From the Editor

There is always a hint of anticipation in the air as September rolls around. Season is just around the corner, if not already here. In fact, party invitations are already starting to arrive as the social whirl grows longer and longer. And for those of us with children in school, the return to daily drop-offs, PTA meetings, homework routines, and the like has once again become reality. To celebrate the back-to-school excitement, we asked eight local youngsters to model some of our favorite outfits for fall and play in the “woods” at Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens. Our adorable models, ranging in age from 2 to 7, didn’t need much encouragement: Like their stylish parents, they love to dress up and look great in front of the camera. To see the wonderful candid images captured by photographer Alana Harris, turn to “Babes in the Woods,” page 64. September also marks the annual presentation of “The PBI Awards,” our highly subjective dossier of extraordinary places, products, people, and experiences in the Palm Beach community. This year’s list covers everything from treasures for the home to Instagram feeds and even includes a few hidden gems to promote a sense of discovery. I invite you to explore the 15-page package of our award-worthy obsessions (starting on page 49) and let us know about your own favorites through any of our social media channels, using the hashtag #PBIAwards. If you haven’t had enough travel (if there is such a thing) this summer, check out “The New Frontier” on page 72. We spoke to four confirmed jet-setters about their own bucket lists and asked them to share their dream itineraries for each destination. Their responses may surprise you—and they certainly will inspire you. Lounge by the pool with our September issue and enjoy the last of the summer lull. The pace will reach warp speed before you know it.

Fabulous Fall

Every fall, I get obsessed with a new nail color. This year’s pick is Chanel’s Vert Obscur, a gorgeous deep green-blue shade.

Since my first visit to Twin Farms in Vermont, I’ve had a love affair with fall in New England. Travel editor Paul Rubio shares his own fall faves, including Twin Farms, on page 43.

Sharon Koskoff, Art Deco of the Palm Beaches

Insider

If you think Art Deco design begins and ends in Miami, think again. South Beach might house one of the most concentrated Art Deco districts in Florida, but Palm Beach County boasts a number of Art Deco structures—you just have to know where to look. “Art Deco is masculine, geometric, and futuristic, and it is the history of South Florida architecture,” says Sharon Koskoff, president of the Art Deco Society of the Palm Beaches. Koskoff founded the organization in the 1980s with the goal of fostering education, preservation, and awareness of Art Deco art, architecture, and culture found in the Palm Beaches. An artist herself, Koskoff accomplishes this mission through her book, Art Deco of the Palm Beaches (Arcadia Publishing, $21.99); lectures; and walking tours of Worth Avenue, Clematis Street, Northwood, Delray Beach, and Lake Worth. Turn the page to learn more about the tenants of Art Deco and where to find examples in the Palm Beaches. (561-276-9925, artdecopb.org)

divine deco (cont.)

Art Deco design rose to prominence in South Florida during the 1930s and 4’ 0s, but it didn’t go by that moniker at the time. “They didn’t call it Art Deco then; they just called it modernism,” Koskoff says. “They were modern designs, and they represented hope for the future after the Depression.” Within the Art Deco genre are “subcategories” of the style, Koskoff notes. Among architecture in Palm Beach County, the most popular Art Deco iteration is Streamline Moderne. Also known as Art Moderne, this style comprises low horizontal buildings with such elements as rounded corners and curves, columns, glass blocks, flat roofs, eyebrows (extended shelves above windows), and nauti-

Avast, Me Hearties!

The Cultural Council of Palm Beach County (left) and the Lake Worth Playhouse (below) exemplify Streamline Moderne architecture.

Dust off your swashbuckling garb and practice your plank walk because September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Visit palm beachillustrated.com/pirates for a dictionary of pirate terms and a brief history of Florida buccaneers. Then, put your pirate talk to use by setting sail with Black Sparrow Pirates. Join the crew on a family-friendly 65-minute adventure, hosted every Saturday and Sunday—including September 19—that departs from the Riviera Beach Marina and tours around Peanut Island and the Intracoastal. While onboard, recruits will learn nautical lingo, help out on deck, and even defend the ship from enemy pirates. (561-775-0139, blacksparrowpirates.com)

cal details like porthole windows. The best examples can be found in Lake Worth, the most concentrated Deco district, where the downtown corridor is home to such Streamline Moderne buildings as the Lake Worth Playhouse and the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County building. “One of the things I’m most proud of in Palm Beach County is that our Art Deco buildings are also arts institutions,” Koskoff says. Other landmarks that fit that bill include the Armory Art Center and the Palm Beach Dramaworks theater, both in West Palm Beach. Deco design also pops up in the form of private residences; the charming Wenger House at 3811 Wall Street in Delray Beach boasts heart-shaped cutouts and tiered eyebrows reminiscent of a wedding cake. Beyond architecture, you can also view Art Deco artworks by artists like Wheeler Williams and Paul Manship at the Society of the Four Arts and the Norton Museum of Art, respectively. While Art Deco buildings can be found throughout the eastern regions of Palm Beach County, their prominence is overshadowed by the more common Mediterranean Revival and Spanish styles. But as Koskoff points out, that just means “our Art Deco is more cherished and more valuable because we have less of it.”

Creatively Yours Whether you look to muses or wait for inspiration to strike, the search for creativity can be an arduous journey. Stuart resident Doreen Marcial Poreba, founder and owner of the public relations agency The PR Czar, outlines the ABCs of creativity in her new book, Idiot’s Guide: Unlocking Your Creativity (Alpha Books, $19.95). Poreba culled from her 30 years of experience in public relations and her role as a certified creativity coach to pen advice on how to harness creativity for personal and artistic endeavors as well as within business settings. Below, Poreba offers three tips on how to dust off those mental cobwebs and unlock your creativity. (772-221-2425, creativecaboose.com)

• Stop comparing yourself to others. Doing so only leads to negative self-talk such as, “I’ll never be that good” or, “Why bother?” Enjoy the creative process along the way, and don’t fret over the outcome.

• Practice taking risks. Creativity often leads into unknown territory, so be prepared to go beyond your comfort zone. Start by taking small risks, which can be as simple as ordering a new dish at your favorite restaurant. As you become more comfortable with exploring the unknown, taking on a new creative project won’t seem as daunting. • Explore with the mind of a child. Whether you’re looking to solve a problem at work or considering a new creative endeavor, allow yourself to dream, be spontaneous, and make believe. Play the “What if … ” game. “What if” questions open your mind and can give birth to unusual ideas that may lead you in new creative directions.

The Greatest

Generation

Palm Beach design personifies island living with a regal twist, and no one embraces this dichotomy better than India Hicks. British royalty by birth and Bahamian by choice, Hicks invites readers to take an insider peek into her Caribbean home in her new book, India Hicks: Island Style (Rizzoli New York, $45). Hicks is famous for her eponymous line of home goods and her organic yet sophisticated approach to design. Her tome is packed with photos of her home, Hibiscus Hill, as well as an investigation into the essence of island style. Readers will garner practical advice about recreating her iconic aesthetic, including understanding the importance of porches, the value of repurposing, and the emphasis on bedrooms as personal sanctuaries. And, with a foreword by Hicks’ godfather, the Prince of Wales, the book clearly comes with the monarchical stamp of approval. (rizzoliusa.com)

Toystory

September 9 is National Teddy Bear Day. This year, forgo the generic bear for a more personalized plush courtesy of the Boynton Beach–based company Budsies. Founder Alex Furmansky started Budsies because he wanted to turn his little sister’s childhood artwork into threedimensional stuffed animals. That concept snowballed, and Budsies now creates custom-sewn plush toys from any drawing or photo. Since starting in 2013, Furmansky has sold more than 10,000 Budsies and even appeared on the hit ABC show Shark Tank. The process is simple: Users upload an image of their artwork to the Budsies website and, three to five weeks later, they receive their cuddly friend in the mail. Furmansky also makes Selfies (from images of people) and Petsies (from images of pets). The toys are made from hypoallergenic materials and measure approximately 16 inches, though supersized, 30-inch Budsies are available for prime bear-huggability. (budsies.com)

This year marks 70 years since the end of World War II. In remembrance of this tumultuous time and the great generation who persevered, the Boca Raton Historical Society and Museum presents “Sentimental Journey,” an historical look at Boca Raton’s contribution to the war effort. Boca Raton was a small farming community before becoming home to the Boca Raton Army Air Corps’ airborne radar training base. The town’s population skyrocketed from 700 when thousands of men and women were stationed at the base between 1942 and 1947; following the war, many chose to stay and make South Florida their home. “Sentimental Journey,” on display from September

14 to December 18, tells the story of Boca bravery through photomurals, maps, and artifacts. But the story doesn’t stop there. Susan Gillis, the museum’s curator, joined forces with Richard Marconi and Debi Murray of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County to pen Palm Beach County During World War II (Arcadia Publishing, $21.99). Pulling from resources from both organizations as well as other public and private collections, the authors depict how all of Palm Beach County provided vital services during wartime.

LIVE LIFE IN

MOTION

Get your quality of life back. Get moving again. Dozens of area athletes attribute their ability to get back into the game to Dr. Charles S. Theofilos. His remarkable record of success in stem cell and spine and joint regeneration is based upon his unique, three-step approach to prepare the joint for stem cells before injection, increasing the cells ability to thrive.

Driving south on I-95 as you cross into northern Palm Beach County, there is nothing today that indicates you’ve arrived. This is the gateway to South Florida, yet passing Indiantown Road there is no recognizable monument, announcing to the world you have entered one of its ﬁnest corners. In the not too distant future when ALTON, one of Palm Beach County’s newest and most innovative communities, comes out of the ground, that will change.

and Florida’s Turnpike. It will house townhome and single-family residences, retail spaces, hotels, biotech, office and research centers. Well-known local and national shops, restaurants and retailers will call ALTON home, as will renowned scientiﬁc and technological institutions such as United Technologies. Their global Center for Intelligent Buildings will rise as one of the landmarks heralding arrival to South Florida, Palm Beach County and Palm Beach Gardens.

Developed by Kolter Homes and planned to open this fall, ALTON is located between Donald Ross Road and Hood Road east of I-95

Finding

Fall

By paul rubio

While New Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charm spans all seasons, the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnetism peaks in fall. As the summer masses retreat, local life erupts in full bloom. Multihued foliage blankets the land. Mild, sun-kissed days give way to crisp, starlit nights. Rich and varied harvests hold testament to this nexus of fertility. Here, we present three New England experiences for an autumn to remember.

Clockwise from left: Living room of Twin Farms’ Chalet cottage; chilled Maine lobster with coconut, beet froth, beet gel, citrus, and fennel at Twin Farms; the Aviary cottage; a Barton & Gray member vessel on a Hamptons excursion.

Twin Farms, Vermont Frolics in fall flora, farm-to-table feasts, snuggles and stories by the fireplace, bucolic farmhouses—Twin Farms is what New England dreams are made of. In a state where wilderness claims 75 percent of the land, this boutique hotel packages all of the region’s bounties into 300 acres tucked into the hilltops of Barnard, Vermont. Sprinkled across the estate grounds, each of Twin Farm’s 20 cottages and suites is singular in design, delivering different incarnations of understated luxury that complement the woodsy surrounds. In the Scandinavianinspired Barn cottage, Vermont’s natural assets double as art framed within 18-foot cathedral windows. In the more modernist, Peter Bohlin–designed Aviary, a rock-hewn hot tub and a fieldstone fireplace reflect off the floorto-ceiling glass walls. Building on the natural splendor and diverse architecture, the team at Twin Farms ensures the New England fantasy becomes reality through old-fashioned pampering and new-fashioned gluttony. Each meal is a tantalizing experience that utilizes seasonal ingredients from the estate and neighbor-

ing farmsteads. Both lunch and dinner are served as multicourse, wine-paired meals, artistically presented and unimaginably delectable. Everything’s made from scratch— starting with the freshly baked breads that change twice daily and ending with innovative desserts like the green pea sponge cake with vanilla bean gelato. Because rates are all-inclusive, it becomes that much more difficult to decline bottomless Champagne or the next plate of shrimp risotto. Life is simple at Twin Farms. Languid days are spent admiring the maples, picnicking under the shedding trees, and relaxing at the intimate spa. More active hours are peppered with pursuits like hiking and cycling the unspoiled landscapes, canoeing across the estate lake, or visiting the artisan shops in neighboring towns. Here, the air is pure, the serenity palpable, the experience detoxifying. A rediscovery of nature, self, and simplicity, Twin Farms surfaces as an all-

encompassing state of being rather than another haute hotel getaway. It is undeniably the apex of experiential New England. (802234-9999, twinfarms.com)

Barton & Gray Mariners Club Technicolor milieu notwithstanding, New England’s seascapes also sparkle during autumn. Fewer tourists translate to a reduction in boat traffic, and the waters return to a calmer, more natural state. Thankfully, Barton & Gray’s fleet of yachts—superbly outfitted and captained Hinckley vessels that offer white-glove service on the seas—linger in New England through late October. This means whale watching off Cape Cod, cruising the Boston Harbor, docking and dining in Marblehead, and beach picnicking on Nantucket are all part of the autumn agenda. With ample de-

access to events such as the Volvo Ocean Race and experiences like VIP oyster shucking at Rhody Oysters in Newport. It’s like having your own yacht—without the hassle— and an open invitation to New England adventures. (617-7283555, bartonandgray.com)

For a return to Golden Age mansions, stay at The Chanler at Cliff Walk. Constructed in 1873 as the summer home of John Winthrop Chanler, the hotel houses 20 rooms, each a chronicle of different periods of European and American design. The Chanler’s Spiced Pear restaurant delivers gastronomic greatness from its open kitchen with seafood-centric specialties like butter-poached Maine lobster over leeks, candied beets, and sunchoke puree. The restaurant’s handsome bar specializes in fine wines and pear-inspired libations like the Spiced Pear martini—the perfect nightcap to an autumn evening.

partures from harbors in Boston, Nantucket, and Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts; Newport, Rhode Island; Rowayton and Greenwich, Connecticut; and the Hamptons, the shorelines along the northeastern seaboard and the proximate islands are your oysters. If the name Barton & Gray sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the same luxury yacht day club that runs from the Palm Beach Yacht Club, the Naples Bay Resort Marina, Miami Beach, and the Gasparilla Inn and Club during winter. Like all good snowbirds, the water toys of Barton & Gray Mariners Club follow the best weather and are based up north from May to October and down south from November to April. Annual membership grants unlimited access to the yachts in all seasons and insider

Newport shines during summer, but fall allows visitors to explore the city beyond the boat races, festivals, and parties. Founded as a colony for religious freedom in the seventeenth century and evolved into America’s society capital by the twentieth century, Newport embraces its storied past. Throughout the years, this city by the sea has held claim to several historic firsts: America’s first synagogue circa 1763 (Touro Synagogue), first lending library circa 1747 (Redwood Library and Athenaeum), and first tavern circa 1673 (The White Horse Tavern), all of which remain in operation today. The city was also the site of the first U.S. Open tennis match, an achievement detailed at its International Tennis Hall of Fame. Moreover, Newport’s historic mega-mansions are monuments to Gilded Age opulence, none more so than The Breakers, built for the Vanderbilt family in 1895. Beyond immersion into American history, Newport’s breathtaking outdoors take center stage along the Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile walking trail hugging the ocean’s edge. Cap off your cliff crawl with an oyster martini or a lobster bake on the sprawling lawn at Castle Hill Inn, a century-old mansion that now is a Relais and Châteaux hotel nestled on its own 40acre peninsula.

THE ART OF NOISE

Jaguar Land Rover launches its Special Vehicle Operations performance division with the crazy-fast, super-loud Range Rover Sport SVR By Howard Walker Imagine, if you will, the cranium-exploding burst of a Florida thunderclap amplified through a wall of speakers at a KISS concert. Or the 117-decibel roar registered at a 1972 London concert by the rockers Deep Purple that earned them a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as “the globe’s loudest band.” Or, in extremis, the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883 that was so loud its shock waves reportedly ruptured the eardrums of people 40 miles away and circled the planet four times. None of these comes close to the aural cacophony that is a Range Rover Sport SVR at pedal-to-the-metal acceleration. It’s insane. I looked for the official Office of Noise Abatement and Control government warning on the dashboard, but it must have been blasted off. This isn’t a gradual crescendo. Punch the start button on the handstitched leather dashboard and it’s like a bucket of dynamite letting rip under the hood. Thankfully, a tap of another button puts the Range

Rover in a stealthier, don’t-upset-the-neighbors mode. So what is this demonic dragster? It’s the poster child of Jaguar Land Rover’s newly minted Special Vehicle Operations. This is JLR’s version of Mercedes-Benz’s hugely profitable AMG division, BMW’s M Sport, and Audi’s Audi Sport. The new Range Rover Sport SVR is essentially Land Rover’s answer to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. It’s powered by a 5-liter supercharged V-8 that cranks out a mighty 550 horsepower—40 horses more than the regular Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Off the line, it’ll lunge from zero to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds and won’t quit until the speedo needle is kissing the 162-mph mark. But this isn’t some straight-line race car. The air-sprung suspension has adaptive, magnetic dampers that respond to body movements up to 1,000 times per second. At each corner is a 21-inch alloy—22s are optional—shod with Continental rubber that grips like Velcro on velvet.

Point its nose down a twisty back road and the SVR feels insanely fast. It’s like driving a new 550-horse Jaguar F-type R Coupe that sits 3 feet off the ground. The SVR’s big V-8 works majestically with its eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive to deliver breathtaking capability. If all this slingshot performance isn’t enough, remember the Sport SVR is a true Range Rover and comes with unrivaled off-road prowess. That means the ability to wade through water 33 inches deep and plough through mud the consistency of molasses. To differentiate it from lesser Range Rover Sports, the SVR is dressed up with a new, more aerodynamic front bumper with extra intakes to chill the brakes. There are also side skirts and a rear spoiler PRICE: From $111,470 to reduce drag, as well as a quartet of canon-sized exhausts ENGINE: 5-liter supercharged poking out of the back.

Start certainly sounds like this. adding in those 22-inch alloys, the 1,700-watt Meridian Signature stereo, the $2,000 carbon fiber engine cover, and the $2,300 interior carbon fiber trim package, and you’ll hand over a buck and a quarter. follow howard walker’s But if you’re jazzed at the thought of a Range Rover Sport that the wheel world blog on believes it’s a hard-charging, red-blooded sports car, this SVR is for palmbeachillustrated.com you.

PLACE TO PLAY

Enjoy views from the Jonathan Adler–designed balconies and evenings at the fire pit.

When night falls at Eau Palm Beach, the fire pit on the terrace erupts with gentle flames and guests gather round, s’mores kits in hand. Adult guests, mind you. Why should kids have all the fun? That seems to be the mantra at the oceanfront resort that recently revamped its rooms— and its image—to exude a healthy dose of playfulness. The Jonathan Adler–designed rooms are not for lovers of beige. Big, bold wallpaper and carpet patterns, fearless splashes of turquoise, and midcenturystyle bling are not for the faint of heart, but they certainly put you in a good mood. To reinforce the concept, complimentary Champagne flows everywhere, from check-in at 4 p.m. to the lounge at sundown to the spa pretty much anytime. The latter is accompanied by cupcakes, just because. But as the sign at the fitness center reminds you: 1 cupcake = 1 mile. It might as well say, “Life’s short: Play now, work later.” 50 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

THING TO HAPPEN TO SUMMER

Clockwise: Grilled Blue Point oysters; Summer Shack lounge; blueberry-lemonade martini.

049_AWARDS_0915.indd 51

The summer found us chilling in a coastal surf shack, blueberry-lemonade martini in one hand, gluten-free ahi tacos in the other. Were we in California or Costa Rica? Nope. This idyllic scene unfolded in our own backyard as Palm Beach favorite PB Catch shed its glamorous image and slipped into something more comfortable. For his genius Summer Shack pop-up, owner Thierry Beaud reimagined the lounge area into a shabby-chic beach house—wood siding, painted shutters, surfboards, and all. But the real story was Aaron Black’s surf-inspired menu. There’s nothing like grilled Blue Point oysters or a shrimp po’ boy to put you in a summer mood. And while we love PB Catch’s sleek year-round concept, we have to confess to a certain longing for that May-to-September romance.

ALTAR TO COFFEE

Andrew Meade

Our first exposure to The Seed was on Instagram. The coffee and juice bar’s feed made us crave caffeine (and pastries, and coldpressed juice) every time, so we made the pilgrimage to Boca Raton to see the real deal. It was even better than its social self implied: The beans are roasted locally by Wells Coffee Company and brewed with love by The Seed’s baristas. They even cold brew (obsessed!) and pour over, resulting in a pretty perfect cup. Aside from coffee, The Seed justly takes pride in its cold-pressed juices (try the What’s Up Beaches, with tangerine, lemon, and carrot). Pull up a seat at a cable-spool table and join the community.

The Seed serves many variations on the perfect cup of Joe, including this pour-over method.

The gallery also houses one of the finest installations of Romero Britto art and 3-D sculpture, second only to the artist’s Miami Beach gallery collection.

Waggs to Riches 505 E. Atlantic Ave It’s a dog’s life at Waggs to Riches. Posh pups head to this over-the-top boutique for canine couture (i.e., Hip Doggie and Puppia Coup), crystal-embellished collars, and designer bedding. Spa-inspired grooming packages are available, and Fido can bring home a furry friend—the shop sells pint-sized, purebred puppies, too. (561-2728100, waggstoriches.com)

Max's Social House 116 N.E. 6th Ave. If Delray foodies aren’t at Max’s Harvest, then they’re at Dennis Max’s latest concept in Pineapple Grove, Max’s Social House. Opened in January, the New American resto is all about sharable plates, like short-rib empanadas with mango crema and brussels sprouts with bacon, washed down with innovative craft cocktails. Dishes arrive as soon as they’re ready, rather than all at once, so you’ll be dining throughout the evening. Brunch is served, too, but we recommend coming for dinner—with a reservation for the patio. (561-501-4332, sohodelray.com)

With an endless array of restaurants on the avenue, where to dine is a tough decision. These five picks are the talk of the town. ● El Camino: An always-crowded party, this hip outpost serves modern Mexican soul food, like brisket quesadillas and carne asado tacos; 200 premium tequila varieties; and margaritas with fresh, contrasting flavors. 15 N.E. 2nd Ave. (561-865-5350, elcaminodelray.com) ● Cut432: This classic steak house is the choice for an evening of fine dining, while the “social hour” menu is packed with comfort food classics—think meatball sliders and pancetta brussels sprouts. 432 E. Atlantic Ave. (561-272-9898, cut432.com) ● 32 East: Nearly 20 years after the restaurant opened, chef Nick Morfogen’s locavore cuisine still draws applause, especially for its trademark-worthy desserts and pint-sized plates of mozzarella di bufala, prosciutto-wrapped peaches, and wood-fired pizzas. 32 E. Atlantic Ave. (561-276-7868, 32east.com) ● Brulé Bistro: A French-American gastropub, this Pineapple Grove outpost draws regulars for its creative cocktails and cuisine like ginger chicken meatballs and “peanut butter and jelly” foie gras with almond butter and port geleé. 200 N.E. 2nd Ave. (561-274-2046, brulebistro.com) ● Tryst: At Delray’s version of West Palm’s hipster Hullabaloo, grab a table under the stringed lights on the patio and enjoy craft beer and cocktails with dishes like like vegan pad Thai and brisket sliders. 4 E.

Best NEIGHBORHOOD

HANGOUT

Allow us to let you in on a little secret: Palm Beach County’s newest, hippest hangout is hidden in an unassuming strip mall in Lake Park. The Brewhouse Gallery opened in mid 2014 and has become a mecca for millennials and creative spirits of all ages. “I feel like we have filled a niche and have brought the arts and culture back to our area,” says AJ Brockman, the brains behind Brewhouse. It’s difficult to classify the space as one thing or another. Is it a gallery? A bar? A lounge? A restaurant? A furniture store? The answer to all is yes. Patrons can purchase art, perform poetry or any form of expression at open-mic nights, catch live music, and then buy the couch they’re sitting on, or simply order a cheese platter and wash it down with a craft beer. Above all, Brewhouse offers a welcoming environment in which to unwind as well as a nourishing haven for area artists. We’ll raise a glass to that.

ORGANIC MARKET

REYNALDO MARTIN

Mini pie bites with blackberries; Key lime pie; vegan apple gingerbread cake.

We have been known to drive miles for a vegan apple gingerbread cake, so it only makes sense that 4th Generation Organic Market, in the southernmost reaches of Boca Raton, is on our radar. The petite, all-organic grocery and café features gorgeous produce and prepared foods, as well as a curated selection of pantry items you can trust. But it’s the café that is the real star of this family business, which is the brainchild of the fourth generation of Litowiches. Belly up to the bar for organic salads, sandwiches, and wraps, with plenty of vegan options. And don’t leave before sampling a house-made dessert, many of which are free of dairy, gluten, and refined sugars. You won’t believe how good vegan coconut cake, brownies, and macaroons can taste.

Matilda’s may be the most glamorous mash-up ever—an effortless merging of bohemian chic and island opulence. Interior designer Dana Small opened the downtown Stuart boutique on her birthday in 2007 with the goal of selling home furnishings, preppy fashions, and fête-planning essentials under one roof. Named after her now-12-year-old daughter, this luxury outpost is a treasure trove of chic finds divided into three rooms: home, cabana, and gallery. Where else can you buy Ro Sham Beaux chandeliers, custom invitations for every occasion, cashmere baby blankets, and a papiermâché pig with one swipe of a credit card? And those pigs are such a whimsical must-have that they’re flying out of the store. This we have to see.

The stage promises transformation. The Maltz Jupiter Theatre Paul and Sandra Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts illustrates that when children are introduced to the stage, it transforms not only their talents but also their sense of self. “We want to make sure we’re teaching students excellent theatrical skills, but we also feel very passionate about making sure our students self-actualize into positive human beings,” says Julie Rowe, the director of education at Maltz Jupiter Theatre. The conservatory was established in 2007 with the goal of providing theatrical education in a safe, supportive environment. It hosts summer musical theater and dance camps, group and private lessons, and six shows each year. Every production takes place on the Maltz’s main stage, and students are also able to audition for professional performances as part of the First Step to Stardom initiative. Combine that with master classes taught by visiting artists, and you have the recipe for success. In addition, the conservatory has two stellar programs that allow students to experience life as a theatrical professional. Through the Youth Artists’ Chair program, students produce a full show themselves, from the directing to the set design to the acting. Similarly, the Youth Touring Company is composed of 35 young stars in grades 5 through 12 who travel the region, bringing the joy of performance with them wherever they go. Finally, a new enterprise introduced this year aims to help young adults make the transition into professional actors. The Professional Training Program is an audition-only, two-year certificate curriculum that trains for careers in theater, musical theater, film, and television. All of these elements set the Maltz Conservatory apart from the pack and result in a vibrant arts education. That’s one awardwinning way to steal the show.

Students perform in Hairspray; Matthew Paszkiet in the Youth Artists’ chair production of Hamlet.

WAY TO GO OM

CHELSAE ANNE

Carefully balance into a downwarddog position. Now breathe deeply and take in one of the coolest views you’ll ever see: the bobbing Atlantic Ocean touching the sky, upside down. It’s a sight you’ll witness during a private yoga-boarding class with Tasha Hermann, a Juno Beach-based certified yoga instructor who teaches the discipline on stand-up paddleboards throughout Palm Beach County’s waterways. Upbeat, calming, and always encouraging, Hermann guides students into poses modified to their abilities, captures moments with a waterproof GoPro (so there’s photographic evidence you nailed that warrior pose), and inspires a genuine sense of meditative, humble appreciation. When you leave feeling refreshed, it’s not just because of the water. For SUPers, this is a new challenge to try on a board; for yogis, it’s a playful way to improve their core, balance, and breathing techniques. And for everyone, regardless of skill level, Hermann says, the yoga-boarding experience is a modifier for life: Go with the flow.

For Palm Beach Dramaworks, 15 is a lucky number. The West Palm Beach theater company’s fifteenth season was the apex of a journey that began in 2000, when Dramaworks was formed with the mission to present “theater to think about” through Broadway-worthy works. Starting with Thornton Wilder’s Our Town and ending with the nouveau musical Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill, this year’s season covered a variety of eras, themes, and theatrical styles with panache. The company’s production of Israel Horovitz’s comedy My Old Lady starred Estelle Parsons and was its highest-grossing show ever, while its interpretation of Sam Shepard’s Buried Child was simply bone chilling. Throughout it all, Dramaworks augmented its main-stage offerings—presented at the Don and Ann Brown Theatre on Clematis Street, its home since 2011—with educational programs like the Dramalogue Talking Theatre, a discussion series with theater professionals, and the new Dramaworkshop, a program for developing works by established and novice playwrights alike. Can Palm Beach Dramaworks top its fifteenth season? We’ll be watching.

The verdict is in: EmKo was worth the wait. Artist Leo Koel purchased the former home of Ragtops Antique Motorcar Museum in 2012 and gradually transformed it into an artistic haven housing a gallery and a dining concept. Today, EmKo blooms with eye candy galore and elevates food into culinary works of art. At restaurant Jereve (a play on, “Je rêve,” French for, “I dream,”), executive chef Nick Martinkovic presents seasonal, whimsical dishes that—despite uncommon ingredients and haute-cuisine techniques—don’t convey pretention. Standouts on the evolving menu include grilled corn chowder soup, made with bacon, fingerling potatoes, and pimento relish, as well as the tropical fruit soup (shown). A juice and coffee bar, an artisan market, and the Back Alley Bakery round out EmKo’s food offerings, but you can also stop by to view an exhibition or bask in the beautiful sculpture garden. However you spend your visit to EmKo, it’s bound to be inspiring. palmbeachillustrated.com | SEPTEMBER 2015

Everyone has goals, big and small,

they’d like to accomplish before they

die: run a marathon, write a book,

master the piano, learn how to ride a bicycle. For some, though, their top must-do in life boils down to one activity: traveling. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be—and why? How would you spend your time there? We asked four local seasoned jet-setters these questions and unearthed a colorful array of dream itineraries at alluring destinations. Grab your passport—your bucket list just got longer.

Angela VecelLio From a young age, this well-respected chiropractor with Palm Beach Medical in West Palm Beach fostered a love for traveling that continued into adulthood. Her 2013 wedding to husband Michael even took place overseas, in Monaco, and their honeymoon in French Polynesia set a precedent for adventures to follow. Her passport stamps include Iceland, Vietnam, Russia, and Tanzania.

Deluxe room at the Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo

why Japan: Japan offers a variety of things to do. There are temples and historical places to explore, nature and the countryside, and the excitement of a big city. It’s nice to have different options when on vacation, whether it’s relaxing, taking in the scenery, or having a great night out on the town.

In Her Suitcase: My Nikon camera, hiking shoes for Mount Fuji, and a new journal to document my adventures each day—every trip I take, I bring a journal to write in. How She’d End The Trip: In typical Japanese fashion: with karaoke (even though I cannot sing) Japanese Zen garden

And with six children, she knows the best trip is a family vacation. Her favorite travel spots include the Bahamas, Italy, France, and Ireland. Why Big Major Cay: I love animals and traveling to beach destinations. It would be magical to see the happy pigs swimming in the alluring blue waters of the Bahamas. This would be an enjoyable family trip.

Different legends exist as to why feral pigs roam uninhabited Big Major Cay (also known as Pig Island): They may have been dropped off by sailors who intended to come back and cook them, survivors of a shipwreck who managed to swim to shore, or escapees from a nearby inlet. Where She’d Stay: Right on the water in a bungalow at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club in the Exumas—or take a beautiful boat there and stay aboard it Travel guide note: Exuma is a district of c the Bahamas that comprises more than 365 islands (most of which are uninhabited or privately owned) and is known for its undisturbed beauty.

Can’t Miss: Seeing the pigs—they look so cute and playful Must sip: I always like piña coladas on an island vacation. Gotta Try: The Bahamian cracked conch Top Excursion: Snorkeling. I hear it is sensational. Travel guide note: Abundant shallow coral c reefs, protected bays, and crystal-clear water make Exuma an ideal spot for snorkeling. In Her Suitcase: A swimsuit, goggles, and my favorite vintage Missoni knit dress A Perfect Exuma Day: I picture myself in the ocean most of the day.

While his days are busy practicing personal injury law as a partner at Larmoyeux and Bone in West Palm Beach and relishing his role as a cycling enthusiast and advocate, Bone’s off hours are driven by a passion to explore new places.

Just about everywhere, including: Paris; London; Copenhagen, Denmark; Hong Kong; Bangkok; Auckland, New Zealand; Buenos Aires, Argentina; the Galapagos Islands; Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania; Istanbul; and Santorini, Greece. Camping in the Peruvian Andes

Why South America: I’ve traveled to Mexico, Canada, and every U.S. state except North Dakota (Why are there two Dakotas, anyway?), so naturally I want to go to every South American country. Where He’d Stay: When I travel to South America, I prefer hiking and backpacking. I’ve spent many nights in tents and rustic inns. Can’t Miss: The colonial walled city and fortress in Cartagena, Colombia and Cerro Cora National Park in Paraguay, which contains precious prehistoric indigenous artwork in natural caves dating back to 1300 B.C. Travel guide note: The Castillo de San Felipe c was built in 1657 by the Spanish to protect against pirates while shipping gold to Europe. Frame-Worthy Photo Op: The Aurora Australis or Southern Lights. It is impossible to predict when they will appear and, since

much of my travel takes place on extended weekends and around my work life, it seems almost like an impossible dream. Travel guide note: The Aurora Australis are c only potentially visible in the southernmost parts of Argentina and Chile in South America. In His Suitcase: A set of noise-canceling Bose headphones, a dopp kit, an airline pillow, my favorite nylon green travel pants, and my red backpack by The North Face, which I’ve taken on every trip since graduating college Must Sip: The Brazilian Caipirinha with cachaça, an alcohol made from sugar cane Travel guide note: The Caipirinha is the c national drink of Brazil. Gotta Try: An Argentine asado, which is a barbecue of grilled meats including steak, ribs, sausage, and, my favorite, mollejas (sweetbreads) Travel Tip: Don’t make the mistake of thinking Brazilians speak Spanish. They speak Portuguese. «

Taste Cheeseburger in

Paradise

In 1924, a 16-year-old fry cook named Lionel Sternberger overcharred a hamburger at his family’s fast-serve eatery in Pasadena. Rather than throw it away, the young chef hid the meat beneath a slice of cheesy goodness, and the cheeseburger was born. On September 18, celebrate National Cheeseburger Day at a local burger boîte. Don’t know where to go? We’ve done the research for you. The all-American classic gets a Francophile makeover at Café Boulud in Palm Beach. Known as the Frenchie, this beefy 6-ouncer comes with Morbier cheese, confit pork belly, arugula, tomatoand-onion compote, and cornichon garnish. Find the Frenchie on the DBGB Takeover pop-up menu, along with other classics from Daniel Boulud’s Bowery Street kitchen in New York City, now through October 12.

A-Lister: In 2011, we asked the Clematis Street hotspot Grease to build a designer burger we could boast about. The chefs responded with the PB Illustrated A-List, a tender, 10-ounce beast of beef crowned with mozzarella, radicchio, red onions, tomatoes, pesto, and a wicked-good balsamic glaze. Our namesake burger continues to impress Grease’s persnickety customers—if we say so ourselves. (561-651-1075, greasewpb.com)

Lindsay Autry’s path to top toque-dom has been flavored with career-making stints at some of the swankiest hotels and restaurants in South Florida, including Delray Beach’s historic Sundy House. She’s cooked at the prestigious Get the behind-the-scenes James Beard House and scoop on autry’s Top was a finalist on Bravo TV’s Chef experience at palm hit reality competition show beachillustrated.com/ Top Chef. In April, she hung lindsayautry up her own shingle, Fin and Feather, a Palm Beach catering company specializing in Southern soul and Florida coastal cuisine. Here, the fair-haired foodie talks sustainability and staying true to herself. (561-202-5310, finand featherpb.com) —Mark Spivak

PBI: Why did you start Fin & Feather? LA: I’ve always been a restaurant chef, and I wanted to bring that sensibility to catering. One thing we do is package dishes in attractive containers—palm leaves pressed into platters, bamboo boxes—that can be presented to guests in their homes. What are some of your more interesting dishes? Our pickled shrimp is a traditional lowcountry dish from Georgia and the Carolinas; I make my own Old Bay and preserve the shrimp in a Mason jar. I use my grandmother’s recipe for deviled eggs, using cornichons and crispy Serrano ham. And we have our Palm Beach Slim Jims: We make our own sausage with fermented jalapeños and dehydrate them to get the right texture. Why is sustainability important to you? We try to source all our ingredients from local farmers and purveyors, and only when they’re in season. It’s important to help local farmers and contribute to the support of their families. Who were your main culinary influences? My grandmother was from Crete, so I was exposed to an interesting combination of cultures—I was one of the few kids in the South who had fried green tomatoes and spanakopita on the same plate. My grandparents were farmers, and I helped out at their roadside stand, selling their produce and preserves. The food of my childhood really does inspire me; I’m paying tribute to who I am.

Counting Calories South Florida’s top sommelier has joined forces with its top winemaker to give wine lovers an amazing gift: fewer calories. Virginia Philip, master sommelier for The Breakers, and Gudrun Cuillo, proprietor of the Livernano and Casalvento estates in Tuscany, recently launched 90C, a wine that delivers—you guessed it—only 90 calories per glass. The duo accomplishes this without adding water or chemically engineering the wine, but by simply picking the grapes several weeks earlier to achieve an alcohol level of 11 percent. “This is the way wine was made for hundreds of years,” says Cuillo. “They are made for drinking, not for aging, and fit in perfectly with the healthier lifestyle people are living now.” “We tried the other low-calorie wines on the market, and the quality was disappointing,” says Philip. “Our customers know where the grapes come from, and they can be confident that the wine is made with no additives.” The brand is available in rosé, chardonnay, and red. It can be purchased locally at Virginia Philip Wine Shop and Academy in West Palm Beach and is also available by the glass at many area eateries, including PB Catch and Pistache French Bistro.

Bespoke Thievery Château Palmer was one estate targeted by professional thieves in Bordeaux.

Is “stealing to order” trending in the world of spirits collecting? By Mark Spivak

ne night in March 2013, a gang of burglars broke into the cellars of Domaine Jacques Selosse, one of Champagne’s most elite small growers and producers, and stole 3,700 bottles worth an estimated $500,000. They also made off with 16,000 labels and 12,000 neck collars, which indicated to authorities that the thieves intended to manufacture fakes. The purloined bottles had already been packaged and labeled for export, making them difficult to resell without being spotted. The heist was newsworthy, but not unusual. In a sixmonth period that same year, there was a theft at a highend Bordeaux estate every 15 days. The targets included famous properties such as Château Palmer and Château

d’Yquem. In all, more than $1 million in wine was stolen before French police apprehended the ring of 20 professional thieves. Similar thefts have occurred in the world of spirits, notably last year’s disappearance of 200 bottles of Pappy Van Winkle, the world’s rarest and most expensive bourbon, from the Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky. These incidents had a number of things in common: They were all professional jobs (at Selosse, the gang used alcohol spray to eradicate traces of their DNA), the products were the best of their kind, and the producers were carefully targeted. Virtually all the properties were in remote rural areas where the thieves could operate undetected. In every case, the wines were not bottles

Thefts such as the one at Domaine Jacques Selosse’s cellars happened at properties in rural areas.

that could easily be sold on street corners or from the back of a truck. Supply of the top wines and spirits is finite, and competition to purchase them from legitimate sources is fierce. Some observers compared these events to the famous 1990 art heist at Boston’s Gardner Museum. In that robbery, two men dressed as police officers overpowered security guards and stole 13 paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Degas, and Manet. The thieves spent only a few minutes in the museum. They targeted specific works and seemed to know exactly where to find them. The paintings never surfaced on the black market, causing authorities to speculate that they were stolen for a private collector who gave the criminals a shopping list. The rash of wine burglaries conforms to the same pattern; according to British newspaper The Guardian, French detectives believe the wine was stolen to order. If so, we’ve opened the door on a strange new world of bespoke wine theft. It makes perfect sense in practical terms. Say you’re a billionaire collector who fancies 10 cases of 2000 Château Palmer for your cellar. You could buy them at auction (or, more likely, have an agent buy them for you), but it would likely take years to assemble the bunch. You also wouldn’t have an ironclad guarantee of where the wine had been or how it had been stored. You vvv could attempt to piece the 10 cases together from retail sources, but you’d face the same delays and concerns about provenance. Either

It is wise to go right to the producer when buying high-end wines like Champagne Jacques Selosse.

way, you’d have to have the bottles authenticated to avoid counterfeits. The best place to get your five cases of 1989 Palmer is from the château, because you can be assured the wine has never been moved and is in pristine condition—although the château will only sell the wine through traditional distribution channels. Most wine collectors are probably too principled, or too scared, to engage in such practices. If someone offers you a batch of Champagne Jacques Selosse at a bargain price, however, proceed with caution. «

Home Little Bit Country For this Indiantown residence, the team at John McDonald Co. custom-home builders worked with Mitch Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil of Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil Architect to construct a modern design in a country setting. This riverfront property presented quite the challenge, as the builders had to merge the edgy, exposed rafter elements and a central rock feature wall into one cohesive home. The shape of the main room is defined by ceiling beams made from glulam, while the floating shelves, tongue-and-groove ceiling, and wrapped columns are composed of cypress wood and accented by stainless steel brackets. The hickory floors add warmth when juxtaposed against the fireplace, constructed with field tiles from Ceramic Matrix in West Palm Beach. The stone walls, featuring an ochre blend from Norstone, are articulated both indoors and out, creating harmony with nature. Jupiter (561-747-

Then & Now SHE DOES WHAT SHE LOVES. “I won’t be at the club playing cards. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” This, from Joan Thomson when asked what she does in her “down time.” It appears none of this woman’s time is truly down. This may be her secret.

Joan Thomson is the matriarch and still one heartbeat of the pulse behind Waterfront Properties. She’s aware that some consider it unique that, at age 83, she still awakes excited at the prospect of coming to work. What some consider unique, she regards simply as living the life she’s almost always known. Over the last 30 years,Waterfront Properties has grown to be the northern Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast’s dominant luxury real estate company, single-handedly accounting for more waterfront real estate transactions than any other brokerage in the local area. In more than 20 southeastern Florida towns between Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Jupiter and Stuart, Waterfront Properties offers waterfront and club community properties from $250,000 to more than $50 million. Not bad for a business that got its start in a one-room office and, if Joan’s son Rob Thomson remembers correctly, hit its stride in the front seat of her car.

“My mom is awesome,” Rob says. “She’s an incredible partner and continues to be a mentor. She’ll never admit it, but she’s a true visionary. She’s tough. She’s encouraging. Few people possess her humility and genuineness.” Joan obtained her real estate license at age 37. That was in 1969, and she’s never looked back. She’s also never looked too far ahead. From then until now, she’s just done the work. She landed her first job with a Fort Lauderdale brokerage. “It was a great education,” she remembers. “My boss shared his trade secrets.” Joan worked in a one-room branch office of the Ft. Lauderdale firm on Tequesta Drive, traveling the state doing syndications. When asked if, as a woman, she was a pioneer during those early days, Joan replied, “No. I never really felt that. I only had one encounter with a man who flat refused to work with a woman.” She continued, “Real estate has always been a great place for women to forge

a career. You have to be smart. You have to be driven to succeed. But, you don’t have to have a formal education, though I did.” She added that women possess attributes that adapt extremely well to the real estate profession and can find a lot of satisfaction in it. “I never had any ambition to become what we are today. I was happy doing my business on Jupiter Island. I made quite a nice living.” From 1974 to 2009 Jupiter Island was, as she recalls, her “baby.” “In the mid-80’s it was just Rob and me in the first unit in our present location. We had a secretary doing some brochures. Rob did the Loxahatchee River. I was doing my Jupiter Island thing. We brought in a guy to do waterfront condos. And, so it went.” In 1987, after noticing that around 80% of her closings from the previous two years were waterfront homes or lots, Joan says

she made the best business decision of her career. “I changed our name to Waterfront Properties and decided to specialize—truly specialize—in waterfront properties. That was a big moment.” In her mid-50’s at the time, Joan says she wasn’t ready to go “gung ho.” But, Rob was. “He pushed it. My son had some really good ideas. I’m happy moving in step with his vision.Why not? He’s got a pretty good track record.” She called her partnership with Rob a union of great balance. She recounted how, over time, “Our ideas began to merge.” Joan has been married twice to the same man, Rob’s father. In 2010, he passed away. At about this time, Joan turned over the day-to-day business of Waterfront to Rob completely, but hers is no swan song. She is still heavily involved in the marketing aspect of the company, maintaining full control of the company’s complex and voluminous direct mail department, personally drafting

and proofing every single piece of collateral to leave the office.

see Mom’ isn’t something they say. Our lives intersect naturally.”

Today, Joan is an integral part of Waterfront’s training team, schooling new agents in what can only be called the Waterfront way. From contact to contracts, there’s a process. Asked if she taught the process’s fundamentals, allowing her charges to then make it their own, Joan gave another surprising answer, “Not so much!” Rob added, “No one tells a chili chef at the most popular restaurant in town that they want to add a few spices to make the house recipe their own.” Joan Thomson is the chef who perfected the original and still winning Waterfront recipe, and she remains a well-known and trusted expert in one of the nation’s trendiest zip codes.

Despite best intentions, this article simply could not be a look back. Joan Thomson has too much on the table in the here and now for that. Which means it’s probably safe to start the card game without her.

Clearly, Joan also still loves the job. “What else would I do? I know how busy my sons are. My work life actually keeps me involved and vital in their lives. It’s great! ‘I have to

Power Avocado

Move over, apples: It turns out avocados might be giving you a run for your money in keeping the doctor away. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found eating an avocado a day as part of a diet rich in healthy fats may help lower LDL, known as bad cholesterol. For five weeks, researchers studied 45 overweight and obese individuals who followed three cholesterol-lowering diets: a low-fat diet and two moderate-fat diets, one of which included a daily avocado. Ultimately, the one with the avocado resulted in a 10-percent drop in LDL levels, compared with an approximate 5-percent decrease for the other diets. Pass the guacamole. (heart.org)

West Palm Beach entrepreneur Andrew Sneath originally developed the Robodolphin as a fun toy and activity for high-end pool resorts. He soon realized, however, his mechanical dolphin could be helpful to children on the autism spectrum. According to Autism Speaks, kids with autism are often attracted to water, so teaching them to swim can be vital. The Robodolphin not only assists in learning to swim but also can be used in aquatic therapy, which can be a fun and effective addition to an autism therapy plan. (robodolphin.com) Wrapping hair into a ponytail is a skill many take for granted. Sara Uhrig, a registered occupational therapist and certified hand therapist based in Tequesta, created the One-Handed Ponytail Device so people who have only one functional hand or arm can tie their manes without assistance. The device is composed of a button and pulley that forms two circles of elastic and is sold in a kit with six ties. (one-handedponytail.com)

It feeds this data via Bluetooth to the UP app and Smart Coach system, which tracks progress and gives personalized guidance.

shining Light Part-time Palm Beacher and full-time philanthropist Audrey Gruss wants to bring awareness to a condition few discuss but from which many suffer. “Depression is a medical illness,” Gruss says. “The difficulty is that you can see a broken leg, but you can’t see when your mind has a break in it.” In 2006, Gruss founded the Hope for Depression Research Foundation, which funds scientific research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of depression. Above all, Gruss hopes to get people talking about depression, which affects more than 19 million Americans each year, according to Mental Health America. Gruss’ mission is a personal one. Her mother, Hope, dealt with clinical depression most of her adult life. “For decades, we saw my mother go through this psychic pain, and I felt so helpless,” Gruss says. She created Hope for Depression to honor her mother’s memory and to aid others in obtaining emotional and psychological well-being. “The irony is that her name was Hope, and that’s what I think in the last eight years we’ve given to the field,” Gruss says. Besides awareness, Gruss believes the progress, or lack thereof, made in finding treatments is the biggest hurdle those with depression face. As she points out, medications have altered little in the past 30 years, leaving few options for those suffering from treatment-resistant depression. “I think the combination of talk therapy with newer, more personalized medication is what should be done in the future,” she says. To that end, the foundation formed the Depression Task Force, a group of seven prominent neuroscientists who are working on a research plan that aims to create an animal model of depression to identify new forms of treatment. Though based at separate institutions in the United States and Canada, these scientists are sharing their results in real time, allowing for a rapid

The Depression Task Force comprises neuroscientists who share research in real time.

exchange of information. At two years into a three-year study, the task force has already identified three potential genes and three enzymes that might be targets for new treatments. While the task force toils away, Gruss concerns herself with raising awareness. She hosts seminars in Palm Beach and New York as well as other philanthropic events like the Hope Designer Showcase at the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art, and Antique Show. These efforts are supported by the foundation’s Arts Committee, an auxiliary group composed of members of the arts community. “Creative people are so sensitive in certain ways that they definitely have a higher incidence of depression,” Gruss says. She describes her mother as wonderfully creative, with a love of writing, music, and dancing. Whether accomplished through artists or scientists, the missions that propel Hope for Depression are vital to creating vibrant lives for those with depression. For Gruss, the foundation is no longer defined by her own experience with depression but by the millions of individuals her organization will help. “The emotional and psychological well-being of everyone is as important as the physical wellbeing,” she says. “It’s important to deal with the inside as well as the outside.” (561-515-6454, hopefordepression.org)

living longer

What does it take to live to be 100 years old? Longevity expert and National Geographic explorer Dan Buettner spent more than a decade traveling the world to crack the centenarian code. He and a team of scientists interviewed hundreds of centenarians and identified what he refers to as Blue Zones: areas around the world with high concentrations of people who not only lived to be 100 but also did so without suffering from diabetes, heart disease, or obesity. Buettner published these findings in a book that made The New York Times’ 2008 bestseller list and has now released a new book, The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People (National Geographic Books, $26). This title aims to help Americans live longer and encourages implementing large-scale community changes to replicate Blue Zones throughout the country. On a microlevel, The Blue Zones Solution is packed with tips and recipes for eating like a Blue Zone centenarian. In addition to identifying super foods from each region, Buettner outlines many healthy eating habits observed in these areas, including having the smallest meal of the day in the late afternoon or evening, consuming mostly plants and beans, and drinking alcohol moderately but frequently, such as one to two glasses each day. Above all, Buettner stresses that longevity is dependent not solely on dieting but also on participating in beneficial social circles, taking time to relax, committing to family, and being physically active.

Dark Enchantment

Left: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Dr. Edie Widder, Dr. Steve Bernstein. Right: Heads or Tails, Dr. Edie Widder, Dr. Steve Bernstein.

Even before Herman Melville’s classic tale about that elusive white whale became required reading, deep-sea dwellers were getting a bum rap for bad behavior. Not anymore. The Elliot Museum’s new photo exhibition, “Illuminating the Deep: Explore. Learn. Act.,” offers a rare and colorful glimpse into the planet’s last frontier, where bioluminescent marine animals hold court. On display through December 13, the exhibition showcases squids, sea cucumbers, anglerfish, and other underwater wildlife originally photographed by Dr. Edie Widder, a renowned marine biologist and co-founder of the Ocean Research & Conservation Association in Fort Pierce. Widder’s colleague, Dr. Steve Bernstein, then digitally enhanced the images and printed them onto aluminum, resulting in Technicolor works of art. “Illuminating the Deep” also allows visitors to explore the seismic proportions of a giant squid and swap ideas about water preservation via an impact wall. Art and science in one exhibition? We’re hooked. Stuart (772-225-1961, elliottmuseumfl.org) —Kerry Shorr

In 1992, jewelry designer Tamara Comolli launched her line of ultraluxe, bohemian-chic baubles. A flagship store in the Hamptons, three boutiques in Europe, and an outpost in Palm Beach followed. Now, she spends most days jetting off to far-flung locations like Mozambique, Tibet, and Madagascar to source exotic gems for her hallmark designs, which celebrate color and shape. A native of Munich, she loves spending time with her family and sketching at her company’s headquarters located near Lake Tegernsee in Germany.
