For a city with a relatively small population of approximately 50,000, Coral Gables has established quite a reputation for itself as one of the first planned communities in Miami-Dade, with its foundation based on the early twentieth century City Beautiful Movement. The Gables is known for its Mediterranean revival-style architecture, hometown feel, pedestrian lifestyle and also reputed as an arts, dining and entertainment haven. Vice Mayor Vince Lago, who has served Coral Gables in his current role since 2013, has an ambitious longterm vision for the city he has called home for nearly 40 years. We recent-

Hailed for its beaches and year-round tropical weather, South Florida is often overlooked when it comes to its worldclass medical facilities and top notch centers such as the Mailman Center for Child Development at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, located in Miami proper. Dr. Daniel Armstrong, the new Senior Associate Dean for Child Health and Director of the Mailman Center, has graciously shared with us with the Center’s vision, its intriguing history and a preview of some of its many programs. While new in his current post, he joined the faculty of the University of Miami in 1985, and in 1999 was named Director of the Mailman Center for Child Development, the University of Miami’s second center and only center with federal statutory designation. Among his impressive list of achievements, Dr. Armstrong has served, over the past 34 years, in multiple senior clinical, research, educational (LCME, GME, graduate, and research training), and administrative leadership roles in the Department of Pediatrics and Miller School of Medicine, and was the Senior Vice President/CEO for the Holtz Women’s and Children’s Hospital for two years. Dr. Armstrong explains that the Center was one of the 11 original University Affiliated Facilities in The United States and that designation came about in a reContinued on page 12

ly met with Lago to discuss his civic and arts involvement, transportation, awareness campaigns, sustainability initiatives and hopes for this idyllic locale. Born in New Orleans, Lago moved to the Gables with his family in 1980 and considers himself a native. With a passion for the unique and diverse state of Florida and deep roots in the city he calls home, Lago’s dedication to local civic and philanthropic causes is worthy of note. As a former member of the Coral Gables Planning and Zoning Board, he brought reason and creativity to the table while remaining committed to maintaining the unique character of the city for its residents. During his tenure, Lago has led multiple legislative initiatives on sustainability, which has always been a top priority. Lago has a deep appreciation for the arts and served as a board member of Locust Projects, a non-profit contemporary art organization that supports emerging and mid-career artists. He is currently a board member at the Coral Gables Museum and believes in educating the community on the importance of art and culture. Lago is aware that the city’s bustling arts and entertainment scene has the tendency to attract residents and visitors alike. Its galleries, shops, restaurants and festivals are known to create traffic congestion and parking woes. Because of this, transportation is a hot topic for residents and Continued on page 10

For purposes of real estate transactions, Florida, unlike many other states, does not require the parties to utilize a Florida lawyer. The parties are permitted to use a title company to close the transaction. Sophisticated buyers and sellers typically understand the substantial benefits of utilizing Florida attorneys, as opposed to title companies, to close transactions. Those who are infrequent parties to such transactions may inquire as to the benefits of engaging attorneys to represent their interests. As such, this article will address some of the advantages of calling upon experienced real estate attorneys for such transactions. It is important to first understand that title companies (i.e. agents) work at the behest of the title underwriters. The role of a title company is largely confined to closing the transaction and issuing the title policy. They do not “represent” the buyer or seller. Conversely, Florida real estate attorneys handle those same title company functions but additionally assist with contract preparation/review, financing, warranties, ownership structure, dispute resolution, and overall assistance in guiding and representing the client’s best interests. Additionally, it is impor tant to understand that the attorneys are governed by the Florida Bar while title companies are licensed through the Florida Department of Insurance. There is no requirement for a title company to have an attorney on staff (or to otherwise utilize or retain) the services of a licensed Florida real estate attorney. Some
lawyers operate title companies as a side business for residential transactions. You might wonder why. In many (but not all) instances, the title companies are staffed by lower level clerks, processors, and other lesser trained personnel and operate without attorney supervision. If a problem arises with a transaction in the title company, the worst that can happen is that the Department of Insurance will terminate the title company license but the attorney does not lose his/her Florida Bar license. Since title agents are not required to have law degrees nor are the title companies required to employ Florida attorneys, they are not permitted to provide legal advice. Title companies are very limited in their ability to solve legal problems. Residential transactions are unfortunately ever more complicated with a never-ending array of legal issues that may arise. Those buyers who have used a title company (typically at the recommendation of a realtor who may be affiliated with the title company), and have encountered a problem in a transaction, understand this very well. When the legal issue arises which the title company is unable to solve, the buyer then has
to engage an attorney. At this point, the buyer may incur additional costs (that may have been avoidable had the attorney handled the transaction from the outset). Further, the transaction can be unnecessarily delayed, which may affect the parties. As it relates to cost, most find lawyers and title companies are comparable. The vast majority of closing costs are fixed by state law, including documentary stamp taxes on deeds, title insurance premiums and all recording costs. To the extent that a residential transaction warrants the imposition of legal fees (which typically means a significant issue has arisen), it is commonly money well spent considering the significance of the purchase.

George Merrick was Coral Gables’ Version of Sarasota’s Ringling Brothers By: Karelia Martinez Carbonell, President of the Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables Merrick was a creative genius, a master of advertising, and a visionary who was relentless when it came to creating his dream of building a beautiful city. As a declining interest in Coral Gables real estate began to taper off by 1926, George Merrick came up with the idea of building what was then the largest home development project in history. Merrick’s vision to build 14 villages from different international regions steered him away from the established Mediterranean Revival style. The project was to bring novelty and attention to prospecting buyers. “Merrick’s decision to hire architects of note for these projects insured the stylistic integrity of the architecture,” writes Marta Huston, longtime Chinese Village homeowner. Although more than a dozen themed villages were planned, only seven were built. Today, in alphabetical order, there is the Chinese Village, Dutch South African Village, French City Village, French Cou nt r y Village, French Normandy Village, Italian Village, and Pioneer Village. Had there not been a collapse of the real estate market in the late 1920s, George Merrick’s vision would have also provided for a Venetian Country Village, a Mexican Hacienda Village, a Spanish Mission Village, a Persian Vil-

Recognition goes to Marta Huston, a former resident of the Chinese Village, who contributed a wealth of information for this article. Below is an excerpt from her research.
Merrick called on Yale architect Henry Killam Murphy for the design of the Chinese Village. Murphy developed his New York and New Haven practice in the milieu of the City Beautiful Movement, which debuted at the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893. But his first sight of the Imperial City in Beijing was the turning point of his career: “The finest group of buildings in the world.” Yale-in-China commissions for educational projects took Murphy to China in 1914, where he established a thriving practice that came to include Beijing University, the University of Shanghai and the plans for Chiang Kai-shek’s government center in Nanjing. During these years in China, Murphy developed what he termed Adaptive Architecture, a harmony of traditional Chinese style with modern architectural methods, materials and building use. George Merrick would draw on Murphy’s China experience in the design of Coral Gables’ Chinese Village. T he Chinese Village of Coral Gables was based on Murphy’s Adaptive Architecture, blending the architecture of traditional Chinese courtyard homes (Siheyuans) with American life-styles and con-
temporary building methods. The homes feature an enclosing garden wall pierced by decorative grids. Courtyards and gardens are protected by guardian figures. A brightly colored tile roof turns up its corners like the wings of a bird. Inside, the rooms, amenities and floor-plan of a 1920s vintage American home are embellished with traditional Chinese grid patterns on windows, doors and balustrades. Attention to the placement of windows establishes a visual relationship between courtyards and indoor spaces. Only eight homes were completed before the real-estate collapse and hur ricanes of the 1920s ended the building boom. This cluster of homes built between 1926 and 1927 are linked to each other by a common wall suggesting a "compound" arrangement. These homes are bounded by Sansovino and Castania Avenues, Maggiore Street, Riviera Drive, and Menendez Avenue. The Chinese Village is designated a Historic Landmark. Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables (HPACG) is a 501c3 nonprof it whose mission is to promote the understanding and importance of historic resources and their preservation.

Don’t Wait for a Disaster to Prepare: A Discussion with the American Red Cross • The American Red Cross is a globally recognized leader in dealing with humanitarian crises.
By: Aldo Fonseca aldo.j.fonseca@gmail.com
• While the community mostly recognizes the organization for its response to major calamities, the Red Cross also responds to various kinds of local disasters such as home fires and severe weather incidents. • The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

It’s a common image on the news following a natural disaster: A team of volunteers in red or beige vests in front of pallets of bottled water. A white disaster relief truck with a bold red cross, a universal symbol of help for those most in need. For over a hundred years, the American Red Cross has been at the forefront of humanitarian relief efforts, deploying around the world where residents need them the most. But more than that, the Red Cross is a dependable life jacket, serving local communities in a variety of ways. “People are not often aware that [we] actually do a lot of preparedness, teach CPR courses, assist with home fi re relief, and provide services to military members and their families,” says Rebecca Torriani, Regional Communications and Marketing Manager for the South Florida Region. “Even during a hurricane, we have 120-hour preparation timeline where we meet with county and city officials as well as fi rst responders to coordinate the logistics of managing such an event.” For most of us living in South Florida, hurricane preparation is like a me-

teorological game of chicken, where we put off major investments in resources or even simple evacuation planning until the last minute. Torriani points out, “One of our most important functions is educating the community about what they need to do be prepared for such an event. We do this though our partnerships with local media and run through a checklist of what you need to have. Additionally, knowing the difference between an evacuation shelter and a post-storm shelter.” In the (mercifully) few times people in South Florida have lost that game of chicken, packing an emergency kit and running to a local evacuation shelter becomes an exercise in stress and crisis management, often resulting in misunderstandings about what you will need and for how long at the most inopportune time. Torriani adds that a simple piece of critical information, such as which shelters permit pets, is often overlooked, creating stressful situations for families. The Red Cross is always in need of volunteers to teach disaster education programs and train children and young adults how to prepare for emergencies. K-5 kids learn about disaster preparedness in “Pillowcase Project” presenta-
tions, where they are told to place possessions they find comforting into a pillowcase as part of their evacuation process. Companies and organizations have also taken the initiative in training their staff on best practices concerning natural disaster preparedness. Outside of major natural catastrophes, the Red Cross plays a large role in home fi re prevention and relief efforts. Since 2014, it has partnered with local businesses and organizations such as Motorola, Florida Power and Light, and the United Way to go door to door in counties across South Florida to install free smoke alarms in homes. They also help residents develop fi re escape plans and educate them on fire prevention. “Home fi res are the number one disaster in the U.S. Some of the leading causes come from plug-in fans that short-circuit, forgetting to turn off an oven, or simply leaving a candle burning in an unsupervised room. It takes less than two minutes for a house to catch fi re. In total, the region can suffer between 5-15 home fi res per week. Outside of major natural disasters this is our main concern.” Torriani expresses her gratitude for the generosity of donors and emphasizes how the organization’s mission could not be fulfilled without their support. One of the more common concerns for people looking to donate is trying to identify reputable institutions that will allocate resources where they are most needed. For Hurricane Dorian alone, the Red Cross has pledged $6.1 million to help relief efforts in the Bahamas. For those who want to do more, the Red Cross is always in need of volunteers. To learn more on how to support the Red Cross or to donate, please visit redcross.org/SouthFlorida.

Chopin Piano Competition To Commence Feb. 22 in Miami The Chopin Foundation of the United States has set the top prize of its Tenth National Chopin Piano Competition to $100,000 for the 2020 event, making it the highest award offered by any piano competition in the country. This change showcases the need to provide appropriate compensation to artists at the top of their field, just as professionals in other industries are compensated for devoting large amounts of time, years of intense training, and a true passion to their craft. In support of the Foundation’s mission to assist the career development of American pianists, its founder and president, Mrs. Blanka A. Rosenstiel decided to increase the first place prize to $100,000 based on this sentiment. “From an early age, these talented pianists are dedicated and disciplined. Their talent and hard work deserve this kind of reward and even more,” Rosenstiel said. “The joy that their playing brings
to this chaotic world is simply priceless. I hope that once the public experiences the beauty of Chopin’s music being performed so wonderfully, they too will cherish and support these fine pianists.” In addition to the $100,000 cash prize, the winner of the National Chopin Competition will automatically be accepted to compete in the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. The Chopin Foundation also arranges an extensive concert tour in the U.S. and internationally for the first prize winner. Barbara Muze, the Foundation’s Executive Director, added: “The U.S. Competition has such a rich history with so many young American pianists getting much-needed international exposure after their success at our competition. The second prize winner will receive a cash prize of $30,000 and is also accepted to the International Chopin Competition. Third place receives $20,000
and, along with all other finalists, receives an expense-paid trip to Warsaw to compete in the International Chopin Competition’s Preliminary Round. The Competition’s jury, comprised of nine highly respected internationally renowned artists, will be chaired by Kevin Kenner, an accomplished American pianist and winner of the top prizes at the International Chopin and Tchaikovsky competitions in 1990. “The value of holding such a high caliber Chopin Competition in the U.S. for American pianists cannot be underestimated,” Kenner said. “It is tremendously instrumental in preparing these young artists for the international stage.” The Tenth National Chopin Competition will take place February 22 through March 1, 2020 in Miami. In addition, the Chopin Foundation of the United States offers a variety of performances and events throughout the year to share the love of classical piano mu-
sic and Chopin. The Chopin for All events provide high-caliber performances in beautiful locations that are free and open to the public. American pianist Dominic Muzzi will perform November 2 and 3. In 2020, A National Chopin Competition laureate will perform April 18 and 19, and May 16 and 17. For the Chopin Salon performances, attendees mix and mingle during a delightful social wine reception that follows a concert performed by some of today’s finest artists in a lovely, intimate country club ballroom. The events are free for Chopin Foundation members, and tick-
ets for the public will be on sale soon. On November 24, American pianist Sean Kennard will perform the season’s first salon, and on April 5, 2020, a laureate of the National Chopin Competition is scheduled to perform. Also, the Chopin Foundation collaborates with other organizations in the Miami area to host partnership events. On March 29, 2020, the Foundation will host a free, public event at the Key Biscayne Community Center, presented in collaboration with the Village of Key Biscayne.

The publication includes over 200 photographs and is published by Philautia, Nassau, The Bahamas. Books will be

available at the gallery for $110 This photography exhibit also aims to spark viewer wanderlust for a place where
the sweetest pineapples in the world are grown. Harbour Island, Spanish Wells, and the entire length of Eleuthera were
fortunately not damaged in the recent storm. Booking a trip to places that are operating as usual can be one of the best forms of ongoing relief for the areas in The Bahamas that are still recovering from Hurricane Dorian. The photographer’s focus on lesser-known Eleuthera horizons, paired with his lens of affection for the community and unexpected island details, will surely inspire even the most seasoned traveler to visit. Alessandro Sarno was born and raised in Italy. He has published four coffee table books portraying life in The Bahamas, as well as a unique photographic guide to Eleuthera called White Bull on the Highway. This opening reception evening is a full celebration of Eleuthera’s beauty and will benefit Exceptional Education Outreach Bahamas (EEO), with book and art sales supporting the dedication and work of this non-profit organization. Attendees can learn more about
the important work EEO is doing to ensure children with special needs in Eleuthera communities have access to innovative educational programs to help them reach their full academic and personal potential. The opening will be held at 15919 Biscayne Boulevard, North Miami Beach on Thursday, November 7 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. The public is invited. All RSVP attendees will receive a little surprise souvenir of Eleuthera. Wine and Spritz will be served. For more information, contact Osorio Art & Framing Gallery: 305-956-9007 or Alessandro Sarno: Cell: 786-925-0021, mail: asarno@me.com.

From South Grove to Opa-locka, mobility will get a South Floridastyle boost, complements of the 2019 Public Space Challenge winners. The 12 top concepts from The Miami Foundation’s annual crowdsourcing ideas contest will share $250,000 in funding to implement projects that make getting around Greater Miami easier. This year’s Challenge asked residents to submit ideas around four categories: walking, biking, streets and sidewalks, and public transit. Winning concepts will boost and improve pedestrian and cycling access and safety, as well as consider alternative modes of transit. Take, for example, the bikeway-improvement project submitted by The Friends of the Commodore Trail. The group will use their $25,000 grant to widen and clean-up the popular pathway in South Coconut Grove, making it safer and more accessible for the 76,000 residents who live within a mile of it. Nearby, neighbors in Little Havana – who use public transit three-times more than other Miamians – will see custom benches at bus and trolley stops throughout the area, thanks to Urban Health Partnerships’ $19,000 award. Those who frequent the Miami Central Business District will benefit from Avenue 3 Miami’s $22,250-improvement project, which will add lighting, shade and designated spots for alternative transportation, like scooters, along NE 3rd Avenue. “When people have access to different ways of getting around a city, it becomes easier for residents to connect with one another and the place they live,” said Dawn Shirreffs, senior director of public affairs for The Miami Foundation. Challenge-winning ideas also leverage waterways as a mode of transportation. For example, the Foundation will invest $25,000 in a pilot ferry that will provide roundtrip service between Palmetto Bay, downtown Miami and Miami Beach. Savino & Miller Design Studio will use their $25,000 in funding to build a f loating connection made of recycled and reclaimed materials under the MacArthur Causeway,

local officials alike. “I believe that a true transportation plan is multi-faceted,” said Lago. “We have challenges in South Florida relating to interconnectivity and a reliable transportation network. Rather than only relying on buses, we should first have committed funding to the Metrorail, which was long promised to the residents of the county. We are working on ways to develop a funding mechanism to deliver on this promise we made to Miami-Dade County residents, which is to use money allocated from the halfpenny surtax to deliver on the Metrorail.” Lago’s commitment to enhancing South Florida’s transportation system, while meeting modern energy conservation needs and preserving the physical and social environment of the community, is at the top of his priority legislation list. In 2017, he was appointed as a board member to the Miami Dade Transportation Planning Organization, representing the City of Coral Gables to help improve and alleviate transpor-
tation and parking difficulties. The Gables runs a free trolley service that carries over 1.2 million passengers a year and connects to the Metrorail and City of Miami Trolley. There is also a bicycle and pedestrian master plan in the works that includes creating 10.5 to 34 miles of new road and path infrastructure. The local economy is also a key focus for Lago, who is proud that the Gables was recently ranked among the best cities to start a small business by Verizon. It’s also home to over 150 multinational corporations and renowned luxury brands including Cartier, Hermes, Tiffany and others. With the economy on the upswing throughout the U.S., South Florida is benefiting with an increase in construction of residential developments and commercial space. In fact, there are currently 47 development projects in the works, with eight located downtown. This will add 3,100 new residential units and approximately 1.4 million square feet of commercial space. With all the development currently taking place, sustainability and conser-

vation is also a commitment Lago has made to Coral Gables residents. All current and future buildings over 20,000 square feet will be built to LEED Silver or equivalent standards, and all existing city facilities lighting has been converted to LED. There’s also a literal green movement with 3,000 trees and palms being planted, living up to its name as Tree City U.S.A. for over three decades. City workers use only electric vehicles, not a drop of gas needed, eliminating fumes and emissions. Coral Gables was the first city in Florida to ban plastic bags and waives solar permit fees for residents who install solar panels. “The list of improvements to transportation,
business growth and sustainable initiatives is lengthy, and I’m proud to say I won’t give up until we make Coral Gables the epitome of The City Beautiful, not only in the state of Florida, but the entire country”, underscores Lago.

Lions Club is There for Hurricane Survivors To assist with immediate relief efforts, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded a $100.000 major catastrophe grant to local Lions to support impacted families in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian. Lions District 35N covers the east coast of Florida, as far as north as Vero Beach and all the way south to the Ba-
hamas, Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. Our district’s main project at the moment is collecting emergency equipment from the various local clubs, including food, water, flash lights, tarps, generators, baby supplies and shipping them to our clubhouse in Freeport, and from there, urgently-needed items to the island of Abaco. The Bahamian government has asked us to specifically send tents, and the Key Biscayne Lions Club responded by sending 10 tents that can accommodate up to 15 people per tent and that are being allocated to the most struggling families. We are now shipping several construction materials including tarps, plywood, gypsum boards, and nails. Other clubs are donating cots, bedding & supplies. The district is planning to purchase an additional 50 of these tents and ship them out. What is not donated will be purchased with the funds donated by LCIF to our district and shipped to the Bahamas in the next four weeks.

To help the latter, and under supervision of a qualified contractor, we will train men and women to perform various tasks, hence teach skills to make them employable, and part of the force in reconstructing the Bahamas. We will ask the Bahamian government to pay victims a small stipend while working in their home; upon completion of the work, they could be certified in those particular specialties.

ally interesting way. “Mrs. Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who was President John F. Kennedy’s sister, was a huge advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities. She and the President worked with Congress to establish the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), one of the National Institutes of Health and now named after her. The purpose of the NICHD was to promote research on developmental disabilities. Mrs. Shriver and President Kennedy were committed to moving individuals with developmental disabilities who were in institutional care into community settings. She and Dr. Robert E. Cooke, who was the Chairman of Pediatrics at John Hopkins School of Medicine, worked together on a way to develop a workforce of professionals to support this shift. Dr. Cooke had two children with developmental disabilities.” “Mrs. Shriver and Dr. Cooke were playing tennis at the Kennedy Home in Hyannis Port Massachusetts, on the Cape.” Dr. Armstrong continues, “I actually had a chance to speak with each of them. Mrs. Shriver said she was beating him badly and Dr. Cooke said that he

But at any rate, they didn’t finish the match because Dr. Cook said, ‘If you’re really going to move individuals out of institutions into community settings, you’re going to have to have an entirely new workforce that knows how to deal with the challenges that these folks will face in a non-institutional setting.’ Mrs. Shriver

replied ‘Well, go upstairs and put some things down on paper.’ Dr. Cooke agreed and drafted a proposal that created the idea for University Affiliated Facilities, buildings that housed training programs in developmental disabilities that were partially funded by the federal government through competitive grants as well as local philanthropy.” “There were 11 original centers across the nation, and the Mailman Center at the University of Miami was one of those original 11. Funding for the Mailman Center came from a federal grant, the Joseph P Kennedy Foundation based in Palm Beach, and from two local bankers, Abraham and Joseph Mailman. Thus, the name of the Mailman Center that has nothing to do with the post office and everything to do with the vision and commitment of these philanthropists.” Dr. Armstrong states, “The groundbreaking event for the center was in 1971; the keynote speaker was the very famous Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget, and it was attended by a whole host of dignitaries including Mrs. Eunice Shriver and Senator Ted Kennedy. There is an interesting side story. Mrs. Lane Coleman, the mother of a teenager with a disability was at the time the executive secretary for the president of the University of Miami. The Mailman Center was actually located right under the main flight path for Eastern Airlines. With planes flying in and out, you can imagine that in 1971,

Our graduates are practicing and providing care in about two-thirds of Florida’s 67 counties, and we have graduates working in at least 32 states and a number of other countries. We also have pipeline leadership training programs for high school students, self-advocates, and community professionals. We’ve had a big impact in professional workforce and leadership training.” Dr. Armstrong feels it’s a phenomenal opportunity and privilege to be able to be the director. When asked about the Mailman Center’s programs, he indicates that on the clinical side, the staff provides services to about 15,000 children a year in South Florida as well as outside the state. “We do that in a number of ways. Some of the programs are center based. We have Mailman Center faculty who work as part of teams in many of the clinical and chronic illness programs, in addition to more traditional developmental and disabilities programs. We have a program for developmental follow-up of children who were born prematurely or small for gestational age; we have fac-

Airport and Eastern Airlines agreed, and air traffic was diverted for four hours for the opening of the center!” The Center initially opened to trained professionals in multiple disciplines such as pediatric and child psychology, audiology, nutrition, speech and language pathology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, etc. The Center’s programs are funded from multiple sources, with core funding from the Administration on Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities. Dr. Armstrong says, “We are written into Federal Legislation in the Developmental Disabilities Act of 2000 that specifically designates the Mailman Center as a University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. Our Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, or LEND program, funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, allows us to provide training for about 70 to 80 Masters, Doctoral, and Postdoctoral students working in developmental disabilities each year. These trainees represent 14 or 15 different discipline backgrounds. They come here to learn how to provide care, get involved in leadership, and

All of these conditions involve things that affect the developing brain.” The Center has relationships with more than 100 different programs within the University and in the South Florida community, including the United Way, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Special Olympics, and Florida’s Children’s Medical Services. A special relationship with the University of Miami Ear Institute allows most of the children who receive Cochlear implants for deafness to be followed at the Debbie School, a program of the Mailman Center for birth to five year old children with hearing loss as well as birth to three year olds with developmental disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, Fragile X syndrome, and Down’s syndrome. “About 25 years ago, we became one of the first programs in the country to

implement inclusion at the Early Childhood levels. In all of the Debbie School classes, about half of the children have a disability of some sort, and they’re provided care here through contracts with the Miami Dade County Public Schools.” Dr. Armstrong goes on to clarify, “And then about half of the children are typically developing; many of them are the children of our faculty and staff here at the medical campus. We usually have about a hundred and forty children on the waiting list for the typically developing program. The programs, over the years, have really been able to demonstrate that we can accelerate and improve development in children with developmental disabilities. Plus, the children who are typically developing also benefit from the inclusion focus.” Dr. Armstrong explains, “A few years ago, we followed-up children from the Debbie School when they were about 8 years old, (about third grade). We found that these children were less aggressive, more socially sensitive, and embodied a lot of characteristics that parents hope their children will have. We can pretty much directly link that to the fact that they had those early experiences with children who were different on an everyday basis. Inclusion has been one of the core principles of the program for over 30 years.” According to Dr. Armstrong, the Debbie School has a strong speech & language development program for children with hearing loss, along with psychology, physical therapy, occupa-
tional therapy. One project, funded by the US Department of Education, is using assistive technology (iPads) to promote language development in Spanishspeaking young children under five who are on the autism spectrum disorder. The Center has also started an innovative Family Navigator program that helps families negotiate the complex state and federal systems of services, and each year works with the MiamiDade County Public Schools to recognize the artistic abilities of children with disabilities through the the ArtAbilities Program. More than 200 pieces of artwork are in the Mailman Center’s ArtAbilities collection. They also have a host of programs that are out in the community, many of which are funded by the Children’s Trust or Florida’s Children’s Medical Services. Dr. Armstrong expounds, “We have a program that identifies children whose parents are at higher risk for potential abuse, triages them on the basis of that risk, and then provides different levels of intervention. This may include education with some coaching or may involve intense therapeutic intervention. These programs occur in a community setting and are run in partnership with schools, churches, synagogues and community centers all through the County. Our Early Steps program assists more than 4,000 children identified with potential developmental disabilities each year, and the Child Protection Team supports more than 3,000 children who are victims of child abuse or neglect.

We are working in a number of communities to help build the capacity of those communities to provide those services and have strong partnerships with the Overtown and East Little Havana communities, where we are focusing on the intersection between diversity and disability. We do a lot of Outreach in that respect.” The Center is one of the three or four largest centers in the United States and is recognized for leadership at different levels. Faculty are involved in many different kinds of research, ranging from the laboratory to community implementation. Thanks to research conducted at the Mailman Center, premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit all over the world are now touched and held
by their parents and staff instead of being kept in incubators. As a result, they grow faster and are able to leave the hospital earlier. The Center faculty has been involved in studies of cognitive and behavioral development in children infected with HIV, including one that resulted in a reduction of transmission rates of pediatric HIV from mothers to children from over 30% to less than 2%. This study is estimated to have led to more than than two million lives saved worldwide, in addition to helping these surviving children experience typical early development. “Our vision statement for the Mailman Center is a simple one- it’s improving lives through innovation, impact, and connection,” notes Dr. Armstrong. “Everything we do includes all three of these features.” For more information on The Mailman Center for Child Development at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, please visit http://pediatrics. med.miami.edu/mailman-center.

For instance, the non-profit offers Sofiacare, a holistic approach to meeting the needs of caregivers and isolated older adults with training, rapid response programs, and advocacy. Programs and services available through Sofiacare include Caregiver Coalition of South Florida, which includes business and community leaders who work to identify the top issues facing caregivers, as well as the Friendly Visitor Program, which helps alleviate isolation and reconnects older LGBT adults with others. In addition, there is Legacy Corps, a caregiver and

Also, as part of this initiative, there’s the Senior Companion Program, which provides senior companionship for elderly individuals living alone.”

Kaldes noted that the organization has made quite an impact thus far in the South Florida aging community, which it serves daily. “This past year, SoFIA’s 500 experienced senior volunteers provided over a quarter of a million hours to serve nearly 2,000 residents including: veterans who received the mentoring of fellow veterans; seniors, disabled adults and caregivers who were enabled to live independently through caregiving and companionship programs. We also witnessed children in underserved communities who saw a 90 percent improvement in literacy skills through the Foster Grandparent program and over 250 seniors who graduated from SoFIA’s technology courses,” shared Kaldes as some of the non-profit’s recent accomplishments. “SoFIA takes a unique approach to serving South Florida’s aging population. As a non-profit think and act tank, SoFIA creates and delivers socio-economic support programs for South Florida seniors to help them thrive,” added Kaldes. When it comes to the Institute, there is a plethora of success stories. These in-

The Sagamore Miami Beach Hotel presents an innovative, immersive and educational fine art exhibition. A first of its kind in the region, “I’m Not a Trophy” by Arno Elias will be an exhibition entirely dedicated to endangered species and indigenous cultures that is centered on the work of the esteemed French artist and wildlife photographer. Slated to open in early December 2019 during Art Week, “I’m Not a Trophy” by Arno Elias will remain on view through February 2020. The exhibit will open to the public on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 and the Sagamore Hotel will host a VIP Opening Reception at 9 p.m. following the vernissage at the Miami Convention Center. “I’m Not a Trophy” is titled after the charitable organization founded by Elias dedicated to creating greater awareness for the rapid extinction of endangered species and indigenous cultures around the world through a visually compelling campaign. Curated by Sebastien Laboureau, the resident art advisor of The Sagamore Hotel, pieces featured in “I’m Not a Trophy” by Arno Elias are presented in partnership with Markowitz Fine Art, the exclusive representative of Arno Elias in South Florida. Pieces on display will include iconic African animals, such as lions, elephants, rhinoceros, gorillas, giraffes, cheetahs and the last of wild tigers in India, but also numerous portraits and artefacts from some of the African Tribes whose lives also depend on a fragile ecosystem. Other artworks on display will be from international guest
artists who are involved with the cause. “We are using this exhibition as a way to bring awareness to the increased threat to the very existence of wild animals due to trophy hunting, poaching and habitat loss from human urbanization,” says Arno Elias, artist, photographer and charity founder. “There is an urgency for social and political change on the topic of killing as a sport and we want to contribute by displaying fine art that depicts the species at most risk if we don’t take immediate action.” “I’m Not a Trophy” by Arno Elias presented by The Sagamore Hotel will also showcase works of art by guest artists who illustrate the world of endangered species globally. The exhibition will encompass all media, including photographs, videos, paintings, and sculptures and will be displayed in almost every public space of the hotel.

Following a Years-Long Restoration Process, Rare, Pre-17th Century Stained Glass Panels to Be Unveiled Tonight at the Deering Estate Two rare, pre-17th century, stainedglass panels depicting the Holy Family’s Flight Into Egypt will be on permanent display at the Deering Estate for the public. Each piece depicts the traditional Flight into Egypt motif, the Holy Family’s journey to escape violence in their homeland from King Herod. The historic significance of these pieces cannot be overstated, as very few stained glass representations of religious art from this period have survived centuries marked by the ravages of war, political upheavals and natural deterioration. Across Europe, additional losses were sustained to the artifacts from that era, as “less important” assemblages went unprotected from the bombings during the First World War. After World War II, European governments placed restrictions on export of such national heritage pieces, further limiting the existence of such treasures in the United States. Of the stained-glass panels from that era that have survived, there are only 14 other pieces on public display in Florida.
Additional Information Believed to have originally hung in separate chapels, the pieces were brought together as part of Charles Deering's vast and comprehensive art collection and hung together in the Stone House at the Deering Estate as described in his 1924 inventory. Separated upon the death of Charles Deering, the pieces are now reunited, thanks in part to the generosity of the estate of Barbara Deering Strachan Danielson. Before going back on public display in the Stone House, each piece has undergone a complete restoration, funded by the 100 Ladies of Deering, two private donors, numerous individual gifts and The Deering Estate Foundation through the a grant from the Charles Deering McCormick Fund. Each piece depicts the traditional Flight into Egypt motif, the Holy Family’s journey to escape violence in their homeland instigated by King Herod.

The restoration of the two stained glass panels required artisans who were knowledgeable and trained in the meticulous crafting of stained glass works of art produced in the medieval period.

Young Patronesses of the Opera Annual Gala is An Evening Where No One Sleeps On November 2, 2019, leading philanthropists and music lovers will come together for the Young Patronesses of the Opera (YPO) annual gala to raise funds for music education. This year’s black-tie affair “An Evening Where No One Sleeps”, to be held at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami, draws inspiration from one of the most beloved arias in all of opera — the soul-stirring ‘Nessun Dorma’ from Turandot by Giacomo Puccini. YPO’s gala will be equally as uplifting, and so exciting no one will want to miss a minute. YPO’s 2019-2020 President Marianne Kircher is joined by dynamic co-chairs Marta Alfonso, Magita Rojas and Lurenda Turner in presenting this magnificent evening. “We will be recreating the majesty and mystery of Beijing’s ancient Forbidden City,” said Kircher, “which is the setting for Puccini’s Turandot”. Décor for the elegant gala will recall a Ming courtyard, the grandeur of the Imperial Palace, and a Zen Garden. In homage to the composer of ‘Nessun Dorma,’ the Puccini Room will feature wine from one of the most re-
spected wineries in the maestro’s native Tuscany, Casanova di Neri. The legendary Silk Road will be recreated as the setting for the benefit’s silent auction which will feature over 100 luxury items and trip opportunities. A Sea Dream Yacht Club cruise, a wine tour of Portugal, a villa in Bali, a stay at The Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda and four nights in a 13th century monastery located along Italy’s Amalfi Coast are among the once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences that will be offered. One of the recurring elements of the evening will be an oft overlooked instrument – the gong. When Puccini was working on what was to be his final opera, he included a complex arrangement for percussion, featuring tubular bells, a glockenspiel and gongs that sounded at key moments throughout the performance. Unable to find gongs that gave the exact resonance he wanted, Puccini turned to bellmaker and commissioned a set of 13 to be manufactured to capture that exact ethereal sounds of ancient China he sought. Sadly,

Puccini died before finishing the last act of Turandot and never heard those magnificent instruments in full performance. Turandot has become one of the most performed op-
eras around the world, although the correct timber of the gongs continues to challenge conductors who seek to capture the most authentic rendition of this masterpiece.
Ticke t s t o ‘A n Eve n i ng Where No One Sleeps’ start at $400 and may be purchased at www.YPO-Miami.org/Gala. To learn more about YPO visit www.YPO-Miami.org .

Proceeds will benefit the charitable services that provide free quality healthcare to the underserved in both Miami and abroad. “We are thrilled to partner again with the St. John Bosco Clinic for this great event,” says Juan Jose Calvo, President of the Order of Malta. “We are also excited for our new venue, Nightlife Brewing Co, which helps us communicate to younger generations that giving is part of
the enjoyment of life and part of the legacy of who we are as residents of Miami.” The event will begin at 7:00 p.m., and the music will continue to midnight. General admission tickets are $125, which include beer, wine, delicious food, and great music from 7pm - midnight. A liquor cash bar will also be available. “This is a very special event for us every year,” says Berta Cabrera, Executive Director of SSJ Health Foundation and St. John Bosco Clinic. “It’s the most beautiful time of the year in Miami and Nightlife has an amazing outdoor stage; the Rachelle Coba Band and People You Know are wonderful musicians, and of course the most important part of the night is everyone who comes out to help ensure healthcare access for those we serve. It’s an evening no one will forget!” This year, the festival is presented by Mas Medical Group and sponsored by International Data Depository, Miami
