Hometown hero Marc Buoniconti had the good fortune to be approved by Miami-Dade County to build a long-overdue boat storage facility at Matheson Hammock Park. After more than 12 years of due diligence to research and see the project through to completion, Buoniconti and partner Andy Sturner are enduring slings and arrows aimed at them [...]
Palmetto Bay Mayor Shelley Stanczyk continues in her ill-advised rush to convert Thalatta Estate from a passive free bay view public park into a commercial business. On Monday, Mar. 12, the Palmetto Bay Council, in a divided 3-2 vote allowed Mayor Stanczyk to create a control group to be known as “Friends of Thalatta” and [...]
Last week, I picked up my son and his two friends while I was driving the hip new Lexus IS250. When they saw the car, their facial expressions were priceless. All three of them walked around the car and looked it over, carefully inspecting it from all angles. They opened the trunk and checked out [...]

It has been 50 years of community service for the Howard Palmetto Baseball and Softball Association. The HPBSA has done as much or more than any other organization in this community to give our kids and their parents a place to gather and have fun, make lifelong friendships and to play ball. The HPBSA is [...]
Palmetto Bay mayor and council members, when were you going to tell the taxpayers about what was not in the budget? Taxpayers, some $1.5 million to date and the potential for $250,000 more of your tax dollars spent without your input. Are these numbers getting high enough for you to take notice? How about $461,000 [...]
Fiscal responsibility should mean that your government officials would dip into reserves only when they have to in order to protect essential services, not dip into them because they simply want to for nonessential projects. But once again, you had to be there to believe it (well of course you had to be there live, [...]

She was the assistant village manager in Pinecrest for almost 10 years before moving up to her new post. She participated in this question-and-answer session with the Pinecrest Tribune shortly after being named Pinecrest’s [...]
You had to be there at the last Committee of the Whole meeting to believe it. Of course you had to be there live as Palmetto Bay continues to resist broadcasting its meetings. Palmetto Bay may soon lose its distinction as of Village of Parks in favor of a new title — Village of Silence. [...]
I got an email this past week from a friend that left me somewhat dumbfounded. It seems that 15 or 20 men indulge in a sport called Ultimate Frisbee. They have been playing this insane game every Sunday morning for about eight years now, and for the last four years they have been getting together [...]
The problem with lawsuits in the village just keeps going. The latest is one filed on June 2 by Jane Forman, the former operator of the tennis facility at Coral Reef Park. The Jane Forman Tennis Academy had been there since 1989, signed a lease agreement with the county in 2002, signed a new [...]
By Grant Miller…. Once again I find myself writing about the lack of transparency in Palmetto Bay.
