Publisher’s Letter

SUMMER OF ’09 The memorable events in our history resonate for decades because they connect us to each other through the past, present and future that we share. In 1969, we watched the first man walk on the moon and we knew that what had seemed impossible the day before was now possible. Millions looked to the future with new hope. The euphoria of that first step did not just belong to the astronauts,

but to all of us, to any one of us who could remember our first solo bicycle ride or any other milestone accomplishment. Was that step, was that bicycle ride a miracle—somehow outside the natural order of the world? Probably not, but it sure felt like it. July 20, 1969 was 40 years ago. Today, many of us have telephones

with more computing power than NASA had on the day they launched Apollo 11. But technical accomplishments have not stopped war, ended hunger or recession, or repaired our broken health care system. Yet there is reason to hope. We elected our first African-American president, a reality many of us did not expect to witness in our own lifetimes. In the summer of ‘69, the reality we shared changed. Let’s hope that 40 years from now we say the same about the summer of ‘09.

Drink a Martini, Save a Fish

INGREDIENTS:1 orange slice1 large (3-4 inch) mango wedge2 oz. Absolut Citron vodka1 oz. fresh sour mix1 full turn peppercorn mill.5 oz. soda watergarnish orange slice

Combine orange slice, mango wedge, Absolut Citron, and fresh sour mix in a shaker tin. Muddle well. Add ice. Take a peppercorn mill and give it one full turn. Shake 20 times. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Add soda water on the top of the martini. Garnish with the orange twist.

How could we pass up mentioning a drink for a

good cause? Every time you order an Ocean Trust martini from Bonefish Grill—a tasty

combination of Absolut Citron vodka, freshly muddled mango

and orange with a twist—a dollar goes to Ocean Trust, an ocean conservation foundation building partnerships for the environment. No need to stop at one! For more information,

Joining a golf club has its perks. Of course, there is the golf—but how about the chance to have lunch and a cold one on the club patio as you watch other guys and gals bang that ball around. Well, now you can. Head over to Galuppi’s at the Pompano Beach Municipal Golf Course and dine like a club member. The restaurant serves a great lunch including a burger fit for someone who just shot par and outstanding salads. One of our favorites is the blackened chicken salad ($11.00); a generous portion of blackened chicken breast (served hot off the grill—not cold and leathery) tops baby greens, walnuts, blue cheese and thinly sliced Granny Smith apples served with balsamic vinaigrette. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the Chinese chicken salad ($12.00); Asian slaw with orange segments, peanuts, crispy wontons, red peppers, grilled chicken breast, scallions and sesame seeds tossed with a hoisin vinaigrette and drizzled with spicy peanut sauce.–Lupé Somerset

It all started when a friend asked him to participate in the SMART Ride—a 165-mile bike ride from Miami to Key West—which raises money to support HIV/AIDS charities all around Florida.

Wake your taste buds up with the house specialty at Bonefish Grill—Bang Bang Shrimp ($7.90). This appetizer is served as a heaping portion of tender, crispy shrimp tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce (and now you can now get them as tacos, too—two for $8.90). Another reason to love Bonefish: they use only environmentally safe seafood. This means they

support controlled fishing regulations or laws that promote the sustainability of all fish species. They also utilize cutting-edge Aquaculture, a natural environment to raise their fish and supply the most genuine environment possible, which, in turn, takes pressure off of commercial fishing. At Bonefish, you get only the type of fish you ordered. They have adopted a species authentication

program that includes random and frequent DNA testing of their vendors on certain species of fish. The fish (with eight varieties to choose from daily) is flown in, inspected and hand-cut daily.–Kim Turner

FishTales

There are world record fish, but most people don’t know that state records exist for many species. Derrick Jaradi caught the new Florida state record Atlantic bonito by landing the 6-pound 8-ounce fish in February. The record was verified just recently.

For avid fisherman, this size bonito may seem small for local waters, but this was the Atlantic bonito—not the much more common striped bonito. The Atlantic bonito usually inhabits much colder water, but a cold current swept down and the fish came along for the ride.Derrick went out with his home-made

butterfly jigs in his 12-foot john boat alone to a wreck in about 150 feet of water. He was approximately one mile from the Boca Raton inlet. “If you look at the picture when it was first landed, the fish almost has stripe

patterns similar to a wahoo, which I thought I had. I was almost disappointed when I got it to the boat and it wasn’t a wahoo. That’s until I got to the boat ramp and people were telling me that it was not a usual catch around here.” Derrick checked online ,and sure enough, it was eligible for the state record.

FlashBackThe Famed

You may know Casa Casuarina as the legendary Versace Mansion on Miami Beach. The home was built in 1930 by architect, philanthropist, author and political reformer Alden Freeman as homage to the oldest existing house in the western hemisphere, the “Alcazar de Colon” in Santo Domingo. Freeman chose to use it as inspiration because of his life-long veneration of Christopher Columbus—the Alcazar was home to his son Diego in 1510. Casa Casuarina is a three-story structure,

operated as an apartment house, with a Spanish-style inner courtyard and 22 apartments. It even contains an original brick from the Alcazar. In 1937, after Freeman’s death, Casa Casuarina was bought by Jacques Amsterdam, who renamed it “The Amsterdam Palace.” Once again, it was operated as an apartment house whose

Miami Mansion

BY KIM TURNER

FlashBacktenants came from the artistic world, attracted to the building as an architectural curiosity.In 1992, on a trip to Miami,

fashion designer Gianni Versace fell in love with it (even though it was in disrepair) and purchased the residence. He restored, expanded, and embellished its features, using Spanish and Italian design; and after demolishing an adjacent hotel, added the south wing, the pool and garden areas. In 1997, Versace was tragically murdered outside his Miami home at the age of 50 by spree killer Andrew Cunanan.In September 2000, Telecom

Executive Peter Loftin bought Casa Casuarina, which had been a long-held dream. He dedicated himself to both preserving its history and bringing new life to the house. Loftin has made no structural changes to the house, but has done extensive work to preserve its architectural history.

He brought back the opulent style of Versace, complete with lavish furniture and details; and restored all of the interior walls—made of intricate stone and marble work, detailed with Renaissance-style mosaics and painted with frescoes. Since the renovations were

completed, Casa Casuarina has been a members-only private club; operated as a luxury boutique hotel, where discriminating visitors can relax in a way available only to a privileged few. (Currently, room rates are $595-$995 per night.)But now you, too, can glimpse

the magic of this famed mansion—Casa Casuarina has opened its doors to the public for tours and/or dining. Formal dining is available at Loftin’s, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. You can also have a bite to eat on the patio overlooking the pool, or a drink in the Tyfanny Lounge (just be prepared for a hefty bar bill).

2009 Committee Tracey Keller Chairwoman

Stan Smith (L) and Dan

Barnett sit at ground zero

for the new Air Lauderdale; the

intersection of A1A and

Sunrise Blvd. Fort Lauderdale

Beach.

Each spring from 1995 to 2007, the Air & Sea Show dazzled and amazed millions

of people from South Florida and beyond. It became one of the most visible

symbols of Fort Lauderdale. Stan Smith and Dan Barnett

think they can bring the event back to its former glory.

OF THELEADERS

BY RICHARD ROSSER

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE NEW EVENT?(Stan) Bring the air show back, much in the form that people remember it, but evolve it into a beach festival—featuring an air show. The purpose of the festival is to make the event more family-friendly and get people moving around instead of planting themselves on the beach and just looking up all day.

WHAT IS THE NEW FORMAT?(Dan) Essentially, we will break the air show in pieces with entertainment in between and spread out up and down the beach. We’ll have an entertainment focus early in the day, then part of the air show, followed by another entertainment focus and so on. Guests can go to the entertainment of their choosing, yet be able to see the air show acts as they go by.

WHAT ENTERTAINMENT ARE YOU WORKING ON?(Dan) In addition to musical acts, we are working with ESPN on an extreme sports show, a kids’ zone and “green village” with exhibitor’s space for hybrid car makers, alternative energy companies and such. A lot of new companies are in the area of sustainability. Also a “thank the troops” area and we’re looking for other ideas.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU GUYS FACE?(Stan) Besides the tough economy, we must communicate how the event will be different. People have a real understanding of what the event was. We are going to change it significantly—not just once, but every year as musical acts and other features change.In addition, the business model has

shifted from McDonald’s spending a reported $3 million to sponsor the event, to more of a transactional model. This is the first year the event will have a gate admission, but we need a more sustainable business model that isn’t dependent on one sponsor as before.

I’m from Kentucky and if we lost the Derby,

someone would do something about it. –Stan Smith

To discuss the new Air Lauderdale, Stan and Dan met me at the World Famous Parrot Lounge just off Sunrise Blvd., which will be at the heart of the 2010 event. They seem to have the passion,

vision and experience necessary to make the event a success even in the current difficult times. The essence of their revived effort is to: keep the air show, add a beach festival with different acts each year, charge admission which creates a sustainable business model so the departure of one big sponsor won’t end the show as it did in 2007. They have already secured the

cooperation of the City of Fort Lauderdale and the commitment of the military. Now they are concentrating on the myriad of other tasks including securing sponsorships, booking entertainment and planning for all the details of an outdoor event for one million people.

SO YOU ARE GOING TO CREATE A BARRIER AROUND THE BEACH AREA FOR THE WEEKEND?(Dan) It’s not that difficult with Birch State Park on the west and the ocean on the east. There’s not as much linear footage as one might think.

WHAT’S THE THING YOU FEAR THE MOST?(Both) Torrential downpour.

WHY YOU GUYS? WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KINGS OF THIS THING?(Stan) I started having conversations like “Another May has come and gone and we didn’t have a show,” so I asked around at city hall to understand the different viewpoints on why the show left. What were the challenges? Would the city entertain the idea of bringing it back? If we could bring the best parts back, how would you make it better? I’m from Kentucky and if we

lost the Derby, someone would do something about it. Indy has the 500, Boston has the Marathon; we lost something that had become part of the Fort Lauderdale experience.

Stan Smith is the Managing Partner of Air Lauderdale and owns and operates PR Experience, a Fort Lauderdale- based PR and government relations firm. Stan formerly headed up the brand creation and rollout of MyFlorida.com —the State of Florida’s Official web portal. Previously, he held the position of Director of Communications at Huizenga Holdings, Inc. and personal spokesman and speechwriter for H. Wayne Huizenga.

Executive Producer Dan Barnett has been producing entertainment/special events for over 25 years. He has booked/produced amazing events such as Jimmy Buffett, Bruce Springsteen, Hurricane Relief Benefit, Planet Hollywood grand openings, Fort Lauderdale Beach Ball concerts and the Beach Place grand opening, among other events.

OUR FIRST

ANNUAL

The committee had a tough job; find 25 men and 25 women to help support Bro-ward’s food bank (Cooperative Feeding Program) which is experiencing unprece-dented demand these days as the economy stresses local families. The men and wom-en all had to be available for the photo shoot, the party on August 1st and 100 percent eligible. By the time we went live with this issue, the committee had landed 46 singles. Enjoy reading about them on the following pages. Also, on each page, we are sharing facts about hunger in our community and beyond.

By next year, we hope more people know about EAST and we get more diversity among our singles. But we have a great group for 2009. If you like what you see, come to Blue Martini on August 1st and you too can help the cause.

Stuff To Do

Perfect your skills or start from zero at LTS Wakeboard and Waterski School on Crystal Lake in Pompano Beach. With instruction for both children and adults, LTS uses a static boom on the side of the boat to offer stability for the first-time skier, which allows the onboard instructor to watch closely and give continuous instruction. Once the student has mastered the boom, then they progress to the long line.

LTS offers slalom waterskiing, on two perpendicular lakes that are 4000-feet-long to protect against

adverse wind conditions; and wakeboarding courses, for all age and skill levels. If you are a beginner, they will teach you how to surf a board and work with the board before you can jump it.

All instructors are certified, one even won a wakeboarding World Championship in 1993. LTS also offers instruction in kneeboarding and wakesurfing; as well as offers birthday parties, and has a kids’ camp during spring and summer break. Private Lessons are available 8:00am-7:00pm daily.–Kim Turner

We can hear it now: “Sweeeet Car-o-line…ba, ba, ba.” Rob Garrett and the King of Diamonds Band pay tribute to Neil Diamond, July 21, 7:00-9:00pm at Mizner Park Amphitheater, as part of the City of Boca’s “Summer Music in the Park” series. The tribute will feature

music of the 67-year-old singer who grew up as a child of Tin Pan Alley before becoming one of the most commercially successful singer-songwriters of all time. Diamond, who released a new album last year, played a live concert in Fort Lauderdale last October. The

free concert is sponsored by the City of Boca Raton, Aurora Nurses Home Health Care, and Florida Health & Chiropractic Medicine. Bring along a blanket or chair (chair rentals are also available for $2 donation). Food is available for purchase. –Kim Turner

We can’t agree more, but what’s up with the acronyms—first YOLO (You Only Live Once) in Fort Lauderdale, and now LOLA (Love Often-Laugh A lot) in Delray? The combo restaurant and “ultra-lounge” LOLA, is scheduled to open early August, (although from the looks of it, they still have a long way to go), in the space once occupied by Addison Steakhouse and in the same plaza, but opposite corner, as its sister restaurant Cucina Mio in Addison Place on Jog Road. Owner Wendy Rosano will be serving a “Mediterranean eclectic” menu, featuring lots of small plates; but the emphasis will be on the drinks—made with high-end liquor, real juices (not fake bar juice) and home-made mixes. There will also be a DJ, flashing LED lights and indoor and outdoor bars and dining. So get RTD (Ready to Drink), and DRUNK (Drink Rum Until Nothing Kills) and be sure to LOLA—just don’t DD (Drink and Drive)! LOL!–Kim Turner

Out to Eat

Are you are on the health-conscious side, but still love to eat out? We recommend Sublime—a natural and organic restaurant and bar. This innovative concept in cholesterol-free, vegetarian dining, has an award-winning menu, an open-hearth oven, and tropical décor with cascading window waterfalls, skylights and Italian glass tiles. The restaurant also gives 100 percent of its profits to support animal welfare—owner Nanci Alexander founded the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF) in 1989 and has been president ever since. In fact, the creation of Sublime is an extension of her efforts to reduce animal cruelty, by

promoting a plant-based diet. Try the specialty: Sublime picatta-gardein cutlets (a veggie-based protein), served grilled asparagus, olive oil-whipped mashed potatoes and a lemon caper sauce ($19.00). Although it didn’t taste like chicken, we were surprised at how tasty and filling it was. The spinach and eggplant raviolis are also really good, served with slow-roasted tomatoes, garlic confit and herbs ($16.00). Pair your meal with a biodynamic glass of wine, or one their interesting lychee or green tea martinis. For dessert, try the coconut cake or the to-die-for “Chocolate Nirvana,” a combination of milk chocolate,Kahlua butter crème, and dark chocolate ganache ($11.00)—well worth the calories and can be shared. –Kim Turner

DON’T LIE! It’s the admonishment parents have said for eons. Who wants to raise a liar? We go crazy making sure kids never lie. Big trouble if they get caught red-handed. What if this approach was a red herring? Could it actually lead kids to lie MORE? Uh oh!

ARE YOU KIDDING? Lying for self-preservation is a natural reaction for youngsters. Telling the truth has to be taught. It takes courage and willingness to lose approval. Worried lying is wrong? Check it.

WATCH ME! We tell kids don’t lie, and then they watch us in our lives. We explain traffic made us late (as we speed down I-95). We say ‘I’m not here’ to avoid a call. Santa, the Tooth Fairy, ‘You weren’t an accident,’ ‘I was giving mommy a back rub,’ sound familiar? A white lie counts my friend, sorry to burst your bubble.

I GET IT! What kids figure out is that we all lie. What is confusing

GoodAdvice

Stop Lying… About Lying!

BY DAWN ROTH

GoodAdviceis that we pretend we don’t. So they decide to play that game: I lie and then lie that I ever lie. Got it! They also learn that YOU cannot handle the truth and will protect you from what is uncomfortable or bumpy going forward. If you think you are owed the truth, you are not. You earn it.

WHAT THE…? A realistic approach that gives kids practical life skills is to be cool with the fact that: you lie, we all lie, and we use it as a tool. Now, as with any tool, you can use it to help situations (build a house) or destroy situations (commit murder). A skilled parent is the tour guide of life willing to go backstage and display what really goes on back there. Scared? Do it anyway!

NOW WHAT? When you lie to the dental assistant that Jared had nothing to eat (when he did); don’t act like you committed a federal offense. Explain why you chose to say that, what worked about it and what you would not

lie about. Lying to keep the peace, maintain smooth operations or to keep friendships intact, are types of lies that work. Openly discuss your reasoning. It’s very freeing.

HEADS UP! When you suspect your child is lying you can ask: “What kind of lie is that?” By avoiding the state of being In Trouble, you are opening up a conversation that helps you figure out what your child is hiding, where they need help, support or coaching. That’s good stuff.

NOW WE’RE TALKING! By naming the lies that work and do not work in your family, you teach a child that you are safe to share the real, sticky, scary and overwhelming stuff. By getting outraged that they are lying, you show them you are not the one to come to when the chips are down. That’s no lie!

WEIGHT-LOSS MYTH #1: GOING ON A DIET AND NOT EXERCISING WILL HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT.Most people would like to believe this, but unfortunately, it could not be further from the truth. Stepping on a scale to see how much you weigh

against gravity tells you absolutely nothing about how much fat or muscle your body has.In order to increase your lean muscle mass and

help your body burn calories, it’s very important that you begin an exercise program.It takes 3,500 calories to store one pound of body

fat. To lose one pound of fat weight, you must burn off those 3,500 calories. In order to lose more than one pound of fat weight, you must increase your activity level (exercising). In other words, if you are taking in 2,500 calories and you are only using 2,500 calories, (this is your basil metabolic rate or BMR) you will not lose any weight.

So, if your BMR is 2,500 calories and you are now only eating 2,000 calories and not increasing your activity level, you will only lose one pound in a week. In order to lose more weight, try increasing your activity levels while lowering your caloric intake. (500 calories + an additional 500 calories from activity X 7 days = 7,000 calories or 2 pounds.)

WEIGHT-LOSS MYTH #2: RUN UNTIL YOU CAN’T RUN NO MORE.Long, slow, steady-state cardiovascular training is a great activity to help you improve your endurance, your stamina and the strength of your heart and lungs. But it is a very poor and inefficient way to lose weight.If you’re looking to lose fat and keep it off

permanently, you must be able to burn off more calories than you are taking in and make an effort

You Don’t Know (Part I)Costly Weight-Loss Myths

Sadly, there are so many unproven weight-loss myths being promoted as the “answer” to an ever-expand-ing dilemma. Every day you are being scammed out of your hard-earned money and precious time as you are bombarded with misleading weight-loss information. It almost brings you to the point where you’re not sure what to believe. Here are the first three of six myths that must be dismissed!

to speed up your metabolism throughout the entire day. Spending that 45 minutes to one hour jogging on a treadmill will only take you so far and it might actually burn more muscle than fat.Increasing your metabolism and building

new lean muscle tissue (the stuff that helps burn fat off your frame), means including resistance training along with your aerobic activity.Here’s where it gets interesting. Strength

training is the key to adding muscle size, improving your strength levels and increasing your lean muscle mass. But it also allows you to eat more food—thanks to your muscle cells needing more nutrients.

WEIGHT-LOSS MYTH #3: IF IT SAYS “FAT FREE” ON THE LABEL, THEN THERE’S NO CHANCE I’LL GET FAT.That statement is so wrong in so many ways. Common sense would make you think that if it says “fat free” on the label, then it would mean that the contents are…fat free. Truthfully, in the business of food labeling, those words don’t mean what they say.If you don’t believe me, read the label

on any can of fat-free non-stick cooking spray. This is one of the most blatant

examples of outright deception. If you look closely you will see that is says something like “for calorie-free fat-free cooking.” The nutrition label says zero calories and zero grams of fat. Compare that to a bottle of cooking oil that has about 120 calories per serving and 120 calories from fat.This is where this government loophole

comes into play. The FDA labeling law says that if there

is less than ½ gram of fat in a serving, a food can be labeled as “fat free.” The big problem arises when you start to realize that no one has regulated what a “serving size” really is. The spray can reads that a serving size is .2 grams. That would be less than ½ of a second of spray. It’s doubtful that many people would ever use that small of an amount.But it’s still labeled as “fat free!” Buyer

beware.Stay tuned to the next issue for the last

three weight-loss myths.
