Voters to decide Riverland annexation 0 Arena to house Volvo's Yachts expected to arrive March 27-28 By ARNOLD MARKOWITZ Waterfront News Writer "We're around... heading north to the warmth of the tropics. It's the first time I have seen the Horn on a bright sunny day... We were only one mile off shore. It was a fantastic sight the raw rock that's been scarred by thousands of years of howling winds and raging seas. There are no trees to be seen I guess it's too windy for them to grow." Ross Field, Team News Corp. navigator Never sailed around Cape Horn, have you? Too bad, but if you hang out at the Volvo Ocean Race's stopover in Miami, from March 27 to April 14, you're likely to run into Ross Field and many of the 96 other sailors who shared the experience with him on eight round-the-world racing yachts early in February. As Field's email implies, the sailing pro from New Zealand has rounded the Horn before three times in the Whitbread, as the Volvo race was formerly called from 1973-'98. Field's crews won two of those races. Cape Horn, marking the margin of the ferocious Southern Ocean, is one of sailing's great rites of passage. If you can't perform it yourself, the Volvo stopover will give it to you vicariously. For sailors whose dreams exceed the range of their boats and budgets, the chance to pick the brains of international pros could be priceless. In fact, it is priceless: admission to the race village cir- ON BOARD IN MARCH Classifieds Commentary Event Calendar 0 Galley Tide Tables Technical boating seminars putting women at the helm By BETH FEINSTEIN-BARTL Waterfront News Writer When Charlene Adair first heard about a boat diesel engine maintenance class being offered for women only, she couldn't believe her luck. "I was very excited," said Adair, a retiree who owns a 40-foot powerboat and lives with her husband on Hutchinson Island. "I'm the one who always does the engine room. I've been looking for a class for a long time to give me basic information on trouble shooting and normal maintenance." After taking beginner and advanced diesel engine class- es in January through the Women Aboard organization, Adair can change oil, filters and cooling water. "I got a tremendous amount of information," she said. "There are a lot of things I can do now that I wouldn't have attempted before. I can do normal 100-hour servicing tasks. I feel a little more self sufficient." Knowing how to be in control on the water is some- thing that all female boaters should possess, say those involved with marine-related women's groups. Having women-only classes is a way to boost self-con- fidence and knowledge in a fun, safe, nurturing atmosphere, they said. In South Florida, there are many opportunities to take single-sex seminars. "There's a large diversity of classes out there and it's a testimonial to the diversity of women," said Maria Russell, founder of Women Aboard. "We really are lucky. There are a lot of opportunities here, more so than other places." Russell's organization, which is dedicated to enhancing the boating experience for women, offers coed and women- only boat diesel engine maintenance, powerboating and fishing classes in Fort Lauderdale. Upcoming sessions to be held on vessels will include a powerboating class on March 3 and a fishing seminar on May 11, Russell said. "I think it's important that classes for women be offered because they are less intimidating," she said. "It's a known fact that men and women learn differently." Sheroy Ouellette, owner of the Diesel Doctor, a mobile marine repair maintenance facility based in Fort Lauderdale, agrees that women learn better in a single gen- der environment. Ouellette has been in the industry for 19 years. She began giving classes for women last year in boat diesel engine maintenance. "In the past, women felt left out," she said. "But they want to learn these things." There is still the attitude that women are viewed as accessories. "But we're coming out of accessory mode," Ouellette said. "We're being pulled out of the glove box and put into the engine room." Ouellette's classes are so popular that up to 500 stu- dents have shown up for a one-day session. Her courses give Graduates from Women Aboard, an organization that teaches diesel engine maintenance to women. participants the basics on everything from minor repairs to major overhauls. Ouellette's classes have been sponsored by Women Aboard, the Seven Seas Cruising Association and at West Marine in Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach. Her seminars started out geared for women only, but expanded to include men after they began making requests to attend. Ouellette's next class will be a three-day course spon- M1'117/'2lIWl Issues ~ I_ Defining who is a longshoreman 0 first Miami stopover cling the American Airlines Arena will be free. "The crews will be very much available," said Lily Abello, a professional event organizer and executive direc- tor of Ocean Race Miami. "We'll have guided tours down to the dock areas. Crew members will be there to walk people through the area and talk about each boat a little bit." Volvo, which sponsored the race village at Port Everglades in 1998, took over the quadrennial race when British leisure industry conglomerate Whitbread plc cut ties to sporting event sponsorship. In the renamed 2001-02 race, there are eight boats, all 64-footers built to an identical design. Seven boats have 12- man crews. One, the Amer Sports Too, has an all-female crew of 13. They started the race last Sept. 23 at Southahmpton, UK, and are scheduled to end it on June 9 at Kiel, Germany. Total distance: 32,700 nautical miles, equal to 37,657 land miles. "We have 3,000 school children signed up for tours from both Dade and Broward counties, from April 8-12," Abello said. "Those tours will be in the morning. We'll open to the public at noon." Seminars and group tours will take visitors close to the 64- foot racing sloops. There will be sponsors' exhibits and tie-in events as logical as regattas and as curious as pro basketball. The event schedule lists seven Miami Heat home games in bold type. Why? Well, the Heat donated the use of the arena grounds and facilities, alongside a deepwater ship slip where the yachts will tie up. It's a mega-favor that host com- mittee chairman James McDonald got from Jay Cross, the Heat executive who supervised the arena's construction. The site is right across the Intracoastal Waterway from the Port of Miami, with its huge cruise and cargo operations.

They now live in unincorporated Broward County. The vote that will change their residency takes place March 12. As part of their decision, many residents will consider which city will provide them with the best maintenance of the area's waterways. "The waterfront has a profound impact on all the homes in Riverland" said Randy Dunlap, a resident. The area sits south of Davie Boulevard, east of State Road 7, west of Interstate-95 and north of the New River. It has about 5,500 residents and 2,000 residences. Of those properties, 750 are waterfront homes, he said. Proponents to joining Fort Lauderdale say the city is well-equipped to maintain waterways and offer protection through its own marine patrol law enforcement unit. But those favoring Dania Beach say that the city's small- er hometown feel will make it more accessible to residents. Dania Beach also has experience maintaining canals.

The sheriff's office, say Dania Beach proponents, has its own marine patrol too. "Dania Beach is a waterfront community," said Emie Long, president of Chula Vista Homeowners Association, another section of Riverland. "I'm impressed with the way they maintain their waterways and canals." Long, a waterfront homeowner, also noted that Fort Lauderdale has a law where private docks cannot be rented to boaters. Long presently keeps his boat at rented, private dock space in Lauderdale Isles. "If we incorporate to Fort Lauderdale, I won't break the law," he said. "I would have to find another spot for my boat." Dunlap, who owns a waterfront home in the Lauderdale Boat HR & Paint epainng ,inn Isles section of Riverland, is among those who favors incor- porating into Fort Lauderdale. So is Joan Sheridan, who sits on the Lauderdale Isles Civic Improvement Association's board of trustees. Fort Lauderdale has a set program of maintaining canals that would suit the area, Sheridan said. "They have a criteria where they dredge their canals to a certain depth and maintain them," Sheridan said. "It's very important to us to maintain our canals because that directly affects our property values and our quality of life." The Lauderdale Isles Civic Improvement Association represents 700 homes. Most are waterfront, she said. "The big issue in our community is the quality of our water," Sheridan said. "We have a water management district that was set up in 1970, with taxes going to the management of our canals." Their district has 10 canals and 13 lanes. Lauderdale Isles contracts with the county for maintenance, she said. Prior to the district being formed, vegetation had clogged the canals so badly that it killed fish and boats could not get out. The special taxing district has since alleviated those problems. Spraying is now done on a regular basis, she said. "We would like to keep the special taxing district," Sheridan said. "We feel we are able to control the maintenance." As for law enforcement on the water, some people in the Riverland area do feel strongly about Dania Beach, mostly to keep the Broward Sheriff's Office as their police agency, Sheridan said.

Or, to put it another way, why haul your boat out to paint the bottom without plug- ging leaks below the waterline? That's the point of a water quilii study bN the Miami River Commission's stormwater subcominittee, which on Feb. 4 reported 33 recommendations that will cost an esti- mated $18,365,600. But the variety of government agencies "that would carry out the work don't have enough money) in thelr Olur' rent budgets, so most improvements \wjjl lhae to wait. One exception is Wagner Creek, an environmentally notorious tributary of the river. Two sediment dredging projects, estimated to cost $782,000, are scheduled to strit this year by the city of Miami. The first job \~us expected to be put out for bid at the beginning of Match. "Almost 85 percent of the $18.3 million is proposed for stormwater new treatment infrastructure and strategic maintenance:' says David Miller, the commission's man- aging director. "The system's been in poor condition for years, but not much money has been put into improvement and some of the money's been deferred to other projects. "Stormwater runoff is one of those things that nobody complains about until it's a problem. It's easy for people to defer it, as long as the system's working." It isn't working very well, according to the stormwa- ter subcommittee, headed by Miami environmental engi- neer Arsenio Milian.

Wagner's navigable lower end is.called Seybold Canal. 'As waterways go, Wagner is scarcely more than a gut- ter, partly natural and partly artificial where it is chan- neled through Miami's hospital district.

Wagner's contamination is even more impressive in light of the available data. While concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and phos- phate phosphrous have declined fairly steadily year by year since the early 1990s, total coliform bacteria density has increased after a decline that lasted from 1994-98. Coliform bacteria comes from septic tanks and toilets. David Miller guesses the layer of goo is two or three feet deep on average. Jackson, the city public works director, says it could be six to 10 feet in places. If you want to say, "that's disgusting," go ahead. No one will argue except Wagner's manatees, who find edible algae in the creek. Jackson said the city will spend about $3 million, roughly half of it a grant from the South Florida Water Management District, to dredge the crud from Wagner and line some banks with cement to prevent contaminated soil from dribbling in. How does this suit the creek bank population? Pretty well, if lawyer-yachtsman Michael Catalano is a good example. The creek trickles past the back yard of his office in a converted house on Northwest 13th Court. When the water's up, he can estimate the tidal stage in Biscayne Bay. He used to see manatees there. Once a huge turtle waddled across his parking lot. Not in a long time, though. Catalano says he's never smelled sewage there, but a big rain is a big problem, for the shallow creek can't hold the water. "Remember when we had that big flood a year and a half ago? Our building's like a summer cottage, onblocks. The water came up within an inch of destroying it. I was watching water flowing around both sides of my building at about four knots, rising higher and higher. "I took antibiotics for cholera, dysentery...yeah, I lived," he said. I've never smelled sewage here, but it's dirty and there's junk floating and it needs to be cleaned up. If they clean it up and make it deeper, to me that's a worthwhile use of government money."

HAWKINS Waterfront News Writer Joan Sheridan jokes that nothing would make her hap- pier than working herself out of a job. For the past 17 years, Sheridan has been a key player in the Marine Industries Association of South Florida's annu- al Waterway Cleanup, where she coordinates the sites involved in ridding Broward's waterways of debris. "I am so happy about where we are today with much- improved water quality along the many, many miles of waterwxay. thiououur Biolwaid Conlt\." said_-Sheridan, who credits the MIASF strong backing over the past 25 years with making the event so popular. The cleanup's silver anniversary will, be celebrated on March 2 as an army.of volunteers, boats and, other sup- port efforts again monitor canals where tons of trash will be collected. Sheridan. 60, is credited with helping to pull strings and garner business, education and community support. Marilyn Mammano serves as general chairman of the event. "I think we have been able to measure our success by seeing how much harder it is today to actually find garbage and trash in the waterways," Sheridan said. While there's always a sizeable amount of trash col- lected, volunteers are not seeing what they did years ago. "We pulled up refrigerators, motorcycles, sofas and unbelievable amounts of large refuse," Sheridan said. "I was just so sad in those days seeing how people abused the natural waterways-and destroyed the quality of the rivers and the life in them." Last year's event included more than 3,000 volunteers, hundreds of donated boats and more than 50 tons of trash collected at 28 sites. This year is expected to match that, with 30 sites involved in the daylong event. Sheridan began a crusade in water quality in 1970 when she and her Lauderdale Isle neighbors in unincorpo- rated Broward were shocked at the vegetation that was strangling the life out of their waterways, leading to a mas- sive fish kill. The neighborhood created a special taxing district to generate funds to remove the excess vegetation, allowing *Ufle boaters to navigate their canals. That effort continues today by special spraying of the canals. Sheridan's interest in water issues prompted her to become involved with the MIASF Waterway Cleanup in 1985, when there were only about 13 sites and a few hun- dred volunteers armed with plastic bags. Today, the number of sites and volunteers has almost tripled, while big Dumpsters can be found at collection sites. "I can't believe the difference these years have made and it's been an educational goal of all of us to involve schools and community groups, so there is awareness of the water quality issue all year round," said Sheridan. As a thank you to volunteers, custom cleanup T-shirts designed each year by local students are handed out as are special flags for volunteer boats. Shendan also has made the program a certifiable community service project. YACUI- AVES A l*vrrrS iCCLFtCITLIN! sliDOW PARK AND MARINA It i' l [{)'t[Af * BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS - 3000 ft.

"longshoremen" and "stevedores" conjure up an image of tough men strong in will and body, who move heavy cargo back and forth from commercial ships to dockyards as they keep the nation's commerce stream going ever forward. While this description fits many long- shoremen, the title legally applies to a sur- prisingly varied group of workers in the marine industry. This complicated definition of long- shoremen can be traced to the end of the 1800s when some states started initiating their own workers' compensation schemes. The original idea behind workers' comp was to allov a laborer a "no fault" remedy for on the job injuries without the need for filing suit and going to court to collect for those injuries. At that time courts were even less sympathetic in granting awards for worker injuries than they are now. It was decided by the courts in the early 20th century that traditional longshoremen were not entitled to take part in these state developed workers' comp programs, since their jobs were maritime in nature, and therefore of national concern instead of falling under the jurisdiction of any specific state. This left longshoremen with the courts as their only source for seeking compensa- tion for a work related injury. The U.S. Congress tried several times - to modify statutes to allow longshoremen to use state worker compensation remedies, but the Supreme Court kept sending such attempts back to the legislature because they saw the process as lacking the nation- al uniformity required under maritime law. Finally in 1927, the U.S. Congress passed the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), which gave such workers certain consistent remedies for their job related injuries. This time, the Supreme Court said that the leg- islation met the constitutional standards for maritime uniformity. Since that time, the Longshoremen's- Act has become a source of much confu- sion among employers, employees, insur- ers, and even among members of the legal community. The primary concern through the years has focused on who is and isn't cov- ered under this act. This has become an important distinction, because if an employer fails to provide the proper cover- age for an employee, the employer can not only be sued but may also incur severe penalties, including payment of all attor- neys' fees. Now, who is covered under the act begins simply enough. It states that an "employee" for purposes of the act is: "...any person engaged in maritime employ- ment, including any longshoreman or other person engaged in longshoring operations, and any harbor worker including a ship repairman, shipbuilder, and shipbreaker..." The act then describes a rather long and complex list of people who are not covered, including the master and crew of any vessel, certain clerical and security workers, and certain types of vendors and suppliers. It should also be noted that Congress has not made the "who is covered" list any easier by adding, over the years, certain civilian employees on military bases and some workers in the District of Columbia as people who receive benefits under the act. Needless to say, because the initial description of a covered employee under the Longshoremen's Act is so inclusive, the exclusion list has become very important, and has often become a matter of much interpretation and consternation. - 13-1-1-116: [MIM;1'1;I V ia M- - Work ethic in th, marine commun By RICK ROUGHEN Waterfront News Columnist An interesting phenomenon is taking place in the mega-yacht service and repairs industry in Broward County. The anomaly hal been fueled primarily by the expanding infrastructure of local service providers and experts who offer capabilities beyond what the typical shipyard facility can provide. It has been strengthened by the willing- ness of some yards that recognize the trend and have sought to establish their position in the niche by creating or rearranging their facilities to accommodate.the new M.O. And I suspect that it will be confirmed in the years to come as traditional operational philoso- phies begrudgingly give way to the new. So what is this mysterious phenomenon, and how has it come to be? Quite simply, it's the little guys the service providers and aspiring individuals who have carved out a level of expertise and a niche in the midst of an explosive shipyard industry. These are people who have worked in shipyards, want more than a typical 7:30 to 4 p.m. routine to occupy their lives and have decided to go out on their own. They are visionaries whose work ethic has driven them to believe they can raise the standard and create a product that the industry will recognize, desire and buy. As the marine industry continues to grow and Fort Lauderdale basks in the glory of its titltas-"yaichtii'n'g pital of the woldd" it is clear that some'of the big shipyards are being humbled into retreat from their previ- ous positions toward subcontractors. It is true that all the requirements for entry into a yard have to be met, but that notwithstanding, it is also true that many subcontractors have gained respect from vessel owners and captains. Credence is given to their subcontractor's advice on a choice of yards that are willing to work with them. So the pendulum is swinging, but this time more rapidly in favor of the subcon- tractor environment. Don't get me wrong: shipyards will always have the final say since they provide the conduit through which all others gain access to a vessel. But as others recognize a competitive advantage to spreading some of the wealth and creating a more palatable environment for their customers, long-term change will be inevitable. Captains would prefer to have a choice when determining who will perform ser- vices to their vessel. Traditionally, once the vessel had been hauled in a shipyard, all in- house services would necessarily be uti- lized to the exclusion of outsiders (subs). The prevailing labor rate would apply in standard form and the machine would turn out a product that fit its own schedule and met its own standard of "yacht quality." That wasn't always a bad thing. But over the years, complacency may have allowed a dangerous comfort zone to creep into the mix. The reasoning is that repair yards were in such extreme demand that it was not necessary to dot all the "i's," cross the "t's," or go the extra mile to service a customer in order to be profitable. In fact, repair yards were in such demand that some folks got downright arro- gant about it, and I believe that's what pro- vided the catalyst for the shift in industry. Many employees saw what was going on and felt they could do a better job. They left their positions and struggled to fight their way into the market. Some failed, but many prospered, and hence the expanding infrastructure in South Florida blossomed. Fort Lauderdale would not be lavished with the "yachting capital of the world" title, Mn':lg] ,!14 gUl[E I * Only Premium Quality Diesel, Gasoline & Lubricants Printed Meter Receipt DEEP DISCOUNTS EVERY DAY! aiEl Factory Authorized Vacuflush Sales Service Parts VACUFLUISH toilets make any boat feel more like home I IIA SW 2rd St. Ft.

O O Residents charmed by Lighthouse Point's friendly town feel This is one in a series of special features looking at neighborhoods that line Broward County's waterways. This month's feature examines Lighthouse Point. By WILLIAM R. HAWKINS Waterfront News Writer LIGHTHOUSE POINT --In a community where most people reside on or near water, Shelly Watkins is happy whenever she can get on land. Watkins and her family live aboard their 65-foot trawler docked at the Lighthouse Point Marina in Lighthouse Point. "I knew as soon as we came to Lighthouse Point that this is where we wanted to be," she said, noting the charm of the redeveloped marina, which offers almost a New England fishing village atmosphere except for a backdrop of brightly multi-colored townhouses. Lighthouse Point is located south of Deerfield Beach and north of Pompano Beach. It is bordered by Federal Highway to the west, the Intracoastal to the east, Northeast 24th Street to the south, with Northeast 36th Street its north- ernmost point. Watkins loves to play tennis at McDonough Park, locat- ed in the middle of the city between Northeast 27th and 28th avenues, where local families enjoy community activities. The park is only a few streets away from the Intracoastal and isles lined with backyard boats. On any given day, streams of walkers, bikers and cars head to the park. "I think that our community is a lot like the mythical TV town of 'Mayberry RFD,'" said Faith Pittilla. manager of the pro shop and activities coordinator at the Lighthouse Point Tennis Center in McDonough Park. "The people here are honest, trusting, friendly and there really is a sense of neighborhood." Every day tennis players ranging from kids to adults crowd the courts in what is a social meeting place. "I really like living here and seeing how many people walk, ride bikes and whatever to come to the.park," said Pittilla. For Watkins and her daughter, Courtney, 4, going to the park is a real treat because it puts land beneath them. She was married on a boat and lived on one in Chicago before heading to Florida last June with husband, Robert, captain- Photo/WILLIAM HAWKINS Shelly Watkins looked at west Florida and other southeastern Florida cities before she and her family decided to dock their 65-foot trawler at the Lighthouse Point Marina in Lighthouse Point. ing the vessel. They searched Florida's west coat and several water- front areas:on the east before deciding on Lighthouse Point. "The people here are so friendly and there are a number of them living on their boats, although most in the marina are there for weekend recreational excursions," she said. "I just felt right at home the minute we visited here and now that I am a resident, I love it even more." From the brightly polished brass to the rich teakwood throughout several rooms, Watkins' vessel offers the family a different lifestyle from other waterfront homeowners. "The only thing I miss is that we're limited in how many people the boat can hold," she said. "I love to entertain and that limits the number we can invite at any one time." re~~rp~~a~~4 I---b9 l-p Serving Lauderdale, Pompano & Lighthouse Point since 1985, owners Brian & Debbie perform all work at outstanding levels.

The city's 10,500 population is gradually shifting away from seniors, who once settled in the commu- nity as a retirement retreat, to younger families. "We've seen our parish grow in younger families:' said the Rev. Frederick Brice, pastor of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, which is located adjacent to McDonough Park. He recalls that originally the park was part of the church grounds, but five acres were sold to the city when the church decided it didn't need the land for a school. "This is a very lovely, self-contained community," Brice said, noting a "nice mixture" of young and older res- idents, some of whom are in their 90s. St. Paul's oldest member is 103. "Unfortunately, many of our original members have passed away and many of those smaller homes where they lived have been demolished to make way for the larger, expensive ones that are changing thelook of some streets" John Trudel, the city's recreation director, said it is the close-knit, small town atmosphere that "makes us the best kept secret in Broward County." With the water as a draw, Lighthouse Point is considered an upscale community with big million dollar-plus homes going up on waterfront parcels. But there are still smaller properties on side streets in an affordable range for families. Sandwiched between Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale, Lighthouse Point residents are offered city life, while com- ing home to quiet neighborhoods. Last month the city hosted its second annual Lightkeeper's Day with an old-fashioned parade, games and special events. Earlier this year, open houses at the fire and police station included free hot dogs and drinks and a chance to meet face-to-face with police and firefighters. "We've become almost like a little sanctuary that we all guard and don't want to see change much:' said Trudel, a res- ident since 1959 and the city's recreation director since 1974.

Worse, they were not even considering Florida for a stopover. McDonald set out to persuade Volvo to look at Miami. He knew he needed a good location, but was not sure where. "I was looking at different parks when all of a sudden - aha!" he said. "We got the arena and we can use their facilities. What a perfect venue. It's an ideal location, an absolute jewel." The grounds behind the arena now are nothing but a bulk- headed expanse of hard-packed sand with the portable office of Ocean Race Miami, the non-profit organizer McDonald set up. Wallowing past it at the required idle speed on the ICW, Up close Volvo's Miami Ocean Race village will be located on the east side of Biscayne Boulevard between Bayside and Bicentennial Park in Miami. The nearest expressway access is from 1-95 via the 836/1-395 connector. Port- bound traffic (many cargo containers on trucks) uses that, so motorists may also want to consider exiting I-95 from the 112/1-195 connector at northeast 36th Street, and dri- ving south on Biscayne Boulevard from there, or taking the milmormalac"Im~li a you'd hardly imagine the transformation coming. Abello said boaters are welcome to greet the Volvo rac- ers as they arrive at the Miami sea buoy off Government Cut. Arrivals are anticipated on March 27-28. By then, tim- ing will be easier to predict. The race itself and every ves- sel in it can be tracked in copious detail by photos, videos, audio and emails from the website http://www.volvoocean- race.org/homepage.html Want to participate? Abello said local sailing clubs are supplying volunteers, but the host organization still needs help running the race village. Look for details on the local website http://www.volvooceanrace.org/port/miami/ or call Rob DeSantis, the coordinator of volunteers, in Miami at 786-777-1530. Technical sailing knowledge is a plus, but not required.

From Miami Beach, the Julia Tuttle and MacArthur causeways both have Biscayne Boulevard exits. There's some parking in the arena building but it may not be available when the Heat plays. There are private parking lots on the west (southbound) side of Biscayne.. Bayside Marketplace, just south of the arena, has a parking garage too.

It is presently applied to specific,cases or situations. Determining the proper mix in shipyards were it-not for tle incredible wealth of expertise and quality craftsmanship that abounds outside traditional shipyard life. The yards themselves would be strangled in their ability to ser- vice customers whose vessels have reached a level of sophisti- cation that could rival the space shuttle in many cases. The shear number of vessels could never be handled exclusively by the mom and pop shipyards that respectfully got the ball rolling in Fort Lauderdale from the start. And, as an old gentleman whom I grew to respect dearly in this industry once said, "how many steaks can you put into your mouth at one time anyway?" The proper mix for subcontractor involvement in local shipyard operations is making its case in a big way. Some yards have made incredible advancements in achieving the ideal scenario.' ' Some have scoffed at the thought of giving up any con- trol. But one thing is for.sure: the number of vessels is grow- ing rapidly, with over 11.4 miles of new construction under way (according to the 2002 Showboats Magazine Order Book) boats are getting bigger and many, many more are headed this way in the very near future. If we properly utilize our local subcontractor infrastruc- ture to establish a world-class "yacht quality" standard unsurpassed throughout the globe, then I would suspect that Fort Lauderdale's mega-yacht service and repair industry will have a very bright future indeed.

"I personally have had wonderful help from BSO. However, I do not feel that Fort Lauderdale wouldn't do as good a job." Other issues surrounding the incorporation vote are where tax monies will be spent. Lauderdale Isles is in one of three voting districts that comprise Riverland. "Our district is trying to emphasize the issues that we have in common with the other two districts," said Gary Starkweather, a Lauderdale Isles homeowner. The biggest is that if Riverland residents vote into Fort Lauderdale, they will be a more recognized part of the city, with tax money being spent closer to home on improvements to Davie Boulevard, he said. Dania Beach has already stated that its emphasis is to improve their downtown district, which would have no positive impact on us; he said. "If we were to go into Dania Beach, we would be a northern appendage, separated by the North New River," Starkweather said. Michael A. Natale, past president of the Chula Vista Isles Homeowners Association, said he was unimpressed by a pitch Dania Beach officials made at an association meeting two months ago. "I was very pro-Dania Beach because of their small town mentality, but they dropped the ball on pursuing the region," Natale said. "Basically, they said we will answer the phone 'if you call. So availability and accessibility seem to be their big thing. They didn't say anything about solving or helping with problems." Chula Vista has about 340 homes, of which 15 percent are on the water, said. Natale, Who lives on the waterfront. "We have a fair number of boats that come into these canals and we also get manatees that come in here," he said "The waterfront is important to us." Chula Vista has six canals. Fort Lauderdale has responsibility for three canals. Dania Beach is responsible for the other three, Natale said. "If there's a downed tree in one of three canals that is in itsjurisdiction, the county is pretty responsive," he said. "But they don't do anything else in Chula Vista." But Natale believes if Fort Lauderdale were asked, they would do a better job. "If we were to become incor- porated, they would step up and restore the natural beauty of the canals," he said. The downside of incorporating into Fort Lauderdale would be losing the sheriff's office, Natale said. There are people who are very happy with BSO," he said. "My priority for the area is police protection. We would like the same level of service that we currently receive from BSO." Long likes the idea of sticking with. the sheriff's office. He also likes that Riverland would become about 24 percent of Dania Beach's voting public, as opposed to only four percent in Fort Lauderdale. Although he has swung his support toward Dania Beach, Long said that.he is trying to stay as neutral as pos- sible. "I presented both sides to my homeowners associa- tion," Long said. He believes there will be a good turnout come elec- tion day. "I think it will surprise people,'" he said. i9 Years of Quality Equipment & Service TECHNICOLD Refrigeration Systems Air Conditioning Systems, Service qCenter & Showroom 201 SW 7th Avenue..

A location in Fort Lauderdale will be announced. A basic engine repair class will take place the first day at a cost of $150. The final two days will be on advanced repair for $300 including breakfast and lunch. The course will be coed. But many women prefer the female- only classes. "The overriding opinion is that men would hinder them," Ouellette said. "I tell the women not to be intimidated. To stand in the back of the class, you won't learn anything." Diane Hallaran. of Pompano Beach. thinks that women gain more by being around their own. "They feel more conformable," said Hallaran, who is a volunteer on the organiz- ing committee for Ladies Let's Go Fishing. "Most of the guys who fish don't have the patience or they want to do it for you." she said. "You go to these seminars because you want to learn how to do it yourself and be independent." Hallaran took a female-only seminar from Ladies Let's Go Fishing five years ago. Since then. she has helped the group set up events around the state. "I fish. but my husband doesn't," Hallaran said. "I went to take the Ladies Let's Go Fishing class to know how. to use' the equipment. I learned the difference between off-shore and in-shore fishing and how to bait a hook. I'learned a lo." - Today, Hallaran goes out-on the party boats by herself. "A few times I've outfished the guys," she said. She's also met a lot of new friends' through Ladies Let's Go Fishing and they frequently get together for fishing'trips. SLisa Steinberg, an administrator with Ladies Let's Go Fishing. said i hen'the Focn' Lauderdale-based group formed'six- years ago, organizers:' eie expecting'maybe 50' participants for their first seminar. They got 100, she said. The organization provides hands-on seminars for women several times a year throughout the state and will be expanding to Hawaii, with a seminar to be held in August. The next ladies fishing seminar will be March 8 -10, at the International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame and Museum in Dania Beach. The cost is $105. Fishing trips will cost extra, from $12 to $130 depending on the outing. The event will feature talks by experts on such topics as bottom, off-shore, in-shore and fly fishing. There will be hands-on prac- tice sessions including trailer backing, knot tying and spin and fly casting. "We hear that either women have the money, but don't know how to get started and need someone to break down the barri- er that keeps them from buying boats and tackle:' Steinberg said. "Or, we hear from women who find it difficult to learn from their boyfriends or husbands. A lot of women are intimidated to ask questions or make mistakes with men in the room. Hence our nickname 'The No Yelling School of Fishing.' The seminars offer instruction from beginner to advanced, but most of the stu- dents are novices. Steinberg said. "We've had women tell us that we've changed their lives," she said. "We've Opened the door to a whole new realm that they've never experienced." S While Ladies Let's Go Fishing is taking its participants to new heights, South Florida Women Divers is taking theirs to new depihs. SThe group meets 7 to 9 p.m. the first Wednesday of each month at Pioneer Park in.Deerfield Beach. Each month, there are different speakers, safety. tips and an exchange of information. The organization also -sponsors dive, tiips, both local and aboard,.as well as. camping,'kayaking, snorkeling and water Up close Many organizations offer female-only seminars on boating and water sports.

"There's always two or three things going on all the time," said Susan Schulz, publicity director for South Florida Women Divers. The organization is 10 years old and has around 100 members who range in age from 16 to 80, she said. "Because of our group, there are more women diving and we encourage them to go to the next level of certification," Schulz said. "The industry recognizes us." Russell's Women Aboard website acknowledges South Florida Women Divers, Ladies Let's Go Fishing and other groups. "I think it's important we support each other," said Russell, who is a member of South Florida Women Divers and has par- ticipated in events sponsored by Ladies Let's Go Fishing. Russell has also signed up for Suddenly Alone, an upcoming seminar that teaches participants what to do if the skipper becomes incapacitated or falls overboard. Although the seminar is coed, it attracts a lot of interest from women, said Karyn James, who is servings a local contact per- son for the event with her husband Steve. Suddenly Alone will be held 8 a.m. to 5 p.m: on March 2 at the Radisson Bahia Mar Resort in Fort Lauderdale. Sponsors are the, Cruising Club of America, an 80-year-old organization, ..and the Bonnell Cove Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports safety at sea and'maritime ecologi- cal issues.

Topics will be Stabilizing the Situation (getting control of the boat), Man Overboard Search and Rescue, Customizing MOB Equipment to Your Boat, Making Proper Mayday Call and Answering Coast Guard Questions and Getting the Boat Back to Safe Harbor. This is the second time that the Suddenly Alone seminar has been offered. Its debut at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut in April drew a sold out crowd of some 300 people, James said. "We have friends who sailed around the world twice, attended the seminar at Mystic Seaport and they learned about things they have never thought of," she said. The seminar does not teach people how to be a boater. "We're teaching them how to take control of the boat," James said. "The man overboard issue; it's like writing your will. It's something you don't want to think about, but it's something you have to do." Wall, who works as a yacht outfitter at West Marine in Fort Lauderdale, sailed around the world from 1985 to 1991 with her husband and two children in a 39-foot sloop. Wall never encountered a man over- board situation. Bit she has heard stories of people who have. "I hope women-gain the knowledge.that if anything did happen, they would have a plan of action," she ..said. "What this pro- gram does is give you aniinsurance policy. It gives you a method of gaining and keeping control of the vessel that you have suddenly become alone on. It gives you an outline of what to do."

Who was the earliest underwater explorer? vIWhy. n ore. O laamnrdl h with a rra.qh of. a Lhm- vwny are voessei i aunceiU witII a c rasn ,,ai. vi- pagne bottle? The answers to these and a myriad of other vintage maritime questions reside inside Philadelphia's Independence Seaport Museum. Overlooking the city's revitalized waterfront at his- toric Penns Landing, the 100,000-square foot museum focuses on the late 19th and early 20th century urban industrial maritime history of the Delaware River, Delaware Bay and their tributaries. Visitors find historic ship tours, a working ship, edu- cational programs, a world-class maritime library and, a series of changing maritime exhibition galleries that reflect dynamic computer and video technology. The "Boats Float" exhibit incorporates hands-on interactive-displays and a slew of maritime artifacts and objects, engaging visitors in the art and science of boat design and building. It's possible to navigate sailboats in an "air pond" with wind whooshing from huge fans, or view classic tools and measuring instruments. Craftsmen who bend and shape planks of wood to build ships of distinctive shapes are available for conversation. At "Divers of the Deep," visitors pass through huge coral reefs and a 430-gallon aquarium where brilliant marine life resides. Here you'll learn that the earliest under- water explorer was Alexander the Great in 430 BC, investi- gate offshore oil drilling do probe underwater archeology. The exhibition reviews the invention of the diving helmet and suits to early SCUBA gear, analyzes the explosive growth of the sport of skin-diving with an intriguing salute to diving icon Jacques Cousteau. In "Home Port Philadelphia," you can climb into the grey, wooden bunks in steerage that were inhabited by weary immigrants arriving a century ago. Try your skill at unloading cargo from container ships with miniature cranes or welding and riveting a ship's "Workshop on the Water" is one of the exhibits at the Philadelphia Independent Seaport Museum. hull. Along the Penn Landings docks, the 1892 cruiser Olympia, America's oldest steel warship, and World War II submarine Becunia, kick off the first phase of a long range venture to bring a cluster of historic ships to the site. A short walk from the Independence Seaport Museum brings you to Philly's Old City that includes the Liberty Bell and a string of the nation's most revered historic sites such as Independence National Historical Park. Rows of red-bricked foundries, factories and ware- house space have been transformed into cozy cafes, bustling galleries and upscale retail boutiques. Within the last few years, the Old City has blossomed into a swanky nightclub, dance club and an restaurant hub. Leading the charge has been The Continental, a diner on the corner.of Market and Second Streets that opened in 1996, The Continental is famed for its martinis request a Dean Martin, and it'll come with a complimentary Lucky Strike and book of matches. Across the street sits Cuba Libre where one gets a movie-set feel a 1940s Havana street scene that vibrates with tropical colors. An indoor courtyard is flanked by 35-foot high facades of houses and curvy bal- conies decked out with blue shutters, stained glass, orna- mental wrought iron and terra-cotta roof tiles. There are huge ceiling fans that sport flower petal-like rotating blades, towering palms, dazzling Cuban art on the walls, seductive Cuban music, and friendly servers dressed in traditional guayaberas shirts. Cuba Libre presses its own sugar cane, boasts 47 'varieties of rums and claims to serves about 2,500 mojitos a week. Chef Guillermo Veloso's appetizers are designed for sharing. As for entrees, try the grilled skirt steak KW.WlUlt'l Q: What's NEW at Yacht Equipment & Parts?

All were fla- vorful, satisfying, affordable and served with a sparkling presentation. On selected weekends a trio of on-the- move Cuban musicians serenade diners on both levels. The Cuban music ignites both the downstairs and upstairs mojito bars where patrons have got their mojo working to the mambo rhythm. Walking a few doors south down Second Street brings you to the Tin Angel acoustic cafd. Comfortable, warm and intimate, the "Tin," is located in a 150 year-old former city townhouse upstairs from Serrano, a cozy, neighborhood restaurant that offers splendid international cuisine downstairs. The stage sits at the far end of the long, narrow room that accommodates 105 people. Richly hued murals cover the walls and the closely spaced tables are lit by candles. With impeccable acoustics, it's almost a living room-type setting where legendary performers such as Richie Havens, Roger McGuinn, and the late S". .. . The 1892 cruiser Olympia, America's oldest steel warship, is docked along Penn Landings and is kicking off the first phase of a long range plan to bring historic ships to the site. Townes Van Zandt have graced the stage. Contemporary singer-songwriters like Freedy Johnson and Francis Dunnery pack the room for multi-night shows. During the shows, gourmet coffees, cappuccinos, teas, desserts are offered, as well as a var- ied selection of liquors, wine, beers and mineral waters. Further down Second Street is Khyber Pass, known as the bedrock of regional live music. The brown brick building has been serving drinks and rollicking times to its patrons since 1856. In the 1960s it became a venue for folk acts, but since the early MARCH 2002 ; new night spots 1970s the Khyber has been the hub of the local rock music scene. The bar is stocked with a bonanza of international, national and regional brewers that numbers more than 100 bottles. A block east on Front Street, Warmdaddy's, a 165-seat restaurant and club delivers everything from delta blues to zyde- co teamed with real-deal southern cuisine. Late evening revelers head to Club 32, next to Cuba Libre. Opened last fall, the second-floor space is Old City's "hippest" nightspot fashioned in steel blues, low lights and pulsating sounds. Its hook is a European table-side bottle service. Iced-down bottles of alcohol from vodka to Veuve, as well as shots in glasses of ice arrive at reserved red-velvet booths that wrap around the front walls of the club. A convenient home-base is the Penn's View Hotel which blends historic charm and contemporary comfort with its 40- guest rooms (some with a jacuzzi, fire- place) overlooking the bustling waterfront scene of Penns Landing.
