TIME TO GET A JOB! People Are Running Out of Excuses - This Is The Time To Go To Work
By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com Say what you want about this administration or any of the others who have had business first as a platform - but it’s really
working - in a big way. Unemployment is NOT a Democratic, Republican or any other political party idea. It is all of us - and while the “hatred’ goes down in Washington
and everywhere else in this world - the reality is that more jobs are available at this time than the past three years combined. Citing statistics and
going back and forth is not the way this is all measured. What we know is more area companies are looking for employees. There are more job fairs being held through-
out south Florida, and that points to the economy at least having a heartbeat. Remember, if you worry about the economy in Minnesota or Oregon,
it’s not going to do you any good on Hollywood Boulevard, Sunny Isles Beach or along A1A. What happens locally is what it’s all about. “There are so many ways to look at the economy - at any time in history,” said Dr. Aileen Morales, who holds a PHD in Economic Development. “There has never been a defined across the board, everyone is rich feeling. While we are looking at many who are happy that their world is thriving, there are millions still living in poverty - not having the luxury to live paycheck to paycheck.” While many analysts will tell you their version of what’s going on, it does come down to the reality and there are a number of businesses in south Florida who have benefitted in a great way. Today’s (Thursday) Jobs and Career Fair at the Hallandale Beach Cultural Community Center (410 SE 3rd Street) from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.,

Micky Dolenz Comes To Dania Beach
By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com If you are female in your 50’s, 60’s and 70’s – and maybe even in your early 80’s – the mention of Micky Dolenz still makes you think – what if…. A generation that was fun and all about falling in love with those musicians who etched a huge mark in your life. Dolenz and the Monkeys were just that. What they did as a group, and what he has done through the years, has indeed kept this memory very much alive. At the age of 74, Dolenz is still entertaining audiences and creating new fans wherever he goes – and one of those places that he is headed is the Casino @ Dania Beach on Saturday, April 13 at 8 p.m. “The Voice of the Monkees” – Dolenz will spend an intimate evening with fans, young and old, and one of those is Kala Prince of Hollywood. Prince, who grew up in Miami and moved to Hollywood had the chance to meet Dolenz back in 1980, and has never forgotten that encounter. As a private school student in Manhattan, Prince’s sixth grade music class performed at an event that was honoring the Monkees and after the event was over, he came over and shook hands with her and told her that she would be special someday. Those kinds of memories are what makes that gen-

eration so special. “The only people you can share those types of memories with are those who are with you – and know how special bands like the Monkees were to a young girl,” Prince explained. “You know, everyone has something that they had when they were young that was special. To me and millions like me, it was Micky Dolenz and those crazy shows they had on TV.” Indeed, a generation that had the opportunity to know George Michael Dolenz Jr., the son of actors George Dolenz and Janelle Johnson, and a crazy and talented group of musicians

Before his career rocketed in the music world, Dolenz was certainly no stranger to the limelight. He began his show-business career in 1956 when he starred in a children's TV show called Circus Boy under the name Mickey Braddock.
