FANFARE

SHELL DECOR

Far from utilitarian, some fans are almost a work of art.

Bring the beach’s gifts inside your home, but not by the bucket full.

from the editor

A WAY OF LIFE It was the water that made the greatest impression on me the first time I came to Tampa 30 years ago to visit a college friend. It was all around us.

She drove along Bayshore Boulevard and the Courtney Campbell Causeway with barely a mention of it unless she spotted a dolphin.

I couldn’t believe we were passing water, waves, boats and dolphins, not only when we headed to the beach, but simply going to the mall.

I still make a habit of taking the slightly longer way home from work so I can drive by the water.

It’s relaxing. It’s thrilling. It shimmers. It’s dark.

It’s choppy. It’s like glass. It’s steady yet constantly changing. Coastal living gives us all a way of life and state of mind that’s not available most places.

Many years ago a favorite nurse at our pediatrician’s office told me her teenage son was acting out and struggling with his peers at school.

She asked if I could get the newspaper’s outdoors writer Terry Tomalin’s autograph for her son to

boost his confidence and make a connection with a positive role model.

I called my co-worker and got his signature voice mail greeting: “I’m either on the phone or on the water. Leave a message.” Terry scoffed at giving his autograph.

“What I want to do is take him out fishing. A day on the water is always good for you,” he said.

He did, and it was a great day for the young man.

Terry, who died in May, spent years enjoying the waters throughout the Tampa Bay area with family, friends and Boy Scouts. He certainly took advantage of coastal living, as we all should.

Whether we live on the water or visit it on weekends, own a boat or take a rod to the pier, living on the coast offers a great way of life.

Sit back, on the water of course, and enjoy Bay’s first Coastal Living issue.

FLORAL FLIGHT

Living near the coast gives us the luxury of looking perfectly appropriate, no matter what we wear. This breezy halter dress looks great when you dress it up with heels and elegant jewelry or simply wear it by itself with bare feet. The lovely water-color effect on the lightweight silky fabric make this the go-to dress for any place, any hour, any day.

CANDLE SHAKE-UP These candlesticks crafted from vintage salt and pepper shakers are recycled functional art at its best.

They will brighten any table or mantelpiece and offer mysteries of where the owl once shook or who might have sprinkled salt on his eggs with the dachshund.

New York artists Bill and Marcia Finks have been creating such works since 1990. A few pieces are carried at Bergdorf Goodman, but find them locally at the Oxford Exchange. ($500 each.)

SUCCULENT SENSATIONS This is the ultimate combination of efficiency. Succulents, which retain water better than most plants and need very little maintenance, in upcycled containers.

The father-daughter team at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Succulents are nurturing the growing appreciation of succulents at their farm in Tampa as well as at markets around Tampa Bay. They have an array of containers in which to plant, from wine corks to a plastic dinosaur to ceramic canisters. You can also bring your own. This succulent-filled tea cup is $30.

POUF IT UP It was born in the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century as a low seat piled high with pillows and grew into a much more tailored look in the Jeffersonian era.

Now the ottoman is getting back to its roots as an elegant, colorful â&#x20AC;&#x153;pouf.â&#x20AC;?

This Cisco Brothers piece ($708) could be just the spark needed to give a family room a fresh look as a footrest for a chair or sofa. It can also be a great new coffee table or extra seat around the family board game.

THE DREAM HOME LISA AND MARK EITHER BUILT IN BELLEAIR SHORES GRATIFIES WITH ITS EXPANSIVE VIEWS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO.

BY KATHERINE SNOW SMITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY JIM DAMASKE

Before moving to their dream house in Belleair Shores, Lisa and Mark Either and their kids came most weekends from their Tampa home to a condo they owned on the beach.

“As soon as we crossed the bridge I could just feel the stress leave,” Lisa Either recalled. “For me, it’s so calming to hear the waves and see the water.”

After living in their newly built home for about 18 months, she still isn’t numb to the effects of living by the water. When the weather is cool enough, she regularly opens the six-panel glass accordion doors, leaving no barrier between the beach and her living room.

She sees dolphins often.

Above, the view from the living room is expansive in Lisa and Mark Either’s Key West-style home in Belleair Shores.

“They never get old. Every time I see one I have to stop whatever I’m doing and watch it until I can’t see it anymore,” she said.

She and her husband sit outside on the terrace even on hot summer nights when a breeze makes it comfortable.

They walk the beach every evening.

The 9,000-square-foot home built by Premier Shelters is a mix of Key West and traditional styles. Somewhere along the way of planning it, she heard the phrase “coastal elegance” and decided that was the style she wanted.

The Eithers found a 10-foot-long slab of blue granite for the kitchen island at Cutting Edge Granite and it dictated the rest of the home’s look.

The kitchen counters and living room fireplace are made of a complementary blue marble. The walls are various shades of blue that pop against the white beadboard accents and coffered ceilings.

The “coastal elegance” style is evident in the living room.

At left, the fireplace is made of blue marble.

At right, the terrace and its lounge deck overlook the pool and the Gulf of Mexico.

A great rug in blue and green tones for the living room reminds her of sea glass.

The couple’s love of the water also influenced the home’s architectural design.

Along with a view of the Gulf of Mexico from the big swath of glass windows and doors in the living room and kitchen, there’s also a view of the water from every bedroom and bathroom. And you can see it from the upstairs recreation room, which has a pool table.

It has blue felt, of course, covering the slate.

At top, the 9,000-square-foot home fronts the Gulf of Mexico and has a water view from most rooms.

LIGHTS ON THE WATER MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN, MILES FROM REALITY, A HARBOUR ISLAND HOME HAS THE LOOK AND FEEL OF A REMOTE OASIS.

BY AMY SCHERZER PHOTOGRAPHS BY LARA CERRI

Only birds get a more interesting view than the one Ron and Beverly Bailey see from their home on the southernmost tip of Harbour Island. Sixteen years since the Baileys bought Lot 1 in The Pointe, a gated block of 10 homes jutting into Seddon Channel, and still they’re awestruck.

“It’s just delightful,” said Beverly Bailey, scanning for daily seafaring scenery. “Pleasure boats, stand-up paddleboarders, dinner yachts, jet skiers, kayaks, tugboats, cruise ships, rowers. The aquarium’s Dolphin Quest,” she lists.

“Occasionally a dolphin will venture by and stick its snout out of the water.”

A swivel recliner in the family room is her favorite vantage point. With Precious, her petite Maltese, on her lap, she

observes the waterfront through wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, eyes moving beyond the lagoon swimming pool that meanders like a lazy river across the back yard. Lush, tropical landscaping and lighting rival a Disney resort, incorporating waterfalls, a sand-filled beach, a grotto deep enough for diving and a hot spa.

A boardwalk leads to the home’s signature lighthouse.

Tall as the FAA allows, it shines from dusk to dawn.

For Ron Bailey, his second-floor bedroom offers an unparalleled panorama of the Port of Tampa’s container ships, tankers and cruise liners from three wide windows and a balcony. Binoculars are more than decor in the seaworthy suite where the bathroom sink bears a tall sailing ship and compass faucets, rope boat knots are framed on the walls and a ship’s wheel centers the ceiling fan.

At left, fun coral light fixtures and whimsical fish “swim” up a spiral stairwell to the laundry and craft room and guest suite.

On dual staircases adjacent to the front door, murals depict the Bailey family history — childhood, church and career.

Over the bed hangs a photo of him dressed in pirate garb.

And could there be any better place to celebrate the Gasparilla invasion? Hundreds of boats and one huge pirate barge blast past once a year, shooting cannons and hurling beads.

“We’ve had some glorious Gasparilla parties,” Beverly said.

She was the one who named the house La Casa del Caballo de Mar for her love of sea horses, which pop up everywhere, on wrought-iron chairs, artwork and collectibles.

“I just love them,” she said, a twinkle in her eye. “Maybe because the male carries the babies.”

Both 75, born under Pisces, the water sign, the Baileys have been married 54 years. Frequent trips from their Virginia home to Tampa began when their son Kyle was a student at University of Tampa in 1996. Then another son, Kent, moved to Tampa after law school.

“We asked ourselves, ‘What are we waiting for?’,” said Ron Bailey. He’s the proud grandfather of eight children, elementary to college age, including two “honorary grandchildren,” offspring of a close business associate.

She shares credit for the many aquatic accents with their real estate agent, Doris Edwards, who doubles as an interior decorator. There are colorful fish painted as though they are swimming up a spiral staircase that’s lit by spiky coral light fixtures.

On dual staircases adjacent to the front door, murals depict the Bailey family history — childhood, church and career.

“But the elevator has proven vital,” Ron said. He often requires a wheelchair since two episodes of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, 10 years apart.

Early on, the philanthropic couple hosted numerous charity benefits for Tampa General, the Salvation Army, the Children’s Home, the Florida Aquarium and 13 Ugly Men.

These days, the family is more inclined to write generous checks, sending hefty gifts to the Florida Orchestra, Tampa Bay History Center, the University of Tampa and other recipients. Ron served on several boards, including eight years as a UT trustee when he funded the R.K. Bailey Arts Studio.

And construction is under way on the Bailey Family Center for the Arts, a 350-seat theater and classroom building they underwrote at the Academy of the Holy Names.

Ron made his fortune guiding Strayer University, based in Washington, D.C., where he began as a teacher of computer information in 1974, then professor in 1981, rising from vice president to CEO when he bought a controlling interest in 1989.

Inside the tall glass front doors are murals depicting Ron and Beverly Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family history painted along dual staircases leading to the second-floor bedrooms.

Twin lounge chairs face Davis Islands and an ever-flowing maritime scene in Seddon Channel.

“I took it public, sold it and was handsomely rewarded,” he said. Strayer grew from 17 campuses when he sold it in 2000 to 83 now.

But don’t think the self-professed workaholic has retired.

Since moving the $50 million Bailey Family Foundation fund from Virginia to Tampa Bay “to support the community in which we live,” he has awarded $25 million in college scholarships. One worthy student from every high school in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Polk counties is selected to receive a $5,000 scholarship, renewable for five years.

“Kids who can truly benefit,” said Ron, who can be found in the Hyde Park office four mornings a week. Last year, about 3,500 applications resulted in 580 scholarships totalling $2.9 million.

Like the Bailey lighthouse, the foundation hopes to be a beacon unto the community.

TUSCAN INSPIRED

GRACEFUL ARCHWAYS AND AGED STONE GIVE A WATERFRONT DREAM HOME A FEELING OF ITALY.

Above, arched windows and aged stone walls evoke the Tuscany region of Italy.

At left, the long kitchen table is made of distressed wood.

The patterned fabric on the chairs was chosen to be child-friendly.

Kim and Hutch Craig’s home isn’t your typical Florida house. Visitors are transported instantly to the Tuscany region of Italy via arched windows, wide plank floors, trickling fountains, aged brick and stone walls, exposed beams, colorful tiles, a 500-year-old sink and an open, airy feel indoors and out. The house has great variation in height with some parts one story, some two stories and a family room ceiling soaring to 22 feet.

The Craigs didn’t import an architect from Italy, how-

ever. They didn’t spend months planning their dream home with a local architect. They found one online and never even met him in person.

“We’d go on Houzz (Houzz.com) and see photos of houses we loved and again and again they were by the same architect,” said Kim Craig, as she gathered up her daughters’ trail of popcorn, a plastic recorder, Lego square and pink hair clip before a photo shoot of her St. Petersburg home. “Tuscan village is the look we were going for and (the architect) knew exactly what we wanted.”

The architect turned out to be Vanguard Studios of Austin, Texas.

After just a few phone conversations and emails of photographs, a drawing arrived in the mail and it barely changed from that moment to completion. Along with the Tuscan feel, the Craigs had three other governing edicts.

They wanted the water to be visible as much as possible, they wanted lots of light and they wanted their home to be comfortable.

“With kids, we wanted them to be able to come in in wet swimsuits and it didn’t matter,” Kim Craig said pointing to the patterned fabric on the chairs that go with the long kitchen table made of distressed wood. Beside it sits a buffet table she found at Schiller’s Architectural & Design Salvage in Tampa.

“I think it actually was a wooden workbench in somebody’s garage,” Craig said. She also made a table in the outdoor kitchen out of a three-sided wrought-iron railing found at Schiller’s by having a concrete slab made to order for the top.

But neither of those pieces is the oldest or most unique in the home. That honor goes to the 500-year-old stone sink in the downstairs guest bathroom. It was originally a drinking trough for animals on a French farm. Craig found the 1,000-pound piece on Ancientsurfaces.com, a wealth of stone fountains, benches, mantels and more from around the world.

The back porch affords an expansive view of Tampa Bay. At right, looking up at the back porch from the pool area.

In Hutch Craig’s office, there’s a display case that at first glance appears to be an antique wooden key holder from some old hotel. It has brass plates engraved with a number under each compartment.

“I think that’s from Pottery Barn,” Kim Craig said. “This whole house is a combination of old and new.” There’s the ancient sink from France as well as pieces picked up from HomeGoods, she said with a laugh.

But still, the key rack doubling as a display case is misleading. Each compartment holds interesting items: a circuit board, a thick cellphone, fossils, geodes, model cars. Do the Craigs’ daughters stash their collections in Dad’s office?

No, the items belong to their father.

“I’m not a hoarder, I just pick certain things that spark a memory,” said Hutch Craig. He recently sold a software company he co-owned called Aboutyourmembership.com, and the wheels are turning hard on what will be next.

The lights in the office look like vintage fans but are actually reproductions made by Lightstyle, a lighting company in Tampa.

The spacious kitchen was a must-have for Kim Craig, who loves to cook.

Lighting is a key element of the home’s design, all of it personally selected by Kim Craig.

“I love everything they have,” Kim Craig said. “I think I picked out every light in this house in an hour-and-a-half.”

At the base of the stairs hang lights with patterns cut in the metal surrounding the bulbs.

“I love the pattern of light they throw on the wall,” she said.

Ahh yes, the light. It’s a key element of the home’s design.

The Craigs decided the covered terrace off the family room would be narrow, just 15 feet, so that the roof didn’t block too much light from coming in the glass doors and windows on the family room.

And when a decorator wanted to hang drapes on those same windows and doors, slightly blocking out light and the view of the water, Craig said she never even considered it.

“There’s nothing more peaceful than looking out and seeing open water,” she said.

Even the kids’ playroom has a view of the water, which is nice for the two constant residents, Mrs. Waffles and Flynn. The ball python snakes are expecting offspring soon and had to be separated into two climate-controlled cages because Mrs. Waffles was becoming violent as she guarded her six eggs.

The Craigs waited awhile to find the right lot for their dream house on the water. They bided their time in a simpler home with a tiny galley kitchen.

That’s one reason Kim Craig, who loves to cook, created a spacious kitchen in the new house once they found the right property on Bayshore Drive.

“I’ve created monsters,” she said, laughing at how much her kids enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals. “They are already foodies. But I love that.”

“We are the masters of pancakes and waffles on Saturday mornings,” Hutch Craig added.

Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accessory THE BEAUTY OF A NATURAL ELEMENT Nothing symbolizes the coast more than the shells that the sea lays upon the sand. Shells are a natural element to bring into any home in Tampa Bay. There are so many tempting and unique pieces, from silver starfish bookends to hurricane candles laced with oysters. Here are some thoughts from two local designers for bringing shells and a nautical look into your home but avoiding shell shock and making it look like the lobby of a favorite mom-and-pop seafood dive. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Katherine Snow Smith

DAVID FISCHER OWNER ZAZOO’D Home decor store and design services 532 Central Ave. St. Petersburg “It’s about balance. You find a piece the individual likes, whether it’s furniture or a piece of art, and play off of that. The big rule of thumb is to layer texture and color. We use shell balls because they add so much texture and color. You can frame a high-resolution photograph of a shell.

The key is to bring in one-of-a-kind pieces, like a wooden octopus carved out of wood. Or a piece of antique nautical rope; wind it and put it in an apothecary jar in the middle of the table.

Navy blue and white have been in style forever. You can have a blue and white stripe and send a coastal note without having anything else coastal in the room. We don’t see (coastal decor) ever going out of style.”

SUZAN DECKER ROSS OWNER DECKER ROSS INTERIORS 1445 Court St. Clearwater “Less is better than more. Maybe you use one or two shell accents in a room.

I designed a stair railing with a nautilus shell for a client. We’ve used shells around mirrors in a powder bath. We did a fireplace with coquina shells (embedded into the stucco) that is gorgeous.

There is a Maya Romanoff wallpaper out that has actual shells in it that is really beautiful. It could be used on an accent wall. There are some beautiful types of shells that can be centerpieces.

Shells bring the outside in, but there are other ways to bring in the coastal feel without all shells. There are some really beautiful pillows embroidered with a sea horse or an octopus. The octopus is really big right now. We have been seeing it as a tabletop accessory, bookends and in artwork.”

Suzan Decker Ross incorporated a nautilus style in this staircase she designed. “I designed the staircase as well as had the Jerusalem limestone cut in the shape of the nautilus shell in the foyer. I had an artist come in and draw the image on the floor and the stone artisans hand-laid each piece,” she explained.

CUSTOM IS THE NEW STANDARD

BY WILL McCORMICK

T

ampa Bay and the entire state of Florida have long been known as a boater’s paradise. And, as the economy continues to heat up, so does the demand for high-end luxury items. Here, experts at three longtime area boat dealerships discuss new offerings they are excited about — and just what it is that sets them apart.

THE AQUILA 44 JOSHUA LAVINE GENERAL MANAGER, MARINEMAX Over the next year, Joshua Lavine and his team will spotlight a new luxury line of Aquila power catamarans and serve as a jumping-off point for charters of the British Virgin Islands.

Aquila (which Lavine says “rhymes with tequila”) represents the broad vision of longtime MarineMax CEO Bill McGill, who wanted to build a line of power catamarans that would appeal to both the private retail, as well as the charter, market. McGill put together an impressive team of sales and marketing experts, experienced yachtsmen, award-winning designers and an up-and-coming boat builder. The result of the team’s efforts is the Aquila line of power cats. which offers multiple layouts across three different platforms. First out was the Aquila 48, the largest of the trio, built with the charter market in mind.

The Aquila 38 followed with a more compact design aimed toward the private retail sector. And finally the Aquila 44, which bridges the gap between the two markets and brings McGill’s vision into reality.

“The 44 is really the flagship of the Aquila line,” Lavine said, a line that has been lauded for its stability and spaciousness, being awarded an AIM Editor’s Choice Award for “Best Multihull in Its Class.” Adding bulbs and hull extensions to the design of the Aquila 44 improved speed and efficiency so much that the company not only permanently incorporated the changes into all future builds, they also retrofitted all existing vessels, and, in turn, were named one of the “90 Designs That Changed Boating Forever,” by Power and Motoryacht Magazine.

And, speaking of game changers, a new business model created by MarineMax specifically for the Aquila line could affect the way people buy boats. The MarineMax Charter Yachts ownership program allows qualified participants (buyers) the opportunity to enjoy up to nine weeks of vacation in the British Virgin Islands aboard their own boat. The rest of the time, MarineMax charters the boat and pays the buyer a monthly income that is guaranteed to exceed their (boat) mortgage payment. All operating costs are paid by MarineMax, and at the contract’s end, the boat is yours. marinemax.com

THE MONTEREY 360SC SETH BROWN SALES ASSOCIATE, THUNDER MARINE Seth Brown has a new way to buy a boat, as well: Build your own. Brown sells a variety of new and used boats through Thunder Marine and sister company, International Marine Group of Tampa Bay (IMG), and is keen on the sport yachts.

“I really like what Monterey Boats has done lately,” he said.

Monterey is one of the faster-growing brands in the sport powerboat market, and there’s a good chance that its “Build Your Own Monterey” program may have a lot to do with that popularity. Billed as a boat with “charismatic ele-

gance and stylish sophistication,” the Monterey line is a straightforward-style vessel — built for speed, but luxurious speed. Beautifully appointed above and below deck, the 360SC Coupe is Monterey’s pride and joy.

At roughly 39 feet long and 12 feet wide, the 360 is deceivingly spacious inside. The design is clean and practical and classically styled. And all the bells and whistles are available, if you choose.

While Thunder Marine stocks the 360SC in basic and not-so-basic options, the ability to “Build Your Own” has proved popular among millennials and others who like to “have it their way.”

Select your hull color, choose your engine(s), pick out some drapes and then line up the amenities any which way you choose. The possible combinations are many.

Then, pick your preferred method of payment and Monterey will build it to spec, wrap it up, put your name on it and ship it to your local dealer.

The factory can build it to your specifications, or you can have Thunder Marine’s certified technicians install the add-ons that you want, all under warranty.

According to Brown, “That’s the wave of the future.”

People like their boats to be an extension of their personality, so “custom is the new standard.” thundermarine.com

Not only is custom the new standard, says Alex Kramer, but now there are luxury options on vessels that, in the past, were available only on “super yachts — boats with eightand nine-figure price tags.”

Case in point is the 75-foot Prestige 750 Flybridge from Galati, which Kramer calls “a true four-stateroom luxury yacht. This boat has it all.”

For example, the Prestige 750 comes equipped with a Seakeeper 9 Gyroscopic Stabilizer, a huge spinning ball that uses centrifugal force to center and stabilize the vessel, reducing listing and sway with amazing results, even in heavy seas. This literal mounted gyroscope, and the technology that makes it work, have been available for years on more expensive vessels.

The Seakeeper 9 will still add about $100,000 to the sticker price of a new yacht, but advances in technology and production, coupled with consumer demand, is what has driven the price down, Kramer said, and made this sort of item available to a broader market.

The Prestige 750 offers luxury options once available only on “super yachts” carrying much higher price tags.

“The price will continue to come down, I’m sure,” he said, “much like we’ve seen with the joystick steering controls over the past few years.” Definitely the hottest thing in the luxury powerboat market and beyond, the joystick controller has become the must-have item in the recent past. Used for many years in the oceanliner and barge industries, joystick steering puts all of the necessary operations to move your vessel into a relatively simple controller, similar to the ones on electric wheelchairs or even video games. You won’t find one of these controllers on the Prestige 750, however — you’ll find three, one at each helm station and an extra remote so you can steer and drive from just about anywhere on board.

The Prestige 750 also has classic amenities: teak and wenge woods are the standard; LED lighting; spacious and comfortable cabins; Miele appliances; Bose sound systems; and seven flatscreen TVs. Yet the luxury yacht remains somehow subtle in its opulence. Perfectly appointed, clean lines and uncluttered design give way to classic, timeless nautical styling. galatiyachts.com The Prestige 750 has classic amenities, from teak and wenge woods to spacious and comfortable staterooms.

A

place in the sun

BY KATHERINE SNOW SMITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY JIM DAMASKE

n a spit of land between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway at the northern tip of Clearwater Beach, long past the congested traffic circle and Hooters, sits an echo of Old Florida and simpler days in the sun.

There, the 82-year-old Carlouel Yacht Club offers its members a relaxing place to swim, dine and play.

The original stone fireplaces stand at either end of the dining room. There’s one in the lobby as well. The same cypress beams still support the high, peaked ceilings.

The 3,000-square-foot club is by no means outdated, though. It has a junior Olympic-size pool along with a slightly smaller one, a year-round swim team, tennis courts, paddle boards, kayaks and a new focus on teaching its youngest members about the environment.

Renovations to men’s and women’s locker rooms are almost complete. They will have all the amenities of a highend spa, including flat-screen TVs. But there won’t be a grand marble staircase, sleek glass elevator or anything else ornate. None of that would go with Carlouel’s wooden clapboard frame or its 1950s-style canopy over the unimposing main entrance.

As we go through the renovation, the membership is passionate about retaining the look and feel of old Florida.”

LEE MACKAY, Carlouel Yacht Club general manager

Carlouel started in 1934 as a simple cabana club for changing and dining on the beach. Later it was sold to the 100 original members for $1,000 each.

Today it offers many modern amenities, including a competitive pool and fabulous ballroom, yet retains some of its “old Florida” charm mixed with a country club feel.

“As we go through the renovation, the membership is passionate about retaining the look and feel of old Florida,” said the club’s general manager, Lee Mackay. After the native of England came to Carlouel about five years ago, he slowly made a few changes, but not many.

There’s still a dress code, though it has been relaxed from requiring a jacket and tie in the dining room to a collared shirt for men and “resort casual” for women. (Shorts should be no more than 3 inches above the knee.)

The 1934 Salad with olives, ham and salami, named for the year Carlouel opened, is still on the lunch menu.

So is the fruit plate, a favorite for decades, with a scoop of poached chicken salad, albacore tuna salad or cottage cheese, and cheddar toasts. The stuffed tomato, however, has been quietly removed.

Perhaps the most unique and historic features are the 12 wooden cabanas that run in a line on the club’s south side.

Each one has shutters with vintage wooden cutouts of sailboats.

The cabanas have one or two small rooms and a shower, bathroom and kitchenette. A few lucky members can lease them by the year. Spending the night isn’t permitted, but guests can escape the sun and heat in privacy throughout the day. There are 70 names on the waiting list.

Carlouel has 450 memberships representing about 1,000 to 1,500 individuals, according to Mackay. It is accepting new members by invitation of existing ones. When Carlouel started, it was little more than a few cabanas on the beach.

The club’s three founders named it after each of their wives, Caroline, Louise and Eleanor. Several years later, the club was sold to the 100 original members for $1,000 each.

Not much changed for 20 years until a fire destroyed part of the club’s original structure in 1961, but left the roof and walls standing. Shortly after it was rebuilt, the tennis courts and pool were added, then came the short-course Olympic pool.

Because Carlouel is tucked behind a small, quiet neighborhood, a big marina with fuel service wouldn’t be conducive to the environment. Still, the club has finger piers and a floating dock that can handle about 10 boats, some up to 70 feet long.

It also boasts a sailing coach, tennis professional and a recreation room for youth.

Carlouel recently started a program with Tampa Bay Watch, and the club established a sea grass nursery. Members, especially youth, transplant the grass to nearby areas the environmental organization deems needy.

“We want this club to be here for a long, long time,” Mackay said. “It’s important that its youngest members learn how special the surroundings are.”

THE EYES OF GWEN

BY KATHERINE SNOW SMITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY BOYZELL HOSEY

G

wendolyn Reese came to a distressing realization about five years ago when she was at a festival honoring author Zora Neale Hurston in Eatonville.

“I love art. And I was looking at such great art, and I realized I had no more walls to put art on,” said the community leader who most recently spearheaded the creation of St. Petersburg’s African American Heritage Trail. “And then a woman, an artist, said to me ‘You should start wearing your art.’ ” Soon after, Reese had her own prescription put into a pair of vintage cat eye reading glasses she had on display at home. Now she has more pairs than she wants to say in print. “I express myself through my glasses,” she said.

“I’m expressing my uniqueness. I embrace that I am very independent. I set my own style.”

The yellow Pradas with the jewels are unique. “One of the reasons I fell in love with them is I graduated from Gibbs High, and our colors are blue and yellow,” she said.

They came from the Lion’s Paw antique store at 2541 Central Ave. in St. Petersburg. The owners keep Reese in mind when they are at shows and estate sales. When they see something they think nobody else would try to carry off, they think of Reese. ArtPool, at 2030 Central Ave. in St. Petersburg, is another source.

Reese, 67, usually buys vintage and out-of-stock finds.

Some are by designers such as Alexander McQueen, Laura Biagiotti and Versace, while others are no particular brand at all. Her favorite pair is that very first pair she had converted to her prescription because they belonged to mentor and celebrated teacher Mary Oneal Brown.

“I remember her wearing these and what pizzazz she had,” Reese said.

Reese herself has been an important influence on many youth in St. Petersburg. Early in her career she was a counselor for Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting services for the YWCA. On separate occasions, she recently ran into two women she worked with there. One had gone on to become a lawyer. The other woman’s son, who was an infant the last time Reese saw him, was enrolled in law school himself.

Reese also worked as a coordinator for both Healthy Start of Pinellas and the Midtown Health Council. Now she is president of the African American Heritage Association, and sits on numerous boards and committees, including the city’s Community Planning and Preservation Commission. Her glasses have become her trademark.

“Some days if I’m not feeling at the top of my game, I pick a pair that will project me at the top of my game,” she said, “and pretty soon I am.”

Is she farsighted or nearsighted? “Oh, I’m everything.

I wear bifocals,” she laughed. “My mother told me you go to bed at 39 with 20/20 vision and you wake up at 40 needing glasses.”

I express myself through my glasses. I’m expressing my uniqueness.

I embrace that I am very independent. I set my own style.”

RAYS ON THE RUNWAY Since its inception 10 years ago, Rays on the Runway has raised close to $600,000 to help the Children’s Dream Fund make dreams come true for seriously ill children. This summer’s event brought in $125,000 to provide special experiences for kids and their families. Players and dream recipients styled in fashions from Dillard’s and were high-energy on the runway at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront. The average dream costs $3,500; the memories are priceless. There are currently 65 kids on the waiting list for dreams.

Eat your heart out, Project Runway. The creative couture on the runway at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center’s annual Wearable Art fashion show and fundraiser would stand up to any reality TV. Area artists and designers created collections with meticulous craftsmanship that wowed the crowd of 900-plus supporters. “This is the most exciting event in Pinellas County,” said Kathy Milam, who may be slightly biased since she’s a Dunedin Fine Arts Center board member. “This arts center is a teaching force. We are here for the whole community, no matter what your age or your interest.”

HOLIDAY MAGIC

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even Halloween yet, but you know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around the corner.

Preparing for the holidays can be scarier than the worst goblin or ghoul.

This year, plan to do less and savor more. The November issue of Bay will help with plenty of ideas for what to wear, what to give, what to pass at parties and ways to channel your inner child.
