This box has been missing a cover for months. It’s located on the east side of Military Trail across from 4251 Crystal Lake Drive. It really needs a steel cover. Also, thank you for repairing the utility box on 45th Street. Looks great. Sandra Batter, Deerfield Beach. “I wish...
A cure for Alzheimer’s? Trial study underway at Broward Health
A new study underway at Broward Health could revolutionize the way Alzheimer’s disease is treated. Alzheimer’s is caused by a buildup of plaque (proteins) in the brain and Broward Health, in a partnership with University of Florida Health, and Insightec, is testing MRI-guided focused ultrasound to temporarily create an opening in the blood-brain barrier. This opening would allow plaque to clear out of the brain. While there is no known cure for the disease, Broward Health neurosurgeon Shaye Moskowitz is hopeful this medical innovation will be able to control the disease process earlier.
Fishing Report: Lots of good eating fish off Hillsboro Inlet
Pictured above is the Winder and Forbush party with a spectacular catch from yesterday. You really can’t ask for much more than this on a half day charter. Blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and sailfish is really covering all bases. We did have a couple slower days mixed in earlier in the week, only capturing a few mahi and some snapper. Fishing is called fishing and not catching for a reason. Catches like this above make it all worthwhile.

“Our Gen” has the feel of a lazy-hot afternoon spent listening to music with good friends
Review by Terri Schlichenmeyer | Contributing Columnist. Sometimes, you just have to lay your burden down. When it’s heaviest, when your arms can’t support it and your back breaks from the weight of it, when your shoulders and your heart ache from it, release it. Let it go, let it be. Or, as in the new novel, “Our Gen: A Novel” by Diane McKinney-Whetstone, ask a friend to lend a hand.

Longtime Broward Shell Show returns for exhibitors, collectors, and the just curious
Pompano Beach – Browsing the endless assortment of seashells along the beach is certainly one of South Florida’s most consistent and beloved past times. The mysterious specimens that wash up on our shores have been captivating coastal inhabitants since the days of the Tequesta, who made use of the wide variety of natural materials for tools and ceremony. Both aesthetically and scientifically fascinating, the story of how these treasures form in nature and appear on our favorite beach is often lost in the mix.
Sample-McDougald House garden aims to connect Pompano to its historic roots
Pompano Beach – In the constantly changing landscape of South Florida’s seemingly endless sprawl it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish the unique characteristics of each town. But in the early 20th century, between the lavish Mediterranean revival palaces of Palm Beach and the vibrant prohibition era decadence of Miami, the small settlement of Pompano Beach provided an essential resource: agriculture.

Fishing Report: The wahoo bite will get you right
Pictured here is the Tony Grant party with a couple of nice wahoo on a half-day trip earlier this week aboard the Lisa B. Wahoo has become the most consistent go-to trolling fish for anglers in our area. We used to consider wahoo a seasonal fish as the winter months were the best but these highly migratory fish now bite year-round. Some say it is because we fish for them and target them more than we ever did, but I am here to tell you that the wahoo population locally has grown immensely over the last two years.
