Dear Wellendorff family,Paignton, April 29, 2011
Many years ago, while I was vacationing on the west coast of Denmark, I found an amulet with a hand-painted angel on it. A name and year had been engraved on the back. Since no one claimed the amulet, it became mine, and a talisman that I wore every day.
Several years later I met an Englishman in Munich. He scrutinized my pendant and told me that his late wife used to have an angel just like mine. When we parted he gave me his business card, and my heart almost stood still ... not only did he live in Denmark, his name was the same as the one engraved on the back of the amulet. Yes, it was the sameangel that he had given to his wife on their wedding day.Without hesitation I returned the angel to its proper owner. The situa-tion was upsetting for both of us. I no longer had the guardian angel I had become so fond of and he was reliving sad memories.
A few weeks later he announced he was coming to Munich over Christ-mas. He brought me the amulet back and proposed to me! Despite the objections of my parents and my son, who was then 20, I married the man who was still almost a stranger, in a very quiet ceremony in Den-mark.
In our case the amulet was a cupid that has kept us together for 29 happyyears.
Sincerely yours

PHIL PRIMACK is a Boston-area writer and editor whose work has appeared in such publications as the New York Times and the Boston Globe. After witnessing the amazing migration of monarch butterfl ies to Mexico (“The Butterfl y Eff ect,” page 72), he now feels very guilty about his boyhood hobby of collecting butterfl ies to preserve under glass.
@HEMISPHERESMAGOUR JANUARY FEATURE on Forrest Fenn, the former art dealer who hid a $3 million treasure near Santa Fe and then dropped some clues in his memoir, drew a lot of comments. Among them was this, from Irene Rawlings of Denver: “It makes me want to buy a pickax, rent a mule and go out on a treasure hunt. Such a happy and optimistic way to start the new year!” Barbara Rogers of New Hampshire concurred: “What a beautiful story! It captures the sense that the real treasure is not the contents of the chest, but how it has fi red people’s imaginations.” Meanwhile, John Penuel of France enjoyed our piece on a Nobelist’s wife hobnobbing at Boston’s Symphony Hall. “I read this piece on a fl ight yesterday. It made me laugh out loud,” he wrote. “I actually took the magazine with me. First time I’ve ever done that.”

OLIVIA GUNNING BENNANI is a journalist who left London for Morocco more than a decade ago, intending to stay six months—she’s been there ever since. Her fascination with all things North African has led her from desert sands to mountain peaks and, for this issue, into the purple fi elds of one of Morocco’s most precious commodities (“Crocus Act,” page 20).
JOE MORSE is a Toronto illustrator whose client list ranges from Esquire and GQ to Nike and Target. He says he was thrilled to add Matt Damon (The Hemi Q&A, page 68) to his gallery of portraits, because “my best paintings happen when the subject is doing something meaningful, and Damon’s advocacy for safe water is critical for the world’s poor.”

W elcome aboard, and thanks for choosing United for your fl ight today.
We invest a lot in our business and in our customers. We have both external cus-tomers (you) and internal customers (our co-workers). It’s important that we invest in both. If we take care of our co-workers, they will take care of you.
So we are making a number of invest-ments in our co-workers, including new customer service training for 100 percent of our fl ight a� endants and agents world-wide—over 44,000 people. When we fi nish the training this year, everyone will be on the same page about what great service means and what we expect our co-workers to deliver for you. We are also upgrading the passenger service system interface at our gates, in our lobbies and at our contact centers, to give our co-workers fast, easy-to-use tools to do their jobs.
In January, we opened a new co-worker
health clinic at O’Hare. It’s the fifth co-worker health clinic at United, and any co-worker can use our clinics completely free of charge. All our clinics, operated by Walgreens Well Network, off er conve-nient on-site health services to keep our co-workers feeling and performing well.
We recently opened the first set of newly refurbished co-worker break rooms at our Washington-Dulles hub, featuring a comfortable new design, and new furni-ture and appliances for our co-workers to use during their breaks. Break rooms are things you will likely never see, but they are very important to our co-workers, who use them to relax, eat a meal, read their e-mail, catch up on the news and socialize with their fellow co-workers. In 2013 we will renovate break rooms at our Chicago and San Francisco hubs as well, and at some of our stations that are undergoing terminal moves. We will also complete at least one break room at each of our other
hubs to give our co-workers a chance to see the new design and features coming their way. This is all part of a multiyear project to renovate the 500 or so break rooms we have around the globe.
The investments we’re making in our co-workers show we value our co-workers, want them to have the tools they need to do their job, and want them to be proud to come to work at United every day. That will result in be� er customer service for you.
Thanks again for fl ying with us today. We appreciate your business and hope to see you onboard again soon.

A ll travelers have heard the familiar phrase “Sit back, relax and enjoy the fl ight,” spoken just a� er their
fl ight takes to the air. But for flight a� en-dant Jane Douce� e, it isn’t a cliché—it’s a personal reminder of a great responsibil-ity, and a call to action. She comes to work every day with a positive a� itude and a determination to make sure that every customer whose comfort and safety have been entrusted to her and her fellow crew members really does “enjoy the fl ight.”
Doucette’s positive attitude recently paid off—literally—when she walked away with $50,000 for being named the fi rst grand prize winner in United’s Out-perform Recognition Program. Through the Outperform program, MileagePlus members may nominate an employee for excellent service on their flight, on the phone, at the airport or at any point in their experience with United.
Doucette grew up in the Philip-pines in what she describes as a “very
hospitality-driven” culture. “My parents owned a restaurant, and for years I grew up watching my mother as she interacted with customers and made them feel at home,” she recalls. “That instilled in me the love of being around people and a desire to make sure everyone feels welcome and has a good time.”
Naturally, due to her love of people and welcoming nature, Doucette was encouraged to pursue a career as a fl ight a� endant. But she wasn’t sure if the life-style—with its frequent travel and time away from home—was for her. “Friends used to say that being a fl ight a� endant would suit me, but I didn’t know if I could get used to all the travel,” she says. “I moved to the U.S. to go to college and pursued various careers, but something seemed to be missing. One day I thought, ‘OK, maybe I should give this fl ight a� endant thing a try.’ And I’ve never looked back.”
The airline industry o� en a� racts peo-ple who like the idea of having breakfast
on one side of the Atlantic and dinner on the other, but travel isn’t Douce� e’s high-est priority. “I enjoy making people happy,” she says. “And I get the opportunity to do that all day long. I couldn’t ask for a more fulfi lling or fun way to spend my time. If you start the day with the right a� itude, it’s tough to have a bad day.”
Doucette has spent 18 years in this customer-facing job—a length of time in which one would assume any fl ight a� en-dant, no ma� er how friendly, would have come across a bad fl ight or two.
“I get that question a lot, since I have nothing but great things to say about my job and my customers,” Douce� e says. “In an ideal world, I would deny ever having a bad fl ight, but that’s a li� le unrealistic a� er so many years of fl ying. Sure, I’ve run into the occasional traveler who is impos-sible to please, but that’s pre� y rare.
“Most of the time, even if I can’t solve their issue, people appreciate that I care and I tried my best to help.”
A Winning A� itude Delivering excellent customer service is a way of life for fl ight a� endant Jane Douce� e

ASK THE PILOTWith Captain Mike Bowers
Q: On occasion I have been on airplanes that, after pushing back from the gate at my home air-port of Newark, moved ahead of others already waiting in line to take off . What circumstances would cause a plane to jump the line?
A: Normally, takeoff order is as simple as fi rst come, fi rst served. But at busier airports like Newark (EWR), where air traffi c controllers blend departures with those from LaGuardia and JFK, there may be “openings” on some departure routes and delays on others. To manage that, EWR controllers may instruct an aircraft to bypass the one that’s fi rst in line to take off . In addition, air traffi c controllers may “meter” aircraft at certain times to reduce the waiting that might result from weather or traffi c delays. Although it might seem confusing at times, it is well orches-trated and done to get as many departures off a given runway at any one time, safely.
Do you have a question for Captain Bowers? You can write to him at askthepilot@united.com.
IF YOU ARE SITTING on an aircra� off ering United Economy Plus, you (or the person si� ing next to you) may be part of the rea-son that extra-legroom seating even exists. Customer feedback from post-travel surveys showed that those in Economy Plus were more satisfi ed with their fl ights.
“Our frequent fl yers are very passionate about fl ying, and they typically have a lot to say about it,” says Customer Insights Senior Manager Ma� Hadfi eld, who spends a good part of his day poring over the surveys.
Shortly after a MileagePlus member travels on a direct fl ight, United sends him or her an email invitation to off er feedback. More than 8,000 customers each day rank their experience with the airline on a scale
of 1 to 10. In a text box that allows for open commenting, customers provide a wide range of feedback. United uses sophisticated text-recognition so� ware to read that feed-back—and act on it.
Such commentary infl uences every part of the customer experience, as United uses travelers’ feedback to continue to tweak its service. Hence the installation of more premium-cabin fl at-bed seats than any other U.S. carrier, and the addition of satellite Wi-Fi on some 300 airplanes this year.
And feedback has also played a role in the airline’s off ering of two other customer favorites: tapas snack boxes and the Thai-style chicken wrap. If you like them, surveys show that you’re not alone.

CALL SIGNSThis month in 1876, at his lab in Boston, Alexander Graham Bell made the world’s fi rst telephone call,
to assistant Thomas Watson. In the decades that followed, the U.S. has seen the rise and fall of pay phones,
the laying and abandonment of landlines, and most recently the marked and perhaps terminal decline
of the phone call itself. (Not to worry: We’ll have perfected telepathy in the next century anyhow.)

“THERE’S A LOT of give on that brown,” says Rob Jennings. “You’ll want to aim at the area around the broomstick.” The terminology might sound a little odd, but then the Al Ghazal Golf Club is an odd place.
One of the world’s few sand golf courses, this Abu Dhabi institution has its origins in the early 1960s, during the onset of the United Arab Emirates oil boom. In recent years, Al Ghazal has been overshadowed by the plush grass courses that have sprung up around the country, and there are rumors that it will close this year to make way for a new property development.
There was little danger of falling victim to urban sprawl 50 years ago, when a handful of expat golfi ng
ABU DHABI
BUNKER MENTALITYThe joys of playing golf in a course-size sand trap
BY RICHARD WHITEHEAD
enthusiasts fi rst carved 18 holes out of the desert sand here. “The place was empty,” says club manager Angela Scurr. “It was the people who put it all together. They were the pioneers.”
In the early days, club members would bring their own strips of Astroturf to use as portable fairways. Over time, though, these were abandoned as the golfers—like the desert lark and the sand boa before them—adapted to the conditions. In place of greens, for instance, they created “browns”: sand mixed with oil and tamped down. After every putt, players must walk off single fi le, the last man dragging a broom behind him to smooth the surface.
Al Ghazal also has a host of unusual hazards, many of which are unique to the course. Among these are dhub burrows, named for the large, spiny-tailed desert lizards that call them home; if your ball trickles down one of the burrows, it’s best to take a drop. Then there’s the fact that the front nine holes surround an archaeological site, which contains scattered pottery shards and stone tools alongside stray golf balls.
Asked whether Al Ghazal itself will soon become a historical footnote, Scurr says absolutely not—though she allows that certain people have “plans” for the land it occupies. For Jennings, a Jamaican national who’s been a member of the club for eight years and who is considered by some to be its best player, the only concern right now is the tricky putt facing him on the fi nal hole.

In the lead-up to this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards show, the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium is a mob scene of famous folks decked out in designer fi nery. One attendee in particular stands out, possibly because she’s the only one whose ensemble is spattered with sauce.
Suzanne Goin, a James Beard Award–winning chef and co-owner of L.A. celeb-magnet Lucques, is on her fourth stint as caterer for the SAG Awards—and she knows how to work a red carpet. “I always
make the food look good for a big, wide-angle shot,” she says, holding a platter and moving through the surging crowd with remarkable ease.
Goin and her crew have already had a busy day. They spent the morning preparing 1,200 plates of beef, beets and slow-roasted salmon in a Beverly Hills kitchen, then trucked it all over to an enclosure in the Shrine parking lot for plating. Now the food is being delivered to the tables before guests are seated, to be eaten during the show.
“We make a huge eff ort to keep the whole
thing from looking sloppy,” Goin says. “You want
three things on that one plate, barely touching, to make it not
look like a kid’s meal.”Equally important: No scraps
of food must sully a celebrity’s Valentino or, worse, get wedged between an award recipient’s teeth. “We did a lot of no-parsley,” Goin says of this year’s menu. “We did a beef tenderloin, thinly sliced, so it
can be eaten with just a fork.”For all the pressure she faces
during these events, Goin fi nds that they do have a signifi cant upside. “Sometimes,” she says, “we get to eat what we serve.” —MICHAEL KAPLAN
MILAN • A young man is standing between a bull’s hind legs—or, specifi cally, the legs of a bull mosaic on the fl oor of the Galle-ria Vi� orio Emanuele II, a chic shopping arcade in this Italian city. “It’s tradition that if you spin around three times you will have good luck,” explains his female companion. The man’s spinning, though,
keeps ge� ing interrupted by the crowd making its way into a nearby café, which has ornate moldings, arched windows and a golden “M.”
Milan’s McDonald’s might be the world’s most stylish fast-food joint—which still isn’t stylish enough for this city, apparently. The eatery is bowing out
to make way for a Prada store, and the people jostling to get inside are here for the closing-down burgers being handed out. The guy standing on the mosaic, hampered by the crowd, does not get to complete his good-luck twirl. He also fails to get a free Big Mac. The myth of the bull, it appears, is true. —JAMES WILLIAMS

STRANGE REQUESTSAn electro-pop band puts on an unorthodox show for hotel guests
Jason Huber and Jordan Kelley have
developed a habit of singing in unlikely
places. The Nashville-
based electro-pop duo
known as Cherub has
performed on a Ferris
wheel, in hot tubs
and at a hair salon
in Guadalajara.
Accordingly, the
musicians seem
at ease with
their latest gig: a
two-day residency
at the W in
Times Square, during which they’ll be
the hotel’s Human Jukebox.
Wearing neon-laced high-tops and
draped with gold chains, Huber and
Kelley take requests via Twi� er—guests
tweet their location in the hotel and the
song they want played—then show up
and start warbling. Tunes performed
include covers of songs by
Frankie Valli, Cyndi Lauper and
Outkast, as well as Cherub
originals. When asked
what they do when not
performing weird gigs, the
24-year-old Huber responds,
“Whiskey, champagne and
shenanigans.” Kelley, 25,
solemnly agrees.
Over the course of an
evening, there’s hardly
a single spot in the
hotel that the Human Jukebox isn’t
summoned to. There are performances
in the fi tness center and the lobby, and
even atop a luggage cart that ends up
being rolled out the front door and
through Times Square. The two musi-
cians remain unfazed—although Huber
admits that he fi nds being asked to
perform in the elevator “a li� le creepy.”
The following morning, the Human
Jukebox transforms into the Human
Alarm Clock, ready to deploy to guests’
rooms to belt out wake-up songs in
bathrobes, slippers and argyle socks.
Just before the fi rst call of the day, the
duo admit they didn’t get much sleep
the night before. “Dear Body,” Kelley
sings, closing his eyes and trembling
with feigned emotion. “Sorry for last
night. I know what I did just wasn’t
right.” —JAMES STURZ

THE BIG BONK FROM A DINGED CHEVY TO UNLUCKY REINDEER, A LOOK AT THE IMPACT OF SPACE ROCKS
At the time of this writing, an asteroid 150 feet across was hurtling toward our planet, E.T.A. Feb. 15. Hopefully, it didn’t hit us. But there have been many instances of space objects that did collide with Earth, most notably the asteroid blamed for wiping out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, as well as
the 1972 meteorite that had a similar eff ect on a Venezuelan cow. And while we may have the deepest sympathy for the Milanese monk reputedly dispatched by a space rock in 1650, we can also take comfort in the fact that human casualties have been exceedingly rare. —CHRIS WRIGHT

Khadouj, who believes she is at least 70 years old, can still touch her toes. Right now she’s bent double, elbow-deep in a spray of purple crocuses. Showing half a mouthful of teeth in a sun-scorched, plumpish face with impressive furrows, Khadouj is smiling. She’s happy because the annual saff ron harvest has begun, providing much-needed employ-ment for residents of Tnine de l’Ourika, a crumbling Berber village in one of the valleys of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.
During the three-week harvest, dozens of women from the com-munity will reap 800,000 crocuses,
extracting about 6 kilograms of the precious strands of saff ron, a spice that can fetch up to $12 per gram. Khadouj and her work-mates each earn about $4 per day.
Picking begins at daybreak, when the petals are still closed; inside are the fi lament-like structures called stigmas that, when dried, are known as saff ron. “By 9 a.m. it’s over,” explains farm manager Moham-med Mador, as he ambles through gardens bursting with aromatic plants beneath olive and citrus trees. “Once the fl ower opens, the stigmas will be damaged by the sun.”
The heaps of fl owers are then taken aside
and, one by one, the stigmas are extracted, a task seen as women’s
work—ostensibly because their hands are daintier.
“It takes 40 women to harvest one hectare of fl owers and extract the three fi laments from each fl ower,” Mador says.
Back in the crocus patch, Khadouj is upright, holding her back; when asked if it aches, she shrugs. Her rugged hands refl ect a lifetime of dough-kneading and clothes-scrubbing. Soon Khadouj is bent over again, as she and the others get on with the job in a gust of chatter and song. —OLIVIA GUNNING BENNANI

ROAD TRIP
CHASING THE BLUES
It’s 8 in the morning on a Friday in New Orleans, and I’m in a bind. In my hand is a sloppy breakfast po’boy quickly greasing up a paper bag. At the curb is a brand-new platinum-colored 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport with eminently stainable
light-gray leather upholstery. These two things do not go together. So, before hit-ting the road, I hunt down a newspaper and spread it all over the passenger seat, then across my own lap. Po’boys can be highly unpredictable.
Taking a devilish Lexus GS 350 into the heart of the Delta

Being awake this early in the Crescent City is an objectionable state of aff airs, but I’ve got a long drive ahead of me, six hours north to Clarksdale, Miss., the town with the crossroads where blues legend Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for being able to play guitar like a man possessed.
I wouldn’t quite call it a hellhound, but there is something faintly devilish about the look of my car for the weekend, particularly around the front end—no surprise the styling was inspired by Lexus’ LFA supercar. A sleekly designed four-door sedan, the GS 350 F Sport is roomy enough for a family and aggres-sive enough to tear up miles of blacktop. Taking advantage of its link-in with the music streaming service Pandora, I play Delta blues all the way to Mississippi.
Three hours into my trip, I notice a sign for Vicksburg. Something about it rings a bell. I pull over and use the car’s Enform computer system to do a Bing search. Sure enough, the town has been name-checked in songs by Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and Lucinda Williams. Vicksburg it is.
I cruise through the pleasant town, with its Civil War battlefield and rows of beautiful old antebellum homes, and happen upon a seafood and chop house called Rusty’s Riverfront Grill. It’s friendly
and unpretentious, with home-baked pies cooling up front. I order a gargantuan fried shrimp sandwich that I swear to the waitress I won’t be able to fi nish, but do so anyway. “Good luck,” she says, as I waddle out a� erward.
In no time I’m again motoring up High-way 61, a road lined with verdant fields punctuated with beaten-down shacks and heaps of disused farm equipment.
Grain silos slide in and out of view. Zip-ping past a picturesque li� le post offi ce with a single mailbox in front, I suddenly remember a postcard that needs to be sent. Oversize brakes and the Lexus Dynamic Handling System, which calculates opti-mal wheel angles, help me execute a fl ashy 180-degree turn that would have done Jason Bourne proud.
When I reach the turnoff for Indianola, a town that teemed with blues perform-ers back in the early 1900s, I take it and follow the car’s GPS guidance to the B.B. King Museum. There, I take in multi-media presentations on what life was like on the Chitlin’ Circuit, check out a re-creation of King’s recording studio, and peruse the blues maestro’s guitars and stage costumes. It’s a fi � ing tribute to a man born into a co� on-picking family who rose to unimaginable heights.
As daylight wanes, I steer the Lexus into the parking lot of Clarksdale’s Shack Up Inn, an intentionally rustic, blues-themed hotel where you can overnight in an origi-nal sharecropper’s shack or a repurposed co� on gin. My room is cozy and comfort-able, but I’ve got places to be.
I drop off my bag and get back into the car, flipping on the near-infrared

“night view” lights to illuminate a bit of pitch-black road. I make the short drive to Ground Zero, a blues club bankrolled by Morgan Freeman. Inside, a righteous-sounding blues combo rips it up onstage. They’re good and the vibe is fi ne; frankly, though, I’m looking for something a bit more down-home.
I ask around, and eventually wind up at a joint called Red’s Lounge. It’s stripped down, cramped and hot. Folks sit on metal folding chairs, and a hat gets passed around for donations. Onstage, bathed in red and yellow light, is Robert “Bilbo” Walker. With a de� touch on his ba� ered guitar’s fretboard, he growls his way through standards like “Lucille” and
originals that center on the usual blues themes of love, murder and redemption. There’s barely a moment’s pause between numbers and Walker isn’t one for stage patter, but the people are deep into it nonetheless. The night goes on like this for some time.
Late the next morning, bleary-eyed and back on the road, I’m looking for the spot where Johnson reputedly made his fateful pact. Though I worried it might be hard to fi nd, apparently soul-selling isn’t the discreet business one might expect: Three giant guitars above a couple of small trees mark the site of the original crossroads. I park in the lot of Abe’s Bar-B-Q and walk to the landmark, waiting for something to overtake me, for a deal to be proff ered—but my soul remains intact. So I do what anyone in my position would do. I retreat to Abe’s for a plate of devilishly good ribs.

MAMILLA HOTELBACKSTORY: Opened in 2009,
this fi ve-star hotel
is at the heart of an
ambitious (if overdue)
scheme to redevelop
Mamilla, a 19th-century
neighborhood near
Jerusalem’s Old City
that was heavily dam-
aged during years of
Arab-Israeli fi ghting.
DESIGN NOTES: The challenge in a
city like Jerusalem is to
embrace history without
ge� ing bogged down in
it. The Mamilla expertly
manages this by marry-
ing the traditional (walls
of Jerusalem stone) with
modern design elements
(sleek black staircases,
glass-and-steel ceilings).
WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST
OUTSIDE: The trendy
shopping area Mamilla
Avenue is seconds away.
Walk a bit farther and
you’ll reach the Jaff a
Gate and the Old City,
home to the Dome of the
Rock, the Western Wall
and a maze of ancient
alleys and bazaars.
IDEAL GUEST: The Mamilla is
unquestionably a stylish
place—you won’t fi nd
any fanny-pack types
milling about the lobby.
Even the most well-
dressed guests, however,
can’t resist nerding out
on the amazing history
that’s practically on the
hotel’s doorstep.
BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT:
It’d be tough to get a
be� er view of Jerusalem
than the one from the
Mamilla’s roof. Part of
the space is a sundeck;
the rest is a restaurant
and bar whose vistas are
especially impressive at
night, when the walls of
the Old City are lit up.

HERMITAGE BAYANTIGUA
BACKSTORY: A candidate for New Hamp-shire’s state symbol ever since the Old Man of the Mountain collapsed in 2003, this Spanish Renaissance hotel in the White Mountains has itself fl irted with ruin in its 111-year history. It was famously rescued from fi nancial downfall in 1944, when it was given the high-profi le honor of hosting the confer-ence that created the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
DESIGN NOTES: Resembling a cross between the White House and a hunting lodge, the vaguely Federal-style lobby is generously accented with yawning fi replaces and cozy alpine motifs.
AMAZING AMENITY: The 25,000-square-foot full-service spa allows guests to select herbs from the grounds for “farm-to-facial” treatments; the Mountain Mist product line used here is derived from candytu� , ne� le and other local fl ora.
HOT PLATE: While chops of all kinds are a claim to fame for steakhouse Stickneys, the nearby Omni Bre� on Arms Inn off ers a rib-eye to climb mountains for.
SIGNATURE COCKTAIL: The Cave, set in a former Prohibition-era speakeasy, mixes a high-octane Prohibition Punch, served in a dainty teacup and limited to one per customer.

DISPATCHES || STAY
WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: The resort is surrounded by hundreds of acres of verdant, undeveloped land, ensuring unmarred natural beauty everywhere you look.
IDEAL GUEST: Those seeking privacy with their luxury will appreciate the fact that there are only 25 stand-alone suites and co� ages here. Guests who enjoy the hospitality of an unpretentious, familial-seeming staff will be even more delighted.
ROOM WITH A VIEW: Tucked into a hillside and boasting a private plunge pool, the spacious and well-appointed bungalow Suite 31 looks out on both bay and lagoon, giving you an unbeatable vantage from which to watch yachts sail into the marina at sunset.
HOT PLATE: The menu changes daily according to what’s most abundant in the on-site organic garden and what helps achieve the resort’s goal of zero food miles. This means that while you were daydreaming in your hillside villa, the cockles in tonight’s soup were being fi shed out of the lagoon below.
UNEXPECTED TREAT: Mojitos and cool, almond-scented towels are proff ered upon check-in, making quick work of any jet lag.

FOOD & DRINK
DRIVE DOWN THE BYWAYS of the Napa and Sonoma valleys at the right time of year, and you’ll pass vines heavy with glis-tening grapes just waiting to be turned into the big, tannic, high-alcohol wines—generally cabernets and zinfandels—that have made the region famous. These days, though, you’re also liable to spot a few vines that have been stripped of fruit early. These point up a new movement afoot in Northern California—a burgeoning faction of vintners interested in making more balanced vintages (read: less jammy, sun-ripened and strong).
One such producer is Jamie Kutch, a former Wall Street trader who launched Kutch Wines. Though now he’s a
purveyor of lighter, more finicky pinot noirs, Kutch’s early off erings were big and rich in the classic California style. There was only one problem, he says: “I didn’t like them.”
So when producing his 2007 releases, Kutch experimented by picking an acre of his grapes earlier. He also watered less, to push the grapes to develop flavor quickly without becoming too sugary. Satisfied with the results from his first acre, he picked everything earlier the next year and has been proceeding in that manner ever since.

GETTING FIZZY WITH ITSpicing up wine spritzers for classic-cocktail fans
Wine spritzers suff er from an image problem: Though delicious, they’re associated with a bit of a boring “day wedding” demographic. In other words, you’d never expect to see a rock star downing a wine spritzer onstage. In Napa Valley, though, where wine is para-mount, mixologist Vincent Lee of Yountville’s Lucy Restaurant & Bar thought to update the staple with grapefruit juice and a dash of sage liqueur, pushing the humble spritzer into spunky New York Sour territory.
YOUNTVILLE SPRITZ
Kutch and other advocates of balance have also been pushing back against what they argue is the overly intense oak fl avor that o� en turns up in California vintages. To reduce it, Kutch ages 30 percent of his early-picked grapes in new oak and the rest in barrels that are three to fi ve years old. He also ages the wines with grape stems to further so� en their taste profi les.
Asked to describe what he likes about his new, lighter, less oaky vintages, Kutch says they’re cleaner and more precise. They’re probably also easier to sell. Well-structured wines like these have been experiencing a renaissance among restaurateurs and wine buyers, who fi nd that they pair well with a vast array of foods rather than just the tra-ditional charbroiled slab of rib-eye. “I think of short ribs when I make my pinot noir,” says Kathleen Inman, whose Inman Family Wines shares Kutch’s philosophy. “But with the chardonnay, just for kicks I paired it with truffl e-bu� er popcorn—and that worked.”
“For me, wine enhances food. I’m not one for si� ing on the porch and sipping it,” says Chris Howell, who chose to plant the vines for Cain Vineyard and Winery on a mountaintop estate above Napa Valley to encourage more balance in his wines. “Good wine is not about power or complexity—it’s linked to the wine’s fi nish and character. The wines that seduce you are the ones that stick with you.”

GROWTH INDUSTRY
Winemakers diversify their portfolios—by planting vegetables
Napa Valley just 40 years ago was a vastly diff erent landscape from today. Acres of orchards, fi elds of produce and thousands of oak trees once competed for space with vineyards. However, following the region’s rise to fame on the heels of 1976’s Judgment of Paris—when some Napa wines bested their French counterparts in a
tasting—much of this diversity was wiped out in order to produce as many award-winning
wines as possible.But in the past 10 years, the tide has
begun to turn. Progressive winemakers have started diversify-ing their crops.
After having soil trouble, John
Williams, owner of Frog’s Leap, a winery in the Rutherford district, stopped using chemicals and irrigation, planted
acres of fruit and vegetables adjacent to the vines, and allowed cover crops to
THE BEST OF THE WESTAt an eatery with a Napa-only wine list, California is king
BY JOHN CAPONE
You’d think that placing a “Napa Valley only” limit on a restaurant wine list would consti-tute an unwelcome constraint in the eyes of sommeliers, but Kelli White and Sco� Brenner of Press in St. Helena, Calif., have accepted the challenge with enthusiasm. A� er moving to Napa from New York in 2010 to launch Press’ wine program, the two have assembled the largest collection of Napa bottles in wine country, with vintages going back to the 1940s.
“We both had tasted older California wine on the East Coast, but the quality out here, where the wines had moved less than a few miles in their existence, was so much be� er,” says White. Inspired, they set about snapping up cellar collections as they became available and urging wineries to part with older artifacts.
The mission led to some exciting discover-ies: fi ve decades of cabernet from the same winery, for instance, and a few bo� les of Cali-fornia grignolino (a tannic red rarely found outside Italy’s Piedmont region). “The project kept getting more and more compelling—brands we’d never heard of, bizarre varieties that were here before cabernet and chardon-nay mania wiped them all out,” White says.
Last year Press unveiled its new 10,000-bottle cellar, accessible via an iPad wine list, and with it the true scope of White and Brenner’s work. The collection represents the region in a way few restaurant wine lists can; enjoying it, with the help of the two curators, is like tasting a museum exhibit. And the hunt is far from over. “We’re still being surprised by the weird things we uncover,” White says.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA is justifi ably famous for its wines, but its temperate climate and rich soil are notable for producing another Mediterranean staple: olive oil. Like West Coast wines, these oils have unique characteristics. The best stuff tends to capture “the fresh fruit fl avor of the olive,” says Paul Vossen, a UC Coopera-tive Extension adviser. This may stem from the fact that California producers usually make their oil with stainless steel equipment instead of wood, which is favored in Greece, Spain and Italy.

proliferate. The vintners at Raymond Vineyards, Boisset Family Estates, Trefethen Family Vineyards and Cakebread Cellars were already mak-ing similar changes. And before long, all-purpose farm-wineries like Long Meadow Ranch—which raises cows and chickens in addition to growing olives, grapes and vegetables—began to pop up.
Best of all, much of the resulting produce has ended up in stores and on restaurant tables, a boon for a regional dining scene that’s long leaned toward locavorism. Frog’s Leap, for instance, takes produce from its three acres of gardens and sells it at the St. Helena Farmers’ Market. Cooked into a hearty meal, it’s perfect for pairing with—you guessed it—Napa Valley wines. —J.C.

The gold standard might well be found at McEvoy Ranch in Petaluma, stocked with gnarled olive trees imported from Tuscany and planted more than 20 years ago. The ranch grows six olive varieties, then blends them to make a single oil in a process very similar to the making of cuvée wine. In fact, at least one description, from foodie website Bite of the Best, sounds an awful lot like a wine tasting blurb, positing that McEvoy’s product expresses “aromas of parsley, cut grass and fresh basil as well as fl avors of artichoke.” —M.K.

DON’T BE SURPRISED if sometime in the future we get a new March holiday—Ziggy Day, say. Not only is David Bowie releasing his first album in a decade this month—ending
speculation that the singer, now 66, has gone pipe-and-slippers on us—but London’s Victoria and Albert Museum is also unveil-ing a huge retrospective of his career.
The curators of “David Bowie Is” pored over some 75,000 archival bits and bobs, accumulated by Bowie during half a century of manic creativity, to arrive at the 300-plus objects meant to reveal what the “Is” is. These range from Bowie’s Stardust-era psychedelic jumpsuit to the artist’s own diary entries (Friday: Revolutionize popular culture).
For co-curator Victoria Broackes, it’s the impromptu stuff that brings the show to life. “It’s extraordinary,” she
says of Bowie’s handwri� en lyrics, “seeing the crossings-out and line changes, how a song that’s become part of our lives’ soundtrack could have been so diff erent.”
Broackes describes Bowie as the “dream subject” for the V&A. “I cannot think of anyone—not just in pop, but in any fi eld—who has the breadth of
inspiration, output and reach that he has,” she says. “He worked on so many things, o� en at once. It really is astonishing.” MARCH 23

WITH ITS FLEA-BITTEN COUCHES, rising damp and dubious air qual-ity, the Van Nuys, Calif., recording studio Sound City wasn’t the kind of place you’d immediately associate with artistic inspira-tion—even for artists comfortable being identifi ed with the word “grunge.”
“We got there and walked down the hallways and saw all those platinum records,” says Dave Grohl, former drummer for Nirvana, recalling the band’s arrival at the squalid studio in 1991 to record Nevermind. “It was kind of surprising.”
Despite the studio’s acoustically imperfect rooms and decades-old Neve analog mixing console, Nevermind went on to become, well, Nevermind. And with its success, another smash record was added to Sound City’s résumé, which included albums by everyone from Fleetwood Mac to Metallica.
Eventually, bugs and cigare� e burns became the least of Sound City’s worries. Ever since the advent of digital technology, the tape-based recording employed by the studio had been inching toward oblivion. And when Sound City closed in 2011, the fate of its legendary Neve console was uncertain.
So Grohl bought it. His decision to assume ownership of this gigantic technologi-cal throwback was not entirely sentimental: The Foo Fighters frontman is convinced the board can continue to produce hits, and to this end he installed it in his own studio, just outside Los Angeles.
Grohl’s eff orts to acquire the board, meanwhile, led to his making a documentary about the history of the famous studio, the recently released Sound City. It was followed by an all-star album, Sound City: Real to Reel, recorded by some of the musicians featured in the fi lm, including Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks and Trent Reznor.
“I didn’t think there was a director inside me,” Grohl says. “But making the fi lm was a pleasure and, honestly, I thought it was easy.”
He goes on to admit that he did receive a li� le help along the way. “The person most responsible for the arc of the story was my mother, who was a creative-writing teacher,” he says. “She said, ‘Don’t give it away that you have the board. Tell the history of the studio … then it closes, then you get the board and then you make the record.’ I was like, ‘Huh. Thanks, Mom.’” ALBUM OUT MARCH 12
Keeping It RealDave Grohl shares his thoughts on low-tech wonders
On Trent Reznor: “He’s a brilliant, brilliant musician who doesn’t need technology. To see him sit down at a piano and play a piece of classical music is jaw-dropping, because he has incredible feel and time and a wonder-ful sense of tonality and composition.”On Muse: “That band could come into a studio with a board and a room like Sound City’s and make an album so powerful it would change the world. I don’t think Muse have to rely on anything but their own hands and their own hearts to make great music.”On being Wii-less: “You know, the pingpong table at my own studio might be as old as the Neve console from Sound City. I’ve got to say, I’m pretty old-school when it comes to pingpong.”

Making a diff erence. That’s what every good team captain wants. To motivate and encourage their players and to ensure that the results they achieve are remembered and make a diff erence in their life and the lives of others.
Right at Home is a respected interna-
tional care company based in the US
with almost 300 offi ces on 4 conti-
nents. It was Right at Home’s mission
to improve lives and the vast business
opportunities available, that convinced
Ken Deary to not only join the Right at Home team, but also become the team
captain for Right at Home UK.
“Having been a successful franchisee
for McDonald’s™ I learned a lot about
franchise systems, training and support.
I knew that franchising was the best way
to expand a business and I wanted to
be a part of that,” says Deary. “And this
time, I wanted to lead my own national
team of franchisees.”
Having seen fi rst hand with his own
family the need for quality in-home care
and the lack of good options in his com-
munity, Ken recognized immediately
the opportunity that Right at Home could give him. Statistics show that the
segment of people over the age of 85
is expected to quadruple by the year
2050. The need for quality in-home
senior care has never been needed
more than it is now.
Right at Home franchisees provide
in-home services such as meal prepa-
ration, companionship and medication
reminders for people needing assistance
with everyday tasks, enabling them to
remain in the place they are most com-
fortable…right in their own home.
“When I came across Right at Home,
I immediately knew that I had found a
winning team. They care about their
franchisees, the staff and caregivers and
the clients they serve. They are genuine.
I loved that. I loved the people and what
they stood for. I became an instant fan!”
proclaims Ken.
Ken Deary became the Master License
holder (franchisor) for the UK in Janu-
ary 2010. He opened his own pilot unit
in April 2010 and has since sold and
opened 13 franchises and is aiming for
20 by year end. He’s put together a win-
ning strategy, surrounded himself with
star players and has focused on scoring
the ultimate goal…making a diff erence
in his life and the lives of people in the
community.
“When I made the decision to join the
Right at Home team I didn’t take it
lightly,” professes Deary. “I did a lot of
research into the home care industry
and found that not only is good in-home
care needed now, it is going to be needed
even more over the coming decades. This
is a high growth area that will provide
security for Right at Home’s franchisees
and a wonderful caring service for the
clients who need us.”
Right at Home has franchises in the US,
Brazil, Canada, China and the UK and are
looking to expand at home and abroad.
Whether you want to captain your own
team internationally or would like to join
one of our winning teams in the US,
Brazil, Canada, China or the UK, Right at Home is looking for compassionate,
focused and dedicated players who
want to make a diff erence.
In football and
in life, we all have
the same goal…
to be part of awinning team.
IN 2050 THERE WILL BE2 BILLION PEOPLE OVER THEAGE OF 60 ON THE PLANET(compared with 700 million in 2010).
People aged 85 and over are the most rapidly growing age group worldwide. 1
The world’s 65 and over population increases by an average of 800,000 people each month. 2
The number of people living with dementia is estimated to double to 66 million by 2030.3

WE CAN NEVER REMEMBER exactly how that rhyme about snakes’ coloring goes, but we defi nitely don’t recall anything about green bands next to stiletto heels. Regardless, these vivid sandals—which slithered down spring runways in place of the staid white, tan or black python patterns of yesteryear—appear to be dangerous only in that they might cause traffi c acci-dents when you wear them out for cocktails. Brightly colored snakeskin instead of black? You’re all right, Jack.

While legwear has acquired some astonishing hues in recent seasons, color seems to have drained out of
the accompanying shoes. Among the most exciting styles we’ve seen, for instance, are strappy white
heels featuring mesh panels, cut-out bits or sparkly holographic elements. On the spring runways, many of these were paired with
raucous fl oral skirts or brocade pants. Oh, so that’s
what you’re supposed to wear with those.

Men’s shoes stroll into the limelight
“ Women have too many shoes” is an understandable sentiment—if and only if your own footwear options are limited to three or four standard styles in various shades of bland. This season, however, many men’s designers have expanded their lines to include silhoue� es such as wingtips, brogues and boat shoes in unconventional colors, fi nally making an expanded shoe collection a possibility for men who don’t want to wear high-tops. Hey, guys, good luck fi � ing all these options in your “half” of the closet.

It’s the same old story every time – you travel for work but never actually
see anything. So next time you’re in town, make the most out of your journey
with a Bizcation™ – add a day or two to your business trip and see what the
Bay Area really has to off er.
You could start by going north on Highway 101, which
takes you over the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a treat of
a drive – if you’ve got a sunroof or a convertible, glance
up at its mighty spars to fully appreciate what a feat of
engineering the bridge is. Meanwhile, sailboats some
220 feet below you tack back and forth on winds fresh
off the Pacifi c Ocean to the west. Then the road quickly
takes you into the high, green country just above the
bay. But there’s no point in rushing, so pit-stop in San
Francisco’s own Riviera of Sausalito. Drive down past
charming houses nestled on the hill, and at the water’s
edge you’ll fi nd colorful houseboats and the catch of
the day in any of the restaurants.
Back on the road, you’re only about an hour from
Napa Valley. The area is just 35 miles long, so you
can reach everything from whichever of the 150 or
so accommodations you choose. From Calistoga in
the north to American Canyon in the south, there are
eight distinctive communities off ering you some of
California’s best food, natural spas and, of course,
wineries. There’s a strong culture of farm-to-table
cuisine that has attracted top chefs like Cindy Pawlcyn,
the genius behind local favorite Cindy’s Backstreet
Kitchen in St. Helena. On the way back, shop for
antiques or picnic on the grounds of a winery. If you’re
in an SUV, you’ll certainly enjoy the extra room after
all the food – not to mention the space to carry home
a few souvenirs.
To the east of San Francisco lie gems like Lake Tahoe
and Yosemite National Park. Beautiful Carmel and the
outstanding Monterey Bay Aquarium are south on
world-famous Highway 1. But if you can’t do it all this
time, don’t worry. There’s always another business trip
crying out to become your next Bizcation.

THE MERE FACT THAT I’m wearing a kilt and white kneesocks isn’t what’s making today’s round at The Westin Kierland Resort feel a bit unusual. It’s that I’m dressed in a kilt and I’m about to ride out to my fi rst tee shot on a Segway like some kind of Sco� ish charioteer.
Having hit my opening drive, I mount the scooter and lean forward. The manicured grass beneath me fl ies past in a green blur as I teeter, trying to maintain both balance and dignity. Following a successful (if inelegant) dismount, I grab a 5-wood and hit just short of the fi rst pu� ing surface into a sloping, tightly mown collection area. From here I get up and down, thanks to a beautiful rolling pitch shot.
I’d bow, but given my outfi t, it might be safer if I curtsied.Golfers who’ve been to Scotland more than once know
that the most satisfying golf experiences are o� en found
away from the trophy courses. So it is here in Scottsdale, Ariz., where—beyond bucket-list venues like Champions and Stadium at TPC, We-Ko-Pa and Grayhawk—you’ll discover a wealth of lesser-known spots off ering unusual new programs, unexpected quality, smaller crowds and lower green fees. Kierland’s Sco� ish-themed package, for instance, includes a loan of formal Sco� ish a� ire and a bagpiper calling you in at the 18th green to sip Johnnie Walker at the Caledonian-infl uenced gastropub Bri� lebush.
Kierland’s three nine-hole golf loops, designed by Sco� Miller, feature golden desert grasses, elevation changes, dry washes and more than 300 bunkers of every shape and size fi lled with gleaming white sand. Ribbons of sandy waste areas and dun-colored dormant grasses frame many holes and accentuate the targets. Gently rolling mounds

may reward slightly errant shots or create sidehill lies that will challenge your iron game. They will also challenge your Segway skills (though you can opt for a cart with an air-cooled mister, which comes in handy when the mercury soars into triple digits).
While the name of fi ve-diamond resort The Phoenician suggests a leap back in history, the property is in fact a paean to modern luxury. One morning I roamed the cactus garden across from the lobby, admiring barrel cacti, smooth-barked palo verde trees and other local fl ora while sip-ping my coff ee. In the evening, we sat by a fi re pit and watched the sky turn purple and the stars pop out above Camelback Mountain, just behind the sprawling wings of the hotel.
The Phoenician proves that a course doesn’t have to be long and diffi cult to be, well, diffi cult. These 27 holes are all about subtlety—and they’re also about Camel-back Mountain, which the golf course meanders around and sometimes nearly over and back down. Camelback quietly influences not just putts, but also club selection, stance and maybe even your mood. At times during my round, I lost track of the mountain, focusing instead
on the task at hand (i.e., ge� ing the golf ball to land somewhere near the pin). But then I’d leave a 3-foot pu� a foot short on a seemingly fl at green, look up to see the mountain lurking and realize that the green was practically straight uphill.
The Desert/Canyon routing commences amid a tranquil setting of flower beds, palms and mesquite, winds past resort facilities and stately Spanish-style houses, then transitions into a wilder terrain of rock and brush. As we were deciding what club to hit for our tee shots on the Desert’s par-3 sixth, which drops 100 feet to a glimmering island of green, some hikers stopped to watch—and we suddenly real-ized that laughter, particularly the derisive kind, echoes here (in other words: choose carefully). The Canyon has even more elevation changes and, at the seventh and eighth holes, back-to-back par-3s decorated with streams, gardens and waterfalls.
Fountain Hills’ SunRidge Canyon Golf Club is home to the Jim McLean Golf School, which is convenient, as you’ll need an improved short game to master 18 holes that blend into the land as if they were carved by the movement of water and wind over millennia. Architect Keith Foster sited the holes in red rock canyons
and atop boulder-strewn ridges—creating distinctly diff erent canvases of gorgeously rendered golf features.
The opening salvo descends gradually before doubling back to climb on the way in. Don’t forget this, as you’ll want to make your pars and birdies early. Ravine cross-ings are o� en required, but always present themselves clearly (so you’ll have only yourself to blame if you duff it, as when I landed in a dry arroyo a� er stubbing a 3-wood on the 12th). No. 13 kicks off the so-called Wicked Six, which plays mostly uphill into the wind, and encompasses

water, steep drops around elevated greens, and other features that are maddening and entertaining by turns.
The Native American–owned Talking Stick Resort boasts two golf layouts designed by Coore & Crenshaw. I ventured out on the North Course, which opens with a couple of wide, welcoming fairways that seem impossible to miss off the tee (note: seem) before narrowing toward the fi rst few greens. The la� er reside awfully close to rough desert scrub, where we actually saw a herd of wild horses grazing. By the third hole, bunker pods and waste areas grow increasingly prevalent and closer to the fi elds of play.
No. 12 proved to be one of my favorites: a 392-yard dogleg called Red Mountain Gambler. Golfers choosing to take a chance must carry 204 yards of sandy waste area with their drives. Less adventuresome players can bail out to the right—or, like me, opt to carry the sand but hit it to the right anyway, by accident, leaving a long approach that must carry an arroyo in front of the green. And the greens themselves (newly rebuilt, lovely to look
at, completely unforgiving) have a way of trampolining good shots to the back of, or clean over, the pu� ing surfaces.
Six thousand Georgia pines distinguishRaven Golf Club—formerly known as The Raven at South Mountain—from the area golf courses that accentuate their Sonoran cred. In addition to the new name, the Phoenix facility spotlights a new trend in golf: a set of family tees shrunk down to 4,100 yards.
Gary Panks and David Graham, designers known for their desert golf architecture, let the cacti and ra� lesnakes remain in the background on a lush, expansive layout. Subtleties abound, such
as the sloped embankments lining the fi rst hole that work to guide slightly mis-hit shots back to the fairway. Also at work is a design that requires strategy to ensure the best “leaves,” as in billiards. Angles of a� ack ma� er here, so profi cient players will want to think a shot or two ahead. No. 5 is the signature hole—a super-short par-4 where wise golfers will hit an iron to the le� off the tee and then avoid both the false front before the green and the deep retention area behind it (wiser golfers than I, who experienced both). The back nine plays a few shots easier than the front. Stadium-size pu� ing surfaces may aff ect the yardages on many holes, so check pin positions before fi ring.
When you’ve fi nished with golf, refuel at any number of great clubhouse and resort restaurants close by the courses, such as Relish Burger Bistro at The Phoenician (I recommend the Kobe beef burger in par-ticular) and Deseo at The Westin Kierland, whose spicy Nuevo Latino cuisine is the perfect counterpoint to a breeze blowing up your kilt.

REBUILDING ROME IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS
There are few reminders of the Roman Empire’s gran-deur more arresting than the Colosseum, still standing a� er nearly 2,000 years. In order to remain standing for the next 2,000, however, the building needs some help. Researchers from Sapienza University of Rome have con-fi rmed that the south side of the foundation—which rests on the so� er ground that was once beneath an artifi cial lake created for the emperor Nero—is sagging. To even out the foundation, check for cracks, clean the stonework and make repairs, all while keeping the building open to tourists, Italy’s Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activi-ties is undertaking the fi rst-ever Colosseum restoration project. Scheduled to wrap in 2015, it’s priced at roughly $33 million and is largely fi nanced by Italian shoemaker Tod’s. Here’s how they’ll do it. BY JACQUELINE DETWILER
HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • MARCH 2013 • ILLUSTRATION BY JAMES PROVOST 57
1 Scaff olds positioned in front of the fi rst four arcades will allow workers to clean and repair the building’s exterior while maintaining areas for tourists. The temporary metal stays used to protect the Colosseum’s arches will be removed, and the arches will be shored up more permanently.
2 A major aim is to increase the public space by 25 percent. Workers will accomplish this in part by building a visitors center with a café, a bookshop and a display of artifacts discovered during the renovation (including an 18th-century model of the Colosseum complete with secret passageways).
3 Throughout the project, scientists from Sapienza University will monitor the building using high-sensitivity accelerometers that can record accelerations as small as 1/10,000th the force of gravity. This will help offi cials prevent further damage to the masonry from traffi c, subways, tourists, wind and earthquakes.

INTEL, YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR
FULLY AUTOMATED VEHICLES PROMISE TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS AND SAVE DRIVERS TIME AND MONEY, BUT THEIR LONG-AWAITED
ARRIVAL MAY NOT BE GOOD NEWS FOR ALLBY BOYD FARROW
Three decades ago, driverless cars were everywhere. Among the most popular novels(and films) of 1983 was Stephen King’s Christine, about a malevolent Plymouth on a hit-and-run spree. One of the best-loved TV shows was “Knight Rider,” in which a big-haired David Hasselhoff teamed up with an opinionated Trans Am to fi ght crime.
Then, poof: Self-driven cars went the way of the jet pack and the robot maid—an absorbing fi ction, but li� le more.
Now, however, the fantasy seems about to be realized. “It’s really happening. All car companies are investing lots of money in this,” says John Leech, U.K. head of auto-motive for accounting giant KPMG. “The technology is here now—automatic brak-ing, cruise control and lane centering are available. The next stage is getting total mobile Internet connectivity to join up all the sensors. We are on a gradual jour-ney to fully automatic driving.”
p059-061_HEM0313_Industry.indd 59p059-061_HEM0313_Industry.indd 59 31/01/2013 09:5431/01/2013 09:54
BRIGHT IDEAS || INDUSTRY
Several tests have already been conducted on public roads with cars whose manual brakes and steering wheels were replaced with sensors and so� ware enabling vehicle-to-vehicle communica-tion. Volvo recently had four self-driving cars platooning at 53 mph along a 124-mile route near Barcelona. Engineers from German automotive supplier Continental have racked up 10,000-plus miles test-driving automated Volkswagen Passats in the U.S. and Germany. Last fall the state of California enacted legislation that paves the way for test-drives in traffi c by Google’s computerized Toyota Priuses, which have been in trials in Nevada for almost a year.
A recent study by KPMG, in col-laboration with the nonprofit Center for Automotive Research, suggests that the first cars capable of communicat-ing with traffi c infrastructure and with each other could come onto the market within fi ve to 10 years. Indeed, the study’s authors speculated that there will be so many autonomous vehicles on the road by 2025, people stopped at traffi c lights won’t do a double-take if a car pulls up and its “driver” is shaving.
Like many watershed technologi-cal developments, this one is arriving in increments. For years, automakers have been engaged in a fi erce competi-tion to off er increasingly sophisticated driver-assist features. The 2014 Mercedes S-Class, due to launch this year, boasts
26 separate sensors that can monitor traffi c up to 656 feet ahead, recognize lane markings and use the vehicle in front as a positioning beacon when no lane mark-ings are visible.
It’s not only the car companies that have a stake in this technology. The motor club federation AAA has estimated the annual cost of U.S. road accidents at about $300 billion. Traffic congestion, meanwhile, robs Americans of nearly 5 billion hours a year and costs about $100 billion in lost productivity and fuel expenses. Self-driving cars could put a significant dent in these figures, with the added benefit of increased fuel effi ciency.
It is the nature of revolutions, though, for fortunes to be raised and lowered in equal number. Certainly, when this technology takes off —nobody is saying if anymore—the automotive industry will enter a period of transformation. Tech fi rms appear set to emerge as the big winners, as their input will no longer be confi ned to providing “extras”; rather, they’ll be shaping the fundamentals of the driving experience. Intel, Google and others are already sinking billions into research and development, threatening to diminish the role that traditional carmakers play in devising the vehicles of tomorrow.
Indeed, in one scenario envisioned by KPMG, major players in the data market could design a vehicle operating system

If you’re looking for a detailed rundown on that meeting you missed, you’d probably do best to ask the quiet
girl who sits in the corner. According to a study by Dutch scientist Camiel Beukeboom published in The Journal of Language and Social Psychology, an introvert is far more
likely than an extrovert to use specifi c descriptive language. In the experiment, subjects described a set of photos, then
returned days later to take a personality test. It turned out that among extroverts, abstract speech patterns (The boss was being mean) were far more common than concrete ones (The boss argued with the sales team). The reverse was true for introverts, who also used more numbers, articles (such as “the”) and references to specifi c people. That’s not to say the news is all bad for boisterous types: Researchers believe extroverts may be better at interpret-ing actions to draw inferences about people and situations. Anyway, happy hour is, uh, down the street. Hope you can make it. —JACQUELINE DETWILER

and simply outsource the production of the actual vehicle to an external partner—possibly someone other than a tra-ditional automotive manufacturer. As Larry Burns, co-author of Reinventing the Automobile, said in a presentation to the National Automobile Dealers Association in New York last year, “Incumbent players rarely do well when industries disrupt.”
There will be a knock-on effect for other players, too. Steelmakers, faced with the prospect of safer and therefore less fortifi ed vehicles, are likely viewing developments with concern. And nobody has yet been able to fathom what all this will mean for insurance companies. Who’s at fault when two fully automated cars collide?
For the likes of you and me, auto-mated vehicles promise to save time and money and to improve our personal safety. Moreover, who wouldn’t relish the opportunity for a nice snooze during those interminable trips to the in-laws’ place at Thanksgiving? But Leech, for all his conviction, doesn’t foresee the demise of the steering wheel and brake pedal just yet.
“For some, the whole point of driving is the actual driving,” he says. “People will carry on buying Ferraris.”
BOYD FARROW is dreading the day when someone comes up with the automated magazine columnist.

On a summer night in 2007, in the southeast corner of the Netherlands, Hanny van Arkel discovered a never-before-seen space object: a gas cloud wrapped around a former galaxy 730 million light-years from Earth. Van Arkel spo� ed the glowing green blob now known as Hanny’s Voorwerp (Dutch for “object”) while classifying galaxies in one of millions of photos taken during an exhaustive space-mapping eff ort called the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. ¶ Van Arkel, it turns out, is not a professional astronomer but a 29-year-old schoolteacher and amateur musician.

website of her musical idol, Brian May, guitarist in the rock band Queen. Intrigued, she sought out the photos’ source, a site called Galaxy Zoo. Soon a� er-ward, having sat through a quick tutorial, she set to work.
Unable to process the volume of images they’d amassed, Galaxy Zoo’s astronomers had decided to recruit members of the public to help out. Van Arkel was just one of 150,000 people who contributed to the project in its fi rst year, generating more than 50 million classifi cations. The project has since received countless millions more, allowing scientists to be� er explore such topics as bars and bulges in disc galaxies and the sudden deaths of quasars.
Astronomers are not the only experts willing to let amateurs get involved in their work. So-called “citizen scientists” are now being recruited to assist with everything from archaeology to cancer research. Anyone can participate in these projects: Joining generally requires only an Internet connection, a decent attention span and a lot of spare time. True, the trend may threaten to knock scientists out of their ivory towers—but few are inclined to complain about hav-ing access to what is, in eff ect, a million unpaid research assistants.
There have, in fact, been previous large-scale eff orts to apply the resources of ordinary people to scientifi c research. Back in 1999, SETI@home sought to fur-ther the search for extraterrestrial life by harnessing unused processing power from thousands of individuals’ PCs to create a virtual supercomputer. The
project ultimately failed to turn up any aliens, but it was nonetheless hailed as a mighty success.
The citizen science model takes inspiration from the SETI@home project, only in this instance the excess processing power comes from a far more sophisticated machine: the human brain. And while the idea itself is nothing new—fi elds like public health and conser-vation have been soliciting input from laypersons for decades—citizen science builds on the very contemporary phenomenon of crowdsourcing, which has systematically decentralized research and development in ways that would have been unimaginable a few years ago.
So it is, across the world, that we have a� orneys mapping bird migration, bus drivers decoding whale songs and schoolteachers discovering far-off gas clouds. Some projects even require partici-pants to go out into the fi eld. Earthwatch Institute, one of the earliest proponents of citizen science, invites amateur researchers to get their boots muddy in far-fl ung places like Malawi and Ecuador, for instance.
Meanwhile, an off-shoot dubbed “extreme citizen science” aims to help disenfranchised communities create their own projects, and in doing so explore topics that are near and dear to them. In one recent example, an anthropologist at Uni-versity College London helped (by way of GPS and other modern doodads) a Pygmy community in Congo identify and protect its most valued trees, which were being threatened by the chain saws of a logging conglomerate.
While the benefi ts to researchers are obvious, many believe that the rise of citizen science will have profound eff ects on not only the fi eld of scientifi c discovery, but also the culture at large. If nothing else, the shroud of mystery that has always obscured scholarly exper-tise is being stripped away, replaced by something more collaborative, more accessible, even more fun. Jennifer Shirk, a Ph.D. candidate at Cornell University who studies citizen science, is fascinated by the potential. “What might we be able to accomplish,” she says, “if we start thinking about science in those terms?”
Hanny van Arkel now has her own website, on which she shares her musings on a wide range of topics, including what she calls “my object in the sky.” She’s available to do lectures for experts or novices, she explains, and she also has quite a lot to say on the subject of Brian May. Her voorwerp, meanwhile, is being scrutinized by scientists, who would love to fi nd other objects like it—and who would welcome any help they can get.

LIKE A LOT OF CELEBRITIES, Matt Damon has his pet causes. In contrast to many of his peers, though, he actually digs in and does the work. And in Damon’s world, there is nothing more important than clean water. As co-founder of Water.org, which helps poor communities build their own water supply systems, he’s determined to see that fresh water is available to the mil-lions who don’t have it. That sounds far-fetched in a Hollywood-movie sort of way, but Water.org is intent on harnessing market forces to make wholesale gains, rather than just drilling a few more wells.
Of course, in his spare time Damon continues to tend to his career as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. I met him at the Waldorf Astoria in Manha� an late last year, when he was in town doing press for Promised Land, the Gus Van Sant indie he wrote with John Krasinski (“The Offi ce”) about one community’s struggles over le� ing a big energy company set up a fracking opera-tion. (Damon’s prowess as an author is proven; recall that his sole Oscar is for co-writing Good Will Hunting.) And he was fresh off receiving a career achievement award at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York City—a notable accomplishment, given that he’s only 42.
With his hair cropped short for a role as a soldier in the futuristic Elysium (due out in August), and wearing a pair of glasses that could have been right off the drugstore rack, Damon looked like a mighty regular guy when we met. Over a couple of bo� les of water, we talked about, well, water, then Promised Land, balancing career and family, and, fi nally, temporary baldness. Among folks who cover the famous, Damon is considered the gold standard: smart, funny, nice, always plays ball. This interview was no exception.

HEMISPHERES: For a big name such as yourself, there are plenty of good causes on which to expend celebrity capital. What made you think you could put a dent in the world’s water problems?
DAMON: The enormity of it. Water
underpins everything. My personal
connection started when I went on a
water collection with a 14-year-old girl
in Zambia, and she grabbed her jerrican
and we walked a mile to the well. It was
a long walk, and we talked about all the
things she could be doing if she didn’t
have to walk so far to get water.
HEMISPHERES: Which one of you carried the can back?
DAMON: She did, like it was nothing.
I was in Ethiopia a couple of years ago,
and there was an 8-year-old girl who
li� ed one of these cans and started
walking up a hill. I said, “Give me that
thing,” took it and tried to walk up.
I was in shape—I was doing Invictus,
which was a rugby movie—and it was
hard. That kid weighed a third of what
I weighed. It was amazing what she
went through to get water.
HEMISPHERES: But water has a bit of a marketing problem. Because it’s so abundant here, people can’t imagine how big a deal it is in sub-Saharan Africa. In terms of global issues, AIDS actually has more traction in the public consciousness.
DAMON: Yeah, because everybody
knows, or has known, somebody
with AIDS. My wife’s father died of it.
It touches people in a very personal
way. The fi rst hurdle we have to clear
is trying to explain to the public that
there are 780 million people who
don’t have access to clean and safe
water, that every 21 seconds a kid
under the age of 5 dies from a water-
related disease. It just doesn’t make
sense to people. There’s clean water
in this room; there’s clean water all
over the West. We’ve known how
to access clean water for a hundred
years. We’ve fi gured that out. Now
it’s a ma� er of making sure that it
extends to everyone.
HEMISPHERES: It’s not like people aren’t trying to get it done.
DAMON: Sure, but half of all water
projects fail. There are massive
ineffi ciencies in the space. That’s one
of the things I love about Gary White,
who runs Water.org. Digging wells
won’t solve the problem. We’ll never
be able to dig enough wells. So Gary
invented this idea of “water credit,”
which is really brilliant. It helps turn
people into customers, and uses the
power of the market to access exist-
ing resources.

For generations, the residents of a small,
rural slice of Mexico’s Sierra Madre
mountains have pursued their livelihoods
at the expense of the monarch butterfl y.
Now, locals and the migrating insects have
forged an unlikely alliance. PHIL PRIMACK
travels to Michoacán to investigate.

S THE PEOPLE around him huff and puff their way along a rocky trail 10,000 feet up in Mexico’s Sierra Madre mountains,
Javier Martínez Colín walks with the easy gait of a man in familiar territory. The 56-year-old chairman of his local ejido, or agricultural collective, says li� le as the path narrows and the forest grows denser. The group is entering the Sierra Chincua sanctuary, and Martínez knows what’s coming next.
A solitary bu� erfl y fl i� ers over the path. Then fi ve, then a dozen. Before long, the air is thick with them. Weighing just half a gram each, the insects cling to the trees in such numbers that the branches bend under their weight. Finally, the trees don’t look like trees at all, but tree-shaped clumps of wings. Beneath his white straw cowboy hat, Martínez looks on coolly as his charges fumble for their cameras. All his life he has watched las monarcas return to their winter retreats in the states of Michoacán and Mexico, turning the forest into a vivid swirl of orange and black. He played with them as a kid.
Monarch migration to this beautiful but poor slice of Mexico is now recognized as a wonder of the natural world. UNESCO granted the protected sanctuaries World Heritage Site status in 2008. However, the bu� erfl ies were not always warmly embraced here. “People used to think the monarchs were the souls of the departed,” Martínez says, explaining that the bu� erfl ies’ fi ve-month stay usually begins around Nov. 1, Mexico’s Day of the Dead. Later, as their numbers declined and conservation eff orts were taken up, the monarchs came to be viewed as actual impediments to human survival, sparking illegal logging rackets and, in places, civil unrest.
It’s been a long, diffi cult struggle, but it has fi nally ended. In Sierra Chincua, Martínez leans back against an oyamel fi r, the hum of countless bu� erfl y wings overhead. Having grown up helping his father log these forests, he knows his livelihood now relies on something that until recently seemed inconceivable: keeping them intact.

IT’S AN AGE-OLD conservationist conundrum, one that is played out in various forms across the world: the con-
fl icting environmental needs of humans and wildlife. Historically, of course, humans have generally prevailed—some-times to the extent that a rival species is displaced altogether. By the mid-1980s, there was a real concern that this would be the fate of Mexico’s monarchs, whose habitat was being destroyed at an alarm-ing rate. But when the government moved to formally restrict logging in these areas, it provoked an angry response.
“At first, people resented what the government did,” says Ana Maria Muñiz Salcedo, co-founder of Alternare, a Michoacán-based nonprofi t that promotes sustainable living. “People depended on
the trees for income and to cook and to heat their houses. This was a major switch in their way of life, but nobody came to ask them—even though they were the owners of the forests.”
Things intensified in 2000 with the establishment of the Monarch Bu� erfl y Biosphere Reserve, a protection zone that encompasses about 217 square miles (an area roughly the size of Chicago). The reserve was good news for las monarcas,but not for those residents whose
livelihoods were eff ectively cut off . “We did not have a good fi rst impression about the government’s plans,” recalls Martínez, as a monarch lands on his shoulder. “People were worried.”
Many simply ignored the restrictions, while others organized illegal logging gangs—or “mafias,” as the locals called them—that developed a fearsome reputation. Even after the forests came under federal protection, more than 1,000 acres a year were still being cleared. The

police made arrests. Some locals dug ditches and set fires to deter the chain saw–toting thugs in their communities. There were even calls for a permanent military presence in the area. But the eff orts were nei-ther consistent nor coordinated, and the monarchs’ habitat continued to dwindle.
Then, in 2004, the World Wildlife Fund, which had been struggling to protect the monarchs for more than two decades, proposed a radical solu-tion. Rather than trying to compel people to stop destroying the forests, it said, why not create an environ-ment in which they would want to stop? “We help people understand that, if managed well, these forests could generate a lot of money for all
of them,” explains Eduardo Rendón Salinas, who directs the WWF’s mon-arch program in Mexico. “People have become conscious of the benefi ts of the forest not only to the monarchs, but also to their own lives.”
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF
the change taking hold can be found in the story of
two brothers, Miguel and Salvador Cayetano Contreras. In the indig-enous community of Crescencio Morales, located in a valley below the monarchs’ mountain reserves, the brothers tend to thousands of firs and other pine trees. The sap-lings grow in long, orderly rows in the small field that is home to the subsidized vivero, or nursery, that they set up after returning from a decade working construction in New
York. The idea is that Miguel and Sal-vador will grow trees to replenish the forests that were culled by loggers, while proceeds from the sale of the trees will help protect these same forests in the future. “The project is part of an agreement we made not to cut trees, in exchange for support for the vivero,” says Miguel. “Even though the monarch does not fly here, we benefi t from it.”
Modesta Flores Sánchez is part of a similar program. Behind a simple cinder-block house lined with fl ow-ers, she keeps a small greenhouse full of the mushrooms that she and other members of her ejido have been trained to grow and sell. “This has made things be� er for us,” she says, gesturing at the modest crop
as two of her grandchildren look on. Using public and private donations, the WWF covered the $5,000 startup cost for the mushroom enterprise, and has supported others like it across the reserve area—again, with the aim of drawing people out of the forests and into the fields. Or sometimes the gi� shops.
A great many of the work-creation schemes here have focused on the ecotourism market. The four bu� er-fly sanctuaries open to the public a� ract as many as 150,000 visitors a year, sparking a need for everything from tour guides to food vendors to vigilancia comunitaria, or com-munity surveillance teams, which patrol the reserves and report illegal logging. Still, it was a tough sell. “When the reserve was created, I had to convince

WHEN FACED WITH the prospect of describing
Kelowna, a wine making and ski resort town
surrounded by three mountain ranges and a
lake in Canada’s Okana-gan Valley, one is tempted
to rely on juxtaposition: Napa meets Tahoe, Side-
ways meets Dirty Dancing, Ski Party meets Meatballs.
Otherwise, conveying the scope of the place
can be diffi cult. In valleys abu� ing a 68-mile-long
lake fed by crystalline mountain streams sit nearly 30 wineries, 20
golf courses, countless running and biking
trails, and a ski resort with some of the most pillowy powder in the
world. ¶ What the com-parisons fail to capture, however, is that unlike
Napa or Tahoe, Kelowna is a 1,120-square-mile
playground that remains largely untouched by the other kids. You can taste
wines poured by the vint-ners themselves, swoop
down black diamond runs all by yourself and procure a lakeside table
without making reserva-tions a week in advance.
As one local ski instructor puts it, “I think I waited in a li� line for fi ve minutes
... once?” Napa meets Tahoe meets Narnia.
There. That should do it.

KELOWNA || THREE PERFECT DAYS
DAY ONE | It’s a powder day when you wake up in your luxury Stonebridge Lodge apartment at Big White Ski Resort, so you don’t bother turning on the fi replace or the hot tub while you toss back a cup of coff ee. You’ve stored your skis and boots in the lockers downstairs, and in less than 15 minutes you’re out the door and hoofi ng it to Beano’s Coff ee Parlor in Big White Village. On the way to breakfast, you accidentally take a step off the path and sink into a snowdri� up to your hip. It’s gonna be a good morning.
With a fortifying ham-egg-and-veggie bagel in hand, you secure the services of a spunky British ski instructor named Fi, and the two of you head for the slopes via the Snow Ghost Express. As you peer out at a panorama of droopy, haphazardly snow-dusted Dr. Seuss trees, the powder comes down so so� ly it gli� ers in the air like a holiday store display. With each hundred-foot rise up
the mountain, the trees gain another layer of snow, until they could be mistaken for contorted yeti reaching up for your feet. These are the fabled “snow ghosts” of Big White, Fi says, and the li� you’re riding is named in their honor.
You soon fi nd out why. Tree skiing is Big White’s showpiece—the fl uff between the trunks is thick and airy, staying so� for weeks. You have so much fun slashing through the snow ghosts that your
quads don’t call for a break until well a� er noon.When they do, you stow your skis and wander over to the west
side of the village, where the après parties are already beginning at the ice bar behind Carvers. Inside, you order a hearty plate of vindaloo poutine, an Indian twist on a French-Canadian classic that combines sweet potato fries, braised lamb and cheese curds. It’s so delicious you wonder why there isn’t an Indian restaurant

HOW ’BOUT THEM APPLES?Canada’s fruit basket sees the fi rst non-browning varieties
The Okanagan Valley’s moder-ate climate and rich silt are a boon for more than just winemakers. Since the S&O Railway arrived in 1892, the area around Kelowna has been one of the most important agricultural regions in British Columbia, par-ticularly in terms of fruit. Today, the Okanagan provides Canada with 75 percent of its apricots, 40 percent of its cherries and 20 percent of its peaches, plums, pears and apples.
Now a local agriculture biotech fi rm called Okanagan Specialty Fruits has upped the ante. By modifying the gene that produces polyphenol oxidase (the enzyme that makes sliced apples turn brown), the company has created the world’s fi rst non-browning apple, dubbed the Arctic. Reactions have been mixed: Some worry that con-sumers may be nervous about genetically modifi ed apples; others say the breakthrough will encourage people to eat more pre-sliced fruit instead of fries or chips. With government approval pending, the fate of the Arctic apple is uncertain, but the folks at Specialty Fruits remain bullish. “If it’s successful,” company president Neal Carter said last year, “all the big guys will be piling in to be second.”
on every ski mountain; in fact, you ponder the fi nancial viability of such a venture while skiing circles around snow ghosts the rest of the a� ernoon. When the light fi nally starts to fade, you call it a day and return to Stonebridge for a shower.
Warmly clad in an abundance of fl an-nel, you walk back into the village to fi nd a lively crowd at The BullWheel, a sporty burger bar with hockey on several TVs. You’ve heard the bit about Canadians being friendly, but here the patrons are so personable that within minutes nearly everyone at the bar has leaned in to smell the maple-finished Crown Royal you’re drinking. “I think they age it in maple syrup barrels?” ventures one patron as a friendly debate erupts about how it’s made. (A quick check with
Google shows that it is fi nished in maple-toasted oak barrels.)
Before long, The BullWheel’s famously gregarious and well-traveled manager, Al, is regaling the assembled company with the story of the time he drove a three-wheeled mototaxi across the Peruvian Andes (the jersey Al wore on said trip, along with a few of his other sartorial artifacts, can be found on the bar’s walls). Although you would love to stay and hear more, your stomach has started grumbling. So you take a gondola over to Kettle Valley Steakhouse, where your waiter suggests a local wine to pair with a 1½-inch cowboy-cut rib steak in Mada-gascar peppercorn sauce. The result is a meal befi � ing someone who skied 20,000 vertical feet today (namely, you).

KELOWNA || THREE PERFECT DAYS
Because skiers are notoriously early to rise—and therefore early to drink—it’s still barely evening when you’ve fi nished eating. There’s no way you’re ge� ing to bed without a nightcap. You opt for the legendary Gunbarrel Coffee—decaf, of course—at the Gunbarrel Grill. Working from a cart in what looks like the lodge of an exceptionally talented hunting family, your waiter heats a sugar-rimmed glass and fi lls it with brandy, coff ee and cream, then pours flaming Grand Mar-nier down the barrel of a shotgun into your drink. The other patrons clap in awe as this process is completed; within minutes, similar carts bearing shotguns appear at many of their tables. Launch-ing the evening’s drinking festivities, you decide, is enough of an accomplishment to merit hanging up your ski beanie for the day.
DAY TWO | Your legs are screaming from yesterday’s powderfest, so you skip the hill and sleep in awhile before strolling over to Santé for a leisurely breakfast of eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and capers. A� er that, you’re off to see a man about 31 dogs.
The man’s name is Tim, and the dogs are Alaskan huskies. As the proprietors of Candle Creek Kennels, Tim and wife Kerry have adopted a passel of mu� s that didn’t quite make Iditarod teams, in addition to other unwanted sled dogs from all over British Columbia. While Tim selects the dogs for today’s ride, it becomes clear that the energetic pups still really enjoy pulling sleds, Iditarod or no. They hop on top of their doghouses, bark, roll around on the ground and chomp mouthfuls of snow. Once roped in, the eight lucky winners pull you on a zippy three-mile loop through a

dinner before the game.”
solemn pine wood—and even pose for pictures before you grudgingly take your leave.
On your way back to the gondola, you can’t help but notice what looks like a 60-foot, powder-blue frozen waterfall. You stop into a nearby warming shed to ask what it’s for, and find yourself quickly outfitted with crampons, a harness and a pair of pickaxes. Jim, a certifi ed climbing guide with almost four decades’ experience, hooks you into a top rope as he informs you that this is Big White’s Ice Climbing Tower. “Just, uh, climb it?” you say, and Jim nods as if scaling a six-story column of ice is the easiest thing in the world. Ten agonizing minutes later, you actually reach the top and, with your pickax, ring a small bell that hangs there. You think your back may punish you for this later, but you’ve earned some mighty impressive pictures.
To celebrate, you take the gondola to Globe, a petite tapas joint known for having the best coff ee on the mountain. There you scarf down a sandwich of Italian charcuterie followed by a set of s’mores, which arrive alongside a fl ame for roasting the house-made marshmallows.
In a sugary fog, you bid farewell to Big White and drive down into the town of Kelowna itself, where you check into the lake-front Hotel Eldorado. Your room reminds you of a boathouse, with antiqued wood fl oors, cozy cream linens and the occasional paddle mounted on the wall. Still a bit chilled, you’re immediately drawn to the programmable whirlpool tub in an alcove with waterfront windows (covered with white wooden slats, adjustable for privacy). Dinner, you decide, can wait an hour.
OK, maybe a li� le more than an hour. You eventually amble downtown to Waterfront, a restaurant and wine bar whose chef, Mark Filatow, is one of the few in Canada who are also members of the prestigious Sommelier Guild. With his help, you order a round of creamy Pacifi c oysters, braised pork–stuff ed ravioli in white wine and pance� a cream, and a bu� ery duck breast with mushroom and spaetzle sauté paired with glasses of spectacular local riesling and pinot noir. A waiter arrives with a dessert menu, but—a� er two days of skiing, ice climbing and dogsledding—you’re spent. You head back to the hotel and reluc-tantly close the slats.

THREE PERFECT DAYS || KELOWNA
DAY THREE | It’s a struggle to leave the view from your room at the Eldorado,but seeing all the boats in their slips reminds you that Kelowna has free Sunday parking, so you drive down-town to check out the shops. On Pandosy Street, you stumble uponPulp Fiction Coff ee House, which provides you with a crumbly blueberry “scrumpet”
and a creamy cappuccino to enjoy as you flip through covers of racy 1950s dime-store novels. Across the street is the winsome boutique Olive & Elle, where you pick up some French-style soaps and red plaid fl annel blankets as gi� s.
Outside, you meet up with a local who’s agreed to drive you around for the a� ernoon. You’re planning to visit a few of
Kelowna’s famous wineries, and you want to be able to taste as much as you like. The fi rst stop is Quails’ Gate, a homey oak-and-brick aff air with a roaring fi replace and a tasting room overlooking the vines in their ranks. A friendly attendant pours you some delicate riesling and a rich, spicy pinot noir. Another specialty, you learn, is the Quails’ Gate chenin blanc, which was served to President Obama on his first visit to Canada, in 2009. You order a glass with your lunch of crab cakes and parsnip soup in the winery’s restaurant.
Next up: Mission Hill Family Estate, a grand Mediterranean-inspired hilltop palazzo. With vines located in fi ve pockets all over the Okanagan Valley, Mission Hill can make anything from supremely light viogniers to heady bordeaux blends. You ask for a representative sample and then beeline it to the capacious courtyard to enjoy the view.
After returning to the Eldorado and indulging in a lengthy nap, you’re off to dinner at RauDZ, a restaurant that focuses on the bounty of the Okanagan, histori-cally the breadbasket of British Columbia. You settle on venison carpaccio with apples and walnuts, and a veggie-stacked cheeseburger the size of your head. A� er all that wine, you’re thinking you might try something diff erent to drink. Luckily, bartender Gerry Jobe has just the thing: the whiskey old-fashioned that won him the gold in a recent cocktail competition.
As he stands at your table fi lling a lan-tern with chocolate and tobacco smoke in preparation for mixing your cocktail, you marvel at the amount of time he’s spending on you. Come to think of it, you didn’t even make a reservation.
You wonder if the other kids really need to know that this particular playground exists. You take a sip of your cocktail. Let them have Whistler.
Brooklyn-based Hemispheres senior editor JACQUELINE DETWILER thinks New York City is like a giant playground that all the other kids have discovered.
BOARDING PASS From its many wineries, inviting shops and delicious eateries to its adventure-ready mountains and pristine lake, the town of Kelowna, British Columbia, epitomizes year-round appeal. United can take you nonstop from Los Angeles to Kelowna, or fl y you to Vancouver (a not-too-lengthy drive away) from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Denver and Chicago, plus seasonal service from New York/Newark and Washington, D.C. Before boarding, consider purchasing a day pass to relax in a spacious United Club; memberships are also available. For detailed schedule information or to book your fl ight, go to united.com.

IF THERE’S ONE THING to be sure of in today’s business world, it’s that nothing can be taken for granted. Thanks to the accelerating developments in technology over the last 20 years, the global business community has become a much smaller and much faster place. Flourishing in such an environment requires smart professionals to do whatever it takes to get on and to stay on the right track. It’s no longer good enough to just keep up—you need to stay ahead. The job marketplace is currently weighted heavily in the favor of employers and they know it, which puts you at a distinct disadvantage. And we’re not just referring to those looking for jobs. Even those with jobs are at a disadvantage. If you want to get ahead and stay ahead, rising stars must be prepared to keep learning. Bachelor’s degrees
are commonplace today and it may be necessary to pursue graduate degrees or other executive education to compete effectively. Did you know that almost 50 percent of college students today are over the age of 25? Compared to just 28 percent back in 1970, this is certainly an indicator of what professionals are doing to remain ahead of their competition. Continued learning is absolutely necessary if you expect to remain valuable and on the fast track at your company. At any level you should always be seeking improvement and this can come through continuing education as well as management training. Many companies will actually pay for this training but even if your company does not, it will be an investment worth making in yourself that will speak
volumes to your employer. This type of commitment will usually help in the areas of job security, pay raises and even promotions. It’s never been easier. Many schools even offer online learning options that make the whole thing quite simple. Other bricks and mortar programs may have multiple campuses or offer evening and weekend classes to accommodate the professionals. The following pages showcase a variety
of degree and executive education options. Regardless of your current situation, securing you future with lifelong education will reward you for years to come. It’s your future, now go get it! ■

Fleet Facts
p.s.® PREMIUM SERVICE: We’ve started the process of a nose-to-tail refurbishment of our p.s. fl eet to off er the international experience on routes serving JFK–LAX and JFK–SFO. Our fi rst reconfi gured aircraft began fl ying in January, and the reconfi guration of our p.s. fl eet is scheduled to be complete by late 2013. Upgrades include fl at-bed seats in United BusinessFirst® and personal on-demand entertainment throughout.
BOEING 767 FLEET UPGRADE: The 767 fl eet upgrade is nearing completion, with new features like fl at-bed seats in United BusinessFirst and personal on-demand entertainment throughout. United off ers more 180-degree fl at-bed seats than any other carrier in the world. By the second quarter of 2013, all fl ights operated on internationally confi gured 747s, 757s, 767s, 777s and 787s will off er fl at-bed seats.
In November 2012, United began scheduled domestic service on the brand-new 787 Dreamliner, and in January we started international service on the 787 between Los Angeles and Tokyo. We are excited to expand our 787 service to destinations in Europe, Asia and Africa in 2013.
The Dreamliner off ers a number of travel-enhancing features that will make your fl ight more enjoyable, including improved lighting, larger windows with electronic dimmers and more spacious overhead bins. Also, lower cabin altitude, enhanced
ventilation systems and higher humidity levels reduce the eff ects of jet lag on long-haul fl ights.
The 787’s innovative carbon composite structure makes the Dreamliner more fuel-effi cient and environmentally friendly to fl y. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, the 787’s design reduces noise during takeoff and landing. The 787’s improved operating economics enable us to launch service between cities previously not served by United, such as the Denver-to-Tokyo service that starts this spring.

AMERICA NEEDS ANATIONAL AIRLINE POLICY
It’s time for taxes on airfare to begin their descent. U.S. airlines and their customers last year paid $19 billion in federal taxes. For example, you may have paid $300 for your domestic round-trip fl ight with $61 of the ticket price going to Washington, marking a federal tax rate higher than alcohol and tobacco, “sin” products that are taxed to discourage their use. Our economy depends on air travel. Commercial aviation drives $1 trillion in economic activity and 10 million jobs. We need a National Airline Policy that reduces taxes on airfare, to help keep travel and shipping affordable and enable airlines to expand travel and service options. A National Airline Policy is good for passengers, good for businesses and shippers, good for communities and good for our economy. To learn more and sign the petition, please scan the QR code or visit NationalAirlinePolicy.com

Safety & Travel Assistance
INFORMATION
Travel assistance for delayed or canceled fl ights
Staying Fit IN-FLIGHT FLEXIBILITY
At United, our priority is safety and keeping an on-time schedule. On occa-sion, canceling or delaying a fl ight is the only option to ensure we maintain the highest safety standards.
Flight interruption? We will confi rm you on the next United fl ight with available seats. Kiosks located in the concourse will assist you with information and a boarding pass, and will also help you stand by for an earlier United fl ight if one is scheduled. If you want to travel standby and aren’t boarded, we will transfer your name to the next United fl ight to your destination until you are onboard.
What about my bag? Baggage is boarded on the next fl ight if space is available, which means your bags may arrive before you. If so, United will secure the bag until you claim it. See a baggage claim representative.
What if I have to stay overnight? If a fl ight is canceled to address a mechanical issue or a similar issue within our control, we will provide
you with a hotel and meal voucher. For uncontrollable events—such as weather—we may be able to help you locate a local hotel at a discounted rate; however, United does not cover hotel or meal expenses in this event. If we cannot retrieve your checked bag, overnight kits containing toiletries are available. Please see an agent.
What if the reason for my travel no longer exists? If as a result of the delay or cancellation you opt not to travel, call United reservations (1-800-UNITED-1) to learn about your options.
Help us help you stay informed. Sign up for Trip Alert, our messaging service that informs you if your fl ight is canceled or delayed, at united.com. At home? Go to united.com for information or to check in and print your boarding pass.
Your safety and satisfaction are important to us. We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

O� entimes in West Africa or sub-
Saharan Africa, which is the epicenter
of the bad-water epidemic, the munici-
palities are piping water right under
the street but li� le of it gets to people’s
homes because they don’t have taps.
Gary’s idea is that you give the people a
water credit in the form of a $100 loan,
and they connect to the pipes and have
a tap put in their home. And then hope-
fully they’ll come back for another loan
and put a latrine in their house.
HEMISPHERES: Do you think of water as a human right?
DAMON: Yes. It’s a necessity to survive,
yet we seem to take it for granted in
the West because it costs so li� le. But
when you go to a community where
they don’t have it—yeah, it’s obviously
a human right.
HEMISPHERES: Promised Land is not a long walk from the subject of water, given that there’s a fair amount of controversy over the environmental impacts of frack-ing. Where did the movie come from?
DAMON: It was John Krasinski’s idea.
He went to the writer Dave Eggers, who
he knew from Away We Go, and Dave,
who I’m a huge admirer of, came up with
the story. And then Dave got busy with
his book, A Hologram for the King, and
John and I decided to write the movie
ourselves. I was also going to direct, but …
HEMISPHERES: But?
DAMON: It was December and I was
fi nishing doing press on We Bought a Zoo. I had run late on another movie, and I had been away from my kids for a long,
long time. I looked at the schedule a� er
I got home and realized that I would have
to go into preproduction in a few weeks
for Promised Land and leave my kids yet
again. I couldn’t do it. So I called John and
I told him. He was pre� y angry, and he
had a right to be. He said, “You couldn’t
have told me this a month ago? We can’t
even get our agent on the phone, and
everyone is gone for the holidays.”
I just kept apologizing to him, even
though I knew it was the right thing
to do. I knew that directing the movie
half-distracted would be a disaster. It
wouldn’t serve the picture, so I walked
away from it. But I said, “I still want to
do the movie, I love our movie, and you
have to trust me. The script is good;
we’re going to get a director.” Luckily, the
next morning I emailed Gus Van Sant,
one of my all-time favorites, and he read
it right away and said yes right away. It
was a 12-hour hiccup, but a tough one.
HEMISPHERES: Gus directed Good Will Hunting, which turned out pretty well. And meanwhile your co-star in that movie, Ben Affl eck, has made a little fi lm ...
DAMON: Yeah, Argo is just amazing.
I’m so happy for him. And I’m not
surprised—I know be� er than anybody
how talented he is. I’ve known him for
30 years, and wrote a movie with him,
and spent a lot of time talking to him.
THE HEMI Q&A: MATT DAMON
It’s great to see how well received this
movie was. And deservedly so. It’s a
phenomenal movie.
HEMISPHERES: You received a career tribute the other night at the Gotham Awards. Is it really tribute time? How old are you?
DAMON: I’m 42. I completely agree.
I didn’t even know what to say to that.
I’m trying to get a li� le $18 million movie
out there, so I’m like, “Yeah, sure, I’ll go
to the Gotham Awards.” It’s still a li� le
weird. I thought, “Does this mean you’re
telling me I can’t work anymore? Are
you pu� ing me out to pasture?”
HEMISPHERES: You’re not ready for the pasture. We need you to save the world by making another Bourne movie.
DAMON: I’m tied to the director, Paul
Greengrass, and if Paul wants to do it,
then I will too.
HEMISPHERES: The poster for Elysium has you holding a gun so big it looks like a cannon. Did you have to work out to be able to hold that thing up?
DAMON: It’s not that bad. They’re
special-eff ects guns, so they’re not
super-heavy. But my character had a
shaved head and he was really built,
with ta� oos all over him, so going to the
gym three or four hours a day was a big
thing in ge� ing ready for that movie.
HEMISPHERES: What do your kids think of the haircut?
DAMON: My 2-year-old loves smacking
my head when it’s bald. It had grown
back a bit, but then I had two days of
reshoots and they said, “You can wear
a bald cap, but you’re going to be in the
makeup chair for an extra three hours in
the morning.” So I said no way, and cut
it all off again. I’m just happy it seems to
be growing back.

question facing the people back in Mexico is: What then?
“The monarch is very important to the economy here,” says the WWF’s Rendón, “but we need to establish programs and a strategy for year-round tourism and other kinds of regional development.”
You get the sense, though, that the area may have turned a corner, that people here
are determined to see this through, on their own terms and in their own ways.
The Cayetano brothers, for their part, would like to move beyond growing trees: They’re seeking funding to start a sawmill to produce packag-ing for the avocados, pineapples,
fl owers and other plants that fl our-ish all around them. “The population
is growing up here,” says Miguel. “If we don’t give our children more opportunities, they will return to abusing the forest.”
This is a real concern. People still speak anxiously about the gangs that ran the illegal logging operations, and fear that they’ll come back if gains aren’t made fast enough. But, again, there seems to be a sense of determination among locals to keep pressing forward. “If we stopped our patrols, the illegal loggers would imme-diately start again,” says Marciano Solis Sacarias, who works at the largest of the WWF-supported tree nurseries in San Juan Xoconusco, an indigenous community in the state of Mexico. “But now they know we are well organized.”
Sitting on stumps and planks, Solis and his co-workers are eating a lunch of beef grilled on a metal plate over a wood fi re, accompanied by fresh avocados, pep-pers and a pile of tortillas. On about four acres of sloping fi eld below stand nearly 800,000 young trees. Up to 50 locals, includ-ing women and children, work at this vivero during prime planting season. For them, the demise of the monarch would be unthink-able. “If it were not for the bu� erfl ies, we would not get support for this project,” says Solis’ brother, Fernando, hands in the pockets of his work-worn jeans. “We would have to migrate out of here.”

people to work with the government,” says Roberto Contreras Rodríguez, secretary of the ejido of El Rosario, home to the area’s largest and most visited bu� erfl y sanctu-ary. “They were skeptical. But now they see that the tourists are coming.”
The primary source of funding for many of these initiatives is the Monarch Bu� erfl y Conservation Fund, established in 2000 with a $5 million endowment from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, plus $1.5 million from government sources. From 2000 through 2012, about $2.6 million in interest has been distributed to commu-nities and private landowners around the monarch sanctuaries. Today, more than 18,000 people receive money directly or indirectly from the fund, the WWF says.
Given that there are 200,000 or so people living in the area around the butter fly reserves, that may not seem like a game-changing figure, but there’s more to the effort than improving people’s immedi-ate situations. In large part, the idea is to establish new attitudes and patterns of behavior among locals, and in this regard the project is showing great promise. For example, Javier Martínez Colín, who once helped his father cut down trees on the site of the Sierra Chincua reserve, now works beside his own sons to preserve the forest.
Not that the monarch is in the clear yet—a combination of climate change, pesticides and the destruction of its milkweed food source by North American farmers is making the species’ annual journey south extremely diffi cult. In the winter of 2005, enough monarchs arrived in Mexico to fi ll about 14 acres of forest; just
six years later, the population needed only about half as much space.
The fact remains, though, that if the butter flies make it back to Mexico, they face much better prospects for survival. The WWF reports that illegal logging in and around the Monarch Bu� erfl y Biosphere Reserve is at its lowest point since the reserve was established in 2000—so low, in fact, as to be barely detectable. “A� er 12 years,” says Omar Vidal, director of WWF-Mexico, “we now have a story of success.”
EVERY MARCH, a� er fi ve months hibernating and then mating in Mexico’s sanctuaries, the mon-

J. & H. Selbach Riesling Kabinett 2011 Germany | Great German Riesling is not sweet but very fruity. Seemingly sweet when first tasted, within a few minutes, Selbach seems dry and lemony. This dry wine would be an excellent pairing against the sweetness of the salmon and fresh berries.

Chef’s TipAny combination of berries may be used in
this salad. If berries are not in season, use
thinly sliced black plums or nectarines. Fresh
fruit in green salads provide sweetness that
balances the acidity of the dressing.
