Additionally, we maintain committed to a high standard of city cleanliness, which includes major efforts in our waterways to protect our seagrass, corals, sh, among many other marine life. Alton Road, as most of you are aware, is under construction by the Florida Department of Transportation. Despite the construction zone, our local shops along Alton Road and West Avenue remain open. I hope the appearance will not deter you from supporting our local businesses. We are working on improving your access to their storefronts. I would like to wish the Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beachs rst building with an exhibition space for the ne arts, a very happy birthday. Fifty years later, the Bass continues to be a major cultural anchor for South Florida. Antes que nada, me gustara desearles a todos un 2014 lleno de salud y felicidad.

Matters of the Heart Asuntos del Corazn

By Melissa Berthier La enfermedad cardaca se ha convertido, por desgracia, en la primera causa de muerte de hombres y mujeres en los Estados Unidos. Puede golpear en cualquier lugar, en cualquier momento y, a menudo, a quienes menos lo esperan. Soy una de esas personas que no presentaban sntomas o factores de riesgo. Tengo un buen estado fsico, soy delgado, no fumo y hago la dieta de South Beach. Y sin embargo, tengo una enfermedad cardiaca, comparti Thomas Van Lent, residente de Key Largo de 55 aos de edad. En octubre pasado, Van Lent se desplom por un paro cardaco justo despus de haber llegado a la meta del medio maratn de Halloween de Miami Beach. Un espectador comenz de inmediato la reanimacin cardiopulmonar (RCP), y en cuestin de segundos llegaron los paramdicos del cuerpo de bomberos de Miami Beach. A Van Lent le pusieron en el pecho un desbrilador externo automtico (DESA). Luego de recibir un choque, pudo tener una segunda oportunidad de vida. Cuando una persona sufre un paro cardaco repentino, saber qu hacer y hacerlo rpidamente puede signicar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte. El corredor tuvo la buena fortuna de que esto le ocurriera en cercanas de los paramdicos del cuerpo de bomberos de Miami Beach, pero es vital que todo el mundo est capacitado para intervenir apropiadamente si no hay rescatistas profesionales que puedan acudir de inmediato, explica Francois Betancourt, jefe de la divisin de servicios mdicos de emergencia.
mayores de edad sobre la reanimacin cardiopulmonar y el uso de desbriladores, as como sobre la manera de atender la asxia en adultos. Tras un colapso, las probabilidades de supervivencia disminuyen en un 10% por cada segundo que pasa. Usted puede ser la nica esperanza de mantener con vida a una vctima. Es la razn por la cual queremos capacitar a tantos residentes como sea posible, aade Betancourt. Al terminar la capacitacin, los alumnos recibirn un Certicado del Departamento de Bomberos de Miami Beach y podrn recibir una tarjeta que acredita que tomaron el curso Heartsaver CPR AED de la AHA. Esta tarjeta es vlida por dos aos. Cuando estn a disposicin, los desbriladores externos automticos son aparatos de fcil uso que pueden ser utilizados por transentes no capacitados para salvar la vida de una persona que sufre un paro cardaco repentino. Sin embargo, quienes nov han recibido alguna forma de entrenamiento se sienten intimidados con estos aparatos y es menos probable que los usen. Si una persona tiene un ritmo cardaco que haga necesario un choque, el desbrilador aplicar tal choque. La mquina no aplica choques si la persona no los necesita. En cambio, puede restaurar el ritmo cardaco normal si se usa oportunamente. En caso de no contar con un desbrilador, se debe recurrir a la reanimacin cardiopulmonar (RCP). La RCP es un procedimiento para salvar vidas. Con
suerte, usted nunca tendr que utilizarla. Sin embargo, esta intervencin puede ser ms que crucial para la persona que la necesite, apunta Betancourt. Quienes han recibido una capacitacin en RCP tienen ms probabilidades de practicar compresiones de pecho ecientes y confan ms en sus propias habilidades que quienes no han recibido formacin alguna. Estoy extremadamente agradecido porque alguien de la multitud saba cmo hacer una RCP y por la respuesta rpida del cuerpo de bomberos de Miami Beach. Mi recuperacin fue un verdadero milagro, dijo Van Lent. Para informacin detallada, fechas de la capacitacin Heartsaver CPR AED de la AHA y otros cursos (capacitacin en extincin de incendios, seguridad contra incendios en plantas altas, planicacin de simulacros de incendio, etc.), visite www.miamibeach.gov/ re o llame al 305.673.7130.

SAFETY FIRST SEGURIDAD PBLICA
Heart disease has unfortunately garnered the title of Americas number one killer for both men and women. It can strike anywhere, anytime and often to the most unsuspecting. I am one of those people who had no symptoms or risk factors. Im athletic, slim, dont smoke and eat a South Beach diet. And yet, I have heart disease, said 55-year-old Key Largo resident Thomas Van Lent. This past October, Van Lent crossed the nish line of the Miami Beach Halloween Half Marathon, only to collapse in cardiac arrest upon arrival. A bystander began immediate CPR and Miami Beach Fire-Rescue paramedics arrived in seconds. An automated external debrillator (AED) was placed on Van Lents chest, and one shock later, he had a second chance of life. Knowing what to do, and doing it quickly, when someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest can make the difference between life and death. The runner was fortunate enough to have collapsed at arms reach of our Miami Beach Fire-Rescue paramedics, but it is vital for everyone to be trained on how to properly intervene if professional rescuers are not immediately on the scene, said EMS Division Chief Francois Betancourt. This year, the Miami Beach Fire-Rescue Department will be offering residents the American Heart Association (AHA) Heartsaver CPR AED training at no cost on the rst Monday of every month. This course, available to anyone with limited or no medical training, teaches adult CPR and AED use, as well as how to relieve choking on an adult. The chances for survival decrease by 10 percent with each passing minute after
collapse. You may be the victims only hope to keep them alive, so we want
to train as many residents as possible, added Chief Betancourt. Upon completion of the training, students will receive a Miami Beach Fire-Rescue Department Certicate of Completion and are eligible to receive an AHA Heartsaver CPR AED Course Completion Card that is valid for two years. If available, AEDs are userfriendly devices that untrained bystanders can use to save the life of someone having a sudden cardiac arrest. However, individuals who have not undergone training are oftentimes intimidated by the machine, and much less-likely to use it. If a person is in a heart rhythm that needs to be shocked, the AED will automatically shock the heart. The machine will not shock someone that does not need to be shocked, and can restore a normal heart rhythm if it is used quickly enough. If an AED is not immediately obtainable, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be performed. CPR is a life-saving skill that you hopefully will never need to use, but can make the world of difference to a person in need of this life-saving intervention, said Chief Betancourt.

People who have had CPR training are more likely to give high-quality chest compressions and are more condent about their skills than are those who have not been trained. I am extremely grateful that someone in the crowd knew how to administer CPR and for the rapid response of Miami Beach Fire-Rescue. My recovery was nothing short of a miracle, said Van Lent.

CULTURAL CORNER ESQUINA CULTURAL
Miami City Ballet is often top-of-mind for South Florida residents when they think of local dance; however, the Miami Beach founded contemporary dance company, Dance Now! Miami (DNM) has been an artistic gem in our community for many years. Established in 2000 by Diego Salterini and Hannah Baumgarten, they have earned the exclamation point in the companys name by bridging their varied backgrounds in ballet, modern dance and jazz to produce unique, exhilarating dance performances. Their dance recruits represent a cross section of South Floridas diverse background; from New World School of the Arts graduates, recent Cuban emigrates from the Contemporary Company out of Guantanamo Bay and musical theatre alumni from the University of Miami. DNM has been a grantee of the Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council for the past 14 years. As part of the citys support, the dance company hosts several free performances for residents each year, noted Gary Farmer, cultural affairs program manager at the City of Miami Beach. Last November, DNM presented an entrancing performance at the North Beach Bandshell where they provided a sneak peak from the companys critically acclaimed repertory, Waters Edge: the Long Walk.
This year, they will be holding free performances in May at the Art/Center South Florida and Bass Museum. These performances will be inspired by the current art on display and the unique architectural elements of the facilities. Beyond the hours being put into rehearsals and their local and international performances, the company carves out time and resources to dedicate to educational outreach, nurturing new talent and ensuring the art of dance is accessible to diverse audiences. DNM offers daily classes for children and adults at its home studio, where the company also presents educational performances as part of the Miami-Dade County Cultural Passport Program, reaching over 5,000 school children annually. We are a dance company with a long standing commitment to arts education and are proud to be actively involved with this community, said co-founder Hannah Baumgarten. Additionally, over the past ten years, the company has run a rotating, comprehensive education outreach program to many of the countys public schools, including Nautilus Middle School and Feinberg Fisher K-8 Center. They teach how to watch live dance, stimulate art awareness, critical thinking and freedom of expression.
El Ballet de la Ciudad de Miami suele ser lo primero en lo que piensan los residentes del sur de Florida cuando se habla de danza a nivel local. Sin embargo, Miami Beach es fundadora de la compaa de danza contempornea Dance Now! Miami (DNM), que ha sido una joya artstica en nuestra comunidad durante muchos aos. Establecida en el ao 2000 por Diego Salterini y Hannah Baumgarten, la compaa ha sido objeto de exclamacin por reunir inuencias variadas de ballet, danza moderna y jazz para producir espectculos de baile nicos y emocionantes. En sus bailarines se reeja la diversidad de orgenes de la poblacin del sur de Florida, con graduados del New World School of the Arts, recientes inmigrantes cubanos de la Compaa de Danza Contempornea de la Baha de Guantnamo, y alumnos del teatro musical de la Universidad de Miami, entre otros. DNM ha sido beneciario de subvenciones del Consejo de Artes Culturales de Miami Beach durante los ltimos 14 aos. En el marco del apoyo de la ciudad, la compaa de danza celebra cada ao varios espectculos gratuitos para los residentes, comenta Gary Farmer, administrador del programa de Asuntos Culturales de la Ciudad de Miami Beach. En noviembre pasado, DNM present un fascinante espectculo en la concha acstica de North Beach. En el mismo, la compaa dej ver un anticipo de su muy aclamado repertorio, Waters Edge: the Long Walk.
Este ao, har presentaciones gratuitas en mayo en el Art/ Center South Florida y el Bass Museum. Las presentaciones estarn inspiradas en las obras actualmente expuestas y en los singulares elementos arquitectnicos de las instalaciones. Ms all de las horas dedicadas a ensayos y presentaciones locales e internacionales, la compaa encuentra tiempo y recursos para el compromiso educativo, apoyando a nuevos talentos y velando por conseguir que el arte de la danza sea accesible a diversos pblicos. DNM ofrece clases diarias a nios y adultos en su sede principal, donde tambin presenta espectculos educativos como parte del programa Pasaporte Cultural del Condado de Miami-Dade, llegando a ms de 5,000 nios en edad escolar cada ao. Somos una compaa de danza con un duradero compromiso a favor de la educacin en las artes, y nos sentimos orgullosos de participar activamente en nuestra comunidad, dice Hannah Baumgarten., cofundadora de la compaa. Adicionalmente, en los ltimos diez aos la compaa ha dirigido un programa rotativo completo de alcance educativo para muchas de las escuelas pblicas del condado, entre ellas, Nautilus Middle School y Feinberg Fisher K-8 Center. A travs de este programa, se ensea a ver danza en vivo y se estimulan el conocimiento del arte, el pensamiento crtico y la libertad de expresin.
Il Mare is a performance of water-themed works of dance that brings together our love of the ocean, our desire to preserve its beauty, to celebrate our relationship with it and to bring to our audience all that is Miami Beach, said Baumgarten. Il Mare es un espectculo compuesto por obras de baile sobre el tema del agua, que rene nuestro amor por el ocano y nuestro deseo de conservar su belleza, para celebrar nuestra relacin con l y acercar a nuestro pblico todo lo que es Miami Beach, resume Baumgarten.

A signicant driver in developing citywide priorities is the community input received through the satisfaction surveys with residents and businesses. The surveys provide an understanding of current satisfaction levels among community groups with the City of Miami Beach government and the services it provides; provides benchmarks to similar jurisdictions; and provides recommendations for improving satisfaction and quality of life, i.e. key drivers for improving satisfaction. By surveying these groups, there is a better understanding of the needs and desires of the community and the city is better able to allocate resources to address these priorities.
According to the most recent Miami Beach Community Satisfaction Survey that was conducted in early 2012, a majority (89 percent) of resident respondents reported that their overall quality of life within the City of Miami Beach was either excellent or good. In addition, a record high of 89 percent reported Miami Beach as an excellent or good place to live. Although much has been achieved over the years, there is still room for improvement. In 2012, residents and businesses indicated the need for addressing better storm drainage, homelessness, trafc ow and road conditions as being of top importance. Addressing these issues, along with many others, continue to be a priority. The 2014 survey, which will be Miami Beachs fth set of comprehensive statistically valid community satisfaction surveys, will soon be underway. We encourage everyone who receives a phone call to participate. With just 10 minutes of your time, you can shape the future of the city.
La ciudad de Miami Beach se esfuerza continuamente por ofrecer servicios sobresalientes y mejorados a sus residentes, negocios y visitantes, mientras que aumenta las ventajas brindadas a los ciudadanos a partir del pago de impuestos e implementa cambios para asegurar la sostenibilidad a largo plazo de la ciudad. Un motor importante en el desarrollo de prioridades para toda la ciudad es el aporte recibido de la comunidad a travs de las encuestas de satisfaccin de los residentes y negocios. Las encuestas brindan una visin de los niveles actuales de satisfaccin entre grupos de la comunidad con respecto al gobierno de la Ciudad de Miami Beach y los servicios que presta; constituyen puntos de referencia para jurisdicciones similares; y aportan recomendaciones para mejorar la satisfaccin y la calidad de vida. En otras palabras, son motores clave para mejorar la satisfaccin. Al encuestar a estos grupos, hay una mejor comprensin de las necesidades y los deseos de la comunidad, y la ciudad est mejor preparada para asignar recursos a n de hacer frente a estas prioridades.
Segn la ms reciente encuesta de satisfaccin de la comunidad de Miami Beach, que se realiz a principios de 2012, la mayora (el 89%) de los residentes encuestados informaron que su calidad de vida en la Ciudad de Miami Beach era excelente o buena.

CELEBRATING THE GOLDEN YEAR

By Melissa Berthier Long before Basel, there was the Bass. For the last 50 years, residents and visitors alike have ocked to the Bass Museum of Art to experience the cornerstone of Miami Beachs arts and culture. Founded in 1963 through the donation of a private collection from John and Johanna Bass to the City of Miami Beach, the initial donated works consisted of 500 Renaissance and Baroque pieces of art, primarily European Old Master paintings, important textiles and religious sculptures. Today, the museum houses over 3,000 works including: European painting and sculpture from the 15th century to present; seventh to 20th-century textiles, tapestries and ecclesiastical vestments and artifacts; 20th and 21st-century North American, Latin American, Asian and Caribbean art; photographs, prints and drawings; and modern and contemporary architecture and design with emphasis on the pre and postwar design history of Miami Beach. The Bass also boasts one of the few Egyptian galleries in the nation and the only one in Florida, which allows visitors the unique opportunity to learn about one of the worlds oldest and most mysterious civilizations from its surviving objects, including an Egyptian sarcophagus and mummy. The museum occupies what was originally the Miami Beach Public Library and Art Center, designed in 1930 by Russell Pancoast, grandson of Miami Beach pioneer John A. Collins. Distinctive art deco features of the faade of the museum include sculptures by Gustav Boland of stylized carved sea gulls and bas reliefs above the entrance portals depicting colonial Spanish sailing ships, a pelican eating a sh, and cruise ships, boats and planes coming to Miami Beach. Opened as Miami Beachs rst public building with an exhibition space for the ne arts, the Bass Museum was intended to preserve the symmetry of the formal gardens of Collins Park, which had been donated by Collins to the City of Miami Beach and laid out in the 1920s. The building is now the centerpiece of the citys historic district and was placed on the National Register in 1978. Together with the Miami City Ballet and Miami-Dade Public Library, the Bass Museum is a cultural anchor of Miami Beach within the Collins Park neighborhood.
In addition to the vast amount of paintings, the Bass collection contains sculptures, works on paper, decorative objects and an exquisite textiles selection. Adems de la gran cantidad de pinturas, la coleccin Bass contiene esculturas, obras sobre papel, objetos de decoracin y una seleccin de exquisitos textiles.
Feature artculo de fondo
In 2001, the internationally acclaimed architect Arata Isozaki was hired to design a new wing which offered the museum an additional 16,000 square feet of gallery, retail and reception space. Isozakis works combine a traditional Japanese sensibility with Western postmodernism. The new wing exhibits signature features of Isozakis design aesthetic, such as his creation of ying-yang juxtapositions between positive and negative space. Beyond their exhibitions, the Bass is host to various educational programs that successfully demonstrate that art is a catalyst for creativity and positive growth, especially
in the area of early childhood education. Many visitors also take advantage of the dynamic art conversations that frequent the museum. In order to reach out to new and diverse audiences, the Bass is now open on Fridays until 9 p.m. We offer classes, lectures, social events and exhibition openings, said Silvia Karman Cubi, executive director and chief curator for the Bass Museum. You can make it a night and stop by before or after dinner and catch one of these classes or just drop in and see our exhibitions on view. Late last year, the City of Miami Beach awarded the Bass
Museum a $7.5 million grant for expansion. The museum will use the funds to build two additional classrooms adjacent to the existing Lindemann Family Creativity Center. With a separate entrance, the space will be open and accessible after regular museum hours and in the evenings. The improved and functional design will provide 47 percent more programmable space within the museums same building footprint, noted Cubi. This will enhance the museums commitment to its exhibition and education programming in a responsible and sustainable manner.
The Bass is working on this design with architects Arata Isozaki & Associates and David Gauld. The expansion will begin in April of next year. 2014 is [our] 50th anniversary and we cannot be more excited about the direction our museum (and Miami Beach) is headed, added Cubi. With so many cultural offerings in Miami, the future of museums is not the future, it is the now. The Bass will be kicking of their 50th birthday celebration with an outdoor concert featuring the Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO) on January 26.
Admission to the Bass Museum is FREE for Miami Beach residents with proof of residency. La entrada al museo es GRATUITA para los residentes de Miami Beach con una prueba de residencia.

ANIVERSARIO DE ORO
Por Melissa Berthier Antes de Basel, estuvo el Bass. En los ltimos 50 aos, innumerables residentes y visitantes han ido al Bass Museum para vivir la experiencia del espacio artstico y cultural de Miami Beach. Fundado en 1963, gracias a la donacin de una coleccin privada de John y Johanna Bass a la Ciudad de Miami Beach, sus obras iniciales fueron 500 piezas de arte del Renacimiento y el Barroco, principalmente pinturas de antiguos maestros europeos, importantes tejidos y esculturas religiosas. Actualmente, el museo alberga alrededor de 3,000 obras, entre las que se incluyen: pinturas y esculturas europeas desde el siglo XV hasta nuestros das; telas, tapices y objetos y vestidos eclesisticos desde el siglo VII hasta el siglo XX; arte de Norteamrica, Latinoamrica, Asia y el Caribe de los siglos XX y XXI; fotografas, impresiones y dibujos; y arquitectura y diseo modernos y contemporneos, con nfasis en la historia del diseo de preguerra y posguerra de Miami Beach. El Bass tambin ostenta una de las pocas galeras egipcias del pas y la nica en la Florida. Esta brinda a los visitantes una oportunidad sin igual para aprender sobre una de las civilizaciones ms antiguas y misteriosas del mundo, a partir de los objetos que quedan de ella, como una momia y un sarcfago egipcios. El museo ocupa lo que antiguamente fuera el Miami Beach Public Library and Art Center, diseado en 1930 por Russell Pancoast, nieto de John A. Collins, uno de los pioneros de Miami Beach. Entre las caractersticas de art dco de la fachada del museo se encuentran las esculturas de estilizadas gaviotas talladas de Gustav Boland y bajos relieves ubicados sobre las puertas de entrada, con representaciones de buques de vela coloniales espaoles, de un pelcano comiendo un pescado, y de cruceros, barcos y aviones que llegan a Miami Beach. Inaugurado como el primer edicio pblico de Miami Beach con un espacio de exposicin para las bellas artes, el museo Bass estaba destinado a preservar la simetra de los jardines formales de Collins Park, donados por Collins a la ciudad de Miami Beach y diseados en la dcada de 1920. El edicio es ahora la pieza central del distrito histrico de la ciudad, y fue inscrito en el Registro Nacional en 1978. Junto con el Ballet de la Ciudad de Miami y la Biblioteca Pblica de Miami-Dade, el Bass es un pilar cultural de Miami Beach en el barrio de Collins Park. En 2001, el arquitecto Arata Isozaki, aclamado a escala internacional, fue contratado para disear una nueva ala del museo, que aadi 16,000 pies cuadrados de espacio de galera, tienda y recepcin. Las obras de Isozaki combinan una sensibilidad japonesa tradicional con el posmodernismo occidental. La nueva ala exhibe caractersticas propias de la esttica de diseo de Isozaki, tales como la creacin de yuxtaposiciones de ying y yang entre espacio positivo y negativo. Ms all de sus exposiciones, el Bass es antrin de varios programas educativos que demuestran con xito que el arte es un catalizador para la creatividad y el crecimiento positivo, especialmente en el rea de la educacin en la primera infancia. Muchos visitantes tambin aprovechan las animadas charlas sobre arte que acoge el museo. Para llegar a pblicos nuevos y diversos, ahora el Bass est abierto los viernes hasta las 9:00 p. m. Tenemos clases, conferencias, eventos sociales e inauguraciones de exposiciones, coment Silvia Karman Cubi, directora ejecutiva y jefe conservadora de obras del Bass. Puede venir una noche y parar a visitarnos antes o despus de cenar, y tomar una de estas clases o simplemente entrar a ver nuestras exposiciones abiertas al pblico. A nales del ao pasado, la Ciudad de Miami Beach otorg al Bass una subvencin de $7.5 millones de dlares para su ampliacin. El museo utilizar los fondos para construir dos aulas adicionales adyacentes al ya existente Lindemann Family Creativity Center. Con una entrada independiente, el espacio estar abierto y ser accesible despus de las horas normales de apertura del museo y por las noches. El diseo funcional y mejorado ofrecer un 47% ms de espacio para programacin dentro de la misma supercie de construccin del museo, seal Cubi. Esto contribuir a mejorar el compromiso del museo con su programacin de exposiciones y educacin, de una manera responsable y sostenible. El Bass est trabajando en este diseo con los arquitectos Arata Isozaki & Associates y David Gauld. La ampliacin comenzar en abril del prximo ao. En 2014 cumplimos 50 aos y estamos sumamente emocionados con el rumbo que est tomando nuestro museo (y Miami Beach), aadi Cubi. Con tanta oferta cultural en Miami, el futuro de los museos no es el futuro, es el ahora. El Bass dar inicio a la celebracin de su 50.o aniversario con un concierto al aire libre de la Orquesta Sinfnica de Miami (MISO), el prximo 26 de enero.

MIAMI BEACH IS A LOT GREENER

The Ofce of CIP is rolling out three more green lots this year:
Washington Avenue and 9 Street Collins Avenue and 13 Street Harding Avenue and 69 Street
ESTACIONAMIENTOS MS VERDES EN MIAMI BEACH
Shari Holbert-Lipner In Miami Beach, concerns about the environment and nding a good place to park go hand-in-hand. The engineers in the citys Public Works Department have redesigned four surface parking lots one in North Beach and three in South Beach that incorporate strategies for adequate parking, as well as minimize the impacts on our environment. In these lots, there is more green space and less impervious concrete in the surface conguration than ever before. The added green space provides pervious ground to absorb rainwater and some street run-off. In addition to the conventional drainage system incorporated in the lots, the design also includes porous concrete in the parking spots, which allows standing water to seep into the aggregate and prevents more pollutants from ushing into the drains. The new designs use criteria established by the United States Green Building Council. Although the lots are not certied as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects, because those standards only apply to buildings, the City followed the Councils rating system to choose elements that would be applicable to construction of surface lots. The Ofce of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) is implementing these design strategies and has completed the rst of the new lots at 10 Street and Washington Avenue. All of the large trees were retained in this lot, and added were more native plant material. By planting Florida-friendly species, maintenance requires less water than non-native plants. Additionally, through maintaining the existing canopy, there is a reduced heat island effect. The heat island effect is caused by paved surfaces, such as parking lots, buildings and rooftops, soaking up the heat energy from the sun, which in turn warms the surrounding air. This causes an increase in temperature of the areas around these paved surfaces as compared to spaces that have cooling elements, such as trees and natural vegetation. Since cities tend to have a lot of paved surfaces, the resulting heat forms a bubble of hotter temperatures around the city as compared to the surrounding rural areas, creating heat island. Increasing green spaces within cities helps cool the heat island effect, which in turn reduces air pollution and negative health effects related to heat and pollution, said Sandra Lee, president of the South Florida U.S. Green Building Council. The environmental impact of lighting, which we know is essential for safety, was also taken into consideration during the design phase of these lots. Less-costly LED lighting was chosen. This reduces the carbon footprint by having a longer lifespan and drawing less energy than conventional lights. We take lighting into consideration in a variety of ways, added Elizabeth Wheaton, environmental resources manager for the City of Miami Beach. For example, for any lot close to the ocean, we utilize amber LED lights, which are turtle-friendly. The new lot at 10 Street and Washington Avenue also incorporates materials designed to address water retention. Looking to the future, other designs will incorporate water retention areas that will actually recycle the water and use it to irrigate the landscaping, noted Wheaton. Another added bonus of the 10 Street and Washington Avenue lot redesign: gaining two additional parking spaces.

En Miami Beach, la preocupacin por el medio ambiente y el inters por contar con buenos sitios de estacionamiento van de la mano. Los ingenieros del Departamento de Obras Pblicas de la ciudad han rediseado cuatro zonas de aparcamiento superciales una en North Beach y tres en South Beach que integran estrategias de estacionamiento adecuado, al mismo tiempo que minimizan el impacto sobre el medio ambiente. En la conguracin supercial de estas zonas, hay ms espacios verdes y menos concreto impermeable que nunca. Los espacios verdes aadidos brindan un suelo permeable para absorber el agua de lluvia y algo de drenaje vial. Adems del sistema convencional de desage integrado en las zonas, el diseo incluye hormign poroso en los lugares de estacionamiento, lo cual hace posible que el agua estancada se ltre en el conglomerado y evita la evacuacin de ms contaminantes por las alcantarillas.
Los nuevos diseos utilizan criterios establecidos por el Consejo de Construccin Verde de los Estados Unidos. Si bien las zonas no tienen certicacin como proyectos LEED (liderazgo en energa y diseo ambiental) dado que las normas correspondientes se reeren nicamente a edicios, la Ciudad sigui el sistema de calicacin del Consejo para elegir los elementos que seran aplicables a la construccin de aparcamientos superciales. La Ocina de Proyectos para Mejoras Capitales est implementando estas estrategias de diseo y ha completado la primera de las nuevas zonas en 10 Street and Washington Avenue. En esta zona se conservaron todos los rboles grandes y se aadi ms material vegetal nativo. Las especies vegetales propias de Florida necesitan menos agua para su mantenimiento que las no nativas. Adems, al mantener el follaje existente, se reduce el efecto isla de calor. Se trata del efecto causado por supercies pavimentadas, como aparcamientos, edicios y terrazas, que absorben la
energa trmica del sol, lo cual a su vez calienta el aire ambiente. Esto causa un incremento de la temperatura de las reas que rodean a estas supercies pavimentadas en comparacin con aquellos espacios que tienen elementos de enfriamiento tales como rboles y vegetacin natural. Dado que las ciudades tienden a tener muchas supercies pavimentadas, el calor resultante forma una burbuja de temperaturas ms altas en la ciudad en comparacin con las reas rurales circundantes, lo que crea la isla de calor. Aumentar los espacios verdes dentro de las ciudades ayuda a aliviar el efecto isla de calor, lo que a la vez reduce la contaminacin del aire y los efectos negativos para la salud relacionados con el calor y la contaminacin, seala Sandra Lee, presidenta del Consejo estadounidense de Construccin Verde para South Florida. El impacto ambiental del alumbrado, que como sabemos es esencial para la seguridad, tambin se tom en consideracin durante la fase de diseo de estas
zonas. Se eligi el alumbrado con LED, que es de menor costo. Este ayuda a reducir la huella de carbono gracias a una vida til ms larga y a que demanda menos energa que las luces convencionales. De varias maneras tenemos en cuenta la iluminacin, aade Elizabeth Wheaton, directora de recursos ambientales para la Ciudad de Miami Beach. Por ejemplo, para cualquier estacionamiento cercano al ocano, utilizamos luces LED mbar, que son mejores para las tortugas. El nuevo aparcamiento de 10 Street and Washington Avenue tambin integra materiales diseados para tratar la retencin de agua. De cara al futuro, otros diseos incluirn reas de retencin que en realidad reciclarn el agua y la usarn para irrigar los jardines, anota Wheaton. Una ventaja ms del rediseo en 10 Street and Washington Avenue es que aade dos nuevos espacios de aparcamiento.

Between the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay and miles of canals, its evident that water is plentiful on Miami Beach. However, there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to the citys waterways. Miami Beach is surrounded by life in our waters. Waterways, both natural and man-made, are a habitat for many native plants and animals. You can see the mangroves protecting the shoreline and the migratory birds wading in the shallows. Wait a little longer and you may notice a fin cut through the water,
belonging to a dolphin or a shark. And if you are really lucky, you may even spot an endangered manatee or sea turtle coming up for air. Other wildlife teeming along our shorelines include: sea fans, stony corals, sponges, rays, sea horses, tarpon, juvenile reef fish and even crocodiles on occasion. Snorkeling along the citys seawalls, I am amazed by the diversity of soft and hard corals that thrive at the foundation of this urban paradise said Colin Foord of Coral Morphologic.
If you look below the surface, you see that there is a whole other world living among us. Miami Beachs waterways are carpeted with sea grasses, fluorescent coral colonies thrive along the sea walls and thousands of colorful fish populate our waters. Did you know that southeast Florida is the only place in the whole world you will find Johnsons seagrass? Johnsons seagrass was the first marine plant listed as a threatened species.

COSTAS VIVAS
Si observamos bajo la superficie, descubrimos que debajo de nosotros hay todo un otro mundo. En Miami Beach, las vas de agua estn alfombradas con plantas marinas, los malecones estn cubiertos por colonias fluorescentes de corales, y miles de peces coloridos pueblan nuestras aguas. Saba usted que el sureste de Florida es el nico lugar del mundo en el que pueden encontrarse algas Johnson? Estas algas fueron la primera planta marina clasificada como especie amenazada. Yo practico kayak todos los fines de semana, cuenta Dave Doebler, residente
Entre el Ocano Atlntico, Biscayne Bay y millas de canales, est claro que Miami Beach tiene agua en abundancia. Sin embargo, cuando de vas de agua se trata, hay mucho ms para ver que lo que aparece a simple vista. Miami Beach est rodeado de vida gracias a sus aguas. Las vas de agua, tanto naturales como creadas por el hombre, son el hbitat de gran cantidad de plantas y animales nativos. En ellas podemos ver los manglares que protegen las costas y las aves migratorias que vadean por aguas poco profundas. Si nos detenemos, podemos ver cmo se abre paso la aleta de un delfn o un
tiburn. Y, si tenemos suerte, hasta podemos divisar un manat en vas de extincin o una tortuga marina saliendo a la superficie a tomar aire. Otras especies que abundan en nuestras costas son: gorgonias, corales ptreos, esponjas, rayas, hipocampos, tarpones, pececillos de arrecife e incluso cocodrilos de vez en cuando. Cuando buceo cerca de los malecones de la ciudad, me sorprende la diversidad de corales suaves y duros que crecen en la base de este paraso urbano, comparte Colin Foord, de Coral Morphologic.
de Miami Beach. Es un excelente ejercicio y la mejor manera de disfrutar realmente de la belleza natural de nuestra ciudad. Miami Beach se esfuerza por mantener un alto grado de limpieza en toda la ciudad, y nuestras vas de agua no son una excepcin. El contratista en esta materia recoge desechos flotantes y escombros marinos de los canales, 8 a 12 veces por mes, eliminando en promedio ms de 300 lb de basura en cada viaje. Esto representa 3,500 lb por mes; 42,000 lb por ao y ms de 20 toneladas por ao.
GREEN SPACE ESPACIO ECOLGICO
I kayak every weekend, says Dave Doebler, Miami Beach resident, Its great exercise and the best way to really experience the natural beauty of our city. Miami Beach strives to maintain a high level of cleanliness citywide, and our waterways are no exception. The citys waterway contractor removes floatable litter and marine debris from canals eight to 12 times per month, removing an average of over 300 lbs of garbage each trip. Thats 3,500
lbs per month; 42,000 lbs per year and over 20 tons per year. While the city is doing its part, there are plenty of ways individuals can help maintain Miami Beachs waterways clean. Throughout the year, the city in partnership with the non-profit Environmental Coalition of Miami and the Beaches (ECOMB), hosts volunteer cleanup events. If you cannot make it to a volunteer cleanup, you can still make a difference. Its simple, dont litter. Trash
on the streets makes its way, either by wind or rain, into our waterways. Litter also clogs our stormwater infrastructure, which is vital to keeping our streets from flooding. Additionally, the Teen Job Corps provides opportunities for high school students to give back to their community and the environment through cleanup events at Park View Island. To report waterway litter and marine debris, please contact the Environmental Specialist Margarita Wells at margaritawells@ miamibeachfl.gov or at 305.673.7080.

Durante todo el ao, en colaboracin con la entidad sin fines de lucro Environmental Coalition of Miami and the Beaches (ECOMB), la ciudad organiza brigadas de limpieza a cargo de voluntarios. Incluso si no participa en estas actividades de limpieza, usted puede contribuir a un cambio simplemente al no arrojar basuras. Los desechos arrojados en las calles son arrastrados por el viento o la lluvia hasta nuestras aguas. Asimismo, atascan la infraestructura para aguas pluviales, la cual es vital para evitar inundaciones en nuestras calles. El Teen Job Corps tambin brinda oportunidades a los estudiantes de high school para que colaboren con la comunidad y el medio ambiente mediante brigadas de limpieza en Park View Island.

Bullies: Not Welcome

This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones, and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in this country experience. However, Miami Beach is No Place for Hate. Fostering a bias-free environment in schools is a top priority. Miami Beach recently earned the Anti-Defamation Leagues (ADL) prestigious Community of Respect designation for its commitment to enhance the appreciation of diversity and foster harmony amongst diverse groups. Dedicated educators, concerned parents and municipal leaders are working together to establish safe learning environments for all children in Miami Beach. Since its inception, the ADL has impacted the lives of over 56 million children and adults nationally through its anti-bullying and prejudicereduction programs, said Lily Medina, education project director, Anti-Defamation League. In partnership with the ADL, the City is funding the implementation of the No Place for Hate initiative this school year. In fact, all six public schools on Miami Beach will earn the ADL No Place for Hate designation. I consider the Anti-Defamation Leagues No Place for Hate program as a best practice strategy to reduce bullying and violence in MiamiDade County Public Schools (M-DCPS). This initiative complements our efforts in student services by providing educators and students with the additional resources to ensure that anti-bias and diversity is celebrated, added Deborah A. Montilla, district director, M-DCPS Division of Student Services.
By Dr. Leslie D. Rosenfeld Activities currently underway in Miami Beach public schools target the entire school climate rather than just specic peer interactions. These activities not only work to teach students how to communicate appropriately and demonstrate positive social leadership, they redesign school hallways and classrooms to create materials and spaces focused on community and acceptance. Its important that our students believe that they do have the power to respect differences and spread kindness. Together, we have been able to raise awareness of this important initiative, said Rene Bellmas, principal, Nautilus Middle School. Public schools and facilities across Miami Beach promote zero tolerance with regards to harassment and bullying by identifying clear consequences for students involved in such incidents. Ive been a victim of bullying. With the No Place for Hate training, Ive realized I can help my peers by making them feel safe and more comfortable at school, said Danielle Ravelo, tenth grader, Miami Beach Senior High. I no longer wait for someone else to stand up. I stand up for others, chimed in another tenth grader, Cheldina Jean. Eliminating bullying requires parents, educators and the community to remain rm on negative peer interactions. As a designated community of respect, Miami Beach is committed to fostering an environment of tolerance and respect.

No Hay Lugar Para el Odio

Este ao, alrededor de 13 millones de nios de los Estados Unidos sern acosados en la escuela, por internet, en el autobs, en casa, a travs de sus telfonos celulares y en las calles de su ciudad, siendo esta la forma ms comn de violencia que experimentan los menores en el pas. Pero Miami Beach no es un lugar para el odio. Promover un ambiente sin discriminacin en las escuelas es una prioridad fundamental. La ciudad obtuvo recientemente la prestigiosa denominacin Comunidad de Respeto de la Anti-Defamation League (ADL), gracias a su compromiso tendiente a mejorar el aprecio por la diversidad y promover la armona entre grupos diferentes. Educadores comprometidos, padres interesados y lderes municipales estn trabajando juntos para crear entornos sanos de aprendizaje para todos los nios y nias de Miami Beach. Desde sus inicios, la ADL ha tenido un impacto sobre la vida de alrededor de 56 millones de adultos y nios a nivel nacional, a travs de sus programas para contrarrestar el acoso y reducir los prejuicios, seala Lily Medina, directora del proyecto de educacin de la ADL. En asociacin con la ADL, la ciudad est nanciando la implementacin de la iniciativa No Place for Hate para este ao escolar. En efecto, las seis escuelas pblicas de Miami Beach recibirn la designacin No Place for Hate de la ADL. El programa No Place for Hate de la ADL es una estrategia de mejores prcticas para reducir el acoso y la violencia en las Escuelas Pblicas del Condado de Miami-Dade (M-DCPS, por sus siglas en ingls). Esta iniciativa complementa nuestros esfuerzos en materia de servicios a los estudiantes, brindando a los educadores y alumnos recursos adicionales para asegurar la celebracin de la diversidad y la no discriminacin, agreg Deborah A. Montilla, directora de distrito de la Divisin de Servicios Estudiantiles de las M-DCPS.
Por la Dra. Leslie D. Rosenfeld
Las actividades que actualmente se desarrollan en las escuelas pblicas de Miami Beach apuntan a mejorar todo el clima escolar, en lugar de centrarse en interacciones especcas entre compaeros. Estas actividades sirven no solo para ensear a los estudiantes a comunicarse apropiadamente y demostrar un liderazgo social positivo, sino tambin para redisear los pasillos y los salones de clase a n de crear materiales y espacios enfocados en la comunidad y la aceptacin. Es importante que nuestros estudiantes crean en su poder para respetar las diferencias y difundir amabilidad. Juntos, hemos podido concientizar sobre esta importante iniciativa, coment Rene Bellmas, rector de Nautilus Middle School. Las instituciones y escuelas pblicas de todo Miami Beach promueven la tolerancia cero frente a los actos de intimidacin y acoso, identicando consecuencias claras para los estudiantes que participen en tales actos. He sido vctima de la intimidacin. Con la orientacin de No place for Hate, me he dado cuenta de que puedo ayudar a mis compaeros hacindolos sentirse ms seguros y cmodos en la escuela, comparti Danielle Ravelo, estudiante de dcimo grado de Miami Beach Senior High. Yo ya no espero a que otra persona acte. Yo misma acto por los dems, intervino Cheldina Jean, otra estudiante de dcimo grado. Para eliminar el acoso, se requiere que los padres, los educadores y la comunidad se mantengan rmes ante las interacciones negativas entre compaeros de escuela. Reconocida como comunidad de respeto, la ciudad de Miami Beach tiene el compromiso de fomentar un ambiente de tolerancia y respeto.

ALCOHOL
Watching the game today is a great American pastime. Unfortunately, instead of enjoying the game with family and friends, too many Americans right here, in South Florida, consume ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOL. The result is Hospital Emergency Rooms overow with people who are dangerously drunk or their victims. Children watch their parents become drunk. Domestic violence reports sky rocket. Trafc crashes and fatalities occur. Vicious and often deadly ghts break out. The list is endless... Please drink RESPONSIBLY.
