Alleviating South Florida Travel The South Florida Woes on the Rails of Brightline Symphony and the
Magic of Music
By: Chris Carson Chris@INYBN.com
Alright, Floridians. If you’ve lived in Florida longer than a day, you understand that getting around the state can be challenging in the best of times. Bumper-to-bumper traffic and crowded roadways plague South Florida. Fortunately, there are changes coming to the way you travel around the lower regions of the Sunshine State, and those changes begin with Brightline.
What is Brightline? Brightline is the fi rst new privately funded passenger rail system in the United States in the past 100 years. It

New World School of the Arts: A Small Institute Making a Big Impact on Artists
By: Chris Carson Chris@INYBN.com
T he academic world is changing. What was available to high school students at the turn of the millennium was different than the opportunities their parents’ generation had during the 1970’s. The curriculums, practicums, and beliefs of the educational process have altered tremendously over those three decades. Flash forward to 2016, an election year with seemingly no presidential candidate making headlines with their educational platform, and you can find schools revolutionizing the field
with their progressive practices. The New World School of the Arts is one of those ‘outside the box’ institutions. Maggie Cuesta, current Dean at the New World School of the Arts in Miami, and her faculty
provide a rare opportunity for gifted young artists. Open to both high school and college students, the school welcomes creative talents to showcase their abilities with an audition.

Exemplifying many of its home region’s characteristics — cultural diversity, tropical flair and electric ambiance, the South Florida Symphony is also misunderstood very much like the city it calls home. Many subscribe to the notion that a symphony only plays antiquated classical style music, and yet, this cannot be farther from the truth as attested to by South Florida Symphony Conductor and Music Director, Sebrina María Alfonso. “Classical music is a really an era, and a small portion of what we play. I would define ours as Orchestra Symphonic Music. People hear orchestra music and think of what they hear in an elevator. What we achieve is much more dramatic,” commented Alfonso. Clearly, classical is an erroneous term to describe the
sounds that the South Florida Symphony produces; its current set list includes two pieces from living composers and several 20th century avant garde works. Its music is much more dramatic as well. At one of the Symphony’s concerts, a patron can expect to be enthralled by an unlimited assortment of instrumental combinations and textures. Comparing the symphony to a solo artist or even a band is akin to likening sunlight to candle light; the grandness of one clearly outshines the other. “The Symphony is seventyfive souls coming together. People who have dedicated a lifetime to mastering an instrument. We’ve come together to form a vision, brought our own personalities and creativity to it, with the hope of sounding cohesive,” explained Alfonso. Sounding as one unit isn’t the sole aspiration of Alfonso Continued on page 7

Enclavada entre Tampa y el Golfo de México, Saint Petersburg es un destino turístico maravilloso. Acaso uno de los mejores de toda Florida. Por eso, es el lugar preferido de jubilados y retirados para vivir y de los jóvenes para ir a vacacionar rales muy hermosos de visitar y siembras de naranja y vinaterías. Y si el visitante quiere apostar, pues el Derby Lane es el lugar adecuado, no solo para eso y ver a los galgos corriendo tras un conejo, sino para quienes quieran descansar un rato del sol y de la arena. Y ni hablar del Chihuly Collection, un museo de obras de arte de cristal. Y

ara llegar hasta St. Pete, es preciso atravesar un puente larguísimo, tanto que mide 8 millas. Es como un hilito de concreto en medio de un océano que se presenta con un azul intenso. Hermoso. Después de cruzarlo por varios minutos y de disfrutar de una vista absolutamente maravillosa, refrescante e imponente, dos torres, tipo antiguo dan la bienvenida a la ciudad. Y lo que viene desde ese punto en adelante, es realmente majestuoso. Saint Petersburg, como es el realidad el nombre de esta localidad, se encuentra en el condado de Pinellas, justo en una península entre la preciosa bahía de Tampa y el inconfundible Golfo de México, que se une a tierra firme por el propio Tampa, con Bradenton y por Sunshine Skyway Bridge — el puente larguíismo. Pero mucho más allá de las bellezas naturales de este sitio de playa y sol, esta ciudad es un punto focal a la hora de hacer elecciones en los Estados Unidos. Si, como se sabe, Florida es decisiva cuando de elegir presidentes se trata y St. Pete es la cuarta ciudad más grande de todo el estado. Así que los votos que se allí se dan, no solo cuentan, sino que ayudan en mucho a decidir el resultado final.
El sol brilla todos los días Esta ciudad también es conocida como The Sunshine City, pues como dicen sus pobladores, allí hay sol los 365 días del año y, aunque no es el Caribe,
Rodeado, como península que es, de agua por casi todos lados, las marinas de St. Pete son sencillamente maravillosas. [Foto cortesia de Minin Arevalo Parodi]
es una de los lugares más parecidos que tiene Estados Unidos a ese mar con el que tantos sueñan. Por eso, St. Pete es uno de los destinos turísticos más famosos y apetecidos no solo por los habitantes del estado de las naranjas, sino también por gente que viene de localidades más frías. Caminar por su Downtown que además de todo es sencillamente espectacular, es la mejor manera de encontrarse con jubilados y retirados europeos en abundancia, pero también con una gran camada de gente que viene de Detriot –de donde es su fundador- Chicago y Nueva York. Pero ojo, no hay que confundirse, así como es verdad que hay muchas personas que ya están por encima de los 55 años y que ven a St. Pete como el lugar ideal para vivir y disfrutar de su excelente clima y mejores paisajes, los muchachos no se quedan atrás. Tiene unas callecitas al mejor estilo
de Wynwood que bien vale la pena explorar. Galerías, tiendas de arte, diseño de ropa, calzados, paredes con murales increíbles y una buena cantidad de bares y sitios para disfrutar de la noche.
Diversión a montón Desde hacer avistamiento de ballenas, hasta pasar la mañana a bordo de un crucero por sus costas con posibilidad de almorzar en el mar, son apenas dos de las actividades más recurrentes de los visitantes de St. Pete. Pero si lo que busca el turista es arte, pues aquí va a encontrar mucho y del bueno. El Museo Dalí, es el segundo más grande del mundo que tenga el artista. Además, son ya muy famosas sus visitas guiadas de literatura y arte en donde con tan solo apuntarse, los interesados disfrutan de conversatorios, clubes de lectura y mucho más. Pero como lo que más se busca allí son las playas, pues la diversión es indetenible. Hay visitas guiadas en barcos y aventuras extremas a bordo de lanchas que son las más populares. Y si lo que se quiere es comer, la gastronomía es bastante multicultural. En el centro de la ciudad, perfecto para recorrer a pie hay montones de restaurantes con comida de muchas partes del mundo. Destaca la norteamericana, como es lógico, pero hay muy buenos sitios españoles, griegos e italianos. También hay varios reservorios natu-
Una parte de la ciudad está destinada al diseño, las artes y lo postmoderno. Es bastante cerca de la Univerisad. [Foto cortesia de Minin Arevalo Parodi]
para los amantes de los deportes, en especial del beisbol, el Tropicana Field es la octava maravilla del mundo. Y cómo no, si se puede disfrutar de un tartidazo en un mega stadium con aire acondicionado –excelente para el calor que hace siemre por la zona- además que después de los partidos los niños pueden correr en el campo y hay muchos corners con comida sabrosa y cerveza para pasar un día diferente. En fin, que queda en carro a tan solo unas 3,2 horas de Miami; aunque siempre está la opción de irse en avión y llegar hasta Clearwater y dar el saltico. Es histórico y a la vez juvenil, soleado, amable y sobre todo muy hermoso. Definitivamente, St. Pete lo tiene todo.
El Downtown es divertido, amable y espectacular. [Foto cortesia de Minin Arevalo Parodi]

est population base in the United States, and it’s growing at about 1.5 times the rate of population growth in the rest of the country. Florida has a very large and potent economy that relies on infrastructure and mobility. With that, mobility in the state is largely limited to cars on a road system that was constructed when the state population was about a third of what it is today. Transportation infrastructure has not been able to keep pace with the rapid growth in Florida,” commented Edwards. From these factors came an opportunity/need for some alternative solution to help motorists move about the state, particularly from larger, key metropolitan areas (Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach). These areas see many people traveling back and forth in large numbers. “Our team looked at passenger rail systems of all types around the world and came to some important conclusions. We believe trains work as the preferred method for people to go back and forth between places when you are servicing large metropolitan centers that have high mobile activity between

Brightline is enhancing the safety of existing grade crossings through the installation of mechanisms such as four quadrant gates, center median and improved signalization systems. “Safety is our number one priority. Our trains will meet and exceed the highest emission and safety standards set by the federal government,” stated Edwards.

ida East Coast Industries), as a result of its legacy dating back to Henry Flagler and the original Florida East Coast Railway, had a unique opportunity,” Edwards remarked. Seizing that unique opportunity, they were able to take an operating transportation corridor in the form of the historic Flagler railroad that has been in operation for 120 years and leverage that by adding this new form of mobilBrightline will offer amenities both on the train and at its stations like the Central Fare Entry.

them,” said Edwards. When road congestion constitutes a significant impediment to driving - as it does here in South Florida – it becomes a key component contributing to the success of a rail system. Another factor is when cities are within 250-300 miles from each other—making it too short of a distance to fly and too long to drive: Orlando is approximately 235 miles from Miami, which satisfies this criterion. There are 500 million annual trips taken between Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Orlando, and over 95% of those trips are by drivers in private automobiles. That makes it one of the most heavily trafficked corridors in the country. “It became evident to us that the asset base of our parent company (Flor-

AUTOSANACIÓN COMO LA VÍA PARA SER SANOS Y FELICES
Juana Frontera: “Permanecer en el ahora. Allí está la clave” Gastroenterólogo de profesión y una de las voces más autorzadas en medicina infantil en esta área, un día decidió aprovechar la oportunidad que le daba el exilio para seguir un nuevo camino. Entonces, se entregó a su pasión y con muchas ganas de ayudar al prójimo, emprendió la vía de acompañar a otros esa hermosa tarea de curarse a sí mismos. Por: Minín Arévalo-Parodi Minin@INYBN.com
Hace más de 30 años se graduo de médico y pasó más de la mitad de su vida trabajando y ejerciendo como pediatra especialista en gastroenterología. Fue pionera en el uso de nuevas tecnologías para el tratamiento de enfermedades asociadas al tracto digestivo en niños y estuvo a la cabeza de equipos médicos de muy alto desempeño. Una carrera rutilante. Un nombre hecho, una trayectoria. Pero en la vida todo es efímero y dura solo cuanto debe durar. Un infortunado incidente la puso en manos de secuestradores y ese día supo que ya no podía seguir viviendo en el país donde tanto había logrado. Se vino hace 10 años a los Estados Unidos. Ya aquí pensó de nuevo ¿quiero seguir en lo mismo que he hecho durante casi toda mi existencia? La respuesta fue clara. No. Entonces, la Doctora Juana Frontera cambió radicalmente de rumbo. Se aferró a esa experiencia que había acumulado como escaladora y montañista y consiguió dentro de si las muchas enseñanzas que había adquirido en lugares tan recónditos y especiales como El Tíbet, La India y Nepal. Se enroló en la Universidad de Harvad y en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, después de pasar por múltiples certificaciones e incluso una maestría en educuación, salió con un nuevo diploma; ese que la ha llenado de satisfacciones y de alegrías desconocidas hasta el momento. Del General Hospital de una de las universidades más famosas del mundo, egresó como especialista en Medicina, Mente y Cuerpo.
Con ese diploma en la mano, Juana sabía que su vida había dado un giro para siempre. Y esa vuelta iba en torno a lo que ella quería ser.
Sanar, sanarse Aunque ya tiene otros cuatro títulos publicados, en esta oportunidad Juana Frontera escribió de su nueva pasión. Esa que la llevó a saber, intuir, imaginarse y comprobar en la práctica como médico de niños en Venezuela que la mente está íntimamente conectada con el cuerpo y nada pasa en él que no sea el fiel reflejo, producto y consecuencia de sus emociones. Con esto en las manos y llena de mucho conocimiento tanto aprendido como nuevo, esta pediatra comenzó a poner en blanco y negro los conceptos básicos de la autosanación como la manera más fácil, sencilla y segura de estar sano y sentirse feliz. Pero no es una frase hecha de autoayuda. No. Es todo un protocolo que le explica a quienes se le acercan o la leen y que está basado en puntos fundamentales. Al respecto dice: “El cuerpo por sí solo no enferma, es como un espejo que refleja lo que pasa dentro. Por eso no sirve de nada tratar sólo el cuerpo, la enfermedad es siempre la manifestación de un conflicto dentro de uno. Entonces la solución debe centrarse en restablecer el equilibrio entre nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente. ¿Cuál es el primer paso que debemos dar? Trabajar en tener una profunda conexión con nuestra alma, con nuestras emociones, con nuestros pensamientos y con nuestros verdaderos deseos”.
Rescatar lo que ya sabemos para vivir mejor La autosanación, que es a fin de cuentas, como su propio nombre lo indica, sanarse a sí mismo, es un proceso que todos conocemos. Frontera dice: “todos tenemos en nuestro cuerpo la capacidad de la autosanación. Somos nosotros quienes nos desconectamos de ese poder y lo hacemos por pensar negativo, comer de manera incorrecta y darle rienda suelta al estrés”. Ya lo decía también con sus propias palabras el famoso libro aquel de Lou Marinoff “Más Platón y menos Prozac” ir hacia lo interno, pensar positivo, meditar y controlar el estrés, es la mejor manera de estar sano. Y es justo por esta corriente que se va Juana Frontera y lo recalca: “la realidad se crea con el pensamiento. Si nos conectamos con nuestro yo, sanamos”. Entonces, de la manera más sencilla posible, su libro ‘El Poder de la Autosanación’ lo explica claramente: cuidar las emociones, pensamientos, la alimentación, hacer deportes y controlar el stress. Y para cerrar sus sabios consejos, Juana Frontera recomienda una fórmula infalible de bienestar: “Si bien es cierto que no nos podemos abstraer por completo de los problemas, tampoco nos podemos dejar envolver por ellos. Entonces, lo mejor es disfrutar del presente, respirar y conectarse con la naturaleza. Todo tiene un

tiempo y una planificación. Si estás en la playa, disfruta del sol y de las olas, no te mortifiques por la factura que tienes que pagar. No en ese momento. Organízate, enfócate y relájate. Medita. Sonríe. A fin de cuentas, es bastante fácil ser feliz”.
Una Fundación para ayudar a los demás. Juana Frontera es la presidenta de su propio instituto de salud: Holistic Health Institute y dentro de él funciona además su Fundación Educa Hoy Foundation. Allí, de la mano con otros profesionales, Frontera le brinda ayuda sobre todo a los latinos que no están en capacidad de costearse tratamientos para la autosanación. Su libro, El Poder de la Autosanación, está disponible en Amazon, tanto en papel como en formato digital. Y quienes quieran tener mayores detalles d elo que ella hace y cómo puede ayudarlos, deben ingresar en su sitio en internet: www.juanafrontera. com

and the South Florida Symphony. The orchestra’s growing regional impact is beginning to be felt; people appreciate the high level at which its members perform. Being the region’s leader and core orchestra has enabled the performers to work with other regional groups. Invoke String Quartet, Excelsa Quartet, Tessa Lark, Svetlana Smolina, and Jeffrey Biegel are a few guest musicians to collaborate with the South Florida Symphony. Not only has it inspired other artists, but the Symphony has become a beacon of education to youth of the area. Michelle Obama helped facilitate an outreach of the arts, and the Symphony’s programs bring music to children to enrich their lives in numerous ways. “Teachers love it for kids. The best part is people want us to come have another performance or group once they’ve experienced what we offer. People understand it’s great for kids,” remarked Alfonso. There are countless factors why music should be a part of our lives, especially

music as an art form such as that of the South Florida Symphony. It enhances our existence, which is the whole idea of the arts. While the public is not always exposed to the crème de la creme, the Symphony stands out with its high caliber performances. Influencing the youth to play an instrument is also one of the orchestra’s missions. Falling in love with playing an instrument grants a lifetime experience. Unlike many athletic endeavors, music doesn’t end in your 30’s; rather, it is just beginning. “We get better as we get older. With a lifetime of study and commitment, you can achieve a certain level of technique and artistry to play these pieces at the level they deserve to make a soulful experience,” stated Alfonso. And the experience is what the South Florida Symphony wants everyone to be a part of, mainly because it directly influences their music. The audience creates the energy by way of which Alfonso and her fellow artists thrive, feeding their emotional abilities to create vibrant, wonderful harmonic sounds.

Nathan B. Zeder and Daniel J. Diaz Leyva recently received Palmer Trinity School’s (PTS) Distinguished Alumni Awards. Nathan B. Zeder, who graduated in 1998, is an associate with Esslinger Wooten Maxwell Realtors (EWM). He received the Founders’ Alumni Award, recognizing those who have demonstrated honor, courage and leadership, and who have helped to fulfill the vision of Palmer Trinity School’s founders. As a student-athlete, Zeder was a topranked junior in tennis during high school at both the state and national level. After graduating from the University of Illinois in 2002, he competed as a tennis pro for a year before partnering with his mother, Judy, to begin the Zeder team at EWM in 2003, which has consistently been ranked among the top five realtors in MiamiDade County. Zeder was inducted into the Palmer Trinity Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. He has been involved with PTS’s Sandy Golf Tournament since 2005 which raises funds for outstanding students to receive need-based financial aid. In addition, he has served on the Admission Advisory Committee, has chaired the Alumni Annual Fund, and is now serving on the inaugural Alumni Association Board. Daniel J. Diaz Leyva graduated in 1998 and is of counsel and a business lawyer with Foley & Lardner LLP. He received the Head of School’s Alumni Award, recognizing distinguished service to the community and exemplifying Palmer Trinity School’s mission — commitment to the moral, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and creative growth of all members of the community. Diaz Leyva has served on numer-

ous boards for organizations as diverse as CHARLEE Homes for Children, the Consejo Empresarial de America Latina, the Hispanic National Bar Association and Florida Health Choices. He was recently appointed to the Board of Trustees of Miami-Dade College by Governor Rick Scott. His volunteer service for PTS includes the annual Alumni College and Career Day, serving on the Admissions Advisory Committee, speaking to prospective parents, and serving on the inaugural Alumni Association Board. He has been recognized by several organizations for his community work and received the notable Ruth Shack Leadership Award from the Miami Foundation which is given to an emerging leader who embodies the qualities of ethical leadership, dedication and service to Greater Miami.

New World School of the Arts:
A SMALL INSTITUTE MAKING A BIG IMPACT ON ARTISTS Continued from page 1
“The only way to get into the school is through an audition. We only accept about 45 students every year. We are very small, but a small student body equates to very active facility involvement. Classroom sizes are smaller, and one-on-one interaction is greater,” remarked Cuesta. In addition to smaller class sizes, each professor carries a vast knowledge of his or her field of study and is required to be a working professional in order to be on the staff at the New World School of the Arts. Therefore, students will be working directly with a successful artisan in the field they are pursuing. Their professors aren’t the only resource NWSA boasts. Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami Dade College, and the University of Florida form an educational partnership to create all that NWSA has to offer. Outside partnerships also have impacted the school. The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) is a non-profit organization that fosters cultural and educational exchange among the visual arts and has become an active partner with the NWSA. CIFO’s director, Eugenio Valdes Figueroa, reviewed all graduating NWSA students’ portfolios. Taking their partnership even further, CIFO will become involved in students’ last year by having them participate in CIFO’s annual programming. With the addition of CIFO’s involvement, NWSA students have a very diverse path to follow during their tenure at the school. “Students may attain their Associate’s degree from Miami Dade College and then pursue their Bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida in the same field, all while attending courses at the New World School of the Arts. It’s all done here on our campus through our curriculum,” Cuesta confirmed. The four major degree programs offered at the collegiate level include: Dance, Music, Theater, and Visual Arts. These same four areas comprise the art departments at the high school level of study. The NWSA provides an all-encompassing educational program of artistic facets, creative and
All students must audition to enter NWSA which includes producing their artwork for review. [Photo courtesy of NWSA] academic development, and prepares students for a career as a professional artist. So what does the NWSA look for in prospective students during their audition? “Talent. But you have to look for more than just talent. Sometimes we examine the thought process. We want to see where they begin and where they’ve got to. You can see thought to thought in their work. We can build on their skill level; we like to know how they respond to art,” Cuesta commented.
NWSA Dean, Maggie Cuesta, believes that students continue to achieve new heights of success within her school’s walls. [Photo courtesy of NWSA]

No matter the level at which a student enters the program, they can all hope to improve upon their existing talents through numerous support systems. A very important support system that NWSA has created—one which symbolizes NWSA’s commitment to ongoing excellence in education—is Key88. This program was developed by NWSA to ensure students receive needed financial support so they can become part of the 95% of graduating
college students at the school. The New World School of the Arts is finding the talent, molding students into professional artists, and supporting them along the process. They have high school students producing college level material and college students crafting professional grade artistry. After the journey is complete, NWSA even found some time to place the students into arts of other cultures. “After our students graduate, they go on a trip. This year, we are going to China. There are a lot of very special things we can do because of the people involved with our school,” said Cuesta. Part of the commitment to immerse students in another culture derives from the school’s diversity. NWSA is comprised of local South Floridians, students from all over the nation, and international students. They bring differing personalities to the school that makes it truly unique. “I think of New World as this little jewel in the middle of South Florida. We are very special. Every year when we see students’ final exhibitions, I am astounded at the work presented. I always find myself saying this is the best show yet, but it continues to get better and better,” Cuesta boasted.

The Miami Foundation Awards Over $1 Million to Nonprofits Community Grants Recipients Expands Access To Opportunities
In a neighborhood where quality education and school choice are limited, CARE Elementary School has a simple mission: to bridge the reading, literacy and technology gap in under-served communities. CARE is a free, private nonprofit elementary school located in one of Miami’s under resourced communities, Overtown. When CARE opened its doors for the first time in August 2015, according to their Lexia Core5 results, five percent of third graders were working at grade level. Today, 94 percent of the class is working on grade level material. Through its Community Grants program, The Miami Foundation invests in local nonprofit organizations, such as CARE Elementary School, dedicated to addressing well-being of children and youth and other pressing civic issues that shape quality of life in Greater Miami. The Foundation yesterday announced the 70 nonprofits that will share more than $1 million in grants this year for their innovative programs expanding access to opportunities for thousands of Miami-Dade County residents. “There is one common denominator to a firm future – education and literacy. When you immerse kids with literacy and give them that strong foundation, that opens so many doors,” said CARE
Elementary School Principal Christopher Simmonds to a crowd of more than 200 community leaders during The Miami Foundation’s Community Grants reception. “You help sustain us. When students see you support them, they grab onto it and move forward.” Over the past 49 years, more than 100 donors have created funds with The Miami Foundation to support causes they care about, forever. “The foresight of philanthropists who have entrusted their charitable dollars to us guides our Community Grants work,” said Javier Alberto Soto, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “Their generosity enables us to invest in efforts that connect their philanthropic legacies with civic issues

shaping Greater Miami now and in the future.” Other 2016 Community Grants recipients such as Legal Services of Greater Miami help homeless veterans to secure housing. Florida International University Foundation, Inc., and Nova Southeastern University bring residents in low-income areas critical access to primary health and dental care. Miami City Ballet and Miami Music Project offer under-served youth quality arts education. BAN Productions connects communities in need with nutritious foods. The Miami Foundation celebrated this year’s 70 grant recipients and honored donors at its annual Community Grants reception, held at HistoryMiami, a 2016 Community Grants awardee. Principal
Simmonds, of CARE Elementary School, and Marilu Villa, program manager of Mexican-American Council in Homestead, Florida, spoke from their experiences of how funding they received has enabled their organizations to empower youth and families through quality education and mentoring programs. Guitars Over Guns Organization’s student band, another grant recipient, performed. “These organizations provide access to opportunity for thousands of Miamians,” said Soto. “We are privileged to partner with them in helping to build a greater Miami.” Learn more about the Foundation and the Our Miami Report, which informs our work, at miamifoundation.org and ourmiami.org.

Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce Celebrates Community Leadership at Amethyst Gala

Miami was awash in purple when the 15th Annual Gala & Awards Celebration, “The Amethyst Gala,” feted a soldout crowd of nearly 600 guests. Hosted by the Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber Of Commerce (MDGLCC) and presented by Wells Fargo, “The Amethyst Gala” was certainly a night to remember as guests networked, bid on silent auction prizes and partied the night away. Held at the Hilton Downtown Miami, the annual celebration has become a must-attend event for corporate and individual supporters of the Miami-Dade LGBTQ community when MDGLCC recognizes those who have encouraged diversity and improved the quality of life throughout South Florida. “I don’t know how we’re able to outdo ourselves each year, but I believe we were able to exceed our guests’ expectations again this year,” said Steve Adkins, MDGLCC president. “It’s gratifying to see business and community leaders all come out on the same night to support LGBTQ businesses and help the Chamber raise much-needed funding in order to continue expanding services for our membership.” “The Amethyst Gala” kicked off with one of the night’s favorite traditions -- a silent auction again powered by BidPal, which allowed guests to network while monitoring their bids on some amazing prizes. Included among more than 100 items were an autographed Florida Panthers hockey stick; tickets to Adrienne Arsht Center’s Cirque Éloize’s iD, which blends circus arts and urban dance; cruises from Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.; massage packages at the Biltmore Spa; as well as exclusive hotel stays at the Ritz Carlton, Miami Marriott, Four Seasons, and Dream Hotel South Beach among others. During the grand buffet dinner, Gala Chair Marty Davis welcomed the guests before “The Amethyst Gala” paid tribute to four award honorees who were selected for their long-term commitment to fostering diversity, as well
as for their efforts in contributing to the overall quality of life in South Florida. The 2016 honorees were: AT&T Business of the Year Award — HotSpots Media Group; Health Business Person of the Year Award — Damian Pardo; Regions Bank Non-Profit Organization of the Year Award — Jackson Health System; and Morgan Stanley Bob Balsam Civic Achievement Award — Raquel Matas. Following the dinner and awards presentation, guests continued to mingle and socialize during the Moonlight Networking soirée. The Bacardi sponsored bar stayed open until midnight, and since networking was the goal of the evening, the event design promoted crowd flow, affording a comfortable, attractive atmosphere for guests to “Network – Connect – Engage!” “The Amethyst Gala” was the MDGLCC’s principal fundraiser of the year, which helps sustain operations and expand the ever-increasing demand for member programming. Following a tradition set three years ago, the MDGLCC Gala Committee selected a different color of the rainbow flag for the gala’s theme and elevates the status of that color by interpreting it in its gem stone complement. The 2016 “amethyst” theme signifies spirituality, contentment, peace, and healing. MDGLCC is the largest not-for-profit corporation in the county for LGBT businesses. With membership on the rise, the Chamber’s mission is to promote a unified and thriving, gay and gay-friendly, business and professional community throughout Miami-Dade County. Its goals are to promote networking within the existing gay and gay-friendly business and professional community, to promote business opportunities for Chamber members, to promote Miami as a year-round, gay and gay-friendly tourist destination, to provide resources for its members, and to provide outreach from the LGBT community to other organizations.

Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), North Miami Presents Intersectionality
MOCA’s exploration of issues in contemporary art continues with a new exhibition based on a lived experience The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), North Miami will launch its Summer season with the presentation of Intersectionality, a collection of works produced by approximately 50 South Florida artists as well as key artists who are based outside South Florida. The exhibition addresses the multiplicity of social phenomena that intersect the body, including racism, sexism, homophobia and classism. The exhibition will be on display from June 16 to August 14, 2016. The artists’ reception will be held Thursday, June
23, 7-9 pm and is open to the community. The concept of “intersectionality” was developed in the early 1960s when depicting the experiences of African American women who were repeatedly excluded from bourgeois feminist discourse. The term was popularized by the legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 and was predominantly used to illustrate the interconnectedness of oppressive institutions that are unable to be examined separately. “With this exhibition we are highlighting two areas on which MOCA has focused: cuttingedge material and South Florida artists,” MOCA’s Interim Director Natasha Colebrook-Williams
[Photo courtesy of Sue Reddy Silverman]
said. “We are proud to provide a platform for both emerging and established local artists through unique pieces and installations created for this exhibition. Conversely, MOCA is equally proud of the diversity of outlooks it is able to present with support from local artists.” About Museum of Contem-
porary Art North Miami: The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) is dedicated to making contemporary art accessible to diverse audiences — especially underserved populations – through the collection, preservation and exhibition of the best of contemporary art and its art historical
influences. The Museum is located at 770 NE 125th Street, North Miami, FL 33161. It is open Tuesday–Friday from 11 a.m.–5 p.m., Saturday 1–9 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.–5 p.m. (closed Mondays and major holidays). For more information, visit mocanomi.org or call 305-893-6211.
Montreal-Based Circus Troupe Returns to Miami Preview: July • Opening Night: July 8 • Through July 31 Tickets: $49, $69 & $89 Ziff Ballet Opera House – Adrienne Arsht Center
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County is proud to announce the Florida premiere of CIRKOPOLIS, the critically-acclaimed, Drama Desk Award-winning show by Montreal-based circus troupe Cirque Éloize, as its marquee presentation for summer 2016. After two successful runs in 2011 and 2015 with
their high-energy production of iD, artistic director Jeannot Painchaud and his talented cast return to Miami to wow fans with a new spectacle starting July 7 in the Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House. Tickets to CIRKOPOLIS are $49, $69 and $89*. Tickets are available to Arsht Center Members on February 3 and to the general public on Feb-

ruary 8. Tickets may be purchased through the Adrienne Arsht Center Box Office by calling (305) 949-6722, or online at www.arshtcenter.org. Group discounts are available for groups of 10 or more by contacting the group sales department at 786-468-2326 or groupsales@arshtcenter.org. CIRKOPOLIS will play Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 7 p.m., with additional matinee shows on Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. With CIRKOPOLIS, Cirque Éloize takes their breathtaking blend of circus arts, theater, and dance to a highly-stylized metropolitan setting, where 11 acrobats and multidisciplinary artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves and challenge the limits of the factorycity as only they can. Accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, the artists live in a world where fantasy defies reality — the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted and replaced by bursts of color. The show unfolds scene by scene like an elemental uni-
verse, with sculptural imagery: jugglers brave the space, a contortionist is lifted by her companions in a surge of inspiration, and aerial artists defy the height of the skyscrapers. In CIRKOPOLIS, audiences will also experience the dance of the Cyr wheel – admiring the audacity of the German wheel and discovering the candor of a man who dreams only of dancing. “The Arsht Center is proud to work with the Cirque Éloize team for its 9th anniversary season of presenting summer blockbusters. After the incredible success of the company’s productions of iD in summer 2011 and fall 2015, we look forward to showcasing yet another breathtaking experience with the premiere of CIRKOPOLIS,” said Liz Wallace, Arsht Center Vice President of Programming. “Since 2008, more than 200,000 thrill-seeking theatergoers have enjoyed the Center’s summer shows. CIRKOPOLIS, is an opportunity to welcome returning and new fans, and stay true to the Arsht Center’s summer tradition of presenting engaging, highly-visual and non-verbal programming perfect for all audiences.” “CIRKOPOLIS was imagined as a crossroads – between

imagination and reality, between individuality and community, between limits and possibilities. The show is driven by the poetic impulse of life, the physical prowess of the circus and its humor, at once serious and light-hearted. Entering CIRKOPOLIS is all about letting go and allowing yourself to be borne aloft by hope,” explains Cirque Éloize artistic director and CIRKOPOLIS codirector Jeannot Painchaud.

Meet Pete.
The future of cancer care in South Florida came closer to reality today with the arrival of a 220-ton piece of equipment, a proton therapy cyclotron affectionately called ‘Pete,’ at the Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Hospital. When the Miami Cancer Institute’s proton therapy center opens in 2017, patients in the region and across Latin America and the Caribbean no longer will need to travel far from home to access the advanced form of radiation treatment. Proton therapy destroys cancer cells with highly-targeted beams of radiation while avoiding healthy tissue and minimizing side effects. It is particularly effective in treating childhood cancers and adult cancers of the brain, liver and lung, as well as certain left-sided breast cancers and prostate cancers. The photo illustrates the interior of a proton treatment room. [Photo courtesy of Melissa Lichtenheld]

9 Year Old Named Top Girl Scout Cookies Winner Nine year old North Beach Elementary student and Junior Girl Scout of Miami Beach’s Troop 1239 Elizabeth Palma did Miami Beach proud. Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida recently awarded Elizabeth the honor of being the Top Cookie Seller, and not just in Miami Dade, but in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties combined. Elizabeth sold 2660 individual boxes of cookies. During the four-and-a-half-week cookie season Elizabeth diligently worked alongside another Troop 1239 Girl Scout and a parent at the troop’s booth at the Publix at the corner of 68th Street and Collins Avenue. And this was in addition to selling boxes of cookies everywhere she went and to everyone she met. Also honored was the entire Girl Scout Troop 1239 for selling the most cookies in Dade and Monroe counties. The troop of 40+ girls sold 14,660 boxes of cookies. At the Cookie party, Troop
1239 scouts Paloma Baeumler and Cathy Caceres were honored for selling 2000 plus boxes of cookies. The entire Miami Beach troop was also honored for selling the second highest number of boxes for the U.S. Military: 902 boxes of cookies will be delivered around the world to those in active duty. And, the troop sold 90 plus boxes of cookies for the Miami Rescue Mission. “I am so proud of my girls,” said Miami Beach resident and troop leader Marice Cohn Band, “and am so grateful to Publix for opening their hearts to us every year. Ever year, they provide us space at every Miami Beach store to set up our tables and sell cookies. Thank you Publix, we couldn’t do this without you!” Money raised from cookie sales equip Troop 1239 with funds to execute their monthly service projects, like collecting books and donating them to the students of Biscayne Elementary, cooking

400 Honor Teacher For His 60 Years of Teaching More than 400 people — including alumni dating back to the 1950s — gathered to honor legendary teacher Dan Leslie Bowden for his 60th year at Ransom Everglades and 87th birthday. Jeffrey Miller, RE Class of ‘79, emceed the June 4 event, which featured personal and video tributes and a giant birthday cake – and attracted the Miami Herald and WPLG Channel 10. The crowd included former Ransom Everglades Head of School James B. Young (1978-85) and former board chairs Blanche August, Judy Weiser (on behalf of the late Sherwood “Woody” Weiser), Hal Kendall ‘54, Robert Stone, Dick Lampen, Ed Soto, Ghislain Gouraige and Miller. Mr. Bowden greeted nearly all of the attendees personally as they arrived to the Anderson Gymnasium. Many posed for photos. “I don’t feel that it’s so much a matter of
their honoring me, as they figured prominently into my life – for ever and ever and ever,” he told a reporter from Channel 10. “I am rewarded that they remember who I am.” Miller opened the evening’s program with remarks – and accompanying slides – laced with humor and gentle pokes at Mr. Bowden, but he grew more serious as the evening progressed. Andrew Ansin ‘81, Vicki Carbonell Williamson ‘88 and Jon Maksik ‘61 also offered heartfelt reflections on Dan Bowden as a teacher and friend. “Mr. Bowden, you represent everything that is great at Ransom Everglades,” Miller said. “You are a direct link to a rich history, and you’ve built a legacy for this school to rest upon. Your soul and your passion are pillars of Ransom’s future.” Midway through the event, Miller announced that he and his family – ma-

triarch Sue and siblings Stuart Miller ‘75 and Leslie Saiontz Miller ‘77 – would donate the first $1 million to establish The Dan Leslie Bowden Fellowships for the Humanities. The endowment will enable up to 10 juniors annually to pursue summer studies in the arts and humanities outside of South Florida. “I cannot think of any more eloquent way to express my gratitude than the clas-
sic ‘thank you,’” Mr. Bowden said. He drew laughs when he expressed displeasure with one element of the tributes: the recurring accusation that he showed a propensity for long-windedness. “No one that really knows me would tend to think I would go on and on. I am cursed and reviled for my brevity,” he said as the audience roared.

MONTGOMERY BOTANICAL GARDENS: A Hidden Gem in Coral Gables Recently, the Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables hosted its spring fundraiser at a very private 120 acre garden that opens only twice a year to the public—Montgomery Botanical Center—a nonprofit garden established in 1959. A limited number of guests (ladies wearing elegant colorful outfits and gentlemen sporting crisp linen and guayabera shirts) enjoyed a special afternoon surrounded by palms, rare species of cycads, the Ceiba pentandra (common name Kapock). and free roaming peacocks adding color and sound. Champagne and jazz rounded out the idyllic setting. The Garden off of Old Cutler Road is also home to one of the tallest ylang ylang trees in Florida and beyond. Legend has it that Coco Chanel asked perfume-maker Ernest Bo to create the ideal scent for a woman’s perfume. In 1921, he gave her a series of samples to try. She chose the 5th, made up of sweet essences of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang flowers: thus Chanel No.5 was born. Colonel Robert H. Montgomery was one of the found-

ing partners of the accounting firm, Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery—known today as PricewaterhouseCoopers, was a lover of plants. In 1936, he founded Fairchild Tropical Garden. He and his wife, Nell, donated the 83-acre tract of land and funds for developing the plant collections. Upon Robert’s death in 1953, Nell inherited the Coconut Grove Palmetum. Nell wanted to perpetuate her late husband’s name in association with the plant collections and the estate. She created The Montgomery Foundation, Inc., in 1959, as a private, non-profit, operating institution devoted to advancing the
science of tropical botany. In 1998, the name was changed to the Montgomery Botanical Center. VIP patrons arriving at the property were welcomed with a champagne reception and spectacular views of the palmlined skyline. Included in the
VIP experience was a private guided tour of the historic gardens and a brief history of the 1930s property by director Patrick Griffith. All guests delighted in fresh, made-to-order crepes al fresco and spectacular sunset vistas while listening to classic jazz repertoire with
a youthful twist led by Sam Hart—a jazz alto saxophone player and YoungArts finalist attending the University of Miami as a Stamps Scholar. The annual fundraiser also included a small silent auction with original artworks, books, and even a pet gift basket. Proceeds benefit historic resources and their preservation in Coral Gables and beyond. Established in 1991, the Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables (HPACG) is a 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to promote the understanding and importance of historic resources and their preservation.
