Hats will soon be tossed in ring for Gables mayor's race

By ANA MARIA ALVAREZ Staff Writer (Editor's Note: This is the first in a two-part series about the upcoming bi-ennial election.) Who will be the next mayor of Coral Gables? Ever since Mayor Robert Knight said he was definitely not running for office in 1977, everyone has been speculating on who the next mayor will be. Three commissioners and a mayor will be elected at the general City Biennial election in Coral Gables on Tuesday, April 12. At least three Gableites have unofficially announced their candidacy for the highest office in the city—two commissioners and the former municipal court judge. Among those who plan to run for the mayor's post in April are Jimmy Dunn, municipal court judge in the city for 14 years, Commissioner Al Jacobson, whose term expires this spring, and Commissioner Bob Brake, who still has two years left on the commission. Commissioner Bill Chapman is up for re-election this term and plans to run again, but he said he probably wouldn't run for the mayor's seat. Commissioner William Kerdyk is another possible candidate for mayor this time around. Kerdyk, who still has two years left to go in the commission, said he is not planning to run for mayor, but added that there is a possibility that he will change his mind at the last minute. Candidates can begin qualifying at noon Feb. 7 and can do so until March 14. The filing fee is $200. In Coral Gables, a candidate for mayor has to be elected commissioner as well as mayor. An incumbent commissioner whose term has not expired is the only candidate who could run solely for the mayor's post. Brake and Kerdyk, if he decides to run, are the only two commissioners who could qualify to run only for the mayor's office. Other candidates will have to run for both positions, and if they were to get elected mayor and not commissioner, they could not serve in that top capacity.

Spaghetti benders Local kids roll their own

By MARGIE KENIN Correspondent You don't have to be Italian, but you do have to be a kid to don a fake moustache and join the weekend spaghetti benders at the Pasta Factory restaurant, 6950 Red Rd. Manager Raul Millian escorts visiting children to the factory room, a stainless steel and white maze of machinery that converts dough to ravioli, linguine, fettucine and other curly pastas, as twisting as their tongue twisting names. "We can make 100 pounds of gnocchi in a couple of hours," said Millian. However when the kids show up on weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the action slows down a little. "We let the children help make the agnoletti," he said. That's a hand-molded, meat-filled patty. "Then we put sauce on it and serve them the one they've put together," Millian explained. "I ate the one I made," said tiny Randi Pinkwasser of South Miami. "It tasted real good." But her brother Marc admitted he liked making the agnoletti better than eating it. South Miami's seven-year-old Craig Breslauer wiggled his moustache, hung spaghetti from his eyeglass frames and gleefully told how he liked making rolls best. "I think it's really interesting," said his 10-year-old sister Karey with the dignity that comes with age. Owner of the Pasta Factory, Ronnie Singer, agrees. "300 or 400 kids have gone through here and the parents enjoy it as much as the kids," he said. Marc Pinkwasser (l.) and Craig Breslauer have a laugh during a session of the "Spaghetti Benders." It looks like Craig got a little tired of making spaghetti, so he hung a few from his glasses.
