From time to time, Iwill write a columnthat, whether youagree with it or not,makes plenty ofsense.

For the next fewnights, our neighbor-hoods become aFourth of July fire-works testing ground

HALLANDALEBEACH - In the lastfew columns, I coveredthe Beachwalk devel-opment project andour budget. Lastmonth the commissionacted on another itemthat is on the top of thelist of concerns for ourresidents and needsimprovement; traffic.This is not just the topcomplaint for our city;it is the same for manycities around thecounty and globe.Even in a small com-munity there is alwayssome type of peak traf-fic flow. In the late1800’s the term rushhour was created andsince then engineers,planners and govern-ments have been try-ing to mitigate traffic.

Of all polled citiesaround our nation 52%showed this as a topissue. If you travel toany vibrant city there istraffic. If there is com-merce, there are jobsand a competitive mar-ket place. In urbancommunities like Hal-landale Beach allthese aspects collide.We have many assetsand with them create aplace where peoplewant to be. We haveboth year round resi-dents and tourists, wehave all types of com-mercial uses and wehave entertainment.These uses place ademand on our builtout roadways.

It has to be noted wedo not even control the

main roads in our city.Broward County andthe Florida Departmentof Transportation arethe two agencies thatmake the final deci-sions and until recentlyhold all the pursestrings. When weadopted our trans-portation plan on a 4-1vote, we created aTransportation ImpactFee. This fee can beused to provide trans-portation improve-ments within ourborders. We do havethe ability to provideinput and play an inte-gral role in how thetraffic plans are imple-mented with BrowardCounty and FDOT.

For the past 10years I have beenserving on the MPO.This agency is madeup of representativesfrom every city and thecounty. We meetmonthly to review andapprove transportationimprovements aroundthe county. Having aseat at the table hasgiven our city the abil-ity to work side by side

with BCT and FDOT toaddress many con-cerns. Over the past six yearsFederal Highway up-grades, HallandaleBeach Boulevard up-grades, extension ofDiana Drive and theA1A project have beenplanned and are in dif-ferent phases of com-pletion. The mostsignificant project willbe the real time fiberoptic traffic signaliza-tion project; ITS. Alongwith Staff, I have lob-bied for this project forthe past years. Weeven asked to createour own system sincethe county did nothave it budgeted in theplans until 2018. Nowit is on the horizon witha scheduled start of2013-2014. Other thenthese projects the nextbest way to addresstraffic is to continuallylook at areas in whichwe can improve flow.

Traffic has alwaysbeen on the top of thelist for the commissionand our city managers.City Manager Mark An-tonio has tackled trafficwith hands on ap-proach. Over the pastyear we have met withBCT and FDOT to im-prove bus transit andmost importantly; flow.At one of last month’scommissions meetingsthey offered changesto Hallandale BeachBoulevard to onceagain address eastwest patterns.

Readers may recall

that last year the com-mission approved thechanges on DixieHighway and HBB.The changes headingeast were to be builtthis year. Many resi-dents simply hate thispattern. I do not thinkthere was one personthat found it to becounterintuitive andwere skeptical that itdid move more trafficfaster and provided alonger time for thelight. FDOT actuallyproved it works. Thatis why the commissionapproved the changeand were ready to seeit completed.

Originally FDOTwanted to eliminate allthe left hand turns atDixie and HBB andcreate a totally differ-ent pattern called a se-ries of rights. Driverswould bypass the leftand make their way toDixie by making rightturns around an adja-cent block. They pro-posed this plan threeyears ago but it wouldhave a direct impact tothe businesses aroundthe tracks. They pro-posed the left on toFirst Avenue be elimi-nated. We stood ourground to protect busi-

nesses and the alter-native was the config-uring at Dixie.

Last meeting thecommission pulled theplug on the existingconfiguration andmoved to adopt a newrecommendation toeliminate the left turnheading south onNorth Dixie. Obviously,as I stated during themeeting, this actionwas trading one area’spain for another. Sureenough a propertyowner on North Dixiecontacted the commis-sion the next day.The change will be re-viewed once moreover the next month tosee if this is the onlysolution for the inter-section.

The other changesthat the commissionagreed to adopt werechanges on GoldenIsles Drive, LayneBoulevard and 10thAvenue at GulfstreamPark. The commissiondelayed actions elimi-nating the left ontoHBB heading eastfrom south bound NE8th Avenue until theproperty owners werefully informed.

All changes are in-tended to add time to

the east west traffic.They are not major in-frastructure changes,but simply lane mark-ing and light timingchanges. I requestedthat Diplomat Park-way also be includedsince the left headingnorth is too short anddoes not allow for carsto turn when there isnot oncoming traffic onHBB. FDOT did mod-eling for the commis-sion to provide someidea of how the newpatterns will improvecirculation. The issuemay arise that the traf-fic heading onto HBBmay be delayed. Wewere assured thechanges can revertback if they create anyunintended problemsdifficulty.

Hope you are hav-ing a wonderful Fourthof July!!!

‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’Traffic is a problem no matter what city you work and live in

Mayor JoyCooper

Of all polled cities around our nation, 52%showed this as a top issue. If you travel to any

vibrant city there is traffic. If there is com-merce, there are jobs and a competitive

market place. In urban communities like Hal-landale Beach all these aspects collide.

fireworks of all kindsare sold at nearbystands, and while weall know that they areillegal, millions of dol-lars are made eachyear, turning overeverything from bottlerockets to black catfirecrackers.

The part that manywill find tough to un-derstand is that while itis great and thrilling tohear the loud bangsand see your neigh-borhood light up, theseare against the law.Doubt it? Try and seehow many friendlyneighbors have had tosue one another overhouses burning or carsset ablaze during aninnocent gathering.

The amateur py-rotechnic that standswith roman candle inhand – or a bottlerocket without a bottle– are exactly whatmany cities are tryingto curb. Would youwant someone shoot-ing fireworks off nextto your house? MitziCohen of Hollywoodprotested for threeyears about two of herneighbors setting offlegal fireworks, ille-gally. Nobody listened.“They had no time to

be bothered with thatsort of thing,” she re-called. “Then, somerocket went throughone neighbors frontwindow and anothergot stuck in the treeand caught fire – some50 feet off the ground.”I am not going to sit

here and be naïve. I

know, for the mostpart, the police depart-ments can’t be con-sumed with that sort ofthing, but in severalneighborhoods, policeride right by were thefireworks are being ig-nited, never stoppingor warning them. That,in many opinions, is ahuge lawsuit waiting tohappen.

“If my property or thesafety of the family isbeing compromisedand a police comes bydoes nothing, we havea problem,” said Aven-tura resident JerrySimon. “My under-standing is that whilethe fireworks are not il-legal, the act of ignit-ing them inneighborhood streets,are. I am sure thesecities wouldn’t want usto go to their homes

and do the same.” So, while we can

toss this issue backand forth, my head isnot in the sand, and Iunderstand that noth-ing will be done – un-less something tragichappens – there aresome important safetytips for you to follow.

This is only for thoseneighborhood pyro co-ordinators who thinkthey have all basescovered:• Kids should neverplay with fireworks.Things like firecrack-ers, rockets, andsparklers are just toodangerous. If you givekids sparklers, makesure they keep themoutside and away fromthe face, clothing, andhair. Sparklers canreach 1,800° Fahren-heit (982° Celsius) —hot enough to meltgold.• Buy only legal fire-works (legal fireworkshave a label with themanufacturer's nameand directions; illegalones are unlabeled),and store them in acool, dry place. Illegalfireworks usually go bythe names M-80,M100, blockbuster, orquarter-pounder.These explosives werebanned in 1966, butstill account for manyfireworks injuries.• Never try to makeyour own fireworks.• Always use fireworksoutside and have abucket of water and ahose nearby in case ofaccidents.• Steer clear of others— fireworks havebeen known to back-fire or shoot off in thewrong direction. Neverthrow or point fire-works at someone,even in jest.• Don't hold fireworksin your hand or haveany part of your bodyover them while light-ing. Wear some sort ofeye protection, andavoid carrying fire-works in your pocket— the friction could setthem off.• Point fireworks awayfrom homes, and keepaway from brush andleaves and flammablesubstances. The Na-tional Fire ProtectionAssociation estimatesthat local fire depart-ments respond tomore50,000 fires caused byfireworks each year.• Light one firework ata time (not in glass ormetal containers),and never relight adud.• Don't allow kids to

pick up pieces of fire-works after an event.Some may still be ig-nited and can explodeat any time.• Soak all fireworks ina bucket of water be-fore throwing them inthe trash can.• Think about your pet.Animals have sensitiveears and can be ex-tremely frightened orstressed on the Fourthof July. Keep pets in-doors to reduce therisk that they'll runloose or get injured.

If anyone is injuredby fireworks, immedi-ately go to a doctor orhospital. If an eye in-jury occurs, don totouch or rub it, as thismay cause even moredamage. Also, don'tflush the eye out withwater or attempt to putany ointment on it. In-stead, cut out the bot-tom of a paper cup,

place it around theeye, and immediatelyseek medical attention— your child's eye-sight may depend onit. If it's a burn, removeclothing from theburned area and runcool, not cold, waterover the burn (do notuse ice). Call yourdoctor immediately.

Fireworks are meantto be enjoyed, butyou'll enjoy them muchmore knowing yourfamily is safe.

families who want a

more Jewish tradi-

tional burial. Along

with all this growth,

Beth David has also

begun construction on

a new mausoleum

building. “Our goal at

Beth David is to grow

and expand to meet

the needs of the com-

munity and families

that we serve. As long

as the needs of our

families continue, we

will keep growing and

developing.” Says

Marc Rubin, Area

Sales Director.

Levitt-Weinstein Me-

morial Chapels &

Cemeteries along with

Blasberg Rubin-Zil-

bert have been in-

volved in the South

Florida community for

over half a century.

What distinguishes

Levitt-Weinstein &

Blasberg Rubin-Zil-

bert is that these

South Florida institu-

tions are still operated

by the third genera-

tion of the original

founding families.

Life is uncertain,

and it's important that

the final resting place

of a loved one be

agreed upon. Our full-

service funeral homes

and cemetery are

proud to be independ-

ently owned and lo-

cally operated. We

are not a public com-

pany traded on the

stock market.

Michael Blasberg,

General Manager,

said, "We have direc-

tors with over 100

years of combined ar-

ranging experience

and are sensitive to

the needs of families.

We strive to build on

our long-term relation-

ships and create new

ones that will stand

the test of time."

The services pro-

vided by Levitt-Wein-

stein Memorial

Chapels & Cemetery

along with Blasberg

Rubin-Zilbert, though,

dedicated to the Jew-

ish community, are

available to people

from all walks of life.

Although our

cemetaries are strictly

for Jewish burials, our

funeral homes are

available to service all

faiths.

Marc Rubin, Area

Sales Director, said,

"Whether your loved

one is staying locally

or transferring out of

state, the funeral

home is here for the

needs of all people

that we serve. The

advantage of being

privately owned and

managed is that deci-

sions can be made

quickly."

"People make

choices in life and

plan ahead for many

things," Rubin says.

"When a death oc-

curs, why place the

burden on your family

to make those eternal

decisions for you?

What if unforeseen

situations arise,

wouldn't you feel bet-

ter knowing you made

your plans before-

hand?"

Shari Bradley, Mar-

keting Director, said,

"One of the benefits

of dealing with us

NOW is that you're

planning in advance,

saving money and re-

lieving your family of

stress by having to

make the last minute

decisions when you’re

not necessarily think-

ing rationally."

"Approximately 90%

of the families we

service have been

pre-arranged," Rubin

said. When you think

about it logically, it

makes sense be-

cause it is just an-

other part of Estate

Planning, like your

Will; and you can han-

dle your funeral and

cemetery wishes at

the same time with

us."

Rubin goes on to

say,"What are you

going to do when a

death occurs? It's im-

portant that each per-

son has a pre-

arranged plan. A per-

son can set up a

financial plan paid out

over a period of time

with no interest

charges. One day you

will need it, so why

wait for that day to

suddenly come?

Long-term planning

locks in at today's

price and protects

against inflation."

Blasberg states,

"There are no two fu-

neral plans the same.

Increasingly, the

Chapel handles spe-

cial requests such as

"Personalized Funer-

als" that celebrate the

life of the person.

In a matter of

speaking, death is a

fact of life and in

those challenging mo-

ments you want a

family there to comfort

you, to love, grieve,

and remember your

spirit. "LET OURFAMILY TREATYOUR FAMILY LIKEOUR OWN."

FOURTH OF JULYBLOWOUT SALE!

Brands International will make this a weekend you’ll always remember

By Richard Robert, Director of Recordsand ArchivesHOLLYWOOD -

Identity theft is agrowing crime thatcan affect just aboutanyone, regardless ofhow careful you mightthink you are. Accord-ing to the FBI, be-tween 500,000 and700,000 Americansevery year are victimsof criminals looking to

cash in on your name.Aside from the loss ofmoney, identity theftcan cause many prob-lems: an extensiveamount of time clos-ing fraudulent bankand credit card ac-counts, repairing yourpersonal credit re-ports, being deniedcredit, loans, or otherservices.

As a result of theoverwhelming popu-

larity of the City’s pre-vious shreddingevents, the Office ofthe City Clerk,Records and ArchivesDivision has sched-uled three more op-

portunities for resi-dents to dispose ofunwanted records.The division hasarranged for shred-ding services to beavailable to residentsand businesses onthe following Satur-days:

August 18, 2012,November 3, 2012,and April 20, 2013 8:00 a.m. to noon,or until the truckreaches capacity All three events are

scheduled to be heldon the west side ofCity Hall Circle, 2600Hollywood Boulevard.Residents with proofof residency will havethe opportunity to

shred up to five boxesof records in a safeand secure environ-ment, insuring theirpersonal and privaterecords do not turn upin the wrong hands.One of the most

common ways thieveshijack your identitystarts right at yourhome or business.According to the U.S.Department of Jus-tice, criminals oftenengage in “dumpsterdiving” going throughyour garbage cans,communal dumpsters,or trash bins in searchof copies of checks,credit card state-ments, bank state-ments or otherrecords that typically

bear your name andaddress. These docu-ments make it easierfor criminals to getcontrol over accountsin your name andeven to assume youridentity. Expertsacross the board rec-ommend that all busi-ness and personalrecords that could fallinto the wrong hands,be shredded beforebeing tossed in thetrash.

There’s a definite re-lationship between asinus infection andtooth pain. Maxillary si-nusitis pain can be feltthrough the jaw, teeth,cheeks and eyes. Painis most often felt alongthe top row of the teethcauses swelling of theplate. Despite the closerelationship between asinus infection andtoothache, there areways to determine ifthe pain is sinus re-lated or dental related.

Facts:Tooth pain can be a

symptom of a sinus in-fection caused by aller-gies or bacteria, or thesinus infection can becaused by an infectionin the maxillary teeth.

Causes:Several agents can

trigger a sinus infectionsuch as allergies,chemical irritant or aninfected maxillarytooth. An infection inthe maxillary teethleads to maxillary si-nusitis. This type ofsinus infection causespain in the teeth andpain or tenderness,below the eye andcheekbone.

SINUS PAINA toothache related

to a sinus infection isrelated to an infectionin the maxillary si-nuses. The pressurethat builds in the maxil-lary sinuses causestooth pain in the upperback teeth. You mayfeel it most when chew-ing food. This pain isreferred to as a sinustoothache. If you’re ex-periencing pain in sev-eral teeth, rather thanone tooth, it’s likely thepain is associated witha sinus infection.

DENTAL PAINDental pain differs

from sinus pain. Usu-ally dental pain is ac-companied by tooth orgum disease, which isusually referred to asgingivitis. Dental painis a sign there’s a prob-lem with teeth, not yoursinuses. Dental paincan affect any of yourteeth because the painis related to either gumor tooth disease. If youstill find it difficult todistinguish dental painfrom sinus pain, meetwith your dentist. If thedentist cannot find adental problem for thesource of your pain,then meet with yourmedical doctor to de-termine if the pain is re-lated to a sinusinfection.

It difficult to distin-guish dental pain fromsinus pain, meet withyour dentist. If the den-tist cannot find a dentalproblem for the sourceof your pain, then meetwith your medical doc-tor to determine if the

pain is related to asinus infection.

SYMPTOMSEvidence of a sinus

infection can includenasal congestion,headache, and dis-charge in the back ofthe throat, fever, toothpain and fatigue. Youcan even experiencetenderness on bothsides of the face orpressure under theeyes.

PREVENTIONTreatment for sinus

infection involves an-tibiotics, decongestantsand antihistamines. In-crease your intake ofvitamins C, especially ifyou feel a cold comingsoon. Vitamin C sup-plement, food rich withvitamin C or orangejuice can help youravert a sinus infection.Prevent spreadinggerms with regularhand washing. Use tis-sue for blowing yournose instead of ahandkerchief that culti-vates the growth ofbacteria.

Sinus problems cancause a myriad ofsymptoms. Some ofthe symptoms are whatyou would expect,runny nose, blockednasal passages, con-gestion, pressure in thesinus and headachesto name a few. Some-times, though, you mayexperience symptomsthat seem totally unre-lated to sinusitis.

One of the most com-mon symptoms thatseem unrelated to si-nusitis is pain in tooth.Sinuses problems cancause sever tooth pain.There have been manyinstances where peo-ple experience toothpain so great they endup seeing a dentist.The dentist upon athorough exam findsabsolutely nothingwrong with the tooth.

Later, after that samepatient is diagnosedwith sinusitis and getsthe proper treatmentthe tooth pain goesaway. That is a classicexample of a symptomof sinusitis appearingto be something else.This happens morethan you would think.

Why can sinus prob-lems lead to toothpain? It has to do with

the way sinusitis mani-fests itself and the po-sition of the sinuscavities in relation toyour teeth.

A sinus infection isan infection of thesinus cavities in yourhead. Two of the cavi-ties, the maxillary si-nuses, are located oneither side of the nosebehind the check.These are the sinusesthat cause tooth pain.

When a sinus cavitybecomes infected thecause is a blockagethat does not allow thesinus to drain. When asinus cannot drain, itcan’t rid itself of themucus it produces toclean the area of bac-teria.Once the drainage iscut off, the bacterium inthe sinus begins tomultiply. The bacteriacount can quickly gofrom hundreds, foundin normal sinuses, tohundreds of thousandsor even million.

You have pus, mucusand air trapped in theinfected sinus. Withoutanywhere to go the flu-ids in the sinus build uppressure. The pressureturns into pain. Pain inthe maxillary sinuses isfelt in the cheeks andsurrounding areas.One of those areas isyour teeth.

An infected maxillarysinus will cause painand sometimesswelling in the area ofthe cheek. You mightfeel pain under eyeand you might feel painin the tooth. It could besevere enough that

you feel like you havea bad toothache.

Not only can thepressure on the insideof the sinus causepain, It can be causedby pressure on the in-side of the sinus, it canbe caused by pressureon the outside as well.Along with the mucusand fluids trapped inthe blocked sinus, air isalso trapped. Any airspaces in your bodyhave to have a pres-sure equal to the pres-sure outside your body.When open and notblocked, air flows inand out of the sinusesfreely.

If there is a change inthe barometric pres-sure, your sinusescompensate the airwayis open. When there isa blockage the air inthe sinus cannot equal-ize to the outside airpressure. If the pres-sure outside increases,that can create a vac-uum in the sinus. Thiscauses more pain inthe area around yourteeth. Another way ablocked sinus cancause tooth pain.

The good thing abouttooth pain caused bysinus problems is thatonce the sinus problemis treated properly thetooth pain goes away.Treatment always con-

sists of two things. Killthe infection and openthe blockage. Oncethose two things hap-pen the tooth pain willbe gone.

If you are experienc-ing tooth pain andthere is no apparentdental reason for this,the cause may be si-

nusitis. Get diagnosedand treated by yourhealth care profes-sional.

Five surprising summer habitsthat pack on the pounds

(ARA) - Swimsuit ready? Not for long. Gaining the weight you lostpreparing for sum-mer is so easy,you're likely to do itwithout trying. If youdon't stop the eatingpatterns that unin-tentionally causeweight gain, you'llnever be successfullosing body fat. Tom Nikkola, direc-

tor of nutrition andweight managementat Life Time Fitness,"The Healthy Way ofLife Company," sayspeople unintentionallysabotage their dieteven as they're cuttingcalories. Here are five ways

you may be packingon the pounds withouteven realizing it: 1. Load up onsugar You don't have to in-dulge in sweets orspoon extra sugar over your food to eat too much. If you eat a lot ofprocessed foods, you're probably already eating too much sugar.Nikkola says you can even find added sugar in processed meats."White flour, bread, waffles, many cereals, chips, granola and crack-ers are easily converted to sugar as well," he adds. 2. Skimp on protein and fat "Protein and fat are macronutrients that are essential to our health,"Nikkola says. "By avoiding these foods, you'll be more likely to havean insatiable appetite." On the flip side, he notes people who includeprotein and fat in every meal are less likely to overeat and may re-duce cravings for carbohydrate-rich or sugary foods. 3. Eat more breakfast cereal "A bowl of cereal is a great way to start the day if your goal is accu-mulating additional body fat," Nikkola says. Such a breakfast canleave you hungry just a few hours later, and reaching for high-carbo-hydrate snack foods. Before noon you'll likely be feeling the effectsof low blood sugar, like trouble focusing, a reduction in energy andincrease in irritability (which only makes you want to eat more). 4. Fill up on fruit and fruit juice Fruit and fruit juice are not synonymous in a healthy diet. "Juice ismuch more concentrated in sugar, especially fructose, and does notinclude fiber, which may help reduce your appetite," Nikkola ex-plains. "Loading up on juice is a great way to increase calorie intake,much like drinking soda would be." Even too much whole fruit canlead to too much sugar in your diet. The best way to balance outyour fruit and vegetable intake is to eat three to four servings of non-starchy vegetables for each serving of fruit. 5. Reward yourself after every workout "It doesn't take much to offset what you burn in each workout,"Nikkola says. "With a muffin, some chips, or a bowl of pasta you'll re-place all the glycogen you burned in your training session and eatenough extra carbohydrates to add to your fat stores." Instead, re-fuel with whole food and include protein for better recovery.

Of course you don't really want to gain weight this summer. LifeTime Fitness has an in-house nutritionist on staff at most of its 105clubs to work with members on their personal nutrition goals.

"When you become aware of the many causes of weightgain, you'll understand why the approach we take at LifeTime Weight Loss is more complicated, and more person-alized, than most other weight management systems,"

Nikkola says. If you'd like to see a longer list of how to getfatter this summer, check out Nikkola's article 14 Ways to

Get Fatter at www.lifetime-weightloss.com.

Gaining the weight you lostpreparing for summer is soeasy, you're likely to do itwithout trying. If you don't

stop the eating patterns thatunintentionally cause weight

gain, you'll never be suc-cessful losing body fat.

(ARA) - You can'tavoid it: Summer ac-tivities mean bites,bumps, burns andbruises. Make sureyou're ready bystocking up on thesemedicine-cabinet ba-sics: Over-the-counter painrelievers

Summer is the timewhen people arebreaking out golfclubs, gardening toolsand baseball gloves.All that activity in-creases the likelihoodof muscle aches,strains and sprains.For basic relief, ex-perts recommendover-the-counter(OTC) pain relieverssuch as naproxensodium, ibuprofen oracetaminophen. Al-though most mild in-juries can be treatedsuccessfully at home,you should see adoctor if you experi-ence numbness or aninability to move with-out significant pain.

Sunscreen and lotions

Sunburn can, ofcourse, be preventedby protecting yourskin with sunscreenor clothing wheneveryou're outdoors. But ifyou forget, treatmentssuch as a lotion thatcontains aloe veracan provide symptomrelief. OTC pain re-lievers don't heal orprevent damage toskin, but they can re-duce the pain,swelling and discom-fort associated withsunburn. These areespecially beneficialwhen taken duringthe first 24 hours ofsun exposure.

Hydrocortisone,topical creams

and antihistamines Insect bites are as

much a part of sum-mer as sunshine. Ifyou're stung by an in-sect and the stinger isstuck in your skin, tryto remove it carefullyto prevent the releaseof more venom. Forany bite or sting,wash the area withsoap and water andapply a cold pack orcloth filled with ice toreduce pain andswelling. A pain re-liever, such as ibupro-fen oracetaminophen, mayalso help with any as-sociated pain. A topi-cal cream containinghydrocortisone canbe used to provideitch relief. You canalso take an OTC an-tihistamine containingdiphenhydramine ifyou have a mild aller-gic reaction. Most people have

mild reactions to in-sect bites and experi-ence little more thanan itching or stingingsensation and mildswelling that will dis-appear within a dayor so. Signs andsymptoms of a se-vere reaction can in-clude nausea, facialswelling, difficultybreathing, abdominal

pain, and deteriora-tion of blood pressureand circulation. If anyof these occur, youshould call 911 imme-diately.

Heartburn medicines

Warm weathermeans baseball sea-son and backyardbarbecues - whichcan also mean re-peated cases ofheartburn after toomany chili dogs andbeverages. Heartburn is most

often described as aburning sensation be-hind the breast bonethat moves up towardthe neck or throat.This occurs whenstomach acid irritatesthe normal lining ofthe esophagus. Peo-ple may also experi-ence acidregurgitation withheartburn, which isthe sensation ofstomach fluid comingup through the chestinto the mouth. Lesscommon symptomsthat may also be as-sociated with gastroesophageal reflux in-clude unexplainedchest pain, wheezing,sore throat andcough, among others. Planning ahead and

knowing which OTCtreatments may helpis essential to keep-ing your summergatherings pleasant.Bring along a fewover-the-countertreatments, likeantacids or H2 block-ers, when you headout for summer festiv-ities. People whohave heartburn atleast twice a weekmight want to talk totheir doctor about tak-ing a proton pump in-hibitor such asomeprazole or lanso-

prazole.

Diarrhea medications

If your summer va-cation plans includetraveling to new andfar-flung places, it's agood idea to be pre-pared for certainstomach ailments.Travelers' diarrhea, adigestive tract disor-der that causes loosestools and abdominalcramps, is caused byconsuming contami-nated food or water.Though this illness isirritating and may dis-rupt a day or two ofvacation, it usuallyisn't serious and canbe treated at home. To reduce your risk,

be careful about whatyou eat and drinkwhile traveling. If youdo develop diarrhea,it may go away with-out treatment. If not,bismuth subsalicylatecan decrease the fre-quency of your bath-room trips andshorten the durationof your illness.

Tip:When buyingOTC medications,you can often savemoney by purchasingstore-brands. Store-brand OTCs have thesame efficacy as na-tional brands andmeet or exceed Foodand Drug Administra-tion quality standards,but cost an averageof 36 percent less,according to Perrigo,a Michigan-basedpharmaceutical com-pany that manufac-tures and distributesmost of the over-the-counter medicationsfound under store-brand labels at lead-ing retailers, grocers,club stores and phar-macies.

Summer survivaltips: The medicinecabinet edition

Adolescence can be atough time for childrenand their parents. Whileit is a natural part ofchildhood developmentto test boundaries andexplore autonomy, howcan a parent tell whento call in a professionalfor help with an out-of-control child?

It can be difficult to tellwhat is normal develop-ment and what is be-yond the pale,especially between 12and 16 years of age.There is an establishedrise in difficulty in theparent-child relationshipin the late middleschool and early highschool years, saysDevin Byrd, Ph.D.,dean of the College ofHealth Professions atSouth University.

"Around this age, chil-dren are developing ab-stract thought andautonomy," says Byrd,

who holds a Ph.D. inclinical psychology andis an expert in child andadolescent psychologyand development. "Chil-dren and teens are find-ing that their friendshave opinions they maywant to agree with,which can lead to a lossof authority for parents." While some level of

boundary-testing is nat-ural, Byrd says thatthere are signs that par-ents can look for to tellif their child needs help.

"Some children ex-hibit externalizing be-havior: acting out inschool, fighting, stealingand being less tolerantof others' behavior.Some will internalizethings. They will be-come anxious or de-pressed, withdraw fromfriends and family, andbe less interested in ac-tivities and schoolwork,"he says.

Other signs could bebad grades, a changein peer groups, and atendency toward daring,high-risk activities.Sometimes thesechanges can be tied toa life-changing event,such as divorce or thedeath of a loved one.But the changes may

also occur so graduallythat a parent may notbe able to recognizehow bad things havebecome. Byrd suggests talking

to your child's teachersand even your friendsand family members togauge whether a childhas gone too far. Over-all, don't be afraid toask for help. It is betterto get help too earlythan too late. Once you have de-

cided to seek profes-sional help, you may beable to find a referral fora therapist from yourchild's doctor, or fromschool or church offi-cials. Another optionmay be to go throughyour health insuranceprovider or workplaceemployee assistanceprogram. When you have cho-

sen a therapist, Byrd of-fers a few suggestionsfor your first visit:

* Talk to your childabout why you want toseek help, and be openabout the process.Don't think you can trickyour child into therapy. * Take any notes youhave made about yourchild's behavior, alongwith any drawings,poems or stories thatthe child has created. * Go in with your childfor the first visit. It willshow your child thatyou are committed tothe process. After that,the therapist may ormay not invite you backfor future sessions.

* Be ready to talk in anopen, honest manner -and be prepared tomake changes along-side your child. Byrdsays to remember that"you are not droppingyour child off to be'fixed.' You may well bepart of the problem." Depending on the is-

sues involved and thestyle of the therapist,the length of time yourchild may spend in ther-apy will vary. But ingeneral, be preparedfor a commitment of twoto three months orlonger. Therapy can and does

help adolescentsthrough what can be avery difficult period intheir lives, and you candemonstrate a healthypattern for living by ad-dressing issues with thehelp of professionals.

"As with any therapy,having a professionaltake an outside view atthe situation can bequite beneficial," saysByrd. "It is much easierfor someone else to seewhat is going on with usthan it is for us to seewhat is going on withourselves."

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: As manyas 1 in 7 have it, but few speak of it(ARA) - It's a disorder that affects between 25 and 45 million people in the

United States. Itsexact cause is notknown and for thosewho suffer from irrita-ble bowel syndrome,or IBS, the symptomscan have a significantimpact on their life. Itmay impact a person'semotional, personaland work life. Andthere's the additionalburden that comesfrom living in a societywhere the word"bowel" is rarely spo-ken. Many people suf-fering do not see theirdoctor and thosearound them may beunaware of the impactor even the existenceof the disorder. To raise awareness

of IBS and encouragepatients to work withtheir doctors, Abby, anIBS patient, is sharingher personal story in a new public service announcement (PSA), "Educat-ing Americans about Living with IBS." The PSA also features Dr. Lauren B.Gerson, Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford School of Medicine,who discusses the importance of working with a health care provider to de-termine if you have IBS and discuss ways to manage IBS symptoms.

For Abby, it took suffering through a milestone event to motivate her tosee her doctor. From the time she was 22, Abby often felt uncomfortable,experiencing symptoms of constipation, bloating and abdominal pain on aregular basis. Initially, she thought the stress of planning her wedding andmoving to a new city was to blame for her symptoms, but the discomfortlasted well after her big day. After trying with limited success to manage hersymptoms through lifestyle changes, Abby decided to take control of herlife, and went to her doctor to talk about her symptoms. It was then thatAbby was diagnosed with IBS.

"I had so much bloating, it felt like I had a balloon in my stomach," saysAbby, who suffers from IBS-C, or IBS with constipation. "With the help ofmy doctor, I took action and learned how to manage my symptoms."

Working together, Abby and her doctor came up with a treatment plan forher. "I want to let other IBS patients know that they are not alone. They, too,can take the first step to be empowered and speak to their doctor to discussways to manage their symptoms," Abby adds.

As many as one in seven people suffer from IBS, and about three-quar-ters of patients are not receiving the care they need to manage their symp-toms. There are three main types of IBS; IBS with constipation (IBS-C), IBSwith diarrhea (IBS-D) and IBS with mixed constipation and diarrhea (IBS-M). Common symptoms include abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating,and changes of bowel habits such as constipation and/or diarrhea. Whilethere is not a specific test for the disorder, people who think they mighthave IBS should consult their health care provider, who can help to diag-nose and develop an appropriate treatment plan, based on a completemedical history that includes a careful description of symptoms and a physi-cal examination. "People who have IBS often experience its symptoms differently," explains

Dr. Gerson. "Along with changes in bowel habits, some of my patientsmight feel pain inside the abdomen. Another patient feels like she has knotsin her belly which is so uncomfortable that she avoids doing some activitieswith her family."

Together, Abby and Dr. Gerson provide a glimpse of what it is like to livewith IBS. This is the first PSA dedicated to IBS in 10 years and was devel-oped with the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disor-ders (IFFGD). IFFGD is a nonprofit education and research organizationdevoted to educating, helping and supporting people affected by GI disor-ders.

Global Jewelry Buying House

Global Jewelry Buying House. They have been doing business in New York for 30 years and are now beginning their rapid expansion - right here in Aventura.

AVENTURA - You saw an ad for Global Jewelry Buying House and wanted to learn more before you trusted your jewelry to them. You called and they told you to come to their Buying House at 18677 West Dixie Highway in Aventura, FL. Not knowing what to expect, you brought only a couple of pieces of unwanted jewelry and a silver serv-ice, no longer in use.

Upon arrival, you were buzzed into the store by their private secu-rity officer and were met in the lobby by the Director of Buying, Danny. He took you down a warm and inviting hallway to one of sev-eral boutique-like rooms. You were asked if you would like coffee or water and was served your bottled water in a crystal stemmed glass.

By Suzanne Wallace - Sun Times Danny took out a purchase form, wrote your name and date on the form and after opening up his jew-elers light, asked to see what you had brought. He examined your two pieces of jewelry and wrote a value on the form next to a description and then looked at your silver and assessed its value.

At that point, you had a decision to make...sell it now or take your copy of the purchase form to show your wife. You decided the price was certainly fair and sold your jew-elry for cash. You took your silver service back home to make sure your wife agreed with the sale and showed her the purchase form with the price that was offered. Your wife agreed it was a good price so tomorrow you will take it back, along with the purchase order, and

be given the price listed. What’s more, you have decided to take some more jewelry that has been lying in a jewelry box for years and cash it in too.

That is a typical experience at the Global Jewelry Buying House. They have been doing business in New York for 30 years and are now beginning their rapid expansion.

More Planned For South Florida

Three new Buying Houses are in the works in the Aventura area and more planned in the South Florida area. One of the things that make this business unique, other than their boutique look, is that they don’t sell jewelry at their locations; they only buy from the public. Because they are a well-known International Jewelry Buying House,

they have customers world-wide who buy from them. They provide a liquid global market for previously owned jewelry and for that reason; they are able to offer the highest prices to you. They are the leading global buyer of fine jewelry, dia-monds and watches from the pub-lic. A GIA Certified Gemologist is on site to examine your diamonds.

Converting Gold And Diamonds Into Cash

It’s a new concept-the modern way to sell your fine jewelry. You can convert your collection of estate jewelry or diamonds for cold hard cash. Good to know in these economic times. Although it was pointed out that most of their cus-tomers aren’t selling because they need the money...they are selling because their lifestyle has changed and they no longer need or want the silver or jewelry.

Coins, Gold And Much MoreThey specialize in American Eagle

coins. They buy scrap gold, 10k, 14k, 18k, and unlike some, they are the top buyers of gold filled. They buy silver, platinum, rings, brace-lets, necklaces, cufflinks, money clips, earrings, chains, brooches, watches, key chains, dental gold, class rings, pins, estate jewelry, col-lectibles and much more. Global

Jewelry Buying House is the larg-est gold buyer in South Florida.

Best of all, you are treated in a professional manner and if you are worried about your security, you will be escorted to your car by their security guard. It’s a no worry, no hassle, and great way to sell your jewelry, watches or collectibles.

Global Jewelry Buying House is located at 18677 West Dixie Highway Aventura, FL 33180 Telephone: 305-705-9600. Hours: Mon – Fri 10 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.

CELEBRATE AMERICASaturday’s beach party brought out large crowds

While many communities will celebratethe Fourth of July this Wednesday, the Cityof Hallandale Beach continued its traditionof hosting America's Birthday celebrationthe Saturday (June 30) before the holiday.

Last Saturday, itwas certainly partytime at South BeachPark, as hundredsof residents and vis-itors celebratedAmerica. Young-sters and their par-ents packed the park for games, fun,and coloring books.A foam pit, waterslide, bounce houseand bungee jumpkept the children ac-tive. Perfectweather was theorder of the day.

HEROES AT HOMEThe Hallandale Beach Area Chamber of

Commerce is reaching out to area veteransTuesday, July 10, offering assistance to meethousing, job training, educational and medicalneeds. The six-hour forum runs from 9 a.m. to 3p.m. at the Cultural Community Center, 410 SE3rd Avenue. Lunch will be provided to participat-ing veterans.

“Doing For Those Who Did For Us,” is theadaptation of a similar national partnership be-tween the U.S. Chamber of Commerce andNBC News, said Hallandale Beach Area Cham-ber President Carole Pumpian. “I figured it wasperfect for our area.”

The Heroes At Home project is designed tohelp those veterans who served the UnitedStates and are now in need of assistance.

Former Chamber of Commerce President JoeKessel stepped in, forged a partnership be-tween the Chamber of Commerce and the Cityof Hallandale Beach, and modified the nationalprogram to create the forum.

“It’s been tweaked to fit the local needs of vet-erans,” said Ms. Pumpian.

The program will be a fast-paced environmentproviding 15-20 minute presentations to veter-ans on a variety of subjects and area servicesfrom job training to affordable housing options.

“There are about 110,000 veterans in BrowardCounty,” said Owen Walker, Broward CountyVeterans Affairs manager. “The problem isthere is assistance for veterans who meet cer-tain criteria. If you don’t meet those criteria, youfall through the cracks.”

Walker said the local, state and federal gov-ernments have programs for disabled veterans,but able-bodied veterans who are in need areoften overlooked and go without services.

The program is not a job fair, but will have ex-perts to help and coach veterans seeking em-ployment. WorkForce One and theIreachamerica Foundation will have representa-tives to meet with veterans about job assistanceand training. Hallandale Beach CRA will discusscommunity redevelopment housing assistanceprograms, and Broward Housing Solutions willdiscuss additional housing options. Wells Fargowill have a representative to discuss specialmortgage programs to assist veterans.

Representatives from the Veterans Adminis-tration outreach office will discuss programs.Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) officials willhost an open discussion on issues and solu-tions to veterans’ problems.

State Representative Joe Gibbons will discussthe role of state government in helping veter-ans. Federal assistance will be discussed by of-ficials from U.S. Senator Marco Rubio’s officeand U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s office.

Whole Foods will provide a buffet luncheon forthe veterans.

For more information, please contactthe Hallandale Beach Area Chamber of

Commerce at 954-454-0541.

(ARA) - Gatheringwith family and friendsin the summer helps tocreate enjoyable mem-ories of afternoons andevenings spent withdelicious grilled foods,fun games and goodsocializing.

Organizing thesegatherings isn't difficult,and with a little prac-tice, you'll be known byyour family, friends andneighbors as an ex-pert, both in organizingan excellent outdoorgathering, and in yourgrilling techniques. To spice up your bar-

becue menu and makethe gathering one to re-member, Chef AaronMcCargo Jr., host ofBig Daddy's House onthe Food Network, hassome planning andgrilling tips to share.

"Summer barbecuesshould be fun, flavorfuland carefree. And, it allstarts with a flavorfulmenu," McCargo Jr.says. "This is the per-fect time of year to ex-periment with flavorcombinations whenplanning your menu.From seasonal fruitsand vegetables tomarinades and sauces,there are many differ-ent ways to combineflavors that best repre-sent the mood or

theme of your celebra-tion."

* Prep your food per-fectly. Marinate yourmeat in Glad(R)freezer bags overnightor several hours beforeto lock in the deliciousflavors you're going tobe serving. * Gather together someuseful, but often forgot-ten materials that willmake life a little easierduring your event, likeweights or clips, mark-ers and stickers. Thetable weights are tokeep the table clothdown - old unusedkeys pinned on the cor-ners work well. Mark-ers are so everyonecan write their nameson their cups forreusing. For a fun twist,encourage people tomake up a name, andthen guess whose cupbelongs to whom. Fi-nally, put stickers onthe underside of a cou-ple of plates and mixup the pile. Hand out adoor prize to the peo-ple who end up usingthe stickered plates. * Games are also veryimportant, and have avariety on hand for kidsand adults alike. Fam-ily Dollar offers a funselection of prizes andactivities for everyone,

in every age group -without breaking yourbarbecue budget. Cre-ate your own kickballfield, or establish asmaller bean bag tossgame to encourage alittle friendly competi-tion. Another activityperfect for kids is side-walk art. * When grilling, turnmeat only once. Forsteaks, turn the meatwhen the juices start tobubble on the top. Theclearer the juice, themore well-done themeat. * Apply sauces contain-ing honey, brown sugaror molasses during thelast 10 minutes ofgrilling to prevent thesauces from burning. * Keep a spray bottlehandy so you can calmdown grill flare-ups,which could blackenthe food. * Clean up throughoutthe gathering, both tomake the process eas-ier when everyone'sready to go home afterdark, and also to helpkeep the insects away.Check out Family Dol-lar for the best valueon basic cleaning sup-plies, such as trashbags, disinfectingwipes, and Scott(R)Brand Paper Towels.

Preparing for the perfect summer barbecue gathering

(ARA) - Why is it thata steak from a restau-rant just seems totaste better than whatyou make at home?Often, it's because thechefs in the restaurantknow the secrets ofgreat grilling.

"Steak is a summerstaple for many homecooks when theweather permits, butthings can go awry ifyou're not clued in tothe secrets of how toprepare a great steak,"says John Li, seniorvice president of re-search and develop-ment for OutbackSteakhouse. "As veri-table steak experts,and with summergrilling season uponus, we want to helppeople preparing to trytheir hands at grillingsteak.

Li offers some ad-vice for grilling suc-cessful steak mealsthis summer: * Start with theright steak. Build arelationship with yourlocal butcher - either atyour grocery store or, ifyou're lucky enough tohave one in yourneighborhood, thearea butcher shop.Learn where theysource their meat, if it'saged and for how long.Many cuts lend them-selves to grilling, butsirloin, filet, strip andrib eye remain themost popular. Sirloinand strip steak areusually the best op-tions if you're feeding alarge group, as theyprovide abundant fla-vor and are usually

less expensive thanother cuts. * Prep the grillproperly. Onceyou've got the rightmeat, ensure your grillis ready to cook it toperfection. Start with awell-cleaned grill andpreheat it. If you'reusing a charcoal grill,wait until the coals arewhite. For gas grills,use a thermometer.Many newer modelshave built-in gaugeson the lids that indicatewhen the grill is hotenough to use. * Add some sea-soning. While the grillis preheating, prep thesteak by patting it dry.Removing moisture al-lows for optimum sur-face contact with thegrill and creates awonderful seared fla-vor. Rub with the sea-soning of your choice;there are many, butkeep in mind simplesalt and pepper workswell if you're startingwith an already flavor-ful cut. * Get grilling. Oncethe grill and steak areready, place the meaton the grill. You canachieve a fancy dia-mond-shaped grill pat-tern by rotating themeat 45 degrees whenyou turn it, but themeat will taste just asgood without it. Cook-ing time will vary de-pending on the cut ofmeat and the grill it-self. Generally, thinnersteaks (about 1 inch

thick) will need aboutfour minutes per sideto be rare, five formedium and seven forwell done. Thickersteaks (2 inches ormore) will need aboutsix minutes per sidefor rare, eight to 10 formedium and 12 forwell done. * Let it rest. Over-cooking is a sure-fireway to dry out steak.As soon as the steak

has reached your de-sired level of wellness,remove it from the grilland let it rest for aboutfive minutes beforeyou serve or cut it.This allows the juicesto set well in the meatbefore you dig in.

Not sure where tostart? Try this recipefrom Outback Steak-

house: 4 rib eye steaks, 12

to 14 ounces each 4 teaspoons Koshersalt 2 teaspoons coarselyground black pepper 2 tablespoons veg-etable oil

Evenly season eachsteak with a teaspooneach of salt and pep-per. Coat each steakwith a half tablespoonof vegetable oil. Thismay be done up to

three hours prior togrilling, storing in therefrigerator. Removefrom the refrigeratorabout 30 minutes be-fore grilling.

Start the grill. Placeseasoned steaks overthe hottest portion ofthe grill and cook onthe first side about fourto five minutes, rotat-ing 90 degrees afterthree minutes toachieve restaurant-style "cross marks."Turn steaks over andcook for an additionalthree to four minutesto achieve a medium-rare doneness. Re-move from grill andallow to rest for fiveminutes before toppingand serving.

Of course, even insummer there aretimes when you justwon't feel like cookingyour own steak.Whether it's a specialnight out, a family cel-ebration or you're justin the mood to sinkyour teeth into some-thing you didn't have tocook and won't have toclean up afterward,restaurant steaks arestill a good option. AtOutback Steakhouse,for example, guestscan enjoy a variety ofcuts and preparationsthat allow for a customexperience, withoutany of the hassle.
