Skin Health with
Plastic And Reconstructive Surgery Can Change Your Life Dr. Elizabeth Fox answers frequently asked questions. Plastic surgery is cutting-edge, exciting and life-altering. People are taking better care of their health and therefore living more productive, fulfilling and longer lives. This is why it is important that your outward appearance projects the vitality and youth that you feel on the inside. Join us on this rewarding journey and discover the difference plastic surgery will make in your life.
Q:
My husband keeps asking me if I am mad at him for something. I kept telling him no, but when I looked in the mirror yesterday, I noticed that my mouth is turning down as I get older. Worse yet, I have those smoker lines around my mouth and I never even smoked. What can I do to fix this?
A:
the surgeon using the machine that is the most important factor. Liposuction is not only about fat reduction, it is about contouring the body shape. For example, when I perform liposuction on an abdomen, I make sure the waist looks longer and leaner in addition to reducing the lower belly fat. Liposuction works very well for certain parts of the body such as the back folds, fullness around the bra line, love handles, and works well to reshape the buttocks. Once the body shape is changed, it will remain changed even with weight gain. You will never gain in the same proportion as you did before. It is surprisingly simple and easy post-operatively, you can return to normal activities in just a few days.
The first thing I would do is ask your husband if there is a reason you should me mad at him. After that, one of the most important things to do is prevent your expression from appearing angry or tired. As you may have noticed, if people perceive that you are angry, they will respond to you differently than if you are perceived as happy. The lines also may make you seem older than your actual age. In order to improve these, we can restore lip volume to help erase these lines around your mouth and fill in the corners of your mouth so you do not appear angry.
Q:
My wife has always wanted larger breasts, especially after having two kids. Now it is bathing suit season and she is constantly covering up because she feels she can not fill out a bathing suit. I think this would be a great present for her, but how do we decide what size she should be?
A:
Q: A:
During your consultation appointment, we will be able to determine what size of breasts she wants. Next we will discuss the shape of her breasts, specifically how she likes the upper part of her breasts, her cleavage and her lateral contour. Cleavage is so important to patients post-operatively. My patients not only appreciate the cleavage, but also the size they expect to be after the operation.
Q: A:
I would like to get some liposuction done but there are so many different types I have read about and I don’t know which one is best. What are your thoughts? It doesn’t matter if you use cool lipo, smart lipo, power assisted lipo or any other liposuction modality; It is
My family has a tendancy to get droopy upper eyelids and puffy lower eyelids. We all look tired. My sister had her eyes done by you, she looks amazing and can actually wear eye makeup now. I haven’t been able to for years. My main concern is that I do work, how long would I need to recover, and how much time will I need off work? First, the good news is that eyelid surgery has a very easy post-operative recovery with little discomfort. For beautiful results, the plastic surgeon needs to keep the eye shape the same (no distortion of shape like poor Kenny Rogers) and take the perfect amount of skin, not too much or too little. The lower eyelids should never have the old-fashioned incision or scar on the outside. A transconjunctival blepharoplasty which removes extra lower eyelid fat pads (puffiness) occurs just inside the lower lid thus avoiding external scars. A light laser healing within 5 days tightens the skin. So in answer to your question, 5 to 7 days is the healing time required.
I hope that I have answered all of your questions. Please direct any plastic surgery questions to: www.elizabethfoxmd.com or join us at our next seminar

A
n eagerly anticipated economic report, the annual Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study released a few weeks ago by research firm Bain & Co., expects spending on luxury items in the United States to grow by 8 percent this year. It attributes this good news to a growing desire among affluent consumers to open their wallets again after the last few guarded years. As one of the study’s authors puts it, “Luxury has made a brilliant return to the retail stage,” and businesses that serve wealthy audiences currently are gearing up production and advertising. Amid this rising interest, department stores and luxury retailers have placed “robust” orders for the fall/winter season while frequently restocking their inventories of accessories, leather goods and jewelry. Luxury car sales are running about 60 percent better than last year. And, not surprisingly, investors are putting more money into luxury stocks, according to the news service Reuters. For some perspective, the study expects luxury consumers will “keep coming into stores and continue making purchases with the same vigor” last seen around 2005. Most of us remember those as comfortable days, so a description like that seems to hold some promise. As consumers, I hope we will continue proving the forecast accurate— perhaps exceed it. We naturally accelerate our spending once we’re in the “season” frame of mind, but there’s nothing stopping us from acquiring the things we desire right now, especially as this new environment brings new commodities to market. While we all agree the era of conspicuous consumption thankfully is over, we also understand and appreciate that our personal circumstances make it possible for us to invest in products and experiences that express quality, rarity and personality. Let’s keep that mindset alive. More significantly, I hope we, as business owners, will ensure our optimism pays off by actively engaging these eager customers. The Bain study indicates the luxury industry is being transformed by more-demanding consumers, a generational shift in buying habits and interests, a redefined sense of loyalty, and other factors. Smart businesses will react to the changes, but the very best ones will distinguish themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace by constantly innovating—and making sure their clients, both potential and existing, know about it. This is the difference between surviving and thriving. There’s more to an economic rebound than just what we, as luxury consumers and business owners, can do, of course. But it seems clear the time is right for all of us to take a few bold steps forward.

From The Editor
Neighborhood Watch hen you ask about celebrities in Naples, a few names always rise to the top of the list, whether or not that celebrity is here—or even ever set foot in Naples. For years I’ve heard the names Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand and Bill Gates bandied about. Did you know Tom Cruise’s mother lives on Marco Island? Also, it’s said hundreds of the nation’s top CEOs have homes here. When it comes to actually finding these people for the purpose of a magazine article, it gets a little tricky. Unlike the famous faces who grace our sister publication in Palm Beach, celebrities in Naples often choose to be here for a reason—they want to keep a low profile. I understood that challenge when I set out to compile a list for this issue of 10 Neapolitans you need to know now, and I did get more than a few “no, thanks” (always very gracious) from the celebrities I contacted. Most surprising was the number of people who have been quietly enjoying their Naples getaway even as their careers skyrocket. It’s with great pleasure that we introduce some neighbors you may not know on page 52. The endeavor of putting this feature together leaves unshaken my belief that Naples is an amazing place full of surprising people—from the entrepreneurs who invented an essential gadget that has become part of daily life, to the skilled executives who steered existing corporations to the next level, to philanthropists who all have one thing in common—the discovery of the gem that is Naples. Throughout the year, our pages feature stories about the people who share this Neapolitan bond through their gatherings, homes and pursuits. We always strive to have peoplecentric content, recognizing that people bring this magical setting to life, and have done so since the community’s founding. Meet several interesting people who have shared a common address through the years on page 76. And read about some who share a similar passion for timepieces on page 64. Meet Neapolitan Bob Goldman, who brings musical celebrities together with charitable causes, on page 112. There are many Neapolitans you need to know, and with Naples Illustrated, each issue provides the opportunity to say, “Hello, neighbor.”

frown lines are just not me Dysport® is a prescription injection for temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.
Important Safety Information What is the most important information you should know about Dysport ? Spread of Toxin Effects: In some cases, the effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may affect areas of the body away from the injection site. These effects can cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. Symptoms of botulism can happen hours to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, or loss of bladder control. Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children and adults treated for muscle spasms, particularly in those patients who have underlying medical conditions that could make these symptoms more likely. The toxic effects have been reported at doses similar to those used to treat muscle spasms in the neck. Lower doses, in both approved and unapproved uses, have also caused toxic effects. This includes treatment of children and adults for muscle spasms. These effects could make it unsafe for you to drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Do not have Dysport treatment if you: are allergic to Dysport or any of its
ingredients (see the end of the Medication Guide for a list of ingredients), are allergic to cow’s milk protein, had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc® or Botox,® or have a skin infection at the planned injection site. The dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin product. The dose of Dysport cannot be compared to the dose of any other botulinum toxin product you may have used. Dysport may not be right for you if: you have surgical changes to your face, very weak muscles in the treatment area, your face looks very different from side to side, the injection site is inflamed, you have droopy eyelids or sagging eyelid folds, deep facial scars, thick oily skin, or if your wrinkles can’t be smoothed by spreading them apart. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have: a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease], myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), allergies to any botulinum toxin product or had any side effect from any botulinum toxin product in the past, a breathing problem (such as asthma or emphysema), swallowing problems, bleeding problems, diabetes, a slow heart beat or other problem with your heart rate or rhythm, plans to have surgery, had surgery on your face, weakness of your forehead muscles (such as trouble raising your eyebrows), drooping eyelids, or any other change in the way your face normally looks. Patients with a disease that affects muscles and nerves who are treated with typical doses of Dysport may have a higher risk of serious side effects, including severe swallowing and breathing problems.

Human Albumin This product contains albumin taken from human plasma. Steps taken during donor screening and product manufacturing processes make the risk of spreading viral diseases extremely rare. In theory, there is also an extremely rare risk of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). No cases of spread of viral diseases or CJD have ever been reported for albumin. Allergic Reaction to Injecting in the Skin It is not known if an allergic reaction can be caused by injecting Dysport into the skin. The safety of treating excessive sweating with Dysport is not known. Common Side Effects The most common side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products. Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking Dysport without talking to your doctor first.

MEDICATION GUIDE Dysport ® (DIS-port) (abobotulinumtoxinA) Injection Read the Medication Guide that comes with Dysport before you start using it and each time Dysport is given to you. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. You should share this information with your family members and caregivers. What is the most important information I should know about Dysport ? Dysport may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems after treatment with Dysport : • Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. These problems can happen hours to weeks after an injection of Dysport usually because the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow can become weak after the injection. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with Dysport. • People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe. These patients may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with Dysport. • Swallowing problems may last for several weeks. People who can not swallow well may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving Dysport have the highest risk of getting these problems. • Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include: • loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body • double vision • blurred vision and drooping eyelids • hoarseness or change or loss of voice (dysphonia) • trouble saying words clearly (dysarthria) • loss of bladder control • trouble breathing • trouble swallowing These symptoms can happen hours to weeks after you receive an injection of Dysport. These problems could make it unsafe for you to drive a car or do other dangerous activities. See “What should I avoid while receiving Dysport ?”. What is Dysport ? Dysport is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used:
• to treat the abnormal head position and neck pain that happens with cervical dystonia (CD) in adults • to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults younger than 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary) CD is caused by muscle spasms in the neck. These spasms cause abnormal position of the head and often neck pain. After Dysport is injected into muscles, those muscles are weakened for up to 12 to 16 weeks or longer. This may help lessen your symptoms. Frown lines (wrinkles) happen because the muscles that control facial expression are used often (muscle tightening over and over). After Dysport is injected into the muscles that control facial expression, the medicine stops the tightening of these muscles for up to 4 months. It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective in children under 18 years of age. It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective for the treatment of other types of muscle spasms. It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective for the treatment of other wrinkles. Who should not take Dysport ? Do not take Dysport if you: • are allergic to Dysport or any of the ingredients in Dysport. See the end of this Medication Guide for a list of ingredients in Dysport • are allergic to cow’s milk protein • had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc®* or Botox®* • have a skin infection at the planned injection site What should I tell my doctor before taking Dysport ? Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have: • a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease], myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome). See “What is the most important information I should know about Dysport ?” • allergies to any botulinum toxin product • had any side effect from any botulinum toxin product in the past • a breathing problem, such as asthma or emphysema • swallowing problems • bleeding problems • diabetes • a slow heart beat or other problem with your heart rate or rhythm • plans to have surgery • had surgery on your face • weakness of your forehead muscles (such as trouble raising your eyebrows) • drooping eyelids
• any other change in the way your face normally looks Tell your doctor if you: • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if Dysport can harm your unborn baby • are breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed. It is not known if Dysport passes into breast milk Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products. Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking Dysport without talking to your doctor first. Especially tell your doctor if you: • have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last four months • have received injections of botulinum toxin, such as Myobloc® (Botulinum Toxin Type B)* or Botox® (Botulinum Toxin Type A)* in the past; be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received • have recently received an antibiotic by injection • take muscle relaxants • take an allergy or cold medicine • take a sleep medicine Ask your doctor if you are not sure if your medicine is one that is listed above. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines with you to show your doctor and pharmacist each time you get a new medicine. How should I take Dysport ? • Dysport is an injection that your doctor will give you • Dysport is injected into the affected muscles • Your doctor may give you another dose of Dysport after 12 weeks or longer, if it is needed • If you are being treated for CD, your doctor may change your dose of Dysport, until you and your doctor find the best dose for you • The dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin product What should I avoid while taking Dysport ? Dysport may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, blurred vision, or drooping eyelids within hours to weeks of taking Dysport. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. See “What is the most important information I should know about Dysport ?” What are the possible side effects of Dysport ? Dysport can cause serious side effects.

For more than 40 years, Jack Hanna has been a spokesman for all animals. Hanna, who began his career at Central Florida Zoo in Sanford, has been working at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium since 1978, first as the executive director and currently as the director emeritus. In 2010 Hanna headlined the Naples Zoo’s first fundraiser for the new giraffe habitat, destined to be part of the Kiwa Ranch expansion in the next few years. A giraffe hand-feeding exhibit opened at the Naples Zoo this summer. Hanna travels the world to help educate people on animals through his TV program Jack Hanna’s Into the Wild and as a regular guest on the talk show circuit. n Tell us about your recent adventures.

BUY LOW Time to take advantage of the overflow of premium bottles. By Mark Spivak
If you’re a wine lover, this is the time to buy. Oversupply on the premium end of the market has combined with a sluggish economy to create the perfect storm—wineries are loaded with more product than they can possibly sell, and discounts are greater than ever. There have been serious discounts within the industry before, but they have rarely reached the consumer. In the wake of poor reviews for the 1998 and 2000 California vintages, many distributors reduced prices by half, but retailers and restaurants took most of the profits. This time around there’s a flood of high-end wine in the “dead zone” (bottles over $50 retail) along with consumers who know it’s their moment to receive bargains. The result has been a proliferation of “wine flash sale” websites, which offer drastic reductions on quality bottles. In the beginning, there was Cameron Hughes. This California-based broker achieved success by purchasing overstock from famous wineries and selling it under the generic labels of his Lot series. During a recent visit to his site, chwine.com, he was advertising Lot 212, a Chardonnay “from
one of the most prestigious producers in Carneros,” for $13, boasting that “this producer has incredible vineyard management and a top-of-the-line crush facility.” Hughes says that he moves 250,000 gallons of wine per year, and it’s a great deal for the vintners—they get rid of their excess inventory without ruining their carefully constructed brand image. For a true bargain hunter, though, buying a bottle of Lot 212 Chardonnay seems like a hollow victory. Many consumers 38 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED
want to know exactly where the wine comes from, either for quality assurance or bragging rights, and increasingly the flash sale sites are obliging them. The major sites are Wine.Woot.com, WinesTilSoldOut.com, WineShopper.com, Lot18.com, CinderellaWine.com (owned by Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV), and TheWineSpies.com. There are differences from one site to another, but most sell a single wine each day at drastically reduced prices; the wines are major brands from

California and around the world. Most of the sites are set up as retailers, and deal directly with the public on a no-frills basis. According to a recent study by Wines & Vines magazine, discounts on these sites range from 29 to more than 50 percent. Featured labels have included Robert Mon-
davi, Foley Wines, Cornerstone Cellars, Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, Mumm Napa, St. Supéry, Chateau St. Jean, Kunde Family Estate, St. Francis and the Hess Collection. This model is working well for the producers in the short term, although distributors (not to mention traditional brick
and mortar retailers) aren’t exactly thrilled. There are also implications for the wineries in the long run. What happens when the economy recovers and the glut evaporates? Once consumers become accustomed to paying $30 for a $60 bottle, how are you going to convince them that it’s again worth $60? No one seems to be worrying at the moment, but it’s not easy to visualize how some “high-end” wineries are going to put the toothpaste back in that particular tube. As to the future of the flash sale sites, much depends on the legal status of mailorder shipping and Internet wine buying. Given a free market, it’s safe to assume that they will survive in some form, since the current wine glut is really based on the amount of grapes being grown rather than the volume of wine being made. Until the day when growers start pulling up their vines, the flood is likely to continue. u

pursuits First Class ROMAN MASTERPIECE The Rome Cavalieri is equal parts tranquil refuge, museum-quality art experience and lavish luxury. By Robert Ragaini
In the 1953 film Roman Holiday, Gregory Peck motors Audrey Hepburn through Rome’s chaotic streets on a Vespa scooter. All these years later, nothing about the city’s hustle and bustle has diminished. Fortunately, travelers can escape to the serene oasis of the Waldorf Astoria’s Rome Cavalieri, nestled amid a 15-acre private park minutes from Rome’s center. The stylish and elegant hotel rivals some small museums, with more than 1,100 paintings, sculptures, tapestries and antique furnishings that are cared for by an on-staff restorer. The star of the show is a massive Giovanni Battista Tiepolo triptych bought at auction in 2006. Frescoes from a seventeenth-century villa face the Cascella luxury boutique off the lobby. Also on display is a unique gilt bronze Kingwood Parquetry commode from the mid-eighteenth century that

belonged to Frederick Augustus II, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, that was commissioned by the Palace of Warsaw in 1745. Weary guests fully decompress in opulently appointed suites, each adorned with impressive works of art. The views from all of the suites’ balconies and terraces encompass the entirety of ancient Rome. Of course, all of the art and antiques are complemented by twenty-first century, leading-edge conveniences. For the ultimate relaxation, escape to the Grand Spa Club, with 10 rooms dedicated to pampering treatments from around the world. A face or two may look familiar in the spa; George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio have been here. The Grand Spa Club also features a Turkish bath with hot and cold plunge pools, four swimming pools and hydromassage. When visitors feel sufficiently relaxed and ready for some activity, they can spend some time in the Technogym fitness studio, take a class in the adjoining Pilates or yoga room, or play tennis on one of two Davis Cup clay courts. For those who like a bit more action, we recommend the gladiator training, one of the hotel’s Unique Experiences. Hidden in Rome’s far reaches is a dusty field devoted to the art of the gladiator, where participants are taught formal moves by a teacher steeped in gladiatorial history. The program includes a gladiator kit with traditional tunic, Roman sandals, belt, protective gloves and wooden training sword. At the end of the program, students
receive a medal declaring them a Tiro, or first-level gladiator. For even more action, ask for the special called the Italian Super-Car Experience. Guests get an afternoon with an Italian dream car—a low-slung, smoking-hot red Ferrari F430 Spider. “From zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 3-plus seconds,” the driver says. Suddenly the Ferrari is flying, passing cars with a roar. Later, we get behind the wheel for a slower four-hour drive through hilltop villages on the Mille Miglia route along the winding roads that made the Gran Turismo sports car famous. Another notable offering comes by way of a partnership with Italy’s finest to offer Rome Cavalieri guests exclusive “insider” tours around Rome. Some of the tours include access to locations that are not open to the Afternoon tea in front of the public. Tiepolo triptych. Since art is ubiquitous throughout the property, it’s only appropriate that a living artist resides at the Rome Cavalieri. Chef Heinz Beck of La Pergola Restaurant is one of those rare individuals to have received three Michelin stars; La Pergola is the only restaurant in Rome with the prestigious award. Although no single dish deserves to eclipse the others, Beck’s signature Fagotelli La Pergola (homemade fresh pasta filled with a creamy carbonara sauce of eggs, cheese and pepper, with some zucchini and crispy bacon) is particularly worth trying. As Beck and the rest of the Rome Cavalieri staff know, the ongoing challenge is to match the standards set by the Masters centuries ago. And they do just that. romecavalieri.com u NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2011 41

DOWN MEXICO WAY BMW’s brilliant new 650i convertible makes the perfect driving companion on the road to Cabo. BY HOWARD WALKER
The Mexican Federal Highway 1 (Mex 1 for short) meanders 1,061 miles south along the Baja Peninsula from the U.S. border town of Tijuana to the surf, sun and tequila playground of Cabo San Lucas. Most of it is arrow-straight monotony through scrubby, bone-dry desert, with only the occasional snoozing bovine straddling the center line to inject any excitement. But there’s one section of Mex 1 that runs from the outskirts of La Paz on the Sea of Cortez, across the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains to Cabo San Lucas 120 miles away. It’s officially one of the world’s greatest driving roads. This asphalt roller coaster has more twists than a John Grisham novel and is interspersed with mile-long straightaways for pedal-to-the-metal joy. Traffic is virtually nonexistent, la policía is nowhere to be seen, and the newly surfaced asphalt feels more like a racetrack than a public highway. This is the perfect road to sample BMW’s latest 6 Series convertible, the 2012 650i. With the top down to take in the stunning scenery, a new 4.4-liter V-8 nuclear reactor and 8-speed 42 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED
auto to provide the thrills, and Mex 1 ahead, driving just doesn’t get any better. This is the third-generation 6 Series drop-top. New from the tires up, it’s three inches longer than before, an inch and a half wider, and noticeably roomier. While you’d never call it beautiful—Maserati’s GranTurismo convertible owns that accolade—the refreshed styling gives this new sharknosed 6 Series a look of subtle, bad-boy aggression. See it approaching fast in your rear view and you’re going to move over. While BMW’s designers and engineers pondered the pros and cons of giving this new 6 Series a tin roof, they quickly aban-
doned the idea. Too much metal to fold, too much space taken up in the trunk. Good call. The new multilayered canvas top powers into the trunk in just 19 seconds and can do its job while the car is rolling at speeds up to 25 mph. Even with the top down, you still have 10.6 cubic feet of trunk space to play with— enough for a couple of bulky golf bags, or a weekend’s worth of Louis Vuittons. Slide behind the wheel and it’s hard, if not impossible, to resist exhaling an aahhhh of appreciation. Here is a cocoon of precision-stitched leather, exotic woodwork and satin-brushed metal. It’s not as flashy as a
Bentley Continental GTC’s cabin, or as tactile as the Maserati’s. It’s just teutonically elegant. Dominating the dash is a giant 10.2inch screen—perfect for us over-50s with squinty eyesight. It features new Transreflective technology that makes it easier to read in bright sunlight. Even more impressive is the new mapping software that gives a near 3-D view of the terrain. It’s like looking down at the road from a helicopter. By adding about three inches to the length, BMW has given some much-needed extra knee room in the back. Now there’s space for a couple of adults to sit in reasonable comfort for short trips. Pressing the “start” button breathes life into one of the greatest engines available in any car today—BMW’s potent 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8. The 400 horsepower it produces is impressive enough,
but what really puts a grin on your face is the towering 450 lb-ft of torque that comes from around 1,700 rpm. As clichéd as it sounds, the feeling it gives is just like being released from a catapult. Couple this mighty V-8 with a brilliant new 8-speed automatic that delivers blinkof-an-eye shifts, and you’re rewarded with standstill-to-60 mph in 4.9 seconds, zeroto-100 in under 12.5. On Mex 1 to Cabo, it all comes together to produce one seriously rapid automobile. Play with the paddle shifters to fire you out of the curves, toggle through the trio of suspension settings—Sport Plus will satisfy anyone’s inner Mario Andretti—and you have a car with a breadth of capability that’s unparalleled in this class. For now, just one 6 Series drophead is offered—the $91,375 650i. A new 6 Series coupe lands later this year.

THE NAPLES
10 Famous (and some famously private) Neapolitans
Lush landscape, beautiful beaches and pristine settings—that’s what Naples is known for. What can be surprising is who might be lunching on the other side of the restaurant, or dropping by Wynn’s Market for a last-minute ingredient. Many of these notables chose Naples because of its quiet beauty and the ability to fly under the radar. We introduce 10 interesting, and possibly surprising, neighbors.
THE DRIVEN ONE Courtney Hansen | TV Personality Underneath Courtney Hansen’s well-tended fingernails, you might just find motor oil or axle grease. Indeed, as she enters her sixth year as host of Spike TV’s auto-intensive Powerblock, the former fashion and fitness model is more than eye candy for gearheads—she knows her way around a carburetor. Author of a nationally syndicated car column since 2005 (which appears in her hometown Naples Daily News) and a book about auto maintenance, Hansen understands the disconnect. “It used to surprise people, but I think most of them get it now,” she says, acknowledging that the double takes she gets when she overhauls an engine are “flattering and cool.” Having represented Rolls-Royce and Dodge, and serving as the current face for Matco Tools and others, Hansen’s car savvy—coming by way of her father, Jerry, a former pro racing champion and track owner—has helped make her a much-in-demand entertainment and marketing commodity since moving to Los Angeles 12 years ago. In addition to her host duties, she is currently producing and pitching a pilot for her own car-oriented TV show—“it’s nice to be on the other side of the camera for a change,” she says—and has just unveiled a line of designer T-shirts (Auto Angel) that will be distributed—where else?—at major auto parts stores. Even so, says the Barron Collier High School graduate, “Naples is still my home, and I love to get there as often as I can.” —Jason Davis

THE GOOD DOCTOR Robin Cook | Author and Physician The phone line crackles from Beijing, where Robin Cook is midway through a tour of China. It’s part vacation, part business for the physician/author whose name is synonymous with the “medical thriller” genre. Nearly 35 years after his breakthrough novel Coma—a bellwether fictionalization of corruption in the health-care industry—and some 29 titles later, Cook is intrigued by China’s growing economic power and what it might mean for modern medicine, an “inherently scary” topic that only gets scarier by adding elements of a secretive culture and a repressive government. “This trip has stimulated my imagination, both good and bad, so I’m sure we’ll end up doing some project involving China. Besides, they’ve already pirated most of my novels anyway,” he quips. In the meantime, Cook, who splits his time between Boston and Naples, has been working with his own production company to turn his 2010 bestseller Cure into a movie screenplay while simultaneously putting the final touches on Death Benefit, due in December. The new book will explore ties between Wall Street and the have the distractions of the big city. “It’s a good place to write when I’m there,” he says. “Calm, relaxed … I feel like I can concentrate with nothing else impinging on my time.” —Jason Davis

MUSIC MAN Mark Wright | Music producer/songwriter When music producer/songwriter Mark Wright comes to Naples, sometimes it’s with country stars in tow. “We work on songs, golf and go out to dinner,” he says. “It’s highquality fun.” Wright is president of Show Dog-Universal Music, his company with business partner and country star Toby Keith, who is a sometimes-visitor to Naples. Wright began visiting Naples in the 1990s before buying a home. He recently finished producing records for Keith and Trace Adkins, and is working on albums for Joe Nichols and Gary Allen. JT Hodges, an up-and-coming musical artist, wrote some of his debut record while visiting Naples. “We come to Naples to have fun, but we’ve written good songs we’ve recorded,” says Wright. The music business changed a lot since he attended the Belmont University music business program in the late 1970s, and became one of the youngest executives at a major label at age 25. Country music fans still want CDs, and Wright knows what else they want. He produced Clint Black’s debut album Killin’ Time in 1989, which spawned five number-one hits, and Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” which was among more than 40 number-one singles he has either written, published or produced. Wright’s songwriting successes include the Oak Ridge Boys’ “Lucky Moon” and “Today My World Slipped Away,” covered by both George Strait and Vern Gosdin, as well as music for the TV series Miami Vice. His own voice has been heard singing jingles for McDonald’s, Harley-Davidson, Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Goodyear Tires. Does Wright mind being the behind-the-scenes guy? “Not really,” he says. “I know what it takes to be a star. I’ve always wanted to be a creator.” —Kathy Becker
NOTABLE AMBASSADOR Paddy Moloney | Founder and Leader of the Chieftains As Paddy Moloney prepares for the 50th Anniversary Tour of the Chieftains in 2012, easily the most famous Irish band in the world (apart from U2), it’s not for a reunion tour, or merely a reminiscence of past glory. The Chieftains have never stopped being at the top of their musical game, and 72-yearold leader Moloney doesn’t even contemplate retirement as he looks to the world anniversary tour, including visits to New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington, and Albert Hall in London. He revels in his recent audience with Queen Elizabeth during her visit to Ireland, and having one of his tin whistles played by an astronaut in space. An anniversary CD in the works will feature major musicians, a practice that has peppered the Chieftains’ collaborations for years with names including members of the Beatles, Sting, Van Morrison, Ziggy Marley, Art Garfunkel, Elton John and others. “It’s going to be a wonderful year,” Moloney says. Still, the musician, who spends five months of the year at his home of 12 years in Naples, says he can’t get a gig at the Naples Philharmonic Center. “I remember two nights at the Phil, but they haven’t invited me back,” he says, laughing. Also on his to-do list is Broadway. When he’s in Naples, he enjoys his garden, many friends, having parties, and jam sessions with fellow European musicians Michael “Jesse” Owens and Gerry Forde, as well as local musicians. “It’s such a great holiday house,” he says.

WORD WORKS Sue Monk Kidd | Author Writer Sue Monk Kidd feels she’s in just the right place. A year ago she permanently moved with her husband, Sandy, daughter Ann, and Ann’s family to a home on Marco Island. She has found her muse there for her next writing project, even as she prepares to celebrate the tenth anniversary of her first and most recognized novel The Secret Life of Bees, which was made into a major motion picture in 2008. The author is two years into researching her first historical novel, set in Charleston, South Carolina. In the midst of that project, she and her daughter decided to simplify their lives and move to Florida full-time following a lifetime in the South. “I love the rhythm I’m in,” Kidd says. “I take a walk on the beach every morning and come back and work. I have a nice view of the Gulf from my study. It’s so nourishing; very muselike. I don’t know how the landscape and this particular place help me work, but they do.” Moving to Florida gave her a distance from Charleston. “The story is about two sisters who had to leave Charleston,” she says. “It’s an interesting parallel.” As she settles into her Florida life, Kidd doesn’t doubt that her current environment may work its way into future work. Her daughter Ann, who co-wrote Kidd’s last book, a memoir titled Traveling With Pomegranates, is working on —Kathy Becker Ann Kidd Taylor, left; Sue Monk Kidd, right

CENTER STAGE Patty Baker | Tony Award-Winning Producer Patty Baker wrote, acted and produced her own plays when she was in grade school, but she didn’t get back into theater until five years ago, as a Broadway producer. After studying art history and theater in college, she realized she couldn’t make a living on stage. Today the arts and education supporter has a big role financing shows as a producer. “It’s like the stock market, but more fun,” she says. “Even if you don’t make money, you have wonderful experiences.” Her first foray into producing was Legally Blonde, The Musical, which lost momentum on Broadway after a scene designers’ strike, but gained it back on tour. Baker has also backed All My Sons, Blithe Spirit and Memphis, which won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. She called winning a Tony in 2010 “ethereal,” even though her gown was stepped on as she made her way to the stage. “I could barely get up the steps,” she recalls. “It was really great.” In February 2012, the touring company brings Memphis to the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts, where Baker and her husband, Jay, donated $10 million to the Naples Museum of Art. Baker enjoys sharing her passions with her friends in Naples and New York. “It’s wonderful when they merge,” she says. “It’s like coming home to two places, like when friends from different parts of your life meet each other and get along.” Currently, she is behind the Broadway hit Catch Me if You Can, and is looking forward to Bonnie & Clyde and another show this fall. She also enjoys mentoring others, including friends in Naples, to invest in theater through her company Good

MODEL QUALITY Kate King | Fashion Model Kate King’s seventeenth year was a great one—the year of her first modeling job for a Tommy Hilfiger ready-to-wear show. Since then, she has been named to Style.com’s Top Ten Models for the fall fashion runway shows, hitting the catwalk for Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, Moschino, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior. King is also one of the new faces for the Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign, and “2011 has been the most crazy and life-changing year I have ever experienced,” she says. “I was definitely surprised by how much of your life has to become dedicated to your career in order to be successful.” With little downtime between jetting from one exotic shoot to another from her home in New York, Naples is where she likes to relax. Her grandparents and family have been vacationing in Naples, and her family moved to Naples when she was 12 from Toronto, where she was born. “I went to school [in Naples] for five years; I have many friends to visit,” she says. “I love Naples. It has a quaint small-town charm but with all the conveniences of living in a city. I have always loved the beach, and in town you are never more than a 15-minute drive away from one.” With her modeling career on a skyrocket, a day at the beach is as close to teenage normal as the now-busy career woman can get. “I do feel like I miss out on normal high school experiences; I didn't get to go to prom or graduation,” she says. “However, even though I didn't get to walk for graduation, I did get to walk amazing shows in Fashion Week, and those experiences for me are more special.” While everyone is focused on her looks, King says she continues to look for what’s beautiful about people on the inside. “I would like people to know that I am smart and love to eat, and that the majority of models are really intelligent girls who are completely healthy.” —Kathy Becker
PITCH MAN Chris Resop | Major League Pitcher Every boy imagines making it to the big leagues. For Naples native Chris Resop, relief pitcher for Major League Baseball’s Pittsburgh Pirates, that boyhood dream is now reality. “I have wanted to be a professional baseball player ever since the first grade,” says Resop, now 29, and pitching his first full season in the bigs since being drafted in the fourth round by the Florida Marlins in 2005. Predominantly a power pitcher, Resop relies on his fastball when facing the batter. “I go right after guys,” he says. “I am not a finesse pitcher, trying to paint the corners of the plate; I’m aggressive with my fastball.” Resop was claimed off waivers from the Atlanta Braves by the Pirates in August 2010, and has helped bring the Bucs a winning record as of the All Star break this season, the first time the Pirates have been above .500 at the break since 1992. Resop attributes this to the solidarity
Dave Arrigo, Pittsburgh Pirates
of the team and its “not in our house” mentality. “We’re playing for 27 outs. Teams are not going to walk in here and walk all over us, it’s going to be a battle.” Off the field, Resop has been making strides in the community, working with the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Make a Wish Foundation. He makes a trip to the hospital every home stand, signing autographs, talking with the kids, anything to brighten their day. That’s something he and his wife, Kara, hope to continue in the Naples area during the offseason. “Anytime I can help out these little kids, put a smile on their face, is huge.” For now, Resop takes the mound, throwing heat and hoping for outs. “Our goal all year is to make the playoffs. Whether that happens or not, time will tell; it is a long season.” —Stephen Brown NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2011 61
THE NEW BOSS Jim Towey | President, Ave Maria University Jim Towey enjoys a challenge, which explains why he has taken on a new role in a new community—as president of Ave Maria University. He speaks frankly but confidently about his goal to grow the school’s enrollment, boost its financial sustainability and weave it deeper into Southwest Florida’s cultural fabric. “It’s every bit as challenging as anything I’ve ever undertaken,” says Towey, whose background melds politics (senior adviser to President George W. Bush, director of Health and Rehabilitative Services under Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles) and academia (past-president of Saint Vincent College in Pennsylvania), among other endeavors, and he believes those experiences will be an asset. “Politics has the potential for quick change, where a university environment is often resistant to it,” he says. “We can blend the best of both.” A Jacksonville native, Towey says he has embraced his new surroundings from the start, whether spending time with his family exploring the local restaurant scene (“I’m a sucker for P.F. Chang’s”) or playing golf (“not well”) on area courses, and he hopes Ave Maria’s staff, faculty and students will pick up on his enthusiasm. “One of people around you,” says Towey, who assumed his duties July 1. “I feel the same way I did in the West Wing—in the company of some very bright, very dedicated people.” —Jason Davis

As their custom clothier, Wendt is intimately aware of their measurements and how to make them look good—in their clothing, if not in their stats. Wendt’s 20-plus years of experience led to direct access to the players’ lounges, and as a result, his clientele includes more than a hundred NFL players and coaches, including Chad Pennington, Ronnie Brown, Justin Tuck, Michael Strahan, Fred McGriff and John Lynch, as well as sports personalities Michael Smith and Jay Glazer. His customers clearly appreciate his work; Wendt attends the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl every year. “There’s an importance to a guy who is in great shape to have a great fit,” Wendt says. “What’s the point in working out if the suit is all boxy

and doesn’t fit?” Now Wendt, who has shops in New York City and on Long Island, plans to open a store in Naples later this year. He looks to work with the area’s retired and active CEOs who know the importance of dressing well. He also seeks to work with men coming to the area for destination weddings, suiting up wedding parties. Wendt thinks that a community like Naples, where high-powered executives build homes and charities such as the Naples Winter Wine Festival from the ground up, could benefit from his clothing expertise. “Why would they want what everyone else in the world has?” he says. —Kathy Becker NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2011 63
Timing is
everything By Susan Powell Brown
Horologists universally agree watches do more than tell time. NI dials back the hands to reveal a few of history’s greatest and most interesting complications—and their famous fans. 64 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED
“Each watch has a story to tell; it meant something to someone,” says John Reardon, senior vice president, head of watches, Sotheby’s New York. Reardon has authored two books on Patek Philippe watches, and is a regular contributor for hodinkee.com, a watch-enthusiasts website named after the Czech word for watch. Reardon’s appreciation of watches began during his youth, where he says he “grew up” (and later interned) at the American Clock & Watch Museum in his hometown of Bristol, Connecticut. Even today, learning something new about a watch— who made it, who wore it, etcetera—continues to fascinate him.
Watch collectors possess a tremendous respect for tradition and detail. In a world of micro-engineers, watches reign as the quintessential mechanical art, with additional functions beyond simple time—such as day and date, chronographs and other mechanisms called complications. While less overt than haute couture, the economy likewise influences haute horology, with changes depicting a reflection of the times. For example, from 2000 to 2008, watch designs got bigger in response to the boom years; after 2008, financial crisis evinced itself in slimmer designs and smaller watches overall. Although pocket watches date back to the 1500s, it wasn’t until 1851 that they became iconic. While

visiting an exhibition of timepieces at the Crystal Palace in London, England’s Queen Victoria discovered Patek Philippe’s keyless pocket watches and purchased two—one for herself, one for Prince Albert. Patek Philippe, already considered the world’s premier watchmaker, was put on the map with Queen Victoria’s purchases, Reardon says. The coup de grâce of celebrity endorsements, prominent people have been following the queen’s lead ever since, including Marie Curie, Joe DiMaggio, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, Clark Gable, John F. Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth, Tchaikovsky, Pope Leo XIII—even the Dalai Lama, who received a watch as a gift from President Roosevelt in 1943. New York banker Henry Graves Jr. enjoyed a friendly competition with automobile magnate James Ward Packard to own the watch with the greatest number of complications. Both men commissioned several Patek Philippe watches in the early 1900s. The Henry Graves Supercomplication,
completed in 1933, had 24 complications (the most of any watch until Patek Philippe’s Calibre 89 in 1989 with 33 complications). Sotheby’s sold the Graves Supercomplication at auction in Geneva to an anonymous bidder in 1999 for more than $11 million—the highest price ever paid for a watch. According to Sam Hines, Christie’s New York senior vice president, head of the Watches Department, Packard was one of the godfathers of watch collecting, and would request unique examples be custom-manufactured exclusively for him. Packard had more than 20 watches in his collection, including a Patek Philippe minute repeater in its original box with the original certificate, and a Vacheron Constantin 20-karat gold minute repeater chronograph clockwatch in a custom-fitted wood box with handwritten operating instructions. Both were very ornate, and considered exceptional watches with significant value and historical importance. The watches sold

in June at Christie’s New York auction for $986,500 and more than $1.7 million, respectively. Ralph Teetor, a blind but prolific inventor in the automotive industry, purchased Patek Philippe’s minute repeater in 1925, which gonged audibly and allowed Teetor to determine the time. (Teetor was all about practicality, and invented cruise control out of frustration with his lawyer, who had an annoying habit of accelerating when he was talking and decelerating when he wasn’t—a practice that nauseated Teetor.) His daughter presented her father’s watch with its highly prized complications to the Foundation for the Blind; it sold at auction for $800,000. Alexander Eblen, director of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers’ Fine Jewelry and Timepieces Department, chronicles watches of a few famous Americans, beginning with Charles Lindbergh, a trailblazer in the early days of branding. In 1926, Bulova gifted Lindbergh with a solid gold watch to attach the Bulova name to Lindbergh’s—not to mention to the world of aviation and exploration. Later, Lindbergh consulted with Swiss watchmaker Longines for development and production of an Hour Angle watch, paramount for aviators at that time to
tion. Having gone from necessity to accessory, “watches are absolutely a statement of personal fashion,” says Eblen, noting that of all jewelry categories, men regularly wear watches. Yet beyond fashion sense, recent economic changes have resulted in the extraordinarily wealthy making auction purchases as an alternative to traditional investing. Eblen says current purchasers possess a decided awareness of having purchased a treasure, or, at a minimum, a convertible asset. Factors influencing desirability and price of watches include rarity, condition, complications, use of precious metals and freshness to the market. “Technology has made the world smaller, which has really helped the watch market,” says Sam Hines, Christie’s New York senior vice president, head of the Watches Department. “Watches themselves are very technical things, so they go hand-in-hand with technology,” he adds. The result is increased market knowledge and escalating auction prices. Watch sales at Christie’s, which holds eight sales each year dedicated exclusively to timepieces, soared from $18 million in 2003 to $92 million in 2010.

facilitate setting a course. In a similar spirit, Breitling recently joined forces with actor/aviator John Travolta. Steve McQueen and his famed machismo took TAG Heuer’s Monaco Calibre 12 chronograph from the box office to the red carpet in Le Mans. The Monaco became a status symbol overnight, more for look than function, Eblen says. Nonetheless, offscreen McQueen wore the Rolex Explorer II. “No brand is more synonymous with watches than Rolex,” Eblen says. After Joanne Woodward gave Paul Newman a Rolex Daytona in 1972, he

investment, Fisker’s Karma goes on sale this summer with a price tag of $95,900—and an ambitious global sales target of 15,000 cars a year. Under the hood, it has a GM-supplied turbo four-cylinder that acts as a he-man-sized generator. This charges up a lithium-ion battery pack that, in turn, provides the volts to two big electric motors that deliver a combined 403 horsepower to the rear axle. In your stop-start daily commute, the Karma will run for around 50 miles on stealthy, zero-emission electric power. If that runs out, the gas motor kicks in to give you another 250 miles on a tank, or roughly 40 mpg. It’s pretty quick for a hybrid. On electric power alone, it’ll run zero-to-60 in 7.9 seconds, or 5.9 seconds with a boost from the gas engine. And, as you’d expect, the Karma is big on sustainability. Its roof is one big solar panel, the chassis and body are made of lightweight aluminum, and even the wood inside is recycled—it’s made from fallen lumber from California and Lake Michigan. That’s enough to give every tree-hugger some instant karma. 70 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

If Walls Could Talk David and Judy Bishop respect the voices of the past, even as they make a historic Old Naples home their own. By Kathy Becker Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz
76  NAPLES ILLUSTRATED
David and Judy Bishop honored the past of their historic cottage while making it modern, adding a large outdoor room where a patio was believed to have been, and creating more space in former porches. Hurricane windows help ensure the home’s future survival.

avid Bishop has discovered that the story of his renovated historic home cannot be told without exploring the lives of the people who once lived there. When he purchased his circa 1912 Old Naples cottage, however, he wasn’t looking to save a house or its history. After his wife, Judy, took him in 1997 to look at the rundown cottage with its wraparound porches, Bishop was ready to look elsewhere. Despite having renovated other properties, including a 12-room house in New Jersey and an old polo pony stable in Illinois, he couldn’t see value in the Naples home other than the property. “By the time we hit the front door, he was asking where else we’d look,” Judy says. “I told him we were done. I never wanted to tear this house down.” David was more practical. “With flood regulations, I didn’t think we could save it,” he says. Judy prevailed; they bought the property and continued to rent it out. In 1999, designers for the Naples Historical Society spiffed up the place for a historic home tour, which helped David see the home’s charming potential. “They made it so I could like it,” he says.
When they moved to Naples permanently two years ago, the Bishops started renovating. “It was an expensive project,” he says. “Could we have built another house for what we spent? Probably.” Anyone who has embarked on restoring an old house runs across evidence of previous occupants and the sometimes-puzzling changes made to the home through the years. “It was definitely many ‘remuddles,’” David quips. Solving some of the home’s structural mysteries led to uncovering the history of its occupants. From 1919 to 1940, the home was owned by John “Uncle Jack” Hachmeister and known 78 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED
Clockwise from bottom left: Judy and David Bishop researched the history of their home and its occupants extensively. The modern kitchen was created in a former porch. Wood ceilings and walls not original to the cottage but added by other owners complement the Bishops’ own dining table, perfect for large family gatherings. The dining room was also once a screened porch. The Bishops have added their own history to the home with their favorite pieces.
NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2011 79
Clockwise from top left: The outdoor pavilion is one of the Bishops’ favorite “rooms.” In attempting to save the fireplace, they had to make changes, so they added built-in bookcases. “Elegant cottage chic” is how the Bishops have defined their space. Several buildings on the property were rehabilitated to rent or house visitors.

as “Hack’s Shack.” Hachmeister was a retiree from Kentucky horse racing who chronicled early life in Naples through pictures. He also brought the first coconut palms to the seaside community. Hachmeister is credited with starting Naples on the path to beautiful landscaping and boulevards. The Bishops honored him by creating a palm garden on the property, and by hosting a fundraising event for Naples Backyard History in February at their home. The Bishops added a covered porch on the side of the house, near where the home was thought to have a lanai in Hachmeister’s day. Another interesting and somewhat mysterious resident was Mackworth Rees, who built a 50-foot radio tower on an addition known as the “Radio Shack.” The building thought to be his radio room is attached to the main cottage and serves as the Bishops’ guest quarters. David is still researching Rees’ story, including his role in establishing the Collier County Public Library (where a meeting room bears his name), developing early car electronics for Ford and U.S. Navy radar equipment, and being one of the first to hear the news by amateur radio of Castro’s invasion of Cuba. Even while honoring the home’s past, the Bishops knew ensuring its survival would provide an ongoing template reflecting the lives of all its owners, including modern residents. Although the Bishops discovered that the original fireplace was enormous, a cracked chimney led them to reconfigure the fireplace and add bookcases. The Dade County heart pine floors were too hard to pull up and restore, but the home’s bead-board ceiling and board and batten paneling remain. Former porches became the modernequipped kitchen and a bathroom, while the 1960s paneling in the foyer and dining room—although not part of the home when it was built—were preserved, and complement the Bishops’ European wooden dining table. Some changes just had to be made. “We thought we could save the bathroom, but the floor was only being held up by the mesh of the tile,” David says. Hurricane impact-windows and extra siding were added to protect the home, they hope for another 100 years. “We support the concept of keeping houses, and bringing them back,” Judy says.
“I knew I could make it functional,” David adds. “I didn’t really have the vision it would turn out so nice.” And now the Bishops are busy adding their own story to the home, lovingly named the Shack by two Naples pioneers. In recognition of their own imprint on the home’s history, the Bishops call it Terra Palma. u
Wood and original features were saved whenever possible.

GIVING BACK
GOOD KARMA By Christina Wells
Bob Goldman is a multifaceted man. By day, he is a Naples-based trust and estate litigator. In his free time, Goldman produces concerts through the Trust for the Advancement of Responsible Artists (TARA), an organization that works to team charitable organizations with musical artists looking for a way to give back. TARA grew out of Goldman’s relationship with Eden Autism Services. As a volunteer with Eden Florida, Goldman was looking for ways to promote the organization. “I knew that the more people learned about Eden, the more likely they would be to support the organization financially,” says Goldman. “But getting the word out can be challenging, especially because there are so many fine charitable organizations competing for our attention. Hosting a concert seemed like a good way to introduce Eden to the community and to promote up-and-coming musical artists.” Goldman’s success formula showcases the considerable talents of singers like Arnold McCuller, a backup vocalist for stars including Lyle Lovett and Bonnie Raitt. Goldman teamed McCuller with Eden Autism Services, making him the headliner at the first Alive in the World concert. McCuller encouraged the late singer Phoebe Snow to do a show and other artists followed, including Ben Taylor, son of legends James Taylor and Carly Simon, as well as Karla Bonoff, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Francine Reed, Brandi Carlile and Girlyman. TARA’s most recent production was this year’s Eden benefit concert at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts, once again featuring Ben Taylor, fresh off his first tour with James Taylor. Goldman thinks the Beatles got it right when they sang, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” “I do charitable work not to buy my way up, but because it feels so good to make people [good] karma for me, all the better.” u
