From the Publisher

I describe my early relationship with the sport of polo as “dragged, kicking and screaming.” I began attending Sunday matches at the International Polo Club in 2008, when the watch manufacturer my wife worked for became a tournament sponsor. Sure, the matches offered plenty of excitement and the occasional heart-stopping wreck, but it was hard to follow the game from Sunday to Sunday atop our grandstand perch.

Then, through the sponsor, I met Nic Roldan, one of the top American polo players. Later, I met his father, Raul. As a former player, team manager, and patient teacher, Raul’s perspective and experience helped me appreciate not only what was happening on the field but also the preparation that took place at the barn before a game. Like most polo newbies, I was amazed to learn each player brings eight to 12 ponies to a match. And, they each cost how much?

Moving to the backfields at IPC with Raul and his wife, Dee, I soon found myself watching two or three matches every Sunday. Now, thanks to livestreamed games on ChukkerTV, I can keep up with medium-goal polo and U.S. Open Polo Championship qualifiers while updating spreadsheets at the office.

Over the last eight years, I’ve watched a lot of polo and seen good players become great. Some of the young kids knocking around the sidelines with foot mallets have turned into high-goal phenoms in their own right. It’s already amusing to look back at their progress and “remember when.”

In this issue, our editor in chief gave me the opportunity to profile five talented players who are on successful runs in a very competitive field. I look at where they are and where they’re going in “Rising Stars,” page 104. We hope you enjoy reading this polo-centric issue as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing it to you.

NICOLE FRANZEN

There is no question that polo is huge in the Palm Beaches. Not only does it provide a diversion every winter and spring, but, with the seasonal descent of top polo organizations and their well-oiled machines, it contributes handsomely to the county’s economic picture. Beyond all the objective reasons for welcoming the sport to our backyard, there is a certain je ne sais quoi that attracts many of us to polo like butterflies to nectar.

Our cover subjects, polo superstar Nacho Figueras and his wife, Delfina Blaquier, understand this concept well. They have been around horses since childhood in their native Argentina, the spiritual home of polo. Nacho, who is as famous for being the face of Ralph Lauren as he is for his polo prowess, has become an ambassador for the sport, hosting exhibition matches and polo fundraisers around the world, perhaps most notably for Prince Harry and his charity, Sentebale.

Why does he do it? As Delfi puts it, “Nacho will be very happy when kids go to a polo game instead of a baseball game.” In short, he will not stop until the sport proliferates mass consciousness. I had the opportunity to spend some time with Nacho and Delfi in New York City over the summer, and we talked a lot about polo going mainstream—and many other topics, including their nomadic lifestyle and their beautiful connection, to which so many couples aspire. For the short version of the interview and the intimate moments captured by photographer Ben Fink Shapiro, turn to “#WeAreFigueras” on page 96, and head to palmbeachillustrated.com/wearefigueras for the rest of the story.

As an homage to the sport that has become so intricately woven into the Palm Beach landscape, we have devoted much of this issue to polo. In our Polo Primer, starting on page 83, you will find need-to-know information about this year’s polo season and all the changes afoot at International Polo Club Palm Beach (“Goal Guide,” page 84). You will learn about the fashion trends dominating the sidelines, tailgate areas, and brunch celebrations (“Sunday Best,” page 88). And you will travel to South America and UAE in search of adventure— on and off a horse (“School of Polo,” page 110).

I hope this compilation will serve as a handy guide for your own Sunday sojourns to Wellington to cheer for your favorite teams and players. I’ll see you on the fields.

LOG ON recipe

Coffee and Cream January 25 marks National Irish Coffee Day, a full winter day dedicated to the classic coffee- and whiskeybased cocktail. Hot coffee topped with fresh whipped cream makes for a great cold-weather sip, so brew up a few glasses (in the evening, of course) and celebrate the holiday with this traditional recipe, courtesy of the International Bartenders Association.

&

Warm whiskey over a burner, but do not bring to a boil. Pour into a glass, add hot coffee and brown sugar, and stir lightly. Top with whipped cream, using the back of a bar spoon to gently float the cream on top, and serve hot. For those seeking some extra flavor, add an ounce or two of Baileys Irish Cream for a kick of sweetness, or garnish your dollop of whipped cream with a dash of cinnamon for a festive finish.

Graceful Guest Season is now in full swing, and if you’re a Palm Beach party-goer then you probably have a different event to attend every week, each with its own version of the ubiquitous Palm Beach cheese puff.

Call to Compassion

PBI: Your father was a prolific playwright. How did his career influence your theatrical aspirations?

Linney: As much as I would love to take credit for my own interest in the arts, the reality is that my father was a huge influence. He was also inspiring. I learned from him how noble, brave, and vital a life in the arts could be, and also how challenging and frustrating.

What became clear through his example was that the love for the work itself has to outweigh all else.

Reflecting upon the array of characters you’ve played, is there one who remains close to your heart?

There are a few characters whom I am especially fond of. It’s impossible for me to choose just one. Wendy in The Savages I loved for her flaws. Clara Kinsey in Kinsey I loved for her capacity to love. Abigail Adams I loved because, well, she was Abigail Adams. And Mary Ann Singleton in Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City I loved her desire to find a life filled with likeminded people, to find her family.

In The Big C, you played a character fighting cancer.

How did you prepare to portray the emotional struggles of dealing with disease?

Instead of concentrating on the emotions that come with the prospects of dying, I thought a lot about the question of how does a person die well? We spend a lot of time and money on living well, but what can we do to die well? To have a good death is, I think, a part of having a good life. I kept that on the forefront of Cathy’s mind during the four seasons of the show.

JOAN MARCUS

Laura Linney is more than a talented film, television, and stage actress. She’s also a fierce advocate for cancer research. She stood by her father, playwright Romulus Linney, during his fight against lung cancer and shed new light on the disease as the executive producer and star of the Showtime series The Big C. On January 26, she will share her journey at the H.O.W. Hearing the Ovarian Cancer Whisper annual luncheon at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.

Linney spoke with PBI about her acting career and how portraying a terminal cancer patient affected her outlook on life. (561-406-2109, howflorida.org)

BOSTON STRONG April 15, 2013, began as a typical Patriots’ Day for Ed Davis. As the police commissioner of the Boston Police Department, Davis was in charge of security for the Boston Marathon. By mid-afternoon, he would be supervising an otherworldly crime scene and a police force numbering in the thousands, all tasked with supporting the victims and finding the perpetrators behind a devastating act of homegrown terrorism.

The events and players surrounding the Boston Marathon bombings are the subject of Patriots Day, a new movie in theaters January 13. The film stars John Goodman as Davis and Mark Wahlberg as a fictional police sergeant. Davis, who has since retired from the Boston Police Department, will visit the Florida Atlantic University Lifelong Learning Society campus in Jupiter February 2 to discuss his experience. Here, he shares his thoughts about the bombings. (patriotsdayfilm.com, fau.edu/llsjupiter)

Boston’s response to the attack: “The first response was abject fear.

People, quite frankly, did not know where to go or what to do. [But] that was just a momentary response. Very quickly, that first hesitation turned into a really powerful, cohesive response by the city to first run these guys down and then to rally behind the victims.”

Unexpected outpouring of support: “I remember seeing #BostonStrong halfway through the event, and that hashtag was emblematic of how resilient the people in the city are. That struck me, and also the sign outside Yankee Stadium that read, ‘We’re with you guys.’ I never in my life thought that would happen.”

Biggest lesson: “The importance of collaboration and the fact that team-

work really is crucial. If you exercise that, as I’ve tried to my whole life, there comes a time when it makes all the difference.”

Reaction to being portrayed by John Goodman: “I’m incredibly flattered.

I’ve had the chance to get to know him a little bit. It’s still surreal. He’s incredibly talented. He lives the role, and I think you’ll see that.”

What audiences should take away from the film: “I hope they recognize that in today’s environment anybody can be thrust into a situation where they might have to exercise leadership or traits they never expected, and I’m a perfect example of that.”

THE VALUE OF VALOR

Calendar cover photo

by Captain Kimo

“Doing for others is what I see as a woman of valor. You do good things and what do you get in return?

Not grandiosity, not fame, not money. You get joy from having done good work.”

PALM BEACH PALETTE

On January 7, Mandel JCC of the Palm Beaches will honor Palm Beach Gardens resident Ann Brown with its inaugural Woman of Valor Award. A lifelong consumer rights advocate, Brown dedicated her career to fighting for the safety of children and families.

Although she describes her need to serve others as inborn, her experiences shaped how she would turn empathy into action.

Growing up in Washington D.C., Brown hung out at the women’s ready-to-wear shop her parents owned and was intrigued by the commercial exchanges at their store and neighboring establishments.

“I was fascinated by the buying and selling process and also fascinated with the problems that consumers would have,” says Brown.

Later, she formed a grassroots organization aimed at issuing consumer alerts, highlighting issues, and conducting surveys. One of the first topics tackled was the discrepancy between the cost of toys in the inner city versus the suburbs.

“We found that the price of toys was higher in the inner city, where people could least afford to pay,” she says.

During the press conference to share these results, a child cut herself on a toy, prompting Brown to turn her focus solely to the safety of children’s products. She brought this passion to the Consumer Federation of America, where she served as vice president for 15 years, and to her stint as the chairman of the board of the consumer advocacy group Public Voice. All the while, she criticized the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for failing to protect the American people.

“I criticized the agency for [being] a do-nothing agency, just wasting the consumer’s money instead of taking care of children,” she says.

Like any good public servant, Brown turned that disgust into action. In 1994, President Bill Clinton appointed her to be the commissioner of the same agency she’d once condemned. During her tenure, Brown proved her valor by making the safety of Americans her top priority, even when faced with partisan gridlock and sexism.

“Doing for others is what I see as a woman of valor,” she says. “You do good things and what do you get in return? Not grandiosity, not fame, not money. You get joy from having done good work.” (561-509-0102, jcconline.com)

The author of several art history tomes, Pollack utilized resources from the Historical Society of Palm Beach County to form this comprehensive review of how Palm Beach’s exceptional beauty and financial clout influenced painters, photographers, sculptors, and dealers.

15 SURFBOARDS by 15 SHAPERS Through January 21, 2017

An exhibition unlike any other, “15 Surfboards by 15 Shapers” is the brainchild of Tony Arruza, who has traveled the world in search of professional surfboard hand-craftsmen to create one-of-a-kind works of art. Having no two boards the same, Arruza has inlaid photographs, all of which he has taken and printed himself, that aesthetically lend themselves to the boards’ shapes. Five years in the making, this worldwide collaboration has resulted in 15 finished boards, each a distinct, fine art creation. Galleries located in the Robert M. Montgomery, Jr. Building at 601 Lake Avenue in downtown Lake Worth, are free and open to the public Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

EVOLUTION OF A NARTIST

Bernie Taupin: A Life in Art Photos courtesy of TAUPIN Art Management

BERNIE

BERNARD JOHN “BERNIE” TAUPIN (born 22 May 1950) is a life-long artist best known for his longterm musical collaboration with Sir Elton John. While having written the lyrics for a majority of John’s songs, Bernie’s life as an artist includes being a poet, author, performer, painter and sculptor.

Born in rural England, the 17-year old Taupin answered an advertisement for new songwriters in 1967 placed by Liberty Records. A talented London pianist and singer, 20-year old Reggie Dwight, responded to the same ad.

Both were rejected but worked together and developed their talent writing songs for other British performers.

In 1970, Taupin wrote “Your Song,” Dwight changed his name to Elton John and the rest is music history. Among the more than 500 songs Taupin has written include the lyrics for “Rocket Man,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Daniel” and “Bennie and the Jets.”

Taupin, a lifelong creative, was inspired in his youth by the narrative poetry of Tennyson and Byron, the paintings of J.M.W. Turner and the history of America and the American West. He became a master storyteller in each artistic medium, often referencing these themes in his writing and using them in his abstract artworks. He became an American citizen decades ago and realized his dream of becoming a real-life cowboy by having a working ranch in California. Taupin expresses his strong patriotism including the motif, the American flag, in many recent works. Taupin’s art has received critical acclaim, been presented by important galleries and is sought by serious collectors.

“I am a simple vessel with complex overtones.

Opinionated on occasions but willing to listen.

Comfortable with reclusiveness and devoted to privacy and family. Patriotic to a fault and allergic to cruelty, ignorance and bad music,” said Taupin.

In addition to working with Sir Elton John, Taupin has written for other composers, including Starship’s “We Built This City” and Heart’s “These Dreams.” In 1978, he co-wrote the album “From the Inside” with Alice Cooper.

Taupin formed his own band, Farm Dogs, and released the album “Last Stand in Open Country” in 1996. Other collaborations include Willie Nelson, Kid Rock, Lee Ann Womack (with whom Taupin won a Grammy in 2003). In 2004, Taupin co-wrote Courtney Love’s song “Uncool.”

In 2006, Bernie won a Golden Globe Award for the song “A Love That Will Never Grow Old” from the film “Brokeback Mountain.”

His current work will be on display at Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, an international fair presented

by Art Miami in West Palm Beach from January 12 to 16.

A special selection of his pieces will be available for sale at the Spotlight Luncheon, with a portion of proceeds to benefit the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County and the Perry J. Cohen Foundation.

When it opened in 2013, Mukul, which translates to “secret” in Mayan, heralded the first phase of the quarter billion–dollar, 1,670acre Guacalito de la Isla private resort community along Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast.

Now, on the heels of Guacalito’s latest expansion in 2016, the secret’s officially out: Mukul is one of the finest resorts in Latin America and a self-contained world of luxury excess.

Each of Mukul’s 37 thatched-roof villas is distinctly Nicaraguan, showcasing national identity through architecture and design.

Lake Petén Itzá, Guatemala

These days, director Francis Ford Coppola is equally famous for his films as he is for his esteemed luxury lodges in Belize. But one of his lesser-known projects finally is in the spotlight thanks to a major renovation in December 2015. Welcome to La Lancha, Coppola’s charming boutique property in the heart of Guatemala’s El Petén region, in close proximity to Tikal, the king of all Mayan ruins.

While archaeological endeavors anchor any trip to La Lancha, the refreshed lodge is an excuse to linger even longer along the wildlife-rich shores of Lake Petén Itzá.

Thanks to the renovation and expansion, lake-view rooms have doubled in size and new rainforest junior suites have been erected high in the hilltops. All units are adorned in bold tapestries, textiles, and masks that represent the vibrant colors and diversity of Guatemala’s indigenous people.

La Lancha’s surrounds are untamed and incredibly picturesque. Exotic birdlife and butterflies light the sky like fireworks. Charismatic, curious, and chatty howler monkeys roam the forest canopy, often joining in some hammock downtime. Along the lake’s edge, a slick new furnished deck provides a fantastic floating space to enjoy Petén Itzá’s mesmerizing panoramas over cocktails. Adventure

seekers can also choose to canoe Guatemala’s second largest lake with the hope of stumbling across some undiscovered Mayan artifacts. But La Lancha’s guarantee of Mayan majesty lies in scheduled explorations to the nearby ancient city of Tikal, a destination so grand and mysterious it exudes a palpable Indiana Jones air of excitement.

Weekender Stay in a suite, villa, or vacation home and gain access to Reunion’s three golf courses, on-site water park, and highend restaurants.

Easy, Breezy Orlando

COURTESY OF REUNION RESORT

The family-friendly Reunion Resort puts a luxe-meetscomfort spin on the Orlando experience

By MARY MURRAY

70 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

There are countless ways to approach an Orlando vacation. Regardless of what tops your itinerary—whether it’s quality time with Mickey Mouse, multiple rounds on challenging greens, or even an airboat ride through indigenous swamps—Reunion, A Salamander Golf & Spa Resort (reunionresort.com) has you covered.

Located in Kissimmee, Reunion provides easy access to theme parks but feels worlds away from that deafening hustle and bustle. At the end of a long day standing in line to ride this attraction or hug that character, nothing beats returning to your suite overlooking undulating golf dunes. If a suite doesn’t suit your needs, book a massive condo, villa, or vacation home. The largest rentals boast as many as 12 bedrooms, so there’s no need to trim the guest list.

But for those tired of the typical Orlando outings, Reunion captures a more natural, easygoing slice of Central Florida life. Test your endurance at the nearby Orlando Tree Trek Adventure Park (orlandotreetrek.com), where obstacle courses weave through native flora. Perfect your swing at three world-class golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson.

If traditional golf doesn’t pose a challenge, opt for Footgolf, a soccer-inspired spin on the game.

Explore the Florida Everglades Headwaters on an airboat tour with Marsh Landing Adventures (orlandoairboattours.com). Or, for a calmer ap-

proach to aquatic pursuits, relax at Reunion’s water park. No matter how you spend the day, end it with a sunset spin on the new Orlando Eye (officialorlandoeye.com), a 400-foot observation wheel that offers a panoramic view of downtown.

While most Orlando excursions are marked by fast food and soulless chains, Reunion takes dining seriously. Every suite has a full kitchen, but why cook when there are gourmet bites just an elevator ride or short drive away? In the main lobby, choose between Tuscan cuisine at Forte or out-of-this-world raw treats at the Grande Lobby and Sushi Bar. The Grand Reunion and Salamander rolls are must-orders.

When it comes to Reunion’s restaurants, though, Eleven tops them all, literally and figuratively. This indoor-outdoor rooftop eatery puts an unexpected twist on contemporary American eats, as seen in creations like filet mignon egg rolls and roasted garlic served with Cambozola cheese and a candied tomato chutney.

Following a decadent dessert (the peanut butter, chocolate, macadamia nut torte is worth every calorie), step outside to savor a Central Florida scene unlike any other. As the sunset gives way to the sparkling diamond sky, you’ll be perfectly placed to view the Walt Disney World fireworks in all their magical splendor. « Get to know the visionary behind Reunion Resort, businesswoman Sheila Johnson, on page 116.

The Return of the

Magnificent 7 Audi has redesigned its Q7 flagship SUV with cutting-edge technology and a world-class interior

By Howard Walker

I’m a sucker for sports cars. I love the cacophony of a throaty, highrevvin’ motor racing up to its red-line max. I adore carving mountain curves on the ragged edge—tires squealing, brakes smoking, blue lights flashing in the rearview mirror.

Well, maybe not that last part.

While I enjoy the occasional thrill ride, my daily reality is a little different. Life in the fast lane for me is bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-95.

It’s that stop-start crawling, and I’m going nowhere fast.

At least in this scenario I’m relaxing behind the wheel of the new Audi Q7. This luxury SUV essentially pilots itself, so I’m resting easy with one hand loosely brushing the wheel, feet off the pedals, mind at ease, chatting away with my passengers.

This dreamy scene comes courtesy of the appropriately named Traffic Jam Assist feature. With more sensors than a CIA listening post, 74

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

it keeps the Audi centered in its lane at a perfect, pre-set distance from the car in front and at the exact speed as the surrounding traffic.

If some distracted driver slams on his brakes and the world grinds to a halt, so will the Q7. When your fellow stop-starters finally move on, this Audi will automatically follow. Stress? What stress?

Of course, much of this tech is available on many of the Q7’s rivals, including Volvo’s benchmark XC90, Mercedes’ new GLS, and Acura’s MDX. But once you add all this technology to the Audi’s mile-long list of other can’t-live-without features, that’s when the Q7 really starts to shine.

When Audi launched the Q7 back in 2007, it was the luxury SUV of choice for anyone anti Range Rover. But after going 10 years without a makeover, it faded from public consciousness. A decade without a new look is an eternity for our love-of-the-latest society. Just ask Meg Ryan.

Now, the Q7 is back with a vengeance, boasting razor-edged styling

and a slimmer frame. Just how much banished bulk are we talking? A whopping 474 pounds, thanks to a diet of POWER FILE lightweight aluminum and high-strength steel.

GOAL Guide When players and spectators walk the red carpet for the 17-week high-goal season at Wellington’s International Polo Club Palm Beach, it will look and feel like old times. But behind the scenes, major changes are afoot.

Despite IPC’s April 2016 sale to Wellington Equestrian Partners—producers of the Winter Equestrian Festival and Adequan Global

White Birch versus Valiente

Dressage Festival—Mark Bellissimo, CEO and managing partner of WEP, has indicated that polo will stay in Wellington. The United States Polo Association has a contract to hold highgoal tournaments at IPC for two more seasons, through April 2018. Beyond that? Who knows.

But both the USPA and Bellissimo have said they plan to maintain a long-term relationship.

WEP is admittedly playing things close to the vest, but one thing is clear: Polo will share the spotlight at IPC past the 2017 season. Sometime after the horn sounds on the last chukker of the U.S. Open Polo Championship in late April, IPC will be transformed into a multiuse, equestrian-sports center that will “incorporate but not be focused entirely on polo,” says Darlene Ricker, who handles media relations and publications for IPC. What Will Stay the Same: IPC currently boasts eight fields, seven LILA PHOTO

WHETHER YOU’RE A POLO NOVICE OR A FIXTURE ON THE FIELDS, THESE NEED-TOKNOW DETAILS WILL KEEP YOU AHEAD OF THE CURVE

of which are used for polo play. Sunday feature matches and tournament finals will still be held on Field 1, in front of the existing stadium.

Fields 4 and 5, along with the Outback field, will continue to be used for polo. Two regulationsized fields adjacent to IPC and known as Isla Carroll—often used when changes are imposed due to ground conditions or conflicting schedules—will also be retained.

What Will Change: Plans are hard to come by, but WEP has stated that Field 2 (currently used on Sundays for public parking) and Field 3 will be the site of a new 3,000-seat stadium, situated between the sports complex. That will leave a total of five fields for polo play—not enough to accommodate the entire winter high-goal season. To that end, Bellissimo plans to rent several ancillary fields and make use of a partnership property located on South Road to construct three additional fields. Other plans include a new restaurant, spa, banquet area, clubhouse, and parking for more than 2,000 cars.

Melissa Ganzi: The co-owner (along with husband and 2-goaler Marc Ganzi) of the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Melissa Ganzi is also an A-goaler and captain of the FlexJet team. She won both the 2014 National 20 Goal and the Kay Colee Memorial Cup, and also helped set a world record for the most consecutive chukkers played—32—in a benefit for the Wounded Warriors Project.

Cristina Fernandez: A-rated Cristina Fernandez recently spent two weeks playing in India as part of Team USPA’s first international women’s team. She plays the second or third spot in women’s polo, and the first on coed teams.

Annabelle Gundlach: Look for A-rated Gundlach to take the pitch for the first time in the 20-goal season at IPC as patroness for Postage Stamp Farm. Despite first picking up a mallet in 2013, she’s quickly risen in the ranks thanks to help from teacher Brandon Phillips.

Gillian Johnston: Two-goaler Gillian Johnston (pictured below) is the patron and captain of the Coca-Cola polo team, winning the U.S. Open Polo Championship in 2003. She was named MVP of the 2016 USPA Gold Cup Quarterfinal match, in which Coca-Cola defeated Lucchese 11 to 8. «

Roach: What’s left of a polo pony’s mane after a close shave by a groom, done in order to keep the mallet or reins from getting snagged. Tails are braided and tied for similar reasons.

Outhorsed: When one team’s polo ponies outperform the ponies from the opposing team.

Say: “That #3 really played her heart out. But when you’re outhorsed, you’re outhorsed.”

n a 2011 ad campaign for Ralph Lauren Romance, Argentine polo player Nacho Figueras and his wife, Delfina Blaquier, steal a kiss while horseback riding through a field of tall grasses. In another, equally dreamy image (shot by none less than Bruce Weber), they sit on the ledge of an open window, arms draped on each other and gazing into the idyllic void.

Yes, the series of photographs was designed to depict the passion between two people and, therefore, promote a romantic fragrance. But in the case of Nacho and Delfi, the images weren’t acted or conceptualized— they were an authentic representation of their

relationship, every day and in every way.

For Nacho, 39, an iconic polo player and a spokesmodel for Ralph Lauren, two things matter above all: polo and family. His passions and accomplishments have blossomed because of the woman he calls “an amazing mother and a great friend.”

“Most of what we have achieved, we have achieved together,” he says. “The roots are so deep. That’s what has allowed us to be so happy for so long.”

A photographer who chronicles her family’s nomadic life following the polo ball around the globe, 36-year-old Delfi knew Nacho was her soulmate when they met in

1998. At the time, their common bond was horses: He was a young polo player; she had grown up in an equestrian dynasty and learned to ride as a girl at her family’s estancia outside Buenos Aires.

Today, horses figure just as prominently in their lives. Their four children—Hilario, 17; Aurora, 12; Artemio, 7; and Alba, 4— all ride or play polo. Delfi photographs horses, portraying their beauty in abstract forms. The Figueras farm in Buenos Aires houses Nacho and Hilario’s pony strings and a breeding operation.

It’s more than a passion, Delfi says. “It’s in our DNA.” In the following pages, polo’s most famous couple talk candidly about their lifestyle, giving back, and the true meaning of beauty.

PBI: You’re one of polo’s most recognizable ambassadors. What does the sport mean to you?

NF: Polo is my life. It’s my family’s life, too. We’re kind of like these gypsies going around the world playing polo. We follow the sun, so a third of our year happens here in Palm Beach. You wake up, you go to the stables, you practice. The kids ride horses and play. The wives go to the games and ride with us. It’s a lifestyle that takes over your life.

I love that you share that lifestyle with others on social media.

DB: I started the #wearefigueras hashtag on Instagram two years ago, and my friends wanted to use it for inspiration on what to do and where to go with kids.

What you see on Instagram is more than a pretty picture. It reflects the way we live.

It’s a beautiful lifestyle in an imperfect way.

You’ve become famous as a Ralph Lauren spokesmodel. How do you balance that with your work on the polo field?

NF: I don’t think that I’m a model. I’m a professional polo player who has been the 100 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

“

If you keep laughing the way you did when you were 20, that will make you eternal. face of a brand for 16 years. But I’m very passionate about bringing the awareness of polo to a different level, and obviously the Ralph connection has given me a lot of tools. Being interviewed and having my photograph in so many magazines or airports around the world gives me a lot of recognition. I take it as a big responsibility to use that recognition to promote the sport that has given me so much.

You also raise awareness through philanthropy, most notably as an ambassador for Prince Harry’s Sentebale. Talk a little about your relationship with Harry and the charity.

NF: I first met Harry in 2006, at a polo match in England, and since then I’ve been playing polo with him every year. As an ambassador for Sentebale since it started, I’ve been to Lesotho two times with [Harry] and seen firsthand the things this charity is doing for kids who need a better platform in life.

Harry is someone I admire and respect very much.

He’s very committed to what he does. He’s full hands-on: the first to wake up, the first to raise the bar, the first to say, “Something’s wrong with that.

Let’s fix it.” His commitment inspires me to get involved. I try to put my little grain of sand to help him.

You’ve both been making strides to bring polo to the masses. Why is that important to you?

DB: Nacho will be very happy when kids go to a polo game instead of a baseball game. He created that amazing Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in New

102 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

York and L.A. and will bring it to other cities. We try to bring polo to the people. Eventually, it will bring density to the game.

How does your breeding operation complement your love of horses?

DB: We’ve been breeding a little over 10 years.

We got genetics from the best players and started creating our own curation of bloodlines. We handpicked every single combination of mares with stallions and then came out with all these quality ponies. We wanted to do an homage, so we created these stables where we can showcase our precious bloodlines we have collected all these years. Sometimes we sell, but we are quite small to be selling a lot of ponies. We wouldn’t have enough to mount ourselves.

You are considered one of the most beautiful couples on the planet. What is beauty to you?

DB: For me, beauty is not something you can see; it’s something you can feel. What captures someone else’s eye is your confidence, your self-appreciation, how you care about people. Your skin will get wrinkled, you will get spots or scars, but if you keep laughing the way you did when you were 20, that will make you eternal.

NF: The outside beauty rubs off very quickly.

Eventually my hair will grow gray and I will have more wrinkles. But what never goes is what you have inside. «

Felipe Viana has played polo in Uruguay, Argentina, and the United States.

He achieved a career high in 2015, when he was named captain of the USPA World Cup team.

GREAT POLO PLAYERS DON’T HAVE TO BE BORN INTO THE SPORT, BUT THE BEST ARE CERTAINLY RAISED WITHIN IT. TEAM USPA, A MENTORING PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY THE UNITED STATES POLO ASSOCIATION, ENCOURAGES YOUNG PLAYERS TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL ON AND OFF THE FIELD. FORMED IN 2010, TEAM USPA PROVIDES THE RISING STARS OF POLO WITH THE SKILLS AND GUIDANCE NEEDED TO BE THE CLUB MANAGERS, TRAINERS, AND TEAM SPONSORS OF THE FUTURE. THE FOLLOWING FIVE MEN HAVE TAKEN FULL ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM IN AN EFFORT TO BECOME TOMORROW’S TOP PLAYERS.

BY TERRY DUFFY | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID LOMINSKA AND UNITED STATES POLO ASSOCIATION 104 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

FELIPE VIANA

AGE: 26 | CURRENT HANDICAP: 5 | JOINED TEAM USPA: 2011

For polo fans, a day at the field is filled with the sound of clacking mallets and pounding hoofbeats. Skilled players and lightning-quick ponies make the game seem effortless. Felipe Viana describes this misperception as “colora di rosa,” for he knows how much work goes into preparing for every sevenminute chukker.

Though born in New York City, Viana was raised in Uruguay, playing club polo there as well as in Argentina. “There were no sponsors, just families who supplied horses and made it easy to play,” he says. A lifelong rider and athlete, he made the leap to professional play while attending the University of Virginia.

Through Team USPA, Viana was introduced to the White Birch polo team and Argentine legend Mariano Aguerre. “Mariano reads the game like no one else,” Viana says. Both Aguerre and Viana played for White Burch during the 2012 season, when his team dominated the Greenwich and Hamptons polo scenes. The pair continued their streak into Palm Beach, taking the 2013 Joe

Barry Cup with the Crab Orchard polo team.

Most recently, Viana played with polo superstar Adolfo Cambiaso on Bob Jornayvaz’s Valiente team in Palm Beach. “A 10-goaler inside and outside the boards, Cambiaso is the most giving teammate,” Viana says. “He makes you play 1 or 2 goals higher.”

Viana, who is in the running to be on the 2017 World Cup team, credits USPA for providing young players with the structure and connections needed to succeed in the world of polo. “Polo is a huge commitment that requires sacrifices,” says Viana. With a win at the World Cup, his years of personal commitment could certainly pay off.

PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2017 105

COSTI CASET

AGE: 23 | CURRENT HANDICAP: 4 | JOINED TEAM USPA: 2015

As a member of the Restoration Hardware polo team, Caset was named MVP at the 2016 Gulfstream Pacific Coast Open.

106 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The connections Team USPA players develop can make a big difference to their future success. Costi Caset credits his friend Geronimo Obregon for sparking his interest in the Team USPA program. “They help get your name out there so the teams recognize that you are ready to play,” says Caset.

The rising 4-goaler is clearly “ready to play” and made that known when he nabbed the Most Valuable Player award at the finals of the 2016 Gulfstream Pacific Coast Open. Caset delivered a stand-out performance with the Restoration Hardware team, playing alongside Jason Crowder (6), Santi von Wernich (6), and patron Ben Solemani. “Costi is a fierce competitor who always puts the team first,” says Crowder.

Winning the Pacific Coast Open was a homecoming of sorts for this California native. Caset was born in Carpinteria, and his father, Marcelo Caset, was a top professional who played at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. After his family relocated to Argentina, Caset developed his skills through games and tournaments arranged by polo families. “I think I was 11 or 12 when I won my first 14-goal tournament with my father and brother,” Caset says. “I had a zero handicap then.”

At age 16, Caset worked with Tommy Lee Jones’ San Saba organization prepping horses for tournament play. Today, Caset has seven horses of his own in the States. He looks for “made” ponies that are trained and ready to play. His horse Poncho was awarded Best Playing Pony in the 2016 Gulfstream Pacific Coast Open final. This season, Caset will play at the International Polo Club with Jeff Hildebrand’s Tonkawa polo team.

A California-raised Kiwi, Bray is one of polo’s most talked about young players, having racked up a string of accolades, including the USPA’s prestigious Equus & Co. Award.

JESSE BRAY

AGE: 24 | CURRENT HANDICAP: 5 | JOINED TEAM USPA: 2011

Jesse Bray exudes confidence, and upon first introduction, it’s immediately clear he is perfectly comfortable with his role as a polo ambassador.

The New Zealand– born Bray (check the kiwi on his helmet) grew up traveling between his native land and California’s desert polo clubs. His father, former 7-goaler Graham Bray, was a fixture on the West Coast polo circuit.

Bray the younger honed his polo skills on the same fields where his father played with medium- and high-goal teams.

At age 16, the second-generation polo pro carried a 2-goal handicap and landed his first paid assignment. When high-school friends were thinking about second-hand cars, Bray was buying his first horses and concentrating on a future in polo.

In addition to his father, Bray credits West Coast polo veterans Kimo Huddleston and Santiago Trotz as early influences. “Santi taught me to think through the play, to anticipate how it would go,” says Bray.

With a physical style on the field and noted strength, Bray carries himself like a linebacker and is able to land goals from the mid-field mark. That first impression, however, belies his on-field dexterity and considerable skill to score at high speeds. Bray played with the Palm Beach Illustrated polo team in Wellington last season and was instrumental in PBI’s trophy victory in the 2016 Joe Barry Cup. Bray will play in Florida this winter season and is being considered for a spot on the USPA team for the 14-goal World Cup in April. If chosen, it will be his second time in the international competition and a chance to avenge the team’s loss in the 2015 final to Chile.

Despite that defeat, Bray has maintained his signature swagger.

When asked to name the best player at his handicap level, he replies, “Jesse Bray. Am I allowed to say that?”

After turning pro at age 15, Finlayson went on to win two USPA President’s Cup tournaments, in 2013 and 2014.

WESLEY FINLAYSON AGE: 21 | CURRENT HANDICAP: 3 | JOINED TEAM USPA: 2016

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, and now living full-time in Wellington, Wesley “Wes” Finlayson had his first polo lesson at age 11. His teacher? None other than veteran player and U.S. Open winner Martin Estrada. With fields to practice on and plenty of competition in and around Wellington, Finlayson quickly developed the skills required to begin playing professionally when he was just 15 years old.

Polo pros such as Kris Kampsen (6) have taken notice of Finlayson’s drive and determination. “I really love having Wes around my organization for his work ethic and attitude,” says Kampsen. “He has the ability to read plays, which makes hitting and dribbling effortless.”

In addition to Estrada and Kampsen, Finlayson also played with the late Carlos Gracida, whom he credits with fueling his own aspirations.

108 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

“His game sense and patience were amazing,” Finlayson says.

Gracida was a legendary horseman, and Finlayson is developing a string of his own. Among the 12 ponies in his barn, Sabona is a current favorite. “Getting to 4 and then 5 goals is all about the right horses,” he says.

Beyond having a versatile roster of horses, Finlayson also credits his success to his experience with Team USPA and having the ability to foster relationships with team owners. Networking is critical for young players who may live in Florida but want to play in other polo destinations such as Kentucky or Houston.

And while the competition among young players is fierce, Finlayson believes that being a gentleman on and off the field is key to growth. He keeps a low profile and advises others to “bring no drama.”

GERONIMO OBREGON AGE: 21 | CURRENT HANDICAP: 4 | JOINED TEAM USPA: 2016

Horsemanship and polo serve as second languages in Geronimo Obregon’s family. “I was riding before I could talk and have been around polo for as long as I can remember,” says Obregon, who is the youngest of four brothers, all of whom have polo handicaps ranging from 4 to 7. He has, on occasion, played alongside his brothers, most recently at the USPA Copper Cup in Aiken, South Carolina, where he was on the Skaneateles team with his brother Mariano (7).

Obregon played his first professional game in 2008, when he was only 12 years old. That same year, he won his first tournament, the USPA President’s Cup, with Villa del Lago. “On the team was my friend Jared (Zenni), Mariano, my cousin Augustin Obregon, and me,” he says.

Today, Obregon is a sought-after player who credits Team USPA for providing him with valuable support from veteran players like former 10-goaler Adam Snow. Team USPA was also instrumental in matching Obregon with Mazusa, one of his current polo ponies.

Given his own familial ties to the sport, it’s no surprise that Obregon views the Novillo Astrada brothers as huge influences. “The Novillos play disciplined polo, always taking the man first and then going to the ball,” he says. “Miguel (Novillo Astrada) waits for the play [as if] he is above the game watching for the play to happen.”

Obregon offers similar advice to fans: Follow the horses in addition to the players. “Fans should watch the game away from the ball to see how the other players are setting up for the next play,” he says. Good advice from a young player who always has his eye on what’s to come. «

In 2016, while playing for team PBI, Obregon scored the winning goal in the $50,000 National 12-Goal Tournament.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates

A metropolis in the Arabian Desert, Dubai dazzles with design-driven

skyscrapers as far as the eye can see. While the city maintains a Middle Eastern sociocultural identity, it also pulses with Western influence apparent in its 600 hotels, dozens of shopping malls, a bustling financial district, and an expat-rich community. Led by the ethos of “bigger, newer, better,” Dubai has generated a thriving economy and an electrifying allure that drive today’s Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club 110 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

JOSÉ IGNACIO, Uruguay

Often referenced as South America’s equivalent to the Hamptons, Uru-

guay’s Punta del Este sizzles in the summer as the place to be for Latin America’s growing bourgeoisie. Occupying its own petite peninsula, the artsy beachfront hamlet of José Ignacio attracts the elite of the Americas, seeking to balance R&R and outdoor enthusiasm with a busy social calendar.

Play: José Ignacio is home to billionaire Alexander Vik’s small portfolio of uber-luxury boutique properties, such as Estancia Vik José Ignacio (estancia vikjoseignacio.com), a 4,000-acre destination retreat where Criollo horses roam.

Renaissance

Woman

SHEILA JOHNSON’S BUSINESS EMPIRE REFLECTS HER PERSONAL PASSIONS AND ENTERPRISING ESSENCE

The term “Renaissance man” is reserved for individuals with varied interests and manifold talents. Thomas Jefferson, one of history’s most famous Renaissance men, was a noted scholar, architect, linguist, and musician. Today, another Virginian, businesswoman Sheila Johnson, has successfully redefined the moniker for the new millennium—and for the modern woman.

Johnson is a self-made tycoon. Although best known as the cofounder of Black Entertainment Television, her endeavors range from entertainment to equestrianism, hospitality to sports, philanthropy to films. The mother of show jumper Paige Johnson, she’s long been a fixture in Wellington, where she’s advocated for the area’s development. Most recently, she’s staked her claim in hotels as the CEO of Salamander Hotels and Resorts. Did we mention she’s a trained violinist, too?

“I think [my work] fills the compartments of everything I’ve always wanted to do in my life,” Johnson says. “I don’t want to just be a hotel owner; I want people to look at me as a powerful woman who has the resilience and fortitude to make an impact on my community and society.”

Johnson, who turns 68 this month, has spent her life defying discrimination and working toward a fulfilling professional endgame. She describes her upbringing as unusual, marked by frequent moves to accommodate her father’s career as a neurosurgeon. “We moved every 10 months because it was during the time of segregation and my father couldn’t practice in white hospitals,” she says. “Many children who move around that much probably don’t feel secure, but for some reason I was okay with it. … [It] helped me become very comfortable with everyone—with all cultures, will all races—and it built a level of resiliency.”

No matter her address, Johnson found ways to express her energetic nature and innate business acumen. “My mother always thought I had an entrepreneurial spirit because I used to make these potholders and sell them door to door so that I could make some candy money,” she recalls.

When her family settled in the suburbs of Chicago, Johnson turned her attention to another passion: music. Her parents played the piano, but she chose the violin. She earned a music degree from the University of Illinois and became a concert violinist and instructor.

Beyond artistic fulfillment, Johnson credits music with shaping her approach to business.

“There’s so much you learn by playing with an orchestra,” she says. “You’re listening to people. You’re watching people. More than anything, music and the arts teach you how to be focused, organized, and disciplined.”

Johnson parlayed this prowess into her first major corporate endeavor. In 1979, when cable television was in its infancy, she launched BET alongside her then-husband, Robert Johnson. “That was the time when all of cable was being born, from CNN to Nickelodeon,” she says. “We felt it was a rare and real opportunity to start a network that focused on African Americans and their experiences.”

The early vision for BET revolved around programming that addressed concerns within the African-American community. Johnson produced Teen Summit, a news magazine– style show featuring black students discussing issues they faced daily. Viewers, however, did not respond to this approach. Johnson’s 118 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

thought-provoking content was canceled as the channel deviated from its original purpose.

In 2001, the Johnsons sold BET to Viacom in a deal reportedly worth nearly $3 billion.

This sale, as well as her divorce, jumpstarted the next phase in Johnson’s career. Armed with enough capital and personal freedom to pursue anything, she set her sights on hospitality, having fallen in love with a verdant, 340acre farm outside of Middleburg, Virginia.

“As soon as I saw this property, the lightbulb went off [and] I knew exactly what I wanted to do,” she says. “I bought it with the idea to build a resort.”

But where Johnson expected the community to welcome her, she instead was met with red tape and pushback. “There was a lot of bitterness within the community; they didn’t want anything built up there,” she says. “But I knew I had a bigger vision [and] that the town needed economic help.”

Johnson purchased the property in 2002 and opened her resort in August 2013. She named it Salamander because, as she explains, “it’s the only animal that can walk through fire and still come out alive.”

Fresh off her own personal and professional rebirth, Johnson created a sanctuary for her guests to do the same. Nestled in the shadows of the Bull Run Mountains, the Salamander Resort & Spa is an idyllic respite from contemporary life. Designed to look more like a home than an imposing hotel, Salamander provides a warm environment for guests to detach from demands and reset their health. “[I wanted] to help people reconnect, not

The equestrian lifestyle is a core component to Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Virginia, which dedicates 25 acres to horses and equine pursuits.

Johnson’s endeavors have led to appearances on the Golf Channel and events with golf stars like Jordan Spieth and notable businessmen such as Richard Branson.

only with themselves but with others,” Johnson says. “I wanted to be able to connect health and wellness, and for guests to really appreciate nature, take care of themselves, de-stress, and talk about nutritional eating.”

In addition to a spa and cooking studio, Salamander also houses expansive equestrian facilities, including a 14,000-square-foot stable and nine paddocks. “So many people complain that they come into a horsey town like Middleburg and never see horses because they can’t get onto the farms,” Johnson notes. “I wanted to have horses in full view, [and for] our customers to experience rubbing their noses and going horseback riding through our trails.” Salamander takes it a step further with Equi-Spective, a program that asks guests to get to know themselves by examining their demeanor around a horse. Think of it as an equineassisted therapy session.

Johnson’s own equestrian interests precede Salamander and have roots in Florida. Spurred by her daughter’s love of the sport, Johnson began visiting Wellington when Paige was 5 years old.

She’s now 31 and a top-ranked show jumper. “I’m definitely a horse-show mom,” says Johnson, who admits she stands up and kicks her leg back when Paige approaches a jump. “I really get a thrill out of watching her.”

Wellington has changed drastically since Johnson purchased 15 acres in Grand Prix Village and built her barn, today known as Salamander South.

“Wellington back then didn’t look like it does now,” she says. “I think the equestrian community 120 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

has really spearheaded the development that has gone on there. We’ve become the economic engine of Wellington.”

A longtime supporter of the Winter Equestrian Festival, Johnson credits Wellington Equestrian Partners CEO Mark Bellissimo with the town’s growth and evolving clout. Bellissimo, too, praises Johnson for bringing credibility to his endeavors.

“Some of the old guard weren’t necessarily too supportive of what we were doing, and she always was,” he says.

Now, Johnson’s working with Bellissimo to establish a resort at his Tryon International Equestrian Center in North Carolina, which will host the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games. Bellissimo, who has known Johnson for more than 10 years, looks forward to turning a friendship into a successful business relationship.

“To go into a partnership with someone like Sheila is easy because she’s never going to give up and she’s going to pursue the vision,” he says.

“When you’re going side by side with someone like that, you know she’ll bring a very principled commitment to a positive outcome. Those are traits that are hard to come by these days.”

The resort at Tryon will become one of many new additions to Johnson’s growing Salamander portfolio, which includes Innisbrook in Tampa Bay, Reunion in Kissimmee, Hammock Beach in Palm Coast, The Henderson Beach Resort in Destin, and the forthcoming Nopsi Hotel in New Orleans. Each location strives for the same level of “luxurious comfortability” that permeates Salamander Resort. “I want families to feel good about being there,” she says. “I want people of all cultures and races to feel completely welcomed.”

In her treasured downtime, Johnson cultivates hobbies—but, in true Sheila fashion, she takes them to another level. She’s a sports fan, with ownership in the WNBA’s Washington Mystics, the NBA’s Washington Wizards, and the NHL’s Washington Capitals. She’s a movie buff, having produced numerous films including The Butler and started the Middleburg Film Festival. She’s a budding golfer, who serves on the executive committee of the United States Golf Association. Finally, she’s a dedicated philanthropist, who fosters the next generation of leaders through her fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership.

“

I want families to feel good about being there. I want people of all cultures and races to feel completely welcomed .”

Johnson has been visiting Wellington for decades and is a longtime supporter of the town’s horse community. That same equine enthusiasm is palpable at Salamander Resort.

But for all her passions—and compassion— Johnson is first and foremost a dogged businesswoman. Despite her self-made status, she stresses the importance of collaboration and respect among colleagues. This, she notes, is especially vital for young women.

“Sit back and analyze your partners and the people you surround yourself with,” she says. “Make sure they respect you, and it’s the way you handle it. You don’t have to be a contrarian. You don’t have to force yourself on these guys or anything.

They have to learn to respect you, and those who don’t want to respect you, they need to go.” And then, with a grit that reflects her desire to see more women follow in her footsteps, she adds: “That’s what’s important. And don’t back off.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2017

MAKING WAVES Regardless of your destination, these six cruisers will have you navigating the Intracoastal in style

By Howard Walker

POWER FILE LEnGTH: 29 feet Beam: 9 feet Draft: 1.75 feet Displacement: 8,200 pounds Power: 370-hp Volvo turbodiesel with Hamilton HJ292 Jetdrive Top speed: 39 mph Price: From $383,000

THE HEAD-TURNER: HINCKLEY T29R If Bentley designed a boat, it would probably look remarkably like Hinckley’s T29R. Just check out the attention to detail, from the seductive lines to the hand-stitched upholstery, not to mention the varnished timber so glossy you can see your reflection. And don’t fret: There’s plenty of technology to complement this Old World artistry.

Hinckley started building sailboats out of salty Southwest Harbor, Maine, back in 1928. When it made the switch to power in 1989, its waterjet-propelled Talaria series became an instant hit.

Today, the Talaria range runs from 29 to 55 feet. The smallest—but arguably the most gorgeous—is the curvaceous T29R. With a cockpit

122 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

big enough to accommodate 10, it’s an ideal picnic cruiser for a trip up or down the Intracoastal for lunch. There’s even a twin-berth cabin for weekend stays.

Power comes from a silky-smooth, 370-hp Volvo turbodiesel hooked up to a Hamilton jet drive that reduces the boat’s depth to a Floridafriendly 1.75 feet. While the T29R is built for comfort, not speed, it still maxes out at around 40 mph. And when you reach your final destination, dock using T29R’s efficient JetStick control. Just engage and the computers will decide how much bow and jet thrust are needed to move the boat sideways. Call it brains with beauty. (hinckleyyachts.com)

POWER FILE LENGTH: 30 feet Beam: 9 feet Draft: 2.5 feet Displacement: 9,000 pounds Power: Twin 260-hp Yanmar turbodiesel with V-drives Top speed: 41 mph Price: From $395,000

KING OF COOL: VANDUTCH 30 Founded in 2008, Holland-based VanDutch still offers the best-selling VD40 and VD55, but the versatile VanDutch 30 Dayboat tops them all. It’s the perfect size for exploring South Florida or zipping down to the Keys. It’s especially friendly—and influential—in South Florida waters because every new VanDutch comes with a complimentary membership to one of Miami’s newest hot spots, the rooftop VanDutch Lounge at the River Yacht Club.

With a choice of twin Yanmar 260-hp turbo diesels or twin 370-hp MerCruiser gas motors, drivers can skim the waves at an easy 41 mph.

Inside, there’s L-shaped seating for alfresco dining plus a sun lounger for three at the stern. And with styling by the legendary Dutch boat designer Frank Mulder, the VanDutch 30 demands as much attention as a lime green Lamborghini cruising Worth Avenue. (vandutch.com)

THE CAT’S MEOW: WORLD CAT 295DC To misquote a popular phrase, when the going gets tough, a cat gets going. That’s certainly the case with the latest 29-foot 295DC dualconsole catamaran from North Carolina–based World Cat. Its two slender hulls deliver a boatload of stability and a calm, bonedry ride. Its 9.5-foot beam is carried all the way forward, allowing for ample room in the bow area for at least six adults.

World Cat offers the 295 either as a center or dual console, but going

with the dual is a no-brainer as it allows space for up to 12 guests and the added protection of a full-width windshield. It also means the priceless addition of a full-standing-headroom toilet in the portside hull.

The base engine package includes a pair of effective Yamaha 300hp, four-stroke outboards that can punch the 295DC to a top speed of 55 mph, making it the go-to vessel for a quick jaunt down to Miami. (worldcat.com)

POWER FILE LEnGTH: 29 feet Beam: 9.5 feet Draft: 1.25 feet Displacement: 8,400 pounds Power: Twin 300hp Yamaha four-stroke outboards Top speed: 55 mph Price: From $214,000

THE CLASSIC: CHRIS-CRAFT CATALINA 26 If you’re looking for a boat that delivers the perfect combination of fish-fighter by day and family dinner cruiser by night, the gorgeous Catalina 26 center console is tough to beat.

Maybe it’s the salty teak accents around the bow. Or the shiny, stainless steel rub rail and fittings. Or the elegant, navy blue piping and white, quilted upholstery. Whatever the reason, nothing oozes style quite like a Chris-Craft Catalina.

Built in Florida, the Catalina 26 has been around since the mid-

124 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

2000s, but its timeless design still spins heads. Few boats can match its state-of-the-art construction, which delivers a toughas-nails hull intended to slice through anything the Atlantic can throw at it.

Pick from a single, economical 350-hp Mercury Verado outboard or a twin 200-hp Verado. Both deliver quiet, relaxed cruising and a top speed approaching 50 mph. Either way you go, this is one stylish, center-console cruiser. (chriscraft.com)

REEL IT IN: BOSTON WHALER 280 OUTRAGE If you love boating, chances are you’re also handy with a rod and reel. If you’re in the market for a lean, mean fishing machine, look no further than Boston Whaler’s new 280 Outrage.

The 280 Outrage is built to fish, outfitted with 20 rod holders, three massive fish boxes, and optional 20- and 30-gallon livewells. It’s also a great party boat, with bow seating for four, a wide sun pad, and rear seating.

Featuring the company’s trademark unsinkable construction, this Outrage 28-footer comes with a wide beam measuring more than 9 feet and a wave-piercing, deep-V hull designed for comfort and stability when the water gets choppy.

Standard power is a pair of super-smooth, 225-hp Mercury Verado outboards. But for quick, 55-mph blasts down to Bimini, opt for the twin 300-hp Verado setup.

Mercury’s Joystick Piloting system lets the engines work independently of each other, so docking is a breeze. (bostonwhaler.com)

POWER FILE LEnGTH: 28 feet Beam: 9.3 feet Draft: 1.8 feet Displacement: 6,200 pounds Power: Twin 225hp Mercury Verado (base) Top speed: 49 mph Price: From $177,000

RETRO RACER: DONZI 22 CLASSIC Break out your coolest white linen blazer, roll up those sleeves, and lose the socks—it’s time to take out the Donzi.

Legendary racer Don Aronow founded Donzi Marine in Miami in 1964, and everything about the pocket-rocket Donzi 22 Classic screams Miami Vice. It’s like a Ferrari for the water, with a V hull and a low-cut, three-part, tinted windshield.

A huge, 8.2-liter MerCruiser V-8 cranking out 430 hp sits under the back deck. Hooked up to a Bravo outdrive, it will reach 80 mph on the speedo with the throttle wide open. Order one with Fly Yellow paint and retro, white vinyl upholstery to make an eye-catching statement. (donzimarine.com)

Benazzouz’s bustling, year-old French brasserie takes diners on an epicurean journey with authentic delights like mussels marinière, served in a white wine, onion, and garlic broth so decadent you’ll tip the bowl for the last drop.

Learn to make fresh juice. It’s a great introduction, and how hard is it to juice your own vegetables?

We feature the best products from Christopher’s Kitchen as well as things like glutenfree baked goods, smoothies, acai bowls, live pizzas, and a plant-based frozen yogurt that’s amazing. If you look at some of the other juice companies, it’s kind of cliché that they’re all doing juice and trying to do food. We’ve been doing this a lot longer than most.

& CLUB BOCA RATON RESORT

Bubble Session

In November, Paso Robles wine pioneer Justin Baldwin kicked off the Corks & Conversations dinner series at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. In between sips of elegant, Bordeaux-style blends such as Justin Winery’s 2010 Isosceles Reserve, Baldwin regaled guests with anecdotes from his 35-year career.

Designed to give diners the chance to interact with some of the world’s top winemakers in a relaxed setting, Corks & Conversations events typically take place at 501 East Kitchen & Bar, the Boca Raton Resort’s classic American restaurant overlooking the golf course. To encourage dialogue and questions, guests are seated at long tables in close proximity to the vintners. The food, however, is anything but casual: The Justin dinner included a selection of Florida shellfish, a combination of prime New York strip and red wine–braised beef cheeks, and a variation on chicken and waffles that substituted quail and pork belly for the poultry.

The series continues through April, with events open to club members and resort guests. This month’s highlights include Paso’s Daou Vineyards (January

The resort is offering a special Corks & Conversations package (starting at $482, double occupancy) that includes accommodations, the wine dinner of your choice for two, daily breakfast in Palm Court, and a gourmet welcome amenity.

COCKTAIL CORNER Old Fashioned:

Prohibition & Classic styles The more classic a cocktail, the harder it is to pinpoint its origins. However, that’s not the case for the Old Fashioned, which made its formal debut at Louisville’s Pendennis Club in the late 1880s. It started out simple enough: a sugar cube, bourbon, ice, and a few dashes of bitters. During Prohibition, it morphed into the muddledfruit cocktail served in most bars today.

32 East in Delray Beach decided to buck the trend and serve both versions.

“When it comes to drinks, there’s no right way or wrong way,” says bar manager John Fitzpatrick. His opinion is paying off: Both drinks are enormously popular, but the Classic outsells the Prohibition version by two to one on a busy weekend evening. (561-276-7868, 32east.com)

Old Fashioned Classic 1 large sugar cube Angostura bitters 2 oz. Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon Orange zest for garnish In a mixing glass, coat sugar cube with bitters until emulsified. Add bourbon then fill glass 2/3 with ice and stir for 20 to 30 seconds. Strain into a highball glass over an oversized ice cube. Rim glass with orange zest and garnish drink.

Old Fashioned Prohibition 1 orange slice 2 tsp. sweet corn–infused water 2 oz. Smooth Ambler Old Scout Bourbon Orange and mole bitters French, brandied cherry juice 3 Luxardo maraschino cherries for garnish In a highball glass, muddle orange slice with sweet corn–infused water. Add bourbon, ice, two drops each of bitters, and a dash of French, brandied cherry juice. Turn drink up and down in the glass, then add ice and a splash of soda.

Garnish with a spear of cherries. —M.S.

At 32 East, diners can sample the Classic (above) and Prohibition (left) versions of the Old Fashioned.

AFTER YOUR DAY, IT’S GAME ON AT

IN SEASON: SORREL The ancient Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians used sorrel, known for its citrusy tartness, to tenderize meat and aid digestion. Today, the hearty perennial, which comes in many varieties, is a fixture of French cooking, often flavoring fish dishes and classic fare.

At 50 Ocean in Delray Beach, chef Joe Bonavita Jr. uses aeroponic tower gardens to grow red-veined sorrel. For home cooks, he suggests planting sorrel seeds in a pot, keeping them indoors in indirect sunlight, and lightly watering every morning. Once they’ve sprouted, move them outside to a shaded area. Sorrel grows quickly and can be harvested within a few weeks. Chef Bonavita highlights his sorrel harvest in a grilled prawn dish. (561-278-3364, 50ocean.com) —K.S.

GRILLED LOCAL PRAWNS (serves 2) 8 jumbo prawns, peeled and deveined Salt to taste 1 tsp. olive oil 2 oz. heirloom cherry tomatoes, blistered 3 oz. pistachios, shelled and roasted 2 egg yolks 5 oz. water

3 g. soy lecithin 7 oz. pistachio oil 2 oz. fresh hearts of palm 1 oz. thinly sliced celery 1 oz. thinly sliced shallots 3 oz. red-veined sorrel 1/2 oz. fresh parsley

1 lemon

Season prawns with salt and grill for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and set aside. In a smoking-hot sauté pan, add olive oil and tomatoes and cook until skins pop. To make the pistachio aioli, add pistachios, egg yolks, water, and soy lecithin into a blender. Blend on low, and add pistachio oil until puree is smooth. For salad, cut hearts of palm in half and grill until golden brown. Chill, then slice thin. In a mixing bowl, add celery, shallots, hearts of palm, sorrel, and parsley.

Halve the lemon and squeeze juice into bowl. Salt to taste. When ready to serve, add half of pistachio aioli to center of plate. Add prawns, tomatoes, and scatter hearts of palm salad around the plate. Drizzle pistachio aioli over shrimp and salad. Garnish with sorrel.

Beyond Marsala

Surf the new wave of wines from Sicily

TOMMASO SACCAROLA

Tasca D’Almerita operates a boutique hotel on its Capafaro estate.

142 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The distance from Tuscany to Sicily is less than 500 air miles, but the culture gap between the two regions is enormous. If you’re tempted to minimize that chasm, look at the differences in wine grape varieties. Sicily’s major white grapes are Grecanico, Inzolia, and Catarratto, with Nero d’Avola and Frappato dominating for reds. You might be a fan of vanilla and chocolate, but Sicily is way beyond Cherry Garcia.

Historically, the area is best known for Marsala, a fortified wine produced in and around the town of the same name.

Another popular dessert wine, Passito di Pantelleria, is made from dried Moscato grapes grown on a satellite island off Sicily’s northern coast. Recently, however, a new wave of fine wine producers is popping up in Sicily, thanks to an influx of outside capital and winemaking talent—similar to what occurred in

Tuscany in the 1980s. Following are some of the best new Sicilian winemakers.

PLANETA. More than any other estate, Planeta (planeta.it/en) established the reputation of Sicilian wine in the modern era. The property views wine as part of a broader cultural context that includes art, food, travel, and regional identity. Its website proclaims: “If a winemaker does not go home and read a book after finishing his work, he cannot make good wine.” Try dishing out that kind of advice in California. The portfolio begins with the La Segreta Bianco and Rosso blends (around $13), and includes mainstream varieties such as Chardonnay, Merlot, and Syrah, as well as regional grapes like Frappato and Carricante ($30-$40).

TASCA D’ALMERITA. Ironically, one of Sicily’s most modern wineries is also one of its oldest. Founded in 1830, Tas-

Pithos ($35), fermented in large clay amphorae that are then buried in the ground for aging.

MORGANTE. Antonio Morgante and his sons established their winery in 1994, and soon afterward enlisted the help of one of Italy’s most respected winemakers, Riccardo Cotarella. He has primarily devoted himself to crafting reds from the Nero d’Avola grape, particularly the Don Antonio Riserva ($40).

If you go: Sicily has a heavy schedule of food festivals throughout the year (visitsicily. info), many of which focus on a single culinary ingredient, such as artichokes, cuttlefish, strawberries, or tomatoes. The Planeta winery allows consumers to book tastings and meals at four of its estates (Menfi, Vittoria, Noto, and Etna). Tasca D’Almerita operates a boutique hotel and resort at its Capofaro estate (capofaro.it). In addition to offering tours and tastings at three locations, Donnafugata owns a golf resort and spa in Ragusa (donnafugatagolfresort.com).«

ca d’Almerita (tascadalmerita.it/en) today combines tradition with technology. The flagship wine is Rosso del Conte ($65), a red blend of Nero d’Avola with other regional varieties. Its entry-level Bianco ($12) and Nero d’Avola ($14) are good values.

DONNAFUGATA. Like Planeta, Donnafugata (donnafugata.it) is heavily involved in literature, music, art, archaeology, and food as well as wine. Whites include native varieties such as Grillo (SurSur, $20) and interesting blends of Chardonnay and Ansonica (Chiarandà, $40). Nero d’Avola is the main focus for reds, culminating in the Mille e Una Notte, or “Thousand and One Nights” ($75).

AZIENDA AGRICOLA COS. Founded in 1980 by three students on vacation, Cos morphed into a winery. Although the trio learned the technology of winemaking over the years, they ultimately decided to return to a more traditional—even primitive—approach. They are best known for a blend of Nero d’Avola and Frappato called

For this Delray Beach condominium, Allison Paladino of Allison Paladino Interior Design & Collections paired a less-is-more aesthetic with a refreshing spin on a common Floridian color palette. Soft shades of blue and green, seen in the Edward Fields rug and Dicembrino Upholstery Inc. pillows, reference ocean hues and bring warmth to the clean, streamlined furniture selections. A curved John Low cocktail table from Campaniello offsets a geometric leather sectional, an exceptional piece that mirrors the stepped coffers in the ceiling. The modern vibe continues in the foyer, where Paladino complemented a custom bench from Hamlin Woodworks Inc. with an ethereal work of art purchased at JF Gallery. “The painting softens the space with a very peaceful expression,” Paladino says.

“It is reminiscent of floating in a pool with no care in the world.” North Palm Beach (561-814-2836, apinteriors.com)

POWER PUNCH Celerie Kemble of Kemble Interiors lifted the spirits of a previously lackluster corner in this Palm Beach residence. “In a small, seemingly insignificant corner, a grouping of art over a small piece of furniture creates a visual destination that really helps balance the room,” Kemble says. “Here, we used a rattan bar cart beneath a series of seaweed prints framed in dark lacquer.

Repeating the dark lacquer of the door frames and base molding maintains a graphic continuity that keeps the room orderly, draws the eye upward, and—by having a small art collection instead of a blank wall—helps the room feel considerable and complete from all angles.”

Susan Turner Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ Jupiter Island Specialist

by Bella Group

Pia Star Photography PROMOTION

Susan Advertorial-PBI.indd 2

11/29/16 5:22 PM

17th century poet John Donne states, “No man is an island.”

While this may be true, many would agree that Susan Turner is at least synonymous with Jupiter Island real estate. Susan has quietly become a respected and sought after agent among the Island’s sellers and buyers alike.

Turner credits her third career act as having begun with Joan Thomson, the widely recognized matriarch of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities, the Northern Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast’s dominant luxury real estate company. Speaking of the Jupiter Island specialist emeritus Susan said, “Joan gave me an incredible opportunity.

I honor it by the work I do for the sellers and buyers I represent.”

Beginning 40 years ago, Joan Thomson’s real estate business was concentrated primarily on Jupiter Island. From 1974 to 2009, the Island was as she recalls, her “baby.” Joan’s decision to entrust Jupiter Island to Susan Turner was not made lightly. Considering Susan’s background as a longtime Island resident, 10 years as a Manhattan advertising executive, and twenty years as an interior designer, she was the logical choice.

Living Experience In the 1970s, Susan’s mother and stepfather built a home on Jupiter Island. In 1996, she and her husband purchased and renovated their own home on the Island, where they lived for a decade. Susan understands and reflects the motivations of the residents, who for generations have zealously safeguarded the Island’s essence. “I have a genuine relationship with this community; with that comes great responsibility.”

Describing her circumstance, Susan said, “I am fortunate to work in this incredibly beautiful place I know and love, for a company that supports me 100%, and alongside clients who share similar interests and life experiences.” Turner made plain she doesn’t rely on that commonality.” That doesn’t mean I treat my clients casually. This isn’t a hobby.”

Saying “accountability” went directly to her work ethic, and the training she received in what she still regards as the Waterfront way, Susan spoke enthusiastically about representing the property. She echoed Waterfront Properties’ Managing Partner Rob Thomson’s bold stance on how to prep clients’ properties for market. “Do it right,” she said. “For both sellers and buyers, the Waterfront process focuses on how best to make the transaction and the path to transaction as efficient and seamless as possible.To achieve these aims relies on a host of details and relationships as unique as the properties and clients themselves. Where we excel is by having the resources, the experience and the flexibility to operate successfully under a variety of circumstances.”

Global Exposure A key advantage for local sellers is Waterfront’s global network of 130,000 international brokers. “The numbers don’t lie. 75% of all foreign buyers make cash purchases, and 21% of all foreign purchases are in Florida.” Susan concluded, “Because of the personal connections we’ve established with these brokers across the globe, and through what is thousands of their websites, we bring our clients’ properties unparalleled global exposure.”

Rob Thomson was happy to talk about Susan’s accomplishments.

“Discretion is a big part of our service to clients. Without mentioning names, I can tell you Susan has been instrumental in some very significant transactions.” He smiled, “But you wouldn’t know it. She’s one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. After all these years, hard work is what we see and what her clients get.”

Turner attributes availability and accountability as two very important distinctions about how she conducts her business. “I’m here year round, working on sellers’ and buyers’ behalf at their convenience, not my own.” This is especially important when working closely with potential buyers’ often-difficult schedules.

Unmatched global exposure.

Cooks are regaining control of over-processed granola bars by opting to make the on-the-go snack at home using alternative ingredients like quinoa and goji berries. To celebrate National Granola Bar Day on January 21, Chunkie Dunkies, a local line of raw, vegan snacks and desserts by Dina Lauro, delivered two interpretations of a homespun bar, created using almond butter and bananas, and pumpkin seeds and cranberries. Then, we got crafty in the kitchen, rolling together a recipe that incorporates Take a Hike chunks from West Palm Beach–based Wildflower Granola. Chunkie Dunkies is sold at local retailers such as Amici Market in Palm Beach and Wildflower Granola is available at the West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens green markets.

Science and music may appear to be polar opposites, but many of the most accomplished scientists, like Albert Einstein, were also musicians.

Discover the fascinating similarities between the two fields during the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience’s Science Meets Music series, one-of-a-kind cultural experiences that feature presentations from world-renowned scientists and talented young musicians. Done in partnership with the Benjamin School, these inspiring displays are open to the public and begin with a musical performance, followed by a lecture, and then conclude with another round of music.

“Ingenuity and dedication are essential elements for both science and art,” says Dr. David Fitzpatrick, MPFI’s CEO, research group leader, and scientific director. “For the musician and the scientist striving to reach new frontiers, discipline, perfection, and attention to the finest detail are as important as curiosity, courage, and inspiration.”

LIP REJUVENATION The old, the new and the newest from our practice: LIP FILLERS A great way to restore volume to the lips and eliminate the vertical lines above the red lip. They enable us to “customize” the desired volume and to compensate for asymmetries.

LIP IMPLANTS A permanent and reversible option that uses soft silicone implants to enhance lip volume and contour. They come in different sizes and can be placed in the upper and the lower lip. A very safe and effective procedure for a natural look.

“SMILE” LIFT Gently elevates the corners of the mouth for an attractive look. Developed in our pracitce, takes only 20 minutes.

LIP LIFT One of our favorites: lifts and enhances the natural shape and the volume of the upper lip. It also improves the fine lines of the upper lip.

DERMABRASION The best option for eliminating the fine and deep lines of the upper and lower lip.

BRIAN HASS, MD ANDREA HASS, MD MICHAEL FREDERICK, MD Hass Plastic Surgery & MediSpa WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? For more than 20 years of practice in Palm Beach, our guiding principle has always been to provide the highest quality of fabulous yet natural-looking cosmetic surgery and injectable procedures available anywhere. Additionally, we ensure our patients receive compassionate care and five-star service from each member of our staff--without exception. With the addition of Harvard trained plastic surgeon, Michael Frederick MD, we are now introducing specialized plastic surgery to Palm Beach. He further enhances our practice with the latest advances in breast and body-contouring surgeries. Dr. Andrea Hass will continue to lead the field with her eye and brow lift surgeries and world-class injectable techniques, while Dr. Brian Hass will focus primarily on the exquisitely natural facelifts for which he is known and sought out. We are certain our current and future patients will immediately get the benefit that specialized care means for them. We are so grateful the Palm Beach community has embraced us in our approach. Thank you for your continued support and friendship.

JEFFERSON R. VAUGHAN, MD, FACS Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery WHEN SELECTING A SPECIALIST IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY, WHAT ARE THE KEY CRITERIA? Being faced with an operation is stressful. I believe it’s important to find an individual with whom one can develop a communicative relationship.

That being said, many studies have shown that volume is very important to successful surgical outcomes and fewer complications. It is also important to understand the procedure, how long it typically takes, and the average hospital stay for that procedure.

WHAT ARE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS/INNOVATIONS IN YOUR FIELD? I use a high-definition, three-dimensional camera for advanced laparoscopic surgery that allows me to perform complex surgical procedures such as colon resections. These operations generally require a lengthy hospital stay. When performed completely laparoscopically, however, patients are able to eat immediately after surgery and are discharged home the following day.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? Nutrition is immensely important for the recovery process. When appropriate, I maximize the patient’s nutritional status prior to surgery and continue to follow their nutrition during the post-operative period. For weight-loss surgery patients, I developed a line of multivitamins to address their specific nutritional needs. These products are available at WLSVitamins.com OFFICE CONTACT: 1002 Old Dixie Hwy #203 | Jupiter, FL 33458 561.741.5695 | BariatricFlorida.com

VARTAN MARDIROSSIAN, MD, FACS Mardirossian Facial Aesthetics WHEN SELECTING A SPECIALIST IN PLASTIC SURGERY, WHAT ARE THE KEY CRITERIA? When selecting a specialist for the treatment of the face, choose a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with experience and expertise to achieve a naturally youthful, non-operated look. You want to find a specialist who dedicates his/her entire career to studying and treating the face in its complexity.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? The years spent in building our expertise in decoding the “science of attractiveness” combined with our attention to detail result in our most unique and sophisticated techniques to enhance facial beauty. Perceiving the face and neck in its elements, but also as a whole, is the best way to achieve a longlasting, natural result. We are one of just few practices in the world to perform the highly sought-after facial contouring, among other facial procedures.

HOW DO PATIENTS GET TREATED AT MARDIROSSIAN FACIAL AESTHETICS? Our patients are treated with the highest level of respect. Many travel to us from across the United States and the globe to receive highly specialized facial treatments and to enhance their beauty in a natural and unique fashion. We take the time to listen to their concerns, answer their questions, and educate and help them choose the best options available. We know if our patients look good, we look good.

CLIVE BONER, DDS ELI FRIEDMAN, DMD

Palm Beach Dental Specialists

WHEN SELECTING A PROSTHODONTIC SPECIALIST, WHAT ARE THE KEY CRITERIA? It is important to learn about the doctor’s credentials and experience. Many doctors perform similar procedures, but not all practitioners have the same credentials. Advanced prosthodontics require specialty training of three additional years of full-time, hands-on residency.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? In our practice, we apply the most recent technological advances from CT scans, digital impressions, and plasma rich growth factors (PRGF). All of these contribute to an optimal patient treatment outcome.

HOW DO YOU KEEP UP ON THE LATEST ADVANCES IN YOUR FIELD? Our practice has been a pillar in the Palm Beach community for nearly 40 years. We maintain the latest advances through constant training and development. We are able to deliver a premium prosthodontic experience through facial aesthetics, using Botox and fillers combined with the latest technology.

MARK PINSKY, MD Pinsky Plastic Surgery WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? The depth of talent within the Pinsky Plastic Surgery team makes us the standout choice in our community. I am confident in my ability to provide surgical results that rival the best in the nation, and our talented injectors, laser specialists, and estheticians take our results to the next level. Add to that our absolute commitment to providing an unmatched patient experience, and you have something special.

HOW DO YOU KEEP UP ON THE LATEST ADVANCES IN YOUR FIELD? I am honored to be a Key Opinion Leader and trusted resource for many of the largest corporations developing next-generation products in plastic surgery.

This allows me early insight into new advances and techniques as well as the opportunity to help develop many new technologies that come to market. I am frequently among the first nationally to use these amazing new products. I don’t purchase all the latest advances, only the very best with proven results.

BUT WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOU? I believe my team and I offer the best combination of talent, skill, artistry, professionalism, and kindness. I work every day to deliver the best surgical results possible because I am driven to do my very best. My team is handpicked for talent, professionalism, skill, and compassion. Come meet us and you’ll see that we love what we do and our specialty is you.

ANDREW CAINE Online Treatment WHEN SELECTING A SPECIALIST IN RECOVERY, WHAT ARE THE KEY CRITERIA? When looking for a therapist to treat addiction, a number of factors come into play. You must take a close look at the cultural, clinical, and financial fit of the potential patient to match them with the best treatment facility to meet their needs.

WHAT ARE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS/INNOVATIONS IN YOUR FIELD? Telehealth is trending in the behavioral healthcare industry. Online treatment, versus costly in-person treatment, is an affordable option with 24/7/365 access. People can schedule and attend private counseling sessions online at OnlineTreatment.com using their smartphone or computer.

WHO IS GOING TO HELP THE 95% OF INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM ADDICTION WHO DON’T HAVE PRIVATE INSURANCE OR THE ABILITY TO SELF PAY FOR TREATMENT? People are denied treatment due to lack of health insurance or limited coverage. We wanted to do our part to help solve this national epidemic of people trying to break free from addiction to drugs and alcohol. OnlineTreatment.com can help solve this overwhelming need for specialized treatment.

JACOB D. STEIGER, MD Steiger Facial Plastic Surgery WHEN SELECTING A SPECIALIST IN PLASTIC SURGERY, WHAT ARE THE KEY CRITERIA? When selecting a facial plastic surgeon, the key criteria to consider are certifications by the American Board of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, as well as the American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery. It’s also important that the surgeon has completed a fellowship. Make sure to review the surgeon’s work, including before and after photos, and verify that he/she performs the procedure in which you are interested.

WHAT ARE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS/INNOVATIONS IN YOUR FIELD? Some of the latest developments in facial plastic surgery are ThermiTight™, a painless, micro-invasive solution that targets problem areas of the face, neck and other areas; and ThermiRase™, a safe and minimally invasive way to treat the “11” glabellar frown lines in between the eyebrows, providing up to two years of results.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? Facial plastic surgeons specialize in surgery of the face and neck. I’m one of few South Florida physicians dedicated solely to facial plastic surgery, treating the face, nose, eyes, ears, and neck areas. In addition, I perform noninvasive procedures such as facial fillers, lip enhancement, fat transfer, CoolSculpting®, and more.

PHILLY FAVORITES The City of Brotherly Love boasts many treasures, such as the Liberty Bell, Elfreth’s Alley, and The Philadelphia Dance Company, also known as Philadanco.

Founded by artistic director Joan Myers Brown in 1970, the contemporary, mixed-style troupe cultivates and trains the city’s everrising pool of emerging performers and choreographers. On January 13 and 14, Philadanco dances its way onto Lake Worth’s Duncan Theatre stage with bold pieces like “Between the Lines,” “Latched,” and choreographer Dawn Marie Bazemore’s emotionally imbued work, “A Movement for Five,” inspired by the Central Park jogger case of the late ’80s.

Staying Power: A Balanchine Dancer’s Story of Survival Thursday, January 12 • 11:15 am–12:45 pm Generously Sponsored by Rita Stein • Tickets: $25/member; $35/non-member At the age of 18, Steven Caras was personally invited to join the New York City Ballet by its founder, George Balanchine. Inspired by all aspects of his new surroundings, Caras was compelled to cultivate his longtime interest in photography — a “calling” that would eventually lead to a second career. Today, The Steven Caras Dance Photography Collection (in excess of 120,000 photographs) is considered to be one of the most valuable, historically significant dance archives of all time. Featuring many of the dance world’s most celebrated artists and institutions, Caras’ images continue to appear in prominent books, publications, films, documentaries, exhibitions and private collections. Caras will share professional and personal milestones and setbacks via compelling, uncensored tales beginning with his mockridden childhood to his days as a dancer during the true golden era of dance in America.

MagicMan On January 25, magical wunderkind and part-time West Palm Beacher Adam Trent will bring more than sleight of hand to the Crest Theatre in Delray Beach. Mixing mindbending magic with music, dance, and comedy, Trent has created a modern marvel with his show, aptly titled The Futurist.

Here, the entertainer, who recently performed in The Illusionists on Broadway, reveals his most elaborate feat and what gets his blood pumping. (561-243-7922‚ oldschoolsquare.org)

&

What’s Trent’s best nonmagical talent? Find out at palmbeachillustrated. com/adamtrent

PBI: How is your show different from other magic acts?

Trent: I combine magic with music, comedy, audience participation, and technology that we are all familiar with. I try to make magic entertaining first and tricky second. I really put a lot of trust in my audience as the majority of my show uses volunteers from the audience. It’s really a variety show that uses magic as the driving force.

What’s the most complex trick you’ve ever pulled off?

This act I do with video screens is quite complex. I clone myself and teleport across the stage. It took years and years to develop.

What are your favorite Palm Beach County haunts?

I like to eat at John G's and walk along the beach listening to music.

I also love going to the Palm Beach Improv and Crest Theatre when great comedians pass through town.

If you could share the stage with any other magician, who would it be?

David Copperfield has always been a hero of mine.

What’s your greatest professional achievement?

Broadway is the dream of any performer, no matter what art form. … I very seldom get nervous before live shows anymore, but opening night on Broadway, when all the reviewers were there, definitely got my blood pumping.

Come wander the pathways of the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens and enter the mystical world of Sophie Ryder. Her hybrid creatures dance and prance and play among the rare palms and cycads. Hares and Minotaurs, strange amorphous figures fashioned in wire and bronze, some with human attributes are characters beyond human form. Their gestures, points of contact and attitudes impel us to regard first and foremost, their feelings.

OCEAN STUDIO Before waterproof cameras, oceanographic exploration was documented through meticulous notes and illustrations.

A pioneer of aquatic artistry, Else Bostelmann famously depicted—in amazing detail—the fantastical deep-sea creatures naturalist Dr. William Beebe discovered during his recordbreaking bathysphere dives off Bermuda in the 1930s. More than 70 of Bostelmann’s paintings, illustrations, photographs, and personal letters are presented in the exhibit “The Fine Art of Exploration,” on display now at the Lighthouse ArtCenter

Gallery & School of Art in Tequesta.

A separate show, “Illuminating the Deep,” highlights the extraordinary rendered images of rare bioluminescent creatures photographed by esteemed oceanographer and marine biologist Dr. Edith Widder, in collaboration with artist Dr. Steve Bernstein. On January 7, Dr. Widder will discuss Bostlemann’s legacy as well as her own scientific victories, including capturing a giant squid on film for the first time.

For Kirsten “Kiki” Norman, good taste is the best business plan. Before she married golf legend Greg Norman in 2010, she was a successful hospitality interior designer, whose clients included many of the world’s most glamorous hotel properties, such as The Ritz-Carlton Dubai. Today, she works for her husband’s eponymous real estate company and lends her talent to the Norman Design Group, a luxury interior design and architectural firm the couple launched two years ago. When not jet-setting around the world, the Jupiter Islander enjoys playing tennis, spending time with her daughters, and savoring the stunning vistas at their Seven Lakes Ranch in Meeker, Colorado. —Kerry Shorr FAVORITE ESCAPE The Maldives WORTHY SPLURGES Tabletop items like Kelly Wearstler Doheny plates and Fferrone goblets.
