Cont?d from page 4 repeatedly hassled by Disney World employees over his high-tech wheelchair. It seems employees mistook it for a two-wheeled Segway device, which is forbidden there. ?I was totally harassed by Disney World,? says Rosner, who despite an apology by Disney plans a lawsuit. Sklar Returns: It has been five years since Elliot Montgomery Sklar left Montreal to study in Miami, Florida. His journey culminated in 2008 when he became the first student at Florida International University (FIU) to earn a Ph.D. in public health. The 29-year-old Sklar had already earned a master?s in integrated marketing communication from FIU when he enrolled in the doctoral program at the Robert Stempel School of Public Health. He was one of 20 students in the inaugural class in the fall of 2005, and the first to graduate from the Health and Disease Prevention track. Sklar presently has a consulting practice in Aventura and is a health program manager in the Miami public school system. His real forte is weight loss and body management. Sklar is in tip-top condition, weighing in at 135 pounds. Only a decade ago, while attending Bialik High School, he tipped the scales at over 300 pounds. His intent now is to return to Montreal in the spring ?For one thing I want better health care,? he says. ?I believe I will get that in Montreal. I came back last month for a simple hernia surgery which would have cost me $2,500 in Florida.? MIAMI NOTES: Sun Life Financial, which once had its headquarters in Montreal, is in serious discussions with the Miami Dolphins about acquiring naming rights to Land Shark Stadium? Former Expos owner Jeffrey Loria is not too popular in Miami, where he owns the Major League Baseball?s Florida Marlins. A new 37,000 seat ballpark is now under construction in the area known as Little Havana. Leave it to Loria, for he does not have to pay most of the $645 million tab. Public dollars are covering $490 million. Taxpayers are reportedly fuming? Brandon Kader, one of the star deejays for Global Events, was resting in Florida over the holidays. Brandon just graduated from university and is the campus coordinator for Concordia, McGill and Dawson for Hillel. His dad is noted travel agent Harvey Kader ?Spotted boarding a flight to Fort Lauderdale was immigration lawyer and former Liberal MNA, Harry Blank.
