On Tuesday, June 22nd, the City of Lauderhill Building Officials deemed the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of all four of the Brampton Court buildings unsafe - 1980 NW 46 Avenue, 4591 NW 19 Street, 1981 NW 43 Terrace, and 4391 NW 19 Street. Residents were notified to move out by Friday, the 25th of June by noon if they resided above the 1st floor. With only one of the eight elevators in service, City Fire and Building Officials deemed the facilities unlivable because of deteriorated staircases.
The Building and Fire Officials have been witnessing progress toward minimizing life safety issues in the staircases. Based on those developments the deadline was extended several times, where residents now have until Thursday, July 1, 2010, by noon to vacate the property. Officials will continue to closely monitor progress and the Fire Watch is still in effect.
Residents can call the Family Success Center at 954-357-6367 and Legal Aid at 954-765-8950 for assistance during this difficult time. Also, the City website www.lauderhill-fl.gov has a link for several neighboring apartment associations with specials for those displaced from Brampton Courts.

SCHOOL’S OUT TRAFFIC SAFETY TIPS
As the school year comes to a close, the City of Lauderhill, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST) of Broward County remind motorists and students to take extra traffic safety precautions during summer break. During the summer children are at increased risk of transportation related injuries from pedestrian, bicycle, and motor vehicle crashes. FDOT and the CTST offer the following tips for making summer safer for motorists and students.
Tips for Motorists
· Slow down and obey all traffic laws, speed limits and traffic signals.
· Keep an eye out for children walking or bicycling in the street, especially where there are no sidewalks.
· Be alert for children playing and for those who may dart into the street without looking for traffic.
· When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch for children walking, biking skating or skateboarding.
Tips for Parents
· Be a good role model. Always buckle up in the car, always wear a helmet when biking, and always follow pedestrian safety rules.
· Supervise young children as they are walking, biking or skating.
· Provide your children with bright clothing so motorists can easily see them.
· Make sure that your child is properly buckled up in the appropriate child safety seat and in the back seat. Safety experts advise that all children under the age of 12 should ride in the back seat.
· Make sure that your teen driver understands and obeys all state traffic laws.
Tips for Students
· Always buckle up when riding in a car. Always ride in the back seat. It’s the safest place for young people.
· Always wear a helmet and follow traffic safety rules when riding your bike.
· Learn and practice the safety rules for pedestrians. It’s extremely important for you to use the sidewalk when available, look left-right-left when crossing the road, and always walk facing traffic.
· Always cross at crosswalks, obey all traffic signs and traffic lights.
· Teen drivers should avoid speeding and minimize distractions (texting, talking on cell phones, eating, adjusting the radio) while driving. Never overload your vehicle. Require everyone riding in your vehicle to use a safety belt.
· Teen drivers should be a good role model for your younger brothers and sisters and friends, and help them learn and follow vehicle safety rules.

Why Doesn't Someone Fix Those Pealing Mast-Arms?
This question has come up a lot. The mast-arms were put up all over Broward, and they are pealing. So, why aren't they fixed? Why is it taking so long? This is the answer we received from Broward County.
"The mast-arms are owned by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and were designed, permitted, and constructed as part of a FDOT project. These mast-arms are not owned by Broward County, nor is the paint finish maintained by the Broward County. FDOT is very much aware of this situation and is currently in the process of evaluating solutions to restore the paint finish to these mast-arms. We understand that FDOT has also filed a claim against the contractor as these mast arms are still under warranty. FDOT’s contact person for this issue is Mr. John Danielsen (https://webmail.lauderhill-fl.gov/owa/redir.aspx?C=b055b25b1410446d99db9bd7a6bfaafd&URL=mailto%3aJohn.Danielsen%40dot.state.fl.us). You may want to contact him directly for the current status."
NOTE: The mast-arms are also not owned by the City of Lauderhill, and we cannot take action to fix them.

Historic Sri Lanka vs. BLACKCAPS Series Re-Shaped
This week's historic series of international cricket matches scheduled for Florida has been re-shaped to include two double headers, featuring the New Zealand BLACKCAPS vs. Sri Lanka and the USA vs. Jamaica.
New Zealand and Sri Lanka were originally scheduled to play three international Twenty20 matches to launch the hosting of full international cricket in the USA. However, the International Cricket Council has ruled that the lights available at the Broward County Regional Park are not quite up to the standard required for the broadcast and hosting of full international cricket.
"Ideally the inaugural game in the Pearls Cup series would have been a night game on Thursday, The lights at the stadium are fine for most levels of cricket, but they need to be of a higher standard for the playing and broadcast of international cricket." said New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan.
“And added to this, there is a high probability of rain and thunderstorms in the region on Thursday which added weight to our decision. Because of these factors, we have decided, along with our partner USA Cricket, to focus all of the attention on the weekend with the two double headers as well a full One Day International between USA and Jamaica on Friday the 21st.”
"The BLACKCAPS are tremendously excited about the opportunity of launching international cricket in the United States and it promises to be an amazing weekend of cricket. The BLACKCAPS have had fantastically close games against the Sri Lankan team in recent times and the Pearls Cup series promises to be a great spectacle.
It is also great to see that Jamaica have sent a full-strength squad, including a number of players who have played for the West Indies. Their games against the top USA team should also add a lot to the event" Vaughan said.
Anyone who had purchased a ticket for Thursday's game should contact Ticketmaster for a reallocation to the weekend or a refund.
