Living and giving in beautiful South Florida Your friends and neighbors who work at Wells Fargo love it here as much as you do, so we asked each of our South Florida banking stores and business banking offices to select a local nonprofit or school to receive a grant from our Community Partners Program. That way, we can help financially, and our team members can stay engaged and volunteer with their favorite organizations all year long. We believe we can only be as strong as the communities in which we live and work. That’s why in 2012 Wells Fargo contributed more than $16 million to nonprofits in Florida. Wells Fargo is proud to support local nonprofit organizations and their work to make our community a better place.

It can’t be season, can it? It seems we ask that question every year. Although our region’s social season officially begins this month, it feels like a year-round occasion for us. Summer, no longer the slow time of the year, is spent planning upcoming events with our partners. Among charitable, client and corporate affairs, we are seriously busy. One event we have been involved with for years is Children’s Home Society’s Ultimate Dinner Party. We’re proud to be the magazine sponsor of this year’s spectacular fête, held November 20 at various Palm Beach residences. Dinner guests are welcomed into some of the island’s most beautiful homes to enjoy a private gourmet meal prepared by chefs from the American Culinary Federation. While the event lasts only for an evening, the impact from the proceeds raised lasts a lifetime. Cora Brown, regional director of philanthropy for CHS, says 13 of the nonprofit’s programs rely on donations from fundraising efforts such as the Ultimate Dinner Party. These programs include Transitions Home, a group home for homeless teen mothers and their babies; Project 18, an after-school program that prepares foster youth for independent living when they turn 18; Safe Harbor, Palm Beach County’s only emergency shelter for runaway and atrisk youth; and adoption services. In Palm Beach County, the organization is responsible for finding forever families for all foster children who cannot return to their birthparents. This month is also the beginning of our cultural season and the issue in which we publish the Art and Culture Guide, attached to page 113. Take a look and see what you might enjoy among the myriad offerings from area theaters, museums and attractions. Thanks to the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, which partners with and helps fund the arts in our area, we all get to enjoy exhibits and events at the Kravis Center, the Flagler Museum, the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum, the Armory Art Center, the Norton Museum, the Boca Museum of Art, the Maltz Jupiter Theatre and so many more. Whatever is on your calendar this season, I hope you’re enjoying events from Boca Raton through Vero Beach. There is much to celebrate—and more to come.

From the Editor
I always look forward to the beginning of another season, and I’m sure I’m not alone. Anticipating the arrival of friends from all corners of the globe and the heady buzz of a packed-to-therafters social calendar is very exciting, indeed. One of the pleasures of living here is the wealth of cultural activities. Sometimes I hear people saying the Palm Beaches lack culture, and I have to wonder whether these skeptics have been out and about lately. The cultural scene has exploded in the past few years, with the addition of such institutions as Delray Beach’s Arts Garage, Palm Beach Dramaworks, Symphonia Boca Raton and the new Wick Theatre—all of which are bringing interesting and thought-provoking cultural experiences to the Palm Beach stage. In addition, new galleries are springing up everywhere, and the venerable arts bastions—the Kravis Center, the Norton Museum of Art, the Palm Beach International Film Festival—are expanding and evolving to enrich audiences. If you have any doubt, turn to page 68 and check out our “Cultural Preview 2013-14,” a thrilling and hyper-informative 10-page guide to performances and exhibits we’re anticipating this season. The lineup includes a little of everything: the Kravis Broadway series; new initiatives for the expansion of the Film Festival; Q&As with Palm Beach Opera’s Daniel Biaggi, Miami City Ballet’s Lourdes Lopez and even The Rockettes; new and intriguing gallery exhibits; a roundup of theater offerings and more, more, more (with apologies to Billy Idol). For a quick glance at upcoming events this month and next, all organized in calendar format, pull out and save our “Arts, Entertainment & Culture Guide,” tipped on to page 113. We will publish another guide in January and again in March to make it easy for you to get your cultural fix. Another story I’m excited about is our profile on Lola Astanova. Lola, whose glamorous photo graces our cover this month, has been dubbed a piano “prodigy” and a “YouTube sensation.” In my estimation, she is an extremely talented yet grounded young lady whose very presence is shaking up classical music—for the better. Her accessible style, a product of her beauty and rock ’n roll edge, is, in essence, bringing Rachmaninoff and Chopin to the next generation of listeners. Who can argue with that? Read about the tour de force that is Lola on page 62. I hope our focus on the cultural scene will get you revved up for an exciting season ahead. Enjoy the issue!

Sea salt and caramel— what could be better? I’ve recently discovered Salt & Ayre chocolates from Harbor Sweets, featuring such ingredients as Himalayan sea salt, Thai ginger and Indian chai, and have fallen in love with the sweet and savory flavor combinations.

I am obsessed with Kara Ross’ inspired new line, the Petra Collection. Launching this month, Petra (Greek for stone) is a celebration of the gemstone in its various forms. I love the push-and-pull between raw and polished stones; the rings (shown here) are particularly stunning.

Walk around a public area this month and you may notice something different: a colorful piano, just begging to be
played. From November 2-17, baby grand and upright pianos, whimsically painted by local artists, will be displayed in com-
munity places from Palm Beach Gardens to Delray Beach, including Via Amore, CityPlace and Downtown at the Gardens.
Donated by the Jupiter-based Kretzer Piano Music Foundation, the pianos are part of an initiative called Keys to the
Cities, a project the foundation organized to demonstrate its mission: to provide music and performing opportunities to everyone, particularly children. While professional musicians will stop by to perform public concerts, anyone who finds a piano is welcome—and encouraged—to tickle the ivories. At the end of the project, the instruments will be donated to local children’s and community nonprofits, ensuring they’ll be played for years to come. (561-748-0036, kretzerpiano.com)

Dear Pen Pal
Alsofrom sightseeing with her pen pal's family in July.
In her sophomore year of high school, Sarah Alsofrom paid 50 cents to participate in a pen pal program. Soon, she received the address of Karine Bogdanoff, a girl her age in France, a country Alsofrom had always wanted to visit. Through handwritten letters, the girls talked about their daily lives: school, their families and hobbies. They discovered they had shared interests, including books, sports and horses, and neither had a sibling. Writing in English, they grew closer through the mailbox, even sending each other birthday presents, Christmas gifts and photos. More than two decades after the first letter, Alsofrom is now the executive director of development and community relations at the Hanley Center Foundation. Bogdanoff, who lives in Avignon, France, is married with two teenaged children. But despite how much their lives have changed, one thing remains the same: The letters still arrive in the mail. “There is fascination in knowing that whatever worldwide momentous or even tumultuous events are happening, people in some other part of our globe sit down with their own families and have dinner,” Alsofrom says. “There is something so simple yet profound in that thought.” After years of knowing each other only on paper, Alsofrom traveled to France in July to meet her long-term pen pal for the first time, spending two weeks sightseeing and bonding in person. “Until we met, our friendship was like that of two spectators,” Alsofrom says. “We looked into one another’s lives from afar, dependent on each other for descriptions and subjective observations.” Despite the advent of email, Alsofrom maintains her long-distance friendship via handwritten correspondence. But the letters don’t just come from France; Alsofrom also receives mail from Australia, where she’s been writing to pen pal Rachel Caldwell since the age of 13. “This, however, is another 50-cent story,” she says.

Modern Drama Who: Georgina Chapman, co-designer of Marchesa with Keren Craig The look: Stunning eveningwear inspired by vintage silhouettes with a modern flair the backstory: Founded in 2004 by best friends Chapman and Craig. the two brits, both 37, met while studying at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London Seen on: The red carpet, on stars like Jennifer Lopez, Sienna Miller, Cate Blanchett, Penelope Cruz and Jessica Alba.
By Linda Marx How do your designs capture the spirit of your muse, the late socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati? She was a living work of art and was so daring and dramatic in the way she dressed—an ideal I strive to achieve in each collection. Her outfits often looked more like costumes than clothing. I trained as a costume designer in school, so I create through that lens and adapt for the modern-day woman. What daily activity influences your collections? For our recent Spring collection, I was taken by the spirit of India in the 1960s, especially as captured by The Beatles’ White Album and the band’s relationship with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I utilized a vivid color palette and featured traditional Indian beading and embroidery techniques throughout.

We wanted to capture the essence of our brand but at a more accessible price point. … Marchesa Voyage is a glamorous, effortless and seasonless global lifestyle, whether a woman is traveling to a remote island, going to work or running errands on the weekend. What is your impression of Palm Beach? I have never been, but I adore the Palm Beach lifestyle, which to me means relaxing with great weather and beautiful greenery. I have also heard great things about the vintage shops, which are supposed to be amazing. I hope to visit in the near future. How do you balance being a mother and wife with your work? I am very lucky to have an incredible support system, including my mother, who recently moved to New York to be closer to us. I also have the luxury of bringing [children] India and Dashiell to work with me, as I hate being apart from them. India loves playing with fabrics and beading.

There is nothing more attractive to a frazzled parent of young kids than pushing a button to call a butler and have him arrange nanny service, show tickets, dinner reservations or lobster tail and rosé Champagne à deux. When that happens on a cruise ship, it isn’t just attractive; it’s a godsend. Seamless butler service is the calling card and distinct advantage of Crystal Cruises. There is precious little these professionals won’t do. Throw them a curveball (we asked for a babysitter

with 10 minutes’ notice), and watch them shine (she was there in nine). It is an integral part of shutting out all worldly pressures and tedious details so you can journey in carefree bliss. And it truly is bliss, beginning with the accommodations. The almost-500-square-foot Penthouse Suites have a separate living room with a big mahogany desk (if you must work) and bar area stocked with complimentary beverages, plus a huge veranda that is a must during those early-morning approaches to ports of call or sunsets at sea. The appointments are equivalent to those of a luxury hotel: Egyptian cotton linens, featherbeds, down pillows (or nonallergenic alternatives) and silk brocade bedding. Don’t be surprised if, between the luxe cocoon of the beds and the gentle movement of the ship, you have the best night’s sleep you’ve had in a while. At 982 square feet, the Crystal Penthouse is more like a chic apartment with amenities like floor-toceiling windows, a library, an exercise room and a powder room with a crystal pedestal sink. This year, Crystal also launches its new PURE staterooms for allergy sufferers. Serenity, one of two Crystal ships, will be in dry dock this month so 70 of its staterooms can be transformed through deep disinfection with nonchemical cleaners and installation of air purification, bacteriostatic barriers, allergy-friendly bedding and antimicrobial sanitizers. Sensitive or not, guests will definitely be able to breathe easier and feel better for those fascinating excursions. And that, of course, is a highlight of cruising. One of the unique Crystal offerings, available on both the Serenity and its sister ship, Symphony, is its collection of shore adventures. Here’s a short list: private cooking lessons with a Michelinstarred chef in Taormina; rainforest zip lines in Hawaii; gorilla tracking in Uganda; trekking on Mount Kinabalu in Borneo; volunteering in an orphanage in Cambodia as part of the line’s Voluntourism Adventures program; and trekking in the Chilean Andes. There are more than 2,000 options and the ability to customize a private adventure. Almost anything is possible. 52

Silk Road, a Nobu Matsuhisa restaurant, is an intimate dining venue with amazing Asian cuisine and sushi you’d never expect to find outside of a major urban center. Do not miss the salmon tartare with sevruga (left) or the mushroom broth served in a Japanese tea kettle. Once every sailing, the Palm Court on the Lido Deck presents a Mozart Tea, with servers dressed in eighteenth-century Viennese costumes offering things like mini Linzer and Sacher tortes, and rum-spiked hot chocolate “Amadeus.” Indulge now, hit the gym later. Cheese lovers, ask to meet the cheese sommelier. These individuals, all certified by the International Cheese Academy (yes, there is such a thing) in Austria, will help you distinguish between an erborinato and an époisses.

Blade Runner BMW’s radical new i8 plug-in hybrid supercar is set to deliver electrifying performance By Howard Walker In 1968, the acclaimed (though wacky) sci-fi scribe Philip K. Dick posed the eternal question Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? His novel was the basis for the Harrison Ford cult movie Blade Runner. Had Dick been around 45 years later to experience the unwrapping of BMW’s phantasmagoric lithium-ion-juiced i8, he might have rephrased the question and inquired Do Androids Dream of Electric Supercars? Dick would have gotten a serious kick out of climbing behind the wheel of this new i8. He dreamed of a world of futuristic flying cars zooming between skyscrapers, of sleek two-seaters with the kind of styling not dissimilar to the look of this radical new BMW. But this i8 isn’t some wild blue-sky concept designed for the babyboomer Android set. It lands here in the United States this spring with a $135,925 sticker—that’s before any state cash-backs—begging the question: What’s so special about that Ferrari 458? In addition to its jaw-descending styling, the i8 offers zero-to-60 mph acceleration in a mere 4.3 seconds yet the ability to whirr in zero58
emission, electric-only mode for as many as 22 miles. Flat out, it’ll do 155, yet it can average an astonishing 94 to the gallon. There’s so much technology and advanced thinking in this new BMW it could have been funded by NASA. Case in point is its lightweight and super-strong carbon-fiber body structure, made of cloths and fibers that came out of a joint venture with Boeing. Then there’s the glass. As part of BMW’s laser-like focus on shaving weight, the i8 features so-called “thin glass” for the window between the cabin and the engine compartment. It’s the same chemically hardened stuff—wafer-thin Corning Gorilla Glass—used for the iPhone screen. As expected, most of the chassis and suspension components are made from featherlight aluminum. Yet to shave every little ounce,

f
our years ago, Russian-American virtuoso pianist Lola Astanova sat at her Steinway and pressed “record” on a video camera. What happened next was a happy little YouTube accident. “Okay, so a lot of you have probably heard the song ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ by Rihanna, and I happen to like that song as well,” Astanova says in the clip, nervously rubbing her denimclad knee. “So here’s my take on it … something different … which was a lot of fun to do. And that’s my gift to her, and I hope you guys enjoy it.” For the next four minutes, Astanova’s fingers blazed up and down the piano, infusing the bright dance tune with the fire and force of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s classical piano concertos. When she was done, she took a deep breath and then giggled. That was more than 1.5 million views ago. Now, Astanova can rightfully call herself not only a YouTube sensation but also one of the most exciting things to happen to classical music since the Three Tenors—Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras—reintroduced opera to the masses a little more than 20 years ago. “She is a very passionate and sensitive pianist with great charisma,” says Ramon Tebar, conductor of the Palm Beach Symphony, which performed with Astanova for the first time two years ago. “Our audience loves her. She has a superb technique that allows her not only to play the most demanding repertoire but serves her well to communicate the ideas and conceptions of the work she plays.” Astanova was born in the former Soviet Union, where as a little girl she became curious about her mother’s upright piano. Her mother taught piano out of their home and didn’t want young Lola to pursue a music career because it was so difficult. Her father, a mechanical engineer, thought music lessons would be good for his intensely curious daughter. Astanova’s mother relented, and Lola took to the piano “like a tornado,” she says. By age 6, she was studying at the V. Uspensky Specialized School of Music for Gifted Children under Tamara Popovich, the school’s most famous teacher. By age 8, she was giving

performances alone and with orchestras in Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Russia. By age 13, she was featured in a UNESCO documentary called Prodigies of the 20th Century even though she says she never took that “prodigy” label seriously. “I enjoyed being competitive that way and even with other kids,” she says, adding she had a normal childhood where she was allowed to play with friends and have Barbie dolls. “That environment was very good for studying and for being creative and learning. But I also went to school with kids who were so talented that the level was just so much higher than what you would normally see among kids that age.” Still, she said she did feel the pressure that came with being a student at an elite music school. “You felt that people were expecting you to play well and that your teacher was strict and pushed you to the limit,” she says. “I think that is hard as a child, especially. So I felt that responsibility and it helped me mature faster because my teacher wouldn’t talk to my mother about things like performing or whether I prepared. She would talk to me and I would have to explain myself. That was terrifying.” Terror aside, for a reserved young woman the piano was also a release, an instrument that allowed her to open up and show her passion and emotion to the world. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Astanova knew it was time to experience a different life where she could pursue an arts career seriously. After considering various conservatories and teachers in Europe, Astanova got a special skills and abilities visa in 2000 and moved to Houston, where her older brother lived. Although she studied music at Rice University and with various American teachers, she traveled home frequently to study at the Moscow State Conservatory with Popovich and Lev Naumov, who is considered the godfather of the Russian piano school.

She is a very passionate and sensitive pianist with great charisma. Our audience loves her.
“[Naumov] taught the old way of piano, and in one lesson with him, you would have an awakening of sorts,” Astanova says. “He would be so specific in what he wanted from you, yet so gentle and strict. He knew so much about piano that it was overwhelming, and I was fortunate to have a teacher like him in my life.” Although Astanova had been performing since her youth, her performance at the Classical Superstars Fantasy Concert in 2008 was a career changer, meriting not only attention from the mainstream press but also a placement in the Neiman Marcus catalog. “People started noticing me after that and inviting me to do certain performances,” says Astanova, who has performed for the September 11 Memorial on Vladimir Horowitz’s Steinway piano and at Carnegie Hall. “It had a lot of mainstream appeal that maybe not a lot of classical music projects have for one reason or another. But these were very lucrative, exclusive engagements that were very good steps for me.”

For one thing, audiences were taking notice of the glamorous young woman at the keys. “Lola has an extraordinary ability to communicate with the audience,” says Misha Levintas, her manager. “Every time she takes the stage, I know there are people in the audience who are touched in the most profound way. I have witnessed it on many occasions, and to me that is more valuable than any critical acclaim or financial success. It is what performing art is all about.” Still, Astanova is very hard on herself. “It’s my personality,” she says. “You take all the good things for granted and try to improve on all the things you think you can do better. It’s the discipline from growing up and working with the teachers I’ve had that were perfectionists and wanted every little detail to be perfect. I’m very critical of myself and wish I could change that, but I don’t think I can so it doesn’t make life easier for me.” Another thing she can’t change: her passion for high fashion. Despite her obvious musical talents, some listeners pay a lot of attention to Astanova’s striking looks, glamorous style and seemingly impractical stilettos. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it,” says Astanova, a self-described beauty product junkie who is known to wear gowns by Chanel and Tom Ford, among other designers. “The founding fathers of classical music—Wagner, Liszt, Chopin and so on—were very fashionable people who dressed impeccably. I read a story about Chopin once where he was complaining about how he couldn’t afford to buy this fabulous pair of gloves he had seen. So that’s how we know he was into fashion. There’s nothing wrong with that. I think it’s a sign of respect for the audience, who dresses up and sees a night of classical music as a social outing.” When she’s not performing or practicing, Astanova says she likes to spend time at the beach or by the pool. She’s an avid reader too, devouring everything from Russian fiction by Fyodor
Dostoevsky to philosophical tracts by Arthur Schopenhauer. The latter, it’s worth noting, wrote the world was driven by a continually dissatisfied will and continually sought satisfaction, a philosophy that must speak to the perfectionist Astanova. “I will always try to take chances and experiment,” she says. “I do not think that classical music can remain the same as it was 100 years ago. I will always try to do something that feels interesting or unusual or could be exciting for the audience. That’s the purpose of an artist, to ask questions, rather than have all the answers.” Astanova visits Palm Beach frequently and says she is fortunate to have forged so many friendships in the town. “It is a wonderful community and I always love performing there because I feel like people love classical music and are knowledgeable about it,” she says. Astanova will spend the fall touring Europe, Australia and the United States. At press time, the Palm Beach Symphony was negotiating two concerts with Astanova for its next season. Astanova will also be developing more videos for her YouTube series “La Musique et L’Ardeur” (Music and Passion), which features interviews with and performances by the pianist in high-definition video. Although Van Cliburn and Chopin didn’t have Twitter accounts, Astanova does, and she keeps fans updated about her performances, interviews and downtime at @followlola. Social media is helping her connect with a new generation of classical music lovers, she says. “Nowadays, I think some of the biggest pop stars shoot to get videos on YouTube because that’s where people get their information now,” she says. “If you have something to say, your career will continue.” And the fans who keep on clicking on Astanova’s videos will make sure she’s heard loud and clear. «

The Vero Beach Museum of art The Vero Beach Museum of Art consistently does an outstanding job of highlighting unique art mediums. Whether it displays American quilts, recycled marionettes or costumes from the stage and screen, the museum illustrates it needn’t be oil on canvas to be art. With the exhibition “Dale Kennington: Mythologies” on display January 25 to May 4, the museum welcomes yet another medium: wooden folding screens. Following the death of her husband in 2002, Kennington painted a series of these screens focusing on the themes of human presence and community as well as loneliness and isolation. The screens—which are influenced by the aesthetic of Asian folding screens—and the paintings upon them can be manipulated depending on the angle of the screen. These subtle changes add many layers to Kennington’s realism-style vignettes. (772-231-0707, verobeachmuseum.org)
Rosenbaum Contemporary This season, Rosenbaum Contemporary in Boca Raton is celebrating love and hope through the lens of renowned American artist Robert Indiana. “Voices of HOPE: Celebrating Robert Indiana” will be on display through May 30, coinciding with the Whitney Museum of American Art’s retrospective of Indiana’s work. Best known for his sculpture and printmaking, Indiana’s work appears in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This exhibit highlights the artist’s “HOPE” series—first initiated in 2008—as well as his innovative use of color and manipulation of text as art, in the vein of his iconic LOVE piece of the 1960s.

of Art
Pop art has been part of the American
art lexicon since the 1950s, but how has it influenced subsequent generations of artists? With “Pop Culture: Selections From the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation,” the Boca Museum of Art seeks to examine the original propelling concepts of pop art and the ways in which contemporary artists interpret the same visual themes. On display from January 12 to April 23, this exhibition traces the evolution of pop art idioms, such as mass culture and consumerism, from the inception of the movement through present day. (561-392-2500, bocamuseum.org)
Meghan Candler Gallery For more than a decade, the Meghan Candler Gallery in Vero Beach has showcased original works by nationally recognized artists. This season is no exception.

The Norton Museum of Art Art is jewelry. Jewelry is art. The Norton Museum of Art will put this thesis to the test when it welcomes “David Webb: Society’s Jeweler” January 16 to April 13. Webb’s jewelry personified the cheeky yet extravagant style of American aestheticism in the mid-twentieth century, with pieces rooted in modernity but created from high-end materials including jade and coral. This retrospective— the first ever of Webb’s work—will feature 80 pieces as well as preparatory sketches, photographs and advertisements. Before you view the exhibit, peruse Ruth Peltason’s book David Webb: The Quintessential American Jeweler (Assouline, $85) and familiarize yourself with the brand’s rock-star aesthetic.

For the latest in contemporary classical performance, attend the Calder Quartet on January 19. This group performs at locales such as the Mostly Mozart Festival as well as rock concerts with bands like The National. (561-655-2776, fourarts.org)
For Palm Beachers, great symphonic music is never in short supply. That’s due in part to the Palm Beach Symphony. Throughout the past 40 years, Palm Beach’s premier symphony has performed at the area’s top destinations and with the genre’s top performers. For its ruby anniversary season, the symphony will perform six concerts, each in a different venue: the Eissey Campus Theatre, the Society of the Four Arts, the Flagler Museum, the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, the Mar-a-Lago Club and the Kravis Center. Our top pick for the season is the “Four Decades, Forty Years, Four Arts” performance taking place at the Society of the Four Arts on December 4. The program, which features Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 Opus 60, is the official kickoff to the symphony’s season. (561-655-2657, palmbeachsymphony.org)
Flagler Music Series The Flagler Museum has a longstanding relationship with classical music: Henry Morrison Flagler and wife Mary Lily would host performances in Whitehall’s Music Room, and Henry Harkness Flagler (HMF’s son) was the chairman of the New York Philharmonic Society. This family tradition carries on with the Flagler Museum Music Series. This season, patrons can experience a plethora of classical talent from around the world, including South Korea, the Czech Republic and Mexico. From January through March, the music series will host quartets, soloists and trios with technical prowess and symphonic style to spare. With musicians as varied as the Shanghai Quartet and Cuarteto Latinoamericano, each performance will be a unique experience. One thing each event has in common: Attendees are invited to a Champagne and dessert reception with The Atos Trio (top) will perform February 18 and the Talich Quartet the performers following final bows.

For Lourdes Lopez, becoming the artistic director of Miami City Ballet in 2012 was a homecoming. Though she spent her professional dance life at the New York City Ballet, she emigrated from Cuba to Miami at a young age. Miami is where Lopez first fell in love with dance, and Miami is where dance has led her. “I think it’s a very interesting time for Miami City Ballet right now, because it’s a very interesting time for Miami,” Lopez says, the sun shining through her office window. On the wall hangs a painting of a young Lopez with her mentor, choreographer George Balanchine. A signature reads: “To my dear Mona Lisa Lourdes, with love, Leonardo Balanchine.” Lopez met Balanchine when she was studying at the School of American Ballet as a young teenager. “At the end of the year, we would do these graduating performances, and he came in to watch the workshop rehearsal,” she says. So began a professional relationship that would inform both the type of dancer and the type of teacher she would become. “Mr. Balanchine believed that ballet was akin to a religion. He always made us feel that we were great—not that we were great dancers, but as dancers we were already gifted, that we were already special," she says. As a female artistic director, Lopez is, in fact, special. Of the 20 largest ballet companies in America, only two are led by women. “I’m a very lucky case,” Lopez says. “But I don’t wake up in the mornings and think, ‘I’m one of the few female artistic directors.’ I wake up thinking, ‘What am I going to do for this company?’”

reinterpretations of Broadway classics including West Side Story and Don Quixote. The season reflects Lopez’s commitment to the company’s established repertory and a desire to introduce new pieces to the dancers and the community. When it comes down to it, however, it’s not about Lopez, her dancers or the community—it’s about the discipline. “Balanchine very much believed you left your ego at the door when you went into the theater,” she says. “You were not there for yourself. It wasn’t about you, and it wasn’t about him; it was about the art form.” (305-929-7000, miamicityballet.org) Lopez put the company first when she began as artistic director in September 2012, nine months ahead of schedule. She’d been tapped to replace company founder Edward Villella at the end of the 2012-13 season. When Villella unexpectedly resigned September 4, Lopez found herself moving to Florida without her family and months early. “I couldn’t think. I had to hit the ground running,” she says. The 2013-14 season—which will come to the Kravis Center— is the first conceived and executed with Lopez at the helm. Each program is a pastiche of recent and contemporary works, ranging from ballet standards like Balanchine’s “Serenade” to

Palm Beach Opera Daniel Biaggi (left), the general director of Palm Beach Opera, lets his eyes do the talking—or, more accurately, the singing. Chatting at the PBO offices in downtown West Palm Beach, he meets each question with an enthusiastic eyebrow raise or a meditative blue stare. His eyes tell the story of a man in love with the art of opera. Biaggi, a classically trained singer originally from Switzerland, has been with Palm Beach Opera since 2005, serving as general director since 2009. Armed with both an artistic and producing background, he approaches managing the company from a personal and enthusiastic place. He sat down with PBI to discuss his philosophy for running an opera company and what viewers can expect from the 2014 season. What first sparked your interest in opera? The overall experience, the combination between music and drama and design and construction and project management. I came originally as a singer to the field. So, it was vocally driven in the beginning, but then it turned into this overall fascination of all the many puzzle pieces that have to come together in order to create the show. What is your philosophy for running an opera company in the twenty-first century? We have to think of ourselves as a cultural institution but also as a service organization. We have to make sure we anchor ourselves into the community, not only by what we put on the main stage but primarily what we also do outside of the opera house so that no community could envision itself without the opera company. That manifests itself through educational programming, outreach programming, through taking things out of the opera house—like this big waterfront concert in December, a big dream of mine that is actually happening. How do plan your main stage opera season? [It’s a] great puzzle, always. We set certain parameters as part of our vision. We want to be international, we want to make sure we have a broad spectrum of repertoire, we want to make sure we can always have something that’s a little lesser known, but we have to balance that with something that’s really well known to create a great first experience for first-comers. And then we sit down with our 20, 25 titles we would like to do and we figure out what will work with what. We see what singers, conductors, directors are available, and sometimes we change repertoire based on that. In the 2014 season, which opera is the familiar one and which one pushes the envelope? I think the most unfamiliar here—as an operatic piece—is probably Macbeth. It’s not produced that often, simply be-
74
cause it’s very difficult to cast, especially for the soprano, Lady Macbeth. And then the familiar one is Barber of Seville; everybody knows “Figaro,” everybody knows Bugs Bunny. What would you like the community to know about Palm Beach Opera? If I had one wish, then it’s for the community to stop worrying about culture. We’re here, and we’ve been resilient. It’s my big hope that people have faith in organizations and realize that they are part of their future, rather than say, “Oh, we don’t know if the theater is going to be here, if the museum is going to make it.” We’re continuing to work towards the future. So, I am very excited. I’ve never felt as good about the company as I do now. (561-833-7888, pbopera.org)

The Palm Beach
International
Film Festival Since 1996, the Palm Beach International Film Festival has brought filmmakers and movie enthusiasts to Palm Beach County. The 2014 festival, taking place April 3-10, will include premieres, parties and events the public has come to expect as well as the addition of an education component and a membership program in partnership with the Sundance Institute. Executive and Artistic Director Randi Emerman has seen the festival evolve and believes it is an integral part of the Palm Beach County arts community. “The name ‘Palm Beach’ is synonymous with culture, and we should have a premier film festival here,” Emerman says. “It should be what it is and even more.” One of the most important aspects of the festival is its relationship with international filmmakers and commitment to bringing less-publicized films to the area. Attendees can catch films from Cuba, Russia and Israel, to name a few, as well as American films that have flown under the radar. “You’re not going to see these films anywhere else,” Emerman says. This year, Emerman plans on expanding local and national partnerships. In addition to adding a new theater—the Cinemark Palace in Boca Raton—PBIFF
is embarking on a year-round education program in partnership with the Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square. Beginning this month, PBIFF will host movie and lecture series as well as classes on the film industry. On a national scale, the festival is embarking on a membership program in conjunction with the Sundance Institute. This new relationship allows for synergy between the two organizations—giving select PBIFF members access to exclusive Sundance events throughout the year—and will boost the overall profile of PBIFF.

When the Caldwell Theatre in Boca Raton closed in 2012, the 30,000-square-foot space it occupied went dark. Now, the theater has found new life in the hands of the Wick family. Since the 1970s, Marilynn Wick has been acquiring Broadway costumes, amassing more than 1.2 million pieces valued at a total of $21 million. This collection was publicly displayed at a warehouse in Pompano Beach headed by Marilynn’s daughter, Kimberly, the museum director. When the Caldwell Theatre became available, the duo saw potential for growth. “It was such a sin that this building, this house of art, was sitting here unoccupied,” Kimberly says. “It felt like it needed life.” Since April, the pair has been renovating around the clock, preparing for the museum opening this month and an inaugural theater season, which began in September with The Sound of Music. The building now houses a museum space as well as a hat shop, a gift shop, a replica of the Tavern on the Green restaurant (deemed the Wick Tavern) and a number of spaces for rotating displays. The biggest addition to the Wick experience is the theater. Following renovations, including new sound and lighting systems, the 333-seat theater will now stage American Broadway classics. “For over 40 years, we’ve been the largest wardrober of American musical classic wardrobes, so we know that genre of the stage very well,” Kimberly says. Above all else, the Wicks hope to become an intricate part of the local arts community. “We need to listen to our audience and to their requests,” Kimberly says. “Our goal is to nurture this community.” (561-995-2333, thewick.org)

For something completely different, check out the theater’s new comedy series, featuring Bobby Collins on November 9 and a joint show titled “Ship Wrecked—A Hull of a Problem” with Carl Guerra and Michele Balan on March 28.

Palm Beach Dramaworks
When it comes to hidden gems,
West Palm Beach’s Palm Beach Dramaworks shines among the brightest. Since 2000, the company has delivered thought-provoking theater in intimate settings and has featured local talent. this season, Dramaworks will produce compelling dramas and sophisticated comedies, with a focus on rarely seen works. Our top picks fall at the end of the season: Dividing the Estate, onstage March 28 to April 27, and Tryst, May 16 to June 8. Written by Horton Foote and set in a fictional Texas town in 1987, Dividing the Estate follows the Gordon family members as they divvy up the estate of their mother and family matriarch, Stella. Foote, best known for his screenplay for To Kill a Mockingbird and
The new lobbies will feature images from past productions like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
his Pulitzer Prize-winning drama The Young Man from Atlanta, crafts fully formed comedic characters wrought with mortality and greed. Karoline Leach’s Tryst is the story of conman George Love, who attempts to take advantage of the wealthy and naïve Adelaide. Love’s plans are foiled in bizarre ways in this psychological thriller.

Arts Garage If you’re searching for an eclectic arts hub, look no farther than Arts Garage in Delray Beach. Its 2013-14 theater season showcases new works, wonderful playwrights and innovative theatrical formats. The Radio Theatre series stages one-night-only radio play versions of classics like It’s A Wonderful Life (December 12), Casablanca (February 6) and Sunset Boulevard (April 3). In late February, Arts Garage will stage Israel Horovitz’s humorous Fighting Over Beverley about a love triangle between three septuagenarians. The romantic comedy is a part of Horovitz’s cycle of Massachusetts-based plays. The Trouble with Doug, a contemporary adaptation of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, will close the season. This new musical illustrates familiar (and hilarious) Kafkaesque themes. (561-450-6357, artsgarage.org)

Maltz Jupiter Theatre On a muggy day in September, Producing Artistic Director Andrew Kato led a tour of an under-construction Maltz Jupiter Theatre. Renovations, which began in early spring, were in full swing: Hard hats were required for entry, power drills squealed and plywood mountains dominated the landscape. The completed renovations were unveiled in October, and the facelift enhances the overall audience experience. The efforts were made possible by a $2.5 million campaign funded by donors including Jupiter resident Roe Green and the Roe Green Foundation. On the second floor, a new private club level, named The Green Room (for Green), includes a bar and restroom, a private glass elevator and 62 theater seats. Tickets are open to the public, and the lobby can host cabarets, readings and private dinner parties. The downstairs lobby also received a makeover. A glass wall was installed on the east side to open up the space. “We want people on the outside to see that there’s life in it,” Kato says. There are many new spots for mingling, including three bars and a coffee station, and the box office now features a concierge-style desk. In both lobbies, costume renderings and scenic models are on display, emphasizing the theater’s artistic efforts. From pitch to completion, the renovations took a year. In reference to his team’s hard work, Kato says, “We can land 747s on postage stamps.” (561-575-2223, jupitertheatre.org) palmbeachillustrated.com | November 2013

INGREDIENT OF THE SEASON
i
Taste
Perfectly Seasoned
It’s been around as long as the oceans, but sea salt only became popular in recent years. Visit any of our area markets—Carmine’s, Amici or Joseph’s—and you’ll find an array of choices ranging from the classic fleur de sel of Southern France to England’s Maldon, a smoked sea salt popular in restaurant kitchens. “It has a more pronounced taste than regular salt but dissipates more quickly,” says Wayne Alcaide, chef at Tryst in Delray Beach. “We use it to accent and finish a dish, rather than as an underlying flavor.” Alcaide uses Maldon in Annie’s Fish and Chips, where the salt gives the fried fish an extra dimension, and also in his roasted marrow bones, where he finds the smokiness perfectly sets off the richness of the beef marrow. Is it better for you than regular salt? The Mayo Clinic says no; the payoff is really on the palate.

On The Market After eying expansion opportunities in Palm Beach for years, David Tornek and Chef Sean Brasel are bringing their Miami Beach-based Meat Market to the island this month. The outpost will occupy the space at 191 Bradley Place, formerly the Palm Beach Steakhouse. Considered one of South Beach’s best restaurants, Meat Market serves prime cuts of beef and local seafood in a modern dining room with edgy lighting and decor. The Palm Beach look “will be an evolved version of South Beach,” Tornek says, and 30 percent of the menu will differ to cater to Palm Beachers’ palates. (meatmarketmiami.com)

New on the Block Sustainable and locally produced foods may be buzzwords at the moment, but they’re also guiding principles at the Butcher Block Grill in Boca Raton. Butcher Block proves an all-natural steak house isn’t an oxymoron. All the meat used by Executive Chef Joshua Hedquist, formerly of the Max Group, is free of antibiotics and hormones; the seafood is wild caught and locally sourced, and the produce is grown pesticide-free on Florida farms. The comfortable and contemporary restaurant is tucked away in the Fountains Center, and the main dining space is augmented by a courtyard terrace. Start with the hand-pulled mozzarella, prepared tableside, served warm with heirloom tomatoes, micro basil and organic olive oil. Entrees to try include the Butcher Burger (accented with bacon and 94
aged gruyere), wild salmon and local snapper, and the formidable Veal Tomahawk Chop. For a twist on dessert, the goat cheese cheesecake offers an intriguing combination of sweetness and earthiness. (561-409-3035, butcherblockgrill.com)
Naturally, the best view of the Atlantic is seen by daylight, but some of the best oceanfront dining experiences are taking place after the sun has set. At the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort and Spa, 3800 Ocean’s “collaborative kitchen” of six chefs has revamped the dinner menu. Recent additions include Asian-inspired barbecue pork belly buns, a watermelon and Australian goat feta cheese salad with juicy lychee and savory black grouper with a cornavocado salsa and chorizo sweet potato hash. (561-340-1795, marriott.com/pbisg) farther south, 50 Ocean in Delray Beach has introduced pairing dinners, featuring a different libation at each. The next one, scheduled for November 19, will showcase vintages from Majestic Wines. (561-278-3364, 50ocean.com)

Lunch Bite
Lunch at Tanzy in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park just got better.
The menu is sprinkled with new dishes, and the $10 Club pairs entrees with a choice of salad or the signature parmesan fries. Menu additions include the quinoa and almond-crusted goat cheese salad, featuring spicy arugula in a lemon-poppy seed vinaigrette, and a succulent and perfectly grilled mahi-mahi sandwich on focaccia. Of course, classics such as the Tanzy Burger remain—10 ounces of juicy ground Angus topped with smoked gouda cheese and crisp applewood smoked bacon—and you can always graze the imported cheeses offered from the Parma Bar. Thirsty? Tanzy has introduced infused waters such as lemonbasil and strawberry-mint, made with homegrown ingredients from the chef’s herb garden.

Brunch
Cocktail Corner
Cocktail historians may argue about the origins of Irish coffee, but they can agree on two things: The drink is a charm on a winter night, and—unlike the hot toddy—you don’t have to pretend to be sick to drink it. Many bars and restaurants serve Irish coffee, but go to an Irish pub to experience the real deal. O’Shea’s Irish Pub, at 531 Clematis, delivers three versions. In addition to the classic, made with Powers Whiskey, O’Shea’s offers Shannon’s Mist (with Irish Mist and Bailey’s) and Wild Irish Coffee (Bailey’s, Bushmills and Amaretto). Not cold enough yet? Just ask the bartender to crank down the A/C. (561-8333865, osheaspub.com)

Communal seating areas spark neighborly conversation, an exhibition kitchen shows off the staff’s culinary techniques, and the restaurant’s 3,000 bottles of wine are displayed in glass walls throughout the dining room. Staples on the menu include the ahi tuna tacos appetizer— served chilled but relatively hot in flavor thanks to the spicy citrus mayo—and the VIP cocktail, a smooth concoction made with clementine vodka and infused pineapple that has soaked for two weeks. Items special to Palm Beach include the kale and brussels sprouts salad topped with cranberries and shaved manchego cheese, and the steamed brown-bag fish—a standout, mouthwatering dish featuring fresh fish, zucchini and squash uniquely cooked and served, as the name suggests, wrapped in paper.

The New Deal A favorite November tradition—no, not Thanksgiving; the release of the year’s Beaujolais Nouveau— is fun, but there’s much more to the region
By Mark Spivak
Mommessin and Henry Fessy are quality vintners.
Few of us wine drinkers understand exactly why we do it, but it has become one of the rituals of the fall: On the third Thursday in November, the release date for Beaujolais Nouveau, people around the world engage in an intense competition to be the first to taste the bottling. Let’s look at just what led to the annual celebration of the wine’s official release. Beaujolais Nouveau basics: For centuries, many wine estates have been making some form of new wine to give to their harvest workers. After all, it’s cheaper than having them drink the prime stuff. Beaujolais Nouveau is harvested, fermented and immediately bottled without aging. In France, it’s illegal to sell it after January 1.
Taste profile: Beaujolais is known for its vivid flavors of fresh berries, and Nouveau is no exception. It is light in texture and alcohol content and goes down easily. It’s a red that appeals to white wine drinkers. Nouveau makes a good aperitif and pairs well with an assortment of finger foods, fish and white meat dishes—including that Thanksgiving turkey. Stylish sipping: Beaujolais Nouveau always enjoyed some popularity, first in the bistros of Lyon and later in Paris. It became fashionable more widely after World War II. However, many observers trace its worldwide popularity back to the late 1970s. California wine was on the rise, and sales of French wine were declining in America for the first time. Winemaker Georges Duboeuf is often credited with the idea of making the Beaujolais Nouveau release a global event, and he succeeded beyond anyone’s expectations. The good: From a consumer point of view, Nouveau is a no-brainer. The wine is almost impossible to dislike. From the standpoint of producers, it’s a cash cow—a wine that allows them to rake in immediate income without expensive oak aging. To a winemaker or wine geek, Nouveau also provides the first clue as to what the Burgundy vintage will be like. The bad: At first, the stepped-up marketing of Nouveau was a bonanza for the region, but after a few years, problems began to emerge. Many consumers got faulty impressions—that all Beaujolais was Nouveau; that they only ought to buy it in November; that Beaujolais wasn’t a serious wine; and that they should never pay more than $10 for it. In fact, the top Beaujolais from the 10 crus are some of the most glorious wines produced in France. In a good year, these wines easily rival the best Burgundies,

to Seek Out The hopes of Beaujolais producers are high this year after a disappointing 2012 harvest that was plagued by rain. The most reliable Nouveau in the United States comes from the large négociants, or wine merchants, who blend wine from dozens or hundreds of different growers. Our recommendations: Georges Duboeuf: The king of Beaujolais offers consistent quality. Louis Jadot: This venerable Burgundy estate expanded south into Beaujolais in 2000. Mommessin: Producing Beaujolais since 1865. Henry Fessy: Small production focused on quality. —M.S.
though it would be hard to convince the average American wine drinker of that. Nouveau damaged the market for real Beaujolais in the United States, effectively tossing the region into a tailspin from which it still hasn’t recovered. The myth: Many mistakenly believe Beaujolais doesn’t age well. In fact, top crus, such as Moulin-àVent or Brouilly, don’t reach their peak before four to six years and can last far longer than that. When I visited Mommessin, I tasted 15- and 16-year-old examples of Brouilly that were bright, fresh and pristine. So go ahead and race to the Nouveau kickoff, but later slow down to savor some serious Beaujolais. «

Don’t Tell Freedom (That’s My Dog) That I Have Another “Best Friend” In Jupiter Medical Center. Harold “Bud” Stambaugh is a retired Marine, and Freedom
is his trained service dog and best friend. When Bud discovered he had lung cancer, he reached out to Dr. K. Adam Lee, one of the nation’s leading experts and pioneers in minimally-invasive robotic surgery for lung cancer, and the first lung surgeon in Florida to perform robotic-assisted thoracic surgery.
“I told Dr. Lee I needed somebody to not only cure my lung cancer, but to take me through the whole process.” –Harold “Bud” Stambaugh & Freedom
Bud called Dawn Bitgood, ARNP, Oncology Care Specialist, and she walked him through the
entire experience – from pre-op, to surgery and rehabilitation. Today, Bud is cancer-free and credits the entire Thoracic Surgery and Lung Program team at Jupiter Medical Center with saving his life.

Balance Music is one of life’s greatest joys. Today, music is being used as more than just entertainment but also as a way to heal. Music therapy, as described by the American Music Therapy Association, “is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship.” Certified music therapists address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs through individual and group treatments focusing on creating, listening or engaging with music. Whether it’s listening to a patient’s favorite performer to redirect his or her focus or having a conversation on the piano with an autistic child, this form of therapy can greatly aid in a patient’s cognitive or emotional development. Locally, the Palm Beach Music Therapy Institute in Palm Beach Gardens works in educational and medical settings, providing music therapy to address a variety of needs. Turn the page to read a Q&A with Bree Beynon, a certified music therapist and the director of business development at PBMTI. (561-747-9944, pbmti.com)

3Q with Bree Beynon
Does someone need to be musically inclined to benefit from music therapy? Not at all, and I get [asked] that a lot. What I tell people is we are all musical. The first thing we ever hear before we are even born is a heartbeat. We are introduced to rhythm before any other stimulus. We are all naturally rhythmic just by being human. And because of that, we all respond to rhythm [and] melody. How would you apply music therapy to treat something like pain? [With pain,] the main goal really is to positively redirect that person from perceiving his pain to experiencing a positive stimulus. And that, in turn, will actually decrease the pain stimulus. Pain is perceived by the brain in a similar location where active music making is also perceived. So, if you are actively engaging in music through singing or playing an instrument, you are literally decreasing your pain stimulus.
To Go
What about in the case of treating a child with autism? A lot of times, the need for a child with autism is communication. One thing that is really great about how music can reach these children is we can have a conversation on the piano or on the xylophone or over the drum—have kind of a call and response together. [Also,] music is so motivating. There’s such a motivation in us to finish a song, to finish a phrase. So that’s another way that it really grabs the attention of children. Children with autism are really drawn to rhythm—to that steady beat. [With that foundation,] there’s so much you can work on from there, whether it’s improving speech or improving attention span. It’s all about getting that positive interaction.
When you’re on the go, it can be a challenge to eat well. Thankfully, a new group of snack delivery companies has popped up on the market to make eating well easy. We’ve compiled a few snack services every health nut should know. l GoBites: Miami-based GoBites delivers 100 percent natural, nutritionist-designed mini-meals to your door. You can choose from 26 varieties of snacks—like tropical gluten-free granola and an antioxidant mix of organic pineapple, pomegranates and goji berries—and each box can include as many as 14 selections. (gobites.com) l Graze: From its packaging to its contents, Graze achieves its promise of “nature delivered.” More than 75 snacks are divided into nine groups such as dips and dippers, flapjacks, savory selections, super seeds and a touch of chocolate. You can receive a shipment every one, two or four weeks. As a bonus, the packaging is 100 percent biodegradable and recyclable. (graze.com) l Healthy Surprise: A healthy surprise can be the best surprise. Healthy Surprise delivers monthly boxes of nutritious goodies ranging in sizes, so you can choose the perfect one to fit your household. All snacks are natural and vegan as well as free of gluten, soy, corn and wheat. (healthysurprise.com)

Autumn
Bliss
As the fall season settles in, many of us look to turn our sun-kissed (and, admittedly, sun-damaged) skin into something soft, supple and touchable. At the White Orchid Spa at the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa, a variety of autumn-inspired treatments will replenish the mind and body and leave you craving a pumpkinspiced latte. The spa’s fall specialty menu includes the pumpkin glow body polish, which exfoliates dry skin and improves circulation with the help of pure cane sugar, or the gingerbread crème body masque, an exfoliation, masque and massage combo that features a crème made from Dagoba dark chocolate and cinnamon. Other treatments include a pumpkin pulp pedicure, a spiced honey detox facial and a warming pumpkin facial. (772-231-1133, whiteorchid spa32963.com)

Research Roundup Dr. Joseph Kissil (left) at the Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter has led recent studies that have made strides in cancer research. In one, scientists discovered a protein once thought to inhibit tumor growth actually helps facilitate it. The protein, called angiomotin, is active within the cell nucleus. Another study concluded the gene known as Notch 1 plays a crucial role in non-small cell lung cancer and identified it as a regulator of lung cancer tumor growth. Both of these findings could have strong impacts on cancer treatment and therapeutic strategies. (561-228-2000, scripps.edu)

On September 2, Diana Nyad became the first person to complete the 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective shark cage. The 64-year-old had attempted the swim four times before, but each time was faced with elements like jellyfish stings, asthma attacks and lightning storms, forcing her to forfeit. When she finally reached Key West after nearly 53 hours in the water, she triumphantly told reporters, “You never are too old to chase your dreams.” (diananyad.com)

Q&A with Judith Murat In honor of National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, we spoke with local philanthropist Judith Murat Grubman, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2011. In addition to support from her family, Grubman has taken solace in her work designing jewelry. Following the death of her husband in 1999, Grubman began creating jewelry at the urging of a friend. She is currently working on a collection of pieces to benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the forthcoming collection will go to the national organization to support research and advocacy. We asked Grubman to open up about her experience fighting cancer. PBI: How did life change for you when you received your diagnosis? Grubman: Well, they usually say it’s a lifestyle change, and I think they’re 100 percent right. It’s an amazing lifestyle change; I lost a lot of weight and it didn’t stop. It was not good. It took me down. Did you have a history of pancreatic cancer in your family? No, no one in my family had ever had cancer. Has creating jewelry been view more of Grubman's jewtherapeutic? elry at judith Absolutely. I think what murat.com really saved me too, and made me feel so happy, is [putting] together a beautiful book [with] my friend Charles Castor. What would be your one message to others fighting cancer? Give it to God and have faith.

Insider Trading Grow a stellar interior crop with these tips from Jason McCobb (a.k.a. Farmer Jay), the former lead gardener at The Breakers. (561-396-0210, myfarmerjay.com) ● Indoor herbs grow best on a windowsill that gets some direct light. ● Ninety percent of plant death is due to improper watering. The signs for over watering and under watering often look the same: Plants are wilted, yellow or brown. To determine whether a plant needs water, feel the soil for moisture. ● Herbs are a lot like hair and thrive when trimmed regularly. It is important to trim or harvest before the plant begins to flower. ● Don’t bother treating herbs for insects or fungus, because you should never spray pesticides on herbs. Just keep planting new herbs to rotate in and out. ● Be confident and experiment. Gardening is 50 percent science and 50 percent art. In the right situation with the right gardener, special things can happen.

At a dinner party with French flair, the table setting is paramount. Lori Hedtler, owner of Devonia Antiques on Antique Row, put together a setting for PBI and provided tips for using antique French pieces: What are some quintessential characteristics of antique French china, dishware and stemware? I think of crisp white porcelain, delicate shapes, gold trim and gilt foliate designs, as well as beautiful color enamel decoration. How do you mix antique pieces with modern elements? We love to mix and match and find that modern shapes work nicely with antique designs. We have commissioned new custom chargers from the Pickard china company to work with the antique turquoise, greens and pinks. We also incorporate midcentury modern Venetian glass and contemporary placemats and napkin rings. Any suggestions for tablecloths? Use crisp white damask linen, perhaps with an urn and floral classical pattern—and knife rests to save the tablecloth! Devonia Antiques, West Palm Beach (561-429-8566, devonia-antiques.com)

UP Team by Liza Grant Smith
Teamwork has long been a powerful concept in corporate America, serving as a popular marketing and motivational tool. However, somewhere between the idea and reality of working as a team, there seems to be a disconnect. Many companies touting the tagline conveniently overlook the fact there is no “I” in team. Take the highly competitive real estate industry, for instance. Far from cooperative, many firms end up with a cutthroat environment that breeds suspicion and secrecy. Waterfront Properties agent Susan Turner is well aware of the stories. “I have heard people who work in other companies say they have to lock their drawers at night,” she says. “They can’t leave any paper on their desk.” Turner, on the other hand, keeps her desk piled with current deals and prospects without worry. Why? Because the high-end-focused Waterfront Properties has created a unique structure to support individual success through cooperative behavior. Rather than take a Wild West approach for handling listings, South Florida-based Waterfront assigns each agent a specific and exclusive territory. Turner, for example, covers only Jupiter Island.
This strategy has multiple positive effects—notably, the internal competition is eliminated. “What other real estate company could I work for where a fellow agent would refer me a listing in my area?” says Bob Aiello, a Waterfront agent who specializes in coastal communities. He understands this firsthand, having left Waterfront years ago and returning because other agencies lacked the structure or support that “gave me the tools to be successful in my market.” Turner says it is not uncommon for her to ask another agent to accompany her buyer to another firm’s listing in the agent’s area of specialty. “There’s not anything in it for them financially, but they are always accommodating,” she says. “I’m not sure that level of camaraderie or corporate spirit exists in other places. I think people are much more often single agents.“ Another benefit to Waterfront’s structure is each agent becomes an expert in his or her particular area. This helps grow the agent’s property valuation knowledge and pool of prospective buyers.

Waterfront Properties’ model has generated proven results for 30 years by empowering individual brokers in a team-based environment. PROMOTION
“You can name any building on Singer Island and tell me the unit number, and I’ll tell you what it books at,” says John Nugent who has been covering the Singer Island market for 16 years. Adam Brown, who handles Stuart, has been a Waterfront Agent for more than 20 years. He says the easiest way to see the success of any model is to examine not the number of listings an agent has but how many times the agent brings the buyer to the transaction. “Not only am I selling $20-30 million a year, 70 percent of the time I have a buyer in the deal,” he says. “Top realtors in other firms sell their own listings less than 10 percent of the time. That’s how you prove a marketing system is generating results.” The Waterfront marketing system is more than just a territorial approach. It also involves complete administrative support, including creating and maintaining individual agent websites, developing marketing materials, photographing property and developing other direct advertising, all of which is handled by the firm. With these efforts focused on a single listing agent per region, name recognition is almost guaranteed. “When you work in an area like I do, your advertising, mailers and Internet all goes to that one area. Pretty soon, the 2,500 people that live in my territory all know who I am,” Nugent says. The “Waterfront way” produces desired results without any timeconsuming efforts. “It’s really hard for one individual to wear multiple hats,” Brown says.
“You can’t be an engineer and an artist at the same time. Your brain doesn’t work that way. All I have to do is talk to buyers and sellers.” While the internal support means agents share a larger part of their commission with the firm, no one is complaining. “Your average realtor only thinks about percentages [and says,] ‘You only get this much,’” Nugent says. “My response? ‘Yes, but how much did you make last year?’ “I’ve had 100 different brokers, including the heads of every big company in the area, personally try to recruit me and explain to me how much more money I’m going to make on their commission split. In the end, you don’t fix what’s not broken.”

Finding Flagler
Henry Morrison Flagler Museum
Agenda
Henry Morrison Flagler saw Florida’s potential. Staring into a land of swampy foliage, prehistoric animals and mosquitoes as far as the eye could see, Flagler chose instead to see a land of promise. He used his ingenuity and foresight to construct Florida’s first major transportation system and, in 1895, he founded the Florida East Coast Railway. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Flagler’s death, and the Flagler Museum is honoring his memory with an exhibition titled “Man of the Century: The Incomparable Legacy of Henry Morrison Flagler.” On display through January 5, this exhibit features photos, maps, documents and artifacts that illustrate Flagler’s impact on the development of Florida as well as his lofty business and philanthropic achievements.

Mural Marvel The Norton Museum of Art has come up with a unique way of heralding a new cultural season in Palm Beach County: by installing a site-specific mural in its lobby. In September, a new mural—only the third to grace the Norton’s lobby walls—was unveiled. The piece, titled Faux Real, was conceived and completed by New York artist Mickalene Thomas. Her nearly 770-square-foot work of art features segments of the artist’s own landscape photography, juxtaposed with other mediums including oil markers and paint as well as contact paper. Thomas’ finished collage is at once realistic and whimsical, featuring recognizable Floridian flora and distorted “faux reality” elements. Visitors to the Norton can step inside her envisioned landscape through August 2014. (561-832-5196, norton.org) —Mary Gibble The mural as a work in progress.
