SURFSIDE

GAZETTE JANUARY 2015

Manager’s Message

It is great to be back in beautiful, sunny and warm Surfside! I am very impressed with the significant changes that have taken place in the 18 months since I left Surfside.

Projects such as The Grand Beach Hotel, Surf Club, Chateau, Marriott and Young Israel are helping to lift Surfside to a new level and will bring more visitors, recognition and revenue to the Town. The Harding Avenue streetscape, landscaping and lighting upgrades have vastly improved our bustling downtown business district. The recently completed 95th Street End project is a great improvement.

Other infrastructure accomplishments for 2014 include the completed refurbishment of the Tennis Center and the construction and upgrade of municipal parking lots.

It is also great to see that Surfside established a strong interest in the environment during the last year. Climate change, beach and dune nourishment, seawall retainment and storm drainage were all addressed in 2014.

Most importantly, services rendered to the residents of Surfside continues at a very high level. The Police Department remains proactive and has increased its community relations efforts, special programs and initiatives and added more opportunities to dialogue with citizens. Residents of all ages benefit from the many Parks & Recreation programs, the Aquatic Center and the Community Center. The Public Works Department, Sanitation and Utilities are not only maintaining our infrastructure, but working to improve and beautify the Town.

Kudos to our elected officials for the leadership they have provided and their dedication to making Surfside a wonderful place to live, work and play. A special thanks to all our employees for the hard work they do day in and day out. They make everything happen and are the best!

Lastly, join me in welcoming our new Town Manager, Guillermo Olmedillo, who begins his tenure on January 5, 2015.

-John Di Censo, Interim Town Manager

SURFSIDE STARS

Surfside Resident and International Opera Star Conchita de Antuñano

Conchita de Antuñano has thrilled audiences worldwide with her dramatic mezzo-soprano performances of opera’s classic roles and her impressive vocal range in concert halls. A native of Mexico, Conchita’s career has taken her to Philadelphia, New York, London, Milan and Munich before settling in Surfside in 2005.

“Surfside is a wonderful community. I enjoy living here. I do miss the old community center auditorium and look forward to when we have a venue for live music and singing productions,” she said. Conchita added that she would volunteer to assist in the planning and coordination of cultural efforts or music projects in the Town.

Conchita continues to maintain an active singing career, performing as a concert soloist, recitalist and recording artist. In addition to engagements already planned for 2015, she also takes time to share her knowledge and experience as voice teacher for younger singers preparing for auditions and recordings.

Conchita also offers singers in the area top-notch voice training for all ages and talent levels. At her Surfside studio, she provides instruction for opera, musical theater, classical singing, recordings, recitals and auditions. For more information, call 646-326-3572 or visit www.conchitadeantunano.com.

Born in Merida in Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula, Conchita graduated from the University of Mexico City with a degree in history. Singing since she was child, Conchita also completed formal musical studies at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música. She first performed Bizet’s Carmen at age 19 while still a student. Word of her talent traveled all the way to Philadelphia where she received a full scholarship to the prestigious Academy of Vocal Arts, a school that focuses solely on opera. She later continued her studies at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City.

After winning competitions and auditions, she launched her career singing Bellini’s Norma and Verdi’s Il Travatore.

From there, she found success at the major opera houses of Italy, France and Germany, becoming famous for roles such as Azucena in Verdi’s Il Travatore, Amneris in Verdi’s Aida and Amelia in Un Ballo in Maschera. In all, she has performed in 15 different countries.

Working with her mentor, the late Maestro Giusepe Patané, Conchita perfected a transition to mezzo-soprano.

She appeared with Plácido Domingo on the Maestro’s world premier recording of Mascagni’s Iris for CBS/Sony Classical. Back in New York, Conchita performed at Carnegie Hall and served on the faculty at Juilliard. In 2014, she performed at the concert hall of the Anderson House in Washington, D.C. In recognition of her outstanding contributions and dedication to the performing arts, her home state of Yucatán awarded her the prestigious Yucatán Medal.

How did a world-famous opera singer who speaks five languages come to Surfside? Conchita’s only child, Carlos Uribe de Antuñano was born in Manhattan and grew up in Germany. During his many vacations in the U.S. he became skilled in our national pastime, baseball. He received a college scholarship offer from Barry University in nearby Miami Shores. He received a degree in economics and is now a realtor. Conchita moved from New York to Surfside to be closer to Carlos and to enjoy the tropical weather.

Conchita de Antuñano’s recent albums include (L) Romance Español, featuring classical songs and arias, and Opera!

Love, Passion & Drama, with classic arias and scenes from Verdi, Bizet and more. Also available is Romance in Mexico.

They are available from ITunes, CDBaby.com, Amazon or contact Conchita in Surfside.

POLICE BEAT

Officer of the Month – November 2014

On November 24, 2014, Surfside Detective Marian Cruz identified a possible suspect of grand theft from a hotel room. Through superb investigative techniques and interviewing skills, the suspect admitted to stealing $370 in cash from a handbag in a hotel room.

Det. Cruz was also able to gain a second confession of an additional theft of $1000 in cash from another hotel room back in April 2014. Congratulations and excellent work!

Civilian of the Month – November 2014 (L-R) Sgt. Jay Matelis, Detective Marian Cruz and Chief David Allen.

Communications Operator Tameka Burnell is recognized for her exceptional efforts on the afternoon of November 24, 2014. A water main burst on 96th Street caused two lanes of traffic to be closed and required the conversion of the eastbound lane into a westbound lane to allow traffic in both directions.

Next, a fire was reported at the closed hotel at 87th Street, shutting down three lanes of traffic on Collins Avenue. All northbound traffic was diverted southbound onto Harding Avenue. Traffic was also gridlocked at 95th Street and Byron and Abbott Avenues. Throughout the events, Communications Operator Burnell handled continuous calls from drivers and residents caught in the traffic as well as dispatching calls for service – including an in-progress crime that resulted in two arrests. Congratulations for an outstanding job!

Major Public Works Projects Near Completion Biscaya

95th Street End

The Biscaya Drainage Project is now complete. The project began in September and staff worked diligently with minor delays and completed the underground work on November 7, 2014. The roads and properties on the island have been cleaned and materials removed. There is newly inserted curbing on properties that were originally damaged.

The asphalt was placed on November 25.

The 95th Street End Phase 2 Project is almost complete. All of the concrete work, paver installation and landscaping is finished. The shower is installed and operational. The concrete benches, which will be located in the circle on the pavers will be installed in January, weather permitting. Foot traffic is now open to the public for access to the beach (see below).This project was completed on time and under the proposed staff budget.

This project will help alleviate some of the history of slow drainage in the area. This project was a great accomplishment for the Surfside Utility Department as all work was performed in-house with a savings to the Town of more than $100,000. Special commendation goes out to both the Utility Department (Hector Rodriguez, Harold Lacroix and Kenny Chaviano) and Public Works staff (Jose Nodarse) for their tremendous efforts in working to complete the project. The whole project was spearheaded by the Town’s Project Manager Randy Stokes!

The Benefits of Getting Social We all know the importance of social media and accept it as a part of our daily lives. How does this modern phenomenon relate to tourism and, in particular, Surfside’s reemergence into destination marketing?

While the Tourist Bureau focuses on partnering with and leveraging our hotel and industry marketing organizations’ social media platforms, there is also a responsibility to assist the downtown district. Recent campaigns include the simplywSurfside and an all-out effort to support Small Business Saturday. On Facebook alone, there was a10,000 person reach.

A Social Media component is now a necessity for all aspects of promotions, advertising and special events. Coming this year to the Third Thursday Event series is the “Surfside Circle,” an exciting way to connect, involve and reward you and our visitors. Now is the time to grow our fan base and followers. Become a part of the movement, connect with us and let’s get social.
