More than 450 community leaders and philanthropists recently celebrated Chai Lifeline Southeast’s 18th anniversary Legacy of Hope Gala at the Westin Diplomat & Spa in Hollywood, where Aventura real estate developer Claudio Stivelman was guest of honor.

Chai Lifeline Southeast is the regional arm of an international children’s health-service organization that provides emotional, social and financial support programs to families with children who have life-threatening illnesses or serious chronic conditions.

Stivelman, who was cited for his ongoing commitment to easing the suffering of children, said the dinner was the most touching he has ever experienced.

“The bonding and huge emotional wave,” said Stivelman, “will surely increase the support for such an important organization.”

As a developer, Stivelman has interests across Latin America and the U.S. In the past decade he has led his company, Shefaor Development, to success through real estate investments in and along the northern coast of Miami-Dade County, including Thunder Alley in Aventura.

Chai Lifeline also expressed thanks for Stivelman’s support of its annual summer camps in the Catskill Mountains, which are arranged for 340 very sick children, many of whom arrive in wheelchairs. Organizers say the two-week sessions give these children a chance to experience the activities and environment typical of overnight camps for healthy children. Participants engage in swimming and boating, take part in crafts and creative activities, play sports, and perform in interactive shows and concerts. At the same time, Chai Lifeline’s camps provide one-on-one counseling and rigorous medical supervision.

In addition to such retreats and recreational programs, Chai Lifeline Regional Director Ellen Weiss said her organization’s programs include medical information and referrals, hospital visits and respite, counseling, tutoring, holiday parties, and weekly deliveries of fresh produce and baked goods. She said the region’s volunteers also act as Big Brothers and Sisters, and welcome families who arrive here from around the world for medical care.

Without a Valentine

Patricia C. Frank FRANKLY SPEAKING A Valentine is someone who loves you or someone you love romantically. A Valentine is someone with whom you share strong feelings of intimacy and passion. Ideally, it is someone who returns your feelings of love and affection.

Hopefully, your valentine is also your partner in life.

Not everyone has a Valentine. Some people never experience romantic love in all its glory. They never experience the ardor and intensity of a deep, mutual and emotional connection. They seem to attract and choose inappropriate and unavailable romantic partners. If you find yourself in that situation take heart you can change your situation. If you wish to have a romantic love in your life you need to change certain things. What you have been thinking, feeling and doing has not worked.

When something isn’t working you need to tweak it and fix it. Take a look at

yourself in a full-length mirror both clothed and unclothed. How is your body?

Does your weight project the image of someone who has control over their emotional issues and does not use food to avoid them? What message is your appearance sending? Are you projecting a clean, neat person who has enough self-esteem to care about themselves and how they look?

Don’t just change your external appearance listen to your thoughts and words.

Are you critical, discouraged, or depressed? Do you feel inadequate or insecure?

If you are worried about money you will attract poor or jobless individuals. If you are projecting a strong image you will attract weak or dependent individuals. If you are projecting a caregiver image then you will attract damaged or needy individuals. Think about some changes inside of yourself that you can make to project a different image. Then take action and work on your issues.

Consider how you spend your time. It happens to be true that you will never meet someone at home. You need to be out and about. Remember, you deserve and are entitled to a heartthrob and a Valentine.

Greater Miami Jewish Federation North Dade encourages community involvement Recent program for GMJF North Dade demonstrates the community’s cultural diversity (l-r) Nancy Zaretsky (U.S.); Federation Women’s Philanthropy President Mojdeh Khaghan Danial (Iran); Karen Marcus (South Africa); Laura Sion (England); Silvia Assor (Venezuela); Daphna Bentata (Venezuela); Ana-Karina Politano (Ecuador)

Walk into virtually any restaurant or store in Aventura and surrounding neighborhoods, and you will hear people of all ages speaking Spanish, French, Russian, Hebrew and Yiddish. It is within this diverse environment that the Greater Miami Jewish Federation has established a strong presence, with a North Dade Branch offering a wide variety of programs and activities that address the needs and interests of this demographically varied area.

Based at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center, the North Dade Branch brings together the multicultural and multigenerational Jewish population through a variety of philanthropic, educational, social, volunteer and advocacy programs. Topics run the gamut from programs that focus on religion or history to others that touch on political subjects of Jewish concern. At the same time, the Branch sponsors purely social activities and ones that appeal to the area’s individual cultural groups.

“Our differences may be apparent, but our common heritage and commitment to a strong Jewish future bind us as one united Jewish community,” said North Dade Branch Chair Amy Chafetz. “And based on the amazing turnout at our events and programs, it’s obvi-

ous how much people want to share their experiences with one another.”

With the largest Jewish population in Miami-Dade County, North Dade also plays a crucial role in the Annual Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign, which supports the social-service, humanitarian and educational needs of Jews in Miami, in Israel and 64 other countries around the world. The North Dade Branch sponsors its own programs to generate support for the Campaign, which strengthens such vital Jewish institutions as the JCC, Jewish day schools, synagogue religious schools, youth programming, and more. The North Dade Branch also proudly takes a leadership role in countywide fundraising events that reflect a communal commitment to social justice and volunteerism.

“Our tradition teaches us that all Jews are responsible for one another,” said Gary Mars, Vice Chair of the North Dade Branch. “By uniting under the banner of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, we meet that obligation to our brothers and sisters at home and abroad.”

To learn about upcoming programs being offered by Federation’s North Dade Branch, visit JewishMiami.org or call 305-705-0800.

Once again it’s time to step up to the tee and take some bold strokes on behalf of the Aventura-North Miami Beach Lions Club.

The Lions Club is sponsoring its Sixth Annual Charity & Golf Tournament with a 1 p.m. shotgun start April 29th at the Pembroke Lakes Country Club, 10500 Taft Street, Pembroke Pines. Registration and refreshments begin at 11 a.m.

Proceeds from the tourney benefit the Lions Club Back-to-School Shopping Spree, which helps underprivileged schoolchildren buy school supplies and clothing at local stores.

“The impact on the lives of these children as they start the school year has been phenomenal,” says Carmen Gomez, 2010-11 secretary for the Aventura North Miami Beach Lions Club, an alliance formed among all District 35-A Lions Clubs to make the tournaments successful. “You and your organization can help us make a difference.”

Gomez says last year’s golf tournament and dinner raised $10,000, and that the program since 2002 has raised twice that.

She says the funds are also used for other Lions Club charity programs.

Sponsorships start at $150 for a Tee sign and $1,000 for an individual, which also includes recognition at the tournament and registration for one golfer. Corporate packages at $2,500 include the above, plus an onsite banner and registration for a quartet of players.

“Meshuggah-Nuns” Nunsense Musical, Grand Finale to Double Chai Theatrical Series at Aventura Arts & Cultural Center In the fifth theatrical outing of the Nunsense musical series, the beloved Little Sisters of Hoboken take to the high seas in Meshuggah-Nuns from Wed., Apr. 27th through Sun., May 8th at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center.

The grand finale of the inaugural season of Double Chai Theatrical Series presented by Mazel Musicals, Inc. and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts is a musical comedy celebration of Catholic and Jewish traditions that finds theater’s

favorite nuns dancing the hora, performing a klezmer polka and balancing bottles on their heads.

Set on the “Faiths of All Nations” cruise, the sisters pitch in to put on a show with the only actor to escape the sea sickness that felled the rest of his Fiddler on the Roof cast. The would-be Tevye and the sisters come up with an ecumenical fun-fest performing songs that include “Say It In Yiddish,” “Contrition,” “If I Were a Catholic” and the disco-era

“Matzo Man.” In keeping with the format that has made the Nunsense series audience favorites around the nation, MeshuggahNuns features audience participation with a magic show, a salute to the cinematic shipboard disasters and a visit from the hand puppet Sister Mary Annette. Oneliner jokes and “walk-ons” featuring both convent and Jewish humor keep audiences laughing throughout the show as cast members pop out of portholes and

doorways.

Meshuggah-Nuns is directed by Nunsense creator Dan Goggin who received the 1986 Outer Critics’ Circle Awards given to Nunsense for Best Musical, Best Book and Best Music.

Showtimes are Wed. through Fri. at 8 p.m.; Sat. at 2 and 8 p.m.; and Sun. at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $36. Tickets and group discounts are available by calling 954-462-0222 or select a seat online at aventuracenter.org

‘Gimme a Spring Break’ a venti cup” three times fast!

Bari Auerbach LIFE IN THE CITY Now that spring is here, it would really be nice if you could say “Gimme a Spring Break!” and get some like these…

Movie Breaks…Wouldn’t it be great if they’d agree to give you a break and take $5 off if the movie was really bad? Better yet, theaters should pay you to go see flicks far from top critic picks that wind up on DVD’s the next day!

Coffee Breaks: If you get a coffee drink at Starbucks every day, it could add up to at least $900 a year or more! That’s why customers deserve a coffee break like getting a discount if you can say “iced grande non-fat, decaf, sugar-free, vanilla café latte with extra ice in

Egg Breaks: If you think you might have dozens of leftover colored Easter eggs this year, it would be great if you could turn them in at local restaurants in return for a break on breakfast omelets…and maybe the savings could be even more if you only eat the egg whites!

Bread Breaks: After Passover, anyone who still has lots of matzo boxes should be entitled to trade them in and get a price break on bread at the Publix bakery. Then again, since cutting back on carbs for eight days may result in significant weight loss, you might want to ask for a high protein steak break instead!

Speeding Break: If an Aventura police officer pulls you over for speeding, just say “Gimme a break!” Odds are you’ll get a warning instead of a ticket if you explain you were in a big rush to get to the mall for the opening of the new Louis Vuitton store – or to redeem a coupon before all the spring sales end!

Yes, Pasta! Trattoria Italiana recently hosted a networking luncheon for Aventura Marketing Council’s Aventura Young Professionals highlighting their “create your own custom pasta” concept and $8 lunch specials - just two authentic Italian reasons why Yes, Pasta! is positively like no other restaurant in the neighborhood.

Yes, Pasta! proprietor Flaminia Morin and AYP Chair Jeff Levinson of Sabadell United Bank welcomed a great turnout of under-45 professionals gathered at the new trattoria capturing the true flavor of Italy located close to home in North Miami’s Biscayne Commons shopping plaza at 14871 Biscayne Boulevard.

Many AYP members who had seen Yes, Pasta! recently featured on NBC Miami’s cooking segment “South Florida Sizzles” were especially anxious to express their pasta creativity and join the power lunch crowd appreciating $8 lunch specials offered Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Word of mouth about Yes, Pasta! is quickly spreading thanks to rave reviews exclaiming: “Yes, Pasta! is perfect for fast, casual yet quality dining, serving a little piece of Italy while catering to health-conscious families and professionals on the go! Choose from seven different pastas (plus whole wheat and gluten free options); fifteen authentic Italian sauces; and, poultry, vegetable or seafood add-ons.”

Leaders from Williams Island POA, Citibank, Stern Bloom Media, AllState, Wise Matchmaking and MultiLingua agreed it’s easy as 1-2-3 to get exactly what you want - the way you want it at Yes, Pasta! (1) Choose your pasta; (2) Choose your sauce; (3) Choose add-ons (including mushrooms, broccoli, mozzarella, ham, chicken, bacon, meatballs, smoked salmon, shrimp, baby clams, ahi tuna, calamari and mussels.)

Friends from Melnick, Lilienfeld & Castonguay, CPA’s, IT Doctors, Costco, Fidelity Investments, Oppenheimer & Co., Grill on the Alley and The Sweet Tooth expressed compliments to the chef for an expansive lunch menu also featuring appetizers, salads, gourmet paninis, and chicken with pasta – plus a dinner menu including authentic Italian entrees prepared with pan seared salmon, red snapper, chicken, veal and NY Steak.

Teams from Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, Comcast, Total Bank, Eggwhites Catering, Sun Life Stadium and Circle of Lifesaving planned on joining the Yes, Pasta! Club to receive discounts, gifts and news updates.

Colleagues from FIU, Welcome/Beinvenidos Visitors Magazine, ThyssenKrupp Elevator, Jay Steven Levine Law Group, Kent Security and Angelica Montealegre, CPA were happy to hear the authentic Italian taste of Yes, Pasta! can also come to your home or office thanks to fast delivery and catering services.

Fitness enthusiasts from Equinox, Elite Care at Home, Miami Beach Community Health Center, FastCare, the office of Dr. Richard Galitz, Seo4Anyone.com, Velocity Processing and Success for Kids also agreed pasta is a good source of essential nutrients. A half cup serving of spaghetti contains a mere 99 calories, less than half a gram of fat and less than 5 mgs of sodium. Before the AYP luncheon was over, no one could say no to Yes, Pasta! desserts like Tiramisu and Italian chocolate soufflé…Howard Fabian of Fabian Realty won a $50 gift card… and everyone planned to come back soon for lunch or dinner at Yes, Pasta! – where the freedom of pasta choice is positively like no other! .

A Breach in Security

Rev. Wil Keyser RELIGION For the past few years we have seen a major emphasis on security at important places around the world.

We have also experienced occasions where even the most stringent efforts to make someplace ‘secure’ fail to live up to expectations. Those events are referred to as A Breach In Security. The result is that one side is euphoric and the other side is embarrassed. One side claims victory while the other scurries to make an explanation and a good excuse for the breach.

So it was about 2000 years ago in Jerusalem. Those opposed to Jesus of Nazareth, because he claimed to be the Son of God, were successful in convincing Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor, to allow the crucifixion of an innocent man.

Pilate’s wife had wisely advised him, “Do not have anything to do with that innocent man.” If it had been Pilate’s plan he would have done well to listen to his wife. But it wasn’t Pilate’s plan. It was God’s plan!

Therefore, Pilate allowed his Governmental position to over-rule good judgment.

When the crucifixion was completed and Jesus was declared dead by the Roman soldiers who were on guard duty a rich man named Joseph, from the town of Arimathea, along with his friend, Nicodemus, went to Governor Pilate to request the body of Jesus in order to give him a proper burial. Permission was granted and they took the body, wrapped it in linen cloth with much spices and placed it in a new tomb owned by Joseph.

The record shows that on the next day the Chief Priests and the Leaders of the Pharisees went to Pilate. “Sir,” they said,

“We remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, after three days I will rise again.” So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day.

Otherwise His disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people He has been raised from the dead.” Pilate gave the order: “Take a guard and make the tomb as secure as you know how.” So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting a guard.

At dawn the next day there was a violent earthquake.An Angel of the Lord came down and rolled back the stone and sat on it. When the women who were followers of Jesus came to the place to add more spices to the grave clothes the Angel said: “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen just as He said.” That was the ultimate Breach In Security!!

Jesus’ followers were euphoric! They claimed victory!

As with any Breach In Security, the guards who were on duty reported to the Chief Priests all that had happened. They were embarrassed!! The next move was obvious. The Chief Priests and Elders met together and scurried to devise a plan. They gave the guards a large sum of money telling them to say they had fallen asleep during the night and His disciples stole the body. In keeping with their embarrassing security failure they created the cover-up: “Just in case word gets to Governor Pilate we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

At the end of the day the truth was revealed. The Breach In Security could no longer be concealed. Jesus appeared alive to the women, to a pair of His disciples, then to a larger group and then to about 500 people at one time. One side was euphoric and remains so to this day. Jesus has risen, just as He said!

My wife, Claudia, and I trust that you will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus with all the euphoria of His disciples.

Arsht Center wins 30 ADDY Awards in three years Advertising Federation of Greater Miami honors Arsht Center’s advertising and marketing excellence with Six 2011 ADDY Awards The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County took home six ADDY Awards for advertising and marketing excellence at the Advertising Federation of Miami’s 2011 award ceremony. The ADDYs are the advertising and marketing industry’s most significant awards competition, with more than 60,000 entries annually.

The Adrienne Arsht Center’s six awards recognized marketing efforts and advertising pieces surrounding a number of shows and programs, including the 2010 Jazz Roots series, Babalu, the Center’s summer 2010 brochure, and the Adrienne Arsht Center 2010 specialty holiday chocolates package.

This year’s ADDYs marked the third-straight in which the Adrienne Arsht Center was recognized in the competition’s arts and sciences category, bringing the Center’s three-year award total to 30 ADDY Awards. The Adrienne Arsht Center will now advance to the contest’s regional level.

“Receiving thirty ADDY awards over the last three years is a

great honor,” said M. John Richard, President and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “Connecting and communicating with the public is one of our chief goals as a community-based institution, and our marketing team has excelled in ensuring our programs and messages resonate with a diverse set of audiences.

Congratulations to our marketing department and their partners for their success in producing award-winning work and continuing to inspire us all to strive for creative excellence.”

The success of the Adrienne Arsht Center’s marketing campaigns demonstrated a direct, positive impact on the organization’s bottom-line in 2010: the Center sustained strong ticket sales throughout the year and dramatically grew subscription bases for several of its key series.

The Center’s marketing approach was consistent with its institutional mission. Just as the Center’s programs reflect the diverse makeup of South Florida, its promotional efforts capture the public’s attention by appealing to patrons’ interests in a creative and innovative manner – via traditional advertising, direct marketing, publicity, events and social media.

“It’s safe to say that no other business or organization has had a greater impact on Miami’s cultural landscape over the past five years, and I like to think that our marketing efforts have been a key factor in that success,” said Andrew Goldberg, Vice President of Marketing at the Adrienne Arsht Center. “Our marketing campaign is responsible for much more than filling seats.

By bringing 500,000 people to Downtown Miami each year for performances and programs, we are making a direct, positive impact on our neighborhood’s economy and destination status.”

Upcoming performances at the Adrienne Arsht Center include The Sparrow, running through May 1st.

Children donate ambulance in celebration of their Father’s 80th Birthday Porto Vita Friends of American Friends of Magen David Adom (AFMDA) held its annual Celebration of Life Dinner chaired

by Barry and Patricia Goldstein.

During the evening, Ellen and Herb Moelis were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award and a Proclamation from the City of Aventura for their commitment to life and the People and State of Israel.

Before dinner, two ambulances were on display and dedicated before being shipped to save lives in Israel. The first was dedicated

by Herb Moelis’ children and grandchildren in honor of his 80th birthday and the other from Porto Vita Friends of AFMDA Founder Morris Deakter and Nina Korall and their families.

Ron Moelis addressed the crowd, on behalf of his siblings Cindy and Ken. “Dad and Ellen have been at the forefront of teaching his children and grand- AFMDA CEO Arnold Gerson, Porto Vita Chair Barry Goldstein, Herb and Ellen Moelis, Nina Korall, Morris, Marsha and Cheryl Deakter

children about charity and what giving is all about. When we asked what he would like for his birthday, he suggested that his gift be something charitable for Israel, an ambulance dedicated for AFMDA, a cause they believe strongly in to help the people of Israel.”

Ellen Moelis spoke about Morris Deakter being their first friend when they moved to Porto Vita ten years ago. “He was the one who exposed us to AFMDA and got us to embrace this lifesaving organization.”

All proceeds from the evening will help support the vital lifesaving services of Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s only government-mandated ambulance and emergency medical responders, providing medical, disaster, ambulance and blood services.

For more information, contact Ira Mogitz at the AFMDA office at 800-626-0046.

Despite changes, county services will continue without interruption Alina T. Hudak MANAGER The past several months have been challenging for our community. To be sure, there is a great deal of change afoot in county government.

The most important things, however, have not changed. We will respond to some 643 fire-rescue emergencies today and collect garbage from 162,353 households. We will welcome visitors at 263 public parks and care for more than 5,800 children in our Head Start and Early Head Start centers.

More than 310,000 people will crisscross the county in our buses, trains and special transportation services, and about 100,000 will crisscross the globe through Miami International Airport. We will feed

dozens of lost and stray animals, answer 9,698 calls to the 3-1-1 Answer Center and deliver 2,317 meals to 27 senior centers.

That kind of work will continue to be our focus. In one way or another, every one of our 2.5 million residents depends on us every day. On behalf of our entire workforce, we want you to know that you can continue counting on this government for the large and small things we do. Working collaboratively with chairman Joe A. Martinez and the Board of County Commissioners, it is my goal to ensure a seamless transition.

Like so many of you, I call this community home, a place where I work, live and raise my family. I am proud of the contributions made by county employees to improve our quality of life. I am committed to doing my part in leading county government so that the leaders you elect will know that we have maintained the highest standards and continued to deliver excellence every day.

Miami Jewish Health Systems celebrates 70th Anniversary with Platinum Homecoming Gala Hundreds of South Florida’s most influential philanthropists, business people, and civic leaders were transported back to their high school days during Miami Jewish Health Systems’ Platinum Homecoming Gala at Miami’s Four Season Hotel. The “high-school homecoming” themed event marked the healthcare organization’s platinum (70th) anniversary of service to the community and the evolution of its identity from Miami Jewish Home and Hospital, a small nursing home founded in 1940, to a full-scale comprehensive healthcare system serving patients of all ages across South Florida.

Guests at the MJHS Platinum Homecoming Gala were immersed in the high school experience from the time they arrived, beginning with an opportunity to pose for professional “homecoming photos” and a celebratory cocktail hour complete with cheerleaders and a marching band. Attendees were later treated to an elaborate dinner reception where they danced the night away to the music of “Libido” and enjoyed impromptu performances reminiscent of classic high-school musicals such as Happy Days, Grease and Glee. Those in

attendance splurged on “class rings” and other fine jewelry by designer David Yurman as well as raffle tickets for a 2011 Toyota Prius that has been generously donated by Toyota of South Florida.

“Our Platinum Homecoming celebration gave our supporters a chance to reflect on Miami Jewish Health Systems’ storied past and, more importantly, celebrate our bright future,” said Jeffrey P. Freimark, CEO of Miami Jewish Health Systems. “I am grateful to everyone who took part in making sure we enjoyed a festive, memorable evening filled with fine food and drinks, first-rate entertainment, and great company.”

Notable attendees included Isabel May, Hildine and Jerry Potashnick, Miami Comm. Marc Sarnoff and wife Teresa, Adrienne Arsht Center CEO John Richard and wife Lynne, Fredi and Robert Consolo, Nancy and Bob Frehling, Ellen and Louis Wolfson, Ellen and Jay Solowsky, Ira and Cynthia Leesfield, Artie Unger, Martha Mishcon, Marilyn and Chuck Klenk.

Eating for a Greater Good ... Taste of the Nation Shari Lynn Rothstein-Kramer EAT THIS... DRINK THAT

Q: What could be better than attending a culinary event, eating delicious food, and then writing about the experience?

A: Attending an event with amazing food from a number of restaurants and writing about it – for charity.

And that is exactly what I did last Wednesday at the annual S h a r e O u r Strength’s “No Kid Hungry” Taste of the Nation Palm Beach. Held at the Kravis Center , the Palm Beach Taste of the Nation is the first of South Florida’s trio of Tastes, as well as some other great events to help end hunger.

My friends Kelly Murphy and Scott Lazarus of Panache Party Rentals take a major role in all of the “Taste” events locally and have for more than 15, closer to 20 years. Kelly’s “baby” is the Fort Lauderdale event, at which she actually designs and coordinates…everything. This year is the 20th Anniversary year so buy

your tickets now this is going to be one you’ll never forget. And so I digress. They invited me to Palm Beach to sample tasty treats from local restaurants, caterers, and markets, sip beverages from water to wine; and partake in live and silent auctions –who am I to say “no” to helping end hunger? So off I went.

A little more than an hour’s drive left me nice and hungry. For the next three hours (from 6PM to 9PM), I tasted and sipped, and nibbled and imbibed. Among the 35-plus participating eateries, here’s what made the trip worth it (besides spending time with my dear friends Stacy Stern, Scott and Kelly): Hands down the BEST thing there was the Peking Duck with Coconut Sticky Rice from Echo at the Breakers Hotel . The Duck, tender and flavorful came with super crisp skin in either a leg or a breast (I went back for seconds so I can tell you both were amazing). It sat next to a cube of super sticky lightly flavored coconut rice, topped with some sesame seeds. It was so good, I did a little happy dance with each bite I took.

Coming in second place, was Chef Zack Bell of Café Boulud in the Brazilian Court Hotel , who served Braised Short-rib Ravioli. Served two per plate, it was light,

packed with flavor and really satisfying.

Rounding out my top three was 32 East’s Lemony Artichoke Soup. Served piping hot (which I love), the thick, rich soup ate like a meal. The intensity of flavors melded flawlessly. If it were the last thing I ever had to eat, I would die a happy, satisfied woman!

I would be remiss not to mention a few others, like Dada’s Spiced Maple Kurobuta Pork Belly. Served in one large bite, the incredibly fragrant maple flavor was strong but did not overtake the pork itself. Pork Belly, known for its “fat” content was more meat then fat here. Sad for some, for me incredible. The small amount of fat surrounding the meat made the texture and flavor…perfect. Other nice dishes included a Seared ahi tuna over Wakame salad with Yuzu-soy reduction from Sundy House de la Tierra ; Whole Food ‘s Gazpacho with fire-roasted corn & Key West Pink Shrimp. Served in a little martini glass, the shrimp were plentiful and while the first few sips of the soup were simply “tomato”, by the bottom of the glass, an explosion of heat hit hard. Loved it.

There were a few ceviche dishes, and noticeably less tuna and Yuzu than in years past. I found that, with a long drive

home, I was not really imbibing as much as usual either. But one thing I can’t resist is a good glass of sangria, and Guana-banas did not disappoint. Served in a large cup with plenty of ice and small diced fruit (rinds on), this white nonsparkling sangria was so sweet and refreshing that I went back for seconds. It cut through the heaviness of all the foods consumed and could have served as a palate cleanser. But don’t be fooled, it packed a punch. That’s one recipe I’d like to steal.

This was great, but the next few will be even better. Why? Because they are all in the immediate area – two of the three right here in Aventura. The Great American Bake Sale will take place on May 22 at the Aventura Mall; June 2nd is the 20th Anniversary Taste of the Nation in Fort Lauderdale at the Broward County Convention Center, and July 7th is Taste of the Nation Miami, held at the Fairmont Turnberry Isle in Aventura.

Pet Tips Brought to You by Pet Supermarket

Training Your Dog To Do Simple Tricks Once you and your pup have mastered the basic obedience commands, you can have even more fun by teaching him simple tricks.

Here are some tips: • Positive reinforcement training is a popular method. To start, choose a code word (one not used in normal conversation), or use a clicker. Sit quietly with your dog and have some treats on hand. Each time you use the code word or clicker, feed a treat immediately afterward. After several times, your dog will associate the sound with goodies. Then give your dog a command he knows, such as "sit". Once he sits, use the word or sound and reward him. To avoid overfeeding your dog later on, slowly phase out treats and replace them with a pat on the head or verbal praise. Remember to keep training sessions short

so that you and your dog don't get frustrated. • A dog's natural behavior will make some tricks easier to learn than others. For example, dogs that bark are more likely to learn "speak" and "whisper" commands quickly, whereas dogs who naturally raise their paws will take to "shake hands" and "wave" tricks. Many dogs will can learn to "fetch" almost anything-a ball, the newspaper, or even your slippers. Once they associate an item and a command with positive behavior and reward, their memory can truly be amazing!

At Pet Supermarket, we have everything you'll need to train and have fun with your dog. We have a wide selection of training aids, leashes, treats, and training books, and our friendly associates are ready to assist you.

Cat Tongues Anyone who's been licked by a cat knows that a cat's "sandpaper" tongue is indeed interesting and different.

Here's more information: • A cat's tongue is covered with thousands of papillae, which are shaped like hooks facing backwards. The papillae are made of keratin, the same protein substance which is found in human hair and fingernails. These papillae help cats remove dirt, fur, and debris as they groom themselves. Since cats ingest some of this hair during grooming, it's important to help them out by brushing them regularly to prevent hairballs from forming in their digestive tracts.

• Cats also curl their tongues into a saucer-like shape when they drink; they take two or three laps of water, and then swallow. Interestingly enough, cats have two sets of taste buds-one set on the sides of their tongues and one at the back.

Since cats like food for both texture and flavor, perhaps this is why they're sometimes known as finicky eaters.

Pet Supermarket has everything a kitty needs to stay healthy and happy. We carry a large selection of brushes and other grooming aids, in addition to a wide variety of premium cat foods in various formulations, including foods designed to reduce hairballs. Come in and see us today!

Lauren Book walks for abuse victims, changing state laws

BY LINDA RODRIGUEZ BERNFELD

For years Lauren Book was physically, sexually and emotionally abused by her female nanny. After revealing the abuse to her family, Book and her father, lobbyist Ron Book, worked to change Florida laws to help to make it easier for abusers to be brought to justice.

Along with working to change state laws, Book began the Lauren’s Kids Foundation, a non-profit organization to help survivors and to prevent abuse through education.

The foundation has a prevention program for school children in grades K-5 called Safer, Smarter Kids.

“We do talk about secrets and surprises and what is a safe touch,” she said. “We were just featured on the Lisa Ling Show on the O Network.

The goal is to continue to fund the program in schools.”

Book has a written a memoir called It’s OK to Tell about her experiences. She had a signing on Mar. 16 at Books and Books in Coral Gables to Lauren Book’s memoir It’s OK to Tell was launched at a Mar. 16 mark the book’s release. Tracy signing at Books and Books in Coral Gables.

‘Basic Diet Training’

BY BARI AUERBACH Grueling workout programs similar to military boot camps are all the rage right now – but you don’t have to train like a solider to get in top shape…Simply by following a basic healthful diet plan and exercising moderately, you can earn the right to “bare arms” and other strategic parts in time for showing off a new and improved bathing suit body by summer. .

The Basics Think in terms of having a protein, low-glycemic carbohydrate and unsaturated fat for three meals daily plus two or three healthful snacks. Avoid anything “white” like white bread, white pasta, white rice and white potatoes.

Go lighter on carbs later in the day (after 5p.m.) and at dinner opt for smaller portions of low-glycemic carbs like sweet potatoes, whole grain, spinach or Jerusalem artichoke pastas or brown rice.

Timing/Portions Eat frequently to keep your metabolism revved - every 3 to 4 hours A good guideline for portion sizes is: One serving protein - about the palm of your hand One serving carbs from whole grains one cupped hand One serving carbs from fruits or vegetables - two hand cupped together Beware of Sugar Always check sugar grams on packages – ideally, don’t choose anything that has over 4g sugar per serving. Be especially cautious when choosing cereals and energy bars that often have as much sugar as candy bars.

Energy bars with low sugar content include: Optimum Nutrition Protein Diet Fudge Truffle, 0g sugar; Designer Whey Double Chocolate, 2g sugar; Myoplex Carb Sense Creamy Peanut Butter, 0g sugar; Power Bar Protein Plus Sugar Free Caramel Apple, 0g sugar; Atkins Advantage Chocolate Raspberry, 0g sugar.

Breakfast Shopping List Proteins: Egg whites, Greek yogurt, whey protein shake; Carbs: Oatmeal (plain flavor), low carb Ezekiel bread available in a variety of flavors at Whole Foods Market, wholegrain waffles, high fiber cereal (make sure it’s low in sugar); Healthy Fats: Avocado, egg yolk (mixed in with egg whites). * Protein pancakes are great for breakfast. Mix a scoop of protein powder with 1/2 cup oatmeal and 2 egg whites and cook on stovetop

2011 Audi A8 is automotive luxury at its best Ron Beasley LET’S TALK CARS The Audi A8 is all-new for 2011. It’s high-powered and high-tech, and exceptionally fast and agile for a big sedan.

The A8 is available in two four-door sedan models — the A8 for $78,050 and the A8L for $84,000, which has a five-inch longer wheelbase. Both are powered by a powerful 372-hp V-8 engine mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission with available column-mounted paddle shifters, Quattro all-wheel drive and low-profile tires on alloy wheels.

The A8 clocks 0-60 mph in an impressive 5.5 seconds and is able to cruise for hours at speeds well over 100 mph. High technology such as onboard navigation and a sound system managed either by voice command or a touch pad in the center console next to a shift lever is standard on the A8. The A8L is the long wheelbase limousine-like model

that has a very roomy back seat with optional reclining seats, a power footrest and an onboard refrigerator.

On the highway, the new 2011 A8 is both a capable luxury cruiser and a fun-to-drive sport sedan. The Quattro system effectively eliminates any understeer or oversteer making the car quicker to respond to changes in direction, while stability at highway cruising speeds is a strong suit of this car.

As for design, the new A8 is boxier and less wedge-like than Audi’s smaller sedans.

It has the Audi signature trapezoidal grille and a slightly bulbous hood, but from the side, it looks like any other big European luxury sedan. Character lines run parallel along the side from the top and bottom of the front wheelwell to the top of the trunk and the center of the rear bumper. New for 2011 is the optional LED technology in the A8 headlights — high beam, low beam, turn indicators, side markers and running lights. The LEDs produce an even, wide pattern of very white light. The LED theme also is used in the taillights that wrap around the corner of the rear fender and double as side marker lights.

Standard features include charcoal filtered automatic dual zone climate control;

heated 18-way power front seats; leather upholstery and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift lever; the usual trio of powered accessories plus the rear sunshade, tilt and telescope steering column and tilt and slide glass sunroof; cruise control; keyless start/stop; auto-dim inside mirror with compass; and a voice-recognition navigation system.

In short, the 2011 A8 is Audi’s answer for

luxury at its best, with real leather seats and trim, Bose surround sound and a voicerecognition navigation system, in addition to all the usual standard luxury features.

Walmart Foundation now accepting applications from Florida nonprofits

BY INGRID VEGA

The Walmart Foundation currently is accepting applications from Florida nonprofit organizations for its annual State Giving Program. Created to carry out the retailer’s commitment to giving back to local communities, nearly $2 million in grants were issued to 34 Florida-based charities in 2010.

Launched in 2008, associate-led State Advisory Councils work with the Foundation to identify needs within their state, review grant requests and make funding recommendations to the Foundation. Applications may be submitted online through Apr. 22 and grant amounts start at $25,000.

“At Walmart, we are always looking at ways to make a long-lasting impact in communities across Florida,” said Cindi Marsiglio, Walmart senior manager for public affairs and government relations.

“Our aim is to work with organizations that address basic unmet needs. Our Walmart associates have unique insights when it comes to understanding the needs within their local communities, and their involvement in the funding process is invaluable.”

The funds granted from the State Giving Program are utilized to establish new programs or elevate existing initiatives that zero in on the following areas: Education — Organizations addressing the educational needs of underserved young people ages 12-25; Workforce Development/ Economic Opportunity — Organizations providing job readiness, skills training and support services for workers with moderate skills; Health and Wellness — Organizations

that improve access to healthcare and reduce health care disparities; Environmental Sustainability — Organizations that seek to promote production systems that sustain people and the environment by reducing waste; C u r rent Focus on Hunger Relief — Walmart and the Walmart Foundation made a $2 billion commitment through 2015 to hunger relief efforts in the U.S. The Foundation seeks to fund initiatives that integrate hunger relief into the main areas listed previously.

In November 2010, nine hunger-based organizations throughout Florida were surprised with two impromptu check presentations held at America’s Second Harvest of the Big Bend (Tallahassee) and Feeding South Florida (Broward, MiamiDade, Monroe and Palm Beach counties).

In Tallahassee, America’s Second Harvest of the Big Bend, Bay Area Food Bank and Bread of the Mighty Food Bank received a combined amount of more than $300,000 in funds to assist in their hunger relief efforts. While in South Florida, Feeding South Florida, Farm Share, Ruth Rales Jewish Family Services, The Poverello Center, Cross Road Food Bank and Star of the Sea Foundation received a combined amount of more than $400,000.

To be considered for support, perspective grantee organizations must submit applications through the Walmart Foundation State Giving Program’s online grant application, available at <www.walmartfoundation.org/stategiving>. Eligible applicants must have a current 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in order to meet the program’s minimum funding criteria. Grant submissions are only accepted online.

Learning Experience School students competing in meet

BY LINDA RODRIGUEZ BERNFELD Each morning, four young men from the Learning Experience School go to the track at Tropical Park to practice the 100-meter dash and the 4 x 100 relay.

The practices begin with stretching and leg exercises and then they begin to race, practicing handoffs for the relay and finishing with the 100-meter dash.

The team is coached by Daniel Cartaya, the school’s assistant development director, who hopes to have them ready in time for the Penn Relays on Apr. 28-30.

Albert Johnson (A.J.), David Rams, Robbie Bertran and Joseph Paz will be making the trip to Philadelphia, and it all started because Cartaya was trying to get Rams onto the Special Olympics Team USA. “I was calling around to and I got in touch with Nancy Sawyer who is vice president of Special Olympics Florida. We were going around all sorts of possibilities,” he said.

He learned that it was too late to get Rams on Team USA, but loved the suggestion they try entering the Special Olympics component of the Penn Relays.

The Penn Relays are a place for the elite track and field athletes to compete.

Established in 1895, it is one of the elite events in the track and field world.

According to the Penn Relays website, more athletes compete at the event than compete at the Olympics.

When he contacted the Penn Relays, Cartaya realized he actually had two athletes that could enter for the 100-meter dash — Johnson is faster than Rams in that event. Since there also were slots available for the 4 x 100 relay, they submitted a team for that event as well.

“They have to qualify,” said Cristina Cartaya, the school’s executive director.

“Based on times, two of our students qualified in the 100. Those two and another two qualified in the 4 x 100 relays.”

Johnson has the fastest times.

Unofficially, in practice, he’s run the 100 in 12.51. His fastest Special Olympics time is 12.7 seconds.

Rams, the Miami-Dade Special Olympics Athlete of the Year, has a practice time of 12.82. His fastest Special Olympics time is 13 seconds, but his coach said he actually slipped in the race.

Paz’s fastest time is 15.12 and Bertran’s is 14.2. They qualified for the relay.

“The fastest time at the Penn Relays is 12 seconds flat,” Daniel Cartaya said. “We’ll

Heading off to the Penn Relays later this month are (l-r) Robbie Bertran, David Rams, Coach Daniel Cartaya, Albert Johnson and Joseph Paz

see. With the crowd and the competition, they may run faster.”

What’s amazing is that this is only the third year of the track and field program at the school.

“We started the first year with four students going to the track and field competitions in Orlando,” Cristina Cartaya said.

“Last year we took 23 medals.”

The team recently competed in the county’s Special Olympics and will be going to the statewide Special Olympics Games in

Orlando.

Also amazing is that the boys don’t focus only on track and field, they have basketball first and then begin training for track and field after basketball season.

Fundraising has started to help send the team to the Penn Relays. A First Giving page is being set up for donations. Links can be found at <www.TheLearningExperienceSchool.org> and the Learning Experience School’s Facebook page. At the school, there will be bake sales and car washes to raise funds.
