Remembering Edith Sorin

JANUARY 2020 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 6

The Piano Music World lost one of its great souls.

December 31st was the last day of 2019 and at One Hundred and Three Years Old, Edith did not live to welcome the New Year.

Most of her long life was dedicated to nurturing young piano artists. She was a revered member of the faculty of the Julliard School of Music in New York. Numerous students will treasure her memory.

After she moved to Florida, Edith continued to help and guide young pianists and in 1997 she cofounded the Miami International Piano Festival with Giselle Brodsky. The Festival is now Twenty-Three Years Old and Twenty – Six concerts are performed each year in Dade and Broward Counties by international performers.

For all those who would like to honor her memory, they may contribute to the Miami International Piano Festival Academy Scholarship Fund, miami pianofestacademy.com/ scholarship-funds/. The Scholarship Fund aids pianists around the world who would otherwise be denied access to a chance to become one of the piano greats.

Honoring her memory all concerts at the Aventura Cultural Center will be dedicated to her.

Laser Vision Correction Is Changing Lives Dr. Stanley Braverman Continues To Help Make Vision Dreams Come True

Dr. Stanley Braverman and patient Irina Bashmakova, who has had problems with her eyes for as long as she can remember.

JANUARY 2020 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 8

Hollywood - For as long as she can remember, Irina Bashmakova has had problems with her eyes.

Wearing glasses since the second grade - and contacts since her early teens, the 30-year-old stay at home mother was very near sighted and was searching for laser surgery that would correct the problem and eliminate the glasses or contacts.

While she had the problem, it wasn’t new to her family. Nearsightedness, or Myopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which people can see close objects clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. People with Myopia can have difficulty clearly seeing a movie or TV screen or the whiteboard while they are in school.

Irina found that Myopia occurs if the eyeball is too long or the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) is too curved. As a result, the light entering the eye isn’t focused correctly, and distant objects look blurred.

Because she realized that something needed to be done - Irina began asking around for the best area doctor and eye center. That is how she discovered the Braverman Eye Center and Dr. Stanley Braverman.

When she came in for her consultation, Irina was blown away by the new Hollywood office as well as everyone who was involved. It was something she never expected.

“I remember reading about the patients who had different procedures done,” she recalled. “The one thing that I took away from those articles in the Sun Times Newspaper was how Dr. Braverman and his staff were talked about often for the way they handled each patient. That was a huge selling point and also made me feel so much at ease.”

So, last October, after consulting with Dr. Braverman, who explained every facet of the procedure, Irina embarked on a journey that would eliminate the blurry vision and replace it with clear eyesight. It truly left her speechless.

“All I could remember, after the surgery, when I had no problem seeing, that I started to cry,” she recalled. “It was the first time in my life that I could ever remember seeing so clearly. It was indeed life-changing.”

As she recovered from the Laser Vision Correction (PRK) and felt better and better every day, Irina was ready to recommend the procedure, Dr. Braverman,

the professional staff and the state-of-theart facility, to anyone and everyone who would listen.

“I can understand how people would be apprehensive about anything to do with their eyes,” she said. “But after everything I experienced, I would tell everyone to check it out. It has really made a difference in my life.

What To Expect With Z-lasik Surgery All Laser Z-Lasik surgery is performed on a patient’s cornea, which provides most of the focusing power when light enters the eye. Topical anesthetic drops are applied to the eye. The surgeon first uses a special Ziemer LDV femtosecond laser to create a thin layer of corneal tissue that can be folded back (a corneal flap). Then, another type of laser (an Allegretto Eye-Q excimer laser) is used to reshape the underlying cornea, painlessly.

After the excimer laser treatment, the corneal flap is repositioned and bonds back into place naturally. The corneal reshaping improves the focusing power of the cornea. Although no one can promise patients “perfect” vision, most Laser Vision Correction patients with mild to

moderate prescriptions with or without astigmatism, do achieve 20/20 or better vision.

About Dr. Stanley Braverman Dr. Stanley Braverman is a Voluntary Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine’s Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital/Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. He is also an Adjunct Associate Clinical Professor at the Nova Southeastern School of Optometry and the official LASIK and Cataract Surgeon for the Florida Panthers.

Along with treating patients, Dr. Braverman, a board certified ophthalmologist, has been a medical researcher, and is the inventor of several eye surgical instruments, and author of many articles for medical journals. Dr. Braverman’s newly trademarked LACE™ procedure (Laser Assisted Cataract Extraction) provides the best possible cataract surgical results. He has lectured at professional meetings about upgraded lens implants, advanced cataract surgery and LASIK, both nationally and internationally. He has been recognized

The Aventura International Film Series continues with Cyrano, My Love on Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center.

Set in December 1897, Paris, the film follows Edmond Rostand, who is not yet thirty, but already has two children and too much anxiety. He has not written anything for two years. In desperation, he offers the great Constant Coquelin a new play, a heroic comedy, in verse, for the holidays. There’s one problem: it is not yet written. Ignoring the whims of actresses, the demands of his producers, the jealousy of his wife, the stories of his best friend’s heart and the lack of enthusiasm of all those around him, Edmond must focus and put pen to paper. For now, he has only the title: “Cyrano de Bergerac.”

Not rated, this film is from France with English subtitles.

The Aventura International Film Series presented by the City of Aventura is hosted by Shelly Isaacs who introduces the film and leads a post-screening discussion. Isaacs is founder, programmer and commentator for South Florida’s popular Café Cinematheque International programs. Isaacs holds a master’s degree in Media Ecology Studies from New York University, where he served as an adjunct professor in cultural studies.

Presently, he teaches foreign-language film appreciation in the Lifelong Learning Society at Florida Atlantic University and at Florida International University. He is the film expert for Celebrity Cruise Lines during their annual voyage to the Cannes International Film Festival as well as on

other scheduled film-related cruises throughout the world.

World Of Smoke And Vape: Innovators Of The Smoke Shop Industry

By Austin Torres

JANUARY 2020 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 14

When you enter World of Smoke & Vape Aventura you enter the future of smoke shops.

The sunlight steadily pours in as you are greeted by various smiles from an eager team whose desire to serve and assist is immediately recognizable and distinguishes them from your typical smoke shop employees. A multitude of high-end products line the shelves and sit behind pristine glass. Water and glass pipes of varying sizes for first timers and avid collectors, recently popularized vaporizers for dry herb as well as vape liquid, smoking accessories such as grinders and papers, and as authorized Juul retailers they also provide Juul devices, Juul pods, disposable pods, and medicinal CBD products to soothe anxiety and joint pain,

not just for people but for pets as well. The partners at World of Smoke and Vape, who have expanded the brand to include stores in Aventura, Brickell, Ft. Lauderdale, Kendall, and Palmetto Bay, had a vision for a smoke shop that would transcend the typical and cliché smoke shop and invite customers into a space with a different kind of décor, and a new level of customer appreciation.

Oscar Martorell, who spent fourteen years working in hotel management and hospitality, before partnering up with his longtime friend to expand the World of Smoke and Vape brand, understands customer appreciation. Oscar tells us that customers are always number one, and World of Smoke and Vape makes it their mission to provide a new level of luxury smoke shop cus-

and fostering a unique and welcoming environment, Tatiana’s knowledge and love of her profession has created a remarkable reputation for her. Her commitment to her customers and keeping the store clean is unwavering.

Several of the customers that shop at World of Smoke and Vape are regulars who have been coming for nearly two and half years.

Tatiana and the team at World of Smoke and Vape believe in educating all of their guests on the products they’re interested in.

Tatiana goes as far as looking at reviews and doing additional real-time research with customers to figure out what their needs are, and if the particular product they’re interested in will fulfill those needs. Tatiana goes above and beyond to ensure that guests at World of Smoke and Vape know every detail about a product before they purchase it. This kind of world-class customer service is what drives guests back to World of Smoke and Vape so often.

Tatiana believes in creating a comfortable atmosphere where customers can feel at home.

Guests often come to World of Smoke and Vape and chat for hours with the staff, laughing and cracking jokes. A feeling of being welcomed is palpable and contagious, as guests often times bring their friends to the shop where they too are greeted with an inviting wave of joy. Tatiana tells us that smoking and vaping

are social acts, but also personal.

So, it’s important for the staff at World of Smoke and Vape to adapt to all of their guests and make them feel comfortable and at home. When asked what her favorite part of working at World of Smoke and Vape is, Tatiana said that it’s the atmosphere that the store brings and the wonderful relationships that she and the staff share with their customers.

Likewise, knowledge about products and developing trends in the market are of high importance to the team at World of Smoke and Vape. To make sure they are up to date on all the latest changes in the industry Oscar makes tri-monthly trips to conventions both locally and out of state, including locations such as Orlando, Denver, and most recently, Las Vegas, to meet with major distributors. With a constant commitment to researching the hottest, newest, and best products, Oscar and his team are the first to preorder the latest products.

When CBD, which has recently exploded in the last twelve months, first came to Aventura it was World of Smoke and Vape who were one of first the ones to carry the products.

CBD which is used to alleviate anxiety, inflammation, and the effects of Parkinson’s and cancer, is now a top product, and World of Smoke and Vape is constantly offering the newest and best versions of it.

As a native of North Miami, Oscar saw the same formulaic trend that smoke shops were using, from the Rasta colors, to the dim clandestine lights, and the uninvolved employees, and began to see a vision for a future with a new kind of smoke shop.

One that was both welcoming and inviting, with a brighter ambience and customer service that prided itself on a profound knowledge of their products as well as a genuine love of their clientele.

While learning the industry, Oscar met Tatiana Perez, who he later invited to manage the Aventura World of Smoke and Vape when it opened in August of 2017.

Plant-based Festival To Be Held February 9th At Gulfstream Park

JANUARY 2020 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 16

We all want to live a long and healthier life, right? If you haven’t already started this journey, now is your time. And, if you already are on track, you have an opportunity to enrich your trip.

So, get your taste buds ready!

With more vendors and more flavor than before, the 2nd Annual Plant-Based Festival will be held at Gulfstream Park Village, South Florida’s premier entertainment destination, on Sunday, Feb. 9 from 11:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. The event will showcase the latest in food, drink and plant-based goods coming to The Village Center. The festival, located in the Gulfstream Park Village shopping area, will feature a main stage for presenters, music, giveaways from merchants, 60+ plant-based vendors, and contests for the kids. The event is family-friendly and free to attend.

The 2nd Annual Plant-Based Festival might be the gamechanger that points you in the right direction for your health.

“It will be a day of food, drink and fashion that can direct people to live happy, fulfilled lives while making positive contri-

butions to the community,” says Alex Schreer, Director of Experiential Marketing for Madison Marquette who represents Gulfstream Park Village.

The Village Center at Gulfstream Park will be transformed into a village of food trucks, consumer goods, and some surprises still in the works.

Food vendors will be serving unique, delicious organic food.

Eco-products and plant-based clothing, as well as oils, soaps, plants, and hemp products will be available. Healthy drinks will be accessible at several sites.

Aventura Hospital’s Nutrition and Diabetes Educator Michelle Larea will be introducing the event and discussing why plantbased diets and lifestyles are positive for human health and the Earth.

Attendees should come ready for fun and ready to eat by bringing their own reusable water bottle, cup or cutlery to cut down on waste. Alternatives will be available, but every little bit helps!

Inspired by the City’s Plastic Straw Ban, Gulfstream Park Village will be giving away multicolor stainless-steel reusable

straws to the first 500 attendees.

Why an emphasis on Plant-based living?

According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) International Medicine in 2016, high animal protein intake was positively associated with cardiovascular mortality, whereas high plant-based protein intake had just the opposite effect, especially among individuals with at least one lifestyle risk factor. Many studies since then have shown that modification in a diet that reduces red meat shows a marked decrease in cardiovascular incidents, resulting in an increase in longevity.

As far as the environmental impact of a meat-based society, the Hippocrates Institute, named in honor of the ancient Greek physician who recorded the first medical case studies, printed a report back in 2012 stating that “Greenhouse gases attributed to livestock are more than double that of transportation emissions.” The report also noted that livestock are fed 35%

of the world’s grains, while large pockets of the world go hungry.

And that was back in 2012.

There are countless books and a myriad of literature available online to know more about plant-based living and the positive effects of vegan diets; you can start with the International Vegan Association website. There also are many podcasts and software avenues that educate and assist in resources and competitive pricing for vegan foods and plant-based products.

But, as a real starter, you can begin face-to-face with experts, information and resources right at your fingertips on February 9th at Gulfstream Park Village.

Join your friends and neighbors on a day that may impact your life, but most importantly, improve your health.

When: Sunday, Feb. 9 from 11:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Where: Gulfstream Park Village 901 S. Federal Hwy, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009 - just two miles east of I-95. 954-454-7000 Cost: Free to attend

HEALTH pHreshen the pHunk Up! Here are a few things that will keep you in control of your feminine health (BPT) - The vagina is a delicate ecosystem that must be maintained at a normal pH of 3.8-4.5, the same pH as beer, if you can believe it! Everyday events like blood with your period, sex, soaps, certain medications and the water in a douche can all elevate the natural vaginal balance, because those elements have a pH of 7.5 or 8. When the pH is disrupted, you might experience burning, itching or an unpleasant odor.

What to do? OB/GYN, Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., offers the following tips.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and cranberry juice, as it’s good for the bladder, and the acidity helps balance pH levels to relieve UTI symptoms.

Foods high in sugar can increase the risk of yeast infections. So, avoid processed foods, alcohol and sugary drinks, and eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains

to help prevent yeast issues and UTIs. Most vaginal odor is not the result of poor hygiene. The secret is to keep the vaginal pH balanced, instead of just masking the problem with scented soaps, fragrance sprays, irritating wipes and pads that can be harmful to delicate tissue. Over-the-counter RepHresh Gel does just that. It keeps the pH balanced to the normal pH and eliminates odor for up to three days. Lingering bacteria can cause odor too. If you douche, remember to balance pH immediately after with one application of RepHresh, or use a RepHresh Clean Balance kit that includes both a cleaning solution and pH balancer all-inone.

Yeast infections are common because yeast tends to grow in warm, moist areas. Change out of wet bathing suits and tight exercise clothing right after that run, bike or hike and when douching to cleanse the yeast,

remember it can actually destroy the healthy pH balance. That’s why it’s important to restore normal pH right after douching.

Symptoms of a yeast infection can include odorless and sometimes thick discharge, itching and burning.

Many women think they have a yeast infection when they actually have bacterial vaginosis (BV ), an increase of “bad” bacteria, usually caused by unbalanced pH. Symptoms of BV are often similar, but the discharge produced generally has an unpleasant odor. If you aren’t sure whether you have BV or a yeast infection, see your doctor for a proper diagnosis and solution.

While there are yogurts that add probiotics to promote digestive health and immunity, no yogurts are shown to maintain vaginal health. RepHresh Pro-B

is different from other probiotics, lactobacillus and acidophilus products because it is clinically shown to provide healthy pro-

tips, you can stay healthy and decrease the risk of vaginal issues and unpleasant odor and itch.

biotic lactobacillus that work to balance yeast and bacteria. With one capsule taken daily, you can help maintain vaginal flora in a normal healthy range.

By remembering a few simple

ERA POWERED

Embrace timeless design elements for a lasting aesthetic (BPT) - As trends transition in and out of style, an understanding of what takes a space beyond temporary can help achieve a truly timeless design.

Whether it’s blending the past with the present for a new take on traditional, or selecting decor and furnishings with a quiet, yet self-assured air, certain elements will establish endurance and ensure an aesthetic that is - and always will remain relevant.

Enduring interiors Curate a space that will withstand the test of time by opting for clean lines and even proportions to create an unobtrusive look that will remain effortlessly in style. For a sense of depth and character, consider textured wallpaper, or an authentic rosewood coffee table that will develop a natural patina over time.

To further establish staying power, select a complementary neutral palette of soft gray or sandy beige, then accent the clean canvas with quintessential jewel tones for stately elegance.

Classic cues Invite the past to the present, blending influences from the Edwardian Era and sensibilities from the Machine Age for timeless appeal. Incorporate a modern revival of classic forms with the Invari Bath Collection by Brizo. Subtle design elements display intricate craftsmanship in every graceful nuance, from hand-assembled linchpin joints to finely ridged coining for an artisanal touch. Finishing details, such as black crystal knob handles, elevate the overall look, bringing adornment into a space without excess.

Quiet confidence A sense of poise and purpose helps to achieve an ageless aesthetic. Select perfectly scaled furnishings that enhance the design, while also serving an intentional role.

Opt for fewer, more distinguished elements that can easily transform to changing tastes.

Consider a stately stone fireplace to ground the space, or tasteful, yet surprising elements, such

as lacquered cherry wood walls or scalloped wainscoting. For an overall cultivated tone, add worldly accents such as a decorative sculpture to create a visually striking and self-assured focal point, then position dramatic uplighting, giving it an almost regal air.

Outlasting elements Take time to curate a space without granting trends too much influence, whether it be a patient search for an antique mirror or a large-scale painting that boasts modern, yet classic styles for a transitional effect.

Make design decisions that lend versatility across aesthetics, from built-in, vaulted bookshelves in the living room, to lustrous tile flooring in the bath space for a clean, polished look.

Where possible, maintain a sense of forethought and incorporate decor that is easily adaptable. Elements such as elegant pendant lighting or lush linens can be updated easily to fit current trends, carrying the space seamlessly through time.
