In 1958, the Hollywood Sun-Tattler beat out more than 2,000 other non-dailies to take top honors for general excellence from the National Editorial Association.
The Hollywood Publishing Co. was one of numerous departments created under Joseph Young's business enterprise, the Hollywood Land and Water Co.
By Caron Conway Lead Correspondent Years before Hollywood officially became a city, its desirable attributes were touted to prospective residents in founding father Joseph Wesley Young's news magazine, The Hollywood Reporter. Its debut in February 1922 began a long tradition of hometown news coverage that the Hollywood Gazette, celebrating its eighth anniversary this month, proudly continues. Hollywood's growth during its early years and its future plans were diligently chronicled in the monthly Reporter by editor and writer O.E. Behymer. Billed on its masthead as "A Florida Magazine with a National Appeal," The Hol-
Joseph Young published the city's very first newspaper, the Hollywood News, which debuted in January 1924.
lywood Reporter started as a house organ, a newspaper or magazine published by a company as a means of promoting its products or services. It evolved into a local publishing empire. The Hollywood Publishing Co. was one of numerous departments created under Young's business enterprise, the Hollywood Land and Water Co. Within a year and a half, the Reporter had grown from a four-page sheet with a mailing list of fewer than 2,000 addresses to an eight-page slick paper news bulletin with a circulation of 10,000 copies and a broadened focus that included interests in other parts of Florida. The September 1924 issue saw a name change to The Hollywood Magazine to reflect the publication's loftier aspirations.
Yet another name change came in 1926 with the March /June edition of South, which thereafter was a monthly publication that was printed, as were all the others, at the Young company's own plant. Young also published the city's very first newspaper, the Hollywood News, which debuted in January 1924. It was sold five years later to South Broward publisher Leo Stetson, who would also soon take over the Hollywood Herald, another early, local newspaper. A stormy political climate contributed to a proliferation of competing publications by opposing local factions, including scandal sheets such as the Free Press and the Kit-Kat. At one time, Hollywood had four free, local newspapers, each with its own political interest. Among the early publications were the Daily News of Hollywood, West Hollywood Reporter, West Hollywood Press and South Broward News. The three dailies at the time, The Miami News, The Miami Herald and the Fort Lauderdale Daily News, also maintained bureaus in Hollywood. The areas existing daily newspapers, The Miami Herald and the Sun-Sentinel, continue to cover Hollywood news and features.

Free program saves Hollywood residents an average of 23% on prescriptions Broward County residents who have used Prescription Drug Discount Cards offered by the County's Human Services Department saved more than $1.5 million over the retail cost since the launch of the program in Broward. The card is used by an average of 2,028 people each month. In partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo), Broward County launched the free discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescription drugs. All County residents may use the cards, regardless of age, income or existing health coverage at any participating retail pharmacy. A national network of more than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies will honor the NACo prescription discount card, including most chain pharmacies and many independents. Cardholders can also save on pet prescriptions at participating retail pharmacies. Since its inception in 2004 on a national level, NACo reports that consumers have saved more than $200 million on 16 million prescriptions. At least 1,230 counties in 47 states are making the free, money-saving cards available to residents. The national average savings per prescription filled is 23.8 percent. Cards are free and can be picked up at many Broward County government facilities, including parks, libraries, transit facilities, the downtown Governmental Center and the County's four Family Success Centers. For more information, residents can call toll free 1-877-321-2652.

National movement encourages residents to 'buy local' By Brett Daly Associate Editor For every $100 spent in locally owned, independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. This benefit to the community and to the local businesses are why eight Hollywood businesses support a nation-wide program called the 3/50 project, which motivates people to keep things local and spend their money in their own communities’ businesses. The project asks people to pick three of their favorite locally owned businesses and spend $50 between the three each month. Pick three, spend $50: the 3/50 project. According to the project’s Web site, if half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned, independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. For this reason, Heather Keenly, the general manager of Lola’s on Harrison, decided to support the cause and help independent businesses. “I really believe in supporting local across the board,” she said. “We’re a mom and pop business, and we really rely on locals for support.”
“The project asks
people to pick three of their favorite locallyowned businesses and spend $50 between the three each month. Pick three, spend $50: the 3/50 project.”
When she first heard about the 3/50 project earlier this year, she said she knew she wanted to participate. Any independent business can register as a participant on the 3/50 project’s Web site, and any organization or chain can register as a supporter. “Anytime our business comes across a program that supports local business, we’re interested,” Keenly said. “We want to show our beliefs in supporting local economies.” The 3/50 project began in March 2009 by Cinda Baxter, a retail consultant and professional speaker, who owned her
own retail store for 14 years and felt obligated to pass on her knowledge of running a successful independent business. With one blog post about the positive impacts local businesses have on the economy, Baxter gained national attention, receiving 7,500 hits on her site within the first week. As of May 2009, 5,000 businesses were registered supporters, 7,500 people were fans on the 3/50 Project's Facebook page and 79,500 people had visited the Web site. Another Hollywood supporter, Luz Fernandez, owner of Comfort Zone Studio & Spa, said residents need to support local businesses to keep them open, especially in these tough economic times. “This is our community, and the more profitable a business is, the better off we all are,” Fernandez said. She said having one business close causes a trickle-down effect because people lose their jobs, leading to less money for themselves and for supporting the community. She, therefore, wants to help other independent businesses. “As a business owner, I not only want to stay in business but also want to support local restaurants and stores that I frequent,” she said. “I think it’s very important to support our businesses in
Hollywood, and I think this program is wonderful because it supports our community.” Supporting the 3/50 project was also an easy decision for Rich Aube, owner of The Coral House on Hollywood Beach. He said he supports programs like the 3/50 project to see Hollywood develop and return to the way it was prior to the recession. He said he is optimistic that Hollywood will recover because the city puts a lot into the community, and he can really see his tax dollars put to good use. Aube said he supports local businesses because he, like many business owners, has invested his whole life into his hotel and wants to see it pay off. “I want to see Hollywood grow,” Aube said. “I support any program that helps Hollywood flourish.” Other Hollywood businesses registered as participants of the 3/50 project include Al's Florist & Gifts, Hollywood Eyes, Mickey Byrne's Irish Pub, Pinkghost, Sub-Oligist and The Little Bakery, and other Hollywood organizations have registered as supporters of the 3/50 project.

Annual wine tasting event set for Oct. 2 raises funds for scholarships The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will hold its seventh annual fundraising and wine tasting event, Grape for Grades, on Oct. 2 to benefit the Hollywood Florida Scholarship Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization that provides college scholarships to deserving high school seniors from local Hollywood high schools. The event, which will be held at the Hollywood Beach Marriot, will include wine tasting, food, jazz, a silent auction and a raffle drawing for a 10-day Mediterranean cruise. Robert Rentzer, chairman of the event, along with Chamber member Carlos Jimenez, created the event as a way to give back to the community and decided to help the scholarship foundation because of the education factor. "People should support the future of the young adults of Hollywood," Rentzer said. "They are great kids, but they have an economic need [to attend college]." Over the last six years, the Grapes for Grades fundraiser raised $147,000 for the scholarship foundation, and this year, they would like to increase that amount by 15 percent. "Each year, the event gets bigger and bigger," Rentzer said. "It humbles me

that we have given such an outstanding amount of money to the foundation." Tickets cost $60 prior to the event and $70 at the door, and a Wine & Dine Deal, which includes two event tickets and one raffle ticket, can be purchased for $200. Tickets are available at the Chamber building or online at www. hollywoodchamber.org. "We're hoping to accomplish another great event," Rentzer said. "We just want to have a good event and put on something we can be proud of." For more information, e-mail Sue Ann Scharon at sueann@ hollywoodchamber.org or call 954-9234000, ext. 14.

Hollywood Playhouse offers more than just theater By Caron Conway Lead Correspondent The Hollywood Playhouse is ushering in its new season with a new look and a new focus that extends beyond the typical theatrical offerings. But the venerable theater is also honoring its history and its mission since 1947 to provide the community with a quality theater. It wasn’t always easy, with the drama offstage often rivaling that onstage. But in true “the show must go on” fashion, the Hollywood Playhouse has always managed to overcome major obstacles that have included financial difficulties and the threat of eviction from its historic home at 2640 Washington St. And the Hollywood Playhouse, one of South Florida’s oldest theaters, is intent on surviving the current economic downturn with its characteristic “steadfast determination,” said Alice Pradere, the theater’s executive director. “Our mission in these economic times is to continue to be a local community haven in Hollywood for the arts.” The new season at the Hollywood Playhouse will kick off in October with Thornton Wilder’s lighthearted classic comedy "The Matchmaker." Following what Pradere called a much-needed hibernation marked by extensive renovations over the past two years, theatergoers will be introduced to a sparkling
new playhouse interior. New playhouse owner Israel Valdes spent several thousand dollars restoring the 265-seat facility. “While taking great pains to preserve the theater’s original character and history, the restoration team revived the luster in every bit of the Hollywood Playhouse so that it shines like the jewel that was birthed in Hollywood over 60 years ago,” Pradere said. In the rejuvenated lobby, now known as the Sky Light Lounge and Bar, patrons can enjoy a fully stocked bar before, during and after the show in what Pradere describes as an “updated lounge atmosphere that contributes to the glamorous feeling of a complete night out at the theater.” Photos from original plays from the 1940s, original drawings and playbills are on display in the theater to restore the sense of history, Pradere said. The landmark playhouse was designed by architect Kenneth Spry, one of the organizers of Hollywood’s Little Theater, an amateur troupe. Formed in 1933, the group disbanded during World War II. The Little Theatre of Hollywood reorganized in 1947 and sought a permanent home. The City of Hollywood donated the land for the theater. Today, the 18,000-square-foot Hollywood Playhouse is a full-service venue that features one of the largest stages in South Florida, a recording studio, dance studio, design shop, film-editing suites and a closed
soundstage with a customizable cyclorama for compositing and filming purposes and for creating virtual sets. Film and video production services are available through an in-house production company, Real Productions. The diversity of the cultural facility’s program offerings extends beyond its live performance schedule. The Hollywood Playhouse’s new owner is committed to providing outlets for the community to enjoy free resources such as Girl’s Night Out. These networking events offer ladies of all ages the opportunity to mingle in the Sky Light Lounge and Bar, meet sponsors who offer products of interest to women and listen to a panel of speakers selected for their ability to inspire and encourage. Other offerings at the Hollywood Playhouse include Connect Networking events, acting/theater classes, free informational seminars and paid weekend courses conducted by Discovery of Your Potential. Live theater, of course, is the heart and soul of the Hollywood Playhouse. With the start of its 62nd season, “The Hollywood Playhouse arrives full circle this fall as it reopens its historic doors to the same backyard community it has served for decades,” Pradere said, “and continues the same tradition by consistently bringing forth quality theater entertainment in our local neighborhood.”
The first show of the season, "The Matchmaker," is a fast-paced farce set in 1884 Yonkers, N.Y. Wilder’s story, which was also the basis of the musical Hello, Dolly!, revolves around matchmaking widow Dolly Levi and her penny-pinching client, half-a-millionaire Horace Vandergelder, with a web of romantic complications involving Vandergelder’s two overworked assistants and an attractive millineress and her assistant. The show stars Cynthia Calkin as “Dolly” and Michael Bienvenu as “Mr. Vandergelder” and is directed by Herb Ault, 82, a Hollywood resident and retired drama teacher who has been involved with the Hollywood Playhouse in various capacities since the 1950s. “[Ault] saw the theater through its glory days and then witnessed it fade away into the state of disrepair, and then again beheld the transformation that started in 2007,” Pradere said. “Ault saw the recent completion as the perfect opportunity to bring an old classic back to life on an all-new stage.” Shows are at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, Oct. 1-30, with matinees at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays and Sundays. Tickets are $30 for general admission and $25 for children, seniors and groups. For more information, call the Hollywood Playhouse Box Office at 954-922-0404 or visit www.hollywoodplayhouse.com.

Hollywood woman seeks frequent flyer miles for veterans Local assisted living facility residents collect 'hero miles,' donate to military families By Brett Daly Associate Editor As a World War II navy veteran, 86-year-old Janet Parham knows the importance of VA medical centers. She also knows the importance of family support in difficult situations. Because of this, Parham supports the Fisher House Foundation, and more particularly the Fisher House Hero Miles program, and promotes community awareness of the two. The Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization, donates comfort homes, built on the
grounds of major military and VA medical centers around the country to enable family members to be close to a loved one during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease or injury, according to the Fisher House Web site. When Parham picked up a copy of American Legion Magazine and read about the foundation's Hero Miles program, a program comprised of individual airlines whose passengers donate their frequent flyer miles to assist service members' families travel to VA hospitals, she wanted to participate. "As long as you have patients in the VA hospitals, the families are going to want to see them," Parham said. "This is a wonderful program." So, last year, Parham encouraged the residents at Classic Residence by Hyatt, where she resides, to donate their unused frequent flyer miles to the program or ask

County Commissioner Sue Gunzburger David L. McGinnis, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, presented the awards on behalf of the Office of the President. "This project is an example of how creative military and community leaders can employ funding available to train our Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve members to skill levels not otherwise affordable, while at the same time, making a positive impact on our environment," McGinnis said.

foundation's Web site. The 16,000 tickets are the equivalent to 750 million frequent flyer miles. Parham said that whenever they see a veteran on television with his or her family, they wonder if their donated miles paid for the plane ticket for the family to be together. "We're all very proud of it," she added. Parham and the Classic Residence by Hyatt residents are collecting miles again and are encouraging Hollywood residents to support the troops and donate their miles to the program, too. Parham wants to increase the awareness of the program because she thinks it's an easy program to participate in. "It doesn't cost people a thing to donate their miles, and it's for a wonderful cause," she said. If you're interested in donating your miles, call 954-963-0200 and leave a message for Janet Parham.

Broward County Commissioner Sue Gunzburger accepted the Coastal America Partnership Award along with a congratulatory letter from President Barack Obama last month for the county's participation in the Osborne Reef Artificial Tire Removal Project. The project is a joint effort between federal, state and county government agencies to remove between one to two million tires put in the ocean off Broward County in an attempt to create an artificial fish habitat during the 1970s. Over the years, tropical storms and hurricanes mobilized the tires, causing damage to existing nearby coral reefs and causing the NOAA Marine Debris Program to fund a project to remove the tires. Broward County agencies receiving the Coastal America Award and Presidential recognition include Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management, Port Everglades and Broward County Parks and Recreation. Representatives from the U.S. Navy, Army, Coast Guard, NOAA and Florida's Department of Environmental Protection also received the Coastal America Partnership Award for their work in the project.
family and friends to do the same. Within two months, the residents collected 600,000 miles and donated them to Hero Miles. "This is Parham something we feel we can do for the families and these injured patients," she said. "They were just delighted at Fisher House." Since the program began five years ago by Congressman Dutch Ruppersburger (D-MD), the public has donated enough frequent flyer miles for the Fisher Foundation to provide more than 16,000 free airline tickets to service members and their families, according to the

There we were in Hollywood, Florida preparing for the fast approaching hurricane. Caught at the end of summer vacation at Grandpa's Hollywood home, 1833 Madison St., we had 46 windows to shutter. All boarded up, we went inside through the side door. It was totally dark. We had flashlights, a battery operated radio, canned and fresh food, crackers, peanut butter and bottles of water. The hurricane, unnamed in the

forties, hit around noon. The winds picked up, the sky turned a funny orange color and the tops of the palms almost touched the ground. After a while grapefruit, oranges, fronds and pieces of tin were flying by. My sister Joyce and I were teens. This was fun! The "all clear" sounded the next day around 5 p.m., approximately 36 hours later. We drove straight to the ocean. Huge royal palms were down along Hollywood Boulevard. The holes left looked like excavations for small houses. The ocean was a pale brown. Leaving Hollywood soon after, I remember three things: the city of Stuart was almost totally destroyed, winds at Hollywood clocked in at 125 mph and there was only one fatality: a Miami man trying to save his yacht had drowned in Biscayne Bay. One of my top adventures. Lynn F. Molloy lives in Vero Beach, Florida. She can be contacted at lfmolloy@comcast.net.

"peanut" Hello. My name is Peanut Stefaniak. I am a 7-monthold, red, shorthair miniature dachshund. While I am still a puppy, I recently learned to bark, which has come in handy in my self-appointed duty as the guardian of the house. For example, I'm not sure exactly how all those animals managed to get inside our television set, but I do keep a vigilant eye on them, never hesitating to photo submitted by monica stefaniak
issue a stern warning bark to remind them to keep to their side of the screen. I know that mommy, Monika, and daddy can sleep more soundly because of my new found barking powers.

Hollywood artists share papier mâché passion By Brett Daly Associate Editor Hollywood residents Divitto and Andrea Kelly share a passion for the arts that has revamped an old craft favorite: papier mâché. The most well-known version of papier mâché simply includes flour, water and newspaper, but Divitto kicked it up a notch and now uses special papier mâché mix, tissue paper for a pop of color and sometimes uses Styrofoam for faster projects. “This isn’t your grandparents’ papier mâché,” Divitto said. “You can do so many cool things with it, and it’s something you can be really creative with.” Divitto’s wife first exposed him to the craft at an art studio she and her mother used to own, and Divitto found a new hobby. “You want to do what you enjoy,” he said. “Doing the art work is really special.” Divitto’s creativity has led to the creation of a six-foot jet, eight-foot butterfly and a six-foot strawberry frosted pop tart – one of his favorite pieces. Since 1998, his creations have been displayed in libraries in Hollywood and A 6-foot paper South Florida, and mache pop tart looks he has also made good enough to eat. special requests for businesses, including the professional hockey team the Boston Bruins, and for anyone else looking for special

decorations for parties, restaurants, etc. To share his creativity with others, Divitto now offers classes to teach children the art of papier mâché along with his wife, who is an art teacher. “It’s been a lot of fun teaching classes to the kids,” he said. “They’re learning something and creating something that’s all their own.” Andrea also puts on the arts and crafts at Downtown’s Funtastic Fridays, and the creative couple also put on papier mâché demonstrations at the ArtWalk. “We’re ready to take on the creative world,” Divitto said.

Stressed out? Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response. Some stress can be good. It keeps us alert, motivated and ready Richard J. to avoid danger. Wilbur M.D. Too much stress, on health column the other hand, can make us sick. Stress that continues without relief can lead to distress, a negative stress reaction. Distress can disturb the body's equilibrium, leading to physical symptoms such as insomnia, sexual dysfunction, chest pain, headaches, stomach trouble or high blood pressure. Emotional problems like depression and anxiety can also result from distress. Financial, relationship and family problems can all trigger anxiety and sadness, so we consider these normal feelings. These feelings deviate from normal when they intensify, impair everyday functioning and affect the quality of life. For people with an anxiety disorder, overwhelming worry and fear is constant, even when nothing is wrong. They worry about everything and cannot relax and have obsessive thoughts, feelings of panic, trouble sleeping, heart palpitations and cold or sweaty hands. The distress controls their lives. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States with an estimated 13 percent of Americans affected. It also costs more than $42 billion dollars annually. Repeated use of health-care services account for about half of these costs. People with anxiety disorders seek relief for symptoms that mimic physical illness. People with anxiety disorders are five times more likely to go to the doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for a psychiatric
disorder than those who don't suffer from anxiety. Fortunately, anxiety disorders are treatable. But, before treatment begins, a doctor must conduct a careful diagnostic interview and examination. If the doctor diagnoses a patient with an anxiety disorder, the doctor must also diagnosis the type of disorder as well as any co-existing conditions, such as depression or substance abuse, since people frequently misuse substances or engage in damaging behaviors to relieve stress. These may include food, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, sex, shopping or the Internet. Rather than relieve stress, these substances and compulsive behaviors tend to keep the body in a stressed state, causing more problems. The person becomes trapped in a vicious cycle. Treatment of an anxiety disorder may involve medication, specific types of psychotherapy or both. Medication will not cure anxiety disorders, but it can keep people under control while the person receives psychotherapy. The principle medications used are antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs and Betablockers, which can control some of the physical symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is also very useful in treating anxiety disorders. The cognitive therapy helps people change their thinking patterns that support their fears, and the behavioral therapy helps people change the way they react to anxiety-provoking situations. If an anxiety disorder may be affecting you or a loved one, consult with your physician. He may be able to initiate therapy or refer you to an experienced mental health professional. Richard J. Wilbur, M.D. is Board Certified in Internal Medicine. Dr. Wilbur practices at Safecare Medical Center’s Hollywood office, located at 4050 D Sheridan St., Hollywood, FL 33021.

Back to school, back to you Well, the kids are officially back in school, which means it's back to the routine. Soccer practice. Carpools. PTA meetings. Homework. It seems SHONDELLE like there is never a SOLOMON-MILES moment for yourself FITNESS COLUMN once that school bell rings. I'm sure you would agree that trying to start or maintain a fitness or weight loss program seems nearly impossible most days. However, I've learned in 11 years of fitness coaching that if you don't demand time for yourself to lead a healthy lifestyle, no one will give it to you. Here are a few tips to help get you started. 1. Many mothers say: With work and the kids I don't have time to exercise. Here's what I say: You can always go to bed 20 minutes earlier so that you can wake up 20 minutes earlier to take a brisk walk, pop-in an exercise video or take a brief jog on the treadmill, which actually does serve a purpose other than a clothes hanger. 2. When you prepare your children's lunch, prepare one for yourself that's filled with healthy snacks you can keep at work and in your car, so you never have to go more than three hours without a meal.
3. Take a homework break by performing a 15-minute exercise session with your kids. Your kids will appreciate the unexpected activity, and you'll burn some extra calories. 4. During the weekend, plan family outings that involve physical activity. This will allow you to get in an extra day or two of exercise, your kids will get away from the TV and the video games and you'll get a chance to spend quality time together as a family. 5. Unfortunately, convenience tends to take priority over healthy habits. To ensure you and your family are eating healthy, plan and prepare your meals on the weekend when you have some extra time. Season and Ziplock chicken breasts and fish filets. Cut up fresh fruits and veggies. Cook a pot of chili or spaghetti (with whole wheat pasta of course). 6. Find or identify your support network. Losing weight and getting in shape is challenging, especially without a support group. Take turns with a friend or with your husband watching the children while you workout, or if that's not an option, join a program that is kid friendly. Shondelle Solomon-Miles is the owner of Synergize! training studio. She is also the author of The Ultimate Fat Loss Guide. You can contact her at 954924-4465 or www.synergizeweightloss.com.

Roth IRA Conversions Part 1 of 2: Planning for New Opportunities With the lure of tax-free distributions, Roth IRAs have become popular retirement-savings vehicles since their introduction in 1998. But if you're a high-income taxpayer, chances are you couldn't participate in the Roth revolution. Well, that's about to change. What are the current rules?
limit for conversions and also allows conversions by taxpayers who are married filing separately. What this means is that regardless of your filing status or how much you earn, you'll be able to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. The bad news? This provision of the new law doesn't take effect until 2010. So why concern yourself with this now?
Even though the new rules don't take effect until 2010, there are steps you can take now if you want to maximize the amount you can convert in 2010. If you aren't doing so already, you can simply start making the maximum annual contribution to a traditional IRA and then convert that traditional IRA to a Roth in 2010. Your ability to make deductible contributions to a traditional IRA may be limited if you (or your spouse) is covered by an employer retirement plan and your income exceeds certain limits. But any taxpayer, regardless of income level If your Your 2009 Roth You can’t contribute or retirement plan federal filing IRA Contribution to a Roth IRA for participation, can status is: is reduced if your 2009 if your MAGI make nondeductible MAGI is: is: contributions to a More than $105,000, $120,000 or more Single or traditional IRA until but less than head of age 70.

PUBLICATIONS OF HOLLYWOOD Cont. from page 1 The most familiar of the now defunct local publications was the popular Hollywood Sun-Tattler. Its origin dates back to 1932, when a colonel on the governor's staff, Wallace Stevens, arrived in town and started the weekly South Broward Tattler, prompting a local newspaper war. T.S. McNicol, the city's former postmaster, established the weekly Hollywood Sun in January 1935. Six years later, Stevens bought the Hollywood News, which died the following year with the birth of the weekly Hollywood SunTattler, a merger of The Hollywood Sun and the South Broward Tattler in early 1942. The Hollywood Sun-Tattler became a twice-weekly paper in 1952 and expanded to three days a week in 1957, publishing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Cincinnati-based media giant E.W. Scripps Co., the Hollywood Sun-Tattler's owner since 1965, dropped Hollywood from the paper's name in 1983. Six years later, The Sun-Tattler became known as The Hollywood Sun. Despite the name changes, Hollywood's hometown paper was consistent on one point in its later years: It not only reported local news but often made news. Highlights include: Oct. 17, 1984: The newspaper's printing presses burst into flames, damaging six presses worth nearly $6 million. The 35,000-circulation, six-day-a-week paper is printed at The Fort Lauderdale News for almost two weeks. Sept. 24, 1986: An undercover police officer confiscates the film of two Sun-Tattler photographers, prompting a $3 million lawsuit against the Hollywood Police Department later settled for $12,000 in damages and legal expenses and the creation of a new policy prohibiting officers from confiscating materials from members of the news media. October 1988 : Following a decadelong newspaper war over readers in booming South Broward, E.W. Scripps puts The Sun-Tattler up for sale. Within days, 10 prospective buyers make inquiries. February 1989 : Scripps announces the sale of The Sun-Tattler to a group of Dallas investors, DTH Media Inc. March 1990: The community newspaper now known again as The Hollywood Sun lays off 40 percent of its staff and cuts back its publishing schedule from six days a week to three. Dec. 24, 1991: The Hollywood Sun stops the presses. Its owners release a statement saying the paper would be closing indefinitely pending a business review. Three months later, they file for bankruptcy.

At the height of its popularity, the community newspaper filled with local politics and letters to the editor reached a circulation of 43,000. The demolition of its landmark former home, a three-story building on Sheridan Street just west of Interstate 95 in September 1994 was a dramatic end to an important chapter in Hollywood's history. South Broward publications with Hollywood coverage that have both come and gone in recent years include the weekly Beach Digest, Hollywood Magazine and The Digest, which was published by Miami's Community Newspapers. The Hallandale Digest, a weekly newspaper whose coverage area included Hollywood, closed its doors after nearly 40 years in September 2002, and shortly after several longtime employees left to start their own weekly publication. The South Florida Sun Times also publishes in Hallandale Beach but includes Hollywood in its coverage. Current Hollywood-based publications are Hollywood 360˚, a local arts, culture and entertainment magazine produced by the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood with the City of Hollywood participating as a sponsor; and Cahoots, a quarterly publication that focuses on news and nonsense, in the words of publisher Jeff Hansen. "[We] like to make up stuff and see how many people believe it." Today, nearly nine decades after J.W. Young pioneered hometown news publishing, the Hollywood Gazette remains the only Hollywood-specific newspaper. Established in September 1991, the monthly paper is independently owned and published by Michael Brown with a circulation of 25,000 and 3,600 subscribers. "While the future of the print industry is being affected by emerging new online and smart phone applications, small niche publications like ours have an advantage because we can quickly adapt to the changing needs and interests of our readers. We've been working on our Web site component consistently for almost four years now," said Hollywood Gazette's general manager Jennifer Sandomir. "Our online edition is updated daily with video and interactive features like reader polls, contests and new ways for the public to interact with their community. For example, when Facebook users leave us comments, those comments instantly integrate with their Facebook 'wall.' Of course you can follow us on Twitter and become a fan of our page on Facebook. Soon there will even be an 'app' for us. It's a really exciting time to be in this industry." "We are also the only Hollywood newspaper that provides readers with a free subscription mailed to their homes each month," added Sandomir. Readers are encouraged to sign up for the subscription online at www.hollywoodgazette.com or call at 954-962-8180.
