Linda Nugent, our neighbor, has put numerous hours into
making sure that Imperial Point received our fair share of
funds awarded by the City for “Green Your Routine” which is
our recycling initiative. This is a big job and we so appreciate
what she has accomplished. This year she raised $1699.65
which all goes back into improvement of our community.

Your Choice, My Mission – let’s Get Started
Soccer-Specific Fitness and Training
As a lifelong athlete and elite level soccer player, fitness is
an integral part of who I am. I am a certified strength and
conditioning specialist, a personal trainer, based at The Fitness
Clinic in the Imperial Square Shopping Plaza. I work with my
personal clients daily, helping them to achieve their individual
goals to become the best possible versions of themselves.
In athletics, it is of the utmost importance to have a comprehensive training
program which not only includes the elements of cardiovascular conditioning,
strength training, plyometrics, flexibility, and balance, but the creative skill to
combine the best elements of each for a sport-specific outcome, and I pride
myself on expanding my training knowledge and acumen to help others develop
the way I trained myself. It is my passion for athletics and fitness which compels
me to want to help young people on their journey to becoming better athletes
on and off the field, and my commitment to hard work in academics as well.
I can help the elite soccer athlete seeking sport-specific training, and the
aspiring athlete seeking to become elite. I have the creativity to help them
leave a plateau or break a barrier and perform at their highest levels.
When can we meet to talk soccer and training?

President’s Message
THE IMPERIAL POINT ENTRANCEWAY
IMPROVEMENT TEAM
Dear Neighbors,
Another year and lots of activities in our Neighborhood. My wish is that more of you get involved in 2015 and help us
with your ideas of more that can be accomplished.
I hope you have noticed our Habitat Gardens in the Entranceway on Federal Highway and Imperial Point Drive. We have
applied for our official certification from the National Wildlife Federation. We should have the signs up soon. A big thank
you to Paramount Concrete who helped us with the Bird Baths, the City Parks Department, Father and Sons Sprinklers
and all the volunteers who did the planting. The Butterflies came immediately as we were planting and have remained.
What a sight to see if you sit on my Bench.
Fall Harvest Picnic was another big success with new restaurants and more entertainment. If you weren’t there, you
missed a great event in our newly renovated Park.
Winter in the Park is December 12th from 6:30-8:30, note the time change. Again, some different entertainment and the
ride on the horse drawn wagon around the Park. We invite you to decorate your houses in this area and win the prize
for the best decorated home on the route.
Don’t forget the Little Free Library in the Park. You Got Books? Donate your already read books for someone else to
enjoy. Leave one, take one, donate many. This is a good addition to our Park.
You will find your Membership Card in a self addressed envelope in this edition. Membership begins in January, you can
also pay by pay pal on our web site. Let’s have a good membership Year.
Our General meeting is January 12th at 7:00 PM at Broward Health Imperial Point. Come join us for a Pizza Party and
hear plans for the New Year. It is also time for election of officers, so if you would like to join the Board, please call Sue
Fuhr,954-776-6770. We will again invite our elected officials.
Don’t forget to bring a donation or some nonperishable items for The Pantry of Broward to Winter in the Park. This
organization is important to our City and to those Seniors who need this assistance.
I wish each of you a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season and a wonderful 2015.
See you at Winter in the Park.

IF THERE WAS ONE FOOd LImITINg YOuR HEALTH…
WOuLd YOu WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS?
IMPERIAL POINT BRANCH, 5985 N. Federal Highway • 954-357-6530
#1 New Year’s Resolution – Lose Weight and get into Shape
Many people take this time of year to reevaluate their health and try to improve their lives. All not too often, people
begin with good intentions but quickly hit a wall or a huge plateau. Around that same time that person gets frustrated
and slips back into bad habits.
Why do these walls and plateaus come up for us? Have you ever heard yourself or a friend or family member say, “I’m
sticking to the same diet and exercise plan and I have not lost any weight in weeks. I’m so frustrated.” The answer may
be simpler than originally thought.
Your Healthy Food may Not Be digesting Properly
Digestion breaks food down into simple components (micro nutrients) which can easily be absorbed and utilized nutritionally. The immune system “recognizes” these micro nutrients as beneficial once they are absorbed into the bloodstream and does not react against them. If your body is not able to fully digest foods they maintain as a macro nutrient
when it gets absorbed into the bloodstream and the body does NOT “recognize” them as beneficial and thus mounts
a defense reaction against them. This is termed a Food Sensitivity which can result in a variety of symptoms including
weight imbalance.
How Can I determine if I have Food Sensitivities
A simple 5-10 minute evaluation and blood test will give us your individualized results in 48-72 hours. You will be given
a variety of foods to eat and not to eat along with a step by step program and process to make the transition. You will
have a Certified Natural Chef at your disposal for guidance and help. There will be follow up visits with the doctor every
30-60-90 days to evaluate your progression. The fee is affordable and we work with most insurances.
Your greatest gift To You Is YOu.
Taking care of yourself and making any improvements toward better health is never a bad or negative thing. It is, however, hard work. If it were easy to be healthy and well balanced…everyone would do it and be it. Contact Dr. Kim at
Dynamic Chiropractic today to determine if there is a simple solution to your health related problems.

SGT. DARREN OGDEN NEEDS OUR HELP
Darren is a 41 year old husband and father of three boys. Darren had a routine physical 6 years ago that would
forever change his life. After several
follow –up doctor visits he was diagnosed with Marginal Zone Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. This rare type of
lymphoma is classified as an indolent,
or slow growing blood cancer. While
this lymphoma can be managed with
routine chemotherapy regimens, it is
very difficult to cure. Over the course
of the six years Darren has had to undergo different chemotherapy treatments knowing this would not cure
him but rather extend his life as the
cancer would continue to grow.
In January 2014 Darren successfully
completed his most recent chemotherapy. In the following months the
critical blood numbers that are affected by his lymphoma began to drop
quicker than planned. Darren’s oncologist recommended an appointment
at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL
for a bone marrow transplant consultation. Prior to the appointment there
were questions of whether Darren
would be a candidate however, that
anxiety was quickly alleviated when
Darren was told he was a perfect candidate for the procedure.
Your 2015 Resolutions! Commit to a Reasonable Time Frame…
By Brett Renner, Personal Trainer, NSCA-CSCS
As the holidays approach, so do opportunities to overindulge and get sidetracked
from a diet plan or exercise regimen. As a personal trainer, I’ve seen people flood
into gyms after every New Year, eager to burn off the extra pounds gained during
the holidays. Most gym-goers have seen this surge of people in early January and
it becomes a topic of conversation, “How long do you think they’ll last this year?”
The truth is that as a society, we’ve become so used to instant gratification we become quickly discouraged when things don’t go our way within a relatively short
amount of time. Speaking from my personal experience in fitness and my collegiate soccer program, becoming healthy and establishing a regular gym routine is
not something done overnight. The point here is this; patience and hard work are
required to see results. This can be a cold hard truth to some people, but when
starting a workout program with my own clients and assessing their stated goals, I
have to be realistic and tell them exactly what is expected if they want to see those
goals achieved. Don’t make procrastination a self-indulgence, get an early start on
your Resolutions and increase your odds for success.
One of the first things I usually say is to give it time, and I’m not talking about just
two weeks and giving it up. I’m talking about starting with a solid 12 weeks of consistent exercise at a proper intensity, and then I could guarantee that regardless
of your current state of fitness, you would see significant progress within the first
three months. Being that most people aren’t willing to commit to anything for longer than a couple of weeks, the best
intentioned New Year’s Resolutions quickly go by the wayside – only about 8% will actually achieve their 2015 goals.
Whether or not you’ve been guilty of this in the past, anytime you want to set a goal for yourself give it a reasonable
amount of time to work; otherwise you’ll never know your true capabilities.
I’ve seen some really amazing transformations - people who didn’t think they could ever develop and look the way they
do now. Do your body a favor this Holiday Season, if you’re thinking about pursuing a more healthy lifestyle commit
to whatever you’re going to do for a specified amount of time. Making yourself accountable to a friend or spouse for
this time commitment also helps the process, so take that leap this year and commit to becoming a healthier version of
yourself. I personally promise that if you stick to a program, you’ll get so much satisfaction out of it you’ll wonder what
took you so long. This year, make a concerted effort to be one of those people that sticks around after the ‘New Year’s
Resolutioners’ have already given up and gone home – you’ll be happy you did.
For questions or guidance, call me at The Fitness Clinic – (815) 994-1026.
Darren was given the rare benefit of a few months of planning before this chapter of the fight would begin. Darren
plans to start the transplant process in January 2015 with approximately three months of chemotherapy at home in
South Florida. These three months will be followed by the bone marrow transplant at Moffitt Cancer Center and a long,
critical recovery process that requires him to stay in or around Moffitt for a minimum of four months post-transplant.
He will have a team of twenty doctors, nurses and other medical professionals to make this transplant possible and lead
him to good health. Darren’s transplant doctor said he could expect the typical recovery process to be between 6-12
months after his transplant before returning to work and other daily activities barring no serious complications.
Darren and his family are very thankful for this tremendous opportunity for a cure and ability to resume a normal life.
With the guidance, faith and strength from God and his transplant team Darren believes that he will be cured.

FORT LAUDERDALE CONSIDERED A TOP 10 BIRD FRIENDLY CITY
Our community flies high when it comes to preservation and protecting our urban habitats as per a report in the Birds
and Blooms Magazine. The recognition stems from the City of Fort Lauderdale participating in the National Wildlife
Federation’s Community Programs for habitat creation and preservation efforts. This is our motivation
for enhancing and certifying our Entrance Way.

Heartworm
Disease in
such as thunder, firecrackers and loud vehicles?
What are Feline Heartworms?
Heartworms are blood-borne parasites called Dirofilria immitis that reside in the heart or adjacent large blood vessels of
infected animals. The female worm is 6 to 14 inches long and 1/8 inch wide. The male is about half the size of the female.
Heartworm disease is much more common in dogs than cats. However, recent studies of cats with heart and respiratory
disease have found an incidence of heartworms that is far greater than previously thought.
What is the life cycle of Feline Heartworms?
The life cycle of the heartworm is complex and requires two host animals in order to complete it. Heartworms require
the mosquito as an intermediate hose and as many as 30 species of mosquitoes can act as this host and transmit
heartworms. Mosquitoes ingest immature heartworm larvae, called microfilariae, by feeding on an infected cat or more
commonly, an infected dog. The microfilariae develop further for 10 to 30 days in the mosquitoes gut and then enter
its mouthparts. When an infected mosquito bites a cat, it injects infective larvae into the cat. The larvae migrate and
mature for several months, ending up in the right side of the heart and pulmonary arteries. They mature into adult
heartworms capable of reproduction about six months from the time they enter the cat.
How do I know if my cat has heartworms?
One of the most challenging aspects of diagnosing feline heartworm disease is that there are no specific clinical signs.
The most common signs are a sudden onset of coughing and rapid breathing (signs that can also be caused by several
other diseases). Other clinical signs are collapse, dyspnea, vomiting, convulsions, diarrhea, blindness, tachycardia,
syncope, lethargy, anorexia, weight loss and sudden death.
There are several methods used in diagnosing heartworms. Unfortunately, no one method is 100% reliable so a
combination of tests is often needed.
Can my cat be treated for Heartworms?
There is no drug approved for treating heartworms
in cats. Veterinarians generally treat the symptoms
of heartworm disease and hope the cat outlives
the worms (heartworms live in a cat for about two
to three years).
Is there a way to prevent heartworms?
Yes! Veterinarians strongly recommend that all cats
receive year-round monthly heartworm prevention.
The reasons that heartworm prevention is
recommended for all cats are:
1.Diagnostic Difficulty
2.Unknown Incidence
3.There is no treatment
4.Prevention is safe and easy
5.Indoor cats can get heartworms too.
MOLDY SIDEWALKS GIVING YOU A PROBLEM??
Moldy sidewalks can be alleviated by a product called “Wet & Forget” that
is mixed with water and can be sprayed onto the sidewalks, buildings and
wood surfaces having mold and mildew on them. The mold/mildew stain
will disappear over time fading away leaving the original surface color. This
is better than using bleach or chlorine as these chemicals have a tendency
to deteriorate the concrete. If the sidewalk stain is from well water irrigating
the lawns, Marine Rust Removal can be used to remove the iron off of the
sidewalks. The most effective rust removal from well water is to use a
polymer chemical that precipitates the iron out of the well water before it is
sprayed onto the lawns and over sprayed onto the sidewalks and buildings.

BROWARd HEALTH ImPERIAL POINT RECEIVES PATHWAY TO EXCELLENCE® dESIgNATION
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – Broward Health Imperial Point (BHIP) has achieved the Pathway
to Excellence® designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the
world’s largest and most prestigious nurse credentialing organization and a subsidiary
of the American Nurses Association (ANA). According to the ANCC, BHIP is one of only
five hospitals in the state of Florida to receive this designation.
The Pathway to Excellence designation identifies the elements of work environments
where nurses can flourish. The designation substantiates the professional satisfaction
of nurses at BHIP and identifies it as one of the best places to work.
“This designation confirms Broward Health Imperial Point has elite nurses who ensure
excellence in care every day for every patient,” said Sandra Todd-Atkinson, chief
nursing officer. “By providing a nurturing environment for our nurses, and allowing
them to control their own practice, they’re encouraged to reach their full professional potential while providing safe
and compassionate care.
The Pathway to Excellence designation is granted based on the confirmed presence of characteristics known as “The
Pathway to Excellence Criteria.” For an organization to earn the Pathway to Excellence distinction, it must successfully
undergo a thorough review process that documents foundational quality initiatives in creating a positive work
environment — as defined by nurses and supported by research. These initiatives must be present in the facility’s
practices, policies, and culture. Nurses in the organization verify the presence of the criteria in the organization through
participation in a completely confidential online survey.
BUILDING a
FOUNDATION
for LIFE
We are currently accepting
applications for the
2015-2016 school year.
Join us for Open House!
As a Pathway to Excellence® designated organization,
BHIP is committed to nurses, to what nurses identify
as important to their practice, and to valuing nurses’
contributions in the workplace. This designation
confirms to the public that nurses working at
BHIP know their efforts are supported. The honor
encourages other nurses to join their colleagues in
this desirable and nurturing environment.

The ANCC’s Pathways to Excellence® designation is earned by healthcare
organizations that create work environments where nurses can excel in their
practice. The designation demonstrates the professional satisfaction of nurses
and identifies best places to work. In its excellence to serve Broward Health’s
mission, Broward Health Imperial Point received the Pathways to Excellence®
designation in October 2014.

Ask Lori…Parrish on Appraisal
Where are My Exemptions on the Tax Bill?
Dear Lori:
I bought and moved into my first home in March 2014. I filed for Homestead Exemption
at one of your community outreach events and was told my application has been
approved. I just received my 2014 tax bill and can’t understand where the Homestead
T. Williams, Century Village (via email)
and Senior Exemptions are listed?
Our office receives numerous calls every year asking us to confirm property tax
exemptions on tax bills. Please be advised that the Property Appraiser’s Office does not
set or collect taxes. We simply assess property for tax purposes and grant exemptions
to qualified individuals. The property tax bills are mailed by the Broward County Records,
Taxes & Treasury Division on or before November 1, of each year to more than 400,000
property owners.
All qualified Florida residents are entitled to a Homestead Exemption on their homes, condominiums, co-op apartments,
and certain mobile home lots. To qualify for Homestead, you must own and occupy the property as your primary residence
on January 1. By Florida law, all assessments and exemptions are based upon the status of the property on January 1.
Because you purchased and/or moved into your property after January 1, 2014, you have been approved for Homestead
Exemption for 2015. The tax bill you have just received is for tax year 2014. If the former owners of your new home where
entitled to and received Homestead or any other exemption on January 1, 2014, you will inherit these exemptions on your
2014 property tax bill. These 2014 exemptions will automatically expire at the end of 2014 and the Save Our Homes value
will be brought up to just value. Your new 2015 Homestead Exemption will be reflected next year on all 2015 property
records, notices and tax bills.
Please remember any additional property tax exemptions, such as the Low-Income Senior, Widow/Widower, Disability or
Veteran’s Exemptions will be applied to your 2015 property tax bill.
Current exemptions are not listed individually on the property tax bill. Rather, they are valued together and listed under
the column titled “Exemptions” on your tax bill. Your tax bill is calculated by multiplying the sum of the various tax rates
by your taxable value and then adding on your non-ad valorem fees.
Remember: By law, January 1 of each year is the date on which the permanent residence is determined and qualified
exemptions are granted. Should you have questions regarding property tax payment options, please visitwww.broward.
org/recordstaxestreasury, or call the Broward County Call Center at 954.831.4000. If you need more information about
your property tax assessment and exemptions, please visit our website at www.bcpa.net or contact our office directly at
954.357.6830.

Unfortunately, the holiday season provides opportunities that normally wouldn’t be there for
thieves. By simply following the below recommendations, folks can avoid becoming a victim.
• Keep all exterior doors locked. This includes side garage doors and interior garage doors
leading into the house.
• Close and lock all windows. Even if you are going away for just a few minutes.
• Keep the outside of your home well lit. (Driveways, garages, and front entry ways).
• Displays of holiday gifts should not be visible through doors or windows of your home.
• If you are going out, even during
the day, leave a light on, or have a radio
or television on so the house appears
occupied.
•
If you go away for the holidays, try to
keep your homes appearance as “lived
in” with automatic timers for lights
and the radio or T.V. Ensure someone
is watching your home and picking up
all items left outside.
• Be aware that sometimes criminals will
pose as couriers delivering gifts to case
your home or to commit a crime. You
do not have to open the door. Ask for
identification or other delivery options
if you feel unsure of the person’s
identity.
•
Also be aware of scams that criminals
commit to take advantage of people’s
generosity during the holidays. This
goes for any person asking for
donations, soliciting money via phone,
text, email or letter.
•
After the holidays, don’t advertise gifts
received by leaving the boxes left out
for garbage collection. Destroy boxes
and place in a sealed, non-clear garbage bag.
I look forward to working with you and
your community. I hope you all have a
safe and happy holiday season. Please feel
free to contact me with any questions or
concerns you may have.

COmmISSIONER BRuCE g. ROBERTS
HOLIdAY mESSAgE: The Holiday Season is right around the corner so I would like to wish
you all a safe and family-filled time. Our District continues to grow with new neighbors,
projects and enhancements. I have seen first-hand how neighborhoods are working
together with the City to solve problems, share ideas and sponsor events. We truly appreciate the opportunity to work with and serve you, as we find solutions that will allow
the City to remain one of the most beautiful and best cities in which to live, work, play
and raise a family. Be safe and let us all welcome 2015 with high spirits, a vision for the
future and a pride in our home - Fort Lauderdale!
ALL ABOARd FLORIdA: On October 30, 2014, Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief, City
of Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler and other dignitaries joined All Aboard Florida to
mark the start of construction for All Aboard Florida’s downtown Fort Lauderdale station. The existing building was demolished so construction on the nearly 60,000 square
foot station and platform can begin. This represents the first groundbreaking for one
of its three South Florida stations along the Miami-to-Orlando corridor and is the latest
announcement in a series of significant milestones as plans for the highly-anticipated
project move full steam ahead. The Fort Lauderdale station will be located on 4.8 acres of land adjacent to the Florida
East Coast Railway (FEC) corridor on NW 2nd Avenue, between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street. Located at the
northern end of downtown Fort Lauderdale, the station will stimulate a currently underutilized area, driving new visitors into downtown and the surrounding cultural, economic and shopping destinations. It should also be noted that
All Aboard Florida and the Broward Metropolitan Organization (MPO) have dedicated funds and will construct “Quiet
Zones” at FEC crossings.

SEASONAL HIgH TIdES: Flooding in low-lying areas is more likely in the fall months, as the close proximity of the moon,
high tides, rising sea levels and inclement weather conditions combine to exacerbate flooding risks. As a coastal community with numerous low-lying areas and 300 miles of canal coastline, Fort Lauderdale neighbors are advised to be
especially vigilant during the months of October and November. While the City maintains an extensive storm water
master plan and is instituting both aggressive maintenance and innovative adaptation solutions to address drainage,
including the installation of tidal valves, the location and natural geography of the City makes neighborhoods susceptible to flooding. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is offering the City grant funds in the mount of
$700,000 for additional valves. Visit http://www.fortlauderdale.gov/high_tides.html for important information regarding seasonal high tides. To report flooding in your area, please call 954-828-8000.

Time for a Financial Checkup
A new grandchild arrives. Your son moves across the country for his new job. The family
home requires more maintenance than your travel-intensive lifestyle allows. A health
challenge arises. Whatever the reason, expenses that significantly affect your long-term
finances should trigger a meeting with your Financial Advisor.
What to expect from a financial checkup
At McKinnon Wealth Management, we can help you explore ways to support your new
plans and model how certain changes could affect your future income. And even if
starting a new business, for example, was part of your retirement plans all along, you’ll
want to work with your Financial Advisor to make sure the assumptions you made are
in line with the financial reality.
Be prepared for whatever
life throws your way
Of course, special circumstances aren’t the only reason to review your retirement
finances. The regular checkups with your Financial Advisor that were part of your
working years should continue during retirement — and may even be more important.
“You can verify that everything is going according to plan and adjust if it isn’t,” says
Donna Peterson, Senior Vice President in Retail Retirement at Wells Fargo. “Your
Financial Advisor can also remind you about upcoming deadlines. Is it time to start drawing Social Security, taking required
minimum distributions or getting legacy plans in order?”
You’ll also want to catch and manage any divergences from your retirement strategy that you might not otherwise have
noticed, particularly in expenses and investments. “Some retirees find that their spending increases in the early years of
retirement instead of decreasing as they try new activities,” Peterson notes.
• Increasing medical costs
• Caring for an elderly parent
• Helping a child or grandchild afford
• And more
Conversely, you may discover you have budgeted more than you are actually spending, which means you’re holding more
cash than you intended. At a checkup, your Financial Advisor can review your discretionary income allotment and portfolio
allocations with you. You may decide to reduce the amount you’re drawing from your portfolio, or take advantage of the
opportunity to boost your retirement lifestyle.
Your Financial Advisor will also ask about any life events that may affect your finances. That new granddaughter may prompt
not only changes to your estate plans but also an increase in your travel budget if her parents reside elsewhere — or you may
choose to purchase a home near the newly expanded family. All these decisions should be made in the context of your larger
retirement goals, but they may also involve practicalities that your Financial Advisor can help you think through. “Relocation
is not just about finding a new home and moving,” Peterson points out. “It also means finding everything from a new social
structure to new doctors.”
Our unique Envision® process helps you identify your top priority goals and develop
a plan designed to help you live your life the way you want. It also offers you the
flexibility to adjust your priorities to account for any of life’s changes, such as:
higher education

keeps pace with your life, please contact me today.

Some retirees plan a checkup each November before they take required minimum distributions from their IRAs and 401(k)s.
Others choose an annual meeting during the first quarter of the year, before tax deadlines. Many retirees use their birth date
as a reminder to check in with their Financial Advisor. No matter when you choose to hold a regular meeting, you can always
conduct an additional checkup whenever a change occurs in your life.
Regardless which approach you choose, talking with your Financial Advisor regularly can keep you confident about your
financial reality — whatever surprises retirement has in store.

Port Everglades and the Panama Canal Expansion
By State Representative George Moraitis
Recently, I was part of a delegation of the Southern Legislative Conference to travel to
Panama to observe for ourselves the Panama Canal expansion projects. Our visit included
briefings by the Panama Canal Authority and a tour of the Canal. It was explained how
the improvements at the Panama Canal will facilitate the transfer of cargo between
Asia and the United States to become more effective and more efficient. As a result, the
improvements at the Panama Canal will not only significantly increase the volume of
trade between Asia and the United States but will also substantially increase the volume
of trade reaching the Gulf of Mexico and our Atlantic Coast ports. One of the purposes
of the tour was to demonstrate the need for Southern ports to continue essential
infrastructure enhancements to be able to accommodate larger vessels and expanded
cargo volumes that will arrive after the completion of the Panama Canal projects.
I am well aware of the tremendous opportunities that the expansion of the Panama
Canal presents to South Florida, and that is why my top priority has been to make sure
that Port Everglades receives the necessary funding to make critical improvements and
maintain its high standard of quality. Port Everglades is one of the most dynamic drivers
of economic growth in our region, directly contributing to the employment of over 201,000 Floridians. This is why I worked
during the 2014 Legislative Session to secure funding to continue the work we have begun in order to further expand the
port as we prepare for the widening of the Panama Canal scheduled for completion in 2016. I am pleased to report that for
the years 2014 and 2015 the Legislature appropriated over $48 million to continue improvements at Port Everglades including
the expansion of the south cargo piers in the turning notch. This funding, as well as future allocations, will help ensure that
Port Everglades remains a world class port ready to take advantage of the generational opportunity that the expansion of
the Panama Canal provides.
In closing, I would like to wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.

Frankel Unveils Legislation to Provide Resources to Student
Veterans at Roundtable with Local Colleges & Universities
Frankel’s bipartisan Veterans Education Empowerment Act would establish
resource centers for student veterans
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) today hosted a roundtable at
Florida Atlantic University with local colleges and universities about resources available
to student veterans in South Florida. Frankel focused on the Veterans Education
Empowerment Act, legislation that would allow the Department of Education to help
establish veteran student centers.
“Veterans have stood up for us, now it’s time for us to stand up for them,” said
Congresswoman Frankel. “Creating on-campus communities for student veterans
will help ease the transition from military to student life by providing networking
opportunities, assistance with federal benefits, and career services.”
The Veterans Education Empowerment Act, bipartisan legislation Frankel introduced
with Congressmen Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) and Mark Takano (CA-14), creates a grant program
through the Department of Education for colleges and universities to implement veteran student centers. Institutions
enrolling more than 15,000 students, where more than one percent of students are veterans, would be eligible for these
grants and would be capped at $500,000 per school. These centers would help student veterans obtain federal and state
benefits, succeed in school, and find a job after graduation. In Palm Beach and Broward Counties, Florida Atlantic University,
Nova Southeastern University, Palm Beach State University, and Broward College would all be eligible for the Department of
Education grants. continued on opposite page

Update from Your County Commissioner CHIP LAMARCA
Port Everglades
Port Everglades exceeded one-million TEUs for the first time in the port’s history. TEUs
are 20-foot equivalent unit containers, the standard measurement for cargo containers.
“This is a huge accomplishment for our seaport and a credit to our customers who
continued to build their businesses through the global recession with an eye towards
the future,” said Port Everglades Chief Executive & Port Director Steven Cernak.
Passenger moves at Port Everglades topped 4 million in fiscal year 2014, with a record
3.88 million multi-day moves and 121,321 daily moves, according to preliminary statistics.
Port officials attribute the increase to more cruise ships sailing during the summer and
cruise lines offering more 4-and 5-night sailing itineraries. The Port’s 20-Year Master/
Vision Plan estimates that Port Everglades will reach 5.6 million cruise passenger moves
by the year 2033. The cruise industry at Port Everglades accounts for more than 5,000
direct jobs and nearly $1.7 billion in annual economic activity.
Park Discounts for Veterans
Easterlin and Quiet Waters parks are offering special discounts throughout November for all active-duty and honorably
discharged veterans or reserve units of the United State Armed Forces or National Guard. For more info, call Easterlin at 954357-5190 or Quiet Waters at 954-357-5100.

promenade on the east side of A1A, which consist of a paver sidewalk, installing a decorative sea wall with accent lighting,
constructing a raised median in front of Birch State Park, constructing median islands and left turn lanes in the residential
section, installing a new underground drainage system, relocating underground utilities, adjusting manhole covers, restoring
beach showers, installing decorative, turtle-friendly pedestrian lighting on both sides of A1A, and installing signalized
pedestrian crosswalks at Birch State Park, NE 15th Court and NE 17th Street. Cost/Completion: $11.8 million. Completion is
expected in late 2015.
If there is anything that we can do to assist you with your vision for a better Broward, please do not hesitate to contact our
office at 954.357.7004 or by email at clamarca@broward.org.
As always, it is an honor to serve you.
Best wishes for the Holiday Season. I look forward to serving the residents of Imperial Point these next four years.
Best regards,
Lois Frankel continued...

Eat healthy over the holidays
The arrival of holiday season means your social
calendar may be jammed with parties, family
gatherings, faith-based events and other

overeating, excessive drinking or adding extra
pounds around the midsection. “With some
planning, smarts and a bit of self-control, you
can have a fantastic time without overindulging,”
says Dr. Paula Thaqi, Director of the Florida
Department of Health in Broward County.

In keeping with Florida’s “Healthiest Weight” initiative, here are 10 tips for healthy holiday eating:
1. Don’t deny yourself. It’s OK to indulge a little. Skipping the fun food and drinks will increase your desire to binge.
2. Don’t go to a large dinner on an empty stomach. Eat a healthy breakfast or lunch with fruits and vegetables, plus
protein such as tuna salad, nuts, eggs, yogurt or cheese.
3. View holiday events as less about food and more about spending time with family and friends.
4. If it won’t insult the hosts, bring a healthy dish to share. That gives you a treat if the other food is waist-busting. Also,
make baked goods healthier by using whole grains and applesauce in place of white flour and oil.
5. At the buffet, sample your favorite foods and pass up the rest. Also, let others be first in line. Eating last means you’ll be
less tempted for seconds.
6. If you are not truly hungry and are just tempted by sight and smell, try nibbling on small portions of favorite foods.
7. Set a mental goal of filling half your plate with fruits and veggies, one-quarter with protein and one-quarter with whole
grains.
8. Walk away from the buffet table to mingle while you eat. Eat slowly and savor every bite. Hang out with the talkers,
not the eaters.
9. Hold off for a bit on getting seconds. Our bodies may take 20 minutes after eating to feel full. Give yourself that time.
10.Drinking water with food helps you feel fuller, quicker. Also, limit alcohol, which has calories and can lower your
will power.
If you overdo it, a nice walk can help you feel better. The next day, get back on track with healthy and delicious meals.

BOURGEOIS. We also welcomed Fire Marshall JEFF LUCAS, Captain RONALD TETREAULT, and Fire Inspector JASON MILLER. A fine
representative crew, indeed! We are also privileged to have had the “first” public demonstration of the newly acquired “FAUX
HOUSE”, a big rig trailered in providing a “faux fire” environment to educate how to survive a fire situation. It was remarkable,
exciting, and great to be the debut site! Thank you so much to you all!
Fort Lauderdale Mounted Police Officer CHUCK SIERRA again shared his time mounted upon his trusty and beautiful steed, “El
Capitan”, a registered 16 hand Palomino quarter horse. What a show to behold as the majestic animal danced to the band’s
performance of “LaBamba”! Fantastic and a delight as always to see you both! Thank you.
Thanks to Police Captain FRANK SOUSA of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department for installation of the lighted city message board
located on 62nd Street announcing our event.
To Broward Health/Imperial Point Medical Center (BHIP) Facilities Manager, STEVE FREDRICKSON, we so appreciated your furnishing
of the tables and chairs used by our Board Members at the entrance and for all the ice needed to keep the drinks cold! To the
Medical Center Staff Members, TONY EDWARDS, DELROY GORDON, and PETER GUARDINO thank you for the delivering the tables, chairs,
and ice and for picking up all afterwards. Additionally, you guys bringing and installing the generator for extra power needed for the
popcorn machine was great! Your kind help is so wonderful and always appreciated greatly!
Special thanks to the Department of Parks and Recreation, City of Fort Lauderdale, for doing a great job maintaining Dottie Mancini
Park. We were happy and grateful to see THOMAS SCHUCHARD once again! The parks department again purchased and donated fifty
(50) assorted trees that were offered free to homeowners for the taking. Very nicely done!
We are so pleased again to have welcomed our County Commissioner, CHIP LaMARCA, and Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner BRUCE
ROBERTS who represents District I, and is our neighbor. Always a pleasure to see you both!

Our Imperial Point Association has become very well known for our Pet Parade held on the Imperial Point Hospital grounds at
NE 22nd Ave., Ft. Lauderdale. Thank You, Broward Health Imperial Point for your generosity, the use of your chairs and tables
for our exhibits, and the use of your grounds.
Diane Sedberry and Susan Muntz of the Ft. Lauderdale Doberman Rescue League presented a wonderful demonstration on
Obedience by the Ft. Lauderdale Doberman Rescue League Drill Team. They also offered information on training your dog,
All Breeds Obedience Classes. Not just Dobermans! Visit their website at: http://doberescue.net or on facebook. Feel free
to call Diane at 954-946-4100 . Both Diane and Susan have been competing with their dogs in American Kennel Club events
throughout the state of Florida. Their dogs hold titles in Advanced Obedience. They are well experienced dog handlers.
Special thanks to Scott Schenck and his Doberman Heidi for their exciting demonstration with the Frisbee discs. Lots of fun
and exercise for both!

Two special guests from the City of Pompano Beach Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department School for Dogs and
People, Lisa Hamburg and Julie Cook, joined us to demonstrate K9 Nose Work for dogs. This is a game that dogs and people
can play together with no obedience training. They learn to identify target odors used in National Competition. Any dog can
play! All based on rewards and reinforcement. Their classes take place at McNab Park, 2250 East Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano
Beach. For more information, call 954-415-8132 or 954-786-4111 www.pompanobeachfl.gov
Once again we paraded around the neighborhood showing off our wonderful well socialized pets. Most impressive! Everyone
picked up after them. Thanks for everyone’s cooperation!
An assortment of doughnuts and cinnamon rolls were donated by Bruce & Sue Muntz, for all the dog handlers, along with
plenty of fresh bottled water offered by the Imperial Point Association.
