Life is slowly getting back to normal — so here are some fun activities to enjoy in July.

Smiles all around the town.

It’s too easy to get bogged down in the social media loop. Learn how to skip the comparisons and feel good about yourself.

Attorney Martin Zevin offers tips on how to avoid probate on your home.

The symptoms of depression and dementia can often overlap. Dr. Jill Selbach offers a primer on early symptoms for both and what to look out for.

Jim Terlizzi experiences some close encounters of the masked kind.

Mrs Kossenfloffer introduces you to her new sauce obsession. She fires up the grill, loads it with veggies and tops it all with the Italian sweet and sour sauce, agrodolce.

David Ehrenfried suggests which wines to serve with casual grilled and barbequed food.

When you can’t decide where or what to eat, consult our comprehensive dining guide for ideas.

A quick trip to Austin might just be the thing you need. Check out the live music scene and enjoy a stay at the Hotel Van Zandt.

Machu Picchu

and the Golden Empires of Peru WHEN: Opens Saturday, Oct. 16 WHERE: Boca Raton Museum of Art, 501 Plaza Real, Boca Raton Boca Raton (at Mizner Park) COST: Visit bocamuseum.org to register for pre-sale tickets

This fall, South Floridians will discover a culture that thrived in a mythical world thousands of years ago at the exhibit Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru, opening on Oct. 16, 2021. The first stop of a worldwide tour will take place at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. The artifacts in the exhibition are on loan from Museo Larco in Lima, Peru, and Museo de Sitio Manuel Chávez Ballón in Aguas Calientes, Peru. This enchanting museum experience highlights a stunning selection of 192 artifacts from royal tombs, including spectacular objects that belonged to noble Andean lords, many never-before-seen out of Peru. One of the exhibition’s highlights is a fully intact gold attire of a Chimú Emperor that dates to 1300 AD. Rivaled only by Ancient Egypt in longevity and by the Roman Empire in engineering, Andean societies dominated a substantial segment of South America for over 3,000 years straight through the reign of the Incan Empire. Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru will showcase Peruvian culture’s rich histories and traditions. During their visit to the exhibition, guests experience the mysterious city in the sky, built and

abandoned within a century. Then, they will continue on a journey through the vast expanse of Andean history, traveling alongside the mythical hero Ai Apaec, and discovering the mysteries of Andean cosmology. “Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru

showcases the extraordinary and rich history of ancient Peru. It brings to life the various cultures that have lived in the land of the Incas and Machu Picchu over an astounding 3,000 years,” stated President of Museo Larco, Andres Alvarez-Calderon. Due to the current global pandemic, the need for social distancing, and other measures to prevent the coronavirus spread, the number of visitors allowed to visit Machu Picchu yearly has dipped to 250,000. This exhibition expands the ability to experience Machu Picchu to the world. Here, the first-ever virtual reality experience of Machu Picchu will be unveiled, allowing guests a window into the unrivaled beauty and flourishing landscape.

Skip the Comparisons BY CRAIG HALEY I FIRST HEARD THIS QUOTE WHEN I WENT TO THE GROWTH SUMMIT IN 2018 WITH MY GOOD FRIEND, MARK MOORE. RACHEL HOLLIS WAS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS. HOLLIS IS A best-selling author, and one of her books entitled "Girl, Stop Apologizing" has sold over 1.5 million copies. Hollis talked heavily about how comparing yourself to others can be detrimental to your success. She said, "Comparison is the killer of joy." She is so right. Most people focus on what they don't have. Social media posts of new homes, elaborate weddings, luxurious vacations and often makes us feel as though we are coming up short. I have heard people say that scrolling Facebook or Instagram can make them feel discouraged because they immediately think about what they don't have.

My wife Melissa and I attend The Cross Church in Deerfield Beach. The other day, Pastor Tommy Boland, told us there are two kinds of pride. Positive pride is feeling great about your family, your achievements and the life you have built. The sin of pride is comparing yourself to others. He said constant comparisons could lead you down a dark road of depression and sadness. Social media is a highlight reel of people's lives. No one is living the perfect life free from frustrations and challenges. Do people post about their problems? Of course not! They show all the great things! They highlight their fantastic

business, a new house, luxury car or a loving relationship. Logically, the lives of our friends and acquaintances should not influence our self-esteem. Emotionally, it can be tricky to block it out. How can we live our best life and stop comparing ourselves to others? Here are a few ideas.

Focus on what you do have! Ask yourself, "What do I love about my life? What am I most proud of? What am I grateful for?" Asking the right questions will get you to focus on all the blessings, victories, and achievements that you already have. When see progress in our lives, we feel happier and more joyful. Focus on the areas of your life that are moving in the right direction. Cut back on social media. I read that you can spend your time living your life or waste your time observing other people's lives. Social media enables us to stay in touch with friends and family. However, if you feel sad or depressed when scrolling because you compare your life to someone else's, cut back immediately. Hollis told the crowd in Arizona that she limits her posts on social media. She does not scroll to see what others are up to. When she did, she would naturally start comparing herself to others, and that led to intense anxiety. So she stopped. And for the record, she has over 1.6 million followers on Instagram. Journal your feelings I don't believe that ignoring specific recurring thoughts will make them go away. That may work for some people, and if it does, good for you. Writing down how I feel and the circumstance around my feelings helps me clarify my emotional state and helps me proactively deal with those emotions. Sometimes just putting the feelings on paper can feel like a weight has been lifted. Try it! I hope it works for you.

Legal Matters

Avoid Probate on Your Home BY MARTIN ZEVIN, ATTORNEY

THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO AVOID PROBATE ON YOUR HOME WHEN YOU DIE. IF YOU ARE SINGLE, THERE WILL BE PROBATE WHEN YOU DIE UNLESS YOU CHOOSE ONE OF THE following options. If you are married and own your home together, your surviving spouse will not have probate; however, there will be probate when the second of you pass away unless you complete one of the following options. Let us assume you own your home jointly with your spouse, and you have two children. Both of you desire to have your two children inherit your home equally when you both pass away. The first option would be to add the names of your two children to the deed as joint tenants with right of survivorship. This is not a good idea. It would affect your ability to claim your full homestead exemption. In addition, you lose control of your property and can only sell it if your children both agree and sign all closing documents. If you wanted to take one of the children off the deed, you would be unable to do so. If one of your children files for bankruptcy, has an adverse judgment or files for divorce, your property could be subject to liens or other legal action. Therefore, I recommend against a deed with your children as joint tenants with right of survivorship. The second option is a life estate deed. There are two types of life estate deed: regular and enhanced (also referred to as Lady Bird). The regular life estate deed requires that your children join in any sale or other changes on the deed; therefore, you have lost control and cannot take your child's name off the deed if you choose to do so. The enhanced life estate deed gives you the sole right to sell the property during your lifetime or make any other changes to the deed without the permission of your child. The enhanced life estate deed has specific legal language in order to be effective; therefore, do not attempt to do this on your own. Even with the enhanced life estate deed, there are risks, particularly if your child has a bankruptcy, outstanding judgment or undergoes divorce. The worst risk, however, is if, God forbid, your child dies before you or with you in a common accident. Your child's estate would then become the owner of the property once

POINT! PUBLISHING

you died, which would result in probate being required. Thus, the main purpose of the life estate deed is not accomplished. The best way to avoid probate on your home is to do a revocable living trust. When you sign the revocable living trust agreement, you also sign a deed transferring the property to you as trustees of your trust. You can keep your homestead exemption, maintain complete control of the property during your

lifetime and make amendments to your trust without changing the deed. There are no risks involved since your children's names do not appear on the deed. The only disadvantage of the revocable living trust is that it will cost more money in attorney's fees. When you discuss the options with your attorney, you should discuss the difference in fees between the revocable living trust and the enhanced life estate deed. You can then determine whether it is worth saving the money and taking the risks involved in the Enhanced Life Estate Deed.

Depression or Dementia BY DR. JILL SELBACH EARLY ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND DEPRESSION SHARE SOME SYMPTOMS MAKING IT HARD TO DISTINGUISH ONE from the other, even for doctors. Plus, many people with Alzheimer's disease also are depressed. Most everyone has had a bad day or two where you feel down, like not doing much of anything or interacting with other people. This is a typical thing that happens to people, and then they bounce right back to their old selves. It becomes a problem when one day turns into several days, weeks or longer. This is when depression could be the culprit. As we age, symptoms emerge. One symptom can be indicative of many different issues. Therefore, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis. It can be difficult to determine clinical depression from early dementia. It is estimated that 19 million Americans suffer from depression every year. Depression is one of the most common psychological issues. In the United States least 8% of adults experience serious depression at some point during their lives. Some estimates are as high as 17%. Women are two to three times more likely than men to suffer from depression. However, it affects people regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic standing. There are different types of depression. In this article, I am referring to major depression. Depression is a serious illness. Some people experience extreme emotional pain and hopelessness. These emotions can lead to thoughts of suicide as a means to end suffering. As many as 15% of depressed people eventually commit suicide, and many more attempt it. The symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but here is a list of several common symptoms that impact functioning: • Sadness • Tearfulness • Low energy • Fatigue • Irritability • Hopelessness

Medical Issues as Causes of Depression Many medical issues can lead to depression. Some are dietary deficiencies in vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid. Degenerative neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, strokes in the brain's frontal part, and certain viral infections, such as hepatitis and mononucleosis, can also cause depression. Medications such as steroids have been known to cause depression.

Get Psyched <<< are probably related in ways we don't understand." He states that 40% to 50% of people with Alzheimer's disease get depression, but depression also may be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. It is unclear the exact relationship between Alzheimer's disease and depression. The biological changes caused by Alzheimer's may intensify a predisposition to depression, and depression may increase the chances of developing Alzheimer's disease. What we do know is that depression has a major impact on the quality of life for people with Alzheimer's disease. Depression can lead to: • A more rapid cognitive decline • Inability to perform activities of daily living • A greater need for reliance on caregivers Experts estimate that up to 40% of people with Alzheimer's disease suffer from significant depression.

Symptoms of Early Alzheimer's Disease • Memory issues that impact daily life (forgetting important dates, asking for the same information over and over) • Challenges in planning, organizing or solving problems. • Difficulty completing familiar tasks (driving to familiar places, finances, rules of a game) • Confusion with time or place • Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships • New problems with words in speaking or writing • Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps • Decreased or poor judgment • Withdrawal from work or social activities • Changes in mood and personality Similar symptoms Some of the symptoms common to both Alzheimer's and depression include: • Loss of interest in once enjoyable activities and hobbies • Social withdrawal • Memory problems • Sleeping too much or too little • Impaired concentration As with most health conditions, early detection and proper diagnosis is key to proper treatment. Family involvement is also very helpful in the treatment of both issues. If you or someone you love is exhibiting these symptoms, be sure to speak to a mental health professional who can properly diagnose and guide treatment.

Tidbits & Trivia

Close Encounters of the Masked Kind BY JAMES TERLIZZI

WITH THE WORST OF COVID-19 APPARENTLY BEHIND US, IT SEEMS WE HAVE ENTERED COVID PURGATORY. LET ME EXPLAIN: The moment that Publix put up a sign stating that vaccinated persons no longer needed to wear a mask in the store, I whipped off my N95 and entered. To my chagrin, everyone in sight was wearing a mask. I made it as far as the frozen food section before I was stopped by a weird-looking guy wearing a Lone Ranger mask which covered just his eyes. "Hey buddy," he said, "where's your mask?" Figuring he was as nutty as a squirrel’s larder, I replied: “This is the latest version. It’s invisible.” He thought for a moment, then asked: “Where can I get one?” "Go online at Masks-R -Us. They're cheap and you get free shipping."

He said “thank you” and skipped down the aisle. I dropped my White Castle burgers into my cart (which I previously had fumigated with my portable steam cleaner purchased from Steam Cleaners-R-Us) and headed for the fresh vegetable section.

I got as far as the zucchini when I was confronted by a little old man wearing three masks. (I'm old, so calling him old gives you some idea of how ancient he was.) “Where’s your mask, sonny? You wanna get the virus?” he asked. "I have the virus. Just caught it yesterday, so no point in wearing a mask," I replied. His look of horror was palpable. The wheels of his cart burned rubber as he raced down the aisle fueled by adrenalin. I was having fun with this until I reached paper products. Glaring at me was a huge man whose muscles had muscles. “Yo," he intoned ala Sylvester Stallone, “Put on your mask.” "Sir," I explained, "the sign outside says I don't need a mask if I have been vaccinated.” “I don’t care about no sign. Put on a mask, or your next ride is gonna be in an ambulance.” Not one to be intimidated but reluctant to cause a scene, I whipped off my t-shirt, wrapped it around my face and backed down the aisle. "Heck," I thought, “ I still have a half roll of toilet paper at home. Not worth getting killed for.” As I was touring condiments, two teenagers blocked my path. In unison, they asked: "Where's your mask, mister?" “I’m wearing one.” "That's not a mask. That's a t-shirt.” I was about to say “mind your own business” when the Sylvester Stallone guy came around the corner and told the kids he was ready to leave. Saved by the bell. It was at the dairy section that I finally found a maskless shopper. She was a pretty young woman with a tattoo on her arm that read: “Masks Are For Sissies." She also was wearing a t-shirt that said: “Make America Maskless Again.” I was impressed by her courage, so I took her to lunch. Turns out she was an insurance saleswoman. After two hours of listening to her spiel, I would have welcomed a trip to the hospital. Where is the Stallone guy when you need him? Y

Driven by Condiments BY MRS. KOSSENFLOFFER

I’ve been known to order a burger and fries simply because I am in the mood for ketchup. Condiments can make or break a meal. Enter agrodolce — a sweet and sour Italian sauce. Once you’ve tried it, you might want to slather agrodolce over anything and everything. Fire up your grill and load it with your favorite veggies. For a little more heft, top it with a luxurious ball of burrata. For meat lovers, grill a few hot Italian sausages. Serve the whole thing with agrodolce. The pungent sweetness of this sauce is a perfect complement to the spicy sausages, the smoky grilled veggies and of course, the creamy cheese. >>>

Creatively Cooking <<<

For the Agrodolce Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup olive oil 1 red onion, finely chopped (about 12 ounces — fancy people can use shallots) 3/4 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup water 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 ounces raisins, chopped (2 little boxes) 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional) 1 bay leaf

For the Veggies and Sausages

These are merely suggestions. Grill what you love. Items below will serve about 4-6 people.

INGREDIENTS

1 eggplant, sliced 1/2-inch thick 1-2 zucchini or summer squash, sliced diagonally, 1/2-inch thick 1 bunch of asparagus, woody bottoms trimmed 1-2 bell peppers, cut into 4 pieces (it's easier to grill big pieces) 2 ears of corn, cut into 2 or 3 pieces 1 pint grape tomatoes 1 ball of burrata 4 spicy Italian sausages Fresh parsley, mint or basil

PREPARATION Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onions and saute until turning brown, about 10-15 minutes, maybe longer. Remove the pan from the heat and add the wine, vinegar, water, sugar, raisins, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using) and the bay leaf. Place the pan back over the heat and bring to a low simmer. As the mixture cooks, stir it occasionally. The onions and raisins will become very soft, and the whole mixture should be thick and syrupy. This process should take 40 to 45 minutes. If it is getting too thick before the onions are soft, add a little water (about 1/2 cup) to thin it out as it cooks. To make the vegetables and sausage, heat the grill and oil the grill grates. If you have a grill basket, it works great for the asparagus and the tomatoes. Keep an eye on the veggies as they will cook at different rates. You want them to be charred but not burnt to a crisp. So remove them as they cook. Grill the sausages until they are cooked through. A meat thermometer is a great tool to take the guess work out. Arrange the grilled veggies and sausage on a platter. Top with the burrata and leafy herbs like basil, parsley or mint. Serve with the agrodolce sauce on the side.Y

Wine ABCs for BBQ BY DAVID EHRENFRIED

THIS WILL BE A COLUMN ABOUT WINES TO ENJOY WITH BARBEQUED AND GRILLED FOOD — OR WHATEVER YOU'VE LEARNED TO CALL IT. I LOVE IT ALL AND BELIEVE THAT FOOD cooked outdoors is often so special and delicious that it both deserves and benefits from good wine. Sadly, the wine served with outdoor cooking sometimes doesn’t measure up to the unique smoked, charred, and other suffused flavors of food cooked over burning coals. Perhaps that’s because cooking outdoors is usually so casual. Fussing over wine may seem snobbish or pretentious. But I say fuss away — at least a little. You won't regret it. I’ll get into the details, but while I have the pen, let me first share some personal frustration with outdoor cooking terms.

Grilling or Barbeque? I know technically there’s a difference between grilling and barbeque. Barbeque (or BBQ) is when food (typically beef or pork) is cooked slowly (usually on a metal grill), over burning wood or charcoal, directly or indirectly, with the lid closed but vented. Barbeque takes hours, so the meat becomes deliciously smoky, tender and flavorful. Grilling is cooking (occasionally burning) food (any food: meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables, etc.) on a grill over burning charcoal or a gas flame. The temperature is much hotter than for traditional barbeque, so the food cooks much faster. The lid might be left open or shut for more reasons than there are sound explanations. Some of the best steak and lamb chops I’ve ever eaten were prepared over a large open circular pit at the Grey Moss Inn, an old restaurant in the hilly San Antonio, TX, countryside. This distinction between barbeque and grilling may always have been clear to you. But not to me. I grew up in Southern California, and 50 years later, the terms are still a muddle to me. My parents had a charcoal grill at home that we called a barbeque. Everyone I knew had one, although gradually, some switched to grills that used propane gas. They were all called barbeques. And, when we grilled or cooked anything on them, we said it was barbequed — regardless of whether the top was closed or not, how long it cooked, or how smoky it was. My father eventually got a new barbeque with a rotisserie attachment. It made to-die-for “roast” chicken, beef and lamb. Using the rotisserie was obviously not grilling, but we still called 52 pointpubs.com •

it barbequing. It was all BBQ. At some point, my parents redid the kitchen, installing a Jennair grill next to the burners. That was grilling, and definitely not BBQ! That much was clear. Then I went east for college and graduate school, where classmates from the Carolinas, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas lectured me about what was really BBQ and what was grilling. When the weather got warmer, there were what some of my new friends called “cookouts.” I still called them BBQs, even though all the hamburgers and hotdogs were grilled. To me, cookouts were what one did with friends over a campfire. In the end, it didn’t matter what it was called. I relished outdoor cooking — and still do. At cookouts in college, we drank beer mostly. It was the 1960s, I was young and thought I knew nearly everything there was to know about anything, and it never occurred to me that wine might be just as good or better. Beer, though, came in cans and

small bottles — and sometimes kegs. Wine came mainly in 750 milliliter bottles, and drinking wine directly from such bottles or from paper or Styrofoam cups was stupid. The wine we had wasn’t very good anyway. This all changed when I was in graduate school. There was a cozy French restaurant, Le Cochon Rouge (The Red Pig), in Ithaca, NY, where I had a really good bottle of French Burgundy wine for the first time. I ordered steak au poivre and thought the same kind of red wine might also be great with a thick juicy >>>

Try the Wine <<< steak cooked on the small Weber grill that came with the house I was living in. It was indeed, and that introduced me to the possibilities of drinking good wine with outdoor cooking. Grace Your Outdoor Cooking with Fine Wine It’s understandable that many people think fine wine is best served with elegant or elaborate indoor cooking. But food that’s cooked outdoors can be so tasty and enjoyable that it merits delicious wine. Go with a favorite, or try something different. Here are some wine suggestions for a variety of grilled or barbequed foods from steak to fruit. Bear in mind that lighter foods generally match up best with dry white, red, or rosé wines that are more lightweight (have lower alcohol content, that is ABV under 12.5%) and lighter flavors. Heavier foods with more fat or protein or bolder flavors will generally pair better with heavier (more alcoholic), more robust red and white wines with bold, pronounced flavors and aromas. Hot or very spiced foods tend to go better with wines that are a little sweet but still have bright, refreshing acidity. These qualities tend to offset the spicy heat, saltiness, and oils or fats in such foods. GRILLED BEEF STEAKS, VEAL OR LAMB CHOPS: These are perfect for serving robust, full-bodied, red wines, such as: Napa Valley cabernet cauvignon; French Bordeaux, rhone, or bandol; Spanish ribera del duero, toro, or priorat; Australian shiraz or California syrah; Italian barolo, barbaresco, super Tuscan, or brunello di montalcino; Argentinian malbec; Greek xinomavro;

or a dry red touriga nacional blend from Portugal’s Douro Valley. The sometimes gritty, mouth-coating tannins in these wines are absorbed by animal fats, making other characteristic stand out, like bold dark fruit flavors combined with the influences of significant aging in oak barrels stand out. If you’re eating outdoors when it’s hot, chill the wine moderately in the fridge or on ice before serving. It will warm up quickly enough in the glass. Beware, these wines can start to taste hot and alcoholic if they get too warm. Also, consider serving a top-notch French Burgundy or California or Oregon pinot noir if you prefer a lighter red. GRILLED CHICKEN: The wines that pair well with grilled or barbequed chicken depend on how it’s seasoned, marinated, or sauced. Lightly seasoned, quickly grilled skinless chicken breast,

for example, goes nicely with chilled lighter white wines, such as sauvignon blanc, dry steely chardonnay like chablis, French or South African chenin blanc, Alsatian or Oregon pinot gris, or Italian pinot grigio, vermentino, or roero arneis. Another good pairing is rosé. For more pronouncedly seasoned, longer cooked chicken, think of serving bolder, oaked styles of chardonnay from Burgundy or California, Italian soave, viognier from the French rhone or California. Medium-bodied reds also can go nicely with more seasoned chicken. Consider pinot noir, California zinfandel, Spanish rioja and monastrell, Italian barbera d'alba, Tuscan blends, Australian shiraz, California syrah, and medium-bodied French rhone wines like cotes du rhone and croze-hermitage. Also, try Merlot blends, such as those from Washington State or StÉmilion in the Bordeaux. GRILLED FISH: The lighter and more delicate the fish, the lighter the wine. The meatier, richer, and more heavily seasoned the fish, the heavier the wine. For lighter fare, like halibut or cod, think steely chablis and crisp and citrusy sancerre or other sauvignon blanc, Portuguese alvarinho, Greek assyrtiko, chenin blanc, vermentino, or pinot grigio, or Austrian grüner veltliner. Sparkling wines like prosecco and cava also match up. For firmer, oilier fish like salmon, tuna, grouper, bass, pompano, or snapper, these same wines can work, or serve richer styles of chardonnay, or French blends made with semillion or roussane. Pinot noir and lighter reds like beaujolais and dolcetta d'alba can also pair deliciously with grilled salmon and steelhead trout. KABOBS AND SAUSAGES: Skewered meat, poultry, or fish, including shrimp or scallops, go with many kinds of wines depending on the seasonings or marinades applied and the vegetables. It’s hard to wrong with medium-bodied whites or reds that have good acidity and lots of fruit. Chardonnay, soave, riesling, and arinto blends from Portugal can be terrific matches. I also suggest California zinfandel, and lively reds from Mediterranean countries such as Spanish rioja and bierzo, Italian nero d'avola, or Greek agiorgitiko. For Italian or other aromatically spiced sausages, Italian montepulciano is a classic match-up. TRADITIONAL BARBEQUE: Whether it's brisket, ribs, pork butt, or half a chicken, my recommended beverages, besides beer, are whites like bold chardonnay, viognier and riesling. For red, my choices are zinfandel and South African pinotage. Riesling is the perfect companion for dishes prepared with very spicy rubs or sweet sauces. GRILLED VEGETABLES AND FRUITS: If your meal consists primarily of grilled vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant, onions, peppers or asparagus, consider crisp, refreshing wines like sancerre or other sauvignon blanc wines from New Zealand, Chile or California. Other comparable wines include Spanish albariño, pinot gris, and Italian friuli. I find the fresh, concentrated sweetness of grilled peaches amazing as a side to grilled chicken or fish. But if I were eating them alone, perhaps with some vanilla ice cream, I’d pair them with moscato, riesling, Port, or sauternes, or I'd just finish whatever wine we had before. Let us know what wines you’ve tried lately, and with what kinds of food.Y

FORMULA ONE TO HOST MIAMI GRAND PRIX

BY SAM ROSSER

JULY 2021 • pointpubs.com

t might come as a surprise to those who commute on I-95, but the fastest cars in the world aren’t in Miami — yet. Formula One (F1), the most expensive traveling circus in the world, has come to an agreement with the local government to add Miami to its hectic globetrotting schedule. F1 announced that the Miami Grand Prix will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens with a 10-year deal set to begin in 2022. The exact date of the race is yet to be decided, but F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said he expects the first of the ten guaranteed races to be held sometime in the second quarter of 2022 (April-June).

Miami will be the 11th venue in the United States to host a Grand Prix since the championship began in 1950 and will be the first time since 1959 in Sebring that F1 has come to the Sunshine State. The other past U.S. locations include Indianapolis, Riverside, Watkins Glen, Long Beach, Las Vegas, Detroit, Dallas, Phoenix and the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, which is still on the F1 schedule. The track will run 3.36 miles around the Hard Rock Stadium with 19 corners and three straights, and opportunities for DRS (drag-reduction system). In addition, the circuit designers hoped to create an environment for competitive racing — meaning that overtaking will be abundant, ensuring a Sunday spectacle for fans.

According to event organizers, the race will bring 4,000 jobs, 35,000 local hotel bookings and an estimated $400 million positive economic impact to South Florida. In addition to the natural economic footprint that F1 brings, in its wake, F1 has pledged $5 million in community benefit programs to the City of Miami Gardens, along with paid internships for college and high school students. Moreover, F1 has promised that minority-owned restaurants will provide food during the event weekend. Also, racing will be held after school hours so that any school bus drivers don't get confused and end up racing the fastest cars in the world.

How to Go

Although the Miami Grand Prix hasn’t been officially scheduled, you can expect it to take place some time between April and June of 2022. There are several different packages and ticket options available for Grand Prix weekends, but not until they actually set the schedule for 2022.

F1 Glossary Aerodynamics/ Aero-Package How the air flows around the car/ object. Apex The point at which the racing line and corner meet; theoretically, “making the apex” leads to the fastest route around a corner. Aquaplaning Under wet enough conditions, the wheels cannot get enough grip on the pavement, causing the car to slide across the surface. Ballast Small metal plates are aligned within the vehicle to both properly balance it for the particular track and to bring it up to the minimum weight requirement of 605kg. Bargeboard Bodywork just behind the front wheels designed to smooth the flow of air being disrupted by the tire. Blistering When parts of a tire soften and break away, causing impaired handling. Bottoming When the bottom of the car scrapes against the track, causing a shower of sparks.

Brake Balance the distribution of braking power between the front and rear. This can be altered by the driver at any point and is often altered multiple times during a lap at some circuits. Brake Locking When the tires stop rotating under heavy braking, causing a flat spot on the tire. Camber The angle of the tires in relation to the track. Chassis The main bodywork of the car. Chicane Sharp corners in quick succession that alternate directions. Clean Air When a driver has nobody in front of them, no car is disturbing the airflow in front of them, allowing their car’s aerodynamics to operate under ideal conditions. Cockpit Where the driver sits. Compound The formula used to create the tire.

Differential/ “Diff” The device connected to the rear wheels that allows them to spin at different rates during cornering, which improves handling. Diffuser Bodywork on the back of the car designed to funnel air quickly out of the back, which generates downforce. Dirty Air The air behind a car; the disturbed air negatively affects the aerodynamics of the car behind. Downforce The aerodynamic force pushing the car into the ground, giving the car better traction and handling. Drag The amount of force imparted by the air as the car moves. Drive-through penalty A penalty that can be handed down to a driver by the stewards during a race. The driver must drive through the pit lane (where there is a speed limit) without stopping. ECU Electronic Control Unit, or the nervous system of the engine that tells it what to do.

Flat Spot When the driver locks their brakes, the rotation of the tires stops, causing rubber to wear down on one spot. This will vibrate the car, impairing performance. Formation Lap Drivers complete one full lap from their starting grid position immediately before the race starts. Graining Tiny pieces of rubber break off the tires during use and stick onto other parts of the tire, creating an uneven surface and reducing grip. Gurney Flap Mounted perpendicularly to the wing, this tiny piece of bodywork helps impart downforce. Green When the track doesn’t have a lot of rubber on it, which gives the cars less grip and produces slower lap times. HANS Head and Neck Support System; a black collar that attaches to the driver’s helmet and reduces head movement during a crash.

Formula One Primer

For some reason, humans have cared who is the fastest since the ancient Greeks started the Olympics, and probably long before it occurred to the Greeks to write the winners down in the annals of history. So, naturally, people have been racing cars since they've existed. Out of the lively European racing culture that began to take hold after World War I, F1 was born. The specifics of a championship couldn't be agreed upon until 1950, after the turmoil and tragedy of World War II.

The Rules

A lot has changed since the sport's inception all those years ago. The rules and regulations are an ever-changing document designed to inspire fair, safe and exciting races at the highest level possible. For a relatively intuitive sport, whoever goes the fastest wins; it can get a bit confusing. So, here are all of the rules, regulations, words, and everything else you need to get up to speed with the fastest cars on the planet.

Installation Lap The first lap at a circuit, to test basic car functions like brakes and steer. In-Lap A lap in which a driver goes into the pits. KERS Kinetic Energy Recovery System; it recovers energy during heavy braking and deceleration and allows the driver to tap into that energy as a power boost. Loose When the car lacks grip, especially on the rear tires. Lollipop The long stick the pit crew holds in front of the driver during pit stops that signals when he is clear to leave his pit box. Marshal A track official, typically a volunteer. Marbles Pieces of rubber that come off the tires over the course of a session, making the track conditions worse off the racing line. Monocoque The carbon fibre safety shell that cradles the driver. Out-Lap A lap in which the driver exits the pit lane.

Oversteer When the car steers more than the driver wanted; the rear wheels begin to overtake the front as they lose grip. Paddock The private area behind the pits where the teams keep their motorhomes. Parc Ferme A restricted area where cars are kept after qualifying and the race. No work can be done to the cars, and no team members are allowed access unless supervised. Pit Board A board used to give the driver basic information. Pit Wall Where the team engineers are receiving information and passing it to the driver. Pits The area of the circuit where the garages are. Plank A piece of composite material affixed to the bottom of the cars to make sure they aren’t riding too low by assessing the wear on it.

Now, we aren't going to go over all of the regulations that govern Formula 1, obviously. But, there are some basics that everyone who tunes in to a Grand Prix weekend should know. A Grand Prix weekend is split into three days; Friday, which includes two practice sessions where the teams determine the best way to configure their car. Saturday has a practice session and a qualifying session. It's all about Sunday, though, because that's when the race is. Qualifying is split into three sessions. The first two sessions eliminate the five slowest drivers after the allotted time is over. So, the third session only includes the ten fastest drivers. The starting position is determined by the fastest lap the driver completes in qualifying. To signal the start of the race, five columns of red lights are lit up at one second intervals, and once all the lights are lit up, they are extinguished without warning, signaling that the drivers are free to race.

Pole Position The driver who earns first position on the grid by going fastest in qualifying. Originating from horse racing, where the number one horse would start on the inside of the track, next to the pole. Qualifying A series of three knock-out sessions where drivers try to set the fastest lap to determine grid position. Retirement When a car can’t finish a session due to a mechanical failure or a crash. Ride-Height How far above the ground the car is. Often spoken of during conversations about fuel usage and tire wear. Rubbered In When rubber has been imparted into the track, giving the cars more grip, allowing them to set quicker lap times.

All races, except for the Monaco Grand Prix, must be the smallest number of laps that exceed 305 kilometers. A panel of stewards watch all F1 races and hand out penalties for breaking the rules like speeding in the pit lane or corner-cutting. There are several flags that marshals will wave throughout a race that mean different things. The most common flags are yellow, red, green, and blue which signal caution, session stop, normal conditions, and for a slower car to let a faster car pass, respectively. At the end of the race, points are awarded to the top ten finishers. First place receives 25 points, second, 18, third, 15, fourth, 12, fifth, 10,

sixth, 8, seventh, 6, eighth, 4, ninth 2, and, finally, tenth place receives 1 point. The points mentioned above are added to the driver's World Drivers' Championship tally and the team's Constructors Championship tally. A driver can switch teams mid-season and retain their points from the previous team in the World Drivers' Championship, but their points remain with the previous team in the Constructors Championship.

Fun House BY RICHARD ROSSER

PHOTOS BY RICHARD ROSSER AND COURTESY OF DR. SUSAN RODELL

For the last 15 years, many Lighthouse Point residents and visitors have surely

noticed the colorful art and paint scheme on the home on Sample Road, near the

bridge as one nears Frank McDonough Park traveling eastbound. The whimsical and colorful horse sculptures signal what lies inside the house.

JULY 2021 • pointpubs.com

s of the deadline for this story, Dr. Susan Rodell, the owner and curator of one very artistic house, has the property listed for sale and, therefore, agreed to allow me to photograph and tell a bit about the house and her inspirations. Dr. Rodell was not interviewed for this story, nor did I ask. Years ago, I learned that she is an active health care professional specializing in gerontology and hospice work. Most of us can appreciate the toll that work could have on one's outlook on everyday life. It makes complete sense that her home would be her "happy place" — her place to recharge after facing disease, despair and death on any given workday. Local realtor Linda White showed the house to me. She told me the kitchen design was inspired by dishes that Rodell bought during a trip to the south of France. The plates adorn a wall in the kitchen area like typical art or souvenirs from travel — but Dr. Rodell hired an artist to paint the entire kitchen based on the style from the plates — effectively immersing herself in the art and beauty of her travels every day. Each room is like this, and the stories attached to each space and design choice could fill a book; but I would be remiss not to mention the turtle room, for live turtles and the garage floor made of purple glitter. Dr. Rodell is seeking to downsize and simplify her life a little as she transitions herself to the next chapter in her life. Mrs. White told me that most potential buyers state they would keep the house mainly as it is and not significantly renovate it. Obviously, the actual buyer may do something very different.

You can’t go wrong with the fresh fish sandwich—ask what the catch of the day is. All sandwiches come with a side and, while French fries are always a delicious option, the restaurant offers a tangy cucumber salad (among other choices) that provides a nice crunch to any sandwich.

Check out the special board for a variety of locally caught fish with everything from grouper to snapper to wahoo among others. Plenty of land-lubber options are also available including filet mignon. For island comfort food, don’t miss one of their curries or rotis. Fresh oysters and clams are also available. Wash it all down with a draft beer, a glass of wine or choose from over 40 different bottled beers. So, if you are in search of high-quality ingredients, inventive cooking and a very welcoming staff, head over to Calypso. 460 S. Cypress Road, 954-942-1633 $$

Also, call ahead to see what they are serving. 1386 S.Federal Highway, 954-998-3642 $$$-$$$$ Checkers Old Munchen. GERMAN For a traditional German meal, try the wiener schnitzel — it’s divine — a lightly breaded veal cutlet sautéed in lemon butter and topped with homemade brown gravy. The spaetzle (German noodles) are a real homemade treat and not to be missed — throw a little of that brown gravy on them and they could be a meal unto themselves. And the next time we get a hankering for some schnitzel, we know where to go. Imbibe to your hearts content with their wide assortment of German beers. 2209 E.

The gyoza was also a star — the dough was light and tender with a flavorful pork and vegetable filling.

And for the little ones there is kids night on Sunday: kids eat for 99 cents from the $4.99 kids menu. 1015 S. Federal Highway, 954708-2775 $$ Whales’ Rib. SEAFOOD Locals know it well and tourists know

it from “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.” Whatever you do, don’t skip the whale fries. 2031 NE Second St., 954-421-8880 $$

The Chicken Box & More. • SOUTHERN This small spot with

just a couple of tables serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and does a robust take-out business. The shrimp and grits with scrambled eggs are a top-notch breakfast or a perfect “breakfast-for-dinner” option. The fried pork chops were delicately coated and crispy. We tried them with a classic potato salad and collard greens. The greens were stellar — they were juicy and perfectly seasoned with bits of pork supplying a pleasing heft. And who doesn’t love a marvelous fried chicken wing? If you are searching for a solidly authentic taste of comfort, the meatloaf is a must. 204 N Flagler Avenue, 954-781-7400

The Poké Company. • POKÉ If you haven’t tried a poke bowl, now is your big chance. Build your own bowl by choosing a base of rice or greens, then add a protein such as ahi tuna or steamed shrimp, then go to town with the mix-ins and sauces. Then top your bowl with everything from pickled ginger to tempura flakes. There are an infinite amount of choices. If bowls aren’t your thing, you can build your own poké burrito. 1154 N.

Musical Austin

HOTEL VAN ZANDT Austin has a reputation for being a pretty hippening city, and the Hotel Van Zandt marries right into that vibe. The atmosphere is easy-breezy yet sophisticated — exactly what you would expect from a boutique hotel in a city known for live musical performances. In fact, the property is named for country music singersongwriter Townes Van Zandt The decor also gives a nod to Austin's music scene with chandeliers made of horns and an old victrola display with colorful birds made of

vinyl that seem to be flying to the music. The laid-back theme is carried throughout the hotel, including at the pool deck and the worn and homey leather couches — a great place to relax with friends. The restaurant has several dining options, including Geraldine's, for a more elegant and inspired take on Tex-Mex or the more casual Cafe 605. Y Hotel Van Zandt, 605 Davis Street, Austin, Texas
