Patricia Brown is the new South Broward High School Principal

South Broward High REPORTER dtv@gate.net School has a new principal. Patricia “Patty” Brown will lead the school and is looking forward to helping teachers and students achieve success. During the previous year, Brown was an intern at South Broward and gained valuable hands-on experience. Previously she was an assistant principal at Coral Springs High School. She was second in command and worked with the seniors and the master schedule. “I 'm looking forward to leading the school and I want to make sure the students are college, career and life ready,” said Brown. “It is important that we have strong academics, security and safety.” Brown believes it is important to focus on the whole student. She is leading a new magnet program known as iCAN which enables students to select courses in areas that interest them. This means a student could focus on fine arts, hospitality and tourism, engineering, childcare and many other academic areas. Also, South Broward has a strong and well-known Marine Magnet program which prepares students for high paying careers in marine technology. BY DAVID VOLZ

Students gain extensive knowledge and experience in repairing boat engines. The Cambridge program is also strong and prepares students for college and to think globally. “I want students to get a better jump on college. I want them to be prepared for the real world. I want them to be able to do a job interview, give a proper handshake and learn how to close a conversation well,” said Brown. Brown recognizes that teenagers today deal with a wide range of social and emotional issues. “This is why it is important for teachers to receive social and emotional training and deal with the whole child,” she said. Before becoming a school administrator, she was a peer counseling coordinator and guidance director at Deerfield Beach Middle School. She has two master’s degrees one in counseling and the other in psychological counseling from Columbia University in New York, New York. “I want to create an environment that students, teachers, staff and parents are happy to come to. I want students and teachers to feel challenged and I want to improve their personal and professional selves. I feel it is my job to be everybody’s number one cheerleader.”

'Sea Turtles and their Babies' Program Runs Through Aug. 30

Sea turtle nesting season in Broward County typically runs through September 30 as they make their way to our shores to lay their eggs in the sand. The process takes hours for the turtle, and once she buries the eggs, she leaves and does not return. The eggs incubate for about two months, and then the hatchlings make their way out of the nest. Anne Kolb Nature Center's annual Sea Turtles and Their Babies program includes a presentation and lecture, followed by a release of hatchling (pending availability, which is not guaranteed). The program is offered through

through August 30. Admission is $10/person for all ages. Each session is limited to 50 people, and preregistration and prepayment are required by reserving online. To register go to http://webtrac. broward.org and click on the picture of the sea turtle under “seasonal” and then click on the picture of the sea turtle again under “Sea Turtles and Their Babies Program.” You must create an account if you do not already have one to purchase tickets. If you would like to register for more than six participants, please call 954-357-5161 Ext 0.

letter to the community... Just got back from the beach where one of our hunky Hollywood lifeguards re-enacted the landing, right here in Hollywood, of John Fairfax after he solo-rowed across the Atlantic 50 years ago. You may have read about it in our last issue. The exciting event was just one of the many things produced by our trusty Hollywood Historical Society, which we proudly profile in this issue. And if you're inspired to come out and support the HHS at a fun event, join our friend Scott Evans at Runas on Aug. 27 (see event flyer on the right --> ). This months cover girls Lucia Tobon and Dr. Tina Jules were participants in Memorial Cancer Institute and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital's fashion show featuring current cancer patients and survivors as runway models. Each model was accompanied in the spotlight by someone critical to their battle, including doctors, parents, and child life specialists. It was a night those affected by cancer made a statement that the disease wouldn’t define who they were. As summer winds down, thoughts turn to improving our world here in Hollywood. Local merchants are reinventing the Downtown Hollywood Business Association to promote our business climate, Hollywood Restaurant Shenanigans had a great event to save our beloved giant turtles, and if you haven’t heard about it yet, just wait until you read about what’s in store for the future of Young Circle! So before you get the kids back to school and you get back into your regular routines, we invite you to sit back, savor the last days of our very steamy summer, and of course, enjoy the issue.

July 2019 Month in Review All of these projects are General Obligation Bond projects. Commission Approves Site Plan for 911 Tower at West Lake Park During a recent meeting the Hollywood Commission agreed to approve a site plan at West Lake Park for a 911 tower following a long discussion phase. Residents spoke in favor of placing the antennas on the Circ Hotel. This decision by the commission means that the city has complied with the inter-local agreement between the Hollywood Commission and the Broward Commission to approve the site plan. An independent expert will be hired to study the situation and make a recommendation on where the radio equipment should ultimately be placed. If the expert agrees that the tower should be placed at West Lake Park, then the site plan will be approved so construction can take place. The Hollywood Commission wants the antenna system on the Circ Hotel and the Broward County Commission want the 911 tower at West Lake Park. Rodolfo Jurado Named Hollywood’s New Fire Chief Rodolfo (Rudy) Jurado was recently appointed to Hollywood Fire Chief by City Manager Wazir Ishmael. “Chief Jurado has served with integrity and professionalism since joining the City of Hollywood in 1996,” Wazir wrote in a letter announcing his appointment. Some of his accomplishments have included overseeing the transition and migration of regional 911 communications, integration of electronic scheduling and timekeeping software, procurement and design of fire department apparatus and equipment, coordination of mutual aide agreements with Pembroke Pines & the Seminole Tribe as well as effectively managing and supervising the Fire Rescue and Beach Safety Department as the Deputy Fire Chief since 2016. Chief Jurado has risen through the ranks with Hollywood Fire/Rescue, working in a variety of assignments and functioning as the Incident commander for major incidents involving Hazardous Materials, Special Operations, Fire Suppression and EMS,” according to Ishmael. Chief Jurado is currently working to achieve a Bachelor’s Degree in Fire Administration from Columbia Southern University with a specialty in Fire Investigations and Prevention. He also holds a variety of certifications

including Certified Firefighter, Emergency Medical Technician, Paramedic, Fire Officer, Fire Instructor II, and Hazardous Materials Technician. Chief Jurado’s expertise, passion, and commitment to the City make him the most qualified choice, according to Ishmael. Plans to Alleviate Traffic on Young Circle Include Roundabouts and a Redesign to Have Traffic Run in Both Directions. City leaders have expressed concern about traffic problems at Young Circle and the fact that it is not pedestrian friendly. During a recent Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce breakfast, Jorge Camejo, the executive director for the Hollywood CRA gave a presentation on planned improvements at Young Circle. An important goal is to create more roundabouts instead of traffic signals to calm fast-moving traffic. Also, there will be an effort to create a more park like atmosphere. The roads will be redesigned so that traffic will run in both directions. A goal will be made to make Young Circle more accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. Another important objective is to make Young Circle a destination for people in the region. The redevelopment for Young Circle will cost millions of dollars.

Mardi Gras Celebration Returns to Hollywood February 2020 Downtown Hollywood will once again host a Mardi Gras Celebration with a festival and parade on February 23, 2020 from 1 to 7 p.m.. The festival will feature live music, a king and queen costume contest, plenty of great food and drinks, and street vendors. The parade will have krewes, marching bands, and endless beads. From 1935 to 1967, and then again from 1995 to the early 2000’s, Hollywood was the Mardi Gras celebration destination for locals and visitors alike, with tens of thousands participating in the festivities. Local business owners, Phil Marrow, Kate Reed, Mark Rowe, and Don and Wendy Weimer are producing the event, in conjunction with the support of downtown businesses and many local community organizations. “For Decades, the original Fiesta Tropicale was a huge event in Hollywood, seeing 100,000 celebrants in its

final year, 1967” stated Don Weimer of AR Workshop Hollywood. “Revived in the late 90’s through the early 2000’s as Fiesta Tropicale South Florida Mardi Gras, the celebration again drew tens of thousands over the multi-day event” Weimer continued. “Downtown Hollywood is going through a renaissance, with a cool artisan vibe, and many new businesses. There is no better time than now to bring back Mardi Gras. Let the good times roll.”

Phil Marrow and Kate Reed from 66 Productions, the primary promoter of the event, had this to share: Reed stated, “We are thrilled to work with Mark, Don, Wendy, and other businesses to bring Mardi Gras Downtown Hollywood to life. The Festival and Parade will be a free event, featuring live music, activities for kids, a crawfish boil, king cakes, street vendors, costume contests, plenty of food and drinks, and of course beads and doubloons.”

“I am a life-long resident of Hollywood, and both Kate and I are committed to making this the best Mardi Gras Celebration East of New Orleans,” Marrow added. “We will be offering VIP experiences, a unique Passport Program, and a series of weekly parties leading up to the big day”. Mark Rowe, owner of Micky Byrne’s Iris Pub in Downtown, said, “I am part of the New Hibernians of Hollywood, a non-profit dedicated to growing Downtown. We sponsor Hollyweird, our annual Halloween celebration, and of course the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Being a part of Mardi Gras Downtown Hollywood is a perfect fit.” “This will ultimately be the biggest event in Downtown,” Rowe concluded.

HISTORY

Hollywood Historical Society:

Keeper of the Tales of All Old Hollywood BY ROBIN KERR DRULARD COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENT robin@hollywoodgazette.com

t 1520 Polk Street, across from the historic Hollywood Beach Golf Course, sits another of Hollywood’s historic treasures: it’s the Hammerstein House & Research Center, the former home of Clarence P. “Hamm” and Vera Hammerstein, who dwelled in the beautiful home from the 1930s until Clarence’s death in 1986, when he left it to the city of Hollywood to become the home of the Hollywood Historical Society. Actually, according to Hollywood attorney Victor deBianchi, Hamm made

Patti Clempson, Board Member, In-House Local Historian

this arrangement while he was still alive, allowing the Historical Society (HHS) to hold meetings and begin collecting Hollywood photos and documents in the Al Vessella Assembly Room, a former garage on the back of the property, while he lived out the rest of his life in the main house rent-free. Since then, the city has honored this agreement, leasing the entire property to the HHS for $1 a year. In exchange, the HHS, a completely member-supported

“The Hammersteins, though well-to-do, were also both kleptomanics, and were banned from many Hollywood restaurants! After Hamm’s death, while cleaning out the house, we found tons of old silverware, dinnerware, napkins, and all kinds of stuff from various Hollywood restaurants and clubs." -Victor deBianchi

501(c)(3) non-profit cultural and educational organization, keeps it pretty much as it was when Hamm and Vera lived Marion Fording, Board Member, Treasurer, there, welcomes vistors for tours throughResearcher out the year, and is the keeper of the memories and the history of our city, and the go-to resource for information on all things in Hollywood’s past. “As a law clerk and associate of Ellis Spencer and Butler, the second oldest law firm in the city of Hollywood, in the ‘70s,” said DeBianchi, “I was very honored and lucky to be given the task to work with the Hollywood Historical Society. Clarence Hammerstein was also a client Lesley Lee Yuen, Archivist and Mary Beth Busutil, of the company, and I became his guardArchivist and past President ian and personal representative. When he 12

died at 92, the house became the property of the city and the Hollywood Historical Society.” DeBianchi then revealed a “wellknown secret” among Hollywood oldtimers: “The Hammersteins, though wellto-do, were also both kleptomanics, and were banned from many Hollywood restaurants! After Hamm’s death, while cleaning out the house, we found tons of old silverware, dinnerware, napkins, and all kinds of stuff from various Hollywood restaurants and clubs." “A lot of people will laugh when they read that,” he chuckled. DeBianchi remains on the board of the HHS and is still considered the pro bono attorney. He has also served as secretary of the now-defunct Broward County Historical Board.

Jean Morford, Board Member, Researcher, Membership Chair

What does the Historical Society do? The HSS is the collector, preserver and sharer of all history and memorabilia of Hollywood, said Karen Albertson, president. According to the official mission statement, its goal is also to educate and encourage public awareness of Hollywood’s heritage, and to pass on an enduring community to succeeding generations. The society now owns over 25,000 Hollywood historical items, mostly held in the Assembly Room, which serves as its office and archive. There, a small band of volunteers ongoingly catalog, organize, archive and update their database of everything that has been, and continues to be, collected. “Let me take you through it,” said Dr. Joan Mickelson, PhD, historian, volunteer archivist and frequent lecturer and researcher for the HSS. She indicates the first of many file cabinets lining the walls. “These are sorted by category. Next, those are the people, and then those are the buildings. Over there, we have a group of oral histories taken from 26 people back in 1976, by a reporter from the Miami Herald. “Over there,” she continued, “that cabinet is the Sun-Tattler morgue, all articles cut and filed alphabetically. And

we have fire department logs, those were being thrown out.” “Did you see our Hollywood SunTattlers?” interjected Patti Clempson, the HHS In-House Historian. “They were about to throw them away too. We have every issue they ever printed, bound in hardcover, and they were on the way out, and Pat Smith got them.”

in The Beginning Long-time Hollywood resident Patricia M. Smith was one of the first members and the second president of the HHS, and many people credit her unstinting efforts for the success of the original collection. She collected, organized, and cataloged items since the beginning, in 1974. “She did it all,” Mickelson said. “That’s why we call her the Curator Emeritus.” Now officially Director Emeritus and living in Stuart, Pat Smith recalled the early days of the Hollywood Historical Society. “We started with three or four ladies,

we had a suitcase with some things that some people had donated and that was the beginning of the collection,” recalled Smith. “And then some of us started getting together and having meetings, then we got Hammerstein House for our meeting place, and we started collecting stuff and people gave us all kinds of things and we started putting it all together and we had a Historical Society! “I feel great that it’s going on this long and it’s still thriving and that there are still people that are interested in it and that it’s kept up this long and that people are still donating stuff,’ she added. “Especially as the kids grow up and the grandkids grow up. We didn’t want it all to disappear.”

The Life of a Donation When an item is donated to the Society, the donor fills out a form with all the information that they have about it, and confirming that they have the right to donate it. The archivists then enter the information into the archiving program, scan in the photos, and cross-reference all the data by name, location, description and keywords. In between new items, they work on things already in house. When the Hollywood Gazette does its Hollywood History stories, it often goes to the Hollywood Historical Society for information or fact checks. Usually, 14

our writer or editor sends a note with a quick question, and Dr. Mickelson sends a quick answer, and the editor proceeds with the story. Then, a day or two later, comes a beautiful, detailed answer that usually causes the editor to go back to the computer and update whatever has already been written. Here we would like to pay homage to the unsung heroes of the HHS, the research team. At the heart of the team are volunteer researchers and cataloguers Lesley Lee Yuen and Mary Beth Busutil, often aided by board members Marion Fording and Jean Morford. These women give tirelessly of their time, digging through the society’s multiple resources to get to the facts. First, they go to their database of accessioned items, searchable by names, topics, keywords, and more. Then they search the newspapers: Hollywood SunTattlers, which ran from 1943 to 1995; Hollywood Reporters, the magazine which Joseph Young published from 1922 to 1924; and the Hollywood Herald, which was published in the mid ‘30s. Next, they go to the Florida Historic Site Files, which catalog primarily buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, the SunTattler morgue, which are clippings filed alphabetically; and city directories. Next they check every book written about Hollywood, which they have in house, and of course, the multiple file

cabinets. In a day or two, comes that beautiful detailed answer.

Space Quest Every non-profit has a wish list. What’s on the top of the list for the Hollywood Historical Society? “Space,” said Albertson. “Space” said Mickelson. “A new place,” echoed all the board members, the researchers, the fundraisers, the historians. More space, they explained, would allow them to collect and display more things, have more lectures, more exhibitions. Space for more people, more desks and more computers to speed up the archiving, said the head archivist. Meanwhile, the HHS continues running tours of the house where Hamm and Vera lived (and collected their silverware and napkins from all the local

eateries), and traveling exhibitions. It continues its series of fascinating lectures throughout the year, held at other sites around town, and partnering with other Hollywood non-profits for fun and interesting events. And of course, the Hollywood Historical Society continues to invite anyone who loves or is interested in Hollywood history to become a member, and it is still accepting as much Hollywood Historical memorabilia as possible, whatever it can fit in the space it has. Contact the The Hollywood Historical Society at P.O. Box 222755, Hollywood, FL 33022, 954-923-5590, or http://www.hollywoodhistoricalsociety. org, or on Facebook. Founding member Patricia Smith would love to hear from her old friends at 865-315-4274.

Cancer Patients & Survivors Make a Statement at Fashion Show in Hollywood

Antonella and Yurika Penichet

Tori Hinton, Zoe Vargas

Memorial Cancer Institute and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital recently presented a fashion show featuring current cancer patients and survivors as runway models. With clothes provided by Macy’s, cancer patients and survivors took an emotional walk on the runway, escorted by those most important to them during their

medical journey. It was an evening to celebrate life, treatment milestones, and the empowerment of those whose lives have been impacted by the disease. The celebration was part of “National Cancer Survivors Day” and an element of Memorial’s comprehensive survivorship program, which supports patients at all stages of the recovery process. Research has shown

that patients who have a support system have better outcomes than those primarily battling on their own. Patients and survivors as young as 17 months and as old as 79 years of age commanded the spotlight, accompanied by doctors, nurses, parents, or whoever has been a critical ally in their battle.

LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Penn Dutch Meat and Seafood Market: Serving South Florida Since 1975

Family owned and operated for three generations If you’re someone who appreciates revelations in your culinary experience, then you owe it to yourself to visit Penn Dutch Meat & Seafood Market. This hidden gem will be worth the trip. You’ve probably passed Penn Dutch’s bright yellow building 100 times travelling on 1-95. And if you noticed it you may have thought it’s a warehouse or factory. If so – surprise - it has been open to the public for over 44 years! Albeit the store is tucked away in an industrial park, “We are only difficult to find the first time!” Paul Salsburg, one of the co-founders reminds us.

What’s Inside? Probably the largest spread of meat that you’ve every seen. Penn Dutch offers more than 200 cuts of beef, pork, veal, lamb and chicken. And if you don’t like what you see, just walk on over to the butcher who can cut your meat any way you would like. Freshly caught local whole fish, live lobsters in the tank, salmon flown in daily from Alaska and Norway fill the seafood case. Keep it whole, fillets or steaks, skin on or off – you decide. Penn Dutch is happy to customize for your recipe. Colorful produce at prices you can only remember from when you were a kid. Ever had cotton candy grapes? How about rambutan? Don’t hesitate to ask for a taste if you see something that catches

your fancy. Can you smell fresh baked bread? Or warm chocolate chip cookies? Walk on over to the bakery and see. While you’re there you can peruse one of South Florida’s largest cheese selections from around the world, including a rather large selection of queso. And finally, just turn 180 degrees for a cornucopia of deli delights.

Recipe of the Month

Memphis-Style Drunken-Hog BBQ Ribs 6 Servings 15 min. Prep Time 2 Hr. 10 min. Cook Time 1 Hr. Marinate Time Ingredients: 3 lb. pork baby back ribs 1/2 c. packed brown sugar 1/4 c. bourbon 1/2 c. Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce

What’s the key to longevity? It’s starts with family. Not only is the business multi-generational, loyal customers are extended family; and they are vested in those relationships. Penn Dutch’s Mission Statement reads: It is our Mission at Penn Dutch to continue to earn our customers’ trust by providing the largest variety of quality food at a great price that they can proudly serve to their families and friends. Earning trust requires commitment to Quality, Safety, Service and Value. When they do something customers adore, they continue. If they make a mistake, they admit it, fix it and learn how to not do it again. You should see all the raving reviews on Facebook, Yelp and Google Places. You will often see the owners on the retail floor in conversation with customers and sometimes even taking photos!

Cooking directions: 1. Place ribs on large sheet of heavy-duty foil sprayed with cooking spray. Mix sugar and bourbon until blended; spread onto ribs. Wrap in foil. Refrigerate 1 hour. 2. Heat grill for indirect grilling: Light one side of grill, leaving other side unlit. Close lid; heat grill to 350ºF. Place ribs on grate over unlit area; cover. Grill 2 hours, monitoring for consistent grill temperature. 3. Unwrap ribs; place, meat sides down, on grate over lit area of grill. Brush with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Grill 10 min., turning after 5 min. and brushing with remaining barbecue sauce.

Shenanigans Hosts Live Mural Painting Event to Support Ocean Conservation BY ROBIN KERR DRULARD COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENT robin@hollywoodgazette.com

When Shenanigans East needed to spruce up the wall next to its drive-thru window, owners Patrick and Christine Utter knew that a typical painting and landscaping job would not be keeping with the spirit — or the name — of the lively and fun pub and restaurant on Federal Highway just off Sheridan. So they called on Patrick’s old friend, Italian-born and Brooklyn-raised artist Roberto “Pasta” Pantaleo, and together they planned a weekend-long event that would support a cause that they care about while getting the job done. Running with the theme of the ubiquitous murals seen throughout downtown Hollywood, Pasta painted the wall throughout the weekend, creating a big and beautiful undersea image of a huge loggerhead turtle surrounded by seaweed, fish, dolphins and other sea creatures swimming nearby. Representatives of The Marine Environmental Education Center (MEEC) at Carpenter House in Hollywood Beach manned a table throughout the weekend, to educate diners about the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation programs run there in cooperation with the Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center. Pasta displayed and sold a selection of his original and signed marine art, and other pieces were raffled off, with all proceeds going to Carpenter House. Shenanigans provided ongoing entertainment with solo guitarist Jimi Ruccolo performing live while Pasta painted. Utter says he fell in love with the gentle giant sea turtles as a young man on a fishing trip in Bimini. “I was dining at a small local BBQ, a little hole-in-the-wall where we used to go to eat cracked conch and all sorts of seafood delicacies, when I heard a blood curdling scream,” he recalled. “The Bahamian guys we used to fish with had caught a big loggerhead, and there it was, on a plywood slab, and they were butchering it for food. There, they eat them. And in that moment, I realized that they are special creatures, and they 28

do have souls. They look strong and indestructible, but they’re not. 50% of their nests don’t even hatch, and now they’re endangered. “We are in a unique area, a beautiful area, for marine life and we have to protect it. We have to protect a lot of things. We’ve got to change our way of thinking.” Utter became involved with the turtle conservation movement when he met Derek Burkholder, the director of the MEEC program, through the Memorial Milers running club, a coach-led training group sponsored by the Memorial Regional Hospital fitness center. There was an instant synergy. “Many of the staff at Shenanigans share my passion for conversation,” noted Utter. “His staff at Carpenter House embraces Shenanigans’ and my conservation mindfulness. “I’ve been involved with the great folks from Carpenter House for awhile, and with this event, I wanted to not only provide their volunteers with a good time, but to help them raise awareness for their cause.” Utter and Pasta have been friends

for over 25 years, bonding over their love of sports, cars and the ocean. Pasta was a world-class airbrush artist, well known in South Florida since the ‘70s for airbrushing cars and boats for some of Miami’s most eccentric characters, while Utter became a chef and purveyor of fine seafood. “Friends Don’t Let Friends Eat Frozen Fish” proclaims a sign on Utter’s restaurant wall, while Pasta’s art naturally turned to portraying some of Florida’s natural sea life and beauty. Both are avid fisherman, and both men became involved in professional fishing tournaments for a variety of charity causes, particularly those concerning children, sea life and ocean conservation. “Pasta was a great area painter,”

proclaimed Utter. “He airbrushed boats and all the fishermen were amazed at his skill. He has done so many countless paintings and marine drawings for charitable foundations. Pasta paints and donates pictures, artwork, ceramics, art for trophies at fishing tournaments. He’s done fish art for PAL, and for a tournament to raise funds for mentoring underprivileged kids from the Miami Dolphins organization, and more. “And he has donated pictures and art to any marine life conservation project I’ve ever been associated with. “He really is in a league of his own and we’re really fortunate to have him here.” Fishermen, said Utter, are the very best conservationists. “They have a real love for the ocean and also respect for marine life.” Unfortunately, the turtle population is a food source in other parts of the world. Their eggs, plus their flesh, is highly desired, and this has endangered the survival of some parts of the species. “I love that South Florida is a melting pot of society, and people from many other cultures eat things that we don’t. But when others eat our sea life… well, we can’t kill everything in the ocean. When I was a lifeguard at Haulover in the ‘70s, we had sea turtles all over the place, kids would chase them around with sticks, no one knew then that they would become endangered. “The responsibility of outdoorsman is to protect the environment, plus to only take sustainable sea life,” he believes, explaining that the fishing industry has not only strict quotas on the amount of fish that is allowed to be caught, but also the season the fish can be caught, so as not to affect reproduction, plus the size of fish harvested. “We always have local fresh fish at Shenanigans — fresh Mahi, fresh smoked wahoo dip and summer Ahi tuna. But they are all local, sustainable fish. Never anything that’s endangered.” Pasta now lives and works full time in Islamorada in the Florida Keys, capturing in art the beauty of the sea. Utter plans to build a new deck adorned with driftwood and seaweed to showcase the new mural, creating a spot where

Fishing and diving are one of the most effective ways to make the public aware of pollution and the problem of plastic waste, Utter noted, adding that one of the biggest problems in our area waters are water treatment wastewater and the run-off that we pump back into the ocean. Garbage and sewer water are

both the main culprits in killing the reefs and ecosystems, he said, and he hopes that this event will help Carpenter house spread the word. “Shenanigans is known as a place for fishermen and conservationists,” he said, “ and this was a great opportunity to not only show marine life in an art form, but to also support the effort for conservation.”

Highland Gardens Civic Association — Sowing the Seeds for a Better Community

BY ROBIN KERR DRULARD COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENT robin@hollywoodgazette.com

Highland Gardens is a mostly residential subdivision of Hollywood, bounded by I-95 and Dixie Highway, from Pembroke Road to Hollywood Blvd. And judging from June’s Civic Association meeting, life’s pretty good in their neck of the woods. “There’s been a lot of turnover in real estate lately in Highland Gardens”, said attorney David L. Kout, current president of the association. Several of the members in attendance agreed, noting that it’s partially due to the rise in AirBnB usage of homes in the area, which, they say, is both good and bad. Good for property values and curb appeal, and not so great because of the influx of strangers into the neighborhood. Community members at the meeting, like in most south Florida communities, expressed concern over the ongoing legislative battle in Tallahassee to invalidate all local laws governing short term rentals, preferring to keep them in the individual cities. Debates continue as of this writing. First up at the meeting was code compliance officer Tasheema Lewis, who said there were only 63 violations in the past month in Highland Gardens, about half the usual amount, with most of them centered around property standards such as overgrown grass, painting, swale maintenance, parking, and sidewalks. She recognized the proactive initiative that the residents have been taking, the “Beautification of Highland Gardens” and was acknowledged by Association Secretary/Treasurer, Shirley Stealey for her help in having overgrown brush cleared away from the “Welcome to Highland Gardens” monument sign on Washington Street and 24th Avenue. “Thank you,” said Stealey. “We can see our sign again!” What followed was a brief discussion on who is now responsible for upkeep of the sign and avoidance of regrowth of the brush, with Stealey noting that she had been told by another compliance officer that it was indeed the responsibility of the city. “I was happy that it was cleaned up and that you can read it now; it had been neglected,” said Sealey, “Officer Lewis has always been really nice and anything I’ve asked for, she’s gotten it done.”

Officer Lewis explained that her job was not only to give out violations but to help offenders comply, often with referrals to programs that can assist when financial or other hardships exist. “We help and encourage people to comply before small violations become big problems,” said Lewis. Next up was Hollywood Police Department Sergeant Pablo Vanegas, west side supervisor, standing in for Neighborhood Team Leader Robert Joseph, who was out sick. Sergeant Vanegas recalled that he was actually the NTL for the community 24 years ago! Sergeant Vanegas’s report was pretty much the same as what we’ve been hearing in other civic association meetings around the cities: petty crimes, kids with time on their hands, auto break-ins, almost exclusively on unlocked vehicles. “It’s easier for them, there’s less noise,” he noted. He advised residents to lock their cars, keep outdoor lights and alarms on, and keep valuables out of cars, or at least out of sight. Among the most burgled items, he

reported, were loose changes, eyeglasses and sunglasses and, surprisingly, dentures! The next and most lengthy presentation didn’t even have to do with the immediate area of Highland Gardens. It was delivered by representatives of PPG Development, who are gauging community interest in the revamping of the Emerald Hills Golf Course into a private, country club-style golf resort. The redeveloped club, which would also include new rental apartments to be owned and managed by PPG, would feature a Jack Nicklaus designed 170-acre golf course, the longest in the state of Florida, a state-ofthe-art gym, tennis courts, pools, catering hall and club house, and would offer deep discounts on memberships for Hollywood residents. District Commissioner Peter Hernandez was next up to the podium. He reported that construction on Hollywood Boulevard was to be completed by the end of the year, and fielded questions about the conversion of Stratford’s Bar to a medical marijuana dispensary, speeding cars and speed bumps, sidewalk restoration, which has already begun in the area, and some proposed uses for the General Obligation Bond money. Association members Alice Cooper and Jackie Grant came to the front of the room to discuss what they’ve been learning at the city-funded Mission Possible “Train Hard or Go Home” Boot Camp Workshop Series; Secretary Stealey gave a Treasury report and a call for membership support — a steal at $1 per month — and the group dissolved into individual conversations about a few issues affecting the area. “Right now, there are three areas of concern that we would like the city to address,” said Maria Jackson, a 20-year resident, volunteer, community activist, realtor, and mother of four kids raised in the neighborhood.

“First, there are a few long-neglected projects, like the sign which has finally had the brush cleared away but has not been re-landscaped or repainted and the boundary wall on Fletcher Street from 22nd to 25th Avenues, which crumbled after Hurricane Irma. It took 18 months for the city to pick up the up the rubble, now it’s boarded up but it hasn’t been rebuilt and it looks horrible, and it’s the buffer between the commercial and the residential areas. “Next, we need to look at the business district zoning on Pembroke Road — there doesn’t seem to be any standard there to make it a nice entryway to our city. You can see a real difference between the Hollywood side of Pembroke Road and the Hallandale side of the street — the other side of the street looks nicer. “I’ve met with real estate clients who are investing in this city now, and they said it looks like the hood when you come in off I-95, and that is one of the main entries into our city. The city government needs to do something about it, because that brings down the impression of our whole city as well as our neighborhood. We need to take care of our boundaries.” “Finally,” she said, “we have a serious lack of public space in Highland Gardens. We have no real park and no real community center.” But the biggest shame, everyone agreed, is the loss of the Community Garden. For 10 years, Highland Gardens had one on 24th and Adams, and it was recognized by the City of Hollywood, the Florida Gardening Association, The Community Foundation of Broward, The National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat, by Michelle Obama as a successful community garden and by HUD as good use of a HUD property in a low-to-moderate income area. The resident gardeners always knew that it was temporary and last year, the plot was taken back by the city to make way for the senior affordable housing development to be known as Pinnacle at Peacefield. “Our community is very diverse and we have a large gardening movement here,” said Jackson. A new garden has been opened at 56th avenue, but, sadly, it is too far for many of the residents to use. “But the area remains a beautiful place to live,” she continued. “We have so many great neighbors, a healthy lifestyle; we have community.” “We have National Night Out, an annual Holiday party, weekly Free Community Cafe every Tuesday at McNicol, monthly meetings including food and fellowship. We have affordable housing, lots of old fruit trees, and many older residents who add support and stability to the neighborhood.” “We so enjoy living here; I’ve been here for 20 years. It’s close to everything, uber-affordable, not stressful, but those are the things that I think could make it even better.” For information on Highland Gardens and the Highland Gardens Civic Association, visit http://www.highlandgardensfl.org or contact the association at highlandgardens7@bellsouth.net or 954-923-9109.
