Nature fix

The weather is warming up, Earth Day is approaching next month, and I’m so excited to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors! I’ve always had such a connection to nature, and I find the older I get, the stronger that connection becomes.

I love meeting people who share that same appreciation for our planet. Most of the friends I’ve made in the area are people I connected with through nature–whether it be paddleboarding, biking, hiking, or a mutual love of animals (I’ve never met a dog mom or dad I didn’t like!). So spending the day with this month’s cover stars, David Vogel and Thais Lopez Vogel, was a treat for me, as I listened to them talk about the passion they have for protecting our wondrous planet. Thais and David run the VoLo Foundation, which is focused on partnering with local and global organizations that share the same mission: practicing conservation and finding ways to combat the negative effects of climate change. If this is a topic that interests you, I know you’ll find this couple and their work interesting. Turn to page 46 to read all about their efforts in “Earth First.”

If there is a little Dora the Explorer in you, don’t miss the “Trail Blazers” feature on page 52. We spoke with local experts to put together the ultimate guide to hiking in the area, getting the lowdown on all of the fantastic trails nearby including spur trails like the Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail, which is an offshoot of the Florida National Scenic Trail. There’s something for everyone, whether you want to get your feet wet with a short day hike or go on a three-day excursion into the wild.

In this month’s Character profile on page 32, we meet Seth Ray, a local who brings clean drinking water to people around the world who are lacking this very basic necessity. He goes to places like Haiti and the Dominican Republic with his organization, Go.Build.Love., and helps communities build a better, healthier infrastructure. Our Wanderlust column takes you to the swamp—in style. Turn to page 42 to read about this unique, luxury adventure in the Florida Everglades created by celebrated photographer Clyde Butcher.

Opening The Local section on page 29, the Florida Native Plant Society schools us on the importance of sticking with native plant species in your backyard landscape. Years ago, I planted a fire bush outside and today it is thriving and absolutely gorgeous, living among other native flora like my favorite old oak tree that shades me from the hot Florida sun. (Thank you, tree.)

I hope you enjoy our March issue and spend some time exploring this month!

Peace and blessings,

Michelle Lee Ribeiro michelle@jupitermag.com @mleerib

Piece of paradise

Last year, my husband and I did a major renovation of our backyard and have been spending most of our time outdoors on the patio ever since. We have enjoyed the beauty of our swaying palms, the sound of the water trickling over our hot tub, and the soothing up-lighting on our flora in the evening. We’ve also noticed more birds enjoying a perch on our palms. I’ve even had the treat of seeing a cardinal, which is said to be a sign of a loved one saying hello. Nishka, our Siberian husky, is also loving the pool (even when it’s cold outside!).

These thoughts bring me to the theme of our March issue: Nature and Conservation. As always, I am looking forward to reading what our editorial team has lined up for us, including the story in The Local section on native flora. My thumb isn’t exactly green, so new ideas are always welcome. And I love hiking, so I can’t wait to read the feature on all the great local trails. Our area may not be flush with mountains or hills, but it is rich with unique nature to explore. I would not choose to live anywhere else— this is paradise!

This issue includes our annual Ask the Experts special promotional section (which will move to the February issue next year), as well as a Private Education Guide listing many of our local schools and all that they have to offer. The educaton guide will run again in the July/August issue, so please reach out to me if you are interested in advertising in this section. Seven times a year, we also publish the Home Resource Guide, which many of our readers peruse to find local businesses that cater to interior and exterior needs of homeowners

Last month, Jupiter Magazine was proud to support several local events, including Chasin a Dream’s We Walk as Lions, Bella’s Angels’ Clay Shoot, and Furry Friends’ Dream a Little Dream Gala. Visit our website (jupitermag.com) for more events that support great organizations aimed at helping children, families, and local animals in need (and sign up for our Insider’s Guide weekly newsletter while you’re there to keep up with local happenings). We are always here to support and sponsor worthy causes in the community, so be sure to let me know about any events we might be a part of.

In the upcoming April issue, we have special advertising opportunities for Chef Profiles, the Flavor Dining Guide, and the Home Resource Guide. Please reach out to me if you are interested in advertising in any of these sections. Enjoy some outside time in March, and I hope to see you around town!

Native FLORA

Growing a healthy, lush landscape in South Florida means contending with blistering summer heat, pests, and soil that is more sand than dirt. Native plants accustomed to Florida conditions provide not only a hardy choice for your yard but are environmentally sensitive as well.

Defined as “species occurring within the state boundaries prior to European contact,” native plants have existed in Florida for thousands of years and have naturally adapted to our area’s unique conditions. Since they are used to thriving naturally, they require less irrigation, thus reducing water usage. They also require less fertilizer and pest control, eliminating the need to introduce chemicals into the environment. Conversely, invasive species often disrupt the natural balance of our environment. Also known as “exotics,” invasive plants are defined as “species that are non-native to the ecosystem and whose introduction is likely to cause economic or environmental harm.”

“You should grow plants with the biggest ability to host, then grow what you like,” says Amanda Pike, education chair and chapter representative of the Florida Native Plant Society’s Palm Beach County Chapter. At her home in Jupiter Farms, where she has created a permaculture “food forest” with native species

supporting a variety of plants that not only thrive but also feed her family, Pike points out a large oak tree as an example of a host species. “Oaks are the number-one guardian plant to have,” she says. “They host 395 species of caterpillars. Caterpillars feed birds, and then birds do pest management.”

Many locals are familiar with native plants but may not be fully aware of their many uses. For example, fire bush is a popular addition to landscapes because of its pretty, bright red, tubular flowers. But it also has medicinal properties including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and diuretic treatments. (In Mexico, the berries are made into wine.) Turn the page for a few native species to plant at your home. palmbeach.fnpschapters.org —Valerie Staggs

3 native beauties to add to your landscape

Oak Tree

Oak trees not only provide much needed shade, but they also support more moths and butterflies, which are vital to a healthy ecosystem, than any other native tree species.

SMALL TOWN STAPLE

Purple Coneflower

This native wildflower has striking daisy-like blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Also known as echinacea, the purple coneflower also has healing properties and can help ward off sickness.

Eric Brush is somewhat of a Houdini in the boating industry. His magical talent for making hard-to-find boat parts appear out of thin air has earned him the gratitude of frustrated boat owners around the world.

Brush, the owner of Sportfish Outfitters in Jupiter, developed this talent more than a decade ago when he was working in boat building, repair, and restoration at Smart Marine Solutions (SMS) in Riviera Beach. “Back then, you really had to search for parts,” he says. “It was very frustrating because there was no central location.”

Swamp Sunflower

The swamp sunflower has bright yellow flowers with brown centers. It is low-maintenance and tolerant of Florida’s heat, plus it attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Realizing a growing need, he opened Sportfish Outfitters as an offshoot of SMS in 2015, and the shop quickly became a hub for boaters looking for a central location to source parts, gear, and supplies. Locals shop at the Jupiter store on Alt-A1A near Indiantown Road, while boaters worldwide can visit the company’s website to search an inventory of more than 25,000 products.

Brush, who graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in marine affairs, has always enjoyed building and restoring boats and being on the water. He

used to race power boats and is an avid angler. “I love blue marlin fishing,” says Brush, whose record catch is a 722-pound marlin he landed in 2016.

He is also passionate about keeping the local boating community tight. “Jupiter is a fishing and boating town, and I’d like to ensure we maintain that,” he says. At Sportfish Outfitters, he hosts monthly happy hours in conjunction with White’s Tackle (previously Grand Slam Tackle) next door, which he owns 50 percent of along with his partner, Scott Crippen. On the first Wednesday of every month, locals can enjoy drinks and grilled food from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Brush also is an active supporter of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, and Sportfish Outfitters will soon be carrying a Lighthouse Collection of apparel with part of the proceeds donated to the lighthouse.

Despite running a business that ships products around the world, Brush’s heart remains in Jupiter: “I like the small business aspect and the idea of everyone supporting everyone in a small town.” sportfishoutfitters.com —Valerie Staggs

OSole MIIO

A NEW JUPITER BOUTIQUE BRINGS EXCLUSIVE ITALIAN GOODS STATESIDE

by LIZA GRANT SMITH

You no longer need a passport and a plane ticket to Milan to stock your closet with fabulous Italian wares. Simply head to the new MIIO boutique in Jupiter’s Driftwood Plaza to discover unique finds from authentic Italian artisans.

For more than three decades, Laura and John Mariano made regular trips to Italy to explore their heritage, enjoying incredible experiences and falling in love with the country’s people and goods. In 2021, the couple founded MIIO Enterprises with the goal of bringing Italian products steeped in craftsmanship and beauty to the U.S. market. “We spent the last 18 months identifying, screening, and selecting suppliers based on each one’s unique productions and fit within our curated MIIO experience,” says Laura. “We met with almost every supplier in Italy—we visited their families and toured their factories and stores to be sure each fit within our mission.”

The result is a beautifully designed storefront that, upon entry, gives one the sense that you are walking into a true Italian boutique. The walls are painted with gorgeous murals, and Italian videos play on monitors around the space. MIIO—which stands for “Made in Italy Only”—launched a soft opening in November and, at press time, was set to officially open in early February. The boutique is stocked with Italian-made items including everything from leather handbags and jewelry to home goods and clothing, and every product has a rich story from the family business behind it. The boutique name is also a nod to the Italian personal possessive mio, to highlight the originality of the store’s products. One would be hard-pressed to find these products anywhere else but in the streets and alleyways of Italian cities and villages—more than half of the shop’s approximately 25 suppliers are exclusive to MIIO in the United States.

Some covetable items at MIIO at the moment are the stunning jewelry pieces, which Laura notes “have already become a hit” with locals. “We also exclusively carry the

Float Collection and PluMy duvets—the first down fabric in the world created from a patented eco-sustainable process for the warmest and lightest duvet anywhere,” she adds. “Our proprietary in-house men’s button-down and linen polo shirts are made from the finest fabrics out of Como and finished by legendary Italian shirtmakers. And for the snowbirds, we have fabulous custom reversible fur vests produced in a small atelier in Florence.” Clients have the ability to customize their purchases to create one-of-a-kind items, she notes. They also carry a fully Italian-made sunglass brand, JB3 Eyewear, created by their son, JB. buymiio.com ❖

The Kindness of Strangers

WHEN A COUPLE HE HAD NEVER MET GIFTED HIM WITH ONE YEAR’S SALARY TO FOLLOW HIS PASSION, STUART RESIDENT SETH RAY USED IT TO HELP THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD

by VALERIE STAGGS

Ten years ago, Seth Ray found himself standing in a small village in Haiti and knew his life would never be the same. “I had never been out of the country, had never seen poverty,” recalls Ray, 41. “It ruined my life.”

Ray had volunteered for a mission trip through Christ Fellowship Church in Stuart. When he and his fellow volunteers arrived in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, they were met by a local pastor who took them outside the capital city and

showed them a dilapidated building that was serving as a school. Ray noticed a chained-up water well next to the school. When he questioned the pastor about it, he learned the well was broken. “I asked how much it would cost to fix it, and he said around $100,” Ray recalls. “Then I asked how many families the well would provide water for, and he told me 2,000.”

Shocked that just $100 could impact so many people, Ray took up a collection

among the volunteers and quickly raised the money to fix the well. “Before then, I didn’t know there were places where clean water was a problem,” he says.

As he traveled on other mission trips, Ray realized that clean water was the catalyst to improving the lives of people in countless remote and rural communities around the world. He knew he had to find a way to bring clean water to people like those he had met in Haiti. But as a dad with four kids, he couldn’t exactly afford to leave his job to pursue his passion full-time.

That’s when fate stepped in. Just before Christmas in 2018, Ray received a phone call from a couple he had never met who were interested in learning more about his mission trips and desire to help people gain access to clean water. Apparently, a mutual friend had told the couple about Ray, and they were intrigued. They invited him to dinner, where they talked all about Ray’s passion. Ray then left town for the holidays, and when he returned home there was a letter waiting for him in the mail. He recalls: “It read, ‘We’re super proud of what you’re doing. Here’s one year’s salary.’” It was from the random couple he had just met.

He tried calling the couple, but the phone number was no longer in service. He emailed, but the message bounced back. Perplexed but extremely grateful,

COURTESY OF SETH RAY

Seth Ray in Haiti with Go.Build.Love.

Ray left his job that February and set off to launch his foundation, Go.Build.Love. “I thank God for them often,” he says of the generous couple. “Go.Build.Love. is what it is today because of their investment. They gave GBL wings.”

Ray and the GBL team go into communities where clean water is not available and meet with community leaders to assess their situation, asking questions like how many homes are in the community, where their drinking water is sourced, and the health of residents. They provide the community with enough GBL water filters for every family and train community leaders on distribution of the filters and how to help families use them.

Each filter has a barcode with a GIS tracking system so GBL can collect data on the families and measure the impact of clean water on their health. The data can also be reported directly to donors. “We want to connect what we’re doing with our donors,” explains Ray. “Each month, donors get info on where their filter is and the impact it is having.”

Donors pay just $70 to provide a filter for a family. If used properly, that filter can last up to 20 years.

GBL’s mission doesn’t end with clean water. Once that need has been met, the team returns to the community to find out what else they may need to thrive. Typically, community leaders ask for

vital resources like churches, schools, and clinics. GBL then raises money to fund construction of these projects. The organization also operates Rok & Wtr (rokandwtr.com), a frozen treat company in Port St. Lucie, and a portion of every sale goes back to Go.Build.Love. to help fund various projects.

Now in 12 countries, Go.Build.Love.

has distributed more than 10,000 water filters and brought clean water to more than 55,000 people all over the globe. This year, Ray projects his organization will distribute more than 15,000 additional filters. “I want to see communities that are actually changed,” he says. “I am trying to leave a legacy that matters.” gobuildlove.org ❖

THE CATALYTIC PHILANTHROPIST ™

Audacious thinking brought the University of Florida to Jupiter, to seize the opportunity to further its mission to improve patient care for all. The catalyst between UF and The Scripps Research Institute in California was philanthropist Dr. Herbert Wertheim, who proposed the merger and worked behind the scenes to make it happen.

Then Dr. Wertheim went one step beyond.

He pledged $100 million toward UF’s new Palm Beach County campus, 100 acres spanning Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens. The gift keyed a $1 billion fundraising drive to take the newly named Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology to its place among the world’s greatest scientific institutions.

Dr. Wertheim is a humanitarian whose invention of an eyeglass tint to protect against ultraviolet light and his more than 100 patents in the field

of vision have enhanced eyesight and prevented blindness for millions. His gifts to universities throughout the nation have furthered his goals of education and research to prevent human disease. He helped UF turn his $50 million contribution to its Wertheim College of Engineering into $400 million, fully $150 million more than expected.

To recognize Dr. Wertheim and establish the first Herbert Wertheim Humanitarian Medal, the University of Florida will honor him at a medal ceremony on March 4. The medal is the most prestigious recognition bestowed by the university, awarded to dynamic and audacious leaders who foster innovation and positive change to help meet the world’s greatest challenges.

ONE OF FLORIDA’S TOP-RANKED CHARTER CAPTAINS WELCOMES 2023 WITH A BRAND-NEW CONTENDER 39 ST

by GEORGE LABONTE

Despite Stuart’s notoriety as the “Sailfish Capital of the World,” the fishing community here is a small, tightly knit group. If you’re a charter captain in a city of fewer than 20,000 residents, your reputation stays with you for better or worse. If you can thrive in the same location for a quarter century, you must be doing something right.

With old-school roots dating back to 1995 working as a mate on the legendary Boneshaker out of Sailfish Marina, Captain Scott Fawcett clearly fits this description. Fawcett worked his way up through the ranks in the industry, from mate to captain on the Boneshaker. Since 2012, he has been the owner/operator of his own vessel, Off the Chain, a Contender 31.

Solid evidence of how 25 years of “doing it right” ultimately pays off rests in a new slip at Sailfish Marina next to the original 31-foot Off the Chain in the form of a brand-new, larger Contender 39 ST

Veteran Stuart charter Captain Scott Fawcett has a new Contender 39 ST, which he outfitted with a custom gap tower (below).

model. Fawcett considers himself fortunate to head into 2023 with a larger, more comfortable rig while allowing a new, younger crew to continue running his original 31-foot model.

LENGTH: 39 feet

BEAM: 10 feet, 10 inches

The Contender 39 ST offers a number of advantages for both Fawcett and his clients. In addition to the obvious benefit of a larger and more comfortable platform, Fawcett carefully designed the layout and equipment to suit his very specific needs. From a comfort standpoint, the typical sloppy winter sailfish conditions found off the Treasure Coast are greatly softened with the addition of a Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer. Visibility is a key factor in Fawcett’s fishing program, and the view from a custom gap tower is a huge advantage. In a live bait–driven fishery, the ability to carry massive quantities of bait is important. The 39 ST features three 45-gallon transom wells and an 85-gallon tank below deck aft. Insulated storage for everything from multiple large tuna to food and drinks is plentiful above and below deck. The most advanced GPS charting and 3-D

side-scan fish-finding technology is included in matching 19-inch Humminbird Apex MFD units at the helm and a 13-inch unit in the tower. Comfortable seating fore and aft for guests in no way interferes with the open-deck layout for anglers. The Contender 39 ST is powered by triple Yamaha 4.2L 300-hp engines that offer better than 1.2-mpg economy, which is impressive for a vessel in this class.

The notion that Fawcett’s career has come full circle on the very same dock it began on is not insignificant. Providing the next generation of Stuart captains the same pathway to opportunity that he had while moving comfortably into his next chapter is a fitting example of how this traditional old-school trade was meant to be run. ❖

EVERGLADES

A SUBTROPICAL STAYCATION IN THE SWAMP

by PAUL RUBIO

Spanning more than 2,400 square miles, most of which remains impenetrable, Everglades National Park is an untamed beast of subtropical wilderness that begs an honest question from luxury travelers: Is it possible to immerse in these extreme wilds without completely roughing it?

The short answer is yes, thanks namely to Clyde Butcher, the celebrated photographer synonymous with the Florida Everglades. On the park’s outskirts but still within the Everglades’ ecosystem in Big Cypress National Preserve, Butcher invites travelers to experience the best of the region through his Big Cypress Gallery swamp rentals (explorebigcypress.com). The duo of accommodations—one a cozy one-bedroom bungalow and the second a two-bedroom, family-friendly cottage—are located directly behind

Butcher’s gallery (clydebutcher.com), where his blackand-white masterpieces are on display. (Many of these captivating images were snapped in the swamplands surrounding the cottages.) A standout of staying at the cottages—besides breakfast with baby gators and wading birds at your feet—is a guided swamp walk eco-tour, which entails getting up close and personal with the Everglades by slogging waist-deep through the flooded terrain.

The rentals’ prime location also puts other Everglades highlights within reach.

Earth FIRST D

Inspired by their eco-minded children, Jupiter residents David Vogel and Thais Lopez Vogel are addressing climate change through their VoLo Foundation

by PAIGE BOWERS

avid Vogel and his wife, Thais Lopez Vogel, share a passion for protecting the environment that was sparked almost two decades ago by their blended brood of children. “I remember when my oldest daughter was 7 years old, she was crying in the corner one Fourth of July because she said the fireworks were killing the polar bears,” recalls Thais. The Venezuelan native had met David in 2005 when they were both living in Orlando, and the two married in 2007, merging their collective four children from previous marriages into a family unit.

Their quartet of kiddos soon wondered aloud why they didn’t use eco-friendly spiral light bulbs in the house and began asking their parents to make some changes. Says Thais: “That became the driver for what we did next.”

A data scientist with degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and New York University, David pored over research about the planet’s rapidly rising temperatures and determined that climate change was the single-biggest threat to Earth. Understanding that was

one thing, but communicating it to the public in a way that would drive positive change was something else entirely. That’s where Thais came in.

As a former attorney for a petroleum company, Thais was well-versed in using facts to craft a compelling case. “I believe when you speak with your heart, people listen,” she says.

The couple moved to Jupiter in 2014—they live in Admiral’s Cove and also have a property in Abacoa—and became parents to newborn twins. They also committed themselves to creating a better world for those kids to live in, launching the VoLo Foundation the same year. VoLo, explains Thais, is a mashup of the couple’s last names— and a merging of their passions, priorities, and expertise.

Since its inception, VoLo has funded projects in the realms of education, health care and the environment that support a healthier, more sustainable planet. Seventy percent of VoLo’s contributions, says Thais, target science-based climate solutions. Among its many beneficiaries and partners are local groups including the Cox Science Center and Aquarium, Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park,

and The Everglades Foundation, as well as national and global organizations like the Environmental Defense Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and the World Wildlife Fund.

“It’s not a red or blue issue,” says Thais, noting the partisan politics that have impeded progress in combating climate change. “It’s a green issue. When a hurricane comes, it doesn’t care where the Democrats or Republicans are. It’s going to come.”

Case in point: Hurricane Ian, which devastated coastal communities like Fort Myers and Naples before deluging other parts of the state last September. CoreLogic, a global property data and analytics provider, estimated the damage from the storm to be as much as $70 billion. CoreLogic also pointed out that the costs go far beyond that when you consider the residents who were displaced and the housing costs that will likely skyrocket as a result. Not to mention the

fact that citrus, cattle, vegetable, and melon farmers also suffered staggering losses, according to the University of Florida, which will only drive prices for those goods higher.

“If you connect the dots, you see how everything is driven by climate change,” Thais says. “If we don’t act, future generations will live with the consequences.”

Florida is one of the areas on the planet most affected by global warming. According to VoLo’s 2022 annual report, the state experiences an average of 25 dangerously hot days a year and has faced seven consecutive above-average hurricane seasons and rising sea levels of an inch every three years. Local government has invested more than $1 billion in new infrastructure that can withstand rising seas and destructive storms, but Thais believes it is important to address the root causes of these issues, things like greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. “Environmental education needs to start at home,” she says. “Talking about things like not wasting food, reusing holiday ribbon, composting, and turning off the lights should be conversations that are not taboo.”

Builders, too, need to craft more thoughtful communities, Thais says. She points to Babcock Ranch near Fort Myers, a master-planned community that made it through Ian without losing power because it was designed with severe weather in mind. The ranch’s solar panels and underground power lines weren’t impacted by strong winds, and retaining ponds kept floodwater at bay.

VoLo strives to educate people who are looking to make a difference by sharing information about best practices through social media and on its Climate Correction podcast. The foundation also hosts an annual Florida Climate Week conference (floridaclimateweek.org), gathering industry leaders and environmental advocates to discuss

exactly how the state is being harmed by climate change and encourage people to become part of the solution. “It’s hard to change behaviors and ways of thinking, but when you speak from the heart and show people what’s right in front of their eyes, you can get there,” says Thais.

VoLo provides funding to organizations globally, but a majority of their outreach is focused on Florida. Of the 106 organizations the foundation funded in 2022, 70 were based in state. With VoLo’s support, Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park, for example, is now able to bring in students from Title I schools to learn about the 438-acre park’s natural habitats and how to protect them.

Facts drive the projects VoLo funds, and Thais and David put their passion and expertise behind everything they do. “There is a saying that information without data is just an opinion,” Thais says. “David lives by that, and with his focus on the science and the numbers, you get a sense of the impact [of climate change]. Not everyone understands the science and the technology behind it, so I am the bridge between what David does in the lab

“

You have to have both data and heart to be an effective philanthropist.”

and everyday people. You have to have both data and heart to be an effective philanthropist.”

Looking forward, Thais believes that one of the most important environmental factors Florida faces right now is the $62.7 billion in Inflation Reduction Act funds

that will be coming into the state to create clean energy and transportation jobs. “It could go amazing, or it could go sideways,” she says. “The main thing is, we need to look at how we are using these funds, and of course we want to make sure [the money] goes to climate change and the environment. It will be a big challenge for the state.”

She is cautiously optimistic—because of the young people who, like her children, are driving so much change. Thais points to 25-year-old Maxwell Frost as an example, the Orlando-based progressive activist who became the youngest elected member of Congress last fall. “He is a hero on climate and is trying to speak out to depoliticize this mess,” she says.

David, meanwhile, will be pouring more of his energy into VoLo Foundation’s Health Initiative in 2023, conducting research on how longevity and wellness are impacted by climate change.

Juggling the demands of a growing foundation with the challenges of raising 8-year-old twins is no small feat, but Thais says she approaches each day with discipline and organization. “You can do it all,” she says. “You can be a good mother, educator, and citizen. Your kids may not always listen to you, but they are watching what you do. Some mothers may worry about whether they are doing enough, or doing it right, but it will all be okay. As long as you model certain behaviors at home, they will grow up and be good kids.”

Presumably, their children will also carry on the Earth work they inspired their mother and father to begin. volofoundation.org ❖

LOCAL OFFSHOOTS OF THE FLORIDA NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL PROVIDE THE PERFECT TERRAIN FOR OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS

by TRACY MARCELLO

Anyone who has ever succumbed to wanderlust has likely heard of (or stepped foot on) the country’s two most traversed National Scenic Trails: the Pacific Crest Trail on the West Coast and its East Coast counterpart, the Appalachian Trail. But Floridians don’t need to travel nearly as far to go for an exhilarating hike in the woods.

“Almost every Floridian is within an hour of the Florida Trail, yet no one knows we’re here,” says Jenna Taylor, program manager for the Florida Trail Association’s (FTA) central and south regions. “While we don’t have peaks, we have such beautiful sweeping views that are just as spectacular.”

One of only three National Scenic Trails contained in one state (along with the Arizona Trail and the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin), the Florida Trail spans roughly 1,500 miles from the southern

The Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail is one of the Florida National Scenic Trail’s spur trails..

terminus in Big Cypress National Preserve to Gulf Islands National Seashore in the panhandle. Officially designated a National Scenic Trail in 1983, the Florida Trail allows nature enthusiasts to explore our state’s most remote and undisturbed areas, through cypress swamps and pine flatwoods, in search of ghost orchids, migratory birds, and the elusive Florida panther.

“We’re fighting a losing battle against developers, and remembering that we have these spaces is so important,” says Taylor, who, along with the U.S. Forest Service and a team of volunteers from local FTA chapters, maintains a portion of the trail and its offshoots (called spur trails) for recreational use.

While the 113-mile stretch around Lake Okeechobee is the only official section of the Florida Trail located in Palm Beach and Martin counties, several of its spur trails are much closer. Jonathan Dickinson State Park is home to the Green and White Trails, named for their corresponding trail markers. These trails bring day hikers over ancient sand dunes and through palmetto and oak hammocks and are maintained by the FTA’s Loxahatchee chapter (the Tropical Trekkers chapter maintains other spur trails throughout Martin and St. Lucie counties).

“I always caution new hikers that Florida is not just flat—there’s definitely a lot of diversity in the terrain—so they need to be prepared for that,” says Taylor, who also notes that the Florida Trail and its offshoots will likely be wet during hiking season from October to March. “The sooner you learn to embrace it and walk right through the water, the better,” she adds.

Hikers who are ready to get their feet wet should consider traversing the Florida Trail’s local hidden gem: the Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail (OTLHT). This 61-mile spur trail is marked with orange

GEAR UP!

• A small backpack or hydration pack (like a CamelBak) can carry essentials like water and snacks during day hikes; a 50-liter pack will give you plenty of room for multiday hikes. A common recommendation is to carry no more than 20 percent of your body weight—that’s roughly 30 pounds for a 150-pound hiker.

• Trail runners allow excess water to drain during wet hikes and prevent blisters (regular sneakers will work in a pinch). Avoid boots or other footwear with waterproofing materials like Gore-Tex, which can trap water and moisture.

• Trekking poles keep you from tripping over roots and rocks and provide better balance so you can look ahead, rather than at your feet. Wrap some duct tape around each pole so you have it on hand for things like tent repairs.

• Durable wool socks (like Darn Tough socks) regulate body temperature to keep your feet from sweating, add cushioning, and prevent blisters. Add medical-grade sports tape to your first-aid kit to cover hot spots on long hikes.

• A reusable water bottle or bladder is critical for day trips. Two liters should suffice for a two-to three-hour hike. For longer hikes, a water-filtration system (Iike the Sawyer Squeeze) allows you to filter water directly from backcountry sources. Add an electrolyte powder to your filtered water to enhance the taste and replenish nutrients lost through sweat.

• Sunscreen and bug spray with DEET should be applied before any hiking trip, even in overcast or dry conditions. A hat and neck buff add further protection from bugs and sun exposure.

• A sleeping pad adds much-needed support when sleeping on the ground. Cut an accordionstyle sleeping pad down to fit your specific height to save space and weight in your pack.

• An area map or trail app will keep you on track when blazes aren’t visible. The FarOut app includes the Florida Trail and the OTLHT. Don’t forget a portable phone charger!

Be prepared for wet terrain, unrelenting sunshine, and insects with these guide-recommended essentials

Find Your Trail

BEGINNER

Nearly impossible to get lost, dry terrain, restrooms and water fountains available

Riverbend Park, Jupiter: This 665-acre regional park offers 15 miles of well-marked nature trails spanning pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, oak hammocks, and wet prairies. Look out for whitetailed deer, river otters, alligators, and wild turkeys as you hike along the Loxahatchee River.

Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, Hobe Sound: This family-friendly sand trail at Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge traverses through hilly scrub dunes, a palm hammock, and a mangrove forest to the Indian River Lagoon. Watch for yellow-crowned night herons, osprey, and least terns along the .7-mile loop. (An all-terrain wheelchair is available for trail use at the nature center.)

Petravice Family Preserve, Fort Pierce: Originally slated for a townhome development, the Petravice family preserved this 35-acre space as public land in 2022. A wide and flat 1.5-mile loop trail leads to a bridge over the north fork of the St. Lucie River and connects to Captain Hammond’s Hammock Preserve.

INTERMEDIATE

Bring a trail map, option to camp overnight

DuPuis Wildlife and Environmental Area, Palm Beach and Martin counties: This 21,875-acre natural area is interspersed with ponds, wet prairies, cypress domes, pine flatwoods, and marsh. Choose from four hiking loops ranging from 5 to 15 miles. Campsites are available (Miller recommends Loop 4 for an overnight trip). Visit myfwc.com to check seasonal hunting dates and obtain permits for group camping.

Kitching Creek Trail, Hobe Sound: This out-and-back Jonathan Dickinson State Park trail winds through roughly 5 miles of pine flatwoods and along creeks to a primitive campsite with room for several tents. Call the ranger station in advance to obtain a backcountry permit and pick up a trail map upon arrival. (Beginner option: The Hobe Mountain Trail is a .4-mile boardwalk leading through sand pine scrub to an observation tower with 360-degree views of the park and the Atlantic Ocean.)

ADVANCED

Prepare for an hours-long day hike through varied terrain

Steven J. Fousek Preserve, Port St. Lucie: While this 494-acre park offers trails for all skill levels, a 10-mile hike through Paleo, Hackberry, and Teague Preserves will give you the best opportunity to see hickory, Florida elm, sugarberry, live oak, and several species of birds and other native wildlife. Access a map of the entire trail system at the kiosk in Paleo Hammock.

Cypress Creek Natural Area, Jupiter: Spanning both sides of Indiantown Road, this hike winds through more than 2,000 acres of hydric hammocks, dome swamps, and more. Miller recommends this trail to hikers who want to be in a wooded area but notes that some of the trails are not well-marked. Be prepared with bug spray, sunscreen, food, water, and a map.

blazes and runs from Hobe Sound Beach to Lake Okeechobee, taking hikers through ecosystems that change roughly every mile. While there are several opportunities to hike short sections, FTA Loxahatchee chapter chair Janet Miller recommends backpacking (or “throughhiking”) the trail over several days.

“You don’t realize it until you’re out there, but there are so many beautiful wildflowers; there’s always something blooming,” says Miller, who has been volunteering with the Loxahatchee chapter since 2011 and is one of several volunteers who mow, blaze, and otherwise maintain the trail. “When you see the cypress trees and the bromeliads in bloom, it’s really unique and beautiful. The sound,

the smell… There’s just something about it.”

Backpackers have several options for through-hiking the OTLHT. Experienced hikers can visit loxfltrail.org for a trail map and information on camping permits, prescribed burn closures, and hunting season dates. Beginners can either use the Loxahatchee chapter’s Meetup page to sign up for a volunteer-led group

trip (hiking and backpacking trips are free for anyone wanting to attend, though FTA membership is encouraged) or register for Hike2O, an annual backpacking trip cohosted by the FTA and Loggerhead Marinelife Center.

“There will always be people who need and want to connect to the ocean in different ways,” says Hannah Campbell, an FTA volunteer activity leader and president of Loggerhead’s education division. “We thought a really cool opportunity to do that would be to take them on a hike and introduce them to the coastal ecosystems that are intrinsically connected to the ocean.”

Now in its fourth year, the 33-mile Hike20 trek covers roughly half of the OTLHT over three days and requires participants to have their own backpack, tent, water-filtration system, and food. Nightly conservation talks led by Campbell and other Loggerhead staff and FTA trail leaders round out the long weekend, which takes place March 3-5 this year.

“We’ve created a space where participants can feel comfortable that they’re in good hands with trained and experienced people and that they’re not going to be ridiculed or shamed for having questions,” says Campbell. “It’s a good introduction to incorporate camping and backpacking into their lifestyle so they can reach some of these more inaccessible natural areas.”

Unlike other FTA-led hikes, Hike2O is a fundraiser for Loggerhead’s Oceans of Opportunity initiative, which grants

scholarship funding and support services to underserved and underrepresented students in Palm Beach and Martin counties. “It’s not just about the people who participate, it’s also about building that legacy for the next generation and creating the opportunity to engage with their ecosystem and the ocean in a meaningful way,” Campbell says.

Campbell has hiked with the FTA since childhood and loves encouraging people to test their skills and learn more about their state’s public lands on a nearby trail. “I am definitely the person who is advocating that there is legitimate and beautiful hiking in Florida,” she says, adding that taking a naturalist course or reading about local flora and fauna before any hike is a good idea.

“A lot of people are drawn to the OTLHT because they like the challenge,” she says. “It’s a physical challenge, it’s an emotional challenge, it’s an adventure—but the fringe benefit to all of those things is building a positive relationship with adults in nature. Wild Florida can seem uninspiring to the untrained eye, but its ecosystems are incredibly unique and full of life if you look closely.”

Leave No Trace!

The Florida Trail Association abides by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics’ seven guiding principles and encourages local outdoor enthusiasts to do the same. Please do your part to support and protect nature (lnt.org)

1. Plan ahead and prepare.

• Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you’ll visit.

• Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies.

2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces.

• Durable surfaces include maintained trails and designated campsites, gravel, sand, or dry grasses. Camp at least 200 feet from lakes and streams.

• Walk single file in the middle of the trail, even when wet or muddy.

3. Dispose of waste properly.

• Inspect your campsite for trash or spilled food. Pack all leftover food, toilet paper, and litter.

• Utilize toilet facilities whenever possible. Otherwise, dig a 6- to 8-inch deep cathole at least 200 feet away from water, camp, and trails.

4. Leave what you find.

• Leave rocks, plants, and other natural objects as you found them.

• Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species.

5. Minimize campfire impacts.

• Use a lightweight stove or established fire rings for cooking and keep fires small.

• Use only dead wood from the ground that can be broken by hand. Burn all wood and coals to ash, put out campfires completely, then scatter cool ashes.

6. Respect wildlife.

• Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow, approach, or feed animals.

• Protect wildlife and your food by storing rations and trash securely.

7. Be considerate of other visitors.

• Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail.

• Let nature’s sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises.

Six industry experts shared their professional knowledge with us, and it’s our pleasure to pass it along to you. Read on to learn about them in exclusive Q&As for your eyes only.

THE EXPERTS IN ARTISTIC INSPIRATION

MARK PINSKY, MD Pinsky Plastic Surgery

Q+A

ARE THERE ANY NEW TREATMENTS BEING OFFERED AT PINSKY PLASTIC SURGERY?

Dr. Mark Pinsky is one of the most respected plastic surgeons in southeastern Florida. Known for his proficiency, artistry, and natural-looking surgical results, he owes his success in part to his commitment to offering innovative treatments–including the Pinsky Profile™, the new signature procedure at Pinsky Plastic Surgery.

WHY SHOULD PATIENTS BE EXCITED ABOUT PINSKY PROFILES™?

Dr. Pinsky developed the Pinsky Profile™ to help patients obtain results similar to those of a surgical facelift in a less invasive fashion. It is the first treatment of its kind that can comprehensively sculpt and define the lower face without the need for intensive surgery.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A PINSKY PROFILE™?

Candidates include patients who want to contour the lower portion of their face and upper neck.

HOW IS THE PINSKY PROFILE™ TREATMENT PERFORMED?

The Pinsky Profile™ involves a combination of three advanced techniques: FaceTite™, MYEllevate®, and liposuction. FaceTite™ applies radiofrequency (RF) energy to eliminate fat and tighten the skin beneath the face and neck, whereas MYEllevate® employs the ICLED® light-guided suture system to address muscle laxity in the neck. Meanwhile, liposuction can combat unwanted submental and neck fat.

FINE JEWELRY AND WATCHES

SETH BERMAN, MANAGING PARTNER

Provident Jewelry

Q+A

WHY ARE PREOWNED WATCHES GAINING POPULARITY?

Due to the pandemic, there is a massive inventory shortage of new watches. This fuels demand for preowned timepieces and drives up value. We’re seeing a similar phenomenon in other luxury industries. Vintage and collectible timepieces are becoming especially popular. In the past two years, pre-owned value has gone through the roof with several watch auction records being broken.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BUYING PREOWNED WATCHES?

It’s a great way to get the most value out of a luxury timepiece. With certain brands, the first buyer has already taken the hit on initial depreciation. When you buy on the secondary market, your watch will better maintain its value toward future upgrades and trades.

HOW CAN YOU FIND A REPUTABLE SELLER?

Buying online can be risky because it’s difficult to determine authenticity. The best way to know you’re getting an authentic timepiece is by working with experts at an established local retailer. Provident Jewelry has been doing business in the community for almost 30 years and we guarantee the authenticity of pre-owned timepieces. Customers can feel confident buying with us because we have an in-house master watchmaker and offer a full-year warranty on pre-owned timepieces.

SQUEEZE

At first glance, Ethan Jaudas’ career trajectory—from racing dirt bikes to opening Jupiter’s newest juicery— may seem a bit peculiar. But a thread connects every move. “There’s a bit of a method to the madness,” assures Jaudas, owner of Golden Juicery in the Bluffs Square Shoppes.

Golden Juicery, which opened last August, is the 28-year-old’s second act—and it stands to be as successful as the first. Originally from Philadelphia, Jaudas competed in dirt bike racing from ages 3 to 19, securing several national championships along the way. During the cold Philly winters, he would train at his aunt and uncle’s place in Hobe Sound. But in 2013, a major knee injury sidelined him, and when he returned to the sport a year later, he reinjured the knee.

“I had been groomed for racing my entire life, so it was like, what do I do now?” Jaudas recalls. He moved to California to train a friend and fellow bike racer, Aaron Plessinger. While there, he took some time to educate himself on things like nutrition and sports endurance training, received several certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and studied with other professionals. Jaudas’ training and nutrition guidance

helped Plessinger win two world titles over the next four years. The year 2019 brought Jaudas another health issue—this time his lymphatic system. “Cancer is in my family, and I was terrified about the possible outcome,” he says. “I had been dealing with these issues for a year and half when I started to study the benefits of holistic health. I did a 21-day green cleanse, and everything that I was dealing with essentially just dissipated.

FORMER DIRT BIKE RACER ETHAN JAUDAS IS ON A MISSION TO CREATE A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY VIA HIS NEW SHOP, GOLDEN JUICERY

That was the motivation for me to move back to Jupiter and open Golden Juicery.”

With Golden Juicery (named for his golden retriever, Charlie), Jaudas sought to build a highlevel nutrition shop and create an environment that encourages guests to linger. To bring health and fuel to customers and make those healthy options as accessible as possible, he partnered with many local vendors and farms. Every seating section boasts its own power outlet for convenience, and the space is outfitted with two extra routers to allow people to work hassle-free.

Popular menu items, notes Jaudas, are the Cacao Cookie Smoothie, the Berry Boast Acai Bowl, and the Vanilla Chai Smoothie with a shot of espresso (featuring Pumphouse Coffee, one of the juicery’s local partners).

If you’re an early riser, the shop has you covered with its Golden Hour, offering 15 percent off the coffee menu from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. There’s also a juice-cleanse program with three different level options and an inhouse recycling program—for every 10 glass bottles you bring into the store to recycle, you earn one free juice and shot.

FARM FRESH

“Golden Juicery has exceeded the expectations I had,” says Jaudas. “For me, it’s about impacting the community through nutrition and making people feel better. I think the mission we have and the product we’re putting out speak loudly.” goldenjuicery.com

The hydroponic farm at Taylor Farmhouse Café is one of Jupiter Farms’ hidden gems. Perhaps not so “hidden” if you are one of the restaurant’s many regulars, but for those who don’t venture down Jupiter Farms Road too often, it’s a charming find. About five years ago, owners Chris and Elizabeth Taylor brought in hydroponic engineer Kevin Osburn to bring their idea to life—a hydroponic farm that is the lifeline of all things green on the menu at the café. In addition to eight varieties of baby lettuces, the farm grows broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, tomatoes, sunflowers, and more. “I had a vision for this property,” says Chris, who is also the restaurant’s chef.

“I thought, how cool would it be to be a farmto-table restaurant that actually grows our own stuff?” Indeed, one of the most popular menu items is the arugula and crumbled goat cheese salad with candied pecans. Customers are also welcome to (respectfully) visit the farm and sample the goods. jupiterfarmhousecafe.com
