Stressed at work? New 'Snuggle Delivery' service delivers adoptable puppies and kittens to cuddle Looking for an unforgettable way to boost morale in the office? Not everyone can reap the benefits of snuggling with puppies and kittens like employees of the Humane Society do at the shelter, so they came up with the idea to bring adoptable puppies and kittens to you at your office or workplace. Now you can schedule adoptable furry friends for a 'snuggle delivery' for a minimum donation of $150 to the shelter. Proceeds from this service will benefit all the homeless animals at the Humane Society of Broward County. Just a few minutes of cuddle time is a proven stress reliever during the day. According to an NBC News article, “preliminary results from a study show that a few minutes of stroking our pet dog prompts a release of a number of ‘feel good’ hormones in humans, including serotonin, prolactin and oxytocin. In addition, petting our pooches results in decreased levels of the primary stress hormone cortisol, the adrenal chemical responsible for regulating appetite and cravings for carbohydrates.” Snuggle Deliveries are currently only available to locations in Broward County during business hours Monday-Friday. They ask that you list a few dates that you’re available as our availability of puppies and kittens is never guaranteed. Visit http://humanebroward.com/ snuggles/ to sign your office up today.

reschedule, but it’s possible that the next date you choose may have the same situation arise.

Q: How many puppies/kittens do you bring? A. It depends on your company size.

Q: Are you willing to deliver snuggles outside of Broward County? A: Yes we are, but we’ll need to ask for a higher donation to make up for the extra staff time and mileage. We are asking for $100 per 20 miles outside of the Broward County line.

0-20 Employees – 5 puppies/kittens 21-50 Employees – 8 puppies/kittens 51-100 Employees – 10-12 puppies 101+ Employees – 12-13 puppies Please keep in mind that these numbers could change based on availability.

Q: What type of payment do you accept and when would you like to receive it. A: We’d prefer a check mailed to us in advance. Please send checks to… Humane Society of Broward County 2070 Griffin Rd. Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33312 Attn: Adam Goldberg

Frequently Asked Questions: Q: How long can you come to my office or workplace for? A: The delivery would last an hour to an hour and half. Depending on the size of your company, we could break that into multiple 10-15 minute sessions. Q: In addition to the minimum donation of $150, can you use donation items as well? A: Yes! We have a Wish List that we can always use items from. Q: How long is the session? A: We’d prefer an indoor area and a session would last 15-20 minutes. We can accommodate multiple sessions that would consist of an hour long visit. Q: Do you do this inside or outside? A: We’d prefer an indoor area, but could be open to an outdoor area depending on the space. This will be discussed on a case by case basis. Q: What if you don’t have any puppies or kittens available? A: We can bring an adult dog or two if this situation arises, but it’s rare that we don’t have any puppies or kittens. You can also

Public hearing set for April 14th to determine ordinance to govern transportation network companies Transportation Network Companies CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com (TNCs) remain a concern for the Broward County Commission. Many people like TNCs like Uber but taxi cab operators consider them to be unfair competition. The Broward Commission is working to identify standards for an ordinance that will govern these companies and has set April 14th as the date for public hearing for that proposed ordinance. The commissioners generally agreed to a proposal that would require TNCs to obtain an operating license. Drivers would have to register with the county and vehicles would have to carry operating permits and undergo inspections like taxi companies. TNCs would have to maintain a local office with a customer service telephone number and website under the proposal. TNCs are currently regulated under the County's motor carriers ordinance. Commissioners are now focusing on a broader, more comprehensive ordinance to specifically govern transportation network companies. Commissioners have individually

BY DAVID VOLZ

provided details of what they would like to see in the finalized version of the proposed TNC ordinance. Commissioners favored an ordinance that, in some areas, exceeds current county motor vehicle for hire requirements and regulations. Commissioners asked that the new ordinance require strict but efficient federal level two background checks for TNC drivers and discussed mechanical inspections by certified mechanics. Also discussed was a need for fare regulations, pick up fees at the airport and limiting the number of vehicles on the road, regulations that taxi companies now follow. Penalties for non-compliance may also be included in the new TNC ordinance. The Broward County Attorney's Office will also study the feasibility of an ordinance that would permit companies to use commercial vehicles not privately owned to operate under the same or similar rules such as TNCs using similar internet applications. Unlike taxi companies, TNCs use an internet application to match up drivers in private vehicles to customers who are seeking transportation. Broward County Commissioner Beam Furr supports transportation network companies like Uber if they are willing to

meet certain conditions. He believes these companies have something to offer consumers and that the competition they bring to the market will improve transportation in general. “I think Uber is an innovative platform. It is part of a wave of what people call the sharing economy which is manifesting itself in numerous ways,” said Furr. “For Uber drivers, it is a lifeline and helps them find jobs that were not available them. People are using technology to communicate quickly and bring services and people together.” The challenge is that this new technology is outpacing the current regulatory environment. And Furr believes these companies need to be regulated. He believes that all transportation network companies should undergo a background check, carry insurance and have their vehicles inspected for safety. “These are very low thresholds and I think drivers should be able to meet them,” said Furr. Another concern for Furr is that transportation network operators are not paying airport fees for picking up passengers at the airport. Taxi drivers are and this money is used to pay for the maintenance of the airport. He also concerned that if there are too many ride sharing companies at the airport,

there will be chaos there. But he believes that taxis with their long held monopoly should either expand the number of medallions granted to people or that more opportunities should be available to people who want to enter the business. “I think the competition has forced taxis to raise their game. They have enjoyed a monopoly and become complacent. Now we are seeing taxis push customer service, using apps and improving their cars,” said Furr. Negotiations among the taxi, limousine and transportation network companies are ongoing. Other concerns for Furr include the fact that too much garbage is now going to landfills rather than being incinerated. Furr also believes Broward County leaders need to establish more plans for the projected rise in sea levels. This may mean leaders will have look for different water resources and will have to prepare the beach areas for the rise in seawater. The April 14th public hearing on the TNC ordinance will take place at 2:00 p.m. at the Broward Governmental Center, 115 S. Andrews Avenue, Room 422 in Fort Lauderdale.

Hollywood Invaded by Crafting “Ducks”: The 5th Annual Odd Duck Bazaar

DOWNTOWN

BY COURTNEY BUTTERWORTH

TEEN CORRESPONDENT courtney.butterworth@ aquinas-sta.org

If you have strolled along the streets of Downtown Hollywood recently, you may have noticed colorful, yarn-covered bicycles. This is a part of the Broken Bike Project, as well as a signal that the fifth annual Odd Duck Bazaar will soon waddle into Hollywood! The Broken Bike Project began last year when artisans salvaged unwanted bikes and covered them in colorful patterns of yarn. The “Odd Ducks” have continued this new tradition this year as a way to add more art to Downtown Hollywood and to promote the upcoming event. Where does the quacking name come from? According to their website www.oddduckbazaar.com, since the artisans make unquie crafts and “strive to be different and stand out from the rest”, the creators thought the name was extrememely fitting. The Odd Duck Bazaar is home to approximately seventy different independent artisans and is a fun experience the whole family can

enjoy! The bazaar is completely family friendly, and has previously featured fun activities such as doit yourself crafts, facepainting, photo booths, and live music, so this year can be expected to be just as entertaining! Artisans from Hollywood have been hand selected to participate in this great event and will be selling unique handmade items, food, art, and much more. This is a great way for artisans to promote themselves and their business while strengthening the art and culture of their community. The Odd Duck Bazaar will be held at the Fred Lippman Center, 2030 Polk Street, in the newly bicycleclad Downtown Hollywood on April 11th and 12th, from 12pm-6pm each day. There is a five dollar admission fee for adults, and kids under the age of twelve are free. Visitors may want to 'duck in' early, because the first fifty shoppers each day will get a free “swag bag” filled with goodies! If you attend the Odd Duck Bazaar, snap a quacktastic picture and post it to Instagram with the hashtag “HGOddDuck”

Odd Duck Bazaar is happening April 11th & 12th, 2015 at the Fred Lippman Center, 2030 Polk Street, downtown Hollywood from noon to 6pm. $5 admission and children under 12 are free. A free swag bag will be given to the first 50 shoppers each day.

Homeless shelter on Federal Highway officially closed; city's homeless coordinator settles into new position Sean Cononie is moving his COSAC dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com homesless shelter and Homeless Voice operation to an undisclosed location in central Florida. The homeless shelter that he ran at 1203 Federal Highway officially closed Friday, March 27. Cononie will led about 100 people on buses to an undisclosed location in central Florida. “The people who are going to central Florida are self-sufficient,” said Cononie. "The place we are moving to could hold more residents but we won’t have as many in the beginning.” A number of people associated with Cononie’s program will remain in Broward County. Cononie has property in Dania Beach and areas of unincorporated Broward County. He hopes to also house people in a Fort Lauderdale hotel. A small group of homeless people will remain in the Hollywood area. Cononie ran a homeless shelter operation at 1203 Federal Highway for years. He and residents of the facility raised money for the operation by selling the Homeless Voice newspaper. Over time, the homeless operation became controversial and Hollywood residents, business owners and leaders complained about the facility

and the residents who would come and go from it. Recently the City of Hollywood agreed to pay Cononie about $4.8 million to vacate its properties and not return for 30 years. It is anticipated that the property will be demolished and redeveloped. During meetings, Hollywood commission members said they wanted the land to be used for other purposes. Right now, Cononie and leaders of his organization are in the process of moving and saying good bye to Hollywood. Meanwhile, Laurie-Anne Walton is learning her position as homeless coordinator for the City of Hollywood. She is helping people who have found themselves homeless and want help. She has also learned to work with people who are more comfortable living outside. Walton is looking for ways to help those left behind from the COSAC shelter relocation and others. “I am placing some into assisted living facilities and am finding shelters for homeless people. I am helping them find jobs so they rent apartments. I can also provide bus transportation for the homeless,” said Walton. She is also working with the long term homeless, people who simply prefer living outside. She met with a Vietnam

The homeless problem may never completely go away. But Walton is doing what she can to help those without places to live.

Funtastic Friday goes 'green' for Earth Day April 24

Shakti Dance class offered at the Goddess Store April 26 Celebrates Earth Day & Arbo

Renowned teacher brings SHAKTI DANCE™ the YOGA of DANCE to South Florida

Dharma Devi Kaur a recognized teacher living in Los Angeles is coming to South Florida the weekend of April 24-26 to share the powerful Shakti Dance™: the Yoga of Dance. Dharma Devi is a lifelong yoga practitioner, Kundalini yoga teacher, dancer, spiritual teacher and healer. She was trained as a classical Indian dancer before training and becoming one of the lead trainers of Shakti Dance™. She moved from Italy to Los Angeles in 2011, and facilitates classes, workshops and Teacher Training courses in the U.S. and Canada. She is the director of

Shakti Dance Training program in the U.S. She will be introducing students to the Yoga of Dance, which is the fusion between the creativity of dance and the wisdom of yoga. It is inspired by Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan - Master of Kundalini Yoga - and has been founded by Sara Avtar Olivier from England. This is a new wave of blended exercise, yoga, dance and meditation hitting our shores as there are currently no certified teachers of Shakti Dance™ in Florida. “I’ve been waiting for this for such a long time!” says Carmen Garzon owner of The Goddess Store in Hollywood. Dharma Devi will be teaching at Synergy Yoga in Miami Beach on Saturday April 25, and The Goddess Store Dowtown Hollywood, Sunday, April 26. More locations are currently being booked on the tour. Students who would like to further their studies with Dharma Devi, can sign up for her 220hr Teacher Training starting in August at The Goddess Store.

BREAST CANCER IS ALL WE DO Memorial Cancer Institute Opens New Breast Center Women’s Imaging — Memorial is considered a national expert in leading-edge 3-D mammography. Breast Cancer Navigators — From diagnosis through treatment to survivorship, navigators can schedule fast doctor appointments, help with insurance or payment issues, and answer questions about treatment options.

by L. Kenneth Barnett Commissioner South Broward Hospital District d.b.a. Memorial Healthcare System

Are you a woman who takes a yoga class, participates in a car pool, or works in an office with, say, seven other women? If so, look around: One of you will develop breast cancer during her llfetime. That’s about 12 percent of all US women. The good news is that the five-year survival rate is more than 90 percent when breast cancer is caught early. Yet it remains a complex disease: Early screening, timely intervention, and a clear understanding of the driving force behind it are all equally important. And patients with or at high risk of breast cancer require fast and accurate diagnoses, evidence-based treatments, access to the latest clinical trials, and — above all — compassionate care throughout their journey to survivorship.

Breast Care A One-Stop Resource for Breast Cancer Care To address these needs for the women South Florida (and beyond), Memorial Cancer Institute has opened its new Breast Cancer Center at Memorial Regional Hospital. The Breast Cancer Center combines the full array of medical, surgical and radiation oncology services — offering streamlined, coordinated care to breast cancer patients in one convenient location. Memorial Cancer Institute’s Breast Cancer Center’s comprehensive services include: Genetics Program — Memorial offers women at high risk of developing breast cancer strategies to lower their risk and monitoring, including testing and counseling, based on their medical and family histories.

APRIL 2015

Access to Research and Clinical Trials — Memorial Cancer Institute has research relationships with national leaders like the TRIO (Translational Research in Oncology) Network at UCLA, the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology and the Sarah Cannon Research Institute, to offer novel treatment approaches and new drugs. Image Recovery Center — This unique, spa-like retreat offers supportive services to help cancer patients look and feel good. Memorial Cancer Institute’s Breast Cancer program is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Cancers (NAPBC) and the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer. The center is also a member of the National Consortium of Breast Centers.

Your Partner in Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment No matter what breast cancer services patients use, they can be sure that Memorial Cancer Institute is taking cancer care to the next level, working hard every day to enhance the patient experience. As a member of the Board of Commissioners of the South Broward Hospital District, I’m proud that the new Breast Cancer Center at Memorial Regional Hospital offers our patients from South Florida, across the country and all over the world such world-class service — and the knowledge that at whatever point in their journey, Memorial Cancer Institute is on their side.

McArthur High School Principal earns recognition

McArthur High School Principal Todd LaPace received a greatly coveted award last month. He was named Florida Association of Student Councils Principal of the Year for 2014 – 2015. What makes this award so special is that Student Government Association leaders worked very hard to ensure that he received it. “I think that the students here appreciate the amazing culture we have at McArthur High School,” said LaPace. Student leadership is something that LaPace strongly encourages. He is proud that the number of student organizations

at McArthur has increased from about 25 to more than 60 in a short time. “I want to see pride in leadership and there are many opportunities for students to become leaders at McArthur,” said LaPace. As a principal LaPace does not want to be someone that spends most of his day in an office. He wants to be in the halls and visiting classrooms getting to know teachers and students. He wants to be accessible and he insists on having an open door policy. LaPace wants students and faculty to be comfortable in approaching him if they have a concern or a goal they want to accomplish. “I believe in the teachers and students at McArthur. We have a dynamic staff here. I value my staff and I want to build strong relationships with people here. We have a great Student Government Association and we have students who are doing well,” said LaPace.

depth they were growing in the original container. Thin seedlings started in individual containers as needed. If you planted several seeds in each small container remove all but the healthiest one. Prune the weaker seedlings to ground level, so the remaining seedling can develop into a strong transplant for the garden. Continue to grow your plants in a sunny window or under artificial lights and water thoroughly and often enough to keep the soil slightly moist. Soon it will be time to move your homegrown transplants into the garden.

Starting hard to find plants, like many of the heirloom or newly introduced varieties, from seed may be the only way you will be able to add these to your garden.

Fill the containers with a sterile well-drained potting mix or seed starting mix. Once the containers are filled, plant the seeds according to the seed packet directions. For most seeds, plant them twice their diameter deep and gently water. Continue to water often enough to keep the soil slightly moist.

APRIL 2015

April is National Donate Life Month National Donate Life Month was established in 2003. Every day in April, people across the U.S. make a special effort to celebrate the tremendous generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, tissue, marrow, and blood donors and to encourage more Americans to follow their fine example. Just one organ donor may save up to 8 lives through organ donation and enhance many others through tissue donation. Last year alone, organ donors made more than 28,000 transplants possible. Another one million people received cornea and other tissue transplants that helped them recover from trauma, bone damage, spinal injuries, burns, hearing impairment and vision loss. Unfortunately, thousands die every year waiting for a donor organ that never comes. You have the power to change that. Donate Life Florida is a non-profit 501(C)3 organization contracted by the State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration to create the state’s organ, tissue and eye donor registry. Donate Life Florida is dedicated to motivating Floridians to designate themselves as organ, tissue and eye donors, so lives are saved and enhanced through donation and transplantation. Donate Life Florida was established in 1997 by all Florida organ, tissue and eye donor programs in operation at the time under the name Florida Coalition on Donation. Among its signature programs is the awardwinning college campaign, Get Carded. Today, more than 5,200 patients listed

at Florida transplant centers await life-saving need for life saving organ transplants. Many of these individuals transplants. may get a second chance at life due to the If you already generosity of those who designate themselves have “organ donor” as organ, tissue and eye donors on Florida’s on your driver organ and tissue donor Registry. license, you still are The Joshua Abbott Organ and Tissue encouraged to join Donor Registry was created in 2009 to allow the new registry to Floridians an easy, user-friendly means of ensure your previous joining the state’s Registry.

Broward Passes Resolution Opposing Concealed Weapons on College Campuses Broward County Commissioners are urging Florida state legislators to reject all bills that would allow guns and other weapons on college campuses. The resolution adopted today opposes Florida Senate Bill 176 and House Bill 4005, which would allow anyone with a concealed weapons permit to bring

APRIL 2015

concealed weapons on to college campuses. Commissioner Stacy Ritter brought the issue forward. "These bills defy logic. This seems so egregious that I wanted us to vote publicly on this and I would like the Florida Association of Counties to take a stand on this as well," said Commissioner Ritter.

The resolution was passed by commissioners last month on an eight to one vote with Commissioner Chip LaMarca voting against the item. "Our Second Amendment rights must be protected and preserved at all levels of government. I support the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear

arms as their constitutional right. We must enforce the current gun laws and work to change the culture of v iolence so that we do not have more tragedies in our communities such as those occurred at Florida State University and Virginia Tech." The resolution notes that the Board of Governors of Florida's State University System and all police chiefs of twelve state universities have issued joint statements opposing the bills. Former Florida senator and current Florida State University President John Thrasher also opposes guns on campuses. "Mr. Thrasher and I may be on opposite ends of the political spectrum, but on this we agree. He opposed this while serving on the senate and now as FSU President," said Commissioner Ritter. The resolution refers to the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 that killed 27 students and five professors, wounding 17 others and the 2014 Florida State University shooting where three people were shot a campus library before the gunman was killed by police. Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Franklin Adderley are also named in the resolution as opponents of concealed weapons on college campuses. Florida is one of twenty states that ban carrying concealed weapons on college campuses. Other states banning the practice are California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. Passage of the resolution directs the County Administrator to notify the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, the President of the Florida Senate, the Broward Legislative Delegation, the Florida League of Cities and all Broward cities of the Board's action. The Broward Commission also voted to notify the Florida Association Counties.
