HAPPY NEW YEAR
ESTERO!!
Wow! 2013!! It time to unwrap that
new calendar and to begin to enter
all of the exciting and wonderful
activities that you plan to enjoy this
New Year!! There will certainly be
those rounds of golf or tennis, art
festivals by the dozens and the trips
to the beach or out on the water.
Theres always the fun of discovering
a new restaurant or two that you
have never tried before. And our
communities swell to their peaks as
our winter residents return en mass
and our fellowship opportunities with
friends, new and old, shape our lives.
Ah yes! This is the Estero Lifestyle
that we enjoy so much!
The fresh start of a New Year
always brings with it a new hope
and optimism for a better tomorrow.
It gives us all a chance to make the
needed corrections in our lives
to fulll our hopes and dreams,
to nd peace, love and happiness
for ourselves, our families and our
friends and loved ones.
One of the many joys we have
embraced in our SW Florida lifestyle
is the many opportunities we have to
become involved in our community
through our tireless support of the
many philanthropic activities to help
the many thousands who benet
each year from our generosity. There
are literally dozens and dozens of
ways to enjoy sharing our success
with those who need our help in some
way. From special activities with the
Red Sox and Twins, to many needs
of the community supported thru
golf tourneys and tennis matches,
5K runs, food and music festivals of
every kind. We have the most fun
ways to give back to our community
of any place on Earth!!!
One such annual opportunity
is the Helping Kids with Cancer
Radiothon staged right here in
Estero at the Miromar Outlets later
this month. This month learn how
Barbaras Friends, the childrens
cancer fund, began and its support of
the new Golisano Childrens Hospital.
I have been personally involved with
this organization, nearly three years
as chairman, for the last 10 years.
I hope each of you will nd it in
your hearts to make a contribution
this year to the greatest legacy we
will ever know. The children of SW
Florida need our help!!
Our cover story answers the
question, So, how are we doing here
in SW Florida? Read observations
from a local business, economic and
real estate perspective about the
strength of our economy. You will be
at the very least encouraged.
One of the most surprising
attributes of our area is that we
have within our midst the local PBS
broadcast locations, WGCU Public
Media, which originates her on
the campus of Florida Gulf Coast
University (FGCU). Ranking in
the Top Five list of most watched
television stations in our area, could
you be missing out?? Wait till you read
the extent of their programming.
There is denitely more than meets
the eyes and ears.
This month, as always, we have
a complete calendar of events to
help you plan your days and nights
while enjoying the Estero lifestyle.
One such plan should include a step
back in time to the Old Florida style
of dining with a trip to this months
dining feature, Big Hickory Seafood
Grille, a local favorite for more than
four decades. You wont want to miss
the high quality food served in a
relaxed, natural setting.
As we start our journey through
2013 together, I want to express my
appreciation to all of our readers
who have made us part of your
lifestyle. Keep your thoughts, ideas
and suggestions coming. And please
remember that our outstanding
advertising partners make it possible
for you to receive Estero Lifestyle
each month.
Finally, I have great hope for all
of us in the months ahead as well. I
hope that 2013 will be a little kinder
and less barbaric than the nal
months and days of this past year.
For us, the promises of tomorrow look
very bright. Stay positive, dream big
and make the world a better place.
Together we can make a difference.
I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and
Prosperous New Year lled love and
good fortune.
So until next month, Enjoy the
Lifestyle!

say what?
Dr. Dre is known for his music
and now for his headphones. Beats
Solo HD headphones are made to
be a lighter and less expensive on-
ear version of Studios Dres more
expensive headphone product.
Compact enough to fit in your
purse, Beats Solo HD headphones
carry the powerful signature sound
Beats by Dr. Dre products are known
to produce. Solo headphones are the
only Beats product that comes with
two speakers inside each can for
better sounding highs and lows, and
you can easily switch between music
and incoming calls you never have
to take off your headphones.
Noted designers BCBG MAX AZRIA GROUP with
a store at Sawgrass Mills is set to announce their
winter collection. Inspired by Rive Gauche and a sense
of creativity and sophistication, this new collection
will feature colors such as hot pink and turquoise;
neon oral and paisley prints; cheetah in fuchsia and
camel worn with white and a splash of black.
Key silhouettes include stylish and chic Bowie
jackets, skinny relaxed printed pants, Rhianna trouser
pants, halter tops and high-low tops. Fabrics for the
winter season mix an array of textures and looks:
crepes, ultra suedes, and silk blends.
Accessories to make this collection pop even more
include gold and silver jewelry, clutches in colors such
as fuchsia, oversized sunglasses, and colored and
metallic shoes.
The master designers behind the
BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUPs new collection feel that
this collection is different from others because its
colorful but more sophisticated and can be worn at
the resort with whites or at more elegant evenings
with darks.

Booze-infused ice pops sound delicious
and fun, right? Thats what Eddie Masjedi
thought when, one night at home, he tried
to create a special dessert for his wife. So
he mixed different avors of alcohol into
his ice cream and SnBar was born.
SnBars two types of ice-pops,
Margarita and Cosmopolitan, replicate the
avor and experience of the traditional
cocktails. The Margarita ice-pop is made
with premium tequila, lime and triple sec.
The Cosmopolitan ice-pop is made with
premium vodka, triple sec and cranberry.
But Eddie didnt stop there. He also
decided to create delicious ice creams
such as Grasshopper, Pink Squirrel, and
Brandy Alexander Chocolate Chip. With
a pure alcohol content range of 3.59 to
6.41 percent (8.22 to 14.67 alc/vol), each
serving of SnBar ice-pops and ice cream
has the equivalent alcohol percentage of a
full cocktail.
Here are some of the place where you

WITH OVER 100 MILLION GOLF PLAYERS GLOBALLY, there
are so many different types of golf resorts and/or golf courses
to choose from worldwide. There are various things you need to
consider when choosing the golf vacation best suited for you.
According to Lisa Crawford at SitInMySeats VIP Tickets, Travel &
Concierge Services, one of the main things you need to consider
before booking any golf experience is what type of vacation you
want to have. Do you want a relaxing round of golf or would you
prefer an extremely challenging course? Do you want to combine
an amazing trip to an exotic place? Or are you looking for the best
of both worlds?
Weve compiled our own list based on our clients experiences and
our teams research. Left off the list is the infamous St. Andrews
because, quite frankly, there is hardly any course that could stand
the chance against the Home of Golf. So here is our list of
TOP 5 EXOTIC INTERNATIONAL GOLF DESTINATIONS
5 THE PENINSULA HOTEL AND THE THAI COUNTRY CLUB
This golf & lodging destination located in Bangkok could be
classied as a destination on the most exotic level. Designed with
4
5
everyday use members in mind, this world-class
golng destination hosted the Asian Honda Classic
won by Tiger Woods in 1997.
4 THE GOLDEN BEAR LODGE & SPA - Cap Cana, Dominican
Republic With its sugar-white sand beaches, sunshine, and tropical
blue Caribbean waters, there is an intimacy that only a resort like
this can offer.
3 THE LEGEND GOLF & SAFARI RESORT (ENTABENI SAFARI
CONSERVANCY IN SOUTH AFRICAS LIMPOPO PROVINCE)
South Africa has its own allure, and few places can match its beauty.
Pair an exotic vacation destination with one of the most unique and
inspiring course layouts in the world and youll nd yourself at The
Extreme 19th Hole accessible only by helicopter.
2 THE LODGE AT KAURI CLIFF (MATAURI BAY,
NEW ZEALAND) Combines two sister properties
to create an exotic experience that encompasses the
entire country of New Zealand. Many say that you have
not golfed until you have golfed in New Zealand.
1 OLD HEAD GOLF LINKS (SOUTHWEST COAST OF IRELAND
IN COUNTY CORK) A 220-acre diamond-shaped piece of land that
extends more than two miles into the Atlantic Ocean. No wonder
its one of the most recognized and sought-after golf experiences
anywhere on Earth.

LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM | DECEMBER 2012 21
In my 15 years experience in
owning and operating my own
gym, the Rolodex of reasons why
people fail to achieve success
seems to keep growing. Its no
wonder the fitness industry
is a $65 billion business with a
95 percent failure rate. Ive put
together the top reasons in my
experience why people continue
to struggle with losing weight and
achieving better overall health
1
PEOPLE DONT LIKE TO EXERCISE
This cant be overstated. Sure, a fraction of the population
enjoys exercise, myself included. But even we dont enjoy
the actual work. Its the payoff that we crave: looking and
feeling better. I associate it with an actual job: You punch
the clock, suffer through your work week, and collect your
check on Friday.
So clients come up with all kinds of creative ways to
cancel a session (that is, skipping out on work). My favorite:
The women who come to the gym after doing their hair
and tell me, I will work out but I cant sweat right now.
2
SETTING UNREALISTIC GOALS
A common consultation question is, What do you be-
lieve to be your ideal weight? A 170-pound middle-aged
woman will answerme, 120 pounds.
My next question is, Have you ever weighed that in
your adult life? The answerNO! Guess what? Thats
an unrealistic goal. People spend years destroying the
shape of their bodies. Then they make one small two-
times-a-week commitment to exercise, not even chang-
ing their eating habits and they expect drastic results
within six weeks. When they dont see it, they give up!
3
DIETING INSTEAD OF CHANGING
YOUR LIFESTYLE
The third reason is the dreaded diet! Being on a diet
implies that at some point youll go off a diet. Where will that
leave you? The same place you started, looking for some
quick x. I had a client that tried every other fad diet and
then spent $100 on a patch to speed your metabolism. The
last page of the instructions said, This patch will only work
if you exercise regularly and eat a sensible diet. Really?
If I could do that, I wouldnt need this ridiculous patch.
4
CONFRONTING YOUR PSYCHOLOGY
I can put you on a food plan and train you and youll
have temporary success. But whats going on in your
personal life is causing your destructive behavior. Let us
gure that out before true success is achieved. I have a
client who was 100 pounds overweight. He lost a good
portion of it, in the proper way, but he didnt begin to
touch the reasons how he got to this weight in the rst
place. It was no accident, people just arent that hungry.
In fact, for many people, hunger is way down on the list
of reasons to eat. He lost 80 pounds and slowly gained
back 120. People generally do what they have always done
unless they discover why they do it and make some real
changes in their life!

DR. GARY
JACKSON
CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC MIGHT BE THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE
MOOD OF BUSINESS EXECUTIVES IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. WHILE
ECONOMIC INDICATORS APPEAR TO MOVING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION,
RECOVERY HAS BEEN SLOW AND MANY REGULATORY UNCERTAINTIES
LINGER.
A recent survey of Lee County executives found most believe
economic conditions will improve this year. The Executive Business
Climate Survey, conducted by Florida Gulf Coast Universitys Regional
Economic Research Institute (RERI) in partnership with the Horizon
Council, showed local executives feel optimistic, but there remains
uncertainty about the speed of economic
recovery, said Dr. Gary Jackson, the Research
Institutes director.
The survey of more than 100 senior executives
representing a broad range of industries set
the Lee County Business Climate Index at 66,
with anything above 50 indicating an improving
economy. Seventy-three percent of executives
expect economic conditions for their industry
to improve in 2013, and a little more than half
expect to increase employment and investments
this year.
I do see improvement, Jackson said. We
are in recovery.
However, those businesses which have
survived the worst economic recession since
the Great Depression are still in a cautious
mode when it comes to expansion.
Businesses, after we go through a recession
like this, are very careful about hiring, Jackson said. Theres still
some uncertainty out there in terms of health care regulation and
issues in Europe. The ones who have survived are very careful about
spending.
To determine the pulse of the economic outlook in Estero, Estero
Lifestyle Magazine asked some local executives to share how they
feel about our regional economy heading into 2013.

AL ODONNELL/ODONNELL
LANDSCAPES
As a sector of the construction
industry, local landscaping
businesses have experienced
lean times after the housing
bubble burst. Al ODonnell, owner
of ODonnell Landscapes, said
AL
ODONNELL
2013 looks to be stronger compared to
2012, which he considered a mediocre
year for commercial and residential
development.
My industry is tied directly to new
construction, and suffers or thrives
accordingly, he said, noting several new
developments coming online in Estero
this year. 2013 looks to be improving
from the past few years. We are bidding
the type of landscape jobs in new and
expanding communities that have not
been seen in three years.
The most recent Estero Development
Report, produced by the Estero Council
of Community Leaders, shows new
housing starts, single family home sales
and commercial permits increased
slightly in 2012, while numbers remain
weak when compared with pre-recession
gures.
Year-to-date commercial permits
issued in Estero as of October 2012 were
11.7 million, up 5 percent from 2011,
yet far from the 152.47 million issued in
2007. New housing starts were at 273, up
from 165 in 2011, with most of the new
homes being built in Bella Terra, The
Reserve of Estero and Belle Lago. As we
head into 2013, an increasing number of
homes are expected to be constructed
in The Preserve at Corkscrew, which
opened in 2012.
Large commercial projects for 2012
included a $2 million remodeling project
at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point
Resort, clubhouse remodels at Spring
Run and Shadow Wood country clubs and
construction of a new Goodwill store on
Corkscrew Road. Wal-Mart is expected
to begin construction on a new store at
the corner of US 41 and Estero Parkway
this summer.
This area is heavily structured as
a resort and retirement destination,
ODonnell noted. That is our natural
strength, and a great advantage. However,
this strength is cyclical.
This downturn has been tough.
Development and construction industry
rms have gone out of business or
reduced to half or one-quarter in size to
try and hang on. Those of us still here will have a better outlook in 2013 and forward.
DENIS NOAH AND DON THOMSON, HENDERSON FRANKLIN ATTORNEYS
Specializing in commercial real estate transactions, Managing Partner Denis Noah
nds reason to be cautiously optimistic about the local economy in 2013.
Our view is Southwest Florida has had its own problems, in some ways different
than the rest of the country, and we feel we are starting to come out of it, he said.
A lot of times, were rst into recession and the rst out. A lot of that is because we
do have a heavy tourism component to our economy and a residential component
to our economy. At the same time, weve got the sunshine down here the northern
states do not enjoy year round.
DON THOMPSON
DENNIS NOAH
While the foreclosure industry has
been strong in the last four years, Noah
sees the number of distressed properties
decreasing.
The residential foreclosures are
definitely trending down, he said.
There was stated to be a large number
of commercial foreclosures predicted,
but I dont thing it ever came to the level
expected.
While the looming fiscal cliff
could scare of northern investors and
temporarily slow the economy again,
Noah says the natural resources of
Southwest Florida will help our local
economy pull through.
In general, we just have to stay the
course at this point, he said.
Fellow attorney Don Thomson agrees.
Specializing in business planning,
Thomson is active on several economic
councils in Lee County, focusing his
practice in the Bonita Springs-Estero
area.
There seems to be a lot happening
which seems to indicate things will be
getting better in 2013, he said, pointing
to new ownership and renovations at The
Promenade, new residential developments
and a new child development center on
Old 41 -- a success story for the newly
formed Bonita Springs-Estero Economic
Development Council.
The new economic development
council is just a great thing for the area
because theyre letting residents and
businesses who want to move here know
that Bonita Springs, and all of the South
Lee County area, is open for business,
Thomson said.
With the lingering recession came
great opportunity to evaluate our regions
heavy reliance on tourism, hospitality
and construction related industries, he
noted. While those industries will remain
important to economic recovery, local
leaders are attempting to diversify
the economy by courting high tech,
scientic and medical businesses for a
research diamond area including FGCU,
the international airport and biotech
company Algenol Biofuels.
The Southwest Florida Regional
Education Summit in October brought
local educators and business leaders
to discuss ways to improve the ability
and education of our local workforce.
Its something on the minds of executives looking to grow their business.
According to the RERIs Business Climate Survey, lack of qualied
employees was a key factor limiting business expansion in Lee County.
JOHN PICONE/PICONE FINANCIAL PARTNERS
Although the stock market has seen major uctuations throughout the
recession, as economic outlooks and moods tend to sway easily, nancial
planner John Picone recommends taking the long-term approach to
investing in 2013 and beyond.
Constantly reacting to the ever changing current events is not a sound
investment strategy, he said.
Like other local executives, Picone sees reasons for optimism in the year
ahead. He predicts more slow growth as the local economy continues
to rebound.
We have found over the last three decades it pays to be optimistic, he
said. Many people underestimate the strength and size of our economy
and the businesses that help create the U.S. economy. We seem to nd a
way to bounce back from the economic downturns which are inevitable.

Barbaras Friends,
the Chi l drens
Hospital Cancer Fund in 1995
as a way to honor the memory of
their daughter, they set a goal of
raising $100,000 to help local kids
with cancer.
Almost 18 years later, the fund
has raised more than $13 million
and is still going strong. The couple
also founded the Boston Red Sox
Childrens Hospital Celebrity Golf
Classic, an annual event that has
raised more than $6 million for the
Childrens Hospital of Southwest
Florida.
Our community is fortunate
to have people like Frank and
Betty Haskell who are passionate
about helping kids with cancer,
said Jim Nathan, president of Lee
Memorial Health System. They
are passionate and tireless, which
is a formidable combination when
raising money for a good cause.
Fortunately for children diagnosed
with cancer in Southwest Florida,
they just wont take no for an
answer.
On Jan. 18, Barbaras Friends
largest annual fundraiser will
take place at Miromar Outlets.
Broadcast live on Cat Country
107.1-FM, the 11th Annual
Helping Kids with Cancer
Radiothon runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Jan. 18.
While Barbaras Friends enjoys support from numerous
fundraisers each year, the Radiothon typically brings
in $200,000 to $250,000. Barbaras Friends currently is
working toward a goal of raising $10 million for the new
Childrens Hospital to be built on the Health Park campus.
The eight-story facility will have 148 to 160 beds (up
from 98 currently) and house a dedicated pharmacy,
pediatric counseling center, medical resource library,
several playrooms, and diagnostic suites with state-of-
the-art equipment. The Childrens Hospital currently has

MIROMAR OUTLETS
5,000 inpatient admissions each year. Outpatient visits are
expected to grow to 60,000 in 2013.
Fundraising efforts for the project have been given a
huge boost by a pledge from philanthropist B. Thomas
Golisano to match dollar-for-dollar all Childrens Hospital
of Southwest Florida Capital Campaign contributions up
to $20 million.
When you add up the numbers, its about the same gure
the Haskells have been a part of raising for the Childrens
Hospital and its pediatric cancer operations through their
tireless fundraising efforts over the last two decades.
Although everyone isnt able to donate such a large
gure, smaller donations add up, said Frank Haskell, sitting
in a cozy corner of Cypress Cove on the day before his 60th
wedding anniversary. He and Betty recently moved to the
upscale retirement community, which sits within walking
distance of the hospital theyve so generously supported.
At a certain time each afternoon, sunlight strikes the
fountain outside their window just right, never failing
to create a lovely rainbow and reminding them of their
precious daughter, Barbara, who died at age 36 after
a four-year battle with breast cancer. She was a huge
Wizard of Oz fan, who particularly loved hearing Judy
Garland sing, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
The sun shines on that fountain and theres the most
beautiful rainbow you can ever imagine, Frank said. We
just love that time of day because we know shes with us.
The Haskells designed the Barbaras Friends logo as a
rainbow with a heart at the end. The day the Barbaras
Friends Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Center
was opened in November 1999, a huge rainbow arched
above it.
My wife and I just cried, Frank recalled. When
you lose a child of your own, its
devastating. A lot of people never
get over it. We decided we wanted
to keep her memory alive and
celebrate her life, and this has
helped tremendously.
As Barbara went through
chemotherapy and radiation
treatments, she often marveled at
the bravery of the children who
were enduring similar treatments.
Thanks to the fund established in
her memory, local children with
cancer no longer need to travel to
Miami or Tampa for quality care.
Under the direction of Dr. Emad
Salman, the Pediatric Hematology
and Oncology Center now treats
more than 100 children a week,
giving them access to the same
treatment protocols used by large
pediatric cancer hospitals like St.
Jude and allowing families to stay close to home.
In establishing Barbaras Friends, the Haskells have
made a deep impact on the care provided through our
pediatric oncology outpatient center, not only for children
needing medical care, but also in providing support for
their parents and siblings, Nathan said.
On his 80th birthday, Frank, who is now 83, was
honored by the Boston Red Sox during a home game at
Fenway Park, standing in the same spot where baseball
greats like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio once stood.
It was the biggest thrill of my life, said Haskell, a
former salesman who has run the control room for the Red
Sox in Fort Myers for the last two decades. I attended
360 ballgames. I didnt miss a game for 20 years.
While the largest donation ever received by Barbaras
Friends was $1 million from the Yawkey Foundation
(in 2003, after Tom Yawkey sold the Red Sox), another
donation equally stands out in Frank Haskells memory. He
once received a donation of $2.50, from a lady who sent
the nicest note saying she wished she could send more.
No matter how big the contribution, Haskell wants
all donors to know 100 percent of donations stay in
Southwest Florida and are use directly for the care and
treatment of seriously ill children and nancial assistance
for their families.
He encourages area residents to become Barbaras
Friends Guardian Angels, by pledging $25 a month or
giving an annual donation of $300. Donations may be
mailed to: Barbaras Friends Capital Fund, P.O. Box 218,
Fort Myers, FL 33902.

T
his year, WGCU Public Media marks its 30th year of
educating, entertaining, and enlightening Southwest
Florida. While funding for public broadcasting
continues to be debated in Washington and
Tallahassee, WGCU General Manager Rick Johnson
says public media is an invaluable resource.
I believe with all my heart that public broadcasting makes a
positive difference in peoples lives, he said. People feel good
about the time spent watching a show because you learned
something.
Americans and Southwest Floridians overwhelmingly agree.
Federal funding for public television and radio amounts to about
$1.35 per person, and most folks think thats quite a bargain,
Johnson said. A national poll by Hart Research Associates
found Americans trust PBS more than any other media or
government sources of information, and they overwhelmingly
oppose elimination of funding.
The rst time funding was threatened for public television
was during the Nixon administration its been on and off since
then, said Johnson, who has been in public broadcasting for
most of his career and has weathered challenges for decades,
including Gov. Rick Scotts veto of state funding two years ago,
a rst in Floridas history that cost WGCU $522,000 (a portion
of which has since been restored).
Support from the federal government accounts for about one-
sixth of WGCUs overall operating budget. Its not a huge part
of our budget, Johnson said, but its a very important part.
WGCU was fortunate to secure one of the last Department
of Commerce grants before the program ended in December.
Added to funds from other sources, the station was able to
make $800,000 worth of upgrades to its equipment in 2011.
Johnson said he nds Southwest Florida to be extremely
public broadcasting-friendly. Our cumulative audience has
continued to grow, making fundraising more efcient, he said.
Its a very supportive community.
WGCU has been chartered by Florida Gulf Coast University
since 1996, having previously operated as WSFP and licensed
under the University of South Florida. The public broadcasting
station occupied the rst building on the FGCU campus,
Johnson noted.
In the local market, WGCU typically makes the Top Five
list of most watched television stations each week. While PBS
Kids programming is popular during the day, its the Antiques
Roadshow which consistently captures the No. 1 spot for ratings
here. Other popular shows include Masterpieces Downton
Abbey series and newsmagazine Frontline Johnsons cant
live without program that produces thought-provoking
documentaries.
WGCU also produces many of its own documentaries,
highlighting local people and their roles in shaping the history
and culture of Southwest Florida. One of the most signicant
initiatives currently in production is Makers: Women Who
Make Southwest Florida, inspired by the PBS national project
Makers: Women Who Make America.
WGCU received more than 200 nominations and enlisted
a team of community leaders to select 21 inuential women
from seven areas: Arts, Business, Education, Environment,
Healthcare, Politics, and Social Justice. Video and audio
portraits will air on WGCU TV, WGCU FM and online at wgcu.
org. The effort culminates in February with a community
premiere of a documentary showing how these 21 women have
impacted our region.
While most local residents are familiar with WGCUs primary
channel (Comcast Channel 3) and its NPR radio station at 90.1
FM, Johnson wishes more people knew about the stations three
other channels and its newest radio platform.
After Johnson moved from Jacksonville in late 2008 to become
general manager at WGCU, one of his rst tasks was successfully
launching four-station TV service. The lesser known channels
include WGCU World, with 24 hours of nonction programming
including documentaries, news, and talking heads. WGCU
Create features lifestyle and how-to programming, while
The Florida Channel is what Johnson calls Florida C-SPAN.
In August of last year, the station made another signicant
change. It stopped broadcasting classical music on its HD-2 radio
signal and switched to an eclectic mix of blues, rock, world,
folk, and alternative country music known as XPoNential Radio.
While the move angered some listeners, it has brought in
a younger demographic for WGCU, Johnson said. The new
platform also will allow the station to showcase some of the
local talent in our region, he added. Live streaming is available
on wgcu.org.

Come by land or sea to
the Big Hickory Seafood
Grille to experience
a bit of Old Florida
charm while enjoying
quality fresh from the
sea entrees. Herons and
pelicans may be your
dinner companions as
you relax by the waters
of Estero Bay in a place
where time seems to
slow from its modern
frenetic pace.
Tucked between
Bonita Beach and Fort
Myers Beach, just south
of the Big Hickory Pass
Bridge, this waterfront gem is far removed
from corporate dining options and well worth
the drive for those seeking a more authentic
Florida experience. Opened as a sh camp in
1969, Big Hickory has been a local favorite for
decades, with most of its clientele coming by
boat in the early days.
We just want to create a nice feeling for
people to come in and relax and enjoy a little
bit of Old Florida, said Lorna Shrigley, who
purchased the Big Hickory Marina and its
accompanying restaurant with husband Mike
in 2008.
Our neighbors from The Meadows of Estero,
the Shrigleys have made improvements
every year since, advancing the restaurants
reputation for high quality seafood in a
relaxed, natural setting.
Its a very beautiful dining experience,
said Mike, pointing to the tiered al fresco
dining area, ensuring every guest enjoys a
lovely view of the water. The Shrigleys also
have added a cozy side patio with attractive,
ame-encased heaters for those breezy nights
by the bay.
During lunch hours, guests may be
fortunate enough to enjoy the company of Big
Hickorys mascot, Emerald. Hes an elegant
white heron with emerald green eyes. He
usually waits for our shing charter to come
in, Mike said.
Although the calm bay, the unpretentious
building and the hammocks draped from the
dining room ceiling beckon guests to come
on in and stay awhile, the caliber of food
would be t for any white linen establishment.
Just because the server is in shorts and a
T-shirt, dont make the mistake of thinking
Big Hickory is only a place to get a good
grouper sandwich. While the restaurant
does serve outstanding seafood sandwiches
(and amazing mahi tacos), the diverse and
attractively plated dinner selections would
surely please the most discriminating of
palates.
We started with a trio of mouthwatering
appetizers: conch fritters, fried a lovely
golden brown and served with raspberry
chipotle sauce; cooked-to-order tuna tataki
served with ponzu sauce, sambal chili, wasabi
and pickled ginger; and spicy krab rolls with a
zippy mayo and teriyaki glaze. These egg roll-
inspired creations offered a complex avor,
throwing a subtle kick of heat at the end.
Next, we moved on to the soup and salad
dining style
WE JUST WANT TO CREATE
A NICE FEELING FOR PEOPLE TO
COME IN AND RELAX AND ENJOY A
LITTLE BIT OF OLD FLORIDA.
Big Hickory Seafood Grille
For Sea Salts and Landlubbers
course, immensely enjoying the calypso lobster salad,
with its amply sized chunks of meat. A tomato crown
stuffed with artichokes began the illusion of a lobsters
shape, completed with wafer claws jutting off the
plate.
Our party also enjoyed three fabulous soups. While
the lobster bisque was amazing and the seafood gumbo
quite avorful (arriving topped with a mussel), it was
the New England clam chowder, which really blew us
away. Topped with bacon and chives, this creamy soup
was hearty and comforting with a smooth, rich avor
to rival any chowder served in the Northeastern states.
I wouldve been content to stop right there, leaving
with a chowder-induced euphoria...but then I would
have missed out on the amazing seafood yet to come.
While landlubbers will be happy to know prime rib
is served every Monday night, we had come for sh.
Selecting an entree from Big Hickorys Signature
Dishes proved a daunting task.
Our party opted for diversity, providing plenty of
options for sampling! One ordered the classic, fried
seafood platter (Gulf grouper, jumbo shrimp, scallops
and oysters), while another feasted on skewers of
cusabi shrimp and scallops.
Our other dishes came infused with fruity sweetness.
The apple mango grouper featured pan-seared sh
served over Island Rice with a passion fruit drizzle, all
topped with mango salsa. Flavors fuzed nicely with the
sweet chutney packing a crunch from the apples.
Perhaps our favorite dish was the mahi mahi coco
loco, featuring Key West mahi-mahi encrusted with
coconut and panko bread crumbs. The sauce of sauteed
pineapple, nished with coconut rum and pineapple
beurre blanc, created a sweet and creamy topping for
this pia colada inspired dish.
Although we probably shouldnt have, we couldnt
resist nishing our meal on a sweet note. The rich and
creamy, yet soft-avored Tiramisu and the lovely panna
cotta (Italian pudding) adorned with mint sprig and
berries were a perfect ending to our cozy evening by
the bay.
Big Hickory also is home to an award-winning key
lime pie, acclaimed for its rich and dense fudge-like
texture and tanginess by food critic Jean Le Boeuf. The
bayside establishment also has been voted Bonitas
Best Waterfront Restaurant and awarded honors for
best seafood and best grouper sandwich.
Big Hickory Seafood Grille is located at 26107
Hickory Boulevard, two miles north of Bonita Beach
Road. Reservations are not required but may be helpful,

AND
another thing...
WHAT DO HORESHOES AND CURSIVE HAVE IN COMMON?
LP
Your kids cant tell time. Dont believe me? Wait until
youre in a room with an analog clock and a teenager
or twenty-something. Tell them they cant look at their
phones and then ask the time. Point to the analog clock
dial if you have to. They can probably gure it out by
counting out where the little and big hands are, but
they cant just glance at the clock and know the time
like you and I can.
Your kids cant read or write cursive handwriting,
either. A few years ago, I left a note for my kids and
they ignored it. When I asked why, it turned out that
they couldnt read it. Seems they never learned script
in school.
And its not going to change anytime soon. Did you
know that 45 states are considering incorporating a
national educational curriculum for 2014 that doesnt
include teaching cursive handwriting at all? Indiana,
Illinois, and Hawaii are leaving it optional for their
school districts to decide. Utah is still debating the
issue. Only California, Georgia, and Massachusetts have
legislated mandatory cursive writing instruction.
You know what else your kids cant do? They cant
sew. Their idea of darning socks would be tossing
ripped hose in the trash and saying darn! Except they
probably dont know what the word darn means.
Your kids cant talk on the phone, either. Give a kid a
phone without buttons to text on and they hardly know
what to do with it.
Its not like this hasnt happened before, by the
way. How many older people do you know who still
shoe horses? How many still know how to can their
own fruits and vegetables? How many can knit? How
many can crochet? These, too, are activities that were
once commonplace but have been superseded by the
relentless march of technology.
Whether the loss of these skills is ultimately negative
is a bigger conversation than we have time to discuss
here. But its worth considering the unintended
consequences of the cost of technology especially if
youre in the business of selling goods or services to
groups who are soon going to be comprised of these
new consumers.
In a recent Smithsonian article, Talking Heads
frontman David Byrne writes about these consequences:
Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and biologist
Richard Lewontin wrote a paper in 1979 claiming that
some of our skills and abilities might be like spandrels
the architectural negative spaces above the curve of
the arches of buildings details that werent originally
designed as autonomous entities, but that came into
being as a result of other, more practical elements
around them.
So lets talk marketing and branding. How do you
intend to sell products to these spandrels, these people
who think differently than you and I? Not printing your
headlines in a script typeface is an obvious answer but
much more remedial than Im thinking.
What if you were a watch manufacturer? How are
you going to sell timepieces to people who cant tell
time or who are perfectly happy checking the time on
the smartphone that never leaves their hands? How
about if you were a pen maker? How are you going to
sell a pen to someone who doesnt know how to write?
These unintended consequences are outcome
agnostic they create both assets and liabilities. The
trick is to try and spot them early and then look for
the opportunities they provide. Whether its writing
games for Facebook users, building charging stations
for electric vehicle drivers or becoming a privacy and
security consultant for Internet users, the spandrels
that technological advances will continue to create are
the future. Even if they cant tell what time it is.
