Accidental Poetry on Purpose The O, Miami Festival Wants You to See Poetry as Part of Your Daily Life

“If you’re reading this, you’re literarily inclined.” That’s what Scott Cunningham, creator and director of O, Miami and the O, Miami poetry festival in April wants you--our readers--to know. “To me, that’s the point,” he explained further, describing his desire to heighten awareness of the poetry around all of us every day with O, Miami.
“We all use language, and we all have moments in our lives when we need language to do something more than operate the communicative functions it performs for us on a daily basis. We all experience love and heartbreak and tragedy and joy—in other words, we’re all acquainted with the extremes of human existence. Poetry is a way to amplify, understand, question, and oth-

erwise express emotions that have no other outlet. We’ve all had moments of feeling overwhelmed and speechless— Poetry is the avenue to turn those moments into speech and thereby share them with others and with future versions of yourself.” While O, Miami is continuing to grow as an organization, Cunningham stresses that that is not the point. O, Miami may be the one brand that concentrates more heavily on the product than the brand itself and has no real motivation to generate money or become the most popular group in its category. Instead, its main focus is showing the Greater Miami Area public how poetry is “normal and everywhere,” even though many people view it as esoteric and high-brow.

The Collection of Famed Photojournalist to be on Display at Historymiami Museum Captures Decades of History
Photographs depict world events including The Jonestown Massacre, Cocaine Cowboys Era, Hurricane Andrew and Mariel Boatlift Tim Chapman loved news, and he covered it better than just about anyone. As a photojournalist, Chapman captured the history of the world frame by frame for more than four decades. His life’s work will be soon be on display at HistoryMiami Museum from April 15August 14 in an exhibition titled Newsman: The Photojournalism of Time Chapman. It chronicles Miami’s history from the 1970s thru 2012, as well as major regional events and beyond, that have forever shaped our minds. The exhibition, curated by HistoryMiami and Photographer Al Diaz, highlights Chapman’s storied career that started at the Miami Herald in 1972. The photographs show snapshots of four decades of covering wars, riots, waves of refugees, and hurricanes. “For the last four decades, many of the iconic images from the most prominent events in South Florida were captured by Tim Chapman. He archived all of his photos and gifted that prized collection to HistoryMiami,” said Stuart Chase, CEO and President of HistoryMiami Museum. “We have chosen the very best that capture Chapman’s range of work, and we know it will be an eyeopening and moving experience for ev-
eryone who visits the exhibition.” In 1978, Chapman was one of only four photographers to make it into Jonestown, Guyana to document what became known as “The Jonestown Massacre,” which marked the largest loss of U.S. civilian lives in a non-natural disaster, prior to September 11th. Chapman also captured Hurricane Andrew, the Cocaine Cowboys era, and the Mariel Boatlift. As his friend and former colleague Carl Hiaasen once wrote, “You did not send Chapman to take pictures at Art Basel… You sent him to fires and wars and plane crashes and mass suicides in Guyana. You sent him to crawl the jungles of Nicaragua with armed rebels. You sent him to shoot the guarded island mansion of a crooked prime minister (where he rented a plane and flew in low “with the sun at our backs”)… And those of us who got to ride with him in those kick-ass days cherish every harrowing memory.” Some of those memories will be shared at a special opening night conversation with Chapman and Hiaasen that will be held on April 15 at HistoryMiami Museum. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $10 for HMM

members and $20 for non-members. The exhibition is part of the HistoryMiami Center for Photography which explores the Miami experience through photographic images. The Center builds on the Museum’s significant photogra-

décor with styled floor patterns and a stunning industrial chandelier hanging over the entrance, you will find yourself in a sight-seeing state, as you take in all the details of this little hole-in-the-wall. Located at the back of the narrow restaurant is a map of Paris all along the wall that leads you into a private dining area for large parties. The restaurant’s modern touch is only enhanced by the open kitchen concept, with four chefs working tirelessly to create the perfect French cuisine. The aromas gently ignite your senses and get your appetite going. By the time your first course arrives, you can hardly wait to eat. The night began with a large cochonnailles (appetizer), Degustation de Charcuterie, priced at $35. It included a display of deli meats, including finely cut prosciutto and sweet ham, accompanied with a pork rillettes and chicken liver mousse spreads, shredded celery roots and beets, all exquisitely presented on a shabby chic wooden tray. At first, the concept of Chicken liver mousse sounded absolutely appalling, but for the sake of this review, I chose to be adventurous and give it a try – when in Paris, right? The server insisted I spread the Rillete and mousse over the loaf of bread that accompanied the appetizer, layer it with prosciutto and top it off with the beets. Though I was hesitant at first, I instantly applauded his judgment as it was easily the most uniquely scrumptious food I had ever tasted. Its assortment of textures blended perfectly, and by the end of that tray, I found myself scooping out the chicken liver mouse with a spoon and enjoying it alone. The second appetizer ordered was Les Fromages, a five-piece sample board, $22. Though I’m not particularly fond of cheese (my palette is only sophisticated enough to enjoy mozzarella or parmesan), I felt the need to indulge for the sake of a complete cultural experience. Again, the cheese platter was displayed on a similar wooden tray, offering five selections of regional French cheeses cut into triangular shapes. They were accompanied by a sweet red onion marmalade and spicy caramelized walnuts. Our server invited us to spread the marmalade on the loaf of bread and top it off with the cheese of our choice. Astonishing. The marmalade masked the intense flavors of the goat cheese and béarnaise cheese I selected and offered a sophisticated peanut butter and jelly experience. To put it simply, it was glorious. Next came the Plats Principaux, also known as the main course. The first plate ordered was the Entrecote Frites, $29 – a grilled rib eye steak with French fries
and Béarnaise sauce. From the moment the plate was placed at the table, my mouth started to water. As I took a bite of the medium rare delicacy, I was in foodie heaven and instantly concluded that this steak topped that of The Forge or Hillstones – yes, that is a bold, yet accurate statement to make. Though there is little room to ruin fries, they paired perfectly with the red meat masterpiece and were heaven when dipped into the béarnaise sauce. The beauty of this plate was the simplicity in seasoning. In fact, that was what made this entire foodie experience so singular. Rather than being overly seasoned, everything we tried seemed simple and lean, and yet, we couldn’t get enough of it. The last plate to arrive was the Nos Poissons Entiers Rotis, or Fish of the Day, $29. We were served a lightly fried trout glazed in an almondine sauce with olive oil and lemon juice. It was accompanied by a few perfectly seasoned green beans. Despite its fried texture, the fish remained fresh and light, allowing you to enjoy the various individual flavors that blended so well together. The night ended with a Tarte Fine Aux Pommes a la Mode, a thin crisp apple tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This $8 dessert is a crispy spin on the apple pie and is worth every calorie you square with every bite. Brasserie Central knows how to embrace its diverse clientele, offering a full bar and tapas for those looking to just grab a drink. It is the perfect date spot or place for a quick drink after a day of shopping. The old Fashions, priced at a reasonable $12, are perfectly mixed with the right amount of bourbon. Naturally, it was beautifully presented, demonstrating that the mixologist and/or bartender took his or her time in crafting it. We also enjoyed a French 75 cocktaila mix of gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and topped with champagne – think of it as a mimosa getting dressed up for dinner. It’s a sweet and delicious drink with a certain simple quality. Served in a champagne glass, this $12 cocktail is a must-have. Brasserie Central can certainly run pricey; however, it offers more affordable options too. On Monday evenings, you can enjoy mussels and oysters for $16. Salads will run $9 - $10, and a burger from $15-$19. With a convivial ambiance, delicious cocktails and easily some of the most delightful cuisine I have ever tasted, Brasserie Central receives an enthusiastic two-thumbs up! It is certainly worth a repeat; perhaps I’ll see you there.

The Historic 1926 White Way Lights Dedication Ceremony
Join the Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables and the City of Coral Gables in celebrating the unveiling of the 1926 White Way Lights historical marker on the 90th anniversary of their commission. 90 years ago, Coral Gables city planners were influenced by the aesthetics of the City Beautiful Movement. The effect of the “White Way” lighting was for increased beauty as well as to illuminate the streets and sidewalks in the business and residential sections of Coral Gables. In 1926, 500 ornamental bases were commissioned for the “White Way” streetlights in Coral
Gables. They were designed by Denman Fink and Phineas Paist. Partners in the restoration, maintenance and preservation of the “White Way” streetlights are the Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables—a nonprofit whose mission is to promote the understanding and importance of historic resources—and the City of Coral Gables. Thank you to event underwriters Lisa Bennett, Mary Anne Danguillecourt, Dolly MacIntyre

National, Water, and Dance may be three words you did not really expect to hear jointly, but National Water Dance— an event coming to the Deering Estate on April 16 — lives up to its interesting and whimsical name. Dancers will be part of a literal movement of 1,500 dancers across the country who are dancing in an effort to raise awareness of water issues across the globe. Dancers include those at colleges and universities, private dance schools, elementary, middle and high schools, and professional dance companies. Founder and artistic director Dale Andree is a Miami resident who started National Water Dance after seeing the success of a statewide project called Florida Waterways Dance Project in 2011. She saw an Momentum [Photos courtesy of Dale Andree] opportunity for creating a project with plex than a simple, lack of accessible more emphasis on water and used the potable water, which can make those same structure of simultaneous perfor- problems easy to ignore and overlook. mances at water sites.

sis,” said Andree. “Even though there is a lot in the news about water-related issues, people don’t really pay attention to how critical it really is. I think what the arts do is bring those issues into our life cycle in a different way so we can feel it more naturally and more viscerally. It’s a slow seeping into the consciousness, a presence saying, ‘This is something you need to pay attention to.’ Dance is something of joy and beauty, and sometimes it is about highlighting the beauty of an area and building the idea in the local consciousness, like a constant drip that permeates stone.” National Water Dance is also permeating the broader consciousness of internet users with a growing presence on Facebook, YouTube, and other popular media sources. Dancers from all over the country are beginning to post what they are doing online, raising awareness of local issues and to the movement as a whole. Andree says it is really beginning to feel like a larger community and a positive force for participants and viewers alike, creating a change that cannot be quantified. “I know the importance of this for the dancers,” noted Andree. “It has taken me some time to come to an understanding of the real meaning of what we are doing here. I really believe that art is about living life out loud and living life in public. When you do that, someone, something is going to be different.” National Water Dance is about tack-
ling critical questions related to water issues and then distilling a response to it into a beautiful, artistic answer. For the dancers, the project presents an inviting, but thorny challenge in that the dances are performed outside, and the work is competing with all of the openness and largeness of the outdoors while simultaneously highlighting its grace. It demands a lot of focus and concentrated energy, Andree explained. Dancers not only have to strive to hold the attention of the audience, but to keep their own attention engaged as well. Energy naturally gets pulled out and away from the dancers, dispersing in the environment around them. Facing this challenge together is one way the National Water Dance builds community among the dancers. There will be 80 dancers, along with 80 singers and percussionists at the Deering Estate battling with the distractions of the world around them, while trying to tell a cohesive story and simultaneously draw attention to the environment they are in. The percussion score is signed Brandon Cruz, director of the South Florida Center for Percussive Arts, and the dance will include the Jubilation Dance Ensemble of Miami Dade College. However, while there are only 80 dancers in Miami, they are part of something larger, and that is something that can be felt by the dancers; the responsibility of creating a memorable and motivating National Water Dance is part of that. For those who cannot attend the National Water Dance, the entire local and national event will be live streamed online at nationalwaterdance.org. For more information, visit the website or Facebook page for the event.

Miami and the poetry festival are the poetry-in-public-places projects in which poets and poetry lovers congregate in unexpected places to share and create poetry. For these events, they partner with other organizations and allow those organizations to be the face of the event, taking a back seat “as long as poetry is being incorporated organically into [their] partner’s programming.” Not all of the O, Miami festival programming is created
message about the O, Miami poetry festival as well. “It’s your festival, if you want it to be,” said Cunningham. During the month, there are many ways to be an active participant in the world of poetry. “Or you can not participate!” he noted. “That’s fine too,” harkening back to the idea that poetry is organic and represents something true and human, not imposed and only for bookish types (although it is certainly for scholarly folks

in-house, either. In fact, over half of the events are created and run by people outside of the O, Miami office. And while O, Miami does indirectly aim to grow as an organization, the growth it is particularly excited about is that of other cultural organizations that now proudly include poetry as part of their activities and mission. Organizers’ charitable attitude and predisposition of selfdeflection pervade their main
as well). Cunningham started O, Miami when he left Florida International University’s graduate school, where he received a Master of Fine Arts in poetry but had no clear idea of what to do next. The advanced degree without a published book prevented him from teaching; so, his prior journalism career beckoned. While he worked, he also organized lectures and readings on the side un-
der the name “University of Wynwood.” The University of Wynwood was a side project until the well-known Knight Foundation asked its staff to “create a poetry festival that fed into their ideas about democratizing art and culture.” That was 2010, and now in 2016, the O, Miami festival has a large following and is gaining ground, whether sought out or not. The festival lasts the entire month of April and is geared toward an audience that might never otherwise attend poetry-centric events. The Knight Foundation accepted this idea and provided support for the festival. As official host hotel for O, Miami (since 2009), The Betsy - South Beach is also sponsor for many events, both off-site and onproperty – at 1440 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach. “National Poetry Month programs and our ongoing partnership with Scott Cunningham’s O, Miami Festival, are among the most important of our PACE outreach efforts and cut to the heart of who we are”, said Betsy owner, Jonathan Plutzik, whose community-based programming (Philanthropy, Arts, Culture, and Education) has gained the property recognition as one of the world’s great literary hotels. Cunningham’s desire to make O, Miami’s mission more of a reality for the Greater Mi-

ami area and people around the world comes from an honest and passionate place. “Writing poetry is the most challenging and rewarding creative experience in my life,” Cunningham remarked. “I dabble in a lot of different arts, and running a non-profit is certainly a creative act, but there’s nothing like trying to write a poem, or trying to memorize a poem, or trying to translate a poem (which is a very active kind of reading). I think language is the closest thing we have to magic, in that it allows us to exist inside another person’s body, so participating in poetry, for me, is ultimately about being more human.”
O, Miami aims to make poetry accessible in a literal sense as well as emotionally and intellectually, which means it has been shaped as a user-friendly festival. Visit www.omiami.org to find a poetry event near, visit the festival on Facebook, follow on Twitter and Instagram at @ omiamifestival. Even if you don’t come to an event on purpose, the people at O, Miami hope you will encounter the festival anyway through one of the poetry-in-public projects. Most of all, they genuinely hope it will make way for a pleasurable or reflective moment in your day.

Citizen’s Independent Transportation Trust Funding Better Transit for Miami-Dade Continued from page 1
“What everyone is going to see is a real evolution in the transit systems of the Miami-Dade County corridors. The progress in all of the county’s areas will renew and re-energize the entire community,” remarked Scurr. His optimism echoes many of his colleagues’ statements made during the 2015 Transportation Summit on January 22nd. At this summit, Miami-Dade County officials, industry leaders, and fellow citizens built upon collective ideas and contributed to an all-inclusive and coordinated public transit system. The summit’s objective was to bring together stakeholders, agencies, community members, and national experts to focus on the future of transportation in Miami-Dade County and discuss the next major transportation projects in the community. The summits have taken place every other year since 2013, with an upcoming Transportation Summit scheduled for 2017 in Orlando. They provide insights on the Transportation Trust’s goals and objectives, though they are not exclusively connected. “We are a funding agency. We financially support the projects throughout Miami-Dade County to improve trans-
portation. The corridor’s plan determines how the money is spent,” states Scurr. For instance, Coral Gables receives about $1.4 million annually which it exclusively allocates to its trolley system. Key Biscayne, however, receives about $370,000 a year to fund buses and bus shelters, in addition to exploring options for other public transportation improvements. Other areas of Miami-Dade County use funds from the Transportation Trust to enhance aspects of their transit systems according to their respective corridor’s needs. These smaller projects are implemented with a grander goal in mind. “We have various larger projects funded in our portfolio of public works programs. There are plans for computerized signals in all of the counties. We want to bring the tri-rail to Miami, we are working on the coastal link and the I-95 express. There are a whole host of projects we fund,” Scurr explained. These procedures and concepts are outlined in the Transportation Trust’s annually updated Five Year Implementation Plan, which tracks the projects’ current status as well as the progress in implementation versus the baseline

provided in last year’s initial plan. The Plan summarizes the Transportation Trust’s intended accomplishments, its adherence to its initial goals, and future prospects of existing projects- all of which are designed with the ultimate goal in mind. “I started my career in Washington and have always been engaged in transit; it is a real way to make a legacy of positive impact on people’s lives. I look out my window at 5 pm and see tail lights into the distance. I want to alleviate that, and I think we can,” Scurr conceptualized. This vision to improve overall tran-
sit for a better quality of life will need support from all parties involved, in addition to a consensus among all shareholders. A coalition including city, county, state, federal, and even private investors must be assembled to make the Transportation Trust’s initiatives viable and achievable towards the betterment of all. “You can’t have a livable community without transit, it’s integral,” underscored Scurr.

Though evidently spite him and takes action, shooting forlorn, the film portrays him as being
utterly content in his own company, as if unperturbed with the little human interaction he has, which enhances his love and connection with his sheep. It is clear that they are his family. As the film develops, the discovery of the hidden sheep adds a touch of tension when it revealed Gummi had not completely complied with the governmental regulation on culling, contributing to what is essentially the heart of the movie: family and the lengths you will go to protect those you love most, be they human or ovine. This is only enhanced throughout the movie as you learn of Gummi taking care of his brother each time he finds him passedout –inebriated in the snow or when you learn that Gummi owns the land and has had every right to evict Kiddi from his property over the last four decades and yet has refrained from doing so. To a point, there is an extremely muted religious undertone where Gummi serves as the “Shepherd” for his brother, much like Christ serves as the Shepherd for his sheep. There is also a thin layer of humor throughout the movie, enabling the viewer to better understand the relationship between the brothers and the hidden love and concern that exists between the two. Such moments include frontal nudity, one of Kiddi when Gummi finds him keeled over in the snow and gives him a warm bath, as well as a scene involving Gummi tak-
ing a blacked-out Kiddi to the hospital in a tractor. The movie wraps up with the discovery of the hidden sheep by the Icelandic version of the CDC. When they learn of Gummi’s indiscretions, they assume the role of the villain, taking draconian measures to find and kill the remaining sheep. Though their exacerbated persistence stems from a point of valid concern, you cannot help but find yourself rooting for the sick sheep, hoping Gummi figures out a way to save them. Undoubtedly, you will find yourself sitting at the edge of your seat, biting your nails unsure of how he’ will pull it off. Desperate to save his beloveds, Gummi turns to Kiddi for help, and the two brothers set their differences aside and work together in an attempt to save the last of their historic line of sheep, insisting that they are doing this for the latter and care little for each other. The film’s climax again raises tension and drama with a blinding snowstorm the brothers are forced to endure. The movie ends with the two losing sight of their sheep and Gummi passing out from the cold. Kiddie builds a snowdome, slips the two of them inside, removes all their clothes, and holds his brother tightly repeating the words “it’s going to be ok, Gummi.” Though we never learn of what happens with the sheep or if Gummi and Kiddi make it out alive, once again there is no need to know. You are left satisfied knowing and understanding that the real tale of this movie is the enduring and unconditional love between two brothers and the importance and dependability of family. All and all, it is a fantastic, heartwarming film that will keep you thinking long after you leave the theater. Two thumbs way up!

Coral Gables Garden Club donates $5000 to Fairchild Tropical Garden for Orchid Plantings The Garden Club visited Fairchild’s Micropropagation Lab, where orchids are being grown for the Million Orchid Project in order to bring native orchids back to South Florida. To contribute to the Project, the Coral Gables Garden Club has donated $5000 to ensure that native orchids repopulate South Florida once again. For 90 years, the Garden Club has been working hard to beautify Coral Gables and preserve its history. There was a time, in the late 1800s, when native orchids were torn from the trees they grew on and shipped across the U.S. to those who coveted the exotic-looking blooms. Now, it is rare to see native orchids growing in the wild. Fairchild’s Micropropagation Lab, began when it opened in December 2012 as part of the Jane Hsiao Laboratories in the DiMare Science Vil-
lage, is where the majority of the Million Orchid Project is taking place to ensure the repopulation of native species. The project aims to have the first generation of reestablished orchids blooming throughout public spaces in South Florida within five years. The Coral Gables Garden Club is proud to be a part of the Million Orchid project to bring back beautiful orchids to Coral Gables and South Florida!

dice en el lenguaje del fútbol, esta mujer es un crack. “Mis Reflexiones Sobre Ho´oponopono” Es el más reciente título. Vino a presentarlo a Miami y a dar seminarios sobre el tema, cuya fuente inspiradora está en las palabras felicidad, amor y éxito. Cuando se le pregunta sobre cómo ha
La agenda de Mabel Katz es inmesamente apretada. Charlas, conferencias, grabaciones, programas… Solo de ver las páginas llenas con todo lo que tiene que hacer, los demás se cansan. Ella no. Está siempre fresca como una lechuga y con una sonrisa que le va de oreja a oreja. Y eso es así porque Mable está haciendo lo que le gusta. Porque dejó atrás sus días sentadas en un escritorio como Administradora para dedicarse a llevar al mundo una doctrina en la que cree profundamente: el Ho’oponopono. Este nombre, prácticamente impronunciable para la mayoría de las personas que lo escuchan por primera vez, es una técnica hawaiiana que se basa en la resolución de los problemas y conflictos en nuestra propia vida.
