Our Cover Artist Mark Herron
MR Herron is an author and commercial illustrator. For 35 years, he’s lent his skills to clients like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, several bestselling authors and Delta Airline's magazine Fantastic Flyer. His experience runs the gamut from decorating Happy Meal boxes to outsidethe-box children’s books. His political ‘toons’ are a feature of national radio talk show host Rusty Humphries, while his editorial illustrations enhance the words of Rush Limbaugh in his infamous Limbaugh Letter. Herron’s quirky sense of humor evolved from his many Huck Finn-type adventures as a child growing up in Mississippi, to hitchhiking crosscountry. In 1977, he moved to St. Thomas, where he was employed as first mate for a local charter captain. The daily voyages provided the perfect opportunity to collect odd stories. Eventually, Herron found himself in Hotlanta, where he took a job in an illustration sweatshop that catered to large national companies.
There he honed his skills, learning to emulate different artistic styles, as well as the harsh discipline of crunch deadlines and frequent allnighters. On the side, he designed packaging for worldwide companies like Brainy Baby and created the lovable OrganWise Guys characters that teach kids good eating habits and how to live healthy lifestyles.
MR (Mark Robert, if you were wondering) just moved to Cape Coral from Atlanta and has embraced our community. His art is featured on the cover of our magazine this month. He’s currently working with the new Cape Coral Animal Shelter with a cartoon series “FurBalls,” while simultaneously developing “The Snowbirds,” a somewhat surreal look at those like himself who have migrated to our sunny shores and are ‘Living the Dream’ in this Floridian paradise. His art can be seen at Frame Gallery & Gifts on Del Prado Blvd and at Lorne's Gallery at Tarpon Point Marina. CapeStyle Magazine│August 2017

Wine
A
s the summer barbecue season parades forward in full glory, it seems fitting to take note of the history of one of the most food-friendly grape varietals that complement the savory flavors dominating grilled fare – Malbec. Arguably one of the most popular sought-after single varietal wines today, a mere mention of this grape is likely to elicit excited affirmative ‘oooohs’ and ‘yeses’ from seasoned wine lovers and casual drinkers alike. While today Malbecs are world-renowned for their stellar Argentinean examples, just a few decades ago the variety was virtually unknown and uncelebrated. Indigenous to France, Malbec is a venerable grape, but throughout history its popularity did suffer as a result of being called by a multitude of synonyms. Known as Malbec in Bordeaux, it was called Côt in the Cahors region, as well as Auxerrios, Pressac, Medoc Noir and additional monikers in smaller hamlets around France. Research suggests that Côt was actually the original name for the grape, but its exact birthplace is a bit more ambiguous. Malbec first attained notoriety as the “Inky Black Wine of the Cahors” and as one of the six allowed grape varieties in the Bordeaux blend. While still a
12
CapeStyle Magazine│August 2017
crowd-pleaser in Cahors, it has since fallen out of favor in Bordeaux and very little acreage there is dedicated to Malbec vines. The decline in Malbec’s use in Bordeaux is also a contributing factor in its meteoric rise in South America. Malbec grapes demand more sun than many other international varieties and the high altitude vineyards of Argentina and its neighbors are primed to accommodate. Evidence of an altitude and quality correlation does exist as some of the most esteemed Malbecs hail from the highest vineyards in the foothills of the Andes. Interestingly, the South American Malbecs have significantly thicker skins than those of their European brethren and it is speculated this phenomenon is a result of the elevated altitude. A few widely planted grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon have strikingly similar flavor profiles regardless of the terroir or conditions in which they are grown. This is not characteristic of Malbec. Old World selections exhibit earthy tobacco tones with deep intense tannins, whereas their New World counterparts showcase blackberry and chocolate flavors with softer rounder tannins.

ecs
Malbecs are almost universally oaked to enhance the naturally tannic properties of the grape, but the use of oak below the Equator has been more finely tuned over the past decade or so. Nowadays, an increasing trend in South America is oaking only 30-50% of the wine in the Malbec varietals. This imparts a more elegant sophistication displaying the fine nuances of the fruit rather than allowing a fully oaked wine to overpower those subtleties. This evolution will gain new fans and continue to endear the South American Malbecs to oenophiles around the globe. In conclusion, it would be remiss not to touch on Malbec’s value as a blending partner. In the aforementioned Bordeaux, as well as other areas around France, this variety has been instrumental in creating many highly regarded blends. Additionally, Malbec is a common grape variety grown in Australia where it plays a mostly supporting role in two or three varietal wines. Finally, Malbec is a card-carrying member of California’s popular red Meritage wines. Old World or New, fully oaked or partially so, alone or in a blend, pick up a Malbec to enjoy at your next cookout and celebrate the unique history of this amazing grape variety.

The word breakfast obviously can be broken
down into two words that really explains why
it is so important. Break and fast. Yes, you
are actually breaking a fast. The fast is from
not eating all night while you sleep. When we fast (overnight) our blood glucose levels drop (energy) and the stress hormone Cortisol is
at its peak to offset the drop in blood glucose.
Why is this bad? When Cortisol is released, it
causes the breakdown of muscle protein and
fat. That is bad enough, but if this peak level isn't lowered, it will produce a prolonged
food consumed throughout the day. It will release hormones that can control your
appetite by lowering the cortisol levels stated
earlier.
Another positive effect of eating breakfast is
it can improve our cognitive function during
the day. Carbohydrates increase our blood
glucose levels, thus giving our body the
ability to concentrate and perform mental tasks.

Rye Old Fashioned Anything else? I taught myself flair. “You can’t make an omlet without breaking some eggs” is my favorite saying FUN FACT: There's some myth and truth to this—though it's definitely true now. Basically, by an act of Congress in 1964, Bourbon was named an official native liquor of the U.S., making many people think it was declared the official spirit of the U.S. This was finally pushed forth in a resolution in 2008.

I am a Bartender at: Micellis I have been a bartender here since: June of 2014 I started Bartending: My first shift as a Bartender was at Hustlers Pool Hall on Memorial Day of 2010, so a little over 7 years ago. I am originally from: I wasn’t born in Florida but I have lived in Cape Coral for the majority of my life. Favorite thing about my job? My favorite thing about bartending is making someone’s day better than it was when they came in.

Nothing makes my day like watching someone leave in a much better mood than when they came in. My Favorite Drink to Make: I like making Margaritas. What’s the Recipe for that drink? The recipe I prefer to use starts with an ounce and a half of Jose Cuervo, a half ounce of triple sec, a squeeze of lime, a squeeze of orange, about five ounces of sour mix and a splash of orange juice. Shake in a tumbler, strain and pour over ice. What’s your favorite drink to consume? I’m very much a beer girl, lager preferably. Anything else? Margaritas are my go to mix drink, probably why they’re my favorite drink to make. And I really like anything that has to do with coffee, Patron Café, Spark Plug shots…mmmm 22

Fun Fact Liquor stores are “package stores” in the U.S. They sell “package goods” because the alcohol is placed into bags or ‘packages.’ This is because of laws that require alcohol bottles not be visible in public. June 2017 CapeStyle Magazine│August 2017

Red, White & Brew
South Cape Trolly
The 4th of July celebration started early this
Story & Pictures by Stephanie Karasek
year in South Cape. Considered the “Heart of
Cape Coral”, it is home to a variety of bars and
restaurants, and there is no better way to enjoy
them all but on a trolley.
On Saturday, July 1st, The South Cape
Hospitality
&
Entertainment
Associations
(SCHEA) hosted the 5th annual South Cape Red, White & Brew trolley event.
The event featured some of downtown’s best
restaurants
and
bars
providing
beer,
appetizers, and live music. The participating
locations included Backstreets Sports Bar,
Paradise Pizza, Cape Coral Brewing Co., Dixie Roadhouse, Monkey Bar and Steakhouse, Perk & Brew, Ralph’s Place, Rack’em Spirits & Times,
Tiki Hut and Two Amigos
The trolleys are rented from Naples Trolley Company and seat 80 patriotic party goers. As
a trolley host, I experienced first-hand how much fun these events are.
Over 1000
participants hopped on and off at each
restaurant where they sampled an all American beer and appetizer. Each attendee receives a
passport that they have stamped at each
location. At the end of the night, the passport
is turned in in hopes of winning the grand prize, a summer beach package. In addition,
participants are encourage to have their photo
taken, dressed in their most patriotic garb, in the lobby of Dolphin Key Resort. The photos
are displayed on Facebook for the public to vote on. The winner receives $100.
As the night progresses and the passports
receive more stamps, the trolleys become a party zone. Participants break out in song,
ranging from The Star-Spangled Banner to less
patriotic tunes. Prizes are given away to those with the most knowledge of trivia and an
occasional tattoo contest ensues. At the next stop, a new group of patriotic trolley riders hops on.
By the end of the night you’ve made new
friends, sampled food and drink from some of
the Cape’s best bars and restaurants and have a passport full of stamps in the hope of
winning the grand prize.
Personally, I think the trolley is the best part,
but I’m biased.
SCHEA hosts monthly trolley tours, each with
a different theme and prizes. Learn more at

A Tribute to Mr. Cape Coral, Paul Sanborn By long time friend Chris Schroeder
Paul Sanborn was as unique as Cape Coral itself. When Jack
and Leonard Rosen hired him to be the Assistant Managing Director in 1962, who would have thought of the affect he
would have on the City.
He had such innovative ideas.
One of his first was in
October 1962 when he arranged for a boat-a-cade of 350 boats from Kissimmee to end their trip in Cape Coral. This
is just one small example of Paul’s ability to market Cape
Coral.
In his 55 years here, Paul was known by almost everyone
because he loved his city and was involved in every aspect of it. Even after retiring from Gulf American, Paul became
involved in the banking industry, assisting the City of Cape
Coral in interviewing applicants for key positions in the City
and became Cape Coral’s Official City Historian. He was involved in many boards and organizations, such as Rotary,
Chamber, Cape Coral Hospital Board, and Cape Coral Historical Society.
Over his years of service for Cape Coral, Paul received too
many awards to mention. He had a one of a kind personality and he gave everyone his full attention.
Paul Sanborn will be missed by not only his family and friends, but those few who never met the man will miss
Paul’s service to his City.
Another Awesome Freedom 5K & Fun Run
Story & Pictures by Stephanie Karasek
This year’s annual 4th of July Freedom 5K kicked off at the foot of the Cape Coral bridge with approximately 600 runners, some dressed in patriotic gear, braving the heat and humidity.
The event is helping to care for our American heroes, our veterans. The money raised from this year's Freedom 5K will go to the Invest in America's Veterans Foundation and Special Operations Communicators Association. Both organizations work to help meet the needs of veterans.
The overall winner was Cooper Neeble, of Christiansburg, VA, who finished the race at 18:42 after passing 2nd place winner Dylan
Reichenbacher of Cape Coral, in the final seconds. Neeble, age 16, was here on vacation and thought it would be fun to run a race but stated “I didn’t expect it to be this bad,” referring to the heat.
Manuela Lyons, who finished first in the female division, completed the race at 20:59. Lyons moved to Ft Myers from Germany five years ago in search of warm weather but described the weather this morning as “very humid.”
In addition to the 5K, the event also featured a one-mile fun run for kids and a 100-yard tot trot for the younger ones. The determination on their faces as they ran for the finish line was priceless.
The post-race party included food and beverages, music and even a free massage. Participates received a goodie bag which included a t-shirt, discount coupons and raffle prizes.
Despite the heat, this year’s event was a good time for the entire family and a chance to support and honor our veterans.
