T
he U.S. Constitution mandates a count of every person living in the United States every ten years. This census doesn’t just include Citizens, it must include every person in the country, including immigrants. It is our duty as residents of our community to make sure that everyone in our family is counted. You have till September 30 to make sure that you and your family are included! If you have not already done so, go to www.2020census.gov to make sure your family is counted. It only takes a couple of minutes and is critical to ensure that South Florida gets its fair share of federal and state resources. The census is also used to determine how many representatives each state gets in Congress. One of the great things about South Florida is our vibrant melting pot of people. It is especially important for immigrants, even undocumented immigrants, to respond to the census. In the past, many South Floridians have avoided the census because they were scared. Have no fear. Immigration officials are prohibited by law from using the data collected for any purpose other than the count. Stand up and be counted before its too late!

Hollywood Has More Than Its Share of COVID-19 Cases BY TERRY JAILLET
R
esidents of Hollywod have tested positive for COVID-19 at more than twice the rate of greater Broward County, according to an analysis conducted by Our City. Data from the group Florida COVID Action was analyzed in conjunction with U.S. Census data to determine population positive rates for each city in Broward County. 12,709 Hollywood residents have tested positive for COVID-19 as of August 16th. This represents about 18% of the total reported positive test results in Broward County, while the city only accounts for 8% of the population. According to the site, 70,612 Broward residents have tested positive thus far. The large coastal cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pompano Beach were joined by Weston with above-average positive cases. Pembroke Pines, Parkland, Cooper City and Plantation have the lowest rates of positive cases according to the data. It is unclear why the infection rate varius for neighboring communities. Very little analysis has been done on the differences in disease spread at the local level. Testing rates, differing working environments and how strictly social distancing guidelines are adhered to are all believed to be contributors to the variances. School Reopening It is also unclear how the reopening of school will impact the spread of the disease. Recent outbreaks at the University of Notre Dame and the University of North Carolina have some experts concerned that
the new school year will reignite the spread. Broward County Public Schools, Miami Dade County, and Palme Beach County all began the school year with students studying remotely while South Florida private schools have implemented a myriad of safety protocols in an effort to limit the spread of the virus. Trends In Cases, Hospitalizations The trend in reported cases across Broward County is on a positive trend. After daily counts have accelerated for eight consecutive weeks, the number of newly reported positive test results has
declined over the past three weeks. The number of Broward residents hospitalized with COVID has also declined in recent weeks. Hospitalizations appear to have peaked mid-July. Public health experts are quick to caution recent results won’t get us ‘back to normal’ any time soon. National Institute of Health Director, Dr. Anthony Fauci, summed up our situation. “If ‘back to normal’ means acting like there never was a coronavirus problem, I don’t think that is going to happen until we have widespread adoption of a vaccine.”

Winterfest 2020 Boat Parade is The Latest Casualty of COVID-19 BY JON DUKA
The 2020 Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade slated for Saturday, Dec. 12, has been canceled due to ongoing coronavirus concerns. The announcement of the cancellation followed a unanimous vote of the Winterfest Board of Directors to forego the 2020 boat parade. Related Winterfest live events will also be canceled this year. Organizers of the annual holiday celebration, one of the nation’s most popular community events, are instead focusing on the 50th Anniversary Year Boat Parade event in December of 2021. The first Winterfest Boat Parade took place in December 1971. “Our team, partners, and community supporters were very hopeful for the traditional holiday boat parade to continue in December,” said Lisa Scott-Founds, President and CEO of Winterfest, Inc. “This was a very difficult decision, but we are being proactive and socially responsible for the health and safety of our community. That is our top priority.” Television Special Still Planned for this December In addition to the 50th Anniversary events in 2021, organizers will concentrate this year on the annual television special focusing on the Best of the Parade with a “Home for the Holidays” theme. The 2020 television special, produced by WSVN Channel 7, will blend the retrospect and a combination of special surprises. The television special scheduled to air in December will bring the best of the best of decorated boats into the comfort of viewers’ homes. The special will air again on Christmas and New Year’s
14 SEPTEMBER 2020 | OURCITYMEDIA.COM
Day along with additional airings on Fox Sports Sun. The “Home for the Holidays,” message will envelop a three-month campaign of virtual events leading up to the television show, including passive decorating entries of homes, businesses, boats, and docks. “We are bringing a hometown feel of family, friends, and parade partners to this year’s special,” said Lisa Scott-Founds. “Winterfest 2020 is a reflection of our community’s heart and hope.” Winterfest is developing new simulated experiences with a touch of tradition such as picking this year’s Jr. Captain with the Winterfest Foundation, a Coloring Competition, Cookies with Santa, Video Greetings, Flashbacks of Fan Favorite Entries, and Celebrity Grand marshals along with a few local sightings of the Parade’s beloved mascot “Skippy” and Santa’s Elves. Winterfest’s annual online auction promises to be one of the largest holiday shopping experiences with over 250 items from jewelry, travel, dinners, and more. For more information as Winterfest builds with partner opportunities focusing on this year’s television special and the 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2021, contact the office at info@winterfestparade.com or call 954-767-0686.

Treating Everyone Right: CORA PHYSICAL THERAPY Opens Newest Location in the Heart of Hollywood BY JON DUKA
A
nyone who has ever sprained an ankle, been injured in an auto accident, or recovered from major surgery knows the impact that physical therapy can have on a life. Getting your body back to where it once was is an incredible gift. That is why Hollywood is excited to welcome leading national physical therapy provider, CORA Physical Therapy. The new outpatient physical therapy clinic offers treatment for general orthopedic and sports injuries, pre-and post-operative care, vertigo and balance disorders, sports medicine evaluation and treatment, and workers’ compensation injuries and injury prevention. No Referral Required CORA Physical Therapy accepts patients through direct access—no referral required—for people calling or walking into the clinic, as well as through physician referrals. CORA is one of the top outpatient physical therapy providers in the country, with 4,000+ insurance plans accepted and payment options for patients without insurance. Telehealth As an option for patients who cannot come into the clinic, CORA also offers telehealth visits and therapy in the home to ensure continuity of treatment. “Telehealth gives you the ability to stay connected remotely and in realtime with a CORA clinician at a time when visits to clinics may not be an option,” said Clinic Manager Claudia Whiteis. “It’s a sense of control and choice over your health in your home environment with highly-trained clinicians at your fingertips!” Locally-Focused Clinic, Backed by a National Team CORA began in 1998 in Lima, OH. The company got its start with three clinics in Florida, and until about five years ago, that’s where most of its clinics have been located. Through rapid growth and expansion, the company now operates more than 215 clinics in nine states. In fact, there are 10 locations in Broward County alone. The scope of CORA’s network of sites allows them to offer the complete spectrum of outpatient services. Patients with orthopedic problems,

POSITIVE PARENTING
Make Expectations Realistic BY IVIS MATEOS
N
ow it’s been a couple weeks since school began for some of our students while others are just getting ready to take off with the new year. The world as we knew it is somewhat gone and now we are all learning to adapt to different ways and opportunities to learn and educate our children. Perhaps you are one of the families that choose to take your child back to on-campus learning and then there are others that have no choice but to have their child attend school virtually from home. In either case we are all challenged to change the ways we were used to. Change is not always a bad thing. We need to value each chapter for its strengths and weaknesses and make the best out of it for the sake of our own, and our children’s mental health. Children study their surroundings, and will adapt their behavior and methods as they are guided with kindness and sternness. Children mimic what the adults are expressing around them. Therefore, it’s important that we become flexible throughout this new process in order to diminish stress and anxiety. Use simple language to explain the changes we are going through, for example; “today we get to spend time with your teacher online doing fun things & learning” or “when class is over we will go out for a fun walk”. For the students going to school, it’s also best to prepare them and be honest about the changes in safety procedures. Reassure the child that they will be safe at school and explain they can do things like wash their hands often, wear a mask and keep themselves at a safe distance when cough-

ing or sneezing to keep everyone healthy. Encourage your children to ask questions about their concerns and also about their experiences and reassure them everything is going to be alright. Our expert in education and preschool director, Ms. Molly Brousseau, believes “children are not given enough credit for what they truly understand. Even at an early age, you need to remember that the only knowledge the child is obtaining is that of what is explained and shown to them by the adults in their lives.” And most importantly mom and dad, don’t forget that we are all in this together and we can work to make the process smoother and take every experience as an opportunity to learn and become a better and stronger community. n Ivis Mateos is a mother of two boys and has more than 24 years combined experience in educational consulting and management.

Don’t Kit-Nap Kittens! A Kitten’s Best Chance of Survival Is With Its Mom
S
outh Florida shelters are taking to social media with a unified message, making a plea to the community; please Don’t Kit-Nap the Kittens! Every year shelters nationwide brace themselves for “kitten season,” and South Florida shelters receive thousands of kittens in the spring and summer months. When people find kittens outdoors without their mom, their first instinct may be to bring them inside or rush them to an animal shelter. Now in the peak of kitten season, Animal shelters throughout Broward warn well intention, good Samaritans that picking up found litters of kittens may be hurting them more than helping them. Research shows, when kittens are separated from their mother, their chances of survival drop significantly. In most cases, newborn litters of kittens don’t need human intervention and, in fact, taking the kittens is inadvertently creating orphaned kittens. The best thing is to keep the mother and kittens together to ensure the kittens’ best chances of survival, until the kittens are eating on their own and can be safely removed for socialization and adoption. What should you do when you find a litter of kittens? ▸ Do not interfere with the kittens as it may cause stress to the mother. If you really want to help, you can provide some food and water for the mother,
placed a good distance from the nest. ▸ If you don’t see mom around, observe the kittens from a distance. The mother may be out looking for food, but she will most likely return. ▸ If the kittens are in immediate danger, like under a car or in a flooded area, find a safe place nearby to move them, but make sure they’re still close enough for their mother to find them. ▸ If you have observed the kittens for 24 hours and are sure that the mother isn’t returning, you may pick them up and care for them. Newborn kittens need special care. ▸ If the mother comes back and is friendly, wait until the kittens are 2 pounds or 2 months old before bringing them and their mom to a veterinarian or to the Animal Services’ Pet Adoption and Protection Center to be vaccinated and spayed or neutered. What happens if newborn kittens are brought into the shelter without their mother? Kittens under four weeks of age need round the clock care which most shelters are not equipped to provide. Shelters rely on volunteer foster programs to supplement the care and needs of these newborn kittens. Unfortunately, when babies are separated from their moms it threatens their ability to thrive and survive, which is more reason to leave kittens with their mom. Orphaned kittens need to be bottle fed with special formula every two to three hours, then stimulated to eliminate, cleaned, and kept warm because at such a young age they cannot regulate their body temperature. Most shelters will provide you with everything needed to care for the newborn kittens. Once the foster kitten is old enough to transition to solid food and be spayed or neutered, that is at about 2-months-old or 2 pounds in weight, foster volunteers can bring the kittens back to the shelter so they can be placed up for adoption and find their forever homes. n For more information on how you can help kittens contact: Lisa Mendheim Broward County Animal Care 2400 SW 42nd St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 954-359-1010

THE DONOWAY CENTER NEW HOPE FOR PANCREATIC CANCER PATIENTS
Robert B. Donoway, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.S.S.O. Diplomate American Board of Surgery Diplomate, Society of Surgical Oncology Former Medical Director Memorial Cancer Center Medical Director, Atlas Oncology: Institute for Pancreatic Cancer IRE/NanoKnife Ablation
Patients diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer have few treatment options. However, a new procedure called Irreversible Electroporation or IRE for short has changed that for many patients who are seeing a doubling and tripling of their life expectancies. Dr. Robert Donoway, who has one of the largest International experiences for performing this procedure on the pancreas and liver is a Hollywood based, Sloan Kettering trained Pancreatic Surgical Oncologist, and former medical director of two of the local cancer programs remains among a very small handful of Pancreatic surgeons who perform the procedure which is done in the operating room as an outpatient. During the procedure, Dr. Donoway places fine needle probes under direct ultrasound guidance into and around the pancreatic tumor while carefully avoiding critical structures. High voltage current up to 3000 volts is then delivered in 90-microsecond pulses synchronized with the patient’s heart rhythm to avoid any cardiac problems. The pulses destroy the cancer cell membranes which then causes the tumor to die and be absorbed by the body. The average procedure lasts approximately 1-2 hours and the patients may be discharged the following day. A brief recovery means the patient can start chemotherapy and radiation that much sooner. Dr. Donoway is participating in several clinical studies identifying the best chemotherapy and immunotherapies to be used along with IRE. Dr. Donoway states, “The results so far have been very encouraging and we have begun using it for other select cancers. The longest survivors are now out over 5 years and without evidence of cancer recurrence. In the past, without IRE they would have been likely to have only lived a year and so this technique opens the whole new avenue for treating those eligible patients in a more targeted fashion.” For more information about Dr. Donoway and the Pancreatic-IRE/NanoKnife Program and clinical trials call 305-682-1995 and visit www.AtlasOncology.com

South Broward High School Principal Makes a Splash on the First Day of School BY JON DUKA
S
outh Broward High School principal Patricia Brown kicked off the year’s virtual learning with a splash. She released a “welcome back to school” video on Twitter and the South Broward High’s website that encouraged students and faculty alike to jump right in. At the conclusion of the short spot, she did just that, jumping into a pool to symbolize the effort she would like to see from everyone. “We are back in business, Bulldogs!” exclaimed the enthusiastic educator, “We are so excited to have our Bulldogs back no matter what format we are in.” This year’s first day of school was unlike any other. Students fired up laptops, PCs, smartphones, and ipads across Broward County on Wednesday, August 18th. Broward County students used several webbased apps to begin the school year. Many students were familiar with Canvas, a platform the district has been using for several years; however, the kick-off did not go off without a hitch. Widespread issues were reported early on, as students adapted to the Microsoft Teams platform that the school system implemented for the first time this semester. Students and teachers worked out most of the kinks by mid-afternoon, however.

At the conclusion of the day, Broward County Schools Superintendent Robert W. Runcie held a press conference to discuss the successes and learning points of the unique first-day. He immediately addressed the technology challenges students faced. The school system managed more than 260,000 active users during the day. “For issues with technology, parents are encouraged to call their local school or the recently set up technology hotline at 754-3210659,” commented Runcie. The parent response to the first day was mixed. “I was pleasantly surprised by how things went,” commented Hollywood mom, Christy Foreman, “I have a child in high school and one in middle school. There were hiccups along the way, but both managed to engage with their teachers in every subject.” When asked about students returning to school, Dr. Muncie stated that, if current trends continue, he is optimistic about getting students back in schools in some manner by the end of the year.
