The Hillsboro Club hosted a very special fundraising event, open to the
public, to help Logan Inverso, a local baby born with C.H.A.R.G.E. syndrome,
a genetic condition which results in critical health needs and massive medical
expenses. On Sunday, June 13th, a Luau for Logan was held at the scenic 85-
year-old private resort, which is located directly on the beachfront adjacent
to the Hillsboro Inlet and its historic
lighthouse.
Featured was a cocktail reception

The Kerr — Kamm Family

Reunion and 4th of July Party
It is nice to know that a little torrential downpour does not stop

barbecue ribs, smoked pulled pork sandwiches, and Linda’s grilled
rum pineapple boats, buttery corn on the cob and beer can chicken
with all the fixings. The rain wasn’t the only thing pouring as there
were buckets full of homemade red and white sangria and plenty of
other libations. The night ended with a bang — fireworks that is —

A Really Whacky, Tacky Bunch

Attend Book Signing
Here they came, marching into the book signing at Border’s Books in Fort
Lauderdale, all attempting to portray the very characters in Deborah Sharp’s
latest novel, Mama Gets Hitched.
This is the third in a series of mystery novels that the local writer has had
published, and all indications are that it will surpass the first two in sales.
An overflow crowd on the second floor were entertained for over an hour
by Ms. Sharp as she described Mama and her continuing involvement with
murders that always occur at most inconvenient times. In this third novel, the
wedding’s caterer is killed just before the wedding.The infusion of southern
colloquialisms throughout the story adds humor and outright comedy to
this tale of woe.
Ms. Sharp’s ninety-five year old mother was on hand for the event, but
claimed that she never spent time in the slammer as was described in
Sharp’s second book, Mama Does Time.
Kerry Sanders, photo-journalist and reporter for NBC Television and
husband of Ms. Sharp, assisted in the festivities. Sanders had been covering

4KIDS OF
SOUTH FLORIDA
HELPING KIDS
IN CRISIS
Story by Dee Kelley
Ken Lacy, the Director of Independent Living, doing
a bible study around the pool to start the evening.
On Tuesday, July 6th, the Jones family of Lighthouse Point

opened their beautiful home to host a “Big Fellowship” for a
group of youths from 4KIDS of South Florida. For those not
familiar with 4KIDS, they are a faith-based, nonprofit organization
committed to “Providing Hope for Kids in Crisis.” Formed 12
years ago to address the needs of children in the foster care
system, this organization continues to be a ray of hope for kids
and youth in our community who have been subjected to abuse
and neglect.
The Spirit of Success Institute (SOSI), an independent living
program, was created by 4KIDS to help young adults ages 18-23
who have “aged out” of the foster care system. For these young
adults, this is a very critical time in their lives. Some have been in
the foster care system for many years and have been shuffled from
shelter to shelter, home to home. Some were removed from their
biological families only to wind up living on the streets. Some had
adoptions which fell through, and some were never considered for
adoption.The statistics for this “at-risk” population are very grim,

they provide residential home settings. There are currently five Resident Advisors, are volunteers and mentors who play a
significant role in the lives of these young adults, by spending
time with them in the homes or meeting with them outside of
the homes.
And that’s where the Jones’ come in. Nancy Jones became
involved with 4KIDS through her church, Christ Church, a
dedicated supporter of the ministry. As volunteers, Nancy and
her family have come to be a big part of the Spirit of Success
Institute, helping to make a difference in the lives of these young
adults.They have participated in SOSI events and have come to
know the residents, and became “big boosters” of this group
which has culminated in their hosting an evening of food, fun,
and fellowship.
There is no government funding for kids who “age-out” of the
foster care system, and financial support is completely
dependent upon individual and corporate donations, and

JC Wahoo’s Spor ts
Bar & Grill
By Linda Kaufman
Photos by Jon Frangipane
JC Wahoo’s Sports Bar & Grill reopened under new

ownership at the same location on Federal Highway in
Lighthouse Point. The restaurant still has the two unique bars
which are exact replicas of the transoms of two yachts that
seem to float into the wall of the Lighthouse Point Intracoastal
Waterway. Trompel’oeil at its best!
The top of the transom has a sixty-five inch television built
into it, and aound it you see blue sky, pelicans and a calm sea,
and the familiar local scene of the Hillsboro Lighthouse at the
center. Large, painted wahoos, barracudas, and marlins hang from
the open ceiling, in keeping with the nautical feel of the
establishment.
The new Wahoo has a more spacious feel with the booths
being easily visible without the wall that used to separate them
from the bar. There are currently eighteen televisions
strategically located around the restaurant for prime vantage
point viewing. And soon, there will be seven more installed to
guarantee good viewing from any seat without anyone straining
their neck. A Tiki bar has also been added to add a fun, tropical Owners Joe and Hope Carrino.

back into the restaurant business, I’d do something like this —
family oriented, and in a nice community. I was driving to work
one day and saw the auction sign in the window and inquired
about it. And we won the bid! Here am I again in the restaurant
business!”
Joe ran a successful nightclub in Ft Lauderdale after spending
much of his career as an investment banker in New York. After
selling the club, he ventured back into investment banking
where he is still involved with his clients of many years. But his
passion lies in the restaurant business. “This place was made for
me. I can juggle five or six things at the same time — vendors,
patrons, and the kitchen, etc. Time goes quick. It’s fun time.And
this is something that I’ve always wanted to do.”
No one seemed to be having more fun than the kids who
were getting their face painted by “Strawberry,” the orange-
haired clown at the far corner of the restaurant. On Mondays, it’s
kid’s night. Children can eat free and get balloons made by the
clown.Then at 8pm, a live trivia game starts for the whole family.

Sprouts Help Beautify Our City

The Lighthouse Point Beautification Committee with the
help of the Lighthouse Point Sprouts recently replanted the
area around the city entrance sign on Lighthouse Point Drive
at the South end of the city. The Beautification Committee is
part of the Environmental Committee and works to improve
public areas around the city and educate residents on
sustainable landscape and living practices. They are funded
through private donations and through funds raised at the
Environmental Fair and Plant Sale. The first was held in
January of this year and next year is scheduled for Saturday,
March 5th. They are looking
for sponsors and vendors.

Local Writer, T.J. Watts

Writes Action Thriller
Pompano resident, T.J. Watts, is author of a newly-released action novel set in Fort
Lauderdale. The story takes you on a great ride, showing both the sparkle of the
Sunshine State, as well as its darker underbelly. Watts is a published writer having
appeared in numerous books and magazines.
The book, Hurricane Season, is an I-95 speed novel about two sixty year old, over-
the-hill cops out on the street pulling the midnight shift. Just trying to make it to
retirement, these two aging beach bums run into a blithe serial killer, a drug baron and
a host of other unsavory characters in this fast-moving saga.
Watts included local flavor and humor somewhat reminicent of the Miami Vice
T.V. series with the shooting, car chases, explosions and even a little romance thrown
in. And let’s not forget the Category 5 hurricane to blow you away and cast of characters directly out
of “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.”
Hurricane Season is available as an Ebook at: http://www.writewordsinc.com/husedumono.html
You can also read a sample chapter and see the video trailer at the author’s web site at:

Legendary Cove Marina & Restaurant to be Sold

When asked why she’s selling the 400-seat Cove Marina

& Restaurant after 32 years, Susan Agnew said, “I have two
beautiful grandchildren, and I want to spend time with
them. It’s time to pass the baton.”
Agnew, 55, was the longtime business partner of
founder Ken Gulden, who died in 2008. Agnew, who
joined The Cove as an employee in 1979, eventually
married Gulden. The couple later divorced but continued
running the marina and restaurant together.
She has hired a Fort Lauderdale real-estate firm, Lasman
Property Group, to market the businesses and surrounding
land along the Intracoastal Waterway at Hillsboro
Boulevard. Lasman has been fielding bids since the end of
July.There is no listed asking price. “We will let the market
