Miami City Ballet’s (MCB) 2009-2010 season of dance in South Florida begins in October 2009 and runs through April 2010. The Company performs at Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade, at Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale; and at Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach.
Program I features modern choreographer Paul Taylor’s Company B. This work, last seen in South Florida almost a decade ago, is performed to carefree World War II hits by the Andrews Sisters (“Rum and Coca Cola,” Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Oh, Johnny, Oh!”) contrasted with the melancholy realities of soldiers at war. Also on this program are George Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante, Symphony in Three Movements and Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux.
Program II will show for the first time on MCB’s main stages, Twyla Tharp’s “The Golden Section” a thrilling segment from her famous work The Catherine Wheel. The piece is set to music by David Byrne (of the Talking Heads) and it is pure energy as thirteen dancers in gold costumes sail, soar, and tear through the air of the stage’s glowing light. Also featured are Balanchine’s Divertimento No. 15, Valse Fantaisie (1953), and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue.
Program III is Edward Villella’s The Neighborhood Ballroom. Back for its first full encore since its 2003 premiere, this is an evening-length, action-packed, atmosphere-drenched tale of a poet, his muses, and the great ballroom music and dances of the early and mid-20th century. The four sections of this work showcase the seductive waltz, quick-stepping jazz (including the Charleston), the fox-trot where couples dance in the dark to big-band music, and the mambo, which ruled the dance floor in the 1950s.
Program IV will feature Dances at a Gathering, Jerome Robbins’ masterpiece. Ten dancers, live Chopin piano music, endlessly beautiful and original invention - a celebration of dance, dancers…and life. Also on this program is Balanchine’s breezily romantic Who Cares? set to music by Gershwin.
Once again, Miami City Ballet will present George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™. This delightful holiday season family event features a cast of more than 100 professional dancers and talented students from Miami City Ballet School. Performances will take place at The Arsht Center in Miami and at Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale.
New 2009-2010 full subscription renewal packages, to which Nutcracker tickets can be added, will be mailed in February and mini-series renewals will be mailed in March. Reservations for single tickets will be accepted at Miami City Ballet’s Box Office starting in April.
Subscription packages and single-show tickets are on sale now. Four-program subscription series are priced from $635 to $69; two-program “mini-subscriptions” are priced from $330 to $36. Single ticket prices for the repertory are $169 to $19. Nutcracker ticket prices are $65 to $19.75 (discounted to $58-$19 when ordered with a subscription package).
For more information about subscription packages, including group discounts, please call Miami City Ballet Box Office toll-free at (877) 929.7010.

South Florida Community Banking: A Fresh Perspective
The Wharton Club of South Florida
cordially invites you to a panel discussion on
South Florida Community Banking: A Fresh Perspective
While the news headlines have been dominated by the collapse of large financial institutions, FDIC bank takeovers, and rampant consolidation of the banking industry, a small group of South Florida entrepreneurial bankers have dared to step into the void and create a new line of community banks. Offering leaner, more customer-focused operations, these recent start-ups have one advantage over their larger rivals: balance sheets free of non-performing loans. The Wharton Club is proud to present a stellar panel of South Florida community banking entrepreneurs who will discuss what opportunities the current financial crises will provide for their sector of the industry; the impact of the economic downturn on our region; and what they think the future holds for the industry as a whole."

Dr. Lawrence Schimmel
Chairman of the Board, Professional Bank
Dr. Schimmel saw the consolidation throughout the South Florida banking industry in 2005 to 2007 as an opportunity to develop a community bank.

To this end, all of Professional Bank’s staff is trained by Ritz Carlton. Dr. Schimmel’s model is scalable, and with the strategic addition of bankers known throughout our community, he has built a core of base deposits. Professional Bank’s Board of Directors and seasoned management team provide a wide range of expertise that gives the bank an strategic advantage in these tough economic times.
Dr. Schimmel co-founded Qualmetrix Information Services, LLC, a medical software development company, in 2005, and has been its President since its founding. Throughout his career, Dr. Schimmel has been an entrepreneur in the medical-related business field. In 1992, he co-founded Allied Health Group and Florida Specialty Networks which grew into a national medical management business overseeing the payment of approximately $450 million in health care claims annually.

Dr. Schimmel served on the Board of Directors of Executive National Bank until 1997. Dr. Schimmel practiced General and Vascular Surgery in the Miami community for 17 years.

In Miami, coffee translates to café con leche, cortaditos, y coladas. While we know that the corner Cuban cafeteria counter can heat it up with brown sugar on top, Miami also has more cafés and coffee houses than you might realize. This week we're serving a freshly brewed compilation of hot and steamy places to get your java fix. Au lait!
Tim S is passionate about his beans and shares, "Pasión is not your typical coffee place. It distinguishes itself by offering several blends from all over the Americas. Your choice is ground and brewed to order." Also in the Gables is Café Demetrio, complete with old world ambiance, dark wood interiors, and a garden turned patio where Jordan N tells us "you find yourself surrounded by an over-sized (chess) knight and lush greenery... and they serve your coffee with a heart in the foam, in porcelain cups, and with a cup of water on the side." Need more of that Europhile feel? Head to Morning Call in South Miami, where Rula S is transported to Europe via "the pastries, the coffee, and the people!"
When Annabella S wants to get close to France without leaving South Beach, she checks in at A La Folie: "The vibe, the music, café au lait, and the baguettes might confuse you into thinking you are in a tiny Parisian café." According to Brandon B, "everyone already knows how good Taste is for lounging around, drinking coffee, playing on the Internet, and talking with friends." He's a keen observer since a second location just opened right off Lincoln Road. Alice S is already hooked: "The coffee selection is huge and they serve my absolute favorite tea brand." She adds, "If you're jonesing for a delicious breakfast or lunch, no other place will do."
That said, Todd B is more a Tinta man: "In terms of Cuban coffee, this is some of the best. They sell their own roasts, the wait staff are all very friendly, and no one bugs you if you linger to read or enjoy the free newspapers." Want your cup with a dash of pretense? Elizabeth P knows Le Café has that icy, cool vibe "where you can discuss the latest happenings on literature and philosophy." And for the coffee-loving achiever on the go, get revved up with Martin O at Europa Carwash and Café – a shiny car and an "extraordinary mocha?" Fill' er up!

Mia Leonin
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 - 8 p.m.
Books & Books, 265 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables, FL
Mia Leonin spent the first sixteen years of her life believing her father was dead. All she knew of the man came through stories told by her mother. At times he had been a surgeon, at others a psychiatrist. In truth, he had been a fantasy. Shortly after her sixteenth birthday, Leonin learned from her mother that her father, a Cuban exile, was very much alive and living in Florida. Her attempts to contact him, however, were thwarted until four years later, when she left home in search of her roots. Her journey takes her to Miami, Colombia, and Cuba, and her search for cultural identity leads her to create memories, friendships, and romances. She finds moments of connection and redemption, ending up in Havana not as a cultural tourist but as an illegitimate daughter of Cuba looking for validation. What she discovers is an island bereft of fathers and brimming with paternalism. As she becomes entangled with two different men, she descends further into the Havana of poverty, humiliation, and despair, as well as the ever-inventive city that is as passionate as it is contradictory. Insightful, imaginative, and often poetic, Havana and Other Missing Fathers (University of Arizona Press, $16.95) is Mia Leonin’s recollection of this journey and her longing to learn more about her origins. In the end, she must learn to accept the answers she discovers as well as the questions that remain.

Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Taylor Kidd
Thursday, September 24, 2009 - 7:30 p.m.
Coral Gables Congregational Church, 3010 De Soto Boulevard, Coral Gables, FL
Sue Monk Kidd has touched millions of readers with her novels The Secret Life of Bees and The Mermaid Chair and with her acclaimed nonfiction. In this intimate dual memoir, she and her daughter, Ann Taylor Kidd, offer distinct perspectives as a fifty-something and a twenty-something, each on a quest to redefine herself and to rediscover each other. Between 1998 and 2000, Sue and Ann travel throughout Greece and France. Sue, coming to grips with aging, caught in a creative vacuum, longing to reconnect with her grown daughter, struggles to enlarge a vision of swarming bees into a novel. Ann, just graduated from college, heartbroken and benumbed by the classic question about what to do with her life, grapples with a painful depression. As this modern-day Demeter and Persephone chronicle the richly symbolic and personal meaning of an array of inspiring figures and sites, they also each give voice to that most protean of connections: the bond of mother and daughter. A wise and involving book about feminine thresholds, spiritual growth, and renewal, Traveling with Pomegranates (Viking, $25.95) is both a revealing self-portrait by a beloved author and her daughter, a writer in the making, and a momentous story that will resonate with women everywhere

Thursday, September 24, 2009 - 7:30 p.m.
Coral Gables Congregational Church, 3010 De Soto Boulevard, Coral Gables, FL
Sue Monk Kidd has touched millions of readers with her novels The Secret Life of Bees and The Mermaid Chair and with her acclaimed nonfiction. In this intimate dual memoir, she and her daughter, Ann Taylor Kidd, offer distinct perspectives as a fifty-something and a twenty-something, each on a quest to redefine herself and to rediscover each other. Between 1998 and 2000, Sue and Ann travel throughout Greece and France. Sue, coming to grips with aging, caught in a creative vacuum, longing to reconnect with her grown daughter, struggles to enlarge a vision of swarming bees into a novel. Ann, just graduated from college, heartbroken and benumbed by the classic question about what to do with her life, grapples with a painful depression. As this modern-day Demeter and Persephone chronicle the richly symbolic and personal meaning of an array of inspiring figures and sites, they also each give voice to that most protean of connections: the bond of mother and daughter. A wise and involving book about feminine thresholds, spiritual growth, and renewal, Traveling with Pomegranates (Viking, $25.95) is both a revealing self-portrait by a beloved author and her daughter, a writer in the making, and a momentous story that will resonate with women everywhere
Presented in collaboration with Books & Books.
Virginia Key Redesign Workshop
Invitation to Revive Public Input to
Redesign the Master Plan for Virginia Key
Saturday September 26, 2009 at the Rusty Pelican, 9am- 1pm
Virginia Key is a 1,000 acre island off the coast of Miami that has long been a hodge podge of land uses. It is an island without a plan. No one lives there. Our Virginia Key Planning Coalition needs help in helping the city design a viable plan to make this island into a place we can all look to with pride in the coming years. It could be a thoughtful, well conceived and environmentally sensitive island that serves the needs of all residents and is a viable attraction for tourists as well.
Background: For the past few years, the city has tried to design a Master Plan for the entire island. It hired the planning firm of EDSA to oversee the process but their plan, presented this past May, ran into unanimous opposition from the City’s Planning Advisory Board and the Waterfront Boards. It desperately needs the publics help.
Major concerns have been expressed about the need to retain the Miami Marine Stadium, an historically significant structure, and make it a viable venue again. Others strongly dislike plans for a huge sports complex in the old land-fill area in the center of the island. The plan has not addressed mass transit concerns, nor has the historically black beach been adequately integrated into the overall plans. Most observers are not opposed to all commercial development nor all aspects of the EDSA Plan but believe that allowing high rise hotels and a theme park atmosphere would seriously damage the fragile –though disturbed- eco system that exists on the island. This is a unique tropical island that should not be overbuilt like Watson Island.
Recently, the Urban Environment League, the Friends of Miami Marine Stadium, Miami Neighborhoods United, the Sierra Club, Tropical Audubon and numerous other organizations, have agreed to work with the city in forging a new consensus behind a Master Plan for the island.
WE have been able to secure a large room with a great view at the Rusty Pelican for September 26, 2009 as a venue for a public design workshop to come up with a set of drawings to put into consideration to the City Commission in the coming months. No experience necessary. Give us your visions. We expect to have several break-out sessions where the public will be invited to address (1) the marine Stadium basin (2) the landfill area (3) natural areas such as at the North point/Jimbos area and (4) island wide transportation and thematic integration between the Virginia Key Beach Trust, educational and commercial interests,
The public is invited to attend this design workshop. City and County residents are welcome because many of the parcels on the island are owned by both entities.
We are looking for architects and planners, students and everyday folks to volunteer their Saturday to help put Miami on the map as a city in which democratic planning can help create a better place. If you have professional standing as an architect or planner, and like credit for your
please contact Jorge Hernandez at jhernandez@miami.edu
If you would like to volunteer for this event please email Jennifer at J-Garcia18 @ hotmail.com
For further information and to RSVP, please contact the UEL at uelinfo @ bellsouth.net
Phone: 786-472-0011.
Help us help the city create a first class plan and show how citizen input can make a positive difference in South Florida. Please let your friends know about this event so that we have a large turnout and can send a signal that people care about this place.

Burgers have gone gourmet, pizzas are being truffled, and of course there's the cupcake craze... yet sometimes nothing is more comforting than a fresh spin on veggies and healthy, organic eats. This week we're growing it locally, saving the meat for later, and dishing out restaurants that serve it up lean, mean, and green.
Denise F's been officially converted, thanks to "refreshing exposure to the awesome-quality health food" at Om Garden, like the falafel sandwich and mesculin salad with carrot-ginger dressing. "It certainly makes my body and soul much happier than an Egg McMuffin ever could." Take that, Ronald! Likewise, Effie C keeps it veggielicious thanks to Green Gables. "Their vegan dishes are to die for and really make me wonder how we have grown to depend so much on animal products when there are so many tantalizing vegan options out there." We agree, Effie – all hail seitan!
Some people assume you've got to spend the green to go green. Fortunately, Sabrina L knows better after lunching at Prana. She had the "eggplant lasagna (and it was delicious), the butternut squash soup and a banana-strawberry juice, all for $9." Now that's what we call a value meal! In Miami Lakes, Harvest Moon is a health-conscious hidden gem. Jamie C doesn't "know anyone that she's taken there that hasn't become a regular – it's addicting." No intervention needed for that one, folks! For a twist on the usual veggie options try Essential Apothecary, a Native American tea house with a wide menu. Danny F noshed on the pizza served with olive oil and herbs. Native-Italian-American fusion, eh?
On the other side of town, Jordan N assures, "A great variety of affordable vegetarian food is hard to find in Miami, but Sara's Kosher Pizza does everything right. You can have Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and American (pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads), so there's always something" new to try. Meanwhile, after partying hard and working harder on South Beach, Jorge R knows a solid meal at Juice and Java is "the perfect way to detox from all that Miami debauchery." Well that's one fun way to work up an appetite!

A NEW environmental film series in collaboration with:
ECOMB The Environmental Coalition of Miami & the Beaches
Who Killed The Electric Car?
(A documentary film by Chris Paine/USA/2006/92 min.)
It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert? WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business.
“If Americans are addicted to gasoline, what are the 12 steps to recovery?

The film will be introduced and followed with a Q&A by Mr. Allen Miller, President of the Miami Alternative Fuels and Electric Vehicle Club (MAFEV).

Sleepwalking Land (Terra Sonâmbula)
(Directed by Teresa Prata/Mozambique/2007/95mins.)
With Nick Lauro Teresa, Aladino Jasse, Hélio Fumo
In the midst of Mozambique's devastating civil war, Muidinga, an orphaned refugee, wanders the countryside in search of his mother. His only companion is an elderly storyteller, and the only guide to finding his mother is a dead man's diary. Together, the storyteller and diary lead him on a magical, and sometimes macabre, journey across war–torn landscapes to find the family he lost. Based on Mia Coutou's acclaimed Portuguese novel of the same name, Teresa Prata's transporting drama underscores the power of imagination in surviving, and ultimately overcoming, the catastrophe of war.

Wild Strawberries (Smultronstället)
(Directed by Ingmar Bergman/Sweden/1957/91 mins.)
With Victor Sjostrom, Ingrid Thulin, Gunnar Bjornstrand, Bibi Andersson
The film that catapulted Bergman to the forefront of world cinema is the director's richest, most humane movie. Traveling to receive an honorary degree, Professor Isak Borg (masterfully played by the veteran Swedish director Victor Sjöström), is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and accept the inevitability of his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, Wild Strawberries captures a startling voyage of self-discovery and renewed belief in mankind.

With Vladimir Yavorsky, Dzhaidarbek Kunguzhinov, Irina Agejkina
Two couples, one Russian and one Kazakh, live side by side in relative harmony in a beautiful yet semi–desolate region of the Great Steppe. But when the fair–skinned Russians give birth to a boy of decidedly darker skin, fifteen years of suspicion and acrimony arises between them, and can only be resolved by an ironic twist of family and fate. At times darkly somber, at other times tender and wistful–and buoyed throughout by a soundtrack of folk–inspired melodies–writer-director Marat Sarulu draws on Kazakhstan's epic history to create a gritty and deeply compassionate tale of humor and cultural insight.

But that's just what happened: cupcakes have reemerged in 2009 with more flavors, more icing, and more panache. And in this yelpy cupcake round-up we've proven wine isn't the only thing that gets better with time.
Andres S compares Misha's sinfully indulgent, red velvet cupcakes to: "Well, let's just say it's like slipping into a giant red velvetine body sock." Whoa, we're still talking cupcakes, right? Dan B fights the craving for Buttercream cupcakes as he shares: "Those little cakes are insidious bastards. They threaten to entrap you with an incurable addiction. There's something about the softness and quality of the icing that leaves you wanting more." Just so long as they're not inglourious basterds. Ginger H falls at the other end of the sugar spectrum as she "loathed, hated and despised cake--until now." SweetCakes somehow came up with an icing (and a cupcake) that's Ginger-friendly (and super cute to boot)." Fortunately, they also "come in more flavors than your grandma's cupcakes ever dreamed of."
For the health conscious consumer with kids or health concerns, Bunnie Cakes bakes tyke-friendly, allergen-free treats in flavors such as very vanilla and pink lemonade. And vegans need not feel left out of the cupcake craze; you can also score some animal-friendly Earthcakes at Sweat Records while you're there throwing back a fair trade frappe, browsing for your new fave indie band's music, or picking up some DVDs. This is just the sort of spot that makes Jessica G "enjoy supporting local business!" Now that's sweet!
Proving cupcakes aren't just for breakfast anymore, Neomi's boasts a brunch with its own cupcake bar, serving up chocolate-cabernet, rum raisin, maple walnut, lemon meringue, and a marble chocolate cupcake paired with tofu and maple frosting. When Sabrina L was turning the big 3-0, her friends turned to 2 Girls and a Cupcake for help with the sugary planning. They made black and white cupcakes in the shape of the number 30 that left the birthday girl singing their praises. If you want major taste sans a massive price tag? Sugar Girl is your go-to gal. Jen F delights in their white chocolate raspberry but admits "the piña colada was really good too!" With flavors like Snowing in Miami, Havana Nights, and Cafe Con Leche to tempt your sweet tooth, these little babies really take the cake and so should you!

Tips from Bruce Wilk
Run for the health of your knees. The latest research has shown that runners have less knee arthritis than non-runners such as athletes who participate in soccer. Running is actually good for your knees and the old adage of "use it or lose it holds true." So keep on running!

"New Works" Exhibition
Saturday, September 12 from 7 to 10 pm
PressitOn Art Gallery debuts "New Works," an exciting group show comprising previously unseen works from mosaic master Laura DiNello, Atlanta's Cedric Smith, Elena Madden, who is renowned for her mixed-media water landscapes, realist painter Terry Strickland, and award-winning fine-art photographer Tobia Makover. "New Works" will also show the photographic genius of South Florida new comer Jamie Baldridge, a master of digital manipulation who creates surreal photographs alive with imagery that each tell a unique and unforgettable tale. PressitOn Art Gallery will donate a portion of the proceeds to The Association of Hole in the Wall Camps. This event is free and open to the public.

Shifting Constructs: 2009 Grants and Commissions Programs Exhibition
Sunday, September 13
Join CIFO as they present newly commissioned works of six emerging artists who were awarded grants: Miguel Amat (Venezuela), Gabriel Antolínez (Colombia), Suwon Lee (Venezuela), Juan León (Ecuador), Ricardo Réndon (Mexico) and José Ruiz (Peru). The two mid career artists selected as recipients of the Commissions Award are Dora Longo Bahia (Brazil) and Oscar Muñoz (Colombia). As in the previous grant cycles, the artists for this exhibition were not selected based on a specific curatorial structure. This exhibition is a culmination of a year-long process during which the Foundation's International Advisory Committee (consisting of leading artists, curators and art professionals) and the Board of the Directors identified the grant and commissions recipients from over 250 projects proposals. The exhibit is on view until Sunday, November 8, 2009.

Sunday, September 13 from 1 to 4 p.m.

This is the very first South Florida appearance by Stoner and Weiner where they will be available to sign books and answer questions that will help parents raise responsible, resilient and respectful children. Judge Francis will be on hand to begin the "Chain of Respect" and send it on its way throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Children can participate in the "It's Cool to Be Kind Contest" where their artwork will be displayed on the walls of Wannado City. Because the day also honors National Grandparent's Day, proceeds from the "good manners" bracelets will go to The Pantry of Broward.

ODD COUPLE STARS IN LAUGH IN PEACE TOUR
Sunday, September 13 at 3 p.m.
What happens when you have one Muslim and one Jew share a stage? You get the Laugh In Peace Tour starring comedians Rabbi Bob Alper and Mo Amer, who use the universal language of humor to take the audience on a hysterically funny journey. The rabbi, who recently performed at the Canadian 2009 Muslimfest, describes his act as kosher but not preachy and declares that he is, " the world's only practicing clergyman doing stand-up comedy - intentionally." The sharp-witted Mo Amer completes the team and gives full credit to Allah for "making me funny." See this unlikely multicultural match at the Alper JCC for $20 advance tickets or $25 at the door.

Tips from Bruce Wilk
Run for the health of your knees. The latest research has shown that runners have less knee arthritis than non-runners such as athletes who participate in soccer. Running is actually good for your knees and the old adage of "use it or lose it holds true." So keep on running!

The sharp-witted Mo Amer completes the team and gives full credit to Allah for "making me funny." See this unlikely multicultural match at the Alper JCC for $20 advance tickets or $25 at the door.
