Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. North Beach Elementary teacher accused of shoving neighbor outside condo; parent says suspect, 64, is 'very mean to kids' (wsvn.com) — A North Beach Elementary teacher in Miami Beach was arrested after police say he shoved a neighbor outside their condo, alarming parents but not involving any students. Families described past concerns about his temperament with kids and are now urging the school district to keep him out of classrooms while officials review his employment status.
2. Miami Beach Jewish Mayor Vows To Fight Removal Of Flock Cameras From State Roads (vinnews.com) — Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner is vowing to fight a new state order that forces police to remove Flock automated license plate cameras from state roads within 30 days, arguing it harms local public safety. The move could strip Miami Beach officers of a key tool for tracking suspects and guns, while reigniting statewide debates over surveillance, privacy, and local control of roads.
3. Colton, Woods win American Heritage golf event. Plus bowling, football, volleyball, more golf (miamiherald.com) — Miami Beach Senior High's football team rolled past St. Brendan 42-6, with quarterbacks combining for over 300 passing yards and multiple touchdowns in a standout offensive performance. The wider roundup highlights strong showings by other South Florida schools in golf, volleyball, bowling, and football, but Miami Beach fans get especially good news from this lopsided win.
4. Miami yacht captain accused of smuggling Colombian national from the Bahamas (miamiherald.com) — Federal agents intercepted a yacht just off Miami Beach and accused its captain, mate, and a passenger of helping a Colombian woman enter the U.S. without proper documents. The crew also faces allegations involving an undeclared handgun, turning a routine-looking trip from Bimini into a criminal immigration and firearms case tied directly to local waters.
5. NAMAD leaders tackle capital barriers and industry threats in Miami Beach (cbtnews.com) — National auto-dealer leaders are in Miami Beach this week for the NAMAD convention at the Fontainebleau, discussing how minority entrepreneurs can overcome capital hurdles to own dealerships. Their conversations in Miami Beach focus on rising store valuations, shifting industry pressures, and building a stronger pipeline of diverse owners nationwide, with calls for more advocacy and education.
