CAPEHART
It started with coral. Earlier this year, I spoke about ancient Greece to a group of sixth graders at Palm Beach Day Academy at the request of history teacher Jonathan Paine. Afterward, Mr. Paine, who’s also a talented documentarian, asked if I’d like to tour the school’s marine science lab, where middle schoolers were growing coral. Obviously, that was a yes—and what I discovered amazed me. Not only were the students monitoring coral species and collecting data, they also were learning how to become global ambassadors for reef conservation. The program went beyond traditional classroom-based education to encompass advocacy for an urgent real-world issue. My tour resulted in a story (see “Save Our Seas,” page 28) and put into motion a long-held idea for the Palm Beach Illustrated Education Awards. PBDA’s Coral Reef Project is one of five candidates for the Outstanding Academic Program Award, which will be announced during the Education Awards dinner on September 20. At the event, we also will honor one exceptional educational institution and name the Educator of the Year. You can meet the five finalists for the latter in our cover feature, “Top of the Class,” on page 48. Each of these individuals is worthy of this accolade. What they stand for—innovative approaches to learning, multidisciplinary methodologies, inspiration that goes beyond the classroom—is making better students, and better people. Our Education Issue also highlights a wildlife conservation program that’s been quietly operating in Loxahatchee for more than 30 years: Rare Species Conservatory Foundation. Paul Reillo and his team have done yeoman’s work to protect endangered species and their habitats, and their efforts have now been amplified by the establishment of the Tropical Conservation Institute in partnership with Florida International University. What will this mean for the future of wildlife and its impact on our planet? Turn to “Animal Instinct” on page 58 and contemplate an answer. I hope you’ll join us in celebrating education in Palm Beach County. Its reach and outcomes are accomplishments to be proud of.

Restored to GLORY After 19 months of careful restoration work, the Gioconda and Joseph King Library has been recast with a nod to the past and a focus on the future. The library, designed by prominent Palm Beach architect Maurice Fatio to house The Society of the Four Arts, first opened its doors in 1938. Additions in 1956 and 1979 did not make efficient use of the building’s limited footprint for the purposes of today and tomorrow, and thus were demolished and reconceived during the recent reconstruction. The King Library makeover brought an overall update to the building, with aims such as increasing the library’s usable space; addressing
025_INSIDER_0919.indd 25
accessibility concerns; installing proper climate control, especially for the rare-book room; and reinstating the intended character of the main reading room. The challenge of making these necessary improvements while honoring the original construction was assigned to Jupiterbased Kirchhoff & Associates Architects. “We are recognized for our historic preservation work in the Town of Palm Beach,” says principal Thomas Kirchhoff. “We have won the Ballinger Award numerous times and have worked on other Fatio designs.” Turn the page to learn more about the new King Library.

The restored King Library features a new entrance that opens into the main reading room (left). It also houses a second-floor discussion forum (above).
One of the most notable changes to the King Library is that patrons again enter the main reading room through the center of the loggia, as was originally intended. From this grand entry point, the view is drawn through the reading room to the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden beyond, which will naturally continue to evolve and flourish over time. “The reading room embodies the spirit of the Four Arts,” Kirchhoff adds. “It maintains the character of the original space while meeting the needs of the library.” The murals adorning the walls of the entry

loggia—painted by Albert Herter in 1939 and restored in 1987 by Barney Lamar—were also refreshed in accordance with extensive documentation of the originals, this time using new materials and technology that will augment their longevity. The murals depict the four arts: art, music, literature, and drama. Wherever possible, the original furnishings were preserved, further repackaging the library’s history to befit the future.

Another collaboration with Daily tous les jours—the futuristic design studio responsible for blessing Clematis Street with a musical swing set in 2016—will soon enliven a ho-hum stretch of Quadrille Boulevard in West Palm Beach. Shade Parade, anticipated to debut in early fall, is envisioned as an interactive and moveable structure that will both enhance the connectivity of downtown and offer a break from the sun. Concept renderings depict a series of oversized gliding parasols that pedestrians can tote with them as they stroll along the west side of Quadrille. This functional art is intended as a creative improvement to an uninteresting but oft-trodden path in the city. (wpb.org)

the perimeter of the reading room. The three chandeliers illuminating the reading room and circulation desk are refurbished originals, and existing furniture was refinished and reused when practical. While the second-floor discussion forum remains in the same location, it was optimized for present-day use. In the initial floor plans, the area was intended for artistic performances; today, it is reserved for literary events and library programming, and now reflects that evolution. The original exposed heavy timbers are again revealed, and the raised performance area was lowered. “It honors that space by allowing them to use [it] in a very functional way,” explains Betsy Rossin, associate architect. Glowing with restored luster, the King Library’s successful revitalization—the direct result of community support, as funds for the project were raised privately from residents who enjoy the building and want to keep the tradition alive for succeeding generations— will remain a source of pride for Palm Beach.

ECO KNOW-HOW

Protecting the Earth starts in your own backyard—and, as a group of local middle schoolers are proving, there’s no minimum age requirement. Enter the Coral Project, a STEAM initiative at Palm Beach Day Academy made possible by a grant from the Annette Urso Rickel Foundation. After biology teacher Ashley Hollern screened the Emmy Award–winning documentary Chasing Coral, her students were hooked on the topic of coral reefs and their global decline. With help from The Reef Institute and Coral Restoration Foundation, the eighth and ninth graders transformed an underutilized storage closet into a coral nursery, complete with photosynthetic lighting systems and lab-grade tanks they assembled themselves and filled with seawater. Through the Coral Project, students are able to continue studying a worldwide issue in a personal context. The overall aim of the program is to conduct research and bring awareness to the gravity of reef bleaching at home and abroad. To accomplish the latter,

students mobilized history and video production teacher Jonathan Paine, who’s filming a documentary on their project that will air this fall on PBS. “We wanted to take an actual global issue and empower these kids to see that they can make a real difference if they take it seriously and are engaged, and they’ve just become incredibly passionate about this whole process,” says Paine. “Whether it’s coral or another global issue, [it’s about] the idea of empowering the children that they can make a difference.” In April, the students spent a week at Cape Eleuthera Institute, a marine science facility where they worked alongside researchers and learned how to elevate their own efforts. “It was amazing to validate that what we are doing is critical, and that we are participating in vital research in real time,” says Hollern. During the school year, students measure the growth of their assigned coral fragment and maintain its aquatic environment, collecting data under the guidance of Hollern and Reef Institute scientists. They hope to eventually receive clearance to plant their spawns in Florida’s oceans, replenishing the state’s dwindling offshore reefs. “This is a perfect way to show kids that it’s just not all bookwork,” Hollern says. “Kids in the future, in the next 50 years, are going

They’re exposed to situations where they have to really think and pull [from] different content areas. It’s not science class—it’s science and math and English and history.” The Coral Project unites the students’ various skill sets—photography, marketing, mathematics, writing, entrepreneurship, visual arts—for a common cause, demonstrating that no matter what they bring to the table, the important part is showing up.

Eye for DESIGN Born in San Diego and raised outside Seattle, Katherine Shenaman isn’t a Palm Beach native—but with her eye for design and heart for philanthropy, she fits right in. She moved cross-country to attend Palm Beach Atlantic University, studying psychology and art before making her entrée into interior design as a draftsman for Smith Architectural Group. After earning her master’s degree, she launched her own interior design company in New York City and eventually returned to Palm Beach to participate in a renovation project that won the 2010 Ballinger Award. Her latest venture, Callidus Palm Beach, is a boutique that stocks home goods, fine accessories, and gifts. When not working or traveling, Shenaman supports the Palm Beach Symphony, Peggy Adams, and PBAU’s Women of Distinction, among other causes. —Skye Sherman

Are you rethinking the role of
TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR LIFE? Industry-recognized Financial Advisors with Tiano, Armour & Smyth Wealth Managers at J.P. Morgan Securities share five tips on how your devices might enrich your life and disrupt it less.
The sky is blue as can be, the wind is blowing through the trees, sailboats race across the bay. And you suddenly realize…you’ve been on the phone for the past hour and haven’t really been enjoying the beautiful summer day. And while our smartphones and devices bring considerable benefits to many areas of our lives, we all experience moments when we feel distracted by tech. Have you been wondering if it’s time to reassess your relationship with technology? THE INTENSITY OF MODERN LIVING REINFORCES THE IDEA THAT TECHNOLOGY CAN MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER. Our devices help us in many ways by acting like a second brain, relieving us of having to process too much information. Called “cognitive off-loading,” the basic premise is that we try to find ways to reduce how much thinking we have to do. Relieved that technology is working on our behalf, we presumably have more time and energy to do other things—to work, to play, to spend more time with our families and friends. But is the premise true if we can’t find ways to put our devices down?
WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP IN BALANCING OUR TECHNOLOGY NEEDS? To get an idea how much value people place in technology, J.P. Morgan commissioned global research with 1,500 high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) participants to explore how they feel about technology. The data clearly show that people find extraordinary value in technology on a deeply personal level. But participants express genuine conflict regarding the amount of time they spend on their devices. EMBRACE THE BENEFITS AND LEAVE THE REST BEHIND. Drawing on survey results, we’ve come up with five tips to help embrace the benefits of technology in our lives, rather than allowing it to become a driver of our behavior: 1. Figure out how technology fits in your life—Do you need technology to accomplish a task, or is there another way to do it? 2. Use technology with intention—Use it well, from ordering tickets to a concert to texting your child about his or her whereabouts. 3. Know the risks of using your device—Talk with colleagues, friends and family about the downsides of pervasive technology in your lives. 4. Be alert to cognitive off-loading—Assess the pros and cons; do you feel overwhelmed by how much of a presence technology is in your life? 5. If you can, put your phone down—Take the time to see how it feels and see what you can accomplish without using a device. MAKING A PERSONAL CHOICE ABOUT TECH. So, when you find yourself picking up your phone for the twentieth time during the day and it’s not yet noon, ask yourself the question posed to survey participants: Is technology enhancing my life or disrupting it? Are you happy to be engaged with your phone, or would you prefer to put it down for a while? We all want to harness the power of technology in our lives, but we also want to avoid its less attractive side effects. The choice is personal—there’s no right or wrong. As technology evolves, so will our own personal decisions about what it is we want from our ever-present smartphones and devices.

Born to be WILD
A mother opens her daughter’s eyes to the wonders of an African safari—both the seen and the unseen By Daphne Nikolopoulos

rom the sky, the sprawling bushveld of the Phinda Private Game Reserve looks endless, the saturated green of its mountains fading as the peaks stretch to all points of the horizon. I can see the airstrip below, a thin band of red earth where the woodland gives way to dense grasslands. Our single prop plane banks to meet it. “Mom, do you think we’ll see a bush baby?” My daughter, Annie, has been poring over a South African wildlife book since I told her we were going on safari to celebrate her tenth birthday. “There’s a good chance,” I tell her, “but this isn’t a zoo. We’ll have to track it.” From the ground, the land looks very different. Acacias, the queens of the thornveld, sprout among golden grasses and offer meager shade from the searing sun of the thirtieth parallel south. We meet our ranger, Clive, who hurries us into the open-top

Land Cruiser so we won’t miss the two cheetahs he spotted on the way in. Less than a quartermile in, we see the pair sunning themselves, belly up, on a clay mound. We take our time photographing from all angles. Judging by their girth, they won’t be moving anytime soon. Clive asks Annie what she wants most to see. She has that answer handy: “Bush babies! And leopards.” “We’ll do our best,” he replies. “The ground’s still wet from the rains.” I’ve been on enough safaris to know that’s code for potential disappointment. Off-roading, the biggest advantage of game viewing in a private reserve, is prohibited when the soil is muddy. This is nonnegotiable for conservation-minded outfitter andBeyond, which is as concerned with its impact on wild places as with providing an extraordinary guest experience. I’m secretly thrilled
about this. The subtext of such a policy—if habitat is damaged, the balance of the ecosystem is threatened—is a far more valuable lesson for my daughter than ticking the Big Five off a list. Regardless of conditions, Phinda’s varied terrain, which includes most of southern Africa’s remaining sand forest, makes for prolific wildlife sightings. Even on the short drive to the lodge, we glimpse impala, giraffe, waterbuck, and a rare black rhino at a watering hole. Spirits are high, and the mood is only amplified when we reach our home for the next few days, andBeyond Phinda Homestead. This private villa, which was expanded and reopened last year, is a magnificent expression of modern architecture in the midst of the KwaZulu-Natal wilderness. Four bedrooms, all with outdoor showers and private decks, are oriented around massive common areas with plenty of places to gather, including an infinity-edge pool, a sunken firepit, an outdoor bar, and even a koi pond. Everything has been designed to celebrate indigenous culture: Art is by South African creatives, reed

curtains are woven by local Zulu women, walls are made of railroad ties or of sand and clay from the reserve. Combined with the fact that a dedicated staff is always on hand, the Homestead is the perfect situation for families on safari. We rise at 5 the next morning, eager to get into the bush early, when animals are most active. By dawn, the air is moist with humidity and the sky is solid gray—not a great sign, but not enough to stop us. Our tracker, Benny, sees leopard tracks alongside the dirt road. We follow them for a couple of miles through a nagging drizzle, but the inevitable downpour erases them. Huddled beneath ponchos, we persist valiantly, but animals are nowhere in sight. One thing about Africa: It makes no promises. The place is so vast and untamed, you have to be prepared to roll with whatever comes. I’ve been traveling to the continent since I read Peter Matthiessen’s The Tree Where Man Was Born 25 years ago, and my experiences have yielded everything from elation to raw fear. I’ve soared in a hot-air balloon as the sun rose

over the red dunes of the Namib Desert. I’ve watched crocodiles take down wildebeest crossing the Mara River and lions rip the hide off buffalos in the wilds of Botswana. I’ve been charged by a silverback somewhere between the Congo and Uganda, seen cheetahs circle my tent in Zimbabwe, and kicked a soccer ball with giggling children in Malawi. Each of these moments has underscored the continent’s extremes—you witness life and death, beauty and gloom, innocence and corruption, often in the same day—and made plain the impermanence of things. Change is ceaseless everywhere, but here, where there are fewer worldly distractions, it’s more pronounced. Though it seems counterintuitive, observing ephemerality—from the circle of life to habitat loss to cultural degradation—in real time makes you less fearful. There are worse things than coming in from the rain to the comforts of a huge home-cooked

breakfast. We console ourselves with waffles, seed-rich granolas, smoothie bowls, and Turkish eggs with garlicky yogurt—and just like that, the sun comes out. While Clive and Benny dry off the Cruiser for another foray, we hear elephants and see them, a moment later, coming to drink at our swimming pool. Any lingering disappointment over a wet morning vanishes as we behold the parade of pachyderms less than 20 feet away. Annie’s face is beaming. For sundowners, a safari tradition since colonial times, we head to the Lebombo Mountains. On the way, we track a cheetah and its cubs with a kill. When they walk away, Clive helps Annie make a plaster-ofParis impression of the cub’s paw prints, which she proclaims “the best souvenir ever.” We continue through forested terrain to higher elevations and stop at a peak that yields sweeping views across the valley to the coast. Clive and Benny set up a table and pour age-appropriate libations as we appreciate the halo of golden light that signals the end of day. When night falls, we look for bush
babies and leopards in the trees. Even Benny’s eagle eyes and red spotlight are not helping. Chances are both are deeper inside the bush, but we can’t risk tearing up the ground. There are other rewards—lions on the prowl, the silhouette of a duiker before it darts into the thicket, and a magical show of stars—but the longing remains. On our last night at the Homestead, we have dinner alfresco in the boma, a circular reed structure that houses the braai (barbecue). Somewhere between main course and dessert, we hear the Sunken firepit at andBeyond Phinda Homestead human-like cry of a bush baby. Clive leads us on a walk to find the nocturnal creature, but the cry becomes fainter as it moves through the treetops. “Sorry, Annie,” he says. “We tried.” Her answer makes me proud: “That’s okay. I know it’s there.” Sometimes that’s enough. (andbeyond.com)

Safari PREGAME There’s more than wildlife in South Africa. Cape Town, one of the country’s three capitals, is rich in heritage, natural beauty, and plenty for kids to do. AndBeyond’s fantastic guides can help you negotiate the city efficiently and safely. Here are five must-dos: 1. Tour Cape Point, the peninsula that culminates in the Cape of Good Hope. Don’t skip the drive through Chapman’s Peak and stop at Boulders Beach (near Simon’s Town) to commune with hundreds of African penguins. (capepoint.co.za) 2. Stay at Cape Grace at the foot of Table Mountain, on the V&A waterfront. The views are as extraordinary as the hospitality. Family-friendly activities include a lovely high tea, seal watching from the rear terrace, and cookie decorating. (capegrace.com) 3. Visit Robben Island. Off the coast of Cape Town, this living museum was once a political prison, famous for incarcerating Nelson Mandela. Ex-prisoners now lead the tours, offering a harrowing perspective on the nation’s hard-won civil liberties. This is a wonderful educational experience for mature children. (robben-island.org.za) 4. Take the aerial cableway to the top of Table Mountain. Fair warning: The cable car doesn’t operate in windy conditions, which occur often. If you don’t get lucky, there are 350 hiking trails to the top. The views are more than worth the effort. (tablemountainnationalpark.org) 5. Spend a day in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden (sanbi.org/gardens/kirstenbosch). This South African treasure is home to more than 200 species of fauna and avifauna and 1,000 indigenous plants. Stop in to Moyo (moyo.co.za) for local dishes like venison potjie, a stew made in cast-iron pots. The fried mopane worms are sure to elicit an “Ewww” out of the kids. «

ESCAPE TRAVEL JOURNAL
Cozy in CASHIERS In 2002, at the close of her first visit to Cashiers, North Carolina, Christina Kramer recalls a friendly housekeeper at the High Hampton Resort saying, “See y’all next year!” Kramer and her husband took her up on it, returning every year since and purchasing a home in the area in 2015. As an illustrator and photographer, Kramer especially appreciates Cashiers’ picturesque setting, with its verdant mountains and woodsy appeal. Her artistic endeavors range from large-scale floral photographs printed on watercolor paper to a coloring book dedicated to Palm Beach. While she remains an island resident, Kramer and her family travel to Cashiers several times in the summer and once or twice in the fall and spring to savor activities such as hiking, fly-fishing, marshmallow roasting, or simply reading on the porch. —Liza Grant Smith
THE VIBE Rustic, peaceful, restorative. It’s a one-crossroad town with two traffic lights.

Bentley’s new V-8-engined Continental GT convertible is one DELICIOUS confection By Howard Walker

emember Toblerone? How could a true chocoholic forget? One nibble and that hedonistic concoction of milky cocoa, nougat, almonds, and honey will be imprinted on your taste buds forever. Even if you can’t recall the taste, you’ll certainly remember the distinctive pyramidic shape of each morsel. And how each triangle is squeezed perfectly into that yellow and red cardboard packaging. The candy’s most differentiating trait is all thanks to Swiss chocolatier Theodor Tobler, who came up with the unique form back in 1908. What, you may ask, has Toblerone got to do with the magnificent new 2020 Bentley Continental GT convertible I’ve been driving? More than you think. It seems to have served as the inspiration behind one of the coolest, surprise-and-delight features of this third-generation Continental. Press one of the shiny-chrome buttons on the Bentley’s mirror-varnished dash and watch in awe as the 12.3-inch touchscreen rotates, revealing a second panel with three handsome analog dials. Press again and you’ll get a third panel of dashboard-matching veneer. Bentley says that this triple-sided rotating display can reduce driver distraction on the move. Me? I love that the trio of circular dials gives
the car a cool ’60s retro vibe. I mean, why use a navigation screen when you have a compass? All the superlatives in Webster’s don’t come close to describing the overpowering joy of piloting this reimagined Bentley convertible. Based closely on the all-new Continental GT coupe, this GT droptop combines elegance, blistering performance, driving sophistication, and handcrafted luxury in one divine grand touring package. Style-wise, it’s just gorgeous. I adore the wider grille, the more chiseled lines, the broader shoulders covering those optional 22-inch rims. And feast your peepers on the new ovoid LED headlamps reminiscent of the finest cut-crystal goblets. They’re just a work of art. As before, there’s a tight-fitting cloth top that can raise or lower in 19 seconds and at speeds of up to 30 mph. Buyers can choose from seven fabric colors and, for the first time, a tweed cloth. But the greatest elevation in appeal comes with the redesigned interior. Bentley’s artisans have taken diamond quilting to a new level with raised 3-D quilting for the door panels. Settle into the new 20-way-adjustable front seats and enjoy more side support and neck warmers that’ll keep you toasty on chilly days (when and if they ever come).

The biggest news, however, is not what’s inside but what’s under the hood. For 2020 the coupe and convertible get a new, state-of-the-art V-8. The famous W-12 continues, but after spending a couple of blissful days behind the wheel of the eight-cylinder convertible, you have to wonder if the extra cost (a nontrivial $16,100), additional thirst, and enhanced complexity of the W-12 are worth it. This is basically the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that powers the latest Porsche Panamera Turbo and Lamborghini Urus sport-ute. In Bentley guise, it punches out 542 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque. If that wasn’t intriguing enough, this turbine-smooth V-8 is mated to a brand new eight-speed double-clutch transmission for lightning-fast shifts and

right-now responses. It’s truly a formidable combo. Stand on the gas and this all-wheel drive droptop will lunge off the line and hit 60 mph in four seconds flat—and not quit till the speedo needle is showing 198 mph. What I love most about the way the brawny V-8 delivers its power is its duality of character. One second it’s happy purring along with four cylinders deactivated; the next it’s burbling, barking, and hurling the GT at the horizon, making it feel like an oversized supercar. This is a spectacular vehicle—the finest, most joyous-to-drive convertible out there. A car where V-8 power is more fun than the 12. Yes, this new GT V-8 will set you back $218,350 and up. But for savoring the upcoming Florida winter—along with the occasional Toblerone to satisfy your chocolate cravings—this is one tasty treat. «

Palm Beach County abounds with outstanding teachers who think beyond the classroom and make a genuine difference in their students’ lives. This summer, while they took a much-deserved break, PBI embarked on a mission to identify some of the best. We put out a call for nominations in our inaugural Education Awards, looking for distinguished candidates in the categories of educator, academic program, and institutional excellence. On September 20, we’ll honor the finalists and announce the winners at a dinner at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. Here, we present the five teachers in the running for Educator of the Year.
Yash Bhagwanji
Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education, Florida Atlantic University For Yash Bhagwanji, PhD, it was Palm Beach County’s natural beauty and wonderful biological diversity that ignited a passion for children’s environmental literacy development. He began teaching at Florida Atlantic University in 2003 and helped to create the university’s early childhood education degree—making FAU the first college in the state to offer a bachelor’s degree in the subject. He’s been developing and teaching related courses ever since. In the spirit of his appreciation for the county’s environs, his favorite courses are the ones that allow him to teach outside of the classroom. By bringing his students to explore wild and natural places ranging from the marshes of the Wakodahatchee Wetlands to the mangroves in Boca Raton, Bhagwanji hopes to inspire them in their own teaching endeavors. “Students are engaged in passive learning too much,” he says. “The teachers talk, and the kids are asked to sit and listen, to quietly read their books. But I don’t think that’s the most effective form of learning. I think learning is best when it’s interactive, when students are actively engaged in discovery, experimentation, and socialization.” Bhagwanji’s students appreciate these inventive teaching methods, which have helped them get involved in their own communities. And though his many accolades reflect how his efforts are impacting the lives of current and future students alike, it’s his dedication to creative learning that sets him apart. “When we teach children and youths, it shouldn’t be about doom and gloom and how we’re ruining the earth,” he says. “It should be about beauty and mysteries and the wonders of nature, how magical things can happen in our own backyards, because that’s what’s going to motivate them to want to learn about and engage with these amazing natural places.” PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2019

“I believe it’s important to begin addressing the issues of bullying at a very early age and create a no-bullying culture from the onset.”
Loverly Sheridan
Adult Education Instructor, Delray Full Service School With globetrotting credentials that include living in and visiting six of the seven continents and more than 60 countries, Loverly Sheridan has been able to cross numerous items off her bucket list. But for Sheridan, an adult education instructor at Delray Full Service School, there are still plenty of passions to pursue and causes to tackle, including her most recent focus: anti-bullying in schools. “Bullying is a global issue and an ongoing problem in our world,” says Sheridan, who is also the president of LS Creative Services, which develops awareness campaigns for issues affecting children and adults. “It’s truly an epidemic and the root of a lot of problems we continue to face today.” Sheridan shares this message, her experiences, and her hopes for future generations in her writing. She’s penned five children’s books, including Be a Buddy, Not a Bully, which promotes friendliness and inclusivity. “I believe it’s important to begin addressing the issues of bullying at a very early age and create a no-bullying culture from the onset,” she explains. “If we focus on prevention, we won’t have to worry about the cure.” This belief inspired the creation of the Buddy Ambassadors program, which Sheridan runs in partnership with Mental Health America of Palm Beach County. The initiative includes the use of Buddy Benches, tangible tools that are placed in elementary school playgrounds to help put Sheridan’s prompt to be a buddy into practice. If a child needs a friend, he or she can sit on the bench, and a child who is part of the Buddy Ambassadors program will reach out. “There’s this enormous pressure placed on children and adults to succeed, but what’s the purpose of passing tests yet failing at life?” asks Sheridan. “Our children’s mental health, and the mental health of each other, should be our first priority.”

“I’d describe the Fab Lab as a place where kids can take an idea from their imagination, create a digital design, and then turn that into an actual prototype.”
Ryan Smith
Third-Grade Math and Science Teacher, The Greene School When Ryan Smith first moved to Florida, it was for an internship at Jupiter’s Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium that was supposed to last eight months. That was 16 years ago. Now, having realized his passion for teaching, he’s a third-grade math and science teacher at The Greene School in West Palm Beach. Although he’s only been at the school for two years, he’s already made lasting impressions on both his students and co-workers. Last year, Smith helped to establish the school’s fabrication lab, a space outfitted with cutting-edge technology including multiple 3-D printers and laser and vinyl cutters. The “Fab Lab,” as it has been dubbed, offers a digital design elective class where students can work on their own projects, whether that’s vinyl cutting stickers for classrooms or forging a skateboard using laser cutters. “I’d describe the Fab Lab as a place where kids can take an idea from their imagination, create a digital design, and then turn that into an actual prototype,” says Smith. “And what’s really fun about that class is I’m not just handing them projects to make—they have the opportunity to develop their own ways of design thinking.” He’s also ensured kids across the county can have similar opportunities by co-founding a program with the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium that has placed 30 3-D printers into local middle schools at no cost to them. For both of his years affiliated with The Greene School, Smith has aided the institution in receiving Green Schools of Excellence awards, which recognize and support green school initiatives and sustainable practices. Besides running a student club that has implemented a schoolwide recycling program, Smith also oversees the school’s organic garden. “It’s a powerful learning tool,” he says. “Every grade has something gardenrelated tied into its curriculum, and we pair grade levels like seventh graders and pre-K kids so the older students can learn mentorship skills. We’ve also partnered with Lox Farms in Wellington, and the parents get involved too. It really builds a sense of community, both inside the school and out.”

“I get to have meaningful interactions with bright, open-minded young people who are thinking about ... what impact they’re going to have on the world.”
Laura Vernon
Professor of Psychology, Wilkes Honors College at FAU As a psychology professor, Laura Vernon, PhD, makes the mental health of her students a top priority. Vernon, who began teaching at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College at Florida Atlantic University in 2006, has been committed to finding new ways to help support students from day one. “I teach an introductory freshman-level class, so I often see students during their first week,” says Vernon, who was recently named the associate dean of FAU’s honors college. “Then I teach them in advanced courses later and often advise them during their last years, so I get to see them develop along the way.” Vernon’s mentorship efforts go beyond the classroom with her FAU Thrive initiative, which she launched a year ago to support student mental health after receiving the university’s Distinguished Teacher of the Year award. Since recipients give keynote addresses at the awards convocation, Vernon thought long and hard about what she wanted to say during her own. “We were there celebrating successes, but I wanted to acknowledge how those successes often come after a lot of failures, struggles, and difficulty, and how we need to embrace that as part of the process,” she says. Within her initiative, Vernon works with student groups to create health- and wellness-focused blogs and social media campaigns, and assists students with events, movies, discussion groups, and workshops. “I love how I get to have meaningful interactions with bright, open-minded young people who are thinking about who they’re going to be and what impact they’re going to have on the world,” notes Vernon, who hopes to make FAU Thrive a permanent part of the university. “It’s an amazing transition they’re going through at this time of their lives, and it’s an honor to be part of it.”

Cristen Magaletti History and Social Entrepreneurship Teacher, Saint Andrew’s School
In January 2018, Saint Andrew’s School opened the Dr. Albert Cohen Family Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. When Cristen Magaletti interviewed at the school a short while later, she knew the timing of her arrival was ideal. The school was looking to expand its entrepreneurship class offerings, and Magaletti’s combined background in teaching design thinking and innovation classes was a perfect fit. In addition to her work as a class advisor and history teacher, Magaletti’s popular social entrepreneurship course introduces students to members of the business community who work within that field, while also encouraging them to develop sustainable solutions for social challenges and topics they truly care about. “It’s very real-world,” says Magaletti. “They’re not just creating plans but taking the next steps in the process of launching businesses that create meaningful change. In school, you can be a kind of square peg in a round hole if you don’t excel in topics like English or math, but this course is a way for students to explore these other places of passion in a real, hands-on way.” Through this course, Magaletti has helped Saint Andrew’s become the first Fair Trade School in Florida, a designation that recognizes efforts to mobilize fair-trade principles. Earlier this year, she brought her student leaders to a civility summit at Lynn University, where examples of student-led fair-trade campaigns inspired them to bring similar initiatives back to their own campus and to begin conversations about conscious consumer practices in the community. “It was a totally student-driven initiative, a passion project that led to our Fair Trade School designation,” says Magaletti. “I think by increasing these conversations about sustainability, students have the power to affect real change. Oftentimes, they feel they need to wait until adulthood before they can make a difference, but this shows they can effect change right now. When students mobilize, amazing things happen.” « 56

Constructed in 1886, the one-room structure is the oldest remaining school in Southeast Florida. The schoolhouse closed in 1901 and was moved to Phipps Ocean Park in 1960. The Preservation Foundation rehabilitated the structure in 1990 and began operating the living history program in 1991. Nearly every day during the school year, seasoned schoolmarms instruct fourth-grade students in the experience of a typical day for a pioneer schoolchild.

n the shaded paths of 35 wooded acres in rural Loxahatchee, zebra longwing butterflies drowsily weave among clusters of bamboo and tangled vines of magenta bougainvillea. But just a few steps farther, the sleepy atmosphere shatters with a chorus of catcalls, whistles, and random words that soar into the air, gaining volume and making it necessary to shout to be heard. The red-browed Amazon parrots have figured out they’re about to have visitors and are eager to show off. Clinging to the sides of their spacious aviary, they clamor for attention by belting out a recitation of every human sound they’ve learned. “They mimic everything and are very social, which is part of the reason they are endangered,” says Paul R. Reillo, PhD, founder of the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation (RSCF) and co-director of the Tropical Conservation Institute, an entity created in partnership with Florida International University. Over several decades, the parrots had been illegally smuggled from Brazil as exotic, rare pets and were predicted to be extinct by 1983.
000_CONSERVATION_0919.indd 59
Reillo has been quietly laboring for more than 30 years to protect endangered species such as the red-browed parrot. He founded RSCF, a nonprofit organization, in 1992 to preserve high-priority, high-profile animals (referred to as flagship species) and ignite a call to action for their declining habitats. He and his small staff of 10 coordinate with governments and other conservation programs around the world to design recovery blueprints for critical species in protected environments. Continuing on the path away from the aviaries, more cages house the golden-headed lion tamarin, which nearly went extinct 50 years
ago. “We were down to maybe 60 in the late 1960s,” Reillo explains. In an attempt to save it, the government of Brazil, in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institute, took the unprecedented move of claiming all of the species as property of the government, so none could be sold or owned privately. In a perfect illustration of the connection between threatened species and the environment, Brazil turned the photogenic tamarin into a poster child for deforestation in the early 1970s, resulting in a huge increase in public awareness, Reillo says. “They became a flagship species and a model for how we think about wildlife.” PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2019

RSCF is engaged in long-term breeding, research, and management of the red-browed Amazon parrot. Although once common in Brazil’s coastal Atlantic forest, its population drastically declined in the twentieth century due to a loss of habitat and its trade as a rare pet.

Reillo strides over to an ATV loaded with mahoe branches (a native plant similar to a sea hibiscus) and rides to a fenced area where he feeds the midday snack to the brown and white-striped African mountain bongo antelope lazing in the shade. The animals are allowed to breed in a safe environment here, before being flown back to a preserve created by the Kenyan government and covering an area the size of Rhode Island. “Seeing them will change your life,” he promises as he flings the mahoe toward the animals. “Imagine, we almost lost this magnificent species to extinction.” Indeed, a visit to the grounds of RSCF could be called the “money shot” for conservation—putting an irresistible face on the mission to raise awareness for saving endangered animals and their habitats before it is too late. Partnering with FIU and creating the Tropical Conservation Institute arms RSCF with additional strength in numbers and support from
the university, while also providing students with a hands-on training facility. “What we [at RSCF] brought to the table was a long list of conservation work,” says Reillo. “We’re not a public face; we’re not a zoo or public entity. We needed a substantial partner, and that’s where FIU comes in. FIU provides not only access to donors but the next generation of scientific researchers and conservation practitioners.” Saving our environment has reached a critical point, requiring a sustained collaboration from government organizations, researchers, and private and public funding, explains Reillo. For an example of teamwork in action, look no further than the red-browed parrot: After its near-extinction, RSCF developed the only breeding flock in North America. “For over 23 years, we artificially incubated every egg, hatched and hand-reared every chick, and raised about 100,” he says. “We had our first hatching in 1992, and it was a remarkable feat because Brazil’s commitment to the species at that time was lacking. Now we support and collaborate with researchers there. We assisted with their recovery program and advised them on breeding techniques. Brazil basically took a 10-year leap in three years by taking years of outside effort and putting it into action

immediately, which is the way collaboration should work.” But conservation can take many forms and doesn’t always involve protecting animals within a confined area, Reillo notes. “Captive breeding is a potential tool for wildlife recovery, but it is not conservation in and of itself. Animals raised in cages and pens typically die in cages and pens.” Although critically endangered species may require captive breeding as a life-support strategy to prevent extinction, Reillo says it’s preferable to conduct such initiatives within the country of origin. Captive breeding to buttress conservation requires a variety of management methods, such as reintroducing the animal to a sustainable environment or employing scientific techniques in the field. “Concurrent with all of these efforts is habitat protection because recovery hinges upon ecosystem integrity,” he says. Michael Heithaus, FIU’s dean of the College

of Arts, Sciences, and Education and co-director with Reillo of the Tropical Conservation Institute, points to a United Nations report this year that warns that approximately one million species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction within the next few decades—and the effect on humans will be great. “That report is pretty sobering in itself, but then there’s the fact that it will have an impact on people who depend on those ecosystems,” says Heithaus. Working with RSCF will speed up the research and training of scientists who can go into the field and make a difference immediately. “The Rare Species foundation has a track record of
reversing the extinction of species, and our students will get training on how to make it actually work. Studying in a classroom is one thing, but hands-on training will add to their expertise.” Matt Morris is one such student putting his academic expertise to work at RSCF. The 22-yearold is pursuing his master’s degree in biology at FIU and has been studying the critically endangered grasshopper sparrow, a tiny bird that lives in the Florida prairies. “The birds are known to carry a currently uncharacterized parasite that is harmful to their health and potentially fatal,” he says. “I hope to help characterize it and see how it affects the overall recovery strategy.”
One of the Tropical Conservation Institute’s biggest initiatives is the recovery and critical care of the federally endangered Florida grasshopper sparrow. Through a captive-breeding program, researchers hope to save it from extinction and eventually restore it to its native habitat in Florida’s dry prairies.

The Tropical Conservation Institute’s efforts extend to the ocean. Its Global FinPrint Project aims to help save vital shark and ray species by providing the science necessary to advocate for the protection of these aquatic animals and influence policy. Within this project, researchers survey reef populations to pinpoint shark and ray strongholds, and also identify distinct genetic markers that will allow enforcement officials to reduce trade of at-risk species.
Morris earned his undergraduate degree at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg and was looking for a summer opportunity when he found RSCF in the yellow pages and came on as a volunteer. “I fell in love with the place the first time I went there,” he says. Through Reillo, he became involved with FIU and the Tropical Conservation Institute and believes it’s been a game changer in his education. “It’s such a well-rounded experience. I have the academic side at FIU, but at Rare Species I get to go behind the curtain and have the privilege of seeing the logistical side. In three to five years, I don’t know where my career will 62
take me, but I can say with certainty that my relationship with Rare Species will never end.” The Tropical Conservation Institute was made possible by a challenge grant from The Batchelor Foundation, which the late aviation entrepreneur George Batchelor established in 1990 to champion the welfare of children and animals and the conservation of the natural environment. Reillo and Heithaus first approached the foundation and co-CEO and chairman Sandy Batchelor with a grant proposal for a collaborative effort in wildlife conservation. “When I saw the proposal, I thought it was a wonderful philanthropic opportunity to form a brain trust between two unique institutions, each providing complementary strengths,” she says. “Paul walks his talk; all you have to do is look at the scars on his arms and legs from vigorous, successful field work to preserve endangered wildlife. He doesn’t just sit in his office and talk conservation. FIU provides field research of its own and the strong academic background to educate the next generation of conservationists.” In 2014, The Batchelor Foundation entered into a $5 million challenge grant with FIU to benefit Tropical Conservation Institute endeavors, with an agreement to match, dollar for dollar, qualifying funds raised by the university up to $1 million per year for five consecutive years. Heithaus, who has an impressive array of marine research and conservation credentials to his name, says the grant from The Batchelor Foundation was a boost because funding for conservation can be tricky. “There tends to be declining support for conservation at times when other world issues take precedence, yet an intact ecosystem and biodiversity are critically important for the survival of people.” The Tropical Conservation Institute also works to save a variety of other species—on land and in the water—with ongoing research and field work on reef sharks, freshwater turtles, bats, and elephants, to name a few.

RSCF has participated in the Lion Tamarin Conservation Program for more than 25 years, an effort it can continue in even greater force with the help of the Tropical Conservation Institute. Another long-term initiative has been to recover the mountain bongo antelope population and its East African ecosystem that provides Kenyans with 80 percent of their clean water supply.
Donations from private individuals have also provided much-needed aid to conservation efforts. On the grounds of RSCF, away from the animals, a former assisted-living facility was partly donated by the owner, says Reillo. The expansive building now houses offices at one end, and the bedrooms of former residents serve as dorms for visiting researchers and students from around the world. “When you do wildlife work, there is no fixed schedule,” Reillo notes. “It’s seven days a week, often 20 to 24 hours a day.” A short walk away, the Animal Recovery Center has been recently renovated thanks to a $100,000 gift from Al Sears, a local physician and the medical director of the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Royal Palm Beach. Sears has traveled around the world visiting and studying indigenous populations, some of which no longer exist or have become altered through Western influence. He met Reillo about 20 years ago, and the two bonded over their shared commitment to protecting endangered habitats. Sears

says he was impressed by the fact that RSCF is light on administration but heavy on results. “I prefer more independent, bottom-up, grassroots efforts where we all do what we can,” he adds. “Paul takes that do-it-yourself approach and doesn’t wait for big industry to change.” While support from donors and the collaboration with FIU strengthen RSCF’s conservation work, there is always more to be done, says Reillo. “We have a bigger army and more tools in the toolkit, and our relationship with FIU [means] that collectively we have strength,” he explains. “But if we’re going to engage 8 billion people on this planet, we basically have to say it’s incumbent on every person to do their part. We can’t defer to anyone else or any other generation.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2019

THE REASON WE DID THIS IS TO OPEN UP A WHOLE WORLD FOR STUDENTS AT FAU AND ALLOW THEM TO DO THINGS FOR THEIR FUTURE THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD WAY, WHERE YOU HAVE A PROFESSOR STANDING UP IN FRONT OF A CLASSROOM, TEACHING FROM A TEXTBOOK.” —Rubin Gruber
magine a space that’s light, bright, and humming with efficient activity and the undercurrent of exhilaration that comes from free-spirited creativity. Stepping inside is almost like entering the future. Here, sophisticated computers quietly process and analyze data at a rate of trillions of problems per second, with the goal that physicians might come to understand early markers of dementia and prevent the onset of disease; oceanographers could identify and locate a single crack in a critical seawall; and meteorologists would be able to predict the amount of rainfall in Palm Beach County on a specific day 10 years from now. The addition of a new artificial intelligence (AI) lab at Florida Atlantic University, planned to be operational by spring, will bring this scene firmly into the present and welcome not only students of all disciplines but the public as well. The 3,400-square-foot facility, located on the first floor of the main library on the Boca Raton campus, will house the existing Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Lab, transporting it from a smaller area on the fourth floor of the behavioral science building and putting it in the spotlight. “The lab is the growth of one started in 2014, originally as an academic lab for research in AI technology,” says research scientist William Hahn, the co-founder and co-director of the lab. “Since interest from students has grown so much and the field has increased, we have the need to expand.” Artificial intelligence, or machine learning, is the rapidly advancing science of teaching computers to not only process data but analyze it with the result that they can “think” and make decisions in a way that humans do. Self-driving cars are one of the more well-known examples of this

technology. The new lab is made possible by technology entrepreneur Rubin Gruber, and his wife, Cindy, who formerly worked in corporate communications. They christened the lab “the Sandbox” in the spirit of its mission to meld creativity with the latest technology. Rubin Gruber was involved with the previous lab as a mentor and realized that students were trying to accomplish AI on older, slower computers. He began donating money for new GPU (graphics processing unit) computers and, as interest grew and it became apparent that the progress in AI could benefit a wider range of students, the couple presented a proposal for a larger space. “The reason we did this is to open up a whole world for students at FAU and allow them to do things for their future that are different than the old way, where you have a professor standing up in front of a classroom, teaching from a textbook,” says Rubin. Cindy adds that there are many people like them, in the second half of their lives, who are looking for ways to be involved. “What Rubin and I would really like people to see is that mentorship from people who have had successful careers is a wonderful way to give back,” she explains. “Even though we gave money, we also feel a hands-on connection with these students.” 76
The expanded lab at the Wimberly Library will include approximately 50 GPU computers and will be devoted to developing deeplearning AI and its applications, to include virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technology. Combining different modes allows for rapid discovery and development. For example, instead of making clay models of self-driving cars, the mixed reality allows engineers to “build” and test the car all on the computer, moving around and swapping out components. The library is the perfect location for the new lab, says Carol Hixson, dean of university libraries, because it is traditionally a site of serendipitous learning and discovery. “We already serve all disciplines and all students, so we’re ideally positioned to provide the broadest possible connections,” she adds. “Our goal is to be open and inclusive to everyone.” The involvement of all students, regardless of major, is critical, according to Hahn. “With AI, there is so much that needs to be done, almost any student with any interest can contribute,” he notes. “We say all are welcome, but we’re really saying all are required.” To that end, Hahn believes the traditional campus model that puts math, science, and technology on one side and humanities on the
other needs to change. “We want to break down the barriers and get them working together. Students don’t need to understand everything about AI technology, but they need to be literate. This is no longer just nerd stuff. It’s moved out of the laboratory into the real world, and we want students across all disciplines to understand how it can advance their particular field.” Inevitably, new science breeds new ways of living—and results in novel issues. There are human dilemmas intertwined with the emerging technology that students in philosophy, psychology, and law will be able to help solve, says Ata Sarajedini, dean of FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. “Our technology students are focused on learning the language and how to teach and program the machines, but there are ethical and legal questions as to how it will be used effectively. For example, do you program a self-driving car to avoid a pedestrian or run into a pole? We need all disciplines because the future will be built through AI.” The vision for the lab is more than a training ground for learning and exploration; in fact, students and faculty are already using it to develop real-life applications impacting the community. FAU is partnering with Max Planck

WE ALREADY SERVE ALL DISCIPLINES AND ALL STUDENTS, SO WE’RE IDEALLY POSITIONED TO PROVIDE THE BROADEST POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS. OUR GOAL IS TO BE OPEN AND INCLUSIVE TO EVERYONE.” —Carol Hixson Florida Institute for Neuroscience in Jupiter to analyze different features in cells and rapidly further the organization’s research. Another current project is a collaboration with James Galvin, a professor of integrated medical science and the founding director of the Comprehensive Center for Brain Health at FAU, to determine early markers of dementia so physicians will be able to provide simple tests and head off the disease, according to Elan Barenholtz, co-director of the Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Lab and an associate professor in the psychology department and the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences at FAU. “With AI, we can analyze the huge amount of data on cognitive decline that they are collecting and help develop tools,” he says. “Ideally, we’re trying to find clinical diagnostic capabilities for treatment. For example, can we identify early onset through a patient’s gait, or how they move their eyes, or in their speech?” Intervention is key, he adds, because when a patient is showing signs of disease, it’s typically too late to reverse it. Because students are free to work on projects that interest them, there is a variety of innovations in various design stages. One group is building a self-driving golf cart, initially to be used for transporting students around campus. Another student is working on a small chip that can be worn by diabetics to detect changes in blood sugar and alert the individual through a smartphone. “We believe AI should help real people with real problems,” says Hahn. “We want to develop robots with a sense of smell that can help identify fire or
074_FAU_AI_0919.indd 77
environmental hazards like pollution in the air. We also want to develop a robotic search and rescue dog for hurricane-damaged areas, for example. The robots can go in and detect human distress through voices and activity.” With AI, it seems the future is only limited by imagination, and that’s why the open-door approach is so important. “At least once every day, students knock on the door and ask how they can be involved,” says Hahn. “We always ask them a sort-of trick question: ‘What is your major?’ Whatever they tell us, we say, ‘You’re perfect.’” Hixson says the goal is to eventually allow non-students into the lab, too. “We’re still working out how students and the public will

have access to computers, but the expectation is that the public can come in and observe or maybe engage eventually,” she says. “We plan for one wall of the lab to be all windows so people will almost discover it by accident. We want to draw them in because they’ve walked by, looked through the windows, and wondered what’s going on inside. We’re honored to be the place [the Grubers] have chosen for the lab. We’re incredibly grateful to them and their motivation [to get] students to explore learning on their own terms.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2019

FISHER POTTER HODAS
Fisher Potter Hodas is a powerhouse partnership of family law and civil trial attorneys modeled after the elite New York litigation boutiques. The firm was created to offer clients a different kind of family law firm, one in which they can find the quality of service they seek from top New York commercial firms combined with the experience of seasoned trial lawyers. Fisher Potter Hodas concentrates its practice on complex, high-stakes divorce litigation involving corporate executives, professional athletes, and other high-net-worth individuals. In the last two years, the firm has tried 10 cases with a total amount in dispute of more than $1.75 billion. The firm also routinely handles cases with similarly substantial amounts of disputed assets outside of the courtroom. Because the partners represent some of the wealthiest families in the country, as well as celebrities, the firm’s cases regularly appear in the media. For example, The New York Times Magazine recently ran a feature story on the partners’ work in uncovering hidden offshore assets, titled “How to Hide $400 Million.” The firm’s
partners have also been interviewed by national news publications seeking their opinions on high-profile divorces, including recent interviews for CNN and CNBC following the announcement of the Bezos divorce. The attorneys at Fisher Potter Hodas are experienced litigators with backgrounds as federal prosecutors, corporate trial attorneys, and appellate practitioners who have been recognized locally, nationally, and worldwide in the field of marital law. The credentials of the lawyers who work at Fisher Potter Hodas run the gamut of the Ivy League, with college and law school degrees from Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. Also, in 2018, partner Jeff Fisher was named the Daily Business Review’s most effective lawyer in the field of family/probate law. Firm members have also risen to the top of Florida’s Family Law Bar. Fisher and fellow partner Ben Hodas are both board-certified in family and marital law, and Hodas recently completed his term as chairman of the Marital and Family Law Board Certification Committee.

Lewis, a managing partner of the Morgan & Morgan Business Trial Group, represents businesses and individuals that have been damaged due to fraud, contract breaches, investment losses, and the misconduct of professionals.

Lewis serves on the Florida Bar’s Committee on Professionalism, he has been the chair of the Palm Beach County Bar’s Business Litigation Committee as well as its Circuit Court Civil Committee, and he was elected to the executive committee of the University of Florida Law Alumni Council.

TASTE RESTAURANTS
Influenced by Asian immigration, Spanish colonization, and Incan roots, Peruvian cuisine reflects the country’s melting pot of cultures. Chef Carlos Brescia, a native Peruvian, explores the depths of this region at Dr. Limón on Clematis Street, the first Palm Beach County location of his empire of Miamiarea restaurants. Here, diners can discover that there’s much more to Peru than the ubiquitous spicy aji amarillo yellow pepper sauce, pisco, and ceviche—though there are plenty (17 to be exact) of those to sample, too. Pulling inspiration from everyday street food and the fresh catches common in his hometown of Chiclayo on the coast of northern Peru, Brescia puts out plates that span from traditional, like beef heart kebabs (don’t knock it till you try it), to fusion, like sushi rolls. Other creations such as el loco calato—raw fish and ceviche fixings that have been battered and flash-fried for 20 seconds—are all his own and express the experimental spirit that embodies modern Peru.

THE LOWDOWN
INDIAN 101
A beginner’s guide to this spiceforward cuisine that ranks among the world’s best By Mary Murray
«
THE BACKGROUND India is home to more than 1.3 billion people living across 29 states. This results in a plethora of regional cuisines that are primarily divided into two categories: north and south. Northern Indian food features a lot of influences from the Middle East, as seen in its favoring of flatbreads and spice-heavy, oft-creamy stews (curries). Southern Indian food is more tied to Hindu culinary traditions, with a heavier reliance on rice, legumes, and vegetables. Throughout the subcontinent, and across Indian menus, beef is not as prevalent as it is in America because cows are sacred to Hindus, and pork is also scant because Muslims do not eat it. The most common meats are chicken, goat, and lamb, in addition to fish.
«
THE CONDIMENTS Indian chutneys are endlessly versatile and abundant. Some favorites are hari, a cilantro condiment often served with fried bites like samosas, and tamarind, which lends a sweet-and-sour flavor. There’s also an onion relish that pairs well with papadums, crispy wafers made from lentil or chickpea flour. A yogurt sauce known as raita is another mainstay; be sure to request this if you accidently order a spice level that leaves you hot and bothered.
THE DISHES Let’s focus on a few of the most common appetizers and entrees on Indian menus. Samosas—fried dumplings filled with veggies or meat—are universally beloved. Also fried, pakoras are vegetable fritters made with chickpea batter. Speaking of chickpeas, these legumes reach new heights of deliciousness in Indian cooking. You’ll see them labeled as chana on menus, and a great introduction is chana masala. Perhaps the most well-known Indian dish in the U.S. is chicken tikka masala, wherein marinated chicken is served in a creamy sauce that frequently features tomatoes. Tandoor-cooked meats are also prevalent, as well as vindaloo (a pepper-centric curry), rogan josh (typically lamb or goat braised in an aromatic gravy), and dosas (rice and lentil crepes packed with spiced veggies or meat).
«
FEEL READY TO GIVE INDIAN FOOD A GO? THE BEST WAY TO TEST THE WATER IS BY VISITING A LUNCH BUFFET. AROMA INDIAN CUISINE IN WEST PALM BEACH SERVES A VAST AND COMPREHENSIVE SMORGASBORD DAILY. (AROMAWESTPALMBEACH.COM)
« THE SIDES Regardless of what you order, you’ll most likely receive basmati rice. Native to India and Pakistan, this long-grain rice boasts nutty, floral undertones, making it the perfect accompaniment to Indian food. If you enjoy rice as an entree, then try biryani, which is spiced with mixes like garam masala, dotted with meat or fish, and topped with nuts, onions, and maybe fresh fruits or herbs, depending on the regional influence. Breads are also key to the experience. Baked in a clay oven (or tandoor), naan is by far the most common flatbread. You’re also likely to come across roti, which is unleavened; paratha, which is basically a layered roti often stuffed with a sweet or savory filling; and fried variations such as poori.

COCKTAIL CORNER
CUCUMBER FIZZ today’s cocktail culture. “It’s perfect for this time of year—refreshing, flavorful, and easy to drink.” (coyo-taco.com/palm-beach) —Mark Spivak CUCUMBER FIZZ 3 oz. Nolet’s gin Cucumber Mint Lime juice ¼ oz. simple syrup Club soda
Muddle cucumber, mint, lime juice, and simple syrup; shake vigorously with gin and ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with a cucumber slice and mint sprig.
DEYSON RODRIGUEZ
Seasoned Floridians understand that September can be the warmest month of the year. At Coyo Taco in Palm Beach, the Cucumber Fizz is an antidote to the late summer heat. “We naturally specialize in Mexican cocktails such as margaritas and palomas,” says general manager Ron Soderblom. “But our clientele is both sophisticated and diverse, and they frequently want a change of pace from tequila.” Nolet’s gin, crafted by a family company in Holland since 1691, acts as the foundation of the Cucumber Fizz. Soderblom feels that it is smoother and softer than most gins, with a milder flavor less influenced by botanicals. It also pairs well with food, a quality known as “ginstronomy” in

The combination reaches its apotheosis in Sant Ambroeus’ Gianduia cake, which combines hazelnut dacquoise and cream, gianduia mousse, a crispy feuilletine, and a milk chocolate glaze that gives new meaning to the word “decadent.” If ever there was a reason to cheat on keto, Gianduia is it. Palm Beach (sant ambroeus.com)
1. Grand Marnier Soufflé with Dark Chocolate Ice Cream, Café Boulud Mark Spivak, Wine & Spirits Editor Pastry chef Julie Franceschini has taken a classic of haute cuisine and given it a modern, creative twist. The bitter chocolate contrasts with the orange flavor of the Grand Marnier, and the soothing ice cream forms a counterpoint with the warm, fluffy soufflé. Eventually your taste buds sort things out, and the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Palm Beach (cafeboulud.com/palmbeach)
3. Coffee and Doughnuts, Tanzy Liz Petoniak, Senior Editor This simple pairing gets the molecular gastronomy treatment at Tanzy, where pastry chef James Rosselle deconstructs a hot cup of joe into a cool parfait of mocha mousse, coffee caramel, and coffee ice cream pearls, like a grown-up version of Dippin’ Dots. The pâte à choux doughnuts tossed in vanilla-scented sugar make a perfect match— while they last. Crispy on the initial bite, the fluffy dough promptly melts in your mouth.

OFF THE VINE
WHEN TWO Become One
Grape hybrids and crosses help to solve oenology issues and increase selection for WINE LOVERS
I
By Mark Spivak
n the wine world, hybrid grape varieties and crosses are similar to the crazy uncle at the Thanksgiving table. He may be amusing, but you wouldn’t want to spend your summer vacation with him. Consumers can easily confuse a hybrid with a cross, but they are different. A hybrid is the result of combining two distinct grape species. Most common wine varieties (such as Chardonnay, Cabernet, or Pinot Noir) belong to the Vitis vinifera species. When you join a vinifera grape with a member of Vitis labrusca or Vitis riparia, you get a hybrid; famous examples include Maréchal Foch, Vidal, and Vignoles. A cross, on the other hand, unites grape varieties from the same species, such as the South African Pinotage (a cross between Cinsault and Pinot Noir). Most hybrids are born of necessity. Vidal Blanc and Vignoles were engineered to survive severely cold climates, where wine grapes other-
wise wouldn’t grow. At the other end of the thermostat, warm-weather hybrids such as Blanc du Bois (developed at the University of Florida in 1968) were designed for regions such as Texas, Georgia, or Louisiana, where vine diseases prevent conventional wine grapes from flourishing. Among fans of familiar varieties, part of the resistance to hybrids is olfactory: Unlike standards such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, hybrids tend to have a distinctive gamey or foxy aroma. Part of it is fashion: Many modern wine consumers have been acculturated to prefer dry wine, and they tend to think of Southern wine as sweet. In fact, Blanc du Bois can produce a dry, crisp, and floral white wine as well as a dessert version, but preconceptions sometimes die harder than Bruce Willis. Crosses of grapes within the same species may also be designed to solve a problem. This was the motivation for professor Luigi Manzoni

Alois Lageder’s Fórra is one of the finest examples of Manzoni Bianco, a Riesling and Pinot Blanc cross first created between 1930 and 1935.
GREGOR KHUEN BELASI
when he invented a series of new varieties at Italy’s school of oenology in Conegliano in the 1920s and ’30s. The most famous is Manzoni Bianco, a cross between Riesling and Pinot Blanc that also has the advantage of ripening early and being resistant to powdery mildew and rot. Probably the best version of Manzoni Bianco is Fórra ($30), made by the Alois Lageder winery in Alto Adige. It has an intriguing nose of stone fruit, quince, and ripe melon. The wine’s initial richness is balanced by good acidity, with a finish that is long and resonant. The texture is ripe and opulent, almost unctuous, featuring flavors of stewed apricots, citrus zest, fig, and mandarin orange. Another riveting example is Kerner, a cross between Riesling and Trollinger developed in Germany in 1929. David Ramey’s Sidebar Cellars grows and vinifies California’s only planting of Kerner, located along the Mokelumne River in Lodi. The 2018 Sidebar Cellars Kerner ($25) has fetching scents of lime blossom, minerals, and citrus. The wine is vibrant and spicy on entry, displaying sparkling acidity and a fine peppery edge. Neither crosses nor hybrids should be confused with the native muscadines that grow naturally across the United States. Southern varieties
include Carlos and Noble, as well as the famous North Carolina Scuppernong. These large grapes have thick skins that are rich in antioxidants, and they produce wine in a range of styles; here in Florida, the most successful versions come from Lakeridge Winery in Clermont. Whether you choose to try a hybrid, cross, or muscadine, the world of wine is larger than you may have originally thought. «

DESIGN
A sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic commingles with location-specific accents in this space by designer Lauren Czarniecki of Czar Interiors. Having tired of living in Miami, her clients were looking for a place where they could indulge their passion for golf when they weren’t at their North Carolina mountain home; they fell in love with this ocean-view Delray Beach condo that allows them access to the Seagate Country Club and its championship 18-hole course. Czarniecki sought to evoke a New York loft feel for the living area but infuse it with Florida style. Rather than a dark and moody ambience,
123_HOME_0919.indd 123
she opted for light and airy, with the addition of a painted brick wall for texture. She incorporated ochre tones and blue hues throughout, as seen in statement pieces such as a Roche Bobois chair and an Ironies by Jerry Pair side table, as well as in more subtle detailing, like the blue welting on the bespoke Baxter sofa. Czarniecki’s favorite elements, however, are the custom-made coffee tables. “I had a lot of fun selecting the slab—which has a lot of color and movement in it—and loved creating the amorphic design templates with our fabricators,” she says. “They turned out gorgeous.” Delray Beach (czarinteriors.com)

GOOD VIBRATIONS Designer Gil Walsh of Gil Walsh Interiors was given creative license to crank up the volume through a strategic use of color. “This turquoise and orange den complements a colorful Palm Beach living room,” says Walsh. “Our client wanted the den to be a vibrant color that added energy to the space while highlighting the mirror and framed prints she inherited from her grandmother. The patterned Brunschwig wallpaper undoubtedly makes a statement and imbues a sense of celebration. Adding a pop of turquoise in the lamps, chairs, and accent pillow balances the bold orange with an easy, relaxed feeling.” West Palm Beach (gilwalsh.com)

BALANCE By Liza Grant Smith
NOURISH
Got Milk? A growing array of milk alternatives are popping up on grocery shelves. While soy may be the original favorite, it’s only one member of the “in” crowd shaking up the dairy industry. Oat milk achieved such intense popularity in 2018 that New York experienced a city-wide shortage, with some people paying more than $200 to procure a 12-pack on Amazon. Turn the page to meet some of the most prominent nondairy contenders.

BALANCE Got Milk? Continued
SOY MILK This OG substitute is made by soaking and blending soy beans and straining out the remaining pulp. It’s a good source of protein, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, and is suitable for people with lactose, milk protein, or gluten intolerances. However, because soy milk contains isoflavones, which have a similar chemical structure to estrogen, drinking too much can impact the effect of estrogen in our bodies. COCONUT MILK This tropical-tasting milk combines water and the white flesh of brown coconuts. While magnesium, iron, and potassium make this option a nutrient powerhouse, full-fat coconut milk is also high in calories—with a considerable percentage coming from saturated fat. It also has the lowest protein and carbohydrate content of non-dairy milks. ALMOND MILK Almond milk is a mixture of finely ground almonds and water. In comparison with cow’s milk, unsweetened almond milk has less than
a quarter of the calories and no saturated fat. It’s also a natural source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects against disease-causing free radicals. On the downside, many almond milk brands contain only 2 percent almonds, making it a less concentrated source of the nutrients, like protein and fiber, found in whole almonds. PEA MILK This creamy alternative comprises pea protein isolate, water, and other emulsifiers like algal oil, sunflower oil, and guar and gellan gums. Its protein content is comparable to cow’s milk, and the algal oil also provides DHA, an
Just like our bodies, the brain requires exercise to reach peak performance—and there are numerous activities that can train it to work hard and stay sharp. One of those is cooking. Preparing a meal encompasses responsibilities that challenge the brain’s ability to multitask, manage processes, and create better temporal awareness. Cooking also nurtures creativity and problem-solving capabilities, and the physical skill set of meal prep—like chopping, kneading, and mixing ingredients—uses motion control and hand-eye coordination. Want to crank up the intensity of your cognitive cooking workout? Try these challenges:

Forgo old favorites for new recipes. A new recipe requires you to break out of a routine and rely more on problem solving and critical thinking.
OAT MILK This trendy contender, with its mildly sweet flavor, is made from a mixture of oats and water. High in protein and fiber, oat milk contains beta-glucan, which can help lower cholesterol and blood-sugar levels and may increase satiated feelings after a meal. But, oat milk can have up to double the carbohydrates as cow’s milk and only half the protein.

Feeling HOT, HOT, HOT Sweat equity is nothing new in the world of detoxification and muscle recovery, but infrared saunas have seen a significant uptick in recent years. What is it about this new twist on an old favorite that has the health community and celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Cindy Crawford, and Gwyneth Paltrow buzzing? In traditional saunas, the temperature inside is raised to between 169 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit using a heating element to warm stones and radiate heat, with humidity created by pouring water onto the stones. This environment can be difficult to tolerate, and too much time in a traditional sauna can cause dehydration and possible heat exhaustion. An infrared sauna, on the other hand, utilizes panels to emit infrared invisible light that is absorbed through the skin’s surface. Instead of heating the room, this light heats your body in a safe and effective way. Temperatures range between a more tolerable 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Beyond the issue of comfort, infrared saunas also boast some significant purported health advantages, detoxication and antiaging chief among them. By sweating out the toxins, you are promoting purification of the
000_BALANCE_0919.indd 135
skin and collagen growth. There’s also post-workout muscle and cell recovery; improved circulation and increased cardiac activity; pain, wound, and arthritis relief; reduced stress, tension, anxiety, and depression; and the potential for weight loss. In West Palm Beach, Zen Sweat Den offers 30- or 60-minute infrared sauna sessions. Laurie Chaplin, the spa’s “Head of Zen,” says clients will experience increased benefits the longer the session, however, any time spent will be beneficial. For specific relief of symptoms related to injury or chronic conditions, Chaplin recommends booking two to three sessions per week. Other advice? Come dressed in your “beach best” and be ready to sweat it out. (zen sweatden.com)
SUN SAFETY
Summer Skin Recovery The summer season may be winding down, but its sizzle can impact your skin in the long-term. Here, Donna Mainiero, spa director at Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa, shares her skin-saving strategies to help you weather the Florida sun. (hutchinsonshores.com) PBI: What does a summer of outdoor fun do to our skin? Mainiero: Summer sun is an excellent way to absorb vitamin D. However, too much sun exposure, even with sunscreen, allows UV rays to reach your inner skin layers. This can cause major damage to skin cells [which can lead to] premature aging and skin cancer. What is the top skin-care issue we need to address when summer comes to a close? Many seem to believe that regardless of the lifestyle we choose during particular seasons we can make up for the neglect to our skin routine later on. A daily focus is the key to adapting good habits. Hydration is a major factor in promoting beautiful skin at any age and any season. Also, adding antioxidants to your diet and skin-care routine helps to repair and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and excessive sun exposure. What do you recommend clients do between spa visits to aid in skin health and recovery? I cannot stress enough the importance of hydration. As we know, water is the most vital source of energy in the body. Making water consumption a priority helps with digestion [and in] releasing harmful elements from the body, which affects our skin and improves overall health. Another vital habit for healthy skin is the daily use of serums. Our No. 1 go-to at The Opal Spa is Osea’s Hyaluronic Sea Serum. Hyaluronic acid is nature’s most powerful moisture magnet, attracting a thousand times its weight in water, strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier, and visibly improving elasticity and firmness, all while plumping and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. What is the biggest thing people tend to overlook in their skin-care routine? The biggest thing we tend to overlook is that our skin is affected by what we eat, how we eat, and everything that goes into our bodies. Making smart decisions toward healthy habits and adding supplements can slow down the aging process, helping skin recover and show a healthier glow. PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2019

hen the U.S. entered World War II in December 1941, nearly every American household—96.2 percent—had a radio. For the first time ever, recorded and live music was broadcasted across the world on an unheardof scale. Americans at home and those fighting abroad could listen to tunes like The Andrews Sisters’ “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and, for a few minutes, join together in enjoyment. A new musical group, The Victory Dolls, is reviving those WWII–era hits, with the goal of

inspiring audiences and honoring those who have served. This month, they’ll premiere I Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen, featuring a vintage aesthetic and choreography paired with modern renditions of 1940s classics in threepart harmony. Performances are scheduled for September 20 at the Delray Beach Playhouse and September 21 at the Mizner Park Cultural Center in Boca Raton. All shows will benefit and raise awareness for veterans and military organizations such as Honor Flight of South Florida. “With so many of the Greatest Generation passing away, I wanted to help keep this music alive for all to enjoy and remember a time when we worked together for the good of the country,” says producer Kevin Barrett. “The Victory Dolls will be a symbol of that era and help entertain and educate patrons on the significance of that time period.” (thevictorydolls.com) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2019

Fans of the mega-hit HBO show Game of Thrones, which aired its last episode in May, will be able to return to the realms of Westeros when the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience arrives at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre September 21. The immersive orchestral production features music by Emmy Award–winning composer Ramin Djawadi set to visuals from GOT and new imagery made specially for this tour. Attendees will hear songs spanning the show’s entire run, from that iconic opening credits tune to the final season’s chilling Night King theme. If the words valar morghulis don’t mean anything to you, fret not—it’s still sure to be an exciting evening of live music. But, for those who have “The Rains of Castamere” as their ringtone, use “The Winds of Winter” as their get-pumped jam, or hum “Jenny of Oldstones” on the daily, this is the concert for you.

While tattoos are often associated with rebellion and counterculture, the act of permanently marking skin has been commonplace throughout human history. In 1991, a 5,200-year-old mummified iceman was discovered in Europe, his body riddled with dots and small crosses. Upon review, researchers came to believe the tattoos might have been employed in a therapeutic capacity to alleviate joint pain. While this is the earliest known example, tattooing has been used across just about every civilization since and for a variety of reasons, including as status symbols, indicators of religious beliefs, punishments, and creative expression. Today, tattooing has entered a new stratosphere of popularity, with tattoo art crossing over into fine art and vice versa. Beginning September 3, the Lighthouse ArtCenter in Tequesta will explore the evolution of this ancient art form in “Tattoo: The Renaissance of Body Art.” The special exhibition will boast original art by Ed Hardy; photographs of tattoos; vintage flash tattoos from primitive, tribal, and modern cultures; and contemporary 2-D and 3-D tattoo-inspired works, many of which will be available for purchase. Antique tattooing equipment and custom motorcycles by Ron Finch will also be on display. Next month, on October 17, the Lighthouse ArtCenter will present a complementary fashion show featuring garments by Bosha Stone designed to accentuate tattoos. (lighthousearts.org)
