A WORLDWIDE ISSUE! Horrific Killings In New Zealand Shows That The US Is Not Alone On Gun Control
By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com Are we watching what’s going on in New Zealand? The attacks on two mosques in Christchurch,
which left 50 people dead, has brought up the now worldwide issue on gun control. Remember, this was deemed as one of the safest countries on earth
when it came to gun safety - and for those who know the real score - believe it still is. Two days after this tragedy, a country that this does not happen in,
further illustrated its commitment in making sure that guns do not control the streets in any city in New Zealand, when the cabinet agreed “in principle” to tighten gun control.
It is an issue that Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been a huge proponent of since she took office. But all the efforts that went on in the past - and
will continue in the future is going to come down to what we have in this country and many others around the world do. Is it just about guns? “Gun control always makes it tougher to purchase weapons, there is no doubt,” said former police captain Ellis White, Jr., a seven year Hollywood resident. “But the reality of this - and we continue to preach it - if someone is sick enough to want to kill people they will find a way to get weapons. It’s that simple, and will continue to play out that way.” As White admits that there is so much effort from manpower to money - to ensure that guns do not fall into the wrong hands, it continues to happen. That mosque tragedy could have been pressure cooker bombs, deadly gasses in the air system & dozens of other ways to kill someone.

There is nothing quite like the weather here in south Florida - and for that reason - nobody can let their guard down. Whether it’s 80 and sunny or 50 overcast, this is an area of the world that is easily as good as it gets - with temperatures in the mid 80’s. But even though we live here in this little slice of heaven - weather is unpredictable and we find that out - instantly. Winter and spring rains are still strong storms that cause flooding and even damage from high winds that occur when the cooler air and warmer air mix. As much of the country still digs out
from snow and the storms that have continued to play havoc on travel and just getting around, we have had a different type of winter. One that has had more heat and humidity than the cooler days that we usually receive. Because we live in a tropical climate, weather plays a major role in our lifestyle. It is something that we have to live with - and while the calendar says the third week of March, we are always ready for the elements. With 1st Priority Restoration in your neighborhood, you can relax and know that no matter how tough the weather

Children, Community & Being A Single Parent
By Dorothy & Scott Roberts The time is now, the problems have escalated, the children are out of control, parents are at their wits end and the community is simply fed up. Taking Stock in Children is a comprehensive program that will help low-income children succeed by providing college and vocational scholarships, volunteer mentors; student advocates/case managers, tutoring, early intervention and long-term support, high standards, parental involvement, and community support.
Volunteers may tutor, mentor, assist in the classroom, help with fundraising and participate in developing school plans, as well as many other opportunities. Recognition awards promote community involvement as well as highlight outstanding volunteer practices and showcase exemplary projects which are then shared statewide. While education is clearly an asset to every child, they must also be taught the benefits of common sense which bene-

fits the families and serves the common good of our community. Education is a core value of our democratic society, and it is in everyone’s best-interest to insure that all children receive quality education. Our democracy, as well as our economy, depends on educated citizens and skilled workers with common sense. Many policymakers, community leaders, and even parents still view schools and student learning as the sole responsibility of educators. While educators take their professional responsibilities seriously, they also recognize that they cannot do it alone. They need and depend on the support from parents and community members. One dynamic too often observed is that parent involvement in education tends to decline as their children go up in grade, with a dramatic drop once students reach middle school. The lack of parental involvement is viewed by teachers, administrators, the public, and even parents of school-age children, as the single biggest problem facing our schools drop-outs. To promote the growth and success of our community at every level we must work with parents, youth and children at every grade and age, and our elected officials for the good of our nation. Business partnerships are needed in every community to reach our goal. Parents see lots of road-blocks to getting involved in their child’s well-being which sometimes hinders involvement. Sometimes their own demanding schedules, prevent for extra time to volunteer or attend school activities, thus make it almost impossible to get involved in bigger ways. Others reveal how uncomfortable they feel when they try to communicate with school officials, whether that’s due to language or cultural differences or their own past experiences with school, or they lack the know-how and resources to help their child so they express frustration with school bureaucracies or policies they find impossible to understand or change. Some parents complain that they rarely hear from the school unless there is a problem with their child’s behavior or performance. Do we expect teachers to raise our children; when they are not even allowed to call on God for help? Others say the information provided by the school is not comprehensible either because of educational jargon or because the parent or family member does not read or understand English. Some families criticize school personnel for not understanding the plight of single parents, grandparents, foster parents, or other caregivers. Others say they lack transportation. Most blame the judicial system because they cannot scold or discipline their children the way that they were discipline in a loving family home where discipline must be maintained. To avoid going to jail they step back followed the laws of the land and watch their children run wild and then being thrown into jail. (Give us back our parental rights) The system provide for them to become delinquent, worthless and then blame us.
INVOLVEMENT FRAMEWORK Parenting. Assist families with parenting skills, family support, understanding child and adolescent development, and setting home conditions to support learning at each age and grade level. Assist schools in understanding families’ backgrounds, cultures, and goals for children. Communicating. Communicate with families about School programs and student progress. (Create twoway) Communication channels between school and home that are effective and reliable. Volunteering. Improve recruitment and training to involve families as volunteers and as audiences at the center. Enable educators to work with volunteers who support students and the center. Provide meaningful work and flexible scheduling. Learning at Home. Involve families with their children in academic learning at home, including homework, goal setting, and other curriculum-related activities. Decision Making. Include families as participants
in school decisions, governance, and advocacy activities through school councils or improvement teams, committees, and other organizations. Collaborating with the Community. Coordinate resources and services for families, students, and other community groups, including businesses, agencies, cultural and civic organizations, colleges or universities. How can we engage more stakeholders? Some specific ways that we can engage more parents, families, and communities in education: Develop and pass family-friendly policies and laws [i.e., leaves of absence for parents/caregivers to participate in school or education-related activities; flexible scheduling to encourage participation by diverse families. Provide professional development on family and community. Offer training for parents and community stakeholders on effective communications and partnering skills. Ensure timely access to information, using effective communications tools that address various family structures and are translated into languages that parents/families understand. Develop an outreach strategy to inform families, businesses, and the community about family involvement opportunities, policies, and programs. Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of family involvement in programs and activities. Implement programs for family, and community partnerships. Faith-based community organizing group. Evaluate and report parental involvement, support in their children’s academic achievement.
CALL TO ACTION Hollywood Family Youth & Community Enrichment center believes that significantly more emphasis must be placed on the important roles that parents, families, and communities can and must play in raising student Performance and closing achievement gaps. Encourage parents, families, and communities to become actively engaged in their public schools and become an integral part of school improvement efforts. Work diligently with Homeless and youth in DJJ, correction/DJJ re-entry, family preservation, homelessness, and leadership strategy. Assist others with: Grief counseling and referrals for services. The Health Care Services Section of the Community Partnership Division provides the following programs and services: Mental Health - Provides administration, monitoring and evaluation of contracted service providers for adult mental health services including crisis stabilization, mobile crisis, outpatient psychiatric services, mentoring and consumer support services. The Section will also provide local match assistance to community mental health agencies receiving Florida Department of Children and Families funding for adult mental health services in order to assist those agencies in meeting their local match obligation. Primary Health Care - Provides Doctors screening and evaluation. Blood pressure check. Eye Examination, Podiatrists, Physcologist & Psychiatric evaluation and counselling. “Our children are our most precious resource.” We promise to help protect and give hope to the children in our care. Whether it’s a trusted mentor for a child who needs support, or guidance for a child affected by bullying, underage drinking, or drug abuse, you are not alone. For parents, community leaders and concerned adults, the program is implemented with you in mind to offer youth prevention programs that are faith based and based on state-of-the-art research and train-
ings that are reality-based and relevant to our young peoples’ needs and environment. We endeavor to form new partnerships with those interested in investing in our children’s future. We will do this with an eye toward the future…one filled with the promise of successful young people ready and excited to take their place in tomorrow’s workforce. Fundamentally we seek to build awareness, alliances, knowledge, and capacity—all to support the objective to mitigate risks for young people in Hollywood and promote their well-being. We will fulfill our mission by serving as a public policy advocate and by identifying, demonstrating, and promoting effective prevention and intervention practices. We will serve as a source of counseling, training, data, and best practices for direct service providers seeking to offer programs that will have measurable, positive impact on youth. Because meeting the challenge cannot be met by any one person or organization working alone, The Partnership considers its most critical and unique leadership role to be as a collaborator, connector, and convener on a statewide basis. In particular, we will foster a vibrant public-private partnership that engages businesses, state government, and communities to advance knowledge, leverage resources, and maximize our collective impact on Hollywood’s youth. Remember, our workforce of tomorrow needs you today so please get involved. With our focus on Hollywood’s youth, we understand that there are obstacles young people will have to overcome. Our goal is to provide communities, parents and educators with the best resources to reduce the impact of substance abuse, empower young people to live successful lives, and encourage communities to reflect positive lifestyles from underage drinking to illicit drug use, studies are showing that kids are abusing substances at concerning rates. We know that: • Survey says youth drink at rates 26-28% higher * than their peers nationally. • Almost 1 in 5 high school students in the state * report using marijuana at least once in their life. • Painkillers and prescription drugs have been • misused by 10% of Hollywood teens. • Law enforcement and concerned adults struggle • to address the availability of new synthetic • drugs in their communities. So, what can you do to prevent substance abuse among youth in our community? Where can schools and law enforcement turn for prevention strategies and the latest research? Finally, how can you prevent a child from getting involved in drugs or alcohol? You will find emerging research and trends in our Resources, best practices in the field, specialized training topics, and parent tips, all designed to support a comprehensive, evidence-based prevention approach to promote healthy and successful youth development, while reducing underage drinking and substance abuse overall. In addition, we can connect concerned adults to resources if you suspect a child has a problem. Marijuana — legal or otherwise — is a hot topic. It’s more important than ever for parents to protect their kids’ health and development by addressing this issue early and often. Your teens are likely asking you some tough questions and challenging you on the topic of marijuana. We will help to get advice from top experts in health and parenting to help you talk with your teen.
OUR GOAL AND VISION This is our goal for 2019 to work with family and communities to cultivate positive youths in and around their community. Partnership with the Broward County Health Department - Provides funding pursuant to Florida State Statute (Chapter 154) to support the County Health Department and its programs in our community. Special Health Care Services - Provides funding, through contract administration and monitoring, to not for profit agencies serving adults with special health care needs.

If you’d like to focus on helping our youth to be more upstanding citizens in their/our community we must work with them and not against them. Our goal is to step up to the challenges facing our family and youth to help them to be better citizen in and around their/our community.

Progress and Positive Energy in Hallandale Beach
By Mayor Joy Adams This past Monday marked a very exciting day! It was my great honor to deliver our annual State of the City speech to a large group of our City staff members, residents and business owners. The new City Commission hit the ground running and we are not slowing down. For being a small City, we do a lot and provide a wide variety of services. Thank you to our City staff for their hard work, I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished. And of course, our residents and businesses are what make this City a unique and vibrant place to live and work. So thank you for being part of the HB family! I am so impressed with all the seniors who participated in the Senior Championships recently. They brought some serious energy and proved that you’re never too old to play. I’m already looking forward to next year’s games! It may seem like the new year just began, but we are already working on next year’s budget. City staff and members of the City Commission prioritize this impor-

We live in a society, around the globe, that has many who are mentally ill, and while gun laws are always fine, the right to protect yourself is being challenged. “You always applaud people like Prime Minister Ardern and anyone who is in favor of limiting weapons and how to prevent them from getting on the streets,” Dania Beach resident Angela Morales pointed out. “But those who choose to own weapons - and have passed all the tests to have one - should stop being scrutinized. It’s totally up to people to protect life and property if they choose.” Whether it’s a killing that happened in Hallandale Beach, Hollywood or any other south Florida community, the gun control debate will continue with very strong feelings on both sides. To further spotlight the issue, to get a gun in New Zealand, applicants must first pass a background check that considers criminal, medical, mental health and domestic violence records; provide character references; subject themselves to government interviews;
tant project every year. We are focused on creating a budget that will provide an excellent quality of life for all. This includes funding the core services that our community depends upon, such as the Public Works, Fire, Police and Utilities Departments. We will be hosting a telephone town hall meeting in the coming weeks to answer your questions about the budget. I encourage you to stay engaged with your government by following us on Facebook and visiting cohb.org/agendas. These resources will help you stay informed about new programs, services and events. As always, please feel free to reach me at 954457-1318 #HBHere4U
pass a home security inspection; take a gun safety course; and then wait weeks or months for firearms license approval. That almost beckons someone to look further than the control. Because if a country has that kind of control over who purchases a weapon, the problem goes a lot further. “When I was on the streets as an officer, one of the things that you tend to find out quickly, if someone wants something - I do not care what it is - they will get it,” White said. “No matter where it is, you will find some mental health disorder will be present in every killing. Many of those killers would never be able to qualify to own a gun. The end result is that sickness drove them to get a weapon, and most of the time, they succeed. They are NOT thinking like you and I. Believe me.” The alleged shooter is said to be an Australian citizen. Australia notably tightened its laws after a gunman used a semi-automatic rifle in Port Arthur to kill 35 people in 1996. Subsequent rules prohibited all automatic and semi-automatic weapons, imposed stringent licensing rules, background checks and waiting periods. A gun buyback pro-
gram led to the destruction of more than 600,000 weapons. In the end, while nations are coming up with their own ways to deal with gun control, there is a huge issue with mental health - and no matter what anyone tells you - it is the root of everything. It is not possible to reliably tell whether someone is developing a mental health problem; however, if certain signs appear in a short space of time, it may offer clues: • Smoking and drinking. • Using drugs more than normal can be an early sign of a mental health issue. • Withdrawing from people or activities they would normally enjoy. • Sleeping or eating too much or too little. • Feeling as if nothing matters. • Consistently low energy. • Displaying uncharacteristic emotions. • Confused.

FIU Online Spearheads Launch of Statewide Affordable Textbook Initiative FIU Online has spearheaded the launch of a statewide initiative that keeps the costs of textbooks and materials under $60 per course. Affordability Counts is a faculty-driven program in which professors commit to keeping the cost of materials for their courses at an affordable price. FIU Online, which piloted the initiative, recently launched an online platform that is being adopted by universities across the state of Florida. “At FIU, we know the cost of class materials is directly connected to a student’s ability to succeed,” said Joseph Riquelme, assistant vice president of FIU Online and creator of the initiative. “The Affordability Counts initiative is focused on providing the resources to assist faculty in selecting lower cost materials that will have an impact on both access and student success.” According to the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, students pay an average of $153 per course and as much as $1,200 a year for textbooks and materials. To date, 270 courses have been added to the growing list of courses awarded an Affordability Counts medallion, and over 10,000 students have collectively saved more than $750,000 on course materials. The savings is nearly $79 per course, and the average cost for materials in Affordability Counts-certified

We welcome donations from all members of the community who wish to support our work. ERIC ROSS GALLINSON, 40, currently residing in Clifton, New Jersey passed away suddenly March 12, 2019. Born in Highland Park, Illinois, he worked and resided in Florida, Philadelphia and New Jersey working in the Audio-Visual Home Theatre industry. He was a 1995 graduate of Ithaca College with a BA in Business. He was loving and kind to everyone he met. In addition to his enthusiasm for cars, he loved home theatre and animals, especially his dog, Harry. Eric was the devoted son of Janis Gallinson of Hollywood, Fla.; the beloved grandson of the late Bernard and Lenore Gallinson; loving nephew to Bernie Goodstein and cousin to Sue Goodstein, Neil Braun and Marc Braun. To keep Eric’s love of animals alive, donations may be made to Soffer Animal Shelter, 16101 W. Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, Florida 33160. “May Eric’s memory be a source of strength for all.”
courses is just $21. To help faculty members make the transition to lowcost materials, the newly launched Affordability Counts website, AffordabilityCounts.org, features a directory of statewide courses and free or low-cost resources that can be used to teach the subjects. Students looking for courses with low-cost materials can look up their professors on the website and see if they have made the pledge. “One of the reasons I became a professor was to teach the next generation of leaders. However, for many students, finances are a roadblock,” said Lukas Danner, an international relations professor in FIU’s Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs who has taken the affordable book pledge. “Affordability Counts helps our students finish what they started. It’s our way of contributing to their success.” The website allows faculty at all Florida state universities to find low-cost materials by searching a database of courses using the state’s common numbering system. The course materials in the database come from a wide array of disciplines and can be used for courses in many degree programs. Faculty can also submit their courses to become Affordability Counts certified and receive their medallion status on the website.

FAMED CUBAN PIANO VIRTUOSO JORGE LUIS PRATS PERFORMS AT AVENTURA ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTER MARCH 24 At 5:00 PM
INTERNATIONAL STAR JORGE LUIS PRATS
The pianist has dedicated this recital to Miami International Piano Festival co-founder Edith Sorin celebrating her 103rd birthday. If you are only to experience one music festival a season, the Miami International Piano Festival is a great choice. The festival lines up international stars, up-and-comers and programs that feature different ideas and concepts. One of those international stars is Jorge Luis Prats, whose career has experienced a dramatic ascent since his first recital at this festival in 2007. A special performance will be held on Saturday, March 24 to honor Miami International Piano Festival co-founder Edith Sorin on her 103rd birthday. “A Cuban marvel: Jorge Prats…this master pianist is like no other.” BBC Music Magazine Prats achieved success early in his career, winning first prize at the famed Concours Marguerite Long – Jacques Thibaud in Paris, but the Cuban government later limited performances outside of Cuba. He all but disappeared from the international concert stage for many years. After his arrival in Miami he met Edith Sorin and Giselle Brodsky, co-founders of the Miami International Piano Festival. Their enthusiasm and support were instrumental in making the music world aware of Prats’s prodigious talent. Prats has since been hailed as a long-lost virtuoso in the grand tradition. His debut recitals at the prestigious “Meister Pianisten” series at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam were received with standing ovations. In 2010 he returned to the same series for the third time,
an honor uniquely reserved for Brendel and Sokolov previously. A crowd-pleasing performer, his concert tours have taken him throughout Europe, the Americas, China, Japan and Korea. He has performed as a soloist with the Royal Philharmonic in London, the BBC Orchestra, and many more. His recordings include a Decca release of a live recital in Zaragoza Spain. PRATS TICKET LINK: https://www.aventuracenter.org/events/detail/spanish-pianist-jorge-luispratts-2019 - or call 877-311-7469. “Edith transmits LOVE. Love for Life, Love for People and Love for Music. She is an inspirational force….” Jorge Luis Prats EDITH SORIN was born in Calgary, Canada. After attending the University of Toronto and Royal School of Music In London, she received a full scholarship to the Juilliard School in New York, the first Canadian to do so. She remained at Juilliard for ten years as a faculty member and also taught at Manhattanville College. After moving to Florida, Mrs. Sorin continued private teaching, guiding many pianists who have since have achieved successful careers. As she reaches 103, she is still sharing her experience and knowledge with young pianists as a mentor in both music and life. She is the co-founder of Patrons of Exceptional Artists and has served actively on the board since 1997. By Howard Rosen
GUERRERO Suite Havana, ALBENIZ Iberia Suite (6 pieces), CHOPIN Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor.
EDITH SORIN’S THOUGHTS ON THE PIANO FESTIVAL
“It was in 1997 that Patrons of Exceptional Artists was created and 1998 when we first started our concerts and presented The Miami International Piano Festival. We didn’t want to just present recitals, but we wanted to get in touch with the most exceptional talent that is in the world and I am proud to state that we have done that and helped launch several careers internationally. In today’s world it is extremely difficult for an artist to have a career. Many of the artists we presented made their debuts here in America and thanks to Giselle’s wonderful
WEBSITE
two ears and mine at times, we brought here exceptional talent. Giselle, who is our Artistic Director, has done the most wonderful work for our organization, she is innovative, smart and she really has converted this organization into an organization known all over the world. This organization must go on and live for a long time and this will be Giselle’s job. I am hopeful that with the recent creation of its Academy, our legacy will continue and our artists inspire and guide a whole generation of young aspiring concert pianists in the future.”

ASIYA KOREPANOVA
“Her performance…captured the work’s epic feel, with spacious, expansive playing and phrases that always put across the musical drama.” southfloridaclassicalreview.com Asiya Korepanova is a creative force. Her virtuosity as a pianist is best defined by a supreme level of technical aptitude, combined with her acutely individualized musical interpretations. The daughter of a composer, Asiya has premiered 3 concertos of Russian contemporary composers, Vladislav Kazenin and Shamil Timerbulatov, together with the Svetlanov Symphony Orchestra of Russia, the Saint Petersburg Capella Symphony Orchestra, the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra and the Tatarstan National Symphony Orchestra.

gets throughout the years, a local company is there to help make your life better. 1st Priority Restoration is indeed a company that everyone looks to year round - and not only between June and late November - during hurricane season, helping you rebuild and pick up the pieces should a storm threaten. Living in this part of the country, you already know that there doesn’t have to be a tropical system to cause flooding and everything that goes along with it. With nearly three months before the start of another hurricane season, this is the perfect time of year to give 1st Priority Restoration a call to come in and assess your needs. Providing a complete cleaning job has become 1st Priority Restoration’s trademark.

Remember, these are professionals, who will replace or restore your soaked and stained drywall.

SPECIALIZING IN WATER DAMAGE, MOLD TESTING Living here in south Florida, water is always present - and that’s when 1st Priority Restoration springs into action - with its professionals trained to detect water damage. “We are also known for pressure cleaning, canvas awnings and cleaning air ducts. Upholstery cleaning and drapes as well. But dealing with mold and mildew is a serious problem that we deal with every day.” Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects. Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, molds can cause nasal
stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. Mold is found both indoors and outdoors. It can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, bags, and pets can carry it indoors. Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery. Mildew and mold are both fungi, but mildew is not as invasive or troublesome as other types of mold. Typically found in wet areas, mildew looks grayish-white and may turn brown. It’s flat and powdery and it’s an easier fungus to clean because it lives only on

the surface of a material (such as bathroom tile).

(Use one cup of bleach per 1 gallon of water.) But when it gets out of control, 1st Priority Restoration will be there to get things looking new. ASK FOR THE 5-YEAR PROTECTION If your bathroom is
not something you are proud about, let 1st Priority really clean safely, scrub those tiles and make them look new again. If you have a marble floor, you already know about scratches, but 1st Priority will grind the scratches down, buff and polish to look brand new. The company also installs floors, tile, marble and wood - and stand by every job they do. The 5 Year Protection is something that this company always stands
by and brings customers back.!
