Turning Up The Heat This Summer
Dangerous Temperatures & High Humidity Have Locals Running For Cover & Hydration By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com As Alicia Rey held an umbrella over her head, walking along Hollywood Boulevard on Saturday morning, she could hardly believe the heat. Okay, we do live in south Florida, and hot weather is always expected, but when we get these patterns where its 100 degrees - with high humidity - it gives the new meaning of “amazingly hot.” “The very fact that it’s before noon and it ‘feels
like the temperature is 90, should tell you that this is going to be one of those days,” Rey said. “I know that we have to be prepared - and that you do as much as possible, but there is no way to prepare for this weather.” As many look to stay indoors throughout the summer - there are those like Ricky Williams who just cannot escape this heat, heavy rains and lightning and the end of the day humidity. “I have a landscaping business, and as much as
we try to start before 6 a.m. most days, we have bills to pay and have to work well into the heat of the day,” Williams pointed out. “It comes down to being like an athlete. You have to hydrate the night before and continue to pour liquids into your body all day.” In addition, the clothing you wear makes a major difference as well, and being exposed to the intense sun throughout the course of a day Heat, Page 7A

The Shops At Dania Pointe: The Future Will Be Here
By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com Dania Beach - You can see it every day as you ride around the City. The face of Dania Beach is changing - and yes that is a good thing. A very good thing. With the old time charm still very much in place in
many areas, this community is now becoming a destination as well as home to so many. With new hotels and restaurants - along with residential communities - popping up all the time, this is certainly NOT the Dania Beach that many have known for decades. “I love what’s going on around us,” Mary Tate-
Walker said. “A business owner here in Dania Beach for three years and this is why we came here. I can see things starting to take shape.” From the beaches right through to where I-95 serves as a gateway, this community has continued to
