THE COR AL GABLES PUBLIC LIB R ARY:
Deploying Diverse Resources to Reach the Community By: Chris Carson
Runyan, the current Branch Manager of the Coral Gables Library, has witnessed the library system change over the years; his tenure with the Miami-Dade Public Library System has comprised a variety of roles at multiple locations.
Chris@INYBN.com
Many residents of Coral Gables would be surprised to know that their Branch Library can trace its existence to the Lemon City Reading Room, established around 1894. Those humble beginnings helped form the foundations of 49 libraries that service 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 committed to being “the compelling community destination, by providing a five-star customer service experience.” Will

FDOT’s Aggressive Driving Campaign Aims To Reverse the Dangerous Driving Domino Effect By: Chris Carson Chris@INYBN.com
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 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the six driving behaviors defined as aggressive driving – failure to yield right-of-way, improper lane change, improper passing, following too closely, disregarding traffic control, and speeding—endanger, or are likely to endanger, people or property. That includes injury to you. T h o u g h s el f- p r e s 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 caution, 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
“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.

De día es muy bonito, cómo no. Pero cuando comienza a apagarse el sol, la vida se enciende en Ybor City. Las puertas 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 saber 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 inmigrantes cubanos, como el propio fundador, pero también por una buena camada de españoles, sobre todo de Asturias e italianos procedentes de Sicilia. Pero después de fundada a algo tenían que dedicarse, entonces comenzaron estos primeros moradores 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 habanos en ventanas y vendiendo este producto en cualquiera de sus negocios.

Carlos Sarmiento, Community Traff ic Safety Coordinator for the Florida Department 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 valuable 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 concerns on Krome Avenue. Sadly, the street had its share of crashes and even fatalities due to aggressive driving. It was time to address this prevalent Continued on page 7

Checklist for a more Sustainable Lifestyle Change at every level is crucial.
By: Karla Utting Karla@INYBN.com
What is a Carbon Footprint? We all have a carbon footprint, a measurement of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) we create by our daily activities. When carbon is released into the atmosphere faster than it can be reabsorbed by natural processes, it contributes to global warming. 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 heating 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.
Everyone can get involved in recycling. [Photos courtesy of Dream in Green.]
A carbon footprint is unique to each individual because we all manifest different behaviors. Some of us are more aware than others of our personal environmental impacts. Various governments address this challenge differently. While some have programs in place to control carbon emissions, others are far from implementing a change. Actions taken by some city authorities, for example, include: • green building ordinances • outreach strategies to educate residents about climate change challenges and solutions • incentives and tools to encourage residents to save energy and water • promotion of alternative transportation systems and carpooling • investment in public transport and infrastructure to facilitate cycling and walking However, governments often prioritize economic development at the environment’s expense. Retrofitting infrastructure can provide a major economic stimulus. But beyond the economic issue 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-

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.

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

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 global warming. Human society can phase out carbon emissions by focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation and investing in renewable energy, sustainable 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. Karla Utting

Many South Floridians are familiar with the employment-based fifth preference category more commonly known as the “EB-5 Investor Visa” or simply, the “EB5”. The popular, yet controversial program was created as part of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990. Essentially, the Act allows foreign nationals who invest a requisite amount of money (i.e. generally $1,000,000 but only $500,000 for investments in a “Targeted Employment Area”, which is defined to include rural areas or areas that have experienced an unemployment rate equal to 150% of the national average) into a commercial 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 allows 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 renewal by Congress periodically. This provision is much more popular than the traditional $1,000,000 investment requirement as the vast majority of EB-5 investments are “regional center” investments. The stated intent of this program is to stimul a t e t h e U. S . economy and promote immigration to the United States for foreign individuals who invest

The project kicked off with a happy hour fundraising 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 giving back to South Florida and Coral Gables and making 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 professionals outreach of the Coral Gables Community Foundation. The Ponce Society of Young Professionals supports the Foundation in carrying out its mission, and in getting more young professionals involved in Foundation initiatives and activities. The Ponce Society of Young Professionals also creates its own social events to further its outreach.

THE CORAL GABLES PUBLIC LIBRARY:
Deploying Diverse Resources to Reach the Community Continued from page 1
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 libraries 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 permanent collection of art on display which includes many sculptures, paintings, photographs, and other media. Its collection 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 sculptures of Spanish Explorers, many Haitian oil paintings, and numerous photographs of local splendor. The library’s appreciation of other art media doesn’t end with the visual arts. It offers several outlets to explore music and theatre; 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-
drive, and Axis360. “We are trying to connect with the community and let people know we have a lot of services that can help improve their lives in some shape or form. It is just people who are there to help you; no hidden agenda,” underscored Runyan. If you want to make a library event or class part of your agenda or just want to explore the exquisite artwork on display at the Coral Gables Branch Library, visit www.mdpls.org/branches/coral-gables-branch-library.html or call 305-442-8706.

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 citizens. We offer tai chi, yoga, dance, defensive driving, and computer classes,” stated Runyan. Computer classes are just a sample of the digital resources that the Coral

porary, Indian dancing, and many others. They try to hit a broad spectrum of performances to reach every age. Music is a real crowd pleaser,” observed Runyan. Patrons enjoy music and free concerts. The Cleveland Orchestra Miami recently played in the library’s auditorium to a large reception; when an event generates a turn-out as substantial as the symphony concert, it can influence later events and classes that the library has aligned. The library’s offerings aim to engage visitors mentally, while some programs are geared towards facilitating a social exchange.

you start adding those up it becomes an increasingly dangerous situation for not only drivers, but bicyclists and pedestrians as well,” Sarmiento stated. Various resources are directed towards balancing the scale for those who are impacted by aggressive drivers, namely everyone. Though adult males between the ages of 24-35 are statistically 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 Campaign 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-follow tips to start the dominoes falling in the right direction: avoid the blind spots,
pass with caution, merge with care, don’t cut vehicles off, signal sooner, pay attention, share the road, and don’t speed. Speeding is arguably the most rampant aggressive driving behavior and typically leads to many of the others. If drivers will slow down and think about their actions, many other dangerous scenarios can be more easily avoided. “Thinking differently and changing the mindset of drivers is at the core of how we want to educate the public. That’s where we want to make a difference. We are all in this together,” underlined Sarmiento. Although Drive Safe Campaign will end in June, Sarmiento will carry on efforts at raising awareness with the hope that Miami-Dade residents have listened to his earlier message and implement safe driving habits.

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 Rockefeller Foundation Chief Operating Officer Peter Madonia and Amy Armstrong, Director of City Relationships at 100 Resilient Cities, recently celebrated their region’s selection to the 100 Resilient Cities (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 equality, sea level rise, aging infrastructure, and more. 100RC is a $164 million effort founded by The Rockefeller Foundation in 2013, focused on helping cities around the world build resilience to the social, economic, and physical challenges 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 Officers (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 Resilience Strategy. The county and cities will receive technical support through 100RC to develop a strategy that reflects the region’s collective needs and its capacity to address them. The cities will also gain access 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, technology, 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 Officer of The Rockefeller Foundation. “A dynamic, holistic strategy for moving Miami forward
[Photo courtesy of Karla Utting]
should address the city’s aging infrastructure, housing stock, and public transportation system – all in addition to fast-emerging threats as a result of climate change. We’re excited to help build a stronger, more resilient Miami.” “We are so proud to welcome Greater Miami and the Beaches to 100 Resilient Cities,” said 100RC President Michael Berkowitz. “The region’s leadership has demonstrated exceptional commitment to resilience building by hiring Chief Resilience Officers in Miami-Dade County and Miami Beach. We were also impressed by the innovative 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 Beaches 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 commitment to building resilience in a way that connects silos of government and sectors of society, 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 communities 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 commit to long-term solutions that ensure their ability to enjoy our extraordinary place.” Member cities were selected upon the recommendation of distinguished judges from around the world from prestigious organizations such Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, McKinsey & Co Africa, African Leadership Network, Unilever, Swedish International Development Cooperation (SIDA), Sidewalk Labs, Bjarke Ingels Group, Aga Khan Foundation, Reserve Bank of India, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 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.

Vizcaya Celebrates Launch of New Book Vizcaya Museum and Gardens recently hosted the book release and signing of Robert Winthrop Chanler: Discovering the Fantastic, the reawakening of a lost figure of American modernism which has been co-published by Vizcaya 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 straddled 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 techniques and unorthodox material choices. Commissioned by wealthy patrons, the majority 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 photography from such exclusive locations as The Colony Club and the Long Island studio of Gertrude 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 reopened the Swimming Pool grotto for the first time, following a significant structural restoration, 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 Conservator, Lauren Hall were on hand to sign copies of the book and answer questions about Chanler as well as the works created for Vizcaya.

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 Officials Island Living is the first project to be completed of four new affordable housing buildings planned for the Overtown area. Atlantic | Pacific Communities (A|P Communities), a subsidiary of Atlantic | Pacific Companies (A|P), and partner Palmetto Homes, along with local officials including Miami-Dade County Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson, City of Miami Commissioner and Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA) Chair Keon Hardemon, City of Miami Commissioner Francis Suarez, City of Miami Commissioner and SEOPW CRA ViceChair 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 ceremony, declaring the official grand opening of the new building. Guests were then greeted by an authentic Bahamian 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 completed of four new affordable housing buildings planned for the area in partnership with the Southeast Overtown / Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (Park West CRA), a City of Miami agency dedicated to spearheading

new development efforts to benefit revitalization of the Overtown area and beyond. “The Southeast Overtown / Park West Community Redevelopment Agency is proud to be a part of the development of this beautiful building” said Clarence E. Woods III, SEOPW CRA Executive Director, “Like most communities across the nation, there is a great need for more affordable housing. This project is a perfect example of our efforts, in partnership with Atlantic|Pacific Communities and Palmetto Homes, to ex-
overall community. In addition to the 5,000 square feet of commercial space, the fully occupied building offers residents pedestrian friendly streetscapes, a playground area, community room, gym, and computer lab.

International Color Conference sponsored by the Tropical Flowering Tree Society June 10 & 11
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 horticulture: Color and Aromatherapy.” This year’s speakers include: Dr. Mike Maunder, Dr. Christopher Baralato, Dr. Alan Meerow, Dr. Chad Husby, Hetty Ford, Jesse Durko, Dr. Ron
Mossman, and Craig Morell. The Color Conference is referred to as the International Color Conference because we have held this event on three continents. We have also had many internationally-recognized botanists/ horticulturists who have made presentations at this Conference. The primary objective of this Conference is the dissemination of information about new species/ cultivars of tropical flowering trees, shrubs and vines in the environment of the tropics and warm subtropics. Many of these “new” plants are now being cultivated in South Florida, especially in Miami-Dade County. The TFTS motto is “Color the Horizon,” and one of our ambitious goals is to make Miami-Dade County the “Flowering Tree Capital of the World!”
With the help and expertise of our local Botanical Gardens, Plant Societies, Garden Clubs and horticulturally-oriented individuals, this goal is a distinct possibility. 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 receive a discounted price of $40.00. For information on how to register, visit our website, www.TFTS.org
