Una de las principales hazañas a las que se en-frentan los padres ocurre cuando llega lahora de escoger una escuela para sus hijos.

Esta tarea, que de por sí puede parecer abrumadora,se hace aún más complicada cuando se desconocenlas opciones y los mecanismos de este país, distintosa los de nuestros lugares de origen. Muchas familiastratan de encontrar una institución que encaje per-fectamente con sus expectativas, mientras sorteancantidades interminables de información sobre las in-stalaciones, el personal y las filosofías educativas decada escuela.

Tunnel-visioned in a world where the “I” takes centerstage, Generation Me’ers, also referred to as theMillenials (born between 1982 and 1999) are running

a catch-22 race to nowhere. In her lucid, bold and witty ex-posé Generation Me, San Diego State University professor ofpsychology, Dr. Jean W. Twenge, PhD, proves that the iGene-ration is more brash, confident, permissive and ambitious- yetmore distrustful, narcissistic, disengaged, anxious, and mise-rable than the preceding generations. Responses from 11 millionyoung adults in more than 30 studies found that GenMe ismore self-focused, self-important, less humble, and moreindividualistic than Baby Boomers (1943-1960), and Genera-tion X (1961-81) at the same age. Unlike the Boomers, whofocused on introspection, meaning, self-fulfillment, changingthe world, and spirituality in action, the coddled, center-of-the-universe adults of GenMe display a blasé attitude, apreoccupation with self-gratification, and a ‘let it all hang out’philosophy. The studies showed that our attitudes andpersonality are more influenced by when we were born thanthe family who raised us. “Young people do not raise them-selves- they absorb the culture around them. As that cultureshifts, so do the generations”, explains Twenge. For the Gen-Me’ers whose buoyant childhood breeded high expec-tations, hubris about their uniqueness or supremacy, upliftingaphorisms (“You can be anything you want to be”) and avision of material wealth, “the gap between what they haveand what they want has never been greater,” argues RoperYouth Reporter director Joan Chiaramonte.Unlike generations past, the iGeneration does not place duty

before self and is less civically engaged and group-orientedthan its predecessors. The GenMe’ers, whose lives revolvearound feeling good about themselves and who place apremium on their own needs ironically find their growingself-reliance to be a double-edged sword- yielding a societysuffering from the “YO-YO” (You’re On Your Own)syndrome. While GenMe is the most tolerant generation inU.S. history, it is paradoxically absentee when it comes tohelping others and stepping up to the plate of moral responsi-bility. “Society has become increasingly callous and me-centered,” underscores Corinne Gregory, founder of a classcalled the PoliteChild.According to researcher Sara Konrath, the number of books

citing self-esteem increased more than two-fold between the1940s and the 1990s. When self-esteem programs are intro-duced, children are “encouraged to believe that it is accept-able and desirable to be preoccupied with oneself and praiseoneself,” points out John Hewitt in The Myth of Self-Esteem.A study of high school students conducted by researcherDonald McCabe found that the majority believed that the endsjustified the means and endorsed the “succeed-at-all-costs”mentality. Twenge cautions against unconditional validationthat is doled out without any regard to one’s behavior. “We’vegiven [children] this cotton-candy sense of self with no basisin reality,” says a longtime elementary school teacher inTennessee. “It doesn’t do much good to encourage a child tofeel good about himself just to feel good,” underscoresTwenge. Family studies professor Robert Billingham lamentsthe lack of parental authority, noting that “parents are nolonger eager to be ‘parents’. They want to love and guide theirchildren as a trusted friend.“ “True self-confidence comes

from honing your talents and learning things, not from beingtold you’re great just because you exist,” adds Twenge. Herresearch showed that in 2009, the average college studentscored higher in narcissism than a majority of students in1982, the former more centered on wealth acquisition, fame,and image than on finding meaning and purpose in life and onremedying social and economic ills.Between 1960 and 2008, American books mentioned “stand

up for yourself” 6 times more often, “I love me” 6.7 times,“love yourself” 5.7 times, “learned about myself” 4.6 times,“believe in yourself” 6.5 times, and “express yourself” 3 times.The increased presence in American books of egocentricwords such as “get” and declining use of collective wordssuch as “give”, as shown by UCLA psychologist PatriciaGreenfield, pretty much sums up the cultural status quo thesepast few decades. As Twenge indicates, Generation Me-buttressed by the media selling relentlessly the “I”- has takenus to a new level, one of hyper-individualism. “For example,the self-focused phrases are not just individualistic- they’realso, well, wrong. ‘Just be yourself’ sounds like good adviceat first, but what if you’re a jerk? What if you’re a serial killer?… ‘You have to love yourself first’ has a crucial flaw: Peoplewho really love themselves are called narcissists, and theymake horrible relationship patterns,” she writes. Narcissism rears its ugly head in the reality shows, Twitter

follower competitions, and self-aggrandizing song lyricsepitomized in Kanye West’s “I am a god”. GenMe has alsobeen dubbed “The Entitlement Generation”, entitlement beinga facet of narcissism- the notion that one is more deservingthan others. Narcissistic behavior manifests itself in inflatedexpectations, absence of empathy and concern for others, apronounced materialism, disengagement and reluctanceto commit, deceit, and bullying. Data from large surveysfrom around the country showed that, compared to othergenerations, GenMe’ers donated less to charities, were lesslikely to modify their behavior to help others, were lessempathetic towards other groups, and were more reluctant toseek out a job “directly helpful to others”.The decline in decorum, social etiquette, and a growing

informality and laisser-aller was, as relayed by Twenge,perfectly illustrated in July 2005, when members of auniversity’s lacrosse team wore flip flops when visiting theWhite House- “resulting in a picture of the president of theUnited States standing next to several women wearing shoesthat were once reserved for walking on sand or showering inscuzzy gymnasiums.” Also dubbed “Generation Direct”,GenMe’s openness extends to all kinds of communications atwork and at home. Technology, which has fundamentallychanged this generation, has “in some ways made us meaner– or at least given us an anonymous venue for being so,”observes Twenge. For those who fit the bill of GenerationMe’s bankrupting

currency, it is time to return to the drawing board andincorporate the “we” into the equation.

timate Giralda Plaza. The evening willfeature cocktails, dinner, live music, andthe presentation of the Museum's firstCommunity Achievement Awards.The four 2014 Gala honorees are a dy-namic personification of Miami’s richcultural heritage. David Evensky,Thelma Gibson, H.T. Smith, and Judith

Weissel are members of the GreaterMiami community who have dedicatedthemselves to creating a better environ-ment in which to live, work and play.They were selected because of their so-cial commitment and connection to acurrent Coral Gables Museum exhibi-tion. “Beyond Swastika and JimCrow”, which tells the story of Jewishscholars who fled Germany and Austriaafter being forcefully dismissed fromtheir teaching positions. They emigratedto the United States to pursue jobs butwere not universally welcomed. Ratherthan finding the freedom and acceptancethey sought, some of the academicscould not find work. Several of the pro-fessors were embraced by traditionalblack colleges in the Jim Crow south andbecame teachers in these well-estab-lished institutions. Even in this environ-ment of racism and oppression, thesetwo groups came together in the spirit of

education and collaboration toward amore progressive and accepting societyand built strong bonds in the process. “This exhibit is representative ofMiami’s cultural environment in the1940’s. People forget that Miami wasthe Deep South back then—part of theJim Crow south. Miami is still very seg-regated today,” explained ChristineRupp, Director of the Coral Gables Mu-

seum. This exhibit reminds us of the ob-ligation we have to remember thisterrible part of our history and encour-ages us to continue actively building acommunity of acceptance.” David Evensky is a Miami native froma philanthropic family that ingrained inhim the importance of supporting artsand culture. He runs a finance firm thatsponsors many events and causes for thegood of the community. Thelma Gibsonis a retired nurse who experienced severeracism here in Miami and even had tohold a different identification card fromother nurses because she was black. De-spite the hardships and discriminationshe faced, she continues her work inhealthcare and launched the ThelmaGibson Health Initiative, a non-profitthat provides underserved populationswith healthcare-related care. Native Mi-amian H.T. Smith, who famously arguedhis way into law school without taking

the Law School Admissions Test, is acriminal defense attorney who is a Uni-versity of Miami board member. JudithWeissel’s family helped create the Mira-cle Mile, and she has participated in nu-merous philanthropic efforts in theMiami area.“The deserving recipients of the Mu-seum’s first Community AchievementAwards are outstanding citizens and

wonderful, generous people,” remarkedRupp. “The Museum wants your help inhonoring these brave and generous indi-viduals who have graciously providedtheir time, money, effort, and energy tohelp make Miami a better place.” The Coral Gables Museum’s mission isto educate visitors and the public abouturban design and planning, sustainabledevelopment, preservation on threefronts: architectural, environmental, andcultural. “When residents are compelled to learnabout the architecture and design of acity, they see that decisions made abouturban planning affect quality of life is-sues. We believe that a communityshould offer equitable benefits to all interms of accessibility to healthful living.Residents’ opinions must be considered.It is imperative that we look at the past tobest influence good decision making,going forward. This is but one of the ed-

ucational components of the Museum.”Individual tickets to An Evening on thePlaza are $250. Event sponsorships andunderwriting opportunities begin at$5,000 and $500, respectively. All pro-ceeds will support the Coral Gables Mu-seum in continuing to provide exhibits,educational programs and events. Tick-ets are available at coralgablesmu-seum.org. For additional information on

Photography Exhibition Showcases Mario Algaze and His Four Decades of Work A Respect for Light: The Photography of Mario Algaze on view from

November 14, 2014-January 18, 2015MIAMI ― In November, HistoryMiami willpresent an exhibition featuring the work ofrenowned Cuban-American photographerMario Algaze. A Respect for Light: The Photog-raphy of Mario Algaze is the first comprehen-sive exhibition highlighting the Miami-basedphotographer’s body of work, including imagescaptured throughout Latin America, panoramicimages of South Florida and concert photogra-phy.

The exhibition focuses on images taken inBolivia, Ecuador, Mexico and Cuba, amongother Latin American countries. Over thecourse of more than 30 years, Algaze capturedthese photographs, which feature the peopleand locations of the places he visited in theearly morning light as each day begins.

“The most important ingredient in my photo-graphs is a very early morning light, a magicallight, which on most days only allows you about

an hour to work. There’s a certain quality be-fore 9:30 in the morning, where light hits in a45-degree angle and there are long shadowsand soft light. If I could, I would light everyscene, but I can’t. I have to rely on Mother Na-ture,” said Algaze in the forward to his newbook, A Respect for Light: The Latin AmericanPhotographs 1974-2008, which is being re-leased to coincide with the exhibition.

Curated by HistoryMiami Deputy DirectorJorge Zamanillo, the exhibition will displaymore than 150 prints from Algaze’s 43-year ca-reer as a professional photographer, includingwork capturing South Florida landscapes,streetscapes and concerts. This will be his firstsolo exhibition in nearly a decade.

“Algaze shoots on film and develops his im-ages himself, maintaining control over his clas-sic, black-and-white style,” said Zamanillo. “Theway he captures his subjects truly documents

the moment, but in a beautiful way, straddlingthe line between photojournalism and fine art.”

HistoryMiami will be hosting an opening re-ception that is open to the public on Thursday,November 13 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. that will in-clude a book signing. To attend, RSVP usingthe following link: marioalgaze-historymiami.eventbrite.com

and more, assures Krizstina Hera, manager at theArthur Murray Coral Gables Dance Center. “I know itsounds cliché or a little corny, but locals come here andit really changes their life”, affirmed the former pro-fessional dancer who is now devoted to running this lo-cation of the world-renowned franchise, recently undernew ownership. “Sometimes, people are going throughdifficult times, such as a rough divorce or ladies whohave invested their life raising their children withoutdoing anything for themselves, and they just want togain more self esteem. Dancing is absolutely amazing,and everybody gets something out of it”, added Hera. The new owners, Augusto Schiavo and Haresh Tha-

rani, make an interesting pair that is already provinggreat success. Schiavo is a former World Championballroom dancer who has been in the dancing businesshis whole life. The Italian personality currently owns16 Arthur Murray studios around the world, 10 ofwhich are located in Italy -where he resides- and therest in various places such as New York, England,Tahiti and now, Coral Gables. Meanwhile, Tharanicomes from the corporate world -although his wife is aformer student of the studio- and is bringing his busi-ness knowledge into the equation. According to Hera, all of the teachers have worked

at the studio for at least five or six years. The new own-ers decided to keep the senior staff because of the highcaliber of its members. “All the teachers are profes-sional dancers; so, they actually compete and are at the

top of their categories. They are incredibly talentedand also very experienced senior teachers”, addedHera. On the other hand, she explained that 99% of thestudents enter the studio with no previous dancing ex-perience whatsoever. “They have never danced before,and they see that within a few lessons they learn thebasics and find themselves dancing comfortably with apartner. That is one of the most amazing things for usto see, because we understand that it is a big deal forthem just to walk through the door”, she said. The manager described the studio’s audience as “a

wonderful mix”, consisting of individuals of all agegroups- from high school students to octogenarians.She further pointed out that, owing to popular TVshows such as “Dancing with the Stars” and “So YouThink You Can Dance”, persons who might have neverthought of dancing before have found it to be so en-joyable. “It’s a unique blend: young singles, marriedcouples, baby boomers, seniors; we even have a younglady who lost 60 pounds just by dancing with us”, Herasaid. The Arthur Murray Coral Gables Dance Centerteaches up to twenty different dances, including salsa,merengue, bachata, tango, foxtrot, rumba, cha-cha,swing, samba, mambo, bolero, and disco, to name afew. “What we have found is that most people comefor the Latin dances and fall in love with other types, soend up dancing them as well”, she added. Arthur Murray and his wife founded the business in

the early 20s, which makes this studio the second old-

est franchise in the country, with 104 uninterruptedyears in business. There are 250 schools worldwideand throughout the United States. Probably, the suc-cess of this brand relies on a combination of teachingtechniques that Arthur Murray’s instructors dub the“three-way system”. “In the private lessons, studentshave teachers working with them one-on-one, adaptingto their level, needs and desires. Then, we have thegroup sessions in the evenings, which allow the stu-dents to learn how to change partners and experiencedancing with a crowd. Finally, the practice sessions,which we like to call “practice parties”, are basicallyweekly meetings where we create a festive environ-ment and make students dance different styles of musicwith different partners and practice everything theyhave learnt”, concluded Hera. The Arthur Murray Coral Gables Dance Studio is lo-cated at 2916 Ponce De Leon Blvd. For more informa-tion, call (305) 444-6136.

MIAMI – As Floridians get set to hit the polls on Nov. 4 and decide thefate of legalizing medical marijuana in this state, another debate isbrewing: do the benefits of medical marijuana to treat chronic painoutweigh the risks?

According to a recent survey conducted online in October by Har-ris Poll on behalf of Miami Jewish Health Systems among over 2,000adults, two out of three Americans – some 68% – believe that yes, thebenefits of using medical marijuana to treat pain outweigh the risks.But according to Dr. Fernando Branco, Medical Director of the Roso-moff Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center at Miami Jewish HealthSystems, who treats patients that have complex and chronic pain –including amputees and patients with spinal cord injuries – the pub-lic is misinformed.

“While I’m not surprised by the results of the survey, I’m disap-pointed because I believe that the public has been misled about theeffectiveness of medical marijuana to treat pain,” says Dr. Branco.“There are yet to be meaningful scientific findings to support the claimthat marijuana reduces pain significantly.”

While Dr. Branco acknowledges that marijuana can be effective totreat nausea in cancer/AIDS patients, and there is some evidence onthe treatment of seizures, he does not support using marijuana totreat pain because there are risks involved. Physical and psycholog-ical dependency are common with chronic use of marijuana, says Dr.Branco, and the possibility of drug addiction is high. There are alsocognitive changes with acute and chronic use of marijuana and, ifused daily, no driving would be allowed and work would be impossi-ble, he maintains.

“The use of marijuana for pain would be similar to alcohol use,” Dr.Branco adds. “Some patients will say that alcohol helps them ‘forget’their pain, but it does not mean I would be in favor of alcohol use totreat pain. Our goal is to treat the cause behind the pain – to allevi-ate or eliminate it, and reduce our patients’ dependency on any med-ication. Medical marijuana isn’t the answer. Through our variousinpatient and outpatient treatments, we work to get our patients pain-free and drug-free.”

Miami Jewish Health Systems is one of the most innovative health-care providers in the United States treating more than 12,000 peopleof all ages, ethnicities and religions annually. The 74-year-old institu-tion draws patients from across the nation and around the world forits pioneering Centers of Excellence that include: Rosomoff Com-prehensive Rehabilitation Center; Brucker Biofeedback; MemoryCenter; Rehabilitation Services at Miami Jewish Health Systems'Nursing Facility and the Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly(PACE).

Anew exhibit at the University ofMiami illustrates how your tax dol-lars are spent, describes the history

of physics, and depicts the structure of theBible. It provides an aerial view of taxonomy,displays the catalog of an entire reference li-brary in one image, and reveals the top-20emerging topics in science. The Places &Spaces Mapping Science Exhibit is a collec-tion of 100 innovative and important data vi-sualization maps, also known asinfographics—a concept you have certainlyencountered and have probably even utilized.The entire collection is here from IndianaUniversity, and is on display all together forthe first time at UM’s Richter Library and theSchool of Architecture. The exhibit will rununtil December 11.Data visualization is any graphical repre-

sentation of information and is a field ofgrowing importance and popularity. Ratherthan simply providing enough informationfor the user to deduce how to get from A to Bas would a geographical map, an infographicdeepens the significance of the data, by re-vealing information such as the history andcharacter of A and B, as well as the relation-ship between them. A data visualizationgraphic essentially “gives numbers a shape,”explains Assistant Professor Alberto Cairo,director of the visualization program at UM’sCenter for Computational Science. “As datavisualization specialists, we focus on creat-ing a data map that lets you see patterns andtrends in the information surrounding a con-cept or idea, and then we transform that com-plex information into graphicalrepresentations that the human brain can un-derstand.”

“If you think data visualization sounds likesomething that is just for scientists, you arewrong,” notes Dr. Sawsan Khuri, Director ofEngagement at UM’s Center for Computa-

tional Science and faculty member in the De-partment of Computer Science. Because in-fographics can be so visually striking, theyare commonly used in the news and other

media. They are also utilized to track sales,evaluate marketing efforts, measure produc-tivity, and for myriad essential businesstasks. A popular illustration of an infographic

is an election season map. Picture an outlineof the United States with each state paintedred or blue. That is an infographic showingthe distribution of party voters.

In addition to utility, data visualization isan art form that strives to draw parallels be-tween art and science. Some data may be bestexpressed in a beautifully asymmetrical col-

lection of watery splotches, or it may developinto a balanced series of straight linesarranged in a visually pleasing way. Some aretraditional bar graphs, while others imitate apattern or an image in nature. While they arevisually appealing, in becoming art, theyopen up pathways to a greater understandingof their scientific subject matter.“One map that you’ll see in the collection

features very colorful swirls and whirlpools;it looks like something out of Dr. Who,”points out Dr. Khuri, “It is a map of the his-tory of science fiction, and it takes into ac-count science fiction’s impact on other genresand the genres’ impact on science fiction.”In parallel to the stellar infographics dis-

plays, UM has organized a series of talksfrom world-renowned infographic special-ists, such as Nigel Holmes, who recently dis-cussed why he believes that fun is the essenceof data visualization. Places & Spaces is brought to UM by the

Center for Computational Science (CCS), theCollege of Arts and Sciences, the School ofCommunication, the School of Architecture,and the Otto G. Richter Library. It is “a won-derful example of different departments,schools and colleges of the university com-ing together as a team to create something forthe community,” observes Dr. Khuri.Data visualization exists to help us under-

stand the world more clearly. Anything andeverything can be mapped with enough dili-gence and time. Places & Spaces serves asevidence of the power of the visual to com-municate ideas and lead individuals to ahigher understanding. Places & Spacesproves that infographics are not solely visualaids. They operate as independent narratives,enlightening the observer without using thetraditional structure of a textbook or an essay.To obtain more information about the ex-

hibit and to sign up for the talks, visit the Vi-sualization program website at visua-lization.miami.edu or the Places & Spacesexhibit’s website at scimaps.org.

On Saturday, November 8th, localrunners will stride along thecourse of the Bill Baggs (Cape

Florida) State Park for the 37th AnnualKey Biscayne Lighthouse Run. It is theoldest continuous organized race inFlorida and offers two options to partici-pants of all levels: a 5K walk and a 10Krace. According to Michael Holmquist, this

year’s race director, the Lighthouse Run“always was and always will be a localrun that brings the families of Key Bis-cayne together, benefiting different localcharities”. Around 1200 people partici-pate in this traditional, family-friendlyevent. “All runners who like to have funattend: elites, amateurs, people who wantto run, people who want to walk, families,singles, and couples; this event is open toanyone”, said Holmquist, adding thateven an age group for the 80 year old di-vision was included this year. Both the start and finish lines for the run

and walk races are situated near the his-

torical Cape Florida Lighthouse. Thecourse stretches through the Bill BaggsState Park and the Village of Key Bis-cayne. Participants can expect full ac-commodations, including parking,warm-up exercises for all group ages,music, food, water stations, medals andtrophies, massages, post-race entertain-ment, adult beverages and official photos.Categories are divided into group ages

for the 5K Run and Walk. Winner medalswill be awarded to the top three finishersof each category, as well as top Key Bis-cayne finisher, for both events. Addi-tional prizes include plaques and gift

certificates, which will be presented to thetop female, male and Key Biscayne run-ners. All finishers will receive a KBLHRFinisher's Medal. The 10K runners mustcomplete the distance in less than 1:20minutes or be disqualified. 5K walkerswill not be judged for prizes. Participation fee is $30 for each race.

Registration is available online atwww.active.com (until November 6) orIsland Athletics located at 79 HarborDrive (until November 7). There is norace day registration. Race Packets con-taining race numbers and t-shirt will beavailable for pick up at Island Athletics

from November 3rd through November7th, for participants who registered priorto October 31st. All other race packageswill be available on race day, starting at6:15 a.m.. For more information, contactIsland Athletics at (305) 365-9989.Each year, the promotional poster fea-

tures a different element of the local en-vironment, to promote its appreciationand conservation. The 2014 mascot is themako shark, the fastest of all sharks. It isfound in many places around the worldand particulary in the waters surroundingTahiti. Swimmers are advised to look outfor these specimens since, although they

do not eat large animals such as humans,they can attack aggressively if they feelthreatened. The number of mako sharkshas dropped due to hunting; hence, theirconservation is considered to be vulnera-ble. To thrive, they need only to be leftalone and hopefully, to have a bright fu-ture. (Source: http://www.sharks-world.com/mako_shark).The Annual Key Biscayne Lighthouse

Run is possible thanks to the effort of raceproducers Todd Hofferberth of the Villageof Key Biscayne and Melisssa White ofthe Key Biscayne Foundation, with thesupport of the island’s mayor FranklinCaplan. “I am just a runner who has alove for Key Biscayne. I wanted to giveback to a community that my family hashad a fascination with since 1959, whenmy father was asked to leave Havana”,commented Holmquist, who is debutingas race director this year. Geno Marron,Guida Echevarria, Rafa Echevarria andDavid Carreno, as well as Marco Gomez,Co-Race Director, also compose the crew.The members of the charities to which

Who knew that enrolling in an adulteducation class could change your life?That is exactly what happened forsome. In 2006, locals of varied back-

grounds took a Tropical Botanic Illus-tration class at Fairchild TropicalBotanic Gardens. “We were in theclass when someone offered us an ex-hibit, and we said, ‘oh, maybe weshould actually call ourselves some-thing,” said Pauline Goldsmith, co-founder and co-director of the TropicalBotanic Artists. To date, their work as

a group has been exhibited in galleriesand museums, and most recently, ondisplay in the Coral Gables Museum asfeatured illustrations in MichaelLargo’s new book, The Big, Bad Bookof Botany: The World’s Most Fasci-nating Flora.

“This exhibit will be on tour for thenext year, and everywhere it goes therewill be a book signing,” said Gold-smith. From Coral Gables, the exhibitmoves south to the Koni Kai Fine ArtGallery in Key Largo and then will re-turn in January 2015 to Isabel’s inSouth Miami, and from there on to theDeering Estate. Meanwhile, a differ-

ent exhibition from the group, the “Ex-hibit of Botanic Art,” began at ErnestCoe Everglades Park, then traveled toKey West, followed by a stop at theWest Dade Library and on to the MainLibrary in downtown Miami July 11 –Sept. 2nd.

From Homestead to Miami Springs,the 19 Tropical Botanic Artists rangein age from the mid-40’s to early 90’s.The artists’ backgrounds vary: profes-sional artist; Assistant State Attorney;fashion designer; pediatrician; globalbio-pharmaceutical representative; andFederal Reserve Banking. “There are no rules and if there

were, probably half of our groupwould be gone,” laughed Beverly Bor-land, the group’s other co-director.“Nothing is written down, and thereare no bylaws; it’s just friends comingtogether.” They meet once a month forfour to five hours, critiquing eachother’s work and discussing upcomingevents. The staff at Biscayne National Park

approached Tropical Botanic Artistsabout organizing an exhibit, Goldsmithrelayed. “They said, ‘you know, about95% of our park is underwater – canyou do something aquatic?’ And wesaid okay. We were then introduced tosomeone in FIU’s marine departmentwho had been on a National Geo-graphic bio-blitz one weekend and hasobtained the different species of algaein the parks’ water. We ended up witha full exhibit, ‘Macro Algae: HiddenColors of the Sea,’ an 18-month tour ofmacro-algae. Its final stop was the FIUNorth Campus, where we donated thepaintings.”FIU was so impressed with Tropical

Botanic Artists’ macro work that theyrequested an additional exhibit on“The Diatoms,” which when complete,was shown at the Deering Estate be-fore moving on to Kansas. “With ‘The Big, Bad Book of

Botany’ exhibit, Michael came to usasking if we could provide illustrationsfor the book,’ Goldsmith continued.“He provided us with a list of 186species of plants, and we illustratedabout 150 of them. We call it ‘Botan-ical Portraiture’, scientifically correct

and aesthetically pleasing composi-tions.” “The project was more fun than we

imagined,” said Borland, who hasthree pieces in the exhibit: lavender,licorice and castor oil. Goldsmith hasfive pieces in this exhibit. “This is qui-nine bark from the quinine tree inAfrica,” she explained. “Quinine is ananti-malarial used in tonic water.Years ago, people had to take anti-malarial medication; so, they wouldput it in soda water. It was so awfulthat they added Dutch Gin, and that’show Gin and tonic came about. If youlook at a Schweppes bottle, you willsee quinine.” “As a group each of us had fun learn-

ing new and crazy facts. We had notdone pen & ink illustrations to this ex-tent so it was a new skill for many,”shared Goldsmith. The 2015 calendar for the Tropical

Botanic Artists includes will featuresupplemental pieces added to the Di-atom, a celebration of Tamiami Trail,the opening of The Diatoms at theFrost Museum and hosting in Octoberthe 300+ international convention ofthe American Society of BotanicalArtists (ASBA) in Coconut Grove. “Ipromised our members two meetingsago that we would not take on anymore new projects for 2015,” smiledGoldsmith.

“South Florida is now a huge magnet for artists,and much love and support needs to be given ifthe community wants this artistic boom to con-

tinue to define a substantial part of Miami,” observesKey Biscayne resident Andrea Beloff, who recentlyopened her studio at McCormick Place in downtownMiami. She has also brought her Painting Work-shops to the entrance of the 3rd floor during ART-WALK on the first Fridays of each month and otherevents hosted in the area, which features three addi-tional floors with artist studios. Born in New Jer-sey to Argentine parents and raised in Chicago andmostly Brazil, Beloff specializes in the complex artof collaging with papers made in the TraditionalJapanese Papermaking technique. “The bark, Kozo,comes from the Mulberry bush which grows abun-dantly in Japan. It has been made there since 600AD,” explains the artist, who found herself intriguedby the process of “taking nature and turning it intoa very refined piece of art full of magical qualities.”Focusing on broader and universal concepts, Beloffboasts 25 years of experience collaging tropicallandscapes, coastal scenes, animals, figures and ab-stracts through such techniques as paper collaging,dimensional paper collaging, watercolor painting,acrylic painting, and oil painting.Beloff, who was drawing cartoons at an early age,

did not rediscover art until her first year in college.Describing her oeuvres as “labors of love” and “spiri-tual, universal art that is not culturally-defined”, shegraduated with a degree in Art Studio from the Uni-

versity of California at Santa Barbara. “My art ca-reer took flight very steadily”, tells Beloff, who hada studio in her home in Santa Barbara, where shelived for 23 years, and who participated in art festi-vals throughout the top ten shows in California,Florida and New York. Beloff also lived in BuenosAires and Venice, Italy, where she studied at the Ac-cademia di Belle Arti under the tutelage of renownedabstract painter Emilio Vedova. Following her di-vorce and the collapse of the economy, she took aforced sabbatical to find new inspiration in her art.“I wanted to get out of the tropical landscape nichethat had so defined me and went back to a long de-sired dream of opening my own gallery/studio,”

states Beloff. “I wrote a business plan, and the nextfour and a half years I battled finding and losingeight different lease spaces in Santa Barbara until Irealized God was shutting all the doors so I wouldleave this place that I didn’t feel I could call homeanymore,” she says. In 2012, she relocated to KeyBiscayne, finding herself captivated by the island’s“beauty and family environment, ideal for my chil-dren’s well-being”. Describing herself as “independently motivated

and too creative to follow anyone else”, Beloffpaved her own path and became an influential figurein her interns’ artistic pursuits. She developed herown technique of making the kind of papers sheneeded for her art. “My Japanese teacher taught meto make the perfect sheet of paper- Japanese Style,thin, uncolored, finely beaten pulp, and with the per-fect edges,” notes Beloff. Upon graduation, she de-signed a paper with a more fibrous, richly-textured,colorful, thick and rugged edges. “Before long, Iwas creating tropical landscapes as if painting withmy fingers using these wonderfully rich papers thatI had made,” describes Beloff. With time, her workbecame increasingly detailed and presented “a feastfor the eyes”. “People would spend hours and hoursin my booth admiring each one,” she remarks. Stri-ving to establish a name for herself in South Floridaand rebuild a clientele, Beloff avows that the “artistlife is wonderful during creation but difficult other-wise. You need to be sensitive, yet tough as nails.”She adds that in Miami “it seems you need to be arelentless marketer and salesperson, both of which Ican be goodat, although

Amin De Jesus se refiere a la bandaSuénalo como a un batido dediferentes sonidos e influencias

musicales, una malteada de sabor para tusoídos. De Jesus actua como vocalista y a veces

rapero del conjunto del cual ha formadoparte por los pasados once años. El do-minicano asegura que las amistades entrelos nueve integrantes del grupo son la ver-dadera pega que los ha mantenido unidospor tanto tiempo. “Todos nos llevamos muy bien y creo

que eso tiene mucho que ver con la razónpor cual siempre encontramos una man-era de hacer que todos los ritmos y los dis-tintos sonidos funcionen y se oigan bien”,dijo De Jesus. De Jesus se toma un descanso entre can-

ciones de la presentación de Suénalo en elantro “Ball and Chain” de la Pequeña Ha-bana para platicar con I NY BN de laaventura que ha sido ser integrante de Sué-nalo. “Es muy divertido”, dijo el vocalista.

“Los miembros de Suénalo nacieron endiferentes países de Latinoamérica y Eu-ropa y todos traen un granito de su cultura

hacia la música que creamos.” Chad Bernstein de Chicago también es

un vocalista del conjunto y toca el trom-bón mientras que Eric Escanes de Franciaes el guitarrista y además toca las caraco-las. El venezolano Adrian Gonzalez canta

pero también toca el teclado y su compa-triota Carlos “Kako” Guzman es el bajistaa la vez que el puertorriqueño Abner Tor-res es el baterista de Suénalo. El cubano Juan Turros toca el saxofón y

la flauta, Allan Ramos es el percusionistay entre tantos caballeros una dama nacidaen Miami de raíces americanas llamadaMish Elle se adueña del micrófono y cantaa la par de sus compañeros de Suénalo. Los nueve integrantes de Suénalo se

destacaron en sus carreras individualesantes de formar parte de la excitante mez-cla musical que es el conjunto, inclusomuchos de ellos han disfrutado del éxitocon sus propias bandas y hasta han tocadoen otros grupos muy conocidos por elpúblico. Por ejemplo, Turros toco con la banda

del músico de Rock americano David LeeRoth y Torres formo parte de la banda delcantante español Julio Iglesias. “Si hay una banda que realmente repre-

sente a Miami es Suénalo”, dijo la única

cantante femenina del grupo Mish Elle.“Es un guiso de culturas! La música quetocamos no es común, es una banda defusión porque tocamos ritmos afrocubanosy ritmos de funk, del caribe, de reggae, dejazz, de música electrónica y hasta hip hopy baladas.” Cuando Suénalo sube a la tarima en

“Ball and Chain” todas las personas en laterraza del bar alzan sus miradas hacia elescenario ya que es hora de gozar. Algunos sacan sus cameras y les tiran

fotos mientras que otros graban videoscon sus celulares. Otras personas muevensus cabezas al ritmo y hay unos que no sepueden contener y se levantan para bailarcon sus parejas.

“Cree que el nombre Suénalo es per-fecto para nuestro conjunto”, dijo JuanTurros. “Era el año 1999 o el 2000 noestoy seguro y fue el hermano de unanovia mía que dijo si van a tener unabanda en Miami le tienen que poner elnombre Suénalo y desde ese entonces esefue nuestro nombre oficial.” Torres explica que aunque varios de los

integrantes del grupo tocaban con otrasbandas y tenían otros trabajos había algoespecial que los atraía a seguir tocandocon Suénalo. “Comenzó como un grupo de impro-

visación”, dijo Torres.“Nadie tenía la obligación de practicar

pero nos gustaba tocar juntos y crear

La Feria está armadadesde el concepto de que no hay una mejor escuela,sino que hay una mejor escuela para tu hijo”, comentó.Éste será un evento público y gratuito, en el que las

familias tendrán la oportunidad de reunirse con repre-sentantes de las escuelas del área de Miami y accedera información y recursos de primera mano. “Los ben-eficios para toda la comunidad son evidentes: lospadres aprenden sobre los diferentes tipos de escuelas,los beneficios de cada filosofía de educación y los pro-gramas existentes, y las escuelas tienen la oportunidadde conocer e involucrarse con las familias”, agregóKerry. Además, los asistentes podrán escuchar laopinión de expertos en paneles de discusión sobre tópi-cos tales como cómo escoger el preescolar adecuado,entrar al sistema escolar y los retos y oportunidades deeducar a los hijos en un ambiente bicultural.Brickell and KB Moms es una organización comuni-

taria para mamás dirigida por mamás. Su misión esproveer e intercambiar información y recursos para lasfamilias. “La Feria Escolar es una de nuestras princi-pales iniciativas.

Durante el evento, cada es-cuela tendrá un espacio para interactuar con familiasprospecto y proveer información acerca de sus respec-

tivas instituciones. Al mismo tiempo, una conferenciaeducativa tendrá lugar en el salón principal de confer-encias. Los paneles estarán conformados por representantes

de varias escuelas y expertos en educación infantil. Lostemas incluirán la escogencia del preescolar de acuerdoa las distintas filosofías de enseñanza –Tradicional,Montessori, Waldorf, mixta; los procesos de aplicación,las diferencias entre los sistemas público y privado,entre otros. Para Kerry, abordar estos aspectos ayudaráa los padres a manejar algunas de sus principales in-quietudes, como lo es el que su hijo pueda integrarse yse sienta a gusto en su nueva escuela, así como tam-bién que reciba la instrucción académica apropiada.“Otro asunto importante para los padres es que losniños mantengan el idioma de origen, por lo que es im-portante conocer sobre los diferentes programas bil-

ingües”, acotó.El evento contará con la participación de un repre-

sentante de la junta del Distrito 6 de escuelas públicas,que es el que corresponde a Key Biscayne y áreasaledañas. Debido a que algunas escuelas públicas estánsobre pobladas, es importante que los padres conozcanqué otras opciones existen dentro del sistema, como porejemplo las instituciones a las cuales se accede a travésde lotería en vez de zonificación. De esta forma, po-dríamos incluso ayudar a resolver este problema. Además de un servicio, es una obligación para las es-cuelas brindar esta información, para que los padrespuedan tomar decisiones más acertadas”, concluyóKerry.Este evento es posible gracias al patrocinio del Mercy

I find it very taxing to the creativeprocess.” Venturing into new territory, Beloff

is now combining the paper with wa-tercolor and painting, thus adding anew layer to the one-dimensional art.“This new body of work is reallyamazing; people really need to see itin person,” she observes. Citingsources of artistic inspiration such asprofound life occurrences and life les-sons, Beloff points out that she is now“driven by this renewal of my life andwhat has given me a better foundationand guidance into this revival stage”.A convert to Christianity, she now re-lays Biblical messages and conceptssuch as inner peace and spiritual heal-ing and guidance in her work, whichare the product of contemplation, pa-tience, and the realization that she is“not the one in control”. Beloff isstill exhibiting her Love and Abun-dance Series, which mostly portraytrees and flowers and evoke Biblicalverses “that reveal the Word of Godand the importance of planting seedsin fertile ground and living with thattruth in order to live a purposeful lifeand find heaven on Earth.” “Some ofthe trees show a blend of foreign cur-rency imbedded in the leaves as asymbol of abundance, making them

very unique,” explains Beloff. “A fab-ulous ULTIMATE PEACE art is dis-played with new LED Lighting in theframing that changes colors.” To channel her emotions and “move

conflicting energy”, Beloff began

painting hearts, and since 2009 hasbeen offering “Paint Your Heart Out”,a workshop guiding children of allages and adults to “look into theirhearts, express verbally an intention,paint from this intention and thenspeak about the process.” “I find thatas humans, we keep too much inside,and that we need to show the worldmore vehicles of expression and waysto heal,” she observes. In addition tooffering the workshops at her studioand on demand at the Key BiscayneCommunity Center (KBCC), Beloffcan also hold them at another location.“Paint Your Heart Out” is also the ve-hicle for the more serious HealingThru Art Program that Andrea is in-

troducing. “The two-hour sessions are$60.00 each and include Christianhealing by understanding what God’swill is for us, prayer and painting,” shepoints out. “However, since the initialpainting usually draws the pain out,the process continues for two, three orhowever many sessions necessary tofeel the effects of the healing and seethe results through the art. It is usu-ally where the person starts to admitthe need for divine intervention,” ex-plains Beloff. “It is a wonderfulprocess. I love doing it and am goodat it, using a light and spirited touch.God gave us a brave spirit. Let’s tapinto it to conquer the unnecessary painwe carry along and release it, our un-forgiveness, our anger and hurt, ourbrokenness. We all have been there,”she adds.Beloff is also carrying out her desire

to delve into Abstract Art.

Conde Contemporary brings Little Havanato Art San Diego

Incoherent Stories” by Aurora Molina

Miami, FL - Conde Contemporary, locatedat 1007 SW 8th St., in the Little Havananeighborhood of Miami, announced its in-clusion at Art San Diego.

“We’re delighted to participate in Art SanDiego this year, with ‘A Tribute to Contem-porary Cuban Art’. It’s our honor and privi-lege to introduce our coterie of Cuban artiststo the Southern California audience of col-lectors”, said Stacy Conde, owner and di-rector of the gallery.

Contemporary Cuban Art is an amalgama-tion of history, politics, religion, culture and

socioeconomic development, both on and offthe island. Highly sought after in many cir-cles, Cuban Contemporary Art can be foundin important collections globally.

Conde Contemporary specializes in LatinAmerican contemporary art, with a focus oncontemporary Cuban and Cuban Americanworks, “However, country of origin is not ourmain criteria”, explains Conde. “We chooseart which moves us, by artists with a provenrecord of commitment to their artistic en-deavors.”

The gallery will feature works by Ernesto

Capdevila, Andres Conde, Darian RodriguezMederos, Aurora Molina and Luis EnriqueToledo del Rio. “Being Cuban means agreat many things; there is no one Cubanpoint of view, neither within the group livingin Cuba nor within the Cuban diaspora. Wehave specifically chosen work for Art SanDiego, which is representative of the Cubandiversity in thought, style, subject and tech-nique. The two main commonalities in theworks we’ll show are that they’re all figura-tive, and the artists were born in Cuba”, saidMs. Conde.

Hay muchas frases que se convierten enfuente de inspiración a la hora de querer es-cribir. Me vienen a la mente frases como

éstas, todas ellas en gerundio: ‘Abriendo puer-tas”, “Cerrando heridas”, “Ten-diendo puentes”,“Derribando muros”, “Estrechando lazos” y la deeste ar-tículo: “Deshaciendo nudos”.Recuerdo que de niño ayudaba a mi madre a

poner en orden la madeja enredada de lana, de laque ella hacia punto o calceta. Mi madre colocabala madeja en mis dos brazos, yo los mantenía dis-tantes y tensos con la madeja dentro de ellos. Ypoco a poco mi madre iba formando un ovillo re-dondo, y bien trabado que después ella lo con-vertía en unos calcetines, una bufanda o unosguantes. Con que orgullo lucia la ropa que mehacia mi madre con aquellas manos diestras paratantas cosas!

Una vez mi madre me dijo después de esta pa-ciente y monótona operación: “La vida es tambiéncomo una madeja o la mantienes en orden o dejasque se enrede”. Esta filosofía de la vida me ha ayu-dado muchas veces a mantener el orden y la orga-nización en el pensar, planear y actuar, deshaciendonudos, que son los inconvenientes, los problemas,los enredos y las dificultades, que tanto abundan ennuestras vidas. Al mismo tiempo fui aprendiendoa crear lazos de relaciones sanas, de cercanía y

amistad, de ayuda y coop-

eración.También recuerdoque mi madre meenseñó a atarmelos cordones delos zapatos ha-ciendo un lazo.Al principiouna cosa,

aparentemente tan fácil, noacertaba a hacerlo bien. Pormi falta de destreza o por notener suficiente fuerza, veíaque pronto el lazo mío se de-shacía y tenía que comenzar de

nuevo. A veces todo lo solucionaba haciendo unnudo y mi madre me repetía: “Los nudos puedenenredar las cosas, los lazos hacen que las personasse sientan cerca, unidas y libres. Si haces un nudo,

después tienes que deshacerle para quitarte los za-patos y dejar los cordones sueltos para otro lazo”.Desde entonces he tratado de deshacer nudos, su-perar problemas, usar de la paciencia y evitar con-fusiones y enredos en el hacer y en el hablar de cadadía.Hay una simpática advocación, popular en al-

gunos lugares y que hace re-ferencia a María, lamadre de Dios y nuestra madre, la cual como Div-ina Costurera, siempre está presta a deshacer losnudos que enredan nuestras vidas. Me imagino

que son muchos los nudos y complicaciones quetiene que deshacer nuestra Señora a favor de cadauno de sus hijos. Termino con una sencilla in-vitación a crear lazos que nos unan y den vigor anuestra vida. Los nudos y en-redos de la vida con-funden, complican y ahogan nuestra libertad. Ter-minan por asfixiarnos, como ese nudo que a vecessentimos en la garganta a la hora de hablar, pro-ducido por el miedo, la inseguridad o las emo-ciones, bien positivas o negativas. Que nuestraverdadera libertad se vea libre de todo nudo y enre-dos en el vivir de cada día.
