Many generous families have showered their kids with more toys than they can find time to
play with while many more local families struggle to provide a full holiday experience for their children.
Community activist Marty Jacobsen is spearheading a toy drive and asking that people donate gently used toys. The children who will be receiving these toys come from families who are clients of Liberia Economic and Social Development (LES) in Hollywood. Jacobsen is a board member of LES.
“People who have older kids and grandkids probably have a small closet full of toys that could be used by needy children. People have good toys that are taking up closet space and those toys could put a smile on a child’s face,” said Jacobsen. “Last year we collected over 900 toys for children of the families we provide food bank services for. I
do this because it is rewarding and the right thing to do.”
The main office hours LES are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday at 3220 North 24th Ave. just north of Sheridan St. Toys can dropped off there or at one of the other drop off locations including:
LIBERIA ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT (LES)3220 North 24th Avenue, 954-924-3636
BEAUTY OF WAX 2029 Tyler Street, 954-922-2252
ART AND CULTURE CENTER OF HOLLYWOOD1650 Harrison Street, 954-921-3274
PNC BANK1837 Tyler Street, 954-929-2590
ROBERTS RESTAURANT 1320 Stirling Road, Dania Beach.
I.T. PARKER COMMUNITY CENTER 901 Northeast Third Street Dania Beach.
Also, LES will be having a huge rummage sale on Saturday, December 6 and Saturday December 13 at the organization’s offices at 3220 North 24th Avenue to benefit the food bank and toy drive. The hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. LES provides food to more than 500 families each month.
For more information, contact [email protected] or call 954-394-0998.
The Hollywood CRA is looking for volunteers to join in the monthly marine-turtle lighting audits. Volunteers would simply walk on the beach and look for lights.
If they see bright lights, the code officer John Weitzner will notify the home/business owner or condo association.
The CRA marine consultant will also be on location to offer lighting recommendations. The beach has been divided into 4 sections which will be audited one section each month until March 2015 when the ordinance goes into effect.
Next audits will occur Dec. 9, Jan. 14 ad Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. You can volunteer for one or more sections.

The Community Enhancement Collaboration, Inc. (CEC) is hosting
their 16th Annual Volunteers and Partners Toy Distribution and Holiday Decoration is set for Sat., Dec. 20 at Washington Park Community Center, 5199 Pembroke Road, Hollywood. “We will transform the Washington Park Gymnasium into a winter wonderland with toys and decorations for the children,” said McCrea. “Our goal is to feed the community and to help those in need. We want to improve the quality of life for many families
CEC is working with leaders from the City of Hollywood, churches and the community to plan upcoming events. In 2013, the CEC helped the community by serving 9,626 people from the Client Choice Food Pantry. CEC also helped
268 people find full time and part time jobs. Approximately 20,000 people have participated in CEC events and programs during the past year.
CEC is looking for more volunteers, partners, and vendors to help in the community effort.
CEC hopes to distribute 30,000 to 50,000 pounds of food during the holiday season to needy individuals and families and to raise $5,000 for each event to cover the operating costs.
CEC appreciates sponsors such Feeding South Florida, EZCORP Foundation, the
City of Hollywood, the Washington Park Homeowners Association, Molina Healthcare and many others who support and donate their time.

Hollywood residents can enjoy the 59th Annual Candy Cane Parade on the evening of December 6.
The fun will start at 7 p.m. on Scott Street. The Candy Cane Parade will move along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and end at Harrison Street. It will take about one hour and a half to complete. There are about 70 total entries including 30 floats.
Marching bands from South Broward High School, McArthur High School, Chaminade-Madonna High School, Hollywood Hills High School and Grace Academy will perform. Santa Claus will be part of the parade and of course, there will be candy canes.
“This is Hollywood’s signature event and it brings the community together. There will be about 30,000 people in attendance,” said Toni Bridges, program and events manager for Hollywood.
There will be free shuttle service from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. from downtown parking areas on 20th Avenue at Van Buren Street and 19th Avenue at Tyler Street.

It’s a fact that in schools, classrooms, and
the business world, women sometimes struggle to be noticed. One 20-year study that, on average, boys receive eight times more attention from teachers than girls do. This trend continues through college, and many women find it’s true in professional environments.
This prompted one local artist to ask “What if you could change a girl’s life just because you noticed? What if noticing a girl’s talents, courage and tenacity allowed her to become the person she was meant to be?”
That question is what inspired Hollywood artist Lori Pratico to create “Girl Noticed”, an art project that will visit all 50 states over the next 3 years to erect a series of large exterior murals. Each mural will be a detailed charcoal portrait a female chosen from the area in which the mural is located. By painting in charcoal, weather and time will naturally and quickly fade away these images. There is a window of time to “notice” the artwork that has been created. This natural process reinforces the message of the project: “when an individual’s talents, intelligence, and character are left unnoticed, they may fade away, disappear, and never be seen or developed to their full potential.”
Pratico remembers what it was like growing up, going from fearlessness to timidity. “I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but looking back I can understand why. Why this wide-eyed hopeful, full-of-spirit and guts kid all of a sudden was afraid of everything,” recalls Pratico. “I suppose it was because the steps I used to jump from also led to
the house where I never quite felt good enough. My accomplishments seemed insignificant and my dreams were dismissed. It happened when suddenly my changing body brought attention that was neither asked for nor wanted and left me feeling ashamed and small. I was a lucky one because a handful of special people in my life recognized my thoughts and dreams and validated my ideas, and believed in me, so my hope stayed alive.
Not all girls are so lucky.“I have already received an
overwhelming response from women who feel that they have indeed lived their lives
unnoticed, and that by being unnoticed, their lives and the lives of those around them have been profoundly impacted,” Pratico said.
Her goal is “to bring attention to important issues surrounding the demoralization of women and to recognize the strength, courage, talents and tenacity of females throughout the United States. I’m creating something you have no choice but to notice. Every day a girl or woman is left unnoticed is a day too long.”
Hollywood photographer, artist and Gallery owner Elizabeth Sanjuan will partner with Pratico as she travels the country for “Girl Noticed”, taking portraits of the subjects alongside the murals, which will eventually become part of a book to be published at the completion of the project. “I am constantly reminded that even though people live worlds apart, we are truly all the same,” said Sanjuan. “Our hopes, dreams, loves and losses are all captured
in our faces. The camera, provides objective proof of our commonality.”
Pratico and Sanjuan plan a reception and fundraiser at Gallery 2014 (2014 Harrison St., Hollywood FL) December 10th to showcase and build awareness of their unique mission. All are invited to attend. They plan another event at the first mural site in January to announce the schedule of the project, and share sponsorship and fundraising opportunities. Sanjuan and her husband, Ken Brown, are also backing the project in another way – they have pledged to match any donation towards the project, up to $10,000, through their non-profit, the Sanjuan-Brown Hollywood Arts Foundation. Contributions are tax exempt.
More information about the project can be found at www.girlnoticed.com or call Lori Pratico at 954-605-5208 for more information.

Ebola is growing threat on the world scene. A growing number of cities are setting
up plans to deal with Ebola and other infectious disease problems.
The City of Hollywood Fire Rescue department has developed a plan to deal with this potential problem.
“Due to the nature of Hollywood Fire Rescue’s job description we deal with infectious diseases on a daily basis. When it comes to disease pathogens that may require a higher level of protection we have protocols in place that outline specific steps to take. In response to the Ebola virus we have established a process that includes the dispatching on the Hollywood Fire Rescue Hazardous Materials Team (HazMat),” said Chris Del Campo, Battalion Chief for Hollywood Fire Rescue.
Every Fire Rescue department member is trained for what is known as an “awareness level” This consists of: establishing command/control (scene management), detecting the presence
of hazardous materials, beginning the identification of hazards, and evacuation. Also, there is decontamination/personnel protection, Isolate incident/identify zones of activity, contain incident without risking exposure and seek additional appropriate resources, according to Del Campo.
“Our hazmat team has extensive training in taking on and off (donning and doffing) of protective gear. These members will be present on any suspected case to aid in the scene mitigation,” said Del Campo.
Recently Hollywood Fire Rescue partnered with Memorial Regional Hospital and conducted a full scale drill simulating an Ebola patient. This was done in an effort to identify any shortfalls in the system.
“We are still conducting education and training to our personnel, and as new information becomes available we disseminate to our members,” said Del Campo.
Hollywood residents can be sure that Hollywood Fire Rescue is prepared to deal with infectious disease.

Hollywood Fire Rescue is prepared for Ebola

Homelessness continues to be a hot issue in Broward County and Hollywood. Many
business owners and residents really don’t like homeless people in Hollywood. And many more were pleased when Sean Cononie sold his COSAC properties to Hollywood and agreed to leave town.
The City recently hired Laurie-Ann Walton to deal specifically with the problem. She is in the process of building a homeless program with the goal of resolving the issue of homelessness and some of the problems that people without a regular place to live are facing.
Hollywood Police officers met with Coninie and Walton Nov. 20 at COSAC to discuss the process of transition and departure.
While Walton is meeting with homeless people assessing their situation and helping them find transitional housing, the City of Hollywood is working to develop a comprehensive approach to dealing with the homeless problem in the City, according to
Lieutenant Derik Alexander of the Hollywood Police Department.
“The City has taken a very big step in helping the homeless. The social worker Ms. Walton and I have talked about riding together to help the long term chronic homeless person on the street,” said Sean Coninie, owner of COSAC. “We hope when COSAC leaves the city that we will continue to work together to eradicate the homeless in ways that are humane... When COSAC departs I have reached out to the city asking that they help us relocate members of our current shelter system that want to be reunited with their out-of-town family members and the city has agreed to help with bus tickets. The Hollywood Police are serving the community as well where it is a win-win situation for everyone. I grew up in Hollywood and I advised the city that I will serve the City Manager anytime they need me for any pressing problems and to help at the time of disasters helping the homeless on cold weather nights or severe storms that may be near. We may be leaving, but our hearts are staying and if needed we are just one call away.”

SCHOOL NEWS
The Hollywood Central Elementary - PTA Board of Directors recently hosted the opening of their 32-station keyboard music lab on November 13.
Through a general population vote held earlier this school year, the PTA passed a $16K budget to approve the purchase of the Yamaha LC3 music lab equipment.
The state-of-the-art LC3 controller system becomes the heart of the classroom. In the front of the class the teacher sits behind a master keyboard with a microphone headset and control panel that is connected through data cables leading back to each student keyboard station. As students also wear the same headset this communication system gives the teacher the ability to tune in and instruct each child individually or the entire classroom at once.
PTA Vice President, Kristi Huddleston says “We are all so excited to bring this amazing keyboard lab to Hollywood Central Elementary. We understand the importance of music education and the difference it can make in a child’s life. Hopefully, the students will be playing Jingle Bells just in time for the holidays!”
Hollywood Mayor Peter Bober attended the opening along with several Broward
County School Board Members. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place along with live demonstrations of the keyboard music lab. “Hollywood Central Chorus” performed as well as “The American Poets”, a folk band including two HCE parents and a drawing for a new Yamaha keyboard was held.

Hollywood residents who want to use ride share companies may have to wait awhile.
The Broward County Commission has asked that a cease and desist letter be sent to vehicle for hire companies. The most well-known organizations are Uber and Lyft which have been operating in Broward County since August. Taxi cab operators are strongly opposed to these companies.
The way ride share companies work is that an Internet application is used to match up drivers in privately owned cars to customers who need transportation. They are referred to as transportation network companies and are not regulated by Broward County and not in compliance with the motor carrier ordinance which requires oversight over insurance, inspections, criminal background checks and licensing.
“We are a technology company. We are an application that you’re able to download and we connect riders all over the world. We don’t employ any of the drivers. We operate in over two hundred cities,” said David Barmore, a member of Uber’s Public Policy Team. "In the past six months, fourteen cities have introduced new transportation network company ordinances that encompass our technology. So I hope
that we can begin the process and that Uber and our partner drivers have a seat at the table to continue this dialogue,” said Barmore.
“I am a big consumer advocate. I think there’s so much information that we need to have before we can move to the next conversation,” noted Commissioner Lois Wexler. “At some point we need someone from Uber to sit at the table with us, someone from Yellow Cab so that we can learn more. We need a workshop type setting.”
Members of the Broward Commission have expressed concern about consumer safety, accountability and surge pricing. With surge pricing, prices change during the day depending on demand. Commissioners have raised questions about how these transportation companies fit in with current cab services, which are licensed and regulated.

The Hollywood Hills Marching Band was among a large group of Broward County high school bands that performed in the recent Florida Bandmaster’s Association District 15 Marching Band Music Performance Assessment. Hollywood Hills received an excellent rating overall, superior rating in general effect, excellent rating in musical performance and excellent rating in marching and maneuvering.
“I am proud of this band. This is my first year as the band director at Hollywood Hills and next year we will do even better,” said Jeffrey L. Lawson.
And being a part of the marching band is far more than doing well at an assessment. Lawson believes band is a great activity for young people. “It builds camaraderie and community. The band students feel they belong somewhere,” said Lawson.
The Hollywood Hills band performed at the recent Falcon Sound Invitational at Flanagan High School. And the band
performs at football games. “We have fun at the games. We play contemporary, rock and hip hop at the games,” said Lawson.
The band program depends on parents who are members of the band boosters. “We raise money by holding car washes and performing in front of Chili’s,” said Celia Akomer, president of the Hollywood Hills Band Boosters Club.
Some of the band members will continue to study music and college and may pursue professional careers in music. And many will seek careers in other professions. But nearly all the band members will remember the fun and friendships they made while practicing and performing.
High school marching bands are like large, loud families.

Hollywood Beach artist and designer Wayne
William Snellgrove is sharing his vision of helping sick youngsters through a unique project, Healing Fans for Children Living With Cancer, being offered at Made from the Heart with Love, an art and crafts co-op in Downtown Hollywood.
Snellgrove, a full-blood Cree Indian originally from Canada, received “a spiritual message that I could do much more healing for those who are sick.”
Snellgrove wasn’t sure what to do with a bag of beautiful feathers he was given until the answer came to him in prayer: create healing fans for children. Since visiting Made from the Heart with Love – which showcases a myriad of handcrafted products from local artists, artisans and craftsmen – Snellgrove’s vision has expanded to ultimately include others in need of healing prayer, such as wounded veterans and injured police
officers.As part of the initial project to benefit
children with cancer, young people can design and create a sacred healing prayer fan “with love and prayer” at Made from the Heart with Love, and then give it to a sick child who “may be in need of a little extra prayer and love,” Snellgrove said.
He stresses that the purpose of his project is not to promote a particular vision of a Higher Power but to leave whatever form that might take to each individual creating a healing prayer fan.
“We are interested only in creating an opportunity for each child, healthy or not, to connect with or strengthen the bond they already have with their Higher Power,” Snellgrove said. “The fans are a symbolic and powerful way of sending prayers to the heavens and to the Creator.”
Student art sessions will begin in early December at Made from the Heart with Love, which offers original works of art and eco-friendly “upcycled” gifts in a 1,200-square-foot open space at 117 S. 21st Ave. The fee is $25 per student for a 90-minute to two-hour session, with discounts available for multi-child families. A portion of the proceeds will benefit future programming at Made from the
Heart with Love.All materials for creating a one-
of-a-kind healing prayer fan – feathers, handles, glue, ribbons and trinkets – are included, as well as age-appropriate Native American storytelling and a light smudging ceremony. In addition, a brief nondenominational traditional ceremony will be arranged, followed by art students’ presentation of their fans to their recipients.
Snellgrove is pleased with the response to the Healing Prayer Fans Project and is already working with local groups to expand its scope beyond children living with cancer.
“Everybody loves the idea,” he said. “The need for healing medicine is boundless. We wish to work with the community on future projects and welcome input and ideas.”
For more information on the Healing Prayer Fans Project, call Snellgrove at 954-793-8290 or Made from the Heart with Love at 954-999-1359. The shop is open from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday and from 2 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Visit the Made from the Heart with Love page on Facebook for additional information..
Mobile School Pantry’s (MSP) 2nd Annual “Gobble Giveaway” focused on students and families in our community, is not only a way of providing Thanksgiving meals to families, but also a way to show kindness and support to those who are feeling the pain of poverty and misfortune. This year’s “Gobble Giveaway” took place at Stirling Elementary on November 25th.
“We need to ‘Just Say No’ to hunger in our community. No one should go hungry here,“ said Zeina Zein-Wolland, the Founder of MSP.
Last year, 13 families received a Publix Thanksgiving Dinner.This year, meals to 51 families at Stirling Elementary School who were pre-registered with MSP had access to these meals. MSP is a 501C(3) that is dependent on donations.
Mobile School Pantry also provides monthly distributions at Stirling Elementary School. Families who attend the school may shop at no cost in their client choice pantry that focuses on more nutritious foods. They are similar to a farmers market with fresh fruits and vegetables along with non-perishable food items.
Orangebrook Elementary School is set to start their monthly distributions on December 18, 2014.
“Students don’t learn the same when they are hungry. I keep snacks for my students in my classroom. We can’t
even begin to do writing, reading and math until we take care of their social-emotional needs,” said Anna Fusco, a 5th grade teacher at Orangebrook Elementary School. “It’s making sure that they are hardy, mentally and socially.”
This years donors included Wasser’s Exclusive Furniture & Interiors, Joes’s Old School Pizza, Caristo Construction, Inc., Newman Brothers Construction & Development, Synerg!ze CrossFit954 and Pro Realty. Additionally, Publix donated 45 pumpkin pies and Florida T-shirts
sponsored shirts for MSP volunteers.“MSP is committed to helping our
residents in any way that we can”, Zein-Wolland said. “All of these wonderful partners make these kinds of programs possible.”
For more information on Mobile School Pantry and for ways for to get involved yearlong, call Zeina at (954) 297-4929 or email [email protected].

With college and job markets becoming more and more competitive, teens are looking for anything that can prepare them for the future and give them an edge that makes them stand out.
It is extremely important for teens to become involved in their community and gain the necessary skills for their future, and the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood (ACCH) is ready to give them that opportunity.
The ACCH’s Arts Ambassadors program allows teens to become an involved member of the community while gaining skills to help them later in life.
The program is also great for teens looking to complete service hour requirements for high school graduation. According to Susan Rakes, the Center’s Assistant Director, the Art and Culture Center wanted teens to become involved in order to learn leadership skills, prepare for their future, and gain career readiness. “The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood is determined to teach young people the skills they need in order to be successful in life,” said Rakes. They teach ambassadors resume development, interview techniques, and public speaking-- all things that will prove important no matter what occupation a teenager chooses.
Teens will gain knowledge about their community and lead events throughout Hollywood, and can have the opportunity to become involved in art events throughout the city. The enrollment for this program is ongoing for teens ages fourteen to eighteen, and the ambassadors meet twice a month on Mondays.
The cost varies depending on the number of sessions and whether or not the teen was previously a member.
Teens Arts Ambassadors is funded in part by the Jim Moran Children’s Fund of the Community Foundation of Broward and a General Fund Social Services Grant from the City of Hollywood. There are a limited amount of scholarships available to those who qualify.
To apply, visit artandculturecenter.org/ambassadors and become an ambassador of your community and an ambassador of your future.

Donations can also be made on their website, www.hollywoodwomensclub.com.
The Greater Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), Hollywood Women’s Club, founded in 1922, is one of the City of Hollywood’s oldest civic groups. Funds raised will support the Clubs community service programs and the continuing restoration.
Students at Broward County Schools
will see improved facilities, more technology and more resources for arts and athletics.
The Broward County voters approved an $800 million General Obligation Bond during the November 4 election.
“We would like to thank all of our parents, employees, students and community members for working incredibly hard over the past several months to inform our community about the critical needs facing our schools,” said Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie. “The General Obligation Bond will provide the funds necessary to meet our schools’ most critical life-safety, technology and facility needs, as well as invest in music, art and athletic programs. The Bond is an investment in our students’ futures, as we work to provide them with the resources they need to learn to their highest potential.”
Hollywood Hills High School will receive a budget of $15,871,000 for major renovations. Other schools
in Hollywood will receive money for significant improvements.
Because of the Bond, 212 schools will have work performed on their building envelopes, roofs, and windows. Many District schools will have wall renovations and replacements. 217 schools will have renovations done on their HVAC systems to ensure that every school in the District has fully-functioning air conditioning and improved air quality. There will be 287 safety projects across the District to address all fire alarm and fire sprinkler needs.
Also, every school will have a complete single point of entry system. All District schools will see improvements to their computers and technology infrastructure; These schools will also receive $100,000 in funding from the Bond that can be used to support school identified capital improvement projects.
This bond is needed by the school system. In May 2008, the Florida Legislature reduced the tax on property values that provides capital revenues for school districts to address facility and equipment needs from $2 per $1,000 of taxable value to $1.75. In 2009, the legislature further reduced the tax rate by another 25 cents, to $1.50 per $1,000 of taxable value. Because of this loss,
the Broward County school system was forced to cut $1.8 billion in capital projects for schools and facilities.
This means that Broward taxpayers are spending less on education than in previous years. Forty percent of the District’s school buildings are more than 25 years old and the average age is 27 years old. In all buildings, roofs, air conditioners, electrical systems and plumbing have a limited lifespan and need repair or replacement.
A Broward County homeowner with a home valued at $225,000 will realize an average increase in capital outlay tax of $50 per year over the life of the bond. The homeowner’s capital outlay tax will be about $127 less per year than it was in 2007. This means the homeowner will pay about 26 percent less in capital outlay than seven years ago.
A Broward County condominium owner with a condominium valued at $105,000 will realize and average increase in capital outlay tax of $20 per year over the life of the bonds. This is $72 less per year than it was in 2007. This means that the condominium owner will still be paying 33 percent less in capital outlay tax than seven years ago.
Temple Solel’s annual Hanukkah celebration
set for Dec. 19th
Temple Beth El launches Bar/
Bat Mitzvah AppBroward voters approve $800
million bond; Hollywood schools to receive significant improvements
Annual Hanukkah Celebration tickets include chance to win free membership at Temple Solel
‘Community’ is the theme at the Temple Solel’s Hanukkah celebration this year. All ticket purchases for the December 19th evening include an entry to win a free one-year membership to the Hollywood, Fla. Reform synagogue.
Temple Solel will celebrate the 4th night of Hanukkah with a lively celebration featuring entertainment from Pure Energy Entertainment deejays and dancers plus
delicious fare from Artisan Foods. The open-to-the-public event includes food, fun, and friendship. Other door prizes are soon to be announced, and sponsorship opportunities are also available. The 6:30 p.m. dinner begins after a brief Shabbat and Hanukkah service at 5:30 p.m.
“For an evening of celebration and community, dinner and dancing the price is right!” said Robin Agronin, Executive Director of Temple Solel.
The cost is $25 per adult, $18 for children ages 6- 13, and $10 for children up to age 5. Tickets may be purchased through the Temple office by calling 954-989-0205.
New Program Makes Bar/Bat Mitzvah Achievable and Accessible for All.
Temple Beth El of Hollywood, Hollywood’s original reform congregation, announces the launch of its Bar/Bat Mitzvah APP (Accelerated Prep Program).
This “no strings attached” program offers Jewish families who do not want to join a temple the opportunity to have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah for their child. During this fast track learning program teens will be taught Hebrew in order to read their Torah portion and lead the congregation in prayer. For a one time investment, Temple Beth El’s Rabbi Allan Tuffs and Cantor Manny Silver will tutor children one on one and custom tailor the program to fit each child’s needs. Classes will be available in person, by Skype or Facetime to make it convenient for families with busy schedules or families that live outside the immediate area.
For no additional cost, families will be able to have their service in Temple Beth El’s sanctuary officiated by both the Rabbi and the Cantor.
“Studies show that only 31% of Jews in the United States are affiliated with a synagogue, but we know there are so many more people who would like to experience Jewish milestones,” said Rabbi Allan Tuffs. “Temple Beth El of Hollywood is blending traditions with technology to best meet the needs of modern day families in our community.”
The Acclerated Prep Program is offered 12 months prior to the child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Individual classes are held for 30 minutes each week. Students are required to attend one class per month in person. All other classes are available via Skype and Facetime.

Hollywood Beach has the U.S. Army Reserves to thank for a boutique condominium being built at the northern end of Ocean Drive. Hollywood attorney Eric Ansel and developer Charlie Sher both attended South Broward High, but they became real buddies when they served together as stateside medics during the Vietnam War. A few years ago they were driving on A1A and spotted a for sale sign. What a great site for a development project, they thought.
Indeed they were right. Located at 2900 N. Ocean Drive, the property sits on the Intracoastal Waterway with a view of the Anne Kolb Nature Center.
When completed in the spring of 2015, Sky Harbor will be a five-story, eight-unit masonry structure with four floors of living space over ground level parking. Each unit will be a corner unit with 2,036 square ft. including three bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, and a 700 square ft. wrap-around deck.
Floor to ceiling glass will afford full views of the Intracoastal to the west and partial views of the ocean to the east. There will be two units to each floor with an elevator opening into a private vestibule, and all interior elements will be impeccably executed. Along with key controlled elevators, the security system will feature electronic door controls.
But Sky Harbor will also have something
that very few South Florida condominiums have—eight boat slips capable of accommodating vessels up to 70 ft. in length.
“There was a dearth of dock space on the Intracoastal and we thought this was the solution for the boat owner who wanted a beautiful apartment and the convenience of a private dock,” said Eric Ansel.
“We saw this as a great opportunity to create a luxury lifestyle condominium where you can have a boat slip in your backyard and the beach in your
front yard. It doesn’t get any better than that,” added Sher.
Similar to other high-end, small-scale condominium developments that are popping up across the U.S., Sky Harbor is for people who favor intimacy and privacy over high-rise density. The land that it sits on was once home to the Sky Harbor Motel so its name is an acknowledgement of history.
Even Hollywood’s mayor is pleased with the project.
“Sky Harbor reflects a very sensible less-is-more development philosophy that doesn’t try to cram too much on a single site or push the envelope in terms of density,” said Mayor Peter Bober.
The perfect pied-a-terre for those who like luxury, space, and privacy, Sky Harbor is likely to sell out quickly. For more information, contact Charlie Sher at 619-977-6606 or www.skyharborcondominiums.com

I MET OPRAH.Yep, a couple of
weekends ago I fulfilled one of my top 5 Bucket List items- I met THE Oprah Winfrey. WOW-
what an absolute honor and privilege that experience was! Not just because of her celebrity status but because of what she has accomplished and contributed to the world to achieve that status. Oprah is perhaps THE most ‘accomplished’ and successful women in the world, and she started with absolutely NOTHING but faith and the will to succeed. For me, she inspires passion, purpose, leadership, courage, confidence, resilience, and contribution to the world. In a nutshell, Oprah is simply THE BOMB, but more importantly she makes me want to become a better person and for me, that’s what it’s all about!
I could write a dissertation on the lessons I learned and was reminded of from ‘Oprah’s Life You Want’ tour weekend, but I’d like to share the ones that resonated with me the most, (with a slight health and fitness spin of course) in hopes that they may inspire you to make decisions and take actions that will move you towards creating the Life You Really Want!
1. KARMA IS REALWhether you believe in this law or not,
Karma is real. The energy you put out will ALWAYS come back to you in ‘like kind’. In other words, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I see this law in effect every day with my clients. Those who consistently show up, put forth 100% effort in their workouts and have disciplined eating habits, get the best results. Those who don’t…well…they don’t. There is no magic in this law. It’s as simple as this: you reap what you sow. If you want to be leaner, slimmer, fitter and healthier then guess what? You MUST do the work. Period.The more you put in, the more you’ll get back. That’s not rhetoric, but law! You can choose to take shortcuts (pills, diets, body wraps etc) in hopes of getting fast results but they will not last, because the ‘energy’ has not been invested in order for the results to be returned. The effort you put forth to get the body and health you want will not always be easy or convenient, but I promise you this: it will be worth it!
2. EVERYTHING MATTERSPastor, Author, and one of Oprah’s tour
trailblazers, Rob Bell said this: ‘Everything matters:the big things, the little things, the mundane things, the repetitive things, the exciting things and all the things ‘in between; they all matter’. It’s easy and typical to take the seemingly insignificant moments of our life for granted (laundry, homework, errands etc.) but those moments COUNT
too. Nothing is irrelevant to your life, and every moment, every choice, every decision, every encounter… matters. As a person who tends to move VERY fast, not usually taking time to ‘smell the roses’ this was a HUGE reminder for me.
So how does this principle apply to your health and fitness? Well, exactly the same. EVERYTHING MATTERS. When it comes to transforming your body and improving your health: getting enough sleep matters, drinking plenty of water matters (half your body weight in ounces), managing your stress matters, weight training matters, stretching matters, detoxing matters, eating enough vegetables and healthy fats matter, consistency matters, working hard matters…it ALL matters. In 2006 I named my training studio Synergize (now Synergize home of CrossFit 954), because I believe in the idea of synergy, the idea that EVERYTHING that you do contributes exponentially to your end result. Therefore, if you want AWESOME, jaw-dropping results, give attention to all that you do (or do not do), the BIG things, the little things and everything in between because in the end…it all matters!
3. BE CLEAROne of the most seemingly simply, yet
ironically most difficult, questions to ask yourself is ‘What do I want? It is this question that Elizabeth Gilbert (another ‘Oprah trailblazer’ and author of ‘Eat. Pray. Love’) asked herself 15 years ago before divorcing her husband and traveling around the world to find the answer to that question. Most people give the most generic and vague answer to this question: ‘I want to be happy’. I want to be wealthy’. I want to be free’. ‘I want to be fit’. ‘I want to lose weight.
I’m sure you would agree that what makes you happy may not be what makes me happy, and what you consider ‘fit’ may not be what I consider fit. So the next question is: ‘What does happiness, wealth, fitness, or whatever you want, look like for you? Do you want to fit into a pair of size 6 jeans, run a marathon or just get off your meds? Do you have a CLEAR picture of what you want that you can imagine and describe with vivid detail? If not, there is a likely chance that you won’t achieve it. I often tell my clients (and myself) you cannot hit a target if you don’t know where it is, therefore be VERY CLEAR about your desired end result. How do you define being fit? For some, it may be running a mile in under 5 minutes or winning the CrossFit Games, and for others, like my client Cherri B., fitness is simply being able to play with her grandchildren instead of watching them play. My point is this: until you are clear there is hesitancy. Clarity is the force that opens the door to achieving any goal, so take time and identify EXACTLY what you want as vividly as possible, and then once it is clear …ACT! Not tomorrow, not next week, but TODAY, because right now, TODAY, is all you have.
4. EMBRACE PAINIyanla Vanzant, Oprah’s final trailblazer
on the ‘Life you Want’ Tour said this: ‘Everything you want is on the other side of the labor pain it takes to birth it’. WOW. ‘As an Ivy League graduate, business owner and mother of two, I would agree that truer words have never been spoken. Sometimes to get what you want, you’ve got to be willing to endure the occasional, yet inevitable, discomforts of the journey. As I always tell my clients: ‘get comfortable with being uncomfortable because that’s where the magic happens… outside the comfort zone’. Waking up to workout at the crack of dawn or after a long day of work, choosing the grilled chicken salad over the burger and fries, passing on the cocktail in favor of water, are all habits that can be very HARD and ‘uncomfortable’ to consistently implement, but they are also the habits that will yield the best results. After all, if it were easy, obesity wouldn’t be an epidemic and everyone would be prancing around the beach shirtless and in string bikinis. Right? The bottom line is this: you can have whatever it is you desire, as long as you’re willing to embrace the inevitable ‘pain’ that you will encounter on any worthwhile quest.

Hollywood City Manager Cathy Swanson-Rivenbark has officially accepted
the position of City Manager for Coral Gables.She was well respected for her work but
had received some criticism for her handling of a group of contract workers.
“She did a phenomenal job and got us through the worst times our city has ever seen,” commented Vice Mayor Patricia Asseff. “I am sure she will be missed. It is really hard losing a good city manager.”
Asseff also understands that Coral Gables may offer a better opportunity for Swanson-Rivenbark. “A city manager wants to be where she is wanted. She will do a great job and will get more money. She is very capable,” said Asseff.
Swanson-Rivenbark came to Hollywood from Coral Gables in May of 2009 and began as an assistant city manager and became the city manager in June of 2012. Some of her accomplishments include leading the Johnson Street Redevelopment (commonly known as the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort) and the conversion of an old fire station into a downtown Hollywood campus for Barry University’s College of Health Sciences.
She guided the City out of financial urgency and in to a more sustainable business model. She worked with Sean Cononie on the relocation of his homeless facility, and led the merging of the Beach and Downtown Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) offices into a unified agency. She expanded the role of the Department of Community Redevelopment from low-income housing to citywide neighborhood transformation and economic development.
Swanson-Rivenbark was involved in the hiring of Wazir Ishmael, who is the Assistant City Manager for Sustainable Development, and Frank Fernandez, who is the Assistant City Manager for Public Safety/Chief of Police.
She also had a part in hiring Community and Economic Development Director Davon Barbour, Labor Relations Director Raquel Elejabarieta, Human Resources Director Tammie Hechler, Director of Real Estate Fred Hopkins, Public Works director Sylvia Glazer and promoting Public Utilities Director Steve Joseph, Fire Chief Eric Busenbarrick, and Building Director Reggie Cox.
Working with the City’s unions, Swanson-Rivenbark revised several of Hollywood’s policies including better benefits for part time employees, the introduction of a flexible spending card to help employees with rising health care coverage, the introduction of a free employee wellness program, improved learning and development offerings.
She also hired Jennifer Solinger, who introduced other affordable but meaningful employee benefits. The employee recruitment process is now stricter with better background checks and reviews. Notably, the highest number of police officers and other employees have been hired in recent history, according to Joann Hussey, spokesperson for the City of Hollywood.
“This is a huge loss for the City and her shoes will be difficult to fill,” said Mayor Peter Bober. “I think some people treated her shabbily and she has other opportunities.”
Bober said he expects there will be an interim city manager for a period of time. The commission will have an opportunity to evaluate who should have the job on a permanent basis.
“We need someone who has an understanding of the importance of building our neighborhoods, prioritizing public safety and understanding of labor issues. We need someone who has the ability to work with average residents on community projects.” said Bober.
The City of Hollywood is now in the process of seeking a new City Manager.
