The City of Hollywood launched its RecycleBank rewards program Feb. 1 and collected 253 tons of recyclable material in its first

week, an 85 percent increase from the amount collected the same week in 2009, said Public Works Director Greg Turek.

The program, which encourages residents to recycle by rewarding households with points for their efforts, attracted 9,864 people to register with RecycleBank as of Feb. 17, and these registered households earned more than 560,000 points in the first week of the program.

After signing up, residents can redeem these points at local and national retailers and restaurants, including Publix, Winn-Dixie and Target, and more than 40 local businesses have registered as reward partners.

In addition to benefiting residents and local businesses, the new recycling program also benefits the City.

Turek said it costs the City around $98 to incinerate one ton of garbage. Any recyclable material kept out of the waste stream not only reduces the cost of garbage disposal, but also earns the City money – since the City receives $58 per ton of recycled material, he said.

“The savings and revenue is our big advantage,” Turek said.

New 95-gallon recycling carts – distributed to more than 30,000 households in January – have a personalized

identification tag. Recycling trucks read this tag, record the weight the household recycled and convey the number to RecycleBank. RecycleBank will then convert the amount to points and credit the resident’s account.

And instead of the previous once-a-week pick-up schedule, trucks will collect recycling every other week on residents’ regular

trash pick-up days.After the first run last

month, the program encountered several problems, which Turek described as normal for the

More than 30,000 households received new 95-gallon recycling containers for the new Recyclebank program.

“We have the most incredible trauma team.” – AMY, Mother and Pediatric Trauma Nurse

Jason

Amy, a trauma nurse at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, had met the emergency helicopter many times before. But this time was different. This time, the patient was her 8-year-old son, Jason.

While walking home from school, Jason had been hit by an SUV and suffered a head injury. He was airlifted to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, where his mother and the trauma team waited. Amy’s experience, and her faith

in her “phenomenal” colleagues, kept her calm.

“We have the most incredible trauma team,” Amy says. “I knew Jason would be getting the best care.” Thanks to the team’s extraordinary expertise, and Memorial’s

remarkable brand of patient- and family-centered care, Jason recovered beautifully.

“I know firsthand how fortunate we are to have Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in our community,” Amy says. “I wouldn’t want my child to go anywhere else.”

The hard-fought efforts of the Hollywood Women’s Club to save its historic clubhouse recently got an unexpected boost from a $20,000 matching-funds donation, and club leaders are hoping it will

inspire others in the community to take up the challenge.

For several years, members of the Hollywood Women’s Club have tried to raise funds to preserve its wood-frame clubhouse – an important piece of the club’s history built in 1927 and a designated National Historic Site and Hollywood Landmark.

Restoring the 83-year-old house in the North Lake neighborhood at 501 N. 14th Ave. will require a new roof, new foundation and pilings, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and various aesthetic improvements, all expected to cost between $125,000 and $150,000.

Club president Shelly deMarco said fundraising efforts hit a speed bump when the economy took its downturn.

“Last year we really worked hard and

barely saw $12,000,” she said. With an unexpected phone call in

January came renewed hope for the restoration project. DeMarco said a Hollywood resident, who cares deeply about historic restoration and has a special interest in the Hollywood Women’s Club and the charitable work it has done in the community since its establishment in 1922, made the charitable donation.

The $20,000 donation “was her way of saying, ‘Get the job done. Let me help you,’” deMarco said.

With the donor matching other contributions up to $20,000, the club’s fundraising effort is slowly beginning to take on new life.

“People are stepping up,” deMarco said. “We’re trying to get the word out.”

The club’s new donation challenge is part of a multi-prong approach that has included fundraising activities, clubhouse rentals and an online shopping program that donates a percentage of sales to the Hollywood Women’s Club.

DeMarco figures that with the matching-funds donations the club will have about $90,000 in its restoration budget – still tens of thousands of dollars short of its goal.

Phase 1 of the project – which included interior upgrades, beautification and the rebuilding of the clubhouse’s termite-damaged front wall, which was deflected inward during Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 – has been completed. In 2009, the City of Hollywood honored the Hollywood Women’s Club with the “Historical Preservation Project of the Year” award.

The next part of the restoration process begins this month with the replacement of the clubhouse’s leaking roof. But the biggest part of the restoration is yet to come. While the frame of the 1,700-square-foot, Classical Revival-style house is sound, it was built on sludge and is in need of a new foundation. The clubhouse will have to be raised in the air while 25-foot-

deep pilings are erected and the entire foundation is replaced.

“That’s our big challenge, to make the money for that,” deMarco said.

A recent minor setback, in which vandals smashed four clubhouse windows, has only strengthened the resolve of members to preserve the charming meeting place that deMarco calls “our heart and soul,” a happy space where local women gather to do good for the community.

“It really is the spirit of the Women’s Club,” she said. “It’s a center for the community, actually – for charitable work, for socialization, for networking.”

The mission of the Hollywood Women’s Club is community improvement through volunteer service. The club, which helped establish Hollywood’s first public library, has raised money through club activities for numerous charities that include Kids in Distress, Women in Distress, Broward Outreach Shelter, the Salvation Army, Born to Read Program, Hacienda Girls Ranch, Canine Companions and college scholarships for teenage cancer survivors.

The Hollywood Women’s Club, part of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), boasts 92 members ranging in age from their early 20s to their 90s. Meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month and a day group meets one Thursday each month. Membership is open to all women, although the majority live in Hollywood. Annual dues are $40.

The Hollywood Women’s Club hosts a variety of fundraising activities, from twice-monthly ballroom dance classes to special events such as the Spring Market Place, which will feature antiques, “junktiques,” collectibles and new and used merchandise from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 27 on the clubhouse grounds. Vendor spaces are available for $20 for members and $30 for nonmembers.

DeMarco said members of the Hollywood Women’s Club know “what needs to be done” to preserve their beloved clubhouse.

“We have the players in place. We’re ready to go,” she said. “We just need the money.”

For more information on making a donation to the Hollywood Women’s Club, renting the clubhouse, club membership, upcoming events or a discounted online shopping program to benefit the club, call 954-925-9394 or visit www.HollywoodWomensClub.org.

While most celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with green beer and corned beef and cabbage, Jeffrey Yannitty will celebrate the Irish holiday by shaving his head…one day before his wedding.

Yannitty, along with around 30 other participants, will shave his head in support of the 160,000 children diagnosed with cancer each year in an event called St. Baldrick’s.

The nonprofit St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which started as a challenge among friends, has progressed to a national level that organizes the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research.

Its motto: “Shaving the Way to Conquer Kids’ Cancer.”

“We’ve all been affected by cancer somehow in our lives, whether directly, through a friend, family member or pet,” said Christine Tush, Yannitty’s finance.

“Some have questioned our sanity for having Jeff sign up to have his head shaved the day before our wedding. Jeff’s bald head will affect one very special day. The cause will affect many days and many lives. We think it’s worth it.”

Yannitty and the other local volunteers will have their heads shaved in exchange for pledges of financial support. Yannitty hopes to raise $500 for the

cause, contributing to the more than $68 million raised by the foundation since its inception in 2000.

The Hollywood event, which raised more than $23,000 for childhood cancer research last year, is set for 4 p.m. Saturday, March 13 at Mickey Byrne’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, 1921 Hollywood Blvd.

For more information on the Hollywood event, call 954-921-2317. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization and donations are tax-deductible.

During the Greater Ft. Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce’s Centennial Meeting last month, the Chamber honored Elsie Johns, of Melina’s Lingerie Shoppe on Hollywood Boulevard, for 54 years of dedication to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Johns, along with other long-standing Chamber supporters, was recognized for years of doing business in South Florida, and the event’s keynote speaker, Thomas J. Donohue, President & CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, also addressed the honorees.

An active member of the Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce since 1956, Johns owns and runs Melina’s Lingerie Shoppe, the oldest Downtown, family-owned business in Hollywood. Her family founded the store in 1946 and has owned it ever since.

“My life’s successes and positive outlook is due to my philosophy, ‘Enjoy your work, and don’t forget to live your life, too.’ It’s as simple as that,” Johns said.

Engaged in the Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale community for years, Johns currently serves on the Board of the Salvation Army of Broward County and the U.S. Navy League. Her other community affiliations include the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art, the Hollywood Art and Culture Center, the Florida Opera Society and the Broward County Historical Commission. She was also designated a “Broward County Pioneer” in 1992.

The Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and its Board of Directors thanked Johns for her tireless efforts to grow and strengthen the Chamber.

Former semi- professional dancer Edna McGrath raised four children and was content to spend her golden years at Hollywood’s Orangebrook Estates adult community – but she never got the show-biz bug out of her system.

Luckily for McGrath, the 82-year-old dynamo behind the community’s annual Fun Follies Show, she didn’t have to. McGrath acts as the director, producer, photographer and a performer in Orangebrook Estates’ entertaining variety show, which will make its seventh appearance at the community pool March 21.

More than 200 residents attend the Fun Follies Show each year, which features musical and dance acts, comedy skits and celebrity impersonations.

“It’s a big production,” McGrath said.

The idea that came about one day during her casual poolside chat with neighbors has grown into a popular tradition complete with a rehearsal schedule and costumes and a cast of about three-dozen performers between the ages of 55 and 85.

What would seem like a daunting task for your average octogenarian is a natural fit for McGrath.

“I’m a dancer, and I’ve done shows,” she said.

The Massachusetts native was a member of the Dancing Mothers of Miami troupe and performed several times on cruise ships. For 23 years, she’s worked for Carnival Cruise Lines and

continues to put in four-day workweeks as a cruise specialist.

McGrath’s familiarity with live productions has served her well. In the inaugural Fun Follies Show, for example, several mobility-challenged residents wanted to

participate in the show. They performed the song “Chattanooga Choo Choo” in decorated wheelchairs and electric carts, traveling in train formation around the pool.

This year’s show will feature about 24 acts, opening on a rousing patriotic note with the full cast singing “God Bless America” and “O Canada” and performing a precision march to “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

Individual acts will include McGrath performing a jazz dance routine, several solo vocalists, an Electric Slide line-dance group, square dancers and the Orangebrook Country Band,

which also has played at the community’s monthly pool party for the past five years. Conspicuously missing this year will be Jamaican singer “Calypso Ray” Baylis, a veteran of previous shows and a familiar musical presence at Tugboat Annie’s in Dania Beach, who passed away in February at age 82.

In true “the show must go on” fashion, this year’s show will include some fun and unusual acts: a group of Marilyn Monroe look-alikes singing “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend,” wise-guy wannabes performing a skit

and singing “That’s Amore,” and several numbers featuring not one but five Elvis Presley impersonators.

Orangebrook resident Bob Spence, who plays bass guitar in the Orangebrook Country Band, is one of the show’s only professional performers. Spence, 71, who happens to be a distant relative of country music star Dolly Parton, started performing as a teenager in his native Sevierville, Tenn.

Spence, who also plays the banjo, guitar and ukulele, played with various bands until about a year and a half ago. Perhaps his best-known country band was The Naturals, which played in South Florida in the 1980s and ’90s.

But Spence always had a “real” job.

“I was a Twinkie guy,” said the former distributor for Little Debbie Snack Cakes, who also worked for Murray Cookies and Hostess before retiring in 1992. “I’ve been a cookie man and a cake man all my life.”

Fellow variety show performer Michelle Savoie, 61, is a retired accountant for a power company in Atlantic City, N.J., who boasts the distinction of being Orangebrook Estates’ original

Elvis impersonator. Savoie, who sings and plays the guitar, has built on her Elvis persona through the years, donning a black wig, big glasses, a red jumpsuit and a pair of old sneakers painted to look like the legendary blue suede shoes.

This year, the Elvis impersonators will perform individual songs as well as sing “Hound Dog” and “Blue Suede Shoes” as a group.

“People have fun when they see this,” Savoie said.

For McGrath, the Fun Follies Show is a way to do something good for her community and bring happiness to others. But the seniors involved with the production get back as much as they give.

“I tell people, ‘You don’t sit down and do nothing. Keep moving, keep going,’” McGrath said. “We’re not professionals, but we’re here to have a good time and do the best job we can.”

And the performers enjoy watching the annual production as much as the audience does.

“They put on a show. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Spence said. “It’s really a fun thing, but it’s really a good little thing.”

After a nationwide search and 145 applications, City Manager Cameron Benson has named Tanja Gerhartz the new Executive Director for the Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).

Gerhartz brings more than 25 years of local economic development and planning experience to the CRA ranging from real estate redevelopment and targeted business recruitment to negotiation of incentives and assessment of fiscal and economic impacts.

Gerhartz worked for the City of Orlando for 20 years, including serving as Economic Development Director where she supervised more than 200 employees and oversaw a $37 million budget. In this position, she established auditing and monitoring functions, economic investment strategies, oversaw the largest private investment in Downtown Orlando’s history, revamped the downtown marketing and events strategy and created a downtown business incubator. She is currently president of

Gerhartz and Associates, a planning and economic development consulting firm based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

“Ms. Gerhartz brings the perfect blend of experience and expertise that is critical to moving the CRA districts forward,” City Manager Cameron Benson said. “She has a proven track record of success in addressing many of the challenges currently facing our CRA districts from retail recruitment to budgeting and economic analysis. She should be an impact player right from the start, which will be a major benefit to the City of Hollywood.”

The Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency was created under the authority of Florida’s Community Redevelopment Act of 1969. The CRA’s mission is to encourage economic development through the use of tax increment financing by funding development, special projects and services that address areas of community concern.

City appoints new CRA Director

Meet the Author Rabbi Laszlo Berkowits

Book and Author: The Boy Who Lost His Birthday: A Memoir of Loss, Survival, and Triumph by Rabbi Laszlo Berkowits When: Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. Where: Holocaust Documentation and Education Center 2031 Harrison Street Hollywood, FL 33020 RSVP: Seating is limited, so please RSVP to Irina Daniel at (954) 929-5690 or email [email protected].

The Boy Who Lost His Birthday is the uplifting story of one man's journey from boyhood in rural Hungary to triumph over oppression during the Holocaust and finally to a role as a spiritual leader in America. Rabbi Laszlo Berkowits' compelling memoir recounts his happy childhood memories in Derecske, Hungary where he was a member of a thriving Jewish community and aspired to become a cantor. Stricken with wartime poverty, Berkowits and his father left their home and family behind to seek work in Budapest. It was there that they were rounded up with other Budapest Jews and shipped by sealed train to Auschwitz in the summer of 1944. Berkowits vividly narrates his treacherous experience as a sixteen year-old boy surviving in the notorious Nazi concentration camp until its liberation by American troops.

This book may be purchased online at sites such as Amazon.com. It will also be available for purchase after the presentation, when the author will personally inscribe your copy upon request.

Slated to open in November 2009, the Yellow Green Farmers market ran into permitting violations, postponing its much-anticipated opening. Three months later, the market still needs to address many structural, fire and zoning permitting violations.

Once opened, the 100,000-square-foot-venue, located next to I-95 just off Taft Street, will house 300 vendor booths under cover and offer a wide variety of natural products ranging from produce and fruit to flowers and goods made by local artisans.

As of Feb. 5, approvals for the project include plumbing, mechanical and electrical permitting issues, and disciplines that are not approved include structural, fire, zoning, engineering, and drainage/water/sewer issues, said Jaye Epstein, director of the Department of Planning and Development Services.

Structural and fire codes that the market still needs to address include installing two fire hydrants on the eastside of the structure, creating an additional exit on the southeast side of the property, eliminating parking in the area of the Fire Department connections and locating it

near proposed gates on the west side, as well as four other revisions.

The Yellow Green Farmers market must also address 16 zoning issues, which include landscape, curb, pavement and sprinkle system issues, Epstein said.

In addition, the market must also provide a traffic study to determine what, if any, enhancements to surrounding roadways will be necessary to maintain adopted level-of-service standards.

The market advertised its Nov. 8 grand opening for weeks, despite warnings from the City that the venue couldn’t open until permitting violations were addressed, and attracted more than 1,000 people hoping to shop the new Hollywood establishment. All were turned away at the entrance.

Owner Abraham Lalo, who publicly stated his frustrations with the City of Hollywood, was out of the country and unavailable for comment at press time.

Cinderella Ball honors outstanding womenby Brett DalyAssociate Editor

The National Association of the Mother and Daughter Bonding Network, Inc. – a nonprofit organization committed to healing or improving the bond between mothers and daughters and to making the rearing of daughters with good morals, values and strong family ties possible – will host its third annual Cinderella Ball fundraiser March 13.

The event, which also features a three-day conference for mothers and daughters, will feature an awards presentation honoring women who excel in business, social service and commitment to their communities and families. In addition, the Granny Awards will honor 12 grandmothers for their dedication and commitment to their families and their communities.

“We look for women who have been pillars in their families, work in their communities and who haven’t been recognized,” said Bessie Fletcher, founder and CEO of the Mother and Daughter Bonding Network. “The whole event is about trying to find unsung heroes.”

The organization will honor Lisa

Pliner, a mother, wife and creative director to her shoe-designing husband, as National Mother of the Year for her accomplishments with the Peace for the Children Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising funds for initiatives that advance the welfare and care of children in need. Pliner and her husband began focusing their efforts on children after adopting their daughter, Starr Emmanuelle, from an orphanage in Kazakhstan three years ago.

“Mothers are the key ingredient to the healthiness of our future families, and as our daughters grow and become mothers themselves, they take with them the tools and lessons they get from their own mothers,” Fletcher said. “Therefore, the bond between mother and daughter is the key to the success of good moral values of our future generations.”

The Ball, which will be held at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood at 7 p.m., will also honor

eight other mothers and daughters.Hollywood honorees include

Jennifer Sandomir, publisher of the Hollywood Gazette, for Corporate Mother of the Year; Roberta Moise, of the Greater Mount Pleasant AME Church, for Spiritual Mother of the Year; and Valerie Panciera-Reith, of Landmark Funeral Home, for Local Mother of the Year.

Seats for the Ball are $75.00. To purchase seats call 786-462-6470. For details about the conference or the ball, call 954-239-8100 or send an e-mail to [email protected].

SHONDELLE SOLOMON-MILESFITNESS COLUMN

1. Stop doing long, low intensity, repetitive cardio exercise…this includes walking on a treadmill for 45 minutes or doing the elliptical machine for 30 minutes while catching up on your favorite TV show. There are many

disadvantages to doing this type of cardio: It’s boring, you don’t burn many calories, your metabolism doesn’t stay elevated and it’s boring.

Instead of focusing on long bouts of slow cardio, increase your intensity so that you’re maximizing the number of calories you burn during your exercise sessions and most importantly after your workout. For example, sprint for 30 seconds and walk for one minute, repeating 10 times. (If you can’t sprint, walk on a steep incline.) Advantages of this high-intensity, interval workout include burning more calories during and after exercise, increasing cardiovascular capacity and much faster results.

2. Stop wasting money, time and energy on abdominal belts, rockers, loungers and other infomercial ab-gimmicks...Despite the misleading

infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using these magical ab contraptions. You cannot burn fat in a specific area of your body by simply exercising that area. This is called spot reduction and does not exist. In fact, you have no control over where your body burns fat. So instead of wasting your time doing crunches or using these devices, focus on exercises that strengthen your core and burn calories, such as planks, overhead squats and mountain climbers.

3. Stop Eating So Much Starch…starches include foods like potatoes, rice, bread, cereal and pasta. Most people consume way too much starchy carbohydrates relative to the amount of calorie expenditure. Your body stores a finite supply of carbohydrates in your liver and muscles. Once that supply is full, it’s full, and additional carbohydrate consumption will be stored as fat. Limit your starchy carbohydrate intake to mornings and after an intense workout session, and this still should not exceed 1 gram of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight.

Shondelle Solomon-Miles is the owner of Synergize! Studios in East Hollywood. For more information, visit www.SynergizeWeightLoss.com or call 954-924-4465.

Three keys to burning belly fatEvery year millions

of people who prepare and file their tax return get a refund check. This annual filing obligation, along with millions spent on advertising tax

preparation to get a fast refund, gives the perception that a tax

refund check is a good thing. Many taxpayers get so caught up in

the tax refund hype that they don’t even realize that part or all of the refund check is their own money. Utilizing FREE tax preparation software, a friend or family member or paying a tax preparer for a fast refund does not adequately apply the ever-changing tax system to your financial advantage.

Studies show that taxes represent the single biggest expense over your lifetime. You need to take control of your taxes and take control of your money.

Often I hear taxpayers make comments like, “My tax return is simple,” “My friend does it for me,” or “I only have a W2 and no other deductions.” These are signs that they don’t understand that if you want to reduce your largest lifetime expense,

then you need professional advice. This attitude has a negative outcome for the taxpayer. Today they avoid paying to file with a real tax planner but miss lowering the tax burden by hundreds or even thousands of dollars every year over their lifetime.

We complain about today’s checking, saving, money market and CD accounts having dismal and awful interest rates. However, most taxpayers are delighted to receive back their own money and earn nada, zip, zilch, zero interest from the government. So why do so many taxpayers find it acceptable to let the government take and use your money all year long for free? Taxpayers have been taught to believe that a large tax refund is a good thing.

When you change the way you think about your taxes, you will benefit from a larger net paycheck, a smaller tax burden and the power of investing.

The simple truth about taxes is the less you plan, the more you pay!

This month’s column is personal. I have a family member who I hope will consider bariatric surgery. I also work with a woman who had bariatric surgery three years ago. She is my nurse. She looks incredible, lost 90 pounds and

considers it the best money she ever spent. She also is my patient and all of her medical conditions were “cured” by her procedure, and when she brings in “before” pictures, I have trouble recognizing her.

There are an estimated 61.3 million (30.5 percent) obese adults in the United States, and 9.6 million morbidly obese adults. Obesity, a leading cause of death worldwide, is a condition where excess body fat accumulates to the extent that it adversely affects health. In a doctor’s office, a number called the body mass index (BMI) is calculated to determine obesity levels. Healthy values range from 18.5 to 24.9. Anything above 30 is obese, while anything above 40 is morbidly obese.

Many common diseases are strongly associated with obesity. Life expectancy decreases by 20 years for a morbidly obese man and five years for a morbidly obese woman.

The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise, and anti-obesity drugs may be tried. When these treatments fail, the last resort is surgical intervention or bariatric surgery.

To qualify for bariatric surgery an individual must meet specific criteria.

How does bariatric surgery work? Simple. The bariatric surgeon alters your digestive tract – the stomach and small intestine – making it impossible to eat much food in one sitting. There are two main types of surgery:

Restrictive Surgery (Lap band, 1) stomach stapling or vertical banded gastroplasty). These procedures alter the size of the stomach to restrict calories. The size is reduced to the size of an egg using special staples or a silicone band. These are reversible and don’t fundamentally alter the anatomy of the digestive system

Malabsorptive Surgery (Roux-en 2) Y). This is a two-part procedure. First, the surgeon reduces the size of the stomach, and second, the surgeon bypasses the first portion of the small intestine. This causes food to pass more rapidly through the digestive tract. So, even if the patient over-eats, fewer calories will be absorbed.

The Success rate for bariatric surgery is very high. Also, high blood pressure is cured in 50 percent of patients, Type 2 Diabetes is cured in 80 percent, sleep apnea is cured in 75 percent, and shortness of breath is relieved in 80 percent.

The cost of the procedure can be substantial, and not all health insurance plans cover it.

There are risks to both procedures, but with experienced surgeons in an appropriate hospital, the risks are minimized. Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood has been designated as a “Center for Excellence” for bariatric surgery. There are free informational seminars offered on a regular basis for those considering the surgery. One group of surgeons I highly recommend has a very informative Web site at www.hollywoodbariatrics.com.

Obesity is an extremely common problem and a very serious health concern. It goes far beyond cosmetics. It is an excellent reason to visit your doctor and begin a discussion.

Teachers from Rainbow Montessori Pre-School in Hollywood, in combination with a parent-led fundraiser, donated $3,000 of their sick pay to UNICEF for Haiti relief efforts last month.

The teachers came up with the idea as they struggled with how to make a bigger impact without having to upset what are often tight budgets at home. Gila Burke, director of Rainbow Montesssori, was happy to participate in the gesture.

The Supervising Director of the school, Schella Simmons, a Haitian herself, expressed pride and appreciation for the participation of her colleagues, some of whom are also of Haitian decent.

“My people are suffering,” Simmons said. “I have family who have lost everything. Some didn’t make it. To know my colleagues are supporting my homeland fills me with emotion…really good emotions.”

On Saturday, February 27, eight local delegates competed to earn Hollywood titles that will allow them to go on to compete in state and national pageants. Contestants were judged on interview, swim suit and evening gown performances. Independently produced by the Hollywood Jaycees, the annual event was held at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center.

Miss Hollywood uSA brittany Freeman is a Florida panthers ice Dancer and former Miami Dolphins Cheerleader. She is attending Miami Dade College and pursuing a degree in broadcast journalism.

Miss Hollywood teen uSA Jasmine Avery is dually enrolled at Dillard Center for the Arts and broward College. now an official title holder, Avery was last year’s first runner up in the competition.

Sheridan Hills Christian School recently sent one of its football student athletes to a Division I school for the first time in its six-year history.

Senior David Delsoin, a 6-foot-6 inch, 280-pound offensive tackle, signed a letter of intent to play at Florida International University, a huge accomplishment for both Delsoin and the school, said Sheridan Hills Head Coach Joel Dunn.

“We’re a small, growing program,” he said. “We’ve sent plenty of athletes to play at smaller colleges but never to a Division I program. This represents where we’ve come from and where we are going.”

In addition to Delsoin’s success, the Sheridan Hills Sharks Football Team has had three straight appearances in the playoffs and also won a district championship.

Eight Chaminade-Madonna High School varsity football seniors signed letters of intent last month with colleges across the country to play college football.

Demitri Beal, 1st Team All-County in Defense, signed with University of Cincinnati.

Hans Louis, named Defensive Player of the Year, signed with University of South Florida.

Travis Bridges, 1st Team All-County in Offense, signed with the Naval Academy.

Witney Sherry, 1st Team All-County in Defense, signed with University of Buffalo.

Sandro Jean-Baptiste, 2nd Team All-County in Defense, signed with Southern University.

Jamal Williams also signed with Southern University.

Charles Takeh signed with Yale University.

And Albert Gonzalez signed with Ohio Dominican.

“These seniors led Chaminade-Madonna football with heart and passion this past season,” said Athletic Director Paul Herfurth. “They should be proud of their accomplishments both on and off the field.”

launching of any new program.Problems included some households

not receiving the new recycling carts, recycling trucks missing some households and some residents not receiving their points.

Turek said the City is addressing all the problems that have crept up. He said the City ordered additional containers for households missing them, which should arrive by March 15.

“We’ve just scratched the surface,” he said. “The program can only get more successful as time passes.”

Kee Eng, administrative services manager for the Public Works Department, said that the department only received a couple hundred complaints from residents, which doesn’t qualify has a major problem since there are more than 30,000 customers involved.

The Public Works Department has

high-hopes for RecycleBank’s success in Hollywood, which is the second city in Florida and the first in Broward County to sign on to the RecycleBank program.

“It’s a win-win-win situation for residents, businesses and the City,” said Eng.

Turek also said that the City has encouraged residents to recycle for years, but now they have a better incentive.

“I would encourage every household to get onboard,” he said. “It’s obviously a bonus to cities that they can achieve cost-avoidance by giving residents rewards for doing what many have already been doing.”
