Lauderdale-By-The-Sea - Staghorn
coral restoration is achieving an 80
percent survival rate at sites off the
coast of LBTS.
Steve d’Oliveira, the town’s public
information officer, said the staghorn
corals helped create South Florida’s
reefs for over 5,000 years and currently
is at only three percent of its historic
abundance.
Last year diving teams from Nova’s

corals at four sites off of the town. The

Constitution Park. The project was envisioned by the Friends of the Arboretum and funded with a
$140,000 grant from Broward County. Charlie DaBrusco, project manager for the city, said design
and construction of the waterfall had to evolve in the field because of it natural fluidity. The waterfall
is phase 1 of the rainforest and should be complete for Arboretum visitors to enjoy by June. Phase
2 of rainforest construction includes installing sidewalks, plants, a deck and a tower. The Friends of

Embry-Riddle offering aviation
courses to high school students;
Blanche Ely one of the first to enroll
By Judy Vik
Pelican staff
Pompano Beach – Students at
Broward County public high schools
will be able to enroll in college level
aviation aerospace courses starting in
the 2016-17 school year.
The new program, planned with an
affiliate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University, is largely due to the efforts
of Dahlia Baker, program director
for the Pompano Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency [CRA].
One of the state’s targeted
industries is aviation, Baker said in
an interview with The Pelican. In her
role, she works with area employers
to determine future talent demands
and “to create talent pipelines that
bridge gaps to employment in this
community.”
Baker visited the Pompano Beach
Air Park and talked with owners and
tenants, as well as with the airport
manager. Through that process she
connected with Greg Spatz, managing
partner of Pompano Aviation. Spatz
introduced her to Colleen Walsh of
Gaetz Aerospace Institute, an affiliate
of Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach.
And Baker met with Dr. Karlton
Johnson, Ely High School principal.
They contacted The Broward
County School District, and the
process culminated in a plan to offer

Settlement brings in $200,000 and the promise that five-year
renovation will be done this year in Lighthouse Point
By Judy Wilson
Pelican staff
Lighthouse Point – The
city will accept a $200,000
payment to settle building
code violations on a
waterfront property at 3750
NE 31 Ave. The agreement
settles a lawsuit with the
estate and heirs of GB and
Ruth Heidmann. The liens
had accrued over five years on
the Heidmanns’ former home
as it was vacant and being
remodeled.
Commissioners voted for
the settlement at a special
meeting April 12.
According to the
settlement agreement,
the manager of the estate,
the Heidmanns’ daughter
Jacqueline Criswell,
must “diligently pursue”
completion of the construction
by Oct. 27 of this year.
Involved is the main house
and a cabana.
The liens placed on
the property for building
violations that included an
unsafe structure, unsecured
construction site, debris and
trash, date back to 2010. Ruth
Heidmann died in 2011 and
the fines kept escalating.
According to Mayor Glenn
Troast who inherited the
situation when he took office,
the Intracoastal Waterway
property came in and out of
compliance several times. At
one point, liens amounted to
$334,000.
“Our primary goal is to
get this finished in October,”
the mayor said this week.
“Significant progress is now
being made on the home.”
A clause in the settlement
agreement allows the city to
assess for the full amount of
outstanding liens estimated
to be $280,000 to $300,000 if
the home is not completed on
time.
Troast said he was
continually receiving
complaints about the
incomplete structure. “As
soon as we would hear
about one, we would try to
mitigate,” he said. “I am
extremely happy with the
date certain [for completion]
and we will be conducting
inspections in a timely

Bud Garner leaves this community a wealth of history
By Anne Siren
Pelican staff
In Pompano Beach, there
is a story about “The Night the
‘Boogerman’ Lost His Gun.”
Remember?
O.T. Banks was a close
neighbor of mine when I
was growing up . . . He was
called, but not to his face,
Boogerman. . . .
OK, how about “The Day
the Ashley Gang Robbed the
Pompano Bank”?
The Ashley Gang began
their reign of lawlessness
sometime around 1911 when
Don Downey and Bud Garner at the 100th birthday party of Pompano Beach.
the work on the building of the
Florida East Coast Railroad
ended. . . .
These are words from
the late Bud Garner, a born
storyteller, a pioneer of
Pompano and a beloved man
of this city. His historic tales
have been published in Tales
of Old Pompano and Old
Pompano As I Remember.
When Pompano Beach
celebrated its centennial in
2008, Mr. Garner and his
friend and fellow historian,
Don Downie, dressed in
tuxedos to greet the guests at
the Emma Lou Olson Civic
Center for the 100th birthday
of the city. They seemed to
take this milestone event as
their own, and those of us who
attended the event shared the
same feeling. For years we
The Pelican 3
heard and read their stories.
Now with the loss of our
friend Mr. Bud Garner, even as
we grieve, we remain grateful
for the stories that Mr. Garner
has left for us to retell about
this city that otherwise would
have been lost forever.
Mr. Garner died on April
23. Services were held at First
Baptist Church of Pompano.

Nuisance abatement board created
to reduce criminal activities
Friday, May 6, 2016
Fort Lauderdale
A luncheon champagne toast
Commissioners approved the creation of a nuisance abatement board that would hear
complaints and evidence of nuisances taking place on local properties.
Tracy Lyons, assistant city attorney, said the city is actively seeking members for this board.
She explains the board can require the owner of the property to come before them if two or more
arrests have taken place at the same address within a six-month period. Nuisances include drugrelated activities; prostitution, street gang, stolen property or pain management nuisances.
The board of six members will hear complaints and evidence regarding the property. The
board will also have the power to require the owner to address the problems within a time line.
Broward Sheriff Office deputies will bring cases before the board and present evidence.
The board has full authority to levy fines: $250 per day or $500 per day for a recurring
nuisance. The board can also move forward with foreclosure actions if the advice of the board is
not carried out. Nuisance abatement board members will be appointed by the city commission.

The Sample-McDougald House turns 100

Henderson Sample; three sons,
Lee M., Hugh H., and Albert,
Jr., all of Pompano; as well as

Sarah Sellers McDougald
and William D. McDougald,
Sr. had been living with their
children in a two-bedroom
home in Deerfield when they
learned of the availability of the
Special to the Pelican
The Sample-McDougald
House, located at 450 NE 10th
Street in Pompano Beach, is
celebrating its centennial this
year. The house was built
in 1916, and it is today one
of a handful of structures in
Broward County that are 100
years old or older.
The Sample family arrived
in South Florida soon after the
turn of the century. John M.
Sample, the first to settle in the
Pompano area, had purchased
farming land from the Florida
East Coast Railway prior to
1910.
Albert Neal Sample, a
onetime architect, followed
his younger brother John to
the north Broward County
area in 1911 from Chester,
South Carolina. He was born
in Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina on April 16, 1866,
the oldest of six children. Neal,
the name he was known by,
purchased his brother’s land
on June 11, 1915, and began
constructing his new house
soon thereafter.
Sample built a spacious
house located on high
elevation, over 22 feet above
sea level, alongside the Dixie
Highway and the Florida East
Coast Railway, the area’s two
major means of transportation.
Also known as the Old Sample
Estate and Pine Haven, the
house is a 17-room Georgian
Colonial structure constructed
by Sample supposedly as a
replica of a home he previously
owned in South Carolina. It
is unquestionably one of the
most architecturally significant
historic homes in the county,
and one of the earliest to
display a formal architectural
style.
The home served as the
base for Sample’s farming
operations that stretched from
today’s Lighthouse Point
out west past what is now
Powerline Road. At first,
Sample grew pineapples, a
popular crop for earlier settlers
to the area, but it soon became
apparent that winter vegetables,
such as string beans, bell
peppers, eggplant and squash,
among other crops, were more
profitable. Sample constructed
a road in 1917 to reach his
cropland (like most local
farmers, Sample’s agricultural
fields were not contiguous).
Today that thoroughfare still
bears his name: Sample Road,
On December 27, 1940,
Albert Neal Sample and
his wife Maggie deeded the
property to their daughter Lois
S. Barksdale of Greenville,
South Carolina. Sample died
less than five months later, on
April 4, 1941; he was 74 years
old and well respected among
Broward County’s business
and political leaders. He was
survived by his widow, Maggie
Sample residence from a friend.
Although they purchased the
home on August 14, 1943,
Mrs. McDougald who was then
acting postmistress of Deerfield
could not get a release from her
job due to a manpower shortage

The only way Pompano Beach can
get its solid waste act together is
simply to work together
By Anne Siren
publisher
The early March change in the garbage/bulk/recycling collection was by
all counts a flop. No one disputes it. Many city meetings for weeks have ended
with complaints focused on the disastrous roll out of the newest city contract
with Waste Management.
Russell Ketchem, solid waste manager, agrees that the ushering in of the new
and more efficient plans did not meet the standards the public or the city had
expected. Within the next few weeks, residents will receive the department’s
newest brochure to help clarify and correct issues with bulk collection.
Waste Management “underestimated” the magnitude of the work and of the
numerous changes that all took place at the same time, Ketchem said.
Within two weeks, the following events took place in March. Bulk pickup
was reduced to once a week instead of twice a week. Residents continued
placing bulk on their yards: carpet rolls, mattresses, appliances, tree trimmings
and more. They did it on the wrong days, and that was due to a second change:
pickup dates were also changed. The third change was that bulk pickup, for
the first time in 20 years, was not only limited to once a week, but it was also
limited to a cubic measurement of four yards per week.
And that limited amount hit many residents in the pocketbook, literally.
Ketchem explains that there are a small number of residents who “rent” their
yards to lawn, carpet, appliance and other businesses, in exchange for allowing
them to dump their bulk waste rather than delivering that waste to a transfer
station for which they would have to pay a fee. Such illegal dumping is a felony.

DBHS students making
contributions to local history
To the Editor and Jon Marlow, principal, Deerfield Beach High School
I can’t tell you how happy and satisfied we are at the Deerfield Beach
Historical Society because of working with the three groups of students and
their teachers from your school.
Patricia Englehart and her students did such a great and creative job on
the stenciling in the Alice B. gift shop and the heartfelt saying around the
perimeter of the ceiling. It is wonderful to see such a dedicated teacher and how
beautifully the students respect her and react so well to her. The latest project
is just as exciting for us. The students are painting the parking lot bumpers and
honoring famous artists in the process. Even better is that they are educating the
public in naming each artist on the reverse side of the bumper. We look forward
to an ongoing relationship with these exceptional students and teacher.
Ashley Santy and her students in the Jr. Historical Society have been a great
help to us. They have been available to help us out with events and tours at the
Butler House and have given us extra publicity by holding car washes at the
Butler House which draws great attention to the House as well as the tours we
offer. It is heartwarming to see such a responsive and respectful relationship
between Ms. Santy and her students.
The historical video interviews that have taken place with the
Communications and Broadcast Arts students and Alfred Southard couldn’t be
going better. We are so impressed with the professional demeanor of the kids
and I think they have enjoyed the project as well. You can tell that the kids and
Mr. Southard love what they are doing as well as love working with each other.
We are so grateful to have this opportunity to work with these dynamic
young people and your fabulous staff members. We look forward to many more
collaborative projects in the future.
With sincere thanks,
Judi Stanich
Historical Society
Board Member
Continued from this page. . .
Over the years, thirty arrests have taken place in the city for illegal dumping,
according to Ketchem. Restricting the amount of bulk helps eliminate illegal
dumping by restricting the volume. Pompano Beach has had the most liberal
bulk pickup for 20 years, a policy that made this city vulnerable to illegal
dumping. That should bring applause from many residents who have lived near
these homes, who now will have a cleaner street to enjoy.
Another change came with the size of the carts, 32-gallon cans have been
replaced with 95-gallon carts for household waste and a 65-gallon cart for
recyclable materials. And they are color-coded. Grey is for household waste.
Blue is for recycling. Since few homes can generate 95 gallons of waste twice
per week, the remaining space in the grey cart can be used for yard waste and
other bulky items that fit into the cart.
While some residents have complained about the size of the new containers,
they are a benefit to Waste Management employees, some of whom prior to
this contract had injured their backs in attempts to manually pick up larger
containers purchased by residents.
The new bins are picked up by automated trucks.
In the larger picture, all of us need to accept the burden of change. Buying
into a program that produces a cleaner, more beautiful city is worthwhile.
Eliminating criminal acts of illegal dumping is good for everyone. Boosting the
amount of material that can be recycled rather than buried in a landfill is a moral
consideration that each of us owes to future generations.
Let’s all pitch in—by not only placing materials in the right carts, on the
right days, but also by keeping with the right size of four cubic yards for bulk
[about the size of three household refrigerators stacked one on top of the other].
For more information or service concerns, please contact Waste Management at
954-974-7500.

Danny Samsenak is
the owner of Gold Coast
Unlimited Inc., a mobile
cleaning business that
services both residential and
commercial clients. Danny
says, “We clean carpets,
upholstery, drapery, auto and
boat interiors, tile and grout,
windows, gutters, and do stain
removal.”
In business since 2008, his
truck is his mobile office filled
with all of the equipment and
supplies he needs including
a tile and grout machine,
carpet cleaning machine,
attachments for upholstery
and all of the special products
needed to accomplish
the many necessary tasks
requested by clients.
Danny reminds customers
that carpet cleaning can
help prevent mold growth
especially in areas with high
humidity levels like South
Florida. Dirty carpets are
at a high risk of developing
mold growth when exposed
to moisture. In precipitous
weather, moisture frequently
gets tracked into the home
and can sink deep in the
carpet fibers if not dried and
vacuumed immediately.
Having carpets cleaned
regularly can prevent mold
and mildew growth.
Professional carpet
cleaners have high-powered
drying tools that annihilate
moisture and prevent mold
growth that can be harmful if
ignored for too long.
Justin Dimaio says,
“Danny shows up on time
and ready to work. He’s
done a great job on cleaning
three rooms of carpeting as
well as the tile and grout in
my home. I’ve had him back
because he’s good. I have
recommended him to friends
and neighbors.”
Wayne Laglia agrees
saying, “ I’ve used Danny
for several years in the health
club I manage. He’s done
a great job cleaning the tile
and the carpets. We’re very
happy with him. He can clean
anything. I’ve suggested him
to friends who have been so
pleased they have called to
thank me.”

The Pelican 9
Business to Business Expo gives owners face to face social networking
By Michael d’Oliveira
Pelican writer
Pompano Beach – Long
before Facebook and Twitter,
there was another social
network here: the Business to
Business Expo.
First organized by the
Greater Pompano Beach
Chamber of Commerce about
25 years ago, the Business to
Business Expo is “a great way
for businesses to network,”
said Ric Green, president and
CEO of the Chamber. This
year’s event will be held on
Tuesday, June 14 from 5 to 8
p.m. at the Elks Club, 700 NE
10 St.
Ronnie Staton, Chamber
board member and account
manager with Frank H.
Furman Insurance in
Pompano Beach, said the
insurance company has
exhibited since the first Expo.
“We’ve always participated.
It does bring in some business
for us. It’s a double purpose.
It puts your business out there
for everyone to see but it
also lets you walk around the
floor and meet other business
owners.”
For Chamber members
such as Frank H. Furman,
the cost for an expo table is
$100 before June 6 and $125
after that date. Non-members
must pay $200 but joining
the Chamber before the event
entitles new members to a
free table. The cost for most
businesses is $350 per year
to join. Each participating
business must also provide a
door prize of at least $50 in
value. The event is free for the
public.
“It’s going to cost you
$200 [to get a table]. For
an extra $150, you’re a
member. It’s the only time
we ever do any type of trade
for a membership, the only
time we give a membership
away,” said Lisa Spinelli,
special events director for the
Chamber. She expects about
the same number of vendors
as last year – 85.
John Saluk, owner of
American Credit Processing
in Pompano Beach and an
ambassador for the Chamber,
said he’s purchased a table
the last eight or nine years.
We do one every year. We’ve
always participated.” Saluk
added that it’s worth the cost.
“Absolutely. It’s very well
attended. It’s fun. There’s
food, there’s drinks, there’s
raffle prizes. It’s a good event
all around. I wouldn’t say
I get a lot of business but
there’s definitely business to
be had.” It’s also a good event
for “making contacts and
reinforcing relationships.”

The Young Artists are
not kids. They are extremely
well qualified young men and
women with magnificently
trained voices who are
lucky to be part of a highly
regarded education program
for professionals underwritten
by the Florida Grand Opera
[FGO] company.
During their stay in the
program the Young Artists
make occasional public
appearances. When they do
they become ambassadors for
opera, the art form of telling
stories through glorious
music. Thanks to the generous
support of two John Knox
Village [JKV] residents,
Diva Dr. Harriet Mertz and
Impresario, Sam Townsend,
this much heralded group
performed for the Village on
April 23, 2016.
A packed auditorium
The stars take their bows. Sarah Payne, Eliza Bonet, Mario Arevalo, Laura Martinez Leon and Nicholas Ward.
of new and old opera
enthusiasts welcomed Justin
Moss, director of Broward
Operations and Outreach, and
the six performing artists,
Nicholas Ward, Alex Soare,
Sarah Payne, Laura Martinez
Leon, Eliza Bonet and Mario
Arevalo with pianist Maria
Paulina Garcia.
The Program
Justin Moss, an opera icon
himself, explains the back
story for each aria sung by the
Young Artists. The audience
listened raptly to selections
from The Barber of Seville,
Tosca, Carmen, Song, The
Marriage of Figaro, Cosi fan
tuttte, The Elixir of Love,
Carousel, My Fair Lady and
The Tender Land. Opera buffs
were thrilled with the voices
that seduced even those who
have never attended an opera.
Many plan to do so in the
2016-17 season. A meet and
greet with light refreshments
followed the concert giving
JKV residents a chance to
chat with the talented young
men and women.

to J.E. and Dausia Garner.
In order for his father to take
a job with the Florida East
Coast Railroad, they moved
to Pompano when Bud was
nine months old. He lived
in Pompano his whole life,
except for the time he spent in
the U.S. Navy.
He and his wife Doris are
pioneers of Broward County
and Bud is the Historian of
the City of Pompano Beach.
He has been active in the
Historical Society of Pompano
Beach and The Hillsboro
Lighthouse Preservation
Society. In his retirement,
he became a prolific writer,
telling stories of growing up in
Pompano and documenting the
history of the area in his own
words and through his own
eyes. Those stories have been
published in several books
The Pelican 11
over the years. Bud joined the
Navy at the age of 16 in 1943.
He served both in the Atlantic
and the Pacific, spending time
on the USS Niblack. He was
very proud to have served his
country in WWII. He returned
home in 1945 where he went
back to Pompano High School
and graduated in 1948.
He married his high school
sweetheart, Doris Evelyn
Corbett on May 22, 1949.
Bud is survived by his wife,
Doris, his brother Jim Garner
and his two sisters Rose
Chambers and Alice Mainguy.
He and Doris have four
children, eight grandchildren
and 11 great grandchildren.
Children: Kathy Barker
(Charles) , Karen Kutschinski
(Deceased),Russ Garner
(Dorienne), Ken Garner
(Lynn);Grandchildren and
Great Grandchildren: Jeffrey
Barker (Tawnda): parents of

Gonzalez (Eddie): parents of
Zoey, Aegean Garner, Alex
Garner, Heaven-Leigh Paige
Garner: Mother of Leilani
Tinerello, Nathan Lindsay, and
Ryan Garner.
Beautiful family,
amazing legacy
He was a wonderful
husband, father, grandpa
and great grandpa. He will
be sorely missed by all of
his family. In the words of
one of his grandchildren he
was a great role model, we
have all been blessed. Bud
was an active member of his
church, First Baptist Church
of Pompano Beach. He and
Doris were married in that
church. They became founding
members of the church, North
Pompano Baptist Church,
where he served as a deacon
for many years. They later
returned to First Baptist where
they currently worship. Bud
passed away suddenly on April
21, 2016 after a brief illness.
His family has requested that
all memorials be sent to The
Ministries of First Baptist
Church of Pompano Beach
or The Hillsboro Lighthouse
Preservation Society.

Cameras

15,000 hits on the pier cam
by press time this week and
city has been overwhelmed by
emails and phone calls from
viewers.
“Residents say they are
addicted to the best, free,
live, fish tank ever,” Medina
Stewart said. “And surfers love
it because they can check out
the waves.”
In cooperation with the
Broward County Visitor’s
and Convention Bureau and
environmental group View
Into the Blue, an underwater
cam was affixed to the east
end of the pier in about 20 feet
of water. There it captures the
“catch of the day” as fish –
schools of them big and small
– swim by in turquoise waters.
Two other cameras, above
the water, send back photos of
the ocean looking east and the
beachfront looking west.

Lessons in civility on
Deerfield agenda
Deerfield Beach Displeased with the lack of
order at city commission
meetings, Commissioner Bill
Ganz is looking for ways to
insure more decorum.
Tuesday, he suggested a
parliamentarian be present
at the meetings to enforce
Robert’s Rules of Order.
What he got was
acknowledgment that
commissioners need a brushup course on how to conduct
their meetings.
Commissioners did agree
order needs to be restored in
the commission room. Ganz
has been critical of Mayor
Jean Robb’s lack of enforcing
the rules governing public
discourse. The city’s ordinance
gives guidelines for persons
addressing the commission: no
comments related to personal
qualities of any person,
no language which would
offend persons of ordinary
sensibilities, all remarks
addressed to the commission
as a body and limited to the
subject matter before the
commission.
These rules are often
disregarded by both speakers
and commission members.
“All I am asking for is order,”
Ganz said. “It is the mayor’s
job to make sure the meeting is
run properly.”
Robb assured Ganz she
knew Robert’s Rules and in
fact had once taught it to her
English classes. “You want a
parliamentarian to tell us how
to run our meetings?” Robb
asked.
Commissioner Joe Miller
termed “the last few meetings
emotional” and said “I do
favor restoring dignity to our
meetings. We need to look
more sophisticated. I would
like a refresher course, a
review of how we should
operate.”
Vice Mayor Richard
Rosenzweig said meetings are
“raucous and out of control”
and suggested the addition of
a sergeant-at-arms, “someone
who can take control.”
Commissioner Gloria
Battle agreed saying when
she came into the meeting she
was in a good mood, but after
being attacked by an audience
member, her demeanor had
drastically changed.
City Manager Burgess
Hanson said he would
schedule a Robert’s Rules of
Order refresher course within
30 days.
Technology park to add
daycare and hotel
Deerfield Beach – One of
the country’s largest child-care
franchisers will lease 87,000
Friday, May 6, 2016
square feet in the Hillsboro
Technology Center now going
up on Hillsboro Boulevard and
I-95.
The Learning Experience
will lease the building on
five acres of the center. On
Tuesday commissioners
approved a 10,000 square foot
day care center to be included
and that will serve both tenants
of the center and the public.
The center’s builder,
Butters Construction, also
received permission to sell 74
acres of its site to the Marriott
Corporation for a Fairfield
Hotel. Representatives of
Butters said Marriott will make
a $15 million investment in
a 101-room hotel to attract
“higher end business” clients.
Funeral home site will
become treatment center
Commissioners approved
the conversion of a former
funeral home to an addiction
treatment center operated
by Blue Sky Boston. The
company operates two such
facilities nearby and has
purchased the building at 1450
S. Federal Highway to expand
operation.
Clients will be transported
to the facility by van, and there
will be no overnight stays.
Commissioners were
concerned about lack of
parking on the site and
wanted upgrades to the
building. Parking is not an
issue for this type of business
attorney Dennis Mele said.
Commissioners Gloria Battle
and Bill Ganz voted against the
needed parking variance with
Battle saying, “I am totally
opposed to another substance
abuse center on U.S. 1.”

Sober homes
Continued from page 1
on a drive by of “at least”
100 sober homes where
operators were not, in their
opinions, protecting their
clients – people in the last
stages of addiction recovery.”They were visibly
shocked,” Frankel said of the
HUD delegation.
According to Frankel,
what they saw was enough
to convince Velasquez that
a joint statement from HUD
and the Department of Justice
[DOJ] is needed that will
give cities and states more
local control.
Currently, under HUD’s
Fair Housing Act, and the
16-year-old ruling that ad-
dicts are subject to the laws
of the American Disabilities
Act, the courts have ruled
against cities attempting to
regulate sober homes.
Velasquez made a short
statement after the meeting promising to take local
concerns to DC and to bring
back a joint statement that
would weigh favorably for
the cities’ options.
”This may be a meaningful accomplishment, “Frankel
said. “The takeaway is more
home rule. We may not need
new laws . . . it is difficult to
pass anything in Congress
just now.”
Frankel said the secre-
The Pelican 17
tary gave her a 90-day time
frame to produce the statement which will be drawn
by attorneys from both HUD
and DOJ.
The day’s tour, Frankel
said, showed Velasquez that
the problem is not with the
clients, but with the operators
of the sober homes. And
Mayor Glickstein said, “We
need to let them know this is
a business.”
According to current
rulings, if the character of
a neighborhood is changed,
cities can refuse to grant sober home owners “reasonable
accommodation.”
But a clarification is
needed Frankel said as to
what changes the character
of a neighborhood. . “Is it
distance between the facilities, the quantity? What is
saturation? How many is too
many? That would have to
be decided case by case.”
A year ago, Frankel wrote
a letter to HUD and DOJ
asking the departments for
guidance in determining local
control, denying reasonable
accommodation and defining
sober homes versus treatment
centers.
In the last legislative
session, Florida lawmakers
passed a law making registration of sober homes voluntary but offering some benefits to those operators who
complied. That law doesn’t
go into effect until July 1.
Among the stories told
by city officials at Monday’s
meeting, was a report that
at one sober home in Boca
Raton the fire department
was called 115 times in one
month.
“This is not about bashing an industry, it is about
balance,” Frankel said.
While Delray Beach is
reputed to have the highest
proliferation of sober homes
per capita in South Florida,
Mayor Glickstein said getting
empirical evidence of this is
difficult. And he added, “It’s
not the number of homes, it
is the amount of beds. Ten
beds per home could equal a
population.”
Asked if a joint statement
would have an impact on
his city, Mayor Glickstein
replied, “It would be substantial if the statement gives
us meaningful tools .... they
[HUD] never understood how
powerless we all are at the
court level.”
At some point, a local
ordinance will be challenged
Mayor Glickstein said. His
hope is the viewpoint taken
by HUD and the Department
of Justice will give the cities
their day in court.

SampleMcDougald
Continued from page 6
during the war years. They had
to postpone the family’s move
until May 11, 1944.
By the time the McDougald family moved into the
home, the Dixie Highway had
lost some of its glamour. Mrs.
McDougald recalled, “Much
to my sorrow there was not
much traffic - just a couple
cars a day. It was lonely. We
often went out on the lawn and
waved at engineers and conductors in trains rolling down
the Florida East Coast Railway
tracks.”
William Duncan McDougald, born in Montgomery
County, Georgia, had arrived
in Deerfield in 1921. In 1929,
he married schoolteacher
Sarah Sellers. Although his
main occupation was farming, he also served as a city
commissioner for Deerfield as
well as its chief of police. He
was deputized by the Broward
County Sheriff’s Department
and was elected to several
terms as constable of the North
Broward district.
Over time, the McDougalds saw the farmland
surrounding their residence
transformed into commercial
property and encroaching
residential development; the
roadway once known as the
“new” Dixie Highway became
the “old” Dixie Highway. A
founding member of several
North Broward historical societies, Mrs. McDougald feared
that because of its location the
structure was threatened and
its future uncertain. A 50-year
resident of Broward County,
she died at age 73 in April
1979.
The McDougald children,
William D., Jr., Mary Ellen,
Margaret, Donald, Betsy and
Puzzle Answers
Dixie, inherited the house, and
in keeping with their mother’s desire, placed it on the
National Register of Historic
Places in 1984. Anxious to see
the house preserved for future
generations, the McDougalds
supported several attempts to
preserve it, including moving
the house to Deerfield Beach,
Tradewinds Park and the municipal golf course in Pompano Beach, but logistical and
financial complexities could
not be overcome.
In 1999 several community volunteers -- Margaret
White, Rebecca Maddox,
Marvin Buntrock and Margaret McDougald Shadoin
-- incorporated the non-profit
Sample-McDougald House
Preservation Society. Margaret White had previously
contacted Pompano Beach’s
city manager, C. William
Hargett, about municipal help
in finding a suitable location
to which the historic structure
could be relocated. Soon
thereafter a parcel of cityowned property on the southwest corner of NE 10th Street
and 5th Avenue was leased to
the new non-profit.
In November 2000, the
McDougald family donated
the house to the non-prof-
it. The State of Florida and
Broward County awarded
grant funds for the project and
on May 30, 2001, just minutes after midnight, the house
was moved off its original
site and over the next seven
hours traveled south on Dixie
Highway and then east on NE
10th Street to its new location.
Hundreds of people lined the
streets in the middle of the
night to view this once-in-alifetime sight.
The next phase of the project was the actual restoration
of the house’s exterior. This
included repairing damaged
wood siding, restoring masonry features, partial re-roofing,
restoring the house’s columns
and other architectural features, and painting the structure. This was followed by
work to restore the house’s
interior, including new electrical and climate-control systems, refinishing floors, walls,
ceilings and woodwork, as
well as fixtures. Much of this
needed work was performed
as in-kind donations by local
businesses.
In the early morning hours
of Oct. 25, 2005, Pompano
Beach was struck by Hurricane Wilma, resulting in
significant damage to the
Friday, May 6, 2016
historic structure: the roof
was opened, leading to water
damage to walls, ceilings and
floors. Wooden awnings were
ripped from the house and
a number of windows were
broken, as was the distinctive
leaded-glass fan light above
the entry door. Extensive
repairs began to “re-restore”
the house.
The non-profit organization then embarked on a $1.5
million site development and
landscaping project, featuring
native trees and vegetation,
with adequate space for special
events and social functions.
Other aspects of this phase
incorporated parking, lighting,
walkways and restrooms.
In 2008, during the celebration of Pompano Beach’s
100th anniversary of incorporation, the city commission
passed a resolution designating
the Sample-McDougald House
grounds as “Centennial Park.”
In 2010, the commission approved expanding the grounds
by about 35 percent, incorporating a former city tree
nursery into Centennial Park.
The Sample-McDougald
House at Centennial Park
opened to the public in 2011.
Since then it has offered
narrated tours of the historic
house to the public, schools
and private groups. The
Sample-McDougald House
has also developed a number
of annual events, including
its antique automobile show,
the Florida Highwaymen Art
Show and Holidays at the
Sample-McDougald House, in
addition to being the site for
public events of other local
non-profits such as the Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce, Pompano Proud and
the Rotary Club of Pompano
Beach among others. The
Sample-McDougald House at
Centennial Park also hosts a
wide variety of private events,
including weddings, company
picnics, parties and corporate
meetings.
Now, 100 years after its

Lowe’s and Habitat for

teamed up to help families
build better futures.
From now through May
31, customers at Lowe’s
stores in Broward County can
support Habitat Broward by
donating when they shop.
“Lowe’s has been a big
supporter of Habitat for
Humanity for some time –
both at the store level and at
build sites,” said Nancy Daly,
Habitat Broward’s Interim
Director of Development.
“They believe in our mission
that every family should have
a decent place to live.”
The six locations in Broward County where Lowe’s
has stores includes Coral
Springs, Oakland Park, Pembroke Pines, Pompano Beach,
W. Davie and Sunrise.
“We’re hoping everyone
rallies around this cause,” said
Daly. “One hundred percent
of every donation made will
benefit Habitat for Humanity
and the families in our communities.”
Habitat for Humanity of
Broward is one of nearly 100
Habitat locations around the
country that will be partnering
with 249 Lowe’s stores to
raise funds.
For additional information on how to get involved
locally, please contact Daly at

traffic is heavy in the area,

Committee Chair Whitney
Rawls asked if businesses
have been notified of changes
to come when the median is
added on MLK.
Danovich said the project
dates back three years and
public outreach meetings were
held. Letters also went out to
those affected.
“Some didn’t pay attention
and are now crying foul,” he
said. “We are making every
possible provision for trucks
to make turns, but there won’t
be median cuts everywhere.
If we did that, we won’t have
medians.
“This is the entry point to
Pompano Beach,” Danovich
said. “We can’t continue to
have a road that looked like
MLK looked. We need to
show that we’re building
quality roadways.”
“We want to make sure
we’re business friendly. We
don’t want to hurt business,”
Rawls said.
Asked about progress on
the new downtown library/
cultural center, Danovich
said, “The library is moving
right along and scheduled for
completion in October. Work
is under way on streetscape
on Southwest 1 Street, and the
ground floor of the center is
being finished and the building closed up.”
On the arts front, BaCA

courses for Ely High School
students through Embry-Riddle at no cost.
“Broward schools have
now expanded the program
to all public high schools,”
Baker said. “And we’ve
taken this one step further by
starting to explore a satellite campus, possibly at the
Pompano Beach Air Park for
the continuation of the college
program,” she said.
“Companies at the Air
Park have a need for trained
employees, and they have the
space to expand,” Baker said.
The college program could
start producing air traffic
controllers and pilots, she
said. “Now there’s not enough
talent to meet the demand.
Airlines are training their own
pilots,” she noted.
Spatz agreed. “The demand for mechanics, drone
operators, pilots and air
traffic controllers is very high.
They’re moderately high paying jobs that need to be filled.
You have to have the proper
education to do that.
“If we start in high school
acclimating kids to the aviation industry climate, they
will have careers down the
road. Most don’t know about
The Pelican 23
the opportunity.”
Pompano Aviation has
20-30 businesses as tenants,
including Florida Helicopter, which is educating in the
drone market. Drone operators
must have pilot’s licenses.
“Go on the FAA website,
and you’ll see that half of all
airline pilots are 50, and the
mandatory retirement age is
65. That shows what kind of
demand there is,” Spatz said.
“Broward College has a
good program for aircraft mechanics. They tell me before
they graduate the students
have a job.
“I am so happy that Broward County has recognized
that the Gaetz program is a
good program for students.
Eighty high schools in the
state are already in the program, including schools in
West Palm Beach and Miami-Dade County.”
The Gaetz Aerospace Institute under Embry-Riddle is
an enhanced dual enrollment
program for high schools. Students take the same courses
offered to students at the
Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach
campus and are assessed
accordingly.
The curriculum includes
courses in aeronautical science, private pilot operations,
unmanned aircraft systems,
computer programming and
engineering.
According to information
published by Embry-Riddle,
the major airlines hire more
alumni from the school than
from any other collegiate aviation program. The university
is the nation’s largest supplier
of air traffic controllers to the
FAA with bachelor’s degrees.
U.S. News & World Report
consistently ranks Embry-Riddle’s undergraduate aerospace
engineering program No. 1 in
the nation.
Six Embry-Riddle alumni
are current or former astronauts, including two women
from the Daytona Beach
campus.

Residents
get to
determine
the fate of
dogs on the
beach
The town’s first-ever
community information brochure will be sent to residents
shortly along with a survey
that could determine a change
in the rules concerning dogs
on the beach.
The survey outlines what
could become an ordinance
and will ask for approval,
disapproval or no opinion.
Proposed last year, but
voted down by the commission, was an ordinance which
would allow leashed dogs on
the beach seaward of the high
water line between 5 and 9
a.m. Dog owners would have
to register their animals, pay
a fee and receive an identifying scarf for the dog to wear
while on the beach.
The pamphlet contains
pertinent information about
local government, the town’s
history, voting information, a
condo listing of addresses and
unit numbers, rules for turtle
season, advice on hurricanes
and a listing of restaurants
that deliver to the town.

Coral reefs
Continued from page 1
sites, from north to south, are
named Staghorn City, Aruba’s,
Snorkel Trail and South Commercial.
Found here and in the
Caribbean, Lauderdale-by-theSea is the northernmost site for
staghorn coral, a shallow water
variety that in 2006 was designated a “threatened species”
by NOAA. It provides critical
shoreline protection.
In April 2015, teams from
Nova transplanted 400 staghorn
fragments from their coral nursery in Fort Lauderdale at the
local sites. More fragments will
be planted in spring, summer
and fall as weather permits.
LBTS Mayor Scot Sasser
and Brian Gagas of Gold Coast
Scuba joined d’Oliveira and
Nova Ph.D candidates on a trip
to Staghorn City, a site in 18
feet of water where fragments
were planted.
The fragments are attached
to the reef with marine epoxy
and tied or glued to a hockey
puck. The hockey puck method
proved to be the least effective
and most labor intensive. Mortality factors include breakage
from wave action, disease and
fireworm predation.
Nine months after transplanting fragments, overall
survival rate at three sites was
80 percent, Dr. David Gilliam
and Elizabeth Larson of Nova
wrote in a report to the commission. The Aruba site had the
highest survival rate with 84
percent followed by Staghorn
City with 81 percent. Success
Staghorn City reef site as it looked in March 2015 before the outplanting of
staghorn coral fragments.
was lowest at the near shore
Snorkel Trail site so future
transplanting will be at the
other three sites.
Following nine months of
growth, colonies had established themselves by growing
over their attachment materials
and onto the reef, producing
more branches and increasing
in size.
When the staghorn fragments are cut, they grow again
and can reach four to six feet,
d’Oliveira said. “There will be
a nice thicket of staghorn coral,
The same site in April 2016 shows substantial staghorn coral growth one year
after the outplanting. [Photos courtesy of Town of LBTS]
a nice habitat for fish.”
“The staghorn corals are the
foundation of our reefs,” Sasser
said to the commission. “When
you see it in person, it gives
you a whole new perspective.
It gives you a real appreciation
for the beauty.
“A lot of work went into
this [restoration project], but
it’s really worth it,” Sasser added. “That they have colonized
already is really amazing. It’s
worth a trip out there.”
The project will be featured
on Scuba Nation TV.

Kings and
Big Dollys
By RJ Boyle
Pelican angler
Pictured here is a 52 pound
dolphin caught aboard “Rebound” out of Hillsboro Inlet
with Capt. Stan Hunt. This
time of the year we start to
see big kings, dolphin, and
swordfish. The current in
the gulfstream during these
months around the full moon
flows really hard up to 5
knots. This causes lots of
fish that travel south as they
migrate to move nearshore out
of the strong current. Fishing this weekend should be
good as we have a few days
of northeast wind which will
help blow in big fish. Live
baiting and trolling will both
be good this weekend.

from over 600 applicants
each year and has trained
more than 150 young professionals who now appear
on the stages of the nation’s
leading operatic and theatrical
organizations. During their
residency, Young Artists perform recitals and concerts for
the community and outreach
programs for students, inspiring a new generation and
gaining valuable experience
and feedback.
Perhaps most importantly,
the Young Artists perform
