Overall
This school is wonderful, the teachers are great! caring loving, and nurturing. The security is above average, and so are the hours of operation. Pricing could be better but it is well worth it my child is 3 and comes home with home work! Would like to see more parent/child activities but overall it is a great school

Miami Lakes Educational Center and Technical College (MLECTC) Introduction and Academics
Introduction
Miami Lakes Educational Center is a truly unique school that is a hybrid of a normal high school and a professional, adult career training institution. Miami Lakes Educational Center, simply known as MLEC to locals and students, is hence known as a “dual-delivery” school, and it is the only one in Miami Dade County’s Public School System. This unique format makes MLEC an appealing choice for many adults looking to return to an educational environment as well as for local high school students looking to get that much more out of their four years of study.
The school campus occupies a total of 38 acres in the suburbs of Miami Lakes, comprising a total of six buildings, five of which are academic and the remaining building being used as the dining establishment for both adult and high school students. The school has a parking lot for some 800+ cars, mostly used by the commuting adult students (who, unlike the high school students, are not offered official transportation to and from the campus).
Information Summary
Academics
Full academic accreditation for Miami Lakes Educational Center is granted by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education.
The Miami Lakes Educational Center is split into five principal academies, which are: the Health Academy, the Cambridge Academy, the Communication and Entertainment Academy, the Telecommunications and Information Technology Academy, and the Entrepreneurship Academy.
MLEC is not a degree-granting institution, and therefore all adult technical/vocational programs are certificate based. Among the most popular areas of study among the student body are those focusing on transportation, nursing and emergency medicine.
High school students have the unique opportunity of receiving a double diploma upon graduation, earning themselves a vocational training program diploma along with their regular high school diploma.
In total, there are some 18 different vocational programs available at MLEC, with schedules during both regular daytime as well as evening hours to accommodate the needs of the working adults enrolled in the programs. MLEC does not offer any online or distance learning programs.

Admissions
The admissions policy at MLEC is open in the fullest sense of the term, and the requirements which applicants for the adult programs must meet are simply exceeding 16 years of age and having successfully finished high school studies. There are a few adult programs that have limited seating capacity and there for not all applicants will be accepted; in such cases, a pre-admissions interview will usually be conducted over the phone or in-person.
Application materials should be submitted roughly a month prior to the beginning of academic programs, which run on a trimester basis, starting in January, April and August.
Financial Aid
MLEC participates in the federal Title IV financial assistance programs, and adult students will therefore find a wide variety of resources available to them, with the main avenue to such resources being opened through submitting a FAFSA form.
The cost of education is determined by the amount of credits involved in a given trimester, and therefore expenses will fluctuate depending on what program a student is following. A little less than half of the student body receives some sort of local, state or federal financial assistance either in the form of grants or loans.
Student Financial Aid Details
Students
The student body at MLEC is fairly diverse, a relatively true reflection of the general demographics of this area of Florida (with African American and Hispanic students forming the bulk of the student population, followed by Caucasians). Though MLEC does accept out of state applicants, the level of in state students usually approaches 100% for a given academic period. Of the student body, roughly two-thirds are full-time and the other third are involved in their study program on a part-time basis. Unlike most schools in the nation, an overwhelming majority of MLEC’s student body (of roughly 1,500 people) is male. As mentioned, this is a commuter campus and there are no on-campus student housing options available.
There are a few different student constituted and supported organizations operating at MLEC, among which it is worth pointing out the Distributive Education Clubs of America, the Future Career and Community Leaders of America, the Health Occupations Students of America, the National Vocational Technical Honor Society, the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America and the In-School Chamber of Commerce.
Student Enrollment Demographics
Athletics
The MLEC mascot is the Jaguar. You can find the Jaguar’s proud footprints on their sites, calendar and newsletters. The high school program does offer and promote their extracurricular activities including various sports such as basketball. Their activities calendar provides dates for their pep rallies and games.
Post Grade 8,9,10,11 in Miami
America’s Education Programs are known around the world as some of the most innovative courses of study. Education in the United States is built on the basis of the latest teaching methods, the widespread use of computer technology, combined with historical teaching traditions. American certificates of secondary or higher education are quoted all over the world and can compete with British ones. Studying at a prestigious US university is a great opportunity to gain practical experience, develop personal creative and athletic abilities, and master academic disciplines at a high level.
Miami is a city in southeastern Florida, in Miami-Dade County. The city was founded in 1896 and is currently a financial, commercial, cultural and entertainment center. Hundreds of different companies and holdings are located in Miami, which has formed a special business atmosphere of the city.
This city attracts students from all over the world, which has objective reasons:
- High level of education
- The latest technical base of schools and universities
- A wonderful climate that allows not only to study, but also to enjoy school life, the amazing Atlantic Ocean and a lot of interesting activities
- A large number of foreigners, which allows you to get acquainted with different cultures
- Relatively low tuition fees compared to other states of America (the average cost of training is about 6 thousand dollars a year).
Education after 8.9class

History
South Florida was roamed by Native Americans (Tequesta, Calusa, and Jaega) probably centuries before the white pioneers advanced through the Little Hunting Ground (later known as the Miami Coconut Grove Neighborhood) to the Big Hunting Ground (now known as the Cutler area from Palmetto Bay). [6]
Wilson Alexander Larkins (1860–1946) was 36 years old when he, his wife (Kathy Estelle Burtashaw), five children, and their livestock arrived in Fort Dallas (now Miami’s Lummus Park Historic District) at 1896 year. He bought property west of Red Road and Sunset Drive, where he built a house and a barn. He also built the first general store east of the area in 1898 in what is today known as “Cartagena Plaza” or “Kokoplum Circle”. [7] (actually in Coral Gables, Florida) and as the community grew he established a post office there. Larkins became the first postmaster, a position he held for sixteen years; [8] he named the area Manila, but most of the settlers who began building houses around his shop preferred the name “Larkins” after him. [9]
The depot was placed along the Florida East Coast Railroad in 1904, and in the same year, John Moses Dowling built the first home within what is now South Miami city limits. His brother-in-law opened the first shop on the west side of the tracks, which was called the White Palace Grocery. [9]
Other notable historic families have historic buildings and streets named after them, such as Doorn Avenue (Southwest 59th Avenue) and the Shelley Building, among others. [7] Harold W. Dorn and his brother Robert moved to the area in 1910; their main interest was growing mangoes and avocados. [10] [11] Mary E. Dorn was the first President of Cocoplum Thimble Club, the first Women’s Club in Larkins. [9] In 1925 the Dorne Brothers built the Riviera Theater at 5700 South Dixie Highway; In 1934, Charles T. Fuchs moved his Holsum Bakery from Homestead to South Miami, on land where the Riviera Theater used to be.
The first African American to buy land in the Larkins area was Marshall Williamson, who moved there from Madison, Florida. He built his home at 6500 SW 60th Avenue and allowed it to be used for church services before it was completed. At 1916 hedonated land for St. John’s AME (African Methodist Episcopal), one of Larkins’ first churches and the first church in the black community; it is located at 6461 SW 59th Place. Williamson later also donated land to the J. R. E. Lee School. Because of his generosity, the black neighborhood became known as Madison Square, after Williamson’s hometown. Williamson died in 1972. Marshall Williamson Park, 6125 SW 68 Street, is named after him. [12] [13]
In 1926, the locals wanted to include their territory, and because of the booming city to their north, they chose the name “City of South Miami.” The original city limits were Red Road to the east, Kendall Drive to the south, Palmetto Road to the west (now the Palmetto Expressway), and Bird Road and Miller Drive to the north. 1926 also saw the first street lighting and the first incoming class of freshmen on the newly chartered University of Miami campus adjacent to the eastern city limits of South Miami along the Red Road (57th Avenue SW). That same year, the university-themed Cambridge Lawns neighborhood of South Miami, located just 0.7 miles (1.1 km) from campus. Cambridge Lawns Historic District, about 30 Tudor and Mediterranean Revival houses built in 1928, received historic recognition from the City of South Miami in 2005.
Also in 1926, South Miami was hit hard by the 1926 Miami Hurricane. The city’s leadership asked Congress to “exempt the population from income tax for the current year,” but no federal assistance followed. [6] Florida’s East Coast train station burned down, leaving the city without a station for years. Residents again hit by Hurricane Andrew at 19’92 and with Hurricane Bonnie (1998).
On June 25, 1927, W. A. Forster was sworn in as the first mayor of South Miami. [14]
In 1933, South Miami’s original six square miles were reduced to just over three miles (5 km) in an effort to reduce municipal responsibilities. In 1937, the size of the city shrank again, and many residents of the northern city sued to have them leave the city. This is why the city of South Miami has the most irregular borders of any city in Miami-Dade County today.
About Mid-Century South Miami, local historian Donna Shelley writes:
In the mid-1950s, South Miami was at the crossroads between town and country. Here you could buy hay for a horse and a tuxedo for a social event. The economy prospered after World War II: a bank, the First National Bank of South Miami, was established, new buildings were built, a hospital (South Miami Hospital) was opened, and the community flourished. Holsum Baking Company, which moved to South Miami from Homestead at 19The 30s made an important contribution to the growth of South Miami. Many longtime residents remember being awakened by the olfactory stimulation of bread baked at the Holsum Bakery on the corner of Sunset Drive and the Red Road. [7]
The construction of the current city hall building was approved by referendum in 1955. The Government Building on Sunset Drive, designed by architect Henry George Fink, was dedicated in October 1956 by Mayor Paul W. Tevis.
Jack Block was elected mayor of the city at 1968, and then was re-elected every two years until 1984, when, as he told interviewer Gregory Bush, “I didn’t like it.” [15] In that interview for the University of Miami Oral History Program, he took pictures of the history of South Miami when he told Bush (a professor of history at the University of Miami),
I moved here on March 6, 1956 and lived in the same house . I love this town. Sometimes you are annoyed by what is happening. This is a friendly community. Do you remember when they had riots? Overtown back to Nixon’s first inauguration. They had an agreement here. There were riots all over the city. In the city of South Miami, we had a big barbecue in the black area of one of the black parks. Where Jaycee and I cooked ribs all night long and all the white people were there serving the black community. And we didn’t have any problems. When there was a problem with the police, the black community would grab me and say, “Car with people coming from Coconut Grove,” and we could report it to the police. That’s our community. It’s a close-knit community. nowhere to be found [15]
In 1990 Katherine (Rutherford) McCann (1933–2009) was elected the first female mayor of South Miami and was re-elected in 1992. She was responsible for cleaning up South Miami after Hurricane Andrew; the Miami Herald wrote, “She had an encyclopedic knowledge of the South Miami City Charter. She advocated for affordable housing and responsible development.” [16]
In 2000, South Miami joined other municipalities in the country in forming city partnerships to promote cultural and economic development between cities around the world. South Miami is a member of Sister Cities International and has established relationships with the cities of Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands and Basseterre in St. Kitts and Nevis.

The nine-acre site of Holsum’s bakery has been known to the locals as the Bakery Center for decades, and businesses have come and gone at the site long after Holsum is gone.
A large complex called the Bakery Center A $35 million project was proposed in 1982. It was built and opened in 1985, but was not popular and was demolished in 1996. [25] Residents of South Miami complained about the architecture, which seemed off-limits to pedestrians, elitist, and too tall for a city that loved small, cozy buildings and family-friendly stores. (Historian Donna Shelley wrote about this essay titled “From Baking Dough to Wasting Dough to Losing Dough”; [25] The New York Times wrote in 1996 that “few retail projects have failed as badly as the Bread Center.” [26] ) Perhaps the only feature to admire was the outside: a huge mural by Richard Haas. [27] Investors failed to find enough small businesses to rent all the free space in the monolithic building. A consistently successful business, IMAX theater, was undervalued and shut down. [25]
In the 1990s, a large supermarket called Shops at Sunset Place A shopping and entertainment center was built on the site with a wide cozy entrance. The mall had many anchor stores, including Barnes & Noble (which has good community outreach programs), Gap, City Outfitters, Victoria’s Secrets, AMC Theaters site with 24 cinemas and restaurants, such as Johnny Rockets; but some have closed (including The Gap, Victoria’s Secrets, and the Johnny Rockets). Food is available in restaurants (eg on the sidewalk). crepe makers) and is a popular hangout for teenagers.
(The mall has its detractors. Gabriel Lopez-Bernal, urban planner praised Miami New Times for his “civic discourse” blog, [28] wrote: “Unlike its predecessor, Sunset Place was designed as an open Mediterranean community incorporating aspects of the former mall such as anchor tenants of large boxes of street restaurants, faux cityscapes and even a few residences.The center was originally intended to become an entertainment center, but some themed restaurants and an IMAX cinema were quickly abandoned quickly changed its intended intended use. Since its inception, the mall has struggled to maintain a strong and sustainable business base. ” [29] )
In 2015, Sunset Place Stores was acquired for $110.2 million by a joint venture between the Federal Real Estate Investment Fund (NYSE: FRT), Grass River Property of Coconut Grove and Comras Co. from Miami Beach. [30] So the mall is under new management. [31] and is trying to redevelop the site with plans for a new hotel and other improvements.

History
Sweetwater’s history actually began during the Florida land boom in the 1920s, when the Miami-Pittsburgh Land Company acquired the land and laid out the original site Sweetwater Groves. However, the 1926 Miami Hurricane and subsequent South Florida real estate “bust” put an end to the development of the enterprise. [9]
In 1938, Clyde Andrews purchased most of the Sweetwater Groves property and began selling lots. Among his buyers was a troupe of Russian gnomes looking for a place to retire after a career with the circus. They built several miniature houses to suit their needs. For years, Sweetwater has been known as the “dwarf” community. [9]
In 1941, Sweetwater held a successful election for registration. The first mayor of the new city was Joe Sanderlin, the guardian and steward of the dwarfs.

In the 2010s, only a few empty lots remained to be built up. In 2010, the city’s population increased to 13,499, of which 95.5% are of Hispanic origin. The city now boasts its own full-service police department, as well as four parks, an elementary school, a county fire station, 4,353 residences, 14 malls, over 600 businesses, several churches, and a bank.

Issue 19 – Florida Russian Magazine

Professor K. Ramseev-Ubykhov

To the children about the animals
Once upon a time, the Turkish poet of the Polish style Nazym Hikmet wrote poems, and the Soviet composer of the Armenian style David Tukhmanov set them to music and the wonderful song “Let’s Give the Globe of the Earth to Children!” the Romanian singer performed wonderfully and delighted all the peoples who inhabited the Soviet Union.
We also thought about it and decided to give something for the children for the summer holidays. Not the globe of the earth, of course, but something more mundane. We thought and thought and came up with: we will give Florida children and all the children who will come to Florida in the summer – information about our zoos.
We give!
Let’s start, of course, with the Miami Zoo. Its full name is The Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens.
Why with him? There are several reasons. First of all, it is closest to the editorial office, only an hour drive south of the city along the Florida Turnpike. In addition, the Miami Zoo is the oldest (1948d) and the largest in Florida, as well as the only tropical zoo in the United States. The Miami Zoo has over 2,000 animals. It is located on an area of 299 hectares.
Location: 12400 SW 152 Street, Miami, FL
Admission: Adults: $15.95; Seniors (65+): 25% off; Children (3-12): $11.95; Children (2 and under): Free
Let’s name some of the best, in our opinion, zoos in Florida:
Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Garden
There are more than 400 animals. There is a small show, as well as a children’s railway. Location: 3755 NW Hwy 17-92, Sanford, FL
Admission: Adults: $12.95; Seniors (60+): $10.95; Children (3-12): $8.95; Children (2 and under): Free
Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
The largest zoo in the northeast of the state. There are over 2,000 animals and birds here. Location: 370 Zoo Parkway, Jacksonville, FL
Seniors (65+): $12.95; Children (3-12): $9.95; Children (2 and under): Free
Lion Country Safari
This lion country safari is not very far from Miami. More than 9 live here00 animals. Location: 2003 Lion Country Safari Road, Loxahatchee, FL
Admission: Adults: $27.50; Seniors (65+): $24.50 Children (3-9): $20.50; Children (2 and under): Free
Tampa Bay’s Lowry Park Zoo and Bush Gardens
We recommend visiting this park, but it is advisable that you come to Tampa for a few days. Because in the same city there is a unique animal and amusement park Bush Gardens.
Location: 1101 West Slight Avenue, Tampa, FL
Admission: Adults: $23.95; Seniors (60+): $21.95 Children (3-11): $18.95; Children (2 and under): Free

Miami wins in a dispute between four great cities!
Multibillion-dollar construction developer and investment firm Abu Dhabi Financial Group is exploring high-rise investments in Miami.
According to the company’s CEO Jassim Alseddigi, out of their four most attractive cities: London, Miami, Los Angeles and New York, their choice fell on Miami as “the most promising”.
Abu Dhabi Financial Group’s recent major investment is the £370 million purchase of New Scotland Yard in London. In addition, they paid £310m to develop a project overlooking Buckingham Palace.
And in Dubai, with our Florida Seminole owners of Hard Rock Cafe, the company is building the Hard Rock to Marina 101. This 1,417-foot skyscraper will be the tallest residential building in the world.
Let’s see what architectural marvels the nouveau riche from Abu Dhabi Financial Group will bring to us in Miami.
Run my boat!
A pretty swarthy girl looked at my driver’s license and said:
– Alexander, from this year we will charge you half the price for using the boat launching ramp, not 160 bucks, but only 80 bucks for the year.
“Not bad,” I agreed easily. – You are probably from Cuba and decided to thank me for the fact that in my childhood I fought for your freedom and shouted: “Cuba si, Yanquis no!”
“No,” she laughed, “I’m from Guatemala. And the discount is for you, because you are now “Senior Citizen.”
– But I work and do not receive a pension.
“It doesn’t matter,” she said. Are you already 62 years old? So – “Senior Citizen”.
Well, I thought, the older I get, the more benefits I find in age.
On the one hand – young and carefree, and on the other – here you go! – seigneur citizen, respected citizen, respectable aksakal, – freeze and listen, go and look … take me, take me to him, I want to see this man!

Chinese Syndrome
In Miami we have Little Havana, Little Haiti, Russian Sunny Isles, Ojus in Israel, Surfside in Argentina, Doral in Colombia, Weston and Weston and Weston in Miami. But! We still didn’t have our own Chinatown. Can you imagine New York, Boston or San Francisco without Chinatown? Well, why are we worse?
Chinese businessman Dr. Shangjie Li took charge of the situation. Together with the American company Da Tang Group, he intends to start building high-end housing for the Chinese elite in Miami. A spokesman for Dr. Lee said that Miami’s attractive climate, clean air and water, and glamorous shops and malls attract Chinese customers.
Like everything else being built in Miami lately, Chinatown will be very different from those in other cities. Instead of narrow streets and cheap shops, there are super-modern buildings and expensive shops that will fit into the interior of the downtown.
Let’s hope that next Chinese New Year we will celebrate right on the streets of Miami – with dragons and lanterns, as well as with flags from Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico … every year we celebrate Calle Ocho.
Hello Nabokov!
Among the remarkable properties of our state there is one more, which, as in Vysotsky’s song, “is especially noticeable in the distance.” He is very democratic, there is little superficial foppishness, idle talk and snobbery in him.
Somehow they started talking about snobs in the company. And I remembered this story.
Some years ago I lived in Massachusetts, worked in a Russian Boston magazine, and moonlighted in the same Boston as a taxi driver. One autumn night, I was taking a passenger from Logan Airport to Wellesley College.
The trip is very good, because in the direction of the house. And it was already hours, maybe 12 at night, and such luck rarely falls. But the man turned out to be evil. As soon as he sat down, he immediately began to grumble with displeasure that because of the vile weather, he almost traveled from Philadelphia for a day. That he was a professor at that most famous Wellesley College, and because of the fucking New England weather, his lecture was cancelled.
I must say that Boston’s Logan Airport is located on an island. To get out of it to Boston or onto the highway, you need to dive into one of the two tunnels. I asked my uncle which tunnel to take, because one is a little further, but it is new and fast, and the other is a little closer, but there are traffic jams even at night, especially today, when flights are canceled and many passengers return home.
Here the man howled, he began to yell how tired he was of everything and everyone, especially immigrants. Well, in general, the aria from the opera “Come in large numbers here!”
I must admit that this is the first time I have encountered such rudeness, because in general Americans are well-mannered, friendly and not picky. And here, the infection, carries and carries: we don’t learn the language, we don’t know the traditions, illiterate ignoramuses, ignorant boobies … I was silent, because I started work at 6 in the morning, and wet snow blinds the glass, visibility is lousy, and he is right, of course, I’m lazy, I don’t study English, I speak like a Turkmen from the market, understand at your level…
I was even upset.
Then I caught it, again he is pulling something at me. What, I say, sorry, I didn’t hear, I thought about my girlhood. He repeats: do you, they say, at least know that there is great American literature, at least when you held a book in your hands, at least you can name one name? I fidgeted guiltily in my seat, saying, well, they say, I was reading something, but I drove, and you are a professor. You first name the Russian writers for me, and then I will try the American ones. He says OK, look: Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov, Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn, Sholokhov…
And shut up, you son of a bitch.
I looked in the mirror, and he moves his lips from the tension. But I didn’t remember anymore. Even Nabokov, although Vladimir Vladimirovich once taught at the same Wellesley College and even the station in the town of Framingham, where I then lived, is mentioned in Luzhin’s Defense. But he didn’t remember Nabokov, or maybe he considered him an American writer, I don’t know.
I started with those who I might not immediately remember, with Longfellow, Forst, Washington Irving, Eliot, Bret Garth, Beecher Stowe, Alan Poe, Bukowski, Miller, Stine … And the rest, whom I knew from childhood and from my dad listened on my knees, flooded on the machine: London, Mine Reed, Mark Twain, Saroyan, Asimov, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Dreiser, Hemingway, Harper Lee, Steinbeck, Sellinger, Tennessee Williams . ..
In general, when this snob settled with me, he was no longer so annoyed. Rather confused. He gave a good guy (that’s how we call tips), and then asked:
– Have you always worked as a taxi driver?
“Of course,” I lied, “who else. –
And added:
– And I like this job.
And that was the real truth.
The French are right there
I don’t know if there is an analogue in French of the Russian proverb “The fish is looking for where it is deeper, and the man is looking for where it is better”, but judging by how actively the French invest their money in real estate in South Florida, this saying is not alien to them.
Peggy Fazzi, chief executive of OneWorld Properties, argues that the desire of Europeans and, in particular, the French, to invest in real estate in Miami and other Florida cities is due not only to the sharp fall of the euro, but also to the attractiveness of the resort. “Miami is a good place to invest money,” she says.
OneWorld Properties is the exclusive seller of apartments in the Paramount Miami Worldcenter under construction. This 60-storey luxury building attracts many French people. The area of apartments here varies from 1300 sq. feet to 2300 sq. feet, with prices ranging from $700,000 to $1.5 million. Penthouses and two-story waterfront villas will cost up to $5 million.
Daniel de la Vega, president of ONE Sotheby’s, said he is also seeing a rise in French buyers in Miami. He believes that this is not only a reasonable, but also a very calculated investment, since over the next 15-20 years, the cost of housing in Miami will equal the value of real estate in Los Angeles, New York and Hong Kong.
And they eat Russian fat!
Today, on the beach near the Marco Polo Hotel in Sunny Isles, I found five Russian pregnant girls at once.
They stood in a picturesque circle, putting their barrels with the future Vanyas and Tanyas in the center of the circle and twittering rather cheerfully about something about their pre-mother.
Usually I see two or three pregnant Russian ladies on the beach, but here there are five at once. Apparently, the flow of women in labor from Russia is increasing.
Well, to your health, let Russian-speaking Americans be born, these are all our potential readers!
It’s just not very clear how this is combined with patriotism and anti-Americanism, endlessly inflated on Russian websites. It turns out that, on the one hand, America is not loved and despised, on the other hand, are we going to give birth here in order to give the baby American citizenship?
Some kind of inconsistency. After all, the fabulist and hymnomaker Sergei Mikhalkov warned patriotically intemperate citizens: make up your mind, dear, either our domestic fat, or their lack of spirituality.
Symbol of Miami
For Miamians, Freedom Tower is the same as Westminster Abbey for Londoners; for Parisians, the Eiffel Tower; for Venetians, St. Mark’s Cathedral is the symbol of the city. It is no coincidence that this 17-storey building is located in the very center of Miami, directly opposite the main gate of Miami – the seaport.
No, not by chance. Just as it is no coincidence that this building is called the “Ellis Island of the South.” But only through New York’s Ellis Island did our ancestors once pass – immigrants from the Russian Empire and the countries of Eastern Europe. And the Freedom Tower met smiles and tears of Cuban refugees.
More than 5 decades have passed since those glorious days (by the way, the process of paperwork and naturalization of Cuban immigrants in the Freedom Tower is shown in sufficient detail in the cult film “The Scarred Man”). Cuba is reopened to Americans. However, the building still houses the largest library of Cuban literature and the American-Cuban Foundation. In addition, Miami Dade College was located here for many years.
But just recently, college president Eduardo Padron announced that an agreement had been reached between the college and the US State Department, according to which the Freedom Tower would become the largest Media Center in the Americas – North and South. From now on, the offices of the media writing and broadcasting in Spanish and Portuguese will be located here. Government officials say 30 million to 40 million Americans and Hispanics are expected to listen and read the Freedom Tower news.
The most curious thing about this story is that until 1957 a newspaper was located in the Freedom Tower. It was called Miami News. So the tradition of receiving Miami news from the very center of Miami has been preserved.
Dreams, dreams, what is your sweetness?
American Dream Miami – “American Dream Miami” – this is how the designers of America’s largest shopping center decided to call it somewhat pretentiously. This $4 billion mall will stand out even against the backdrop of big malls such as Brickell City, Miami Worldcenter and Aventura Mall, the way a professional basketball team’s center stands out next to ordinary people.
The building site for this is West Miami, in the Miami Lakes area. Here, among the farmland approaching the swamps of the Everglades reserve, there is where to turn around. And you have to turn around. Because American Dream Miami will become not only the largest mall, but also the most unusual. After all, along with numerous shops, restaurants and cinemas, there will be a theme park, mini golf, an artificial ski slope, mini Legoland, a water park, a beach and a lake with underwater attractions, an ice rink, a dancing fountain, like in the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, as well as a Ferris wheel of such dimensions that from its highest point you can see the ocean! Two hotels and residential areas will appear next to the giant mall, as it is assumed that 25,000 employees will serve the new shopping center!
Up to the very tomatoes
Who has what: Aunt Sonya has cherries in the garden, and we have ripe tomatoes. On this occasion, here is what I remembered. In about the year 1977, I got a job at the Bulletin of the State Professional Education Bureau “Working Shift”, which much later became the magazine “Sail”. At Work Shift, because it was a newsletter and not a magazine, the pay was low, but there was a good team and plenty of free time.
I really wanted to get there. Eric Schur gave me the task to write a report about how children in the vocational school of the automobile plant love to sing in chorus, and Ira Pavlyuchik asked me to write about how well children from some other school worked picking tomatoes in Moldova (now Moldova).
In the three years that have passed after university, I managed to work in two rural schools, the Urozhay publishing house, in the children’s editorial office on the radio, in the Melioration and Water Management bulletin and in the transport newspaper, and therefore I learned how to “sculpt a hunchback” quite tolerably . The report about the choir was traditionally called “Building and living helps” and Eric, grinning, accepted it, it seems that he didn’t even correct it.
I don’t remember the name of the report about tomatoes, but there was a dashing ending: the students were walking around the city and suddenly they saw – a queue for tomatoes, and on the boxes – the name of the collective farm where they worked hard. And they were delighted and shouted: “Boys, these are our tomatoes!”
Well, such a collision or illusion, I don’t know how to do it right.
Ira Pavlyuchik also accepted the report, but at the last phrase she suddenly began to laugh wildly for some reason. And then she said that when she was an intern at the Leningrad Smena, her head of the department, an old beaten journalist, always after a big drink that happened to him, however, every day, said: “Yesterday I got drunk on the very tomatoes.”
And I remembered all this because the girl Xenia from the city of Vilnius asked what news was in the editorial office. Like these ones.

And the Motherland is dearer…
On one of my regular visits to my beloved mother-in-law in Minsk, I get on a minibus to bring food from the Komarovsky market. Suddenly, someone from the back seat calls out to me. I recognize Vasya T., with whom, around 1972, he lived in a student dormitory on the Park Highway (later Masherov Avenue, now Pobediteley Avenue). “Sasha,” Vasya says quietly to me. “You, they say, live in Miami.” “Yes,” I say, “Vasya, I live there.” “Aren’t you bored without your homeland? Well, what’s good there?
I must admit that I did not quite understand which of my many homelands he had in mind: the urban village of Dagomys, where I was born and raised, or the city of Greater Sochi, or the entire Caucasus in general? Or maybe the Soviet Union, or Russia, or the Republic of Belarus, where he studied and got married and even had children? But he didn’t elaborate.
“What to do,” I say, “Vasya. You, after all, are also years, probably forty years, since Krichev left his native. And what did you find here, in the city of Minsk, alien to your heart? Trigonometry should be taught to convicts in prison on Opanskogo?” “Yes, maybe you are right, but it’s only Miami far away, somewhere on the edge of the earth,” Vasya said, and sadly looked out the dirty window of the minibus.

Two clowns in one phaeton
From the series “Floridians about themselves”. Vilen Melikjanyan.
After the successful tour of the Armenian circus group in the Moscow circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard and the triumphal debut of Leonid Yengibarov in the capital’s arena, we were sent on our first trip abroad.
And that was in 1961. Gagarin flew into near space, and we went to near Poland. I was then an acrobat jumper and, at the same time, a voluntary assistant to my friend, the victorious clown Leonid Yengibarov.
At the end of the final performance in Krakow, while we were packing our circus belongings, night fell. All public canteens are now closed. In those ancient times, our artists stocked up on food in advance on a trip abroad: cans of stews, condensed milk, dry sausage, canned fish, crackers … in order to save their meager daily allowance for buying scarce foreign “clothings”. But, alas, Lenya and I were not so prudent and practical. Unlike others, we ate at canteens, buffets, and then squandered the earned Polish zlotys.
– What are we going to do, old man? – Lenya turned to me. “We shouldn’t have clown shoes for dinner.”
– What do you suggest? I answered the question with a question.
– Ask Lyudmila Alexandrovna to allow us, as an exception, to go to the night bar.
– Why me? I rebelled.
– Because for some reason she is supportive of you, quiet one. And, alas, Madame does not trust me.
The fact is that, according to the established procedure, every day at twelve o’clock in the morning, a person appointed by the authorities made a check round through the rooms and reported to the leader of the trip, Lyudmila Alexandrovna, about the presence of artists in their assigned places. In general, it was a kind of curfew.
Suppressing my natural timidity, I finally explained our situation to her as well as I could.
“All right,” she agreed, to my surprise. – You go to the hotel and go to bed. After the bypass, as discreetly as possible, leave. For no one to see! But remember, you answer with your head for Leonid.
So we ended up in a club under the exotic name of Ciganiero. The nightlife was already in full swing. Deafeningly loud, outlandish then for us, electronic music sounded. Almost naked beauties danced on the stage under the impulses of dazzling light and black darkness. Here it is, freedom! Here it is, the forbidden fruit! Enjoy!
Completely intoxicated by this tempting spectacle, and even more so by the drunk vodka, I lost my vigilance. Lenya was recognized and dragged to him by different companies. And I didn’t care anymore…
– Wake up, old man, it’s already noon. Let’s go and have breakfast, – I heard Leni’s voice as if from a deep barrel.
I opened my eyes and in horror grabbed the bed with both hands, which for some reason hung on the ceiling, and the floor was far below me. His head was spinning unbearably.
– What kind of breakfast is there, it makes me sick …
Lenya made me get up and led me to a noisy workers’ and peasants’ canteen, where the smoke was like a yoke. I got worse. He ordered two roast goose with boiled potatoes and two large mugs of beer. I got even worse.
– You just sip, at least once.
I swallowed the nauseating beer in disgust. We got talking. Still sipped. And further. And one more thing… I didn’t notice how I emptied my plate with appetite, and then my mug. We chatted, laughed. I felt myself in some kind of pleasant weightlessness.
Then, we hired a phaeton with a colorful coachman, rode through the streets of ancient, romantic Krakow. Under the rhythmic clatter of horse hooves, we recited poems and generously threw handfuls of change coins to the kids chasing us.
This is how an unknown street photographer captured us 54 years ago…
Golf is a game of the brave!
A well-versed sports journalist Efim (Erik) Shur once proved to me that one of the most dangerous sports is chess. Because if you suddenly doze off during the game, you can inadvertently poke your eye at the queen.
Joke, of course. But in every joke, as you know, there is a share of a joke. Let’s say golf. It is also quite a peaceful sport. What if you take a closer look? Yes, take a closer look at this recent photo taken at the Myakka Pines Golf Club in Englewood, near Sarasota!
According to eyewitnesses Dick Huber and Bill Susie who took this picture, the giant alligator on the golf course behaved quite worthily, corresponding to this noble game with its manners. True, they did not specify whether they continued the game or nevertheless waited for the workers from the animal protection service, who sent the alligator to their native swamp.
Fly, butterflies, fly, there is no barrier anywhere for you!
It’s good to have friends. Few, but smart.
Remember passion fruit? I wrote about her once. Too lazy to repeat, and therefore I will quote from Wikipedia:
“Passionfruit, or edible Passionflower, or Edible Passiflora, or Purple Granadilla (lat. Passiflora edulis) is an evergreen tropical vine, a plant species from the genus Passionflower (Passiflora) of the Passionflower family (Passifloraceae)”.
I found out for days that my young edible passionflower, as well as purple granadilla, are being gnawed by orange caterpillars. Small but cheeky. And so I decided that as a reward for writing each ingenious proposal, I would go out into the garden and catch harmful caterpillars.
In the evening, my friend and biologist Galya Negruk, the author of Florida, called, and I boasted to her that I wrote several brilliant proposals, thus catching several caterpillar pests.
And Galya told me that beautiful butterflies will grow out of these caterpillars.
And I decided to stop fighting caterpillars for beautiful butterflies. Beautiful butterflies will land on the beautiful purple flowers of purple granadilla, and everyone will be happy.
And I also remembered how on January 1 my other smart friend, designer Lina Nikolskaya, came to visit me and brought passionfruit fruits from her garden as a gift. And we sat with her in a grape arbor, drank cognac and ate passion fruit. And it was good. As it should be on the first day of the new year in a quiet Florida garden.
And I also remembered Tatyana Levchenko, whom I don’t personally know as much as I know Galina Negruk and Lina Nikolskaya and have never even seen, but who once reminded me on Facebook of the title of Ray Bradbury’s story “Thunder Came!”.
In this story, sightseers accidentally trampled on a butterfly. And the world has changed.
Well, something like this: friends, passion fruit, butterflies, a world that will save beauty …
I think it’s a good series, right?

Jack Neuhausen’s American Epic
From the “Books of Our Authors” series
The book of a longtime author and friend of our magazine, writer and traveler Jack Neuhausen, is published.
This is an exquisitely and richly published tome with hundreds of photographs depicting numerous fragments of the life and adventures of this unusual person in all respects.
It’s nice that many of the stories told in the book were once published in Florida magazine.
We congratulate Jack and offer you a small excerpt from it, which, in our opinion, will reveal the idea of the book more fully.
“It’s hard to believe that my book is ready for publication.
Thanks to everyone who for many years pushed me to this gigantic, as it turned out, work.
“Why can’t you write down everything you’ve been telling us for years?” – I often heard this from Aelita and Raffaella at home, and from Riga residents during our meetings in Latvia, America, Canada …
Alexander Rosin, publisher of the American monthly magazine Florida for three years my stories were published by the Bonus magazine in Toronto. And the editor Anna Girsheva, who made a significant contribution to its creation, told about how the idea of this book was born. I am grateful to everyone who sent responses to my stories, supplemented them with their memories, advised, encouraged, criticized . .. It is impossible to list everyone! Most of you will find yourself in the pages of a book – in stories, in pictures…
In total, the preparation of the “epopee” that you hold in your hands took 5 years. A noticeable impulse already at the final stage of the work was a completely unexpected fact for me: several of my stories were published in the Anthology of Russian Writers of North America by its compiler Gennady Nord, a wonderful poet, composer, and artist. So, with his light hand, I was among the best Russian-speaking authors abroad, presented in a multi-volume collection published in Moscow in 2013.
Quotations and epigraphs, of which there are quite a lot in my book, I collected, without exaggeration, from a young age – I adopted this good habit from my dad, whose extracts from what I read I carefully keep and also used in the book.
Unlike many authors who at the end of their work express numerous thanks to their family (“thanks for the support during the “birth” of this book, thanks for the patience”, etc. , etc.), I want to do exactly the right thing. to another, I’ll just kiss Aelita! Thank you, my Muse, that all the last three years, when my “Riga film” and further events “manifested” on these pages, I felt so much fun and easy, and sometimes even better than in other years of our long life together. You, Aelita, perfectly know my favorite motto, and I will remind all my readers, old and new, once again:
The best is ahead of us!
The Best is yet to come!

The Great Power of Autosuggestion
I remember two funny stories about this.
In our editorial office in “Working Shift” (“Sail”), a huge map of the Soviet Union hung over the sofa. My friend and Head of Career Guidance, Eric Schur, drew his travel itineraries in blue pencil, and I in red. He flew more and more to the European north, to the Baltic states and to St. Petersburg, and I flew to the Far East, Siberia and, of course, the Caucasus. We competed who had the longest routes. Once he even cheated in the heat of the moment, drew a route from Murmansk through Finland. As a vindictive person, I could not forgive him for this forgery for a long time.
In general, on the way back I often flew for a day or two to Dagomys to visit my parents. February 1987, I am returning from Svaneti, where I was reporting on avalanches. It was a terrible story, many people died there then. I got tired. He descended to Kutaisi, from there familiar helicopter pilots dropped him off to Zugdidi, and from there on the other side to Sukhumi. There I spent the night at a friend’s house and made my way to my father’s house by train.
I go in, no one meets me, no joyful oohs, complete silence. I look, my parents are silently sitting in front of the receiver. I ask what happened? Quiet! – they waved their hands at me, and continue to sit. The most interesting thing is that the box is also silent, no voice of Levitan or who was already there instead of him. I was a little scared: passions in Svaneti, and here also the parents, as the Belarusians say, have moved out of their heads, just some kind of attack. Finally, after some minutes, the radio started talking and my parents began to hug me and rejoice at the arrival of the prodigal son. In general, it turned out that Chumak was silent on the radio, and the parents were being treated at this time and charging the water with energy. Mom assured me that the swelling in her legs was going away. Where did this Chumak go then, I don’t know, but after that his parents lived happily for a long time without his silence. Or maybe the energy that they charged was enough for many years. How does anyone know?
Another story was told to me today. An aunt from Miami went on a cruise to the Bahamas with a large group. There are such huge steamships that you hardly feel even a serious wave. But somehow she got sick. Someone suggested that there are such special pagers, they are pasted behind the ear and everything goes away. For some reason, Auntie didn’t go to the ship’s doctor, but went down to her cabin, found multi-colored circles in the desk drawer and stuck them on her ears. All her problems immediately disappeared, she even got into a spree for joy, and alcohol did not in the least interfere with her renewed body behind the ears. Only just before disembarking in the port of Miami, it turned out that these circles had to be sculpted on suitcases so that the loaders could determine by color which deck they were from and correctly placed them at customs. But that didn’t matter anymore, because she never got seasick on the ground.
Everyone is dancing!
May 15, 2015 at the concert hall North Miami Beach Julius Littman Performing Arts Theater, on 19th Avenue, will host a new grandiose and unforgettable dance show for children on Broadway “21st century Wall”.
This is an incredibly colorful, groovy and bright spectacle, which is staged in such a way that it is interesting for everyone: both adults and those who are seriously interested in ballroom dancing, and children of all ages.
Before us is the most fascinating geography and ethnography of dances. So in the context of ballroom dancing there are many elements of modern dance culture, which is also reflected in the bright attire of the performers. For example, the foxtrot is danced in clothes that were worn in America in the 50s or 60s.
Maksym Shklyaryk became one of the producers and directors of this show. Maxim is a 9-time champion of Ukraine in ballroom dancing, a 4-time champion in Latin dancing, a semi-finalist of the Blackpool youth championship in London, a laureate of the Italian Open championship in Latin dancing. Behind him is 22 years of teaching dance experience for children and adults, many of his students later became winners of the Ukrainian dance competition with stars, European champions, finalists of the most prestigious Blackpool tournament in England.
Now the work of the master can be seen here in Miami! Well, isn’t that a godsend!
Together with Maxim on the stage – one of the strongest ballroom dance coaches, the head and owner of the VK Dance dance hall Viktor Kanevsky, a great dancer, coach and choreographer Andrey Zemlyanka and the amazing Inessa Tanova.
In addition, 50 children of different ages and levels of training will take part in the new production.
Talented and graceful Polina Dyachenko, one of the best pupils of Maksim Shklyarik, will perform as a guest star.
As a person who has devoted many years to choreography and dancing, I can say with confidence that the ballroom dance festival expected by everyone in Miami will be a real event for our city and for the whole of Florida.
Moreover, it seems to me that May 15 will go down in the history of our state as the birthday of a new theatre: BALL DANCE THEATER RUSIAN VK DANCE SHOW!
We wish success to the stars and young artists!

COGITO ERGO SUM / I think, therefore I am
Do you know what scares me? There is no war or political alignments, no reorganization of the world. I am afraid of the new generation’s loss of the ability to think – that’s what can lead to tragedy. I watch with anxiety how our kids go to school with electronic fillings and do not know the multiplication table. Why are there kids, my adult grandchildren, who were born here in America, remind me of Fonvizin’s Undergrowth.
We, the older generation, paradoxically, can be proud of the education received “there”, because, fortunately, we were taught not on tests, but to think and remember, and therefore to develop our memory. We remember the multiplication table, verb conjugation, geography, history and much more, and we keep it all in our heads. Now, when I asked a neighbor boy who graduated from school this year, where is the state of Peru, he said: “One moment, sorry, I take my computer” – I almost fell, because we are on the same continent! But when I told my adult grandson in detail from memory how we went from Leningrad to Wellington (Australia), and he asked me what brand of GPS we had, I was completely dumb. I tried to tell him. that this system is new. But he couldn’t comprehend: “How you have found a way. ” I’m not against progress. On the contrary. Modern electronics has freed a person from routine calculations, bulky crackling arithmometers and desktop “knuckles”, huge computers. But the memory of a person is a unique gift that allows you to think, which distinguishes a person from the rest of the living world.
The fact that some adults are at odds with simple arithmetic, I was personally convinced. I was cheated at the store by accident. I told the cashier that if the bottle was $2.99, then four would have to be subtracted four cents from $12, which would be correct, but not $15. She counted and called the manager, who checked on another cash register. Of course, I was right. But the point is not an apology, but the fact that when I said count in your mind, they looked at me suspiciously. I do not want to question everyone, but when children, instead of the simplest calculations in their heads, do it on a counter, this is an alarming signal.
Human memory needs to be loaded and the more the better. We are so accustomed to electronics, as if we live with it all our lives. TV corrupts us, many are used to it like a drug. You always quickly get used to good things. But after all, my generation was not like that, our main thing was practical skills stored in memory. And this is our happiness. All electronic devices have a power source. If you turn it off – the device is useless – you can chop nuts with it. And for many, this is either an inconvenience or a tragedy. I came to the doctor’s appointment on time, but did not get in due to a computer failure. Isn’t it possible to have a regular log book for insurance purposes? When I said this, they took me for a savage. For the same reason, the pharmacy did not work for half a day, gathering a huge crowd of dissatisfied people – they need a cure, not a reason.
The rapid development of electronics came to the fleet. The first Magnovox satellite navigation systems appeared in our country in the early 1980s. No mental actions: remove the coordinates from the screen and transfer them to the map – that’s all, you don’t even need a navigational education. But it turned out not to be so. The first tragic signal of the re-entrusting of man to instruments sounded on July 25, 1950, when on the way to New York, at Cape Nantucket, two passenger ships collided – the Italian Andrea Doria and the Swedish Stockholm. The second – on the Black Sea on August 31, 1985g., when there was a collision between the passenger p/v “Admiral Nakhimov” and the cargo “Pyotr Vasev”. In both cases, the commissions found that the captains and their subordinates forgot to calculate the usual divergence maneuver (velocity triangle), and operated only with marks on the locator screen. There are times when, for technical reasons, the ship is de-energized and the transition to another power source takes a few seconds, but this is enough for the electronic device to fail. True, then they came up with compensators. But failures of instruments, especially gyrocompasses, terrified young navigators.
In order not to forget nautical astronomy, dead reckoning and a magnetic compass, and other navigational skills and wisdom, many captains (including myself) turned off all electronics for a day in the open ocean so that young navigators would remember their “bread”. For this purpose, the Maritime Service has developed a special circular.
Jokers called this day “a monument to Columbus”. But they brought great benefits, forcing the brains to work. As one Nobel laureate aptly said: “Progress is prosperity and the enemy of man.”
Everyone knows that memory can be mechanical and logical. The first is the memorization (memorization) of any material, and the second is a meaningful retelling of this. If the simplest calculations within a table from zero to a thousand are done on a calculating machine, logical memory disappears and this is scary for children – they stop thinking. Once the Babylonians invented clay tablets, then the ancient Egyptians – papyrus, and, finally, in Europe century, paper appeared – thanks to this, people began to help their memory with notes and came up with diaries or notebooks. Back in my youth, one of my wise teachers said: the brain is not made of rubber, you won’t remember everything, but if you make some note about the event, you will remember it for the rest of your life, which I did. Thanks to this, already at an advanced age I was able to write (and continue) everything that I keep in my memory for a long time.
I do not call for caves, but mankind has strongly entrusted its memory to computer memory. No wonder the Americans, who have always sought to “computerize” everyone and everything, are now asking citizens to keep in mind the ten most important citizen identification numbers, since electronic thieves have appeared. Therefore, and not only, you need to train your memory at any age – it’s like a daily physical exercise of the body – otherwise everything will atrophy.
If you meet a friend and forgot his name – this is already an alarming symptom. There are thousands of ways and recommendations for memory training – I have my own. The main thing is to make it a habit and you will not look for the glasses that you have on your forehead.
Little advice:
If your children or grandchildren ask you to buy a new smartphone, ask them how it differs from the old one in pixels and kilobytes. If they answer in a way that you understand too, buy.

The Brazilians are in the game!
More recently, active buyers in the real estate market in Miami were the Argentines, then they were pressed by the Venezuelans, who, in turn, gave the palm to the Russians. But now the new year has come, and with it new songs. They were sung by expansive Brazilians. According to the Miami Association of Realtors, mulatto women and men in white trousers from the dreams of Ostap Bender, from the stands of the Maracana stadium and from the Copacabana embankment, joyful and smartly rushed to Miami beaches and streets, buying ready-made real estate and thinking about new buildings.
Following the Brazilians, according to the same Miami Association of Realtors, Colombian farmers from coffee and hemp plantations, as well as Russian and Venezuelan oilmen, are sailing towards us through the Gulf of Mexico. We will accept everyone, we will warm everyone and, as the railroad workers say, we will give each passenger a soft spot.
“Sharp warming” is canceled
As you know, Democrat Albert Gore blew Bush Jr.’s presidential race. Well, well, it happens. But, he bounced back in Stockholm, where in 2007 he received the Nobel Prize for his work on climate change and global warming. I remember that already then many serious scientists were sarcastic about Gore’s theory. But, here, according to the well-known saying: who dared, he ate. How many of them were these sometimes very strange Nobel laureates, from Arafat to Obama?..
But recently officials from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection received a strange order in which they were advised not to use the terms “climate change” and “global warming” in any official communication. It’s funny, isn’t it? And although a spokesman for Florida Governor Rick Scott assures that there was no official ban, department officials say otherwise.
In any case, Al Gore’s cause does not live and does not win. And even vice versa. That is why you will sometimes think: why do you need this Nobel Prize, if because of it you can be booed all over the people. We suspect that the same ending awaits another Nobel laureate in the struggle for peace, Barack Hussein Obama.
Oil painting
The Bass Museum in Miami Beach, recently celebrating its 50th anniversary, decided to face the centenary with a new and improved look. As the hero of the series “Liquidation” David Markovich Gotsman said: “Here is the Criminal Investigation Department, and not a bathhouse, there are neither naked nor bad.” So it is with the museum. One of the best art museums in South Florida, the Bass Museum, although it has a number of nude figures in sculpture and painting in its funds, definitely does not keep bad employees. And so, before the congratulatory trumpets had died down, the museum petitioned the Miami Beach Historic Heritage Board to help fund the major renovation.
