HAPPY HOLIDAYS – BELIEVE The year is coming to a close and I am grateful for the success at Lifestyle Media Group. A little more than 10 years ago, I was sitting in my dining room with a vision to grow a business that would build a better community: A world class magazine company supporting our community, company and clients. My goal was 10 magazines in 10 years to fulfill this dream. I also envisioned an elite marketing, creative and editorial team that would be the envy of other firms. This year we not only achieved the objective, but met my expectations of being poised for further growth. Now, I have the privilege to welcome the former Editorin-Chief of the South Florida Business Journal to the Lifestyle Media Group Team. Kevin Gale joins the journey to put us on the pinnacle of being the most relevant local content provider to our readers while elevating the reputation of our advertising partners. He brings the experience and expertise to ensure a sustainable media company. I am proud to introduce him as our Editor-inChief! Other publications try to cultivate the market, however, only Lifestyle Magazines has given its heart and soul to support our city and those organizations in it, throughout the years. This investment has been beneficial to all concerned. Feedback tells me our readers and advertising partners place a great value on the effort and the mutually beneficial results. Our commitment is to continue this endeavor. With Kevin on board, we have furthered our pledge to elevate our reputation, as well as that of our clients and community. We will work together to help everyone achieve greatness. Speaking of greatness, in this issue we look at celebrities who have chosen to make our community their hometown. From sports icons to those we see on television and the movie screen, our city has provided all the comforts the stars desire. I hope you find this feature interesting and insightful, as well as an affirmation you also made a great decision to live right here! I conclude with the hope that your year has met your expectations, you have achieved all your goals, and the New Year looks even brighter. If it hasn’t, I encourage you to continue to press on to attain your dreams. Look up, get up and never give up! Believe. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza and Happy New Year! As always, enjoy the Lifestyle. Jim Norton, Publisher jim@lifestylemagazinegroup.com

Clean Bill of Health Broward Hospitals Named “Top Performers”
Heated bus-shelter seats by Grand Central Station
Hello Sunny South Florida Broward tourism launches a $6.5 million advertising campaign As a South Floridian you have no problem picturing yourself lounging on a sunny beach on any given afternoon. But for prospective “snow birds,” that image takes a little more creative effort to paint. That’s why Greater Fort Lauderdale tourism officials are banking on a new multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to boost interest in the destination and attract more overnight visitors in 2014. Using the theme “SPF (Sunny Partner Focus) 2014, We’ve Got You Covered,” the marketing initiative will include major consumer events in key markets such as New York. One ad campaign will feature heated bus-shelter seats in the shape of lounge chairs by Grand Central Station in January. “We are once again raising the bar with a $6.5 million advertising program, the most ever spent in the bureau’s history, and aim to shatter our record-breaking tourism numbers in 2014,” said Nicki E. Grossman, president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. Similar marketing efforts are planned for Chicago in February, Washington, D.C. in March and São Paulo, Brazil, in April, as part of the “We’ve Got You Covered” road show.
MJ Helps Dedicate An HIV Museum World’s First Will Open in Wilton Manors
Earvin “Magic” Johnson

DECEMBER 2013 | LMGFL.COM
It has been 21 years since basketball great Earvin “Magic” Johnson shocked the world by announcing that he was HIV positive. Coming full circle, Johnson was in Broward recently to dedicate the World AIDS Museum and Educational Center, the first of its kind in the U.S. The museum, to open early next year, was funded by a $94,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Broward, and from 34 individual donations of at least $1,200 each. The museum will feature an “AIDS Chronology,” a multimedia timeline of the disease, and a room where people can video personal stories for a “virtual quilt” of memories. Beyond its importance as an archival record, museum President Steven Sagon sees the facility as a tourist attraction.
The Joint Commission is the leading independent U.S. health care inspection agency. Each year it rates U.S. hospitals for their commitment to quality and helping improve health care for the public, based on annual data about clinical-processes shown to be the best treatments for certain conditions. This not-for-profit organization accredits and certifies more than 20,000 health care organizations and programs. The good news: This year’s report named 16 Broward medical centers as “Top Performers,” including Broward Health Coral Springs, Holy Cross Hospital, and Plantation General Hospital for their excellence in treating heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia, as well as their surgical care. Also included was Broward Health Imperial Point and Westside Regional Medical Center.

Walk of Fame The Broward Education Foundation honors distinguished alumni Nearly 400 people showed up in downtown Fort Lauderdale for the Broward Education Foundation’s inaugural Hall of Fame awards program for distinguished alumni. With former Dolphin Twan Russell serving as emcee, seven outstanding alumni were honored for contributions to education and community—and their own success. Among those honored were educators Dr. Dorothy Jackson Orr (retired Broward public school deputy superintendent), Erik Anderson (Tropical Elementary principal), Susan Franklin Adams Colton (Parkside Elementary principal) and Lori Sessions (JP Taravella High School theater

Plans for Sustainability Go Solar A $1.575 million grant will reduce the cost of installing solar panels in Broward Broward County continues to make strides in the battle for sustainability. After trimming the time it takes to obtain a rooftop solar permit to 30 minutes with online permitting, the Go SOLAR Florida team is now tackling the issue of cost. Since most expenses to install solar panels are “soft costs”—anything other than the equipment itself, such as installation and maintenance—the U.S. Department of Energy issued a Rooftop Solar Challenge II to encourage local communities to cut those extra fees. The reward: A $1.575 million grant. The Go SOLAR Florida team, which includes nine Broward cities, the city of Venice in Sarasota County, the Florida Solar Energy Center and Florida Atlantic University, was one of only 8 recipients of the Rooftop Solar Challenge to receive the award nationwide. Over the next 2½ years the money will help fund everything from technical assistance to financing programs to a solar energy festival, currently set for June 6-7 in Fort Lauderdale.

CONTEMPORARY SWISS PERFECTION Heir to a long-standing watchmaking tradition, the Baume family founded the “Baume Frères” company in the Swiss Jura in 1830, which immediately won over a public providing the right balance of state-of-the-art innovations and distinctive timepieces. Since its creation, the brand has seen continuous development and success. Being the seventh oldest brand, it is recognized as one of the founding pillars of the Swiss watchmaking industry with its own manufacture based in Les Brenets in the Swiss Jura.
THE EPITOME OF URBAN CHIC All of which goes to prove that the enduring Baume & Mercier new Clifton Collection sets an understated elegant
brand motto is more vibrantly alive than ever:
tone for contemporary men seeking an intensely masculine, yet
‘‘ Accept only perfection,
contemporary timepiece. Its 1950s inspired classic double-beveled steel or 18K red gold case combines urban charm with the technical
an extra touch of sophisticated class; while the stellar model in this

04. Voodoo BBQ
TOP Five BROWARD’S BEST BBQ 01. Dixie Pig BBQ Dixie bills itself as ‘Back Yard Barbecuing at its Best!!’ and it’s pretty close to the truth. The place feels like someone’s backyard, with makeshift gazebos for seating outside and nothing more than a tiled porch for ‘inside’ eating, lit by yellow fluorescents—way Redneck. But their ribs are unbeatable, crisp on the outside and soft, fall-off-thebone inside. The sauce is North Carolina-style vinegar-base, and they bottle their own, with Gold (honey mustard), Hot, Sweet (nice and thick) and Vinegar variations. The sign on the wall says it all “Mountain Dew Sold Here. Ya-hoo.” 4495 N. Dixie Highway, Oakland Park 954-772-5977

They also have the hands-down best BBQ chicken—meaty, moist, tasty—and baby-back ribs that really do fall off the bones. Lots of pig paraphernalia and Mardi Gras bric-a-brac dress up the place, and their BBQ flavor has an Asian influence that makes it more interesting than your average sauce. 105 SW 6th St., Pompano 954-946-5590
03. Rock n Roll Ribs
02. Chez Porky’s
Okay, so it’s a chain, and it feels like a chain—bright, noisy, with a fast-food approach. Having said that, they do a few things really well, which is why they have lines out the door. One of their standouts, and not common for BBQ places, is a slow-smoked brisket that is moist and delicious. Also, their pulled pork has just the right burned bits to give it a little chew. They serve a lot of New Orleans style food, too, such as Gumbo and Jambalaya; the Mojo Crystal, their hot sauce, is a hallmark of their regional taste.
Owned by the drummer from Iron Maiden, there is heavy metal music on the big screen and enough platinum records and guitars for a rock museum. What really rocks here is the pulled pork, which melts in your mouth, and the ribs aren’t bad either. The sauces are sweet; the hot sauce has a nice tang and the mustard sauce is very tasty. Overall it’s the most upscale BBQ environment out there, with drop lighting, dark wood and window booths. The sauce for the fried onion rings is take-home good. Great coleslaw, too. 4651 State Rd. 7, Coral Springs 954-345-7429 (RIBZ)
05. Jack’s Bar-B-Q Above all, Jack’s brings the smoke: In the parking lot is an old barrel smoker, burning oak logs that are stacked along side. Dubbed “The Smokehouse of the South,” that smell alone is enough to draw you inside, where you can get beef ribs, baby backs, smoked chicken or pulled pork. Because they smoke their meats, you get that pink look inside, tasty yet firm, enhanced by their molasses-based sauce. They’ve got some nice sides, too, like collard greens and cornbread. The inside is nothing fancy, just simple tables with rolls of paper towels for when things get sloppy; there’s a drive-through pickup if you want to eat at home. 500 E.

Rick Case and his wife Rita break ground on the new VW dealership.
Bigger, Faster, Better THE NEW RICK CASE VW DEALERSHIP IS THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD. BUT IT’S NOT JUST FOR SHOW. By J.P Faber
n a hot day in August, construction magnate Terry Stiles took the podium at a topping off ceremony for a new building his crew was racing to complete: A Volkswagen dealership in a strip of Davie along I-75 that borders Weston. Behind him a massive slab of pre-cast concrete, decorated with U.S., Florida and Styles Corp. flags, was readied for its final hoist to the top. “I just wanted to thank my guys for all their hard work,” he said, noting that two crews had worked 12 hours a day, six days a week to erect the structure in record time. “Of course it’s still not fast enough for Rick Case,” he said, with a deliberate wink. The structure that Styles’ workers were laboring to wrap up is purportedly the largest VW dealership in the world, both in terms of height and square footage. Its job: To house so many new VWs that any combination

of color, style, interior and option package would be available to a would-be customer. Like some scene out of the Matrix, where rows and rows of armaments pop up to offer a seemingly infinite choice, the idea is that you can dial up your dream auto and have it available immediately. It’s also the latest jewel in the crown for Case, one of South Florida’s auto dealership kingpins, with a reputation for being driven and getting things done. “We’re just trying to make it easy for the customer,” says Case, whose auto dealership empire includes Nissan, Volvo, Toyota, VW, Fiat and Honda outlets. “To make it fast and easy to buy a car.” That may seem like an obvious tactic in a world of incredible choice options, but it’s really a new wrinkle in an old business—and just the latest in Case’s “We’re just trying to arsenal of tools to attract make it easy for the new customers and retain customer. To make it existing ones. Among his earlier fast and easy to buy innovations: Doubling the a car,” says Rick Case. factory warranties of his cars. Which means that if a carmaker guarantees its vehicles for five years and/or 10,000 miles, Case doubles that to 10 years and/or 20,000 miles. Which is one reason that he stopped carrying lines of American cars 20 years ago (“They’re better now, but back then I was constantly doing warranty work,” he says.)
The largest VW dealership in the world is the latest jewel in the crown for Rick Case.
Another perk for customers: A discount gasoline center, where Case sells fuel to his customers at cut-rate prices. “We buy tankers and sell the gas at wholesale prices,” he says. “But better still are the car washes. All you have to do is pull up and get a car wash.” He also lures customers back with a rewards card program, so that every time they buy a car from a Rick Case dealership they earn points toward future discounts. “The Rick Case rewards save you hundreds, even thousand of dollars—and the car washes are free!” As for the new VW dealership, Case’s superlatives are matched by some record-breaking figures. At 95 feet high, it actually is the tallest, and
at 328,000 square feet, it actually is the largest VW dealership in the world. Case would have made it larger, but it was the biggest he could get the city of Davie to approve. When it comes on line this month (December) it will house 800 cars and 200 employees, most of them armed with iPads so they can instantly supply information to customers who will travel with them by elevator to one of eight floors, all stocked with different models, all basking in the glow of LED lighting. It’s all part of the Case here-andnow approach to sales, including keeping models of the competition in house. “If they say I’m going to look at [another make] we’ll let them try it
right then,” he says. Case, meanwhile, continues to push the envelope of both the art and science of selling cars. Last year he celebrated his 50th year in the business, and this year he’s announced a three-year sponsorship agreement with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. In exchange, Rick Case automobiles will be on display at BCPA—along with signage, playbill ads and a lobby kiosk. “I just love the business,” says Case. “I love dealing with people.” That is fortunate, since 600,000 BCPA patrons will be filing past his new car displays each year. And if they want a particular VW, there’s certain to be one in stock. Q LMGFL.COM | DECEMBER 2013

Broward’s Winningest Coach NSU’S UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL IS THE REIGNING STATE CHAMPION, WHICH IS WHY SO MANY COLLEGES KEEP TRYING TO STEAL ITS SECRET WEAPON. by ryan cortes
he first time colleges called Roger Harriott and asked him politely to leave his job and join their teams he wasn’t even a state champion. Not anymore. Harriott, who took over the high school football program at NSU’s University School in 2007, hasn’t had a losing season since—including the 2010-2012 years of 12-1,12-1, and 14-1. But the best was last year, when Harriott steered his squad to a 13-0 record and a 24-17 win in the Class 3A state championship game against a team from Madison, FL. “Every team has a different personality and last year’s team just was determined to win,” Harriott says. Funny thing is, most people didn’t think Harriott would still be the coach last year. He had earlier accepted a job offer to become the running-backs coach at Syracuse University before having a change of heart. “It was the most agonizing decision my wife Merisa and I had to make,” he says. “It was a very flattering opportunity.” After thinking things through, however, Harriott decided to stay. “We felt like that opportunity might disrupt our family dynamic. So we decided to turn it back around and come back to University School. It’s been nothing but a blessing.” That hasn’t stopped college football coaches from ringing Harriott’s phone, however. It’s only gotten worse since he won the Class 3A state title last year, including the Sun Sentinel naming him one of the top candidates for the vacant FAU head coach gig. “It has been a difficult process because there’ve been several intercollegiate programs that have offered me various positions, just recently,” says Harriott. “It’s just humbling, to be honest with you.” What keeps Harriott at University School, the high school on the Davie campus of Nova Southeastern University, is what he calls the school’s “therapeutic environment,” which gives students a safe place to grow. “It’s just a very heartwarming and welcoming place.” Harriott, a former running back for St. Thomas Aquinas High School and Villanova University, also thrives on the opportunities that football presents for teaching life lessons to high school students. Just recently, Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin made the news because he left the team amid reports that he was bullied. Harriott didn’t shy away from talking about it with his team.

“From a leadership standpoint you always want to take current events and help kids realize why it’s so important to balance their emotions and make appropriate decisions,” Harriott says. “Those are learning lessons—and a great teaching tool.” The hope for fans and supporters of the University School football team is that Harriott cares so much about shaping young people that he’ll pass on bigger money for college football. That and his love of South Florida, of course. “What I love the most about Fort Lauderdale is the diversity of our culture here,” he says. “We’re extremely accepting in regards to appreciating each other for our differences. Not to mention the weather.” Q

Good Will Painting LOCAL ARTIST RAISES THOUSANDS FOR CHARITY BY: IVETTE FIGUEROA
S
ometimes, extraordinary things can come from humble beginnings. As head custodian at Westchester Elementary in Coral Springs, you would never assume that Joseph Gormley would come to stand next to celebrities like LeBron James and Mario Chalmers, raising thousands of dollars for charity. Joseph’s story can be traced back to James Truslow Adams’ ideals for the American Dream—a dream that has carried Joseph through his journey of self-discovery. Born and raised in Glasgow, Scottland, Joseph moved to Florida 10 years ago when he met and fell and love with his American wife, Erin Ruth. He was always the artistic type, having attended college in Scotland to be a graphic designer, but it wasn’t until his wife bought him a set of watercolor paints for Christmas in 2006, that he truly began to realize his own slice of the American Dream. “My wife saw my artistic talents and thought that painting would be a great hobby for me to do in my free time. To my surprise, I came to truly enjoy it. I tried all types of styles and mediums—my favorite being acrylic pop art,” says Joseph. “It has taken me six years to find my true style for the brand Joseph Gormley Art and I am still learning.” In April of 2012, Joseph’s “wee hobby” evolved into somewhat of a hometown phenomenon. “I painted a portrait of Neil Lennon, the Head Coach of my favorite Scottish Soccer team, Celtic FC. My artwork was given to a website called CQN (Celtic Quick News) and was put on eBay to raise money for an 11-year-old girl in Scotland who needed help for an overseas cancer treatment,” recalls Joseph. Within days, his painting raised $8,000 for her treatment. “It was such an awesome feeling, knowing that I had done something to make a difference in someone else’s life.
62
DECEMBER 2013 | LMGFL.COM
After that moment I knew I wanted to help others… and that I could use my gift of painting to do it,” he says. Since then, Joseph’s artwork has graced the walls of the Sun Life Stadium, the BB&T Center, and the homes of dozens of celebrities. His paintings have been seen and signed by celebrities like Rod Stewart, David Beckham, Steven Tyler, Wimbledon winner Andy Murray, ex-Miami Hurricane Bennie Blades, Seattle Seahawks players Marshawn Lynch and quarterback Russell Wilson. And he has raised money for several charitable organizations, including The Osacar Knox Appeal, The Yorkhill Children’s Foundation, The Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund, The Prestige Club, and The Boys and Girls Club. “This is just the beginning of my American Dream,” says Joseph. “One day I hope to reach my goal of raising $1 million for charity. Coming to America and making a million for myself, that’s boring—it’s been done. But, coming to America and raising a million for other people—that will tell people, long after I’m gone, about what kind of man I wanted to be. My artwork is a legacy I will be proud to leave behind.” Q To check out Joseph’s art and his future fundraising events, visit www.josephgormley.com.

Business Report Card A Good Year For Broward Economic Development
Alliance CEO Bob Swindell overlooks downtown Fort Lauderdale
By J.P. Faber
E
ach fall the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance announces its achievements in economic development at an annual mega meeting. This year’s presentation at the Signature Grand in Davie marked the Alliance’s 50th birthday—it was first founded as the Broward Industrial Board in 1963—and drew a record audience of 650. One big focus was on new transportation initiatives underway or planned for Broward County, one reason why Dave Barger, president and CEO of JetBlue Airways, was the keynote speaker. He used the occasion to reveal expansion plans for the airline at Fort LauderdaleHollywood International Airport. Barger’s report was just one of a bevy of announcements about new companies, new jobs and, equally important, retained jobs—those that might have gone elsewhere without incentives to stay. Altogether the alliance, Broward County’s official public/private partnership for economic development, reported that it helped attract 22 new company relocations and expansions during its 201213 fiscal year ending Sept. The result: more than 1,700 new value-added jobs, nearly 1,500 retained jobs and more than $180 million in new capital investment. Some of the companies that relocated or expanded in Broward County were: • Actavis, a generic pharmaceutical manufacturer in Davie, is adding 220 new jobs and retaining 509 jobs, and will make a $40.5 million capital investment. • Anthem Education, a Fort Lauderdale headquarterd company for post-secondary educational institutions, is adding 70 new jobs and retaining 85. • Citrix, the leading software developer with headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, is adding 200 new jobs and making a $7.5 million capital investment.

DECEMBER 2013 | LMGFL.COM
• Great Healthworks, a Hollywood company that develops and manufactures nutraceuticals, will add 401 jobs and retain 320. • Parallon, a healthcare company/workforce solutions company headquartered in Sunrise, will add 125 new jobs and retain 164, and plans to invest $3.9 million. The alliance also announced two new company expansions, starting with People’s Trust Insurance Co., a Florida-based company that provides affordable homeowner’s insurance. New to Broward, it will provide 500 jobs—300 immediately and 200 more in the next 24 months—as it moves into the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University’s Deerfield “This past year was a Beach campus. banner year for the The second was Nyrstar, a global Alliance,” said Bob mining and metals business, which Swindell, president and will establish its new corporate CEO of the Greater Fort headquarters for the Americas in downtown Fort Lauderdale, adding Lauderdale Alliance. 25 new jobs at an average salary of “Our work to diversify Broward’s economy, with $143,000. “This past year was a banner year our partners, is paying off for the alliance,” said Bob Swindell, in many ways...” president and CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance. “Our work to diversify Broward’s economy, with our partners, is paying off in many ways—including the fact that Broward County had the lowest unemployment rate of any urban area in Florida for all of 2013.” At its annual fete, the alliance also installed FP&L executive Ben Wesley as the new chairman of the board, and awarded Mike Jackson, Chairman and CEO of AutoNation, with its 2013 Ray Ferrero Jr. Economic Development Leadership Award.

There are lots of hometown kids who went off to make it big, as well as famous (and infamous) faces that have settled down here. They are the Bold and the Beautiful of Broward who have made their mark in the world. Here is a city-by-city survey of the celebrities among us.

fest§ How to enjoy the greatest show on H2O
BY Ivette Figueroa
W
hen you think of sunny South Florida, a winter wonderland with spectacular holiday lights, ornaments and whimsical decorations is not the image that dances through your mind. Yet, every December, for more than four decades, Fort Lauderdale transforms its waterways into a dazzling aquatic procession of maritime merriment. The Seminole Hard Rock’s Annual Winterfest Boat Parade, which many revelers call “the greatest show on H2O,” explodes onto the New River with more than 100 vessels, ranging in size from mega yachts to paddle boats, all gratuitously adorned in holiday splendor. The floating holiday party kicks off with an explosion of fireworks from a special barge as the flotilla starts on its 12-mile route at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, departing from the New River docks near the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. The carnival convoy travels east past the historic Stranahan House and Riverside Hotel, moving down the New River before turning north on the Intracoastal Waterway. From there, the parade proceeds to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach. Since its maiden voyage in 1971, the Winterfest Boat Parade has grown from a local celebration into an international holiday festival. It inspires community pride and increases awareness of the Greater Fort Lauderdale area as a flood of tourists join the festivities each year. “My involvement in Winterfest goes back about 20 years,” says Winterfest Chairman Ken Ortner. “I believe in giving back to my community and Winterfest is just one way I do so. Winterfest is a wonderful family event that has been a great economic benefit to Greater Fort Lauderdale.” This year’s theme, “Passport to Paradise,” brings a global flare to the parade. From Eiffel Tower masts to Mariachi bands on deck, boaters are encouraged to take you on a trip around the world. “Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is proud to
be a part of the Winterfest Boat Parade for another year,” says Michael Volkert, president of the parade’s lead sponsor, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. “This landmark celebration continues to be a holiday staple, highly anticipated by the community, and made possible through the dedication and creativity of our philanthropic leaders.”
Says John D. Brant, executive vice president at Patriot National Insurance Group (another parade sponsor), “At Patriot, we believe in supporting our community and nothing embodies the best of what South Florida is all about better than Winterfest.” As the seventh largest spectator event in the country, the parade attracts over one million attendees and is televised nationally to millions of homes. With so much hoopla, it might be hard to figure out where to take it all in. Not to worry. This guide will help you find the best vantage points so you don’t miss any of the action. Although the holiday season has already jump started with the exclusive White Party and Family Fun Day, there are still plenty of special events to enjoy. LMGFL.COM | DECEMBER 2013

ew seafood restaurants are as sexy as Mario Spina’s Sunset Catch. Perched above the Marina at the Sands Harbor in east Pompano Beach, the Sunset Catch’s interior Pescatore Dining room and Lounge is decorated with beautiful blue stained glass, sheer curtains hanging from the ceiling and white wall murals that look like ocean waves and sand. The fresh fish displays and live lobster tank together with the panoramas of the waterways gives an overall chic but casual feeling. And if you enjoy dining outside, the Terrazzo overlooking the Intracostal Waterway seats up to 50 persons and
is superb at this time of year! Mario’s Sunset Catch concept is based on his roots from the seaport town of Palermo on Sicily’s Northern coast. A gastronomically rich culture, Palermo is renowned for its fresh fish, locally grown vegetables and herbs, and meats sold daily in the local food markets. Each meal is prepared with a taste of Palermo. Begin with the Burrata, a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. It is velvety with sweet milky flavor, served with sautéed broccoli rabe and garlic. If you love mussels the chef prepares the plump black Mediterranean variety in either a fra diavolo or white wine

garlic sauce. For those who crave spicy, go with the fra diavolo. There are large pieces of tomatoes in the presentation and while zesty it isn’t too fiery. And you’ll be dipping your freshly baked bread into the remaining sauce after you’ve eaten the mussels! If you enjoy ceviche, theirs includes octopus and conch served citrus style with a hint of lemon, cilantro, chopped onions and tomatoes. For entrees, the Branzino (a European Seabass) is butterflied, deboned and served with baby Portobello mushrooms in a port wine reduction. Moist and delectable! I found the most tempting item on the menu to be the golden crab fettuccini. Although this selection is rich, you’ll want to share an order rather than pass it up. The golden crab comes from the deep, cold waters of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Ocean, and is named for the creamy-
beige color of their shell. The meat is sweet and delicate. If you aren’t in a seafood mood when you visit Mario’s Sunset Catch, the menu includes grilled New Zealand Lamb and New York Strip. The truffle oil French fries are crispy and incredible, so ask for those as a side! Leave room for dessert. The limoncello, imported from Italy, is a lemon Fra diavolo whole lobster liqueur served gelato style in a flute glass. It’s sweet and creamy. The homemade Cannoli was my favorite. The crust was light yet crunchy and the filling soft and rich. One is perfect but you will long for another. And if you happen to catch Winterfest Boat Parade fever, Sunset Catch provides the perfect viewing venue. For $99 per person, you can enjoy the passing flotilla Sudnay, Dec. 8, along with a five-course, family style meal. Call for reservations. Q LMGFL.COM | DECEMBER 2013

Higher education is one of the most important investments you can make for a child or grandchild’s future. In fact, studies suggest that a college degree may translate into significantly higher earning power over time. It’s no secret, though, that college is also expensive. How do you balance the high cost of college with other competing demands, such as saving for retirement or paying down debt? A popular and cost effective potential solution is a state-sponsored college savings plan. Commonly known as a 529 plan, it’s named after the section of the Internal Revenue Code that made this type of plan possible. What’s so great about 529 plans? In two words: tax benefits. The money you contribute to a 529 plan can grow free from federal income taxes. That means your investment earnings may compound faster than in a taxable account. What’s more, as long as you use your 529 savings to pay for qualified education expenses, such as tuition, room and board, books, and other necessary equipment and supplies, those withdrawals are also free from federal income tax. Some states even offer residents state income tax benefits on contributions and withdrawals. If you use 529 savings for non-qualified expenses, however, the earnings portion of your withdrawal may be subject to taxes and penalties. Giving You Flexibility With a 529 plan, you can save for higher education costs for just about anyone in your life — your children, grandchildren, other relatives, or even yourself if you decide to go back to school. There are generally no age limits for the account beneficiary and, unlike other tax-deferred investment programs, your ability to contribute is
not phased out at higher income levels. Most important, the money you save in a 529 plan can be used at any eligible college, university or vocational school. What if your child decides to skip college? The money you save in a 529 plan can be transferred to another family member, or even yourself, for higher-education costs although taxes and penalties may apply. Please consult the specific state’s plan document for specifics on transferring a 529 plan. A Winning Combination of Benefits Affording college for a child or grandchild requires careful planning. A 529 plan offers attractive benefits that can make it easier to save. Contact your financial professional to see if a 529 plan is right for your college savings needs.

Everyone in the media industry has heard that newspapers are dying. Pundits have been saying this for years, and while some papers have decreased in size and staffing, they are by no means dead. Television has also seen many changes. Local news stations are usurped by 24-hours networks and on-line media. Radio has changed with the advent of satellite radio. As with every industry, media is evolving. Therefore, marketers and public relations professionals are adapting. This means that blogging must be part of any marketing mix. Search engine optimization is also a critical element. Emailing and tweeting and LinkingIn and using the myriad of social media options are standard. But – traditional media lives, and it still packs a punch. There’s still nothing like being on the front page of the Sun-Sentinel, or getting a two minute segment on Channel 10 – or having your photo appear in this very magazine to get the community buzzing. Traditional media remains a strong, credible and effective communications tool and while it is important to incorporate the new media, it is equally imperative not to leave the old one behind. The press release has long been the staple of communications to the media. It is a well-written document that provides objective and meaningful information that a writer, editor, producer or freelancer can use. To this day, this remains as the best method of disseminating news to the media, who then provide it to their audiences. If you are looking to spread the word on a new product, service, location, hire or development,
find a way to package the news into one or one-and-a-half pages. You’ll need to think it through to use only the most salient element, and to write persuasively so that the writer is compelled to use it. Having your press release used in the paper is kudos to you – and a benefit to the overworked journalists who need to keep their audiences in the know and their editors at bay. Equally effective is the press release that intrigues the writer or producer to do more, to expand on the story, interview the important figures, and research the information in the writing. You may not realize that you are reading a story or article, or watching a news segment that was generated by a simple press release, but every day, you probably are. Television producers need story ideas all the time. Journalists welcome suggestions that are helpful. Editors are grateful to get new concepts that they can assign. Freelancers are eager to find something good to develop into a story – so they can get paid. Yes, social media is big, and maybe the newspapers are dying. But they are still breathing – so remember the traditional media when you need to spread the word.

A COUNTDOWN FOR A SUCCESSFUL MERGER Besides connecting my clients with the home of their dreams, I am passionate about Holistic Living. “Going Green” is no longer a fad, it’s a way of life. Many new construction homes are now being built with green, more sustainable materials. Here are a few things you can do to make sure your home is a healthy, and safe environment for you and your family.

1. Switch to nontoxic cleaning products Or you can simply make your own. A search online will provide recipes that will enable you to make your own cleaning products from such basics as soaps, vinegar, and baking soda. Look for cleaning products that are biodegradable and non-toxic. Use hydrogen peroxide over bleach; it’s less harsh. One of my favorites is a multi-purpose spray I mix up, consisting of equal parts vinegar and water, with a touch of peppermint oil. I use it to clean my counter tops, appliances, tables, etc. It smells great and making this has cut down the amount of money I was spending on cleaning products tremendously. 2. Open your windows once a week Ventilate your house to bring outside air inside as often as possible. The simple act of opening a window can help provided you don’t live on a busy road. Use air circulation to clear the stale air and to discourage the growth of mold. 3. Avoid products that contain synthetic fragrances Eliminate your use of fly sprays, scented aerosols, and other artificial air fresheners. These contain volatile organic chemicals or toxic elements that you can replace with holistic alternatives like potpourri, boiling coffee or orange peels, fresh flowers and herbs. I must admit at one point I was
addicted to plugin air fresheners. It was learning that the air fresheners pose a potential health risk to my family, prompted me to make the switch. According to the FDA, fragrances are responsible for 30 percent of all allergic reactions. 4. Use plants to detox your home There are many benefits to keeping plants inside the home, a few of which being: The control of humidity within the home Indoor detoxification and purification of the air. The reduction of stress levels A reduced reliance of chemical products Research shows that most homes have as much as ten times the pollutants inside than outside. Toxic chemicals are released throughout the day from your furniture, rugs, and plastics, which increase reactions to allergies. Plants absorb many of these pollutants. Here is a list of the top 10 Houseplants to detox your household: Areca Palm The Lady Palm Bamboo Palm Rubber Plant Dracaena Janet Craig English Ivy Dwarf Date Palm Ficus Alii Boston Fern Peace Lily These are small changes you can make in your home, which will have a big payoff to your health for many years to come.

DECEMBER 2013 | LMGFL.COM
THE EVENT Jewish Adoption Foster Care Options (JAFCO) will host its 15th annual gala dedicated to raising funds for abused, neglected and special needs children in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. This year’s event, chaired by Nanci and Stephen Beyer along with Carol and Steven Winig, is a black-tie event featuring a casino, cocktail reception, fine dining, silent auction, 7-piece band, dancing and a heartwarming presentation about JAFCO’s life-saving work. During the gala, JAFCO will present the prestigious Jacob’s Ladder Award for Child Advocacy to: Nel and Jonathan Bloom, Dale and Roger Gandall, and Fran and David Krathen. The Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Ethel and David Sommer. The generosity and commitment of the honorees have enabled JAFCO to provide care and services to children currently under JAFCO’s auspices and have aided more than 4,000 children since the organization’s inception in 1992. All proceeds from this event will benefit JAFCO, a not-for-profit organization licensed by the state of Florida’s Department of Children and Family Services. THE CAUSE
Approximately 4.5 million children in America have been diagnosed with a developmental disability. Of these, autism is the most common affecting one in 88 children born today. Since there has been such an alarming increase in diagnoses, the JAFCO Board of Trustees decided to expand its existing services to better serve all children with special needs and their families. This idea developed into the creation of the JAFCO Respite and Family Resource Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities. The Sam and Adele Borger Campus of The David Posnack Jewish Children’s Center is scheduled to open in early 2014 and will provide day, evening and overnight respite care for up to two weeks per year for children with developmental disabilities allowing parents to have a much-needed break from overwhelming stress of caring for a child with special needs. The center will be the first of its kind in the country – filling a vital unmet need in our community.

Yet all of them demonstrate a commitment to work, attention to duty, and love of community that inspire, educate, heals, and uplifts Broward County in good and bad times. They are making today and tomorrow better than yesterday for all of us. 2013 Honorees: Kathleen Cannon, United Way of Broward County Rosa Marie Cossick, Broward Sheriff’s Office Roni Leiderman, Ph.D Nova Southeastern University Angela T.

More than 4 million babies are born in the United States each year and the March of Dimes helps each and every one of them through research, education, vaccines, and medical breakthroughs. They are hard at work on the next breakthrough – finding a way to effectively prevent premature birth, which affects 500,000 families every year.
