Welcome to the 

December issue 

of Atlantic Ave 

Magazine 

“December, being the last month of the year, cannot 

help but make us think of what is to come.” 

― Fennel Hudson 

December is the perfect month to dine al fresco on the Ave. 

The weather is perfect, and there is lots of people watching 

to enjoy. Need ideas on what to do? Nicol Jenkins has 

put together a few of the many Holiday activities for the entire family 

to enjoy in her article “Ring in the Holidays in Delray Beach.” 

Love holiday cookies? Who doesn’t! How about making your favorite 

holiday cookies as cocktails? YUM! Look inside for a recipe 

page titled “Cookies as Cocktails” and try a Snickerdoodle or Sugar 

Cookie Martini. 

Our City Person this month is Marjorie Waldo, the President and 

CEO of the Arts Garage. She has amazing creative energy and will 

be strengthening the mission of the Arts Garage in music, theater, 

Community Outreach, and educational programming. 

While holiday shopping please remember what makes Delray a 

special place - our community, local people, and businesses. Shop 

local, dine local, and enjoy all that our beautiful City by the Sea 

has to offer. 

All of us at Atlantic Ave Magazine would like to wish you a wonderful 

holiday and a happy and safe New Year!

Old School Square 

Canvas and Cocktails 

Paint Party 

Dina Branham , the owner of Deluxe 

Properties, hosted a sold out Charity 

Fundraiser Event at, and for, Old School 

Square Creative Arts School on Oct. 20th. 

The proceeds benefit the Children’s Art 

Program. It was a successful fun evening 

of unleashing our inner “possibly 

hidden” talents, painting peacocks for 

charity! Pure unadulterated creative energy 

flowing and all for a good cause!

Old School Square’s Free Friday Concert 

for Haiti Raises Enough $$$ to 

Replace 16 Roofs in Jeremie, Haiti for 

Frank McKinney’s Caring House Project 

Foundation! 

Old School Square asked the community 

to help raise money for hurricane 

relief in Haiti… and the community delivered! 

The Free Friday Concert for Haiti, 

which took place on October 21st at the 

Pavilion raised $6,562.34 in donations, 

shattering the record for donations! The 

event featured opening performances 

by local Haitian vocalists and was headlined 

by pop-rock band Chemradery. 

The donation total was announced at the 

November 2nd Free Friday Concert. 

Through a partnership with Delray 

Beach resident and international bestselling 

author and” philanthro-capitalist,” 

Frank McKinney, all funds raised 

during the October 21st concert will 

be directed to his Caring House Project 

Foundation’s work in Jeremie, Haiti. 

“Our Caring House Project Foundation 

was founded in 1998 right here in Delray 

Beach, and we’re honored to have CHPF 

as the beneficiary of Old School Square’s 

fundraising effort,” says McKinney. “The 

funds raised will be used to replace 16 

roofs that were torn off homes in our 

villages in Jeremie where we lost 450+ 

roofs. CHPF has built 8 self-sufficient villages 

in Jeremie since 2007, that’s over 

3,600 children and their families whose 

lives were affected.” (www.frank-mckinney.com) 

One of Dina’s favorite inspirational 

quotes that led her to host this event was 

“All children are artists. The problem is 

how to remain an artist once he grows 

up.”, Pablo Picasso. 

Special Thank you to all who attended, 

Sharon Morgan, Director of the Creative 

Arts School for putting it together and 

being the contest judge and also the instructor 

for the night, Sharon Koskoff 

who made it entertaining and a blast. 

Stay Tuned for the next event date! 

We will be doing this again soon.

Crane’s Beach House 

Boutique Hotel & Luxury 

Villas Combines their 

15th Anniversary with its 

5th Annual BEST BITE 

Restaurant Competition 

Cathy Balestriere, general manager of 

Crane’s Beach House Boutique Hotel & 

Luxury Villas, announced that the popular, 

boutique vacation spot hosted 200 hungry 

friends and fans at its fifth annual BEST 

BITE restaurant competition, which was 

combined with the hotel’s festive 15th Anniversary 

Celebration. 

The event was held throughout the 

tranquil hotel, around both beach-like 

swimming pools and the two large Tiki 

Huts stocked with an array of tropical exotic 

drinks, wines and both domestic and 

imported beer. Live jazz music, a color 

guard and special guests were all part of 

the happy and satisfying celebration. 

For the third year in a row, the winning 

eatery was Caffe Luna Rosa. The restaurant’s 

appetizing entry was Florida Yellowtail 

Snapper with a Crab Crust Topped 

with Shrimp in a Saffron Cream Sauce. 

Tim Finnegan’s Irish Pub was the runner-up 

with their Chicken Curry, and Pizza 

Rustica came in third with Gourmet Pizza 

Bites. The other restaurant contenders 

were Che!!!, Papa’s Tapas, Patio Delray 

and Streb’s. 

As an added twist, this year’s BEST BITE 

was the finale of the HOW Foundation’s inaugural 

Dine for Veterans promotion. All 

seven restaurants had special food stations 

from which they offered a variety of tasty 

goodies as they competed for a brand new 

title: BEST BITE FOR THE VETS. 

$10 from the $15pp admission fee was 

split evenly between two patriotic nonprofit 

organizations based in Delray Beach: 

+ HOW Foundation of South Florida, 

which increases awareness about the 

medicinal benefits of hyperbaric oxygen 

therapy (HBOT) and raises supplementary 

funds for helping wounded warriors 

and other individuals receive treatment 

for HBOT not typically covered by insurance.

www.HOWFoundationSF.org. 

+ Project Holiday, which supports local 

families who have loved ones serving in 

the armed forces around the world.

All-Star Smiles Foundation 

Donated More Than $100K 

In Dental Care For Children 

In Need 

The All-Star Smiles Foundation, a partnership 

between Spodak Dental Group 

and Marlins All-Star fielder Giancarlo 

Stanton, celebrates “All-Star Smiles Day” 

which took place on Friday, October 28, 

2016 in which almost 100 children received 

free dental care. The children 

are students of Marlins Ayudan Partner 

School Lenora B. Smith Elementary School 

in Liberty City, Fl. 

“This mission is very important to me, 

as a person’s smile tells his or her entire 

All-Star Smiles Treatment Day 

story,” said Giancarlo Stanton. “Two years 

ago when I broke my jaw, Dr. Spodak took 

incredible care of me, and more importantly, 

gave me back my smile. All-Star 

Smiles Foundation is now able to help 

children who otherwise couldn’t access 

this type of dental care, and that is what 

we are here for.” 

“Tooth decay is largely preventable, 

but remains the number one reason why 

a child will visit the emergency room or 

miss school,” said Dr. Craig Spodak, of Spodak 

Dental Group. “To see the smiles on 

these kids’ faces after being treated in our 

facility is the most rewarding thing for our 

team members.” 

The mission of All-Star Smiles is to 

eradicate the disease of childhood tooth 

decay. The vision of the organization is to 

provide a safe and comfortable dental experience, 

at no cost, to underserved children, 

many of whom are receiving dental 

care for the first time in their lives. All- 

Star Smiles will also provide dental care 

services to even more children in need 

throughout the U.S. through the use of our 

Dental Bus Tour and affiliate partners. 

While the structure of All-Star Smiles 

Foundation has been formed, tax-exempt 

status is currently pending.

by local schools, artists and businesses 

and modeled by prominent Palm Beach 

County men. 

According to Jessica Rosato, President 

of the Greater Palm Beach County 

WCR, “Bras for a Cause was more than I 

ever imagined it could be. The event was 

a huge success because of everyone who 

came together to make this possible, and 

for of all of their generosity. To have the 

support of so many people and organizations 

was truly overwhelming and so 

incredible. I thank everyone for making 

the event such a great success. I love being 

part of the Women’s Council of Realtors 

and I loved being able to partner with 

the American Cancer Society, a cause near 

and dear to my heart. The models rocked 

the runway and everyone really had a fun 

evening at Old School Square. Stay tuned 

for next October when we do it all again!”

fell in love with the village-by-the-sea and 

never left. I grew up in a small town in Michigan. 

Previously, I’ve worked in the publishing 

industry that took me away to NY for a short 

period and I also have an extensive background 

in managing and listing bank owned properties, 

and as a real estate transaction coordinator. It’s 

the love I have for Delray Beach and that ‘small 

town’ feeling it provides that prompted me to 

join Deluxe Properties as an Office Administrator 

and Sales Associate. A boutique brokerage 

with a “hospitality mentality” in the heart of 

Delray that goes that extra mile for their clients. 

I think I bring a unique, positive personality to 

the Delray Beach real estate scene which blends 

perfectly with Deluxe and their high standard of 

service. My passions include the arts, creativity, 

traveling and when I’m not busy hunting down 

that perfect house you’ll find me gardening and 

renovating my old 1939 Pineapple Grove home 

or in the South Florida animal rescue community, 

volunteering as a foster for dogs and puppies 

and helping to place them in new loving homes. 

Please come in and visit us at Deluxe Properties.

My name is Gerri Dalzell and I’m the owner 

of Pilateda a new anti-aging approach to 

fitness in Delray. I recently moved here 

from Studio City, L.A., where I owned and operated 

my own successful studio for over ten years. 

While studying at Balance Body University and 

building my business, I was training Cirque Du Soleil 

Acrobats, Victoria’s models, as well as injured 

dancers and 90-year-old cancer survivors, an 

eclectic mix for sure. I have been interested in fitness 

my whole life and as an athlete searched for a 

method that would carry my own body into aging 

gracefully without stressing my joints, and I came 

up with a program of low impact workouts designed 

to help people continue full mobility while 

gaining bone density and increased flexibility. I 

thrive at using everything in my arsenal. Pilates, 

breath, pace, intervals, GYROTONIC®, Power 

Plate, etc. Form is also important to me and I have 

a very developed eye to keep people progressing 

and safe. Compassion and humor are my trademarks 

and caring for whoever walks through my 

door. I think that is what keeps me wanting to 

grow and continue working in this field. Pilateda 

is now in the “Delray Center for Healing” and accepting 

new clients for privates. Hope to meet you 

soon. EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE!

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 December for $50 or less. 

It’s the best time of 

the year again! Parties, 

sweaters, special 

tasty concoctions, 

decorations and spreading 

holiday cheer. 

You’ve all been seeing 

the action at Old 

School Square and the 

time is finally here to 

enjoy it in all of its glory! 

The National Christmas 

Tree Lighting Ceremony 

is held in D.C. on December 1 

and we are lighting our famous 100 ft. 

Christmas Tree the same night. The Ceremony 

is one of the largest and most 

celebrated holiday events in Palm Beach 

County and thousands of people fill the 

streets to kick-start their holiday season. 

Festivities begin at 5 p.m. with kids’ 

performances from local schools on the 

main stage, as well as “ice skating,” train 

rides, carousel rides and a Putt’n Around 

mini golf course. There are also tons of 

sponsors and vendors along Pineapple 

Grove for you to peruse, but don’t miss 

Santa lighting the Tree at 7:15 p.m. He 

will also be available for photos after 

the tree lighting so make sure you’re 

ready to tell him how well you behaved 

all year. The Tree will be open every 

day through January 1 from 10 a.m. to 

9 p.m. (with the exception of 1 p.m. on 

Christmas Day and New Year’s Day) and 

there’s only a $1 suggested donation to 

visit inside. The 100 ft. Christmas Tree 

is located on the Old School Square Park, 

51 N. Swinton Ave. The event is free but 

there is a small fee for the activities. Visit 

www.100ftchristmastree.com or call 

(561) 279-1380 for more information. 

Gather your friends, add a pinch 

of fun, some delicious fare and a 

whole lot of festive and you’ve got 

the recipe for holiday success. Recipe for 

Greetings for the Holidays Week is held 

December 4 through 10 and what better 

time to go headfirst into the holiday 

season. Start your weekend off the nautical 

way with the 45th Annual Holiday 

Boat Parade on December 9. Hosted by 

the Boynton Beach CRA, boats will line 

up at the Lantana Bridge near Old Key 

Lime House at 6 p.m. and motor south 

along the Intracoastal to the C-15 canal. 

This is one of the best parades of the 

year because you’ve got a lot of happy 

Santas and Mrs. Clauses spreading holiday 

cheer. If you’re still in the mood for 

more holiday fun, grab a seat for the Delray 

Beach Holiday Parade on December 

10 at 6 p.m. You’ll have a chance to celebrate 

with a few thousand of your closest 

friends to the “A Rock and Roll Holiday” 

theme. The parade will begin on Atlantic 

Avenue and the Intracoastal and head 

west to the Fire Department. The Delray 

Beach Fire Department even pulled some 

strings to have Santa on their fire truck 

so make sure the kiddos are looking out! 

Visit www.catchboynton.com and www. 

mydelraybeach.com for information on 

the Holiday Boat Parade and the Holiday 

Parade, respectively. 


We can all get caught up in the buying and shopping 

of the holiday season, but let’s take this time to 

give presents that can actually change someone’s 

life. December is Safe Toys and Gifts Month and one of the 

best presents you can give someone is to enhance their 

quality of life. Thankfully for us, AVDA’s (Aid to Victims of 

Domestic Abuse) 17th Annual Race for Hope was rescheduled 

to Saturday, December 3 so lace up the sneakers because 

you’ve got a race to run. The race begins at Anchor 

Park at 7:30 a.m. and trails along A1A, which is the best 

backdrop for an early morning run. Entry fees range from 

$10-$30 and you are welcome to enjoy a 5K run or walk, 

or a 10K (if you’re feeling crazy), and there’s also a kid’s 

dash for the little guys. You can run happy knowing that all 

proceeds support AVDA’s programs and services to survivors 

of domestic abuse and their children. So not only can 

you race for a purpose, but you are able to give someone 

hope during the holiday season, which can be a bleak time 

for many of our neighbors. Anchor Park is located at 340 S. 

Ocean Blvd. Visit www.runsignup.com for more information 

and to register. 

We all have the right to be happy, healthy and safe, 

and the holiday season is no different. While there 

are parties galore and buffets of food available, we 

must be cognizant of those who aren’t so fortunate to indulge 

in the season. December is Universal Human Rights 

Month and since we are lucky enough to live in a city that 

cares about its locals, let’s take advantage of it! Empty 

Bowls Delray Beach, hosted by Old School Bakery and Old 

School Square, will benefit the Palm Beach County Food 

Bank. This unique event invites the public to “eat simply, 

so others can simply eat.” Potters create bowls, bakers provide 

rustic breads, and chefs donate hearty soups. Guests 

will share in a simple meal of bread and soup and will receive 

a hand-crafted bowl as a powerful reminder of all the 

empty bowls in the county! All proceeds benefit the Palm 

Beach County Food Bank to fight hunger in our community. 

So have an enjoyable meal with your friends, bask in 

the perfect weather, and be full of gratitude knowing that 

you helped others eat. The event is held Sunday, December 

4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Old School Square Park, 51 

N. Swinton Ave. and tickets are $25 per person. Visit www. 

oldschool.org or call (561) 243-7922 for more information 

and to purchase tickets. 

It’s almost that time of the year again when we are 

shocked we didn’t accomplish all we set our minds to, 

and realize we have another opportunity to hit the nail 

on the head for the New Year! It’s About Time Week is December 

25 through 31 and is the best time to make up your 

mind about your New Year’s resolutions. Some of the most 

common resolutions including losing weight, getting organized, 

spending less/saving more, and enjoying life to the 

fullest. These are all doable, people! Delray is chock full of 

places to accomplish all these New Year Resolutions. You can 

make 2017 the best yet, so just take a week to create your vision 

and then act on it. Champagne can be involved, too, just 

sayin’. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com for a complete 

list of local business listings and have a great New Year.

“Kidnap”Gotta See 

Halle Berry 

By skip sheffield 

December 2 

December starts out with a bang 

and a high-speed car chase as Halle 

Berry stars in “Kidnap.” Berry, who 

co-produced the project, plays single 

mom Karla McCoy, whose 10-year-old 

son Frankie (Sage Correa) is abducted 

in broad daylight from a city park. 

Karla becomes frustrated when the 

city seems unwilling to help. The cast 

includes Lew Temple, Chris McGinn, 

Malea Rose and Dana Gourner as the 

Deputy Sheriff. Spanish director Luis 

Prieto is at the helm. 


All manner of mayhem can happen 

at an “Office Christmas Party.” 

Jennifer Aniston stars as a stern 

CEO who wants to close the branch 

of her hard-partying brother (Jason 

Bateman). Bateman plans an epic 

office party to impress a new client 

who could save the branch. What could 

go wrong? Here’s a hint: screenwriter 

Jon Lucas also wrote “Bad Moms.” The 

cast includes T.J. Miller, Kate McKinnon, 

Randal Park and Olivia Munn. 

They only come out at night. 

“Nocturnal Animals” is a thriller 

starring Amy Adams as Susan, a woman 

who receives a book manuscript from 

the ex-husband Tony (Jake Gyllenhaal) 

she left 20 years ago. Susan begins to 

discover alarming similarities to her 

real situation, when a family vacation 

turned violent and deadly. Michael 

Shannon, Aaron Johnson, Isla Fisher 

and Armie Hammer co-star. Fashion 

designer Wrote and directed the 

screenplay, based on Austin Wright’s 

novel “Tony and Susan.” 


Here we go again. “Rogue One: A 

Star Wars Story” is set just before the 

action of the 1977 blockbuster. Felicity 

Jones as the heroic Jyn Erso, who leads 

a band of renegade resistance fighters 

to steal Death Star plan. George 

Lucas and Steven Spielberg disciple 

Gareth Edwards directs a large cast 

that includes Mads Mikkelson, Donnie 

Yen, Ben Mendelsohn, Alan Tudryk, 

Genevieve O’Reilly, Riz Ahmed, Forest 

Whitaker, Jimmy Smits and James Earl 

Jones as the voice of Darth Vader. 

“La-La Land” is set where else?, in 

Los Angeles. Emma Stone is Mia, an 

aspiring actress. Ryan Gosling is Sebastian, 

a struggling jazz pianist. Will 

L.A. and career pressures wreck the 

young lovers? Damien Chazelle 

wrote and directed, with music 

by John Legend. Finn Wittrock, 

J.K. Simmons, Sonoya 

Mizano and Rosemary De- 

Witt co-star. 

Get all fuzzy and 

touchy-feely with Will 

Smith in “Collateral 

Beauty.” Smith is a successful 

New York advertising 

executive whose 

world falls apart after a 

personal tragedy. While 

concerned friends try to 

cheer him, Smith writes 

letters to Love (played 

by Keira Knightly), Time 

and Death. Sounds heavy. 

The friends include Helen 

Mirren, Edward Norton, Michael Pena 

and Naomie Harris. David Frankel, best 

known for “Marley and Me,” directs. 


If you can’t get enough science fiction, 

you’re in luck. “Passengers” 

combines space travel with romance. 

Jim (Chris Pratt) and Aurora (Jennifer 

Lawrence) are passengers on a huge 

spaceship bound to start a new life on 

a distant planet. Uh-oh, their hibernation 

pods malfunction and awake 

them 90 years before they are to reach 

their destination. As the couple inevitably 

falls in love, they discover the 

spaceship is in deep trouble. It is up to 

them to save the lives of 5,000 sleeping 

passengers. The story is by Jon 

Spaights, who wrote “Dr. Strange” and 

“Prometheus.” 


Father doesn’t always know best. 

“Why Him?” pits loving but over protective 

dad, Ned Fleming (Bryan Cranston), 

against unfiltered playboy billionaire 

Laird Mayhew (James Franco), who 

is the boyfriend of Ned’s loved daughter 

Stephanie (Zoey Deutch), a student at 

Stanford University. The plot thickens 

when dad learns Laird might be popping 

the question. Additional cast are 

Megan Mullally and Keegan-Michael 

Key. John Hamburg directs and cowrote 

the script with Jonah Hill. 


“Gold” stars Matthew McConaughey 

as Kenny Wells, a failing businessman, 

and Edgar Ramirez as a luckless geologist 

who embark on a grand scheme to 

find gold deep in the uncharted jungle 

of Indonesia. Supporting players are 

Bryce Howard Dallas, Cory Stoll, Toby 

Kebbe and Bruce Greenwood. Director 

is Stephen Gaghan, who brought 

us “Syriana.” 

How about some inspiration in the 

holiday season? Denzel Washington 

directs and stars as Troy, a once-promising 

baseball player who now collects 

garbage in Pittsburgh in “Fences.” He 

has complicated relations with his wife 

Rose (Viola Davis) and son Gabriel 

(Mykelti Williamson). Screenwriter 

Tony Kusher adapted August Wilson’s 

acclaimed 1985 play.

The Whole Town’s 

tAlking 

by Fannie Flagg 

Released November 29, 2016 

From the beloved 

author of 

“Fried Green 

Tomatoes at 

the Whistle 

Stop Cafe” 

comes another 

unforgettable, 

laughout-loud, 

and moving novel about what it 

means to be truly alive. 

Elmwood Springs, Missouri, is a 

small town like any other, but something 

strange is happening out at 

the cemetery. “Still Meadows,” as it’s 

called, is anything but still. Funny 

and profound, this novel in the tradition 

of Flagg’s Can’t Wait to Get to 

Heaven and Thornton Wilder’s Our 

Town deals with universal themes of 

heaven and earth and everything in 

between, as Flagg tells a surprising 

story of life, afterlife, and the mysterious 

goings-on of ordinary people. 

Rules of Contact 

by Jaci Burton 

Released December 6, 2016 

In the new 

Play-By-Play 

novel by the 

New York Times 

bestselling author 

of Unexpected 

Rush, a 

football player 

who knows 

how to win on 

the field needs a better game 

plan for his love life. 

A defensive end for the San 

Francisco Sabers, Flynn Cassidy is 

used to being in the spotlight—he 

just doesn’t enjoy it. But if getting 

in front of the cameras will help 

his new restaurant succeed, he’s 

willing. Now if he could just meet 

a woman who loved him and not 

his fame… 

After her divorce, Amelia Lawrence 

is thrilled to start over as head chef at 

Ninety-Two. It’s just the opportunity 

she needs to heat up her career—if 

only she wasn’t wildly attracted to 

her sexy new boss. Their chemistry 

might be sizzling hot, but Amelia has 

no intention of being burned again. 

Flynn can’t get enough of Amelia, 

and Amelia loves every second 

she spends with the tough yet tender 

Flynn. But trust is a hard-fought 

battle for both. Breaking the rules 

of contact and surrendering to their 

passion was the easy part. Are they 

willing to risk their hearts to win at 

the game of love? 

BrYANt & May: Strange 

Tide: A Peculiar Crimes 

Unit Mystery 

by Christopher Fowler 


The Peculiar 

Crimes Unit faces 

its most baffling 

case yet—and if 

Bryant and May 

can’t rise to the 

challenge, the 

entire unit may 

go under. Near 

the Tower of 

London, along the River 

Thames, the body of a woman has 

been discovered chained to a stone 

post and left to drown. Curiously, 

only one set of footprints leads to 

the tragic spot. “The Bride in the 

Tide,” as the London press gleefully 

dubs her, has the PCU stumped. Why 

wouldn’t the killer simply dump her 

body in the river—as so many do? 

Arthur Bryant wonders if the answer 

lies in the mythology of the 

Thames itself. Unfortunately, the normally 

wobbly funhouse corridors of 

Bryant’s mind have become, of late, 

even more labyrinthine. The venerable 

detective seems to be losing his 

grip on reality. May fears the worst, as 

Bryant rapidly descends from merely 

muddled to one stop short of Barking, 

hallucinating that he’s traveled 

back in time to solve the case. There 

had better be a method to Bryant’s 

madness—because, as more bodies 

are pulled from the river’s depths, his 

partner and the rest of the PCU find 

themselves in over their heads. 

Robert Ludlum’s The 

Bourne Enigma (Bourne 

Series #13) 

by Eric Van Lustbader 


A NEW JASON BOURNE NOVEL! 

On the eve of Russian general Boris 

Karpov’s wedding, Jason Bourne 

receives an enigmatic message from 

his old friend and fellow spymaster. 

In Moscow, what should be a joyous 

occasion turns bloody and lethal. 

Now Bourne is the only one who can 

decipher Karpov’s cryptogram. He 

discovers that Karpov has betrayed 

his sovereign to warn Bourne of a 

crippling disaster about to be visited 

on the world. Bourne has only four 

days to discover the nature of the disaster 

and stop it. 

The trail Karpov has been following 

leads Bourne to Cairo and the 

doorstep of Ivan Borz, the elusive 

international arms dealer infamous 

for hiding behind a never-ending series 

of false identities, a man Bourne 

has been hunting ever since he abducted 

former Treadstone director 

Soraya Moore and her two-year-old 

daughter and brutally murdered 

Soraya’s husband. 

Bourne must travel to war-torn 

Syria and then Cyprus as he chases 

the astonishing truth. The clock is 

ticking, and Bourne has less than four 

days to solve Karpov’s riddle—and 

hunt down Borz—if he hopes to prevent 

a cataclysmic international war...

It was billed the “24 Karat Gold

Hynde is the younger artist at 65. She 

is in great shape and rocked out on 

her hits “The Chain Gang,” “I’ll Stand

Stevie Nicks is even more amazing 

at age 68. She has shed a few pounds,

Peter 

Cetera 

an Ageless Icon 

for Baby-Boomers 



Peter Cetera was bassist for the group Chicago 

during their glory years, from 1967 to 1978. That 

was the year guitarist-vocalist Terry Kath died. 

Bassist-vocalist Peter Cetera had already assumed 

a more commanding role, with his distinctive 

tenor voice and knack for songwriting. 

Cetera went solo in 1978. History has proved 

him the most talented and versatile member of 

Chicago. Cetera played to his fans October 29 

at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater. Cetera is 

smart enough to surround himself with musicians 

as good or better than him. Most prominently 

was singer Kim Keyes, who was a duet 

partner on some greatest hits “After All” (originally 

with Cher) and “The Next Time I Fall,” originally 

with Amy Grant. 

It is hard to believe Peter Cetera is 72. He 

seems so young, vibrant and ageless. Ageing is 

much more favorable than the alternative. Peter 

Cetera is a shining example there is life after 40.

How To Fix That 

“Pain In The Neck” 

By Dr. John Conde 

Neck pain can be, well, a “pain in the neck”. It is estimated that 

10% of Americans (that’s 30,500,496 people!) are currently 

suffering from neck pain. 

The traditional treatment prescribed by 

physicians utilizing pain relievers, muscle 

relaxants, rest, and possible soft collar application 

is no longer the acceptable standard 

of care as this regimen only produces 

symptomatic relief. According to a landmark 

report furnished by the Task Force 

on Neck Pain and its Associated Disorders 

(which can be found in the peer reviewed 

medical journal Spine), some of the most 

effective treatments for neck pain include 

manipulation, mobilization, massage, and 

exercise. In addition, cutting-edge research 

is exposing the benefits of brain-based therapeutic 

exercises for the relief and prevention 

of neck pain due to the brain’s intimate 

control of neck muscles. 

The neck is the most dynamic part of the 

spine. Its main functions are to protect the 

spinal cord, provide the foundation for the 

skull, and act as a bridge connecting the 

skull with the rest of the body. However, it 

has to be flexible enough to allow movement 

in six different planes. This 

makes the neck the most vulnerable 

region of the spine to injury. It is 

lined with a high concentration 

of compression sensitive sensors 

(joint mechanoreceptors), which 

when triggered provide a high 

powered stimulation to the brain 

which is essential for its health. The 

small muscles which surround the 

neck play a large role in the overall 

health of the neck. Reflexes generated 

in these muscles in response to 

stretch relay through a certain part of 

the brain termed the cerebellum which 


then fire back to keep these same muscles 

strong. As a result, brain-based therapies 

geared towards the cerebellum produce 

amazing results concerning the overall 

stability of the neck. 

The most common neck complaints involve 

three distinct structures: the disc, the 

posterior joints of the spine also known as 

the facet joints, and the soft tissue regions 

including the ligaments and tendons surrounding 

the spine. Injury to the discs which 

are found between the vertebrae and act as 

shock absorbers will produce moderate to 

severe neck pain with associated pain into 

the arm and hand. The pain may be relieved 

momentarily with elevation of the affected 

arm over the head. Facet joint injuries will 

also manifest as neck and arm pain but may 

start without an offensive behavior like a 

trauma and will typically produce pain 

down the outer arm into the hand. Lastly, 

soft tissue injury will normally produce 

localized pain with severe restriction of 

movement. Nausea and headache may 

accompany the pain. This is commonly 

found after motor vehicle accidents. 

Many new, advanced therapies are 

combining physical medicine such 

as mobilization exercises, stretch/ 

strengthening exercises, myofascial 

release, traction, decompression, 

and nutrition with brain-based exercises 

targeting the cerebellum region 

of the brain. This approach not 

only focuses on the neck structures 

themselves but also the regions of 

the brain that control the deep intrinsic 

muscles of the neck producing 

greater stability. Stop hurting 

and start living.

The Silhouette Instalift 

A new alternative to injections and fillers 

By Thomas C. Balshi, M.D. 

Peering into the Fountain of Youth with a single wish in hand, most beauty 

seekers would go for a revitalized face. Loss of skin tone (facial sagging) 

and the stealthy appearance of wrinkles, lines and creases, are the main 

signs of facial aging, a natural process that worsens with time. 

This inevitable evolution is due 

to a loss of collagen and elastin, 

the providers of skin firmness. 

The face also loses fat, depleting 

volume and causing hollowness 

in the cheeks and a 

heaviness under the chin, 

thus, the arrival of “joules.” 

Up until recently, 

choices to restore facial 

volume were limited 

to injections called 

“fillers,” or more 

invasive surgical 

or ablative 

laser interventions. 

The 

cutting edge however now includes a wonderful 

alternative called The Silhouette Instalift. 

This is a self-dissolving suspension 

suture that is capable of providing volume, 

stimulating lost collagen production and 

actually repositioning skin. 

The Silhouette Instalift is a technological 

innovation offering both men and 

women a spectacular solution to a universal 

problem in a simple and minimally invasive 

way. The reshaping of the face and 

the restoration of lost volume are but thirty 

minutes away in the hands of a skilled 

cosmetic surgeon. By installing several of 

these absorbable sutures, the surgeon can 

literally redefine a face, restoring volume 

and gently lifting the skin. In this veritable 

new art form, the effects of aging are 

significantly reduced. 

The Silhouette Instalift leaves no scars 

and can be applied to all areas of the face 

and neck to restore youth and vitality. 

Recovery time is minimal and patients 

quickly return to normal activity and a full 

social life. 

The absorbable sutures are manufactured 

in the United States and are FDA approved. 

The treatments have been wildly 

popular in Europe, but are gaining momentum 

at home. In the last three years, more 

than 130,000 successful treatments have 

been accomplished worldwide. The faces 

of America will soon robustly plump up 

that number.

Keep Your Smile Bright 

This Holiday Season 

BY Craig Spodak, DMD, PA 

{ 

Don’t let sweet treats ruin 

your holiday cheer. 

It’s officially the holiday season! This 

means parties galore, sweet tasty tonics 

and sugar-coated everything. Eating all 

that sugar can cause harm to your teeth, 

but you can steer clear of cavities if you 

make sure you follow simple tips to protect 

your mouth. 

Avoid foods that take a long time to 

chew. Sticky foods such as gummy candy, 

dried fruit and caramel can damage 

your teeth for a couple of reasons. Not 

only do you have to chew longer to break 

down the food, which spreads the sugar 

to all corners of your mouth, the sticky 

bits can get stuck in the crevices in your 

teeth and remain there until you have a 

chance to brush. In the simplest breakdown 

possible, cavities are caused when 

sugar enters the mouth. Bacteria eat the 

sugar and this creates acid that weakens 

enamel. After 20 minutes, saliva neutralizes 

acid, but in that 20 minute period, 

cavities are forming. 

Drink water after drinking sweet 

beverages. You can still enjoy your favorite 

holiday wine, champagne and juices, 

but make sure you rinse your mouth with 

water frequently. This will wash away acid 

and any stains that have built up from the 

consumption of these acidic beverages 

and will keep you hydrated, thus keeping 

your saliva levels where they should be. 

Brush your teeth on the go. Taking the 

time to brush your teeth in the morning 

and at night are very important to your 

oral health, but if you’re able to brush on 

the go, that will just help combat cavities 

even more. Brushing your teeth after eating 

big meals and holiday treats will help 

remove unwanted food that sticks around 

in the mouth, and will also make sure your 

breath stays fresh for all of your mingling. 


Chew sugar-free gum. Gum is a great 

option when you don’t have your toothbrush 

handy. Chewing gum helps wash 

out food particles and produces natural 

saliva to help balance the acid in your 

mouth. Another plus side to chewing gum 

is that it will help you manage your sugar 

intake and not give in to the candy offerings 

lurking around every corner. 

Don’t stress out! It’s easy to feel overwhelmed 

when there’s shopping, baking, 

cooking, entertaining, family members, 

traveling, etc. added into the mix during 

the holiday season. All of this stress can 

cause you to grind or clench your teeth, 

which could cause jaw pain and can lead 

to more harsh issues like chipped or broken 

teeth. Remember to keep calm and 

party on, and don’t sweat the small stuff. 

Floss more. Flossing is always very important, 

and if you don’t floss, you aren’t 

properly cleaning about 30 percent of 

your tooth’s surface. Make sure you’re 

keeping up with your flossing routine so 

you don’t get stuck with a mouth full of 

cavities from all of your favorite sweets 

this season. Floss Picks are a convenient 

way to make sure you’re always prepared 

when you have a flossing opportunity, 

allowing you to floss quickly in the bathroom 

at a party, in the car, at home, etc. 

Making these smart choices to put your 

teeth first will help you to have a healthy, 

clean smile for all of your holiday pictures, 

and will send you into the New Year smiling. 

Always remember to floss and brush 

your teeth regularly, and to see your hygienist 

and dentist for your regularly 

scheduled cleanings and checkups. Happy 

Holidays!

Change Your Mind, 

Transform Your Body 

By Ashley Sica 

If you are serious about transforming your body and getting in the best 

possible shape there’s a couple things you will need to do before you start 

your physical transformation. You might think I’m going to say…plan your 

clean out your pantry etc…but not so fast! 

Before you can start to transform your 

body you have to transform your mind. 

Transforming your body is pretty much 

ALL mental. If your mind is not in the right 

place your body will not follow. I’ve seen 

it time and time again being in the fitness 

industry for over 10 years. Your mindset 

is the ONLY thing that separates you from 

having the body of your dreams. It’s the 

difference of reaching goals or missing 

them. With that being said here are 

some things to consider before beginning 

your transformation. 

Start by identifying your current 

mindset. You may feel 

hopeless, frustrated, discouraged 

about your current situation. 

You may feel you have 

tried everything to change 

your body but just can’t. You 

may feel frustrated because 

you lose and gain the same 

10lb over and over. Whatever 

your situation may be, 

you need to realize what 

feelings you’re having and 

why you’re having them. 

Once you identify your current 

mindset you’ll be able to 

move forward with the right 

type of thinking. Which brings 

me to my next point, the power 

of positivity. 

A positive mindset 

100% of the time during 

your transformation 

is a MUST. We attract 

what we think about. We 

become what we think 

about. Positive thoughts 


Ashley’s client Veronica 42yr old, mom of 2 

yield positive results. So if you start your 

transformation with doubts about your 

abilities or doubts about hitting your goals 

you are already setting yourself up for failure. 

You have to know that there will be obstacles 

along the way, but you have to have 

the right mindset that obstacles will not hinder 

your final result. Meaning that whatever 

life throws you (because you know life is full 

of curveballs) you’ll be ready to handle any 

situation or bump in the road. I see 

too many people give up on their 

goals because of certain circumstances 

that are totally 

within their control. So 

be ready, willing and able 

to say and do, “Whatever 

comes my way, I’ve got this 

and I WILL do this!” 

The next key to a 

successful transformation 

is that you 

have to want it bad 

enough. Otherwise 

you will let EV- 

ERY excuse in 

the book stand 

in your way. I 

see this all the 

time. “I didn’t have 

time to get to the gym.” 

“It was just a couple extra 

slices of pizza.” Every client 

who comes to me and wants 

it bad enough, gets the results. 

The clients that think 

they want to transform 

but don’t have a yearning 

in their heart for 

change, don’t. It’s really 

as simple as that. New clients will ask 

me, “Do you think I have what it takes to 

transform?” And my answer is always, “Yes, 

anyone can transform as long as you want 

it bad enough!” When you want something 

bad enough your heart and head are into it 

and with that your body will follow suit. 

My last piece of advice is to leave your 

fear of failure at the door. There is nothing 

to be afraid of and the only way you can fail 

is by not even trying. Fear is often what 

holds us back from going after the things 

we really want in life. But what should really 

scare you is the thought of staying stagnant 

in your current situation. Just imagine living 

in a body you’re uncomfortable with for 

the rest of your life…now that seems scary! 

The only way you can fail is by giving up and 

throwing the towel in all together. Understand 

that transforming your body is marathon 

not a sprint. Every “body” is different 

and each person’s transformation will take 

a different amount of time. For some it will 

be three months for some it will be one year. 

Whatever it is for YOU, don’t ever give up 

and failure will never be an option. 

So remember before embarking on your 

physical transformation to make sure your 

mind is warmed up and ready to run with 

you. The mind is the most powerful tool we 

have and it can either make us or break us. 

So use it wisely and I can assure you that 

your transformation will be a little easier 

than you think!

‘Parents Here; You’re There - An Advocate For Their Care’ 

By Martin LenkowskY 

{ 

Most 

people go out searching for that extra satisfying job or profession; not 

Amy Seigel, owner and founder of Advocare. “This work found me,” she said. 

At the time, Seigel was a Registered Nurse 

in a local hospital’s stroke and neurology 

department. She identified a glaring need 

in the healthcare field. “The adult children 

came to me for advice after a crisis with 

their parents.” 

Then one day, the idea really hit her. “A 

coconut dropped on my head in the hospital 

parking lot,” she said. “Many patients simply 

fall off the cliff when making the transition 

from the hospital to home.” 

Seigel, originally from New York, is both an 

RN (a UM grad) and a Certified Case Manager. 

She founded Advocare in 2000, and relocated 

her company from Fort Lauderdale to Delray 

Beach in 2011. 

Her company motto, “Assess, Advise, Advocate,” 

fits in perfectly with helping families 

during a crisis and to stay safe and independent. 

Advocare is a multi-faceted company 

providing families with complete support 

with the complexities of illness and aging. 

Support programs include Medical Care 

Management, Home Care Management, and 

RN Advocacy at Physician Appointments 

Advocare’s Professional Tri County Care Management Team 

Life Care Planning, helping families find the 

resources to pay for care to age in place. 

“We start with a complete assessment of a 

patient’s health and medical history, home environment, 

and family situation,” Seigel said. 

A Nurse Advocate attends key doctor appointments 

with the client, ensuring that attending 

physicians obtain a succinct update. 

Most importantly, the Nurse Advocate assures 

that medical issues are addressed by the appropriate 

physician or center of excellence. 

Family members are kept up to date with the 

peace of mind that their loved ones are receiving 

optimal care. Seigel adds, “To top it off, 

we’re on call 24-7.“ 

Client records are stored on their secure 

computer system so they can jump into action 

immediately when medical emergencies suddenly 

arise. This information is quickly and 

securely accessible by their Care Manager, 

even at the ER or hospital. 

Families living up north with elderly parents 

in South Florida often seek the expert 

services of Advocare to ensure their loved

ones are getting the best possible care and treatment. Their certified 

professionals include 16 Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, 

and Certified Care Managers. Their Active Aging Program includes 

an athletic trainer and physical therapist. 

Seigel offers a free phone consultation with potential clients to 

ascertain if she can help. However, she stresses, the most important 

thing is the face-to-face assessment in their own home, hospital, or 

a specific rehab center. “A care plan has to be specific and true to 

who they are and their life’s wishes.” 

Advocare’s Director of Life Planning, Jill Poser, explains that they 

review a client’s financial, legal, and family dynamics as part of their 

multi-faceted approach to elder care. “You need to look at someone’s 

life in its entirety,” she said. When it’s time to transition from 

home to assisted living, we help families anticipate every ‘what if’ 

so transitions are seamless. We empower our clients to experience 

their lives in the best, most meaningful ways possible given changing 

circumstances. We plan for the worst, and hope for the best.” 

Advocare’s Transition Care Management and Life Care Planning 

Team assists clients to navigate a transition to an independent 

living, assisted living, or skilled nursing facility, or even to stay at 

home with new modifications and support. Some of their patients 

are dealing with memory issues ranging from mild to severe. Seigel 

said, “Our goal is to help the family cope and help the client preserve 

quality of life.” 

The walls in Seigel’s office are adorned with certificates and 

diplomas, as well as thank you notes and testimonials from satisfied 

families. 

Some samples: 

From Boston: “Thank you for exemplary care that exceeded the 

boundaries of your job description and went far beyond due to your 

concern and your wonderful inclination to treat every patient as if he 

or she were dear to you….like your parent...both of them were so lucky 

to have you. We, her family, were lucky, as well.” 

From New York: “My mother has been your client for several 

years now, and I think it appropriate as her son to tell you that your 

organization has done a uniformly fantastic job in managing her 

medical care. The physicians that you have chosen for her care are 

first rate and have excellent experience in elder care issues. Over the 

years, her personal RN Case Managers have been very competent, reliable, 

and extremely helpful.”

{Let’s face it sometimes shopping can be an Olympian 

sport. Other times it’s a pleasant way to search for 

interesting items that play a vital role in our lives. 

If you need a watch battery, comfortable 

shoes, vitamins, an enchanting puzzle, fine 

jewelry, monogrammed napkins or a fresh 

cheese Danish, you’re in for a treat at The 

Big Apple Shopping Bazaar & Flea Market. 

The 35,000-square-feet indoor market has 

everything one would want for themselves 

or their loved ones. 

If it’s comfortable shoes you want there

partner (in life and business) Diane is an ace 

baker whose homemade cheese Danish will 

make you cry with delight. Together they 

have set out to please customers with food 

that oozes of passion and pampering. 

Their chicken fingers are freshly made 

with the best cut of chicken and then breaded. 

But they’re no ordinary chicken fingers 

– they’re superb. “We sell one case a week,” 

said Serrano, who serves them with seasoned 

fries. They truly are unlike anything 

you’ve ever tasted. So is their tuna fish that 

Helen Biffer and Sandy Isser are convinced 

is better than the country club’s tuna. “We 

love it so much here we’re thinking of moving 

in,” said Biffer. 

The Hitchin’ Kitchen also has $4 lunches

the Little River Band and others will 

light up the Pavilion stage with songs of the

When asked about her title (that includes 

customer service, social media and needlepoint) 

Helfman quips, “My formal title is daughter.” 

But we know otherwise. “The most important 

thing here is customer service. I have a 

relationship with all the customers. I even give 

them my cell phone number. When I recently 

went to a trade show in Dallas I face-timed 

customers to show them the new designer 

canvases available,” said Helfman, who is the 

designated hugger in the group. 

Another big draw at Stitches by the Sea is Carole 

Piccininni. The needlepoint pro teaches decorative 

stitches and always has her hands firmly 

planted on a colorful canvas that looks museum 

ready. Judi’s husband Dick, a retired aerospace 

engineer, can be found smiling, stitching (and 

taking care of business) behind the front desk. 

The one thing everyone has in common at this 

serene space is a love of needlepoint. They also 

appreciate the inherent beauty of the designer

sprinkled around the store. There are needlespecial

Creative Genius At Work 

STITCHES BY THE SEA 

{By diane feeN 


Jill Rosen is convinced that needlepoint is 

yoga for the mind. Beverly from Boston calls 

it a healthy addiction that is therapeutic. 

If you asked the American Medical Association 

they might give you a blank stare. But if 

you saunter into Stitches by the Sea you will 

undoubtedly be charmed by the atmosphere 

that is more Zen than den and more calming 

than calamity. 

That’s why everyone’s favorite creative stitchery 

emporium continues to thrive with designer 

painted canvases just waiting to be adorned 

with colorful threads. They hang on the wall in 

all their glory with sparkling panoramic depictions 

of towns and villages, flowers and fauna. 

The beauty that surrounds the premises is 

only part and parcel of the ethereal draw that 

everyone feels who enters Stitches by the Sea. 

“I’ve gone to every needlepoint store and this is 

the only one I go to,” said Anita Kazaniwskyj, a 

snowbird from Canada. “They treat me like family 

and they know what I like. The best part is 

that no one rushes me and everyone is helpful.” 

They sure are. Customer service and friendliness 

is Godliness at this light airy space on the 

Avenue. Judi Alweil has been in the needlepoint 

business for over 43 years (in Florida and Long 

Island) and is as friendly and unpretentious as 

a catering hostess. Her daughter Karen Helfman, 

who designs canvasses and needlepoint 

accessories, recently moved to Florida and 

Judi, Dick and Redi... a family business 

home away from home 


Carole stitching 

point handbags, Christmas ornaments, pillows, 

belts, beaded needlepoint masterpieces, eyeglass 

cases, jewelry and more. The assortment 

of needlepoint possibilities is endless – yet the 

time to create one is finite. That’s because all you 

need is right in the store. 

They have a great selection of painted canvasses, 

fibers and accessories. It’s also been 

hailed as a friendly oasis in the storm of life. “I 

have a customer who recently told me she’s had 

a hard time making friends in Florida. She said, 

‘Now I know why I love coming here. I am greeted 

with hugs and everyone is happy to see me. I 

finally found a place I belong,’” said Karen. 

Stitches by the Sea is also a place where novice 

needlepointers and experienced ones can 

learn their way around a canvas. Rosen loves to 

saunter around the store and enjoys the camaraderie 

of her stitching peers. When she wanted to 

learn new stitches Carole (the Pied Piper of creativity) 

taught her the Smyna and Scotch Stitch. 

“We don’t have stores like this in New York; everyone 

here is so warm and helpful. No question 

is too stupid to ask.” 

While friendship and needlepoint is the key 

ingredient to their success the store has all the 

supplies you’ll need to make the handbag, artwork, 

pillow or accessory of one’s dreams. 

They sell colorful yarns in silk, cotton, wool, 

silk lamé and a variation of textured silk fibers. 

They also have designer canvases from renowned 

artists like Melissa Shirley and Penny 

MacLeod. Both artists have rendered their extraordinary 

talent upon needlepoint canvass 

and set forth a movement to make needlepoint 

more like fine art or whimsical wizardry. 

If you want something made (or put together) 

they will do that for you. Often customers will 

see something they love and have it made for 

them. Some canvases are bedazzled with Lurex 

threads or jewels while others are framed or 

stuffed. 

Online classes (and online Trunk Shows) will 

Carole choosing colors for a new canvas 

begin after the holidays. Their In-store Trunk 

Shows highlight original canvases from Colors 

of Praise, Sew Much Fun, TS Designs, Penny MacLeod 

and Purple Palm Designs. 

If you need stitching help or color consultation 

Susan and Pamela are at your service. And, 

if you can’t get there in person you can shop online 

(it’s linked to their website). 

They say Beauty Comes from within – but 

at Stitches by the Sea Beauty is everywhere. 

It’s created with love and passion and infused 

with the authenticity of unique handiwork with 

bursts of vibrancy and color.

special feature ║ Puro’s Cigar 

More Than a Cigar Store 




{ 

When Puro’s Cigar’s loyal customers head back home after wintering in 

South Florida, it’s not at all unusual for them to give their favorite cigar 

store a call. However, they’re not always calling just to order more of 

their cigar of choice; they’re also checking up on old friends. 

7TH ANNIVERSARY CAKE 


“When customers go back north, they 

might be calling just to see how everyone 

is doing,” said Steve Buday, a family friend 

who also helps out at the store. 

“Puro’s Cigar is one of the best cigar 

stores,” Buday said. “The best thing is this 

is purely family owned and operated.” 

Puro’s Cigar, located at 777 E. Atlantic 

Ave, Delray Beach, opened its doors in 

July 2009 and held its seventh anniversary 

party November 12th. “We held it then so 

people are here from up north,” Buday said. 

The shelves and counter at Puro’s are 

stacked with rows and rows of premium 

cigars, including names like Padron, Montecristo, 

Romeo & Julieta, Ashton, Griffin, 

Avo, Arturo Fuente and much more. They 

also sell a wide array of cigar accessories. 

A pleasant, soothing aroma reminiscent 

of grandpa’s old cigar box from days long 

ago greets the nose when one first strolls 

into the shop. An outside seating area complete 

with large patio umbrellas, tables, 

chairs, tropical plants and flowers is the 

perfect setting to enjoy a cigar and sip a 

tasty espresso. So relaxing and serene is the 

outdoor area, it’s easy to forget one is on Atlantic 

Avenue in Delray Beach rather than a 

quiet, peaceful street in Italy or France. 

Puro’s Cigar was founded by owners 

Lisbeth Bracho, Eduardo Garcia, and their 

son, Jesus Prieto. Lisbeth said they were 

originally hoping to open a restaurant. She 

had been a Realtor and her husband was in 

the restaurant business for 38 years. “We 

invited my sister to dinner,” she said. “Pedro, 

my brother-in-law, had been a cigar 

smoker for 50 years. We were talking about 

cigar stores when my husband and I looked 

Everyone Having a Good Time at the Party 

Delicious BBQ by Javier 

at each other. We said, ‘how about we open 

up a cigar store.’” 

Neither she or her husband were cigar 

smokers. Plus, they didn’t know anything

Caroline & Jesus and Lisbeth & Edwardo 

about the business. “We started looking it up,” she said. “It 

took a month to learn and open Puro’s.” 

Buday said what he finds most unique about the shop is its 

very casual atmosphere. “We have a wide variety of clients,” he 

said, “young and old, men and women. Lisbeth and Eduardo 

cater to the clientele and the atmosphere. They’re here since 

2009. They must be doing something right.” 

Regarding the cigar selection, Buday said, “it’s really the variety. 

They’ve made use of every square inch. It’s an art to keep 

the humidity levels where they should be to keep the cigars 

from drying out.” 

Along with the satisfying cigar smell permeating the air, the 

soft, hypnotic gurgle of a humidifier fills the room. 

Then of course, there’s their reasonably priced assortment 

of cigars. Their cigars are well priced, and they offer discounts 

when you buy a box, also on top of the cigar specials. Plus, Lisbeth 

points out, “Eduardo makes the best espresso in town.” 

Buday proudly says Puro’s Cigar now has its own website 

which he designed and built, puroscigar.com. “We post ‘Cigars 

101,’” he said. “It tells people what to look for. We try to educate 

people all about cigars. Some people have their favorite 

cigars, but a lot of people will switch around. We never had a 

web presence before.” 

The website also lists their major brands. 

Buday said he’s noticed a trend in today’s cigar market. “It’s 

probably trending more toward the ladies with flavored cigars,” 

he said. “More are smoking than before. Some just like 

to sit out here and have an espresso.” 

Bracho points out Puro’s Cigar is their only business. They 

only have the one store in Delray Beach. 

Officially, store hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. 

to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. 

Sunday hours are 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Buday said from time to 

time they’ll have an event if a distributor wants to promote 

something.” 

Expectedly, business in South Florida picks up when the 

season arrives, but, “we just had our best summer ever,” Buday 

said. 

Enjoy an Amazing End of the Year event on December 8 

from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. presented by Puro’s Cigar and Avo Cigars. 

There will be great gifts and raffles with purchase.

Upscale One Stop Shop Real Estate Office 

By Philip FishmaN 


{ 

Posh Properties is celebrating the grand opening of its new, 

spacious upscale Real Estate office in the charming Pineapple Grove 

area of downtown Delray Beach and is fast becoming the area’s 

complete one-stop shop for all of one’s Real Estate needs. 

Broker/Owner Jerilyn M. Walter opened 

Posh four and a half years ago, and has enthusiastically 

transformed her once small 

company into one of the most successful 

and visible Real Estate boutiques in Palm 

Beach County. 

With over 16 years in the business, Walter 

has built Posh Properties from the ground 

up and with the intention of creating a firm 

that focuses on building long term relationships 

with the customer. 

“What our story really is, is that we started 

Posh right next door with a couple of agents 

working with renters and buyers in the first 

year and a half to two years, along with my 

16 years of referrals and return business. All 

the buyers and renters we found homes for 

would later become buyers with listings.” 

“Real Estate is a growing and learning 

process. That’s how it evolves and now it’s

Aliberti, Jerilyn Walter, (Owner/Broker), Andy Davis, Susie Fernandes, 

Catherine McGlennon, Michelle Greenwald, Sheryl Pinatel, Joseph Mansour 

Jerilyn Walter, Broker/Owner 

running on all cylinders,” said Walter. 

“Posh Properties now has a nice foothold 

and people know who we are. We needed a 

better presence and a bigger space and was 

able to add a guest area and coffee bar to be 

more accommodating to our customers and 

not have them feel like we are a call center.” 

In addition to her seasoned staff of 18 experienced 

and licensed Real Estate agents, 

Walter is adding Luxury Title Services, LLC 

as an in-house Title company to serve her 

growing legions of buyers and sellers, and 

The Sena Group who will offer a full menu of 

Homeowners, Life, Business and Auto Insurance 

programs. 

“The addition of a title service, home insurance 

and mortgage firm will allow buyers 


to better understand the costs and process 

of purchasing a property, whether or not 

they choose to use the companies’ services.” 

A mortgage company will soon be added 

to the space and a financial planner may 

come aboard in time. 

Jerilyn Walter’s personal commitment to 

offering the very best professional service 

to her clients and customers is what Posh 

Properties is all about. 

“My goal is to build relationships and connect 

with our customers.” 

The Southern California native learned 

the business early from her grandmother 

who sold Real Estate for more than 40 years, 

until her retirement in the late 1980s. At 28 

years old, Walter would become President 

of Medical Collection Services, Inc. and be 

appointed as a California State Receiver and 

Arizona State Appointed Trustee before relocating 

to South Florida. 

A few years working for local agencies followed 

until it was time to be on her own. 

The Sales Associates at Posh reflect Walter’s 

business philosophy that truly listening 

to the customer is a top priority. 

“It’s all about focusing in on a lifestyle first 

and then finding the right house. Understanding 

if the customer will be happy and 

if they are going to enjoy living in the home 

is imperative to finding the right property for 

the customer. Their lifestyle is most important; 

the house should be the compromise.” 

“My agents will work for the customer 

and understand that the money will follow. 

They have this attitude being competitive, 

yet cooperative with their fellow agents. All 

the agents at Posh understand the happier 

the customers are the more referrals we will 

all receive and the more positive feedback is 

on the street about our firm. As a Broker, I 

am not here to make money off my agents - I 

New upscale offices provides agents and customers an comfortable enviornment to conduct business 

am here to help them reach their goals.” 

As a further effort to promote goodwill 

among her agents, Walter provides bonuses 

to agents in the form of advertising dollars 

and finders fees for bringing on fellow agents. 

“By recruiting agents to our firm, the recruiting 

agent receives a piece of the houses 

commission from that agent’s sales for one 

year. This further encourages the agents to 

push and assist each other in completing 

transactions. It’s a win-win for everyone.” 

“In January, Posh Properties will contribute 

a point from the houses’ earned commissions 

to be a special savings account for each 

agent that the agent can access at the end of 

the first year, and which will be doubled if accessed 

at the end of the second year. It’s an 

investment and hopefully helps them feel like 

they’re more than just a sub-contractor.” 

Part of the Posh success story has involved 

working within the community by 

sponsoring local charity functions. 

“I ask each agent to find an organic local 

charity for which they have a passion and 

Posh Properties will help sponsor it. Currently 

and in the past we would volunteer, 

but now we can be financially involved.” 

Martin Mallinger of Luxury Title Services, LLC, Jerilyn 

Walter, John and Dee Sena of The Sena Group, and Nicole 

Davis discuss the advantage and value of a “One stop shop” 

Holli Brisson, Office Manager, is 

a vital part of the organization 

The Sandoway House Nature Center and 

Dezzy’s Second Chance Rescue have and 

continue to benefit from Posh’s charitable 

endeavors, as well as contributing to the 

Delray Beach Library fundraiser for the past 

three years by purchasing 20 “bricks.” 

“When we close on a house we like to 

send a Library “brick” to buyers so they can 

be part of the community and connect with 

the library.” 

From Miami to Jupiter, Posh Properties 

not only works with residential buyers, sellers 

and local developers but also focuses on 

commercial, land and office properties with 

the recent addition of a Commercial Real Estate 

department. 

And then there’s that special Delray 

Beach factor. 

“It’s not just one type of culture here; it’s 

so diverse with pockets of charm with great 

shopping and nature. Delray Beach has an 

incredible draw and that draw is bringing 

not only national, but strong international 

attention to our little part of the world.” 

Jerilyn Walter’s passion for Real Estate 

and a unique vision for her company can 

only translate into a great future for Posh 

Properties.

Calling ‘Pinball Wizards’ Of All Ages 



{ 

Pleasant childhood memories of summers spent on the worldfamous 

Coney Island boardwalk permeate to the surface. In a 

blast-from-the-past moment, you find yourself immersed in a 

colorful world of myriad antique pinball and Skee-Ball machines. 

The good news is you don’t have to book

geographically correct – for this experience; 

just pay a fun visit to Silverball Museum, 19 

NE 3rd Ave., located on the east side of the 

railroad tracks in downtown Delray, a mere 

few hundred feet north of Atlantic Avenue. 

Adding to this nostalgia-laced reverie is 

the beckoning sound of classic rock music. 

Much to this writer’s delight, Led Zeppelin’s 

Dazed and Confused greeted my arrival. I

Silverball Museum opened its doors in 

Delray Beach in late May, according to Dayna 

DiDomenico, manager and special events 

coordinator. 

This new Delray two-story arcade is the 

second Silverball Museum opened by owners 

Silverball Museum has over 100 working games from 1950’s-2016, 

all games are set on free play for guests endless enjoyment

we could find him at Silverball Museum Delray Beach! 

Robert Ilvento and Steve Zuckerman. Their 


original arcade opened in Asbury Park, N.J., 

in 2009 in a basement, said DiDomenico. 

“And now it’s on the pier,” she said, “right 

near the famous Stone Pony,” the iconic music 

venue where Bruce Springsteen and Bon 

Jovi launched their way to superstardom. 

Silverball has something for everyone. 

“It’s definitely something different,” DiDomenico 

said. “It’s a place you can go anytime 

at all. It’s great for all ages with no restrictions. 

Even my 19-month-old niece was 

here, and she liked all the lights, and surprisingly 

grasped Skee-Ball while her parents 

were able to relive their youth playing 

arcade games. People come up here from 

Miami, and down from Jupiter.”

INTRODUCING THE 

COOLEST PLACE 

ON EARTH! 

FUN FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES! 

All Games On Free Play ~ No Coins Needed 

Silverball bridges the generational gap creating fun for all ages 

Expectedly, one’s choice of game is somewhat related to one’s 

age. “The boomers like pinball and Skee-Ball,” DiDomenico explained. 

“The ‘hipster’ kids like the video games. The arcade 

games are a big hit for the younger kids of the Nintendo generation. 

It’s a very diverse group.” 

As if this unique collection of antique pinball, Skee-Ball and 

arcade games weren’t enough for most people, Silverball Museum 

offers something equally attractive to its happy patrons. 

It won’t “nickel and dime” you to death. “The catch is – that appeals 

to everyone – is all the games are free play. You only pay 

for your time,” said DiDomenico, a proud Brooklyn native, like 

this writer, who grew up only a short subway ride from the fun 

and games of Coney Island. 

Silverball Museum hours are Sunday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 

12 a.m. Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Museum rates are 

$7.50 for a half-hour pass; $10 for a one-hour pass; $25 for an 

all-day pass (open to close); $15 for an afternoon pass (open to 

5 p.m.); $15 for an evening pass (5 p.m. to close.) All games are 

set to free play with entry pass, with no coins required. 

And if the excitement of unlimited fun and games whets 

your appetite, Silverball Museum offers a full service menu. Its 

“Boardwalk” menu has pizza, boneless chicken tenders clucka-doodle 

chicken sandwiches, Jersey shore fries, mozzarella 

sticks, jalapeno poppers, hot pretzels, funnel cakes, chips and 

cheese, nachos grande, and of course, Nathan’s hot dogs. To 

quench your thirst, bottled water, soda and iced tea is available. 

For adults, a fine selection of wine and craft beers is available. 

Getting back to the background sounds, there’s more to life 

– for some folks – than classic rock. One can also hear “bubblegum” 

oldies. For special occasions, the music fits the mood. “We 

even entertained Halloween-themed music for our Halloween 

party,” DiDomenico said. 

Manager Jonathan Patz is excited about Silverball’s game 

selection. “We have a lot of nostalgia games,” he said. “A lot of 

the pinball machines you can play are from the ‘50s. There’s everything 

from the 1930s to 2016. We have a shuffleboard table 

from the 1940s that’s in immaculate shape. This is the place 

where the four-year-old grandkid can play on the same level 

playing field as their 80-year-old grandparent. It’s like going to 

Coney Island. It’s fun for all ages. We have old-school sodas and 

root-beer floats.” 

Silverball is available for parties and special events.

Time to have fun and get your bling on at 

DIAMONDS EAST 

international 

By trish giando 


{The holidays are fast approaching and 

what can be more fun than shopping for 

jewelry to launch that festive holiday spirit! 

Holidays are all about extending warmth 

and joy to family and friends through gift 

giving and exchanges. These traditions have 

been used by many different cultures and 

countries throughout the world for centuries. 

Who doesn’t feel full of happiness and holiday 

spirit when finding that special gift for a 

loved one or for that special person in your 

life. Even treating themselves to an early holiday 

gift. It’s definitely a fun time of the year. 

Diamonds East International provides 

a delightful experience in a laid back atmosphere. 

This year, they are happy to announce 

even more new arrivals, featuring 

numerous additions to their collection of 

pre-owned Swiss timepieces, diamond jewelry 

and more… 

All diamonds sold at Diamonds East are 

certified by GIA and EGL and range from 

small diamond rings to very large ones. But 

it’s not just size that matters – its quality. 

“Shoppers from coast to coast visit us 

frequently because of our best selection of 

diamond rings, pre-owned and new luxury 

watches for men and women. We take pride 

in treating ALL our customers with the utmost 

respect and sell at wholesale prices. We 

stand behind all of our merchandise,” said 

owner Ken Mordechai. 

Diamonds East International’s watch collections 

both new and pre-owned, have many 

styles to choose from: including looks such 

as sporty, contemporary or more formal... 

Choose from Swiss timepiece brands such 

as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Breitling, Cartier, 

Patek Philippe, IWC, Jaeger La Coulter and 

many more... both for men and women. All of 

their watchmakers are CW-21 certified. 

Browse the many bracelets, necklaces and 

earrings in beautiful display cases also with 

a unique collection of engagement and wedding 

rings along with many other styles. The 

jewelers at Diamond’s East can create whatever 

look you wish as well.

even have something newly designed. “Our 

jewelers can update an older piece of jewelry

to life. Have an old watch that is just laying 

around? Bring it in to trade towards a new 

one.” said owner Ken Mordechai.

East. “Most of our business is from

Fat Be Gone 

GOLD COAST DERMATOLOGY 

By DIANE FEEN 


{If you ask most people what they would like to change about themselves 

you’ll probably hear they would like to be a little thinner in the abdomen, 

upper arm , thigh area or anywhere. 

Dr. Manolakos of Gold Coast Dermatology 

had been hearing the same things from her 

patients. That is why she is happy to introduce 

two new procedures, the Vella Shape II 

that reduce cellulite and tightens skin, and 

the UltraShape Power which permanently destroys 

fat. “I believe in having a full-service 

dermatology center. Our patients have been 

asking for body contouring procedures for 

a while. That is the reason I have been researching 

different solutions and techniques 

that will address this issue. The procedures 

I found in the past showed limited improvement 

with too many potential side effects,” 

said Dr. Manolakos. With these cutting-edge 

techniques the doctor is confident that patients 

will get the results they want with no 

down time and very limited risk of side effects. 

UltraShape Power is a state-of-the-art 

procedure that permanently destroys fat and 

is perfect for the abdomen, inner and outer 

thighs, flanks, back fat and underarms. If 

you’re wondering what UltraShape Power is, 


Painless UltraShape Power treatment 

Photos courtesy of Gold Coast Dermatology 

we will tell you. It is the first and only FDA approved, 

non-invasive body shaping procedure 

that uses focused, pulse ultrasound for selective 

fat-cell destruction. UltraShape Power is 

non-surgical, which means there are no incisions, 

no anesthetics or recovery time. For the 

today’s busy lifestyle this procedure is much 

more ideal because there is no downtime. You 

can have a treatment and go back to work 

the same day and do all the things you would 

normally do in the day. UltraShape Power is 

also painless and leaves no visible signs of 

treatment. “All you’re left with is a smooth 

contoured result, often seen as quickly as two 

weeks after the first treatment. The end result 

can be seen after 12 weeks past the last 

treatment. UltraShape Power eliminates fat 

cells permanently. It differs from weight loss, 

which can only shrink fat cells,” said Jennifer 

Drinkard-Calabrese, Practice Development 

Partner North Florida (North American Body 

Division) of Syneron Candela.

UltraShape Power also has the highest fat destruction power 

of any non-invasive device on the market. It has shown in studies 

to have a 32 percent reduction in fat thickness after three treatments, 

which are typically performed two weeks apart. This 

means it’s the equivalent of one to two dress sizes for most patients 

when treating the abdomen. The procedure utilizes pressure 

sound waves to destroy fat cells rather than thermal methods 

such as freezing or heating the fat cells. It has no downtime 

and is truly a ‘lunch time procedure’ with no bruising, redness, or 

irritation post procedure. 

They have found that working out and eating right can do wonders 

for your body, but it can often be difficult to lose stubborn 

fat that is resistant to workouts and diet. UltraShape Power won’t 

cause pain or harm to surrounding tissue, nerves or muscle. In 

fact, in a recent clinical study, 100 percent of patients report that 

the treatment is comfortable. 

VelaShape® III is a non-invasive body contouring treatment 

for circumferential and cellulite reduction. It provides dramatic 

results without downtime or significant discomfort. It is also FDA 

approved for temporary cellulite reduction, temporary circumferential 

reduction and is known to tighten the skin. 

The way VelaShape III works is that it combines infrared light, 

bi-polar radio frequency energy and a vacuum that causes deep 

heating of the fat cells, their surrounding connective tissue and 

the underlying dermal collagen fibers. This type of efficient heating 

and vacuum stimulates the growth of new and better collagen 

and elastin, resulting in localized reduction in skin laxity, body 

volume and an overall improvement in skin structure and texture. 

The VelaShape III is used to treat such problem areas such as 

turkey neck, bat wing arms, bra bulge, and loose skin or cellulite 

on the thighs, buttocks, flanks, and abdomen. Most patients see 

gradual and cumulative results throughout the treatment regime 

which is typically once every two weeks for 4-6 weeks. 

The VelaShape III is also a comfortable procedure that has been 

described as a warm sensation similar to a warm deep-tissue 

massage. Most patients require three to four treatments on average. 

If you’re ready to see a difference in your body – contact 

Gold Coast Dermatology Center to see if you’re a candidate for 

either procedure. You can reduce cellulite and permanently destroy 

fat without surgery. Call for a consultation today.

Where You Can Make Your House, Your Home 

By nicol jenkins

{Bernard & Stephanie Molyneux’s passion for 

guiding others in the quest to find the perfect 

dining table or home furnishing to “liven up” 

one’s home began at a young age. 

NEW & VINTAGE ACCESSORIES 

Growing up in Manchester, England, Bernard’s 

family owned a furniture store, where 

they refurbished and sold gently used furniture. 

Bernard and his brother delivered the 

items and he learned about the furniture 

business from the young age of 14. He remembers 

admiring his Dad as he watched 

him work with customers and knew he 

wanted to one day own his own store. 

That dream became a reality when he 

moved to Boca Raton in 1982 and opened 

Antiques & Country Pine (now known as 

ACP Home Interiors) to fill the need for European 

designed furniture. What started as 

a small 800 square foot warehouse in Boca 

Raton with mainly antiques expanded to a 

bigger store on Glades Road, and then grew 

to a busy store in Deerfield Beach. Today, 

Bernard and his wife Stephanie, who also 

has a background in the furniture business 

and grew up in Boca Raton, have moved 

back to their roots in Boca and also Delray 

Beach where they own two exciting and 

high traffic stores. The Delray Beach location 

fits the more beach inspired comfortable 

Coastal living, while the Boca Raton 

store has a more transitional, “cool vibe” 

style, with hints of Coastal living as well. 

This husband and wife team has been 

successful at knowing what their customers 

like and it shows since ACP Home Interiors 

has been a thriving business for over 30 

years. While the times have changed in regards 

to furniture style, so has the inventory 

at these local stores. ACP Home Interiors 

has maintained the same quality and adjusted 

to those changes offering only the finest 

European-inspired reproduction furniture, 

the most exquisite accessories and also now 

representing the latest in Industrial Style 


SERENE SURROUNDINGS 

furniture, Transitional (a mix of traditional 

and contemporary) pieces and Coastal Chic 

designs. Shoppers can find anything from 

elegant bedroom pieces and bedding to 

match, to a one-of-a-kind sparkling crystal 

or a shell chandelier, and beach themed living 

room groupings, to several fragrant candle 

lines for gifts, picture frames, or books 

for your coffee table. Celebrated upholstery 

lines, home lighting and much more are 

available at the store. Bernard is also well 

known in Europe and the US for buying, 

selling and gently restoring Louis Vuitton 

trunks which are also shared throughout 

the showrooms. 

“We intently listen to what our customer 

is asking for, and we select merchandise that 

we would want personally and that is of the 

highest quality,” said Stephanie. 

“The furniture business is like the clothing 

business. You have to move with the 

times and keep changing; and we are constantly 

changing and bringing in new pieces. 

You don’t reinvent the wheel; you just keep 

it oiled. Also at many of the big furniture 

stores, you never meet the owners. We are 

almost always here to help,” added Bernard. 

PROPRIETOR BERNARD MOLYNEUX 

The owners have listened to their customers 

and hand select the furniture and accessories 

based on the highest quality merchandise 

made from the U.S. and found on 

shopping trips around the world. Plus, the 

inventory is priced fairly and always changing 

constantly since new shipments arrive 

in the stores weekly! 

“We try to make sure our furniture and 

our approach is special to the area. We have 

our own kind of niche and we thoughtfully 

search for furniture and accessories wherever 

we go. ACP Home Interiors is also a 

one-stop shop. You can find furniture for 

your entire home, or to update any of your 

home’s needs. We also look forward to helping 

people pick out unique gifts for their 

loved ones,” said Stephanie. 

ELEGANT SETTINGS 

The moment you step into their store, you 

are greeted by one of the owners or their 

knowledgeable staff. The stunning furniture 

pieces and unique decorative accessories 

draw you in and make you feel right at home. 

The store also caters to their customers’ needs 

with interior decorators and in-house delivery 

all the way to the Keys and Vero Beach. 

That high level of customer service and 

the willingness to go above and beyond has 

kept the business thriving over the years. 

“We have had the same customers for 

years. Some of our customers first came 

in when they were kids, and now they are 

all grown up and bring their children with 

them. There are generations of families that 

shop here,” said the owners. 

Both owners find it rewarding when they 

see their customers happy in their newly 

decorated homes. 

“Even though I’ve been doing this for 

what seems like forever, I still enjoy it 

because it’s always changing; and we’re 

always able to offer something that is different 

and intriguing for our customers,” 

said Bernard. 

“It’s more than just selling a piece of furniture, 

it’s making a person feel more ‘inspired 

or at ease’ when they walk into their 

special surroundings at the beginning or 

end of the day,” exclaimed Stephanie.

What’s in 

Your Trunk? 

By john davis, lmhc 

{This morning I returned home after taking my daughter to school, to 

find my wife sitting on the floor surrounded by photos of all shapes 

and color, most of them many years old and curling around the edges. 

How precious these rare paper pictures. She was emptying an antique 

wooden chest we’d kept since our marriage. It had belonged to her 

grandfather who used it for hand tools. We used it for memories. 


Planning to sell it at her yard sale, she 

placed it by the door. I noticed it on my 

way out and had a brainstorm. “I’m taking 

this trunk to my office,” I told her, and 

she agreed with an eye roll and a shrug. 

She was ready to part with it. I had some 

ideas. I planned on using it as office furniture 

and also as a “prop” in my counseling 

practice. It’s been fascinating to work with 

my clients around a simple basic inquiry: 

“what’s in your trunk?” The soft, battered 

edges and deep brown wood tones of the 

actual trunk invite a special reverie and a 

deep remembering. 

We all have a “trunk.” A metaphorical 

trunk. A place inside us containing 

memories that are sometimes vague, and 

yet affect us profoundly in our daily lives. 

Marriage memories. Childhood memories. 

Memories of being bullied. Memories of 

losing a loved one. In the sanctuary of therapy, 

it’s possible to remember the sweet 

and sometimes bitter past that so affects 

our daily lives. Recalling these memories, 

going back and letting them touch us once 

again can be a profoundly cathartic and 

therapeutic experience. 

I remember being 9 years old, sitting in 

the vinyl back seat of a ’59 Chevy, looking 

over my Dad’s shoulder as he drove our 

family in a funeral procession for my Mom’s 

parents who died in a car crash. Silent tears 

wet his face. He looked straight ahead and 

said nothing. He just held my Mom’s hand. 

She sat stone-like, as in a dream. A nightmare. 

That morning I saw my father’s tears 

as strength. His grief as a painful, but heroic 

process of empathy. I saw a real man. 

Also in my “trunk” are memories of my 

grandparents and their home near Fort 

Walton Beach. The smells of cakes baking, 

mixed with the subtle scent of the ocean, 

pine trees and sandy soil can quickly bring 

me a deep feeling of safety and warmth. My 

grandparents’ tiny home was a haven in the 

storms of my parents’ early marriage. My 

brother and I stayed there a lot and from 

them I learned about faith, about love and 

about peace. These bittersweet memories 

from my own trunk are a source of great joy 

and also profound sorrow. And a deeper understanding 

of myself. 

In the words of an ancient Scottish proverb 

on memories of the past…”take a cup of 

kindness yet and of auld lang syne.” May the 

holidays bring you warmth and happiness 

and goodwill.

Can you see your brand in 2020? 

OGK CREATIVE 

By Jefffrey Lebowski 

photos by Walter Sobchak 

{If you follow the yellow brick road all the way to the end of 

“The Ave” you’ll probably stumble upon one of the creative 

world’s most treasured (and best kept) secrets. 

Tucked away amongst the touristy surf 

shops and tasty pizza dives on the southside 

of the shared strip of asphalt we all call 

“home” rises a stout two-story building on the 

corner of Bronson and Atlantic; that, despite 

its retro-style curb appeal, houses something 

every brand (or future brand) in our modern 

world can truly benefit from. 

What’s there you ask? What could this visibly 

vintage, yet endearingly subtle structure, 

softly sprinkled with beautifully designed neon 

orange signs perched perfectly upon it’s freshly 

painted creamy white surface be housing? 

Well, if you’re not one of the fortunate few 

already reaping the benefits of being “in the 

know”—we’re talking about the one and only 

OGK Creative, right here in Delray Beach, FL! 

This small (but incredibly powerful) branding 

and marketing agency is filled to the brim 

with brilliant minds and even mightier hearts! 

In 2016 alone, they have almost tripled 

their creative staff while adding two all-new 

divisions to enhance their clients’ brands and 

expand their marketing reach. OGK Next and 

OGK Motion are now fully functional, miniature 

juggernauts that can already run with— 

and even get ahead of—the pack. 


How far can these creative guys and gals go? Well, after speaking 

briefly with Christopher Occhipinti—a founding partner—he noted 

that the OGKrew is busy developing monumental concepts and establishing 

processes for what they’re proudly calling “OGK 2020.” 

According to Occhipinti, “it’s all 

about 20/20 for us.” Besides being 

“ 

We’re going to be the 

first creative agency to 

bring real national and 

international attention 

to Delray Beach by 

generating a massive 

local spotlight to help 

build up local business. 

” 

- Roiby Gonzalez, 

Executive Creative Director 

“perfect eyesight” he chuckled, “it’s 

also the backbone of our business 

and marketing strategy for the future 

of our agency—and the world 

of branding as we’re going to know 

it.” Occhipinti added “by the year 

2020, OGK Creative and the world 

around us will have undoubtedly 

continued to evolve and grow into 

something that most people, companies 

and brands really can’t forecast 

or predict right now.” Occhipinti 

admitted “yeah, that could sound a 

bit obvious and possibly even a tiny 

bit ambiguous” he laughed, “but 

trust us, there’s massive amounts 

of energy and thought going into 

precisely how we’ll be able to ensure our brands and marketing 

efforts remain light years ahead of the competition.” 

Craig Kuperman, co-founder and partner at the local agency, 

explained that “adding the two new divisions has been a massive 

undertaking both logistically and financially, but it’s all part of our 

20/20 plan. We’ve never been stronger and more confident in the 

team and people we have on-board and we couldn’t be more excited 

for the future.” He continued, “we took the plunge and so far 

the experience and the results have been well worth it!” 

Kuperman also went on to call out the creative industry as a 

whole, stating, “give us another year or two and we’ll be one of 

the best all-around branding, marketing, and content agencies in 

South Florida. We’ll probably even start knocking on the doors of 

some of the bigger firms worldwide.” 

Strong words for sure, but the optimistic outlook for #OGK2020 

doesn’t stop at 1200 E. Atlantic Avenue either. The vast majority of 

their tenured clients gave nothing but rave reviews and said that 

working with OGK Creative is a “truly fun and unique experience!” 

One client noted “they really live the lyrics and get into the brands 

and companies they work with. They become an established part 

of your team and truly learn and integrate themselves into every 

aspect of your culture.” The client smirked, “they’re almost like a 

welcome creative virus that just kinda takes over and makes everything 

beautifully functional…” 

For us common folk, we’ll just have to sit around wishing, hoping, 

and waiting to see just exactly what the next three years (and 

the end of 2016) hold for our “big, bright futures.” But if Occhipinti 

and the crew at OGK’s enthusiasm and excitement are any indication, 

it’s going to be an “ultra high-def, wide-eyed wonderland 

of extremely subversive content and brands that do far more than 

just interact with you on a handheld screen, TV, or laptop.” 

This group has a large vision for the future and they undeniably 

have the team to make it all happen for your company and your 

brand. Start something BIG and find your way over to OGK Creative 

to see what all the buzz is about.

special feature ║ The Chamber of Commerce 

we’ve got it 

{ 

What is it? We need each other more than ever as we 

navigate the swift-moving waters of a global economy 

and tidal waves of technological advancements— 

while growing our businesses and enjoying the 

quality of life that Delray Beach has to offer. 

Here at the Greater Delray Beach Chamber 

of Commerce you’ll find an enthusiastic 

community eager to help you succeed. 

Collectively, we’ve reinvented an 

all-American institution and created a 

modern, eclectic hub where business, education, 

jobgrowth, tourism, government 

affairs, entrepreneurship, technology, 

healthcare, arts and culture intersect and 

thrive. There’s simply no other organization 

like it. 

What makes IT special? 

When people pass through the doors of 

the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, 

they immediately notice something different—we’ve 

worked hard to make it that 

way. For some, the Chamber represents 

the solution for something they’ve been 

longing for, but weren’t sure where to 

look. We’ve heard it described as walking 

into the arms of a welcoming family. Many 

call it “connection”. Others say it’s “culture”. 

Some call it “vibe,” We’re not sure 

ourselves what to call it exactly. We do 

know for certain, however, it’s something 

you can’t bottle—and it is something truly 

special. 

How It can benefit me? 

You’ll be amazed at the types of businesses 

that have relocated to Delray Beach in the 

last several years. Our long-time business 

owners, coupled with our new up-andcoming 

entrepreneurs, create a vibrant business 

landscape like no other—if you’re in business, 

there’s no question the Chamber will 

benefit you. 

it is: rewarding community involvement. 

it is: helping many become better business 

leaders. 

it is: helping individuals to connect, grow 

& thrive. 

it is: equipping people to be the best 

they can be—at work and at home. 

it is: a group of lifelong friends, who 

“do life” together. Who celebrate. And 

laugh. And cry. And encourage. The Benefits 

of it you ask? They are limitless… 

How do I get it?

Chamber of Commerce. To

ALL ABOUT FLORIDA HOMES / 

KELLER WILLIAMS 


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. 

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 December 

31, 2016 you’ll receive the entire exam for $27. 

(Ava, Franklin, and Dr. Elan) 

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.

City People 

MARJORIE WALDO 

A Hero Of The People For The People 

By Diane Feen 

{ 

Photo by melissa korman 

There’s not much that gets in the way of 

Marjorie Waldo accomplishing a goal. 

That is probably the reason she was chosen for the 

coveted position as President and CEO of the Arts Garage 

in Delray Beach. 

Though she was a drama major in college her passage 

through adulthood led her on a journey that 

ranged from finance to social work but eventually led to 

what she refers to as her magical moment. 

“I was hired as a substitute teacher in New Jersey 

(near Princeton) but after one week I went to the head 

of the English Department and said ‘make me the teacher.’ 

It was a magical moment for me and I realized I had 

finally found my niche,” said the Virginia native who admits 

to transforming her rebellious nature into Midas 

strength tenacity. 

Waldo has accomplished a lot in her life and her career. 

As a teacher she directed high school plays, wrote 

courses such as “New Voices in Literature,” chaired a 

diversity committee, was an academic coordinator, regional 

coach trainer, Executive Director for a juvenile 

offender program, a school Principal and too many other 

titles to mention (without writing a book about her). 

One of the most pivotal moments in her academic 

career was at Tomorrow’s Promise Community School. 

She started as a life skills instructor but became the 

Principal. But, Waldo was never your typical principal. 

She launched a positive behavior support system, developed 

and managed annual budgets (Federal Title I 

and IDEA grants), led ESE and ELL programming, introduced 

enrichment opportunities and extracurricular 

programming. She also engaged students in the arts, 

helped with their family issues, and was a helping hand 

in their emotional, spiritual and psychological growth. 

To say that Waldo is well rounded in developing 

young people’s potential would be like saying the sun 

will rise tomorrow morning. “Marjorie gets joy seeing 

the transformation of kids that were rejected by society. 

She helps them see the greatness inside themselves 

before they do. It takes a special person to do that, but 

Marjorie communicates with them and breaks down 

their barriers,” said Josette Cantave, who worked with 

Waldo at Delray Youth Professional School. 

In her role as Principal at Franklin Academy she led 

the school from a C to an A school in one year. She also 

raised funds, worked with parents and families and did 

pretty much what one would expect of a wizard (not a 

human). 

But Waldo always finds a way to circumvent the 

usual and dash to the finish line when she sees fit. It’s 

the way she grew up and the way she does business. “I 

enjoy new challenges and like to learn new things, even 

if I have to puzzle it out. If people say you can’t do something 

I will show them we can do it. I like growing.” 

Growth is what inspired Waldo to get an M. A. in 

Educational Leadership from FAU, and growth is what 

keeps her on the precipice of new challenges in her career. 

When asked what’s in store for the future of this 

hometown buffet of the arts, Waldo doesn’t come up for 

air for a while. 

“We need strong leadership and outreach to carry out 

the mission of the Arts Garage. There are four pillars: 

Music and Theater, which we are doing well and want to 

continue to honor the patronage and demographic. The 

third is community outreach, bringing the performing 

arts to all citizens and age groups so they can enjoy and 

learn from the performing arts. This will entail new 

partnerships, clinics, videos and youth projects. The 

fourth is to expand educational programming.” 

Educational programming will include performing 

arts camps, music sessions, after-school programming 

and exciting new programs involving film and video. 

According to Waldo, there is one ingredient that 

must be on the docket to make the Arts Garage fresh 

and fulfilling. “All the pieces need to be alive and crackling 

with electricity. You need to be able to feel the magical 

energy at this venue.” 

Magic and excitement play a big role in Waldo’s life. 

Never one to be a shrinking violet she refused to take 

home economics in high school and fought to be the 

only woman to take woodshop. “I refuse to be defined 

by a stereotype.” 

And she’s not. Waldo chaired a diversity committee 

in New Jersey and worked with at-risk children in 

90 


South Florida. She knew that working with 

disadvantaged youth entailed getting involved 

with their families and working from 

the ground up. At Tomorrow’s Promise she 

helped over 200 former drop-outs graduate 

from high school, learned how to write grants 

and be accountable for public dollars. 

On a personal note Waldo has two children 

who also excel in the educational realm. 

Daughter Zoe (who is 17) attends the IB Program 

at Atlantic High School and 13-year-old 

Izak goes to Carver Middle School. “My kids 

are everything to me,” said the single mother 

who was born in Key West. “Both are honor 

students and we’re always going to horseback 

riding lessons, basketball and football practice, 

science fairs and honor roll events. We 

also travel together and go on fun adventures.” 

When talking to Waldo you can hear the 

bells ringing in her creative consciousness. 

She has ideas and inspiration from her years 

creating cultural and sociological paths for 

those who love the arts (and for those who do 

not know it exists). 

“I am excited about the Arts Garage because 

it is a home-grown grass roots cultural entity. 

What other city do you know that recognizes 

the value of culture and the arts and supports 

it wholeheartedly with passion. Making 

it come alive is Kismet. All of the pieces and 

passions of my life intersect here.” 

Welcome to Arts Garage legend Ms. Waldo. 

We can see the blaze of greatness in your smile.

Recipe 

Filet of Beef Wrapped in 

Bacon with Wild Mushroom 

and Rosemary Sauce 

by yvette roulette 

{Ok , so we made it through Thanksgiving and now the holiday season 

goes into fast forward mode! 

There are Holiday parties to attend and host, as well as our own family 

obligations, and then ending with the beginning a new year... 

So, here is my absolute favorite main dish to serve my family...it’s very 

easy to prepare and ALWAYS a crowd pleaser. It’s almost impossible to 

mess up and there are NEVER leftovers. This recipe serves 6 to 8. 

Do not shy away from making this simple and absolutely delicious dish 

because it’s a tenderloin also known as filet mignon...the better the cut 

of beef, the less it needs and the easier it is to prepare! 


FOR THE BEEF 

1 whole tenderloin of beef (USDA Prime or Choice only) 3 ½ to 

4 lbs trimmed 

Freshly ground pepper 

4 to 6 oz of apple smoked bacon sliced medium thick 

Kosher salt 

4 large sprigs of fresh rosemary 

For the Sauce 

4 Tbsp unsalted butter 

2 medium shallots, minced 

3 oz each of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms - stems removed, 

caps cut into ¼ x ½ inch strips 

3/4 cup dry red wine 

3/4 cup apple cider 

3 Tbsp cider vinegar 

1½ cups beef broth 

2 Tsp minced fresh rosemary 

*This sauce can be made ahead* 

JAW 

MEET 

FLOOR 

make the sauce 

Set a large skillet over medium heat and pt in 2 tbsp of butter. Add 

the shallots and sauté until tender, 1 - 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms 

and cook until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add the wine, cider, 

and cider vinegar; raise the heat to medium high and reduce the 

liquids by about three quarters. Add the beef broth and again reduce 

by half. Take the pan off the heat. Add the rosemary, whisk in the 

remaining 2 tbps of butter, and taste for seasonings. 

Branding. Marketing. Web. 

OGK.agency / 561.450.6721 

prepare the beef 

Season the filet with pepper. Fold the thin tail piece over itself, 

and if needed, shape the larger head piece into as long a shape 

as possible. Wrap the bacon strips around the filet, leaving some 

space between each strip (it’s tempting to want to cover the filet 

completely with bacon, but resist! Too much bacon will overwhelm 

the flavor of the beef). Using butcher’s twine, tie the filet at regular 

intervals to keep the bacon in place and to even the shape of the 

beef as much as possible. If you’re working ahead, refrigerate the 

filet until half an hour before you’re ready to roast it. Heat oven to 

375 degrees. Season the meat liberally with salt and pepper. Tuck 

sprigs of rosemary under the twine along the length of the filet . Set 

the roast on a rack in a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet and 

put it in the oven. If there are drippings, periodically use a pastry 

brush or a spoon to remove excess fat that renders out of the bacon 

and brush it onto the roast (the rendered fat may cause your oven 

to smoke a bit). If the bacon begins to brown too quickly, loosely tent 

the filet with foil for the rest of the cooking time. After 40 minutes, 

insert an instant read thermometer deep into the thickest part of the 

meat; you’re looking for a temperature of 128 degrees for medium 

rare (remember that the filet will continue to cook while it rests). 

Depending on its thickness, the filet should take 45 minutes to an 

hour. Remove the filet from the oven, tent with foil, and let it rest for 

10 minutes before slicing. 

TO SERVE 

Reheat the sauce gently and thin with a little water, if needed. Whisk 

in the rest of the butter. Cut the beef into 3/4 inch slices and arrange 

on plates. Drizzle on the mushroom sauce, serve serve on the side.

MISC ║ ask the petxpert 

This question regarding pets and our environment 

made me recall an alarming article 

that I read about our most recent hurricane 

and learned that livestock waste would 

overflow into the capture lagoons and pollute 

neighboring wells and water supply. 

According to another reference, Source Molecular, 

a leader in Microbial Source Tracking; 

stated that “Some farms allow their range cattle 

to have direct access to streams, lakes, reservoirs 

or dugouts, which creates problems with 

water quality because cows not only drink the 

water but also defecate in and around it. This not 

only affects the cow’s health and productivity 

but also agricultural and non-agricultural downstream 

users.” When these cows, pigs, chickens 

and other livestock consume inappropriate diets, 

it leads to massive excessive fecal matter. 

Now let’s look at our dogs and cats. We have a 

population of over three hundred million people 

and over 90% will own a pet. How many dogs 

and cats do we really have? How much poop do 

we scoop and pick up every year? Where does it 

go? A client recently said to me, “I changed my 

canine and feline pets to real food and raw diets 

and witnessed a significant decrease in their fecal 

matter. I know that it is more digestible but 

WOW!” It is a fact that if you feed a raw food, 

species appropriate diet, you are looking at 90% 

digestible foods. If you feed a commercial kibble, 

ask the petXpert 

Is My Pet Killing Our Planet? 

dry pet food diet, the kibble is only 20% digestible 

which 80% is then excreted as fecal waste. 

We are feeding our pets in a way that produces 

up to 75% more toxic waste than necessary. 

It’s much worse than most realize. The processing 

of commercial pet foods includes high 

heat, energy consuming processes and up to 200 

chemicals that are not listed on the label. Let’s 

look at the lifetime of chemicals we actually give 

to our pets. For a so-called “healthy” pet, there 

are monthly treatments for parasites such as 

heartworms, intestinal worms, fleas, ticks and 

other pathogens along with all the vaccinations 

containing toxic heavy metals, preservatives, 

stabilizers and the actual pathogens. 

For health challenged pets, we have the 

plethora of medications including a wide array 

of antibiotics, narcotic pain drugs, steroids, 

anti-inflammatory and anti-psychotic drugs, as 

well as chemotherapeutics. Most have warning 

labels including the black box meaning extreme 

care when consuming and handling. Think about 

the waste they are excreting from their bodies. 

Did you even consider that all these toxins 

and chemicals are being deposited on our lawns 

then transferred to trash cans, trash trucks and 

to our landfills? The preservatives and synthetics 

in these commercial foods inhibit and prevent 

the fecal matter from decomposing naturally. 

Scary isn’t it? 

Animals in nature eating a species appropriate 

diet free from drugs, chemicals, food additives 

and preservatives provide minimal waste 

that actually feeds the plants and environment 

with usable nutrients. 

It is in the best interest for our pets and any 

other domestic animals to be fed a nutrient 

dense, chemical free species appropriate diet 

that is not only more efficient to digest but also 

to improve immune health. They do not have to 

expend vital metabolic energy to attempt to process 

inappropriate indigestible ingredients that 

do nothing more than produce more toxic waste. 

In an attempt to provide our pets with optimal 

health and to improve and safeguard our 

natural environment in an ecologically responsible 

way, doesn’t it make sense for every pet 

parent to take responsibility to do their part? We 

can reduce the amount of fecal waste by reducing 

the food chemicals and by keeping our pets 

drug free with holistic natural approaches. Let’s 

all do our part to promote a healthier environment 

for all creatures.

MISC ║ HUMOR 

Dates: The Final Frontier… 

By Rick Dickert 

{ 

As humans, we are the only species to subject ourselves to the 

phenomenon of “dating.” The closest animal behaviour to this is 

probably when lemmings plunge themselves over a cliff. 

Let’s consider that a man asks a lady out. 

Many dates involve restaurants, and the 

owners of fine dining establishments are 

quite happy to play along. That’s why the 

lady’s menu doesn’t show prices. It can be 

awkward ordering a pricey entrée when 

the gentleman’s assumed to be paying. The 

man’s menu does show the prices so if the 

lady orders surf’n’turf, he’s aware of his financial 

investment in the evening. By the 

way it’s tacky to watch the lady order catch 

of the day at market price, then hand the 

menu to the waiter saying “In that case I’ll 

have the $12.95 spaghetti.” 

On the other hand, some women don’t eat 

in front of dates the way they do at home. 

The same lady who can wolf down a can of 

ravioli in three spoonfuls standing over her 

kitchen sink may daintily cut walnut halves 

into quarters while eating a Waldorf salad 

in front of her suitor. With some food there’s 

also the possibility of providing an unflattering 

visual. If a gal’s not coordinated, she 

probably won’t treat her gentleman to the 

vision of her twirling spaghetti onto a fork 

only to have it unravel at her lips and be 

forced to suck it into her mouth like a scene 

from Lady And The Tramp. She could break 

down and cut the pasta with her knife; that 

way only the wait staff would think she was 

a loser. 

Ladies typically have no trouble knowing 

which cutlery to use. The most important 

tip is to use the shiniest knife to check teeth 

for reflection of food particles; the truly savvy 

ladies will wait till their date has left the 

table before doing this. 

Selecting wine is a chance for the gentleman 

to appear worldly. The waiter will 

present the cork for inspection and decant 

a small amount for him to sample. It’s best 


to swirl the wine briefly, sip and then look 

thoughtfully at the ceiling before accepting 

it. All most men really need to know about 

wine on a date is that in small amounts it 

can be an aphrodisiac and in large amounts 

it’s birth control from passing out. 

The last course is often a “special coffee” 

prepared at the couple’s table. It’s usually a 

contradiction of alcohol and caffeine with 

sugar thrown in for added energy. A goblet 

is dipped in lemon juice, then sugar and 

turned over open flame, causing the sugar 

to caramelize. It’s very sensual if you’re not 

distracted by the realization that hairspray 

is extremely flammable. Liquor is added, lit 

and swirled to heat the glass. Fresh coffee 

is then added, leaving room for a generous 

portion of whipped cream and powdered 

chocolate. This is a very appetizing process 

as the couple ponders further encounters, 

possibly that very evening after they leave 

the restaurant. Theoretically the liquor 

loosens inhibitions and the coffee maintains 

awareness and resists the booze. Basically 

the beverage makes the next step of the evening 

even more difficult. 

If the date was a disaster, the correct way 

to cut losses is to declare sleepiness immediately 

after leaving the restaurant and 

during the ride home if it was a carpooling 

date. When thanking the other person for a 

lovely time, remember nobody’s under oath. 

After parting for the evening, chock it up to 

experience - And start choosing a distant 

city to refer to when you send your date the 

“change of address” notice in the morning.
