Termites Down Tree one day before Miami Springs farmers market was postponed for Thanksgiving

On Saturday, November 29th 2025. Miami Springs police and city officials including councilman Fabian Perez-Crespo gathered around a termite ridden tree that was downed by the storm the day before. The stink of rotten wood was in the air as the Miami Springs farmers market was postponed that day. Martha Flietas always postpones the market the weekend of Thanksgiving. So it was canceled for the day. The tree went down at the right time, because it would have landed directly on to several of the farmers market vendors tents. Robert Ventura of Ventura R. Tree & Stump Removal was on the scene to lend his expertise on the subject. Ventura said “Thank God it fell when it did and not during the farmers market because there may have been injuries”

As I step into the role of the publisher of River Cities Gazette. I reflect on how my father Tom started the newspaper when I was two years old. I have been surrounded by the Gazette my entire life. Born and raised in Miami Springs. My father was my little league coach, we were the Padres. I went to Springview Elementary as a young one. I graduated from Miami Springs Senior High School as a part of the school newspaper. The Zeitgeist was the name of the paper. It refers to the moral and cultural climate of the specific era. I was a writer and the photographer of The Zeitgeist. I graduated with honors in 1996. I attended University of South Florida in Tampa and received my associates of arts degree. For the last twenty five years, I have been the assistant publisher of the River Cities Gazette. It was the plan from the start for me to take over the helm. As the Gazette is a family business. I am ecstatic to announce. That day has come. My passion, my dedication, my focus and my drive has been the River Cities Gazette for the majority of my adult life. As I continue the legacy of greatness passed down to me by my father Tom Curtis. And take over the reins as a true leader. Ready to tackle any issue that comes my way. Thanks to God, I have the strength to do so.
