BUSINESS MONDAY EMPLOYMENT

In Miami, South Florida, and beyond, teens are stepping in to fill the exceptional number of job vacancies the economy is seeing in 2021.

Seafood Bar and Grill chain in South Florida, about 50% more teens are working this summer than in summers past, said Fla-nigan's owner Jimmy Flanigan.

"Because we knew we were short-staffed, I made sure I reached out to my kids' friends and their parents." Flanigan estimated he personally hired at least 10 youngsters for summer roles, usually in the front of the restaurant, like hosts and buss-ers.

Economists are still not en-tirely certain about the cause of the labor shortage. While there is some evidence that generous

unemployment benefits have kept some workers sidelined, other causes, like skills mis-matches, too-low pay, retire-ments, and ongoing fears of exposure to the virus have also made it difficult to hire, espe-cially in hospitality.

For now, teens are benefiting -including ones in South Flor-ida. Data from payroll software provider Gusto show teens have been making up a record por-tion of new hires in the Miami metro area. In June 2019, 15- to 19-year-olds made up 15% of all new hires; this June, they made up 49% — nearly half of all new

For teens, finding a summer job was nigh impossible.

Things have changed BY ROB WILE [email protected]

Nineteen-year-old Little Havana resident Lucas Blanco had never worked a summer job

before. But he needed some extra cash.

Lucky for him, Azucar ice cream shop owner Suzy Batik needed workers. Fast.

"I would be willing to hire anyone capable of serving an ice cream," Baffle said.

So despite his only ice cream experience being a familiarity with Azucar's famed eclectic flavors, Blanco is now working as a scooper at the stalwart Calle Ocho parlor, making above minimum wage (he and Baffle declined to say how much), until he returns to col-lege in Tennessee in the fall.

Faced with an unprecedented labor shortage sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, South Florida restaurants are increas-ingly turning to high school and college students to take shifts. It's a trend seen nationwide — where the unemployment rate for 16- to 19-year-olds stands at 9.6%, the lowest it's been since 1953 — but one that is now es-pecially noticeable in the hospi-tality-heavy Miami metro area.

"That's who I'm hiring now," said Baffle. "They're trainable, thank god."

The trend stands in contrast to a decades-long pullback in teen hiring, something econo-mists have attributed to a multi-tude of factors including increased enrollment in school, and a decline in entry-level jobs. During the pandemic, teen sum-mer employment hit its lowest point since the Great Recession, according to a Pew study.

But this summer, local hospi-tality captains say, teens search-ing for a job should be able to find one. Across the Flanigan's

employees. And they're earning more,

too. In the metro area encom-passing Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, wages for 15-.to 19-year-olds in serv-ice-sector jobs have increased from $8.43 a year ago (June 2020) to $10.66 (June 2021).

Teens can now expect to earn above the minimum wage, ac-cording to the restaurateurs interviewed. Flanigan said one young hostess was making about $1,600 over two weeks.

"Even if they're coming to work for Flanigan's, we have to be mindful that Chili's can also pay them like us," Flanigan said. "Wage inflation is real."

AnnElizabeth Konkel, an economist with jobs website Indeed, said this summer is a prime opportunity for teens looking to gain work experience.

"There's elevated demand for workers, with some employers hiring urgently and offering hiring incentives," she said in an email. "Teens are already taking advantage of employers' tightening demand for work-ers."

South Florida fast-food chain Miami Grill has seen a surge of teen applicants this summer. Partner and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Vogel said he has never experienced such difficulties hiring in his 33 years in the restaurant industry. As a result, while some owners often hesitate to hire minors because of Florida's strict work laws governing them, such concerns are being cast aside to meet the current challenge.

"Now more than ever [teen workers] are serving as a bridge to help us until the labor market crunch eases up," Vogel said.

Still, those work laws are strictly enforced by Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Mi-

l chael Elkins, a labor law at-torney and managing partner at Corcoran & Elkins in Davie, said there are different work hours allowed for differentage groups: one set, for minors aged 15 and younger, and another for minors aged 16-17.

All minor workers in Florida are barred from working for more than six consecutive days a week, with no more than four continuous hours without a 30-minute break period.

Elkins said he recently resolv-ed a dispute for a client who had employed a minor to cover a shift in a pinch.

"They're out there enforc-ing," Elkins said of DBPR offi-cials. "That's how my client got hit. An investigator popped in and they got dinged."

Flanigan said teen schedules "are always interesting" be-cause they are often traveling or enrolled in summer classes or participating in extracurricular activities -- or all of the above.

Abe Ng, owner of Sushi Maki, said each of his six open restau-rants in Miami-Dade now has at least one or two college- or high school-aged workers. Some are interns in white-collar roles who Ng believed would benefit from exposure to the restaurants' everyday workings.

"A shift here, a shift there makes all the difference in the world," he said.

Ng said occasionally the youngest workers need extra training. Patrons, he said, are forgiving.

"They know how challenging things are right now," Ng said of summer diners. "People have been patient and are working with us."

Youths who couch-surfed, slept in cars now are helping other homeless kids BY YADIRA LOPEZ Special to the Miami Herald

As a teen, Roxana Ro-driguez-Monzon would sometimes hang around downtown bus stops wait-ing for the 5 a.m. opening of a Brickell Starbucks. She had nowhere else to go.

Rodriguez-Monzon, now 21 and a student at Florida International University, is part of a cohort of nine young people in the Youth Voice Action Council, or YVAC — an advocacy group raising awareness about youth homesless-ness in Miami run by youth who've experi-enced housing instability themselves. The program is a youth-led coalition, the HOMY Collective, short for Helping our Miami-Dade Youth, sup-ported by the lonprofit Miami Homes for All and

the Children's Trust. "We wanted to make

sure we're listening to the people who are most impacted because they know what the gaps are in the community," said Audrey Aradanas, YVAC coordinator and assistant director of programs at Miami Homes for All.

Figuring out the num-ber of homeless youth in Miami isn't straight-forward. Since 2013, local agencies have used the annual iCount Miami census to help provide a snapshot of the numbers. The survey counts young pecVle ages 13-24 with no permanent place to stay.

The most recent data available, from 2019, counted 363 homeless youth. Some were living on the street. Nearly half had a history in foster care and 44% identified as LGBTQ+. About a third were pregnant or parenting young children.

While each person's story is unique, it's not uncommon to hear of teens and young adults who are kicked out of their homes or have aged out of the foster care system without a safety net, said Aradanas.

The number is almost certainly an undercount. It's likely there are hun-dreds more homeless teens and young adults in the county, said Arada-nas. Some who may not even realize they are homeless, said Rodri-guez-Monzon.

"People think being

YOUTH homeless means you're sleeping under a bridge or on the street, but a lot of times youth are sleeping in cars or couch-surfing with distant friends and rela-tives," she said. "What it really means is you don't have a stable place to live."

The YVAC members all have first-hand experience with this instability. As part of the program, they spend a year working on projects targeting the needs of young people in unstable housing.

For YVAC member Mel-anie Ramirez, that meant revamping the group's website to create easily digestible resource guides that can be marketed to teens and young adults on social media. The idea

came from her own expe-rience of checking into a homeless shelter last year as the pandemic was brewing.

Feeding South Florida programs offer a head-start in food-service careers, 10


Programs in culinary and warehouse skills prep students for the workplace

BY DAVID BROTHERS [email protected]

Feeding South Florida, known for its food bank that helps the region's food-insecure, has launched two training pro-grams. Both are underway at the organiza-tion's new 5,000-square-foot community kitchen at its Palm Beach County head-quarters in Boynton Beach.

The culinary program fits squarely with the organization's mission of breaking the cycle of hunger and poverty, Feeding South Florida Executive Vice President Sari Vatske said. "We create a hunger-free South Florida by increasing access to food, and we increase access to food either by coming up with innovative ways to give people food, or giving them ways to get the food on their own."

The 12-week culinary program is designed to teach people 18 and older who want to learn the ins and outs of the food service industry, and there is assistance with job placement upon completion of the program. The program is free and open to all who have a low or no income, the organization says.

"The difference between our program and others is that it's not just back-of-the-house knife skills.or making sauces," Vatske said. "We're also working with [students] on understanding menu planning, food ordering

drives an hour from Hialeah to attend class-es in the culinary program, after which she drives an hour back to start her 5. p.m. work shift.

"Ever since I was young, I've always been interested. I would always help [my dad] in the kitchen, especially like on the week-ends," she said. "So it holds a special place in my garden."

She said she is happy she found the oppor-tunity from Feeding South Florida.

"It's just my passion, my passion for cook-ing, wanting to learn, wanting to be a better chef," Garcia said.

WAREHOUSE TRAINING Also at its Boynton Beach location, Feed-

ing South Florida is hosting a five-week warehouse training program, in which stu-dents learn about food safety, material hand-ling equipment, inventory picking, receiving, shipping and other aspects of the business.

Vatske said the main objective of both programs is to train and place its students

and cost analysis — things that chefs would see as very valuable in their kitchens."

The curriculum was created by Chef Lind-say Autry, a James Beard "Best Chef: South" nominee and a finalist on Bravo's ninth season of "Top Chef."

Autry said there is a strong need for culi-nary training programs in South Florida because many have closed during the pan-demic. "I think this was an opportunity for me to help our community and help those in

need, but also to provide a learning experi-ence in our community and help our hospi-tality industry grow," she said.

While the program was originally meant to last 10 weeks, the pandemic prompted Autry to make it a bit longer.

"I did take a step back and included two days just about COVID and health precau-tions in general," Autry said. "[There is] a big focus on how to properly and safely prepare food for takeout and curbside be-

cause our industry has definitely moved towards that more than dining room dining right now."

Classes are five days a week from 8:30 am to 3 pm, and every week has a different theme. In the introductory week, the five students learned about food safety and career opportunities in the hospitality in-dustry. In the following weeks, they will gain hands-on experience while learning about meats, poultry, fish, sauces, menu

The domestic hunger-relief organization serves 25% of Florida's food insecure population. Through direct-service programs and a network of nonprofit partner agencies, Feeding South Florida distributed nearly 119 million pounds (99.3 million- meals) of last fiscal year to more than 706,000 individuals — 236,000 of whom are children and 100,000 are older adults.

into the hospitality industry, including res-taurants, hotels and convention centers.

"As we create our meals for our healthcare partners, students in the training program will have the opportunity to do hands-on experience towards the end of the curricu-lum," Vatske said. "They'll be helping make the meals and be involved in the actual pro-duction."

Students will also practice skills like writ-ing a resume, going through an interview process, and honing professional communi-cation skills.

Feeding South Florida hopes to place those who've completed the programs into their warehouse and fleet, as well as in res-taurants and big companies with which they have arrangements, including Publix and Ryder. The organization is also in the pro-cess of creating a catering service, and hopes to eventually place some of the graduates there as well.

No further details about the catering service are available, although the Feeding South Florida is hoping that someday, prof-its from that service could be reinvested into the organization's donation programs, in-cluding food distribution, medically tailored meals, school pantry program and weekend backpack program, senior home delivery, and veteran's meals.

"We rely on a budget of faith," Vatske said. "But to the extent that we can plan for earned income, that's a great day. I mean, imagine if nonprofits didn't have to keep begging for their next dollar and could focus on their mission impact."

Feeding South Florida's training program does not have an end date, and it hopes to construct a new location in Miami Dade soon.

hunger-free South' Florida is because hunger is a symptom of something larger; it's not the root cause," Vatske said. "The root cause of hunger is poverty and systemic break-downs. So if there's no hunger, that means we have improved the food system, the economy has improved, people are working, and they're able to support themselves."

Bean Automotive Group welcomes the MDC Sharks in new apprentice technician program By: Izabella Felpeto July 5, 2021

Pictured (I-r) are Jiselle Perez, HR Director Bean Automotive Group; Finn MDC Shark; and George Wiltz,

CFO Bean Automotive Group.

Bean Automotive Group has joined forces with Miami Dade College to inaugurate

the dealership's first automotive technician apprenticeship program.

The company seeks to create new opportunities in a competitive automotive service

industry that is constantly seeking top talent. A first for Miami-Dade College, the

innovative partnership will educate and train the automotive technicians of

tomorrow.

The automotive technician apprenticeship program was made possible with the

assistance of the Miami Dade Beacon Council and Career Source of South Florida. It

will involve classroom instruction and on-the-job training to give MDC students the

opportunity to get paid while learning the skills necessary to graduate as

professional auto technician specialists.

"I'm so excited about this program and see a lot of potential with the way Bean

Automotive Group has transformed our Lexus of West Kendall service center to be a

real hands-on training facility," said Alvaro Bonfante, Lexus of West Kendall's

Master Diagnostic Technician. "I would've been so grateful to have had this when I

started my career. The classroom environment and resources made available for

our apprentices will definitely set us apart from other auto tech programs in

Florida."

Bonfante is excited to lead the first group of apprentices this summer. Having been

self-taught, he believes it's a wonderful opportunity to mentor young mechanics.

Bonfante will incorporate the Toyota manufacturing principle of "kaizen"

(continuous improvement) into the program as he guides apprentices through a

fast-track career program.

"With the technology changing so fast, I've seen many technicians fall behind and

not be able to properly diagnose a vehicle," Bonfante explained. "Here at Lexus and

Toyota, we are seeing more hybrid vehicles and can expect to work on more

electric cars in the near future. I want to show my students how to stay updated

with the changing technology."

Enrollment is now open at MDC and Bean Automotive Group is targeting eager,

proficient techs with a passion for high tech automobiles. They hope this initiative

will enhance employment opportunities for local talent and increase the number of

specialized auto pros in all four facilities: Kendall Toyota, West Kendall Toyota,

Lexus of Kendall and Lexus of West Kendall.

"What better way to execute our vision of being the leading automotive group than

by serving our communities and associates with an opportunity for a life-long,

lucrative career in the auto industry, with Bean Automotive Group, who has served

the local community in Miami-Dade for more than 52 years," said George Wiltz,

Bean Automotive Group's Chief Financial Officer.

Wiltz says they plan to "train and develop auto techs with an excellent customer

service philosophy, which is the key to Bean Automotive Group's continued

success."

Students can expect to receive a variety of health insurance benefits, free tuition,

books and toolkits. After completing a full year, participants will earn an

Apprenticeship Certificate of Completion and will be ready to show off their skills as

professional Automotive Trained Specialists.

Applicants may go to Miami Dade College to apply

at https://www.mdc.edu/apprenticeships/automotive-technician.aspx and click on

"see if I qualify." They'll then be directed to a short questionnaire, follow the

instructions and submit to see if they get the green light.

7/6/2021 Surfside condo collapse: 4 more bodies found hours after the demolition

VIDEO: Surfside condo collapse: 4 more bodies found hours after demolition goes off as planned Rick Neale, Wendy Rhodes and John McCarthy Palm Beach Post Published 7:27 a.m. ET Jul. 5, 2021 I Updated 8:05 p.m. ET Jul. 5, 2021

SURFSIDE — Being able to search the entire pile of rubble for the first time, four more bodies were recovered Monday at the site of the Champlain Towers South condo, hours after the remaining standing portion of the condo was demolished.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava — who called the demolition's execution "exactly as planned" — said crews have removed 4.8 million pounds of concrete from the pile.

She said although weather conditions, including lightning, caused temporary pauses in the search, the four additional bodies mean the total confirmed dead is now 28, while 117 are still unaccounted for.

She said the building was demolished at exactly io:3o p.m. Sunday, Independence Day, and it fell according to plan, toward Collins Avenue, away from the existing rubble pile, which was covered with a tarp to protect it from dust from the implosion.

By 1 a.m. Monday, rescue crews were back to a full search-and-rescue operation.

"The demolition was executed flawlessly. And the rescue team said none of the existing pile, where there are victims still, was affected," Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said.

https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2021/07/05/surfside-condo-collapse-demolition-means-more-complete-search-mission/7864171002/ 1/7


"Bringing the building down in a controlled manner was critical to our search," Levine Cava said, noting that rescuers could now access the west side of the pile, which she said had been holding up the tower that was still standing. She said teams were already looking for voids where someone would have been able to be inside.

"That is the purpose of the search right now," she said.

Burkett said "the site was busier and more active now than I've seen it since we began."

"We'll continue 24 hours a day for the indefinite future until all the bodies are found."

The rush to demolish before Elsa's out bands reached Surfside

Levin Cava also mentioned the need to demolish the building before South Florida began feeling the effects of Tropical Storm Elsa. The concern was that heavy winds could topple the structure not where officials wanted.

Elsa had moved farther west on Monday, but still could bring intermittent showers, thunderstorms and brief gusty winds, with possible flooding and tornadoes in some areas. South Florida started feeling its effects Monday night.

People who lost personal belongings also are suffering, official says

Levine Cava pointed out that people who lost all or much of their possessions also are suffering.

Families who escaped the south tower when the rest of the condo collapsed in the early morning of June 24 were not allowed back in to retrieve belongings.

She said FEMA and insurance companies were working with the families and money raised from donations from all around the world was already helping families. "The generosity has been overwhelming to get funds into these families' hands to help them rebuild," she said.

As for whether any pets remained in the part of the tower that was demolished, officials reiterated that they had done multiple searches and found no pets.

She said teams looked in closets, under beds and other hiding places. In areas where they 1 could not access because of safety concerns, they used ladders on high-lift cranes, put animal


traps on balconies and used drones with thermal imaging. No pets were found.

"We went truly to great lengths to take every step that we could, at great risk to our first responders, (to make sure that) all the pets that were beloved family members" were not left in the building before it was demolished.

Despite the remaining south tower being demolished, Levin Cava said: "This is still a search and rescue, not a recovery."

DeSantis said area that was off-limits included a lot of master bedrooms

Gov. Ron DeSantis, who visited the building site Monday morning, said the pile of rubble closest to the remaining building had been inaccessible — but rescue workers were at that area Monday morning.

DeSantis said the newly accessible area of the rubble pile was where a lot of master bedrooms were located, and a lot of people were likely sleeping at the time of the collapse.

"They have made (victims') identifications from there — I don't want to say all. But they really believe that the identifications will be able to accelerate, now that they have access," DeSantis said.

"There were likely a lot of people who were sleeping at that time, unfortunately," he said.

DeSantis said the disaster will take a long-term toll on the mental health of many who escaped the doomed condominium complex.

"This is a really harrowing experience. And you literally have people that, had their unit been 20 feet another direction, they would have been in rubble — and their neighbor has never been heard from again," DeSantis said.

Elsa's storm bands could bring heavy rains, halt rescue operations

Tropical Storm Elsa moved farther west Monday, which reduced sustained wind threats for southeast Florida, including Surfside.

r


Still, the Miami area may see up to 3 inches of rain with nagging concerns of 39-mph wind gusts or higher in Elsa's feistiest storm bands.

Rescue efforts could be briefly put on hold by unpredictable rain bands and potential tornado threats. Levine Cava said work will continue at the site until winds reach 3o mph.

"We will only otherwise leave for lightning," she said.

When the remaining portion the Champlain Towers South came down

The Champlain Towers South condo building, with a loud bang and an almost silent collapse, was demolished Sunday at io:3o p.m.

Billowing smoke and dust lingered for about 15 to 20 minutes in the surrounding area, then, like the remaining structure that hampered search-and-rescue efforts for ii days, was gone.

The now-demolished portion of the tower created a large, jagged pile of rubble at least two stories tall, topped by a jumble of air conditioners, twister rebar and snapped concrete columns.

Neighborhood reaction to the south tower's demolition and impact

"It was the closest I've been to what it would be like in a war zone. It was really horrific," Sarah Jacob, a philosophy instructor at Miami Dade College, said Monday of the building demolition. She has lived a couple of blocks from Champlain Towers South since 1998.

"And then the billows of smoke just came here, and you couldn't see anything. It just billowed towards us," she said.

Jacob said the crippled structure crashed to the ground "like a domino." She brought her garden cats, Samson and Delilah, indoors for safety prior to the demolition.

Monday morning, Jacob hosed a layer of white dust off her front porch. Her neighbor, avionics engineer Dan Stankovic, washed a dust layer off of his Porsche Cayenne — he estimated about an eighth of an inch settled across his property.

r


"We know people that live there. And we know a couple of people that are still in the rubble," Stankovic said of Champlain Towers South.

"It's sad. Because you have all these personal belongings, memories, pictures, all that stuff —gone. And these people that survived that managed to get out are going to be devastated piecing their lives back together," he said.

Eric Morales hosed a white dust coating off his Ford F-25o truck before heading to work as a wastewater contractor. He has lived within easy eyeshot of Champlain Towers South for the past 15 years.

"Oh my God, it's devastating. There's no words for it," Morales said of the condo disaster.

"It's sad. And I, unfortunately, can't unplug from it because it's right here in front of the house," he said.

Two more structures in area had forced evacuations over the weekend

City officials in North Miami Beach, just northwest of Surfside, ordered the evacuation of a condominium tower just five miles from Surfside's building collapse.

Authorities said that the closing of the 156-unit Crestview Towers, built in 1972, stemmed from an audit prompted by the Champlain Towers South disaster.

"In an abundance of caution, the City ordered the building closed immediately and the residents evacuated for their protection, while a full structural assessment is conducted and next steps are determined," North Miami Beach City Manager Arthur H. Sorey III said.

On Friday, Crestview Towers submitted a recertification report, dated January 11, 2021, in which an engineer retained by the condo association board concluded that the building was structurally and electrically unsafe, the city of North Miami Beach said in a news release.

The building had reported millions of dollars in damage from 2017's Hurricane Irma, although it is unclear if any of the latest issues are related.

It was the first building to be evacuated since municipal officials in South Florida, and statewide, began scrutinizing older high-rises in the wake of the Surfside collapse to ensure that substantial structural problems are not being ignored.

r


Late Saturday, WPLG-Channel 10 in Miami reported that a three-story apartment building in Miami Beach was evacuated Saturday night.

The station reported that a city spokeswoman said structural issues were found.

No re-inspection rules for older condos, Florida Network finds

According to a review by the USA Today Network-Florida, the process that requires high-rise buildings that are 4o years or older to be inspected for safety — a review that was due this year for Champlain Towers South in Surfside — is not required in any of Florida's 67 counties except for Broward and Miami-Dade.

But change is already being discussed in the wake of the Surfside tragedy.

In the past week, Palm Beach County officials and the local League of Cities met with building officials for the 39 municipalities to "discuss and develop a plan to address recertification of these types of structures as soon as possible," wrote County Administrator Verdenia Baker in an email to commissioners.

More: No city outside of Broward or Miami-Dade requires 40-year building safety check. That could change

For local governments in the rest of Florida's 65 counties, high-rise inspections really happen only before the building is ready to be occupied, when permitted work is done or when dangerous conditions are brought to the local governments' attention. These records are often retained by the municipality.

Otherwise, routine inspections of high-rise properties are up to the building owner or manager.

— Hannah Morse, The Palm Beach Post, and USA Today Florida Network reporters

60 years of condo construction, Florida has no rules, Florida Network finds A USA Today Network-Florida review of Florida statutes governing the condo industry found the state has had no oversight of the condition of aging condominium buildings in nearly 6o years of condo construction, except for a brief window that lasted barely two years.

r


No post-construction inspection requirements. No enforcement measures to repair potentially life-threatening structural damage. No requirement to maintain a contingency fund for emergency repairs.

More: 'It takes a tragedy': Florida's hands-off approach to condo regulations tested after Surfside

That's because the Florida Legislature is reluctant to pass laws that slow down condominium construction and sales, said Eric Glazer, a Hallandale lawyer with 3o years of condo law experience.

USA Today Network-Florida reporters Dave Berman of Florida Today; TaMaryn Waters of the Tallahassee Democrat; Omar Rodriguez Ortiz, Jake Allen and Thaddeus Mast of the Naples Daily News; Tom McLaughlin of Northwest Florida Daily News; Nathaniel Cobb of the Panama City News Herald; Bill Smith of the Fort Myers News-Press; and Steve Patterson of the Florida Times-Union contributed to this story.

Honoring the Life and Legacy of Norma Martin

2021-07-05 By: Bernadette Morris

The late great American Poet - Maya Angelou - reminded us that "success is loving life, and

daring to live it." Norma Doreen Martin loved life, and equally important, she lived it to the

fullest.

Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, Norma migrated to the United States some 43 years ago. In

Jamaica, Norma had worked with the Government of Jamaica for 12 years.She married Carlton

Martin on December 6, 1958, and they were married for almost 63 years.

Norma had been a resident in the City of Miramar for 39 years. During this time, she earned an

Associate Degree from Miami-Dade College in 1984, after having obtaining her High School

Equivalency Diploma in 1981. Ever conscious of being well-rounded, both professionally and

personally, Norma also received a certificate in Medical Record Transcription from Sheridan

Vocational Technical Center, in 1990.

In 2003, after a 10-year tenure at SunTrust Bank, Norma retired from the workplace. Thereafter,

she immersed herself into community building and activism. "Miss Norma," as she was

affectionately known, was tirelessly active in the City of Miramar and the surrounding

communities. Among her exceptional achievements are:

President - Miramar Park Homeowners' Group (Historic Miramar District 5).

In 2010, The Miramar Homeowners' Group was honored at the 35th Annual Conference of the

"Neighborhood of the Year" in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Group was a National Finalist and

several members, including Norma, traveled there to receive the honor.

• 2003 —Recruited by a Crime Watch Group (Fairway Walkers), accompanied by representatives from the Miramar Police and Code Enforcement departments.

• 2007-Officially incorporated the "Miramar Park Homeowners' Group, Inc." (Subsequently, the group partnered with the Miramar Police department to participate in annual "National Night Out" events.)

• 2008 — Incorporated the Neighborhood Beautification and Streetscape projects. This revitalization effort initialed a Tree Lighting Ceremony in December, 2008, and heralded

the annual celebration of "Caribbean-American Heritage" month in June, at Norma's church.

• 2009 - Initiated Miramar's First Tree Lighting (annual) event at Fairway Park through a partnership with the City, neighborhood schools and businesses.

• 2010 — Collaborated with the Adopt-a-Street and Canal Clean-up Programs.

Additionally, Norma made it a point to partner with and participate in the efforts of the Miramar

Community Garden activities. She passionately supported the local schools in Miramar:

including Fairway Elementary, Miramar High, and Everglades High. She fervently supported the

Miami Deaf Center; and avidly supported the Legacy Learning Foundation.

Miss Norma received many awards and accolades over the years, namely:

• 2021 — Lifetime Achievement Award:Legacy Learning Foundation — for her vision and work in founding and managing the Caribbean Heritage Month Program,

• 2020 -Proclamation —Norma Martin Day, Jan. 28, 2020-Broward CountyCommission-for community work in the broader community of Broward County

• 2018 - Community Service award from Mayor Wayne Messam, • 2013 - Wall of Honor: City of Miramar - a Lasting Tribute for her dedication to the City

and her community-building work, • 2012 - Nominee for African American Achievers Award - JM Family Enterprises -for

her efforts in making a positive difference in the community.

Norma Martin went home to be with the Lord on June 19, 2021. A celebration of her life will be

held at 10 a.m. Friday, July 9, 2021, at Miramar Cultural Arts Center. Bishop David Simpson of

the Charismatic Episcopal Church of the Resurrectionwill officiate. Visitation will be held

Thursday, July 8, 2021, from 5-9 p.m. at Fred Hunter's Funeral Home, 6301 Taft St.,

Hollywood, FL. The burial will follow the funeral service at Hollywood Memorial Gardens

North at 12:45 pm. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Fred Hunter's Funeral Services.

Norma is survived by her husband, Carlton; daughters: Marcia and Audrey; grandchildren:

Camille, Adrienne, Deja, Halima, Ibrahim; siblings: Leon, Grennett, Diedre, Dorrel, Michelle;

nieces, nephews, and a village of family and friends. Norma is preceded in death by her

parents: Edley and Cartagena Service;and brothers, Derrick and Marcel.

Norma loved the City of Miramar passionately, and her pride of living within the community is

reflected in her signature remark: "Remember, it's not what your city can do for you, but what

you can do for your city!"

In 2015, Norma wrote the words of the song, "0 Miramar, So Beautiful," (adopting the lyrics of

"America the Beautiful,"as a reminder to us, and as a beautiful tribute to the diversity of the city,

strength of her people and beauty as a place to work, play and raise our families.

We will forever love her and will continue to honor her by carrying on her legacy.In lieu of

MLB star Yasmani Grandal remembers South Florida roots with well-timed donation BY WALTER VILLA MIAMI HERALD WRITER JULY 05, 2021 11:34 AM

Chicago White Sox's Yasmani Grandal reacts as he rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run during the second inning of a baseball game against the Seattle Mariners in Chicago, Friday, June 25, 2021. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh) NAM Y. HUH AP

In 2011, when Yasmani Grandal met Heather — the woman who would become his wife — he told her he worked in construction.

In reality, Grandal at that time was a top minor-league baseball prospect on his way to the majors after starring at Miami Springs High and the University of Miami.

Grandal and Heather had been dating for one year — in Arizona, where she's from and where he was playing Triple A baseball — before he finally told her about his actual career.

"One of the biggest things about 'Yas' is how humble he is," Heather told the Herald. "He doesn't boast or brag. He came to the U.S. from Cuba when he was 10 years old, and he and his family had nothing.

"He wouldn't be in the majors today if people hadn't helped him, and that's the foundation for who he is and why he helps others. He wants kids to have a fighting chance in life."

Grandal, a two-time All-Star catcher who now plays for the Chicago White Sox, has given his time and money to a lot of causes, Heather said, and he doesn't do it to seek publicity.

Carlos Marti, the coach of the Miami-based Florida Legends travel team for players age 18 and under, recently received a $25,000 donation from Grandal.

That money, Marti said, financed a trip to Joplin, Missouri, where the Legends on Sunday qualified for the 12-team Connie Mack World Series, which will be held July 23-31 in Farmington, New Mexico.

"We're extremely grateful to Yas," Marti said. "He didn't even play for the Legends, but he hasn't forgotten his roots in Miami."

Indeed, Grandal played for other youth-league teams like the Miami Stings, Miami Maniacs and Hialeah Heat.

"His parents [Maria and Eliaser Grandal] still have those jerseys and pictures," Heather said.

In other words, those early days in a player's career still carry impact

For the Legends, this will be their 10th trip to the Connie Mack World Series and their fourth in a row. And although they have never won the Mack title, 19 former Legends players have made it to the major leagues, a list that includes Manny Machado, Anthony Rizzo, Albert Almora, Zack Collins, Andrew Suarez, Aramis Garcia, Peter O'Brien and Luke Jackson.

Yet for all those stars, Grandal's donation is the biggest one ever received by the Legends from a baseball player.

That charitable spirit is typical Grandal, according to his agent, Michael Maulini.

"Once every homestand in Chicago, Yas rents a suite and donates it to a low-income family so they can watch the White Sox in style," Maulini said. "Yas has always given back to the community. He just never let it become known publicly. That's not his character."

Heather said she and Maulini were finally able to convince Grandal — who was not available to speak to the Herald for this story due to his busy baseball schedule — that it is OK to take an occasional bow.

Among the causes Grandal supports is autism, working with a group called Arizona Helping Hands. Heather said Grandal loves visiting with autistic kids, and the feeling is mutual.

Meanwhile, Adrian Morales, who went on to win two College World Series titles as South Carolina's starting third baseman, is now the head coach at Miami-Dade College. But in high school, he and Grandal were teammates at Miami Springs.

"Yas donates catching and other gear to us at MDC and to about 10 to 15 Miami high schools," Morales said. "Even though he doesn't play for the Marlins, he is still active in the Miami community.

"He now lives in Arizona and speaks with a heavy American accent. But, other than that, he hasn't changed. He's still that kid from Hialeah."

Rastros y luces: Ambulante visibiliza la realidad de desaparecer en Mexico "Rastros y luces" es el programa del festival Ambulante, que reluce la realidad de las personas que buscan a sus desaparecidos en Mexico.

Por Alexia Stuebing Hoce 2 dins

Publicado en ales/ Mexico / Pais / portada

•0 00

«Rastros y luces» es el ultimo programa que presenta Ambulante, el reconocido festival de cine documental itinerante. Este trata de sacar a la luz la realidad que implica desaparecer en un pais coma Mexico; donde hay casos que Ilevan mas de 40 ahos sin resolver, donde las 100squedas se heredan, donde faltan mds de 84 mil personas desde finales de los sesenta.

Esta serie de documentales tiene coma motor los dos torminos de «rastros» y «luces»: el rastro como esta senal vaga que deja alguien al pasar o indica un suceso del pasado; y la luz como el alma propia del cine y la representacion de la verdad y justicia.

«A partir de la conviction acerca del documental como un espacio para el testimonio y un yehfculo para la justicia; Ambulante pretende poner luz sobre las luchas de las familias, movilizar a las audiencias y tejer redes de apoyo entre publicos, activistas y familiares.»
