Best, Denise Business News Magland Celebrated Their 11th Year In Business Many of the Magland clients, business partners, network contacts, suppliers and friends got together at Magland headquarters for their annual open house. Orchid arrangements were raffled and many landscape Bustiness News on page 4 Page 4, The Talk Of Tequesta Business News from page 3 prizes and souvenirs were given to the guests in attendance. Among their guests was Gail Gill, director at Seabreeze Publications; Stacie Sciolino, Golden Bear Realtor; David Mallegol, a local book writer and local representatives from the Northern Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau. Magland was born in 2002 in Jupiter, managed by their owners and operated by an exclusive team of designers, supervisors and a marketing director. Magland keeps expanding their services and market areas. Martin and Palm Beach counties have been their area of business since the beginning. When asked about their plans for the future, Magland owner replied, “We really want to get stronger in Palm Beach County. We love working here and this has been home to us for many years; we are truly Floridians – we wouldn’t change Florida for any other place!” • Would you consider expanding your business throughout Florida? “Although it is a tempting thought, we would like to get stronger and grow bigger in the Palm Beaches. There is such a large market in this area and the economy’s comeback is starting to show, especially in the new construction area. • Do you think economy is helping homeowners to get back on track and to fix or upgrade their Ten Years Of Giving Back To Habitat For Humanity Bob and Pat Bean brought a lifetime of volunteerism with them when they moved to Jupiter Farms nearly 10 years ago. While raising their two daughters in south Florida, Pat, a school teacher, always volunteered with the Girl Scouts and taught Sunday school and Bob, an engineer, volunteered with the Kiwanis and Meals on Wheels. When they moved here and joined Jupiter First Church they saw an ad in the bulletin asking for volunteers to help out at the Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store on Old Dixie Highway. They went to check it out and are still there 10 years later. yards? “We see that all the time. Besides the new building we are seeing, many of the locals are starting to remodel, expand or improve their yards. The economy is getting better, home pricing is coming back up and people want to add some value to their homes before putting their houses on the market. It really works well for the seller, the Realtor, the building industry, the buyer, etc. ... it is a win-win situation for all of us.” If you wish to contact Magland for a free landscape consultation, please call (561) 745-6756 or e-mail: info@ magland.net to make an appointment with one of their landscape designers. Who Needs Permanent Makeup? Bob and Pat Bean Every Friday morning you’ll see Bob sorting through anything with an electrical cord or moving parts and Pat sorting through the piles of children’s clothing donated to the store each week. It’s their job to determine if the donations are worthy of being put up for sale and assigning a price to them. Bob says with a limited number of volunteers, they don’t have time to perform a lot of repairs, so if an item doesn’t work for the owner, it doesn’t work for Habitat for Humanity either. One of the most interesting donations they’ve seen is the day a woman came to the door with half a dozen brandnew men’s suits worth $1,000 each and a dozen new dress shirts. She explained that she had just gotten married and didn’t have room in her closet for them! Bob and Pat love their work with Habitat for Humanity because it’s something different every single week. The people there are fun to be with and it provides a way for them to give back to the community and interact with people. They say the store manager, Cindy Capitanelli, is a delight and very efficient. The customers just love her. The rest of their spare time is spent enjoying their children and grandchildren, gardening, playing bridge and traveling more than they ever believed they would. They also volunteer at Jupiter First Church and the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. If you have some spare time, enjoy interacting with the public or like working behind the scenes, Habitat for Humanity can use your help.

Everyone can benefit from permanent makeup - everyone who desires a soft, natural enhancement to their beauty. It is especially beneficial to people who can't wear cosmetics due to allergies and skin sensitivities. It’s makeup that doesn’t “sweat off" during exercise. People with fading eyesight or unsteady hands can have perfect makeup. And everyone who always wants to look their best but doesn’t take time or hates how makeup runs and fades should consider permanent makeup. Permanent cosmetic can be subtle or dramatic depending on the effect you want.

By Kelly Leary© , M.S., Co-Founder of Precision Dating “It’s spring fever. And when you’ve got it... it makes your heart ache, you want it so!” – Mark Twain Happy March! This is a good time to revisit and recommit to your resolutions. March Madness is a phenomenon that grips the nation. This is a time of awakening--and to help you awaken--I’ve composed a list of five SURE-FIRE WAYS TO RENEW YOUR SPIRIT--and your heart--SINGLE OR NOT. 1. Don a New Look. Book an appointment at a trendy salon and change your hair color or cut (good for men or women). Search through magazines or when you see someone with a style you admire, ask where he or she goes. The better you look and feel, the more admirers you will attract. If you are a man who is missing some or all of his hair...don’t worry. Many women love bald men! 2. Enroll today for our “LUCKY IN LOVE” SPEED DATING PARTY this month. You MUST be a Single, Divorced, or Widowed adult from ages 25 to 85 to apply. Luckily, we don’t take walk-ins. Our parties are separated by age groups so don’t worry about being with someone too young or too old. Everyone must wear something green to this A List Singles Party. Surely your Spring Season will be guaranteed to kick off with a special someone. Please call today otherwise you may not get in. 3. Pick Yourself Up. Visit Dr. Alan Jacobson for some solid counsel on injectables or face and neck procedures. Finding a good plastic surgeon is an important process to which all should give considerable thought. I highly recommend Alan L. Jacobson, M.D. who is a boardcertified cosmetic surgeon in Jupiter. Mention This Column to receive “special treatment.” Injectables are a serious procedure and should be performed by a doctor (561-624-0900). 4. I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!! The weather is warmer and it’s the perfect time to visit your local ice cream parlor! This is a good idea to combine with a movie date so you can enjoy some chit chat over ice cream. I think it’s impossible to have a negative thought in an ice cream parlor! 5. Try a new shade of lipstick Ladies. I enjoy this pastime whenever the seasons change. For the more daring, book an appointment at your favorite makeup counter (Chanel, Mac, Lancome, Bobbi Brown, for example), and have the pros show you the way! This month, abandon the ordinary dull routines of your life that are not working for you and access a deeper wisdom through some bold and positive action. Two is always better then one.

To make your garden inviting to them means adding a certain magic to your special backyard paradise. A garden with butterflies is a healthy, balanced and productive garden. In addition to their beauty, the insects provide us the service of pollinating the flowers we grow in our gardens. Because, by design, butterflies are flyers it is not possible to create a permanent home for these magnificent creatures in your yard, only a way-station where they may stop by to refresh themselves during their everlasting journey. But by providing the carbohydrate-rich drinks they need for their energy intensive flight and the foods their children need to develop into their parents image, they may visit your little secret paradise to allow you to enjoy their almost ephemeral beauty. These are simple helpful hints in how to create a butterfly garden: • Provide a combination of adult nectar sources and larval host plants – attracts maximum variety of butterfly species; encourages butterflies to remain in your yard, reproduce and build populations instead of just passing through; allows gardener to appreciate all life history stages. • Incorporate native plants into the landscape whenever possible – most larval host plants are natives; adapted to region; produces a small but representative extension of the natural ecosystem; attracts other wildlife. • The plants you select determine the wildlife value of your yard – the level of maintenance required, how much money you’ll be spending on water or electricity to run a pump, and how much fertilizer or pesticide may be required. Plant selection also determines how long your landscape will last. • Create horizontal and vertical heterogeneity – choose plants that have different heights and growth habits; creates numerous microclimates, which in turn appeal to a greater diversity of butterfly species; provides shelter; creates levels/ strata of feeding opportunities. • Aim for a consistent host plant and floral venue throughout the growing season – choose plants that have different blooming times; ensures that garden remains attractive and productive as long as possible; provides food for butterflies during periods of low natural availability. • Provide a number of different flower colors – different butterfly species are attracted to different flower colors so include yellow, orange, white and blue flowers as well as reds, pinks and purples. • Plant in shade as well as full sun – appeals to more butterfly species; many forest species prefer shadier locations. • Plant in groupings – aesthetically pleasing; provides masses of color; more apparent in landscape; allows larvae to locate additional food resources in event of shortage. Choose appropriate plants for each location – understand each plant requires basic water, light and soil requirements to grow to its maximum potential.

We continue with Fiddler on the Roof (Dec. 2-21), the Tony Award®winning classic musical that follows dairyman Tevye as he fights to maintain his family and heritage. Next up is The Wiz (Jan. 13 – Feb. 1), the spirited, rock gospel and soul Tony Award®-winning musical based on the classic tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – perfect for the entire family. Then join us for Glengarry Glen Ross (Feb. 8 – Feb. 22), David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece about a group of tough-talking Chicago real estate agents who will do anything to close a deal. Our incredible season ends with a four-week run of the Tony Award®-winning phenomenon Les Misérables (March 10 – April 5), an epic and inspiring production not to be missed! “The Maltz Jupiter Theatre has the power to spark your imagination, with incredible Broadway caliber productions and events,” said Andrew Kato, the theatre’s producing artistic director. “We invite everyone to enjoy our blockbuster musicals, family entertainment, comedies and riveting dramas. We have also selected a fantastic lineup of brand new limited engagements for our audiences to enjoy.” Currently celebrating its 11th season, the theatre was recently nominated for 19 Carbonell Awards, South Florida’s highest honor for artistic excellence. To celebrate and announce its 2014/15 season, the Theatre held a cocktail party on Feb. 10, featuring a unique photo opportunity for attendees: photos with models from West Palm Beach-based Garbage Gone Glam, showcasing two extra-special dresses tailored from theatre marketing materials. As part of the big announcement, guests dined on desserts themed to each of the theatre’s upcoming shows: English tea cookies (The Foreigner), Rugelach (Fiddler on the Roof), a glittery green cupcake tower (The Wiz), a cake featuring a suit and tie design in frosting (Glengarry Glen Ross) and éclairs and Napoleons (Les Miserables).

Back for its final performance, the theatre will produce a contemporary retelling of the children’s classic Alice in Wonderland with the spectacular family-friendly musical Lighthouse ArtCenter Names Director For School Of Art The Lighthouse ArtCenter has named Cynthia Trone director of its School of Art. “New leadership means new opportunities to grow,” said Katie Deits, executive director of the Tequesta museum and art school, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. Over the past year, Trone has proven her leadership abilities, first as executive assistant and now as director of the school, Cynthia Trone which offers courses in painting, drawing, ceramics, jewelry making, photography and sculpture. She also will oversee the ArtCenter’s summer camp programs. It’s something that comes natural for her. Trone managed Jupiter Outdoor Center and Jupiter Pointe Paddling for six years and taught thousands the simple pleasure of the glide. She also is the volunteer project lead for Expedition Florida 500, a statewide conservation effort. “We look forward to Trone guiding some of our relationships with other local organizations by integrating environmental themes in the art projects our students create,” Deits said. Trone graduated from Colby College with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. A Jersey girl who was raised with Manhattan in her backyard, she spent her 20s and early 30s on the coast of Maine. She raised her three children in Burlington, Vt., and moved to Tequesta in 2005. “I invite everyone to stop by the School of Art, see what we do, then enroll in a class,” Trone said.

By Glenn Sudnick, Certified Sommelier I know what you’re thinking; everybody drinks beer with this traditional dish. Not necessarily, some of my guests will still prefer to have a glass of wine. Search on the Internet and you will encounter many interpretations. The boiled or braised corn beef is filled with spices such as pepper, allspice, salt, thyme, garlic, coriander, clove and bay leaves. The term “corned” refers to the large salt crystals that are used in the preservation process. It originated in the days when refrigeration did not exist and foods were cured or pickled. The cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable (a vegetable from the mustard family, e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts). These two combinations can be very challenging to pair with the correct wine. Some will suggest an Alsatian Gewurztraminer of high intensity with exotic spices and fruit aromas of Lychee, pineapple, peach jam and dried apricot. Others will suggest a Sauvignon Blanc because it cuts through the salt and fattiness of the corned beef. I am not too sure I want to choose my wine because it cuts through my meal. I have seen recommendations like a light Beaujolais made from handpicked gamay grapes. This wine is full of fruit flavors, youthful, easy to drink and is a St. Patrick’s Day favorite. From Italian Chianti to the Portuguese Vino Verde There can be many interpretations of wine choices with this traditional dish. I pondered, yes, I said pondered. I find myself doing that a lot and came up with a wine that is great with our corned beef and cabbage. The 2012 Franciscan “Equilibrium” has a vibrant fruit-driven aroma of white peach, guava with hints of lime. It’s a blend of 72 percent Sauvignon Blanc that allows for structure and a crisp backbone. There is 17 percent Chardonnay that is fermented in neutral oak barrels sur lie which adds richness and complexity. Finally, the jasmine, honeysuckle aromas are prevalent with the addition of 11 percent Muscat. The flavors are round bodied on the palate with nectarine and stone fruit. The finish is long and satisfying with a hint of sweetness. “Equilibrium” lives up to the name with harmony and balance. This wine is limited with only 1,503 cases produced, so if you think you might enjoy this wonderful wine, don’t wait.

Sam and Jill Plummer Guests can immerse themselves in 1964 American popular culture, dance to Motown music by the popular band Memory Lane, and look back to the Mod and mini-skirt fashions, American muscle cars and the space race. “It’s funny how what was popular then is popular now,” Deits said, citing the current resurgence of art and fashion from that period. This year’s ball, chaired by Sam and Jill Plummer, will highlight those themes. The Plummers are receiving assistance from a Ball Committee that includes: Michael Andersen, Gerri Aurre, Carolyn Austin, Susan Bardin, Evelyne Bates, Julie Silk Beaumont, Kristin Blackmon, Pat Crowley, Judy DiEdwardo, Judy Flescher, Peter Golding, Esther Gordon, Denise LeClair-Robbins, Susan Nastri, Rosalie Roush, Frankie Spellman, Mary Sunshine, Theresa Wood and Curt Fonger.

They aren't just going to tell you what they liked and respected about this business, but what other randomly selected customers liked as well. We are interested in what their customers have to say and share their comments with you. According To The Divas.... We knew very little about Trovare Treasures before meeting with Lisa Emalfarb, Proprietor. When we first walked into her shop we entered the most elegant yet comfortable dining room one might envision in the most prestigious of homes. The table was not just set it was adorned. The linens, china, flatware and crystal glistened under the most magnificent chandelier. Every detail down to the napkin holders would captivate the most discerning of guests. The walls are lined with displays of beautiful dishes, flatware, stemware napkin rings with accessories and giftware priced from $5.00 to $5,000.00. One of our favorite items was a beautiful bud vase priced at just $20 resembling a Lalique original. Lisa created a business enabling her to use her interior decorating background with her passion to entertain and bring people together. She defines it as “Tablescaping.” So by day, Trovare, in Italian meaning “to find,” is a retail store specializing in tabletop, giftware, stemware and accessories. In the evening this beautiful setting is available for private dinner parties with the food being prepared by Krave's renowned Chef Michael. It is available for intimate dinner parties accommodating up to 12 guests. The couple are each other's most loyal supporters in life and in business. When asked how they met, she told us how she was aware of his culinary skills as executive chef at the then nearby Jupiter Island Grill. Shortly after opening she was asked to organize an elegant dinner party for a well known friend in Palm Beach. When in need of a caterer she immediately thought of Chef Michael. Her interest in “Tablescaping” and his extraordinary culinary skills made for a winning combination and a successful party. (NY Housewife) Ramona Singer was the guest of honor. Ramona, known for her blunt honesty raved about the food and decor. That was the start of their successful business collaboration and the rest is history..... Special Features: The most unique bridal registry service available. Impressive selection of: Dishes, flatware, stemware, linens, napkin holders, placemats giftware, decorating accessories priced from $5.00 to $5,000. Party planning available on and off site Beautifully decorated, comfortable ambiance to accommodate luncheon or dinner party Perfect place to host a private party in every sense of the word.

Here is the answer to that dilemma! This is a place for a unique impressive gathering whether it be an afternoon tea, bridal shower, business lunch or dinner, birthday celebration or dinner party.

Dining Review Krave Restaurant 626 North US Highway 1 in Tequesta Located in County Line Plaza Hours: 4 PM to 10 PM Tuesday - Sunday Closed Monday Reservations strongly suggested (561) 575-9222 Kraverestaurant.com Pat Deshong and Marcia Dowd AKA “The Dining Divas Duo” aren't just going to tell you what they liked about the restaurant, but what other randomly selected customers liked as well. “We're interested in the flavor of the restaurant as well as the flavor of the food because that's what makes a true dining experience.” The moment you come through the doors at Krave you know you have arrived at the hottest most talked about restaurant in the County! There are 9 Black Galaxy granite tables that sparkle in the Dining Room complimented by studded white leather chairs. Additionally, there are four seats at the cozy LED lite bar that are available upon request to reserve. Chef/Owner Michael Rolchigo created an innovative VIP seating for two overlooking his kitchen as he presents and prepares his creative cuisine for you. In his words, “my dream as a chef has been to have a small intimate restaurant where I am able to touch every plate and know all of my guests while providing a superior dining experience.” Special Features: Chef owned, operated American eclectic cuisine with world influence Foods creatively prepared and made fresh to order Sophisticated, comfortable & understated elegance Warm, professional and knowledgeable staff Wine bar with good selection of wine & beers Appetizers include soup, assortment of salads of Red curry mussels, spicy sushi tuna roll, crispy orange beef, New York State Foie Gras etc. Entrees feature a variety of creative cuisine of fresh seafood locally and flown in from Hawaii pork, beef, poultry specially prepared. Vegetables and herbs are from local organic farms and black truffles from Tuscany Emphasis on service and the dining experience, Reservations and seatings are timed so you never feel rushed Close convenient ample parking. We Sampled......while we were waiting for our salads, Chef insisted we try a tasting of his signature appetizer...Pear & blue cheese pasta purses, toasted walnuts, Gorgonzola Asiago cream sauce. It was incredible! Marcia, tends to shy away from trying something that sounds unusual, took a bite and devoured it. Pat's entree was one of the evening's specials: Hawaiian swordfish lightly grilled in a light beurre blanc white wine sauce and served over saffron rice and asparagus. It was cooked just right and delicious! Marcia selected grilled tenderloin of beef, Pommes Anna (thinly sliced potatoes layered with Parmesan and olive oil), asparagus, with melted Saint Andre Brie, Blackberry Demi glacé cooked to perfection and superior. Of course if there is chocolate on the menu, according to Marcia “there is always room for dessert” and this one was extraordinary. A Belgium chocolate Lava cake with homemade gelato. Don't Take Our Word....Randomly selected Customers... Maria, Jane, Dee seasonal residents from Jupiter Island and celebrating a birthday.....This was the second time they had eaten there. On their first visit they were concerned with the size of the dining room. They were pleasantly surprised to find that small became cozy and was actually a positive. Dee who hails from NJ and Jupiter Island chose the pork tenderloin for the second time. We learned later that was one of their award winning dishes. Maria, the birthday girl from Albany loved the Hog Snapper. She enjoys it well cooked and was surprised to find out how moist it was. Jane, visiting from NJ, said she wished she had ordered the pasta purses as an entree because they were that delicious and had never had them before. They intend to be frequent guests at Krave. What The Divas said about this dining experience... We know from your feedback that you appreciate our candor so we must share our first encounter with Chef Michael. At first glance we thought we were being “punked” or set up. His resemblance to Billy Joel is uncanny. Pat seriously believed he was going to break into and start singing “bottle of red, bottle of white” at any second. We were happy to hear that we were not the only ones to think that. He said it happens every day. While he may not own any Grammy's, he is an award winning chef and two time recipient of the Vita Nova Award. He graduated from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park NY with degrees in both culinary and pastry arts and worked at many noteworthy restaurants in NYC. Most of all though, he credits the training he received at an early age in his grandmother’s kitchen. He even uses her cavatelli machine when making fresh pasta. While he could easily replace it with a more state of the art device, it enables him to feel her presence and serve as a reminder for the passion in him she inspired. Krave is a true family experience- mother, sister and daughter work in the kitchen, son is a member of the waitstaff and Lisa from Trovare is not only considered a business partner but partner in life. We can honestly say we experienced this warm interaction between staff and all of us dining there that evening. We thought that the quality of foods -and service would bear a much higher priced menu. However, we felt with appetizers ranging in price from $8 to $15 and entrees priced from $24 to $38, it was our opinion that it was reasonable. When asked what Krave meant, Chef said, “A desire for all the good things in life, not just the food.” Chef Michael is accomplishing that and more. Please be sure to ask for him and let him know the Divas sent you!

There Are Medical Conditions That Will Cause Hearing Loss By Murray Steinfeld, Audioprosthologist Many conditions and diseases not obviously connected with the ear can still result in hearing concerns. Some of these conditions are quite common such as diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure), both effects roughly one-third of the U.S. population. Diabetes and hypertension impair the cardiovascular system and as a result the nerves and blood vessels of the inner ear can become damaged and the hearing diminished. Hearing loss of this kind usually occurs due to problems associated with the inner ear (cochlea) and is referred to as “Sensorineural.” This type hearing loss results from damage to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain (the auditory nerve) or to the central processing centers of the brain. Usually this is permanent and irreversible. Sensorineural hearing loss can generally be treated successfully using hearing aids or if very profound with cochlear implants. Let’s examine certain key diseases that can cause hearing loss. Diabetes: About 11 percent of our population has diabetes. Those who have diabetes suffer from a reduced efficiency of neurons, hair cells and other cell types in the auditory system, which leads to sensorineural hearing loss. Shingles: (Herpes Zoster) caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. The CDC estimates one in three Americans will develop this disease. Approximately 50 percent are over 60 years of age. When it affects the ear, this virus can also result in facial paralysis with symptoms of dizziness and hearing loss. Hypertension: Approximately one-third of adults in the United States have high blood pressure. Several studies evidence that hypertension is associated with risk of sensorineural hearing loss. Regretfully, people seem to believe that hearing loss affects only senior age people. Absolutely wrong! Age is no longer the major factor. Noise is supplanting age as a major factor. Listening to music using ear-buds in our ears has had a significant effect on our younger population’s loss of hearing. Other diseases that cause hearing loss, though some seem to have been taken under control, still affect a certain percentage of our population. They are: hypothyroidism, which affects about 5 percent of Americans. This is either congenital or develops later in life and can cause sudden hearing loss. Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges (coverings) of the brain and spinal cord and can potentially cause hearing loss. Over the past decades, vaccinations have successfully reduced the incidence to about half. Yet the CDC still estimates that 3,000 to 6,000 cases occur annually. Multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis are Answer for Crossword Puzzle diseases that should also be included and the hearing loss factor is just another consequence those affected are forced to deal with. Research has shown repeatedly that maintaining a healthy weight, by eating a sensible diet and keeping physically active can limit ones risk for diabetes and hypertension. Getting up-to-date immunizations and early treatment of any of these diseases can lower the chances that one of these conditions results in a hearing loss.

Calcium By Dan and Liz Brumer, R.Phs., Tequesta Drugs and Compounding Pharmacy Ta k i n g c a l c i u m – either through diet or supplements – is a little like making deposits into a bone bank account. If you keep a healthy balance of this mineral, your body is able to build and maintain bone, which is a living, everchanging tissue. Not only does calcium keep bones and teeth healthy, it also helps with clotting blood, sending signals between nerves and regulating heart rhythms. But if you fail to make calcium “deposits,” your body starts to pull calcium out of your bones and “overdraws your account.” Worse than a painful overdraft fee, however, this calcium imbalance can cause porous, weakened bones. This condition is called osteoporosis. In the United States, it affects eight million women and two million men, resulting in 1.5 million fractures each year. How much calcium do you need? It varies, depending on your age. Your preteen or teen needs more. Banking calcium at this stage is really like making an early investment in “retirement.” The National Academy of Sciences recommends: • 1,300 mg/day for children ages 9–18 • 1,000 mg/day for men and women ages 19–50 • 1,200 mg/day for men and women ages 50 or older • Some guidelines suggest 1,500 mg for postmenopausal women who don’t take estrogen. That’s because – due to a loss of estrogen at menopause – women start to have bone loss earlier than men. If you take calcium supplements, it’s best to divide the dose. Take half in the morning and half at night. Let us know if you have questions about different types of calcium. We can also discuss any medications that might interfere with calcium absorption. And we can give you tips on how to handle any calcium side effects, such as constipation or indigestion. To limit side effects, be sure to take no more than 2,000 mg daily. Foods rich in calcium include dairy products, dark leafy greens, dried beans, nuts and calcium-fortified foods, which may include orange juice, cereal and bread. Some recent studies suggest that food sources of calcium may be better than supplements. Last year, a study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that participants who got most of their calcium from diet had better bone density than those who got most it from supplements. It’s too soon to know why, but it might have to do with better absorption or other food compounds that enhance bone health. What else can you do to prevent bone loss as you age? Try weight-bearing exercise, such as walking or running, and get enough vitamin D. This vitamin helps your body absorb calcium. To get enough of it, you can spend at least 15 minutes in the sun several times a week. You can also take supplements or get food sources of vitamin D – in salmon, tuna or fortified milk, margarine, or cereal. Try to get 800 International Units (IU) daily, but no more than 2,000 IU, which can be toxic. Call us at Tequesta Drugs if you would like more information (561) 741-8222.

I never really bought into role and gender stereotypes. People might describe me as outgoing, self-sufficient even a problem solver. So, when my husband started a project in Miami I knew it would be a transition but felt like I could handle anything that came my way. On a cold day in January, the second day Rich was gone; my steely independence would be tested. While running a load of clothes, I heard a strange scratching noise coming from the dryer. It sounded like a zipper banging on the inside. I went about my business and never thought much more about it. The next day a foul odor started permeating the air in the laundry room. That’s when I knew I had a problem. The smell of death surrounded me and that death was in the form of a brown Rattus Norveqicus. The rodent, I later found out, had journeyed down my roof vent and tumbled all the way to the bottom where the hose meets the dryer connection in my laundry room. My husband is an accomplished, plumber, electrician, AC technician and all-around handyman. Thus, I never had the need to call anyone for help with such problems. Clearly, I needed help and knew I was out of my league. I got ahold of my neighbor, who referred me to his exterminating company and I waited for them to come to my rescue. When the exterminating company arrived, they searched the place and declared it rodent-free but wouldn’t touch the dryer. “Out of scope, we don’t do dryers,” they declared, as they zoomed off! Imagine my horror. There was something in my laundry room and I needed to get it out! After the exterminator left, I think I had a small breakdown and texted my husband to call me when he got a chance, saying it was nothing urgent. But it was getting more urgent by the minute. I ran across an old homeowners’ list of service contractors and started calling. About 10 calls later, I finally got ahold of a dryer cleaning company. I shared my plight, pleaded and he agreed to come out and take a look, but said it would cost me. At this point I would have paid a great deal to remove whatever was causing the smell. I quarantined the area but before I did, a large hideous green fly emerged and started buzzing about. Disgusting! My knight in shining armor arrived in a white van around 3 p.m. Together we tipped the dryer over, me tipping it from the front while he could peer into the vent. When he finally got behind it, he screamed, “There it is, I see it and it’s huge.” Now we were both screaming! What a scene, he left me holding the dryer tipped back toward me while he went to his work van to retrieve a gas mask. Where was my gas mask? Gagging he retrieved the vermin from the hose vent and carried it outside. Traumatized, I began running about cleaning, lighting candles, spraying Lysol, mopping the floor. I threw the mop out. I cleaned with Clorox again, and then threw another mop out. Our new dryer had become tainted forever in my mind. I didn’t know if I could ever go back in that room again. My new best friend from Green Home’s and I had a few laughs after it was all over. Having a sense of humor about such things always helps my disposition. Never in a million years did I think my first test would be a rat plague. When it comes to removing vermin, I concur … it’s a man’s world and they can have it!
