It’s the Most Wonderful 

Time of the Year!!! 

No, the heat hasn’t made me delirious…but if you have school 

aged kids at home, you know what I mean. August is Back-to- 

School!!! Inside this issue you will find updated lunch ideas, 

some tips on shopping for supplies, and even the Palm Beach 

County School District new protocols to keep everyone safe and healthy. 

Where are my foodies??? Have there been a few restaurants you’ve been 

meaning to try? Well, you’re in luck! August is Restaurant Month in Delray, 

and this is the perfect time to try new cuisine, and maybe discover a hidden 

gem in our All American City. With almost 30 participating restaurants 

offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner prix-fixe menus (some even include a 

cocktail!), you can easily have a meal everyday in a different place – YUM! 

For more information, check out our regular feature Delray Under $50. 

All it takes is one song to bring back 1,000 memories. Thank goodness 

for the Arts Garage – the music is back!!! Flip on over to Gotta Hear and see 

what incredible acts will be performing. There is something for everyone 

– classical, country, even comedy and poetry. And for those of you with hidden 

talents ready to shine in the limelight there’s Open Mic Night, but best 

of all…many of these performances are FREE! 

Have you met Shaun Hall? I’m sure many of you have participated in his 

charity events. He chaired the Relay for Life, Co-Funded the Florida Covid 

Relief Fund, Co-Created the Support Delray Initiative, 

and my personal favorite, he created the Slacker 

by the Sea .5K that supports the HOW (Help Our 

Wounded) Foundation. This is the perfect “run” 

for non-runners like me. Halfway through the 

run there is beer and donuts, and they offer 

a VIP option called the Ultimate Slack, that 

doesn’t require any running whatsoever. 

This is the short list of Shaun’s philanthropy; 

we are lucky to have this Do- 

Gooder in our city. 

Stay cool during these 

Dog Days of Summer! 

Let’s get 

loose with 

compassion. 

Let’s drown 

in the 

delicious 

ambiance 

of Love.

Stairwell Visuals 

3 at Delray Beach 

Market 

Stairwell Visuals 3 hosted a free-to-thepublic 

pop-up art exhibition July 9 - 

Sunday, July 11 at the Delray Beach Marketplace. 

It was the first exhibit for the Menin 

Development, Inc. property since it opened 

in April. 

Stairwell Visuals founders, Glayson Le- 

Roy of famed Galera Collective and Wynwood 

Mural Fest has curated some of the 

most prolific graffiti and street art artists 

known for their murals throughout South 

Florida and globally to showcase their artworks

The 33 artists showcased were from diverse 

backgrounds, cultures and genders. 

Their work is often spotlighted during 

Art Basel, Miami Art Week and Wynwood 

Mural Fest as well as seen on public and 

private walls locally, nationally and internationally. 

The pop up event began with a live art 

paint session by Marlon Pruz. Attendees 

watched him create an explosion of detail, 

line, and depth that grabs the viewer 

and sucks them into the artwork.Atomik, 

famous for his well recognized Orange 

character, taught kids to draw his signature 

Orange character to take home with them. 

The event drew in more than a thousand 

people to the Delray Beach Marketplace 

to see the exhibit and for an “Eat • Drink • 

Beach • Repeat.” experience. 

Shakespeare 

Troupe of South 

Florida to present 

Twelfth Night 

August 14th & 15th 

“Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.” - 

William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night 

Peter Galman 

Sara Elizabeth Grant 

Seth Trucks 

The Shakespeare Troupe of South Florida 

will present their production of Twelfth 

Night for two performances only – at the 

Mizner Park Cultural Center in Boca Raton 

on August 14th, and at the Delray Beach 

Playhouse on August 15th. 

One of William Shakespeare’s most 

popular plays, Twelfth Night is a romantic 

comedy of love and ambition, and centers 

on twins Viola and Sebastian. Separated in 

a shipwreck, each believes the other has 

been lost. Viola disguises herself as a young 

man named Cesario, and the now identical 

sister and brother separately seek their 

fortunes in the sea-coast country of Illyria. 

Viola/Cesario unwittingly captures the 

heart of the wealthy countess Olivia and romantic 

and comedic complications ensue. 

The play is believed to have been written 

between 1601 and 1602 as a Twelfth Night 

entertainment for the close of the Christmas 

season, and features several of Shakespeare’s 

most iconic characters, including 

Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, the 

fool Feste, and Malvolio the pompous steward 

of Countess Olivia’s household. 

General Admission tickets for Twelfth 

Night are available online and are Free. 

There are also VIP tickets available for each 

performance.

Music at St. Paul’s Series 

Returns! 

On Sunday, July 11, Music at St. Paul’s began its 33rd season 

with a free concert by the Delray String Quartet. Titled 

“From Darkness to Light” the program celebrates the return of 

live performances after a 15-month shutdown brought on by the 

pandemic. The first concert to be cancelled in 2020 was a performance 

by the Delray String Quartet, so it was only fitting that they 

reopened the series with this program. It included an arrangement 

for string quartet of Gustav Mahler’s celebrated “Adagietto” 

from Symphony No. 5 ; Johannes Brahms’ String Quartet in C Minor, 

Op. 51, No. 1 ; and Astor Piazzolla’s delightful suite Tango Ballet. 





The concert began at 3 pm and was sold 

out. This free concert was underwritten 

by a generous benefactor. For more information 

on Music at St. Paul’s 33nd Season, 

visit http://musicstpauls.org or call 561-

held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 188 S. 

Swinton Ave. in Delray Beach. St. Paul’s is 

handicapped accessible. 

Golf Tournament 

Raises $5,000 

for Alzheimer’s 

Research and 

Support 

Recently, local golf enthusiasts gathered 

at Madison Green Country Club to tee 

off for a worthy cause: fighting Alzheimer’s 

disease. Hosted by Golf Fore A Cure, the 

charity golf outing raised $5,000 in support 

of the care, support and research programs 

of the Alzheimer’s Association. 

“Golf Fore A Cure is a nonprofit organization 

dedicated to raising funds for 

Alzheimer’s research,” said David Schue, 

event organizer and founder of Golf Fore a 

Cure. “We plan golf outings as a context for 

having fun and also to raise money for this 

worthy cause.” 

Funds raised through the June 20 event – 

which coincided with the longest day of the 

year, the summer solstice – benefited The 

Longest Day, an annual Alzheimer’s Association 

fundraising initiative that encourages 

participants to combat the darkness 

of Alzheimer’s disease through the activity 

of their choice. 

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 

more than 6 million Americans are living 

with Alzheimer’s, including 580,000 Floridians. 

Florida is also home to more than 

527,000 family caregivers who provide daily 

care to loved ones with dementia. 

“In Palm Beach County alone, there are 

estimated to be more than 51,000 individuals 

with Alzheimer’s disease,” noted Haley 

Register, The Longest Day manager for the 

Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida 

Chapter.

Day, visit www.alz.org/thelongestday.

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 August for $50 or less. 

Sure, we’ve all become at-home chefs by now (thanks, COV- 

ID), but doesn’t food just taste a little better when you don’t 

have to make it yourself? Especially because eating out gives 

you the opportunity to enjoy cuisine that you might not otherwise 

cook for yourself and explore food from different parts of 

the world. August is American Adventures Month and is a perfect 

time to revisit dining out and going on a culinary adventure 

in your own back yard by taking advantage of Downtown Delray 

Beach Restaurant Month! Restaurant Month is a month full of 

prix-fixe breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus highlighting the best 

of our downtown restaurants, dine-out deals for quick pick-up 

meals from some of our smaller dining options, culinary events 

for those who want a more in-depth look at how our restaurants 

cook up their delicious cuisines, and more. You can expect to enjoy 

a three-course $40 dinner at Dada; a $25 special rum flight, 

chickpeas and a daiquiri at Death or Glory; or a $39 pairing menu 

with a cocktail and an entree. There are almost 30 restaurants 

participating in the month-long event, so what are you waiting 

for? Get out there and have an adventurous eating experience all 

month long! Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 

243-1077 for more information and restaurant details. 

What makes you happy? Hopefully, something that you do 

all the time, that’s for sure! For artists, happiness could include 

sharing their art with others and seeing the joy that 

someone gets from looking at and experiencing the art they created 

with their mind and their hands. Especially for those of us who aren’t 

artistic, it’s a great way to bring happiness into a space when indoor 

plants just aren’t cutting it. August is Happiness Happens Month and 

you’re invited to the Cornell Art Museum for their Eighth Annual 

Fundraiser, SQUARES ON THE SQUARE! All artists, aspiring, professional 

and hobbyists, were invited to donate original artworks - any 

medium - within the size requirements of 6”x6,” 8”x8,” 10”x10,” and 

12”x12.” The artworks will be featured in an exhibition at the Cornell 

Art Museum opening during the Delray Beach First Friday Art Walk 

on Friday, August 6. These pieces will be sold at the SQUARES ON 

THE SQUARE cocktail reception ($5 entry fee) on Wednesday, August 

25 from 6 to 9pm for $35 each. So, you have a couple of weeks to 

check out the pieces, decide which one(s) bring you the most amount 

of happiness, and then purchase! Not only will you hopefully get the 

square you like, but you’re also giving our local artists the opportunity 

to continue their craft by supporting them, which is something 

that brings us all happiness. The Cornell Art Museum is located at 51 

N. Swinton Ave. Visit www.cornellartmuseum.org or call (561) 243- 

7922 for more information. 

Did you know that Delray Beach’s history is rooted in a strong 

black community that has helped build and shape our village 

to be what it is today? Our community has grown into a 

bustling Most Fun Small Town because of all the hard work, dedication, 

and community spirit of that inhabitants over the past numerous 

decades. So why not shine a light on some of the black-owned 

businesses that are so important to the City, especially during Black 

Business Month in August! If you haven’t yet indulged in Ceasar’s 

Famous Ribs, Bamboo Fire Café or The New Vegan, you seriously 

don’t know what soul food your soul is losing out on. Or check out 

the Spady Museum, EJS Project (a youth mentorship program) or 

Drummond Fine Art at the Arts Warehouse to experience an impor- 


tant part of the fabric of Delray’s past, present and future. Or 

head into Cici’s Unisex Barber Shop for a cut, Postal Services 

Pack & Ship for shipping, Deniz Grocery for some goods, or 

The Art of Chabriss for some pampering. There are so many 

black-owned businesses in our community - and more opening! 

- that benefit not only the landscape of our downtown

While life is grand, it is almost always too short. It’s important 

to think about what you want to do with it 

and what you want to leave behind for future generations. 

(Hopefully a healthy planet!) August is What Will Be Your 

Legacy Month and you’re invited to the Morikami Museum and 

Japanese Gardens to participate in their Obon Weekend. Obon 

is a Japanese Buddhist holiday that honors the spirits of the ancestors. 

Obon is a time to return home, visit family gravesites, 

enjoy dances, tell stories, and decorate family altars. Many communities 

will host local festivals filled with people wearing yukata, 

playing games, eating food, and enjoying performances. 

The tributes held at Obon have two significances. One is to 

honor the Buddha and show respect for one’s ancestors and 

others who have passed on. The other is to express gratitude 

to all people to whom we are indebted, including people who 

are alive such as our parents, relatives, and friends. Held Saturday, 

August 14 and Sunday, August 15, guests are invited to 

take a contemplative stroll through the gardens, fill out tanzaku 

slips in memory of lost loved ones, enjoy live taiko drumming 

performances in the spirit of Obon, and pay their respects to 

George Morikami at the Bon altar. Members are free, adults are 

$15, and children are $9, and there’s an additional $7 fee (for 

non-members) for the Saturday Taiko Drumming Performances. 

Visit www.morikami.org or call (561) 495-0233 for more 

information and to purchase tickets. 

Beer me! Beach, park, Sunday Funday, or BBQ dinner, 

beer is always a go-to drink of choice. With all the microbrews 

locally and nationally, there is literally no 

shortage of different styles and flavors. But Thursday, August 

5 is all about the IPAs. So, plan to leave work a little early on 

India Pale Ale Beer Day, roll up your sleeves and get to tappin’ 

because there’s a lot of IPA to go around. If you want a 

one-stop-shop, head on over to Hopportunities where there’s 

more than 40 beers on tap at this self-service beer hall. Kick 

back a few before walking over to Delray Craft in the Delray 

Beach Market. Not only do they have more than 30 beers on 

draft, they’ve also got a pretty sweet bar snacks food menu so 

you can fuel to win. While you’re there, check out the rest of 

the Market and grab yourself a comfy seat for people watching 

(and possibly a nap at this point). Or, if you’re looking for a 

front-row seat at a local brewery, look no further than SaltWater 

Brewery and enjoy all that their Tasting Room has to offer. 

Not only can you enjoy a pint or two of their ever popular 

Screamin’ Reels IPA or their Hazy Shark, but you can also get 

a growler, crowler, or six-pack to go. Who knew that celebrating 

beer could be so fun? Wait, nevermind. We all do! Visit 

www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077 for 

restaurant information.

► The Suicide Squad (Theaters) Super- 

Villains Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, 

and a collection of cons at Belle Reve prison, 

join the super-secret, super-shady “Task Force 

X,” where they are heavily armed and dropped 

off at the remote, enemy-infused island of 

Corto, Maltese. A standalone follow-up to 

first Suicide Squad (2017). This ensemble 

anti-hero DC action comedy boasts one

Cena, Jai Courtney, Michael Rooker, 

Flula Borg, Daniela Melchior, Steve

King Shark. 

get a residence permit, he starts working. The wellto-do 

residents in their cookie-cutter homes seemingly 

have it all, but they all suffer from an inner 

sadness, some unexplained longing. The attractive 

and mysterious newcomer’s hands heal, 

and Zhenia’s eyes seem to penetrate 

their souls. To them, his Russian 

accent sounds like 

a song from the past, 

a memory of their 

seemingly safer 

childhoods. The latest 

from writer/director 

Malgorzata Szumowska 

and her longtime 

collaborator Michal Englert 

is an unclassifiable meditation 

on class, immigration, and 

global warming with touches of 

magical realism and moments of 

sober beauty and subtle humor. 

► Never Gonna Snow Again

► Val (Amazon) For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of 

Hollywood’s most mercurial and/or misunderstood actors 

has been documenting his own life and craft through 

film and video. He has amassed thousands of hours 

of footage, from 16mm home movies made with his 

brothers, to time spent in iconic roles for blockbuster 

movies like Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and 

Batman. This raw, wildly original and unflinching 

documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a 


heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means 

to be an artist and a complex man. Val is co-directed 

by editors/filmmakers Ting Poo and Leo Scott, both 

experienced film editors previously now making their 

feature directorial debut with this documentary. It’s also 

produced by Val Kilmer. 


► Don’t Breathe 2 (Theaters) following up the surprise hit

► CODA (Theaters + Apple TV+) Gifted with a voice that her

the sole hearing member of a deaf family—a CODA, Child of Deaf 

Adults. Her life revolves around acting as interpreter for her 

parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family’s 

struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father 

and older brother (Daniel Durant). But when Ruby joins her high 

school’s choir club, she discovers a gift for singing and finds herself 

drawn to her duet partner Miles (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). Encouraged 

by her enthusiastic, tough-love choirmaster (Eugenio Derbez) 

to apply to a prestigious music school, Ruby finds herself torn 

between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of 

her own dreams. 

► Free Guy (Theaters) In this movie a bank teller called Guy 

(Ryan Reynolds) discovers he is actually a background player in an

limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way... 

before it is too late. Also starring Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Lil Rel 

Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Taika Waititi. 

► Respect (Theaters) The film follows the rise of Aretha 

Franklin’s (Jennifer Hudson) career from a child singing in her

her voice. Respect is directed by South African theater director/

► The Protégé (Theaters) Rescued as a child by legendary 

assassin Moody (Samuel L. Jackson) and trained in the family 

business, Anna (Maggie Q) is the world’s most skilled contract killer.

her everything she needs to know about trust and survival – is 

brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. As she becomes entangled with 

an enigmatic killer (Michael Keaton) whose attraction to her goes 

way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly, and the

► The Lost Leonardo (Theaters) The Lost Leonardo is the inside 

story behind the Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever 

sold at $450 million. From the moment the painting is bought for 

$1175 at a shady New Orleans auction house, and the restorer 

discovers masterful Renaissance brush strokes under the heavy 

varnish of its cheap restoration, the Salvator Mundi’s fate is 

determined by an insatiable quest for fame, money and power. 

As its price soars, so do questions about its authenticity: is this 

painting really by Leonardo da Vinci? The Lost Leonardo is directed 

by Danish filmmaker Andreas Koefoed.

new gadgets and gear, the PAW 

Patrol fights to save the citizens 

of Adventure City! 

► Reminiscence (Theaters + HBO Max) Nick Bannister 

(Hugh Jackman), a rugged and solitary veteran living in a nearfuture 

Miami flooded by rising seas, is an expert in a dangerous 

occupation: he offers clients the chance to relive any memory they 

desire. His life changes when he meets Mae (Rebecca Ferguson). 

What begins as a simple matter of lost 

and found becomes a passionate love 

affair. But when a different client’s 

memories implicate Mae in a series 

of violent crimes, Bannister must 


delve through the dark world of the past 

to uncover the truth about the woman he 

fell for. The cast also features Thandiwe 

Newton, Daniel Wu, Cliff Curtis, Natalie 

Martinez, Brett Cullen, and Teri Wybl.

In the spotlight, they are the perfect couple, healthy, happy, and 

glamourous. The birth of their first child, Annette, a mysterious 

girl with an exceptional destiny, will change their lives. Annette is 

directed by unique French filmmaker Leos Carax. 

► Demonic (Theaters) A young woman unleashes terrifying 

demons when supernatural forces at the root of a decades-old rift 

between mother and daughter are revealed. 

► Flag Day (Theaters) Jennifer Vogel’s father John was larger 

than life. As a child, Jennifer marveled at his magnetizing energy and 

ability to make life feel like a grand adventure. He taught her so much 

about love and joy, but he also happened to be the most notorious 

counterfeiter in US history. Based on a true story and directed by 

Sean Penn, Flag Day stars Penn and his real-life daughter Dylan Penn 

in an intimate family portrait about a young woman who struggles to 

rise above the wreckage of her past while reconciling the inescapable 

bond between a daughter and her father. 

► Sweet Girl (Netflix) Devoted family man Ray Cooper (Jason 

Momoa), vows justice against the pharmaceutical company

puts Ray and his daughter Rachel (Isabela Merced) in harm’s way, 

Ray’s mission turns into a quest for vengeance in order to protect 

the only family he has left. Sweet Girl is directed by the producer/ 

filmmaker Brian Andrew Mendoza. 

► The Night House (Theaters) Reeling from the unexpected death 

of her husband, Beth (Rebecca Hall) is left alone in the lakeside home 

he built for her. She tries as best she can to keep it together – but 

then nightmares come. Disturbing visions of a presence in the house 

calling to her, beckoning her with a ghostly allure. Against the advice 

of her friends, she begins digging into her husband’s belongings, 

yearning for answers. What she finds are secrets both strange and 

disturbing – a mystery she’s determined to unravel. 

► Wildland (Theaters) Following the death of her mother, Ida 

(Sandra Kampp) moves in with her aunt (Sidse Babette Knudsen) 

and her grown sons. Though her aunt’s home is filled with physical 

tenderness and love, the family leads a violent and criminal life. And 

when an unforeseen murder puts pressure on the family and their 

loyalty to each other, tension builds as love and violence become 

impossible to separate. 


► Candyman (Theaters) For as long as residents can remember, 

the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green neighborhood were 

terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer 

with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his 

name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last 

of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy 

(Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his partner, Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah 

Parris), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond 

recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials. With 

Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter 

with a Cabrini-Green old-timer (Colman Domingo) exposes Anthony 

to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman. 

Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony 

begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for 

paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels 

his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence that puts 

him on a collision course with destiny.

Released August 10th 

In an engaging and anecdotal social history, 

Siân Evans’s Maiden Voyages explores 

how women’s lives were transformed by 

the Golden Age of ocean liner travel between 

Europe and North America. 

During the early twentieth century, 

transatlantic travel was the province of 

the great ocean liners. It was an extraordinary 

undertaking made by many women, 

whose lives were changed forever by 

their journeys between the Old World and 

the New. Some traveled for leisure, some 

for work; others to reinvent themselves 

or find new opportunities. They were 

celebrities, migrants and millionaires, 

refugees, aristocrats and crew members 

whose stories have mostly remained untold―until 

now. 

Maiden Voyages is a fascinating portrait 

of these women as they crossed the Atlantic. 

The ocean liner was a microcosm 

of contemporary society, divided by class: 

from the luxury of the upper deck, playground 

for the rich and famous, to the 

cramped conditions of steerage or third-

Songbirds 

By Christy Lefteri 

Released August 3rd 

From the prize-winning author of The 

Beekeeper of Aleppo comes Songbirds, a 

stunning novel about the disappearance of 

a Sri Lankan domestic worker and how the 

most vulnerable people find their voices. 

Living on the island of Cyprus, Nisha 

is far from her native Sri Lanka. Though 

she longs to return home, she knows that 

working as a nanny and maid for a wealthy 

widow is the only way to earn enough to 

support her daughter, left behind to be 

raised by relatives. 

Yiannis is a poacher, trapping the tiny, 

protected songbirds that stop in Cyprus as 

they migrate each year from Africa to Europe 

and selling them on the illegal market. 

He dreams of finding a new way of life, and 

of marrying Nisha. 

But one night, Nisha makes dinner, an aromatic 

dahl curry, for the family who pays 

her: Petra and her daughter Aliki. Then, after 

she cleans the kitchen and tucks Aliki 

into bed, Nisha goes out on a mysterious 

errand, and vanishes. 

When the police refuse to pursue the 

case, Petra takes on the investigation 

herself, a path that leads her to Nisha’s 

friends—other workers in the neighborhood—and 

to the darker side of a migrant’s 

life, where impossible choices leave them 

vulnerable, captive, and worse. 

Inspired by the real-life disappearance of 

domestic workers in Cyprus, Christy Lefteri 

has crafted a poignant, deeply empathetic 

narrative of the human stories behind the 

headlines. With infinite tenderness and 

skill, Songbirds offers a triumphant story of 

the fight for truth and justice, and of women 

reclaiming their lost voices.

In the Wild Light 

By Jeff Zentner 


From the award-winning author of The 

Serpent King comes a beautiful examination 

of grief, found family, and young love. 

Life in a small Appalachian town is not 

easy. Cash lost his mother to an opioid addiction 

and his Papaw is dying slowly from 

emphysema. Dodging drug dealers and 

watching out for his best friend, Delaney, 

is second nature. He’s been spending his 

summer mowing lawns while she works at 

Dairy Queen. 

But when Delaney manages to secure 

both of them full rides to an elite prep 

school in Connecticut, Cash will have to 

grapple with his need to protect and love 

Delaney, and his love for the grandparents 

who saved him and the town he would have 

to leave behind.

The Family Plot 

By Megan Collins 


From the author of The Winter Sister and 

Behind the Red Door, this follows a family 

obsessed with true crime as they gather 

to bury their patriarch—only to find another 

body already in his grave. 

At twenty-six, Dahlia Lighthouse is 

haunted by her upbringing. Raised in a secluded 

island mansion deep in the woods 

and kept isolated by her true crime-obsessed 

parents, she is unable to move beyond 

the disappearance of her twin brother, 

Andy, when they were sixteen. 

After several years away and following 

her father’s death, Dahlia returns to the 

house, where the family makes a gruesome 

discovery: buried in their father’s plot is 

another body—Andy’s, his skull split open 

with an ax. 

Dahlia is quick to blame Andy’s murder 

on the serial killer who terrorized the island 

for decades, while the rest of her family 

reacts to the revelation in unsettling ways. 

Her brother, Charlie, pours his energy into 

creating a family memorial museum, highlighting 

their research into the lives of famous 

murder victims; her sister, Tate, forges 

ahead with her popular dioramas portraying 

crime scenes; and their mother affects 

a cheerfully domestic facade, becoming unrecognizable 

as the woman who performed 

murder reenactments for her children. As 

Dahlia grapples with her own grief and 

horror, she realizes that her eccentric family, 

and the mansion itself, may hold the answers 

to what happened to her twin. 

Velvet Was the Night 

By Silvia Moreno-Garcia 


1970s, Mexico City. Maite is a secretary 

who lives for one thing: the latest issue 

of Secret Romance. While student 

protests and political unrest consume the 

city, Maite escapes into stories of passion 

and danger. 

Her next-door neighbor, Leonora, a 

beautiful art student, seems to live a life 

of intrigue and romance that Maite envies. 

When Leonora disappears under suspicious 

circumstances, Maite finds herself 

searching for the missing woman—and 

journeying deeper into Leonora’s secret 

life of student radicals and dissidents. 

Meanwhile, someone else is also looking 

for Leonora at the behest of his boss, 

a shadowy figure who commands goon 

squads dedicated to squashing political 

activists. Elvis is an eccentric criminal who 

longs to escape his own life: He loathes violence 

and loves old movies and rock n’ roll. 

But as Elvis searches for the missing woman, 

he watches Maite from a distance—and 

comes to regard her as a kindred spirit who 

shares his love of music and the unspoken 

loneliness of his heart. 

Now as Maite and Elvis come closer to 

discovering the truth behind Leonora’s 

disappearance, they can no longer escape 

the danger that threatens to consume their 

lives, with hitmen, government agents, and 

Russian spies all aiming to protect Leonora’s 

secrets—at gunpoint.

TMJ 

You may have heard people say “I have 

TMJ” it is ok to answer so do I, I actually 

have two of them! That’s because it’s true! 

You do have two TempoMandibular joints known as TMJ - 

what you may not have is TMJ-D, TempoMandibular Joint 

Disorder or TMD TempoMandibular Disorder. This disorder 

is a broad term that covers joint pain, muscle pain and dysfunction 

of the joint. In most cases, this dysfunction is caused my 

spastic muscles. When the muscles on one side of the jaw are in 

spasm and one side is not, the joint will not move properly causing 

pain, popping or clicking. 

How does someone get TMJ-D or TMD? Excessive jaw movements, 

yawning, and chewing gum with abnormal movements 

can erode the disk. Whiplash injuries or traumatic blows to the 

head have been shown to be associated with both TMD and neck 

pain. People suffering from arthritis such as Rheumatoid arthritis 

are shown to have some TMJ issues. Poor posture in the cervical 

and thoracic spines has been shown to be associated with TMD. 

Treatments for TMD can be very simple to very complex. TMJ. 

org states that conservative reversible treatments should be exhausted 

prior to any surgery. What is a conservative treatment? 

Well, anything that doesn’t involve surgery or puncture the skin. 

With that being said, your first step should be to seek out a dentist 

that specializes in TMJ. Get a night guard made. Don’t chew 

gum. Do not try to make the jaw click or pop by causing excessive 

opening. Find a chiropractor. Yes, find a chiropractor who knows 

how to work on the TMJ. Chiropractors have an education that 

extends further than just the spine. Chiropractors are trained on 

the proper motion of not only the spine, but all the joints in the 

body. They are also trained on how to get those joints to move 

properly. If the muscles are in spasm, there is swelling from associated 

dysfunction of the joints chiropractors can get those 

muscles loose which allows proper movement of the joints. 

Proper movement of the joints and the mechanorecptors of the 

joints send signals to the brain that everything is working as it 

should. Chiropractors can also adjust your cervical spine (neck) 

and help with the muscles and joints related to posture. Proper 

motion in the joints equal proper function! 

Class IV cold laser therapy has also been shown to reduce inflammation 

in the TMJ as well as calm down any associated nerve 

pain that may be coming from the area. Once you have exhausted 

all of these options, and they have not worked, then it may be 

time to consider something more invasive. 

The moral of the story is: Don’t wait. If you’re suffering from 

TempoMandibular Disorder (TMD) there are specialists ready to 

help alleviate your pain and discomfort.

Surgery No, Transformation YES! 

Are you thinking about the 

latest and greatest procedure to 

change the shape of your body? 

Well question your decision before you put down that 

credit card. And I’m not talking about updating the boobies 

for a perkier look (I’ll be the first to tell you to go for 

that!), I’m talking about liposuction, fat transfers, booty implants, 

etc…all the procedures that promise a brand new you, and give 

you the look you always wanted, all those advertisements that just 

seem too good to be true. Sure, a shortcut seems appealing and ideal 

to some, or most…but you may want to think twice before going 

under the knife. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against all surgeries 

- I’m for the mom that has lots of excess extra skin. I’m for the one 

who has literally tried everything (and tried it the right way) and 

just needs that little extra help. I’m just weary against unnecessary 

procedures and here’s why: 

1Regret. I can’t tell you how many clients regret their surgery. 

After it’s done, there is no going back. The worst is 

when a client does go back to get a revision and it comes 

out worse. Before going in, you should ask yourself, “Is this my 

last resort, have I tried everything else? Would I really need lipo if 

I just cleaned up my diet? Do I really need booty implants, if I did 

all the right exercises - even if it took me 2-3 years or whatever 

the time frame may be?” 

2Longevity of results. Sure, you might look like a hot tamale 

for a quick minute but if you don’t have the foundation of a 

healthy lifestyle, the results will not last. I’ve had clients tell 

me they got lipo and gained it all back! Can you imagine spending 

all that time, money, and risks only to gain it all back. I never understood 

how one could think they can continue eating junk and the 

fat would never come back. That would be a miracle! If you learn 

how to eat and exercise correctly, those are the results that last. It 

may not be the quick fix you were hoping for but I can promise that 

you’ll really appreciate the results once you get there. 

3The bad fat. Plastic surgery does not get rid of the dangerous 

visceral fat that sticks around the organs. This type of fat can 

lead to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. If you think that 

after going under the knife, you’re going to become a “healthier” 

version of yourself, think again. Once again everything leads back 

to diet and exercise. No quick fix, but one that will help you live 

healthier, stronger, and longer. 

4Undesired results. This kind of goes along with the regret I 

mentioned above, but I can honestly say most of my clients 

that had various procedures are truly unhappy with the outcome 

for one reason or another. Dimpled bellies, drooping derriere 

implants, infected areas, boxy shapes, the list goes on. Most looks 

that the average client is after ARE attainable through eating clean 

and the right exercises. You might never have a booty like Kim Kardashian, 

but do you really want one? If so, then do what makes you 

happy, but know the results are not always as promised and you 

should to be prepared to deal with that possibility. 

Hopefully reading this article has given you a few points to consider 

before committing to surgery. Ultimately doing what makes 

you happiest is what is most important. Being informed and doing 

research will ensure you make the best decision for you!

BACK TO SCHOOL 

Supplies on a Budget 

First Day of School is TUESday, August 10 

It is possible to get your kids stocked 

up on their essential school supplies 

on a budget, it just takes a little bit of 

homework, planning, and preparation. 

By lisa marie 

The month of August can be expensive! 

Kids starting back to 

school, particularly if you have 

more than one, can be overwhelming 

with everything you need to buy. A little 

bit of planning and online research 

can help minimize those costs and take 

away some of the headaches. 

Let’s get started with ‘stationery’ 

requirements. It’s best to check out 

what your child’s teacher/school suggest 

they bring with them on their 

first day. This will usually be posted on 

the school website and can be slightly 

different depending on which grade. 

My first suggestion is to check your 

home stock, you might be surprised! 

See what you have that can fulfil the 

schools’ requirements and save $$$. 

I know that my office is full of pens, 


pencils, paperclips, notebooks and more. Re-use and repurpose binders and folders, even adding stickers 

to make them look refreshed. Clean and fix up older backpacks and pencil cases that you have, 

maybe even dye them a bright new color to give them a new lease of life and another school year! 

It is not usually essential to send everything on the teachers ‘wish list’ in to school on day 

one. Try spreading the cost by buying some things next month. I’m pretty 

sure they don’t need 3 boxes of tissues on the first day of school. 

Now onto the research. This is an especially important step in 

getting the best deals for those essential back to school items that 

you do not already have at home! Florida offers a ‘back to school 

tax free holiday,’ a perfect time to save an instant 6% if you buy in 

this timeframe. This year it is July 31st through August 9th, so be 

on the lookout for doorbusters, bulk buying, sales and coupons, 

where many a deal can be found. Lots of retailers are offering 

great bargains this time of year. 

Now let us look at their school clothes/uniforms. We 

know that kids grow way too fast and very often don’t 

wear out their clothes. Why not make a visit to your 

local thrift store? Jackets, jeans, shorts, shoes, and 

sneakers can often be found at a fraction of the store 

prices. If your local thrift stores are not coming up 

with the goods, then try Facebook or Nextdoor. Interact 

with fellow moms in your area or create a group 

where you can do a clothing/backpack/lunchbox exchange. 

Where your child was once into Paw Patrol or 

Lion King, they now may like Star Wars or Spiderman - 

and in an exchange everyone wins!

The Key to Success 

BY nicol jenkins | photos courtesy of SOFLA HOME REALTY 

50 | August 2021 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

Local Realtor Roberta 

Lucas can’t stop 

counting her blessings. 

As we enter the third quarter in 2021, this has become the 

second most successful year of her real estate career with 

approximately $13 million dollars in sales. 

“Thriving in everything I do is the only option and sometimes the 

pressure I put on myself can take a toll on me. It’s no secret how too 

much work can tear someone’s health apart and for me the key to 

survival is to have a balanced life,” said Roberta. 

Roberta Lucas of SoFlo Home Realty, who specializes in the South 

Florida real estate market, has expanded and opened a second office 

in Delray Beach and has welcomed some very talented new 

agents. The second office location is 4 SE 6th Ave., Delray Beach, 

FL 33483. The aim with this addition is to establish SOFLO Home 

Realty as a Premier Luxury Estate Brokerage in the South Florida 

region. There are also pre-construction homes for sale by Roberta 

Lucas located at: 718 S Lake Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33483. The new 

homes are built by her business partner and husband George Lucas 

of Tropical Custom Builders.

“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 a step towards realizing that vision. 

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

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

Realty,” continued Roberta. 

“We are busier than ever with walk-ins and non-stop phone calls. 

I sold out the six new construction homes in Delray Beach for Phase 

1 of my project, and now I’m looking forward to having the next five 

pre-construction homes sold very soon with three already under 

contract all starting at $2,100,000 million dollars. Housing prices 

are up 30% and with interest rates stabled, I do not foresee any 

hiccup in the near future,” said Roberta. “Who would’ve imagined 

that in the midst of a pandemic we would have a boom in real estate 

and in the economy. As an investor, I recommend homeowners to 

sell their homes and live in a rental. It’s time to liquidate your assets! 

Yes, we still find good deals out there and yes, the prices are 

still climbing, but if we watch the history of real estate, we are due 

for an adjustment in the next few years.” 

With real estate comes a passion for cars. Roberta was born into a 

family of race car and motorcycle drivers. “Then, I met my husband 

whose passion for racing was greater than mine and now our kids 

are following our footsteps with their interest in racing. Having the 

cars of our dreams became a reality thanks to real estate. A home 

cannot be stolen from you and if you purchase for the right dollar 

amount, it can be one of your safest and greatest investments.” 

In the end, a balanced and healthy life is far from acquiring cars and 

homes. Roberta truly believes that if you do something you love without 

thinking of monetary compensation you will be rewarded regardless. 

“Spiritualism is my trade and the way we receive back things is 

how we offer them. I believe in the power of giving and the power 

of our minds, thus as age approaches along with wealth and every 

day’s growth and stress, seeking mental health to me was found in 

tennis. I joined the Newport Bay Club division after only 4 months 

of practice. I found something to release all my stress and I’ve never 

thought I would be in the shape I am today. Thanks to a healthy diet, 

exercise and meditation I can be a successful Realtor in the state of 

Florida,” added Roberta. 

Roberta’s clients praise her for putting their best interest first. 

“I have known Roberta Lucas for more than 5 years and had worked 

with her to buy, sell, and rent multiple properties. She is amazing at 

her job and works tirelessly to make her clients happy. If you want 

to buy your dream house, then she’s the best realtor out there. She 

had shown me countless properties when I was searching for my 

dream house. She’s extremely well versed in real estate and she has 

the knowledge of a general contractor, both of which come in very 

handy. She will not steer you wrong, and always has her clients’ best 

interests at heart. I would highly recommend her!” stated a client. 

“Roberta is amazing in what she does! She made my experience in 

selling my condo and buying my dream home as sweet and easy as I 

could have asked for. Her sense of responsibility and perfectionism in 

having all the details squared off, as well as her knowledge of the market, 

guided me so well throughout the entire process that before I blinked 

my eyes, I was moving to my dream home,” stated another client. 

“Roberta is very prompt in her attention and responses. Once we 

contacted her, she responded immediately with an impressive listing 

of homes. She is still staying connected with us throughout our 

search for a home,” said another client.

THE BIG APPLE SHOPPING BAZAAR 

Change is in the Air 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

The Big Apple Shopping Bazaar – like most retail concepts – is changing 

to meet the needs of its customers. And after a year of quiet resolutions 

and family down time, everyone is ready for the world to reopen. 

That is why The Big Apple Shopping Bazaar is heralding their 

twice monthly special events. They have pop-up shops with 

vendors like Color Street, Candle makers, a Tupperware Representative 

and clothing vendors. 

The key to this newly defined retail concept is that anything goes. 

That means the parking lot has become the site for Car Shows that 

burst with vitality and car reverie. On September 25th there will be 

the “Big Apple Bug In” with Volkswagens of every year and style on 

display. There will be food trucks, music, trophies and prizes. “All 

makes and models are welcome and the event is free,” said Event 

Coordinator Mari Mishaan. 

For art lovers they have monthly Art Shows courtesy of the Delray 

Art League. This colorful conglomeration of creativity takes 

place the third weekend of every month on Saturday from 10am to 

5:30pm and Sunday from 11am to 4pm. 

There are new vendors at The Big Apple that sparkle with great 

products and good intentions. There are also new opportunities for 

small businesses to showcase their wares in a friendly retail atmosphere. 

The base rent starts as low as $500 a month with a “No 

Lease” option. “During Covid some businesses had to close down 

or downsize. We have booths with showcases and slatwall that 

are ready to set up shop right away and start a business with little 

down time and low overhead,” said Michelle Elias, administrator. 

That is the reason the new shops in the Big Apple are opening up 

and bringing new flair and fascination with fashion and food, tailoring, 

eyewear, makeup, shoes, jewelry, etc. 

One new place to settle down for some down-home food and 

friendly banter is the The Good Coffee Café. Owner Walter was a 

businessman for many years and realized that dreams should come 

true. “I realized that if I did not open a café now when would I do it? 

The answer is Now. 

Walter is a rarified gentleman – serving patrons tableside and 

being the perfect host. His spice cake is divine and the menu boasts 

sauteed shrimp po boy sandwiches, burgers, Steak Hoagies, fish, 

Bacon and eggs on a bagel, fresh brewed coffees, coconut cake, his 

famous Carmel Macchiato and more. 

A few feet away is from The Good Coffee Café is The Fantasy of 

Jewels. This wonderful emporium of glitter and glitz (with class) 

specializes in necklaces, rings, earrings and other baubles for $5. 

The owner Yvonne is as eclectic and spirited as her reasonable 

priced collection. Her jewels have no nickel, lead or cadmium; and 

children’s jewelry is only $1. 


Nearby is another fun prolific fashionista – Danish Buckley of 

NotYourMomStyle. She has a full collection of European inspired 

dresses, blouses, scarves and other fashion items. Buckley’s eye 

for detail and fashion savvy is unparalleled. The colors are serene 

and sophisticated, and if you need advice on what to wear you 

have an expert by your side. “There is nothing like a well-dressed 

woman. I want to help women feel confident, my slogan is ‘It’s 

You, only Better.’” Come to where fashion and frivolity are meshed 

with class and color. 

In order to tackle the world and see its inherent beauty check out

A Family Law Attorney 

That Cares and Gets Results 

By nicol jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

“Hey dad, do you 

know what your rights 

are to your child?” 

you know that when a child is born out of wedlock, 

the biological father has no legal rights to the child?” 

“Did 

These are some of the many questions that local matrimonial 

and family law attorney Cynthia M. Pyfrom, P.A. asks her 

clients, so she is able to help parents navigate the legal process. 

“Under Florida law, the mother of a child born out of wedlock is 

the natural guardian of the child and is entitled to primary residential 

care and custody of the child unless the court enters an order 

stating otherwise,” said Pyfrom. 

What does this mean? 

“Even if you, the father, are on your child’s birth certificate, that 

does not give you legal rights to have timesharing with your child 

or make decisions for your child. Pursuant to Florida Statutes, the 

mother has those rights exclusively when a child is born out of wedlock. 

When this situation presents itself, the mother has to agree to 

give the father timesharing. However, she is not obligated to. Further, 

fathers do not have any legal rights to make decisions concerning 

the child’s education, healthcare, or other major decisions in 

the child’s life unless the mother allows the father to participate,” 

said Pyfrom. 

“Time and time again, parents of a child born out of wedlock 

tend to get along for a certain period of time, which results in dad 

being ‘allowed’ to spend time with the child and be a part of the 

child’s life. However, when that relationship between the parents 

falls apart for whatever reason, the mother sometimes refuses to 

allow the father to see the child, or participate in the parenting of 

that child, anymore. This is not only traumatic to the child, but also 

heartbreaking to an involved father,” added Pyfrom. 

What can fathers in this situation do? The father has to file a Paternity 

action in the appropriate court to establish his rights by a 

court order. In Florida, a Parenting Plan is required, which outlines 

all rights and obligations of each parent to their child. Once the Parenting 

Plan is approved and entered by the court, the father has just 

as many rights to that child as the mother does. 

“If you find yourself in this situation, it is recommended to address 

your rights early on instead of waiting for an emergency 

situation to occur. If the mother of your child decides she wants 

to move out of State, or somewhere else in Florida, she has every 

right to do so, without your permission, because she is the 

primary residential custodian of the child until a court enters an 

order stating otherwise. Do not wait until it is too late. Establish 

your paternity rights early,” continued Pyfrom. “As a side note, according 

to Florida Statutes, if the mother of any child born out 

of wedlock and the reputed father of that child shall, at any time 

after its birth, intermarry, the child shall in all respects be deemed 

and held to be the child of the husband and wife, as though born 

within wedlock.” 

Cynthia M. Pyfrom will fight for her clients when it comes to matters 

of matrimonial and family law. 

Her law firm, Cynthia M. Pyfrom, P.A. was founded in January of 

2014 on the belief that everyone deserves honest and straightforward 

legal representation. She has a passion for family law that is 

evidenced by her numerous years of experience as a paralegal and 

ultimate decision to attend law school in order to make a personal 

impact in her community. 


Cynthia M. Pyfrom, P.A. provides high quality legal representation 

in Matrimonial and Family Law matters, including but 

not limited to dissolution of marriage, child support, timesharing, 

equitable distribution of property, modifications, enforcement, 

contempt, pre and post nuptial agreements, paternity 

and alimony. Since these matters can sometimes be a financial 

burden on the parties involved, Cynthia M. Pyfrom, P.A. provides 

competitive rates along with reasonable retainer fees. 

The attorney believes her practice is unique because of her 

extensive legal background and her personal experiences in 

life, which give her a distinctive empathetic perspective. Cynthia 

specializes in personalized attention to each of her clients. 

She is easily accessible to answer her client’s questions regarding 

their case, and she deals with clients on a one-on-one basis. 

Pyfrom thinks her firm has been so successful because of 

the small boutique service. The office also has a dedicated 

staff and an Associate Attorney, Francesca Vigna, Esq., to help 

assist in providing high-quality legal services to the clients. 

“I am doing this job to help people and money is secondary. I 

really do care about my clients and want to help them through 

everything that comes along with a divorce. Divorce can be a 

very stressful time and you want an attorney who cares about 

you and your concerns in order to help get you through it as 

painless as possible,” she said. 

Cynthia M. Pyfrom is always available to answer your legal 

questions.

From High-School to College 

One Huge Step for Students and 

One Giant Leap for Parents! 

By lisa marie 

If you have a child going off to college this August, 

based on my experience, you are in for a roller 

coaster of emotions. But it does get easier, I promise! 

My son was heading off to FSU (Florida State University) in 

the summer of 2018. It was something I had kept parked 

towards the back of my mind in the buildup to August of 

that year. I really did not want to face the emotions that I knew 

were brewing inside me and I knew could boil over at any time. 

First of all, this would be the first time he would be living away from 

home and secondly IT WAS SO FAR AWAY! 

We did lots of preparing. The dorm room was chosen, the dorm 

friends agreed, the mattress topper had arrived, two sets of sheets 

and the comforter were all ready to go. We had invested in an air 

purifier to keep him and his roommate as germ free as possible. 

We purchased a TV, cables, a fan, a lamp, new towels, clothes, and 

bathroom supplies, especially cleaning wipes!! 

I was forever making and adding to lists and I think this is what 

kept my mind quiet. I was busy preparing for my sons’ ultimate 

departure and doing everything to stop me from dwelling on the 

ever-looming day! 

I added things to those lists that I don’t think he has ever used in 


his three years at college, but I wanted to make sure he was 

covered for any eventuality. I mean come on, he is a young 

man, when will he ever use an air freshener spray, an umbrella 

or toilet cleaner? 

We booked our accommodation in Tallahassee ahead of 

time as we planned to be there for the whole weekend… Just to 

eke it out as long as possible and to keep the ‘Goodbyes’ at bay. 

A week or two before our ‘parting’ day I was beginning to 

become a bit weepy. As almost all planning was complete, I 

had nothing else to focus my mind on except that he would 

soon be gone. I tried to stay strong and composed in front of 

my son as he seemed to be coping so well. He was confident 

and excited and ultimately this was the day we had been preparing 

him for his whole life. 

With our cars loaded, my husband, daughter, son-in-law, son 

and myself made our way to Tallahassee, which from South 

Florida is at least a 6-hour drive. So far, so good! We made it 

to Tally in good time considering it was move in week for all 

colleges in Florida. We all stayed together the first night and 

were up bright and breezy on the Saturday morning to start 

the move-in process. It all went well. I tried to get the place as 

clean as possible as that is a “mom” thing to do but as my son 

didn’t want anything fancy in his dorm, he was settled within 

a few hours, and that is a “son” thing! 

We were all done by midday and the next 24 hours were a 

blur and a mixture of eating out and finding our way around 

Tallahassee. However, our farewells were imminent. I could feel 

myself getting choked up and the tears were never far away. 

I have to say that our goodbye on Sunday was a relatively 

quick affair, for which I am thankful. No point dragging it out 

and upsetting my son. 

I cried on and off for a few days. At first, grocery shopping 

was hard, seeing his favorite foods that I no longer needed to 

buy, and the house seemed so quiet without him. A part of us 

was missing, but slowly, we have adjusted to our new normal. I 

have been extremely fortunate that our son has chosen to keep 

in touch on a regular basis, so I don’t feel like I am harassing 

him. I still fret the whole time he is driving to or from Tally and 

I still get upset whenever he leaves to head back up north but, it 

has become a lot easier - and once he arrives back at college our 

lives resume to our new ‘normal.’ 


ADU RESTORATION 

Remodeling and Showroom 

By Diane Feen | photos courtesy of ADU restoratoin 

South Florida is a great place to live. There’s the 

beautiful weather, pristine beaches, the outdoor 

lifestyle and the casual countenance of being. 

But there is one thing that South Florida is famous for, and it’s 

not bikinis or pina coladas. 

It’s mold, mildew and damaging storms. The heat and 

humidity are great for the beach, but it’s a recipe for disaster on 

the home front. And now that we are in prime hurricane season 

until November, the threat of damage to your home is at a steady 

increase. 

All Dry USA, a locally owned and operated repair and restoration 

company, has been in business for over a decade helping homeowners 

and businesses remove mold. Responding 24 hours to appliance 

leaks, tub overflows and toilet backups. 

“The Team You Trust And The Results You Need: Certified, bonded, 

licensed and insured specialists. We are truly the only call you 

have to make,” is their motto. 

“We understand that trust and reliability is immensely important 

in our line of work. We invest in our employees’ education to ensure 

we are sending certified professionals to your home at all times.” 

“All Dry USA will have it clean and rebuild-ready.” 

But what about putting it all back? 

If you’ve had water damage at your property then you know 

the most important part once clean and dry is putting it back together. 

That’s why you need someone to repair your home, condo 

or business swiftly (and better than before) so you can go back to 

life as usual. 

ADU Remodeling, a full-service company, rebuilds your home 

once the restoration teams have completed their specialty services. 

Whether you are looking to restore your home after a storm or leak, 

remodel your kitchen or bathroom, or build a new outdoor kitchen 

and entertainment center, ADU does it all. 

ADU will address all of your home’s needs, from start to finish - 

from property damage repair to your dream remodel. 

The local ADU Showroom in Boynton Beach is your one-stop 

shop to find unique, quality finish materials such as tile, flooring 

and countertops. Staffed by true caring professionals to answer 

your questions and assist in choosing and coordinating the materials 

for your project, based on your taste and budget. 

Their showroom has a wide variety of tile, waterproof flooring 

and countertops on display as well as multiple lines of complete 

kitchen selections. 

Their cabinetry ranges from modern to traditional shaker 

doors. Countertops come in natural stone such as marble and 

quartzite or man-made materials like porcelain and quartz. 

To make it easier to envision your new kitchen or bath, they 

have design options such as large book-matching patterns and 3D 

wall panels. They also build and install outdoor kitchens and entertainment 

centers. 

The vision behind ADU Contractors is to offer homeowners and 

businesses the best construction experience from start to finish. 

Stephanie agrees. “All I can say is WOW! ADU reps met with us to 

discuss designs and presented several options for our office, kitchen 

and bathroom until they looked like what we envisioned. When 

it came to the execution of the project, they nailed it. The ADU team 


They also have locations in New York, North Carolina, Texas, New 

Jersey as fully licensed contractors with vast areas of expertise. “It’s 

a seamless process hiring us because all you have to do is call one 

place and we will service all of your properties.”

and the products they carry were everything we needed.” 

They also sell to contractors who need material and hardware, 

and customers who want products to do it themselves. As a national 

material buyer, they can procure many items the big box stores 

don’t carry, and don’t have experience with. 

All Dry USA also feels strongly about supporting small businesses 

and local non-profits. They partnered with “Feeding South 

Florida Summer Hunger Food Frenz,” and helped raise money for 

over 10,839 meals.

This Month in History 

Looking Back 

August in History 

By Lewis David 

Looking back at important dates that 

took place in the month of August both 

here in America and across the globe. 

August 1st, 1838 and 1944 

• Over 300 years since it was first introduced to the island, 

slavery was officially abolished in Jamaica. A little less than thirty 

years later, the United States would follow in its footsteps. 

• The last diary entry of Anne Frank was penned. 

Three days later she and her family were arrested 

by the Nazi regime and sent to concentration 

camps. Anne died at the Bergen-Belsen 

camp the following year, aged 15. 

August 2nd, 1776 

• A parchment copy of the Declaration 

of Independence was signed by most 

of the 55 members of the Continental 

Congress. 

August 3rd, 1492 

• The explorer Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain with 

the ships Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. His voyage, searching for 

a western route to the Far East, saw him discover a number of 

Caribbean Islands, and paved the way for the exploration of the 

New World. 

August 4th, 1962 

• Nelson Mandela, a well-known opponent of Apartheid, was 

arrested by police in South Africa and would eventually be sentenced 

to life in prison for high treason and conspiracy 

to overthrow the government. A 

worldwide campaign was 

conducted in the 1980s and 

culminated in his release 

from prison in 1990. Four 

years after his release, in 

the first election black 

South Africans could vote 

in, Mandela was voted in 

as president. 

66 | August august 2021 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com

August 9th, 1945 and 1974 

• The second atomic bombing of Japan took place as the United 

States dropped the atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki, looking to 

force the Japanese into surrender. 

August 6, 1945, and 1965 

• The first use of atomic weapons in warfare was used as 

the United States dropped an atomic bomb over the centre of 

Hiroshima, Japan during the Second World War. 

• Richard Nixon resigns as President of the United States and 

Vice President Gerald Ford swears the oath of office to take his 

place as the 38th US President. 

• President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 

1965 into law. The Act was designed to counter the Jim Crow laws 

that had become commonplace in the South and looked to expand 

voting rights for disenfranchised African Americans. 


• The Soviet Union declared war on Japan, sending troops into 

Japanese-held Manchuria. 


• Frederick Douglass, 

an escaped slave, 

spoke to a Northern 

audience for the 

first time in his 

life. His powerful 

and emotional 

account of his 

life as a slave 

contributed to 

the increasingly 

negative views of 

slavery held in the 

North. 



• The Berlin Wall emerged following the East German government 

closing the borders between the Eastern and Western sectors of 

Berlin. It would become one of the notorious symbols of the Cold 

War until it came down in 1989. 

August 14th, 1935 and 1945 


• The Allies complete the conquest of Sicily after only 38 days. 

This would give the Allies control of the Mediterranean and help 

force Italy out of the war. 

• President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law 

which established the system of guaranteeing pension to those who 

retired at the age of 65. 


• The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, granting women 

the right to vote, was ratified. 

August 21st, 1959 

• A few months after admitting Alaska to the Union, President 

Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the proclamation that admitted 

Hawaii to the Union as the 50th state. 

• Following the dropping of two atomic bombs and the 

declaration of war by the Soviet Union, the Japanese Empire 

officially announced its surrender. 



• During the War of 1812 against the British Empire, Washington 

D.C. was invaded by British forces, leading to the burning of the 

Capitol, the White House, and a number of other public buildings 

and private homes. This was done in response to the earlier 

American burning of modern-day Toronto. 


• Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a prominent Civil Rights 

figure and a preacher of non-violence, delivered his famous “I Have 

a Dream” speech at the Lincoln memorial during the March on 

Washington. 


• The Indonesian Island of Krakatoa saw one of the most 

catastrophic volcanic eruptions in recorded human history. The 

explosions were heard from 2,000 miles away and waves as high as

Telling Our Story Like Never Before: 

One Delray Chamber Nonprofit at a Time 

Let’s celebrate Community Greening -- for cooling our streets, cleaning our air, and beautifying our city! 

– By Katherine Fadraga & Jonathan Marriott 

photo by Tara Inc Photography 

Community Greening, an award-winning urban forestry nonprofit, 

is all about celebrating these days! Founded in 2016 by 

Delray Beach residents, Mark Cassini and Matt Shipley, Community 

Greening gained widespread community support and has planted 

more than 7,000 trees with volunteers in Palm Beach County, 4,000 of 

those are right here in Delray. Their approach attracted national attention 

as the US Fish & Wildlife Service named them a “Conservation 

Partner of the Year” for the SE United States. Also the National Arbor 

Day Foundation awarded them the “Spirit of the Arbor Day” award for 

exemplifying their mission. Through awards like Impact 100, the CG 

staff has traveled to Atlanta, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Portland, Sacramento 

and San Francisco learning from leaders in the field to implement 

proven ideas to implement in our city. 

Passion and partnerships drove the creation of Community Greening. 

Local businesses, schools, City staff, and residents are getting behind 

their mission of creating sustainable green spaces and a vibrant 

tree canopy. Through collaboration the community is able to equitably 

strengthen our environment, economy, society and health. Their 

Youth Tree Team employs local teens to plant and care for trees. “Community 

Greening is important to me because not only are we helping 

the Earth, but we are creating unity with our tree giveaways and park 

plantings. We have people from all over volunteering for a great cause 

and getting to know one another”, said Tree Technician Kenny Williams, 

a resident of the Southwest neighborhood. 

The City of Delray Beach and Community Greening are working together 

on a 10,000 tree campaign to increase our City’s tree canopy to 

28%. You might have attended one of their family-friendly “tree planting 

parties”, received trees at their drive-through “Trees in Trunks” 

giveaways. You may have enjoyed their plantings as you drive along 

Lake Ida Road at Spady Elementary, the Volen Center or Barwick Park. 

“CG is important because it brings the community together to learn 

about Delray Beach’s ecosystem and how we can take a proactive 

stance in helping sustain it. CG cleans up and brings back to life neglected 

spaces, like the Community Grove at Catherine Strong Park, 

and it gives everyone a chance to plant a tree, leaving their legacy for 

generations to come”, said Community Greening board member and 

Delray Beach Police Department Lt. Daniela Quinn. In short, CG empowers 

residents to make a tangible difference. 

Having the business community’s strong support is a major factor 

allowing Community Greening to do what they do best. “I personally 

have followed their work over the past several years and the tremendous 

impact they are having in our community. The desire to get involved 

was quite simple for our team; we are a rapidly growing mortgage 

branch with strong ties to Delray Beach. Forming this partnership 

provides great opportunity to invest in not only the land we all walk on 

but the people we all walk with. We truly look forward to the impact 

our monthly donation will provide and to further assist in the growth 

of such a great non-profit,” said John Digges, of Let’s Talk Mortgages.

North Carolina 

A place that might just offer it all 

BY Lisa Marie 

North Carolina is bordered by 4 states 

and an ocean, and it offers some of 

the most magnificent scenery. 

Situated in the southeastern region of 

the United States, North Carolina has a 

population of around 10.5 million people, 

making it the 9th most populous state in 

the U.S. With such diverse landscapes, it is 

understandable why so many folks make it 

their home. If you don’t reside in North Carolina, 

that gives you the perfect excuse to 

take a vacation in the state where “First in 

Flight” is written across their license tags. A 

place where the Wright brothers who were 

born and raised in Ohio, took the first flight 

on the NC coast in Kitty Hawk. However, 

choosing where to visit on your vacation 

opens a vast and diverse selection because 

NC has something for every traveler. Let us 

take a look at some of your options. 

Wilmington 

This historic port city is the most accessible 

coastal area in the state. You can 

take a stroll along Wilmington’s Riverwalk, 

which runs along the Cape Fear River. It is 

a vibrant place with galleries, shops, waterfront 

hotels, and restaurants to explore. 

You can walk the decks of the moored 

Battleship North Carolina and learn about 

WW11 naval combat history. Other attractions 

include its three popular beaches, 

Carolina, Wrightsville and Kure. Kure is 

home to NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher, a top 

regional and national attraction every year. 

There are also an array of plantations and 

mansions to explore including Poplar Grove 

Plantation, the oldest peanut plantation in 

the United States, and the antebellum Bellamy 

Mansion. 

wilmington, NC 


its modern city center and home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame and 

Charlotte Motor Speedway. It is here in Uptown that you will also 

find the Levine Museum of the New South, exploring southern 

post-Civil War history. Charlotte has lots of other attractions too; 

Carowinds (amusement park), U.S. National Whitewater Center 

(activities), Discovery Place Science (museum), and Daniel Stowe 

Botanical Garden located on 380 acres of rolling meadows, woodlands 

and lakefront property in Belmont, North Carolina. 

old salem, NC 

Old Salem 

Old Salem was originally settled by the Moravian community in 

1766. Located in the historic district of Winston-Salem, it is a 

living museum, sharing the authentic and diverse cultural history 

of the early south. It is a recreation of what life was like during 

the 18th and 19th centuries. Visitors can watch tailors, shoemakers 

and gunsmiths performing their trade. The museums —the 

Historic Town of Salem, the Museum of Early Southern Decorative 

Arts (MESDA), and the Gardens at Old Salem with give you 

a memorable and educational experience. The Museum of Early 

Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) contains a wonderful assortment 

of furniture, metalworks, ceramics, needlework, prints and 

paintings made and used in the early American South. 

charlotte, NC 

Charlotte 

Charlotte is the largest city and commercial hub in North Carolina. 

Nicknamed the ‘Queen City’ as it was founded by European 

settlers in 1768, when King George III still ruled the Colonies. 

They named the new hamlet after the King’s wife, Queen 

Charlotte, and gave the surrounding county the name Mecklenburg 

in honor of her majesty’s birthplace in Germany. Uptown is

destination in this state park is the 535-million-year-old 

towering monolith known as the Chimney Rock. To reach the summit 

and enjoy the amazing dramatic scenery that awaits, tourists 

can choose to take the 26-story elevator or climb the 500 steps. 

On a clear day, visitors can savor over 75-mile views overlooking 

rolling mountains, Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. 

Asheville 

The town of Asheville is located in western North Carolina with 

panoramic vistas of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. 

Hikers’ heaven! Asheville is an unexpected gem that is vibrant, 

artsy and rich in history. Nicknamed ‘Foodtopia’ you will 

not be disappointed when it comes to eating and drinking in this 

town. Choc-full of gastro pubs, bistro’s, diners, it also boasts more 


ASHEVILLE, NC 

breweries per capita than any U.S. city. The South Slope aka 

The Brewery District is the place to visit to sample the local 

beers on draft and in bottles. The world-famous Biltmore Estate 

attracts around one million visitors each year. Opened in 

1895, George Vanderbilt’s 250-room mansion is the largest 

privately owned house in the U.S. The 8,000-acre estate also

Shaun Hall 

My mother 

told us 

that it’s 

important 

to give 

back and 

volunteer 

whenever 

you can

Spreading Goodness in Real Time 

Shawn Hall grew up in Rochelle, Illinois and learned at an early 

age that doing good should be a top priority. It was his mother 

Sandy that set the ball rolling for this selfless Delray resident 

to move mountains with a feather – if it was for a good cause. 

“My mother told us that it’s important to give back and 

volunteer whenever you can. We would go to nursing 

homes at Christmas and she would play piano and I 

would play drums for residents,” said the internet marketing guru 

who walks softly on this earth, yet leaves a big footprint. 

Hall delivered turkeys to those less fortunate on Thanksgiving and 

volunteered in high school for the Key Club. 

As a young lad he also went door to door asking to cut lawns and 

hedges for a modest fee. Soon he had so many customers he paid his 

friends to do the work while he canvassed for new customers. 

But, this Illinois boy knew very little about Florida until he visited 

his father in Lake Worth when he was 21. “I didn’t know that winters 

were optional. I was sitting in the Key Lime House the day after 

Christmas in a t-shirt and shorts and I said to myself, ‘There’s no 

winter here, I have to move to Florida.’” 

That is exactly what he did. He took on odd jobs, joined the Chamber 

of Commerce of the Palm Beaches, and volunteered for the 

American Cancer Society. He chaired the “Relay for Life” event, a 24- 

hour walk to honor those with cancer (or lost to cancer). 

In 2012 Hall found his career niche working in sales for an internet 

marketing firm. “I loved being able to wear shorts and t-shirts to work, 

and relished the challenge of learning how internet marketing works.” 

Though he worked with large companies, Hall was thinking in 

smaller terms for his future goals. “I took what I learned about internet 

marketing and realized I could help small businesses and startups 

flourish.” 

His idea took root and he started his own business, Viral Vision 

Marketing. But it is not business success that draws Hall toward 

the light. Quite to the contrary, his legend is one of volunteering 

and making a difference in the lives of others – especially in Delray 

Beach. 

“Shaun is one of the most beautiful souls in Delray Beach. He 

has consistently gone above and beyond for HOW Foundation and 

our community. He really puts 150% into whatever he does,” said 

Sarah Crane. 

For Crane’s charity (HOW Foundation) Hall created “Slack by the 

Sea,” a .5K mile run for people who don’t enjoy the rigors of getting 

up at the crack of dawn and running three miles. Instead, the celebrated 

547-yard run has all the perks of a marathon, with none of 

the physical overload. Even doughnuts and beer are served halfway. 

“This is slackers paradise. You get a VIP ticket and don’t have to 

run far. You can sit in a VIP area, get a swag bag, a medal and a shoulder 

massage without running too much. We had over 300 people last 

time, and raised $10,000 for the HOW Foundation.” 

Hall is also on the admin team of the Delray Beach Community 

Forum on Facebook. The group of over 15,000 members share important 

updates and news from around the city. They also highlight 

Delray non-profits. 

When the going got rough last year Hall went into overdrive to 

help others. He co-founded The Florida Covid Response Fund (with 

Gregg Weiss) that provided legal and financial assistance to Florida 

residents facing housing insecurity due to COVID. They got widespread 

media attention and raised money to help those in need. 

“We met a single mother with four children who had no refrigerator. 

We got her a new fridge right away and a $200 Publix gift card. 

The kids were giving me hugs and I could see first-hand the joy that 

comes with doing good for others. It makes it all worth it.” 

Hall also co-created an initiative - Support Delray - that rewarded 

people for shopping, dining, and spending money at local 

Delray businesses. For each dollar spent at a small business in 

Delray, the person earned a point. Prizes were awarded to the top 

three supporters. 

To know Hall is to know that his fingerprints are all over the 

Chamber of Commerce. He is on the leadership committee for the 

Young Professional Association of Delray. He is also an ambassador 

for the chamber and on the membership committee. 

As part of the Chamber’s “Do Good Delray,” initiative (that aligns 

members with non-profits), Hall has partnered with Wise Tribe. 

He is on their advisory board and is planning a Wise Tribe fundraiser 

this October. 

Though Hall runs swiftly under the radar most of the time, his 

good deeds and affable persona are apparent to those around him. 

“Shaun is one of the leading voices in Delray. He gives accurate information 

in the Delray Forum and lets everyone have a voice. He is 

very giving of his time and resources,” said Mark Burns, COO of Blue 

Ivy Communications. 

Hall is also known for his compassion and people skills. His intrinsic 

understanding of people has made him a sage of the human 

spirit. When he met wife Lindsay at the Bull Bar in Delray, he knew 

it was not a chance encounter. “Lindsay is the best thing that’s ever 

happened to me. To know me and not her is a disadvantage, because 

she is the best part of me.” 

Hall’s humility is quite admirable, but his ability to bring people 

together for the highest good is inspirational. 

Crane would agree. “Shaun would offer you the shirt off his back 

and, at a core level, he wants to make the world a better place. He 

greets people with a twinkle in his eye and an open mind - enthusiastic 

and ready to make the next dream become a reality.”

Lunchtime!!! 

The kiddos are headed back to school and caregivers will undoubtably 

be packing lunches, backpacks, and sending them off to learn. 

Here are some easy, healthy, packable lunch ideas that will get an A+, 

and make them the envy of the cafeteria. 

Fruity Peanut 

Butter Pitas 

ingredients 

1/4 cup peanut butter 

1/8 teaspoon each ground allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg 

2 whole wheat pita pocket halves 

1/2 medium apple, thinly sliced 

1/2 medium firm banana, sliced 

directions 

In a small bowl, blend the peanut 

butter, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. 

Spread inside pita bread halves; 

fill with apple and banana slices. 

Spinach and 

Turkey Pinwheels 

ingredients 

1 carton (8 oz) spreadable garden vegetable cream cheese 

8 flour tortillas (8 inches) 

4 cups fresh baby spinach 

1 pound sliced deli turkey 

directions 

Spread cream cheese over tortillas. Layer with 

spinach and turkey. Roll up tightly; if not serving immediately, 

cover and refrigerate. To serve, cut rolls 

crosswise into 1-in. slices. 


dining | RECIPEs 

PBJ on a Stick 

ingredients 

2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 

1 cup seedless red or green grapes 

1 small banana, sliced 

4 wooden skewers (4-6 inches) 

directions 

Cut sandwiches into 1-in. squares. 

Alternately thread grapes, sandwich 

squares and banana slices onto each 

skewer. Serve immediately. 

Cheesy Quesadillas 

Pinwheels 

Lunch Box 

Pizzas 

ingredients 

4 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed 

1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend 

1/2 cup salsa 

directions 

Place the tortillas on a greased baking sheet. Combine the 

cheese and salsa; spread over half of each tortilla. Fold over. 

Broil 4 in. from the heat for 3 minutes on each side or until 

golden brown. Cut into wedges. 

ingredients 

1 tube (7-1/2 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10 biscuits) 

1/4 cup tomato sauce 

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 

10 slices pepperoni 

3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 

directions 

Flatten each biscuit into a 3-in. circle and press into a 

greased muffin cup. Combine the tomato sauce and Italian 

seasoning; spoon 1 teaspoonful into each cup. Top each 

with a slice of pepperoni and about 1 tablespoon of cheese. 

Bake at 425° until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Serve 

immediately or store in the refrigerator. 


Bento box lunches are a great idea for kids that don’t like their food “touching!” 

These special lunch boxes are available everywhere (Amazon, Walmart, Target) 

and make packing all kinds of lunches so much easier! 

Vegetable Sushi or Onigiri 

Using leftover rice and cooked fish from a previous meal, 

packing sushi for the family can be as easy as making 

sandwiches — especially if the kids feel like helping. 

ingredients 

4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon 

3 cups cooked short-grain rice, hot (See how) 

2 tablespoonstoasted black sesame seeds 

1/4 teaspoon salt or less, if needed 

1 sheet toasted nori, cut in 4 strips 

directions 

1. Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or nonstick 

pan over medium-high heat. Lay the salmon 

slices in the pan and cook until opaque and lightly 

browned, 15 to 30 seconds per side. Flake fish 

with a fork and mix with the rice and sesame 

seeds. Taste the mixture and add salt if needed. 

2. Place a bowl of water nearby and use it moisten 

your hands frequently while forming the onigiri, 

so the rice doesn’t stick to them. Place one 

quarter of the rice mixture (about 3/4 cup) 

in your hands and squeeze together firmly. 

Rotate and squeeze until it forms a circular 

cake that holds together securely. Wrap 

a strip of nori around the middle. Repeat 

with remaining rice mixture. 

3. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic 

wrap to eat later. Most people recommend 

not refrigerating onigiri because it 

ruins the texture of the rice, but I find a 

30-second warming in the microwave 

revives a refrigerated onigiri just fine. 

• Pack with: Sushi condiments, 

edamame, raspberries, 

snickerdoodle cookie. 

Hummus and Pita Plate 

ingredients 

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (do not drain), or about 

2 cups drained, cooked chickpeas 

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 

3 tablespoons tahini 

1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 

(from 1/2 lemon), plus more as needed 

1 small clove garlic, coarsely chopped 

1 teaspoon salt 

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

directions 

1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Drain 

the chickpeas into a strainer, reserving 

the liquid from the can. If time and patience 

allow, pinch the skins from each 

of the chickpeas; this will make your 

hummus smoother. 

2. Combine all ingredients in the food 

processor. Combine the chickpeas, olive 

oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and 

pepper in the bowl of the food processor 

fitted with the blade attachment or blender. 

3. Blend hummus until smooth, at least 5 

minutes. Process the hummus continuously 

until it becomes very smooth, about 5 minutes. 

Scrape down the sides of the bowl as 

needed to integrate any large chunks. 

4. Taste and adjust seasonings. Taste and 

add more of any of the ingredients to taste. 

If your hummus is stiffer than you’d like, 

blend 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved 

chickpea liquid to thin it out and make the 

hummus creamier. 

5. Transfer to a bowl and serve. Scrape the 

hummus into a bowl and serve with pita 

chips or raw vegetables. 

RECIPE NOTES 

• Pack with: Salami, olives, carrots, baby 

tomatoes, and grapes. (Note that dipping is 

easier and less messy if you pack the hummus 

in a separate container.)

misc | ask the petxpert 

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

Are Treats Good For My Pet? 

We all love our pets and want to treat them special. Part of 

that special process is finding the proper treats for your 

pet. We see all the flashy advertising and packaging that 

is part of our selection process. Our hope is no matter which treat 

we select; the goal is for your pet to like them? 

Let’s take a look at what the pet treats consist of. Are they really 

something beneficial or are they just snacks? Why do our pets prefer 

these treats over their food? 

Our pets, like ourselves are trying to satisfy a need by using foods 

to balance their body’s needs. The body is always searching to balance 

nutritional needs that are dynamic and always changing. This 

means like us, pets need a variety of different foods with varying 

nutritional profiles. When we give them a treat, they are reacting to 

those nutritional needs. It also demonstrates the deficiency in that 

bowl of food that is always present. They are not finicky or have 

sensitive stomachs, they know what they need instinctively. 

We must be cautious because many of the commercial treats are 

not designed for their nutritional value but for the profit they generate. 

Let’s face it, in nature, all foods are a treat. Just having a meal 

is the treat. Wild canines and felines like wolves and panthers often 

hunt specific prey to provide that nutritional need. 

Most conventional pet treats are filled with addictive, inappropriate 

ingredients but the treat is still a change from that boring 

inappropriate commercial food that many pets are still being fed. 

In addition, to the already inappropriate ingredients in their main 

diet, these treats add to a plethora of synthetic chemical flavors 

and preservatives to make the product another convenience for 

the pet parent. As a result, most commercial treats contribute to an 

unhealthy condition. Most are carbohydrate based such as cookies 

with a meat flavor that contribute heavily to challenges like obesity, 

gum and dental problems and even diabetes. Many of these products 

are created with specific addictive compounds to overindulge 

the appetite and ensure repeat sales. 

Our word on treats is that they can be used as nutritional supplements 

and also as rewards in training and behavioral conditions. In order 

to provide this, they must be species specific with the goal of having 

healthier pets. For dogs and cats, that means animal based products 

like meat, poultry, fish, seafood and even eggs. While most of us will 

not fill our treat pouch with fresh meats, technology has brought us 

dehydration. We can slow-bake these foods and make a plethora of nutritious 

treats and snacks that are easy for pet parents to handle. 

For instance, when you have a pet that has a heart or liver issue... 

in Eastern medicine you treat the like with the like. For example, 

my pet with liver issues will benefit with more liver in their diet. 

Many do not want to handle raw liver and its’ possible side effects 

of loose stool. The dehydrated liver will have the same benefits. The 

reason behind this is the nutritional profile of the food is exactly 

what the body needs to heal that part. 

High quality species appropriate treats and snacks are an excellent 

addition to any dietary plan that you may have for your pets. 

Yes, we believe everyone should “treat” their pets like royalty and 

our goal is to teach you how to do it.

HAZEL 

schwAYze 

A NO-KILL animal shelter. 

Open Tues - Sun 

11 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. 

I’m HUNTER and I’d love to meet you! I was 

surrendered to the shelter by my owners who 

thought I need a younger, more energetic family. 

Yes, I love to play and have fun! I’m a 3 year-old 

Cavalier King Charles and I’m the sweetest, 

softest, most cuddly boy. Let’s cruise into 

August with play sessions and naps! 

I’m HAZEL, named for my incredible hazel eyes. 

Look into them and you’ll know you need me as 

much as I need you! I’m 11 months old and I’ve 

been here at the shelter since last September…. 

don’t let me reach one year here! I’m an active, 

playful girl who’ll make you laugh and make 

your home more cozy as I curl up with you. I 

Sadly, I recently found myself homeless, but 

I’m a smart guy so I wandered onto TriCounty 

Humane’s property where they fell in love with 

me (of course) and vowed to find me a forever 

home. I’m a young, energetic, happy, Terrier-mix 

boy. I’d enjoy a fenced yard to run in and most 

of all, a real person or family to love. 

All animals are up-to-date 

on vaccinations and 

heartworm tested. 

Adoption fees $110 and up.

Ways 

To Find 

A Date 

Being single is tough, and the 

bar scene can be exhausting. If 

you’re trying to meet a fun person 

for more than just a hook-up, try 

looking further than your local 

bar. Here are some strategies for 

meeting someone who might just 

be excellent relationship material. 

Let your friends know you’re looking 

Usually, the people you hang out with will attract other people you 

want to hang out with. That’s why meeting through friends is a great 

way to find a successful relationship. 

Married people and those in long-term relationships love to set people 

up. Discreetly let married friends know you’re looking, and you 

may just find yourself surrounded by interesting singles. 

Attend weddings 

Do you skip weddings because the celebration of someone else’s love 

makes you sad that you’re single? That is the wrong approach. 

Weddings are terrific places to meet other single people. Reply that 

you’ll be coming without a plus one, and then get ready to take on opportunities 

that present themselves. If you can, find out in advance who in the 

wedding party is single. 

Go someplace with a kid 

Admittedly, this works better for finding women than it does for 

meeting men. However, there are many single people of both genders 

with children. If you don’t have a kid of your own, ask to 

borrow a niece or nephew or a friend’s child for the afternoon, 

and head to places where kids and parents congregate. 

Encourage the child to play with kids whose parents look 

interesting to you, and keep an eye out for wedding rings. Kids 

are great conversation starters, so meeting should be a breeze. 


Take a class in something interesting 

Once you’ve finished school, you’ve lost a good source of single 

people. Take yourself back to the classroom by enrolling in 

something you enjoy. 

Even if it’s community adult education, you’ll meet people 

and learn something new. 

For even more opportunities, volunteer to teach a class about 

something you know. Specify that the course is for singles, and 

you’ll be in a perfect position. 

Go to church 

If you have spiritual beliefs that are important to you, or if you 

are interested in developing some, take yourself to a local religious 

location. A church, temple or another place of worship can 

be an excellent way to build a social circle and meet new people. 

Play a sport 

Your local community center or YMCA can direct you to 

sports leagues just for grown-ups. There may even be some 

specifically for singles. 

It’s okay if you’re not athletic. Choose something that sounds 

like fun, and do your best. 

Volunteer for a political campaign 

Are you passionate about politics? Try signing yourself up 

to work for a local political campaign. You’ll get thrown into a 

team of people who probably look at the world the way you do. 

Working closely with someone to achieve a common goal is a 

good way to start a relationship. 

Buy someone a coffee 

Going out for a morning coffee is a ritual that many people 

will not miss. Hang out at a local coffee shop, and check out the 

clientele. Offer to buy a coffee for someone who interests you. 

If you’re bold, you could even send a coffee to someone who 

is seated. 

Be friendly at the gym 

Maybe it’s an increase in heart rates or seeing people dressed 

in workout gear, but whatever the reason, the gym is a great 

place to find a date. 

The next time you’re working out, take out your headphones 

and look up from the treadmill. Make eye contact, smile and 

start conversations. 

Go places alone 

It’s fun to go out with a group of friends, but you might be 

making your dating life more challenging. You are much more 

approachable if you go places alone. 

See a movie by yourself now and then, or spend solo time at 

library or museum. You might just attract your soul mate. 

Meeting single people isn’t easy, but there’s a lot you can do to 

increase your chances of finding someone incredible. Try these 

10 tips, and maybe you’ll meet that person of your dreams.
