Miami Open Hits The Key; New Stadium Construction Still in Question “If you build it, they will come.”

— (smash ‘80s film hit Field of Dreams) By: Liz Kobak | Liz@INYBN.com And this is exactly what organizers of the Miami Open are looking to do. But while the “fifth Grand Slam” - as the athletic world dubs it - is taking over Key Biscayne’s Crandon Park again this spring, it could potentially suffer a move from Miami and never come back.

As recently reported back in December, the tournament is most likely to leave the island sooner rather than later due to a variety of factors, including a loss of at-

traction from fans despite record-breaking prize money offerings this year ($13.89 million in all; $1.028 for each singles winner). However, a primary point of contention has been the disapproval of building additional facilities for the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 and WTA Premier Mandatory tournaments that have, since 1985, taken over Crandon Park for two weeks.

Miami Open representatives claim they are doing everything in their power to boost the tournament’s prestige exContinued on page 9

The Miami Open takes place March 21 through April 3. The singles prize money has increased by $100,000 for the men’s and women’s divisions, totaling $1.03 million per tournament winner and $13 million overall. Tournament organizers are pushing for a revamp of the main stadium and construction of smaller ones. [Photo credit: Jeffrey Montes]

Frances Ríos: El Éxito es de todos y hay que compartirlo Experta en comunicaciones, motivadora y conferencista, lejos de ser feminista se dedica a empoderar mujeres para que alcancen los mismos puestos que los hombres.

Como lo dice ella misma: “Total, todos somos iguales.”

Por: Minin Arevalo Parodi Minin@INYBN.com

La energía de Frances es contagiosa. La cadencia de su acento puertorriqueño se queda pegado como una buena canción de salsa y poco a poco sus interlocutoras se van convenciendo de cada una de las palabras que dice. Con ella todo parece muy fácil si eres una mujer. Y lo mejor, es que es verdad. Es muy fácil ocupar los mismos cargos y posiciones en el mundo empresarial que las personas del sexo opuesto. Solo hay un detalle a tener en cuenta: “se débe identificar la cúpula que se quiere alcanzar y con ese objetivo en mente, lanzarse al ruedo sin mirar ni atrás ni a los lados”, dice.

Frances Ríos es lo que se llama hoy en día una “womanpreneur” es decir, una mujer emprendedora con una pasión clara y consisa: causar impacto positivo en las más altas esferas cor-

porativas y no solo ocupar ella esas posiciones, sino lograr que otras pares también lo logren. A personas como ella, le molesta, por la injusticia, que solo 5% del total de CEO’s de las empresas que están en la lista de Fortune 500 sean mujeres.

“Pero esto es un tema de viene desde la crianza, dice Frances en franca conversación. “Desde pequeñas a los varones los mandan a la calle a conquistar el mundo, a darse puños si es preciso para alcanzar sus metas, mientras que a las hembras nos dejan encerradas en la casa hasta bien entradas en la vida. Nos enseñan a jugar a la cocinita, con muñecas, en fin. No nos preparan sino para ser amas de casa, no empresarias y menos aún, directoras de empresas”. Lo peor del caso es que según estudios de firmas tan serias como la gente de CNN Dinero, el panorama parece que no está en vías de cambio. Al menos

Ante la pregunta de hacia dónde va este tema, porque si en un futuro cercano no se ven cambios en el horizonte, qué se puede esperar de generaciones venideras, Frances responde de manera rotunda: “en la actulidad, los niños y las niñas no se ven como mejores o peores unos que otros. Se ven y actúan como pares con capacidades idénticas y entienden que las personas no deben verse por género sino por resultados.

El problema no está en las generaciones que se están levantando, sino en lo que el mundo corporativo con sus viejas prácticas haga de ellos.

THE CH A M PI O N ’S B E N CH

Analyzing business under athletic standards By: Pau Casals | Pau@INYBN.com It can reasonably be said that finding successful athletes or coaches who lack a genuine appreciation for their field is quite a rarity. They are generally devoted to their sport, and their lives tend to revolve around the latter.

Their occupation can more accurately be described as a “passion” rather than work, one that is not innate but rather developed during long journeys involving effort, sacrifices, and tears.

In the business world, some of us often aspire to become wealthy corporate executives simply because of their net worth — a notion and ambition I find raises a bone of contention. We are merely focusing on the tip of the iceberg, where that aforementioned passion is the one keeping that iceberg afloat. Instead, we should be paying more attention on what their jobs consist of and what brought them to where they are. Most probably, they had been terminated at some point in their lives or had undergone other deceptions.

Nevertheless, their passion and com-

more visible and more attainable via the appropriate approaches: One of the key elements is devising a plan with specific targets. Know your objective and anticipate any obstacle that a new product, business or image will bring to the table. For instance, you can predict in a period of economic hardship a possible decline in sales; however, you need to have a plan for such crises, which would include target sales, strategies for minimization of expenses, or financial aid plans.

“With this major renovation/ improvement project scheduled to break ground this year, the Coral Gables Museum decided that now was the right time to present an exhibit that examines the history and future of Coral Gables’ main street, Miracle Mile,” explains the museum’s Interim Director, Carolina Parker.

The inspiration behind this unique topic of history? The residents of Coral Gables themselves, particularly those who attend the Downtown Walking Tours offered by the museum every Saturday morning at 11 am.

“During these history and architecture tours, long-time residents have eagerly shared with our museum docents their memories of the Mile – what used to be where, their favorite places to shop and dine, how things have changed, etc.. And surely, things have changed and are changing for the better every day,” Parker continued.

Actors’ Playhouse Presents Broadway Musical Sondheim on Sondheim Actors’ Playhouse is proud to present Sondheim on Sondheim, an intimate multimedia portrait of musical icon Stephen Sondheim in his own words and music.

This South Florida premiere of James Lapine’s award-winning Broadway hit will play March 16 – April 3 at the Miracle Theatre.

Writing songs that reflect the complexity of his characters, Sondheim changed the way we define a great musical. Yet even though millions of fans know his songs by heart, few know much about Sondheim himself. Until now. Originally conceived as a tribute for Sondheim’s 80th birthday party, Sondheim on Sondheim is a love letter from Lapine to his friend and frequent collaborator. Exclusive video footage, in which Sondheim offers an inside look at his personal life and artistic process, is combined with sparkling-new arrangements of over two dozen Sondheim tunes brought to life by eight stellar singers and a live, onstage chamber orchestra.

Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as the most important composer and lyricist of musical theater in the second half of the 20th century. He is the winner of an Academy Award and eight Tony Awards (more than any other composer) including the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, as well eight Grammy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize and the Laurence Olivier Award. His best-known works as a composer and lyricist include A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods and Assassins, and he wrote the lyrics for West Side Story and Gypsy.

Directed by the award-winning David Arisco and Musically Directed by David Nagy, the cast of Sondheim on Sondheim includes Actors’ Playhouse veterans Lourelene Snedeker (Carbonell Award recipient: Beauty & the Beast and White Christmas), Wayne LeGette (The

Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge, Spamalot, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change), Margot Moreland (Carbonell Award recipient: Heartbeats, Tomfoolery, Annie) and Christopher A. Kent (Aida, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Last Five Years).

Returning favorites include Don Juan Seward II (Carbonell Award nomination: Ragtime), Lindsey Corey (The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge, Spamalot) and Marilyn Caserta (West Side Story.) Alexander Zenoz is making his Mainstage debut in this production.

Preview performances will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, March 16 and 17 at 8 p.m. The show will open on Friday, March 18 at 8 p.m. and play through April 3, 2016. Evening performances will be held Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with afternoon matinees on Sunday at 3 p.m. A special weekday matinee is scheduled on Wednesday, March 23 at 2 p.m.

Preview night tickets on the first Wednesday and Thursday are $37. Tickets for weeknights and matinees are $52, and on Friday and Saturday evenings $59. The theatre offers a 10 percent senior discount rate the day of performance and $15 student rush tickets 15 minutes prior to curtain with identification. Group discounted rates are offered for 15 or more through our group sales department. Single tickets may be purchased through the box office at 305-444-9293 or online at www.actorsplayhouse.org.

THE CH A M PI O N ’S B EN CH

In-School Opera Program Celebrates 40th Season On Saturday, February 27th, the Young Patronesses of the Opera (YPO) performed the children’s opera, Cinderella,

by Seymour Barab, to close to 200 children and parents at the Actors Playhouse on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. YPO was thrilled to be a part of the theater’s “KidsFest” event, which gave children in the community a chance to see multiple theater productions, interact with cast members, and do activities through out the day. Before the show began, the children had a chance to color characters from Cinderella. The In-School Opera’s Executive Producer, Julie Todaro introduced the show and shared with the audience that there are over 300 versions of the story and the moral is that “everyone is special” (which is the name of the final song of the show). The children were memorized with the singers on stage, and especially loved the “Dove” character (who takes the place of the Fairy Godmother in this version). Afterwards, the performers answered questions from the audience and followed up with a presentation of an anniversary cake and cookies for all. The children were given an YPO volunteer women holding “Opera Funtime” booklets of Cinderella at the 40th anniversary performance.

Images of America: Key Biscayne Reveals the Interconnectedness of Human History & Natural History Continued from page 1

Author Kristin Hines [Photo courtesy of Kristin Hines]

Despite living in the city, her family entertained themselves by camping, hiking, swimming, and spending time in nature. They did not have a television; so, their attention was devoted to the great outdoors. Her parents and brother always took time to appreciate plants and animals, and she and her brother climbed trees and played outside, making Hines no stranger to the dichotomous relationship between urban sprawl and the vulnerability of the natural environment.

“We split our time between the suffocating scene [in the city] and an emerald oasis in the neighboring province of Cavite. Our home in Cavite wasn’t exactly forested, but there were acres of green space to explore,” shared Hines.

The Images of America project, said Hines, reminded her of the interconnectedness of natural and human histories — something that is abundantly apparent on Key Biscayne, a barrier island that, despite its growing population, remains two-thirds green space.

While the Images of America series is celebrated for its heavy emphasis on photographs and images, it contains important and specific tidbits of infor-

re-green South Florida through wildlife gardening, with the mission of making a larger impact in the region.

She also co-authored “Natives for Your Neighborhood,” an online resource created by the Institute for Regional Conservation that allows South Floridians to search for plants native to their specific zip code.

With her projects, Hines strives to draw connections between human history and natural history, aiming to highlight the exquisite nature that exists within the urban boundary.

“The idea for Images of America: Key Biscayne actually came out of a larger natural history book project that my co-author and I were working on,” said Hines. “Our storyline was getting complicated, and we thought we’d simplify things by separating out the human history.”

And while the Key Biscayne book does focus specifically on the human hisThe Reddish Egret pictured is preening its plumes in tory of the island through the shadow [Photo courtesy of Kristin Hines] photographs, the area’s lush, tropical climate and associated flora mation for history buffs, tourists, and and fauna are an integral part of what nostalgic long-term residents alike. the book reveals about how the island “Finding old photos is very different became what it is today. than taking your own, but it allowed Hines’ own personal history curated me to study composition and storyher deep love of nature and focus on telling through imagery more deeply,” conservation. indicated Hines about fulfilling the Im“I learned the importance of conser- ages of America format. “We had an vation at a young age when my family overabundance of good pictures and moved to the Philippines,” noted Hines. tales to tell, but strict format require“Manila was the second largest city in ments forced us to cull harshly.

“One of my most gratifying experiences was tracking a painting of Brother Francisco Villareal to a 1935 mural in the cafeteria at the St. Patrick Catholic Church School in Miami Beach after a very prolonged and circuitous quest,” she said, also citing personal stories she picked up along the way.

The Miami Foundation’s Public Space Challenge Offering $305,000 To Top Ideas AS MIAMI-DADE RESIDENTS CLAMOR FOR MORE PUBLIC SPACES, ANNUAL CHALLENGE LAUNCHES TO FUND THEIR IDEAS

fter nine months of closure due to construction, hundreds of local bikers, joggers and walkers celebrated the reopening of the Venetian Causeway this month with a sunset ride/ jog to Miami Beach. The staggering turnout for the event proved that the bridge was more than a transport for cars across Biscayne Bay, but an important public space for residents to connect and enjoy the outdoors. Even as Downtown Miami’s skyline undergoes exponential growth — including scores of new condo towers under construction — the clamor for open public spaces continues to get louder. Growing support for major linear parks like The Underline and Ludlam Trail, and for the proposed Plan Z overhaul of Rickenbacker Causeway, prove local residents value public gathering spaces and want easy access to them throughout Miami-Dade County.

In effort to respond to that call, for the fourth year in a row, The Miami Foundation is launching the 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. The Foundation invests $305,000 to make the top ideas a reality. Health Foundation of South Florida will support winning ideas increasing access to fresh food and healthy lifestyles; the Office of Miami-Dade County Commissioner Juan C. Zapata will support ideas in West End. Anyone can submit and idea – individuals, groups, public agencies, nonprofits, private companies – at ideas. ourmiami.org from March 15th through April 21st.

“The success of Greater Miami’s exponential growth depends on our ability to

develop and enhance the spaces that keep us connected as a community,” said Javier Alberto Soto, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “Residents strongly supported our advocacy push to help increase the county and city parks budgets last year.

That energy, plus excitement around catalytic parks like Underline and Ludlam Trail, prove that this community is fervently demanding activated, safe and beautiful open gathering places. The Challenge puts the power in residents’ hands to create these important spaces themselves.” More than 1,000 ideas have been submitted and over $500,000 invested in winning ideas since the Challenge’s inception.

“This is a movement toward creating a county bursting with great public spaces – a county where every Miamian is a 10-minute walk from an urban retreat to share with their friends and neighbors,” said Stuart Kennedy, director of program strategy and innovation. “This year, we want to cast an even wider net, so we’re encouraging creativity to reimagine what local public spaces can be.”

To help Challenge participants with the planning, writing, and execution of their projects, The Miami Foundation will host a series of public workshops with Urban Impact Lab and Design Thinking Miami.

A training schedule, which includes webinars and workshops held throughout March and April, is available at ourmiami.org/challenge.

For more information and to submit an idea, visit ideas.ourmiami.org.

FAIRCHILD GARDEN UNVEILS STEMLAB MOBILE TISSUE LAB IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS On Friday, March 11, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden unveiled its new STEMLab, a mobile tissue culture lab that will travel from school to school to give students the opportunity to participate in the Million Orchid Project. Fairchild staff and educators were joined by Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, MiamiDade County Public Schools (MDCPS) representatives, University of Miami School of Architecture students and professors, and BioTECH

@ Richmond Heights High School students.

The STEMLab is a partnership between MDCPS and Fairchild and was constructed inside of a decommissioned school bus by University of Miami School of Architecture Design/Build students. The lab is fully functional and contains two laminar f low hoods, autoclave sterilization, and photovoltaic power. It will be used for propagating native and endangered orchids as part of the

Vine-cutting ceremony to unveil the STEMLab. [Photo courtesy of Brooke LeMaire]

Million Orchid Project. The lab will travel to a wide range of schools, including those that may not have the necessary resources for growing orchids, so all South Florida students can participate in an important environmental restoration initiative.

The Million Orchid Project aims to grow and reintroduce one million native and endangered orchids back into

South Florida’s urban spaces. The project began in December 2012 with the opening of the Micropropagaion Laboratory in Fairchild’s DiMare Science Village. Currently, more than 100 schools are participating in the project.

Glide into April With Momentum Dance Company’s Spring Season Performances This Spring, Miami-based Momentum Dance Company, celebrates its 34th anniversary with a special weekend of performances, April 2 – 3, 2016, which will have the audience’s emotions twirling from laughter to tears to serene spirituality.

Founder & Artistic Director of the Company, Delma Iles, will premiere three new works including Irresistible Pop, Forms Follow Man and Dido. The company will also perform Poems of Scriabin, a sorrowful and tender work by modern dance pioneer Anna Sokolow.

“We are so honored to own an historic work by Anna, one of the

greatest pioneers of modern dance,” says Iles. “Very few companies can say the same.”

The Company’s featured performance of Anna Sokolow’s 1985 work Poems of Scriabin was exclusively produced for Momentum and the role of the girl for Iles. The work follows Sokolow’s lyrical style; the story unfolds as a trio of women share a secret sorrow in an evocative and poignant first movement;

in the second, two lovers are caught in the perfect moment of new love, before anything has happened to tarnish it. The beautiful piano score by Russian Composer Alexander Scriabin will be played by Guest Artist Dr. Alan Ngim, who frequently collaborates with Momentum. Dr. Ngim will also be featured in a solo performance of a challenging solo piano performance of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in A major, op. 2, no. 2 I. Allegro vivace.

The other three performances include: • Irresistible Pop forgoes a score. The sound accompaniment is created by the dancers as they walk, stamp, bourrée, slide, leap, and hop on bubble wrap. This comic piece pokes fun at ballet tra-

ditions, tango, dance competitions and irresistible urges as the dancers find increasingly bizarre ways to use their bodies to keep popping down to the last bubble.

• Forms Follow Man cracks open the door to Iles’ darker side in a diptych of character portraits, but the characters aren’t particularly nice. They stink, both literally and metaphorically.

• Dido delves into the passions of classical antiquity with an emotional study of Virgil’s anti-heroine, Dido. Scorned by her lover, she twists like a flame amongst anger, despair and terrible sorrow under a dark veil of mourning that covers the entire stage, innovatively designed by costume designer Marilyn Skow.

The program will conclude with Iles’ monumental work from last season, Birds of the Inner Eye. This work, inspired by a visit to the Seattle Art Museum in 2014, where she saw an exhibition of paintings by the artists of the Pacific Northwest School, most notably Mark Tobey and Morris Graves, contains a delicate spiritual quality while also managing to be strictly disciplined. Part of the performance will be in silence and partially

to selections of piano works by French composer Olivier Messiaen.

Momentum Dance Company spring performances will happen on April 2nd at 8:00 p.m. and April 3rd at 3:00 p.m. at the Colony Theater located at 1040 Lincoln Road on Miami Beach.

To purchase tickets, call the box at (305) 674 – 1040 or visit www.

MomentumDance.com. General Admission is $25 in advance; $30 day of show; and students or seniors $12. For more information about Momentum Dance Company, visit their website at Momentum Dance Company or follow them on Facebook.

Florida Guitar Foundation The Florida Guitar Foundation hosted its latest community open mic last on March 11 at the Miami Conservatory of Music in Coconut Grove. These events provide a chance to socialize and show support for our local musicians. The open mic presents a relaxed environment for us to see what guitarists in the area are up to. Everyone from kids, to adult amateurs, to professionals can attend and play. If you want to play, just bring your guitar!

Not only is this an opportunity to hear some live music, but by attending you create an audience for players who may not always get to experience the rush of performing for others. It’s a great experience and a necessary part of being a musician, so your presence is always appreciated, even if you aren’t playing. And, since this is open to the public, you can invite anyone! Teachers especially are encouraged to bring their students to perform or watch.

— Cruising With Sylvia Bennett — Grammy nominee and jazz diva Sylvia Bennett, husband Hal and friends recently embarked on a Caribbean voyage aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Getaway. “Beautiful cabin, exceptional service, wonderful restaurants and fabulous entertainment,” said the songstress who is set to release her new album “It’s All About Love” this April. The cruise stopped in Ocho Rios, Georgetown (Jamaica), Grand Cayman, Cozumel (Mexico), and Great Stirrup Cay (Bahamas).
