DEVELOPMENT NEWS

City considers P3 proposal to redevelop 105 acres of Orangebrook Golf Course During a North Central CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com Hollywood Civic Association meeting on April 25th, Vice Mayor Traci Callari announced that a major developer has submitted a public – private partnership proposal (P3 proposal), to build an entertainment-based amusement park on 105 acres at the Orangebrook Golf and Country Club.

The City will not formally accept the proposal until they can ensure that the submission meets city and state ordinance requirements. Gardens Group Development has paid a $25,000 fee to the City staff to review the proposal that was submitted last week.

BY DAVID VOLZ

What do they want to develop?

Gardens Group Development intends to create a public space in Hollywood that is open and active on a daily basis with a variety of things to do. The developers stress that the Hollywood Gardens project will fulfill on the ‘Public Space Bill of Rights,’ drafted by the Project for Public Spaces, a long-standing planning and advocacy non-profit group.

Their proposal calls for plans to develop 105 acres to include golf, a water park, hotels, restaurants, a movie theater, bowling and a zip line. It is likely that at least part of the golf course would remain, probably 18 holes.

“We are passionate about Hollywood Gardens and what it can do for Hollywood because we believe strongly that it can fulfill for the community each of the points made in the Public Space Bill of Rights,” said Chuck Mineo, a principal in Gardens Group Development. “And, if each of those points is considered to be a good thing and we can accomplish them at Hollywood Gardens, then Hollywood Gardens must be a good thing for Hollywood too.”

About Orangebrook Golf & Country Club The Orangebrook Golf and Country Club is a public course in Hollywood and it unlikely that golf will be completely eliminated from the property. Currently Orangebrook, which contains two 18 hole

courses is being managed by JCD Sports Group.

This past year there were about 70,000 rounds of golf played on the two courses. A round of golf at Orangebrook is considered affordable by locals, ranging from $19 to $28 at Orangebrook.

Many nearby residents strongly oppose development of any kind on the site. But the City of Hollywood is facing financial difficulties and could use the additional money.

Nine-year-old Bella Rose Olson was born with a condition that meant oral surgery may be in her near future. Bella’s family lives in Downtown Miami but her insurance did not offer an oral surgeon whose qualifications they felt comfortable with.

“I started investigating pediatric oral surgeons in Broward and was fortunate enough to learn of Jason Portnoff,” recalls Bella’s mother Jody Olson. “Portnoff is a fantastic pediatric oral surgeon who had the experience and training I was looking for.” Once they met with Dr. Portnoff, only the choice of where to have the surgery was left.

pened. A beautiful clown appeared who we came to know was Lotsy Dotsy.”

Lotsy Dotsy Lotsy Dotsy has been the resident clown at Joe DiMaggio’s for almost 22 years, and is known as Chief of Clown Services.

“Growing up, I always wore polka dots,” Lotsy says. “I wore dresses with polka dots, a bow with polka dots, everything polka dots!”

A neighbor told her she should be called Lotsy Dotsy with all the dots she wore. And then she saw an ad about clowning.

“I didn’t like clowns as a kid but took the course,” Lotsy says. “I came to Joe DiMaggio’s in 1992 and we just had so much fun with bubbles, magic, hugging and singing. I felt so blessed and so privileged that they chose to take a chance on me. I’m a respiratory therapist who took a clown course and loved what happened from the day I walked into the building.”

Olson shares that Bella had told Lotsy Dotsy that she loved her crazy socks, and Lotsy said she’d be right back. “With brand-new crazy socks with tags on them for all the kids in the area. She was so outstanding and loving,” Olson says.

Lotsy says taking care of the whole family builds the trust, security, warmth and service necessary to help make the children and families feel better for just a little while.

As a mom, I was both appreciative

Bella and Lotsy Dotsy Joe DiMaggio saw in the center of the floor was a play Children’s Hospital area filled to the brim with toys, puzzles, “I chose Joe DiMaggio Children’s stickers and kid-size tables.

Olson says.

“My daughter asked Nicole if “What mother would not prefer she could go play too. I was so thankful general anesthesia to be provided by an that she was distracted from the fact she anesthesiologist who spends their days was about to have surgery and that she intubating kids?” Olson asks. “Walking hadn’t been allowed to eat a thing since into the hospital for the first time, my last night due to the impending anesthefirst impression was we were in a Disney sia. Whatever person designed this had World park for kids who just happen to to be a genius!” be having surgery.”

“Then,” Olson recalls, “as the kids The Olsons had been to many hospiwere playing, a most magical thing haptals but found Joe DiMaggio’s to be in a category of its own.

“We were greeted by happy people who talked to my child respectfully, like they were happy to see her and not like she didn’t exist, as is usually the norm.”

After the ministerial part of checkin, Bella was called in to get ready for surgery.

“We were greeted at the door by a young woman named Nicole who wore a tutu over her nursing scrubs,” recalls Olson. “My daughter and I just looked at each other, smiled and wondered if we were supposed to act like this was normal.” Later on, when they were comfortably situated in their room, and after seeing many other nurses wearing tutus, Olson and her daughter brazenly asked if this was an everyday thing. “We were told it was tutu-Tuesday and learned that each weekday, they celebrated something different,” Olson says.

‘Chief of Clown Services’ cheers up children for over 22 years at Joe DiMaggio’s and intrigued,” Olson says. “A hospital having a clown on staff really blew me away. I learned she was there for over 30 years, at first part-time, and the hospital received such good feedback from the kids, many of them so ill it was the only time they smiled or had something to look forward to, that she was kept on indefinitely and transitioned to full time.”

Then, just before Bella’s surgery, the anesthesiologist came to visit to introduce himself.

Along Came an Elf “His name was Dr. Elf,” Olson says.

“He told jokes so bad they were funny.

When I asked what his real name was, he showed me his ID. It said ‘Dr. Elf’ and swore it was true. He was so kind.”

Olson got to speak with Dr. Elf as long as she needed to. “It was strange, you’re lucky if a physician does a drive-by to introduce themselves. This doc shared how he wanted to work there because he so enjoyed children and it showed.”

“Since opening our doors in 1992, Joe DiMaggio’s has been focused and committed to the care of our patients and families,” Chantal Leconte, administrator and CEO a Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and Pediatric Services Memorial Healthcare System. “Our philosophy of patient and family centered care means that families and healthcare professionals are true partners working together to serve the best interest of the patient.”

Their extraordinary efforts have been recognized. Joe DiMaggio’s is the first and only children’s hospital in the world to achieve The Planetree Designation – the only award that recognizes excellence in person-centeredness across the continuum of care. It is also one of the largest public healthcare systems in the country, combining advanced technology and the expertise of the largest, most diverse group of board-certified pediatric specialists in the region.

“Bottom line, this hospital is from another world,” Olson says. “They even have a child’s voice in the elevator announcing the floors! They don’t miss a trick. My daughter was given a craft set to take home and play with while she recuperated. I cannot say enough about this place, they just think of everything.”

Joe DiMaggio’s has pediatric specialty practices in Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Miramar, Weston and Hollywood. For more information, visit jdch.com.

Hollywood Police reduce crime with license plate readers The Hollywood Police Department CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com is reporting a lot of success with its automated license plate reader and CCTV camera program. Since the program went into effect in the parking area of North Beach in 2016, crime, especially car burglaries and thefts has gone down by about 90 percent in the first quarter of 2017. In 2016, during the first quarter, there were 20 car burglaries and in the first quarter 2017, there were two car burglaries. There had been many vehicle burglaries in the North Beach parking area over the years. Also, the City of Hollywood has placed signs in the parking lot stating that the area is under video surveillance.

Phase one in North Beach has been completely installed. Phase two will soon be installed in downtown Hollywood and phase three will be placed on Federal Highway. Eventually the license plate readers will be placed throughout sections of western Hollywood. The cameras are mounted on police cars, mobile units or on poles.

Police officers have access to the reports

generated by the cameras, according to Hollywood Police Detective Daniel Justus. Hollywood police also gain information from other cities that have license plate reader programs. They can be on the lookout for stolen cars that might come from other cities.

“We get monthly license plate readouts. It lets you know about stolen vehicles," said Justus. "If a car is stolen, the license plate is entered into a national data base and it can be tracked as soon as it gets to Hollywood.”

All Hollywood Police Cars have access to license plate readers. An officer on patrol can know immediately if a stolen car is being driven nearby. There is software installation for the license plate readers in all police vehicles. “We have tripled the number of arrests for car thefts. We are focusing on areas that have had many car thefts,” said Justus.

CCTV cameras allow Hollywood Police to observe crime as it is happening.

A police officer can watch multiple areas through the CCTV cameras can call dispatch if a criminal act is observed.

This program is considered successful.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: Should Hollywood street names get updated?

BY DAVID VOLZ

Many cities in the southern U.S. dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com have had the often painful task of considering streets in their communities named after Confederate soldiers, which at one time likely lauded by their local community, today may be viewed negatively.

CORRESPONDENT

“These names are offensive to a good portion of our population.

Hollywood is an inclusive and diverse city and you can’t honor someone who is not honorable.”

- Commissioner Kevin Biederman While Hollywood leaders continue grappling over street signs, a group of residents attended a recent workshop to deal with a possible name change of three roadways, including Forrest Street — named for Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general and a founder of the Ku Klux Klan.

The two other streets named for Confederate generals being considered for change are: Lee, named for General Robert E. Lee, and Hood, named for John Bell Hood. The city's African American Advisory Council agrees to the name changes.

Benjamin Israel is a longtime advocate of changing the street names.

He has made multiple presentations to the Commission asking the names be changed. He believes some of the commissioners are too concerned about preserving the status quo, not unlike political leaders in the 1950s.

While there are people in Hollywood who want the names changed, it may not be so easy to do. At least

8

May 2017

five of the seven members of the City Commission must agree to change the names of the streets; at least two-thirds of the property owners on those streets must sign a statement supporting the name change; and a street naming committee, which has not yet been formed, must review everything before selecting new names for the streets.

“I think history belongs in a museum,” said Commissioner Kevin Biederman, who said he believes the street names should be changed. “These names are offensive to a good portion of our population. Hollywood is an inclusive and diverse city and you can’t honor someone who is not honorable.”

Biederman believes the City should help the residents on these streets with a transition period. “There would be duel names on the signs for a time and eventually the streets would have new names,” he said, and suggested the streets be renamed for early Hollywood mayors.

The street name change would affect 335 homeowners on Forrest Street, 375 homeowners on Hood Street and 803 homeowners on Lee Street.

Changing the names would mean some inconvenience for homeowners who would be required to change their address on driver’s licenses, official property documents and mailing address.

Vice Mayor Traci Callari said the City should follow its process with a change in street names.

“I understand the history behind it and the reason people want the names changed. It is a really tough decision. I think the residents on the streets need to be informed,” Callari said. “They need to understand the reasoning behind the street name changes.”

During community and commission meetings, some residents and community activists spoke in favor of changing the street names. Others said they believe the names should remain in place as a way of remembering history, even if that history was not pleasant.

Some meeting attendees said that Lee, Hood and Forrest were honorable military leaders who should be respected. Also, residents on the affected streets have said they like the names of their streets and don’t want them changed.

From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Hollywood

BY KENT WALLACE ART & ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT

Comrades in Arms sometimes come with the loss of limbs—in the case of Mike Sulsona and Hollywood resident, Sabino Carona; that was indeed the case, with a healthy dose of Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful) in the mix.

The two Marines meet in Okinawa in 1969, where Mike served as Sabino’s Squad Leader and boxing coach—an unbreakable bond was established.

In 1971, when both of Mike’s legs were blown off above the knee in Danang (Vietnam), and after he’d been read his Last Rights three times (in Vietnam, Guam and Philadelphia), the squad leader sent word to the front lines of Khe Sanh, that Sabino’s presence was desired.

In short order, the soldier was at the bedside of his squad leader…

The friendship has never stalled.

It had been, however, twenty-years since the two had met face-to-face. That all changed on April 22nd at Holly-

wood’s American Legion Post 92 (thanks to Post Commander Guy Pagan and www.soldierswish.org).

Mike, who had advocated for his Agent Orange afflicted friend, for many years, was present for the gifting of a van (from Mullinax Ford of West Palm

BY KENT WALLACE ART & ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT Hey, I’m all about root, root, root for the home team (Hollywood) but when one of my absolutely fav artists gets a gig in the outer boroughs (Wynwood, in this case), why, then, I’m up on the soap box in a big-way!

MUNICIPAL NEWS

Commission considers establishing new taxing district in Emerald Hills would be part of this taxing district and 93 percent of the responses we got were in favor of creating the taxing district.”

During the April Commission meeting, residents complained they had not been given enough notice about the possibility of the new district. They said that while a notice had been sent, it appeared more like commercial mail or junk mail rather than an official city document. Some residents said they did not believe their neighbors wanted a new taxing district. They said there was

no real need to have more law enforcement in the neighborhood because there was no major problem with crime.

The Commission decided to continue the ordinance until the May 3 meeting. The Commission wants to hear more from residents in the community.

There is a possibility that this question will be put on a ballot in 2018.

If passed, the district will include the section west of 46th Avenue and includes 512 single-family homes.

The households who participate in this effort pay $700 per residence per year for the protection. Under the taxing district, all households in the western portion of Emerald Hills would be charged $250 per residence per year for the enhanced protection.

“This is something we need for western Emerald Hills,” said Andrew Sossin, who is leading the effort for the taxing district. “Since we started this policing program, crime in our community has gone down by 90 percent.

This is not only good for our community but for the entire area, because by us paying extra we are adding more police on the street.

We polled the people who DiplomatSummerCampBrochure3.indd 1

Should the City of Hollywood CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com create a new taxing district for Emerald Hills to pay for more police protection?

This is the question now before the Hollywood Commission. Some residents are in favor of creating the Emerald Hills Safety Enhancement District because they believe their neighborhood is particularly a good target for burglars.

Others believe it would only be an added and unnecessary cost.

At the first reading in January, residents of western Emerald Hills spoke in favor of creating the district.

For about seven years, a group of about 200 residents have been paying an off-duty Hollywood police officer to patrol their neighborhood during daytime hours. Emerald Hills is considered a pleasant neighborhood and therefore a good target for burglars, according to people who spoke during the meeting.

Interstate 95 expanded express lanes are coming

soon to Hollywood.

The Florida Department of Transportation recently presented the City Commission with efforts to improve I-95 Express Lanes within the limits of Hollywood, phase two of a years-long project.

The purpose of express lanes is to provide an alternative to congestion, and to serve drivers who are making long-distance trips. It will provide additional system capacity on I-95.

The 1-95 project will run from south of Stirling Road to south of Broward Boulevard. Construction will extend south of Hollywood Boulevard to accommodate southernmost express lane entrances and exits. The I-595 project will run east of State Road 7 to east of I-95.

Major improvements include the addition of two express lanes, one in each direction on I-95 from Stirling

Road to Broward Boulevard, including ramp signaling. There will be express lanes entering and exiting north of Hollywood Boulevard and north of Stirling Road; direct connections between northbound and southbound I-95 express and I-595 to and from the west; and a widening of the I-595 median.

Improvements will also be made to the I-95/SR 84 interchange, including a new westbound SR 84 bridge over I-95 and a northbound ramp bridgewidening. There will be a widening of the I-95 bridges at Hollywood Boulevard, Johnson Street, the C-10 Canal, Taft Street, Stirling Road, the C-10 Spur Canal, Griffin Road and the Dania Cutoff Canal.

The express lanes are priced to limit demand and maintain a minimum speed of 45 mph, resulting in a more reliable travel time. The express lanes can provide additional transit options such as express bus service and park-and-ride connectivity/multimodal connections.

Polly want a Cracker—Cheese and a Fine Wine too!

BY KENT WALLACE A&E CORRESPONDENT Parrot Coffee & Deli (1917 Hollywood Blvd.) is a palate paradise.

Coffee, of course—soups, salads, sandwiches (and so much more) and shelves packed with wine, olive oil, sauces and pastas—Parrot is a veritable one-stop international market place…

Owners Eddie Beikian and his lovely wife Devon opened the Hollywood hotspot in April 2014.

They’re both daily fixtures—behind the counter, in the kitchen—working every aspect of their operation.

“We moved to South Florida from New York in November 2013,” says Eddie. “Our intention was to open SoFlo’s first Parrot franchise (Eddie’s Great Grandfather opened the very first in Queens, NY decades ago).

“We checked out towns up and down the coast and inland too, but we knew Hollywood was the spot!”

“Hollywood was ideal,” Devon adds.

“We loved the quaint, walkable, rapidly growing downtown as well as the vibrant art scene.”

“And the populous is perfect—hipsters to oldsters and everyone in between!” Eddie finishes with a flourish.

Eddie and Devon are good neighbors, involved in myriad Downtown events and mitzvahs…

“We’ve been donating food to the Ben Gamla Charter School during Teacher Appreciation Week, since our inception,” Eddie says with pride.

Parrot also provides plenty of options—you can dine inside or out. There’s takeout or delivery (delivery includes breakfast, lunch or groceries).

They have a wide selection of quality meats and cheeses, salads galore, desserts and of course coffee, espresso and a variety of teas. Parrot is, quite simply, a mouth-watering emporium of eats, sweets and caffeinated kick-starters!

(Personally, I’m all about the $5.00 lox and bagel platter!)

“It’s about consistency, quality and providing hard-to-find international products—that’s what Parrot is all about!”

You can say that again… (to see more Parrot log onto: www.parrotcoffeedeli. com)

Hollywood Beach Resort may be redeveloped

BY DAVID VOLZ CORRESPONDENT

dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com

A group of developers is hoping to buy the Hollywood Beach Resort and build two luxury condominium buildings. Each building would have 500 units. The developers also would like to change the Hollywood Boulevard bridge and build a road so drivers could drive up to a new second-floor entrance.

At this point, no plans have been submitted to the City of Hollywood.

However, Mayor Josh Levy is excited about the possibilities and believes the property needs to be redeveloped. “The site is crying for improvement and there could be a consolidated group of owners who could make improvements that most of the residents would be glad to see. It could become a crown jewel,” Levy said.

Levy said he believes that when the hotel was built in 1925, it was

It Starts With U!

a very high-end property and was considered a high-class resort at the time. Wealthy people enjoyed visiting the resort, built by Joseph Young, and it was a location for concerts. Karen Albertson, president of the Hollywood Historical Society, said she believes the property has historic value and she does not want the building to be demolished.

Area developers have expressed a desire to rebuild the property. For a developer to buy the property, at least 80 percent of the condominium owners would have to agree to sell.

Efforts to ratify a 28th Amendment reach South Florida To date, 18 states and over 740 cities and towns have passed 28th Amendment resolutions

Actions in support of a 28th Amendment are escalating in Florida. On April 13, Florida Congressman Ted Deutch joined Jeff Clements of American Promise and Wanda Francis of Indivisible for a

Jeff Clements, American Promise

town hall in Fort Lauderdale.

Two weeks earlier, Ben Cohen, cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream and founder of Stamp Stampede, joined American Promise to rally over 400 people in St. Petersburg Florida in support of a 28th Amendment.

“Democracy is not what we heard about in grade school, said Ben Cohen, “but there is a chance now in Florida to help get it back.”

Cong. Deutch is the lead sponsor of a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United with nearly 100 cosponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives.

A Senate 28th Amendment bill has also been introduced with numerous cosponsors.

"Americans across the country and across the political spectrum are working to win the 28th Amendment to take power back to the citizens from the big money that has taken over our democracy,” said Jeff Clements Co-Founder and President of American Promise. “Congressman Ted Deutch is listening to the people, and leading the charge to get this Amendment through Congress and on to the states for ratification."

So far 18 states and over 740 cities

Citizen leaders, volunteers, and allies are gearing up to add Florida to the growing list of states calling for a 28th Amendment. and towns have passed 28th Amendment resolutions with cross-partisan support.

In Montana and Colorado, voters have approved 28th Amendment ballot initiatives by 75-25%. In November, Washington State became the 18th State to call for the 28th Amendment, with a voter initiative passing by wide margins in every region and every Congressional district of the state.

American Promise is leading the Citizen Uprising in Florida in hopes of giving voters the opportunity to weigh in on this issue on the 2018 ballot.

“The one goal of this endeavor is to win the 28th Amendment to get big money out of politics so that people – not

money, not corporation, not special interests – govern America,” said Rae Claire Johnson, Citizen Lead of American Promise – Tampa Bay. “This is how we re-establish common sense rules to regain balance in our democracy and guarantee free and fair elections.”

American Promise is spearheading a 50-state Citizen Uprising for one goal: the 28th Amendment to get big money out of politics. American Promise inspires, empowers, and organizes Americans from across the political spectrum to build support for the 28th Amendment community by community, state by state, to drive the Amendment out of Congress and to the States for ratification.

Hollywood plans 2018 budget

BY DAVID VOLZ

The City of Hollywood saved $234,000 in the first quarter of dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com 2017 by going to a four-day work week for most municipal employees. This savings was more than originally projected, and fewer sick and overtime hours were seen.

However, the City is projecting a $8.571 million shortfall, which must be closed and a balanced budget reached by October 1. Hollywood’s proposed general fund revenue is expected to be $247,469,602 and proposed total expenditures are $256,041,000.

The City Commission participated in its Annual 2018 Fiscal Retreat, in which an annual summary to update the Commission on the City’s financial position at this point in the current fiscal year was presented.

The projections for the upcoming year, along with input on spending priorities, which will serve as a road map in planning for 2018, were given.

The Fiscal year 2017 Total Operating Budget for all funds was $509,521,122 which is $19,897,842 more than Fiscal Year 2016. The proposed Fiscal Year 2018 General Fund Revenue is expected to be $247,469,602.

In February, the Broward County property appraiser gave a presentation forecasting a 7 percent increase in property values throughout the county. This will mean more revenue for the City of Hollywood.

CORRESPONDENT

Also at the meeting, the City’s Vision Hollywood 2020 aspirations were discussed.

House

Other goals discussed including making Hollywood more liveable, improving the quality of life and increasing civic pride. Also, there is a goal to improve city facilities and the city’s corridors.

Letter to the editor

I read with interest your article indicating that the Commission is going to spend, again, taxpayer money on signs 'requesting' that people from all over the world, who we encourage to visit Hollywood, not smoke on the Broadwalk.

How much did the Commission spend to post "NO DOGS ON BROARDWALK" signs only to have people like this [in top right photo] abuse the warning? I happened to approach these people and told them there are fines for taking dogs on the Broad- Hollywood Beach, FL walk and they totally ignored me. The Rangers we pay with CRA funds, which is also taxpayer dollars, are somewhat absent or enjoying their cell phones.

By the way, the posting of the signs listing prohibited items on the beach are usually hidden by being placed on street sides with things in front of them. If signs are to be posted, do it like they do in Virginia Beach, VA, make them visible.

Hollywood wants a new train station The City of Hollywood CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com is hoping for a train station that would serve passengers of Tri-Rail Coastal Link. It is not known if Tri-Rail Coastal Link will establish a train station in the city, but city officials want a station in the downtown area.

The Commission passed a resolution to jointly apply for with the Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency, and if awarded, to accept the South Florida Transit Oriented Development Grant to implement a station area master plan for an estimated cost of $205,000. This involves amending the Fiscal Year 2017 operating budget and authorizing a portion of the required 20 percent matching funds in the estimated amount of $16,400.

The station would be located on Dixie Highway between Fillmore Street and Hollywood Boulevard.

Commission OKs dumpster rules, funds auto parts, drug treatment

BY DAVID VOLZ

If your home is near a business or commercial property, the business must move its dumpster as far from your home as possible. That was a revision on the ordinance approved by the Hollywood Commission on second reading during a recent meeting.

Complaints were received by homeowners that nearby businesses placed enclosed dumpsters too close to residences. The goal is to move the dumpsters away from homes. The ordinance requires enclosures around dumpsters.

JM Auto Parts Enterprises and the City of Hollywood got

a green light from the City Commission and were issued a blanket purchase order for the supply and delivery of automotive and truck parts, accessories and supplies for an estimated expenditure of $190,000.

The Commission also approved a resolution authorizing a donation of law enforcement forfeiture funds, involving Florida’s Contraband Forfeiture Act, in support of community organizations and local agencies that provide drug treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention and crime prevention and safe neighborhood programs, in the amount of $79,000.

Hollywood Mom shares message of peace

BY DARLENE PISTOCCHI

COMMUNITY INTEREST CORRESPONDENT darlene@hollywoodgazette.com

Meet Loni Duek: Hollywood resident, mom, artist, certified meditation/ yoga/Reiki instructor and small business owner . Whew! She is one busy lady.

Balancing family, kids and business is no easy feat but this ambitious and motivated soul still wants to do more.

“Giving more to the community has always been a dream for me,” states Duek, who is committed to universal healing, nurturing and networking. “I believe in a strong support system to help the community grow and nurture one another.”

Duek’s list of accomplishments and giving is quite impressive.

She provides yoga instruction at Hollywood ArtsPark with the Brahma Kumaris group featuring Roz Reich and Etta Stevens; exhibits, guided meditation and healing at her Hollywood studio-Soulistic, located at 1909 Harrison Street in Hollywood; and she opens Soulistic every 3rd Saturday of the month to participate in Downtown Hollywood’s enchanting ArtWalk.

“I open my studio from 5 to 10

“I am a good people catcher, dreamcatcher and windcatcher,” says Duek.

p.m.,” says Duek. “We have a live DJ, henna tattoos and even card readings.”

The D.J., a Jamaican vegan, also joins Duek on the 4th Friday night of each month for Sunset Yoga on Hollywood Beach.

“We gently move to yoga while enjoying the beat of reggae to connect with the ocean.”

Duek also offers yoga and heal-

ing sessions at Soulistic everyday by appointment, with yoga and healing on Tuesday and Friday mornings and a healing class every Thursday from 7pm9:30pm.

“The class offers guided meditation, healing, sound healing and Reiki for all,” explains Duek. “I don’t believe in colors, sizes or shapes when it comes to people, rather unity.”

A native of Argentina, Duek first moved to Miami Beach before falling in love with Hollywood.

“I used to ride my bike through Hollywood Lakes,” recalls Duek. “It was so beautifull! I remember always saying to myself, I’m going to live here one day!”

That day came about 10 years ago, when Duek and her husband bought a house on Tyler Street.

“Then we had the kids. Tommy turns 10, May 14, and the twins, Mila and Maui, are 6. We started looking for a bigger home with a pool and we found one on Rodman Street in Hollywood.”

The family has been there ever since.

As for Duek’s accreditations, she volunteered for three years before

becoming certified in Reiki, Yoga and meditation. She offers private sessions at the studio which include: Reiki, sound healing, aromatherahapy, crystal and stone healing, meditation and card reading - oracle for guidance.

“I want to bring together people throughout the community with a message of peace and unity, always,” said Duek. “My studio is open for Reiki Circle, yoga classes, group classes and special events – like wine and art, mate tea events. We also offer holistic practices, events on the go and rental space for private celebrations, practice, events, etc. It is a one stop healing place for the community.”

It truly is. Soulistic offers a charming, quaint and peaceful vibe. Patrons who stop in can browse through candles, crystals, books, custom art and the warmth and vibrance that emanate from within.

Be sure to add this gem on your journey during the next Artwalk, May 20th, and look for Duek this summer at the Hollywood Library from June 14-August 2nd. She will be teaching Family Yoga on Wednesday mornings at 10:30am.
