ith a wonderful husband, and two sons quickly becoming adults before my eyes, the Men’s Issue is always close to my heart.

I can relate to this month’s cover subject, music mogul Emilio Estefan, a family man who values home and community. In this issue, he discusses fleeing Cuba, his love of South Florida, and being a grandpa in “Having it All” (page 56).

Also in this issue are icons of a different sort: Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward spoke at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton recently, and The Boca Raton Observer was there to get the story. Read about them in “Get the Scoop” (page 62). And speaking of journalism, we also feature four of South Florida’s top sports columnists who talk about the scene’s past, present and future (page 80).

And just in time for summer, we also introduce you to Florida International University Professor Stephen Leatherman, aka Dr. Beach, whose annual Top 10 Beaches list carries heavy weight in the world of travel and tourism. Why is his list so important?

Find out in “Shore of Himself” (page 74). Finally, anyone who appreciates unique cars, bikes and more will want to check out “Planes, Trains and Automobiles? Meh.” (page 66), a feature filled with boy toys and other exotic modes of transportation.

As The Boca Raton Observer continues to celebrate our 10th Anniversary year I am pleased to share that our average circulation has grown to an incredible 40,000 copies!

We thank our readers for helping us achieve this milestone—no other local lifestyle magazine even comes close. Our publication continues to be the only Boca Raton lifestyle magazine to have its circulation verified by the prestigious Alliance for Audited Media (AAM), the new Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC).

Although this month is all about the guys, we also want to give a shout out to all the wonderful moms out there and wish you a Happy Mother’s Day, which takes place on May 11. Enjoy spending your special day in a fabulous way with your families and loved ones—I know I will! Enjoy the rest of spring in Boca and remember to always stop and smell the roses.

nyone catch the Miami Heat’s amazing touchdown during last season’s World Series?

That display of (lack of) knowledge pretty much sums up my sports acumen (unlike the four South Florida sports columnists we interviewed for this month’s Men’s Issue).

Like many of my female friends, I’m missing the gene that gets one excited about sports. I don’t follow our local teams’ wins and losses, and don’t embrace—or denigrate—players as though I know them personally.

I don’t mean to generalize. A lot of women enjoy sports. My publisher, for example, is a devoted Miami Heat fan. (Though she does have two sons… Coincidence?)

But typically, guys are the ones donning the face paint, shouting at TV screens and participating in “Fantasy” leagues, obsessively checking scores as if their IRAs depended on them.

Not only do men watch more sports than women—sports played by other males, I might add—but they participate more as well. According to a study by Grand Valley State University in Michigan, men play sports three times more often than women.

The study concluded that “boys and men are predisposed to be more interested in sports than girls and women. This interest drives them to refine the physical and social skills that were important components of men’s physical competition during our evolutionary history.”

It goes on to say that’s one of the reasons men are physically larger and stronger than women.

So it’s their inner Neanderthals that compel grown men to don oversized jerseys, watch games under the table on smartphones (we see you) and cry when their favorite teams tank?

Pretty much.

The website The Good Men Project (goodmenproject.com) likens this passion to the days of Roman gladiators.

“The contest within ancient Rome’s gladiatorial arena was the original big ticket fixture and the precedent to our modern sporting obsession,” it says. “Today’s well-padded gladiators don’t tussle with wild beasts, but the set-up is much the same: combatants face off inside monolithic stadiums, owners size up their takings, and results are scrutinized in the public forum.”

Male friends of mine cite camaraderie, family tradition and the thrill of competition as other reasons.

Whatever it is, I envy anyone who enjoys something that inspires such passion.

I just may check out a Panthers baseball game after all (wink, wink).

HOT STUFF & THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN

THE PUCK STOPS HERE [

SPORTS

Spend winters in Canada—or South Florida?

Hmmm, do you really need to think about that one?

Pro hockey player Roberto Luongo didn’t.

He spent nearly two years trying to get back to the Sunshine State before the Canadian-born goalie was finally traded in March by the Vancouver Canucks back to the Florida Panthers. And fans have been buzzing about the return of the two-time

NHL Second All-Star.

Luongo, 35, played for the Florida team between 2000 and 2006 before being shipped north of the border. But his heart, his home in Parkland and many of his family members remained here.

In fact, Luongo met his wife, Gina Cerbone, when he was a Panther. Cerbone’s family owned Pizza Time Trattoria in Coral Springs, a popular team hangout, which is where they met.

]

(The restaurant has since moved to Boca Raton).

“I got friendly with the owner because he’s Italian like me and I would always see her,” he says. “I didn’t know who she was, but I found out.”

When he was traded to the Canucks, Luongo had to uproot his wife and two kids and move to a city where the average monthly temperature in January is a frigid 9 degrees. It averages a whopping 66 degrees in July.

“As soon as the season was over we would come down and spend June, July and August here,” says Luongo.

While Canadian hockey fans are rabid, Florida fans

are a bit less enthusiastic, he acknowledges.

“Everyone on the street recognizes you in Canada.

It’s a little different here, which is a good thing for me

if I decide to go to the store,” Luongo says. “But I have to say there are more and more people who recognize me now that I am here.”

The father of a 6-yearold daughter and 3-year-old son, he says family is very important to him. One need only look at a recent run on Twitter (he’s Strombone1) in which he went on and on about a web of pink bunny necklaces he was trying to untangle for his daughter— complete with photos and lighthearted frustration.

Luongo will have plenty of time to perfect his untangling skills now that the hockey season is over.

He’ll also take the time to recover from all of those bumps and bruises that come with being a pro player.

His plans for the summer?

“I will take it easy for the next couple of weeks, make sure my body rests and recovers, and probably start working out and getting ready for next year.”

– Susan R. Miller

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS [

]

PROFILE

CLEANING UP [BUSINESS]

CPA and entrepreneur John D’Eri has owned a number of businesses. But as his son Andrew got older, he grew concerned for his future, which, for someone with autism, isn’t always promising.

“I realized there was no real hope for him in a life/ job environment,” D’Eri recalls. “One of our family’s aspirations was for Andrew to have a community that would live beyond us and not just a job.”

This was the impetus for opening Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, which employs people with autism and is dedicated to the empowerment of individuals with the condition.

Before doing so, D’Eri and his son Tom, the company’s COO, spent eight months and about $80,000 on research and development, testing theories with Sonny’s The CarWash Factory in Tamarac. He hired people with autism to see if they could produce a “competitive quality product” that could be sold to the public “without any sympathy factor,” he says.

In December 2012, he purchased his Parkland car wash, made improvements, recruited and trained a team, which now totals 35 members, and last April launched Rising Tide. He says Andrew “gravitated to it immediately.”

While autism is generally characterized as having difficulty in social interaction, a person’s

Tom and John D’Eri (Top Row, Center) with the Rising Tide Car Wash staff

abilities fall across a broad spectrum. Rising Tide harnesses the attributes of this diversity into a 46-step repetitive and structured environment where Andrew and his co-workers thrive.

D’Eri is now identifying more locations and looking for partners to help build the concept.

Initially, he’d like to add three to five stores and then grow through acquisition, franchising or a licensing agreement.

While Andrew embraces the business of getting tips, there’s more to it for him, such as friendship and respect.

“We are creating a community,” says D’Eri. “A place for people to go that will live beyond me and Donna (his wife). What we have now is 30 families, not one.”

John Offerdahl knows how to man up. It’s one reason he was tapped as keynote speaker at the recent YMCA 12th Annual Inspiration Breakfast, the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser.

From grueling days on the field at Western Michigan University and as linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, to the arduous task of starting a business from scratch, the 49-year-old knows a thing or two about survival of the fittest.

For Offerdahl, who now owns seven Offerdahl’s Cafe Grills in South Florida, the secret to success is teamwork, persistence, faith and hard work.

And if the father of three forgets this adage he need only glance at the quote from Teddy Roosevelt hanging above his bed: “In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard; don’t foul and don’t shirk, but hit the line hard.”

Although the Fort Lauderdale resident misses the glory days of football, he’s enjoying entrepreneurship—a venture he and his wife, Lynn, began when they co-founded Offerdahl’s Bagel Gourmet in 1990.

His “fresh baked, fresh grilled” concept has caught on—but he’s not resting on his laurels.

“It’s constantly a challenge to do better,” he says.

“I have dreams of opening a cafe in every NFL market.”

Oh, and if any networks are interested, the guy affectionately known as Johnny O has another goal: “I’d like to have a TV show that pits athletes and chefs in a cooking competition.”

SERENITY NOW

PUPPY LOVE: Jake, with owner Brian Gould (Below) Jake with Waterford residents

Business, bills, family obligations… it’s enough to send anyone’s brain into overdrive.

Author Barb Schmidt says she can help you slow down. The founder of Peaceful Mind Peaceful World, a nonprofit outreach program based at Florida Atlantic University, Schmidt believes that simple, subtle shifts in our daily lives can decrease stress and cultivate a calm mind.

In her new book, “The Practice” (HCI Books), Schmidt shares knowledge gleaned from more than 30 years of personal growth and discovery, guided by spiritual leaders including the Dalai Lama, Dr. Andrew Weil and Deepak Chopra. The material is organized into a three-step daily routine: Waking Up, Living Present and Letting Go. Each chapter concludes with “Parting Seeds” readers can use to “grow” in their hearts and minds.

“You’ll learn that a wellspring of inner peace and happiness exists inside each one of us,” says Schmidt, who with her husband, businessman and philanthropist Dick Schmidt, runs the Schmidt Family Foundation. “And to access it takes only minutes a day.”

Find out for yourself on May 13 at 7 p.m., when she’ll discuss her book and sign copies at the Christine E. Lynn’s College of Nursing’s auditorium at FAU. For more information, call 561297-2337 or visit fauf.fau.edu/thepractice.

HE’S ALL EARS

[HEALTH]

Dogs can make a huge impact on our emotional well-being—this is literally true with Jake, a 1-year-old Great Dane that at 4 feet and 145 pounds is the size of a small horse. The personable pooch is the official therapy dog at The Waterford, a senior living community in Juno Beach, where he visits residents at the Health Center three or four times a week, easing their anxieties, “listening” to them and distracting them from troubles.

“People’s eyes perk up when he strolls in, but they’re quickly at ease when they see his kind demeanor,” says owner Brian Gould. “Many people respond to him better than they would to another person.”

Jake has become quite a hit with the locals, but no one appreciates him more than Gould. “It’s just the two of us, so it’s an unusually strong bond,” says Gould, a Waterford resident who found solace in his canine pal after his wife died earlier this year. “He’s part of the family.”

KIDS ACTING UP? Let Officer Friendly Call Them Out BY EMILY J. MINOR t. Mick Keehan has about 50 get-rich-quick ideas a day— some clearly better than others— and no matter what, he always runs them by the missus.

“She’s tired of hearing it,” admits Keehan, a lieutenant with the Palm Beach Police Department.

But this time was different. “She said, ‘look into it and see if anybody else has done it.’”

They hadn’t.

After all, who invents a cell phone application where you get a call from “Officer Friendly” if one

L

PARENTAL PATROL: Lt. Mick Keehan

of the kids is acting up?

Keehan, that’s who.

“I just got this idea of how great it would be if there was an app that would have a police officer call and you could hand the phone to your kid, or put it on speaker,” says

“

He’s like a Woody or a Buzz Lightyear character. I didn’t want to scare the children.

”

Keehan, a Wellington dad who got so frustrated with his own children about a year ago at the mall that he looked up at a security camera and told them the police were watching.

His son and daughter, now ages 4 and 6, straightened up quick.

There are two versions to his

T H E B O C A R AT O N O B S E R V E R

app: A free version allows users to download six bad-behavior scenarios. (Yes, he’s used it on his kids and, yes, it worked.) Or, for 99 cents, you can buy 28 scenarios, including 14 pre-established problems (“Wear your seatbelt… it’s the law”) and 14 pre-established compliments (“I see that you’ve been good!”).

“I didn’t want it to be all negative,” Keehan explains.

How it works: Let’s say you’re at the park with your kid, and you’re drowning in a sea of whininess.

You activate the service by choosing one of the 14 ‘bad behaviors’ and then your phone rings.

A female “dispatcher” says, “This is the police department. I have Sgt. Friendly on the phone for you.”

At that point, simply hand your kid the phone and let him or her know their miscreant behavior is serious enough to have warranted a call from the authorities.

“He’s like a Woody or a Buzz Lightyear character,” Keehan promises. “I didn’t want to scare the children.”

On a typical day, he says, about 100 people download the app. And of those, about 30 users pay the 99 cents. And of those, he makes 70 cents on the dollar. That means for every 100 downloads, he makes about $21.

Not enough to quit his day job.

So if you get pulled over on the Island, you may just meet the real Officer Friendly.

To download the app, go to fakepolicecall.com. The “light” version is free. O

THE QUINTESSENTIAL ARTS REPORT

SCREEN SHOTS Johnny Depp Portrays Computer-Bound Despot In Techno-Thriller “Transcendence” he limits imposed on the powers granted to artificial intelligence is a constant struggle for cinematic characters whose glowing faces, 10-feet wide on the movie screen, reveal their astonished dismay whenever their computers decide to take over the world (which, of course, computers always do).

This dilemma takes on new dimensions in “Transcendence,” in which Johnny Depp is reduced to a disembodied electronic despot, and the opposing positions on the whole question of trust are represented by armed camps ready to

T

Media Blitz by Bill Bowen

wreak violence for their beliefs.

Will Caster (Depp) is a computer genius laboring on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and his pal and fellow expert, Max Waters (Paul Bettany), is enamored in equal measures by Caster’s brilliance and his perfect marriage to scientist Evelyn Caster (Rebecca Hall). Together, the trio shares the goal of creating sentient thought in their humongous computer, PINN, which takes up an entire room and can recognize people from their driver’s license photos.

In the directorial debut of cinema-

tographer Wally Pfister (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” films), the presence of some familiar technology— photo recognition, instant sifting through massive databases—creates a specious comfort zone. But where the rubber meets the road—the transfer of a human’s intelligence and personality into a computer—has been the impossible leap since TV series “Max Headroom” tried it in 1985.

In fact, the whole idea is creepy, which could be the mantra of vigilante group RIFT (Revolutionary Independence From Technology) led by Bree (Kate Mara), which recognizes the danger of putting computers in charge and deals a blow to artificial intelligence with a series of terrorist attacks on research facilities, including the fatal wounding of Will Caster.

For the investigation of these attacks, the FBI sends agent Donald Buchanan (Cillian Murphy) to work with AI expert Joseph Tagger (Morgan Freeman) to try and thwart RIFT, but the more unfortunate result is that Depp spends the bulk of the film as a rather unanimated image on a computer screen, having somehow transferred himself online via electrodes attached to his brain.

Jack Paglen’s script wrestles with some issues as Evelyn searches for signs of her late husband in the computer presence that is steadily growing stronger and exercising its power in alarming ways. And soon, as PINN’s apparent aims take bizarre turns, the FBI team begins working with RIFT operatives to try and stop the computer before it’s too late. This battle of acronyms provides Hollywood’s requisite gunfight, but the juxtaposition of plotlines and switching of allegiances further muddies what is already a challenging narrative. O RATED PG-13: Contains sci-fi action and violence, some bloody images, brief strong language and sensuality.

When the U.S. president decides to eliminate a deadly global menace once and for all—knowing his career and state of the nation will be at stake should he fail—he assigns the dangerous task to specialist Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel. But some high-powered officials don’t trust the pair, and will do anything to help them succeed before having them killed, too. The story leads the team into the prison camps of North Korea and into the bull’s-eye of a fellow

Nearly 25 years after novelist John Grisham published his best-selling novel, “A Time to Kill,” he returns to the courthouse in fictitious Clanton, Miss. where defense attorney Jake Brigance once again is enmeshed in a fiercely controversial trial. This time he’s representing the rights of his deceased client, the wealthy Seth Hubbard, who hung himself to escape the torture of lung cancer treatments.

The Fifth Assassin

Missing You

By Brad Meltzer

By Harlan Coben

In the second installment of author Brad Meltzer’s Culper Ring Trilogy, government archivist Beecher White is faced with a serial killer recreating crimes by former presidential assassins Lee Harvey Oswald, Leon Czolgosz, Charles Guiteau and John Wilkes Booth.

As he races against time to figure out who the killer is, he discovers that these four assassins secretly worked together—and that plans are in the works to kill the current president. Meltzer, who attended North Miami Beach Senior High School and lives in Hollywood, Fla. with his wife and children, has written a string of best-sellers, and is also an award-winning comic book writer, nonfiction author and host of the History Channel’s “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded.” This is his ninth novel.

When NYPD detective Kat Donovan spots her ex-fiancé on an online dating website, thoughts of rekindling the romance turn to suspicion and horror as she begins a dark journey into an unspeakable conspiracy from which few escape with their lives. As her investigation deepens, she’s forced to challenge her feelings about the people in her life, and begins to learn new information about the mysterious death of her father. And when she grows closer to discovering an ugly truth, even her own life is in jeopardy. Award-winning, best-selling author Harlan Coben grew up in Livingston, N.J., where his childhood friend was future governor Chris Christie. He attended Amherst College, where his fraternity brothers included future author Dan Brown. O

Flamboyant Lady Gaga Brings Show To BB&T Center tefani Germanotta’s nickname Lady Gaga derived from a text message sent by producer Rob Fusari. While working with Lady Gaga in a Manhattan recording studio, Fusari became enthralled at the resemblance of her original songs to those of Freddie Mercury and Queen, and got in the habit of singing “Radio Ga Ga� whenever she walked in. He sent her a text to that effect, and his smartphone transposed “Radio� to “Lady.� Lady Gaga was born.

The singer was bound for stardom way before then, taking up piano at age 4 and writing songs at 13. Her theatrical bent made her a standout in high school, where she had lead roles in thespian productions. She later attended art school at New York University, but dropped out to concentrate on her SGBand and their gigs around Manhattan. Her eye-popping ensembles and showy dance moves led her to outgrow the band and become the artist she is today. Fans can see why when she brings her “artRave: The ARTPOP Ball� Tour to the BB&T Center on May 4 for a 7:30 p.m. show.

COUNTRY CLUB Lady Antebellum Performs Harmonies At Hard Rock Live

f the collective memory of this threesome is to be believed, they were out on a photo junket taking pictures of stately antebellum homes, when one of the group members remarked, “Hey, there’s a great band name in there someplace.”

The show business potential was certainly there. Member Hillary Scott is the daughter of country singer Linda Davis. Charles Kelley is the brother of country artist Josh Kelley. When Kelley decided to make his bid in Nashville, he called a boyhood chum from Georgia, Dave Haywood, with whom he performed in a high school band. He persuaded Haywood to move closer and begin a songwriting career, introduced him to Scott—and Lady Antebellum was set in motion.

The trio broke into country music in 2007 with their first single, “Love Don’t Live Here,” which reached No. 3 on the country charts. They’ll likely perform the song when they play their 8 p.m. show on May 16 at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, as part of their “Take Me Downtown” Tour.

Lady Antebellum released their first self-titled album in 2008, and it became the first album by a new duo or group to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s country albums chart. Their single, “Lookin’ for a Good Time,” rose to No. 11, and their third single, “I Run to You,” became their first No. 1 hit.

Driven by compelling harmonies, their sophomore album, Need You Now, contained the stratospheric crossover hit single of the same name that climbed to No. 1 on the country and adult contemporary charts. The band continues to record successful albums and sticks to what they know best.

“Every band I love that’s been here for a long time has reinvented itself in some way,” Kelley says on the band’s website. “There’s a balance to it.

I get a little annoyed when people reinvent themselves too much because there’s a reason people fell in love with you in the first place, but I think it’s important not to regurgitate the same stuff over and over again.” O

SUCCESSFUL FORMULA

UK Boy Band The Wanted Takes Over The Fillmore he Wanted is an English-Irish singing group that, like many boy bands, is more of a carefully selected cast than a group. It was created from a mass 2009 audition of more than 1,000 hopeful singers, the first all-boy band put together

by Jayne Collins, who used the same process to compile two girl groups: The Saturdays and Parade.

The Wanted winners were Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes. After forming, the guys were immediately signed to a record contract and began working on their self-titled debut album. Their first single, “All Time Low,” was released in 2010 and rose to No. 1 on

T

the UK charts. The album resulted in two more Top 20 singles: “Heart Vacancy” and “Lose My Mind.” A second album, Gold Forever, resulted in four more hit singles.

The Wanted, which will perform at The Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater on May 9 at 9 p.m., was well-established in Britain before ever venturing across the pond.

That changed in early 2012, when the group toured clubs in the United States, playing in 10 cities and releasing the single “Glad You Came,” which rose to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band then released its third studio album, Word of Mouth, and premiered a reality TV show, “The Wanted Life,”

on E! Entertainment. The series documented the group’s stay in Los Angeles as they recorded their album and prepared for their tour.

The band in 2012 launched Wanted World, an interactive website where fans can get exclusive access to new videos, merchandise, VIP tour tickets, live web chats

and video diaries—all the things teens and tweens could desire. But it costs them in the form of monthly or annual membership fees—after all, this isn’t just a band. It’s a well-formulated commodity. O For more information, call 305-6737300 or visit fillmoremb.com.

ill Maher has always blurred the lines between stand-up comedian and political pundit, and his popular TV show, “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, has established him as the very thing he has spent much of his career making fun of—a political commentator.

The show is a follow-up to Maher’s “Politically Incorrect,” which aired through 2002. It features a roundtable format of discussions on issues of the day, featuring assorted guest celebrities, pundits, authors and the like.

Maher will likely have much to say when he performs at 8 p.m. on May 18 at The Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater.

Never at a loss for words, Maher graduated from Cornell University before beginning his stand-up career in 1979 as host at the New York comedy club Catch a Rising Star, and several years later began making frequent appearances on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and the “Late Show with David Letterman.” He had several small roles on television and in films before becoming a well-known figure on “Politically Incorrect.”

Although the premise of the

B

show was that no subject or opinion be out-of-bounds, Maher actually lost his highly successful program by crossing the line regarding comments about the 9/11 attacks, causing several major sponsors to withdraw their support. But he landed virtually the same show the following season on HBO, and later said in an interview that he preferred the HBO format because it featured guests that are professionals with serious and informed opinions. “Real Time with Bill Maher” has received more than 10 Emmy nominations, though has yet to win an award.

Maher is liberal on most issues, and is a board member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He endorsed Barack Obama for president, but has since complained he didn’t get tough enough on the healthcare issue. Maher is in favor of the death penalty and a believer in gun ownership, but skeptical of doctors, drug companies, swine flu vaccinations and the government in general.

A GUIDE TO PERSONAL GROWTH

MAD MEN

More Guys Are Speaking Out About Stress, Anger And The Daily Grind BY EMILY J. MINOR bout five years ago, Boca Raton therapist Richard Loebl began working on a problem that had been bothering him for years.

“My field as a profession is heavily dominated by women, kind of like teaching and nursing,” Loebl says. “It’s the opposite of most professional fields.”

What that meant in the overall scheme of things was this: If you were a guy who wanted to see a male therapist, it was harder than heck to find one.

A

Indeed, that old notion that men don’t like to talk about their feelings is getting staler, especially with the evolving roles of today’s families. Be it working dad or dashing bachelor, men today are speaking up more than ever. While they might not go through life firing off daily emoticons, both literally and figuratively, they’re learning to verbalize their feelings to better cope with life and the daily grind.

Why do men and women cope so differently?

“

Mental health in general has become less stigmatized and this has made it easier for more men to talk about their feelings. There’s been a huge sea change in attitudes and beliefs.

– Richard Loebl, therapist, Boca Raton

“A lot of people want to see a man,” insists Loebl, director of the Relationship Center of South Florida in Boca Raton. “They want that male energy, if you will.”

So Loebl started what he calls Weekly Men’s Group, a group therapy session comprised of eight male clients, plus him as the professional moderator. The idea for this group was so well-received that a few of his colleagues at the center have added similar groups.

“We had so much demand, I couldn’t handle it all,” he says. “It’s one of the things that I do that I enjoy most.”

”

A recent study out of the University of Pennsylvania where researchers scanned the brains of 400 men and 500 women shows the female brain has an increased connection between the neurons in the right and left hemispheres. That is, women are more wired for socialization and memory. After all, isn’t it always the mom that finds that one missing shoe?

According to the study, the male brain seems to be wired more from front to back, or, from the frontal to rear lobe. This means men are more geared toward perception and coordinated action.

M AY 2 0 1 4

45

life relations

Lo and behold, what we’ve all suspected is true: The brains of men and women are very different.

Studies such as these allow Loebl to help clients further understand what he calls the “Big Three” of most male emotional issues: Stress,

anger and shame.

While our lives and coping mechanisms are shaped through a combination of nature and nurture—that is, our childhoods and early relationships team with our genetics to shape our adult emotions—there are some things we just can’t change.

So even a simple comment can push a confident husband into a place where failure was once rooted. “If my wife complains that I didn’t take out the garbage, that might hit me that I am not doing a good job,” he says.

In other words ladies, little comments speak volumes.

That old notion that men don’t like to talk about their feelings is getting staler, especially with the evolving roles of today’s families.

And men have been dealt a particularly bad hand when it comes to the latter of the Big Three, shame.

“A man’s identity and sense of self-worth is almost completely rooted in the idea that we are here to take care of our women, our children and our family,” he says. “Our job is to provide for them and to defend them.”

46

T H E B O C A R AT O N O B S E R V E R

And when it comes to stress, Loebl explains that it’s “not an emotion, it’s a force. But how we deal with it is emotional.” If you’re having a bad day at work, sharing that doesn’t make you weak, he adds. It can be therapeutic.

Then there’s anger.

Why are men angry?

“We have far more brain capacity

for competition and aggression than women,” he says. “We’re biologically programmed that way for survival purposes, and male aggression has often benefitted humanity by going out and fighting off an invading horde.”

Sounds barbaric. After all, we’re not living in the “Game of Thrones” era. (Thank goodness.) But Loebl feels this is especially important to help men understand what it means to be a man in today’s world of stayat-home dads, traditional fathers and gay parents.

Men can protect and nurture at the same time, he points out. They just might need some help.

“Mental health in general has become less stigmatized and this has made it easier for more men to talk about their feelings,” he says.

“There’s been a huge sea change in attitudes and beliefs.” O

“For more than two decades, I have taken great pleasure in helping my patients look their best and enter their mature years with joy and confidence.

And today, my practice is all about the face.”

But why is dating such a big deal to dads? They dated. I dated. You dated. Millions of adults and teens are dating right now. And some of us—hopefully most of us—are very happy because dating led us to someone we truly love.

The problem, says Eric Mundt, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Delray Beach, is that fathers don’t like to think of their daughters “being” with a boy. That could mean holding hands or kiss-

“I think it’s the idea that guys are typically looking for one thing when it comes to girls,” Mundt says. “It’s hard to accept your child is growing up in that way. There’s a degree of having to let go.”

Building a strong bond with their daughters when they’re younger will make the process easier, Mundt explains.

Typically, fathers have an easier time bonding with sons because they can relate to sports and superheroes, but have a harder time con-

Mundt says. “There are more demands. We need to be involved. Be in their space with them.”

And when they outgrow Barbie dolls and become interested in boys and dating, be prepared to talk to them about it instead of pretending it isn’t happening. Sure, it may be a little uncomfortable. But who better to speak to your daughter about dating than her father—you were a boy once, after all.

boys they date, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s a father of two girls, ages 19 and 16, and a 23-yearold son. Loys recalls the boy craze beginning when both girls entered the ninth grade, and that’s when he decided to have the talk with them both.

He told them what he expected—and still expects—of them in terms of dating, such as bringing the boys to the

T H E B O C A R AT O N O B S E R V E R

house so he can meet them. Hanging out in the bedrooms is not allowed and neither is being home without adult supervision. They are, however, allowed to relax in the family room off of the garage and the door can be closed because it’s made of glass and privacy is minimal.

“To me, it’s about sending the message that I’m watching,” he says.

During that talk with his daughters, Loys took it a step further, explaining why they should not be sexually active. But if they decided to, he asked that they let him know.

Neither daughter has done so.

Yet. “I wanted to tell them what was on my mind and just kind of give them a shock and awe kind of thing,” Loys says. “I’ve always had the idea that kids will do what they feel like doing anyway and the best thing you can do is build a strong moral fiber. I show them always they are the most

important people in my life.”

Loys says he usually likes the boys his daughters date and is fortunate in that he usually knows the boys’ parents. He always tells them the same thing upon first meeting. “I tell them, ‘You are taking my most precious gift and I expect you to take care of her the way I take care of her.’ It shows the daughter the dad cares.”

Loys admits he’s seen fathers “go berserk” about their daughters dating and usually, he says, those are the men who were disrespectful of girls when they were younger. But Loys says he always treated girls well so that gives him hope that there are other boys out there who will do the same.

“The fact that I know a guy can respect a girl, that helps me not worry as much,” he says. “To me, it’s not that bad.”

Hopefully that provides peace of mind to other South Florida fathers as well. O

ENTREPRENEUR, PRODUCER, MUSICIAN AND FAMILY GUY EMILIO ESTEFAN IS LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM TEXT BY EMILY J. MINOR PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESUS CORDERO

He has a joyful family life, replete with wealth and influence and solicitude. “I am living the American dream,” says Cuban-born Estefan, a man with a résumé practically as long as Ocean Drive. “I wake up every day happy.”

Yes, Mr. Gloria Estefan—he’s heard that one before, believe us—is one bouncy, energetic, smiling guy.

And why not? He starts each day immediately buoyed by the reality that he escaped Cuba as a kid. His son, daughter-in-law and (“perfect”) grandson live inside the family compound on Miami Beach’s picturesque Star Island.

“When (my grandson) says ‘I love you,’ I melt,” he says.

Even though his accomplishments are all over the map—en-

trepreneur, restaurant owner, hotelier, producer, musician—Estefan pretty much starts each work day the same way. He wakes, kisses his amazing wife (who’s won myriad Grammys, by the way), smiles at the same housekeeper he’s had for 30 years, does a few shots of espresso and pedals his bike to the restaurants and hotels the couple owns in Miami and Miami Beach.

Passersby always call out to him.

“I think they must recognize me from my ass,” he says, laughing, showing off that infectious Estefan humor. “How else could they know me? I am wearing a helmet.”

CYCLE OF LIFE Like so many of Miami’s CubanAmericans, it is Estefan’s past that makes his present so outstanding.

His boyhood days in Cuba are what dictate what he does and for whom. He loves being just a regular guy, talking to people on his morning ride, giving them a high

five, asking how they’re doing.

And he really cares. Not too long ago, Estefan bought a guy a bike because his went missing and he didn’t have money for a new one. Plus, Estefan enjoyed riding in the park with the man, a retiree on a fixed income.

On Estefan’s sometimes breezy commute to work, he often sees the same faces. If he doesn’t whiz by at his appointed time, the local shop owners know he’s probably out of town. Sometimes for business. Sometimes, pleasure.

“You won’t believe this,” says Estefan, talking in that fast, clipped voice his staff warned me about. (“Get ready,” said an assistant, “he talks fast.”) “The same homeless people wait for me every morning,” he says. “They tell me everything that’s happening in town. I talk to them; I look at them. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a difference to someone.”

Though Estefan and his wife do the big things, too.

Since marrying the former Gloria M AY 2 0 1 4

Fajardo 35 years ago—she was 20; he was 25—this guy who once left his homeland with little more than a broken heart has become not just a hot ticket in Hollywood but a community philanthropist in Miami.

The Estefans are perhaps Miami’s most well-known power couple and go out of their way to talk about their city, and about the importance of love, family and giving back to the community. (“You have a lot of emotions when you have a grandchild,” says Estefan, 61.)

The couple created The Gloria Estefan Foundation, which raises awareness and money for spinal cord injuries and research. He sits on a commission that’s exploring a Latino museum. The couple also owns a minority share of the Miami Dolphins.

He’s written a best-selling autobi58

ography, “The Rhythm of Success: How an Immigrant Produced His Own American Dream” (with a foreward by Quincy Jones) that’s fascinating as all get-out, and collaborated with The Miami Herald to chronicle the personal stories of many of Miami-Dade’s Cuban-Americans. A few months ago his film, “An Unbreakable Bond,” debuted at the Miami International Film Festival. The critically acclaimed movie documents the relationship between NFL Hall

into the Miami music business.

He knows a good enterprise when he sees one. A story in People en Español magazine puts the Estefans’ estimated worth at $700 million. The couple has business interests in nightclubs, hotels and restaurants all along Florida’s east coast. She’s still recording. They’re considering a Broadway play. And he’s still a maniac in the studio, producing, directing and playing music.

And he does it all with good karma. Well, mostly.

After all, the guy’s human.

“I always look for the positive side,” he says, taking a break from his studio work to talk with The Boca Raton Observer one recent morning. “I don’t lose energy talking bad about anybody.”

THE EARLY YEARS Most Cuban-Americans know Estefan’s story because it’s their story too—although not every plot turns out so dreamy. Estefan was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1953 and lived there with his father, Emilio Sr., and his mother, Carmen, until he and his father left in 1965.

“For 10 years, I did not see my mother,” says this über-family man.

Estefan had one older brother, Jose, who was marched off to join the mandatory military school

when he was barely a teenager. It was a difficult separation for Estefan, and for his mother. The Castro regime’s increasing demands and limitations on the lives of everyday working people grew more and more suffocating. Those years, he says, impact him to this day.

Likewise, his wife was born in Cuba, but did not live there for nearly as long, coming to the United States with her parents when she was 18 months old.

Like many young boys in Cuba during the 1960s, Estefan’s preteen years were both formative and troubling. After his 12th birthday, as the time quickly approached when he would be marched off like his older brother, his parents began to discuss their desperate circumstances.

These conversations were quiet, of course, whispered inside their government-owned home, shades drawn.

It was clear that his parents did not

of Famer Nick Buoniconti, his son Marc and their nearly three-decade struggle to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.

And as if this power couple wasn’t busy enough, they also have a cookbook, “Estefan Kitchen.”

And he’s on billboards around town because, as he readily admits, Estefan appreciates fine liquor.

He’s the new advertising face for Botran Rum, a family-owned business that began in Guatemala more than six decades ago. The rum is made from sugar cane grown in volcanic-enriched soil, which creates its unique taste. If you’re driving down the freeway and see a guy who looks kind of familiar smiling next to the slogan, “The Night Begins with Botran,” that’s him.

“I like working with traditional families,” says Estefan, who was the marketing guy for family-owned Bacardi years ago when he was breaking

want him growing up in a communist country.

Because it was impossible to fly straight from Cuba to America, he and his father flew to Spain, where they had ancestral roots. “I cried all

the way to Spain, like you would not believe,” he remembers.

Forty years later, Estefan and his family found themselves in that same airline terminal in Spain, the one he had landed in as a boy. “I told Gloria, ‘This is the same corridor where I walked with my dad 40 years ago.’”

Estefan appreciates those throwbacks; they keep him centered.

A year after moving to Spain, Estefan and his father moved to Miami and in the late 1960s, they lived in crowded quarters with relatives. “At times, we were like homeless,” he says today. “We had nothing.”

Eventually their lives began to take hold. After a decade, his mother was able to join them. A talented musician by nature, Estefan began noticing that other musicians were making money playing gigs at restaurants and bars. I could do that, he told himself.

Apparently, local restaurant owners were impressed with the kid’s moxie.

Pretty soon he was playing the accordion, showing off his skills, creating the path for the majestic music career that unbeknownst to him was just around the corner.

“Even with how happy I am,” he says, “I still remember the fears I had as a child.”

And that’s probably why he’s known all over town, including Star Island, as a stand-up family guy.

On the island, several milliondollar homes comprise the Estefan compound. Until his parents died— his dad 11 years ago, his mother six—they lived on the property with the Estefans and their two children, 60

T H E B O C A R AT O N O B S E R V E R

Nayib and Emily Marie.

Estefan loves to tell the story about how each night he would wander to his parents’ home, dish out their little dab of evening ice cream, say goodnight, then go back to the studio.

“We have two houses and I am so fortunate to have my family with me,” says Estefan, whose son, daughter-in-law and grandson now live in the house where his parents once did.

In June of 2012, he and Gloria, 56, became grandparents for the first time.

“I am fortunate to see him every single day,” says Estefan, about his little joy, Sasha Argento Estefan.

FALLING IN LOVE Estefan met Gloria in the early 1970s, first casually at a jam session with some friends and then at a wedding of mutual acquaintances.

At the time, Estefan was in the band Miami Latin Boys and they

were just establishing their Latin vibe locally.

He wasn’t a star yet, but he had good instincts—even back then.

He invited Gloria to join them on the stage.

After that, there was no turning back. The couple celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary last September.

“I always felt that we were meant to be together,” she recently told a magazine writer. “Oh my gosh, Emilio—he’s a dreamer who makes things a reality.”

Back in those days—when his hair was without gray and hers was crazy with curls—the Miami

Sound Machine, the band he created to lift Gloria into stardom, was the kind of jazzy, boppy, creative phenomenon that Miami had never seen before. Indeed, Miami Sound Machine pretty much put Latino music on the map. (The band put Miami on the music map, as well.)

She sang lead vocals; he played keyboard. Together they pushed songs like “Conga” and “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” to the top of the charts. Latin music’s mainstream acceptance in America today very much started in this era. And it started because of the Estefans.

Since then, he’s paved the way

for stars like Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Jon Secada, Carlos Vives and Shakira. His business acumen is impeccable. The couple owns Larios on the Beach, on Miami’s Ocean Drive; Bongos Cuban Cafe in Miami and other cities; the Cardozo Hotel on Miami Beach; and Costa d’Este Beach Resort in Vero Beach.

But when the economy tanked 10 years ago and the Estefans were hard-pressed to keep all their 3,000 employees on the payroll, they found jobs for the ones they had to let go.

Oh, and those morning bike rides to his properties? He prides himself in knowing not just the names of folks along the way, but the names of his staff as well.

He looks at them. He listens.

And he cares.

“I always say we’re living in the best country in the whole world,” he says.

“Every day, I try to pay it back.” O M AY 2 0 1 4

PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING JOURNALISTS BOB WOODWARD AND CARL BERNSTEIN TALK WATERGATE, JOURNALISM AND THE NEVER-ENDING QUEST FOR TRUTH

BY DIANNA SMITH

—————————————————————————

T

Photo by Tom Ervin

hough it’s been more than 40 years since they uncovered one of the biggest political scandals of all time, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein still reminisce about the days when they blasted open the corruption of Washington, D.C. that led to this country’s only presidential resignation.

This was evident earlier this year, when the powerful Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists spoke to 2,500 fans at Florida Atlantic University—all of whom battled gridlock traffic and then waited patiently to hear them speak as though chatting with old friends at a coffee shop. They recounted the early 1970s, and the break-in at the Democratic National

Committee headquarters in the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., and how they eventually discovered that President Richard Nixon’s administration was behind it, which led to his historical departure.

A film based on the book they co-authored, “All the President’s Men,” followed the groundbreaking reporting, with Dustin Hoffman portraying Bernstein and Robert Redford playing Woodward. All this led to the well-deserved fame that still follows them today.

But as iconic as these two are, they’re no dinosaurs.

Woodward, who’s worked for The Washington Post since 1971, is an associate editor there, and has written 16 nonfiction books about American politics. Bernstein was an ABC News Washington bureau chief and correspondent before becoming a contributing writer to various publica-

“The problem with journalism now is that they (reporters) don’t get out enough and they don’t get into things. You gotta show up and reporters are not showing up. You have to go, knock on the doors and show up.”

tions including Vanity Fair and Time. He’s an author too, with his most recent book being, “A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.” Both still embrace a passion for journalism, despite chronic newspaper woes throughout the country. It’s something they often talk about when they travel the country, speaking to large groups.

The industry certainly has changed, they agree.

Back when they were reporters, they pounded pavements and chased every lead they could. With Watergate, they knew they were onto a good story—but they weren’t sure who was involved or why.

Staying Hungry ————————————————————————— Woodward and Bernstein were in their late 20s when they worked together at The Washington Post, assigned to follow-up a lead on the DNC headquarters break-in. With the help of an anonymous whistleblower they called Deep Throat (who in 2005 was revealed to be W. Mark Felt, a former associate director of the FBI) they discovered that Nixon was using his presidency as a tool for personal revenge. Nixon’s strategy, Woodward explains, was to spy on and sabotage the Democratic candidates to such an extent that he could select who he would run against.

Their quest for truth has been called some of the greatest reporting effort of all time.

“He was not giving everyone a free vote,” Woodward says. “It was a frontal assault on democracy.”

Indeed, the former president had secretly taped conversations that took place in the Oval Office for months. Woodward has listened to more than 4,000 hours of those tapes, which were confiscated during the Watergate scandal. He recalls one in particular that included a discussion between Nixon and his chief of staff about a year before the break-in. They were dis-

“I’m optimistic about the reporting but not so about our system. People are looking for information and news that fits their preconceived notions. That’s why FOX (News) is so big.”

“The opposers kept hammering home that we had an ax to grind against President Nixon,” Bernstein recalls. “But we didn’t know in the beginning who was responsible, we were just following the facts.”

Good old-fashioned perseverance and determination is what helped them land the story of the century.

Today, Woodward says with a sense of sadness, it seems most journalists don’t have the same gumption. Many remain glued to their desks and computer screens. Had this pair done that, there may never have been a Watergate.

“The problem with journalism now is that they (reporters) don’t get out enough and they don’t get into things,” Woodward says. “You gotta show up and reporters are not showing up. You have to go, knock on the doors and show up.”

cussing blackmailing President Lyndon Johnson.

“Can you imagine John Adams sitting around saying let’s blackmail George Washington?” Woodward says incredulously.

Because the pair’s reporting remains jaw-dropping to the public more than four decades later, FAU audience members wanted to know: “Where are the Woodward and Bernsteins of today?”

Bernstein says he believes they’re around. It’s the resources that are missing.

Newspaper readership has drastically declined in the past few years, leading to massive layoffs at American newspapers. Media companies are desperate to cut costs so they can manage the decline, while also jumping into the digital world to make up for lost readership.

Bernstein says that despite the newspaper industry’s difficulties, there are still plenty of hungry reporters out there.

“I’m optimistic about the reporting but not so about our system,” he says. “People are looking for information and news that fits their preconceived notions. That’s why FOX (News) is so big.”

Though, Woodward quickly points out, readers aren’t to blame. “We need to do more and make sure what we do is credible,” he says. “The problem with journalism is a rush to judgment and not doing the work to discover the truth.

We need to give a better product.”

And to the young journalists out there, he says, step away from your computers and get out there. Talk to people to discover great stories. And, more importantly, don’t give up.

“It’s amazing,” he says, “what people will tell you.” O

SHORE OF HIMSELF WHY EVERYONE WANTS A SPOT ON DR. BEACH’S TOP 10 LIST

BY DIANNA SMITH

T H E B O C A R AT O N O B S E R V E R

B

eing known as the guy who advises the world on America’s Top 10 Beaches each and every year wasn’t what Stephen Leatherman ever aspired to be.

He’s a respected geoscientist and coastal ecologist in South Florida who is also the author of 16 books and countless journal articles about science and nature. Leatherman has prized degrees and a résumé most others in his field likely envy.

But turns out, he says jokingly, no one really cares

Why? Well, because, he’s Dr. Beach.

It’s a nickname a student gave him years ago that stuck with him through his career, and today it suits him more than ever. Every Memorial Day weekend, Leatherman releases his Top 10 list and city officials in beach towns across the nation wait on pins and needles to see if their area snagged a coveted spot.

Leatherman, who once spent two years working on a project for the federal government that included eval-

“I had a love affair with beaches.

I loved seafood and boats and flying kites and good strong winds. I saw it as fun back then.”

about those things.

Instead, people pining for vacations want to know which beach they should spend their days off work enjoying. Where’s the best place to sink their feet into gorgeous, powdery sand?

And where can they swim in warm water without worrying about rip currents whisking them away?

Leatherman—a professor and the director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Miami-based Florida International University—is the guy with the answers to these questions and more when it comes to the nation’s beaches.

uating 650 public beaches across the United States, refuses to give any hints about the 2014 list to be revealed later this month, but he does have this to say about South Florida: “Florida has always done well in the past. Boca has pretty beaches. It’s been in the Top 20 or 30 before and being in the Top 100 is huge,” he says. “I like to work with beaches in Palm Beach County.”

So, you might wonder, why is this list such a big deal?

Because when beaches make the list, their cities benefit big-time. It means more tourists, more busiM AY 2 0 1 4

ness and even international exposure. It’s so hot that eager newspaper reporters try to figure who’s on it before Leatherman reveals it to the public.

But, so far, no one has managed to scoop him.

Leatherman first recognized the power his lists hold after creating his first one in 1989, prompted by a Condé Nast Traveler editor who requested he compile a Top 10 list of beaches for a sidebar.

Daytona Beach officials were upset they didn’t make the cut so they called Leatherman to find out why. He said they allow driving on the beach and that, he told them, was a safety hazard. So guess what? Now the city has stretches of beach where no driving is allowed.

Officials at a beach town near San Diego heard the city was on Dr. Beach’s “naughty” list because raw sewage seeps into the water and pollutes the beach, so they invested money into fixing the problem and now their beach is healthy.

And city leaders in other beach towns have consulted with him on possible construction of condominiums on their sandy shores.

Leatherman warned if they did that, they’d never be considered as a Top 10 beach.

So those condos were never built.

“It’s a way I can make a difference,” he says.

to see it at a beach for the first time he fell head over heels.

“I had a love affair with beaches,” he says. “I loved seafood and boats and flying kites and good strong winds.

I saw it as fun back then.”

And then he turned fun into work. Perhaps no one enjoys his job more than this guy.

Leatherman has a list of 50 criteria for determining his coveted Top 10 list. He considers if the water is clean,

shows regarding his prominent list, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and was the person who helped the Travel Channel launch its list of Top 10 beaches years ago. He eventually parted ways with the company because it wanted to change the criteria and Leatherman didn’t want to stray from his own rules.

Today, he reveals his list on his website—drbeach.org —and also releases it to the

He doesn’t need compensation. He just wants better beach quality.

That’s why, he promises, no matter what else he’s doing professionally in the years to come, he will always make time for his Top 10 list.

It helps improve beach life almost everywhere.

And besides, he says in jest, “people love lists.” O

Wild Ride

Top South Florida Columnists Talk Past, Present And Future Of Sports

By Bill Bowen

T

he Miami Heat, with back-to-back NBA titles and playoff bound again, is the latest sports thrill ride for South Florida—which has had its share.

The sleepy scene here—horse racing, baseball spring training, the annual Orange Bowl game—was transformed in 1966 with the arrival of the Miami Dolphins, who trained for two years in Boca Raton. Coach Don Shula led the team to three straight Super Bowls, winning two in a row, and suddenly, South Florida was a major market.

In 1983, Shula’s former assistant Howard Schnellenberger coached the University of Miami Hurricanes to the national championship, their first of five. A decade later, Wayne Huizenga spent $145 million to enter the Florida Panthers and Florida Marlins in the NHL and National League, respectively. The Heat, founded in 1988, hired Pat Riley in 1995.

And then crazy things began happening: The Panthers made the Stanley Cup Finals in 1996; the Marlins won the World Series in 1997 (and 2003) and the Heat claimed the NBA title in 2006, then again in 2013 and 2014.

In the spirit of South Florida sports, we introduce you to four veteran columnists who’ve seen it all.

Though separated by generations, did you sense a higher level of excitement from hanky waving at Dolphins’ opponents in the Orange Bowl, hurling rats on the ice after Panthers’ goals, the Marlins’ run to the World Series title, or either of the Heat’s championship teams?

DH: “The Marlins’ championship runs were euphoric gulps of adrenaline. The throwing of the rats is like the running of the bulls—it takes you to a specific time and good place (though it’s a trite appendage of more recent Panthers games). The Heat championship teams are different in the sense everyone knows they’re watching a special run. It’s not just the titles. It’s the team. It’s the once-in-a-sports-generation show that the Heat have become behind this sports era’s best player. Watching LeBron James is like getting a chance to watch this generation’s Joe DiMaggio or Michael Jordan play.”

Dave Hyde, Sun Sentinel

Dave Hyde is an award-winning sports

What is your favorite moment in South Florida sports?

“Favorite run was the ’96 Panthers (surprise is a wonderful sports emotion). Favorite game was the (Steve) Bartman game in Chicago of the Marlins’ 2003 title run (still don’t believe it). Favorite subject was Ricky Williams (a fountain of good columns). Favorite personality was Pat Riley, as coach (you entered an interview with no idea for a column and left feeling inspired).”

BRO: What would you change about the sports scene or fans in

South Florida?

DH: “I’d procreate more fans who read the newspaper and cared about the local teams. If you want to see everything that’s wrong with South Florida beyond the sports world as far as being a defined community, go to a Dolphins-Jets game. Or Heat-Knicks. Or Panthers-Maple Leafs. Or any Marlins game. The lack of hometown representation is symbolic of a region without roots. Or maybe that’s what’s interesting about it.”

DH: “I went to a join-the-newspaper meeting as a freshman in college.

There was a line of people there for the news reporters meeting. No one was at the sports meeting. I liked sports and figured I might get to write something since there was no competition. And I never left.”

In order, what do you consider the five most momentous accomplishments of South Florida sports teams?

DH: “(The) 1972 Dolphins—their undefeated season is the gold standard of team-sports achievement and their back-to-back Super Bowl titles defined this sports area for decades; the Heat’s Big Three Era—they’re the biggest show in sports for the past four years; the University of Miami football program won five national titles with four coaches in two decades; the Marlins get a beautiful new stadium, a $100 million payroll and proceed to alienate everyone within a few hours—unbelievably difficult to do; the Panthers have gone 18 years without winning a playoff series— near impossible in pro hockey.”

BRO: Though separated by generations, did you sense a higher level of excitement from hanky waving at Dolphins’ opponents in the Orange Bowl, hurling rats on the ice after Panthers’ goals, the Marlins’ run to the World Series title, or either of the Heat’s championship teams?

GC: “Probably the excitement over the Dolphins’ early success because that was South Florida’s first taste of national success and relevance. It was all new.”

Do you think having openly gay players in the locker room is going to be a difficult transition for professional sports? How about bullying issues?

GC: “Acceptance of gay players won’t be the issue/problem most think, partly because there have been gay athletes for years known within the locker room. Michael Sam isn’t the first, just the first who is open.

Also, I don’t think bullying will be a major issue. In school yards and cyberspace against kids, yes. In sports, no.”

How will the dawning realization of the effects of concussions in football change the game?

He has applied his penetrating wit to seven Olympics, 17 Super Bowls and Jack Nicklaus’ 1986 Masters victory, and was the Dolphins beat writer in 1983, which was Dan Marino’s rookie season.

In order, what do you consider the five most momentous accomplishments by South Florida sports teams?

DG: “Miami Dolphins’ perfect season in 1972; Miami Hurricanes’ first national football title in 1983; Marlins’ first World Series title in 1997; Miami Heat’s first NBA title in 2006; Marlins winning (the) World Series at Yankee Stadium.”

BRO: Though separated by generations, did you sense a higher level of excitement from hanky waving at Dolphins’ opponents in the Orange Bowl, hurling rats on the ice after Panthers’ goals, the Marlins’ run to the World Series title, or either of the Heat’s championship teams?

DG: “The flying rats were wilder than anything, causing opposing goalies to hide in their nets, and a more original expression of fan excitement than anything blaring out on the stadium loudspeakers or Jumbotrons.”

How will the dawning realization of the effects of concussions in football change the game?

DG: “The game will change with a few rule tweaks, like moving the kickoff point so that fewer kicks are returned. Old-school football types won’t like it but the NFL wants potential lawsuits to be cooled by the appearance that the league is doing something about the dangers in an inherently dangerous sport. There will be plenty of advances on helmet design, too, but then this game was once played without face masks. Everyone will adjust, but there is a larger problem with parents who are increasingly resistant to their children picking up football

at a young age, if they are allowed to play it at all.”

BRO:

What is your favorite moment in South Florida sports?

DG: “Nebraska coach Tom Osborne’s decision to go for two points and the out-

right national title in the January 2, 1984 Orange Bowl, rather than settling for a tie against underdog Miami and leaving it up to voters. That dramatic decision set up Kenny Calhoun’s dramatic breakup and started the momentum that would allow Miami, Florida State and Florida to become giants of college football rather than outsiders.”

What would you change about the sports scene or fans in South Florida?

DG: “It would be nice if fans here unified behind any one cause rather than cheering for the favorite teams from their earlier years up north. It would be nice, but of course utterly impossible.”

THE DISH ON FOOD, WINE & RESTAURANTS

SEASONED FOR SUMMER The Atlantic Grille At The Seagate Hotel & Spa Welcomes The New Season With An Updated Menu

T

he season is changing, and so is the cuisine of the Atlantic Grille at The Seagate Hotel & Spa. Beginning in May, the restaurant’s menu will undergo a subtle transformation with an infusion of fresh, lighter, local ingredients inspired by summer in Delray Beach.

The new prix fixe menu offers seasonal favorites along with rotating monthly specials dreamed up by one CUISINE SCENE: (From Top) Sauteed Mussels; Chef Adam Gottlieb; Chicken Schnitzel with Tomato, Feta & Fennel Salad; Tropical Pancakes; Benedict Trio; Grilled Peach and Fresh Melon Arugula Salad

of the area’s finest culinary pros, Executive Chef Adam Gottlieb. This graduate of the Culinary Institute of America has won acclaim for his expertise in traditional and new-American cuisine.

Every Monday through Thursday, now through September 30, guests can try his three-course dinner for two with a bottle of wine for $33 per person. Updated menu offerings include beef tenderloin sliders with smoked Gouda and caramelized onions; fresh local snapper served sizzling from the grill; and lighter fare such as an inventive kale salad with baby beets, toasted

pecans and goat cheese.

The Atlantic Grille pays tribute to Mother’s Day with an elegant brunch featuring scones, fresh fruit salad, Eggs Benedict and tropical pancakes with an orange, pineapple, kiwi, mango and coconut compote. For a fresh take on an old favorite, there’s a Benedict Trio—a trio of lobster, crab cake and juicy tenderloin drizzled with a delicate Béarnaise. Mothers will receive a complimentary glass of Champagne or a mimosa and an exclusive gift from the Seagate Spa. All can be enjoyed against a backdrop that’s just as eclectic as the restaurant’s menu. There’s an intimate dining room lit by the glow of tranquil moon jellyfish, where sharks swim tantalizingly close to diners. Or, for those who prefer the company of humans, alfresco dining along bustling Atlantic Avenue provides ample opportunity for people watching. Regardless of the setting, Chef Gottlieb carefully oversees every detail—from the first bite of brunch to the evening’s final forkful of dessert.

The Atlantic Grille at The Seagate Hotel & Spa is located at 1000 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach. For more information, call 561-6654900 or visit theatlanticgrille.com.

IF THESE RECIPES ARE WRONG, WE DON’T WANT TO EAT RIGHT

T H E B O C A R AT O N O B S E R V E R

I

t seems politically incorrect nowadays to speak of eating anything that isn’t free of gluten, carbs, fat, sugar… taste.

Well, to heck with that. This month we’re living dangerous-

ly, embracing all the decadent starch, cream and (gasp) butter featured in Carol Hilker’s cookbook, “Dirty Foods,” packed with dishes she describes as “the best worst food you’ll ever eat.” If the following recipes are any indication—we believe!

CHICAGO-STYLE BABY BACK RIBS People get personal when it comes to their BBQ. Some like ribs rubbed with spice, dry and with no sauce. Others prefer to smother their pork in sauce. In Chicago, they enjoy a bit of both. (Makes two racks of baby back ribs) INGREDIENTS THE RUB 1 tbsp. paprika 1 tsp. celery salt 1 tsp. dark brown sugar 1 tsp. garlic powder ¼ tsp. mustard powder ¼ tsp. dried thyme ¼ tsp. white pepper ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper BBQ SAUCE 2½ cups ketchup ½ cup molasses ½ cup apple-cider vinegar ½ cup water 1 tsp. sugar ½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. pepper INSTRUCTIONS

Rub ribs with spices and let sit for 30 minutes. Preheat grill.

Cook and set over indirect medium heat until the ribs are cooked halfway—for about 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 250ºF. Pour water on a cookie sheet or in an oblong pan and place a rack into pan. Place ribs on rack and cover tightly with

aluminum foil. Bake for about two hours until done.

Remove from oven. Mix all sauce ingredients together and spread over ribs. Cover tightly again with foil and let set for 15 minutes before serving. Serve ribs with a side of extra sauce.

HAND-CUT FRIES French fries don’t need frying to be decadent.

Baking them provides excellent texture and crunch, and makes them easier to season properly. Eat these plain, along with truffle mayonnaise or dip them in ketchup. (Serves four) THIS PAGE: Hand-Cut Fries OPPOSITE PAGE: Chicago-Style Baby Back Ribs

INGREDIENTS 4 large baking potatoes ¼ cup olive oil 1 tbsp. paprika 1 tbsp. garlic pepper 1 tbsp. chili powder 1 tbsp. onion powder INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Cut potatoes into 1-inch thick wedges. Mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder and onion powder together. Coat potatoes with oil/spice mixture and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour in a preheated oven.

CREAMED CORN AND BACON The only thing tastier than corn on the cob is corn that’s creamed— and mixed with bacon.

This comfort food makes a hearty side dish. Dig in and enjoy.

(Serves four) INGREDIENTS 4-6 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped 4 ears of fresh corn, removed from cob 4 tbsp. butter, salted 2 tbsp. flour ½ cup half-and-half 4 tbsp. fresh cilantro/coriander, chopped and divided for recipe and garnish Salt and pepper, to taste INSTRUCTIONS

Cook bacon in a medium frying pan and place on a paper towel to soak up grease.

Allow bacon to cool before chopping and set aside. Remove uncooked corn from the cob and set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Whisk

Creamed Corn and Bacon BELOW: Stout Cream Soda

in the flour and then quickly whisk in the half-and-half, a little at a time so no clumps form. Stir in the bacon, corn, and cilantro/coriander. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Allow to simmer for a few minutes. Divide corn mixture onto four serving “Dirty Food” is written

STOUT CREAM SODA (Makes 18 oz.)

INGREDIENTS 2 cups cane sugar, preferably organic Juice of 1 lemon 1 tsp. vanilla paste or 1 vanilla bean split and seeded Ice cubes, for serving Soda water or stout, for serving INSTRUCTIONS

Place sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan.

Heat over medium-high heat until sugar is caramel-

ized. Carefully add 2 cups water and lemon juice; add vanilla paste or vanilla bean and seeds and bring to a boil.

Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.

Discard vanilla bean and transfer syrup to an airtight container. Syrup may be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

To serve, fill a 16 oz. glass with ice cubes and add 1 1/2 oz. syrup; top with soda or seltzer and stir to combine.

For stout: Fill a glass with ice, add 1 1/2 oz. of cream soda syrup and slowly pour stout into the glass.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING Chocolate pudding is one of the most versatile treats in the history of desserts.

In all technicality, this recipe is more of a pastry cream than a pudding—sort of a chocolate custard, if you will.

106

INGREDIENTS 2 cups milk 2 cups cream 1 egg 2 yolks 2 oz. sugar 1¼ oz. cornstarch 3 tbsp. cocoa powder 1½ oz. softened,

T H E B O C A R AT O N O B S E R V E R

unsalted butter 2 oz. Gianduja chocolate (or 72 percent chocolate) ½ tsp. vanilla extract INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium saucepan, bring milk and cream to a medium simmer. In a large,

heat-resistant bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and cocoa powder. When milk comes to a boil, slowly temper it into the egg mixture. Pour mixture into a large saucepan and cook over lowmedium heat until the

mixture reaches desired thickness. Remove from heat and add the butter, chocolate and vanilla extract.

Strain through a strainer to remove chunks or cooked egg. Serve warm or cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. O

SOUTHERN COMFORT Fork & Knife Charms With Familiar Favorites And Modern Hospitality

BY ANDREA G. ROLLIN

emember the good old days sitting around the dining room table with your family sharing a delicious home-cooked meal? Fork & Knife (F&K) in East Boca Raton recaptures that warmth and familiarity serving foods you grew up with—the ones you’ve always known and loved eating.

An impressive eclectic decor—metallic ceilings, light wood accoutrements, cobaltblue seating, stone walls and an inviting, panoramic bar— welcomed us to F&K. The sizable black and white wall photos of scenes from guests’ home cities immediately made us feel right at home.

“We call ourselves upscale-casual,” explains Scott Niskar, co-owner and operator, along with Lee Tushman. “Honest and sincere is what we’re going for.”

Niskar, Tushman, Manager Scott Heimke and Executive Chef Steven LaCroix are all Michigan transplants who know the importance of creating a warm, inviting environment that inspires F&K’s offerings.

Brunch, lunch, happy hour and dinner selections offer what the menu describes as “a fusion of recognizable classics from American grills, coffee shops, New York City diners and Detroit Coneys (hot dog eateries).”

Tasty signature dishes such as Lox, Eggs & Leeks (Nova lox and sautéed leeks scrambled with three eggs and served on potato latkes with your choice of bread) for brunch; a Three-Cheese Grilled Cheese sandwich (sharp cheddar, provolone and mozzarella cheese with

where

my dinner companion chose the homemade Brisket Pot Roast with red potatoes, carrots and roasted onions. The food was extremely fresh and the servings plentiful. The sautéed broccolini was scrumptious and the brisket was tender and savory—just like Mom used to make.

We topped off our delectable meals with a plate of oversized chocolate chip cookies stuffed with vanilla ice cream—the perfect complement.

Our only regret was that we couldn’t try all of the dishes on the menu. We’ll just have to return to F&K. Dine there, and you’ll want to as well. O

W

eekend mornings just got tastier at BRIO Tuscan Grille. The restaurant, which has six South Florida locations, including one at The Shops at Boca Center, specializes in Northern Italian cuisine and recently revamped its brunch menu. Fresh ingredients are the norm here, along with cage-free eggs, homemade biscuits and Fontanini turkey sausage. Decadent new offerings include Berries & Cream French Toast (stuffed with Mascarpone cream cheese and topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries served with a side of Applewood smoked bacon) and Ham & Biscuit Benedict (with poached eggs, Cherrywood smoked ham, a house-made biscuit and hollandaise, served with brunch potatoes). Lighter dishes include a trio of omelettes made with egg whites, veggies and more.

“Brunch is all about gathering together with friends and family, so it is important to provide plenty of options that have broad appeal,” says Head Chef and Culinary Director Matt Hardin. “Our new brunch dishes offer more flavor, value and variety for our guests.”

f a company’s longevity is a measure of its success, then J.R. Dunn Jewelers has reached the pinnacle. Since starting their company in Massachusetts in 1969, Jim and Ann Marie Dunn have offered top-of-the-line jewelry that represents quality and excellence of design, as well as unsurpassed customer service.

Jim Dunn credits his company’s longevity and success, in major part, to his long-lasting marriage. “We work together all day long and have been married 45 years,” he says.

Ann Marie Dunn adds, “The strongest suit we have is the passion and love for the jewelry business. This

was just a dream of ours.

We really wanted to create our own destiny and succeed—we stayed with it through thick and thin.”

The couple was fortunate enough to have their son, Sean, join them in 1996 to carry on the family tradition, as well as

MAY 17 Cher was reinventing herself long before Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Madonna arrived on the music scene. Indeed, for the past four decades the dark-haired singer, actress, comedian and sex symbol has kept the public enthralled with her flashy style, string of romances and take-no-prisoners attitude. The daughter of a truck driver and an aspiring actress, Cheryl Sarkisian was born in El Centro, Calif. She quit high school at 16 to pursue show biz, met Sonny Bono in 1962, married him and in 1965 the ubiquitous song duo Sonny & Cher was a smash. They eventually divorced, and Cher would proceed to win Oscar, Emmy and Grammy awards. The 68-year-old diva, who has a birthday on May 20, is still going strong.

Catch her 7:30 p.m. show, which is part of her “Dressed To Kill� Tour, at the BB&T Center, where her special guest will be Cyndi Lauper.

Rotary Club Includes Women In Its Mission To Raise Funds For Scholarships BY EMILY J. MINOR hen local businessman Jon Kaye talks to people about one of Boca Raton’s six Rotary Club chapters, he sets them straight right away.

“This is not your father’s Rotary,” Kaye likes to say.

That is, women are now an integral part of the 2014 organization once known for its men-centric membership, and today there are chapters worldwide.

We’ve all heard of the Rotary, right?

That club where our fathers and

Rotary Club of Boca Raton, which was started in 1957. Since then, five other clubs have formed—most recently Rotary Club of Downtown Boca Raton in 2012.

“They all have totally different missions but they all raise money for scholarships,” explains Kaye, owner of his own public relations firm and a founding member of the Downtown chapter. “Many people don’t realize there are plenty of underprivileged students here in Boca Raton. We really look for the stu-

grandfathers used to go for breakfast meetings at the local diner? Our civicminded predecessors raised money for school scholarships, reminding each other that together, they could make a difference. They also used the time away from their families to recharge themselves with male fellowship.

But since Chicago attorney Paul P. Harris started the club in 1905, summoning three other city businessmen to help with the idea of a men’s club that would do good, the club has gone global. It still does all the things it did during those formative years, plus a whole lot more. Today, Rotary International boasts 34,000 chapters and has 1.2 million members.

Nearly 300 of those members are in the city of Boca Raton and surrounding suburbs.

Boca Raton’s original club is the 144

dents who need the help.”

While each local club handles a different community project, the overall impetus is the same as it has always been, and Rotary Clubs in the United States are a 501(c)(4).

“These are people who have the same interests and want to do good

for the community that we may not have been able to do on our own,” says Kaye, who believes the best part of being a Rotarian is that members can make community contributions.

In Rotary, there is strength in numbers.

Of course, back in the day when

Rotarians sported crew cuts and drove to their breakfast meetings in baby blue Impalas, the women stepped aside, making friends with other wives, planning projects the ladies could do on the side.

Today, women are a vibrant part of the global Rotary membership and leadership, and have been since the early 1980s.

“We’ve had women presidents and have very active women members,” Kaye says. “Today we’re full of diversity.” O For information about all Rotary Clubs in Southeast Florida, call Jon Kaye at 561-392-5166 or visit rotary6930.org.
