HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

It’s Hurricane Season

T

he 2020 Hurricane season was one of the busiest on record. There were more named storms in the Atlantic than in any other year in recorded history. Thankfully, South Florida never had a direct impact! We had plenty to worry about with the pandemic.

The latest forecasts expect 2021 to also be an above-average year for hurricanes. We all need to be prepared.

It Only Takes One Storm

According to Florida State’s Tropical Cyclone Track Probability Tool, Broward County has about an 80% chance of having a tropical cyclone pass over us and a 30% chance for a major hurricane. Every one of us needs to be prepared.

The most important thing is to have a plan. The Department of Homeland Security’s ready.gov/hurricanes website offers the following basic preparedness tips: ⊲ Know where to go if ordered to evacuate and have an idea of where your family will stay if you leave. ⊲ Put together a go-bag that includes flashlights, batteries, cash, a first aid kit, medications, copies of critical personal information, and water. ⊲ If you think you may stay in your home, ensure you have several days of adequate supplies in case you lose power and water supply. ⊲ Create a family communication plan to ensure you and your loved ones are informed.

Living in South Florida comes with so many benefits it’s hard to list them all. The biggest challenge we face each year is the threat of hurricanes. A little planning will make a big difference.

Have a safe and great summer!

City of Hollywood Flushing Waterlines

T

By Jon Duka

he City of Hollywood Department of Public Utilities’ Annual Free Chlorine Line Flushing Program is underway. The free chlorine portion of this program will end June 14th. If necessary, flushing may continue across the City through June 30th to achieve optimal system maintenance.

This annual flushing helps rid the water distribution pipelines of any accumulated sediments. The hydrant flushing may temporarily cause cloudy or discolored water, which should clear in a few hours.

Residents may also notice a change in the taste of their water during this time as well.

The cloudiness is due to sediment in the pipelines and is not harmful or hazardous. You can speed the clearing by opening your faucets and taps and letting them run until your water runs clear.

Typically, flushing will take place in the evening hours between 9:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. when the demand for water is low.

During the water line flushing period,

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS

Hurricane Season is Here!

P

BE PREPARED

repare for an above-average Hurricane Season! That is the message scientists working at Colorado State University’s Tropical Meteorology Project have for residents of South Florida.

The research group predicts there will be 17 named storms in the Atlantic Basin this year. It also gives a 45% chance that a major hurricane (category 3-4-5) will hit the east coast of the United States.

The Atlantic has averaged about 12 named storms and six hurricanes a year since 1981 when the center began keeping track. As is the case with all hurricane seasons, it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for everyone. We should prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much activity is predicted.

Last year was the busiest Atlantic hur-

ricane season on record. There were 30 named storms and 13 hurricanes. It was only the second time in history that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ran out of pre-selected names and was forced to use letters from the Greek alphabet to name storms.

The forecast includes three different models: an extended-range statistical prediction scheme, using 38 years of past data; an analog prediction model; and a statistical/ dynamical model based on 40 years of data.

All three models call for an active Atlantic hurricane season in 2021.

Factors contributing to the forecast include La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific. La Niña, which means “little girl” in Spanish, results in colder water off the California coast; the cold water pushes the jet stream northward and leads to warmer

22 / Our City Hollywood / June 2021 / OurCityMedia.com

conditions in the tropical Atlantic. La Niña conditions are associated with increased storm activity. The tropical Atlantic currently has near-average sea surface temperatures, while most of the subtropical Atlantic is warmer than normal.

Colorado State’s seasonal forecasts were developed by the late Dr. William Gray. He was the lead author on these predictions for over 20 years and continued as a co-author until he died in 2016. In addition to pioneering seasonal Atlantic hurricane prediction, he conducted groundbreaking research in a wide variety of other topics, including hurricane genesis, hurricane structure, and cumulus convection. His investments in both time and energy to these forecasts cannot be acknowledged enough.

Ready For A Disaster? BUILD A KIT

L

iving in South Florida has so many incredible perks. For much of the year, our weather is unparalleled, our beaches are envied around the world and South Florida’s culture is second to none. Of course, with all that good, we do get a bit of bad: hurricanes.

As we stay on the lookout for upcoming storms, it’s important to think about what will be needed in the event of a hurricane.

After an emergency, you may need to survive on your own for several days.

Being prepared means having your own food, water, and other supplies to last for several days. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends each family create a disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-tocarry containers like plastic bins or large duffle bags. Make sure your items are stored inside air-tight plastic bags.

By Terry Jaillet

A BASIC EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT COULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ITEMS ⊲ Water (3 Gallons Per Family Member) ⊲ Non-Perishable Food (3 Days Worth) ⊲ Battery-Powered Cell Phone Charger ⊲ NOAA Weather Radio with Extra Batteries ⊲ Flashlight with Extra Batteries ⊲ First Aid Kit

ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO CONSIDER ⊲ Prescription Medications & Glasses ⊲ Infant Formula, Food & Diapers ⊲ Pet Food & Extra Water For Your Pets ⊲ Copies Of Insurance Documents, Bank Records, Etc. ⊲ Cash ⊲ Sleeping Bags or Blankets ⊲ Complete Change of Clothes For Each Family Member ⊲ Fire Extinguisher ⊲ Matches or a Lighter ⊲ Personal Hygiene Items ⊲ Books, Puzzles & Games

Hurricane Preparedness

STARTS WITH A PLAN

By Jon Duka

T

he 2021 hurricane season is expected to have more storms than usual.

We all know what happens when a hurricane heads toward us: lines at gas stations form, grocery store shelves empty, and room rates at hotels north of us skyrocket. The most important thing someone can do to ensure they are safe in the event of a major storm is to create a hurricane emergency plan.

Should I Stay or Should I Go

The first and perhaps most important thing to plan is whether or not you will stay or leave when a storm hits. If leaving is part of your plan, make sure you know where you are going long before storm season.

Pre-arranging a visit with family or friends will make things much less stressful.

Plan your evacuation route thoroughly

and what time of day you plan to evacuate.

There are only two major highways that run north from Broward County. Driving at night may be a better idea than during the day if many people are evacuating.

If you decide to stay, make sure your hurricane kit is ready. Be prepared for temporary power disruptions. Public water sources may become contaminated, so be sure to have plenty of bottled water.

You might even want to fill a tub the day of the storm.

Home Preparations

It is critical to prepare your home and property for a storm regardless of whether you stay or leave. Much of this work can be done long before a hurricane is imminent.

Clean up and remove debris or any item that could become airborne and damage

26 / Our City Hollywood / June 2021 / OurCityMedia.com

property. Make sure hurricane shutters are easily accessible and that you have the correct amount to secure your home properly.

Make sure you know who will be putting the shutters up in the event of a storm. Trim trees and bushes and remove ripe coconuts from trees.

Pack Your Kit

Pack your hurricane kit or check last year’s to make sure everything is up to date.

Stores typically sell out fast when a storm is on its way. Having everything you need ahead of time makes dealing with a storm much easier.

Hurricanes can inflict horrible damage to our homes and communities. If we have a good plan, we can minimize the risk to ourselves and our families. Stay safe!

THE DONOWAY CENTER New Clinical Trial Available Now for Patients with Advanced & Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Are you, or someone you know, being treated for Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer with chemotherapy alone?

Contact Dr. Robert Donoway at Atlas Oncology in Hollywood, Florida.

Dr. Donoway is leading a new clinical trial using multi-modality therapy: combining Pancreatic Nanoknife Ablation with chemoimmuno-radiotherapy to treat advanced stage cancer patients from around the world.

With over 35 years of experience performing pancreatic surgery in South Florida, Dr. Donoway recognized that, because of its late diagnosis, up to 85% of the patients treated with surgery for pancreatic cancer already had metastatic disease. This fact limits the benefit a patient might get from the Whipple surgery.

Recent evidence shows that when even advanced disease is treated aggressively in an integrated approach, incorporating Nanoknife surgery with chemotherapy, long-term survivorship can be achieved, especially compared to chemotherapy alone.

Dr. Donoway has been a pioneer in the use of Pancreatic NanoKnife, especially for complex advanced cases. During the past decade, he remains the only surgical oncologist performing the procedure in South Florida. Patients from around the globe have traveled to benefit from this ground-breaking treatment, which is

FDA approved. Dr. Donoway also treats other advanced cancers, such as liver, breast, and sarcomas, using Nanoknife surgery. A brief recovery means the patient can start chemotherapy and radiation that much sooner.

Dr. Donoway feels that “we are long overdue to revise our approach to treating pancreatic cancer. The treatment has remained largely unchanged for over 80 years and has just broken the 9-10% five-year survivorship barrier. Only thru thinking outside the box will we accomplish the positive. Otherwise, all we’re doing is confirming Einstein’s definition of Insanity.”

Dr. Donoway is participating in several clinical studies identifying the best chemotherapy and immunotherapies to be used along with IRE. Dr. Donoway states, “The results so far have been very encouraging and we have begun using it for other select cancers. Among his longest survivors are now patients over eight years without evidence of cancer recurrence. In the past, without IRE they would have been likely to have only lived a year and so this technique opens the whole new avenue for treating those eligible patients in a more targeted fashion.”

Dr. Donoway will be presenting the long-term results of his pancreatic treatment paradigm for advanced and metastatic disease later this fall at an International cancer society in Europe For more information about Dr. Donoway and the PancreaticIRE/NanoKnife Program and clinical trials call 305-682-1995 and visit www.AtlasOncology.com.

Volunteers Are Always a Pleasure

By Beverly Perkins

A

s the 2020-2021 school year ends, many students and teachers have received recognition for their outstanding efforts and hard work during such a challenging time. But Learning for Success, Inc. (LFS) always believes that volunteers should be thanked and acknowledged just the same.

“The mission of Learning for Success, Inc. (LFS) is to help students connect their strengths,

Christine Bagnati, Publix Supermarkets HR Retail Specialist

skills, talents, and interests to their dreams for the future, through partnerships with teachers, schools, volunteers, their businesses, organizations, and the community,” said Program Director Tania Reynolds.

The organization with the award-winning program will present a special award to Christine Bagnati, HR Retail Specialist with Publix Supermarkets for her extraordinary commitment to career education at a virtual ceremony this month. Bagnati has created and hosted virtual field trips for more than 1000 Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe elementary and middle school students in 17 schools throughout this school year.

“The pandemic curtailed the in-person trips to our stores

we’ve been doing with LFS for many years,” explained Bagnati. “We developed a great new collaboration to keep our young people connected with their futures in the workplace.

It’s been a win-win for everyone.”

Beyond the exposure to the jobs at Publix stores provided previously, the presentations included a comprehensive look at their manufacturing, distribution, and information technology centers. These visits support year-long career awareness and workplace skills lessons developed by LFS and presented by partner volunteers and teachers through its Kids and the Power of Work (KAPOW) and My Future Is Now (MFIN) programs.

“As a Title I school, our students have limited exposure to career opportunities beyond

what they know immediately around them,” expressed Eliana Jimenez from Hollywood’s Boulevard Heights Elementary.

“The Publix virtual visit helped them learn about a myriad of new possibilities for their futures.”

“Our partnership with Publix Supermarkets continues to grow every year thanks to their amazing leadership team that shares our vision for a better future for our young people,” added Reynolds

OPPORTUNITY ZONES

WOHLSTEIN

By Mayor Josh Levy

ith two well-situated Opportunity Zones, zoning changes and a robust street improvement program, the City of Hollywood is attracting major commercial real estate developers and investors. “Our strategic location and public investments – coupled with the tax benefits of the federal Opportunity Zone program – have set the stage for new developments that benefit our community,” said Herb Conde-Parlato, economic development manager, City of Hollywood. “We are now reviewing several new projects that will add vitality to our local economy by creating new jobs, while offering a wider array of housing, dining and shopping options to our residents.”

Block 40 is a mixed-use development under construction at the southwest corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Young Circle at the site of the former Great Southern Hotel. The development is well underway and will include 166 upscale residential units and 103 hotel rooms with approximately 30,000 SF of commercial space.

Soleste is a residential-retail project at 2001 Hollywood Boulevard in the downtown area. Miami-based Estate Investment Group is planning the development, which would include 350 apartments, 30,000 square feet of retail space and 497 parking spaces.

The Bread Building plans call for a 25-story tower mixed-use luxury apartment development at the site of the former “Hollywood Bread Building” in the southeast quadrant of Young Circle.

Nine Hollywood is a planned 18-story, mixed-use commercial, multi-family residential development, by Jackson Street Development LLC, with 226 units and 7,315 SF of retail space located just south of the ArtsPark at Young Circle at 320 South Federal Highway.

Icon Office Building is a 72,000 SF Class A office building under construction with retail bays and space for a financial institution on the ground floor located at 1895 Tyler Street in Downtown Hollywood.

Established by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Opportunity Zones are designed to spur economic growth by reducing capital gains taxes on qualifying investments in designated geographic areas. The City of Hollywood moved quickly to capitalize on two large-scale Opportunity Zone designations, one in the downtown that includes all of Young Circle and the area between two major corridors, Federal Highway and Dixie Highway, and another on both sides of I-95 between Sheridan Street and Stirling Road.

Raelin Storey, director of communications, marketing and economic development for the City of Hollywood says the city was ahead of the curve in marketing its Opportunity Zones, drawing a wave of interest among property owners, developers and investors. “The tax advantages have helped attract interest to these areas and in some cases have helped make projects by incorporating Opportunity Fund investment into a development team’s capital structure,” she said.

Looking ahead, Opportunity Zones hold a potentially even bigger benefit for long-term investors – a permanent tax break. “If you sell your investment after holding it for 10 years or longer, you may be able to avoid paying any capital gains taxes on the increased value of the property,” said Storey. ⊲ For more information about Opportunity Zones in Hollywood, as well as an interactive map of locations, please visit http://www.choosehollywoodfl.com/219/Opportunity-Zones 32 / Our City Hollywood / June 2021 / OurCityMedia.com
