BE PREPARED! places anywhere can match the wonderful, “ Few year-round climate and natural beauty that we enjoy in South Florida. But our paradise can become perilous when hurricane force winds rip through our neighborhoods.

Last year, the massive destruction and power outages from Hurricane Irma lasted for weeks. And Irma wasn’t even the highest category storm when it hit us.

That’s why I’m urging all residents to read the L A M A R F I S H E R LO G O O P T I O N S - PAG E 2 Broward County Hurricane Preparedness Guide now – before the next storm comes.

Broward.org/Hurricane has important pre-storm checklists and other valuable information including 1 the locations of shelters for you and your pets.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT 2500 N. Federal Highway | 954-783-4711 *A Vertical Rewards Elite Checking Account (the “Account”) is a variable interest rate account. During the first 3 statement cycles following account opening (the “Introductory Period”), the annual percentage yield (”APY”) for daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, may be a maximum of 2.00% APY, provided that a direct deposit via ACH has posted to the Account each statement cycle. If a direct deposit does not post to the Account during a statement cycle during the Introductory Period, all daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, will earn the base interest rate of .50% APY (“Base Interest Rate”) for that statement cycle, and the Account will still be eligible to earn rewards during the next cycle. After the Introductory Period, the APY on daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, in the Account may range from .50% APY to 2.00% APY depending upon (i) a direct deposit via ACH posting to the Account and (ii) the number of qualifying banking services (“Qualifying Services”) performed each statement cycle. If the direct deposit and/or the minimum number of Qualifying Services are not met during a statement cycle, all daily collected balances, up to and including $250,000, will earn the Base Interest Rate for that statement cycle. APYs stated herein are accurate as of 10/10/2018. APYs stated herein are established

by BankUnited, N.A. (“BankUnited”) in its sole discretion and may change at any time. Balances greater than $250,000 are not eligible to, and will not, earn interest or rewards. Minimum opening deposit is $5,000. Transactions must post and settle to the Account during the applicable statement cycle.

Banking services transactions may take one or more business days from the transaction date to post to the Account. A $20 monthly maintenance fee will be assessed if the average balance in the Account falls below $5,000 during a statement cycle. A $15 early closeout fee will be assessed if the Account is closed within 6 months of the account opening date. Fees may reduce earnings. Additional fees, terms and conditions apply. Please refer to our applicable product disclosures, Depositor’s Agreement and Schedule of Fees for additional information.

CREATIVELY SPEAKING

BY SUSAN ROSSER

Lessons from My Brief, College Greek Life I was thrown out of my sorority. Well, technically I was never initiated as a sister into the sorority I pledged as a senior. Later the school administration demanded I be reinstated; but I declined. This story is frankly, just too common; the group I attempted to join portrayed itself as honorable, but did not uphold the values the members professed to espouse.

Anyway, the president of the Delta Lambda chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma met me outside our last pledge meeting. She and her cronies informed me I would not be initiated. This might seem awful, but it really wasn’t as bad as it sounds.

Apparently, I had not taken pledging seriously (true).

They listed a slew of requirements I failed to fulfill (true): I never interviewed all of the sisters; I was often spotted around campus without my pledge pin (totally true); I refused to fetch drinks for my sisters at parties and so on.

Conversely, my “big sister” and best friend made sure I fulfilled my community service requirement. Together, we visited Mr. Freund, an elderly German immigrant who lived in a nearby nursing home. With a boyish smirk, he told us stories about the fruelines back home. We listened and laughed. The sorority boasted of their scholarship and service, and visiting Mr. Freund was rewarding for me too.

I am no angel. And had my best friend not insisted we go to the nursing home together, I might have blown off that requirement as well as it often interfered with nap time.

None of the other pledges in my class ever visited the nursing home; but they did religiously wear their pledge pins around campus and could always be counted on to grab a beer for a sister. I explained to my accusers that I chose what was important to me and I was comfortable with my decisions. I was surprised that wearing pledge pins and fetching drinks superseded the commitment to community service. At the end of our little confrontation, I told them they had misplaced values and walked off without making a fuss.

26

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

| lhpmag.com

From the get go, I found the process petty, bewildering and often times downright mean.

During one interview, I sat facing a tribunal of my future sisters seated behind a banquet table — an arrangement clearly designed for intimidation. Again, their values were misaligned from my own. I clearly communicated my disdain then, and at other times.

Yet, I had little power to change their views concerning ways I could contribute to the group.

Thanks to my involvement in my class executive council, I had come to know the Dean of Students. I made an appointment and told him about my abrupt expulsion from Phi Sigma Sigma. He asked if my parents were concerned about this mess because they paid all of my sorority fees. (Years later, my mother told me she only agreed through the fog of chemotherapy.)

Of course I told him they were upset (they were) and that they wanted their money back (they did). I also told him I was a second semester senior with one foot out the door. With graduation only weeks away, I knew who my friends were.

We talked about the young women who relayed the chapter’s decision — they were not particularly kind.

He and I agreed that while I was able to walk away from Greek life without a care in the world, surely a young freshman girl would be far worse off. The truth is, while I was OK and I did see the humor in the whole fiasco, it did sting a little. No one likes rejection.

I worry about sororities, fraternities, sports teams and service groups — are they truly focused on the service and missions they stand for, or competing just for popularity and other gains? I risk condemning all groups with my point, but I want a culture where service to each other and the greater community is more important than pledge pins. Perhaps I should have joined the circus?

With small business owners reporting that marketing is one of their biggest business challenges, the UPS Store offers advice and consultation for small business owners on how to streamline marketing efforts.

Outré Theater Company Presents “The Christians” In Outré’s last season of works at the Pompano Cultural Center, the theater company performed an intriguing — and often controversial— series of shows, including Orwell’s “1984,” a Green Day rock opera called“American Idiot,” a feminist take on Reservoir Dogs called “Reservoir Dolls” and a musical about a transgender rockstar, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”

In Outré’s upcoming production of “The Christians” Outré will explore faith, belief and the seemingly insurmountable distance that separates us.

“This play, while set in a Protestant Christian church, creates a dialogue that transcends religion, and is incredibly poignant at this time in our nation,” said Skye Whitcomb, Outré’s Artistic Director and the director of the production. “The thing that strikes me most about ‘The Christians’ is that for all the struggle that the characters go through, there is no ‘bad guy.’ Every one of these characters is coming from a place of personal truth, of belief, and they struggle with reconciling the differences in their beliefs. There’s this heartbreaking distance

between them that tugs at the soul. And one of the most wrenching questions that the play forces us to contemplate is what we should do when those we love believe something that is not only different from what we believe, but believe something that we feel is actually dangerous.”

JM Family Campus Headquarters Will Undergo a $150 million Renovation in Deerfield Beach

BY DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU

PHOTO BY JOE YERKOVICH

JM Family Enterprises is launching a $150 million headquarters campus renovation and expansion in Deerfield Beach. The renovation is projected to take three years and will transform the grounds into a pedestrian-oriented campus with eight structures, including three office buildings, a

two-story dining hall, a 20,000-square-foot sports complex, 900-vehicle parking garage and a 55,000-square-foot conference and training center. The plans include demolition of seven out of eleven of the current campus buildings. JM Family Enterprises announced the renovation in a press release on April 18. The campus overhaul coincides with the organization’s 50th Anniversary celebration “Our intention is to reinvest in our company, our loyal associates, and our headquarters in Deerfield Beach,” said Colin Brown, chairman and CEO. “JM Family has called Deerfield Beach home since 1981 and these plans reaffirm our

commitment to this city, the community and our role in the local economy. We know that these efforts will modernize the way we work and build an even stronger and more unified JM Family.”

JM Family Enterprises, Inc. is a $15.1 billion diversified automotive company with more than 4,200 associates across North America. The Deerfield headquarters is home to more than 1,200 associates from JM Family Enterprises, Southeast Toyota Distributors, Southeast Toyota Finance and JM&A Group.

The current campus includes 11 buildings and on-site services including a health and wellness center, fitness center, two company subsidized cafes, a salon and the JM family center — a 15,000 square-foot facility with nine classrooms, an art studio, parent resource center, outdoor play area and vegetable garden. All of these amenities will be incorporated into the new campus.

“JM Family’s existing facilities are an eclectic mix of buildings, some of which we designed and built ourselves, and others we acquired along Jim Moran Blvd,” said Mike Tiufekchiev, vice president of Enterprise Services for JM Family. “Our facilities have served us well, however, some of our buildings are dated and require significant improvements in order to bring them up to modern levels of efficiency and functionality. The decision to upgrade our existing campus has been in the design stage for several years and the timing to move forward now with construction was ideal, as it coincided with our 50th Anniversary celebration.”

City Seeks to Protect Its Interests from Federal Highway Bike Lane Project

BY MARIE PULEO City officials have been working to stave off the possible negative impacts of a bike lane project that is being proposed along Federal Highway from Sample Road to the Palm Beach County line.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in conjunction with the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), plans to widen the existing 3-foot-wide northbound and southbound bike lanes, but the City opposed a project design that would have encroached on 57 trees that Lighthouse Point established and maintains along the east side of Federal Highway, as well as 11 trees in the median area.

The project design required widening the outside (righthand) lanes of the highway by 1 foot and taking 2 feet from either side of the median area, in order to create 6-foot-wide bike lanes that include a buffer zone.

Among the trees threatened by the project were 45 royal palm trees that the City planted about 20 years ago to improve the Federal Highway corridor, and create a “signature” Lighthouse Point feature. The trees were paid for by the City,

48

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

| lhpmag.com

property owners and store owners. According to the city’s Public Works Department, the royal palms have a current estimated replacement value of approximately $8,000 each.

The project’s original concept called for widening the outside lanes of the highway by 4 feet in order to create a 7-foot-wide bike lane, which would have impacted many more Lighthouse Point trees.

According to city officials, when they first met with FDOT a couple of months ago to discuss the project, they made it clear that it was “absolutely unacceptable” to remove the trees.

Not long after, city officials became alarmed after noticing the royal palms and other trees had been marked with pink ribbons. FDOT informed them that the trees had been marked for a survey related to the bike lane project.

The City Commission discussed the project for the first time at its meeting on Sept. 12, and was of the consensus that something needed to be done as quickly as possible.

Commissioner Michael Long said he was concerned that the City would lose not only all the royal palms and hardwoods it “worked very hard to have,” but also all the low-lying landscaping.

“I think that what we have to do is really move forward very aggressively to protect what is ours,” said Long.

Soon after, city officials had another meeting with FDOT, at which they reiterated their opposition to removing the trees.

At the City’s request, Scott Thurman, the FDOT project manager, and Ricardo Gutierrez, an MPO program manager, presented an update on the status of the project at the City Commission meeting on Oct. 9.

The project, which has an estimated cost of $12 million, is an MPO “priority project” that will use state funding.

Thurman said FDOT and the MPO had been discussing the City’s concerns (as well as those of Deerfield Beach, which is also affected by the project) to see if options could be found to both accommodate the bike lanes and keep the trees.

“I realize that the aesthetic nature of the corridor is significant,” said Thurman.

One option that was being considered had called for reducing the width of the left-hand through lanes (not the left turn lanes), from 11 feet to 10 feet by restriping them, which would have provided 4-foot-wide bike lanes, with no buffer.

While this option would have only increased the width of >>>

Lighthouse Point’s Longtime Fire Code Official Retires

BY MARIE PULEO Steve Bilka, who was the city’s Fire Code Official and plan reviewer for the past 15 years, has retired.

In addition to conducting fire inspections, he was responsible for reviewing the plans for all new residential and commercial construction in the city, working closely with the building department and meeting with contractors. He made sure that city, state and national fire codes were being enforced.

Bilka started his career with the Lighthouse Point Fire Department as a firefighter paramedic over 27 years ago, after coming out of the fire academy.

He said he has enjoyed seeing the city change over the years with all the new construction, renovations to parks and roads, and upgrades in fire protection throughout the city.

“There have just been so many improvements,” said Bilka.

He said he has found “a lot of satisfaction saving lives and protecting property in the city.” He is now looking forward to enjoying “life after the fire service” with his wife Karen – boating, fishing and traveling to places like Bora Bora and Tahiti in the South Pacific. Y

<<< the current bike lanes by 1 foot, it would have allowed them to be designated, striped bike lanes with signage, which requires a minimum 4-foot width. The current 3-foot-wide bike lanes are considered a paved shoulder, not true bike lanes.

The restriping option would not have impacted the trees along the corridor and would have decreased the project cost by more than one-half, according to Thurman.

At the same time, the MPO had been looking to see what could be done to maximize the footprint of the bike lanes.

It wanted them to be buffered, to provide bicyclists with a higher comfort level.

Gutierrez said the MPO has been trying to implement what is known as a “complete streets” project, which is designed to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders. Complete streets typically include fewer traffic lanes, wider sidewalks and bike lanes, medians and landscaping.

Commissioner Sandy Johnson noted that “massacring the landscaping” was the opposite of the complete streets concept.

Commissioner Long questioned the need for a complete streets project on Federal Highway, which has high speeds and high traffic.

Commission President Jason Joffe said he was concerned about the trees, but was more concerned about traffic, because traffic is bad, and “I don’t see how you do this without shrinking lanes.”

Johnson, concerned about the safety hazard posed by shrinking lanes, asked Gutierrez to find out if it had been done along Federal Highway in any neighboring areas.

Gutierrez told commissioners that although the project plans were about 60 percent complete, there was still time to evaluate various options..

“We want to come up with a solution that you will support,” he said.

About a week after the Oct. 9 meeting, FDOT and the MPO came up with an option that would take 2 feet from either side of the approximately 20-foot-wide median area – comprised of the left-hand turn lanes and the landscaped traffic separator – and nothing from the outside lanes, which would create 5-foot-wide designated bike lanes with no buffer. This plan would involve narrowing the left-hand turn lanes from their current width of about 13 feet, to a width of 11, or possibly 10, feet.

This option would impact a total of 11 Lighthouse Point trees, all in the median area, but no royal palms. Seven of the trees could be relocated on the project site using state funds.

The City would have the option to place the four remaining trees, mahoganies which are costly to relocate, somewhere within the city using its own funds.

FDOT and MPO are scheduled to come before the City Commission at its meeting on Nov. 13 to present the new plan.

If the Commission supports it, work would likely begin in August 2019, and take about one year to complete. Y

An Update on the Reuse Irrigation Project in Lighthouse Point – PHASE TWO

BY MARIE PULEO Phase 2 of the City of Pompano Beach reuse water pipeline installation project is just getting under way in Lighthouse Point’s marina area. The work will be carried out by the contractor Roadway Construction, and is expected to take about four months to complete, including street repaving, according to the Pompano Beach Utilities Department.

Approximately 7,125 linear feet of reuse water main piping will be constructed in an area bounded on the south by NE 27th Street (Marina Drive), on the north

by NE 28th Court, on the west by NE 26th Avenue and the east by NE 30th Avenue. There will be one lane closure at a time, with work likely being done one street at a time. Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic.

The project is part of an effort to establish a reuse water system, known as OASIS, for properties in Lighthouse Point that obtain water from Pompano Beach Utilities, which is generally the southernmost portion of the city.

Once the system is in place, all customers in the affected service area will be required to use only reuse water to irrigate their lawns and landscaping, rather than drinking water (also known as potable water).

The majority of the trunk line was installed during the first phase of the project. Phase 2 involves laying smaller distribution mains, as well as service lines that lead to each residence, and placing meter boxes for reuse water.

Phase 2 of the project will result in 49 single-family and multi-family homes being connected to reuse water. Owners of single-family homes will only incur a cost to connect to reuse water if they have a well on their property. For owners of multi-family homes, the cost to connect will be their responsibility.

A public meeting will be held for the customers affected by the project to provide them with information about the changeover from potable water to reuse water for irrigation. Before Phase 2 is completed, the City of Pompano will send out notices with the date, time and location of the meeting.

As of Oct. 1, 2018, reuse water costs 93 cents per 1,000 gallons for usage of 0-20,000 gallons, compared to potable water, which is $2.44 per 1,000 gallons for usage of 0-10,000 gallons. With reuse water, there are no sewer charges.

The project will have three more phases, and upon completion, will produce approximately 490 reuse customers resulting in 0.6 to 1.0 MGD (million gallons per day) of potable water saved. Y

City Commission Adopts New Budget

BY MARIE PULEO At its Sept. 24 meeting, the City Commission adopted a budget of $19,625,817 for fiscal year 2018/19, which began on Oct. 1, 2018.

The Commission approved an operating millage rate of 3.5893, which is the same rate that has been used since fiscal year 2011/12, and is the third-lowest in the county.

Even though the operating millage rate did not increase, taxable property values have gone up 7.19 percent, which means the City will receive more tax revenue. Therefore, levying the same operating millage rate is considered a tax increase.

The additional $577,657 that will be generated by using the same millage rate will support general operations of the City, said Finance Director Frank DiPaolo. The overall cost of salaries and benefits increased by 7.2 percent compared to the last fiscal year. This increase includes $250,000 budgeted for the transition of police and fire personnel to the Florida Retirement System pension plan.

The debt service millage rate – which provides resources for the debt associated with a General Obligation Bond issue in 2002 – decreased from 0.1910 to 0.1730. Therefore, the total millage rate assessed against properties is 3.7623, an overall decrease of 0.48 percent when compared to the previous fiscal year.

The Commission also approved the five separate budget funds included in the City’s overall budget: General Fund ($16,177,892, including police and fire), Tennis Center Fund ($242,206), Garbage and Trash Fund ($2,107,500), Debt Service Fund ($407,719) and the Stormwater Utility Fund ($690,500).

The Fire Protection Special Assessment was increased from $120.34 to $134.50 for single-family dwellings, which will provide $100,000 of additional revenue to cover the rising costs of salaries, benefits and equipment.

Although there was no change to the Stormwater Special Assessment, which is $60 per year for single-family homes, the Stormwater Utility Fund more than doubled to cover expenditures for infrastructure capital improvement projects.

The Garbage and Trash Fund had an increase of about 20 percent due to a residential rate increase requested by Waste Management, the city’s contracted waste hauler. Initially, Waste Management wanted a monthly increase of $14 per household, but the City was able to negotiate a monthly increase of $6.24 per household. Y

Newly Minted Street Signs Are Installed Along Intracoastal Drive

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

| lhpmag.com

The streets along the Intracoastal Waterway that the City recently renamed “Intracoastal Drive” now have signs that bear their new designation.

A total of 30 signs were installed at 15 intersections along NE 24th Street, NE 30th Avenue, NE 31st Avenue and NE 48th Street by Broward County in September.

Two Lighthouse Point residents were behind the proposal to rename the streets – Lighthouse Point-based realtor Kevin Kreutzfeld and former mayor Leo Bentz.

The idea originated with Kreutzfeld, who sells homes exclusively in excess of $1 million. During a conversation with Bentz, he noted that the most high-end and affluent neighborhoods around South Florida, and the country, have street names instead of numbered streets. He told Bentz, “You could be living on Intracoastal Drive instead of 31st Avenue.”

Bentz presented the idea to the City Commission in March, and three months later, a resolution was passed to rename the streets.

Kreutzfeld said Bentz was “the driving force of taking my idea and actually making it happen.”

The object was to enhance the prestige of the street and the neighborhood, and possibly help increase property values.

Kreutzfeld said residents who live on the newly named Intracoastal Drive were very supportive of the project and are pleased and excited with the outcome because they all benefit by it.

“There is far more appeal to living on a street with a name versus a numbered street,” he said.

Bentz, who pledged to raise the funds necessary to purchase and install the new street signs, has received offers from neighbors to help with the estimated $2,900 cost of the project. Y

Gratitude is the Attitude

BY DR. JILL SELBACH THE END OF THE YEAR IS DRAWING NEAR. THE HOLIDAYS ARE APPROACHING. THERE IS SO MUCH NEGATIVITY THAT WE ARE EXPOSED TO FROM RADIO, television, social media. Tensions are running high and stress levels are piquing. The political climate in our country is tense, to say the least. Thanksgiving is right around the corner. In North America all the way back to ancient times people have given thanks, celebrated a good harvest and held ceremonies hoping for good fortune and future bounty. In the present time our national

Thanksgiving celebrations blend traditions from the customs of New England, celebrating a bountiful harvest, and from the ancient English harvest festivals and Puritan Thanksgiving traditions, which were very solemn, religious-based observances that included prayer and a feast.

When I think of Thanksgiving I think of gratitude.

Gratitude is an emotion expressing appreciation for what you have — meaning you spend time really thinking about what you have and experiencing that deep feeling

of gratefulness. People today spend much time thinking about what we “want,” “need” or how “if we only had this we would be happy.”

The truth is the way to make yourself happy is to be grateful for what you have. There are many studies that have found that people who habitually feel gratitude are less likely to feel worried and depressed. They feel a greater sense of satisfaction about life. When we focus on how fortunate we are instead of what we are lacking, or what we wish we had, or what others’ have, we WILL be happier.

Do you ever notice the people around you who focus on the negative, what is missing, why something can’t be done, the one thing that isn’t right about a situation? Do these people seem to find joy in life? Do they seem happy?

Does their negative energy make you happy?

Research has shown that gratitude has benefits.

Being a grateful person and thanking those around you draws people to you. Grateful people have fewer physical complaints and negative emotions such as envy, resentment, regret and frustration. This translates to decreased depression and increased happiness.

A study conducted at the University of Kentucky found participants who ranked higher on gratitude scales were less likely to retaliate against others, even when given negative feedback. High gratitude people were more sensitive and empathic toward others. Thus, decreasing behaviors with revenge in mind. Better sleep, self-esteem and mental strength are also correlated with being grateful.

So, there doesn’t appear to be a real downside to this practice. Why not give it a try starting this Thanksgiving with people you come in contact with, your family and friends. Or better yet! Why wait? Start practicing. How do we become someone who is full of gratitude?

1. Pay it Forward.

Do something meaningful and kind for someone that you really appreciate in your life. It can be something as simple as holding open a door for someone or >>>

2. Surround yourself with people you want to be like.

The more exposure to something we have, the more likely it will become a part of us. This doesn’t only have to work in the negative direction (negative peer pressure). If you are around kind, motivated people you will be more kind and motivated. Seek these people out.

For example, when we surround ourselves with health conscious people we tend to be more health conscious.

3. Put it on paper.

Research has shown that keeping a gratitude journal where you jot down once per week the things you are grateful for, can increase energy and positivity. Look for the little things in life that bring you satisfaction and joy.

4. Talk to yourself and others using the right words.

This is a very important premise. It is the key to changing our thinking, which in turn changes how we feel. This is what hypnosis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are built upon. Send positive messages to yourself and others, focus your thoughts on the positive.

A book written by Andrew Newberg, M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman, Words Can Change Your Brain, postulates that positive words can alter the expression of genes, strengthening areas in the frontal lobes and improving the brain’s cognitive functioning.

5. Refresh your memory and talk about it.

It is far too easy for most of us to conjure up a negative memory. But remembering the kind deeds of others, the people who have helped you in a difficult time, is so important. Reviewing these memories promotes a sense of gratitude. If you share these memories with others it really reinforces these feelings of gratitude. Make talking about your gratefulness a year round event, not just at Thanksgiving.

6. Don’t be afraid to put it in writing.

Think of people who were influential in your life and others for which you are grateful. Write them a note to formally let them know how you feel about them and what they have done for you. It is a win-win. The effects are positive for the author and who wouldn’t love to receive such a letter? Y Studies confirm that we can develop gratitude. It has positive effects on the individual engaging in this practice and for the people around them. Make a commitment to do this for yourself.

This explains why I dream all night long. (And a good part of the day.)

Men are six times more likely to be hit by lightning than women.

Is it because they generally are taller? Anyway, this is why I send my wife to the store during thunderstorms.

To compensate for this, in the interests of her safety I have stopped buying jewelry for her, since each year in the U.S. more than 50,000 people are injured by “bling.”

machines falling on them. That is why I have my wife operate the mechanical serial killers. I know what you’re thinking, but you are wrong. It’s because she is quicker on her feet than I am.

I have stopped buying lottery tickets since I learned that the chances of dying while en-route to purchase them is far greater than the chance of winning.

In New York it is illegal to sell a haunted house without telling the prospective buyer. How often does this come up?

Under the Code of Hammurabi, bartenders who watered down beer were executed. We should take it a step further and execute the makers of “light” beer. It’s the same thing.

The Russian army’s favorite marching song is the theme from SpongeBob SquarePants. This makes sense, since SpongeBob has a tendency to break into Squidward’s house without his consent, much like the Russians breaking into our computers.

A frog can suffocate if it keeps its mouth open for too long. If this applied to people, I have several friends who would be dead.

During your lifetime you will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools. Why you would want to swim in spit is beyond me.

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handers.

Every year more than 2,500 left-handed people are killed by using right-handed products. This may explain the previous statistic.

In France it is legal to marry a dead person. Since they’re French, maybe they only think they’re dead.

Between 10 and 15 folks are killed each year by vending

If you keep a goldfish in a dark room, it will turn pale. Big deal, so will you.

In Britain, a pregnant woman may urinate anywhere she likes, including into a policeman’s helmet. San Francisco has done them one better, giving this right to everyone. (Well, maybe not the helmet part.)

If you are planning to get a pet, consider this: Between 2004 and 2015 in the U.S. there were 10 cases of dogs shooting their owners, but only one case involving a cat.

10X Your Life!

BY CRAIG HALEY

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT WRITTEN ABOUT SETTING GOALS, WORKING HARD AND NEVER GIVING UP. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU READ ABOUT THESE TOPICS HAS SOME validity and makes sense. I think we have all heard the acronym for SMART Goals: • Realistic • Specific • Time dated • Measurable • Attainable That is all well and good, however most people will look only at the attainable and realistic and limit themselves. They will start thinking,“Well, this goal isn’t realistic for me. Sure, Jeff Bezos or Richard Branson can hit much higher levels, but they are Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson.”

I’m going to encourage you to 10X your goals and your life!

What is 10X you ask? It is enhancing your life, your goals, your lifestyle by a factor of 10.

The truly successful people in the world look at success as their duty, obligation and responsibility. They are ALL IN on hitting their targets.

10X is not about making money, although it could be if that is your goal. It’s about improving all aspects of your life: • Your grades in school or • Your attitude your career • Your fitness • Your relationships Someone who is committed to 10X’ing their life never assumes the goal is too big or unattainable. They know if they are not hitting the target, they simply need to take more action. Here is the key: MASSIVE ACTION = MASSIVE RESULTS How can you 10X your life? Here are some suggestions.

10X YOUR ATTITUDE: Read a positive book every day for 20 minutes, listen to an inspiring podcast every day, surround yourself with encouraging, “can do” people.

Zig Ziglar says, “Motivation is like bathing, it’s best that you do it every day!” 10X means do the above seven days per week. You do shower on the weekends, don’t you?

10X YOUR FITNESS: Drink a gallon of water every day, exercise six days per week, eliminate processed foods.

Jillian Michaels says, “If it doesn’t come from the ground or have a mother, you shouldn’t eat it.”

10X YOUR RELATIONSHIPS: Schedule family time more frequently, have a date night with your significant other once

64

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

| lhpmag.com

per week, send five gratitude messages per week to people you are grateful for.

I once read that gratitude is the antidote to worry, so if something is bothering you or keeping you up at night, express more gratitude and watch what happens to those annoying, worrisome thoughts.

10X YOUR GRADES (KIDS) AND/OR CAREER: Schedule time to study and do your homework, schedule your most important tasks first thing in the morning to make sure they get done, set “50-minute power blocks” to work on your most important projects and eliminate all distractions and interruptions (Yes, that means turning off your phone!).

Still not sold on the 10X idea?

Think of it this way. Say your goal is to make $100,000 per year and you hit it. Great job! You hit your goal.

Now say you set a 10X income goal of $1,000,000, and you take massive action, bust your butt, and give it everything you got. You burn the midnight oil, burn the boats so there is no turning back, and you come up short. Say you “only” earned $300,000 that year.

Which person still made out better?

Best selling author Grant Cardone says, “When you get committed, you get creative.” When you get creative on how to hit your 10X goals, you make major shifts in everything you do. 10X it baby!!

TO THE POINT LEGAL MATTERS

Out of State Legal Documents ARE THEY VALID IN FLORIDA?

BY MARTIN ZEVIN, ATTORNEY AS MANY OF OUR SNOWBIRDS COME BACK TO FLORIDA, A COMMON QUESTION IS: DO MY LEGAL PAPERS FROM ANOTHER STATE WORK IN FLORIDA? WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS, THE ANSWER IS NO. There are three main documents that protect you in Florida if you become incapacitated: designation of health care surrogate, written declaration, also known as living will and the durable power of attorney. Other states may have different names for these documents, but their substance is similar: you are designating one or more persons to take care of making medical decisions for you if you are unable to communicate and to take care of your legal and financial affairs if you become incapacitated.

Every state is like a different country. Each state has its own laws and regulations regarding these three documents. The law in Florida is very clear regarding language, required references to specific Florida statutes, HIPAA compliant language for the health care surrogate and requirements for initialing specific powers for which the durable power of attorney will apply. It is unlikely that you can find online the appropriate language necessary to create documents that will be effective in Florida. Our current durable power of attorney document is 26 pages to assure it conforms to the new Florida law. If you have similar documents from another state, it is likely that they will not be valid in Florida.

Therefore, for my snowbird clients who divide their time primarily between two states, I recommend a set of documents for Florida and another set for the other state. This will provide protection should you become incapacitated in either state. You will not have to worry if you’re out-of-state documents will be honored.

If you have a last will and testament that has been properly executed in another state, and you die in Florida, that will is valid and can be filed in the Florida probate courts. However, it becomes much more time consuming, costly and difficult to probate an out-of-state will in Florida. A commissioner in the other state needs to be appointed by the Florida judge. The

66

LIGHTHOUSE POINT

| lhpmag.com

commissioner must take the sworn testimony of one of the witnesses to the will before it can be admitted to the Florida probate court. Sometimes, particularly if the will was done awhile ago, the witnesses cannot be located. If you have a Florida will and it is properly executed and notarized, these extra requirements and court orders will not be necessary.

Therefore, to make it easier, faster and less expensive to probate, you should consider making a new Florida will, particularly if you are now a Florida resident.

If you wish to avoid probate on real estate that you own in Florida and in another state, it is a good idea to consider a Florida revocable living trust and a deed to transfer your Florida property into the trust. When you return to the other state, have a lawyer do a deed transferring that property to the Florida trust. This will avoid two separate probates in two states upon your death.

This is just a brief summary of the law and why it is advisable to have Florida documents. I always offer a free consultation to review your current documents, whether from Florida or another state, and give specific advice regarding your circumstances.

BETH: And we’re supposed to find ways to do that in only 50 billion years. Our projections show -RUDY: You want to talk projections? Good. Let’s talk projections.

First you decided on an Applause Gene, so they’d all hear applause inside, then crave it from others. Then you decided on only two genders instead of the standard six.

Worse, you then decided to make the male gender physically stronger than the female. It never even occurred to you that men would end up telling women how to live, how to dress, and probably wouldn’t even permit them to read or write. And your projection?

MALCOLM: We don’t think – RUDY: I’ll say you don’t! And when this race forms governments, the men probably won’t let the women vote, either!

Now, let’s talk about another projection.

Pigmentation.

MALCOLM: Irrelevant.

RUDY: Irrelevant?!

BETH: Rudy, their brains are almost as big as ours. And their love gene is one of the most powerful we’ve ever implanted. And what difference does skin color make?

RUDY: Oh, I see! When they meet each other, they’ll applaud each other! Somebody wake me from this nightmare. I can’t believe we hired you two! Different skin color has decimated every planet where it occurred!

MALCOLM: They didn’t have the brains, the – RUDY: We have brains! The committee has brains! And their collective brains foresee disaster. At the end of this session, we’ll watch a little movie. For now, let’s move to another projection.

Agriculture.

MALCOLM: It has already begun.

RUDY: Yes, something you neglected to tell me, but guess whose ass got chewed out over it?

MALCOLM: (TO BETH) I told you he’d find out. (CALMLY) We

believe the discovery of agriculture will cut at least a half-billion years off the planet’s development.

RUDY: (EXPLODING) At what cost? We were all told explicitly that our efforts do not give us license to tamper with institutions that have always been deemed inviolable by our Constitution!

BETH: Rudy, let’s work together here. Let’s find ways to lop off two billion years. Please. Together.

RUDY: Together? Fine. Let’s work together then. Tell me, what happens to a race when they discover agriculture?

BETH: They settle down.

MALCOLM: They no longer have to hunt for food because they can now grow their own.

RUDY: Yes! They grow their own! Then what?

BETH: They form little communities.

RUDY: Good. Great! And then what?

SILENCE. MALCOLM AND BETH LOOK AT EACH OTHER. RUDY: C’mon, guys, we’re working together here, right? What happens after they form little communities?

MORE SILENCE. MALCOLM: (RESIGNEDLY) Boundaries.

RUDY: Boundaries! Yes, boundaries. Which become countries.

Which give birth to leaders. And suddenly these vaunted leaders have disputes over these artificial boundaries. And guess what follows that? Wars. Wars!

BETH: But they don’t have to go to war! Remember what they did on the planet, Boxyl? They submitted disputes to the newly-formed Global Arbitration Council to resolve all boundary disputes.

MALCOLM: And all disputes were settled peacefully, with minimal punishments. Anyone found guilty of violating someone else’s border was deprived of zucchini for a year.

BETH: Rudy, we’re just trying to – RUDY: I know what we’re trying to do! And we’re doing it wrong! It’s all going wrong! Remember your brilliant idea for propagation? Copulation! Remember that? Well, they’re copulating so much down there they’ve turned it into an art form! The committee’s projections show that by their year 2000, they’ll have more than five billion people on that planet! And that’s our minimum forecast. There won’t be enough food, enough shelter, enough – MALCOLM: Their monogamy gene hasn’t fully developed yet.

RUDY: So what? When it kicks in, they’ll stop copulating?

BETH: We’re dickering with a new idea to minimize the fornication. If the women don’t feel like having sex, they won’ put out. >>>

Wines for Thanksgiving

BY DAVID EHRENFRIED

SO…WHAT WINES GO WITH THANKSGIVING DINNER? MANY DO. THERE ISN’T ONE PERFECT WINE, OTHER THAN PERHAPS ONE YOU’VE HAD AT PAST Thanksgiving dinners that you’ve decided was just right.

If you’re not hooked on that choice, or if you’re uncertain or interested in trying something different, I’ve got some suggestions that may help you or your guests select one or more reasonably priced wines that can be enjoyed with traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinners.

For some people, Thanksgiving is a time to uncork a big, bold, expensive California cabernet sauvignon — more about that choice in a moment. For others, it might be whatever guests choose to bring. Or maybe you’re more strategic and plan to pick wines that will go best with food you’ll serve, or that can be sipped easily while cooking or hanging out with family and friends before and after dinner. There’s also the “let’s keep things in perspective” point of view: Thanksgiving is fundamentally about the food, company and spirit of the day. If the food and company are good, and the wine is palatable, it may not matter much what and how wine got to the table.

Delicious, easy-drinking wine, however, can make Thanksgiving that much more enjoyable. Certain wines,

72

in my opinion, do that better than others. Importantly, those wines need not be expensive, although splurging on a special wine or two for Thanksgiving sounds pretty good to me. Having a crowd? If you’re buying, maybe modestly priced wines are the way to go.

I’m going to limit my suggestions mainly to American wines, since Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. (Similar wines from other countries work, too, if you prefer.) Fortunately, both whites and reds go well with Thanksgiving dishes. It’s nice to serve both, of course, since some people prefer one or the other. If you have enough wine-drinking guests, it’s fun putting out a selection of several different red and white wines to let guests sample and choose favorites.

Starting with whites, riesling wines go beautifully with the entire gamut of Thanksgiving foods, including dessert. Chilled basic riesling, which is light and dry with a combination of sweet and tart fruit flavors, complements roast turkey as well as most vegetable dishes and even the spiciest or most flavorful stuffing.

Some rieslings even have a bit of spritz, or slight carbonation. Semi-dry or late-harvest rieslings are sweeter and more suited to dessert. The best, most >>>

Prices range from around $8 to $30, with selected bottles costing more. Some reliable producers to look for: from New York — Forge (my favorite), Herman J.

Of course, if a guest shows up with French Champagne, don’t complain. Just enjoy!

Chardonnay also is wonderful with Thanksgiving dinner. Serve your favorite or try something different.

There are so many fine choices for every budget from California, Oregon and Washington. Sonoma County, in particular, has enjoyed excellent recent chardonnay vintages, as has the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Some people like drier, crisp, more austere chardonnay wines with little or no oak. For Thanksgiving, I prefer oaky chardonnays, which tend to be fuller, even buttery, and have more peach, apricot and vanilla flavors. A few notable producers in the $15-$40 range include A to Z, Beringer, Crossbarn, Evening Land, Hess Select, La Crema, MacCrostie, Raeburn, Mer Soleil and SonomaLoeb, along with many others.

My favorite American reds for Thanksgiving are pinot noir, zinfandel and syrah. Why not cabernet sauvignon?

Cabernet sauvignon wines are often disappointing matches for roast turkey and stuffing. Cabernet sauvignon can be exceptional wine, but it can be too tannic and overpowering for turkey.

[Okay… What does “too tannic” mean? Tannic refers to the mouth dryness and puckering caused by an astringent chemical compound in wine called tannins.

You may have experienced these sensations when drinking red wines. Tannins abound in bold, powerful red wines like cabernet sauvignon, French Bordeaux and Spanish rioja, especially when they’re young. They’re in the grape skins used for making all red wines as well as the wooden barrels used for aging. They help give red wine structure and provide preservatives which help some red wines age for many years and, when properly stored, hopefully improve. As these wines age, tannins become “softer” and less apparent as they change

chemically in the wine.]

By contrast, quality California or Oregon pinot noir is generally light and mildly tannic. Delicious and easydrinking, good pinots have bright cherry or other berry flavors as well as earthy, herbal and other attributes that complement roast turkey and a wide range of vegetable dishes. Many quality pinots are available for about $13 and up, such as A to Z, Acrobat, Erath, Hahn SLH, Kendall Jackson Reserve, La Crema, Rex Hill, Argyle, Adelsheim, Chehalem, Roar, Patz&Hall, Penner-Ash, Siduri, Sojourn and Ken Wright.

Want a fuller, more savory wine? Many consider zinfandel an ideal choice for Thanksgiving dinner.

Zinfandel is a robust, mid-weight, modestly tannic wine.

Its dried cherry and other fruit flavors, mild smokiness, and hints of spice and chocolate often get better as you eat. It’s also quintessentially American, having been grown and bottled in the United States for over a hundred years. Some top zinfandel producers in the $12 to $60 range are Bedrock, Carlisle, Cline, Hartford, Ravenswood, Ridge, Seghesio and Turley.

Want a more powerful wine, consider California or Washington syrah. The best of these Rhone style wines can be gorgeous and go magically with traditional or creative Thanksgiving dishes. (My wife loves syrah wines, by the way.) They’re typically deep, dark red, full-bodied, and silky smooth with dark berry, cracked pepper and even slight licorice and other flavors. Unfortunately, prices for better syrah’s are mostly $20 and up, and selection in most wine stores is limited. Several names to look for: Tensley, Novy, Jaffurs, L’ecole No. 41 and Charles Smith, and at the top of the scale, Alban, Betz, Carlisle,

’Twas the night before

Thanksgiving IMPRESS HOUSE GUESTS WITH THESE MAKE-AHEAD MEALS This time of year there are plenty of cooking guides for Thanksgiving — which in and of itself is another thing for which we can all be grateful. With that in mind, I have decided to focus on the night before the big meal. As families find themselves spread out across the country, many hosts find themselves with a house full of guests on Wednesday night. Who wants to (or even has time to) make two huge meals back-to-back? Here is a game plan for some homemade meals you can prepare weeks in advance and freeze. Just defrost, add a few accouterments and serve. Your guests will feel special!

RECIPES AND PHOTOS BY MRS. KOSSENFLOFFER

Boeuf Bourguignon 6-8 servings Like so many home cooks before me, the first recipe I made from Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” was boeuf bourguignon. I followed the recipe exactly and the end result was impressive; however, it was a ton of work. After peeling 24 baby white onions, I was ready to skip the beef and head right to the bourguignon. Below, I have taken a few shortcuts, but it is still a deeply satisfying meal.

INGREDIENTS

6 ounces bacon, cut into lardons (1/4 inch sticks) 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 pounds stewing beef, cut into 2 inch cubes 1 pound carrots, sliced diagonally into 1 inch chucks 2 yellow onions, sliced 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons flour

3 cups full-bodied red wine 3 cups beef stock (ore more) 1 tablespoon tomato paste 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 12 ounces frozen baby onions 1 pound button or baby bella mushrooms, quartered 4 tablespoons unsalted butter fresh parsley for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450 degrees In a large Dutch oven, sauté the bacon in the oil until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Dry the beef with paper towels. Do not skip this step. The beef will not brown if it is wet and a lot of the flavor will come from browning of the beef. Raise the heat. Working in batches, brown the beef in the oil and bacon fat on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pot. Remove the beef and add it to the bacon.

Sauté the carrot and onion in the fat and cook until the onions are light brown.

Return the beef and bacon to the pot and add the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and toss it around until everything is evenly coated. Set the Dutch oven in the oven, uncovered for 8 minutes. Give it a good toss about halfway through. (This step is worth keeping in because it browns the flour.) Remove from the oven and turn the oven down to 325 degrees.

Stir in the wine and stock so that the beef is just covered. Add the tomato paste, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is very tender.

While the beef is cooking prepare the mushrooms and onions. Melt the butter in a large sauté pan. Add the onions and sauté until they are browned. Add the onions to the stew. In the same pan add a little more butter and sauce the mushrooms until they are browned. Add the mushrooms to the stew. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

At this point, you can freeze the stew for later use. Defrost in the refrigerator one day before you plan to serve it.

Reheat the stew in a Dutch oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve right out of the pot with a good sourdough, crusty French bread or over egg noodles. Don’t forget the wine.

Mumbai Meatballs One of my go-to dishes to freeze are meatballs of any kind. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to defrost the balls. If you try to stir them up while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still frozen, you can accidentally break up the meatballs and end up with meat sauce. Of course, people have suffered worse fates. Serve these babies with some warmed up naan, mango chutney, cucumber raita and basmati rice.

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with Russian Roast Beef Sliders 8 servings

When it comes to feeding a crowd, there aren’t many easier options than soup and sandwiches. The red pepper soup is creamy without cream and perfect for dunking. This recipe makes 12, which of course you can easily double. But if you have that many people staying with you — well, maybe ordering pizza isn’t such a bad idea.

INGREDIENTS

2 3 1 2 1

onions, peeled and chopped carrots, peeled and chopped parsnip, peeled and chopped cloves garlic, peeled and minced quart chicken or vegetable broth,

6

red bell peppers, roasted, seeded, deveined, peeled and roughly chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 15 ounce can of chopped tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup of white rice fresh basil leaves, for serving scallions, sliced, for serving sour cream, for serving

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350. Place the peppers on a sheet pan and cook for about 30 minutes, until the skin starts to darken and blister. Remove from the oven. Wrap in foil. When the peppers are cool, peel the skins, remove the ribs and seeds and chop In a heavy pot, sauté the onions, carrots and parsnip until softened.

Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add the red peppers, stock, thyme, tomatoes and rice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.

Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. (Don’t overfill the blender.) Return soup to the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.

Orange Chutney 8-10 servings

Thanksgiving is like the Superbowl of food dorks. I would be remiss if I didn’t at least provide one idea for the big day. All I can say is that if the Pilgrims had access to oranges, we would all be eating this chutney on turkey day. (Full disclosure: since I am a fan of tradition, I plan on serving cranberry sauce too at my table this year.)

SLIDERS makes 12 sliders 1 1/2 pounds deli roast beef, sliced thinly 12 slider buns such as Martin’s 1/2 pound provolone 1/2 cup French fried onions (optional) such as French’s sliced pickles (optional) melted butter spicy Russian dressing (recipe follows)

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

4

tablespoons orange zest (from 1/2 orange) 4-6 navel or blood oranges (peel and pith removed), quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced and seeded (about 2-3 cups) 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup red onion, minced 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

kosher salt and ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350.

Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with a little bit of the melted butter. Without separating the rolls, place the bottoms in the baking dish. Spread the dressing over the rolls. Place the roast beef, provolone, onions and pickles. Place the tops of the buns over the sliders and brush with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes.

For the dressing, combine equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup, add a touch of Dijon mustard to taste and hot sauce to taste.

DIRECTIONS

Because every sandwich needs a close up

In a medium saucepan, combine orange zest and slices, sugar, onion, salt, and 2 tablespoons water; bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oranges collapse and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in red-wine vinegar. Chill until ready to serve. Serve at room temperature.

Mumbai Meatballs 8 servings MEATBALL INGREDIENTS

2

SAUCE INGREDIENTS

2 2 4 2 2 2 5 1 1 4 1/2

tablespoons unsalted butter onions, chopped cloves garlic, minced inch piece of ginger, grated teaspoons garam masala teaspoons cumin cardamom pods, bruised cinnamon stick, broken in half bay leaf cloves teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less depending on how hot you like it) 1 28 ounce can whole tomatoes 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes 1 7-ounce container Greek yogurt 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons sugar Mango chutney for serving Red onion relish for serving (recipe follows) Cucumber Raita (recipe follows)

DIRECTIONS FOR THE MEATBALLS

Preheat oven to 350 In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Do not overmix it. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush the balls with vegetable oil. Bake until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven.

FOR THE SAUCE

Sauté the onions in the butter until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the spices and stir until fragrant, just a minute or two. Add the crushed tomatoes and the whole tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands. Add the yogurt and stir until it’s all combined. Add the salt and the sugar. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.

Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for about 30 minutes until all the flavors are melded.

Serve with warm naan bread, mango chutney, red onion relish and cucumber raita.

RED ONION RELISH

Combine the juice of 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 chopped red onion in a bowl and mix. Add cayenne pepper to taste and mix through. You can add red coloring for fun.

CUCUMBER RAITA

Combine 2 cups of Greek Yogurt with 1 clove of minced garlic. Grate a seedless cucumber onto a kitchen towel. Sprinkle the cucumber with salt let it sit for 10 minutes and squeeze out excess water. Add cayenne pepper to taste.

Spicy Peanut Brownies 9-12 brownies Since you are probably knee deep in pie baking, here is an easy dessert. Buy a box of brownie mix.

(Ghirardelli is my favorite.) Follow the instructions on the box and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a big handful of salted peanuts. Bake according to package instructions. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Already exhausted from move in, the first day started dreadfully at 7:15am, sharp.

Local Lighthouse Point fly-fisherman Derek Ulbrich finds the ultimate jungle experience and fly-fishing paradise in a deeply remote Bolivian national park amongst indigenous people of the Tsimane Tribe.

FLYFISHING

BY DEREK ULBRICH

Your native guides, using their wooden push poles, steady the dug-out canoe next to the stream’s bank. You jump out onto a long, moss-covered boulder, fly rod in hand, and scramble upstream. Your guide is ahead of you, elevated on another mossy rock. He is squatting, with frozen intensity, as he points upstream with his left hand and emphatically waves you forward with his right. He points to a good spot for you to stand below and makes the universal symbol for big fish with hands wide apart. Something great lurks ahead. Heart rate: 90.

You don’t pay attention to the huge yellow and blue macaws squawking as they pass above, crossing the narrow canyon that towers over you.

You hear only the rushing stream, and the sound of your reel as you strip out 60 feet of line and prepare your cast. Your guide, Santiago, and you quickly discuss the fish’s location. It is sitting in the fast current, against the rock wall on the right where the stream is only 8 feet wide and 2 feet deep. You check your back cast situation; jungle plants, boulders and logs behind you wait eagerly to foil your attempt.

You have only a very narrow corridor to work with.

The cast is straight upstream, 20 meters into fast current; level of difficulty in the 9’s. Heart rate: increasing.

It’s showtime. With a few false casts you feed out

the correct amount of line and land the fly exactly where you wanted, 5 feet in front of the fish.

“Strip, strip, strip!” your guide shouts as you furiously try to keep up with the current rushing towards you.

The fish turns and attacks the fly but the current is too fast, you feel it, you see it, but you can’t get tight to strip set the hook. You lift the rod in a last ditch effort to connect but the fly comes free and sails back past you at 100 mph. Brief and reflexive profanity ensues. You keep the false cast going though, ready for another shot. You still haven’t snagged a bush. Heart rate: 105 While keeping your false casts going your guide points again. He sees another fish, 20 feet farther up between a rock and a stick. Impossible you

think. That is too far, no room left behind you, target too small, going to snag a tree any second... You muster your best double haul and release a Hail Mary upstream. The 9-weight line rolls out like it has a mind of its own, landing the huge fly exactly where you hoped. You can’t believe it.

Perfection. It is happening! Heart rate: 120.

“Strip, strip, strip!!!” he yells as you see the fish turn, charge the fly, and eat. You concentrate on your hands to get tight, setting the hook in that bony mouth full of razor sharp teeth. Heart: not beating....

You come tight as the fish charges past you and races downstream. The native guides quickly move the cuamba out of the way as the fish takes to the air with a dramatic cart-wheeling leap and then continues downstream into the backing. The fish is big. It is your biggest yet anyway. Maybe 9 or 10 kilos. Heart rate: resumes somewhere in the 130s.

After a couple minutes and six more jumps, you coax your trophy to shore and your guide grabs it. You stand there and stare for a moment in a sort of stunned amazement. You carefully pick up the fish for some quick pictures before releasing this beautiful creature back to where it belongs. Your guide is ecstatic. You look at your native guides who are normally quite stoic and reserved.

They are both smiling. You did good. Looking up you take in the prehistoric scenery wrapped around you; this place is straight out of the pages of National Geographic. You cheer, “HAMSI!!!” — the Tsimane word for beautiful. It is day three and you still can’t believe you are here. Time to go find another fish.

The location is Sécure River Lodge at Asunta village (S 15.49.821, W 066.26.581) in the Western edge of Bolivia’s ABOVE LEFT TO RIGHT A local guide from the Tsimane tribe in the Sécure River; a guide leads the way to an un-fished section of river; the Asunta Lodge; villagers greet guests at the airstrip.

TIPNIS National Park and Indigenous Territory (TIPNIS stands for Territorio Indígena Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure). It is a two-hour flight by Cessna from Santa Cruz to a tiny airstrip carved into the jungle. The majority of this flight is over roadless, virgin jungle canopy interrupted only by scores of winding rivers and streams that have zero fishing pressure. The lodge is located where the crystal clear sub-Andean headwater streams empty into the rainforest and feed the rest of the Amazon basin. The fish are the Golden Dorado (Cazare) — arguably the most aggressive, acrobatic and exciting fresh water fly fishing target species in the world.

The outfitter is Untamed Angling, the brainchild of founder Marcelo Perez. The model he created is unique.

It is a cooperation between various groups of indigenous peoples and Untamed Angling to provide an eco-conscious and sustainable source of income for the indigenous people, while providing the stuff of fantasy for anglers seeking big fish and adventure in hyper-remote locations. This is a barbless, fly fishing only, catch and release fishery. These fish are treated with great respect. The dorados here are basically sacred to the locals who see them as partners in their hunt for the sabalo, a carp-like species that the dorados feast on during their annual upstream spawning migration. Caught by bow and arrow, Sabalo are a staple for the indigenous people and occupy the same ecological niche as mullet in Florida.

The fish I describe above, while not my biggest, was the most memorable to me. It was the location, the hunt, the difficulty in presenting the fly, the smiles on my guides’ faces…. everything. That fish was caught in Ashahana Creek, a narrow and shallow, crystal clear tributary to the much larger Sécure river. It is like a jungle trout stream except these “trout” can push 40 lbs., are golden with giant

heads, and can bite your finger off. There are two other less common species to target here. The Yatorana (Pirapatinga) vaguely resemble shad, also have vicious dentures, and fight and jump their hearts out. They are the least common of the three and grow to over 10 lbs. Pound-for-pound, Yatorana are the strongest. They will take streamers and large dry flies. Then there is the Pacu (Tambaqui). Many of you are familiar with these as they can be found in the canals of South Florida as expats of the aquarium trade.

They are essentially a super-sized vegetarian piranha and are usually caught presenting fruit and nut imitations in the deep slow moving pools. Pacu even jump from time to time and are referred to here as jungle permit. To catch all three in one day is a called a Tsimane Grand Slam, a club I was lucky enough to join.

The 70 local natives who live in the village of Asunta belong to the Tsimane tribe (Chi-mon-nay). This is their forest and they are in tune with every aspect of the river, jungle and wildlife. What they say goes. The children here start to learn the use of a bow and arrow at 2 years of age.

They still live mostly as they always have getting all they need from the forest and the river. They also raise small crops of papaya, corn, pineapple and bananas. Tribe members older than 30 remember a time before any regular contact with the outside world.

Interacting with and learning from the natives is a special part of the entire visit.

It was interesting to learn about their culture. For example, they don’t fight with each other and if a man were

to strike his wife he would be thrown out of the village. Men are allowed two wives. They elect the leader of the village each year. They have many legends but no concept of God. They have no words in their language to express “thank you.” The thing they fear most are stingrays and their absolute favorite thing to eat is monkey. They have very wide feet adapted over millennia for this area and walk barefoot all the time. They are very kind, noticeably shy, hard working and incredibly strong. Another interesting note is that the Tsimane people were ranked as having the healthiest hearts of any group on the planet. Every member of the village is involved in some way with supporting the lodge. A trip to TIPNIS isn’t just fly fishing nirvana, it is really about just being there. This isn’t a fishing trip, it is a

Untamed Angling runs six such lodges, three in Bolivia and three in Brazil providing opportunities to fish for the Amazon’s greatest game fishes: Dorado, Peacock Bass, Arapaima, Wolf fish, Payara, Pacu and several other species.

constructed, motorized dugouts called cuambas. At this location, nearly every time I stepped out of the cuamba, I was greeted with animal tracks in the sand along the shore— lots of them. The tracks of Jaguar, Puma, Ocelot, Tapir, Peccary, Hochi, Kinkajou, Caiman and tiny forest deer called Chinyu are everywhere. In the air and trees are a bewildering variety of birds including all sorts of parrots and toucans.

At night many beautiful and bizarre insects visit the outer walls of your tent for your inspection by flashlight.

TIPNIS covers 5,000 square miles and is among the most biologically diverse places on the planet. According to Wiki, there are 218 mammal, 992 bird, 157 amphibian and 131 reptile species known in TIPNIS. There are likely thousands of unnamed insect and plant species here. The park is a window into what things looked like a million years ago, still pristine and untouched.

After a day of fishing you return to the comforts of the lodge which was expertly built by the villagers using sustainable materials from the local forest. Despite being so remote, this is five-star jungle living. The camp chef is an expert gourmet.

It was shocking to be eating such lavish meals considering where we actually were. Queen beds in large private tents, ceiling fans and lighting, private baths with hot showers, satellite internet Wi-Fi, ice cold beer and soda round out the comforts. The small group of about four to eight lucky anglers who visit here each week have want for nothing. The camp generator shuts off around 10:30 and it is time to get some rest for the next day’s fishing excursion. A day of fishing here can be quite strenuous, but if your adrenaline won’t stop dumping and you find you can’t sleep, solar powered batteries provide light in the pitch black darkness of the jungle. The jungle wakes up when the sun goes down. Sitting alone on my porch late at night, in the pitch black, looking at the stars, and listening to the sounds of the jungle, was simply awesome. From haunting ABOVE Derek Ulbrich holds a golden dorado he caught in the Sécure River while on a trip with outfitter Untamed Angling.

chirps and calls, to violent crashing in the brush, each new sound seems more mysterious than the last.

A trip to Asunta Lodge may not be for everyone. I would not recommend a person going there unless/until they are pretty good with a fly rod, so practice a lot before you go.

I also wouldn’t suggest anyone with a heart issue or who is in poor physical shape go. Standing and walking in wet boots in the sun for eight to nine hours a day, for six days straight, while casting large flies on 9 and 10 weight lines is physically quite demanding. Ninety percent of the fishing is wading or walking the banks of the river. They don’t let you just tromp through the jungle here either. There are things that can bite you that you would surely regret; this is not a place you want to get hurt. Visiting here is very safe but the nearest hospital is a long way away and requires a plane to come get you. I am pretty sure it is impossible to land on that airstrip in the dark.

So, if this story calls to you, and you are the kind of guy or gal who is seeking an unforgettable fishing adventure in true jungle paradise, then you need to put this trip at the very top of your freshwater bucket list. I would encourage you to look up Untamed Angling online to learn more or search Tsimane on YouTube. I am not affiliated with Untamed Angling. I am just a guest who returned awestruck and wanted to share this jewel with his Lighthouse Point neighbors. There are many fisherman in our town who travel far and wide to feed their fishing addiction. Visit this place and you will not be disappointed; it is incredible, it is humbling, it is Tsimane! Y

Lighthouse Point, Pompano!, and Deerfield Beach! are three community magazines. Collectively, the publications have a distribution of 21,000 with 60,000 readers. The complimentary magazines are distributed at hotels, retail centers, professional offices and dining establishments.

The goal of our magazines is to create a sense of community while sharing neighborhood news, featuring local people and informing readers about regional events.

OUR PRIORITIES

AROUND THE POINT CITY BEAT

In addition to covering fun local stories about interesting people, exciting adventures, beautiful homes, awesome restaurants and special events, we also cover topics of national importance through a local lens. For example, reporter DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU has done a number of investigative features. One examined the effect of the opioid epidemic on Broward County. This year, she assessed Broward County’s readiness for the “Silver Tsunami” — a mass influx of senior citizens aging over 85 in the next 12 years. And in another edition, she explored DACA by introducing readers to Juliana, the former Pompano Beach High School homecoming queen who, while growing up in Lighthouse Point was an undocumented immigrant.

The magazines also cover hyper-local news. Our intrepid City Beat reporter, MARIE PULEO, has diligently covered city issues in Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach, covering everything I S B ROWA R D R E A DY ?

A newly-released comprehensive study examines Broward County’s readiness for a mass influx of elderly residents by 2030. Long waiting lists for elderly services, holes in the safety net, a lack of coordination between service providers, isolation and a poor perception of seniors were all key areas of concern raised by the study.

Lighthouse Point magazine digs into the study’s findings.

PROCESS FOR OBTAINING CITY AND COUNTY APPROVALS

Plans for major redevelopment of the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club continue to move forward, but there are still many steps to take in the process of obtaining all the necessary approvals from the city and county. Terry Paterson, developer and part owner of the club, must first get approval for a land use plan amendment, which is needed for rezoning purposes.

Paterson is requesting an amendment of 3.4 gross acres of the yacht club property from “commercial recreation” to “multifamily” residential, in order to build 33 three-story luxury townhomes lining the waterfront. Profits from the sale of the townhomes would be used to subsidize the cost to build a state-of-the-art yacht club facility, which would include a new 35,000-square-foot clubhouse. The estimated expense for the development of the club and land is $32 million.

The developer has said that he hopes to break ground for the new clubhouse by mid-2019. According to city officials, the process for obtaining the necessary approvals could take nine months to a year, not including building permits.

LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT

01) LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT

F

First Steps July 10 - Lighthouse Point Yacht Club Investments, an entity controlled by Paterson, submitted an application to the City for a land use plan amendment, along with a conceptual site plan.

They were the first formal documents submitted to the City concerning the yacht club’s redevelopment plans.

Aug. 14 - Development Review Committee Meeting. The proposed land use plan amendment and conceptual site plan were reviewed by the city administrator, assistant city attorney, city engineer, city planners, police chief, fire chief, public works director, and civil and traffic engineering consultants. City staff conveyed their comments and concerns to the developer, who was present.

Aug. 28 - Public workshop at City Hall. The City Commission and members of the Planning and Zoning Board discussed the proposed land use plan amendment and the conceptual site plan. The developer presented substantial revisions to the plans based on comments from City staff at the Development Review Committee meeting on Aug. 14. The revised plans were not formally submitted to the City, and were seen for the first time at the workshop. There were still concerns about a number of issues, including density, parking, limited access for emergency vehicles and architectural style. The developer said he would submit revised plans to the city in the coming weeks.

amendment will come back to the City Commission for a second and final vote, with a public hearing.

POSSIBLE CODE CHANGES

Next Steps A) Another Development Review Committee meeting will take place to review the revised land use plan amendment request and conceptual site plan submitted to the City by the developer.

B) Another public workshop will be scheduled before the proposed land use plan amendment and conceptual site plan are considered at a Planning and Zoning Board meeting.

C) The Planning and Zoning Board will formally consider the revised land use plan amendment and conceptual site plan. The meeting will include a public hearing (only one is required for the Planning and Zoning Board). The Board will make a recommendation to the City Commission in favor of or against the land use change. The Planning and Zoning Board could ask the developer to make further revisions to the plans, which would come back to the Board for review, before it makes a recommendation to the City Commission.

REZONING THE PROPERTY

D) The City Commission will vote on the proposed land use plan amendment. A public hearing will take place before the vote.

E) The proposed amendment will be sent to the Broward County Planning Council for a hearing, with a recommendation for approval, denial or modification. It will then be reviewed by the Broward County Commission.

02) REZONING THE PROPERTY

After the land use plan amendment process is completed, the 3.4 acres of the yacht club property that were changed from “commercial recreation” to “multifamily” residential must be rezoned from B-2A (“planned business district”) to RM-16 (“four-family residential district”). Rezoning is done by ordinance.

SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND POSSIBLE VARIANCES IF CITY CODE IS NOT CHANGED

A) The Planning and Zoning Board will review the request and make a recommendation to the City Commission. The meeting includes a public hearing.

B) The City Commission will vote twice, at two separate meetings, each with a public hearing.

03) POSSIBLE CODE CHANGES

In the current redevelopment plans for the yacht club, there are numerous items that don’t meet the city’s code of ordinances, such as the parking, dock width and amount of previous space.

The developer could request code changes, which are made by ordinance.

A) The Planning and Zoning Board would review the possible code changes at one of its meetings, and then make a recommendation to the City Commission. The meeting would include a public hearing.

B) The City Commission would vote twice on any proposed code changes, at two separate meetings, each with a public hearing.

04) CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR THREE-STORY TOWNHOMES

Three-story townhomes require approval from the Planning and Zoning Board. They are allowed only if they meet certain conditions in the city’s code, as well as other conditions the Planning and Zoning Board can set.

Conditional use approval would take place before the final site plan is approved, but both can be done at the same meeting.

to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. Any waterrelated variances would also need to be reviewed by the Marine Advisory Board.

B) Another Development Review Committee meeting will take place to review the final site plan before it goes to the Planning and Zoning Board, the Marine Advisory Board and the Community Appearance Board.

C) The final site plan will be reviewed at separate meetings of the Marine Advisory Board and the Community Appearance Board, and then the Planning and Zoning Board, each with a public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Board is the body that gives final approval of the site plan, unless the decision is appealed to the City Commission by the developer.

The Planning and Zoning Board could approve the final site plan and possible variances at the same meeting as the conditional use approval.

Generally, the final site plan does not go before the City Commission unless the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board is appealed, but due to the magnitude of the project, the Commission will most likely want to review it.

HONORS VICTIMS & CELEBRATES COMMUNITY UNITY

All my friends and I, we’re just so shocked and devastated. This thing that happened is so insane. It could happen to us. It could happen to any high school around us. It’s just insane. It happened to people we know. I’m a swimmer and I swam with one of the kids that passed…I’ve been doing pretty good. I’ve been strong, but I just want to help people.

When I heard about the paddle out I said I have to go. I want to see this.

The community was coming together. I’ve grown up on this beach.

I wanted to come here and participate. I surf and paddleboard and I wanted to see everyone together and pay my respects in a traditional way. I think it shows that the whole community is here and that all those victims and families aren’t alone. We’re all in this together. And we’re all here for each other.

O just bring something that brings happiness and brings people out together on a common ground?’” she said.

The paddle out was a no-brainer.

“If you’ve ever met surfers, they’re kind of an awkward breed. We really like being outside, but a lot of us are very to ourselves,” she said. “So paddle outs have become a surfer’s tradition. We thought, what a better way for our community — a surfing community, a beach community — to pay tribute to so many, and allow so many people to be a part of it.”

For Cottrell, the water is also symbolic.

“That healing water — letting it wash over you,” she said. “It’s all very symbolized in the tradition of a paddle out.”

The night before the paddle out, Cottrell was worried. The winds had been pumping all week and there had been waves. Linsey went to the beach that night and prayed a prayer she never says: “Please, let the wind go.”

“I never say that,” she said. “We always want surf. And when we have wind we’re really thankful.”

On the day of the paddle out, Cottrell walked to the beach an hour before the start time. The surf was still strong.

“There was a chest high set of waves that rolled in. We were like, ‘Crap. What are we going to do? There’s so many people out here that don’t know how to surf, they’re going to

n Sunday Feb. 25 Deerfield Beach’s Island Water Sports (IWS) hosted a memorial paddle out to honor the 17 victims of the Feb. 14 Stoneman Douglas shooting. IWS co-owner and youth mentor Linsey Cottrell estimated that approximately 500 to 600 people attended the memorial, while about 300 of those participated in the water on surfboards, paddleboards and in kayaks. Participants adorned their boards with flowers and candles, circling just north of the Deerfield Beach Pier. Cottrell said the paddle out was not only a symbolic gesture to support the victims and their families, it was also an opportunity for the local community to come together in solidarity and unity.

“We were blown away by the response,” she said.

“Today was about just being a community.

Being there for those kids who probably feel really alone right now, no matter how much is being poured out

get wrecked.’…And then, it suddenly just went flat. The ocean went flat and the wind turned off. There was just a peace brought along by everybody and the ocean — it was pretty overwhelming.”

The paddle out far exceeded Cottrell’s expectations. The event had over 5,000 views on Facebook and 500 shares. She had expected only 100 to show up; instead over 500. Even international media attended.

Cottrell said, in spite of the horror of the tragedy, she’s been inspired by the youth response. As an IWS coach who has been ingrained in the youth community, Cottrell said she’s seen kids change in the last decade, growing more addicted to their cell phones and more isolated from one another.

“But in the last week,” she said. “I’ve seen more people talking to each other — putting their phones in their pockets and having conversations. They are really being there for one another — hugging each other and crying with one another. I really think these kids, through this experience, will inspire so many people around them, not only to be aware of their surroundings, but to just look up from their phones.”

IN THE WAKE OF THE TRAGEDY IN PARKLAND, POMPANO BEACH, ALONG WITH OTHER CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY, IS TAKING STEPS TO CONTROL GUNS. THE QUESTION IS...

Just over three weeks following the Feb. 14 shooting tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, in which a 19-year-old gunman killed 17 people, mostly teenagers, and wounded 17 others, Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed into law a bill that includes the first significant gun restrictions in Florida in decades.

“It’s an example to the entire country that government can, and has, moved The students of fast,” said Scott.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, making their voices heard, were the catalyst in bringing about Since the mass shooting, the change.

Pompano Beach city officials have been working together to prevent an event like the one that unfolded in Parkland from happening again.

Any public from schools. official who violates this law can be removed from office by the governor, fined up to $5,000 and face a possible lawsuit. In addition, any local law regulating firearms or ammunition would be declared null and void.

The resolution passed by the City Commission urged the Florida legislature to repeal these “draconian punitive punishments” of local elected officials. It also stated that “local governments have a duty to protect their residents, visitors, tourists and businesses and that such duty should not be infringed upon by state government.”

“It’s very difficult to be handcuffed by the law, so we’re looking at how to challenge it,” said Pompano Beach City Attorney Mark Berman.

On March 1, Berman attended a meeting of city attorneys from around Broward County to discuss a possible challenge to the statute or the repeal of certain provisions that prevent cities from doing what they need to do to protect their residents. A second meeting took place one week later.

In February, the City Commission of Weston voted to file a lawsuit against the state of Florida, seeking a declaration that the provisions of the statute punishing local elected officials for enacting gun regulations are invalid. Weston invited other cities to join the lawsuit, which challenges the constitutionality of the provisions.

As a result, a resolution was placed on the agenda of the Pompano Beach City Commission meeting held on March The 15-page resolution was sent by the Pompano Beach 13 for the City of Pompano Beach to join the lawsuit. The city clerk to President Donald Trump, Gov. Rick Scott, the resolution passed with a vote of X:X.

“It’s very difficult to be handcuffed by the law, so we’re looking at how to challenge it,” — Pompano Beach City Attorney Mark Berman

One of the most controversial topics in the gun debate is the so-called “gun-show loophole.” Under Florida law, a licensed gun dealer is required to run a background check on a buyer. If someone purchases a gun from a private seller, such as at gun shows, no background check is required.

Soon after the Parkland shooting, Mayor Fisher called the promoter of a gun show that was scheduled to take place at the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center on the weekend of March 3 and 4. He asked them to cancel the show, and they did. Gun shows hosted by the same promoter are scheduled to take place at the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center in April, June and

STUDENT ACTIVISM On the one-week anniversary of the mass shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, thousands of students at close to 50 schools in South Florida, including Pompano Beach High School, walked out of their classes or staged some form of protest to demand lawmakers make changes to prevent further gun violence.

On Feb. 26, students from Pompano Beach High School marched the 17 miles to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to show their support. The following day, over 130 students from Pompano Beach High School marched to Pompano Beach City Hall. They remained there for about an hour, chanting and listening to speakers.

“I can tell you how much that affected me, personally, as a community leader,” Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisher said at the commission meeting that took place later that day.

He recounted how one of the students who came up to him was crying because she knew two of the Parkland victims from her church.

“She looked at me and said, ‘Mayor, what are you going to do for us? We are relying on you to make the difference.

Can you promise me that you will do everything you can to not let this happen again?’”

“It was pretty moving,” said Fisher.

“My response was, obviously: I will do anything I can – physically, professionally, politically and humanly –

n July 2, the contract between the recycling processor Southern Waste Systems (also known as Sun Recycling) and 17 South Florida municipalities, including the city of Deerfield Beach, expired.

In January, Waste Management Inc. had purchased some assets from Sun Recycling/ Southern Waste Systems, which had been providing trash hauling and recycling services in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. Though the acquisition received antitrust clearance from the Justice Department in December, the purchase left Waste Management Inc. with little competition in the local marketplace.

In negotiating new contracts with the 17 South Florida cities up for renewal, Waste Management’s prices reportedly rose from $51.15 to $96 dollars per ton, nearly doubling recycling expenses. In Deerfield Beach, the increase would have raised the total price by $800,000 a year.

In response to Waste Management’s new contract offers, 15 of the cities up for renewal accepted the price increase. Only two,

On Aug. 16, the Deerfield Beach City Commission approved a new contract with Waste Management, which will restart the city’s recycling program on Sept 3. Until then, all materials placed in blue recycling bins will be processed as trash. The new contract still includes a fee of $96 per ton, but according to Rebecca Medina-Stewart, the City’s Director of Public Affairs and Marketing, includes other important changes, such as: the flexibility to make changes to residential curbside recycling program as well as commercial and multi-family dumpster service; the flexibility to remove material streams based

“We are going to have to rethink a lot things regarding recycling. How we collect it, what we do with it, how we charge our residents for the service,” “Reducing household waste, and educating the public on what to do with their recycling is our focus. By the time our contract is up in 2022, it could be a whole different situation.” — Beth Dubow.

Fisher said he and the city attorney are looking very closely at how gun shows at public facilities in Pompano can be stopped “immediately” and, he hopes, “forever,” with the City Commission’s approval.

Meanwhile, on March 7, the Florida House in a close vote passed a school safety package that includes the first notable gun control measures in Florida in more than 20 years.

“I’m here to cover the aftermath of the shooting in Parkland. For many people in Europe — and I guess in the U.S. — it’s a story of a bunch of kids speaking up to a very powerful lobby, the gun lobby. They are seen, at least in Europe and, I guess, in the U.S. as well, as some sort of heroes that the country has desperately been waiting for…They embody so many American values that seem to have been lost in the last one or two years since the election…these kids are so brave and impressive, what they do. And they are taking on these powerful institutions…

They’re just 16, 17, 18 years old. And that’s really impressive.

“That’s why I am here…I think it’s a very important point in history, absolutely. And many people in Europe and the U.S. hope that these kids are about to bring change, which is a big burden on these kids. They’re not even out of school and they have to change this country. Even adults are saying you have to do this now. It’s a big moment in time.”

Travel with Insider Excursions!

Insider Excursions, powered by Point Publishing, is our new travel venture!

We are inviting our readers on insider trips to adventurous and relevant destinations around the world. Guests will partake in exclusive interviews with important people and participate in exciting travel activities while creating media content to be featured in our magazines. Following the trips, participants will see their adventure captured in print, online and on social media.

EXPLORE BOGOTA | NOV. 8 -11

Our first trip is four nights in Bogota, Colombia, Nov. 8 - 11. You’re invited!

Alongside multiple Bogota-based journalists who will meet our group in Columbia, we will explore Bogota’s culture, history and industries.

We will tour a coffee plantation, do a coffee tasting and conduct a live photo shoot at a coffee roaster with a Columbian model.

We will tour of the La Candelaria district — Bogota’s vibrant heart, with landmarks like the colonial-era cathedral and neoclassical Capitol flanking Bolivar Plaza. Narrow streets lined with shops selling emeralds and handicrafts lead to cultural hotspots like the Gold Museum (where we will see one of the world’s largest collection of gold artifacts) and Museo Botero (which showcases international art in a colonial mansion).

Next we will make the trek via an aerial tramway to the top of Mount Monserrate, a mountaintop offering expansive, panoramic views of the city of Bogota, which is nestled at an elevation of 8,660 feet in the Andes Mountains. Mount Monserratte is the picturesque home to a famous shrine and restaurant, where we will tour and dine.

On another evening we will visit Andrés Carne de Res, an Alice-inWonderland meets Moulin Rouge restaurant with a mind-boggling collection of quirky art and an outdoor discotheque, ranked one of the 50 best restaurants in all of Latin America. Plus, we will take a walking tour of one of the most bustling marketplaces of Bogota — the Paloquemao Market — where visitors can find a remarkable abundance of unique Colombian fruits.

Throughout the trip we will stay at the uber-modern, luxurious W Hotel centrally located near embassies, restaurants and boutiques in the upscale Santa Barbara neighborhood 20 minutes from downtown Bogota.

Cost is $1,500/per person (based on single occupancy), plus airfare ($300-$500 economy, $800 - $1,300 business class).

Point! Publishing’s photographer Joseph Yerkovich has been a regularly commissioned photographer to capture images of dolphins, whales and tuna off the coast of Costa Rica. In addition, Point! Publishing’s editor Danielle Charbonneau spent three months backpacking throughout Costa Rica. Together, the Insider Excursions team has planned an incredible itinerary that will include activities such as diving with dolphins, hiking a dormant volcano, swimming in a crater lake, zip-lining through the cloud forest in Monteverde, hiking through the rainforest to idyllic waterfalls, observing monkeys in their natural habitat, staying in a tree house (optional) and fully embracing the Costa Rican philosophy “Pura Vida” — the pure life. Learn why Costa Rica is ranked one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly countries on the planet — so much so that it was named the “happiest country in the world” by the Happy Planet Index report, published by the New Economics Foundation. Discover Pura Vida for yourself by joining Insider Excursions on their Costa Rican adventure.

Join local Frenchman and hotelier Claude DuBois, general manager of the Wyndham Resort Deerfield Beach, on a four-day, three-night culinary adventure of Quebec City.

The city offers a trendy dining scene sourced by the local countryside, mountain wilderness and bordering ocean, which produces incredible seafood, game meats, cheeses, vegetables and fruits. Quebec City chefs utilize this local bounty in creative and stunning ways sure to excite your palate. We will stay at the luxurious Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, which for more than a century has served as Quebec’s City’s iconic castle on a hill. This palatial hotel offers breathtaking views of Old Quebec City’s historic architecture. If you have a foodie’s palate and a taste for the finer things in life, than this trip is for you.

The Insider Excursions trip to Belize offers two spectacular parts: land and sea.

Known as the epicenter of the ancient Maya world, Belize was once home to more than 2 million Mayas. Sacred temples, pyramids, advanced science, agriculture, mathematics, palaces and awesome structures are their legacy. On land, we will venture into Belize’s dense jungle to go inside Actun Tunichil Muknal (the ATM cave), which leads to an unbelievable archeological site deep inside the cave where the Mayans — believing the cave was a passageway to the underworld — made ceremonial sacrifices. The ATM cave’s “cathedral” boasts fantastical stalactites and stalagmites. We will also canoe some idyllic rivers in the jungle.

The second half of our trip to Belize will focus on the sea. We will stay at Ambergris Caye, an island bordering the Belize Barrier Reef. Belize’s Barrier Reef is the second largest in the world, second only to the Great Barrier in Australia.

Scuba divers can go deep into Belize’s famous Blue Hole, while snorkelers can enjoy the shallower parts of the reef. At “Shark Ray Alley” both divers and snorkelers can swim with an abundance of nurse sharks and sting rays. In the evening, guests will take a sunset sail in Belize’s aquamarine waters while sipping on rum punch.

This trip to the Mile High City (literally and figuratively) is for pot enthusiasts and potential cannabis entrepreneurs looking to understand the business of pot.

We will tour some dispensaries, a special bakery and grow house, plus meet with key industry leaders and public officials to explore how legalizing marijuana has changed Denver. If you’re interested in learning how legalization could affect your town, or are interested in learning how you might be able to break into the biz, than this is the trip for you. In addition, Denver offers stunning views of the Rocky Mountains (with the option of taking some beautiful hikes) and has an active downtown dining scene.

INDIAN We have two words for you: lamb korma. This classic Indian dish varies from restaurant to restaurant, and while we don’t have their recipe, we can tell you it’s juicy leg of lamb cooked in a rich cream sauce with raisins and cashews. 201 SE 15th Terrace, 954-304-7032 $$ Tijuana Taxi Co. MEXICAN Perhaps it’s the all day happy hour (Mon.-Fri., 11am-7pm) with $5 El Jimador margaritas, but as soon as you enter, the weight of the day lifts off your shoulders. The atmosphere is friendly and fun all around.

There is outdoor patio seating available and a large U-shaped bar inside. The portions are generous — certainly enough for a doggie bag. We loved the spicy shrimp tacos — soft flour tortillas filled with Cajun-grilled shrimp in a spicy chile lime sauce, topped with cilantro slaw, avocado and pico de gallo.

The menu has a lot more than tacos — there’s all the Mexican favorites plus burgers, sandwiches, steaks and more. And for the little ones there is kids night on Sunday: kids eat for 99 cents from the $4.99 kids menu. 1015 S. Federal Highway, 954708-2775 $ The Tipperary Pub.

Casareccio Trattoria Italiana. ITALIAN Wow! What a find.

This small but impressive Italian eatery will impress you.

We can’t really tell you what to try because the menu changes daily. However, we are willing to bet you will fall in love with this place which feels like it just plopped into Pompano straight from the hills of Tuscany. 1386 S Federal Highway, 954-998-3642 $$$ Checkers Old Munchen. GERMAN Sprechen sie Deutsch? You don’t find many German restaurants around town. So when you’re looking for a change in your restaurant rotation, take a trip back to the old country at Checkers Old Munchen. The restaurant’s exposed wood framing is reminiscent of the German half-timbered architectural style and the walls are lined with classic German beer steins. For a traditional German meal, try the wienerschnitzel — it’s divine a lightly breaded veal cutlet sautéed in lemon butter and topped with homemade brown gravy. The spaetzle (German noodles) are a real homemade treat and not to be missed — throw a little of that brown gravy on them and they could be a meal unto themselves. The red cabbage is both classically sweet and sour and there are other side options too including potato dumplings, potato salad and even hot potato salad. As you look around, you can’t help but get the feeling that most of the patrons are returning customers. And the next time we get a hankering for some schnitzel, we know where to go. Imbibe to your hearts content with their wide assortment of German beers.

Tuscany on Federal A GEM OF AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN POMPANO BEACH CASARECCIO TRATTORIA ITALIANA 1386 S Federal Highway Pompano Beach 954-998-3642 $$$

The outside facade of Casareccio is deeply misleading — the Italian restaurant is tucked snugly in between a Chilean-American sub shop, a neon-sign psychic and a Polish Deli in a congested dime-store strip mall off Federal Blvd. and SE 14th St. Take one step inside, however, and it is plain to see that Casareccio is a diamond in the rough — an insider’s secret.

Instantaneously one is taken by the warm, rustic and inviting atmosphere. Some oldfashioned pasta strainers hang from a wall made entirely of re-claimed wood. The wall opposite is made of chalkboard displaying the day’s menu in friendly, colored chalk. A shelf of homemade Caponata in mason jars sits in front of the cozy, three-seat bar while strings of warm, round bulbs hang like Christmas lights from a woodpaneled ceiling. Exposed brick and corrugated steel details add to Casareccio’s homey feel. The name Casareccio — which means homestyle cooking — evokes this sentiment as well; as do the tee-shirts, which feature the slogan: “Don’t tell Nonna I’m at Casareccio.”

What a Rush [CONTINUED FROM PAGE 85]

want you back, or may not. This is the part when the tears start flowing as girls’ desired choices are denied.

The morning of the next round, a schedule is passed back to each potential new member. Depending on which sororities want you back for the next round, your list could have zero to 13 sororities. Many PNMs get discouraged when they see a small number of sororities listed on their schedule and get jealous as they overhear how many another PNM has on her packed schedule.

I personally was discouraged when I saw my schedule.

The first round seems to be nothing but a curtain as most sororities choose you to come back based on a short conversation in round one or from the online profile you created for the week. While you may think you connected to a girl in your desired sorority, you may get blindsided and cut from consideration in the next round.

This process continues for two more rounds during which you learn about each sorority’s philanthropy and sisterhoods. As the week goes on, the number of sororities you are invited back to shrinks and more PNMs become discouraged with the process. As my week went on, I became increasingly discouraged with my results. I wasn’t getting chosen by the sororities I wanted.

Yet, with some wise advice from moms and pi chis, I was told to trust the process. Every college sorority chapter is different, and the process helps you figure out which sorority is the best fit for you, or whether Greek life in general is even for you.

In the last round, the preference round, the sororities host parties for their desired prospects. I was invited back to two sororities. They were nowhere near my top choices at the beginning of the week, but each party made me realize why the sorority wanted me back and what each had to offer me. The parties were unlike the last three rounds because they were quieter and more intimate — an atmosphere put in place to help the PNMs choose the best sorority for them. At the end of these parties, each PNM is supposed to have their top sorority in mind and remain completely quiet throughout.

While each PNM picked their top sorority, the PNMs waited in the heat and rain, passing around Krispy Kreme donuts. The anxiety was palpable. We had to wait 20 hours until we could open the bids to our sorority on bid day. Most sorority girls call bid day the best day of their lives, but for me it was mostly nerve-racking. I made it through the longest and most stressful week of my life, and finally, after all was said and done, I could go home to my sisters and become a part of a sorority that will hopefully support me and enhance my college experience.

Overall, recruitment is a different process at each university, and it might be more stressful than previously perceived; however, in the end, the process allowed me to have a more open mind about which sorority was the best fit for me. Y

What a Rush [CONTINUED FROM PAGE 85]

the most fun. It was a little surreal; more than a few guys were regrettably wearing shorts with the American flag printed on them. No matter what you think about people burning the flag, I think we can all get behind burning those shorts.

Another sizable portion were wearing the typical Vineyard Vines apparel reserved for boys with blonde hair. Though, there was pizza. It’s odd inserting yourself into conversations when you know neither party. There isn’t a line of guys rushing waiting to talk to all the brothers. You really just have to be rude and insert yourself where people are already engaged in friendly exchanges.

Eventually, they would all leave, and leave you with the same advice: “go and talk to all the brothers.”

Like, what the hell do you think I’m doing?

I was really excited for the golf night at the driving range. Tiger Woods was in contention at the British Open, which led me down the rabbit hole that is YouTube.com. Four hours later, and an official golf aficionado, I decided I’d get into golf.

Before that, it was wiffle ball and poker. So, I was excited to smack some dumb golf eggs. The clubs ATO provided ranged from brand new to older than I am. There was a three wood in one of the bags genuinely made of wood. For the non-golfers: they don’t sell wooden clubs anymore. One of the drivers’ heads actually flew off when one of the brothers took a mighty hack at the grass in front of the silly golf egg. The head flew about 50 yards, which is more than I can say for the ball. Unfortunately, our foray at the driving range was cut short due to the terrible weather that night. It turned into a mixer in the clubhouse.

And on the fourth day, God said “let there be pool.” I’m average at best at pool, so it was mostly me talking about UCF and Jaguars’ football, and my fantasy football team. (Sidenote: my fantasy football team is better than yours.) Conversely, in pool I lost all but one game I played that night, which was due to an eight ball scratch. I was disappointed in the lack of pizza at this event. I was hungry and tired and felt like taking a nap after a long day of classes and homework instead of talking to strangers for three hours. But, my better instincts told me that it’d be best to show some face for the hell of it.

Rush week was definitely one of the weirder weeks of my life. I don’t know if I’ve gotten a bid yet.

I’ll just have to wait in limbo for a couple days, I guess. If you suffer acute social anxiety, rushing isn’t for you. If you don’t like chilling with the boys, Greek life isn’t for you. But, every brother I met, regardless of the fraternity, all said the same thing: “Greek life was the best decision I ever made in college.” Y
