from the editor 

It’s 2017!!! 

January - a new year, and like most folks I begin January 

with a “To Do” list. I prefer not to say resolutions...On my 

list (of only 10 things) I always include eat healthier, exercise 

more, take better care of my skin, etc. Thankfully Delray 

Beach is a “One Stop Shop” for all of these. 

Inside this issue of Atlantic Ave Magazine we get to know our 

Fire Chief Neal deJesus. He began his impressive fire fighting 

career at the age of 18 and has served many communities in 

every rank available. With 34 years of experience we are lucky 

to have him. Read more about him and his dedication in our 

City Person feature. 

In need for a quick pick-me-up? Stop by Venetian Nail Spa in 

the Delray Beach Markey Place and get a Mani-Pedi that will 

help you forget your troubles! They service men and women 

and offer you a beverage while you get pampered, ahhh... 

Hungry? Stop by Off the Ave and indulge in one of their many 

freshly made dishes. From handmade Angus burgers to authentic 

Pittsburgh pierogis, and their selection of craft beers that 

change seasonally, you will not leave hungry! And make sure 

you leave room for dessert. 

Here’s to a happy and healthy 2017! 

Cheers!

Jacksonville University alumnus where I studied dance kinesiology 

and Spanish education. I graduated Cum Laude with honors from 

Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, FL with a Doctorate of Chiropractic 

degree. I was awarded the Virgil V. Strang Philosophy Award for 

accomplishments in the philosophical principles of chiropractic. I have a 

great passion for neurological rehabilitation and I am currently attending 

the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies to pursue a Diplomate in Neurology 

through the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. I am seeking 

to become one of the less than one thousand Board Certified Chiropractic 

Neurologists in the world. On my off time you may find me surfing the

delray under $50 

By Darien Arden 

{ 

Now that Delray Beach is a rising star in the art, culture and social 

scene, it might seem a little difficult to find affordable activities, shops 

or restaurants. I am here to prove you wrong. Delray Beach offers a mix 

of high-end boutiques with laid-back restaurants, and events for the 

whole family or nightclubs for night owls. Here is what you can do in 

Delray Beach in January for $50 or less. 

Creativity feeds the soul and there’s 

a pretty good chance that your 

daily habits don’t do a lot to get 

the juices flowing. The New Year is a 

great time to regroup and focus on more 

of what makes you happy, and if that includes 

thinking outside the box, you’re in 

luck. January is International Creativity 

Month and you’re invited to attend the 

28th Annual Downtown Delray Beach 

Festival of the Arts. Held January 21 and 

22, this art festival is a great way to enjoy 

the outdoors, get together with friends, 

and either pick up a few pieces for your 

home or soak up the artistic aura of the 

vendors for your own creative pleasure. 

This juried art festival of hand-crafted 

artwork includes glass, photography, 

painting, mixed media, fiber, jewelry and 

much more from hundreds of vendors. 

As if it could get any better, the festival 

is held from Federal Highway to A1A, so 

enjoy strolling along the palm-tree lined 

Avenue and taking some well needed pitstops 

in the restaurants for a cool cocktail. 

The Festival of the Arts is held 10 

a.m. to 5 p.m. both days so that leaves you 

plenty of green for filling up the creativity 

bank. Visit www.artfestival.com or call 

(561) 746-6615 for more information. 

It’s the beginning of the year, which 

means it’s the perfect time to create 

your plan of attack for 2017. Whatever 

you’re devising, make sure it includes 

a nice balance between work and play, 

and future goals and present enjoyment. 

January is Get a Balanced Life Month so 

26 January 2017 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

gather the friends because you’ve 

got a painting party to get 

to. Vino Van Gogh offers 

guests a relaxed, social, 

group setting 

in which to receive 

step-by-step directions 

for painting 

a unique art 

piece. You literally 

don’t have to 

worry about anything 

because you 

will be provided a 

canvas, brushes, paints, 

easels and an apron, and 

are guaranteed to leave the class 

with a one-of-a-kind piece of art (or at 

least something with which to decorate 

your garage) and the satisfaction of having 

a really fun time with the pals. You 

are welcome to bring your own snacks 

and wine, or you can purchase champagne, 

wine and beer, so all signs point 

to a fabulously balanced night out. Class 

prices range from $25-$40 depending on 

the night and the painting, so put on your 

beret because you have a masterpiece to 

create. Vino Van Gogh is located at 153 

N.E. Fourth Ave. Visit www.vinovangoghfl.com 

or call (561) 272-5272 for more 

information. 

Loving yourself comes in a myriad 

of actions, thoughts and beliefs, but 

it all boils down to appreciating 

yourself and knowing you’re worth it. Especially 

now with the pressure to make 

this next year the best year, pay attention 

to your mind and body. One way to do 

that is to love the skin you’re in, and, also 

important, to love how you adorn it. January 

is Self-Love Month and is also home 

to the Delray Beach Fashion Week, where 

you’ll have a chance to enjoy a week of 

fashion, style and sophistication. Held 

January 25 through 29, there are different 

events each day that focus on a different 

part of fashion. January 25 is “An 

Evening Downtown” kick-off event at The 

Colony Hotel featuring eveningwear and 

a hair showcase by downtown boutiques 

and hair salons. January 26 features a 

“Delray on the Runway” designer show 

and a “Tropical Paradise” on January 27 

that features a resort-wear fashion show

and luncheon, with the famous Stiletto Race that same evening. 

Enjoy “Beachside Glamour: The Sand and Surf Show,” 

which is the final fashion show event and features swimwear 

and beachwear, and the “Fashion Week Boutique: 

Shopping Event” on January 29 that features pop-up boutiques 

selling the clothing and accessories from the week. 

It’ll be a one-stop shop for decorating the temple that is 

your body, and no mall involved. Events are held up and

Peace out, coffee, there’s a better drink in town. Hot 

or cold, tea is such a go-to drink if you need to mellow 

out, get a pick-me-up, and everything in between. 

January 12 is National Hot Tea Day so count your 

lucky stars because you have a tea gem right in your back 

yard. Yaxche Tearoom is the golden ticket of tea shops because 

it features more than 100 different types of teas from 

all over the world, and the super friendly tea-istas are more 

than willing to let you smell your way to your perfect tea 

blend. To top it off, they make all of their teas with GOOD- 

WATER, which they claim is the purest, cleanest water on 

Earth. (Hey, if it’s good enough for the President, it’s good 

enough for me.) You’re invited to take a seat in their eclectic 

space, enjoy your tea and a bite to eat, and revel in all 

that is good in the world. Enjoy a cup of Soul Mate, Cosmic 

Coconut, Dream Catcher or Feelin’ Fine, among others, 

feel the zen and repeat. Yaxche Tearoom is located at 14 S. 

Swinton Ave. Visit www.yaxchetearoom.com or call (561) 

865-7618 for more information and special events. 

Yes, it’s the New Year. Yes, we all said we were going to 

get super fit, tan and attractive this year. ..or maybe 

that was just me. Regardless, feeling great doesn’t 

mean that we have to eat gluten-free cardboard until we’re 

skeletors. January 1 is the start of National Lose Weight/ 

Feel Great Week and is a great time to kick-start our goals 

for 2017. If you don’t feel like cooking for yourself the 

whole week (and still want a bit of fun), head to Gary Rack’s 

Farmhouse Kitchen downtown and indulge in their waistfriendly 

menu. They focus on a farm-fresh lifestyle, do not 

cook with butters, creams or use excess fat, and a significant 

portion of their menus items are either gluten free, vegan or 

vegetarian. Some of their signature items include a crushed 

avocado toast with ricotta and kale pesto for $9, or a fried 

green tomato with green beans, goat cheese and roasted tomato 

for $11. They also offer salads made with farm-fresh 

organic greens hand-picked from their trusted purveyors, 

including the roots and fruits salad and kale yeah salad 

for $14 each. If you want something beefier, enjoy the bison 

meatloaf with cheddar cauliflower mash, green beans 

and shiitake gravy for $21 or the spaghetti squash casserole 

(which is off-the-charts good) with artichoke, zucchini, 

arugula, mozzarella and Pomodoro for $18. Whatever your 

healthy pleasure, you are guaranteed to lose weight and feel 

great after your meal, and that’s something we can all celebrate. 

Gary Rack’s Farmhouse Kitchen is located at 204 E. 

Atlantic Ave. Visit www.farmhousekitchenboca.com or call

Gotta Know 

Howard Alan Events Celebrates Three Decades of Award- 

Winning Art Festivals in Palm Beach County this January 

Delray Beach Festival of the Arts 

Season has arrived in Palm Beach 

County, and for thousands of residents 

and visitors that means the return 

of two of the top art festivals in the 

state. This year, Boca Fest is marking 

30 years back in its original location 

outside the Town Center Mall January 

14 – 15, 10am to 5pm, and Downtown 

Delray Beach Festival of the Arts celebrates 

28 years with more than 250 

world-class art exhibitors January 

21 – 22, 10am to 5pm. The professionally 

vetted, juried art festivals 

are produced by Howard Alan Events 

(HAE), which has been presenting 

award-winning art and craft events 

and helping drive economic growth 

for more than three decades. 

Featuring high-end sculptures, 

spectacular paintings, one-of-a-kind 

jewels, photography, ceramics and 

more, Boca Fest has remained one 

of the most popular art events of the 

year, with more than 175 national 

artists in attendance. The Downtown 

Delray Beach Festival of the Arts sees 

more than 250 artists from more than 

30 states, as well as other countries 

and is ranked as one of the top art 

fairs in the United States, with visitors 

planning vacations around the 

popular event. 

While the economic impact reveals 

the longstanding appeal of the venerable 

Howard Alan Events’ Art Festivals 

to area businesses and municipalities, 

the fans of the Festivals cite the free 

admission, free parking and the highquality 

and diversity of the art itself 

as the reasons for their lasting appeal. 

Boca Fest is located at 6000 Glades 

Road, behind Town Center Mall. The 

Downtown Delray Beach Festival of 

the Arts is located on East Atlantic 

Avenue in Downtown Delray Beach 

from US1 to the Ocean. For more 

information on these, or the nearly 

80 other professional Art and Craft 

shows visit www.artfestival.com or 

call 561-746-6615.

for neuro-diverse youth with 

special needs like Autism, Dyslexia 

and other learning disorders.

Gotta See 

By skip sheffield 

January 6 

“Hidden Figures” is an inspiring way 

to start the New Year. It is the true story 

of three brainiac women mathematicians 

who enabled the breakthrough to 

get American astronaut John Glenn (Glen 

Powell) into space in 1961. The catch was, 

these women (Taraji P. Henson as Katherine 

Johnson, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy 

Vaughn and Janelle Monae as Mary Jackson) 

were African-American, working in 

the strictly segregated State of Virginia. 

Kevin Costner plays their boss Al Harrison, 

who saw beyond his own prejudices. 

Jim Parsons plays his underling Paul Stafford, 

who learned a lesson about tolerance. 

Ted Melfi (“St. Vincent”) directs. 

On the other side of the coin we have 

“Underworld: Blood Wars.” Kate Beckinsale 

returns slumming as vampire-fighter 

Selene. Theo James is David, Charles 

Dance is Thomas, and the director is Anna 

Foerster. Evidently this is her debut effort. 


“Patriot’s Day” is another thriller 

to wake you up in the dead of winter. 

It’s based on the true story of the 2013 

Kate Beckinsale 

“Underworld: 

Blood Wars” 

bombing that killed three people and 

injured 264, prompting a search for 

the murderous Tsarnaev brothers. The 

A-list cast includes Mark Wahlberg, 

J.K. Simmons, John Goodman, Michelle 

Monaghan, Kevin Bacon and Alex Wolff 

as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Peter Berg (“Deep 

Water Horizon”) directs. 

“Live by Night” is set in the Roaring 

Twenties, before Prohibition pulled the 

plug on all the festivities. Ben Affleck 

co-wrote and directs this tall tale about 

Joe Coughlin (Affleck), son of a Boston 

Police Superintendent who went outlaw 

and eventually ended up in Tampa after 

he steals money and the girl of a Boston 

mobster. The story is based on a novel by 

Dennis Lehane. Sienna Miller, Zoe Soledana, 

Elle Fanning, Chris Messina and 

Chris Cooper co-star. 

“Monster Trucks” describes it all. High 

school senior Tripp (Lucas Till) is a high 

school senior who wants to break out of 

his small town. He builds a monster truck 

from bits and pieces of other vehicles. 

Then an accident at an oil-drilling site unleashes 

a strange subterranean beast with 

a taste for speed. This CGI and live action 

film co-stars Rob Lowe, Thomas Lennon, 

Jane Levy and Barry Pepper Chris Wedge 

(the three “Ice Age” movies) directs. 

“Bye-Bye Man” has all the earmarks 

of a low-budget horror thriller. Three college 

students encounter the man of the 

title, and he gets into their heads, literally. 

The only name cast member is Carrie- 

Anne Moss as Detective Shaw. The director 

is Stacy Title, whose previous title was 

“Snoop Dogg’s Hood of Horror” in 2006. 

“Sleepless” is not a remake of 

“Sleepless in Seattle.” No, it’s a 

remake of the French film 

“Nuit Blanche” (White 

Night). Jamie Foxx stars 

as Las Vegas undercover 

cop Vincent Downs. His 

teenage son is kidnapped by 

casino bad guys, and the chase 

is on. Supporting players are 

Jennifer Bryant, Dermot Mulroney, 

Michelle Monaghan, Gabrielle Union, 

T.I. and the ever-popular Scoot McNairy. 

Baron bo Odar (“The Silence”) directs. 


We didn’t know he had gone away. Vin 

Diesel reprises his title role of “XXX: The 

Return of Xander Cage,” and not a moment 

too soon. Some deadly alpha warrior 

has unleashed a weapon known as Pandora’s 

Box. It’s up to Xander and his superhero 

friends to once again save the world. 

They include Samuel L. Jackson, Tony Jaa, 

Jet Li, Nina Dobrev and Deepika Padukone. 

D.J. Caruso (“Disturbia”) directs. 

So who was behind the transition of 

a small Southern California hamburger 

chain into a multi-billion-dollar international 

corporation? That would be “The 

Founder” Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), a 

salesman from Illinois who recognized 

the innovation of the McDonald brothers 

operation, and bought them out. Laura 

Dern plays Ethel, the first Mrs. Kroc. John 

Lee Hancock (“Saving Mr. Banks”) directs. 

Will M. Night Shyamalan redeem himself 

with “Split?” Good question. James 

McAvoy stars as a man with 23 separate 

personalities. Betty Buckley is his trusted 

shrink, Dr. Fletcher. Anya Taylor-Joy and 

Jessica Smith also star. 

We can only hope. “Resident Evil: The 

Final Retribution” claims to be the final 

episode in the series begun by director 

Paul W.S. Anderson in 2002. Once again 

Alice (Milla Jovovich) must return to The 

Hive in Raccoon City where the Umbrella 

Corporation is preparing a final strike 

against the only survivors of the Apocalypse. 

Ali Larter, Shawn Roberts and Ruby 

Rose co-star in this movie based on the 

popular video game. 

“Bastards” is the story of fraternal 

twins Peter and Kyle Reynolds (Ed Helms 

and Owen Wilson), whose weird mother 

(Glenn Close) has brought them up believing 

their father died when they were 

young. When they learn that was a lie, 

they go off in search of their long-lost 

dad, and the fun begins. J.K. Simmons, Ed 

Helms, Ryan Cartwright, Harry Shearer 

and Ving Rhames fill out the cast. 

“Gold” sounds pretty straight forward. 

Two desperate guys want to find gold in 

the remote jungles of Indonesia. Those 

guys are failing businessman Kenny Wells 

(Matthew McConaughey) and a geologist 

played by Edgar Ramirez. Supporting 

players are Bryce Dallas Howard, Bruce 

Greenwood and Corey Stoll. Stephen 

Gaghan (“Syriana”) directs.

Rebirth: A Fable of 

Love, Forgiveness, and 

FOLLOWing Your Heart 

by Kamal Ravikant 

Released January 3, 2017 

“Rebirth,” an inspiring 

novel about 

the magic that happens 

when you learn 

to follow your heart. 

After the death 

of his estranged father, 

Amit takes his 

parent’s ashes to 

the Ganges to fulfill 

a deathbed promise. Instead of returning 

home, he wanders, his pain and grief 

leaving him confused about his future. 

Almost broke, unsure about his direction 

in life, and running from memories, he is 

led by fate to the Camino de Santiago, an 

ancient 550-mile pilgrimage route across 

northern Spain. 

Amit meets a variety of travelers on his 

journey. Some are lost and searching for 

answers. Others are doing their best to 

leave the past behind. And there are a few 

who walk to celebrate life. All have stories 

and lessons to share. 

Once a reluctant pilgrim, Amit realizes 

he cannot stop until he completes 

the journey. As a traveler tells him, “Once 

you start walking the Camino, the Camino 

becomes a part of you.” With each step 

Amit is challenged to confront his fear of 

following in the footsteps of his father, the 

loss of a woman he may love after all, and 

the reality of an uncertain future. 

His month-long pilgrimage forces Amit 

to face life’s big questions, and causes him 

to grow and embrace a new sense of purpose 

and being. 

Based on the author’s experience of 

walking the legendary Camino de Santiago, 

and told in the tradition of Paulo Coelho 

and Mitch Albom, “Rebirth” is a beautiful 

fable about forgiveness, synchronicity, 

and the unexpected adventures that reveal 

who we are. 

It Happened in Scotland 

By Patience Griffin 


Christmas in the sleepy Scottish fishing 

village of Gandiegow 

this year is a time for 

quilting, patching up 

broken hearts, and 

rekindling an old 

flame... 

After pulling herself 

out of a threeyear 

fog of grief 

over the loss of her 

husband, Joe, Rachel is bringing their fiveyear-old 

daughter to see his hometown of 

Gandiegow and visit with his grandfather. 

But Rachel wasn’t planning on running 

into Joe’s cousin, the man who made her 

have second thoughts at the altar... 

Brodie has come home to help his 

grandfather’s fishing business, but he’d 

prefer not to see Rachel. Although she 

did break his heart six years ago, the grip 

she has on him hasn’t faltered. If they can 

stop butting heads long enough and learn 

to overcome the past, they may find new 

love in the new year...

London, 1887. 

Victorian adventuress and

Club, a ladies-only establishment for daring 

and intrepid women. There she meets 

the mysterious Lady Sundridge, who begs 

her to take on an impossible task—saving 

society art patron Miles Ramsforth from 

execution. Accused of the brutal murder 

of his artist mistress Artemisia, Ramsforth 

will face the hangman’s noose in a 

week’s time if Veronica cannot find the 

real killer. 

But Lady Sundridge is not all that she 

seems, and unmasking her true identity is 

only the first of the many secrets Veronica 

must uncover. Together with her natural 

historian colleague Stoker, Veronica races 

against time to find the true murderer—a 

ruthless villain who not only took Artemisia’s 

life in cold blood but is happy to 

see Ramsforth hang for the crime. From a 

Bohemian artists’ colony to a royal palace 

to a subterranean grotto with a decadent 

history, the investigation proves to be a 

very perilous undertaking indeed....

brother arrested for the 

grisly murders of three beautiful young 

women. 

Never... 

accept a reassignment to the middle 

of nowhere “for your own good.” Harry’s 

been sent to a makeshift town in a desolate 

landscape-a world full of easy money, 

plenty of illegal ways to spend it, and a 

ragtag collection of transient characters 

who thrive on the fringes of society. A 

place where little grows, but evil flourishes. 

Never... 

trust anyone. Looking into a seemingly 

simple missing persons case, Harry’s 

been assigned to a new “partner.” But is 

he actually meant to be a watchdog? Still 

reeling from the accusations against her 

brother, Harry can’t even trust her own 

instincts, which she’s never doubted...until 

now. 

Never... 

go anywhere without leaving a trace. 

Far from the world she knows and desperate 

to clear her brother’s name, Harry 

has to mine the dark secrets of her 

strange new home for answers to a deepening 

mystery-before she vanishes in a 

place where no one would ever think to 

look for her. 

“Never Never” is an edge-of-your-seat 

thrill ride with enough intrigue and suspense 

to keep you guessing until the final 

page. You’ll never be able to put it down.

Dear Friend, 

“Before You Give Up, Do This…” 

Some people come to my office and tell me 

they’ve “tried everything.” They come to me 

ready to give up. 

That’s right, four out of five people who show 

up in my office have taken “every” test, wound 

up with huge medical bills, and are still no 

better off. Often, they’ve been subjected to 

medications that have only served to temporarily 

mask symptoms. But, that’s not what 

most people are looking for. 

Health (or the lack of it) very often has simple 

causes, and very reasonable corrections. 

That’s what I’m going to tell you about. But, 

before I tell you more, let me tell you something 

about me. 

Here’s my story… 

And you’ll be surprised how simple it is… 

“At the time, I’m an active, happy ten year 

old, and life is good. But then, it happens… I 

develop a painful type of headache known as 

‘migraines.’ In my case it comes on suddenly. 

On a weekly basis I’m getting at least one migraine 

with pain so bad I have to go in a dark 

room, with no sounds, and pray when I wake 

up the pain is gone. The throbbing pain sometimes 

is so bad I can’t even think. I’m afraid 

I’ll do badly in school, be unable to do sports, 

and lose friends if the disability continues. After 

trying medication (one of the only options, 

according to the doctor) my parents and I decide 

against it. But, there’s more… 

A family friend convinces my family and me to 

give his doctor a try. This new doctor does an 

exam, takes some films, and then ‘corrects’ my 

spine (he tells me there’s nerve pressure on my 

neck going to my head). The correction doesn’t 

hurt, it actually feels good. I get relief, and 

shortly afterwards, my migraines disappear. 

Oh, did I mention this doctor is a chiropractor? 

Chiropractic works so well for me, and I’m 

so impressed with the other ‘miracles’ I see in 

his office, I eventually go to chiropractic school 

myself. And that’s how it happened!” 

Let me tell you about Natalia, my wife. For 

5 years, she suffered with bad low back pain 

and restless pain in her legs at night. Since she 

was a nurse she saw specialists who ordered 

tests. They put her on powerful medications 

yet she still suffered. At age 28, after suffering 

for years, she started chiropractic care here, 

and the pain in her legs is now only a rarity, 

and she has no low back pain at all. 

Sitting in our relaxation room after a treatment helps your adjustments last longer. 

For the last 5 years, people from Delray Beach 

and the surrounding areas have come to see me 

with: 

• Headaches/Migraines 

• Vertigo 

• Back Pain 

• Neck Pain 

• Shoulder/Arm Pain 

• Backaches 

• Numbness In Limbs 

• Athletic Injuries 

just to name a few… 

Here’s some of your neighbors success stories: 

“I am feeling better on so many levels. I went in 

because of some back pain and after my treatments 

I found my general health improving as well! I’m 

very happy with the care I am receiving from Dr. 

Elan!” 

(Joe Gillie, Delray Beach, FL) 

“This is the best thing I have ever done for my 

body!” (Rosanne Patsy, Delray Beach, FL) 

Exciting Offer - Look, I know you’re smart. 

You want to get to the cause of your problems, 

and not just cover them up with drugs. When 

you are one of the first 20 people to call and 

schedule a New Patient exam before January 31, 

2017 you’ll receive the entire exam for $27. This 

includes x-rays, paraspinal thermal imaging, 

postural analysis… and there are no hidden 

fees. But, call right away, as we expect to 

be flooded with calls. This exam normally 

costs $190. Again, there are only 20 slots 

available, so don’t miss out. (The patient and 

any other person responsible for payment 

has a right to refuse to pay, cancel payment, 

or be reimbursed for any other service, 

examination, or treatment that is performed 

within 72 hours of responding to the 

advertisement for the free, discounted fee, or 

reduced fee examination, or treatment.). 

Great care at a great fee… Please, I hope that 

there’s no misunderstanding about quality 

of care just because I have a lower exam fee. 

You’ll get great care at a great fee. I’ve been 

helping your neighbors here in Delray Beach 

for three years now. I have the low exam fee 

to help more people who need care. Our 

office is both friendly and warm and we try 

our best to make you feel at home. We have a 

wonderful service, at an exceptional fee! Our 

office is called Schrier Family Chiropractic 

and it is at 315 N.E 2nd Ave., (located in 

Pineapple Grove). Our phone number is 561- 

445-2648. Call today for an appointment. We 

can help. Thank you.

Plantar Fasciitis… Sprinting 

into the New Year pain free 

By Dr. John Conde 

Each year, approximately 2 million Americans are afflicted by Plantar 

Fasciitis (PF). One out of 10 will struggle with it for life. The plantar fascia, 

also known as the plantar aponeurosis, is like a sheath covering the muscle 

fascicles in the sole of the foot preventing friction during movement. 

They may become painful at the distal 

end (usually in the midfoot) or the proximal 

end near the insertion of the calcaneus, 

often referred to as “heel pain syndrome.” 

This can occur due to repetitive micro-traumas 

of the tissue resulting in inflammation 

and thickening of the plantar fascia of the 

foot causing knife-like, sharp, burning pain. 

At times, symptoms seem to begin “out of 

nowhere” however, acute conditions may 

occur as a result of a sudden increase in activity, 

jumping or agility training, prolonged 

standing, and improper footwear allowing 

excessive pronation of the foot, particularly 

in the overweight athlete. 

Clinically, PF presents unilaterally, but it 

is common to have pain in both feet. Symptoms 

are especially worse in the morning 

with the first steps out of bed or initial 

weight-bearing after sitting and are typically 

aggravated with prolonged weight 

bearing activity. Pain is specifically noted 

during ankle dorsiflexion with toe-off in 

the gait cycle which causes stretching of 

the arch of the foot, further contributing to 

the micro-traumas. 

As a result of persistent pain, secondary 

conditions related to antalgic position 

(leaning away from pain) by shifting weight 

on the lateral border of the foot or forward 

onto the toes can present concomitantly 

with PF causing changes in proper biomechanics 

of the gait cycle. Restriction of ankle 

dorsiflexion and Achilles tendonitis significantly 

increase this risk. Often symptoms 

can progress to the inability to bear weight 

at all. If no treatment is received, the condition 

could progress to a degenerative fasciopathy 

leading to 

chronic dysfunction 

of the foot or rupture 

of the fascia. 

The primary goals in 

treating PF are to reduce 

inflammation, break up 

fibrotic adhesions (scar 

tissue), strengthen surrounding 

musculature and 

neurological pathways and restore 

proper joint motion. This 

entails some simple procedures 

including Instrument Assisted 

Soft Tissue Mobilization Therapy 

that utilizes mild stainless instruments 

scanning the fascia 

searching for fibrotic changes. 

These changes are felt through 

the instrument that acts like 

a stethoscope to magnify the 

“lesions” which aid in breaking 

up existing scar tissue, 

increasing fibroblasts or “collagen 

builders” within the cells, 

proliferate and realign new collagen 

fibers. New cutting edge procedures involve 

the use of high power class IV lasers 

that accelerate energy production and tissue 

healing by nearly tenfold. 

These treatments can be extremely effective 

in a short time and approximately 90% 

of cases recover without residual disability, 

however, the key to effective treatment of PF 

is dedicated patient compliance. Please contact 

our office for more detailed information 

about plantar fasciitis and how we can help 

you get this new year off to a running start!

Eyebrow 

Thinning 

By Thomas C. Balshi, M.D. 

{ 

Medically, it’s known as superciliary madarosis, from the Greek madaros, 

which means “bald.” Women, who often regard this as devastating, simply 

know it as thinning eyebrows. Surprisingly, most women over 40 are affected. 

Eyebrows are a very important part of an 

attractive face. Male or female, the brows 

contribute to the emotion of the face. Like 

window treatments enhancing beautiful 

windows, the brows add the finishing touch 

to a pair of healthy, sparkling eyes. Lush 

thick brows imply youth. In combination 

with the eyes they facilitate our interactive 

skills with others. They are part of our natural 

make-up and our face just doesn’t look 

the same without them. 

There are many reasons why someone can 

lose eyebrow hair. Years of over plucking 

can be the culprit but there are also medical 

conditions that result in thinning of the eyebrows. 

The first step should be to identify 

the cause and then we move on to determine 

the best “fix.” 

Below are the most common causes of 

thinning eyebrows. 

1. Hypothyroidism 

Also known as Queen Anne’s sign, it’s not 

nearly as beautiful as the name implies. It’s 


a thinning of the lateral third 

of one’s eyebrows and can be 

a result of hypothyroidism. 

If you notice you’re feeling 

fatigued, have low moods 

and dry skin, or are becoming 

intolerant to cold, you 

are exhibiting symptoms and 

should consult an endocrinologist. 

2. Nutrient deficiency 

Diets that are short on vitamins 

A, E, D and B can lead to 

a thinning of the eyebrows. A 

lack of biotin, iron and lysine 

will also make the hair weak 

and brows look sparse. Luckily, 

most of these nutrients can 

be found in natural foods like 

walnuts, spinach, carrots and kale. They’re 

also available in eggs and fish. A healthy diet 

might alleviate the problem. 

3. Seborrheic Dermatitis 

Seb Derm, commonly known as eczema, it 

can be found anywhere on the body. And yes, 

that includes the skin underneath the eyebrows. 

Red, itchy patches become inflamed 

and hair thins over these patches. This is 

one for the dermatologist. 

4. Alopecia Areata 

Alopecia areata is a chronic autoimmune 

disease in which the immune system erroneously 

attacks the hair follicles, causing 

inflammation and temporary hair loss. Any 

hair-bearing skin site can be affected by alopecia 

areata, including the eyebrows. Again, 

see the dermatologist. 

5. Aging 

As one grows old, the production of hormones 

like estrogen decreases. This makes 

one susceptible to levels of DHT in hair follicles. 

DHT (a hormone like testosterone) 

forms a barrier that prevents the nutrients 

from reaching the hair. When that happens, 

brow hairs begin to fall as a result. This is 

the toughest “fix.” 

What should one do if suffering from 

eyebrow thinning? 

1. If due to thyroid issues, an endocrinologist 

will be able to provide medications to 

treat the condition. 

2. Try eating healthy and consuming lots 

of natural vitamins. 

3. See a dermatologist for thinning combined 

with redness or discomfort. 

4. People who have thinning brows due to 

age might want to consider permanent cosmetic 

tattoos. The road to permanent, beautiful 

brows could start with something as 

simple as finding a good technician. Or for 

a less aggressive approach, there are several 

makeup tips on YouTube about how to make 

thinning eyebrows look fuller. 

5. Protect what you have. If you notice 

your brows thinning, don’t make it worse by 

continuing with the plucking, shaving, rubbing 

or any of the other stuff you used to do. 

Instead, take care to pamper the brows and 

wash them tenderly. 

6. Try re-growth serums. Dermatologists 

may offer a serum specifically for eyebrows. 

These are different from “Rogaine” which 

does not work to re-grow eyebrows. Always 

consult with a doctor when involving the use 

of serums. 

Most importantly, whether medically 

caused or strictly a cosmetic issue, a good 

dermatologist will understand your need 

and advise you the best way to achieve it.

health & beauty ║ Your Dental Health 

Let’s Work to Keep Your 

Teeth for a Lifetime 

BY Craig Spodak, DMD, PA 

{ 

Start 2017 with a happy, 

healthy smile 

With advancements in dental technology 

and consistent at-home regimens, Americans 

are keeping their teeth longer than ever before. 

Now that’s something to smile about! 

Because we are keeping our teeth even longer, 

it’s even more important to visit your 

dentist regularly to avoid any complications 

that might arise. But, not to fret, there is a fix 

for everything! 

Tooth Decay: Regardless of your age, your 

teeth are still susceptible to cavities, and even 

increases as you get older. You can get cavities 

on the surfaces of teeth that have never 

been a problem before, and you can also get 

them around old fillings or at the root of your 

tooth as it becomes softer and more exposed. 

Regular brushing and flossing never goes out 

of style, so ensure you continue these healthy 

habits regardless of age. 

The Fix: It’s as simple as fluoride. Fluoride 

is one of the 10 great public health achievements 

of the 20th Century. Roughly 80 percent 

of people in the United States have 

fluorinated water, but that only benefits children’s 

developing teeth. As such, consider 

adding a daily fluoride supplement, such as 

a rinse of gel, and be sure to request fluoride 

treatments at your dental appointments. 

Professional fluoride varnish application by 

your dentist or hygienist is by far the most 


effective cavity prevention. 

Dry Mouth: Saliva is the mouth’s best 

defense against tooth decay, but, as we go 

through life, we produce less. Add medications 

to that, and many people have reduced 

saliva, placing them at increased risk for 

tooth decay. 

The Fix: If you suffer from dry mouth, try 

to stimulate saliva production by drinking 

water regularly throughout the day or even 

chew sugar-free xylitol candies or gum. Your 

dentist may prescribe a prescription saliva 

substitute or recommend over-the-counter 

formulations for you to try. 

Gum Disease: If you notice that your 

gums are red, swollen and bleed easily when 

brushing or flossing, there’s a good chance 

you have gingivitis, which is an early form of 

gum disease. In America, roughly 50 percent 

of people over the age of 30 suffer from gingivitis. 

Untreated gingivitis often progresses 

to infect the bone that supports your teeth. 

The Fix: See your dentist regularly because 

there is hope! Gingivitis is completely 

reversible with good dental care. You may 

need to visit your dentist and hygienist 

more often so that your teeth and gums can 

be cleaned and treated. 

Oral Cancer: Almost 50,000 Americans 

will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year, 

so please quit smoking and reduce alcohol 

consumption. Oral cancer incidence definitely 

increases as your get older so pay attention 

to your oral care and make sure you are visiting 

your dentist and hygienist regularly. 

The Fix: Only about half of the people who 

develop oral cancer survive, so the best hope 

is early diagnosis. Your dental exam should 

include a check for oral cancer where your 

dentist or hygienist will hold your tongue 

and check the soft tissue in your mouth as 

well as your throat and jaw. 

Tooth Crowding: You might notice that 

food is more often getting stuck between 

your teeth, or a minor overlapping is more 

noticeable, and you’re probably right. Teeth 

shift more as you age and that can be problematic 

because it makes your teeth more 

difficult to clean and floss, which leads to 

more decay. Also, shifting teeth can lead to 

chipping and cracking, as well as causing 

damage to supporting tissue and bone. 

The Fix: If your teeth have shifted, you 

could be a candidate for Invisalign, which 

is the best way to move teeth without metal 

braces. Invisalign will help get your teeth back 

where they belong, and allow you to shine 

your straight, healthy smile for years to come. 

Grinding and Clenching: Grinding and 

clenching occurs in your deepest sleep, so 

most of us aren’t even aware we are doing 

it. It causes damage to teeth, gums and bone, 

and can lead to shifting, fractures and tooth 

loss, as well as facial pain and headaches. 

The Fix: Your dentist is able to give you a 

night guard that you can wear at night to protect 

your teeth while you sleep. Just pay attention 

to any grinding and clenching that you 

might be doing throughout the day and let your 

dentist know if your habits are getting worse. 

Your dentist’s goal is to help you keep your 

teeth for a lifetime so if you have any questions 

about the state of your smile, just go in 

for a visit so your dentist can help you reach 

your dental health goals. Your dentist is your 

smile advocate so here’s to a healthy and 

happy 2017 and beyond!

A ShortCut To Your 

Fitness Goals? 

By Ashley Sica 

It’s that time of year again where food and drinks are flowing abundantly and 

New Year resolutions will soon be in full swing. But before you jump back on 

your health and fitness regime, consider adding a regimen that will help you 

{attain your fitness goals faster and make you feel like a million bucks. 

Sound too good to be true? Well 

it’s not! It’s called Cellular Cleansing. 

Cleansing has a huge range of 

health benefits, but for the sake of 

this article I am going to focus on 

the benefits of Cellular Cleansing 

paired with Intermittent Fasting. 

These two practices put together 

will turn your body in to a fat burning 

machine and the rid your body of 

the toxins that are keeping you from 

reaching your fitness goals. 

When I say cleansing, most people 

probably think drinking a lemonade 

type drink for 14 days, and when I say 

fasting people usually think of “starvation.” 

It’s neither of those. Traditional 

“cleanses” will strip or deplete your 

body with use of laxatives or diuretics 

and leave you feeling weak and lethargic. 

However, cleansing at the cellular 

level helps your body release 

un-wanted toxins in a safe and 

efficient manner. (I can assure 

you that you won’t be 

needing to sit on the potty 

all day long!) These toxins 

that have built up in your 

system are most likely the 

culprits that make you 

feel lethargic, bloated, fat, 

sleepy, puffy, etc. In turn, 

the toxins then make it 

much harder for you to 

lose weight. It’s fighting 

an uphill battle. If you can 

remove these toxins that 

are brought on by bad eating 

habits, pollution and environmental 

factors your body 

will be much more effective at metabolizing 

food and burning fat. Now take Cellular 

Cleansing and add in the practice of Intermittent 

Fasting (also known as IF) and the 

results are simply amazing! IF is simply 

cutting back on calories for a shortened 

or extended period of time in order to give 

your digestive system a break. By doing so 

IF helps reset your body to burn fat for fuel 

by increasing growth hormone levels. 

After having my 3nd child 7 months ago 

I’ve been Intermittent Fasting religiously 

and I can honestly say it has made getting 

back in shape not too painful! This is not 

just a short term fix for me, it’s something 

that I will do the rest of my life. Not only 

because it has helped whip me back into 

shape but because of the amazing natural 

energy it gives me along with a host of other 

amazing benefits! The results have not 

only been incredible for me but for many 

others as well. Take “Jane” who has not lost 

a single pound in over 6 months despite 

eating clean and working out daily. After 

incorporating Cellular Cleansing and Intermittent 

Fasting into her regimen she lost 

5 pounds in the first week and feels better 

now than she ever has. This is just one 

simple example out of the countless results 

people have had from this method. 

Learn more about Cellular Cleansing 

and Intermittent Fasting and incorporating 

this effective regiment to aide you in 

your fitness goals for 2017. You will not be 

disappointed!

special feature ║ Delray GreenMarket 

Shop Green, Shop Local, Shop Smart 

Delray GreenMarket 

By Lori Nolan 

{Farmer’s markets have been gaining popularity throughout the United States, 

and it’s no surprise. Farmers markets help to boost the local economy, support 

small business owners and entrepreneurs, are a greener option than shopping 

at a supermarket, and create a positive social community environment. 

COME AND ENJOY SHOPPING AT THE GREEN MARKET 

The Delray GreenMarket, launched in 

1996 by the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment 

Agency (CRA) is no exception 

to this national trend, and for 21 years the 

Market has grown and flourished in Downtown 

Delray Beach, offering an open-air alternative 

for food shopping every Saturday. 

The Delray GreenMarket offers more 

than sixty-five of South Florida’s premier 

culinary artisans and growers, specializing 

in everything from local farm fresh veggies, 


fruitand citrus, fresh seafood, baked goods, 

dairy products, kombucha, olive oil, flowers, 

orchids, jams, shrubs and plenty of other 

handcrafted food specialty items. Each vendor 

is a local small business, meaning every 

dollar spent at the GreenMarket goes to 

support the person you are doing business 

with, and the local economy. 

Because the GreenMarket specializes in 

fresh produce and food, you can be guaranteed 

that everything you purchase is at 

the peak of its season. Everything is freshly 

made or picked, and many of the products 

are picked for the Market that morning. You 

also have the ability to meet and speak to 

the folks who grew or produced the food 

you are buying. If you have any questions 

about a products health benefits, how to 

prepare it, how something is grown, or if 

you need some ideas for a new recipe,our 

producers are passionate about the food 

they produce, and are happy to share any

information you may need. The GreenMarket 

also offers alternative products including, 

organic, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, dairy 

free, sugar-free, and gluten-free foods to fit 

any lifestyle choice or dietary needs. 

The Delray GreenMarket is not only passionate 

about food; it is passionate about reducing 

its carbon footprint. On average, produce 

travels 1,500 miles to get from farm to 

grocer. At the GreenMarket, that number 

is greatly reduced because the produce is 

from local Florida farms and handcrafted 

products are locally sourced. The Green- 

Market is also the only Market in South 

Florida with a weekly, complimentary bike 

valet sponsored by Human Powered Delray. 

The Market encourages its visitors to bike to 

the Market every Saturday to promote good 

health and green transportation. 

If all of these weren’t enough reasons to 

visit the Delray GreenMarket every Saturday, 

the Market is also a great place for fun 

every week! Every Saturday, the GreenMarket 

offers live music, a children’s Budding 

Artist craft booth sponsored by Old School 

Square, a playground, as well as a fun place 

for friends and neighbors to meet up and 

have a cup of coffee or stay for lunch! The 

FRESH - FRESH - FRESH 

Market is always family-friendly and set in 

beautiful downtown Delray Beach. Every 

Saturday, October through May, the Green- 

Market is located in Old School Square 

Park and is open from 9AM to 2PM. In the 

summer, the Market relocates to the Tennis 

Center Parking lot and is open from 9AM- 

Noon. Lori Nolan, the Delray GreenMarket 

manager said, “I often hear people swapping 

recipes and discussing how to prepare 

the food they’re buying. It’s a great social 

experience. There’s a lot of camaraderie 

here- there are no strangers, only people 

who haven’t met yet.” 

Support local food and fun, and head to 

the Delray GreenMarket every Saturday! It 

is sure to be a feast for your eyes and ears, 

with flavors to delight every palate.

Delray’s Pediatric Dentist 

Young Dentistry 

By Philip Fishman 

{ 

“If 

these kids can 

grow up without 

cavities, I am doing 

my job right!” 

photos by melissa korman 

Dr. Young opened her charming, child friendly 

office in June after signing a lease in 2013 to 

build on a vacant lot on NE 4th Street in East 

Delray. 

For three years, she evaluated and then approved 

architectural plans with local designer 

Francisco Perez. The final blueprint could not 

have been a better fit. 

Incisal Edge Magazine named Young Dentistry 

the 2016 Best Specialty Office Design Award 

Winner. Visitors to her spanking new state of 

the art facility can truly understand why. 

“I had a vision of what I wanted - a bright and 

sunny place where kids can enjoy and have fun 

and not be afraid to visit a dentist. It was definitely 

worth the wait.” said Young. 


Dr. Marcie with her family - James, Rheya, and Remi 

The open bay concept works well for children 

“And this area really was in need of a Pediatric 

Dental Office.” 

Dr. Marcie Young, DMD has Florida roots - a 

native of Cooper City, she received a Bachelor’s 

Degree from the University of Florida and graduated 

from the UF Dental School in 2004. Two 

years later, she completed a two year program 

in Pediatric Dentistry at New York University, 

focusing on growth, development, sedation and 

special needs patients. 

In 2008, Marcie returned to Florida with 

husband James who preferred to make Delray 

Beach his permanent home and an ideal venue 

to raise a family. 

Today, Marcie lives only a few blocks away 

and she couldn’t be happier. 

“My life is here. Delray is ultimately where 

I wanted to be. I love riding my bike or taking 

a golf cart to work and being close to my kids 

(daughters Remi and Rheya). 

As a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist and 

Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric 

dentistry, Marcie spent nine years in Palm 

Beach Gardens working for Dr. Mimy’s Children’s 

Dentistry before moving to Delray. She 

continues to be on staff at the St. Mary’s Medical 

Center. 

Dr. Marcie Young’s practice offers her adolescent 

patients a unique experience that includes 

both the kids and their parents.

Interactive patient education 

“In the past, parents usually stayed in the waiting room until their 

children came out. Here they become part of the appointment and I 

welcome them. It’s really about what is best for the child.” 

External stimuli are highly visible at Young Dentistry where multiple 

large floor to ceiling windows adorn the main room with adjourning 

suites highlighted by a bright blue and white décor. 

“The kids can watch TV which is better than any medicine I can 

give them or spend time in a play area before their appointment. We 

want them to enjoy the experience. 

Her state of the art equipment features the latest low dose x-ray 

machines and needleless injections but prior to their application, she 

explains to the kids what will happen next. 

“I talk to the children about what will happen and carefully show 

them what I will be doing. I don’t want to surprise them.” 

Marcie sees adolescents ranging one year old through college with 

a continued focus on anticipatory guidance, prevention and establishing 

good hygiene and dental care habits. 

When her patients become adults, their dental needs may change 

and general dentists become the norm. 

For Dr. Marcie Young, opening a new business creates a litany of 

responsibilities away from the actual practice of working on children. 

“Practicing Dentistry is the easy part. It’s the marketing that becomes 

so important.” 

Marcie frequently visits local schools, collaborates with nurses. 

She hands out toothpaste and toothbrushes and occasionally flosses 

a child to show how it should be correctly done. 

She also finds time to actively support the Achievement Center and 

the Miracle League of Palm Beach County, The Banyan Creek Elementary 

School Theatre Department and Impact 100. 

Dr. Marcie Young has goals - to provide needed access to the best 

dental care for children and to become a truly visible presence in her 

hometown. 

“I am excited to let people know that we are here. I wanted to fill a 

void, be recognized as the “go to” Pediatric Dentist in this community.” 

For now, Marcie is the sole dentist but as her practice continues to 

grow, other Pediatric Dentists may come on board. She currently employs 

two Dental Assistants within her practice along with a trained 

Anesthesiologist who can perform IV sedations if needed. 

Dr. Marcie Young of Delray Beach is living her dream.

special feature ║ Price Flooring 

It’s a Family Affair at 


By Martin LenkowskY 


{“From the moment you walk in our doors, 

until you walk on your new floors, Price is 

right for you,” is Price Flooring’s motto. 

Just walking through the doors at Price 

Flooring immediately brings to mind the 

best of two hugely popular TV shows: 

Cheers, “where everyone knows your 

name,” and All in the Family, where the 

name speaks for itself. 

Price Flooring, 2001-B W. Atlantic Ave., 

has been at its Delray Beach location, on the 

northwest corner of Congress and Atlantic 

for 10 years. 

Price Flooring is a local, family-owned 

business. Ray Price is the owner. He takes 

pride in everything he does. He wants the 

business to run smoothly. What more can 

you ask for? How often do you walk into a 


business every day and see the owner? 

Ray, a Florida native, has been in the flooring 

business since 1989, a total of 27 years. 

Price Flooring sells a huge selection of 

tile, wood laminate, water-proof laminate, 

glass and stone. “We provide materials and 

installation,” Nicole said. “We’re the authorized 

flooring vendor for Costco in Broward 

and Palm Beach counties.” 

Nicole is proud their company has such 

a loyal clientele. “We’ve been doing this so 

long, we have a big following with retail 

customers, designers and contractors,” she 

said, adding how their business has expanded. 

“We provide great service, at a great 

Price brothers “we got you covered” - Peter and Ray 

Ray Price proudly promotes 100% american 

made kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities 

price. We’ve ‘grown’ into kitchen cabinets, 

bathrooms, vanities, granite and quartz 

countertops,” she said. “We’ve expanded. 

We’re a one-stop shop where a family can 

come in and have a family-run business remodel 

their home. We can handle an entire 

project from A to Z. We handle everything 

from materials to peace of mind installation 

and scheduling.” 

Nicole, who’s been with Price Flooring 

since it first opened its doors, is engaged 

to owner Ray. “Ray is an incredible father,” 

she said, “one of the smartest men I know. 

He’s a phenomenal father, mentor and 

businessman.” 

And once again returning to a TV theme, 

well almost, Nicole adds “Everybody loves 

Ray.” As for herself, she says, “I’m a permanent 

fixture; I’m not going anywhere.” 

Not only do all of Price Flooring’s associates 

see themselves as one big family, they 

view their many loyal customers as family 

as well. “We treat our customers like family,” 

Nicole says. “They feel we’ve known 

them for years.” 

Christina Hess has also been with Price 

Flooring for many years. “We’re all veterans 

in this industry,” she said. “We’ve got 

a 120-years of combined experience between 

us.” 

Although not a family member of the

Price clan like Ray, his brother Peter, and 

soon-to-be Nicole, Christine jokingly calls 

herself, “Lois” Price. 

Price Flooring carries only quality merchandise, 

says Nicole. “We are the No. 1 

distributor in the state of Florida for Shaw 

Flooring, a company owned by billionaire 

Warren Buffet,” she says. “They make the 

most ‘green friendly’ products. They are 

compliant with California environmental 

laws. They follow the strictest environmental 

guidelines. Most of their products are 

made here in the U.S.A. 

Price carries only first quality material. 

“We have more than 5,000 square feet of 

showroom to choose from; starting at 99 

cents a foot,” says Nicole. “We’re a huge 

importer. We import tile from all over. We 

cut out the middle man, and pass the savings 

on to the customers. We’re a direct 

importer of tile; wood plank tile, and bathroom 

tile. We’re licensed, insured, and have 

workers’ comp.” 

Nicole is quick to point out something 

that makes Price Flooring a rarity in the 

field. “We’re not on commission,” she says. 

“We’re here to help people.” 

No job is too big or too small for them. 

“We’re here to help people with their sixby-six 

bathroom,” Nicole said. “And you 

might remember us for your next, bigger 

project. We have the ability to handle a 

lot. Dave is our installation supervisor, and 

he’s been doing it for like 30 years. Yes, we 

actually have a supervisor that inspects the 

installations.” 

Because Price Flooring’s employees have 

so many years of experience, they offer 

something rather unique to their customers. 

“We are not sales people. We are your 

free design consultants,” said Nicole. “We 

have the experience to guide you in the 

right direction to achieve the look you are 

trying to achieve.” 

Nicole invites you to come check out the 

newest styles of porcelain wood plank tile 

Everyone loves a softer side. Warm up your room with carpet or create a design with an area rug 

Nicole and Christina are happy to assist 

One of the hottest, most popular trends 

in today’s flooring market are wood plank 

tiles. “We carry all different styles and sizes 

of wood plank tiles,” Nicole says. “It gives 

them a realistic look and without all the 

maintenance of real wood.” 

Price Flooring provides its customers 

with prompt service in addition to low 

cost. “We can get kitchens ordered within 

a week,” Nicole said. “They’re extremely affordable, 

and you’re going to get the best 

product for the best price. It’s nice when 

you can come into a store and buy your 

entire home. You don’t have to struggle or 

look for the right person. We provide professional 

installation.” 

Ray Price adds: “Our kitchen and granite 

business has really taken off for us, and we 

remain Shaw’s biggest dealer in the state 

of Florida. People have peace of mind coming 

to one place. We’re more of a one-stop 

shop than your typical flooring store. All our 

cabinets are real wood. We don’t use particle 

board. People can come in and have a 

kitchen three days later. You can have your 

flooring done, your bathroom remodeled, 

and your entire kitchen remodeled all at 

one place. We even have cabinets that are 

100 percent made in the U.S.A.”

VENETIAN NAIL SPA 

A Place To Be Pampered 

{By Martin LenkowskY 


Manicures, pedicures, and a free therapy 

session? It’s all in a day’s work at Venetian 

Nail Spa in Delray Beach Marketplace. 

“We get a lot of repeat clientele,” says coowner 

Vivian Nguyen. “It’s more like a family.” 

Vivian opened this franchise four years 

ago next month. It’s located at 9097 W. Atlantic 

Ave., Suite 102, Delray Beach, FL. They 

were one of the first businesses to set up 

shop in Delray Beach’s western environs, 

and they’ve been building a loyal customer 

base ever since. Previously, she had been at 

a Venetian Nail Spa in Weston. 

Vivian says Venetian Nail Spa stands out 

compared to other nail salons because of 

the rapport she’s established with her customers. 

“We offer great customer service, 

friendliness and cleanliness,” she says. 

“We’ve created a family environment. Our 

customers are not just a number. We treat

One such customer is Lake Worth resident 

Laura Tierney. She’s been coming to 

Venetian Nail Spa for two and a half years. 

“The first time I walked in I thought the 

place was beautiful,” she says. “It was very 

clean and inviting compared to other places 

I’ve been. Vivian is always very friendly. She 

always says hello. I love coming here. I look 

forward to it. It’s my time to get pampered.” 

If one believes for a moment only women 

go in to have their nails done; think again, 

Vivian says. “We’re also very popular with 

men” she says. “My store is one of the most 

popular for men. They get a lot of manicures 

and pedicures.” 

Vivian describes her clientele as very diverse 

. “We get customers from 5-year-olds 

to 80-year-olds,” she says.

Nail technician Rayana Santos has been doing nails for 14 years. 

She joined Venetian Nail Spa five months after it opened. “I love it 

here,” she says. “We are like one big family. We joke around a lot. 

We’re all young and understand each other. We’re always here for 

each other. If one of us is down, we have each other’s back.” 

Vivian says her staff of 25 is very diverse. “We have people 

from Asia. We have Hispanics,” she says. “They’re all very well 

trained, professional and experienced.” 

Vivian has been in the nail salon business for many years. “My 

family started about 15 years ago,” she says. 

Plus, if a customer should need a little refreshment, Vivian is 

always ready. “We also offer complimentary wine, soda and water,” 

she says. “Wine is every girl’s best friend. They never let us 

down, red or white.” 

Spa hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; 

Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. “But we do private parties as long as it’s 

within our regular business hours,” Vivian says. 

In addition to manicures and pedicures, Vivian says they provide 

a wide range of service including nail extensions, hot stone 

spa pedicures, milk and honey foot massages, manicures with 

hand massages, and waxing liquid gels. 

The first thing one notices upon entering Venetian Nail Spa 

is a deep blue, soothing ceiling mural of the sky punctuated by 

scattered white puffy cumulus clouds. To the left of the entrance 

lies a fitting, namesake wall mural of Venice, lifelike with canal 

and gondola. To the right of the front door is a multi-colored display 

of nail polishes, foot creams and facial products. 

Part of superb customer service in a nail spa is to provide the 

best techniques in cleanliness and hygiene. Vivian says pedicure 

chairs are bleached regularly – after each customer, and sanitized 

daily. Equipment is thoroughly sterilized as well. “We do 

have pedicure liners if requested,” she adds. 

Esthetician Susan Anthony joined the Venetian Nail Spa staff 

a few months ago, and recently launched a facial services menu. 

She does skin services, including facials and peels. She also owns 

her own skin spa in Chicago. “I work with cosmetic surgeons and 

doctors in Chicago,” she says. Every six to eight weeks she does 

her own ultra skin peels, and her own perfectly smooth, creamy, 

beautiful complexion most definitely proves it.

into his massage therapy practice.

Explore the Benefits of Massage 

My Medical & Sports Massage 

{By Nicol JenkiNS 


Jayson Serrano is more than your typical massage therapist; he’s a 

professional, natural healer and a listener. Through his company, 

My Medical & Sport Massage, Jayson truly cares about helping each 

of his clients feel better through massage therapy. 

Beyond relaxation and sore muscle relief, 

My Medical & Sport Massage focuses on 

your problem areas for long-term benefits 

and can even help to resolve many medical 

ailments. They offer a variety of massages 

and customize them for each client. Some 

of the massage favorites are: Swedish, Aromatherapy, 

Medical, Sport, Deep Tissue, 

Neuromuscular Techniques, Trigger Points, 

Swe-Thai stretching, Craniosacral Reflexology, 

Hot Stone, Chair Massage, Lomi lomi and 

others. The therapist will focus on the areas 

of the body related to the condition. 

Massage addresses a variety of health 

conditions, the most prevalent is stress 

related tension, which experts believe accounts 

for 80 percent of diseases. Studies 

have proven that massage is beneficial in 

treating cancer-related fatigue, headaches, 

high blood pressure, neck and low back 

pain, TMJ, immunity suppression, spinal 


cord injury, autism, post-operative surgery, 

age-related disorders, and depression, 

among others. 

Jayson Serrano is trained in over 30 different 

modalities and Certified in Medical 

massage and Swe-Thai massage. The local 

therapist says massage has many physiological 

effects including releasing tight and 

sore muscles which increases circulation to 

all areas of the body; reduction in recovery 

time from certain injuries; breaking of the 

pain-tension cycle; and removal of toxins and 

waste products that build up in the tissues. 

The massage therapists are continually 

advancing on the knowledge and techniques 

by their continuing education, which increases 

the accuracy of the treatments and 

decreases the total number of visits. The 

company also focuses on convenience. The 

therapist will come to your home, or you can 

meet at one of the convenient locations, in 

Delray Beach or Boynton Beach, in a resort 

spa like setting. 

For over 10 years, Jayson has practiced 

and trained in the art of massage therapy. 

His passion for being in the holistic field 

began at a young age while watching his 

grandmother and mother cooking organic 

food and only using natural products, “I still 

remember the chicken soups and sancocho,” 

he mentioned. His grandmother also had a 

little farm with animals and a small garden 

full of medicinal, home remedy plants and 

herbs; this is where Jayson was first introduced 

to the benefits of natural healing, holistic 

awareness and Aromatherapy. 

Growing up in Puerto Rico, music was 

also a big part of Jayson’s life with his father

ation and professionalism. 

“We care for each of our clients; we have 

people’s lives in our hands. If we are working 

with someone who has an illness, before 

we start the massage therapy we will make 

sure that the therapy isn’t contraindicated, 

we ask important questions in our consultation 

for medical facts like allergies, recent 

surgery, injury or prior accidents. Clients 

will benefit from our continuous education; 

we want to help people,” exclaimed Jayson. 

Massage therapists find an inner reward in 

being able to help people through massage. 

“We care for their wellbeing. It’s fulfilling 

when you see that you are creating positive 

results in someone’s life,” said Jayson. 

Jayson’s clients appreciate him and My 

Medical & Sport Massage for making them 

feel better and live a healthier life. 

“I had a very sore neck and clavicle muscles 

due to a weight lifting strain that was 

aggravated by a weekend of rigorous tuna 

fishing in the Keys. I explained my issue to 

Jayson, he listened intently and suggested 

a medical neck and back massage. Jayson is 

a trained and certified expert. The service 

was amazing. This was by far the best massage 

I ever had. He identified immediately 

what my issues were and methodically went 

to work on a specialized massage treatment. 

I was blown away by Jayson, and by his professionalism. 

Try him, and you won’t be disappointed,” 

stated one happy client. 

“I experienced a horrible pulled muscle 

and was in a lot of pain. Jayson pushed me 

with encouragement and patience to heal 

better. He not only practices with skill but 

with expertise and his whole heart and soul. 

I truly felt cared about as if I was the only 

patient he had to worry about. I believe he 

is the reason that I am up and bouncing 

around. Jayson practices with a sincere, 

heartfelt concern for his patients as well as 

a great level of skill,” added another client.

New Owner Determined to Preserve 

Historic Clint Moore Home 

{By Rich Pollack 

As a young man, Blaine Minton used to jog by the 

historic house at 1420 North Swinton Avenue – known 

as the Clint Moore House – and think about living there. 

“It was always a dream of mine,” he said. 

That dream came true in April when Minton, 

a senior vice president of wealth management 

for Merrill Lynch, purchased the home. 

“This place is magical,” he said. “It’s almost 

like Tara from “Gone with the Wind.” 

It was not just the property’s beauty, 

however, that led Minton to buy the house, 

built in 1925, that had been home to pioneer 

farmer Clint Moore and has often been referred 

to as “Delray Beach’s White House.” 

It was also the chance to preserve a piece 

of Delray Beach history, one that is an integral 

part of North Swinton Avenue’s historical 

charm. 

“I’ve seen too many of these homes 

knocked down,” Minton said. “This is a oneof-a- 

kind place and preserving it will really 

help Delray. You have tremendous history 

here. Who doesn’t want to keep that?” 

To ensure that the house – an example 

of Georgian Colonial style – is never torn

Known by some as “Delray Beach’s White House,” the home features two large banyan 

trees on either side of the walkway and a large banyan in the center of the front yard 

Blaine Minton and his daughter Madysen 

in front of the 1925 Clint Moore house 

Photo by Chelsae Anne 

down, Minton has enlisted the support of 

the Delray Beach Preservation Trust in requesting 

that the home be designated by the 

city at a local historical site. 

At the same time, he is planning major 

renovations, including restoration to the 

6,177 square-foot home, which sits on close 

to two acres in the heart of the city. All of the 

changes, including additions and a new pool 

– a replica of one from a turn of a century 

Chicago home – will be in the rear. 

“You’ll still see the amazing historic house 

from Swinton Avenue,” said Minton, who 

will be living in the home with his 8-yearold 

daughter Madysen. “We’re just going to 

make it more livable for today’s families.” 

The extensive renovations he is doing with 

the help of local architect Roger Cope – who 

specializes in restoring historically valuable 

houses – as well as architect David Frank and 

interior designer Tiffany Woolley, illustrates 

that major improvements can be made to older 

homes that receive the historic designation. 

“I like to combine the old and the new,” 

says Minton, 39, who previously renovated 

a home just a few blocks away. 

Minton’s efforts to preserve the home are 

being praised by many in the city. 

“This home and its property embodies 

the character of our historic Swinton Avenue,” 

said Delray Beach Vice Mayor Jordana 

Jarjura. “By Mr. Minton seeking to designate 

it, he will be protecting it for many generations 

to enjoy.” 


Built by LeRoy T. Hirth, the Clint Moore 

house is believed to be one of the last remaining 

Georgian Colonial-style homes in 

South Palm Beach County. Described as 

a jewel in Delray Beach, the house is on a 

plantation-like setting with a huge Royal 

Poinciana in the middle of the front yard. 

Over the years, the property has not only 

been used as the backdrop for films and 

television shows but was also the site of a 

few weddings. 

Clint Moore, believed to be the first person 

to farm west of U.S. Highway 441, purchased 

the home in 1929 for $25,000 and 

lived there with his wife and five children 

until his death in 1948. The family stayed in 

the home until the 1950s when it was sold 

to Paul and Eleanor Gringle. 

The home was later owned by Marjorie 

Ferrar, former director of the Downtown Development 

Authority and Delray Beach Marketing 

Cooperative, and her husband, Joe. 

For its newest owner, the Clint Moore 

House is the perfect place to add modern 

touches to a historic home while still preserving 

its value. 

“This is the perfect opportunity to build 

on a dream,” Minton said. 

Home to one of Delray Beach’s pioneer farmers, the Clint Moore 

House features wood floors, a traditional staircase and fireplace 

About the Delray Beach Preservation Trust 

The mission of the Delray Beach Preservation 

Trust is to identify, preserve, restore 

and enhance all buildings and sites deemed 

to be intrinsic to the history and architecture 

of Delray Beach. The organization strives, 

Photo by Matt Sturgess 4th Ave Photography, courtesy of Bill Bathurst Golden Bear Realty 

through education, to foster an understanding 

and appreciation of the cultural, social 

and economic benefits of historic preservation. 

It provides grants and assists owners 

in applying for grants for restoration and 

rehabilitation of historic structures.

DR. JOHN R. PASQUAL 

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon 

By Diane FeeN 

Model for full-arch rehabilitation 


{ 

It’s hard to get people to agree on things – especially now. 

We can’t seem to agree on political points, eating habits, 

cultural norms or child rearing. But when it comes to oral 

surgery everyone is in total agreement – Dr. John Pasqual 

is the best maxillofacial surgeon in town. 

Though I have been blessed to sit in a 

chair opposite the doctor as opposed to being 

in front of him, his patients have all had 

similar experiences. 

“Dr. Pasqual is the best. His staff and follow-up 

was impeccable. He called to check 

on us at the end of the day to make sure everything 

was OK. I highly recommend him.” 

“My experience with Dr. Pasqual and his 

staff was more than satisfying. The extraction 

of my molar tooth was accomplished 

quickly, professionally and painless. I would 

recommend him to family and friends.” 

The stellar reviews go on endlessly – and 

the reason is simply that Dr. Pasqual has the 

education, experience and desire to be the best 

in his field. Not for accolades but because he 

is dedicated to his profession and his patients. 

Dr. john Pasqual 


Dr. Pasqual & Surgical Team 

“We are a patient-centric office where treatment 

is tailored specifically for each person. 

Our patients are thought of as family and are 

treated as such. We understand undergoing 

surgery can be a stressful event. My team and 

I are committed to minimizing stress,” said the 

Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. 

Dr. Pasqual specializes in dental implants, 

dental extractions, pathology (tumors and 

cysts), facial trauma and reconstructive surgery. 

His work has been lauded from coast 

to coast (patients come from out-of-town 

to see him) because of his excellent training 

and experience. 

He graduated from University of Pittsburgh 

School of Dental Medicine and did a 

four-year surgery residency at Case Western 

Reserve University MetroHealth Medical 

Center. He also did externships in Oral & 

Maxillofacial Surgery at University of Pittsburgh 

Medical Center, Montefiore University 

Hospital and at the University of Texas 

Health Sciences Center in San Antonio. 

Dr. Pasqual completed a fellowship in anesthesia 

at Case Western Reserve University, 

MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, is 

a Diplomat of the International Congress of 

Oral Implantologists in South Florida and 

the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial 

Surgery. He also won The Brody Award 

for clinical excellence and has published in 

numerous journals and abstracts.

But that is only part of his legend and legacy. It turns out that 

Dr. Pasqual is the son of an oral surgeon (Harry), his brother is 

an oral surgeon (Paul) and his uncle Robert is an oral surgeon. 

To top that off his mother Roberta has a PhD in anesthesiology 

and his brother Ron (who manages the office) is a Certified Senior 

Financial Advisor. 

When it comes to passion and medical expertise the apple 

does not fall far from the tree. “My standards are the same as Dr. 

Pasqual’s. We make sure all of our patients are treated with the 

utmost care and the staff makes sure everyone is welcomed and 

taken care of,” said Ron, who has the same warmth as his brother. 

That could be the reason for their exponential growth since 

the day they opened the doors almost six years ago. “The practice 

grows 20 percent each year,” said Dr. Pasqual, whose wife 

Nicole was the Chair Woman for the recent Woman of Grace 

Luncheon for Bethesda Hospital. 

Not only has this practice grown through word of mouth, but 

physicians and dentists from out of town also refer patients 

to Dr. Pasqual. They know he has excellent qualifications, a 

state-of-the-art operating room with the same sterilization 

techniques and general anesthesia offered at hospitals. “I have 

always been interested in the artistic aspect of dentistry and enjoy 

interacting with patients. I love what I do.” 

You bet he does. And so do others. That is why Dr. Pasqual is 

on the faculty at University of Florida, Temple University and is 

an attending physician at Bethesda hospital. 

Not only do the accolades and excellent reviews pour in like 

rain in July, there is another clientele that Dr. Pasqual has been 

tending to. But he keeps their names close to the vest. “It is surreal 

for me to see entertainers that I paid to see when I was a teenager 

sitting in my chair for treatment. You might see them on TV but 

when they’re here, they’re very unassuming and non-demanding.” 

The good news is that everyone who comes to see Dr. Pasqual 

is treated like a star. That’s the way it is with his practice and for 

those who work there. 

Everyone who comes agrees. “I have had two wisdom teeth 

removed by Dr. Pasqual. The staff was very professional and 

friendly and Dr. Pasqual is a real gentleman who makes you feel 

at ease while performing extractions. He is a great oral surgeon.”

Delray Beach The Leader in Luxury Global Real Estate 

By nicol jenkiNS 


{ 

From Dubai to China to Delray Beach, 

Engel & Völkers, Delray Beach brings the world 

together in a truly international connection. 

Lenny Felberbaum and Leanna Fruin, the 

new owners of Engel & Völkers in Delray 

Beach, credit their success that the company 

is the only true international Real Estate 

firm in the area. 

“With 700 offices in 40 different countries, 

we are in every major luxury market 

in the world,” said Lenny Felberbaum. 

Exclusivity, competence and passion are 

the core values shared by all 6,000 Engel 

& Völkers real estate advisors and are the 

driving force behind the growth and success 

of the unique brand. 

“We are a global lifestyle brand providing 

high quality services for those seeking 

to buy and sell real estate. We distinguish 

ourselves by providing our clients with exceptional 

service and support,” said Lenny. 

“Our style of doing business originates from 

our early success as a luxury property agency. 

We maintain the same standards of quality 

and service in everything we do.” 

“We want to offer our sellers the opportunity 

to connect with international buyers,” 

said Leanna. 

Lenny added, “We have the ability to market 

all over the world, within our organization 

and through different media outlets 

and websites that our company provides.” 

Along with Delray Beach, Engel & Völkers 

has 22 offices in Florida, and has doubled the 

North American presence to 104 shops coast 

to coast including Vancouver, Toronto and 

Montreal. They also market their breathtaking 

homes at luxurious events such as 

local tennis tournaments, polo matches, 

the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Yacht 

Show and the US Open tennis tournament. 

Both Lenny and Leanna have over 60 

years of experience in helping their clients 

find their dream homes and successfully 

assisting in selling their properties for top 

dollar. They decided to make Engel & Völkers 

home because the brand has helped to 

grow their business and market their clients’ 

properties. The owners describe their 

method of selling luxury Real Estate as authentic, 

driven, and innovative - and they 

believe Delray Beach is the perfect location 

for your new home or investment property. 

“Since opening the shop in Delray Beach, 

we have seen an influx of international buyers,” 

says Leanna. 

“The town of Delray Beach has a lot of 

positive publicity in local and travel magazines 

and publications. It was named the 

most fun small town in America. Also, because 

property values in Miami Beach are 

at such high levels, Palm Beach County is 

much more affordable for luxury buyers,” 

added Lenny. 


Engel & Völkers in Delray Beach is looking 

for experienced Real Estate agents to 

help grow their successful team. They are 

a boutique Real Estate firm with 13 agents 

who are highly educated, knowledgeable 

and successful in the field. 

“Our brand is very well known among 

the well traveled, high net worth individual 

and in the luxury market. Because of what 

we offer that sets us apart. We have access 

to the global buyers that most offices don’t 

have the reach and access to,” stated Lenny. 

Stop by the Grand Opening of Engel & 

Völkers’s Delray Beach office at 900 East Atlantic 

Avenue Suite 14. The event will take 

place in mid January and offer food, wine 

and champagne.

Relax With The Comfort Wax Experience 

European Wax Center 

By Nicol JenkiNS 


{ 

Waxing doesn’t have to be a painful experience. Instead of sneaking 

out the door embarrassed with a red face, at European Wax Center 

in Delray Beach customers strut out feeling glamorous. 

Franchisee Amy Cropper says, “Waxing is glamorous and painless here at Delray Beach EWC” 

waxing techniques prep your gorgeous skin 

before and after each treatment, ensuring 

the most comfortable experience possible. 

Step one is Cleanse. The pre-wax cleanser 

removes makeup, oil or lotion from your 

skin. Step two is Protect. Next, they apply 

pre-wax oil to ensure the wax adheres to 

pesky hairs and not your skin. Step number 

three is Get Your Wax On. Using their unique 

Comfort Wax, they gently remove the hair 

for a virtually painless experience. The last 

step is Rejuvenate. Last, they pamper your 

skin with either their Smooth Me Ingrown 

Hair Serum (for body) or Renew Me Restoring 

Serum (for face). 

Once you walk in the door, you will feel 

at ease in their glamorous shop. The knowledgeable 

staff greets you with a smile and 

then you will receive a 5-star waxing treat-

eyebrows, bikini, face, chest, underarms, 

and much more. 

“We are known as the comfort wax, and 

that is what sets us apart. Our wax does not 

stick to the skin and many of our customers 

have allergies or sensitive skin,” said owner 

Amy Cropper. 

European Wax Center has invented the 4 

Steps to Gorgeous process. Their exclusive

Come in to European wax and test any of our products on the shelves

what all the hype is about and come in for a free eyebrow, bikini 

or underarms waxing session as a first time guest. Waxing lasts 

approximately 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth. 

“Our waxing salon is a high-end waxing salon without the high 

prices. Our customer service is exceptional. Everyone who works 

here is fun, positive and eager to please,” said Amy, adding, “I 

wanted to help people feel more beautiful and the customer service 

of European Wax Center always sets us apart from the rest.” 

Wax specialist Kristyn Young says her customers praise the 

products and customer service offered at European Wax Center. 

“I hear a lot of positive things because the products that we use

calm and soothe all skin types, including our Skin Exclusive Comfort

pulls from the root of the hair,” said Kristyn. “At European Wax 

Center, we specialize in eyebrows, it is not an add on service.” 

Customers say that they have seen amazing results from European 

Wax Center. 

“I’ve been going there for 9 months, and I’ve had great results. 

I have never been burned or hurt; they are good at making you 

feel comfortable and at following procedures. I go for an eyebrow 

wax about every three weeks and the more I go, the less hair I 

get. I always have a great experience with their staff. They are always 

smiling. I would recommend European Wax Center in Delray 

Beach to anyone,” said customer Nicole Goss, who also brings 

her husband and children for the waxing experience.

Soul Mate 

Connection 

Sea Quest 

Offers Unique Couples Therapy 

By Nicol jenkiNS 


{In every relationship, couples may experience rough waters along the way 

and that is the time when couples can benefit most from therapy. Even 

couples that think their relationship is okay, can often be enriched and 

deepened by learning new communication skills. 

Unlike an intimidating office environment, 

Soul Mate Connection offers a 

unique opportunity for couples to navigate 

to a new, healthier relationship. Instead of 

coming to an office, the couple will relax 

on Carmella, a 58-foot sailing yacht on the 


beautiful waters of Palm Beach. During the 

getaway couples will be immersed in intensive 

therapy. A 15 foot Herreshoff 12.5 sailboat 

and a 14-foot motorized dinghy are 

available for side excursions. In this relaxing 

but intensive environment, a couple can 

Gerda, Richard, and First Mate Mamba 

radically shift their way of thinking about 

their relationship. Couples will spend their 

nights on Carmella and enjoy delicious cuisine 

prepared by Carmella’s chef. 

This creative course gives couples a 

chance to have a truly effective transformational 

experience. Two couples will receive 

8 hours of intensive therapy in just 3 days, 

which would normally take 2 months of office 

visits. They will also have a chance to enjoy 

the option of water sports, fine cuisine, 

and alone time. Gerda Anna Muyen LCSW, 

a licensed psychotherapist, will create a 

therapeutic approach tailored to the client’s 

needs. She has over 20 years of experience 

working with individuals, couples, and families. 

In the first 10 years of her career she 

worked as a child therapist. This experience 

was crucial to her seeing how childhood 

patterns survive and cause stress in adult 

relationships. She is an EFT trained couples 

therapist and has her office in Delray Beach. 

“We marry our childhood problems. We 

are attracted to our spouse because of these

Calming Rough Waters 

issues, but inevitably this will trigger conflict, and the couple 

ends up in a “survival dance”. Once they understand each other’s 

childhood experiences, the partners are better able to see 

how they are affecting their current relationship,” said Gerda. 

After studying and practicing different therapy methods, 

Gerda has come to favor Emotional Focus Therapy. During 

sessions the couples will create a deeper connection by 

looking into each other’s eyes, exploring their childhood, discussing 

their dreams for the relationship, and “visiting” each 

other’s worlds. 

They discover that the perception of their relationship is 

much more colored by their own childhood experiences and 

the couple learns to communicate and create relational maturity. 

From the “fight and flight” reactive behavior, the couple 

learns how to become more responsive and empathetic to each 

other’s sensitivities. 

The Soul Mate Connection has soothed the rough waters for 

couples. The following are two such testimonials: 

“We wanted to thank you for our amazing weekend. It truly 

was filled with relaxation, love, and learning. We learned and 

loved learning about reconnecting and tools to use every day. We 

loved experiencing the sailboat and just having fun. We enjoyed 

both of you and want you to know how fulfilling it was! Thank 

you again for your hospitality, incredible knowledge and a weekend 

that we will always remember,” said Brad and Yvonne. 

“My partner and I have a great relationship and I was a bit 

concerned that this course wouldn’t be for us. Still, I was lured 

by the sailing and the organic food, and weekend just for us. 

The seminar aboard Carmella exceeded my expectations. Professional 

therapist, charming, friendly, knowledgeable captain, 

fabulous food, beautiful boat, and amazing environment 

to learn and connect. I highly recommend this course for any 

couple regardless of where they are in their relationship,” said 

Barbara and Steve. 

Both Gerda and Richard find an inner reward in being able to 

help couples build healthier relationships. 

“For me it’s a pleasure to watch the transformation from the 

beginning to the end of the weekend. The results are so visible: 

the couples are more affectionate and become better listeners,” 

said Richard. 

Come take your relationship in a better direction on Carmella.

office, contact Gerda at: 561-596-9355 or www.sailyachtcarmella.com.

Hyaluronic Fillers: These include Juvederm, 

Restylane, Voluma, and Belotero. These fillers 

are composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance 

normally found in the skin. It is processed in 

the lab and not derived from animals like its 

predecessor collagen (therefore no prior allergy 

testing is needed). The improvements can 

last 4-12 months depending on how much is 

injected and the location. 

Radiesse: This filler is composed of calciumbased 

microspheres that can last 6-12 months 

depending on the location and the amount 

injected. This product is great for cheekbones, 

jawlines and the hands.

Non-Surgical Options for 

Looking Younger 

By Robyn Siperstein, Md 

{Aging gracefully sounds good until it actually 

happens to you. Neuromodulators and fillers 

offer the opportunity to look 5-10 years 

younger without using surgery or altering the 

natural appearance of your face. 

photo by Ryan Murphy 

Neuromuscular Modulators 

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are neuromuscular 

modulators that reduce the frown lines 

between the brows, wrinkles in the forehead, 

and wrinkles around the eyes. They are naturally 

occurring proteins which safely relax the 

muscles in which they are placed. This is done 

in a way to keep your natural expression and 

features but reduce wrinkling. It takes just a 

few minutes and can last 3-4 months. 

Injectable Collagen Stimulators 

“Fillers” 

Fillers are injectable collagen stimulators 

that are great for fine lines and moderate to 

severe wrinkles. However, in the last few years 


most cosmetic dermatologists have been getting 

away from filling just lines and instead 

using volume to restore the proportions of the 

face, creating a more youthful look. When you 

inject filler in the proper place on the cheek it 

can lift it up and decrease the smile lines below. 

If you fill in front of the ear, it can lift the 

corner of the mouth and smooth the jawline. 

There are three main types of fillers (which 

are further outlined below) and your cosmetic 

dermatologist will determine which is right 

for you. At Siperstein Dermatology Group we 

offer complimentary consultations with a 

computerized facial analysis system to provide 

a visual aid in highlighting our customized 

recommendations for you.

New Advances in Cosmetic Dermatology 

In the last few years almost all of the companies producing injectables 

started to add a numbing agent to the fillers that significantly 

reduces the need for additional pain relief, though topical numbing 

cream and dental blocks can also be used. 

Additionally, over the past few years a new tool for injection has 

come onto the market that causes less bruising. It is called a canulla 

and it looks like a needle except the tip has a blunt end and is not 

sharp. A needle is used to puncture the skin but then the cannula is 

inserted. Since the cannula has a blunt end it is much less likely to 

cut through blood vessels and cause bleeding under the skin which 

is what causes the bruising. 

The most recent non-surgical advances over the past year are fat 

dissolvers and dissolvable thread lifts. Kybella, an injectable fat dissolver, 

is FDA approved to reduce fat under the chin (also called a 

double chin). Multiple treatments are needed, however there is no 

downtime beyond possible minimal swelling and bruising. 

Silhouette Lift and Nova PDO are both dissolvable thread lifts 

that are also collagen stimulating. They are inserted along the jawline, 

cheeks, and neck in order to lift areas of sagging skin. While 

they do not achieve the results of surgery, the benefits are very limited 

downtime with only the slight possibility of minimal bruising 

and swelling. The results last for 6-18 months.

Oxygen Rescue Care 

Centers of America 

A powerful method of having people overcome their disabilities 

By Martin LenkowskY 


{It’s nothing out of the ordinary for Raymond Cralle, a registered physical 

therapist, to receive a phone call or text message from superstar NFL 

players, military leaders, or even multi-billion dollar industry executives. 

However, one thing’s for certain; each 

and every message shares the same common 

denominator: words of deepest gratitude 

for the new lease on life Cralle has afforded 

them. 

Cralle’s office, located at 525 NE 3rd 

Ave in Delray Beach, is not your ordinary 

physical therapy and rehab center; it’s better 

known as a hyperbaric oxygen therapy 

(HBOT) facility. Cralle, who specializes in 

neuro-rehabilitation as well as sports-injury 

rehab and has been practicing physical 

therapy for 40 years, is a world-renowned 

expert in administering HBOT to both 

adults and children suffering from myriad 


Raymond Cralle/HBO Chamber 

injuries and illnesses. 

A former Vietnam-era Marine Corps veteran, 

Cralle has done extensive work with 

disabled veterans showing positive results. 

He’s treated many former special forces 

soldiers suffering from repeated “blast exposure,” 

including Navy Seals. “They get 

so impaired,” he said. “There’s something 

unique about blast exposure. It’s different 

than any other type of injury.” 

He said the HBOT he provides - along 

with standard physical therapy when needed 

- has shown remarkable results. “Within 

40 treatments they have massive changes 

in their cognition,” he said, adding blast 

exposure injuries along with the resulting 

post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 

takes its toll on veterans. “Twenty two to 

25 veterans a day are killing themselves. 

The main reason is blast exposure, especially 

with the special operations (OPS) 

guys,” Cralle said. 

Thus far, he’s helped many of these veterans 

improve their cognitive function and 

return to normal productive lives. “We’re 

hell-bent to show we can help people,” he 

said. 

Cralle has been invited to address veterans 

groups in Florida and Washington D.C. 

“I’m the only center in the U.S. being paid 

by the V.A.,” he said. “I’m an old Marine. I 

want this available to soldiers. A lot of my 

work for veterans is pro bono.” 

HBOT is also administered by Cralle to 

sports figures. “I treat high-level athletes 

with hyperbaric therapy,” he said. “We get 

pretty high profile patients from all around 

the world,” he said, showing this writer a 

“thank you” text message he had received 

from a well-known, Pro-Bowl, NFL wide 

receiver. 

With increasing scrutiny these days by 

both the NFL and the media on the large 

number of concussions suffered by football 

players, Cralle points to HBOT as a valuable 

tool. “If hyperbaric oxygen therapy is given 

within three hours post injury,” he said, 

“you limit the damage of a concussion.” 

And how does HBOT work? As Cralle explains, 

hyper means “above,” and “ baric” 

means pressure. When administered this 

type of therapy, a patient is given 100 percent 

oxygen under an amount of pressure

Charles Barreca Certified Hyperbaric Tech Discuss operations 

for a prescribed period of time and number of treatments. A 

common dose is 20 to 40 treatments. 

“By administering oxygen under pressure, you push more of 

it into plasma, the water part of blood,” he said. “That increases 

the concentration of oxygen being received by the body. The 

patient then produces their own more virile stem cells. This is 

the only non-invasive way to get more virile stem cells.” 

New virile stem cells provide powerful anti-inflammatory 

as well as anti-aging benefits for the body. Cralle, a very tall 

(6-foot-6), spry, young-looking 75-year-old has administered 

hyperbaric oxygen therapy to himself, his wife, and his children. 

“And I have no aches or pains,” he said. 

Traditionally, hospitals utilize HBOT as a method of wound 

care. Cralle does not treat wounds at his facility, because he 

does not want to run the risk of spreading infections. 

“I’m using hyperbaric oxygen in an off-label way,” he said. 

He treats athletic, neurological injuries and illnesses, including 

traumatic brain injury, strokes, Parkinson’s and multiple 

sclerosis. 

Near drowning accidents are a tragic, not uncommon occurrence 

here in Florida, and Cralle said he treats many of these 

patients whose families were warned their chances of recovery 

were nil. “They were told they should be organ donors,” 

Cralle said, “and now many are functioning normally. I have 

a powerful method of having people overcome their disabilities.” 

Because HBOT is considered a relatively new method of 

treatment, it has only been approved by Medicare – and some 

insurance companies - for fourteen impairments. Cralle says 

many of his patients are self-paying. Treatments start at $250 

each, and go down to $210 depending on the number of treatments. 

Packages of 10, 20, 30, or 40 treatments are offered. 

The office provides free consultations.

Three’s a charm for Neal deJesus. 

The 34-year veteran of Fire Rescue and Emergency Medical 

Services is on his third round as Fire Chief of a major city in Florida. 

The six-foot head of the Delray Beach Fire Department 

got an early start. At the age of 18 he was as a firefighter 

in Sarasota County and from there he headed to 

Coral Gables. His rise through the ranks was as impressive 

as his physical stature and diplomatic excellence. 

“I was a Firefighter Paramedic, Driver Engineer, 

Lieutenant Captain, Battalion Commander, Division 

Chief, Assistant Chief and Deputy Fire Chief before 

I retired as Fire Chief,” said the imposing master of 

leadership and discipline. 

This litany of accomplishments is nothing compared 

to the rest of Chief deJesus’s titles and affiliations. 

Though too numerous to mention (it would take 

a horse and wagon to collect titles and organizations) 

his presence and policies rival those you see on stage 

and the silver screen. 

After retiring in 2006 Chief deJesus became a City 

Commissioner and President of The Diversified Group 

Consulting. But it wasn’t long before he got the itch to 

return to the roots of his passion. “I became the Fire 

Chief and Executive Director of the Broward Sheriff’s 

Office Fire Rescue and Emergency Services.” Though 

he retired from this lofty position in 2013, his foot 

was firmly planted in organizations, committees and 

leagues that guarantee excellence in safety, efficiency, 

legislation, training and education. 

Life changed again for this fearless fighter of justice 

and safety last March. It was then that the City of Delray 

hired him as their new Fire Chief. In his new position 

Chief deJesus has taken the reigns as the top leader in 

a battalion of soldiers whose only job is to keep us safe. 

Whether it is a fire, medical emergency, equipment, 

mentoring, education or day-to-day operations, it is the 

Chief who makes sure everyone is in for a soft landing. 

“I love leading and making a difference. We are professional 

firefighters and paramedics. We must look professional, 

act professional and know what we’re doing. 

Would you want someone mediocre saving your life?” 

The answer is clearly no. But you don’t have to worry 

about mediocrity when Chief deJesus is in charge. 

He’s the hero you see in the movies (carrying people 

out of burning buildings) and the one you imagine 

calling the shots in “Top Gun.” 

But that’s not his primary motivation. Chief deJesus 

doesn’t look for accolades or credits on screen - or 

in life. He just does what comes naturally to him. “My 

number one objective is to leave this place better than it 

was yesterday. I ask myself, ‘is this going to make the organization 

better or more effective? In this job you can’t 

afford to be complacent – this game is for real.” 

What’s more real (other than the chief’s goals and 

dedication) is that there were 97 fires in Delray since 

January. Whether it’s putting out flames from a car fire, 

electrical fire or lightening the Chief is never far away. 

He’s on call 24/7 and when he’s not in meetings or at 

the station he’s visiting the other fire stations in Delray. 

When most of us are counting sheep (or deep in slumber) 

the Chief has one eye open. “I work seven days a 

week and am always on call. I keep the phone next to 

my nightstand and if it’s a police or fire related emergency 

I get a call. Just last night I received six calls.” 

When asked if the calls keep him up at night, the Chief 

seems to go with the flow with little annoyance. Perhaps 

it seems sanguine compared to his daily routine at the 

station. A typical day starts with a 7am Command Staff 

meeting, a Senior Management Team meeting, training 

meeting, lunch with a city agency, afternoon meeting, 

and may end with a city commission meeting. It’s not 

unusual for him to have 11 meetings in one day. 

But that doesn’t bother the Chief, whose passion is saving 

lives, leading his team, and making sure those who 

need his department’s services are well taken care of. 

Chief deJesus’s career trajectory was partly influenced 

by his father Michael who retired as a policeman 

in NY and then moved the family to Hialeah. “My 

father raised me with love, fear and respect (not necessarily 

in that order).” 

His theory of leadership is one of leading by example. 

It’s not uncommon for him to respond to an 

emergency (or fire) by working alongside his firefighters 

and EMT staff. He knows a lot hangs on the balance 

in his line of work and makes sure the buck stops 

88 


with him. “To whom much is given much is 

expected. I have a great responsibility. My 

decisions have the potential to affect life and 

death - I don’t take that lightly.” 

When it comes to his lighter side domesticity 

takes the lead. When asked what his greatest 

accomplishment is, his core softens and 

he smiles, “Being a good husband and father.” 

Chief deJesus’s wife Lourdes is the love 

of his life and he uncharacteristically melts 

a little when he mentions granddaughter 

Daniela and daughter-in-law Karey. He also 

has two sons firefighter Anthony and Alec 

(who’s in high school). 

If you’re wondering if the Chief has any 

time for casual acquaintances or leisurely 

lunches you probably know the answer. But 

when the time allows (or the wind moves 

him) he and Lourdes hop on their beloved 

motorcycle and head to places like South 

Dakota or Key West to attend biking events. 

But rest assured Chief deJesus is a man 

on a mission - one that seems to rival those 

on CSI or the pages of Jason Bourne. “Everything 

needs a plan and a focus. The staff has 

to know I care for them and the organization 

behind them. It’s about making the organization 

great for all, it’s not about me. If we 

don’t succeed I don’t succeed.” 

Fear not.

OFF THE AVE FOOD & SPIRITS 

Is Off The Charts With Great Food And Drink 

By Diane Feen 

Photos by melissa korman 

{Neighborhood restaurants are becoming harder to find 

these days. Not because we don’t like the genre, but because 

time marches on and with it brings changes of all stripes. 

Cajun Shrimp Tacos 

Though gentrification is part of our culture, 

we all yearn to come home (or feel at home). 

That’s the sole reason that Off The Ave coowner 

Adam Knoblock has spent so much 

time making sure his restaurant seals in the 

greatness of flavor with the greatness of a 

small town feel. 

There are no dainty chandeliers and no 

pomp and circumstance. Clearly what you 

see is what you get. And that’s a good thing. 

There are nine large flat screen TVs that 

bare it all – mostly sporting events. There’s 

also a dart board in the back with wood 

tables and reclaimed wood walls to seal in 

a homey vibe. 

Most of the customers are happy with this 

laidback atmosphere and even happier that 

you can get the Pittsburg Steelers score before 

the time of day or weather report. 


Authentic Pittsburgh potato & cheese Pierogi 

Meatball sub with housemade potato salad 

That’s just the way Knoblock likes it. “We 

created the quintessential small town feel 

right in the heart of Delray Beach. Off The 

Ave is warm and friendly with a comfortable 

laidback vibe. People come up to me all the 

time and say, ‘I love this place. I’m so glad I 

found it, it’s a hidden gem,’” said Knoblock, 

who changes the food and selection of craft 

beers frequently. 

Though change is often a good thing, there 

is one thing that Knoblock refuses to compromise 

on, and that’s fresh homemade (and 

handmade) food. The burgers – one of the 

crown jewels of this neighborhood haunt – 

are hand formed and made with top quality 

Angus Beef. They’re juicy and made fresh to 

order so there’s no disputing the excellence of 

this American culinary mainstay. Our favorite 

is the half pound Blackened Bacon Blue Burger 

made with fresh grilled bacon, crumbled 

blue cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo. 

If you’re not in a burger frame of mind 

there are other menu items to choose from. 

One of our favorites is the new Cajun Shrimp 

Tacos. Made with corn tortillas and Cajun 

spiced shrimp they are moored by a delicious 

fresh Cabbage slaw, Green onions and 

Cilantro drizzled with Chipotle ranch. The 

Tacos are a new addition to the menu and to 

the spirit of the vibe of OTA. You can also get 

Pulled Pork or Blackened Mahi Tacos if the 

flavors move you. 

One of the newest items on the menu are 

Flatbread Pizzas. Light and tasty they’re in 

harmony with Knoblock’s decision to lighten 

up the mood with Mexican-inspired delicacies. 

We loved “The Greek,” with Feta Cheese, 

Green Peppers, Red Onions, Kalamata Olives 

and tomato with homemade Tzatziki sauce. 

Each order comes with three tacos and are 

filled with assorted flavors that waft through 

your palate and perk up your senses. Try one 

with a ice cold Craft Beer like Copper Point or 

UFO and we guarantee you’ll be ushered into 

a taste laden euphoria. 

We did. We also highly recommend the 

new cheese and potato Pierogis that are 

flown in from Pittsburgh especially for OTA. 

“I had people making Pierogis for me from all 

over and the best ones were made in Pittsburgh. 

It makes sense since we are the official 

home to the Pittsburgh Steelers,” said Knoblock, 

whose customer’s relish the team spirit 

and sports themed camaraderie. 

Lisa Goudreau is one OTA enthusiast. “This 

is an amazing place! Everything I’ve had at 

OTA has been amazing! The Burgers are the 

best, Fries and Onion Rings are delicious and 

the Cheese Steak is amazing. I get something 

different every time and my boyfriend orders 

the same thing - The Cuban Sandwich! You 

must go, you will not be disappointed!” 

If you ask Michelle Darrisaw what she 

thinks you’ll hear the same exclamation 

point enthusiasm. “I had eaten lunch already, 

but when I saw the Meatball Sub with Cheese 

it looked so delicious I couldn’t resist devouring 

it right away. It made my mouth water it 

was so good.” 

Knoblock seems happy with all the accolades 

bestowed upon his intimate barrestaurant 

that beckons one to stop and hit 

the refresh button. That’s why he added BBQ 

Chicken Flatbread pizza and continues the 

tradition of handmade Meatball Sandwiches 

with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese 

on a pan-roasted bun. 

A commitment to quality is the hallmark 

of Knoblock’s mission. “We specialize in 

comfort food made fresh to order. Nothing 

The Greek flatbread pizza 

sits around here.” 

Off The Ave also has a selection of healthy 

Salads that come with ham, turkey, grilled 

or blackened chicken, Mahi or blackened 

Shrimp. The French Dip is also a favorite with 

Swiss Cheese and Bourbon-braised onions 

with horseradish sauce. 

The Happy Hour - from 3 to 7pm - rings in 

the cheers with half price nibbles, $5 Tito’s 

Vodka, $4 Captain Morgan Rum, $1 off draft 

and bottled beers, and $6 Svedka Vodka. 

They also have 14 Craft Beers that change 

with the season. 

There’s also a new dessert that will peak 

your palate – The S’more Lava Cake. This indulgent 

treat is made with Graham Cracker 

Crust, Melted Marshmallow filling and Chocolate 

Ganache with Ice Cream. 

If you’re looking to bask in the Florida sunshine 

and watch the reverie of travelers from 

near and far sit at one of their five outdoor 

tables. It’s a great way to meet new folks or 

celebrate with your Besties. 

If you want to hunker down in an intimate 

neighborhood restaurant-bar that welcomes 

your persona and cheers your sports 

proclivity, stop by Off the Ave and enjoy the 

fare and fanfare.

Recipe 

Spinach Quiche 

{With temperatures at their coldest across the USA, now is the ideal 

time for hale and hardy vegetables like spinach. Don’t be afraid to 

get hot and heavy with yours: spinach is one of the only vegetables 

that is actually more nutrient-rich after it has been cooked. 

ingredients (makes 4 servings) 

preparation 

• 1 ready-made pie crust 

• 3 tablespoons butter 

• 1 small onion, chopped 

• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, 

thawed and drained 

• 1 garlic clove pressed 

• 6 eggs 

• 1 cup milk 

• 2 cups shredded colbymonterey 

jack cheese 

• salt and pepper 

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Press pie crust into 9” pie pan, and pre bake crust for 10 minutes, 

then set aside. Sautee onion, garlic, and spinach in butter until onion is soft - add salt and pepper 

to taste - set aside. In medium mixing bowl - whisk together the eggs and milk. Spread shredded 

cheese in bottom of pie crust. Spread spinach mixture over cheese in pie crust. Pour egg and milk 

mixture over spinach and cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. If crust starts to get too 

brown - cover edges with tin-foil. Slice & serve.

As the 2017 arrives, many of us make 

New Year resolutions to achieve 

a more organized, happier and 

healthier lifestyle for ourselves. 

We’re so caught up in our own hectic 

routines, we sometimes fail to see that our 

pets can get also get into a slump. 

Let’s analyze the situation as an advocate 

for your pet. 

Do you work all day? Is your pet left at 

home alone for numerous hours to fend 

for themselves? Some are left to roam 

about the house freely. Some are restricted 

to a crate. 

When you arrive home, do you notice 

their greeting of wagging tails, unconditional 

love and anxious enthusiasm for 

parental acknowledgement? Remember 

they have been sedentary in your absence 

and now it’s their time! Show them the 

love and attention that they deserve. 

We all love our furry four-legged babies 

however; even when we think we are doing 

the best we can for them, there can be 

inconspicuous signs of neglect. 

The ramifications can be detrimental to 

their health. Is your pet obese, have liver 

and kidney problems, behavioral problems 

and other health challenges? How 

did they get that way? 

ask the petXpert 

It’s a New Year…shouldn’t our 

PETs deserve a fresh sTART too? 

Along with your love, all pets need to 

have regular physical activity and a regimen 

of proper nutrition. Once you apply 

this, these creatures of habit will adapt 

more easily than a human. This can actually 

enable pet owners to stick to their 

own resolutions for themselves as well for 

a healthier lifestyle. 

Walking or running with your pet and 

games of fetch are a must. Proper grooming 

is also very important, specifically for 

the eyes, ears, teeth, and nails. 

Healthy treats, along with naturally unprocessed 

foods, herbs and clean air and 

water are essential. 

The main message here is that disease 

free longevity starts with a healthy lifestyle. 

We only have control of our air within 

our confines via purification. Same is 

true of our water. The greatest impact we 

have is through the foods we feed our pets. 

We control it! Let’s make the best of it. 

Let’s play mad scientist. For 1-4 weeks, 

try putting out 3 entrees for your pet, 

what they currently eat, cooked real food 

and raw real food. Did their eating habits 

change? If so, what food did they migrate 

to? Remember that all these foods should 

be at the same temperature (room). 

All creatures including us and our pets 

These pets are available for adoption 

are anatomically and physiologically 

unique. When we examine these characteristics, 

it gives us the insight as to how the 

body will perform and the types of foods 

that are required. Our pet dogs and cats 

are carnivores. Their digestive systems do 

not produce enzymes that break down carbohydrates 

and metabolize them properly. 

The inappropriate foods cause the body 

to treat this digestion in an unnatural way 

that creates challenges like diabetes, pancreatitis, 

allergies and gastric issues. 

Let us help you get your pets from challenged 

to healthy and then on to optimal. 

There are many articles in the archives of 

this magazine with healthy tips and subjects 

that will further your understanding 

and knowledge of what your pets’ real 

needs are. Let’s make this the year of the 

healthiest pets!

Get Those Girls Up 

The Importance of a Sports Bra and Other Etiquette at the Gym 

By Sherri Parisi Richie 

{ 

A healthy lifestyle can start at the gym. Lifting weights, taking a spin 

class, walking on the treadmill or practicing Pilates are excellent ways 

to get fit, feel better and of course, look better too. 

With an abundance of gyms around town, 

there is a right one for every fitness level. January, 

spring, and the fall have noticeable increases 

in gym membership as new converts attempt 

to tackle the bulge. Unfortunately, for seasoned 

gymrats and newbies alike, many gym goers don’t 

follow basic gym etiquette. This lack of etiquette 

can make working out at the gym an uncomfortable 

experience. Following these seven guidelines 

will have you sweating in style without compromising 

your manners. 

A Sports Bra is a Must for Every Boob 

A cup, B cup, C cup, double D cup. It doesn’t 

matter what your cup size is because if you are 

a woman and have boobs, a sports bra is a gym 

necessity. Sure those cute, fitted athletic tops with 

built-in bras provide support, but not enough 

support for the gym. When you work out on a 

machine, your boobs jiggle. As you bounce up and 

down in a step class, so do your boobs. When you 

bend over to lift weights off the rack, your boobs 

hang over too. Even surgically-enhanced bosoms 

need a sports bra at the gym. Exercise can be hard 

on your body and that goes double, no pun intended, 

for your “girls”. You’ll exercise more comfortably 

in a properly fitted sports bra and avoid 

flashing everyone at the gym. And while on the 

subject, beware of the white peep show. A sweaty 

white sports bra and top may reveal more than 

you want at the gym. 

Where’s Your Towel? You Left a Quarter 

of Your Body Weight on the Equipment 

Picking dirty and wet towels off the floor was 

something your mother probably taught you 

many years ago. Cleaning up after yourself was 

most likely another maternal gem of wisdom. The 

same lesson applies at the gym. Have a towel to 

sit on while using machines or benches. And for 

goodness sake, wipe your sweat away when done. 

While a quick swipe of a towel won’t do much for 

actually killing germs, at least the equipment 

won’t be sopping wet for the next user. 

Pipe Down - I Don’t Want to Hear 

Your Conversation 

Yes, we know, you are a Very Important Person. 

And yes, you must take that work call while 

pumping away on the elliptical machine. But must 

you blather on loudly so all the rest of us have no 

choice but to hear you? Here’s a quick and easy 

tip - if you have an important phone call to conduct, 

please conduct it outside or out of earshot. 

No one else cares whether you will be on the 

webinar at 5 p.m. or on the next flight to Dubai, 

not to mention that letting everyone know your 

whereabouts could also be a safety risk. An even 

easier fix to this etiquette faux pas is to leave your 

phone off the gym floor. If you are not one of the 

offending phone users at the gym, make sure you 

aren’t an iPod blaster either. Music tastes vary 

and the genius of earphones is that no one else 

has to listen to what you’re listening to. So turn 

the volume down if you notice the person next to 

you singing along with your Metallica song. 

Loud Grunts Don’t Help You 

Lift Heavier Weights 

Right along with loud conversations, another 

gym annoyance is the “Grunter”. Every gym has 

at least three or four grunters. You know the type. 

They usually are lifting too much weight and letting 

everyone in the building know about it as 

they grunt, groan, huff and yelp their way through 

their set. Here’s a novel idea - if the weight causes 

you to break a blood vessel, lighten 

your load, and lock your lips. 

Keep Your Eyeballs to 

Yourself Mister 

It’s hard not to notice all the 

toned and buff bodies around the 

gym. Gym attire might not leave 

much to the imagination, but even so, 

it’s not polite to stare, ogle, or drool. Some 

gymgoers might not be in the best shape, 

but kudos to them for toughing it out and working 

hard to get fit. Don’t stare at them either. Overtly 

obvious ogling is uncouth. So just don’t do it. 

Deodorant, Deodorant, 

Deodorant and Soap Too 

Oh my. When did it become okay to leave home 

smelling like a sewer? Never, is the correct answer. 

However, many people seem to think it is 

acceptable to show up smelly because they will 

soon be sweating it out at the gym anyway. If you 

have eaten lots of garlic, drank too much beer the 

night before, or recently had sex, you will smell 

like it at the gym and doubly so once your pores 

start working overtime. If in doubt of how bad 

you may smell before working out, go ahead with 

another application of deodorant or a quick, preworkout 

shower, it won’t hurt. 

Unless You’re Brad Pitt or a 

Personal Trainer, Back Off 

Lastly, when working out, it is best to keep 

your fitness advice to yourself unless it has been 

solicited. If you notice someone doing an exercise 

wrong, get a trainer to point out the correct approach. 

Most people don’t want to be pestered at 

the gym and even if you offer advice with good intentions, 

it may be taken the wrong way. So leave 

the training to the certified trainers.
