Though Magill's worked at Zoo Miami since the time of its original loca- tion in Crandon Park in Key Biscayne, he said, "In a perfect world, we wouldn't need zoos at all." "1 could never support taking animals from the wild, unless it was a last and necessary effort to save that individual or the species it represents," Magill said in the video. "Yet, the reality is without zoos, species such as the California condor, the Arabian oryx or the black - footed ferret might no longer exist in the wild. That alone speaks to the irreplaceable role zoos can play when they embrace conservation as their core To that end, Magill started the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment in 2015, which, he said, he wa nts to be his legacy. "Over the years, the endowment has provided millions of dollars to in situ conservation efforts around the world as well scholarshipsas for stu- dentsnts dedicated to wildlife conservation careers," he said. "Not a penny of that money can be spent on the zoo itself. But it has funded grants for zoo staff to travel abroad and par- ticipate in conservation programs worldwide."

"Good plan," Nathan responded. Nathan appeared to be paranoid about his legal representation, telling Fickett that his attorneys are "actively working against me" and "work- ing with the prosecutors against my best interest." Nathan added that he was looking for an at- torney in North Florida to take his case. But hiring n attorney would cost about $250,000, accord- ing to Fickett, who had asked a lawyer. "Put the word out that they're not to be trusted," Nathan told Fickett. SOUGHT BOOK ON PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT In the bulk of his con- versations, Nathan de- tailed the misery of jail life. It's toad inside. There's black mold in the vents. "Garbage a-s fake news s--t" blasts on TV all day. He recounted once being excited at catching a glimpse of a squirrel through a window be - se it was the First time in months he had seen the outside. "I should've never me to this place," Nathan said. "It's full of criminals." He said he orders pea- nut butter and jelly, mat- zo crackers, tea, lemon- ade, peanut M&Ms and other high -calorie snacks because "half the food" he gets is rotten. He told Fickett fellow inmates say they look forward to go- ing to prison so they can eat food with "actual nutrients in it." "Wow, that's sad. It is what it is," Nathan said. "There's nothing 1 can do about it." jail staff, Nathan said, wer"retaliating" against hime making the jail "like torture." Deputies, he claimed, blocked him from going to exercise in the rec yard, cut off his laundry and wouldn't give him access to law books. "Pure corruption, dude," Nathan said. "Piece of s--t sheriff de- partment. The corrupt a-s psychopath prosecutors' office. The f gludi- ciary, corrupt to the dam Ina call, he asked Fick- ett to order him a law dictionary and a book related to prosecutorial misconduct. He also re- quested several science- 010110n and fantasy novels as well as the works of Roman philosopher Sene- ca. In another commis- sary order, he bought Nike sneakers. INMATE SECRETS As time went by, Nath- herelayed toFickett what leamed from inmates. How they brew makeshift wine in toilets and mop buckets. How state pris- ons don't have air condi- tioning. How all inmates sentenced to prison have to take a test to deter - me the security level of the facility to which they're sent. Nathan quipped about how his charges are so serious, he would start off at a maximum -security fatuity. In several conversa tions, he implied that Fickett replied. jailhouse deputies are In another call, Fickett trying to kill him.

"Looking forward to what this prison has in store for me ...," Nathan said. "If anything hap- pens, it's 100% the guards, 100% the prison leadership behind 11." WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH SERAPHINET Nathan's jailhouse calls also shed light into the guardianship battle for Seraphine. In what seems like one of the first calls after his arrest, Nathan told Fick- ett he was booked on murder charges and that Seraphine was fumed over to child -welfare authorities. He also refer- enced his cousin Dema- ris, who is locked in a battle with Mary's sister to get custody of Sera- phine. "I was just trying to see because you and Demaris are power of attorney and guardians, so 1 was hop- ing you could get her at some point as soon as possible and get her the f--k out of the state," Nathan said.

In another call, pre- sumably at a later date, Fickett told Nathan that Demaris "can't talk to you until she gets Sera."

Hannon City Clerk Ad No. 43905 MIAMI HERALD I I MONDAY 01115AN IA 2026 FROM PAGE 3A INCINERATOR and Mayor Daniell. Le- vine Cava they'd oppose a new facility so close to the Trump Donal golf resort. Then anention shifted to an idle county -owned it strip known as Opa- locka West just south of the Broward County line. That sparked allegations of racism from the nearby city of Miramar, where Black residents are the largest population group. Commissioners last year voted to eliminate both of the contested sites. Then they invited two private consortiums interested in building the new inciner- ator to propose their own locations for the county facility, which would gen- erate electricity by burn- ing nearly 2 million tons of trash a year. Those consortiums — one led by the Spanish waste -management firm FCC Environmental Serv- icesand the other by Flor- ida and Light — each locked up permission for their preferred inciner- ator sites. FCC has the option to purchase the 78-acre Ace Truck Parking Yard about a mile outside Hialeah. FPL secured an option for a 65-acre plot of vacant land off Okeecho- bee Road. Both locations are sur- rounded by industrial properties and rock guar- , rather than walking distance to residential communities at the previ- ously suggested Opa-locka and Donal sites. But at Thursday's session, com- missioners for the first time had to publicly con- front the higher costs that come with abandoning county -owned locations to go purchase a privately owned one. That brought up the possibility of scrapping the latest plan to begin the land search again. "I think one of the things we need to consider is going back to the draw- ing board and considering county -owned land," Ro- driguez said. It wasn't clear by the end of the meeting wheth- er Rodriguez comments reflected a negotiating tactic to bring down the asking price of the inciner- ator sites, or whether there was momentum toward reconsidering Opa-locka West or even Doral. But the talk of res- tarting the sire hunt cap- tured the many logistical, financial and political hurdles standing between the commission and an incinerator ribbon -cutting ceremony. A big by a Broward County lawmaker working its way through the Flor- ida Legislature would create a set of environ- mental rules taking most incinerator sites off the table, but not the ones proposed by FCC and FPL. While Levine Cava wants a site large enough to house recycling, com- posting and other waste - management facilities, the larger footprint makes the real estate tab more ex- pensive. B commissioners vote to will get added to the more build a new incinerator, a than 340,000 homes that sizable chunk of the con- currently pay about $700 stmction tab ultimately per year for county trash Trucks dump trash collected around South Florida at the Miami -Dade Resources Recovery Facility-Covanta Energy incinerator plant at 6990 NW 97th Ave. in Doral on April 14, 2022. R4MAR SAY5 ro,�,� a f 41NER4 r0R se"How is it in the best interest of the taxpayers to buy a private piece of property when we have land we wn currently within our own portfolio?" asked Commissioner Da- nielle Cohen Higgins. For now, FCC and FPL are moving forward with their proposals.

That deal would come back to the commission in the spring, with the two companies planning to settle on a final site and development plan before a final vote in November. Construction would begin in 2029, with the inciner- ator running five years later, a moment that would allow the county to stop hauling all of its gar- bage to landfills across Florida. That's assuming the timeline doesn't get trashed by a new fight over incinerator locations. "We've lost way too much time," Commission- er Roberto Gonzalez said. "Wasting more time is going to cost taxpayers more money." FROM PAGE 3A MOBILE HOMES ally increasing as well," said state Sen. Colleen Burton of Winter Haven, one of the Senate bill's sponsors. The state's housing program intends to pro- mote homeownership — 65% of the funds have to go toward approved homeownership activities, like down payment financ- ing, emergency repairs and mortgage assistance. And while many mobile home owners own the trailers they live in, they typically rent the land beneath them, putting them in an ownership gray roBut their homes aren't typically mobile. They're often cemented into the ground and movable only at great expense. Because of that, said Burton, the bill classifies lot rental fees as a homeownership activity. That means that mobile home owners making less than 140% of area median income — 5123,900 for a family of four in Miami - Dade County — could qualify for up to six months of lot rental assist- an"We' re just putting [mobile home owners] on the same playing field as other residents of Flor- ida," said Burton. A stray cat lies on Northwest Sixth Street at the Lfl Abner Mobile Home Park on March 7 in Sweetwater. The park closed last year, displacing about 3.000 residents. DISPLACEMENT THREAT REMAINS Both the House and Senate bills require local governments to develop plans to help those affect- ed by mobile home park closures. FROM PAGE 3A MONEY the state hadn't answered questions about the spend- ing on the campaign from as own opioid advisory council "When the department was allocated funding through the Legislature for the opioid settlement fund- ing, One of the line items was money specifically set aside fora prevention cam- paign," Hans said. "The department had a number of different drug classes that we were going to be doing ads on. We started with marijuana, chiefly, because ... we are focused on prevention." Berman asked Hans twice to disclose the ex- tent to which the depart- ment worked with the governor's office on the campaign. Harris didn't answer the question, but the department had worked with the vendor, Strategic Digital Services, on other initiatives. Harris said the depart- ment had seen "numerous ampks where that partic- ular drug is a gateway into other drug use." She said Me had seen infant death reviews where "moms who had THC in their system rolled over and smothered their child." She added: "So, we had extreme cases, where we felt like education was necessary to clear up any confusion or to provide information on the dan- gers of that" Gov. Ron DeSantis moved Harris last year from the Department of Children and Families to the Agency for Health Care Administration, which oversees Medicaid. She is up for confirmation as secretary for the second straight year. Last year, Hans' confir- mation was held up by Sen. Don Gaeta, as the House and the media invesligated Hope Florida and a related charity's role as a pass -through for S10 million that went from a state Medicaid settlement to a political committee controlled by DeSantis' chief of staff. Hope Florida was helmed within the Depart- ment of Children and Fam- ilies. And records show the Agency for Health Care Administration led the negotiations that resulted in Medicaid contactor Centene paying S10 million from a $67 million agree- ment to the Hope Florida Foundation. The Health Policy panel gave Hans the nod of approval on Wednesday, and Gaeta, who sits on the panel, voted for Hans' confirmation. "I have had the opportu- nity to work with the sec- retary on legislation," Gaeta, a Pensacola Repub- lican, said before voting. "1 find her responsive. 1 find her intelligent and truthful and extremely willing to help and work with the Legislature. I'll be voting in favor of the sec- retary's confirmation enthusiastically." Gaetz's Ethics and Elec- tions committee deter- mines which confirmations will appear before the full Senate for a vote. His sup- port indicates Harris' con- firmation is likely to go through this year, allowing her to remain in the post overseeing the Medicaid agency.

One of those was the LPI Abner Mobile Home Park. Home to 15% of the city of Sweetwater's pop- ulation, LYI Abner's own- er, CREI Holdings, closed the park last year after decades to make way for the development of multi- family housing. Roughly 3,000 resi- dents, many of whom were seniors and low were displaced, pushing a number into homeless But while the bills order local governments to put together plans to help mobile home owners fac- ing park closure, they are mum on specifics, in- cluding whether displaced and lower -income mobile home owners are entitled to more than the 53,000 to 56,000 relocation pay- ments that are already guaranteed to them by the state. "Displacement can be a very expensive issue," said Burton, adding that it "would have to be funded separately." "My guess would be that may be the next thing that comes in front of us," she said. If enacted, the bill's provisions would take effect on July 1.

Todd B. Hannon City Clerk Ad No. 43907 tv, 4iai c I titliliertlt16Ra1141@a Venezuelan media sees signs that restrictions are loosening, but perils remain BY MP RLANCA ,Specks tow Mrwi Iln"W Traditional media out- lets in Venezuela that have been censored for years are daring to take a new direction following Nicolas Madura's capture by U.S. forces in early January. After years of harsh repression, television channels and social media accounts have begun to include the voic- e of opposition figures and relatives of political prisoners in their report- ing- But while regular citi- zens a shift in cov- erage, journalists warn that repression and fear remains an obstacle to their work. Free -to -air television channel Venevision has become a salient example of increasing media free- dom, incorporating con- tent that some Venezue- lans believe represents an important step towards restoring freedom of expression. One of the most nota- ble changes came at the end of January when the channel broadcast state- ments by exiled opposi- tion leader Maria Corinna Machado, who discussed her desire to return to Venezuela soon. The reporting prompted Interior Minister Dios- dado Cabello to react on his own program Con el maze danda — Striking with the hammer. "Listen to me, Venevision, listen up. Without media hype, [Machado's] figure fades away," he said. "Without headlines she simply disappears." Venevision is also coy - Ling the complaints of relatives of political pris- oners for the first time in years, and broadcasting opposition protests, such as the caravan last week led by Juan Pablo Guani- pa and other political leaders shortly after they were released from pri- son. In a sign of shifting tides, the channel even interviewed student lead- ers from the Central Uni- versity of Venezuela, who used the opportunity to call for a march on Feb. 12. Another state -run tele- alsvisionchannel, Televen, o ran en editorial about the student march, say- ing, "The true national unity is not uniform. 1t is the ability to agree on a common purpose: peace." Citizens say they have noticed the shift in media coverage and believe it suggests that it is becom- ing less dangerous to oppose the government. "1 think that with the attack ordered by Trump, they said 'enough is enough'. They no longer face the pressure they used to," said Margarita Carrasquel, a 68-year-old housewife who frequently watches Venevision. Natalia Gutierrez, a 51-year-old accountant, feels that the new cov- erage is a sign of how Venezuelans are tired of the Chavista government. She finds it "amazing" that an important channel like Venevision can report on political opposition, given that traditional media in the country is mostly dominated by the government. "1 think it's great that they can finally speak out and be given a voice, because here in Venezue- la, what they say on Channel 8 [ state televi- sion] is not what is hap- pening," she said. "Here, there is another reality." Designer Samuel Gon- zalez, 25, admits that he does not watch much television, but he has noticed on social media how Venevision is in- corporating a news agen- da that did not exist be- fore. "l think they are opening the door to com- municating information without fear again," he said. On social media, the Venevision Instagram count receives many comments from users applauding the editorial shift since Jan 3, the day Madura was captured. Messages include:"Vene- vision without fear", "The self -censorship they had is over" and "We Vene- zuelans are so happy for Venevision". CONTINUED PRESS FEAR AND REPRESSION While citizens say they have noticed a loosening of media constraints, Veneueli s journalists say this change is just a mall step on a long road to restoring freedom of expression in the country. Luis Carlos Diaz, a Venezuelan journalist and activist, describes the shift in media freedom as "millimetric," saying that the press continues to face repression. "The traditional media remain under the control of the National Tele- communications Com- m ission, which is still in the hands of the same military official," Jorge Elieser Marquez, Diaz said. "The only thing that has changed in recent Captured Venezuelan strognman Nicolas Madura aboard a U.S. warship weeks is that, as Venezue- la is in the international spotlight and there has been this change with the United States, some media outlets have moved forward a millim- eter. But it is only a mil- limeter." In 2017, the National Telecommunications Commission suspended transmission of CNN en Espanol from the country and has imposed strict controls on Venezuelan media outlets. Diaz described a "hn- ger for information" in the country, saying the population has been mis- informed for years due to censorship and the clo- sure of at least 400 radio and television stations, in addition to the blocking of social networks such as X. The journalist also pointed out that the com- mission has ordered many media outlets not to how opposition figures such as Machado. "As long as Conatel remains under the control of a military officer, that offi- cer has to show loyalty to [interim president] Delay Rodriguez and will con- tinue to censor," he said. Maria a reporter for a digital media outlet who asked for her last name not to be used for fear of government reprisals, said journalists remain nervous about doing their jobs. "We aastate of total uncertainty. There is a kind of calm, but that does not mean you can practice your profession or do your job peacefully. It simply means that per- haps they will not do anything to you at the moment," she said. To proher safety Maria matect intains security measures such as trav- elling in groups and delet- ing her chats in case her phone is searched by authorities. According to Diaz, the real break has yet to hap- pen, with websites still blocked, continued pres- sure against journalists, and the stigmatization of civil society organizations who provide independent information. He called for action from the government to demonstrate a commit- ment to a free press in- sisting primarily on the release of jailed journal- ists. At least four mem- bers of the press remain detained to date. 1n addition, Diaz said the National Telecommu- nications Commission must be autonomous and not controlled by the regime. He also stressed the importance of lifting bans on news outlets and removing digital block- e Diaz added that opposi- tion voices like Machado and Edmndo Gonrilez, the man who many peo- ple and western govern- ments believe won the presidential election in July 2024, must be al- lowed to be freely broad- cast regularly: "B only the opposition chosen by Chavismo can speak, then that is neither opposition nor the real country. The opposition leaders legiti- mized in elections must speak, and that has not happened so far." Still, some journalists fear that even if they are given these freedoms, it will be hard to move on after years of press re- pression. "1 think they'll tell me, 'It's all over, and you're free to say whatever you want,' and I'll be afraid to say it," Maria said. Brazil seeks extradition of Bolsonaro's former spy chief, now in exile in Florida BY MARIA CLARA TN trana.<aodtm y ardo mr Last December, Brazil's former spy chief was spot - led entering a luury resi- dence in on Laguna Circle in North Miami's posh SoLe Mia development. Alexandre Ramagem Rodrigues, 53, had Bed to Miami some three months earlier to escape trial in Brazil, where the Supreme Court sentenced him on Sept. 11 to 16 years in prison for participating in a 2023 coup attempt. Ramagem, who served as the Brazilian Intelli- gence Agency chief be- tween 2019-22, was iden- tified by Brazilian authori- ties as a member of the racial core" of the 2023 plot designed to keep Jau Bolsonaro in power. He has also been sentenced for using intelligence tools to illegally monitor oppo- nents of the former Brazi- lian leader, ranging from politicians to artists and journalists. Despite the Brazilian diplomatic passport he used to enter the U.S. being canceled in Decem- ber, Ramagem remains in exile in Florida as authori• ties in Brasilia seek his extradition. But it remains unclear if the Trump admInistrstion — which has defended Bolsonaro's innocence and imposed sanctions on Alexander Moraes, the Supreme Court judge prosecuting Ramagem — will comply with the re- quest ESCAPE TO MIAMI Ramagem was first spotted in Miami in De- cember by a Brass lion reporter who saw him and his wife entering Sole Mia, the massive 184-acre mas- ter -planed mini -city in Alexandre Ramagem Rodriguez North Mia- housing complex in Orian- mi. do.

Hickey, who dealt with extradition requests from the U.S., said the process can move quickly. It would first be evaluated by career line -level Justice employees, but the ulti- mate decision will go to senior political officials in the depanment. Further provisions allow the CIA and other in- telligence agencies to facilitate immigration status in the U.S. for sources that are providing classified information, and most extradition treaties have an exception for political offenses; that clause traditionally applies to things such as espion- age charges.

BOLSONARO IN PRISON Brazilian attorney Mar- co Aurelio de Carvelho, who is currently in charge of the defense of Peru s former first lady Nadine Heredia, who received diplomatic asylum from Brazil after a money laun- dering conviction in Peru, believes that the request might be accepted due to the international agree- ments Brazil has with the U.S. "Ramagem committed rtimes against democracy, against institutions, against the lisle of law, and is fleeing Brazilian jurisdiction", de Carvalho said. "This is absolutely indisputable and unques- tionable from every per- spective. Brazil and the United States are signeto- ries to international agree- ments, the circumstances of which have been clearly defined and are in place to sure that extradition proceeds with absolute speed." While the Brazilian government continues to press the extradition pro - a through its Washing- ton embassy, Ramagem remains the only member of the 2023 coup plot to have successfully escaped the country. Former presi- dent Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence in a Brazilian prison. The Herald attempted to contact Aleandre Ramagem Rodrigues but received no response as of the publication of Wednesday afternoon.
