America Service Industries and Airstron host Ivan Baron, Delray Beach International Tennis Championships BY BARI AUERBACH
A
merica Service Industries (ASI), providing professional janitorial and maintenance services; and Airstron, specializing in air conditioning, refrigeration, sales, service and installations, recently hosted a very cool Aventura Marketing Council breakfast meeting featuring Ivan Baron, Tournament Chair of the 2011 Delray Beach International Tennis Championships. Taking center court, AMC Chair Cliff Schulman of Weiss, Serota, Helfman, welcomed business and community leaders gathered at the Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort along with Lewis Rossi of ASI and Maxine Lopez of Airstron. Taking the podium, Baron explained the 19th annual Delray Beach International Tennis Championships is sure to court unprecedented success. The exciting event is the world’s only combined ten-day extravaganza featuring the ATP Champions Tour (Feb. 18-22) with John McEnroe, Mats Wilander, Mark Philippoussis, Pat Cash, Todd Martin and Aaron Krickstein - plus the
ATP World Tour event (Feb. 21-27) with Andy Roddick, the #1 world-ranked Bryan Brothers, Juan Martin Del Potro, Mardy Fish and John Isner. This year’s tournament will benefit the Tico Torres Children’s Foundation, developed to assist children in need to fight hunger, disease, homelessness, neglect, abuse and illness. “The tournament started in 1993 as a small event attracting about 4,000 people,” Baron said. “Now in our nineteenth year, we’re expecting over 60,000 fans at the Delray Beach Stadium and Tennis Center and it will be seen in over 124 countries.” Emphasizing what makes the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships so different, Baron said, “It’s the only tournament in the country featuring a five day competitive exhibition event with tennis legends. We’re the only tournament in the world with the ‘VolleyGirls’ promotional team. We have the largest art mosaic windscreen created by artists who paint every side of the stadium court. And the ‘best seats in the house’ are available literally 16-feet

Sunny Isles Beach Mayor Norman S. Edelcup receives prestigious new appointment in Mount Sinai Medical Center’s Foundation Sunny Isles Beach Mayor Norman S. Edelcup recently became Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation’s newest member of the board of directors’ executive committee. Edelcup’s appointment as Secretary of the Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation is a prestigious honor that Mount Sinai found fitting to bestow upon Edelcup for his more than 30 years of support and loyalty to the hospital. “Mayor Edelcup has been instrumental in the health and welfare of our community, both as a donor and now as an officer of the Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation, “stated Mark H. Hildebrandt, Mount Sinai Foundation President. Edelcup’s association with Mount Sinai
Medical Center began in the early 1970’s when he became a Young Presidents member. “Both my parents were alive at the time and they were ill. Mount Sinai was the place where I would bring them,” Edelcup said. “They always received excellent care and that strengthened my relationship with the hospital.” In 1999, he showed
Judy Drucker to be honored as “Champion of the Arts” by Citizens Interested in Arts Acknowledging her more than 40 years as South Florida’s leading presenter of classical music and dance, Judy Drucker, internationally famed impresaria and friend to scores of the world’s most honored musical artists, will be the recipient of the Citizens Interested in Arts (CIA) 2011 Champion of the Arts Award. The award will be presented at CIA’s annual fundraising membership luncheon, Tuesday, March 8th at the Fontainebleau Hotel as recently announced by CIA President Stuart Geller. Currently busy re-launching her long-time Concert Association of Florida which will be presenting a mix of four classical and dance events to be held at both the Fillmore Miami Beach and the New World Center, Drucker is universally regarded as among the nation’s most driving forces in capturing the world’ greatest symphony orchestras, opera singers and dance companies for presentation to both Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Along the way of the more than 40 years since she began a series at Miami Beach’s Temple Beth Sholom, Drucker created long-time friendships with such classical icons as Artur Rubenstein, Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern, Pavarotti, Beverly Sills, Joan Sutherland, Renee Fleming, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Pinchas Zukerman. Now in its 12 year, the 2011 CIA luncheon, chaired by Lenore Toby-Simmons with Hollis Friemark, co-chair, will mark another step forward in their ever-growing reputation as one of the key South Florida organizations that devote total efforts and funds to financially support the diverse array of performance and visual arts organizations that color our community. To date, CIA, with a membership numbering nearly 300 volunteers with no paid employees, has recorded $600,000 in grants. Reservations are $85 with Patron tickets $100. Checks may be payable to Citizens Interested in Arts, Inc., attention Madelyn Fradkin 20350 West Country Club Drive, #4-119, Aventura, Fl, 33160 or by calling Lenore Toby-Simmons at 305733-0061.

his appreciation by making a $1.25 million gift to benefit the hospital’s Division of Anesthesiology which was renamed after him. The Norman S. Edelcup Department of Anesthesiology was dedicated in loving memory of Edelcup’s parents, Irving and Pauline Edelcup. Edelcup’s involvement with the Mount Sinai Foundation has continued to flourish
throughout the years and has resulted in better healthcare for the community that Edelcup so generously gives back to. From being a member of the Young Presidents and Founders Club to becoming a Humanitarian in the Society of Mount Sinai - an exclusive group of donors who provide the highest levels of support for the hospital – Mayor Norman S. Edelcup’s recent appointment as Secretary further solidifies his relationship with Mount Sinai. Thanks to dedicated donors like Mayor Norman S. Edelcup, Mount Sinai Medical Center can continue to foster its mission of providing high quality healthcare to our diverse community.

Medical malpractice among specialties Don’t just pay taxes, let Melnick Lilienfeld & Castonguay, CPAs plan the future at Neufeld Kleinberg & Pinkiert BY LYNN CARROLL
A woman who had been taking the same anti-seizure medication for 20 years was puzzled when she discovered the pharmacist who refilled her prescription had given her round pills instead of the oval ones she was used to. She called the pharmacy and was assured by the pharmacist that nothing was wrong. Ten days later, she fell during a grand-mal seizure and sustained a serious neck injury called a hangman’s fracture. Enter Neufeld Kleinberg & Pinkiert, a boutique personal-injury law firm with an enviable track record in medical malpractice cases. “We hired a pharmacist and a toxicologist,” says Partner Alan Neufeld, “who found that they’d given her a 25 ml. dosage instead of the 250 ml. prescribed – and that it would take about 10 days for the discrepancy to catch up with her. So we have the medication, the prescription and scientific evidence –and we will pursue this to the highest degree.” Whether it’s a faulty prescription or wrongful death due to misdiagnosis, Neufeld Kleinberg & Pinkiert attack medical malpractice suits with the research, background work and tenacity required for success. “We spend a lot of money investigating these cases,” says Neufeld. “We’re very

selective, because these are complex cases that typically involve a couple of years of litigation. We’ve been very successful because of the energy we put into each case. We hire the best experts and make use of state-of-the-art video graphics and reenactments so the jury can easily understand the issues. We sometimes organize mock trials to get a better idea of how jurists are likely to react. So when we do go to trial, we know exactly what needs to be done.” For more information, call 305-9316666, email aneufeld@neufeldlawfirm.com or visit neufeldlawfirm.com
Bob Lilienfeld –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– BY LYNN CARROLL
Solid tax planning is a year-round concern at Melnick, Lilienfeld & Castonguay, CPAs, even though a lot of people see it as a once-a-year event, says Partner Bob Lilienfeld. “The World Series is an event,” he says. “Life is an ongoing process.” In that spirit, Melnick Lilienfeld & Castonguay, CPAs keep an eye on the big picture, Lilienfeld says. “We deeply care about people accomplishing their goals,” he says, “We don’t just
prepare returns. If we cost a client even one dime, we’re not worth it. Our goal is always to save a lot more than we charge.” That work ethic has led to high clientretention. Some families on the firm’s roster have been using Melnick Lilienfeld & Castonguay, CPAs for as many as four generations. The firm offers a number of tax-saving tips. For example, clients who own stock that has grown in value might contribute it to a charitable remainder trust that can sell it tax-free, resulting in a lifetime annuity as well as a charitable deduction. Others may find itemizing deductions only once every two years makes for a better approach. Another strategy that may apply is the 529 college-savings plan to gain the benefits of tax-free earnings used to pay qualified highereducation expenses. And Melnick Lilienfeld & Castonguay, CPAs advises clients to make gifts now, up to the $13,000 limit. Lilienfeld also suggests setting up a Family Limited Partnership to keep control of gift-giving and reduce potential taxes, or funding a retirement plan in a way that avoids future tax hikes. “These are just some approaches,” Lilienfeld says. “All we need is a chance to show what we can do.” For information or to set up an appointment, call 305-937-1040, email info@mltaxcpa.com or visit mltaxcpa.com or floridataxcpa.com

Were they talking about Aventura?
Bari Auerbach LIFE IN THE CITY “To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture.” Pablo Picasso Picasso must have been talking about the wheels of progress continually turning in Aventura where enhancements such as the new Aventura Arts & Cultural Center are creating a “masterpiece” city! “Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.” Thomas Alva Edison Edison must have been talking about the never-ending quest of city leaders to improve the quality of life in Aventura …he certainly would be impressed by the undergrounding of utilities and the Police Department’s high-tech communication devices.
“All our progress is unfolding like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Emerson must have been talking about all the big ideas to make Aventura a world class community that have since come to fruition – or maybe he just had a premonition about all the great produce now available at Target’s new grocery department! “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” Franklin D. Roosevelt Roosevelt must have been talking about the success of the Aventura City of Excellence School earning “A Grades” – or maybe he knew the city would be teaching future leaders great sportsmanship with the city’s youth sports leagues. “This world owes all its forward impulses to people ill at ease.” Nathaniel Hawthorne Hawthorne must have been talking about forward-thinking citizens dissatisfied with service from the county who helped make it possible for Aventura to achieve one of the most talked about achievements: Becoming a city in November 1995.

Start of new year finds prices ticking skywards
Al Sunshine CBS MONEY WATCH It seems since the start of the new year, wherever we look we’re seeing higher prices at local checkout counters and when we open our bills in the mail. It seems that rising production costs and higher gas prices are impacting everyone’s budgets. So how can we beat these rising costs? There are several practical ways we can get a handle on our family finances. For starters, look for bulk food bargains and discount coupons. Consider better meal planning based on weekly specials. However, don’t buy something on sale that you may not really use. All you need to do is check your old gas bills to see fuel prices are rising again. Unleaded regular already is approaching $3.30 a gallon nationally and it is even higher around South Florida gas stations. You can stretch your gas mileage by taking extra weight out of your car, clean out the trunk and make sure your vehicle is well maintained and the tires are inflated properly. Residential electric bills always are a prob-
lem. But over the winter, you can turn off your air conditioning or turn up the thermostat and even open the windows to cut back electric bills. You also can save money by lowering the temperature in hot water heaters. That way they won’t have to use so much electricity. COSTLY CRUNCH It’s won’t be long until all our holiday shopping bills start coming due if you were one of the millions of people who used credit cards online or at the malls. Likewise, there also is the federal income tax deadline, this year postponed until Monday, Apr. 18. So what’s the bottom line to ensure you’re ready for it all? Howard Dvokin of Consolidate Credit Counseling Services says, “Go through and organize all your financial papers. Start fixing your financial problems now or you could be facing even more problems over the next year or so.” Yet, for most of us, better managing our money sounds a lot easier than it actually may be. Here is a quick and easy plan for double checking your financial bottom line: Now is the time to organize your tax records to get ready for this year’s Apr. 18 tax deadline. At the same time, start updating your financial balance sheet to put down, on
paper, how much you earn compared to how much you spend and owe. Next double-check the interest rates of credit cards, mortgages and car payments to see if you can refinance at lower rates. Then start going over your investments, paying special attention to your blend between savings, stocks and 401k retirement accounts. And don’t forget about doublechecking your insurance needs to make sure you are not over-spending on health, car or homeowners insurance. If you rely on just paying minimum credit
card balances, or moving money around between bank accounts, some financial insiders say those banking fees are starting to rise. “We’re absolutely going to see higher costs for credit cards, ATM’s or possibly even balance calls,” Dvokin warns. “They’re going to ‘fee’ us to death!” For more information on home budgeting, go online to <www.fpanet.org/>.

JCS staffer Rachel Menton debuted invention on TLC show A new television show hosted by Kelly Ripa featured Rachel Menton, staff member of Jewish Community Services of South Florida and president of Dizzy Dames Distributing Company. A woman of many talents, this Kendall grandmother was selected from hundreds of applicants to be a contestant on TLC’s show, “Homemade Millionaire.” The program showcases “average” women and their unique inventions, with each episode’s winner receiving assistance in manufacturing, marketing and selling her product. Menton’s product, called Socks Slots, is a device that keeps socks together in the washing machine and dryer. Born out of a practical need to keep her four children’s socks sorted, Sock Slots is color-coded so each family member has their own color. Socks stay in the slot throughout washing and drying – ready to go directly from laundry basket into clothing drawers, Rachel Menton which also eliminates the need for sorting and pairing. ––––––––––––––––––––––– For the past 18 years, she has worked as activities director at the Seymour Gelber Adult Day Care Center, a joint venture between JCS and the Miami-Dade County Department of Human Services, Elderly Services Division. The Gelber Center serves the frail elderly, focusing on families needing help for their memoryimpaired and physically-impaired loved ones. “Working with a frail senior population is my passion. Talking to them all day is what I do best,” said Menton. “So when I began to talk about my product on the show, Socks Slots, the words just fell easily from my lips.” The outcome of the show is top secret, but Menton is delighted to have been selected to be on TV with Kelly Ripa. “Homemade Millionaire” debuted on November 19th on TLC and the segment featuring Menton aired on Friday, December 17th, on Discovery Health at 10 p.m. For information about JCS, call 305-576-6550 or visit jcsfl.org

Equus is Hyundai’s entry in large luxury car segment Ron Beasley LET’S TALK CARS Hats off to Hyundai for the new top-of-theline Equus, a stunningly beautiful and technologically excellent automobile. If you’ve been thinking about buying a Mercedes S Class sedan, Lexus LS 460 or a BMW 7 Series, but the price tags have kept your wallet in your pocket, then take a look at the Equus with a starting price of under $60,000. Hyundai has had the Equus on the production boards for several years as engineers worked to come up with the company’s initial offering in the large luxury car segment. With its European design, comfortable interior and leading edge automotive technology, the 2011 Equus is Hyundai’s signal to the world that it can engineer, design and build world class vehicles. Equus is offered in two models — Signature and Ultimate. Equus Signature has a starting price of $58,000 and comes with leather seating surfaces; Alcantara suede headliner; dual automat-
ic temperature control with air quality system; a 608-watt, 17-speaker Lexicon stereo system; heated and cooled front seats; heated steering wheel trimmed in wood and leather; illuminated scuff plates; illuminated door handles and door armrest, and all the bells and whistles you find in similar luxury sedans. Equus Ultimate, with a base price of $64,500, has everything that the Signature has and more, including separate rear seats that have elaborate massage technology, power headrests and footrests, separate entertainment controls and even a small refrigerated cooler in the center console. A forward-view camera allows for better visibility and a power trunk lid is standard. Equus is powered by Hyundai’s vaunted 4.6liter Tau V-8 engine with variable valve timing and mated to the six-speed ZF automatic transmission with a manual shift mode. The combination is amazingly quick, quiet and smooth and the handling is precise. The Equus is designed on what Hyundai calls its “Fluidic Sculpture” principle. Up front, the grille is taken from the Hyundai Genesis and it has been neatly integrated with the headlights, which wrap around and blend into the fenders. The shortened front overhang allows the auto-cornering HID headlights to swivel effectively as the car turns. Along the side the car has a fast roofline and a contour crease across the top of the front

MSCC First site in South Florida to provide new prostate cancer treatment
BY JOANNA PALMER The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center is the FIRST site in South Florida to treat advanced prostate cancer patients with a new cellular immunotherapy treatment called PROVENGE®, the first in a new therapeutic class known as autologous cellular immunotherapies. Mount Sinai is one of only 50 sites throughout the country and, currently, the ONLY site in South Florida offering this new, innovative treatment for prostate cancer. Provenge was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is a restorative, not preventive, treatment for prostate cancer. It is an autologous (made from a patient’s own immune cells) cellular immunotherapy designed to stimulate a patient’s immune system to identify and target prostate cancer cells. Patients’ cells are collected, infused with an antigen then helps activates the patient’s T-cells to help fight the prostate cancer cells, and then placed back via an IV into the patient. Patients receive three infusions, two weeks apart. Each dose is manufactured and customized specifically for each patient using his immune cells so no two doses are ever the same. Clinical trials have shown that the benefits of this treatment include an extended survival rate, improved importance of liveliness, and a 22.5% reduced risk of death. In fact, 83% of men who received Provenge were able to do routine activities without any restrictions. Ronald London, age 78, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997. He is currently a stage IV cancer patient at The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center and became the first patient in South Florida to
receive the Provenge treatment since its FDA approval on January 17, 2011. London has been through several doses of radiation and hormone therapy, but the cancer keeps coming back. “It looked like my only option was aggressive chemotherapy, and I just couldn’t go through that,” said London. In fact, side effects from chemotherapy, which is the only other treatment option for many of these patients, can be just as agonizing as the disease itself. In addition, Provenge has improved survival rates over chemotherapy. “Mr. London is an ideal candidate for this type of treatment,” said Dr. Mike Cusnir, London’s oncologist at the Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center. “It would be too high-risk for a gentleman of his age to undergo any further aggressive chemotherapy, let alone surgery.” “I’d like to meet my great-grandchildren one day so, hopefully, I’m successful and I’ll be around so that I can help somebody else in my position be around, too,” said London. According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the United States and the third most common cancer worldwide. More than two million men in the United States have prostate cancer, with an estimated 217,730 new cases and approximately 32,050 men expected to die from the disease in 2010. It is important that men, beginning at age 40, get routine, yearly prostate cancer screenings. For more information on The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Provenge treatment or to schedule an appointment for your annual prostate cancer screening, please call 305-674-CARE (305-674-2273) or visit www.msmc.com.

These are just some of the great raffle prizes that will be up for grabs when Olympia Gym in Aventura hosts the 2nd annual Parkinson’s Project Benefit featuring three popular fitness modalities: Spinning, Body Forging and Zumba dance lab. On Saturday, Feb. 12, the community is invited to help support the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine and the Herbert Kay Parkinsons Chapter by participating in a 90-minute spin-a-thon (8:30 a.m.-10 a.m.), followed by a power yogalike Body Forging class (10:15 a.m.-11:30 a.m.) and a high-energy Zumba dance lab (11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m.). “Once again we’ve had a wonderful response from local businesses donating products, goods, and services to be raffled off throughout the event,” said coordinator Roy Roden. “We’ll be selling raffle tickets for all the great prizes that will be drawn during the three fitness events – and with a donation over $25, you could win a new car from Tropical Chevrolet.” If you sometimes find it hard to work up the energy to workout, just looking at the list of some of the charity event sponsors should help get you motivated: C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc; Runner’s Depot; Bulldog Nutrition; Joe’s Stone Crabs; Kosher Kingdom; Edible Arrangements; Danny Mizrachi Day Spa & Salon; Stivelman Family; Heavry Burger; Cool J’s Urban Wear & Foot Wear; Pillar; Lola’s on Harrison; Massage Envy; City Bikes; Instyle Day Spa & Salon; Morton’s The Steakhouse; Best Buy; Romero Britto; Andrea Larsen Ultimate Nutrition; Holistic Addiction Treatment Program; Udonis Haslem athletic shoes; Bill Wieger Gallery; Sail Cygnus; Dr. Mark Frankel dentistry; Whole Foods Market – and the list continues to grow.
Anticipating this year’s event will be even more successful than the first Parkinson’s Project Benefit, Roden said, “Our first event raised over six thousand dollars and continues to benefit the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Parkinson’s Program. Contributions are helping research on the national level as well as our local community as both institutions are determined and resolute in their commitment to finding a cure. “The cause of Parkinson’s disease remains a mystery, and there is still no cure. Fifteen percent of patients are diagnosed before age fifty and the disease affects one of every one hundred persons over the age of sixty. Thanks to research like that at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Parkinson’s Program, as well as PDF, many PD patients now live well into their eighties. “Having recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s myself, this event holds a very special meaning to me. It offers me an opportunity to be a part something bigger than myself. To fight the disease that’s affecting me, my family, and millions of others. “I would like to invite everyone to either participate, volunteer, pledge a contribution or come in and support us in our efforts to make this year’s event an even greater success!” For more event information, phone: Olympia Fitness Center located in Aventura’s Promenade Shops 305-9323500.

Sorting Out Sushi
Shari Lynn Rothstein-Kramer
EAT THIS... DRINK THAT I’ve been writing this column for more than a year now, and have touched on many foods, ingredients, restaurants, and cocktails. I have complimented and complained, raved and ripped apart all kinds of food-related topics, so when I was thinking about what I was going to write for this column, it dawned on me – I had never written about sushi. No big deal, except that sushi, or actually, sashimi (sushi minus the rice) is one of my favorite things in the world to eat. I can remember the first time I had it – I was in college in Syracuse, which is not exactly the seafood capital of the world. It was 1987, and people were just starting to discover what many consider a staple cuisine today. The place was Itchiban, “the” date place at the time. I went with a boy named Darren. We walked in ready for a “Benihana-style” experience, watching the chef set veggies ablaze and flip shrimp shells into the top of his hat. Instead of feasting on teppanyaki, we wound up ordering a sushi / sashimi sampler. I remember thinking, “Oooooh, how pretty.” It was so colorful and delicately assembled. As a fanatic about presentation (even when it’s just my husband and I at home), I was in heaven. I remember looking at the deep red tuna, the orange salmon perfectly marbled with the white of the fish’s fat, the soft, pale yellow color of the tamago (omelet), and how the brown of the eel appeared so earthy. But what caught my eye first and foremost was the pale green “stuff”. It wasn’t fish…was it? A vegetable, maybe? Hmmm…not sure. So I did what any true foodie would do – I stuck my chopstick in and took a healthy mouthful. At first, I wasn’t sure what to think. The taste was actually more of a smell. Then came the heat. Not the” chili-pepper-backof-the-tongue” heat, but the inside out heat. The type that starts in your nose and spreads to your eyes until every part of you is watering. Like crazy strong horseradish. OH DEAR GOD! It was the most exquisite torture. And when the “pain” stopped, I called for the waitress. She explained what wasabi was and how it was supposed to be used. And so I tried. The first bite of salmon and I was hooked. The coolness, the creaminess, the soft but not squishy texture, the fragrance (not fishy, but of the ocean) that was a juxtaposition from the heat of the wasabi. Then I tried tuna. Slightly firmer – a more steak-like quality), still oceany but crisper. And on it went. The eel was warm and a little slimier. I tried mackerel (fishy tasting, oilier, but still appealing), clean flavor of yellowtail, the pure creaminess of the scallop, the chewiness of the octopus and conch…I could go on all day. I will never forget that experience. Fast forward many years and what I have learned is that I want my fish raw – and plain. I do not want to cover the beautiful freshness and taste with soy or anything else. I do not want rice to fill me up either. Plain, raw fish…period.
Okay, I will occasionally use wasabi because that is acceptable (and delicious). What most Americans do not know is that when eating sushi (be it maki, which is a roll or nigiri, which is by the piece) the Japanese do not further season their sushi. The chef adds wasabi in preparation and therefore you are not supposed to add more (he knows how much to use, after all, it’s his job), but on sashimi it is perfectly fine to dip as desired; wasabi is used to bring out the flavor. But so I digress. It is about enjoying. And speaking of, where can you get good sushi locally? Start with Fuji Hana (305.932.8080), which used to be in Loehmann’s Plaza and has moved all the way to The Venture (that was a joke – it’s a half block move). The little place is always packed. And with good reason. The fish is fresh, the piece size is big, and the variety is significant. It also offers a mean ginger dressing, which complements its generously portioned, ice cold, crisp green salad. The price is typical Aventura – a bit higher than everywhere surrounding it - but the convenience factor outweighs the extra few bucks. I love to sit at the sushi bar and watch the chefs meticulously slice 1/8-inch thin slices of fish for Usuzukuri (thinly sliced sashimi) or build custom-created rolls (which they do without a fuss) for guests. I get a sashimi appetizer, which consists of nine pieces of fish three tuna, three salmon, three white and it’s enough for dinner. The wait staff is harried (it’s always packed!) but they’re usually very nice. Up and down Biscayne, moving south into North Miami Beach is Sushi House (305.947.6002), a sleek white “modern” environment, meant to resemble a South Beach eatery. It is much more expensive (you are paying for atmosphere and a trend dining experience) but the food is good. Many of the rolls are spicy (spicy tuna lovers – this is your place) and there is a “sort of” bar scene. The service is fine, but for me, it just never feels like home. Continuing south is Oishi Thai (305.947.4338), located in the Biscayne Commons shopping Plaza. In a “food-oriented” plaza, I have seen places come and go. Oishi has stood the test of time. It is open for lunch and dinner, and in my opinion, offers great food. The rolls are on the small side size-wise, but the sashimi is generous and the quality top-notch. And while we are not talking about Thai food today (or even cooked food for that matter), I would be remiss not to mention the exquisite hot dishes Oishi Thai offers. Cooked fish dishes, soups, noodles, and once you eat there a bunch of times, you can even ask for “off the menu items”. I also need to mention that the lychee martinis are out-of-this-world! Now let’s head back North, starting in the Aventura mall with Sushi Siam (305.932.8955). When I ate there for the first time I was pleasantly surprised. I do not think much of the mall, and all of the “chain” stores and restaurants that come with. But this place, which is located right across from the movie theater, is delish. For $2o-something dollars, order the lobster roll, which never disappoint. The meat of a whole lobster is served
cooked in chunks, as well as maki. The footlong plate comes out with fanfare and grandeur and tastes awesome. The eatery also offers cooked dishes and teppanyaki.

NAFH National Bank: Dedicated to serving Aventura office customers BY BAY PROBY With the integration of Turnberry Bank and Metro Bank of Dade County into one well-capitalized financial institution, NAFH National Bank is dedicated to serving local business and retail customers, according to Luis Yepez, manager of the Aventura office located at 20295 N.E. 29 Place. “Safe, sound and secure with money to lend is the best description of NAFH National Bank,” said Yepez. “We offer Internet banking, and our residential mortgage specialists take care of our customers with quick approvals. We also provide traditional banking products for business and customers, supported by easy processing services.” According to Yepez, the bank also offers special accounts for persons over 50; students and civic employees; and a full array of business banking products including commercial accounts and cash management services. Through an investment of capital from North American Financial Holdings (NAFH), its parent company, NAFH National Bank is now in a growth mode, according to Evan Rees, South Florida market president and commercial banking executive for NAFH National Bank. NAFH National Bank now has 10 South Florida offices – eight in Miami-Dade and two in Broward. “We have the ability to lend up to $20 million to small and mid-size business customers, and we are highly responsive to those requests,” he said. “We also have money for other business loans, consumer loans and retail mortgages – just stop in at any of our convenient branches.” “Our customers will see the same friendly, professional faces,” continued Yepez. “And when you call us for assistance, you’ll be speaking with your own personal banker, not some call center or
automated phone system. We are stronger than ever with same great service that you have grown to expect from us.” Yepez added that NAFH National Bank operates on the principles of exceptional attention to the financial needs of its customers and the highest quality financial services. “We offer unparalleled, personal service and superior financial products, as well as new state-of-the-art technology,” he said. Noting that both Turnberry and Metro Bank have long traditions of community involvement, Yepez said, “As NAFH National Bank, we will continue to be leaders in our community, and plan to make even greater contributions in the future.” NAFH was formed in July, 2010 to invest in strategically important financial institutions located in important banking markets. Collectively, the bank now operates 10 branches in South Florida and 13 branches in South Carolina. The growing family of North American Financial Holdings’ banks presently has assets of approximately $3.2 billion.
