READ MORE ABOUT THE FINALISTS Here's what their nominators wrote about these finalists. Three words that reflect Dr_ Eduardo Padron's impact: MIAMI DADE COLLEGE. He has dedicated his entire professional career to MDC. From starting the Interamerican Campus in a borrowed classroom of a Catholic school to growing the college to the largest institution of higher learning in the country with the highest number of graduating Hispanics and minorities. Downtown Miami's incredible growth is partly as a result of Dr. Padron's vision for Wolfson Campus which has been the anchor of our downtown for decades. Miami Dade now has the largest study body of any college in the nation. It has been responsible for afford ably educating many current community leaders and those of tomorrow. As cofounder of Square, serial entrepreneur Jim McKelvey has plenty to keep him busy . But in his hometown of St. Louis and here in his new home of Miami, MCKelvey has seen a disconnect between the jobs available in IT and the programs that would ready would-be workers - especially those from underserved areas -- for those jobs. To fill that gap, he cofounded Launchcode, a non-profit organization that creates pathways to economic opportunity and upward mobility through apprenticeships and job placement in technology. The program partners with hundreds of companies to set up special on-ramps into apprenticeships and jobs in technology. It is slated to go nationwide this year. Valerie York-Zimmerman, founder of Mindful Kids Miami, is an educational visionary. She believes in a scholastic environment for children where benefits of mindfulness-increased focus and attention, enhanced self-awareness, stress reduction, and above all, kindness-infuse the classroom . An inspirational leader with extensive experience teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to adults, she envisioned expanding these life-affirming principles to children. Convinced the most effective way to reach children was by training their teachers, Valerie embarked on this daunting task with indefatigable energy and focus. In 2015 Valerie obtained approval of a path-finding pilot project between Mindful Kids Miami and Miami-Dade County Public Schools, providing mindfulness training to hundreds of teachers , who implemented the techniques in their classrooms. In just one year, results were remarkable : enhanced academic and social-emotional learning and improved student behavior. The program has tremendous potential for improving both school success and personal wellness of children for generations to come .

Student's 3D-printing idea could

help people with feet problems

BY STEPHANIE BRITO [email protected]

When Marco Femandez­ realized that commercial insoles weren't helping his flat-feet problems, he de­ cided to work on a more customized insole product - using 3D scanning and printing techniques. Marco, who's 16 anda junior at the School for Advanced Studies Wolfson Campus, has suffered from a flat-foot problem all his life. The problem has af­ fected his performance in so.ccer, where he is cur­ rently in the regional pool for the state team. "In my younger years, [my flat-feet problems] ROBERTO ~OLTUN ' rkoltun@elnuevoherald,com weren't as prevalent.

Student's 3D-printing idea could help people with feet problems HIGHLIGHTS

Marco Fernandez, 16, created a business plan for his idea, Digifeet, and won the Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge He has developed an idea for a 3D-printed foot insole with Dr. Richard Santo Mallia, a podiatrist, after meeting him at the Moonlighter makerspace in Wynwood Marco hopes to make his idea a reality to help people with feet problems like himself find truly custom insoles

Marco. who's 16 and a junior at Miami-Dade County's School for Advanced Studies at Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus, has suffered from a flat-foot problem all his life. The problem has affected his performance in soccer, where he is currently in the regional pool for the state team. "In my younger years, [my flat-feet problems] weren't as prevalent. But then I was starting to get injuries in soccer, and it was hurting my feet and my calves," he said. Marco had spent a lot of time at a makerspace called Moonlighter in Wynwood with his sister, Alessandra Fernandez, 18, a senior at

New World School of the Arts, who was working on some art pieces. He realized that he could use the same 3D scanning and printing techniques he saw at the makers pace to create a more accurate insole product for himself. "Once I found the solution to what was my problem, I thought, 'Why don't I help others with the foot problems they're having?'" Marco said. "Companies in the market aren't helping people with the problems - they just have general insoles." He approached the staff at Moonlighter, who were finalists for the Business Plan Challenge in 2014, about his idea, and they connected him with Dr. Richard Santo Mallia, a podiatrist with a master's in public health from FlU. The two shared their ideas and decided to join forces to create Digifeet, a company that connects podiatrists, designers and patients to create a custom insole. "He has a lot of enthusiasm, and he's very bright. I can see where he's going with this, and I really believe in what he's doing, " Mallia said about working with Marco. Marco, with Mallia's mentorship, then compiled the idea into a business plan and submitted it to the Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge High School Track, which attracted 104 entries this year - and he won.

HOW IT WORKS Patients looking for a custom insole would find out about Digifeet from either a mobile application or from their podiatrist. Patients would then scan their feet using a 3D scanner and send the scan to a designer who would then create a 3D image of the insole to print. The cost would be $95 plus shipping for the insole. Doctors can purchase either a monthly or yearly package with 3D scanners. For $1,600, the monthly package includes a 3D scanner on lease, 3D scanning training and tech support. For $18,000, the yearly package includes a 3D scanner, two 3D scanning trainings and tech support.

.,

On the mobile application, patients can find podiatrists who have 3D scanners. Once patients go to an appointment, the podiatrist will determine whether the patient has a foot problem. If they do, the doctor will scan the patient's foot and send the file, along with information about the patient's foot, to a 3D designer, who would then design the insole. After the doctor approves the design, the insole would be sent to print at a 3D printing hub and delivered to the patient's local doctor.

PROGRESS Right now, the team is working on creating a protorype for the insole by taking 3D scans of Marco's feet and other patients with feet problems. The team is also working on getting more doctors on board with the project. One of Marco's goals is to get Digifeet covered under insurance . "We're trying to see if insurance could cover the appointment because that would be huge. Realistically, a lot of people who have foot problems are older, and if it could get covered by insurance, it would save a lot of money," Marco sa id. Since they're still working on prototyping, the team hasn ' t looked into patents yet, but they intend to file for one once they create the app. When creating Digifeet, one of the biggest challenges the team faced was creating a unique product. Other companies do make insoles, but 3D scanning is the ultimate way to make custom insoles, Marco said. Another major challenge the team has faced is time: Both Mallia and Marco have full schedules. "Whenever [Mallia is] available, I'm ready to work with him . He 's full of energy," Marco said. "This is definitely one of my priorities right now. He has so much knowledge on the topic." Despite that, the team makes an effort to meet and work on the project because they are both certain that it will be a success. "I think that if [Marco] doesn't come out with it first , someone else is going to come up with one later," Mallia said. Marco plans to go to a college where he can continue to pursue entrepreneurship. He mentioned Brown, Columbia and Wake Forest as possible options. In his free time, Marco loves being active; he teaches karate classes and received a black belt when he was 12 .

Bipolar

Local author answers the challenging question "What if a perfectionist was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and struggled with her self-worth until she realized her value ,"

Miami, FL, May 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Instructor, writer, and entrepreneur, Tricia M Foster announced today that she is raising funds via a rewards crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to publish and market her young adult novel featuring a bipolar protagonist. In this novel, bipolar disorder is not presented as a disability, but as a gift that allows the protagonist to view reality in a unique way. The launch of the campaign occurred on May 1, the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Month. The author has set a goal of $6,500 to publish and market the novel to support diversity in young adult literature.

[;>

This is a special project for Tricia since she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder five years ago at the age of forty: "It was devastating, and I was a successful middle-aged woman . I can only imagine how difficult it is to be labeled like that during the crucial ages of 15 - 25." The novel, Darwinian Mystics: Book of the North, began as a scene by scene blog. The website, darwinianmystics.com, provides a glimpse inside the writing process by posting the outline, rough draft, editorial feedback, and revision of the first act. "My goal is to show students that writing is not magic, it's persistence." Tricia Foster is an adjunct English instructor at Miami Dade College, InterAmerican Campus, where she often works with the college's Access department to help students with special needs. She is also the Creative Director of Crafting the Message, LLC where she is an academic and creative writing coach who enjoys helping people find their own voice.

SOURCE United HomeCare Retired Congresswoman To Receive Claude Pepper Litetime Achievement Award MIAMI , May 4, 2016/PRNewswire/ -- United HomeCare® (UHC), South Florida's leading home care organization, will honor retired Congresswoman Carrie P. Meek with their Claude Pepper

Litetime Achievement Award this Thursday , May 5'h at the company's annual dinner at the

Hilton Miami Downtown, 1601 Biscayne Boulevard, starting at 7 PM. Five other honorees from

the private and public sector will also be honored including Lourdes Rivas, Florida Medicaid

Plan President for Amerigroup Florida/Simply Healthcare, Monroe County Administrator Ramon

Gastesi, attorney Richard Lehrman, Ride2MD founder George Hernandez, and Max Rothman,

head of the Alliance for Aging.

Congresswoman Meek turned 90 years old on April 29'"' A powerful voice for Miami's diverse

community, she served in the US House of Representatives from 1993 to 2003, representing

Florida's 17'h congressional distriCt. She was one of the first African-American lawmakers to

represent Florida in Congress since Reconstruction. Prior to her election to federal office, she

served both in the Florida State House of Representatives and in the Florida Senate from 1978

to 1993. She fought tirelessly throughout her political career on issues related to

unemployment, immigration, discrimination, and the needs of older adults. As an educator she

spent three decades teaching, mentoring and as an administrator at Miami Dade College where

she had a profound effect on the lives of countless South Floridians.

"Carrie Meek's legislative career represented the epitome of public service : selfiess and

passionate advocacy for those she represented," said Carlos Martinez, President and CEO of

United HomeCare. "As an educator she helped guide numerous young people, including

myself, to pursue college and make a difference. She also constantly advocated for older adults

and is entirely worthy of the Claude Pepper Litetime Achievement Award named for her late

legislative colleague."

Senator Claude Pepper, the award's namesake, was throughout his Sixty years of public

service, an uncompromising fighter for elderly rights and care. The dinner and award ceremony

represents the 22nd year United HomeCare has honored his memory and recognized

community leaders who embOdy his passionate leadership for older adults.

Engel demonstriltes a finely textured compre- . hension of the wretched of the earth, which she neither idealizes nor pi­ ties. Reina's family is so dysfunctional, they·woli.1d give the. Galhighers on Shairieless a run for their liquor money. But every brutal revelation is mea­ sured with compassion. "We're not of ritual and celebrations," Reina says. "We are people who live . day by day." This hand­ to-mouth existence does not lend itself to the tut­ tutting of middle-class moralists. Engel does not care if we like her charac­ ters. She just wants us to imderstand them. 'The Veins of the Ocean.' Patricia Engel. Grove. 320 pages. $25.

Clearly she did a con­ siderable amount of re­ search for this novel. What is it like in prison? How are dolphins treated iri an aquarium? (One of Reina's jobs.) Engel has the answers. When she talks about Nesto's expe­ riences in Cuba, she knows whereof she speaks. Along with Miami and Key West, we are given a tour of Havana. Cartagena also makes an appearance, and Engel's observations of that city are telling andinforma­ • tive. At around midpoint the pace turns sluggish. You may feel discouragedj have patience, the speed will pick up again. Some of you may express incre­ dli.1ity at Reina's com~ mand of language. How .can a high school dropout with no demonstrated interest in reading com­ pose such beautiful sen­ tences? She sholi.1d be giving lectures at a uni­ versity, not painting nails. You will just have to sus­ pend your disbelief. "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" T.S. Eliot asked. The Veins of the Ocean is a tale of re­ demption and restoration . that believes forgiveness is unattaimi.ble until one forgives oneself. And the awfli.1 burden of know­ ledge can be lifted through storytelling, the transference of memory into narrative, an essen­ tial duty, "if only to tell someone else one day. . what was,what coli.1d . have been, and what will never be again."

Born in Colombia, Ortiz immigrated to Miami when she was 7. An Honors College student with a major in biology, she plans to attend medical school and specialize in neonatal perinatal medicine so she can help newborns in need across the world. Ortiz also helps those in need in her community. This semester, she founded the Helping Hands club at MDC. The organization collects essential items to distribute to homeless shelters and orphanages. She is also the vice president of the Pencils of Promise Club as well as a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society, Mathematics Club, and the Chemistry Club. Ortiz is a volunteer with the Holtz Children's Hospital baby hugger program, a hands­ on experience where she learns to care for critical newborns through feedings and interacting with nurses. As an All-USA Community College Academic Team member, Ortiz will receive a $5,000 scholarship and special medallion. The All-USA Community College Academic Team is sponsored by Follett Higher Education Group and presented by USA Today with additional support provided by the American Association of Community Colleges and Phi Theta Kappa. The All­ USA Community College Academic Team members were also featured in the USA Today newspaper. For more information, contact Magda Castineyra at 305-237-6910.

$l Kscholarships awarded to 117 Dade students.· BY STEPHANIE BRITO

[email protected]

The Miami-Dade Youth Fair & Exposition awarded $1,000 college scholar-· ships to 117 Miami-Dade high school seniors during its annual awards ceremo­ ny dinner on April 19. In previous years, the scholarship program award­ ed 80 scholarships. This year, the pool of applicants was so large that the youth fair increased the amount of scholarships to 117. "We saw by the large · number of talented, in­ telligent and deserving high school seniors who applied to our scholarship program that there is a need for find­ ing ways to make higher education reachable," said Robert Hohenstein, presi­ dent and chief executive officer at Miami-Dade Fair & Exposition, in a news release. "We are proud to be able to help make college . education a little more af­ fordable for Miami-Dade students." Eder Vieco, 18, of Chris­ topher Columbus High School, said he applied for the youth fair scholarship as a way to make it easier for his parents to pay for col­ lege.. "I feel like my parents have always provided for me by putting me in good schools, and I want to give back to them by helping them with scholarships," he said. Vieco plans to attend FloJida International Uni­ ··versity to study finance.

Y aunque nadie sabe cuantas de esas mujeres estan asistiendo a clases junto a sus hijos, los educadores creen que su numero ha ido creciendo con los anos. La Gran Recesion y la reduccion de personal por parte de las companias ha obligado a trabajadores de edad mediana a regresar a la escuela para reinventarse a si mismos, pero ademas hay muchos que deciden volver a la escuela en busca de estimulo intelectual y para mejorar sus habilidades. Karen Reinford-Perez, de 46 anos, y su hijo Richard Perez, de 30, son parte de esa tendencia. Ellos se graduaron el ano pas ado de la Universidad Nova Southeastern en Davie, con bachilleratos en Ciencias de estudios paralegales. Karen, quien lleva veinte anos trabajando en Nova, siempre habia querido seguir estudiando pero "no tenia el valor. No pense que estaba lista para eso, y estaba muy ocupada criando a mi hijo como madre soltera", dijo.
