From the Editor As we plunge into spring, we can’t help but think of renewal. It’s a time when we remind ourselves to explore new ways to grow and to nudge ourselves to step up, whether it’s in our community, our family, or for our own personal development.

In this issue, we spotlight several locals who are stepping up and standing out. Even in a close-knit small town like ours, there are not enough pages to feature all the amazing men and women who make this community among the best and happiest places to live, retire—and, yes, raise a family.

The faces of Naples are ever-evolving, as our town continues to embrace young innovators and up-and-coming influencers at breakneck speed. We began to see the changes several years ago. In fact, our magazine explored the growth and impact of Naples’ next generation in an in-depth feature back in October 2015. Last year, we launched our first Millennials Issue featuring the town’s “Rising Stars.” This month, we continue what is now an annual tradition in showcasing millennials who are committed to Naples and its future. Turn to page 62 to meet this year’s “Rising Stars.” The photo shoot’s backdrop— The Rev’s Institute—was ideal for a blending of generations. The nonprofits’ founder, Miles Collier, opened his collection of spectacular autos to the public to share the rich history of the automobile with our entire town.

Of course, no matter our age, health care is also a huge part of our lives that is always top of mind. We are introducing a Top Physicians feature in this issue, beginning on page 91, where we highlight the ways several doctors in our area are giving back to underserved communities at home and abroad. Their contributions and commitment to use their talent and service in such selfless ways is humbling and hopeful.

May we all be inspired by their grace and compassion.

RELAPSE IS NOT A FAILURE

Treating Addiction as a Disease How Caron Treatment Centers sets the standard for substance abuse care.

IS ADDICTION A DISEASE OR A CHOICE? As the experts at Caron Treatment Centers explain, the answer is clear: Addiction is a chronic disease, and as such, includes episodes of relapse and remission. “Relapse is not a failure. Relapse is a symptom of a chronic illness,” says Brad Sorte, executive director of Caron Renaissance and Caron Ocean Drive, both located in Florida. Sorte and the team at Caron Treatment Centers are working tirelessly to improve the stigma around addiction and how it is treated. Here, Brad Sorte answers some of the most central questions surrounding addiction.

Does medical research support the concept of treating addiction as a chronic disease?

How can treating addiction as a disease improve a person’s path to sobriety?

How can the medical community better approach addiction treatment?

F Researchers from the National Institutes of Health used brain imaging technology to take a closer look at the impact of drugs and alcohol on an individual’s brain. They found significant long-term disruptions in the regions controlling a person’s memory, learning, impulse control and stress reactivity. When drug or alcohol use is repeated, the brain resets to compulsive behavior, limiting how much control the person has over the desire to seek and use substances.

F For many years, only one outcome was considered successful: lifetime abstinence. Deeming lifelong remission as the only successful outcome isn’t useful for patients or for their families—their relapse is not a failure, it’s a reoccurrence of their disease. If we begin to view addiction as a chronic illness when developing treatment plans, doctors and patients would be able to better discuss symptoms, start a dialogue that could lead to early identification and intervention, and prevent the development of more advanced, more severe manifestations of the disease. Ultimately, it would improve the ability to tailor treatment plans and examine drug and alcohol dependence.

F Healthcare professionals need to broaden their thinking about treatment plans that are based in science, with proven methods. Instead of thinking of addiction treatment only in terms of 12-step, faith-based, or medicationassisted programs, we need to tailor individual treatment plans based on the affected person. We need to focus on how their addiction manifested, work with the family, and evaluate where they are in the disease cycle so we can assess the best course of treatment, and create a treatment continuum that supports their recovery even after their inpatient or outpatient treatment ends.

What should families look for in a treatment center to make sure their loved one’s addiction is treated like a chronic disease?

F Providers should offer a comprehensive approach. At Caron Treatment Centers, we create a multi-systemic, outcomes-based approach to treating substance-use disorders. We evaluate the individual patient and their addiction to determine which evidence-based therapies and treatments will best fit that individual’s needs.

If you suspect a loved one is suffering from addiction, reach out for help that heals your whole family. Caron Treatment Centers’ integrated approach treats the disease of addiction by tailoring plans that lead your loved one toward long-term sobriety. For more information on treatment options, or help approaching a loved one about their addiction, visit caron.org/executive.

Let the Good Times Rolls This year’s Naples Winter Wine Festival charity auction saw a 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom raise big money for at-risk kids

NWWF auction

LOUIS VENNE PHOTOGRAPHY

ANNUAL EGG HUNTS AT ROYAL Going once...going twice...sold! With a thwack of a gavel at the Naples Winter Wine Festival, part-time Naples resident Jon Mason became the proud owner of a magnificent 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII limousine.

“I love cars,” Mason says. “I have a collection of 50 classics at home in Ohio, and if I prick my finger, oil will run out. It was great to come away with a new Rolls-Royce while supporting such a great cause.”

Mason’s bid at the festival’s auction in late January topped the list of 61 lots that ranged from high-luxe automobiles to the finest wines to dream trips. More than 600 bidders squeezed into the big tent on the grounds of the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, bidding paddles at the ready.

In all, the auction raised more than $15 million for the Naples Children and Education Foundation, which supports charities serving at-risk and underprivileged children in Collier County.

After a morning of wine tasting, and tables inside the tent groaning under the weight of bottles, there was a real carnival atmosphere as the auctioneer kicked off with Lot 1, a truffle-themed dinner for 10 couples at Sea Salt Naples. Sold for $140,000.

Lot 16 for the 2018 Phantom was definitely the headliner of the event. This was for the very first Phantom VIII built.

And in keeping with the wine theme, it was painted in the deepest, richest shade of Burgundy red that Rolls calls Belladonna Purple. Prince would have loved it.

“Who’ll start me off with $150,000?” shouted the arm-twirling auctioneer Humphrey Butler, resulting in a sea of waving paddles egged on by hoots and hollers from the passionate crowd. “This isn’t any old Rolls-Royce, it’s the same model driven

by John Lennon and Lady Gaga.”

Bidding soared; $500,000, $600,000, $700,000. This was about the time Jon Mason, encouraged by wife Bonnie, joined the fray. At $770,00, and after 12 minutes and 30 seconds of bidding, his rival paddle-raiser said “enough,” and the Rolls went to the Masons. Sold for $780,000.

“All Bonnie and I knew was that we were going to buy something,” he told me afterward. Yet when asked if he went to the auction intending to bid on the purple Rolls, the soft-spoken 73-year-old replied with a smile: “Not really, we only came for the lunch.”

MICHAEL CARONCHI

NI: Which scents do you recommend for spring?

Sherles: We have quite a collection that includes many types of rain, lilac, clean cotton, lily of the valley, violet, and roses. It is especially fun to mix a floral with the scent of dirt to make the bloom smell freshly picked.

What are a few unique combinations?

We’ve had so many that popular demand led us to post some of the recipes on Facebook. One combination that stands out in my mind was created by a local attorney who held an event at the store for her law firm. Somehow, through the process of sharing scents, she created a mixture of sweet grass and Kahlua, which at first sounds terrible—but it’s amazing.

MICHAEL CARONCHI

During Tracy Sherles’ travels around the world, she had always enjoyed creating custom-scented products. “I felt the experience had a compelling allure,” she says. Nearly four years ago, she decided to put her own twist on bespoke fragrances and set up shop in Bayfront, Naples. The Myxn Scents Bar & Boutique (myxnscents.com) features 500 scents that visitors can blend to make more than 30 customized products—from perfume and cologne to shampoos, lotions, room sprays, and even dryer balls. “Anyone who mixes at the bar inevitably leaves with a unique scent in our database, a creatively inspired name for that scent, and stories that came from the journey to that scent,” Sherles says. A cross between an oldworld apothecary, a spa, and a library, the Myxn Bar is a place to indulge in a deeply sensory and transportive experience. –Teri Evans

What are your personal favorites?

I especially love the scents of the harvest. Pumpkin, clove, ginger, nutmeg, and a little bit of orange make up my favorite room diffusers, pet shampoo, and dryer balls. As a daily staple, lemon verbena or lemongrass are usually included in my lotions and pillow spray.

BRIGHT AND SUNNY

A Bay Colony condo is inspired by its seaside surroundings

Warm hues of blue on the chairs and sofa paired with the rich striped drapery fabric add warmth and sophistication to the living area. Cherry wood and marble floors complement the palette, while discreetly giving the view center stage. In the dining area, a Chihuly-inspired chandelier is reminiscent of sea life and the hand-hammered nickel pedestals and crackled-glass tabletop convey custom elegance.

L

ana Knapp vividly remembers her first encounter with a Bay Colony apartment she was commissioned to revitalize. The condo, located on the ninth floor of the Naples high-rise, was so dark and dated that the breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico were barely noticeable.

Opening up and modernizing the dreary space was a tall order, but Knapp was up to the challenge.

Knapp, a senior interior designer for Collins & DuPont Design Group in Bonita Beach and Naples, gutted the 4,500-square-foot condo, keeping only the recently installed cherry wood and marble flooring. “Almost every space being renovated has something good to offer, and I want to keep any redeeming qualities,” Knapp says. “For example, the ceilings in this condominium were high and the windows were big.”

The foyer, however, was square and sunlight-deprived. To brighten the space, Knapp widened the door leading to the family room, allowing natural light to spill in and establishing a visual connection to the beach from the moment of entry. Because the square shape was dated, she curved two of the walls and added a circular ceiling. The pattern is repeated on the floor with concentric circles of iridescent aqua tile mosaic.

Because her client loves the ocean, Knapp selected a color palette of blues, along with various shades of sand and white accents, and fabrics that mimic the movement of the gentle Gulf waves. The custom, Chihuly-inspired chandeliers recall graceful sea life and continue the fluid, oceanic vibe throughout the home.

The undersea motif is repeated in the kitchen with custom white cabinetry and aqua glass countertops. The jellyfish-like crystal chandelier commands presence above the breakfast table composed of concrete and resin with tiny bits of sea glass.

Cozy and comfortable, the great room is the perfect gathering spot for family and friends. Linen fabrics on the chairs and sofa are as cool as a summer breeze, especially in soft shades of blue that blend into the view beyond the glass doors. Horizontal striped draperies, suggestive of rippling waters, frame the panorama.

A portion of the great room is devoted to the dining area, a light-filled space with modern accents such as hand-hammered nickel pedestals and a crackled glass tabletop. The chairs, a combination of leather and striped silk, are as practical as they are handsome. The art-glass chandelier, with its blue and white tentacles of light, is reminiscent of an exotic creature from the deep.

The kitchen continues the seaside theme. Once closed and gloomy, it was instantly buoyed by white custom cabinetry and aqua glass countertops. The

island’s marble countertop with its sea-glass colors of cobalt blue, green, and aqua, as well as the jellyfish-like crystal chandelier hovering above it, repeats the undersea motif.

In the adjacent breakfast room, Knapp experimented with a custom material composed of concrete and resin embedded with shells and tiny chips of sea glass. “It doesn’t stain and is virtually carefree,” she says. “A glass tabletop next to a window shows every fingerprint and imperfection. I like a material that doesn’t reflect anything but has reflective qualities in it.”

Following a hallway to the guest bedrooms, one encounters another example of art glass—a transparent blue sculpture shaped like a jellyfish. It appears to float within a semicircular niche, radiating energy and movement

as if it were a living thing. Behind the sculpture, a hand-painted wallpaper with millions of tiny iridescent crystals creates the illusion of water.

A private lanai off the master bedroom captures the glorious scenery and light at the beginning and end of the day. For this client, it’s an ideal way to enjoy the sunrise and sunset dancing upon the water. Mirrored panels behind the wood nightstands bring that same view indoors and reflect light, ensuring the space is always bright and sunny.

The transformed condo exudes a sense of place and an elegant yet informal mood. “Function is paramount,” Knapp says. “I want everything to be beautiful, but not so perfect that you don’t use the space and just walk past it.” «

It made the lanai feel less serious, more inviting and fun, and perfect for entertaining friends and family over a glass of lemonade or sangria.” (773-360-8442, sum​ merthorn​tondesign.com)

towering mountains and turquoise lakes? Switzerland has that in spades.

An über-efficient nationwide rail system that zips travelers from one corner to another in superior silence and comfort? It’s commuter transportation like no other. An enduring commitment to quality and craftsmanship? It can be felt and seen almost anywhere. A standard of service the rest of the world aspires to offer?

You better believe it.

Perhaps no place in Switzerland embodies the notion of Swissness more than Lausanne, a French-speaking city of fewer than 140,000 on the shores of Lake Geneva. Lausanne is best known as Olympic land. It’s the home of the International Olympic Committee’s headquarters as well as the Olympic Museum and Olympic Park (olympic.org), an interactive hilltop campus that overlooks Lake Geneva and the Jura Mountains. A self-guided tour takes visitors through decades of history, with memorabilia ranging from promotional posters to athletes’ uniforms and sporting equipment—a surprisingly thrilling sight, even for the least sports-minded of guests. Peruse miniature models of Olympic stadiums and shed a tear while watching a montage of moments from opening ceremonies past. When it’s time for a snack break, the playful, sports-themed menu at the museum’s colorful TOM café serves light fare and heartier options such as beef tartare and cheeseburgers—all without a winding THE OLYMPIC MUSEUM © CIO - LYDIE NESVADBA

It’s a term the Swiss proudly use to describe that certain something that makes their country arguably one of the most desirable travel destinations in the world. But ask them what the term means exactly, and you’ll likely be answered with a long pause.

It’s almost impossible to boil down the country’s most appealing characteristics into a few words. Stunning scenery marked by

buffet line. The best reason to dine there is the café’s alfresco terrace, which has one of the best lake views in all of Lausanne.

For a true taste of how Swissness translates to the plate, no culinary experience outshines Anne-Sophie Pic (anne-sophie-pic.com), the two-Michelin-star flagship restaurant inside the city’s grande dame Beau-Rivage Palace hotel (brp.ch). Herself a three-Michelin-star chef with a signature eatery in Valence, France, Pic appointed Kevin Gatin to oversee her Lausanne location, where dishes center around local, seasonal ingredients that evoke memories of “family, love, and nature.” And with marine ingredients like scallops and lobster sourced from Normandy and Brittany, respectively, Pic’s native France is never far from mind. Come springtime, the restaurant’s patio turns into seating space, allowing brisk lake breezes to complement Pic’s nostalgic cuisine.

Arguably the most fitting ending to a meal at Anne-Sophie Pic is an overnight (or two) at the Beau-Rivage Palace, which opened

in 1861 and has since welcomed dignitaries, artists, royals, and celebrities. During its latest renovation from 2012-2014, interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon cloaked the guest rooms in pretty pastel and neutral tones, and strategically added mirrored surfaces to allow natural light and reflections

For adventures farther afield, ride Lausanne’s delightfully dependable metro to the city’s main Lausanne Gare station, from where the country’s national railway dispatches passengers to cities and towns throughout Switzerland. Explorations within easy reach include Geneva (a 35-minute ride west), Vevey (15 minutes to the east), and Montreux (18 to 27 minutes, depending on when you commute). While in Vevey, visit the Chaplin’s World museum (chaplinsworld.com), dedicated to the famed silent film star. And try to time your trip to Montreux between June 29 and July 14, when major names in pop, hip-hop, and contemporary music descend upon the town for its namesake jazz festival (montreuxjazzfestival.com).

Will a Lausanne vacation bring you closer to capturing Swissness in its purest form? Probably not. But one thing is for sure: With world-class cuisine, an international music scene, and a legendary luxury hotel, it’s hard to imagine a place more splendidly Swiss than Lausanne. «

So how does silence sound? Slide behind the wheel and gently touch the start button. What you hear is absolutely nothing. It’s uncanny. It’s mystic. It’s downright spooky. I lost count of the number of times I asked myself, “Is it running?”

Select drive, squeeze the throttle, and the Phantom surges forward like a Gulfstream G550 on takeoff, purposefully gathering momentum. While the brochure claims it can waft from standstill to 60 mph in a hair over five seconds, the only sensation of velocity is your spine being squeezed into the seatback. Engine noise? Sleeping babies breathe louder.

This mechanical refinement is only matched by the unbelievable smoothness of the Phantom’s ride. Picture being transported atop a cloud, and you’re still not close to describing the sensation of riding in this Roller.

Much of this magic carpet experience comes down to the car’s improved self-leveling air suspension with active-roll stabilization. But there’s an amazing twist here; a stereo camera system integrated into the windshield actually scans the road ahead, seeking out lumps and bumps. If it spies a ridge or a pothole, it will instantaneously adjust the suspension to absorb the shock.

The same system will dramatically reduce the amount of body roll on curves, while new rear-wheel steering will tighten the car’s turning radius. And whereas the previous car always felt Peterbilt big, unwieldy, and frankly quite intimidating to pilot, this latest version, with its all-new I-beam-stiff aluminum chassis, is far more agile and athletic.

RISING STARS

ON THE

RIDE

BY ANDREA BOSCO STEHLE I PHOTOGRAPHY BY VANESSA ROGERS Shot on location at The Revs Institute, Naples

As millennials continue to make their mark on the community, NI celebrates Naples’ next generation with six rising stars who are leading the way Kiren Jones Selling Supervisor, Gucci Kiren Jones has proven his business acumen on a global scale in the luxury goods and jewelry industry. Originally from the United Kingdom, Jones received a master’s degree in business administration from Webber International University before starting his career in the world of high-end retail. Since joining Gucci at Waterside Shops in 2011, he has earned worldwide recognition as a top performer and was among a select few to travel to Seoul, South Korea, to coach sales associates.

The 31-year-old chronicles his worldwide adventures on Instagram (find him @kiren.jones), but appreciates the simple joys Southwest Florida has to offer. “Naples was never in my plans, but what a beautiful city to put down roots,” he says. “I travel all over the world but I am always happy to come back home.” Personal style: It’s either a three-piece suit or board shorts, there’s no in-between. Most prized possession: Family. I have many prized possessions, but the thing I value most is family. What drives him: Not to settle for mediocrity. To keep striving for the unachievable. There is no such word as “can’t,” and when someone tells me I cannot do something, that is the ultimate drive. Words to live by: Opportunity favors the prepared mind. Fun fact: I love to fish. I alway carry a fishing pole and tackle bag in my car. I’ll fish anywhere. If there were fish in the Waterside fountains, I would try to catch them. Hidden talents: I taught myself to play piano and drums and can play most instruments by ear. I’m also pretty good at impressions.

Leeza Arkhangelskaya Owner, East West Fine Art Leeza Arkhangelskaya left a promising position in international economics to dedicate her life to bringing beauty to those around her. She and her mother, Olga, own and operate East West Fine Art galleries in Mercato and Bigham Galleria. Both locations display museum-caliber art from Russia and Eastern Europe, a genre for which Arkhangelskaya is a tireless advocate. “Selling art is only a part of the business,” she says. “To share my love of art with the community is equally important.” In 2013, the mother-daughter duo founded RAMA: The Russian American Museum of Art, and Arkhangelskaya frequently makes presentations on Russian art topics for social groups and nonprofits. When it comes to philanthropic endeavors, the 33-year-old feels honored to work on a local level, where she believes true change is possible and visible.

She’s an active member of the Friends of the Foundation Committee, a young friends auxiliary group for the Naples Children and Education Foundation, and she also uses her connections within the art world to donate works to worthy causes and host fundraising events at her galleries. Biggest inspiration: Valentina Tereshkova, the first female astronaut and only woman in history to go on a solo space mission. She was not only groundbreaking in her career but in society and on a global scale. Surprising fact: I’ve lived in seven countries. Must-have tech tool: GPS. I dreamt of it 20 years before it was invented. I think it has saved me a year of my life. Hidden talents: I study gemology and make gemstone jewelry. I also make “Hats for Cats” fascinators and donate the profits to Naples Cat Alliance. Favorite place: Bird Rookery Swamp is the best hidden biking trail. There are so many gators, you have to push them out of the way with your bike.

Brian Herrick Relationship Manager, Key Private Bank The son of a U.S. diplomat, Brian Herrick grew up all over the world. He returned stateside in 2001 and earned his undergraduate degree while serving in the Virginia Army National Guard. Fastforward to 2014, and Herrick and his wife, Mackenzie, relocated to Naples to continue his career with Key Private Bank, where he serves affluent families and business owners as a relationship manager. “Despite some nearly catastrophic setbacks, I have learned to leverage those experiences and, in some cases, leapfrog those who took a more predictable path,” he says. “I don’t think I would be where I am without those valuable life lessons.” For Herrick, that push goes hand in hand with furthering his education and giving back to his community. This year, he’s expected to complete his MBA in financial planning and earn his Certified Financial Planner designation. A founding member of Leadership Collier Foundation’s Emerging Leadership Council, 34-year-old Herrick is the class of 2018 chair for LCF’s Growing Associates in Naples (GAIN) program. He also serves on the board of directors for LCF, Young Professionals of Naples, and the Fort Myers Symphonic Mastersingers. Favorite book: My reading has been confined to textbooks as of late, but when I was younger the Roald Dahl books captured my imagination. Biggest inspiration: Warren Buffett, because of his humility and pragmatism. Best stress reliever: Bourbon and close friends. Favorite restaurant: Swan River’s tuna panini is a guilty pleasure, and I love Jimmy P’s Butcher Shop. On his bucket list: Travel the world, write a book, and learn to play the piano. Playing on repeat: “Rise Up” by Andra Day.

Mackenzie Herrick Senior Manager of Distinguished Events, American Cancer Society Mackenzie Herrick, 32, began her rewarding journey with the American Cancer Society in 2014 when she and her husband, Brian, moved to Naples from Burlington, Vermont. Since the start of Herrick’s tenure, the organization has raised more than $3.5 million through the Bucket List Bash charity event. In her former development role with ACS, she had the pleasure of working closely with some of Naples’ most accomplished and inspirational men and women, individuals whom she hopes to emulate. “I am driven by my desire to be reliable, trustworthy, and accomplished,” she says. “I pursue perfection and aspire to be someone others can depend on to keep [her] word and deliver results.” A former state titlist in indoor track and field, Herrick often participates in obstacle course races and sprint triathlons. She’s also a talented singer.

This baseball season, she’ll perform the national anthem at several Fort Myers Miracle games. But beyond these achievements, Herrick is most proud of her career and the work she does every day to save and celebrate lives, and to lead the fight for a world without cancer. Never leaves home without: My phone. It’s the portable host of my calendar and all my accounts. Between work, volunteer efforts, and recreational activities, I rely on my phone to keep me organized. Personal style: Classic and feminine. Hidden talent: Sewing. I made the dress I wore at my high school graduation, and I still sew today. Guilty pleasure: My mother’s homemade macaroni and cheese with extra-sharp Vermont cheddar. On her bucket list: To compete on The Voice. I have been in the live audience, and the next step is to get on stage.

Most recently, the 35-year-old helped to raise funds for a multimillion dollar expansion at NTRC to include new stables and a multipurpose training room. She’s lived in Naples since 2008 and credits the Leadership Collier Foundation’s GAIN program with solidifying her connection to the community. “I remember being surprised to see so many young faces,” she says.

“The first day of introductions was great and that’s when I became even more enthusiastic about being part of GAIN. It was inspiring to be around so many passionate, hardworking, fun, young individuals.” Surprising fact: My diet is closely related to a plant-based or vegan diet.

As part of her quest to give back, Marinelli, 34, recently became a member of the Greater Naples Chamber Board and has served as honorary chair for Path2Freedom’s inaugural Red Gala, supporting the organization’s efforts to rescue and rehabilitate young human trafficking victims in Southwest Florida. In 2016, she was named one of Business Observer’s 40 under 40 on the Gulf Coast and was chosen to be in Leadership Florida’s Connect Class VII, a statewide leadership program. “It seems so simple, but my dad advised me to always do the right thing and you will never have to worry about what others think or say about you.

It applies to every aspect of life.” Millennial misconception: No work ethic.

Wouldn’t it be great to help others plan adventures around the world? Most prized possession: A necklace my mom gave me on my wedding day.

PORSCHE DESIGN CHRONOGRAPH 911 TURBO S EXCLUSIVE SERIES

Porsche buyers looking for the ultimate roadgoing 911 tend to set their sights on the truly awesome Turbo S, a 580-horsepower, twinturbo, wide-bodied rocket ship. To satisfy the desires of those in the market for something even more superior, Porsche has created the new 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. Just 500 are being offered, with power upped to 607 hp, a head-rotating metallic yellow paint scheme, and new black and gold wheels. Subtle it is not. But even priced from an eye-watering $257,500, it won’t be long before all 500 are scooped up. For anyone spending that kind of loot, handing over another $12,650 for a matching timepiece is a no-brainer. And what a watch. Created by Porsche Design, it marks the carmaker’s first foray into in-house movement. The case is perfectly sized at 42 mm and is made of carbide-coated titanium with a carbon fiber dial. Taking cues from the car, the watch features a golden stripe with yellow tachymeter scales around the edge. The really cool part of the design, however, is on the back, where the winding rotor looks just like one of the 911’s forged alloy wheels, complete with a Porsche shield badge in the center.

HUBLOT TECHFRAME FERRARI TOURBILLON

While you’re breathlessly awaiting delivery of your brand new $211,000 Ferrari Portofino next summer (a more hardcore replacement for the California T), satisfy your Prancing Horse cravings with a fancy Ferrari watch. Hublot, Ferrari’s official horological partner, has released the Techframe Ferrari Tourbillon Chronograph, which feels about as close as you can get to wearing a new Portofino on your wrist. The timepiece was timed to the seventieth anniversary of the first Ferrari-badged sports car, the 1947 125 Sport. But in lieu of an existing Hublot model with a Ferrari 70 logo pasted to the face, the Techframe is an all-new watch with a spectacular design. Ferrari’s styling department in Maranello, Italy, came up with the tough-yet-lightweight lattice structure around the mechanism, along with the Ferrari Red stopwatch pusher on the side. The watch oozes Formula 1 technology and, at 45 mm wide, is nicely sized. Three versions are on offer: Titanium ($127,000), PEEK Carbon ($137,000), and King Gold ($158,000), with 70 of each available.

Car-themed watches don’t come better than this. (hublot.com)

3 BREITLING FOR BENTLEY GT DARK SAPPHIRE You’ve pored over the photos of the new Bentley Continental GT, drooled over its sensuous curves, palpitated at the thought of taming its uprated 626-horsepower W-12, tremored at the anticipation of running your fingers over all that buttery-smooth quilted leather. Sadly, you’ll just have to wait. While European Bentley-istas can take delivery early this year, stateside buyers must exercise patience until the fall. Not fair. But there’s one way to partly satisfy your lust for the 2019 Conti: Buy the watch.

Breitling, Bentley’s official watch partner, is offering a new Breitling for Bentley GT Dark Sapphire Edition chronograph in honor of the upcoming Continental GT. As wrist candy goes, it’s divine. One of its horological highlights is a huge 48-mm case, made from Breitling Breitlight, a carbon fiber–reinforced polymer composite. It’s said to be extremely light, nonmagnetic, and resistant to scratches. The color is a delicious midnight blue, complemented by a diamond-pattern dial and rubber strap.

Breitling’s familiar B06 movement powers the watch, delivering 70 hours of power reserve plus an innovative 30-second chronograph function that cuts the main second hand’s travel time in half, allowing it to make a full rotation in half a minute.

No, I don’t know why you need it either. Just 500 pieces will be made, with pricing to come. (breitlingforbentley.com)

BULGARI OCTO MASERATI GRANSPORT

Maserati and Bulgari. These two great Italian brands go together like pasta and porcinis. When taking delivery of your new Maserati GranSport convertible, you might want to mark the occasion by purchasing a new Bulgari Octo GranSport timepiece. Unveiled last fall, the GranSport has a decidedly funky operation, characterized by a single hand and an hour display placed in the small window where the date is typically shown. Oh, and the numbers on the face only show zero to six, echoing the rev counter of the Maserati. Think of it as an exercise in form over functionality. The watch features Bulgari’s long-running Octo octagon-in-a-circle design with a 41-mm diameter and its signature “Diamond Like Carbon”–treated steel case. In honor of the GranSport’s automotive link, the trademark Maserati trident rests beneath the hour window. On the back, the clear window features a bigger trident (obstructing the view of the Bulgari movement) and the Maserati, Modena, Italy script.

Rounding out the look is a perforated black leather strap with contrasting blue stitching.

The GranSport is available through Bulgari stores for $12,800. (bulgari.com)

5 OMOLOGATO LAGUNA SECA Mention the word “corkscrew” to any gasoline-blooded auto enthusiast, and it won’t be images of wine that come to mind. More likely, it will be the downhill-plunging Turn 8 at the famed Laguna Seca racetrack near Monterey, California. To celebrate the challenging 2.2-mile roller coaster track with a 185-foot elevation change, the upstart British watchmaker Omologato has created a Laguna Seca timepiece. As with many automotive watches of old, this creation’s face is tilted at a 45-degree angle so drivers don’t have to move their hands off the steering wheel to see the time. The detailing is lovely, with white numbers on a black background, the 12 colored in Laguna Seca blue, and the track logo just above the six. Flip it over to find an engraving of the track’s outline. If there’s one disappointment it’s that, as with all Omologato pieces, the movement is quartz rather than mechanical. The huge positive, however, is that the Laguna Seca watch costs just £299, or slightly less than $440 (with shipping) from the United Kingdom. (omolgatowatches.com)

BAUME & MERCIER CLIFTON CLUB SHELBY COBRA Back in 1964, when racing legend Carroll Shelby wanted to give his iconic two-seat roadster a higher top speed for longdistance races like 24 Hours of Le Mans, he asked a young ex-General Motors designer named Pete Brock to create an aerodynamic body that could fit the 289 Cobra’s existing chassis. The result was the breathtaking fastback Shelby Cobra Daytona that, straight out of the box, won its class at Le Mans in ’64 and dominated the World Sportscar series in ’65. Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier has been celebrating Shelby’s iconic Cobra Daytona since 2015 with a series of limited edition chronographs featuring the racing team’s famous red, white, and blue color scheme. One of the most collectible items in the series is the Clifton Club Shelby Cobra 10344 flyback chronograph, with production limited to 196 pieces (the car reached a top speed of 196 mph on Le Mans’ famous Mulsanne Straight). The face, designed by Brock, is half-blue, half-white, just like the tail of the Daytona Coupe, and is complemented by a 44-mm case featuring pushers modeled after the car’s pedals. Flip the watch over and the exposed back uses a winding rotor that mimics the Cobra’s forged-magnesium wheels.

Priced at $7,950, the watch comes in a gorgeous presentation box with a model of the race car. (baume-et-mercier.com)

BREMONT MKII

Enzo Ferrari once described Jaguar’s E-type as the most beautiful car ever made. Arguably the most ravishing of all E-types was the so-called Lightweight version that dominated sports car racing in the early 1960s. Jaguar planned to build 18 Lightweights but finished just 12. Fast-forward to May 2014 and Jaguar announced it would complete the six “missing” cars, all of which were quickly snapped up by eager enthusiasts who paid a reputed $1.5 million each. To add to the occasion, Jaguar partnered with young British watchmaker Bremont to create six unique chronometers for the owners, each inscribed with their E-type’s serial and engine number. Thankfully, Jaguar and Bremont didn’t let the relationship end after the Continuation watches were delivered.

There’s now a lineup of E-type watches featuring pretty much the same design as the limited editions. Our favorite is the MKII ($6,795) with its 43-mm mirror-polished stainless steel case and perforated calf leather racing strap. The detailing is superb—from the glass back showcasing the rotor modeled after an E-type steering wheel, to the winder engraved with the grooves of a vintage racing tire. (bremont.com)

SINGER REIMAGINED TRACK 1

8

Take one shabby ’90s vintage Porsche 911, hand over a check for $500,000, and California-based Singer Vehicle Design will transform it into a Porsche 911 like no other. Wealthy buyers the world over wait patiently for Singer to perform its magic and create a customized masterpiece that drives as magnificently as it looks. With so many car lovers being equally enamored with watches, it made sense for Singer to dip a toe into the horological waters and offer a high-end timepiece bearing its name. Enter the Singer Reimagined Track 1. It’s the fruits of a collaboration between watch designer Marco Borraccino, Swiss watchmaker Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, and Singer founder Rob Dickinson—and it’s an absolute stunner. Made of lightweight titanium, it measures 43 mm across and 15 mm thick and features a complex new automatic chronograph movement from Wiederrecht’s Geneva-based operation, Agenhor. The entire center of the watch is the chronograph, with the time hands positioned on the outside ring. It’s this complexity and exclusivity—only 50 of the launch edition pieces are available—that justify the nearly $40,000 sticker price. (singerreimagined.com)

TAG HEUER MONACO GULF SPECIAL EDITION

Ever since the “King of Cool” Steve McQueen first strapped a Heuer Monaco to his wrist in the 1971 movie Le Mans, this square-cased timepiece has been a musthave for collectors. The watch was introduced back in 1969 to celebrate the Monaco Grand Prix and discontinued in the mid-1970s due to—unbelievably enough— lack of interest. With TAG’s (short for Techniques d’Avant Garde) takeover of Heuer, some bright marketing professional decided it might be worth reviving the McQueen connection with a re-edition in 1998. The rest, as they say, is history. The Gulf Special, the latest in a multitude of special Monaco editions, celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the famous Gulf Oil stripes. In Le Mans, McQueen’s character, Michael Delaney, wears a racing suit outfitted with Gulf Oil’s signature blue, white, and orange palette. This latest $5,900 watch—which is only being offered in the U.S.—boasts stripes in the same colors along with a Gulf logo just above the date window. It’s finished with a blue calfskin racing strap with orange stitching. (tagheuer.com)

ZENITH EL PRIMERO RANGE ROVER VELAR

Mark my words: Range Rover’s sleek Velar sport-ute is going to be the hottest new performance SUV of 2018. Priced from around $50,000 (closer to $70,000 nicely loaded) it sits between the quirky-looking Evoque and Land Rover’s top-selling Range Rover Sport. And being loosely based on Jaguar’s F-Pace, it drives like a dream. Land Rover has had a partnership with Swiss watchmaker Zenith since 2016, so it was natural for the two brands to join forces for a timepiece to celebrate the Velar’s debut. And what a cool piece it is. Its 42-mm case is made of stealthy black ceramicised aluminum to complement the Velar’s aluminum body. The face also features coppercolored hands, sub-dials, and tachymeter scales to mirror the copper accents on the car’s front vents and side accents. For one final piece of matchmaking, the Zenith’s zigzag-patterned perforated leather strap picks up on the leather used for the Velar’s seats. Unlike the first Zenith Range Rover collaboration, which was criticized by watch lovers for having “Range Rover” emblazoned on the dial, wearers have to flip the watch over to see any mention of Velar or the maker. The price of this Velar for the wrist? Around $8,700. (zenith-watches.com) «

CLOSING THE GAP

A retired physician steps up to provide muchneeded care to Collier County’s underserved seniors When Edward Banaszak retired as the medical director of respiratory services at a Wisconsin hospital in 2000, he and his wife chose Naples to start their next chapter. Little did he know that chapter would involve an opportunity to give back with a new perspective and focus. By 2003, he began volunteering at the Senior Friendship Health Center, which has been providing medical and dental care to underserved seniors in Collier County since 1985.

“I originally started by saying I will give this a try for a year or so, and it suddenly turned into 15 years,” says Banaszak, a pulmonary physician. “I’ve got a talent, knowledge, and ability to help people, and here are some people who really need help.”

Whether it was a homeless man suffering from severe dental problems, or a fisherman in Chokoloskee who had nowhere to turn for help with back problems, Banaszak embraced the chance to serve seniors who had fallen through the cracks when it came to medical care.

“There is a gap from when you turn 50 to when you turn 65 when you’re eligible for Medicare,” he says. “We take care of those people. They pay on a sliding scale. For me, a handshake, a smile, or a hug is really good compensation.”

Within a year of his involvement, the center’s medical director passed away, and Banaszak stepped into that role. He embraced it, forming a board of directors and later initiating the use of electronic medical records.

“Quality of care is difficult to measure sometimes,” he says.

“With electronic medical records, it becomes a lot easier and very objective rather than subjective. It was difficult [to implement] because it’s expensive, but we got a grant that helped with the initial approach. I really enjoyed seeing that change because it has allowed us to have the quality of care that is equal to, or better than, some of the private systems.”

Banaszak will turn 83 in May, and while he stepped down as the organization’s medical director a few years ago, he still sees patients at the center between four to six hours every week. At the Friends for Friendship fundraising event earlier this year, he received the Wayne Mullican Award in recognition of his volunteer work and dedication to seniors in need.

“Sitting around doing nothing is not that much fun,” he says.

“I feel good when I come in here and see people. It gives me a sense of purpose and a good feeling. You’d be amazed how satisfying it is to have somebody come up to you and say, ‘Thanks doc, let me give you a hug.’ Now that’s gratifying.” —Teri Evans

HOMEWARD BOUND

Dr. Paul Jones channels his charitable efforts to bettering both Naples and his native land Naples physician Paul Jones has always kept a close connection to his roots in Kingston, Jamaica. He left the island as a teenager and attended Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He then moved on to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine before relocating to Florida to complete his family medicine residency at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg.

His mother, a retired family physician, piqued his interest in medicine at an early age. Five years after opening his practice in Naples, he jumped at the opportunity to help her with a very important project: constructing an asthma clinic at the Bustamante Hospital for Children in Kingston. A devout Rotarian, Jones raised funds through the Naples Sunset Rotary Club.

“When I was younger, people helped me and I’ll probably never know them,” says Jones. “I think if we all pitched in, it would make the world a better place.”

The asthma clinic improved the lives of children and also inspired Jones to continue his philanthropic mission. Partnering with the Rotary Club of Kingston, Jones built a new school and fenced a playing field for the schoolchildren and the surrounding community. Working alongside the Rotary Club of Port Antonio, Jones helped to bring clean running water to a mountain village, reroofed homes and churches following damage from Hurricane Ivan, constructed a playground at the Port Antonio primary school, and placed science labs in two high schools.

Locally, Jones supports the Rotary Club of North Naples’ efforts to donate a dictionary to every fourth grader in Collier County and give more than $40,000 in college scholarships each year. A board member of the Neighborhood Health Clinic, he has contributed to the health of those less fortunate by providing them with care and the ability to be seen by volunteer doctors and nurses without insurance.

“The clinic helps to keep the working poor healthy,” says Jones. “They pay about $20 and for that, they see a doctor [and] have access to prescriptions, labs, and X-rays. Many of them come in and volunteer, which is really nice. It’s an incredible place to work.”

Next up for the community-supported clinic, Jones is paving the way for an expansion to include dental care and increased radiology. This year, he’ll also return to Jamaica on a mission to finish an agricultural-processing project as well as a program to bring running water to another big community.

“I couldn’t do it without my (Rotary) Club,” he says. “My contacts allow me to do this. I would like to continue to try and improve things in Jamaica as best I can. A little effort goes a long way.” —Andrea Bosco Stehle

HELPING HAND

A local orthopedic surgeon uses his skills and expertise to improve medical care in Haiti Following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Naples orthopedic surgeon Philip Regala felt called to bring aid to the victims.

He traveled to the devastated country with the Rotary Club of Naples, embarking on a life-altering experience that shed light on Haiti’s extreme lack of medical infrastructure and supplies.

On his first trip, Regala conducted eight operations alongside his wife, Sue, a nurse, in a 12-bed hospital that ran on a generator with no power at night. “It was a ‘wow’ moment for me and it’s why I’m in the world of medicine—to help people,” Regala says.

Since 2010, Regala has rounded up teams of volunteers, including his children, to return to Haiti nearly every year. In 2012, his son, Peter, joined him. “He saw the worst,” says Regala. “He helped carry dead bodies. He watched me and a few Haitian resident doctors doing our best to save many people.” Inspired by this work, Peter is now in medical school.

While in Haiti, Regala sees patients, does 10 to 18 surgeries, delivers medical supplies and technologies, and educates local physicians. He assists with procedures for patients who’ve succumbed to accidents due to terrible road conditions and cannot afford the surgical fees. Without his aid, they would lie in bed for about eight weeks healing crooked and without any access to pain medicine.

“They won’t complain, however,” says Regala. “You can tell they’re in pain, but they’re stoic. They’re so happy that somebody showed up and is there to help with post-op care.”

One of the many striking moments, Regala recalls, was when he treated a beautiful 15-year-old girl who suffered severe injuries following the earthquake and was left with an open fracture. “I spoke with her about why we needed to amputate her leg,” he says. “She didn’t cry. She was rather accepting and knew what she had to do to be helped. She started giving me a thumbs-up. It was really cute. She had a big smile on her face.”

Regala continues his efforts to improve Haiti’s medical facilities and provide better care and access to equipment for all. In return, he’s witnessed the goodness of the Haitian people and felt their appreciation entirely.

“They trust me because they know God’s word; they say they’re praying for me,” he says. “They are really proud, and they want to help when they can and they want to learn.

They’re just happy when we can come and work with them, and work together.”

The feelings are mutual. He returned to Haiti in March with his wife and 15-year-old daughter, Kathryn, for his eighth trip—one sure to have enhanced the lives of everyone involved. —Andrea Bosco Stehle

WIND OF CHANGE

A Naples obstetrician helps trafficking victims find their wings During her residency as an obstetrician, Karysse Trandem felt a calling that went beyond her pull to the medical profession.

It happened when she learned about the horrors of human trafficking while at a medical conference.

“It cuts at the core of every human heart to hear this is going on,” she says. “I was shocked and immediately wanted to find a way to help these victims.”

Trandem was so moved that she, along with two other women physicians, embarked on a medical mission trip to the brothels in Managua, Nicaragua, where they did physical exams on 1,200 victims of trafficking.

“These women live in a one-room shack with a bed without blankets, just a thin mattress,” she says. “A lot of them had trauma to their neck or wrists because of being shackled. It’s horrific. It’s the same idea in America, and even Southwest Florida. It really made a lasting impact on my heart. I needed to be a part of the solution.”

She moved to Naples in late 2014 to practice obstetrics and gynecologic surgery, and now works at A Woman’s Place.

In mid-2015, she became the volunteer medical director at Wings of Shelter Int’l in Estero, a faith-based organization dedicated to the intervention and prevention of child sex trafficking locally and worldwide.

“I see girls who have been rescued and perform a physical and pelvic exam to make sure they don’t have infections or injuries I need to treat,” explains Trandem. “Then I talk to them about their bodies, how they should be treated, and how to keep their bodies safe.”

She continues to treat the girls throughout their junior and senior high school years as they continue with the program.

Last Christmas Eve, Trandem and the organization’s director of child services prepared a special dinner for them. They played games, opened gifts, and joined in prayer. Trandem also sang carols. Before she became a doctor, she was a professional singer in New York. She used her artistic passion to produce an album, from which she donates 10 percent of all proceeds to victims of trafficking.

“Every girl I see for the first time, I see death in their eyes; there’s no way to describe how empty and dark they feel and the place they’re coming from,” says Trandem, who also lectures medical professionals on how to recognize and help trafficking victims. “By the strength of God, I am able to see each of these victims and offer them hope for healing. I have seen miraculous turnarounds in all of these girls after spending years with this program. To see them transformed over the course of months and years is truly a miracle.” —Teri Evans

NCH PHYSICIAN GROUP Mazen Albeldawi M.D, is a board-certified gastroenterologist and hepatologist who has been in practice for seven years.

He is rated the number one gastroenterologist in Naples on all three health scoring websites.

Dr. Albeldawi specializes in several procedures including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy and endoscopic bariatric therapies. He treats various disorders ranging from acid reflux to hemorrhoids and focuses on colon cancer prevention.

“I love the variety in my work, the interaction with patients, and the procedural aspect,” he says.

His practice has been designated as the Premier Practice in Southwest Florida to offer the Orbera weight loss balloon.

The program begins with the insertion of the Orbera balloon, a non-surgical, incision-free procedure which allows for substantial weight loss. “It is a great alternative for those patients who have not succeeded with diet and exercise alone or who may be unwilling, or not ready, to have a surgically invasive procedure.

We’ve had tremendous success and patients have been extremely pleased,” Dr. Albeldawi says.

He is deeply appreciative of all of his staff and says they are phenomenal. “A big part of our success is our team approach. They take pride in their jobs, thereby delivering a high-quality patient experience,” Dr. Albeldawi says.

NCH PHYSICIAN GROUP

Rasai L. Ernst, M.D., is board-certified in family medicine and aesthetic medicine. She has been practicing medicine for the past seven years and treats patients across the spectrum -- from newborns to geriatrics.

Although she treats many conditions ranging from high blood pressure to weight loss, the cornerstone of her practice is preventative medicine. Dr. Ernst takes the time to explain to her patients how important it is to follow a healthy lifestyle such as staying current on immunizations, skin cancer prevention, and personalized medicine.

“I am approachable and connect with patients in a way they may not have experienced before. I think this is comforting to patients,” Dr. Ernst says.

Dr. Ernst also serves as director of the NCH Medical Spa, which provides cosmetic and skin care services. “I went into aesthetic

medicine because I’m so interested in preventative care. People want to look as good as they feel, so it was a natural pairing with my practice,” she says.

The Spa offers facial and body treatments, wrinkle relaxing injections, dermaplaning, wrinkle filler injections, microneedling, medical facial peels, and make-up application.

All new patients at the Spa attend an initial consultation where they undergo a Visia© Skin Analysis, an advanced imaging system that shows what elements of skin care will best benefit each patient.

Afterwards, patients meet with Dr. Ernst to discuss a customized skin care plan. “It is very satisfying to help advance their health and appearance. Aesthetic medicine is kind of a cherry on the top.

I’m so proud that we are able to provide a comprehensive wellness approach,” she says.

FERNANDEZ UPPER EXTREMITY INSTITUTE Dr. Carmella Fernandez is an orthopedic and plastic surgery trained upper extremity surgeon, specializing in both non-operative and operative treatments for the hand, wrist, and elbow. Following her fellowships at Yale and the University of Pittsburgh, she moved to Naples to begin a private practice career. Today, she represents the less than 5% of practicing female orthopedic surgeons in the United States. Her extensive training in conjunction with her experience as a collegiate gymnast, allows her to relate to patients on both a personal and professional level.

Her extensive surgical répertoire includes, but is not limited to, fracture repair, small joint replacement, and endoscopic carpal tunnel release.

“I feel very lucky and honored to have an opportunity to positively impact someone’s life as a surgeon. There is nothing more gratifying than helping someone regain the ability to eat, brush their teeth, and return to work and hobbies that mean so much to them,” says Dr. Fernandez.

Osteoporosis and bone health are of paramount importance in Dr. Fernandez’s clinic. “Many of my patients don’t realize they have poor bone quality, especially women whose bone density decreases dramatically after menopause,” she says. She recommends taking calcium and Vitamin D supplements daily, and DEXA scans to monitor bone health.

An outspoken wellness advocate, she wants to see more impactful healthcare reform and a return to the traditional doctor-patient relationships. When she’s not working, she enjoys going to the gym with her husband, and spending time with their 12-year-old Chihuahua, Alex.

GULFSHORE UROLOGY Jonathan K. Jay, M.D., is board-certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery and urology. He has been practicing medicine for 23 years and for the past 18 years he has been selected as a top doctor in Naples.

Dr. Jay completed his fellowship training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Throughout his training, he received numerous honors and awards including Outstanding Resident Training Award and Lansing School District Distinguished Alumni Award.

His areas of interest include urodynamics and bladder dysfuntion as well as urogynecology. He is involved in clinical research, including clinical trials for the minimally invasive correction of bladder control problems. Dr. Jay has significant experience in laparoscopic surgery and in robotic surgery using the da Vinci© surgical system. “The advantage with robotic surgery is it can get into tiny spaces where you can’t get your hand. It is minimally invasive surgery, and the surgical field is magnified,” he says.

Helping people is his favorite part of his job.

He wants his patients, both men and women, to understand their diagnosis, its genesis and their options for treatment. “Sometimes I’ll get patients with the same problems who want two different outcomes. I define the treatments positives and negatives. If it’s not life threatening, some choose to do nothing−and that’s not a bad thing. It’s about quality of life. That’s why I’m different from other doctors,” he says.

Dr. Jay likens his discussions with patients to Paul Harvey’s famous tag line, “That’s the rest of the story.” “I get so much wisdom from my patients that they change my life. They make my tomorrows so much better,” he says.

GULFSHORE UROLOGY Rolando Rivera, M.D., a board-certified urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery was among the first surgeons in Southwest Florida to use the da Vinci® surgery robotic surgical system to repair vaginal prolapse. He also offers men and women suffering from overactive bladder and urinary incontinence InterStim® neuromodulatoin therapy and Botox® injections in the bladder. “We pride ourselves in being state-of-the art, and it is a very broad field. I do enjoy that,” he says.

With expertise in all urological diseases and erectile dysfunction, Dr. Rivera also offers endoscopic procedures, laser procedures, and laparoscopic surgery. Throughout his career, he has written multiple abstracts on a variety of topics for urological meetings and preceptors for students.

Dr. Rivera started his medical career as a general medical doctor in the U.S. Army.

Surgical issues are what first attracted him to medicine, but once in practice, he realized his patients were what he truly enjoyed.

“I’ve had longstanding relationships with patients for years since I started practicing in 2006 and in some specialties you don’t have that,” Dr. Rivera says.

Being involved with the community is also important to Dr. Rivera. He is the immediate past president of the Florida Urological Society and is an active member in the Physician Led Access Network (the PLAN) a nonprofit network of health professionals who helps provide access to quality healthcare for lowincome and uninsured adult residents in Collier County.

“I’m just a regular guy trying to do what I can for my family, my patients and my community,” he says.

GULFSHORE UROLOGY For the past 11 years, David R. Wilkinson, M.D., a board-certified urologist, has practiced in the Naples area. His specialties are laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery and minimally invasive treatment of prostatic diseases. Additionally, he has in-depth training and experience in da Vinci© robotic prostatectomy and other da Vinci© robotic system applications.

Dr. Wilkinson started his medical career as a respiratory therapist until his especially caring attitude toward patients led a colleague to suggest that he attend medical school. Later, Dr. Wilkinson planned to be an emergency room physician until he realized once patients left, he never knew their outcomes. He wanted a medical career where he had long term relationships with his patients. That coupled with his love of surgery, led him to urology.

Dr. Wilkinson places supreme importance on explaining his diagnosis as precisely as he can, while educating his patients with options to make appropriate treatment decisions. “My job is to give patients all of the information,” he explains.

Dr. Wilkinson’s warm, friendly, lecture-free office makes his patients feel welcome. “I feel very fortunate to have such an experienced staff who really cares about our patients,” he says.

“I believe the biggest mistake in medicine is not communicating with your patients. My partners feel the same way. If you leave here not understanding about your diagnosis, I’ve failed at my job,” Dr. Wilkinson says.

MELANIE BACAL KORN, M.D. Dr. Melanie Bacal Korn, M.D. board-certified in psychiatry and neurology has been in practice for over 40 years. Recently Dr. Korn was selected as one of the top psychiatrists in America by the independent Washington, D.C. based Consumer’s Research Council of America. Inspired by a love of science and research, she was in medical school when she realized her true passion was helping patients lead happier and healthier lives. “I love people,” she says.

Dr. Korn trained at New York University Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital and received her M.D. degree from New York University School of Medicine. She specializes in brief interventional therapies.

Patients come to the empathetic and understanding doctor for different reasons; medical issues, drug interactions, improperly prescribed medications, drug-free therapy, behavior modification, troubles with a spouse, children, or jobs and a multitude of other issues. As a master psychopharmacologist, she is also recognized for her skill to optimally balance interactions between diverse drugs. “My goal is to eradicate suffering as quickly as possible and install changes that will last and not have symptoms return months or years later,” she says.

Dr. Korn’s confidential sessions are held in her private, warm, and relaxed office. One skill her patients particularly appreciate is her ability to listen. Her proficiency and kindness are other attributes her patients frequently mention.

Over the years she has seen a lot of changes in psychiatry and is pleased that there is less social stigma associated with emotional and mental illness than there once was. “There is increasing acceptance and understanding, and people are more willing to improve their lives by seeking treatment,” Dr. Korn says.

Arturo Balandra, M.D., a board-certified urologist, has practiced medicine since 2006. He particularly enjoys the field because minimally invasive procedures in urology often dramatically improve his patient’s lives. “As a young boy, I knew I wanted a career that would involve helping people. I love science, so medicine was a natural,” he says.

His Ivy League education includes undergraduate work at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and an M.D. degree from the Pereleman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (consistently one of the top medical schools in the country). During Dr. Balandra’s academic career, he was on a full meritbased scholarship and graduated with high honors.

In his practice, he diagnoses and treats erectile dysfunction, incontinence, and voiding dysfunction including penile implants, artificial urinary sphincters, male and female sling placements, sacral neurostimulation, and laser treatments for prostatic enlargement,

among others. Because he is on the forefront of technology and has use of state-of-the-art technology, many of his procedures are minimally invasive .

While much of his emphasis is on men’s health, he also treats women. He has an interest in both male and female pelvic health and completed several specialized training programs in this field. Dr. Balandra believes in partnering with his patients to come up with solutions and treatment for their medical issues. “What I do is for a better quality of life. You don’t have to live with problems,” he explains.

When a patient comes to see Dr Balandra for the first time, he takes time to talk to them so they become comfortable enough to discuss their problems. This is only one of the reasons he is rated so highly by his patients.

“If you can’t enjoy things and are hindered by urination problems, I don’t want you to think that you are going to have to do some huge invasive procedure to make them go away,” he says.

On the cosmetic side, Dr. Howard offers facial sculpting, laser services, aesthetic services and skin care products.

Medical services include a full range of dermatology including skin cancer care provided in her pristine dermatology center where she is supported by a warm and professional staff.

Most patients come to her practice through glowing referrals. “When I consult with you, I listen very carefully to what you want and tailor your treatment plan accordingly.

Then I engage my artistic eye to create the outcome you desire. My staff and I love what we do, and I think that shows,” she says.

CRISTINA SCIAVOLINO-DAY, M.D.

At a time when doctors feel pressured by insurance companies to increase their daily patient visits and follow strict documentation guidelines (which leaves less time to see and diagnose patients), many are leaving their posts at traditional medical institutions to pursue concierge medicine. By taking insurance companies out of the equation, practitioners like Dr. Cristina Sciavolino-Day are able to provide more personalized care.

At her concierge office, patients pay an annual, one-time fee that covers unlimited doctor’s appointments and services (contact the office for a complete list), lab work and mammograms are sent to preferred sites and covered by health insurance).

She also provides video consultations with seasonal and out-oftown patients. As an internist, Dr. Sciavolino-Day offers primary care and treats myriad conditions like diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, and more. It’s only when patients require more specialized care or treatments that they’re sent to a hospital or specialist.

“I’ve been in this town for over 20 years, so I’ve gotten to know most of the specialists,” she says. “It really helps to facilitate getting

any type of consult done and by sharing patients, we can discuss how they’re doing.”

Additional benefits include longer appointments while patients are encouraged to call her anytime. “I’m practicing the way I would want to have things done if I were a patient,” she says.

After she completed her medical residency at Staten Island University Hospital, the board-certified physician moved to Naples and worked for various medical groups and urgent care facilities before she opened her eponymous practice in January 2017. While her patients are either healthy or have pre-existing conditions, Dr. Sciavolino-Day takes a proactive approach in order to diagnose disease early on.

She recommends patients get a heart score, a simple test that predicts the risk of a heart attack. But time is the greatest service she gives. She remembers a recent interview with a new patient who said, “I feel like people my age don’t matter. They [doctors] only spend a few minutes with you these days.” I explained to her that it wasn’t her, it’s the way that medicine is now,” says Dr. Sciavolino-Day. “I’m so happy she signed on because I want to change her mind.

COLLINS VISION

COLLINS VISION

Dr. Michael Collins believes everyone deserves to see more clearly. “The gratitude for helping someone see better never grows old,” says the award-winning ophthalmologist who feels a rush whenever patients ask him for ocular advice.

Dr. Collins began his ophthalmology career as a fellow at Durrie Vision in Kansas City. In September 2014, he opened Collins Vision and has watched his Naples practice grow exponentially every year. An expert in refractive and cornea surgery, he employs state-of-the-art equipment like the Victus Femtosecond Laser, a multi-mode platform to perform ophthalmic procedures like corneal incisions and LASIK flaps. Considering cataract surgery? Dr. Collins says picking the right doctor is important, especially one with refractive experience. “You should leave your consultation feeling confident about your upcoming surgery,” he says, and, more importantly, “your new vision.”

Dr. Stephen Jones became a plastic surgeon for altruistic reasons. “It might sound cliché,” he says, “but I wanted a career that would allow me to help people.” After he finished his residency at Michigan State University/Oakwood Hospital and his oculoplastic surgery fellowship at Ohio’s Novus Clinic, he joined Collins Vision in January 2017.

Combining his experience in ophthalmology and oculofacial plastics, Dr. Jones performs upper and lower lid blepharoplasty’s, brow lifts, eyelid malposition procedures, as well as cosmetic facial treatments like Botox. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide and can be cured with a 15-minute surgery which is why he takes missionary trips to Mexico every fall. Here, he conducts free cataract surgeries for anyone lacking the funds or transportation to see an ophthalmologist. “My greatest achievement is sharing my skills with people who desperately need them,” he says.

David Ornstein M.D., is a board-certified urologist who specializes in all areas of urologic cancer with particular expertise in robotic surgery. Dr. Ornstein completed his medical training at Washington University in St. Louis and completed a fellowship in urologic oncology at the National Cancer Institute.

Dr. Ornstein was part of the team at the University of California Irvine who helped develop techniques for robotic surgery on prostate, kidney, and bladder cancers.

Since 2003 he has performed over 1,760 robotic surgeries that have included robotic prostatectomy, robotic partial nephrectomy, and robotic cystectomy with urinary diversion, among others. Robotic surgery is usually preferable to standard open or laparoscopic surgery because of its precision which reduces the risk for complications and allows surgery to be performed with less blood loss and fewer side effects. “Robotic surgical techniques have been developing rapidly and I am fortunate to have access to the da Vinci Xi surgical system, which is the most advanced technology available today for clinical use,� he adds.

Dr. Ornstein has been practicing in Naples since 2008.

RIVERCHASE DERMATOLOGY AND COSMETIC SURGERY

Robert E. Eilers Jr., M.D., FAAD, is a Board-Certified Dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic and reconstructive surgeon practicing in Naples and Marco Island. Dr. Eilers graduated from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, pursued a dermatology residency at the University of Michigan, and went on to complete a cutaneous surgery and dermatologic oncology fellowship at the University of California, San Diego.

The majority of Dr. Eilers’ practice focuses on the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers with Mohs surgery.

When used in the appropriate clinical scenario, Mohs surgery affords optimal treatment outcomes and superior cosmetic results. It is of the utmost importance to Dr. Eilers that the appropriate skin cancer treatment be selected for each individual patient. “With Mohs surgery, we remove a conservative margin of healthy tissue around the skin cancer and analyze it. The procedure affords us the highest cure rate of any skin cancer treatment and leaves the smallest scar possible following tumor removal.” Dr. Eilers aims to treat every patient as if they were a family member.

Heather Pontasch, M.D., FAAD, is a Board-Certified Dermatologist specializing in medical, surgical and pediatric dermatology in Naples and Marco Island. Dr. Pontasch received her medical degree from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine followed by a Dermatology Residency at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Dr. Pontasch’s ability to quickly solve complex problems drew her to the field of dermatology. “I enjoy the challenge of diagnosing a simple or complex skin condition and then discussing the best treatment options with my patients.”

A keen sense for quick and accurate diagnosis coupled with exceptional care for her patients allows Dr. Pontasch to excel in her field. One of the most rewarding aspects of her career as a physician is helping her patients look and feel better. “I really get to know my patients and their families. I find building personal relationships with my patients not only important, but extremely gratifying.” Riverchase Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery prides itself on treating every patient like family and Dr. Pontasch truly lives that value every day.

Janet Polito, DO, is board-certified in family medicine and specializes in palliative and end-of-lifer care for patients 18 and older.

“At VITAS we can provide IVs, antibiotics, blood transfusions and paracentesis (a procedure that drains fluid for comfort). Everything we do is for comfort, whether it’s to ease breathing, eliminate pain, or address spiritual, emotional, and financial issues that arise near the end of life,” she says.

VITAS patients are cared for by an interdisciplinary team consisting of a hospice physician, nurse case manager, social worker, chaplain, hospice aide, volunteer, and other specialists as needed. Because most seriously ill people prefer to be home with assistance rather than in a hospital, VITAS brings services to the home.

“We facilitate a peaceful death for the patient and family by encouraging communication and by educating them about what they can expect as the illness takes its course, Dr. Polito says. “I am comfortable with death and dying, and I try to impart that assurance to patients and families.”

For over 25 years, Joseph Kandel, M.D. a board-certified neurologist has been treating patients for migraines, headaches, back and neck pain and all neurological problems. He provides Botox injections for migraines, stroke symptoms, and muscle spasms.

Self-described as old-school, Dr. Kandel returned to a solo practice. His altruistic attitude is evident in his involvement with his patients and especially with the community’s additional needs children. But don’t expect to see him retiring soon, “I just enjoy it too much,” he says.

SKY’S THE LIMIT

Paella combines the brine of shellfish with the earthiness of saffron and sausage, and few local versions are as elaborate as the one found at Fish Restaurant (fishrestaurantnaples.com). The dish features shrimp, clams, mussels, squid, grouper, and chorizo, served in a casserole with Spanish Bomba rice. It’s available for solo diners at lunchtime but is served for two in the evening, when customers may opt to add king crab or a whole lobster.

As an accompaniment, manager Salvatore Sinzieri recommends a crisp, mineral-infused Italian white wine, such as Vermentino or Gavi.

SHARON MAMMANO

confidential CHEF STEFANO LJIKOVIC

Burrata; Fusilli con salsiccia (right)

Born in Montenegro, in the former Yugoslavia, Stefano Ljikovic came to the United States at age 19. A self-taught chef who acquired all his experience at the stove, Ljikovic initially worked in his uncle’s restaurant in New Jersey. “My mother was a chef, so I grew up with professional cooking at home,” says Ljikovic, who moved to Naples in 1993 and four years later opened Amore Ristorante with his wife, Suzana. More than two decades later, the Italian restaurant is still going strong.

SHARON MAMMANO

Papardelle Aragosta

Northern vs. Southern Italian cuisine: Most of our cooking is from the North, where they tend to use butter and cream rather than tomatoes, but we also blend in elements from the rest of the country. Our dishes are classic and traditional, so it’s hard to reinvent them.

On settling in Naples: I’m originally from a town in Montenegro, which is right on the water, with some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Naples seemed very familiar to me. I came here on vacation and never went back to the New York area.

Defining Italian: Italian food should be very simple—no more than three or four ingredients—and the freshest and best you can find. In Italy, they use the vegetables and produce of the moment, whereas many customers here expect the same menu year-round.

Lessons learned: When you first open a restaurant, you want everything to be perfect.

Ten or 20 years later, you have to do every dish the same way, which is difficult. It takes a lot of attention to detail to make things right. My wife, Suzana, works in the dining room, and much of our success is due to her.

On working as a couple: I’m pretty calm, but my wife is calmer than I am. If we have a crisis, I’ll defer to her.

If he wasn’t a chef: I probably would have been involved in the wine business. We have a wine cellar with 250 selections and more than 2,000 bottles. Wine is fascinating to me, so I would have come back to the restaurant one way or another.

(App for thAT!) When you’re stumped about what to fix for dinner, or simply trying to step up your culinary skills, the Innit app (innit.com) can be your cheat sheet in the kitchen. Consider it a culinary GPS when you plan, shop, prep, and cook meals. Once you input your dietary preferences and food allergies, it personalizes recipes for the week, from start to finish. When you’re ready to begin cooking, the app displays videos illustrating each step. Innit also syncs with apps you would already use with smart appliances, like those from Bosch or GE, to control the cooking from your smart phone, send instructions to your appliance, and receive an alert when the meal is ready. As of yet, your phone can’t do the slicing and dicing for you, but that’s probably on the horizon.

Sweet Spot

Craving a seamless combination of wine and dessert in a decadent atmosphere? Head to Dolce Mare (dolcemaresweets.com), the Marco Island “wine and dessert cantina” owned by husband-and-wife team Gabriella Gaggiano and Steven Tabeek. The concept was born during the couple’s travels.

“We saw a lot of concepts in Europe that tied the idea of wine and chocolate together,” says Gabriella. “The decor for the cantina was inspired by the Ladurée locations in New York, where the retail section is separate from the intimate seating area. We were fortunate to find a space that accommodated both.”

At Dolce Mare, customers may order one of the 20 varieties of gelato or enjoy a combination of Italian desserts with wine or Cham-

pagne. The cantina is open daily until midnight, and until 1 a.m. on weekends. Some of Gaggiano’s favorite pairings include: ● Eroica Riesling from Washington State & imported Italian profiteroles ● Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon & imported Italian tiramisu ● Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé Champagne & handcrafted Dolce Mare Luxury Collection Truffle Assortment

Taste FOOD TRUCK FINDS In the past few years, the gourmet food truck scene has blossomed in the Naples area. Veterans such as Organically Twisted (organicallytwisted.com) paved the way. Chef John Hart’s healthy creations became so popular he opened a brick-and-mortar location on Livingston Road. Another groundbreaker was The Nosh Truck (239-248-0715), which still delights Bonita residents with treats as varied as pad Thai burgers and vegetable banh mi sandwiches.

In the aftermath of these pioneers, food trucks can now be found in many neighborhoods where restaurant options are limited. Here are a few that run the gamut: If you’re in the mood for Southern cooking, try Smokin R’s BBQ (smokinrs.com) food truck in Bonita Springs. Owner Elton Myzaqari puts his own twist on chicken, brisket, and ribs. “You could call our barbecue Texas-style, but we make our own rubs and sauce from scratch,” he says. Myzaqari’s goal is to augment his truck with a brick-and-mortar restaurant sometime this year.

Craving “a little bite of Brooklyn” on the go? Seek out Little Pete’s Food Truck (littlepetesfoodtruck.com) and sink your teeth into classics such as sausage and peppers, flatbread pizza, or chicken, meatball, and eggplant parmesan.

When a Cuban man and a Jewish woman fall in love, the result is Jewban’s Deli Dale food truck (jewbansdelidale. com), which serves up everything from ropa vieja and classic Cuban sandwiches to matzo ball soup, whitefish salad, and hot pastrami. “All our dishes are family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation,” says Julie Dana, who is married to business partner Ray Garcia. Their truck is most frequently found at local breweries like Riptide Brewing Company in Naples, Oil Well Craft Beer in Ave Maria, and Momentum Brewhouse in Bonita Springs.

As with all food trucks, you can track their location on Facebook or Twitter.

THREE CHOICES...

ONE LOCATION FUJIYAMA OF JAPAN – STEAKHOUSE & SEAFOOD Our Hibachi-style cooking has become a favorite in Naples for many years. Specializing in the finest cuts of beef and the best seafood we can find right here on the Gulf, you will quickly be mesmerized by this great and entertaining style of cooking. Everyone gathers around the Hibachi Grill and the show begins (The lighting of the Volcano is a site to see). It begins with our homemade oriental broth, salad using an oriental-based mayo, and everyone gets a grilled shrimp appetizer with 2 dipping sauces.

There is white rice, fried rice, and almost any special request you might have is welcome. When well-marbled meat, fresh seafood, and vegetables that come to us from the farm are combined with this demonstration style of showmanship cooking, it is a combination that can’t be beat.

Reservations on weekends are “highly” suggested … but we can almost always squeeze in a twosome.

CLUB SUSHI

239.261.4332

naplesclubsushi.com

“People say that Sushi is not for everyone, and as an owner I used to believe that,” says Joe Dinunzio. If you are a seafood lover, no matter the type, you’ll find the freshest examples of it here. Our Chef team hails from Tokyo, so we started with the best thinkers. Then we went to the very best seafood suppliers for our made-from-scratch crab cake, king crab leg, and dumplings, also known as pot stickers. And for the fanatics who crave fresh sea urchins ... we have them. All our Sushi rolls are prepared, sliced, and rolled right before your eyes. The display case is indicative of … FRESH & THE BEST. Come join us, if you like seafood, especially spicy calamari. We prepare only the best for you. If you LOVE SUSHI, then you’ve found a new friend and a new home.

HAROLD’S PLACE

239.263.7254

naplesharoldsplace.com

We are a long-standing Naples tradition! Opening as a simple little beer joint with 5 items on the menu in 1982, Harold’s Place has blossomed into a popular eatery for locals and visitors alike. Known for its burgers, and winning that Best Burger Award going back to the early 1990s, the menu and the location grew. While still specializing in great burgers, we’ve added a Grouper Sandwich amongst an array of specialties on the menu that folks in Columbus still come here just for that, or so we’d like to think. Home to the Ohio State Alumni outings during football season, we also host Karaoke on Sundays, plus 6 or more festivals annually. We raise money for Charity, as Harold’s gives back its very best to its fans, customers & the community. One visit and you’ll understand our motto: “Dedicated to the Sheer Joy of Eating & Drinking.” One visit and you’ll become not only a fan, but a new friend as well.

COCKTAIL CORNER Pimm’s Cocktail

The premixed cocktail was popular long before it became a mass-market phenomenon. Back in 1823, James Pimm began serving a concoction of gin, quinine, and herbs at his central London oyster bar. The drink eventually went into commercial production and spawned a series of variations: in addition to the original (known as Pimm’s No. 1 Cup), there was No. 2 (Scotch), No. 3 (brandy), No. 4 (rum), No. 5 (rye), and No. 6 (vodka).

Only Pimm’s No. 1 survives today, as a ginspiked liqueur with 25 percent alcohol. A quintessential symbol of English culture, it is de rigueur at events such as Wimbledon and the Henley Royal Regatta. Mixed with lemonade or ginger ale and garnished with chopped fruit and vegetables, the drink is also a harbinger of spring.

“We wanted customers to experience a revamped classic with an interesting twist,” says bar manager Ricky Jackson, “so we added elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, bitters and soda. It appeals to our well-traveled clientele with their sense of history.”

To make The Bevy’s version of Pimm’s Cocktail, start with two ounces of Pimm’s No. 1, one ounce of St.-Germain, several dashes of bitters, and a half-ounce each of simple syrup and lemon juice.

Shake the mixture in a cocktail tin with ice, strain over fresh ice into a highball glass, and garnish with a lemon peel.

Taste IN THE WINE CELLAR

Caffè Milano’s SIPS OF ITALY MICHAEL CARONCHI

Originally from a small town near Bolgheri in Tuscany, Massimiliano Tonni studied wine in Italy, spent a dozen years working in restaurants, and came to the United States several years ago. Along with owner Luca Di Falco, he helped open Caffè Milano (caffemilanonaples.com) in Naples—and developed the wine list and bar program. As floor manager, he works closely with customers to find the best choice from the 80-selection list he compiled.

“We try to introduce Italian wine to our customers, not just the famous Super Tuscans, but also the more unknown regional varieties,” Tonni says. “We carry some very good wines from California, but most of our list is geared toward someone willing to be a little more adventurous. My goal is to suggest a wine that will be the perfect match with what a guest is eating.”

A good example of a wine that might be unfamiliar to Americans is Cannonau from the island of Sardinia. “The wine is 60-percent Sangiovese, so the taste would be familiar to someone who drinks Chianti,” Tonni says. “The Sardinian climate is hot and dry, and the wine’s texture is light, crisp, and high in acidity. It’s perfect for white meats and poultry, but I would steer someone eating beef in another direction.”

That direction might lead to a Nero d’Avola from Sicily, a Piedmontese Barbera or Gattinara, or classic wines such as Amarone, Barolo, and Brunello di Montalcino. His go-to wine for the undecided? Il Bruciato from Antinori’s Guado al Tasso estate in Bolgheri, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. “Customers are reassured when I tell them it’s made by the producer of Tignanello, the famous Super Tuscan,” he says. “It comes from a town very close to where I grew up. The wine is refined in quality, delicious, and a great value.”

Available in two varieties, the nonalcoholic spirit Seedlip is taking the mocktail concept to new heights.

Mocktail Mania

The demand for creative nonalcoholic cocktails has risen in recent years, led by a popular new spirit for teetotalers

T

BY MARK SPIVAK

he nonalcoholic cocktail has come of age.

Mocktails, as they’re frequently called, have been with us forever in various forms. They may be as basic as a Shirley Temple or as familiar as a virgin strawberry daiquiri, but the absence of booze is the common denominator. For bartenders and servers, the mocktail is an upsell: Rather than a customer who spends $2 for a Coke, that same patron can indulge in a $5-$6 nonalcoholic cocktail and thus ease the financial pain teetotalers inflict on restaurants and bars. And, after the craft cocktail explosion of the 1990s emphasized connoisseurship over inebriation, mocktails became more sophisticated.

The world of nonalcoholic drinks recently catapulted into hyperspace with the invention of Seedlip. It started when Englishman Ben Branson

stumbled on a copy of The Art of Distillation, the 1651 classic by John French. To his surprise, many of the early distillates were alcohol-free concoctions made and consumed for their health benefits. Branson began experimenting, and eventually came up with the world’s first true nonalcoholic spirit (or, as they call it, “what to drink when you’re not drinking”).

There are two varieties of Seedlip, Spice 94 and Garden 108. The former is a blend of Jamaican all spice, cardamom, oak, lemon, grapefruit, and cascarilla; the latter combines peas, hay, spearmint, rosemary, and thyme. These elements are distilled separately in copper pot stills before blending, filtering, and dilution—virtually the identical process someone would follow to make any other white spirit.

Both are completely free of alcohol, sugar, and calories.

LAURE JOLIET

When it comes to artisan mocktails, the response has been dramatic. Upscale hotel bars, where customers spend freely on food and drink, are the epicenter of the high-end virgin cocktail movement. At London’s Dandelyan, named the World’s Best Cocktail Bar in the 2017 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, bartender Ryan Chetiyawardana is offering drinks such as the Million Dollar Smile (Seedlip Spice, roasted sweet potato, off-cut cordial, and grass) and Peach Cider (Seedlip Garden, peach reduction, and peanut oil). The American Bar at The Savoy Hotel serves five options including the Garden of England (Seedlip Spice, cranberry juice, lime juice, coffee tonic, and Potash Farm roasted hazelnut syrup).

The trend is catching on in America, too, at venues such as Redbird in Los Angeles and the legendary Bemelmans Bar at New York’s Carlyle Hotel. Other rarified destinations serving Seedlip include The French Laundry in Napa and Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, along with NoMad, The Dead Rabbit, and Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan.

The folks at Seedlip recommended trying their products in a highball with Indian tonic, so I complied. The Spice 94

has a deep, fragrant nose, and when combined in a cocktail the taste is herbal and refreshing, with a touch of mint on the finish. Garden 108 exudes aromas of freshly chopped salad. In a highball, the garden peas are the dominant flavor, along with herbal accents and delightful vegetable notes.

Many of the country’s hippest eateries, such as Seedlip ($40-$45 for a 700Redbird in L.A. (above), ml bottle) is currently stocked are incorporating Seedlip into their mocktails. at select locations of Dean & Deluca and Terrain, but is also available nationwide at food52.com and seedlip drinks-us.com. Distill Ventures, an entrepreneurial branch of the wine and spirits giant Diageo, made a minority investment in Seedlip in 2016. It marked the first time in Diageo’s 257-year history that the company got involved in a nonalcoholic product—further proof the world is changing. «

Balance {HIGH FLYING

Imagine feeling weightless and gliding up to 18 feet above Estero Bay, spinning like a top and doing backflips. No, this isn’t an out-of-body experience; this is flyboarding and it is outrageously fun. As with snowboarding or wakeboarding, the heels, toes, and hips are the mechanisms for movement. Jet skis provide the power via a pipe that distributes water flow from the impeller to the bottom of the board, allowing the water pressure to effortlessly lift the rider into the air. At FMB Flyboard and Watersports, flyboarders wear a helmet and life jacket as instructors control how high you fly. While this watersport may appear to defy the laws of gravity, it’s actually so easy that almost anyone ages 10 and older can pick it up quickly. “Within a minute or two, everyone is up flying,” says Rush Bragg, owner and instructor at FMB Flyboard. “A lot of times they see dolphins, too, which is really fun.” (239-898-4063, fmbflyboard.com)

Balance FIGHTING CHANCE

For the nearly one million people living

with Parkinson’s disease, there is a constant search for ways to alleviate symptoms ranging from tremors to trouble moving and speaking. There are local offerings in Southwest Florida that can help. For example, exercise plays an important role. Those with Parkinson’s have seen their symptoms lessen when engaging in exercise like noncontact boxing, which helps improve agility, footwork, endurance, and hand-eye coordination. In fact, in a 2013 study published in The Lancet Neurology journal, researchers found that activities such as dancing and noncontact boxing can produce a neuroprotective effect.

Title Boxing Club, Naples (titleboxingclub.com/

naples-fl), offers Rock Steady Parkinson’s noncontact boxing classes specifically tailored for those living with the disease. “Beyond all the studies of high-intensity exercising and boxing benefits for Parkinson’s, what I see when they leave class is their confidence, smile, and pride that they accomplished the class like the warriors they are,” says club owner Jennifer Johnson. “I see their spouse join them in class to support and encourage them, and for that one hour do something together they didn’t think they could do.”

Parkinson Association of Southwest Florida (pasfi.org) also offers singing and speech classes to help with other symptoms, such as difficulty speaking or swallowing. April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, so don’t miss the nonprofit’s annual Augusta on the Gulf golf tournament on April 27 at Vineyards Country Club in Naples. —Cheryl S. Grant

Feeding Your Feelings There will always be emotional curveballs that can take the zing out of your day.

Many people associate food with the feelings they experience while eating it.

If Friday night with pizza reminds you of being more carefree or social, you may crave it when you’re feeling down in order to recapture a happier time, says Tracy Brown, a Naples nutritionist and dietician. Here, tips to help navigate a buffet of emotional experiences and find your happy place. —C.S.G.

EXHAUSTION

The body craves: A double grande latte The body needs: Dehydration may be part of the reason you feel worn out. Indulging in a sugary coffee beverage will cause a rush for a quick fix, but then comes the crash and you’re suddenly exhausted again.

Happy place: Coconut water can be a great swap, since it contains hydrating electrolytes, potassium, and magnesium that can provide a sustaining energy boost. Don’t care for coconut water?

Drink a few glasses of cold water instead.

SADNESS

The body craves: Macaroni and cheese The body needs: Comfort foods can give a quick but temporary kick to our feel-good hormone serotonin. Instead of a short-term fix, try a natural booster like tryptophan.

Happy place: To help battle the blues add turkey breast and cheese to a toasted whole grain muffin or gluten-free seed crackers.

STRESS/ANXIETY

The body craves: French fries The body needs: Zinc and B vitamins, which can help calm your nerves.

Happy place: Zinc is found in meats (go for grass-fed beef), poultry, nuts, beans, and dairy products like yogurt and cheese. Try a salad of leafy greens and a baked potato (top it with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream) as a way to get those B vitamins.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME With careful consideration, gifting a property can ensure its perpetuity and make a big charitable impact

By Judy Martel

T

oward the end of her life, when cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post began to plot a legacy for the palatial, 1920s Palm Beach estate she built and named Mar-a-Lago, she probably never could have predicted the circuitous and complicated route it would take.

Initially, Post offered the home to the state of Florida, which refused it due to the high cost of annual maintenance. Undaunted, she convinced the federal government to accept it in 1972—a year before her death—and realize her vision of the mansion as a “winter White House.” But less than a decade later, the government returned the gift to her foundation, again blaming high operating costs. After languishing for a few more years, real estate mogul and eventual United States president Donald Trump snapped it up in 1985 for a fraction of its value. In a strange twist, the mansion has now become an unofficial winter White House—at least for the current president.

Forty years on, donating a home to charity is still not a smooth path. But for the wealthy, it can be a smart way to make a sizeable charitable impact without raiding cash or investment portfolios, while potentially reaping a slew of tax benefits at the same time. The key is to have the professionals in place who can navigate through the tax and legal strategies of the various donation methods.

Donors have a few options for making a charitable gift of their home: an outright donation during life; a gift of a remainder interest; an irrevocable trust that removes the home from their taxable estate; or through a will. The legal and tax implications will vary, depending on the choice, according to Grayson McCouch, professor of law at University of Florida.

To receive the maximum tax deduction, you’ll want to donate the home to an IRS-qualified charity. And the IRS will always require a professional home appraisal.

Mar-a-Lago, 2018

JERRY RABINOWITZ

DOS AND DON’TS OF DONATING There are tax advantages to donating a home to charity no matter how you choose to do it, but you’ll get more if you give during life rather than bequeathing at death, according to McCouch. “If you give during your life, you’ll get the income tax deduction,” he says.

Depending on the type of charity, a donation could mean an immediate deduction of the fair market value of the property, up to 20 or 30 percent of your adjusted gross income.

Beyond the income tax deduction, there are other tax benefits. If

164 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

164-WEALTH-0418.indd 164

2/23/18 12:47 PM

your estate exceeds the federal estate tax exemption ($5.49 million per person in 2017), a charitable donation will remove a major asset from your taxable estate, allowing you to avoid or minimize death taxes.

Owners of highly appreciated mansions can avoid the capital gains taxes that would be incurred on a sale, which could be a significant savings if gains exceed the current exclusion of $250,000 per person or $500,000 per couple on primary residences that meet the eligibility requirements.

But beware that if the home comes with a mortgage, “it could complicate things and the charity may not want to accept your gift,” says McCouch. “You might want to get rid of the mortgage before donating the property.”

IT’S COMPLICATED With sophisticated strategies, donors can make a future gift and retain the right to live in the home, though they’ll have a reduced upfront tax deduction and are still responsible for the home’s expenses.

Another more complex option is a charitable remainder trust: Because the trust is irrevocable, the assets placed in it are removed from

164-WEALTH-0418.indd 165

the taxable estate.

Finally, there is a specific and previously little-used type of charitable donation for real property—conservation and historic preservation easements—that has piqued the interest of the wealthy due to a number of fairly high-profile cases, says McCouch. This strategy helps owners preIf done wisely and with professional help, doserve the heritage of the property forever. nating a private property In fact, the strategy is one Donald Trump to charity can come with ample tax benefits. employed for Mar-a-Lago, after he turned the property into an exclusive country club. By placing conservation and historic preservation easements on it and then donating the easement to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, he gives up his right to ever develop the property for any other purpose. But these restrictions come with tax benefits that have become more generous over the past decade, McCouch says.

“Conservation and historic preservation easements are subject to different sets of restrictions,” says McCouch. “You need professional advice. But if you find a charity that will accept the home, it gives them the right to protect it in perpetuity.” «

MUM’S THE WORD MARCO HARTMANN

Telling a compelling tale without words is a creative challenge the Swiss theater troupe Mummenschanz excels in. Formed more than four decades ago by three experimental storytellers, the mime group is known for its signature acrobatic routines and nonverbal communication. Presented against a plain black backdrop, with no music, words, or background scenery, the performers must rely on their unique abilities to tell a story through the inventive use of light, shadow, and playful props. Mummenschanz will make its Naples debut on the stage of Artis–Naples’ Hayes Hall on April 22 with a single performance of its newest show, “You & Me,” at 7 p.m. (artisnaples.org)

Susan McCurry

HEATHER DONLAN

grew up in Iowa, though she has called Naples home for nearly two decades. As a philanthropist supporting many local charities, McCurry most recently co-chaired the 2018 Naples Winter Wine Festival, the main fundraising vehicle for the Naples Children and Education Foundation, which serves underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County. McCurry has long supported NCEF, first as a festival trustee, then as a grant committee member and chairwoman.

1. Bucket list topper: Exploring more of the world aboard The World, Residences at Sea. 2. Entertaining must-haves: Fresh flowers, including peonies, gardenias, and orchids.

3. Esteemed designer: Oscar de la Renta. I love the fabrics, the creative designs, and the fit is amazing.

4. Favorite musician: Elvis Presley in the 1970s. I saw him live onstage in Las Vegas and have seen many concerts since Best advice from dad: that still cannot top Elvis singing in his white jumpsuit. “Never be greedy.�

5. Go-to scent: Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf.

6.

Revered artists: Colleen Browning and Adolf Dehn.

8 7. Beloved travel destination: The Palace Gardens in Kyoto, Japan, in April, when the cherry blossoms are in full pink bloom.

8. Morning guilty pleasure: I love the Molokai Island Princess blend of coffee from Coffees of Hawaii. I order it in five-pound bags. It has a hint of vanilla that softens its bitterness.

Best place to watch the sunset: Gumbo Limbo at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples.
