Recently many families in Weston, Florida, were thrown into a panic due to a cap placed on one of the state’s best schools. Cypress Bay High School is located in Weston, Florida. Both schools are “A” rated and a number one choice for parents to send their children. However in 2007-2008, CBHS became the most populous school in the United States with over 5,000 students. The cap required students that were zoned for CBHS to enroll in Western High School.
There is good news for you parents near Weston, the cap has been removed.

I-595 Construction Near Weston, Florida
Just shy of a year ago The Florida Department of Transportation signed a $1.2 billion contract with Spanish construction company ACS Infrastructure Development to rebuild Interstate 595 near Weston, Florida. The fact of the matter is that there hasn’t actually been much construction performed over the past year. Some work has begun on a walking trail along the canal next to the interstate, as well as some noise walls. The important question is when will the real work start?Over the past 11 months, engineers have been gearing up for the big construction to begin and officials say that within the next two months, much of the heavy construction will commence. The plans include changes to 10.5 miles of I-595 to be rebuilt, which includes 63 bridges. Almost two miles of Florida’s Turnpike will be rebuilt as well. The DOT had to configure a way to keep traffic moving while the roads were being rebuilt. There are already 500 full-time and 375 part-time professionals employed and the plan on hiring over thousands more during the construction.
ACS Infrastructure Development signed on to rebuild I-595 and promise to have it finished by 2014. As well they plan to finance the design and maintain the road for 35 years. The DOT has held a community meeting for the residents of Davie County. Michael Turnbell can be reached at mturnbell@SunSentinel.com, 954-356-4155 or on Twitter @MikeTurnpike.

Joan Rivers Gets Inspired by Weston
Friday, March 12, Joan Rivers was in Weston, Florida, where she found inspiration for her Reality TV series “How’d You Get So Rich.” The source of this inspiration came from a Weston resident by the name of Jamie McDonnell. McDonnell, 46, was a former cocaine addict who is now a self-made, entrepreneurial success.
McDonnell is a true “rags-to-riches” story which Rivers says “America is all about.” He is featured in the interview at his 10,000 square foot, six bedroom- home in Windmill Ranch Estates in Weston, where 11 of his cars are parked. Among the cars are a Lamborghini, Bentley and a Rolls-Royce.
McDonnell got started at the age of 25 selling an invention of his brother’s, which detected microwave leaks, in New York City after being in rehab for four years. McDonnell was addicted to cocaine and had even failed the ninth grade. However, after selling his brother’s invention door to door, the idea to make safety kits that detected mold, lead and pesticides in water struck him.
The kits which are currently sold in nine countries bring in over $200 million a year. Not only does he keep up his business selling his safety kits, but he has since moved on to new ventures such as, owning a magazine, an advertising company, a plumbing business and even restaurants.
“It shows that hard work pays off,” says his wife Rebecca of McDonnell’s enormous success. McDonnell is a charitable man, and donates to organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA.
McDonell has ventured out of the business that earned him his first millions. He now owns a number of businesses in Weston’s Town Center. These include East City Grill, Azul Bar and Lounge, Libation Wine and Spirits, Del Vecchio’s Pizzeria, Stop Burger, as well as local magazine Think Weston and Windmill Advertising Group.
Rivers’ reality show is geared to show Americans the stories of self made successes like McDonnell. It is not highlighting those born into wealth, but the “rags-to-riches” stories. The second series of her show premiers on May 5 at 10 pm, tune in to see Jamie McDonnell’s Weston home and his story of success.
