Lauderhill 6-12 Student Wins National 2015 LOFT Fellowship
Andrew Gayle heard that Lauderhill 6-12 students were programming drones, creating games, and entering contests; it was not difficult to predict his next move- he decided to join the party. Immediately he submerged himself in with a group of programmers and gamers.
The next steps towards his goal of owning his own video game company continued as a student in Mr. Deich’s Game Design classes; it was there he learned about the value of competing. Andrew entered the Video Game Innovation Fellowship Challenge sponsored by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF); their goal is to challenge minority youths to develop video games addressing social issues impacting their communities. Andrew entered the national competition with an original video game, “The Trash Eliminator” which brings awareness to pollution and the value of recycling.
Andrew was identified as one of twenty Fellows to receive a grant to network and continue development of his game project. Andrew was flown to Washington, D.C on October 21st to present his idea to Antonio Tijerino, President and CEO of Hispanic Heritage Foundation. He spent the morning providing interviews to the Miami Herald, NBC Universal, and local DC news outlets. At the Capital, he met and networked with Rep. Tony Cardenas (CA), Rep. Ruben Gallego (AZ), Rep Stony Hoyer (MD), Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (NM), and Michael Echols, Director of Cybersecurity of US Department of Homeland Security; they discussed his game and the empowerment of minority youth related to STEM. His day concluded with a White House briefing led by Erik Martin from the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Andrew was selected for his vision, creativity and positive impact on the community. As a 2015 LOFT Fellowship recipient Andrews plans on utilizing his $1000 on a new laptop purchase that meets his gaming requirements. He has also started recruiting members to join his team. The Trash Eliminator has a bright future.

City Commission Workshop Notes of October 20
On October 20, the City Commission held its regular monthly workshop and the following are notes of interest:
1) BUS TRANSFER STATION – LAUDERHILL MALL (MAYOR RICHARD J. KAPLAN) - Plans are proceeding but taking longer to accomplish then originally expected. There is a matter related to supplying security to the facility that is being addressed.
2) Ordinance No. 150-06-123: Campaign contributions by Charter Officers and Attorney Discussion - Consensus of the Commission was not to pursue this law as it was felt to possibly not be needed over the objections of Mayor Kaplan. However they did agree to hold off any further action until the Florida Bar issues an Ethics Opinion concerning the Supervisor of Elections Attorney on whether it is legal for a person in that capacity can be involved in a campaign, or is it a conflict to their client's interest.
(REQUESTED BY MAYOR RICHARD J. KAPLAN)
4) BUSINESS LICENSEE FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES (REQUESTED BY VICE MAYOR
HAWYARD
3) GOOD NEIGHBOR STORE INITIATIVE (REQUESTED BY VICE MAYOR HAYWARD J.
BENSON, JR.) - Agreed to let it move forward and provide support
4) BUSINESS LICENSEE FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES (REQUESTED BY VICE MAYOR
HAWYARD
5) FLORIDA PACE FUNDING AGENCY (REQUESTED BY VICE MAYOR BENSON) - Agreed to support. This conforms to the prior Ordinance passed by the City Commission in 2011 to authorize PACE within the city. However, a small amendment is now required to that ordinance, plus a resolution specifically to authorize funding.
6) CITY COMMISSION MEETING TIMES (REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER M. MARGARET BATES) - Discussion on possibly moving Commission Meetings once a month to the afternoon. Consensus was against this however as an experiment, one future meeting could be tried to see if there is a change in attendance.
7) DISCUSSION AND CLARIFICATION OF SECTION 3.03 – ELECTION AND TERM OF
OFFICE. (REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER M. MARGARET BATES.) - Clarification was that the 12 year consecutive terms limits applies to the person and not the seat. Therefore, a Commissioner who had already served 10 years could run for Mayor, but if elected could only serve for 2 of the 4 years of that term.
8) RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS DIRECTORS/ EMPLOYEES/ CHIEFS (REQUESTED BY CITY MANAGER CHARLES FARANDA) - Present law requires the Police and Fire Chief to live in the city. It is possible that this may be changed to allow them to also live in a contiguous city to Lauderhill.
9) DISCUSSION/PROCEDURE TO CHANGE THE MAILING ADDRESS OF ANNEXED
AREAS FROM FT. LAUDERDALE TO LAUDERHILL (REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER M. MARGARET BATES.) - This is a function mostly of the Post Office. The City Attorney will send them a letter to see what can be done about it.

Lauderhill Officials to Celebrate the Opening of the New Fire Station - #110 on Oct. 29, 2015
The addition of Fire Station #110 in 2006 followed the City of Lauderhill’s annexation of the St. George, West Ken Lark and Broward Estates Communities. The City’s Fire Department has been operating out of a temporary trailer facility located at 3120 NW 12 Place since that time.
On Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 10 am, the City’s Officials along with the Fire Department Staff and the residents of the City of Lauderhill will celebrate with a Ribbon Cutting for a new state of the art Fire Station to be located at the same address as the long standing temporary facility.
The new 15,000 square foot state of the art facility was Designed and Built by West Construction, Inc and West Architecture + Design, LLC to meet the LEED Silver standards. These standards conform to the City’s ordinance requiring all newly constructed City buildings to be environmentally friendly.
Fire Station #110 includes three fire truck bays, living quarters for fire rescue staff, a kitchen, a dayroom, an exercise room, separate restroom/shower facilities for both male and females, offices, storage rooms, a stand-by emergency generator, a police sub-station, and a medical triage room on the first floor.
The second floor includes a multi-purpose room and serves as the City’s back-up Emergency Operations Center - as Fire Station #57 serves as the primary.
“The opening of Fire Station #110 is a great accomplishment for the City and a real source of pride for our residents in the southeast corridor of Lauderhill. The building is the flagship for our very honorable fire department but it is also a beautiful addition for our community,” explains Mayor Richard J. Kaplan.
Although the City’s Official Ribbon Cutting will commence at 10 am, there will be an Official Cornerstone Laying Ceremony by the Masonic Grand Lodge of Florida at 9:00 am. The Honorable Stephen P. Boring, Grand Master of Masons of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge will preside over the proceedings. Both the 9 am Masonic Cornerstone Laying Ceremony and the 10 am Official City Ribbon Cutting Ceremony are free and open to the public.

I am too old to learn chess ... Really?
Many adults don't know how to play ... and ... are a just wee bit intimidated by the game of kings and queens. Of course, many can understand being apprehensive watching second and third graders play -- many have been humbled by elementary school players!
So, here is a short video you can use to learn enough to sit down with a student (or a friend) and at least be able to move around the board. You can use this to be ready for the Mayors' Chess Challenges.

BCPS Head Start/Early Intervention Department Launches Early Learning Messaging Initiative
Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) Head Start/Early Intervention Department is launching a new initiative for families. The department is sending messages with early learning tips and activities directly to parents and guardians across the community. The messages are targeted to support “learning on the go” for infants, toddlers and pre-kindergarten children through everyday routines and events.
It’s easy for families to receive these messages. On social media, follow the Head Start/Early Intervention Department on Twitter @BCPSHdStrtVPK or like them on Facebook at facebook.com/HeadStartEarlyIntervention.![9242015_13448_1.png](https://webmail.lauderhill-fl.gov/owa/attachment.ashx?id=RgAAAAAcob46aIXBQqlOZQL6H9VLBwBvz7VDjuheTYyjv8N1UfzLAAAAA1Z4AAAR6%2f3EddUBRaBYQFU6A6ymAAAAKPOIAAAJ&attcnt=1&attid0=BAABAAAA&attcid0=image002.png%4001D0F6F0.166EABC0)

Parents and guardians can also choose the messages they want to receive via the District’s free mobile app. Just visit an app store from a mobile device to download the BCPS app. From the BCPS app, choose the “configure app” option, click on "Follow Schools," then scroll down to “follow” one or more of the following:
- BCPS4Infants
- BCPS4Toddlers
- BCPS4PreK
From the “configure app” option, you can also choose your language preference.
“The first years of a child’s life are crucial for their development,” said Dr. Nicole Mancini, director of BCPS Head Start/Early Intervention. “Research indicates that children who are nurtured and engaged from birth through the preschool years are better prepared for kindergarten and are more likely to be successful throughout their lives. These messages showcase how simple actions can make a big impact on a child’s development.”
The BCPS4 Infants/Toddlers/Pre-K messages are delivered twice a week beginning Monday, September 28, 2015.

by the residents of Lauderhill. Since then he has worked with Waste Pro,
the City’s recycling provider, to help underwrite the costs associated with
the series.
This year’s Green Series will include a total of 7
free classes at City Hall. The Green Series includes classes
that help residents with planting gardens, maintaining lawns, growing lawns,
plants and trees, selecting edible gardens for your home/condo, and general
irrigations techniques.
All classes are located in the Multi-Purpose Rooms at
City Hall 5581 West Oakland Park Blvd. – 5581 West Oakland Park Boulevard,
33313.
The first class this season is this week and is “BIG
HARVEST……SMALL SPACE – How to maximize the yield while growing your condo or
backyard,” Thursday, September 17, 2015 at 6 pm.
Commissioner Thurston explained, “Years ago, many of us
lost our trees to a citrus canker epidemic. In an effort to replenish, we will
continue to give away citrus trees at each and every class. I love to see people
growing their own fruits again. Tangerines, grapefruits and lemons are just
some of what we give away at the Green Series classes.”
For additional information or to RSVP, please call Lexie at
954-777-2040 or email her at alhall@lauderhill-fl.gov . Seats are provided on a
first come first serve basis.

Update on TS Erika #2
As of Sunday morning, TS Erika appears to be substantially weakening and moving west. It may be downgraded to a Tropical Wave or Depression. Projections show it going over Cuba and then maybe heading north into the Gulf where it could strengthen again. Some projections show it heading WNW from there or North towards Tallahassee.
At this time no State of Emergency has been declared in the City of Lauderhill. Expectations are mild winds, rain and the potential for flooding.
A discussion occurred between the City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk and Mayor about proceeding with the Monday City Commission Meeting and holding an Emergency Meeting today to discuss it with the City Commission. Given the downgrading and direction of the storm, it was felt that no Emergency Meeting is necessary at this time and we can proceed with the meeting on Monday as planned.
However, if the storm should drastically change in the next 24 - 36 hours, then any decisions are subject to change.

Update on Tropical Storm Erika and Lauderhill Meetings
TS Erika has been a bit of an erratic storm and projections over the last 48 hours have her going from a Tropical Storm to as a Class 1 or 2 Hurricane, and as far down as a Tropical Wave. The direction started towards South Florida, moved east off coast between Florida and the Bahamas, and now moving west, possibly towards the Keyes.
The one thing predictable about this storm is that it is not predictable. By Sunday a lot more will be known, but that may not leave much time to prepare. Depending upon the situation, at worse, make sure you have set aside Sunday to complete preparation if you haven't already, including putting up shutters if needed. Right now the biggest concern is flooding, but that may quickly change.
As to the closing of governmental buildings, schools, cancelling meetings and the like, no decisions have been made. The City of Lauderhill staff will be discussing tomorrow whether to go forward with the Monday Night City Commission Meeting. Depending upon the discussion the City Commission may be acting upon it and an announcement will be put out if there are any changes.

Hurricane Preparedness Needed Now - TS Erika
While Tropical Storm Erika is far out to sea, recent projections show that South Florida is presently within the cone but may weaken. At this time, at its present course and speed, it is possible for our area to start feeling the effects of wind and rain on late Saturday, and come to our shores very late Sunday/early Monday. It is too soon to know precisely if this storm will develop into a serious concern for us and fortunately the storm has not increased its strength yet.
The City of Lauderhill is beginning its pre-storm plans and is closely monitoring the situation.
Now is a good time, if you haven't already, to take action and be prepared for any storm that may be coming into our area during this Hurricane Season.
The recommendation is in the next day or so it would be wise to make sure that any loose exterior landscaping, or loose objects that could fly, be disposed of/secured. Also, if there are drains in the area, that they be inspected so that they are not clogged.
You may also wish to look over your emergency plans to make sure that you will be prepared in the event Erika or any other storm this season does approach our area and strengthens, i.e., food, water, batteries, etc. It is easier to plan ahead, then to wait until everyone else is trying to do the same thing at the same time.
The best course of action is to be prepared. Also, if you are doing any work around your house, you need to be careful about it. Don't hurt yourself, and get help if you need it to avoid injuries.
We are hoping that the storm stays far away from us and/or disappears, but it is a prudent idea to always be ready.

ICC Suspends USACA
Recently the International Cricket Council (ICC) suspended again the United States of America Cricket Association (USACA), who was the cricket association administering cricket in the US and sanctioned all international and national games. The suspension was due to the failure of USACA to comply with numerous provisions of the ICC Constitution, among other reasons.
At this time the ICC has assumed the authority to sanction all future games until such time as they determine if USACA or some other organization may be granted this authority. USACA still manages cricket in the US though this is unclear as to what this means.
In the meantime previous attempts by organizations who were unable to obtain sanctioning authority from USACA are now working towards this goal from the ICC.
It has already been announced that the Caribbean Premiere League (CPL) is planning to hold games in Lauderhill in 2016. Also efforts to bring international games involving the WICB and other international teams are being sought.
In all of these situations, plans are very early and nothing has been set, sanctioned or confirmed.

Drought Conditions Persist, Residents Urged to Conserve Water
Broward is experiencing a drier than normal rainy season this year. Eastern
parts of the County are under Stage 3 drought conditions, which is considered an
extreme drought. The rest of the County is under Stage 2, considered a severe
drought. Drought can be defined as a prolonged period of abnormally low
rainfall. Broward urges its residents to practice good management of our water
resources and demonstrate that "Water Matters".
In Broward County, landscape irrigation is only allowed two days a week, depending on address, and no watering is allowed between 10AM and 4PM. Odd-numbered addresses may water Wednesdays and/or Saturdays. Even-numbered addresses, or those who irrigate addresses within the same zones, may water on Thursdays and/or Sundays. Residences and businesses that use reclaimed water may water any day of the week. Here are some tips to help reduce your water use:
In Broward County, landscape irrigation is only allowed two days a week, depending on address, and no watering is allowed between 10AM and 4PM. Odd-numbered addresses may water Wednesdays and/or Saturdays. Even-numbered addresses, or those who irrigate addresses within the same zones, may water on Thursdays and/or Sundays. Residences and businesses that use reclaimed water may water any day of the week. Here are some tips to help reduce your water use:
- Use native plants or other plants that require little supplemental irrigation.
- If watering with a hose, make sure it has a shut-off nozzle. Water slowly to reduce runoff and to allow the water to penetrate deep to the plant's roots. Water only things that grow. Adjust sprinklers so they are not spraying water on paved surfaces.
- Install and maintain rain sensors on your irrigation controller if it does not have one built-in.
- Regularly inspect sprinkler heads to make sure they are not damaged or malfunctioning.
- Don't just water because it is your day. Irrigate your lawn when it shows signs of stress from lack of water. Pay attention to signs of stressed grass, such as a bluish-gray color, lingering footprints and leaf blades that are folded in half.
- Find a commercial car wash that uses recycled water. If you wash your own car, park on the grass, use a bucket of soapy water and a hose with a shut-off nozzle.
- Install low-flow faucets or faucet aerators.
- Install low-flow showerheads and time your shower to less than five minutes.
- If your toilet is older than 1993, consider replacing it and participating in the Broward Water Partnership's Conservation Pays Program where you may be eligible for a rebate.
- Scrape your dishes, don't rinse before loading into the dishwasher. And always operate the dishwasher only when you have a full load. Remember to turn off water when you are brushing your teeth or shaving. Every drop counts!

Parkway Magnet Middle School Student Places First in Florida Piano Competition
Congratulations to Parkway Magnet Middle School student, Quin Nardonne, who competed in the state-wide Florida Piano Competition. He received three first place finishes in Solo, Hymn, and Sight Play and placed second in the concerto, the most difficult category, with the strongest competition. In addition to his trophies, Nardonne received a $600 check.
To prepare for this honor, Nardonne practiced and performed daily. This dedication along with the motivation of his mother and tutor has led to many accomplishments such as his selection by the Chopin Foundation to play in the Chopin Concert.
