Cheers to a New Year! 

Welcome 2021! 

Icannot recall in my (relatively short) lifetime ever being more hopeful 

for a New Year. Many of us are craving a sense of normalcy; gathering 

with family and friends, hugging, and kissing each other when we 

greet – I really miss those little things. 

If quarantine has left you a bit fluffy, Delray Beach is the place to be! 

Our Village by the Sea is chock full of places to get in shape, shed some of 

that Quarantine 15, and get a jump on everyone’s favorite resolution – lose 

weight! Picturesque downtown, Pineapple Grove, and Ocean Boulevard are 

great places to walk or run. For a more intense workout, there are gyms or 

fitness studios to fit your style of training all around town. Check out our 

advertisers for New Year deals! 

City Person Keith Tomey is the Delray Beach Fire Chief. He fell in love with 

firefighting at the age of 18 as a volunteer firefighter. In his 33-year career 

he has been a Volunteer, a Firefighter Paramedic, Fire Chief in several South 

Florida cities, and every position in between. Read about his extensive 

career and experience inside. 

Have a Healthy and Happy New Year – 

the world needs to heal, let’s do what we can to help. 

Every new 

beginning 

comes from 

some other 

beginning’s 

end.

Members of the Rotary Club of Delray Beach and 

Kiwanis Club of Delray Beach teamed up TO STaff 

a local precinct during the AuguST primary and 

November general election 

The two service clubs responded to a 

call from Supervisor of Elections Wendy 

Sartory Link seeking to fill a poll worker 

shortage due the COVID-19 pandemic. Together 

the organizations volunteered to 

staff the polling location at Veteran’s Park, 

which serves two precincts. 

“Rotary and Kiwanis have always had 

a friendly rivalry,” said long-time Kiwanis 

member Ezra Krieg, who help coordinate 

the project for the two clubs. “This was 

an opportunity for our two clubs to join 

forces in our efforts to fill a need and better 

serve our community.” “It was great to 

work closely with Roger Caine and Judy 

Molica of Rotary to make sure everything 

went smoothly and without a hitch.” 

In addition to ensuring the polling place 

was staffed for more than 12 hours each 

election day, members of the two clubs 

also went through a rigorous six-hour 

training session. 

For their efforts each club received close 

to $3,000 from the Supervisor of Elections 

Office for the two days. The funds will 

be used to support non-profit organizations 

serving Delray Beach residents and 

to support community projects. The two 

clubs hope to work together again at the 

March municipal elections or other upcoming 

elections. 

Delray Beach’s 

Go Pink Breast 

Cancer Awareness 

Walk with The 

Seagate Hotel 


The ‘Go Pink Challenge’ Breast Cancer 

Awareness & Women’s Health 1 Mile 

walk that occurred November 21st was a 

huge success. Put on by The Hamlet Residents 

Association & The Seagate Hotel & 

Spa at the outdoor Tennis Center West 

Yard, the event drew a masked crowd safe 

enough to enjoy the day for a good cause. 

Proceeds from the Go Pink Challenge 

went to The Boca Raton Regional Hospital 

Foundation to provide the most advanced 

care for their patients, and raised money for 

needed technological advancements such as 

a fully digital, accessible Mammovan to provide 

mammograms mobily. 

In collaboration with The Seagate’s 

‘Seagate Safe’ initiative, pink masks were 

also provided. Among the local attendees 

were the Palm Beach County Fire and Sheriff 

Dept and Ginny Clark, Executive Director 

of the Sands Family Foundation who oversees 

its philanthropic activities to support 

the Delray Beach community and beyond. 

Boca West 

Children’s 

Foundation’s 

8th Annual Golf 

Challenge Raised 

$400,000 for Local 

Children’s Charities 

Boca West Children’s Foundation (BWCF) 

held its 8th Annual $100,000 Golf Challenge, 

on November 22 at Boca West Country 

Club, raising more than $400,000 for its 

local children’s charity partners. 

The golf challenge served as fundraisers 

for each of the Foundation’s 31 participating 

charity partners. Earlier this year, the 

Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary 

and the granting of more than $10 million 

for projects that serve at-risk youth. 

The event highlight was the annual 

Duck Drop in which 600 (fake) ducks were 

dropped from a crane with the “owner” of 

the duck landing closest to the hole winning 

$2,500. The event also featured boxed 

breakfast, gifts for each golfer and boxed 

lunch stops featuring lobster rolls, sirloin 

slider, sandwiches and more. 

Participants were able to purchase raffle 

tickets with prizes including a $7,000 shopping 

spree from Saks Fifth Avenue Boca Raton, 

a weekend at the Boca Raton Resort & 

Club with a round of golf, and a “Celebrity 

cruise on the fly,” in which the winner can 

choose from a variety of cruises on dates 

that work for them, courtesy of Scott Grody 

Travel. Raffle tickets are on sale through 

the end of the year with proceeds directly 

benefiting the partner charities. 

Golfers had the opportunity to golf on 

courses that have been ranked among the 

best in the world, alongside St. Andrews, 

Pine Valley, Pebble Beach and Pinehurst. 

The event was socially distanced, with a 

limited number of participants, stringent

guidelines, and assigned tee times. 

“Many of our charity partners had to cancel 

their fundraisers this year so the golf 

challenge served as a fundraiser for each 

of our participating children’s non-profits,” 

said Pamela Weinroth, Executive Director 

of Boca West Children’s Foundation.

raffle tickets or for more information.

Delray Under $50 

Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels 

Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple 

Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more 

to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings 

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

do in Delray Beach in January for $50 or less. 

Regardless if you are sick, it’s cold outside, or you’re missing 

home, there’s almost nothing that a comforting bowl of soup 

can’t fix. January is National Soup Month and is a great idea 

for almost any meal. (If you haven’t had ramen for breakfast, you 

haven’t lived.) To get the best out of the soup holiday without any of 

the cooking, look no further than your favorite downtown restaurants. 

One soup destination that is a must is Señor Burrito for their 

Chicken Vegetable Soup. Served with a touch of onions and cilantro 

in a bowl that is larger than your head, this $8.50 soup is just like 

moms. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, head over to the 

Ramen Lab Eatery and slurp up some of their 5 Spiced Duck Ramen. 

Made with a family recipe, five spices duck, bean sprouts, bok 

choy, garlic oil and micro cilantro for $16, it’s a guaranteed flavor 

trip. Or, if you are in the mood for a classic done really well, City 

Oyster is dishing out some of the best seafood-focused soups in 

town. Their New England Clam Chowder ($9) and Classic Lobster 

Bisque ($13.50) will give you all the Oohs, Aahs and Mmms that 

you have been craving! Check out our Dining Guide or visit www. 

downtowndelraybeach.com for a list of restaurants. 


Creativity is key for making the most of a pandemic-filled 

year, and we can all give a little thanks to our local creative 

stars for giving us some beauty this year. January is Worldwide 

Rising Star Month and if you are looking for a reason to 

check out what’s shaking in the art space in Delray, and possibly 

stretch your legs and get outside, then mark your calendars for 

the Virtual First Friday Art Walk! Past events have always been 

held in person, but you now have the option to join in virtually 

if you are more comfortable couch surfing, which can be just as 

fun (with wine and appetizers). Held Friday, January 8 from 6 to 

9 p.m., you are invited to visit local galleries and art studios and 

meet the rising stars that are our local artists. If you are joining 

in virtually, visit the Delray DDA Facebook page that night of, or 

if you’d like to come out and check out the exhibits in person, 

the artists would love to meet you. All safety protocols will be 

in place so enjoy a night out as you start the year in a beautiful 

way. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243- 

1077 for more information and a list of participating galleries 

and studios.

Phew, this was a tough year for most small businesses. The 

pandemic caused business owners to pivot, rethink, reorganize, 

and battle to capture as much business as possible. 

We’re all hoping for an easier 2021, that’s for sure. January is International 

New Year’s Resolutions Month for Businesses and is a 

great time to take what we learned from 2020, apply the changes 

we need, ask for help getting there, and put the plan in place. If you 

are a small business owner who needs a little encouragement and 

assistance, the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency 

has your back. Not only does the CRA provide grants for small businesses, 

but they are also offer a great resource via the Small Business 

Development Center. The local SBDC offers no-cost consultation 

services to all small business owners in the CRA District and 

provides help during each stage of the business life cycle, including 

capital access, marketing, social media, executive coaching, strategic 

planning, and more. If you are ready to take your small business

to the next level, or need help strategizing for the next year, 

the SBDC and the CRA are here to help you! Visit www.delraycra.org 

or call (561) 276-8640 for more information. 

Not only did you survive an unruly 2020, but you also 

survived a mostly travel-less holiday season, which 

means plenty of party-of-one eggnog, champagne, 

wine, candy, roasts and cookies galore. It’s about time we 

gave our body a post-holiday shakedown and apology in the 

form of delicious and healthy food. January 1 through 7 is Diet 

Resolution Week and is a welcome time to maybe not completely 

revamp your diet, but maybe just refresh what goes 

in your mouth and how it benefits (or not) your body! Make a 

resolution to feel good with your food fuel and do so with the 

help of some of our local health-conscious restaurants along 

the Avenue. PurLife Cafe has it all figured out and offers fit, 

fast, and fresh food that will make you feel good. Indulge in 

guilt-free salads, wraps, power bowls, soups, and smoothies, 

all created to bring out the best in you. Or make your way to 

Bear’s Food Shack and enjoy the best acai bowls, Bear’s Big 

Bowls, and poke bowls in town. For a complete vegetarian experience, 

Whole Green Cafe has you covered with their huge 

menu stacked with healthy and too-good-to-be-true meatless 

options including wraps, meal replacement smoothies, bowls, 

salads, freshly squeezed juices and shareable starters. Dieting 

has never been this enjoyable. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com 

for restaurant information and menus. 

Another lesson we learned from COVID: balance is key. 

Binge watching your favorite shows is okay if you 

balance it with binge watching your partner’s favorite 

shows. Zinger! But seriously, life is better enjoyed when 

goals, lazy days, socializing, work, diet, and exercise are all

Reasons Most People Fail at 

Their New Year’s Resolutions 

(and How You Can Beat the Odds) 

5Who 

doesn’t 

love getting 

a fresh 

start? 

For many 

people, 

January is 

the perfect 

time to 

shake off 

old vices 

and create 

some 

positive 

new habits. 

But good intentions don’t always translate into actual change. 

By February, the majority of resolution-setters have abandoned 

their new goals and fallen back into their old ways. 

Why does this happen? There are a number of common reasons 

why most people don’t stick to their New Year’s resolutions. If you 

make one of these mistakes, you’ll probably find yourself giving up 

on your resolutions, too. 

1. Not being realistic 

Shooting for the moon isn’t always the best strategy. In fact, 

sometimes it can prevent you from even getting off the ground. Realistically, 

almost no one can learn a new language in six months 

or become a runner overnight, but many people make overly-optimistic 

resolutions like these every year. If you’re too ambitious 

with your New Year’s resolutions, you’ll end up getting burned out 

before January is over. 

2. Making too many resolutions 

Even small resolutions can be hard to keep if you make too 

many of them. It’s easy to get overwhelmed if you try to change 

more than one or two habits at a time. Besides that, making a 

lot of different resolutions is a sign that you haven’t put much 

thought into each one, and it’s easy to give up on resolutions that 

aren’t meaningful to you. 

3. Not setting specific goals 

If your resolution is something like “lose weight” or “get better 

grades,” you aren’t likely to succeed. Why? Because these goals are 

vague and hard to track. Useful goals are specific and measurable 

- for instance, “lose 10 pounds by March” or “get an A in calculus.” 

COPYRIGHTED 

4. Not making a plan 

Along with a specific goal, you need a plan. How are you going 

to turn your resolutions into reality? Many people fail at keeping 

their resolutions because they don’t turn their goals into specific 

action steps. 

5. Giving up too soon 

Perseverance is important for forming any new habit in your life, 

but many people throw in the towel on their resolutions as soon as 

something goes wrong. It’s important to stay flexible and to avoid 

getting discouraged too quickly, even if your resolutions are tougher 

to keep than you thought they’d be. Adjusting a goal to be more 

realistic is better than giving up on it completely. 


How Can You Beat the 

Odds and Keep Your 

Resolutions? 

Failing to keep New Year’s resolutions is very common - 

but the good news is that it’s not inevitable. A minority of 

people do stick to their resolutions every year, and if you’d 

like to be one of them, there are some things you can do to 

increase your odds of success. 

1. Set only resolutions that 

are meaningful TO you. 

If you don’t really care about your resolutions, you won’t 

stick to them. Avoid choosing this year’s resolutions based 

on what you think will impress other people. Instead, 

choose goals that you’re deeply invested in. 

2. Plan for the long haul. 

Many people think of New Year’s resolutions as a quick fix 

for the previous year’s problems and bad habits. In reality, 

though, it takes time to create lasting changes in your life. 

Make your resolutions with the knowledge that you’ll need 

to work on them consistently, and adopt the mindset that if 

you fall off the wagon, you’ll climb right back on. 

3. Take baby STEPS. 

Every big achievement is made up of a series of small 

action steps. Break your goals down ahead of time, so you 

won’t get overwhelmed when the new year rolls around. 

When you transform a big resolution into a lot of small, doable 

steps, you’ll always know what to do next. 

4. Track and celebrate your progress. 

One of the best ways to stay on track is to look back at 

how far you’ve come. It might be hard to see how your small 

victories matter from moment to moment, but over time, 

those little wins really add up. Keep a log of all your progress, 

and reward yourself for meeting milestones on the 

way to your main goal.

wait to see you!

The Takeaway 

New Year’s resolutions get a bad rap because most people 

give up on them after a few weeks. But if you love setting 

goals for yourself at the start of the year, don’t give up on 

the idea of resolutions just yet. Resolutions can actually be a 

very useful tool. By taking the right approach and avoiding 

these five common mistakes, you might find it easier than 

you expected to keep your resolutions all year long.

Delray Beach Market To Launch As Florida’s Largest 

Food Hall Experience Spring 2021 

Poised to be America’s premier model food 

hall with heavy emphasis on artistic eye 

candy, Delray Beach Market is readying 

to open this Spring just half-a-block south of 

Atlantic Avenue at located at 33 SE Third Avenue 

in downtown Delray Beach. 

The culturally rich institution will deliver a 

recipe of equal parts market, community locale, art 

emporium, and culinary melting pot. Delray Beach 

Market will be the largest food hall ever to break 

ground in Florida and the very first in Delray. 

Standing four stories tall at 150,000-square 

feet and featuring over 25 local and regional 

eateries with a rotating lineup of smaller artisan 

vendor pop-ups throughout. But beyond offering 

an architecturally striking arena for food and art 

to come together, Delray Beach Market will serve 

as both a communal and millennial hub for the 

city of Delray. 

Opportunities for public gatherings through creative food 

museum exhibits, collaborations with the world’s greatest food 

artists, educational celebrity culinary demonstrations, as well 

as an abundance of activations for kids and families to partake 

in throughout the week will be central to the experience. 

Construction began in November 2019 and includes 

individually-curated hospitality vendors anchored amidst a 

backdrop of stunning, large format interactive murals and 

sculptures by world-renowned artists, a four-level enclosed 

parking garage, first floor and mezzanine levels with an indoor 

and outdoor seating, and dedicated takeout/pick-up spots. 

The main hall invites guests to enjoy the exciting sights 

and sounds of the Market, where a bright and eclectic mix of 

neon and retro modern signage sets the tone for communal 

or individual dining. A central bar will present the ultimate in 

build-your-own Bloody Marys along with a 

rotating menu of seasonal cocktails. 

A craft beer bar on the ground floor will offer 

a variety of craft beer selections from Florida’s 

celebrated local breweries. At the mezzanine 

level, an open show kitchen surrounded 

with lounge areas with an additional bar will 

present a space for hosting cooking and baking 

classes, while catering to private, corporate 

and special events. 

Specialty COVID-19 design measures include 

touchless bathrooms, collapsible nanowalls for 

open-air spaces at the mezzanine special event 

level, enhanced air filter AC system, outdoor 

seating for 200, and socially-distanced spaced 

indoor seating. 

The Market will be open seven days a week 

between the hours of 7am and 11pm. Learn 

more by visiting www.delraybeachmarket.com.

January 7 

► Pieces of a Woman (Netflix) Martha (Vanessa Kirby) and Sean 

(Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood 

whose lives change irrevocably when a home birth ends in tragedy. 

Thus begins a yearlong odyssey for Martha, who must navigate grief 

while working through fractious relationships with Sean and her 

domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified 

midwife (Molly Parker), whom she must face in court. Pieces of a 

Woman is a deeply personal, searing, and ultimately transcendent 

story of a woman learning to live with her loss. Pieces of a Woman is 

directed by acclaimed Hungarian filmmaker Kornél Mundruczó. 

January 8 

► The Devil’s Light - The story of Sister Ann, a restless 25-yearold, 

who devoutly believes that performing exorcisms is her calling. 

But she is at odds with the institution’s traditions: sisters are not 

allowed to perform exorcisms, only priests. With the support of a 

mentor, a professor who senses her special gift, she is allowed to 

observe actual training sessions. Her desire to prove herself takes 

a personal turn when she meets one of the school’s most disturbed 

patients. During their harrowing encounters, Sister Ann comes 

face to face with a demonic force that infests the school and has 

mysterious ties to her own past. It is then that the power of evil and 

her own startling abilities are fully realized. 

January 15 

► The Dig is set in the late 1930s just before World War II in 

England. A wealthy widow hires an amateur archaeologist to 

excavate the burial mounds on her estate, leading to the historic 

discovery of Sutton Hoo and an undisturbed ship burial. The site is 

important in understanding the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia 

& the early Anglo-Saxon period, as it illuminates a period that lacks 

historical documentation. The Dig stars Carey Mulligan and Ralph 

Fiennes, along with Lily James, Johnny Flynn, Ben Chaplin, Ken Stott, 

Archie Barnes, and Monica Dolan. Netflix will debut The Dig in select 

theaters starting on January 15th, 2021, then streaming on Netflix 

starting January 29th, 2021 

► MLK/FBI - Based on newly declassified files, Pollard’s resonant 

film explores the US government’s surveillance and harassment of 

Martin Luther King, Jr. Despite his heroic status in history nowadays, 

MLK/FBI examines how the US government (and specifically the FBI) 

viewed him as an “enemy of the state”. Not only did they surveil him 

and follow him, they often went after him in vicious ways to 

undermine his progress and destabilize his attempts at 

unity and peace. The film is very timely examination 

of how this occurred and that even though MLK 

may not have been perfect, he’s still not the “bad 

guy” that the FBI tried to portray him as. IFC Films 

will debut Pollard’s MLK/FBI in select theaters + 

on VOD starting January 15th, 2021. 


► One Night in Miami - What happens when Cassius Clay, 

Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke all find themselves in the 

same room… The film is a fictional account of an evening in Miami 

in the 1960s, bringing together four greats who talk about their 

life and their accomplishments. Starring Eli Goree as Cassius Clay 

(aka Muhammad Ali), Kingsley Ben-Adir as Malcolm X, Leslie 

Odom Jr. as Sam Cooke, Aldis Hodge as Jim Brown. In select 

theaters starting on December 25th, then streaming on Amazon 

Prime January 15th, 2021. 

► Some Kind of Heaven - First-time feature director Lance 

Oppenheim cracks the manicured facade of The Villages, America’s 

largest retirement community – a massive, self-contained utopia 

located in Central Florida. Behind the gates of this palm tree-lined 

fantasyland, Some Kind of Heaven invests in the dreams and desires 

of a small group of The Villages residents – and one interloper – 

who are unable to find any happiness within the community’s prepackaged 

paradise. With strikingly composed cinematography, this

The Dig

candy-colored documentary offers a tender and surreal 

look at the never-ending quest for finding meaning and love 

in life’s final act. Magnolia will release Some Kind of Heaven 

in select theaters + on VOD starting January 15th, 2021. 

January 22 

► Chaos Walking - This sci-fi film is set in a dystopian 

world where there are no women and all living creatures 

can hear each other’s thoughts in a stream of images, words, 

and sounds called Noise. Which is visualized in a clever way 

in this. With the sudden appearance of a mysterious girl 

named Viola Eade, played by Daisy Ridley, they both end 

up on a journey of discovery that will change them both 

forever. Chaos Walking stars Tom Holland as Todd. 

► No Man’s Land - A modern Western inspired by 

the real-life “no man’s land” areas along the Texas- 

Mexico border. While out on a father-son border patrol, 

Jackson accidentally kills a Mexican immigrant boy. When 

Jackson’s father tries taking the blame, Jackson flees 

south on horseback, becoming a gringo “illegal alien” in 

Mexico. Chased by Texas Rangers and Mexican federales, 

Jackson journeys across Mexico to seek forgiveness from 

the dead boy’s father only to fall in love with the land he 

was taught to hate. 

► The White Tiger - From acclaimed writer-director 

Ramin Bahrani comes the epic journey of a poor Indian 

driver (Adarsh Gourav) who uses his wit and cunning to 

break free from servitude to his rich masters (Rajkummar 

Rao and Priyanka Chopra Jonas) and rise to the top of the 

heap - in his own way. 

January 29 

► The Little Things - The pic, written by John Lee 

Hancock, centers around Deke (Washington), a burnt-out 

Kern County, CA deputy sheriff who teams with Baxter 

(Malek), a crack LASD detective, to nab a serial killer. Deke’s 

nose for the “little things” proves eerily accurate, but his 

willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a 

soul-shattering dilemma. Meanwhile, Deke must wrestle 

with a dark secret from his past.

► The Night - This unsettling horror is about an Iranian 

couple living in the US that becomes trapped inside a hotel

The Third Rainbow 

Girl: The Long Life of 

a Double Murder in 

Appalachia 

by Emma Copley Eisenberg 


New York Times “100 Notable Books of 

2020.” A stunning, complex narrative 

A 

about the fractured legacy of a decades-old 

double murder in rural West Virginia — and 

the writer determined to put the pieces back 

together. 

In the early evening of June 25, 1980 in 

Pocahontas County, West Virginia, two middle-class 

outsiders named Vicki Durian, 26, 

and Nancy Santomero, 19, were murdered in 

an isolated clearing. They were hitchhiking 

to a festival known as the Rainbow Gathering 

but never arrived. For thirteen years, no one 

was prosecuted for the “Rainbow Murders” 

though deep suspicion was cast on a succession 

of local residents in the community, 

depicted as poor, dangerous, and backward. 

In 1993, a local farmer was convicted, only 

to be released when a known serial killer 

and diagnosed schizophrenic named Joseph 

Paul Franklin claimed responsibility. As time 

passed, the truth seemed to slip away, and the 

investigation itself inflicted its own traumas 

— turning neighbor against neighbor and 

confirming the fears of violence outsiders 

have done to this region for centuries. 

In The Third Rainbow Girl, Emma Copley 

Eisenberg uses the Rainbow Murders case 

as a starting point for a thought-provoking 

tale of an Appalachian community bound by 

the false stories that have been told about it. 

Weaving in experiences from her own years 

spent living in Pocahontas County, she follows 

the threads of this crime through the 

complex history of Appalachia, revealing how 

this mysterious murder has loomed over all 

those affected for generations, shaping their 

fears, fates, and desires. Beautifully written 

and brutally honest, The Third Rainbow Girl 

presents a searing and wide-ranging portrait 

of America — divided by gender and class and 

haunted by its own violence.

Non-Surgical Approach 

To A Herniated Disc 

The medical phrase “herniated disc” is widely used to describe injury to 

the spine. It refers to the incidence of derangement within the spinal 

column in which there is injury to the spongy cushions (discs) between 

the individual bones (vertebrae). Herniated discs are most common 

when a person is in their thirties of forties however it can affect any age 

group especially when the aging population is active. 

It is most notably associated with the lumbar region (lower 

back) but can also affect the cervical region (neck) and 

thoracic (mid back) region with less prevalence. 

Quite often herniated discs in the lumbar region will 

produce sciatica (leg pain) and in the cervical region 

will produce arm pain. Dysesthesias (numbness 

and tingling) in the arms and legs are also 

associated with lesions involving the spinal discs. 

The disc itself lies between two adjacent vertebrae 

and is composed of a hard outer shell called 

the annulus and a gelatinous substance on 

the inside called the nucleus. The nucleus 

provides key structural support elements 

for the spine as it acts as a “shock 

absorber” for the spine so that the vertebrae 

do not touch each other. The 

cushion also creates a space between 

the vertebrae so that the spinal nerves 

can exit unharmed. However, the nucleus 

also contains certain chemical irritants such 

as tumor necrosis factor-alpha which can be 

toxic for nerves. Therefore it is of paramount 

importance that it remains within its shell. The 

annulus acts as the outer shell or barrier and is a 

resilient tissue made up of fibrocartilage. 

A herniated disc occurs when fissures (tears) 

form in the annulus or outer shell which allows 

for the nucleus to escape and get into dangerously 

close contact with the spinal nerves. The most offensive 

posture for the lumbar disc is sitting. This 

provides the greatest load on the disc and increases 

probability of herniation. Therefore sedentary 

lifestyles and jobs requiring prolonged 

sitting are deleterious for the discs. Other activities 

such as bending and twisting are also very 


damaging to the discs especially if repetitive. Lastly, acute events 

such as lifting something very heavy without proper support can 

injure the spinal discs. 

The “gold standard” for conservative, non-invasive treatment 

of disc herniations is non-surgical spinal decompression 

therapy. This treatment acts to create a negative pressure 

or vacuum within the spinal canal essentially retracting 

some of the disc material back into the annulus and away 

from the sensitive spinal nerves. In fact the pressure within 

the disc can get to minus 150 mm/HG. The most recent 

clinical study of 219 patients has showed 

that spinal decompression therapy 

provided an immediate resolution 

of symptoms for 86% of 

the participants while 84% 

remained pain free 90 

days post-treatment. In 

combination with a revolutionary 

modality termed 

class IV highpower laser 

therapy which accelerates tissue 

healing by tenfold through 

“kick-starting” the cellular machinery 

in the injured tissue, the outcomes 

are even more staggering. Core strengthening 

specifically designed for a disc herniation 

(which differs from other lumbar spine injuries) 

should not be ignored and should be a 

part of any protocol for injured discs.

The Businessperson’s 

Wrinkle Free Solution! 

Finally, something that can tighten skin and reduce 

facial wrinkles, TODAY, without painful injections, without 

burning lasers, without peeling and disfiguring scabby 

down time. Seems hard to believe, right? Well, get a load 

of this. No toxins, no needles, no cutting, no artificial 

fillers, no surgery, no bruising, no downtime...Nada!! 

ThermiSmooth is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure 

to safely treat mild to moderate facial wrinkles with 

no pain and little, if any downtime. Using this advanced 


FDA approved radio wave technology, the ThermiSmooth system 

precisely heats the deep layers of the skin while completely 

sparing the epidermis (top layer of the skin), leaving it undamaged. 

This creates deep results without the downtime. The heat 

generated in the deeper skin levels causes the collagen in the 

skin to contract and tighten. After a treatment, the skin begins 

to ramp up new collagen production, which improves firmness 

and reduces wrinkle depth. The result is an immediate, naturally 

refreshed appearance. 

Some tout this to be the greatest “event” facial of all time. Why? 

Because immediate results will last for about 48 hours. So you can 

look your all time best when you need to, like going to a wedding, 

on a job interview, the first “date,” Saturday night on the “Ave”… 

Ultimately, it takes about a month for the collagen to finish remodeling 

and to see maximum results. 

ThermiSmooth does not require anesthesia or skin cooling. 

Patients can expect to feel a deep warming sensation in the 

area being treated. Because the skin is not numb, the patient 

can describe the depth of the feeling to the doctor, and alert the 

doctor if the heat grows uncomfortable, which helps to ensure the 

best possible results. Patients can also return to home or work 

immediately. 

ThermiSmooth can be used to treat the skin on the face, including 

the eye area, neck, hands and virtually any area. This nifty 

devise is not made to take the place of a face lift nor proclaim 

to offer comparable results. However, because a full facial treatment 

takes only about an hour, ThermiSmooth fits easily into 

busy schedules. With just a single, half hour treatment, you could 

be on your way to firmer, tighter skin—with results that can last 

up to six months.

Jumpin’ Into The New Year! 

The holidays are over and you’re ready to de-fluff and jump back on the 

fitness wagon. Like most, you have most likely set some fitness related 

New Year Resolution. Here are some tips to make sure these resolutions 

are attainable and will work for you. It is all about having goals and plan! 

A healthier version of you is just a couple steps away! 

1. Make Realistic Resolutions 

Don’t set yourself up for failure before you begin! 

Set goals that are attainable and realistic. The 

more accomplished you feel the more likely you 

are to stay motivated and pushing toward your 

goals. A resolution shouldn’t be a fantasy. If 

you’ve never lifted weights, attempting to do 

so 7 days per week is probably setting yourself 

up for disappointment. For most people, 

breaking or setting new habits doesn’t happen 

overnight. The key to sustainable resolutions 

is to make small changes gradually. If your 

goal is to go from never running to finishing 

a half-marathon, start training gradually. 

Begin by walking a few miles twice a week, 

and steadily increase the workload to jogging, 

and then running over several months. 

Just keep the word “realistic” in your mind and 

you’ll be off to a good start! 

2. Get Specific With Your Goals 

Resolutions should be both specific and measurable. 

Writing down your goals is not only a great way 

to accomplish them, but your list can also help you 

figure out the exact steps needed to get where you 

want to go. “I want to lose weight” is a pretty common 

New Year resolution, but how exactly do you 

go from point A to point B? Instead, try setting a 

more specific goal. For instance: “I want to lose 10 

pounds over the next 6 weeks by eliminating fast 

food meals and going to the gym 3 to 4 times per 

week. I’ll then maintain my goal weight for 6 months 

before setting any other new goals.” The more specific 

your goal the better your results will be. The vaguer your 

goals are the harder it will be to attain them. 

3. Set Non-Superficial Goals 

Looking good in a swimsuit is always a good goal but superficial 

goals usually lose their appeal after endless weeks 

of diet and exercise. Instead, try picking a goal related to 

health and happiness. For example, regular exercise has 


awesome benefits such as lowering cholesterol, boosting overall 

energy, and even increasing happiness and decreasing 

depression. Bringing some deeper intentions to 

your workout can make all the difference in sticking 

to your goals. Looking good in a swimsuit should 

come secondary to your main goal. 

4. Buddy Up 

Find a friend or someone with likeminded 

goals to keep and hold you accountable. Accountability 

is huge! You are much more likely 

to stay on track when you have someone 

to answer to besides yourself. A buddy 

should also serve to help motivate and 

keep things real. They should have no 

problem telling you to put that French 

fry down and get your booty to the 

gym when you’re lacking your own 

motivation. If your buddy isn’t doing 

their job, fire them and find a new one! 

There is always someone looking to become 

healthy and fit. 

5. Reevaluate 

Resolutions Often 

How many people resolve to finish a 

marathon, only to realize they dislike distance 

running? Or decide to take up yoga 

and realize they want something fasterpaced? 

A lot of things seem fun from a 

distance but might not be a good fit. If this 

happens to you, switch gears and pick a different 

resolution. Don’t be afraid to switch it 

up if it isn’t working. You’re much more likely 

to stick with something that you truly enjoy.

A World of Healing – 

Dr. Tony Willcox 

BY diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

Dr. Tony has always strived 

to be the best in his field. An 

authentic healer, and student 

of people’s highest aspirations, 

Dr. Tony looks for solutions to 

make patients’ lives soar. 

He treats medical issues that range from insomnia to digestive 

complaints, depression, anxiety, back, neck and knee pain, 

infertility and dozens of other ailments. 

But instead of medication and surgery Dr. Tony has been successful 

using Eastern healing techniques and modalities. 

That is why he became an Acupuncture Physician. But not just any 

Acupuncture practitioner, he wanted to explore the depth of human 

affliction and the effects that this Eastern discipline had on them. 

That is why he received a PhD in Acupuncture from the Anhui University 

of Chinese Medicine in Hefei, China, and a Clinical Doctorate 

D.A.O.M. in the US. 

Dr. Tony is one of the few people in his field with two Doctorate 

degrees. He is also one of the only Acupuncture doctors in the US 

who has completed a published Scientific Clinical Study with human 

participants on Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). 

Dr. James E. Galvin, Professor of Neurology at University of Miami 

(and The Comprehensive Center for Brain Health at Florida Atlantic 

University) was instrumental in making this study possible. 


Called “The Effects of Acupuncture on Mild Cognitive Impairment,” 

it evaluated the effects of acupuncture on cognition, mood, 

quality of life, and physical performance on people with MCI due to 

Alzheimer’s disease. 

The results were very promising showing improved cognition, 

mood, mindfulness, and physical performance on patients. 

For someone who has lived their life helping others it has huge 

consequences for the future. “I am always pushing the boundaries for 

acceptance of Acupuncture in Western Medicine. I’ve seen patients 

come for treatment for a wide range of conditions many times after 

they have been everywhere else. I have witnessed patients go from 

‘Stressed Out to Zoned Out’ in a matter of 40 minutes.” 

That is precisely the reason Newsmax listed Dr. Tony as one of 

their top 100 doctors practicing alternative and integrative medicine. 

His name was among the pantheon of the greats - Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. 

Deepak Chopra, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Andrew Weil. He was the 

only Acupuncture Doctor to make the list. 

That distinction is one reason he was chosen as the Official Acupuncturist 

of the Florida Panthers and the Sports Medicine Acupuncture 

Physician for a UFC Fight Team. 

There are other reasons to seek out Eastern healing modalities 

right now. 

“The bombardment of information given to us on a daily basis has 

reached an all-time high in the age of technology. Our ancestors did 

not struggle with this type of psychological stress. Add the impact of 

Covid-19, and you realize that stress is at an all-time high.” 

COPYRIGHTED

According to Dr. Tony, stress impacts the nervous system and 

psyche, this disharmony may be the root cause of many illnesses. 

And who among us is not feeling the daily stress of a floating invisible 

health crisis? 

There are many ways to cope with this added stress– ice cream, 

yoga, walking, meditation, and prescription medication. But if you 

have visited Acupuncture Zen you would know it is a world away 

from the ticking timebomb of reality. It is a nurturing place where 

healing and harmony is present in the air. 

“For 3,000 years the benefits of Acupuncture have been profound 

and diverse,” said Dr. Tony. 

Others agree. 

“Dr. Tony, Thank You for The Work and Energy!” said 

US Open Champion and PGA Tour Player, Gary Woodland. 

Buffalo Sabres Captain and All-Star Jack Eichel is also a fan. “Dr. 

Tony, I’m ready for the Acupuncture!” And so is Eric Coleman of the 

New York Jets, “Dr. Tony, Thanks for helping me reach my ZEN!” 

But it’s not just celebrities and sports figures who have witnessed 

the miracles at Acupuncture Zen. 

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr Tony. I had such bad 

plantar fasciitis that I could hardly walk from the pain. I’m a fit 

37-year-old woman and I was hobbling around like a 95-year-old 

for weeks. I tried braces, compression socks, ice, anything recommended 

for relief. Nothing worked. After one treatment, the pain 

was significantly improved. I could actually walk normally again. 

This man really knows what he’s doing, and the office and staff are 

absolutely lovely. It feels like going to a relaxing spa. I will continue 

to see Dr. Tony for any future ailments. I’m a total believer,” said 

Ashley of Delray Beach. 

Acupuncture Zen has seven treatment rooms that feel like a healing 

sanctuary. Dr. Tony has developed a technique for a patient experience 

that is unique and soothing no matter what ails you. 

“Acupuncture calls upon your nervous system to provide homeostasis 

(equilibrium) through the insertion of tiny, acupuncture 

needles,” he said. 

Even musicians are believers in the process, “Thanks for the Pins, 

Dr. Tony.” Says Jon Bon Jovi. 

It is no surprise that Dr. Tony is sought after for healing and harmony 

of mind, body and spirit. The reason is simply that he has imbibed 

the most advanced healing techniques from the greatest healers 

all over the world. 

Dr. Tony first discovered the magic and mystery of acupuncture 

while serving his country as an infantry soldier back in 1991. 

“From that moment on I knew this therapy was going to be on my 

path of learning. I have always been interested in finding natural, 

non-invasive ways to make the body function in harmony.” 

And after 16 years of clinical practice, he has created a safe space 

for healing through the use of Acupuncture. That is his mission – and 

that is his reason for continuing this path toward healing others. 

“Acupuncture has finally been given the healing space to which it 

deserves. Come and experience ZEN, Acupuncture Zen.”

BOB GARFIELD 

Realtor Who Cares 

BY diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

Bob Garfield has a vast amount 

of business experience – all 

involving professional sales 

and communication. 

Office location doesn’t get much better, 

a few BLOcks from beach on hISTOric aTLantic Ave. 

The Florida native, who has seen South Florida flourish, 

started out as a department store executive and worked as 

national sales manager for several large textile companies. 

After a successful career in retail and sales, Garfield turned his 

compass toward the real estate industry. He did so with an eye 

toward property valuation and a desire to help buyers and sellers 

meet (and exceed) their real estate expectations. 

“I absolutely love connecting people with their dream properties 

and assisting in the sale of their current property so they can move 

on to the next chapter in their lives,” said Garfield, who is also an 

accomplished musician. 

Real estate and music have an equitable momentum if you ask 

Garfield. He sees the ups and downs of performing onstage akin to 

the complexity of a real estate deal. “Things rarely go as planned 

on stage or in Real Estate sales. It has taught me to think and react 

clearly under pressure. Whether it’s a broken guitar string or a 


mistake in a sales contract; the same clear thinking under pressure 

is required.” 

While Garfield does a lot of sales analysis to bring you the highest 

selling price (if you’re selling your home) he also does a lot of listening. 

If you are looking for a home or condo he is equally as proactive. 

And, if anyone knows and understands the South Florida real 

estate market, it’s Garfield. He’s lived in the area all his life and 

has a feel for what property is worth and how to maximize its 

value to buyers. 

“I’m honored to be the real estate agent of choice for those who 

want to buy or sell a home. I take a ‘client-first’ approach, which 

means you’ll be working with a professional who listens to you, 

promotes your listing aggressively, and keeps working until your 

property is sold and closed. I know how to attract qualified buyers 

and how to get that SOLD sign on your front lawn, fast.” 

His clients agree. “Bob was incredibly helpful in my first home 

selection and ultimate purchase. He is knowledgeable of the area, 

selected homes to show me based on my criteria and was open to 

my suggestions. He went above and beyond and even had suggestions 

on cleaners, a handyman and a plumber. He is a fantastic realtor,” 

said Daniel. 

Part of Garfield’s expertise in selling your home is his marketing 

strategy. He advertises your property, markets it in different venues 

and takes out large monthly ads featuring your property. He also 

does monthly mailings and showcases your home expertly. 

With his corporate success as a marketing and sales wizard, Garfield 

understands clients’ needs (and wants) and has compassion 

COPYRIGHTED 

Two of Bob’s passions, playing music & the outdoors

Assisting another client with the sale of their property 

for buyers and sellers that goes beyond the closing table. “I’m 

available to my clients long after a sale is made to tidy up loose 

ends and answer questions. I go the extra mile for my clients 

such as arranging and waiting for handymen to ready a home 

for sale or waiting for furniture or appliance deliveries.” 

Garfield also does extensive research in your neighborhood 

to make sure the asking and selling prices are attractive to the 

right buyer or seller. Currently the South Florida real estate 

market is quite strong but there’s one bit of advice that Garfield 

has to offer. “It is imperative that you hire the right real 

estate agent, one that is the most qualified. Whether you are 

looking to sell your property or purchase a new home.” 

The Saffran’s found this to be true. “It was a pleasure working 

with Bob on both the sale of our home and the purchase 

of our new one. His knowledge of the real estate market 

was helpful in selling our home in just over one week. When 

searching for our new home Bob questioned our needs and 

criteria so he could find us properties that suited us. His professionalism, 

attention to detail and follow up made him great 

to work with.” 

Bob is also an accomplished musician who plays at private 

parties and music venues. He is a firm believer that outside 

interests make him an even better salesperson. “I can adjust to 

unexpected things and keep a cool head and calm demeanor. I 

am comfortable talking to people, listening to them and then 

making decisions based on the facts and the market.” 

Garfield’s territories are Broward and Palm Beach County. 

He also helps people find their dream home at all price points, 

whether a waterfront estate or a condo. 

If you want your home to sell quickly and get the highest 

price, call Bob Garfield. “I make the process of buying and selling 

real estate smooth and trouble-free. I’m also an expert at 

achieving the best outcome for my clients.”

Choose Your Nurse As Carefully 

As You Choose Your Doctor 

By Diane Feen 

In everyone’s life there are defining moments. 

For Amy Forstein, BSN, RN it was in the 

Emergency Room of a Colorado hospital. 

suffering a miscarriage in 2007, the compassion and 

empathy I received from the ER Nurse created a lasting 

“After 

impression. I was incredibly grateful for the care received; 

and after a long career as a Chiropractor, I decided to return 

to school to pursue a nursing degree so I could be the difference in 

the lives of others,” said Nurse Amy, now the mother of twins. 

And that is exactly what Nurse Amy accomplished graduating Cum 

Laude in 2010. Not only does she attend to her patients’ acute medical 

ailments, she also facilitates their best possible future outcomes. 

Just ask Howard Casper the 90-year-old snowbird from Gladwyne, 

PA. Howard calls Nurse Amy his “great love” and sings praise 

to her bedside manner and insight. “When I first met Amy, she paid 


attention to my posture, my diet and exercise. She managed my 

medication directly with my physician. She coordinated a physical 

therapist, who improved my walking and balance. She also changed 

other things with my medical care, and I feel so much better. Amy 

is everything you want your Doctor to be, she is a terrific Nurse!” 

Employing top notch healthcare professionals is something 

the agency Nurse Amy works for prides themselves on. Community 

Home Health Services (CHHS) a division of Medical Services of 

America, is a family owned company with over 45 years of healthcare 

industry experience. CHHS maintains the highest standards of care 

and employs only the highest grade of healthcare 

professionals. 

CHHS’s mission is to be a leader in the 

ever-evolving healthcare industry says 

Corporate Director Debbie Nunez BSN, 

RN. “We embrace change by confronting 

the future needs in healthcare, 

while maintaining the quality of care 

and professional support through all 

of our divisions’ resources.” 

CHHS has risen to the challenge 

during these unprecedented 

times in healthcare. We maintain 

increased astuteness in 

our patients care requirements, 

while maintaining the 

highest standard of care according 

to Nunez. 

“Our agency is led by caring 

nursing professionals and therapists, 

representing over 100 

years of practice, with outcomes 

for the greater good of our community 

needs,” Nunez added. 

Ask yourself, are you and your

opportunity to recover, heal or survive from an acute ailment or 

medical procedure? We spend a lot of time researching the perfect 

doctor/surgeon. We ask friends for referrals, we Google, this is our 

due diligence. But what Nurse Amy knows is that you should be as 

diligent about hiring the best Nurse as you are about hiring your 

doctor! “You only get one chance to heal properly and it’s good to 

know me ahead of time,” says highly acclaimed Nurse Amy. “Most 

people are unaware they have the legal right to choose the nurse 

that comes into their home.” 

Choosing the right nurse is as important as choosing your doctor. 

Susan Schaevitz chose Nurse Amy to care for her husband multiple 

times after surgery. “Amy is the most amazing nurse. She is compassionate, 

thoughtful, caring and follows up on everything. She is very 

special; people who are lucky enough to have her will agree.” 

Nurse Amy and CHHS go above and beyond when it comes to patients 

care. “I am available 24/7, by call or text. My patients find 

comfort knowing they can reach me any time of the day or night. 

Even after discharge, I keep in touch with all my patients and their 

families (some out of state).” 

What sets CHHS apart from the competition is their dedication to 

employing and retaining the most caring and professional staff. From 

their administration to their nurses and therapists, everyone embodies 

love and compassion for their patients. 

Nurse Amy and CHHS can help you and your loved ones 

achieve your most positive outcomes. They provide coordinated 

professional services for: pre-and post surgical care, wound care, 

IV therapy, medicine management, physical, occupational and 

speech therapy, home health aide and social work services. These

SoFlo Home Realty 

Opening Second Office in 

Downtown Delray Beach 

By nicol jenkins | Photo By melissa korman 

After a successful year in real estate, SoFlo 

Home Realty has expanded their business and 

is opening a second office in Delray Beach. 

Roberta Lucas of SoFlo Home Realty, who specializes in the 

South Florida real estate market, has also expanded to selling 

a new construction project called Delray Beach Luxury 

Homes, built by her business partner and husband George Lucas of 

Tropical Custom Builders. 

This luxurious development consists of 13 single family new construction 

homes conveniently located at 830 N Lake Avenue, Delray 

Beach, minutes from the beach and Atlantic Avenue. Transitional 

and contemporary models come with high-end finishes and appliances, 

4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 4,398 square feet of total area and 

3,123 square feet under air. Homes come with covered patio, PGT 

impact windows and doors, 2-car garage, infinity pool and private 

COPYRIGHTED 


manicured backyard. Offering the best in urban and coastal living 

and starting at $1,699,000. For more information, visit www.delrayluxuryhomes.net. 

“Our goal is to make all of our customers enjoy a commercial 

graded built home in one of the hottest spots on earth, Delray 

Beach,” said Roberta. 

The local Realtor focuses on helping clients find new homes 

throughout South Florida and Palm Beach County. Even during the 

pandemic, Roberta has put her clients first. 

“I feel very fortunate to be involved in an essential business during 

the most unprecedented times we will ever encounter. Showing 

homes during this past year was a challenge and still is. For many 

months the toughest part was coming home and having to wash 

everything I was wearing including my purse and shoes and then 

hope I wasn’t infected with the virus. Be that as it may, I still worked 

my hardest in 2020,” said Roberta. 

2020 was a very successful year for most of the active Real Estate 

agents in South Florida. 

“I, myself, sold over $10 million dollars in Real Estate in 2020. 

Nonetheless, this success can be traced to a recent large scale demographic 

shift in the United States, with record numbers of people 

moving down to Florida from several northern states. The large 

majority of these buyers are running away from crowded urban 

areas because of COVID or from dangerous environments. We’re 

also seeing a lot of locals taking advantage of the incomparably low 

interest rates to purchase homes. Since this is a seller’s market the 

prices of homes have increased and as a consequence, we don’t believe 

this will change anytime soon,” said Roberta. 

Palm Beach County, especially Delray Beach, has become the new 

home for many moving from New York, New Jersey, Chicago and 

other states. 

“I believe that Palm Beach County and Delray Beach has become 

home to a lot of people moving from up North because of its popularity. 

Delray Beach is very much alive with a bustling Atlantic Avenue, 

minutes to the beach, shops and restaurants,” added Roberta. 

Roberta continues to represent the sale of 13 new construction 

single family homes in Delray Beach called Delray Beach Luxury 

Homes. “The first phase of the project is almost sold out and we are 

very excited to move on to Phase II and watch the area change to a 

beautifully revitalized and secluded area. Florida Power and Light 

is also doing their part. They are working on hiding the exposed cables, 

transformers and the electric poles. The City of Delray Beach 

will be repaving the streets on South Lake Ave., North Lake Ave., 

and Lake Trail,” she said. 

These elegant new construction single family homes are ready 

for you to pick your own finishes. Four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, 

and no association fees. Best quality hurricane impact windows 

and doors. Viking or Wolf appliances, quartz kitchen countertops, 

custom kitchen cabinets. Rectified imported tile throughout. Covered 

patios, two laundry rooms, two car garage, metal/concrete 

tile roof, frameless shower doors, hook-up ready for generator and 

electric car. Homes have their own private manicured backyard, 

with views to your private oasis. Conveniently located just minutes 

away from the ocean and downtown Delray Beach. Offering one of 

the best urban and coastal living! 

“We had an amazing group of people helping us to build these 

homes,” said Roberta. 

“I am thrilled with the home I purchased from SoFlo Home Realty. 

I had been searching for a well-built home for 6 months. The 

builder showed me how he constructed my home and I was sold. 

After my purchase he has been excellent anytime I had questions 

or concerns! Highly recommend this builder if you are looking to 

purchase a home and want a pleasant experience before and after 

the sale,” said Connie, a satisfied client who purchased a new 

home from SoFlo Home Realty. 

Alongside their new construction developments, SoFlo Home 

Realty is also preparing for the Grand Opening of their second office 

in downtown Delray Beach. Located at 4 SE 6th Ave, just off 

the corner of Atlantic Avenue and N Federal, the beautiful new location 

will serve as the primary base of operations for their entire 

sales team. The aim with this addition, is to establish SoFlo Home 

Realty as a Premier Luxury Estate Brokerage in the South Florida 

region. If you are keen on being a part of our team in any capacity, 

they would encourage you to attend their office’s Grand Opening 

on January 22 at 6 pm. 

“We believe that this beautiful office space shared by a team of 

considerate and courteous agents and staff in conjunction with our 

beautiful new developments, is the first step towards realizing that 

vision,” said Roberta. 

“I like to treat all the agents that work with me as a family member. 

I include them in the growth of the business of SoFlo Home 

Realty. We are looking for agents to join the team,” she said.

DR. JOhn R. paSquaL 

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

In a changing world some things need to stay static. And that is a 

good thing. It is also a good thing that Dr. John Pasqual is calmly 

doing what he always does best - Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. 

The Board-Certified surgeon does everything from facial surgery 

to dental implants, extractions, and advanced facial reconstruction. 

His operating room has a 42-inch monitor that allows him to 

see a digital view of patients’ facial structure and teeth. “With 

technology so advanced today, dentistry has evolved immensely. 

We use a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool called an i-Cat Cone 

Beam Imaging machine. The i-Cat 3D Imaging machine is a great 

diagnostic tool for pathology, trauma, facial fractures, tumors and 

cysts. With the i-Cat, surgery is more accurate, and I am able to 

guide implant placement.” 

Dr. Pasqual does not have to tout his accomplishments, his resume 

speaks for him. He went to the University of Pittsburgh School 

of Dental Medicine, graduated President of his class, he completed 

a four-year surgery residency at Case Western Reserve University 

MetroHealth Medical Center, a level I trauma center, and spent 

two years there as an Anesthesia Fellow. He is a Diplomate of the 

American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Diplomate of the 

International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and Diplomate of 

the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology. He is a Fellow of the 

American Association as well as International Association of Oral 

and Maxillofacial Surgeons. 


Dr. Pasqual did externships in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at 

the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Montefiore University 

Hospital and at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in 

San Antonio. He recently became the President Elect for the Atlantic 

Coast District Dental Association and is past President of the 

South Palm Beach County Dental Association. 

Because of his expertise and experience Dr. Pasqual is a Clinical 

Associate Professor at University of Florida School of Dental Medicine 

and in the Department of Oral Implantology at Temple University. 

He also is a prior committee member for Dental Education and 

Licensing for the State of Florida. 

“We continue to grow exponentially every year and expand to 

serve everyone in Palm Beach County and beyond,” said Dr. Pasqual, 

whose staff is trained in intravenous sedation. They also have private 

rooms and a relaxing setting for patients. 

“Pasqual Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is different from many dental 

or medical clinics; we are a very patient-centric office. We focus 

on the patients’ physical as well as emotional wellbeing,” he added. 

Dr. Pasqual and his staff understand that surgery can be a very 

stressful time for patients. “Our goal is to meet with patients for a 

consultation, discuss their condition, explain their options and ultimately 

perform our very best for them.” 

At the Pasqual Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center the Operating 

Room rivals those in a hospital. On the wall of this pristine operating 

room is a 42-inch monitor that allows Dr. Pasqual a clear digital 

view of patients’ facial structure and teeth. “With technology so advanced 

today, dentistry has evolved immensely. 

There is one other thing to understand about Dr. Pasqual. “I am a 

surgeon. Not all doctors that perform surgery are surgeons. It’s important 

to look at a doctors’ credentials and board certifications.” 

We agree. 

The Pasqual Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center is one of the few 

centers that utilize such advanced technology to benefit patient 

care from Er: YAG and Nd: Lasers, to Radiolase radiofrequency scalpel 

to platelet rich fibrin (PRF) for wound healing. “I feel good if I 

can make a difference in someone’s life. When you know you have 

helped someone, and they are better when they leave your office - 

it’s a good thing.” 

COPYRIGHTED

His excellent care is no secret to those in the industry. Dr. Pasqual 

was inducted into the Pierre Fauchard Academy, an international 

honor society for excellence in the specialty of patient care. He is a 

past Delegate and current Board of Trustee to the FDA.. 

Though some like to think of Dr. Pasqual as a Delray treasure, 

others recognize his genius. Patients come from Boca Raton, Palm 

Beach, Jupiter, Miami and across the country. Dr. Pasqual has also 

treated celebrities, renowned musicians, champion MMA fighters 

and other high-profile patients. 

“I treat several patients that have celebrity-status. However, all my 

patients are super-stars to me. It is a true privilege to practice each 

and every day. I am humbled that patients that may obtain medical 

care anywhere in the world choose my office.” 

Patients testify to his dedication and expertise. “Dr. Pasqual’s 

technical skills are remarkable. His office and staff are second to 

none. But it is his gentle strength and ability to calm and care for 

the patient that is most appreciated. No question goes unanswered 

and no request seems unreasonable.” 

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

impeccable. He called to check on us at the end of the day to make 

sure everything was OK. I highly recommend him.” 

Nancy is also a fan. “My experience was excellent and my implant 

surgery went flawlessly. Dr. Pasqual gave me a reason to smile again!” 

Dr. Pasqual is also involved in charities and organizations that benefit 

those in need. He is Chairman of the Board of the Bethesda Hospital 

Foundation (for the second time) and volunteers at the Caridad 

Center. He and wife Nicole support the ASPCA, Boys and Girls Club, 

Make a Wish Foundation, and Delray Beach Public Library. 

There is one thing that is non-negotiable at Pasqual Oral & Maxillofacial 

Surgery Center – and that is respect for their patients. 

“When patients present to our office it is about being kind and 

compassionate. Patients say they are happy they came to me and 

recovery was easy. When I hear statements like this it is truly the 

greatest reward.”

DIRECT TOWING 

Towing 

Made Easy 

By diane Feen 

The car is one of the greatest 

inventions of modern society. 

We rely on them to take us 

anywhere and everywhere at 

all times of the day or night. 

Without a car, it’s like a bird without wings. We are landlocked. 

But when our cars break down it can make our lives 

stop at a moment’s notice. Sometimes it can endanger you 

and your loved ones. 

That is what happened to Regi. While he was with his two young 

DBO Atlantic Ave Dec20 HP Spread - PRESS.pdf 1 12/14/20 8:44 PM 

girls on vacation in Pennsylvania their car broke down. After calling 

tow truck companies, Regi had to walk to the nearest store to get internet 

access. It was cold and the girls were scared. 

That is when he realized that a new solution to this vexing problem 

was necessary. “I was on vacation with my girls and my car stopped 

working. There were no towing companies and it was cold and raining. 

It made me think about how many other people have had the 

same experience.” 

COPYRIGHTED 


That was a lightbulb moment for Regi. He decided that this dangerous 

task should be easy if done the right way. 

So that is exactly what he did. He created an app for Direct Towing 

that would put drivers in touch with the closest towing company or 

supplier of automobile parts and gasoline. The app works worldwide 

and can be accessed with the ease of your finger tip. 

There is no membership fee and the rates are affordable and competitive. 

You also get a quote right away with no surcharges or surprises. 

If you have run out of gas, or need new tires the app will send what 

you need to your location. The best part is that you do not have to be 

a member of a club to get the help you need. The towing company will 

know exactly where to pick you up from the app. 

Much like Uber, this service can be a light at the end of transportation 

existence. “My car broke down and I called my insurance-based 

towing company. I waited over 2 hours and they did not come so I used 

the Direct Towing App and they came right away. This is a service I 

needed so much and it worked perfectly,” said one customer. 

The Direct Towing software is easy to navigate and you can request 

local or long-distance towing from a towing company. The prices are 

lower than traditional towing companies and there are no hidden fees. 

If your tire has gone flat and you need a new tire help is on the way 

as quickly as possible. So is fuel delivery and towing your car to the 

destination of your choice. 

Auto and fuel suppliers are Direct Towing Ambassadors. If you are a tire 

dealer, tow truck company, fuel supplier or auto mechanic - Direct Towing 

is looking for you. Due to the demand for these services Direct Towing is 

in need of reliable honest auto related services for their customers. 

And with the looming health issues today, more people today are 

traveling by car as opposed to flying. Many drivers are experiencing 

uncharted territory and are driving at night to get to their destination. 

“I was staying in Palm Beach for a few months during the height of Covid 

and was afraid to return to New York City. After five months I rented a 

car and drove home straight for safety purposes. If I had known about Direct 

Towing it would have made me feel safer about traveling in cities unknown 

to me. I am so glad Regi created this amazing service,” said Amy. 

Towing Direct is also on the scene as quickly as possible when there 

is an accident that requires roadside assistance. “The world is going 

through a drastic change with Covid and people want to feel safe. With 

my new app we can take some of the fright out of the night. If you run 

out of gas and need fuel to get to your destination, we can help you 

immediately. If your tire goes flat and you need help in any city or 

country, we are there to assist you,” said Regi. 

The Direct Towing App is easy to download and after answering 

a few questions you will have a towing company in your pocket. You 

don’t have to worry about waiting a long time or wondering when 

someone will show up. The app goes directly to the right person to fix 

your car or tow it to your destination. 

There is a reason why so many people have turned to online resources 

to solve their everyday problems. Let Direct Towing be your 

life raft in the storm of everyday driving for you.

and experienced is what 

Jerilyn Walter is looking for 

when adding to her already 

successful roster of agents. 

only do they need to understand the business of real 

estate, they need to know the ins and outs of their community, 

area trends, and have a strong desire to create 

“Not 

and sustain a successful real estate practice,” says Jerilyn. 

Because of her careful selection process and her extensive knowledge 

of the real estate business, Jerilyn Walter, Broker/Owner of 

Posh Properties has seen tremendous growth with her real estate 

firm. “I started Posh Properties with $900.00 and a vision,” says 

Jerilyn, “We expect to reach over $135 million in sales for 2020. I 

couldn’t be more proud of my agents and their work ethic.” 

Posh Properties, with offices in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and 

Ocean Ridge, founded by Jerilyn Walter, is a successful boutique 

Real Estate firm with the top expert area agents in the field that 

maintains a personal experience for each client while professionally 

handling the business of real estate. With over 52 Realtors, Posh 

Properties continues to grow while focusing on their customer’s 

needs, which Jerilyn believes is the core of their success. 

Unlike the larger corporate real estate firms, Posh Properties is 

able to offer a local based boutique experience for their customers 

that include a local’s understanding of what the communities, 

properties and areas offer, and the expected growth and changes 

for the future. 

Also, unlike other corporate real estate firms, with an average of 

only 20% top producers, 40% of Posh Properties’ agents are recognized 

as top producers. This success has caught the attention of 

other national brands and companies. “It has been a slow but progressive 

process and now Posh Properties dominates many of the 

area’s neighborhoods. I have been approached by numerous national 

companies to merge and manage some of their offices. For now, I love 

what I do, and I am there for my agents and am continually focusing 

on how to help them best represent their customers, which leads to 

growing their business. We are part of the fabric of the community 

and it helps make us outstanding agents,” said Jerilyn.

of Commerce, Bound for College, and much more. Jerilyn Walter is 

also a member of the Global Alliance, Palm Beach Board of Realtors 

and the Miami Board of Realtors. 

“The Real Estate industry is constantly changing, and our weekly 

training classes and monthly digital marketing classes help my 

agents keep up to date on how to best represent their current 

seller’s homes and easily assist customers who are out of state to 

relocate to South Florida. We are not just bringing buyers out looking 

at houses. We provide them tours of the areas to help them understand 

the lifestyle, and find an area that suits their needs,” said 

Jerilyn. “Our office has agents who have lived in New York, California, 

Massachusetts, New Jersey, and all over the country, that can 

easily communicate with customers to help them find their new 

home. We are not agents who steer people to a property, because 

of a sale, we help them find the neighborhood and home that fits 

their lifestyle.” 

Even during the beginning of the pandemic, Posh Properties had 

their doors open for their customers. Owner Jerilyn Walter felt it 

was important to be at the office every day to answer any questions 

for her customers and her agents. “I wanted to let them know Posh 

Properties was here, and they could count on us.” She even personally 

delivered food to all her agents and their families, and provided 

customers swag bags with toilet paper, masks and hand sanitizers. 

“I wanted to make sure our customers did not feel left alone, and to 

know our agents are here for them.” 

“Delray Beach is on the center of the map right now. Property 

values have and are continuing to increase and now is a good time 

to buy. Inventory is diminishing quickly, and the values are going 

up. If you are looking to downsize and stay in the area, now is the 

time to do it,” said Jerilyn. 

Posh Properties has also expanded their business, with an inhouse 

title company, Big Wave Title and Escrow, helping sellers and 

buyers understand their costs and keep a good eye on the progression

area’s communities.

STITCHES BY THE SEA 

Needlepoint To The Rescue 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

If you ask Karen Helfman from 

Stitches by the Sea, she will tell 

you that needlepoint is a life saver. 

Since when did a hand painted canvas with vibrant colorful 

threads save people from dire circumstances? 

The answer is – NOW. 

With Covid hanging over our heads like a jail sentence, people 

are turning to activities that take their minds off the current health 

crisis. Some people are cooking a lot, others are reading books and 

some are finding the art and craft of needlepoint to be the perfect 

solution to the slower pace of life. 

If you ask Helfman, she’ll tell you needlepoint is “Yoga for the Mind.” 

And what better time to have yoga for the mind? “We are putting 

our products into the hands of people all over the country that are 

craving something to do while staying at home. 

Stitches by the Sea was closed to the public after the initial Covid 

scare, but Karen and Judi took orders behind the scenes. People 

found the perfect items from Instagram, Facebook, and their online 

store. Eventually customers came curbside to pick up beautiful canvases 

destined to be handbags, pillows, artwork and totes. 

The good news is that more people than ever are turning to 

needlepoint to satisfy the human need to socialize and create 

meaning in their lives. 


“Needlepoint has saved people from going crazy during Covid,” 

said Karen. “Needlepoint is Yoga for the Mind. We are getting so 

many new customers because people are stranded at home looking 

for something to do. This gives them something constructive and 

creative without going insane.” 

She’s right. If you talk to stitches by the Sea customers they will 

tell you needlepoint – and Judi and Karen – have been the safest 

port in the new Covid reality storm. “I had not picked up a needlepoint 

project in 26 years until Covid hit. Needlepoint is so soothing, 

it’s therapy without pain,” said Faith Diamond. The real estate developer 

picked out canvases online when Covid started, and picked 

them up curbside. 

Things have changed a bit – you have to make an appointment to 

come inside. “You’ll be asked to wear a mask and you will be greeted 

by me or one of our talented staff. You can also drop off a project 

that needs finishing,” said Karen. 

Some things never change – especially their excellent customer 

service and passion for the art of needlepoint. “Judi and Karen get 

so excited when you finish a project. They are passionate about 

needlepoint and it’s contagious. They want you to enjoy the peacefulness 

and joy of needlepoint,” adds Diamond. 

For Karen and her mother (Judi Alweil) needlepoint is a family 

affair. Judi owned a needlepoint and yarn shop in Long Island for 

over 40 years before moving to Delray. Judi’s needlepoint business 

started in her mother in law’s house in Hewlett, New York years ago. 

They design original custom canvases and also sell trendy and 

sophisticated needlepoint designs from artist all over the country. 

Collectively, the choice of canvases is the talk of the town. “People 

are talking about our canvases all over the country. At a Virginia re- 

COPYRIGHTED

treat everyone was talking about Stitches by the Sea. We have 

great canvases in modern, contemporary, colorful and whimsical 

designs that make people happy,” adds Karen. 

It’s true, their canvases cut through generations and highlight 

the lighter side of life. Some have sayings like, “Love you 

to the Moon and Back,” others have famous singers illustrated 

and still others are scenic views of locales far and wide. 

Lindsay Perelman, a needlepoint newbie, relishes the diversity 

of their canvases. “Stitches by the Sea helps me with 

my stitches and has a great variety of canvases for younger 

people. I am soaking up the art of needlepoint because I am 

stuck in the house and I needed things to keep me busy.” 

Their diversity of products is a thrill to the creative mind. 

Their vast selection of Metallics, Cotton, Silks and various 

blends personalizes each piece. Canvases are created by designers 

such as Kimberly Ann Needlepoint, Jean Smith, Colors 

of Praise, Anne Fisher, Kate Dickerson and others. 

Their selection is endless and so is their desire to help everyone 

relish this creative colorful pastime - needlepoint. 

You can feel the thrill of it all when talking to Nicole Gottlieb. 

“I just love Stitches by the Sea. They are wonderful women 

and the canvases are beautiful and the sayings terrific. I was 

stuck in Colorado when Covid hit and needlepoint was the 

perfect thing to do. It really is yoga for the mind, it’s beyond 

soothing.”

Telling Our Story Like Never Before: 

One Delray Chamber Nonprofit at a Time 

“Achievement Center for Children & Families Keeps Meeting Local Needs -- No Matter What!” 

“In early 2020, as the COVID-19 crisis continued, the demand for our services has been more 

significant than ever and has prompted us to launch new initiatives to keep up with these 

needs. The crisis led to unprecedented unemployment, and many of the already vulnerable 

families served by ACCF in Delray Beach have critical needs. These families have been facing 

the unknown of how to sustain their basic needs and manage employment loss.” 

– Jessica Hall, Director of Events & Communication 

Founded in 1969 as the Community Child Care Center of Delray Beach, 

the Achievement Centers for Children & Families (ACCF) began as a 

pilot program in response to the overwhelming need for affordable, 

quality childcare available to working mothers. As the community needs became 

increasingly evident, the program quickly grew to support these families 

and help prepare their children for success in the public school system. 

ACCF programs offer children and families resources to overcome 

barriers to social, academic, and cultural success. Programs include 

early learning for children 1 years of age – 5 years of age, three after 

school programs, a pre-teen and teen program and summer camp, all in 

an environment in which children can enjoy a wide variety of activities 

with access to nutritious snacks and meals. ACCF also has onsite family 

strengthening programs that offer parents and guardians the resources 

they need to support their child’s success. 

ACCF pivoted during this COVID crisis to provide aid, including 

emergency funding for basic needs, meals through ACCF’s food 

distribution program, managing schoolwork, and assisting families in 


navigating unemployment claims and securing food stamps. During this 

process, the Family Strengthening team discovered that three of their 

member families were close to being homeless. 

ACCF utilized community resources, and the program’s Achievement 

and Financial Navigators were able to help secure and fund a deposit 

for affordable housing for two of the families. The funding was available 

through private donations raised through ACCF’s COVID-19 Emergency 

Relief Funds. The third family has received temporary shelter while the 

ACCF team members work with partners in the community to secure 

affordable housing. 

Due to the current crisis, a Delray Beach mother with young children, 

including an infant and two toddlers, lived “place to place” without a 

stable home for her family. She contacted one of our ACCF Achievement 

Navigators to ask for assistance. They found and secured an affordable 

rental home for her family and provided her with diapers and food each 

Friday as part of the organization’s weekly food distribution. 

The COVID pandemic has created new needs on the part of the people 

we serve -- but our existing program and services also continue. We 

sincerely thank the community for helping us meet the challenges of 

this moment to continue to provide the highest quality child care and 

programming with the integrity, compassion, and excellence that our 

children, families, and community have come to rely on.

After my 

first day as 

a volunteer 

firefighter 

putting out 

a fire I was 

hooked. 


egulars | city people

Fire Chief Of Delray Beach Fire Rescue 

Fire Chief Keith Tomey adapts 

to change rather quickly. 

He was hired by Delray Beach Fire Rescue to be the Assistant 

Fire Chief in December 2016. Within weeks he became 

the Acting Fire Chief when Chief Neal DeJesus was 

called to be the interim city manager. 

In 2018 Chief Tomey was back as the Assistant Fire Chief and 

in 2019 he was once again acting Fire Chief. All that is behind 

him now as Chief Tomey is firmly and finally ensconced as the 

Fire Chief of Delray Beach. 

But all that shape shifting doesn’t bother him. 

“My father was a Fire Chief and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. 

After my first day as a volunteer firefighter (at the age of 

18) putting out a fire I was hooked. It’s a very demanding job, but 

I can’t imagine doing anything else.” 

And he hasn’t. 

Chief Tomey’s bio expands to include almost every rank possible 

in fire rescue hierarchy. He started 33 years ago at Miramar 

Fire Rescue and eventually served as Fire Chief from 2014 to December 

2016. His history is all encompassing and includes: Fire 

Fighter-Paramedic, Driver Engineer, Lieutenant, Captain, Battalion 

Chief, Division Chief, Deputy Chief and Fire Chief. 

It’s one thing to rise through the ranks, but another to become 

a legend that others admire. “Chief Tomey is a great guy to work 

with. He was a good role model and let us grow in our careers. He 

contributed a lot to the fire department and kept us motivated 

and proud of our departments. He encouraged new ideas and 

raised the level of service to the community,” said Scott Rector, 

retired Miramar Fire Rescue Division Chief. 

In Miramar Tomey raised the ISO levels, created new divisions 

(and programs) and inspired rapid growth of the department. 

They were leaders of EMS in their region, and improved departments 

from inventory to medical supplies and training. 

That drive for excellence has made Chief Tomey a great leader 

and a role model for others. You could say he was born with a 

rescue mission. His father was a lieutenant in the fire department 

in Sunrise, and spent 25 years in the Okeechobee Fire Department 

becoming their fire Chief. 

Currently there are 220 employees in the Delray Beach Fire 

Department, which includes 167 firefighters. This responsibility 

is far reaching and according to Chief Tomey, Delray has a lot of 

moving parts. 

“This is a very rewarding job, but it’s not easy. Being Fire Chief 

is the hardest job I have ever done. You have to hire and fire people 

and it’s 24/7. You’re always answering calls from someone, 

whether the City Manager or the Mayor. It’s a passion, but it’s not 

for everyone,” said the avid fisherman. 

The Chief speaks about his desire to help people and the courage 

to risk your life for someone you don’t know. But recently he 

found out that this creed would extend into other communities 

and save his life. 

Chief Tomey felt pressure in his chest a few times in the past 

few months, but ignored it. He was busy and figured it was nothing 

to worry about. 

But he was wrong. 

The morning after moving into his new home in Coral Springs 

he couldn’t ignore the intense pressure in his chest. The Chief 

became sweaty and short of breath and his wife Nancy (a former 

cardiac nurse) called 911. 

It turned out that the Chief was having a massive myocardial 

infarction. The Coral Springs Firefighter-Paramedics administered 

oxygen, pain medication and baby aspirin. He was taken 

to Northwest Medical Center, where coincidentally the Delray 

Beach Fire Rescue medical director (Dr. Craig Kushnir) just happened 

to be on duty. 

Chief Tomey arrived in the emergency room to see paramedics, 

nurses and doctors racing against a cardiac clock to prepare 

him to have a stent put in his heart. The actions were swift and 

precise enough to save the Chief (his coronary artery was 100 

percent blocked). 

“All the time I’m thinking I may not make it. I may not pull out 

of this,” Chief Tomey said. “I remember I didn’t want to go to the 

cath lab until I saw my wife. I didn’t know if it would be the last 

time I’d see her.” 

Luckily the Chief went home after a few days and lived to tell 

the story. But not without some lessons learned. “I don’t let little 

things bother me anymore, and no one should ignore the symptoms 

of a heart attack. I truly believe God had a hand in this for 

everything to go so perfectly.” 

This perfection allowed Chief Tomey to return to his job and 

be a guiding force for Delray Beach Fire Rescue. “Chief Tomey 

genuinely cares about the fire department and the people who 

work there. He always looks to improve what we’re doing and 

encourages us to grow personally and professionally. He is a 

good leader, is collaborative and understands all facets of the department,” 

said Kevin Green, Assistant Fire Chief of DBFR. 

All work and no play makes an unfulfilled life. Chief Tomey 

knows this all too well. That’s why he is an exemplary father to 

Austin, Allison and Kelsey. He also spends time with other families 

in the neighborhood enjoying his passion – fishing, scuba 

diving, boating and creating Halloween magic. 

“Chief Tomey is a great father - he’s easy going, reliable and trustworthy. 

Our kids grew up together and we go to the Bahamas every 

year to fish,” said friend and retired Police Officer Jerry Balester. 

He’s been married to Nancy for 28 years and has caught a 

100-pound swordfish twice. 

Chief Tomey is also grateful to the Coral Springs Fire Rescue 

and Fire Department for saving his life. 

And so is everyone else. “You can always count on him when 

you need help. Chief Tomey is a great guy and a great father,” 

adds Balester.

Ingredients 

1 1/2 pounds baby spinach leaves 

2 tablespoons good olive oil 

2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves) 

2 teaspoons kosher salt 

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water 

clinging to the leaves. 

2. In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and sauté 

the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until

2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the 

spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until 

all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach 

to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, 

and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

Home Prepared Foods (Part 2) 

Happy New Year! As a follow up on last month’s article, 

“Is It OK to Feed My Pets Home Prepared Food, we are 

going to expand on what you can feed your pets. As we 

discussed, dogs and cats being carnivores, the bulk of their diet 

must come from animal-based foods. While we advocate raw diets, 

we also demonstrated that cooked foods are also beneficial, 

especially when compared to ultra-processed commercial and 

veterinary diets. 

A major factor in the invention of dry kibble was the convenience 

of feeding. In the beginning, dry kibble was not a suitable 

food for several reasons. First, the palatability was very low, 

and they required mixing with canned or fresh meat products in 

order to get pets to eat it. When artificial flavors became introduced 

to the kibble, we were sold on the idea of “no more mixing.” 

The pet food companies then sought out palatants (synthetic 

flavors) that our pets would accept without reflecting on the 

possible health issues that would develop in the future, such as 

most dental issues, to name one. They also learned that canines, 

being opportunistic carnivores (scavengers) would accept low 

quality food items with the right flavors. 

For me, as a child and even as an adult, our pets always ate 

what we did. Our pets used to “lick our plates clean” prior to us 

washing our dishes. It was the pet food companies that told us 

that our real foods were potentially harmful to our pets as their 

manufacturers started to market the so-called “veterinary” diets 

for veterinarians to sell. If you check the ingredient label of those 

foods, many contain the same poor quality ingredients as the 

lower priced commercial foods. 

We were encouraged to discontinue feeding our foods by hearing 

that the seasoning in human foods could cause problems. So technically, 

they were saying that the natural herbs we may use could 

be problematic, but it is ok for commercial pet foods to contain 

hundreds of chemicals that are never disclosed on the label. Recent 

studies at Cornell University show that issues with gastrointestinal 

distress are caused by conditions such as IBD, leaky gut and colitis 

which have their roots in toxic chemicals within the pet. Everything 

from vaccines, antibiotics, flavor enhancers, food colors and additives 

are part of the challenge. In many cases, natural herbs are generally 

a benefit and not a health issue. 

Our pets, specifically our canine companions, have demonstrated 

their innate ability to adapt and survive. Let’s not assume 

that because they have adapted to eating everything from garbage 

to commercial foods that they are living optimally healthy 

lives. Just like us, anybody can live on fast junk foods, but without 

chemical intervention of drugs and synthetic supplements, your 

quality of a healthy life is at great risk. 

Our conclusion, based on the long history of our pets being a 

part of our life, is that feeding clean real foods based on a species 

appropriate fresh food model is the optimal path to take. Sharing 

our foods in the form of our leftovers is a close step to ideal. 

When you consider that commercial foods are utilizing compromised 

food that is lower in quality and highly processed, just 

those factors alone are far removed from being optimal. 

Simple, I suggest that you feed your pets what is good enough 

for you to maintain your own natural health.
