SUNDAY FEBRUARY 6 2022 UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI I NEIGHBORS UM returns to on -campus classes after remote start amid housing shortages, mask issues BY EMMALYSE BROWNSTEIN CommunityWirc.Miami University of Miami students returned to in - person classes Monday, Jan. 31, after the highly contagious omicron variant prompted administrators to shift to online instruction for the first two weeks of the spring semester. "We are excited and ready to retum to a more conventional academic semester," said Jeffrey Duerk, provost and exec- utive vice president for academic affairs. "The number of cases of CO- VID-19 are now rapidly declining, and we are con- fident we will be able to complete the remainder of the semester in person." Between Jan. 19 and Jan. 26, 253 students and facul- ty across campuses tested positive, according to the university's COVID Dash- board. Between Aug. 15 and Jan. 3, which includes last semester, the uni- versity recorded 2,684 positive cases. Junior Shayma Ham- moud Fuentes said she is ready to return to the class- room. "It's been hard creating bonds with professors," said Hammoud Fuentes, a public health and psycholo- gy major. "I really like being able to go to the classes rather than having to attend them from my computer. I feel like I'm learning better." Although classes were online, students were al- lowed to return to their dormitories — residential colleges — at the start of the semester. IN After the spring semester started remotely for two weeks amid COVID surge, UM opened its classroom doors to students and faculty. CAMPUS HOUSING SHORTAGE But a shortage of on - campus housing caused the university to place some new students — mostly freshmen starting college in the spring instead of fall — in hotels and done study lounges that were converted into rooms. Forty-four stu- dents were assigned to the converted study lounges in Stanford Residential Col- lege, according to the uni- versity. Stephanie Perillo and her roommate, a freshman, are living in one on the third floor. "It was so frustrating because they told me where I was living and who my roommate was five days before I was supposed to come here," said Perillo, who is from Somerset County, New Jersey, and just started at UM in the spring semester. Another 120 new stu- dents are being housed in THesis, an apartment com- plex and hotel about a half mile from the Coral Gables campus, and Miami Mar- riott Dadeland, over three miles away, the university said. "I'm really happy I'm not in a hotel," Perillo said. "I would be so upset because this is my only semester to live in a freshman dorm and at least I got to experi- ence that." The university said stu- dents in the overflow hotels will be relocated to campus "as quickly as on -campus rooms become available," but those in the converted study lounges will not be reassigned. "The demand for a Uni- versity of Miami education is at an all-time high, and the university welcomed a larger -than -typical class of incoming residents for the spring 2022 semester," university officials said in an email. In the meantime, all displaced students re- ceived a discount on their housing bill for the semes- ter. Those in the hotels receive daily food vouch- ers and will be shuttled to and from campus for classes each day. Whether in hotels or not, all students must comply with the universi- ty's COVID testing policy, which required them to test negative within 48 to 72 hours of arrival on cam- pus, regardless of vaccina- tion status. They must continue to test twice per week during the semester if they are unvaccinated. About 85% of students across all campuses are fully vaccinated, which the university now defines as having received three doses of a COVID vaccine, UM said. Masks are "mandatory in all indoor public and common spaces and are strongly encouraged out- doors in group settings," according to the latest email sent to students confirming in -person classes Monday. STUDENTS NOT COMPLYING WITH MASK MANDATES Lilian Bravo, a resident assistant in charge of one floor of freshmen at Stan- ford, said many students don't wear face coverings in her dorm. "It doesn't matter how many masks we offer; it doesn't matter how many warnings we give, they don't care," Bravo said. "If I had to write an incident report for every person I see without a mask in the building ... I wouldn't live. Like, I would not have a life." Scotney Evans, an asso- ciate professor in the School of Education and Human Development, said he is also concerned with mask complacency, espe- cially in shared spaces like the Herbert Wellness Cen- ter, the on -campus fitness center. "There was a pretty large group of students wearing masks around their chins even though it is clearly communicated that masks are required and are to be worn correct- ly in all indoor spaces," Evans said about one workout experience there last week. "The staff did their best to get students to comply, but masks re- turned to the chins when staff walked away." Evans, president of the UM chapter of the Amer- ican Association of Uni- versity Professors, said he I 17SE is nevertheless optimistic about the university's response to keep the cam- pus community safe. "I've been pretty critical of UM administrative decisions in the past," Evans said. "But I do feel like we are all doing the best we can under the circumstances to balance the safety needs of the university population and surrounding community with our commitment to deliver quality leaming experiences and some semblance of a vibrant campus life for students."

Hannon Grefyevil la 20NE I THE VIRUS CRISIS NEIGHBORS I Stop using these COVID tests, FDA warns. There's a `higher risk' of false positives BY JULIA MARNIN McCiatchy There's a "serious" re- call for some COVID-19 tests distributed with mis- leading labeling saying they're authorized by the Food and Drug Adminis- tration when they're not, the agency is warning. The FDA is urging everyone to stop using two tests made by U.S. compa- ny Empowered Diagnos- tics - the CovClear CO- VID-19 Rapid Antigen Test and ImmunoPass CO- VID-19 Neutralizing Anti- body Rapid Test. "Neither test has been authorized, cleared, or approved by the FDA for distribution or use in the United States," the agency said in a Jan. 28 news release, adding it's "con- cerned about the poten- tially higher risk of false results when using unau- thorized tests." The warning comes as the coronavirus omicron variant continues to spread and dominate posi- tive virus cases in America for the past six weeks as of Feb. 1, according to Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention data. Empowered Diagnostics initiated the recall of their two tests on Dec. 22 and the FDA "has identified this issue as a Class I re- call, the most serious type of recall." Getting a false positive result from the CovClear COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test — a nasal swab sam- ple test — when you're feeling sick but don't have COVID-19 "may lead to a delay in both the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment for the actual cause of a person's illness, which could be another life -threatening disease," the FDA warns. Additionally, getting a egirl CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, will hold a public hearing on Thursday, February 17, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. to consider on final reading the following proposed Ordinances: An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Amending Chapter 6 of the City of Sunny Isles Beach Code of Ordinances to Provide for the Establishment of a Youth Advisory Committee; Stating the Purpose, Powers, and Duties of the Committee; Providing for Member Qualifications; Providing for Repealer, Providing for Severability; Providing for Codification; Providing for an Effective Date. An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Amending Chapter 99 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Sunny Isles Beach Titled "Public Health and Safety" to Create Article V, Titled "Regulation of the Release of Balloons"; Providing for a Prohibition on the Intentional Release of Balloons; Providing for Penalties; Providing for Severability; Providing for Conflicts; and Providing for an Effective Date. Inquiries regarding these items may be directed to the City Clerk at 305-792-1703. A copy of the proposed documents is available for public inspection during normal business hours in City Hall. Mauricio Betancur, CMC, City Clerk The hearing on these matters may be continued at this meeting and under such circumstances, additional legal notice would not be provided. If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the City Commission with respect to any matter considered at such meeting, they will need a record of the proceedings and, for such purpose, may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings Is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. This notice does not constitute consent by the City for introduction or admission of otherwise inadmissible or irrelevant evidence, nor does it authorize challenges or appeals not otherwise allowed by law. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, all persons who are disabled and who need special accommodations to participate in this meeting because of that disability should contact the City Clerk at 305-947-0606, no later than 48 hours prior to the proceedings. negative result when you're actually COVID-19 positive "may lead to delayed diagnosis or inap- propriate treatment of SARS-CoV-2, which may cause people harm in- cluding serious illness and death," the agency said. Seeing a false positive from the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test — a fingerstick blood sample test — can mislead a per- son into thinking they have antibodies against the virus when they don't, according to the FDA. This "could lead test users to take fewer pre- cautions to protect them- selves from" infections in the future. A false negative result signals that a person doesn't have antibodies to COVID-19 when they do, the agency said. If you or someone you know have used either recalled test by Empo- wered Diagnostics, the agency suggests raising concerns with a healthcare provider. Health workers who've tested patients using the rapid antigen test "less than two weeks ago (should) consider retesting your patients using an SUNDAY FEBRUARY 6 2012 FDA authorized SARS- CoV-2 diagnostic test," the FDA advises. Those who've tested patients with the antibody rapid test are advised to "con- sider retesting" patients with an FDA authorized antibody test. If you've had issues using any COVID-19 test, the agency encourages you to report it. The FDA lists a number of antigen diagnostic tests authorized for emergency use and the full list can be viewed at https:// www.fda.gov/ medical -devices/ coronavirus-disease- 2019-covid-19- emergency-use- authorizations-medical- devices/in-vitro- diagnostics-euas-antigen- diagnostic-tests-sars- cov-2.

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 6 2022 THE VIRUS CRISIS I NEIGHBORS Stop using these COVID tests, FDA warns. There's a `higher risk' of false positives BY JULIA MARNBN McCiatchy There's a "serious" re- call for some COVID-19 tests distributed with mis- leading labeling saying they're authorized by the Food and Drug Adminis- tration when they're not, the agency is warning. The FDA is urging everyone to stop using two tests made by U.S. compa- ny Empowered Diagnos- tics - the CovClear CO- VID-19 Rapid Antigen Test and ImmunoPass CO- VID-19 Neutralizing Anti- body Rapid Test. "Neither test has been authorized, cleared, or approved by the FDA for distribution or use in the United States," the agency said in a Jan. 28 news release, adding it's "con- cerned about the poten- tially higher risk of false results when using unau- thorized tests." The warning comes as the coronavirus omicron variant continues to spread and dominate posi- tive virus cases in America for the past six weeks as of Feb. 1, according to Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention data. Empowered Diagnostics initiated the recall of their two tests on Dec. 22 and the FDA "has identified this issue as a Class I re- call, the most serious type of recall." Getting a false positive result from the CovClear COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test — a nasal swab sam- ple test — when you're feeling sick but don't have COVID-19 "may lead to a delay in both the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment for the actual cause of a person's illness, which could be another life -threatening disease," the FDA warns. Additionally, getting a ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF MIAMI ALEXIA FODERE For the Miami Herald A BLESSING FOR BIKERS Archbishop Thomas Wenski gives a blessing at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in South Miami on Jan. 30 during his annual Motorcycle Ride to benefit St. Luke's Center, an addiction treatment facility. Dozens of riders left after celebrating Mass and rode to Peterson's Harley Davidson South in Homestead. negative result when you're actually COVID-19 positive "may lead to delayed diagnosis orinap- propriate treatment of SARS-CoV-2, which may cause people harm in- cluding serious illness and death," the agency said. Seeing a false positive from the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test — a fingerstick blood sample test — can mislead a per- son into thinking they have antibodies against the virus when they don't, according to the FDA. This "could lead test users to take fewer pre- cautions to protect them- selves from" infections in the future. A false negative result signals that a person doesn't have antibodies to COVID-19 when they do, the agency said. If you or someone you know have used either recalled test by Empo- wered Diagnostics, the agency suggests raising concerns with a healthcare provider. Health workers who've tested patients using the rapid antigen test "less than two weeks ago (should) consider retesting your patients using an I 15NW FDA authorized SARS- CoV-2 diagnostic test," the FDA advises. Those who've tested patients with the antibody rapid test are advised to "con- sider retesting" patients with an FDA authorized antibody test. If you've had issues using any COVID-19 test, the agency encourages you to report it. The FDA lists a number of antigen diagnostic tests authorized for emergency use and the full list can be viewed at https:// www.fda.gov/ medical -devices/ coronavirus-disease- 2019-covid-19- emergency-use- authorizations-medical- devices/in-vitro- diagnostics-euas-antigen- diagnostic-tests-sars- cov-2.

Hannon #38482 City Clerk 14 MAN TODAY TODAY'S NEWS WEEK OF THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3. 2022 Transportation trust has list of unfilled promises, exiting member laments BY GABRIELA HENRIQUEZ STOIKOW "W hateverwecan dotomovethis lethargic county forward and fulfill the promises from 20 years ago, my gosh, let's do it," said Glenn J. Downing, representative of District 11 in the Citizen's Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) board meeting last week in final remarks before stepping down after 12 years as a member. He recalled many unfulfilled promises from the 2002 countywide vote that approved the People's Transportation Plan and the half penny transp ortationsurtax. Hesaid he wished Director Eulois Cleckley oftheDepamnentofFranspot on and Public Works (DTPW) the best. He recognized that the county has new rail cars and a brand-new bus fleet. "The system is as 1 perceive it in a state of good repair now," Mr. Downing said. Nonetheless he said, many promises remain to fulfill. In June 2021, DTPW said in a press note the dspattrnent would expand its electric Metrobus fleet to include 42 additional buses, for a total of75 electric Protera buses and 75 Pro - terra chargers to be installed among three bus depots. Miami Today reported lastAugust that 136 brand-new rail cars were muting along the tracks. Efforts to renew the rail system began in November 2012, when the county contracted with Hitachi Rail Italy to renew the 31-yearold fleet then operating. But Mr. Downing proceeded last week to list what is still left to do. "Mdrorail shouldhavegoneto the airport. It didn't. It went outside the airport. Why? I'm sure somebody said it couldn't be done and it was too expensive,"hesaid Heunderscored that the South Dade transitway should have been bifurcated to be rail to a certain point "1 get it. It doesn't make sense to run trainsthrough familandandthen you do the busway beneath that. But itwasn't, they didn 't even study that. Why? Because there wasn't a will to build a rail there in the first place," Mr. Downing said. Then he highlighted the North Corridor. "TPO [Transportation Plarming Organization] has said rail is the best alternative there, and do you, Mr. Chair, do you see any push to organize and gather the funding to see this built?" he asked Chairman Oscar Braynon. "I haven't seen it at all" Theprojectiscunently' onhold," a website ofthe Florida Department of Transnortation (FDOT) details. Plato by 11U.. nuamN "Metrorall should have gone to the airport," Glenn Downing stated. In October 2019, TPO selected elevated heavy rail transit as the locally preferred alternative for the North Corridor. DTPW initiated a request for proposals in April 2020. He also criticized plans for a monorail in the Beach Corridor. "We're about to get a monorail that nobody's ever going to use ormaybe, God willing, we won't get it now since the parent company [Genting] can't afford to pay its fuel bills for the ships," he said. in November 2021 the CITT almost rejects the planned mainland- Miami Beach partial monorail in a 6-5 vote. The failed motion had urged the countyandTPO to ensurethat the Beach Condo of the six -corridor rapid transit Smart Plan is built dif- ferently to maximize ridership.

Hannon #38482 City Clerk Genting and partners, to develop a monorail in a P3 deal with the county. "The City of Miami seems to be having trouble spending all of its money, yet the Brickefl Loop [of the Metromover] is not complete," Mr. Downing said "Why? In what world is this acceptable to leave this incomplete? Why wasn't it ever finished? And they have the money to do it" Mr. Downing suggested modify- ing the half penny legislation, as about 20% of the surtax funds go to transit in municipalities, and small cities such as Virginia Gardens, for example, don't have anything to spend the money on. "That whole legislation needs to get rethought, but then if it gets rethought you've got the ch anceth at it'll all get undone and the county will undo this trust and take the funds back, and that's something 1 want to warn you about trralise the county thinks this halfpenny surtax is its money and it is not," he said. "These are trust funds." He complained ofa lack of lead- ership in the county. Mr. Downing recalled the leadership of former CITT Executive Director, Charles D. Scurr, who helped the Smart Plan move forward."Otherthan that, who else has put forward any proposal? Therehasn'tbeenanybody,"hesaid "They all come into office saying ' we want to bull d our transit systdn.' The people voted for it and 20 years later it's still not done. Just makes me shake my head." Finally, he told his fellow trustees that they should get the nomencla- ture of their role right and move meetings back to afternoon — the meetings have been held from 5-8 p.m. Mr. Downing also said the county should separate as different departments transit from public works and the county commission create an independent transit agency. "Whatever we can do to move this lethargic county forward and fiilfill the promises from 20 years ago, let's do it," he said. "There's collected wisdom here; I hope I've left you with a little bit of mine." Doral cutting down alcohol serving hours Doral restaurants and nightlife establishments are soon to adhere to revised alcoholic beverage regulations — with a 2 a.m. alcohol sales cutoff. During last week's city council zoning meeting, officials moved forward with an updated alcoholic beverage regulation changing sales closing time from 3:50 a.m. to 2 a.m. for all adult entertainment businesses, such as bars, restaurants and nightlife venues. "We've modified the hours, which really isn't that significant, where we've moved everything to two o'clock in the morning," said CityAttorney Luis Figueredo ofthe ordinance, which was last modified in 2016. "Now, those businesses can get an extended hours permit to allow them to go to 3:50 a.m." There will be criteria that now have to be satisfied to get the extended hours permit, such as a security plan and code compliance policies thatmust now be approved by the Police Department and city staff; Mr. Luis Figueredo said. "If you have a certain amount of violations, and let's say in a 30-day period, you will have that license suspended, the thinking being that is we wanttoencouragecompliance and we want to minimize vandali sm and 911 calls between 2 and 4 in the morning," he said. Those viola- tions might include light and noise from music or patrons that might disturb surrounding properties and neighborhoods, he said. Once the city comlcil has ap- proved the initial extended hours application, theannual renewal may be approved administrativel y by the city manager. The pemtit must be renewed annually by Oct. 1. Discussions to update Doral's alcohol beverage regulations and hour sales were brought up to the city council after Miami Beach residents in a November 2021 non -binding referendum approved halting hours for alcohol sales in the city at 2 a.m., with a 56.52% approval by voters. "1 want to thank staff, because a lotof work has been done wi th this in avert' shortperiod oftime, which is something th at's veryimportant for our community," said Doral Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez.

Entre ellos hay medicos, entrenadores deportivos, musicos, ar- quitectos, marineros y camareros de cruceros de lujo. Exporter mano de obra barata es un ne- gocio de vieja de data de la dictadura verde olivo en Cuba. En wig el regi- men ingres6 8.50o millo- nes de d6lares solo por la exportaci6n de servicios medicos. Ss apropian salaries Un reputado cirujano, cuenta a DIARIO LAS AMERICAS que, en sus tres afios de trabajo en Qatar, el gobierno le page menos del quince por ciento de su sueldo. "Mi salario era de io.000 d6 lares. Me pagaban 1.300 d6lares al mes para gas- tos en un pais donde una botella de agua mineral cuesta cinco d6lares. Y era, junto a los medi- cos en misien en Brasil, de los mejores pagados, porque otros colegas co- braban entre un cinco al diez por ciento de sus sa- larios en divisas". "En los 18 ados que tra146 para una empresa extranjera, el gobierno cubano se quedd con el 98% de mi salario" El cirujano considera que "por el desconoci- miento juridico y la ne- cesidad que tenemos en Cuba de ganar algunos (Wares para resolver el mont6n de problemas acumulados en nues- tras families, las autori- dades se aprovechan de esa necesidad y te ofre- cen contratos con condi- ciones leoninas. Luego te dicen que to invierten en Salud Publica, pero los hospitales, en su mayo- ria, ester' deteriorados y sin el equipamiento ade- cuado". Un ex funcionario de la Corporation CIMEX ex- plica que "ese entramado de empresas dedicado a la recaudaci6n de divisas a traves de sus artimafias financieras fue disefiado por especialistas del Ministerio del Interior (MININT), asesorados personalmente por Fidel Castro. Una parte de ese dinero se utilize para fi- nancier la subversion en America Latina y Africa. Expertos de Ia STASI de la antigua Alemania del Este y la KGB sovietica adiestraron a los servi- cios especiales cubanos en estrategias pars ingre- sar divisas y evadir el em- bargo de Estados Unidos. Oficiales de la inteligencia cubana montaron bases en Panama, Canada, Ma- drid, Mexico, entre otras ciudades, y crearon una amplia red de empresas offshore en paraisos fis- cales con las divisas que obtenian de las remesas familiares o exportaci6n de servicios", afirma el exfuncionario y agrega: "Una parte del capital se empleaba en comprar bie- nes que luego se vendian con impuestos de circu- laci6n de haste un 300%. Los beneficios se utilize - ban pare diversos fines. Desde financier la cons- trucci6n del centro de bio- tecnologia, comprar armas de segunda mano para las guerrillas de El Salvador, hasta la construction de hotelesy centros turisticos en Cuba". "Para llegar a fin de mes tengo que hacer malabares. No pienso retirarme. Seguir6 combinando mi trabajo con la elaboraci6n de empanadas" Otra forma de captar di - visas en negro es mediante el trabajo esclavo de pre- sos comunes. Se calcula que en la Isla existen al- rededor de 200 prisiones. Cuba es la sexta nation del planeta en per capita de presos por habitante. El regimen reconocib en 2013 que la poblaci6n penal rondaba los 57.000 reclusos. La disidencia local afirma que la cifra puede acercarse a los 70.000. Las carceles cuba- nas son rigurosas. El mal- trato corporal y los abusos de los guardias peniten- ciarios son habituales. Manuel, un mulato que tiene como segunda casa la prisi6n, conoce el mapa penitenciario de Cuba como pocos. Ha estado tras las rejas seis veces por diversos delitos menores. "Entre reclusorios y pri- siones de maxima seguri- dad he estado en quince dependencies, entre ella TRABAJOESCLAVO Empresas militares como Provari esttn a la cabeza en la explotaci6n laboral y el trabajo cautivo de los presos en Cuba.

"He trabajado mes de dote horas diaries cortando cafia o marabti y en un taller con- feccionando pantalones de mezclilla de mamas pirates. Nos pagaban una miseria, 200 pesos al mes. Y de ese dinero nos descontaban el aseo, las colchas y &thanes que nos daban. Al final co- brabas menos de 8o pesos, casi gratis". Los que mks sufren las duras condiciones del tra- bajo esclavo en las carceles cubanas son las personas de raza negra. Seglin es- tadisticas oficiales, el 88% de la poblaci6n penal es negra o mestiza. Y un 3o por ciento suele reincidir y regresar a prisi6n.
