You can read the entire Lake Worth Herald editorial here. The Herald is responding to some people (one is the speaker in the video below) who want to make our Bryant Park a battleground in the debate about homelessness. Why is this happening in Lake Worth? A little City of just 6 square miles instead of a big city where they would get much more media attention? You see, it has nothing to do with the homeless; it has everything to do with the municipal elections in March of next year.
Watch the video and read the excerpt from the Herald below:
The argument of homeless veterans is a valid one. There
are some homeless veterans and there is also a vast network
of free help available to veterans that isn't available to nonveterans.
Instead of threatening the city, assist them with
getting available help. This we know would go against the
grain of anarchy by solving a problem.
The real crux is not the homeless, that's just an anarchists
way of kicking down the door. It came apparent Tuesday when
a guy who said his name is Ryan told the commission it was
nice they start the meeting with a prayer, it's so 1950ish and
the Pledge of Allegiance needs to be changed. This comment
came after he and his friends exercised their “legal” (meaning
created by a law) right to remain seated through the prayer
and Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America. It makes one wonder how the Veterans they use as
pawns in their battle with society feel about them.
If they truly cared about the homeless, they would be assisting
them instead of using their existence to further the
anarchist agenda and disrupt the lives of the many citizens who
wish to live peacefully and safe in this little slice of paradise.
Lake Worth has an election coming and these people will
use every opportunity to twist and “create” falsehoods to sway
the vote of Lake Worth Citizens who just want to live their
life in Lake Worth. Sitting commissioners Ryan Maier and
Christopher McVoy appear to be sympathetic to the anarchists
and if they get another sympathetic commissioner in the next
election, anarchy could rule Lake Worth.
Think of a Lake Worth with no street lights, completely
dark at night. Think crime! That is the atmosphere they desire.
Think of parks and city streets where it is completely unsafe
to visit. A city where going out of your home is extremely
dangerous.
A Lake Worth the majority of citizens don't want to see.
Ok, come on, paint graffiti on our building again!
[If you want to understand the frame of mind of the Anarchists the Herald is referring to, the last line says it all. They demand the right to exercise their right to free speech but when the Herald exercises their free speech rights they spray paint the publishers building with graffiti. Kind of sums it up doesn't it?]

Tropical Storm Erika, the Palm Beach Post editorial board, and how did PBSO get caught up in this?
My blog readers are a clever bunch. One of them did a parody of a recent editorial in the Post no doubt in response to the ever-constant drumbeat of negativity by the newspaper of Sheriff Bradshaw and our PBSO. Have fun reading this paragraph by paragraph, first from the Post editorial and then the parody:
[Post Editorial] “I don’t think that message was being conveyed,” James Franklin, chief of forecast operations of the Miami-based center, told The Post’s Kimberly Miller.
[Reader Parody] “I don’t think that message was being conveyed,” Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office (PBSO), told The Post’s Lawrence Mower.
[PE] Erika, he emphasized, was an unusually difficult storm to predict. Indeed, each forecast included plenty of caveats. But it may be human nature — or the sound-bite nature of many newscasts and news websites — to boil down news to simple messages, and for the nuances to quickly flee from mind.
[RP] Deputy shootings, he emphasized, was an unusually difficult situation to predict. Indeed, each incident included plenty of caveats. But it may be human nature — or the sound-bite nature of many newscasts and news websites — to boil down news to simple messages, and for the nuances to quickly flee from mind.
[PE] Franklin did say that the National Hurricane Center may need to do a better job of drawing attention to some of the other forecasting products they put out — such as the map that conveys the probability that an area will feel hurricane- or tropical storm-force winds.
[RP] Bradshaw did say that the PBSO may need to do a better job of drawing attention to some of the other information they put out — such as the need to obey a deputy's instructions and that an area known for crime is best avoided by the public.
[PE] That would be a welcome addition to the coverage of the next potential hurricane that seems aimed at South Florida. Because, of course, there will be a next one.
[RP] That would be a welcome addition to the coverage by The Palm Beach Post and potentially avoid another unfortunate confrontation. Unfortunately, there is crime and criminals in South Florida and there will be a next one.
[PE] What worries us about a nonevent like Erika is that the public will remember it with exaggerated clarity the next time hurricane warnings arise. If people think that meteorologists’ reports are unreliable and the media’s treatment is overly alarmist, there’s a good chance that nonchalance and cynicism will supersede preparedness.
[RP] What worries PBSO about the reporting in the Post is that the public will remember an incident with exaggerated alarmism the next time a situation arises. If people learn that PBSO’s reports are reliable and the media’s treatment is overly alarmist, there’s a good chance that ignorance and cynicism will superseded by more public awareness.
[For a parody to work it has to have an element of truth. This is a very clever piece of work.]

State of Delaware DOT removing all "Share the Road" signs; and will Austin Gilliam's death be in vain
Read about the sad death of Austin Gilliam below. First, an article by Geffen Semach in MomentumMag explains why "Share the Road" signs are having the opposite effect than what's intended:
In November, 2014, the Delaware Department of Transportation announced that they would cease to use the “Share the Road” plaque on license plates and uninstall all “Share the Road” traffic signs across the state. Many assumed that the cycling advocacy group, Bike Delaware, would be infuriated by the announcement. As it turns out, Bike Delaware were the ones to request the signs’ removal. But why?Read about the terrible death of Austin Gilliam here. We learned from one media source that Mr. Gilliam wasn't wearing a helmet which was information not very helpful in this vehicle/bicycle crash. Below is a sign near the area where he was run over by a large semi truck:
Despite its good intentions, the “Share the Road” directive had some serious problems – its issues sprung from a general sense of confusion and disagreement between road users on who the sign was directed at, at what it was telling them to do. [emphasis added]
For bicyclists in Delaware (and elsewhere), “Share the Road” was interpreted to be for motorists, telling them to just, you know, be cool, give people on bikes some space. But for drivers, the sign was there to tell cyclists: “Don’t slow me down, stay over to the side so I can pass.” After years of yelling “Share the Road!” at each other, it was finally realized that not only does the sign not help, it actually contributes to conflict between the various modes.
The little City of Lake Worth's "Pink Hotel"? Not quite folks. . .
Our City's Gulfstream Hotel was other colors other than pink as you can see in the historic postcards below:
Max Ehrenfreund. . ."I went looking for the uptick in murders in U.S. cities."
Crime is not a static thing and what Mr. Ehrenfreund at Wonkblog found might surprise you; here is an excerpt:
Crime appears to be on the rise in some cities, and that has cops and ordinary people concerned. Police chiefs from around the country met last month to talk about the situation. In Washington last week, there's concern about a spike in murders. The alarming headline "Murder Rates Rising Sharply in Many Cities" appeared on the front page of the New York Times [emphasis added] on Tuesday morning.What is happening in West Palm Beach of late is very big news and it should be. But that shouldn't skew the trends nationally; that is very good news you'll probably never read about.
Overall, though, things haven't changed much from the past several years, at least judging by the number of homicides committed in major cities. While the number of homicides has increased in many big cities, the increases are moderate, not more than they were a few years ago. Meanwhile, crime has declined in other cities.
Overall, most cities are still far safer than they were two decades ago, and virtually all of that improvement has remained. That's when the rate of violent crime began a long, steep decline nationally.

Town of Jupiter taps into biotech fund to help company grow algae
This very interesting article from Bill DiPaolo at the Post should make everyone happy—environmentalists, supporters of biotech, and the taxpayers. Here is an excerpt:
A $200,000 loan guarantee for a firm that produces algae was approved unanimously by the town council Thursday.[and. . .]
Avespa Holdings, LLC is moving into an office in the Jupiter Park of Commerce, south of Indiantown Road and just east of I-95. The algae is used for food for salmon and making Omega 3 for human consumption, said Chief Science Officer Philippe Bois.
The loan guarantee is from the town’s biotech fund, which was established in 2006 to attract science businesses to Jupiter. There is about $1 million in the fund, according to Jupiter records.
Avespa will “enhance wastewater treatment processes that may provide long term cost savings and environmental benefits for the community for years to come,” according to the proposal.

Bicycle shop owner in Lake Worth, FL with sage advice to prevent your bike from being stolen
Within this article by Kevin Thompson is sage advice for bicycle owners everywhere in the country: don't make it easy for bicycle thieves! Buy a decent lock to protect your bicycle:
[Mike] Ogonowski [owner of Relentless Bicycles on Lucerne Avenue], said riders need to invest more money in better locks to deter thieves. Too many bicyclists, he said, are opting to buy an $18 braided steel lock that can be easily clipped as opposed to a $36 chain lock that is harder to break.Makes sense to me. If you have a cheap lock and you know there is a bike theft problem in the City then. . . Read here how a former crack addict stole bicycles to feed his habit and he explains what YOU can do to prevent it. Prevention is the key.

Former Lake Worth Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill requests widening of road
Wayne Washington from the Eye on Palm Beach County blog has this news about former Lake Worth Green Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill, an excerpt:
Suzanne Mulvehill, former Lake Worth city commissioner and the president of sales for a nursery west of Delray Beach, is urging Palm Beach County to widen Atlantic Avenue between the Delray Marketplace and U.S. Highway 441.This is quite the change from when Mulvehill was a commissioner in Lake Worth. Remember when she was all about resiliency, sustainability, and saving the environment? When you become the 'president of sales' for a company trying to make a profit it puts a whole new perspective on things.
“The widening of this small section of roadway was in the 5 year budget in 2013 and years previously, but was taken out of the budget in 2014, when it is now needed the most,” Mulvehill wrote to County Mayor Shelley Vana. “It is clear that with the number of trips nearly doubling on Lyons Road and with the new housing developments being built and PUD’s being built west of Atlantic Avenue, that (there is) need for this small stretch of two-lane road be widened and put into the budget.” [emphasis added]

Michael is promises the plan will stick to its roots. “This is the most important to us. It's special to us; everything around it, the potential is enormous."
More about the homeless in Lake Worth: Katie McGiveron wows the crowd with latest charm school techniques
Charming Katie McGiveron tells the city commission on Tuesday 9/1 what she thinks about the homeless in the little City of Lake Worth. Note that in the high-fashion world of hair design she is displaying here what's called "Skunk-striped Hair".

I took Uber to the airport!
Everything involved in your Uber experience uses SmartPhone technology, from ordering your ride, to the pickup time and place, and paying for the service. That's right, no fumbling around for money any more. You even tip using your phone!
 |
| Here is part of the receipt you receive via email after your drop-off. |
Uber is a smartphone app that links you to a network of Uber drivers that use their private car to pick you up. It's considered part of the new, sharing economy. When you install the app on your phone you register the way you will be paying. There are many options. I used a debit card. When you get dropped off you get your luggage and go; you've already been charged for the ride and no need to fumble for cash or a credit/debit card.
On Tuesday I turned on the Uber app and it immediately presents a map that shows your current location. You touch on an arrow that shows where you want to be picked up and it tells you how many minutes away an Uber driver is. I learned from this driver that the app immediately connects you to the nearest available driver. In seven (7) minutes he was at my house in a nicely kept, late model Honda Accord. I put my bags in the trunk and we were on our way.
It turns out that this driver had been "active" for the past three hours. I asked him what caused him to start driving for Uber and he said that he had been released from a job where he made about $8.50/hr; with Uber he averages about $16.00/hr. On weekends he can make $150 to $200 in a full day. It is at his complete discretion when he activates as a driver and he can do it for as long or as short a time period he chooses.
My total fare to the airport was $10.25 which is less than half the fare a taxi would charge for the same service. The driver was a pleasant gentleman. In his experience dropping off people at the airport was easier than picking them up. Taxis still hold sway at the airport due to an agreement they have with the County; they don't appreciate the competition and they let the Uber drivers know it. He didn't show me but if you know what to look for there is hardware on a vehicle that gives it away as an Uber vehicle.
It looks like Uber is here to stay. If you have used the service or another similar one and want to share your experience, email me and I'll publish your comments here on this blog.

The transportation infrastructure and the tourism and agricultural industries he [Flagler] established remain, even today, the very foundation of Florida's economy [emphasis added], while the building of the Over-Sea Railroad remains the most ambitious engineering feat ever undertaken by a private citizen. When Henry Flagler began his work in Florida, it was perhaps the poorest state in the Union. Today, thanks in large part to Henry Flagler, Florida is the third largest state in the Union with an economy larger than 90% of the world's nations. Indeed, no individual has had a greater or more lasting impact on a state than Henry Flagler has had in Florida.If you would like to visit the museum here are the directions.

[UPDATE] Authorities need information on fatal shooting in suburban Lake Worth (and WPBF gets location wrong again)
Below is a comment left on the ABC25/WPBF website yesterday:
[This is the original blog post from 8/31:] Jacqueline Powell at NBC5/WPTV and a staff report from CBS12/WPTV report a fatal shooting in suburban Lake Worth.
If you have information contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.

Yes, it did occur: Mrs. McNamara did indeed use the word 'n----r' in our Lake Worth City Commission chambers on March 16th
There is revisionism occurring vis-à-vis another blogger in Lake Worth and her best friend's bad behavior in City Hall last March. The account below [which I published on this blog on April 14th] appeared in a now-defunct (always-FREE, delivered FREE, advertising-challenged) tabloid published by Margaret Menge (Vol. 1/Issue 12). Considering Menge's background in "community" news facts and calm analysis aren't high on her list of priorities. What's different here is she actually quotes Mr. McNamara recalling his wife (Mrs. McNamara) using that terribly insensitive word in public:
[Delores] Key walked up to Dee [McNamara], according to Laurence McNamara, and asked her to move, telling her the front row was reserved for the candidate's family.[and later. . .]
"She [Mrs. McNamara] pointed at her own skin and said, 'Are you calling me a n[----]r?' " Laurence remembers.So, there you have it. Confirmation from Mr. McNamara that the incident did indeed occur. Former Commissioner Retha Lowe had a few thoughts about this at a City Commission meeting following the incident on March 24th:
Dolores Key, who is white, took offense.
"She [Dolores Key] got all bent out of shape," said Laurence, and told Dee about seven times to apologize.

Why motorists misbehaving and out-of-date transportation standards are degrading our quality of life
Lake Ave in downtown Lake Worth, Lucerne Ave, Dixie Hwy, and those wide one-way roads where cars recklessly speed all day and all night. . .it's not just a nuisance, it's degrading our quality of life. Here is an excerpt from Jesse Bailey in his Walkable West Palm blog on how out-of-date, misapplied transportation standards are so damaging to our cities and towns:
The building blocks of our public realm – streets, squares, plazas, parks – depend upon civilized behavior by all participants in order for civilization to flourish. In this environment, cars need to move slowly, not just for safety of the people not in cars, but in order for community itself to be able to flourish. Imagine some of your favorite public spaces: A square in Savannah. Duval Street in Key West. Clematis Street in West Palm Beach. Central Park. What’s common about all these places? Cars are secondary to people – the dominant species in these environments are the people walking, talking, and playing – and cars are welcome too as long as they behave.Watch this video Jesse Bailey includes in his post:
The Gulfstream Hotel [and how ordinary functions of government get hijacked by just a few people]
First, here is the news from Kevin Thompson at the Post, an excerpt follows:
William Waters, director for community sustainability, said the plans will be reviewed by the Historic Resources Preservation Board in October. There will also be a public meeting, with notices being sent to residents who live within 400 feet of the hotel, Waters said.The line highlighted above is very misleading. I would suggest this is more accurate:
First reading of the plans should go before the commission in November.
Hudson Holdings and CDS International Holdings of Boca Raton bought the Gulfstream in May 2014. Some residents have grumbled it’s taken Hudson Holdings too long to start the project. The company also wants to develop the Lake Worth Casino.
But Michael said dealing with code issues, and the site’s historic status, takes time.
The company is also considering ways to fix the failing Casino complex.Now to one of the most viewed posts on my blog in recent years:
Grassroots movements do not organically spring up to support a project, but opposition groups driven by fear, self-interest and cynicism can take off like wildfire. The proliferation of digital tools like Facebook and Twitter give average people the ability to find like-minded project opponents and to build effective grassroots opposition movements. While project supporters certainly have access to these same tools, they are far less motivated to use them. The process is overwhelmingly dominated by opponents.The sobering words above were written by Patrick Fox in an op/ed titled, "Broken Planning: How Opponents Hijacked the Planning Process".
The point is this: there are a some residents in Lake Worth that are opposed to the Gulfstream Hotel re-opening and they will get very loud. They will attract the news media like moths to a flame. One of these people probably made this graphic:
Below is the official social media graphic for the City of Lake Worth:
Sitting idly by while a small group of malcontents try to scuttle this project isn't going to fly any more. If you support our magnificent hotel re-opening once again SHOW UP AT MEETINGS! Contact the elected and staff and tell them what you think.
