ADVENTURE, FASHION ... AND CHARLEY

BY KATHERINE SNOW SMITH

Late summer, known as the dog days, is associated with sultry heat and those few fleeting weeks left to enjoy the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gifts. Here in Tampa Bay, of course, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about cooler temperatures limiting our outdoor pastimes for a while. In fact, we could enjoy them a bit more if it were a good 10 degrees cooler.

Still, once school is well under way, watermelon is out of season and the sun sets a little earlier, we lose that relaxed yet adventurous attitude of summer. So make the most of the coming weeks.

Go on one more adventure or start planning your next big one. This issue offers several ideas for amazing itineraries. It also has advice on what you should take along on your travels.

The Tampa Museum of Art provides the backdrop for our fashion spread. Thank you to the museum for sharing its beautiful spaces.

Katherine and Charley.

Though the temperatures arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dropping here, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason not to adjust your wardrobe for the coming entree of fall. Check out the looks that make a nod to a Florida fall in cool, light fabrics.

In honor of the so-called dog days, which were named by early Greeks and Romans for Sirius, the Dog Star, we are highlighting local dog lovers who support canine related organizations. For example, Southeastern Guide Dogs on the south side of the Sunshine Skyway bridge places more than 100 dogs a year to help people with visual impairments and other needs.

The organization and the puppies, who grow into life-changing friends, are near and dear to many humans in the area. This issue also highlights an organizations that helps boxers and another foundation created for dog owners in need.

Our rescue mutt, Charley, is pictured with me.

Nine years ago after our beloved basset hound, Delbert, died at age 12, we decided our next dog would come from a shelter. My daughter Charlotte, who was 8 at the time, scoured the Internet for a puppy we could adopt, though most rescue dogs aren’t newborns.

“How far is Denver?” she asked when she found an abandoned beagle puppy out west.

Looking at an adorable 3-month-old pug at a shelter across the state, she begged, “Can we get one from Miami?”

Finally she found a litter of puppies that had been rescued by CARES in Brooksville. A Labrador retriever had given birth to them but her owner threw the puppies outside with just a bag of dog food. Neighbors called CARES for help.

Best we can tell, Charley is part lab and part mountain cur hound. He also seems part human

by the way he senses our needs, injects himself between us on the sofa and greets humans first then their pets at the dog park.

I’m sure I’ll find a few things on Bay’s Found It pages that Charley deserves and some that will make me laugh.

I hope you laugh and learn something from this issue while you enjoy this last gasp of summer.

Thank you for reading.

ADVENTURE

ACCESSORIZING FOR

BY KATHERINE SNOW SMITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY DIRK SHADD

Y

ou never know where the road will take you or what you might need.

Here’s a primer and some of the latest must-haves for travel, along with a few time-tested necessities you always want within reach.

SAVOR THE SAND It may have fun colors and a fringed tassel, but this sturdy beach bag means business. It will help you tote your towels, magazines, sunscreen, beach reads and beverages. Liquids stay cool up to 24 hours in this toxin-free, stainless-steel water bottle by S’well.

Don’t put off recording interesting people and places, moments and meals, sights and sounds until the last day. Jot them down in this lightweight journal daily at breakfast or on the beach.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld had a routine about beachgoers naively hiding a wallet or room key in their shoe when they go for a dip.

“What criminal mind could penetrate this fortress of security?” he asked sarcastically.

Well, this portable AquaVault will shut him up and foil potential thieves. Strap it on your beach chair, deposit your valuables, spin the combination lock and hit the water.

SPECIFICS: S’well teakwood grain, large stainlesssteel water bottle ($45), Locale, 179 Second Ave. N, St. Petersburg.

Wild & Wolf world map flask ($20), wildandwolf.com AquaVault portable outdoor safe ($40), theaquavault.com.

Travel journal ($16) and Bujibaja straw basket tote ($118), both from Anthropologie, 705 S Dakota Ave., Tampa.

ON THE ROAD

PACK IT UP The best adventures take you away from the world of wifi, so it’s smart to have an actual map on hand. Palomar offers waterproof maps for 50 cities around the world that can be crumpled into your backpack or crammed into your clutch without a tear. But the real world and wi-fi will most likely come calling at some point, and if you must take a laptop along, carry it in this water-resistant backpack that can be easily converted to a briefcase by slipping the leatheradorned straps into discreet pockets.

A simple ball of rubber bands allows you to pack more in your suitcase. Roll individual shirts, pants, dresses and skirts into tubes, then wrap the middle and each end with a band.

This leather duffle is fit for Ernest Hemingway, and the cross-body leather pouch is reminiscent of Amelia Earhart.

Both have beautiful leather and lines that can take you anywhere in any era. And when you make it home, stick pins in this cork globe to mark where you’ve been and where you’re dreaming of next.

SPECIFICS: Large leather duffle ($835), Unisex leather cross-body travel pouch ($480), both from Luca Italian Leather, 100 Second Ave. NE, St. Petersburg.

Crumpled City Map of Paris by Palomar ($16.95), Palomarweb.com.

BT Group Cork Globe ($80 to $120), Uncommongoods.com.

Rubberband ball ($6), Anthropologie, 705 S Dakota Ave., Tampa.

Convertible laptop briefcase/backpack ($46), Evecase,com.

1000 Ultimate Travel Experiences, Make the Most of Your Time on Earth, 2nd edition ($19.99), Urban Outfitters, International Plaza, Tampa.

The days of the abacus never needed power, of course, but sadly now it’s a requirement even on most vacations. If you can’t pull the plug on technology while traveling, don’t let it get pulled without your permission. This solar-powered charger will collect power even on the most remote paths. The latest version of a pocketknife offers a charger for all types of phones that can connect to your computer or any power source.

The Outdoor Tech Buckshot would impress even Q, James Bond’s purveyor of “spyrific” devices. It functions as a wireless Bluetooth speaker to play music from your phone, gives power to said phone and triples as a flashlight.

You no longer have to take off with fingers crossed, hoping your adapter will work in all the outlets on your foreign escape.

This universal grounded adapter has multiple prong configurations that click out and in almost like blades of a pocketknife.

SPECIFICS: Solocharg Dual USB Solar Charger with LED flashlight ($26), solocharg.com.

Brunton Power Knife multi-USB cord system ($8.99), brunton.com.

Buckshot Pro 3-in-1 wireless Bluetooth speaker with power bank and 3-mode flashlight ($79.95), outdoortechnology.com.

Universal power adapter ($75), Tumi Store, International Plaza, Tampa.

HAVE WINE, WILL TRAVEL WineSkins are a new travel accessory that allow you to take your favorite bottle with you or bring a special purchase or two back without worrying a spill or break will ruin your day.

ALL IN THE DETAILS Anne et Valentin sunglasses from France give you a distinctive look that stands out in the city or on the most crowded beach.

For those who don’t like lotions or oils and want a little splash of color when you’re in the sun, this brush-on

28 bay

AUGUST 2016

sunscreen from Colorescience is a must-have. The tinted powered protection is in the tube, so all you do is shake and brush.

Whether you’re coming off a day at the beach or a long flight, a small, sturdy bottle of scented oil will quickly freshen you up.

Don’t expect to travel clean. Red sauce splatters, puddles splash and lobsters squirt. Keep this stain bar with natural borax handy to prevent permanent damage.

SPECIFICS: Roll-on Petal Perfume Oil, Pink Rose & Currant ($18), Urban Outfitters, International Plaza, Tampa.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 30 ($57), Andrew Coundouriotis, M.D., 5600 22nd St. N, St. Petersburg. J. Crew Stain Bar ($7), J. Crew, International Plaza, Tampa.

Capturing

MONET STORY, PHOTOGRAPHS, PAINTINGS AND PASTELS BY PEGIE STARK

I

was always enchanted by Claude Monet’s work.

His paintings of water lilies were misty and mysterious, and drew me into a dreamy place where I loved to be as a child. He captivated me with his color choices and brush strokes. How could a painting that looked so haphazard up close become so clear and gorgeous when you stand 5 feet away?

To me, Monet was a bit of a magician.

Because I grew up near Chicago, I got to know the artist, his work and his famous water lilies at the Art Institute of Chicago. I spent hours gazing at large canvases, mesmerized by how I could transport myself into the landscape and disappear into the color.

I read about Monet’s work and his style. It is said that he didn’t use black in his paintings. As an artist, I would spend years trying to capture the rich depth of color that he accomplished, without using black. It’s difficult.

His art has been mesmerizing people like me for centuries.

It was revolutionary in the late 1800s. His style was thought to be too loose and incomplete to fit in with the realistic images audiences were used to. He was key to the controversial Impressionist movement along with his colleagues like Manet, Cezanne, Pissaro and Degas.

During his career, Monet built a world of gardens, lily ponds, bridges and beauty in Giverny, France, about 90 minutes west of Paris.

He spent the latter years of his life expanding and building on the property, living and painting in the landscape.

I have collected books on Monet and sought out his works in any city I visited. But it was always a dream to visit Giverny. I wanted to breathe the air that he captured in the atmosphere of his paintings, to see what inspired him, and visit his home nestled right in the middle of this iconic property where he lived.

Imagine my surprise one Christmas when a loved one gave me the gift of a summer painting workshop in Giverny.

Seven days living in Giverny, steps away from Monetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate. A small group of other artists and I would stay in a neighboring lodge, but have access to paint in his gardens.

I was elated.

After three days in Paris, I boarded a train at the famous Saint-Lazare Station that Monet captured in his painting by the same name. An hour and a half later I was in Giverny.

The 8 other artists in the workshop and I enjoyed three

meals a day prepared by local Normandy chefs. Lunch and dinner were accompanied by local wines.

The lodge had a studio where we could paint 24 hours a day. Our host, an artist and teacher, led some workshops on Monet’s methods.

We painted in Monet’s garden each night after 5 p.m. when the gates closed to the public.

The vast property includes two gardens: the flower garden near his home and the water garden across the road that you access through a tunnel.

Our small group had the ability to roam and paint anything we wanted while the magical golden dusk light gave us the misty background so famous in Monet’s work. We also had the gardens to ourselves all day Monday when it was closed. This option, however, is no longer available to workshops. Instead, guests now have private access to the gardens before it opens, to capture morning light.

Monet designed the gardens planting flowers according to color. Rows upon rows of both familiar and unusual flowers are woven with fruit trees and other greenery. Green benches dot the landscape.

We walked across the pale green Japanese bridge so familiar in Monet’s paintings and looked down on lilies dancing in the sunlight.

Monet’s home, which is open to the public, offers extensive views of the gardens through open windows. I was amazed by the dining room, which is all yellow. Everything is yellow, from the walls to the fireplace to the cabinets to the dining table and chairs.

The amount of time we had in the gardens was enough to complete several paintings and drawings, and to start some that could be finished either in the lodge studio or back in the United States. Photography is encouraged, and I left with images for later reference. I brought home about eight artworks and some are seen here.

In the small town of Giverny, you can find antique shops, art galleries and cafes.

I especially liked Restaurant Baudy. It was the home and studio for many visiting artists who came to Giverny during Monet’s time trying their hand at impressionist art and wanting to meet the artist. It has kept its old-world charm and has some great local dishes and wines. Like most of the cafes, you can dine inside or out.

We visited the small town of Vernon and shopped local markets for handmade clothes and baked goods, topping it off with real hot chocolate at a patisserie. It was like drinking an extremely rich melted chocolate bar with thick whipped buttery cream on top.

We were taken to many outlying areas and small cities where we could paint. One day we took the train to Paris and visited the Musée de l’Orangerie. Its main features are Monet’s paintings of water lilies, Nymphéas. Located in two oval-shaped rooms, the multiple paintings wrap around the walls, creating a panoramic scene. I felt like I was standing in the middle of the famous Giverny pond. It is breathtaking. According to the l’Orangerie Museum website, Monet said he was trying to create an “illusion of an endless whole, of a wave with no horizon and no shore.”

I returned home with a portfolio loaded with sketches and paintings, some finished, some not. I still look at the hundreds of photos I took, take out my pastels and oils and paint, recapturing those moments in Monet’s gardens.

Studious children at an open-air school in the Baguieli pygmy village. Pam and Myles Levitt got a

taste of Africa, far beyond the tourist highlights, during a 28-day trip to the continent in March and April. “Every country is different. You see a whole cross section of people and different religions,” said Pam Levitt, who works with her husband at Levitt & Prasatthong, D.D.S., P.A., Dentistry for Children and Teenagers in St. Petersburg.

We got so close. If (the animals) wanted to jump in, there is nothing stopping them.”

The Levitts spent four days photographing wildlife on safari in South Africa, then traveled up Africa’s west coast for 23 days on a Silversea Expedition cruise ship with 100 fellow passengers. The group took inflatable Zodiac boats to shore to access places and experiences far off the beaten path.

“Every day we had lectures about the countries, then we would go visit these out-of-the-way places,” she explained.

It was an amazing view of a continent that has a huge population and what people’s lives are like day in and day out.

“There is so much happening over there, we truly as Westerners don’t even get it,” she said.

For example, Westerners have heard the horror stories of the decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone when rebels amputated adults’ and children’s limbs to create fear throughout the 1990s. The Levitts saw first-hand the high number of amputees there and watched a thriving soccer league for players missing limbs.

Their motto is: “not mere victims of war, but ambassadors of peace.”

“We went to the Door of No Return,” she said, referring to the museum and memorial in Senegal that is thought to have been the final exit point of slaves from Africa.

At a Fetish Market, the group milled around booths selling dog heads, monkey heads, monkey hands, snakes and bats for those who worship animals.

Before joining the cruise in Cape Town, the Levitts stayed at Kapama Southern Camp in Kruger National Park in South Africa. Accommodations were luxurious and included rooms with private pools, fireplaces, soaking tubs and views of animals grazing in your back yard.

Because of the intense heat and the habits of the wild animals, guides took them out for three-hour “runs” at dawn and dusk in open-air trucks to scout for wildlife in their natural habitats.

“The safari truck is all open from your waist up,” Levitt said. “We got so close. If (the animals) wanted to jump in, there is nothing stopping them.”

Beautiful fall fashions fit right in at the Tampa Museum of Art. Bay is featuring a few special pieces this issue as a nod to famed fashion designer Norma Kamali’s exhibit at the museum. Some of her signature looks, from the sleeping bag jacket to a replica of Farrah Fawcett’s iconic red swimsuit, are showcased. (The original one-piece suit designed

by Kamali is in Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington.)

Kamali, known as a serious risk-taker in fashion, is also an advocate for public education and women’s health. A history of her designs will be on display until Sept. 25.

One new trend these days is the apron dress. It’s out of the kitchen and headed down runways, allowing for fun play with straps and gathers at the waist. This black apron dress shows it’s far from the standard “kiss the cook” version and Black apron dress ($74), Canvas Fashion Gallery; Mother of pearl necklace

ROLL THANK YOU, NORMA Kamali became a sensation and force in the fashion industry when she introduced a line of gray fleece “urban streetwear” in 1980. Long, short and gathered skirts, V-neck dresses, capes and evening wear were made out of the same material people were jogging in. But lines of people stretched around the block at Kamali’s shop as well as at department stores carrying the collection.

Almost 40 years later, she still considers women’s comfort when designing. This slate wrap dress proves comfortable can be elegant and sexy as well.

KNOW ALL THE ANGLES Asymmetrical hemlines on shirts and skirts are prominent in fall collections and flatter an array of shapes and sizes.

Jewelry with an earthy look, such as replicas of tusks and bones, continues to be in favor. Open-toe booties in taupe go with every fall style.

Our model poses next to the museum’s recent acquisition from Cuban-born artist Mabel Poblet Pujol. Simplemente Bellas (Simply Beautiful) combines mixed media of plastic flowers, bicycle wheels and electric motors to create a spinning work of art.

Pujol created this after visiting a women’s prison in Holguin, Cuba, where inmates make plastic flowers from recycled materials.

MOVE IT BIGGER THAN LIFE Kamali created these 8-foot “Glamazons” to introduce her 2012 collection in New York. Now 25 of the foamboard cutouts are together again in the museum’s Saunders Foundation Gallery. For Bay, a living, breathing “glamazon” dons a sleek Kamali piece studded with snaps that can be worn as a jacket or dress.

LET G GO A ROSE IS A ROSE This fall, consider the color rose, which takes the bright corals and hot pinks of summer down a notch but still has a warm tone. This loose cream jacket with popular fringe also gives an outfit more of a fall feel. Ankle boots that came on strong last fall are still on the runways and fill the stores.

Add your personal touch with a favorite long pendant. And don’t forget a bag with tassels.

JUMP TO IT Women are embracing the jumpsuit because it’s elegant yet so easy. One piece, head to toe.

This jumpsuit defines the waist but is also loose and flowing.

The pinstripe adds flair and sophistication.

FOLLOWING THEIR

DOGMA I

t’s hard to put dog owners’ love and appreciation for their pets into words. Plenty of bumper stickers out there try to convey it. “One day I hope to be the person my dog thinks I am” does a nice job of summing up the unconditional adoration dogs offer humans.

Author and veterinary surgeon James Herriot wrote numerous books about dogs and other animals that come close to doing four-legged companions justice.

“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans,” he once said.

True, a dog’s devotion, patience, appreciation and forgiveness often outweigh that of humans. But there are people who reciprocate their dogs’ best traits by supporting not just their own pets but canines at large. Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays, for example, has raised more than $40,000 for Pet Pal Animal Shelter in recent years. This is the fifth season he has pledged $100 per homer to the no-kill shelter in St. Petersburg.

In addition to the third baseman’s personal donations, every time he runs all four bases, the Rays, Ducky’s Sports Lounge, Bright House Networks, Kids Artistic Revue and Rainbow National Dance Competition each donate $100 to Pet Pal. Enjoy stories of a few other humans who support canine causes in these next pages.

IKE EINHERST + POPPY

A dog for all seasons Puppy preschool, foster parent orientation, dog massage classes, dog training classes, indoor dog park sessions, summer camps, fundraising events and most other functions at the SPCA of Tampa Bay take place at the Ike & Libby Einherst Education Center.

The facility, with its recycled rubber floor specially designed for dogs, is named in honor of generous donors Libby and Ike Einherst. Libby passed away in 2007 and left most of her estate to the SPCA. Her husband, Ike, 87, is still a strong supporter of and volunteer for the organization.

“I can’t think of a better place to leave my estate,” Einherst said, as he cuddled Poppy, the 15-year-old Shih Tzu he adopted from the SPCA. Since his wife of 55 years died, the people and animals there have become a family to him in her absence.

“When my wife passed away I was crushed. I shouldn’t say this, but I didn’t even want to live,” he recounted. The staff at the Largo animal shelter encouraged him to adopt Poppy.

“She had puppies and they were adopted, but nobody wanted to adopt her. I said ‘I don’t want to get attached to anything again.’ But they said I can’t think like that. I had always loved animals so I adopted her,” Einherst said as the small dog slept on his feet next to a row of stuffed toys she knows by name. Soon after Einherst and Poppy bonded, the SPCA asked him to speak at events about the difference that adopting a dog made in his life.

“I didn’t think of myself as much of a speaker. I’m not exaggerating though, other people who spoke were more or less getting polite applause, but when I got through everyone was on their feet cheering,” Einherst said with a laugh.

He has even received fan mail from audience members telling him what an impact his genuine talks made on them.

Other dogs in his life have included Snoopy the beagle and Alice the collie. But Einherst’s love of animals goes beyond canines. He and his wife named a pet rabbit that wandered into their yard Thumper and taught her how to beg on her hind legs. He credits the calming, loving rabbit for lowering his blood pressure to the point that he could discontinue all his medicine.

He gets angry at the prospect of more bear hunts in Florida because “they aren’t bothering anyone who leaves them alone.” And he still tears up when recounting a Tampa Bay Times story about a beloved guide dog who was losing an eye and her life’s calling because of cancer. He has mailed multiple copies of the story to friends.

“I love all kinds of animals. When my wife and I visited all the national parks in the early ’60s, our favorite thing was to get up at 5 a.m. and go look at the wildlife,” Einherst said, beaming. “We loved to see those elks.”

SANDRA FLEISCHMAN + RASCAL + JACK

Irrational exuberance

Sandra Fleischman has worked to save hundreds of dogs since becoming a Florida Boxer Rescue volunteer in 2000. Foster dog Jack, left, is temporarily sharing her South Tampa home with Rascal, two of the many boxers she has owned or helped rescue.

Honey was her first, the family’s pet boxer when Sandra Fleischman was a toddler. Next came boxers Coco, Flash, Boo, Cosmo, Shoona and Katie to share her adult life. Now she has Rascal and recently rescued Jack, whose exuberance she finds irresistible.

“I love their personalities ... silly, goofy, loyal. They’re like kids, wiggly, energetic, in your face, and they remain that way till whenever. That’s the breed. They love life.”

Her husband, Tampa architect Sol Fleischman, who didn’t grow up around dogs, quickly became as enamored.

“We call them Velcro dogs because they love their humans,” she said. “Wherever you are, they want to be.”

And as a Florida Boxer Rescue volunteer since 2000, Fleischman wants to be wherever she can help. She estimates the Largo organization has saved more than 4,000 boxers.

“They averaged a dog a day,” said Fleischman, who answered the statewide hotline for 14 years, fielding calls to come get strays, injured and abandoned pets. Today, she visits prospective adopters, serves on the board of directors and fundraises for the agency. She also monitors free-to-agood-home advertisements so those dogs don’t end up sold for dogfights.

“Boxers are favorites because they are close to pit bull size,” she said. “It’s a big business.”

Fleischman intends no pun talking about her pet peeve: dog owners who don’t research the breed first.

“Boxers make the perfect family pet if people know about their high energy levels. If not, too many times they call us and say, ‘I can’t handle it.’ ” Thus the ongoing demand for volunteers and foster homes. “Without them, we cannot pull in every dog in need and that’s a tragedy,” she said.

Of course, Fleischman’s eagerness to help extends to keeping any breed out of a shelter. She begins to laugh, relating an unforgettable drive home after attending a wedding in Atlanta with two relatives.

“I put out the word that I would be happy to transport a boxer rescue,” she said. “Somehow we ended up with a schnauzer and a 250-pound Great Pyrenees in a tiny Volkswagen. We looked like a clown car,” she said. “Hilarious.”

EDDIE DEBARTOLO JR. + BENTLEY

A big part of the family Schnoodle Brewster, a lively schnauzer-poodle mix, is a nervous flyer. He gets buckled into his seat on the private plane of shopping center magnate Eddie DeBartolo Jr., while Bentley, a more sedate bernadane — half St. Bernard, half Great Dane — goes right to sleep in his bed on the floor. Greyhound Missy sprawls on the couch, flying in style from the family’s Avila home in north Tampa to Candy Bar Ranch in Kalispell, Mont.

Staff take the dogs for long walks and prepare their favorite treat, venison and coconut. No wonder DeBartolo’s three daughters, with six dogs among them, tease that their dad favors his four-legged children.

Loved as they are, no pets were invited to Canton, Ohio, where the former owner of the San Francisco 49ers (197798) was recently scheduled to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The team won five Super Bowl titles, the most of any single owner, during his tenure.

“No question they prefer Montana to Tampa. They love it here,” DeBartolo said from his ranch. “Bentley’s allergies and dermatitis clear up soon as he gets out here.”

This fall, “Mr. D,” as everyone calls him, plans to create an animal sanctuary by enclosing part of the nearly 800-acre ranch.

Such devotion to dogs led the family to be founding sponsors of Frankie’s Friends, a pet medical care charity run by Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners and named for a beloved greyhound.

Frankie and eight other dogs are buried on the ranch, near a statute of St. Francis.

“No matter how successful you are,” DeBartolo philosophized, “without the unconditional love they show you, our lives would never be the same.”

BOBBY NEWMAN + JEANNIE + MILLIE

A dog can change everything Until the year 2000, Bobby Newman never had a dog, never had a pet, for that matter, beyond a turtle. Then he met Millie, a golden retriever-Labrador mix from Southeastern Guide Dogs training school in Palmetto, and his life forever changed. With a tug and a wag from his furry new friend, Newman set off to make sure others, specifically veterans, have a dog as special as Millie.

“Millie was perfect, sweet, kind and gorgeous,” said Newman. But she didn’t have all the skills to make the cut to be paired with a client, so the South Tampa family adopted her.

This goldador, however, ended up helping hundreds of people with disabilities instead of just one.

She inspired Newman to chair the Heritage Society, the endowment arm of Southeastern Guide Dogs. He has helped recruit 55 people who will bequeath at least $100,000 to the nonprofit organization and 300 donors who will leave various amounts.

Funds donated to Southeastern allow the nonprofit to provide guide, service, therapy and emotional support dogs to help disabled servicemen, service women and civilians at no charge. Breeding and training one dog to learn 40 commands takes two years and $60,000.

“It’s like a religion to me,” said Newman, 65, who devotes 10 to 20 hours a week to raising money for the organization.

This volunteer work is along with his day job, of course.

As executive vice president of the J.C. Newman Cigar Co., he’s battling new FDA tobacco regulations and helping the family business make Brick House, Diamond Crown and other cigar brands in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and their Ybor City factory. Founded in 1895, it’s the oldest cigar company in the United States. Meeting cigar aficionado and Marine Michael Jernigan in 2004 profoundly affected Newman’s already deep commitment to funding guide dog education. Jernigan has the horrible distinction of being the first serviceman to lose both eyes in the global war on terror from a roadside bomb in Iraq.

“That was the first time I heard the term Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,” said Newman, who immediately arranged for a guide dog named Brittany to come live with Jernigan.

The gesture led the men to start Paws for Patriots to match

guide and PTSD dogs with active-duty and veteran soldiers.

More than 300 have been paired since 2004.

Companionship and daily structure of the dogs bring powerful results, said Newman, relating life-changing testimonies from blind, suicidal and handicapped recipients.

“People (were) so challenged that they were unable to play catch with their kids or go to a birthday party or the mall,” he said.

Newman’s enthusiasm for guide dogs and his almostguide dogs never ceases. He led Millie on monthly “happiness” rounds at St. Joseph’s Hospital for 11 years until she died. Now Jeannie, the next dog he adopted from Southeastern, accompanies him everywhere.

J.C. Newman Cigar Co. executive vice president Bobby Newman, co-founder of the Southeastern Guide Dogs program Paws for Patriots, and Jeannie, a 7year-old “ambassador” golden retriever-Labrador mix are constant companions.

Paws for Patriots pairs highly trained guide and service dogs with active-duty and retired military personnel overcoming combat injuries, depression and posttraumatic stress free of charge. The program also trains therapy dogs for use in military hospitals.

MAYOR RICK KRISEMAN + GUIDE DOGS

A new way of life Six years ago, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman’s daughter, Jordan, needed to perform a service project as part of her upcoming Bat Mitzvah. She chose to become a so-called “puppy raiser” for a year and take care of a dog before it was mature enough to be trained by Southeastern Guide Dogs in Palmetto.

That was the start of it all. Since puppy Jim, the Krisemans — including the mayor’s wife, Kerry, and son, Samuel — have helped raise Elvis, Eckerd, Reese, Petey, Sunshine, Summit and Christie.

The dogs go out in public on a daily basis to prepare them for the life of a guide dog, who must calmly lead someone with an impairment through all environments. The dogs attend Rays games and go to school, work, the grocery store, movies and more. Elvis even went on the floor of the Florida House when Kriseman was a state representative.

At any given time in Tampa Bay there is a rolling number of about 50 puppy raisers taking young dogs into their home. When the dogs, usually black, yellow or chocolate labs or golden retrievers, return at the age of 14 months to Southeastern Guide Dogs, they are trained and then matched with an owner with vision problems or another disability. Clients come from across the country and live in dorms on campus while they and their guide dogs learn a new way of life together.

Of course, taking a dog from the only home and family it has ever known back to Southeastern Guide Dogs is the toughest part of being a puppy raiser.

“It’s hard every time,” Kriseman said.

But the guide dog school tries to ease the pain of goodbye with a graduation ceremony and then a simulation of dropping a child off at college.

“They call it Guide Dog University. You see the dorm room where your dog will be living. They have former clients talk about how the guide dogs have impacted their life,” Kriseman said. “Then they take you into the puppy hugging area. It eases the pain but makes you want to get another one.”

About six months later puppy raisers come back to meet the person with whom their dog has been matched. After meeting the woman who was matched with first puppy Jim, Kriseman said it was well worth the pain of letting him go.

“She told us: ‘My whole life I’ve been blind. I always walked with a cane. When you walk with a cane your head is down because you’re always listening. Now that I have my Jim I can walk with my head held high,’ ” he recounted.

It’s always a little uncanny how the dogs rush right to the puppy raisers when the family visits after being apart for six months.

“They recognize you instantly,” Kriseman said. “But it’s equally incredible watching them with the person who they have been matched up with and the amazing bond they have formed.”

He recalled how one of the dogs, Eckerd, was so excited to see the Krisemans that at first he greeted them with lots of sloppy kisses and tail wagging. But then he went right back to his new owner.

“He was a pastor from Georgia named Danny,” the mayor said, “and (Eckerd) spent the rest of the time lying on the floor with his head on Danny’s foot.”

SPA STANDOUT

BY KATHERINE SNOW SMITH

W

hen Sheila Johnson bought Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in 2007, it didn’t have a spa. Johnson, a connoisseur of spas around the world, added one shortly after her purchase and now is retooling and rebranding it to become what she hopes will be a standout across the country. She envisions the spa as a long-distance destination for couples, families and friends as well as a place the local community can enjoy. A truly stellar spa offers “a reconnection not only with each other but with yourself,” Johnson said. “It’s not just about how to treat your body on the outside but how to treat you on the inside.”

With this goal in mind, the renamed Innisbrook, a Salamander Golf & Spa Resort, is hosting workshops on topics such as nutrition, raw juicing and aging backward.

A large, raised platform has recently gone up next to the spa. Surrounded by live oak trees, dangling moss and other elements of nature, the pavilion will be the perfect setting for yoga, meditation, education and social gatherings, Johnson said.

Along with the usual beauty treatments, the spa has Thai and shiatsu massage, reiki and Chakra therapy. Johnson plans to add a garden for harvesting fresh rose petals, lavender, rosemary and more to use in aroma therapy.

While Innisbrook offers memberships, the public is also encouraged to come play, eat or enjoy spa services. No membership or overnight stay is required. It can host an allday party for a group or treat individuals. Even something as simple as a polish change entitles clients to a full day at the spa, sitting in the eucalyptus whirlpool, ordering lunch in the lounge or walking the trails of the 900-acre resort.

Conde Nast named Innisbrook’s sister property, Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Va., one of the top 10 resorts in the South last year. It is the crown jewel of Johnson’s Salamander chain, which consists of five hotels.

Johnson and her first husband founded the BET (Black Entertainment Television) network in 1979 and sold it to Viacom for $3 billion in 2000. They divorced two years later. Johnson remarried in 2005, the same year she started Salamander Hotels & Resorts with an initial goal of developing an equestrian, country estate resort near her farm in Middleburg.

“If you cut off the limbs of a salamander they regenerate,” Johnson said, explaining the name of her company. The billionaire connects with the amphibian, since she was starting in a brand new business segment and leaving behind one phase of life.

Her extreme attention to detail and outspoken nature serve her well in the hospitality industry.

“I don’t ever want to hear on the outside of my spa that we have not taken care of one of our clients in the right way,” Johnson said. From the volume of background music (“it can’t be overpowering but should be loud enough to hear without straining”) to a masseuse’s conversational habits (“there’s a fine line between courteous and chatty”), Johnson knows how she wants guests to be treated.

I don’t ever want to hear on the outside of my spa that we have not taken care of one of our clients in the right way.”

SHEILA JOHNSON, Salamander owner

When Innisbrook hosted the Valspar Championship on the PGA tour, Johnson planned a spa day for the players’ wives and significant others. About 30 women were treated to massages, facials, nail care, hair styling and makeup application. Johnson had laundry bags labeled with their names so they could bring the whole family’s dirty clothes to be washed while they relaxed for the day. She also provided free child care.

“Year after year I would see these PGA wives, they are like gypsies on the road. I can see the stress in their faces, many of them have young children. It was a day just for them,” Johnson said. “They were so appreciative and said nobody (at other resorts hosting tournaments) had ever done this for them.”

She also had good friend and supermodel Beverly Johnson stop by to talk and sip champagne with the group. The model, who was the first black woman to appear on the cover of American Vogue, was one of about 75 guests eating lunch in the VIP tent at the golf tournament on its final day.

Sheila Johnson mingled with the crowd, joking that if long-bearded golfer Graham DeLaet won the tournament she was going to present him with a trophy and giant scissors used for ribbon cuttings. But she kept a steady eye on

the buffet line, going over to stir grilled vegetables or close lids on chafing dishes regularly.

Johnson loves to cook and is a big supporter of the healthy and local food movement. When told of a luxury cruise line that didn’t offer vegan menu items, she became indignant, sitting up straight on the edge of her seat.

“It should never be that way,” she said, adding that with the growing variety of tastes and dietary restrictions, restaurants and hotels must meet customers’ needs honestly and happily.

She has become a fan of bison. “It has no fat. It’s very low in calories. I think it’s tastier than beef,” Johnson said.

Her go-to appetizer when entertaining? “Grilled vegetables on skewers. I like to keep it clean and healthy. You want just a bit of olive oil and oregano and thyme.”

What are some of Johnson’s other favorite spas? They include Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Ariz.; Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico, near San Diego; and the Breakers in Palm Beach.

Tampa Bay Times researcher Caryn Baird contributed to this report.

USING THE WARMTH OF WOOD FOR MORE THAN FLOORING

COLOR, CLAM SHELLS + CASHMERE

BY LYDIA HARVEY

F Interior designer Todd Anthony used handmade Cuban tile throughout this Snell Isle residence, at right.

Wood on the ceiling, and on the wall at left, adds warmth.

resh off taking part in Habitat for Humanity’s Blueprint fundraising gala, local designers Todd Anthony and Heidi Kiffin talked with Bay magazine about everything from reclaimed wood to cabbage roses and trends versus individuality. Todd Anthony Design’s projects in both construction renovation and interior design have garnered great attention lately and helped properties sell at record-breaking per-square-foot prices. Heidi Kiffin is the proprietor of the ever-popular Mis en Chic on St. Petersburg’s bustling Central Avenue, where the look is always fresh.

When designing an indoor space, do you have a go-to color?

Anthony: I don’t have a favorite go-to color, but have always loved beautiful white walls to allow the furnishings, colorful fabrics and art to pop, instead of a bold color on a wall that you may easily grow tired of.

Kiffin: No. People make fun of me because I am very particular about color. I will apply 30 different samples on the wall before I choose the right one. I am a big fan of what I call “non-colors”: soft shades.

How do you decide between using warm and cool tones?

Anthony: I like softer, more muted tones in bathrooms and bedrooms. I recently designed a client’s condo at the Vinoy Towers with gorgeous silver and platinum tones in the master bedroom, which worked beautifully with the natural veining of the statuary marble slabs in their bath.

Kiffin: Different colors affect our moods. For example, studies show babies cry more in yellow rooms, and blue is said to lower blood pressure, therefore considered calming and serene. Bedrooms are a place of rest, so generally the calm and soothing colors are best.

Do you consider trending colors, such as the Pantone colors of the year?

Anthony: To be honest, I usually avoid trending colors unless a client specifically asks for it. I like to offer them a version that is better. For example, a client wanted a spa color in a guest bedroom, so I mixed 50 percent white linen white with a soft seafoam green and the room was pure zen.

Kiffin: Color trends come and go. It’s best to choose the colors that make you feel good. However, you can have it both ways. I’m loving this year’s Rose Quartz. And Valspar says its 2016 color palette called Comfort Zone “will balance the mind, body and spirit.”

TREND REDEFINING THE KITCHEN ISLAND

At top, stone and marble remain popular materials for kitchen and bathroom surfaces and more. Touches of colors pop against sleek white walls. Todd Anthony Design.

Above, Quartz Moon chandelier, wrought iron/ quartz, 32 inches high ($2,995). Mis en Chic.

What is your favorite way to incorporate natural or nature-inspired elements in an interior space?

Anthony: When renovating a 1920s stone lake house in upstate New York, I wanted to incorporate even more of the indigenous fieldstone into the kitchen backsplash and full walls of stone ... I also hunted for weeks to find the perfect 19th century beams to enhance the new addition. Paying attention to these types of details give a home a pedigree, even if it was built in 2016.

rooms clad in full floor to ceiling slab stone or marble. ...

Organic patterns in marble and some quartzite are spectacular in a way that only Mother Nature could design.

Kiffin: I love natural elements. Real wood floors, natural stone tiles, pieces made from reclaimed wood, a large clam shell, pieces of coral, natural linens, fresh flowers.

What types of accessories are most popular right now?

Anthony: There are lots of fabulous coffee-table books hot off the press, and of course that perfect accessory is that objet d’art you find while on vacation in that small out of the way little antiques store that always has a story.

Kiffin: Metallics and accessories in warm metals.

DESIGNERS FEATURED Todd Anthony Design (310) 717-0254 toddanthonydesign.com

What types of plants or floral arrangements are on trend right now?

Anthony: I like to listen to people who are at the flower markets regularly. For example, when designing my table for the (Habitat for Humanity) gala this year, I was told cabbage roses were absolutely spectacular, and they did not disappoint! ... Peonies and white phalaenopsis orchids are my go-to flowers.

Kiffin: Green plants in the home are back. I’m seeing a lot of Pantone’s Rose Quartz in looser arrangements with greenery and a mix of seasonal flowers.

Mis en Chic 1180 Central Ave. St. Petersburg (727) 623-4866 misenchic.com

What are some trends you are seeing in textures and lines?

Anthony: I feel my own design sense has always leaned toward classic lines, subtle tones and comfortable furniture. One trend that I see picking up momentum is bath-

AUGUST 2016

Kiffin: Warm metals (gold, copper, bronze, rose gold), plants, natural textures. For me, decorating your home is an investment, so I try to create spaces that will last longer.

But incorporating certain pieces can keep your space fresh and current.

What are three accessories that should be incorporated into every living room?

Anthony: Music playing — 1940s Mabel Mercer and Bobby Short New York piano bar music — several Votivo candles and a cashmere throw.

Kiffin: Pillows and a great throw, plus something sentimental, like family photos or pieces purchased on vacation or heirlooms, to make the space personal. I always say buy what you love then find a spot for it. And don’t forget the candles.

EDIBLE PEACE PATCH Guests at the Edible Peace Patch fundraiser at the Morean Center for Clay were met by young students who attend schools with gardens growing fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs. They offered an arm to escort adults to their tables.

Fourth-grader Malachi Arson said he got to pick a big, round cabbage from his school’s garden.

Second-grader Daisy Harris has planted spinach and carrots and tried freshly picked broccoli.

Edible Peach Patch installs educational gardens in schools that are in so-called “urban food deserts” where fresh fruit and vegetables are not readily available at stores or markets. The program has gardens at seven St. Petersburg schools. Watson Haynes, CEO of the Pinellas County Urban League, was honored for his support of the Edible Peace Patch and many other causes. “Service is the price we pay for the space we occupy,” Haynes said.

COASTAL LIVING Since we have water all around us in the bay, the gulf, canals, bayous and beyond, our next issue will focus on coastal living.

Whether you live on the water, own a boat or just love the beach, the October Bay will speak to you. We’ll feature ways to bring a love of the coast into your home. In case you’ve forgotten how lucky we are to have water, water everywhere, this issue will remind you.
