From the Publisher

Ron Woods, our late founder and publisher of Palm Beach Illustrated, was the keeper of this page until his passing in 2013. Ron enjoyed the holidays and kept a Christmas tree up year-round just because it made him smile. I appreciated that about him. Traditions have a personal touch. They are what we remake them.

In my blended household, we enjoy Christmas and Hanukkah much to the delight of our college-aged daughters. As with many South Florida families, we have fused the history of two different groups to create new ways of celebrating the season. Florida is good for that—reinventing the past to fashion something new, merry, and bright.

A classic seasonal must is the Festival of Trees at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in West Palm Beach. The event runs from December 4-16 and features artistic interpretations of family and cultural holiday traditions. Enjoy a walk through the gardens and delight in the sights, sounds, and tastes of this special winter wonderland. Make sure to check out the Nutcracker-themed tree, an homage to ballet sure to rival visions of sugarplums.

Including music in the season not only brings back memories but also builds on the customs of holidays past. Nat King Cole Generation Hope provides music education to children with the greatest need and the fewest resources—in December and throughout the year. Palm Beach Illustrated is honored to partner with this worthy organization to brighten the lives of so many children in Palm Beach County. Latin Grammy Award winner Nestor Torres will entertain at the nonprofit’s annual President’s Society Dinner on December 2.

The holidays also encourage reflection. We are so pleased at Palm Beach Media Group to have launched a new magazine in 2015. Coquina arrived in October, and I am thrilled with the response to this home and design publication. Illustrated Events was our second new venture this year. The division is poised to handle fêtes for occasions of all types and sizes.

Looking back at the past 12 months, there certainly was plenty going on with new buildings, new retail, and new residents moving to our community. Reflecting on these developments focuses our PBI team on how best to cover these trends while holding onto what makes our publications unique. The Palm Beaches are always evolving, but fascinating people, fabulous fashion, and poolside holiday celebrations are a constant.

Whether honoring old traditions or forging new ones this holiday season, thank you for welcoming Palm Beach Illustrated into your home. It is our joy to bring you the people, places, and details that make December in Palm Beach County so special. To this season and many more to come.

It’s a tradition!

From the Editor

I’ve said it before: The holiday season is my favorite time of the year— especially now that I watch it unfold through the eyes of precocious little ones.

Take the negotiation with Santa Claus, for example. Last year, my son, 5 at the time, wrote Santa a letter that said: “Dear Santa: Surprise me. Love, Ian.” Now that he’s a big first-grader, he’s pulling out the stops and pledging all kinds of tribute to the jolly guy (“I’ll practice piano! I’ll eat my vegetables!”) in exchange for the extra-big Lego Star Wars set he wants. It’s absolutely heartwarming.

I hope that love for the festive season is apparent in our pages as well. The December issue is typically full of glittering eye candy ranging from entertaining and food to jewelry and gifting. Feast your eyes upon “Stellar Statements,” on page 112, an out-of-this-world array of jewels we are coveting.

If you want inspiration for your holiday soiree, turn to “A Tropical Tableau” on page 96. Jacqueline and Albert Togut invite us into their home for an alfresco dinner party with friends. Jacqueline’s collection of nutcrackers, her gorgeous silver-and-blue decorations, and a cozy fire speak of a traditional Christmas, but a coastal Mediterranean menu and a tropicalSouthern tablescape give the fête a sunny twist. Though it seems like disparate concepts, in Palm Beach—and in the hands of an expert hostess—it all works.

For those planning their own parties at home, we have plenty of ideas. In “Sipping Pretty” (page 138), we ask culinary and mixology pros how to delight guests and get them involved in the festivities. Makeyour-own gin and tonic bar, anyone? Our food and wine editor, Mark Spivak, has some additional advice on festive batch cocktails that will keep guests happy and spirits bright. See “Crowd Pleasers” on page 128.

Of course, December isn’t only about holiday affairs. For art collectors, the only can’t-miss event this month is Art Basel Miami Beach. Though the fair happens in Miami, it draws people from all over the country, including a sizeable contingent of Palm Beachers. In a piece that took months of research and compilation, we present a thoughtful guide to the sectors, galleries, artists, and peripheral events that make Art Basel one of the greatest fairs in the international art circuit. Turn to “Where the Art Is” (page 104) for all the details.

May your holidays be full of joy, warmth, and abundance.

War Stories

Alley Dudes, Beju LeJobart

Parts of Tori Eversmann’s life were immortalized when her husband Matt’s role in the Battle of Mogadishu became the basis for the book and subsequent film Black Hawk Down. Now, the West Palm Beach resident is telling her experience and others like it as the main story in her debut novel, The Immortals (Seattle Book Company, $24.95). “I wanted my readers to have more than a glimpse but an opening of the kimono and see what it is like to be an army wife during the Iraq War,” she says. Using her journals as a jumping-off point, she crafted her semi-autobiographical main character, Calli Coleman, who must raise her daughter alone when her husband is recalled to active duty. By forging relationships with other military spouses, Coleman finds the strength she needs to not only withstand her husband’s lengthy deployment but also grow as an individual. “The war is a character in the novel, but I think the story really is about a woman coming into her own,” Eversmann says.

President Kelly throws a pitch at a Cardinals spring training game at Roger Dean Stadium.

Florida Atlantic University President John Kelly may still be a fresh face on campus, but he’s no owlet. Since arriving in March 2014, he’s made connections with students, listened to his faculty, put new initiatives into place, and become entrenched in Owl athletics.

“I may be a little different than other presidents in this, but I really like a hands-on approach,” Kelly says. “I want to know what’s going on. I don’t want to just be some mouthpiece for the university.”

A born and bred South Carolinian, Kelly spent the majority of his career commuting from his home in Charleston to Clemson University, where he held many leadership positions during his 28year tenure. While there, he helped raise the university’s national standing, as seen in its advancement from seventy-eighth to twentieth in the U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of public universities. He plans to achieve similar success at FAU. In his first year as president, Kelly met with each department to assess its needs and goals. Those interactions resulted in “The Race to Excellence,” a 10-year strategic plan that sets FAU on course to become the country’s fastest-improving public research university. “I have no desire to grow the size of the university, but I have a strong desire to grow the quality of the university,” he says.

Kelly’s race extends to the student body. For the 2015 class, he raised admission standards from 40 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

a 3.0 GPA to a 3.3. For the 2016 class, the bar is set even higher at a 3.6. He also wants to better the university’s graduation rate and have more students leave on time. But he’s not asking them to go at it alone. He’s introduced mentorship and advising programs and also spends a great deal of time on campus. A self-described football fanatic, he cheers on his fellow Owls at sporting events, and he and his wife, Carolyn, enjoy hosting guests and representing the FAU family. Most importantly, he makes an effort to connect with students, whether it’s by handing out cookies to graduates, helping incoming freshmen move in, or simply tweeting as much as he can. “Every time I’m with a student, I usually learn something I didn’t know, so that’s exciting,” he says.

Beyond his role as president, Kelly is also a father to two young girls, so he understands the importance of higher education as both a parent and an educator. To his daughters and his students, he has one message: Learning never ends. “I hope that’s what our students will do: They’ll develop a love of learning that never stops,” he says. (fau.edu)

Florida Atlantic University is also making strides in the arts thanks to Theatre Lab, a new professional resident company. Led by Lou Tyrrell—formerly of Florida Stage and Theatre at Arts Garage—Theatre Lab aims to develop new works and train student actors.

Currently, the company is working out of the Parliament Hall residence in a 150seat “theater in the raw.” Eventually, it will find a more permanent space on campus; for now, Tyrrell enjoys being close to the students. “That’s been the most fun,” he says, “to see the benefit of the proximity and the natural collaborations and discussions and relationships that can come out of that proximity.”

Theatre Lab has already introduced a number of programs such as Making Musicals, which presents new American musicals, and Play Slam, play readings featuring discussions with the creators involved. By fall 2016, Tyrrell hopes to fully produce a handful of these works. Theatre Lab also comprises the Playwrights’ Forum, a master-class program with top playwrights, and the Young Artists and Writers Project, which seeks to spark a love of storytelling in local schoolchildren.

While Theatre Lab is a professional company, Tyrrell will cast FAU undergraduates as appropriate and include them in the behind-the-scenes activity.

As a prominent participant in the South Florida theater scene, Tyrrell looks forward to watching Theatre Lab grow and fostering the next wave of theater lovers. “I’m at a point in my career where nothing excites me more than to start to pass the torch,” he says. (561-297-4784, fau.edu/theatre)

Insider

Shop Talk From haute department stores to curated boutiques, Palm Beach shopping has it all. USA Today readers recently voted Palm Beach as the second best destination for shopaholics (just behind Santa Fe, New Mexico), so we asked three local trendsetters to pinpoint what makes island shopping so special. They share their tips and favorite stores to help you make the most out of holiday shopping.

Jeff Fowler, senior event sales manager, The Breakers Palm Beach

What sets Palm Beach shopping apart First, it’s walkable. You can spend the day walking in and out of the beautiful vias and along Worth Avenue, and at the end of a nice day you can take a stroll along the ocean. Second, because the stores are mainly small boutiques, you really get personal service when you shop.

Go-to home decor store I love to mix and match, so I love the home section of Calypso St. Barth and also MacKenzie-Childs.

Favorite place for beauty must-haves John Barrett Salon is a one-stop shop for beauty. I go there for haircuts and everything from Tammy Fender facials to mani/pedis. It also has a nice retail component and delicious-smelling hair products.

Best kids’ spot I love Lil Rapunzel’s for kids’ clothing and especially gifts. It always has the cutest clothes and hip, fun pieces for my daughters. The gift selection is very nice, from books to personalized trains to adorable socks.

It’s my go-to anytime I need a baby gift.

Top tip for Palm Beach shoppers Have a game plan with wiggle room.

Always leave room for the unexpected, because you never know what’s going to catch your eye—especially in Palm Beach.

Heather Lowenthal, owner of Posh Parties, Palm Beach

Favorite hidden gem Babalu, with its fun, hip treasures and coolness in Via Mizner, off Worth Avenue Best place for menswear Neiman Marcus has the most fashionable menswear. There is nothing like a Tom Ford suit.

Most “Palm Beach chic” store For vintage style mixed with Palm Beach cool, definitely Lilly Pulitzer at The Breakers Top spot for grooming I have a tie: Ivette Gil/Beauty Design because she keeps my eyebrows perfect, and Frank Cassi Beauty because Cassi is the best blond colorist in town.

Go-to for holiday gifts Patrick Lézé on Sunrise Avenue. Sweets, especially Patrick’s macarons, are the way to anyone’s heart. The blueberry ones are my favorite because each macaron has one fresh blueberry placed in the center.

Kelly Murray, Palm Beach lifestyle blogger, oncherrylane.com Best way to begin a day of shopping Brunch at Surfside Diner, then starting out at the east end of Worth Avenue at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.

Go-to clothing store Island Company. I’m a beach girl at heart, and Island Company offers just that—I wear their linen dresses almost every day. Fun tip: They have a bar in the store.

Favorite baubles boutique Jennifer Miller Jewelry in Via Mizner Top tip for Palm Beach shoppers Give yourself plenty of time to explore the avenue and each via—and make time for a long lunch to soak in the surroundings.

Best way to end a day of splurging With a glass of wine and pizza at Pizza Al Fresco in Via Mizner. I love sitting outside under the lights; it’s my Sunday night ritual.

FOR THE ULTIMATE LUXURY LIFESTYLE, THERE IS ONLY ONE ADDRESS.

Between Delray Beach and Boca Raton, you’ll find the most desirable waterfront condominium in South Florida. 3200 South Ocean is located directly on the Intracoastal in Highland Beach with private ocean access.

Mexico’s Hidden By paul rubio

Discover sophisticated cities and natural hideaways along Mexico’s road less traveled

encounter whale sharks (right) and stay close to nature at Las Nubes de Holbox (above).

Holbox

A

long yet narrow sliver of mangrove and beach off the northern tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Holbox (pronounced hole-bosh) has managed to evade the lexicon of travel know-it-alls and tourist hordes. Its unspoiled state, however, is no secret to its primary residents: wild flamin-

gos, whale sharks, and a single boho-chic fishing village, home to about 2,000 locals.

Translated as “Black Hole” in Mayan, Holbox lives true to its name as a vortex of simplicity where globalization disappears.

Remède Spa at the St. Regis Mexico City

Meditate on the beach before retreating to your suite at the Casa Sandra (above and left) or enjoy breakfast alfresco at Las Nubes de Holbox (right).

living in the moment comes naturally. Days rarely stray from lounging under a thatchedroof beach cabana or ambling along the island’s contiguous lagoon. If visiting between May and September, the height of whale shark season, then an experiential snorkeling encounter with the world’s largest extant fish is a must.

Development exists solely across Holbox’s westernmost section. There, the hotels span the entire 1-mile width of the island and sandy roads lead from a Main Square to lanes of small shops and Caribbean-style wood shacks housing tour operators and no-shoes-required restaurants. Holbox’s unpaved highway ends at its easternmost structure, the boutique hotel

Las Nubes de Holbox (lasnubesdeholbox. com), where the upstairs master suites grant the best ocean views and superlative flamingo encounters. Slightly closer to “town,” the 12room Casa Sandra (casasandra.com) champions a delightful barefoot sophistication without tarnishing the old-school Mexican bucolic charm. Its exterior showcases iconic Mexican architecture, with whitewashed walls and a thatched-palapa roof, but its interiors, clad in hand-embroidered pillows and tapestries, imbue this paradisiacal boutique hotel with a familiar tinge of luxury.

Mexico City

Mexico’s capital bursts with the passion, colors, and flavors of the country’s 31 diverse states, offering a welcome urban retreat from the typical beachside circuit. While there’s no shortage of places to flash your pesos in the world’s eighth richest city, the wealth of free historic and cultural spectacles are the true highlights. Chapultepec, Mexico City’s Central Park equivalent, is peppered with worldrenowned museums such as the Museo Nacional de Antropología (mna.inah.gob.mx), home to the Aztec calendar stone Piedra del Sol and the fairy tale–like Castillo de Chapultepec. Teotihuacán, one of the largest pyramidal structures built in the pre-Columbian Americas, is just a short drive from the city center and is an impressive, lesser-known site that easily rivals Mexico’s more famous ruins.

San Miguel de Allende

The rogue city that helped launch the Mexican War of Independence is now making history as the country’s most glamorous destination. San Miguel de Allende, an eighteenthcentury colonial town in the heart of Mexico’s central highlands, sparkles with UNESCO World Heritage grandeur, captured in its colorful streets, stunning gardens, neoclassical monuments, neo-gothic churches, and ba-

roque-style homes.

Influenced by the region’s architectural customs, the Rosewood San Miguel de Allende (rosewoodhotels.com/en/sanmiguelde allende) was built like a traditional Mexican hacienda, with expansive rooms that surround either a central courtyard or aromatic fields of lavender. Arched domes lead from one building to the next, each corridor lined with art and ending at a different modern marvel.

In San Miguel de Allende, no map is required. Meandering with no concern for the destination provides ample opportunity to snap photos of the red, rust, and yellow kaleidoscope of buildings, browse petite museums, and discover esoteric galleries and boutiques tucked into alleyways. At some point, however, be sure to find your way to Moxi (moxi.com.mx), helmed by Mexico’s current “it” chef, Enrique Olvera. Feast on Olvera’s play on traditional Mexican dishes, like eggplant mole and pumpkin risotto with squash

A tour of this seventeenth-century estate comes with gourmet food paired with tequila, and not just any tequila—Dragones’ 100-percent blue agave Joven tequila is consumed only in its purest form.

luxury IN THE ROUGH Bentley unveils its new Bentayga, the world’s fastest, most luxurious, and most expensive SUV

By Howard Walker Checking the options boxes when purchasing a new car always delivers a frisson of excitement. Do you stick with the stock 18-inch rims or spend the extra couple of grand for the 20s? Do you go with the $800 stereo or upgrade to the $1,500 model with more bells, watts, and whistles?

Of course, I want it all.

Slightly more consideration might be required when filling in the lengthy extras list for your new $229,100 Bentley Bentayga, the world’s fastest and most expensive SUV, heading to showrooms this spring.

You’ll love the platinum Breitling dashboard-mounted clock, but you could upgrade to the optional Breitling Mulliner Tourbillon ticker for a jaw-dropping $234,000.

Naturally, it’s a horological marvel. The tourbillon mechanism is what the watch industry quite rightly calls a “complication,” meaning it improves the precision of a watch by counteracting gravity-induced disturbances. In short, it makes it as accurate as a $10 digital Timex.

74

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

This clock, however, is aesthetically superior—to say the least. Its case is handcrafted from solid 18-karat white or rose gold. You can also choose between an ebony or white mother-of-pearl face, both adorned with eight chunky diamonds.

The party trick of this ticking pièce de résistance is how it winds. In the same way the mechanical watch on your wrist requires movement to keep it accurate, the Bentley clock has a self-winding mechanism that spins the entire clock three times every 15 minutes to keep it on time to a fault.

That $234,000 price tag only covers the clock.

Given the myriad other accoutrements, you’ll probably want to hire armed guards to protect your investment when the Bentley is parked.

As for the Bentayga itself, you’re looking at a mechanical masterpiece equal to anything Breitling creates. Powered by a 600-horse-

power, twin-turbo, 12-cylinder engine, this 5,300-pound penthouse on wheels almost defies physics when it races to 60 mph from rest in four seconds or hits its top speed of 187 mph.

Because SUVs are designed to play in the mud, the Bentayga’s complex 4x4 system has settings to tackle everything from mud, snow, grass, sand, and even that pesky, crunchy gravel on driveways leading up to Downton Abbey– style English country mansions.

Worry lines gone in an instant!

You’ve got character…

Keep it, just tweak it!

Thankfully, it’s a million times easier on the eyes than the regrettable EXP 9F concept Bentley showed the world in 2012. Ultimately, it lacks the elegance, class, and distinctive style of, say, a long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography.

The Bentayga awes when you open the door. This is Bentley at its bespoke, handcrafted finest: exquisite veneers, quilted leathers, and shimmery stainless-steel fixtures and fittings.

The 22-way adjusting front seats deliver unparalleled comfort, while the individual rear pews (a bench is optional) power 18 different ways. Want tunes? The 18-speaker 1,950-watt Naim audio system will happily oblige.

This being Bentley, just ask and it shall be delivered. The company’s Mulliner bespoke division will install a custom hamper set for alfresco picnics, crafted by royal furniture maker David Linley (grandson of King George VI) and complete with a Champagne chiller as well as custom china and crystal flutes.

Speaking of the British Royal Family, Her Majesty will receive the very first Bentayga off the production line; it will join her Bentley State Limousine in the royal lockup.

As for the Bentayga name, the jury is still out. According to Bentley, it comes from Roque Bentayga, the 4,642-foot mountain peak on Spain’s Canary Islands. At least it’s better than the Bentley Canary. «

Bonds Family

By Jennifer Pfaff Photography By Jerry Rabinowitz

Following eight years of advocacy, Ernie and Liezl Els celebrate a major achievement in their quest to help those on the autism spectrum

E

rnie Els sits on the back steps of the lanai at his Jupiter home, his 13-year-old son, Ben, situated in between his long legs. To his right, his wife, Liezl, and 16-year-old daughter, Samantha, try to get Ben to smile for a picture. “Cheeeese,” they sing encouragingly.

Eventually, it works. “Cheeeeeese,” Ben chimes in, drawing out the word with a smile. The exclamation causes Ernie to crack one himself.

In this moment, Ernie isn’t the South African golfer the world knows him to be. A former World No. 1, the 6-foot-3 athlete has captured 70 career victories since turning professional in 1989, includ-

78

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

ing two U.S. Opens, two World Golf Championships, and 13 PGA Tours. The World Golf Hall of Fame member also holds the record for the most consecutive weeks—758—inside the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Right now, however, he’s just Dad. Loving, protective, relaxed, content.

The camera clicks, and the scene is documented. The family then moves to a nearby couch for another photo, and the gentle coaxing to convince Ben to smile begins again.

It’s a common interaction for the Els family—and many others: Ben has autism spectrum disorder, a neurodevelopmental condition that affects one in 68 children. Found in an estimated 2 million Americans, the disability can cause a variety of handicaps, like difficulties handling social interactions and communicating, repetitive behaviors, sensitivity to processing senses, and impaired motor coordination. Intellectual abilities range from disabled to superior, with many individuals excelling in skills such as music and math, and the condition is unique to each person, revealing any combina

tion of characteristics. There is no cure, but therapies can help targeted areas.

Ben’s case is severe. He doesn’t say much or maintain eye contact.

Playing golf with his famous father is out of the question; he prefers being chased on the course, and Ernie happily obliges. “His communication skill is not that great, but he’s the world’s most unbelievable kid,” Ernie says of Ben. “He loves smiling. He loves to just laugh. He loves seeing happy faces, and he wants to make you laugh. He’s just got a great demeanor. He’s the softest kid.” palmbeachillustrated.com | december 2015

When the Els family decided to move to South Florida, Ernie went house hunting for the family and found a gorgeous home in The Bear’s Club. They have lived there since 2008.

80 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Ben is the reason the Elses live in South Florida—the family moved from England so he could receive treatments here—and, naturally, he’s also the reason Ernie and Liezl have become autism advocates. As they’ve settled in Jupiter over the past seven years, they’ve opened their home as the setting for dozens of fundraisers for what has become their life’s biggest calling: a campaign to create the world’s most innovative autism school and research facility, a dream that became reality in August when the first phase of their Els Center of Excellence opened in Jupiter.

But before they were parents, advocates, and philanthropists, Ernie and Liezl were early-20-somethings who met in 1992 at a pizzeria in Liezl’s hometown of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Ernie was in town for a golf tournament and, upon meeting Liezl, “immediately wanted her to come up to Johannesburg for the next tournament,” he says. She did, and six years later they married in a vineyard in Cape Town and moved to London, a convenient home base for Ernie as he traveled the globe for his career. Samantha and Ben were both born in England, yet their early developments were noticeably different.

“Just a couple of months after Ben’s birth, we could see he wasn’t quite reacting the same as Samantha,” Ernie recalls. “We thought he was just a bit slow. But when he turned 1, he wasn’t even trying to crawl yet.”

“He was like a blob,” Liezl adds. “He just sat around.”

That was a wake-up call. Liezl took Ben to different doctors and specialists, and he received various therapies, including speech and occupational, but nobody could pinpoint what was going on. It wasn’t until Ernie and Liezl began reading about autism that things began to click.

“You knew before you knew,” Liezl says. “You didn’t want to bring it out and say it, but you kind of knew what was coming.”

They got their answer in Augusta, Georgia. The week Ernie was competing in the 2007 Masters Tournament, they took Ben to a specialist who was recommended by pediatrician Dr. Charles Howell II, the father of fellow golfer and Augusta native Charles Howell III. After undergoing two tests, Ben was officially diagnosed with autism.

“To hear it from [Dr. Howell] was probably a little more comforting, because it was coming from a friend and in our best interest,” Ernie says. “We needed to clear the air, so to speak.

And I think we were fine with it. By then, we knew: He was different.”

In some ways, the diagnosis was good news: Ben’s treatments could now be more streamlined, and Ernie and Liezl had an answer when people asked if something was wrong with their son. Still, it was hard to face, especially when Ernie—the golf star who also plays tennis and soccer with Samantha—had to accept he couldn’t play sports with Ben.

The once-private Elses have grown accustomed to sharing their Jupiter home—and their story—to raise awareness and funds for autism. Palm Beachers, Ernie says, have embraced the family and the cause.

“They’ve really welcomed us into the community,” he says. “As foreigners living here, it’s just been a treat.” palmbeachillustrated.com | december 2015

81

Liezl believes hosting the tea party at her home has a stronger impact on guests. “They feel much more involved because you give them this glimpse into your life by bringing them into the house,” she says.

“You could say I felt a bit sorry for myself,” he chuckles softly. “I was going through a little bit of a traumatic stage—maybe you could call it that. Liezl was quite strong; she kept doing her thing. As a couple, we had to get together and walk in the same direction.”

They did with the help of friends Pam Minelli and Dick Busto, who introduced them to the Renaissance Learning Center, a charter school in West Palm Beach where their son, Andrew, who has autism, was a 82

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

student. After further research, Ernie and Liezl agreed it was the best place for then 6-year-old Ben and moved the family to Jupiter in 2008.

As they settled into their new home in The Bear’s Club, Ernie and Liezl felt compelled to do something big for the autism community.

In 2009, they formed the Els for Autism Foundation, a nonprofit with an ambitious goal conceived by Liezl: to expand Ben’s school into a proper educational and research center focused solely on autism, with an Internet platform so ideas and education could easily be shared.

“The idea was to grow this and to not just have it as a school but also as a facility that can reach the world so that you can create and accumulate best practices from around the world and spread it to people in all corners,” Liezl says. “By the Internet, you can do miracles—so that people don’t have to move in order to have access to proper education for their children.”

The project would come at a cost of $30 million. Ernie and Liezl contributed $6 million themselves; the rest would come from fundraisers.

They just needed a plan.

Liezl immediately caught on to the Palm Beach social season and decided to organize an event to stand out among the black-tie galas.

Her idea was to open up her home for an English tea party, with just one requirement: Every guest had to dress the part.

Each year, more than 200 women gather around the Els pool for Liezl’s Tea Party. “I think that’s more intimate,” Liezl says about organizing the party at the house. “You feel much more welcome when you go to somebody’s home. You feel a bit more special.”

“There was more moaning and questions and phone calls about that than anything else,” she laughs.

On a beautiful day in March 2009, more than 200 women in traditional British hats socialized in the Elses’ backyard at the first annual Liezl’s Tea Party. The South African hostess quickly learned Americans prefer iced tea over its hot counterpart, and so the event has evolved into more of a Champagne party. Each year, the luncheon takes on a different country as its theme—this year’s, to be held March 10, is Spain—while raising about $150,000 for Els for Autism. Tickets for the event now sell out in two weeks, despite the dress code.

“It’s now something that people look forward to, even though they still moan as much as they did the first year,” Liezl laughs.

Ernie has used his status as a golf phenom to raise money and awareness for the foundation on the course. Since 2009, he’s led the E4A ProAm, a charity golf tournament in which Ernie and other PGA Tour pros team with groups of three amateurs. The annual event raises more than 84 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

$700,000 in a single day. He also orchestrated the Els for Autism Golf Challenge, a season-long series of amateur regional golf events held throughout the United States and Canada, culminating in a grand finale in Las Vegas. Established in 2011, the event has generated $12 million since its inception.

All of this—years of charity golf tournaments, tea parties, and other fundraisers big and small—led to an unforgettable day for Ernie and Liezl this summer when the Els Center of Excellence welcomed 115 students August 17 for its first school year. Now in its first phase, the center consists of a Lower School for students aged 3-14, a 300-seat auditorium where professionals can network via lectures and video conferencing, and two playgrounds.

The unique needs of autistic students influenced every design decision. The school uses LED lighting to prevent sensory overload. Noise levels are kept low thanks to acoustic lining within the walls. Classrooms have cameras and observational rooms so parents and experts

Giving Back

can watch the students via oneway mirrors, a feature that also allows researchers to investigate and examine teaching methods.

“These kids have so many different mannerisms and so many different ways their minds work,” Liezl says. “They might all fall under the autism umbrella, but they’re so individual that it is important to be intuitive when you teach them and find the right ways for each individual child. That was something we advocated for and implemented in the school.”

There’s more to come: Next is an Upper School for students aged 14-22, which Liezl hopes to have open within a year. Eventually, the 26-acre campus will also house a cafeteria, a sensory garden, a medical and professional services building, and athletic facilities, including a gymnasium and a swimming pool. More fundraising is needed; the center receives about $21,000 in government funding per child, but Liezl estimates it takes $50,000 to $65,000 to properly instruct a student with autism.

Altogether, 300 students will attend the public charter school for free—and, the Elses hope, more beyond Palm Beach County. Their ultimate dream is for the center to be a template for similar schools around the world.

For now, Ernie and Liezl are still taking it all in.

“To have it there, to be able to see our own son in there, to see the happiness, to hear the happy stories … ” Liezl drifts off with a smile. “Of course there are challenges.

Every day is a challenge, but it’s moving in the right direction, and everything is improving by leaps and bounds.”

Ernie continues to bring his passion for golf to the autism community. He’s building a par-3 course at the Center of Excellence so the school can use golf as a lifeskills development tool. He also implemented a curriculum for PGA of America pros, as part of their training, to learn how to instruct individuals with autism, and he launched a program of golf clinics around the country for children and young adults on the spectrum.

These efforts and others caught the attention of PGA Tour officials, and in September the association named Ernie the recipient of the 2015 Payne Stewart Award, an annual recognition that honors a professional player who exemplifies character, charity, and sportsmanship.

While there is no doubt Ernie will always be known for his legacy in the world of golf, he feels he will also be remembered for his autism advocacy, a surprising twist in his life.

“I would never have thought I’d be sitting in the U.S. as a South African with an autistic son, a great daughter, doing the things we’re doing,” he says. “It’s amazing how life can change.

“I cannot imagine my life being different or having [my son] different,” he adds. “It’s just the way I see and love Ben. That’s the way I want him.” «

On December 11, Palm Beach will host a holiday shopping event benefitting Els for Autism.

Throughout the day, participating Worth Avenue retailers—including Alex and Ani, MacKenzie-Childs, J.McLaughlin, and Golfino—will donate 10 to 15 percent of proceeds to the foundation. Light bites and refreshments will also be served at select boutiques.

acqueline and Albert Togut could spend the holidays opening presents while overlooking Central Park in their apartment at New York City’s historic San Remo building. Or they could opt for a picturesque scene in front of a fire in their Greek Revival farmhouse in the Berkshires. Or perhaps an island-style Christmas at their new Palm Beach home. Decisions, decisions.

This year, sunshine trumped all. The Toguts love their Palm Beach sanctuary because it recalls places they’ve visited along the Mediterranean coast. It has a large, open living room and an abundance of coved ceilings, bleached woods, and French doors that open to a lush lawn and pool, creating a relaxed indooroutdoor atmosphere. The home is perfectly suited for a Christmas celebration with friends.

“We like the Palm Beach house so much because it reminds us of the South of France and Capri, places we love,” says Jacqueline, a former Ford model turned interior designer. “I love this time of year and like to cook and entertain in Palm Beach. I am reinventing my approach to Christmas with a tropical bent.”

Even Albert, a restructuring lawyer who spends most of his time with clients at his New York office, is smitten with the idea of a South Florida holiday tableau. “I have been visiting Palm Beach for more than 50 years, and we

have a wide circle of friends here,” he says. “The best thing about holiday entertaining is that we get our friends together and all have a great time. Our new home is perfect for us, and we want to share it.”

In addition to a love of Palm Beach, Jacqueline and Albert also embrace French and Italian cuisine and culture.

They decided to imbue their tropical surrounds with these lifestyle passions for a festive dinner party.

Jacqueline set the scene with a 12-foot-high Christmas tree dressed in turquoise, silver, and white ornaments. She adorned the fireplace with eclectic nutcrackers culled from international destinations such as France, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and Austria.

“I love nutcrackers and collect them in all sizes and varieties,” she says. “I studied ballet— it’s all so romantic. The nutcrackers make me smile.”

Jacqueline’s collection of nutcrackers graces the mantle in the living room (top). The kitchen banquette doubles as a buffet table (above).

Jacqueline and friend (and celebrity hairdresser) John Barrett mingle in the back garden.

Clockwise from below: hors d’oeuvres, including French goat cheese and paté and smoked salmon on cucumber slices; the main course, yellowtail acqua pazza; a decidedly tropical table setting with subtle holiday references.

Jacqueline greeted each guest with her special Christmas cocktail of Veuve Clicquot Champagne with a splash of pomegranate juice and fresh mint. Guests raised their glasses in a toast in front of the fireplace, and the clink of crystal set the tone for the evening.

“Jacqueline is so much fun as a hostess,” Caroline Koons Forrest of MP Design & Architecture Inc.—which helped design the Toguts’ home— remarked at the event. “The house is beautiful, comfortable, and suits her family.”

Food always plays a key role in the Toguts’ soirees. They take care to incorporate whatever is in season and use as many fresh ingredients as possible. Having dined all over the world, they enjoy sharing their favorite dishes and wines from their travels. Albert, in particular, delights in selecting the wine. He is an avid collector with a penchant for French vintages from the Loire Valley, Alsace, Bordeaux, and Burgundy.

“Once the food is set, the wine choices are mine,” Albert says. “I am in no way a slave to convention; I like to offer unusual wine pairings.”

After cocktails, Jacqueline led guests outdoors where the trees dripped with large bejeweled trinkets, strung by Jacqueline’s design assistant, Hayley Sheldon. Red orchids, white ginger, and magnolia leaves sat atop side tables scattered throughout the area. The dinner table overlooked the pool and was appointed with specialty orchids mixed with fern and magnolia leaves as well as Raynaud porcelain by Limoges, silver flatware by Reed & Barton, and Cristallerie Royale de Portieux antique crystal stemware from Maison Bleu.

Jacqueline got the conversation started as everyone sat down and prepared for an Italian meal catered by Marcello Fiorentino of La Sirena in West Palm Beach. “At the start of a meal like this—which is similar to what Al and I experience on the French or Italian Riviera—I like to get people talking about uncomfortable subjects,” she says. “I prefer not-sosafe conversation, like exchanging ideas on world issues and hearing other people’s views. People warn, ‘Never talk religion or politics.’ I say: Talk about both.”

Albert adds: “I strongly prefer dinner parties over cocktail parties because we have time for intimacy and real conversation. It is much more substantive and, I find, more satisfying.”

Fiorentino’s menu was as exciting and textured as the discussion. To

“I am reinventing my approach to Christmas with a tropical bent,” Jacqueline says. accompany the meal, he and Albert chose a 2002 Clos des Mouches white wine made by Joseph Drouhin Vineyards in Beaune, Burgundy.

The appetizers consisted of fresh buffalo milk mozzarella imported from Campania and served with vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil followed by insalata di mare composed of scallops, shrimp, calamari, sliced onions, and parsley in a lemon, garlic, and olive oil dressing.

Next, the group dined on ravioli caprese, filled with ricotta and other cheeses under a tomato-basil sauce, and yellowtail acqua pazza, a fresh Key West snapper poached in tomato, onion, garlic, parsley, capers, white wine, and olive oil.

In keeping with Mediterranean holiday traditions, dessert was a bûche de Noël, a classic French log cake iced with chocolate buttercream and decorated with meringue mushrooms. The rich confection was paired with 102 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

a 1989 Château Coutet from Barsac in the southern part of France’s Bordeaux region.

The meal came to a close with coffee, served in charming Christofle demitasse cups. Guests lingered by the poolside and left under the spell of the season, all thanks to the Toguts’ warm hospitality.

Sculptor and furniture designer Jane Manus says, “Albert is quiet and reserved; Jacqueline is bubbly, elegant, and stylish.

But they are both warm and friendly and work together perfectly. As party hosts, they greatly complement each other.”

“Jacqueline’s taste in entertaining is impeccable,” adds hair stylist and salon owner John Barrett. “I love the great wines and little surprises that accompany us as we leave. She flew in La Maison du Chocolat truffles from Paris. Creative touches like this make dining with this interesting couple and their friends a pure delight.”

The evening turned out to be a perfect representation of Jacqueline and Albert’s worldly tastes and relaxed approach to entertaining. By combining the best of European culture with Palm Beach’s tropical charm, the couple curated a Christmas scene to remember. «

Where the Art Is This month, the art universe will collide with the Magic City. The result: an art fair no collector can afford to miss. PBI guides you through the divine madness of Art Basel.

By Susie Stanton Staikos The contemporary art world shines a spotlight on Miami Beach this month when Art Basel returns for its fourteenth year. From December 2-6, thousands of visitors will enter the Miami Beach Convention Center to view works from 267 galleries representing 32 countries.

“Fairs have changed the way collectors look at and consume art,” says Glenn Scott-Wright, director of London’s Victoria Miro Gallery, 2014 Art Basel attendees view a work from Galleria Continua

York’s Armory Show, Horowitz admires Art Basel’s focus on and dedication to quality as well as the high-level audience it attracts.

“Art Basel is willing to think differently about how art fairs function in today’s global context and to continually evolve the fair,” Horowitz says, pointing out last year’s introduction of Survey, a sector dedicated to historical projects by respected artists who have been overlooked by the market.

LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN It all begins with two invitation-only opening days: a private viewing Dec. 2 and the Vernissage party preview on Dec. 3. The doors open to the general public at 3 p.m. on Dec. 3 and at noon on subsequent days.

Art Basel will showcase more than 200 galleries from near and far.

Among the first-time exhibitors to check out are Brussels’ Vedovi Gallery, known for its secondary market of post-war and contemporary European and American art, and Mazzoleni Art, based in London and Turin, which will display works from prominent twentieth-century international artists.

Also look for wider programs from regulars Andrew Edlin Gallery of New York, Kerlin Gallery of Dublin, and Mendes Wood DM of São Paulo. “Our booths are known for their beauty and being visually appealing,” says Sarah Gavlak, owner of Palm Beachbased Gavlak Gallery, which represents young and mid-career artists, particularly those whose work is more accessible. “I am not afraid of ‘pretty’ and ‘pleasure’ in art. In fact, I prefer it.”

Among the Galleries participants, 27 are selected for the Kabinett sector to present curated exhibitions within a designated space of their booths. These mini shows can highlight historical pieces, a group of artists under one theme, or an up-and-coming artist. Four Kabinetts worth catching: works by Michael CraigMartin—known for conceptual installations and colorful, contemporary paintings—from London’s Alan Cristea Gallery; the Parisian Galerie 1900-2000’s display of Appropriation works by Richard Pettibone, father of fashion designer Claire Pettibone; a collection of pieces by Dr. Lakra, a tattooist who creates art using found objects, from Mexico City’s Kurimanzutto; and pieces by Joseph Kosuth, known for conceptual displays and neon signs, on view by Italy’s Lia Rumma.

Survey

Art isn’t something to just look at; it’s also something to talk about. Art Basel offers two programs for visitors to hear from professionals across the industry. A series of Conversations takes place daily, allowing artists, curators, critics, and collectors to offer guidance on their respective fields. In a more informal setting, Salon consists of short presentations in the form of talks and performances from Art Insiders.

Artists to Watch

ABMB has become a hub for showcasing the work of emerging artists. Here, a few notables, some of whom will be showing at the fair—and in the United States—for the first time.

Gallery: SIM Galeria, Brazil Where: Positions Key work: Le Carnaval des Animaux (installation), above and left Why: Pocztaruk presents 18 aquariums, each consisting of two glass globes connected at the neck. On each aquarium, one globe contains a male betta fish, and the other a female. The tension created by separation creates a drawing in space brought about by the ensuing fish ballet. Pocztaruk proposes that when an animal and an object are dislocated from their original contexts and a “drawing” is created, the design introduces an artistic proposition.

Gallery: Arredondo\Arozarena, Mexico City Where: Positions Key work: Untitled (The disappearance of the symbol), below Why: Irízar uses the Phrygian cap, a significant image from Mexico’s history, to discuss the creation and disappearance of political symbols in the collective imagination.

The unraveling, and ultimate absence, of the object sets the debate on democracy and the political engine in motion behind the images and symbols that circulate through the repetition of history.

Keren Cytter Gallery: Noga Gallery of Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv Where: Nova Key Work: Siren (film), above and above left Why: In Siren, Cytter shows her method of narrating absurd stories mostly centered on the conflict between the genders, but this time zeroes in on the proliferation of poor images and their interpretation. By abstracting scenes and repeating them in different qualities and versions, Cytter proves images can have myriad meanings.

Andrew Brischler Gallery: Gavlak, Palm Beach, Los Angeles Where: Galleries Key work: Dreams (colored pencil, acrylic, graphite, and oil stick on panel), right Why: Brischler’s use of color, abstract forms, and symbolic words is indicative of his critical position on American pop culture and conservative politics, particularly as they relate to sexual orientation.

Her photographs, often centered on contorted images of her body, demonstrate a similar focal complication. The sculptures also allude to perceptional problems by presenting various perspectives that blur the continuum of vision.

“Fairs are great idea incubators and provide a critical overview of the market,” says New York art consultant Wendy Cromwell. She considers Art Basel Miami Beach one of the premier contemporary art fairs in the world, second only to the original Art Basel in Switzerland.

This year, Cromwell will be looking for a few key trends—and suggests collectors do the same. Latin American art tops her list, given a recent saturation of Cuban art on the market. Innovative uses of nontraditional materials are rising in popularity, she says, so search for ceramics

by Brie Ruais and Thea Djordjadze (at Sprüth Magers) as well as hybrid works that blur the line between painting and sculpture by such artists as Justin Adian (at Skarstedt Gallery). Artists and styles of yesteryear also are experiencing resurgences and will be in high demand at Art Basel, Cromwell predicts. Once-prominent movements are reverberating within contemporary works: The legacy of Pop Art is apparent in Mark Flood’s paintings, Sam Moyer’s abstract multimedia projects evoke the tenants of Minimalism, and Virginia Overton explores the boundaries of Earth Art. Finally, Cromwell urges Art Basel visitors to search for works by artists best known for pieces they created 30 years ago. “Artists of the ’80s whose careers are being reinvigorated due to superb new work—such

On December 3, the Society of the Four Arts will host an Art Basel trip led by art historian and contemporary art adviser Lacy Davisson Doyle. At this year’s festival, she expects to see a return to figuration (recognizable forms and subjects) and an explosion of creativity in ceramics. Doyle suggests dividing Art Basel into manageable bites, both in time and art. “Pace yourself. Frequent breaks at the cafes sprinkled throughout the fair help ease art overload,” she says. “Art Basel is divided into sectors such as Nova, where one, two, or three artists present work from the last three years (a great way to see up-and-coming artists’ works), and Positions, where a single artist presents one major project. You can select a focus that interests you and take in the fair through that lens.”

as David Salle, Julian Schnabel, Barbara Kruger, and George Condo—should be on the collector’s list,” she says.

When it comes to novice collectors, Cromwell suggests they look for work that speaks to them—and then evaluate why. “A new collector should ask questions about what they see on the stand and look at additional work,” she says, adding to “ask about price, compare and contrast things they like, and form their own opinions about what they love.”

Above all, collectors should learn from dealers but not feel pressured to buy until they’ve done their due diligence. “Follow up with the things that really stay with you, and keep an open mind,” she says.

SOUND ADVICE “Use the fair as an opportunity to meet new people and see everything,” SAYS Rita Krauss, a veteran New York art dealer now based in Palm Beach. “Go back a second time, and go early.” Krauss believes new collectors need a three-year learning curve to ease into the process, but they should be mindful of their price range and buy only pieces they love. “Buy with your eyes and your heart,” she says.

Miami Museums

While in Miami for Art Basel, consider visiting these museums for special exhibitions coinciding with the fair: The Pérez Art Museum Miami’s 200,000-square-foot facility offers sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and houses international contemporary art. This month, PAMM will display a number of shows, including “Nari Ward: Sun Splashed,” a mid-career retrospective of the Jamaican artist, and “Project Gallery: Sheela Gowda,” featuring a sitespecific installation. (305375-3000, pamm.org) The Bass Museum of Art is closed for renovations but will host bassx, a series of solo exhibitions, at the Miami Beach Regional Library.

Palm Beachers have the opportunity to attend Art Basel alongside curatorial leaders from the Norton Museum of Art. Both Cheryl Brutvan, the director of curatorial affairs and curator of contemporary art, and Tim Wride, the curator of photography, will lead groups of Norton Museum members on fair excursions. For those looking to return to Palm Beach with new pieces, Brutvan suggests checking out as many galleries as possible. “Go to new galleries rather than the ones you see regularly and take advantage of the whole sweep of art,” she says. Wride seconds that notion, adding: “All of the private collections are open, and they’re wonderful places to see a huge range of work.”

As part of its international draw, Art Basel has generated a number of related concurrent fairs taking place in the Miami area. The most prominent of these is Art Miami, a contemporary show now in its twenty-sixth year. Drawing more than 80,000 visitors, this year’s fair will take place December 1-6 at the Wynwood Art District.

The show also has two sister fairs, both of which display the work of up-andcoming and established artists: CONTEXT, also held in Wynwood, and Aqua Art Miami, taking place at Miami Beach’s Aqua Hotel. (305-517-7977, artmiamifair.com)

Put those diets on hold: The ninth annual Palm Beach Food and Wine Festival returns December 10-13, and the lineup of talent is more impressive than ever. This year, chefs Daniel Boulud, Christina Tosi, Johnny Iuzzini, and other New York luminaries will team up with local favorites, including Clay Conley, Lindsay Autry, and Aaron Black, for a new round of not-to-be-missed epicurean events, such as the grand tasting and cooking competition, a New York vs. Palm Beach street food smackdown, and a pair of children’s cooking classes taught by chefs Jonathon Sawyer and Robert Irvine. Prior to the festival, PBI caught up with Irvine to discuss his take on today’s culinary landscape. (561-389-1222, pbfoodwinefest.com) —Mark Spivak

Favorite food trend: I am excited about the growing interest and awareness in the source and nutritional value of what we consume. This is very positive, and I hope it sticks.

Toughest challenge: The dinner I prepared for the entire staff at the Quebec Ice Hotel in subfreezing temperatures during Dinner: Impossible [his Food Network show]. It was the closest to actually being impossible that I can recall.

Most satisfying professional moment: I do a lot of work in support of our military personnel and their families, and every moment I have to commit to those folks is beyond satisfying.

Loves to cook for: My wife, Gail, and my girls.

I’d rather cook a family meal for us to sit down and enjoy together than for anyone in the world.

Would like to eat a meal by: Either Michel Richard or Roberto Donna. They’re both culinary geniuses, and everything they prepare is done to perfection.

Go-to kitchen staple: I’m a big fan of grape-seed oil and use it in virtually all my cooking. It has omega-3 fatty acids, a higher smoke point, and no flavor, so it works well as a universal ingredient.

120 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Favorite cookbook or reference work: My book, Fit Fuel: A Chef’s Guide to Eating Well and Living Your Best Life. The entire guide is based on the lifestyle I live now; it has kept me healthy and strong.

Connection between physical fitness and food: For me, the two live in harmony. I travel with a blender and I get in a complete workout in my hotel room or opt for the stairs, when available. We all can find ways to replace ease and convenience with a welcome challenge if we are motivated to do so.

The festival gives South Florida foodies the chance to mingle with acclaimed chefs.

Family STYLE

Grato’s menu highlights rustic Italian cuisine using fresh, handmade ingredients.

When chefs decide to show their appreciation toward a community, it frequently produces some delicious results. This month, chef Clay Conley of Buccan and Imoto, along with partners Sam Slattery and Piper Quinn, opens Grato (meaning “grateful” in Italian and other languages) at 1901 S. Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. The restaurant seats 150 diners in a casual, rustic atmosphere, and the menu complements the space—think brickoven pizza, rotisserie meats, sausage and peppers, and lots of fresh pastas made on-site (bucatini carbonara, orecchiette with rabbit sausage and broccoli rabe, and penne with braised lamb, to name a few). The food is dispensed from an open kitchen, and Conley is even working on his first children’s menu. “We wanted a place that was reasonably priced and approachable and also fun and exciting—an atmosphere where entire families would feel comfortable,” says Conley. While the menu may be filled with regional Italian specialties, the atmosphere bears traces of the elegant and familiar Buccan style: large open windows, natural woods, and Carrara marble form the backdrop for gracious Old World service. To complete the look, local artisan potter Ronald Shaw handcrafted the custom tableware. Grato is open for dinner and will eventually expand with lunch and Sunday brunch.

The only thing better than eating gingerbread during the holidays is consuming it in liquid form. The Spicy Gingerbread cocktail at 50 Ocean in Delray Beach will satisfy those cravings with a blend of vanilla vodka, Frangelico, butterscotch schnapps, and ginger beer.

“It’s a simple, festive drink,” says beverage manager Millie Wilkinson. “The ingredients are well-balanced and you can taste the vanilla and ginger.” One of the inspirations behind the drink is the growing popularity of ginger beer.

“We wanted to do something that went beyond the standard Moscow Mule or Dark ’n Stormy,” she says. “It’s light and refreshing but you can make it even lighter by adding more ginger beer.”

Part of the joy of the holiday season is entertaining groups of family or friends, but those get-togethers can also be challenging—particularly for the amateur bartender. Each of your guests is likely to have his or her own drink preferences, and making cocktails individually for 15 or 20 people could take up the bulk of your evening. Here are some tips from the experts on how to navigate your way through holiday entertaining.

Develop a seasonal strategy. “Dark spirits really come into play when the weather cools off,” says David Bouchard, principal bartender for The Cooper in Palm Beach Gardens. “Think in terms of bourbon, rye, and aged rums. Most people lean toward savory modifiers: vanilla and maple syrup; spices such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger; winter citrus, such as Meyer lemon and blood and bitter oranges.”

Use materials at hand. One of Bouchard’s most successful creations came about by accident while working at a restaurant in Connecticut. “We had some Knob Creek Maple Rye left over from a bourbon and cigar dinner,” he recalls. “I took an ounce of that with half an ounce of maple syrup and three-quarters of an ounce of lemon juice, layered the ingredients into a highball glass, and topped it with three ounces of Stella Artois Cidre and a dash of Angostura bitters. It’s a warm and comfortable drink that brings back childhood holiday memories.”

Still making history.

This eggnog libation, garnished with a festive Christmas biscuit, puts a haute spin on Washington’s recipe.

Think punch. There’s a good reason why punch has been popular since the seventeenth century, when employees of the British East India Company brought it back to England from India. The libation is easy to prepare, allows guests to help themselves, and guarantees a stressfree evening for the host. Making punch—traditionally a blend of alcohol, sugar, lemon, water, and spices—is far from rocket science. When in doubt, fall back on the old rule: “One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, and four of weak.”

Charles Steadman, managing partner of Jack’s Grumpy Grouper in Lantana, has a go-to rum punch that stands out as a holiday favorite.

“Sugar-based spirits are incredibly versatile,” he says, “and rum can pair very well with a range of winter flavors.” He recommends lining the rim of a punch bowl with clove-flavored sugar, then pouring in a whole bottle of dark or amber rum such as Brugal Añejo or Mount Gay Eclipse.

He then adds fresh-pressed lime juice for the sour base, pineapple and orange juice for a touch of sweetness, coconut water to round out the taste, and grenadine for color. Top it off with a festive garnish such as mint springs, cranberries, or orange peel studded with cloves.

Eggnog adaptation. Eggnog is one of the few parts of the Christmas ritual designed for adults. It migrated here from England and has been with us since the Colonial era. Every year, I dust off what was supposedly George Washington’s recipe: Mix one quart each of cream and milk, one cup of sugar, one pint of brandy, a half pint of rye whiskey, and a quarter-pint each of dark rum and Sherry. Separate one dozen eggs, and add sugar to the beaten yolks. Add the liquor mixture while beating slowly, and then add the milk and cream. Beat the egg whites until stiff, and fold them in. Store in the refrigerator for seven days, and don’t plan on driving anywhere after you try it. «

In and Out KZ Architecture struck a balance between indoor and outdoor living for

this modern estate in Boca Raton. A gable roof tops the home’s main interior space, while four shed roofs form pavilions that add intrigue to the Robin Hill Photography

architecture and create generous overhangs for the outdoor areas. The roof structure is complemented by natural coral keystone walls and wood ceilings and decks. Along with the minimalist exterior, an open interior plan and glass walls allow for an organic transition to the landscape and nearby golf course. Miami (305-865-9911, kzarchitecture.com)

3-D Squared, Boca Raton (561843-4966, 3dsquared.com)

Disc Jockey With the Kaleidescape Disk Server ($4,995), the nightmare of DVD and Blu-ray organization becomes obsolete. It stores as many as 320 discs and supports automated access and playback to any movie player in the Encore collection, Kaleidescape’s new line of award-winning hometheater equipment. Boca Theater and Automation, Boca Raton (561-999-9024, bocatheater.com)

Animal Instincts For this South Florida luxury home theater, First Impressions Theme Theatres founder Jeff Smith was tasked with designing around a sample of animal-print carpeting. “The client wanted something fun and informal with a sophisticated theme that harkened back to the glamorous, old-style, traditional movie houses,” Smith says. “While the theater was originally builder planned as one large open space, we carved out an 8-foot-by-10-foot vestibule in the entryway [for] our signature CineBar as a precursor to what lies beyond. The archway swag in gold-toned French velvet drapery provides a teaser into the Moroccan-inspired theater, where tawny animal print tones and rich, textural fabrics imbue a comfortable yet sumptuous appeal.” North Miami (305-891-6121, cineloungers.com)

Parties

Sipping Pretty Does your cocktail affair have the makings of a blockbuster soiree or is it destined to be just another stop on the seasonal party circuit? These four tips will up your party game and have guests lingering even after the credits have rolled.

By Liza Grant Smith

Play with your food

Forgo online invites and standard envelope scrawl for a modern twist on a timeless tradition. Work with a talented calligrapher, such as Palm Beach County professional Erica Dunhill, to pair dynamic colored envelopes with eye-catching addresses in fun fonts. Guests will be wowed from the moment they open their mailbox. (ericadunhill.com)

Involve your guests Allow your guests to mix lively libations with a buildyour-own gin and tonic bar. Master mixologist Adam Seger of Boca Raton hotspot Tanzy (tanzy restaurant.com) says the key to this classic cocktail is in the selection of its components. When it comes to the drink’s core ingredients, he suggests:

CAPEHART

Make a great first impression

Surprise guests with unexpected bites that conjure up feelings of culinary nostalgia and comfort-food bliss. West Palm Beach Caterer Christafaro’s prepares a menu peppered with delightful reinterpretations of classics like the crispy Reuben strudel (pictured) and mini chicken potpies with a sweet potato biscuit topper. (561-835-0066, christafaroswpb.com)

Glassware: Use tall, slender glasses to keep drinks fizzy. We’re partial to Michael Wainwright's Truro gold highballs ($50), hand-decorated in 24-karat gold and platinum. T is for Table, Palm Beach Gardens (561-7999733, tisfortable.com) Garnish: Offer savory embellishments— sprigs of rosemary, slices of cucumber, a pitcher of pomegranate juice, for example—so guests can add a final pop to their cocktails.

Get personal

Breathe life into your shindig with personalized accents that reflect your style, favorite colors, or personality. These lively yet upscale They Drink Like Fish hand-embroidered linen cocktail napkins ($400 for set of eight) by Julia B. can be customized with your name in the shape of water dwellers. Mary Mahoney, Palm Beach (561-655-8288, marymahoney.com) 138 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Tonic: Indulge in the Champagne of tonic waters with East Imperial tonic water.

Gin: Try a new American-style gin (more citrus and less piney juniper) like St. George Terroir Gin.

Ice: Make sure the ice is hard, fresh, dry, and not glazed over to the point where it will make your drinks watery.

Limes: “You need heavy, dark green limes, free of blemishes, as you will [add] their juice and skin into your tonics,” Seger says.

Cut them off-center to avoid using the center pith.

Rob Thomson Founds Waterfront Way Foundation

For a Better Way . . .

Waterfront Properties’ Team - Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

by Gregory T. DuBose

“There must be a better way.”

We’ve all said it. The pressing question is what have we done to make a better way for the under resourced, the sick and the most vulnerable members of our community?

Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ Managing Partner Rob Thomson asked himself this very question.

His own honest answer surprised him: “Not enough.”

Thomson recently founded Waterfront Way Foundation to do more. Waterfront Way Foundation brings Thomson’s personal and corporate – Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ and Waterfront Yacht Brokerage’s philanthropic and charitable efforts under one umbrella.

“The foundation gives me a team of great people to help do the heavy lifting. These same people will play a major role in identifying the causes and individuals we support. I’m as excited about this as any career milestone in a long time.”

- Rob Thomson Thomson has long held a philosophy of good corporate citizenry. At its height, his Charities for Children Foundation was purchasing, soliciting and personally delivering over 30,000 toys during the holiday season. As a waterman, fishing tournaments have always held a place in

his charitable efforts. A board member, host partner and long-time supporter of Mike Schmidt’s Winner’s Circle Charities Invitational, he remains a force in the fishing tournament’s growth over the years. Waterfront Properties has been a Founders’ Club member of the Bluewater Babes Fish for a Cure since the event’s founding in 2009. The companies’ agents and their families are long-time participants in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events in Palm Beach and Martin Counties.

Waterfront Way Foundation is the first step in a sustainable philanthropic strategy.

Mike Viola , Rob Thomson and Scott Henley Winner’s Circle Board Members

Winner’s Circle Charities Event

“If all people say after I’m gone

is, ‘he was a part of building a great business,’ then I’ve left no legacy at all.”

- Rob Thomson Thomson says, “I’m doing this now, while I’m young enough to devote real energy to driving it. This foundation ensures the Waterfront Family of Companies and my family continue to be part of the good happening in our community for decades and, hopefully, generations to come.”

Waterfront Properties’ Charity Ride Team

Through Waterfront Way Foundation, Thomson will continue to support the causes he has supported for years. The Foundation will also host at least two original events next year. “I’ve become passionate about clay shooting. One of the events we’ll host is the inaugural 2016 Waterfront Way Charity Clay Shoot Invitational. Knowing my fellow shooters, I have no doubt we’ll raise a significant amount of money in an event that participants will really enjoy.”

Waterfront Way Foundation gives Thomson a means to effectively support the charitable works of his nearly 100-strong team of agents. “Some of these folks have been with me for years.

Their work has brought them the type of success that they can and do play a significant role in our local charities.”

He continued, “For our newer agents, their contributions often come down to sweat equity positions in the charities they support. Whatever they do, the Foundation makes it much more efficient to support them.”

commented, ‘It’s the Waterfront Way.’” Waterfront Way Foundation’s core purpose is to help increasingly more people in our community experience and enjoy life in a better way.

Starting his foundation was the logical next step for Rob Thomson’s philanthropic efforts. The name is its own interesting, albeit short, story.

“We were talking about how much we enjoy the work we do for charity. Someone Promotion

No Christmas celebration is complete without mistletoe. A semiparasitic plant that grows on a variety of trees, mistletoe is known as a symbol of fertility and vitality. Its history can be traced back to both Norse mythology and the Celtic Druids. By the eighteenth century, it was a common fixture in Christmas decor, with English servants helping to establish its kissing connotation. Mistletoe, however, is more than merry— it is also prized for its health benefits. Ancient Greeks and Romans used mistletoe extract to cure a number of ailments and as a balm for ulcers and poisons. Today, researchers are examining it as a possible alternative therapy for cancer.

As noted by the National Cancer Institute, laboratory studies suggest mistletoe may support the immune system by increasing the number and activity of white blood cells. Animal studies also indicate it may decrease the harsh effects of treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. Mistletoe derivative drugs are used in many European countries, although the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve mistletoe extract as a cancer treatment in the United States.

Channel your inner child with these fitness tools that are fun and effective.

The Jump Rope Boxers know incorporating jump rope into a workout routine allows them to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. There are two types of fitness jump ropes: speed and weighted. While both can improve agility and endurance, speed ropes are lightweight and therefore better for coordination and conditioning, while weighted ropes are good for burning tons of calories and increasing strength. Nike’s Weighted Rope 2.0 ($20) has weights in both the rope and handles, and its Speed Rope 2.0 ($15) is adjustable and perfect for endless reps.

Sports Authority locations (800-360-8721, sportsauthority.com)

The Hula Hoop According to the Mayo Clinic, hula hooping provides similar aerobic benefits as dancing, with the average female adult burning around 165 calories for every half an hour of hooping. While a small, light hoop requires more energy to keep going, a weighted hoop is a great toning tool. Empower’s Cardio Core and More fitness package ($39.99) comes with a customizable weighted hoop, a 45-minute DVD, and a fitness guide to help you get in the groove. Kohl’s locations (855-564-5705, kohls.com) The Trampoline Few kids’ toys are as fun and physical as the trampoline. Mini trampolines, or rebounders, are common fitness fixtures, offering a solid aerobic exercise that strengthens legs, targets the core, and bolsters better balance and coordination. The Mini Trampoline Workout System ($59.99) from Gaiam includes a small trampoline—ideal for at-home workouts—and a workout video led by personal trainer Jonathan Roche.

Festive Desserts

The holiday season is a time to indulge, even for those on a raw-food diet. While raw desserts boast some benefits over traditional desserts (they don’t contain refined sugar and tend to be lower on the glycemic index), they are still a calorie splurge. “Raw desserts still have to be viewed as dessert,” cautions Randie Dalia, owner of RD Raw Foodie in Palm Beach Gardens. “Many of them are still high-calorie, but they’re made with the whole food. In general, if you’re going to eat a regular slice of cake, you would eat the same portion of a raw dessert.” In addition to many raw savory items—like cashew cheese, corn tortillas, and kelp-noodle pesto—Dalia also specializes in raw desserts.

Her chocolate-chip cookies can be ordered in bulk and make a great raw treat for Santa and his helpers, but her go-to dessert for holiday parties is a raw vegan caramel slice (left). “The host or hostess can make a large quantity in one preparation in a 13-by-9-inch pan—and it has a wow factor,” she says.

Shatter the

Better with Age Palm Beach Gardens resident Valerie Ramsey has lived many lives in her 76 years. In her 20s and 30s, she was a stay-at-home mom raising six kids. In her 50s, she jumped into a career in public relations and marketing at the Pebble Beach Resorts in California. And in her 60s, she began modeling. Through it all, Ramsey has looked forward to what’s next, and now, with two published books, she’s encouraging others to do the same.

“The key to aging gracefully is being excited about life, about having something to look forward to, about feeling that you are contributing in some way—or in several ways,” Ramsey says.

Her latest tome, Creating What’s Next: Gracefully (PathBinder Publishing, $22.95), explores factors that affect aging (including nutrition, fitness, sleep, stress, and sexuality) and shares her reflections on the questions many people ask as they approach the latter parts of their lives. Below, she reveals five tips for aging gracefully. (valerieramsey.com)

1

Have a curious mind and be inquisitive. Aging gracefully has as much to do with spirit and intellect as it does with physicality.

2

Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats, which can

be found in such foods as salmon, flaxseed, and walnuts.

3

Follow a plan to maintain healthy skin. Exfoliate two to three times a week to slough off dead skin cells and keep your complexion glowing.

4

Start meditating and eliminate negative thought patterns to reduce stress.

5

Keep on moving forward with life. Find your “What’s next?” and do whatever it takes to pursue it.

Investing Overseas Looking to buy a second home in a foreign land? Arm yourself with more than just a colorful brochure.

By Judy Martel

W

hether they long for the hills of Tuscany or the beaches of Panama, many American investors who dream of buying a second home abroad wonder if the combination of a strong U.S. dollar, a volatile stock market, and weak foreign economies are sounding the wake-up call to buy.

Kathleen Peddicord, author of How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad (Plume), believes investors are looking at a window of opportunity. “I’d say it’s the best time in our lifetimes to be buying property in many very appealing places,” says Peddicord, who founded of the website Live and Invest Overseas (liveandinvestoverseas.com), and has called three foreign countries home during her 17 years abroad.

But investing in foreign real estate is not without its hassles and costs. Be sure to understand not only the vagaries of a different culture but also the political and economic situation and all fees and taxes associated with buying and living abroad.

Otherwise, homeowners could end up with a serious case of cross-cultural buyer’s remorse.

168 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The Allure of Investing Abroad Peddicord believes buying property abroad offers investors not only a tangible asset they can use and enjoy but also portfolio diversification—a valuable advantage in today’s wobbly economic market.

“There are lots of problems and uncertainties in the world,” she says. “How can you protect yourself against any of it? The only way is to be diversified so that you’re not at the mercy of any one country, any one economy, any one currency, or any one political administration.”

The return on investment for foreign property has been positive this past year, Peddicord adds, especially for rental properties, which are plentiful in many areas. Buy right, she says, and homeowners can expect a net return in the range of 5 percent to 8 percent before taxes—and even more in areas where real estate is appreciating.

A House for the Ages While foreign currency rates can work for or against property owners at any time, Peddicord says, they won’t hurt in the long run if buyers avoid regions with chronically unstable or volatile economies, such as Argentina.

Wealth In relatively stable regions, she suggests buyers target high-end areas and homes with character. “Something historic and charming will hold its value when cookie-cutter inventory doesn’t,” she says.

For a long-term return on investment, buyers should also stick to markets that don’t cater specifically to foreigners seeking investment rental property, she adds. Spain’s coast, for example, has seen a real estate boom and bust dependent on tourism. “Buying into a location that is 100 percent supported by foreign demand means you could have a hard time selling if that foreign demand disappears,” she points out.

The Cost of Paradise U.S. buyers venturing into the overseas real-estate market discover not only the language and the culture are foreign; fees and expenses are different, too.

One of the biggest surprises for U.S. buyers is the transfer tax, which ranges from 1 percent to 10 percent of the purchase price, Peddicord says. Most countries charge the tax, and typically the buyer pays it.

“On the plus side,” Peddicord adds, “property taxes in most countries are less than you might expect and usually less than you’re used to, wherever you’re living in the States. Some countries have no property tax, including Croatia.”

In some regions, such as Latin America, nonresident foreigners generally cannot obtain a mortgage. While it is possible in Europe, Peddicord says,

terms of the mortgage will not be the same as with a U.S. loan. For instance, 30-year mortgages don’t exist outside the United States.

In addition, bureaucratic red tape could add costs or delays to plans for buying or renovating, so buyers should use their own attorney to help with the purchase process, Peddicord advises, rather than one hired by the seller or developer.

Follow Your Passion While using their brain to invest in an overseas home is a smart financial move, buyers shouldn’t ignore their heart, especially if they plan to live there, Peddicord says.

“I recommend that people not make a move to run away or to escape from something but to embrace new opportunities,” she says. “The idea of launching a new life in a new country … of starting over someplace sunny and exotic with white-sand beaches or Old World culture—that’s sexy.”

Brian’s Song In the 1960s, musician and songwriter Brian Wilson cofounded The Beach Boys and went on to write most of the band’s greatest songs, including “I Get Around” and “Fun, Fun, Fun.” After personal recoveries from drug and alcohol abuse and mental illness, in 1988 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2007 he was honored with the Kennedy Center Honor, the highest American performing arts accolade. The legendary singer—who will perform at the Sunrise Theatre for the Performing Arts in Fort Pierce on December 6 with fellow former Beach Boy Al Jardine—caught up with PBI about his latest projects and passions. (772-461-4775, sunrisetheatre.com) —K.S. What fans can expect from his Fort Pierce show: We’re going to do some Beach Boys classics and some things off my new album. I hope they like us.

His greatest professional achievement: Writing “God Only Knows” Where he heads for inspiration: My piano Favorite Beach Boy memory: Recording “Good Vibrations” His latest project: I’m currently working on a new song.

No lyrics yet.

How he spends his time off stage: At a park doing exercise. I like to walk.

His greatest indulgence: Eating veggie burgers His advice for rising musicians: Don’t write half a song, write a whole song.

What he hopes audiences gain from seeing his 2014 biopic, Love & Mercy: It was important that people could see my life and how it really was. I hope they can identify if they’re going through something rough.

How he’s helping those living with mental illness: I’m working with the folks at Give an Hour. Know the five signs and learn more at giveanhour.org.

Three words that sum him up: Very nice person The best part of being Brian Wilson: My singing.

Hahaha … of all things.

Sam Edelman Sam Edelman is no stranger to footwear. After cofounding Kenneth Cole and launching Esprit’s shoe division, he established Sam & Libby, a line beloved for its ballerina flats. In 2001, while recuperating from a horseback-riding accident that left one of his legs badly broken, he hatched an extraordinary idea: Design luxury shoes for a moderate price. He found himself back in the sartorial saddle when he unveiled his eponymous shoe collection in 2004. Today, the Sam Edelman brand has grown to include apparel and handbags and will arrive at The Gardens Mall in early February. When not designing, Sam and his wife, Libby, train show-jumping horses at their Wellington estate and farm.
