28 | NAPLES ZOO

Clouded leopards have the distinction of having the longest
canines for their body size of any cat - about the same length as
felines many times their size. But these toothy wonders pose no
threat to people. On the other hand, our taste in sweets – along
with about half our packaged goods – does pose a threat to these
elegant cats. Luckily, there’s an app for that.

34 | CUBA

People here in the USA say they want to go to Cuba before it changes
because of the American impact on tourism. To that, I would say you
are eight years too late. In 2008 Fidel signed over the presidency to his
brother Raul Castro. Raul started immediately to ease up the restrictions
of building permits and tourist restrictions. I last visited Cuba in 2007
and Havana was a city of broken windows and almost every building
in need of paint. During my recent visit over Thanksgiving 2016, the
transition was colossal from new construction to the expansion of
restaurants.

40 | AVOW KIDS

Since 1983, Avow has cared for and supported children and
families affected by serious and terminal illness, grief and loss. With
philanthropic assistance from the community, Avow has increased
its children’s medical and bereavement programs to help even more
families through hospice, palliative care and grief support services.
