- State Board Of Education Approves New History Of Communism Standards | sun-times
State Board Of Education Approves New History Of Communism Standards South Florida Sun Times Dec 3, 2025 This Month The State Board Of Education Approved The New History Of Communism Standards, Marking A Significant Step To Strengthen The Already High-Quality Social Studies Standards Provided To Students. The Standards Were Developed By Florida Educators And Content Experts And Will Be Implemented Beginning In The 2026-2027 School Year. With The Adoption Of the History Of Communism Standards, Florida Is Leading The Nation By Equipping Students With A Truthful, In-Depth Understanding Of How Communist Ideologies Suppress Individual Freedoms, Abuse Power And Inflict Widespread Suffering. “With the resurgence of communist ideologies across the United States and throughout the world, it is more important than ever for students to understand the catastrophic failures and human suffering caused by communist regimes,” said Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas. “Florida’s new History of Communism standards will ensure that students learn the truth about the brutal realities of life under communism and gain a deeper appreciation for the blessings of liberty that define our nation.” “By adopting the History of Communism standards, we are equipping Florida’s students with an honest and rigorous understanding of how communist regimes exploited authority to erode freedoms and inflict generational harm,” said Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, State Board of Education Member. “The new standards will help our youth become better informed citizens prepared to safeguard our constitutional republic for future generations.” Governor Ron DeSantis recognized the need for Floridians, especially students, to learn about the dangers of communism and honor the 100 million individuals who lost their lives because of communist rule. In 2022, he signed House Bill 395 into law establishing Victims of Communism Day. The bill requires schools to provide at least 45 minutes of instruction on Victims of Communism Day, including teaching about communist regimes and how victims suffered under their rule through poverty, starvation, migration, systematic lethal violence and the suppression of speech and religion. In 2024, Governor DeSantis deepened this commitment by signing Senate Bill 1264 into law, expanding the Victims of Communism requirement to include comprehensive instructional of the full history and global impact of communism.

- A Port St. Lucie Man Is Beating BPH - He Took Control Of His Prostate Health With An Innovative Treatment Now Available Locally | sun-times
A Port St. Lucie Man Is Beating BPH - He Took Control Of His Prostate Health With An Innovative Treatment Now Available Locally South Florida Sun Times Jul 3, 2025 Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), Otherwise Known As An Enlarged Prostate, Affects An Estimated 40 Million Men Across The U.S. The Associated BPH Symptoms Typically Involve An Urgent Need To Urinate, Nocturia (Nighttime Urination), Bladder Damage, Urinary Tract Infections, Blood In The Urine, Incontinence And More – Which Significantly Impact A Man’s Quality Of Life. Despite Being Extremely Common, With BPH And Lower Urinary Tract Issues Affecting 70% Of Men 60-69 Years Of Age And 80% Of Those 70 Years Of Age Or Older, It's Rarely Discussed Openly. But One Port St. Lucie Man Wants To Change That. Dennis’ story – all too familiar for many men For years, 75-year-old Port St. Lucie retiree, Dennis Chaberd, had noticed he was experiencing an increase in needing to make frequent trips to the bathroom, interrupted sleep and discomfort, and other life-disrupting symptoms. He found his energy levels impacted during the day due to poor sleep and dreaded long car rides. Chaberd assumed it was just a normal part of getting older until he was eventually diagnosed with BPH. But even armed with a diagnosis, Chaberd tried various treatments, none of which provided him with relief from his symptoms. Chaberd’s story is all too common. Historically, many men have suffered in silence for health issues like BPH due to stigma or misinformation. In the past, men who sought interventional treatment for BPH faced burdensome options like a lifetime of daily medication, more invasive procedures including Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) or a Prostatectomy – all which carry different risks and side effects. Due to medical innovation, men now have more access to a wide range of options for symptom relief. A shift in BPH Treatment BPH is not life threatening, although it can lead to complications if left untreated. Some complications come on suddenly and can be painful, such as urinary retention, or an inability to urinate. Untreated BPH can also lead to lasting damage to the bladder because it stretches and weakens the bladder muscles. More serious complications include Bladder Stones and Kidney Damage. Fortunately, BPH is a treatable condition that can be effectively managed and help men return to enjoying their lives. Treatment options for BPH depend on the severity of symptoms and the impact on a man’s quality of life. They range from lifestyle changes and medications to minimally invasive or more invasive surgical interventions. Historically, medication was the next step in the progression to treat BPH symptoms, but that approach has started to shift in recent years. Medications are still widely used today, but due to their low efficacy, side effect profile – including impact on sexual function – and poor patient compliance, many urologists are providing other options for their patients right from the start. Beyond the issues mentioned earlier around medications, there has been some concern in the medical community that BPH medications only act as a Band-Aid for symptoms. Though they may provide some symptom relief for some people, they don’t address the underlying cause of the issue – bladder obstruction. And long-term bladder outlet obstruction creates pressure on the bladder, causing it to give out and may result in irreparable damage to the bladder. Thankfully for physicians and patients, and widely due to their demand for better treatment options, today there are a plethora of new and emerging minimally invasive treatment options that can be used alongside or in place of medication. New options – one size does not fit all At one time, a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) Surgical Procedure was considered the gold standard in BPH Treatments, but it is an Invasive Surgery and there are significant risks involved including sexual side effects, incontinence, bleeding, and a long recovery time. Patient and physician demand for better options has led to the creation of a new class of safe and effective, minimally invasive technologies that don’t cause the same side effects as medications, don’t negatively impact men’s sexual function and do address the root issue of Bladder Obstruction. This brand-new category of BPH treatments is often referred to as minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs). Some of the MIST options that are cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be safe and effective include the Optilume BPH Catheter System, a prostatic urethral lift, water vapor thermal therapy, and a temporarily implanted nitinol device. Many factors including severity of symptoms, Prostate size and medical history, come into play when evaluating MIST options, so it’s important to work closely with your urologist to find the best course of treatment for your specific situation. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), Otherwise Known As An Enlarged Prostate, Affects An Estimated 40 Million Men Across The U.S. The Associated BPH Symptoms Typically Involve An Urgent Need To Urinate, Nocturia (Nighttime Urination), Bladder Damage, Urinary Tract Infections, Blood In The Urine, Incontinence And More – Which Significantly Impact A Man’s Quality Of Life. Despite Being Extremely Common, With Bph And Lower Urinary Tract Issues Affecting 70% Of Men 60-69 Years Of Age And 80% Of Those 70 Years Of Age Or Older, It's Rarely Discussed Openly. But One Port St. Lucie Man Wants To Change That. Finally: Relief Chaberd finally found help when he met Dr. Christopher Hollowell, a Urologist at Z Urology Coral Springs, Florida, who recommended the new, minimally invasive Optilume BPH therapy. The one-time procedure offers a quick recovery, is safe and effective and doesn’t have any negative impact on sexual function, unlike some other BPH treatment options. Typically administered as an outpatient procedure, Optilume BPH is a drug-coated balloon that is inserted into the urethra via a cystoscopic camera, to the prostate. Once in the Prostate, the balloon expands creating an opening, and releases the safe and proven drug, Paclitaxel, into the open Prostate. When the drug coating is fully released, the balloon is deflated and removed. The drug prevents re-fusion of the lobes during healing, keeping the prostate open, restoring the flow of urine and relieving bothersome symptoms with no heating, burning, lasering, steaming or implantation. After his procedure, Chaberd saw results immediately. What’s more, he was finally able to comfortably resume his active lifestyle – jogging, golfing and spending time with friends – free of BPH symptoms. Now, Chaberd is passionate about getting the word out about Optilume BPH to help as many others as possible find relief like he has. No more suffering in silence: Help is available Having a good understanding of the many different treatment options available today is the key to finding relief and improving quality of life quickly, with as few side effects as possible while avoiding irreparable bladder damage. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of BPH, contact a Urologist for evaluation.

- Run With Purpose: Join JCS Team Blue Card For The 2027 Miami Marathon | sun-times
Run With Purpose: Join JCS Team Blue Card For The 2027 Miami Marathon Jewish Connection News Sep 10, 2026 On Sunday, January 31st, 2027, Runners From Across South Florida And Beyond Will Take To The Streets For The Life Time Miami Marathon & Half Marathon. Among Them Will Be A Team Running For Something Bigger Than A Finish Time: JCS Team Blue Card, A Group Of Runners Committed To Supporting Holocaust Survivors In The Miami-Dade Community. Organized by Jewish Community Services of South Florida (JCS), Team Blue Card gives runners the opportunity to turn every mile into meaningful support. By participating in the Miami Marathon or Half Marathon, team members help raise critical funds for Holocaust Survivors who are facing the growing challenges of everyday life. Last year, JCS Team Blue Card raised nearly $50,000. Those funds helped provide essential services and assistance to Survivors throughout the community. This year, the team is aiming to make an even greater impact—and every runner can play a part. Whether you are a seasoned marathoner, a dedicated half-marathon runner, or someone looking to take on your first major race, Team Blue Card welcomes you. The goal is not simply to cross the finish line. It is to help ensure that Holocaust Survivors can continue to live with dignity, security and independence in their own homes. Making Every Mile Count For many Holocaust Survivors living in Florida, rising inflation and the increasing cost of housing, utilities, food and medications have made it more difficult to make ends meet. Expenses that once seemed manageable can become overwhelming when they are living on fixed or limited incomes. JCS and The Blue Card work together to help address these needs by providing financial assistance and essential services to Holocaust Survivors. That support can make the difference between having to make an impossible choice and having the resources to meet basic needs. A donation raised through Team Blue Card can help a Survivor avoid having to choose between paying an electric or air-conditioning bill and paying rent, or between buying food and purchasing necessary medications. These are not abstract needs. They are the everyday realities facing members of a generation whose lives were forever changed by the Holocaust. By joining the team and fundraising, runners become part of a community effort to make sure Survivors are not left to face those challenges alone. A Team With a Mission Team members who participate in the Half Marathon commit to raising a minimum of $500. Full Marathon participants commit to raising at least $1,000. In return, runners receive fundraising support from JCS, a JCS Team Blue Card race shirt and the chance to participate in one of South Florida's signature running events while supporting an extraordinarily meaningful mission. For those who have ever wanted their miles to have a greater purpose, this is an opportunity to lace up and make a difference. Be Part of the 2027 Team The race may only last a few hours, but the impact of the funds raised can extend far beyond race day. Every training run, every fundraising conversation and every mile on Sunday, January 31st, 2027 can help provide vital assistance to Holocaust Survivors living in the Miami-Dade area. The finish line is only one part of the journey. The real measure of success is knowing that your effort helped someone in need live with greater dignity and peace. Registration for the Miami Full Marathon with JCS Team Blue Card is open, and runners are encouraged to reserve their spots. To learn more about joining JCS Team Blue Card and participating in the 2027 Life Time Miami Marathon & Half Marathon, contact Jake Rider at: jrider@JCSFL.org to learn more and reserve your spot. Run for the team. Run for the community. Run for the Survivors. About Bluecardfund.org The Blue Card was founded to respond to urgent need. Since its earliest beginnings in Germany and its reestablishment in the United States in 1939, the organization has remained focused on helping victims of Nazi persecution rebuild their lives and access essential support. Antisemitism intensified in the years before World War II. Jewish families faced growing discrimination across daily life, including employment, commerce, and access to opportunity. In 1934, The Blue Card was established by the Jewish community in Germany to help those already suffering under Nazi restrictions, business closures, and forced loss of livelihood. In 1939, the organization was reestablished in the United States to continue aiding refugees of Nazi persecution as they sought safety and a new beginning in America. How The Blue Card Got Its Name The organization’s name comes from the original blue paper cards issued to Jewish donors who contributed funds for individuals harmed by rising antisemitism before the war. Each contribution was marked with a stamp on the card, creating a visible record of generosity and shared responsibility. After the Holocaust, The Blue Card’s mission expanded to help survivors of the Shoah establish stable new lives in the United States. As the survivor population continues to age and shrink, the need for financial support grows more urgent. Since its inception, The Blue Card has remained committed to improving daily life for survivors and helping create a more secure future. Credit: bluecardfund.org Previous Next
- Your Medicare Roadmap: What To Know Before You Turn 65 | sun-times
Your Medicare Roadmap: What To Know Before You Turn 65 By Feature Impact May 14, 2026 Sixty-Five Is More Than A Number. It’s A Milestone. A Moment To Reflect On Where You’ve Been And Look Forward With Confidence To What Comes Next. For Millions Of Americans, Turning 65 Also Means Unlocking One Of The Most Valuable Benefits You’ve Earned: Medicare. The best is still ahead, and it starts with knowing your options. The official source for Medicare information: www.Medicare.gov , is here to help with clear, trusted information. The path to Medicare is not the same for everyone. Some people get Medicare automatically and others have to sign up. It depends on whether you are already getting Social Security. Either way, you’ll want to choose how you get your Medicare coverage. Get information for your path at: www.Medicare.gov , where you can find out when and how to enroll and explore your coverage options. Understanding Your Medicare Coverage Options When you first sign up for Medicare, you choose how to get your coverage. There are two main options: Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Original Medicare is health coverage provided directly by the Federal Government. It has two parts: • Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care and home health care. Most people pay no premium for Part A. • Part B (Medical Insurance) covers doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services (like screenings, vaccines and annual wellness visits) and durable medical equipment like wheelchairs and walkers. The standard Part B premium is $202.90 per month and is typically deducted from your Social Security check. With Original Medicare, you can visit any doctor or hospital in the U.S. that accepts Medicare. You can also add optional coverage to help manage costs: • Medigap (Supplemental Insurance) helps pay your share of Medicare costs. • Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage) helps pay for medications. Medicare Advantage is an alternative to Original Medicare that provides Part A and Part B and is offered by private insurers approved by Medicare. You still pay the Part B premium. Some plans charge an additional premium – though many carry a $0 plan premium and may even help cover part of your Part B cost. Most plans include in Part D drug coverage along with extra benefits like dental, vision and hearing. Keep in mind most plans require you to use doctors within the plan’s network. 5 Steps to Enroll with Confidence 1. Use official sources. Go to: www.Medicare.gov . Or call: 1 (800) MEDICARE for step-by-step, personalized guidance on coverage and enrollment. 2. Start early . You don’t have to wait until your birthday. Explore your options now so you’re ready when your enrollment window opens. 3. Know your enrollment path. Your path depends on your circumstances – some people are automatically enrolled and some are not. There are unique steps for people who are still working. 4. Avoid late enrollment penalties. Missing your enrollment window can result in a permanent premium penalty for both Part B and Part D. Signing up on time protects your wallet for years to come. 5. Compare plans and save . At: www.Medicare.gov , you can compare plan costs side-by-side, based on the specific drugs you take. A quick comparison could save you money each year. You can also confirm your current doctors are in-network before you choose a plan. Turning 65 is a milestone worth celebrating and it’s the perfect time to focus on what matters most: your health and well-being. That includes eating well, exercising and making sure you have health insurance that fits your needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan. What’s important is finding an option that works for you and your health and financial needs. Start your journey at: www.Medicare.gov – your roadmap to a healthier and confident future. Information provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Photos courtesy of Shutterstock Turning 65 is a milestone worth celebrating and it’s the perfect time to focus on what matters most: your health and well-being.
