After the FloridaHouse of Representa-tives let the vote lapseto pass a hotel tax fornearly $400 million insubsidies for improve-ments to privately-owned Sun LifeStadium, the future ofMiami hosting moreSuper Bowls seemsuncertain, as doespossibly the long-term

future of the MiamiDolphins, as well.

The Florida Legisla-ture did not vote onthe plan, which alsocalled for Miami-DadeCounty paying forabout one-third of theproject. In spite of ab-sentee ballots havingbeing cast, the refer-endum on DolphinsStadium plan was notconsidered on May14.

The Dolphins sought$3 million a year fromthe state and an in-crease in county hoteltaxes from six toseven percent to keeptheir stadium andSouth Florida a con-tender for futureSuper Bowls, includ-ing the game for2016, of which Miamiand San Franciscowere considered lead-ing contenders.

While some cite thevery principle of taxmoney being appliedfor upgrades to a pri-vately-owned facility,regardless of its bene-

fit to the city and re-gion, as inappropriate,others are wary of thelegacy of problemsfrom the new MiamiMarlins Stadium.

HALLANDALEBEACH - Over thepast months the cityhas been developingthe budget for the fis-cal year 2013-2014.Our city has heldmultiple quadrantmeetings and thecommission has alsoconducted visionsessions and strate-gic planning to setthe path for our com-munity. The strategicplanning piece in-cluded a citizen andbusiness survey. Thissurvey combinedwith the shared vi-sion of the commis-sion is beingdeveloped into abusiness plan. Theplan will set forthservices and theneeds that all stake-holders want to seeimproved or added tooperations to moveour city forward.

This process doesnot have a beginningor end. It is ongoingand encompassesbasic core servicesincluding police, fire,parks, water, sewer,drainage, roads andall other infrastruc-ture components.What priorities areset depend on levelof need. For exam-ple, two years agothe major concernshown in our surveywas flooding. Flood-ing was addressedthrough identifyingthe priority, evaluat-ing the infrastructureconditions and devel-

oping a plan of ac-tion. The action planwas then budgetedfor the improve-ments. The NE adSW drainage proj-ects were budgetedand are under con-struction. While thiswas prioritized thecity continued to pro-vide and budget forcore services andother programs thatsustain and improveour community andquality life of our resi-dents.

Currently the com-mission has estab-lished nine strategicpriorities based onthe evaluation of sur-veys and workshops.These may be nar-rowed by the com-mission at a futuremeeting. They in-clude (in no specificrank) job creationand business friendlyenvironment; pro-mote quality eco-nomic development;improve functionalityand affordability ofcity infrastructure,operation excellence,

improved safety se-curity and comfort ofresidents, establishcohesive visual ap-peal citywide, main-tain a civil andrespectful govern-ment, improved qual-ity of life andservices and becom-ing a vibrant destina-tion.

These prioritieshave been translatedinto a targeted busi-ness plan by eachdepartment directorand tied to measuredgoals and fiscal im-pacts. The process isstill underway andthe city is conductingone more budgettown hall meeting togather input beforeour budget work-shops. The meetingis scheduled June3rd at the Commu-nity Cultural Centerform 6-8 PM. Pleaseattend and shareyour ideas and con-cerns.

This Tuesday theCity Commissionjoined The RelatedGroup for the cere-monial ground break-ing for TheBeachwalk Hotel/Condo project at theold Manero’s site. Inaddition to their salesteam, the commis-sion and staff repre-sentatives from the

Palm Community Ac-tion Coalition were inattendance to cele-brate the CommunityBenefit Partnershipbetween RelatedPCAC and the City.

Over the pastweeks PCAC has or-ganized training of16 candidates thatwill graduate withconstruction certifica-tions. These workerswill be ready to workdirectly on the con-struction of theBeachwalk. The 16students are unem-ployed residents thatare directly from ourcommunity.

In addition to pro-viding direct jobs,Related has alsocommitted to usinglocal vendors andcontractors here inour city. These vitalpartnerships addresstwo of our mainstrategic prioritiespromoting qualityeconomic develop-ment and creatingjobs. CBP’s are nowpart of our purchas-ing and bid require-ments. Any project orbid that is awarded isrequired to provide aCBP. This require-ment has beenplaced in our code ofordinances.

In addition to Bidsand RFQ’s the com-

mission also adoptedrecommendationsproposed by Staff onour purchasing poli-cies. Our city has al-ways focused onbuying local. Ifgoods or servicesare purchased, Staffwould give local pref-erence. The new pol-icy fine tunes thelocal preference byallowing the localvendor to match aprice if they werewithin 10% of theprice or bid.

Our city is only 4.4square miles, so thenext preference rankwent to county ven-dors. I asked that be-fore we go to thecounty vendors, welook to businessesowned by our ownhomesteaded resi-dents outside of HB.This allows for thecity to give taxpayershere in our own citysupport and keep ourdollars here at home.

Economic Develop-ment is a conceptthat is thrown aroundbut is not truly de-fined. To me it is thecreation of wealth inour own community.It is putting forwardpolicies that help ourlocal business growand create jobs. It isalso keeping our taxdollars right here in

the city to continue acomplete cycle of taxdollars.

IT IS NOT TOOLATE

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––proposal and subsequently taking it off the ballot, Aventura residentBrenda Vitucci was leaning no toward public dollars for the expansionbecause of the added sales tax on hotels.

“I think the negative outweighs the positive,” says Vitucci, “espe-cially with the track record of our Miami politicians. We [Miami] arefighting so many other cities for tourist dollars, we could get evenless because of this. Tourist planning trips who check the hotel ratesprior to vacation will find other Florida cities cheaper. That will affectthe entire tourist industry negatively here...restaurants, retail andrecreation. Florida will also have a $90 million dollar revenue shortfallin the budget because of special exemptions they want to give theDolphins.”

Potential revenue shortfalls typically mean higher sales or propertytax for everyone, not just visiting tourists looking to save every dollarin an already expensive market.

The public subsidization for improvements to a privately ownedstadium is a gripe for many who feel that Dolphin Stadium should payits own way and raise its own capital for modernization, just as anyprivate business venture is expected to do.

Although the city did not take a formal position on the vote, Aven-tura Mayor Susan Gottlieb was opposed to the expenditure of touristtax dollars on the mainland for funding of a privately-owned stadium.

“I was most against the $3 million a year sales tax rebate thatcould  have been used for so many needs in our community,” saysMayor Gottlieb. “I firmly believe that had the vote gone forward, theresidents of Miami-Dade County would have rejected the proposal.Remember Joe Robbie, who built the stadium with private funds?Hopefully, Mr. Ross and his partners will do the same!”

DOWNTOWN HOLLYWOOD'S MURALS KEEP AUDIENCES ON

THEIR TOESArtist Daniel Pontet Channels Music to Paintwith Feet During ArtWalk May 18 at 7 p.m.HOLLYWOOD - Downtown Hollywood's mural initiative has everyone on

their toes, including artist Daniel Pon-tet who, for Third Saturday ArtWalk,will paint "reactionary impulse art" withhis feet in a rhythmic drum circle spon-sored by Resurrection Drums. Im-pulses, inspired by the sounds andbeats of live drummers, allow Pontet todraw from his subconscious and movein instinctive ways across the canvas.

"At one point I realized that I waslimited by the use of hands andbrushes," said Pontet. "As a hyperreal-ist or figurative artist, this obsessivedesire to add the smallest of detailstook me away from the natural flow ofmusic, which I listened to as back-ground during my work. That's when Icame up with this crazy idea of usingmy feet. I wanted to feel the musicmore deeply and paint that inspira-tion."

Pontet first began using his feet when he noticed how often the fluidity ofhis brushstrokes, when done by hand, would be interrupted to achievegreater detail. In shifting his process to focus on the lower extremities, Pon-tet was physically compelled to apply broader movement and also, to thinkof music as a collaborator and conduit rather than an acoustic accompani-ment.

On view alongside Pontet's performance art, visitors can experiencemore than a half-dozen figurative, geometrically abstract and contemporarymurals, credited with stirring the City of Hollywood's arts scene. 2alas' mostrecently completed "Mona Lisa" wall brings one of the most recognizedwomen in history back to life at 1900 Hollywood Boulevard, while tableausby Evoca1 ("Posers & Dream Crushers"), Eddie Mendieta ("Overlook") andLuis Pinto ("Amduat") are interspersed throughout the neighborhood.

SPOTLIGHT ON HOLLYWOODHurricane Season Is

Here … Get Ready Now!

Jose J. Alvarez, DMDis an award-winninggraduate from the Uni-versity of Pennsylvaniaand is an Implant Diplo-mate from the presti-gious Misch Institute ofImplantology. Dr. Al-varez has been practic-ing in South Floridasince 1995 and aftermany years of focusingmainly on implantcases, he has perfectedthe technique of dentalimplant surgery with ex-traordinary results. Dr. Alvarez’s implantsurgery technique (flap-less implant placement)will offer many benefitsto the qualified candi-date: • The most advancedequipment is used tomanage gum/gingival

tissue and bone toplace the implants andthen the opening issealed with titaniumcaps. This techniqueeliminates the needof using blades, re-quires no incisions andeliminates the need forstitches. These factorsgreatly minimize post-surgical discomfort,bleeding and healingtime.• Dr. Alvarez uses in-house 3D imaging andCT-scanning which al-lows precision in plan-ning his surgeries. Dental implants are thebest option for replacinga single tooth or severalteeth. They feel, lookand function similar tonatural teeth and are afar better alternative to

traditional dentures orbridges that tend tocause difficulty in eatingand functionality whichcan lead to embarrass-ment. The other bene-fits of dental implantsinclude:• Implants do not re-quire the modification orsacrificing of adjacentteeth, therefore, theoverall dental health ofremaining teeth is main-tained.• Implants fuse to thebone, preserving bonemass and structure, be-coming a very strongbase for crowns or otherprostheses. • Implants are designedfor durability and lastmany years, or can lasta lifetime. • Unlike removable den-tures, dental implantseliminate the inconven-ience of messy adhe-sives.Dental implants will sup-port a variety of dentalprostheses, such asdentures, fixed bridgesand crowns. Theprocess for placing den-tal implants requiresseveral procedures andit can go from immedi-ate loading with a den-ture or bridge to 4-10months to completion.Qualified candidates fordental implants are gen-erally in good oral andgeneral health and free

of periodontal (gum)disease. The most im-portant factor is ensur-ing the patient hasadequate bone in thejaw to support the im-plant(s). If the patientdoes not, then bonemay be added using aprocedure commonlyknown as bone grafting.A thorough exam andconsultation with Dr. Al-varez will help a patientunderstand all ofhis/her options and theappropriate treatmentplan will be developedand presented to thepatient. Dr. Alvarez’sentire team is commit-ted to the finest dentalcare in a state-of-the-artfacility where personal-ized care is priority. Patients interested indental implants shouldknow Dr. Alvarez offersa complimentary con-sultation and can offerdental implants inacrylic, porcelain andzirconia; dependingupon the patient’sbudget and other fac-tors determined duringthe initial consultation. The office of Jose J. Al-

varez, DMD & Associ-ates is conveniently lo-cated to serve thecommunities of North

Hearing loss can bedevious. It may not bereadily apparent tothe person who suf-fers from it, becausethe process is oftenan insidious one. “Itcan take eight to 10years before some-one with gradualhearing loss becomesaware of it,” says RickCox, owner of Afford-able Hearing Aids inHallandale Beach.“Someone else whois close to the personoften notices it first.”

Subtle signs ofhearing loss includeneeding to turn up thevolume of the TV orradio farther than be-fore, having to askothers to repeat whatthey said, or needingto be closer to some-one who is speakingto you.

If you do suspectyou might be experi-encing hearing loss,the first thing to do isto have your conditionevaluated by a pro-fessional. It may besomething that canbe treated medically.“Sometimes it’s assimple as waxbuildup,” Cox says.“Or it may be an in-fection of some kind.Then we send theperson to an ear,nose and throat doc-tor.”

NEW TECHNOLOGY ISAVAILABLE

If, however, youhave a loss that re-quires sound amplifi-cation, there is goodnews. New technol-ogy has resulted indevices that are farsuperior to those ofyesteryear. Gone arethe large, unsightlyhearing aids of thepast. “It used to bethat appearance wasa big reason peoplerefused to get a hear-ing aid,” Cox says.But now, many ofthem fit into the earcanal so no one elseknows you are wear-ing one.”

Even more impor-tant, many of today’sdigital hearing aidsare designed to ad-just automatically toyour environment. Amodern hearing aidmay be able, for ex-ample, to perform dif-ferently in an intimate,one-to-one conversa-tion than it does whenyou are in a group orin other situationswhere there is signifi-cant background

noise.

CHOOSING THERIGHT DEVICEFOR YOU

Hearing aids vary intheir performance andcost, and to help thepatient choose theone that is right forhim or her, Cox firstasks about lifestyleand habits. “Someonewho mostly stays athome may want a dif-ferent device thansomeone who has avery active lifestyle,”he notes.

Fitting the hearingaid correctly and thenmaking sure it is serv-ing the patient in thebest possible way re-quires time and fol-low-up. “It’s not just a

matter of putting inthe hearing aid andsending the personout the door,” Coxsays. “Much of whatwe do is counseling,and helping the pa-tient get used to thedevice.”

RETRAINING THEBRAIN

When a person be-gins to lose his or herhearing, the brainstarts to forget whatparticular sounds arelike, Cox explains.“Then when you get ahearing aid, you arerewiring the brain so itrelearns thosesounds,” he says.“But because you’reno longer used to thesounds, adjusting to

them again may be avery gradualprocess.”After an initial fitting,an average patient islikely to have a returnvisit scheduled in oneweek to see how thedevice is performingand how he or she isadjusting. The nextfollow-up might betwo weeks beyondthat. “But someoneelse might need tocome back the nextday after the first fit-ting,” Cox says. “Wedo whatever the per-son requires to makethe process easy andworry-free.”

Success with ahearing aid can, infact, depend on therapport a patient es-

tablishes with thehearing professional.“It’s similar to whenyou go to your doctorfor treatment,” Coxsays. “If he or shedoesn’t treat you rightor doesn’t make youfeel valued, you’re notlikely to want to goback again.”

EARLY INTERVENTION ISIMPORTANT

It is important totreat hearing loss asearly as possible.“People sometimessay, ‘well, I’m not deafyet, so I don’t need todo anything,’” Coxsays. “But when youbegin to lose yourhearing, it can seri-ously reduce yourability to communi-cate with peoplearound you. You maystill hear some ofwhat’s being said, butyou’re missing bitsand pieces. The brainis quick to try to sortthings out, but it startsto guess at things,and as that happensmore and more, it canmake mistakes.”

The individual maybecome withdrawn oreven reclusive. “It’snot unusual for some-one with hearing lossto become depressedand anxious, and tohave feelings of isola-tion,” Cox says.“Sometimes, he orshe may even de-

velop symptoms simi-lar to those ofAlzheimer’s and maybe misdiagnosed.”

INDIVIDUALIZEDCARE AT

AFFORDABLEWhen you visit Af-

fordable HearingAids, you will receiveindividualized, cus-tomized care that willhelp you choose theright hearing devicefor you. “For us, it’sall about the patient,”Cox says. “Our satis-faction comes fromhelping someonehave better quality oflife and enjoy them-selves more.”Cox has been in thebusiness for 38 years.To get an idea of howthings have changed,consider how digi-tized technology hasimproved devices likeTVs and cameras.Technology has madesimilar advances pos-sible in hearing de-vices. “When Istarted, I couldn’thave imagined thatwhat we can do nowwould ever be possi-ble,” he says. “Itmakes my work fun,because we can re-ally change some-one’s life.”

When personal growth candestabilize a marriage

Q... There is something very odd about mycousin's relationship. Atthe beginning of theirmarriage her husbandwas severely abusing al-cohol. She constantlycomplained about him,while engulfing herself inhis problems. Even so,their marriage was fairlystable. However for thepast 2 yrs., he has madegreat strides, stayingsober & steadily work-ing. Surprisingly, now mycousin seems unhappy as ever. She'salways complaining about everything and any-thing, while focusing on the possibility he mayrelapse. He now has become unhappy, and theirmarriage appears unstable, I know it is a weirdthought, but is it possible their marriage was bet-ter off when he was drinking, and a weaker per-son? MG..., HollywoodA... Actually your thinking is not so weird... Do

you know that strange, icky feeling you maysometimes get when engaging someone a littletoo eager to talk about your problems?... Plus,you always feel worse after speaking with thatperson. Why should you feel this way? After all,they're just thinking of your best interests. Aren'tthey?

The situation you've described is not that un-common, and from the information you've given,a personality disorder, such as dependent per-sonality disorder is suspected here. People withsevere personality disorders have their own spe-cial pathological ways of securing their positionin close & intimate relationships. With the de-pendent personality, the wonderful trait of nurtur-ing and being helpful to others takes a verystrange, sickly turn. (The most severest form isseen in Munchhausen)  A turn wracked with con-flicting intentions and insecure needs. In yourcousin's situation, you suggest her marriage wasmore stable when her husband abused alcohol.I'd suspect she probably spoke to others about itwith a forlorn manner, always expressing hopethat one day her husband will get well... Now,that day has come. Rather than celebrating hispersonal growth, she may consciously or uncon-sciously feel quite lost not having someone tomend... This marriage is now destabilized.

It's probably best not to directly confront yourcousin on these issues. Find a professional; atherapist with a strong background in personalitydisorders. Unfortunately unless her husband re-lapses, she will need to evolve to save her mar-riage. Good luck...Dr Ron

COBRA coverage or dependent coverage to con-sider," Muschler says. "These are good reasons tocontact a Medicare specialist, who can help an-swer the right questions and provide guidance toseniors so they make choices that match their sit-uations."4. Understand how higher income and changes

in your income affect Medicare costs. Higher-in-come beneficiaries pay higher premiums forMedicare Part B and prescription drug coverage.For Part B, the 2013 monthly premium is $104.90for joint filers with income of $170,000 or below($85,000 for single filers). However, the premiumincreases to between $146.90 and $335.70 forthose with incomes above these thresholds. Like-wise, higher-income beneficiaries can expect topay from $11.60 to $66.40 more each month inprescription drug premiums.

The Social Security Administration uses IRSrecords when determining premiums. Social Secu-rity may reduce an individual's income-relatedmonthly premium with verification. "Social Securityhas specific requirements about how you can doc-ument changes in your income when you are re-questing reduced Medicare premiums," Muschlerexplains.5. Review healthcare coverage for your spouse

and dependents to determine how your choicesmay affect their coverage. If you are nearingMedicare eligibility, you can find yourself at acrossroads when it comes to providing healthcarefor your entire family.

Some employers may continue to provide cov-erage to a worker's family, or you may need topurchase COBRA coverage or private coveragefor family members. "One early step is to talk withyour benefits plan administrator to see what op-tions you may have and then plan for your family,"Muschler says.

Seniors turning 65 have seven months duringtheir initial enrollment period to make critical deci-sions. But you can begin evaluating your optionsearlier to be better prepared.

For a free brochure on "Turning 65 andMedicare Enrollment" or for an evaluation ofMedicare options, call an Allsup Medicare

Advisor specialist at (866) 521-7655 or go toMedicare.Allsup.com.

"Turning 65 opens the door to Medicare eligibility,but it brings with it some complex choices," saysPaula Muschler, manager of the Allsup MedicareAdvisor, a personalized Medicare plan selectionservice. "Choices seniors make at this time can im-pact their healthcare costs over the long term andtheir entire family."Muschler offers the following key steps forMedicare first-timers.1. Take a look at your existing group health plan

coverage and think about how it will coordinatewith Medicare. Many people work past age 65. Asa result, Medicare-eligible individuals who havehealth coverage through their employer or theirspouse's employer may be able to wait to enroll inMedicare Part B, which covers outpatient medicalcare. This is not true in every case, however.This option depends on other factors, such as thesize of the employer and how soon you expect toretire after reaching 65. You may want to considerenrolling in Medicare Part A, which includes hospi-tal coverage, even if you defer Part B.2. Consider the options for first-time enrollment,

keeping in mind your current health needs and fi-nancial resources. If you choose traditionalMedicare, you have an average of 31 MedicarePart D prescription drug plans from which tochoose. You can also choose from 10 standardMedigap policies for supplemental coverage, rang-ing from basic to comprehensive coverage. Theprice for these plans also can differ from one com-pany to the next.

Adding to the complexity, Medigap plans are notrequired to accept you after your initial enrollmentperiod. This is one reason first-time choices arecrucial. Seniors evaluating Medicare Advantageplans over traditional Medicare also have an arrayof options - an average of 20 plans, depending onwhere you live. "We've been able to help Allsupcustomers find plans that cost less and match theirspecific healthcare needs," Muschler says.3. Follow Medicare enrollment rules to avoid

costly mistakes. Penalties are in place for deci-sions related to Part B and Part D coverage. Thelate-enrollment penalty is 10 percent for each full12-month period you could have been enrolled inPart B. Likewise, Part D imposes a penalty if yougo for more than 63 days without coverage afterenrolling in Part B.

"Your first-time Medicare plan choices also aremore complicated if you have retirement dates,

"Turning 65 opens the door to Medicare eligibility, but it bringswith it some complex choices," says Paula Muschler, manager ofthe Allsup Medicare Advisor, a personalized Medicare plan selec-tion service. "Choices seniors make at this time can impact theirhealthcare costs over the long term and their entire family."

SUMMER CAMP OPTIONS

Hallandale Beach has manychoices for youngsters this year

(BPT) - Warmer tem-peratures often mean abusier social calendar.So whether you're plan-ning a meal to enjoy alfresco, or whipping up asweet treat for a neigh-borhood block party, it'sa great time of year toexperiment in thekitchen.

But when you're tryingout a new recipe, do youhesitate when it calls forcertain ingredients? TedAllen, television person-ality and cookbook au-thor, suggests makingsimple substitutions inyour cooking and bakingto cut back on added fatand calories and im-prove the nutrition pro-file of favorite dishes.- -

"Whether I'm judgingdishes on TV, or hostinga dinner party for myfamily and friends, tasteis always key for me.That's why I like to use aspread such as I Can'tBelieve It's Not Butter!or Country Crock, bothmade by Unilever, in-stead of butter," saysAllen. "They are madewith a delicious blend ofoils and have a rich, but-tery taste. Spreads are agreat-tasting recipe in-gredient and help mefeel good about the foodI serve to my guests be-cause they have lesssaturated fat and fewercalories than butter."

Allen has created fiveexclusive new recipesusing Unilever spreads -including I Can't BelieveIt's Not Butter! andCountry Crock - whichhave no partially hydro-genated oil and contain0 grams trans fat perserving, making them abetter-for-you recipe in-gredient than butterwithout sacrificing flavor.

Allen also suggestsusing fresh, in-seasoningredients such asfruits, vegetables andherbs in recipes to notonly impress guests, butto serve a better-for-youdish that is fresh and de-licious as well.

"I've created a recipefor a Garlicky ChickenBreast Sandwich withAioli that is just perfectfor warm-weather enter-taining!" says Allen."The flavorful aioli I cre-ated features freshherbs and is topped offwith field greens and aripe slice of tomato - it'sthe perfect al frescodish!"

The best way to dis-cover the rich, butterytaste and versatility ofspreads is to see for

yourself how well theyperform in your recipes.Visit www.itisgoodto-know.com for all ofAllen's exclusive newrecipes, including DutchBaby Pancakes with aTrio of Fresh Berries;Garlicky Chicken BreastSandwich with Aioli;Stuffed Chicken withHerbed Goat Cheeseand Crispy BreadCrumbs; and Coffee-In-fused Chocolate Cup-cakes - with a choice ofpowdered sugar andfruit topping or frostingwith sea-salt - perfectdishes for your warm-weather gatherings.

WARM-WEATHER ENTERTAINING

(ARA) - The Mediter-ranean lifestyle of eatinghealthy foods and get-ting good exercise haswon accolades for im-proving the heart healthof millions of Americans,according to the MayoClinic. But for many, adopting

a healthier lifestyle canbe a huge challenge,especially with every-one's unique bodyshape, personalities,likes and dislikes. A pro-gram that works for oneperson, may not workfor you. The good newsis many healthy activi-ties found in a Mediter-ranean lifestyle can helpyou say "opa" - a Greekexclamation of joy - to abetter you. Chelsie Hightower, the

Emmy-nominated pro-fessional dancer fromthe hit show "Dancingwith the Stars," has puttogether some healthylifestyle tips with aMediterranean flair: * "Make healthy mealchoices. I try to stick toa Mediterranean influ-enced diet that is rich inolive oil, vegetables,fruit, fish and dairy. Ienjoy finding recipes on-line and then tryingthem at home. Old Lon-

don has some greatrecipes on its Facebookpage." * "Give yourself a break.We all need to rechargeour batteries every oncein a while. If you can'ttake a vacation, plan aday or a weekend athome when you canhave a little 'me time' tojust relax and do what-ever makes you happy."

* "Reach for healthysnacks. I keep smartsnack options on handto keep my energy upbetween meals like ahandful of almonds,some Greek yogurt andhoney or a few Old Lon-don Melba Snacks withhummus." * "Go dancing. InGreece, dancing is alarge part of any cele-

bration or gathering. Ilove going dancing withfriends; not only do wehave a great time but Ialso get a workout." * "Healthy living equalshappiness. You don'thave to wait for a spe-cial occasion to plan aget-together. Invitefriends and family overjust because. Askguests to bring a dish,

or set out appetizers likeolives, cheese andMelba Toast for every-one to enjoy. I've foundbeing happy is a bigstep to staying healthy."
