NEW LEASE ON LIFE On a spring morning, sunlight filters through the trees on Freddy’s Island, casting shadows Jo-Anne McArthur
on the grassy terrain and the marvelous playground set upon it. The island’s residents loudly welcome the sun’s first rays, knowing they signal the beginning of another day in paradise. It seems like an idyllic scene on a tropical island, and in many ways it is. The only difference between Freddy’s Island and, say, the Bahamas is the inhabitants of the former are not human. They are, however, some of our closest relatives: chimpanzees, the primates that share 98.6 percent of our DNA. Freddy’s is one of 12 islands within Save the Chimps, a 150-acre private sanctuary in Fort Pierce dedicated to the quality of life of more than 250 of these endangered creatures. Each island provides a 3-acre habitat with such enrichment offerings as climbing structures, hammocks, zip lines, and even stocked termite mounds. Most importantly, it offers the opportunity for interaction with other chimps, something they never had in their previous lives as biomedical research subjects, pets, or circus entertainers. For these traumatized individuals, Save the Chimps is a second chance to live with the dignity and freedom they deserve. It is this noble mission that attracted the attention of Palm Beach Media Group founder and publisher Ron Woods, who became one of STC’s staunchest supporters. Although Ron passed away three years ago this month, his vision for improving communities through philanthropy and volunteerism endures with the Ronald J. Woods Charitable Trust, which continues to support the causes he held dear. Save the Chimps was special to Ron for two reasons: He was a lifelong advocate of animal welfare, and he believed in improving the lives of those who suffered, whether animal or human. He could not fathom the injustice of abuse, such as that endured by these rescued chimpanzees during their tenures in the Air Force space research program or Clockwise from top left: Elway plays peek-a-boo in the grasses; an aerial view of Save the Chimps’ 12-island habitat for chimpanzees; pensive Amy; a covered bridge on Freddy’s Island; playtime is a joyful experience for Jude and JB.

The Coulston Foundation’s windowless laboratories. As a successful businessman, he had the means to help—and did not hesitate to do so when he recognized a need. But for Ron, philanthropy went well beyond writing a check. A self-made man, he understood the value of being given a chance. Time after time, he did that for others—from troubled youth

on whom the system had given up, to talented but underprivileged children, to abandoned or ill-treated animals—and in the process, he touched an untold number of lives. One of those lives is Cheetah’s. The 40-year-old male chimp sits in an ample enclosure on Alice’s Island, mixing paints and creating abstract works of art on the walls and floor. When three human visitors approach, he whoops and bangs in anticipation. “He doesn’t know he’s a Considering Cheetah endured 400 liver biopsies at the hands of humans, it’s amazing that he is so trusting and loving. He picks up a “tickle stick”—a repurposed section of water hose— and teases his human friends with it. He especially loves to tickle fingers and toes. “He’s still so sweet and wants to play, even though he hasn’t had a great experience with

humans,” Polidoroff says. After a brief interaction, Cheetah arranges a handful of fleece blankets into a nest, similar to what a chimpanzee would do in the wild. He settles in, content and cozy—a far cry from how he would have ended the day prior to his rescue in 2002. He still has difficulty assimilating into chimp societies because of his time in confinement, but his golden years are spent in a peaceful, enriched environment with nutritious meals, top medical care, and plenty of affection.

Mango on a Stick For South Floridians, the warmer months mean one thing: mangos. The nectary fruit is a boon here in the subtropics, with towering trees producing bushels of mangos annually. To cash in on the bounty, slice and dice the orange fruit and freeze a batch of mango-berry pops, a sweet treat that will help you beat the heat.
Ingredients (makes 8) 3 mangos (about 3 pounds), peeled, pitted, and diced 6 oz. raspberries 6 oz. blueberries 2 cups coconut water 2 tbsp. light agave nectar
Gently push raspberries into bottom of Popsicle mold. Place diced mango into mold on top of raspberries. Top with blueberries. In a liquid measuring cup, mix coconut water and agave nectar, then pour into each mold, about 1/4 inch from the top. Insert Popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze overnight. Remove from molds and serve immediately.

The Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum revisits the decade that defined the city in “Those Were the Days, My Friend: Boca Raton in the 1960s.” On display through August 31, the exhibition takes visitors back to a crucial era of development, when the once sleepy farming town became the Boca we know today. Artifacts, photos, and videos tell the story of those transformative years when high rises grew faster than pineapples, jobs arrived by the droves, and three angry hurricanes came roaring through town. The museum is open Monday through Friday, and admission is $5. (561-3956766, bocahistory.org) —Mary Murray

Boalt opened Growing up the step-granddaughter of Lilly Pulither first Strong zer, Amanda Boalt was always in tune with the Boalt location in December. Palm Beach aesthetic. But while Pulitzer specialized in women’s wear, Boalt has a passion for men’s apparel. In 2009, she founded Strong Boalt, a line of modern preppy menswear. Last year, she started a boys’ collection before opening her first retail store in Palm Beach. A lover of all things colorful and comfortable, Boalt spoke with PBI about her menswear philosophy. (561-530-7333, strongboalt.com) —M.M.
PBI: What do you view as the tenets of men’s fashion? Boalt: Fit and quality are the essential elements of good style. Identify the core pieces of your everyday style and find quality, well-made options that become your staple pieces. Even if your color palette doesn’t extend beyond a white polo, find the most comfortable, well made, and best-fitting option. Simple pieces, when well made, can stand on their own. What is the ideal men’s outfit for summertime in Palm Beach? Our lightweight pima cotton Alexander polo, cottonlinen walking shorts, canvas smoking slippers, and a tan.

How should men go about incorporating prints into their wardrobe? Prints can be incorporated with subtle accessories like a great pocket square. Swimwear is an easy category for all men to have fun with graphics and color. We’re excited to be seeing more prints in menswear and are designing some all-over-printed blazers and some fun button-down printed shirts. How many pairs of swim trunks should a Palm Beach man own? Lots! It would not be fun to go on a trip and wear the same suit every day.
Richard René Silvin has held many titles in his life, but writer/lecturer is his favorite by far. A former hospital administration executive, Silvin retired to Palm Beach in the late 1990s and, like any retiree, he sought out hobbies. “My golf stinks, and I can’t ski like a daredevil like I used to,” he says. “I thought that instead of golfing, I would pick up another hobby. I decided to write.” In the last 10 years, he has written five books on subjects that reflect his varied experiences and pique his myriad interests. He also recently founded a publishing company with his partner, Robert Versteeg, to help others fulfill their dreams of becoming authors. For his latest tome, Normandie: The Tragic Story of the Most Majestic Ocean Liner (Silvin Books, $85), he delved into a topic that has mesmerized him since he was a boy. Silvin grew up in Geneva, Switzerland and would make trans-Atlantic crossings to visit his mother in America. He never traveled on the Normandie, which sank during World War II, but he was always fascinated by the ship’s design and modernity. “It was so far advanced, both in terms of its design outside but mostly because of its art inside,” he says. “It was a floating museum.” As a child, Silvin dreamed of navigating the Normandie. Now a model of the vessel rests inside his coffee table. This book serves to honor a ship that has sparked his imagination for decades. (rrsilvin.com) —M.M.

A Writer’s Life
A Palm Beach Gardens mom is making hand-me-downs cool with Switch Monkey, an online marketplace for kids. Willa Cohen was sick of looking at mountains of old toys, games, and sporting goods, so she created a website that allows kids—with parental consent—to buy and sell items they’ve outgrown. In place of real money, Switch Monkey uses MonkeyBucks. Kids earn the currency by selling and, once they’ve accumulated enough, can use those bucks to buy things from other users. Cohen hopes the site, which launched in February, will help teach kids about economic principles and how to be more environmentally conscious through the practice of recycling their toys.

T
he midday sun hangs high in a cloudflecked sky, dust whirling around in its brilliant light. Just as we’ve crested a grassy hilltop and cut the engine of our open-air ATV, the subject of our search fills the frame where the windshield ought to be. A shaggy beast stands motionless, save for the slow, rhythmic stamping of a spindly front leg into the auburn dirt. Whether the gesture is in welcome or warning isn’t yet clear, but with unyielding eye contact and staccato snorts, he makes it known that we’re intruding on his turf—his and all the other members of his herd that are scattered around. Apparently deciding we pose no threat,
the ungulate turns his attention back to the grass. I slide my iPhone out of my pocket and start snapping pictures. “We need one of them to go stand on top of that ridge,” says guide and driver Ken Stinnett. He issues a breathy, baritone “Uuuuurt” in the animals’ direction—a peace offering of sorts—then resumes his own picture-taking through a telephoto lens. The moment could not be more magical. For anyone who’s been on an African safari, this experience might sound familiar. But it’s not a Cape buffalo or a rhino we’re watch-
Ladder Ranch boasts many natural wonders as well as the comforts and fun of home.

ing, and I haven’t crossed an ocean—or the equator—to get here. It’s a herd of American bison that holds our attention captive on a warm, sunny September afternoon in the vast expanse of Ted Turner’s Ladder Ranch in Caballo, New Mexico. Unlike Africa’s game reserves, which see tens of thousands of safari goers each year, Ladder Ranch (theladderranch.com) is relatively uncharted territory for tourists. In fact, at the time of my visit, it has been just days since media mogul and conservationist Ted Turner officially opened his private ranch for eco-tours
Clockwise from top right: guests hike through a shallow stream bed; Ladder Ranch master suite; living and dining room.
through his new travel company, Ted Turner Expeditions (tedturnerexpeditions.com), and I am among the first travelers to gain access to the staggering 156,000-acre property and sleep, eat, and relax in the cozy ranch house on site. With just five bedrooms and not a check-in desk or valet stand in sight, I have the place to myself—the spacious living room with a giant stone fireplace and gleaming wood floors; the wide front porch with white wooden rocking chairs and majestic mountain views; the retrostyle kitchen with twin fridges and an eat-in corner; and the comfortable sleeping quarters, including Turner’s own sun-drenched master suite, Ted’s Room. Included in the nightly rate—$6,000 for as many as four guests—is a handful of private staff (including a personal chef) who retreat to the bunkhouse next door when daily duties are done. Each morning, I wake to find the dining room’s hulking wood table set with fresh fruit and all manner of mains, from veggie omelets to French toast to warm blue-corn pancakes. The kitchen is stocked with soft drinks, snacks, and other provisions I have requested. And my house manager ensures that I never leave feeling uneasy about how suitable my shoes are for whatever adventure lies ahead. A daily routine develops: As I finish my morning coffee, my private guide arrives and offers a brief on our next adventure on one of Turner’s properties in the area—walking through Ladder Ranch’s shallow streams, lush riparian forests, and desert grasslands; hiking to dizzying heights at the otherworldly 350,000acre Armendaris Ranch; and soaking in natural
hot springs at Sierre Grande Lodge & Spa. At the onset of each new adventure, I’m skeptical it can’t possibly top the first afternoon’s bison encounter—and each evening, I return to my temporary home on Ladder Ranch in utter disbelief over what I’ve seen. On the final morning of my visit, I squeeze in one last outing before heading to the airport: a walk through Ladder Ranch’s soaring slot canyons, where ancient petroglyphs and other precious artifacts are still on full display. Feeling absolutely miniature in my environment, I turn my face skyward and start snapping pictures of the rock cliffs. I want to capture that perfect moment to remind myself how special and spectacular the experience on Ladder Ranch has been. This, I’m sure, is it. « Explore nature at Ladder Ranch’s Animas Creek (above) or watch cowboys herd bison.

As the flat-6 shrieks toward its red line, it sounds like a F-16 on full afterburner. Lift off the gas and the Spyder will snap and snarl, crackle and pop as vocally as a Nascar stock car on the Daytona banking. Anyone who decrees the days of the stick shift are over should be required to take a spin in the Spyder. Its stubby shifter slices through the 6-speed gate like a box cutter through warm butter. It’s light, precise, and an absolute joy to use. Unfortunately, the upper limits of the Spyder’s on-road handling are really meant for the racetrack, the only place where you can come close to determining when the 10-inch rear tires relinquish their awesome grip. On normal highways and byways, no matter how sinewy, the Spyder sticks to the blacktop like gum to velvet. And with brakes borrowed from the much heavier 911 Carrera S, hitting the center pedal

is a bit like stopping time. The Spyder is at its best with the top down, in part because it’s a terrific experience, but mostly because the cloth roof is such a pain to raise and lower. While it’s a huge improvement over the flimsy bimini roof from the 2010 Boxster Spyder, this one still requires plenty of tugging, snapping, and shuffling around the car. Anyone who has ever used the one-handed folding top on a modest Mazda Miata will fall down laughing. But an inconvenient roof is a small price to pay for a car that delivers so much. A future classic? You bet. Don’t make it a coulda, woulda, shoulda. Invest in this thrill ride before it’s too late. «

Meet five remarkable young locals who are making a name for themselves and changing the heart of the community BY JENNIFER PFAFF PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT NELSON 48 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Rory Mackay the great portrayer Torn between a career on the stage or in the studio, British-born Rory Mackay studied both, pursuing theater in London and art in Florence. Despite landing small roles in films and theatrical performances, he traded the script for a brush and launched a career as an artist. He started painting portraits of friends, but after memorializing his then-girlfriend’s dog as a Valentine’s Day present, he began receiving more requests for dog portraits than people and soon made animals his focus. Today, he has completed more than 60 portraits of furry friends, including pieces for Ivana Trump and Australian model Kristy Hinze Clark, and recently launched a line of bespoke stationery with personalized dog illustrations. Mackay and his wife, Palm Beach native Frances Leidy, live in West Palm Beach with their two young sons. Favorite artists: Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, Jean-Michel Basquiat Best dog to paint: Anything with a flat coat. The shaggier and scruffier they are, oftentimes the more laborious the painting Next career goal: To have a line of luxury products the pet lover can relate to, like a leathery doggy rucksack, fine leather leashes, and personalized jewelry His hypothetical selfportrait: A Pandora’s box with all my passions and experiences flooding out of it, titled Like a Box of Chocolates (Life) Dream job: To have a comedy-sketch show Favorite movie: A slightly obscure English cult film called Withnail and I. It really spoke to me as an aspiring actor. Now reading: Weird Scandinavian crime-horror books Go-to restaurant: Bistro Chez Jean-Pierre Most prized possession: My camera. I just love to take photos wherever I go. It’s the basis of all of my work, and you can capture so much story with the right kind of image. Life motto: If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. What he’d title his autobiography: Leap Before You Look

MICHAEL RIDGDILL the preservationist Michael Ridgdill’s family established roots on Florida’s Gulf Coast in the 1830s, but in another life he was born in eighteenth-century England. Ridgdill grew up with a fondness for British history and art, thanks in large part to his late mother, who collected antiques and brought him on trips to Europe. After studying psychology at Palm Beach Atlantic University, he pursued his doctorate in Miami, where he established an organization that supports the preservation of art and architecture in Great Britain. What started with humble beginnings 13 years ago has turned into the American Friends of British Art, a Palm Beach–based nonprofit that helps restore treasures in Scotland and England, including artworks, 50 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
historic residences, and projects for which the Royal Family has requested AFBA’s assistance. As president of the charity, Ridgdill leads fundraisers in Palm Beach, New York, and London and advocates for the appreciation of art of all kinds. Most meaningful project: We gave a small grant to a tiny museum in a remote part of Scotland to help them clean two of their paintings. They were so incredibly grateful, it practically brought tears to their eyes. Biggest misconception he encounters: That art belongs to a museum or an individual. It doesn’t. And if we can get on a plane and visit it or open an art book and see it, then we have a responsibility to help preserve it. Goals for AFBA: To begin hosting events in other regions, especially the Deep South. Southerners have a particular fondness and appreciation for British culture. Biggest challenge as
a preservationist: Americans aren’t accustomed to living with old things, and therefore the American mind-set is that newer is better. Because of this, new development will always beat out preservation, unfortunately. Local escape: Riverbend Park in Jupiter Favorite dish: The shrimp and grits at Table 26 are ridiculous. Most prized possession: An early eighteenth-century oil portrait of a physician holding a book of Hippocrates and wearing crimson academic robes and a powdered wig. It’s pretty fabulous. On founding AFBA: I was young and slightly naive, but I was following my heart and doing something I believed in. Looking back, I’m glad I had the courage and the support from those around me. If he could have one wish come true: I’m still waiting for the million-dollar donation to come in to our charity. Hasn’t happened yet, but it will. PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | MAY 2016

NICOLE HENRY the culturist As a child, Miami native Nicole Henry fell in love with art and turned it into her life’s work. The art enthusiast opened her first gallery in 2006 in Palm Beach Gardens and five years later relocated her business to West Palm Beach. Nicole Henry Fine Art specializes in emerging markets and blue-chip contemporary art, but her gallery isn’t the only local landmark she has created: Having witnessed Miami’s cultural scene grow with the introduction of Art Basel, she wanted to bring a similar transformation to West Palm Beach. Last year, she organized the Canvas Outdoor Museum Show, a two-week arts festival that infused the city with public murals, installations, and events. The second-annual show will be held November 11–20 and, Henry hopes, will continue to serve as a prominent catalyst for the city’s growing art scene. Her early art interest: My parents used to take me to museums, and I was the only kid who would sit under a painting and just stare at it in awe. Favorite medium: Ceramics Happy hour bar: Wine Scene Beach spot: Juno Beach Music playlist: Coldplay is my favorite band, but I listen 52
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
to mostly EDM and hip-hop. Dream dinner date: Sir Richard Branson. I admire him. I love how he has taken his money and power and used it for the greater good of mankind. Her outlook on the local art scene: West Palm Beach is going through a huge cultural growth spurt. I feel it will be the next big art scene in the United States Best part of her job: It doesn’t feel like a job. I am passionate about infusing art into the community, because it increases cultural awareness, stimulates the economic growth, and sustains thriving communities. What to expect from Canvas this year: We’re going to do more of a festival event in one of the big parks in West Palm Beach with a big musical act, a fashion component, and a lot of sponsors. Bucket-list item: To take my kids out of school for six months and travel around the world with them Guilty pleasure: Cristal Champagne What she would title her autobiography: My Life Is a Canvas Her philosophy on charity: One of the most important principles in the way I live my life is giving back. There’s always got to be a bigger purpose than just me.

HAYES HAMILTON the pathfinder Milwaukee-born Hayes Hamilton always knew he wanted a career in a creative endeavor, but he wasn’t sure exactly what. So he explored anything that made him happy, beginning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he studied art with a concentration in sculpture. He then entered the fashion industry in New York, working as a receptionist for Carolina Herrera before moving on to jobs with other designers, assisting at New York Fashion Week, and serving as a personal shopper—as well as stints at Worth magazine and in the dotcom industry. Eight years ago, he relocated to Delray Beach, where he launched his own accessories line. Hamilton creates flower-shaped lapel pins from exotic materials like cobra, crocodile, and lizard skin, along with a collection of decorative lacquer boxes featuring hand-painted coral. The pins are sold at Trillion and Gentlemen’s Corner in Palm Beach, and the tabletop boxes can be found at Mecox in West Palm Beach. What inspires him: I’ve always been into animals, plants, sea life, spider webs,
flowers—just nature and the fact that it surrounds us, our connection to it, and how it relates to making us happy. Which pin represents him: I haven’t made it yet. What he collects: Pre-Columbian artifacts Most recent purchase: This fantastic divination piece from the Yoruba tribe that dates back to the 1800s. It’s made from cowrie shells and twine and in it is a little flute made from bone. It has this amazing shape, like an octopus. Where he shops: Anywhere from Neiman’s to thrift Go-to restaurant: Pizza al Fresco. The moment you walk in there, you’re transported to Europe. Favorite author: I think David Sedaris is very funny. Getaway destination: New York. I like to go back and get that cultural influx—the energy of the city, Central Park, the buildings, everything that’s going on—and then get out before it gets to be too much. Last passport stamp: Mustique Personal reflection: I’m really grateful for where I am in my life. I get to be present, accountable, and genuine in my personal life and in my artistic expression.

Lawson Aschenbach the speed demon Growing up with two brothers in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Lawson Aschenbach was a self-proclaimed “motorhead” who spent his childhood on anything with wheels—dirt bikes, four-wheelers, go-karts. Not surprisingly, he went on to become a national champion go-kart racer, began open-wheel racing at age 16, placed in his first professional race in 2005, and won the 2006 SPEED GT championship during his rookie season. In total, he has 28 race wins under his belt and is now sponsored by the Stevenson Automotive Group, competing in at least 20 races a year around North America. Aschenbach moved to South Florida 10 years ago (after graduating from Vanderbilt University with a double major in mathematics and engineering) and lives in Palm Beach Gardens with his wife, party planner Beth Beattie, and their 5-month-old daughter, Grace. In his spare time, he works to raise awareness for Crohn’s disease, which he was diagnosed with three years ago. Career aspirations: To win an International Motor Sports Association championship and run the Indianapolis
500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Fastest speed: In the high 180s. [But I] drive like an old man on the street. Cruise control is my best friend. Road music: Lately, it’s been country. I really like the Zac Brown Band. Why he likes racing in the rain: They call it the great equalizer. In our sport, there are so many different cars, and different cars mean different attributes. [But] when you get into the rain, a lot of that stuff gets thrown away. Secret weapon: I’m a big believer in visualization. In my mind, there’s no better way to be in a focused, clear, driven mind-set than when you can visualize that lap and what you’re going to do with the car. Off the track: I really enjoy playing golf. My wife and I just became members of the Loxahatchee Club in Jupiter. Restaurants he favors: Buccan and Coolinary Cafe Favorite movie: Man on Fire On crossing the finish line first: When all the hard work, dedication, and preparation accumulate to a win, it validates everything you’re doing, and it gives you such a great sense of relief and excitement. You crave it again. PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | MAY 2016

The creativity
GENE
The Phipps family is known for land development, but many members have staked their claim in the art world Susan Phipps Cochran, the heiress to the Phipps family fortune, is scrubbing the foot of a gigantic ant. At more than 8 feet tall, the ant towers over Susie, who is hovering inches above the ground. She has named him Atlas Ant, and he sits erect, his arms raised to the heavens ready to receive his globe. Atlas Ant is her latest large-scale bronze sculpture—one she is scrambling to complete for its reveal at the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show. But no matter how busy she may be, Susie always has time for laughs. 58

“
There’s always a little bit of humor in every piece I do.”
Narcissis
“I’m great with a scrub brush,” she jokes. She’s not cleaning the ant’s feet but coating them with acid in preparation for the coloration, or patina, phase. Kuku, the resident cat at Robert St. Croix Foundry in West Palm Beach where Susie works, approaches the ant with anticipation. “Do not lick the surface,” she quips, revealing a Cheshire Cat grin. Her sculptures, which range from oversized insects to vacant clothing transformed into chairs, are an outlet for her self-described warped mind. “I get an idea in my head, and I get chuckling to myself,” she says. “There’s always a little bit of humor in every piece I do.” Another new piece, Narcissis, encapsulates her humorous approach to fine art. Although it’s smaller than Atlas, Narcissis is equally proud. He sits atop four stacked rocks, peeking over the edge to admire himself in a reflective surface. Atlas, Narcissis, and a selection of Susie’s other works are on display through May 15 at Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens as part of “Art in the Family Tree.” The exhibition also comprises pieces by other members of the Phipps family, including Susie’s son, Jay Cochran, her grandson Rafe Cochran, her cousin Hubert Phipps, her late father, Michael Phipps, and her late cousin Diana Guest. Varied in approach and materials, the featured works illuminate a thread of artistic expression in one of Palm Beach’s most influential families. “We thought it was a fascinating idea that there are so many members of the Phippses and extended family who are artists,” says Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens Interim Executive Director Karen Steele. “Ann Norton herself came from 60 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Susie and her husband, Robert Eigelberger, live at the Palm Beach estate Susie’s Grandfather, John Phipps, built in the early 1900s. Their garden acts as a museum for many of Susie’s sculptures, including Offense and Defense (right) and Old Observer (below) from her Stick Fighters series.

a family of artists. The Phippses have been in the area a long time [so] we wanted to showcase their work as a family, even though it’s extremely different.” This family tree took root with Henry Phipps, who partnered with his friend Andrew Carnegie to form Carnegie Steel. When the duo sold the company in 1901, Henry was left with a newfound fortune and did what many millionaires do: He bought land in Palm Beach. At one point, the Phipps family owned about a third of Palm Beach. Henry’s sons established the Gulf Stream Golf Club in 1924, as well as the Gulf Stream Polo Club, a southern sanctuary for Long Island’s polo elite. The Phippses also developed Everglades Island, and Henry’s son (Susie’s grandfather), John “Jay” Phipps, conceived, organized, and named the El Cid neighborhood in West Palm Beach. Today, the family’s legacy is enjoyed at Phipps Park in West Palm Beach and Phipps Ocean Park in Palm Beach. “The Phipps family started coming here very, very early on,” says Debi Murray, chief curator at the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. “Through land ownership and then giving back land for parks and recreation, they’ve helped to grow this community in many different ways. The Phippses started the trend of creating a public space for people to access the beach or spend time together. They saw the importance of the quiet space.” “Grandpa always said, ‘Think 50 years ahead when you think of anything,’” Susie says. “If you’re going to do something, always think about the consequences or what it’s going to be in 50 years.”
While Henry Phipps’ heritage is steeped in steel and development, many of his heirs have pursued art. Susie says childhoods spent pursuing hobbies helped hone that calling. In addition to playing the piano and the bagpipes, her father, Michael, was a painter and illustrator who studied under Augustus John. Michael’s portraits in “Art in the Family Tree” exude a haunting beauty that embodies a high level of mastery as well as a tender attention to facial expressions. Michael stressed the importance of cultivating artistic interests to his children. “We didn’t have televisions, and we were only allowed radio for a half hour on Friday if we’d been good,” Susie says. “We were never allowed to sit idle—thank goodness.” Susie loved to knit and sew and would spend hours outside with her father identifying flowers, insects, and wildlife. Although she practiced beadwork, she didn’t take up art seriously until she was in her sixties, when artist Helmut Koller asked her to make a chair for a fundraiser. She forged a pair of floating overalls, an homage to American folk musicians. “I’d been watching some musicians up in North Carolina, and they all wore overalls and played music and it was great fun. I said, ‘Oh, I can float that.’” This work, which she describes as “practical art you could sit on,” sparked her love affair with bronze, in part because it allowed her to sculpt larger-than-life pieces. “It’s big, it’s bold, and I guess in my old age I want to be big,” she says. “Susie has been an immense inspiration,” her cousin Hubert Phipps remarks. “I think it’s so interesting that she decided to go large with her ants. It takes a lot of guts to go large. It’s so courageous.” As a young boy, Hubert came to live with Susie’s family after his father passed away. Initially interested in illustration, he eventually turned to palmbeachillustrated.com | MAY 2016

abstract expressionism. His pieces in “Art in the Family Tree” reflect a fascination with nonrepresentational forms that evoke a sense of mystery. “Hubert does pretty modern stuff, [and] I love it,” Susie says. “It’s very angular, but I cannot do that. I don’t think in angles, so I like the way his mind thinks.” Hubert also diverges from Susie in why he believes the artist gene runs in his family. His simple answer: money. “I think the socioeconomic situation of this family allows members to choose, possibly, what they might go into that may not be economically driven,” he says. “Very few people make money in the art business, as far as [being] artists. … Having said that, I think if there is a strong motivation to be an artist, to be expressing oneself through visual art, you could toss economic situations out the window.” Family fortune is probably the most crucial factor in the question of art as commodity. In both Hubert and Susie’s opinion, they are the only ones they need to please. “I’m the customer,” Hubert says, “and if I’m feeling satisfied with the artwork, with what’s coming out of my studio, with what I’m involved in and my finished project, bottom line, that grounds me.” Adds Susie: “I do it because I like it. It’s fun for me. … I don’t worry about other people. I mean, I worry about you if you’re sick, but I don’t worry about what your opinion is because I’m doing it for me.” Susie did act as literal customer in the 1960s when she purchased a 62

small bronze horse by her cousin Diana Guest, who could claim lineage in two prominent Palm Beach families. Diana was Henry Phipps’ granddaughter, and her mother, Amy, married Frederick Guest, a British politician and polo player. Diana was committed to her artwork and made many sculptures in alabaster, granite, marble, and bronze before her death in 1994. Diana, Hubert, and Susie are the most prolific artists in the family, and their pieces in “Art in the Family Tree” are presented individually. Michael Phipps’ creations, on the other hand, are grouped with those of his grandson, Jay Cochran, and his great-grandson, Rafe Cochran. Perhaps best known as a racecar driver, Jay is also a skilled woodworker. He became enamored with the craft as a child tinkering in his grandfather’s shop and fostered an early appreciation of fine furniture. When not cutting lanes on the racetrack, he makes everything from cradles to tables. In “Art in the Family Tree,” some of Jay’s most exquisite tables hold sculptures by his son, Rafe. A fifth grader at Palm Beach Day Academy, Rafe is a golfing prodigy, but his grandmother, Susie, takes responsibility for introducing him to art. One day when Rafe was 3, he was visiting Susie’s Palm Beach home and noticed a small armature on her coffee table. Explains Susie: “I said, ‘Go for it. Here’s the clay, put it out in the sun, warm it up.’ He hasn’t stopped. He just loves doing it.” Rafe describes his work as abstract, modern, and symbolic. To see his creations juxtaposed with portraits by his great-grandfather—a man he will never know—is to see this family tree in full bloom. The Phippses may differ in sensibility and approach, but they share an affinity for nature. Michael drew and painted realistic portraits of animals, particularly polo ponies. When Rafe sculpts the natural world, he adds otherworldly texture, as seen in his small sculpture Rhino. Jay shows reverence in his choice of material, often opting for northeastern American walnut, Cuban mahogany, and curly cherry. Like Rafe, Hubert’s modernist style skews his vision of nature. His Serpent sculpture, for example, combines a recognizable form with heightened

planes not found in the average snake. Diana was the biggest nature lover, with most of her output dedicated to flora and fauna. “Art in the Family Tree” showcases her many interpretations of animals, but her Water Lily in pink alabaster trumps them all. And then there’s Susie, who at 75 has made her mark in the art world with her playful take on the insect world. Atlas Ant took more than a year to build and, with a final weight of 1,740 pounds, will prove to be one of her largest and most extraordinary accomplishments. But it all started with Susie’s quest to upstage Lee Lawrie’s Atlas, which sits outside the Phipps’ Manhattan offices in Rockefeller Center. “Every time I went there, I’d look at him and go, ‘Huh, I could make you,’” she says. “I did my version of him.” Despite her confidence and her status, Susie calls herself a “local yokel” who prefers the studio to the society scene. She’s happiest at Robert St. Croix Foundry, clad in an Andy Warhol T-shirt and surrounded by artisans who help bring her vision to life. In this moment, eclipsed by Atlas Ant and awaiting the convergence of her loved ones’ works, she reflects upon her own legacy—but not without some humor. “I’m on the base leg of my journey on Earth, let’s face it,” she says. “It thrills me to see it continuing with the rest of the family, with the younger generation.” «

pizza 101 ASHLEY MEYER
There are many regional styles of pizza—New York, Chicago, California, to name a few—but Solita & Mastino Italian in Delray Beach wants to educate South Floridians about the original: Neapolitan. At the restaurant’s pizza-making class, participants tie on an apron, roll up their sleeves, and learn from owner Steven D’Apuzzo how to create the perfect Margherita pizza, so named for the nineteenth-century Italian queen rumored to have had a healthy craving for the dish. The process starts with kneading hand-stretched dough, which the Solita & Mastino team makes over a 24-hour period using fineground flour. Next, students top their pies with San Marzano tomato sauce, cow’s milk mozzarella, and fresh basil— red, white, and green ingredients that nod to Italy’s flag. Finally, each pizza bakes in the eatery’s 900-degree brick oven for a minute and a half, emerging bubbling hot and authentically Italian. The class costs $69 per person and includes ingredients for a personal pizza, an alcoholic beverage, and a true taste of Italy. (561-899-0888, mastinowoodfire.com) —Jennifer Pfaff

Standing the TESTA TIME
When Michele Testa Sr. opened his eponymous eatery, Testa’s, in 1921, it’s unlikely the Sicilian-born restaurateur ever pictured guests arriving in Ferraris. Now the bustling spot is celebrating 95 years as a Palm Beach institution, one that still attracts locals and repeat guests, like Tony Bennett and Hoda Kotb, who favor its traditional take on Italian dishes including Chicken Cacciatore and Veal Caprese served with the founder’s homemade sauces. “Our marinara, Neapolitan, and meat sauces are my grandfather’s recipes,” says Judy Testa. “They stay locked in the safe.” In 95 years, Testa’s has managed to stay in the family: Judy runs the Royal Poinciana Way restaurant with her sister, Anna, while their brother, Tom, oversees the Bar Harbor, Maine outpost. Other menu mainstays include the cream of crab soup, a 30-ounce sirloin steak for two, and Testa’s signature cold strawberry pie garnished with hot glacé and homemade whipped cream. “It’s been on there since day one,” Judy notes.

According to Churchill Downs, around 120,000 mint juleps are served at the racetrack throughout Kentucky Derby weekend, which takes place this year May 6 and 7. The drink first appeared in the late-eighteenth century when it was prescribed as medical treatment to settle the stomach. It still works well in that context, especially if you’ve bet on the wrong horse. One of the most popular local variations is the strawberry mint julep at Truluck’s in Boca Raton. “We try to offer classic cocktails with an interesting twist,” says bar manager Wally Arenas. “If anyone from Kentucky complains, we can always make them the original version. But most of our customers prefer to be adventurous.” (561-391-0755, trulucks.com)
Strawberry Mint Julep 1½ oz. Old Forester Bourbon ½ oz. strawberry mix 5 mint leaves ½ tsp. powdered sugar Muddle all ingredients (except Bourbon) in a pint glass, then add the Bourbon. Fill to the top with ice, shake vigorously, and pour into a rocks glass. Garnish with a mint leaf. Feel free to add more Bourbon if your mood is generous. Note: A pewter cup is traditional but not required. —Mark Spivak

Five cocktails to stir up as the mercury rises and the living’s easy By Mark Spivak
Spring and summer are the seasons for long drinks—tall, low-alcohol cocktails that may be sipped languidly or quaffed to quench a warm-weather thirst, depending on your circumstances and the mood of your companions. They don’t contain a long list of exotic ingredients, and virtually anyone can make them. Here are some refreshing recommendations.
PIMM’S CUP
The granddaddy of summer drinks was first concocted in 1823 by James Pimm, who went on to establish a chain of oyster houses in London. Once hugely popular, the Pimm’s brand declined during the 1970s and 1980s before experiencing a revival about 10 years ago. Today, you’re most likely to find Pimm’s No. 1 Cup—a gin-based blend with a sweet and spicy tang, coming in at around 25 percent alcohol. The Pimm’s Cup is extremely customizable; you can improvise based on your whims and tastes. The most familiar version comes from Napoleon House in the New Orleans French Quarter: Fill a 12-ounce glass with ice, add 1 1/4 ounces Pimm’s No. 1 and 3 ounces lemonade, top off with 7-Up, and garnish with cucumber.

Before Tom there was John, though the drinks bearing their names are the same. The John Collins—named for a headwaiter at a London hotel—was first mentioned in 1869. By the time the legendary Jerry Thomas published his Bar-Tenders Guide in 1876, the cocktail was known as a Tom Collins, and the backstory was more titillating: Tom Collins was a political activist who died in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Either way, the preparation is simple. Mix a 3:2:1 blend of Old Tom Gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup in a tall, icefilled glass, top with soda, garnish with a lemon slice and a maraschino cherry—and enjoy.
The Pompier (French for “fireman”) swept New York café society in the 1930s and was the forerunner of the Vermouth Cassis. Regardless of what you call it, begin by filling a highball glass with ice and pouring 2 ounces of white Nouilly Prat vermouth. Add half an ounce of crème de cassis, club soda, and a slice of lemon. For a fun variation, swap the vermouth for Lillet Blanc.
singapore sling You may not have heard of Ngiam Tong Boon, but you’re probably familiar with the cocktail he invented at the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel in 1915. It’s not exactly low in alcohol, but man does not live on fruit juice alone. To make it, add gin, Cherry Heering, Cointreau, and Bénédictine to a shaker with grenadine, ice, pineapple and lime juices, and a dash of bitters. (For the “official” recipe, consult the International Bartenders Association, iba-world.com.) Strain into a highball glass and retreat to the veranda to watch the boats go by.
ports in a storm Most of us think of Port as that red, sweet, sticky stuff we drink after dinner. Visit a restaurant in Portugal, however, and you’ll be offered a pre-dinner cocktail of white Port and tonic. Almost all of the country’s major Port lodges produce reliable versions. The standard ratio of tonic to white Port is 2:1, but you’ll want to experiment to find your optimum blend. Make sure to use a high-quality mixer, such as Fever Tree or Q Tonic, and add some citrus or mint leaves to liven things up. «

Into the
Deep
Given Palm Beach County’s temperate ocean waters, intricate reef systems, and colorful marine life, it’s only natural that scuba diving would be a popular recreational sport here. But beyond the wonderment of the activity, it’s also beneficial to personal health. “Swimming in general provides cardiovascular and musculature workouts, and when diving you get the added benefits of swimming in the beautiful underwater world,” says Shana Phelan, owner of Pura Vida Divers in Singer Island. “Diving can help improve blood circulation and promote flexibility and strength.” The slow, deliberate movements in diving require aerobic and strength training outside of the water, Phelan says. Diving also has mental-health perks, including stress relief. “Breathing slowly and deeply promotes a calm, relaxed state of mind,” she says. Inhale, exhale—and explore a whole new, underwater gym.

Native Nosh
When it comes to healthy food done right, nobody does it like a local. Founded by three Palm Beach County residents, 3 Natives serves up fresh, all-natural acai bowls, wraps, salads, smoothies, and juices all made from locally sourced ingredients and designed for a beach-centric lifestyle. Everything on the menu is made in house—from the outrageously yummy black bean hummus wrap topped with sunflower sprouts, tomatillo dressing, and Himalayan pink salt to the black lemonade with activated charcoal, purified water, lemon, and raw sugar cane. In addition to locations in Tequesta and Juno Beach, 3 Natives recently added an outpost in Jupiter. In celebration of its new location, 3 Natives shares the recipe for its most famous acai bowl, the Chronic. (3natives.com) —Mary Murray
Chronic Acai Bowl Ingredients (serves one) 7 ½ oz. organic acai 3 ½ oz. organic granola Half of one banana, sliced 2 oz. kiwi, chopped 4 oz. strawberry, chopped 2 oz. pineapple, chopped Organic coconut shavings McCoy’s Honey Place acai in a bowl and add a layer of granola. Cover with sliced banana. Add kiwi, strawberry, and pineapple. Sprinkle coconut shavings and drizzle honey.
tart smart It’s no secret: Floridians love citrus. And thankfully, this zest for all things orange, lemon, and lime is beneficial to our health. Citrus fruits are vitamin C powerhouses, and the antioxidant plays a key role in making collagen, can reduce the risk of chronic illnesses like cancer and cardiovascular disease, and helps squelch common cold symptoms. But citrus is so much more than vitamin C. These fruits also contain potassium, folate, calcium, and vitamin B6 and are completely devoid of fat, sodium, and cholesterol. If you’re trying to lose weight, whole citrus fruits are the perfect snack because their high fiber content will leave you feeling satiated and satisfied. —M.M.

Core Control
Lagree Fitness, a Pilates-inspired workout popular among celebrities, found a home in the Palm Beaches when Marina Perrone opened Core Evolution in Palm Beach Gardens in 2013. Perrone recently expanded her fitness empire to include a studio in Boca Raton and a Wellington location opening this summer. On May 7, the creator of Lagree Fitness, Sebastien Lagree, will teach three classes at Core Evolution in Boca Raton. A former bodybuilder turned personal trainer, Lagree developed his eponymous workout at the behest of his clients, who were looking for a more strenuous version of Pilates. “They wanted to sweat and they wanted to get stronger,” he says. “But they didn’t want to work with weights because they thought they would get bulky.” Lagree hosted a boot camp that brought the best of cardio and weight training to the Reformer, a Pilates machine composed of a flat platform that rolls along a frame and uses a set of springs to control resistance. He soon found the Reformer could not keep up with him or his clients, so he set out to build his own device. In 2005, he unveiled the Proformer, which uses counter resistance to make the workout more intense. Lagree saw his workout gain further popularity with the release of his second machine, the Megaformer, which is used at Core Evolution.
&
How does Lagree Fitness improve balance and posture? Find out at palm beachillustrated. com/lagreefitness
Most Lagree Fitness classes last about 50 minutes, and participants burn around 700 calories. Lagree has also developed a ramp for the Megaformer that further ups the ante on the workout per class. “You lift the machine just a few inches off the ground, and you feel like you’re working out on the machine for the very first time,” he says. Pilates practitioners will recognize Lagree Fitness’ mind-body connection and reliance on core control. But they will be surprised by the workout’s intensity. “It’s like you’ve gone your whole life at 60 miles an hour and now you can press on the pedal and go 300 miles an hour,” Lagree says. His biggest piece of advice for newbies: Take it slow. “You don’t want to tire yourself from the workout,” he says. “You want to feel invigorated.” (561-345-4446, coreevolutionpb.com) —M.M.
Massage for Mom
Pregnancy can be a wonderful experience but also an uncomfortable one. Jupiter-based massage therapist Kirsten Caprio alleviates discomfort with prenatal massages, which address pain caused by the postural change that occurs in pregnancy. Caprio works the back, shoulders, neck, and, if desired, belly, explaining how to massage the stomach at home to improve circulation. Here, she shares insight into the practice. (561-294-4458, jupiterpregnancymassage.com) —J.P. PBI: What are some of the benefits of a prenatal massage? Caprio: One of the primary benefits is reducing stress hormones, [which] penetrate the placenta in the same way harmful toxins get through. This decrease in stress hormones is beneficial to both the mother’s mental health and the fetal development. Other benefits include regulation of hormone levels; better sleep; reduced swelling in the legs, feet, and ankles; decreased nerve pain and fatigue; improved circulation; and increased relaxation. How does it affect the womb? Pregnancy massage benefits the baby by
sedating the nervous system, which brings relaxation to both the mother and the baby in utero. The pregnancy massage reduces harmful stress hormones, encouraging healthy fetal development. Increased circulation from the massage brings greater nutrition to the tissues. How far along in a pregnancy is a massage beneficial for most women? Most women feel physical pain and stress in the third trimester. I have many clients who seek a holistic approach to inducing labor if they have a pending induction scheduled. A labor-inducing reflexology treatment [can be] successful with many new mothers.

The Science OF BEAUTY Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but that hasn’t kept researchers from investigating the science behind the perception of beauty. Many of the most popularly held beliefs boil down to proportion and symmetry. The ancient Greeks, among others, used the golden ratio (also known as the divine proportion) of 1:1.6 as a basis for creating works of beauty, particularly in art and architecture. That same ratio is often applied to studies of facial beauty, with attractiveness being described as a face that is roughly one and a half times as long as it is wide. A 2009 study, however, debunks this single golden ratio in favor of two golden ratios. Researchers at the University of Toronto and the University of California in San Diego found two desirable ratios for length and width, with both dependent on the relationship between the eyes, the mouth, and the perimeter of the face. Participants identified female faces as being most attractive when the distance between the eyes and the mouth was roughly 36 percent of the face’s overall length. Looking at it horizontally, faces with a distance between the eyes that was approximately 46 percent of the total width of the face were also deemed most attractive.
Dr. Vartan Mardirossian, a plastic surgeon specializing in facial feminization at Mardirossian Facial Aesthetics in Jupiter, believes the eyes are the absolute center of the female face and every feature should work in harmony to bring focus to them. When it comes to the forehead, this means slightly raised eyebrows that extend over the outside corners of the eyes. For the cheeks, it results in prominent bones that project light into the eyes. All of these elements combine to draw attention to the eyes and, hopefully, project an undeniable beauty. “Each face has its own mixture of harmonious features that make it beautiful,” Mardirossian says. “We can only study these features based on perception.” (561-624-0900, palmbeachplastics.com) —M.M.
Specializing in treating the patient as opposed to just the symptoms. – Dr. Becky Campbell What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? Patients come to me with issues such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, autoimmune disease, fatigue, weight gain, depression, and anxiety. I look to find the root cause of the issue instead of treating the symptoms. I give each person a unique, individualized treatment plan based on what I find from our specialized testing.
What made you become a doctor of natural medicine? I suffered with symptoms I could not understand for years. I went to countless doctors and got little to no answers. Then I started to research things on my own and finally found a functional/natural medicine doctor who really helped me. I knew that was what I wanted to do for other people, and I’ve been on this journey ever since.

Agenda Light
Let There Be The artistic power of light is explored in the exhibit “Lit,” running through July 31 at the Cornell Art Museum at Old School Square in Delray Beach. More than a dozen international artists display contemporary works in various mediums, all illuminated by a unique light source. Ukraine-born Mark Khaisman created The Lady with Beige Birkin Bag (right) in 2013 using his preferred everyday material: packing tape. The tape is layered across an acrylic panel illuminated by a translucent resin light box, which helps create different shades of color. A 2014 work by Chris Bracey, the late London artist known as “The Neon Man,” is also on display. The Artificial Fascinates Me (top) consists of neon letters Bracey scavenged and mounted on recycled corrugated iron to reveal a personal statement through the medium that earned him his reputable name.

Everything is rosy in Reed McIlvaine’s verdant universe. As the CEO of Renny & Reed, the legendary event-planning company his uncle Renny Reynolds launched in 1972, McIlvaine is set on reinventing the social scene with spectacular fêtes and floral vignettes. In addition to overseeing flower operations at the St. Regis Hotel and The Peninsula, he also runs shops at the St. Regis, on Park Avenue, and in North Palm Beach. Renny & Reed’s southernmost shop, located on Dixie Highway, carries a curated selection of floral arrangements, entertaining essentials, and decorating must-haves. McIlvaine lives in New York and Jupiter with his wife, Kelly, and their two sons. Palm Beach obsession The island’s lush landscape and architecture. The endless beauty is a constant inspiration. I get to enjoy all of it every time I design an event at The Breakers. Recent coveted purchase A sea kayak from West Marine Favorite local restaurants I’m happy having fresh fish at at the bar at Little Moir’s Food Shack and also love a choice filet at Meat Market. Must-have gadget A full-frame DSLR Canon 6D my wife calls the “baby Canon.” I love shooting our events because I know the best elements and angles to capture. Hidden talent I’m an avid guitar player.
