    Two Dolphins concerns linger; plus Dolphins notes
    Some Dolphins nuggets on a Thursday, with training camp starting three weeks from today: • Though there’s a lot to be encouraged about (DeVante Parker’s improvement, the young corners, Ryan Tannehill’s return from his knee injury, etc.), two serious concerns remain: 1) defensive tackle beyond Ndamukong Suh; 2) the offensive line if Mike Pouncey has another setback or if a starting tackle is injured. Beyond all the uncertainty about whether Jordan Phillips will ever put it all together, the deci..

  • Higher garbage fees may be coming to Miami-Dade suburbs

    Higher garbage fees may be coming to Miami-Dade suburbs
    A proposal to raise garbage fees outside city limits throughout Miami-Dade County cleared an early vote on Thursday, with a call for more money to target illegal dumping on roadways. Despite blocking higher fees earlier this year, Miami-Dade commissioners not only accepted Mayor Carlos Gimenez’s proposal for a $19 hike in the county’s $439 annual garbage fee. The 13-member board gave also gave initial approval to boost the increase to $25, provided the extra money pays for stepped-up enforceme..

  • Heat, Riley reward hardworking James Johnson with four-year, $60 ...

    Heat, Riley reward hardworking James Johnson with four-year, $60 ...
    James Johnson gave the Miami Heat his body and soul last season, and Pat Riley rewarded him Thursday with a four-year, $60 million contract. To outsiders, it may not make a lot of sense to give Johnson, who turns 31 on Feb. 20, that much money. After all, before he came here last season, Johnson (6-8, 250) was a journeyman who had played for four different teams and made $13 million combined his first six years in the league. Most of his peers knew Johnson more for his history in MMA fighting ..

    The Roach Report shows five Miami-Dade restaurants shut down ...
    This edition of the biweekly Roach Report looks similar to the last one — restaurants that roaches got closed for the day up by two, overall restaurants cited for roaches down by three. But the dining devil truly is in the details. Some of the non-roach violations at Miami-Dade eateries made us want to redefine “dining out” as “eating on our balcony.” Let us commence with the five restaurants that got put in timeout for roach activity. Unless otherwise noted, the restaurants fixed enough of the..

    Pilot found dead after plane crashes in the Everglades
    A pilot was killed after the Cessna 152 single-engine plane he was flying was found crashed deep in the Everglades Wednesday night, authorities said. A Miami-Dade Fire Rescue air unit first spotted the plane wreckage around 9:30 p.m. with a body alongside the debris, police spokesman Argemis Colome said. Fire Rescue then alerted Miami-Dade police around 10:20 p.m. Because of the aircraft’s location and the swampy conditions, authorities decided to wait to get out to the scene, he said. The cras..

    Miami-Dade creates King Carter Street in honor of 6-year-old ...
    King Carter will have his name on the street outside the apartment complex where the 6-year-old was fatally shot in a slaying that came to symbolize Miami-Dade’s relentless gun violence in some of its poorest neighborhoods. When asked about the street, Santonio Carter jumps back to a different role that stretch of road played in his son’s brief life. “Every day he got out of school, we raced down that street,” Carter said a few minutes after county commissioners approved creating King Carter S..

    Bakery truck but no suspects in custody from Thursday bank robbery
    A bank robbery at a TD Bank just over a mile west of Coral Gables featured gunshots and a bakery truck late Thursday morning.

Upon receipt of the money, the robber absconded in a stolen bakery van. The FBI said police found the van near 6300 Manor Lane in South Miami. They’re still looking for the robbers. Anyone with information on this crime can..

    Chris Bosh clears waivers, Heat now officially has his $25.3 million ...
    The Miami Heat is now officially free to go about spending all of its projected salary cap space after Chris Bosh cleared waivers shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday. The 11-time All-Star was released by the Heat Tuesday, a mere formality after independent league doctors concluded months ago he was medically unfit to play after a long bout with blood clots which began after the All-Star break in 2015. Bosh, 33, hasn’t played since February 2016, but is now free to sign with another team and the H..
