A small, dedicated group of High Pinesneighbors have come together to save,rebuild and restore the distinctive and his-toric native coral rock arches that define

their neighborhood, which lies just east of Red Road andimmediately south of Sunset Drive.

Grassroots organizers, spearheaded by neighbor SusanHeatley, say they’ve undertaken the restoration project tomaintain the integrity and unique charm of their HighPines neighborhood.

While pillars similar to those in High Pines were con-ceived by George Merrick (founder of Coral Gables), theorigin of the High Pines coral arches is not clearly docu-mented. Residents believe the arches predate the 1940s,and may even be much older. “They have endured the testof time, withstood countless hurricanes, aged gracefullyHigh Pines residents are planning to save, rebuild and restore the distinctive and historic native coral rock arch-

es that define their neighborhood; the pillars are presently in various stages of disrepair. Pictured from left: J.T.Rawlins, T.K. Heatley, James Heatley, Austin Matheson, Suzanne Martinson, Elizabeth Smith, Henry Matheson andSusan Heatley are among the project's grassroots organizers.

artists, and to learn more about the merchant’sbusiness or about what a venue has to offer. Theaddition of live music in the past three seasonshas kicked the event up another notch. As partof the “SOMI SIDEWALK SHOWCASE,musicians from South Miami Middle School’sJazz Ensemble regale Art Walk patrons at theShops of Sunset, providing an enjoyable musi-cal interlude.

“I love for the students to have the oppor-tunity to perform for the public, friends, andfamily. They get such a thrill to do so…Wegive to our community, the students have anoutlet to perform and represent ourschool/program, and the parents get to expe-rience the fruits of their labor, said FranciscoWilliams, Music Director.

Other participants in the Showcase are artstudents from the South Miami K-8 ArtsMagnet program. This year will see an increasein the number of participating students.

“The Art Walk is a wonderful opportunity forthe community to learn about the great talentand varied skills students are learning in theirarts classes. It is also gives young artists anavenue to perform and showcase theirwork…and to gain recognition from their fam-ily, friends, and community,” said LaurieRussell, Art Teacher, SM K-8 Magnet program.

Another essential component toSOMIartwalk are the many restaurants thathave joined in the event with an “AfterParty” with special offers from 9 PM to 10PM for Art Walk attendees. This season therestaurants are: Town Kitchen + Bar,MexZican Gourmet, Irish Times, SIP,Barcelonetta and ROK:BRGR. Fox’s willhost a late night party, from 10 PM to 1 AM.

Your Art Walk map will be your pass forthese offers. The maps are available fromAmbassadors who will be walking aroundthe event. They’ll be easy to spot in theirROTC uniforms. They are prepared to directyou where you need to go to enjoy artists,dining, etc. These volunteers, under thesupervision of Col. Eddie Santana, are stu-dents from South Miami Senior High.

The number of participating venues andbusinesses that feature artists have grown eachyear. Among some of the regulars such asSoMi So U Boutique, Isabel’s Fine HomeAccessories, Doc Thomas House at TropicalAudubon, and the First National Bank of SouthMiami, are some of the newest shops such asRespice, Miro’s, and Artifact. Many localartists have successfully shown and sold theirwork during Art Walk evenings, including GailCoachman Alexander (glass), Tom Smith(photography), and Ronald Shelley (paintings).

In addition to community and camaraderie,the other element that makes SOMIartwalksuch a success is John Edward Smith, pub-lisher of SOMI Magazine. His administrative,organizational and marketing talents havemade the event a standout for the community.

“I am pleased with the progress ofSOMIartwalk and the way in which it promotesour Town Center and the many talented peoplein our community. I invite more artists to showtheir work, more businesses and venues to joinin, and more art lovers to indulge in this com-munity-based event,” said John Edward Smith,Chairman of the Steering Committee.

The weekend of Nov. 2 was a busy onewith the South Miami Art Festival as wellas an incredibly big bazaar at Our Lady ofLourdes. With almost 1,000 presold tick-ets for that event, the indoor outdoor char-ity event was a guaranteed success andgained great community support.

Organized by Olga Martinez with lots ofstudent input and hard work, the event hadsomething for everyone. They even had awonderfully creative holiday photo area setup; so, don’t be surprised if you receiveChristmas cards that have a similar back-ground setting. This is certainly an event toput on your calendar every year.

Thousands gathered early on Saturday,Oct. 26, for the American HeartAssociation’s Annual Heart Walk atMarlins Park. With picture perfect weath-er, the crowd enjoyed visiting vendor

tables, consuming healthy snacks includ-ing some great Del Monte fruit, and a funprogram announcing top fundraisers andmore. Ongoing music also added to a spir-ited morning of exercise and fun. Asalways, Miami’s Community Newspaperswas on hand to support AHA and thosewhose lives have been saved because ofthe efforts of this organization. Amongthose spotted in the crowd were Billy theMarlin who enjoyed posing for photos witheveryone; Coral Gables Hospital’s MariaGidley with her new baby out for his firstHeart Walk; Gulliver School’s Debi Moorewho walked on the GFWC Coral GablesWoman’s Club team. Also volunteeringfor that team was veteran Heart Walk par-ticipant Norris Perez and her family whocame down from Broward County. Somemay remember that Norris’ husband, apolice officer, suffered a stroke years agoand was given little hope for a full recov-ery. He proved everyone wrong and isback to work and is most supportive ofAHA and its mission.

On the club scene, the Rotary Clubs ofSouth Dade orchestrated a fundraiser atSplitsville Luxury Lanes on Sunset onWed., Nov. 6. The event kicked off RotaryInternational Foundation month; thus, aportion of the proceeds will benefit RIFoundation. Look for more on this in ournext issue.

The Woman’s Cancer Association of theUniversity of Miami Bush Chapter promis-es another great event with the FabulousFashions of “The Second Time Around”Luncheon, Wednesday, November 13th,2013, at the Courtyard Marriott, 2051LeJeune Road, Coral Gables, Florida.Proceeds benefit cancer research atSylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.This fun filled affair begins with aBoutique at 10 a.m., lunch at 11:30 a.m.and the fashion show at 12:30 p.m.Former TV weatherman and friend, BobSoper, has graciously agreed to emcee andhandle the auctioneering duties he does sowell. Tickets are $50 per person/ cash bar.For reservations call JoAnn Cappelletti,305 235-6453.

Look for great items early in the affair’sBoutique opened from 10 - 11:30 a.m.,with a selection of beautiful jewelry andhousehold items, some new and othersgently used. Those items were donated tothe Bargain Box, 1350 West Flagler St,Miami, a thrift shop operated by the WCABush Chapter and run mostly by volun-teers. Last year the WCA of the Universityof Miami (there are three chapters, Bush inthe Coral Gables area, Barton Ravlin in thePinecrest area, and Heidi Hewes in MiamiShores), awarded $195,000 for cancerresearch grants at UM and Sylvester

Comprehensive Cancer Center. This eventis great fun and one you will not want tomiss.

Hands On Miami, one of the many agen-cies that was impacted by the economicdowntown was re-launched the morning ofNovember 2, at Vizcaya Gardens, PatMorris, a fellow Rotarian and one of thefounders of the organization in 1994, gath-ered former supporters, volunteers andcivic leaders for this momentous and excit-ing rebirth.

envision has a guy that has run so manymarathons.

It really says a lot about desire and com-mitment and its so clear that one shouldn’t letthose little challenges in life get in the way ofdoing what you want to do.

Josh shares his passion for running withscores of healthy runners and walkers over atFootWorks on Sunset Drive, where he leads

the marathon training trainer classes. Ifyou’ve ever thought about really getting intoshape or running a marathon, then think nomore about it. Just do it! Your plan is alreadythere just ask for it. Just go on over toFootWorks and you’ll be on your way.

And if you think that’s too much to doright now, there are also classes for walkersand training for half marathons.

To find out more you go to footworksmia-mi.com or call 305-667-9322.

A few weeks ago, thousands came over toSunset Drive and enjoy Safe StreetsHalloween. Lots of fun for the kids and par-ents, too. There are some photos on page 4for your enjoyment. Many thanks to HenryGuzman who provided the photos to us.

And this past weekend the South MiamiArt Festival which is produced by ChamberSouth attracted many many thousands ofpeople to the City of Pleasant Living. Some120 artist booths were there and filled theimagination with very creative work, fromjewelry, ceramics, digital art, glass and metalwork, great photography and lots more.Clearly, this helps put South Miami on themap. I tip my hat to Chamber South and tothe hundreds of creative souls that put on agreat event.

The city finally, after 45 years or so, yup

45 years, finally broke ground on the cityswimming pool, which is being build atMurray Park, you know, that’s where the citygym is located as well as Baptist Hospitals’Children’s Center, Golly I just help but giveBaptist some ink.

Anyway, the city has come along way,albeit it took a long time. It wasn’t too manyyears ago that a sitting commissioner said“Those people over there only need a hoseand a shovel.” Gee guys, back then it sound-ed a bit racist, don’t ya think?

Baptist Health community numbers forthe year, show $291 million in charity careand community service, up from $222 mil-lion a couple of years ago Baptist HealthSouth Florida, the largest private organizationin South Florida and employs over 15,000employees is in the spotlight this week. Thefaith-based not-for-profit founded in 1960 hashealth facilities in Broward, Miami-Dade andMonroe Counties and has a major componentof expenses when it comes to charity and nonecompensated healthcare costs, over twicewhat the federal tax break provides BaptistHealth, as a non-profit institution. BaptistHealth has seven hospitals, and more than 30medical plazas and urgent care and outpatientfacilities in the region and the $4 billionorganization gave $291 million in charity careand community service state Baptist Healthdocuments (and that is up from $222 million afew years ago). Moreover, some 24,000patients received charity care in the past year.In addition, the hospital system’s internationalprogram draws some 12,000 patients in thecourse of the year.

The healthcare system has more than 2,200physicians and the Baptist Health MedicalGroup is the home to more than 140 physi-cians from cardiac surgeons and hospitaliststo robotic specialists, sports medicine special-ists and neurosurgeons. And the health sys-tem in 2014 will begin construction of a state-of-the-art Cancer Institute and a new $200million hospital in West Kendall is a teachingaffiliate with Florida InternationalUniversity’s Herbert Wertheim College ofMedicine. The organization self-insures itsbuildings and facilities after finding govern-ment was slow to respond to the extensive

damage Baptist Health hospitals receivedafter Hurricane Andrew in 1992. And thefacilities are now hardened to sustain hurri-can force winds with minimal damage. Andwhen it comes to the employee handbook, it’scalled The Body.

The manual gives a strong dose of preven-tative healthcare, ways to stay healthy throughgood nutrition and exercise and talks abouthow to live a healthy, generally good medicalhealth life for many of the employees throughpreventative care.

Further, Baptist Health originally startedwith only one hospital, its flagship onKendall Drive, a road in 1960 when Baptistwas founded with the nickname the “Roadto no where.” And the area was just begin-ning to be developed into the sprawlingcommunity of homes and rentals it is today,with roughly some 450,000 people in theKendall area alone. Further, “Living withinour means,” was a Baptist Health cost sav-ing policy initiated with the rise in health-care costs and charity care and this proactivemanagement philosophy has allowed thehealth system to expand the system withmodern facilities, but also over the decade tohave put in $1 billion into the system’sreserves. And next to the public JacksonHealth System that gets some $350 millionof public money for uncompensated care,Baptist is the second largest provider ofcharity care in Miami-Dade.

EDITOR’S NOTE: My life was saved inFebruary 2010 during an emergency 4:00a.m. surgery at South Miami Hospital, afacility owned by Baptist Health SouthFlorida. And I can never thank vascular sur-geon Jorge Rabaza, M.D. and the great med-ical staff during this challenging time, thatRabaza considered a “flip of the coin,” whenit came to saving my life at the time of theemergency surgery.

Lately, I’ve heard alot about chin implants.I’ve always thought mychin was small, and nowsince there’s been all ofthis excitement aboutthe chin, I’d like toknow my options and

what you recommend.Chin implants have been around for a

long time. I have seen many variations onsizes, types of material used and themethod of introducing the implants to thechin area.

First, let’s start with the surgery method.Chin implant surgery may be done with localanesthesia, which means that the area isdirectly injected and becomes numb, or withgeneral anesthesia. The incision to place theimplant is performed either on the inside ofthe mouth or just under the chin. The implantmay be secured to the bone with a suture, asmall metal plate or simply inserted into asmall “pocket” to keep it in place.

Chin implants can be made of differentmaterials. They include silicone, rubber-likematerials and bone. The bone may be yourown bone or bone from a cadaver donor. Ifit’s your own bone, it may come from yourhip or your own jaw – in which case it’smoved forward and secured with smallmetal plates.

Chin implants vary in size and shape,depending on the patient’s needs andwants, and of course, your physician’sexpert recommendation.

There are other procedures that may be

performed at the same time as chin aug-mentation surgery that would improve thecosmetic results. Neck liposuctionimproves the jaw line and often enhancesthe overall result of a chin augmentation.In addition, a rhinoplasty (nose job) isoften accompanied with a chin implant.

This is one of those “what came first,the chicken or the egg?” questions.Improving the chin often makes a badnose look good, while improving the nosemakes a bad chin look good.

As in life, there is always the good withthe bad. Chin surgery has risks, like allsurgeries do. Risks of chin implant surgeryinclude infection, rejection of the implant,malposition and nerve injury. Nerveinjuries include loss of sensation, persist-ent pain and on rare occurrence, loss ofmovement in the lower lip. While thesecomplications are rare, they do occur.

When picking your physician, youshould pick a facial plastic surgeon, plas-tic surgeon, otolaryngologist (ear, noseand throat doctor) or oral surgeon for yoursurgery. Make sure that your physiciandiscusses your expectations, shows youpictures of his or her patients before andafter surgery and discusses your risks andbenefits before your sign up.

I find that chin augmentation surgery isa very rewarding procedure for mypatients – once they are well informed.Good luck!

My friend and I are conflicted on thesubject of dental implants. I say they arenothing new but he insists otherwise. Canyou settle this debate?

Dental implants of some sort (as weknow of them today) have been around forthousands of years.

Every society had their own ways ofdealing with people who had lost teeth.The ancient Egyptians placed woodenplugs in the toothless site. When anEskimo aged and eating became difficultbecause the teeth were worn down due totheir blubber diet, a child with baby teethwould chew the food for them.

Let us keep in mind the importance ofteeth and the medical consequences if theyare lost and not

replaced - digestion is effected; nutritionis lost; your health may be compromised.

From early development of the dentalimplant fixture to present day and futureadvancements, the size, shape, materials,surface and coatings are and will continueto evolve; stainless steel to carbon to cur-rent titanium-the progression is steady andthe results are outstanding and successfulwith each new invented technology. Evensurgeons revise how, when and where thefixtures are placed. We embrace this excit-ing science and have for the past 25 yearssince we performed our first dental implant

procedure. When a patient is happy, we arehappy. My bet is we all win!

Which is better ~ a manual or electrictoothbrush?

I like this question a lot! I am going totry to be as neutral as possible and anyvagueness will be your guide to what is theright answer for YOU!

We always look to the professionals inthe dental office-the doctor and the hygien-ist for answers. Both would agree when amanual toothbrush is used, the focus is ontooth surface (front, back) therefore moretime is spent on the motion; an electricdevice seems to encompass moving thewand across a span of area. I think it is alsogenerational - older patients feel as thoughthey do not have control of the electricbrush (partials, dentures may inhibit propertechnique) and is not as effective as a man-ual brush. Younger people in braces shoulduse an electric brush as it gets into thecracks and crevices of the bands and wires.

Both doctor and hygienist agree flossingis vitally important and should be incorpo-rated into your daily routine (2 x day) of oralhygiene as tooth decay and gum diseaseusually starts between teeth. It is importantthe bristles of the brush be soft, a circularmotion applied to the teeth and gums whenbrushing, no abrasive paste or adhesives andthe brush replaced every 6 months.

and are significant reminders of all that is spe-cial about our neighborhood," Heatley said.

Yet the decades have also taken their toll.The North arch on 54th Avenue & SunsetDrive requires reconstruction, and the Eastand West arches at School House Road &76th Street and Red Road & 76th Street,respectively, need upkeep repairs due tocrumbling mortar.

The restoration organizers, who, in additionto Heatley, include her husband, TK, and son,James, neighbors Keith Donner, LouiseGardner Schwartz, Lisille Matheson, GeorgePrendes, Elizabeth Smith and a handful ofothers, are grateful to count architect SuzanneMartinson among their number. Martinsonvolunteered to draw up the necessary plansand obtain estimates from expert masons.Prices to complete the project are expected tofall in the $9,000 range, a sum that the “ArchAngels” are hoping to raise through contribu-tions from as many neighbors as possible.With about 400 single-family residences inthe area, organizers calculated that if everyHigh Pines household contributed just $20 tothis collective effort, the projected costs willnearly be covered. The door-to-door fundrais-ing campaign launched in October hasalready yielded more than $5,000, and organ-izers say donations continue to trickle in.

A dedicated account was established to man-age and dispense the repair funds. Contributionchecks should be made payable to “High PinesArches, Inc.” and submitted c/o TK Heatley,EWM, 550 South Dixie Hwy., Coral Gables,FL 33146.

The arches restoration awareness cam-paign was launched on September 27th at aHigh Pines Open House hosted by TropicalAudubon Society at its historic Doc ThomasHouse, located on Sunset Drive. TAS direc-tor Laura Reynolds noted, “Because westeward a treasured piece of Old Florida his-tory and native habitat right here in SouthMiami, it made sense to invite our HighPines neighbors to gather here and help fos-ter their community effort.”

Recognizing a need, seeking a solution andpulling together to accomplish the goal is anexample of how this close-knit pocket neigh-borhood nurtures its old-fashioned sense ofcommunity. “It doesn’t take a hurricane to getus outdoors,” Elizabeth Smith said. “We knowour neighbors; we walk and talk and help eachother year-round; kids still play outdoors here,too. It’s really just a wonderful place to live.”

Anyone interested in helping restore thecoral arches to their historic role as High Pinessentinels should contact Susan Heatley 786-348-6522 or James Heatley 305-962-4689.

State Farm presented a $31,240 check to theParks Foundation of Miami-Dade and studentsat Terra Environmental Research Institute inKendall that will help pay for a new beetle-rearing laboratory at the school to be used forthe Bio-control of the Air Potato Vine projectthat will be run by the students. The checkpresentation took place on Tuesday, Oct. 29,12:30 p.m., at the site of the new laboratory.

The bio-control method will consist of therearing of the air potato leaf beetle, its scien-tific name being Lilioceris cheni (Lili), byTerra students and their subsequent releaseinto Kendall Indian Hammocks Park, aMiami-Dade County park with more than 50acres of “hammock” forest besieged by theinvasive exotic air potato vine.

The “Lili” beetle is native to China, India,Nepal, Laos and Thailand and first wasreleased in Florida in 2012 by USDA for bio-logical control of the air potato. The USDA,Agricultural Research Service, Invasive PlantResearch Laboratory (USDA) in FortLauderdale is providing the “Adam” and“Eve” initial starter beetles that will be rearedin the Terra laboratory and later released intothe park under NAM and USDA supervision.

In addition, Terra will be the only highschool in Florida supplying the “Lili” beetleto other agencies for use where the air potatoalso is taking over native vegetation.

The Terra classroom laboratory is sched-uled for completion by end of the year atwhich time a dedication ceremony will beplanned, followed by a beetle release cere-mony in spring/summer of 2014.

“This partnership will allow my studentsto engage firsthand in a very importantaspect of the conservation and managementof our natural areas, which is the use of bio-logical controls in order to mitigate theeffects of an invasive species,” said AlexSalcedo, Conservation Biology teacher incharge of the bio-control project

“State Farm supports service-learningbecause it integrates service to the communityinto classroom curriculum using a hands-onapproach to mastering subject material whilefostering civic responsibility,” said Jose Soto,State Farm community specialist in Miami.“The State Farm Youth Advisory Board is aprime example of State Farm’s commitmentto education, our community and our youth.”

The air potato is a serious threat to SouthFlorida’s environment, growing vines that are30 to 40 feet long, stifling native plants anddestroying landscaping and impacting thenatural eco-system. In South Florida theyhave been found in various communities inMiami-Dade County including Kendall,Coral Gables, Village of Palmetto Bay,Homestead, South Miami, Florida City,Miami Gardens, North Miami Beach andunincorporated areas of Miami-Dade County.

Long-standing partners for more than 15years, the USDA and NAM began this jointventure to discover a safe and successfulmethod for eradicating the exotic vine in2011, when the USDA requested NAM’shelp to provide a controlled living preservein which to test the impact of the “Lili” bee-tle on air potato. In November 2011, the firsttest-release of the beetles to combat the plant

took place, and again in April 2013 with theassistance of Terra students.

Results from these releases are evidentalready at the test sites, with leaves andwhole plants clearly showing the effectsfrom of the beetles. In those areas, the leaveslook like lace patterns and many of the bul-bils also have been affected, slowing thereproduction of the plant.

Lt. Scott Mullin immediately jumped toaction after receiving the call that ParkRanger Anthony (Tony) Terry had been bit-ten by an Eastern DiamondbackRattlesnake. Terry was bitten on his lefthand while attempting to remove the rat-tlesnake from his home located inEverglades National Park.

Mullin is with the Miami-Dade FireRescue Department’s (MDFR) VenomResponse Team. Terry was about 130 milesinto the park, so the fastest way to him wasby helicopter.

Mullin coordinated Terry’s transport viaMDFR Air Rescue to Baptist Health’sHomestead Hospital. He traveled with AirRescue, carrying the antivenin

, to Everglades National Park and thenon to the hospital where he oversaw the

administration of the first dose of antiveninwithin one hour of the 9-1-1 call. A total of28 vials of antivenin were used to reversethe effects of the toxin.

“Our Venom Response Team almost gotcut during the last budget hearings,” Mullinsaid. “Tony could have died or lost his armif we hadn’t been able to immediatelyrespond to the call on a Saturday (Sept.28),” Mullin said. “It is important for thepublic to know that our Venom ResponseTeam is here to protect our community, fre-quently saving people’s lives and educatingpeople in South Florida.”

According to Mullin, most snakebites inSouth Florida happen on the weekendswhen people are out and about enjoying thegreat outdoors. The Eastern DiamondbackRattlesnake is native to South Florida andother areas in the United States and has thereputation of being the most dangerous

venomous snake in North America. A doseof 100 mgs of its venom is lethal to humanswithin two hours. A single bite can injectup to 800 mgs of venom, which causes tis-sue death and disables the body’s ability toclot causing the person to bleed to death.

Park Ranger Terry was treated in theICU at Homestead Hospital and wasexpected to make a full recovery.

The MDFR Venom Response Programspecializes in the response, management,and treatment of envenomations. The pro-gram provides ongoing education, training

and awareness of the many dangerous andvenomous species native to, or importedinto the United States and promotes inter-operability and communication betweennumerous agencies, municipalities, health-care providers and poison control centers.

The Venom Response Team currentlymaintains the largest and only antivenombank for public use in the United States.The team employs the latest techniques toprevent death through antivenin interven-tion 24 hours a day, seven days a week,locally, nationally, and internationally.

You can get some great things secondhand(furniture, cars, high-end fashion), but sec-ondhand smoke is not one of them.Secondhand smoke — smoke released fromthe burning end of a cigarette and exhaled bya smoker — contains at least 250 toxic orcancer-causing chemicals, and breathingeven small amounts for a short period of timecan adversely affect your health.

Brief exposure can cause your bloodplatelets to stick to together, damage the lin-ing of your blood vessels, and potentiallyincrease your risk of having a heart attack.Breathing secondhand smoke ultimately canlead to heart disease, stroke and lung cancer.Each year about 3,400 nonsmoking men andwomen die from lung cancer and around46,000 die from heart disease caused by

breathing secondhand smoke.While smokers can lower their risk of

developing lung cancer and other diseases byquitting smoking, nonsmokers should limittheir exposure to secondhand smoke byfocusing on four key areas: home, work,public places, and the car. Of course, when itcomes to limiting your exposure to second-hand smoke, you have the most control inyour home and car. Make them smoke-freezones, and don’t be tempted by ineffectivealternatives like smoking with a windowrolled down or smoking in a different roomof the house.

Generally, you can’t control the smokingpolicies at public restaurants and businesses,but you can choose which places you patron-ize. Choose smoke-free venues. Alternativeslike nonsmoking sections do not eliminateyour exposure to secondhand smoke — even

if you can’t smell smoke. You also caninform business owners about the hazards ofsecondhand smoke and encourage them toimplement nonsmoking policies.

Unfortunately, the place where you likelyspend a great deal of your day — work —may be one of the most difficult places tocontrol your exposure to secondhand smoke.According to a U.S. Surgeon General’sreport, having nonsmoking policies in theworkplace is the only effective way to elimi-nate exposure; simply cleaning the air andventilating the building is insufficient.

Communities nationwide have enacted

smoke-free workplace laws to protect work-

ers from the hazards of secondhand smoke.

To learn more about the hazards of second-

hand smoke and how to prevent exposure,

In April, little Daria Rozhkova of Russia’sRyazanskaya region and her family werefresh out of hope.

Diagnosed with Lynch syndrome, a genet-ic disorder that increases the risk of colorec-tal cancer, the child had undergone numeroussurgeries and chemotherapy treatmentsaimed at curbing cancerous growths in hercolon. Yet, after each exhaustive interven-tion, the cancer would return.

Finally, the Russian doctors advised theycould offer no hope that additional treatmentwould improve the child’s outlook and thatDaria, 12, likely had but six months to live.

Fortunately, hope is a commodity in whichMiami Children’s Hospital (MCH) special-izes. And thanks to a novel procedure and thecollaboration of a 50-member multi-special-ty care team of doctors and nurses at MCH,Daria and her family recently returned hometo their native country with a big smile, abright future, and memories of new friend-ships forged at the famed children’s hospital.

“Daria is a brave little girl with a familywho would not give up on her,” said Dr.

Andrea Maggioni, medical director ofGlobal Health at Miami Children’s, whocoordinated the MCH care team includingsurgeons, pediatric subspecialists, nurses andthe Pediatric Intensive Care Unit staff.

“The teamwork has been amazing and ithas been our privilege to provide this familywith the next generation of treatment.”

On Sept. 18, a surgical team led by Dr. CathyBurnweit, chief of Pediatric Surgery at MCH,performed a marathon 19-hour hyperthermicintraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) or“heated chemotherapy” procedure that only hasbeen used for pediatric patients at a handful ofcenters within the U.S. Miami Children’sbecame the second hospital in the country tooffer the pediatric procedure in 2011.

After removing the cancerous tissue, Dr.Burnweit and her team introduced heatedchemotherapy directly into the child’sabdomen. This treatment helps destroy tinycancer cells that may linger following tumorremoval and inhibit re-growth.

“Daria has made a remarkable recoveryafter a challenging treatment. Our hopes arehigh that this intervention will offer her ahealthy future,” Dr. Burnweit said.

We often take our health for granted –until something happens to us or a lovedone. That’s when we realize the impor-tance of good health. When we are in poorhealth, every aspect of our lives becomesmore difficult. Pleasetake a moment to consid-er what you can do toprotect your health.

More than beingthankful for our health,we are also so thankfulfor our loved ones. Witha strong connection toothers, we can enjoy abetter quality of life. Wehave so many blessings,and although we all havestruggles and obstaclesas well, staying positiveand hopeful is the bestway to overcome them.

At this time of theyear, many of us worryabout weight gain. Somany of our holiday tra-ditions and gatheringsare centered on food. Wewant to enjoy all of thefestivities with our fami-lies and friends, but those extra caloriescan add up. Unfortunately, the averageAmerican gains five pounds betweenThanksgiving and New Year’s! Fivepounds of fat equals 17,500 calories.That’s a lot of calories that you have toburn off later in order to reverse that holi-day weight gain! Instead, try to avoid gain-ing weight altogether. You can do this byadding in some extra exercise and makingbetter food choices. Here are the top waysto avoid holiday weight gain:

Stick to your workouts, no matterwhat! Even if it means getting up earlier inthe morning to fit in some extra cardio, getit done. These are busy times. Prioritizeyour workouts just like you would anyother important appointment.

Eat protein. Protein is the best way tostabilize your blood sugar, prevent hungerpangs and avoid fat storage. Protein makesyou feel fuller, longer and ensures that you

don’t fall into the “hunger pang — I’ll eatanything” trap.

Limit alcohol. Alcohol contains emptycalories and even more importantly itslows down fat burning. As I explain in mybook, Eat More to Lose More, alcoholmust be metabolized by the liver, immedi-ately. While your liver is busy dealing withthe alcohol, other metabolic processes arehalted. At parties, limit yourself to onedrink and sip slowly. Wine is the bestchoice. Mixed drinks made with sugarymixers or fruit juices are the worst.

Plan your food andkeep a food diary. Ifyou know you will behaving a slice of thepecan pie, include it inyour calorie count andkeep the serving size rea-sonable. Don’t kid your-self! Instead, plan for theoccasional treat by work-ing out a little extra oreating super clean thenext day.

Don’t go to partieshungry. Eat a small,healthy snack at homebefore going out to avoidovereating at parties.Never, ever starve your-self all day because youknow you will be goingto a party that is servingfood. Instead, make sureto eat light, small mealsthroughout the day to

prevent overeating unhealthy party foodlater.

Carry a snack when you run errandsor shop. Inevitably, you will get hungrywhile you are out running errands. Gettingthings done during the holidays takelonger than usual, as traffic gets hectic andmalls fill to the brim. Carry a healthysnack with you to avoid having to buysomething you don’t want to eat, or worseyet, not eat at all, thereby stimulating fatstorage.

Enjoy the wonderful holiday season andstay focused, healthy and strong. If youenjoyed this message from me, please signup for my new weekly newsletter at<www.EatMoreToLoseMore.com>.

Billy, as he is known, is a 26-year-old entrepreneur who grew up inBoone, NC, returning with his par-ent’s to Miami when he was 10 yearsold. He is a graduate of WestminsterChristian School and is now follow-ing in his father’s footsteps. WilliamGarner Sr. also was in the retail busi-ness for 30 years, running a neighbor-

A new Subway shop has opened up at theintersection of SW 168th Street and Old CutlerRoad.

The store, which opened Oct. 30, is ownedand operated by lifelong Miami residentsEnrique Fernandez, his wife, Elsie, and herdaughter, Karina Mirabal. It is the first of whatthey hope will be many future restaurants.

“This site is very unique because there aren’ta lot of places around here to eat; either you haveto go to S. Dixie Highway or into Cutler Bay,”Enrique said. “We were very lucky to get thislocation and I think we’ll do very well here.”

Subway is a family tradition for them. Elsie’sfather opened his first franchise in 1987 on NW36th Street. He since has opened four morestores, winning several company awards in theprocess, all while making it a priority to involveall six of his grandchildren in his business.

“Just like my dad built his franchise and nowall his grandchildren are a part of it, we want todo the same thing,” Elsie said. “We have fivekids between the both of us and one grandchildso far, and we always look towards them whenwe think about wanting to expand from there,for them and for their children.”

Not just anyone can open his or her ownSubway as the company requires their fran-chisees to go through extensive training before

being allowed to run a store. Karina, a thirdgrade teacher, has completed the course and willtake a leave of absence to manage the restau-rant. While there, she will be subject to numer-ous intra-company monthly inspections bySubway headquarters to make sure everythingis exactly on par with their standards. “EatFresh” is not just a catchy marketing tagline —the shelf life for every item is three days tops.

“It’s the biggest franchise there is right now— bigger than McDonalds, believe it or not —and this year they’ve had the best year in sales,which is good news considering the economy,”Enrique said. “It’s also very healthy, which isgreat for young people, especially young peoplein sports.”

Youth baseball has been a big part ofEnrique’s life since he became involved 25years ago when his son was 5 and he started theSouth Florida Travel Baseball League. He sincehas run parks, leagues and tournaments. He metElsie, who has been involved in special educa-tion programs for 20 years, while serving as ath-letic director at the Boys and Girls Club. He alsotook part in an inner city baseball revival pro-gram sponsored by the Florida Marlins and hasdonated his time as a coach at both Killian HighSchool and Gulliver Academy.

Currently, he owns and operates MiamiInternational Baseball, which brings interna-tional baseball players to Miami, gives them

room, board and training, and finds colleges forthem.

He, Elsie and Karina all see Subway as agreat opportunity to continue their positiveinvolvement in South Florida, giving discountsto city employees, students from the surround-ing areas and through involvement with neigh-borhood athletics.

“I know a lot of people in the communityinvolved in sports and I plan on helping a lot ofthe youth programs around here,” he said. “I’mgoing to focus on some of the parks and schooland see what we can do together.”

Subway is located at 16707 Old Cutler Rd.For more information, call 305-253-2221 orvisit <www.subway.com>.

Paying for what you valueThe County’s new fiscal year began on Oct. 1, but

getting there wasn’t easy. On one hand, taxpayerswere calling on their elected leaders to provideeconomic relief by keeping the property tax ratesflat. On the other hand, doing so would mean plac-ing services provided by police, fire rescue, thelibrary system and the animal shelter in financialdifficulty. Tough choices had to be made and in theend, while not every service emerged completelyunscathed, essential services remain secure—atleast for the time being.

But the future of Miami-Dade County’s PublicLibrary System, as well as the thousands of cats indogs in the care of Animal Services Departmentremains uncertain.

It’s been said that we most value that which wepay for through charitable contributions. It’s howwe stand behind the causes we believe in. So inthat spirit, Miami-Dade County is establishing atrust fund to allow the public to make voluntarycontributions toward the county services that mat-ter most to them. Through this trust, you and otherlike-minded citizens will be able to pool yourresources and direct them exactly where youbelieve they’re needed most.

Over the next few weeks, property tax bills will bemailed to nearly a million households and busi-nesses. A postage-paid envelope will be enclosed,making it convenient for concerned citizens tomake a voluntary monetary donation over andabove their property tax payment.

Whether you choose to provide additional sup-port to animal services, the library system, thepolice or fire rescue, your donation will help ensurethat the services you care about will continue to beprovided. Keep in mind that these donations aretax deductible and will help meet pressing commu-nity needs. Be sure to consult your tax advisor withany specific questions regarding your deduction.

Help keep your com-munity moving forwardand give a little some-thing back.

Wherefore Art Thou, Jane? (WoodRockHouse, 2013, softcover, 176 pages, $14.95)recently took first place honors in theReaders Favorite International Awards. ThisFlorida-based mystery will be on displayNov. 22-24 at the Readers Favorite boothduring the Miami Book Fair International.

One might compare this first novel of the Pate& Faircloth series to a contemporary IndianaJones — full of suspense and adventure, withsnakes and romance showing up in the most sur-prising places. Jane Pate’s romp through swampsand wilderness situations proves that offbeatinvestigational styles can achieve results and thatmystery, adventure, humor, and romance cancredibly inhabit the same story.

The two, native-Floridian authors, JeanJames and Mary James, also will attend theReaders Favorite award ceremony on Nov.23 at the Regency Hotel Miami.

Mary, aka Mean Mary, who tours exten-sively as a vocalist and instrumentalist, willappear in concert at the Lighthouse Cafe,11715 SW 87 Ave., on Nov. 16. There will bea book signing at this event. Mary will beinterviewed on the Michael Stock radio show(Folk and Acoustic Music with Michael

Stock@WLRN 91.5FM, 2-4 p.m.) where shewill talk about her newest novel and give alive music presentation on Nov. 17.
