STARS WITH STRIPES: Sumatran tigers may be some of the smallest tigers on the globe, but they are a big beneficiary of a new tiger habitat coming to Zoo Miami after a $2 million gift to the Zoo Miami Foundation. Sumatran tigers in the new Cecil and Ana Milton Family Foundation Stripes of Sumatra habitat at the zoo will be among fewer than 400 in captivity. County commissioners are to vote Dec. 2 to name the habitat, which will require a three-fifths vote to name a county facility for living persons. Preservation of the Sumatran tigers seems critical: tigers on the other Indonesian islands of Bali and Java went extinct in the twentieth century.

SILVER BLUFF TRAFFIC ACCORD: The City of Miami will handle more traffic engineering to control cut-through traffic in the Silver Bluff area under an agreement that county commissioners approved unanimously last week. The accord will let the city install traffic-calming devices using pre-approved designs without having to get specific county approval each time. The neighborhood’s added cut-through traffic has triggered congestion, accidents and safety concerns, says a memo accompanying the county legislation, which ended a long-running dispute. The city is to pay all costs to install and maintain the traffic-calming measures. Silver Bluff is between Southwest 27th and 12th avenues, bordered by U.S. 1 to the south and Coral Way to the north. The neighborhood encompasses just over a half square mile and is mostly single-family homes.

Opinion | It’s time to count your blessings and Accentuate the Positive

Thanksgiving is a perfect day to reflect on the song that a newborn Miami Today appropriated as its theme in the early 1980s.

The lyrics by Johnny Mercer, written in the gloomy days of World War II, captured in a nutshell much of what we should do at Thanksgiving:

You’ve got to accentuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative
