5. Publisher’s Letter
SUMMER OF ’09
The memorable events in our history resonate for decades
because they connect us to each other through the
past, present and future that we share. In 1969, we
watched the first man walk on the moon and we knew
that what had seemed impossible the day before was now
possible. Millions looked to the future with new hope.
The euphoria of that first step did not just belong to the astronauts,
but to all of us, to any one of us who could remember our first
solo bicycle ride or any other milestone accomplishment. Was that
step, was that bicycle ride a miracle—somehow outside the natural
order of the world? Probably not, but it sure felt like it.
July 20, 1969 was 40 years ago. Today, many of us have telephones
with more computing power than NASA had on the day they launched
Apollo 11. But technical accomplishments have not stopped war, ended
hunger or recession, or repaired our broken health care system. Yet
there is reason to hope. We elected our first African-American president,
a reality many of us did not expect to witness in our own lifetimes.
In the summer of ‘69, the reality we shared changed. Let’s hope that
40 years from now we say the same about the summer of ‘09.

Joining a golf club has its perks. Of course, there is the golf—but
how about the chance to have lunch and a cold one on the club
patio as you watch other guys and gals bang that ball around.
Well, now you can. Head over to Galuppi’s at the Pompano Beach
Municipal Golf Course and dine like a club member. The restaurant
serves a great lunch including a burger fit for someone who just shot
par and outstanding salads. One of our favorites is the blackened
chicken salad ($11.00); a generous portion of blackened chicken
breast (served hot off the grill—not cold and leathery) tops baby
greens, walnuts, blue cheese and thinly sliced Granny Smith apples
served with balsamic vinaigrette. We would be remiss if we didn’t
mention the Chinese chicken salad ($12.00); Asian slaw
with orange segments, peanuts, crispy wontons, red ed
peppers, grilled chicken breast, scallions and
sesame seeds tossed with a hoisin vinaigrette
and drizzled with spicy peanut sauce.

11. FishTales
Derrick and the Bonitos
There are world record fish, but most people don’t know that state records exist
for many species. Derrick Jaradi caught the new Florida state record Atlantic
bonito by landing the 6-pound
8-ounce fish in February. The record was verified just recently.
For avid fisherman, this size bonito may
seem small for local waters, but this was
the Atlantic bonito—not the much more
common striped bonito. The Atlantic
bonito usually inhabits much colder
water, but a cold current swept down
and the fish came along for the ride.
Derrick went out with his home-made
butterfly jigs in his 12-foot john boat alone
to a wreck in about 150 feet of water. He
was approximately one mile from the Boca
Raton inlet. “If you look at the picture when
it was first landed, the fish almost has stripe
patterns similar to a wahoo, which I thought I had. I was almost disappointed
when I got it to the boat and it wasn’t a wahoo. That’s until I got to the boat
ramp and people were telling me that it was not a usual catch around here.”
Derrick checked online ,and sure enough, it was eligible for the state record.
12. FlashBack
The Famed
Miami Mansion
You may know Casa Casuarina as the legendary
Versace Mansion on Miami Beach. The home
was built in 1930 by architect, philanthropist,
author and political reformer Alden Freeman
as homage to the oldest existing house in
the western hemisphere, the “Alcazar de
Colon” in Santo Domingo. Freeman chose to
use it as inspiration because of his life-long
veneration of Christopher Columbus—the
Alcazar was home to his son Diego in 1510.
Casa Casuarina is a three-story structure,
operated as an apartment house, with
a Spanish-style inner courtyard and 22

apartments. It even contains an original
brick from the Alcazar. In 1937, after
Freeman’s death, Casa Casuarina was bought
by Jacques Amsterdam, who renamed it
“The Amsterdam Palace.” Once again, it
was operated as an apartment house whose

Stop Lying…
About Lying!
BY DAWN ROTH
DON’T LIE! It’s the admonishment parents have said for eons. Who
wants to raise a liar? We go crazy making sure kids never lie. Big
trouble if they get caught red-handed. What if this approach was
a red herring? Could it actually lead kids to lie MORE? Uh oh!
ARE YOU KIDDING? Lying for self-preservation is a natural reaction
for youngsters. Telling the truth has to be taught. It takes courage
and willingness to lose approval. Worried lying is wrong? Check it.
WATCH ME! We tell kids don’t lie, and then they watch us in
our lives. We explain traffic made us late (as we speed down
I-95). We say ‘I’m not here’ to avoid a call. Santa, the Tooth Fairy,
‘You weren’t an accident,’ ‘I was giving mommy a back rub,’ sound
