Three recent stories about life in Pembroke Pines covered several topics — restaurant health inspections, a dramatic crash at a neighborhood Aldi and looming job cuts in Broward County Public Schools.
Here’s a rundown to catch up:
Story 1: One Pines restaurant hit with high-priority violations, 10 ace tests, inspectors say
State inspectors cited Latin American Grill on Pines Boulevard for four high-priority violations and 10 total infractions, including food debris in freezers, cross-contamination risks and unsafe temperature control for meats and cooked rice. Most issues were corrected on the spot, while 10 other Pembroke Pines eateries earned spotless reports.
Story 2: 76-year-old driver cited after crashing into Aldi, Pembroke Pines police say
Police say a 76-year-old woman lost control of her red pickup while turning into a parking space at the Aldi on Pines Boulevard, jumping a curb and bushes before smashing through the store’s front door. No one inside the store or in the truck was hurt, but the driver was cited for careless driving and recommended for a driver’s license re-examination as officials assess the building damage.
Story 3: BCPS superintendent outlines plans as district aims to cut 1,000 jobs amid crisis
The Broward County Public Schools superintendent says the district is pressing ahead with plans to eliminate about 1,000 mostly district-level positions to close an $80 million budget gap. He’s promising to “remodel” services so support for schools, teachers and students isn’t stripped away, even as layoffs, school closures and possible furloughs loom for non-union staff.
