EDITOR’S NOTE
New Year,
New Attitude
I saw Sid Marcus two weeks after he had triple by-pass
surgery. What was he doing at the time? Lying in a hospital
bed? Putting his feet up while relaxing at home? No way!
Looking quite dapper and smiling ear-to-ear, he was doing
card tricks at our table at Benvenuto’s Restaurant, while
waiting for a show to begin. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even
know he’d had open-heart surgery until he told me. I was
amazed at the speed of his recovery. Did I mention that Sid
Marcus is 83 years old?
I knew that for many years, he’d been a motivational
speaker, spreading his jewels of positive thinking and joie de
vivre all over the world. What I now believe, because I saw
evidence of his rapid recovery with my own eyes, is that this
positive attitude stuff really must work. It didn’t take me long
to realize that his story should be shared with our readers, so
I asked him to write it. And the timing was perfect, because
we were able to publish his column right on page 74 of our
Annual Medical and Health issue.
To ring in the New Year, in this our first of issue of 2007,
we’ve covered health care from every angle. We’ve featured a
wealth of articles about body, mind and spirit. You’ll find
stories on new medical procedures, exercise and diet, the
business and politics of health care, health-related book
reviews, and wines that are good for you. We’ve covered the
gamut from pre-natals to senior citizens, from working out to
sipping chicken soup. You’ll be reading about babies,
students, singles, Olympic hopefuls, hikers and swimmers,
equestrians and pets.
And you’ll still see favorites like artwalks, travel, theatre
and restaurant reviews, outdoor living, home decor, sports
and school news. We’ve also continued our coverage of the
upcoming Coral Springs Festival of the Arts, spotlighting
two more authors who will be giving free workshops.
And wait until you see who’ll be performing at the Festival’s
benefit concert at the Coral Springs Center for
The Performing Arts.
Because the New Year is a time for renewal, we thought our
magazine deserved a makeover too. We think that our
January issue, with its fresh new format, and loaded with new
information on a such a vast variety of topics, is a great way to
start the year 2007. We hope you’ll think so too. And we’d like
to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very
Happy and an especially Healthy New Year from Jack and
Sharon Kornreich, members of our editorial, art and sales
departments, office staff and Maggie the dog.
Warmly,
Ellyn Laub
