EMERALD HILLS

Establishment of Emerald Hills Safety Enhancement District passes on first reading

BY DAVID VOLZ

The Hollywood Commission passed on first reading an ordinance to create the Emerald Hills Safety Enhancement District. The district will include the section west of 46th Avenue and includes 512 single-family homes. It will come back before the Commission for a second reading likely in April. The Commission wants to ensure enough time so that everyone who lives in that section of Emerald Hills receives proper notification that their community will become a taxing district.

Residents of western Emerald Hills spoke at the meeting in favor of creating the district. For about seven years, a group of about 200 residents have been paying an offduty Hollywood police officer to patrol their neighborhood during daytime hours. Emerald Hills is considered a pleasant neighborhood and therefore a good target for burglars, according to people who spoke during the meeting. The households who participate in this effort pay $700 per residence per year for the protection. Under the taxing district, all households in the western portion of Emerald Hills would be charged $250 per residence per year for the enhanced protection.

“This is something we need for western Emerald Hills,” said Andrew Sossin, who is leading the effort for the taxing district. “Since we started this policing program, crime in our community has gone down by 90 percent. This is not only good for our community but for the entire area, because by us paying extra we are adding more police on the street.

We polled the people who would be part of this taxing district and 93 percent of the responses we got were in favor of creating the taxing district.”

Sandra Veszi Einhorn, an Emerald Hills resident, said she believes the district is needed to reduce or eliminate crime in the community.

“We need to band together to protect our neighborhood,” she said.

CORRESPONDENT

dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com

Members of the Commission expressed some concern and asked whether a new taxing district was really needed. They also hope to hear from more residents and want

to make sure everyone in western Emerald Hills knows that this taxing district is set to become a reality.

Commissioner Kevin Biederman said, “I am not convinced the major-

ity of the property want it. But If we have a sufficient number of property owners that want it I think I could support it,” he said.

HOLLYWOOD BEACH

Forty pounds: The total monthly CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com weight of used cigarettes disposed on Hollywood Beach and left for city maintenance crews to remove.

While the City Commission and environmentalists prefer if people would choose not to smoke along the sandy shoreline, current state law allows only Florida legislators in Tallahassee to ban smoking in public places.

In lieu of a ban on smoking outright, the Commission resolved to discourage smokers with signage situated at the beach and in parks with messages such as, “Please don’t smoke, young lungs at play.”

Vice Mayor Traci Callari voiced concern that a ban on smoking at beaches and parks would bring the City lawsuits.

“I don’t like smoking. As a nurse, I have seen its negative effects,” Callari said. “But I don’t want the city to have more litigation.”

Under the ban that would have made Hollywood the first city in South Florida to do away with smoking at the beach and in parks, people caught at the beach would have faced fines ranging from $50 to $200. Smokers at a city park or playBY DAVID VOLZ

ground would have faced even heavier fines up to $500.

Commissioner Dick Blattner, who wanted the ban, said he would continue to encourage it. He believes the public wants a ban on smoking at the beach and in parks.

Commissioner Kevin Biederman said he did not want to cause any tourists to be unhappy.

“We have tourists who come to Hollywood who like to smoke,” Biedermann said. “We spend money to attract tourism.”

Commissioner Debra Case believes people smoking at the beach and parks set a poor example for children and a ban on smoking in public areas would be better for young people.

“We want to encourage families to use the beach,” Case said.

Another concern of the Commission involved strategic enforcement of the ban. Mayor Josh Levy discussed with Commissioners Biederman and Callari the issue of having to ask police officers to enforce the ban and spend time going after beach smokers, instead of going after real criminals, like a robber holding up a city resident or visitor.

Hollywood Lakes residents call for less traffic near 13th Ave.

Neal Rosenblum, a Hollywood Lakes CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com resident who lives on 13th Street, believes there is too much traffic driving through his neighborhood in order to

BY DAVID VOLZ

avoid more congested streets like Federal Highway and U.S. 1.

Rosenblum says too many drivers are using 13th Avenue as a cut-through street. This includes cars, delivery trucks, fuel tanker trucks and trucks

hauling construction materials. He said he believes they He is working to organize people in his neighborhood to ask the City to address this issue.

“As of 2017, we have experienced more than 100 car, bicycle and pedestrian accidents within about 200 yards of 13th Avenue and Tyler Street. Many of these accidents have resulted in severe injuries,” Rosenblum said. He attributes the accidents to the funneling of all the Dania-to-Hallandale traffic onto the 22-foot-wide street, which he said has no curbing, has insufficient drainage and contains substandard pavement.

“My security cameras have recorded some of the accidents including a vehicle driving right through my picket fence just a short time after I played soccer with my kids in my yard, a bicy-

clist getting struck by a car, and one car colliding with another,” he said.

Rosenblum wants to see a peanut median on Hollywood Boulevard at 13th Avenue. Other proposals include making portions of 13th Avenue oneway or making it impossible for drivers to turn left from Federal Highway onto Johnson and Polk Street. He would also like to see no left turns from Johnson Street onto 13th Avenue to prevent cars from West Lake Village from driving on 13th Avenue.

Raelin Storey, spokesperson for Hollywood, said surveys have been conducted among residents in the community but there has been little interest in making major changes to the surrounding roads.

Hollywood Commission recognizes Broward Reads: the campaign for grade-level reading He was among a group of people who received a proclamation in support of Broward Reads. The organization is working to ensure that lowerincome children have access to books in their homes. Broward Reads’ pillars

include school readiness; making sure that children who enter kindergarten are ready for success, in an effort to eliminate chronic absenteeism, in-

crease family engagement and prevent the summer slide; and ensuring that there are programs in place to keep children learning during the summer

months.

Broward Reads wants cities to unite to demonstrate their commitment to achieving third-grade reading proficiency for all children. It aims to identify a city liaison as a contact for the Broward Reads campaign to increase grade-level reading as well as key community stakeholders who can work together to make significant improvements in early literacy in the City.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

Affordable senior housing OK’d for development on Adams Street Hollywood residents may not dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com be aware of the struggle many of their senior neighbors face to pay for a quality house or apartment. But all that could change soon.

At a recent meeting, the Hollywood Commission joined an agreement with Pinnacle Housing Group and the City of Hollywood to provide a local government loan for the development of an affordable senior housing project on Adams Street.

Pinnacle was previously unsuccessful in winning an allocation of tax credits needed to fund the redevelopment project it proposed for the site.

So, the city has now stepped up and agreed to provide a local government loan not to exceed $578,000 to keep the project moving forward. According to the agreement, the total shared expenditure is about $2.1 million.

Real Estate Closings, Title Insurance, Escrow Services

One-on-one Personalized Service Protect your investment with a Title Search and Title Insurance What is Title Insurance?

Title insurance is a policy used by homebuyers and lenders for protection against back taxes, undisclosed liens, legal judgments, forgeries, fraud and a host of other potential legal/financial problems that can arise when purchasing or refinancing property.

How much does Title Insurance cost?

The one-time premium is directly related to the value of your home. Typically, it is less expensive than your annual auto insurance. It is a one-time only expense, paid when you purchase your home. Yet it continues to provide complete coverage for as long as you, or your heirs, own the property.

BESTTITLE TITLE COMPANY INSURANCE CARD RATES The premiums listed are based on the promulgated rate.

The premium for a policy amount not listed below can be obtained by contacting Best Title Company.

Memorial Hospital’s DeMassi honored Christopher R. DeMassi, M.D., dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com Medical Director of the Memorial Neuroscience Institute Spine Center of Memorial Healthcare System, was among 1,823 initiates worldwide to become a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).

DeMassi received this honor during the Convocation Ceremony at the College’s 2016 annual Clinical Congress in Washington, D.C., where reports on research in progress, postgraduate courses, panel discussions and scientific exhibits were featured.

“I am honored to be inducted into this prestigious organization that was

founded in the early 1900s and is recognized as being an authority on quality surgical expertise and education around the nation,” DeMassi said.

As a member of the Memorial Neuroscience Institute, DeMassi has been leading the development of the spine center at Memorial Neuroscience Institute.

He was an important part of the team that helped certify the epilepsy program as a Level 4 epilepsy center

by NAEC. He was also the first neurosurgeon in South Florida to implant the NeuroPace device and has done these procedures with this technology, which is described by the center as being similar to a heart pacemaker but for the brain.

BY DARLENE PISTOCCHI

COMMUNITY INTEREST CORRESPONDENT darlene@hollywoodgazette.com

Amidst all the talk of CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com building a wall in national news, local resident Bettina August is focused on one here in the heart of Hollywood instead. August has launched the “Paint the Ugly Wall” campaign to beautify a mildew-ridden concrete wall on the north side of Sheridan Street east of I-95.

Her goal is to have a nauticallythemed mural on the wall so that the 45,000 cars passing every day get a sense of the ocean off Hollywood Beach. The concept has been approved by the city commissioners and state transportation officials, but only if she can raise the money to pay for it.

“People in the neighborhood want to make their corner of Hollywood nicer,” August said.

The wall acts as a sound barrier for a neighborhood west of Oakwood Plaza but also serves as an inviting palette for graffiti, which has been painted over several times.

August and others in the community are working to raise $50,000 to

BY DAVID VOLZ

pay for the mural. She wants the wall to show the underwater environment off Hollywood. It will include sea life and seawater.

“This is what you would see if you walked into the water,” August said.

She has set up a GoFundMe account and created a page on Facebook called “Paint the Ugly Wall” in hopes that it will help bring in donations for the project. Commissioners Richard Blattner and Kevin Beiderman are supportive of the project.

The Facebook page describes August’s vision for the mural when it’s done: “A person walking on the sidewalk would experience what it would be like walking into the sea.

The individual could start at the east end of the wall with beach sand and surf and move into the light turquoise water and go deeper to the first reef past snorkelers, moving deeper past divers and sea life. The water gets deeper and bluer until the end of the wall is reached.”

Visit https://www.gofundme.com/ paintthewall to donate to the effort.

Find the guy or gal of your dreams at the “Adopt a Sweetheart” event at the Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC), 2070 Griffin Road, on Feb. 11-12.

There will be a variety of fourlegged blondes, brunettes and redheads all looking for their perfect Valentine. Adoption kennels will Sugar open at 10:30 a.m.

"We have oodles of precious sweethearts just waiting for you," says Cherie Wachter, vice president of marketing for HSBC. "Adopt any pet six months of age or older and Cupid will do the rest — starting with cutting the adoption fee in half.”

Regular adoption fees for pets over six months are $100 for dogs, $30 for cats and $50 for rabbits, she said.

Friendly game of hoops builds bonds between police, students A group of Hollywood police CORRESPONDENT dvolz@hollywoodgazette.com officers recently took on the Driftwood Middle School basketball team in a friendly game at the school. The Driftwood team — made up of members of the school’s boys’ and girls’ basketball team – defeated the police officers, 44-39.

While the game was fun and competitive, an important goal was to create a positive bond among members of the Hollywood Police Department and the students. Leaders of the Hollywood Police Department, including Chief Tomas Sanchez, attended the game.

“We want to build a positive relationship between the police department and the students,” said Patrick Agenor, a school resource officer at Driftwood Middle School. “This was a great opportunity to have some fun and build

Join the 19th Annual 'Walk 2 Stop Hunger' in Hollywood

BY DARLENE PISTOCCHI

COMMUNITY INTEREST CORRESPONDENT darlene@hollywoodgazette.com

The Jubilee Center's 19th Annual Walk 2 Stop Hunger will be held on March 5 from 3-5 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 1704 Buchanan St. "The event brings together a variety of organizations, civic groups, congregations, families, friends, and other individuals to help their neighbors in need," says LeAnna Vasquez, executive director of the Jubilee Center of South Broward.

Event organizers hope to have 150 sponsored walkers, collect 500 pounds of canned food and raise $18,000 at the 1.7-mile walking event. Participants are asked to bring a minimum of two cans of food to help build the biggest food pyramid.

"We are a soup kitchen, food pantry, and social services agency that has been meeting the needs of the hungry for more than 25 years,” Vasquez said.

The center currently serves nearly 2,600 hot meals every month and almost 31,000 a year. Still, she said, food insecurity remains a threat to many in the community.

As the need for food and a place to serve it to the poor continues to be critical, Walk 2 Stop Hunger confronts the issue by raising funds to support the center's soup kitchen and food pantry.

Sponsorship Vasquez says sponsorships are a critical part of this event. "Becoming a sponsor is an opportunity for your organization to support people in 28

February 2016

need in Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach and throughout Broward County."

Sponsors not only help the overall goal, but they also gain valuable visibility for products and/or services.

"In addition to being a sponsor, you and/or your company can organize a team of walkers to raise money," Vasquez says. "This is a wonderful opportunity for team-building and community relations."

Sponsorship levels range from $100 to 1,000. Anyone interested is encouraged to enlist friends, family and local retail shops and stores to sponsor their participation.

The Walk Walkers will travel around the perimeter of Hollywood Beach Golf Course, Vasquez says. After the walk, a meal and refreshments will be served and there will be music and a performance by the nationally recognized Watkins Elementary School Dance Team.

“In 2016, our walkers, donors, and sponsors raised thousands of dollars to support the Jubilee Center," Vasquez said. "However, the need continues to be great so please join us. Every walker makes a difference and will benefit the much-needed feeding programs and social services we provide. " Pledge forms for recording sponsors are available. For more information, contact the Jubilee Center at 954-920-0106, email jubileehwd@ hotmail.com or visit www.jubileecenterbroward.org.
