What's in a Name?

• Is it too late to <em>rename my taint</em> after GodFather? He sure likes to crawl up my ass, so why not give him home field advantage?

• Lest we forget: There are a lot of old-timers who departed Broward without getting picked up or prosecuted - and now are remembered with their name on something. How about the Bill Keith Nature Preserve? - Bob, you wrote about him many times. The Carole Andrews Leadership Academy? - if forgotten, a former School Board member and close associate of Ken Jenne.

• Tppic change from The Sun-Sentinel today... I KNEW! I KNEW! Federal prosecutors dropped a bombshell in court Wednesday, saying they believe the widow of the late multimillionaire Ben Novack Jr. was involved in the murder of his mother as well. Narcy Novack's elderly mother-in-law was found dead in her Fort Lauderdale home in April 2009, three months before her millionaire son was bludgeoned and stabbed to death in a New York state hotel room. Federal prosecutors said at a bond hearing in Fort Lauderdale federal court Wednesday morning that Narcy Novack's brother had recruited two men to kill her 87-year-old mother-in-law. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Narcy Novack abetted the killers by giving them information about her mother-in-law's car, the prosecutors said. Bernice Novack was bludgeoned to death with a monkey wrench. Last week, Narcy Novack, 53, was indicted by a New York federal grand jury on interstate domestic violence and stalking charges connected to the July 12, 2009, killing of her husband, who was bludgeoned and slashed in a Rye Brook, N.Y., hotel room. Though the charges fall short of murder, they still carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. Narcy Novack's brother along with two other men face the same charges in what the police chief of Rye Brook, a quiet, tony New York suburb, calls "an act of violence never before seen" in his town. Since her early morning arrest last Thursday, Narcy Novack has been held in federal custody without bond. She was to go before U.S. Magistrate Robin Rosenbaum in Fort Lauderdale Thursday to see if she could get some form of pre-trial release. Federal prosecutors say Narcy Novack helped coordinate the attack on her husband, allowing two men into the hotel room she shared with her husband of 19 years. The men proceeded to beat, cut and bind Ben Novack Jr., the prosecutors say. Narcy Novack gave her husband's attackers a pillow during the onslaught so it could be put over her husband's face, according to the federal indictment. Ben Novack Jr., heir to the Fontainebleu Hotel on Miami Beach, was in Rye Brook to coordinate an Amway convention. He operated Convention Concepts Unlimited, an event planning company that took in about $50 million a year.

• Gator says: Anon: ". . . made a secret deal . . . " Perhaps some of the details, but it was generally known that the developers wanted to tear down some of the buildings. They agreed to restore some in order to demolish others. In the end, the FtL city commission approved the deal in a public forum. The ironic aspect is that just across the tracks, the Himmarshee Village area, with its historic buildings, is hopping. Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 14 2010 @ 9:48AM @Gator The secret part was that in order to get financing, the maaster developer needed to get a letter from the city saying they could tear down the buildings. While Hanbury was saying in public the buildings would be restored (like Himarshee) he wrote a letter to Jack Abdo at bank atlantic saying he would allow the buildings to be torn down. The secret part was this letter was not part of his outgoing correspondence file and was hidden from the public and only came out later.

• new "meaningless" blog Jump for further waste of time.

• &#64; Jad Many historical interesting facts about Broward County yet we name parks after Illene Leiberman. A Chabad after Scott Rothstein. Huzeinga has his name all over, Morse family. Yes some people do great things for Broward but the mentality of placing their name over what they donate or accomplish is Ego, Arrogance, Self-importance and self, self, self.....me,me ,me. There are so many great names in Florida history. If we in Broward use old great names to name and establish parks and schools perhaps Ft, Lauderdale can begin to become a place of humbleness and not flash and cash. The Good Ol Boys Club have placed themselves above the history of Florida by naming themselves over the true pioneers of Ft. Lauderdale. I would suggest naming schools, streets after the names of 1800's humble people who founded Ft. Lauderdale not 2010 Self, Self Self people (Rothstein and lliberman, Etc)

• There are other interesting facts about the area. Old man Forman used explosives to start the canal system to finish off the glades as was known. After the fact, the U.S. Congress agreed with his action. I suppose that that would circumvent State action. Shortly after, Gore, of the old Fort Lauderdale News, had a little trouble maintaining his way of life. He could not pay taxes on a big chunk of property around the St. Rd. 7, St. Rd. 84, & the I-595 exchange. So, the land was ostensibly �given� to the State as a park. Many years later, the State gave the land back to �Colonel� Gore (he liked the title, but it was undeserved). The reason for the State to give the land back to Gore, after warehousing the land during the 50�s was that the State had not developed the land into a park. This was before the days when people actually thought that you had to put a man-made object on virgin land in order to call it something. Anyway, Gore got the land back, after escaping the payment of taxes and made a profit since the land value had escalated after the troubled years (when others lost their property for nonpayment of taxes).

• Answer: Cooley Withheld Evidence....... "In 1835, white settlers killed a Seminole chief named Alibama and burned his hut in a dispute. As Justice of Peace, Cooley jailed the settlers, but they were released after a hearing at the Monroe County Court in Key West; the justification was insufficient evidence. The Seminoles blamed Cooley, saying he withheld evidence. The growing uneasiness between the Seminoles and the whites led to the Seminole migration to the Lake Okeechobee area. [7] On 28 December 1835, a Seminole ambush known as the Dade Massacre started the Second Seminole War. [5]"

• Years ago, Pre-Broward county handled corruption much differently......what did Cooley do to the Seminoles to anger them??? "William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.[12] The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838,[13] and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.[14]" Wiki

• JenJen foot care and wine shop. Anyone hear how her 4th of July party went with the in-laws?

• &#64;Pulp - Come on Bob, you should expect nothing but corruption in Broward. After all, it named for probably one of the most corrupt Governors of Florida. Read The Swamp by Michael Grunwald. I just finished it and it points out that south Florida was built on nothing more than phoney engineering reports, inflated promises and out right lies of people trying to get rich quick. Broward tried to drain the entire Everglades by building the st lucie and the Caloosahatchee River canals. Why did he build it, for his rich florida land barron friends. How did tthey attract buyers, by advertising to people that S FL. has the best soil (true), the best winder weather and our summers were mild and bug free. So since Andrew Jackson drove the indians into the everglades we have had a long line of Browards, Ritters, Gallaghers, and Ruden McCloskys.

• Thank you Bob for your continuing reporting on all the obscene, corrupt, arrogant politicians in this cesspool we call Broward County. I agree with you. Why should anything be named after a greedy, corrupt politician? Reminds me of Iraq with the larger than life statues of Hussien all over the place. We have to see their names and faces plastered all over the place for all of their misdeeds. Surely there must be a bust or statue of Ilene somewhere in that park! Seems the bigger and more arrogant their egos the more you see their names. I ate many times at the restaurant on Griffin and US1 but I can't remember the name of it either. . I think they should name the aiport Ft. Lauderdale Lobbyist-Developer International. We can call ourselves a World Ass Destination.

• On Riverfront, if you read up about it, Naugle wanted to restore the Historic 1920s buildings and give it a sense of place, But now Nova President and then City Manager George Lafeyette Hanbury the third made a secret deal with the master developer to tear down the historic buildings and build the monster anywhere USA developement that became Las Olas Riverfront. Then Swerdlow took it over, flipped it to Boca Developers and they refused to renew leases or give out any long term leases as they wanted to tear everything down for a huge condo hotel project. They did no promotion and signed no long term leases so they could have the businesses fail so they could demo. I say Name Las Olas Riverfront after it's creator George Lafeyette Hanbury III, President of Nova U By the way, after Naugle got Hanbury to quit, Forman helped line him up the job at Nova.

• I was just going to join the game of naming attractions with the addition of prominent figures. I�ve written before that I was arrested at the insistence of Wayne Huizenga for interfering with his right to violate 2 general obligation bonds -- one of them being the public safety complex / new courthouse facility bond. Yeah. I know, I know. You�re probably asking �Where�s the beef?� or �Where�s the Courthouse?�, or something like that. Hey, this is Broward County. These b*st*rds can reap benefits by going after something 2, 3 or more times, before they finally have to spend the money for the project. Just take a look, a good look, at how much has been poured into that airport project over the years, and you�ll get my drift. (And, how about Jorge Mas Canosa -- that is, in a namesake middle school on SW144 St. in Miami, a youth center & a park on SW 114 Ave. in Sweetwater, and a riverside park on SW 7 Ave. in Miami.) Remember how the Herald exposed Jorge Mas Canosa�s group for striping the roadways, and the Herald figured that the paint used could circumvent the globe 2 � times. Well, it�s not just Dade County that accounts for its business dealings with a favored few with new math -- that�s the way it works here too. Of course, that�s not the way that the figures work for you, the average man or woman. For instance, let�s use that courthouse bond for which you are still making payments through your ad valorem tax bill. Part of the bond money built that parking garage (that�s the garage that Huizenga got to lease at a nominal fee, with the taxpayer carrying the load for maintenance, repair, utilities, etc., for his project that he constructed on that other adjoining parcel protected by a city bond for more open space & parks). Now, you would expect that since you pay taxes that you should be able to park next to the Courthouse for free, especially if you are called there, if you would like to fight that traffic citation or be a witness for a mugging victim. Well, that�s not the way that it works. So, maybe you thought that you would be able to park in the parking garage since your ad valorem taxes pay for that general obligation bond used for that parking garage. Ahhhh. Nope! In the past, anytime you parked there, you had to pay an hourly fee. Now, you can�t even try to park there because the fees are so high. You�d really be better off buying a unit in Huizenga�s development if you want to park in the county-owned, public parking garage leased in a sweetheart deal to Huizenga. So what�s a taxpayer to do in ye olde corrupted Broward County. Well, you can assume the position that you might have become accustomed to by now. Or, you can demand that the corruption stop, by pleading with the feds. (�Cause ya outta know by now, cuz, that the State just aint gonna do it.) Although it may be possible that some of these candidates that have never held office, and are not career politicians, and not beholden to the powers that be may take an interest and guarantee that something will be done. This is much better than the guarantee of those still in power, since they have been guaranteeing that things will change for at least a generation -- and nothing�s changed. What does anyone have to lose by asking an outsider for help? Anyway, I�ll get to the point. While looking for the correct date for a fact that I wanted to use, I found another article written by Bob Norman -- back in time, in October 15, 1998, titled �The Sheriff's Criminal Association�. This article has many of the players. Ben Kramer�s relation to his uncle, Meyer Lansky, is missing. And, the Forman clan & their bought-and-paid-for politicians and high-placed appointees (some have said to be E. Clay Shaw related) aren�t a part of the story. In addition, the law firms of Ruden Barnett McClosky Shuster & Smith, Conrad Scherer James & Jenne, Brinkley Morgan Solomon McNerny & Tatum, Gray et ux et al could not fit. But, and it�s a big but -- some of the most recent players are included. Check it out for yourself. The article can be found at http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/1998-10-15/news/the-sheriff-s-criminal-association/1

• &#64; JJ Washington, Steuben, Marshall, Custer, etc. Were you from Milwaukee, WI?

• I was put into a position as president of a PTA because of what I perceived to be a slight teacher revolt, through the acts of Ms. Walters and other teachers -- which is too long to discuss here, so I�ll not address that matter, but try to explain how William Dandy affected the children of the community. (See numbered paragraph 4 in Bob Norman's article, above.) During my stint as a PTA (actually PTO) president at Northside Elementary, the person in attendance at the school advisory board meetings was William Dandy. Although I did not have to attend these meetings, I did. They were held at Dillard High School during the time that Amos Bonner served. It was important that I go to these meetings because I needed to know why the school was being short changed. Northside had not had any assistance from the school board for some time. None of the clocks were synchronized. The students had to guess what time it really was, and never were sure when the late bell, lunch bell, or dismissal bell would ring. The paint was chipping everywhere. The building had settled, and some locations were dangerous if a student should not be watching where he or she was walking (because the concrete had cracked and there were raised surfaces and sunken-in areas, where students could trip and hurt themselves). I got no assistance from the meetings -- just the William Dandy runaround about getting around to the request someday. So, you can imagine my surprise when I found out while digging through school board records at the old headquarters in the Sailboat Bend area that the school had actually somehow received the moneys for the painting of the structure and the repair to the clocks. Where did this money go? Who received it? Where were the receipts and invoices for what was supposed to be delivered to the school and payment for repairs? You never saw such a run-around-and-around in your life. Nobody could give a straight answer. But, it was mostly William Dandy that had the biggest whoppers of stories to tell. So, maybe the William Dandy �I got mine� would fit nicely.

By the time the FEDS are done with Broward, anything connected to just about half of the elected politicians in this county will have to be renamed at some time.

• What I remember was that Lieberman got $500,000 donated to create the park. That is why they named it after her. If she hadn't done that, the park would not have been built. Also, I don't believe that Lieberman and Mayor Kaplan have ever been that close an ally. On the contrary, she never wanted him to be the Mayor and tried to get him to be defeated. He wouldn't do whatever she told him to do, and that is something we all know she does not tolerate.

• Here is one that does not belong on Pulp�s list of sites that were named too early. Henry E. Kinney In 1956, the editor of the Broward office of the Miami Herald, Henry E. Kinney. Construction began in 1958. The tunnel was opened as The New River Tunnel in 1960. Kinney died in 1985 and, in 1986, the Florida Legislature re-named the tunnel �The Henry E. Kinney Tunnel.� Nothing much on Kinney since he died except for ghost stories. (For years, every time I went through the tunnel I�d ask myself, �Who is Henry E. Kinney?� Inspired by Pulp, I did a little googling and came up with the above. It would be fun to have a look through the Herald�s morgue to verify this information and get a better idea of who Kinney was.)

• 1) It was once known as "The 17th Street Causeway Bridge." Then Congressman E Clay Shaw got some federal funds, had a new bridge built there and he named it after himself. 2) There is a tiny crappy footbridge on NE 6th Street next to a KMart at Oakland Park Boulevard named after former County Commissioner (and a candidate for Congress in '78) named after Commissioner Gerald F Thompson and his (first) wife, Diane Richards. Lots of junk is thrown into that canal but people still fish there and throw in crab traps. Was this done on purpose by people who really didn't like Thompson? Some of us are old goats and we remember when Fort Lauderdale was a simple burg with a small airport -- a bean field was at the end of the main runway (9L/27L) and there was a wonderful barbeque shack called, "The Pit." The Pit had no windows, just roll up screens and picnic tables indoors. That was in the early 1960s. Someday they will get around to naming the airport after someone. I wonder who will get that honor.
