Fully leased Cocowalk lifestyle center adds to entertainment BY ABRAHA.M GALVAN Ringing in the new year, CocoWalk continues to add extra layers of enter- tainment experiences to its fully leased lifestyle center. Understanding the demographics of the area and cueating a diverse retailermix of lo- cal, national and international concepts were the main factors to reimagining Coco Walk's 150,000-square-foot open-air destination at 3015 Grand Ave., said Stuart Biel, senior vice president of regional leasing at Federal Realty Investment Trust. "Going into covid, the mantra was that online would kill brick -and -mortar, but what it did was reinvigorate the in -person dining and shopping experience," he said. "When we acquired CocoWalk, our vision was to deliver CocoWalk back to the community, creating an open-air courtyard where locals and visitors can meet up, essentially a com- munity gathering spot." Most recent retailers joining the center Youngest artists displayed their talents at a past Grove Arts Festival. Grove Arts Festival aims to mentor younger artists By ABRAHAM GALVAN Over 100,000 visitors are ex- pected to walk through the gates at this year's Coconut Grove Arts Festival. Starting Feb. 18 at 2700 S Bayshore Dr., the three-day outdoor art festival is celebrating its 59th year and is set to feature over 280 artists and offer some- thing for everyone with culinary displays, live performances and family areas. "This year, we employed a new jury system, whereby we invited artists and other art professionals across the country to view all the applications and we selected those invited based on their scores," said Camille Marchese, the festival's executive director. "And what that does is it brings you a higher quality of art" The Coconut Grove Arts Fes- tival has revamped its emerging artist program to be a more robust mentoring program to help create the next generation of art show artists. Twelve young artists are going to be part of a two-year plan that teaches them how to be roadshow artists. Each artist will have a men- tor and work behind the scenes, with an end goal of having their own art booth the following year at the festival. "The goal is to give this next generation of artists the founda- tion they need to begin their art show careers after completing the second year," Ms. Marchese said. "This is our first year to do something quite this elaborate." The arts festival is also starting a young collectors' club where art- ists have donated small art pieces that children can purchase. "One of the reasons why I have this job today is because my mother took me to an art festival when 1 was 8 years old and let me buy something," Ms. Marchese added. "I believe that as much as we need young artists, we also need young collectors."

Providing locals and visitors with a one - of -a -kind experience, CocoWalk partnered with Candlelight Concert to host its first - ever free community concert series. Set underneath a 60-foot Kapok tree and filled with hundreds of candles, the concert series grand finale is set for Jan. 20, with British Rock band Queen's notable tracks echoing throughout the courtyard. "Historically, the Grove has been known as a creative enclave where musicians would gather," said Brittany Lawrence, CocoW- alk's marketing manager. "Now that it is dubbed as Miami's coolest neighborhood, we are excited to bring music back to the heartoftheGrove,providingourcommunity with a magnificent experience."

Mississippihas the highest child pover- ty rate in the United States at 276%, with Louisiana following at 263%. Zipperer said that many of thee low minimum wage states are concen- trated in the south- ern U.S. for a rea- son. He pointed to the political deals lawmakers made to leave Black workers out of 1930s labor rights gains, which were done for the benefit of southern Democrats. "That legacy of racism plagued the initial years of the national minimum wage and labor law generally in the United States, and while it was some- what improved and overcome through the civil rights movement. you see the parallel to that now where you have a lot of plac- es in the South that don't have mini- mum wages and or have very low min - mum wages, and so they follow the federal standard which Congress has refused to raise over the past 13 years." he said. He added. "That kind of decline in the cost -of -living adjusted value of the minimum wage disproportionately harms the people who are paid the lowest wages in the U.S. economy and. because of our sex- ist and racist labor market, that is wom- en and people of color."

Con la Ilegada el nuevo afio, una interrogante generalizada entre po- tenciales vendedores y compradores es saber como se comportara el mercado inmobiliario en 2023. Para aportar cla- ridad en tan importante tema DIARIO LAS AME- RICAS converse con dos especialistas en bienes raices, quienes compar- tieron sus respectivos puntos de vista. Segun Giovanni Orrego, agente hipotecario de ESSEX Loans Corp, lo principal son las tasas de interes y saber por que suben. "Influyen dos elemen- tos, el primero es la in- flacion y el segundo los valores o titulos respal- dados por hipotecas, si se compran o se venden. La inflacion se esta re- gulando. Alcanzamos el pico de 9.1% a mediado de 2022, en la actualidad baj6 a 7.1%. La bajada de la inflacion fue causada por dos factores: la subida de los tipos de interes oficia- les de la Reserve Federal (FED), a lo largo del aflo, desde o hasta alcanzar los 4.25%, a final de afo. El se- gundo es que se estabiliz6 la cadena de suministros. Antes, no habia que com- prar y eso tambien ha ido regulandose. La nueva si- tuacion ha ayudado a que, paso a peso, la inflacion vaya bajando", argument6. Orrego aclaro que las tasas de interes hipoteca- rio van en paralelo con la inflacion: "A medida que la inflacion subia, los in- tereses hipotecarios as- cendian. El maximo que alcanzamos fue un 7.5%. Sin embargo, hoy dia osci- lan alrededor del 6.75%". "Las personas de bajosingresos,las parejas que ganen entre 60.00o y 70.00o dolares al afio no van a califlcar para un prt5stamo" Este especialista en pres- tamos hipotecarios afirm6 que es basico preguntarnos que va a pasar con la infla- cion de aqui en adelante: "Lo mas seguro es que siga bajando. En la medida que el tiempo pase, las medidas tomadas por la FED segui- ran impactando en la infla- cion y por consecuencia en las tasas hipotecarias". Orrego consider6 opor- tuna explicar que, cuando la FED sube los tipos de in- teres oficiales, no quiere decir que las tasas de in- teres hipotecario subiran. "La FED sube los tipos de interes para combatir la inflacion. Si esta es alta, las tasas hipotecarias tambien to seran", insisti6. Tasasal5% "Lo mas seguro es que el proximo mes de febrero la FED vuelva a subir los tipos de interes, eso no quiere decir que las tasas hipo- tecarias tambien subiran. Todo lo contrario, creo que el proximo mes, las tasas hipotecarias bajaran mas. Estimo que a finales del primer trimestre o en el segundo trimestre de este alto, las tasas de interes hi- potecarias bajaran hasta el 5% como resultado de la ba- jada que experimentara la inflacion", vaticin6 Orrego. "En un mercado sano y estable las tasas de interes hipotecario a 5 0 6% es nor- mal", indica, por su parte, Lourdes Seda, agente in- mobiliaria, con mas de 34 altos de experiencia en su profesien y propietaria de la escuela Lourdes Seda Real Estate School. "Lo que pasa es que, en los ultimos 20 altos, las tasas de interes de los prestamos estuvieron entre un 3 y un 2,75%", explico. Seda considera que el mercado inmobiliario esta en transition: "Cuando, de la noche a la maltana, los intereses hipotecarios se dispararon al 7%, caen muchisimas transaccio- nes que estaban a punto de cerrar.

There is one big reason why WV CHARLES RABIN ortRORta",anaLcom A year after COVID-19 infiltrated police depart- ments from Key West to Tallahassee and drove on -duty deaths to previous- ly unseen levels, there was upbeat news on the health front for law -enforcement agencies. In 2022, 10 officers were killed at work in Florida — one of them succumbing to COVID, according to a webslte that tracks police fatalities That's an enor- mous fall -off from the 63 on -duty statewide deaths in 2021; 85% were caused by COVID-19. "The science is petty clear. The vaccine has low- ered hospitalizations and death," said University of Miami criminology profes- sor Alex Piquero, who also serves as the U.S. govern. merit's director of the Bu- reau of justice Statistics. "And these are people who worked day in and day out and couldn't take time off. At the height of the pan- demic, they still had to respond and do their jobs" There were still tragedies Three of the officers killed duty in 2022 were in South Florida, all in Miami - Dade County. A state law - enforcement officer was killed in a car crash. A fed- eral agent lost his life dur- ing an accidental shooting at a practice range. And Miami -Dade Police Det. Cesar "Kelly" Edtaveny was killed in August during a shoaoat with a suspected anted robber. Thanks to vaccines and less fatal variants of the disease, long gone are the days when up to 40% of sworn officers at a large local agency were sidelined because of COVID-19 and when an entire motorcycle squad had to be quarantin- ed because a foreign digni- tary tested positive. "The way we do business has changed," said South Florida Police Benevolent Association President Steadman Stahl. "A lot of our people have been vacci- nated and we're doing things differently, like avoiding contact. Some of us are even ring masks. Hospitalizations have spiked recently, but the numbers for us are way down." By all accounts, 2021 was one of the most brutal years that police depart- ments around the nation have ever suffered. A total of 669 officers lost their lives in the line of duty with 71% of those deaths attributed to COVID, ac- cording to the Officer Down Memorial Page. In 2022, the number of on -duty fatalities plummet- ed to 228, with only 32% of those deaths attributed to the disease. Several other states — including Cali- fornia, New York and Geor- gia — had similar line -of - duty death totals to Flor- ida's 10. Only Texas with 33, stood out. Of thou, 17 were attributed to COVID and oast of thou deaths occurred early in 2022. SOUTH FLORIDA Of Florida's 10 on -duty deaths, six were attributed to car crashes and the other four were caused by gun- fire, two of them inad- venently, police deter- mined. Locally, the first of the three deaths was in August, when Miami -Dade Det. Echaveny died a few days after being shot in Liberty City. Echaverry, 29, a member in the departments elite Robbery Intervention De- tail, was one of a number of RID detectives who thought they had suspected amned- robber jemme Willie Hor- ton, 32, contained on a street. After a lengthy standoff in which he refused to get out of his car, Honors took o8, smashing through cop art Police chased. Horton ditched his car after hitting a light pole a few blocks way. During the foot chase there was gunfva back and forth. Bah Horton and Echaverry were hit. The officer's death was the fuss of an RID detective in its 26-year history. Three days later, lose Antonio Pere; 55, died three weeks after getting into a wreck while on his way to a burglary call in Northwest Miami -lade. The major and toner Marine was killed after colliding with Ysmael Javier Sandoval, 35, at the intersection of Northwest 127th Avenue and Seventh Terrace. Sandoval, who police said tested positive for booze and cocaine, was charged with vehicular homicide. Finally, on Oct. 19, U.S. Customs and Border Pro- tection agent Jorge Arias, 40, was killed by what Investigators said was accidental gunfire by a fellow agent during • training session at a West Miami -Dade gun range. Both were instructors. Law -enforcement sources said the agent who shot Arias and who hasn't been identified, exdranged his training weapon with his real gun during a bath- room break and forgot when the two later took part in a role -paying me - nano involving "lose -quarter combat."
