$ 3 million awarded
A Miami-Dade jury has awarded a
$3-million verdict to a 9-year-old girl whose
family said she was the victim of sexual abuse
at a day-care center.The girl’s lawyers said
she was molested multiple times in 2008,
when she was 5 years old, at Discovery Day
Care, 3153 SW 67th Ave. Her attacker, they
said, was the 13-year-old son of the center’s
then-director. The youth was left alone with
the children during nap time. The center’s
lawyer denied the allegations. After hearing
both sides, the jury found that Discovery was
negligent. “This girl’s youth was stolen from
her,” said attorney Jeff Herman, whose firm
announced the verdict Wednesday. “They
could see this previously was a very carefree
young girl who’s now in this trauma.”The
center’s lawyer, Donald Hardeman, said
Discovery will fight the ruling and ask for a
new trial.
Lowe Art Museum is
getting $ 1,7 million
The University of Miami’s Lowe Art
Museum is the recipient of Beaux Arts’
generous commitment of $1.7 million to
uphold the Lowe as a leading center for the
arts. The money will be used for exhibitions
and educational programs.“From their
inception in 1952, Beaux Arts and the
Lowe Art Museum have shared a mutual
appreciation and respect for the arts. This
gift will considerably enhance the future
of the Lowe, enabling it to continue to
be a significant force in the South Florida
arts community for generations to come,”
said Lowe Director and Chief Curator Brian
Dursum.Founded in 1952 by 50 members
under the direction of Ann Atkinson, then
assistant director of the newly built Joe and
Emily Lowe Art Gallery, Beaux Arts has made
art and art appreciation its mission. The
Gallery was renamed the Lowe Art Museum
in 1968.
Veterans are honored
The French Consulate in Miami is
honoring 25 U.S. veterans who fought
alongside France during World War II.
The veterans will receive on Thursday the
insignia of «Knight in the National Order of
the Legion of Honor.» The ceremony will take
place at the Civic Center in Boynton Beach.
The Legion of Honor was founded in
1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte. The Consulate
says the honor rewards eminent military and
civil merits in the service of France and is
the highest distinction that can be granted
in France on a French citizen as well as on a
foreigner. Some notable Americans who have
received the award include Thomas Edison,
Alexander Graham Bell, astronomer Simon
Newcomb, sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens
and painter John Singer Sargent.
The case of age discrimination
A jury award of nearly $1 million to former
WSVN-Fox 7 health reporter Marilyn Mitzel for
age discrimination at the hands of station
management was wiped out Wednesday by an
appellate court.
The Third District Court of Appeal
reversed the 2010 jury finding that Sunbeam
Television Corp., WSVN’s owner, fired Mitzel
three years earlier because she was too old
for television, and ordered a Miami-Dade
court to reconsider the case.
Two people died in a car crash
Two people have died in a head-on crash
at mile marker 102 of U.S. 1 in Key Largo.
The Florida Highway Patrol says that about
6:15 p.m. Sunday, 79-year-old man Ralph
Sheffler was driving a 2001 Dodge van south
while Maria Esteves, 61, of Miami was driving
a 2006 Toyota north.For reasons not known,
Sheffler crossed the center line of U.S. 1,
striking Esteves’ car head on. She died at the
scene. Sheffler was flown to Ryder Trauma
Center in Miami, where he died. FHP is still
determining if alcohol was a factor in the
crash.
Three people were
struck by a car
Two women in their 20s, one from Sunrise
and the other from Fort Lauderdale, were
involved in a single-car collision with a tree
near that intersection at about 4:30 a.m.
Saturday, according to Plantation police.
Police said a second driver stopped to check
on them. All three people, standing outside
their vehicles, were then struck by a car
driven by a Plantation man, according to
Detective Phillip Toman. One of the women
was pronounced dead at the crash, according
to Plantation Fire Department Battalion
Chief Joel Gordon.The second woman and the
man were taken to Broward General Medical
Center in Fort Lauderdale, where they died.
The driver of the car that hit the three people
was taken to Westside Regional Medical
Center for treatment of unknown injuries.The
identities of the victims were not available
Police Chief lost his saving
When Palm Beach Gardens Police Chief
Stephen Stepp was looking for a safe
place to invest his retirement nest egg, he
turned to a Boca Raton man who gained
respectability dishing out financial advice
on weekly TV and radio shows and headlining
investment seminars.On Monday, Stepp said
he was embarrassed to admit that he hadn’t
recognized Anthony Cutaia for what he
was: a con man.Stepp, who lost most of the
$150,000 he invested with Cutaia, was not
alone. Greg Stine, a retired special agent for
what is now the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, said he and his wife lost about
$180,000 and the home. “He had credibility,”
Stine said, referring to Cutaia’s broadcasts
and his membership on the board of the
powerful Gold Coast Builders Association.
“He was a very visible guy.”Testimony from
the two law enforcement agents and others
helped persuade Hurley to sentence Cutaia
to 51 months in prison. Hurley said he would
order Cutaia to pay restitution. However,
pointing out that Cutaia gambled away
and squandered an estimated $1.5 million,
he said he doubted his victims would get
anything
