*A Vertical Rewards Elite 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 2.00% 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 .50% APY (“Base Interest Rate”) for that statement cycle, and the Account will still be eligible to earn rewards during the next cycle. After the Introductory Period, the APY on daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, in the Account may range from .50% APY to 2.00% APY depending upon (i) a direct deposit via ACH posting to the Account and (ii) the number of qualifying banking services (“Qualifying Services”) performed each statement cycle. If the direct deposit and/or the minimum number of Qualifying Services 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 10/10/2018. 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 or rewards. 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. A $20 monthly maintenance fee will be assessed if the average 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.

BE PREPARED! places anywhere can match the wonderful, “ Few year-round climate and natural beauty that we enjoy in South Florida. But our paradise can become perilous when hurricane force winds rip through our neighborhoods.

Last year, the massive destruction and power outages from Hurricane Irma lasted for weeks. And Irma wasn’t even the highest category storm when it hit us. That’s why I’m urging all residents to read the L A M A R F I S H E R LO G O O P T I O N S - PAG E 2 Broward County Hurricane Preparedness Guide now – before the next storm comes. Broward.org/Hurricane has important pre-storm checklists and other valuable information including 1 the locations of shelters for you and your pets.

CreativelySPEAKING

BY SUSAN ROSSER

Lessons from My Brief, College Greek Life I was thrown out of my college sorority. Well, technically I was never actually initiated as a sister into the sorority which I pledged, as a senior. Later the school administration demanded I be reinstated; but I declined. This story is frankly, just too common; the group I attempted to join portrayed itself as honorable, but did not uphold the values the members professed to espouse. Anyway, the president of the Delta Lambda chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma met me outside our last pledge meeting. She and her cronies informed me I would not be initiated. This might seem awful, but it really wasn’t as bad as it sounds. Apparently, I had not taken pledging seriously (true). They listed a slew of requirements I failed to fulfill (true): I never interviewed all of the sisters; I was often spotted around campus without my pledge pin (totally true); I refused to fetch drinks for my sisters at parties and so on (really, seniors don’t do that!). Conversely, my “big sister” and best friend made sure I fulfilled my community service requirement. Together, we visited an elderly German immigrant who lived in a nearby nursing home, Mr. Freund. He told us stories about fruelines back home with a boyish smirk as we basically brightened his day and kept him from being lonely. The sorority boasted of their scholarship and service and this was helpful, but rewarding for me too. None of the other pledges in my class ever went to the nursing home; but they did religiously wear their pledge pins around campus. I explained to my accusers that I chose what was important to me and I was comfortable with my decisions. I was surprised that wearing pledge pins superseded the commitment to community service. At the end of our little confrontation, I told them they had misplaced values and walked off without making a fuss.

From the get go, I found the process petty, bewildering and often times down right mean. During one interview, I sat facing a tribunal of my future sisters seated behind a banquet table — an arrangement clearly designed for intimidation. Again, their values were misaligned from my view and I clearly communicated my disdain then, and at other times. Clearly, I had little power to change their views on how I felt I could contribute to the group. Thanks to my involvement in my class’ executive council, I had come to know the Dean of Students. I made an appointment and told him about my abrupt expulsion from Phi Sigma Sigma. He asked if my parents were concerned about this mess because they paid all of my sorority fees. (Years later, my mother told me she only agreed through the fog of chemotherapy.) Of course I told him they were upset (they were) and that they wanted their money back (they did). I also told him I was a second semester senior with one foot out the door. With graduation only weeks away, I knew who my friends were. I let him know that the young women who had relayed the chapter’s decision were not particularly kind and while I walked away from Greek life without a care in the world, surely a young freshman girl would be far worse off. The truth is, while I was OK and I did see the humor in the whole fiasco, it did sting a little. No one likes rejection. I worry about sororities for young women, fraternities, football teams and service groups — are they truly focused on the service and missions they stand for, or competing just for popularity or other gains? I risk condemning all groups with my point but I want a culture where service to each other and the greater community is more important than pledge pins. Perhaps I should have joined the circus?

RMA Wins First Place Communication Award for Pompano Beach’s Neighborhood Ambassador Program

Redevelopment Management Associates (RMA), the economic redevelopment consulting and management firm that has been working with the City of Pompano Beach, recently won a first place prize at a Florida Festivals and Events Association event for instituting Pompano Beach’s Neighborhood Ambassadors program. The ambassadors — called VIPs (Volunteers in Pompano) — serve as liaisons between local businesses, area friends, residents, community programs, events and all things happening in Pompano Beach. As a VIP, neighborhood ambassadors receive e-invitations to upcoming events, groundbreakings and grand openings. They also receive special offers from area businesses, Bailey Contemporary Arts (BaCA) and the Historic Ali Cultural Arts (Ali), get special event volunteer opportunities and regular city updates. The program was adapted from similar programs the RMA has instituted in other cities. “We initiated our first Neighborhood Ambassadors program just over 10 years ago in the Northwood Village section of West Palm Beach,” said Sharon McCormick, RMA’s Director of Business Attraction and Marketing. “What began with one liaison, grew into 30 and then 300. Our strategy was to create a social atmosphere to share news, create a spirit of ‘being in the know’ and establish connections, so together, we would reposition the community for growth and facilitate innovation.” To learn more about Pompano Beach’s VIP Neighborhood Ambassador program, or to apply, visit pompanobeachfl.gov/pages/cra/cra.

Outré Theater Company Presents “The Christians” In Outré’s last season of works at the Pompano Cultural Center, the theater company performed an intriguing — and often controversial— series of shows, including Orwell’s “1984,” a Green Day rock opera called“American Idiot,” a feminist take on Reservoir Dogs called “Reservoir Dolls” and a musical about a transgender rockstar, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” In Outré’s upcoming production of “The Christians” Outré will explore faith, belief and the seemingly insurmountable distance that separates us.

“This play, while set in a Protestant Christian church, creates a dialogue that transcends religion, and is incredibly poignant at this time in our nation,” said Skye Whitcomb, Outré’s Artistic Director and the director of the production. “The thing that strikes me most about ‘The Christians’ is that for all the struggle that the characters go through, there is no ‘bad guy.’ Every one of these characters is coming from a place of personal truth, of belief, and they struggle with reconciling the differences in their beliefs. There’s this heartbreaking distance

between them that tugs at the soul. And one of the most wrenching questions that the play forces us to contemplate is what we should do when those we love believe something that is not only different from what we believe, but believe something that we feel is actually dangerous.” WHEN: Oct. 19 - Nov. 11; Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 2pm WHERE: Pompano Beach Cultural Center, 50 W. Atlantic Blvd., Pompano Beach COST: $42pp for adults; $20.50 for students. Tickets can be purchased at ccpompano.org

Pompano Explores Naming Rights and Sponsorships as New Revenue Source In an effort to generate non-property tax revenues to help fund its operations and programs, the City is considering selling naming rights and corporate sponsorships for a number of its assets. In September, the City Commission approved in a 4-2 vote a contract with The Superlative Group, a national sponsorship analytics and sales firm specialized in working with local governments, to move forward with developing and negotiating sponsorship and naming rights contracts. In addition, the Commission approved a sponsorship policy that Superlative was Pier Parking Garage. Photo by Jeff Graves

hired last year to help write. The firm was also tasked with preparing a report that included an asset inventory with the estimated revenue each asset could generate. “It’s an innovative area that we wanted to look into,” Suzette Sibble, assistant city manager, told the Commission. Sibble said the objective is to ultimately reduce the tax burden on residents over time. Naming rights opportunities were identified for the following venues, along with their potential annual revenues, which, when combined, amount to approximately $325,000 to $570,000 per year: • Pompano Beach Fishing Pier – $60,000 - $90,000 • Pier Parking Garage – $25,000 - $50,000 • Pompano Beach Cultural Center – $50,000 - $75,000 • Pompano Beach Cultural Center Facilities: • Theater – $25,000 - $50,000 • Outdoor Spaces – $15,000 - $30,000 • Community Park – $50,000 - $75,000 • Community Park Facilities: • Tennis Center – $20,000 - $40,000

• Aquatic Center – $20,000 - $40,000 • Dog Park – $15,000 - $30,000 • Hike and bike trail around the air park and golf course – $20,000 - $40,000 • Ali Cultural Arts Center outdoor performance space – $25,000 $50,000 Along with facility signage, naming rights benefits could include the naming sponsor’s ID on light pole banners, employee uniforms and information kiosks. In addition to naming rights, Superlative estimates that there is also a potential to generate revenue through category sponsorships, which could include “pouring rights” agreements at the identified city assets and their hosted events, whereby the manufacturer or bottler of a non-alcoholic beverage would be given exclusive permission to control beverage distribution. Category sponsorships could also be agreements with companies in the areas of telecom, financial services, healthcare, automotive, sporting goods and energy. According to Superlative, $50,000 to $500,000 of revenue per year could be generated by each category sponsorship opportunity. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater was not among the city assets considered for naming rights and other sponsorship opportunities because of an operating contract with AEG Presents. If Superlative were to sell all the naming rights and sponsorship opportunities they’ve identified, the City could net $600,000 to $3.5 million per year. Resident Tom Terwilliger told commissioners the City has spent multiple millions of dollars on building the name recognition of Pompano Beach. “Why do you want to throw it away for pennies? Please, protect the name of the city for the residents.” Sibble said it has become more important over the last few years for the City to pursue alternative revenue sources because the Florida Legislature tries on a regular basis to erode some of the City’s local revenue sources. For example, a few years back, the Legislature tried to eliminate or reduce the amount of business tax receipts the City could assess. The City receives about $2 million in business tax receipts a year. Commissioner Michael Sobel voted against the sponsorship policy that Superlative put forward. He also voted, along with Commissioner Beverly Perkins, against the five-year contract allowing Superlative to solicit contracts with corporate >>>

As candidate for district 3 commissioner I want you to know that I have heard your concerns about crime and safety in our neighborhoods, businesses and parks. There is no overnight fix to this problem. I am not going to be the guy that makes empty promises on ways to fix things. I want to be the elected official that hears you and works with you to make our city safe. Proactive policing along with business owners enforcing no panhandling on properties is a step in the direction needed to bring back safety in our city.

.I have come to see a very large divide in our community. Success within our city comes from working together. We are 5 districts that create 1 city and it is time to elect officials that want to work with the residents, other elected officials and the city staff to continue on a path of progress. It's time we put the people and progress of Pompano Beach first. If elected, I will work hard to make Pompano Beach the home where we all can live, work and play. 473 NE 1st Street Pompano Beach 33060

Superlative will be paid a $7,500 monthly retainer fee for up to 18 months, plus a $10,000 travel stipend. The Commission will have final approval of any proposed sponsorship contracts. For any contracts that are approved, the firm will get a 15 percent commission. “The question is,” said Sobel, “what kind of Pompano Beach do we want in the future? We’re going to permanently market city assets and dictate the products that the residents can consume while attending those assets.” Sobel said the income that may be generated from it “is negligible, in my view, in terms of the imagery that we’re compromising and the type of city that we will become when we turn these city assets into brand names…It’s not my vision for Pompano Beach.” “It’s not always about the money,” Sobel added. “This Commission is about to sell our Pompano Beach soul for a diet Pepsi.” Mayor Lamar Fisher said: “I would not want the public to think that we are ‘selling our soul’ here. We have full control of this particular item, from now until we want to terminate or it’s successful.” Vice Mayor Charlotte Burrie said that sponsorships are “a great source of income, but just how much City of Pompano Beach identity will we lose?” Burrie also said she does not think Pompano has the type of buildings that would bring in the amount of money the City is looking for. “Originally, I was against this,” said Commissioner Rex Hardin, “but I think we ought to go ahead and give ourselves the option. If we can look for outside revenue sources where we reduce the reliance on the taxpayer, that’s what we ought to be doing.” Under its contract, Superlative is required to provide monthly progress reports which will be shared with the City Commission. If the firm does not perform adequately, or the City wants to go in a different direction, the City can terminate

Pompano Beach Commits To Fostering Local Solar Market Pompano Beach has made a commitment to become more solar friendly and has been accepted to participate in SolSmart, a U.S. Dept of Energy-funded recognition program for communities that have taken steps to make it faster, easier and more affordable for home and business owners to invest in solar energy. A designated SolSmart advisor will be working with Pompano Beach to streamline its permitting, planning, zoning and inspection process for home or small business solar installations. By meeting certain criteria, the city can achieve a SolSmart Gold, Silver or Bronze designation. The process could involve making revisions to the city’s code of ordinances.

“The City is proud of our expedited permitting program,” said Assistant Development Services Director Jennifer Gomez. “We look forward to identifying any perceived barriers in our codes and finding ways to further facilitate solar installations.” In addition to benefitting solar customers, the SolSmart designation is meant to send a signal to solar installation companies that the city supports local solar energy

development, which can help attract them to the community and promote economic growth. The designation also signifies that the city is committed to a cleaner environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Participation in the SolSmart program was arranged through the South Florida Regional Planning Council. The council reached out to the 71 municipalities in the three counties it serves – Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe – and received letters of commitment to pursue SolSmart designation from 15 of them, including Pompano. The project will be getting underway for these cities over the next few weeks, and will last for nine months. About 200 communities across the U.S. have received a SolSmart designation. According to Gomez, in the past five years, 41 residential properties and two commercial properties in Pompano Beach have installed solar power systems, and 12 residential properties have active permits for the installation of a solar power system. In addition, the Development Services Department has issued permits for 15 solar pool heaters, three solar water heaters, three solar attic fans and one solar camera system. City facilities featuring solar installations are the parking lot on the northeast corner of A1A and Atlantic Boulevard, and a parking lot behind The Foundry restaurant, which have a total of 18 solar-powered lights and 21 solarpowered, multi-space parking meters. The City is not only striving to make the process easier for residents and businesses to invest in solar energy, but plans to expand the use of solar installations at its own facilities.

Survey Reveals Top Concerns of Pompano’s Northwest Community In March of this year, the City hired consultant Dr. Wilhelmena Mack to carry out a survey in District 4 to find out from members of the northwest community what they feel are the key challenges that currently exist in the district, and what specific strategies and actions should be taken to address them. The results of the four-month-long survey, called the Northwest Community Building and Engagement Project, were presented by Mack at the City Commission meeting on Sept. 11. District 4 Commissioner Beverly Perkins had requested the survey because she wanted a valid assessment of the most important issues within the community to be established by a professional, unbiased third party. “So many people are asking, ‘What is it you all want in District 4?’” said Perkins. “Now you have it. It’s right here in front of us. This is what the people say they want.” The results of the survey were broken down by age group: Traditionalists (1928-1945), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1965-1985) and Generation Y (1986-1999). Each age group identified the issues they considered critical. Those issues were then narrowed down to the top seven that need to be addressed (as quoted by the study findings).

Baby Boomers • Job Training/Youth Programs Limited job training programs for their children, such as vocational education, that result in a living wage; limited or no youth or young adult programs to keep their children engaged. • Holding Homeowners and Landlords Accountable Homeowners and landlords not maintaining their property – cutting lawn, painting and general upkeep; not reporting trash dumping, suspicious or illegal activity; not allowing Code Enforcement on their property.

The population of District 4 is about 19,000. In order for the survey to have a valid level of significance, and to be able to generalize the participants’ comments to the rest of the population, a minimum of 100 people needed to participate, said Mack. A total of 166 people participated in the survey, and over 300 people participated in both the survey and the workshops.

These two issues were the top priority across all ages groups:

One Pompano A concept that all areas of the city, from one end to the other, should have, as a minimum, sidewalks, street lights, city landscaping, community entrance signs, speed bumps and paved city roadways. Prostitution Women of the evening, many coming from outside the community, mix with children on their way to school and loiter around convenience stores soliciting; violence erupts in places where they work.

These Issues were the priorities of each specific age group:

Traditionalists • Convenience Stores/Getting a New Grocery Store People loitering outside convenience stores selling drugs and drinking beer make potential customers feel uneasy about entering the store; convenience stores charge high prices for goods.

Generation X and Generation Y • Economic Development Lack of a discernible business development plan and resources to support business growth and generate jobs in the area; lack of black-owned businesses to cater to the quality of life and social needs of the community. • Small Business Development Lack of strategic plans for establishment and expansion of local small businesses; limited ability of small businesses to hire local area residents. Mack began the project by conducting one-on-one phone surveys with 40 key stakeholders in the community from the business, education and religious sectors. Then she met with residents at senior programs, churches, homeowners’ association meetings and various community events, and had 126 people complete a written survey. In the last phase, she held two workshops, called empowerment meetings, at the E. Pat Larkins Center to identify the top issues from all the data collected. The population of District 4 is about 19,000. In order for the survey to have a valid level of significance, and to be able to generalize the participants’ comments to the rest of the population, a minimum of 100 people needed to participate, >>>

Emma Lou Olson Civic Center Will Get Lobby Makeover

The lobby of the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center is set to undergo renovations that will include a new reception desk, new lobby furniture, new flooring and acoustic tiling, new signage, an updated fire sprinkler system, new systems furniture that is ADA compliant and new recessed LED light fixtures. The floor will be brought up to ADA compliance by adding the proper ADA transitions at doorways. The project is anticipated to start in December 2018, and should be completed by March 2019, according to Horacio Danovich, the city’s capital improvements program manager. The lobby will be fully operational during renovation, as work will be phased to accommodate regular business hours. This is the first makeover for the lobby of the civic center, which was built in 1988. Since then, the high-traffic lobby area has experienced wear and tear and its design has become outdated, said Danovich. A contract was awarded to ARK Construction to carry out the renovations at a cost of $112,654.

In addition to Mack, the project committee consisted of Perkins, City Manager Greg Harrison, and four community leaders, including Dr. Robert Stanley, pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church. Stanley told the Commission that Mack “has completed an accurate picture, as well as an assessment, of the northwest community.” He added that in the 27 years he has lived in Pompano Beach, he has “never witnessed this level of community collaboration,” and the recommendations made did not come from a self-interest group, but are from “the true voice and interests” of the residents. He said his faith, along with many of the residents from the northwest community, would be challenged if the recommendations made in the survey are not implemented. Debresia Lesane, who grew up in the northwest community and participated in the survey, said Mack “definitely did all of her work,” and it was a “great survey,” but that it’s just reiterating exactly what residents have been coming and complaining about year after year in the City Commission chambers. “To see that we had to pay an outside voice to verbalize what we were saying is sad,” said Lesane. “I just hope it becomes a checklist rather than just a piece of paper,” she said of the survey. “These are the things that we have asked for, it’s time to check them off. There needs to be a follow-up meeting saying all these requests have been handled.” Mack said she is currently putting together a proposal for the City that contains action strategies to address each of the seven key issues identified in the survey. It will establish goals, timelines and accountabilities, with continued community involvement. City Manager Greg Harrison said staff are in the process of looking at everything in the survey and evaluating what is already included in the existing Strategic Implementation Plan for the entire city, and what issues are covered in the city’s 2018/19 budget. Mack said she sees “a wave of interest, commitment and determination” among the members of the northwest community. “We want to make sure that we do not lose the momentum,” she said. “They are extremely interested in moving forward and not looking back at what has happened in the past. They just want to make sure that we’ve learned from those mistakes that were made, and we start now to do the right things to help it become the kind of community they want it to be.”

Team Pompano Junior Lifeguards Excel at National Competition

The 2018 National Team of the Pompano Beach Junior Lifeguard Program (Team Pompano) was recognized by Mayor Lamar Fisher at the Sept. 11 City Commission meeting for obtaining nine national titles and numerous runner-up finishes at this year’s U.S. Lifesaving Association National Championship in Virginia Beach, an event which drew about 400 participants. The 16-member team brought home nine gold medals, four silver medals, nine bronze medals, seven fourth-place finishes and 13 fifth-place finishes, for a total of 45 medals overall. The young athletes excelled in conditions adverse to their training – a stronger current, rougher waves and cooler water than in Florida – and against top junior lifeguard competitors from around the country. Team Pompano member Mattheus Santos, 17, was selected to be on the U.S. team to compete in the 2018 Lifesaving World Championships in Adelaide, Australia, based on his performance at the Virginia Beach competition. FIRST ROW Riley Andres, Julia Freshour, Reese Andres, Conner Bennett, Jake Schulte, Christian Quinones and Alex Marquez SECOND ROW Coach Taylor Barton, Vivianne Hache, Victoria Scarpinito, Grace Parnas, Summer Schulte, Ronald Hache, Isabella Taylor, Mattheus Santos, Raphael Santos, Shane Schulte, Coach Kelly Schulte and Coach Anthony Mariano THIRD ROW Coach Daniel Brown, Head Coach Joe Taylor

Low Interest Rate for G.O. Bond Sale Will Save Millions of Dollars Pompano Beach sold $105.5 million of General Obligation Bonds (G.O. Bonds) in September at an interest rate of 3.7 percent, compared to the 4.6 percent rate the City had estimated, which means an estimated savings of $20 million over the life of the bonds. It is the first of two sales for the $181 million in G.O. Bonds that Pompano Beach voters approved last March to finance 25 capital improvement projects throughout the city. Earlier in the year, the interest rate for a 30-year G.O. Bond was at about 4 percent. City Manager Greg Harrison said the city was “very fortunate” that the rates had dropped, and did not go back up. The city’s high credit rating was also a factor in securing the favorable interest rate. Before it could be publicly noticed that the bonds were available for sale, the city had to get a credit rating from a rating agency. Moody’s Investors Service assigned a rating of Aa2 and Standard & Poor’s assigned a rating of AA (positive outlook), which is slightly below the highest possible rating of AAA. The ratings represent the city’s ability to pay back the bonds. Proceeds from the bond sale will be used for the first phase of the bond projects, with construction expected to start in spring of 2019. The second bond sale is expected to take place by the fall of 2021 and will be used for the second phase. Starting this November, residents will see the G.O. Bond assessment on their property tax bill every year until the bonds are paid off, which will take a maximum of 30 years.

Pompano Colored School Historic Marker Unveiling

On Sept. 6, city officials and members of the community gathered at Coleman Park for the unveiling of a historic marker that memorializes the Pompano Colored School, which once stood at 718 NW Sixth Street. Through the Florida Historical Marker Program, the location is now designated a Florida Heritage Site. The two-story, six-classroom, concrete and stucco schoolhouse, completed in 1928, was built at the initiative of leaders in the Pompano Beach AfricanAmerican community, including educator Blanche General Ely, who was selected to be the principal. It replaced Pompano’s first school for AfricanAmerican students, which was located a few blocks away on what is now Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and was destroyed in a 1926 hurricane. The new school provided instruction for grades one through six, and eventually expanded to eleventh grade. In 1954, it was renamed Coleman

Elementary School, in honor of a local pastor. The school was closed in 1969, and the Broward County School District tore down the building in 1972. Hazel Armbrister, the city’s historian, along with City Commissioner Beverly Perkins, presided over the historic marker dedication ceremony, which was attended by a number of the school’s former students. Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisher, State Rep. Patricia Williams (a graduate of Blanche Ely High School), and other officials attended the event. “We’re here to celebrate the hard work of a dedicated community that was the foundation of many successful lives,” said Fisher. Perkins and Armbrister spearheaded the more than two-year effort to obtain the historic marker. “They wanted to have a memorial for those who paved the way for providing a quality education for generations to come,” said Fisher.

BY JEFF LEVINE

WE’RE HEADING INTO THE HOME STRETCH FOR WHAT MAY BE THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ELECTION IN POMPANO BEACH IN AT LEAST A DECADE. WHEN THE VOTES ARE COUNTED, WE will have a new mayor and at least three new city commissioners. I thought it might be helpful to share what I have learned about the candidates and offer insights that may help you to make your decisions for this all important election. MAYOR Four candidates are running. City Commissioners Rex Hardin and Michael Sobel are considered the front runners battling for this citywide post. Sobel has stirred up quite a bit of controversy since he became a city commissioner two years ago. I outlined my concerns with Sobel in detail in last month’s Pompano! magazine. At a candidate forum sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 2, Sobel claimed “Everyone who has researched me has endorsed me.” This claim is rather dubious, as both he and Hardin have gathered a long list of endorsements. Sobel also does not seem willing to communicate with publications he deems not completely supportive of his efforts. He has not responded to numerous

requests for interviews or answers to a candidates questionnaire from Pompano! Magazine and reportedly has also blown off similar efforts from the Sun-Sentinel. You’ve got to wonder why he is unwilling to speak to Broward County’s largest news entity or to the only magazine exclusively serving Pompano Beach residents. As I previously wrote, Hardin is much less combative than Sobel, has been a city commissioner for twelve years and is considered to be a key player in helping to institute the considerable development that has taken place in the city over the past several years. He has been a big supporter of Mayor Lamar Fisher, who is exiting his post to run for County Commission. Hardin is the candidate most likely to lead the city’s development along a similar path. Also running for mayor is self described “revolutionary” Debresia LeSane. She reinforced this image by using her three minutes at the candidates forum to blast current city leadership in a style that can best be described as slam poetry. The fourth candidate, Cyndy Floyd is a likable and sincere community organizer but has not presented extensive understanding of the city government or concrete plans for the future. DISTRICT ONE Sobel currently holds this seat. Seeking to replace him are John Cavanaugh, John Geer and Andrea McGee. McGee, a Pompano Beach native, clearly loves her hometown and her enthusiasm is contagious, but she has not provided much in the way of detail on the issues. Geer has closely aligned himself with Sobel. A former candidate for District One Commissioner calls him, “Sobel on steroids... and very combative.” At the recent forum, he spoke about citywide homelessness and prostitution, but not issues more actively affecting the eastside/beach area district he wants to represent. Cavanaugh was not present at the forum but finished third when he ran for the office in 2016. DISTRICT TWO Rhonda Eaton and Thomas Terwilliger are battling to replace the retiring Charlotte Burrie. Eaton’s website urges to “Keep It Going,” presumably an endorsement of the policies of Mayor Fisher and the current commission. Terwilliger ran for the seat in 2016 and at that time told Sun-Sentinel, “crime, wasteful spending and protection of our children” were issues of concern to him. >>>

<<< DISTRICT THREE Michael Skversky and Thomas McMahon are competing to replace Hardin. Skversky lost to Hardin in 2016 and believes the city has spent too much on recent improvements.

DISTRICT FOUR Incumbent Commissioner Beverly Perkins is being challenged by Carmen Jones and Ed Phillips. Phillips and Perkins have battled each other several times before, with Phillips winning the seat in 2014. Perkins has tended to oppose many of the city’s redevelopment efforts in the blighted northwest region, including the emphasis on the cultural arts district, while Phillips has indicated his support for it. At the candidates forum, Jones came off as the strongest public speaker of the evening, possessing a unique ability to rally people with her words. The district has three well qualified candidates. It would be interesting to see if Jones can develop into a leader able to make a much needed impact for her district. DISTRICT FIVE Incumbent Barry Moss is taking on three newcomers: Luciene Gomes, David Miller and Leila Moavero. Moss has generally supported Mayor Fisher and the city’s development plans. Gomes proposes bringing more Brazilian and Latin American based businesses into Pompano Beach. Miller aims to be the voice of the “disenfranchised” and is a supporter of community arts. Moavero offered the most specific, practical and potentially important idea at the Chamber candidates forum. While several contenders expressed concern with the proposed reduction of the Atlantic Blvd/Dixie Highway corridor from three lanes to two (in order to provide a more walkable downtown area), Moavero offered a terrific suggestion, “Cone it off. Try it out for a few months and see if we like it [before implementing a permanent solution].” Simple idea but one that may be very important as the city copes with competing interests to determine whether or not reducing lanes in this highly traveled area is a viable option. While there may be differing opinions on local crime, development vs. over-development and what constitutes appropriate spending, the one issue we can all agree on is no one wants to spend 20-30 minutes going from 95 to the beach along Atlantic Blvd. Y Jeff Levine is the Editor-at-Large of Pompano! magazine.

Take Me to the Book Fair!

BY DAWNE RICHARDS

PRO TIP: MIAMI IS HOME TO THE ANNUAL MIAMI BOOK FAIR. SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1984, THE FAIR IS NOW AMONG THE LARGEST AUTHOR GATHERINGS IN THE WORLD, A GLORIOUS “8-DAY LITERARY PARTY.” We’ve attended this party forever. It was one of the first events I took my children to by myself; they were probably

five and six. If you’re thinking, “Walking around Miami in a crowd of thousands with two small, barely-behaved children sounds nightmarish,” you’re right. But they got older, and despite the misery of those first few visits, they loved it so much that we returned every year. Who can resist a “festival of books”? In Miami, no less! Everywhere you look are books and authors and readers and more books and more authors and...it’s fantastic. During the street fair, which this year kicks off on Friday Nov. 16, there’s Children’s Alley, complete with Clifford, Curious George and other larger than life (pun intended) beloved children’s book

characters, plus many kids’ activities. Childless adults can avoid Children’s Alley and sample food from around the world, listen to great live music, get signed book copies and attend author panel discussions. Look out for your favorite writers; they’re often spotted wandering around the fair. Speaking of the authors – oh, the authors! This year’s slate is stellar, as always, from hometown favorite Dave Barry to Tina Brown, Meg Cabot, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Brad Meltzer, Joyce Carol Oates, Anna Quindlen, Justice Sonya Sotomayor (!), and...ok I’ll stop. I have to; there are over 450 participating authors. The Book Fair is an incredible opportunity to: • Remember that we are still a society of people who read • Realize that Miami is more than just beaches and nightclubs • Spend a day outside in our generally glorious November weather What’s even better is now that Brightline is (finally) running, you can take the train, and arrive in Miami just steps from the entrance to the Book Fair. After the Book Fair, we walk to Bayside and enjoy the sights, sounds and idyllic views while enjoying fantastic food at one of the many restaurants...ok, that’s not quite true. We eat at ONE restaurant. Every single year. And I get the same exact thing, every single year, an “Elena Ruz” sandwich, for which I’ve developed an unshakable affinity. It’s served at the best kind of restaurant, a nondescript place with a simple sign to let you know that you’ve arrived at “Latin American Cuban Cuisine.” Everything on the menu is great, and don’t miss their mojitos. We’ve returned every year because of my undying love for all things literary, which allowed me to overlook those first few nightmarish visits, like the one where, in a fit of utter exhaustion, I flung some newly acquired toy out the window of my car, landing it somewhere on the shoulder of I-95 (“if you don’t stop fighting over that toy...”). My apologies to the environment, but they learned not to fight (ish). Plus, I raised readers, and there’s no better gift. Y

Thanksgiving IMPRESS HOUSE GUESTS WITH THESE MAKE-AHEAD MEALS This time of year there are plenty of cooking guides for Thanksgiving — which in and of itself is another thing for which we can all be grateful. With that in mind, I have decided to focus on the night before the big meal. As families find themselves spread out across the country, many hosts find themselves with a house full of guests on Wednesday night. Who wants to (or even has time to) make two huge meals back-to-back? Here is a game plan for some homemade meals you can prepare weeks in advance and freeze. Just defrost, add a few accouterments and serve. Your guests will feel special! RECIPES AND PHOTOS BY MRS. KOSSENFLOFFER

Boeuf Bourguignon 6-8 servings Like so many home cooks before me, the first recipe I made from Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” was boeuf bourguignon. I followed the recipe exactly and the end result was impressive; however, it was a ton of work. After peeling 24 baby white onions, I was ready to skip the beef and head right to the bourguignon. Below, I have taken a few shortcuts, but it is still a deeply satisfying meal.

INGREDIENTS

6 ounces bacon, cut into lardons (1/4 inch sticks) 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 pounds stewing beef, cut into 2 inch cubes 1 pound carrots, sliced diagonally into 1 inch chucks 2 yellow onions, sliced 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons flour

3 cups full-bodied red wine 3 cups beef stock (ore more) 1 tablespoon tomato paste 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 12 ounces frozen baby onions 1 pound button or baby bella mushrooms, quartered 4 tablespoons unsalted butter fresh parsley for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450 degrees In a large Dutch oven, sauté the bacon in the oil until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Dry the beef with paper towels. Do not skip this step. The beef will not brown if it is wet and a lot of the flavor will come from browning of the beef. Raise the heat. Working in batches, brown the beef in the oil and bacon fat on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pot. Remove the beef and add it to the bacon. Sauté the carrot and onion in the fat and cook until the onions are light brown. Return the beef and bacon to the pot and add the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and toss it around until everything is evenly coated. Set the Dutch oven in the oven, uncovered for 8 minutes. Give it a good toss about halfway through. (This step is worth keeping in because it browns the flour.) Remove from the oven and turn the oven down to 325 degrees. Stir in the wine and stock so that the beef is just covered. Add the tomato paste, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is very tender. While the beef is cooking prepare the mushrooms and onions. Melt the butter in a large sauté pan. Add the onions and sauté until they are browned. Add the onions to the stew. In the same pan add a little more butter and sauce the mushrooms until they are browned. Add the mushrooms to the stew. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. At this point, you can freeze the stew for later use. Defrost in the refrigerator one day before you plan to serve it. Reheat the stew in a Dutch oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve right out of the pot with a good sourdough, crusty French bread or over egg noodles. Don’t forget the wine. XXXXXXXXXXX 2018 | LIGHTHOUSE POINT

Mumbai Meatballs One of my go-to dishes to freeze are meatballs of any kind. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to defrost the balls. If you try to stir them up while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still frozen, you can accidentally break up the meatballs and end up with meat sauce. Of course, people have suffered worse fates. Serve these babies with some warmed up naan, mango chutney, cucumber raita and basmati rice. See page 48 for the recipes.

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with Russian Roast Beef Sliders 8 servings

When it comes to feeding a crowd, there aren’t many easier options than soup and sandwiches. The red pepper soup is creamy without cream and perfect for dunking. This recipe makes 12, which of course you can easily double. But if you have that many people staying with you — well, maybe ordering pizza isn’t such a bad idea.

INGREDIENTS

2 3 1 2 1

onions, peeled and chopped carrots, peeled and chopped parsnip, peeled and chopped cloves garlic, peeled and minced quart chicken or vegetable broth,

red bell peppers, roasted, seeded, deveined, peeled and roughly chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 15 ounce can of chopped tomatoes salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup of white rice fresh basil leaves, for serving scallions, sliced, for serving sour cream, for serving

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350. Place the peppers on a sheet pan and cook for about 30 minutes, until the skin starts to darken and blister. Remove from the oven. Wrap in foil. When the peppers are cool, peel the skins, remove the ribs and seeds and chop In a heavy pot, sauté the onions, carrots and parsnip until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the red peppers, stock, thyme, tomatoes and rice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. (Don’t overfill the blender.) Return soup to the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.

Orange Chutney 8-10 servings

Thanksgiving is like the Superbowl of food dorks. I would be remiss if I didn’t at least provide one idea for the big day. All I can say is that if the Pilgrims had access to oranges, we would all be eating this chutney on turkey day. (Full disclosure: since I am a fan of tradition, I plan on serving cranberry sauce too at my table this year.)

SLIDERS makes 12 sliders 1 1/2 pounds deli roast beef, sliced thinly 12 slider buns such as Martin’s 1/2 pound provolone 1/2 cup French fried onions (optional) such as French’s sliced pickles (optional) melted butter spicy Russian dressing (recipe follows)

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

tablespoons orange zest (from 1/2 orange) 4-6 navel or blood oranges (peel and pith removed), quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced and seeded (about 2-3 cups) 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup red onion, minced 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar kosher salt and ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350. Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with a little bit of the melted butter. Without separating the rolls, place the bottoms in the baking dish. Spread the dressing over the rolls. Place the roast beef, provolone, onions and pickles. Place the tops of the buns over the sliders and brush with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes. For the dressing, combine equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup, add a touch of Dijon mustard to taste and hot sauce to taste.

DIRECTIONS

Because every sandwich needs a close up

In a medium saucepan, combine orange zest and slices, sugar, onion, salt, and 2 tablespoons water; bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oranges collapse and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in red-wine vinegar. Chill until ready to serve. Serve at room temperature.

Mumbai Meatballs 8 servings MEATBALL INGREDIENTS

pounds ground meat (chicken, pork, lamb, beef, turkey, veal or a combination) 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1/2 cup milk 2 eggs 2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons garam masala 1 teaspoon cumin 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 inch piece of ginger, grated 1/4 cup cilantro, minced

SAUCE INGREDIENTS

2 2 4 2 2 2 5 1 1 4 1/2

tablespoons unsalted butter onions, chopped cloves garlic, minced inch piece of ginger, grated teaspoons garam masala teaspoons cumin cardamom pods, bruised cinnamon stick, broken in half bay leaf cloves teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less depending on how hot you like it) 1 28 ounce can whole tomatoes 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes 1 7-ounce container Greek yogurt 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons sugar Mango chutney for serving Red onion relish for serving (recipe follows) Cucumber Raita (recipe follows)

DIRECTIONS FOR THE MEATBALLS

Preheat oven to 350 In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Do not overmix it. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush the balls with vegetable oil. Bake until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven.

FOR THE SAUCE

Sauté the onions in the butter until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the spices and stir until fragrant, just a minute or two. Add the crushed tomatoes and the whole tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands. Add the yogurt and stir until it’s all combined. Add the salt and the sugar. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for about 30 minutes until all the flavors are melded. Serve with warm naan bread, mango chutney, red onion relish and cucumber raita.

RED ONION RELISH

Combine the juice of 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 chopped red onion in a bowl and mix. Add cayenne pepper to taste and mix through. You can add red coloring for fun.

CUCUMBER RAITA

Combine 2 cups of Greek Yogurt with 1 clove of minced garlic. Grate a seedless cucumber onto a kitchen towel. Sprinkle the cucumber with salt let it sit for 10 minutes and squeeze out excess water. Add cayenne pepper to taste.

Spicy Peanut Brownies 9-12 brownies Since you are probably knee deep in pie baking, here is an easy dessert. Buy a box of brownie mix. (Ghirardelli is my favorite.)

LOCAL PRIDE, RICH HISTORY AND A TRADITION OF VIBRANT STORYTELLING MAKE THE OLDEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES A MUST-VISIT DESTINATION

St. Augustine PHOTOS AND STORY BY BARIS VON COBURG

t. Augustine: the oldest city in the United States. Traveling through this marvelously historic city is a journey through time and history — going back to the earliest beginnings of the discovery of America and the very first footsteps of Europeans on the continent. While Christopher Columbus is widely accredited for discovering America, it is believed in fact, to be Ponce de Leon, who was the first to officially discover Florida in 1493 and claim it for Spain. St. Augustine itself was founded in 1565 by the Spanish conquistador Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, making it the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European origin in the contiguous United States.

Early Beginnings

As one takes their first footsteps into downtown St. Augustine, the European heritage, history and influence can be seen and felt everywhere. The old brick roads, narrow alleyways and passages, quaint houses, churches, chapels and other historic landmarks greet you upon first sight. The city is a time-capsule of the nation’s oldest colonial influences, and the city has

preserved that capsule well. Much of the city’s earliest architecture and infrastructure have remained intact, and impressively so, in a cohesive manner. St. Augustine works hard to maintain its history and cultural heritage. The city achieves this by having in place strict regulations when it comes to exerting any changes to existing buildings, landmarks or other objects of historic value. In tandem with the historic architectural review board (HARB), the goal is to ensure preservation of historic property in the city

as well as maintain the visual facade of property to reflect that history. This also applies to hotels, inns, restaurants, shops and businesses that occupy space in the city. This ongoing mission of the municipality has earned it its praise for maintaining Florida’s oldtown charm and rich cultural heritage. You will be hard pressed to find any major corporations tainting the city. Chain organizations are a relatively rare sight here. Rather, you will mostly find individual shopkeepers, restauranteurs, innkeepers, family businesses – St. Augustine is a town where the proverbial mom and pop store, the individual business owners still thrive. Their success is a silent, yet solid statement to the big corporations. It’s a boon to the small business owner and delivers a surf of fresh air from the world’s accustomed globalized corporations. Not the big chain hotels flourish here, but rather the more intimate inn or the bed and breakfast is the lodging of choice for many travelers here.

Age & Beauty

A visit to the oldest city of America merits a visit to the city’s oldest inn. Built in 1791, the St. Francis Inn has

been a lodging accommodation since 1845. Located on the picturesque St. George street, the Inn seeks to deliver an experience of old city charm elevated by modern comforts that meet the expectations of today’s discerning traveler. Owned and operated by Joe and Margaret Finnegan, who took the Inn over

CLOCKWISE An antique canon in the Colonial Quarter; The lobby of the Lighter Museum, formerly Hotel Alcazar; City Baptist Church; Dining hall of the former Ponce de Leon Hotel; The former Hotel Alcazar, now Lighter Museum; Local shop near St. Augustine’s old prison

in 1985, it abides by the same regulations as private domiciles for presevering its history, something that the Finnegans: “Hold very, very dearly.” The St. Francis Inn is listed in several of the nation’s most discerning registries of highend inns and bed and breakfasts. It is also the only lodging to be listed by National Geographic Travel as “the place to stay” in St. Augustine. While my stay at the Inn was unquestionably reflective of the accolades it has earned, it was the little things, the gestures and extras, which remained with me most profoundly. A warm greeting at the door, a piece of homemade dessert after a long day trekking through town or the perfect restaurant recommendation. It was this engaging, personalized care from the Finnegans that made the experience outstanding. And while welcoming guests may be one of the simplest aspects of great hospitality, true human warmth is not something that can be faked. This friendly human touch recurs consistently in St. Augustine. The majority of inns, restaurants and shops are owned and operated by proud locals. The famed St. George’s pedestrian area is dotted with small restaurants, coffee bars, little shops and art galleries. Similarly to the inns, many of the restaurants are situated in historic buildings that have been around for hundreds of years — a true throwback to days gone past. Exploration is exciting. Diversity of establishments, refreshing. Hours can be spent easily on just one small street. And there are very few intrusions to this identity of local entrepreneurship. Whatever establishment it is you choose to enter, chances are high you will be greeted by the owners, happy to strike up a conversation and tell you stories about St. Augustine. And it is exactly that which shines through the most while adventuring in St. Augustine — the local people and their pride for the city. The bar is set high. And it shows.

Four Ways Ahead

From St. George Street, the “Plaza de La Constitution,” St. Augustine’s main square, is but a stone’s throw away. The square is home to multiple monuments and statues that pay homage to the square’s rich and diverse history. Its strategic location ensures that any direction you choose to wander will lead you to an area worth exploration. Directly east, the bridge of Lions looms — offering beautiful views of the bay and Matanzas River. Along the waterway, there is a restaurant and local staple, O.C Whites. Located in one of the oldest buildings in the city, it is a local hotspot for seafood and craft beer. Further exploration along the seawall will eventually bring you upon another famed dining establishment, the Raintree, which is an impressively restored colonial Victorian estate dating back to 1879. The Raintree is another delightfully historic building to experience the feel of the city in, while enjoying fine dining, both in- and outdoors. Look West and you will see towering what used to

be the legendary Ponce de Leon hotel. An architectural wonder of its time, it was legendary Henry Flagler’s first hotel and today is the home of Flagler College. Directly across the street is the equally revolutionary Alcazar hotel, also built by Henry Flagler. Today, the Alcazar is home to the Lighter museum, which houses an impressive collection of 19th century antiques and art, as well as Café Alcazar, a restaurant located inside the old indoor-pool of the former historic hotel. Head South and you can venture the city’s oldest street, Aviles street. With some of the oldest remaining colonial houses, it takes you even further back in time. Here too, restaurants, art galleries and cafés line the narrow brick road and time-gone facade. Stay the course and you will find yourself in the historic district. For the most part residential, it is street after street of colonial Spanish and Victorian properties. This is also where you will find legendary Lincolnville — one of the first areas in the South where free black folk were able to settle after the American Civil War. In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited

Lincolnville during the height of the civil rights movement. St. Augustine’s Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. is one of only two in the nation that Dr. King Jr. actually visited in person. North of the plaza, you will find the Castillo de San Marcos, a fort built by the Spanish to repel invaders — particularly British aggressors during the AngloSpanish war. The base of the fort’s walls are built from crushed seashells called “coquina,” which had the remarkable ability to withstand and absorb canon shots. Attacks on the fort were quite futile and the impressive structure still stands today. Just across the street from the fort, the colonial quarter can be found. An outdoor museum depicts

LEFT The Wilson House, one of the accommodations at the St. Francis Inn

how the earliest colonials lived their lives here. With canon and musket fire demonstrations, authentic blacksmithing and old colonial houses as they were in the 1500’s, the quarter paints a detailed picture of how life was in the earliest days of Spanish Florida. Volunteering in the quarter as a tour guide is historian and Stanford PhD graduate Chad Light. It is not every day you get a museum tour from a forensic anthropologist about human colonial history. Mr. Light is another testament to the pride and commitment of the people in this unique city. While St. Augustine is gorgeous to explore on foot, a hop-on, hop-off trolley service operates here seven days a week. Old Town Trolley provides the means to see the entire city, and its more hidden parts, comfortably. The trolley operators function as both drivers, and knowledgeable tour guides.

Beyond City Walls

Despite the incredible number of things to experience at the core of the city, St. Augustine stretches out far beyond its downtown and historic areas. The Matanzas river and bay give visitors the opportunity to see St. Augustine from the water. The river and the bay are teeming with wildlife. Many indigenous bird species and rare forms of crustaceans are found here. The specific type of seashells used for the coquina to build the Castillo de San Marcos can only be found a few places around the world, but are abundant here. Numerous pods of dolphin patrol the river. There is a lot of marine wildlife research that takes place here due to the area’s unique ecosystem. Eco tours of St. Augustine is an organization that provides non-intrusive educational tours of the river and bay of St. Augustine. Their goal is to provide wildlife tours of the surrounding coast while ensuring conservation and protection of the natural habitat.

Going out on a boat with Captain Zach McKenna, who has an academic background in marine studies, is a treat. Through an easy-to-follow narrative, McKenna gives a comprehensive insight of the local wildlife, discusses the marine research he is involved with and recounts historical moments on the waters surrounding St. Augustine. The boat ride is thrilling and fast at times, yet smooth. And Captain Zach ensures it all happens with wind in your hair and a smile on your face. On the other side of the Matanzas River lies the final frontier of land to the east before the Atlantic Ocean — Anastasia Island. Home to Anastasia State Park, the lighthouse, maritime museum and famous zoological alligator park, there is much that warrants a visit to the island. Particularly the zoological farm where visitors can experience exotic wildlife, not just from Florida, but from all over the world including Komodo dragons, giant tortoises, hundreds of alligators and crocodiles, exotic birds, venomous snakes and amphibians. Even the prehistoric skull fossil of the Sarchosuchus, one of the largest crocodilian species to have ever lived, weighing up to 20,000 pounds, can be seen here. Guests can also watch live as a zookeeper feeds hundreds of eager alligators in the swamp. On the island too, you can experience some fantastic dining opportunities. “Amici’s,” ran for 35 years by Sicilian siblings, Vito and Benedetta, is a true authentic representation of rustic Italian and Sicilian cuisine. The grilled swordfish and Pasta Alla Norma are stand-out dishes.

End of the Line

Continue the journey east and St. Augustine beach will be your destination. An open and vast beach stretches the island’s coast. The beautifully white and soft sand entices — a perfect chance for some much-earned relaxation. This is the end of the line. In front of you only the ocean and horizon loom. Behind you St. Augustine and everything you have seen. It makes for a very fitting final setting for the conclusion of your journey, and a chance to contemplate and reflect on your trip. Untouched and unspoiled by the bustling outside world, St. Augustine remains true to itself. The experience feels authentic, and the sensations of discovery and exploration, real. Its history will leave you feeling enriched. The welcoming care and openness of the St. Augustinians ensure you are tapped more deeply into your journey. And as you overlook the ocean on Anastasia Island’s beach, the trip will leave you wondering, why aren’t more places just right like this? Y

Lighthouse Point, Pompano!, and Deerfield Beach! are three community magazines. Collectively, the publications have a distribution of 21,000 with 60,000 readers. The complimentary magazines are distributed at hotels, retail centers, professional offices and dining establishments.

The goal of our magazines is to create a sense of community while sharing neighborhood news, featuring local people and informing readers about regional events.

OUR PRIORITIES

AROUND THE POINT CITY BEAT

In addition to covering fun local stories about interesting people, exciting adventures, beautiful homes, awesome restaurants and special events, we also cover topics of national importance through a local lens. For example, reporter DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU has done a number of investigative features. One examined the effect of the opioid epidemic on Broward County. This year, she assessed Broward County’s readiness for the “Silver Tsunami” — a mass influx of senior citizens aging over 85 in the next 12 years. And in another edition, she explored DACA by introducing readers to Juliana, the former Pompano Beach High School homecoming queen who, while growing up in Lighthouse Point was an undocumented immigrant. The magazines also cover hyper-local news. Our intrepid City Beat reporter, MARIE PULEO, has diligently covered city issues in Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach, covering everything I S B ROWA R D R E A DY ?

A newly-released comprehensive study examines Broward County’s readiness for a mass influx of elderly residents by 2030. Long waiting lists for elderly services, holes in the safety net, a lack of coordination between service providers, isolation and a poor perception of seniors were all key areas of concern raised by the study. Lighthouse Point magazine digs into the study’s findings. BY DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU

F) The proposed

BY MARIE PULEO

PROCESS FOR OBTAINING CITY AND COUNTY APPROVALS

Plans for major redevelopment of the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club continue to move forward, but there are still many steps to take in the process of obtaining all the necessary approvals from the city and county. Terry Paterson, developer and part owner of the club, must first get approval for a land use plan amendment, which is needed for rezoning purposes. Paterson is requesting an amendment of 3.4 gross acres of the yacht club property from “commercial recreation” to “multifamily” residential, in order to build 33 three-story luxury townhomes lining the waterfront. Profits from the sale of the townhomes would be used to subsidize the cost to build a state-of-the-art yacht club facility, which would include a new 35,000-square-foot clubhouse. The estimated expense for the development of the club and land is $32 million. The developer has said that he hopes to break ground for the new clubhouse by mid-2019. According to city officials, the process for obtaining the necessary approvals could take nine months to a year, not including building permits.

LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT

01) LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT

First Steps July 10 - Lighthouse Point Yacht Club Investments, an entity controlled by Paterson, submitted an application to the City for a land use plan amendment, along with a conceptual site plan. They were the first formal documents submitted to the City concerning the yacht club’s redevelopment plans. Aug. 14 - Development Review Committee Meeting. The proposed land use plan amendment and conceptual site plan were reviewed by the city administrator, assistant city attorney, city engineer, city planners, police chief, fire chief, public works director, and civil and traffic engineering consultants. City staff conveyed their comments and concerns to the developer, who was present.

Aug. 28 - Public workshop at City Hall. The City Commission and members of the Planning and Zoning Board discussed the proposed land use plan amendment and the conceptual site plan. The developer presented substantial revisions to the plans based on comments from City staff at the Development Review Committee meeting on Aug. 14. The revised plans were not formally submitted to the City, and were seen for the first time at the workshop. There were still concerns about a number of issues, including density, parking, limited access for emergency vehicles and architectural style. The developer said he would submit revised plans to the city in the coming weeks.

amendment will come back to the City Commission for a second and final vote, with a public hearing.

POSSIBLE CODE CHANGES

Next Steps A) Another Development Review Committee meeting will take place to review the revised land use plan amendment request and conceptual site plan submitted to the City by the developer.

B) Another public workshop will be scheduled before the proposed land use plan amendment and conceptual site plan are considered at a Planning and Zoning Board meeting.

C) The Planning and Zoning Board will formally consider the revised land use plan amendment and conceptual site plan. The meeting will include a public hearing (only one is required for the Planning and Zoning Board). The Board will make a recommendation to the City Commission in favor of or against the land use change. The Planning and Zoning Board could ask the developer to make further revisions to the plans, which would come back to the Board for review, before it makes a recommendation to the City Commission.

REZONING THE PROPERTY

D) The City Commission will vote on the proposed land use plan amendment. A public hearing will take place before the vote.

E) The proposed amendment will be sent to the Broward County Planning Council for a hearing, with a recommendation for approval, denial or modification. It will then be reviewed by the Broward County Commission.

CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR THREE-STORY TOWNHOMES

02) REZONING THE PROPERTY

After the land use plan amendment process is completed, the 3.4 acres of the yacht club property that were changed from “commercial recreation” to “multifamily” residential must be rezoned from B-2A (“planned business district”) to RM-16 (“four-family residential district”). Rezoning is done by ordinance.

SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND POSSIBLE VARIANCES IF CITY CODE IS NOT CHANGED

A) The Planning and Zoning Board will review the request and make a recommendation to the City Commission. The meeting includes a public hearing.

B) The City Commission will vote twice, at two separate meetings, each with a public hearing.

03) POSSIBLE CODE CHANGES

In the current redevelopment plans for the yacht club, there are numerous items that don’t meet the city’s code of ordinances, such as the parking, dock width and amount of previous space. The developer could request code changes, which are made by ordinance.

A) The Planning and Zoning Board would review the possible code changes at one of its meetings, and then make a recommendation to the City Commission. The meeting would include a public hearing.

B) The City Commission would vote twice on any proposed code changes, at two separate meetings, each with a public hearing.

04) CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR THREE-STORY TOWNHOMES

Three-story townhomes require approval from the Planning and Zoning Board. They are allowed only if they meet certain conditions in the city’s code, as well as other conditions the Planning and Zoning Board can set. Conditional use approval would take place before the final site plan is approved, but both can be done at the same meeting.

to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. Any waterrelated variances would also need to be reviewed by the Marine Advisory Board.

B) Another Development Review Committee meeting will take place to review the final site plan before it goes to the Planning and Zoning Board, the Marine Advisory Board and the Community Appearance Board.

C) The final site plan will be reviewed at separate meetings of the Marine Advisory Board and the Community Appearance Board, and then the Planning and Zoning Board, each with a public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Board is the body that gives final approval of the site plan, unless the decision is appealed to the City Commission by the developer. The Planning and Zoning Board could approve the final site plan and possible variances at the same meeting as the conditional use approval. Generally, the final site plan does not go before the City Commission unless the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board is appealed, but due to the magnitude of the project, the Commission will most likely want to review it.

HONORS VICTIMS & CELEBRATES COMMUNITY UNITY

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. I’m a swimmer and I swam with one of the kids that passed…I’ve been doing pretty good. I’ve been strong, but I just want to help people. 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.

O just bring something that brings happiness and brings people out together on a common ground?’” she said. 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

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

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 >>>

IN THE WAKE OF THE TRAGEDY IN PARKLAND, POMPANO BEACH, ALONG WITH OTHER CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY, IS TAKING STEPS TO CONTROL GUNS. THE QUESTION IS...

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 Florida in decades. “It’s an example to the entire country that government can, and has, moved The students of fast,” said Scott. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, making their voices heard, were the catalyst in bringing about Since the mass shooting, the change. Pompano Beach city officials have been working together to prevent an event like the one that unfolded in Parkland from happening again. by MARIE PULEO

In addition, any unanimously passed a resolution urging the state of Florida, Gov.

Any public from schools. 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.” “It’s very difficult to be handcuffed by the law, so we’re looking at how to challenge it,” said Pompano Beach City Attorney Mark Berman. 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 The 15-page resolution was sent by the Pompano Beach 13 for the City of Pompano Beach to join the lawsuit. The city clerk to President Donald Trump, Gov. Rick Scott, the resolution passed with a vote of X:X.

“It’s very difficult to be handcuffed by the law, so we’re looking at how to challenge it,” — Pompano Beach City Attorney Mark Berman

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

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 recycled

(National Geographic, 2017)

n July 2, the contract between the recycling processor Southern Waste Systems (also known as Sun Recycling) and 17 South Florida municipalities, including the city of Deerfield Beach, expired. In January, Waste Management Inc. had purchased some assets from Sun Recycling/ Southern Waste Systems, which had been providing trash hauling and recycling services in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. Though the acquisition received antitrust clearance from the Justice Department in December, the purchase left Waste Management Inc. with little competition in the local marketplace. In negotiating new contracts with the 17 South Florida cities up for renewal, Waste Management’s prices reportedly rose from $51.15 to $96 dollars per ton, nearly doubling recycling expenses. In Deerfield Beach, the increase would have raised the total price by $800,000 a year. In response to Waste Management’s new contract offers, 15 of the cities up for renewal accepted the price increase. Only two,

would temporarily suspend all recycling programs until a new contract could be negotiated or another solution could be determined. On Aug. 16, the Deerfield Beach City Commission approved a new contract with Waste Management, which will restart the city’s recycling program on Sept 3. Until then, all materials placed in blue recycling bins will be processed as trash. The new contract still includes a fee of $96 per ton, but according to Rebecca Medina-Stewart, the City’s Director of Public Affairs and Marketing, includes other important changes, such as: the flexibility to make changes to residential curbside recycling program as well as commercial and multi-family dumpster service; the flexibility to remove material streams based

“We are going to have to rethink a lot things regarding recycling. How we collect it, what we do with it, how we charge our residents for the service,” “Reducing household waste, and educating the public on what to do with their recycling is our focus. By the time our contract is up in 2022, it could be a whole different situation.” — Beth Dubow.

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. Meanwhile, on March 7, the Florida House in a close vote passed a school safety package that includes the first notable gun control measures in Florida in more than 20 years. Two days later, Gov. Rick Scott, surrounded by family members of students killed in the Parkland shooting, signed the bill into law.

“I’m here to cover the aftermath of the shooting in Parkland. 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.”

Travel with Insider Excursions!

Insider Excursions, powered by Point Publishing, is our new travel venture! We are inviting our readers on insider trips to adventurous and relevant destinations around the world. Guests will partake in exclusive interviews with important people and participate in exciting travel activities while creating media content to be featured in our magazines. Following the trips, participants will see their adventure captured in print, online and on social media.

EXPLORE BOGOTA | NOV. 8 -11

Our first trip is four nights in Bogota, Colombia, Nov. 8 - 11. You’re invited! Alongside multiple Bogota-based journalists who will meet our group in Columbia, we will explore Bogota’s culture, history and industries. We will tour a coffee plantation, do a coffee tasting and conduct a live photo shoot at a coffee roaster with a Columbian model. We will tour of the La Candelaria district — Bogota’s vibrant heart, with landmarks like the colonial-era cathedral and neoclassical Capitol flanking Bolivar Plaza. Narrow streets lined with shops selling emeralds and handicrafts lead to cultural hotspots like the Gold Museum (where we will see one of the world’s largest collection of gold artifacts) and Museo Botero (which showcases international art in a colonial mansion). Next we will make the trek via an aerial tramway to the top of Mount Monserrate, a mountaintop offering expansive, panoramic views of the city of Bogota, which is nestled at an elevation of 8,660 feet in the Andes Mountains. Mount Monserratte is the picturesque home to a famous shrine and restaurant, where we will tour and dine.

On another evening we will visit Andrés Carne de Res, an Alice-inWonderland meets Moulin Rouge restaurant with a mind-boggling collection of quirky art and an outdoor discotheque, ranked one of the 50 best restaurants in all of Latin America. Plus, we will take a walking tour of one of the most bustling marketplaces of Bogota — the Paloquemao Market — where visitors can find a remarkable abundance of unique Colombian fruits. Throughout the trip we will stay at the uber-modern, luxurious W Hotel centrally located near embassies, restaurants and boutiques in the upscale Santa Barbara neighborhood 20 minutes from downtown Bogota. Cost is $1,500/per person (based on single occupancy), plus airfare ($300-$500 economy, $800 - $1,300 business class).

Point! Publishing’s photographer Joseph Yerkovich has been a regularly commissioned photographer to capture images of dolphins, whales and tuna off the coast of Costa Rica. In addition, Point! Publishing’s editor Danielle Charbonneau spent three months backpacking throughout Costa Rica. Together, the Insider Excursions team has planned an incredible itinerary that will include activities such as diving with dolphins, hiking a dormant volcano, swimming in a crater lake, zip-lining through the cloud forest in Monteverde, hiking through the rainforest to idyllic waterfalls, observing monkeys in their natural habitat, staying in a tree house (optional) and fully embracing the Costa Rican philosophy “Pura Vida” — the pure life. Learn why Costa Rica is ranked one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly countries on the planet — so much so that it was named the “happiest country in the world” by the Happy Planet Index report, published by the New Economics Foundation. Discover Pura Vida for yourself by joining Insider Excursions on their Costa Rican adventure. Join local Frenchman and hotelier Claude DuBois, general manager of the Wyndham Resort Deerfield Beach, on a four-day, three-night culinary adventure of Quebec City. The city offers a trendy dining scene sourced by the local countryside, mountain wilderness and bordering ocean, which produces incredible seafood, game meats, cheeses, vegetables and fruits. Quebec City chefs utilize this local bounty in creative and stunning ways sure to excite your palate. We will stay at the luxurious Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, which for more than a century has served as Quebec’s City’s iconic castle on a hill. This palatial hotel offers breathtaking views of Old Quebec City’s historic architecture. If you have a foodie’s palate and a taste for the finer things in life, than this trip is for you. The Insider Excursions trip to Belize offers two spectacular parts: land and sea. Known as the epicenter of the ancient Maya world, Belize was once home to more than 2 million Mayas. Sacred temples, pyramids, advanced science, agriculture, mathematics, palaces and awesome structures are their legacy. On land, we will venture into Belize’s dense jungle to go inside Actun Tunichil Muknal (the ATM cave), which leads to an unbelievable archeological site deep inside the cave where the Mayans — believing the cave was a passageway to the underworld — made ceremonial sacrifices. The ATM cave’s “cathedral” boasts fantastical stalactites and stalagmites. We will also canoe some idyllic rivers in the jungle. The second half of our trip to Belize will focus on the sea. We will stay at Ambergris Caye, an island bordering the Belize Barrier Reef. Belize’s Barrier Reef is the second largest in the world, second only to the Great Barrier in Australia. Scuba divers can go deep into Belize’s famous Blue Hole, while snorkelers can enjoy the shallower parts of the reef. At “Shark Ray Alley” both divers and snorkelers can swim with an abundance of nurse sharks and sting rays. In the evening, guests will take a sunset sail in Belize’s aquamarine waters while sipping on rum punch. This trip to the Mile High City (literally and figuratively) is for pot enthusiasts and potential cannabis entrepreneurs looking to understand the business of pot. We will tour some dispensaries, a special bakery and grow house, plus meet with key industry leaders and public officials to explore how legalizing marijuana has changed Denver. If you’re interested in learning how legalization could affect your town, or are interested in learning how you might be able to break into the biz, than this is the trip for you. In addition, Denver offers stunning views of the Rocky Mountains (with the option of taking some beautiful hikes) and has an active downtown dining scene.

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 $$

Casareccio Trattoria Italiana. ITALIAN Wow! What a find. This small but impressive Italian eatery is delightful. We can’t really tell you what to try because the menu changes daily. However, we are willing to bet you will fall in love with this place which feels like it just plopped into Pompano straight from the hills of Tuscany. Reservations are highly recommended. Also, call ahead to see what they are serving. 1386 S Federal Highway, 954-998-3642 $$$ Checkers Old Munchen. GERMAN Sprechen sie Deutsch? You don’t find many German restaurants around town. So when you’re looking for a change in your restaurant rotation, take a trip back to the old country at Checkers Old Munchen. The restaurant’s exposed wood framing is reminiscent of the German half-timbered architectural style and the walls are lined with classic German beer steins. For a traditional German meal, try the wienerschnitzel — it’s divine a lightly breaded veal cutlet sautéed in lemon butter and topped with homemade brown gravy. The spaetzle (German noodles) are a real homemade treat and not to be missed — throw a little of that brown gravy on them and they could be a meal unto themselves. The red cabbage is both classically sweet and sour and there are other side options too including potato dumplings, potato salad and even hot potato salad. As you look around, you can’t help but get the feeling that most of the patrons are returning customers. And the next time we get a hankering for some schnitzel, we know where to go. Imbibe to your hearts content with their wide assortment of German beers. 2209 E. Atlantic Blvd., 954-785-7565 $$ Chef Dee’s. SUSHI • SEAFOOD A small neighborhood place

Staff DINNER

Tuscany on Federal A GEM OF AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN POMPANO BEACH CASARECCIO TRATTORIA ITALIANA 1386 S Federal Highway Pompano Beach 954-998-3642 $$$

The outside facade of Casareccio is deeply misleading — the Italian restaurant is tucked snugly in between a Chilean-American sub shop, a neon-sign psychic and a Polish Deli in a congested dime-store strip mall off Federal Blvd. and SE 14th St. Take one step inside, however, and it is plain to see that Casareccio is a diamond in the rough — an insider’s secret. Instantaneously one is taken by the warm, rustic and inviting atmosphere. Some oldfashioned pasta strainers hang from a wall made entirely of re-claimed wood. The wall opposite is made of chalkboard displaying the day’s menu in friendly, colored chalk. A shelf of homemade Caponata in mason jars sits in front of the cozy, three-seat bar while strings of warm, round bulbs hang like Christmas lights from a woodpaneled ceiling. Exposed brick and corrugated steel details add to Casareccio’s homey feel. The name Casareccio — which means homestyle cooking — evokes this sentiment as well; as do the tee-shirts, which feature the slogan: “Don’t tell Nonna I’m at Casareccio.” (KEEP READING... for full review, visit pointpubs.com/ extra)

2201 is made on the premises — even the desserts. Start with the pygros, a tower of eggplant, potatoes and ground beef topped with a cool yogurt sauce. Finish off with the Greek yogurt mousse, a lightly sweetened cloud with a hint of cocoa and a strawberry sauce to compliment. Table 2201 has a menu full of your Greek favorites without all of the hooplah.

Chef Pasquale’s fervent belief in using fresh ingredients (so fresh some are grown in his own home garden) and authentic Italian imported products is truly is his tradmark. Some of Trattoria Novello’s dishes are derived from Chef Pasquale’s own childhood. While his family is from Southern Italy and much of the Trattoria Novello menu reflects that heritage, Chef Pasquale has intentionally crafted a menu with dishes from all regions of Italy. 2665 W.

Central to the dining room is a large classic sushi bar, displaying the fresh fish offerings. But sushi is only part of their menu. Yakuza has a brilliant selection of Japanese and Thai specialties. We were impressed by the freshness and variety of tastes offered.

Start with the tuna wontons—crispy fried wonton wrappers topped with tuna tartare, seaweed salad, red pepper mayo, wasabi and a hit of sirracha. For a taste of New England with a twist, try the lobster roll. Of course you can’t go wrong with the fresh fish sandwich—ask what the catch of the day is. The fish Reuben is another great sandwich option—just sub in some fresh fish for the pastrami and you’ve got yourself a little healthier version of the classic. All sandwiches come with a side and while French fries are always a delicious option—the restaurant offers a tangy cucumber salad (among other choices) that provides a nice crunch to any sandwich. They are a dog-friendly restaurant. 2830 NE 29th Ave. (at the Lighthouse Point Marina), 954-941-0246 $$

Financial Resolutions for the New Year

TIRES• • TIRES TIRES • •TIRES TIRES TIRES

TIRE STORES

It’s time for New Year’s resolutions. This year, why not make a few financial ones? For starters, resolve to boost your contributions to your retirement plans, such as your IRA and your 401(k). These tax-advantaged accounts can be good options for your retirement savings strategy. Also, try to reduce your debt load. It’s not always easy, but the lower your debt payments, the more money you’ll have available to invest. Here’s another resolution: Build an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, with the money held in a liquid Kilwins Lauderdale By the Sea account. Such a fund will help you avoid dipping into long-term investments for emergencies, like a new furnace or major car repair. Another key resolution: Make sure your protection needs are being met with the proper amounts of life and disability insurance. (954) 267-8991 Finally, resolve not to overreact to market volatility. You’ll help yourself greatly by following an appropriate investment strategy in every market environment. Work to turn these resolutions into realities. Your efforts could pay off well beyond 2014.
