Skin Cancer Q&A

Janet Sperry, M.D.

Question: Can radiation be used to treat my skin cancer?

Answer:

There are many treatment options available to treat skin cancer. Radiation may be an option depending upon the type of skin cancer. The size, depth, location of the cancer and your age or any medical conditions you may have are the considerations.

Radiation is generally recommended for cancers located along the ears, eyelids, nose, or corners of the lips, as these sites can be difficult to reconstruct after surgery. Advantages of radiation are that the treatment is completely non-invasive, relatively pain-free, and provide excellent cure rates with beautiful cosmetic results. The superficial x-rays used only treat the skin and do not expose any other part of your body to radiation. Each treatment takes only a few minutes and total treatment time can vary between 3–6 weeks.

Young.

Live Retirement

We’ve heard it said that youth is wasted on the young. But youthfulness is really a state of mind. It’s an attitude that says why not. Of course.

I wonder. Yes, I can! It’s an irrepressible zest for life that imagines possibilities rather than setting limits. And it’s exactly that “Why not?” philosophy and “Of course we can!” attitude that went into planning The Arlington — Naples’ newest retirement community being built for people who imagine more and want more. Why not stop by The Arlington today and discover all the possibilities that await you.

Be In The Know.

PARADISE FOUND—Again

ome wonderful things are happening as I am out and about or communicating with friends.

Everyone seems to be saying, “Another great day in paradise, eh?” from my colleagues and neighbors to those brief conversations with adjoining tables as I grab lunch outside or hold a door open for someone while running errands.

And when I talk with friends in other parts of the country, or email them a picture snapped around here, or when they see our magazine, the response often is: “You are so lucky to live there! What a great place! I hope to join you there soon.”

Those responses were coming much less often as tougher and tougher times gripped the country. Now, however, even though far too many people still face struggles, I sense a renewed optimism and an almost infectious good cheer. Is it just me, or do you feel it, too? Times seem to be much better for most people in our community, and the feeling extends to those who would like to move here. Whatever apprehensions they may have had a couple of years ago have dissipated and have been replaced with a well-warranted eagerness.

The people who do research for our magazines would equate my observations with “qualitative analysis.” They are not “statistically significant,” but they are the results of what people are saying in their own words compared to “quantitative analysis,” which is writing down a number or choosing something on a list that can be tabulated.

In our business, we watch the quantitative data, of course; both our company’s and the economy’s as a whole, especially in the demand for luxury goods (which continue trending quite nicely, I’m happy to say). Experience tells me that as important as the quantitative is, the qualitative—the feelings I’m hearing, the confidence and optimism I’m sensing—are significant precursors to the numbers.

So, for all those people who are vocalizing what a great place this is, I’m with you. Paradise was lost only for a moment in time.

Welcome back, or come on down. It’s here for the taking.

From The Editor

SEASONAL SPLENDOR nyone who complains that Southwest Florida suffers from a lack of seasons clearly hasn’t experienced the frenetic pace of luncheons, galas, concerts, committee meetings and social events that characterize the calendar. Some days require multiple outfit changes (occasionally with coats and mittens, see page 70) to go from one fabulous event to the next, morning to evening.

Sure, our season is not designated by snow or splendid fall color, but its impact is often more lasting, and for many who work with nonprofit organizations in other places, more impressive.

This season marked notable departures, with the retirement of Myra Janco Daniels from the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts, and Tom Monaghan from his active role running Ave Maria University. Pets were paraded, pink was worn, fashion designers visited and incredible theme decor transformed ballrooms and gathering places. Through it all, astonishing amounts of money were raised for area (and out of area) nonprofits.

The conversation overheard during many cocktail hours has been about the dizzying pace that has some feeling breathless, without much time to pause and reflect. With that in mind, we put together some highlights of the season in this issue, offering a chance to look back and relive memorable moments (page 68).

With so much going on, we can only touch on some of the best moments of season through pictures. Even as we prepared this review, fundraising and social events continued unabated.

Be sure to visit our website, naplesillustrated.com, for a more complete snapshot of the parties and people that make up the area’s festive fun.

BEST FOOT FORWARD Bruno Frisoni learned the art of design and beautiful things at a young age.

His mother, a tailor, would dress her four children in custom-made clothes.

Instead of custom clothes, though, he was drawn to shoes. Frisoni got his start in 1980 in Paris as an intern at Jean Louis Scherrer and then as a designer of couture shoes by Rene Mancini. He followed with stints at Lanvin and Christian Lacroix before launching his eponymous line of luxury shoes in 1999, a collection that was as famous for its elegance and sophistication as it was for its humor and impertinence. “I like to have fun when I do things,” Frisoni says.

“When you have fun drawing, imagining, at the end there is a positive feeling in it. It is conveyed in the end product. I am very spontaneous, sometimes too spontaneous. I have not been educated in the way that I don’t show my emotions. That’s the way I do things.”

Frisoni became the creative director of Roger Vivier in 2003, with the goal of making it into a true luxury accessories brand. He sat down with NI to talk about shoes and his design style. —Daphne Nikolopoulos

REYNALDO MARTIN

PASTELS FOR SPRING

After witnessing the unthinkable at 12 years old – her mother shot at the hands of her stepfather – Velma quit school and started picking in the fields of Immokalee to support her brothers and sisters.

Velma remained upbeat and had a family of her own, but then experienced multiple, devastating losses and trauma and was diagnosed with a debilitating health issue. She felt suicide was the only way to escape her sadness, fear and pain. For her children’s sake, she finally asked for help from the David Lawrence Center.

Here she found hope, healing and tools to cope with her mental and physical health problems by working with a case manager, therapist, and utilizing the Center’s new, innovative telemedicine technology to meet routinely with her psychiatrist in Naples remotely from the Immokalee office.

Her Mind is Our Concern.

Mental health is a community issue.

Fortunately, there’s a community solution.

Velma is among one in four in Collier County who suffer from a mental illness. One in nine of us will experience some form of substance abuse. When a family member, friend or coworker battles a mental health or substance abuse problem, we suffer with them.

Thankfully, David Lawrence Center is here for our community.

A not-for-profit organization founded and still governed by community leaders, the David Lawrence Center is the behavioral health component of our community’s healthcare network.

A true local resource, it relies on donations, fees and grants to invest in the health, safety and wellbeing of our community.

When you or someone you love needs help, call on the highly compassionate, committed and competent professionals of the David Lawrence Center to inspire you to move beyond the crisis towards life-changing wellness.

Intriguing

Author Karna Small Bodman drew on her experiences working in the Reagan White House as a senior director and spokeswoman for the National Security Council for her fourth novel, Castle Bravo, due out in May. In this White House thriller—a follow-on to her previous novel, Final Finesse— protagonist Samantha Reid, director of the White House Office of Homeland Security, joins forces with characters from previous novels to stop an attack on the United States.

A shadowy group plans to launch a nuclear device and detonate it 50 miles up in the air, creating a wide-ranging electromagnetic pulse that would fry all electronic devices on the ground—ending the electric grid, Internet, communications and more, setting us back 100 years. As in her previous novels, romantic intrigue ensues along with danger and suspense. NI talked with Bodman before she left Naples to promote the book in California and Washington, where she and her husband, Dick, have homes. —Kat Smith n Your books deal with national security threats that are not fictional at all.

What motivates your themes?

One of my favorite quotes is from George Bernard Shaw, who said, “The best way to get your point across is to entertain.”

I’m trying to get the point across that we should pay attention to these national security threats to our country, but I want people to have a good time when they’re reading the story. n Were you ever awestruck meeting world leaders during your career?

Certainly! One of the most impressive people, and I was honored to meet him twice, was Pope John Paul II. ... Obviously, the most important person in my work experience was President Reagan. He was kind, but on the other hand he had his values system. We had a pretty good idea how he was going to come down on whatever the issue was. ….

My first book was inspired by his Strategic Defense Initiative. I saw that all play out, and I wish the man were alive today to see that his dream of a system is working.

Happy Returns Mike Hernandez, a veteran of the Southwest Florida restaurant scene who has lived for the past 10 years in Montana, has returned to his culinary roots as the new owner of Handsome Harry’s Third Street Bistro. Hernandez was founder and owner of some of the area’s most popular restaurants—Michael’s Café, Bistro 821, Trio’s, Zoe’s and Aqua Grill at Waterside Shops are some of his notable projects. He and his wife returned to Naples because it is a great place to raise their three kids. Instead of launching a brand new concept, Hernandez decided to buy Handsome Harry’s, the first time he’s bought an existing restaurant. “I thought it was a unique opportunity,” he says. “You can’t duplicate that location. Third Street South has such a unique feel to it that’s never going to go away.”

Since Hernandez took over, he refined the menu and plans to focus on seasonal ingredients from local suppliers. Special events, such as wine dinners, are also in the works. —Kat Smith

California Dreamin’ Al and Jessica Fialkovich, owners of Decanted Wine & Beer, wanted to give the shop’s loyal customers a chance to experience Napa Valley the way they do, so they have launched a sweepstakes that will reward one couple with a trip to the region. It includes airfare, three nights of lodging and visits to a dozen wineries selected from the Fialkoviches’ favorites. Customers can enter online at decantedwines. com/napatrip or at Decanted’s shop in Naples. Anyone who purchases wines online or at the store will be automatically entered to win. One entry per day per person is allowed up to July 31. Once a month leading up to that deadline, Decanted will reveal the names of two more wineries on the itinerary and give away two bottles of wine, selecting winners from the pool of entrants.

Plastic And Reconstructive Surgery Can Change Your Life Dr. Elizabeth Fox answers frequently asked questions.

Plastic surgery is cutting-edge, exciting and life-altering. People are taking better care of their health and therefore living more productive, fulfilling and longer lives. This is why it is important that your outward appearance projects the vitality and youth that you feel on the inside. Join us on this rewarding journey and discover the difference plastic surgery will make in your life.

Q: A:

Dear Dr. Fox: I work out often and am really maintaining my physique, but no matter what I do my breasts are still

saggy. I’m not really into implants—what are my options?

The best procedure for your breasts is an autologous breast lift. This procedure is used to enhance upper and inner

parts of the breasts which fall after childbirth, weight loss, and time.

Your own tissue can be used instead of an implant creating better cleavage and better upper pole fullness of the breasts. Breast lift surgery is really quite easy, patients often remark that they have little

there is a small amount of skin, you can do a minimal arm lift with incisions in the underarm area which also makes for a very easy post op recovery. If there is more tissue to be removed you can use a longer arm incision called a standard brachioplasty. Either option has a very quick return to normal activities. “Elasticity does reduce after age; however, technique does determine the longevity of appearance after facial rejuvenation.”

In order to avoid this, I tighten the tissue alone the jaw line and both sides in order to prevent any extra skin tension. This technique not only improves the contour of the jaw, but will also prevent significant changes in your appearance when your skin relaxes.

these can be taken care of more effectively and less expensively by patient from other doctors offices that are happy with the results.

The pain, discomfort, and expense don’t really seem to be worth the results. I use a Sciton laser that can replace both the IPL and Fraxel; it can reduce wrinkles, remove brown spots and pigmentation spots as well as tighten the tissues with minimal downtime.

Modern Love Our obsession with cocktails from the golden days of American mixology continues.

By Mark Spivak

46 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

If you’re seeking to support the theory that everything old eventually becomes new again, look no further than the cocktail culture.

Mixologists are busy reinventing the cocktails that our parents and grandparents sipped regularly. In many cases, these libations go back to one of the golden ages of the American bar scene—the era immediately following World War II, when few consumers drank wine and

© scomorokh - Fotolia.com

consumption of booze was widespread.

Here are some of the old favorites transposed into the modern era.

AVIATION: There are several versions of this drink, supposedly invented by Hugo Ensslin, head bartender at Manhattan’s Wallick Hotel during the period between the two World Wars. Ryan Magarian, one of the partners in Aviation Gin, has revived two different versions of the classic Aviation Cocktail. Both involve gin, and in that sense are similar to the original.

Ensslin’s cocktail included several dashes of crème de violette, which is left out of most recipes because of its rarity and scarcity; crème de violette appears in Magarian’s Aviation Cocktail Circa 1916.

CHICAGO: The Chicago Cocktail dates back to the nineteenth century. It is essentially a Sidecar with bitters in place of the lemon juice, and involves brandy or Cognac, Champagne, dashes of bitters and Triple Sec. HORSE’S NECK: Although regarded as a quintessentially American cocktail, the Horse’s Neck also became popular in the British Navy after World War II. It consists of one part brandy or Cognac (bourbon, in some versions) and three parts ginger ale. The drink takes its name from the long spiral of lemon zest that hangs from the rim of the glass.

Moscow Mule

same name, which starred Rudolph Valentino, about a famous matador who ultimately dies in the ring. Ingredients include blended Scotch, blood orange juice (to remind us of the matador’s untimely demise), sweet vermouth and Cherry Heering.

MOSCOW MULE: Invented in 1941 and popular throughout the 1950s, the Mule

contains vodka, ginger beer and lime; the name derives from the public perception of vodka as a Russian product at that time.

GRASSHOPPER: First concocted in New Orleans, the grasshopper consists of equal parts crème de menthe, crème de cacao and fresh cream, and harkens back to an age when sweet after-dinner drinks were the height of fashion. u

spring is full bloom spa ad_StillWaterSpa Spring is in full bloom 3/21/12 3:48 PM Page 1

SPRING SAVINGS ARE IN FULL BLOOM AT STILLWATER SPA

Chicago

MARLENE DIETRICH: This classic consists of Canadian whiskey, orange curaçao, dashes of bitters, and lemon and orange wedges. (Legend has it that the screen goddess used to suck on lemons to keep her facial muscles taut.) Substitute bourbon and Triple Sec for the Canadian whiskey and orange curaçao, and you have a Chapel Hill.

FRISCO: The original version was apparently made with rye and Bénédictine, but the modern take is really a Frisco sour. Combine Canadian Club (preferably the Sherry Cask), fresh lemon juice and Bénédictine, shake with ice and transfer to a chilled cocktail glass.

CORPSE REVIVER: Two very different recipes appear in The Savoy Cocktail Book, the 1930 classic containing drink recipes from Harry Craddock, bartender at the Savoy Hotel in London. Corpse Reviver No. 2 (generally regarded as the more interesting and complex) contains gin, Cointreau, white Lillet, fresh lemon juice and a dash of absinthe.

ROBBIE BURNS: There are a dazzling number of recipes for this drink, but the one that most likely is authentic was created by the famed Harry Craddock. It consists of equal parts Scotch and sweet vermouth, shaken along with ice and three dashes of Bénédictine.

BLOOD AND SAND: This cocktail was inspired by the 1922 movie of the

pursuits first class v EURO SUPERSTAR Take an insider’s tour of Barcelona, where the traditional and avant-garde make a heady mix.

By Paul Rubio

Since hosting the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona has emerged as Spain’s premier city, endowing the country with a riveting, culturally rich destination that rivals Paris and London. In 20 short years, the city has evolved from the sleepy capital of Catalonia to one of the globe’s greatest metropolises, with all the trappings of a highly sophisticated, fabulous European center.

Blessed with splendid scenery and moderate temperatures, the city may appear in full bloom year round, but during the summer Barcelona reaches its peak. As millions of tourists flock to La Rambla, the ancient Gothic Quarter and the abundant Gaudi architectural landmarks, more discriminating jet-setters pair libations with panoramas atop the city’s modernist rooftop terraces,

48 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

sample the latest trends in gastronomy and mixology at Michelin-starred restaurants, and venture on side trips to hidden treasures beyond the city limits.

The centrally located sleek and stylish Mandarin Oriental Barcelona (mandarin oriental.com/barcelona) dominates almost a city block of the boutique-lined Passeig de Gràcia, near Gaudi’s Casa Batlló masterpiece. Set in a former bank, the Mandarin unleashes a love affair between minimalism and haute modernism.

Making its mark as a global foodie hot spot, Barcelona isn’t just for tapas and sangria anymore. Dozens of first-rate venues have cropped up in Barcelona’s eclectic neighborhoods.

Veteran travelers and food lovers looking for a true taste of classic Spain seek refuge in the ocean-to-table phenomenon Rías de Galicia (riasdegalicia.com). The restaurant transports Galicia’s fruits of the sea daily to Barcelona’s city center for preparations of centuries-old recipes or, in some cases, raw or steamed simplicity. Expect to be wowed by exotic dishes like sautéed sea cucumber, steamed Galician goose barnacles, and Galician blue lobster tartare, wild gilthead and Iranian caviar iraní.

For those drawn to the world of haute cuisine, Michelin-starred Dos Cielos (doscielos.com), on the twenty-fourth floor of the trendy Hotel ME Barcelona, nears perfection with its seasonal tasting and à la carte menus. Helmed by chefs Javier and Sergio Torres, dishes such as periwinkle prawns, gazpacho, herbs and algae; and scallops, mandoquiña and parsley plants are presented as works of art.

For a different take on experiencing Barcelona’s tapas scene, novices and pros rave about the guided Barcelona Tapas Tour (bcnshop.barcelonaturisme.com). Local experts share insider knowledge, flag tourist traps and offer fascinating lessons in the city’s culinary history while leading guests through the Boqueria Market, La Rambla and Gothic Quarter, and to the tables of the city’s top tascas.

For the latest and greatest in the world

Clockwise from right: The pool on the roof of the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona; interior from Dos Cielos; Cavas Agustí Torelló Mata; an octopus dish at Rías de Galicia; La Rambla.

of tapas, you’ll need to plan way ahead to land a table at Tickets (ticketsbar.es), which arguably clocks the longest waiting times in the world. This modern, creative tapas restaurant is a gastronomic tour de force, showcasing a marriage of robust flavors and ingenuity. (Think tuna belly with salmon roe, piparra sauce and green apple air bread.)

For a sweet afternoon, indulge in Barcelona’s best mató, a traditional Catalan dessert of soft cheese, honey and walnuts, at the circa 1870 Granja Viader (granjaviader. cat). Alternatively, chocolate lovers should head to the xocolateria La Dulcinea in the Gothic Quarter for the best suizo (hot chocolate with whipped cream) and chocolate-filled churros in town.

The rooftop craze that changed the hotel landscapes of Los Angeles, New York, Bangkok and South Beach has officially landed in Barcelona. A number of hotels recently unveiled high-in-the-sky magic, offering bird’s-eye views from personalitydriven lounges. True to its namesake, 360 degrees at the Barceló Raval (barcelo.com) offers spectacular views of Barcelona’s landmarks, Montjuic Mountain and the city’s surrounding beaches. Come sunset,

watch Barcelona change from daytime to its pulsating, glowing nighttime personality. Along the shoreline of Barceloneta, the Eclipse Bar at the W Barcelona (w-barcelona. com/eclipse-bar) grants eye-popping views from its cool twenty-sixth floor lounge.

The Six Senses Spa at Hotel Arts Barcelona (hotelartsbarcelona.com) has spa lovers soaking in the scene—literally—42 floors high in hot tubs, steam rooms and saunas.

After fulfilling the obligatory checklists on a first or second visit to Barcelona, there’s no excuse for keeping within city limits and missing Catalonia’s stunning countryside. Case in point: Cavas Agustí Torelló Mata (agustitorellomata.com), a family-run cava winery in the heart of Penedès wine country, 45 minutes outside Barcelona. Tours are by appointment only, easily arranged through contacts provided on Barcelona Premium (barcelonapremium.cat/ en), a one-stop shop for high-end travelers (and often their travel agents). u NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | MAY/JUNE 2012 49

INSTANT KARMA The Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid is finally out on the streets, turning heads. And, we’re pleased to discover, it drives just as beautifully.

BY HOWARD WALKER

It’s time for a little back-slapping here. A little standing ovation. A little popping of Cristal corkage. No, the Dow hasn’t hit 14K. It’s more impressive than that; the radical Fisker Karma luxury hybrid is now rolling off the production line and, amazingly, is really, really good to drive.

Fisker who? And why do we care? Well, Fisker Automotive is an all-stars-and-stripes American company, based out of Anaheim, California. In fewer than five years, the company has gone from the dream of its Tucker-esque progenitor, cool dude Henrik Fisker, to actually building a car that’s a solid and sensible alternative to a 7-Series BMW, an S-Class Mercedes or a Porsche Panamera. That’s no mean feat.

The beauty of the Karma is that it’s different. No, not in an AMC-Pacer-with-a-lime-green-paint-job different. But here is an eco-weenie hybrid that’ll roll up to 50 miles on 50 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

battery power alone, or average 52 miles per gallon with its four-cylinder gas motor acting as a generator.

It’s also an eco-weenie hybrid that looks so achingly gorgeous, so jaw-droppingly beautiful, you could easily mistake it for one of those blue-sky auto show concepts.

And, boy, does this car grab attention. On the recent media drive, we cruised it through Beverly Hills and you’d have thought Brad and Angie were in the back seat, leaning out, throwing Mardi Gras beads.

Here is a car with more curves than the Mississippi Delta, bigger shoulders than Sue Ellen in Dallas and wheels— they’re standard 22-inchers—big enough to fit a Peterbilt.

Inside there’s space for four in a cabin that reflects the “green” thinking of the rest of the car. The wood comes from reclaimed logs fished out of Lake Michigan, the seat foam is made of soy-based fiber good enough to eat, and the leather is sourced from ranches that embrace humane animal treatment.

And you’ll want to opt for the leather. There’s a non-leather interior called EcoChic that uses a mix of eco-friendly microfiber and tweedy cloth so awful it looks like it came off a Rooms To Go sofa. You can only take “going green” so far.

The front seats, however, are among some of the best I’ve

been embraced by, while the fascia is a Star Trekkie’s delight, with a large touchscreen to help you boldly go.

While space is the final frontier for Captain Kirk, so it is with the Karma. Rear-seat riders may whine about the shortage of headroom, while anyone you collect from the airport will look aghast at the teeny trunk.

But all that pales with the real surprise and delight that comes when you get in and drive.

The Karma is what’s called a plug-in hybrid. It features a pair of 201-horsepower electric motors driving the rear wheels, juiced by a 20-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.

Under battery power alone, the car will glide for between 30 and 50 miles, depending on your right foot. When the Duracells are depleted, it seamlessly ignites the 260-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder acting as a generator, extending the range by another 250 or so miles.

The Fisker engineers have done a truly remarkable job of making all this work and delivering a driving experience that is nothing less than a delight.

In all-electric Stealth mode, the Karma will whoosh from standstill to 60 mph in a decent 7.9 seconds and top out at 95 mph. In

Sport mode, which brings in the gas motor, 0-to-60 comes up in 6.3 seconds, which isn’t much less than with a Porsche Panamera Hybrid. Top speed in Sport is 125 mph.

I loved driving the Karma. Despite its 5,300-pound weight, it feels agile with its laser-precise steering, and has a firm, yet supple, ride that won’t beat you up.

Pricing starts at $102,000 for the EcoSport, climbing to $116,000 for the EcoChic. And don’t forget there’s a $7,500 federal tax credit.

So raise a glass to Henrik Fisker on a job well done. Cheers. u

Nature and Nurture As active philanthropists, Marco Island residents George and Mary Baron (above) spend a lot of time nurturing the community. Mary Baron is currently on six nonprofit boards—including The Shelter for Abused Women & Children, Avow Hospice, Guadalupe Center, Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples, the Naples Players and Classic Chamber Concerts—and she has served on many more. A retired anesthesiologist, George Baron has provided medical services for nonprofit groups in other countries, including Cuba and China. He has also donated photography to benefit the American Cancer Society.

In between attending many of the area’s charitable events with Mary and doing some online stock trading, George ventures out into the lagoons and inlets of Hideaway Beach Club, where he lives, to photograph the abundant natural scene.

His interest in photography began in medical school, where he learned to develop pictures from electron microscopes, and he was both an aerial photographer and pilot. He honed his skills through the years by working with other photographers, and in 1998 was an early adopter of digital photography. Since moving to Florida, George’s favorite subjects—besides grandchildren—have been snowy egrets and the enormous variety of sunsets over the beach near his home.

After more than three years in making, the inaugural ArtsNaples World Festival is poised to impress culture hounds around the globe. An unprecedented collaboration of Collier County arts groups, venues and businesses, the event May 12-18 celebrates the rich art and culture of Russia with 60 shows, performances and educational programs featuring artwork, music, theater, film, fashion, literature, history, cuisine and more. “The festival could create a substantial international reputation [for Naples],” says Fred Coyle of the Collier County Visitors Bureau.

An opening night concert at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts will feature the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra with guest conductor Mei-Ann Chen and Augustin Hadelich on violin, performing Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony and the Brahms Violin Concerto. Also at the Phil, a Three Pianists and Orchestra concert will be conducted by festival artistic director, William Noll. In addition to presenting an art exhibit featuring paintings

by Russian artist Leonid Semeiko, the von Liebig Art Center will host a number of musical performances, including a concert with New York’s The Declassified Festival Instrumental Ensemble, and another with its String Quartet plus guest pianist Pavel Nersessian.

A Russian Film Festival will be screened by the Naples International Film Festival at Silverspot Cinema in the Mercato. The satirical comedy The Government Inspector will be staged at the Sugden Community Theatre, with Jeff Fazakerley in the lead role.

Opera Naples’ presentation of a preeminent work in Russian music, Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, will feature an impressive cast of singers—including Michael Todd Simpson, who has performed roles with the Metropolitan Opera and the Seattle Opera, and Moscow-born soprano Inna Dukach. The St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Vladimir Lande will perform with the singers.

The Patty & Jay Baker Naples Museum of Art will feature a retrospective of art by Kiev-born sculptor Louise Nevelson. Other Russian-themed programs will be presented by the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples and Collier County libraries. The Ritz-Carlton, Naples will present Jazz à la Russe in the lobby lounge each day, and also host a Russian Imperial Dinner with Honorary Festival Chair Sergey I. Kislyak, ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United States. For full details and tickets, visit ArtsNaplesWorldFestival.org.

GIVING BACK

PHILANTHROPY IN ACTION

By Christina Wells

Moira Fennessey is a full-time philanthropist. She is also a highly organized one. A former educator, Moira keeps a calendar that notes her daily volunteer appointments. Each charitable organization is allocated a different ink color to avoid confusion. Her husband of 25 years, Jim, calls her method “the ink blot.”

“Charitable work is her life,” says Jim, a retired car dealer. “Sometimes she will have four or five meetings in one day.”

Both Jim and Moira are fully committed to philanthropic pursuits. The couple seeks to support young people, the arts and the Roman Catholic Church.

In Southwest Florida, they contribute to youth outreach programs associated with the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts and Opera Naples. Both Jim and Moira have been involved with Ave Maria University since its inception. Moira chaired its 2008 Festival for the Arts and Jim sits on the Board of Governors for Ave Maria’s School of Law. The couple sponsored the creation of the law school’s Lisa DiPalma Bonfiglio Garden in memory of their niece, who lost a cancer battle in 2008. The couple co-chaired the school’s Tenth Anniversary Gala last year.

Currently the duo is involved in the creation of the international Catholic Meet in Somerville, New Jersey, with
