With hundreds of single-family homes in Pom-pano Beach still able to hook up to the city’s “Our Al-ternative Supply Irrigation System,” the city has ini-tiated various campaigns to encourage all eligiblehomes to connect.
The latest campaign involves a contest for localschools to create a name for the OASIS mascot,which features a sprinkler head with sunglasses andarms. The city has been using the mascot to help pro-mote the program throughout the city.
“We try to make everyone aware of our program,”said Isabella Slagle, reuse and water conservationoutreach coordinator in Pompano.
Pompano Beach first established OASIS in 2011with fewer than 100 homes initially signing up toOASIS, which connects single-family residentialhomes to treated waste water to use forirrigation.

Problems in hiring abuilding official have Sun-rise commissioners ask-ing other cit ies to joint h e m i n p e t i t i o n i n gBroward County to easeits certification process.
City commissioners re-cently passed a resolutionsupporting an initiative tod e m a n d t h e B r o w a r dCounty Board of Rulesand Appeals stop requir-ing extra certifications forbuilding departments,building officials and in-spectors beyond what theFlorida Building Code re-quires.
“This was inspired be-cause of the difficulty bur-dened upon our city as[Community Develop-ment Director Mark Lu-
belski] attempted to hire apart-time building officialand then later tried to hirea structural plans engi-neer,” Mayor MichaelRyan told the commis-sion. “What we learned isthat, in hiring part time[employees], the Board ofRules and Appeals staff,in direct contravention ofwhat their own code pro-vided for, denied our re-quest and then attemptedto change the rules in or-der to make it more diffi-cult for us [when hiring]part time.”
According to Ryan, theBoard of Rules and Ap-peals created a law in1976giving them the right topass changes to the codeand provide certification
requirements. After Hur-ricane Andrew, the Flori-d a B u i l d i n g C o d echanged to protect com-munit ies against highwind velocity.
“That building codepreempts al l the localcodes that were in exist-ence for years and years,”Ryan said. “There is noth-ing in the Florida BuildingCode that allows for anycertification. Instead,what is there is a preemp-tion provision that pre-vents the ability of localboards to do anything dif-ferent from the FloridaBuilding Code. They canc e r t a i n l ystrengthenon issues ofstructure if

Christmas is over, butyou might have an un-welcome guest linger-ing: the Christmas tree.
If you want to disposeof a tree (the real kind,not the artificial ones),Broward County Parksand Recreation is offer-ing its free Chip-a-Treeservice through Jan. 21a t 1 4 c o u n t y p a r k s .There are some restric-tions, as disposal is lim-ited to residents with amaximum of two treesper household. All lightsand decorations must beremoved from the treeprior to dropping it off.
And seriously, no arti-
ficial trees.“At some point, some-
one has tried to do that,”s a i d s p o k e s m a n M i -chael Mills.
Mills said last year’sChip-a-Tree netted 9,000trees, or about 100 tonso f p o t e n t i a l l a n d f i l lwaste. The departmentuses the mulch from thechipped trees as land-scaping for its parks.
T h e d e p a r t m e n tdoesn’t know how muchmoney it saves in mulchcosts, “but [the amount]would probably be sub-stantial,” Mills said.
Mills said the numberof t rees brought in is
starting to decline. Heattr ibutes that to twocauses: A rise in artifi-c ia l t ree sa les , a longwith an increase in curb-side tree pickup by somemunicipalities.
In contrast to previ-ous years, the programwill be open daily duringp a r k h o u r s , b u t y o ushould check a specificp a r k ’ s h o u r s b e f o r eheading out. If you’redisposing of a tree onthe weekend, the $1.50entry fee is waived.

“We’re getting ready to

City Farms has been inthe works since 2008,when the area was catch-ing on to community gar-dens. It was claimed theycould perk up a neighbor-hood, get people away

Rabbi Shmuly Gut-nick doesn’t believe thematzah-baking experi-ence is complete untilthe baker’s nose is cov-ered in flour.
Gutnick, co-directorof the Boca Raton-basedChabad Youth Networkof Florida, does about 65“Model Matzah Bakery”presentations beforePassover every year, allover South Florida fromKendall all the way northto Jupiter.
“The goal is to teacht h e k i d s t h e s t o r y o fPassover in a fun way,”Gutnick said. “We doabout seven or e ightpresentations in a day.We’ll see a total of about8,000 kids before thisPassover. We try to reache v e r y J e w i s h k i d w ecan.”
Students measure,mix, knead, roll and pre-pare the ingredients thatbecome matzahs theycan bring home to share
with their families.On April 2, Gutnick
visited Donna Klein Jew-ish Academy in Boca Ra-ton, where he taught thetime-honored custom ofmaking matzah (flat un-leavened bread) to about40 first-graders. Gut-nick’s pre-Passover visit
is an annual ritual forDKJA first-graders.
Wearing baker’s hatsreading “Matzah Bak-ery,” and adorned withflour on their faces asGutnick instructed, theD K JA f i r s t - g r a d e r slearned about bakingmatzah, the only bread
allowed to be eaten dur-ing the eight-day holi-day. The DKJA studentsdiscovered that matzahcustomarily gets bakedfor18 minutes.
The DKJA studentsloved the matzah-mak-ing experience.
Owen Sturm, 6 , o fBoca Raton, said: “Mat-zah is a type of bread I’mlooking forward to eat-ing on Passover with myfamily!”
Added Eli Bredski, 6,of Boca Raton: “I likedbaking the dough. I loveto eat matzah.”
Said Rachel Sareli, 7,of Boca Raton: “You canonly cook matzah for 18minutes otherwise thedough starts to rise!”
Commented SophiaMarton, 6, of Parkland:“I think if someone helpsyou make it, it’s easy! Itis fun! Everyone lovedputting flour on theirnose!”

Among the many is-sues that can arise in acondo community, theability to have enoughparking to accommodateresidents and their guestsis one of the most conten-tious.
Now, a recent court rul-ing has highlighted theneed for condo associa-tions to be aware of theirparking policies. In thecase of Keane v. The Presi-dent Condominium Asso-ciation, Inc., the courtruled in favor of the asso-ciation when a unit ownersued the association aftertaking away the parkingspot he had previouslypaid for.
The dispute occurredafter the unit owner paid$5,000 to the associationf o r a n e x t r a p a r k i n gspace, which the ownerthought was permanent.
The agreement grantedthe unit owner a license touse the space, but then theassociation revoked the li-cense 10 years later andthe owner filed a lawsuit.The court ruled that sincethe license was not a per-manent assignment andthere was no time frame,the court ruled in favor ofthe association.
“This ruling means thatassociat ions and uni towners have to spell outthe terms and conditionsof the use right more care-fully to ensure what is in-tended when the agree-ment is entered into is ac-tually accomplished,” saidLisa Magill, an attorneyfor Becker & PoliakoffP.A., who specializes incondo association law.
Typical disputes thatarise involving parkingthat Magill cited include
whether the the board ofdirectors has the author-ity to assign parking spotsor change parking assign-ments, what type of vehi-cles are permitted, howlong guest vehicles can beparked, whether guestscan park in spots assignedto owners and whetherowners have the option ofswapping or trading spotswith other owners.
“Obviously the associa-tion needs to understandwhat is contained in thedeclaration of condomini-um in terms of parkingand vehicle restrictions,”Magill said. “If that docu-ment is not specific or lim-its the association’s pow-ers, perhaps the best wayto accomplish change ist h r o u g ha m e n d -ments.”

In 2003, Mike and Linda Stuart’sson Garrett was diagnosed with arare and life-threatening illnesscalled dystonia.
The brain disorder, which ischaracterized by involuntary mus-cle contractions, repetitive move-ments and abnormal postures,forced Garrett into a wheelchair.
“After seeing what Garrett en-dured, we learned how fragile lifeis,” said his mother, Linda Stuart,49, a former math coach and teach-er in New Hampshire. “You neverknow what’s around the corner.”
Luckily for Stuart and his family,in 2008, he underwent brain sur-gery, made a miraculous recoveryand was able to resume a normallife.
Stuart, now 21, was one of thechildren profiled in San Diego writ-er Rachelle Sparks’ book, “OnceUpon A Wish: True InspirationalStories of Make-A-Wish Children.”
In 2009, Stuart, now a seniorstudying international business at
the University of South Carolina,used his wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation to travel to asmall village in Cambodia to buildwhee lcha i r s fo r peop le whocouldn’t walk.
Not the only one to fulfill hiswishes, his parents, seeing theirson endure a serious illness at sucha young age, spurred them to fol-low their dreams of traveling theworld by bicycle.
“Because we went through sucha l i fe and death situat ion, weweren’t going to wait another dayto live our lives,” said Linda Stuartby phone from Boynton Beach,where she and her husband havejust arrived by bicycle on their wayto the Florida Keys and points be-yond.

Rules that dictate howDelray Beach’s downtownbuildings are constructedwon’t be up for approvaluntil the new year, afterall.
Delray commissionerssay it’s worth waiting untilthe proposed buildingcode is fine-tuned beforethey approve it. In the longrun, the code should in-crease the number of pub-lic amenities downtown,such as public plazas,workforce housing, bike-storage areas and “green”designs in projects. Suchamenities would be re-quired when developers
submit building plans.At a meeting on Dec. 9,
several residents werepleased a commission voteon the rules was post-poned. The code is likelyto be considered for ap-proval Jan. 19. “We, as acity, can do better,” saidresident Jason Bregman.
The downtown ruleswould affect any new de-velopments between Inter-state 95 and the beach.
The decision to delay afinal vote came down towhether commissionerswant to implement a “bo-nus” program for develop-ers looking for more leni-
encies in projects if theyprovide even more publicbenefits.
“Incentives are goodwhen used proper ly, ”Commissioner Al Jacquetsaid.
He said it can be a toolused by officials whenthey want to lure a projector developer into a par-ticular part of town.
Commissioner AdamFrankel agreed that a bo-nus program can helpbring in projects Delrayw a n t s t osee, includ-i n g m o r eo f f i c e

For more than threedecades, the students andp a r e n t s a t t h e U n i t ySchool have been givingback to the community aspart of its holiday tradi-tion.
“This is really one ofthe students ’ favori teevents of the year. Theylook forward to creating‘angels’ and buying forthem. It is a school-widefamily affair,” said BeckieLloyd-Jones, teacher ofUnity School’s Lessons inLiving program.
Every December, stu-dents decorate paper an-gel ornaments. They’rehung on the school’s An-gel Tree with a note thatlists the Christmas giftwishes of an underprivi-leged child. Every studenttakes a hanging angel.Families purchase andwrap presents for the an-gel they’ve selected.
“It’s such a beautifulway of giving,” said StacyS t r o l l a - B r o o k m a n , aU n i t y S c h o o l p a r e n tworking on the program.“The parents at Unity takean angel without meetingthe recipient and with notrue connection.”
The toddler throughe ighth -grade pr iva teschoo l a l so g ives g i f tcards for Publix, Targetand Wal-Mart that fami-lies can use.
Unity works with localorganizations to make amatch between its fami-lies and the needy. The re-cipients are more than220 youngsters.
Among them are 46students at Pine Grove El-ementary School and allthe children in each oftheir families, even if theydo not attend Pine Grove;the Children’s Home Soci-ety, teens at Home Safe,
foster children in Childnetand disabled adults inOcala at the SunshineHouse.
“This is an incrediblelesson for our children.The reality is it’s so muchbetter to give than to get,”Strolla-Brookman said.She has volunteered withthe committee that orga-nizes the Angel Tree pro-gram for seven years. Forher, the request from aPine Grove Elementarystudent underscores itsimportance.
“I will never forget it,”Strolla-Brookman said.While taking gift requestsat the elementary schooltwo years ago, she met a9-year-old girl who onlyasked for a three-ringnotebook binder.

Cameras that were in-stalled at seven trafficintersections within CoralSprings have been takendown, but the city is notgiving up on its red lightcamera program.
The cameras, whichwere instal led by ACSState and Local SolutionsInc., were taken down be-cause of concerns abouttheir performance and ac-curacy.
The city is now likely tosign a new contract withAmerican Traffic Solu-tions, a company that isalready in many cities inthe tri-county area, in-cluding Sunrise, Tamarac,Margate, Davie, Holly-wood, Miami and BocaRaton.
Police Chief Tony Pus-tizzi told residents at a re-cent Slice of the Springs
meeting involving thesoutheast and southwestparts of the city that thenumber of fatal traffic ac-cidents in the city hadgone down ever since thecameras were installed.The city wants to continuewith the program becauseit improves public safety,he added.
Cameras were installedin September 2011 at Uni-versity Drive and River-side Drive (south), Uni-versity Drive and Ramble-wood Drive (north andsouth), University Driveand Shadow Wood Boule-vard (north and south),University Drive and Roy-a l P a l m B o u l e v a r d(north), as well as SampleRoad and Riverside Drive(east).
Another intersection —State Road 7 and Wiles
Road (south) — was lateradded. The city has plansto increase the number ofintersections where cam-eras will be placed after itsigns the contract.
The city is currently inthe process of workingout an arrangement withthe School Board to en-sure that all schools in thecity have school resourceofficers (SROs), Pustizzisaid.
Six SROs current lysplit their time between12elementary schools in thecity; there are SROs in allof the middle and elemen-tary schools.

St. Katharine DrexelCatholic Church in West-on had its first Mass a fewdays after Sept.11, 2001.
The church communityhas flourished since then,starting with services atIndian Trace ElementarySchool’s cafeteria to arented space off GladesCircle. It recently took thenext step in its evolutionby dedicating its own fa-cility off South Post Road.
“For us as parishioners,we realize this means wehave our own home nowon our own land,” saidMark Kerney, chairman ofthe church’s CornerstoneGroup building commit-tee and founding membero f t h e p a r i s h . “ E v e nthough the landlords havebeen gracious to us over
the years, it’s nice to nothave to pay rent anymoreand be in our own facility.… We’re home. This iswhere we are going to befor a long, long time.”
K e r n e y s a i d t h echurch’s membership hasmore than1,500 families.
The building will be thevenue for daily Englishand Spanish Masses, aswell as for ministries andr e l i g i o u s e d u c a t i o nclasses for more than 700students. The19 acres wille v e n t u a l l y i n c l u d e aschool for kindergartenthrough eighth grade, apermanent church build-ing and rectory.
“It’s a facility that willallow us to grow becausewe are going to be ex-posed to more people,”
said the Rev. Enrique Del-gado, the church’s pastor.“… I feel like it’s a blessingof God that we can finallyhave a house we can callour own. That means wecan continue our secondphase, which will be theschool.”
City Commissioner JimNorton, a founding mem-b e r o f t h e p a r i s h a n db u i l d i n g c o m m i t t e e ,called the move a dreamcome true.
“Many people fromaround the communitycame together to buildthis house of prayer,” hesaid. “The diversity of cul-tures within this city uni-fied to support our pastorwith an unwavering faithto build our church andour new home.”

Holocaust survivorshave visited Cypress BayHigh before to speak tostudents, but the Westonschool recently welcomedan expert on the subjectfrom Germany to bring adifferent perspective.
Jan Malecha came witha wealth of knowledgefrom the BuchenwaldConcentration Camp Me-morial. Over six weeks, hewill have gone to morethan 30 schools through-out South Florida and Or-lando.
“One thing that theyshould understand is thatthings like that really hap-
pened,” he said. “I realizeeven when I speak withGerman students [that]they read a lot about it,but it’s not clear and theconsciousness isn’t there.It’s more than 70 yearsago. I want to give themhistorical knowledge ofit.”
Students received in-sight from him during twopresentations. He pro-vided background on theconcentration camps dur-ing Hitler’s rise to powerand helped students visu-alize daily struggles, in-cluding lice and spread ofdiseases, and the horror
of the killings there.Leslie Rheingold is a
social studies and Englishteacher who hosted thesecond lec ture in herclassroom. She said stu-dents get a lot from Holo-caust survivors when theyvisit the school.
“They are the next gen-e ra t ion o f the t ru th , ”Rheingold said. “This pre-sentat ion was great . Ithink they all really en-j o y e d w h a t i t t a u g h tthem.”
Senior Ana Violantesaid Malecha brought adif ferent approach inteaching the topic.
“I really liked it,” shesaid. “We have had survi-
vors come up, but this pre-senter was young andG e r m a n . … H e h a d agrandfather or relative
who was in the SS. It wasa unique point of view.”
Fellow senior RodrigoCernea agreed.

K i d s w h o l e a r n t h erules of the road on theirbicycles will hopefullygrow up and be safer driv-ers.
That’s just one of themessages 56 children re-ceived at Pembroke Pines’recent Bicycle Rodeo atTowngate Park. The eventwas staged in March sincethat’s Bicycle AwarenessMonth, said Mary Pala-cios, the city ’s specialpopulation coordinator.
“We want to promotebike safety, and we wantto encourage kids to beout on their bikes gettingsome exercise and gettingoff the computer,” shesaid.
Participants learnedabout proper bike safetyand equipment at severalactivities and stations. At ahelmet check station, vol-
unteers looked over head-gear to assure proper fit.
“A lo t of k ids d idn’ tcome with their helmetsor they wore them incor-rectly, and I explained tothem, ‘If you are in sometype of accident, the hel-met is going to protectfrom more severe head in-juries,’” Palacios said.
The city gave away 15helmets to children whocame without one or whohad helmets that werebroken or too small.
At a bicycle inspectionstation, Pembroke Cyclechecked air pressure, in-flated and adjusted tires,tightened loose parts andchecked brakes.
On the bicycle rodeocourse, kids rode throughon their bikes while policedepartment personnel andPe m b r o k e P i n e s E x -
plorers checked to ensurethey were following therules, including coming toa complete stop, usinghand turn signals andchecking for cars and roadhazards.
“Kids need to makesure they check for on-coming cars and makesure they are on the rightside of the street and thatthey’re going with the traf-fic and following all of therules of the road,” Palaciossaid.
P a r t i c i p a n t s a l s olearned about theft pre-vention.
“They need to securetheir bikes and make surethey don’t leave them un-attended,” she said. “Andthey need to take their hel-met with them. Don’t justleave it on the bike.”
Children received a cer-
tificate of completion atthe end of the event.
“When they becomedrivers, they need to knowthe rules of the road,” Pa-lacios said. “They need tobe taught that at a youngage.”

The $435,000 fire en-gine/pumper truck wasapproved at a recent CityCommission meetinga n d w i l l r e p l a c e a24-year-old truck withnearly100,000 miles and10,000 service hours.
Most of those hoursa r e “ a t h i g h e n g i n espeeds , whether re -sponding to a call withlights and sirens or on anemergency scene run-ning the water pump orgenerator,” said DavidSmith, division chief oflogistics for the Pem-broke Pines Fire Depart-ment.
“Responding to emer-gencies places morewear and tear stress onthe components of thevehicle and acceleratesthe aging process of theengine, transmission,
brakes, etc,” Smith said.“Twenty years of emer-gency response resultsin more downtime for re-pairs and more repair is-sues.”
Whi le the c i ty hasplans to replace older ve-hicles and equipment,the city had to tighten itsbelt after the economytanked.
“Because of the econ-omy, every th ing gotpostponed,” AssistantCity Manager Aner Gon-z a l e z s a i d . “ We j u s tmoved everything backa few years where nowwe can purchase thetruck.”

While a recent polltaken among 1,010 Pal-est inians in the WestBank and Gaza showmany predicable results,other findings are some-what surprising.The June 20 survey,sponsored by The IsraelProject and conductedby American pollsterStanley Greenberg andthe Palestinian Centerfor Public Opinion, re-vealed that Palestinianswant their leaders to fo-cus on creating jobs andimproving health careand education. More-over, few Palestiniansview the drive for a uni-lateral declaration ofstatehood as a top prior-ity.
Sixty-one percent ofPalestinians reject theidea of a peaceful Pal-es t in ian s ta te l i v ingalongside Israel as thesolution to the Arab/Is-raeli war, and 80 percent
agree with the statementin the Hamas Chartercalling for creation ofArab and Islamic battal-ions to fight the Jews. Inaddition, 72 percent ofPalestinians support de-nying Jewish history andconnection to the land ofI s r a e l , a n d a n o v e r -whelming percent ofPalestinians insist on Je-rusalem being only thePalestinian capital.On the other hand,Palestinians support ne-gotiations with Israel,backing for Hamas andIran is down, and Pales-tinians oppose a new In-tifada. Most Palestiniansdisapprove of violenceagainst civilians with 59percent saying it was“wrong” to fire rocketsat Israeli cities and citi-zens. However, 29 per-cent said the murder of afamily of five, includingthree children, in a WestB a n k s e t t l e m e n t o nMarch 11, was “right.”

Israel’s local support-ers and opponents en-gaged in debates and ar-guments outside a NorthMiami Publix last week.As South Florida Boy-cott, Divestment, andSanctions organizersconducted a boycot tdemonstration callingPublix to end its sales ofSabra and Tribe brandhummus and food prod-ucts , they were con-fronted by counter-dem-onstrators supporting Is-rael.Aventura resident andIsrael i supporter LizBecker, who attendedwith her friends to “buy-cott” Israeli productsand confront BDS, feltthe group was being se-lective when it came toboycotting Israel.
“If they’re going toboycott, let them boycottright,” Becker said. “Letthem throw away a l ltheir cell phones rightnow. They can ’ t tex tmessage or go on AIMbecause any form of in-stant messaging was cre-ated in Israel.”Becker listed itemsthat were created in Isra-el such as flash drives,v o i c e m a i l , c a m e r ap h o n e c h i p s o n c e l lphones and more
certain products theydon’t use.“Every time they saythey want to boycott Is-rae l i p roduc t s , theyshould boycott all the so-phisticated electronicst h a t d e a l w i t h c e l lp h o n e s , ” B a r r s a i d .“Why are they not doingthat? Israel makes mon-ey every time someonepurchases this equip-ment.”
The protest took placedur ing the Sabbath .Becker said that she feltthat the group deliber-ately planned the dem
they’re doing it.”However, South Flori-da BDS organizers saidt h a t t h e d e c i s i o n t oschedule the demonstra-tion on that date was be-cause it was the easiestday to get everybody to-
