Focus on Heath-Related Illnesses With Dr. Jose G. Lampreabe, MD

Por Tatiana Fiandaca tfiandaca@INYBN.com

here is no doubt that one of the major advantages of living in South Florida is enjoying sunny weather almost all-year-round. However, a skyrocketing humidity coupled with high temperatures over 90ºF is bound to take the best of everyone. Such a meteorological mix creates a

cocktail for potentially dangerous conditions. Particulary in the summertime, it is vital to use common sense and prevent exposure to intense heat, sun, and high humidity, which can trigger heat-related illnesses. Under extreme weather conditions, the body works exhaustively to restore itself to a safe temperature by rushing blood to the surface of the skin.

There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign”, once wrote Scottish poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. Our seemingly growing interest in foreign films, ethnic cuisine, imported labels and brand names, multi-national corporations, World music, foreign languages, satellite radio, Skype, long-distance cell phone plans, and frequent flyer miles are a sign of the times, attesting to our inquisitiveness about and interest in the other side and our ethereal quest for global connectedness. Geographic when we become cognizant Spanish borders Language evaporate Editor: of the fact that the only demarcation line between our plot of land and dot on the globe spinning on our desk and the rest of the world is spatial in nature. The digital world in breaking has succeeded Spanish Language Editor: the barriers, Louisa Terryus Stickel (Coralfour Gables,corners FL) transporting to the of the globe and theoretically bridging the distance. Virtually-speaking, we are making headway in internationalizing ourselves; from a planetary standpoint, however, much more is needed to cherish our diversity, honor the “One World” ideology, and achieve a state of civilization, which Freud defined as “a process whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that, families and then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind.” Foreign relations is neither an abstract concept nor the exclusive province of the executive branch of government. Rather, it belongs to the body politic- we, the people. It is incumbent upon each one of us, constituents of Planet Earth to serve as cultural ambassadors in our daily exchanges with humanity, this seemingly muddled pond teeming with global diversity and exotic wonder. The antidote to xenophobism, ethnocentrism, provincial-mindedness, and well…ignorance in its pure form is a simple Middle English word: T.R.A.V.E.L.. In light of the fact that its etymology can be traced to “travail”, the Old French word for “work”, discovering the world via the Travel Channel will regrettably not qualify you as a citizen of the world. The holistic act of venturing outside the doors of your domicile and confines of your hometown to experience ‘in vivo’ our seven continents’ sounds, sights, and flavors is liberating and enriching for the heart and mind. St. Augustine astutely observed that “the World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” So, step outside your comfort zone and explore firsthand and through your own lens the unfamiliar places in BPA MEMBERSHIP APPLIED FOR.

your atlas, without the influence of external stimuli and mediatic fear-mongering, distortion, or mis-characterization, if you will. The value of education through travel is inestimable, the rewards plentiful. The exposure to new accents, customs, traditions, folklore, socio-environmental contexts, and cultures not only expands our horizons, but teaches tolerance, humility, appreciation for differences, all the while reminding us of our similarities. “Perhaps the rediscovery of our humanity, and the potential of the human spirit….perhaps this will constitute the true revolution of the future,” wrote former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. “The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us,” he underscored. By embracing new cultures, we build awareness of the reality “on the ground” and understand not just the history of a nation but also the story of its people. As pacifist and humanist Aldous Huxley philosophized, "To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries." By setting foot on foreign soil, being receptive to and immersing ourselves in a new environment, we positively alter our world view and see our planet from a fresh and ‘in vivo’ perspective. Traveling also shifts our paradigm by refuting and dissolving prejudices as well as dispelling stereotypes often propagated, reinforced or facilitated by the media or tunnel-visioned individuals who desperately need a Samsonite suitcase and a one-way ticket for a world tour. Discover, learn and be enlightened is the mantra for global citizenship! In your voyage, you will not only discover new landscapes but “have new eyes”, as Marcel Proust observed. Travel challenges our assumptions and pre-conceived notions, misconceptions, reminds us of our interdependence, and builds a bridge of understanding and universal brotherhood. By gaining new outlooks and insights, tourists or visitors come to terms with the truth that there is no “one right way” to live, but that flavorful spices and ambrosial fruits come in a wide variety. Travel is a transformative journey that generates indelible memories and lessons for life. Paradoxically, in your Gulliver’s travels, you will not only discover the world but re-discover yourself.

HIPPOCRATES & YOUR HEALTH SERIES

Dr. Jose G. Lampreabe, MD LAMPREABE, from page 1

This means that an insufficient quantity of blood reaches important organs such as the brain and the muscles, which can hinder physical and mental functions and produce possibly serious health risks.

Whether you are an athlete training for the fall marathon season, a parent concerned about children’s safety at the pool or in athletic activities, a senior who enjoys walking and taking in some Vitamin D, or simply someone who likes to sunbathe at the beach, you should know about heat-related illnesses. Read on and enjoy the summer!

Q: What Are Heat-Related Illnesses?

A: Heat-related illnesses are a continuum of preventable conditions caused by an elevated heat index, usually above 95ºF, along with humid conditions. This causes a cardiovascular compensatory mechanism, which -if severe- could end up in fatal consequences.

Q: What are the symptoms and risk factors of heat exhaustion?

A: Mild heat exhaustion is defined as a body core temperature less than 104ºF, with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting.

Q: What are the symptoms and risk factors of heat stroke? Q: How can these illnesses be avoided?

A: Heat stroke is defined as a body core temperature greater than 104ºF, with symptoms such as altered mental status, confusion and palpitations, with or without perspiration.

Q: Do these illnesses require immediate attention? Can they be life threatening?

A: These illnesses can be avoided by keeping well hydrated, and wearing loose, light-fitting clothes. Athletes must acclimatize from three to four days prior to the weather in which they will be perfor-

A: Mild heat exhaustion is usually not life-threatening and can be treated conservatively. However, a heat stroke is a potentially life threatening condition, and patients should seek immediate medical attention.

Q: What is the treatment for these illnesses?

A: For mild heat exhaustion, a patient needs to be moved to a cooler area and the precipitating factors that prompted the episode need to be removed or else the patient can progress to heat stroke. Also, the patient needs to keep well hydrated. If symptoms have not resolved by 20-30 minutes, immediate medical attention is warranted. For heat stroke, immediate medical attention must be sought; this should be treated in a hospital setting.

ming. Following a mild heat exhaustion, a patient must be protected from re-exposure from 24 to 48 hours after the initial event. Also, finding out what the heat index will be for the day can be useful. Fi-

nally, patients with medical conditions should remain vigilant, as they are more at risk.

Dr. Jose Lampreabe earned his Internal Medicine degree at the Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico City) in 2005 and completed his Residency at the New York Medical College in 2012. He is also certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and has been in practice for nine years.

Wandering through Berlin

or most, the mid-20’s is a time of self-discovery. That is where we meet Niko Fischer (played by Tom Schilling) in the award winning film A Coffee In Berlin, which was recently screened at Miami Dade College’s Tower Theater. This 2012 German film with English subtitles was written and directed by Jan Ole Gerster and filmed in black and white over 21 days. In 2013, the film won 24-industry awards including six German Film Academy Awards in the categories of Outstanding Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenplay, and is an official selection of the 2013 American Film Institute (AFI) Film Festival. “Do you know what it's like... to have the feeling that all the people around you are honestly kind of weird? But when you think it over, then it becomes clear that the problem is with yourself,” Niko stated. Dropping out of university two years prior, for the last 24months Niko has moved day in and day out in Berlin without any drive, influence or direction. He has stayed afloat with the monthly $1,000 Euros (=US$1,349.67) deposited into his bank account by his father (portrayed by Ulrich Noethen), who is under the impression that he is supporting Niko and his education. Eventually, Niko’s world collapses: He is cut off by his father, dumped by his girlfriend, and dubbed “emotionally unstable” by his psychiatrist (played by Andreas Schroders) all in a single day. His father asks “What have you been doing for the last two years?”, to which Niko solemnly replies “thinking.” He reaches out to his friend Matze (played by Marc Hosemann), and they chat at a sandwich shop where Niko tries to order a cup of coffee. He has a surprise encounter with an old high school friend, Julika Hoffmann (played by Friederike Kempter), who he used to refer to as “Roly Poly Julia”. Today, she is a beautiful, blonde actress who invites Niko and Matze to see her performance that evening, leaving complimentary tickets for them at the door. After the show, Julika and Niko go off where she has some unfinished business to settle with him. Later, an unwelcomed encounter with a stranger becomes Niko’s “wake up call,” pointed out Ole Gerster. “In this ultra-modern new Berlin, you could still experi-

Furthermore, “I think it needed some kind of abstraction from the neighborhood that I knew very well from real life, especially because the film is about everyday life and normal conversations. I kind of felt like it needed this distance that, at the same time, expresses or describes the distance that the character feels from the world.” Unique jazz rhythms heard throughout the film keep viewers unknowingly tapping their toes. “Unfortunately, we don’t really have a German Paul Simon, so I never found a singer-songwriter I was happy with,” confessed Jan. “I tried to find jazz musicians, but in Berlin the techno scene is huge, not jazz. We still had no score, but they were announcing our premiere. In desperation, I went to a bar in the middle of the night. And there was a band, playing, one guy on piano and the other on a trumpet, and I don’t know if I was slightly drunk, but they sounded like Chet Baker. I was like ‘Wow, these kids can groove’ and gave them a DVD of the film. They invited me to their rehearsal room, where they jammed to the film and hit every cut. It was a lucky break.” After a long troubling day, Niko realizes that life is more than about merely existing and searching for a cup of coffee.

Siga La Vaca: Fresh, Cooked-to-Order Steaks With A Side Dish Of Tango

SIGA LA VACA, from page 1

On Wednesday night, a section of the restaurant is cleared of dining tables to make way for instructor Diego Santana to do what he does best- teach the art of tango dancing. “I fell in love with Tango at first sight,” shared Santana, who was born in Uruguay but has been transmitting his passion for the Argentinean dance over the past 11 years. “It’s amazing to watch how, from class to class, other people fall in love with it too.” Though “Siga La Vaca” has been a local favorite for two years now, the free Tango classes offered there were introduced only six months ago. “Siga La Vaca is a unique place,” remarked Guillermina Fuenmayor, 50, who is originally from Venezuela but

lives near the restaurant and attends the tango class every week. “There are very few places that offer tango and where people can enjoy a good meal, meet new people, learn to dance and simply let go and be themselves.” Alejandro Pardo often dances with Fuenmayor at “Siga La Vaca”. “Tango is a true passion for me,” he observed. “I love the music and its atmosphere; so, I come every week.” Born in Argentina, Pardo didn’t learn how to dance tango until he moved to Miami and attended Santana’s class. “It’s a little bit ironic that I came to learn here, in the US,” he laughs. “Siga La Vaca” is the type of place where Argentinean expats can feel at home. The steakhouse serves a wide variety of cooked-to-order meats, blood

sausages and chorizos and the buffet corner features traditional Argentinean eats such as escabeche de puerco, a dish cured in a mixture of lime sauce, olive oil, vinegar, salt and spices. “All of our meats are always fresh,” underlined Dayron Suarez, 26, general manager at "Siga La Vaca". “This is the type of restaurant where food lovers flock to. It’s definitely not a place to visit when you’re on a diet.” Suarez has been working at “Siga La Vaca” since its opening night and has witnessed the restaurant transform into a hangout for regulars. “It all started back in Argentina,” he explained, noting that the “Siga La Vaca” company now owns eight restaurantsseven in Argentina and one in the Gables. “The story goes that the first spot was

have a good time.” Rafaela Ochoa, 56, could not agree with Morillo more. “She’s right! I look forward to Wednesdays,” she affirmed, batting her eyelashes in a flirty tone. “Because of tango class at “Siga La Vaca”, I get dolled up. Look at this! I even have this flower in my hair.” Ochoa was born in Cuba and has been dancing tango for 5 years. “I feel like a ballerina on the dance floor,” she gushes. Santana does not only teach the technical movements of the dance but also tango history and etiquette. “Every four songs, I have everyone switch partners,” he said. “That way, everybody gets a chance to dance with a different person and everyone meets.” “I love coming here,” observes Ochoa. “There’s a mix of pros and beginners; everyone is friendly, and really we’re

small, seating only 50 guests and was located in Kilometer 40 of the Pan American highway. Visitors would sometimes get lost and had a hard time finding the location, and when they’d stop to ask for directions, locals would simply tell them ‘Siga la Vaca’…follow the cow and you’ll find it.” Cows frequently roamed on the roads leading to the modestly sized but oh so sought after restaurant. Now, it is not exclusively diners but also dance aficionados who lead the way to “Siga La Vaca”. “For some people, this class is a form of therapy,” pointed out Belisa Morillo, Santana’s girlfriend and dance instructor assistant. “They get dressed up to come here, eat delicious food, socialize,” she said. “They forget about their problems and

like a big family.” And if that is not enough to make you want to put on your dancing shoes, “Siga La Vaca” offers a special tango menu. Four empanadas and a glass of wine for $15; one empanada, steak, pork or chicken, salad or french fries and a drink for $20; or the traditional all-you-can-eat menu for $30.

Help Us Stop Big Choo Choo!

What is Big Choo Choo?

All Aboard Florida is a plan by freight train company Florida East Coast Industries to add a second set of tracks along their Miami to Orlando. They’ll run 32 speed trains per day at 110+ mph from Miami to Orlando ripping through towns. Stops are only planned in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. They will continue to run more freight trains on the same lines.

Who’s Funding Big Choo Choo?

AAF is not 100% privately funded. They’ve applied for $1.6 Billion in federally guaranteed loans from the Federal Railroad Administration and millions of tax dollars will go into maintenance and terminal construction.

Does Big Choo Choo Make Sense?

The Orlando Sentinel noted, “No privately run train offering passenger service has operated successfully since the automobile became the main choice of travelers.” Two regional trains in Florida are already running in the red by millions of dollars and research shows the market won’t support a speed train.

What’s happening in your community?

In our county, we need residents to call and write the President and our Governor and tell them to send the train west of our towns and stop giving away our tax dollars!

Miami Lyric Opera’s La Boheme To Enthrall Audiences At The Colony Theater

By: Daysi Calavia-Robertson Daysi@INYBN.com

a Boheme, one of the most highly attended, most performed and popular operas in the world returns four years later for a second run at Miami Beach’s Colony Theatre. “La Boheme is one of the most loved operas in Puccini’s repertoire,” observed Raffaele Cardone, the play’s artistic director and founder of the Miami Lyric Opera. “We know how much the public likes it,” he said. “When we presented the play the first time, it was considered by the South Florida Classical Review as one of the best productions in the region for 2010.” Cardone hopes this year’s production of La Boheme can attain the same level of recognition. “Audiences can expect to see a play full of music, drama, passion and poetry,” he stated, “and all of this exalted by a great group of performers, a chorus and an orchestra.” According to Cardone, the cast selected for La Boheme is made up of a very “balanced group of artists” who will help bring the play based on Henri Murger’s novel Scènes de la Vie de Bohème back to life. Actor Rodolfo Cuevas from Mexico stars as “Rodolfo”, a young bohemian poet living in Paris’ Latin Quarter during the 1840’s. Actress Nathalie Avila, who was born in Havana but was raised in South Florida, takes up the role of “Mimi”, a seamstress and Rodolfo’s love interest. La Boheme unfolds in four acts and features an eclectic but small group of the era’s creatives: a painter, a singer, a musician, a

philosopher and a toy vendor, among others. “Our goal at the Miami Lyric Opera organization is to present genuine opera productions at accessible prices and to provide an opportunity for new talents as well as experienced artists to come together in full stage opera productions,” explained Cardone. La Boheme is a prime example of that. It’s Nathalie Avila’s first time singing as “Mimi” after the great success of L’Amico Fritz at the Olympia Theater. She’s a wonderful Soprano and wonderful asset to the cast.” La Boheme, which runs for approximately

three hours and will be sung in Italian with projected titles in English, will performed at the Colony Theater on Saturday, August 16th and Sunday, August 17th. “The music and story in La Boheme are very romantic and very easy to follow,” said Avila. “Even if you’ve never seen the opera before, you’ve probably heard some of the music in movies, commercials or TV shows. So, if you only experience an opera once in your life, this is it!” Avila revealed her fascination with playing “Mimi” and appreciation for the character’s simple and hardworking nature.

“At a time in history when women who did not come from a wealthy family would have to choose between prostitution or marriage, Mimi decides to live modestly and simply,” explained Avila. "She relishes life's simple pleasures and embodies grace and refinement even as her health is decaying.” Avila also told INYBN that despite having performed in other plays in the past, La Boheme holds a very special place in her heart. Avila, whose family moved from Cuba to Miami when she was four years old, previously sang as “Suzel” in the Miami Lyric Opera’s opera L’amico Fritz. “Both of the characters, Suzel and Mimi, share a similar disposition,” she remarked. “They are both romantic women who fall madly in love with the leading men in the respective operas.” However, Avila has her heart set on La Boheme. “This play is a must see!” she gushes. “It’s very relatable, the music is among the most beautiful music ever written, and we hope that the audience is able to really feel the excitement of young love through Rodolfo and Mimi’s story.” She makes particular mention of the play’s first act. “The first act has a lot of subtle flirting,” she noted. “It’s a love at first sight situation.” Tickets for La Boheme are $25, $35 and $45 and can be purchased online at www.miamilyricopera.org, www.gusmancenter.org or at the box office.

outing an ecologically-friendly and convenient form of transportation on the eight-mile territory of Key Biscayne, KB Green Golf Carts is the island’s one-stop showroom for the needs of low-speed vehicle owners. “Growing up on the island all my life, I felt that this was something the Village needed, not just more of what is already here,” explains the company’s owner and operator Romain Bignon. Born and raised on the Key and bearing French and Armenian roots, he founded the business in 2008 and ever since, it has moved ahead at full speed. At KB Green, customers will find two, four and six-passenger golf carts, both basic models and fully-customized versions that are built and painted to order. “All carts are equipped with the required street legal accessories for obtaining the permit to ride on the roads. Also, we always include a charger and warranty with any golf cart sold,” indicates Bignon. Among the most solicited features are radios, MP3 players, rain enclosures and high speed motors. “Although our carts can be left in the rain unprotected, we sell covers and rain enclosures that allow you to drive in the rain,” he points out. KB Green carries all major golf cart brands, including EZ-GO and Club Car which are the top two and most popular on the island. “Our best-selling golf carts are

the EZ-GO 14 and EZ-GO 16; they offer great accessories for lower prices compared to the standard EZ-GO RXV,” points out Bignon. The company sells the latest models such as the 2013 EZ-GO L4 and L6 and the new range of 2014 Ego golf carts. When purchasing or renting one of KB Green’s vehicles, customers can expect “a high-quality, clean, street-legal golf cart,”

says Bignon. As far as custom-tailoring is concerned, KB Green can “fulfill any request imaginable for the customer, ranging from custom paint and seats to rims and steering wheels”. “There are unlimited possibilities to make it your own,” he adds. The shop has two full-time technicians on staff and a full-time body shop that handles all of the

paint work. Unlike other golf cart dealerships, remarks Bignon, “when dealing with KB Green, you are dealing directly with the owner. Not only are we the sole local golf cart shop but also the only ones who can show up immediately or even within the same day. The customer is our #1 priority.” Emphasizing that KB Green always provides “the absolute best customer service”, he states that “we are always here to help our clients with any day-to-day questions, requests and little things that break.” Most other golf cart shops charge an average service fee of $45 to $90 for clients on the island, says Bignon. “You don’t want to pay such a fee for a $5 light bulb change,” he notes. The company also provides rentals and repairs for all brands of golf carts. KB Green Golf Carts guarantees to beat any competitors’ printed quote, underlines Bignon. “There’s no sense paying more down the road and driving off the island. Come see us first, and you will find that not only do we have the best price, but we provide the best service without any fine print or extra costs once you get the golf cart home.” Located at 800 Crandon Boulevard, Suite 200 next to Ace Hardware on the Key, KB Green Golf Carts is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m..

American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music presents the contributions from Latino artists to traditional American musical genres like jazz, R&B, rock and hip-hop, as well as how the Latino experience helped create new styles like salsa and reggaetón. Developed by EMP Museum and the University of Washington, and organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services (SITES), the exhibition and its programs are made possible by from Ford Motor Company Fund. More than 200 of Miami leaders in the arts, entertainment and media industries, politicians and local business leaders have joined the Community of Honor in support of the American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music exhibition. Participants include President of Miami-Dade County College Eduardo Padron, musician Tito Puente, Jr. and Cuban-American Grammy® Award-winning musician and producer, Emilio Estefan who has lent his support to the project as Honorary Chairman.

The Community of Honor list can be found at http://www.historymiami.org/museum/exhibitions/details/american-sabor. “Ford is a long-time supporter of Hispanic arts and culture and it’s an honor to be associated with a program that celebrates this country’s rich, Latino heritage,” said Joe Avila, Community Outreach Manager of Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services. “It is gratifying to see so many Miami-area leaders join the Community of Honor and embrace this exciting exhibition, especially given Miami’s musical influence.” The traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibition, which includes guided listening stations and a 15foot dance floor outfitted with a working jukebox, focuses on the five cities that have served as centers of production for Latin musicians since World War II: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Antonio and Miami. HistoryMiami will also have exclusive artifacts on display from Israel “Cachao” Lopez, the Celia Cruz Estate and Willy Chirino. “We are proud to partner with the Smithsonian Institution and Ford Motor Company Fund to bring the history and vibrancy of Latin music and dance – its sabor – to Miami” says Ramiro Ortiz, President and Chief Executive Officer for HistoryMiami. “In addition to celebrating an important and beloved chapter in Miami’s cultural history, American Sabor will also inaugurate our expanded building on the Miami-Dade Cultural Plaza as its flagship exhibition.” American Sabor will be installed in the third floor east gallery of the museum’s new building, the former home of the Miami Art Museum, and will be on view through October 26.

AZUCAR! NOSTALGIA CUBANA EN UNA BOLA DE HELADO

Por: Marilyn Romero

Qué podrían tener en común Celia Cruz y una ejecutiva de bienes raíces de Miami? Azúcar! Así es. Porque a pesar de que la cubano-americana, Suzy Battle, nunca conoció personalmente a la Reina de la Salsa, la icónica y vivaracha expresión de la artista pasó a ser parte de la historia profesional de Battle a través de su heladería en el corazón de la pequeña Habana: Azúcar! Ice Cream Company. “Veinte años no es nada”, cantó Carlos Gardel, pero debe ser valiente quien decide al cabo de veinte años de una vida profesional, hacer un cambio radical y reinventarse en un campo completamente distinto. Tal fue el caso de Battle, quien al quedar cesante después de veinte años como agente hipotecario, decidió seguir una tradición familiar y el fanatismo por los helados ricos, cremosos y caseros y partió en busca de instrucción en las mejores instituciones de postres del país. El resto ya empieza a hacer historia. Inspirada por la abuela, principal promotora de fanatismo familiar, quien consentía a sus niños con deliciosos helados caseros de sabores inventados en sus viajes por Centro y Suramérica, Battle abrió su heladería, en julio del 2011, como un taller de helado artesanal. Y así, en el centro de la pequeña Habana, en la esquina de la 15 avenida y Calle 8, frente al Parque del Dominó, conspira semanalmente con sus empleados creando inolvidables sabores peculiares y típicamente cubanos como plátano maduro, flan, arroz con leche, café cubano, aguacate... Sí, leyó bien. Aguacate. El taller ha producido ya más de setenta sabores. “Cada semana sacamos un sabor nuevo y luego lo rotamos por temporadas”, cuenta Battle. “Yo, personalmente, inventé y registré el sabor Abuela María, que es hecho con vainilla, guayaba, queso crema y galletas María; algunos clientes han llorado lágrimas de nostalgia cuando prueban el sabor de estos helados”. Lloran, sí, pero se relamen de placer porque los sabores no sólo son deliciosos y únicos, sino que

ural”, aclara Battle. Sin duda, esta mujer heredó la inventiva y la creatividad típicas de sus raíces,

lo cual es indiscutible cuando, además de los sabores, detalla uno la decoración del establecimiento. A la entrada, sobre la puerta, un gigantesco cono de helado de cinco bolas que parece que va a chorrear en tu cabeza y adentro... Bueno, empecemos por un atractivo piso de réplicas de lozas cubanas, un piso de mosaico instalado por la misma Battle y hecho de retazos y excedentes conseguidos entre los distribuidores. Sigamos con los asientos de cojines confeccionados con camisas guayaberas típicas y forrados de plástico, tal como vería uno en la casa de cualquier viejita cubana. Battle nos cuanta que la decoración es toda suya. “Me tomó mucho tiempo porque quería que fuera lo más cubana posible... La idea de forrar lo muebles de plástico la saque también de mi abuela. Cuando ella llegó de Cuba, todos sus muebles estaban forrados de plástico. Pensé que sería gracioso hacer lo mismo aquí. No había nada peor que sentarse en aquellos muebles un día de verano y quedarse pegado al plástico.” Además de los cientos de turistas que a diario visitan la típica esquina y disfrutan el delicioso helado cubano de Azúcar!, Battle cuenta con clientes que vienen de todas partes, a veces desde los condados de Monroe y Broward. A pesar de la especialidad y la alta calidad del producto, los precios son muy competitivos. El helado se sirve en copitas o en deliciosos conos de gofre hechos al momento. “Nosotros ofrecemos una experiencia cultural. La calle 8 no podría ser más cubana. Nos da gusto ofrecerle a los turistas, como a todos los que nos visitan, sabores típicamente cubanos y otros que son el resultado de nuestra experiencia cubanoamericana.” Si no fuera porque Battle dice que a ellos, en el Azúcar! Ice Cream Company, les gustan las cosas dulces, podríamos esperar cualquier día un helado con sabor a vaca frita, tostones o arroz congrí. ¿Quién sabe? Esta cubana ingeniosa puede que algún día nos sorprenda. Por ahora, no se lo pierda. El verano es la época perfecta para decir Azúcar! Para más información, www.azucaricecream.com

XXIX-IHTF- Cia 15. Otelo. Chile- Fotos cortesia de Rafael Arenas moro de Venecia”. Un relato que embriagará a todos los que estamos en el patio de butacas del teatro del Koubek Center el domingo 27 de julio. Son las cinco de la tarde y comienza “Otelo” de Shakespeare, interpretado y dirigido por la Compañía Viajeinmóvil como cierre del Festival Internacional de Teatro Hispano de Miami. Un broche de oro que el público agradeció en una aplauso interminable. Una pieza que llega a todos los públicos y que entreteje la interpretación actoral con la de unas marionetas que, por momentos parecen tener más vida que la carne misma. Una página no es suficiente para poder transmitir al lector lo que como espectadora sentí con este particular Otelo de Viajeinmóvil. Tres mentes brillantes, la de Teresita Iacobelli, Christian Ortega, y Jaime Lorca son las que adaptaron y dirigieron esta obra para dos actores y marionetas. A la larga la lista de Otelos representados desde que Shakespeare lo escribiera en el siglo XVII, se suma esta innovadora propuesta que consiste en la interpretación de los personajes de Yago y Emilia por dos actores, mientras que Otelo y Desdémona son encarnados por marionetas a tamaño real. Esta es la peculiaridad de este

y emocionalmente a sus amos”. Otra novedad es que Iacobelli y Lorca redujeron el espectáculo a una hora de duración. Para llegar a este resultado tan depurado, los directores invirtieron tres meses en la adaptación del texto en la que perseguían que cualquier tipo de público lo pudiera entender. “Además quisimos plasmar el femicidio”, explica Iacobelli, “porque la obra finaliza con un monólogo del protagonista en el que termina disculpándose y lo enaltece”. Viajeinmóvil en cambio suprime este monólogo final y vuelve a ese televisor inicial que parpadea en el rostro de los actores. El proceso de ensayos fue arduo. Durante seis meses los actores se servían de un espejo en la sala de ensayos como guía para ver si funcionaba la propuesta, además de la mirada externa del tercer director Christian Ortega. Ver a Otelo y Desdémona en marioneta hecha vida por las voces y manipulación de los actores es en sí toda una experiencia. Estos maniquíes expresan, emocionan, bailan, sufren, copulan y aman como si tuvieran alma. La sincronización entre actor y marioneta es magistral. El juego de voces es tal que el espectador tarda tiempo en apreciar que las voces de las marionetas no son grabadas. En décimas de

es un baile donde los cuerpos se funden y crean imágenes técnicamente limpias e impecables. A este malabarismo interpretativo lo acompaña una puesta en escena sencilla y limpia. Tanto la iluminación, como el vestuario, la música o el sonido se integran perfectamente en esta propuesta sin robar protagonismo. Salir del teatro con una sensación de magia, empatía, fantasía e inspiración no tiene precio. Una compañía como Viajeinmóvil nacida en el 2006, especializada en el teatro de objetos y marionetas es un deleite para el público y un orgullo para las Artes Escénicas. Larga vida a Viajeinmóvil y larga vida al Festival Internacional de Teatro Hispano de Miami que enaltece al teatro y lo sitúa en el lugar digno que merece. Saida Santana

¿COMO ES EL CIELO?

casa. Al abrir la puerta vio el médico a su perro que le estaba buscando. Había recorrido varias millas corriendo, sudando, seguro de que encontraría a su dueño. Al verlo daba brincos de alegría moviendo su cola, lleno de satisfacción. Había saltado cercas, atravesando campos y superando obstáculos. Por fin, guiado por su olfato, el pobre animal encontró a su amo. Aquello hizo pensar al médico y le dio pie para encontrar una buena respuesta a la inquietud y curiosidad del enfermo: “Ya ves, mi buen amigo, que este es mi perro él nunca ha estado en esta casa, tampoco sabía lo que había al otro lado de esta puerta, que el golpeaba fuertemente, pero tenía la seguridad de que su amo estaba aquí. Yo tampoco sé que hay más allá de la puerta de la muerte, pero estoy seguro que mi dueño y creador está allí y esto me es suficiente”. Recordando las palabras de un poeta, los cristianos tenemos que reconocer con humildad que muchas veces somos “como perros sin olfato en medio de una fiesta”. El olfato es la esperanza y la fe de que Dios nos espera y vamos hacia Él. La fiesta es la vida que Dios nos da como regalo para disfrutarla con amor, alegría y solidaridad en medio de todos los humanos y criaturas que han salido de las manos de Dios. Dejémonos llevar del olfato del amor, que busca y necesita de su dueño, que es Dios y entonces estaremos seguros de cómo es el Cielo.

Por: Padre Jose L. Hernando

n el cielo lo más importante es Dios: un Dios que es Padre, Salvador y Amigo. Un Dios que perdona y comprende y sobre todo ama y se da, sin poner condiciones, con una generosidad ilimitada. Por eso es fácil entender que todo que hay que hacer en el cielo es amar, es estar junto a Dios, es ser como El…ya que Dios es amor. Jesús nos habla del cielo en forma bien clara y cercana. Él dice en Juan 14,1-4: “En la casa de mi Padre hay muchas habitaciones. Cuando me haya ido y les haya preparado un sitio, volveré y les llevaré conmigo, para que donde yo esté, estén también Ustedes. Luego el cielo es la casa del Padre, es el hogar, el espacio, el estado, un modo de vivir junto a Jesús. Pienso que no es un lugar físico, que siempre los humanos tratamos de imaginarlo, cada cual a su manera, sino un estado de amor. Lo mismo que el matrimonio o la familia no son un lugar –una casadonde vivir, sino un estado –un hogar- en el que podemos amar, convivir y disfrutar de la compañía, la amistad, la intimidad y la presencia de todos los familiares. Había una vez un enfermo agonizando en su casa .Estaba consciente de todo y tenía a su médico al lado de él. Le preguntó: “Doctor, ¿podría decirme qué hay

EGOISMO Y MANEJO

a es un lugar común hablar de la pérdida de valores en el mundo actual, donde impera la falta total de solidaridad con el prójimo, la aberrante idolatría al dios dinero, que se ha posesionado de nuestros sentimientos — porque obviamente es un contrasentido hablar de conciencia—, al punto que sin pecar de exagerados, podemos afirmar que el corolario de todo esto es la violencia generalizada que caracteriza la “convivencia” entre seres supuestamente civilizados. El hombre, como ser llamado a vivir en sociedad, se ha transformado en un insoportable energúmeno que se cree el centro del universo, sin la más mínima consideración o deferencia por sus semejantes. Ese fenómeno lo constatamos diariamente al leer la crónica roja de accidentes de tránsito, asaltos, homicidios y otros actos de violencia. Basta con observar la actitud de los conductores de vehículos —automóviles particulares, vehículos de transporte de carga, autobuses y microbuses de pasajeros, taxis, motocicletas y bicicletas— en las calles y carreteras del país. Los menos protegidos —ciclistas y motociclistas— son precisamente los más osados, vulnerables e imprudentes. Así vemos, por ejemplo, que bicicletas y motos circulan de noche sin luces por las carreteras y la mayoría de sus conductores ni siquiera porta cascos protectores o cintas reflectantes que permitan a otros usuarios percatarse de su presencia. A pesar de la grita general por el aumento exponencial de las multas por infracciones de tránsito, la cantidad de accidentes, lejos de disminuir, no deja de incrementarse diariamente, al punto que

las autoridades policiales estiman que el presente año superará con creces la cifra de víctimas fatales de años anteriores. La explicación hay que buscarla en el manejo irresponsable de los conductores, que circulan a exceso de velocidad, manejan a veces drogados o bajos los efectos del alcohol, irrespetan las señales de tránsito y conducen zigzagueando sin cumplir con la obligación de señalizar los cambios repentinos de carril o advertir a los demás de las maniobras que se proponen efectuar con suficiente antelación. Si a esto agregamos que muchos, mientras manejan, van más interesados en conversar o “chatear” por el celular y prestan poca o ninguna atención a las condiciones del tránsito vehicular, es sorprendente que la cifra de accidentes no sea aún mayor. Salvo raras y contadas excepciones, ningún conductor se detiene para ceder el paso a peatones o vehículos que esperan pacientemente la oportunidad de atravesar la calzada o girar para ingresar a la vía de circulación, y en su egoísmo llegan a bloquear por completo el cruce cuando los vehículos que los anteceden se encuentran detenidos al otro lado de la intersección. O sea, como se dice popularmente, “ni lavan ni prestan la batea”. ¿Qué puede hacerse para corregir esta conducta abusiva y peligrosa? Crear conciencia, mediante la educación en el hogar y en escuela, de que el hombre no es un animal salvaje, que está llamado a convivir en comunidad y que debe tener presente que su libertad personal termina donde empieza la de su prójimo. Las autoridades deben mostrarse sumamente exigentes cuando expiden licencias de conducir para cerciorarse que los recipiendarios conozcan a fondo la ley de tránsito y las técnicas

de manejo. Los postulantes deberían ser objeto de evaluación psicológica, a fin de determinar si representan o no un peligro para sus conciudadanos. Y sobre todo, hacer ver a la ciudadanía que la licencia de conducir es un privilegio —y no sólo un derecho— que debe ejercerse de manera responsable. En el pénsum de escuelas y colegios deberían figurar cursos de educación cívica y vial para crear conciencia en niños y adolescentes respecto del invaluable valor de la vida humana. Esos jóvenes, el día de mañana, serán futuros conductores y para entonces, deberían tener muy claro que en sus manos está no sólo su propia vida sino también la de otras personas, así como la posibilidad de evitar costosos accidentes mediante una conducción sensata y razonable. En algunos países del primer mundo —entre ellos Alemania— no se ven en las carreteras señales de limitación de velocidad, ya que las autoridades de tránsito dejan a criterio de los conductores la opción de determinar la velocidad a la que pueden desplazarse sin peligro, según las condiciones imperantes para una conducción segura. Evidentemente, esta opción no puede darse en nuestro país, donde a pesar de las fuertes multas y la vigilancia constante de las autoridades policiales, los conductores se comportan como auténticos salvajes irresponsables. En esas circunstancias, no queda más remedio que aplicar mano dura a quienes se comportan como malabaristas del volante, ya que al hacerlo ponen en riesgo su vida y los bienes de sus semejantes.
