Judge sides with Eaton in residency lawsuit; will remain on ballotBy Michael d’Oliveira

Pelican staff

Fort Lauderdale – Rhonda Eaton will remain on the ballot. That was 17th Circuit Court Judge Raag Singhal’s decision Tuesday regarding the lawsuit brought by her opponent, Tom Terwilliger.

Eaton and Terwilliger are both running in the city’s Dist. 2 commission race. Terwilliger claims Eaton does not meet the candidate residency requirement and should not be allowed to run.

Eaton called Terwilliger’s lawsuit a “political stunt” and said he cast

Pompano Beach – A New York-based company wants to build an event center at this city’s beach.

Pompano Pier Associates has been negotiating with Apogee Events to construct a two-story building suitable for wedding receptions, charity events, corporate meetings and private parties.

At their Oct. 26 meeting, city commissioners unanimously approved the amendment request to Pompano Pier’s development agreement on both first and second readings without discussion.

“We have a very impressive prospect,” City Manager Greg Harrison said.

Wilton Manors – Some residents here are concerned the proposed transit-oriented corridor [TOC] along Andrews Avenue and Oakland Park Boulevard may be detrimental to their neighborhoods and that may cause officials to rethink the TOC’s boundaries.

According to City Manager Leigh Ann Henderson, the current land use is residential, and the city is seeking to change that to TOC.

TOC is a mixed-use residential and commercial area designed to maximize access to public transportation and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership.

Community Development Services Director Roberta Moore said she and her staff met with a consultant to draft the land-use change, which was then presented at a number of community meetings.

Public outreach has been going on for a better part of a year, according to Moore.

However, residents whose neighborhoods are within the proposed TOC fear the impact it would have on their quiet neighborhoods. Some of them expressed those concerns at the Oct. 23 commission meeting.

Ron Burr, who lives on Northwest 30 Court, urged commissioners to alter the boundaries of the TOC so

his neighborhood would not be impacted. Burr’s biggest concerns are that the amount of traffic coming through the neighborhood would drastically increase and property values would decrease exponentially.

He asked commissioners to protect the residents they were elected to serve.

Mayor Gary Resnick said while everyone recognized the importance of improving

Andrews Avenue and Oakland Park Boulevard, it should not be a burden to residents. “I never envisioned impacting single-family residential homes.”

Vice-Mayor Justin Flippen agreed with Resnick, saying there has to be a way to carve out the residential neighborhoods while maintaining the integrity of

Pompano Beach – At their meeting Oct. 26, city commissioners unanimously approved $1.5 million for seven new Broward Sheriff’s Office [BSO] school resource officers [SROs] and five new community service aides.

SROs are trained deputies

Pompano spends $1.5 million on new SROs, aideswho are assigned to local schools and provide additional security for those schools. Currently, there are nine SROs.

According to the Broward County Public Schools website, SROs focus on preventing and responding

to juvenile delinquency and substance abuse and are a source of positive interaction between students and law enforcement. SROs also provide educational opportunities for students.

Service aides are trained personnel who perform

non-emergency duties, such as traffic accidents, crime scene processing and traffic direction. The city has four now. At the Oct. 26 meeting, Pompano BSO Chief Major John Hale asked commissioners to hold an emergency second hearing so the new service aides could attend the Community Service Aide Academy which began on Nov. 1.

Pompano Beach – Bailey Contemporary Arts [BaCA], the epicenter of this city’s thriving art scene, is ready to step outside the box for its newest exhibition, ab-’strakt. It opens with a special reception tonight during the monthly “Untapped” event.

After hosting a string of exhibitions focused on specific themes, such as connections with nature in the Unearthed show and personal narratives like Sara Macel’s “What Did the Deep Sea Say?” the gallery is experimenting with abstract works by three prolific artists of various mediums.

The artists are all veterans of the South Florida art world but come from uniquely different backgrounds.

more regimented patterns derived from aboriginal artwork, using a variety of common and found objects such as guitars and barrels as her canvases.

“There is a certain freedom with abstract work when artists get in the flow and let the materials and expressive gestures of the hand materialize their feelings,” said Juliana Forero, Ph.D., Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department gallery curator.

“Throughout this year, I met the three featured artists at different events. While they don’t know each other

personally, I felt their work would show well together as they share a passion to express their art almost unfiltered – straight from their heart and soul.”

The ab-’strakt exhibition will remain in BaCA’s main gallery through Dec. 22. The artists will be present for remarks and a meet-and-greet on Friday, Nov. 16. from 6 to 8 p.m.

“This is an exhibition that highlights the importance of expression and embraces the departure from figurative forms allowing gestures to take shape to represent ideas, feelings, and concepts,” explained Forero. For more, visit baileyarts.org.

Of the city’s 12,286 business entities, 388 are classified as advanced industrial firms that have hired more than 4,000 high-wage employees. Fifty eight percent of these high-tech companies have plans to expand. In 2018, 209 new business tax receipts were issued.

Construction of new homes is contributing to this healthy economy. This year, 228 residences were completed. In 2019, 378 townhomes will be under construction. In two years, 293 single-family homes and 122 townhomes will be built. Another 201 are pending approval.

In his remarks, the mayor addressed a $38 million bond that will finance major renovations to city facilities.

here remains the Pioneer Grove area around city hall and Dixie Highway which the federal government has designated an Opportunity Zone.

Ganz called out some special community partners. Among them were the JM Family Foundation that contributes dollars and manpower to numerous local

projects and has begun a $150 million expansion of its campus here.

Also on the list of doers was Danielle Rosse, owner of Oceans 234 who provided food to senior citizens at the Palms after Hurricane Irma; Bob Birdsong, president of OK Generators, who has taken on the task of chairing the city’s newly-founded Economic Development Council and Ari Pavan, owner

The Pelican urges Lighthouse Point voters to look to the future and approve bond issue

It may not be the perfect product but the proposed $16.5 million bond issue, dedicated to improving the safety of the public and its employees, very much needs to be approved by Lighthouse Point voters on Tuesday.

The projects – a Cat 5, fire station/emergency operations center, a new public works building, a functional community center and the build out of the existing second floor at the library – have been thoroughly studied by the commission and city staff.

And although some residents would have liked to vote on each project specifically, few are on record as opposing the issue itself.

That would be hard to do because here is the situation.In this affluent city where the average appraised value of a home is $500,000,

the current public works building commonly floods when it rains, the only shelter at Dan Witt Park is too small to safely contain summer campers, the library’s second floor is now nothing more than an attic, and the current fire station is built to mere Category 3 standards – not a safe place for the city’s first responders to ride out a major hurricane.

Improvements to these facilities seem long overdue in a city that prides itself on its pricey real estate, recreational programs and library services. Residents here are also fiercely loyal to their law enforcement officers and fire/EMT personnel, as they should be.

So how can they in good conscience let their public employees work out of substandard buildings?

That’s the image issue.But the safety issue is the real reason residents need these upgrades.Residents are supposed to evacuate Lighthouse Point with the approach of

a Cat 2 hurricane. First responders and other city officials now must leave town when a Cat 3 is forecast. Given the horrendous destruction caused by Hurricane Michael in Florida’s Panhandle, where Cat 3 municipal buildings were destroyed and police departments are still running command centers out of circus tents, the need for a Cat 5 emergency operations center here cannot be denied.

The EOC will be the place where police and fire personnel can either sit out a storm or return and start the process of restoring city services. The new public works garage and the recreation center will be built to Cat 4 standards and can also be used in emergencies.

And the build out of the library? The second story will house the internet servers, a protection against first floor flooding. After Hurricane Irma [a small storm,] residents flocked to the library where service was available for Wi-Fi and computer connections.

Safety is surely the issue here.But let’s think about the city’s upscale image. Public buildings are very much a part of that. The fire department/EOC on

Sample Road and Northeast 21 Terrace will be a handsome landmark at a major entry point into the city.

The public works building will be dry and air-conditioned, a fitting work place for the department that maintains the city’s infrastructure and its fleet of vehicles.

Family-proud Lighthouse Point should have provided its youngsters with indoor recreational space years ago.

The library, the city’s cultural hub, will be able to expand its programming for young and old.

We cannot think of a valid argument against floating the bond issue. Financing these capital projects any other way would take years and years. Bonds, secured by tax revenues, are the most efficient way to make these improvements. Once approved, there is a plan in place to fast-track construction.

Bonds have a modest impact on the taxpayer.Here, the increase in taxes is estimated to be 45 cents per $1,000 of appraised

real estate value, or, for that owner of the $500,000 home, $245 a year.$22.40 a month to get four safe buildings capable of handling the city’s needs

in a disaster.$22.40 a month to give city employees functional, energy-saving workplaces. $22.40 a month to improve the city’s public image.$22.40 a month to play catch-up to the 21st Century.Who among you would vote “No”?

Deerfield Beach – Training super athletes has progressed from mere honing and toning to improving the mind-body connection. And it’s happening in Deerfield Beach.

Barwis Methods has opened its international headquarters in the Hillsboro Technology Center. It is 24,000 square feet of voluminous space filled with all the body building equipment imaginable.

The owner of this provocative training center is Mike Barwis, a 46-year-old entrepreneur who started his career at the University of West Virginia in 1993, moved on to Michigan University in 2007 and then in 2011 founded Barwis Methods, dedicated to the science of holistic human performance.

He now has gyms in Michigan, Port St. Lucie, Georgia and Eastern Europe. In the near future, Orlando and Miami are on the list.

His methods have accelerated the strength and speed of numerous athletes. Around the Barwis gym, trainers drop names like NBA hall of famer James

Worthy, former Pittsburgh Steeler Lamar Woodly, Mets leftfielder Yoenis Cespedes and the Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green.

They are a few of the hundreds of world-class athletes – amateur and pro – who have trained using Barwis Methods.

The new facility here will incorporate a number of training options: elite personal, physical therapy, youth and team clinics, speed and agility classes, nutritional consulting, massage, athlete recovery, performance optimization.

There is a scientific component to all Barwis Methods training.

But one, neurological reengineering, is especially exciting. It holds the promise of regenerating the body.

Donny Vanker, chief of staff at Barwis, explains the concept.

Barwis’ theory is that when muscles need to be rebuilt, for any reason, there is a neuron that must transmit the proper message to the muscle. The science is called neurological reengineering.

The premise is that the body adapts to the intensities

it habitually experiences. It helps the brain relocate, activate and control muscle fibers. It creates pathways to increase stimulation and motor control of the nervous system.

Barwis’ First Step Foundation gives those suffering spinal cord injuries, strokes, traumatic brain injury, Cerebral Palsy and Muscular Dystrophy access to this science.

All protocols used here are designed for the individual to heal and make necessary adaptions.

Praise from athletes who have trained with him is profuse.

“Amazing training. Barwis is a beast,” said Rashad Evans, former UFC light heavyweight champ.

And Dolphins tackle Ndamukong Suh has said, “Perfection to detail and the work ethic is what the staff at Barwis is all about.”

Barwis selected the Hillsboro Technology Center for his worldwide headquarters for several reasons: access to transportation, hotels and the beaches and fact that many professional athletes live in South Florida.

But he was also courted by Dave Mirantz, CEO of the Deerfield Beach Economic Development Council, who provided him with information about this city’s business climate.

He has been featured in such diverse media outlets as People Magazine and Fox Sports. For a time, he had a show on the Discovery Channel, “American Muscle.”

Vanker calls him “the leader on motion . . . and one of the smartest guys on the eastern seaboard.”

Vanker has a personal reason to tout the science that repairs the injured. His own son was born with cerebral palsy and made little progress despite advanced

treatments. That was, he says, until he came to Barwis and the science of neurological reengineering. “No one else could fix his signals,” Vanker said.

On a recent afternoon, the gym reverberated with music as athletes sprinted, jumped, ran against restraints and lifted.

“It’s not for the half-hearted,” Vanker observed.

But there is a softer side to all this high-quality physical performance.

The Barwis gyms are not just for the super athlete or the injured.

Families are a big priority according to Vanker. There are group classes and clinics. A Little League coach can bring his team in to learn about the facility and what is available.

“We want to help be the catalyst to improving the performance of young athletes,” Vanker said.

“When you walk in the door here, you matter. Everyone can benefit from the Barwis Method. It depends on how hard you work and how often.”

Monthly memberships are modest and for those who have a child in a youth class, use of cardio equipment is just $5 an hour.

An important part of the Barwis philosophy is charity, Vanker said.

A major event is being planned for the First Step Foundation and the Athletic Angels Foundation which provides athletic, academic and financial services to impoverished young people. A charity golf tournament will be held at the Parkland Golf and Country Club on Thursday, Feb. 7, 1 p.m. It offers the opportunity to play 18 holes with a professional athlete.

In the agreement, the parcel is now limited to 6,100 square feet. The prospective users need somewhere between 15,000 and 18,000 square feet.

With the amendment, the minimum annual rent paid to the city would increase by $2.46 for each additional square foot of enclosed space over 6,100 square feet. That could result in a $30,000 annual increase in rent paid to the city.

Apogee has 13 facilities at locations in New York City and Long Island, including the Tribeca Rooftop in a 100-year-old building, Tim Hernandez of Pompano Pier told the East CRA Advisory Committee on Oct. 18. East CRA members approved the plan 6-0.

“They want a gorgeous

ballroom overlooking the ocean,” he said.

Hernandez said the benefits of adding the special event space include increased synergies with hotels, more corporate events brought to the area and more consistent mid-week and off-season business for restaurants both inside and outside the pier area.

He said the Pompano Beach Pier Parking Garage would experience increased revenues. And he said the proposed use would result in “a higher profile for Pompano Beach in the eyes of corporate users and event planners.”

The amendment also calls for the size limit for the Oceanic restaurant parcel to be increased from 8,700 to 9,570 square feet and the minimum annual rent to increase from $75,000 to $94,000. The need for more space is largely due to a reconfiguration of the floor plan to expand kitchen cooler and storage areas.

Pompano Pier Associates is developing 48,500 square feet of new commercial development at the beach. The first project to be built in this development, called Pompano Beach Fishing Village, was the Pompano Beach House restaurant.

Pompano Beach – Drew Axelrod calls the Senior Lifestyle & Health Expo a “non-pressured situation.”

Each vendor will provide information on their products and/or services and Axelrod said it’s a situation where there’s much less pressure than if an individual went to the individual business or organization to inquire about what they seek.

With so much in one place, it’s also much quicker.

“It’s a great opportunity to interact . . . They can kind of

bounce around without having their hands tied. They can accomplish multiple things in one venue.”

Attendees can get information on investment planning, advance directives, retirement living, home health aides, hospice, local medical and rehabilitation centers, medical equipment and more.

Axelrod said the Expo is timed to coincide with the Medicare enrollment period – Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. “This is during Medicare open enrollment, so a lot of them go around asking various questions to the healthcare providers. We try to keep a diverse group of vendors. [The attendees] may have different ailments.”

It’s also timed so snowbirds can attend.

“We do this twice a year.

We like the facility. The next [Expo at Emma Lou] is April 1. We try to hold them when snowbirds are around. It’s not just for the full time resident. It’s for the snowbirds, too.”

Along with the vendors, there will be free flu shots and health screenings, door prizes, raffles and free bagels, coffee and hot dogs.

Pompano Beach – The Pompano Beach Planning and Zoning Board has approved a 37-unit apartment building on Northeast 19 Avenue and a 60,200 square-foot building at the Air Park for a flight school.

Gregory Spatz, on behalf of American Flyers Pompano Aviation, submitted plans for a new flight school, ancillary offices and new hanger space. An existing building will be demolished.

The apartment project was presented by NE 19 Ave., LLC. Proposed are studio and one-bedroom rentals on a vacant .63-acre site between Atlantic Boulevard and Northeast 2 Street.

The Pompano Beach Planning and Zoning Board has approved a new 37-unit apartment building on Northeast 19 Avenue

The board, meeting on Oct. 24, recommended placing overhead utility lines underground the developer and paying a fee to the Affordable Housing Trust.

The site is in the Transit Oriented – East Overlay District, an area that allows for reduced parking.

The board also recommended building plans submitted by Malcolm Drilling for a new maintenance building, ancillary office and concrete outdoor storage lot at 1730 NW 33 St.

The property, currently vacant, is in a heavy industrial area.

The applicant will

construct a 10-foot wall on three sides of the site. A 10-foot wall already exists on a neighboring property to the west. The applicant asked to work with staff on landscaping.

Zoning Chair Fred Stacer

said leeway should be given since it isn’t practical to require landscape islands in an area frequented by large trucks.

Deerfield Beach – The Deerfield Beach High School Bucks took on the Piper Bengals Oct. 26 for the District 11-8A Championship. Both schools were undefeated in district play.

But Piper was not up to the challenge and the Bucks romped to a 35-0 win and claimed the district title for the fourth year in a row.

Bucks take fourth straight district title with blowout over Piper High“Our number one goal every

year is to win the district championship,” Head Coach Jevon Glenn said.

“We have won it three years in a row and that is something we don’t take for granted, but I am proud we get to keep the title here for a fourth year.”

The Bucks wasted no time in setting the pace of the game. On their second play, quarterback Derohn King completed a 63-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Dontae Banton, putting the Bucks up 7-0.

“They committed eight, nine players to the box, and they came in saying they were definitely going to try and stop Jaylan,” Glenn

said. “That’s why it was so effective for Derohn to come in and throw a long bomb the first play because they had everyone so keyed on [running back] Jaylon [Knighton].”

The Bucks were forced to switch things up on their next set of downs as safety Tyron Herring entered the game as backup quarterback.

But the readjustment did not seem to be a problem for the Bucks as Herring rushed for a touchdown. The half ended with the Bucks commanding a 14-0 lead.

On the defensive side, the Bucks shut the Bengals out for the fourth year in a row. Defensive end Brandon

Dorlus contributed with two sacks, one stripped sack, two tackles for a loss of yards and a forced interception that Jevon Denis recovered and Herring turned into a touchdown. Denis ended the game with one interception, six tackles and four tackles for a loss of yards.

The game was not without

penalties. Flags were flying on both ends of the field for unsportsmanlike play. The Bucks had touchdowns called back on offensive holding calls. But the Bucks managed to score five touchdowns: two by Knighton, two by Dontae Banton and one by Herring.

Located directly across the street from the picturesque Pompano Beach Municipal Golf Course, the always reliable Zuccarelli has been a fixture on Federal Highway for the past nine years.

“I have been in the restaurant business for 35 years,” says owner Giuliano Vallorani who opened the first Zuccarelli in Margate in 1983.

Serving just about every Italian specialty imaginable, this trustworthy trattoria comes loaded with a great wine list and tons of culinary expertise. The result is high-quality fare at surprisingly low prices in a relaxed ambiance.

The voluminous menu is replete with a seemingly endless array of mouthwatering favorites. Soups include the classic minestrone as well as the hearty pasta e fagiole. Salads such as grilled chicken, Caesar or calamari are also good starters.

On the appetizer front, stuffed mushrooms, mussels marinara, clams oreganata and broccoli Parmigiana are just a few of the tempting choices available.

A host of hot and cold sandwiches also makes an appearance. Sausage and peppers, eggplant, chicken,

“doubts and aspersions” on her. She said she’s glad to get back on the campaign trail in the final week before the election on Nov. 6.

But it may not be finished just yet.

Terwilliger said he will confer with his attorney Kevin Tynan as to whether he will appeal the judge’s decision. “He made the safe call,” said Tynan of the judge. Terwilliger said he’s confident he could have proved his case if he had been allowed to present his witnesses. Singhal said that he had read all of the documents presented to him.

Singhal said the facts show Eaton has lived in her Dist. 2 home since September of 2017 and he agreed with Eaton’s attorney, Joseph Geller, and City Attorney

EatonContinued from page 1

Rhonda Eaton Tom Terwilliger

Mark Berman that she is qualified to run for office under the charter. “With Mr. Geller and Mr. Berman is where I come down,” the judge said.

Berman and Geller both argued that the two charter sections governing candidate qualifying should be read as one.

Berman also said the court should defer to the city’s interpretation of its charter. “I’ll have to defend the honor of the charter,” he said.

Singhal said he looked at the fact that Eaton had lived

in the city at least a year before the election and came down in favor of her because of that. Eaton says she has lived in Dist. 2 since May of 2017.

Under Section 7, “Qualifications and Disqualifications,” candidates can qualify to run for the district they live in if they have been residents of that district “for at least one (1) year immediately preceding their election.”

Under Section 68, “Nominations,” anyone who is registered to vote in the city

and “who has been a resident of the city for a period of one year” may be a candidate. Terwilliger said he believes that means candidates must be residents of the district they want to represent for at least one year by the time of the qualifying period – June of 2018.

Geller argued that because the voting period is underway it would be unfair to voters, who have already cast ballots for Eaton via early voting and absentee, to remove her from the election. “That would mean voters would not have a choice,” said Geller.

After the ruling, Terwilliger said a website advertisement posted on the city’s website before the election was in line with his view of the charter. It has since been taken down. “Why have a city clerk [if what they publish isn’t going to be followed?]” asked Terwilliger.

Before the ruling, Berman addressed the website advertisement and said the city charter takes precedence over anything else published or disseminated.

But like Eaton, Terwilliger said he’s ready to get back out on the campaign trail and let voters in Dist. 2 decide who will represent them.

“Good luck to both candidates,” said Singhal, who commended Eaton and Terwilliger for their willingness to serve.

Deerfield Beach – Woofing Waters, a doggie playground with a decidedly water park theme, opened this month at Quiet Waters Park, 401 S. Powerline Road.

The long-awaited facility features spray hydrants, shower nozzles, a nozzle jet line and hard walking surfaces for large and small dogs. There is also a dog-wash area. The two acres is surrounded by permeable pavement to absorb the runoff.

While the dogs cavort, their owners can relax beneath umbrellas, on benches and at picnic tables.

Restrooms are shared with a nearby marina.

New dog park an upscale retreat for pets and owners

The cost to build this high-end dog park was about $337,000 and was funded by the 2000 Safe Parks and Land Preservation Bond.

The water park theme is fitting for the 430-acre Quiet Waters, which features

Splash Adventure, Ski Rixen, lakes for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and a newly-renovated marina.

The Woofing Waters ribbon-

cutting was followed by a Dog-toberfest, more fun for the pooches and their human parents.

Woofing Waters is open daily 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., except Wednesday when it opens at 10 a.m.

It will be closed during the annual Renaissance Festival in February.

Annual passes are $25; a daily pass is $5. Owners must show proof dogs have been vaccinated.

the land-use change.“We don’t want to

negatively impact the whole thing, but we want to protect neighborhoods,” he said. “If it continues as is, is there a way to establish protections for neighbors? We don’t want to see that area decline.”

Commissioner Scott Newton said he would not vote in favor of the application if Northwest Court were still included within the boundaries.

“We need to find a way to help and enhance the area, but I don’t want to do that on the backs of the residents,” he said. “We need to grow, and we need to change but we have to do that in a smart way.”

Commissioner Julie Carson said she wants to maintain the urban village, small town feel of the city. However, she added, buying homes is a big investment for residents and she sympathizes with their concerns. “A lot of people are scared. This will be the biggest life investment they may ever make.”

Commissioner Tom Green stated officials would study the potential for future development of the area. He

said the city has plenty of time to tweak the plan before implementation.

“There are no bulldozers ready to pounce. We’re talking 75 to a 100 years down the road,” he said. “I don’t support eliminating something the consultants laid out. We shouldn’t eliminate something without knowing the future plans. I’m for protecting neighborhoods but let’s get more detail. To

simply remove something, it destroys everything we wanted to do on Oakland Park Boulevard.”

The ultimate goal, Flippen said, is not for the city to just grow but to grow smartly.

“Zoning is the real issue. We need to articulate in the plan that we want the city to grow,” he said.

Resnick agreed, saying there has to be a way to balance the needs of the city with the

concerns of the residents.“We need to do more

buffering. There has to be a way to do this without threatening the character and integrity of single-family neighborhoods,” he said. “We need to look at how to plan for long-term redevelopment of that area.”

Moore said she would meet with the consultant again and determine ways to change the boundaries, if possible.

Deerfield Beach – In recent years it seems like the only thing that stays the same about the landscape of South Florida is that everything is always changing.

Each neighborhood looks completely different every time you pass through and many of your favorite shops and restaurants now only exist

Island Water Sports celebrates 40th anniversary at “Midnight Madness” as a memory. This makes it particularly special when one neighborhood institution manages to stand the test of time.

On Oct. 19, local surfers, skaters and friends, young and old, gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of iconic surf shop Island Water Sports at its annual “Midnight Madness” block party.

The Deerfield Beach landmark, founded by Kirk

Cottrell in 1978, has been a home base for South Florida’s tight-knit surfing and skateboarding community. Since Cottrell’s passing in 2001, the store has been

owned and operated by his children, Karly, Linsey and Cheyne. Since the early 1980’s, the store’s “Midnight Madness” event has grown from a simple back-to-school

sale to a local tradition with music, skateboarding demos, and special presentations.

In addition to a storewide sale, this year’s landmark celebration included a half pipe for skateboarders with a special “80s ramp jam” featuring resident skaters from the community’s early years.

There was also a special gallery of photos and artifacts from throughout the store’s history and music all day from regional favorites, including Ray Barbee, Uproot Hootenanny, Timothy Eerie and Artikal Sound System. Proceeds from a raffle at the event, as well as a portion of sales, benefitted the Max Brown Foundation, in honor of the late brother of longtime Island Water Sports employee Mia Brown.

deep well and $777,523 for Stantec Consulting Services to design and install the well. The well will be used to dispose of the waste stream created at the city’s water treatment plant.

Commissioners Beverly Perkins and Michael Sobel asked staff members why they didn’t bring the contract to the city commission earlier.

Randy Brown, utilities director, said if the city goes through the normal bid process the cost will be much higher by the time another window is open in 2020.

He said Youngquist bid $7.5 million for a similar injection well in Lee County. Layne, which was hired previously by the city to try and fix its previous well, bid $13.5 million.

WellContinued from page 1

Brown added that because the city doesn’t have a working deep well, the cost to treat wastewater with additional chemicals has gone up by $195,000. The previous well was sealed after officials unsuccessfully tried to repair the lining – an effort that cost about $1 million.

“We started this process in 2017,” said Brown about the previous well. City staff tried to extend the life of the well “but too much erosion had occurred.”

The cost, he said, of disposing of wastewater will also increase sharply from $395,000 to $645,000 if nothing is done now. The lining of the new well is expected to last 50 years. The previous well was supposed to last 20 years. It had a life of 14.

Perkins and Sobel said they understood the need for the well but criticized “the

process” and last minute nature of the request. Sobel called it an “11th hour” proposal.

“How long have we known about this?” asked Perkins.

Brown and City Manager Greg Harrison said they’ve known since July.

“$7 million without a bid. I understand the urgency. I just think the city manager or someone should have brought it to our attention earlier. This just happens to be the last meeting [before the election] and we receive it. I don’t know why we didn’t know this sooner. Why now? $7 million dollars, no bid,” said Perkins.

She accused Harrison of “poor judgment.”

Harrison said city staff alerted commissioners to the problem several times but, after exhausting all other options, this was the first time they could bring the new well

proposal to the commission.“I didn’t know this

was coming until we had exhausted all other opportunities,” said Harrison.

Perkins said she remembers those previous communications but that they were never presented as the kind of emergency it was last week.

Harrison reiterated that it only became an emergency after all the other options were exhausted.

Sobel said a one-line memo highlighting the emergency nature of the issue could have gone a long way.

“This seems to be the classic damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation,” said Commissioner Barry Moss. “But we have an

emergency . . . If we don’t, consider the consequences.”

Mayor Lamar Fisher said the city could possibly lose its consumptive water use permit if it doesn’t get the new well built. A consumptive water use permit allows the user, Pompano Beach, to draw water. He added that the city can’t plan for everything and sometimes emergencies do happen.

“That’s the water that’s provided to our city. If that is in jeopardy, we are in jeopardy. This is a crisis we’re dealing with. It’s got to be fixed . . . rather than sit and point fingers,” said Fisher.

Perkins persisted. “We’re still talking about $7

million,” she said.

Health screenings

Pompano Beach – Free health screenings will be provided on Saturday, Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Islamic Center of South Florida, 1641 NW 15 St.

Deerfield Beach – Everyone’s life is a story, says writer Erica Manfred and she wants to be the person who puts that story between the pages of a book. It’s a mission she believes is good for the teller, the family, even for history.

When she collaborated with Leo Fishman to write “Macro Man,” a memoir marking his 100th birthday, his accounts of Coney Island in its heyday,

Local writer believes life stories leave an important legacyhis World War II years as an Army dentist, his first love and his return to civilian life became very real years to his children and grandchildren.

The memoir’s subtitle, “From Bite to Byte” suggests how Fishman accepted this new technical world to such a degree that at age 80 he taught himself computer programming. To this day, he does macro analytics for a son’s medical consulting business. “He’s a brilliant man,” Manfred said.

Manfred, a resident of Erica Manfred

Century Village, used the skills she honed throughout her long writing career to get Fishman to talk about himself. At first, he did not think he had anything to say. “I was just one of the boys,” he said of his growing up in Brooklyn.

Gradually, he loosened up and was able to interject humor into his stories. “I’ve been interviewing for 30 years. I know how to get people to talk,” Manfred said.

To get accurate information on his ancestors, Manfred employed a genealogist who verified his family tree and came up with some interesting angles to his personal history.

Manfred has been writing for many years and has been published in The New York Times, Woman’s Day, SELF, Ladies Home Journal, and is a contributing writer at Seniorplanet.org., the Atlantic.

com, and other websites.She has co-authored a

memoir with Bob Cranmer, The Demon of Brownsville Road, and two self-help books, He’s History, You’re Not: Surviving Divorce after Forty, and The Doctor’s Guide to Weight Loss Surgery.

Demon is an account of paranormal experiences the Cranmer family had which were also used in a TV documentary series.

Manfred’s own just-published memoir, I’m Old, so Why Aren’t I Wise, is a collection of highly personal, witty essays written after she moved to South Florida.

The chapter titles give more insight into her experiences: “Predictions of My Early Death from Obesity Have Been Greatly Exaggerated,” “The Grateful Almost Dead,”

The lady’s are back

That little cold front that we had pushed the mullet and ladyfish down south to our area. Ladyfish are so fun to catch on light tackle because they jump all over the place. All you need is a spinning rod and a super small jig.

These fish school up on the beaches and in the canals. They are not great eating but they put on one heck of a show. At the shop we

rig them for marlin and the swordfish can’t resist them. If the weather is too rough in the ocean, give the ladies a try!

veal or meatball Parmigiana will warm the soul while capicola, salami, ham and provolone make for a tasty Italian hoagie.

Delectable paninis, such as the fried chicken cutlet, the gourmet veggie, the saltimbocca with prosciutto or the caprese with tomatoes and basil, are popular take-out options.

“We use only Boar’s Head meats for our sandwiches, Perdue chicken for our entrées and Grande cheese for our pizzas. We really believe in offering nothing but the highest quality ingredients to our customers,” say

co-managers Pat Demeglia and Joey Darmetta.

But the true stars of the Zuccarelli menu can be found in the pasta, chicken, seafood

and veal entrée selections. One can enjoy spaghetti with a plethora of sauces – marinara, garlic and oil, meat, sausage and mushroom to name but a few.

Linguini a la Vongole, chicken and spinach lasagna, manicotti, baked ziti, eggplant rollatini and stuffed shells just about complete the authentic

Italian pasta tableau. “Our penne a la vodka is also outstanding,” adds Demeglia with a knowing smile.

Veal and chicken can be enjoyed in a variety of traditional preparations. Lemony butter Francese sauce, Marsala wine and mushrooms, Scarpariella with sausage, classic Cacciatore

and Piccata with white wine and capers are some of the more popular recipes.

Of note is the Chicken Ascoliana with fresh spinach covered in light marinara and cheese. Served with ziti in a homemade tomato sauce, this gargantuan dish of plump

chicken breasts will satisfy the hungry as well as the picky.

“We have customers that order from us six times a week,” says Demeglia. “We are grateful for all the wonderful support we have received from the community over the last nine years.”

The seafood options are equally plentiful and flavorful. A customer favorite is the classic Zuppa de Pesce – a colossal plate of al dente linguini covered with steaming hot jumbo shrimp, mussels, clams, octopus and

calamari in a rich marinara sauce.

Other maritime options include the broiled filet of sole, the shrimp Fra Diavolo or scampi, the snapper Francese and the zuppa de clam.

“Of course, we also make great New York style thin crust pizzas,” insists co-manager Darmetta, a long-time pie specialist who is known for his pizza-making prowess. “Our house special and the meat lovers are the most requested. Plus, we also provide free delivery.”

In addition, Zuccarelli offers creative daily specials and lunch combos, extensive catering service, great outdoor

seating, plenty of free parking and free Wi-Fi.

The remarkably large entrées are priced between $12 and $18 while pizzas start at $9. Wine glasses are $5 and domestic beers are $3.

Manfred is now working on a memoir of a friend who is himself a fine writer but needs her help editing and then bringing the book to market. That’s all part of her latest venture, TellYourTrueLifeStory.com.

She also acts as a writing coach, helps the author find an agent and/or navigate the process of self-publishing. For Fishman’s memoir, she used Deerfield Beach publishers, TriMark Press.

Leo’s three sons paid for his

life to be put between hard covers. It was distributed it at his 100th birthday party held at the 15th St. Fisheries in Fort Lauderdale in February.

It was not inexpensive. But as Manfred believes, “What better gift can you give your family? These older generations are reluctant to talk about themselves. They don’t think they’ve done anything special. But they survived in some amazing times . . . and those stories should be told.” Leo Fishman, wrote his memoirs and distributed the book at his 100th birthday party held earlier this year.

Deerfield Beach – A young artist inspired by Florida’s vivid landscape and coastal waters is this year’s winner of the Festival of the Arts [FOA] poster contest.

Her painting was used as the event’s poster.

A resident of Lantana, Melissa Mastrangelo, 34, said as a kid she always loved drawing, but it was not until she moved south eight years ago that she took painting seriously. A diver and paddleboarder, Mastrangelo found her muse in the ocean.

Now she paints on many things: canvas, walls, guitars,

She also teaches at unusual sites, including 15 local

breweries where aspiring artists learn the craft. She calls her classes “Paint and Pint.” Her work also decorates area bars and restaurants.

This is Mastrangelo’s first

submission in the FOA poster contest. She was encouraged to enter by her friend and last year’s winner, muralist Tiffany Baesi.

She will be at FOA to sign copies of her poster, which will be held Saturday, Jan. 26 and Sunday, Jan. 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Main Beach Parking Lot, 149 SE 21 Ave. The posters can be purchased framed or unframed. More of her work can be seen at dreamincolorartfl.com.
