Sunrise Park Idea Boards inspire many local residents
TRACKING DOWN SUCCESS • Summer racing, bright future gives Gulfstream Racing & Casino an edge
Eager to be heard, residents turned out last week for the unveiling of the Sunrise Park Idea Boards, four, four-foot-by-eight-foot blackboards, to collect ideas for park development. Sunrise Park, located on the corner of NE Fifth Street and NE 8th Avenue, was a one-third acre park until the City acquired the two acres to the south. Because of the additional lands, City leaders are asking the residents what they would like in the park. At the unveiling are, from left, Victoria Figueroa, Sara Chirla, Mayor Joy Cooper and Jade Lebel. Each day, Hallandale Beach Parks and Recreation Department members copy all the ideas and erase the boards to allow a new batch of ideas to be included. The boards will be up until late September. Stop by and give the City your thoughts. Every idea is a valid one. This is your park. (Courtesy City of Hallandale Beach Public Relations)

"What's going to happen when the prices get so high, I will not be able to afford coverage." You would be surprised at how many people are running around without any form of insurance. The numbers are so staggering, it seems unlikely that many will be able to afford premiums. Get sick and you will pay every last dollar you have on keeping yourself alive. "The cost of medication and visits to the doctors - along with lifesaving and prolonging procedures would totally wipe most of us out," Cooper admitted. "I keep hearing all about ObamaCare, but is that rea––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBAMACARE, Page 6A
