Department of Motor Vehicles to Visit on Oct. 16

ation Director met in two advertised and televised sessions on October 17, 2013 and January 9, 2014 to review the application.

On February 27, the Planning and Zoning Ad-visory Board recommended approval to the Town Commission of the site plan application. The agenda package for the February 27 meeting is available on-line under Town News at www.townofsurfsidefl.gov. The site plan review process by the Town Commis-sion was delayed several months due to a Compre-hensive Plan Amendment and subsequent challenge to the Comp Plan Amendment.

At the October 28 meeting, a resolution will be considered approving a development order which would allow the project to move forward. The devel-opment order incorporates conditions that the Shul must meet including traffic impacts, parking and im-provements to the alley to the west of their property including undergrounding, utility improvements, paving and street lighting upgrades.

The complete agenda packet for the meeting is scheduled to be available on the Town’s website by October 17.

See you around Town!

SURFSIDE STARS

Dr. Fiorella Terenzi is a Surfside Star truly inspired by the stars.

She is an Italian-born astrophysicist, author and record-ing artist whose fame rocketed skyward after making recordings of radio waves from distant galaxies and turning them into music. Dr. Terenzi received her doctor-ate from the University of Milan and currently is on the Physics and Astronomy faculty at Florida International University and a resident of Surfside.

Described by Time magazine as “a cross between Carl Sagan and Madonna,” Dr. Terenzi has studied opera and composition at Conservatory G. Verdi, Corsi Popolari Serali and taught physics and astronomy at several U.S. colleges and universities.

She pioneered techniques to convert radio waves em-anating from distant galaxies into sound, with some of the results released by Island Records on her acclaimed CD Music from the Galaxies. Her unique audio recordings and music based on celestial data explores the chemical, dynamical and physical proper-ties of celestial objects, a pursuit Fiorella calls “Acoustic Astrono-my.”

In 1999, Dr. Terenzi penned a popular book called Heavenly Knowledge, using astronomy as a metaphor for human relation-ships and humanity’s place in the universe. She also record-ed a best-selling CD Invisible Universe that won the SIGCAT Award for “Most Creative Application of Multimedia in Adult Education” and was praised for blending astronomy and music into an entertain-ing and enlightening voyage through the stars.

Her songs are featured on the Billboard Top 20 Music Video The Gate to the Mind’s Eye with Thomas Dolby, and on Beyond Life, Mercury Records’ dance/trance CD and video. She has performed and recorded with artists from Herbie Hancock to Ornette Coleman.

Dr. Terenzi’s writing, music and public appearances led to an avalanche of publicity. Just a few of her global media appearances include CNN’s Future Watch, The Dennis Miller Show, SciFi Channel, NPR’s Talk of the Nation, Week-

end Edition and Science Friday. Her intriguing story has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, People, Time, Electronic Musician, Glamour and many more.

She has moderated hundreds of panels on science, technology, education and music. She is the first

person to be a member of both the National Academy of Re-cording Arts & Sciences (Gram-my Awards) and the American Astronomical Society. In her free time she enjoys watching and following

the Formula One racing circuit.

Dr. Terenzi has had a home in Surfside since 2000 when she worked for two years at the Miami Science Museum and Planetarium. She kept her condominium even though she worked in Los Angeles for a decade.

“I was so happy when I got the teaching position at FIU two years ago,” Fiorella said. “I couldn’t wait to move back to Surfside. I really love it here!”

Dr. Terenzi will address The New York Times International Luxury Conference, a two-day event attracting over 500 business and creative leaders to the Mandarian Oriental in downtown Miami December 1–3, 2014. Her talk will be The Collaborative Mind: Bridging Astrophysics and Aesthetics.

POLICE BEAT

Executive Assistant Dina Goldstein organized a crime prevention seminar for female residents on August 11, 2014. The workshop was Survival Mindset, A Personal Safety Seminar with a nationally known instructor who is a friend of Dina’s. The class taught women to recog-nize and avoid potentially dangerous situations; learn practical safety measures designed to keep them safe; and learn what sex offenders do not want you to know. About 40 people attended. The seminar and the instruc-tor were extraordinary. I have received much praise and thanks for hosting the class.

However, the praise and thanks should be directed to Dina, who did all of the work – scheduling, advertise-ment, registration, venue, equipment, materials, and refreshments. She continues to offer excellent programs to the community. Her dedication and commitment to Surfside is apparent to all. She certainly makes me and the Surfside Police Department always look impressive.

-Chief David Allen

Dina Goldstein Named August Civilian of the Month

The Surfside Police Depart-ment is collect-ing unused cell phones and donating them to a local do-mestic violence shelter. The new initiative is being coordinated by Officer Dianna Hernandez and the drop-off location is the Communications Unit of the Police Department. Commissioner Marta Olchyk has helped the program by collecting many phones that have been distributed to domestic violence victims. Thank you!

If you are interested in making a donation, please follow these guidelines:• You must delete all your personal information from the device, including stored phone numbers, call history and text messages.

• Make sure that the service is disconnected to avoid any fees.

• The phone must be in good working order.

• A working charger or charging connection must accompany the cell phone donation.

• If the phone isn’t working properly or you don’t have the charger, please recycle the phone.

For further information please contact Officer Dianna Hernandez at (305) 861-4862.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS KEEP PUBLIC WORKS BUSYBiscaya Drainage ProjectThe Public Works Department began this drainage project in September and anticipates completion in 90 days. Public Works crews have installed drainage struc-tures and pipe to the design elevation and are working their way from the south end of the project to the outfall north. This drainage project was approved by Commis-sion to upgrade the system by increasing the pipe size. This project will be a great improvement for drainage in this area and the Town will save approximately $100,000 having Public Works doing the installation instead of using an outside contractor.

Tennis CenterThe Tennis Center building is now open. The refurbished building had a major overhaul with new paint inside and out, installation of impact windows, new lights, ceiling fans and tile floor. The makeover was severely needed and will give recreation more space to better service the tennis community. With the recent completion of the new tennis courts, lights and fencing, the Town now has a new modern tennis facility. Come and check out it out!

Town Hall ImprovementsRepairs to the roof and air conditioner were recently approved by Commission. Contractors were selected through a bid process and work is scheduled to begin on October 6. The Town is changing the air units from a standalone version to a chiller system, which is a more efficient and cost-effective method. Because of the efficiency of the new cooling system, the improvements will pay for themselves in about 7 years due to cost sav-

ings from using less energy. After the roof and cooling system are complete, portions of the interior of Town Hall will be repainted, and new carpet and ceiling tiles installed. This project is estimated to be completed by the end of the year.

95th Street End, Phase 2Phase 2 of the 95th Street End is finally here. The Com-mission approved this project at the September meet-ing. Public Works will undertake this project and oversee the construction to include re-location of existing palm trees, installation of new palm trees, irrigation system, paver walkway, sidewalks, new shower, and benches. By Public Works coordinating the project instead of an outside contractor, the cost has been reduced by about $40,000. This project will complete the overall designed project, which started in August of 2013 with street improvements from Collins Avenue to the seawall with installation of drainage, pavers, street lights and new Medjool palms. The project should be completed within 60 days.

Resident ID cards will be available for renewal commencing on October 1, 2014 for the upcoming fiscal year, Oc-tober 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015. They will be available at the Community Center during business hours. Note that access to the facility may be denied upon three notifications and failure to renew your Resident ID card.

RENEWAL PROCESS1. Residents with Current ID cards must bring in their card.

3. If the resident is a renter they must bring in their driver’s license, a copy of the leases that included the dates of rental and people authorized to reside, and one of the following: current utility bill, current bank statement, current credit card statement
