Once Upon a Time in Windermere By: John Nabers Photos Courtesy of the Town of Windermere Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> When John Dawes, an Englishman by way of Boston, laid out the plat of Windermere and named the town, he had no idea what the proposed town would become. He did not own much of the land but he did it at the request of the principal owners and as general manager for the Florida Midland Railroad which had obtained land in Windermere to extend their rail line from Ocoee and which eventually reached Kissimmee by 1891.

Unfortunately many of the early business ventures involving Dawes and others failed and were foreclosed on. These were primarily timber and sawmill operations.

styletome.com

Not much of note occurred until 1910 when J.C. (Cal) Palmer a carpenter and builder and his two friends all from Wauseon, Ohio visited the area and were charmed by its beauty and great fishing. At that time there were no stores, no post office, no school, and likely only one family living there, that of S. S. Griffin, who obtained the land by purchasing delinquent tax certificates. Palmer was so enthused that he offered to buy the entire town for $10,000 and Griffin accepted. Palmer noticed that Harry Hempel in the Gotha area had prepared a brochure to sell land to northerners. Palmer followed suit by preparing his own adding that in

our town

addition to the natural amenities one could become wealthy by growing citrus and vegetables. Cal Palmer and his wife formed the Windermere Improvement Company to market their property. Then after building a house in 1911-1912 he also built a sales office building. Both structures still stand. The office, now known as the Cal Palmer building is on the town square and was for many years an antique shop called “Finders Keepers” run by long time resident Alice Marshall. The town now owns the building and it is listed on the Register of Historic Places along with the Town Hall.

The Town Hall was originally the “Women’s Club” built around 1922 and located at what is now Fernwood Park on Lake Butler. It was moved to the center of town in 1938 on land purchased by the town in 1930. Another significant building in the history of Windermere was the Pine Tree Inn, an upscale three story frame structure at the West end of Fifth Avenue on the highest ground on the lakefront. It offered many activities and appealed to visitors from the North looking for good fishing, golf, dining, swimming in the clear waters, or just enjoying the spectacular sunsets over Lake Butler. It burned down in 1938 and the town lost its most famous structure.

Waco was the name of the railroad stop south of town at the end of Main Street. Even though this area was never officially part of the town it played a major role in the history of the town and still does today. Known then by residents as Chase Groves or now a more familiar name “Isleworth.” This former plantation is now recognized by that name literally world wide as a result of a group led by Arnold Palmer who purchased the land from the Chase family and developed a world class golf course and community of famous and wealthy athletes and businesspeople. It is interesting to ponder the fact that the lakefront along Lake Bessie was populated

styletome.com

our town

by mostly minority workers in small frame houses furnished by Chase Groves. It is now a series of huge mansions. Public education began in Windermere with a one-room schoolhouse in 1890. This structure still stands and is being restored to its original look and condition. In 1916 a new school was built with two classrooms and a lunchroom was added in 1933. This building was modified into town offices and unfortunately is no longer recognizable as the 1916 school. The current school is at the north end of town at Park Avenue.

Social life in Windermere developed further in the 1940s when the shuffleboard club took over the Palmer Building and built courts, which were heavily used by day and under lights in those pre TV days. The club

welcomed the local children to participate and they greatly enjoyed it. The Town Hall became a periodic entertainment center with dances during WWII for local servicemen; potluck suppers, itinerant acts such as magicians, movie shows, plays, and any kind of town meeting. It was and still is the center of town activities and is the most important building in town. During the 50s small commercial buildings were built along Main Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. Most are still occupied by retail businesses and real estate offices. Prior to that time the needs of residents were met by Griceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grocery store on the N.E. corner of 5th and Main St. and Parramoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Store on the S.E. corner of 6th and Main. These were old-fashioned

country stores with the bare essentials of food and gasoline and kerosene needed by residents especially with rationing during WWII. Neither building still stands. One is a vacant lot and United Medical is on the site of Parramoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Windermere residents have always been very protective of the pristine Butler chain of lakes and in 1970 formed the Butler Chain Conservation Association to keep the lakes unpolluted and has largely been successful. They are still among the cleanest lakes in the area. As we all know when the Walt Disney Company decided to locate their massive operation just a few miles South of Windermere the area and town began to change rapidly. Large increases in population and

our town

rising property prices were the result as many executives and cast members decided to locate in Windermere, and this trend continues today. In the 40s Windermere’s population was only a few hundred, now it is a few hundred over 2000 and growing due to annexations. Surrounding neighborhoods and subdivisions are always trying to become part of Windermere, where taxes are less and amenities are more. The encouraging thing about Windermere is that in spite of this growth in town and especially the surrounding lands such as the Horizon West planning area and the continuing growth of Ocoee and Winter Garden toward the town limits, it still feels like a small town.

The town still enjoys the gatherings at the Town Hall for town meetings, the annual 4th of July pancake breakfast, car shows, art festivals, the annual Easter egg hunt, weddings, and private parties. Much the same as always except we no longer have magicians trying to escape from strait jackets, and residents showing their vacation movies, potluck suppers, and the like. In which other towns can you get to know all your public officials personally… where children can walk barefoot for over a mile on oak shaded dirt roads on the lakeshore from one end to the other… passing parks with playgrounds, tennis courts and basketball courts, bike trails and other like amenities… or where you can launch your boat with a town pass into the Butler Chain of Lakes or Lake Bessie?

“

Windermere residents have always been very

protective of the pristine Butler chain of lakes.

”

Except for the huge increase in rush hour traffic, it is surprisingly similar to what it was when the first northern families and well to do Orlandoans used to vacation and spend weekends here to boat, fish, swim and enjoy its hopefully everlasting beauty. For those who would like to delve deeper into the history of the town please read Carl Patterson’s wonderful book “Windermere Among The Lakes, the Story of a Small Town.” <

Honor Thy Bridesmaid By: Jessica Sanchez Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Nobody knows more than me how expensive a wedding is. Not that I’ve ever been married, but I do have three weddings to go to this year. In the months leading up to each one there is the engagement party, the showing-of-the-dress party, the planning party, the bridal shower, the shoe-picking luncheon, the just-because-I-can party and the bachelorette party. The brides are registered for every party. I can already tell it’s going to cost me more than a month-long trip through South America. Or a two-week cruise to Europe. Or a luxury vacation in Hawaii. Or a down payment on a muchneeded new car. But I digress. Europe and Hawaii will always be there but weddings only happen once, right? Right??? And as a friend I wouldn’t want the bride and groom to be the only ones tossing their 401k’s like a bouquet on their special day. If I were a bridesmaid I’d likely have to take out a loan as well, but I was spared this year. Good thing, too. The honor of being a bridesmaid comes with the biggest cost of all: your sanity. Really a bridesmaid’s main responsibility is to not take things personally. This is very important. The bride-to-be will be under a lot of stress. She will be planning the entire wedding by herself because 1) everyone else is a moron, and 2) no one else wants to be around her when she’s like this. A bridesmaid must also muster up enough enthusiasm to spend every Saturday afternoon shopping for dresses. This typically begins about two months before the bride is even engaged (she likely found out about the ring during one of those times she was going through her boyfriend’s phone). Brides LOVE to dress shop. They will spend hours thumbing through catalogs and browsing through stores like a squirrel in search of the perfect nut. They will gush about mermaid cuts and A-lines with all the angst of a lovesick teenager. “I almost DIED when I saw it! It cost as much as that home in Isleworth we were looking to buy but I knew when I put it on (dramatic sigh) it was meant for me.” And since she’s spending a

styletome.com

lot of money on a dress she’ll keep for the rest of her life in an acid-free storage box somewhere in the garage... she’ll expect her bridesmaids to do the same.

“

The honor of being a

bridesmaid comes with thebiggest cost of all:your sanity!

”

But once a bridesmaid gets through the dress-picking process she can relax. Haha, just kidding! Among other things there’s cake to taste, napkins to pick, and songs to listen to (because the traditional “Here Comes The Bride” is too cliché for a wedding this uniquely wonderful). And in addition to all that the bridesmaid must spend the next year growing out her hair so it can be twisted, pinned and glued into the same stylish bun as the other six bridesmaids because - like a throw-back to a Robert Palmer music video - All. Bridesmaids. Must. Look. Alike. Period. It doesn’t matter if pale pink doesn’t go with your skin tone, or if purple eye shadow gives you the Tammy Faye look, or if your body simply wasn’t meant to fit in a tube top dress. The wedding pictures will be ruined if someone so much as wears a different type of heel! When the big day finally arrives there will be at least one or two bridesmaids who will finally get the chance to sit back and relax with a glass of wine as they watch a movie at home because the bride stopped talking to them three months ago after a disagreement over the color of the bobby pins. If you look at the history of a bridesmaid I bet you’ll find that the concept started as a form of punishment during the Renaissance Era for women who committed heinous acts of violence.< Jessica Sanchez

Stay Away from Wedding Blues and Make Way for Wedding Bliss! By: Cathleen K. Bode Credits: Flavia Robinson Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Wedding day: There’s no other time in a girl’s life when stress reaches levels high enough to transform the sweetest soul into a Godzilla bride. Being hours away from the “I do” moment can put an unrelenting pressure on the bride to be. Everything must go as perfect as the fairy tale demands and the wait can be agonizing; knowing fairy godmother won’t show up at the bridal suite to save the day! But here in central Florida we’ve got something better.

After the awaited wedding day rolls up, it’s impossible to hide the bittersweet feeling when you know the clock has ticked and your special day has gone by-- Or so you thought! You and your groom can indulge in a perfect Rest and Relaxation package. Rose petals, candlelight and soft music prepare the lovebirds to soak in a gently flowing hydro tub. Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries are the perfect compliment to this romantic experience.

Spa at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes is definitely magical. If you’re in for a full day of relaxation, just you and your bride-to-be deepest thoughts, The Blushing Bride is the right package for you, inclusive of professional hair styling and makeup suited to skin tone, bone structure and bride’s personal style.This special indulgence comes with an aromatherapy treatment that promises to neutralize free radicals as well as renew and recondition the skin.

Located at the heart of the Grande Lakes Resort Development, this three-story 40,000-SF full-service spa is designed in the grand style of an Italian villa. The spa offers a range of treatments that focus on the therapeutic benefits of water (aqua) and is easily accessible to visitors and guests of The Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott Hotels. The Spa features 40 treatment rooms, a fully equipped fitness center, Vitale Spa Café and Tranquility Spa Boutique.

Planning a wedding can distract you from enjoying precious moments with the girlfriends who have been with you through thick and thin. How about blowing off some steam with The Bachelorette Day of Bliss package? Enjoy the day at a beautiful poolside private cabana stocked with assorted soft drinks, hors d’oeuvres and fresh fruits. Top it off in great style with The Classic Citrus Indulgence Manicure and Pedicure while sipping on a glass of refreshing wine.

Q: I

recently heard about a new procedure by Zeltiq™ proven to permanently and naturally reduce fat without surgery. Can you tell me more?

A: Zeltiq™ Coolsculpting® is the

Dr. Palceski looks forward to hearing from you and will be accepting questions at drp@reflectionsdermatology.com Dr. Palceski is a Board Certified Dermatologist and Dermatologic Surgeon and is the founder of Reflections Dermatology & Center for Skin Care.

first FDA approved, non-invasive procedure clinically proven to permanently reduce stubborn areas of unwanted fat. Now, thanks to this amazing technology, it’s possible to get rid of love handles, a muffin top, or other unwanted bulges naturally and safely without the need for more invasive surgery such as liposuction.

Q: How does it work? A:

Zeltiq™ CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary new procedure that utilizes a process known as Cryolipolysis™. Cryolipolysis™ is the result of a groundbreaking discovery

by two Harvard University Physicians who discovered that when fat cells are exposed to extreme cold, a process of natural removal is triggered. The procedure has been designed to precisely cool to temperatures that destroy fat cells while leaving the skin and surrounding tissue unharmed.The result is a gradual and visibly noticeable reduction in the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer treated.

How long does it take?

The entire Zeltiq™ procedure takes just one hour to complete. However, many patients opt to treat multiple areas on the same day. In this case, one hour would be needed per treatment area.

Can I return to normal activities immediately?

A: Yes! Since Zeltiq™ CoolScult-

ping® is completely non-invasive you can resume normal activities immediately.

Q: What results can I expect? Clinical trials consistently showed a 22-25% reduction of fat in the area(s) treated with just one treatment with an even greater reduction being reported in patients who received multiple treatments.

How soon will I notice results?

Many patients report seeing changes in as little as 4 weeks. However, maximum results can be expected after 8 weeks. For more information on Zeltiq™ or to find a physician in your area, please visit Zeltiq.com

Food for the Fight Taste of Pointe Orlando for Esophageal Cancer Awareness

By: Dana Damato Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> From its first event 7 months ago,Thoracic 100 held another outstanding event to support Esophageal Cancer. When Pam and Gary Sain introduced Thoracic 100 to the Orlando community, we learned about the love and compassion they had for any and all families that have been affected by this disease. As Pam Sain and her family suffered the unfortunate loss of her father, Jack Wooldridge, just over a year ago to Esophageal Cancer, she has taken the initiative to step up and make a difference. Not only have they been affected personally, but also they are making a change in the community to spread awareness. The results have shown a growing network of the members from our community coming together in support of this life threatening illness. Hosting it’s first event on September 8th, 2010 at the Capital Grille, Pam, Gary, and several other supporters worked together to host a successful event on April 10th, 2011 at Pointe Orlando. Thoracic 100 and Pointe Orlando have come together to host the Taste of Pointe Orlando with participating restaurants such as; Adobe Gila’s, B.B. King’s Blues Club, Ben & Jerry’s, Copper Canyon Grill, Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar, Fat Fish Blue, Funky Monkey Wine Company,

Pam’s biggest supporter is none other then her very own husband, Gary Sain, who is President & CEO of Visit Orlando.

Inside the World of a Private Wealth Manager By: Tony Keena Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Hi, I’m Tony Keena. I’m a private wealth manager in Altamonte Springs. I’ll be writing a regular column in Orlando Style magazine on building, managing and protecting your assets, whether you are just starting out or are worth millions. A number of my clients are professional athletes, music, movie and television personalities most with names you’d know. I may talk about them and how they made some of their financial decisions from time to time, but I won’t mention their names. That’s one of the reasons they say they hired me in the first place. They really try to protect the few private corners they have in their very public lives, and I honor that.

Am I intimidated working with celebrities who you see on big screens or in major league playing venues in LA, New York, and yes, here in O-Town? I try not to be. Okay, I admit that when I’m going to dinner with a high profile client, it’s a bit of a rush to be seated without a reservation at a restaurant with a twoweek waitlist, but trust me, these stars pay a high price for their celebrity. They have a giant bull’s eye on them all of the time. Just look at the tabloids if you don’t believe me.

For instance, I won’t mention the name of a music client who proudly showed me six new cars he’d purchased as rolling “bling”. For one thing, I told him up front that his purchases made no financial sense at the stage of his career. Another reason was because I asked him why he had to have a half-dozen sports cars when he “only had one butt to put behind one steering wheel.”

In future columns, I may talk about some of the unusual things that high net worth and celebrity clients invest in, but I’ll concentrate on questions and concerns the majority of my clients, readers like you, have as we all try to make sense of the demands on our dollars. Thanks for joining me in Star Gazing.

It’s not that I don’t like cars, I love them! I’ve raced on occasion and have talked cars at celebrity shows with rabid collectors like Jay Leno. I actually have several clients in Central Florida who have amazing collections of rare and exotic automobiles hidden away in nondescript warehouses you’d probably walk right past without noticing. While my music client may end up rich enough to become a serious collector, at this time in a very tough entertainment segment, it makes no sense, and I told him so.

styletome.com

My “star” clients tell me they like the fact that I treat them as I treat any of my clients, like real people trying to do the best for themselves and their families in a challenging financial climate.

> THE GREAT RECESSION AND MORTGAGE FRAUD by Mark L. Horwitz

> The United States Attorney’s Office and the F.B.I. have made mortgage and bank fraud a high priority. Investigations and prosecutions target not only industry insiders and professionals, but also those who purchased or refinanced homes.

The Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz - A Professional Association 17 E. Pine St. Orlando, FL 32801 407-843-7733 www.mlhorwitzlaw.com

Several Criminal laws are utilized by prosecuting officials. In the federal system these include: wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. The crimes all involve providing false information to the lender in order to get a loan. For a crime to exist, the false statement must be made knowing that it is false and willfully with the intent to defraud. Whether a

person acted knowingly and with the intent to defraud is often the key issue in the investigation and prosecution. Many home buyers and real estate professionals engaged in conduct that at the time was thought to be legal but in hindsight, appears criminal to investigators and prosecutors. While some people intended to defraud lenders, others who did not act with criminal intent find themselves caught up in a criminal case. The Great Recession is made worse by subjecting many to the nightmare of a criminal investigation and prosecution. This, however, is nothing new. It has been

written, that in the past, politicians have sought to divert the blame from failed government policies. Fraud is a convenient excuse for the mistakes of securities and banking regulators. Unfortunately, many who are innocent get entangled in criminal investigations which only worsen the economic hardships that citizens must suffer. If you have been contacted by an investigator from the government with a request to meet, you should know what you are facing and have an attorney present to protect your rights. Contact a criminal defense attorney experienced in mortgage and bank fraud defense.<

> Few attorneys are fortunate enough to bring to their law practice a background as diverse and intriguing as Winter Park attorney, Brad Hester. After obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Architectural Design in 1987, then an M.B.A. in 1990, both from the University of Florida, Brad and his wife, Sloane, managed their family-owned dairy farm in Okeechobee, Florida, for seven years, no small feat considering that the operation involved about 1500 dairy cows, 1000 acres of land, over 30 employees and produced about 7,500 gallons of milk every day. During his time on the farm, Brad became heavily involved in the Florida agriculture industry, actively participating in numerous industry organizations and graduating from the prestigious Wedgworth Leadership Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources, a statewide leadership program associated with the Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences (IFAS) at UF. The internationallyrenowned leadership program, focusing on local, state, national and international policymaking, required 50 days of travel and education over a two-year period and included trips throughout Florida and to Washington, D.C., Texas, Mexico, Poland, Germany and Norway. The lifechanging experience inspired Brad to pursue a law degree, so at age 33 and with Sloane, their two kids, a dog and a cat all in tow, he enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1997, earning his Juris Doctor degree in 2000. Now practicing with Frank A. Hamner, P.A., in the areas of commercial and residential real estate transactions, develop-

ment and finance, commercial lending, secured transactions, agri-business and agricultural financing, Brad is able to apply the creative and practical aspects of his design, business and agricultural education to the benefit of his clients, who are typically institutional lenders and borrowers, commercial real estate developers and commercial and agricultural landowners. In particular, Brad represents Farm Credit of Central Florida, a large Central Florida agricultural credit cooperative, as to its secured transactions and other corporate and cooperative law matters, where his ag background allows him to relate directly to the complex issues faced by agricultural producers and borrowers. Brad’s law partner, Frank Hamner, is also able to take advantage of Brad’s unique insight whenever real property and corporate issues arise in connection with his own very successful commercial litigation and construction law practice. Brad remains heavily involved in (and enjoys promoting) the Florida agriculture industry and, in addition to his continued work with the Wedgworth program, is a member of the Orange County Ag-Advisory Board and is Chairman of the Farmworker Community Support Foundation. He is also an active Board Member of the Winter Park YMCA and a graduate of Leadership Winter Park. Brad and Sloane are avid Gator fans and are very involved in numerous local charitable organizations, in particular those fostering autism awareness and other special needs.< Photo By: Sloane Hester

> By now, most homeowners facing foreclosure are aware of the federal government’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) which offers a way to avoid foreclosure for those who wish to keep their homes and meet certain eligibility guidelines. HAMP has come under public scrutiny for disappointing results in terms of homeowners who have obtained successful modifications and the numerous complaints that Lenders are inconsistent in their treatment of applicants. The program has rules intended to provide borrowers with a timely decision on whether they are approved for a modification, but it does not provide a way to enforce those rules. Unfortunately, this has caused serious problems for many homeowners in fear of losing their homes.

In Fear of Foreclosure? By: Mark NeJame Contributor: Catherina Chang Watters Read more at: StyleToMe.com

styletome.com

According to the latest figures from the Treasury Department, as of the end of February 2011, there were just over 557,000 active permanent HAMP modifications in place. This is much less than the original 3-4 million foreclosures the program was initially supposed to stop and only a fraction of the total 8-13 million expected by the end of 2012, which will mark the conclusion of the program. A wave of law suits have been filed against several of the nation’s largest mortgage servicers. Allegations include: 1) Starting foreclosure proceedings before evaluating whether or not to grant a loan modification, 2) Not responding to applications and requests for assistance, 3) Incorrectly telling borrowers they needed to be in default before they could get a modification, 4) Rejecting applications without a reasonable explanation, 5) “Dual tracking” or proceeding with a foreclosure while a borrower is under review for or in the process of completing a loan modification, 6) Systematically slowing or thwarting a homeowners’ requests for a modification, and 7) Providing In-House modifications or refinancing plans while the

homeowner is under the impression they are receiving a HAMP modification. While under review for a modification, it is not unheard of for homeowners to receive calls or letters in the mail offering refinancing options. This results in complete and total confusion for the distressed homeowner who is already desperate to keep his home and under extreme pressure to take whatever options are offered to him. In many of these cases, the homeowner ends up signing an agreement that reduces his monthly mortgage payment, promises a principal forbearance, but then stretches out the loan term for another 10-20 years, so in reality he is paying for the forbearance, plus extra fees and costs associated with the refinance, and perhaps has even agreed to a higher interest rate. The homeowner has merely bought himself some extra time, but has not improved his financial situation. Many times, his situation is now worse. So what is the answer? The best strategies are to contact an attorney who has had success negotiating HAMP modifications and inquire about your legal rights. If you are struggling to make your mortgage payments and your family is suffering as a result, you may be a perfect candidate for HAMP. It is not necessary for you to commit financial suicide by exhausting your family’s savings and maxing out your credit cards so you can put food on the table and pay the bills. Trust an experienced attorney to help you navigate the hazards of the modification process safely and effectively. If you want to save your home, help is here. <

Did you know that more people escape to Orlando for a

vacation than any destination in the United States?

> For many of us travel is an escape, a way to reconnect with our families, friends, children and spouses. We travel to experience new cities, new food, shopping and thrills. It is a psychological release that allows us to escape our day-to-day activities and focus on what is really important to us. Did you know that more people escape to Orlando for a vacation than any destination in the United States? We expect to hear that in 2010 we welcomed more than 49 million visitors – 3 million more people than in 2009. Pretty impressive. People come to Orlando to relax, enjoy family and friends, experience new thrills and reconnect.

Experience = Impact By: Gary C. Sain President and CEO, Visit Orlando Read more at: StyleToMe.com

You may ask yourself, what does that have to do with me? Many of you, your families or friends are the first impression many visitors have of Orlando.You greet them at the airport or at local festivals. You serve them at restaurants or help them find their way around the local theme parks. You impact their trips in so many ways and help them to create memories that last a lifetime. And their experience impacts our economy every time they return or share their experience with family and friends. Travel and tourism is our community’s number one industry, employing one in every four workers in Central Florida while at the same time generating a payroll of nearly $14 billion every year. In addition, Tourist Development Tax, a tax paid by visitors on the usage of hotel rooms and rental homes, paid for $270 million of the $380 million dollar construction cost of the new Amway Center. That’s a huge impact on our local and state economies. The impact is so large that there is a whole week dedicated to travel and tourism. Established in 1984, National Travel & Tourism Week is held May 7-15. In Orlando, we celebrate the industry and its employees with several events throughout the destination.

styletome.com

”

To get the ball rolling we start with a premier race that cuts through the heart of the tourism district, the I-Drive 5K held on Saturday, May 7. The annual race starts and finishes at Pointe Orlando on International Drive. All proceeds from the event support swimming lessons at the YMCA Aquatic Center on International Drive. Throughout the rest of the week we honor our industry and its employees with events at the airport, Visit Orlando’s National Travel & Tourism luncheon, proclamations from the Mayors of Orange County and the City of Orlando, and a special day for visitors at the airport. Every year, to help raise awareness of the impact of a healthy and vibrant travel and tourism community Visit Orlando holds a Travel Rally Day. On Tuesday, May 10 at the Orange County History Center the rally will highlight the local, state and national impact that travel has on jobs, the economy and our psyche. Travel and tourism is the lifeblood of Orlando. It has made our city a worldwide-recognized brand.We should celebrate our success and honor those that have created a nearly $30 billion industry. It is because of dedicated community partners, industry employees and business leaders that we have become the number one destination for travelers. We have much to be proud of. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.<

Josie NeJame, Giuliana & Bill Rancic, and Mark NeJame

> There is nothing more rewarding then giving back, to change someone’s life forever. Being given the opportunity to make a positive impact on a person’s life is a gift that can spread like a wildfire. When it comes to sharing your passion with a community of individuals to make a difference, two people come to mind, Mark and Josie NeJame. From the start of their non-profit organization to benefit pediatric cancer, Runway to Hope has once again brought together a community of individuals to celebrate, support, and express their deepest love for the most incredible, strong, and admirable children. From the moment Mark and Josie looked into the eyes of their two beautiful daughters after they were born, a feeling of warmth and blessings filled their hearts knowing they were given a precious gift of

healthy children. It was from that moment on that Mark and Josie, previously influenced by various life events, decided to start their own non-profit organization to support children born with life threatening illnesses and to benefit pediatric cancer research. As Neiman Marcus and the Mall at Millenia opened their doors to Runway to Hope’s event on March 20, 2011, a proud participation of both Florida Hospital for Children and Arnold Palmer Hospital achieved everything and more that it was set out to do; create a magical night for the children. Celebrity guest couple, Bill and Giuliana Rancic, hosted the Runway to Hope Spring Fashion Soiree. Beginning the night at 6:00 pm, Neiman Marcus hosted a very exclusive reception catered by the Waldorf Astoria for VIP ticket holders. As the crowd grew and the evening festivities for all tickets holders began at 7:00 pm, a cocktail party and Orlando’s finest local restaurants catering samples of their best cuisine was offered for all the guests to enjoy. Aside from the food, silent auctions and fashion, the true magic happened right on the runway. A sparkle that brightened the runway is what every attendee saw in the eyes of ev-

ery child as they glided down escorted by a local celebrity. Being given their moment to shine, 30 courageous children between the ages of 2 to 18 that have been affected by cancer modeled trendy clothes, had their hair styled, and make up done to make them feel like the superstars they really are. With the help from dozens of national and local celebrities, the one thing that shined through everything these children have been through is their illuminating spirits. Proceeds from this event were given to clinical trials, research, technology, and family assistance for pediatric cancer at both Florida Hospital and Arnold Palmer Hospital. With the support from these two incredible pediatric hospitals, representatives from media outlets, the families of the children, and all the work put in from Mark and Josie, the Runway to Hope Fashion Soiree was certainly a gratifying experience. Acting upon an opportunity to create an experience that will forever stay with these remarkable children is an honorable and selfless act that Mark, Josie, and the team that contributed to making this event happen should be very proud of. <

Master Class Spencer’s for Steaks & Chops By Holly V. Kapherr Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> If you’ve ever dreamed of a private cooking lesson with a classically trained chef, look no further than the kitchen at Spencer’s for Steaks and Chops at the Hilton Orlando on International Drive. Every month, Spencer’s hosts a private cooking class on a theme ingredient. The class is taught by Chef Eric Szymczak, under the supervision of Executive Chef Louis Martorano and assisted by his able line cooks. Chef Szymczak creates Iron Chef-style tasting versions of dishes that feature the ingredient in the most delicious way possible. On Saturday, April 9, the kitchen hosted a “Fun with Fungi” cooking class featuring eight mushroom varieties from crimini and Portobello to more exotic varieties like meaty king trumpet mushrooms and truffles. The art of cooking is based in physics, chemistry and biology, and Chef Szymczak does an excellent job of explaining the theme ingredient, offering a history of its use and some little-known facts about the ingredient. Did you know that white button mushrooms, crimini (baby bella) mushrooms and Portobellos are all the same species, just at different stages in the mushroom’s lifespan? We didn’t either. Chef Szymczak developed a decadent lobster mac and cheese recipe brimming with three cheeses and hearty chunks of lobster. A wild mushroom soup followed, velvety and rich with earthiness.

An excellent alternative to meat, mushrooms were played up in a “slider” served with beer-battered Portobello “fries.” Spencer’s smartly offers the recipes to take home to try on your own and develop a cooking repertoire fit for a high-caliber steakhouse like Spencer’s.

The eating has just begun.After the tasting, a three-course lunch is served and paired with wines by the new, intensely knowledgeable sommelier and Senior Food & Beverage Manager Christopher Eisenlau, formerly of Victoria & Albert’s. A shiitake mushroom and goat cheese pissaladière, a puff pastry tart from the south of France, opened the meal, topped with arugula and a tangy shallot vinaigrette. The creaminess of the mushrooms and the crisp, buttery pastry was complemented perfectly by the bitter greens and bite of the vinaigrette. An elegant and refreshing starter set the tone for the meal. The tart was followed by a rack of lamb, crusted in dried porcini mushrooms, known for their earthiness. The perfectly medium lamb sat atop a wild mushroom risotto blooming with black trumpet mushrooms, the chef’s personal favorite. Paired with a mature 2003 Rioja/Tempranillo from Montecillo, this boldly flavored dish was balanced nicely with the fruit and earthiness of the wine. To finish the meal, Chef Szymczak served a white chocolate truffle timbale with an inventive and memorable chocolate truffle ice cream. Flavored with the oil of truffles, this was the end of a cadence that left a lasting impression. The cooking class at Spencer’s is a wellspent investment in your cooking abilities and knowledge as well as in a few hundred calories comprising a delicious Saturday afternoon. Enjoy the veranda outside the restaurant while lunch is prepared and you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into an oasis on I-Drive. <

The Energy of a Chef By Holly V. Kapherr Photo By: Sven J. Bode Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Chef Eric Szymczak practices what he preached at the Culinary Institute of America as a student and a teaching assistant. Now, as head chef at Spencer’s for Steaks and Chops, he instills that spirit and energy in his team. “A chef is from the French, meaning ‘boss,’” says Chef Eric Szymczak, adjusting his toque. “It doesn’t at all imply that you can cook. —Just that you are a leader.” The cooks at Spencer’s for Steaks and Chops in Orlando clearly look up to Chef Eric and his adroit leadership skills. His super-human energy and passion for his craft convey an authenticity his crew admires. Throughout the event where I met Chef Eric, he was constantly talking about his line cooks: how smart and quick they are, how successful they’ve become since working at Spencer’s and how he relies on them to carry the kitchen to success every night. His trust in his team is what makes him a real chef, not how well he can cook, even though he can—very, very well. After serving as a rescue swimmer in the U.S. Navy, Chef Eric returned to his native

New Jersey and enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, New York, America’s premiere culinary school. He remained at the CIA as a teaching assistant, working as a sous chef under Chef William Phillips, one of the most accomplished chef-instructors in the country at American Bounty Restaurant. “They really taught me that teaching is one of the best things you can do as a chef,” says Szymczak. In fact, he says he’d eventually like to go back to teaching, so great is its pull. It’s obvious to see why, too. Chef Eric teaches the once-monthly private cooking classes at Spencer’s and his energy is exactly what’s needed in the classroom. His wealth of knowledge (probably from reading cookery books constantly in his spare time, Harold McGee’s treatise On Food and Cooking is a favorite) and his love of the science upon which cooking is based shines through to keep his audience engaged and captivated. “I opened this place,” he says, gesturing to the contemporary steakhouse around us, Spencer’s, which debuted in late 2009. “It’s

kind of my baby. I love everything about this place and I’m glad to have made my mark on it,” say Eric. As a chef, he believes strongly in local produce and dairy and humanely produced meats, which is obvious based on a glance at the Spencer’s menu, full of grassfed beef and pork, free-range chicken and lamb. “The only thing I love more than food is my wife, and when we’re together, we share a bottle of wine or two and something delicious. It’s how we bond.” Chef Szymczak’s great loves combine in the Spencer’s dining room, where he mentions the only other job he’d rather do in the restaurant is work as sommelier, the wine steward.“I love wine. It’s so essential to the dining experience and so connected to the land,” he says. A student of the great chefs in America and abroad (he’s a particular admirer of Fat Duck chef Heston Blumenthal), Chef Eric brings a fresh, young and energetic approach to classic steakhouse fare. His passion for ingredients and intense commitment to respecting them bolster Spencer’s pledge to “sophisticated, yet approachable” atmosphere and cuisine.<

Norman Van Aken, who presented some of his talented gourmet treats. The festival was full of scrumptious and somewhat bazaar surprises, as each day consisted of something special.

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel

In Case You Missed It Style Events, News & Gossip from around the city

> It’s time to take out the swimwear, load up on the sunscreen and hit the beach! Spring is in the air and it’s as fabulous as ever. From fashion trends to exquisite dining and plenty of sunshine, it’s only the beginning and I’m already hoping the months to come are nothing short of how exciting the last couple months have been in Orlando.

With every season comes a new wardrobe, and with every wardrobe comes new trends. And the trends, well they begin with talented designers like the one I had the pleasure of meeting. David Meister, known for his renowned and eye-opening red carpet gowns, delighted us with his presence at Neiman Marcus for a spring fashion presentation. The presentation consisted of nothing less than those “Oh my goodness, I have to have this” kind of dresses. Meister has an eye for two things: Sophistication and femininity, and when you combine the two, you got a Meister masterpiece. Just ask stars like Jennifer Hudson, Katherine Heigl and Tina Fey, I’m sure they would agree. There’s nothing that I enjoy more than great tasting food & flicks, which is why I couldn’t be happier about The 20th Annual Florida Film Festival. Whether you’re a film fanatic or food lover, the ten days dedicated some of Florida’s most intricate menu, to freshly squeezed Florida films like Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja and Competition narratives such as Norman. Stars including first American-born Latino to be nominated for an Academy Award Edward James Olmos, made a special appearance to present the 1988 independent classic, Stand and Deliver. As well as award-winning chef

And if you didn’t indulge enough at the film festival, there was also the Harbor Nights Primavera at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. The intimate ambiance and jazzy beats performed by The Robert Harris Group really got you in the mood, mood for good dining of course. Fancy treats, relaxing music, along with Italian-inspired scenery, I’m not sure what could have made the night any better--Well, other than a super-hot date to share the night with...Just saying. Thinking about tying the knot this season? If so, Florida brides, a wedding not-to-bemissed event was the: “Unveiled: Your Style Revealed” event, produced by Couture Consulting by Chenell and Lisa Konecny, which also took place at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. The night began with a glamorous opera performance and cocktail reception, followed by a demonstration on how to throw an unforgettable wedding. Then there was the wedding gown runway show by celebrity designer Angel Rivera. I don’t think any of these brides-to-be had cold feet about attending! One thing I love about Orlando, aside from the warmth and diverse variety, is the love the city shares for music. The Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Studios continued its Velvet Sessions with The Smithereens. The band performed hits like “Only a memory” and “A girl like you.” There’s nothing better than rocking out to a band with food and fun. You should definitely make sure to check out the next session held on the last Thursday of the month. There we have it my friends, a two-month glimpse of how spring looks in Orlando, and if you ask me, it looks pretty delicious! Know of a not-to-be-missed event? Do tell!

He imagined that one day he would come to America and work side by side with the idols that taught him how to sing. He envisioned that one day he would live his life doing what he loved, music.

Born Adetayo Ayowale Onile-Ere, but better known by his

”

With several hit songs throughout 2008, Taio spend 2009 working on his follow up album, Rokstarr. The release of Rokstarr on October 12, 2009 was entirely written and produced by Taio himself.

It wasn’t long before “Break Your Heart” made its way to the US, landing the number one spot of the US charts for one week. The album’s fourth single in UK, and second in the US titled, “Dynamite,” debuted at 26 and peaked at number one on US top 40 earning Cruz his second US number one record.

The Rokstarr brand is a fashion and accessories line that has a focus on sunglasses and watches. Well-known artists such as Keri Hilson, Kanye West, and Kelly Rowland have been seen wearing them. More recently, building his fashion brand and his name as a musician,Taio Cruz’s current single, “Higher,” has been released in three different versions- one featuring Kylie Minogue, one featuring Pitbull, and one featuring Travis McCoy.

Best Friends

Bike Tow Leash for Dogs By: Cathleen K. Bode Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> When I first heard about this relatively new gadget from my dog trainer, I asked myself “will this really work”? What if my dog decides to speed up or stop abruptly or chase another dog? What if he decides to go in another direction than I and possibly throw me off my bike? All these horrifying thoughts raced through my mind as my trainer convinced me to try out this gadget by connecting the leash to my bike and peddling away into the sunset. I wanted to give my dog a really good workout, burn off his pent-up energy where a routine walk just would not do but thought to myself ‘yeah right’! This guy is an 85 lb. German shepherd ‘puppy’ who is yet to master the “walk” let alone a bike ride! Well let me just say that the result was amazing! I couldn’t believe I was actually riding down the street, with big, clumsy “Fido” in tow, without any incidents; it was a breeze! I highly recommend this product to anyone wishing to give their dog a good workout without becoming overly tired themselves and/or for those who are short on time. If you like biking this is definitely a perfect way to enjoy a beautiful afternoon riding through the park and at the same time giving a vigorous workout to your “best friend”! Check out the 1-Running-Dog-Bike Tow Leash, “BTL” for short, at BikeTowLeash.com You will not be disappointed!<
