FROM THE EDITOR

A Positive Outlook

Daphne Nikolopoulos

CAPEHART

After six months of social distancing and collective breath-holding, September feels like a fresh start. Kids are going back to school, albeit mostly virtually.

Restaurants are gearing up for Flavor month with all the requisite adjustments.

The fashion industry is rolling out its fall collections. Businesses across the board are poised for a new season, whatever that will look like. The general mood is one of positivity, optimism, and strength in community.

That’s the tone of our September issue, as well. This month we focus on education, which has seen some of the biggest changes since COVID-19 descended upon us last March. As a mom of young kids, I have watched teachers and educational models pivot, seemingly overnight. There were a lot of bugs to work out, and we all—parents, students, educators, administrators—had to navigate this new landscape together, but good things came out of the exercise, including stronger schools, more resilient students, and more involved parents.

This has also formed a foundation for a broader discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion in our schools. This conversation is one of identity, and it’s never been more urgent. To bring the issue to the forefront and think through solutions, we spoke with Courtney Portlock, Oxbridge Academy’s new assistant head of school. Courtney, who graces our cover this month, has been a thought leader in DEI visioning, and Oxbridge has given her both the platform and the tools to bring it to the next level. Read about her “Brave New Work” starting on page 42.

In our ever-evolving world, the need for “Alternative Education” has become apparent, and we explore some of the innovations and ideas that are shaping a new learning model. Turn to page 46 for a sampling of the options available to students and professionals now.

Wishing everyone a safe and smooth transition into season.

ASHLEY MEYER

Resource Depot’s position as an anchor of Industry Alley—a cluster of warehouses repurposed to serve the West Palm Beach design community—is fitting, as its focus is “turning waste into wonder.” By collecting and redistributing discarded items, the nonprofit supports the arts and keeps thousands of pounds of material out of landfills.

Since its founding in 1999, Resource Depot has upheld a mission to encourage consumers to share, donate, or repurpose. In addition to its reusable marketplace, it hosts classes on making recycled art, from cupcakes to flowers and more.

Recently, Resource Depot brought its offerings online. “We developed robust virtual resources— videos, lesson plans, suggestions for being green—and people suddenly had to decide what was essential, which dovetails nicely with our ENF campaign,” explains executive director Jennifer O’Brien. The “ENF is Enough” initiative encourages everyone to think of ways to consume less and reuse more. (resourcedepot.org)

BOOK SMART

PAGE-Turner While the mission of the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County is to ensure every resident can read—its efforts span a range of literacy programs serving more than 29,000 adults, children, and families across 187 sites—the organization also aims to inspire everyone to read more.

Read Together Palm Beach County, which kicks off each September, is a popular way the Literacy Coalition mobilizes readers countywide. During the campaign, adults from Jupiter to Boca read the same book at the same time and gather to discuss. There’s also a finale

event, which typically includes a lecture, Q&A, and book signing with the author.

“It’s thrilling to hear participants recount how, because of this initiative, they have begun reading for enjoyment again,” says CEO Kristin Calder. “It brings the community together to discuss common themes and reminds us that stories connect us.”

This year’s selection, The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead, received the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Set in Florida, it follows two boys attending reform school during the era of Jim Crow. (literacypbc.org)

Jump-start your reading routine with these local resources: Turn your to-read pile into a girls’ night out by joining a book club. Founded by Brandy Guthrie, So Booked Up is now 40 women strong, and every new member selects a book from any genre for the group to read. The club is free to join but collects donations for local charities. (sobookedup.com) In 2018, then-12-year-old Taylor Moxey founded the Taylor Moxey Library to help improve literacy in low-income areas. Housed in a shipping container at 600 Fourth Street in West Palm Beach, the mini-library operates on the honor system and stocks a range of books for children and adults.

On a mission to make the Sunshine State the world leader in solar energy, Florida Power & Light is well underway on its SolarNow plan to install more than 30 million solar panels by 2030.

“We’ve reimagined how solar technology can look through solar trees and canopies, and the response has been tremendous,” says Matt Valle, vice president of development. “These solar structures are transforming the desti-

nations where they can be found into living classrooms and landmarks for clean energy.”

The solar installations, which generate both emissions-free energy and a spot of shade, are partially funded by the 10,000-plus Palm Beach County residents who make a $9 monthly donation as part of the SolarNow program. Spot these symbols of sustainability at 11 local sites, from public parks to area attractions like the Palm Beach Zoo, Manatee Lagoon, and South Florida Science Center and Aquarium. (fpl.com)

HELPING HAND

Promising PATH

After teaching on both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum, Christine Sylvain noticed a troubling disparity: When it came to college preparation outside the classroom, “the contrast was stark,” she says. Higher-income students had tutors and experts helping them apply to college and obtain internships and enrichment opportunities; bright, hard-working students from less privileged backgrounds were starved for guidance.

Moreover, Sylvain soon realized that by offering college counseling and SAT prep for top dollar—thereby helping wealthy students earn scholarships and get accepted to elite schools— she was part of the problem. “I was directly contributing to the increasing wealth gap in our country,” Sylvain explains.

She switched gears and launched Path to College, a three-year leadership and careerdevelopment curriculum comprising financial literacy, speed interviewing, civic engagement, application guidance, social and emotional support from dedicated mentors, and more.

The nonprofit’s efforts help students from underserved communities secure admission into their dream schools, allowing them to climb the economic mobility ladder and foster a stable, thriving middle class.

“Our work is really trying to mitigate educational inequity, and it’s so often along race lines,” Sylvain says. “It’s all about connecting people across railroad tracks.” (pathtocollege.org)

Christine Sylvain (above left) launched Path to College to help low-income, high-achieving students reach their college goals.

Ricky Aiken of Inner City Innovators

As West Palm Beach resident Ricky Aiken sees it, the circumstances you’re born into don’t have to be a life sentence. The rough streets he grew up on showed him firsthand the devastating effects of gun violence and the hard-to-break cycle of poverty, addiction, and hopelessness.

“Too often, youth resort to violence because they lack the social and emotional support to realize better options,” Aiken explains. “I grew tired of losing my friends, youth, and community members to gun violence and incarceration, so I stepped up to do something about it.”

He formed Inner City Innovators, an organization that provides mentoring to inner-city youth, with a rallying cry: “Real change happens when those who need it lead it.” His programs focus on leadership development, social and emotional learning, and community service as a way to empower improvement from within.

Because homicide disproportionately affects young Black males residing in disadvantaged communities—in fact, homicide is the leading cause of death for Black males between the ages of 15 and 44, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—Aiken also hosts anti-violence workshops. The goal is to equip those who live in areas besieged by gun violence with the skills they’ll need to keep themselves safe and reduce their likelihood of being a victim or a perpetrator.

“No one has more incentive to change the negative characteristics plaguing communities like ours than the young people who must call these communities home,” says Aiken, who plans to expand the work of Inner City Innovators to suffering neighborhoods nationwide. “I believe there’s a ‘Ricky Aiken’ in every community of concentrated disadvantage—they just lack the platform to execute on their vision for a better community. It’s my mission to provide them that platform.” (innercityinnovators.org)

She met her husband, Jason, a fellow Palm Beacher, during a stint in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she worked as a marketing director in what she calls “the not-so-glam world of vending machines.” Toy poodles in tow, the couple soon relocated to Monaco. While there, Rawding enrolled in pâtisserie school, which led to an unexpected career move when she opened Le Macaron at Rosemary Square. When she’s not making macarons, Rawding is active with the Junior League of the Palm Beaches and supports the Preservation Foundation, Planned Parenthood, the Norton Museum of Art, and the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium. The Rawdings live in a flat-above-a-shop on Worth Avenue and are also building a mountain home in Asheville, North Carolina. —Skye Sherman

PRIVATE PARADISE Fresh off an extensive renovation, LITTLE PALM ISLAND beckons guests with blissful relaxation, adventure, and authentic barefoot luxury

hose who have traveled to private islands know the allure well.

Being on a sliver of beach with 360 degrees of water between you and civilization feels like a Crusoe-esque fantasy, with the added advantages of hyper-attentive service, indulgent cuisine, and accommodations with a true sense of place. Beyond the obvious luxe factor, isolating from the world and all its distractions, not to mention distancing from others during a pandemic, feels urgent right now.

34

But where to go? The Maldives? French Polynesia? The Fijian archipelago?

Between health concerns and travel restrictions, private island dreams are being shelved, but they don’t have to be. Not when there’s Little Palm Island, in our own Florida Keys. Even given a choice of exclusive islands worldwide, this reimagined gem should be at the top of the must-go list.

Closed for renovations since Hurricane Irma blew through Florida in September 2017, Little Palm Island has reopened with a new design that feels familiar but is much elevated. The design team, Rossi Architecture of San Diego and New York–based AvroKo, took a cue from No. 33—President Harry S. Truman famously spent time on the island in the 1940s—to create an exclusive social-club aesthetic with all the luxuries but none of the pretense.

The experience begins at the Shore Station at Little Torch Key, where guests await the boat launch, one of which is aptly named The Truman, amid British West Indies–style furniture and paddle fans. If that’s not enough to elicit a tropical vibe, the rum-rich Gumby Slumber will surely do the trick.

The four-acre island is only a 15-minute boat ride away, but it feels like a whole other world. Sandy paths lined with sea grapes and palms lead to thatched-roof bungalows reminiscent of treehouses. The bungalow suites range in size from 550 to 1,020 square feet and come with broad decks, made of wood planks and bamboo, and private beaches appointed with lounge chairs and, in some cases, fire pits and hammocks.

The new design is an updated interpretation of 1940s style, with vaulted bamboo ceil-

ings, tactile fabrics, textures ranging from rush to rattan, and the sparkle of crystal. The four-poster beds, encircled by sheers, are the most comfortable this side of, well, anywhere. There are nods to a bygone era—a black rotary-dial telephone, for instance—and there are no televisions in the rooms, which is a clever way to make you feel like you’ve stepped back to a simpler time.

Which is not to say that the place lacks modern indulgences. Top among these is the dining program, helmed by Danny Ganem, previously with The Betsy in Miami. Using a cornucopia of local seafood and produce, Ganem crafts inspired island cuisine and continuously changes the menu to surprise and delight guests. There’s elegant indoor dining, but the real story here is the outdoor seating, particularly the coveted tables in the sand, right at the water’s edge. In the summer, you may have to share space with turtle nests, which just adds to the authenticity.

For breakfast, opt for room service and let the staff lay out a gorgeous morning spread on your deck, where you can easily transition to that hammock or an outdoor copper tub.

With self-care such a priority at the moment, the new SpaTerre is a necessity.

The treatment rooms are oriented around a two-story atrium that recalls the patina of an old Cuban mansion, with clay-tile floors, British Colonial furnishings, and tropical plants galore. Like the ambience, the services will put you in another state of mind. If the conditions are right, opt for the Madrugada, offered only at sunrise. The therapists place the massage table in the shallows, and for 80 blissful minutes you receive healing body work while listening to the sigh of the

surf and the sounds of nature. It’s absolutely transformative.

For those who prefer to be active, the sky’s the limit. Choose among kayaking to the mangroves, paddleboarding, backcountry flats fishing, reef diving excursions, sailing, and Dry Tortugas day trips, to name a few. Whatever your pleasure, the Little Palm Island “personal escape planner” is only a (rotary-dial) phone call away. (littlepalm island.com) «

STAYCATIONS

Amplified LUXURY The Guitar Hotel backs up its EYE-CATCHING design with unparalleled SHOWMANSHIP

By Paul Rubio

36

Clockwise from top left: Abiaka dining room; Guitar Hotel exterior; Grand Suite bedroom; the Oculus.

PAUL RUBIO

If the ample social media posts have piqued your curiosity about the world’s first and only guitar hotel, follow your intuition and our advice: This skyscraping wonder is both a sight—and experience—to behold.

The gotta-see-it-to-believe-it Guitar Hotel at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, a 450-foot-tall, all-glass architectural and engineering sensation modeled after back-to-back guitars and capped by illuminated strings projecting to the heavens, has redefined the South Florida skyline. But this $1.5-billion inhabitable instrument isn’t just for photos ops and in-awe stares; it’s meant to be thoroughly enjoyed—like a rock star, no less.

In between the glass panes of the dueling guitars await 638 luxury guest rooms and suites, beginning at a generous 520 square feet, each kitted out in contemporary hardwood furniture and accented by tasteful gold touches and mood lighting. The hotel’s music mantra is apparent in amenities such as the “Sound of Your Stay” in-room program, which includes a curated soundtrack and choice of Fender guitar for creating your own pop-up music studio.

Enveloping the guitars is a world of Vegasstyle excitement and temptations. Similar to the Strip, pool time and drinking dominate daylight hours. There are numerous nooks for sipping, socializing, and suntanning, though the best fun

surfaces at the overwater villas of the Bora Bora lagoon in the form of premium cabanas inclusive of a personal plunge pool, a butler, social distancing, and priceless Instagram fodder.

Once the sun sets—and until it rises again— entertainment takes center stage. The guitar itself comes to life twice nightly through multisensory performances. The tech-heavy exhibitions continue indoors at the Oculus, where visitors can witness waterworks and music-driven laser shows. The casino floor soon ignites with the lights and hubbub of 3,100 slots and 193

table games. All the while, 19 dining outlets and 20 bars and lounges swell with an international crowd looking to see, be seen, and indulge.

Headlining restaurant Abiaka marries the flavors of North and South America over a farmers market–inspired menu that includes grilled lobster with chimichurri, as well as fire water prawns, a Floridian take on Mexican aguachile.

In addition, the popular Japanese restaurant Kuro rivals the best new-fashioned izakaya and nikkei stalwarts, delivering handcrafted cuisine and cocktails that are at once modern, traditional, and unabashedly palate-pleasing.

Similar to its larger-than-life design, the Guitar Hotel experience overwhelms in the best way possible. The property combines a twentyfirst-century lust for opulence and excellence with a nostalgia for music and mayhem. Consider it an elevated way to vacation and party like a rock star, right in our own backyard. (seminolehardrockhollywood.com) «

Mercedes-Benz shoehorns a hybridized 603-hp V-8 into its midsize GLE, with EXPLOSIVE RESULTS

By Howard Walker To fully prepare for the face-melting experience of piloting the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S, skip the dealer test drive and head to Daytona Beach. Here, behind the gates of the thrill-seeker’s paradise that is Screamer’s Park, you’ll find the Daytona Slingshot. It’s right next to the aptly named Vomatron.

Pay $25, strap yourself in, and get ready to feel the thrust of 40 tons of spring pressure as you catapult 365 feet into the air. This vertical acceleration of up to 5 G’s is not for the faint of heart. Those who survive, however, will be more than ready to tackle the equally explosive GLE 63 S SUV. To enjoy this 603-hp beast in all its glory, simply engage Sport+, 38

PRICE: FROM $114,945 ENGINE: 4.0-LITER TWINTURBO V-8 POWER: 603 HP TORQUE: 627 LB-FT TRANSMISSION: 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC 0-60: 3.7 SECONDS TOP SPEED: 174 MPH LENGTH/WIDTH: 190/79 INCHES WEIGHT: 5,300 POUNDS WHY WE LOVE IT: BECAUSE IT PAIRS SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE WITH SUV PRACTICALITY.

press hard on the brake pedal with your left foot while mashing the throttle with your right, then release. With all-wheel drive channeling 627 lb-ft of torque to the blacktop, there’s not a chirp of wheelspin, just the gut-wrenching propulsion of this 5,300-pound cruise missile as it slingshots toward the horizon.

Holy moly it’s fast. Fast as in zero to 60 in just 3.7 seconds. Fast as in a top speed of 174 mph. And all this in a family-friendly, five-person luggage-hauler with cupholders.

This trait comes courtesy of the latest iteration of Mercedes-AMG’s hand-assembled 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. The twist here is the 48-volt electric motor system—deemed EQ Boost—sandwiched between the engine and the 9-speed automatic. It’s called a mild hybrid, though there’s nothing mild about it. What EQ Boost does is provide an instant jolt of electric muscle (an extra 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque) for when you need some grunt, such as off-the-line acceleration and zipping past slower traffic.

Yet the real beauty is the V-8’s Dr. Jekyll–and–Mr. Hyde persona. When

it’s not acting like the motor out of a top-fuel dragster, it’s a pussycat. Cruise around town, amble along the interstate, idle away in a Starbucks drivethru, and it plays all nice and quiet. It’ll even deactivate four of its eight cylinders to boost fuel economy.

If this tire-shredding performance sounds impressive, wait until you hurl this red-hot GLE along a curvy backroad. With standard AMG Active Ride Control air suspension that includes adaptive damping, the Merc pretty much does away with body roll. It’s truly otherworldly how this tall-riding sport-ute can fire through a series of squiggly S-bends with the precision and agility of a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Talk of understeer and oversteer is redundant because it goes where you point it—and at ridiculous velocities.

This SUV has the bold looks to match its brain-frying speed. I love that toothy grille inspired by the old Mercedes Carrera Panamericana racers of the early ’50s. The chrome-ringed, air-gulping lower section beneath it is just as tantalizing. Throw in some AMG side skirts under the doors, body-painted flared wheel arches at each corner, and a

quartet of polished exhaust finishers at the back, and the 63 S appears as muscular as Sylvester Stallone in his Rocky days.

The craftsmanship of the interior is also second to none. Expect perforated Nappa leather–trimmed seats, an awesome AMG leather wheel, brushed stainless-steel pedals, and some lovely carbon fiber trim.

Price of entry to the Merc-AMG GLE 63 S kicks off at $114,945, though as with all Mercedes offerings, it’s easy to go crazy with the options list. Our Brilliant Blue Metallic tester stickered at $133,075. But with its near-supercar levels of performance and handling, coupled with the five-seat versatility and load-carrying practicality of an SUV, this mighty Merc offers the best of all worlds. And much like the Daytona Slingshot, it’ll take driving thrills to new heights. «

Chris-Craft’s latest Launch 28 GT is a HIGH-LUXURY sports car for the seas

By Howard Walker

T

he sheer splendor of every new Chris-Craft is encapsulated by its steering wheel. Just look at the thing. Better yet, touch it. The upper part is a rich, dark mahogany, varnished to perfection. The lower section is covered in a creamy, embossed leather with contrasting crisscross stitching.

This isn’t just any steering wheel. It comes with a true surpriseand-delight feature: The mirror-polished central hub is weighted to keep the Chris-Craft logo level at all times, a parlor trick Rolls-Royce employs on the hubcaps of its $450,000 Phantom.

Right now, that lovely wheel is being put to good use as we dodge crab traps—at 50 mph, blasting across Sarasota Bay—in Chris-Craft’s exquisite new Launch 28 GT, a top-seller in the 146-year-old boat-builder’s ever-expanding lineup.

This one’s a little different though. After decades of making the 28 with honking V-8 inboards hooked up to stern drives, the version we’re piloting has the latest Yamaha 425 V-8 outboard hanging off the stern. Yes, that’s 425, as in a towering 425 horses.

The advantage here is that outboard power typically means less maintenance, easier servicing, and better efficiency. Plus, there’s one humongous bonus: extra storage. With the Yamaha dangling off the back, the place where the inboard—either one or two—used to live is freed up. Now, at the press of a button, the rear hatch, which is typically topped with a comfy sunpad,

Everywhere you gaze, there’s a sea of quilted, leather-like vinyl—real leather just isn’t durable enough. The wood, however, is genuine, and it’s paired with so much polished stainless steel, you’ll swear you’re inside a Bentley convertible.

The Launch 28 GT is also pretty practical. It’s the perfect family boat, with an open, bow-rider design that can accommodate at least 10.

Hidden behind a swing-out door is a roomy toilet compartment with decent headroom, a wash basin, and a pump-out loo.

Twist the key and the Yamaha fires straight up and idles with the hushed tick-tick-tick of a sewing machine. With the aid of the optional bow-thruster, we ease away from the Sarasota dock and head into the choppy open waters of the bay.

Hard down on the single-lever throttle, the engine roars like a V-8 big-block in a vintage muscle car, and the 28 GT leaps onto the plane in less than 5 seconds. We keep the lever hard forward and top out at an eye-watering 53 mph.

As we pull back and spin that sexy wheel, the boat leans gracefully into the turn with real confidence and agility. When we hit our own wake, the smooth-riding hull slices through, splaying the water away, keeping the interior bone dry.

Naturally, all this quality doesn’t come cheap. The base price of a 28 GT with a single 350-hp Mercury Verado is $200,470. Start adding the Heritage Edition trim with teak flooring ($22,100), the 425-hp Yamaha ($22,540), a painted GT hardtop ($29,950), and a bow-thruster ($9,800), and it’s easy to get to the $289,655 of our test boat. But the joy of knowing you’ll spin heads every time you pull up to that dockside eatery? Priceless.«

BRAVE NEW WORK How do you turn a moment into a movement? This is one of the challenges COURTNEY PORTLOCK faces in her new role as Oxbridge Academy’s assistant head of school. Throughout her career as an educator and an administrator, she has made fostering leadership within her students a top priority. PBI recently caught up with Portlock, who says that fighting social injustice and doing the work of embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion starts with knowing yourself first.

“ PBI: You’ve worked to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion at some of the top independent schools in the U.S. before moving to South Florida to join Oxbridge Academy. What’s your why?

Portlock: The old paradigm of “fitting in” was set up 20 or so years ago—and persists even now to some extent. I like to help students understand their own identities enough that they develop a sense of belonging, instead of trying to fit in. Belonging means you don’t compromise who you are. You can actually be who you are within the school community.

I’m passionate about teaching kids how to love themselves. For me, that centers around how social identities—age, race, religion, gender, socioeconomics, ability, et cetera—are incorporated into a student’s understanding of themselves. Having that deeper understanding of yourself is key to coming to your own understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Can you talk about those terms—diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)? What do they mean to you, and how are they intertwined?

Diversity is the numbers piece that looks at social identity. We can look at our space and name who the people of color are or identify the percentage of any given social identifier.

But when we talk about what equity means, we’re looking at how these social identities come together. We have to ask ourselves,

“How can we work together so that we all have access to what we need to be successful? How can we all be full participants and members of the community?” A community becomes inclusive once we’re all able to participate. Of course, to get there, the next question to ask is, “What are the different ways that power, privilege, oppression, microaggressions, and marginalization play into our social identities?”

When we start working through those answers, we’re really doing the work of understanding what equity means. That’s when we’re seeing equity in action as it relates to inclusion.

How do you see Oxbridge Academy leading the way in DEI work?

I think there is a myth that if we talk about DEI, or if we put the right words on our website, or if we join in some of the lingo then we should be okay. But one of the things at Oxbridge Academy that is incredibly encouraging—and that I’m excited about—is how the school recognizes the ongoing nature of this work. They acknowledge that there will be feelings of fatigue, but they are dedicated to taking the necessary self-care while pushing through to make sure the DEI work continues.

You lead in this space by ensuring that DEI has the same amount of attention as all other aspects of the educational process—like curriculum development, safety protocols, and health and wellness, because all of these things ensure well-roundedness and the healthy growth of

Belonging means you don’t compromise who you are. You can actually be who you are within the school community.” the students in our care.

It’s not just about what you say. It’s about the behavior and the experiences of the folks in the community who are working to change things for the better. Oxbridge has demonstrated that it is ready, willing, and able to take a leadership role as a school that will be part of the solution to racial injustice.

What do you see as the biggest areas of opportunity and challenge—for Oxbridge, and for the American educational system at large—to effect meaningful change?

This is both head and heart work. It’s a chance for folks to connect and ask themselves, “What does DEI mean to me? Why should I care? Why is this something I want to keep engaging in?”

That’s a huge challenge.

A lot of folks think, “If I go to diversity training, I have to learn about someone else.” But diversity training actually means learning about yourself, learning the ways you’ve come to understand what it is you understand. Learning about yourself has everything to do with how you approach this work, and how you’ll approach your own self-care in times of fatigue.

Implementing this kind of training is an incredible area of opportunity for schools in general, and for Oxbridge in particular.

When you come across people who are resistant to your message, what tools do you use to help shift their mindset?

I’ve found that when someone is resistant to this work (or resistant to understanding it), there’s a reason why. And I’m really interested in that reason. I want to listen. I want to know what it is that’s blocking them from engaging.

With educators, I presume that folks want to be here. They want to be teachers, and that means they want to connect with their students, to help them develop in their own knowledge and understanding, and to help them fulfill their potential. I also presume that an educator wouldn’t want to lose a student’s attention,

44 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

engagement, or sense of safety and belonging.

So, if that’s the case, you have to choose. You can’t simultaneously not be interested in DEI work but also be interested in the success of your students.

With students who are hesitant, I also want to understand why. “Let’s talk about your experiences,” I tell them, “I would love to hear more.” Having a space where students can reflect on what they understand and what they’re grappling with is really critical.

It must be rewarding to watch as students and educators do this work and begin to see things differently.

It’s amazing. I get affirmed in so many ways by being in the education space and having that happen. That “aha” moment is what I live for.

It’s a very special moment for me when I can see the wheels turning; when I can see folks making connections to the material they are receiving and how it intersects with their lives.

How do you see students leading the way and helping to change the opinions in their own families and in society as a whole?

A lot of the conversations and things happening now with students who are demanding change around racial injustice is really heartening. It’s encouraging to see so many young people who understand. Now, maybe they don’t have all the scholarship yet to fully understand the historical context, but they understand enough to know that something is not right— and that we need to do something about it.

It’s my responsibility as an educator to fill in those gaps, to provide an historical foundation that explains why and how it isn’t right.

It’s my responsibility to help them learn how we can move forward together to create a better and brighter future for Black people in particular, for people of color in general, and for all of us collectively. Together, we can really make meaningful and remarkable change in our world. «

Alternative EDUCATION Virtual learning and innovative curricula signal the dawn of a new era

By Skye Sherman

046_ALTEDU_0920.indd 46

8/1/20 2:01 AM

Shana Ostrovitz (below right), executive director of the professional collective 1909, has overseen virtual programs to help members adapt and grow.

The year is 2020 and education is evolving at a more rapid pace than anyone anticipated. Count it among this year’s many forced evolutionary leaps: Virtual learning is no longer a crutch but a commodity. In place of classrooms and books, there are Zoom links and PDF downloads; inperson camaraderie is bowing to internet etiquette. While change is often unsettling, it doesn’t have to be distressing.

“There’s a shift happening to make learning online more impactful,” says Shana Ostrovitz, executive director of 1909, a community incubator based in downtown West Palm Beach. “Up until this point, virtual learning has been very lecture-based: People tune in and listen. People had recorded webinars they could use all the time. I don’t think that works right now. Virtual learning has to adapt to what people are dealing with in the moment—it can’t be canned content.

“We’re all learning how to make the digital world feel more like real life, where people are interacting and discussing, versus just being on the other side of the screen and receiving information. Moving forward, everything will need to be more interactive, with ways to work on assignments or ‘white boards’ together online—human connection, but digital. I think technology and programming will be built to reflect this.”

Case in point: As the pandemic relegated people to their homes, 1909 transcended from material space to virtual community. Leading the charge—and, along the way, upending outdated perceptions of what “must” be taught in person—1909 pivoted to emphasize digital programming, banding together on-screen with a dynamic roster of web classes and workshops on topics ranging from houseplants 101 to mind mapping, finances, parenting, real estate, and even how to cook arepas.

046_ALTEDU_0920.indd 47

All online events and educational opportunities are led by members or, through community partnerships, local thought leaders and entrepreneurs. Take, for example, a three-part design series in collaboration with branding studio Gather & Seek or the midweek Zoom “coffee breaks” with the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority, which engaged in-the-know speakers to assist downtown businesses in adapting to the changing commerce climate.

Other area businesses and institutions have followed suit. Despite being between locations, The Station partnered with local artist Amanda Costa Marino to offer a watercolor workshop on Zoom. Likewise, arts organizations have made educational materials readily available to download and also conceived of totally tech-based initiatives to engage digital audiences. Over the summer, the Kravis Center introduced a Kravis @ Home database of streaming concerts, lectures, and activities; the Lighthouse ArtCenter in Tequesta introduced ArtCamp in a Box, delivering weekly supplies to participants and having them share their creations online; and the Palm Beach Opera began a weekly digital recital series titled “An die Musik” (“To Music”) that was geared toward the populations served by the YMCA, Alzheimer’s Community Care, and Palm Beach Habilitation Center but also free for all to view online.

Further blurring the lines between virtual and tangible, 1909 members Andrés Espinoza and Ryan Walden are developing a gamification technology to create a video game–like competition environment for startups participating in the second annual 1909 Accelerator, which provides instruction and mentorship to burgeoning entrepreneurs.

THE ART

OF TAKING NOTES Doodling in class is now allowed—if you call it graphic recording. PBI caught up with Jupiter artist Sarah Page on the live notetaking service she offers to corporate clients through the consultancy firm RIDG.

In recent years, school gardens have also become popular at both public and private institutions, offering an out-of-class space to learn about agriculture. But its benefits go beyond that, with studies showing that participation can improve students’ test scores, behavior, and food choices. A firm believer in their transformative power, part-time Jupiter resident and certified master gardener Dianne Venetta launched The BloominThyme Collaborative to expand the school garden network.

“A child will eat a vegetable they grew themselves, which is especially important for children living within food deserts,” Venetta explains. Food deserts are geographic areas where access to healthy and affordable food is limited or nonexistent; recently, activists have employed the term “food apartheid” to acknowledge the systemic shortcomings at the heart of such inequities.

Venetta notes that, by working in these school gardens, children gain a sense of empowerment and pride. “The ability to grow your own food easily transitions from school to home, engendering increased self-worth and independence. They’re excited by every discovery and eager to share their knowledge.

Does education get any better?”

Whether in person or online, education in Palm Beach County has officially entered the twenty-first century. Virtual learning has no home save the incorporeal web, yet its impact is felt on the ground and across generations. School gardens and innovative approaches to curricula are changing how we think about the very nature of knowledge. By embracing these shifts and responding to the needs of students and professionals alike, the Palm Beaches will be poised to not only lead this charge, but act as a beacon of creativity and progress. «

046_ALTEDU_0920.indd 49

While virtual learning has recently become a way of life, other popular educational tools include on-site school gardens like those created by Dianne Venetta (below) of The BloominThyme Collaborative.

PBI: WHAT’S GRAPHIC RECORDING? PAGE: Graphic recording is visual notetaking. Instead of words and bullet points, we use pictures, symbols, and words to visually communicate the overall message.

HOW DOES IT HELP THE BRAIN? We process visual information 60,000 times faster than written information, and while we remember 40 percent of what we see and hear, we remember up to 80 percent of what we interact or engage with. As an individual practice, it helps us understand complex information spatially, and drawing helps with retention.

ANY TIPS FOR BEGINNERS? In grade-school reading, we’re taught to identify the main idea of a paragraph and supporting details. Graphic recording uses the exact same principles when listening to a speaker. You’re trying to capture the essence of a talk. Anyone can do graphic recording. It does not require da Vinci–level artistry; stick figures are strongly encouraged!

Baseball, beer, brats, boutiques—Abacoa in Jupiter sets an idyllic scene for those in search of family fun. Its most prominent features are Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, the spring training home for two Major League Baseball teams (St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins), and Florida Atlantic University’s Jupiter campus. Fitting between the two is Downtown Abacoa Town Center, which boasts some of the area’s tastiest restaurants, a vibrant nightlife scene, and cool events.

As a whole, Abacoa attracts young families and professionals who appreciate its sense of community and convenient placement in North County. “Abacoa has a little bit of everything,” says Noel Martinez, president and CEO of the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce. “The biggest things that make it stand out would be the baseball games in spring and summer, major events like ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival and the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival, and its location. It’s right off I-95 and five minutes from the beach. It’s where everyone wants to be.”

the space that we wanted to hang out in, and we’re just super fortunate that other people feel the same way.”

The Downtown Abacoa Town Center, where Civil Society is located, has become a regional hub for activity. It’s home to shops such as Palm Harbor Boutique, a blend of upscale and casual restos, an amphitheater, and even a children’s art studio called Kids Need More Art. Highlights from the Town Center’s monthly schedule include a Food Truck Invasion on second Fridays and a classic car show on first Saturdays.

Whether you prefer the beach or baseball, there are numerous ways to spend the day here.

Martinez, who also lives in Abacoa, describes his ideal itinerary to PBI: “I have a dog that I love to walk every morning in the neighborhood I live in. Then, a great afternoon of catching a baseball game. When the game’s over, you can have a craft beer at Civil Society [before grabbing] dinner at a really nice restaurant in Abacoa Town Center. That, for me, is the perfect day.”

When exploring a new city or town, do you find yourself drawn to where the artists are? Then historic Northwood Village is exactly where you want to be. Comprising seven blocks in the northern end of West Palm Beach, “the Village” provides a respite from the city’s busier downtown, but is close enough that residents can take advantage of the events and eateries along Clematis Street, on the waterfront, and within Rosemary Square.

Back in Northwood Village, discover a variety of international food options; one-of-akind retailers like Nowlin Flower Shop, Stone Button Studio, and Northwood Antiques; and a smattering of galleries and artist workshops.

One studio, Lot 23, is owned by the city and includes a residency program where artists can volunteer to teach local students in exchange 62

Antique shopping is an activity long cherished by two crowds: those with an appreciation for the finer things in life and those looking to unearth a bargain. Instead of parsing out these superb retail experiences across the city, West Palm Beach’s Antique Row packs everything into just a few blocks along Dixie Highway. The district comprises more than 40 galleries, vintage shops, decor stores, and other delightful nooks for the discerning buyer or casual passerby. Antique Row’s proximity to Southern Boulevard and the Bingham Island Bridge makes it a prime location for Palm Beachers to come for their off-island interior shopping.

This region is the southernmost point of the loosely defined Dixie Corridor, which covers South Dixie

Highway below Okeechobee Boulevard and the immediate side streets. Progress north to arrive at West Palm Beach’s desirable historic districts, including the famous Flamingo Park. With its mix of mid-century modern and Mediterranean architecture, oak-lined avenues, and small-town feel, Flamingo Park is one of Palm Beach County’s top spots for real estate.

“There’s a sense of community in Flamingo Park that I think is lacking in other neighborhoods,” says Copeland, a real estate agent and former resident of

DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH

Downtown Delray Beach, along Atlantic Avenue and the Pineapple Grove arts district, comes alive with murals, arts venues such as Old School Square and the Cornell Art Museum, and hip restaurants like El Camino and City Oyster. The area also hosts an array of community events.

66

Delray Beach’s success and charm as both a city and a community can be boiled down to two key factors throughout its history: the diversity of its people and its dedication to fresh food. In the late 1800s, the first non-Indigenous people who settled the area were Black farmers from Florida’s panhandle. As the twentieth century approached, more and more immigrant farmers from the Caribbean islands and (remarkably) Japan bought land and planted crops of winter vegetables and, eventually, a then-exotic fruit known as the pineapple.

Modern Delray Beach’s most-popular downtown district, Pineapple Grove, is named after that fruit in honor of its founding immigrant communities. Pineapple Grove and its surrounding streets feature some of South County’s best restaurants, nightlife, and cultural points of interest. One historic organization, Old School Square, has delighted Delray Beach audiences for decades and comprises an art museum, a theater, and an outdoor concert stage.

lots tend to be larger and not as close to one another. There’s also a distinct Floridian aesthetic (it’s common to see pineapple cutouts in fences, for example) and young professionals can also expect a nice selection of luxury condominiums from which to choose.

Beyond those who live in downtown Delray, the region is also a favorite for vacationers. Families especially flock to this hot spot to soak up the sun and dine at locally owned eateries such as El Camino, City Oyster, and Park Tavern—many of which offer stellar brunches. Other cool activities include learning more about the Black communities that shaped Delray Beach at the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum; perusing small businesses, like the infamous Murder on the Beach mystery book store; and hanging out at retro-cool Silverball Museum, where you can play an array of vintage arcade games.

The stitch that holds this darling downtown together is Atlantic Avenue, which extends east from I-95 to its namesake ocean, connecting

those eager for an evening of excitement with a community that stands ready to serve them as patrons, friends, and neighbors. «

here that is very walkable and sociable,” says Laura Simon, executive director of the Downtown Development Authority in Delray Beach.

“It’s a place where you come to see people and feel like they’re your neighbors and friends.” A lifelong resident of Delray Beach, Simon notes that this sense of civic pride gets passed down from generation to generation. “We love when our kids grow up here and want to come back.

That, to me, is a sign of success.”

This should come as no surprise to anyone driving through the residential neighborhoods bordering downtown Delray Beach. “There’s pride in ownership and community in downtown Delray Beach,” says Copeland, who often sells property here as an alternative to West Palm Beach. She points out that, in Delray, the

FISHER POTTER HODAS Fisher Potter Hodas is a powerhouse partnership of family law and civil trial attorneys modeled after elite New York litigation boutiques. The firm was created to offer clients a different kind of family law firm, one in which they can find the quality of service they seek from top New York commercial firms combined with the experience of seasoned trial lawyers.

Fisher Potter Hodas concentrates its practice on complex, high-stakes divorce litigation involving corporate executives, professional athletes, and other high-net-worth individuals. In the last two years, the firm has tried to conclusion 10 cases with a total amount in dispute of more than $2 billion. The firm also routinely handles cases with similarly substantial amounts of disputed assets that are resolved outside of the courtroom.

Because the partners represent some of the wealthiest families in the country, as well as celebrities, the firm’s cases regularly appear in the media. For example, The New York Times Magazine recently ran a feature story on the partners’ work in uncovering hidden offshore assets, titled “How to Hide

$400 Million.” The firm’s partners have also been interviewed by national news organizations seeking their opinions on highprofile divorces, including recent interviews for CNN and CNBC following the announcement of the Bezos divorce.

The attorneys at Fisher Potter Hodas are experienced litigators with backgrounds as federal prosecutors, corporate trial attorneys, and appellate practitioners who have been recognized locally, nationally, and worldwide in the field of marital law. The credentials of the lawyers who work at Fisher Potter Hodas run the gamut of the Ivy League, including college and law school degrees from Yale, Harvard, and Princeton.

Also, in 2018, partner Jeff Fisher was named the Daily Business Review’s most effective lawyer in the field of family law. Firm members have also risen to the top of Florida’s Family Law Bar. Fisher and fellow partner Ben Hodas are both board-certified in family and marital law, and Hodas currently serves on the Marital and Family Law Board Certification Committee.

DANIEL C. TIGHE Following the extensive damage caused by hurricanes and other severe storms over the past few years, many homeowners, commercial property owners, and community associations had questions. Fortunately for them, thousands found their way to attorney Daniel Tighe for answers. Tighe took on their cause as his own, working day and night to educate, empower, and when necessary, fight for them. His relentless service to the people of Palm Beach and throughout Florida has cemented his reputation as one of the most sought-after property damage advocates when disaster strikes.

Successfully navigating insurance disputes requires the right combination of knowledge, skills, and experience. Add to that the complexity and resources required to handle claims for some of the most expensive homes in the country, massive condominium complexes, beachfront high-rises, and other large losses, and it’s easy to see why Tighe and his firm have been engaged to help clients obtain tens of millions of dollars for their property damage claims.

“No claim is too big for us to handle.” Tighe says. “We bring the right resources to bear no matter what the situation calls for.

We do it right, every time.”

Tighe is quick to point out that a great deal of his continued success is due to his hardworking team, their experience handling thousands of successful matters, and a commitment to a concierge level of service that goes beyond what many firms offer.

For Tighe, it’s always been about helping people. While his dedication has seen him recognized by his peers in the legal community, what he finds most rewarding are the many thankyou notes and calls from clients who can now fix their home or reopen their business.

Tighe likes to remind residents and businessowners in Palm Beach that even if their property damage claim has been initially denied or underpaid by their insurer, they are still entitled to get paid for the full amount of the damages they suffered. “Your insurance policy is a contract and a promise. When your insurer doesn’t honor its commitment, we hold them to task.”

TASTE DINING

A mainstay in West Palm Beach’s Dixie Corridor for eight years, Table 26 opened in a former 1950s gas station long before a slew of trendy restaurants began popping up on South Dixie Highway. When the pandemic threatened to thwart the neighborhood’s progress, owners Ozzie Medeiros and Eddie Schmidt were quick to pivot. Given social distancing guidelines, the duo expanded happy hour beyond just the bar, allowing guests to sample bites large and small as well as $10 cocktails, like the 26 North grapefruit martini, from any seat daily between 4 and 6:30 p.m.

They’re also continuing the Summer Taste To-Go dinner for two (inclusive of a starter, two entrees, and dessert at a 26 percent discount) through September. Those who dine in are privy to a new outdoor seating area created in partnership with Gast Construction and Island Living & Patio.

This chic hideaway offers the perfect spot for an alfresco meal as we all adjust to this new normal. (table26palm beach.com) —Liz Petoniak

THE PARCHED PIG

JACK BATES PHOTOGRAPHY

Clockwise from far left: Bebe Spice Mon; the Teacup Social; Flower Crown; Blackberry Bramble; So Berry in Love mocktail.

In 2017 Tim Lipman opened The Parched Pig as an annex to his popular Coolinary Café in Palm Beach Gardens. Katy Galluccio came on board as bar manager six months later and has created a succession of arresting and delicious craft cocktails. Here, Galluccio shares details about her creative process and The Parched Pig’s newest venture. (thecoolpig.com) —Mark Spivak

94

Tell us about your latest venture, the Teacup Social.

The Teacup Social was launched as an extension of The Parched Pig and an opportunity to create a specialty cocktail experience off-site for special events such as weddings, corporate events, and more. The name was inspired by a little “teacup” pig. The response has been great so far. Some of the signature cocktails include our hibiscus margarita and tequila old-fashioned.

What’s your process for coming up with new cocktails?

I wish we had a process! Everything seems to inspire us, so we just brainstorm until we come up with an idea; we look at the ingredients we have and speculate on what we can do with them. Tim and Jenny [Lipman] have created a special team atmosphere where we hold each other accountable, so we always taste each other’s drinks for quality control.

Why make your own shrubs and syrups?

We get a better product, one that’s fresher and less expensive. We can make them in smaller batches, and we also know exactly what’s in them.

It’s important that the shrubs be fresh because they have a flavor profile that many guests aren’t familiar with. It’s easier to get used to the taste of apple cider vinegar if the shrub is well made.

Are garnishes important?

They’re crucial because the customer sees the cocktail before they taste it. We want them to be so struck by the appearance of the drink that they photograph it before they take a sip. I’ll torch dehydrated starfruit to smoke a glass or use rice paper images on top of egg white cocktails. I want the garnishes to be attractive but also edible.

What are some of the hot trends this year?

Ice sculptures continue to get more intricate and attractive. Sours are popular, and foam is making a comeback. Cocktails are becoming slightly simpler and less ostentatious.

What makes a good bartender?

Competence—that’s what brings a bar to life. I want guests to get the experience of competence, where they know they’re in good hands and everything will turn out well.

SOUTH OF SOUTHERN

PBI: Why did you become a mixologist?

Galluccio: I started working in restaurants at 15 and stuck with it to make some extra money in college. I graduated with a degree in exercise science and worked as a personal trainer, but I kept coming back to hospitality. I’m attracted to the creativity of it; there’s always something new and interesting, and it never gets stale. It’s a completely different world compared to 10 or 20 years ago.

Are most of the customers at The Parched Pig waiting for a table at Coolinary Café?

Some are, but increasingly we’re seeing people spend the evening exploring cocktails, tapas, and small plates.

Both places strive to provide a high-end experience in a casual setting.

FRESH FINDS

Palm Beach County is home to a long list of culinary innovators. Below, we highlight two artisans bringing unique flavors to South Florida. —L.P.

COTTAGE GARDEN TEAS Sisters Carolyn Dwyer and Joanne Polacek grew up with a British grandmother who “tipped the [tea] pot all day long.” While they originally considered opening a tearoom, the idea morphed into sourcing and blending teas. The pair began studying under tea masters, reading up on the medicinal benefits of herbs, and attending tea conventions as they learned to mix their own sips. They now offer more than 120 blends including the Blueberry Fusion (pictured), a marriage of white and green teas with flavors of blueberries, hibiscus, and more. Visit them at their shop at the Wellington Mall or order online. (cottagegardenteas.com)

BRUCE’S GHOST PEPPERZ A devotee of all things spicy, Bruce Ollis began growing peppers and making his own hot sauce as a hobby. As his sauce’s popularity took off, Ollis and his wife, Stacey, started developing a larger range of products including rubs, dip mixes, pepper jelly, and salsas using Floridian ingredients to sell at the West Palm Beach GreenMarket and other regional outlets. Hard-core hot pepper fiends will appreciate the fiery taste of Ollis’ ghost pepper hot sauces, while those seeking a less intense kick will rave over the guava spiced jelly, raspberry chipotle sauce, or smoky orange barbecue sauce. Order online and receive a free monthly special item to expand your palate. (ghostpepperz.com)

JESSICA BURROUGHS/SOVERVE MARKETING GROUP

Trinnette Morris grew up in a culinary family.

Her father was head chef at the former Harvest House at the Palm Beach Mall, and she helped out in her parents’ catering business as a child. After training as a teacher and working as an assistant principal, she came back to the food world with a mission: to educate minority communities about the importance of healthy eating.

This desire led her to open a private chef business in 2011. That venture morphed into Trindy Gourmet, a specialty catering service, and paved the way for her gourmet breakfast café on Spruce Avenue in the historic Northwest District of West Palm Beach in 2015. She was recognized as the Black Chamber Small Business of the Year in 2016 and opened her second location this past March on Rosemary Avenue.

“I see a significant correlation between mental health and food, particularly in lower socioeconomic areas,” Morris says. “I try to focus on foods that lessen anxiety and depression, such as blueberries, kale, oatmeal, and salmon.”

While you’ll see bacon and pork sausage on the Trindy Gourmet menu, you’ll also find smoothies,

TASTE OFF THE VINE

WOMEN in Wine

Get to know the new generation of FEMALE winemakers leading vineyards to success

By Mark Spivak

Nearly 40 years ago, professor Linda Bartoshuk’s research into the physiology of taste electrified the wine world. She determined that certain people have a higher concentration of taste receptors on their tongues, and she designated those individuals as “supertasters.” She also found that supertasters are more likely to be women.

If you accept the theory that women are better tasters than men, why aren’t there more female winemakers? The simple answer is that the wine business has historically been a boys’ club. This tends to be true in Europe even today, where many female winemakers owe their position to family ownership and a lack of male siblings.

Starting in the 1980s in California, however, some women began

Theresa Heredia of Gary Farrell

to rise to superstar status: Helen Turley (Marcassin), Eileen Crane (Domaine Carneros), Heidi Barrett (consultant for Dalla Valle and Screaming Eagle), Merry Edwards, Zelma Long (Simi), and Sally Johnson (Pride Mountain Vineyards). These trailblazers led the way for a new generation of artisans in California and elsewhere, including the newest names to watch, listed below.

Theresa Heredia, Gary Farrell, Sonoma, California: Heredia was a PhD candidate in chemistry with an emphasis on enology at U.C. Davis before she left the program to follow her passion for winemaking. After working at Domaine de Montille in Burgundy as well as California’s Saintsbury and Joseph Phelps, she joined Gary Farrell in 2012. She focuses on allowing the character of each of the winery’s Russian River vineyard sites to express itself. (garyfarrellwinery.com) Maggie Kruse, Jordan, Sonoma, California: Kruse started at Jordan in 2006 and replaced retiring winemaker Rob Davis last year; both were heavily influenced by André Tchelistcheff, the legendary California winemaker who consulted at Jordan from the beginning. “André always said that balanced, low-alcohol wines age better,” Kruse says, and finding that balance is her main objective.

Remy Drabkin, Remy Wines, Willamette Valley, Oregon: Drabkin was a bit of a winemaking wunderkind. She decided to become a vintner at the age of 8, worked her first harvest at 14, and founded her namesake winery at 25. She specializes in single-vineyard wines made from Italian grape varieties seldom seen in Oregon such as Barbera, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, and Lagrein. (remywines.com)

Kelly Urbanik Koch, Macari Vineyards, North Fork of Long Island, New York: Originally from California, Koch worked at Maison Louis Jadot in France with the legendary winemaker Jacques Lardière.

She journeyed to Long Island in 2006 and helped build Macari into an internationally recognized estate specializing in Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. (macariwines.com) Ashley Heisey, Long Meadow Ranch, Napa, California: Lovingly restored by the Hall family, Long Meadow Ranch is committed to sustainability and famous for its Farmstead Restaurant, which uses ingredients cul-

tivated on the property. Heisey has worked in vineyards around the world as well as California (notably Far Niente and Opus One). As vice president of winemaking at Long Meadow, she leads a team of artisans making wines that reflect the ranch’s diverse vineyard sites. (longmeadowranch.com)

COURTESY OF MACARI VINEYARDS

Kathleen Inman, Inman Family Wines, Sonoma, California: Inman founded her eponymous winery in 2000. Her style ranges from playful (Endless Crush rosé) to serious (a bevy of single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from select sites). She concentrates on what she terms “sensitive farming,” which encompasses sustainability and environmental responsibility. (inmanfamilywines.com)

Alexandra Boudrot, Pierre Sparr, Alsace, France: Born in Burgundy to a winemaking family, Boudrot studied viticulture and winemaking at the University of Dijon before moving to Alsace. She started at Pierre Sparr in 2015 and is now responsible for overseeing both vineyard selection and cellar work at this historic estate dating to 1680. She also produces a range of wines including Riesling from Grand Cru Schoenenbourg and both Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer from Grand Cru Mambourg. (vins-sparr.com) «

Interior designer Lorraine Rogers-Bolton and senior designer Amanda Wyant Binns of Rogers Design Group did their homework before employing a Francophile approach for this Palm Beach Gardens home.

Responding to the owners’ desire for a Parisian loft vibe, the duo studied numerous New York City hotels and restaurants that also embraced a French sensibility. The resultant kitchen mixes styles and finishes, marrying brass, bronze, and stainless steel with charcoal wood and timeless details like a library ladder. The marble slabs, with their ideal balance of white, gray, and caramel, were strategically positioned so the direction of the veining provides maximum impact. “The drama of the bookmatched slab on the backsplash and continuation of the veining across the island is so bold that it really makes a statement,” says Rogers-Bolton.

BALANCE

By Liza Grant Smith

WARM-UP

In a PICKLE It’s hard to believe that a game invented by three fathers in 1965 to entertain their bored children would become the fastest growing sport in America today, attracting 3.3 million players and counting. As it turns out, there is something about pickleball, a hybrid of tennis, badminton, and pingpong, that has proven widely appealing and even addictive.

Eric Ah-Yuen, a high-level performance coach who works with many professional and Olympic athletes, immediately fell under pickleball’s spell after moving to Jupiter in 2016. What he quickly realized, however, was there was a lack of organized play in the area. After much research,

111_BALANCE_0920-2.indd 111

Ah-Yuen founded PickleBall Athletics Club as a local destination where pickleball lovers can find matches with players at their level and take instruction. The club currently boasts more than 350 members— including 25-year-old Kyle Yates, the topranked pickleball player in the world.

Ah-Yuen credits pickleball’s popularity in part to its inclusivity of all fitness abilities and ages. “You don’t have to be a super athlete to play,” he says. “I can take someone off the street and teach them the game in half an hour and they can have a fun time.”

Unlimited monthly memberships are available for individuals, couples, and families. (pbaclub.com) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2020

nspired by empirical evidence that shows music is beneficial to those suffering from loneliness, depression, various stages of dementia, and chronic illnesses, retired businessman Martin Coyne co-founded The Healing Sounds of Music in 2018 to offer free music programs to residents of assisted living facilities in the Boca Raton area. Coyne, who was chairman of the board for the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra and co-founder of The Symphonia Boca Raton, teamed up with co-founder Ilona Musil and Jeff Kaye, The Symphonia’s artistic director and principal trumpet player, to begin organizing monthly concerts with professional musicians for residents at a local facility. The positive response from the attendees was immediate, and the program was even endorsed by a music therapist. When Coyne passed away in 2019, his son, Russell, took over the organization and is propelling it forward in honor of his dad. The turmoil related to COVID-19 has only intensified the need for healing music programs for seniors who face increased isolation.

The concerts have moved to outside the assisted living facilities, but the amazing impact continues. Russell Coyne continues to raise funds to support his ongoing efforts, with the goal of eventually expanding his musical reach to areas beyond South Florida. (healingsoundsofmusic.org)

TREATMENTS

WORTH ONE’S SALT While too much salt in your diet is a no-no, adding salt to your spa routine continues to receive rave reviews. The private Halotherapy Experience at Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa in Delray Beach highlights the power of salt and its respiratory benefits—this time in consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the experience, created by salt experts at Boca Raton–based Himalayan Source, individuals in a private treatment room breathe in pharmaceutical-grade particles of salt from a halogenerator (known as halotherapy) while relaxing on a massage table that provides other therapies, including LED light therapy. With a glowing salt wall as a backdrop and the accompaniment of guided meditation to restore body, mind, and spirit, this treatment promises both rejuvenation and re-centering in a safe environment.

The Art We NEED While most of us were trying to beat the summer heat and maintain social distance, Rosemary Square in West Palm Beach was hosting an exciting new component of its arts-forward identity: an artist-in-residence program. Sarah Gavlak, founder of New Wave Art Wknd, conceived of the residency and launched it using funds generated by the winter art event’s ticket sales.

The residency was designed to facilitate conversations about crucial global topics, all in a free, inclusive, and diverse public space. Gopal Rajegowda, senior vice president of Related Companies, the developer behind Rosemary Square, believes in the transformative power of art and says that the driving forces behind this residency are to foster dialogue

115_AGENDA_0920.indd 115

and encourage discovery. In addition to walking by the studio (across from H&M) to watch the artist at work, patrons can make appointments to visit the space and view weekly Instagram Live sessions.

The program kicked off in June with Peruvian artist Renzo Ortega, whose art explores the social, political, and cultural implications of immigration. For those who could not visit, Ortega captured his experience of living and working in West Palm Beach in more than 30 Instagram videos (@renzoortegaart).

While New Wave Art Wknd looks to bring another one of its affiliated artists to the space in the fall, Rosemary Square has moved forward with the program and installed a new creative. Turn the page to learn more about her. (rosemarysquarewpb.com)

SPOTLIGHT

A Beautiful Purpose, Sarah LaPierre

“

CREATING ART IS AN ACT OF HOPE. IT’S ACTIVELY LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE AND FINDING SOMETHING BETTER AND BRIGHTER. THAT’S WHAT I FEEL IS GOING TO BE [MY] FOCUS FOR THIS SPACE.” Croton, Sarah LaPierre

For West Palm Beach art lovers, the sight of Sarah LaPierre’s signature palette knife or “thick paint” paintings is a familiar one. From her murals downtown to her plant-adorned work space inside The Garden Shoppe in Rosemary Square, LaPierre’s vibrant works capture the playful side of life.

Now, she has taken over the studio once inhabited by Renzo Ortega.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, LaPierre has found herself in the all-too-familiar work-from-home scenario and is excited to be in a new space where she is free to expand, experiment, and create. Similarly to Ortega’s residency, Rosemary Square patrons can watch LaPierre paint her canvases and the walls of the studio, as well as schedule visits and view the process on Instagram Live. She hopes that the experience offers passersby “a little pocket of joy” and that guests “take away what they need” from her work.

As far as inspiration for her residency, LaPierre is drawing from greenery,

landscapes, and florals, with an emphasis on what is native to Florida.

One of her recent artistic muses are sunflowers, which her family used to plant in their yard. In a time that has resulted in immeasurable darkness for so many, LaPierre feels that the sunflower serves as a symbol for the search for enlightenment, as the flowerhead always manages to find the sun. It also represents the artist’s belief that “art will keep us moving forward” and guide us toward light when we need it most. (sarahlapierre.com)
