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!

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:

Elections of the Aquarius Board: Results

The Management Office did not disclose the composition of the Board posts

It is believable that it will be the same organization of last year. All incumbents were re-elected, even the appointed ones.

So until we get this information the composition of the Board should be like this:

Kiet – President
Ella – Vice
Leon – Secretary
Liza – Treasurer
Cooper – Director-at-large

Votes that each candidate received January 17, 2023

Behar, Leon – – – – – – – – – – -139
Cooper, Philippe – – – – – – –  119
Fishman, Elzbieta (Ella)Jankowska  – 145
Gupta, Bhagwan – – – – – – – –52
Herrera, Orlando- – – – – – – – -42
Khalevich, Elizabeth (Liza) -169
Ngo, Kiet – – – – – – – – – – – – – -147
Ort, Judith – – – – – – – – – – – –  45
Rocha, Victor – – – – – – – – – – –  42
Satz, Linda – – – – – – – – – – – – 55
Zeltser, Mark- – – – – – – – – – – 10

Congratulations to the victorious candidates.

I have the sincere hope that the year of 2023 will be more productive than last year. The passage of time, inflation and the natural deterioration of the property are not helped by procrastination. Perfection is the enemy of good. Let’s do it!
