Labor Day Celebration

Aquarius Labor Day Celebration

September6,  2023

 

At the Aquarius Condominium Association, neighbors gather to celebrate Labor Day. Susan Farber was gracious enough to offer a delightful piano performance.

The Aquarius Labor Day gathering was skillfully coordinated by dedicated volunteers Zina L, Emma S., Zina C., and Taisa G. The Aquarius community is truly fortunate to have such proactive and generous neighbors who wholeheartedly contribute to the overall well-being of their neighbors.

Aquarius Library – every week new titles!

Aquarius Library – every week new titles 

 

Donations of new titles continuously enrich the Aquarius Library’s collection, with weekly additions. If you haven’t visited lately, you might be missing out. Our library operates on a strict honor system – you can contribute if you wish, or simply take what you need, without any limitations or regulations.

You might wonder how the Aquarius Library remains so organized despite the frequent turnover due to travel (for family health reasons). Well, we owe our gratitude to two remarkable families: Abe and Zina Lederman, along with John and M. Carolyn Butera. They diligently maintain the fiction section, ensuring all books are alphabetically arranged by the authors’ names, and keep the non-fiction books neatly shelved.

In addition to the Fiction and Non-Fiction sections, we take pride in three special shelves. We have a collection of timeless CLASSICS, a shelf dedicated to FOREIGN LANGUAGE books with an extensive selection of titles in RUSSIAN, and a top shelf featuring books related to ISRAEL and Jewish culture.

While our periodicals section may be relatively small, we keep it fresh by removing most magazines after three months of publication. Our children’s section, though currently modest, is steadily improving, catering to our young readers.

Keep on reading!

Hollywood Beach Shooting: Mayor Statement

Statement from Mayor Josh Levy Regarding Shooting Incident on Hollywood Beach.

I am deeply saddened and angered by the Memorial Day shooting in our city that resulted in injuries to innocent bystanders. Our thoughts go out to the victims and their families during this difficult time and our prayers for a speedy recovery.

It is completely unacceptable that innocent people spending time with family on a holiday weekend have been affected by a shooting altercation between two groups who came into our city with guns and no regard for the safety of the law abiding public around them. 

Law enforcement agencies are fully engaged in their investigation, and I assure you that no stone will be left unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice. We will utilize every available resource to apprehend those responsible for these injuries. 

I want to emphasize that the safety and well-being of our residents and visitors is always our top priority. Hollywood Police has dozens of officers assigned to the beach on busy holiday weekends and that allowed for an immediate response that resulted in multiple persons detained for this incident. 

I am thankful for the many good Samaritans and the paramedics of Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety who rendered quick emergency aid to the injured at the scene, and thankful for the emergency room doctors and nurses at Memorial Regional Hospital and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital for their life saving work year-round. 

I urge anyone with information related to the incident to come forward and cooperate with the authorities. It is vital that we all stand united against violence and work collectively to create a safer environment for everyone.

In the wake of this event, let us remember that our community’s strength lies in its resilience and compassion. We must support one another, offer comfort to those affected, and work diligently to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Thank you, and together, let us strive for a safer and more peaceful country.

Sincerely,

City of Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy.

Hollywood Broadwalk Extension Concept

BEACH WALK CONCEPT

for South Hollywood Beach Discussed,

as published in New Horizons, City of Hollywood Quarterly Newsletter, April – July 2023 http://www.hollywoodfl.org

“In March, Conceptual designs for a pedestrian walkway in the southern portion of Hollywood Beach from Georgia Street to Magnolia Terrace were presented to the City Commission and public. The Community Redevelopment Agency is applying for a $500,000 Florida Department of Transportation Recreational Trails Program Grant that would be used to help finance construction of a 15-foot wide walkway in this section of the beach. The public meeting was an opportunity for stakeholders to share their ideas and learn more about what could be possible for the southern portion of the beach. Elevated wood walkways, crushed shell and pavers were discussed, as well as costs, feasibility and a phased approach with a north and center section as part of the scope of the work. Additional opportunities for public input will take place as the project develops over time.”

The first phase would extend the Hollywood Broadwalk from the Summit condominium to just before the Wave. From Georgia Street to Magnolia Terrace, Keating Park.

The idea, seems to be, to piggyback in the already approved beach nourishment that entails beach enlargement with construction of protection dunes. Maybe more important than the Hollywood Broadwalk South extension would be if Aquarius would benefit from the protection of the dunes or the dunes building would stop at Magnolia Terrace. Aquarius beach strip is quite narrow. The construction of dunes and beach enlargement would be a positive factor protecting the property from king tides and eventual the periodical strong waves.

Here the CBS Miami TV presents an informative video of the proposed idea. It seems that the dunes are going to be built the walkway is still an idea under development.

Hollywood’s ‘walkway idea’ would extend beach walk to the south – CBS Miami.  The interview with the Hollywood Mayor at the end of the clip is very interesting.  click here:
