*A Vertical Rewards Plus Checking Account (the “Account”) is a variable interest rate account. During the first 3 statement cycles following account opening (the “Introductory Period”), the annual percentage yield (”APY”) for daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, may be a maximum of 1.50% APY, provided that a direct deposit via ACH has posted to the Account each statement cycle. If a direct deposit does not post to the Account during a statement cycle during the Introductory Period, all daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, will earn the base interest rate of .05% APY (“Base Interest Rate”) for that statement cycle, and the Account will still be eligible to earn rewards during the next cycle. Thereafter, the APY on daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, in the Account may range from .05% APY to 1.50% APY depending upon (i) a direct deposit via ACH posting to the Account and (ii) the number of qualifying banking services performed each statement cycle. If the direct deposit and/or the minimum number of banking services qualification are not met during a statement cycle, all daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, will earn the Base Interest Rate for that statement cycle. APYs stated herein are accurate as of 3/12/2018. APYs stated herein are established by BankUnited, N.A. (“BankUnited”) in its sole discretion and may change at any time. Balances greater than $250,000 are not eligible to, and will not, earn interest. Minimum opening deposit is $5,000. Transactions must post and settle to the Account during the applicable statement cycle. Banking services transactions may take one or more business days from the transaction date to post to the Account. Account must be opened with new money not currently on deposit with BankUnited. A $20 monthly maintenance fee will be assessed if the daily balance in the Account falls below $5,000 during a statement cycle. A $15 early closeout fee will be assessed if the Account is closed within 6 months of the account opening date. Fees may reduce earnings. Additional fees, terms and conditions apply. Please refer to our applicable product disclosures, Depositor’s Agreement and Schedule of Fees for additional information. BankUnited reserves the right to cancel or modify this offer at any time without notice. Offer is for consumer accounts only. Please contact a BankUnited representative for additional details.

CREATIVELY SPEAKING

BY SUSAN ROSSER

Walk the Talk

WHEN HE WAS A BABY, MY SON WOULD OFTEN DRINK HIS FIRST BOTTLE OF THE DAY SNUGGLED IN BED BETWEEN ME AND MY HUSBAND RICHARD. We would practically sleep walk to his crib, grab a bottle from the fridge, shuffle back to bed and place him right in the middle. This way we could snag just a few more minutes in bed before our busy days began. Seventeen years later, I would give anything to hop in a time machine to grab back even just five minutes

of that precious cuddle time. He was delicious. Once when he was a toddler, he stood smack in the middle of the kitchen as I was cooking dinner and declared “Mommy, I love love.” And when he was about 3, he told me how much he loved his baby sister. Man, he was the sweetest of sweetie-pies. I suppose most mothers think their sons are absolutely adorable and lovable and smart and sincere and kind. And I have to admit, I probably live

in somewhat of a “bubble” in that all the mothers of sons I know, do feel that way. Nonetheless, even though I could never imagine my own son acting disrespectful toward a woman, I have talked to him about the touchy topics of campus rape, workplace harassment, and generally just how he should behave toward women for his whole, entire adult life yet to come. Yes, this was uncomfortable for both of us. I chose to have the “talk” while we were alone in the car so he would be unable to retreat to his room (brilliant on my part, if I do say so myself). Naturally, he assured me he already knew everything I was saying. And if I have done my job well, he should indeed already know everything I spoke of that day. But let’s face it, all those young men abusing young women on college campuses have parents. And I’m sure many of those parents, like me, could never imagine their own sons treating young women like prizes or objects to be conquered. But some of them are. So, I had the talk. Just recently, as I was driving down Federal Highway, I noticed a billboard just south of Sample Road. It is emblazoned with “Dad, teach your son to be a respectful boyfriend.” I’m thankful that collectively, as a community, we are addressing this issue. My own son will leave for college this summer. I know he’ll be smart and sincere and kind and good. I’m just hoping he changes his sheets.

Outré Theater Company presents “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”

Outré completes its sixth season with the Tony Award-winning play “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” The play (based on the book by John Cameron Mitchell) is a rock musical about a fictional rock and roll band fronted by a transgender East German singer, Hedwig Robinsona. The play is a celebration of the gender-queer and outsider. “In Hedwig, John Cameron Mitchell has crafted a beautifully flawed character,” explains Skye Whitcomb, Outré’s Artistic Director and the director of the production. “She’s funny and foulmouthed, tragic and touching, and wonderfully, wonderfully human. Mitchell himself said that she wasn’t a woman or a man, but a ‘gender of one,’ which I think is an incredibly necessary, complex way that we need to look at gender, especially in today’s society.” Styled in a cabaret/rock show format, the musical allows Hedwig to tell the story of his bandmates — from their lonely childhoods in East Berlin, to a botched gender reassignment surgery and their search for love and completion. Outré is proud to partner with SunServe on this production. SunServe is the first LGBTQ social service agency in South Florida. SunServe’s mission is to provide critical life assistance and professional mental health services to the LGBTQ community, including the economically disadvantaged, marginalized youth and senior adults in the greater South Florida metropolitan area. WHEN & WHERE: March 22 - April 8, 2018; Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm. A reception will follow the show on March 24 with food and bar by donation.

Planning Ahead THE LIGHTHOUSE POINT YACHT CLUB LOOKS TO THE FUTURE

After years of research, ten different proposed plans and many meetings with club members, local residents and city officials, the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club has finalized their plans for the new gated yacht club and townhouse development, which owner Terence Paterson will soon present to the city. Paterson said the club’s goal is to build a new state of the art facility that can compete with the best yacht clubs on the east coast. The proposed plan includes a new 35,000 square foot clubhouse, two spas, a 2,400 square foot tennis center with a bistro, 2,500 square foot kids center, three lane mini Olympic swimming pool, a resort pool, kids pool, 10,800 square foot gym, five har-tru tennis courts with lights for night play, a 280 person banquet hall on the second floor, a large outdoor events area, an indoor fine dining restaurant with a piano lounge, an outdoor tapas bar, card and billiards room, large conference room and a bridal suite. “We intend to be a one-stop-shop for all you family’s ABOVE a rendering of the the new entrance RIGHT 3-d rendering of the site plan including the townhomes, clubhouse and tennis center

needs, from babies to retirees and everything in between,” said Paterson. The estimated expense for the new club and land is roughly $32 million, which far exceeds club dues. To subsidize the cost, Paterson plans to build 37 luxury townhomes on the property. Lighthouse Point Yacht Club was originally built in 1961 to be the jewel of Lighthouse Point. Paterson said he wants to bring it “back up to being this jewel.” >>>

“This is not possible by just shinnying up what we have,” he said. “It is necessary to build a new one. A club that can catapult Lighthouse Point realestate to finally compete with areas like Las Olas, Rio Vista and Royal Palm.” Paterson said he hopes to start building the new club by mid 2019. While under construction the club will maintain its existing gym, pool, a minimum of five tennis courts and marina. In addition, members will get to use the Fort Lauderdale Country Club as part of the club’s new reciprocity deal. Existing membership will be grandfathered in to the new club with no additional initiation fees or assessments. New membership initiation fees will rise after the club’s permits have been issued or when the club reaches its 500 flagship memberships, whichever comes first. “We expect this non-refundable initiation fee to be between $18,000 to $22,000,” Paterson said. “This initiation fee will remain at the current rate of $7,500 until that time.”

While under construction, existing members will be expected to continue paying the current $334 per month dues and all membership rules and regulations will apply. However, the $2,200 annual food and beverage minimum will be lifted for the year as the main clubhouse is built.

Rescue at Sea Shortly before 4pm on Feb. 26, Sergeant Chris Oh of the Lighthouse Point Police Department had just completed some maintenance on the city’s police boat, which was docked near Fletcher Park, when a call came over the police radio requesting a marine unit for two scuba divers in distress off Hillsboro Inlet. The seas were rough and the current was strong. “There didn’t appear to be any other boats available, so I came up on the radio and told them I could respond, and then started heading out that way,” said Oh. The only location given was that the divers were about one mile south of the inlet and one mile offshore. Oh began his search in the 28-foot Intrepid police boat, but to compound the issue, there was a simultaneous call that was received by the county dispatch about two parasailers who were in distress off the Commercial Boulevard Pier. “It wasn’t real clear at the beginning that there were two separate incidents at the exact same time, involving two different parties at two different locations, both in the ocean,” said Oh. “Ultimately, I kept looking for these two divers.” He started out in more shallow water, about a halfmile offshore, then started making his way east, until he came across an anchored boat with a dive flag up. But there was nobody on board. He started to search further to the south and to the east, until off in the distance he saw a small boat with two fishermen in it. The men, both in their 60s or 70s, had heard the divers calling for help, and were able to locate them, but couldn’t get them out of the water and into their boat. Their boat was smaller than the police boat, and to the best of Oh’s recollection, did not have a dive door, so it would have been difficult for them to try to pull the divers into it with all their scuba gear. The two men had called 911, and stayed next to the divers. The divers were “very lucky” that the two men heard them, said Oh, because it was particularly rough that day, with seas running 5-7 feet, and there

was a strong current, so there were very few boats on the water. Oh said he only saw about three or four other boats offshore, south of the inlet, and “if one of the boats hadn’t spotted the divers, the current would have pulled them further south, and who knows if somebody else would have heard them or not.” One of the divers was a Pompano Beach resident in his late 40s, and the other was a woman in her early 50s who was vacationing from Pennsylvania. Once Oh saw the divers, he opened the dive door of the boat, pulled alongside them and threw them a rope. They pulled themselves over to the boat and, one at a time, Oh dragged them out of the water. “They were exhausted,” said Oh. “They probably just laid in the bottom of my boat for about 10 minutes.” >>>

The two scuba divers had dived down to see a shipwreck, and when they surfaced, they weren’t able to get back to their boat because a strong southerly current had pulled them about a half-mile south of it. When Oh found the divers – after searching for about 40 minutes – they were about two miles south of the inlet and about 1.5 miles offshore. They had inflated their diving vests, and were floating in the water, but had expended a lot of energy trying to get back to the boat, fighting against the current and some good-sized swells, which was a “losing battle” said Oh. They had been treading water for almost two hours. The woman was having a particularly hard time. When Oh got her on the boat, she was shivering, even though she was wearing a wetsuit. Her temperature had dropped, and she was hypothermic. Oh took the divers back to their boat. It was the empty boat with the dive flag up that he had come across earlier, and it belonged to the male diver. The man got in his boat and followed Oh and the woman

to the inlet. They docked at the Hillsboro Club, and Oh helped them transfer their gear back onto their boat, which they couldn’t do on the ocean, because it was too rough. Oh offered to call the paramedics for the woman’s hypothermia, but she was able to warm up. After thanking Oh for rescuing them, the divers headed off in their boat. “They were very appreciative.” said Oh. For Oh, it was his second water rescue that day. Just a few hours earlier, he had assisted in getting a young male out of the Intracoastal, across from DeGroff Park. “It was kind of a unique thing to have both of those in the same day,” said Oh.

Lighthouse Point Voters Will Get to Decide on Term Limits for City Officials Last month, the City Commission approved an ordinance that will place a referendum on the Nov. 6, 2018 statewide general election ballot so Lighthouse Point voters can decide if they want to extend the length of terms served by the city’s elected officials, as well as impose term limits. If the referendum passes, terms of office for anyone elected to serve as mayor or commissioner would be extended from three years to four years starting with the 2020 municipal election, and anyone elected to serve as mayor or commissioner would be 44

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

limited to 12 consecutive years in that office. The terms of commissioners elected in 2018 (seats 1, 2 and 3) would be extended until 2022 in order to provide for the transition to four-year terms and for elections to be conducted in even numbered years. The proposed amendments to the city’s charter would also provide that current terms, as well as partial terms served as a result of a vacancy in office, would not count towards the 12-year term limit. It would require a two-year waiting period before a

term-limited commissioner could run again for a commission seat, or for a term-limited mayor to run again as mayor. If someone is elected after the two-year hiatus, the term limit of 12 consecutive years would begin to be calculated again. There would be no waiting period for anyone term-limited as a commissioner to run for mayor, and vice versa. The Commission’s decision to place the referendum on the ballot is the result of much consideration and lengthy discussions, which began last year.

Paraprosdokians A CURIOS FIGURE OF SPEECH BY JAMES TERLIZZI

WINSTON CHURCHILL LOVED THEM. I LOVE THEM. YOU PROBABLY LOVE THEM, ALTHOUGH, LIKE ME, YOU MAY NOT have known what they were called. Wikipedia defines it as a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence, phrase, etc., is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. One of the more famous paraprosdokians was uttered by Yogi Berra: “Nobody goes there any more, it’s too crowded”. (I can see the light bulb turning on in your head.) A friend asked me how I liked a restaurant I recently visited, to which I replied: “The service was slow but the food sucked”. Although I cannot provide attribution for most of them, here are some of my favorites: • “I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not sure.” • “You don’t need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.” • “Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.” • “I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn’t it.”— Hugh Herbert • “I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.” • “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.” • “The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on the list.” • “A clear conscience usually is the sign of a bad memory.” • “The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas.” • “Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.”

What motivates us? A DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT MOTIVATION.

BY CRAIG HALEY

THE 2018 WINTER OLYMPICS ARE OVER, AND ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE ALL AMAZED BY THE ATHLETICISM, POISE AND CONCENTRATION OF THESE INCREDIBLE ATHLETES. When you stop to think about the amount of pressure these athletes are dealing with…it’s staggering. What motivates these athletes to get to that level? The sheer amount of sacrifice it takes to become an Olympic athlete is incredible. Think about the amount of family time they had to give up, vacations not taken, and how disciplined their nutrition/rest habits had to be. Needless to say, just getting to the Olympics is a huge feat, not to mention if you make it to the podium to receive a medal. When you do a Google search on motivation, it says, “the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.” What are the causes for someone to act a certain way? To get there, you have to understand the three different kinds of motivation.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

| lhpmag.com

Motivation #1 – The Carrot

This is a powerful form of motivation. We are all motivated to go after a goal. In the martial arts, it could be the goal of becoming a Black Belt. I am currently a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I am highly motivated to earn my Black Belt in the next few years. We just held a fitness challenge at our school, and we saw many people motivated to lose weight, lose body fat, and increase their energy…and they did just that! Perhaps the motivation there was the recognition that their clothes fit better, their bodies got leaner, and their families and friends all noticed. Motivation could be a new job, a raise, straight A’s on your child’s report card, or the reward that comes with straight A’s. How do you quickly train a puppy to go to the bathroom outside? By yelling at them when they have an accident? No way! By rewarding them with treats and love when they do go to the bathroom outside. Over time, that puppy connects the dots. >>>

Motivation #2 – The Stick

This is the least effective form of motivation for longterm success. The “do it or else” mindset may work in the short-term, but not in the long-term. When does this work? Perhaps in the shortterm with a misbehaving child in a public place, and you have to tell them they will have to leave if their behavior doesn’t improve. Most parents have been there before, and in many cases, it works in the moment. Will it work for long-term behavioral improvements in your child? Probably not. Would you be motivated by your boss day-in and day-out if they said to you every morning, “Remember, if you don’t get great results today, you are fired.”? More than likely, you would tell your boss where to go!

Motivation #3 – Internal

This is the most powerful form of motivation, and the one that sparks most high achievers, such as Olympic athletes, professional athletes, high level business CEO’s, entrepreneurs and “A” list actors and actresses. They simply see achievement as a part of who they are. They are clear about their goals, are inspired to work hard every day to move closer to their goals and know exactly why they are doing what they are doing. To them, they have this internal necessity to achieve at the highest level. It’s part of their personality. It’s part of their core being. Are some born with this? Yes, for sure. And yet, some develop it over time. They start out being motivated by the carrot, and over time they become hooked on the goal-achievement drug, which inspires them to grow and grow. When your motivation is internal, you love the process of achievement as much, or more, than the actual goal achievement itself. You are inspired and thoroughly enjoy the work, the workout, the grind, the daily routine that makes someone a super achiever. Now that you understand a bit more about how motivation works and what moves us into action, think about what strategy you will use to motivate your child, spouse and/or employees. Think in advance and you will see great results out of them…and you! Y Master Shihan Craig Haley is the Seventh Degree Black Belt instructor at Elite Force Martial Arts, eliteforcemartialarts.com.

Don’t Forget Your Pet in Your Will or Trust BY MARTIN ZEVIN, ATTORNEY

PETS ARE PART OF YOUR FAMILY. WHETHER YOU HAVE A DOG, CAT, BIRD OR ANY OTHER COMBINATION OF ANIMALS LIVING WITH YOU, IT IS IMPORTANT TO consider the legal issue of providing for your pet when you pass away. I recommend that you make specific provisions for your pet in your last will and testament and/or your revocable living trust.

trust, you can name an organization or specific facility that specializes in caring for pets after their owners die. You can ask your veterinarian for recommendations. The next consideration is how much money you will be designating to take care of your pet’s needs for the rest of your pet’s life. If you are naming an individual, the amount of money will be up to you, based on your own assets and your pet’s life expectancy and special needs. You can leave the full amount to the individual as a specific bequest. The individual will pay for the pet’s needs from those funds and have use of the full bequest without restrictions. You can also set up a trust naming a different person as trustee of the funds with discretion to give the pet caregiver funds as needed and with a provision as to who will inherit any remaining money after your pet passes away. In the case of an institution or facility as the caregiver, you will need to determine the fees for that facility so you can provide sufficient funds during your pet’s lifetime. You should specifically name any current pets in your will or trust and also designate any future pets to be covered under this estate plan. This article covers some general issues regarding providing for your pet in estate planning. Each case is unique and the details should be discussed in a consultation with your attorney. Y

How One Volunteer Made Such a Big Difference… BY JULIE RADLAUER-DOERFLER DID YOU KNOW THAT A VERY SPECIAL FACILITY WHICH CARES FOR SOME OF THE “MOST MEDICALLY FRAGILE AND TECHNOLOGICALLY DEPENDENT INFANTS, CHILDREN AND young adults in the nation” is right here in our backyard? The mission at Broward Children’s Center (BCC) is to respond to the unique needs of every child through programs that promote privacy, respect, independence, dignity and engagement. BCC was established in 1971 by the current CEO, Marjorie Evans. She started as a volunteer and grew BCC from a one room facility

in to one of the three group homes designed for people 21 and up. Additional programs available at BCC include: • 2 preschools • BCC Academy (private school for children with special needs) • in/out-of-home respite care • social services (family strengthening, advocacy, nutrition education) • medical transportation • speech/language, physical and occupational therapies • home health care • prescribed pediatric extended care • adult day programming • before/after school care • summer programs • counseling • applied behavior analysis

Volunteer Opportunities…

in Fort Lauderdale to multiple locations and campuses. Today, BCC has over 16 different programs serving 1,200 children and their families annually. The main center, called the Children’s Comprehensive Care Center, is a residential facility that houses 36 of the most medically fragile and technologically dependent infants, children and young adults in the nation. BCC offers medical, educational, therapeutic and recreational programs to habilitate, and rehabilitate their residents. It is a long-term, sub-acute, skilled nursing facility, meaning it is not affiliated or attached to a hospital. The focus is to reintegrate clients back into their communities by rehabilitating them to ultimately go home if and when they are well enough. The main center serves children and young adults under 21. When a child turns 21 they lose a large majority of their funding if and when their IQ is above 70. They then have the opportunity to move

There are a lot of volunteer opportunities at BCC including reading to children, helping therapists engage the children, providing help on the wheelchair accessible playground, volunteering at one of the annual events, including the Miles for Smiles annual walk. If you visit the BCC website, bcckids.org, you will see they are looking for donations that can be used for day-to-day operations and programs. You can become a GEM (Giving Every Month) member, participate in corporate giving or donate toward a scholarship, facility maintenance, planned giving opportunity, emergency relief needs or an extensive wish list for each of the BCC programs.

Special Teen Volunteer Opportunity…

When approached about teen volunteer opportunities BCC expressed a need for mentoring and recreational activities. BCC strives to give their residents every opportunity typical children have, but sometimes need extra hands. Y Since most teens need community service hours, a volunteer teen group is being put together. If you (or your child) is interested in volunteering on a monthly basis please contact jradlauer@ comcast.net and learn more about how to help some very special children.

TO THE POINT GET PSYCHED

Violence and Attachment BY DR. JILL SELBACH

THE EVENTS OF FEB. 14 2018, IN OUR OWN BACK YARD, WERE HORRIFIC. KNOWING PEOPLE WHO ARE TEACHERS AT MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH School, people with children there, having children myself and a husband who is a Broward County High School teacher, it really hit home. As a psychologist, I have worked with runaways, kids involved in the Juvenile Justice system, gang members and as they say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;throw awayâ&#x20AC;? youth. These are kids whose parents have pushed them out and refuse to have involvement with them. Early in my career I became interested in Attachment Theory. According to Bowlby, attachment is a life span concept pertaining to the infant forming a prototypical model with the caregiver. This attachment construct is considered an organized system of behavior that is an essential part of human development. It is described in terms of stable behavioral patterns which indicate the quality of the bond within a relationship. Attachment provides security and comfort but it also allows for the freedom of an individual to move away from the security with confidence. So, rather than get all theoretical, if we focus on building better attachment from infancy and throughout childhood and adolescence we have productive, caring members of a community who work together and who provide support and comfort to one another. The kids with whom I was working were lacking these bonds to a caregiver. It was very difficult to build rapport or trust. Individuals who have secure attachment fare better in all aspects of life. Later in life, securely attached infants and toddlers have better self-esteem, more independence, better relationships with parents, authority figures and friends. They tend to have better impulse control, empathy and

compassion. Securely attached kids bounce back better when faced with adversity. They perform better in school and they have better marital and family relationships (Main et al. 1985; Waters et al 1979; Troy and Sroufe 1987; Jacobson and Wille 1986; Sroufe et al. 1993). Children with attachment disorders tend to be concerned with self-gratification, display a lack of responsibility, are dishonest and have a disregard for rules within the family and society. These children can be aggressive, controlling and exhibit conduct disordered behavior as well as a lack of empathy. They have difficulty giving and receiving love and affection.

According to Raine in 1993, teenage boys who had early attachment difficulties were three times more likely to commit violent crimes. Eighty percent of children coming from high-risk families have been found to have attachment disorders. High-risk families are characterized by abuse, neglect, domestic violence, poverty, substance abuse, history of maltreatment >>>

TO THE POINT GET PSYCHED <<< in parents’ childhoods, depression and other serious psychological disorders of parents. When a child has secure attachment relationships he/ she find safety and protection in those relationships with a constant caregiver. These relationships aid in building trust and reciprocity as well as healthy social and cognitive development through confident exploration of surroundings. Self-control, impulse and emotional management are also developed through these secure relationships. A child develops their self-worth, identity and independence through relationships with caregivers. This is disrupted when a child does not have a secure attachment with his or her caregiver. Perhaps the most important qualities that develop are the ones that inhibit the desire to harm others: conscience, empathy and compassion. Human beings need connection to others. When a person does not feel connected to significant people in his or her life, or to a community, it is hard to feel a sense of self-worth, or have empathy and compassion for others.

Children with attachment disorders tend to be concerned with self-gratification, display a lack of responsibility, are dishonest and have a disregard for rules within the family and society. These children can be aggressive, controlling and exhibit conduct disordered behavior as well as a lack of empathy. As parents of children without attachment issues providing good supervision, getting kids involved with community events, sports, other adults and children is important. These connections help children continue to feel they matter, have worth and can accomplish good things. Early intervention is important with children in whom we see attachment issues. Setting routines and consistent boundaries are important. Know that the child will try to control the situation with acting out behavior like aggression or an excessive need for attention. Have constructive ways to cope with these behaviors. Set clear expectations for the day and specific situations. Use empathy when imposing a consequence for behavior. Stay away from punitive language or punishments, and focus on what “to do,” not what not to do. Stay calm and avoid separation from you as a punishment (i.e., time out). Model appropriate behavior and emotions. Tell the child they are wanted, loved and safe. Y Dr. Jill Selbach is a licensed clinical psychologist.

Paddle Out HONORS VICTIMS & CELEBRATES COMMUNITY UNITY By Danielle Charbonneau | Photos by Robby Illanes and Joe Yerkovich

n Sunday Feb. 25 Deerfield Beach’s Island Water Sports (IWS) hosted a memorial paddle out to honor the 17 victims of the Feb. 14 Stoneman Douglas shooting. IWS co-owner and youth mentor Linsey Cottrell estimated that approximately 500 to 600 people attended the memorial, while about 300 of those participated in the water on surfboards, paddleboards and in kayaks. Participants adorned their boards with flowers and candles, circling just north of the Deerfield Beach Pier. Cottrell said the paddle out was not only a symbolic gesture to support the victims and their families, it was also an opportunity for the local community to come together in solidarity and unity. “We were blown away by the response,” she said. “Today was about just being a community. Being there for those kids who probably feel really alone right now, no matter how much is being poured out

onto them…Letting them know that there are strangers who are thinking about them.” Cottrell and her family had the idea for the paddle out the Sunday after the shooting. They had attended an “overwhelmingly sad” memorial service at which people were inconsolable. “It just hit so tragically. And we were like, ‘Man, what can we do to

For many people in Europe — and I guess in the U.S. — it’s a story of a bunch of kids speaking up to a very powerful lobby, the gun lobby. They are seen, at least in Europe and, I guess, in the U.S. as well, as some sort of heroes that the country has desperately been waiting for…They embody so many American values that seem to have been lost in the last one or two years since the election…these kids are so brave and impressive, what they do. And they are taking on these powerful institutions… They’re just 16, 17, 18 years old. And that’s really impressive. “That’s why I am here…I think it’s a very important point in history, absolutely. And many people in Europe and the U.S. hope that these kids are about to bring change, which is a big burden on these kids. They’re not even out of school and they have to change this country. Even adults are saying you have to do this now. It’s a big moment in time.”

All my friends and I, we’re just so shocked and devastated. This thing that happened is so insane. It could happen to us. It could happen to any high school around us. It’s just insane. It happened to people we know. When I heard about the paddle out I said I have to go. I want to see this. The community was coming together. I’ve grown up on this beach. I wanted to come here and participate. I surf and paddleboard and I wanted to see everyone together and pay my respects in a traditional way. I think it shows that the whole community is here and that all those victims and families aren’t alone. We’re all in this together. And we’re all here for each other.

The paddle out was a no-brainer. “If you’ve ever met surfers, they’re kind of an awkward breed. We really like being outside, but a lot of us are very to ourselves,” she said. “So paddle outs have become a surfer’s tradition. We thought, what a better way for our community — a surfing community, a beach community — to pay tribute to so many, and allow so many people to be a part of it.” For Cottrell, the water is also symbolic. “That healing water — letting it wash over you,” she said. “It’s all very symbolized in the tradition of a paddle out.” The night before the paddle out, Cottrell was worried. The winds had been pumping all week and there had been waves. Linsey went to the beach that night and prayed a prayer she never says: “Please, let the wind go.” “I never say that,” she said. “We always want surf. And when we have wind we’re really thankful.” On the day of the paddle out, Cottrell walked to the beach an hour before the start time. The surf was still strong. “There was a chest high set of waves that rolled in. We were like, ‘Crap. What are we going to do? There’s so many people out here that don’t know how to surf, they’re going to | lhpmag.com

get wrecked.’…And then, it suddenly just went flat. The ocean went flat and the wind turned off. There was just a peace brought along by everybody and the ocean — it was pretty overwhelming.” The paddle out far exceeded Cottrell’s expectations. The event had over 5,000 views on Facebook and 500 shares. She had expected only 100 to show up; instead over 500. Even international media attended. Cottrell said, in spite of the horror of the tragedy, she’s been inspired by the youth response. As an IWS coach who has been ingrained in the youth community, Cottrell said she’s seen kids change in the last decade, growing more addicted to their cell phones and more isolated from one another. “But in the last week,” she said. “I’ve seen more people talking to each other — putting their phones in their pockets and having conversations. They are really being there for one another — hugging each other and crying with one another. I really think these kids, through this experience, will inspire so many people around them, not only to be aware of their surroundings, but to just look up from their phones.” Christoph Scheuermann, a German journalist for Der Spiegel (The German News Magazine) who was in attendance at the paddle out to cover the aftermath of the shooting, agreed calling the surge of >>>

It seemed like everyone was having a good time even though it was a bad thing…I think it’s [the paddle out] is trying to send a message that we can — if bad things happen and we fall down — we can come right back up after it. Everyone in the whole community, not just Parkland, has been affected. We’ve been helping make posters for the students and we’re going to hang them in the hallways so when the students go back to school they get their cheers up and don’t have to think of all the bad things that happened around them. Everyone is thinking about them and praying for them.

if they were doing OK,” she said. “A lot of these things are really preventable from a mental health standpoint, but also from support systems within schools and the community.” Cottrell warned of the long road ahead. “These kids need love and support and community around them now more than ever,” she said. “I think people in our community have to realize that this is not over now.

I’ve been coming here [to IWS] since I was real small. It’s a great environment they create down here. Paddle outs are such a beautiful event — you can feel the atmosphere, the vibe out there. It’s such a healing vibe. It’s just such a shame that such a beautiful thing goes to such a horrifying event… there’s just no words to explain it. You just don’t know how to feel. It keeps happening and happening and there’s just no words. But it helps to have everyone out there [on the ocean]. It creates this whole spiritual feeling of oneness. You feel a lot better after going out there… I think IWS does a great job creating a family environment. I’m inspired by these kids — I mean the way that they’ve come out and done everything, protested, and some have gone up to D.C. It’s been amazing — the way that they’ve really showed how mature they can be. They could have sat back and been real upset about it, but no. They’re trying to push forward and really make changes. That’s amazing. It’s unbelievable.

Just over three weeks following the Feb. 14 shooting tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, in which a 19-year-old gunman killed 17 people, mostly teenagers, and wounded 17 others, Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed into law a bill that includes the first significant gun restrictions in “It’s an example Florida in decades. to the entire country that government can, and has, moved fast,” said Scott.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT REACTS TO NEW GUN LAWS On March 13 the City of Lighthouse Point issued a formal resolution in support of the state’s new gun laws under the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. On March 14, Lighthouse Point became the first city in Florida to utilize the new laws to temporarily seize firearms and ammunition from a disturbed Lighthouse Point resident who was deemed a danger to himself and others. The City of Lighthouse Point, however, has not fallen in line with other cities who have joined a lawsuit to challenge a statute that allows the state to punish local government leaders for enacting local gun policies. THE RESOLUTION

At its meeting on March 13, the Lighthouse Point City Commission passed a resolution, like many other cities in Florida, supporting gun law reforms in the wake of the mass shooting in Parkland. The resolution acknowledged the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act that was signed into law by Florida Gov. Rick Scott on March 9, but urged state and federal leaders to continue their push to reform gun laws. The resolution stated that “national and state leaders need to continue to act to implement sensible gun law reforms that are supported by a majority of the nation.”

of Weston to challenge a Florida statute that prohibits local governments from passing any rules that regulate firearms or ammunition.. Under that statute, any public official who attempts to enact local gun regulations can be removed from office by the governor without due process of law, fined up to $5,000 and face a possible lawsuit. Any local law regulating firearms or ammunition would be declared null and void. “This statute, and others similar to it, prevents local governments from enacting laws for the benefit of their communities,” said Lighthouse Point Mayor Glenn Troast.

Do I agree with everything that is in that state law? No. But I’m not going to get into parsing it, because I think it’s a good starting point, and we need to start somewhere. I’m very pleased with what the state has done and with what the governor signed, and I believe the cities will find it very useful.” LIGHTHOUSE POINT MAYOR GLENN TROAST

The three-page resolution was sent by the Lighthouse Point city clerk to President Donald Trump, Gov. Rick Scott, the President of the Florida Senate, the Speaker of the Florida House, the United States Congressional Delegations from Florida, the Broward County Legislative Delegation, and the Broward League of Cities. Unlike Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point has not yet decided to join a lawsuit being prepared by the City

“I’m a firm believer that the government closest to the people is the most responsive form of government.” While the City of Lighthouse Point has not yet joined other Broward County cities in joining the lawsuit, the City’s resolution did urge the Florida legislature to immediately repeal the “draconian” sanctions. City attorneys in Broward County, including the Lighthouse Point city attorney, have been in discussions to determine if it would be best to

limit the number of cities that join the lawsuit to a small group, so the case will be easier to manage. Mayor Glenn Troast said that the city attorney will be presenting the results of those discussions to the City Commission with a recommendation. The next steps need to be made at the federal and state levels, said Troast. “There’s nothing under current state law that cities can do,” he said. “The state needs to change the law – and the resolution is very clear on that – and the federal government needs to take action.” Troast said Florida’s new legislation is a good first step. “Is everything in there? No. Do I agree with everything that is in that state law? No. But I’m not going to get into parsing it, because I think it’s a good starting point, and we need to start somewhere,” he said. “I’m very pleased with what the state has done and with what the governor signed, and I believe the cities will find it very useful.”

UTILIZING THE NEW GUN LAWS

Lighthouse Point has already utilized the state’s new gun laws. On March 14, Lighthouse Point became the first city in Florida to temporarily seize firearms from a 56-year-old Lighthouse Point man deemed to pose a significant danger to himself or others. The man had been involuntarily taken into custody by the Lighthouse Point police under the Baker Act, and placed in a facility for psychiatric treatment. At that time, he relinquished the weapons and ammunition in his possession. Under the state’s old gun laws, someone committed involuntarily for 72 hours under the Baker Act could have their guns returned to them by the police immediately upon discharge. The new law enabled the Lighthouse Point Police Department to petition the Broward County Circuit Court for a “risk protection order” to temporarily prevent the man from having access to firearms even after released from psychiatric hold. Finding there was “clear and convincing” evidence the man was at high risk of harming himself or others if given access to firearms, the court granted an order valid for two weeks, with the possibility of extending it for up to 12 months. The court order allowed Lighthouse Point officers to seize a Ruger LCP .380 pistol, an M2 Mauser .45 pistol, a Charter Arms .357 mag snub nose revolver and a Mossberg 500 12-gauge shotgun, plus 267 rounds of ammunition. According to court records, officers had conducted a welfare check on the Lighthouse Point man and found him to be delusional. He told police that he was being targeted and burglarized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a neighbor who lives in his building, who he said “looks like Osama Bin LEFT Students at Pompano Beach High School participate in a 17-minute walkout in honor of the 17 victims of the tragedy in Parkland.

The Lighthouse Point Police Department filed a request for the temporary risk protection order in the Broward County Circuit Court on March 14, a week after the welfare check. The order was granted two days later and required the man to surrender all weapons and ammunition in his possession, plus any license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm. The court authorized the police to hold the man’s confiscated firearms, ammunition and license until the final risk protection order hearing on March 28, at which time the judge was to decide if the temporary seizure of the weapons and license should be extended for 12 months. “This new law provides a significant improvement for public safety across the state of Florida,” said Lighthouse Point Police Chief Ross Licata. “It provides law enforcement with the tools necessary to prevent those with mental illness who are a threat to themselves and others from regaining possession of firearms and ammunition that were seized by the police during a Baker Act and threatening incident.”

POMPANO BEACH’S REACTION TO PARKLAND

firearms, magazines and ammunition to 21; and supporting the passage of legislation that would keep military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines away from schools. The 15-page resolution was sent by the Pompano Beach city clerk to President Donald Trump, Gov. Rick Scott, the United States Congressional Delegations from Florida, the Broward County Legislative Delegation and the Broward League of Cities. Other cities in Broward County, including Lighthouse Point, Weston and Coral Springs, passed similar resolutions. “This is our first step,” said Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisher. “We’re going to do some other things, hopefully, in the near future.” But Fisher said “we must be very cautious as an elected body” and make sure that everything is done in a way that is “legally correct.” Under Florida statute, local governments cannot pass any rules that regulate firearms or ammunition. Any public official who violates this law can be removed from office by the governor, fined up to $5,000 and face a possible lawsuit. In addition, any local law regulating firearms or ammunition would be declared null and void. The resolution passed by the City Commission urged the Florida legislature to repeal these “draconian punitive punishments” of local elected officials. It also stated that “local governments have a duty to protect their residents, visitors, tourists and businesses and that such duty should not be infringed upon by state government.”

On Feb. 27, at its first meeting following the shooting, the Pompano Beach City Commission unanimously passed a “It’s very difficult to be handcuffed by the resolution urging the state of Florida, Gov. law, so we’re looking at how to challenge it.

On March 1, Berman attended a meeting of city attorneys from around Broward County to discuss a possible challenge to the statute or the repeal of certain provisions that prevent cities from doing what they need to do to protect their residents. A second meeting took place one week later. In February, the City Commission of Weston voted to file a lawsuit against the state of Florida, seeking a declaration that the provisions of the statute punishing local elected officials for enacting gun regulations are invalid. Weston invited other cities to join the lawsuit, which challenges the constitutionality of the provisions. As a result, a resolution was placed on the agenda of the Pompano Beach City Commission meeting held on March 13 for the City of Pompano Beach to join the lawsuit. The resolution passed unanimously. The resolution states that the penalties provided for in the statute “strike at the core of the American system of democratic representation: they suppress, in an insidious, Orwellian fashion, the voice of the local electorate through intimidation of local elected officials.” It also says that they “infringe on the free speech rights of the City Commission, and interfere with their ability to perform their official duties,” and that the removal of a municipal official who

has not been indicted for any crime violates due process. “I believe that consensus will be built in Broward County throughout 31 municipalities and the majority of them will come together, and we’ll have better strength in numbers,” said Mayor Fisher.

STUDENT ACTIVISM On the one-week anniversary of the mass shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, thousands of students at close to 50 schools in South Florida, including Pompano Beach High School, walked out of their classes or staged some form of protest to demand lawmakers make changes to prevent further gun violence. On Feb. 26, students from Pompano Beach High School marched the 17 miles to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to show their support. The following day, over 130 students from Pompano Beach High School marched to Pompano Beach City Hall. They remained there for about an hour, chanting and listening to speakers.

“I can tell you how much that affected me, personally, as a community leader,” Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisher said at the commission meeting that took place later that day. He recounted how one of the students who came up to him was crying because she knew two of the Parkland victims from her church. “She looked at me and said, ‘Mayor, what are you going to do for us? We are relying on you to make the difference. Can you promise me that you will do everything you can to not let this happen again?’” “It was pretty moving,” said Fisher. “My response was, obviously: I will do anything I can – physically, professionally, politically and humanly –

not to let this happen again.” Fisher said the students were determined, and that “this is not going to sit on a shelf.” “They’re the upcoming generation…and they’re going to make the difference.” ABOVE Juniors from Pompano Beach High School (PBHS) Ajani Garnes (left) and Allie Tomaini (right) stand with Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisher at the walkout to city hall.

Rick Scott, surrounded by family members of students killed in the Parkland shooting, signed the bill into law. He said the bill balances “our individual rights with need for public safety.” The bill, called “The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act,” was supported by the families of the Parkland victims. It provides for raising the minimum age to buy rifles from 18 to 21 (matching the age to buy a handgun), imposing a three-day waiting period for all gun sales, and creating a “marshal” program that will allow certain school employees to carry handguns on campus if they go through law enforcement training and if the school district decides to participate in the program. Other provisions of the $400 million bill include new mental health programs for schools; an anonymous tip line where students and others can report threats to schools; the hiring of more school resource officers; physical security improvements to schools; a ban on the sale or possession of bump stocks (devices that can be attached to rifles to enable them to fire faster); and more police powers to confiscate guns from dangerous people (the red flag law).

ASSAULT WEAPONS

What the bill doesn’t include is a ban on assault weapons, like the AR-15 semiautomatic rifle used in the Parkland attack, or a ban on high-capacity magazines, which allow gunmen to shoot more people in less time. These two provisions were among the biggest demands of the Parkland students, as well as many lawmakers, and have widespread public support. The military-style AR-15 and its variants have become the weapons of choice for many mass shooters, including the gunmen in Sutherland Springs, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; Orlando, Florida; San Bernardino, California; Newtown, Connecticut; and Aurora, Colorado. The Pompano Beach City Commission is in favor of banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. The fact that the City of Pompano Beach is exploring ways to ban such items may seem contradictory to some, since Pompano and Broward County approved tax breaks for Kalashnikov USA, the maker of AK-47 assault rifles, to set up its headquarters in Pompano Beach at the end of 2015. A Florida statute, however,

allowed Kalashnikov USA’s name to be withheld from the City Commission. “If we had known,” said Mayor Fisher, “I believe the Commission would have tried everything we could to stop it.” The $162,000 incentives package from the state, city and the county was put together by Gov. Rick Scott’s office to lure Kalashnikov USA from Pennsylvania to South Florida. In exchange, the company pledged to create 54 jobs with an average salary of $51,266 a year. Broward and Pompano Beach committed to $16,200 each, and the remainder was covered by the state. While Kalashnikov USA did move to Pompano Beach, no incentive money was ever paid because the gun manufacturer did not complete the required process to obtain the funds. According to police, the accused Parkland shooter had an AK-47 in his arsenal of weapons. Anger over the Parkland school shooting prompted protesters to rally against Kalashnikov USA outside the gun manufacturer’s 40,000-square-foot facility, located at 3901 NE 12th Ave., an industrial center northeast of the Dixie Highway and Sample Road intersection. The online announcement for the protest, which took place on Feb. 25, and was hosted by the Broward Chapter of Women’s March Florida and several other local groups, read: “In light of the recent mass murder in Marjory Stoneman Douglas with the use of an AR-15, we are shocked to find out that a manufacturer of a similar rifle has been in operation within our county for the past two years – just a few miles from where the gunman murdered 17 innocent lives, while traumatizing an entire community.” At a recent Pompano Beach City Commission meeting, a resident speaking about gun controls noted that Pompano [CONTINUED ON PAGE 114] “is known as the capital of

Honoring Heroes LIGHTHOUSE POINT REMEMBERS THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED

In designing the Lighthouse Point Heroes Memorial Shrine at Frank McDonough Park, the goal was to develop a public space to immortalize past heroes while enabling the community to look forward with hope and admiration. Frank McDonough Park is a symbol of youth and the future. Placing this shrine in the northwest corner of the grounds allows all to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while remembering those who have sacrificed to ensure freedom and safety. The shrine serves to memorialize Lighthouse Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans and first responders and will serve as a symbol of patriotism in the community for many years to come.

Honor Flight is a non-profit that helps WWII veterans visit the WWII memorial in Washington D.C. by providing airfare and companionship. The Director of the South Florida chapter of Honor Flight is Ryan Paton, a Lighthouse Point resident. Paton has personally met over 1,000 WWII veterans from South Florida who have participated in the Honor Flight Program. In meeting each one, Paton has formed some close friendships. “They became my drinking buddies,” he said. “I hang out with these 90-plus people more than I hang out with my own friends.” As Paton formed close bonds with several of the veterans, he said he heard incredible, mind-blowing tales. “I’m listening to their stories over cocktails and I said I wish I had a camera right now… this is the most unbelievable stuff I’ve ever heard,” he said. That’s when Paton had the idea for “Cocktails with Heroes” — a documentary-style series featuring eight South Florida WWII veterans who all served in different parts of the world during WWII. In addition to the documentary series, which is currently in production, Paton has created a book. Each chapter of the book features one veteran’s story, side-by-side with either a wine, beer or cocktail from the country that veteran helped to liberate during the second world war. Paton says he envisions people reading each chapter while enjoying the featured drinks. “If you don’t care for history it’s still a good book to read. Maybe if you don’t like to read, >>> APRIL 2018 | LIGHTHOUSE POINT

<<< you like to drink,” he said laughing. Paton has been securing discounts from various wineries and breweries so that people who buy the book will also have easy access to the featured drinks. Paton said the stories of the veterans are not just historical facts; rather they focus on the life lessons each veteran learned. The stories, he said, are less historical and more personal. For example, he said, one of the featured veterans Larry tells the story of how decades after the war was over, while he was on a cruise vacation, he met a former Nazi soldier whom he had fought directly against. Larry, a proud Jewish American, was able to converse with the former Nazi and find common ground. They had fought in the same battles, are the same age and have daughters the same age. “Larry’s chapter is about forgiveness,” Paton said. Larry told Paton that through meeting the former Nazi soldier, he realized that had he been in the same shoes — 18-years-old, in Germany, with no control over the war — he may have made a similar choice. “The book is really about the lessons each of them learned from their stories. It’s not all about combat and war,” Paton said. Proceeds from both the book sales and associated alcohol sales will benefit Honor Flight in parts of the U.S. that have difficulty raising funds to send their local veterans to the Washington D.C. memorial. In South Florida, Paton said, it is easy to raise money, but in other rural parts of the country there are veterans who want to participate in the Honor Flight program but can’t afford to. Paton said he hopes the book will be available by the end of April. The book will be available for purchase online at CocktailsWithHeroes.com. Paton also encourages people to learn more about Honor Flight South Florida. Anyone over the age of 18 can volunteer to become a “Guardian” to accompany a WWII veteran on a trip to the Washington D.C. memorial. Paton said the trips are “lifechanging.” The next two Honor Flights from South Florida will take place on April 14 and June 2. To learn more, visit honorflightsouthflorida.com.

BEYOND THE HEDGES AT

John Knox John Knox Village (JKV) is celebrating its 50th anniversary

A Word from Frank Furman

One of the distinguishing elements of John Knox’s board is that residents of the community are voting members of the board. Frank Furman served on the board for over 30 years. In that time, Furman collected many memories, but one of his favorite stories, he said, was the time he helped throw a birthday party for a 106-year-old woman. For her party, Furman made one of her dreams come true. He called a zoo that was putting on a show in West Palm and said: “I need an elephant.” Furman arranged to have two live elephants on the lawn at JKV. “She screamed with excitement,” Frank remembers. “Everyone was clapping and enjoying the experience. The attendants had put on a lot of shows, but never one quite like this. We celebrated. After that, she said, ‘Frank, It’s time.’ I said, I think I understand what you mean, but if I have any say about it, I vote against it. She took herself off her medicines and she passed away shortly after. The sense of community is what Furman says makes JKV so remarkable.

in Pompano Beach. The community, which houses approximately 900 people over the age of 62, lays on 70-acres of land with pristine lakes and tropical landscaping. The Village has seen major growth over the last five decades, building new residences, adding new programs, becoming its own voting precinct and employing 892 people. While the Village is rich with history, the Chief Executive Officer of JKV, Gerry Stryker, has even loftier goals for the community’s future. He aims to re-frame the way retirement is viewed and transform the way JKV operates beyond the Village’s hedges. He envisions a community that is multi-generational, less segregated and more engaged with the City of Pompano Beach. In celebration of JKV’s anniversary, we look back at the community’s history, and forward, to JKV’s innovative future.

BY DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU

erry Stryker, the Chief Executive Officer of John Knox Village, is what some might call a dreamer. A big dreamer. He speaks poetically and charismatically about his philosophies on end-of-life care, how we interact with our elders and his visions for John Knox Village. He imagines a place where those over the age of 62 are not isolated from the Pompano Beach community, but who become an integral part of it, volunteering, seeking second careers, learning, mentoring and engaging with their community. He describes a Village that is “multi-generational” — one in which both the young and old intermingle to “work, live and play.” He stresses the importance of a place where not only do the young serve their elders, but where the old teach the young. Stryker subscribes to the idea well described by Dr. Bill Thomas, a pioneer in re-thinking the way America treats end-of-lifecare: “We need elders more than ever, because of their unique ability to enrich us. They are the human equivalent to super glue.” Stryker has made this philosophy the structure upon which John Knox Village builds the future. Many of the Village’s recent improvements and future projects reflect these ideals. The goal, as stated eloquently in JKV’s Vision Statement, is to be an innovator, “creating engaging lifestyles that encourage personal growth, autonomy and independence, healthy aging and a sense of purpose.”

Village First and foremost, JKV is a community — the campus has a newly-renovated fitness center, a medical center, inhome nursing, faith center, pool, rehabilitation services and a wide array of housing options including apartments and villas. JKV has incredible social and wellness programming — everything from a pet parade, to sunrise tai chi, vow renewal ceremonies, live music, crafts, concerts, lectures, educational courses, volunteer opportunities…the list goes for pages. JKV is, however, also a life insurance policy and end-oflife plan. When a person chooses to join they Village, they are guaranteed as much care as they need for life — with no limitations and no exclusions. From independence, to assisted living and skilled nursing care, total long-term care coverage is included. Transportation within The Village is also available, as well as regularly scheduled trips to local shopping, professional centers and houses of worship. All maintenance of the home both inside and out is taken care of, even regular house cleaning and linen services are provided.

The spirit of The Village must be experienced to truly be appreciated. The Village is dedicated to providing a protective, supportive environment in which residents may thrive as their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing is addressed. CEO Styrker tells us what’s in store for JKV...

Mr. Stryker’s Vision GERRY STYKER ENVISIONS JKV TO BE A PLACE THAT IS “MULTI-GENERATIONAL” WITH AN ACTIVE EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE YOUNG AND OLD

Gerry Stryker second from left

“What I’ve wanted to do is make JKV MultiGenerational. Not intergenerational — multigenerational. Intergenerational is the equivalent of busing in a bunch of students from FAU or Nova Southeastern for a class and they are talking heads to a bunch of seniors sitting on a chair. Multigenerational is you’re living, working and playing in the same community — so you interact.

The key here is it’s not always the younger adult helping the older adult. It’s the older adult engaging and providing resources to the younger adult. It’s this exchange — that is what has been missing in the 32 years I’ve been doing this. I want the greater community to know that JKV has an incredible heritage, but the future of where it’s going is so more unique…here, at JKV, we’re different. JKV is about lifestyle. Healthcare is always a really important entity. But lifestyle and programming is really where the emphasis is. I see an opportunity where people will actually come to this area [JKV]…they’ll come here and they’ll experience life that’s more engaged as a neighborhood. That’s what I’m trying to create — those connections….That’s what this community is missing. What I’ve learned is that, wow, relationships are at the heart of what these communities are all about. When you take time to get to know people, they will tell you stories of their journey in life that equip you for what might be coming around the corner…From age mid-20s to 56 today, I have learned so many incredible stories that actually mature you well beyond your years.”

timeline 1967: Dr. Mack R. Douglas, a minister from Margate, gathered a few friends and proposed to develop a retirement community for senior citizens. The plan called for the construction of a group of cottages to be leased to a senior single or couple for the balance of their lives. The community was developed and opened in Pompano Beach in 1967.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

Early press clippings from the Miami Herald stated that The Village began with nine residences. Shortly after, another 72 garden villas were built. That was followed by the completion of 90 apartments in East Lake.

| lhpmag.com

The early years of The Village were quite successful. At the time, there were very few continuing care communities in the country, and many seniors had tired of caring for their own homes and wished to have the security of life-care.

By 1973, The Village spanned 50 acres with approximately 370 independent living residences in East Lake, Cassels Tower, as well as Lakeside and Garden Villas. The East Wing of the Health Center was added shortly after to care for residents who needed full-time nursing assistance.

On February 6, 1978, John Knox Village was officially incorporated under the leadership of Dr. Kenneth P. Berg and the oversight of a Board of Directors.

New Projects at John Knox Village

BUSINESS INCUBATION LAB The idea behind the Business Incubation Lab is to bring outside community members onto the JKV campus to help design products for older adults that haven’t been thought of yet. The collaboration between residents and business leaders could produce some cool new ideas. INNOVATION CENTER (END OF DECEMBER BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2019) The innovation center will serve as a welcome center and resource for both residents and the Pompano Beach Community. The center will include a garden and greenhouse to learn about growing food, a design center where guests can simulate interior or exterior design options for their homes, and a tech hub where residents can learn the latest in technology.

JKV’s RELATIONSHIP TO POMPANO BEACH Mr. Stryker has been striving to create a cohesiveness between JKV and the City of Pompano Beach. He envisions JKV being a place connected to the redevelopment of Old Town and the Dixie Corridor. “We’re going to get this Dixie Highway to not be these chop houses and this blight that you think you’re driving through Beirut on your way from Atlantic to here,” he said. “I want to work with the city to partner on existing resources like the Cultural Center. I want to have programming with the City Vista artists-in-residence program and Old Town. It is such an amazing opportunity that we have here with this community. “In the future I envision, along that corridor as Dixie changes, an area where we can attract the greater community to be a part of JKV.”

In 1980, expansion included 60 additional beds in the health center, rooms for assisted living, and space for therapy treatments. Village Towers was completed featuring another 200 independent living residences and The Village continued to grow through careful and controlled planning.

In 1992, a new assisted living facility opened, and the health center was rededicated with 55 additional beds, dining and activities space, and nursing stations on the second floor of the west wing. The Lakeside Dining Room, the Village Auditorium and additional facilities were added to the community.

Heritage Tower was completed in October 2004. The ten-story Tower features a total of 120 spacious oneand two-bedroom apartments, plus meeting areas for resident gatherings.

>>>

15-STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING (ABOUT THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE) There are plans in play to build a new 15-story residential building and improvements to the lake that will take about three years to complete. LAKESIDE DINING (PROJECTED APRIL) The new Lakeside Dining room, will include sit-down dining options as well as buffet. Stryker said eventually the dining area will have specialty stations, such as ethnic food groups, dietary restrictions, etc. VILLAGE CENTER AND OUTDOOR POOL (LATE SUMMER) Stryker said he envisions an improved Village Center open to residents and the general public including a sports bar, green spaces with sitting areas and firepits, a pool and eventually an aquatic center with lap swimming. Stryker envisions the Pompano Beach community utilizing JKV’s catering services and pool for events. HEALTH CENTER A new two-story health center, including three houses for longterm care and hospice, is projected to be finished in June. EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE A professor on the JKV board is spearheading an Educational Alliance which will help place students of nursing, health services, and other appropriate fields to work on the JKV campus.

Leadership Through the Years

BY PHYLLIS NEUBERGER, RESIDENT OF JKV & CONTRIBUTING WRITER TO JKV’S VILLAGE VOICE NEWSPAPER John Knox Village’s Golden Jubilee gives us pause to think about its rich history and the board leadership that has brought us to where we are today. From the very beginning, board, management, staff and residents have created a community of inspired living that gives residents and staff a true sense of purpose and a meaningful life. John Knox Village was the vision of Dr. Mack R. Douglas when it opened in 1967 operated under the corporate name of Gulfstream Baptist Association, which later became Baptist Village. A local board of directors was created that included residents and those working on the construction of the first two villas and subsequent buildings. The tradition of residents on the board continues to this day. Many other life plan communities are finally grasping the benefits of doing so. When the Village became part of First Baptist Church of Margate, it was forced into bankruptcy due to the foreclosure of one of its properties, Essex Towers and was taken over by John Knox Communities based in Missouri and run by Dr Kenneth P. Berg. In 1976, it was sold to John Knox Village of Florida, Inc., managed by Christian Services International for a short time before once again having a local Board of Directors that included residents.

timeline In 2016 John Knox Village opened the first GREEN HOUSE® model home in any continuing care retirement community in the state of Florida. Unlike traditional health centers, the Woodlands focuses on THE GREEN HOUSE® model of care: Designed around the familial atmosphere and environment around “real homes.” Each home consists of twelve private rooms with baths, a central hearth/gathering area, and a kitchen/dining area, designed to fully care for the 12 Elders within the comfort of “home.” In all, there are 12 homes at The Woodlands.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

The methodology of person-centered care is unique in the Green House philosophy: Integrating caregivers known as shahbazim, with guides, sages and a therapy team — all working together to seamlessly provide the highest level of care possible.

| lhpmag.com

After only one year of operation, The Woodlands at John Knox Village has been honored with the Governor’s Gold Seal Award.

The first President of this local voluntary Board was Paul Bayse, followed by Frank H. Furman, Jr. with Sarah Large serving as the first Resident Board Member in this new version of the local Board. The Village continued to acquire property, built more buildings and added programs until it became the Village we know now that includes John Knox Home Health Agency and JKV Foundation. Mr. Furman had a long, successful tenure of 31 years as Chairman of the Board. He was followed by William Knibloe who served from 2010 through 2015. In 2016, Paul Simpson began his tenure as Chairman of the Board. John Knox Village Boards have been made up of many successful business leaders in the community and possessed the variety of skill sets needed to successfully serve the community. At any given time, there are three resident board members who helped the board keep a pulse on community concerns and desires. Having this group of diverse members including residents has defined John Knox Village as a leader in the industry. We offer a huge thanks to all our board members past and present for voluntarily servings with integrity and true love of the Village over the last 50 years. We celebrate all of you during this very special Golden Jubilee year. For more information about John Knox Village, contact the marketing department at 954-783-4040. Visit the website at johnknoxvillage.com. John Knox Village is located at 651 SW Sixth St., Pompano Beach.

The Gold Seal Award program recognizes Florida skilled nursing care facilities that have exceptionally high standards and display excellence in the quality of care delivered to its residents. In addition to the Governor’s Gold Seal, John Knox Village has also been awarded 5-Stars by Medicare.gov.

For those recovering from illness or injury, the health center offers comprehensive rehabilitation services to help them regain their highest levels of functioning and independence, and to speed recovery for the return home. Whether for rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or short, long-term or memory disorder care, The Woodlands is also available to those outside John Knox Village.

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. 2209 E. Atlantic Blvd., 954-785-7565 $$

St. Coleman Italian Festival

St. Coleman Catholic Church, Pompano Beach PHOTOS BY JEFF GRAVES In 1984, the St. Coleman Italian Festival was just a spaghetti dinner with pony rides. Now the festival has become a huge event with food, carnival rides, music and live entertainment. It serves as one of the largest fund raisers for the St. Coleman elementary school and parish. In past years, proceeds from the festival renovated the administration wing of the school, and built the outdoor gymnasium, media center and parish hall kitchen.

the AK-47.” Then he asked city officials: “How serious are we about this in our city?” The city attorney explained that the reason Pompano couldn’t keep Kalashnikov USA out of the city was because of the statute that preempts any regulation of firearms to the state of Florida.

COUNTY ACTIONS

Broward County Commissioner Michael Udine – who served as Parkland’s mayor from 2006 to 2016, and currently represents Parkland on the County Commission – has been quoted in the press as saying that all the cities in the county should pass an assault-weapons ban on the same day, defying the state law that prohibits local governments from enacting gun regulations. “There’s strength in numbers. If we can come together as a county, I would be in favor of that,” said Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisher. Although elected officials could run the risk of being removed from office for taking such action, Fisher said: “I don’t think the governor would do that in light of this tragedy.” Last month, gun control advocates went before a public hearing of the Broward County Charter Review Commission held in Lauderhill and asked that county residents be allowed to vote on a ban on assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. Fisher said he would be in favor of putting the question on the ballot. The Charter Review Commission, made up of 19 members chosen by the Broward County Commission, convenes every 12 years to propose amendments to the county charter which are placed on the ballot for voters to decide. The Charter Review Commission is currently determining what ballot questions should be put forth in a referendum on the November 2018 ballot. Following the Parkland shootings, members of the Charter Review Commission decided to look at charter amendments involving gun restrictions, even though it would go against Florida law. If county voters were to approve a ban on assault rifles and high-capacity gun magazines – which was not part of Florida’s newly passed gun control legislation – it would likely be unenforceable. Even so, those who addressed the Charter Review Commission said they ABOVE Kalashnikov USA’s 40,000-square-foot facility, located at 3901 NE 12th Ave., Pompano Beach, just northeast of the Dixie Highway and Sample Road intersection.

want to have their say on the issue. It was suggested by Lauderhill’s mayor that given the uncertain legal ground the commission might be treading on, it should, at the very least, put a non-binding referendum on the ballot so voters can be heard, and gain the attention of the state and federal government. The Charter Review Commission held additional public hearings in other Broward cities, including Coral Springs and Fort Lauderdale, but will not make a final decision on any ballot questions until the first week in April.

CLOSING LOOPHOLES

One of the most controversial topics in the gun debate is the so-called “gun-show loophole.” Under Florida law, a

licensed gun dealer is required to run a background check on a buyer. If someone purchases a gun from a private seller, such as at gun shows, no background check is required. Soon after the Parkland shooting, Mayor Fisher called the promoter of a gun show that was scheduled to take place at the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center on the weekend of March 3 and 4. He asked them to cancel the show, and they did. Gun shows hosted by the same promoter are scheduled to take place at the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center in April, June and July. The shows used to be held at the Elks Lodge, before it closed last year. Fisher said he and the city attorney are looking very closely at how gun shows at public facilities in Pompano can be stopped “immediately” and, he hopes, “forever,” with the City Commission’s approval. The new Florida bill does not address the issue of private gun sales such as at gun shows. Y

UNSOLICITED ADVICE

Renewable Energy is the New Smartphone BY ROB KORNAHRENS, CEO OF ADVANCED ROOFING

WHEN THE HORSE WAS REPLACED BY THE AUTOMOBILE, AND THE smartphone replaced most telephones — these changes happened quite fast in historic terms. We all lived through the recent changes to the “mobile devices” and now we are all living through another huge shift to renewable power. Our reliance on conventional means to power our lights and fuel our cars has served us well for over a century. Now, we have the ability to reduce pollution and save a ton of money in the process. So why aren’t we doing it? The irony of being in the sunshine state is that not enough people are taking advantage of one of our states biggest — and freest — natural resources, the sun. As a long-time business owner in South Florida, and entrepreneur in the business for more than 40 years, I constantly look to our leaders and visionaries to inspire us for what is next on the horizon. And in those years, I have seen the astounding growth of new technology. And I am always looking for ways to be ahead of the curve, instead of behind it. The new technology on the horizon is simply staggering. Take electric cars. Over five years, the average car owner will spend $12-$15,000 on gasoline, versus $2000 for a hybrid car or zero dollars for a totally electric vehicle, like the Tesla. By 2025 most new vehicles on the road will be electric. This is on a global scale too, not just the U.S., and it’s not just Tesla. Ford is investing billions in electric cars. Uber is getting in the market

too. In addition, these cars will serve as mobile energy storage devices for all that solar energy collected on roof tops. Living in Florida, solar power seems like an obvious method of energy production with some staggering statistics too. Solar power has improved 2,000 times relative to gas, 3,000 times to nuclear and natural gas and 1,000 times compared to coal power. This will continue to increase. And the prevalence of solar power will accelerate, further driving down the cost. The majority of new electricity generation capacity brought online recently has been renewable sources like wind or solar. Globally, it is simply cheaper to invest in new production from renewable sources. The new technologies have reached the point of inevitability. What we now see on the streets, on the market and in or on top of homes will soon be in your driveway or on top of your roof. It is time to reflect these coming realities in our personal, commercial and civic investments. It took about 10 years for the automobile to replace the horse and for the smartphone to dominate the world, yet those underlying technologies had been around for decades prior. Renewable energy has reached this same tipping point. We should acknowledge this sooner rather than later. Y
