NOVEMBER 2013 

THANKSGIVING 

Being grateful is said to be the key for an abundant 

life. This month we celebrate a tradition dating back to 

the early settlers of our country. It is a time when all 

immigrants and natives alike can show appreciation for 

the chance to live in a country founded on principles of 

opportunity and freedom. Sure, it’s a great time to get 

together with family and friends or to watch football while 

getting ready for the holidays. This year, Chanukah begins 

the night before Thanksgiving and it appears the holiday 

season is well under way. 

Speaking of holidays, our feature story this month 

has some great gift giving ideas. Kavita Channe is our 

extraordinary cover girl, showing off some fabulous 

jewels and clothes for the naughty and nice. Kavita is also 

a fan favorite on the sidelines as well. Check her out on 

facebook or follow her on twitter. 

Another holiday I encourage everyone to remember is 

Veterans Day on the 19th. If there is one group deserving 

of our gratitude, it is those who serve, served or paid the 

ultimate price for our freedom. Too many times we take 

for granted our ability to celebrate every occasion without 

concern for our security. So, find some way to show your 

appreciation and respect for the men and women who 

served our nation. 

A friend recently started a website to honor vets one last 

time. Here is the site, should you be inclined to support 

the cause. www.honorflightsouthfl.org. 

Lastly, it will be fifty years since the John F. Kennedy 

assassination on the 22nd. JFK was a President whose 

ideals transcended time, regardless of party affiliation, and 

his inspiration took us beyond our imagination as a nation. 

It is my hope those in Washington will rekindle his spirit 

and work together to keep our country great and drive us 

to limitless opportunities.

Asteroid Ancestry 

Fort Lauderdale astronomer cracks a 200-year-old puzzle 

It may not be the most life-altering discovery, but Fort Lauderdale astronomer 

Clifford Cunningham has uncovered the true creator of the word ‘asteroid.’ 

Cunningham’s research revealed that William Herschel, 

the famed court astronomer for King George III, 

did not coin the term as our science textbooks 

claim. Rather it was the son of a poet friend 

of Herschel’s—Greek scholar Charles Burney 

Jr.—who invented the word. 

Asteroid actually means “star-like” in 

Greek. Cunningham, a world authority on 

asteroids, uncovered two letters at Yale University 

that indisputably proved that Burney Jr. came up with 

the term. Cunningham’s findings will affect future science 

textbooks and is already being reviewed by the editors of 

Encyclopaedia Britannica. “We have a big revision of our 

asteroid article in the works,” says Erik Gregersen, senior 

editor for astronomy and space exploration at the 

Encyclopedia. “To be accurate, the etymology of the 

word might have to credit this other fellow.” 

School for Thought 

HCA and NSU announce a new kind of health center 

In what he called “a transformational day in our university’s history,” Nova 

Southeastern University president George Hanbury recently announced 

the anchor tenant for the school’s new Academical Village: A “Jeffersonian 

concept” of scholars and students living and working closely together to 

combine theory and practice. 

The anchor tenant for this educational Utopia will be a 100-bed HCA 

teaching hospital, which 

will operate in conjunction 

with Nova’s medical school. 

It will be the foundation for 

NSU’s Academical Village, 

which will ultimately 

include more than 3 million 

square feet of space. The 

teaching hospital will tie in 

“the research and academic 

component into our scope 

of care to patients,” says 

Michael Joseph, President 

and CEO of HCA East 

Florida, which operates 14 

South Florida hospitals.

A Hero’s 

Home 

Standard Pacific Homes 

and Helping-a-Hero reward 

an Army veteran 

When Army Staff Sgt. Brian Mast 

decided to settle in Broward County 

after returning home, he did so because 

of happy memories from childhood 

vacations in Fort Lauderdale. He 

also did not want to deal with the icy 

surfaces up north, having lost both 

legs in Afghanistan. 

Coming to the rescue was national 

non-profit Helping-A-Hero and 

Standard Pacific Homes, which broke 

ground last month on a $450,000 

home in their Watercrest community 

in Parkland. For a $50,000 mortgage, 

Sgt. Mast will be given the home, 

customized for his special needs. 

Helping-a-Hero donated $100,000, 

a ‘specially adapted’ federal housing 

grant covered $67,000, and Standard 

Pacific Homes donated the land. The 

rest comes from in-kind donations by 

Standard’s suppliers and vendors. 

“When we started talking to the 

vendors about this, they were all 

excited to help,” says Dan Grosswald, 

president of the South Florida division 

of Standard Pacific. “I met [Sgt. Mast 

and his wife] and they were very 

thankful. But we should be thanking 

them, not the other way around. This 

has been very rewarding for everyone 

participating.” 

Helping a Hero (HelpingaHero.org) 

has funded 90 homes in 21 states 

for veterans so far, says National 

Chairman Meredith Iler. Two more 

homes in Florida will be awarded this 

month at the organization’s national 

gala in Houston Nov. 12.

Dr. Man’s natural 

looking facelift 

Since facelift results are highly visible, you should look and 

feel younger and rejuvenated but not different. A desirable 

post facelift look is the one that is so natural that even the 

closest to you will have a hard time figuring out what was 

done. Dr. Man’s natural looking facelift is designed to 

tighten the facial muscles and sagging skin with no visible 

incisions or distortion of the hair line. Dr. Man’s natural 

looking face lift also improves the jowl line and provides a 

more pleasant contour of the face, giving you a youthful, 

radiant appearance that will keep everyone guessing.

Keeping 

PACE 

with the 

Eco Times 

County adopts a new 

energy-saving program 

Fewer 

Puppies? 

New permit puts breeders on a short leash 

Broward is raining cats and dogs these days, spawning not only too many 

abandoned pets, but numerous adoption agencies as well. To stem the tide, the 

county commission has passed a new law requiring anyone who wants to breed to 

purchase a permit from the county. Among other restrictions, breeding rights will 

be denied to those known to have abused animals. 

There is some debate over the new regulations in the local breeding community. 

The law, meant to restrict irresponsible reproduction, may end up just penalizing 

those who breed conscientiously. Those intended to be punished—operators of socalled 

puppy mills—will probably skirt the new law. Nor does it necessarily protect 

our four-legged chums from irresponsible pet owners who still abandon animals 

when it suits them. Still, one paw at a time. 

Shorter Voting Lines? 

Broward to spend $8 million on voting gear 

Anyone who had to endure the excruciating lines during the last presidential 

election knows why Broward was ridiculed nationwide. In some cases, voters had 

to wait four, five and even six hours to 

cast their ballots. Not a good way to run 

a democracy. 

The good news is that county elections 

supervisor Brenda Snipes recently 

disclosed a plan to spend $8 million on 

new voting equipment. The original 

proposal called for $16.8 million, but the 

county balked at the price, having already 

spent millions on touch-screen voting 

machines—only to have to return to paper 

ballots amid controversy over the accuracy 

of the machines. 

This time, Snipes negotiated with the 

county and cut her request in half, with 

plans to use part of the money on 600 new 

DS-200 ballot scanners, 2,000 new voting 

booths and 38 ballot printers to be used in the early voting sites. Voters will see a 

difference, says Snipes. Last year, many filed into packed polling places only to find 

a single ballot scanner servicing the entire crowd. 

The problem with installing 

energy efficient devices is that they 

take so long to pay for themselves. 

A new national program has been 

crafted to solve that problem for 

homeowners. 

Broward County has now 

approved the so-called PACE 

program (Property Assessed Clean 

Energy). This allows property 

owners to install energy efficient 

improvements such as insulation, 

solar panels and high-efficiency 

air conditioners, and incorporate 

the cost into their yearly property 

taxes. The program relies on 

private companies to provide the 

financing—i.e. your mortgage 

holder—while the county is 

responsible for collecting and 

repaying the money. 

The only glitch is that it may 

make it harder to sell your house, 

since the new owners will have 

to continue paying for your new 

appliances with their ongoing 

property taxes. Mortgage holders 

aren’t thrilled, either. As an 

alternative funding source, the 

county will work with Energy Fund 

Florida and EcoCity Partners.

Urban 

Kayaking 

Deep in the heart of urban Broward 

County lies adventure on The Middle River 

By Ivette Figueroa 

The day wouldn’t be called pleasant by any 

beach-goer: Overcast skies and a steady 

breeze. But it was perfect for paddling around 

Wilton Manors, where I arrived with a group 

of friends to rent watercraft from the Atlantic Coast 

Kayak Company. 

Wilton Manors, located between Fort Lauderdale 

and Oakland Park, is known as the “Island City” since 

it is surrounded by a 7-mile loop of the Middle River. 

Although the river can look more like a canal running 

through a middle class neighborhood, there are mild 

tidal currents and a winding course that let you know 

it’s the real thing. 

Atlantic Coast operates from a wooden dock at 

Richardson Historic Park, where you can rent kayaks 

for a 90-minute ‘loop’ journey. It seemed like just long 

enough for a bunch of first-timers. Proprietor Kenny 

Myers, an avid fisherman and outdoorsman, offers 

tours of the natural life on the Middle River. We opted instead for a solo journey, with a 

crash course on the basics of kayaking and a laminated 

map of the route. 

Almost immediately we took a wrong turn and had 

to double back, laughing at our inability 

to read a simple, non-iPhone map. As 

my paddling became less choppy, we 

started to look for the critters that 

Kenny told us about. 

Much of the trip borders on parkland 

with towering mangroves that cage in 

sections of the water with their tangled 

roots. Fish teemed in the brackish waters, 

breaking the surface every so often. 

Ospreys and herons patrolled the grassy 

banks and cormorants sunned their dark 

feathers on branches of low-hanging trees. As we paddled on, we played a 

game of who could spot the most iguanas. Dozens of these vibrantly colored 

reptiles stalked the edges of the river. 

About halfway through the 7-mile loop we stopped at Island City Park Preserve 

for a picnic lunch—and to feed some ducks that followed us from the river. Keen 

to reach a hidden lagoon Kenny told us about, we set off again with renewed vigor. 

Our passageway to this enclave was narrow, crowded with knotted mangrove 

roots and glistening spider webs. We had already ducked under bridges and 

railroad tracks, but this was something else—a limbo under the metal pipes of a 

bridge that sealed off the area. But we made it, true adventurers, rs, to our own slice of 

secret Broward!

Fashion 

in store style 

It’s mix and match for the season at L&L on 

Sunrise 

By Denise Stirk 

Photography By Matt Lagrotte 

When it comes to fashion in South Florida, it’s a bit of a 

jungle out there. Luckily, Michelle DiMarco and Kelli 

Krystynak navigate the emerging trends, bringing the 

best of the best into their unassuming Fort Lauderdale 

shop: Lilac and Lilies. 

Neither messes around when it comes to fashion. DiMarco is a FIT 

grad and celebrity stylist, while Krystynak has her degree in Fashion 

Merchandising from Kent State University. From Krystynak’s House 

of Harlow chunky gold accessories to DiMarco’s dazzling Parker 

shirt, it’s apparent why the pair’s keen eye for style has blossomed 

L&L into a hot local boutique. Before the duo hopped a flight to 

Vegas for market week (where the chicest stores go to find the 

coolest threads), they gave a few tips for staying cool while living in 

some of the hottest zip codes. 

Are there any trends you’re obsessed with this season? 

M I’m a big fan of wearing a tailored blazer, so I’m obsessing over 

tuxedo inspired dressing. 

K I am loving the trend of mixing and matching patterns together 

in one outfit. It looks amazing. I’ve also been seeing a lot of skirts— 

all different lengths and styles, so lady like.

Which fad will you never give in to? 

M Crocs!!!! 

I never say never. 

K 

What’s your favorite item at Lilac and Lilies right now? 

M Love anything by Mara Hoffman. Her tribal prints are 

amazing! She really knows how to construct a garment so that it’s 

complimentary to the female shape. 

K I’m obsessed with anything House of Harlow. The Sunburst 

pendant necklace is my favorite and I never take it off. 

What is the most worn thing in your closet? 

M My Valentino Rockstud Slingbacks. 

A white v-neck tee. So classic. Dress it up or dress it down. 

K 

Share your number one fashion tip. 

M Our mission statement at L&L is, “To inspire and connect with 

our clients to put their best selves forward everyday.” So, my one 

fashion tip is to dress for you and in what makes you feel most 

confident, regardless of trends or fads. 

My number one fashion tip is to love what you wear.

Home Rise 

Single-family home prices in South Florida 

continue to improve, even though interests are on the 

rise as well. And there’s more to come. 

By Darcie Lunsford 

Mortgage interest rates keep going up * …. 

But so do median housing prices in South Florida… ** 

5% 

* 

30-year fixed rate 

** 

Single-family homes 

Interest Rates 

Median Housing Prices 

300000 

Home sales in South Florida—and across the state—are 

becoming the economic version of the Man of Steel. Not 

even interest rates moving faster than a speeding bullet 

seem able to put a chink in their armor. 

August marked the 20th consecutive month that the price of 

a single-family home was higher than it was the same month the 

previous year. The median price for a single-family home in South 

Florida jumped 21 percent year-over-year to hit $254,000, according 

to Florida Realtors data. Prices on condos and townhomes in August 

told a similar story of resilience and rebound, rising 35 percent to 

$139,000. 

But August also marked the seventh consecutive month that 

interest rates on the all-important 30-year fixed mortgage jogged up. 

In fact, as of August, interest rates had soared more than a 

percentage point since January, fueled largely by Ben Bernanke and 

other Fed officials hemming and hawing that the Fed could—and 

eventually will have to—stop its $85 billion a month bond-buying 

program. 

When the Fed does stop snapping up mortgage-backed and 

Treasury securities, bond values will fall and interest rates will rise 

some more. In today’s post-traumatic-recession environment just 

the mere mention that the Fed may taper these asset purchases is 

enough to send the Dow toppling and mortgage rates surging. 

In South Florida, meanwhile, the housing market continues to 

shine, far below the daunting macro-economic storm clouds. 

“It is still a very good time to buy,” says Doug Leever, mortgage 

sales manager of Miramar-based Tropical Financial Credit Union. 

“People who have their finances in order are ready to buy.” 

Demand for new mortgages at Tropical Financial has nearly 

doubled since last year, Leever says. And he doesn’t see that stopping 

even though he does expect, “rates to continue to trickle up.” 

Sustained demand despite more expensive borrowing costs? It 

makes sense when you put today’s market in context. 

Rates and home values are still well below where they were at the 

market peak in 2006. In 2006, for instance, the average mortgage rate 

was 6.4 percent and the median price of single-family home in South 

Florida was hovering around $400,000. Today, rates and home prices 

remain about a third lower. 

“I think some buyers are feeling like they missed the boat,” says 

Joanne McKeage, an agent with Coldwell Banker in Fort Lauderdale. 

“But home prices are still under-valued and prices are going to go 

up. Interest rates are still historically low.”

Vasti Amaro, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Keolis Transit 

America on the allure of tee times, transit and Alliance success. 

Successful leaders take a decidedly passionate view of their lives and world. 

Discover what moves Vasti Amaro. 


“In three words: sports, golf, the beach. I’m a native of Las Olas Boulevard 

and spend a great deal of time shopping and dining there.” 

Why transit hooked me: 

“I was raised using the transit system. In college, I found my way around 

Tampa using transit and became an employee of the Hillsborough Area 

Regional Transit Authority. I took the job because I understood its value as 

a transit user.” 

My climb up the career ladder: 

“I came up the ranks through the industry association called Advancing 

Women In Transportation (WTS), which is all about transforming the 

transit system through the advancement of women. I graduated from 

their leadership program and became a national board member. It 

formed my future.” 

My couldn’t-miss opportunity: 

“I was hired by a 30-year-old Fort Lauderdale company called Limousines of 

South Florida because of my experience in the business. They needed help 

restructuring the company for possible acquisition. Keolis Transit, based in 

France, chose us to make its first foray into the U.S. market in 2011 and the 

rest is history.” 


“I can honestly say that after speaking with the Alliance, I recognized it was 

the organization that would be the key to our success in having an impact 

on the transit system in Broward County. “ 

Keolis Transit America operates the bus service for Fort Lauderdale- 

Hollywood International Airport and the Sun Trolley, connecting tourists 

and locals throughout downtown and the beaches.

Community 

Urban 

farming 

Neighbors meet nature in Ft. Lauderdale’s new 

community garden 

By Ivette Figueroa 

TThe concept of urban agriculture has already sprouted in 

cities like New York, Los Angeles and even Miami Beach, 

where citizens can grow their own food in neighborhood 

plots. In Broward County, however, the idea has not taken 

root, perhaps because we haven’t had the kind of urban density that 

robs residents of green space. 

That has now changed, with the launching of a new urban garden 

on a small plot of church land in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s 

Flagler Village. The brainchild of community organizer Chad Scott, 

The Flagler Community Garden now has a home on Northeast 3rd 

Avenue between 4th and 5th streets. 

The idea for the garden began in 2009, when a coalition of 

Flagler Village residents received permission from a local developer 

to cultivate a vacant lot. In early 2011, however, the land was 

foreclosed on and cleared. 

“I was inspired by that and was thinking how I could restart 

that garden,” says Chad, president of the nonprofit Flagler Garden 

Project. “I was an auditor for seven years, but I wanted to do 

something fun and new. So I went into real estate so that everything 

I did could also benefit the community,” says the Broward native 

who also lives in Flagler Village. 

Long before the Garden Project, Chad was a champion of civic 

duty, participating in neighborhood cleanups and city events. 

He used local connections to find a new home for the garden. “I 

connected with churches—one of which told me they had a vacant 

house with a plot of land.” That was the First Evangelical Lutheran 

Rows of potted plants line the entrance to Flagler Garden. 

Chad Scott, President of the 

Flagler Garden Project 

Church of Fort Lauderdale and Pastor Paul Pfadenhauer. 

Chad gathered volunteers and sponsors, and hosted 

charity events such as The Night Owl Market in June—a 

craft fair co-sponsored by the Flagler Garden and FAT 

Village Artwalk. With additional funds donated by Whole 

Foods and other local businesses, the project broke 

ground in September. 

When finished, the garden will incorporate 79 4x4-foot 

raised garden plots, along with paths, compost bins, rain 

barrels and hanging garden areas. A refurbished building 

on the plot will offer events and workshops. 

“Even though we have a very small plot (65,000sq ft.), 

the space is maximized,” says Chad. “Some people don’t 

have backyards and this is another way to get outdoors 

and connect with your neighbors and nature.” Of the 

79 plots, 10 will be earmarked for nearby schools and 

colleges for gardening and environmental classes. 

“We hope that our continued support of Flagler Garden 

will provide the residents of Fort Lauderdale with a space 

of their own to relax and know their neighbors, while 

also educating the children of the city on the beauty of 

seeing food grow and eating healthier,” says Whole Foods 

spokesperson Marcea Cazel.

The Art 

of Museum 

Making 

Twenty-seven years ago, Mindy Shrago decided 

she wanted to create an art museum for the 

children of Broward County, especially those who 

lived in the west. It is now considered one of the 

top few—if not the best—of its kind in the nation. 

By JULIE KAY 

photo By downtownphoto/fort lauderdale 

It’s a Sunday morning at the Young at Art Children’s 

Museum, and a string of parents bearing gifts starts 

streaming in the door for the bevy of birthday parties 

that will ensue all day. 

Mindy Shrago, the creator, founder and CEO of the 

museum, is there to greet them all with her ever-present 

smile. With seemingly boundless energy she flies from room 

to room, chatting up employees and student volunteers 

while giving visitors a tour of the 55,000-square foot 

museum she created from dust starting 27 years ago. 

After a magazine photo shoot, Shrago meets a potential 

well-heeled donor—the cousin of U.S. Sen. Debbie 

Wasserman-Schultz—to give his family a personal 

pottery lesson. Then she’s off to a lunch with the head 

of the Association of Children’s Museums, who’s in town 

for a tour of local institutions. 

It may be hard for visitors to believe a self-described 

young hippie artist and her mother dreamed up the 

vision for a unique museum that draws visitors from 

around the country—and then singlehandedly raised 

the $26 million of funding, donor by donor. But Shrago 

is nonchalant about that. She steers all conversations 

back to the museum, and her life’s passion: Art. 

“We never had a strategic plan,” shrugs Shrago, 

60. “We just shot from the hip. We believe arts are 

involved in every aspect of your life.” 

Shrago was a successful Fort Lauderdale 

pottery artist when she and her mother, Esther 

Shrago, hatched the idea for a children’s museum 

dedicated to the arts. The Miami native had 

won best of show at the prestigious Las Olas 

Art Festival and was an acclaimed artist in the 

1970s and 1980s. But she wanted to do more. 

She, along with her mother, wanted to instill her 


passion for art in children, and to spread the gospel of the 

healing nature of art to disadvantaged youths. 

In the mid 1980s, mother and daughter traveled the 

country visiting childrens’ museums, only to discover 

there were none that focused solely on art. So in 1987 the 

two incorporated Young 

at Art and two years later 

opened their first museum 

in a 3,500-square-foot 

storefront donated by The 

Fountains shopping center 

in Plantation. 

For Shrago, a Hollywood 

resident, it was important 

to locate her museum in 

suburban west Broward, 

home to tens of thousands 

of families but short on 

culture. Married to then 

Broward Circuit Judge Jay 

Spechler, Shrago had some 

powerful friends in Broward 

County, which helped. She 

had served as her husband’s 

campaign manager when he 

ran for state representative 

in 1974, and found she had 

a gift for fundraising. 

“We had political ties,” 

she acknowledges. “We 

were able to get a lot of 

in-kind donations. I love 

fundraising... talking about 

my passion.” 

Says Spechler: “I’ve 

always been involved in 

politics and she has as well. She’s known and met everyone 

in the community and has been a part of Broward County 

her whole life along with me. We’ve integrated art and 

politics.” 

Shrago’s first fundraising success was cold-calling 

Plantation-based American Express. She secured a check 

for $10,000. At the time, the arts were being slashed in 

public schools. Shrago began to feel it was her mission to 

replace whatever arts the children were losing in school 

with her museum. 

“Arts are what teach you about every subject matter,” she 

says. “They integrate math, science, history. Kids can learn 

about measurements from a sculpture.” 

Shrago was also an early advocate of recycling and ecology. 

She made sure to incorporate lessons on these topics in 

her museum, always in a fun way. Another steadfast goal 

was to focus on teaching art to the kids, not just showing 

it. By 1991, the museum began offering studio art classes 

for children, taught by professional artists. Scholarships, 

underwritten by corporate and foundation partners, were 

offered to children in need. 

A key early supporter of Shrago’s mission was Broward 

County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish. “Basically, Mindy 


Mindy Shargo is the creator, founder and CEO of the 

Young At Art Museum—voted the “Best Children’s Art 

Museum in the Nation” by Child Magazine. 

and her mom created the concept of Young at Art at Mindy’s 

kitchen table,” recalls Parrish. “I think it just evolved from 

there. Mindy is a free-spirited liberal soul and she’s always 

been interested in helping children from lower socioeconomic 

backgrounds become exposed to the arts. I 

just think Mindy wanted 

everyone to love art like 

she did.” 

Parrish said it took a 

while for corporate donors 

to warm up to Shrago. 

Parrish encouraged her to 

start a “Women of Vision” 

fundraising auxiliary, 

asking 100 women to give 

$1,000 a year, with Shrago 

matching the donation 

four-fold. The Women of 

Vision auxiliary was formed 

in 1995 and was highly 

successful. Parrish would 

also nudge corporations 

like Wheelabrator and 

Broward philanthropists 

like Maya Ezratti, Director 

of Community Relations 

at GL Homes, to become 

donors. 

In 1998, with a grant 

from the Broward County 

Cultural Division, Young 

at Art moved to its second 

location—a 23,000-square 

foot storefront in west 

Davie. In keeping with the 

mission of encouraging kids 

to create art themselves, the museum featured lots of handson 

arts and crafts projects. In one area, kids could learn 

about various countries like Japan by seeing a short film, 

sitting in a pagoda, and then creating their own morikami 

art. In another area, kids would become archaelogists and 

dig for relics in the sands of Egypt with tiny shovels. They 

would get their “passports” stamped in each country. 

The museum started garnering national attention. In 

2002, Young At Art was named “Best Children’s Art Museum 

in the Nation” by Child magazine. It was also about this time 

that Shrago embarked on her mission to bring what she 

sees as ‘healing art’ to disadvantaged youths. She began an 

“artreach” program where artists would teach art to kids 

at a homeless shelter every day after school. Now, a new 

“Arthouse” is under construction in a low-income duplex 

in the Sistrunk neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. “We want 

to make sure we’re touching every community member,” 

Shrago says. “It takes a village, remember.” 

But Shrago still wasn’t satisfied. She wanted a permanent 

home for Young at Art, an utterly “green” building designed 

by her and a hand-picked architect, one that would 

incorporate generous space for exhibits, artist studios, 

pottery rooms and outdoor kiln, a computer animation lab,

ecording studio and computer lab for 

graphic design and gaming, birthday 

party rooms, a volunteer lounge area 

and a cafe and gift shop. 

The solution came in 2006 when 

Shrago signed a partnership with 

Broward County to build a Young 

at Art Museum that also housed a 

Broward County Library Children’s 

Reading Center. An exhaustive capital 

campaign raised more than half of the 

$21 million needed, while Broward 

County contributed $5 million. The 

Knights Foundation Arts Challenge 

awarded Shrago a $500,000 grant. 

The 11-acre building opened at 

State Road 84 and Northwest 121st 

Avenue in Davie in 2012. Mindy’s 

mother retired shortly afterwards. 

“The partnership with Broward 

County Libraries created a synergy 

that merged literacy with art,” Shrago 

says. “And the library is open seven 

days a week, so there is no dead space 

on weekends.” 

Shrago used her charm to persuade 

experts from some of the nation’s 

finest museums, including The Getty, 

Museum of Modern Art in New York, 

Noguchi Museum, Museum for African 

Art, Chicago Children’s Museum and 

Brooklyn Museum of Art, to convene in 

a symposium to help cook up a master 

plan of exhibits for the museum. Janet 

Rice Elman, executive director of the 

Association of Children’s Museums, 

called the efforts of Shrago and her 

mother “simply astounding.” 

The Young at Art Museum features the finest, state-of-the-art studios for ceramics, 

printmaking, cartooning, photography, mixed media, drawing and painting. 

“To have founders who opened a 

museum—and this is now the third 

location—and see it through three 

different capital campaigns is very 

unusual,” says Elman. “I cannot 

think of another example in the field 

of founders who founded and refounded 

a museum. I think these 

two women had sheer determination 

and unbelievable vision and drive to 

push this forward.” After touring the 

newest incarnation of the museum 

recently, Elman called it “fantastic… 

I love the way the library is nestled in 

the middle of the museum. Libraries 

are traditionally community gathering 

places, so it all makes sense.” 

If there is one person not surprised 

by Shrago’s accomplishments, it’s her 

husband who is now a mediator. “Art 

has always been Mindy’s passion,” 

says Spechler. “She eats, drinks and 

sleeps Young at Art. I supported her 

100 percent.” 

Indeed, the entire family is 

passionate about art; the couple’s 

two children, Ali and Zack, are both 

artists. Shrago and her husband 

have a sizeable art collection in their 

Hollywood Lakes house as well as in 

their Manhattan home. 

A workaholic who wakes up at 5:30 

a.m. daily, Shrago has few interests 

outside of art. She recently vacationed 

in Italy with her husband, where she 

viewed plenty of artwork, and spends 

her days off at art museums. She 

recently visited the Norton Museum 

of Art in West Palm Beach. A friend 

texted her to see where she was. 

“I’m at a museum,” she responded. 

“Art heals.” 


DINING 

Butcher Block Grill 

Is there such a thing as a healthy carnivore? Butcher Block Grill goes deliciously native not 

only with its seafood and greens, but with its meat as well. 

By Randi Aileen Press, Dining Duchess 

The Veal Tomahawk 

Chop with grilled 

asparagus, roasted garlic 

asiago mashed potatoes 

and onion rings. 

Food like art is subjective. But 

I know when I experience fare 

prepared by a true artisan 

chef. And this is clearly the 

case with Executive Chef Joshua 

Hedquist of The Butcher Block Grill. 

Formerly of The Max Group, 

Big Time Restaurant Group and 

Todd English’s De Campo Oesteria, 

Hedquist believes in more than just 

providing phenomenal cuisine. His 

commitment to providing guests 

with quality, naturally-sustainable 

and locally-farmed food is part 

of a movement of conscientious 

restaurateurs and chefs offering a 

responsible and high quality product. 

Few restaurants can make the claim 

that the meat and poultry served are 

antibiotic- and hormone-free, and 

humanely raised on a vegetarian 

diet. In layman’s terms, this means 

that the food is ‘natural’ in the most 

basic sense, raised free of anything 

artificial. The seafood is likewise wildcaught 

and locally sourced, while the 

produce is grown pesticide-free on 

Florida farms. The Butcher Block

products in the region. 

Start your meal with a unique 

tableside presentation of the warm 


mozzarella appetizer. It’s fun to watch 

and worth the 90 seconds from prep 

to plate. The server starts with the 

cheese curd, adds 190-degree water 

and hand pulls the mozzarella until a 

velvety texture is reached. I’ve never 

seen this anywhere else in my travels. 

Yellow and red heirloom tomatoes, 

micro basil, organic olive oil and vin 

cotto (translated as “cooked wine”) 

make a mozzarella-lover want to keep 

this plate all to themselves. Share it 

though, and order the super lump 

crab cake as well. The crust on the 

outside is weightless and the crab is 

select. 

The meat choices are plentiful. 

Sizes and cuts range from a twelveounce 

New York Strip to a twenty-four 

ounce cowboy Rib-Eye. For those 

with an appetite there’s a thirty-two 

ounce Porterhouse steak, and if you 

enjoy filet mignon, a six and ten ounce 

center cut is available. All steaks are 

served with red wine demi (sauce), 

hand cut malt vinegar steak fries (of 

course) and butcher butter (a rich 

butter made from the trimmings of 

the steak); the chef loves to use as 

much of the animal as possible, and 

the butcher butter compliments the 

outstanding flavor of the meat. You 

will leave nothing on your plate. It is 

first-class all the way. 

The Veal Tomahawk Chop had me 

from the moment 

I set eyes on the 

plate. The large 

onion ring wrapped 

around the bone is 

accompanied with 

grilled asparagus, 

roasted garlic asiago 

mashed potatoes 

(divine!) and touched 

with saltimbocca 

sauce. This first cut 

of the loin chop was 

juicy and tender, and 

the taste astonishing. 

And I refused to share 

the crispy onion ring 

even though it could 

have served three.

be yours alone.

candy. The scrumptious taste is 

enhanced by heirloom tomato butter 

sauce, fresh thyme and shallots, and 

augmented by roasted fingerlings and 

asparagus. The texture was smooth 

but firm. The local snapper served 

is also worthy, with sweet corn, 

heirloom bean succotash, corn nage 

and saffron oil elevating this dish. (In 

case you aren’t familiar with the term 

“nage,” it is a flavored liquid usually 

made for poaching delicate foods.)

there is plenty of seating outside with

rain drives you indoors, the food will 

soothe any discomfort.

LET’S GET ENGAGED! 

HOW TO ATTRACT CLIENTS 

TO YOUR COMPANY’S 

SOCIAL MEDIA AND KEEP 

THEM THERE

South Florida public relations, 

advertising and social media 

marketing fi rms know a few simple 

rules for website engagement: 

Content must be constant, current 

and on topic. 

What does this mean? If you want 

your blog to get indexed by the search 

engines (a process called search 

engine optimization, or SEO) and 

then found and read by prospective 

clients, your content must be… 

• Constant. You must blog or 

refresh your content areas all the time. 

Blogging and website management 

don’t exist under some “set it and 

forget it” marketing practice. Once 

a week is the minimum to keep the 

search engines happy. Twice a week 

or more is even better. 

• Current. It should be up to date 

with the latest news relevant to 

your industry. If you notice that the 

news is reporting that people are 

searching for a popular new line of 

purple peaches, then your boutique 

specialty food market had better be 

blogging about purple peaches, and 

then sharing those posts on your 

Facebook, Twitter and other social 

media. 

• On topic. On the other hand, if 

you run a South Florida law fi rm or 

a national accounting practice, or 

an upscale shopping mall, then your 

audience likely isn’t coming to your 

site to learn about purple peaches. 

But they will be coming to your site 

– or one like it – for information on 

legal or accounting issues, or for 

news, trends or inquiries about the 

latest fashions. 

One of the high-level fi ndings of a 

recent Google Benchmarking Report 

noted that content is vital to customer 

engagement online. According to one 

report, it’s important to “Focus on 

compelling content. When it comes 

to creating content for your site, 

what’s the cardinal rule? Don’t be 

boring. Whatever business you and 

your clients are in, there are always 

inventive ways to make the topics 

more interesting,’ the report’s author 

noted. Use your imagination. Get 

creative. Use stories and personal 

anecdotes to make content come 

alive.” 

At Boardroom Communications, 

our clients have the power of 

“engagement” of social media. 

Those companies that handle their 

own social media also know the 

importance of the three rules – 

creating content that is constant, 

current and on topic. 

Adhere to them, and Google – and 

your customers – will notice, and 

return.

effective and done in our offi ce! 

The procedure, called NeoGraft, 

it is quickly becoming the Gold 

standard in hair restoration for both 

men and women. By relocating your 

own growing hair, this high tech 

procedure is virtually undetectable. 

There is no “strip cutting”, scalpel 

incision, sutures or linear scars, all 

telltale signs you had a transplant! 

We can effectively treat thinning 

hair anywhere, including male pattern 

baldness and restoring receding 

hairlines. We can treat large areas, 

with up to 10,000 hairs in ONE 

session. We can even artistically 

fi ll in missing or thinning eyebrows. 

Enjoy the quickest healing time of any 

procedure and be back to work in 24

place to another. It is the least invasive 

procedure of its kind. 

NeoGraft has the fastest recovery 

time, which is the “next day,” of 

any surgical hair transplant option. 

It reduces the need for additional 

procedures as the viability of each hair 

follicle is dramatically increased with 

this new procedure! We will simply 

relocate your genetically programmed 

hairs that will always grow, without 

the need to harvest and cut a 6” by 

1” strip. There is NO MORE LONG- 

TERM itching, scratching and redness 

and long healing time associated with 

cutting that strip. The healing time 

with NeoGraft is about 80% faster 

than the OLD antiquated method! We 

can give you your youthful head of hair 

back or even make it thicker than ever!

MIKE A. ZUBERO 

Agent Principal 

President, Triton Insurance Group 

Proudly Offering Coverage Statewide 

866.400.7674 

www.Tritonagency.com 

mzubero@tritonagency.com 

Browsing the internet you may 

have noticed links or ads offering 

information about “how to save 

money on auto Insurance”. If you are 

like me you may have followed these 

links only to fi nd that there is in fact 

no information about buying auto 

insurance simply the offer to quote 

your coverage. My clients have often 

asked me this same question. After 

20 years of working with hundreds 

carriers here are the secrets about 

buying auto insurance. 

First let’s discuss the most commonly 

known rate factor in Auto Insurance, 

driving history. Accidents and Tickets 

will effect your rates whether points are 

assessed or not. I always recommend 

the use of Ticket Attorneys or Driving 

School, these are easy ways to keep 

violations off of your record. Accidents 

are a bit more diffi cult. Insurance 

companies use very sophisticated 

systems to access what is called your 

CLU Report. If you have an accident, 

whether you receive a ticket or not, the 

insurance company will fi nd it on your 

CLU report. Any and all Insurance 

claims activity is reported to CLU. 

HOW TO SAVE 

MONEY ON AUTO 

INSURANCE 

Always weigh the consequences of 

reporting small accidents, speak with 

your agent fi rst (the agent is your 

representative) as these claims follow 

you for up to 5 years. 

Another common but uncontrollable 

rate factor is age. From the ages of 

16 to 21 drivers will pay nearly double 

the rates they will pay when they are 

30 to 60. When drivers begin to 

reach their later years 60+ the rates 

will quickly creep back up. 

Finally, credit score makes up a 

large portion of every clients rate. 

Within the past 20 to 30 years the 

importance of credit has grown. The 

stability of the high credit client has 

made them the most sought after 

segment. Although most carriers 

place a different amount of weight on 

credit all major brands use it. Clients 

with good credit, high prior coverage 

limits and clean driving records are 

the most sought after group and when 

competition is high rates are low. 

So back to the Question “how do 

you save money on auto Insurance”? 

Try to become the client that 

Insurance companies are fi ghting to 

reach. This Client has Good Credit, is 

age 40-60, has a clean driving record, 

carries high liability limits, stays with 

their carrier for 3 to 5 years at a time 

and bundles products with one agent. 

I always suggest that clients use 

the services of an Independent agent 

that represents many carriers and 

can offer bundling services such as 

Auto, Home, Umbrella and Marine 

Insurance to maximize discounts. Also 

remember that the agent represents 

you in contrast to in house call center 

employees like those used by internet 

sales carriers. 



A COUNTDOWN 

FOR A SUCCESSFUL 

MERGER 

Getting two companies together is 

often like trying to arrange a marriage. 

There are often post merger issues 

that undermine the original intent and 

goals. Those issues can be fatal to the 

merger, but when mergers work, they 

can work brilliantly. 

I don’t have to go far to outline 

a great merger. Three years ago, 

Transworld Business Brokers and 

United Franchise Group merged 

Franchisemart/Biz One Brokers and 

Transworld into Transworld Business 

Advisors. Since that time, Transworld 

Business Advisors has grown to over 

80 units across the United States, 

and has set up franchised offi ces 

in Canada, Central America and 

the Middle East. We are ranked us 

as one of America’s Top Franchise 

Opportunities for the last three years, 

and as one of the Top Fastest-Growing 

Franchises in the world for the last two 

years by Entrepreneur Magazine. 

Transworld Business Advisors is 

now a company that is a leader in: 

• Business Brokerage – selling 

existing companies 

• Franchise Consulting – helping 

people choose and buy a franchise 

(we have over 200 available) 

• Franchise Development – 

helping successful companies 

franchise their concept. 

Why is our merger working? 

7. Complementary Strengths – 

Transworld Business Brokers was 

a leader in business brokerage with 

over 30 years of experience. United 

Franchise Group was a franchising 

giant for over 25 years, growing brands 

like Signarama and Embroidme. 

Together we are the experts at both 

brokerage and franchising. 

6. Humble Leadership – Yes, 

perhaps Ray Titus and I have pretty 

big egos, but we both have the ability 

to listen, admit when we are wrong, 

and communicate effectively, honestly, 

and with respect. We have clearly 

defined leadership roles in our merged 

fi rms that are working extremely well. 

5. Individualized Systems – We 

recognize not all economies of scale 

can be realized, and trying to force 

some of the companies’ individual 

departments and systems together 

can cause chaos. Some of Transworld 

Business Advisor’s systems will 

remain independent of some of the 

systems at United Franchise Group 

due to our differing services. 

4. Harmonious Employees – The 

staffs of both companies “get it.” It isn’t 

always easy bringing two groups of 

employees together. The philosophy 

of “it was better before the merger,” 

or “the old (or OUR) system was 

more effective and easier” creeps 

ups often. However, with continued 

education, strong leadership, positive 

reinforcement, and addressing the 

concerns, it leads to an eventual “buy 

in.” 

3. Acceptance – Accepting that 

nothing is perfect and there will be 

bumps and bruises along the way is 

very important. Integration is never 

smooth or rarely goes exactly 

as planned. By focusing on the 

positives, and having an eye on 

the merged company’s strategic 

goals can get any merger through 

anything that transpires. 

2. Profitability! – Any merger 

is going to be easier to manage 

if there are not cash fl ow issues.

has been profi table from day one. 

The fact that both companies have 

conservative money philosophies has 

clearly worked well for us. 

1. Our Idea and Plan Worked – 

We are a much better company after 

the merger. We absolutely could not 

have achieved this level of success as 

quickly without each other’s expertise 

and resources. Our franchise system 

has proven to be successful and we 

look forward to watching our franchise 

and franchisees fl ourish across the 

world. 

Being an entrepreneurial company 

requires taking risks. Mergers are 

risky, but if you minimize the downside 

though great legal advice, proper 

paperwork and acquisition guidance 

from qualifi ed professionals (like the 

ones at Transworld Business Advisors), 

the upside is well worth pursuing! 



To the Maldives and Beyond– 

Let “I Do! Romance” Design Your Romantic Getaway 

Congratulations! You have the beautiful 

diamond ring and set the date. But what 

comes next? For the organizer in you, this is 

truly the part you relish. Let no-one stand 

in the way of fulfilling your dream of a 

wedding borne right out of a romance novel 

and the strawberry on top of the cream, the 

honeymoon of a lifetime. 

SitInMySeats VIP Tickets, Travel & 

Concierge Services has launched a new 

company - I Do! Romance, which can help 

you with the planning of these events. From 

love at first sight to all of life’s momentous 

milestones, I Do! Romance specializes in 

designing, planning and coordinating the 

most magnificent and unforgettable travel 

experiences and events in the world. 

Let Team Romance design the perfect 

honeymoon, breathtaking destination 

wedding, anniversary celebrations or 

romantic travel. Your wish is their command. 

Today though, we are here to help you 

with your honeymoon destination choice. 

From the Seychelles to Mauritius, Bora 

Bora or the Bahamas, no islands are quite 

as exotic and romantic as the Maldives. 

This gorgeous setting has been the choice 

of many newlywed couples and provides 

the perfect backdrop for the romance and 

luxury that couples have come to expect 

when on their honeymoon. With its own 

shade of blue water, complimented by the 

whitest beach sand, no honeymooner has 

ever been disappointed by the magic that is 

the Maldives. 

From the first moment your eyes see the 

trademark stilted water villas to your last 

evening of unimaginably tasty cuisine, you 

will be pampered by the Maldives unrivalled 

brand of luxury. 

Due to the tropical climate, our 

recommended time of travel is December 

thru April. Travel from the U.S. to Male in 

the Maldives is done via Asia or Europe, 

therefore can be a lengthy trip. But don’t let 

this put you off; a day spent in the company of 

the resident marine life will assure you that 

you have made the right choice. Manta Rays, 

dolphins and barracudas are abundant in 

the waters surrounding these islands. With 

coral reefs, caves and caverns there is no 

shortage of places to explore with a mask 

and snorkel. If you are more experienced, 

the diving in the Maldives is among the best in 

the world. For the adventurous traveler you 

may want try your hand at kite-boarding, 

windsurfing or banana boat riding. Whatever 

your choice, you are sure to find the Maldives 

has something to “float your boat!” 

We have access to some of the most 

exclusive and beautiful island resorts that 

resonate with intimate luxury. Whether you 

prefer your personal chef to prepare your 

dinner, served with champagne by a private 

butler, dinner at a Maldivian restaurant or 

a table for two on a private jetty under the 

stars, the choices are endless. From the 

North Ari Atoll to the South Male Atoll we 

can recommend a honeymoon that will truly 

keep you coming back for many anniversary 

getaways. Our I Do! Romance team is 

anxiously waiting to plan your honeymoon or 

next journey. Call us today at 954-456-0419 

today or visit us at 1263 E Las Olas Blvd., 

Suite 204 in Ft. Lauderdale to experience 

the “Maldives”. You can also visit www.

any other worldwide destination.

“The Wizard of Oz” 

THE EVENT The Diamond Angels of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital 

Foundation will host the 10th Annual Fairy Tale Ball to raise funds to support 

pediatric programs at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. Guests will follow the 

yellow brick road and mingle with Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Cowardly 

Lion, along with other fantastically memorable characters in the enchanted 

ballroom, which will be transformed into scenes from “The Wizard of Oz.” 

The fantasy-themed evening will feature a cocktail reception, dinner, dancing 

and an auction. The highlight will be an intimate rock concert headlined by Joan 

Jett & the Blackhearts. The band will perform chart-topping hits including “I 

Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” “Crimson and Clover,” and “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” 

Attendees will also enjoy a smashing performance by Night Ranger, known for 

their power ballad “Sister Christian.” 

Throughout the night, Mike Marino, aka DJ 1Tre, will keep the beat pumping 

while comedian George Gray, announcer for “The Price is Right” and host of 

“The Weakest Link,” returns with his signature humor to emcee the festivities. 

Auction prizes include designer accessories, sports and entertainment packages, 

five-star vacations, cruises and staycations. The 2013 Diamond Angels Fairy 

Tale Ball co-chairs are Allison Antevy, Elizabeth Jacobs and Robin Steinman. 

THE CAUSE “There is no place like home.” Just as Dorothy wished to go 

home, every parent who has a child hospitalized wants his or her child to return 

home. Physicians and hospital staff at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital provide 

world-class care 24/7 so pediatric patients can get well as quickly as possible. 

The Diamond Angels of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation is a 

volunteer organization made up of an extraordinary group of women who work hard 

to advocate and raise funds for Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. The group also 

supports the hospital’s mission to provide safe, quality, cost-effective, patient- and 

family-centered care, regardless of one’s ability to pay, with the goal of improving 

the health of the community it serves. Since 2004, they have raised more than $2.8 

million. Learn more at www.diamondangels.org and http://www.jdch.com.

Hats Off To Sisterhood 

Fashion Show, Boutique 

and Luncheon 

THE EVENT The event honors educators with special recognition to Joyce 

Rubin, Temple Beth Orr Board of Trustees member, Carol Wasserman, past 

president of TBO, and Ruth Schreiber-Green, TBO Religious School Director. 

The fashion show will feature sporting attire from Nose for Clothes, evening 

wear from Sondro Boutiques and children’s apparel from Widensky’s. Sisterhood 

members and professional models will walk the runway in a production 

coordinated by Marsha San Fillipo , with music by TBO’s own Marc Weinstock, 

DJ from Party Nation Events. Attendees will have an opportunity to shop at a 

Boutique featuring many vendors selling a variety of merchandise. 

For 27 years the Fashion Show has become a multi-generational event with 

mothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters sharing a day of fashion and 

shopping together while supporting TBO’s Sisterhood. 

THE CAUSE Sisterhood uses the proceeds from the Fashion Show and 

Boutique to support the Temple’s general fund and projects that the Temple 

participates in. It also supports the projects of its national umbrella organization, 

Women of Reform Judaism. Sisterhood funds support the families in our religious 

school, Early Childhood Center and Life Long Learning opportunities, which 

are open to the community. TBO also participates in and has hosted the Unity 

Service of Coral Springs. One of the most important projects of the Temple is the 

Rabbi Gross Food Closet, which for the last 27 years, has distributed bags of food 

to needy residents of the community. Sisterhood and the Temple also support 

and participate in Pink Week and Relay for Life, as well as conducting drives for 

Kids in Distress, JAFCO and Family Central. 

Temple Beth Orr is a dynamic Reform congregation warmly welcoming, seniors, 

singles and families of all ages including interfaith families. It is located at 2151 

Riverside Drive in Coral Springs.

The Local Bank That’s Truly Local. 

Banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo try to appear locally owned and operated. However, 

call their customer service line, or apply for a loan, and you could be dealing with people many 

states away. 

Community Bank of Broward is the only bank with headquarters in Weston, and one of the largest 

commercial banks headquartered in Broward County. Many of our officers and staff live right here in 

Coral Springs. We truly care about your neighborhood. After all, it’s our neighborhood too. 

Stop by your local branch today. We’re ready to show you how great hometown banking can be.

There’s no excuse to ignore your health. 

Especially since our surgery options fit your life. 

Excuses are a dime a dozen. Solutions, however, are rare. That’s why your Broward County HCA 

hospitals are the rarest of the rare — healthcare providers that fit into your life instead of vice 

versa. For general surgery, we offer the latest techniques, including procedures with the da Vinci® 

robotic surgery system (for smaller scars, less pain and quicker recovery) — all scheduled when 

it’s convenient for you. Don’t make excuses. Make a call to 954-724-6349 or visit us online to find 

out why you should have your surgery at the HCA Hospitals of Broward County.
