Elon Musk is apparently living large at
Mar-a-Lago these days. Here's what we know
ay MADELE1NE NAaa
.eanp.,a.YnW. ro,.
When you're the richest
person on the planet, you
just don't just lay your
head any old place.
We're of course talking
about Elon Musk, who, as
of Thursday afternoon,
was worth a staggering
$405 billion, according to
Forbes' real time ticker.
While there are rumors
floating around that the
South African -American
mega mogul is eyeing a
penthouse
pad in West
Palm
Beach, his
home away
aEa r� from home
these days
Elon Musk is appar-
ently Mar-
a-Lago.
The New York Times
reports the Space X/Tesla
founder rents out a luxury
suite at Donald Tnunp's
member's-only property.
Makes sense. Musk has
been logging a lot of time
at there as unofficial
"First Buddy" and in-
coming co-head of of the
Department of Govern-
ment Efficiency, aka
DOGE.
Tr unp's largest cam-
paign donor has been
crashing at the 62,500-
square-foot, 17-acre South
Florida estate almost full
time since right around
Election Day, the outlet
adds. He sleeps at the
Banyan Cottage, which
cams upward of 62,000 a
night.
The cottage is near the
residential part of the
compound where Trump
camps out while at his so
called winter White
House. It's also within
walking distance to such
club "privileges" as a
swimming pool, spa, five
clay tennis courts, croquet
court and beach club with
restaurant.
Though we found no
pictures of Musk's tempo-
rary crib on the resort's
website, all the suites are
described as having "or-
nately carved and hand -
painted Moorish ceilings,
spectacular ocean views
from balconies and veran-
das with antique Spanish -
tiled mosaics."
Musk's suite is said to
also said to be outfitted
with multiple appliances,
but apparently he doesn't
do much cooking. As per
the Times, the father of 11
— who just attended
Trump's New Year's Eve
party at Mar-a-lago's
Grand Ballroom with his 4
year old son X — often
makes meal requests out-
side of the kitchen staffs
working hours.
As for Musk's other
home? After selling off
most of his teal estate
portfolio during the pan-
demic, the 53-year-old
revealed in the summer of
2021 that he was living in
a tiny prefab house in
Boca Chica, Texas, near
Space% headquarters.
"Ito kinda awesome,"
he wane in a post on his
platform, formerly known
as Twitter.

TALLAHASSEE
A Jacksonville resident
who said a Thompson
company pulled a sudden
COat increase extortion on
him during a move from
Fort Lauderdale forward-
ed to the Herald an Oct.
16, 2023, email he re-
ceived from Florida De-
partment of Agriculture
and Consumer Services'
Chief of Mediation and
Enforcement W. Alan
Parkinson that said:
"...we've received 98
complaints since the be-
ginning of 2022 against
Thompson Nation Hold-
ings LLC. We have re-
ferred a case to our In-
vestigative Section for
review based upon the
complaints we've re-
eived."
FDACS has yet to act
against Thompson, but
Miami -Dade online court
records say the state agen-
cy's general counsel office
requested certified copies
of the Miami -Dade case's
final judgment; the perma-
nent injunction against
Thompson, 'Thompson
Nation Holdings and
Small Move Movers that
says, in short, any repeat
of the fraudulent behavior
will be considered con-
tempt of court; and the
deposition of Nicollette
Gonzalez.
Gonzalez fded the Mia-
mi -Dade suit after she
didn't pay 53,243 of extra
charges fora Miami -to-
Gainesville move and
Thompson hid her furni-
ture and clothes. The
judgment awarded her
S7,619 plus attorney's
fees.

correcting a mass injustice.
The cases were invalidated
in 1993, but the convictions
were never formally vacat-
ed, meaning they could
still be used to keep people
from voting, finding work
and getting a place to live.
The records of the ar-
rests are old enough that
the state no longer has a
legal obligation to retain
them.
"I am of the opinion that
the state has an ethical
duty and obligation to
correct this injustice before
destruction (of old records)
is initiated," Pryor wrote in
a letter to Tony before
going public with the case -

In the initial announce-
ment, the State Attomey's
Office said those aff fed
did not need to contact
prosecutors about then
cases, promising to review
the records and fde the
documents needed to
vacate the arrests and
convictions. Those who
believe they are affected
can ca11954-831-6543 or
email ca viewkahro-
wardsao.com, but all the
cases will be identified and
cleared regardless of
whether the office is con-
tacted.
As puny as 2,600 cases
could be affected, accord-
ing to a State Attorney's
Office estimate.

a "Bobby" called from

claiming they now owed
$8,434. Claybome said
that after the movers ar-
rived, she told them she
was going to the bank for

wrote. "I left my house,

ordered to give us our

"I should mention that
the movers arrived with a

They literally tossed our

Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban

HALELUYA
HADERO AND
ROCHELLE L. PRICE
The Inward Press
President-elect Donald
Trump asked the Su-
preme Court on Friday
to pause the potential
TikTok ban from go-
ing into effect until
his administration can
pursue a "political res-
olution" to the issue.
The request came
as TikTok and the
Biden administration
filed opposing briefs
to the court, in which
the company argued
the court should strike
down a law that could
ban the platform by
Jan. 19 while the gov-
ment emphasized
its n position that the
statute is needed to
eliminate national
security risk.
"President Trump
takes no position o
the underlying mer-
its of this dispute.
Instead. he respect-
fully requests that
the Court consider
staying the Act's dead-
line for divestment of

it considers the mer-
its its of this case: said
Trump's amicus brief.
which supported nei-
ther party in the cue
and was written by D.
John Sauer, Trump's
choice for solicitor
general.
The argument sub -
milled to the court is
the latest example of
Trump inserting him-
self in national issues
before he takes office.
The Republican presi-
dent-elect has already
begun negotiating
with other countries
over his plans to im-
pose tariffs, and he
intervened earlier this
month in a plan to
fund the federal gov-
ernment. calling for a
bipartisan plan to be
rejected and sending
Republicans back to
the negotiating table.
Trump has reversed
his position on the
popular app, having
tried to ban it during
his first term in other
over national security
He joined
the TikTok during his
2024 presidential cam-
paign and his team
used it to connect
with younger voters,
especially male vot-
es, by pushing con-
tent that was often
macho and aimed at
going viral.
He said earlier this
year that he still be-
lieved there were na-
tional s ssed Congress

come ahead of oral

North Corridor rail plan deletes a station on college's land
The cost of long-awaited North
Corridor commuter rail to Hard
Rock Stadium has risen again, its
use has been put off again, and it no
longer will have a station promised
on Miami Dade College's North
Campus, the Citizens' Independent
Transportation Trust has learned
Furthermore, every earlier study
of the system is being repeated. So
now rail completion is estimated
for 2037, a year later than Nilia
Cartaya of the Florida Department
of Transportation had told the trust
in May, an update shows.
Her May presentation had put the
capital cost of the lO-mile elevated
Metmrail extension with eight sta-
tions and seven park -and -ride sites
at $1.9 billion. By December the
cost was up to $2.2 billion and is
destined to rise: "We'll come back
to this body with an updated figure
in the next few months," she said.
The tout oversees county trans-
portation sales tax receipts, which
together with the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) and the state
are to fund the tail line.
Steps to build the North Corridor
were frozen after the county in 2022
pulled the plug on a call for public -
private rail partners. That detour to
private developers and then back
again had left state studies dormant
from May 2020 to November 2022.
"We are taking a fresh look at
all of these items as we are moving
forward," including planned use of
Meaorail itself on the condor and
"the ideal locations for the transit
stations," Ms. Cartaya told the trust
last month.
But one station's location drew
trust fire for a shift from a once -
promised college campus site to the
center of Northwest 27th Avenue.
"Ourstation in2019was [planned]
oncollege property,'"saidtrustmem-
ber Harry Hoffman. "So how are
students going to get to the campus?"
"We would of course look at
pedestrian connections at the street
level and of course we would"
work to encourage the nation's
most -attended public college system
"to implement a shuttle service to
provide that," Ms. Cartaya replied.
Mr. Hoffrnan,anewtrustmember
who had been dean of academic af-
fairs at the college's North Campus
and later president of the Home-
stead Campus, recalled that many
issues Ms. Cartaya was relating to
the tout had been discussed and
decided before the state was asked
to terminate planning for the route
in November 2022, and now work
has begun again.
The public, he said, had been
told that all decisions were made
"except, guess what, we don't have
the money. So I'm skeptical of what
you're showing here is ever going to
come out to reality because we've
gone through this once and now
we're going through it a second
time."
Causeway express buses coming
Miami -Dade officials areevaluat-
ingschedulingandserviceofexpmss
buses on the inside shoulder lanes of
the Julia Tuttle Causeway from the
Golden Glades Multimodal Termi-
nal linking the Earlington Heights
Metrorail Station and the Miami
Beach Convention Center.
Construction of the inside shoul-
der lanes for buses began in May
2023 and was being wrapped up at
the end of 2024, Gabriela Serrado,
chief of infrastructure planning for
the Department of Transportation
and Public Works, told the Citizens'
Independent Transportation Trust
"We are trying to implement a
direct system, a traditional bus route
system during peak hours" during
the next rollout of changes in the
county's Better Bus Network, she
told the trust in December. Those
changes are made in waves sched-
uled several times a year.
Mount Sinai Medical Center on
Miami Beach is to be serviced by
buses in this corridor as well, the 36
and 150 express, she said. The new
route would be the third one using
the shoulder of the causeway over
Biscayne Bay.
The Florida Department of
Transportation has finished the con-
struction, she said, and the county is
waiting for the green light from the
state to begin regular service.

`There's quite a few
students that live in the
area. And I can assure
you that they have no
idea that the train sta-
tion that was going to be
on the [campus], that was
going to be multi -retail
and have a gym and so
forth, ain't any more.'
Harry Hoffman
"This is where the taxpayer re-
ally gets hit for this project," Mr.
Hoffman said. "The college will
have a shuttle to bring them to the
campus? I don't understand that. It
doesn't make any sense to me at all."
After crafting a plan that everyone
accepted but was short of funding,
"now we're going to do this thing
all over again."
Mr. Hoffman, who represents
county commission district 11,
served by Commissioner Roberto
Gonzalez, pointed to the probable
impact of what he was hearing on
elected officials.
"There are elected officials in that
area that need to be made aware of
that we've already gone down the
road on this and now we're going
down a second time, and if they're
elected by the people that live in that
area, they ought to know that they are
wasting the taxpayers' money going
down this the second time," he said
"The fast time they were ready to go,
they had everything done "
"We will be going out to the
community, so we'll definitely —,"
Ms. Cartaya started to reply before
Mr. Hoffman cut her off to say "Oh,
you'd better make sure you have a
strong drink before you do that, be-
cause you will have people coming
out of the woodwork to say, What is
this? Why are you changing? What
happened?"
Ms. Cartaya said she expects the
state to seek stakeholder and public
comments on the plans late this year.
"Good luck," said Mr. Hoffman.
"Every time something gets
scrapped for one reason or another
it's like a brand-new project," trust
Chairman Robert Wolfarth said,
"and all those [planning, design &
engineering] studies, all those con-
sultants. You're right, the taxpayers
are paying for it"
"1 have a selfish reason" for
questioning North Condor plans,
said Mr. Hoffman. "I want to see
that ... people can take the train to
North Campus. There's quite a few
students that live in the area. And I
can assure you that they have no idea
that the train station that was going to
be on the [campus], that was going
to be multi -retail and have a gym
and so forth, ain't any more. Now
you're going to be in the middle of
27thAvenue, and you've got to cross
over to get onto the campus...."
"And by the way," he continued,
"does your go up to the football
stadium, your plan?"
"Yes, we do,"Ms. Cartaya replied
"And your station's going to be
in the middle of 27th Avenue?" he
asked
"So for the stadium," she said,
"we're working through that and
we're nArst likely going to have
the station on stadium property, but
"So how come they can have
the station on the stadium property
there,"Mr. Hoffmanasked,"but they
can't on the college?"
"So, again," she replied, "all of
this will be fleshed out and we'll
definitely be going out to our stake-
holders and our community and
gathering feedback."
"There's still an opportunity for
the public to weigh in," said Mr.
Wolfarth, who added, "I don't un-
derstand the reason."

ro Commission,
now the
County Commission.
"Yes, Anita! I want to
help you bring America
back to God and morality,"
read a fundraising card.
Opposition campaign
buttons read, "Anita Bryant
Sucks Oranges."
"Asa mother, I know
that homosexuals canna
biologically reproduce
children; therefore, they
must recruit our children,"
Bryant said during her
campaign. "U gays are
granted rights, next well
have to give rights to prosti-
tutes and to people who
sleep with St. Bemards and
nail biters."
The poplar singer and
Florida citrus industry
pitchwoman's speeches
centered on what she per-
ceived as imperilment of
Christian values. She called
homosexuality an "abom-
ination" and feared that if
gay teachers were hired at
her children's Christian
school, they would influ-
ence students to become
gay.
"What these people
really want, hidden behind
obscure legal phrases, is the
legal right to propose to our
children that theirs is an
acceptable alternate way of
life," she said "l will lead

DADE COUNTY
PASSES GAY -RIGHTS
AMENDMENT
On Jan. 18,1977 — the
day before it snowed for
the fast and so far only
time in Miami — Bryant
and her supporters packed
the county's Metro Com-
mission chambers to pro-
test an amendment to the
anti -discrimination ordi-
nance that added "affec-
tional or sexual prefer -
The amendment was
introduced by Commis-
sioner Ruth Shack, whose
husband, Richard, was
Bryant's agent. Commis-
sioners
wted 5-3 in favor,
and Miami became the first
major metro area in the
U.S. to pass legislation
protecting gays in employ-
ment, housing and public
seWeeks later, Bryant and
other gay -right opponents
petitioned to put the law up
for public vote. She was
supported by Miami Arch-
bishop Coleman Carroll,
who urged Catholics to
reject it A nasty six-month
conflict between competing
campaigns ensured.
Shack, who had been
friends with Bryant, re-
ceived death threats.
"Having introduced the
amendment to the ordi-
nance which said gays
should be accepted as
human beings, the hate in
the town was so ferocious
Shack told the Miami Her-
ald. "The hate mail, the
death threats, the promise
that I would never be able
to walk the streets."
In June, 69 percent of
county voters repealed the
law. Bryant declared a
landslide victory.
"People of all ages, gen-
ders and nationalities spoke
out about gay rights public-
ly because of Anita
Bryant," former Miami
Herald gay issues reporter
Steve Rathaus said. "She
caused a lot of pain for a lot
of people."
While Bryant's campaign
stirred homophobic fervor,
she also galvanized gay
rights activists, who later
fought for gay mamage
and gay adoption rights
and protections for people
with AIDS and for trans -
gender people.
DADE COUNTY:
'GROUND ZERO FOR
THE NATIONAL GAY
RIGHTS MOVEMENT
"Everyone knows Stone-
wall, and they often look at
that as the birth of the gay
rights movement, but 1 say
Miami -Dade County was
actually ground zero for the
gay rights movement,"
Rodthaus said.
The June 28, 1969, police
raid on New Ycrk City's
Stonewall Inn — a gay bar
Greenwich Village — led
to a series of protests and
riots known as Stonewall.
Eight years later,
Bryant's high profde as a
celebrity put Miami in the
headlines.
"Anita Bryant was a
pioneer, a hero and the first
parental rights champion in
our ountry," said Anthony
Verdugo, founder and
executive director of the
Christian Family Coalition
Florida. He is a frequent
speaker at Miami -Dade
County school board meet-
ings and favored ending
"LGBTQ Month" recog-
nition in public schools. His
organization advocated for
the defeat of Florida's
abortion -rights Amend-
ment 4. "She had a huge
impact and will be remem-
bered not as anti -anything
but as pro family, pro chil-
dren, pro parent, pm home.
"She had the vision to
see what was coming and
foretold the battle we fight
today recognizing that
there is nothing civil or
human or right about im-
posing ideology under the
cover of education."
Verdugo said Bryant was
"ahead of her time," citing
controversies today such as
the Moms for Liberty cam-
paign to ban books in
sc
hools, anti -abortion
groups' support of laws
requiring parental noti-
fication and consent for
abortions, and the partici-
pation of trans athletes in
wgovernment
sports.
"The gove entis
supposed to oversee educa-
tion — the teaching of
reading, writing, arithmetic
— not indoctrination on
political and ideological
subjects," Verdugo said.
"When a child comes home
from school and says, 'Hey,
dad, 1 teamed today there
are 102 different genders;
how are parents supposed
to explain that?
"Anita Bryant foresaw
how we wadd go backward
on Tide IX and allow men
who identify as women to
compete against women.
How is that equal right?"
Bryant, a mother of four,
grandmother of seven, gave
a voice to parents fright-
ened about societal change,
and they backed her, Ver-
dugo said.
PAYING THE PRICE FOR
HER CAMPAIGN
Bryant's career as an
entertainer and product
endorser went downhill
and later collapsed as a
result of her activism.
Bryant was famous for
her Florida Citrus Commis-
sion that drew
people to the state in the
1970s, singing "Come to
the Florida Sunshine Tree"
and proclaiming, "Break-
fast without orange juice is
like a day without sun-
shine."
She also endorsed Coca -
Cot, Phillips 66 and Tup-
perware.
people.
"We were elected to
defend these people and
provide the protections that
they need," said Commis-
sioner Audrey Edman
who spearheaded the legis-
lation.
Sorenson, by then a
Conner commissioner,
added: "It's interesting to
note that in the 16 years
that have transpired since
we passed the ordinance,
while much catastrophe
was predicted by the oppo-
sition, the wodd has not
come to an end-"

Bob Hope and Billy Gra-

televised Orange Bowl
parade for nine years.

In October 1977, the gay
tights activist Thom Hig-
ginsa threw a pie in her
face on live television, but
she joked, "At least it's a
fruit pie," and prayed that
Higgins would be forgiven
"for his deviant lifestyle."
"She was blacklisted and
got a raw deal, but like her
or not, she stuck to her
conrictions," Verdugo said.
"She always said she hared
the sin, not the sinner,
because our faith teaches
us to love. If you disagree
with someone, that doesn't
mean you hate them."
UVED IN MASION
IN MIAMI BEACH
During her 20 years in
South Florida, Bryant lived
in a spacious waterfront
house at 4682 North Bay
Road in Miami Beach with
her husband -manager,
former W INZ disc jockey
Bob Green, and thew chil-
dren. Among their friends
were Miami Dolphins play-
ers when the Dolphins
were in their heyday. Back
then, Bryant was making
580,000 a year from com-
mercials alone.
"She says her politics are
basically conservative,
though she doesn't really
understand 'all those
terms' like liberal, conser-
vative, reactionary, rad-
ical," according to a 1972
Tropic Magazine story.
"Every night before retiring
to their king -sill bed, the
Greens kneel together and
pay at a genuine altar in
their bedroom."
They wrote "The Anita
Bryant Story: The Survival
of Our Nation's Families
and the Threat of Militant
Homosexuality" in 1977.
Despite being vilified at
protests and gay pride
marches, Bryant traveled to
other cities to rally against
gay -tights laws. One of the
initiatives she promoted to
ban gay teachers was de-
feated at the polls in Cali-
fornia after President jim-
my Caner, Gov. Jetty
Brown and presidential
hopeful Ronald Reagan
denounced it.
Ina 1980 Ladies Home
Journal article, Bryant
seemed to temper her
views: "I'm more inclined
m say live and let live, just
don't flaunt it or try to
legalize it."
Bryant divorced Green
that year and moved to
Alabama, then Georgia.
In 1990, she married
Charlie Dry, a forme

Miami Beach wants to be the next Blue Zone, a community adopting sustainable policy changes across its society to encourage healthful choices.
FROM PAGE 3A
BLUE ZONES
people are as they age.
Communities that have
participated in the Blue
Zones initiative "have
en double-digit drops in
obesity and smoking
rates, economic invest-
ment in downtown corri-
dors, grant funding
awards to support policies
and programs to improve
health equity as well as a
measurable savings in
health care costs," Miami
Beach said in a news
release.
Miami Beach city com-
missioners
voted unani-
mously in June to set
aside 8220,000 for the
assessment and work
needed to turn Miami
Beach into a "Blue Zones"
city. The funding will
cover the six-month as-
sessment, the develop-
ment of a plan for the city,
and the crafting of a pro-
posal fora five-year part-
nership with Blue Zones,
according to city docu-
ments. The city plans also
to seek local sponsorships
to help fund the program.
The wellness plan that
will be created for Miami
Beach, which attracts
millions of tourists a year
and has more than
79,000 residents, is ex-
pected to "look like noth-
ing that we've ever done
before because Miami
Beach is so unique," Dan-
ny Buettner, the founder's
son and the current exec-
utive vice president and
chief development officer
of Blue Zones, told the
Miami Herald in a phone
interview.
THE PATH TO
BECOMING A BLUE
ZONE
Miami Beach's Blue
Zones assessment will
involve meetings and
focus groups with more
than 200 people across
Miami Beach, including
residents, business own -
• and faith and cultural
organizations. Blue Zones
employees will review
data and tom the city to
identify strengths, weak-
• , opportunities and
challenges.
"This is a dating per-
iod," Danny Buettner
said. "We're getting to
know Miami Beach. Mia-
mi Beach is getting to
know Blue Zones."
And Blue Zones is start-
ing to get a vibe for the
city.
Miami Beach has its
"own sense of identity,"
an engaged and support-
ive City Commission,
which is key to advancing
policy recommendations,
and also has a "strong
fitness culnue, which is
very unique across hun-
dreds of American com-
munities," he said.
A town ha8 on Feb. 5 at
the New World Center's
Tmist Pavilion near Lin-
coln Road will gamer
community input. During
the event, a presentation
on Blue Zones research
and how Blue Zone traits
have been used in more
than 90 communities in
the country will be given
by Danny Buettner, who
also serves as the compa-
ny's spokesperson.
Once Miami Beach's
assessment is complete,
Blue Zones workers will
create a blueprint for the
city of changes that can
be made through the
years to help improve the
Life Radius," which is
the area close to home
where most people spend
90% of their lives. Some
of the initiative's goals
include reducing the prev-
alence of disease in city
residents, lowering
health-care costs and,
ideally, helping the com-
munity "mimic the effect
of living in one of the
original Blue Zones,
where your environment
literally shapes you," he
said.
"At the end of the day,
Blue Zones doesn't do this
to Miami Beach," he said.
"The ingredients are al-
ready there."
FLORIDA BLUE ZONES
If all goes well, Miami
Beach could be the firs)
city in South Florida to
receive a Blue Zones cer-
tification, which means
the community has start-
ed policies and initiatives
designed to promote
healthy lifestyles.
5o far, eight Southwest
Florida communities have
received a "Blue Zones
Community" certification,
in a process that took
seven years. The commu-
nities are Naples, Immo-
kalee, Bonita Springs,
Estero, Golden Gate, East
Naples, Marco Island and
Ave Maria, a Collier
County town created by
Barron Collier Companies
with Tom Monaghan,
founder of Domino's
Pizza. Duval County's
Jacksonville is also in the
process of becoming a
Blue Zones community.
Miami Beach wants to
be next.
Grant a wish and
make a difference!

FILM FESTIVAL
world of arts and culture.
Last year, some interna-
tional fdm festivals — in-
cluding one in Sweden and
Amsterdam — became
fraught with controversy
over their handling of Is-
raeli and pro -Palestinian
filmmakers, according to
The Forward, a Jewish
news publication. In the fall
of 2024, a pro -Palestinian
group, the M illy Palestine
Coalition, called for the
Israeli Film Festival to be
canceled, claiming the
event was sponsored by
Israel Bonds.
"Many Israeli filmmak-
ers have faced exclusions
at other international fes-
tivals," Shteyrenberg said.
"_. It's dear that these
actions create significant
barriers for artists who are
already navigating im-
mense personal and profes-
sional challenges."
In response, the Miami
Jewish Film Festival is
premiering more than 30
Israeli fdms, as a way to
provide a platform for the
filmmaker; said Shteyren-
berg.
"We hope other festivals
round the world will join
us in standing by these
stores and promoting
understanding within their
communities — Jewish and
on-lewish alike," Shtey-
renberg said, adding that
the Miami festival remains
committed to allowing
freedom of expression
while also elevating "film-
makers whose stories need
to be seen and heard."
He said the war and
controversy only bring
more urgency to the stories
the festival is trying to
uplift, including the 13
Films addressing the at-
tacks of Oct. 7, 2023,
through sum rs stories
and dontmentaries.
He listed a few films he
considers standouts:
• The Stronghold, a gritty
and thrilling war film that
comm
emorates tes the 50th
anniversary sary of the Yom
Kippur War. The event at
Miami Theater Center in
Miami Shores will
include an appearance
from renowned Israeli
actor, Michael Aloft', who
will introduce the fdm
and participate in a Q&A
after the screening.
"With its intense story
and Aloni's magnetic
presence, this fdm is a
must -watch for fans of
high -stakes action and
exceptional acting,"
Shteyrenberg said-
• Tarami, a Venice Film
Festival winner and
co -directed by Israel's
only ever Oscar winner,
Guy Natty, and Iranian
filmmaker Zar Amir
Ebrahimi, the fdm
follows an Iranian judo
fighter's decision to defy
her government's
Ntimatom which puts
her freedom and her
family's safety at risk.
The event — at Miami
Theater Center — mares
the film's East Coast
premiere.
The World WW Tremble,
directed by Oscar -nominee
Liar Geller and starring
Oliver Jackson -Cohen
("The Haunting of Hill
House"), tells the true story
of the first Holocaust survi-
vors to escape the Chelmno
extermination camp. The
fdm will be making its
world premiere at the Mia-
mi Theater Center on Jan.
16. "As Holocaust survivors
dwindle and anllsemitim
rises, The World Will Trem-
ble presents a vital remind-
er of the importance of
preserving history and
honoring those who resist-
ed," Shteyrenberg said.
Swedlshkayt YldUfe
Crisis in Sweden brings
some humor and lighthean
tedness to the festival. The
film fellows the Jewish
comedy duo "YidLife Gri-
n a journey to Sweden
to uncover hidden Jewish
culture and surprising
Yiddish quirks, "proving
that Jewish joy —and kveU-
ing—knows no borders."
The screening event fea-
tures a live performance
and a Q&A from comedi-
ans Eli Batalion and Jamie
Erman.
Sabbath Queen, a film
made over 21 years that
follows Rabbi Anlichai
Lau-Lavie, the heir to 38
generations of Orthodox
rabbis, as he reconciles his
ancestral legacy with his
queer identity. The
premiere event will take
place under the stars at the
Miami Beach Botanical
Garden, with both Sandi
and Amichai in attendance
to share their stories.
Film classics will also be
celebrated. Those include a
30th anniversary screening
of Martin Scorsese s "Casi-
no,"starring Robert De
Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe
Pesci, at the Bill Cosford
Cinema.
MADE IN MIAMI FILMS
One "must -see" world
premiere, according to
Shteyrenberg, also hap-
pened to kick off the two -
week festival.
"Soul of a Nation," di-
rected by Venezuela -barn
Filmmaker Jonathan Jaku-
bowie., is a documentary
about Israel in the turbu-
lent aftermath of the Oct-
7, 2023 Hamas attacks
"Choosing 'Soul of a
Nation' as the opening film
was no accident — it's a
deliberate and essential
statement" Shteyrenberg
said about the fdm, which
premiered on Thursday at
the Miami Beach Band -
Weil.
"It offers an unflinching
yet hopeful look at how a
nation on the brink of col-
lapse can rediscover its
strength through unity and
resilience," he said.
The festival also spot-
lights local talent with films
that share Miami stories or
were made by Miami na-
tives.
"Miami Schmana," for
example, is a documentary
that tells the story of the
immigrant legacy that
helped shape the American
garment industry, set in a
post -World War II Miami
and expanding through the
1980s.
In "Milk & Honey, Blood
& Tears," Miami -based
Filmmaker Leslie Benitah,
chronicles the resilience
and recovery of Kibbutz
Beer, an Israeli communi-
ty near the Gaza border,
following the Oct. 7 at-
tacks The film contrasts
the kibbutz's peaceful past
with the harsh realities of
healing and surviving a
tragedy.
Another fdm from a
Miami native, called "Oc-
tober HBte," premieres at
The Hub at Temple Beth
Am, Pinearest, at 3 p.m.
Sunday, tan. 12.
The documentary by
Wendy Sachs explores
antisemitim on college
campuses following the
October 7 tragedy. Sachs
was born in South Miami
and went to Temple Beth
Am growing up according
to a Miami Herald article.
"I grew up at the day
school — from pre-school
when 1 was 4 years old
until I was in sixth grade,"
Sachs told the Miami Her-
ald. "It's realty a full code
moment"

Zverev, Sabalenka off to good start in Australia
finks level Malta
Alexander Zverev took a
step toward his elusive first
major championship, de-
feating Lucas Pouille of
France 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the
opening round of the Aus-
tralian Open in Melbourne
on Sunday.
The World No. 2, Zverev
needed two boos, 20 min-
utes to dispatch the wild -
card entrant and advance.
He didn't appear to be
affected by a recent bleep
strain as he fired 18 aces
among his 40 winners.
Pouile reached the semi-
finals at the Australian
Open in 2019 and was
ranked No.10 in the world
in March 2019. He since
has suffered a variety of
injuries, inclining a stress
fracture in his lower back, a
tom abdominal muscle and
an elbow aibnent that re-
quired ssrrgery.
Zverev didn't take a win
for granted.
"He's someone that
when healthy, he's some-
body definitely not at the
ranking that he is," Zverev
said of Pouille, ranked No.
104. "He's been in the
semifinals here before.
He's definitely a great
player."
Zverev has played in the
finals of two majors (U.S.
Open 2020, French Open
Alexander Zverev of Germany
France in the first round of the
2023) and was leading in
both matches for faltering.
As he continues his bid to
become the first Getman
man to capture a major title
since Boris Becker in 1996,
he'll have to get by his next
opponent, Pedro Martinez
of Spain.
Martinez was up one set
and 4-1 when Luciano
Darden of Italy retired.
The opening day of play
also featured a trio of scin-
tillating five -set matches.
Casper Ruud of Norway,
reaches fora forehand return
2025 Australian Open at Me
shot against Lucas Pouille of
Iboume Park on Sunday.
the sixth seal, needed five
sets to shake Spain's lame
Munar by a 6-3,1-6, 7-5,
2-6, 6-1 margin in three
hours, 24 minutes. In a
match that was close on
most statistical levels, the
difference as lust seven
points, with Ruud winning
134 total points to 127 for
Munar.
Kei Nishikori of Japan
was down two sets and
faced two match points in
the third set against Brazil's
Thiago Monteim before
fighting basic to win 4-6,
6-7 (4-7), 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 in
far hours, six minutes.
Home -country favorite
Adam Walton was in con-
trol of his opening -round
match against Quentin
Halys before the French-
man came back to nab a
4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 7-5
victory, powered by 31
acAmong others to ad-
vance to the second round
were seeded players Ugo
Humbert and Arthur Fils of
France and a pair of
Czechs, )iri Lehecka and
omas Machac.
Big -serving American
Remy opelka struck 38
aces compared to two for
his opponent as he defeat-
ed Gauthier Onclin of
Belgium in four sets.
SABALENKA BEATS
SLOANE STEPHENS
Aryls Sabalenka took
her first step Sunday to-
ward a third consecutive
Australian Open tide as the
top -seeded Belamtian
breezed to a 6-3, 6-2 win
over Sloane Stephens in a
first -round match in Mel-
bourne.
Sabalenka had 20 win-
ners broke Stephen.,
who won the 2017US.
Open, on five occasions
from 13 break points.
Afterward, Sabalenka
shared a bit of a lighter side
when asked about her
tradition of posting a pre-
tournament dance routine
our social media.
"I'm not the best dancer,
but i try my best," Saba-
lenka said after extending
her win streak at hard -court
majors to 15 matches. She
is bidding to become the
first woman since Swit-
zerland's Manhha Hingis to
record a tteee-peal at the
Australian Open (1997-99).
Sabalenka was able to
dance around a rough
patch in the first set after
Stephens won three straight
games to pull within 4-3.
"1 think 1 kind of stepped
hack after a few games
didn't go well," Sabalenka
said. "1 stepped back, and 1
give her a chance to come
back in the match. I'm glad
that in that game on 4-31
stepped in and 1 was going
forward to the net. I think
that was the key to get back
to this match.
Sabalenka advanced to
face Spaniard Jessica Bou-
zas Martelro, who posted a
6-1, 7-6 (7-5) win over
Great Britain's Sonay Kar-
tal 6-1, 7-6 (7-5).
Fifth -seeded Qinwen
Zheng of China overcame a
tough first set to record a
7-6 (73), 6-1 win over Ro-
manian qualifier Anca
Todoni in their opening -
round clash. Zheng, last
year's runner up in this
tournament and the Olym-
pic gold medalist in Paris,
saved three set points in
the first set en route to
dispatching Todoni in one
hour, 56 minutes.
Also on Sunday, 11th-
seeded Paula Badosa of
Spain, 14th-seeded Mina
Andreeva of Russia, 18th-
seeded Donna Vekic of
Croatia and 30th-seeded
Leylah Fernandez of Cana-
da each recorded a
straight -set victory over
their opposition.

MIAMI HERALD
FROM PAGL 3A
FILM FESTIVAL
world of arts and culture.
Last year, some inteme-
tional film festivals— in-
cluding one in Sweden and
Amsterdam — became
fraught with controversy
over thew handling of Is-
raeli and pro -Palestinian
filmmakers, according to
The Forward, a Jewish
news publication In the fall
of 2024, a pro -Palestinian
group, the Philly Palestine
Coalition, called for the
Israeli Film Festival to be
steeled, claiming the
event was sponsored by
Israel Bonds.
"Many Israeli fdmnuk-
en have faced exclusions
at other intemalional fes-
tival;" Sh3eyrenberg said.
".-- It's clear that these
actions create significant
barriers for artists who are
already navigating im-
mense personal and profes-
sional challenges."
In response, the Miami
Jewish Film Festival is
premiering more than 30
Israeli films, as a way to
provide a platform for the
filmmakers, said Shteyren-
be"We hope other festivals
around the world will join
us in standing by these
stories and promoting
understanding within their
communities — Jewish snd
on -Jewish alike," Shtey-
renberg said, adding that
the Miami festival remains
committed to allowing
freedom of expression
while also elevating "film-
makers whose stories need
to be seen and heard."
He said the war and
controversy only bring
more urgency to the stories
the festival is toying to
uplift, including the 13
films addressing the at-
tacks of Oct. 7, 2023,
through survivors' stories
and documentaries.
He listed a few films he
considers standouts:
• The Stronghold gritty
and thrilling war film that
commemorates the 50th
anniversary of the Yom
Kippur War. The event at
Miami Theater Center in
Miami Shores will
include an appearance
from renowned Israeli
actor, Michael Aloni, who
will introduce the files
and participate in a Q&A
alter the screening.
"With its inlet). story

pened to kick of( the two -
week festival.

rected by Veneniela-born
filmmaker Jonathan Jaku-
bowioo, is a documentary
about Israel in the tutW-
lent aftemsath of the Oct.
7, 2023 Hanus attacks
"Choosing 'Soul of a
Nation' as the opening film
was no accident — it's a
deliberate and essential
statement," Shleyrcnberg
said about the film, which
premiered on Thursday at
the Miami Beach Band -
shell.
"It offers an unflinching
yet hopeful look at how a
lion on the brink of col-
lapse can rediscover its
strength through unity and
resilience," he said.
The festival also spot-
lights local talent with films
that share Miami stories Or
were made by Miami nor
fives
"Miami Schmatta," for
example, is a documentary
that tells the stay of the
Immigrant legacy that
helped shape the American
garment industry, set in a
post -World War 11 Miami
and expanding through the
1980s-
In "Milk & Honey, Blood
& Tears," Miami -based
filmmaker Leslie Benitah,
chronicles the resilience
and recovery of Kibbutz
B0'eri, an Israeli communi-
ty near the Gaza border,
following the On. 7 at-
tacks The film contrasts
the kibbun's peaceful pas(
with the harsh realities of
healing and surviving a
tragedy.
Another film from a
Miami native, called "Oc-
tober H8te," premieres at
The Hub el Temple Beth
Am, Pinecrest, at 3 p.m.

Am growing sop, according
to a Miami Herald article.
"I grew up at the day
school — from pre-school
when I was 4 years old
until 1 was in sixth grade,"
Sachs told the Miami Her-
ald. "It's really a full circle
mo
ment."

is really special ground
when it comes to space,
he said.
He highlighted other
facets of Florida's space
footprint, noting that
Space Florida's efforts,
such as attracting new
aerospace manufacturing
and launch facilities, are
projected to add 51.1 bil-
lion to the economy an-
nually for the next several
years
He said the state had
ore than 2,700 aero-
space and aviation estab-
lishments, 21 commercial
airports and three space-
ports: Cape Canaveral,
Jacksonville and Titusville.
"They've allowed Flor-
ida to lead the nation as
space exploration has
flourished in recent years,
of course, now with pri-
vate -sector investment,"
he said.
And he also noted the
choice of Patrick Space
Force Base as the future
headquarters of STAR-
COM, the Space Force
training and readiness

DeSantis used all of
those facets to float the
idea that maybe NASA
could consider shifting its
headquarter to Florida.
"We have an opportuni-
