Sailboards Miami Watersports:
Good for the Mind, Body, and Planet By: Chris Carson Chris@INYBN.com
Residents and tourists alike view Miami as a tropical destination, but few may appreciate all that the waters off of Key Biscayne have to offer as much as Karen DeLeon of Sailboards Miami does. She and her husband, Ovidio, have been fortunate enough to sail its waters since the 1980’s. Their company was formed with the mission of introducing windsurfing to the area; the couple enjoyed watching the sport bloom into the world-wide activity it is today. As the years and watersports multiplied, the company grew to become nationally recognized. The DeLeons have been featured on numerous televisions shows, in various magazines and have become an “unofficial landmark” of South Florida. Through all of the success, DeLeon does not

The combination of painting and wine has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and more and more companies offering B.Y.O. painting classes are popping up, and even painting classes that take place in a bar, winery, or brewery. The idea is so appealing that it’s inconceivable that it hasn’t been around longer. But with a winning idea comes a deluge of competitors who want to carve their own place in the market, a factor that doesn’t unsettle Apryl Davis of Wine & Canvas Fort Lauderdale/ Palm Beach one bit.

Mallorca, Una Joya en El Mediterráneo Por: Saida Santana Saida@INYBN.com
El diccionario de la Real Academia Española define isla como “porción de tierra rodeada de agua por todas partes” e isleño a aquel que es “natural de una isla”. Pero lo que ningún diccionario puede explicar es el sentimiento especial que provoca ser de una isla. Yo nací en Gran Canaria, una de las 7 islas del archipiélago canario que salpican el Atlántico, y viví allí hasta los 18 años que me trasladé a Madrid. Desde entonces esa sensación me persigue allí donde voy y me sorprende buscando el mar de mi infancia en los tejados de la urbe. Quizás por mi origen, cuando viajo, el destino de mis maletas suele ser el continente. Probablemente esa sea la razón por la que en casi 4 décadas de existencia, no había visitado
mala pasada pues yo esperaba encontrar mar, y no montaña. “Mi hotel está en primera línea de playa, me he debido equivocar de parada”, le dije al conductor. Él me sonrió y con un gesto me invitó a seguir a otros viajeros. Apenas a unos minutos andando apareció el mar como un milagro. Un entrañable puerto casi redondo que alberga dos playas y un agradable paseo marítimo han convertido el Puerto de Sóller en uno de los lugares vacacionales de moda para aquellos que buscan un entorno tranquilo. Este puerto es una perla escondida entre montañas. Su larga avenida está salpicada de numerosos restaurantes y terrazas desde la que observar la tranquilidad del mar o el impasible faro mientras desayunas un pan con sobrasada o una ensaimada con café. En la calle principal aún está el antiguo

aún a mis islas vecinas, las Baleares. Ya era hora de hacerlo y lo haría comenzando por Mallorca. Era noviembre y la temporada vacacional comenzaba a cerrar sus puertas, una ventaja para conocer sus rincones sin el bullicio propio del verano. El Puerto de Sóller, situado en el municipio del mismo nombre, sería mi refugio durante 5 días inolvidables. Hice mi viaje en autobús desde Palma de Mallorca. Al llegar a la última parada divisé la enormidad de la Sierra de Tramontana, al noroeste de la isla, declarada Patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO. Mi ignorancia me jugó una

la prosperidad al valle. Los rayos del sol van bajando y anuncian la tarde. Es hora de coger el tranvía hacia Sóller siguiendo la estela del aroma a azahar. Al llegar callejeo sin rumbo y descubro una estrechas calles empedradas habitadas por casas tradicionales que se remontan al siglo XVI, edificios modernistas y tiendas de artesanía que invitan a vivir en ellas. Es sin duda el centro comercial y cultural de la Sierra. Mis pasos me llevan a la plaza central donde se erige la Iglesia

tranvía que conecta el Puerto con el pueblo de Sóller, situado a unos 3 kilómetros de distancia hacia el interior. Se trata de otra perla que yace en un valle con forma de cuenco, plagado de naranjos y olivos. La calidez del sol me incita a darme un baño para luego recostarme en la cálida arena. Han pasado las horas y mi cuerpo pide alimento. Me siento en una terraza a disfrutar un “frit mallorquí”, plato muy popular que admite muchas variantes, y que puede ser de carne o de pescado. Lo acompaño con queso de la zona y de postre un chupito de licor de naranjas de Sóller, las mismas que llevaron
parroquial de San Bartolomé, rodeada de árboles y cafés. Mientras el sol se esconde tras el campanario, mis ojos se van
cerrando. Es hora de regresar al puerto y descansar. Demasiados lugares y poco tiempo. Recuerdo entonces el objetivo de mi viaje: “que mis días transcurran tranquilos mientras disfruto al máximo cada lugar”. Por ello elijo el plan perfecto: motocicleta, picnic y un doble destino: Valldemosa y Deyá. A tan sólo 17 kilómetros de la capital, Valldemosa, es parte del encanto de la Sierra. Mientras subo por sus calles empinadas y estrechas, salen a mi encuentro casas con puertas y ventanas verdes incrustadas en sólida piedra con aroma a almendra y olivo. La principal atracción de Valldemosa es el conjunto monumental de La Real Cartuja, de principios del siglo XIV, con preciosos jardines, claustros, celdas y habitaciones monásticas. En su celda número 3 (actual celda número 4) se hospedaron la escritora George Sand y el compositor y pianista Chopin en 1838. Se ha metido frío y deseo ver el mar bravío. Bajo entonces a su pequeño puerto pesquero que refleja la historia de los pescadores y me llena de nostalgia. No puedo regresar al Puerto de Sóller sin antes pasar por Deyá, un lugar que atrae a artistas, músicos y escritores.
Sus 5 kilómetros de costa en moto me dejan embelesada. Ahora dejo atrás las fincas de piedra que se asoman entre el verde y su imponente iglesia de San Juan Bautista que corona el lugar. Aún hay unos rayos de sol cuando leo un letrero “Cala Deyá”. Un rincón

de piedra y azul que invita al baño de forma única. Me sumerjo en el agua cristalina. No puedo dejar de agradecer disfrutar de tanta belleza. Salgo del agua, me tumbo en una de sus grandes lajas aún caliente. Saco de mi mochila una sobrasada que casi se ha derretido y la unto en pan de pueblo. El placer ahora inunda todos mis sentidos. Y ese sentimiento de ser isleña comienza a acariciarme la espalda y suavemente me susurra al oído: “Ya estás en casa”. Saida Santana

Do More than Give Back — Get Involved with the Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables By: Sarah L. Mason Sarah@INYBN.com
The Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables is one of the oldest chapters of Kiwanis International, a global non-profit organization whose stated mission is “serving the children of the world,” a mission the Coral Gables chapter has expanded to include other community members who could benefit from a helping hand. Since being founded in 1926, the Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables has stayed strong, largely due to the sense of duty of its members who “respond to the needs of the South Florida community,” as their website explains. Current President and member Raquel Ramirez stated that she chose to make Kiwanis a big part of her life because it consistently gives her “new ways to gain that fulfillment people get from giving back and being part of something important.” “It’s something you do because you want to,” she explained. “I have a great team of people who are motivated to keep the club active and give back to the community; the secretary, vice president, and

immediate past president and many others are extremely dedicated. I see that people keep coming to our events and meetings, and the more I see, the more it fuels the fire. It is wonderful when we all work together toward something, and it creates this feeling that is drenched in wholesome goodness.” Kiwanis International was founded in 1915 in Detroit and quickly grew into an international organization. The Coral Gables chapter dedicates its time, resources, and energy to supporting local groups such as the Boy Scouts, the Gulliver Preparatory Key Club, the Coral Gables High School Key Club, and their own Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables Youth Foundation. The Youth Foundation benefits underprivileged children and also supports other non-profit organizations. One particularly special pursuit of the Kiwanis Club of Coral Gable is the Nick Kotys Award, named for Coral Gables Cavaliers former head coach Nick Kotys, given annually to the most outstanding high school football player in MiamiDade County.
The Kiwanis proudly serve Coral Gables. [Photos on page courtesy of the Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables]
“The guy was a rock star,” President Ramirez said of Nick Kotys. “He was more than a coach. The kids called him a mentor and a leader. Many of the players we have awarded in the past 27 years have gone on to play in the NFL.” The Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables is always looking for new members to become part of exciting community opportunities and events such as the Nick Kotys Award and other service projects and fundraisers. And this summer, members and supporters will have an opportunity to get involved in the Club’s 90th birthday celebration, a Gatsby-themed ticketed gala with food, drinks and dancing. They’ll celebrate the work and dedication of several lifetime Keyshawn Young, the winner of the 27th annual Kotys Award members, some of whom have been part of the Kiwanis Club of ups, the gala, a toy drive, a new service Coral Gables for fifty or more years. project to relate to Nick Kotys, and more Members of the Club get together for activities.

Dip de Frijoles con Chiles Poblanos y Chiles Chipotles Adobados 1
By: Fernando Montes de Oca Fernando@INYBN.com
El chile poblano, en México se le denomina así a una variedad fresca del Capsicum annuum. Es muy utilizado para la gastronomía de este país. Seco es conocido como chile “mulato” o “ancho” y es el principal ingrediente del mole poblano. El grado de picor de este chile está determinado por una sustancia llamada “capsicina” aunque por lo general no es picoso. El chile chipotle (también llamado chilpotle, Náhuatl chilpoctli o xipoctli, que significa chile ahumado) es un tipo de chile que se ha dejado madurar, para después ser ahumado y aliñado. Es de

Ingredientes 2 tazas de frijoles bayos o negros 1 taza de rajas de chile poblano 1/2 taza de chiles chipotles adobados 1 Cucharada de aceite neutro Sal al gusto

how the Miami stores cater to the given community. “Our donations help the hyper local charities; we think it’s the right thing to do.” Those donations benefit numerous organizations, which Whole Foods carefully selects based on a set of criteria. But for now, that focus has shifted on Miami Science Barge and its impact on the Miami community, owing to Whole Foods’ support along with the Barge’s self-sufficient capacities. The Biscayne Bay-based Museum Park Barge recently opened as a sort of follow-up to what already exists in New York- a similar entity floating in the Hudson River developed by Dr. Ted Caplow, CEO and founder of CappSci. “We won the 2015 Knight City sponsorship,” stated Barge representative Alissa Farina about how the Barge project came about after connecting with Caplow. “Our mission is to use science to create solutions to problems of global significance.” Renewable energy powers the floating urban ecological laboratory and public environmental education center and has been getting good hype, noted Farina. Also, the boost from Whole Foods has only had positive ramifications. “Our mission is very closely matched to the mission of Whole Foods,” said Farina about the project that officially launched on Earth Day of this year. “I’m really, really pleased that they want to work with us to enhance each others’ mission. What a great space [the Miami Barge] is for promoting science and envi-

ronmentalism.” The mission could not complete itself without certification from US Coast Guards, who so-called “test the waters” and perform life safety drills, ensuring that the barge fulfills safety standards. Since completing these drills on opening day, Barge volunteers and employees have led public weekend tours with the ultimate goal of encouraging local Miami folks to join
preservation efforts and become involved in the organization’s efforts. “The ultimate goal is to create a space to create a space and forum,” remarked Farina a propos the Barge, “where we can talk about helping Miami reach its full potential as America’s great environmental city.” While New York, Los Angeles and other cities have overshadowed Miami in certain
[Photo courtesy of Jade Lieonart]
[Photo courtesy of Jade Lieonart]
respects, experts consider the latter to have the potential of becoming the poster child of environmentalism should efforts from organizations such as the Miami Barge thrive. “Miami is at the forefront for climate change issues, especially in relation to sea level rise, as well as incredible capabilities for technologies, like renewal energies and sustainable food production,” underscored Farina. “Our vision is to help elevate Miami’s status as a green leader of the world.” In raising Miami’s status among environmentally friendly cities, it has become cleaner and better day in, day out through efforts of local non-profits like the Miami Barge. And while in journalism it is essential to present both sides of the argument,
it’s a fairly one-sided declaration to hold that any local non-profit created with the objective of promoting preservationist behavior can only benefit the city, its residents and above all, its future. “This is the first exhibit to learn about the environment that’s never been done before in Miami,” pointed out Farina. “This hasn’t been done in anywhere in the world.” With photovoltaic solar panels supplying power for all of the Barge’s energy needs, visitors may learn how to produce their own sustainable power in their everyday lives. Students K-12 can attend guided field trips, and others can participate in workshops to learn more, a concept that never gets old regardless of age.

my Master’s Degree in Mental Health,” recalled DeLeon. Though she wasn’t initially privy to it, her studies in mental health would eventually enlighten DeLeon to how beneficial watersports can be for someone’s mental wellness. Her decision to place a premium on mental health might have subconsciously played a factor in Sailboards Miami’s success. For over twenty years, Sailboards Miami has been partnering with Miami-Dade County to offer safety, recreation, and fun on the Rickenbacker Causeway. Their location is an ideal place to sail from if you want to see the historic Vizcaya that James Deering designed. Sailboards Miami has become a beacon of security, a helping hand, and a source of information for Windsurfer Beach. Their watersports are also a great way to spend a day on the water. “There’s no better way to spend an afternoon. We have something for everyone, but we specialize in beginners. In 30 years, we’ve only had one

customer we couldn’t successfully get up on a board on the water,” stated DeLeon. When it comes to surfing lessons for beginners, DeLeon and her company believe they can have anyone up on the water within 20 minutes. Those who enroll in this instructional course can also expect to learn how to point the board and turn it around, as well as speed it up and slow it down. The instructors at Sailboards Miami observe their clients’ change from “land legs to sea legs” as they
improve their skills during the initial session. “There is no reason why anyone can’t do any of our sports. We have trained instructors and the equipment. They just need to bring the desire,” indicated DeLeon. The watersports offered at Sailboards Miami include windsurfing, kayaking, and SUPs (stand up paddleboards). Additionally, they offer rental gear for those taking lessons and those who arealready skilled on the water, and lack

personal equipment. If you are looking to purchase your own gear, Sailboards Miami offers boards, sails, fins, kayaks, and many other accessories to have fun with on the water. By offering the skillset, equipment, and location to have an enjoyable afternoon on the water, Sailboards Miami hopes that its clients will also inherit its company’s mindset. “We want people to leave only footprints and take only pictures. Appreciate the beauty around them by cleaning up after themselves. The water is for everyone, and everyone has a right to enjoy it and should respect it,” DeLeon remarked. Keeping the area clean signals a true watersport professional. Whether you want to spend a day kitesurfing solo or bring the entire family—including the family dog—to enjoy the ocean, the experience will be magnified if you are in a trash-free area. Sailboards Miami urges you to leave the technology in the car and reconnect with nature; avail yourself of the scenic aquatic playground
South Florida has to offer, but make sure to keep it beautiful. “We are out on the water every day; we can see the impact we have on the area. I want to continue enjoying this planet, and we hope others will help in keeping it enjoyable,” urged DeLeon. To learn more on how to enjoy the water with Sailboards Miami, visit http://www.sailboardsmiami.com/ or contact 305-892-8992. Please remember to leave only footprints and take only photographs.

her room to use all of her skills to create an optimal experience for her customers. She has a master’s degree in social work, which she used to find a job helping others after graduating. However, being a social worker in Indiana, where she was born, was not Davis’s dream—she wanted to find a job where she could apply a wider range of her talents and her smarts. Now, with Wine & Canvas, she offers fun painting classes, team building events and other fun activities. “I am a rebirthed, reborn artist,” said Davis. “A late stage, late-in-life artist, or however you want to frame it. The point is that I don’t have a lot of training and haven’t lived a life devoted to art — I make art people can relate to.” Another unique aspect of the overall structure of Wine & Canvas is that the teachers make their own paintings, as well as share a wealth of paintings with one another. Many of the pictures come from photographs, and so display elements of realism as well as natural colors and shades. Davis strives to choose paintings “that people will want to put on the wall,” she noted, so whether that requires her to create her own or borrow from the group, she has the know-how

and the resources for both. But this convivial structure that allows Davis to run her own show didn’t come easy. “I come from nothing,” she said. “I am a single mother who had no support. I have two boys who are also artists and may someday want to build this business too. I want something for my kids and their kids. I lost everything to make this business work.” Because so many have ventured in this type of business and there was no competition in Indiana, Davis was surprised by the B.Y.O. painting classes already in place in South Florida.
But she stayed true to her nature and became part of the scene anyway. “There are a million people trying to do a version of what we do,” she observed, but that doesn’t stop her or her dreams. “My goal was to break through for my sons; maybe they’ll want to come back one day. Even if they don’t, I have still proven to myself that I can do anything. I have bigger dreams as well—one day I want to write my own story, write my own books.” And despite being one in an industry of many, Davis is not intimidated. “I consider myself a boutique concierge service. I am very immediate with my responses, and I customize to people’s needs. If someone wants to book a party at eleven at night, I answer. I bring my social work expertise to the table.” Davis loves to see her customers having fun, and she encourages people to embrace their own styles, “creating artists that didn’t know they were artists, kind of like I did,” she said. “Once customers come to us, they stay. I’ve had people paint with me forty times. I wasn’t born with this; this doesn’t come naturally to me. So I am able to explain it to my customers in a very basic form.” If you want to have fun with sips and a brush, contact Apryl Davis at apryl@wineandcanvas.com or call 754-202-5222.

Swire Properties Inc. Donates $600,000 to Miami’s Friends of The Underline Swire Properties Inc, the developer of Brickell City Centre, the $1.05 billion mixed-use project under completion in the heart of Brickell, announced its commitment of $600,000 to fund The Underline, the proposed 10-mile linear park that aims to transform the underutilized land below Miami’s Metrorail. Similar to the concept of New York City’s High Line, The Underline will focus on transforming the space around Miami’s urban infrastructure and is set to be one of the city’s most ambitious projects. Once completed, The Underline, which will act as both an urban trail and living art destination, will be anchored on the north end at the Miami River near Brickell Avenue and on the south end by the Dadeland South Metrorail Station. The Underline will encourage Miami residents to embrace a new urban lifestyle by walking, biking or taking mass transit as an alternative to driving. The project will also have substantial economic impact by encouraging mixed-use development along US 1, increasing property values, adding jobs and encouraging adjacent businesses to activate and connect to The Underline. The Underline is anticipated to bring an additional $170 million in total economic output during construction and $50 million annually after completion. “Swire Properties and The Underline share the same passion for providing a safe biking, walking and leisure refuge for the city’s most dense neighborhoods,” said Guy Bradley, CEO of Swire Properties Ltd., Swire Properties’ parent company based in Hong Kong. “As Brickell City Centre nears completion, we want to continue to build upon our vision for a more sustainable Miami and do our part to make this important community asset come to fruition.” Swire’s donation will be earmarked for the construction of the Brickell portion of The Underline and will seamlessly connect with Swire’s renovation of the Eighth Street Metromover station and surrounding green space, which is located adjacent to the 5.4-millionsquare foot Brickell City Centre. “Swire’s donation exemplifies the developer’s conviction and commitment to the community,” said Meg Daly, founder of Friends of The Underline, the nonprofit organization behind the project. “Their generous support will be instrumental in bringing more private and public funding to this transformative project for Miami-Dade County and the city of Miami.” As a major sponsor, Swire will continue to advocate funding, design and future maintenance of The Underline. Stephen Owens, president of Swire Properties, is a member of the Board of Trustees for the nonprofit. Friends of The Underline will celebrate Swire’s donation and newly forged partnership on May 25 at a private VIP reception at Brickell City Centre’s hotel EAST, Miami, where plans for The Underline’s temporary art installations, set for fall 2016, will also be unveiled. During the event, Swire hopes to chal-
planned development of Brickell Key. The project’s first phase includes a luxury and premium shopping center, two residential towers, a hotel with residences, and two mid-rise office towers. The project is LEED®registered for Neighborhood Development – currently one of the largest in the U.S. Sustainability elements include the $30 million CLIMATE RIBBON™; a masterpiece of art and science, the elevated trellis will span 150,000 square feet, connecting the project’s Stephen Owens, President of Swire Properties, Mari I.

PL A NET YOUTH
Youth Summer Internship Program to Employ 1,300 Students A historic collaboration between key Miami-Dade stakeholders brings something special to students this summer – 1300 jobs throughout the County. The Youth Summer Internship Program–designed to keep students safe and motivated this summer – is the result of a partnership of the Miami-Dade School Board, the Board of County Commissioners, and the Foundation for New Education Initiatives and The Children’s Trust. “This summer, MiamiDade’s public school students will have the opportunity to participate in a summer youth inter nship prog ram made possible through innovative school and community partnerships,” said Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho. “In an age of
increased competitiveness, Miami-Dade students will benefit from real-world work experiences that will help prepare them to excel in their chosen career fields. Not only will students have the opportunity to enhance learning and earn high school and college credits, but they will be compensated for working in professional environments that will propel them to success after graduation. The program also provides students the opportunity to positively engage in safe and productive activities over the summer.” The Summer Jobs Program demonstrates the community’s commitment to working together to create a safer Miami-Dade for our children and for future generations. Safety and security of Mi-
ami-Dade’s young people are common goals of these organizations, and this program will keep children safe while providing an opportunity to do something positive during the summer. Students and businesses interested in participating in the program can learn more and sign up at https://miami. getmyinterns.org/. Miami-Dade County has provided $1.7 million towards the program through legislation sponsored by Commissioner Xavier Suarez, in conjunction with $750,000 provided by The Children’s Trust. A total of 1,300 jobs will be provided, with 10 percent of the jobs going to children with special needs and 100 jobs being allocated to each commission district. The Summer Jobs Program will be
administered through MiamiDade County Public Schools. Along with employment, students will receive academic components that will provide them educational benefits, including possible high school or college credit. “One of my top priorities is putting our residents to work, including our younger residents,” said MiamiDade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez. “This program will provide our young residents with the type of work experience that will prepare them for future success. Quality of life is directly tied to access to good jobs, so I am pleased to work with the Board of County Commissioners, The Children’s Trust and the Miami-Dade County Public Schools to employ young people throughout the entire
County.” “In the true spirit of collaboration, The Children’s Trust, Miami-Dade County and Miami-Dade County Public Schools will collectively support approximately 1,300 youth as they pursue their academic and professional aspirations,” said James Haj, president and CEO of The Children’s Trust. “Beginning to build a résumé in high school sets teens apart from their peers as future employers are looking for as much professional exposure and experience as possible. An internship counts! This exciting collaborative effort complements the nearly $3 million The Children’s Trust is already dedicating to summer jobs for youth, and will help to curb the growing youth violence problem.”

Remote Miami Launches An Artificial Intelligence Experience A Pedestrian-Based Live Art Experience in Downtown Miami New York, Paris, Berlin, São Paulo, Moscow and now Miami are examples of the latest cities in the Remote X series, a collection of interactive, pedestrianbased live art play experiences hosted across the world. Remote Miami, presented by Rimini Protokoll (Kaegi/Karrenbauer) and Questalive Productions, takes participants on a guided city expedition via headphones from an artificially intelligent (AI) source and synthetic voice that directs movement while observing from a distant remote location. It combines the elements of theatre, performance, guided tour, computer games and quest. There are no chairs to sit in as the participant takes full part in the action. The events happen in real time where the city streets provide the set design while people passing by become the actors and the surrounding reality provides props. The performance is a fun and exhilarating game as well as an intriguing mental exercise. Participants in the show, together with their

computerized interlocutor, explore the city in stereo format discovering individuality, mortality, memory and the invasion of our mental geography by technology. The show begins with the artificial intelligence voice Heather stating, “I am a com-
puter generated voice. I normally help blind people reading news and emails. I don’t have a body. I don’t have a soul. I have no eyes, but I know where you are. I can do bad things to people without feeling guilty. Ha ha ha. Don’t worry. I will try to be your friend.”
GALERIA ADELMO
Collective Art Exhibition Friday, May 27 from 7PM until 10PM 1165 S.W. 6th Street, Miami 33130 (305) 549-7200
The two-hour Miami experience begins in the city’s oldest cemetery located at 1800 NE Ave., and finishes in a surprise Downtown Miami location area. With groups of up to 50, participants are immersed into another world surrounded by the soundscapes produced
within the city. The headphones and verbal AI directions allow participants to gain a different perspective of the city as well as question their existence versus artificial intelligence reality. “This experience will change you. Actually, it does: in a compelling and disarming way,” stated Radio France, one of France’s larger public radio consortiums. Remote X was created by production company, Rimini Protokoll. The company was founded in Germany by award-winning playwrights and stage directors Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel. The Remote X series is hosted in cities around the world and was most recently introduced to Miami by Questalive Productions. “It’s a kind of invisible architecture. We’re setting up a precise geographical structure, like a tunnel through the city that nobody sees.” Stefan Kaegi, CoFounder of Rimini Protokoll. Shows run on a weekly schedule taking place every Saturday through June 25. General admission tickets are $32 and student tickets are $22 (valid Student I.D. must be shown at event on-site registration).

On May 6, 2016, the Coral Gables Bar Association sponsored Law Day at the Coral Gables Branch Court with a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona, which guarantees that any individual who is accused of a crime is advised of his or her rights. Forty students from Coral Gables High School participated in the event. Judge Stephen Millan was a guest speaker at the event and explained the history and significance of the Miranda decision to the students. Ramesh Nyberg
Nyberg were so generous in volunteering their time for this important cause. It is essential that we educated our future leaders so that we can work together to uphold and protect the procedures that ensure justice.” “We cannot thank the members of the Coral Gables Bar Association enough for volunteering their time to make Law Day a success for the bright and talented students of Coral Gables Senior High,” said Lana Naghshineh, Esq., a director of the Coral Gables Bar Association. “The enthusiasm of the students and their ap-
of Nyberg Investigations, and 21-year veteran of the Miami-Dade County Police Department’s homicide division, was also a guest speaker and explained how this court decision has affected taking suspects into custody and questioning. “Our goal was to demonstrate that Miranda is more than words – that this law and its underlying principles are essential to our justice system and our culture,” said Andres Correa, Esq., president of the Coral Gables Bar Association. “We are thankful that Judge Millan and Mr.
parent interest in the law is promising – our future is in good hands.” Following the presentations, Judge Millan and Nyberg held a question-andanswer session with the students. These students all submitted essays on the Miranda v. Arizona case to the Coral Gables Bar Association as part of an annual Law Day essay contest. Correa personally presented the students with the top two essays with their prizes. Jordan Morina was awarded $1,500 for his first place essay and Francesca Mocci received $500 for her second place essay.
CAMACOL Hosts 37th Hemispheric Congress of Latin Chambers of Commerce Long established as the business icon that links Miami to Latin America, and under the new leadership of President Nelson Tarke, CAMACOL is hosting the 37th Hemispheric Congress of Latin Chambers of Commerce at a four-day event in Coral Gables beginning on June 6. “There is no other event in Miami, or in Florida for that matter, that garners this level of international attention and participation. More than 25 countries from Latin America, Europe, and Asia will be represented at the congress,” said Tarke. “Hundreds of international businesses will participate because CAMACOL offers access to foreign markets through its matchmaking sessions as well as educational opportunities related to increasing sales, reducing costs, and improving productivity and efficiencies. Our focus this year will be international film market, business tourism, innovative technology, trade agreements and investments, and education.
“Influenced by the changing dynamics of the trade industry, CAMACOL is taking a fresh look at major international business sectors and once again trailblazing a new era,” he said. “CAMACOL helped establish Florida as one of the nation’s most business-friendly states by taking advantage of the expertise of its members, Miami’s geographic location, and our region’s economic stability,” said Jose Matto, executive director of the Hemispheric Congress. “The deepening to Port Miami is a major development in the trade industry and we are ready to help guide our Latin American partners into strengthening their presence in the industry.” The conference, being held at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, connects international business leaders with attendees who share interest in expanding commerce in South Florida through Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, Poland and China. At-
tendees will have the opportunity to meet with business leaders through matchmaking business meetings, interactive panels, networking events, luncheons and a trade show expo. A new element has been added in 2016 offering virtual meetings for individuals unable to travel to the conference. Through a prearranged business matchmaking system, attendees at the conference will be able to digitally meet with business leaders around the world.
A catalyst in the South Florida region for over 50 years, CAMACOL has been at the forefront of developing the minority business sector. With its vast experience, the organization has positioned itself to identify new international business trends to assist business leaders adapt to an ever-changing industry. Current surges in world economies and Florida’s thriving development have propelled CAMACOL to intensify its resources to fortify Miami’s reputation as the ‘gateway to
Latin America.’ “We have been following the effect of the Port of Miami expansion closely and the time to do business is now,” added Matto. “Miami is one of the nation’s leading financial hubs, Florida ranks No. 1 in exports by air to South America and we offer more direct, nonstop flights to Latin America than any other state. People want to do business here like they haven’t in decades and we are ready to welcome them.” Consistent with its vision of fostering Florida’s Hispanic entrepreneurial spirit, CAMACOL has redesigned its programs to improve its operation. As part of its role in linking Miami to Latin America, CAMACOL serves as an advocate for the minority business enterprise in both the private and public sectors. Registration is open at Camacol.org.

THE CH A M PI O N ’S B E N CH
Teresa Sarnoff Donates $10,000 Worth of Defibrillators to the City of Miami for Use by the City of Miami Police Department Patrol Division On Friday, May 6, Teresa Sarnoff donated eight automated electronic defibrillators (AEDs) to the City of Miami Police Department for use in the patrol division. Sarnoff donated the final amounts she did not spend in her election for City of Miami Commissioner. Teresa previously donated to Lotus House to sponsor the rehabilitation of homeless women and to Animal Rescue. “This final donation will allow properly trained officers [trained by the City Miami Fire Rescue Department] to immediately render assistance to victims of heart attacks, allowing patrol officers, often times moments away, to render immediate assistance, as opposed to waiting on Fire Rescue to arrive from its departmental station,” Sarnoff stated. Sarnoff went on to say, “This donation can save a life, but just as important, can be the start of improved relations for police officers who are more than often viewed in a negative light
in some communities. Now, the officer may be rendering assistance to save a loved one, creating the opportunities for new dynamics between the police and the community - often only shared by Fire Rescue.” The City of Miami has 20
AEDs in police vehicles. The additional eight, which are the later version G5, will bring the number to 28. Other cities, like Coral Gables, have more than 120 AEDs in patrol vehicles. This year to date, City of Miami Police has saved four vic-

tion, which was made at City of Miami Police Headquarters at 400 NW 2nd Avenue. Sarnoff donated the money to the Jackson Memorial Health Foundation, which accepted the proceeds and then procured the eight AEDs from Cardiac Science.
