v FROM THE PUBLISHER

The Power of Ten his month starts not only a new year, but also a new decade—which is an intriguing thought to process considering how everyone was buzzing about the new millennium not so long ago.

I don’t tend to get hung up on the calendar but, while searching recently for something in our archives, I came across the January 2000 issue of this magazine and thought it might be interesting to look back on Palm Beach a decade ago. One thing, in particular, caught my eye: the masthead, or list of staff members and contributors employed by our company. While some of the names that populate this list have changed over the years, many individuals who were on that decade-old masthead still play vital roles at our company today.

For example, Senior Account Executive Dee Wade celebrates her eighteenth anniversary with Palm Beach Media Group this month.

And she is not the only one with longevity. Our team includes a number of people who have been with the company for 10 years or more, some of them advancing to top management positions. Our success is due in no small part to this stability. Our people are committed to the community and become established in it, often with a sense of service on their own time. Their involvement in both business and charitable organizations helps the community and makes us proud of them.

In addition to these long-standing members of the PBMG family, we continue to recruit top talent within the publishing industry, especially those with expertise in the targeted areas that help us grow.

We also identify and nurture up-and-comers with great potential and create opportunities for them to flourish. This combination of established and new talent strengthens our gene pool and keeps our performance at optimal levels.

Ten years ago, while we may have had a strategic vision about our corporate direction and big-picture plans for how to get there, no one really knew what the future held. So, naturally, I’m quite pleased with where we are today—and especially happy with and for the people who have helped us on that journey.

That said, I am looking forward to the promise of a new year—and what a new decade will hold for us. I hope you are, too.

v EDITOR'S LETTER

Power Surge ur annual Power Issue is one of my favorite compilations. The reason comes down to a single word: strength.

Who doesn’t love being surrounded by powerful people, strong style statements and electrifying machines? For this issue, we have sought out all that makes Palm Beach a power player on the international stage. First, we have the people—including the woman who recently won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, for her work in diplomacy and her substantial role in eradicating breast cancer. Ambassador Nancy Brinker, the founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has dedicated her life to finding a cure for the disease that claims the lives of so many women, including Brinker’s own sister. Read her powerful story, “A Sister’s Promise,” on page 88.

In Palm Beach, power always seems to connote the sexy machines that take our collective breath away. To that end, we turn our attention to what could best be described as palaces in the sky. Private plane interiors have become so sophisticated that they often look like luxury homes, complete with canopy beds, Oriental rugs, art collections and etched glass doors. See for yourself in “Flying Home,” on page 70.

In the automotive category, we highlight 10 of our favorite “Green Machines” (page 82). Howard Walker, our man on the automotive scene, rates luxury cars for their green quotient—that is, their diminished carbon footprint and contributions to a cleaner, healthier planet. Power, beauty and ecofriendliness—what’s not to love?

Finally, we take a closer look at the power of philanthropy. Several Palm Beach women involved with Caron Renaissance strike a pose to show off fashions by Zac Posen, who will be in town this month for a runway show of his spring collection. In this high-profilemeets-high-fashion collaboration, the winner is the charity—as it should be. Turn to “Posen for a Cause” (page 76) for the full story.

I hope you enjoy this powerful lineup as we kick off a new year full of excitement and energy.

QUESTIONS

3Q

v FRANK SINATRA JR. Frank Sinatra Jr. has had a long and varied career in music since his 20s. Today, the 66year-old singer, songwriter and conductor is best known for resembling his famous father’s intonations and vocal rhythms. Sinatra, who in his best days would tour for 11 months of the year, is still on the road singing classics. His latest program, “Sinatra Sings Sinatra,” brings him to Palm Beach County January 2-8, where he will perform with Bob Lappin and the Palm Beach Pops.

■ HOW DID YOUR SINGING CAREER START? I was studying music and going to be pianist and composer. I was playing with a band, and one night the singer got drunk and didn’t show up. The bandleader pointed to me and said, “You’re going to have to sing.” I said, “Why me? I’m the piano player.” He said, “You’re a Sinatra, aren’t you?”

■ WHY IS PLAYING WITH A 38-PIECE ORCHESTRA IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SHOW? We are doing a program titled “Sinatra Sings Sinatra.” If I am called upon to make the music of Frank Sinatra, I believe people are going to expect to hear what they hear on those records.

We cannot get that sound unless we have ... a very large orchestra.

■ WHO INFLUENCED YOU MUSICALLY? My father was an influence as a vocalist but in music, I had the [opportunity] to study with some very important people whom I met because of their connection with my father. The most important was the late Nelson Riddle. Nelson was one of my absolute idols and I got to study with him.

—Lola Thélin

At the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach’s Spa, Ocean Memory, a marinebased nourishing treatment, begins with a sea salt and blue-green algae scrub, which exfoliates and preps the skin to accept the massage oils. The aquatic flow massage uses vegetable and essential oils to stimulate the circulatory and lymphatic systems. The therapist performs the massage with rhythmic up and down strokes to mimic the ocean flow. Then a mineral-enriched wrap combined with algae mousse is applied to the torso. This expels toxins and other impurities and moisturizes the skin. You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated and restored. (561-5333715, fourseasons.com/palmbeach/spa)

REEM ACRA began creating clothes when she was a little girl, and never looked back. Today the designer creates regal yet dreamy gowns. Her success comes from her ability to combine traditional qualities like needlework and embroidery with modern style.

Acra, who studied at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and Esmod International Fashion University Group in Paris, launched her bridal collection in 1997 and six years later debuted a ready-to-wear line that is a fixture on the red carpet, thanks to actresses such as Felicity Huffman, Angelina Jolie, Olivia Wilde and Halle Berry. Acra recently expanded her fashion business to include an accessories line.

diversions first class v LUXURIOUSLY RUSTIC

Embrace nature—and the good life—at Virginia’s newly opened Primland Resort.

BY STEPHEN BROWN

In Appalachia there is a special affinity between the people and the land, harkening back to a time when Appalachee, Cherokee and Blackfoot tribes roamed the range stretching from Alabama to Newfoundland.

Nestled along the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Primland Resort holds true to the soulful permeance of this ancient mountain range. A 14,000-acre parcel of land, Primland stretches from peak to peak, looking over an untouched valley carved by the Dan River.

PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2010

diversions v first class

In addition to the fantastic views and world-class wing shooting, guests of Primland Resort can enjoy golf on the Highland Course, curling up in front of a roaring fire in the lodge, or stargazing at the on-site Observatory.

56

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The land of the Primland Resort has a rather circuitous history, with signs of habitation dating back as far as 12,000 BCE. It was later settled by European immigrants for agricultural purposes (tobacco being the staple crop) and even saw a brief stint as a moonshiners’ paradise during those pesky days of Prohibition.

In 1977, Frenchman Didier Primat fell in love with the idea of owning a piece of the American wilderness and purchased the parcel of land to use for logging. But by 1986, with the natural beauty and native game being so plentiful, Primat shifted activities from logging to a recreational resort, building mountainside cabins and opening his preserve to wing shooting and wild game hunting. With the opening of the Highland Course golf course in 2006 and the Lodge in August 2009, Primland Resort has become one of the top luxury resorts of the Blue Ridge.

Sculpted along the rim of the mountains, the Highland Course offers 18 holes of some of the most visually stimulating yet technically daunting golf on the East Coast. Designed by golf course architect Donald Steel, the Highland Course is an homage to golf’s roots, playing a picturesque partner to the highlands of Scotland, where the rough is thick with natural variable and wildlife always plays through.

The newest jewel of the Primland Resort is the Lodge, which resembles a Swiss ski resort more than a Blue Ridge hunting lodge. The great room’s dual fireplaces are tall enough to walk through, and the slate and wormwood accents give subtle reminders of the region’s makeup.

The 26 guest suites give new meaning to the term “roughing it.” With plush furnishings and a modern, Euro-chic design, you will be hard pressed to find a more luxurious chalet.

The restaurant Elements accentuates the naturalistic vibe of the resort with a menu steeped in local cuisine. In the able hands of Executive Chef Andrea Griffith, menu selections change daily with a breakfast relying heavily on seasonal fruits, and a dinner menu consisting of three multiple-course tasting menus, giving diners a

new appreciation for Virginia’s epicurean scene. The Columbia River sturgeon always is a crowd pleaser.

On the north end of the Lodge is a tower that looks like a large grain silo. But as the spinning roof yawns open, murmurs of “Also Sprach Zarathustra” from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey begin to play in your head, as the probing eye of a telescope begins to translate the whisperings of the stars. The Observatory broadcasts its dazzling finds throughout the resort with a live video feed.

For the true sportsman, there is a plethora of game. Specializing in wing shooting, Primland’s valley of hedgerows, woodlands and fields of milo, sorghum and switch grass create the perfect environment for the pheasant, chukar, quail and mallards that roam these parts.

The fields open on the valley through

woodland shade, creating waist-high seas of golden hunting grounds. This is a traditional hunt. The early release methods give the stocked game ample time to find nesting and mating territories amongst the grasses, making them exceedingly hard flushing and exceptionally flighty, testing the eye of the most expert of shooters. Marching through the fields in a V pattern, shooters and a guide flank two well-trained pointers. It is up to the dogs, true veteran hunters, to mark the game.

Standing as still as statues, their noses work diligently, marking the direction of the bird.

For the more solitary hunter, there are elevated blinds and stands, and no shortage of wild turkey and deer.

Primland Resort is a place like no other, where the pleasures of earth and treasures of the heavens conspire to create a truly memorable experience. (866-960-7746, primland.com) ◆

THE WINGED WONDER Mercedes-Benz’s sensational new SLS AMG “Gullwing” reinvents a ’50s icon.

BY HOWARD WALKER

60

Automotive theater just doesn’t get any more theatrical than this.

Stroll nonchalantly toward the fabulous new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, tug gently on the door handle, and watch in wonderment as the door levitates skyward.

Heads spin. Jaws drop. Children point with mouths agape. Elvis strolling arm-in-arm with Chewbaca from Star Wars wouldn’t cause this kind of reaction.

For a double dose of amazement, ease up to the front of The Breakers and have your passenger synchronize their door opening with yours. Viewed head-on, the sight is as majestic as an osprey about to take flight. Onlookers will erupt into spontaneous applause.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Auto aficionados know all too well that in the mid1950s, Mercedes built a sports car called the 300SL. Featuring the same kind of ascending portals, it was naturally nicknamed the Gullwing. Today you’d pay more than a half-million dollars for the pleasure of owning one of those automotive icons.

This brand new SLS is the spiritual, and worthy, successor to that 300SL. It goes on sale here in late April with an estimated price tag of around $200,000. And, believe me, it’s worthy every single red cent of its asking price.

I love this car, truly, madly, deeply. And not just because of its scissor doors. It’s the raw ferocity of its performance, the precision of its handling, the might of its

braking. Fire it along a twisty backroad and a ride on Space Mountain simply pales into insignificance.

It’s been developed from a blank page by Mercedes’ in-house tuning division, AMG. Power comes from AMG’s familiar 6.3-liter V8 but with a few racecar-inspired tweaks that bump up the horsepower to a mighty 563—enough to rocket it to 60 mph from standstill in a mere 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed close to 200 mph. The most exhilarating Merc ever? You bet.

Much of its projectile performance is down to the car’s all-aluminum body that weighs roughly the same as a supermodel.

And speaking of bodies, the SLS’s breathtaking shape comes with just enough styling cues from the original Gullwing to acknowledge the parentage, but not too many to make it appear overly retro. I love the big gaping front grille with its giant three-pointed star, and those big, air-expunging side vents—both nods to the original SL. Ease yourself in to the Merc’s hip-hugging driver’s seat and the car seems to shrink around you. All-round vision is terrific.

Taking cues from the original Gullwing, the cabin is a masterpiece of simplicity. There are just two dials set deep in a compact hooded binnacle, with a nav screen in the center of the dash and the stubbiest of shift levers.

Yes, it’s a bit of a stretch to reach upward and haul down that gullwing door. Mercedes engineers did ponder making them power-operated, but feared big electric motors would have added too much weight to the roof. That said, you quickly learn the technique of grabbing hold of the handle as you step into the car, and pulling down the door as you drop into the seat. Alternatively,

try a hook-handled umbrella.

Prod the big “start” button on the center console and the AMG V8 fires up with the ferocity of Dale Junior’s NASCAR stock car.

It’s a rich, boomy, bellowy roar that, even at idle, will raise all those little hairs on the back of your neck.

Pull back on the right side paddle shifter controlling the new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic to engage “drive,” squeeze the throttle, and the SLS blasts away like it’s been released from some invisible catapult.

This is simply one of the world’s most exhilarating, exciting and rewarding cars to drive. And while it’s in its element being thrashed around the racetrack, it’s also docile and tractable enough to make runs to the grocery store.

Amazingly, this is just the first of a family of SLS models. Next up is a convertible roadster version, followed by an even more powerful Black Series model, followed by an all-electric version.

With bigger winged doors, they might even be able to make one that flies. ◆

FLYING HOME When it comes to designing private aircraft interiors, the sky truly is the limit.

BY LOLA THÉLIN

In the 30 years Ivan Klugman has been a designer, he has created luxurious bedrooms with spacious bathrooms, game and dining rooms and even prayer, massage and surgical rooms.

But there is nothing ordinary about these spaces. The rooms Klugman designs are the interiors of private aircraft such as a Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) 747 or an Airbus A340.

Flying often conveys images of uncomfortable seats, cramped lavatories and frigid temperatures, but for Klugman’s clients, comfort is key, especially at 36,000 feet. “We are converting

planes into flying homes,” says Klugman, owner and president of Integral Aviation Solutions in Delray Beach. “This has been going on for a long time with Middle Eastern businessmen. It’s just a way of extending the comforts of your home and lifestyle in an aircraft.”

WiFi high-speed Internet, LED televisions, exotic woods and spacious bathrooms featuring showers are common requests. “As far as the materials, the sky is the limit,” says Klugman. The motto for industrial designers and clients is the more exotic and refined, the better.

PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2010

Leather (embossed, matte, calfskin or suede) is the most popular material for comfortable seating. Patrick Knowles of Patrick Knowles Designs in Fort Lauderdale even incorporates full-grain and untreated leathers for surfaces that can be seen but not really touched, such as in the spaces above cabinets. Other materials used are wool and silk for carpets, 100-percent pure linen for tabletops, high-end Egyptian cotton for bed linens and high-end silk for the principal’s bedding.

While trends in aircraft interiors increasingly feature home-like styles and amenities, the design requests vary according to the owners’ desires, personality and lifestyle, designers say.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes spokesperson Vicki L. Ray remembers touring the Boeing 747 of a royal family. It actually included a throne—“an airline seat that had been adapted to look more like a throne,” she says. As for the rest of the plane, Ray describes it as tasteful decorations with lots of gold tones and small religious icons.

Aircraft owners want the interiors to be comfortable and reflect their personalities, says Joseph Davis of Joseph Paul Davis Interior Design in Palm Beach. Most of his clients are particularly focused 72

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

on the accessories. “The clients get most interested in the tabletop stuff, like the glassware and silverware,” he says.

Donna Cruthis, a designer for General Dynamics whose subsidiaries include Jet Aviation in West Palm Beach, once designed a jet based on the interior of the owner’s car, and had to send the upholstery technician to see the car so that he could replicate the seat for the aircraft.

Klugman sends his designers to the clients’ homes to understand and capture the clients’ lifestyle. “Once they get a feel for the person and their likes and dislikes, the designers draw out the airplane,” he explains. “It’s like building a house from scratch.” His most memorable amenity: a gold custom-designed shower handle, which ended up costing about $125,000.

Most of Klugman’s amenities, including the furniture, are custom designed, but the engineering, design and fabrication must meet all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifications and guidelines. “The approval process starts during the design phase,” explains Klugman. “We have in-house engineering representatives—people assigned by the FAA—to approve the equipment.

Then final approval is granted by the FAA.”

The Boeing 787 VIPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design concepts are innovative and sophisticated. Details include cove lighting, wood flooring, built-in shelving and etched designs on doors and bulkheads.

74

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Designs also are complicated by the fact that everything must adhere to weight requirements, “pull tests” to ensure furniture is properly fastened, and fire safety regulations for fabrics and materials.

The lavatory, which can include a makeup area, vanity and shower, often includes counters made from marble or granite. Weight constraints require designers to have the material “lightweighted” (cut down to a quarter-inch thick). Sometimes designers opt for a lavish veneer that weighs much less.

Four years ago, Knowles designed a foreign aircraft in Salzburg, Austria, for an owner who wanted to take friends and family for low-altitude flights over the Alps, with a design that captured the spirit of the Orient-Express. Once the aircraft took off, passengers gathered in the lounge around a 15-foot bar. There also was a dining salon in the rear of the cabin. “The headliner and the bulkhead panels back there had LED starlight points in them,” he says. “When you turned the lights off and tuned on the LED lights, it looked like you were flying through the galaxy.”

Industrial designer Mauricio Cabal of Parkland once received a very impractical request: “A flying casino for a Russian corporation.

They wanted a craps table.” He points out the challenges: “Can you imagine a little bit of turbulence?” There also was a request for a

sky roof, which Cabal did not build, and a pointing device—“a must for all Middle Eastern airplanes,” he says—that identifies the aircraft’s position relative to Mecca for prayer time. Cabal does admit that most anything can be fulfilled when money is involved. “I don’t think that there is a limit in what can be done if you throw enough money at it, but obviously there has to be some levelheadedness,” he says. “Common sense is uncommon in this group.”

The amenities can be as limitless as the imagination, but it is important to stay grounded on the important things—for example, the owner’s seat. Consider this: On a 10-hour flight, the owner will be in his or her seat for about five hours of the trip. “It’s very critical that anything within a four-foot radius of the principal’s seat is of the most impeccable craftsmanship,” says Knowles.

It is not uncommon for a designer to send a client to the plane manufacturer to fit the chair properly. “Owners’ chairs are usually custom fitted to the man and wife,” says Davis. “They are fitted along the legs and to fit body size.”

Considering all the precision, intricate details and custom work that goes into aircraft design, the discipline certainly is not for everyone. “This is not a business where you can practice without being, like me, totally mad about airplanes,” says Cabal. “Usually the crowd you find here is hooked for life on aviation.” ◆ PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2010

The Palm Beach social season is in full swing and, with so many parties to attend, wardrobe planning is practically a sport.

That’s why fashion shows—particularly those with a designer appearance—are hot tickets. On January 12, Palm Beach resident Petra Levin, chairperson of the Caron Renaissance Gala, is kicking off her benefit with an invitation-only fashion show, featuring clothes by Zac Posen—and an appearance by the designer himself.

It’s a party for a good cause. Caron Renaissance, which is celebrating 20 years of service, is a comprehensive addiction treatment facility in Boca Raton, which strives palmbeachillustrated.com | JANUARY 2010

“There is always a way to keep moving forward and to be healthy and responsible and have pride in yourself.” —Zac Posen to reverse the cycle of addiction diseases and related disorders through clinical services and interactions with the entire family of an addicted person. It is one of the top three treatment facilities of its kind in the United States.

This will be the fifth year Levin has chaired Caron’s annual gala, which will be held February 26 at The Mar-a-Lago Club, and will feature a concert by Grammy Award winner Jon Secada.

“When I heard about the Caron Foundation, I was very impressed, first of all because they are [20] years old and very established,” Levin says. “And I was very impressed with the [program], and when I met the president, I just saw my calling.”

Levin says she has known people with addictions in her life, and is happy to be able to help them and their families. “It’s always very painful to watch not only the person who goes through the addiction, but also how affected the friends and family are, and how everything was such a secret. You don’t talk about it.”

The stigma of addiction is one that keeps people in the dark and suffering, along with their families. Paulette Koch, a senior broker with the Corcoran Group in Palm Beach, commends Levin for her involvement with Caron. “I was inspired by all of her dedication to Caron’s work,” says Koch, who has been on the gala committee for five years. “I feel that she has really worked hard to break down barriers about addiction that I wasn’t even aware of, to be honest.

You can only do so by getting people to talk about it, so the healing process can begin.”

Jana Scarpa, a Realtor with Barclays International in Palm Beach, believes in Caron’s work, as she has witnessed the benefits of treatment firsthand. “Personally, I had a close family member struggle with alcoholism this summer, and without a professionally staffed center [similar to] Caron’s, she would not have been able to get treatment for her disease, and the family would not have had the education needed to help her,” Scarpa says.

year’s committee. “Caron is one of those organizations that does so much within the community,” says Rudolph, who also sits on the board of trustees for the South Florida Science Museum. “With the economy being so bad, drug and alcohol use has skyrocketed.

It’s important that the resources are available to help people, especially children and teens, so they don’t get involved in drugs and alcohol. This is a fun party we can do to raise awareness for that.”

Levin, a long-time fan of Posen’s clothes, approached the designer about doing the fashion show, and he was happy to help Caron, an organization he was familiar with through some of his close friends who had been helped by the treatment they received there. “I got involved in Caron Renaissance initially through my friend Jacquelyn Sherry,” Posen says. “I’ve known her since I was about 15, and it changed her life and completely got her back to the truth of who she was. It was remarkable to see that there is hope and that [addiction] is not such a dead-end street. There is always a way to keep moving forward and to be healthy and responsible and have pride in yourself.”

The benefit show, according to Posen, will be a sampling of “petits fours of spring. You can expect color, love, valor and fashion.” Posen’s clothes are available locally at Gypsy in Palm Beach, but he is flirting with the idea of a opening a signature store in the area. “I’d like to open a boutique in Palm Beach when we have a more diverse product range, price points, categories, a bathing suit or two,” he says.

Planning the show has been a labor of love for Levin, who is trying to create a fabulous scene, while focusing on raising money and awareness for Caron. “Zac is appearing in person, which makes every fashion show special,” she says. It will be a fun evening for supporters, but, she adds, “The important thing is to raise money for the charity.” ◆

OUR GUIDE TO 10 OF THE BEST LUXURY VEHICLES THAT CAN ACTUALLY HELP SAVE THE PLANET.

GREEN MACHINES

We ask for paper instead of plastic. We put our recycling bins out for collection. We even watched Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, all the way to the end without dozing off.

(Well, almost.) But when it comes to the luxury car or truck in our driveway, it hasn’t been as easy to do our bit for the environment. But times are changing, and so are vehicles’ green profiles. Here are 10 luxury automobiles that are good for the planet—and our driving instincts.

Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid You’ll love this. A big, high-zoot S-Class Mercedes that can average more than 26 miles to the gallon on the highway and deliver the lowest CO2 emissions in the luxury segment. If this brand new S400 Hybrid were any greener, its middle name would be Kermit. Mercedes engineers went for the simple but elegant solution of slotting a skinny, lithium-ion battery-driven 20-horsepower electric motor between its new high-efficiency 3.5-liter V6 and seven-speed auto. This high-tech combo provides a healthy 295 total horses—enough to zip the big Benz to 60 mph from standstill in just 7.2 seconds. It won’t run on electric power alone, but it comes with such eco features as stop-start and regenerative braking that puts juice back in the battery when you hit the brakes.

BMW 755ih Hybrid BMW adopts the same “mild hybrid” technology as Mercedes’ S400 Hybrid for its upcoming ecofriendly 755ih, which is due in showrooms by this summer. Only this time, BMW sticks to its “Ultimate Driving Machine” mantra by coupling the 20-horsepower electric booster to its thundering 4.4-liter twinturbo V8 and eight-speed automatic. The resulting combo packs a whopping 455 horsepower and the kind of torque that can uproot tree stumps. Yet with its stop-start feature and regenerative braking, it should improve fuel economy by around 15 percent compared to the regular 750i. That puts it at around 25 miles per gallon on the highway. The real tragedy, however, is that BMW doesn’t offer its remarkable new 740d twin-turbo diesel stateside. Its staggering performance is matched by 40 miles per gallon economy and best-in-class CO2 emissions.

Lexus LS 600h L Imagine having the on/off switch of a nuclear power plant under your right foot. One press of the gas pedal and you lunge forward like the starship Enterprise going into warp speed. This is the wondrous sensation of piloting Lexus’ flagship LS 600h L hybrid. A 240-cell pack of nickel/metal-hydrid batteries juice a big electric motor that, in turn, boosts the power of the Lexus’ big 5-liter V8. The result is a combined 438-horsepower. And all that power is delivered to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic. The good news is that the car drives like it has a V12 under the hood. The bad news is that the car’s fuel efficiency is ho-hum at best—20 city, 22 highway. But forget about the economy and enjoy it for what it is—arguably the world’s most luxurious car.

Audi Q7 TDI I’m an enormous fan of modern “clean” diesels. Apart from offering dramatic improvements in fuel economy, range and exhaust emissions, they are true torque meisters. Come up behind a slower vehicle, step on the throttle, and they deliver the kind of low-rev thrust normally only experienced by the guy who gets shot out of the Ringling Brothers circus cannon. That’s why I love Audi’s new sevenpassenger Q7 TDI. With 406 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbo 3-liter V6, it delivers a bigger punch than George Foreman in his pregrilling days. That, and 25-to-the-gallon real world highway economy, 600 miles between fill-ups and 25 percent fewer emissions than an equivalent gasoline motor. For that road trip to see Uncle Waldo in Des Moines, there’s no finer long-distance cruising machine.

Fisker Karma Some crystal ball gazers already are predicting this could be the luxury sports sedan of the future. Looking curvier than Beyoncé in Spandex, the low-slung, Lexus LS460-sized, four-door Karma is the work of ace California-based Danish designer Henrik Fisker. Together with military contractor Quantum Technologies, he’s created a clever gas-electric hybrid that couples 5.8-second 0-60 performance with real environmental friendliness. The secret is its bank of advanced lithiumion batteries that amp up two whopping 201-horsepower electric motors. Fisker claims they’ll give the Karma a range of 50 miles on electric power only. Need more range? That’s when the GM Ecotec four-cylinder kicks in to extend the range to more than 300 miles. The highly anticipated Karma is scheduled to go on sale by next spring with prices starting at $87,900.

There’s even a convertible version in the works.

Tesla Roadster Okay, I fess up. I was the first to predict that Tesla would end up out of cash and on the scrap heap before its first car reached production. Now where’s that humble pie to eat? By the middle of this year, the Silicon Valley start-up had delivered its 500th $101,500 electric Roadster and seemingly still has plenty of orders on the books. Celeb owners include George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Michael Dell and a host of others. Ecocar lovers seem to revel in its staggering supercar performance (0-60 in 3.7 seconds) coupled with a 240-plus mile range and a recharge cost of $4. I’m still no fan of its kit car-like looks and the $100-grand sticker still makes me shudder, but the little Tesla is a real success story. Me? I can’t wait for the four-door, mini-Maserati Model S sedan that’s due in 2011.

Lincoln MKT We Americans have clung to the notion that if you want a luxury car or SUV with real power, it had to have a good ol’ V8 under the hood. The folks at Ford are now showing that a high-tech V6 can do the same job, while using a lot less gas and producing far fewer emissions. Its new 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that’s powering the surprisingly sexy Lincoln MKT seven-seat, all-wheel drive crossover, does a fine job of delivering V8 thrust but with 22-to-the-gallon highway economy. The beauty of the EcoBoost is that all 350 pound-feet of torque is delivered from just 3,500 rpm, which means awesome passing power and slingshot acceleration out of a tight curve.

Jaguar XJ With its gorgeous, coupe-like styling, panoramic glass roof and Bentleyesque interior, Jaguar’s all-new 2010 XJ is going to be the gotta-have luxury sedan when it lands in showrooms early this year. But behind all the style and elegance is an impressive sustainability story. For example, its complete body is made from lightweight aluminum that makes the car lighter and more fuel efficient. With its 5-liter naturally aspirated V8, it should average an excellent 26 to the gallon on the highway. Also, more than 50 percent of the body structure is made from recycled aluminum.

That’s the equivalent of 9,000 aluminum Coke cans. And the cool thing about recycled aluminum is that if it takes 100 percent of energy to create new sheet aluminum, only 5 percent is required to recycle waste into sheet metal again.

BMW 335d One of the best compact sports sedans money can buy is a diesel. Hard to believe, but five minutes behind the wheel of BMW’s latest 3-series—the 335d—will have you, too, singing the praises of this hard-charging oil-burner. The reason? Mid-range torque. This is the instant-on thrust you get when you floor the throttle to pass that lumbering 18wheeler on a tight two-lane. In the twin turbocharged 335d with its staggering 425 pound-feet of torque—that’s more than the 6-liter V8 in a Chevy Suburban—the feeling is akin to being released from some giant catapult. And it delivers this awesome performance together with 36-to-the-gallon highway economy. That’s remarkable. Top off the tank, head out on a road trip, and you won’t need to fill-up again for another 600 miles.

Cadillac Escalade Hybrid When gas prices spiraled past $4 a gallon, nothing symbolized automotive gas-hog excess more than Cadillac’s lardy Escalade SUV. Trouble is, if you love to transport seven in the lap of luxury and maybe haul a boat at the same time, there’s little to match the leather-lined comfort of an Escalade. So to project a more ecofriendly image, and even gain a nod of acceptance from the Prius crowd, the Escalade Hybrid makes sense. Mating a heavy-duty 300-volt electric motor to a 6-liter V8 results in 20-to-the-gallon economy in the EPA’s city cycle, which is a 50-percent improvement over the regular gas version. You also should see 21 to the gallon on the highway. Probably more important, however, are the nine badges and decals on the body proclaiming the Escalade’s hybrid status. Even a little “green” is good.

A SISTER’S

Promise

BY PAIGE BOWERS

NANCY BRINKER IS A GLOBAL AMBASSADOR IN THE WORLD’S FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER, A CAUSE BORNE OUT OF A PROMISE TO HER OLDER SISTER. NANCY BRINKER

isters make promises to each other all the time.

I promise not to tell Mom. I promise not to tell anyone.

I promise not to get anything on your favorite dress if you’d please let me borrow it just this once.

Some of these promises are made to be kept. Others—the ones uttered with fingers crossed—are not. But then there are promises like the one Nancy Brinker made three decades ago to her older sister, Susan, who was dying of breast cancer.

I promise to end breast cancer forever.

This was no ordinary promise because it would become the cause of Brinker’s life, embodied in the multinational breast cancer organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which is known globally for its delicate pink ribbon logo and fundraising walks and races. One of the major funders of breast cancer research, Komen has helped train more than 400 breast cancer researchers and has supported almost 2,000 research projects over the past three decades. In 2009 alone, Komen doled out some $60 million in research grants to U.S. and international scientists.

And to think, this cause was borne out of a sisterly bond between two Midwestern girls—one a 88

self-professed awkward tomboy (Nancy), the other a sweet beauty queen (Susan)—both of whom wanted to help other people suffering from a disease so stigmatized that people feared it was contagious. Susan died in 1980, at age 36. Four years later, Brinker fought her own battle with breast cancer. When her treatments were complete, Brinker, then a Dallas resident, set out to make good on that pledge to her sister.

“I realized that during the Vietnam War, 59,000 soldiers died, but in that same time period, 339,000 people died of breast cancer and no one was outraged,” Brinker says.

Part of it was due to perceptions about the disease, she says. In her efforts to launch a breast cancer advocacy network, Brinker learned that potential sponsors didn’t want to be associated with any type of cancer and newspapers refused to print the words “breast cancer” at all. Faced with those challenges, Brinker took “a few hundred dollars, a shoebox [full of friends’ names to call] and a great platform” to start the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation from her living room in 1982. The foundation changed its name to Susan G. Komen for the Cure in 2007.

“I knew if I was ever going to have a chance to change the culture and address the eradication of this disease, whatever I did had to be big and it had to be grassroots,” Brinker says of her organization, which now has a network of millions of activists all over the world. “I also had to have the most effective organization in the world.”

One year later, the first Race for the Cure was run around a Dallas shopping mall. Today, more than 1.5 million people run in the race series each year in more than 120 cities around the world. This year, the West Palm Beach version of the race will be held on January 30.

“In the past two decades, breast cancer has gone from a stigmatized illness to a health problem that people feel comfortable talking about,” says Dr. Eric P. Winer, director of the Breast Oncology Center at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “I believe that Nancy has thrust breast cancer into public view and made the needs of women who have it a national concern.”

Winer, who also is Komen’s chief scientific adviser, says he believes there will be a dramatic decline in breast cancer-related mortality in the next 10-15 PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2010

years, followed by advances that will eventually enable doctors to end the disease.

The advances will be spurred by Brinker’s passion.

“She is a truly tireless woman,” Winer says. “If I e-mail her at 1 a.m., I usually have a response from her by 3 a.m. There is not an hour or two that goes by when she is not thinking about breast cancer. Her inability to sleep may be painful for her, but it helps women around the world who have this disease.”

If anyone knows that, it’s WPBF-TV 25 anchor Kristin Hoke, who has been battling breast cancer off and on since January 2005. Hoke has not only interviewed Brinker in her Palm Beach home (where Brinker visits to rest and spend time with her mother a few days out of each month), but befriended her as well. After her diagnosis, Hoke turned to Brinker for advice about treatment. Brinker, in turn, directed Hoke to Winer, who was conducting a clinical trial that might benefit her.

“That’s the kind of woman she is,” Hoke says. “She sees each person as an individual story and does her best to make their lives better.”

Hoke’s fight continues. In 2007, three months after she gave birth to her daughter, Isabella, her cancer returned. “The day I was diagnosed I told [my oncologist] I couldn’t [endure chemotherapy] and raise a baby,” Hoke recalls. “She told me you can and you will. And two years later, here I am. I believe in miracles and I believe we will find a cure for this.”

Hoke re-entered chemotherapy in late 2007, determined to get rid of 50 tumors. She is still fighting five tumors, but is grateful for the support she continues to receive from friends, family and her colleagues.

“Difficult times forge who you are,” she says. “And I am hopeful that this cancer will be kicked to the curb so I can enjoy my daughter and husband.”

As head of a global movement that has destigmatized breast cancer, decreased its mortality rates and inched closer to wiping it off the map, Brinker has become a sought-after speaker and government official, in part because of her work on behalf of people like Hoke. She has served as U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, the Chief of Protocol for the United States and is currently the World Health Organization’s Goodwill Ambassador for Cancer Control.

That work in diplomacy has served her well. In October 2009, she flew to Egypt for a Komen breast cancer conference, only to land and discover that the Egyptian government had turned away a group of Israeli breast cancer researchers and advocates.

“A number of organizations called on her to boycott the conference, but she went in and got the Egyptian government to re-invite the Israeli doctors,” Winer says. “So she’s not someone who runs away from challenges. She’s someone who confronts them head on and gets them fixed.”

Acknowledging that, in August 2009 President Obama awarded Brinker with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor.

When the White House called Brinker to inform her about her medal, she thought it was one of her friends playing a practical joke. “It took a while for me to believe it,” she says. “Once I realized that it was real, I was really taken aback and got tears in my eyes because it would be awarded a few days after the thirtieth anniversary of my sister’s death.”

The ceremony was an emotional one that she shared with people from Komen, her son Eric and her mother, Brinker says.

“I see this as my mother’s medal too,” she says.

And though she didn’t say it, she probably sees it as her sister’s medal as well. ◆

During the past decade, the Naples Winter Wine Festival has reigned as the supreme wine event of Florida, drawing a coterie of Palm Beachers eager to expand their wine collections—and benefit youth in the process. Over the years, the festival has raised an astonishing $74 million to benefit needy youngsters.

The tenth annual festival will be held January 29-31, with the theme of “Expanding Horizons.” The format is similar to years past: Vintner Dinners on Friday evening in the private homes of 15 trustees, pairing celebrity chefs with participating winemakers; Saturday’s auction at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples; Sunday’s Celebration Brunch, which allows guests to mingle with both chefs and vintners, also at the Ritz-Carlton.

“We got involved with the festival because it presented an incredible opportunity to help children at risk,” says Francis Rooney, who serves as 2010 festival chair along with his wife, Kathleen. Francis was the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See (the Vatican) from 2005 through 2008.

Repeat celebrities include Thomas Keller, Emeril Lagasse and Daniel Boulud, who will be joined by luminaries such as Rick Tramonto (Tru, Chicago), Nancy Oakes (Boulevard, San Francisco) and Tom Colicchio (Craft, New York), as well as young, emerging talent.

All eyes will be on the auction as it unfolds on Saturday. Rooney is grateful to the vintners who have stepped up and given generously. Ann Colgin will offer an all-day culinary class at her home in Napa conducted by Chef Thomas Keller, with a dinner accompanied by

Colgin wines. Star-struck participants may bid on a private dinner in Los Angeles with Kyle MacLachlan, star of Desperate Housewives, or dine with “Judge Judy” Sheindlin in Greenwich, Connecticut, before paying a backstage visit to Live with Regis and Kelly.

Of the lots that combine wine and travel, perhaps the most tempting is a 10day tour of South Africa. It includes visits to Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate in Franschhoek and Zelma Long’s Vilafonté winery, along with trips to Singita Game Reserves and Table Mountain.

One innovation at the auction this year will be the “Fund A Need” lot, which will allow bidders who failed to purchase previous lots to pledge money to help children. The goal is 100-percent participation among the guests.

“We’re thankful and humbled to have the chance to make the tenth anniversary a success,” says Rooney. “Up to this point, the festival has realized the vision of the original trustees. Where does it go from here? We’re grateful to be at the helm during this important turning point.” ◆

LET’S TRYST AGAIN This popular gastro pub is serving up surprisingly satisfying fare in a fun, lively atmosphere.

BY MARK SPIVAK

Start the night at Tryst with the Salumi and Cheese Board and an icecold microbrew.

SIGVISION

Begin with a dish of olives marinated in citrus and rosemary ($4), or with House Smoked Fish Dip ($7)—light and fluffy, studded with fresh capers and garnished with pickled jalapeños. The glorious fish tacos ($12), the only dish to survive from the Sol Kitchen era, also make a wonderful starter. Stuffed with Napa cabbage slaw, grape tomatoes, avocado cream and lime mojo, this dish awakens the palate and spurs us on with carefully modulated heat.

There are so many temptations at Tryst that you may not get around to ordering a main course, yet there are some that should not be missed. There’s a beautifully spicy Chicken Pad Thai ($13), studded with slices of shiitake mushroom, peanuts and snow peas. Moist and perfectly cooked Scottish salmon ($21) is coated with a balanced ancho honey glaze, served on a bed of spring vegetable succotash. Annie’s Fish and Chips ($14) is a thing of beauty—coated with smoked Maldon sea salt batter and served with aged sherry vinegar, the fish is so fresh and juicy that it practically sings. In addition, there are blackboard specials that change daily. Among the simple

Imagine if your local pub had a talented chef, an innovative and ever-changing menu, an interesting and reasonably priced wine list, excellent service, and a sense of fun and camaraderie.

If so, you’d be in Tryst, a cross between a wine bar and gastro pub located in the former Sol Kitchen premises on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. The renovated space is inviting, with exposed brick walls, wooden floors, a long bar, and an outdoor patio suitable for lingering through the afternoon and into the evening. The kitchen is in the capable hands of Executive Chef Julian Greaves, who has taken casual food to a new and exciting level.

and satisfying desserts, the Chocolate Pot de Crème with Espresso Whipped Cream ($8) is a decadent winner.

At the core of this operation is one of the most interesting beverage programs in the area. While the 150 wines include something for every budget, they also comprise a collection of gems rarely found elsewhere; there’s an extensive selection of half bottles and wines by the glass. Markups are low, making a splurge seem affordable. There’s also a list of small batch, artisanal beers at reasonable prices. When in doubt, indulge in a great bottle of wine accompanied by a platter of cured meats ($11) or a selection of farmstead cheeses ($12).

Unlike some other casual dining environments, you get serious

restaurant service here. The staff is enthusiastic, and they pride themselves on precise attention to detail. This is partly due to the fact that Tryst is the sister restaurant of 32 East down the street, and the same exacting standards have been applied.

From the attentive management to the outgoing bartenders, Tryst is a high-energy environment. It’s likely to be packed during most parts of the evening, and the spirit of conviviality is catching. Outside the formal service schedule, there’s a popular happy hour and a bar scene that extends into the night. You may dine out frequently, but it’s hard to remember when you’ve been in the presence of people enjoying themselves as much as they do here. ◆

SPICED UP SUSHI When you think of sushi, Latin America doesn’t usually come to mind. But, with a few Latin influences, RA Sushi Executive Chef Tai Obata has created some unique menu items.

Jalapeño and cilantro add cool spice to the Hot Mess—crispy rice balls topped with spicy king crab mix. A Mexican restaurant staple, chips and salsa, gets a RA makeover with spicy tuna tartare. Served with wonton crisps, it’s the perfect happy hour snack. Speaking of happy hour, the drink menu has a few new tempting libations, including the Shiso Naughty martini and the Strawberry Soju Sunrise. Palm Beach Gardens (561-340-2112, rasushi.com)

POWER LUNCH GOING GREEN Eating healthy just got tastier with the opening of The Green Gourmet in Delray Beach. Owner/Executive Chef Joey Giannuzzi, formerly the executive chef at Henry’s, is concocting an array of fresh dishes with high-quality organic ingredients.

The menu can change daily depending on what Chef Joey can get fresh.

Prepared selections are displayed in a refrigerated glass case, much like our favorite New York delis. Items tagged with a “GF” are gluten free, and an “AN” means all natural, but this is definitely not a crunchy granola health food store. Chef Joey is realizing his dream of creating organic gourmet comfort food. “I’m just having fun with food,” he says between greeting customers and the curious who wander in to see what’s new.

After a taste of organic heirloom tomatoes with house-made mozzarella (yes, he makes his own mozzarella), we moved on to soups, which are prepared daily. Both the Tomato Basil and Cream of Asparagus were alive with fresh-from-the-garden flavor.

Sandwiches are available, but we went for the entrée specials. Chicken braised in white wine and leeks was roasted with beets and butternut squash and served with organic wild rice. Wild-caught Ecuadorian shrimp was served on a bed of coconut rice and drizzled with a light mango glaze. The chicken 100 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Roxy’s, a downtown West Palm Beach fixture, celebrated 75 years of business with the opening of SKY309, a chic rooftop bar at its Clematis Street location. The bar features an island vibe, complete with waterfalls, palm trees and a beautiful teak dance floor. Mojitos and other exotic cocktails complement the tropical atmosphere.

The happy-hour seafood buffet and dinnertime tapas already are wildly popular. VIP packages featuring limo service also are available. SKY309 joins the three other distinct food and entertainment venues that share the building—Roxy’s, 10@2 Saloon & Piano Bar, and Rome.

Looking for fresh seafood and a fun, casual atmosphere in West Palm Beach? Reef Rd Rum Bar on Clematis Street fits the bill. Formerly the home of Clematis Social, the restaurant has been transformed with a tropical feel, complete with tiki statues and puffer fish lights over the bar. Fish lovers will be tempted by treats such as the Smoked Fish Dip, Crispy Fresh Florida Grouper and Grilled Island Style Mahi. There also is a selection of dishes for landlubbers, and the bar features 100 brands of rum—naturally. 561-838-9099

All meals can be packed up to go in corn-based containers, following the restaurant’s green theme. The counters, tables and chairs are made of recycled materials, and the light fixtures over the counters were once traffic lights. Now they are encouraging guests to slow down and enjoy what Chef Joey is serving up. (561-455-2466, thegreengourmetdelray.com)

THE LAMP, MARY CASSATT; COURTESY OF ADELSON GALLERIES, NEW YORK

agenda

CULTURE v CLOSE UP American impressionist Mary Cassatt had a raw talent. Using pastels and an etching process called aquatint, she captured strong bonds between women and children. Her intimate drawings captured the attention of her peers, including Edgar Degas, who invited her to join the impressionist exhibitions (1874-1886), a series of independent shows hosted by impressionist painters, which ultimately brought the art movement to prominence. She was one of only three women and the only American invited. The Boca Raton Museum of Art exhibition, “Mary Cassatt: Works on Paper,” runs from January 20 to April 11 and reveals the artist’s creative process through the years. bocamuseum.org —Lola Thélin PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2010 119

Dr. Dana M. Goldberg earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Notre Dame, where she was graduated summa cum laude. During her undergraduate studies, Dr. Goldberg was a top finalist in the Miss Ohio pageant, where she placed first in talent by playing classical piano. She credits years of piano lessons with developing the dexterity and control of her hands that make her the surgeon she is today. Dr. Goldberg then went on to earn her Doctor of Medicine at The Ohio State University, where she was nationally ranked by the America Medical Association for developing a curriculum for an educational week.

She completed her residency training in both general and plastic surgery at The Ohio State University Medical Center, where she was chosen to receive the prestigious Intern of the Year award. Dr. Goldberg was also a finalist for the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Compassion Award, which is chosen by the nurses to honor physicians who provide extraordinary patient care. Dr. Goldberg has been ranked nationally among her peers on plastic surgery examinations and continues to excel in her field by staying current with the latest advances in plastic surgery. Dr. Goldberg enjoys all aspects of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, but she has a strong passion for breast and cosmetic surgery.

FINALE v PERSONAL STYLE Amy Smilovic is the creative force behind the casual chic line Tibi.

Launched in 1997, the brand includes 10 clothing collections as well as a line of shoes, swimwear and home accessories. When it’s time to recuperate, Amy, her husband and two boys set up camp at The Breakers. In fact, the island inspired her 2009 resort collection. “With all that was going on in the world, I was gravitating to places that truly embodied style and luxury,” she says. “Palm Beach is so authentic in that respect. It has a distinct style that I completely relate to. It’s utterly chic, often frivolous, yet relaxed and always color, color, color.” —Lola Thélin 1. Echo 2.
