Bringing Art Alleviating Land Congestion to Miracle Mile WATER TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES
Showcasing the Spirit of Coral Gables
with Aquatic Transportation By: Chris Carson Chris@INYBN.com
South Florida residents live in a region plagued by traffic congestion that is the fifth and tenth worst in the nation and world, respectively. In view of the daily aggravation that long commutes pose to locals, authorities are constantly searching for ways to alleviate some of the excess traffic that occurs on the over-crowded roadways. Irene Hegedus, Chief of Transportation Enhancements for Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works, believes that turning to the water can ease some of the pressure that is building up on land. “Waterborne transportation has the potential for reducing congestion, reducing commuting times, and providing for a more relaxing travel experi-

The City Beautiful is embellishing its main street and wants your help. Since last fall, the Art Advisory Panel has begun the undertaking of Bringing Art to Miracle Mile. The plan is to work in conjunction with the Miracle Mile Streetscape Project and incorporate their work with artwork that is rep-

We have great esteem for not only the professionals involved, but the residents of Coral Gables,” remarked Arts and Culture Specialist, Catherine Cathers.

ence,” stated Hegedus. One of the most notable instances Hegedus cites as an example of the benefit of increasing water transportation happened last year during the 2016 Miami International Boat Show. She recalled that those involved in organizing the Boat Show went to great lengths to coordinate parking facilities and guests’ connectivity to shuttle and bus routes, leading
visitors directly and quickly to the show. However, much to their surprise, there were hundreds of people willing to wait in lines to take a water taxi across the Biscayne Bay despite having alternative methods of transportation. And yet, it goes without saying that one of the greatest assets of the region is water. Many local experts are perContinued on page 9

Knight once owned newspapers. Their aim was to foster informed and engaged communities, which they believed is essential for a healthy society. Although their newspapers were sold long ago, the passion that fueled the creation of the Knight Foundation lives on through impactful community engagement programs such as the Knight Arts Challenge. The Challenge began in Miami 10 years ago and has spread to Akron, St. Paul, and Detroit. “The Knight brothers believed strongly in community and that through the arts, we are connected to one another

Arts create empathy and understanding and perhaps most importantly - community,” observed Rogers. “The cultural diversity found throughout South Florida provides a tremendous opportunity to experience different
worlds right outside our front doors,” underscored Rogers. The Knight Arts Challenge uncovers truly unique ideas within and for our communities. “Art opens conversations,” continued Rogers, “creating art, learning to understand art, how to view art – gives us critical thinking skills, just one of the many benefits that come from the arts. And we can’t forget the pure joy of encountering a great piece of art whether it is music, dance, visual arts, or theater; these are the kinds of things and more the Knight Arts Challenge funds. It just has to be a great idea!” “Over the last 10 years, we have read over 11,000 applications, selected 337 winners, given away almost $30 million in grants for art projects in Miami. I marvel at how fresh, new and exciting ideas keep coming in year after year,” pointed out Rogers. “Winners are individuals, collectives, and sometimes it’s for a profit business. However, 51% of the past grantees have been non-profits. We really look for the very best idea, regardless of its source.”

with Miami locals, providing Brickell residents and visitors from around the world with the best of Italian cuisine and hospitality.” Giustiniani, a native of Italy, has wine culture in his blood. During his formal education at Universita di Firenze, he spent time overseeing and learning his family’s winery in Tuscany, which includes 47 acres of vineyards located in the renowned wine region of Colline Lucchesi. Hand-in-hand with Giustiniani is Matthias Kiehm, who has more than 25 years of experience in the hospitality business. Matthias spent a majority of his career in worldwide directorial and managerial roles with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

siders when determining which artists to select: conducting an open call, making a direct selection, or proposing a limited competition. For this project, they chose to develop a prequalified roster and have a direct selection from that list. “Working with the Cultural Development Board, we drew from a pool of artists and sent out requests for qualifications, including basic information, CVs, cover letters, samples, but most of all, a letter of interest to gauge commitment and initial thoughts about the project,

working with the city and community,” said Cathers. From these criteria, three candidates stood above the rest. On October 25th of 2016, the advisory panel held a meeting for the community to meet the three finalists for the project- artists Ball-Nogues Studio (Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues), David Brooks, and Meejin Yoon. On that day, the artists also met with members of the Streetscape design team, the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, and members of the Business Improvement District. The intent was for the artists to become better acquainted with the community of Coral Gables by meeting residents and touring the City; it was also an opportunity for

residents to ask the artists questions and learn about how their style will enhance the city. “It was all about conceptual feedback and gaining knowledge about each other. We wanted to form a vision of how the project will advance into the future. The next opportunity for public input will be following the artists’ draft concept,” Cathers commented. Currently, the project is seeking additional feedback from residents. There is a community survey with four questions intended to help shape
the direction of Bringing Art to Miracle Mile. The aim is to capture the ways that Coral Gables citizens view Miracle Mile and the hope that future generations will interpret the artwork’s meaning. “These questions are really designed to define the Spirit of the project and help guide the artists as they use their talents. This particular project is all about how people use Miracle Mile,” stated Cathers. A wide and diverse range of locals, from those looking to be active, shop, and dine, to those simply wanting to socialize, frequent the popular Miracle Mile. Ascertainment of the social fabric of the Mile’s visitors will help determine the artwork that
is created to represent it. All of these elements will dictate the final conception of the artwork. “The artists are well-versed in connecting places with people. But they are also are looking to create unique pieces for different spaces along Miracle Mile. We are hoping that, at least in the initial phase, we are getting the personal connection to help the artists,” added Cathers. And that ultimately defines what Bringing Art to Miracle Mile will be: an assessment and representation of Coral Gables’
diversity through artistic interpretation. It will be a collection of artwork that current and future generations will be proud of. Most of all, the Art at Miracle Mile will be a collection of what is important to Gables residents and will be for them.

suaded that a natural transportation corridor is already in place; and they have felt this way for some time. Dating back to 2004, the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization drafted a document titled “Development of a Service Plan for Waterborne Transportation Service in Miami-Dade County.” In this plan, the MPO identified existing routes that would be implemented after a demonstration project proves successful. “From a t r a n spor t at ion perspective, we can provide choices. When we provide better connectivity and can reduce travel times by traveling on water (which offers many benefits), we are improving the quality of life or our residents and visitors. We are improving mobility,” noted Hegedus. The Plan is focused on de-
congesting roads and reducing commuting times for residents. As most residents know, the most critical relief is needed during peak traffic hours, and the plan addresses that problem. During non-peak hours, the water vessels could expand their routes to other docking facilities for more versatile use.
Many prefer water travel. [Photo courtesy of Joseph Barriente]
“Our vision is to be able to have a high frequency of service during rush-hour traffic and lesser frequency in between those times,” confirmed Hegedus. The proposals raise some potential issues, among them, the need to differentiate between the commuter and the on-demand service- a critical component to running an organized system. The commuter service will be viewed as an extension of the Metrobus, Metrorail, and Metromover services and will have fixed routes and schedules. Adverse outcomes are less likely with this type of service. “A route that is fixed with a fixed schedule allows us to know the number and types of vessels necessary to implement the service. The routes are planned using existing channels and follow the restrictions along manatee and

sea grass protection areas,” explained Hegedus. If Miami-Dade County decides to move forward with a demonstration project, data will be collected during this period in order to evaluate the impact of the service on
Biscayne Bay, as required by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. A large reason for this is that Biscayne Bay has limitations. During a meeting with the U.S. Coast Guard, it was noted that the Bay is one of the shallowest basins in the nation. “There is also infrastructure such as bridges and control structures that provide for tight clearance parameters for maneuverability,” commented Hegedus. All of these items affect the way people use the Bay for transportation purposes. Nevertheless, through proper planning and execution, DTPW is optimistic that waterborne services will improve many issues associated with landbased traffic. “When bringing all of these factors together, it provides a framework for which to build upon,” concluded Hegedus.

Alfred Hitchcock appears somewhere in this movie, or at least, he should have. Elle, a French film about power, relationships and twisted desires, is set in grey.

The film, with its precise editing and unforgiving cinematography, is ideally suited to be the subject of a script writing class.

The Miami Foundation’s Public Space Challenge Invests to Make the Best Ideas a Reality In an effort to meet the ever-increasing demand for accessible parks, greenways and public spaces, The Miami Foundation has opened the 2017 Public Space Challenge, a contest for ideas that create, improve or activate local gathering places like parks, playgrounds, sidewalks, basketball courts and plazas in Greater Miami. Now in its fifth year, the Foundation invests $305,000 to make the top ideas a reality; Challenge partner Target will support winning ideas that promote healthy eating and active play. Anyone can submit an idea – individuals, groups, public agencies, nonprofits or private companies – at ideas.ourmiami.org from March 7th through April 6th. “Over the past four years, this community has rallied around major park and trail projects like The Underline, Ludlam Trail and Plan Z for Miami. The Public Space Challenge has helped drive that energy,” said Javier Alberto Soto, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “The Foundation’s 50th anniversary year is about fostering the hundreds of ways residents can take ownership of their community and
shape the kinds of neighborhoods and local places they want in their hometown. The Challenge puts that power in the hands of every Miamian from South Dade to Aventura.” The Public Space Challenge has funded activations and permanent projects across the county, including Homestead, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, the Biscayne Boulevard corridor, Wynwood and West Kendall. The contest has garnered more than 1,400 submissions and over $870,000 has been invested in winning ideas since the Challenge launched in 2013. This year, The Miami Foundation is also working with the Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department to connect Chal-

lenge ideas to the Open Space Master Plan. The comprehensive, 50-year vision looks to create a seamless, interconnected and sustainable system of parks, public gathering places, trails, waterways, greenways and streets throughout the county. The Foundation invites applicants to review the plan, and think about how their 2017 ideas fit within it. “At the Foundation, we’re pushing to get a great park within walking distance of every Miamian,” said Stuart Kennedy, director of program strategy and innovation. “Bringing the Open Space Master Plan to fruition is a big
step toward achieving that goal. We hope the Challenge adds momentum to the effort so we can have a greener, more connected Greater Miami for generations to come.” To help Challenge participants with planning, submitting and executing their projects, The Miami Foundation will host a series of public workshops with Urban Impact Lab and Design Thinking Miami. A schedule, which includes webinars and workshops held throughout March and April, is available on the idea submission site. For more information and to submit an idea, visit ideas.ourmiami.org.

Lions Club Raises Funds Third Annual Waterway for Colombian Girl’s Soirée, Fort Lauderdale’s Retinal Cancer Treatment Key Biscayne Lions were instrumental in securing donations. Six-year-old Samantha is cancer free, thanks to the generosity of Lions Clubs that helped fund her treatment.

Samantha Sanchez was born January 24, 2011 in Bogota, Colombia. When she was 3 years old, her parents noticed that when she saw light, her left eye had a reflection similar to the eyes of a cat. The pupil appeared white when light was shone into her eye. Samantha’s parents decided to take her to a doctor, who diagnosed her with retinal cancer. The doctors told Samantha’s parents that the only treatment was to operate on the tumor and remove the eye. They consulted several specialists for second opinions, but all of them agreed with the original prognosis. Desperate, they went to a hospital in Medellin, where doctors decided they could treat Samantha with a successful experimental therapy, caus-
ing the tumor to become calcified. Samantha had to return to Medellin every three months for a checkup, and recently doctors discovered they couldn’t see how the tumor was reacting due to a hemorrhage. Samantha was referred to the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami to continue treatment. The Miami Global Colombian Lions Club initiated a search to obtain the funds necessary, and together with A.D.F., Lion Mike Murphy joined a campaign to gather the necessary funds to pay for the treatment at Bascom Palmer. In the end, Key Biscayne was instrumental in securing the necessary funding needed for Samantha to continue her treatment and, ultimately, celebrate the news that she is cancer free.

Chopin Salon Concert Features Pianist Marek Drewnowski from Poland The Chopin Salon Series presents a piano recital by Marek Drewnowski, an internationally acclaimed pianist and a highly respected piano teacher from Poland. Marek Drewnowski studied piano at the Warsaw Academy of Music with Ryszard Bakst and Zbigniew Drzewiecki, and later in Krakow with Jan Hoffman. His fi rst noticeable success, both within Poland and abroad, came with his recording of the 12 Piano Sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, issued in 1975. After listening to this recording, Leonard Bernstein invited Mr. Drewnowski to perform with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He went on to play concerts in some of the most splendid and famous concert halls in Europe, the United States and Japan. In September 1989 Mr. Drewnowski, alongside world-famous artists such as Leonard Bernstein, Barbara Hendricks, Herman Prey and Liv Ulman, participated in the performance of a solemn concert marking the occasion of the 50th anniversary of World War II. The entire event was broadcast by television stations throughout the world. His recordings include Domenico Scarlatti’s Sonatas, the Piano Concertos of C.M. von Weber released by FREQUENZ, ARTE, a series of records with TONPRESS, and of Chopin music and piano concertos in

Known for his arresting photographs of Birmingham, AL and Harlem, NY in the 1960s and 70s, artist Dawoud Bey will speak about his latest projects at the Lowe on March 30 at 7 pm. A reception will follow his talk, which is a part of the Museum’s Arnold and Augusta Newman Lecture Series in Photography. Born in New York City, Dawoud Bey began his career in 1975 with a series of photographs entitled “Harlem, USA,” which was featured in Bey’s first solo exhibition at Harlem’s Studio Museum four years later. His most recent works include “The Birmingham Project,” which poignantly depicts the tragic events of the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham; and “Harlem Redux,” which highlights how the Harlem community is being reshaped through gentrification with its atten-
dant displacement of memory and sense of place. Bey’s works have been exhibited worldwide at institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Barbican Centre in London, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. The Arnold and Augusta Newman Lecture Series in Photography brings distinguished and compelling artists to the Lowe twice yearly to share their experiences, vision, techniques, and photos with South Florida audiences. It is generously supported by the Arnold and Augusta Newman Foundation. For more details, visit lowemuseum.org.

Miami Theater Center (MTC) is proud to announce – back by popular demand – The Legend of the Pink Elephant by Luckner Bruno, Jr. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy this theatrical sensation as it graces our stage once more. Uplifting music, stilt breakdancing, extreme acrobatics, giant puppetry, and aerial artistry combine to tell the big tale of a little elephant that was born different. Fun for the whole family, this magical, multi-generational theatrical performance confronts the contemporary scourge of bullying, and shares a wonderful message about selfconfidence and courage — perfect for audiences of all ages. Set in the African Congo, a baby elephant is born pink – unlike the rest of the herd. Bullied and forced out of the pack, he finds himself exiled and alone. Lost deep in the jungle, the little pink elephant encounters other vibrant, colorful creatures that appreciate his different hue. Encouraged by his new friends to embrace his individuality, the little pink elephant confidently makes his way back home. “This show is for anyone who has ever been made to feel like they don’t fit in

Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science Scheduled to Open in May The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science is scheduled to open its doors to the public on Monday, May 8, 2017 at its new home in Downtown Miami’s Museum Park. Designed by Grimshaw Architects, the 250,000 square foot facility combines a planetarium, aquarium and science museum on one campus, furthering Miami-Dade County’s vision of Miami as a major cultural hub with one of the most sophisticated science and technology museums in the
physics of flight, light and lasers, the biology of the human body and mind, and much more. It’s one of the few museums to house a planetarium, aquarium and science museum on one dynamic campus. Guests can explore the world of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in an experiential setting with interactive exhibitions and unique shows. The following is a brief description of the unique exhibitions featured at Frost Science:

nation. The museum is currently putting finishing touches on the building and exhibitions while simultaneously preparing for the arrival of its new residents—fish, birds and reptiles. “Thanks to the hard work of our Board of Trustees, project team and the museum staff, we are now almost ready to open our doors and look forward to welcoming the public on May 8,” said Frank Steslow, Frost Science President. “The technology, engineering and sustainability features found throughout the museum rival those on a global stage and will inspire and motivate generations to come. We thank the people of Miami-Dade County for their continued support in this project and are certain that they will be proud of their community’s new science museum. With the support of Mayor Carlos Gimenez, Miami-Dade County, the Board of County Commissioners, City of Miami and our many private donors, we are now at the finish line. Our goal is that Frost Science will be an international destination and vibrant educational space that encourages curiosity and investigation.” Frost Science is a leading science museum dedicated to sharing the power of science, sparking wonder and investigation, and fueling innovation for the future. The museum is divided into four buildings, the Frost Planetarium, Aquarium, and North and West Wings, where guests can learn about the core science behind living systems, the solar system and known universe, the
• Frost Planetarium — One of only thirteen 3-D 8K-projection planetariums in the world, the cutting edge, 250 seat planetarium will take visitors on virtual journeys that both thrill and educate. The ultrareal immersive experience is the result of a 16 million color visual system using six projectors and surround sound inside the 67-foot dome. • Aquar ium — From Gulf Stream sharks to tiny organisms found within coral, the three level Aquarium is a trip through the beautiful water habitats of South Florida while exploring marine biology and more. Guests will begin their journey on the ‘Vista’ level where they will marvel at fish and touch a stingray. Then, they’ll descend to the ‘Dive’ and ‘Deep’ levels for interactive learning stations and fantastic underwater views, including a one of a kind, 31-foot-wide oculus lens and viewing portal into the Gulf Stream Aquarium habitat. • Feathers to the Stars – Visi-
tors are invited to follow the astounding story of flight— from feathered dinosaurs to the future of space travel—in an interactive space as they learn about the biology and evolution of flight, aerospace engineering, astronomy and physics. They’ll come face to face with a 30-foot feathered dinosaur; meet the daredevil inventors who pioneered human aviation; they’ll build and launch their own air rockets; and they’ll try on wing sleeves in a wind tunnel and more. • River of Grass — The wet, wild and mysterious River of Grass takes young explorers inside one of the most precious ecosystems on the planet—the Everglades. The experience carries guests through two spaces: a hands-on outdoor area, and an indoor virtual Everglades where digital animals frolic and interact, communicating a fun storyline of biodiversity, hydrology and environmental science. • LASERsHOW: Light, Color and Geometry — Learn about the physics of light while surrounded by the beauty of an immersive laser show. Launching in the museum’s largest gallery, LASERsHOW: Lights, Color and Geometry brings visitors on an immersive experience of the wonders of lasers and light itself. • MeLaß – Visitors can challenge their brain, stop a virus, dance or just chill out as part of the MeLaß experience, which explores behavioral science and neuroscience research, medical technology and public health. They’ll explore the amazing ways that their body and mind interact, and how their daily choices can impact how both entities work together. • Solar and Lunar Rooftop Terraces — The museum’s living rooftop terraces give visitors access to the power of the elements—sun, wind and rain—while collecting data that helps identify patterns in

the natural systems around us. • Learning Center — A home base for the museum’s educational programs—including youth and professional development, family engagement, innovative technologies and learning research—the Learning Center features a suite of four classrooms. Visitors will engage with STEM programming and the Inventors-in-Residence, a residency program for scientists developing innovative solutions in the health and environmental sectors. • Other highlights include multiple special exhibitions, an expansive main atrium, flexible programming spaces, and a café and retail store. “Frost Science is the next important accomplishment in the County’s vision that our major cultural institutions will be in one central area in Downtown Miami. This world class science museum is next door to the Pérez Art Museum Miami, walking distance to the Adrienne Arsht Center, and across the Causeway from Miami Children’s Museum,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. “Together, this constellation of cultural institutions provides our community with one of the most dynamic and diverse sets of cultural attractions anywhere. “ “Frost Science is a testimony to so many who gave their passion and dedication to making this a reality. We are incredibly thankful to our donors as well as
our past and present board members for their tireless commitment and energy over the years in getting us to this day. We would also like to recognize our former board co-chairs, Trish and Dan Bell, for their visionary leadership,” said Cesar L. Alvarez, Chairman, Frost Science Executive Committee. “Of course, none of this would be possible without the financial support and governance of Phillip and Patricia Frost. It is because of their generosity that the museum will be a place where our community can learn about 21st century science and technology in an era where science and technology is defining all that we do.” Frost Science is also launching a mobile app that will be available for download on IOS and Android devices. Visitors will be able to enhance their museum experience by participating in interactive scavenger hunts across the campus and earn digital badges. The app will also unlock curated exhibit content, including science stories, audio and video clips, research and more. Using the latest iBeacon technology, visitors can also access descriptive audio of selected tactile exhibits, locate themselves on the map and many other additional features. Registration is also currently available for many 2017 museum programs including birthday parties, field trips, summer camp and more. Hours: Frost Science will be operating 365 days a year from 9 AM – 6 PM daily. Please check frostscience.org for special holidays, extended hours and unexpected closings. Tickets: Admission tickets are available online and include access to all museum exhibitions and one Frost Planetarium show. Location: The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science is located at 1101 Biscayne Blvd Miami, FL 33132. For more information, please visit frostscience.org or call (305) 434-9600.

INDIVIDUAL ENERGY HEALING SESSIONS WITH PAULA PETRY, PHD Dr. Paula Petry, PhD combines her life experiences with her formal training in energy medicine, education, psychology, and the healing arts to help individuals optimizes their health and well-being. She offers individual energy medicine sessions and workshops, as well as individual somatic therapy & coaching lessons to reduce stress, depression, anxiety and internal conflicts. In an initial energy medicine session, Dr. Petry first completes a standard intake process with you. This flows into a conversation about your expectations for the session(s) and in general what motivated you to seek assistance. Dr. Petry explains the general process, and you are given the opportunity to ask questions. Dr. Petry then begins an informal chat to help you identify the underlying emotional triggers that are diminishing your level of joyfulness and satisfaction with life. Early memories are identified that are connected to the emotional triggers. As your memories are activated, you identify where that emotion lives in the body, where you feel it, e.g., heart, stomach, head. If you have a generalized anxiety, you may feel it everywhere. The purpose of this process is to create an awareness of the emotional/ behavioral pattern and to activate the negative/heavy energy in the body so it can be released through the healing process. NOTE: During non-local healings which are conducted over the phone or Skype, you can be lying down or sitting in a chair, while Dr. Petry, applying the principles of quantum physics, clears your biofield. You will then lie in a supine position on a massage table and further relax by visualizing a healing energy entering your body with each breath. Dr. Petry calls upon her and your spirit guides. She begins to enter non-ordinary time which facilitates her ability to ‘see’ your biofield and remove non-beneficial energies. Through the power of intention and spiritual assistance, heavy energies are lifted from the body through the chakra portals. This part of the session can take from 20 to 60 minutes. Rhythmic sounds and scents help in the process. Generally speaking, anyone can benefit from energy medicine sessions. There Sessions are 1.5 to 2 hours in length. is no typical client.
