The grand opening for Coral Ridge Park is scheduled for Saturday, May 21 at 3 p.m. The Mayor and CommissionerRoberts are expected to attend.

May 2011

Greetings Neighbors:Our new Coral Ridge Park is

complete and I think that it is the jewelof the neighborhood. Heidi DavisKnapik and George Glasser havebeen working very closely with thecity parks director to ensure theperfection of the park design. Therewill be a dedication ceremony in thepark on May 21 at 3:00 PM. MayorJack Seiler and District 1Commissioner Bruce Roberts will bethere. Everyone is welcome.

On the Saturday before Easter wehad our annual Easter Egg Hunt inHarriet and Jack Kaye Park and it wasa beautiful day with many families inattendance. (See page 22 for pictures)Inge Grossmann and her daughterMonica stuffed 1000 eggs for theevent. When I arrived at the park inthe morning to help prepare for theevent, Monica and her husband Seanhad taken care of all the preparations.

Brian Leary is in charge ofRecycling for our neighborhood. Overthe past year of attending recyclingmeetings and doing the required work,Brian earned $495 for the associationfrom the city. Thank you, Brian.

We will be getting a new McDonaldson North Federal Highway. Theexisting McDonalds will bedemolished and a new building built.The plan is to have the newMcDonalds open in October 2011. Wehave been in contact with theMcDonalds people and the City of Ft.Lauderdale Planning and ZoningBoard to review the plans. Includedwill be beautiful new landscaping.

It is very important that everyone bemade aware of our association’srelationship with the City of Ft.Lauderdale. The association is theliaison to the city for ourneighborhood. I believe that this isone of our most important functions.Over the past several months in thediscussions with the McDonalds staffthere have been several questions thatthe Planning and Zoning Board had

about this project. During the courseof several meetings and many e-mails,the Planning and Zoning Board askedfor our input. In fact the board votedto approve the McDonalds plans onlywith the approval of our associationboard.

Our association’s relationship withseveral departments and boards in thecity has been one of goodcommunication and respect. The cityis aware that we are an active groupand very protective of ourneighborhood.

George Glasser and Steve Tilbrookare in the process of getting estimatesfor new landscaping and solar lightingfor our entryways. They want to beginwith the 2 entryways at Middle RiverDrive and NE 26th Street. These seemto be the ones that need the mostimmediate improvement.

One of our board members, SteveGillespie, has been monitoring theprogress of the Short Term RentalCommittee appointed by the city.There does not seem tobe a resolution for thisissue yet. ResidentsJeremy and LindaSchwartz live on oneof the neighborhoodstreets that has severalresidences involved inthe short term rentalproblem. They havecontacted our codedepartment which isworking on theproblem.

Please call the codedepartment 954-828-5207 or me 954-564-4784 if you think thatthere is a codeviolation in theneighborhood. Codeneeds a street number/name and a housenumber. Over a periodfrom December 2010through March 2011the code departmentcited 132 code

violations in our neighborhood.We are finally about to begin the

design stage of new signage forBayview Drive. Christine Fingado,Valerie Taylor, and I will meet theNeighborhood Capital Improvementstaff at City Hall on May 11. Maybewe can see the finished project by theend of this year. We will be sure topresent the recommendations to theassociation.

I hope to see many neighbors at theCoral Ridge Park dedicationceremony on Saturday, May 21 at3:00 PM.

Please feel free to contact me athome – 954 – 564-4784 or by [email protected].

Sincerely,Betsy Dow, President

More is not better.Never use more thanone flea product onyour pet withoutyour veterinarian’sapproval. Using ashampoo or dipalong with a topicalor oral flea productcan cause your petto take in too muchof the active ingredients in theseproducts, leading to a bad reaction oreven poisoning.

Fleas can bite up to 400 times aday! Fleas can jump ...

1. a distance that measures150 times their own size.

2. 30,000 times in a row with-out stopping.

3. in opposite direction (leftand right) with every jump. A female flea consumes 15 timesher own body weight in blood everyday. A female flea can lay 2,000 eggs. Just one flea can multiply to1,000 fleas on your pet and in yourhome in 21 days. Flea fossils date all the way backto the Lower Cretaceous period… about 100 million years! On average, a flea lives 2-3months. Adult fleas spend most of theirlives feasting on your pet.

period, U.S. treasuries were deemedto be the safest possible investmentand many business schools utilizedgovernment debt as a proxy for a“risk free” asset. While a downgradeappears unlikely to occur, such anaction by Standard & Poors couldcause investors to seek a safe havenelsewhere for their conservativeinvestments. This would likely causea drop in Treasury bond prices and acorresponding rise in yields (interestrates).

What effect would a ratings down-grade have on most individuals? Whenan asset is deemed to possess higherrisk, investors demand to be compen-sated for this belief through higherinterest rates. If treasury yields wereto increase, the cost of a mortgagefor the average American would alsoincrease. An increase in mortgagerates could possibly decrease thenumber of potentialhome buyers and alsoreduce the disposableincome for those whoobtain new mortgagesat higher rates. Inaddition to mortgagerates, a rise in interestrates would likelyresult in a corre-sponding increase in

What does the recent warning onU.S. debt by the Standard & Poorscredit agency and an outlook changefrom “stable” to “negative” mean toinvestors? Besides causing a spike inoil prices as well as an increase in theprice of gold and silver, the recentannouncement by S&P was merely awarning to the U.S. government. Not-withstanding the warning, Standard& Poors affirmed the U.S. creditrating at the highest level possible(AAA) and just used the recentoutlook change as a “shot across thebow” for legislators. The announce-ment does add further fuel to the fireof the need for the U.S. governmentto take swift action to address itsdebt and budget issues. The actionsthat would prevent a downgradeinclude austerity measures similar tothose undertaken at several Europeancountries (Spain, Ireland, Greece,etc.). While austerity measures inEurope led to protests and riots,similar actions could possibly occurin the U.S. if dramatic cuts to socialservices were to occur over the nextfew years (See: Wisconsin protests).

What is the historical significanceof a potential downgrade? This isthe first time in 70 years thatStandard & Poors has lowered itsoutlook on U.S. debt. During this

borrowing costs for many individualsand companies. While rising ratescould be disadvantageous to homebuyers and businesses, an increasewould benefit fixed income investorswho are seeking higher yields thanthose currently available. Actions bythe federal government over the next6-12 months will determine whetheror not Standard & Poors will down-grade U.S. debt. We are cautiouslyoptimistic that the government willmake some tough decisions andimplement some austerity measuresover this time period to prevent adowngrade for materializing.

re-injury in the future.Once the evaluation is complete

the therapist develops a plan ofcare for the patient. The typicalplan of care may include specificexercises and “hands on” therapysuch as manual therapy, jointmobilization or assisted stretch-ing. In addition, the therapist mayuse modalities such as electricstimulation, ultrasound or coldlaser to help speed healing. Finally,there is education, which is a veryimportant component of physicaltherapy. When discharged fromtherapy, the patient will have thetools and knowledge to avoidfuture injury. For some this mayinclude instruction on simplehome exercises,for others it couldbe advice onproper posturewhile driving orworking at acomputer, or therecommendationof a firmer mat-tress for sleep.

Not just for theInjured anymore!

Patients referredto physical therapyby their doctoroften share withus that theyrea lly don’tknow whatphysical therapyis or what aphysical thera-

pist does. On the other end of the

spectrum are those who havegotten such tremendous benefitsfrom treatment by a physicaltherapist that they we are the firstperson they call when they havean injury.

Most Physical Therapists todayhave a doctorate in physicaltherapy. They are highly trainedin the evaluation and treatment ofinjuries and can identify each andevery muscle, joint and tendon inthe human body. More importantly,physical therapists understandhow these “parts” work togetherand interact. A physical therapisttreats the whole person. Whenevaluating a new patient, thetherapist doesn’t just examine theinjured area, they also look forimbalances in strength or flexibility,and obtain clues from apatients posture, gait, their usualsleeping position and daily activi-ties. In this way the therapist notonly treats the injury by relievingpain and restoring function, theyalso help the patient to avoid

weaknesses or imbalances andprescribe exercises to help themavoid injuries and perform at thetop of their game.

Daddy, and I learned the little thingsin life make a big difference.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you make a meal

and bring it to Mrs. Henderson whenshe was sick, and I

learned that we all have to help takecare of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you donate your

time and money to the homelesscenter, and I learned those

who have something have to givesomething to those who do not.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you cook dinner and

do the laundry even when you didn'tfeel well, and I learned it

is important to be responsible -evenwhen it is not easy.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you take care of the

kitchen and house, and I learned wehave to take care of what we have.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you blink out tears

when Simon died, and I learned that

and I learned I need to beresponsible too.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw that you really were

interested and cared about mygrades, and I learned that you

cared, so I'll be everything I can be.When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you cry when your dad died, andI learned that life can be difficult, but

it is okay to express your feelings.When you thought I wasn't looking, I

learned most of life's lessons that Ineed to know to be a good and

I saw you buy cat food for fourhomeless kittens that were in

need of food, and I learned that weall have to help take care of

each other.When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you give our old clothes away tohelp people who had nothing, and I

learned that those who havesomething should give to those

who don't.When you thought I wasn't looking, I

saw you tuck me in atnight, and I learned that the little

things can be the specialthings in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you take care of our

animals and everyone inside ourhouse, and I learned we have

to take care what we are given.When you thought I wasn't looking, I

saw you how youbrought me to softball practice, even

when you didn't feel good, and Ilearned that I need to be

responsible too.When you thought I wasn't looking, Isaw you cry, and I learned that some-

times things hurt, and it is okay to

(Bayview Continued from page 8) sometimes things hurt,and it is okay to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking, Ilearned some of life's

lessons like to share with Mr. Steveand be kind to others means a lot.

When you thought I wasn't looking,you helped me be

appreciative when I saw the kids'birthday party at the

homeless center. I realized howmuch I have and how little they have.When you thought I wasn't looking, I

learned most of life'slessons that I need to know to be a

When you thought I wasn't looking, Ilooked at you and wanted to say,"Thanks for all the things I saw

tion will reveal Matamoros' etherealsound composition to be in closeharmony with the Museum building’sresonant acoustics, causing one towonder whether the structure isinstrument or sanctuary.

Wendy Wischer creates layers ofthe real and the reflected to referencethe interconnections of the naturalworld and the power of light tohighlight and to obscure. KyleTrowbridge, on the other hand, seeshis installation as an opportunity tooffer a phrase for contemplation. Anyattempt to draw a conclusion is aneffort that is left solely to the viewer.

Juan Maristany, who makes fruitfulforays between the VJ world and thegallery, takes his penchant for editingjarringly surreal digital artifacts tocreate a vibrant video composition thatis projected - in this case - onto a mul-tifaceted wall structure. His attemptsat communication straddle the linebetween inferences that are pragmatic,and at times political, to jubilant ges-tural bursts of geometry and color. Theidea of artifact is approached differ-ently in the hanging sculptures byGavin Perry that are at once colorfuland beautiful but at the same time,menacing as you view their sharpsurfaces and ominous shadows frombelow.

Sight Specific: Explorations inSpace, Vision and Sound

Exhibition remains on view throughSeptember 4, 2011

Eleven South Florida artists wereinvited by Freddy Jouwayed, theMuseum of Art’s Chief ExhibitionDesigner, to create installations withinthe confines of specified areas of thesecond floor galleries. Many of theworks in Sight Specific were createdon the spot and others were adaptedfrom previous installations andexpanded upon. All are fresh reactionsto the Museum’s wonderful EdwardLarrabee Barnes-designed moderniststructure, itself a sculptural achieve-ment, and to the very public forum itand our visitors provide. Unusual for aspecial exhibition, we are encouragingour visitors to respond to these instal-lations by photographing them,commenting on Facebook and Twitter,and accessing the artists’ individualwebsites to learn more about theirworking methods. We encouragethose who view them to speak theirmind; free to like or dislike, encourageor condemn. In responding, they areexpanding the forum by continuing theconversation about the arts in ourcommunity and within our largersociety.

For Sight Specific, we abandoned ournormal operating procedures in favorof immediacy and the attempt to arriveat something new. True to its title; theexhibition’s nine installations focus onvarious stimuli, including sounds,spaces and views. The followinginformation indentifies the artists andtheir individual projects.

The ArtistsThe artists engaged in Sight Specific

come from various disciplines and de-liver distinctly differing results.Clifton Childree deals with the theat-rical as he confronts visitors with com-poser and pianist Alexander Scriabin'sliving room, a space that acts as the set

ered during the pair's daily wonder-ings, and constructs them into aninventive dialogue. Process itself isthe intention; the outcome is merely arecord of decisions made during it. Instark contrast is the elegant installationcreated by husband-and-wife teamRoberto Behar and RosarioMarquardt, whose formal space ismade more inviting with the additionof vivid colors and cushioned seating(which is meant to be used). Thespace's darkly comical counterpointsinclude a "poetical" map of the worldand a record player that you areencouraged to treat like a jukebox.

Finally, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova offers materials that areordinary and ubiquitous, yet the frag-mented and unfinished remnants ques-tion the permanence of our existenceand our powers of perception. Perhapswhat we think of as barriers may notstop us; the things that ground us maybe fleeting. A door may be an exit orperhaps it's only a piece of wood.

These are thoughts that visitors arewelcomed to borrow. The exhibition'saim is to encourage viewers to thinkand respond. If they feel so moved,they are encouraged to leave theirthoughts behind in the exhibition'sguestbook before they cross back tothe world outside.

Sight Specific: Explorations inSpace, Vision and Sound remains onview at the Museum of Art I FortLauderdale, Nova SoutheasternUniversity until Sunday, September 4,2011. The Museum of Art is locatedin downtown Fort Lauderdale at thecorner of Las Olas Boulevard andAndrews Avenue. Additional informa-tion can be found on our website atwww.moafl.org.

Bill Huegele, Class of 1954 andlongtime varsity basketball coach,welcomes the "newbies" to the event;this year the members of the Class of1961 were the youngest folks in theroom. Needless to say, that doesn'thappen very often for people whofinished high school fifty years ago.

In 1995, under the leadership ofHugh Harris, Class of 1945, andJeanie Harris, Class of 1948, HalfCentury alums decided to expand theprogram to create a scholarship fundto assist FLHS students in continuingtheir education. Since then, the HalfCentury group has provided close to$150,000 in college and trade schoolscholarships. In recent years, thegroup has been under the able leader-ship of Barbara Graveson, Class of1951. This year, Half Century treas-urer, Bruce Remsburg, Class of1951, presented Dr. Marie Wright,principal of Fort Lauderdale High,with a check for $19,000 that willprovide scholarships for a number ofdeserving students at Awards Night.

By Jim Geiger

On April 16th, Fort LauderdaleHigh School Alumni celebrated thepast and the future with their annualHalf Century Luncheon at SouthFlorida's historic Tropical AcresRestaurant. The event is a thirty yeartradition that began in the late 1970'swhen a few "Flying L's" began hav-ing lunch together and rehashing oldtimes. They had so much fun theydecided to invite other "half-century"graduates to join them in an annualcelebration of growing up in FortLauderdale. Those earlier luncheonshave now evolved into a social eventeach spring when Fort LauderdaleHigh's half century alums gather tocelebrate friendship and community.People from around the country havecommented that they have neverheard of half century alumni continu-ing to support their old high schoolin this way, so apparently FortLauderdale has developed a programthat is truly unique.
