Many residents of Coral Gables would be surprised to know that their Branch Li-brary can trace its existence to the Lemon City Reading Room, established around 1894. Those humble begin-nings helped form the founda-tions of 49 libraries that ser-vice areas from Homestead to Sunny Isles Beach, including our very own Coral Gables Branch Library. Through years of expansion, relocation, success, and innovation, the system has remained commit-ted to being “the compelling community destination, by providing a fi ve-star custom-er service experience.” Will

Runyan, the current Branch Manager of the Coral Gables Library, has witnessed the li-brary system change over the years; his tenure with the Mi-ami-Dade Public Library Sys-tem has comprised a variety of roles at multiple locations.

“I have had the opportunity to see other neighborhoods and libraries which helped develop a best practices type of skill set that I could draw on from those experiences,” commented Runyan.

Hurricane SeasonBEGINS JUNE 1

Keeping our roadways safe in South Florida is no easy task. At some point, all of us have been guilty of aggressive driving. According to the Na-tional Highway Traffi c Safety Administration, the six driving behaviors defi ned as aggres-sive driving – failure to yield right-of-way, improper lane change, improper passing, fol-lowing too closely, disregard-ing traffi c control, and speed-ing—endanger, or are likely to endanger, people or property. That includes injury to you. T houg h sel f-pres -ervation typically is a constant, subconscious thought we all have, many of us fail to heed the dangers associated with reckless driving, and we abandon cau-tion, often times resulting in an accident or citation.

Not only are these behaviors negligent, they are potentially life-threatening; something that has not gone unnoticed

in Miami-Dade Coun-ty. Carlos Sarmiento, Community Traff ic Safety Coordinator for the Florida Depart-ment of Transportation (FDOT) – District Six

(Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties), has taken action against these unsafe habits that so many motorists engage in on a daily basis. His most valu-able resource in this endeavor

is to educate the public on ways to prevent aggressive driving through numerous campaigns throughout South Florida.

“The campaign originated two years ago when FDOT wanted to address safety con-cerns on Krome Avenue. Sad-ly, the street had its share of crashes and even fatalities due to aggressive driving. It was time to address this prevalent

Por: Minín Aré[email protected]

De día es muy bonito, cómo no. Pero cuando comienza a apagarse el sol, la vida se en-ciende en Ybor City. Las puer-tas de los múltiples locales de la 7ma avenida se abren de par en par. Comienzan los acordes, unos cubanos, otros latinos más en clave de salsa, uno que otro compás norteamericano nato y el jazz infatable en las mejores voces de la ciudad. De verdad que quien quiera divertirse y sa-ber lo que es bueno en Tampa, debe ir, sin duda, a este rincón de Cuba en medio del estado de Florida.

Ybor City es un vecindario histórico situado justo al nor-

este de Tampa. En el pleno centro. Lo fundó Vicente Martínez Ybor, allá por 1886 y se llenó muy rápido de in-migrantes cubanos, como el propio fundador, pero tam-bién por una buena camada de españoles, sobre todo de Asturias e italianos proceden-tes de Sicilia. Pero después de fundada a algo tenían que dedicarse, entonces comen-zaron estos primeros mora-dores a trabajar en fábricas de puros. Y esa es una actividad que no ha cesado al día de hoy, porque es natural y corriente ver gente envolviendo haba-nos en ventanas y vendiendo este producto en cualquiera de sus negocios.

Checklist for a more Sustainable LifestyleWhat is a Carbon Footprint?

We all have a carbon footprint, a measure-ment of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) we create by our daily activities. When car-bon is released into the atmosphere fast-er than it can be reabsorbed by natural processes, it contributes to global warm-ing. Presently, CO2 is being released ~3x faster than it can be reabsorbed, which means that almost everything we do aggravates the problem – from driving a car to lighting or cooling our homes, turning on a computer and heat-ing our water. Sounds overwhelming? I see it more as an opportunity to take action to reduce our footprint in almost every aspect of our life.

By: Karla Utting [email protected]

Change at every level is crucial.

A carbon footprint is unique to each individual because we all manifest dif-ferent behaviors. Some of us are more aware than others of our personal envi-ronmental impacts.

Various governments address this challenge differently. While some have programs in place to control carbon emissions, others are far from imple-menting a change. Actions taken by some city authorities, for example, in-clude: • green building ordinances • outreach strategies to educate resi-

dents about climate change challeng-es and solutions

• incentives and tools to encourage res-idents to save energy and water

• promotion of alternative transporta-tion systems and carpooling

• investment in public transport and in-frastructure to facilitate cycling and walkingHowever, governments often priori-

tize economic development at the envi-ronment’s expense. Retrofitting infra-structure can provide a major economic stimulus. But beyond the economic is-sue is the moral question. It is now clear that our lifestyles are threatening not only the planet but future generations. Ironically, economically disadvantaged populations often suffer a greater bur-

den of climate disruption while being the least culpable.

Each of us can lower our depen-dence on the Earth’s precious re-sources by adopting a few simple habits. However, while achieving behavioral change for children is relatively easy, adults who are more set in their ways pose a greater challenge. Sustainability education at all levels is needed.

Lifestyle Changes to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

The consumption choices we make influence our carbon foot-print. Here are some simple things you can do today to help reduce your environmental im-pact, save money, and live a happier, healthier life:

Save Water Take shorter showers. (Try a shower

timer!) Install a low-flow showerhead Ensure aerators are installed on all

faucets Opt for native, drought-tolerant

plants Don’t pre-rinse dishes before putting

them in the dishwasher Install low-flow or dual-flush toilets

Save Energy Turn lights off when leaving the

room Turn up the thermostat. When at

home, set it at 78 degrees. When away raise the setting to 82-85 degrees. Consider programmable thermostats.

Clean or change air conditioner filters monthly

Replace incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient LED or CFL bulbs

Unplug appliances and turn off computer monitors when not in use

Use a ‘smart’ power strip to cut ‘vampire’ energy use

Install opaque, white blinds or roller shades, and close them when leaving for the day

Use cold water whenever possible, especially for washing clothes

Insulate your water heater and set to 115°F

Consume less meat; animal agricul-ture is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Eliminate waste by using a reusable

water bottles, shopping bags, etc. Buy in bulk. Avoid products pack-

aged for single use Opt for online bill pay and statements

to eliminate paper waste Unsubscribe from junk mail and

catalogs when possible. Use e-mail instead of printing docu-

ments when possible. When possible, print on both sides

of the paper. Buy recycled or FSC certified paper.

Less Gas Walk or bike to save on gas and

parking costs Use mass transit, carpool or con-

sider telecommuting Buy from local businesses when

possible Avoid car idling to decrease emis-

sions and fuel waste Clean out your car. Excess weight

can decrease gas mileage by 1-2% for every 100 lbs.

Maintain your vehicle’s engine and tires. Properly inflated tires and a well-tuned engine save money and our environment!

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if we achieved carbon-neutrality? By carbon-neutral, I mean reducing carbon emissions to a level which does not contribute to glob-al warming. Human society can phase out carbon emissions by focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation and investing in renewable energy, sus-tainable agriculture and forestry so as to achieve overall ecological balance. New jobs would be created, and our children’s children would not be born into a world where their quality of life is seriously menaced by actions that were not of their making.

Many South Floridians are fa-miliar with the employment-based fi fth preference category more commonly known as the “EB-5 Investor Visa” or simply, the “EB-5”. The popular, yet controversial program was created as part of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990. Essentially, the Act allows foreign nationals who in-vest a requisite amount of money (i.e. generally $1,000,000 but only $500,000 for investments in a “Tar-geted Employment Area”, which is defi ned to include rural areas or areas that have experienced an un-employment rate equal to 150% of the national average) into a com-mercial business or enterprise in the United States and preserve or create at least ten (10) full-time jobs to obtain permanent residence (i.e. a green card) in the United States. The portion of the program that al-lows an investment of $500,000 in a “regional center” (namely, businesses or enterprises that promote domestic economic growth by increased export sales, improved regional productivity, job creation, and increased domestic capital investment) is subject to re-newal by Congress periodically. This provision is much more popular than the traditional $1,000,000 investment requirement as the vast majority of EB-5 in-vestments are “regional center” investments.

The stated intent of this program is to st imula te t he U.S. economy and promote immigration to the United States for foreign individuals who invest

in new, restructured, or expanded businesses and help to create or preserve U.S. jobs. South Florida has been a signifi cant benefi ciary of investment dollars under the program.

Industry observers expected the EB-5 program to be extended but with signifi cant changes. The legislation, however, was recently extended in its current form with absolutely no changes when law-makers in Washington were unable to agree on any revisions. This was a signifi cant legislative victory for many developers (and their lobby-ists) who commonly utilize EB-5 investor visa money in lieu of, or as a component to, the traditional capital stack for their projects.

The legislative changes consid-ered by the United States Con-gress included stricter oversight of the program (to better insure

the job creation and/or retention metrics) and higher investment thresholds ($800,000 for “Target-ed Employment Areas” up from $500,000). Proposals to reserve a certain number of visas for in-vestment in rural and/or impov-erished areas and also changes to “Targeted Employment Areas” defi nition were also seriously contemplated and hotly debated in Washington. These proposed changes were intended to address the concern that boundaries to the “Targeted Employment Areas” were being drawn to include areas not needing the fi nancial boost, to the exclusion of the lower income areas and rural areas contemplated by the program and in signifi cant need of the investments. Develop-ers countered that employees from lower income areas were being hired, and that therefore, program objectives were being satisfi ed. They also argued that if visas were reserved for certain areas, it could effectively kill the program.

Additional contemplated provi-sions would have established quali-fi cations and set standards for the fees charged by foreign agents, akin to brokers, who bring investors to developers. Critics suggested it would be improper for the U.S. to dictate the compensation of foreign agents involved in the program.

The program was ex-tended through Sept. 30, 2016 in its current form.

Braces, awkward kisses, pimply faces, goofy yearbook photos and slow dances – that’s high school for you.

But what about the side of high school that one cares to re-member a bit less of – the times when students commenced in auditoriums, hearing accounts of those affected by drunk driving, AIDS, drug or alcohol abuse and more. While these talks were perhaps less enjoy-able than other high school ex-periences, the lessons learned continue to be just as important if not more than others.

And for Heather Gerone-mus, someone who recalls having heard similar talks at her alma mater of Pine Crest School back in the ‘90s, she envisions educating students there on one of the issues that, when crunch-ing the num-bers, negative-ly impacts the c o m m u n i t y more than any-thing else. By day, Gerone-mus works as a PR execu-tive for Ulti-mate Software in Weston. In her volunteer work, howev-er, she devotes the bulk of her attention to the effects of driv-ing while intoxicated through MADD’s National Board of Directors (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Approximately 119,280 supportive services are offered to drunk and drugged driving victims as coping mech-anisms, regardless of which end of the accident one is on.

“It’s extremely important to

continue educating the com-munity about drunk driving,” said Geronemus of the thou-sands of people killed and hundreds of thousands injured in drug or alcohol-related ac-cidents annually nationwide. “It’s the only problem plaguing

our community that each of us has the power to stop.”

The plague seeped into Heather’s personal past when a drunk driver killed her father in 2009 while he was crossing the street on foot in Miami. Since joining her grade school alma mater’s alumni advisory board following graduation in 1997, Heather has performed

many tasks. However, part-nering with MADD on Pine Crest’s campus has proven to be the most important of them due to how close it hits home. Pine Crest students continue to become more aware of the night Heather’s dad went for a leisurely walk when tragedy struck: A drunk driver hit him, killed him and fled the scene until he was apprehended later that night. And that is why she

continues to represent MADD and spread awareness about the support it provides victims such as herself.

“I have similar memories of MADD represented in middle school and high school presen-tations before prom and home-coming - and we still do that,” Heather says.

When Heather conveys MADD’s message to the hun-dreds of privately-schooled South Florida students, she recalls the times when she per-formed in school ballets during her high school days and being in the shoes of those who she now educates on drunk driving prevention.

“It’s easy to say that could never happen to me,” remarked Heather, reminiscing on the times her dad was in the crowd cheering her on during high school dance performances. “Every time I performed, my [dad] would be there. This is the first time that he would not be there.”

When addressing the stu-dents, Heather talks about how victims of drunk drivers could just be doing the responsible thing and walk home from an event, just as her father had on Jan. 24, 2009.

“My father didn’t do any-thing wrong,” shared Heather of her father’s untimely death in crossing an unfortunate road. “He was walking across the street. As a student it’s easy to think ‘that could never be me’; it’s putting a real person

with it, really.”“I talk about him almost

every day of my life,” said Heather of her father’s killer, who continued driving despite his knowledge of a man being thrown at least 75 feet upon im-pact with the vehicle. “[About] 2/3 of people will be impacted by drunk driving [in some ca-pacity] in their lifetime. It is

real; it is something that could happen to you.”

It takes someone with tre-mendous character and grace in offering forgiveness the way Heather has to her father’s kill-er, despite his actions or even inaction.

“I don’t hate him. That per-son was just released from pris-on in January. I would implore him to tell the story of what he did so that he can save lives,” said Heather of the man who killed her father. Rather than offering condolences, the per-petrator said to her upon his sentencing in 2010: “I am very sorry for your loss.” Recently released from prison, he must complete a substantial amount of volunteer work related to preventing DUI manslaughter as part of his probation. Not-withstanding this, the num-

ber remains unchanged on the number of annual deaths- near-ly 10,000 victims- as reported by MADD.

“People [should] have a strat-egy in place when their plans include drinking as opposed to hoping to make a right decision when intoxicated,” said Heath-er about taking precautionary measures before it’s too late.

The Coral Gables Community Foundation recently awarded $60,000 in college scholarships to eleven se-niors from Coral Gables Senior High and $32,000 in grants to fi fteen non-profi t organizations with an im-pact to Coral Gables. The Foundation, their support-ers and the scholarship and grant recipients celebrated with a reception hosted at the historic home of Ajit and Maria Alicia Asrani.

The Coral Gables Community Foundation and its fund holders, take pride in awarding scholarships to assist deserving students with fi nancial need. This year, the Foundation presented The Coral Gables Community Foundation’s Four-Year Scholarship, the Ralph V. Moore Scholarship for Cavalier Excellence, the Lady Suzanna P. Tweed Scholarship, the Kerdyk Family Music Scholarship and the Culinary Arts Fund Scholarship. The students were presented their awards by the Foundation’s Board of Directors for their aca-demic excellence and outstanding service to their school and community.

The Ponce Society of Young Professionals volun-teered their time and efforts to an art mural beautifi ca-tion project at Ponce De Leon Middle School. Local artist, Michael Halley and members of the Ponce So-ciety of Young Professionals painted a beautiful mural at the Middle School, which will be enjoyed by stu-dents and visitors alike. The project served as motiva-tion to get other young professionals involved in the community.

“I like my art to make a difference. If I can brighten someone’s mood, encourage creativity and feelings of pride and hope for a better future, especially within our children, a little bit of paint on the wall can make all the difference in the world,” said local artist Mi-

chael Halley, who donated his time and talent to this project.

The project kicked off with a happy hour fundrais-ing event on May 19th at Tarpon Bend Raw Bar & Grill to raise funds for the Ponce De Leon Middle School Art Department. The Ponce Society of Young Professionals successfully raised over $700 for the art department and donated over 80 paint brushes, paint and other art supplies to the program.

“I believe it is very important for our generation to volunteer their time and give back to the community. The generations before us have done a great job giv-ing back to South Florida and Coral Gables and mak-ing our city one of the best cities in the country. It is our turn, as young professionals in this community, to get involved and continue what they have been doing for years,” said Brian Quintana, Chair of the Ponce Society of Young Professionals and a Tax Senior at Hancock Askew & Co.

The Ponce Society of Young Professionals (“PSYP”) was founded in October 2011 as the young profession-als outreach of the Coral Gables Community Founda-tion. The Ponce Society of Young Professionals sup-ports the Foundation in carrying out its mission, and in getting more young professionals involved in Foun-dation initiatives and activities. The Ponce Society of Young Professionals also creates its own social events to further its outreach.

CORAL GABLES HEARTBEAT

June 1 – June 14, 2016

A well-rounded Branch Manager can alleviate some pressure flowing from the diverse duties expected at a library. Though most people associate libraries with the rental of books in hard copy, the 21st century has prompted librar-ies to take a more versed approach to reaching the community, as well as offer multiple avenues to exploring not just the literary arts, but the visual and theatrical arts as well. The Coral Gables Branch Library boasts a perma-nent collection of art on display which includes many sculptures, paintings, photographs, and other media. Its col-lection also includes a famous piece from children’s literature.

“We have original Raggedy Ann and Andy puppets. Their creator, John Gruelle, had a special connection with Coral Gables,” Runyan noted.

In addition to these rare puppets, the Gable Library art work includes sculp-tures of Spanish Explorers, many Hai-tian oil paintings, and numerous photo-graphs of local splendor. The library’s appreciation of other art media doesn’t end with the visual arts. It offers sev-eral outlets to explore music and the-atre; this includes a fantasy theatre that performs puppet shows and a dance troupe.

“We have a dance company funded partly by the city that executes a wide range of performances: ballet, contem-

interact. “A lot of it is just engagement and

letting people socialize. It is really quite satisfying and makes our staff better too. It’s a busy library that uses programs to target these groups as well as under-served groups like senior citi-zens. We offer tai chi, yoga, dance, de-fensive driving, and computer classes,” stated Runyan.

Computer classes are just a sample of the digital resources that the Coral

Patrons enjoy music and free con-certs.

problem,” Sarmiento recalled. Due to the success on Krome Avenue,

the campaign has spread district wide. In February, Miami-Dade unveiled its Drive Safe - Aggressive Driving Awareness Campaign, which will run through June. The campaign aims to alleviate aggressive driving through South Florida by raising awareness and educating drivers on the issue. Part of the campaign includes an enforcement component that cites drivers who are exercising these neglectful practices and reminding them that they are not only dangerous but also unlawful.

FDOT’s Aggressive Driving Campaign Aims To Reverse the Dangerous Driving Domino Effect

you start adding those up it becomes an increasingly dangerous situation for not only drivers, but bicyclists and pedestri-ans as well,” Sarmiento stated.

Various resources are directed to-wards balancing the scale for those who are impacted by aggressive drivers, namely everyone. Though adult males between the ages of 24-35 are statisti-cally involved in more accidents caused by aggressive driving and resulting in fatalities, everyone else is not exempt from their consequences. Therefore, Sarmiento and the Drive Safe Cam-paign hope to initiate a domino effect of their own, and it starts with you.

“The reason I am here is to do what all the engineering and technological improvements to safety cannot. I am trying to make people aware that how you drive makes a difference. It can save a life,” maintains Sarmiento.

The campaign offers eight easy-to-fol-low tips to start the dominoes falling in the right direction: avoid the blind spots,

50% of traffic fatalitiesare due to aggressive driving

“Law enforce-ment agencies play a vital part of the Drive Safe Cam-paign. Officers are the ones ensuring that laws are fol-lowed; they see the aggressive driving behaviors daily,” re-marked Sarmiento.

Residents of Key Biscayne may have noticed that, dur-ing the middle of April, the Drive Safe Campaign was collaborating with

local law enforcement to target aggres-sive drivers in the area. By focusing their efforts in a certain sector, officers were able to make offenders aware of their actions through citations, warn-ings, and education information that was distributed during traffic stops. This multi-agency approach to the Drive Safe Campaign forms the back-bone to its success.

“It takes an enormous amount of en-ergy from various sources because it affects everyone; and it only takes one aggressive driver to start a fatal acci-dent. It is like a domino effect. One re-action leads to another reaction, and if


pass with caution, merge with care, don’t cut vehicles off, signal sooner, pay at-tention, share the road, and don’t speed. Speeding is arguably the most rampant aggressive driving behavior and typi-cally leads to many of the others. If driv-ers will slow down and think about their actions, many other dangerous scenarios can be more easily avoided.

“Thinking differently and chang-ing the mindset of drivers is at the core of how we want to educate the public. That’s where we want to make a differ-ence. We are all in this together,” under-lined Sarmiento.

Although Drive Safe Campaign will end in June, Sarmiento will carry on ef-forts at raising awareness with the hope that Miami-Dade residents have listened to his earlier message and implement safe driving habits.

La vida nocturna, sobre todo en la 7ma avenida es realmente mágica. [Photo courtesy of Mini Arevalo Parodi]

La comunidad que se formó hace 300 años, fue verdaderamente extraordinaria. Y lo fue, porque se formó multiétnica. Había gente de todos los colores que se juntaron en organizaciones cívicas, sindi-catos y células de mutua ayuda. Fue muy pujante por entonces Ybor City, hasta la época de la Gran Depresión. En ese mo-mento, como es obvio, la demanda de tabacos cayó considerablemente y ya ha-cia fi nales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial,

fue forjando como un distrito de diversión nocturna.

Ya en esta década y media del nuevo siglo, la vida volvió por la calle del me-dio. Las construcciones de casas y apar-tamentos fueron creciendo al borde de las aceras y de nuevo llenándose de ju-ventud, cultura, música y diversión.

Hoy en día, ir a Tampa y no disfrutar de Ybor City es prácticamente un pecado. Sobre todo porque ofrece opciones para todos los gustos. Discos de moda, salones para ver de cerca de una drag queen y deleitarse con sus plumas y lentejuelas, escenarios oscuros en donde el jazz pro-tagoniza tan alto que que los focos de la televisión se posan en sus intérpretes, salones de baile con danzones cubanos y salsa brava en vivo, se mezclan con res-taurantes de pizza, de comida griega y las infaltables fritas cubanas.

Ah, y si lo que la gente busca es un Día de los Muertos diferente, no puede dejar de visitar Ybor City. Allí el Halloween le dio paso al Guavaween, y esta leyenda es

Este vecindario de Tampa, se convirtió desde los 1800’s en la cuna de los habanos, cuando el fundador de la ciudad,Vicente Martínez Ybor, vio la posibilidad de mudar las fábricas de tabaco de las cosas de Key West a todo el medio del estado.

Hoy, es un lugar ideal para disfrutar la noche y la herencia de la isla.

Un Pedazo de Cuba enEl Medio de Florida

sus calles vieron como se marchaban sus pobladores y la ciudad moría lenta-mente. Más adelante, en-tre los años 1950 y 60 el programa federal Urban Renewal aunado a la con-strucción de la vía Interes-tatal 4, aceleró el ya largo proceso de destrucción de lo que había, pues muchas edifi caciones fueron der-rumbadas para darle paso a la autopista.

Todo quedó práctica-mente en ruinas y nadie daba un penny por Ybor City. Pero para bien de todos, al principio de los años 80 comenzó a fl o-recer de nuevo esta ciudad que se negó a morir. Lo primero fue que se con-virtió en un refugio entu-siasta de artistas de todas las índoles, por lo que sus calles guardan ese aire boho sabroso que da la intelectualidad. Ya en los 90, la cosa agarró más cuerpo y se

tan divertida como todo lo que ro-dea a este sitio. Cada año más de 100.000 personas se juntan para esta loca celebración. La gente se pone los trajes más extraños e in-imaginables y lo festejan con ese nombre, gracias a que en épocas de su fundación, un español medio lunático fue hasta Tampa a bus-car un bosque de guayabas. Tenía una idea fi ja en mente: que todo el mundo sembrara guayabas y co-mieran gelatina de esta fruta día y noche. Pero el clima de la zona no es propicio para la siembra y cose-cha y en vez de dar guayabas, Ybor dio habanos. Pero digamos que en una de remembranzas al vision-ario estrellado, el Tampa Times en 1970, comenzó a llamar a la ciudad como Big Guava. Sumaron una cosa con la otra e hicieron pues el Guavaween para su conmemo-ración de los muertos, tan loca

como el español de las guayabas. Pero la noche se acaba. Al amanecer,

vuelve la tranquilidad y la vida cultural. Un cafecito aquí, un sitio hermoso para desayunar allá, un museo por acullá y la historia viva de sus fundadores, de la gente que la formó y de quienes hoy en día, bien propios bien extraños la dis-frutan a cabalidad. De verdad que Ybor City debería estar en la lista de pendi-entes de los eternos turistas. Su sabor y sazón, bien valen el viaje a Tampa.

Los puros o habanos son la principal fuente de producción de esta localidad. Hacen tabacos en cada ventana. Los ven-den en cada esquina. [Photo courtesy of Mini Arevalo Parodi]

100 Resilient Cities and The Rockefeller Foundation Welcome Greater Miami and the Beaches into Global Resilience-Building Network

Miami-Dade County, City of Miami, and City of Miami Beach Jointly Selected for the 100 Resilient Cities Challenge

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez, Miami Mayor Tomás Pedro Regalado, and Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, joined by The Rockefell-er Foundation Chief Operating Officer Peter Madonia and Amy Armstrong, Director of City Re-lationships at 100 Resilient Cities, recently celebrated their region’s selection to the 100 Resilient Cit-ies (100RC) global network. The mayors noted that by entering the 100RC network, the Miami region will be better equipped to solve local challenges around transportation, economic equal-ity, sea level rise, aging infra-structure, and more.

100RC is a $164 million ef-fort founded by The Rockefeller Foundation in 2013, focused on helping cities around the world build resilience to the social, economic, and physical chal-lenges of the 21st century. As members of the 100RC network, Miami-Dade County, the City of Miami and the City of Miami

Beach will receive funding and support for Chief Resilience Of-ficers (CROs) – innovative new positions within Miami’s local government leading resiliency efforts. A CRO to be appointed at the City of Miami will partner with Miami-Dade County CRO James Murley and Miami Beach CRO Susanne Torriente and will work directly with county and city leaders to develop a joint Re-silience Strategy. The county and cities will receive technical sup-port through 100RC to develop a strategy that reflects the region’s collective needs and its capacity to address them.

The cities will also gain ac-cess to 100RC platform partners in the private, public, academic, and nonprofit sectors. Partners offer tools and services valued at over $200 million – at no direct cost to the region – in areas such as innovative finance, technol-ogy, infrastructure, land use, and community and social resilience.

“Miami is ground zero for some of the most common and pressing challenges facing cities in the 21st Century,” said Peter Madonia, Chief Operating Of-ficer of The Rockefeller Founda-tion. “A dynamic, holistic strat-egy for moving Miami forward

should address the city’s aging infrastructure, housing stock, and public transportation system – all in addition to fast-emerg-ing threats as a result of climate change. We’re excited to help build a stronger, more resilient Miami.”

“We are so proud to wel-come Greater Miami and the Beaches to 100 Resilient Cities,” said 100RC President Michael Berkowitz. “The region’s lead-ership has demonstrated excep-tional commitment to resilience building by hiring Chief Resil-ience Officers in Miami-Dade County and Miami Beach. We were also impressed by the inno-vative and proactive way they’ve been thinking about the area’s challenges. We look forward to helping Greater Miami address the full scope of these challenges in 2016 and beyond.”

Greater Miami and the Beach-es was chosen from more than 325 applicants on the basis of their ability and need to become resilient. The application process showed each city’s unique vision for resilience, a long-term com-mitment to building resilience in a way that connects silos of government and sectors of soci-ety, and specific attention to the needs of poor and vulnerable citizens. Applicant cities also demonstrated the willingness to be leaders in urban resilience, sharing learning experiences and becoming a model for other cities across the globe.

“Being designated one of 100 resilient cities around the world is a testament to decades of strong leadership by public and private individuals and organizations in Miami-Dade County,” said Jim Murley, Chief Resilience Officer,

Miami-Dade County. “The com-munities in greater Miami and throughout Southeast Florida are committed to becoming resilient to shocks and stresses that can disrupt the lives of our citizens. We are also mindful of future generations and the need to com-mit to long-term solutions that ensure their ability to enjoy our extraordinary place.”

Member cities were selected upon the recommendation of dis-tinguished judges from around the world from prestigious orga-nizations such Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, McKinsey & Co Africa, African Leadership Net-work, Unilever, Swedish Interna-tional Development Cooperation (SIDA), Sidewalk Labs, Bjarke Ingels Group, Aga Khan Foun-dation, Reserve Bank of India, Bill & Melinda Gates Founda-tion, and Global Partnerships at the IFC.

The growing momentum for resilience-building worldwide includes the more than 20 cities that have taken 100RC’s 10% Resilience Pledge, agreeing to dedicate 10% of city budgets – representing more than $5 billion (USD) – to resilience initiatives.

‘Science Up Close’ at Frost Science

The Science Up Close events, presented by Frost Science around Miami-Dade Coun-ty, are a celebrated, regular series of casual science conversations designed to make current science understandable and relatable to the public.

Wednesday, June 8 Science Up Close: Predicting South Florida Flood Risk from Days to Decades

In honor of the global World Oceans Day, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science will present Science Up Close: Predicting South Florida Flood Risk from Days to Decades, featuring local scientist and University of Miami Professor, Ben Kirtman.

Vizcaya Celebrates Launch of New Book

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens recently host-ed the book release and signing of Robert Win-throp Chanler: Discovering the Fantastic, the reawakening of a lost figure of American mod-ernism which has been co-published by Viz-caya in line with its centennial year celebration.

This volume is the first study of its kind in the last eighty years, exploring an artist who strad-dled the divide between fine and decorative art, defined notions of originality and authorship during the birth of American modernism, and posthumously challenges twenty-first century preservationists through his idiosyncratic tech-niques and unorthodox material choices.

Commissioned by wealthy patrons, the ma-jority of Chanler’s existing works remain locked away in private estates and collections. This book grants the public never-before-seen

access through newly commissioned color pho-tography from such exclusive locations as The Colony Club and the Long Island studio of Ger-trude Vanderbilt Whitney while also shedding light on the rediscovery of paintings, screens and other works thought to be long lost.

To celebrate this achievement, Vizcaya re-opened the Swimming Pool grotto for the first time, following a significant structural restora-tion, for the launch event to allow attendees an up-close-and-personal view of Chanler’s famed ceiling mural, housed therein.

Vizcaya’s Curator, Gina Wouters, and Conser-vator, Lauren Hall were on hand to sign copies of the book and answer questions about Chanler as well as the works created for Vizcaya.

For more information, visit www.vizcaya.org or call 305-250-9133.

ArtServe Presents “Catalyst” Featuring Artworks by the DBA Collective

Exhibit is part of a month-long series of events examining the business of making artThis June, ArtServe collaborates

with community, business and civic partners in a month-long exploration and celebration of the business of making art that features a free gallery exhibit, lecture and workshop, as well as the hosting of the annual Artist as Entrepreneur Institute (AEI), which offers a course of study that assists artists of all disciplines in cultivating and advancing their business skills.

“Andy Warhol once said, ‘Being good in business is the most fasci-nating kind of art,’ and he is a prime example of how you can pursue your art, learn to monetize it and remain true to your vision while also making a cultural impact,” noted President and CEO of ArtServe Jaye Abbate. “We delve into all aspects this month from the nuts and bolts of branding, pricing and selling to the joy of wit-nessing how local artists have put best practices to use to thrive and produce vibrant art.”

For eight years, the celebrated Do-ing Business As…Artist Entrepre-neurs collective (DBA) has presented an annual exhibition that showcases this dynamic group of South Florida’s

rising artists and AEI alumni. This year, they present “CATALYST,” an all-media exhibition of select works from Wednesday, June 1 – Friday June 24. A free gallery reception will be held on Thursday, June 9 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Since its inception, more than 60

artists have partici-pated in the annual exhibitions. Many DBA members have achieved local and international recogni-tion while they also contributed to the vi-brant South Florida community through teaching, exhibiting, producing community events and creating art in public places.

The 2016 AEI fea-tures an insightful talk by writer, jour-nalist and visual artist Lily Clayton Hansen who speaks on Tues-day, June 21 at 7 p.m. Hansen is the author of Word of Mouth:

Nashville Conversations: Insight into the Drive, Passion, and Innovation of Music City’s Creative Entrepreneurs, a book profiling those who have helped drive the art, culinary and mu-sic scene fueling Nashville’s boom. The forum and a closing reception is free and open to the public but seat-ing is limited and reservations should be made at www.Artserve.org.

AEI will be held at ArtServe on four consecutive Saturdays in June and feature a curriculum that offers support for artists to grow their busi-nesses and contribute to strengthen-ing the cultural sector. The rigorous

OUT ON THE TOWN

June 1 – June 14, 2016

Co-chairs Criselda Breene, Michelle Areces, Sam Robin, Sarah Colombo and Iran Issa-Khan celebrated for the third consecutive year the unforgettable brunch “Big Hats & Bow Ties” fundraiser for the Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO). The signature event was held at the prestigious Italian restaurant

Cipriani, located across the bay in the Brickell area, where local celebrities arrived with zany hats, ties and bow ties and shared a day full of music, extraor-dinary food, fun and friends in a convivial atmosphere. One of the two bands which represented the Miami Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble 7/4, flew in from Venezuela to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Maestro Eduardo Marturet, considered one of the most celebrated and hip international conductors residing now in Miami. The flower atelier ornaments were arranged with a premium selection of orchids, lilies, calla, and white phelonosias, giving a touch of spring

to each table. On October 23, Miami Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Marturet, opens its 2016-2017 season at the Arsht Center with a fascinating and captivating opening with works by Ravel, the world premiere of Di Council, and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Grand Opening of Affordable Living Apartments in Overtown Celebrated by Builder and Local OfficialsIsland Living is the first

project to be completed of four new affordable hous-ing buildings planned for the Overtown area.

Atlantic | Pacific Commu-nities (A|P Communities), a subsidiary of Atlantic | Pacific Companies (A|P), and part-ner Palmetto Homes, along with local officials including Miami-Dade County Commis-sioner Audrey M. Edmonson, City of Miami Commissioner and Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelop-ment Agency (SEOPW CRA) Chair Keon Hardemon, City of Miami Commissioner Francis Suarez, City of Miami Commis-sioner and SEOPW CRA Vice-Chair Wifredo “Willy” Gort, and SEOPW CRA Executive Director Clarence E. Woods III, celebrated the grand opening

of Island Living Apartments, a 70-unit, mixed-use, affordable housing development located in the heart of Overtown.

The evening commenced with a ribbon cutting cer-emony, declaring the official grand opening of the new building. Guests were then greeted by an authentic Baha-mian Junkanoo band leading them to the 3rd floor terrace for the continued celebration.

Island Living is part of the overall revitalization of the Overtown neighborhood; it is the first project to be com-pleted of four new affordable housing buildings planned for the area in partnership with the Southeast Overtown / Park West Community Rede-velopment Agency (Park West CRA), a City of Miami agen-cy dedicated to spearheading

new development efforts to benefit revitalization of the Overtown area and beyond.

“The Southeast Overtown / Park West Community Re-development Agency is proud to be a part of the develop-ment of this beautiful build-ing” said Clarence E. Woods III, SEOPW CRA Executive Director, “Like most com-munities across the nation, there is a great need for more affordable housing. This proj-ect is a perfect example of our efforts, in partnership with Atlantic|Pacific Communities and Palmetto Homes, to ex-

overall community. In addi-tion to the 5,000 square feet of commercial space, the ful-ly occupied building offers residents pedestrian friendly streetscapes, a playground area, community room, gym, and computer lab.

Island Living is particularly unique in that it has contrib-uted to the Overtown commu-nity from the ground up. Ario Lundy, President of Palmetto Homes and a partner on the Island Living development, launched a special campaign at the onset of construction when he hired Overtown resi-

pand housing opportunities and provide a better quality of life for our residents.”

Island Living is an eleven-story multi-family rental building, featuring one, two, and three bedroom units, of-fering high-quality, afford-able housing for local resi-dents. The property’s ground floor space will house appeal-ing retail serving both the building’s residents and the

dents and young people from Miami-Dade County’s Boot Camp program to assist in the construction of the property. Boot Camp offers young men and women who have been convicted of a crime an alter-native to prison, while teach-ing them a trade and allowing them to earn an income.

International Color Conference sponsored by the Tropical Flowering Tree Society June 10 & 11

With the help and expertise of our local Botanical Gardens, Plant Societies, Gar-den Clubs and horticulturally-oriented individuals, this goal is a distinct pos-sibility. We have planted almost 20,000 trees, shrubs and vines in Miami-Dade County during the past 20 years, at little

or no cost to the taxpayers!The Conference will be $70.00 for

early registration (before June 10th), and $80.00 at the door. Students re-ceive a discounted price of $40.00. For information on how to register, visit our website, www.TFTS.org

The Tropical Flowering Tree Society (TFTS) will be hosting an event that is geared toward plant enthusiasts. The Conference will host 8 speakers that are renowned in the plant world.

The Conference will be held at The Kampong 4013 Douglas Rd, Miami, FL 33133

Friday, June 10th will be the cocktail party and initial registration (unless you register early via our website). Our fi rst speaker will also give a wonderful presentation on Amazonian plants.

Saturday, June 11th, 7 speakers will make presentations on a wide selection of topics such as “Hunting for plants from around the world that are Florida friendly”, “New plants from Southeast Asia”, and “Therapy through horticul-ture: Color and Aromatherapy.”

This year’s speakers include: Dr. Mike Maunder, Dr. Christopher Bara-lato, Dr. Alan Meerow, Dr. Chad Hus-by, Hetty Ford, Jesse Durko, Dr. Ron

Mossman, and Craig Morell.

The Color Confer-ence is referred to as the International Color Conference because we have held this event on three continents. We have also had many internationally-rec-ognized botanists/horticulturists who have made presenta-tions at this Confer-ence.

The primary objec-tive of this Confer-ence is the dissemi-nation of information about new species/cultivars of tropi-cal fl owering trees, shrubs and vines in the environment of the tropics and warm subtropics. Many of these “new” plants are now being cultivated in South Flor-ida, especially in Miami-Dade County.

The TFTS motto is “Color the Ho-rizon,” and one of our ambitious goals is to make Miami-Dade County the “Flowering Tree Capital of the World!”

Performed by the children of the TheresienstadtConcentration camp during WWII, Brundibar

became a symbol of hope and resistance, as wellas a Nazi propaganda tool.
