April 1819. François Constantin takes responsibility for the worldwide business expansion of Vacheron Constantin. During a business trip to Italy, this visionary man coined the phrase which would become the company motto in a letter addressed to the manufacture: « …do better if possible, and that is always possible …».

My hope is that you stand up with me and tell our politicians that unless they start compromising and getting things done, they cannot count on our money anymore. I don’t enjoy writing about politics because it can be so divisive.

NOTES A shell of a time
Out of this world: Cypress Bay in spaceback Six students from Cypress Bay High School in Weston have won the grand prize in the 2013 NASA Ames Space Settlement Design Contest. What’s that? Just an international contest among more than 1,500 students from 20 countries, with the goal of designing a “space settlement plan.” The Cypress Bay team won the $5,000 top prize for a project called “Maui,” described like this in its 126-page proposal… “Maui tells a story of how extraterrestrial colonies may grow and develop from ramshackle frontier towns to bustling cities. Maui is the narrative of mankind’s first permanent settlement in the Saturn system, orbiting the moon Titan. This project will be divided into three phases, each taking a snapshot of Maui during a crucial period in its history. Phase 1 will read like a conventional design proposal. It is a plan for building a 124-person mining and scientific research base around Titan. It will include not only the engineering details of how this is to be done, but provide a strong economic case for why Terran entrepreneurs will initially invest in the project. The ultimate goal of phase 1 is to create enough of a profit to pay off Maui’s initial investment.” That impressed NASA senior research engineer Al Globus: “The Maui team delivered a unique and creative project based on energy export from Saturn and presented it in an original and believable manner incorporating both engineering and storytelling, cementing a place for Florida among the top of student space settlement design areas in the world.” Last month, the students (Robert Gitten, Jackie Linevsky, Zared Schwartz, Jonathan Schiller, Reagan Fuhr, and Gabriel Teixeira) and their advisers (Cypress Bay physics teachers Jeffrey Rose and Angela Ashley) picked up their prize at the International Space Development Conference in San Diego. “These kids are truly amazing and are the future of American Space Exploration,” Ashley says. “It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with them. I can’t wait to see where the future takes them.”

This month, the Museum of Discovery and Science hosts its annual evening Turtle Walks. Nature permitting, you’ll have a chance to watch a 300-pound Loggerhead sea turtle venture out of the ocean to lay her eggs. Your walk begins with a talk at 9 p.m. at MODS in downtown Fort Lauderdale, where you’ll learn all about turtles. Then you head to the beach. While this is a a perfect family event, be prepared to walk about 1-2 miles. All participants must be 9 years of age or older. Advance reservations are required, and the cost is $18 for MODS members and $20 for non-members. Call 954713-0930 for details. www.mods.org
Hanbury the humanitarian
The sixth president of Nova Southeastern University is the 2013 Humanitarian of the Year from the Samuel M. & Helene Sorefe Jewish Community Center. George Hanbury II was bestowed the honor on April 28 at the Signature Grand. It was the second such award for the former Fort Lauderdale city manager – he won the Ease Foundation Humanitarian of the Year award in 2011.
Tasting and making
Charitable wine tastings aren’t rare in Broward County, but the latest from the HOPE Outreach Center adds a new twist: mozzarella making. On June 7, the center takes over Gino’s Italian Market in Hollywood for “A Taste of Italy.” Tickets are $30. Call Lois Pevin-Weiss at 954805-9109 for details.

The American Red Cross has added Ray Ferrero, Jr., to its Broward County board of directors. Ferrero was president of Nova Southeastern University from January 1998 to December 2009 – during which time enrollment increased 72 percent. “I will work with the American Red Cross and local business and government leaders to build resiliency and preparedness right here in South Florida,” Ferrero says.

As most Americans are anxiously waiting for the long hot days of summer, savvy travelers are preparing for the upcoming holiday season. If you’ve never been to Aspen, Colorado there is no better time to visit then the Christmas/New Year holiday week. Aspen, a world–class destination is at its busiest at that time of year and it is necessary to book way in advance. It is an outdoor adventures paradise with skiing, biking, hiking and a small-town charm that is unrivalled. A day at the ski resort is like being at a topdesigner runway show! According to Lisa Crawford, Founder of SitInMy Seats VIP Tickets, Travel & Concierge Services, it a diamond in the Rockies! It’s Christmastime in Aspen and the celebrities are there to celebrate along with the paparazzi who are staking out their prey. Aspen is a place where Cartier jewels line the streets and the visitors have signed a confidentiality agreement not to blab to the press. But if you’re looking for a star-studded way to celebrate the holidays, then a trip to Aspen is a must! You will find more full-length furs, mink headbands, diamondencrusted goggles and designer clothing per square foot than any other place in the country during this time of year. Welcome to the world of the rich and famous where the wealthy spray-tanned woman from all over the world know the word “ski” as it applies

to après! Stretch-limousine Hummers line Main Street so that their passengers can have an enchilada at Pinons or a rib steak at the Chef’s Club in the St. Regis. It is the Louis Vuitton crowd spending the holidays before jetting off to St. Barts for the sun and sand but not before checking out Cee Lo Green perform at the Belly Up. Head straight from the ski slopes to the shops! Don’t be surprised or star struck if you see Mariah Carey walking on the ice in her stilettos outside of Paradise Bakery with husband Nick Cannon. Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson love shopping at Pitkin County Dry Goods for jeans and don’t miss a trip to high-end fashion stores, including Morgenthal Frederics, which sells luxury eyewear. You will find Antonio Banderas laying down some serious cash at Ralph Lauren and Loro Piano. So if you have ever dreamed about how the rich and famous live, spend a week in Aspen. It is a dream come true!

HISTORY OF BROWARD HEALTH
Broward Broward Health Health Medical Medical Center Center celebrates celebrates 75 75 years years ofof good good health. health. ON JANUARY 2, 1938, BROWARD GENERAL HOSPITAL OPENED IN FORT LAUDERDALE - was the first hospital to offer medical services to the residents of Broward County. In a renovated apartment building, formerly known as the Granada Apartments on Southeast First Avenue, the hospital had 45 beds, one operating room, a delivery room and an x-ray machine. Things we currently take for granted like air-conditioning or heating they didn’t have. Now three quarters of a century later, Broward Health operates more than 30 healthcare facilities, from the Chris
38
JUNE 2013 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
Evert Children’s Hospital in Fort Lauderdale to Broward Health Coral Springs. The entire system has more than 8,000 employees. Broward General Hospital is now called the Broward Health Medical Center and it has more than 3,100 employees and 900 doctors. The number that matters the most to Newana Bowman is “one”, because she was the first baby born at the original Broward General 13 days after it opened. “My sister and brother were born at home” Bowman says. Her family doctor had retired when Bowman’s mother was pregnant with her – and that is how she became the first baby born in a hospital in Broward County.
Here are some other big numbers for Broward Health…
1950s
Two additional patient floors were added, along with a new surgical unit, a laboratory, kitchen and dining space, and an emergency department. The first electrocardiogram machine in Broward County, one of only two in the state, was installed.
1960s
The coronary care unit opened, along with the first follow-up pacemaker clinic in the country. The Robinson Wing raised the bed total to 468 plus 50 bassinets. In 1962, the first black physician received full privileges and opened its doors to the black community and The first kidney transplant in Broward County was performed in 1969
1970s
The first cardiac cath lab opened along with the neonatal ICU, and the first ED Communications Disaster Control network in the state was established. They became one of a few medical institutions in the nation to offer radiation therapy. The first open heart surgery took place and they are first in the county to use nuclear medicine as a diagnostic tool
1980s
A lithotripter, a sleep disorder lab and the first MRI in the area were installed. The Medical office building and parking garage were built and the first open heart surgery received its first heart donor.
BROWARD HEALTH’S FIRST BABY: NEWANA BOWMAN Says the lifelong Pompano Beach resident: “There was nothing between Fort Lauderdale and Pompano at that time. We didn’t even know anything about Las Olas Boulevard!”
The NICU was designated a perinatal regional center
1990s
The Chris Evert Children’s Hospital and Women’s Center opened. The Trauma Center was Designated as a LEVEL I Trauma Center
2000s
A partnership was set up with Jackson Memorial Hospital to perform the county’s first liver transplant A $150 million dollar expansion of a 485,000 square foot addition took place, and The Lillian S. Wells Women’s Center is opened

In September 1979, Tom Shea quit his job as employment manager at Memorial Hospital in Hollywood to launch his own business. His new office was his 849-square-foot condo, TOM H. SHEA and his budget was $2,000. Oh, and his new pursuit was something that had never been done before in Florida. The 33-year-old Shea launched Florida’s first outplacement firm. His job? Help laid-off employees find jobs. (A downsizing company hires an outplacement firm to help its soonto-be-former employees find new work in the field or get trained for other fields.) “Outplacement existed in New York and other places, but not here,” Shea recalls. “I wanted to do outplacement, it was my calling.” So what was the response from other HR professionals in South Florida? Shea got a lot of “That’s stupid.” But here’s why he was smart… • He thought about starting his own business long before he did. “If you haven’t woken up every morning for months thinking about starting your own business, you shouldn’t do it,” he says. Shea says he spent months not ony researching his decision to start his own business, he thought about it when he when he went to sleep and when he woke up in the morning. • He relentlessly researched it. Sheea even took his two weeks’ vacation to attend a workshop in Kansas City hosted by the author of “What Color is Your Parachute?” “That book is about career counseling,” Shea says. He still swears by it.
MOTHER, OR A BOSS. • He didn’t risk everything. His wife Maureen still worked as a recruiter – “She
42

was making 26,000, and that was big bucks for us” – and he set aside $2,000 of their $10,00 in savings. “We weren’t risking our life savings on a whim,” he says.
Leighton admits, “You get an uneasy feeling in the beginning – your next paycheck is coming from yourself. But the first sale? That’s all it took. You booked it, you shipped it, and wow, it was fun. Let’s do more.”
• He had emotional support. If Shea wasn’t well capitalized, he was well-loved. “Maureen said go for it. And when I said, ‘What if it doesn’t work,’ she said, ‘Then you get a real job,’” Shea recalls with a laugh.
• Financial rewards should never be a priority over customer service. Just last year, Leighton attended an annual aviation convention in Orlando and ran across one of his longtime clients. After 30 years working with Leighton, this client was retiring from the industry. Leighton says it got emotional.
And that, Shea says, is how “I became an apostle of outplacement.”
“We took pictures, we hugged,” Leighton says. “That was a pretty special moment.”
★ THE WHOLE STORY ABOUT PARTS ARMANDO LEIGHTON, JR CEO, JET SPARES, INC. When you call Jet Spares, Inc., if you get put on hold, you’ll hear this: “The company began in his mother’s garage…” It’s perhaps one of the few hold messages that make you want to know more. Here it is: In 1972, when Armando Leighton was 13, he got a job. “I ARMANDO LEIGHTON, JR wasn’t even legal to work, but he was a neighbor,” Leighton recalls. The neighbor owned an aviation company, and Leighton earned $1.50 an hour to work in shipping and receiving. When he was 19, he got a better job, as purchasing manager for an FAA repair station. But he almost didn’t take it, out of respect for his neighbor. “One of the hardest things to do was leave him,” he says. But in 1982, with $2,000 in savings, he established his own aviation parts busines. His office was his garage. His only part-time employee was his mother. But sales stacked up fast. “The numbers were pretty large,” he says. “By the third year, we were grossing revenues of $1 milion – out of a garage.” Why? Because Leighton followed a few rules. • How can I make myself different than the rest? For Leighton, it was customer service. He’d follow up with customers, eve from pay phones: “Mr. Customer, did you get your part? Are you happy with it? That’s how we captured market share.” • Never be apprehensive to take calculated risks.
FELIX S. SABATES
★ A SEA OF SUCCESS FELIX S. SABATES, JR., CHAIRMAN, TRINITY YACHTS Growing up in Cuba in the 1950s, Felix Sabates recalls, “My mother used to go to what today would be considered the welfare office, and they gave her rice to cook. So we were poor.” So at 16, he fled Castro’s Cuba and came to the United States – by himself. He knew very little English and had very little with him. Besides his clothes, he had a few dollars and a couple boxes of cigars. Sabates landed in Boston, washing pots and pans in a hospital. Eventually, he made his way Missouri, where he attended high school and washed more pots and pans. Eventually, he ended up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he worked at the airport. “I parked cars and washed cars,” he recalls. In 1964, he parlayed that into a job selling them at a Chevy dealer. When he sold a car to an executive at a company called Top Sales, “I asked him for a job.” And when the owner wanted to retire, Sabates bought the company – “even though I had no money.” Sabates recalls: “He worked with me, and he cosigned the loan for me. If he hadn’t given that opportunity, I wouldn’t be here today. He gave me a break of a lifetime.” From there, Sabates built up Top Sales by launching products like the Teddy Ruxpin talking bear and Atari’s videogame Pong. He met the owners of Trinity Yachts, and eventually bought the company. What has Sabates learned from his rags-to-riches life? • “You can’t do it by yourself.” Sabates says he worked hard to get where he is, but that alone wouldn’t have been enough if others hadn’t recognized and nurtured his potential. • “I never looked back in my life, good, bad or indifferent.” It’s not that Sabates has no regrets, just that he sees value in them. “You learn from the bad experiences, you benefit from the good ones,” he says. Sabates says it’s a cliche, but perhaps because it’s true: “A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits.” LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM | JUNE 2013

AN ATV THAT’S ALL WET The Quadski looks like a cross between an ATV and a Jet Ski – because it is a cross between those two. Made for both land and water, it reaches up to 45 mph on both. In five seconds, with the push of one button, the Quadski’s four tires retract, and you’re literally cruising. Quadskis start at $40,000, but for the money, you get a true head-turner. When Quadski owners enter or emerge from the water, “as soon as they come out and park it, their normal reaction is usually WOW,” says Graham Jenkins, Quadski’s communications manager. The vehicles come in red, black, silver, blue and yellow, and are sold in only two stores in Florida: RIVA Motorsports in Pompano Beach, and Cycle Springs Powersports in Clearwater. www.gibbssports.com

EAT, DRINK AND MAKE Money If you want to throw Dad a party, you can rent out and shut down most South Florida restaurants. But only one will let you gamble as you dine. That’s because only one can legally offer blackjack with its meals. Martorano’s Italian restaurant in Hollywood’s Seminole Hard Rock Casino plaza got permission just a few weeks ago to add a couple of blackjack tables inside its over-thetop establishment. Owner Steve Martorano has already made a name for himself by selling “the world’s best meatball,” according to Gourmet magazine. “The games are legal because Martorano’s restaurant is on Seminole property, and the tribe has a five-year agreement with the state to offer blackjack,” Sun Sentinel gambling reporter Nick Sortl has written. “The casino gets
48
JUNE 2013 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
the blackjack revenue. Martorano’s gets the increased traffic, the ambience, and high-rolling diners who don’t want to stray too far from the action.” Adds Larry Mullin, chief operating officer for Seminole Gaming: “The addition of Seminole Hard Rock blackjack tables to Martorano’s Italian-American kitchen is about having fun while enhancing the gaming and entertainment experience for our guests.

BRINGING Dad HIS HEROS When former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber retired after the 2006 season, he missed you. “The problem is, once you retire, you kind of lose that connection to your community,” says Barber, who still lives in New York. “Replaced on the field and then ultimately in people’s minds. So while you have fans, you don’t have access to them.” Barber changed that 10 months ago when he founded Thuzio, a company with a clientele of athletes – including former Miami Heat player Tim Hardaway and current Miami Dolphin Paul Solai – who will hang out with you. For a price. The company has the majority of its athletes available in either New York or South Florida. A typical rental: Pay $1,000 to have lunch with Larry Little, the Hall of Fame guard on the perfect-season 1972 Dolphins. Barber says each athlete who participates chooses what events are available on the website, ranging anywhere from $149 for a phone call with Hardway to $4,000 for a coaching session with Solai. Bowling (yes, bowling) will set you back around $625, depending on the athlete. “What we’re attempting to, and what I think we’ve done, is give those who have great talent the ability to control their brand and monetize in ways that weren’t possible before,” Barber says. www.thuzio.com
MARCUSTHIGPEN: BEING THE FATHER HE NEVER HAD At 26, Miami Dolphins running back Marcus Thigpen is one of the younger members of Thuzio, and he’s been rented out for only one day so far – although, he says, “It was pretty cool. I just signed some autographs and took some pictures.” He got involved because he thought it was an easy way to make some extra money. After all, he has four young children to support – three daughters between 2 and 9 and a 3-year-old son. With such a large family, Father’s Day is important to Thigpen. Last year, “It was cool. My kids got me a lot of balloons and cards, some candy, took me out to eat. Basically just chilled with them on the beach. It was a good day.” And this year? “I don’t know, they may have something up their sleeves. I’m looking forward to it. My wife is always trying to surprise me, so I don’t know what to expect.” It’s quite a change from his own rough upbringing in Detroit. “My dad was never really around so we didn’t celebrate Father’s Day. My father was my mother, so I celebrated with her,” he recalls. “But for me, it’s a lot different because I’m involved with my kids life, and they love me. So to have that experience with them is a blessing.”

Julie Talenfeld is an unabashed news junkie with proud roots deep into South Florida’s media scene. The Miami native grew up while her father Ben Silver covered news stories for the old WCKTTV/Miami. When her father later signed on with CBS News in New York, young Julie napped on the newsroom floor beside Walter Cronkite’s desk. “News is in my DNA,” says Talenfeld, founder of Boardroom Communications, one of South Florida’s largest public relations firms. “As far back as I can remember, news has been a central theme in my life.” That theme translates to effective P.R. and business development for Boardroom clients. The firm provides traditional P.R., crisis communications, social media services and public affairs counseling for established corporations, emerging entrepreneurs and non-profits. “We help our clients get their stories told, in print or on television, and via social media services like blogging, Facebook, LinkedIn and Youtube,” Talenfeld said. We use the natural synergies between traditional and social media to get that South Florida TV news hit or a New York Times feature posted and positioned to potentially be seen by millions.” After graduating from the University Of Florida College Of Journalism in 1984, Talenfeld interned at CNN in Washington. At 22, she founded the Florida’s first statewide business radio show, later overseeing P.R. for a $100 million New York investment banking firm. At 25, Talenfeld launched Boardroom Communications. Today, the firm employs 17 – half of whom have strong news backgrounds. The South Florida
Business Journal lists Boardroom among its largest P.R. firms, a Top25 Woman-Owned Business and on its Top 25 Corporate Giving list this year. The University of Florida College of Journalism honored Talenfeld with its Distinguished Alumni of Distinction Award in 2011. “Talenfeld and her team are media savvy and know how to strategically target a diverse mix of potential buyers,” said Mark Pordes, president of Pordes Residential Sales & Marketing. Pordes is marketing Veer Towers at City Center in Las Vegas, a luxury residential real estate development – and Julie and her team are promoting it. “In a competitive condo market, Boardroom helped Canyon Ranch Living Miami Beach establish itself as the premier property of its kind,” added Michael Sadov, director of sales with the beachfront condohotel. “We were front page in the Wall Street Journal the second month of our contract. CNBC-TV shot our North Tower launch party soon after.” Boardroom secures national TV coverage for Marina Palms Yacht Club & Residences in North Miami Beach, and lands major features about the upscale Bal Harbour Shops – highlighting its position as the most productive shopping center in the world. Beyond client success, the firm provides pro bono P.R. to a few well known area nonprofits. Its five senior executives serve on non-profit boards, and each Boardroom publicist is encouraged to work with at least one charity. “I feel very fortunate for the success we’ve achieved,” Talenfeld said. “We have a talented team that works hard to make a difference for our clients – and in the community.”

THE CAUSE Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease of the respiratory and digestive systems that affects about 30,000 children and adults in the United States. Currently, there’s no cure, but through impressive research efforts, the median age of survival has risen to more than 37 years. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has consistently been recognized as one of the top voluntary health organizations in the United States and has been acknowledged by such publications as SmartMoney and Forbes for its efficiency and innovative approach to curing a genetic disease. Almost 90 cents of every dollar of revenue is available for investment in vital CF programs.
TICKETS Tickets to attend Fort Lauderdale’s Finest gala are available for $150 per person. For more information about the event, to purchase tickets, or to find out about sponsorship opportunities, call Elizabeth Weiss (954) 739-5006.

FORT LAUDERDALE’S FINEST GALA THE EVENT
When you title your charitable fundraiser “Fort Lauderdale’s Finest Gala,” you’ve set some high expectations. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation insists it’s up for the challenge. Held at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, the gala will “honor young professionals for their success in business, outstanding leadership and their fundraising commitment to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,” says Elizabeth Weiss, development director of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-South Florida Office. More than 250 guests will honor Chelsea Barker, Kendra Cummings, Tammy Duncan, Brian Engel, Suzi Forum, Heather Geronemus, Greg Hoffman, Mackenzie Smith, Travis Suit, Mitch Taylor, Jeff Stark, Zachary Weiner, Alexandra Neto, AJ Rodriguez, Hilary Lis, Kristy Riano, Christina Chen, Kristopher Fisher, Molly Carey, and Cheryl Seinfeld. The evening will feature a silent auction, live entertainment, open bar, and dinner. All of that will be followed by dancing into the night. This year’s event is being chaired by two previous honorees, Joanna Piira and Britta Schlagger. Says Schlagger, the advertising manager at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek... “The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to make strides every year and I am proud to be a part of this amazing team. I became involved in the CFF Fort Lauderdale’s Finest as a honoree in 2009, joined the committee the following year and proud to have been co-chair for the past three years. It was a wonderful opportunity to give back and be a part of a group of young professionals who wanted to begin to make a difference. We as young professionals have an opportunity to set an example for others to get involved with the CFF and help support the development of new drugs to fight the disease, improve the quality of life for those with CF, and ultimately find a cure.”

Arbitration Resolution Services
210 N. University Drive, Suite 802 Coral Springs, 33071 (888) 934-1777 • arbresolutions.com
Quick to Judge BY BRANDON BALLENGER
Tom Weber and Mark Norych say their new company is going to create a “seismic shift” in the U.S. legal landscape – that it’ll make court battles cheaper, faster, and more convenient. Weber is the 54-year-old president and CEO of Arbitration Resolution Services, a company that wants to use legal experts to settle cases across the nation – online in days, instead of face-to-face in months. And for less than $100 in many cases, instead of thousands. But Weber doesn’t take credit for the concept. “Mark has been the visionary,” says Weber, who lives in Palm Beach Gardens and has helped translate the idea into a business model. “He has 30 years of experience in litigation across the country, and he came up with the concept of putting everything on a cloud-based platform that resolves disputes in an economical, time-conscious, and fair way.” Norych, who’s 56 and lives in Coral Springs, says besides the insurance industry (which he spent decades representing) and the American Arbitration Association, few people use arbitration to settle legal battles. “Arbitration goes back beyond organized religion courts to Biblical times – King Solomon was an arbitrator,” Norych says. “I thought there has to be a way – a dramatically better, cheaper alternative. But nobody has come up with a formula, and that was the goal.” Both men say they’re not out to eat lawyers’ lunches. “This is not a system to replace attorneys,” Weber says. “We’re covering the area they don’t address.” ARS handles cases under $100,000, and fees for disputes between individuals start at $95 for vehicle-related damage and $125 for property damage. There are also businessindividual and business-business categories with comparable prices. Appeals are pricier, starting at $750.
58
JUNE 2013 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
“You don’t have to be an attorney or paralegal — they’re not needed,” Norych says. And unlike pro se litigation, where people who sue represent themselves and have to figure out all the complex regulations, ARS walks you through everything in plain English. “We’re not targeting anybody with a high degree of sophistication – high school level at best. It says: ‘What happened?’ You describe it. ‘What do you have to support it?’ You scan and upload photos or documents. If you forget, there’s a warning,” Norych says. You can use a smartphone, too. “It prompts you throughout. There’s a personal homepage for users with the status of the matter, and with any deadlines the program automatically generates prompting emails. Unless you’re dead, you can’t miss a deadline,” Norych adds. From there, an arbitrator picks up everything both sides have submitted. If necessary, he or she can schedule a phone or video conference for the parties. ARS has more than two dozen arbitrators with a minimum of five years of experience, but on average 24 years’ worth, and they can handle thousands of cases a month, Norych says – because they can work on them anytime, anywhere. The system is up and running, and ARS is in talks with various large corporations and banks about using it. Says Weber, “It’s not restricted to Florida, it’s national. And eventually, it’ll be around the world.”
Advice on Arbitrating
With over three decades of experience with arbitration, Mark Norych had some advice on how to avoid getting stuck with lawsuits as the only option, and why he thinks arbitration – especially online – is better. Get a prenup. “Rule No. 1, when you sign a shareholder agreement or any businessto-business agreement, look for or request an arbitration provision so you’re not faced with litigation as a certainty.” Use the looser rules. “One of the most beautiful things is, you’re not bound by the court’s rules of evidence. In a litigated matter, you have to lay a foundation and prove an authentic chain and that precludes you from using the best evidence.” Go virtual if you can. “Any interaction is by telephone or video conference, so the anxiety is removed from the process and there’s much less confrontation. You don’t have to stare at the person you want to pay you.” Have good timing. “You don’t have to disrupt your normal daily life in small business or as a consumer with a legal problem. You don’t have to miss a day’s work.”
If your family is facing a life-threatening illness... We care for all of you, so you can focus on loving and living.
Don’t wait . . .
Our families often wish they had called months sooner. “We all felt such a sense of relief as soon as we were in Hospice’s care. We had a team of medical experts who were always there for us. Their loving care gave my mother the encouragement to go forward. They gave her the sense that each day of her life was worthwhile. This restored her hope and gave her a wonderful sense of peace.”

Capitalizing the community BY BRANDON BALLENGER
Lynne Wines has been in banking all her life, and she’s had leadership roles at four Florida community banks since 1986. Now 58, the Parkland resident is CEO and president of First Southern Bank. “I started as a teller and worked my way up over the years with progressive opportunities to take more responsibility,” Wines says. She’s been with First Southern for about two years, snagging the job after being introduced to chairman J. Herbert Boydstun, she says. Before that, she was president and chief operating officer of CNLBank in Orlando. “By the time I left as CEO, it was a $1 billion bank,” says Wines. Going back further, she was Florida CEO of Colonial Bank, and she spent most of her career at a small Broward community bank called Union Bank of Florida. First Southern has about 200 employees across the state, and Wines says the bank is doing well because it lacks the cash-flow problem similar-sized banks often have. It’s focused mainly on small businesses and professionals, although it offers the full range of services and products you would expect

elsewhere. “We focus on businesses that need or want personal attention – and want to know the decision-maker,” Wines says. “We have a lot of capital, and we’re one of the best in the country.” Earlier this year, the bank added a Small Business Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture lending division. The bank was founded in Boca Raton in 1987 and still keeps headquarters there, but it has seen most of its recent growth because it acquired the assets of two failed banks: Jacksonville-based Haven Trust Bank of Florida in 2010, and Orlando-based First Commercial Bank of Florida in 2011. During that period, the bank more than doubled its assets from $400 million to more than $1 billion and tripled its number of branches and clients. It went from five branches in South Florida to 15 across the state, and from roughly 5,400 to 17,500 customers. The bank was restructured at the start of 2012 after Wines took over, focused on growing more organically. “We are very grateful and respectful of our clients,” she says. “We have to compete every day, and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.” She says there’s no special secret to getting new customers. “It’s all about hiring the best people, which is the No. 1 objective of mine,” she adds. Wines’ history in philanthropy is as long as her career in banking. She’s been a member of the executive committee of the Council for Educational Change, chair of United Way of Broward County, vice chair of public television station WPBT Channel 2, and chair of the American Heart Association’s community board and walk campaign. She’s the current chair of 211 Broward, a nonprofit hotline that helps callers connect with social services for a wide range of issues including foreclosure, job training, depression, and homelessness. “We will refer you to the right place for just about anything,” Wines says. “We even have trained suicide counselors,” she says.
Two cents from a CEO With a 30-year career leading banks, Lynne Wines had advice on how to make it in the industry, or just how to deal with it... Learn from everybody: “Surround yourself with as many successful people as possible. I’ve been mentored by smart people, and it can be people above you, your peers, or even people working for you. You can learn from those around you by being open to change.” Work with your bank: “If you’ve written a check that’s not going to clear, reach out and talk to your banker. If you can’t make a payment one month, let them know. We want people to be successful, that’s what makes us successful. We’re not the enemy.”

TIME TO COME OUT OF HIDING? 5 TIPS TO TAKE THE EMOTION OUT OF INVESTING JAMES BONILLA
Field Director, Northwestern Mutual The South Florida Group 500 East Broward Blvd., Suite 2000 Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33394 Phone 954-735-9000 James.bonilla@nm.com Or visit James.bonilla.nm.com
Concerned about the stock market? If so, you’re not alone. In volatile markets, it’s common to feel anxious about investing. However, successful investors know that while weathering market moves isn’t easy, it can be rewarding. To help you keep your emotions in check during uncertain markets, consider the following five steps. 1. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MARKET OPPORTUNITIES. Stock prices fluctuate for a lot of reasons. While past performance is not indicative of future performance, historically stock prices have rebounded from setbacks. In fact, during market lows, you may have the opportunity to add to your portfolio with quality investments at attractive prices. 2. DON’T TRY TO TIME THE MARKET. For investors, trying to outguess the market is not only a stressful strategy; it can also be an expensive one. By moving your portfolio to the sidelines, you might miss a market downturn, but you could also miss a rally. That’s because most of the market’s gains are often clustered into very short time periods. To benefit from the market’s long-term performance, you need to make a plan and stick with it through market ups and downs.
62
Please remember that no investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. 3. DON’T LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR GOALS. Some investors believe they can soften the effects of a market decline by selling off their stocks and buying more conservative investments. This could prove a mistake, especially if you’re investing for long-term financial goals like retirement. While stock market volatility can be unnerving, stocks historically have outperformed other major asset classes. Of course, past performance does not guarantee future results, and while stocks may have outperformed other asset classes, they also may be more volatile. Investors should carefully consider their ability to invest during volatile periods in the market. 4. MAINTAIN YOUR MIX. During difficult markets, it is inevitable that some of your investments will perform better than others, shifting your portfolio from its original target allocation. That’s why it’s important to review your portfolio periodically and rebalance your holdings as needed to bring your asset allocation back in line with your goals, risk tolerance and timeframe. 5. WOR K WITH A PROFESSIONAL. A successful long-term investment strategy evolves as your needs and goals change over time. An experienced financial professional can help you take an objective, unemotional approach to investing and keep your overall performance and
JUNE 2013 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
goals in sight regardless of market ups and downs. While these strategies won’t completely eliminate the risk associated with the potential of loss that comes with investing or make your investments grow at an even rate, it can help you keep your emotions in check. And as we all know, that’s important because investing can be an emotional rollercoaster. Article prepared by Northwestern Mutual with the cooperation of James Bonilla.

THE PIRATE REPUBLIC SEAFOOD & GRILL BY RANDI AILEEN PRESS, THE DINING DUCHESSTM
In 1977, Roberto and Claudia Guerios had a 98-foot wooden schooner sailboat built to begin their adventure at sea. They named the schooner the Senhor Das Ilhas (Lord of Islands) and set sail from Brazil. The two spent the next 27 years chartering their sailboat in Tortola during the winter and summers from the Caribbean to Venezuela. During their charters, they met local fisherman who shared meals cooked with local spices. In 2005, Roberto decided to find a permanent home for his family. So he brought his recipes from all over the world to Fort Lauderdale and transformed a neglected building into a beautiful clipper ship bar with a boat dock. Roberto extends his hand out and offers a warm grin as he welcomes us. His gold hoop earrings, one in each ear, and his interesting accent, a mixture from Brazil, Italy, and Greece, captures me as he explains the style of cooking at the Pirate. Every recipe is an original concoction from his travels. Each dish is created from scratch and built with layers of specific spices. The flavor is specific to an area of travel. He explains a trip to St. John that took three times back and forth to create a recipe for chowder. He kept returning back until he mastered the taste. He explains further that fisherman keep things simple when they cook using the most fresh ingredients and spices that translate to great flavor. All the menu items are prepared skillfully

with influences from the Caribbean, South American, Mediterranean, and America. All those years sailing and searching for the right serene harbor eventually had the two locate in South Florida. Pirate’s location is unique and well hidden. A Fort Lauderdale skyline is completely in sight. The water sparkles, pirate flags sway in the wind and tranquility comes over you while dining. Not all treasure is silver and gold. This treasure is edible and is worth walking a few planks to your seat to taste. The bounty is also reasonable for private functions, corporate events or everyday dining. Whether you dine on the main deck

If you are adventurous and enjoy seafood, Republic will become a favorite of yours.
St. John’s Lobster Chowder
Roberto and Claudia traveled 550 miles over three days to meet the chef who inspired this chowder in St. John. Served in a bread bowl, the soup is rich and creamy. ($13)
Seafood Moqueca
Tickle your tongue and scrape the plate with this one! Red, green, and yellow peppers, garlic, and onions in a fiery tomato sauce served with a splash of coconut milk is deliciously unique. Served with rice, this meal comes in two sizes. ($29 and $53)

Dulce De Leche
This dessert, served as a small layered cake, is a confection prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a product that derives its taste from caramelized sugar. Literally translated, it means “candy of milk.” ($8)
