Broward Relaxes Some Restrictions
Halloween Hasn’t Been Called Off
More Flexibility For Athletic Events, Function Spaces & More
It Can Be Socially Distanced And Safe For Everyone
As the number of COVID-19 cases in Broward continues to decline small groups (no larger than 10) can engage in athletic activities at beaches & in parks.
The tradition of Halloween over the years has been controversial to many, but this year it can be safe and a way to bring a sense of normalcy back to your family during these uncertain times.
As the number of COVID-19 cases in Broward continues to decline as a result of the restrictions in place with residents and businesses abiding by those restrictions, County Administrator Bertha Henry has issued Emergency Order 20-25, which relaxes some business, athletic events and function space restrictions. County Administrator Henry said, “We thank the community for its compliance to Emergency Orders which have reduced the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Broward. As a result of that compliance, we can provide our businesses and residents with more flexibility by relaxing some restrictions. Our goal is to keep the numbers low enough that schools can safely reopen.” Highlights of Emergency Order 20-25 include: Function spaces (ballrooms, banquet halls, catering halls, other event spaces) and other commercial facilities may operate on a limited basis. Spectators are permitted to attend non-professional Restrictions, Page 7A

No, Halloween hasn’t been called off because of COVID-19. It’s just adapting to the times we live in. When Haunt Drive comes to Tree Tops Park in October, you and your family can get scared out of your wits from the safety of your vehicle. The mostly drive-through event – there are also a couple of walks along a haunted trail that will take place on select evenings: October 8-10, 16-18, 2225, 26-31 and November 1st. Hours vary by activity, although each evening features a familyfriendly hour at 6PM, followed by scarier nighttime activities that begin at 7PM and run as late as 10PM, 11PM and even midnight, depending on whether you choose just the basic activity or opt for one or more add-ons. The holiday inspiration for the new event is Bruja, a magical ancient witch or sorceress who has supposedly been in captivity deep within Tree Tops for two centuries. Now she has escaped and will feed on those who wan-

Justice Sleeps and ‘We the People’ Suffer By John Whitehead - Rutherford Inst
The U.S. Supreme Court will not save us. It doesn’t matter which party gets to pick the replacement to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The battle that is gearing up right now is yet even more of a distraction and a spin to keep us oblivious to the steady encroachment on our rights by the architects of the American Police State. Americans can no longer rely on the courts to mete out justice. Although the courts were established to serve as Courts of Justice, what we have been saddled with, instead, are Courts of Order. This is true at all levels of the judiciary, but especially so in the highest court of the land, the U.S. Supreme Court, which is seemingly more concerned with establishing order and protecting government interests than with upholding the rights of the people enshrined in the U.S.
How Can A Divided Nation Unify, 5A
The cases the Supreme Court refuses to hear, allowing lower court judgments to stand, are almost as critical as the ones they rule on. Constitution. When presented with an opportunity to loosen the government’s noose that keeps getting cinched tighter and tighter around the necks of the
American people, what does our current Supreme Court usually do? It ducks. Prevaricates. Remains silent. Speaks to the narrowest possible concern.

More often than not, it gives the government and its corporate sponsors the benefit of the doubt, which leaves “we the people” hanging by a thread. Rarely do the justices of the
U.S. Supreme Court venture beyond their rarefied comfort zones. Every so often, the justices toss a bone to those who fear they have abdicated their allegiance to the Constitution. Too often, however, the Supreme Court tends to march in lockstep with the police state. In recent years, for example, the Court has ruled that police officers can use lethal force in car chases without fear of lawsuits; police officers can stop cars based only on “anonymous” tips; Secret Service agents are not accountable for their actions, as long as they’re done in the name of “security”; citizens only have a right to remain silent if they assert it; police have free reign to use drug-sniffing dogs as “search warrants on leashes,” justifying any and all police searches of vehicles stopped on the roadside; police can forcibly ‘We The People’, Page 5A
