HONORING THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE

Although it is now the Hillsboro Technology Center, many residents remember with great fondness the Deerfield Country Club that formerly occupied that parcel. What most people don’t realize, however, is that long before the property became a private country club it was first a producing orange grove and later a working dairy.

creatively speaking

BY SUSAN ROSSER

Lessons from the Playground I WAS CALLED TO THE PRE-SCHOOL BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER ZOE BIT A BOY. HE HAD SNUCK UP BEHIND HER AND TRAPPED HER IN HIS EMBRACE, her arms pinned at her sides and her feet dangling in the air. Other parents warned me this boy was aggressive with Zoe. They added he probably had a crush on her.

In a recent interview with Maureen Dowd of The New York Times, the actress Uma Thurman reveals a tortured past with the film producer Harvey Weinstein and the director Quentin Tarantino. She says “‘Personally, it has taken me 47 years to stop

calling people who are mean to you ‘in love’ with you.

It took a long time because I think that as little girls we are conditioned to believe that cruelty and love somehow have a connection and that is like the sort of era that we need to evolve out of.’”

At first, I didn’t understand what she meant by “cruelty and love somehow have a connection.”

And that question lingered with me for days before I remembered the story of Zoe’s school fight and my own playground debacle. In my version, a little boy named Danny was my third grade nemesis. (Perhaps he did have a crush on me. We eventually became great friends and he was my eighth-grade “boyfriend.”) One day, I demanded we meet during recess for a real fight. I won’t give you the blow-by-blow, but suffice it to say I emerged

victoriously and his boyhood was only slightly damaged by my foot. (It’s worth noting; I do not condone biting or kicking.)

So when Uma Thurman speaks of conditioning girls to believe that cruelty and love are intertwined — maybe this is what she is talking about. So many little girls are told that when a boy pulls their hair, pushes them or picks up their skirt — it is just a sign of affection. “He must like you,” we often say.

Perhaps we shouldn’t give a pass to the boy who pulls a girl’s hair as part of his natural development.

It may indeed be natural — but that doesn’t make it good. I have a tendency to lose my temper. It certainly feels natural — but it’s not good. Of course, I realize that not every boy who teases a girl will grow up to be like Harvey Weinstein. I’m merely suggesting we should pay closer attention when kids are mean to one another. And certainly, we should stop labeling it a sign of puppy love.

When a child likes another kid we should teach them to find out more. Find out what they are interested in or their favorite color. When my son was in preschool, a little girl in his class brought him tons of pirate paraphernalia from her family’s Caribbean vacation because he was enthralled with pirates.

From the time we are young girls we are told to accept the bad behavior from boys like my friend Danny as a sign of affection. Except you know what, my mother never said this to me. Listen, I’m writing this on my 54th birthday so I can’t be certain of everything my mother did or did not say to me as a child. But I just can’t picture her answering my complaint about a mean boy with “oh, it just means he likes you.” Yet, I can imagine her saying “that means he’s a little jerk dear.” Y

G E T PSYC H E D

You Can Ring My Bell SPORTS ARE GREAT AND CERTAINLY SOMETHING IN WHICH WE WANT OUR KIDS TO BE INVOLVED. WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG WE TAKE THEM TO THE PARK ON SATURDAY mornings to learn basic skills in soccer, baseball, basketball and football. This helps them develop social skills and understand teamwork. As the years go by, sports become more competitive. The opportunity for tackle football comes up. My son asked me if he could play. Everyone in my house knows my answer, “I am saving your brain.” I know this may be a little dramatic. We know that many of these contact sports have the potential for concussions, especially football. If there’s an injury to be had, my son will have it.

What’s a concussion? A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. It can also be caused by a hit to the body that causes the brain to move rapidly back and forth in the skull, known as a contrecoup injury. This forceful movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells.

Concussions are often described by doctors as “mild” brain injuries because they are not life threatening but the effects can be serious. Although the injured person may feel better in a couple of weeks, some symptoms can last for a month or longer. Symptoms of a concussion can be cognitive, physical or emotional. Cognitive symptoms may be difficulty thinking, feeling slowed down, poor concentration and short-term memory issues. Physical symptoms include headache, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sensitivity to light, balance issues, fatigue and sleep disruption.

Emotional symptoms can include irritability, sadness, and anxiety.

It is important to rest, engage in only light activity initially and gradually increase activity level until back to normal. A physician should always be consulted if there is suspicion of a concussion.

There has been much media attention on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) of late. It has many parents concerned. In the past it was associated primarily with boxers and was called dementia pugilistica. Now the focus has been on football players who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries. This is a progressive degenerative disease that has both physiological and behavioral components. It can persist over years or even decades due to traumatic impact to the cranium. Over time the brain of someone with chronic traumatic encephalopathy begins to deteriorate. It loses mass and some areas of the brain enlarge and others atrophy. CTE results in the accumulation of

tau protein which stabilizes cellular structure in the neurons but can become defective and then disrupts neuronal functioning. Not all people who suffer a concussion or multiple concussions will develop CTE. Education is needed about risks of head injury, how to mitigate risk and how to properly treat and recover from these injuries. The bottom line is to minimize risk, have head injuries treated by a medical professional and follow the instructions to recover.

The CDC recommends when an athlete suffers a head trauma during a game they should come out of the game. “When in doubt sit them out.” Keep a young athlete with a possible concussion out of play the same day of the injury and until cleared by a health care provider. The severity of the injury needs to be determined by a healthcare professional. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself. After you remove a young athlete with a possible concussion from practice or play, the decision about return to practice or play is a medical decision that should be made by a health care provider. As a coach, it is helpful to record the following information to be given to a health care provider to aid in assessing an athlete: • The cause of the injury and estimated force of the hit or blow to the head or body • Any loss of consciousness (passed out/knocked out) and if so, for how long • Any memory loss immediately following the injury • Any seizures right after the injury • Number of previous concussions (if any) Inform the young athlete’s parent(s) about the possibility of a concussion. The CDC has a fact sheet that can help parents watch a young athlete for concussion signs or symptoms that may show up or get worse once the young athlete is at home or returns to school.

TIDBITS AND TRIVIA

The Iguana Chronicles

BY JAMES TERLIZZI IN A PREVIOUS COLUMN I WROTE ABOUT THE IGUANA INFESTATION IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND HOW THEY WERE DESTROYING MY PLANTS AND LEAVING droppings all over my deck. My efforts to deal with the problem are as follows: Since the green lizards are protected under animal cruelty laws, I was forced to abandon my plan to utilize my Winchester 12-gauge.

Plan A—I purchased a garden owl with motion sensor which was advertised as making a “terrifying noise” and having “bright flashing eyes.” The motion sensor only worked if a cape buffalo did back-flips directly in front of it. The terrifying noise was akin to a kitten bringing up a hairball. As for the flashing eyes, they could only be seen while wearing night vision goggles during a total eclipse of the moon. Useless. I sent it back.

Plan B—This time I opted for an owl whose “delicately balanced head swivels in the breeze.” Turns out the bottom of the head rubbed on the chest causing friction.

Its head wouldn’t swivel in a Category 5. That’s when I discovered that iguanas don’t fear fake owls. One of them deposited his excrement directly in front of the bird. I sent it back. (The owl, not the excrement.)

Plan C—Having already tried store-bought iguana repellant without success, I opted to make my own.

The recipe calls for three garlic cloves, four habanero peppers and a cup of lemon juice. Chop in blender until super-fine, then pour into one gallon of warm water, adding one tablespoon of dish liquid soap. This was a big hit — with the iguanas. Apparently they love Tex-Mex. They only ate the plants I sprayed it on. I threw it out.

PlanD—The internet said that ultra- high frequency sound generators can be used to get rid of pests, so I bought one. Turns out, iguanas either can’t hear it

24

or don’t care. However, it did set off car alarms within four square blocks and caused massive dog howling. The howling did disorient the lizards, but I had to turn off the machine when a group of neighbors showed up at my door bearing tar and feathers. Government agents also showed up. They said the sound was sickening our diplomats in Cuba. Would anyone like to buy a high frequency sound generator? Only used once.

Plan E—I bought a can of bear repellant, which is a mild form of pepper spray. The idea is that it is humane, in that it will repel a bear but not incapacitate him so much that he injures himself. The big selling point was its 30-foot range, a necessity since iguanas run off if you get too close. What the ad didn’t say was that it was good for only one five-second burst. At $30 per can this is not cost effective.

By the way, it is humane. When I fired it at a large lizard the wind shifted. I was blinded for only 20 minutes.

Plan F—Time for drastic measures. I am awaiting my order for a ground-penetrating radar machine which I will use to locate the reptiles’ burrows. Then I will use explosives to destroy the burrows. I have to be careful to make sure the iguanas are not home at the time or I will run afoul of the animal cruelty laws. My hope is the prehistoric creatures will get the hint and move back to South America.

I was planning to use dynamite after seeing a great price for it on Amazon, but wound up ordering the much safer C-4 from Explosives ‘R’ Us. I bought more than I need for this job, but it’s always good to have some around.

You never know when beavers might decide to build a dam on your property. Y

URBAN ADVENTURE

To the Island with Ira

BY DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU

PHOTOS BY JOE YERKOVICH

ON A PARTICULARLY CHILLY MORNING IN JANUARY, I MET IRA WECHTERMAN AT SULLIVAN PARK TO BOARD A BOAT TO DEERFIELD ISLAND. IRA IS THE PASSIONATE PRESIDENT OF Friends of Deerfield Island, a non-profit organization of volunteers he founded in 2015 to raise funds for projects on the island and build enthusiasm for the park — a little oasis of South Florida nature. Ira and his fellow Friends have worked diligently to establish the Island as a destination park for locals and visitors.

Every Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 3pm on-the-hour, guests can board a boat to the island, walk the park’s Coquina trail and admire the area’s flora, fauna and wildlife.

The Friends of Deerfield Island welcoming committee greets guests as they arrive and has educational activities for kids to enjoy as they explore the island. On any given day, guests may get lucky and see a gopher tortoise (the island is an official refuge for them), osprey, manatees, lizards, butterflies, spiders and a whole array of plants.

26

Deerfield Beach!

Ira graciously gave me a personal tour of the island, teaching me as we meandered the trail. He showed me the three different types of mangrove on the island — white, red and black. The red mangrove is nicknamed the walking plant, he pointed out, because as it grows, it looks like it’s walking out into the water.

The wandering sailor plant, which looks kind of like purple ivy spreading across the ground, I learned, is also called the wandering Jew because the plant wanders like Moses and the Israelites in the wilderness. Ira also introduced me to my new personal favorite tree on the island — the “sunburned tourist.” Its bark flakes and peels like a tourist without sunscreen.

I learned about the strangler trees, which wrap around a host tree, stealing the host’s nutrients and “strangling” the host as it grows.

And I discovered why Florida raccoons look so entirely different than those I’m used to as a native Coloradan — they don’t need the extra layer of fat and don’t hibernate, so they appear more rat-like and scrawny. I even got to sample some Brazilian pepper plant — >>>

URBAN ADVENTURE

<<< Ira plucked off some of the plants little red bulbs.

When I chewed them, my mouth was flooded with the taste of spicy black pepper.

Ira is a wealth of knowledge. He taught me about the various invasive species on the island and how to tell the difference between a vulture and a hawk — vultures don’t flap their wings, they soar on air currents, while hawks use the power of their wings to fly. He recounted the island’s history — the island was once owned by Al Capone until Florida reposessed the land for Capone’s unpaid taxes. It is rumored that Capone may have stashed hidden cash somewhere on the island.

Ira and I also discovered a strange spider with red spikes on all sides and a white, tough underbelly like a crab. We discovered the spider is called a spiny orb weaver — it creates strange, elaborate webs with tufts which are supposed to protect it from being destroyed by flying birds.

As I soaked up more and more of Ira’s vast nature knowledge, I felt like a kid again, on a school field trip. Even though the boat ride took only about five minutes, I felt much farther away from the civilized world. My journey on the island made me miss camping and the simple things in life. It gave me a new admiration for the genius of Mother Nature. With each new plant, my awe grew at the mysteriousness and magic inherent in nature.

In addition to being inspired by nature, I was also inspired by Ira. While he had been a biology major in college, his life took a

turn and he became a dentist for over 40 years. When he retired, he saw the time as an opportunity to return to his original passion.

Instead of getting relaxed, he got active. He used his retirement to get deeply involved in the community, volunteering and building a legacy.

28

Deerfield Beach!

“I took 40 years off to be a dentist,” Ira jokes. “Now I’m going back to my original love, which is nature… I thought the island has great value and should be cherished.”

Ira’s spirit of service is remarkable. Together with his volunteers and the county, Deerfield Island is beginning to fulfill its potential; It is one of 19 sites in Broward County recognized as an outdoor education facility.

“We’re very proud of that,” Ira said.

The Friends of Deerfield Island and other sponsors have been able to build the trail, add a butterfly garden, put it picnic tables and an outdoor classroom space, and are working on two big projects: putting in an ADA compliant walkway to make the island accessible to all; and convert the island’s caretaker’s cottage into a year-round nature and research facility. The park’s manager, Katherine Hendrickson, is currently seeking out partnerships with universities to help run the facility. Already a class at the University of Florida is being taught part time on the Island. Ira hopes soon the facility will host exhibits, classes and workshops.

The island also offers kayaks and paddleboards for rent so guests can explore the perimeters of the island.

Picnic tables with grills are available — a perfect destination for a family day-cation. Y To visit Deerfield Island Park, board a free shuttle boat on Saturdays or Sundays at Sullivan Park on the hour, every hour, between 10am and 3pm. Picnic spots and grills are available on a first-come-firstserved basis. Kayaks and paddleboards are available on the island through What’s SUP Paddleboarding every weekend from 10am - 4pm. The cost is $25 for a two hour rental. For more information about kayaking and paddleboarding, visit whatssuppaddleboarding.com.

Honoring the Land and its People

BY SALLY J. LING

Deerfield Beach!

Although it is now the Hillsboro Technology Center, many residents remember with great fondness the Deerfield Country Club that formerly occupied that parcel. What most people don’t realize, however, is that long before the property became a private country club it was first a producing orange grove and later a working dairy.

To honor the land and the people who worked it, a series of three articles will trace its fascinating history.

From Pristine Land to Producing Orange Grove It was 1903 when Joel and Ardena Horne stepped off the passenger car at the small wooden train depot on Dixie Highway in Deerfield Beach and took in a deep breath of southern Florida air. They had stopped to visit relatives in the area before heading to Coral Gables where they planned to settle. One night in Deerfield, however, and Joel and Ardena never ventured farther south. Instead, they bought land ripe with promise west of the small emerging town.

Joel was born in Sumter, Georgia, in March of 1858.

In his late thirties, he traveled to Bartow, Florida, where he met Ardena Arnold. Their relationship blossomed.

Unable to obtain marital blessings from Ardena’s parents because of their age difference (he was 41, she 20), the couple eloped in 1899.

Edna Horne Johnson, the couple’s fourth daughter, recalled this story told by her mother regarding their honeymoon night: “We never really dated because of the age difference and never kissed until after we were married. After the ceremony we were to spend the night with a friend and so we got in the horse and buggy. When we got into the country, he [Joel] grabbed me and kissed me like he would never let me go.”

The couple had their first daughter Maude in 1901; Blanche was born in 1903. With these two young children in tow, the couple arrived in Deerfield.

The Hornes settled into a house north of Hillsboro Boulevard and west of Dixie Highway, about where MWI

(Moving Water Industries) is today. At the time, they were one of only five families in the area. Not far from their home was the Hillsboro River. It was there the family watched Seminole Indians wearing colorful tribal garb and heavy beads paddle their canoes to and from the Everglades. Since Joel played the fiddle, he’d sit by the water and invite the Indian children to dance.

During this time, the Horne’s purchased 10 acres west of town and planted orange trees. On 25 acres adjacent to the rental home, he planted pineapples and later tomatoes. The couple added four more children (Susan, Edna, Sally and Joel) to their growing family, and relocated to a larger home off Hillsboro Boulevard just east of the railroad tracks.

Joel and Ardena immersed themselves in the small agrarian community, and every tourist season (November to March) Joel would take the welcomed guests out to his grove. There, he’d pluck an orange from one of the trees and peel if for them.

“As this was the only orange grove around, it was a thrill for the tourists to pick fruit right off the trees,” Edna recalled.

Life was good. Then tragedy struck.

It happened on December 22, 1926. Joel discovered that someone was stealing his citrus. To find the culprit, he entered the grove armed with a revolver; a neighbor, Dee Weatherby, accompanied him. It was there they encountered the two men who were pilfering the

They were part of the railroad crew working to push the Seaboard Air Line Railroad south from Palm Beach to Miami (the Horne’s land was close to the railroad tracks). As the workers didn’t want to lose their jobs, they told Joel that if he took them back to their base camp they would have the foreman give them an advance on their pay so they could reimburse him for the oranges.

As the men walked along the tracks, the railroad workers overpowered Joel and Dee and grabbed the gun.

Dee was shot once, Joel twice. Dee survived; Joel wasn’t so fortunate.

“My uncle Willie was deputized and traced the men to Chicago. He brought them back to stand trial where they were convicted and sent to prison,” said Betty Lou Archer

Ardena retained the grove until her money ran low, then she sold it to Jim Girtman of Coral Gables. In the late 1940s, the land was sold to dairy farmer Bert Williamson. Ardena who remained part of the Deerfield Beach community until her death in 1976. Y

Papa’s Raw Bar. SUSHI • SEAFOOD Situated next door to their parent restaurant Seafood World, Papa’s indeed seems like the hip child of an established restaurant. While the fresh food is the real star, the Keys-inspired décor certainly accounts for part of their charm. The menu goes way beyond typical raw bar offerings with inventive tacos and sliders. Papa’s also offers a wide array of sushi and sashimi. Start off with one of the towers of Van Buskirk (you’ll find a few menu items named after locals.) The bare naked lady version is a combination of spicy wahoo and tuna with tobiko and masago topped with spicy mayo and served with taro chips. And to wash it all down, they have about a zillion craft beer options and a good wine list too. 4610 N. Federal Highway, 754-307-5034 $$ Seafood World Market & Restaurant. SEAFOOD They offer

Calypso Restaurant and Raw Bar. CARIBBEAN Since they opened their doors in 1990, Calypso has been a local favorite. This gem of a restaurant is known for their fresh, wild caught fish, Bahamian conch dishes, Jamaican jerk and American favorites too all served with an island flair. On any given day, look around and you’ll see fellow diners devouring their house special cutter (sandwich)—sautéed shrimp with garlic butter, mushrooms and cheddar all stuffed into a hollowed out kaiser roll. Check out the special board for a variety of locally caught fish with everything from grouper to snapper to wahoo among others. Plenty of land lubber options are also available including filet mignon. For island comfort food, don’t miss one of their curries or rotis. Fresh oysters and clams are also available. Wash it all down with a draft beer, a glass of wine or choose from over 40 different bottled beers. So if you are in search of high-quality ingredients, inventive cooking and a very welcoming staff, head over to Calypso. 460 S. Cypress Road, 954-942-1633 $$ Carrabba’s Italian Grill.

Checkers Old Munchen. GERMAN Sprechen sie Deutsch? You don’t find many German restaurants around town. So when you’re looking for a change in your restaurant rotation, take a trip back to the old country at Checkers Old Munchen. The restaurant’s exposed wood framing is reminiscent of the German half-timbered architectural style and the walls are lined with classic German beer steins. For a traditional German meal, try the wienerschnitzel — it’s divine a lightly breaded veal cutlet sautéed in lemon butter and topped with homemade brown gravy. The spaetzle (German noodles) are a real homemade treat and not to be missed — throw a little of that brown gravy on them and they could be a meal unto themselves. The red cabbage is both classically sweet and sour and there are other side options too including potato dumplings, potato salad and even hot potato salad. As you look around, you can’t help but get the feeling that most of the patrons are returning customers. And the next time we get a hankering for some schnitzel, we know where to go. Imbibe to your hearts content with their wide assortment of German beers.

We can do better for the children of our country

BY RICHARD ROSSER

Wednesday, February 14, 2018 — 11 hours before press deadline.

SHORTLY AFTER THE NEWS BROKE TODAY ABOUT THE SHOOTING AT MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL, FOX NEWS ANCHOR SHEPARD SMITH took several minutes out of his live coverage to list every fatal school shooting that has occurred in the 19 years since the one at Columbine High School.

“Since Columbine in 1999, there have been 25 fatal, active school shootings at elementary and high schools in America,” a clearly emotional Smith told his audience.

At the time, he did not know that 17 had died in Parkland today. That news would stun all of us a short time later.

After a previous mass shooting, Smith said “These sorts of mass shootings with the regularity where they occur in the United States, you don’t find that in other

our children? To state otherwise is to ignore the “true thing,” — our excruciatingly long list of senseless deaths, which now incudes 17 new names from nearby Parkland.

I treat the pages of our magazines with absolute respect. I last wrote something of this severity after a fraternity hazing death at a state university. I got a little push-back, but it was mild. I am completely aware of what this magazine is, who reads it and the polarizing issues of our day. Yet, I was encouraged twice within a matter of minutes to address this tragedy on this page but with our press deadline tomorrow, I risk alienating readers with differing views.

My wife Susie is now watching the live news while crying over the deaths of innocent children she does not

“These sorts of mass shootings with the regularity where they occur in the United States, you don’t find that in other countries. That’s not to say anything except that fact. You can extrapolate from that whatever you want. But that part right there, that this happens more in the United States than anywhere else on Earth is just a true thing. That’s all there is.”

countries. That’s not to say anything except that fact.

You can extrapolate from that whatever you want. But that part right there, that this happens more in the United States than anywhere else on Earth is just a true thing. That’s all there is.”

If something is true ... and takes the lives of our innocent children with regularity, how many must die before changes are made?

Conventional wisdom dictates insanity is to do something repeatedly but expect a different result. For almost 20 years, nothing seems to have changed. So, are we, collectively insane? Or, do we not care about the lives of

know. The national media is reporting another mass shooting, but this time, we all know the street names and it’s our sheriff. The world is looking at our back yard and grieving for us, not random other people.

This shooting and recent ones in Orlando and Las Vegas should force everyone to take a hard look at the liberties we enjoy compared to the cost of that freedom in human lives.

Safety and liberty are conflicting ideals and clearly, we are not keeping our children safe enough. I’m for change.

Not one more child has to die for me to accept some limitations. How many must die before you agree? Y
