Local barbershop ‘a cut above the rest’ since 1946

BY DARLENE PISTOCCHI

Nestled at 110 South 20th Avenue, Hollywood, Florida, between the alleyway and Morningstar Jewelers, sits a cozy little barbershop called Downtown Cuts.

Established in 1946 and currently owned by native New Yorker Phil Fuchs, who has been living in Hollywood for 30 years, Downtown Cuts is just one of those gems that helps give Hollywood its magic.

“I basically stumbled into Downtown Cuts because the small-town exterior of the shop seemed to indicate that the interior would have the same feel,” states John Lannert, a shop regular pictured above.

“Indeed, the interior with vintage photos, license plates and traditional barber stools makes the customer feel like a throwback. But there is a mix of young and old barbers, so any type of customer would feel at home.”

Part of the shop’s hometown feel is the all-star crew Fuchs has on board-including his 21-year-old son, Sammy, and 89-year-old Dewey LaPorte.

“I didn’t know Dewey when I bought the salon,” shares Fuchs, “but I kept him on. He came with the purchase and we get along great. He has loyal clients, as well.”

LaPorte, who just turned 89 this past Valentine’s Day, started working for the

shop in 1956. “After a while, I bought it. It was called Palm Barber Shop back then,” recalls LaPorte. “Then I sold it about 20 years ago.”

But that didn’t stop him from being a mainstay.

“Dewey is a meticulous barber,” states Lannert. “There’s not a hair out of

place when Dewey finishes a cut.”

Lannert, who moved here from Louisville, Kentucky last July with his wife, Guilianna, and mom, Audry, was looking for an old-school barber shop. “Once I met Dewey, I’ve been going to him ever since,” he says. “I was also interested in his Cajun ancestry and historical knowl-

Commission to purchase new meters for Hollywood Beach; conducts parking survey Last month, Hollywood Commission agreed to spend $1,098,996 to purchase 108 Luke II pay-byplate multi-space pay stations for the city’s beach parking areas.

These pay stations are being painted to differentiate them from the meters at private parking lots.

Visitors to the Garfield beach garage can see in real time how many spaces are available by going to the City’s website and going to departments and then parking.

The Garfield garage at 300 Connecticut Street has 403 spaces and is open 24/7. Fees are $1.50/ hr.; $15 daily max.

The City is also conducting a parking survey to gain feedback from residents on their experience with parking in Hollywood. http:// www.hollywoodfl.org/FormCenter/ Parking-14/Parking-Survey-91

July 2016

Resident feedback will be taken into consideration by the Parking Division.

The Parking Division oversees 3 garages, several lots and hundreds of metered and non-metered on-street parking spaces. The total inventory of standard spaces is 4,232 on-street and off-street spaces with 2,327 Downtown spaces and 1,905 spaces on the Beach. This does not include privately run lots and facilities.

The City’s Parking Division is not funded through property taxes.

It is an Enterprise Fund, meaning revenue generated by the enterprise is used to pay for the parking facilities, operations and maintenance. Revenue comes from parking meters, garage and lot fees, parking fines and permit fees.

edge of Hollywood.”

Lannert is an active member of Hollywood Historical Society and graciously helped contribute information for this story.

About Dewey Born in Louisiana, LaPorte is a Korean War vet who met his wife, Jeannette, when he was stationed on the Destroyer in Newport, Rhode Island. After Jeannette graduated from school, the couple married and started a family. They moved to Florida in the ’50s when Jeannette’s father started suffering from heart conditions.

“We had another girl and boy born at Memorial Regional Hospital when it was only three stories high,” recalls LaPorte with a subtle hint of his native accent.

“My children went to Hollywood Hills Elementary, Olsen Middle School and South Broward High. We enjoyed raising our kids and now enjoy riding our boat up and down the Intracoastal and through Port Everglades.”

Extremely active for his age, LaPorte also enjoys playing racquetball. He works Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.

About Sammy Fuchs’ son Sammy, who attended barber school, also helps attract a diverse clientele.

“I thought it would be nice for him to work with me one day and it worked out,” shares Fuchs. “We’ve been together for three years. He’s an excellent barber and he’s bringing in his own flavor.” Sammy specializes in beards and styling.

“For his age, he is something else,” states LaPorte.

If that’s not enough to reel you in, this charming bunch also speaks English, Russian, Hebrew, Yiddish, and ‘un poquito’ of Spanish!

The Location “I love this location,” says Fuchs, who bought the shop six years ago. (Some may remember it as Sullo Wet Cuts.)

“There’s a lot of foot traffic here and parking is not an issue. I also have clients that followed me from my other shops (along Stirling Road and Griffin Road) from the past 20 years.”

“Hollywood is small enough to allow my 91-year-old mom to drive around town and still big enough for plenty of activity,” adds Lannert, who enjoys walks on the broadwalk with his wife, Guilianna and frequenting restaurants like Tarks of Dania Beach and the cozy cafe, Chocolada.

But when it comes to his hair, it’s always Fuchs and company.

“From a friendly conversation and the latest hair style from Sammy and Phil, or an old-school cut from Dewey, Downtown Cuts is the place to go.”

FOR GOODNESS SAKE

The Broward Outreach Center’s Alumni Group becomes an advocate for those experiencing homelessness

would be out for a couple of months and get to go back to work, but it didn’t happen that way. I couldn’t afford to pay my bills. What really made me homeless is that I didn’t have enough money to continue to take care of my bills. I had met my friend at a church who teaches classes [at BOC] twice a month and she told me about BOC. I cried the first day [at BOC] because I was saying to myself ‘how did I get in this predicament?’. Once I got here, after the first day, I was glad that I came.

BY COURTNEY BUTTERWORTH

TEEN CORRESPONDENT courtney.butterworth@ aquinas-sta.org

Every other Thursday at 5 p.m., a group of men and women who have graduated from the Broward Outreach Center’s programs meet to discuss ways to give back to the community.

At this particular meeting, Don Cotton informs the group that they are a step closer to adopting several of the streets surrounding the shelter.

Their vision is to contribute to individuals in the community as a way to give back to the taxpayers.

The group plans to go door to door, asking if there is anything that they can do to help. While they’re focused on giving back to the community as a whole, they are also focused on giving hope to those who are in the same situation that they once found themselves in.

The alumni group wants to be an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves.

I was able to speak with the Broward Outreach Center’s alumni group about their own stories of experiencing homelessness and how their stories can help others.

Hollywood Gazette: How long have you been a graduate of the Broward Outreach Center (BOC)?

William Nutt: I’ve been a graduate for seven and a half months.

Cynthia Wyche: Six months.

Jason Gillis: It’s been one year.

Pamela Fields: Six months for me.

Harry Mullin: Nine months.

HG: How long were you at BOC? WN: Two months before I was able to be qualified for another program, which I am living at today.

CW: I was here three months before I was qualified for a rapid housing [program].

JG: I was here less than two months and Mr. Cotton helped me to get my own place through a HUD housing grant. I have been in my own place for one year where I was homeless on the streets for six years.

July 2016

HG: What would you say is the most common misconception that people have towards those experiencing homelessness?

Standing left to right: William Nutt, Jason Gillis, Harry Mullin Sitting left to right: Cynthia Wyche, Pamela Fields HM: I was here for six months before I moved out on my own.

PF: I was here four months and [then] my housing came through Section 8.

HG: When did you originally start to experience homelessness and what led to it?

WN: Nine months ago I found myself down on Hollywood Beach ready to hang myself. I had lost all hope.

I found out that I had two broken vertebrates in my back that I never addressed and they mended themselves, which was causing excruciating pain.

The alcohol and the drugs wouldn’t work anymore. I asked God, “Please, Lord, do something. I can’t live this way anymore,” and I heard it just as clearly as I am speaking now: “God opened doors only you can close”.

Two days later, Don Cotton allowed me to come back into this program.

Everything changed. God did for me what I couldn’t do for myself. I have a 36 year old daughter and a 15 year old granddaughter that are a part of my life today and that means everything in the world to me. Don gave me a job here and I am working on my GED so I can work to become a certified substance abuse specialist one day.

JG: I experienced homelessness around ten years ago…I always had a key to a house and I never thought that anyone was responsible for taking care of things and I wasn’t really taught that, so when the people that

were in my life were gone I started learning the hard way. Sometimes you don’t realize what you have until you lose it. [I lost my house] and that’s when I started getting caught up in the street stuff, the easy life, and what I thought was gonna benefit me in life and all it did was make me worse. It seemed like the more I became homeless, I became hopeless. It is really hard to see out of the hole when there is no one reaching out to you. That’s where BOC came in for me, when I was reaching out for this help, they extended their hand and that’s why I am here now.

HM: I came here from having two jobs and money, but I had to get away from my place. My friends were selling drugs; I didn’t want to be there…I came here. Fortunately, I bought a bike and a change of clothes…when I got down here, unlike what these people have been through. I have a lot of respect [for them]. I feel…little because I had it a little bit easier. I hate to even say that because I hear these people and what they went through and what they are going through. Everyone that comes in here is unique. When I first got here I knew that if I couldn’t get into the program I would be on the street…I never had to sleep under the stars except for in Boy Scouts, and that was in a tent with a sleeping bag and food (laughs).

PF: I worked for the Dade County school board and I had surgery. I had to be out for a year. I thought that I

CW: That they think people want to be homeless. They think that you want to be on drugs, that you want to be desolate. They think that you are comfortable. They think that you want to be that way, not that you wish someone would lend a helping hand.

JG: The biggest one for me is that ‘oh, there’s places out there’. Like, they could get some help but they don’t want help. They don’t realize that the community that views [homelessness] is the community that can help it. It is everyone’s responsibility as a community and as humanity to help. Society kind of teaches us to be like ‘get a job’ rather than ‘how could I help in some way’. We aren’t any different than you. I’ve been in [BOC] with people in med school, people who were lawyers at one time, who were computer engineers, and then I started realising that homelessness is not a mentality, it is a part of society now. Some [volunteers at BOC] would ask if we wanted more [food] and I remember that restored my dignity. I felt human again. Most of the time when I walked the streets, I wished that I could just disappear. When I came up from under the bridge and it was rush hour traffic and everyone [turned and looked at me] there was no feeling in the world that was worse.

PM: Everybody thinks that people have to be on drugs to become homeless and it doesn’t happen that way.

For me, it was the issue with my finances. They have great programs [at BOC] that help you learn. I learned new things financial-wise from those programs.

WN: In my last run, I carried a duffel bag and a suitcase, so I looked homeless (laughs). There were times when

COMMUNITY NEWS I just had a single backpack and was clean dressed and when I started talking to people on the bus about what [my situation] was [they would say], “I never thought you were homeless, look at you.”

JG: A part of being homeless is the system. It is a vicious cycle that you get caught up in where you get caught with an open container of beer, or you are asking someone for a dollar, and you get a ticket. Then that ticket turns into a warrant because you don’t go.

And then they pick you up and take you to the jail. It is just this vicious cycle that happens. What do you do?

They let you out at three o’clock in the morning out west. That was the hardest thing for me. I always thought a blonde would show up in a Porsche to help me but instead it was the Hollywood Police (laughs).

HG: Do you think that there are any laws that make it harder to get out of that cycle?

JG: Everything that you do is against the law to the officer’s perception…

They use [jail] as a warehouse. There are people that just need help in that jail. Is it a crime to be homeless?

Maybe there’s 400 beds in Broward County [in homeless shelters]. You know where the rest go? To Pompano, our main jail. When it becomes season [for tourists] you go to jail more because they don’t want to see it on the streets. When I was homeless for six years [I learned this] – when it was summertime you could have at it

walking up and down, holding your sign. But when [tourists] come, get off the streets.

HG: Is there anything that you would recommend for those who are experiencing homeless to do? Is there anything that we can do to help them?

HM: Get involved.

CW: Knowing your state and being able to push yourself in a direction to help yourself.

PF: Never give up.

WN: I work on the women’s side [of BOC]. I tell everybody over there that there are two main ingredients to keep you going – patience and tolerance.

JG: It’s not just [donating] money.

And instead of calling the police on the next homeless guy why don’t you call your senator and ask them why you see people who are homeless? Try to picture yourself in someone else’s shoes where one night everything you have is gone. Ask yourself if it would be easier just to get a job…we want to become a voice to empower people.

This is a hand up, not a hand out.

Hollywood Beach parking rates to raise in August for non-residents People who live outside of CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com Hollywood will soon have to pay twice as much to park at the beach or at the Garfield Parking Garage.

During a recent meeting, the Hollywood Commission agreed to raise the parking rates at the beach for nonresidents. Visitors will pay $3 an hour Monday through Thursday and $4 an hour on weekends.

Hollywood residents will pay $1.50 an hour Monday through Thursday and $2 an hour on weekends which is the current rate being charged. The changes will take place in August when the new meters are installed. This is the first rate increase since 2010.

Residents who have Smartphones will register for the city rates through a Parkmobile app. Those without Smartphones will go to City Hall to get an access code for the resident rate. A presentation on the new rates and parking meter system was made at

BY DAVID VOLZ

the Commission meeting.

During the Commission meeting, there was some discussion about confusion between city parking and private parking. People have reported that when they overstayed their paid for time at private lots they returned and found their cars booted. They said they want to make sure the signs are clear about the difference between private and city lots. Also, there was concern about the high cost of parking for people who work at or near the beach and must pay high parking rates.

Commissioner Patricia Asseff said she believes it is unfair to expect people who live in Hollywood and pay taxes to pay higher rates for parking.

She believes the parking rates at city lots are fair and inexpensive compared to the rates being charged at private lots. She believes the City’s beaches will continue to attract people.

City leaders are considering eventually establishing new parking rates for downtown Hollywood and year-round parking permits.

The Broward Outreach Center is located at 2056 Scott Street, Hollywood, 33020. For more information on BOC visit https://www.browardoutreachcenter.org/ or call (954) 926– 7417 .

WEST HOLLYWOOD

West Hollywood homeowners fight to “Keep Emerald Hills Green” A group of residents who live on dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com or near the Emerald Hills Country Club are organizing to stop the development of an apartment complex in their backyard.

Plans call for the construction of roughly 576 rental apartments and 80 condominium units on the Emerald Hills golf course.

The developer’s plan proposes building 16 four-story and one eight-story building with parking lots for about 1,000 cars and was presented to a group of Emerald Hills homeowners earlier this year.

At the meeting, the new owner of the golf course told the homeowners that because there is less interest in golf, the golf course needs to be partially redeveloped.

The residents who attended the meeting were mostly disappointed and angry at the proposal.

Some residents suggested to the owner that if he can’t or isn’t willing to renovate and improve the country club in order to make it successful, then he should sell it to a group of residents who will. Property records show the current owner bought the 167-acre golf course 3 years ago for $4,700,000.

They have formed a group known as “Keep Emerald Hills Green” to inform residents of the Emerald Hills Country Club’s desire to develop the golf course, create a unified voice opposing the proposed development, and advocate these oppositions to the City of Hollywood leadership in an effort to maintain all existing land use and zoning. At the time of press the group had 461 members on their Facebook page.

The impact that rental apartments will have on the community will likely decrease the value of surrounding homes and increase traffic in the area. It will change the atmosphere of the Emerald Hills community from a highly desirable place to live to one that is less attractive, according to Khila Khani, of “Keep Emerald Hills Green.”

Goals for “Keep Emerald Hills Green” include preserving the overall feel of the community. The homeowners are proud to be a family-friendly community among the existing homeownership.

They want to protect green space. Many residents moved to the area for the opportunity to be a member of the Country Club. Homeowners who purchased property in Emerald Hills expect to maintain property values based on the existing composition of the neighborhood. The current development proposition would defeat that purpose. They want to maintain the current population density. Any additional proposed development would increase the level in population density and traffic, according to Khani.

Currently, an online petition has been created demanding that the City of Hollywood deny any request to change the land use or zoning and deny any application for special exemption. The goal is to get at least 1,000 signatures, at the

time of press there were already 531. The property is currently zoned as country club and its land use is open space and recreational. The committee will solicit membership aligned with the petition. The purpose of the membership will be to show support from the community.

Background information Three years ago the Emerald Hills Country Club and golf course was purchased

by First Eagle Management LLC, a company owned solely by Todd Schoenwetter. Mr. Schoenwetter now claims that the property is presently not financially viable and states that in order to regain that financial viability, the proposed redevelopment plan is required.

The owner also cited the declining interest in golf clubs across the country. The Emerald Hills Golf Club is one of the most presti-

gious golf courses in South Florida.

On May 24, 2016, Mr. Schoenwetter notified a small group of residents about an “informational” meeting to discuss the proposed development. The meeting was scheduled for the following evening, May 25, 2016. Despite the short notice, the meeting pulled in about 60 or more residents and Hollywood Commissioner Dick Blattner.

The speakers included, Debra Orshefsky, land use attorney for Emerald Hills Country Club and Bainbridge; a representative from Bainbridge Development and Todd Schoenwetter. Debra Orshefsky presented the proposed development plan that included the development of two rental communities in various positions on the existing portions of the golf course. Residents immediately expressed their distaste for this type of development and vehemently opposed the proposed plans.

The developer and Emerald Hills Golf Course had planned to have another meeting the following week to continue discussion with residents about these proposals, but shortly after the first meeting, the second meeting was cancelled.

In Hollywood, there have been two recent efforts to redevelop privately owned golf courses. The effort at Hillcrest was successful. The golf course developer was able to gain the support of Hillcrest residents by offering a single-family home and town-home product that was considered an upgrade to the older Hillcrest condominium community. The unsuccessful effort was at Sunset Golf Course where local residents insisted that no development should occur on the 46 acre property to preserve green space, according to Josh Levy, a candidate for mayor of Hollywood.

Hollywood unveils new park dedicated to Charles F. Vollman Pamela Vollman-Burgio was CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com pleased to be a part of the dedication ceremony for the Charles F. Vollman Park.

She is the daughter of Charles Vollman.

“I am very honored to be part of this,” she said. “My father was involved in the development of this area and he wanted a park to be in this area. He was unselfish and did not seek recognition.”

Marc Vollman, the son of Charles Vollman also participated in the ceremony.

“It is an honor to be here. I am proud of my father. Hollywood is my city and I grew up here. I will use this park,” he said.

Mayor Peter Bober said, “I think this is a wonderful addition to Hollywood’s green space. It is one of the finest parks in the City.”

Commissioner Traci Callari added, “This park is a little piece of heaven.”

Vice Mayor Peter Hernandez said, “It is beautiful. This park is serene and relaxing. It is a haven in the middle of a metropolis.”

Broward County Commissioner Beam Furr participated in the ceremony. He remembered working to ensure that the park would be developed during his time on the

Hollywood Commission.

Karen Albertson, president of Hollywood Historical Society, said her organization worked to make sure the Rock House was not demolished. She is looking forward to seeing this house used to hold events.

This park is part of the development known as “Sheridan Stationside Village.”

It includes a total of six acres, four of which are usable. The remaining two acres are for retention and detention, according to Chuck Ellis, director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts.

It is considered a passive park with benches, drinking fountain, waste receptacles, bike racks, light poles and a concrete circuitous path. The site includes an old farm rock house. The developer contributed $50,000 toward the remodeling of the rock house a later phase. “We will use this building for a grant match and to assess what exactly the building will require to refurbish it,” said Ellis.

At one time, the land was used as a trailer park. The land has many Oak Hammock trees and is a perfect place to go and relax.

The park is located at 2933 Taft Street, just west of I-95.

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Hollywood artist opens gallery and studio in Downtown Arts District

BY CARON CONWAY

FEATURE CORRESPONDENT

caron@hollywoodgazette.com

Hollywood artist Doris White is now able to paint and exhibit her work close to home at her new Art N Form Gallery that opened in Downtown Hollywood on June 18 during the monthly Downtown Hollywood ArtWalk.

Art N Form Gallery, at 120 S. 20th Ave., showcases White's oil, acrylic and mixed-media paintings and more than 100 one-of-a-kind painted leather handbags and clutches. White said her colorful artwork, which is characterized by its rich shades, is best described as "Picasso style."

"People really like it and I get good feedback," said White, a selftaught artist originally from MedellĂ­n, Colombia, who moved to the United States in 1988.

The painted handbags and clutches available at Art N Form are produced in Colombia and made of fine leather, inside and out, from Italy and Brazil. The vast selection of wearable art includes designs by Colombian artists Katalina Ospina and Henry White, Doris White's brother.

It was Henry's artwork that inspired Doris, then a hairdresser, to take up painting following a visit to Colombia. She first showed her work in 1999 at Art on the Boulevard in Fort Worth, Texas, where she lived. After selling

her first painting, White became a fulltime artist and made a name for herself by hosting art shows in her home and displaying her work in art galleries. In 2009 White's work was chosen for the

"NoctĂĄmbula" handbag by Doris White; $800; Dimensions: 14x13x5.5 advertising materials for the Jazz by the Boulevard festival in Fort Worth, and her painting was turned into posters, banners, flyers, T-shirts and bags.

After White and her husband Luiz Toledo moved to Hollywood late last year, she continued to paint and show her work far from home at a Delray Beach gallery. White is happy to share her new business with her spouse, a retired hand surgeon, who will stretch and frame the finished canvases in a room in the back while White creates

in her studio.

"When people come in to see my art, they can see me painting," she said. "It's going to be wonderful."

Motorists and pedestrians are likely to see a large sample of White's work around town, as she plans to turn her Dodge Durango into a mobile masterpiece.

White said she is "very enthusiastic" about opening Art N Form in the historic downtown arts, music and entertainment district that is home to galleries and studios, the innovative ArtsPark at Young Circle, the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, Cinema Paradiso art-house cinema and the Downtown Hollywood Mural Project (DHMP). Numerous cultural events include the free ArtWalk series presented by the City of Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) from 7 to 10 p.m. every third Satyrday, featuring a guided outdoor mural tour, live outdoor painting, entertainment and complimentary refreshments at participating galleries and businesses.

"I really like the murals. When I see them, I say, 'This is what I want,'" White said. "Downtown Hollywood is on its way, and I'll do whatever I can to help."

and a better Broward. Substance abuse and mental illness is a disease and it's everyone's problem. Programs aimed at intervention, treatment and prevention benefit our community as a whole," said Commissioner Lois Wexler.

"For more than four decades, BARC has provided outstanding service, partnering with community organizations and agencies to bring help to those suffering from drug and alcohol abuse. Last year, BARC provided service to more than three-thousand people and is a vital part of Broward's commitment to human services and a strong social safety net," said Commissioner Tim Ryan.

"This new facility is patient oriented and will offer a safe and warm environment where people can comfortably work to turn their lives around and

recover from what we know is a chronic disease. This is the future," said BARC Director Paul Faulk.

BARC, is administered through Broward County's Human Services Department and offers a comprehensive range of services for residents affected by substance abuse and/or co-occurring disorders. The current facility has been operating out of an old church building for the past forty years with limited space and aging equipment. Plans for a new facility have been in the works for more than seventeen years.

"This new facility is proof that perseverance, dedication and commitment will overcome all difficulty," said BARC Substance Abuse Advisory Board President Rocky Rodriguez.

"There's always going to be a drug

that presents a challenge. But, BARC is here to help everyone, regardless of circumstance," said BARC Substance Abuse Advisory Board Vice President Donald Maines.

The Broward County Board of County Commissioners awarded a $20 million construction contract to build the new Broward Addiction Recovery Center facility last year. The future 2-story, 49,000-square-foot building is designed to meet "LEED Gold" certification standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council. It is anticipated that the new BARC Central will serve more than 4,500 clients each year and is scheduled for completion in 2018.

Leadership Hollywood Class XL graduates Leadership Hollywood CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com XL participant Myron Bailey loves helping the less fortunate. And as chair of the Feeding South Florida team, he was able to do so by leading a fund raising effort to provide food for those in need as part of his service project.

“We targeted service organizations and encouraged people to donate at least one dollar. That one dollar would give six meals to anyone in need,” said Bailey.

BY DAVID VOLZ

Feeding South Florida raised more than $7,000 and was recognized as the best community service project involved with Leadership Hollywood Class XL.

The graduating class included a group of about 45 up-and-coming Hollywood leaders who spent nine months together.

During their time they learned about city government, media, environmental organizations, education, health and human services, public safety and other important institutions. They were divided into four teams that each completed a community service project. They celebrated a graduation at the Diplomat Resort & Spa, where each team gave a presentation on their project and its accomplishments.

Lois Pevin-Weiss, co-chair of the Team Y project enjoyed working on the butterfly garden at the Greater Hollywood YMCA. They held events to raise money and then worked together to install around 200 butterfly attracting plants and a butterfly bench.

“This has been a great experience. I learned so much and met some really great people,” said Pevin-Weiss.

Shawn Jacobson, co-chair of Expo Alfresco was proud of his team’s service project. It brought about 40 restaurants and seven breweries together for a large community event at the ArtsPark at Young Circle. “We had a good turnout and people had a great time. We had supersize board games and music,” said Jacobson.

Carlos Zuluaga enjoyed leading an effort to promote a production by the Exceptional Theater Company, an organization that provides an opportunity for disabled individuals to participate in theater performances. “We created marketing materials and setup a website. We helped them put on a Broadway style show,” he said.

Also, people who had completed the Hollywood Leadership Class in previous years were able to serve as Day Chairs.

They led the field trips to the various institutions and were recognized at the ceremony.

The program helps create leaders in Hollywood as part of the Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and run by people who have completed the Class in previous years. “This is a priceless opportunity for future leaders,” said Marie Suarez, Chief Operating Officer for the Chamber.

People who attended the graduation event enjoyed spending an evening together sharing stories about their projects.

Hollywood's proposed budget includes hiring freezes and possibility of four-day work week

The City of Hollywood recently dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com held a budget workshop to discuss the Fiscal Year 2017 proposed budget. The City is looking at a budget gap of nearly $20 million and is facing challenges in paying pension costs and delivering critical services.

Hollywood spends about $50 million a year to cover pension costs. This is more than half the money the city generates in property taxes. Health care costs have increased by about $6.7 million.

Because it is an election year, none of the commissioners want to raise taxes.

Adding to the deficit, Hollywood cannot receive $2.6 million in state chapter funds because of pending litigation involving the 13th check. At this point the city’s three pension boards insist the city should provide pensioners a 13th check and the city is saying it should not.

Discussion of transitioning to a fourday, ten-hour-a-day, work week was also entertained. Because of decreased energy and resource costs, this could mean a savings of $300,000. An increase in the fire fee from $209 to $222 would raise

BY DAVID VOLZ CORRESPONDENT

$1.6 million. Because of an increase in property values in Hollywood, there will be an extra $1.9 million in property taxes.

The proposed millage or property tax rate is 7.4479.

Because of the budget gap, City Manager Dr. Wazir Ishmael has told department heads to shave five percent from their budget, which means hiring freezes. 45 positions have been frozen to save about $7 million including 11 sworn police officer positions, 14 civilian positions, three firefighter positions, two code enforcement positions and nine public works positions. Also, 31 part-time Beach Safety lifeguards will see a reduction in their hours. Residents can also expect a reduction in the number of events and programs in the Parks and Recreation Department.

Commissioner Patricia Asseff said she believes the City Manager is doing the best he can. She understands cuts will have to be made but does not want a reduction in public safety. “Safety is the number one priority in the city. I don’t want to raise taxes. We just have to work efficiently,” she said. “The 13th check is something we never should have done

and it was structured wrong. How do you give away money you don’t have?”

Asseff believes it is important to look for ways to raise property values in Hollywood. “We need new developments in the entire city and to fix up properties,” she added.

Vice Mayor Peter Hernandez said everything needs to remain on the table.

He believes the Diplomat Resort & Spa should be taken out of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) because this would mean about $1.8 million for the City and would mean fewer cuts for important services. He believes the Beach CRA should be eliminated. “If we eliminated the Beach CRA that would be $17 million that would go directly to the City’s general fund this year and $19 million next year,” said Hernandez.

He is concerned about some of the proposed cuts. He said that without adequate lifeguard protection at the beach, those enjoying the beach might be at greater risk. Hernandez expressed concern that a program that provides an open gymnasium for young people might be eliminated. “This program takes 80 kids off the street,” he said.

Commissioner Traci Callari said she did not want to see hiring freezes. “We are facing some challenges but we will be OK,” she said.

Commissioner Kevin Biederman said, “It will work out in the end. I am not in favor of raising taxes or freezing positions. I think there are non-essential positions such as the labor relations position that could be cut. We have several unfilled director positions that are nonessential,” he added.

Commissioner Dick Blattner commended city staff on the proposed budget.

“They did a good job balancing the reductions and changes we must have,” he said.

Upcoming budget meetings: On July 6, the Hollywood Commission will set the not-to-exceed millage rate for the City.

In late August, the Commission will hold a workshop to discuss the final operating budget.

On September 13, there will be a preliminary public hearing on the budget.

On September 26, there will be a final public hearing on the budget.

DENTAL HEALTH UPDATE

I

Same Day Dentistry

continue to be in awe of the technological advances in Dentistry in recent years. It is hard to believe but it is now possible to have some procedures completed in hours when it used to take weeks and even months. Take for example a root canal, it used to take several visits to complete but with the use of newer equipment and techniques we can now finish most Root Canal treatments virtually painlessly in one 1 hour visit.

Other procedures that we can now finish in one visit are crowns. Unfortunately many people are familiar with crowns and have them in their mouths. Many more will need crowns in order to replace those very old and very large silver fillings that cause the tooth to crack over time.

Until recently, in order to do a crown, we had to prepare the tooth, take an impression of the preparation with a gooey material that does not taste well, makes you gag and takes about 4 – 6 minutes to set in the mouth and distorts. After that, we had to make a temporary crown and send the case to the lab. The lab would pour a stone model of the tooth which further distorts and make a crown that would take about 2 weeks to come back to the office. In the meantime there is a risk for the temporary crown to fall off and to leak, leaving the tooth to be sensitive. There is a chance the tooth will move because of the temporary and that the final

Part 1

restoration would need to be adjusted by grinding it down in order to make it fit. This will take a separate visit and the tooth would have to be anesthetized one more time.

The materials we traditionally use to make crowns are now almost completely obsolete. Most well educated patients are reluctant to have any metal inside their mouths. Recent advances in dental materials have made possible that we place ceramic and zirconium materials to replace not

only the beauty of natural teeth but they have strength similar to enamel as well. The technology and software advances make possible to mill these materials in the office and to stain and glaze them to make them match the colors and characteristics of your own teeth.

The results are spectacular and most of the time it only takes about one 1 ½ hour visit. There are a lot of advantages in doing same day crowns, we eliminate impressions with the

gooey material, we eliminate the need to use a temporary crown for 2 weeks, we eliminate the need for a second visit and more anesthetic, we eliminate distortions in the impression and the stone model so we get a much more accurate fit and we can do an overall better job at customizing the crown since we can make corrections in shape and shade chairside.

I have to add that the use of technology has made us better dentists.

Being able to see a tooth preparation in a screen at 50x magnification demands that we prepare the tooth so much better in the mouth since every little imperfection gets magnified 50 times. Let’s face it, most dentists you know including me are a little nuts when it comes to perfection.

Broward to vote on sales tax increase

+ Additional $25k homestead exemption for homeowners 65 and older with a household income of $28,482 or less approved

BY DAVID VOLZ

The Broward County Commission voted 5-3 last month to put interlocking sales tax items on the November 8 ballot that are dependent on each other to pass.

Each item asks for a half-penny sales tax increase. One would be used to finance Broward County transportation projects and the second would be used to fund city infrastructure projects.

Voters must approve both requests or they both fail. If passed, people would pay seven cents on the dollar, affecting only purchases up to $5,000.

Both taxes would be in effect for 30 years. It is estimated that they would generate about $310 million in the first full year and $12.4 billion over 30 years. An oversight board would be created to monitor the use of the money.

The County sales tax would finance a variety of transportation projects including a light rail system known as the "Wave," synchronization of traffic signals, and improvements to intersections. The extra funds would be used to provide more bus services, improve bicycle paths and sidewalks, and update county roads.

Broward cities need the money to pay for street infrastructure improvements and bus shelters. It may also be used for fire trucks, park improvements and other projects. City governments could use if for new buildings such as fire stations, police stations, recreation buildings and city halls as well as to purchase land for recreation and conservation.

The County Commission had previously agreed to a ballot initiative that would have raised the sales tax by three-quarter of a penny to pay for a countywide transportation system. They agreed to a compromise with elected officials who said the money was needed to replace municipal infrastructure, according to Kimberly Maroe, spokesperson for Broward County.

The Hollywood Commission held CORRESPONDENT

dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com

a special meeting and agreed to support this surtax. The City has not determined how the money would be spent.

"I am delighted. I think it provides the cities with money to do things they would never be able to do without raising taxes and enables the entire city

to benefit from improvements to the infrastructure," said Hollywood Commissioner Dick Blattner.

Also, the Broward Commission voted to provide low income senior citizens, an additional homestead property tax break. They approved up to

an additional $25,000 homestead exemption for homeowners age 65 and older with a household income of $28,482 or less. This increase boosts the maximum senior low income homestead exemption from $25,000 to $50,000.

This summer, Howard Wein Hospitality (HWH) debuts two new restaurants located at Diplomat Landing overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Bristol’s Burgers features ingredient-driven burgers served exclusively on house-baked sub rolls, boozy and non-boozy milkshakes made with homemade ice cream, and a full bar celebrating retro-inspired cocktails. Portico is a rustic outdoor beer and wine garden serving over 20 beers, wines and cocktails, all on tap, and a menu of light Italian fare.

Bristol’s Burgers, now open, is a timeless burger joint with modern upgrades in food, drink and design. The unique oval-shaped burgers, created using a proprietary signature blend of beef, will be served on house-made sub rolls and accompanied by ingredient-driven toppings.

The menu will highlight five signature burgers including the House Cheeseburger with melted cheddar, house-made pickles and Louis dressing, and the Porter Barbeque Burger with griddled onions, Monterey jack, and porter barbeque sauce. Other modern twists include a vegan quinoa burger, and the option to request a fresh-baked gluten-free roll for any burger.

Portico, opening later in June, is a waterfront beer and wine garden serving sharable, light Italian favorites with an exclusively on tap beer and wine program. An assortment of small plates like Fried Green Beans, Roasted Cauliflower and Kale-Avocado Salad will be

The Five Essential Reasons Why YOU Should Enroll in Leadership Hollywood Class XLI

Our

A

Sere

1. Obtain a Better Perspective on Community Challenges

“I became a Hollywood resident and business owner 3 years ago and used to make decisions based on my personal priorities and experiences… but after completing Leadership Hollywood, I now attempt to understand how my decisions will impact the community as a whole. My thought process is completely changed and I am more motivated than ever to look for ways to make a difference!”

Dinah Pickett, Franchise Owner, Home Instead Senior Care Hollywood, LH 38

2. Develop and Expand Your Network

“I joined Leadership Hollywood just after opening my own office in Hollywood and the program provided me the opportunity to learn about the city, meet public officials, and make invaluable connections throughout the community. These connections have helped me grow my business and discover new opportunities to get involved in the community. I highly recommend the program to anyone who lives or works in Hollywood.”

Lenny Ortiz, Attorney, Leonardo Ortiz, P.A. LH 38

3. Partake In a Life Altering Experience

“Leadership Hollywood is an essential component on a track to personal involvement within the community. The program offers the opportunity to excel individually and professionally and to emerge as an integral cog in the wheel that is Hollywood, Florida.”

Joel Stoyer, General Manager, Enchanted Isle Hollywood Beach, LH38

4. Leave a legacy for our community through community projects.

“The community involvement of LH 39 was the most positive learning experience for me! Leaving a legacy through our community project was a great feeling. Thanks to LH39 and the wonderful leaders of our program, I am now a better leader for myself and others.”

Daniela Roeder, Account Executive, Entercom South Florida LH39

5. Discover the Real Leader in you.

“Participating in Leadership Hollywood 26 was one of the best decisions I ever made. Already heavily involved in the community, the program exposed me to education regarding social services, the judicial system, media market, health services, the government, environmental issues and more. The value of working as a team was promoted with handson activities. Building relationships with business contacts and establishing lifelong friendships was encouraged. The Leadership Hollywood program played an instrumental role in my journey to represent the good people of Hollywood by serving as City Commissioner”

Executive Corner, Anne Hotte, CEO / Executive Director Your Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is most proud of the accomplishments of its Leadership Hollywood class XL (40) for the community! The graduation at The Diplomat Resort & Spa was a perfect ending to an outstanding year of learning about all the different facets of the greater Hollywood from environment to government, business, education, healthcare, tourism, economy and legal system! Lois Weiss, a class participant and Hollywood resident, was voted by her peers to represent the leadership program on the Chamber’s Board of Directors. Kudos to class XL and contact the Chamber if you are interested in joining class XLI (41) at 954-923-4000 or www.

HollywoodChamber.org Also, after 21 years of co-habitation, the Chamber bid farewell to its partner and friend the Hollywood Downtown and Beach CRA (Community Redevelopment Area)! The CRA had outgrown the space they leased and we wish them well in their new establishment. There are now 2 suites available for rent in the Chamber building if anyone should be interested in capturing the heavy business traffic that comes through on a daily basis.

The Chamber is also proud to be partnering with the City in its new program to be launched at the City commission meeting on July 6th called “Let’s Keep Hollywood Beautiful”! We will connect residents and businesses to financial resources available to fund improvements. Have a wonderful summer everyone and believe your Chamber is here to serve you!

SCHOOL NEWS

Broward Technical Schools deliver the most industry certifications to students in Florida Sheridan Technical ColCORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com lege was among the three Broward technical colleges that together earned the most industry certifications in Florida.

“At Sheridan, we had about 300 students who received industry certifications,” Bob Boegli, director of Sheridan Technical College in Hollywood. “We received $1,000 for each student who received an industry certification and are committed to having students complete and pass industry certifications that provide a credential that our graduates can show to an employer.”

These certifications are recognized at the state and national level and show that a graduate has mastered skills that prove he or she is qualified to work in a field. For example, nurses must pass a state examination. Auto mechanics have to pass a certification test. And those who want careers in information technology must comBY DAVID VOLZ

plete examinations. "This is not just a local teacher saying someone is a good student. It provides a better indicator of quality,” said Boegli.

The other schools are Atlantic Technical College and McFatter Technical College. Students at these colleges earned industry certifications on 48 tested areas. For this reason, the colleges received $644,562 from the Florida Department of Education Performance Incentive Funding. This money will be used to continue updating technology and equipment.

“This top ranking affirms that Broward County Public Schools have created programs committed to delivering high quality instruction,” said Superintendent Robert Runcie.

“Our technical colleges are doing whatever it takes to assure our students receive the highest quality education, and that they are on the right path to succeed in college and career.”

Two Hollywood High Schools rank as “America’s Most Challenging High Schools”

Congratulations to two Hollywood High Schools for earning a place on “America’s Most Challenging High Schools” 2016 list by The Washington Post.

South Broward High ranks 694 nationally and 132 in the state, and Hollywood Hills ranked 2184 nationally and 351 in the state, due to their success on providing access to advanced coursework to students.

In all, 26 Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) high schools earned placement on “America’s Most Challenging High Schools” list of nearly 2,300, which annually evaluates all 23,000 U.S. public high schools based on the number of graduating seniors taking Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Cambridge tests before graduation.

“Our high schools have raised the bar by providing opportunities

for all of our students to enroll in advanced classes,” said Superintendent Robert W. Runcie. “If you challenge students, students will meet the challenge. We’re seeing this happen throughout our District, and this national recognition validates the work of our high schools and students.”

The list evaluates schools on how widely they provide access to Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Advanced International Certificate of Education classes (AICE). “America's Most Challenging High Schools” ranks schools through an index formula that's a ratio of the number of AP, IB and AICE tests given at a school each year, divided by the number of seniors who graduated that year.

HEALTH

Why did she jump? Hollywood mom shares her daughter’s battle with bipolar disorder

BY DARLENE PISTOCCHI

COMMUNITY INTEREST CORRESPONDENT darlene@hollywoodgazette.com

Joan E. Childs has been in private practice as a psychotherapist (LCSW) for nearly 40 years in Broward and Dade counties. She is also a resident of Hollywood for the past fourteen years living in West Lake Village and the mother of five. Sadly, she lost her eldest daughter, Pamela, when she was just 34 years old.

“On July 2, 1998, my beautiful, brilliant daughter, Pamela Ann Glassman, a clinical psychologist and social worker, leaped to her death from her father’s 15th story window. She battled bipolar disorder for ten years,” shares Childs. “When in a delusional state, the disease pushed her out the window. I don’t believe my daughter committed suicide; it was her illness that was her executioner.”

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. for all ages, ahead of homicide which is ranked 17th, and takes the lives of over 38,000 Americans every year and 800,000 worldwide according to the World Health Organization.

“As a child, Pam was precocious, lovable and adored by her family,” recalls Childs. “She did not exhibit any mental disorder until she was in high school; however, it went completely unrecognized as a mental disorder for many years.”

Childs says Pam appeared more like a typical contrary teenager with bad habits that included sloppiness, haughtiness, being confrontational and telling lies.

Her behavior became intolerable and after a confrontation between the two, Pam picked up and left home in November of her junior year to live with her father.

“There was no way I was able to convince her to stay and complete her junior year. She was a cheerleader, in Thespians and had many friends who tried desperately to convince her to stay and work it out with me. But we were all powerless and in a split decision, she left her siblings and me. It was a shock to all of us and my heart was shattered when she refused to reconsider.”

Depression affects 20-25% of Americans ages 18+ in a given year; with suicide as the 2nd leading cause of death in young people from the ages 1525, according to the CDC. “It takes about 10 years to make a differential diagnosis for Bipolar Disorder,” explains Childs. “There are no tests to determine a diagnosis. Today

Pam and Joan Childs there is a spectrum. We know of Bipolar I and Bipolar II, but now are convinced that there is a spectrum including I, II, III and IV depending on the symptoms and interview. It is a very difficult diagnosis to determine because it mimics so many other psychiatric disorders. Obtaining a differential diagnosis takes a skilled psychiatrist and a lot of time. It’s a treacherous mental disorder often causing suicide in very violent fashion.”

Pam did move on with her education and graduated from University of Missouri, then attended Adelphi College where she received her Masters in Social Work and later a PhD in Clinical Psychology in L.A. She was extremely successful as a psychotherapist where she worked for the John Bradshaw Institute in L.A. “John referred to her as ‘a wizard therapist’,” shares Childs, “drawing the lightening to herself to help her patients who were there due to childhood traumas that were interfering with their lives as adults. Many had been using drugs and alcohol as a way of self- medicating.

When they were sober, Pam would do the Inner Child work and teach them new ways to define themselves. Her work was transformational.”

At 24, Pam came back to South Florida for a short time to be hospitalized.

“Her roommates contacted me to advise me that her behavior had been inappropriate and frightening. They

“I saw my daughter change from a beautiful, There is one day in intelligent, successful Joan Child's life that woman into a regressive, she wishes she could frightened little child fearful that the devil was do over: the day her going to take her soul. daughter Pam, a brilShe was hallucinating and fearing for her life liant psychotherapist, that would be taken by plunged from a fifteenthe devil.” story building to her Pam passed when she was 34 years death.

Hollywood Scavenger Hunt is set for Sept. 16-25; kick-off Sept. 14 Looking for something fun, PUBLISHER jennifer@hollywoodgazette.com free and adventurous to do with the family this fall? Consider participating in Hollywood's second annual citywide scavenger hunt.

Organized by Hollywood Gazette, and presented by Hollywood Kia, this tried-and-true activity works with smart phone technology to track missions you complete for points and prizes.

Hundreds of missions will lead participants to discover a diverse sampling of all Hollywood has to offer. Participants can expect to learn about the history of Hollywood and will discover art, culture and natural beauty throughout the city.

Participation is free and only a smart phone is needed to play. The majority of the missions require no cost or a nominal cost to complete.

"If a monetary consideration is involved in completing a mission, we work with the partnering organization to get the cost below $10," said Tina Stiles, Associate Publisher of Hollywood Gazette. "For example, last year one of the

While most participants have said they are only playing for the fun of it, the top three teams will be awarded prize packages: $500 for the top team; $150 for second place and $75 for third plus a bundle of goodies from community partners.

This year's hunt coordinator is Zoe Dekeles, a former hunt participant and fan. Dekeles has been hard at work creating new missions this year based on her

personal experience with the hunt. The Dekeles family participated in the past two scavenger hunts and was a finalist each time.

This year, a community kick-off party will be held at the Hollywood Jaycee Hall the week of the hunt where competitors can meet, mingle and strategize.
