Unhappy with the cost of permits,
zoning and variance fees in
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Karen
D'uva-Bradley, a resident of Terra Mar
Island, presented a petition signed by
about 50 residents and business own-
ers demanding a restructuring of the
building department and its policies.
Appearing before the town com-
mission last month, she said she plans
to continue to gather signatures. It's
taken longer than she expected, she
said, because,"Everyone wanted to tell
their nightmare story."
Petition signers are asking the


town to take back its building and
zoning Department, which is now run
partly by Broward County.
While there are some nice helpful
people in the department, Uva-Brad-
ley said, several people feel they have
been treated rudely and unfairly by
some county employees.
Recently, she said her husband
Robert applied for a simple permit for
a driveway at their home in the 1600
block of West Terra Mar Drive. It cost
them $1,923 for the whole project.
The permit fee was $278 and the zon-
ing fee cost $50.
A county employee assessed the

PELICAN STAFF
After months of pressure from
members of the public, Pompano
Beach commissioners formally ad-
dressed a proposed code of ethics for
themselves, city employees and ap-
pointed board members.
But it wasn't what they wanted,
and after debate, the code died 6-0.
But that doesn't leave the city
without a code. Pompano Beach
elected officials remain under the state
code of ethics.

job at $3,600. But even after
the receipt for the work was
presented, there was no change
in the fees.
When the Bradleys recent-
ly applied for a permit for an
enclosure on a front door, the
job and supplies would have
cost them $2,500. The permit
fee was $800 plus a zoning
feF of $50. The same county
er~iployee assessed the job at
$7,200. Robert went to talk to
him and showed him what the


job would cost. Again the fees
remained the same.
D'uva-Bradley, a televi-
sion news reporter decided to
so some research of area cities
and their fees for permits. She
said Pompano Beach charges
2.6 percent of the cost of a
project for a permit; Planta-
tion, 1 percent; Deerfield
Beach 1.5 percent; and Light-
house Point 2.5 percent.
In Lauderdale-By-The-
Sea, she said fees range from
7.5 to 11.5 percent, and the
county sets the cost.
"No matter what you pay


for the project, they set the
cost, and you can't do any-
thing about it," she said. In
the other cities, if you can
show estimates or receipts,
the price of your permit can
be reduced.
Variances are priced at
$900 to $3,500 in Lauder-
dale-By-The-Sea, compared
to $275 in Pompano Beach,
$145 in Deerfield Beach and
$150 to $200 in Fort Lauder-
dale.
Recently, the Bradleys
wanted to add a swimming
pool and two-car garage
in their side yard. She said
they were greeted by a town
employee, "a difficult person,
who runs the office like a boot
camp. She said we could do
neither." They were told they
could apply for a variance for
$900.
D'uva-Bradley said the
department has been run by
"interpretation" for a long
time.
"There are a lot of gray


areas where the building
inspectors decide what-they
think the code means," she
said.
Bradley complained of the
"incompetence, arrogance and
price gouging."
Selina Maselli, a county
permitting and licensing spe-
cialist, confirmed that the fees
D'uva-Bradley cited as cor-
rect. The fee for the driveway
permit included a minimum
permit base fee of $111, a
plan review charge of $52, a
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea per-
mit surcharge of $16.86, and a
permit fee of $67, she said. A
county means index is used to
come up with the valuation.
The $50 zoning fee covers
the cost to review the paper-
work and complete an inspec-
tion.
She suggested those with
complaints about the fees
complain to their county com-
missioner, since the commis-
sion sets the fees.
Last month, town com-

missioners agreed to have
the town attorney draft an
ordinance for first reading
Jan. 8 to reduce the cost of
ordinances to a maximum of
$250.
D'uva-Bradley called the
process a "crapshoot." Even
after paying for the variance,
the resident doesn't get the
money back if the variance
isn't granted. She and her
husband have since decided
not to do the front door en-
closure, but she said they
were extremely satisfied the
commission is doing some-
thing about the high cost of
variances.
Frank Rabinowitz, direc-
tor of developmental services,
estimated the town handles
10 to 20 variances a year. He
said he has worked in several
cities, and the fees were about
$900 in all of them because
of the cost of a quasi-judicial
proceeding.
Town Manager Esther
Colon said the town has to
pay a planner, engineer and
the town attorney for the
proceedings and the cost of
advertising.
Rabinowitz added that
fees are based on the true
value of a permit. If it's a
false representation, the
percentage is based on the fair
market value.
The commission agreed
to discuss creating its own
building department at the
Feb. 26 meeting.
Colon said when they last
looked into the matter, cost
was estimated at $70,000 to
$80,000 a year.

Verbal profanity exchanged at Lauderdale-

By-The-Sea commission meeting


By Judy Vik
PELICAN STAFF
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea
Mayor Oliver Parker an-
nounced he is sending a letter
to a local newspaper demand-
ing a front page retraction of
an article noting that he has
made a "behind-the-scenes
deal" with three commission
candidates to become town
attorney if they're elected.
During a town com-
mission meeting Tuesday
in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea,
Parker called the article in the
Jan. 4 edition of By the Sea
Times, "a flat-out lie" aimed
at destroying reputations. If
no retraction is made, Parker
said he will take legal action.
Parker asked mayoral
candidate Roseann Minnet

if anyone from the said news-
paper had called them about
the "so-called deal." All three
said no.
"They didn't call me
about making a deal," Parker
said. "I don't want to be town
attorney, and I didn't agree to
any such deal."
Parker said he respects
Town Attorney Jim Cherof.
"He makes a better town at-
torney."
The article included a
copy of a letter Parker wrote
July 22, 1991, to the then
town manager Joseph Daly
asking to be considered for
the position of town attorney.
Parker said at Tuesday's
meeting that he is retired from


the active practice of law. He
is not running for re-election.
Parker complained that
he had never been consulted
before the story ran. He added
that the newspaper had ac-
cused four commissioners of
committing a federal felony,
and "It's a total lie."
The article, headlined
"Nightmare Scenario. Parker
as Town Attorney," featured
a shark as an illustration. The
story claimed its information
came from "reliable sources"
and was written by an un-
named "staff writer."

Clark and John Yanni, adding,
"I've promised nothing, but
they will do a better job than
the jerks running on the other
side."
During his turn for com-
missioner comments, Com-
missioner Jerry Mclntee said
he wanted to address several
lies about him in the last edi-
tion of the By the Sea Future,
a second local newspaper.
McIntee he had been ac-
cused of making a proposal
to terminate the contract with
the Broward Sheriffs Of-


fice and create a scaled-back
police department in town.
He said he has made no such
proposal.
The newspaper also
accused him of spending
$37,000 for video surveil-
lance cameras. He said the
funds would come from
seized drug money and not
from taxpayer dollars.
In other business, com-
missioners voted 3-2, Com-
missioners McIntee and Jim
Silverstone dissenting, to
approve a site plan subject


to several conditions for the
Buena Vista Hotel, 20 condo
hotel units at 4217, 4225 El
Mar Drive.
The town's planning and
zoning board recommended
approval subject to condi-
tions, including modifying the
elevator penthouse, burying
utility lines, using native
landscape and reducing the
height of rooftop palms.
In recommending approv-
al, Frank Rabinowitz, director
of development services, said
the project totally complies
with code.

PELICAN STAFF
Sherry Palmer, owner of Chit-
Chat's Lounge at 826 N. Federal
Hwy., often thought about the young
men and women stationed overseas.
Palmer says, "My next door neigh-
bor has a son in Iraq about whom we
all worry. And I often overheard my
customers in the bar saying they wish
they could do something for our troops
serving far from home. I decided it
was time to act and that's how Opera-
tion We Care of Pompano Beach got
started. I called Bill and Joy over at
Starlite and Amy and Connie over at
Yak-zie's and they were all enthused
about setting up collection boxes for
our troops and shipping them to my
neighbor's son and Amy's son, after
being assured by both that they would
distribute the contents of boxes to
troops at their base. They even e-
mailed us lists of items they need so
we would know what to collect and
send.".
Palmer adds, "What we take for
granted, they treasure. We simply
didn't realize that they have limited
amounts of treats and even everyday
necessities. Our first shipment of 42
boxes went to the two young men we
knew about. They were ecstatic to re-
ceive the boxes. By the way, this is not


a Christmas effort. We intend to keep
collecting and sending as long as the
contributions come in and our troops
remain far from home."
Asked if the feedback indicated
favorite items to receive, she nods,
saying, "Their favorite thing turns out
to be sugared, powdered drink mixes
because they always have water, but
have very limited access to flavored
drinks. They also listed packaged
snacks, visine, chapstick and sun
screen as most appreciated items."
Amy Turner, bar manager at Yak-
Zie's Bar and Grill, 868 S. Federal has
a son, SPC John Turner, stationed in
Camp Liberty, Baghdad.
"He's on his second tour," she
says with pride. "We sent half of the
boxes to his unit of 33 men and he dis-
tributed the contents. Later he wrote
that all the guys were thrilled with
everything. His favorites were the
packages of Famous Amos chocolate
chip cookies."
Over at Starlite Lounge, 960 N.
Federal Hwy., owners Bill Auxier and
Joy Soderlund said that they had very
generous customers.
Bill adds, "They're dropping in
snacks, razors, everything on the list.
It's amazing and they all feel good
about being able to do something for

suit.

our troops, and we feel good, too."
At Chit-Chat's, Palmer laughs
when she tells about what went on
when it was time to ship. "My custom-
ers came out of the woodwork to help
pack and write shipping labels. Every
box needs a U.S. Custom's form and a
mailing label."
Palmer says, "Amy, who has been
shipping boxes all along to her son,
guided us on how to proceed. The
post office provided 75 boxes plus the
double labels right here. Amy taught
us how to pack, label and ship. My
husband and I took the boxes to the
Post Office on dollies, and it took us
one and a half hours to mail the boxes

Commission meetings in

Lauderdale-By-The Sea are

not pretty pictures

We broke a policy this week in running a story regarding another news-
paper. The idea of this unwritten policy is something akin to 'honor among
thieves.'
But that doesn't mean we can sit back and allow something that we know
to be false to ride the waves of the media. And this is just one more example of
how Lauderdale-By-The-Sea's business is being derailed at every meeting.
The story, page 3, "Verbal profanity exchanged at Lauderdale-By-The-
Sea commission meeting" is a snapshot of what is going on in this town,
where only a few years ago, commission meetings had one objective, and that
was to do, in a civil fashion, the work of the town.
The civility of this week's meeting reached a new low as Mayor Oliver
Parker referred to a business owner and publisher of a newspaper as a person
with his "head up his -ss."
Two things led Parker to this point. He's been in the cross hairs of two
commissioners, Jerry McIntee and Jim Silverstone for nearly two years. We can
understand how that wears on the spirit. But the onus of that behavior lies with
those who promulgate it. And as mean-spirited as these remarks have been for
years, Mayor Parker's use of profane language at a public meeting is inexcus-
able.
If anyone in this town had any power to demand civility, both Parker and
the publisher should have been evicted from the meeting.
But it is the second part of this meeting that completes the snapshot of pub-
lic meetings in this town.
Four-fifths of the news story focused of the riotous bantering of these two
so-called town leaders. The last part, only a few inches, gave space to a bit of
business that was completed that night.
This town has a great deal of work to complete for its residents and tax pay-
ers: How will they deal with the pending Bert J. Harris claims? The courts have
deemed the claims viable. The town is appealing that decision, and soon every-
one will know if the tax payers of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea will face more than
$20 million to compensate the property owners who lost value in their proper-
ties resulting from the passage of a new height limit.
Voters forced four-story height limits on buildings that had been annexed
into the town in 2001, and more than a dozen of these buildings were already 15
stories high.
The town needs open and honest discussions about fire and EMS services.
That issue needs to'move out of the political battle and into responsible ex-
changes.
Municipalities are throughout the state, seeking ways to economize, con-
serve and preserve their towns. This is what Lauderdale-By-The-Sea officials
need to get on the table of the public forum.

"Ask Lori... Parrish on Appraisal"


Help Us Complete Your
Residential Property Survey

Dear Lori,
Our family received your News for Broward Taxpayers Newsletter with the
2008 Homestead Exemption renewal mailing. On the back of the newsletter
is a residential property survey your office wants us to complete. Why is this
survey so important?
J. H., Pembroke Pines, FL

The Broward County Property Appraiser's Office is currently in the process
of upgrading our computer assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) system to better
serve the taxpayers. We are requesting your assistance in improving and updat-
ing our property records. Our existing computer system is rather antiquated
and never tracked physical details of properties such as the number of bed-
rooms and bathrooms, carport and garage spaces, pools and jacuzzis, etc.
If you received our newsletter in the mail with your Homestead renewal
notice, you have the option of completing this quick survey online at www.
bcpa.net/survey using the PIN number printed on your renewal receipt. If you
do not have a PIN number or you do not have a home computer, you must use
the printed form to participate. Please see the back page of our newsletter if
you'd prefer to respond using the printed form. Once complete, simply fax the
survey to 954.357.8474 or mail to: Property Appraiser's Office, 115 S. An-
drews Avenue, Room 111, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301.
If you are computer friendly, be sure to look up your property on our
website as we've recently added building sketches to those pages. Just click on
the blue "See Sketch" link on the lower right-hand side of the property record
page and please call 954.357.6831, if you see any errors in the sketch of your
home.
Please take a few minutes to help ensure our records about your property
are accurate. While completing the property survey is purely voluntary, any
assistance you provide will help ensure you pay no more than your fair share of
taxes.
If you have any questions about this survey, please contact our Residential
Appraisal Division at 954.357.6831 or email dstaruch@bcpa.net. I strongly
urge you to complete this special residential survey. Thank you in advance for
all your help in making our office even better.
Sincerely,
Lori Parrish, CFA

If you have a question for Lori, please call her office at 954-357-6904, or
email her at Lori @bcpa.net or write to her at the Broward County Property

Teen with diabetes hopes suger-sniffing dog will bring her better health


By Judy Wilson
PELICAN WRITER
Lighthouse Point shop-
pers may remember Jill
Chambers, an 18-year em-
ployee of Publix supermar-
kets, first in Venetian Isle and
later on the management team
that opened the store in the
Shoppes at Beacon Light.
Her husband, Chuck, is a
25-year alumnus of the giant
grocery store chain. Now he
owns a pool service business
and Jill has retired to care
for their teenage daughters,
one of which, 17-year-old
Jennifer, has hard-to-control
diabetes.
Jennifer has had the
disease since she was five,
a complication of a chicken
pox virus that attacked her
pancreas. "We were shocked,"
Chambers said, "and worried
that our other daughter who
also had chicken pox, would
develop the condition."
That didn't happen, but
Jennifer became insulin de-
pendent and now must wear
an insulin pump. Even so,
her blood sugar is difficult
to control, her mother says.
She often comes dangerously
close to seizures.
Chambers hopes she has
found a solution to the ongo-

ing problem: Heaven Scent
Paws, a Missouri organiza-
tion that trains dogs to de-
tect blood sugar levels. "If
Jennifer's sugar drops, the
body puts off a fruity odor; if
it goes too high, it' a chemi-
cal smell. Her sugar has never
been at a controllable level.
These dogs alert you before a
coma occurs," Chambers said.
She has corresponded
with Heaven Scent and the or-
ganization will provide Jenni-


fer a dog trained to sniff sugar
for $7,500, a cost determined
by the family's circumstances.
The family is in the process
now of raising the money.
Perhaps because she
understands the affects of
illness, Jennifer herself works
with another non-profit, Let's
Peace It Together, an organi-
zation that brings miniature
horses to area hospitals as
therapy for patients.

Health Care Products at Mobility City offers

customers medical supplies and.wheels


By Phyllis J. Neuberger
PELICAN STAFF
Karen Baratta is the
owner of Healthcare Prod-
ucts at Mobility City, 1541
E. Commercial Blvd. on the
north side of the street be-
tween Flannigan's and Boston
Market. "This is a great loca-
tion," Baratta says, "because
it's so close to Holy Cross and
many medical offices. A lot of
doctors send people to me for
special products and equip-
ment which I usually have.
If I don't have it and there's
a need, I will get it and stock
it."
In fact, while this inter-
view was taking place, Debo-
rah Ceresa stopped in to buy a
special cast protector, sug-
gested by Dr. Brian Fingado,
orthopedic surgeon. Her arm
was in a cast from hand to
elbow to heal her broken
scaphoid (a bone in her hand).
After Baratta showed her two
choices, she selected the more
sophisticated one because she
said, "This one will keep my
cast dry in the shower, pool
and hot tub."
Baratta is very responsive
to introducing the newest
products as well as keeping
the old standbys in her retail
store which stocks medical
supplies from ice packs to
scooters for people of all ages.
She says, "I've been in this
business for 20 years, in this
location since 1999."
Like most Floridians,


Baratta came here for the
weather. "My husband, Vinny,
used to be here with me, but
he has moved on to an inter-
net business. He now sells
space to medical suppliers and
I have Michael Davis assist-
ing me. We service people
in the store and provide free
delivery to the home. This
is especially valuable to the
housebound."
Carol Greenberg will
vouch for that. A long time
customer receiving home de-
livery, she says, "My mother
was housebound for years and
needed a variety of products. I
found the people at Healthcare
Products to be reliable and
very kind. I almost came to
think of them as family. They
even helped me get emergen-
cy equipment on very short
notice. I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend them."
Baratta feels with her
experience and low prices,
she has a lot to offer people
who need healthcare prod-
ucts. Her showroom walls are
stocked with aids for daily
living such as back cushions
and supports, bandages and
dressings, bath safety, blood
pressure monitors, cervical
pillows, commodes, shower
chairs, grab bars, heat pads,.
cold packs, incontinence prod-
ucts, orthopedic braces and
supports, ostomy supplies,
respiratory supplies, urologi-
cal products, siz baths, over
the door traction TENS unit
and accessories and more.

A collection of Jobst
compression hose for men
and women gives customers
a choice of moderate, firm
and extra firm compression
in knee high, thigh high and
waist high styles in beige,
suntan and black.
There are Pride lift chairs
in a variety of colors, and
wheeled equipment offering
mobility to those who need
help getting around. There
are transport chairs, wheel
chairs, wheeled walkers and
motorized scooters. "Every-
thing is available and well


priced," the owner says, with
pride, and adds, "We get a lot
of referrals from podiatrists
because we stock a good
number of products for toes,
heels, arches, bunions and
insoles."
Baratta says, "I love this
business because it's a helpful
business. I know my mer-
chandise, and I can suggest
many simple solutions for
common ailments using prod-
ucts stocked right here. Open

planes in Europe and in the
Pacific. This annual event is
an opportunity for them to
personally tell the stories of
their war missions.
Known as "A Gather-
ing of Eagles," Dana says
this event is an experience
in "reliving history not to be
missed," and the public is
encouraged to attend.
There is no charge to visit
and view the planes, and inte-
rior tours are available at $10
for adults and $5 for children.
A flight can be reserved
on one of these bombers at a
cost of $400. Call 800-568-
8924.
The average cost of keep-
ing either plane in the air is


$3,000 per hour, and the flight
fees help offset this expense.
These tours are sponsored
by the Collings Foundation,
a non-profit, educational
foundation (501c3), founded
in 1979. The purpose of the
Foundation is to organize
and support "living history"
events that enable Americans
to learn more about their heri-
tage through direct participa-
tion.
About the planes
The B-17 was made
famous in its role in the
Daylight Strategic Bombing
Campaign of WWII and the
post-war movies, such as The
Memphis Belle, that made
it an icon. The B-17 flies
regularly across the United
States with its companion, a
B-24 bomber [Liberator] on a


mission of peace and remem-
brance. No longer avoiding
anti-aircraft fire or the terror
of enemy fighters, these vin-
tage aircraft stand as a living
history exhibit for the nation.
The annual Wings of Freedom
Tour visits over 130 cities.
There are 14 B-17s cur-
rently in flying condition
flying in the U.S.
The B-25 became most
famous for the Doolittle Raid
on Japan, the first American
attack made on the Japanese
mainland after the attack
on Pearl Harbor. This flight
was depicted in the book and
movie Thirty Seconds over
Tokyo. This famous raid saw
sixteen B-25s take off from
an aircraft carrier, the USS
Hornet, on a daring mission
that brought morale back to

America in a time of war.
The B-25 was not designed
to fly from an aircraft carrier,
but it was adapted to do so.
The B-25 was known for its
adaptability to varied combat
circumstances.
Many B-25s practiced
short take-offs during the war
at the Pompano Beach airfield,
then a military training field.
Dana says those Pompano
Beach exercises were top se-
cret. Military servicemen built
a very small wooden house on
the runway that represented
the tower on the aircraft car-
riers.
"The B-25 pilots would
take off from the northwest or
southeast runways. They had
to rev their engines to near
explosion levels, lower their
flaps, and then with noses held
high, the planes would lift off


with tails often scraping the
ground," he added.
B-25s, which had twin
engines and twin tails, nor-
mally require at least 1,000
feet for take-off, but from the
carriers, they had much less.
This plane became one of the
most influential bombers in
the war.
The B-25 was a universal
low-level bomber used in
Europe and the Pacific. This
plane could fly so low in the
Pacific, pilots had to attach
parachutes on the bombs to
give the planes time to get
away from the explosions.
The B-24, known as The
Liberator, came later. The
last known B-24 flying was
in Pompano Beach two years
ago. It is now undergoing
maintenance and will not be
part of this air show.

Johnson
Continued from page 1

as the top defensive back in
the country, shocked every-
one Saturday afternoon.
After publicly rescinding
his verbal commitment to the
University of Miami earlier,
Johnson went on to reject the
overtures by Florida's big
three schools, Miami, Florida
and Florida State.
Johnson chose Louisiana
State University to be his
home for the next four years.
Johnson, who had been
recruited not only by the
Florida powerhouses, had
received personal visits from
head coaches Pete Carroll of
the University of Southern
California and Butch Davis
of the University of North
Carolina, decided at the last
minute to head west rather
than staying home.
In the game Saturday at
San Antonio's Alamo Dome
Johnson, who had two tackles


and three assists in the game,
lived up to his reputation as
the country's best high school
defensive back.
The opposing quarter-
backs in the East-West match
up refused to throw the ball in
his direction.
It was a tumultuous week
in San Antonio for John-
son, who has already earned
enough credits to graduate
and may enter LSU as a
freshman this semester.
On the day before he was
to travel to San Antonio for
his all-star appearance, John-
son was named Defensive
High School Football Player
of the Year by USA Today
newspaper.
A physical defender with
a 4.37 second speed in the 40-
yard dash, Johnson had seven
interceptions, including one
returned for a touchdown on
defense. Three other intercep-
tion returns for TDs were nul-
lified by penalties. In addition
he accounted for nine more
TDs on offense.


In addition, Johnson was
named local player of the year
by the South Florida Sun-Sen-
tinel.
In mid-week, Johnson,
who had verbally committed
to the University of Miami
late in his junior year, rescind-
ed his commitment.
Johnson, rated the No. 1
defensive back in the country,
said he dropped UM from the
list because he felt the coach-
ing staff lost interest.
Recruits and coaches usu-
ally maintain contact through-
out the process, but Johnson
said he heard less from the
staff in recent weeks.
"It was basically how they
handled things after I commit-
ted," Johnson said.
"They stopped calling me
and were not showing me any
interest."
Prior to Saturday's all-star
appearance, Johnson received
yet another award.
On Tuesday, Jan. 1 John-
son was announced by Sport-
sLink and the Maxwell Sports
Club as a 2008 High School
Maxwell Award Winner. The
Maxwell Award Club has been
honoring football players at
collegiate and professional
levels since 1935. It began
honoring high school players
this year.
Best known for the an-
nual selection of the "College
Player of the Year;" the mag-
nitude of the Maxwell Award
is significant and an impres-
sive cast of former winners.

Ethics code
Continued from page 1

At last week's meeting,
Pompano Beach Vice Mayor
E. Pat Larkins, who had just
returned to the dais after a
long recovery from surgery,
called the debate "an exercise
in silliness, With all of this ri-
diculous nonsense, I probably
should not have come back
until next month," Larkins
said.
The proposed code of
conduct ordinance had been
on shaky ground to begin
with.
Pompano Beach has been
wrestling with the issue of
a code of ethics for nearly a
year.
It has been a front burner
issue since October when
commissioners held an unof-
ficial "straw vote" to discuss
the item.
But after the discussion,
they voted 4-2 to strike the
item. However the item was
revived in November,
At that point they di-
rected City Attorney Gordon
Linn to write an ordinance
patterned after the code of
ethics that had been approved
by the Broward County Board
of Commissioners.
It was that ordinance city
commissioners visited this
week and in the end scrapped.
The ordinance, a seven
page document, outlined
the rules of conduct, items
deemed improper and the
mechanism for complaints,

sense, I probably should not have

Brummer offered a sec-
ond amendment, which would
have removed one phrase
"and must avoid even the ap-
pearance of impropriety in the
performance of their duties
and responsibilities."
That change failed due to
a tie vote.
Following that vote, no
one was happy. Hardin fired


the final shot. Hardin said he
never intended this to cover
city employees or board mem-
bers, just the members of the
city commission.
"This exposure could keep
people from serving the city,"
Hardin said.
Following his statement,
the commission, for the time
being, killed the proposed
code of ethics.

Rotary and Centennial groups host arts &

craft fair at CitiCentre this weekend

Antique car show and children's event highlight the fair


By Anne Siren
PELICAN STAFF
It's time to give the family a little
time, and this weekend, The Rotary
Club of Pompano Beach is offering the
perfect outing for everyone.
It's the First Annual Arts & Craft
Show, Jan. 12 and 13 at the CitiCen-
tre.
And the giving doesn't stop there.
Rotary President Al Siefert spends
most of his time supporting the various
activities that eventually support a va-
riety of charities locally, nationally and
throughout the world.
"Rotary sponsors four students a
year with full scholarships. We also
give to many charities like Wood-
house, Rebuilding Together, Sample
McDougald House,The Pompano Cen-
tennial, Junior Achievement, Shelter
Box, Reading is Fundamental, Pom-
pano Beach Historical Society, Coop-
erative Feeding, Dynamos and Senior
Volunteers," says Siefert.
Beyond that this club supports a vil-
lage in Guatemala and provides dental
assistance in the Dominican Republic.
Al adds this is the club's first at-
tempt at an art and craft show, and he
says the credit goes to Chairperson
Shigla Finazzo and her volunteers who
are organizing the event.
"It's truly turning into much more
than just a run of the mill arts and
craft festival with more of an interac-
tive community/family event flair with
everything else that will be happening
throughout both days. We hope every-
one will stop in and visit the vendors
and property to make this a successful
festival and help establish it as an an-
nual event," said Finazzo.
Besides vendors offering arts, crafts


and more, local students will be per-
forming in a variety of events. Pom-
pano Beach High Drama Department,
First Christian Academy, Pro Am
Dance Studio, Velocity Martial Arts
Studio, and Music by Marty Fischer,


as well as a wine tasting by Rotelli's
Pizza Pasta.

the main sponsor of the fair, and says

Ask Lorraine










Lorraine Andy is a graduate of
Barry University with a masters
degree in social work. She is a
licensed clinical social worker-
with the State of Florida and a
certified hypno-therapist.

Dear Lorraine: I want
to find more free time in
2008. I am very busy and
loaded with responsibilities
from my work to my family.
I love both of them, but I
seem to have lost the part of
loving me. Can you help?


Dear Lost: What you
are describing is the formula


Meeting your needs is critical to
self esteem and a healthy life


for burn-out. Learning to
balance self-care with the
responsibilities of career and
family are challenging for
most people. Those who do it
well understand that their own
happiness is as important, if
not more so, than that of the
ones they are responsible for.
Taking time to de-stress and
center within yourself is vital
to healthy living. Allowing
yourself to become depleted, is
not good for the body and has
been linked to many medical
conditions.
Ask yourself how you treat
a close friend or loved one
whom you truly value?
Most likely you spend
time with that person, sharing
special meals, relaxing times
and fun activities together.
Is this how you treat
yourself? You are as important
and more so than everyone


else around whom you are
emotionally supporting.
Thinking this way is a part
of high self-esteem and is
not selfish. The more of your
own needs that you meet, the
happier you will be and the
more you will have to share.
We absolutely teach
others how to treat us by the
way we treat ourselves.
Setting time aside
for yourself gives-others
the message that you are
important, and in turn they
will honor and respect your
decisions to take care of
yourself once you set the
limits.
Asking for the support and
help you need is also very
important. You cannot nor do
you have to do it alone. You

Ask Mother
Nature
By Norbert Izworski
PELICAN WRITER

Q. Is there any way to
produce clean energy from
coal burning power plants?

A. No. All power plants
that burn fossil fuels produce
the greenhouse gas, carbon
dioxide. Burning coal is espe-
cially dirty.
Current research is ex-
perimenting with sequestering
the carbon dioxide in under-
ground oil fields.
Researchers are also look-
ing into converting carbon
dioxide into bio-fuels through
the growth of algae.
These fast growing, single-
celled organisms gobble up


carbon dioxide during photo-
synthesis.
Moreover, they split
nitrogen oxide, a precursor to
smog, into harmless nitrogen
and oxygen.
For the past year, exhaust
from MIT's main power plant
has been bubbling up through
algae soup.
This has resulted in a
dramatic cut in carbon dioxide
emissions, with an additional
bonus of abundant algae that
can be turned into bio-fuel
with uses similar to diesel.
Bubbling the plant's flue
gases through the algae mix-
ture has reduced carbon diox-
ide emissions by 82 percent
on sunny days, and 50 percent
on cloudy days, and cut nitro-
gen oxides by 82 percent.
Utility companies have
been watching field trials of
the algae soup system with

keen interest, hoping to com-
bine low-cost exhaust cleanup
with renewable-fuel produc-
tion.
Several initial field trials
have been conducted at coal
burning power plants with
success.
The current limitation is to
develop the technology into a
cost effective process.
HR Biopetroleum, an al-
gae bio-fuels company based
in Hawaii, has developed a
low cost, high production,
proprietary technology to


produce bio-fuels from algae
ponds, using photo bioreac-
tors.
In a joint venture called
Cellana, Shell Oil Company
and HR Biopetroleum will
soon build a demonstration
facility on the Kona Coast of
the island of Hawaii.
This facility will grow
various native species of algae
in open-air ponds for harvest-
ing and converting into diesel-
type fuels.
This demonstration project
is expected to produce up to 6


thousand gallons of bio-fuel
per acre per year.
A full-scale facility of
50,000 acres could produce
300 million gallons of bio-
fuel each year.
If this technology was ap-
plied to one thousand power
plants in the United States, it
could significantly address the
problem of Global Warming.
You can participate in this
experiment by purchasing a
flex-fuel vehicle. That way,
you will be ready to use bio-
fuels as they become avail-
able.

Don't miss out on the upscale and mouth watering


offerings at Federal Grille in Lighthouse Point


Federal Grille
3150 N.
Federal Highway
Lighthouse Point,
Tel: 954-786-3113

By Macolm McClintock
PELICAN WRITER
It was approaching lunch-
time when I paid a visit to the
recently opened Federal Grille
in Lighthouse Point. Already
having established a solid
reputation for its evening fare
based on a culinary founda-
tion of fresh seafood and
tender meats, I had to find out
what co-owner and Executive
Chef Johnny Pak had in store


for the lunch crowd.
It was clear, lunch at
Federal Grille takes ho second
place to dinner.
Instead of the evening
14-oz Filet Mignon or 24-oz
Porterhouse, diners can opt
for the Open Hickory Grilled
Beef Tenderloin Sandwich
with Asiago bread, crum-
bled Maytag, onion rings
and fresh garden greens.
Instead of a 3 to 6
pound Maine Lobster, the
lunch crowd can dive into
a more manageable Lobster
Salad or the Panko Crusted
Lobster, or the Crab and Scal-
lop Cake with a delectable
remoulade sauce and garden
greens.


The idea is simple: take
the building blocks of the
evening menu and use them
to produce lighter salad and
sandwich creations for the
noontime repast. I can whole-
heartedly attest that this laud-
able objective is reached with
_ resounding success.
As I was eating alone
on this day, I decided to
sidle up to the beauti-
fully appointed bar to
enjoy the company of
Jamie the bartender as
well as other solo patrons.
The gentleman to my left
requested a glass of the house
Cabernet and encouraged me

to do the same. I soon found
myself holding a delightful
glass of Avalon red wine and
perusing a menu that was very
sophisticated in an unpreten-
tious way.
My first inkling of just
how skillful the Federal
Grille was at delivering an
affordable yet upscale selec-
tion of midday fare came
with my order of the Grilled
Skirt Steak Panzanella Salad
with baby Arugula, mari-
nated tomatoes, roasted garlic,
Asiago bread, lemon, smoked
bacon and sliced cheese. The
many morsels of perfectly
cooked medium rare steak
blended seamlessly with the
plethora of fresh vegetables
and Arugula, coated in a
lemony house vinaigrette.


The calculated combination
of grilled meat, whole roasted
garlic cloves, smoky bacon,
pungent cheese, red onion and
tangy salad dressing produces
one of the most flavorful salad
dishes you are likely to find
anywhere.
In fact, I enjoyed this
dish so much that I decided
to have most of it packed for


take-out in order to bring it
home to my wife who is a
fervent salad aficionado. This
judicious maneuver allowed
me to then order the beauti-
fully composed Slow Roasted
Turkey Brie Pita with fresh
garden greens. Although un-
assuming in its stated simplic-
ity, I was told by manager and
co-owner Sharon Cobb that


Bartender Jamie welcomes you to the Federal Grille with a warm smile and

this was a lunchtime favorite
that should not be missed.
Shortly after, I was given
an ornate presentation of re-
markably moist turkey slices
smothered in gloriously melt-


ed Brie cheese with a layer of
tomatoes all neatly packed in
a grilled pita pocket. It was ac-
companied by a hearty serving

a honey-mustard vinaigrette
which was the best I have
ever tasted.
In a brilliant move, the
same vinaigrette is used to fla-
vor the sandwich, thus provid-
ing an enlightened continuity
to the different components of
the dish. After the tasty turkey
creation, I took a bite of one
of their made-fresh-daily

For those of you with a

Short on Time?
That's no reason to miss breakfast. Here
are some quick, yet creative, morning
meal ideas with Best Life-approved
foods:
-Choose a cereal that is an excellent
source of whole grain and flavor it with
8th Continent Light vanilla soymilk. Sub-
stituting soymilk for cow's milk is a good
way to reap soy's heart-health benefits.
-Pair a low-fat yogurt with fruit and nuts.
With varieties like Key lime pie and
harvest peach, Yoplait yogurt keeps the
combination interesting. .
-Create your own omelet with low-fat
cheese and veggies to get a head start on
daily vegetable intake goals. Keeping
canned or frozen Green Giant vegetables
on hand will ease preparation.

Water Angels pays tribute to community volunteers to assist organization


SPECIAL TO THE PELICAN
The Inaugural Water An-
gels First Responders Ap-
preciation Luncheon was
held at the Pompano Beach
Elks Lodge on Thursday
Nov. 15. The event was or-
ganized by Michael Miller
of the Water Angels char-
ity, which promotes pool
and water safety for chil-
dren.
Deputy John Stabile was
presented with the Law
Enforcement of the Year
awarded by the Children's
Safety Council in Broward
County.
Stabile is currently pres-
ident of the St. Coleman's
Mens Club and past grand
knight. Stabile was picked,
not only for his heroic job,


but for the extrodinary ef-
forts within the church and
community, said Miller.
"Due to excellent plan-
ning on the part of the com-
mittee and volunteers, the
event was a huge success,"
Miller said.
The first responders of
Broward county were wel-
comed by over 200 stu-
dents from Pompano Beach
High School, Pompano
Beach Elementary School,
and Little Flower Montes-
sori School. The children
displayed posters and ban-
ners.
The Pompano Beach
Exchange Club distributed
American Flags.
The various First Re-
sponders groups displayed
an array of vehicles in

front of the Elks Lodge,
including fire trucks, res-
cue vehicles, a marine pa-
trol boat, mounted police,
a SWAT armored vehicle


and a string of BSO motor-
cycles.
Event sponsors included
King Toyota, Lowes, Ex-
change Club, Rotary Club,


Pompano Beach Elks and
the Mens Club from St.
Coleman's.
Miller spoke about how
Water Angels was formed
and how the charity's
safety information is now
ready to get out to the pub-
lic, including a brochure,
a website and a DVD is
in progress with Pompano
Beach Ocean Rescue.
Awards were presented
to the Lifeguard of the
Year, Fireman of the Year
and Law Enforcement Of-
ficer of the Year. A Years
of Service to Broward

20 The Pelican








.VIluu y, llu,% -V AXI,


Pompano Beach residents could have final say on


future of beach parking lots at November polls


By Joe Hartmann
PELICAN STAFF
Pompano Beach residents
will have the ultimate say on
two city parking lots, currently
used for municipal parking.
The commission passed an
ordinance that places a possi-
ble revision to the city charter
on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The ballot question will ask
voters to decide for or against
a prohibition of the sale by the
city of the two municipal park-
ing lots, a 14-acre tract on the


Barrier Island.
The land, which is ex-
pected to be the site of the new
library, fire house, lift station
and community center, is cur-
rently owned by the city.
Without passage of the
charter amendment, the prop-
erty could be sold or leased by
consent of the city commis-
sion.
Mayor Lamar Fisher said
the ordinance would help
secure the land for city use.
"This ordinance is a long time
in coming," Fisher said.


Bud Garner to Speak on

Pompano People

Pompano Beach's City Historian, Bud'Garner, will be the featured speaker at
the Historical Society's monthly public program on January 16th. The program
begins at 7:00 PM.
Mr. Garner will speak on local residents who, while they were alive, were well-
known in town and made a significant contribution to the community, but may
be little-remembered today.
In the small pre-World War II town of Pompano, almost every resident know
everyone else in town; people could not hide their character.
And Pompano had more than its share of characters.
Join us for an informative and entertaining evening and learn about the people
who helped shape the community.
The program is open to the public and refreshments will be served.
Thefre is ample free parking adjacent to the Historical Society's Hood Center,
located at 217 NE 4th Avenue, Pompano Beach.


Brummer, while not op-
posed to the city retaining
control of the property, said he
felt that this item need not be
handled as a charter revision.
"The best protection for
this property is to build on it,"
Brummer said. "The charter
should be the road map for the
city; it isn't intended for these
types of specifics."
Brummer pointed out that
while the city annexed neigh-
borhoods in the northern part
of the city, the charter has
never been revised to include
those new neighborhoods
within the boundaries of the
city.
The matter of whether the
ordinance should include pro-
hibition of leasing the prop-
erty was also discussed. City
Attorney Gordon Linn said,"If
approved by the voters," the
land will be secured. The only
way it could be transferred in
any fashion would be by an-
other charter amendment vote
by the citizens."
In other action, the com-
mission authorized city of--
ficials to enter into an interlo-
cal agreement with Broward


County, the Broward County
School Board and other
county municipalities for pub-
lic school concurrency and
facility planning.
The agreement, which


needed to be ratified by all
Broward communities, put
in motion a plan for school
construction based on popu-
lation needs.

Broward County Receives
$7.7 Million in Federal
Funds for Homeless Pro-
grams
The U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban
Development's (HUD)
announced in late Decem-
ber that Broward County
will be awarded more than
$7 million for a variety of


programs to assist homeless
individuals and families.
A portion of the $7.7
million award will be used
to fund a new housing proj-
ect for homeless residents
with disabilities.. Of the 14
awards for Broward Coun-
ty, six were for permanent
housing, which includes
313 beds, and six for tran-
sitional housing, renewing
408 beds. Two other pro-
grams were for supportive


services for 240 emergency
or permanent housing beds.
These programs will serve
both homeless adults and
youth.
It is satisfying to see our
federal partner providing
Broward County with ad-
ditional financial resources
to address this unfortunate
and growing need," said
Broward County Mayor
Lois Wexler. "Broward
County invests $12 million


a year to help end home-
lessness. We also encour-
age cities, businesses, the
faith community, caring
neighbors and others to
financially join our initia-
tive to eradicate this social
stigma in our county."
The new federal awards
to Broward County rep-
resent the second highest
award level in Florida. The
$7.7 million award exceeds
Broward County's previous
year award by $100,000.

Continued from page 21

According to Larry
Schuster, acting planning
director, the plan calls for
no new schools to be built
in Pompano Beach due to
the fact that the city's el-
ementary, middle and high
school facilities are below
maximum enrollment.
In the future, develop-
ers will have to submit
applications to the school
board based on the possible
impact on additional student
population.
The commission ap-
proved a bid of $218,400
by Industrial Roof Repairs
to reroof the Olson Civic
Center.
It also approved a con-
tract with Broward County
Supervisor of Elections
Brenda Snipes to conduct
the city balloting on March-
11.
According to City Clerk


Mary Chambers, the cost
to the city will be approxi-
mately $148,000.
There will only be
balloting in District One,
where incumbent Kay Mc-
Ginn faces challenges from
Barry Dockswell and Travis
Williamson arid in District
Three where incumbent Rex
Hardin faces a challenge
from Daniel Horak.
There will be no bal-
loting in District 5 where
Commissioner George


North Broward

Club Meeting


Brummer is unopposed or
in Districts 2 and 4 where
Commissioner Charlotte
Burrie and E. Pat Larkins
terms have not expired.
There are no city wide
issues on the March ballot.
In a related manner,
commissioners have asked
that the matter of moving
municipal elections to the
general November election
date be placed on an upcom-
ing February agenda.


Democratic


The public is invited to a debate between Pompano Beach
City Commissioner Kay McGinn and opponent Barry Dock-
swell at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 23 at the North Bro-
ward Democratic Club meeting. The meeting will be held at the
Pompano Beach Civic Center, 1801 NE 6th Street, Pompano
Beach, 33060. Refreshments will be served. The meeting is free
and no reservations are necessary. For more information, call
954-771-1105.
