AVENTURA (CBSMiAMi)
Tiger Woods Scores Deal With Aventura Nutrition Company RepoRting Kelly Sedano
Tiger Woods may be coming out of his endorsement slump thanks to a South Florida company. AventurA-bAsed Fuse Science Incorporated paid the former number one golfer an undisclosed sum to sport the company’s logo on his golf bag. “Our partnership with the world’s best is an enabler to have a worldwide impact sooner than later,” Tuffin said. “Tiger recognizes the significance of the journey we’re on as a company and wants to be part of our growth.” Over the course of his career, Woods has carried a bag emblazoned with the AT&T logo, but the company dropped him after his extra-marital trysts and subsequent divorce tarnished his iconic image.
Since then, his bag carried the logo of his charity, the Tiger Woods Foundation. Woods is currently down under playing in the Australian Open, where he is currently on top of the leader board.

COOPER CITY (CBS4)
BSO Nabs Unlicensed Contractors During Undercover Sting By Ted ScouTen
With guns drawn, wearing bullet proof vests, BSO deputies swooped in on suspected unlicensed contractors. During the two Day sting, more than two dozen people were arrested. In the operation, deputies posed as Cooper City couple looking to hire contractors to fix up a foreclosed home. “Right now you’re under arrest for contractor fraud,” a deputy told one of the suspects as he had him face down on the ground. At one point – 4 people were in the house at the same time, bidding on jobs. One man who installs awnings spoke to CBS 4’s Ted Scouten. He admits he is unlicensed – but is working on it. “I had a license,” said Tony Waddle of Solarus USA. “I went to apply for another license, I paid 250 dollars and then they wanted 14 hundred dollars for the books to study and the economy got bad and I couldn’t afford the books.” Others insist they’re legit. Like Juan Martinez. “Do you have the ‘certificate of competency’ asked CBS 4’s Ted Scouten.
“I don’t know what that is,” said Martinez. “Are you licensed by the county or the state to go out and do the work that you do?” Scouten asked. “Yes,” said Martinez. “What kind of license is it?” Scouten asked. “it’s a general carpentry workshop,” said Martinez. Detectives did not know what that was. BSO Fraud Detective Danny Beleyey explains that a ‘certificate of competency card’ is the single most important piece of paper you need to find out if your contractor is legit. “Anyone that is licensed to perform contracting services in the county or in the state will have one of these cards for the specific county they work in or one from the state,” explained Beleyeu. Another sign of trouble: the contractor has to be licensed to pull a permit. If he suggests doing work without it, there could be a problem.

1 Bin no. 18
1800 Biscayne Blvd. Miami 786-235-7575 www.bin18miami.com Don’t let the name fool you. This tapas and wine bar features specialty wines including the Chateau MoutonRothschild that sells for $850. If that’s too high, they also have more down-toearth wines with equally downto-earth prices such as the Italian Pinot Grigio Vicolo that will run you $22 for the bottle and $5 for the glass. Pair that with a plate of cheese and high-end deli meats and you’ve got a Spaniard tapas and drinks night.
