FROM PAGE IA LINES five driver's -license offices in Broward and seven of the 10 in Miami -Dade. Until January, those were the only two Florida coun- ties that still had appoint- ed tax collectors, meaning they were also the only two counties to have state - run DMVL A constitutional amend- ment passed in 2018 now requires all counties to elect their tax collectors. In November, Miami - Dade voters elected Fernandez, a Republican software -company owner, and Broward voters elect- ed Abbey Ajayi, a Demo- crat and veteran of that oounty's Tax Collector's ffice. Those elections also triggered the slow -moving end to the state running DMV offices in South Florida. State rules require elected tax collectors to run licensing offices in their counties, and now Broward and Miami -Dade fall under that mandate. While an Ajayi spokes- person said the Broward Tax Collector's Office plans to take over state DMV offices n summer 2026, Fernandez is adding them to his portfolio al- ready. Last month, he took over the Northside Justice Center DMV office (15555 Biscayne Blvd. in North Miami) and said he ex- pects to take over the DMV's Mall of the Amer. ices location (7795 W. Flagler St. near West- chester) in May. He also brought driver's -license services to the Tax Colec tor's Office headquarters in downtown Munn (200 NW Second Ave.). The takeover comes as DMV offices are over whelmed by demand in South Florida, with visa crackdowns spurting more migrants to secure gov- ernment identification and a May 7 deadline looming for the federal Real ID program, which requires U.S. citizens to have up-to- date licenses or passports if they want to board do- mestic fights. (lo Florida, a Real ID -compliant li- cense has a star on the upper -tight comer.) Fernandez promises major improvements on wait times and says pro- gress is underway in the three DMV locations that his staffers now men. "We inherited a crisis," he said. A representative for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles was not available for comments last week. Andrew Lopez, director of motorist services under Fernandez, said the Tax Collector's Office has expanded staffing at the Central office in the past few weeks. on the day of Pichardo's visit, there were 33 win- dows open inside, up from about a dozen when the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles turned it over to Fernandez this month. With more windows open, re people are being a— Lopez said the erage daily covet is now about 700 customer visits on an verge day, up from about 450 when the Tax Collector's ice took OVEN Fernandez said he add- ed credit-card scanners to each window, saving a trip to the cashier's section for customers who don't want to pay in cash. He also says Central is seeing a reduction in no- show appointments after improved scheduling soft- ware eliminated the ability to book unlimited time slots with a single phone number. Fernandez said the old software that his office inherited allowed driving schools to tie up hundreds of time slots a day for students even though most of the ap- pointments were never used. Fernandez backed legislation recently approved by the County Commission imposing fines on myone caught "scalping" a DMV ap- pointment. He's also predicting more appointment avail- ability as Central and the other former state -tun offices shift fully to ap- pointments made under the new system. Fernan- dez said Central each day has about 400 appoint- ments made under the state reservation frame- work — time slots that the Tax Collector's Office inherited He said the last of those state -made ap- pointments — which Fer- nandez said tend to mean lots of no-shows — should be retired sometime in May, and he thinks it will be easier for people to make an appointment after that.

Fernandez promises major improvements on wait times. at windows by helping staff inspect the docu- ments required for new or modified driver's licenses. Whatever improvements are coming, Pichardo's experience highlights the current struggles for get- ting a license issued, up- dated or renewed in South Florida. Here are some tips to make the process a bit less frustrating: BEAT THE EARLY BIRDS IN DMV ONES This is easier said than done, with some people camping out overnight to secure their slots in line. A 72-year-old Broward resi- dent named Harvey told the Miami Herald he ar- rived at the Sunrise DMV office at 3 a.m. to wait for the 8 a.m. opening. "1 was No. 77 in line," he said. Harvey, who asked that his fast name not be pub- lished, said the people in the front of the line had rived at 9 the night be- fore Nina Dape drove tie 20 miles between her home in Hollywood and the Miami -Dade Tax Collec- tor's main office in down- town Miami on a recent morning, arriving around 3:30 am.

With only eight DMV windows, the downtown Miami office typically accepts 30 walk-ins at the start of the day but will accommodate more depending on the number of no-shows Cot appointments, a spokes- person said. DON'T WAIT TO HUNT FOR A DMV APPOINTMENT IN BROWARD OR MIAMI-DADE Appointments on the state and county online booking portals aren't impossible to get — but they're probably going to require some advanced planning. In the middle of April, the state's Miami Gardens DMV office had some morning appoint- ments available — but not until mid -June. Carlos Castillo, 41, was able to get a new Florida license two hour after arriving at the Central office on a recent after- noon thanks to securing a 2 p.m. appointment that he had made weeks earlier. The minis transplant said he went online on Feb. 26 and that April 16 was the earliest slot he could re- serve. He said he was stunned the wait was so long to get a license with his new address. "In Chi- cago, it's pretty stnigbo- forward," he said. PREPARE TO CAMP TO GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE RENEWED For large DMV offices such as Central (at 3721 NW Seventh St. in Miami), endurance can make the difference between a wasted day that ends with no license and a long day that ends with getting a license renewed or issued. Anthony Martinez, 27, arrived at Central roughly the same time as P,chardo. By l pm., he said there would have been even more people ahead of him if not for en endurance gap. "The reason we're here is so many people gave up and left," he said. "This is ridiculous Like Pichardo, Martinez did make it to the front of the line at the Central DMV office that day after about a five -hour wait. The line on the unshad- ed sidewalk in the shop- ping center parking lot grew and contracted throughout the day. 1t finally vanished around 4 p.m. after Tax Collector staff came out to insensct the last group of people to come inside the au -condi- tioned office. Jorge Bonet had been there since 10:30 am. Five hours later, his wife drove by to drop off a chocolate shake and McChicken sandwich from McDo- nald's. "1 haven't eaten any- thing all day," he said.

MIZNAZI This story u part of periodic Miami Herald series where we answer reader questions about climate change. Send w yours at clinmrr@miamt herald.cam. It's the lime of the year when yellow pollen coats everything, from wind- shields to streets. It's not just from flowers and shrub'. Pollen that piles up under oak and pine trees also adds some of the sneezkst allergens 10 the 'nix. Some studies suggest that warmer conditions - climate change is driving Miami's temperatures up if you haven't noticed - will encourage trees to produce more pollen earli- er. But many factors con- tribute to pollen produc- tion, and temperature is just one of them. In sub- tropical South Florida, the days can become so hot that the rising mercury might actually discourage pollen production. One frequently cited study draws on data col- lected over a 28-year per - soil across the United States, including in Talla- hassee and Tampa. 1t found that until 2018, sing temperatures and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused increased pollen concen- trations, as well as earlier - starting and longer -lasting pollen seasons. But other factors com- plicate things down here in South Florida, said Marc Frank, a botanist at the University of Florida's Herbarium in Gainesville. "It lust depends. Like, are we in a drought per- iod? Was there • lot of cold before that wamt1 Or was it consistently warm? There's a number of varia- bles that Figure into it," Frank said. In most of the country, there is little pollen to trigger allergies in the winter months because plants are not actively flowering and producing pollen. Then, in the spring, trees pump out pollen that the wind spreads around, including into your 001. trils. But in South Florida, where plants are always in bloom, pollen production tends to be year-round, Frank said. A map from the U.S. National Phenology Network shows that in 2024 in the central U.S., spring arrived earlier, but in Florida, the liming was different. Spring arrived late in the northern part of the peninsula, and there wasn't a significant change in the arrival of spring in the southern part of the peninsula. Frank also expects that extreme high temper- atures might actually re- duce pollen in South Flor- ida. While warm conditions will lead to increased pollen counts over a long- er period in some areas of the country, there is some data indicating that tem- peratures above 90 to 95°F can actually suppress pollen production, Frank said. "If South Florida experi- encesore days above 90°Fspecially unseason- ably hot days earlier in the year, It is possible that the total amount of pollen and the length of allergy sea- son decrease," Frank said.

FROM PAGE 3A COMPLAINT man Campbell, LLC. That led to a plethora of law- suits in addition to the complaint to the Bar. State records at the time listed Christidis' Sarnia LLC as Klip's manager and William Holly's TYG, LLC as an authorized member of Klip. Klip was buying an in- surance business, Under- writers Inc., as well as a two-story Commercial building at 102481 Over - nu Hwy. in Key Largo for $1.4 million from Morgan's company. Christidis' complaint says Sanchez -Medina, while acting as K1ip's at- torney, held $625,000 of the real estate deal's $1.4 million In his trust account but never 'rimed it over to Morgan. Christidis and Morgan, in a Miami -Dade lawsuit against Sanchez - Medina and Holly, said that the money never made it to Morgan. The lawsuit accused Sanchez -Medina and Holly of lying by "stating verbal- ly and in First Closing Statement, drafted by [Sanchez-Medinal, on July 13, 2018 that the S625,000.00 was an escrow holdback that would be released to [Mor- gan] upon the closing of the sale of the asset pur- chase agreement." Christidis' complaint says Sanchez -Medina wired $539,021 of the $625,000 to Belgium's Bercom, a company owned by (folly partner Jacques Bartabi. Sanchez-Medina's lan.7 rsponse to the Bar com- plaint, which was written by Gwendolyn Daniel of the law rim Smith, Tozian, Daniel @ Davis, denied that Sanchez -Medina rep- resented Klip in the trans- action. Also, it says the $539,021 came from Ber- rebi's Attic Miami Corp (principal address: SMGQ's Alhambra Circle law office) and "pertained to a separate transaction." "As Mr. Christidis well knows, the 8539,021 is not related to the S625,000, which is still being held in 'tout." That was fried )an- 7. That's not what Sanchez- Medina's side stated on Feb. 11. Where does Sanchez - Medina say the money is? A section of the tart? annver, headlined "The S625,000 Buyer's Hold- back remains safeguarded in SMGQ's Truss Account" discusses what Sanchez. Medina said during a 2023 deposition. Pointing out the time gap between the 2018 original deal and the 2023 deposition, Sanchez-Medl- a's lawyer wrote he "had not refreshed his recol- lection regarding the KLIP transaction that had oc- curred almost fuse years earlier, and when asked by Mr. Christidis' lawyer [Nathan Clark], Mr. San. chez-Medina inmrrecty believed that the S625,000 had been dis- bursed to KLIP." "Subsequently, Mr. San. chez-Medina confirmed that the S625,000.00 has remained safeguarded in trust and has not been disbursed due to the ongo- ing disputes that are sub- ject to active litigation." But Morgan's amended lawsuit includes a Feb. 11 correction by Sanchez - Medina written by his attorney. "Regrettably, after re- using additional docu- mentation, Mr. Sanchez - Medina has realized that the funds were disbursed shortly after the 2018 clos- ing, at the direction of William Holly, a 50-50 ember of KLIP," the response says. "On July 26, 2018, Mr. Holly, who had executed the closing docu- ments on behalf of KLIP, directed Mr. Sanchez - Medina to issue a cashier's check in the amount of S687,130.71 to the Bre- ward County Property Appraiser's Office for the benefit of )B Green. "Mr. Holly's check in the amount of S62,130.71 was deposited into Mr. San- chez-Medoa's trust ac- count on July 27, 2018," the response continued. "This amount was com- bined with the S625,000 hold back amount to cover the cashier's check in the amount of S687.130.71. Mr. Holly was a partial owner of JB Green and Mr. Christidis managed the building owned by )B Green." Also, the Feb.11 re- sponse said, Sanchez - Medina looked at the asset purchase agreement again and that "refreshed his recollection that six years ago his F represented K LIP in the potential ac- quisition of the insurance assets" But, he says, "he did not provide legal services in- volving KLIP" and did not receive any anomey's fees "related to the dosing" from anyone. David J. Neal: 305-376-3559, @David/Ned FROM PAGE 3A WEISBERGER berger's attorneys alike agreed to have his trial held in front of a judge, and note jury. Jones found Weisberger guilty on both charges in January and had the option of sentenc- ing him to life in prison. When reached Wednes- day, Monroe County Slate Attorney Dennis Ward said his office disagrees with Jones' decision. "My job is to protect the community, and 1 don't think this decision does that, because of the vio- lent, horrific manner in which he practically cut his brother's head of," Ward said. A RELUCTANT WITNESS Poholek, who wanted his son to be tried as minor because he was 17 at the time of the crime, had been at odds with Ward's office throughout the prosecution and ar- goed that Weisberger was not receiving the proper mensal health care while hewas in county jail. Given that he was the lwitness to the crime, his quest for mercy for his son created a difficulty for prosecutors Aster Jones convicted Weisberger, Poholek is- sued a statement to the Herald saying that he and his family were "pro- foundly disappointed by the judge's decision, and continue to strongly be- lieve that the evidence showed Daniel was not in a rational state of mind on May 7,2020, when he attacked Pascal and I." "We, and all who knew both of the boys, including Pascal's closest friends, know that Daniel greatly loved Pascal, and could never have committed the acts he did unless he was in an altered mental state, Y91 personally experi- enced him being when the events of that day un- folded," Poholekcontin- ued. THE MANHUNT The slaying of Pascal shocked the Upper Florida Keys community, which, while certainly not im- mune to crime, rarely experiences brutal mur- ders. Also, many in the area knew the family well and have been supportive of both Poholek and Weis- berger since the killing, writing letters to the court on their behalf. After killing his brother and wounding Poholek, Weisberger held his father hostage in his bedroom for TEACHER ASSISTANTS cam urn.

CGC+048630 about two hours before running away. Poholek was then able to make his way to a neighbor's house and call 911. The Monroe County Sheriff s Office launched a manhunt for Weisberger that lasted into the eve- ning and included Miami - Dade police and helicop- ters, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers, as well as U.S. Border Patrol agents. Authorities were even looking for him on the mainland. He didn't go nearly that far, it later fumed ow. He was hiding in the wools between his neigh- borhood and Founders Park at stile marker 87.2 of the Overseas Highway - which is what U.S.1 is called in the Keys - right next to Executive Bay. Around 7 p.m. -12 hours into the search- he surfaced and ran into heavy U.S. 1 traffic. He was struck by a pickup truck, suffering serious injuries that required his being sent to Jackson Me- morial Hospital in Miami. Weisberger's descent into trouble with the law happened gradually. He, his brother and their fath- er a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis- 'ration biologist - were well -liked and respected in Islamorada and Key Lar- go. The boys were active in Boy Scouts, soccer and volunteer efforts, includ- ing frequent beach clean- ups. Poholek was a single father, raising his sou alone ever since gaining (WI custody from his ex- wife in 2008. But, by high school, Weisberger started acting out at home and getting into trouble at school - and with the law- his father told the Herald in the months after Pascal was killed. This included being nested several times and placed into Department of juvenile Justice detention in both the Keys and Mia- mi -Dade County. In January 2020, rolio- lek discovered Weisberger had brought a gun home, and he called in the police. Weisberger was placed In juvenile detention in Key West for 21 days. During this time, Weis- berger and his mother - Poholek's ex-wife - re- connected, and she agreed to lake Daniel to her Port 5t. Lucie home when he was released from custo- dy.

Pretty soon, Daniel began getting into trouble again. Poholek said his ex-wife - whom he met in Gabon, Africa, while in the Peace Corps in the early 2000s - reacted by lock- ing their son out of the house and denying him meals. ALLEGATION OF ABUSE Poholek said the mother had abused Weisberger before the divorce. Polio- lek shared a report with the Herald from his son's therapist diagnosing post - traumatic stress disorder restating from his child- hood experiences. Daniel had had a blood- soaked letter in in his pocket that police found the day of the killing in which he claimed his mother abused him. The mother, Joceline Nguema, sent a statement to the Herald in 2020 denying that she ever abused either of her sons. "1 always imagined them one day saying they wanted to spend more time with their mom, and I never abused or neglected my children in any way," she said. Nguema said she was forced to call the ponce on Weisberger on March 15, 2020, because of a violent incident. He was arrested and placed wider house ar rest. Nguema said in the statement that she still wanted to keep Weis- berger but that Poholek picked him up early the next day before a sched- uled emergency hearing.

Both are part of the pow- erful Viv Ansanm gang coalition, which now con- trols up to 90% of met- ropolitan Pat -..Prince and on Wednesday killed several members of Haiti s security forces and of a self-defense brigade during gangs' attempt to gain control of two new neigh- borhoods in the capital. After storming Mireba- lais on March 31 and at- tacking the police station, gangs released more than 500 prisoners from the local prison. They then targeted the rural town of Scut d'Eau, which ties at the crossroads of the Cen- tral Plateau where Mireba- lais is located and the West region where Port-au- Prince is situated. More than 51,400 Hai- tians have been internally displaced in the Central Plateau area, the United Nations International Or- ganization for Migration said last week. At least 76 others have been killed, according to Haiti s Office of Civil Protection. "The crisis has duropted public services and educa- tion." Stephan Dujamic, spokesman for U.N. Secre- tary -General Antonio Gu- terres, told reporters in New Yak "AIL schools in Mirebalais and Saut-d'Eau are closed, with more than 30 schools in neighboring communes being used as temporary shelters for displaced families." Power cuts, disruptions to communications net- works and the ongoing presence of armed groups were all hampering re- sponse efforts, he said. But despite the challenges, UN aid agencies and their partners were scaling up the response to support those affected by the brutal violence, including by deploying mobile clinics to try to provide health care for 30,000 people in host communities and daplace- m camps. "Our humanitarian col- leagues note protec- tion needs are surging. c Women, children and people with disabilities require urgent support, and signs of post -traumatic stress have been reported, particularly in the area of Boman Cane," Dujamic said about the neighboring town to which the majority have Fled. DOZENS OF HOSPITALS, CLINICS SHUTTERED In less than four years, Haiti has seen the destmc- lion and closure of dozens of hospitals and medical clinics as armed groups take over entire towns and set up encampments in places of worship, private homes and buildings when lives were once saved In January, when the Trump administration announced cuts to foreign aid, Mirebalais was still functioning and opening its doors to HIV/AIDS patients who had been forced to find new treatment after COVUESVI Dr. Pascale rola Gassanl, right. perfonns a lest on Djooly leune,18, while staffers at the University Hospital of Mirebalais in central Haiti observe.

Now Mirebalais' beds are empty. all of in patients either sent home or trans- ferred elsewhere. The transferees include 10 hospitalized children, some of whom have cerebral palsy and others who were abandoned and are now being cued for by a partner organization. "It's the biggest tragedy of my lifetime to see this shut down and taken over by a bunch of thugs," Ford said. Ina Statement about the situation, Partners In Health noted that for the past decade, whenever people have fallen sick or a disaster has struck Haiti, the University Hospital of Mirebalais "has proudly stood as a place where anyone, matter their background or income, could get access to the free, high -quality health care that they deserve." "The tenacity of our colleagues throughout this incredibly challenging period has been a beacon of hope for the people of Haiti and carved as the physical manifestation of our organvation's commit- ment t0servingas an anti- dote to despair," the state- ment said. At the time of the state- ment, the hospital had not been attacked As of now, staffers are still trying to a5a0M its state, while not being able to safely access its grounds or any area south of the siviere de Fer 5 Cheval, which is part of the main tributary of the Artibonite River, because of the heavy presence of armed gang members. "PIH began in Haiti, and our ore values of solidarity and accompaniment emerged from our work with Haitian communi- ties," Dr. Shelia Davis, CEO of Partners In Health, said. "No matter how daunting the challenges of this particular moment have seemed, on Haitian colleagues have never wavered or indulged in the luxury of pessimism, and 1 couldn't be more proud to say that our organisation will continue to stand with the people of Haiti today, tomorrow, and long into the fume." DT.lvesler Lambert, executive director of Zanmi [asante, as Partners In Health is known in Haiti, said clinical operations were continuing in other institutions in the network, where patients were trans- femd and staffers reallo- cated. Lambert and DavLs spoke of resuming activ- ities in Mirebalais as soon as it is safe to do m. But when is anyone's guest. Police have lost control of city, ci, and the gunmen are now declaring them- selves rulers of the region. They've seised control of at least one radio station, renamed it "Taliban FM," and now use it to spread their propaganda amid mounting fear that the region's capital, Hinche, will soon be their next target. The escalating gang violence has left Haiti s health system on the brink of collapse, and Haitians with few options as they not only bank chronic illnesses but also contend with more cases of sexual violence, hunger and mai- nuRltiai. Before its closure, the University Hospital of Mirebalais served nearly 850 patients a day, in- cluding providing maternal care and advanced cancer treatment. Two other hos- pitals in the area — St. Therese in Hinche and the 200-bed Albert Schweitzer Hospital in the Anibonite coming under ceased strain and face critical shortages of oxy- gen, emergency medical kits and other supplies, Dujarric said on Wednes- day. The two facilities have treated more than 200 patients for gunshot wounds, strokes, suspected cholera and malnulntion since the Mirebalais hospi- tal's closure. St. Therese has received more than 3,500 internally displaced people — tripling its out- patient caseload Albert Schweitzer, meanwhile, transformed its cholera HCA Florida Neurosurgical Specialists Effective April 11th, 2025 Dr. Jack Klem will no longer be affiliated with HCA Florida Neurosurgical Specialists, located at 9100 SW 87th Ave, Miami, FI 33176.

In Pon -au -Prince, where gunshot victims are dying because of a lack of oxygen and blood for transfusions, fewer than 40% of hospi- tals are fully functional, according to the UN. Else- where, health care is even scarcer as communities Find themselves unable to get lifesaving medicines and supplies or even doc- tors because the gangs' control of the roads. Earlier this month, Hai- tians lost access to two facilities in a,s.avyolitan Port-au-Prince run by the French medical charity Doctors Without Borders/ Medecins Sans Frontieres. Citing the spiraling vio- lence and what it described as an "intentional" attack against its staff, the chanty said it was dosing an emergency center and a trauma hospital for three months. Outing that time, MSF says, it plans to eval- uate whether its staff can continue operating in such an environment after being targeted DOMINICAN IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN Last week, Higgins and others were grappling with another fallout from the health crisis and gang vio- lence. One of Huggins' physicians, Dr. Jolius The- tus,Pe, a urology surgeon, found himself jailed in the Dominican Republic while trying to cross back into Haiti from northern Haiti, where he was seeing pa- tients in Cap-Haitien. Be - use the gangs control Saut d'Eau and other cities leading to Fond-Parisien, where Thelosme lives and works, he could reach eastern Haiti only via the Dominican Republic. But as he traveled through one immigration check point after another on a bus on Saturday, he was eventually arrested by Dominican immigration and placed in an iron box track, despite presenting his passport and autho- rization to enter the coun- try. He was taken to a de- tention center tn Haina. After being confined to a mmed cell, Thelusme was eventually released on Tuesday but nor before he was handcuffed and pho- tographed. He was then handed over to an official of the Haitian Embassy. Other Haitians have not been as lucky. On Wednesday, Domin- authorities said they had deported 135 people, including children and dozens of women, who had Rust given birth and others still pregnant, back to Haiti as part of a crackdown on undocumented Haitians. The deportations are part Of 15 controversial mea- sures President Luis Abi- nader announced would begin taking effect on Monday. Dominican police offi- cer were deployed t0 over 30 hospitals, and the government said 48 preg- nant women, 39 new moth- ers 48 minors were apprehended on the rust day and taken to a deten- tion center robe finger- printed. They were later dropped off at the Elias Puna border crossing, which is in the sarne region as gang -controlled Mirebalais. "Delivering health can In Haiti is needy impos- sible with a lack of human- itarian corridors, particular- ly around the Port-au- Polnce area, and difficult entry routes for medical supplies, medications and equipment," Higgins said. "Now with the gangs de- stroying medical renters and medical facilities, trashing medical equip- ment and turning the facil- ities into headquarter there will soon be no deliv- ery of health care in Haiti if this pattern continues." "The Haitians who re- mpride care for theirovpeople are all heroes," he added. "They know and are fearful of the gang warfare situation, but most health -can providers stay with the hope that stability in Haiti somehow can be accomplished."
