52 | Old Naples News February 2024 MASTERING FINANCIAL WELLNESS THE IMPACT OF UNITED WAY’S VITA PROGRAM ON COLLIER COUNTY As the winter sun casts its golden glow over this tropical paradise we call home, a hidden challenge lurks beneath the surface—financial uncertainty for many in our community. However, in response to this challenge, the United Way of Collier and the Keys have created a beacon of hope: the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Winter not only brings us a pleasant change in weather but also marks the beginning of tax season. Navigating the intricacies of taxes is a challenge that transcends age and circumstance. The VITA program, established by the IRS in 1969, was developed to assist low-income taxpayers with their tax returns. Since its inception, VITA has evolved and expanded, becoming a vital component of community-based efforts to promote financial literacy and assist those in need – which happens to also be a core component of United Way of Collier and the Key’s mission. VITA volunteers provide free tax preparation services to individuals and families with a modest income, ensuring they not only maneuver through the complexities of the tax system but also maximize their returns. In 2023, United Way of Collier and the Keys’ VITA volunteers assisted 346 families, saving them more than $100,000 in taxpayer preparation fees and generating almost $250,000 in refunds. But the program isn’t merely about crunching numbers; it’s about empowering our community to thrive financially. Consider a retiree, a neighbor, or perhaps even yourself, finding reassurance in the midst of tax uncertainty. VITA volunteers step in to offer not just financial guidance but a lifeline to stability, alleviating financial stress and injecting funds back into the pockets of our neighbors living paycheck to paycheck. Participants gain valuable insights into managing their finances, making informed decisions, and planning for a secure future. The ripple effect of financial stability extends far beyond a tax return. When individuals and families thrive financially with the support of initiatives like VITA, the positive effects extend beyond households, fostering a resilient economic ecosystem that strengthens the entire community. In the ever-changing landscape of our global economy, programs like VITA have become indispensable. They serve as a safety net for individuals facing unexpected financial hardships, a light guiding them through uncertain times. VITA isn’t merely a tax assistance program; it’s a community builder. Supporting and advocating for VITA means contributing to a community where everyone, regardless of age or circumstance, has the opportunity to thrive. The VITA program stands as a testament to our commitment to building a community where financial stability is not a privilege but a shared reality. Wondering how you can contribute to this crucial community initiative? The United Way is always recruiting VITA volunteers to serve as tax preparers, greeters, and interpreters – no prior experience is necessary! You can also support by simply spreading the word about VITA among friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we will forge a legacy of positive change that will resonate for years to come. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program isn’t just a seasonal service; it’s a year-round commitment to building a community where financial well-being is a shared journey, not an isolated destination.

KINDLEE AND PACE COMMEMORATE FORMER SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT KindLee and the Pace Center for Girls joined forces on Tuesday, December 19, to honor the cherished memory of Terriana Paulk, a remarkable young woman who triumphed over personal and academic challenges. Thirty to forty young ladies created personal artistic and video messages of remembrance and kindness towards Terriana, a shining example in our community and a previous recipient of KindLee’s scholarship, being the first-ever recipient of the organization’s benevolence. KindLee President and Pace Board Member Kelly L. Fayer addressed the children, emphasizing the importance of spreading kindness in remembering Terriana. Fayer stated, “Terriana showed us what it was to be strong and kind, proving that one can be both and a bright light for people.” She continued, “Help her parents. This will be their first holiday without Terriana, and we just want to show our support.” The video and written messages from the girls were tender and heartwarming. One card, adorned with glitter and hearts, read, “Your daughter was an amazing person. She will always be with you.” Another, featuring a drawing of an angel, expressed, “She had such a beautiful heart.” A video message, filled with sincere and heartfelt recollections, was created for Terriana’s parents, some accompanied by tears. The collective message was clear: “She was an amazing friend.” “She had a beautiful smile.” “We will always have her in our hearts and remember her.” “We love you.” The girls expressed that the experience felt good, and they were glad to be part of an initiative promoting kindness in the community. Terriana’s impactful journey led her to the PACE Center for Girls in 2020, where she sought support following a challenging period of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. After enduring three months alone in the hospital and receiving a pacemaker at eight years old due to a lifelong heart condition, Terriana’s resilience was truly inspiring. Tragically, just weeks after receiving the scholarship in her honor, she passed away suddenly at the age of 18 due to cardiac arrest. For over thirty-five years, the Pace Center for Girls has dedicated itself to transforming the lives of young women. Established in 1985 by Vicki Burke, the first Pace Center opened its doors in Jacksonville, Florida, with a vision rooted in the understanding that girls often entered the juvenile justice system as a response to delinquent behavior triggered by trauma. Today, Pace annually serves over 3,000 girls across 23 locations in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. With a successful evidence-based model focusing on the development of critical life, health, and academic skills, Pace has positively altered the life trajectory of more than 40,000 girls and is acknowledged as a national advocate for those in need. KindLee, an organization devoted to acts of kindness in Lee County, Florida, and beyond, invites individuals to share acts of kindness or explore opportunities to contribute by visiting kindlee.org. The Law Offices of Kelly L. Fayer, P.A., specializing in estate planning with care, proudly supports initiatives with kindness and community impact. Mindful of the uniqueness of each situation, they can be relied upon for estate planning needs. For more information, please visit fayerlaw.net or call 239.415.3434.

60 | Old Naples News February 2024 KAREN T. BARTLETT Travel Editor WILD HORSES, WISTERIA, AND ROMANCE GEORGIA ISLANDS ON MY MIND There’s something transcendent about the flavors and fragrances that infuse the coastal South, where a short boat ride or bridge across vast creeks and marshlands leads to lyrical barrier islands with rolling sand dunes fringed with sea oats, and where tiny fiddler crabs scurry about their business at low tide in the saltwater flats. On Georgia’s Golden Isles, mottled sunlight filtering through ancient live oak canopies casts moving shadows, and at dusk, spooky apparitions of Spanish moss seem to reach down from the branches with long, ghostly arms. Here, 19th century millionaires’ cottages-turned-inns feature sitting rooms and porches (not a single lanai, bless their hearts). Homemade biscuits and gravy, a lowcountry boil or fish fry, and chefcurated picnic lunches are raisons d’etre. Early spring is the perfect time to visit the Golden Isles. Morning and evening air still carries a perfect chill, giving way to warm days before summer humidity sets in. Fragrant purple blossoms of wisteria are awakening on their gnarled brown vines, winter’s final display of camellias remain just long enough to greet the saucer-size azaleas just unfolding into bloom. For early risers, there’s the spectacle of morning mists rising over the marsh. Photo(s) by Karen T. Bartlett
February 2024 Old Naples News | 61 Because it’s the month of romance, may I present two of my favorite romantic inns among Georgia’s Golden Isles. ON JEKYLL ISLAND, architecturally preserved and sensuously updated Gilded Age mansions— the former Newport-style “cottages” of Vanderbilts, Pulitzers, Rockefellers, and Cranes —were reimagined as luxury-to-the-max inns. Sixty-three stunning holes of golf dating back to 1898 lure golfers from around the world on three courses that meander through deep forests, marshes and waterways. It was here, while kitchen staffs were perhaps collecting wild blackberries for homemade pies and shrimpers delivering bushels of the famed Wild Georgia Shrimp direct from the trawlers, that some of America’s most powerful financiers gathered in secret to create the Federal Reserve. In its day, Jekyll Island Club was called the richest, most exclusive, most inaccessible club in the world. Today, guests still breakfast lavishly like those millionaires in the Grand Dining Room, and savor the same sunset views —now with dining and dancing to live music— on the Jekyll Creek pier. The bar in the Club’s lounge is a replica from The Legend of Bagger Vance, which was filmed at the resort. For the romantically inclined, the Italian Renaissance palace-style Crane Cottage is the most opulent of Jekyll’s Millionaire’s Row mansions. Its ohso-genteel Southern guest rooms and suites range from 269 to 500 square feet. ON CUMBERLAND ISLAND, wild marsh tackys descended from the horses of 17th century Spanish invaders still roam free across the tall dunes, and graze beneath the tabby ruins of the storied Dungeness mansion (think LightHorse Harry Lee, father of Robert E. Lee). A meandering hard-packed road canopied by centuries-old, wind-twisted live oak trees seems to disappear into another dimension. Following over half a century of superhuman preservation efforts, the island is protected as the Cumberland Island National Seashore: no restaurants, no shops; only some convenient amenities like bike rentals and nature tours. The only commercial entity is Greyfield Inn, a former Carnegie family estate and now one of the most romantic inns in America. Casual during the day, its evening meals are announced with the ring of the dinner bell and jackets are still suggested for gentlemen. With only A shrimp trawler navigates a saltwater creek Main Road, Cumberland Island. No public-use motorized vehicles are allowed. Before it was salvaged, the ruins of Dungeness were nearly swallowed up by a century of overgrowth. TravelGeorgia Islands on My Mind
62 | Old Naples News February 2024 the most tasteful modern refinements and the addition of haute southern coastal cuisine, the mansion blends seamlessly into the raw island ambience, especially when a few wild horses stop by for a graze beneath the oaks. Honey comes from Greyfield’s bees; herbs, produce and cut flowers from the inn’s garden. There’s islandgrown citrus, and oysters from the pristine tidal creeks. ROMANCE, ANYONE? With its ultrapampering staff and commitment to privacy, Greyfield Inn has hosted many a famous engagement and honeymoon. (No, of course they’re not dropping names). There also are complimentary private shark tooth hunting, fishing, kayaking, birdwatching and history tours. For day visitors as well as Inn guests, there are networks of crushed-shell trails, and the miles of isolated beaches are a shell-seeker’s dream. National Park Service’s ranger-led and selfguided tours, plus private walking tours, the rugged Lands and Legacies motorized tour, and other experiences are available with reservations. You may not be in love on arrival, but please tell me if you’re not head over heels in love with my Georgia Sea Islands when you leave. GETTING THERE Both islands are between six and seven hours from Naples. Advance reservations are a must for both inns and the Cumberland Island Ferry. • Access to Jekyll Island is via the soaring Sidney Lanier Bridge with breathtaking views over the Brunswick River. • Access to Greyfield Inn is via a 45-minute private ferry ride aboard the Lucy R. Ferguson from historic downtown Amelia Island (worth exploring before or after Cumberland). Access to the island for day trips is aboard Cumberland Queen, the National Park Service ferry from St. Mary’s, Georgia.

64 | Old Naples News February 2024 BOOK REVIEW reviewed by anna karras assie Andrews would be the first to admit that she doesn’t have much of a life. In her thirties, she works in a bookstore, doesn’t have many friends, and no family. But when the kind old gentleman, Mr. Webber, dies reading The Count of Monte Cristo right in the bookstore, she feels a pang of grief that reminds her of her grandfather, the one who raised her. Next to Mr. Webber’s body is a nondescript little book. Cassie picks it up to examine it and finds an inscription on the front page which leaves the little volume to her. It is filled with drawings and doodles, most of the written text unintelligible, save for an inscription that reads, “The Book of Doors. Hold it in your hand and any door is every door.” Puzzled, she keeps it and takes it home. Her roommate and only friend in New York City, Izzy, is waiting. As Cassie tells her about her day and poor Mr. Webber, she keeps the book close by. It was so unremarkable that Cassie forgets about it and daydreams about a bakery she visited in Venice during the year she spent traveling. With that image in her head, she picks up The Book of Doors and goes to her room. But behind the door is not her bedroom but the exact scene in Venice she had just pictured. And it isn’t just a scene—Cassie realizes she can step through the door into the actual Venice. Cassie and Izzy spend a wild night learning what the book can do. It opens doors all over the world. They explore first with hesitancy and a bit of trepidation, but as the night wears on, they find the joy of stepping into new worlds blocks or continents away. What they don’t realize is that they are spotted. Someone out there sees them disappear through a door and knows what is happening, and that someone has special books of his own: The Book of Luck and the Book of Shadows to name two. Drummond Fox knows much more as well. He knows there are many more books like The Book of Doors out there and powerful people in the world would pay big money or even kill to get their hands on one. Drummond sets out to find Cassie and Izzy, and with his Book of Luck, he does. But what are Drummond Fox’s intentions? Who is the shadowy figure known only as “the woman” who will gleefully murder for possession of all the books? And where can Izzy and Cassie hide where they will be safe? Gareth Brown has constructed a whirlwind of a story, filled with action, adventure, and fantasy. Fans of Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus or Matt Haig’s Midnight Library will be gripped by the roller-coaster plot and the fantastical elements. Like The Book of Joy, this one was a joy to hold. ∞ AUTHOR'S PROFILE Gareth Brown has been writing since he was a child. He has worked in the UK Civil Service and the NHS while writing in his spare time. The Book of Doors, his debut novel, will be published simultaneously in the UK and the US this month. He lives near Edinburgh, Scotland with his wife. C THE BOOK OF DOORS by Gareth Brown Publisher: William Morrow 416 Pages $30 US | Released 2.13.24
