Children paint a lot more than animals at Pines exhibit

If there's one thing Gloriela Araujo knows about her art students, it's that they love to draw animals.

Especially dinosaurs.

Each day, children as young as 4 shuffle into Araujo's el taller art space in Pembroke Pines. A native of Venezuela, Araujo has been painting since she was a child and now lives in Weston.

'It feels natural,' Araujo said of her attraction to art. 'People are born with a skill, and they have to develop it.'

Araujo's classes cover a variety of techniques and styles. In one class, children spend an hour drawing and painting a picture of a clownfish. For the class of 5- and 6-year-olds, the clownfish instantly reminds them of the title character from Finding Nemo . In another class, children work with plaster and dough to create animal shapes - including, of course, a Tyrannosaurus rex.

Hallandale Beach company turns pomegranate ice cream into cold, hard cash

Out of a small office on Hallandale Beach Boulevard, a group of entrepreneurs is taking on some of the biggest names in the food business with an exotic ice cream treat.

SheerBliss is the first ice cream to exploit the unusual flavor of pomegranates. In just three years, the product has found its way onto the shelves of more than 5,000 stores nationwide.

'This is a market dominated for years by Nestle, which [distributes] Haagen-Dazs, and by Unilever,' said Gary Barron, 53, of North Miami Beach, who is president of SheerBliss Ice Cream.

Boy, 9, makes hole-in-one

Kyle Anders, of Weston, made a hole-in-one on the fifth hole from the red tees of the Weston Hills Country Club Tour Course on May 16.

Kyle, a few days shy of his 10th birthday, used a six iron from 108 yards. A student at Appletree Montessori Elementary School, Kyle plays golf up to four times per week.

'We started screaming when he made it,' said his mother, Nicki. 'There were a couple of people who came out of their condos to see what had happened. The ball started out towards the left sand trap and then the ball disappeared into the cup. Kyle just starting running and jumping around. Then he went up and kissed the green.'
