TWO LEADING ORGANIZ ATIONS COME TOGETHER FOR BETTER CANCER CARE

Lynn Cancer Institute and Miami Cancer Institute make a powerful team When it comes to cancer, treatment delays can lead to less favorable outcomes, and even a greater chance of death from certain cancers.

The ability to expedite care — even for the most complex cases — is one of the strengths of Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute.

Lynn Cancer Institute and Miami Cancer Institute are integrating their programs as the key element of the further expansion of Baptist Health South Florida’s cancer care services. Together, they make a powerful team, offering patients personalized treatment options with a multidisciplinary approach based on physicians’ clinical expertise, advanced technology and innovative clinical trials.

“Our programs are really the anchors of cancer care from the Keys to Palm Beach,” says Louise Morrell, M.D., medical director of Lynn Cancer Institute. “Our common goal is to ensure that every patient with cancer, or at high risk, has access to the very best care available. Integration means widening our circle of expertise and having support as we expand.”

Spread.indd 1

Lynn Cancer Institute is already the largest provider of cancer care in Palm Beach County and one of the largest in Florida. Miami Cancer Institute is Baptist Health’s cancer care anchor, offering a full array of services, and is Florida’s only member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Alliance, an alliance encompassing collaboration in clinical trials and standards of care.

Both institutes feature personalized care driven by the latest molecular testing and state-of-the-art technology, while offering an unsurpassed patient experience. Patients and their families are supported by genetic counseling, a full range of psychosocial services that include dietitians, social workers, exercise physiologists, psychologists and psychiatrists, palliative and pastoral care, and wellness and survivorship programs.

For those in Palm Beach County who need specialized services available only at Miami Cancer Institute, an expedited referral process and regular communications best serve the patients’ needs. Some of those services include stem cell transplantation,

2/3/21 8:40 AM

CAR T-cell therapy and highly targeted radiation therapy in the form of sophisticated proton therapy and the MR-Linac, another new form of highly precise and targeted radiation therapy.

Another advantage of integration is establishing joint standards of care that physicians agree will result in the best patient outcomes. “The staff at Lynn Cancer Institute has put considerable effort into this work, and by combining the insights, knowledge and skills we have at both facilities, we are able to define the best evidence-based standards of care,” says Leonard Kalman, M.D., deputy medical director and chief medical officer at Miami Cancer Institute.

The facilities continue their collaboration in combined cancer conferences where input from multiple physicians in pertinent specialties leads to optimal personalized treatment plans. And Lynn Cancer Institute and Miami Cancer Institute share the philosophy that multidisciplinary clinics that allow the patient to see multiple specialists in their disease (surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists) in one visit affords the greatest convenience to patients needing the input of multiple specialties. “When possible, we will digitally connect family members who are not in the room so that the patient’s support system is also kept informed,” says Maureen Mann, assistant vice president of Lynn Cancer Institute.

Spread.indd 2

The integration of Lynn Cancer Institute and Miami Cancer Institute will also allow for greater support of the planned expansion of Lynn Cancer Institute, including new technology and the addition of cancer services at Bethesda Health City, an outpatient facility located between Baptist Health’s Bethesda Hospital East and Bethesda Hospital West. A larger, integrated program with a concomitant increase in the number of new cancer patients also makes Baptist Health’s cancer care services a more attractive clinical research partner to the pharmaceutical and device industries.

Integration has also helped each institution deal more effectively with the COVID-19 pandemic. During a combined weekly Command Center meeting, the teams discuss the pandemic’s ever-changing implication for cancer patients. “We ensured we had a common approach and standard safety procedures,” says Dr. Morrell. “Being part of a larger healthcare system enabled us to have enough personal protective equipment for staff and patients and guaranteed the medications we needed would be available.”

Cancer does not stop for COVID-19, and for that reason, Lynn Cancer Institute and Miami Cancer Institute would like to remind you to stay up to date with your cancer screenings.

March #Goals

COURTESY PISTACHE

If there’s one thing the past year has brought into sharp relief, it’s how much first responders put on the line every day for our safety and security. They’re a comfort and quite literally a lifeline, especially in times like these.

It’s no secret that fire-rescue professionals are mostly men, due largely to the grueling, physical nature of the work. But I’m a firm believer in women’s ability to do anything, so when I heard about Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue’s female firefighters/EMTs, I thought it was double cause for celebration: a thanks to the individuals who keep us all safe, and a tip of the hat to the ceiling breakers who smash traditional roles and set precedents for all women.

On our gatefold cover this month are five of these role models, in a clever juxtaposition by rock-star photographer Joriann Maye-Keegan that shows their two sides: beautiful, feminine, and—why not?—glamorous; but also tough, confident, and capable of carrying you out of a building if the occasion called for it. It’s one of the best covers we’ve ever done, and not just because of the powerful imagery. It’s because no one deserves it more. Get to know the women of the #sheshift in senior editor Kristen Desmond LeFevre’s brilliantly crafted story, “Catching Fire,” on page 92.

I’d also like to draw your attention to two new lifestyle columns I believe you’ll enjoy. The first is “Living with Ivey” by nutrition expert and wellness influencer Ivey Leidy. I’ve followed Ivey on Instagram for a couple of years now, and I’ve been impressed not only by the depth of her expertise, but also by her no-nonsense, relatable style. She makes healthy cooking and fitness look like a snap (those wine-bottle bicep curls, though!) while serving up mad knowledge on things like gut health and medicinal herbs. This month, she talks sugar—why and how to ditch it—and offers up a recipe for stewed apples and n’ice cream with no sweetener whatsoever. (Trust me. You need this in your life.) Turn to page 62 for Ivey’s debut in our pages.

The second is “SIP with PBI” with mixologist Jules Aron. Those of you who have followed our popular Instagram series by the same name (Fridays at 5 p.m., for the uninitiated) have probably come to appreciate Jules’ mindful concoctions—she loves to blend superfoods and house-crafted syrups into her libations—and her easy repartee with local bartenders. In her column for us, she shares recipes for creative cocktails you likely haven’t seen on any bar menu. Why not mix up a batch this weekend and impress your friends? Turn to page 147 to learn how.

Cheers to a healthy, joy-filled March.

Plan the picture-perfect beach day with Bliss Beach’s on-demand luxury vignettes curated for the occasion, be it a picnic, private event, photoshoot, or simple lounging. With established markets in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego, the company recently made its first eastward expansion. It offers setups at Brazilian Avenue and South Ocean Boulevard on Palm Beach, although custom locations are also available upon request.

“We’ve been eager to launch in Florida given the number of sunny days and beautiful beaches there are for us to grow into,” says founder Brian Jones. “We decided to start in Palm Beach because of the design-loving, tight-knit beach community.”

A Little Lounge (for two to four) comes with hardwood chairs, an area rug, an umbrella, and a Bose Bluetooth speaker.

Think of the Safari Room (for six to 10) as your own intimate living room on the sand, complete with a shade canopy, sling chairs, and

INSIDER BESPOKE

TIP of the HAT

This past winter, milliner Teressa Foglia visited Palm Beach for the first time and fell in love. On the lawn outside The Colony Hotel, she took private appointments during a mad-hatterthemed trunk show for her eponymous brand.

Alongside her partner, Tyler Hays Wild, Foglia has made her mark with custom-tailored hats.

She now counts celebrities such as Cindy Crawford and Gerard Butler among her clientele.

To purchase one of Foglia’s hats, which are made to last a lifetime and cost between $75 to $1,500, is to acquire a piece of wearable art.

Think palm trees that have been burnt and embroidered into fedoras or oversized sun hats with floral chin straps in soft pink and yellow prints.

It all started with a hat-making course Foglia signed up for while she was living in Europe five years ago. “I stayed at this beautiful French woman’s home,” she recalls. “She would practice her English with me, and I would practice my French with her, and I would just wake up and go to

Teressa Foglia and Tyler Hays Wild

class every day and learn how to make hats that I liked to personally wear.”

As both friends and strangers begged to buy these bespoke hats right off her head, Foglia decided to open a studio/storefront in New York City as well as a shop in Malibu. She has plans to expand to Palm Beach in the near future. “We are super excited to be exploring the opportunity for opening a custom hat shop in Palm Beach,” Foglia says. Until then, a limited number of hats from the Teressa Foglia spring collection are available at LoveShackFancy in The Royal Poinciana Plaza. (teressafoglia.com) —Alyssa Morlacci Kim Ng, general manager of the Miami Marlins

Q&A

HISTORY MAKER Kim Ng, the first woman tapped to run a major men’s sports club in North America, is more than ready to begin her new job as general manager of the Miami Marlins, a Major League Baseball team that spring trains at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter. PBI recently caught up with Ng to discuss the road that led her here. (mlb.com/marlins) —Linda Marx 58

PBI: Did you grow up loving sports?

Ng: Always. I was the kid who was perpetually dirty with scabs on my knees from either playing some kind of sport or having some type of competition (with others or myself). Even if there was no one around, I would throw a ball against the stoop or play handball against the chimney—trying to perfect my shots—I was that kid. Even as an adult, it's hard for me to walk into a room that has a ball and not pick it up and start playing with it.

You have 30 years’ experience as a baseball executive and have previously worked in the MLB central office.

How did that time help you to better understand how teams operate?

When clubs call the central office, they are generally seeking help. Through those conversations and observing their decision-making process, I was able to gain a broad understanding of some of their inner workings and how the club/personnel think and operate, which served as a great learning opportunity.

What gave you the confidence to keep looking for a GM job after not landing any over the years?

I'm not sure it was about confidence as much as it was about persistence. The only thing I did know was that I wouldn't get the job if I didn't try. Ultimately, what choice do you have except to forge ahead?

The Return of RETAIL

HAUTE commercial centers are leading the charge in new openings

By Skye Sherman

Clockwise from above: Necklace available at Yafa Signed Jewels; Rosemary Square; Faherty; exterior of Solid & Striped; shoes at Mint & Rose; the Wishing Tree and Water Pavilion at Rosemary Square.

COURTESY OF RELATED COMPANIES

The pandemic unleashed a cutthroat culling of many brick-and-mortar stores, but it could not stymie consumers’ love of in-person shopping.

Local openings prove that retail is not dead but evolving; the closure of many stores left room for fresh faces doing things differently. Ever a shopper’s paradise, Palm Beach has welcomed a slew of new retail amid the ongoing turbulence of the times. Best of all, each destination presents a year-round alfresco experience.

Rosemary Square—which has recently undergone a massive revitalization—boasts an unparalleled hunger for retail to accompany its inrush of new eateries. Shops opened in droves throughout the winter, positioning West Palm Beach as an emerging market for digitally native stores testing the brick-and-mortar waters.

In addition to recent ribbon-cuttings for Yeti and Lululemon, newly open storefronts at Rosemary Square include:

• Family-owned Faherty, an apparel brand focused on high-quality, Earth-friendly goods. Their 2021 goal is for 85 percent of their products to be made from sustainable materials.

• Nantucket Whaler, a lifestyle company with a focus on durable apparel with nautical touches. This pop-up location will remain open through April.

• Another pop-up, Solid & Striped presents sunsoaked designer swimwear, apparel, and beachy accessories. Visit now through May 31.

• Mint & Rose, a collection of Mediterraneaninspired shoes and bags for women, soulfully crafted by artisans in Spain.

• Projected to open its doors March 4, Urban Outfitters will add its eccentric blend of clothing, home, lifestyle, and beauty products to the mix.

• A showroom for luxury electric car company Lucid Motors now anchors the district’s southeast entrance.

• A 10,622-square-foot West Elm will open summer 2021 between True Food Kitchen and LA Fitness along Rosemary Avenue, bringing

Rosemary Square’s home-goods square footage to more than 100,000.

Nantucket Whaler, Solid & Striped, and Mint & Rose are brainchildren of Leap, a data-driven turnkey platform that develops, deploys, and operates retail stores for modern brands (typically internet-born, direct-to-consumer labels). Such companies’ transitions from online only to physical retail mark the embrace of an omnichannel approach, and clusters of such stores are popping up in major cities. West Palm Beach’s inclusion makes a statement about its future trajectory, while Leap’s plug-and-play model is further evidence of retail’s ability to thrive in the era of online shopping.

Still, Rosemary Square isn’t the only local hot spot with new stores. On Worth Avenue, Yafa Signed Jewels recently premiered a 2,000-squarefoot retail location to house its collection of rare and vintage signed jewelry. At The Royal Poinciana Plaza, the December entrance of British fashion house Jimmy Choo marked the shopping center’s seventh new opening of the season.

The Lowdown on SUGAR

How sugar works within the body and SMART SWAPS to eliminate it from your diet

By Ivey Leidy | Photography by Kent Anderson When it comes to sugar, many people feel out of control. The good news? It’s not your fault.

Proven to be highly addictive, sugar floods the brain with so much dopamine (the pleasure hormone) that we can’t help ourselves but to overeat and keep coming back for more.

This addiction dates back to the beginning of mankind, when sugar was used as a means of survival. Our brain told our body to binge on the rare berry bush or beehive as a way to store fat for times when we’d need that reserve for fuel.

Unfortunately, we never evolved out of this.

While we no longer roam the earth hunting and gathering, we simply head to the pantry instead.

Our endocrine/hormone system acts as our internal control center and is made up of organs and glands that communicate with our brain and gut, carrying out numerous functions within the body. This system usually works in perfect harmony, but when you add sugar to the mix, an interesting phenomenon occurs.

Sugar increases production of the “hunger hormone” known as ghrelin and deactivates our “satiety hormone” known as leptin, tricking our brains and bodies into thinking we are hungry.

Fast-forward to present day, when our food industry has added sugar to almost every processed food we eat. This constant exposure to sugar leads not only to overeating (especially of more sugary foods), but to obesity and diabetes. The massive increase in chronic disease, heart disease, hypertension, and especially type 2 diabetes in recent decades is no coincidence.

Kicking the addiction to sugar may seem daunting, but with a few changes, a remarkable shift can occur. Not only will your taste buds change, making foods more flavorful, but hormones may stabilize, improving mood and sleep and regulating blood sugar and blood pressure.

» SUGAR AND KIDS

If you take the grams of sugar listed on a nutritional label and divide by four, you get the number of teaspoons of refined sugar or table sugar. The USDA recommends no more than 10 teaspoons of sugar per day for adults and 6 per day for children 2 years of age and older. Infants’ taste buds are designed to crave fat and sugar in N’ice cream breastmilk; their rapid growth requires more calories. Unfortunately, this sweet tooth can Save sweets and treats for special remain until puberty, resulting in children occasions. having very limited palates. Here are some tips for limiting sugar intake during these years: Keep fresh fruit and vegetables on hand for snacks.

N’ICE CREAM INGREDIENTS 3 frozen bananas 1/2 cup soaked and drained raw cashews (either soaked overnight in enough water to cover or soaked for 1 hour in hot water) 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 tbsp. almond or cashew milk

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as you go. Enjoy as is, or let set in the freezer for 1 hour before scooping.

STEWED APPLES INGREDIENTS 1 apple (I love Honeycrisp or Fuji) 1/3 cup water 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon Peel and core the apple and slice into wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.

Place apple slices, water, and cinnamon into a saucepan or pot.

Bring to a boil and then simmer for 3-4 minutes. When water is evaporated, transfer to a bowl and top with n’ice cream.

Although it's important to avoid high-sugar fruits when trying to beat the addiction to refined sugars, it’s okay to reintroduce moderate amounts once refined sugar has been eliminated. Bananas' nutritional benefits outweigh their sugar content. They’re rich in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, which slows the digestion of their sugars and limits the effect on blood-sugar levels and insulin production.

DON’TS · Processed foods including chips, crackers, pasta, and sweets · Gluten, dairy, and all table sugar · Artificial sweeteners such as saccharin (Sweet’n Low), aspartame (Equal), sucralose (Splenda), and sugar alcohols like xylitol, erythritol, and maltitol, which are difficult to process, causing bloating, gas, and diarrhea · Sweeteners such as agave, cane sugar, coconut sugar, and highfructose corn syrup, which are high on the glycemic index and act like table sugar within the body · Sugary drinks, juices, and sodas · High-sugar fruits such as mangoes, bananas, grapes, and pineapple DO’S · In place of these sweeteners and artificial sweeteners, use 1 tsp. of raw unfiltered honey, maple syrup, or pure stevia. · Keep fruit intake to 1/2 cup of low-sugar fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, oranges, grapefruit, cantaloupe, and kiwi. · Keep starchy vegetables such as potatoes and corn to a minimum (less than 1/4 of your plate). · Include as many non-starchy vegetables as you can ( 1/2 to 3/4 of your plate). Good options are broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, asparagus, celery, cucumber, eggplant, peppers, leafy greens, tomatoes, and zucchini. · Aim for 6 oz. of protein per meal.

Best choices are lean animal meat like chicken, eggs, and omega-3rich fish like salmon and tuna. If possible, choose organic produce, pasture-raised organic eggs and poultry, and grass-fed meat.

• Healthy fats—such as extra-virgin olive oil, almond butter, and avocados—keep you fuller longer, staving off sugar cravings.

Rick Rose is the founder of Palm Beach Vacation Rentals but is best-known around town for his deep knowledge of Palm Beach history. In fact, the West Palm native is so well versed in all things Palm Beach that he penned a book on the subject; Palm Beach: The Essential Guide to America’s Legendary Resort Town became the leading guide to the island upon its initial 2017 publication (the second edition will hit shelves in October). As the official historian for the Worth Avenue Association, Rose leads weekly walking tours of the area that raise money for a charity of choice each season.

In addition to being a member of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, Flagler Museum, and Palm Beach Preservation Foundation, Rose serves on the board of Discover the Palm Beaches and supports Ballet Palm Beach. —Skye Sherman

SERENGETI Savvy

In a time when bucket-list trips feel out of reach, start planning an experiential Tanzania safari for the future, exploring all corners of the Serengeti and heeding our most current insider tips

LOOK FORWARD TO ALL THAT’S NEW ON THE SERENGETI SAFARI CIRCUIT. Remarkably, 2020 blessed us with some of the Serengeti’s most stunning accommodations to date. Of note, the much-loved Singita Sabora Tented Camp (singita.com), a crown jewel of Singita Grumeti Reserve in the western Serengeti, re-debuted in November 2020 after a year-long closure, showing off a brand-new facility built from the ground up. Sabora Tented Camp 2.0 is a masterpiece of light-on-Earth, transitional indoor-outdoor space, with profound wellness elements woven into a minimalist, African-indebted aesthetic. Each of the nine canvas-topped tents reveals expansive open floor plans, framed by alternating glass and mesh screens, allowing the sights, sounds, and breezes of the savanna to remain present at all times. Rooms are strewn with custom leather furnishings, from nightstands to folding tables to hanging bathroom mirrors fastened to thick, handsome belts.

A private meditation deck, outdoor shower, alfresco living area, and comfy daybed facilitate restorative days of yoga, reading, contemplation, and unapologetic relaxation in the heart of the Tanzanian bush.

Clockwise from above: The refreshed lounge at Sayari Camp; an epic daytime leopard sighting at Sayari camp; overlooking the Tanzanian bush with Serengeti Balloon Safaris; safari from the pool at the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti.

Up in the northern Serengeti, Asilia Africa’s Sayari Camp (asiliaafrica.com) reopened following a comprehensive refurbishment. The pioneering property, best known for its role in fostering a conservation economy in a former poaching hot spot, sports a new look courtesy of celebrated designer Caline Williams-Wynn. The 15-tent camp pays homage to its setting: Kuria people of the northern Serengeti are depicted in original artworks, the color palette is inspired by the surrounding topography, and beaded Maasai soft goods adorn rooms. Situated near the Mara River, the location here is also tops; wildebeest and zebra abound during annual migrations—and apex predators tend to follow.

The Gran Meliá Arusha (melia.com) is another welcomed addition to the Serengeti safari circuit. Nestled between Kilimanjaro and Arusha airports, this comfort-rich, hypermodern hotel—rooftop bar included—gives safari-goers a world-class place to rest their heads in between their international arrival and next-day domestic departures.

SAFARI IN THE WATER AND UP IN THE AIR. While on safari, FOMO (fear of missing out) is unavoidable: Every trip in that Land Rover could yield another blockbuster wildlife sighting, so it’s off to the vehicle you go! Yet oftentimes there’s plenty of action right at the lodge, where it’s entirely possible to safari from, say, the comfort of the swimming pool. At the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti (fourseasons.com/serengeti), for example, the infinity pool overlooks a sprawling watering hole frequented by elephants, giraffes, zebra, baboon, buffalo, and more. Enjoy surreal days watching Planet Earth unfold while half-submerged, cocktail in hand. Take things up a notch by selecting a “Terrace Suite Water Hole View” as your preferred accommodations and admire a similar view from the privacy of your own en-suite pool.

Don’t miss the vantage point from up in the air, either, with Serengeti Balloon Safaris (balloonsafaris.com).

The classic experience delivers incomparable dronelike panoramas of the East African bush and the wildlife that thrives therein. With four locations throughout the Serengeti—northern, western, central, and southern— the skies are always within reach from your lodge, and each locale promises its own magical sights.

Cheetah sightings abound at Namiri Plains and the tents are most inviting (below right and bottom left).

MEET THE CATS OF THE UNTOUCHED EASTERN SERENGETI. From 1994 to 2014, much of the eastern Serengeti—and its iconic short-grass plains—remained off limits to tourism as part of a concerted effort to protect dwindling numbers of big cats (namely cheetah) and provide a safe haven for repopulation efforts. Once the region was reintegrated into the National Park circuit, eco-conscious operator Asilia Africa (asiliaafrica.com) planted roots in this prime predator real estate. Fast-forward to present day, and Asilia’s tented camp, Namiri Plains, stands as the superlative place within the Serengeti to see African cats, big and small.

A recent visit to Namiri Plains lived up to the hype. I counted a minimum of six cheetah encounters daily, with one jumping right into our vehicle. I marveled at interactions among lion cubs, including the progeny of famed lions Bob and Ziggy, known for their size, strength, and massive black and blond manes, respectively. I witnessed rare daylight sightings of caracals and servals, even catching a glimpse of two melanistic serval kittens.

The camp itself also impressed as one of the Serengeti’s best. Transformed in 2019 from its humbler origins, Namiri Plains is now a collection of 10 solar-powered tents and tricked-out common areas, all crafted from ancient sedimentary rock, resulting in a fabulous, fossil-chic vibe. With outdoor salas in each tent and prolific design-forward spaces along the Ngare Nanyuki riverbed, there are ample swoonworthy spots for reflecting on the day’s adrenalinefilled, feline-forward adventures.

SEEK OUT THE ARTS AND CULTURE IN THE BUSH. While wildlife will always be the main draw of a Serengeti safari, many properties are going the extra mile to showcase the region’s artistic and cultural assets. Case in point: the aforementioned Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, home to the likes of an artist-in-residence program, an inspiring Discovery Center, and Boma Grill, a restaurant that celebrates Maasai culture through performance and Tanzanian culture through cuisine. During the year, eight up-and-coming artists complete residencies between two weeks and two months long, painting new works and interacting with guests daily in a studio near the main bar. The Discovery Center is part museum, part lecture theater, with artifacts from across Tanzania, including hominid fossils from Olduvai Gorge, and documentaries screened twice nightly. At Boma Grill, immerse in the authentic song and dance of the Maasai while sampling typical Tanzanian mainland dishes such as savory banana soup and seafood-centric cuisine from Zanzibar like coconut prawn curry.

WEIGH THE RISKS VERSUS THE REWARDS OF TRAVELING NOW. Tanzania and its safari lodges are currently open to international visitors and have been since May 2020. With tourism at recent lows, a lack of human presence (and those pesky vehicles that accompany it) have permitted an unparalleled regeneration within Serengeti National Park and its peripheral reserves. Now, the animal sightings rank arguably the best in recent decades. As one who has ventured on 23 safaris in as many years, my expedition last Novem-

ber topped them all. Coveted action sequences typically reserved for television specials, such as leopards mating in daylight, back-to-back cheetah kills, and face-offs between giraffes and lions, are currently happening in real time, all the time. Suffice to say, those who feel comfortable traveling to the Serengeti now will witness what few get to see: Nature completely ruling Africa’s heartland. Nevertheless, if late 2021or 2022 feels more logical and responsible, an epic safari still awaits—the Serengeti never disappoints. «

In his younger years, Brinsley Matthews studied in Dublin, immersed in courses on art and antiques at Trinity College and Earlsfort Terrace. This experience has served him well in his current role as executive vice president of famed design firm Dorothy Draper & Company, and he still regularly returns to Ireland’s capital. “Then, as now, Dublin is a happening city,” he says. “The arts scene is amazing; indeed, one could say every person in Dublin is a character.” While Palm Beach is his Florida home, Matthews frequently visits the UK and Ireland. In Dublin, he stays at the Merrion Hotel, a group of eighteenth-century townhouses converted into a first-class establishment located steps from St. Stephen’s Green, a park surrounded by Georgian homes. —Skye Sherman

Recline and relax in the business-jet luxury of the new Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600

By Howard Walker

82

What does the sweet smell of success actually smell like? When it permeates the interior of Mercedes’ stunning new $160,000 flagship SUV—the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic—it’s the flowery, light aroma of white osmanthus blossom, rounded off by a gentle leather note, with a hint of spicy tea.

The olfactory-minded team at Mercedes-Benz created this unique fragrance to spritz the cabin of the hedonistic GLS 600. Here is a super-luxe business jet on wheels to challenge the likes of Bentley’s Bentayga, Range Rover’s SV Autobiography, and BMW’s Alpina XB7.

And while it was developed from the Alabama-built, full-size Mercedes GLS 4x4 (prices from $76,000) it’s a different animal altogether.

Just look at the thing: It has more bling than Liberace at his most flamboyant, Vegas best. It oozes opulence, from its flashy chrome grille to its shimmery-mesh air intake, from those towering polished rims to that gorgeous two-tone paint.

While the exterior will rotate heads from Worth Avenue to Rodeo Drive, the interior is the exclamation point. Climb into the back—helped by self-lowering suspension—and settle into rear thrones that recline aircraft-style, with elevating footrests, built-in calf and back massagers, heaters, coolers, and pillows as headrests.

A compartment between the seats can chill a bottle of Champagne and there are even a couple of flutes—for drinking, not playing—at your disposal. To serenade you while you imbibe, the state-of-theart Burmester 3D surround-sound system boasts 27 speakers and 1,590 watts of auditory bliss.

Arguably the biggest thrill of this mighty Maybach is the way it drives. Its power comes courtesy of a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that

packs a robust 550 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque. Add to this Mercedes’ EQ Boost 48-volt mild-hybrid system, which can rustle up 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of additional thrust. Pedal to the metal, you’ll hit 60 mph from standstill in a mere 4.8 seconds.

Perhaps even more impressive is the way this 6,000-pound beauty seemingly defies physics and behaves like a sports sedan through the curves. The key here is the Maybach’s E-Active Body Control, which allows it to lean into a curve, much like a motorcycle, to reduce any top-heavy sensation for those inside. Couple this with air suspension that delivers a magic carpet ride, front cameras

that prep the suspension to absorb lumps and bumps, and truly impressive tire grip to arrive at a vehicle that is an absolute delight to drive.

Okay, not all is perfect. With the rear seats now positioned 4.7 inches farther back to increase legroom (the third row has been jettisoned entirely) plus their inability to fold, luggage space is minuscule at best.

Picking up friends from the airport? Better book an Uber for their bags.

Here’s the dilemma: Do you go with the Mercedes-Maybach 600 GLS or the newly refreshed 2021 Bentley Bentayga? Tough call. Both have a comparable base price, similar V-8 power, and the same single-minded focus on luxury—though the Maybach definitely has the cooler rear seats. But with its interior aroma of white osmanthus blossom, the Maybach just might win by a nose. «

Seven Seas Yachts’ stunning HERMES SPEEDSTER is a Porsche for the seas

By Howard Walker For aficionados of classic automobiles, the 1954 Porsche Speedster stands out as an icon.

“King of Cool” Steve McQueen used to race one. So did James Dean. It’s the reason you can now expect to pay upward of a quarter of a million dollars to put one in your garage.

It’s no wonder then that UK-based Seven Seas Yachts used the Porsche’s quirky yet instantly recognizable lines as the inspiration for its achingly gorgeous Hermes Speedster runabout.

The Porsche Speedster design cues are hard to miss—from that curvy windshield to the chrome-ringed retro gauges and twin meshed air intakes set in the rear sun pad. As for that

Hermes name, it comes from the ancient Greek god rather than the fancy fashion brand. That being said, the quality is certainly up there with that of the French couturier.

Seven Seas, which maintains a U.S. headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, has been building this rakish 22-footer since 2017. Until recently, the main power source was a 155-horsepower Rotax airplane engine utilizing a Waverunnerlike water jet. It’s a combo that can skim the Speedster across the water at a zippy 45 mph.

These days, however, the builder is aiming to appeal to more environmentally conscious boaters with its zero-emission, all-electric

version, the Speedster E. It comes with a 100kW electric motor juiced by a 30-kW-hour battery pack to deliver a top speed of 36 mph.

Throttle back and, at 6 mph, it’ll run in stealthy silence for up to nine hours on a single charge.

Regardless of whether you select gas or electric, the level of craftsmanship is just astonishing. Every piece of trim, every switch, every fitting is handmade. I love the Art Deco–style stereo, with its wave-patterned stainless-steel facing plate that hinges downward from the dash at the touch of a button. That, and the beautiful Italian Moto-Lita wood-rimmed helm with its polished spokes and shiny rivets.

84 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

000_HIGHSEAS_0321.indd 84

1/29/21 11:46 AM

The teak-soled cockpit boasts seating for five, including two hip-hugging buckets and a rear seat that’s extra deep for lounging. And just so you don’t forget the runabout’s roots, there’s a gold-plated “Speedster” badge on the dash and cockpit sides in the same typeface used for the classic Porsche. For a little protection from the sun, or when an afternoon shower rolls through, just flip forward the folding canvas top which, again, is Porsche-inspired.

As for the design of the glass hull, there’s hardly a straight line. And never forgetting the Porsche connection, the rear looks oh so similar to that of the four-wheeled Speedster.

There’s no shortage of substance to balance all this style either. Seven Seas’ patented “Amfihull” design is said to do away with the typical speedboat characteristic of the bow pointing skyward as the boat leaps onto the plane. Instead, the Hermes maintains a near horizontal attitude as speed increases.

Its low center of gravity also gives it excep-

PRICE: FROM $188,000 LENGTH: 22 FEET BEAM: 5 FEET, 9 INCHES DRY WEIGHT: 1,500 POUNDS POWER: 155-HP ROTAX OR 100-KW ELECTRIC TOP SPEED: 45 MPH WHY WE LOVE IT: BECAUSE IT OFFERS THE LOOK OF A CLASSIC PORSCHE BUT THE FUN OF A JET SKI.

tional stability when making tight turns.

It’s not a big boat—just 22 feet bow to swimplatformed stern, and a slender 5 feet, 9 inches in the beam. But tipping the scales at 1,500 pounds makes it a breeze to tow behind your road-going Porsche. That water jet sprouting from the transom also keeps the boat’s draught in check. It’ll run in seas less than a foot deep, meaning it’s ideal for Florida’s shallow waters.

Of course, all this craftsmanship and quality doesn’t come cheap. A Rotax-powered Hermes Speedster will set you back around $188,000, while the electric-powered Speedster E stickers at $269,000. Both come lavishly equipped with no options to add.

As for pulling up outside the yacht club or your favorite dockside eatery in a red Hermes Speedster? That’s priceless. «

n ensemble of themed character props and designer couture is not a typical sight in Palm Beach, but never looked chicer than when worn by Ms. Loretta Neff, local philanthropist, author, and child advocate.

Loretta was in her element helping children and her entertaining spirit was the “magic wand” of her enchanting presentations. Animatedly reading to students, Loretta’s enthusiasm bubbled over to the safari-themed, pith-helmet-wearing students their excitement bursting into all arms reaching up for questions. Teaching core values and character education was ever so fulfilling and heartwarming.

This was just another day in the life of Loretta Neff.

Loretta was an award-winning children’s book author, writing books about bettering oneself through manners, civility, and caring for and service to others. Building character as a longstanding and honorable virtue was at the core of her mission; it is an overarching theme in each of her books. She was committed to creating a better world through the earnestness and innocence of children.

Tame Your Manners at KAMP Safari® {Kids’ Animals & Manners Program} and follow-up book, Sip Tea with Mad Hatter at KAMP® {Kids’ Arts & Manners Program} were written to teach basic social skills early, especially during childhood, when a child’s moral fiber can be

shaped to greatly impact his or her life for the better. Loretta recently finished a manuscript for her third book, Desi & Lucy’s Adventures at KAMP Happy Tails™, a book which incorporates a new Furry Reading Buddies™ program, a unique curriculum that links social-emotional learning (SEL) and humane education.

As a young woman, Loretta joined a private club and began teaching business etiquette and the all-important social skills to clients ranging from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. A simple postponement of law school became a thriving career –and a driving mission.

In 2014, Loretta created the EW Foundation (EWF) to help underprivileged children gain valuable skills used for life from its Kids of Character™ outreach programs. EWF’s vision is to teach, inspire, and motivate children to perform spontaneous acts of kindness and consideration. Through fun and interactive school presentations and donated books, students learn more than 20 principles, including compassion, confidence, gratitude, humility, integrity, knowledge, loyalty, obedience, patience, respect, responsibility, and understanding.

With her husband by her side and a few devoted volunteers, Loretta Neff reached out to children, schools, and principals, and shared the goodness of her books. Her annual fundraiser, Books, Bellinis

and Bel Canto™, was a labor of love and Loretta flourished with her foundation’s goal of reaching as many students as possible. Loretta brought her “muchness” (an endearing phrase from her books to represent a big heart and passion) to children all over the U.S., especially in Palm Beach County.

She worked hard for every dollar raised and since EWF’s inception, it has served over 25,468 children, 46 charities, and 43 schools and academies. She was immersed in the Palm Beach scene but spent most of her time illuminating the classrooms.

Exceptionally thoughtful, she would sign and personalize every book given to a student and was a connoisseur of the handwritten note.

Married to her beloved husband, Pier Bjorklund, for almost 14 years, they shared a special love that weathered the ebbs and flows of “sickness and health and good times and bad” through their strong devotion to each other. They met on the day after Valentine’s Day in 2007 at a Palm Beach fundraiser.

A quick glance serendipitously had them engaged in Bordeaux, France, on August 7, 2007, and married at Sandy Lane in Barbados on October 7, 2007. By most accounts, a fairy-tale romance and beginning of a life together became challenged in 2012 when Loretta was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.

Although given a prognosis of one year, Loretta persevered for eight purposeful years—her zest for life and altruism sustaining her. Despite her illness, she started her journey in writing children’s books.

Since her passing in July 2020, it’s been impossible to determine the countless people touched by Loretta’s sparkle and kindness throughout her lifetime. Her joie de vivre will live on in the hearts of family, friends, the children whose lives have been shaped by the ideals within her books and programs, and, most importantly, through the continuing work of her proudest accomplishment, the EW Foundation.

Her husband, family, close friends, and donors are steadfast in continuing her legacy through the EW Foundation with their sights set on a broader, more national outreach to expand Loretta’s vision.

In the words of J.M. Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan, “People who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.” Not only was this one of Loretta’s favorite quotes, it embodies the person she was her entire life. Loretta is remembered for her joy, lightness, generosity of spirit, and, most especially, for her commitment to helping children in need.

FIRE

Catching A scheduling fluke and an Instagram post ignited a national conversation about the face of the fire service. Meet the five women who started it all.

Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue Department Rescue Lieutenant Krystyna Krakowski eyeballs the bins of medical supplies in the back of her ambulance. It’s a veritable emergency room on wheels. But beyond the equipment is something she says is just as important: compassion for people. “I could be the last face someone sees,” she says. “I’m going to make sure they get what they need from me as a medic. But also, what they need from me as a human being.”

As alarms ring through the station, a dispatcher alerts the team to an emergency at a local long-term care facility. Lights on and sirens blaring, fire medic Julie Dudley guides the ambulance through traffic. On scene, the team races to the patient, with Krakowski calling the shots.

They start chest compressions and administer medications. They find a pulse and lose it. They try to determine the man’s medical history (which no one at the facility seems to know) and how long he’s been unresponsive (an aide shrugs and says, “He was fine this morning.”).

Respect for everyone on the team is embedded into the culture of our department. Every person who works here has got to believe in and support that culture, or they won’t actually put it into practice when no one is looking.”

—Deputy Fire Chief James Ippolito On many days, lives are saved on calls like these. But this isn’t one of those days; the patient dies. Krakowski and her team are likely the last faces he saw—and maybe the only people who cared for him at a human level.

Making History The fire rescue team responding to the long-term care facility is comprised of two women and three men. But on September 18, 2020, the team was a women-only affair: Krakowski and Dudley, plus fire medic Kelsey Krzywada, acting captain Monica Marzullo, and driver engineer Sandi Ladewski.

“It happened by chance,” Palm Beach Gardens Deputy Fire Chief James Ippolito says of the first-ever all-woman shift in the department’s 56-year history. “We were just going through our normal staffing procedures based on qualifications and rank.”

Marzullo says that from the get-go she knew the team would garner attention, and she wanted to make sure they were ready for whatever the day brought. “When they hear us go on calls today, it’s going to be all eyes on us,” she told her colleagues at their morning meeting. “Everybody bring your A game.”

After the meeting, the group posed for pictures at Fire Station 65 to commemorate the history-making day. But then, Dudley says, it was business as usual as the team handled the calls that came in from dispatch.

Because the Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department provides both firefighting and emergency medical services, every team member on every shift is a certified firefighter as well as either a certified paramedic or EMT. Ippolito says 85 percent of the calls his crews respond to are medical emergencies. The remaining 15 percent are to structure fires, vehicle fires, brush fires, hazardous materials incidents, car accidents, bomb scares, gas leaks, and other types of public assistance calls.

There were no fires for the #sheshift (as it’s now known) to fight that day, but there was plenty of action. Dudley says that on call after call, people took note of the all-woman squad. “They were like: Wait a minute, there’s another girl! ‘How many of you are there?’” she recalls a man who had been in a car accident asking. “And I was like: ‘There are five of us, and we got this.’”

But when their 24-hour shift ended, the greater conversation—about women’s roles in male-dominated professions like the fire service— was just beginning.

Shifting the Culture Firefighters nationwide consider each other family. But no family is without its dysfunction, and within this one, there’s an open secret: Women in the fire service are still controversial and relatively rare.

To explain the dearth of women firefighters, some point to the fact that men and women are held to identical physical standards. Those standards—adopted in fire departments throughout the U.S.—are 96

known as the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT), an eight-event, timed gauntlet. Candidates must drag hoselines, climb stairs in full gear, carry tools, operate ladders, use sledgehammers to gain forcible entry, navigate mazes with limited visibility, locate and remove a 165-pound dummy from a simulated fire scene, and breach a ceiling. They have just 10 minutes and 20 seconds to do it all, and they must wear their protective clothing, helmet, and boots—plus a 50-pound vest to simulate the weight of a self-contained breathing apparatus. (For the stair climb event, an additional 25 pounds is added to their shoulders to approximate the weight of a high-rise hose bundle.)

The CPAT is widely considered to be one of the most grueling tests required for any profession in the U.S., and many say it presents a physical barrier too high for most women to meet. But Marc Bendick, an economic consultant who conducted a 2008 study on female firefighters across North America, says that when the test is administered fairly, men and women pass at about the same rate. “It’s not every woman in the U.S. who could pass that test,” Bendick admits. “And not every man can pass it either. But the kind of women who apply for fire jobs are very athletically inclined, and they can and do pass.”

Krzywada takes pride in the fact that women firefighters have to hit the same benchmarks as their male counterparts. But, she says, that often means they have to work smarter, not harder, to get the job done.

“I always have to figure out how to do stuff in different ways,” she explains. “Like, maybe I can’t pick that tool up like that. I have to find a different way to grab it, a different angle to make it work.”

But beyond the concerns over the demanding physical standards of the CPAT, there’s also a sexist precedent, a pervasive bro culture that says women don’t belong in the fire service. Krakowski—who worked at another department before joining Palm Beach Gardens 15 years ago—says she’s experienced the struggle firsthand. “I went through horrific hazing,” she says, recalling her days at the other department.

“You’re talking about a good-old-boy system, and it’s strong.”

Ippolito says that system has to change—and he’s doing his utmost to make sure his department leads the way. “Respect for everyone on the team is embedded into the culture of our department,” he says. “Every person who works here has got to believe in and support that culture, or they won’t actually put it into practice when no one is looking.”

Ippolito must be doing something right: Female firefighters make up 11 percent of his department. If that percentage seems low, consider that the national average of women firefighters is just 4.7 percent, according to federal labor statistics.

Marzullo believes Palm Beach Gardens’ success comes from using each individual’s strengths for the good of the team and the community they serve. “There’s a job for everybody,” she says. “It takes all different types to complete all the tasks we’re expected to do.” Ippolito agrees: “Do we all have our strengths and weaknesses? Absolutely. But they all complement each other.”

Inspiring Impact When Krakowski and Dudley posted the group photos they’d snapped during the #sheshift to their social media accounts, they had no idea what their reach (nor their impact) would be.

Initially, they pegged their posts to support Brian Wolnewitz, a 40-year-old Palm Beach Gardens fire captain who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2019. “He’s our driving force,” says Krakowski, who urges people to purchase the Firefighters to the Rescue fundraiser shirts that all five women wore in those now-viral photos (firefighters totherescue.com). “We wanted to celebrate our accomplishments as women,” Ladeswki says, “but Brian was our big why.”

With a combined 6,000 likes and 4,000 shares, the story soon morphed beyond the fundraising realm and began appearing in media outlets from The New York Post to ABC’s Good Morning America to NBC’s Today Show.

As the self-proclaimed introvert of the #sheshift, Marzullo found the initial media onslaught overwhelming. But the influx of mentoring opportunities that has come along with the group’s newfound fame has allowed her and her colleagues to encourage the dreams of the next generation of women firefighters. That alone, Marzullo says, makes all of the hubbub worth it.

Krakowski tells the women and girls who’ve reached out for advice that pursuing the job you love—especially in a male-dominated profession—takes personal fortitude. “Don’t give up,” she says. “I tell them they’ve got to keep a sense of humor and not take things personally. If you have smarts and compassion to do the job, you’re going to succeed.”

Of course, on the internet, anything that attracts good attention will

The women of Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue have the physical strength, technical expertise, and informed know-how to confront fires. But modern fire departments respond to more medical calls than actual fires. The result?

Today’s firefighters must be able to access empathy, practice patience, and show compassion for the people they’re called to help.

also attract bad attention. Ladewski says that in the wake of it all, she has followed a key online adage: don’t read the comments. “There are still some people in the fire service who don’t think women should be in the ranks,” she says. “You’ve just got to ignore it and do what you love and are good at.”

Internet trolls aside, Ippolito says that the barrier-breaking positivity of the #sheshift inspires him as both a firefighter and a father. “The message that there are no boundaries, and that you can do anything you want to do regardless of your gender, is important,” said Ippolito, who has a 8-year-old daughter. “That’s what I want for my daughter, and that’s what I want for the women in our department. That’s what I want for the women in my community.”

Future Focused There will always be fires to fight. There will always be emergencies to respond to. And there will always be patients to care for—like the man in the long-term facility that Krakowski and her team worked to save.

Those things are all part of being a firefighter. The shift at Station 65 was staffed by a nearly all-male crew on September 19. But for one day, the women ruled. The #sheshift hopes their story helps those who will follow in their bootsteps to see a new diverse future for the fire service.

Krzywada, who admits it took her several tries to pass her fire school test, feels the #sheshift stands as a lesson to those who doubt a woman’s ability to work in the fire service. “The first time I didn’t pass the test, the director of my fire academy looked me straight in the eye

092_FIREFIGHTERS_0321.indd 101

and said, ‘You’re done here. I would never want you working on my crew,’” she recalls. “But the irony is: I did eventually make it.”

Does she wonder if he saw the viral media coverage? “Damned straight,” Krzywada says, laughing. “I hope he saw it and recognized me as the woman he tried to discourage. He’s the one who failed, not me.”

As the dust settles on their viral moment, Krakowski says she’s come to realize that the #sheshift’s message of empowerment is just an echo of the internal monologue she returns to when being a woman—in a job that was once seen as no-place-for-women—tests her spirits: “Hold your ground. Never quit. Even with tears in your eyes, keep going,” she says. “Don’t let anybody else tell you what you’re capable of, because women can do anything.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | MARCH 2021

DANDIES Dapper dressing is de rigueur for our 2021 Men of Style

DAVID MCCLYMONT | The Surfer-Turned-CEO As CEO of the Palm Beach Symphony, David McClymont may appear to be a classic businessman in a perfectly tailored suit. But somewhere beneath his Lean Six Sigma Green Belt lies the salty heart of a former Billabong-sponsored surfer.

On most days, McClymont leads the symphony’s business dealings and programming. (He’s doing something right—in 2020, the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County awarded the organization a Muse Award for Outstanding Community Engagement in recognition of its wide variety of programming in schools, free public concerts, youth music, and music therapy efforts for underserved populations.) But on weekends and holidays, you can catch McClymont traveling to surf new locales around the world, including a recent jaunt to the Maldives.

It’s a sport that McClymont says has heavily influenced his personal style, since being a sponsored surfer meant doing his fair share of photo shoots. The experience introduced him to the world of sartorial expression: “How to pair outfits, how to dress up or dress down to a particular mood, occasion, or style,” he explains.

Over the years, he’s taken those lessons and applied them to his own look. “I make sure that my style inspiration is coming from me and not what I’m seeing on social media,” he says. “We’ve seen so many people who wear something that’s super fashionable, but you can tell that they’re wearing it for all the wrong reasons. It’s not part of their persona, right? True style has to be an extension of who you are as a person.”

Personal style statement: I try to embrace my mood. Can never have too many: Shoes. There’s always an occasion to show your personality with a great pair of shoes. Labels he loves: Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, Tod’s, Billabong, Chervò, J Brand Current style influencers: Keanu Reeves, Roger Federer, David Beckham, and Mariano Di Vaio. They can go from edgy to modern to distinguished, and they aren’t afraid to take risks. Beloved shopping spots: Worth Avenue, The Royal Poinciana Plaza, The Gardens Mall Most priceless piece: My grandfather’s cufflinks Celebrity closet he’d like to raid: Keanu Reeves. He has a diversified wardrobe for all occasions. Worthwhile splurge: My custom suits Go-to look: Distinguished business attire Best way to break the rules: Stripping down to a pair of trunks and going surfing. Last purchase: A Chervò Mondello jacket Next fashion investment: A Calibre de Cartier diver watch

JERVONTE EDMONDS | The Minimalist Someone once told Jervonte “Tae” Edmonds—CEO of Suits for Seniors and the West Palm Beach Police Athletic League—that people judge you twice: when you walk in the room and when you open your mouth. That’s why the nonprofit organizations he leads help teach young people how to have style and back it up with substance.

What does his style say when he walks into a room? Edmonds likes to shoot for two goals: bold and simple. “I try to have my suit make a statement, but you’ll always see me in a simple dress shirt,” he explains. “I don’t wear a tie, but I add a pocket square. I want to stand out, but I want to always be reserved and know that I’m not being too extra.”

Edmonds says he discovered his personal passion for style after joining a college leadership organization. “I think I took the saying, ‘Dress for where you are going, not where you are,’ too seriously,” he jokes. But it’s a mantra that has gotten him far—and inspired him to help others along the way.

“It means a lot to be a part of a crowd of people who are trying to be influencers and show how important your image and first impression are,” he says. “I represent a population of people who tend to get put into a box. I hope I get to open up the box for them through my style.”

Personal style statement: It has evolved over time as I’ve found the pieces, patterns, and prices that meet my needs to be both bold and simple. Can never have too many: White button-down slim-fit dress shirts Labels he loves: Ferragamo (for accessories) Beloved shopping spots: NY Men’s Clothing in the Boynton Beach Mall and Bob Goldfarb Custom Suits Most priceless piece: A windowpane, custom-made Bob Goldfarb gray suit given to me for Christmas by my friend John Tedesco Celebrity closet he’d like to raid: Steve Harvey. Can you name someone with a greater taste in suits? Favorite fashion up-and-comer: My Suits for Seniors alumni. The students go off to college and seem to come back dressed better than me. Biggest fashion risk he’s taken: Wearing a super slim-fit patterned suit to a Comcast Achievers interview. I broke the zipper in the middle of the interview. It was worth the risk because only the top half of my suit made the cut. Worthwhile splurge: My Ferragamo shoes Go-to look: A navy blue suit, a white dress shirt, and a white pocket square Always accessorizes with: A gold ring Best way to break the rules: Wear a big hat. You’ll never catch him in: Colorful clothing. For me, less is more. Trend he’d like to see canceled: Three-piece suits. They typically run big on the person wearing them. Fashion’s next big moment: When designers start making affordable clothing that doesn’t cause body-shaming and bullying.

MATTHEW LINDERMAN | The Traditionalist For Matthew Linderman, president, COO, and general manager of Boca West Country Club, style is a constant process of polish and refinement. “I’ve always had a keen eye for detail—whether it’s the way I dress, making sure my shoes are polished, or the way I present myself when I go into meetings,” he says. In practice, that means wearing a suit six or seven days a week.

But even hospitality honchos have to take some downtime, and Linderman says his wife, Yamile, and daughters, Alexa and Sophia, have his full attention on his days off. Still, it can be hard for him to get out of the strings of a suit. “My wife likes it more when I’m in my sandals and flip-flops, but I tend to be proper in my attire. My family is always pushing me to relax,” he says, laughing.

His passion for family extends to his philanthropic endeavors. He’s actively involved with Habitat for Humanity and the Boca West Children’s Foundation, which works with at-risk children to address basic care needs surrounding poverty, such as homelessness and hunger.

Flip-flops aside, Linderman believes his urge toward formality is just part of who he’s always been. “My father was born in Ireland, grew up in Scotland, and worked in the garment industry in New York,” he notes, explaining his fascination with a sort of Britishinspired polish. “Being refined is who I am—it’s in my bloodline.”

Personal style statement: Debonair and refined. I’d say I’m conservative. I’m never flashy. Can never have too many: Dress shirts or pocket squares. It’s always about the details. Labels he loves: Charles Tyrwhitt, Hugo Boss, Tom Ford, Canali, Brioni Most priceless piece: My father’s Lord Elgin watch. It was a gift he received from my mother for their wedding in 1955 and it was passed down to me. Collects: Watches and cufflinks Celebrity closet he’d like to raid: James Bond because of his sophistication, elegance, and timeless style. Worthwhile splurge: A Tom Ford tuxedo Always accessorizes with: Ties Perfectly Palm Beach look he’s known to rock: Matching color schemes with my wife and daughters. Last purchase: Salvatore Ferragamo shoes Next investment piece: Another watch! A fashion statement he’ll never attempt to pull off: Robert Graham or Versace because it’s not me. Trend he’d like to see canceled: Sneakers with suits

DALE PERRAULT | The Envelope-Pusher Whether it’s in his role as managing director for the Palm Beach office of Nest Seekers International or in his fashion choices, Dale Perrault says he “likes to push the envelope.” As a real estate agent, he believes that means going above the norm—creating media focus and experiential marketing opportunities over more “outdated approaches” to selling a home, such as open houses and printed flyers. That kind of forward thinking carries over to his personality. “I like to be colorful and vibrant in the way I dress,” he says. “I’m not really concerned with who’s looking at me; I’m more concerned with how I feel in the clothes I wear.”

Although Perrault—who lives locally with his husband, Justin Perrault, director of research at Loggerhead Marinelife Center—discovered his fashion sense at age 18, he admits it didn’t flourish until he came out at 28. “That is when I really began allowing myself to take risks and be true to who I am as an individual.”

For Perrault, authenticity is key. “I think people can recognize when you feel comfortable—and when you don’t—in the clothes you wear,” he says. “Your personal style is important because it creates energy and almost develops your character based on the outfit you’ve chosen that day. Or at least it does for me.”

It’s a style that Perrault says isn’t guided by labels or price tags.

“Growing up in foster care, I was never given an opportunity to focus on fashion—nor did I really have access to things.” That mindset has followed him into adulthood. “It doesn’t matter how much money I make.

I’m always going to walk to the sale rack first; it’s just the way I’m wired. I really focus on things that stand out to me, that I connect with. Fashion, at its core, is a way to express yourself and your personality.”

Personal style statement: My personal style describes my mood for the day. You can tell how I am feeling based on my appearance. I like playing with colors that pop but also enjoy a black ensemble from head to toe.

Labels he loves: I’m not a big label guy, but I have a soft spot for Vineyard Vines and Lilly Pulitzer. Current style influencers: Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs because they are true to themselves. But my greatest style influencer is my 14-year-old daughter, Alyson, who prefers repurposing thrifted clothes and creating insanely awesome outfits. Perfectly Palm Beach look he’s known to rock: My Palm Beach pink blazer Most priceless piece: A pair of boots that I purchased five years ago after my first real estate sale. I typically don’t spend much on myself, but I worked my feet off for that family and I decided those boots at Nordstrom were made for walking on these feet. Always accessorizes with: Bracelets Celebrity closet he’d like to raid: Diane Keaton. We could create the most amazing montage highlighting her most iconic looks throughout her career. Biggest fashion risk he’s taken: I once was known to rock what I call a front mullet—just bangs. That was literally all that I had on my head.

And I would grow my bangs out long enough to tuck behind my ear. I was 13. Fashion’s next big moment: Celebrating people for who they are as individuals. Fashion is amazing because it will always be a form of expression, which is timeless regardless of era.

HARRISON MORGAN | The Life of the Party Fashion designer Harrison Morgan knows a good look when he sees one. More importantly, he knows where—not who—he’s dressing for. “I dress for the locale and the event,” he says. “Colors read differently in different light.”

As co-owner of Palm Beach and Co., Morgan produces women’s clothes and jewelry designs that he then wholesales to top department stores and specialty shops. His self-described “creative urge” began as a child, watching his mother, Camille, develop her own fashion business.

He and his husband, interior designer Guy Clark, made Palm Beach their permanent home five years ago.

The key to fitting in no matter where you are? Morgan says it’s valuing participation over “simply showing up.” While his personal preferences have always been classic, moving to the island has allowed him to get more adventurous with color and print. “When we are here in Palm Beach, we try to do a Palm Beach look, which we enjoy. You can take a few more chances down here with prints and color. When we’re in the Hamptons or in Nantucket we do more muted colors. I mean, maybe I’ll push a little bit of color in the Hamptons, but not like you could do here.”

When it comes to being social, Morgan notes that dressing up is half the fun. “It gives you a chance to be a part of any event, whether it’s restrained formal elegance or a beach bash.”

Personal style: Always classic and adapted to the cities in which I am most often at work or play. (I recently got a climate-controlled storage unit from which I can select items for various trips to different locales.)

Can never have too many: Comfortable, well-designed shoes. Your feet support your fun. Labels he loves: J. McLaughlin, Cremieux, Ralph Lauren Beloved shopping spots: The Royal Poinciana Plaza, Worth Avenue, and unexpected small shops when I travel to Italy and France each year Most priceless piece: My Cartier Panthère watch. It is beautifully designed, comfortable, and I like being on time. Collects: Since moving to Palm Beach, I now have a collection of colorful blazers and about 300 pocket squares. Covets: Hermès loafers in unique designs Celebrity closet he’d like to raid: Influencer/blogger James Andrew. He has an incredible eye for colorful, timeless quality. Favorite fashion up-and-comer: Michael Bastian, who is breathing new life into Brooks Brothers. Go-to look: White J. McLaughlin jeans, a colorful blazer, and Gucci loafers Last purchase: Respoke espadrilles. Designer Michael Tonello imaginatively recycles vintage Hermès, Gucci, and Pucci silk scarves into espadrilles. « 110 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

WORLD BRUCE BIERMAN AND WILLIAM SECORD COMBINE DESIGN DETAILS WITH AN EYE FOR ART IN THEIR WEST PALM BEACH PENTHOUSE

Nestled on the thirtieth floor, the home of art dealer William Secord (opposite page, left) and interior designer Bruce Bierman boasts amazing views and beautifully marries their individual interests.

Bierman sought to evoke the feel of a 1930s yacht in his interior design. The living room features custom furniture by Bierman and art selected by Secord, including a nineteenth-century deerhound and terrier portrait by Gourlay Steell.

W

hen interior designer Bruce Bierman first walked into the penthouse apartment at 529 South Flagler in West Palm Beach, he very nearly made an about-face and walked right back out again.

It wasn’t just the “frightening” 1980s decor in mauve and seafoam green, or even the interior walls blocking the view encompassing the Intracoastal, most of Palm Beach Island, and the ocean beyond. It was that some of the exterior walls were not on right angles to each other, says his husband, art dealer William Secord.

“We almost didn’t get the apartment because Bruce didn’t like the angle of the wall in two of the rooms.”

Since that fateful day 14 years ago, the couple has managed to marry art and geometry to create the perfect design for the thirtieth-floor aerie. After Bierman recovered from his initial reaction to the apartment, he quickly envisioned the possibilities. Donning his architect hat, he gutted and reworked the space first, removing interior walls and opening the 2,500-square-

foot apartment up to the stunning vista on three sides. He couldn’t change the 45-degree angle of the windows on the exterior walls in the kitchen and library, so he designed around them. Using an all-white interior to make the walls and floors recede allowed him to pull the view to the forefront.

“The space tells me what the design should be, and it’s hard to fight that view,” Bierman notes. The top-floor vista only enhances the feeling of being in the clouds, he adds. “Because the penthouse address is P1E, or ‘pie,’ we call it our ‘pie in the sky.’”

West Palm Beach wasn’t even on their radar when the couple, who own a loft in the Flatiron district of Manhattan and a beach house on Fire Island, decided to purchase a condo in the area to be near some of Bierman’s clients. They were renting a carriage house in the estate section of Palm Beach and hoped to stay on the island, but condo buildings that

112_BIERMAN_0321-3.indd 115

allowed dogs proved elusive. So they “crossed over,” as Secord says, to West Palm Beach. Since then, they have come to love it. “It’s a small city, but it’s like a community,” he notes. “We can walk to everything: a couple of blocks one way to get croissants and The New York Times and a few blocks the other way to the grocery store.”

Bierman, owner of Bruce Bierman Design and a 2000 inductee into the Interior Design Hall of Fame, fashioned an efficient interior that’s reminiscent of a 1930s yacht: rich with ribbon stripe mahogany, Makassar accents, and cleverly hidden storage. Unobtrusive doors slide over the open-concept kitchen cabinets, hiding them from the living area. Another door ingeniously rotates out from a wall in the entryway to seamlessly block the master suite, library/guest room, and two bathrooms from the main living area.

The limited use of materials and colors gives the apartment its sleek, slightly masculine look. “I like my design to whisper rather than shout,” Bierman says. The couple filled the apartment with elegant Art Deco furniture collected on their yearly trips to Paris and adorned the walls with art curated by Secord, president of The William Secord Gallery in Manhattan, an author, and a foremost expert on nineteenth- and twentiethcentury dog and animal paintings.

To satisfy Bierman’s quest for straight lines, the white floors are a mosaic of 4-foot square glass slabs—all aligned at right angles to the doorways and built-in cabinetry. Efficiency of design shows up in the kitchen cabinets and pantry shelves, built 30 to 36 inches deep rather than the typical 24 inches, offering loads of storage space. “This apartment is an OCD person’s dream,” Bierman says.

The island in the kitchen is mystery white Italian marble that seems to float atop a pedestal, rendering it an unobtrusive divider between kitchen and dining room. “The idea behind this apartment fits into my philosophy

of how I design,” says Bierman. “I call it the psychology of space. Most people don’t use their home efficiently. They say they want extra room and I show them they already have the space they need.” He also stays away from what he calls “occasion-driven” design, favoring more quotidian decor. “Clients come to us with a game plan for entertaining, but 95 percent of the time, it’s just them and how they live every day that matters.” Though the penthouse easily adapts to entertaining, the design is all about accommodating the two of them. “I find that we use every single part of the apartment and that makes it feel larger than 2,500 square feet,” Bierman says. “It just works so well for us.”

In the living area adjacent to the kitchen, Bierman custom designed the upholstered furniture—including the 12-foot-long couch—in neutral shades of taupe. He also designed the 8-foot-long coffee table, which required a steel-rod reinforcement down the center to prevent it from sagging when stacked with an array of books. “I like to have a book near me instead of on a bookshelf,” Bierman says. “I didn’t watch TV during

Above and right: The kitchen is incredibly sleek and demure. An island made from mystery white Italian marble separates the area from the dining room. Plentiful pantry and cabinet storage makes the apartment an “OCD person’s dream,” says Bierman.

[the COVID-19 pandemic]. Instead, I’d choose a book to read.”

The intentionally oversized sofa and coffee table that invite relaxation also ironically make the small space appear bigger, he explains. “When you walk into this room and see the large couch and table, you think the room has to be large.” A ventless, white glass–slabbed, oil-burning fireplace separates the living room from the dining area. Over the sofa, Secord chose an imposing painting of a deerhound and a terrier by a favorite artist of Queen Victoria, the Scottish nineteenth-century painter Gourlay Steell.

Opposite the entryway, the room with those first-look troubling angles became the library/guest room and a sanctuary for Secord, housing some of his collection of books on dog paintings, which at one time numbered

2,000. It’s also a quiet place to write. Secord is the author of five books and numerous articles, including his first book, “Dog Painting, 1840 to 1940, now in its sixth printing and featuring a foreword by the late Brooke Astor.

The nearby master suite features a high-gloss mahogany headboard and, of course, a dog painting—this one of a Weimaraner by contemporary artist Christine Merrill. “Bruce loves taupe, so I found a painting of a taupe dog,” Secord jokes. A freestanding tub in the master bath looks out over the view.

The toilet in both the apartment’s bathrooms is in its own space (“I have a thing about hiding toilets,” Bierman notes) and the custom sink cabinets have deep, capacious drawers for storage. A mirror designed by Stanford White hangs above the master bath vanity, flanked by Art Deco designer

Above and right: The master bedroom includes a mahogany headboard and a range of linens in a crisp taupe hue. To complement this color scheme, Secord selected a painting of a Weimaraner. While Secord specializes in animal artworks from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this portrait is a contemporary piece by Christine Merrill.

Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann sconces from the 1930s, purchased in Paris.

With its quiet decor and ease of design, the penthouse echoes the way the couple lives, Bierman says.

Having been together for more than 25 years, they are attuned to each other’s taste and defer to the other’s expertise. “I had veto power on the design and Bruce had veto power over the art,” Secord says, adding that neither needed to exercise that power during this project.

His favorite area in the penthouse? The living room, where he can enjoy the tableau of nature outside. The floor-to-ceiling sliding doors allow him to see the ocean from wherever he sits. “I could watch the changing color and mood of the ocean forever; it goes from green to blue to black,” he says. For Bierman, the apartment represents a showcase of 20 years of happy recollections. “Almost everything in the apartment brings back a memory of where we bought it and what we were doing at the time, and that’s so wonderful,” he says. “We have a privileged life and we’re very fortunate.”« PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | MARCH 2021

There are times when you just want to embrace excess. Like renting that lime-green Lamborghini for the day, or splurging on dinner at The Breakers for 20 of your best friends. That same urge applies to chartering the 78-foot Sexy by Lazzara Yachts. Reserve for half a day, a full day, or a whole week, and she’ll take you anywhere at a speedy 27 knots. With her lipstick-red upholstery, silver lamé sofas, and red and black galley, there’s a definite Don Johnson–Miami Vice vibe. What fun for an Austin Powers–themed party or far-out birthday treat. She can carry up to 13 guests for a sunset cruise or sleep up to eight in four staterooms. Based out of Boca Raton, Sexy charters through Moran Yachts from $6,000 a day. (moranyachts.com)

Doesn’t every superyacht come with its own three-person SportSub submersible to take you 130 feet down into the deep, blue yonder? Seems not. But the 145-foot, Cheoy Lee–built Island Heiress does. It’s just one of the amazing watersport toys that come with this elegant globe-trotter.

Imagine the fun you’ll have zooming down the yacht’s inflatable waterslide, then hoisting yourself back up via the inflatable climbing wall. To get you to those remote Bahamian dive spots, Island Heiress offers a 34-foot center console tender and 20-foot RIB, plus trained dive instructors among the crew of 10 to lead you on underwater adventures. Refitted in 2019, she has space for 12 in six cabins. Based out of Nassau, the yacht charters through Hill Robinson in the Bahamas from $110,000 a week. (hillrobinson.com)

As the saying goes, life’s too short to charter an ugly yacht. And the 140-foot Fabulous Character is sure to make any sailor’s heart soar.

Winner of a coveted World Superyacht Award for exterior design, this Holland Jachtbouw–built masterpiece oozes sophistication from every porthole. She’s made for relaxation, with an interior layout that can accommodate 10 guests in five staterooms with pampering from a crew of nine. The classic ambience continues inside, inclusive of French

Provençal finishes and lovely weathered limed oak. And to ensure total comfort at anchor, this blue-hulled beauty comes with zero-speed stabilizers to reduce the chance of whitecaps forming on your martini.

There is also an on-board gym, stand-up paddleboards, water skis, and even an inflatable sailing dinghy. Her favored cruising grounds are the Northern and Central Caribbean, where she charters through Camper & Nicholsons from $150,000 a week. (camperandnicholsons.com)

4 A TOUCH OF

Class

Who can forget the iconic “I’m flying” scene in Titanic when Leo and Kate stood on the bow of the doomed liner? You can pretty much experience the same kind of thrill from the comfy, farfar-forward sunpad of the Touch motor yacht. It’s perhaps the coolest spot on this 120-footer to feel at one with the ocean—especially when she’s at her 12-knot cruising speed. Touch is a true grown-up’s vessel, with seductive staterooms (all beds are king-sized with not a single bunk in sight) and service that’s described as “six star.” The only dilemma will be determining who gets the owner’s stateroom, complete with a private deck and spiral staircase as well as a bathroom bedecked in marble, gold leaf, and Lalique glass. Touch charters through Camper & Nicholsons around the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and the Leeward, Windward, and Virgin Islands from $80,000 a week. (camperandnicholsons.com)

130_YACHT_0321.indd 133

Only use a professional charter broker. For luxury charters, it’s key to use a broker who’s a member of the International Yacht Brokers Association.

They’ll have knowledge and experience of the yachts with the best crews, chefs, and toys, and can steer you to the best destinations. They’ll also be there if anything goes wrong.

2

Know how much it will cost.

The weekly charter price is only a fraction of what you’ll pay. Add-on costs include fuel, docking, food and drink, tax, and tips for the crew. These can often add between 30 and 35 percent to the charter.

3

Plan your route. Some charter yachts are faster than others. If you have a wish list of beaches or ports you want to hit, make sure you know—with the help of a broker—whether the yachts on your short list have the speed to get there.

4

It’s all about the toys. Most luxury yachts will offer a selection of toys to enjoy; Jet Skis, paddleboards, and fast tenders are the usuals. But some yachts go the extra mile and come with the very latest in water toys, like Flyboards, kite boards, mini-submarines, electric Foilboards, and climbing walls. Just make sure the crew is proficient in teaching how to use them.

5

Don’t watch any episodes of Below Deck. The Bravo reality show chronicling the lives of crew members on a charter superyacht is just that—a reality show. Most of it is just acting.

Have a spare $1.2 million burning a hole in your chinos? Because that’s what it costs—plus expenses, naturally—to charter the 312-foot gigayacht Kismet for a truly unforgettable week cruising the Caribbean.

Owned by Jacksonville Jaguars principal and Naples resident Shahid Khan (who’s worth $7.8 billion according to Forbes) Kismet was built back in 2014 by the legendary German shipyard Lürssen. There are not enough superlatives in Webster’s to fully describe the hedonistic luxury of this floating palace. With interior design by Laura Sessa, Kismet’s style is a jaw-dropping mix of Japanese and Art Deco. There are seven cabins for 12 guests, and a crew of 28 to look after your every whim, wish, or want. If you love the experience, ask nicely and you could take her home; yes, Kismet is for sale, though it’s definitely “price upon application.” For those interested in a test drive, charter bookings are handled through Moran Yacht & Ship in Fort Lauderdale.

From the 37foot Boston Whaler in tow to its armada of Jet Skis, Sea-Doos, SeaBobs, paddleboards, glass-bottom kayaks, kite surfers, and eFoil surfboards, Trending has it all. The superyacht also boasts its own kite surfing and PADI-certified dive instructors. On board there’s room for 12 in six chic

cabins, with a crew of 11 including a Michelin-star-trained chef. And as part of her facelift, Trending is now loaded with the latest audio, video, and WiFi systems that make it easy for guests to sync and share music, videos, or images from their smartphones. Trending cruises the Caribbean and charters through Camper & Nicholsons from $210,000 a week. (camperandnicholsons.com)

With 17 yachts to choose from, Miami-based Golden Yacht Charters claims to have the largest charter fleet in South Florida. While its flagship is a sleek, 116-foot, Italian-built Azimut superyacht, it’s the “baby” of the family, the stealthy VanDutch 40 Black, that’s guaranteed to turn heads when cruising along the Intracoastal. With seats for up to 10 guests and a captain at the helm to keep you in the channel, the VanDutch is an ideal day-tripper. And with a small cabin complete with a fridge, microwave, and sink, this speed demon makes for great alfresco dining. If black isn’t your color, Golden Yacht Charters have a second VanDutch 40 that’s Ferrari red.

Charters start at $3,000 a day. (goldenyachtcharters.com)

If you really want to arrive in the Bahamas in time for lunch, the 108-foot Sunseeker Predator Double D can get you there in a hurry. With a crazy-fast top speed of 45 knots, Double D will ferry you from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini in less than 90 minutes. Once there, you can spend a week at a gentler pace, luxuriating on the yacht’s multiple sunpads or catching another amazing sunset on the sprawling foredeck. Down below, there are four lavish staterooms to accommodate up to eight guests in air-conditioned bliss.

Living the good life on a superyacht while you cruise the Bahamas doesn’t mean you can’t stay in shape. The 213-foot Eternity comes with a dedicated sundeck gym with everything from a punching bag to yoga mats to a stationary bike. Plus, there’s a huge foredeck Jacuzzi that doubles as a resistance pool. Completely refitted and repainted from stem to stern in 2018, this Italian-built Codecasa can sleep 12 in seven cabins.

The highlights of the stunning master suite include an adjoining office and a fold-out balcony. If you love the artwork—which is updated twice annually—you can take it home with you, for a fee, of course. Eternity spends summers and winters in the Bahamas and charters through Burgess from $392,000 a week. (burgessyachts.com) «

HOME GOURMET

GET FRESH

Like all businesses that had to rethink their models during the pandemic, Fresh Rx pivoted from farm-to-table fundraising dinners to private dining experiences that bring the farm to your home. The initiative, which was founded on the belief that diet is fundamental to overall health, is now delivering chefprepared, four-course meals via the Farm to Your Doorstep program.

As the name suggests, each meal is delivered to your door, with every component properly portioned, labeled, and packaged. A handy instruction sheet demystifies the heating and plating process, allowing anyone to assemble a restaurant-quality dish.

145_TASTELISTINGS_0321.indd 145

A recent meal, prepared by chefs Jimmy Everett of Driftwood and Michael Hackman of Aioli, included a trio of appetizers, a harvest salad with Fresh Rx’s excellent fig balsamic dressing, and entrees like grilled broccoli steak with local mushrooms and local cobia and romesco with roasted turnips, bok choy, and seaweed chimichurri.

Hackman’s peppermint cheesecake (if it isn’t world-famous, it should be) and a spiced berry cordial by mixologist Jules Aron rounded out the menu, which was as satisfying as it was virtuous.

Fresh Rx is also rolling out a Chef-to-Table Experience, a private chef dinner prepared in home, and a Virtual Cooking Experience, an indepth lesson with celebrity chef Marc Murphy. (freshrx.org) —Daphne Nikolopoulos

TASTE Q&A

SECOND ACT Originally from Massachusetts, chef Glenn Rogers began his restaurant career at age 16 as a dishwasher at IHOP. After moving to Florida in 2012, he worked at Palm Beach restaurants such as Buccan and Meat Market. In December, he became executive chef of Johnnie Brown’s, ushering in a new culinary era at this live music favorite Glenn Rogers along Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue. PBI recently caught up with Rogers to discuss his background and vision for the restaurant. (johnniebrowns.com) —Mark Spivak PBI: When did you decide to become a chef?

Rogers: It was just a job at first, but I fell in love with it after I came to Florida. The turning point was when I was on the opening team at Meat Market; they were doing such amazing things, both from a perspective of presentation and flavor. I realized then that cooking could be an art. Working with chefs such as Clay Conley and Pushkar Marathe had a great impact on me.

Johnnie Brown’s is very different from the restaurants you trained at. Why did you decide to take on the role of executive chef?

I was terrified when I was offered the job because I had heard horror stories. But then I did some research on Clique Hospitality, their new management group, and realized that our values were the same. They want to present the best possible product, and they don’t cut corners.

Tuna poke bowl

What are some of the changes you’re making?

We now have a tuna poke bowl on the menu, which is something you wouldn’t have seen before.

We also have a number of vegan options. But our staple is still wings—we have the greatest range of different treatments in the area. They’re triple-cooked for tenderness; we first cure them to remove the moisture, and then they’re baked and fried. You have your choice of seven or eight delicious sauces.

TO TRY PURA VIDA Can fast food be healthy? In December, the husband-and-wife team of Jennifer and Omer Horev, owners of Miami-based Pura Vida cafés, opened their first Palm Beach County location in Rosemary Square. Inspired by their travels and Israeli-born Omer’s Mediterranean roots, the menu features all-day breakfast as well as an assortment of fresh juices, superfood smoothies, sandwiches, and organic açai bowls. “We want our dishes to be delicious, nutritious, and filled with rich, bright colors,” says Jennifer. “We are constantly inspired by the bounty of South Florida, using fresh and locally sourced ingredients when available.” (puravidamiami.com)

Do you sometimes feel that you’re competing with the live music?

There’s an element of theater to what we do in the kitchen. One of our specialties is the Shipwreck Platter, an assortment of appetizers served in a sushi boat. It comes to the table with a sparkler and a lot of fanfare.

What’s your goal at Johnnie Brown’s?

The restaurant is an iconic music venue, but we also want people to come for the food. From where we started to where we are now, it’s literally night and day. But we’re just beginning. We have a long way to go to elevate ourselves.

CHARLIE & JOE’S AT LOVE STREET Joe Namath proved there was life after football when he partnered with developer Charles Modica to open Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street in Jupiter’s Inlet Village. The complex encompasses three restaurants—Beacon (a contemporary American grill), Lucky Shuck (an oyster bar), and Topside (featuring rooftop tapas)—as well as The Tacklebox, a seafood market. A complete hospitality experience, Charlie & Joe’s reflects the pair’s love affair with Jupiter’s waterfront lifestyle. “We’re trying to enhance the community for the locals and visitors who come to our town,” says Namath. Modica agrees: “We are not silent owners. We live in the community, and when we go there we have a sense of pride.” (lovestreetjupiter.com) —M.S.

SIP WITH PBI

Spring has arrived in Palm Beach. Time to say goodbye to the cozy elegance of winter libations and let the spirit of vernal cocktails bloom. One magnificent springtime celebration is the Sakura Hanami, the Japanese practice of viewing the blossoming cherry trees.

To welcome the season and honor the Jules Aron tradition, this month’s cocktail comes directly from the pages of my newly published book, Low-Proof Happy Hour, your guide to low-alcohol cocktails for times when you’d prefer to keep things light while still enjoying a proper drink.

Enter: The Sakura Mule. Featuring a sweet, fragrant syrup of sakura blossoms, this elegant libation adds a soft, intoxicating zing to a mule. It is made low proof by substituting the vodka with shochu, a Japanese spirit distilled on a base of sweet potato, barley, rice, buckwheat, and/or sugar cane, and clocking in at half the alcohol of most high-proof spirits. You can mix the syrup directly into the drink or freeze it into ice cubes and let it melt for a subtle burst of flavor. —Jules Aron

Sakura Mule Ingredients (serves 1) 1/2 oz. Sakura Syrup 1 oz. lime juice 2 oz. shochu 4 oz. ginger beer

Steep the tea in the boiling water for 15 minutes to make a strong infusion. Combine the infusion and sugar in a pan and heat until boiled, stirring to allow the sugar to dissolve evenly.

Strain into a sealable glass container. The syrup can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

This delicate and delicious sweetener tastes as good on pancakes as it does in drinks.

EDITORS’ PICKS

FRENCH FRIES Grease Burger Bar Daphne Nikolopoulos, Editor in Chief Fans of thick-cut, skin-on wedge, or crinkle fries, you can stop reading. But if you appreciate the delicate, crispy texture of a pile of shoestrings hot from the fryer, this post is for you. For the holy grail of shoestring fries, head to Grease and order a batch of russet potato fries. Marvel at their thin, almost elegant shape. Swoon over the just-enough potato taste that enhances but doesn’t overpower the burger. I happen to be a purist, but if you think more is more, opt for the loaded OMG cheese fries or the “famous” truffle Parmesan fries. You really can’t go wrong. West Palm Beach (greasewpb.com) The Office Mary Murray, Executive Editor For me, a burger and fries is a last-meal-worthy treat. The Office boasts an array of guilty-pleasure burgers, but I especially appreciate this hip gastropub’s veggie burger, a quinoa and lentil patty topped with an umami bomb of confit onions. What puts this meal over the top, though, are The Office’s fries, which I love dipping in the signature Office sauce, a slightly spicy yet light remoulade. If you look up the definition of “french fries” in the dictionary, you’re sure to find a picture of these perfectly crispy, divinely salted, hand-cut beauties. Delray Beach (theofficedelray.com)

DEATH OR GLORY This gastropub prioritizes outstanding cocktails and new-wave bar bites. 116 N.E. 6th Ave., Delray Beach (deathorglorybar.com) $$ FARMER’S TABLE This farm-to-table establishment is committed to clean eating. 951 N. US Hwy. 1, North Palm Beach; 1901 N. Military Trail, Boca Raton (farmerstableboca.com) $$ GALLEY Stop by this restaurant in the Hilton West Palm Beach for grilled delicacies with a coastal flair.

Pistache French Bistro Kristen Desmond LeFevre, Senior Editor France invented fries, so it’s no wonder Pistache serves up the most authentic version around.

Stop by for the restaurant’s two-for-$20 happy hour (held daily from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.) and make the large fries your first choice. Pick two sauces from six offerings—the roasted garlic and basil aioli and the au poivre are my go-tos.

These crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside shoestring fries arrive in an oversized paper cone of deliciousness. Pro-tip: Select the moules marinière as your second plate to score yet another sauce in which to dip your fries, making for the ultimate French frites fest. West Palm Beach (pistachewpb.com) Darbster Mark Spivak, Wine & Spirits Editor If you’re passionate about fries and need a change of pace, head to Darbster. This creative, plant-based bistro serves its gluten-free sweet potato fries with a smoked paprika aioli to balance the natural richness of the tubers. Sweet potatoes are high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, and beta-carotene, which may assuage any guilt you feel about fried food. West Palm Beach (darbster.com)

A handful of top-quality distillers are reintroducing the world to Irish whiskey

By Mark Spivak Spirits have exploded in quality over the past three or four decades and attained an aura of connoisseurship, something previously reserved for wine. However, despite being affordable and easy to drink, Irish whiskey traditionally lagged far behind, dominated by massmarket brands.

The situation is rapidly changing. Irish whiskey is the fastest-growing spirit in the world today, and the best examples are on par with the finest single-malt Scotch, premium tequila, or single-barrel bourbon. New distilleries are launching and releasing exciting expressions that combine extended aging with experimental barrel treatment. Here, we highlight some lesser-known brands worth investigating.

HOME

By Liza Grant Smith

Margaret Kaywell of Kaywell Interiors composed a variation on theme within these bedrooms. “We reorganized the placement of the blues and neutrals in each room, but both spaces have the same elements, including the natural touches, subtle coastal references, and classic motifs,” Kaywell explains.

In the master bedroom, Kaywell’s key inspiration was the Thibaut wallpaper. Its woven texture and blurred striped pattern bring a softness to the room and create an apropos backdrop for the beamed and boarded ceiling as well as the combination of a bed, nightstands, and a chair in white and ivory tones. “My favorite part of this room is the wallpaper, but the bed with suede straps over a driftwood frame is just gorgeous,” says Kaywell. “And what about that green lamp in a fabulous shape just to add a bit of fun?”

For the second bedroom, she took a pair of dark stained mirrors from her client’s house up north and reimagined them with a cream hue that was more fitting to this home’s vibe.

Hung over each bed, they mimic the look of portholes. A custom-painted chest serves as a lovely focal point and offers a colorful contrast to the wicker and rattan accents. West Palm Beach (kaywellinteriors.com)

Practice these professional organization hacks for an INSTAGRAM-WORTHY pantry and fridge For the past 10 years, Korinne Kubena Belock and her team at Urban Simplicity have been making people’s organizational dreams come true. Belock left her career spearheading campaigns and operations for politicos like Mike Bloomberg to help clients in New York and Palm Beach organize their homes, workspaces, and lives. Below, she shares her best strategies for boosting the efficiency of your pantry and fridge. (urbansimplicity.co)

What is a common mistake people make in their fridge organization?

Many people forget to clean all surfaces of the fridge. The perfect time to do so is when you’re getting organized. Ivey Leidy (livingwithivey.com), a healthy-living lifestyle expert, recommends a nontoxic, all-purpose cleaner made from half of a cup distilled white vinegar, 1 and a half cups filtered water, and 20 drops of essential oils with natural antibacterial properties like lavender, peppermint, lemon, tea tree, cedar wood, eucalyptus, or cinnamon.

URBAN SIMPLICITY

What is a favorite strategy you employ in your fridge organization projects?

Just like your closet or pantry, think about organizing your fridge into zones. Keep items you use every day at eye level. Save upper and lower shelves for lesser-used items.

A fridge comes with shelves and drawers, but what other organizational elements should people add to maximize effectiveness?

Use bins to maintain freshness for eggs, berries, and produce. Use portable bins for categories like yogurt and snacks. Go vertical with stacking bins on fridge shelves to maximize space. When possible, use glass jars and decanters for dressings, sauces, and beverages for a

URBAN SIMPLICITY

PBI: Within the fridge, why and how should you separate food into categories?

Belock: A main way to maintain fridge organization and to prevent overbuying at the grocery store is to create categories. Examples include fresh fruits, veggies, meats, cheeses, condiments, breakfast, beverages, and leftovers. But don’t stop there! Create categories within condiments, too, such as dressings and everyday-use items like mustard, as well as for cuisine types like Asian, Mexican, and Italian.

uniform look. A lazy Susan (or turntable) is an efficient way to organize everyday beverages like milk, juice, or iced coffee so they are front and center. If you need to store beverage cans in your fridge, a soda can organizer is a major space saver. All these products are available at The Container Store (containerstore.com).

What items take up unnecessary space in a fridge?

Always remove items from their original packaging when possible to save space. You’ll also be able to easily see your supply.

What’s your overall approach to the layout of a pantry?

First things first: Sort like with like and group items together. Examples of categories include grains, salty snacks, savory snacks, sauces, and condiments. As with the fridge, keep items you use every day at eye level, and save upper and lower shelves for lesser-used items.

What organizational accessories do you recommend in a pantry?

Go vertical inside cabinets to maximize space. Stacking bins, rising shelves, and a double-decker lazy Susan are great for canned goods, condiments, and spices. Use portable bins for go-to spices, oils, and vinegars. Remove items from packaging, particularly pasta, grains, nuts, and snacks, and put

160 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

000_HOME2_0321.indd 160

1/29/21 12:16 PM

them into airtight containers to save space. For larger categories of items like snacks, breakfast foods, and baking use baskets or clear bins.

What are your thoughts on labeling?

The more labels the better! Since every member of the family accesses the pantry, labels are key to keeping things organized. Group items by type, use a bin to contain them, and then label the outside of each bin. It’s helpful to label jars individually since it can be hard to identify items once they are decanted. You only need to label expiration dates for things you don’t use up quickly like sugar, flour, and spices. Write the expiration date on a piece of masking tape on the bottom of each jar.

What is a common mistake people make in pantry organization?

The most common mistake is failing to edit. Always declutter first and start with unused items and expired food. You’ll likely come across duplicate

items in your pantry. One major advantage to an organized pantry is saving money by not purchasing duplicates.

URBAN SIMPLICITY

What types of food should be put into transparent containers and what can be left in its original packaging?

It’s best to decant things like cereal, pasta, grains, nuts, and certain snacks into airtight containers. You can keep some categories like kids’ snacks, chips, and pretzels in their original packaging but remove any items from boxes to save space. If you don’t decant things, use a larger bin to keep those items grouped together.

When it comes to organizing snacks, what do you suggest for households with kids?

This depends on your kids’ ages and your day-to-day family schedule. If your children are a bit older, it’s definitely smart to set up an easily accessible snack area. If your children are younger, keep snacks on a higher shelf so you can manage their access. In the fridge, keep fresh fruit and veggies washed and easily accessible on a lower shelf to encourage healthy snacking. In a pantry, use clear bins to keep snacks organized by type and always remove them from their original packaging so you can see what you have.

HANG IN THERE Ellen Kavanaugh and Madison Way of Ellen Kavanaugh Interiors infused this space with lounging allure. “Our goal was an informal aesthetic that offsets the formal proportions we had to work with,” says Kavanaugh.

“Ultimately, we were creating a groovy, laid-back space for listening to music, watching movies with the entire fam, or simply lounging around with a great book. The wainscoting and grasscloth broke up the elevation, giving us a chance to install a very low, deep, ‘sink-into’ type of sectional from Holly Hunt in Miami.

Additionally, we created a gigantic round ottoman—big enough to dance on—paired with two plush navy velvet swivel chairs. The art installed from Brintz Gallery topped it off by adding that unexpected punch of color and character every space needs.” Palm Beach (ellenkavanaugh.com)

WELLNESS

POWER NAP

When we were children, naps seemed like a punishment. As adults, however, the idea of a mid-afternoon siesta often feels like a coveted opportunity.

In fact, napping actually comes with myriad benefits, notes Dr. Darryl Appleton, an internationally recognized sleep disorder expert and founder of the Appleton Clinic in Boca Raton and Toronto. For healthy adults, napping supports relaxation, stress relief, reduced fatigue, enhanced energy, and increased alertness. According to some studies, naps may decrease risk of cardiovascular events and improve mood and performance.

185_BALANCE_0321-2.indd 185

That being said, napping may also result in sleep inertia (where an individual is groggy and disoriented after waking) or difficulty falling asleep at night. Determining which group you fall into is dependent upon understanding whether you are experiencing healthy daytime fatigue or a condition that may need medical attention.

“If one has a very good reason for fatigue or if longer sleep times help, then sleep deprivation or insufficient sleep are the most likely cause,” says Appleton. “However, if one has unrefreshing sleep despite a good amount of sleep in the night or has excessive sleepiness or fatigue, it is a good idea to go to a health care provider or sleep doctor and make sure there are no medical or psychological reasons contributing to those issues.”

BALANCE hours; social media plays a role, as well as waking up early for classes.”

2

Do aim for early afternoon.

“Taking naps in the early afternoon when we have a natural circadian rhythm dip is usually best. This is why, in many cultures, a siesta nap is done after a large meal. Napping after 3 p.m. may interfere with nighttime sleep. Individual factors, such as your need for sleep, age, medication use, and sleeping schedule can play a role in determining the best time of day to nap.”

POWER Nap Cont.

1

Don’t let naptime run too long.

“Aim for a nap to last only 10 to 30 minutes,” says Appleton. “The longer you nap, the more likely you are to feel groggy afterward and potentially affect your ability to fall asleep easily that night. However, young adults might be able to tolerate longer naps. Many of them are sleep-deprived, as their body clocks generally have them not being tired until late

3

Don’t feel like you need to mimic your nighttime sleeping environment.

“Some people nap best where they have their usual bedtime environment, but often times a short nap can occur during a break at work. Try to create a restful environment. Nap in a cool, dark place with a comfortable room temperature, where it is quiet. Make sure to set an alarm so as to ensure not oversleeping. Some people don’t sleep well in their normal bedtime place, so for them sleeping in

a different environment may actually help them sleep better as they have classical conditioning to not sleep well in their bedroom.”

4

Do give yourself some post-nap adjustment time.

“After napping, make sure to give yourself a bit of time to wake up before resuming activities—particularly those that require quick or sharp reflexes as there is the possibility of sleep inertia, where one can be a bit groggy when first waking up. This is particularly true if they wake up out of slow-wave deep sleep (stage 3), which usually occurs in the evening at the beginning of the night or if they sleep too long in their naps.”

5

Don’t wait until you’re already sleepdeprived.

“If you are aware that there will be impending sleep loss (such as a long trip or long work shift), it is a good idea to take a short nap prior to the sleep loss as this will help prevent sleep deprivation, which for many people is hard to ‘catch up’ on. These are called prophylactic naps and can help keep you more alert and focused.”

Michiko Kurisu, co-founder and director of the Swinton Community Growing Project in Delray Beach, notes that this little garden that could has been a long time in the making. She began the organic community garden in 2008, and has since adopted a permaculturebased model of cooperative gardening and created a food forest.

Permaculture looks to natural ecosystems and upholds sustainable models of agriculture in order to care for the planet. Within the Swinton Community Growing Project, the volunteer-run garden includes a variety of tropical perennials and almost everything is safe to eat.

“Our food forest is an edible landscape intended to nurture the regenerative patterns found in nature,” explains Kurisu. “In a healthy wild forest, the trees and plants find their niches among layers of light and shade, root depths, moisture, and airflow.

BUTTERFLY PEA VINE: A traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, the luminous blue butterfly pea vine has been used for centuries as a memory enhancer, brain booster, and an anti-stress and calming agent.

Its flowers have a sweet, mild taste and can be fried or used to make a vibrant-colored tea.

Michiko Kurisu runs the Swinton Community Growing Project, which includes a food forest rich in nutritious ingredients.

We attempt to create this kind of diversity and balance with edible plants. Zero-waste is also a goal, and we work to reintegrate as much plant material as possible back into the soil.”

The Swinton Community Growing Project offers educational workshops and pop-up events. It has also partnered with chef and nutritional health coach Ryann Morris of Food Brilliance to host cooking classes and develop recipes utilizing healing plants from the food forest. Below, we spotlight some edibles currently growing. (facebook.com/swintoncgp) —L.G.S.

KATUK: Half of the katuk’s nutrition comes from protein. In addition, a 100-gram serving of katuk provides more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin C needs. Its taste is like that of peas, with a slight nutty flavor.

The seeds make great garnishes, while the leaves can be added to anything from green smoothies to scrambled eggs and curry dishes.

MORINGA: Used for centuries for its medicinal properties, moringa is rich in antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds. It is also thought to help relieve menopause symptoms and aid new mothers in the production of breast milk. Its slightly bitter leaves are good in soups, stews, and stir-fries.

CRANBERRY HIBISCUS: The leaves and blooms of this shrub are edible and contain antioxidants, calcium, iron, and vitamins B2, B3, and C. The flowers are used more for their color than taste. The leaves have a tart flavor. Incorporate the flowers into drinks like lemonade, tea, or creative cocktails.

The leaves can be added to salads or stir-fries.

PURSLANE: This veggie boasts only 16 calories and is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. It is high in omega-3 fatty acids and loaded with antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin C. It is akin to spinach and watercress, with a slightly sour or salty taste. Use it as you would lettuce or sauté it as a side dish.

TULSI: Closely related to culinary basil, tulsi (also known as holy basil) is typically used in alternative medicine to relieve anxiety, stress, and fatigue. It is similar to traditional basil but stronger in flavor, with clove-like notes and hints of mint and spice. Brew tulsi in tea or use it to make an infused honey.

In 2004, Anis Lacerte decided to close her medical spa in Delray Beach and focus on creating a plant-based skin care and cosmetics line. Using the Ayurvedic, aromatherapy, and plant medicine training she received in France, Lacerte worked with chemists, plastic surgeons, cancer patients, and burn survivors to develop Boca Raton–based I’m Fabulous. “I’m Fabulous cosmetic skin care is free of the harsh and harmful chemicals that plague other skin care lines,” says Lacerte. “Most importantly, these products penetrate the skin to help create a balance within the cellular walls themselves. With regular use, the result is healthy, glowing skin that defies extrinsic aging.” For those hoping for spa results without stepping foot outside their abode, I’m Fabulous offers the At Home Med Spa ($799), which includes the Luxe Cleanser, Wild Berry Honey Exfoliator, Pink Detox Glow Mask, Bio Gorgeous Peel High Tech Copper Peptide Serum, and Organic Luxurious Serum.

TO TRY COOL CUSTOMER What: The Cryo Skin Facial Where: Restore Wellness, Palm Beach Gardens, Delray Beach, Boca Raton Cost: $185 Intrigued by full-body cryotherapy (which Restore Wellness also offers) but not ready to take the subzero plunge? Restore’s Cryo Skin Facial is a refreshing way to reap the benefits of cold-induced vasodilation (widening of the blood vessels) on your face. Using a smooth, chilled wand, your technician will sculpt your jaw, cheeks, forehead, and neck as you relax under a cozy blanket.

The drop in temperature and resulting increase in blood flow boosts oxygen supply and aids collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and pores. Best of all? There’s no harsh chemicals and zero downtime. For optimum results, Restore recommends a series of four to five weekly treatments, followed by one treatment a month for maintenance. (restore.com)

HELPING HANDS What: Hand Rejuvenation Where: Lickstein Plastic Surgery, Palm Beach Gardens Cost: $1,500 for fillers, $250 for BroadBand Light therapy (BBL) You can turn back the clock with all manner of facial treatments.

But if your hands give away your age, the staff at Lickstein Plastic Surgery can help. They strategically inject dermal fillers to restore volume to your hands immediately, giving them a plumper, more youthful appearance. Want to take even more years off? Lickstein can resurface your hands using state-of-the-art BroadBand Light therapy. After the application of a topical anesthetic, you’ll feel a warm snapping sensation that’s almost pleasant—especially as you envision your results: reduced wrinkles, zapped dark spots, faded scars, and improved skin texture. Downtime? It depends on the number of passes (your treatment is tailored to your skin), but plan on a week or two of mild redness before you begin to admire your younger-looking mitts.

Rate of RECOVERY

Assessing the immediate and future economic implications of the pandemic

By Judy Martel

If asked to guess what will go down as the greatest economic impact of 2020, the answer should be pretty obvious. “The [COVID-19] pandemic, by historical standards, presented an unprecedented swing in economic activity this past year,” notes Michael Loewy, an associate professor of economics at the University of South Florida.

From the extreme setback in the stock market in the second quarter, to the loss of jobs and failure of businesses resulting from the forced shutdown, the world took one economic hit after another.

The larger, more difficult question in 2021 is how and when the U.S. and the state will recover from the pandemic-induced recession.

However it happens, it won’t be quick, Loewy believes. Although the stock market and housing market held up relatively well in 2020, they are not necessarily complete and accurate indicators for the future of the economy. The loss of jobs and businesses have a broader reach that will require years of recovery, especially in Florida’s tourismdependent employment market, says Loewy. It’s “pretty likely,” he adds, that over the coming year we’ll experience either a slowdown in the economic recovery or a retraction.

In some ways, Loewy explains, the employment picture will 194 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

000_WEALTH_PBI_0321.indd 194

1/29/21 12:04 PM

change permanently, but that’s not necessarily unusual, even in good times. “Economies are, by nature, changing and adapting all the time.”

We’ve already seen some trends as a result of the pandemic. Many people in white-collar jobs learned that they can work from home, while those in the service and manufacturing sectors saw their jobs replaced by technology or become scarce. That puts immediate pressure on workers to seek training for new positions.

Longer term, Loewy worries about the disruption in primary and secondary education and its potential impact on productivity a decade down the road. Additionally, women, who have been especially hard hit by the pandemic recession,

194_WEALTH_PBI_0321.indd 195

may take more time to recover lost careers. They make up a disproportionate number of workers in the retail and hospitality sectors, which virtually shut down for months last year. Women also typically bear more responsibility for childcare and many quit work to care for their families and oversee homeschooling. “These longer-term impacts have been unfortunate consequences of the pandemic,” Loewy says. “We may not know the effects for decades.”

Interest rates, which have remained essentially unchanged, will probably not rise anytime soon. But despite the low rates, people aren’t in the mood to borrow money while jobs are shaky, and businesses are reluctant to expand during the uncertainty around COVID. “There’s only so much the [Federal Reserve] can do on the monetary side to help the economic recovery,” Loewy says. Further assistance has to come from government rescue programs. The initial stimulus packages to date have introduced some fiscal assistance programs, such as a freeze on evictions for renters, mortgage forbearance, and smallbusiness loans and grants, but they are intended to be short-term remedies.

In Florida, the state budget is already under pressure from the shutdown and subsequent slowdown of one of its largest industries: tourism. Across-the-board cuts have been rippling throughout the state. Lowey has already seen budget decreases of 5 to 8 percent at universities.

“It will be a long recovery for our hotels, restaurants, and theme parks,” he says. The hit to the tourism industry, he adds, “will be tough straits for Florida.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | MARCH 2021

FLORAL Arrangements

Maypops, elderberries, pitcher plants, oh my! It is no surprise why “Florida”—derived from the Spanish word florido, meaning “full of flowers”—came to mind when Juan Ponce de Leon landed on the peninsula in 1513. To celebrate the wonders of the state’s native flora, the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach will host “Wildly Exquisite: Florida’s Native Plants” through April 30. The juried exhibition features the works of 29 lauded artist members of the American Society of Botanical Arts.

Among them is Carol Woodin, the showcase’s organizer and the society’s director of exhibitions, who drew on the unsuspecting intrigue of the maypop passion flower for inspiration. “Wildly Exquisite” will challenge viewers to “see that there is beauty within these species of plants that are not always perceived as being beautiful,” says Amanda Skier, the Preservation

“Wildly Exquisite” includes depictions of maypops

Foundation’s executive director. It will also foster admiration for the native plants that lend character to Palm Beach and are essential to our ecosystem. (palmbeach preservation.org) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | MARCH 2021

SENSE OF SELF

To continue its tradition of showcasing art that moves the masses, New Wave Art Wknd will host Dominican American multidisciplinary artist Joiri Minaya in the third installation of its pioneering artist-inresidence program. Like Renzo Ortega and Estelle Mainsonett before her, Minaya will set up shop in a studio space in Rosemary Square beginning March 1, where she will cull inspiration from the sights, sounds, and people of downtown West Palm Beach.

Minaya’s performative interventions and interactive installations investigate intrapersonal and societal relationships to the female body, with poignant commentary on identity, hierarchies, and multiculturalism’s impact on both. (newwave.art; joiriminaya.com)

IN THE COMMUNITY

These seven cases contain experiences that will never be forgotten.

WHAT YOU SEE HERE:

WHAT YOU DON’T SEE:

Inside these cases are five saxophones, one trumpet, and one cornet — all seven handdelivered to young musicians in our community who can now enjoy the life-changing experience of participating in music.

This is on top of roughly 30 instruments provided to students since the start of the pandemic — and a small piece of our larger educational initiative to benefit the community, which include digital lessons, concerts, hospital visits, and more.

At Palm Beach Symphony, we love nothing better than performing to packed concert halls. But that’s not an option right now. Instead, we’ve been giving back.
