from the<br />

editor<br />

Hello<br />

MAY!<br />

In <strong>May</strong> we celebrate Mom! It’s very easy to make<br />

Mom feel special in Delray. With so many wonderful<br />

restaurants to choose from, satisfying any food or<br />

craving she may have will be easy. There are also<br />

amazing salons and spas to pamper her. Inside this issue<br />

we have included special recipes that are sure to make<br />

Mom feel loved. Check out Delray Under $50, and our<br />

Mother’s Day pages for some suggestions on spoiling Mom!<br />

This month we dine at Il Contadino, sampling traditional<br />

Italian recipes and enjoying every last bite! Chef Michel<br />

only uses the freshest ingredients and will customize any<br />

entrée to your liking. A hidden gem in Pineapple Grove<br />

with a wine list that will impress any Sommelier. Every dish<br />

is a work of art - a feast for your eyes and your tummy!<br />

Lieutenant Gary Ferreri from the Delray Beach Police<br />

Department is our City Person this month. Feeling safe<br />

at night is easy knowing that Lt. Ferreri is in charge as<br />

the Night Time Watch Commander working the difficult<br />

overnight hours from 5pm to 5am! But incredibly so, even<br />

while working those hours, Lt. Ferreri still finds time to<br />

be a mentor, bring ice cream trucks to neighborhoods, and<br />

even dress up as Santa to bring joy to our community.<br />

We end this month honoring our fallen Heroes.<br />

Monday, <strong>May</strong> 30th is Memorial Day. Take a moment out<br />

of celebrations, barbecues, and beach time to remember<br />

the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice. And<br />

let’s also take a moment and pray for the brave people of<br />

Ukraine, fighting fiercely every day to stay alive. Let us<br />

never take for granted our freedom that many willingly<br />

protected till their last breath.<br />

Love, Yvette<br />

Our flag does<br />

not fly because<br />

of the wind<br />

moving it. It flies<br />

with the last<br />

breath of each<br />

soldier who died<br />

protecting it.<br />

Delray Beach Public Library<br />

with Delray Beach Housing<br />

Authority Distribute<br />

GrandPads to Seniors<br />

The Delray Beach Public Library has partnered with the Delray<br />

Beach Housing Authority to distribute 54 GrandPad<br />

tablets to seniors at Lake Delray Apartments.<br />

A GrandPad is a computer tablet designed especially for seniors<br />

75 and over who have little to no experience with technology.<br />

The Internet is built right in and users have easy access<br />

to video chat with doctors, friends, and family, as well as many<br />

options for entertainment like games, music, local radio stations,<br />

news articles, and so much more. The average GrandPad<br />

user is 82 years old.<br />

The Delray Beach Public Library received a $100,000 grant<br />

from the American Rescue Plan for the GranPads and for updating<br />

computers so patrons when attending a computer class<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

would have a better learning experience.<br />

According to Shirley Erazo, President/CEO of Delray Beach<br />

Housing Authority, “These tablets are designed with seniors in<br />

mind so they can connect with loved ones without the complicated<br />

features of other tablets. This simple tablet is perfect<br />

for seniors who are ready to start video chatting and sharing<br />

memories with family and friends around the world.”<br />

Phyllis Martin, one of the recipients of the GrandPad states,<br />

“I haven’t seen my grandson in person and this device lets me<br />

laugh and talk with him. I have become more comfortable with<br />

the technology and I want to thank the library and hope we can<br />

continue to use them.”<br />

“Seniors can easily view family photos and videos, play<br />

games, see weather for each family member, listen to music,<br />

check emails, make phone calls, place a video chat, and much<br />

more,” says Ms. Ronald. “Unfortunately, the grant expires on<br />

September 30 and we need to set up a fundraising program<br />

to help seniors pay for continued access.”<br />

Arts Garage Brings Back<br />

Live Theatre<br />

At a time when economic distress, racial stigmas, and gender<br />

confusion continue to challenge the nation, Marjorie<br />

Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage, is proud to announce<br />

two upcoming productions—raw, revealing, empowering—<br />

that are bringing live theater back to Pineapple Grove.<br />

Ferocious Love - Friday <strong>May</strong> 6, at 8pm<br />

Performance poet Mo<br />

Beasley is bringing his “urban<br />

male’s coming of age<br />

story” to Arts Garage. This<br />

“spoken word theatre” experience<br />

puts a whole new<br />

spin on “growing up” in<br />

public housing during the<br />

late 1980s. Ferocious Love<br />

is a thought-provoking<br />

show covering issues of class, dysfunctional families, and<br />

how the ferocity of a mother’s love figures greatly in this journey<br />

for manhood in post-Civil Rights/Black Power America.<br />

Content Warning: <strong>May</strong> contain strong language. Tickets: $35<br />

Naming True - Sunday <strong>May</strong> 15, at 7:30 pm<br />

In this play reading of an<br />

“intimate tale of survival,<br />

redemption, and the deep<br />

desire to share our stories,”<br />

playwright/director Natalie<br />

Symons’ Naming True<br />

shares the shattering narratives<br />

of two damaged outsiders:<br />

Amy (played by June<br />

Raven Romero), a transgender<br />

teenage girl who shows up unannounced in the Florida<br />

hotel room of Nell (Kalina Karadavis), a dying woman who’s<br />

lived much of her life on the streets of Detroit. The play explores<br />

faith, identity, forgiveness, and the indelible fingerprints<br />

that guilt and loss leave on lives. The Observer called the play<br />

“gutsy” and praised its “flashes of rude hilarity.” Tickets: $25<br />

Tickets are available by calling the Arts Garage at<br />

561.450.6357 or by going online to www.ArtsGarage.org.<br />

Written by Jess Wellar<br />

Photography by Madga Hernandez<br />

Now Broker-Owner of Realty<br />

Home Advisors, with two offices<br />

and roughly 200 agents under<br />

her leadership in Boca Raton and<br />

Delray Beach, it turns out Eileen’s hunch was<br />

right.<br />

NY: The Early Years<br />

Eileen grew up in Long Island and graduated<br />

from the New York Institute of Technology<br />

with a degree in business administration.<br />

Fresh out of college she worked for an entertainment<br />

company in Manhattan but quickly<br />

grew frustrated by the limited opportunities<br />

for advancement.<br />

Craving a career with greater flexibility and<br />

limitless potential, Eileen also knew she<br />

wanted to raise a family and help others<br />

succeed. Real estate provided the opportunity<br />

to have it all.<br />

Eileen recalls, “I signed up for a real estate<br />

salesperson’s course that same week that I<br />

bought my fourth house and joined Prudential<br />

Long Island Realty (now Douglas Elliman)<br />

after passing the test,” Eileen continues,<br />

“I loved that I could be an entrepreneur and<br />

be in charge of my own destiny. My first year<br />

in the business, 1986, I was “Rookie of the<br />

Year” with 38 closed transactions. Subsequently,<br />

I was also Top Producer of the year.”<br />

The Florida Move<br />

“In 2002, my husband and I moved to Boca<br />

Raton with three young children in tow,” Eileen<br />

continues. “I always stayed active in sales<br />

but my most cherished prize are my three<br />

children, all grown up now.”<br />

Eileen opened Realty Home Advisors in<br />

Boca Raton in 2017 and credits her daily<br />

presence in the office as one of the primary<br />

reasons agents love working at RHA.<br />

“As an owner, I wake up every day feeling<br />

gratitude that I can be there to help my<br />

agents and be their biggest cheerleader. I am<br />

very hands on for a broker and I think the<br />

agents appreciate that personal touch, the<br />

one-onone. I am always there for them 24/7.”<br />

Eileen notes Realty Home Advisors also<br />

offers a growing number of learning opportunities<br />

for agents, veterans and rookies alike,<br />

that really help retention and growth. “We<br />

do business planning, coaching, role playing,<br />

consulting, contract guidance and disputes,”<br />

Eileen explains. “Every Wednesday we have<br />

a team call at 9:30 am where I will pick a<br />

different topic to discuss followed by a Q&A<br />

session afterwards.” Last year, Realty Home<br />

Advisors sales volume was $512 million, and<br />

according to Eileen, <strong>2022</strong> seems to be on a<br />

similar pace with families flocking to the east<br />

coast of Florida from the Northeast. Not one<br />

for the spotlight, Eileen is quick to give credit<br />

to her hard-working team for RHA’s success.<br />

Eileen<br />

MCNAMARA VECCHIO<br />

REALTY HOME ADVISORS<br />

Leading with A Personal Touch<br />

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”<br />

“I was always fascinated by the real estate market and bought my first house<br />

when I was 25… I actually owned four houses myself by the time I was 28.”<br />

Eileen McNamara Vecchio recalls. “I rented the houses out… and while looking<br />

for investment property, I remember thinking I could be good at this.”<br />

“I couldn’t do this without my amazing<br />

staff… All the right people are in place<br />

and agents often remark how everything is<br />

running like a welloiled machine. We have six<br />

Personal Business Coordinators that manage<br />

the REALTORS® transactions and every<br />

agent is paid within 24 hours of closing.”<br />

When pressed for details as to why she thinks<br />

her agents stick around, Eileen points out<br />

there’s absolutely no red tape at her brokerage.<br />

Eileen says, “I try to listen to my agents<br />

when they express a need and adjust accordingly.<br />

I know my agents also enjoy the fact<br />

that we are an independent brokerage; we can<br />

be flexible when needed without having to go<br />

through layers of management… I can make<br />

the decision right there on the spot.”<br />

When Eileen isn’t at her desk, she enjoys<br />

traveling, being in nature and spending time<br />

with her family and three kittens, two of<br />

whom she rescued. Eileen plans to eventually<br />

scale back her time in the office to focus on<br />

her family, but she never plans to stop doing<br />

what she loves – helping others succeed.<br />

With a father who is also a real estate broker,<br />

a son who is a practicing real estate attorney,<br />

and a daughter who is a commercial property<br />

manager, Eileen would not be surprised if one<br />

of her children eventually took over RHA.<br />

“When they were growing up, my kids heard<br />

me on the phone talking about real estate all<br />

day long because I was doing sales back then,”<br />

Eileen laughs. “So we shall see… but that would<br />

be wonderful if it all works out some day.”<br />

Eileen looks forward to cheerleading from<br />

her broker desk and offers some sage advice<br />

to owners and agents alike: “It’s always<br />

important to have a business plan and to set<br />

goals, have a great attitude and live every day<br />

with a schedule to achieve those goals.”<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

AS AN OWNER, I WAKE UP<br />

EVERY DAY FEELING GRATITUDE<br />

that I can be there to help my agents<br />

and be their biggest cheerleader.<br />

locals only | delray under $50<br />

By Darien Davies<br />

Delray Under $50<br />

Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels<br />

Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple<br />

Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more<br />

to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings<br />

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can<br />

seem expensive at times, there’s a great<br />

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer<br />

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can<br />

do in Delray Beach in <strong>May</strong> for $50 or less.<br />

A<br />

garden is literally the gift that keeps on giving. Whether<br />

you’re growing flowers, plants, fruits, herbs, vegetables, or<br />

woody ornamentals, with a little sweat equity, the garden<br />

will continue to provide. <strong>May</strong> is Gifts from the Garden Month and<br />

is a perfect time to thank all the local gardeners and farmers who<br />

toil the soil for our endless pleasure.<br />

<strong>May</strong> is the last month of the<br />

Delray Beach Winter Green-<br />

Market so make sure to head<br />

downtown to enjoy the last<br />

of the season’s goods. The<br />

Winter GreenMarket features<br />

more than 65 premier food vendors<br />

featuring farm-to-fork produce,<br />

just picked citrus, tropical<br />

fruit and juice, farm fresh eggs, raw<br />

milk and butter, artisan cheese and<br />

jams, fragrant baked goods, plenty of<br />

gluten-free, vegan, and organic products,<br />

fresh cut flowers, plants and other<br />

unique gourmet fare, along with live<br />

musical entertainment, every Saturday<br />

from 9am to 2pm. Not only is the Winter<br />

GreenMarket an amazing one-stop-shop<br />

to get all the delicious food you’ll<br />

need for the week, but it’s a great<br />

24 | <strong>May</strong> <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

opportunity to people watch, get some sun, enjoy some puppy pets,<br />

and spend time with a few hundred of your local neighbors. The<br />

Winter GreenMarket is held at Old School Square Park, 51 N. Swinton<br />

<strong>Ave</strong>, and the last Winter GreenMarket is Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 21. Visit<br />

www.delraycra.org or call (561) 276-8640 for more information.<br />

Wait, how it is <strong>May</strong>?<br />

Wasn’t it just the New<br />

Year last week? When<br />

the daily grind gets in the way of<br />

the daily stopping-and-smellingof-the-roses,<br />

it’s time to take a seat,<br />

enjoy a sigh, and revel in the scenery.<br />

<strong>May</strong> is National Mental Health Month<br />

and a healthy reminder to be kind to<br />

your brain and body. Everyone needs a<br />

break once in a while, and it’s okay to want<br />

it, need it and get it! To push you in the right<br />

direction, the good people at Old School Square<br />

are hosting Free Concerts at Old School Square<br />

Pavilion. All guests are invited to bring their own<br />

chairs and blankets, grab a seat on the lawn, and enjoy<br />

live music in the comfort of the great outdoors. Saturday,<br />

<strong>May</strong> 14 features The Groove 2.0 (funk band) and<br />

Saturday, Mya 21 features Fleetwood Max (Fleetwood<br />

Mac tribute band). Drinks are available for purchase,<br />

and you’re invited to order food for pick-up or delivery<br />

from any of the downtown’s eateries.<br />

Doors open at 6:30pm and the concerts<br />

are held from 7:30 to 10pm.<br />

The Old School Square Pavilion<br />

is located at 51 N. Swinton <strong>Ave</strong>.<br />

Sure, it’s easy to just plop down on the sofa and watch TV<br />

as a family, but wouldn’t it be more fun to break the mold<br />

and do something a little different? (The answer is yes.)<br />

<strong>May</strong> is Family Wellness Month and what better time than now<br />

to get the family unit back together before the height of summer<br />

is upon us and everyone disperses for summer school, travel,<br />

camp, etc. If you need a bright idea, look no further than Art &<br />

Jazz on the <strong>Ave</strong>nue. Held Wednesday, <strong>May</strong> 25 from 6 to 9pm in<br />

the SOFA Neighborhood (Southeast Third <strong>Ave</strong>nue from East <strong>Atlantic</strong><br />

<strong>Ave</strong>nue to Southeast Second Street), this free event highlights<br />

local businesses and artists, and features live music for all<br />

to enjoy. The street will be closed, the shops will be open, and<br />

it’s the perfect event for spending time together enjoying all that<br />

our downtown has to offer. The Downtown Development Authority,<br />

in partnership with the Downtown Merchant and Business<br />

Association, is hosting the event and invites you and yours<br />

to stroll the SOFA neighborhood and experience live music, art,<br />

culture, and special promotions by retailers and merchants. Visit<br />

www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077 for<br />

more information and the musical lineup.<br />

If you’re looking for a break from the beach and BBQs this<br />

Memorial Day Weekend, head instead to where the crafters<br />

and makers are sharing their makings. You’re guaranteed to<br />

enjoy something new, something creative, and something that<br />

could be the beginning of a beautiful appreciation for a new part<br />

of your art collection. <strong>May</strong> is Creative Beginnings Month and is<br />

also home to the 24th Annual Downtown Delray Beach Memorial<br />

Day Weekend Craft Festival. Held at the Delray Beach Tennis<br />

Center, this Festival features paintings, jewelry, glass work, pottery,<br />

and much more from some of the nation’s finest crafters.<br />

Not only will you be privy to all of the handmade gifts from vendors<br />

who find beauty in creative beginnings, you’ll also be able<br />

to enjoy a green market-style section of the festival, complete<br />

with gourmet sauces, handmade soaps, live orchids, and more.<br />

The free Festival is held Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 28 and Sunday, <strong>May</strong> 29<br />

from 10am to 5pm. So craft your new beginning this month and<br />

see where the rest of the year takes you! The Delray Beach Tennis<br />

Center is located at 201 W <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>. Visit www.artfestival.com<br />

or call (561) 746-6615 for more information.<br />

Burgers. Name a more perfect and versatile sandwich. I’ll<br />

wait. Nothing beats a chargrilled burger, a smash burger,<br />

or a double patty smothered in cheese where you can<br />

only dive in face first. <strong>May</strong> is National Hamburger Month and<br />

while Memorial Day might be the perfect day to indulge, the<br />

burger deserves respect the rest of the month, too. If you prefer<br />

to don a napkin bib instead of an apron, start your burger feast<br />

at The Office and sink your teeth into their CEO Burger, made<br />

with 100% all-natural beef, tomato jam, bacon, gruyere, blue<br />

cheese, arugula, and Office sauce for $21. For an elevated take<br />

on the burger, Cut 432 is proud to serve you their cheeseburger,<br />

made with Jackman Ranch wagyu, aged Vermont cheddar, and<br />

hand-cut fries for $25. If you’re looking for a planet-friendly option,<br />

head to Death or Glory and revel in their California Veggie<br />

Burger, topped with LTOP and avocado mayo, and served on<br />

a potato bun for $15. Whatever the burger version you fancy,<br />

the <strong>Ave</strong> is sure to deliver (literally and figuratively). Visit www.<br />

downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077 for specific<br />

restaurant information and details.<br />

<strong>May</strong> 6<br />

► Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – In Marvel<br />

Studios’ “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” the MCU<br />

unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its boundaries further than<br />

ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who,<br />

with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the<br />

mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse<br />

to confront a mysterious new adversary. Benedict Cumberbatch<br />

returns as Doctor Strange, along with Benedict Wong, Rachel<br />

McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, and Xochitl Gomez.<br />

► Happening (Theaters) - France, 1963. Anne is a bright student<br />

with a promising future ahead of her. But when she falls pregnant,<br />

the opportunity to finish her studies and escape the constraints of<br />

her social background is disappearing. With her final exams fast<br />

approaching and her belly growing, Anne resolves to act now, even<br />

if she must confront shame and pain, even if she must risk prison<br />

to do so… “Happening,” also known as L’événement in French, is<br />

directed by French writer/filmmaker Audrey Diwan.<br />

(Teresa Palmer) and husband Anthony (Steven Cree) relocate to<br />

the other side of the world with their surviving son in the hopes<br />

of building a new life. What begins as a time of healing out in the<br />

quiet Scandinavian countryside soon takes an ominous turn when<br />

Rachel begins to unravel the torturous truth about her son and<br />

confronts the malicious forces attempting to take a hold of him.<br />

<strong>May</strong> 13<br />

► Firestarter (Theaters + Peacock) - For over a decade, parents<br />

Andy (Zac Efron) and Vicky (Sydney Lemmon) have been on<br />

the run, desperate to hide their daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera<br />

Armstrong) from a shadowy government agency that wants to<br />

harness her unprecedented gift for creating fire into a weapon of<br />

mass destruction. Andy has taught Charlie how to defuse her power,<br />

which is triggered by anger or pain. But as Charlie turns 11, the fire<br />

becomes harder and harder to control. After an incident reveals<br />

the family’s location, a mysterious operative (Michael Greyeyes) is<br />

deployed to hunt down the family and seize Charlie once and for all.<br />

Charlie has other plans.<br />

gang, they are drawn into a chain of vengeance where morality is<br />

ambiguous, and survival is the only priority. The thriller stars Ali<br />

Larter, Ron Perlman, Ralph Ineson, Kyle Schmid, Tahmoh Penikett,<br />

and Tom Stevens.<br />

<strong>May</strong> 20<br />

► Downton Abbey: A New Era – “A New Era” is a continuation of<br />

the big screen cinematic “Downton Abbey” story, with the first film<br />

opening back in 2019 following the TV series. This new film will see<br />

the Crawley family and Downton staff receiving a royal visit from<br />

the King and Queen of Great Britain, but that’s not it. There’s also<br />

the buzz of a “motion picture” filming on the Estate, plus a visit to a<br />

mysterious villa in the South of France connected to Violet Crawley.<br />

What is going on with this villa? The ensemble cast features all the<br />

regulars returning: Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Maggie<br />

Smith, Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, and Phyllis<br />

Logan; joined by Hugh Dancy, Nathalie Baye, Laura Haddock, and<br />

Dominic West.<br />

► Hold Your Fire (Theaters + VOD) - In 1973, Shu’aib Raheem,<br />

age 23, led a group of four young Black Muslims trying to rob<br />

guns from a sporting goods store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They<br />

were seeking weapons to protect their families from threats of<br />

violence. “In retrospect, it was a fool’s idea,” says Raheem. The<br />

bungled robbery triggered a response of deadly force by police<br />

and the longest hostage siege in NYPD history. Since then, key facts<br />

of the story have been misunderstood even by people who were<br />

involved. Filmmaker Stefan Forbes works with a multicultural team<br />

(including Consulting Producer Sam Pollard) to reconstruct what<br />

took place through the Rashomon-like perspectives of the robbers,<br />

hostages, and police.<br />

<strong>May</strong> 27<br />

► The Bob’s Burgers Movie – “The Bob’s Burgers Movie” is an<br />

animated, big-screen, musical comedy-mystery-adventure based<br />

on the long-running Emmy-winning series. The story begins when<br />

a ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front<br />

of Bob’s Burgers, blocking the entrance indefinitely and ruining<br />

the Belchers’ plans for a successful summer. While Bob and Linda<br />

struggle to keep the business afloat, the kids try to solve a mystery<br />

that could save their family’s restaurant. As the dangers mount,<br />

these underdogs help each other find hope and fight to get back<br />

behind the counter, where they belong.<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

► Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Disney+) - Chip and Dale are<br />

living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles,<br />

but their lives are quite different now. It has been decades since<br />

their successful television series was canceled, and Chip (voice of<br />

Mulaney) has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an<br />

insurance salesman. Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had<br />

CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate<br />

to relive his glory days. When a former cast mate mysteriously<br />

disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and<br />

take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save<br />

their friend’s life.<br />

► Top Gun: Maverick - Facing an uncertain future and confronting<br />

the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with<br />

his own deepest fears, culminating in a specialized mission that<br />

demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly<br />

it. Tom Cruise plays Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, and Val Kilmer is also<br />

back; with a full cast including Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon<br />

Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, and Ed Harris.<br />

SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR<br />

Representing two innocent by-standers<br />

of the Sexual Revolution of the 1960’s,<br />

George (a New Jersey accountant)<br />

and Doris (an Oakland housewife) –<br />

two married people with six children<br />

between them – meet at an inn in<br />

Northern California in 1951 and have<br />

an affair. They form an immediate and<br />

profound attachment to each other, but<br />

since neither wants to jeopardize their<br />

marriages, they agree to meet only once<br />

Book Lovers<br />

by Emily Henry<br />

Released <strong>May</strong> 3rd<br />

An insightful, delightful new novel from<br />

the #1 New York Times bestselling author<br />

of Beach Read and People We Meet on<br />

Vacation.<br />

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist<br />

they didn’t see coming...<br />

Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s<br />

read them all—and she is not that type<br />

of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the<br />

laidback dream girl, and especially not<br />

the sweetheart. In fact, the only people<br />

Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for<br />

whom she lands enormous deals as a<br />

cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved<br />

little sister Libby.<br />

Which is why she agrees to go to<br />

Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the<br />

month of August when Libby begs her for<br />

a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small<br />

town transformation for Nora, who she’s<br />

convinced needs to become the heroine<br />

in her own story. But instead of picnics<br />

in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome<br />

country doctor or bulging-forearmed<br />

bartender, Nora keeps bumping into<br />

Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor<br />

from back in the city. It would be a meetcute<br />

if not for the fact that they’ve met<br />

many times and it’s never been cute.<br />

If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine,<br />

Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as<br />

they are thrown together again and again—<br />

in a series of coincidences no editor worth<br />

their salt would allow—what they discover<br />

might just unravel the carefully crafted<br />

stories they’ve written about themselves.<br />

career. Through their unlikely friendship,<br />

Craig’s life demonstrated the love of Christ<br />

in a way that shattered Walker’s misconceptions<br />

of Christianity, ultimately leading<br />

him down the path to a dramatic conversion.<br />

The two are now close as brothers,<br />

choosing to be next-door neighbors and<br />

ripped out the fence between their homes<br />

as a testament to the power of the gospel to<br />

break down barriers and unite people together<br />

in Christ. Glad You’re Here helps us<br />

discover how building relationships, sacrificing<br />

for the good of others, and drawing<br />

near in times of need can lead to powerful<br />

transformation. Through story and biblical<br />

reflections, Glad You’re Here helps readers<br />

see how God works in the everyday lives of<br />

those who love him.<br />

My Wife Is Missing<br />

by D.J. Palmer<br />

Released <strong>May</strong> 10th<br />

family vacation turns into a nightmare<br />

A for Michael Hart when he discovers his<br />

wife and two children have disappeared<br />

from their New York City hotel room. Horrified,<br />

he fears they’ve been kidnapped.<br />

Michael’s frantic search to find them takes<br />

a shocking turn when he discovers that<br />

his wife, Natalie, appears to have left quite<br />

willingly, taking their children with her.<br />

The police want to know why, and so does<br />

Michael. But there may be a reason why<br />

Natalie ran, something Michael can’t tell<br />

the police—the truth about his past.<br />

While untangling his deceptions might<br />

be the key to locating Natalie, Michael<br />

knows it could also be his undoing. To<br />

find his wife, he must now turn to the one<br />

person capable of exposing all that he’s<br />

been hiding. Natalie thinks she has Michael<br />

all figured out and has hatched a plan to<br />

escape from him permanently. One detail,<br />

though, threatens to derail her efforts:<br />

sleep—or more accurately, the lack of it.<br />

Since the moment the shocking revelations<br />

about her husband came to light, Natalie’s<br />

insomnia has worsened to the point that<br />

she now suffers from delusions.<br />

Are her fears about Michael valid—or<br />

a symptom of her condition? With her<br />

children’s lives at risk, the stakes for<br />

Natalie could not be higher. On her own,<br />

running low on energy and resources,<br />

avoiding increasingly close calls with<br />

Michael—who is on the hunt and closing<br />

in fast—Natalie needs someone to turn to<br />

for help. But who can she trust when she<br />

can’t even trust herself?<br />

This Time Tomorrow<br />

by Emma Straub<br />

Released <strong>May</strong> 17th<br />

What if you could take a vacation to<br />

your past?<br />

With her celebrated humor, insight, and<br />

heart, beloved New York Times bestseller<br />

Emma Straub offers her own twist on<br />

traditional time travel tropes, and a<br />

different kind of love story.


On the eve of her 40th birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible.<br />

She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected.<br />

She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, her<br />

independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But<br />

her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is<br />

missing. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds<br />

herself back in 1996, reliving her 16th birthday. But it isn’t<br />

just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high<br />

school crush, it’s her dad: the vital, charming, 40-something<br />

version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed<br />

with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past<br />

events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she<br />

would change if she could?<br />

Two Nights in Lisbon<br />

by Chris Pavone<br />

Released <strong>May</strong> 24th<br />

Ariel Pryce wakes up in Lisbon, alone. Her husband is<br />

gone—no warning, no note, not answering his phone.<br />

Something is wrong.<br />

She starts with hotel security, then the police, then the<br />

American embassy, at each confronting questions she can’t<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

fully answer: What exactly is John doing in Lisbon? Why<br />

would he drag her along on his business trip? Who would<br />

want to harm him? And why does Ariel know so little about<br />

her new—much younger—husband?<br />

The clock is ticking. Ariel is increasingly frustrated and<br />

desperate, running out of time, and the one person in the<br />

world who can help is the one person she least wants to ask.<br />

With sparkling prose and razor-sharp insights, bestselling<br />

author Chris Pavone delivers a stunning and sophisticated<br />

international thriller that will linger long after the surprising<br />

final page.<br />

health & beauty | pain relief<br />

By dr. john conde<br />

Evidence-Based Therapy with<br />

High Success Rates for Neuropathy<br />

Painful burning, tingling, and numbness are<br />

words typically used to describe the sensation<br />

experienced by individual suffering with neuropathy.<br />

Neuropathy is a broad, generalized term that denotes damage<br />

or disruption to nerves that carry vital information either<br />

for movement, sensation, or vasculature and organ regulation.<br />

Neuropathy can be classified by its distribution and is broken<br />

down into two major categories; polyneuropathy and mono or focal<br />

neuropathy. Polyneuropathy simply means that multiple areas<br />

are affected simultaneously and mono or focal neuropathy refers to<br />

one region being affected. The most common type of neuropathy is<br />

peripheral neuropathy which is a type of polyneuropathy. Peripheral<br />

neuropathy is characterized by burning, tingling, numbness,<br />

sharp pain, loss of feeling, extreme sensitivity to touch, and lack of<br />

coordination.<br />

There are several causes of peripheral neuropathy. Some of<br />

these include genetic contributions, diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency,<br />

post-herpetic neuralgia (shingles), infection, alcoholic neuropathy,<br />

drugs, injury to nerves, toxins, uremia (kidney failure),<br />

post-chemotherapy treatment, and idiopathic (spontaneous occurrence).<br />

A thorough examination and medical history is necessary<br />

for accurate diagnosis. Quite often blood work, imaging, and nerve<br />

conduction studies are ordered to determine the precise etiology.<br />

A breakthrough study in the journal of gynecologic oncology has<br />

demonstrated a 90% success rate in the treatment of chemotherapy-<br />

induced peripheral neuropathy with the use of photobiomodulation/class<br />

IV laser therapy. They also found significant improvement<br />

of functional recovery after nerve crush injuries and toxin<br />

exposure with class IV laser therapy.<br />

Class IV laser therapy improves neuropathy by preventing neural<br />

apoptosis and enhancing neurite outgrowth. Basically, this means<br />

that it helps prevent nerve cell death and it promotes the production<br />

of more nerve synapses. It also draws water, oxygen, and nutrients<br />

to the damaged area. During class IV laser therapy the infrared<br />

laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolic<br />

activity increases within the cell, improving the transport of nutrients<br />

across the cell membrane. This initiates the production of cellular<br />

energy that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing<br />

cellular function and health.<br />

The most compelling part is that researchers did not note any<br />

complications with this treatment. This is groundbreaking, evidenced-based<br />

medicine that can be applied immediately to help<br />

this ailing population feel and function better.<br />

Buddy Benefits<br />

Lacking some motivation for your workout these days? A gym buddy<br />

just might be the solution to your workout blues! Here are 5 reasons<br />

why getting your sweat on with a friend will improve your health and<br />

give you that motivation you need to get your gym mojo back!<br />

1. Accountability<br />

It’s one thing to bail on your own workout, but it’s much harder to<br />

ditch a workout when you’re going to be letting your workout buddy<br />

down. In addition to this, having a workout partner means you have<br />

to plan your workouts in advance to meet each other’s schedules,<br />

and once it’s scheduled, it’s much more likely that you’re going to<br />

follow through with it. So when you’re feeling lazy and want to ditch<br />

your workout, having the accountability of a buddy will greatly increase<br />

your chances of making that workout happen!<br />

2. Try New Workouts<br />

Sometimes it can be intimidating walking into a new environment…new<br />

workout, new people etc. That’s where your workout<br />

buddy comes into play! Having a friend with you can make the experience<br />

much less intimidating and definitely a lot more fun!<br />

3. Good Ole Support<br />

Because we’re all human, at some point you’ll probably feel like<br />

throwing in the towel for various reasons. However, the support<br />

from your workout partner will most likely be just what you<br />

need to stay on track. A good workout buddy will be there<br />

to listen to your woes and then to tell you to get your<br />

butt back in the gym, just like any good friend would!<br />

The support you will both offer each other will be immeasurable.<br />

4. Buddy Assessments<br />

It’s difficult to view yourself objectively. When it comes<br />

to your fitness progress, you may not notice how your<br />

strength and endurance is improving or that you’ve lost<br />

weight or gained muscle over time. Your workout buddy can<br />

view you more objectively and remind you of your progress so<br />

far. Having that validation can help bolster your self-esteem and<br />

keep your motivation levels high.<br />

5. Step Up yOur Game<br />

Let’s be honest, we as human beings like to compete with one another.<br />

Having a workout buddy who is just a little fitter, just a little<br />

stronger than you are will keep you on your toes and striving for a<br />

little more in your workout. By trying to keep up with them, you’ll<br />

challenge yourself in ways you didn’t think were possible!<br />

FRONT ROW<br />

Interviewed and written by Emily Peters<br />

photos by Larry Marano and Tom Craig<br />

focus<br />

Larry Marano<br />

Larry Marano wants to portray you in the best light and get on your<br />

good side... however he isn’t vying for friendship. As a celebrity<br />

photographer for over forty years, he has captured some of the<br />

world’s most famous faces and become an expert at doing so.<br />

The right photo can make time travel seemingly possible,<br />

transporting the viewer to anywhere in the world at any<br />

given moment. Immortalizing a split second properly can<br />

conjure the power to inspire and change the course of someone’s<br />

life who hasn’t even been born yet. Larry Marano wasn’t thinking<br />

about any of this when he began photographing his favorite bands<br />

in Queens, New York over four decades ago.<br />

“When I was a kid I went to see Kiss at the Garden in ‘77. My love of<br />

rock music was one thing, but seeing these guys perform - they were<br />

the ultimate rockstars. I didn’t shoot that particular show, but after<br />

that night all I could think about was that I had to capture this world<br />

on film. Before photography became my occupation, I would sneak a<br />

camera into concerts by tucking the equipment into the large inner<br />

pockets of my jean jacket. When Van Halen tickets went on sale, my<br />

friends and I would be there waiting the day before. We’d get good<br />

seats and just shoot the entire performance, because back then a lot<br />

of the shows didn’t have any problems with you doing that. I would<br />

have the negatives developed and keep the photos just for myself... it<br />

wasn’t until ‘85 when I got into the magazines. One night at the Hard<br />

Rock Cafe in New York City, I ran into the guys from Queensrÿche, and<br />

showed them pictures I took from a previous gig of theirs at L’Amour<br />

East. It just so happened the photo editor from Hit Parader was there,<br />

and they in turn presented the photos to her. She said to give her a<br />

call and that was the start of transforming from a fan to professional.”<br />

In fact, it was a photo from one of these shows in 1982 depicting<br />

Eddie Van Halen playing his famed “Frankenstein” guitar, that<br />

became the center of a legal case as The Metropolitan Museum of<br />

Art in New York (The Met) used Marano’s image without consent or<br />

credit. This image was displayed by the museum for the 2019 exhibition,<br />

“Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock and Roll.” Marano sued for<br />

copyright infringement, but was ruled against when a U.S. District<br />

Judge decided that because the museum enjoyed the photograph for<br />

educational purposes, it did not violate copyright law.<br />

“The problem with this outcome is that it doesn’t only affect me,<br />

but all photographers from here on out. It shows that a nonprofit organization<br />

can take your image, whatever it may be... they can use it<br />

and not have to pay royalties or credit you. Something like this sets<br />

a scary precedent for any artist in general. That specific picture has<br />

ended up on t-shirts, posters, etc... and I can’t do anything about it.”<br />

50 | may <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

Over the years, the advent of technology has taken the guessing<br />

game out of the equation, enabling individuals the capacity to check<br />

their photos as soon as the shutter clicks. Photo editing programs have<br />

also allowed for the altering of an image in every way imaginable.<br />

“I think it’s less difficult these days with photoshop, unlike when<br />

shooting film... you have to pretty much be on your exposure. I do like<br />

the ease of it now, but there is something about having tangible rolls<br />

of film and anticipating getting the pictures back. My photos are still<br />

for the most part, what comes out of the camera. I do very minimal,<br />

if any at all tweaking of what I shoot. Back when I first started, I used<br />

a lot of black and white film because I couldn’t afford color... it was<br />

actually a plus in a way because the black and white has a mystique<br />

that’s beyond question. When I captured Guns N’ Roses in 1988 at<br />

The Limelight, that medium added a certain vintage look that can’t<br />

be recreated.”<br />

Most nights these days you can find Larry in the enviable standing<br />

room only area between the first row and stage, often denoted by a<br />

barricade between the cameraman and concert-goer.<br />

“Presently you must have a media pass to shoot, and 90 percent<br />

of the time you only get the first three songs. I understand wanting<br />

to control your image and dutifully respect the performer’s con-<br />

COPYRIGHTED


cerns. But live music is sweaty...<br />

that’s all part of the show, and as<br />

a photographer you want to capture<br />

artists in their element. If<br />

this had been a rule in the eighties,<br />

we wouldn’t have been able<br />

to obtain many of the iconic images<br />

now cherished by millions<br />

of people globally. During those<br />

years, it was even normal to hang<br />

backstage after hours. The rock<br />

photographer and the rock band<br />

combined into this one chaotic<br />

lifestyle which just worked... it<br />

was really a cool time.”<br />

Although his forte is with musicians,<br />

Larry isn’t limited strictly<br />

to this genre. “I am currently<br />

freelance, but have been working<br />

as the house photographer<br />

at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise,<br />

Florida for the past three years.<br />

My photos have been used in<br />

Spin, Rolling Stone, Billboard...<br />

I’ve been in pretty much every<br />

big publication at one point or<br />

another. The New York Post also<br />

uses me regularly to shoot sports<br />

and news related images occurring<br />

in South Florida.”<br />

When asked if there was an artist<br />

on his wish list or any aspect of<br />

his career which could have been<br />

executed differently, the answer<br />

was simple.<br />

“I would love to photograph<br />

Bob Dylan... unfortunately he<br />

doesn’t even let you bring a phone<br />

into his sets nowadays. Looking<br />

back, my only regret is that I<br />

should have utilized more film.<br />

If I had known how this line of<br />

work was going to transpire, and<br />

could have foreseen the ability to<br />

scan negatives... I would have shot<br />

more iconic people in their heyday.<br />

All in all, this industry is perfect<br />

for me. I set my own hours,<br />

show up for work wearing a Ramones<br />

t-shirt, and partake in history<br />

on a daily basis. What’s more<br />

rock and roll than that?”<br />

stitches by the sea<br />

Its raining threads!!<br />

Ten Years of Creativity<br />

and Creation in Delray<br />

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman<br />

The expression is one of stitching and stretching your mind<br />

in sync with artistic canvases and colorful threads. Called<br />

needlepoint, this artistic endeavor is made by hand and embellished<br />

by heart.<br />

Stitches by the Sea is the center of gravity for this age-old tradition<br />

of needlepoint. But its heritage – like many hobbies and endeavors<br />

– has evolved with younger stitchers and new culturally<br />

expressive canvases.<br />

What makes Stitches by the Sea so unique is its lineage. Founder<br />

Judi Alweil’s first needlepoint business was started in her motherin-law’s<br />

house in Long Island in 1968.<br />

It was the perfect business for this creative maven of color and<br />

style. Judi’s artistic bent and teaching degree laid the groundwork<br />

for a thriving business. Her ability to hand-paint needlepoint<br />

canvasses so beautifully made them sought after from all<br />

over the country.<br />

“My father Mac was our first salesperson for our wholesale business<br />

(Gemini) that I started with my partner, Rochelle Weissberg in<br />

1974. Our first big order was for Jordan Marsh and we didn’t have<br />

a system in place to fill the order. Our husbands helped us pack-up<br />

and ship our first large order,” said Judi, whose husband Dick has<br />

been part of the Delray Beach store since its inception.<br />

The business (both wholesale and retail) grew and prospered<br />

in Long Island with Judi designing brilliant canvases and selling<br />

Judi and Karen discussing upcoming projects<br />

If you haven’t been to Stitches by the Sea<br />

in downtown Delray you are missing out on<br />

a colorful garden of artistic expression.<br />

Mother and Daughter surrounded by Judi & Co. designs<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

yarns in all fibers and colors. Judi also authored two books (one on<br />

ribbon knitting) and created beautiful needlepoint handbags, pillows,<br />

wall art, totes, belts and other items of earthly existence.<br />

When the Alweil’s moved to South Florida Judi decided to take<br />

up her retail business venture once again. “Karen was doing our<br />

wholesale business in New York, but she moved to Florida to help<br />

us. Business has been so good that Karen has become a vital part of<br />

Stitches by the Sea.”<br />

Women flock to the Delray store from all over the country looking<br />

for beautiful needlepoint accessories and inspiration. Stitches<br />

by the Sea also sells designer canvases that can be made into anything<br />

imaginable.


Judi and her most recent finished project<br />

“Every time I come to Delray I come to Stitches by the Sea,”<br />

said Joanie Risavy. “Their choice of threads and canvases make<br />

it a candy store for me. I make Christmas ornaments, pillows<br />

and other items. I also get personal attention and learn a lot<br />

from Karen.”<br />

Karen is the co-anchor of Stitches by the Sea now. She has<br />

the pedigree combined with the knowledge and love of Social<br />

Media and needlepoint. She was the safe port in the storm for<br />

creative types during Covid and found herself shipping canvasses<br />

and threads all over the country for everyone in quarantine.<br />

“The repetitive motion of needlepoint calms the mind. That’s<br />

why we call Needlepoint…Yoga for the Mind®. Those are words<br />

we live by at Stitches by the Sea. People order our canvasses<br />

from all over the country. We have modern, contemporary, colorful<br />

and whimsical designs that make people happy.”<br />

You bet they do. They sell elaborate landscapes of exotic islands,<br />

colorful famous artist portraits (like Frida Kahlo), bursts<br />

of floral grandiosity, geometrics and whimsical sayings. They<br />

have elegant handbags with handles in bamboo, Lucite and<br />

metal, beach totes, pillows, designer evening bags and more.<br />

On Monday mornings they give live classes on Instagram®<br />

for needlepoint projects. They’re also on Facebook® and have<br />

an online store.<br />

For Judi, needlepoint has been a long and winding road of excitement<br />

and artistic reverie. “I have been fortunate to be able<br />

to take my love of stitching and turn it into a profitable business.<br />

Needlepoint is relaxing and creative. You can take a hand-painted<br />

needlepoint canvas and stitch it in cotton yarn or embellish<br />

it with various stitches and threads in silk ribbon, beads and<br />

silk raffia.”<br />

Needlepoint and Stitches by the Sea is literally a safe port in<br />

any storm. Just ask Arlene Weitzman. “I was in our boat headed<br />

to Baltimore when something broke. We turned around and<br />

come back to Florida. I love Stitches by the Sea because they<br />

have the best canvasses and threads, and they do my finishing.<br />

Judi is creative, kind and a fabulous business woman. And, with<br />

Karen nothing is impossible. This is my happy place.”<br />

It’s everyone’s happy place.<br />

Stark’s Barber Company<br />

Excellence in Men’s Grooming,<br />

Greeting, and Vibe<br />

BY diane feen | photos by melissa korman<br />

Stark’s Barber Company has a vibe all its own.<br />

It’s laid back but not laissez-faire. It’s upbeat,<br />

but not frenetic, and friendly, with no pretence.<br />

Some people call it a modern urban-style shop, but we call it a<br />

quintessential timeless Delray Beach barber shop.<br />

For three years Jason Stark has been the leader – and owner<br />

– of this quiet epicenter of men’s grooming. The shop is in a small<br />

quaint building in Pineapple Grove that defines itself by character<br />

and integrity – just like the Stark namesake.<br />

Their loyal customers all say the same thing – they love the<br />

professionalism and talent of the barbers, and the clean laid-back<br />

atmosphere.<br />

That was the master plan.<br />

“We are so much more than just a barbershop. This is a place<br />

where you can kick back with a complimentary beverage, watch a<br />

game, and reinvent your style. Our unique atmosphere makes everyone<br />

feel right at home,” said Jason.<br />

You bet they do. Just ask Michael Edwards who goes to Stark’s exclusively<br />

for haircuts. “Alejandro is the best barber in Delray Beach.<br />

He takes his time and pays attention to detail. He makes sure the<br />

cut is perfect; my fade is a clean sleek cool look.”<br />

Alejandro is a legend at Stark’s – and in the area of hair design.<br />

The Costa Rican born stylist who hails from LA is a natural when it<br />

56 | may <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

comes to hair design in any shape or form (though graffiti is most<br />

popular). His work is precision based and his attention to detail<br />

would make an artist blush.<br />

“We can confidently say that we will give you the best haircut<br />

you’ve ever had,” adds Jason.<br />

One way they accomplish this is by taking continuing education<br />

classes and attending trade shows that highlight current cutting<br />

techniques and products.<br />

You could say that Craig is the beneficiary of all this grooming wisdom<br />

and hair perfection. Sitting under the Halo LED ring light, you<br />

can see the signs of satisfaction on Craig’s face and the relaxed demeaner<br />

of his body, that he is a happy man.<br />

And he has good reason. “I have known Jason for nine or 10 years.<br />

He’s the only person I will let cut my hair. Everyone here is so professional,<br />

this is the best place in South Florida for men’s grooming.”<br />

That’s the beauty of this emporium of good taste and “cool” existence.<br />

Everyone loves the atmosphere and the laid-back non-hustle<br />

vibe. But the services excel where other shops may fail.<br />

Kim Foreman can attest to that fact. “Stark’s is the best Barber shop<br />

in Delray Beach! My man comes home every Saturday looking fresh.<br />

He has been having his hair cut there since the day the shop opened.<br />

I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for the best cut around!”<br />

The shop is also made up of barbers who retain their individuality<br />

yet have a unique character of their own.<br />

COPYRIGHTED


Take Jade, for instance. The stylist who came from Brooklyn 10<br />

years ago looks like a rock star and is considered one by her clients.<br />

Her background is in cosmetology, and she found her true passion<br />

in men’s grooming.<br />

Jade enjoys the eclectic mix of clients at Stark’s and is popular with<br />

clients of all ages. “This is an awesome shop that has a great vibe to it.<br />

I cut a lot of younger clients who want long hair and are nervous that<br />

someone will cut their hair too short.”<br />

Jade is adamant that she also does fade cuts, classic, and business<br />

cuts, and is very accommodating to all client’s preference in style or<br />

cut. “I know how to make sure the client gets the cut they want.”<br />

It’s easy to enjoy being at Stark’s, aside from the terrific artwork<br />

and talent of each barber. There is eclectic Bansky artwork on the<br />

exposed brick walls, five large flat screen TV’s, a comfy quartz bar<br />

area for doing work or trolling your iPhone. There’s also a permissive<br />

attitude that makes everyone feel comfortable and accepted.<br />

“Everyone can express themselves and get the grooming of their<br />

choice. We aim to please our clients,” adds Jason.<br />

Part of that equation is with the newest team member Ray. A former<br />

Barber instructor, Ray is passionate about being a barber and is<br />

smitten with Stark’s eclectic mix of clients and staff.<br />

They also have a collection of natural shave products for people<br />

with sensitive skin, as well as excellent trimmers.<br />

Are you a Florida licensed barber or cosmetologist? Can you do<br />

a Skin/Bald fade and are dedicated and creative? Stark’s is looking<br />

for you.<br />

Come to Stark’s and walk out with a smile on your face and a<br />

great style!<br />

Important News from<br />

PurLife Fitness Centers<br />

By Giovanni Roselli, Expert Fitness Trainer | photos by melissa korman<br />

Unprecedented times. Unchartered waters. Unique circumstances.<br />

Whichever way you say it, our world has been rocked the last several<br />

months. We at Purlife Fitness Centers want to welcome you back into our<br />

club. The new standards that we have put in place to ensure your health<br />

and safety is extensive, and we have gone to great lengths to give you a<br />

place to not only return to, but to aid in your overall health in the process.<br />

In addition to abiding to CDC guidelines which include keeping<br />

capacity at 50%, maintaining social distancing by powering off<br />

every other piece of cardio equipment and distancing equipment,<br />

and discontinuing towel service, extra measures have been<br />

taken that include:<br />

- Every staff member’s temperature will be taken before the start<br />

of their shift and all staff wears the appropriate PPE while interacting<br />

with members. In addition, the entire team participates in<br />

our increased cleaning and sanitation schedule, ensuring the entire<br />

facility is disinfected multiple times per day.<br />

- Temperature checks for every member who is looking to enter<br />

the gym, and any member with a temperature above 100.4 will not<br />

be allowed to enter the facility.<br />

- Hospital grade disinfectant and sanitation supplies are being<br />

used throughout the facility.<br />

Additionally, we have repainted all touchable painted surfaces<br />

with new Sherwin-Williams Paint Shield Microbicidal Paint technology.<br />

This technology kills virus and pathogens for up to 4 years<br />

once applied to a surface. Lastly, we have purchased OmniAir Hepa<br />

1000V medical grade air scrubbers that have been placed throughout<br />

the facilities. These units use UV and Peroxide to clean 100% of<br />

the air several times per hour.<br />

We now know, those at the highest risk populations for getting<br />

COVID-19 are individuals older than 65 years and/or with pre-existing<br />

conditions. Although we cannot turn back the clock, there<br />

are two ways Purlife can step in – and that is consistent exercise<br />

and adequate nutritional choices. Guess what the best way is to<br />

prevent falling into a high-risk category? Making healthy lifestyle<br />

choices so you do not get a condition to begin with! Even so, exercise<br />

has been shown and proven beneficial for older adults and<br />

people with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis,<br />

or heart disease. Regular exercise is essential for everyone under<br />

normal circumstances. However, here are a few more reasons why<br />

exercise is especially crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic:<br />

• Boosts immune system: research shows that regular, moderate-intensity<br />

exercise has immune-boosting benefits that can help<br />

your body fight off infections, including COVID-19.<br />

• Weight maintenance: Offset the effects of sedentary activities<br />

and burn off those extra calories you may have been consuming<br />

during the lockdown.<br />

• Reduces stress and anxiety: a proven mood-booster and can<br />

help adults reduce stress levels and build emotional resilience.<br />

• Improves sleep: There is evidence that suggests regular exercise<br />

helps you fall asleep faster and improves sleep quality — and getting a<br />

good night’s sleep has also been found to boost your immune system.<br />

Regular exercise improves balance, flexibility, strength, mobility,<br />

and cardiovascular health. Plus, it can boost energy and overall<br />

well-being. Not sure what to do or how to do it? Ask for one of<br />

our highly qualified staff and personal trainers who will guide you<br />

with proper form, creating exercise regiments specific to the individual’s<br />

needs and past history.<br />

We at Purlife are dedicated and committed to not only your fitness,<br />

but to your health and safety. We understand that there are<br />

those of you who may be hesitant to venture back out into the “new<br />

normal.” Whether you are revving to go, on the fence, or hesitant,<br />

we can whole-heartedly say that we have taken every possible precaution<br />

and made every effort to make everyone comfortable and<br />

safe. We did not focus on “What If,” we focused on what we CAN do!<br />

Lindsey Mygatt and CuRTIS Bennett<br />

Fast Furious<br />

and Smart<br />

Real Estate Pros<br />

BY diane feen | photos by Christine Magee<br />

There is a saying that if you choose<br />

a job you love, you will never have<br />

to work a day in your life.<br />

Lindsey Mygatt and Curtis Bennett haven’t worked a day in their<br />

lives. Instead, the dynamic duo spends their days enthralled<br />

with the real estate business, helping clients purchase the perfect<br />

home or sell a property that no longer serves them.<br />

60 | may <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

photo by Quality Media FL<br />

“We want our clients to experience and feel energized by our enthusiasm<br />

and passion for real estate. We love what we do for a living.”<br />

And who doesn’t want to work with someone who loves what they do?<br />

Good point, and one that is not often spoken about candidly. But<br />

working with these two dynamos in the real estate industry is a<br />

win-win for everyone. Their passion and drive for excellence is apparent<br />

the moment you meet them.<br />

Lindsey is a marketing wiz and has the enthusiasm usually<br />

marked for show business. Curtis is a finance maven who is quick<br />

with numbers and has answers to vexing problems related to mortgages,<br />

titles, and just the home buying process overall.<br />

The two of them have their hand on the pulse of the Palm Beach<br />

County real estate market and are quick to lead clients to their<br />

dream property. They’re also patient and delve deep into client’s<br />

specifications for property.<br />

“Lindsey and Curtis were everything we hoped they would be to<br />

help us search for the perfect home. They were attentive and quick<br />

to reply. They were kind and sweet when my fiancé and I were<br />

picky with each home. I’d recommend Lindsey and Curtis to everyone!”<br />

said Chris.<br />

Currently the market is moving faster than a bullet train, but that<br />

doesn’t faze Lindsey and Curtis. They tackle this challenge head on.<br />

The reason is that real estate is in their DNA. Lindsey’s family<br />

has been in the real estate business in Colorado since she was a<br />

youngster, and Curtis’ family has been in real estate development<br />

in Connecticut for many years.<br />

COPYRIGHTED


Both have families that live and breathe the real estate business. That<br />

passion was passed on to them at an early age and is the reason Lindsey<br />

and Curtis are rising stars only eclipsed by their drive and initiative.<br />

Coldwell Banker Realty named them “Top 30 Real Estate Agents<br />

Under the age of 30” for excelling in driving sales, serving clients,<br />

and giving back to their community. They also received the 2021<br />

International President’s Circle Award at Coldwell Banker Realty,<br />

putting them at the top 7% of the company internationally.<br />

The two are humble as they are smart and driven, with statistics<br />

that back up their intelligent approach to real estate. They closed<br />

over $20 million in sales in the last 15 months and $7 million + in<br />

the last three months.<br />

There is no mystery to their success – it’s hard work and a passion<br />

for helping clients reach the zenith of their real estate aspirations.<br />

“Our experience with Lindsey and Curtis was nothing shy of exceptional.<br />

From day one, they were inquisitive of our desires. They<br />

were accommodating and knowledgeable about the market. We got<br />

a leg up because of their due diligence and willingness to show us<br />

a myriad of homes. We highly recommend working with the South<br />

Ocean Group,” said Chris and Megan.<br />

Their “can do” attitude - combined with hard work – is on a continuous<br />

loop for clients. That’s why their success with clients is<br />

overwhelmingly positive.<br />

“We work 365 days a year and if our clients need anything, we<br />

are there. In a competitive and fast paced market like today it’s important<br />

that we work incredibly quick for our clients.”<br />

There is another advantage to their close adherence to excellence.<br />

Both Lindsey and Curtis are involved in every transaction<br />

from start to finish. Their goal is to make the process as stress free<br />

as possible for their clients.<br />

“We are involved in the entire process – initial meetings, showings,<br />

inspections, closings; you name it, we are there. It’s very important<br />

for us to be hands-on and available for our clients throughout<br />

the whole process. We are proud to have great relationships<br />

with local vendors, which makes the home buying process as seamless<br />

as possible for our clients.”<br />

Chris and Megan found this out firsthand. “You won’t find a better<br />

team or have a more seamless experience with any other realtor.<br />

If you’re looking for someone to help guide you through the<br />

process of buying your next home, you’ll be extremely glad you’ve<br />

chosen Curtis and Lindsey.”<br />

Because the real estate market is moving so swiftly right now,<br />

they know they need an advantage over the competition. That’s<br />

why Lindsey and Curtis put an emphasis on smart marketing, fierce<br />

negotiating skills, and great customer service. In this lightning<br />

speed market, it gives their clients a huge advantage.<br />

Lindsey and Curtis are adamant they leave no rock unturned when<br />

it comes to marketing their listings. “That is how we help our clients<br />

media marketing, and TV promotions, just to name a few.”<br />

Even though they are active and sell homes<br />

throughout Palm Beach County, they live in the<br />

heart of downtown Delray Beach.<br />

You can always find them driving their golf<br />

cart to their office, to showings or to dinner<br />

on the <strong>Ave</strong>nue. “What makes Delray Beach so<br />

special is the lifestyle,” said Lindsey. “We enjoy<br />

Delray’s inherent beauty and intimacy, as well<br />

as its vibrant downtown and wonderful restaurants<br />

and hotels.”<br />

Lindsey and Curtis’ goal is to help make each<br />

of their client’s real estate dreams a reality in<br />

South Florida. “Whatever our client’s real estate<br />

goals are, we are here to make them happen.”<br />

Everyone who works with Lindsey and Curtis<br />

says the same thing – they’re the best.<br />

mother’s day in delray beach<br />

Celebrating Mom<br />

“It’s not easy being a mother.<br />

If it were easy, fathers would do it.”<br />

By Linda brown<br />

We agree with the Golden Girls -<br />

so here are a few ideas on how<br />

to make Mother’s Day special...<br />

Shopping<br />

While flowers, food, and greeting cards are<br />

a given, you’ll also want to make sure you take<br />

care of Mom with a beautiful gift.<br />

We recommend that you shop local this<br />

Mother’s Day. There is no need to venture out<br />

of Delray to find jewelry, fragrances, fashion,<br />

and more. In a shameless plug, we urge you to<br />

use <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> for ideas and deals.<br />

And when shopping locally tell them we sent<br />

you!<br />

Dining options<br />

There’s no shortage of options for<br />

a memorable Mother’s Day brunch,<br />

lunch, or dinner in Delray. Frankly,<br />

you cannot go wrong taking Mom<br />

to any restaurant in All America<br />

City. However, we recommend<br />

making a reservation. Delray’s<br />

culinary reputation makes it a<br />

Mother’s Day hub so early reservations<br />

are a must to guarantee a<br />

wonderful experience.<br />

The good news is Delray offers<br />

all sorts of options: beachside<br />

dining, downtown sophistication,<br />

ethnic cuisine, garden views, golf<br />

course views—it’s all right here.<br />

But if Mom would prefer to dine<br />

at home, take-out from any of our<br />

~From the television show The Golden Girls.<br />

local restaurant – or…visit the Delray Green-<br />

Market at Old School Square, and pick up fresh<br />

local produce and make Mom a home-cooked<br />

meal! Started in 1996 by the Community Redevelopment<br />

Agency, the GreenMarket has<br />

become one of the most popular and charming<br />

aspects of “the season” in Delray Beach.<br />

At the GreenMarket you will find more than<br />

65 premier food vendors featuring farm-tofork<br />

produce, just picked citrus, tropical fruit<br />

and juice, farm fresh eggs, raw milk and butter,<br />

artisan cheese and jams, fragrant baked goods,<br />

plenty of gluten-free, vegan and organic products,<br />

fresh cut flowers, plants and other unique<br />

gourmet fare along with live musical entertainment<br />

each Saturday. The GreenMarket is at<br />

Old School Square Saturdays from 9am to 2pm<br />

through <strong>May</strong> 21.<br />

Culture<br />

Finally, if Mom hasn’t been to the Arts Garage<br />

make sure to take her! On Sunday <strong>May</strong> 8th (Mother’s<br />

Day) The Denise King Quintet is performing<br />

from 7:00pm – 8:30pm. Denise King is keeping the<br />

romance and nostalgia of all the great ladies of Jazz<br />

alive and well. Influenced by Sarah Vaughan, Nancy<br />

Wilson, Frank Sinatra, and Aretha Franklin, Denise<br />

King is an expressive, big-voiced vocalist that combines<br />

jazz with elements of R&B, Blues, and Gospel.<br />

This show take listeners on a mesmerizing look at<br />

love through classic jazz, standards, and The Great<br />

American Songbook. This is a show you won’t want<br />

to miss this Mother’s Day!<br />

For information, please visit www.artsgarage.org.<br />

Pampering<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

Once again, Delray is chock full of pampering<br />

options from yoga and fitness classes to massage<br />

therapy and spa skin care treatments—take your<br />

choice. Surprise Mom with a gift certificate and<br />

make sure to add a gift card for lunch.<br />

Happy Mother's Day!<br />

Infrastructure Planning In Full Swing this Spring<br />

James T Lee, Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Hassan HaDJImiry, and<br />

<strong>May</strong>or Shelly PeTROLIa Tour the City’s Water Plant in February <strong>2022</strong><br />

Planning for a New Plant<br />

The City’s new water treatment plant, estimated to be completed<br />

in 2026, is just one of approximately 75 capital improvement<br />

projects we have in the pipeline. While we are only in the planning<br />

stages, I am very excited about this project because it will ensure a<br />

state-of-the-art water treatment process, advance the City’s monitoring<br />

and control systems, improve water pressure, and serve our<br />

future needs.<br />

Strengthening our InfraSTRucture<br />

Our city has already been awarded $10.9 Million from the federal<br />

government’s American Rescue Plan Act and we are hopeful that<br />

more funding will be awarded as a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure<br />

Law. These funds will help ensure we can improve the quality,<br />

safety, and reliability of our infrastructure systems to increase our<br />

sustainability. In addition to the water plant project, we have dozens<br />

of other projects addressing everything from roadway safety and accessibility<br />

to seawall and beach nourishment. Please visit www.delraybeach.gov<br />

to view the complete <strong>2022</strong>-2026 Capital Improvement<br />

Project Program.<br />

Employee hIghlight - Deon Bass<br />

Deon is an engineering inspector<br />

for the Public Works Department,<br />

and is responsible for inspecting<br />

large-scale Capital Improvement<br />

Program construction projects.<br />

Whether it be on the job or<br />

out in the community, Deon<br />

goes the extra mile. He takes<br />

calls and answers emails after<br />

hours and each year he personally<br />

raises funds to buy toys for<br />

children in need. During the 2021<br />

holiday season Deon raised $2,600.<br />

Florida Stormwater Association<br />

Excellence aWard <strong>2022</strong><br />

I am proud to report that our city received the “Florida Stormwater<br />

Association Excellence Award for <strong>2022</strong>.” Annual recipients are selected<br />

through a highly competitive, peer-review process for demonstrating<br />

creativity, innovation and excellence in local water quality and<br />

programs and projects. Our city’s Stormwater Master Plan was created<br />

in 1993 and is updated every five years. This plan uses modelling<br />

of watershed basins and integrated sea level rise projections to identify<br />

problem areas and prioritize capital improvement projects for the<br />

next 30 years to address water resource issues, including drainage<br />

problems, street flooding, tidal flooding, inadequate infrastructure,<br />

stormwater quality and recharge. A total of 14 problem areas have<br />

been identified and a total of $378M in construction projects are recommended<br />

for 30-year capital improvement program planning.<br />

Sea Turtles on Delray’s beaches<br />

Every year from March 1 - Oct. 31, sea turtles come<br />

ashore to lay eggs on our beaches. Artificial lighting can<br />

cause hatchlings to become disoriented which can prevent<br />

them from finding their way to the ocean. We can<br />

help sea turtles by ensuring no direct or indirect light is<br />

visible from our beach. Do your part to help sea turtles<br />

safely get back to the ocean- keep your distance from nesting<br />

turtles by moving your chairs and cabanas to the sandy<br />

foot of the dune each night.

Exploring Our<br />

Great National Parks<br />

BY Lisa Marie<br />

With over 420 National Park Sites in USA, across more than 84<br />

million acres there are 63 that have been selected by Congress<br />

as especially important. This month we explore six of the<br />

lesser-known National Parks and indulge in their sheer beauty<br />

and diversity. These are among our nation’s true treasures!<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

Voyageurs national park<br />

Voyageurs<br />

Straddling the Minnesota-Canadian border, this relatively quiet<br />

park has no entrance fees and no roads! With 218,000 acres, water<br />

makes up one-third of this natural wonder. You’ll leave your car<br />

at one of the three visitor centers but No car = No problem! You can<br />

navigate the 4 main lakes (Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand<br />

Point) plus the 26 smaller interior lakes by renting a houseboat,<br />

take a guided boat or canoe tour, a ranger led paddle, water taxi or<br />

bring your own boat. If land is more your thing, then relish in an array<br />

of wonderful hiking trails on offer. A taster of the hikes available;<br />

Cruiser Lake Trail is a tough 9.5 miles, but there is a chance of spotting<br />

a moose or hearing the howl of a wolf. Blind Ash Trail Park, an<br />

easy 2.5-mile loop takes you through the boreal forest, with exceptional<br />

scenery. The 2.5-mile Echo Bay trail is great for bird watchers.<br />

Binoculars are a must! Accommodation within the park is only<br />

available by water. Kettle Falls Hotel is the only non-camping option<br />

with camping (tents only) or houseboats as the alternative. One extra<br />

special sight that you might capture is The Aurora Borealis (Northern<br />

Lights), intermittent but a possibility. Visit www.nps.gov/voya.<br />

Shenandoah<br />

Located in western Virginia and just 75 miles from Washington,<br />

D.C., this 200,000-acre park extends for more<br />

than 100 miles along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Start by taking<br />

the only public road through the park, the Skyline Drive<br />

which runs 105 miles north and south along the crest of the<br />

Blue Ridge Mountains and gives you panoramic views along<br />

the way. Shenandoah has over 500 miles of hiking trails with<br />

a section including the long-distance Appalachian Trail. With<br />

an expanse forest, you can expect to be entranced by cascading<br />

waterfalls, breezy summits with spectacular vistas, rocky<br />

peaks, and an abundance of wildlife. These protected lands<br />

are home to deer, squirrels, black bear and many bird species.<br />

Nestled in the heart of Shenandoah National Park, you<br />

will find multiple lodging options that cater to different tastes<br />

and needs, from comfortable and elegant to rustic and quaint.<br />

All lodging facilities in Shenandoah National Park are operated<br />

by Delaware North, the Park concessionaire. Visit www.<br />

Channel Islands national park<br />

Channel Islands<br />

Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary in California,<br />

nicknamed ‘North America’s Galapagos’ is a chain of five islands<br />

along the Santa Barbara Channel - Santa Cruz, Anacapa, Santa<br />

Rosa, Santa Barbara, and San Miguel. This NP is rich with untouched<br />

natural beauty and home to over 2,000 plant and animal species,<br />

including 30 marine mammal species including dolphins, elephant<br />

seals and the largest in the world, blue whales. Visiting here will take<br />

advanced planning. The mainland visitor centers are in Santa Barbara<br />

and Ventura, accessible by car but the islands require transport<br />

by park concessionaire boats, private boats and planes. On arrival<br />

in this magnificent haven there are few amenities. No Wi-Fi forces<br />

you to breathe in and admire the nature and really enjoy the scenery.<br />

Camping is available year-round but is primitive and small in numbers,<br />

and once on the island you must get there on foot, carrying all<br />

supplies. Whether it’s a day trip or a week, there are plenty of things<br />

to see and do on the islands. Escape the congestion and indulge in<br />

snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, birdwatching or just relaxing. Planning<br />

is essential so please visit www.nps.gov/chis.<br />

Great Basin<br />

Traveling along The Loneliest Road in America to get to this National<br />

Park located on the border of eastern Nevada and western<br />

Utah, its situated in the Great Basin Desert. One of the highlights<br />

is the Wheeler Peak scenic drive. A 12-mile drive hugging the South<br />

Snake Range, you will find yourself heading into the clouds to over<br />

10,000 feet above sea level, with the summit at 13,065. You will<br />

be met with far reaching vistas and panoramic views of the pine<br />

forests, lower mountains, lakes and the desert below you. Lehman<br />

Caves is another ‘must-do.’ Only allowing entry with a guided tour,<br />

you will be met by familiar cave formations, stalagmites stalactites,<br />

columns, draperies, flowstone and soda straws but the caves are<br />

most famous for their abundance of shields. This park also attracts<br />

people interested in birdwatching, stargazing and wildflowers.<br />

Hiking one of the 25 trails will also give you amazing views. Recommendations<br />

are Bristlecone and Glacier Trail to see the glacier,<br />

moraine and the bristle cones and the Alpine Lakes Trail for lakes,<br />

meadows, woodlands, spruce, aspen and pines! There are no lodging<br />

facilities in the park, but the community of Baker, 5 miles east<br />

of the park entrance, has several places to stay including motels,<br />

B&B’s, cabins and more. Camping is allowed inside the National<br />

Park but is extremely limited. This is the least visited National Park<br />

and consequently there are fewer people offering almost no litter<br />

and tranquil, quiet trails. Visit www.nps.gov/grba.<br />

Great Sand Dunes<br />

This National Park and Preserve is in southern Colorado. As the<br />

name depicts, it is known for its huge sand dunes, the tallest,<br />

Star Dune at 750 feet high. Year round, visitors can sled down the<br />

dunes descending into the soft sand at the bottom. When Sangre<br />

de Cristo Mountains begin melting into Medano Lake and flowing<br />

waterslide and most unique beaches for its visitors. It’s no secret<br />

that National Parks host some of the darkest skies in the country. In<br />

some areas of the Great Sand Dunes National Park, it’s possible to<br />

see up to 15,000 stars throughout the night. Stargazing at its best!<br />

There is no lodging inside the park but at the entrance you will find<br />

Great Sand Dunes Lodge, an excellent alternative to those not wanting<br />

to pitch a tent. There are several options for camping inside the<br />

park, mostly on a first-come-first-served basis. If you enjoy fishing,<br />

hiking or photography this might be the National Park for you. Visit<br />

Katmai<br />

Sitting on a peninsula in southern Alaska and 260 miles southwest<br />

of Anchorage this is a true wilderness destination! It<br />

was designated a national monument after the eruption of Novarupta<br />

in 1912 which formed the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. It<br />

became a National Park in 1980. Unconnected to any town by<br />

road it is only accessible by boat or floatplane, so planning is<br />

essential. The greatest attraction for visitors is that it is home<br />

to about 2,000 brown bears that are drawn to Brooks Falls for<br />

the abundance of sockeye salmon. You can get great views and<br />

photos from the lookout platforms at Brooks Camp. There are<br />

other locations that offer bear watching opportunities in season.<br />

In the month of June, Hallo Bay and Swikshak Lagoon are<br />

a good bet. Always have your camera at the ready as you might<br />

also spot moose, caribou, wolf, waterfowl, bald eagles, whales<br />

and seals. Katmailand, Inc. is the only National Park Service authorized<br />

concessioner in Katmai, offering overnight accommodations<br />

and food and beverage service based at Brooks Lodge<br />

and Grosvenor Lodge. They also offer guided sport fishing, gifts<br />

and merchandise, outdoor recreation equipment rental, public<br />

showers, ground transportation and sightseeing, and camper<br />

drop-off services. The park’s visitor center at Brooks Camp is<br />

open seasonally from June 1 through mid-September and guests<br />

can sign up for ranger-led tours of the Valley of 10,000 Smokes<br />

or a walking tour to learn the human history of the Brooks River<br />

Archeological District. Visit www.nps.gov/katm.<br />

Looking Back<br />

MAY in History<br />

By Lewis David<br />

Looking back at important dates that<br />

took place in the month of <strong>May</strong> both<br />

here in America and across the globe.<br />

<strong>May</strong> 1, 1960<br />

Soviet Air Defense Forces shot down American U-2 spy plane flying<br />

at 60,000 feet over Sverdlovsk in central Russia. Francis Gary<br />

Powers, the pilot, parachuted to safety but was captured, convicted,<br />

and sentenced to 10 years in prison by a Russian court. The incident<br />

caused a cancellation of a meeting between President Dwight<br />

D. Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev and heightening the existing<br />

Cold War tensions. Two years later Powers was exchanged for Soviet<br />

spy Rudolf Abel.<br />

<strong>May</strong> 2, 2011<br />

U.S. Special Operations Forces raided an al-Qaeda compound<br />

in Abbottabad, Pakistan killing the world’s most wanted terrorist,<br />

Osama bin Laden. The entire operation, which lasted only 40<br />

minutes from start to finish, was the culmination of years of calculated<br />

planning and training and SEAL Team Six was credited with<br />

accomplishing the mission flawlessly. After the attack, President<br />

Obama addressed the nation. “For over two decades, bin Laden has<br />

been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks<br />

against our country and our friends and allies. The death of<br />

bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our<br />

nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda. Yet his death does not mark the<br />

end of our effort. There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to<br />

pursue attacks against us. We must - and we will - remain vigilant<br />

at home and abroad.”<br />

Call to Justice<br />

If you were stranded in a<br />

lifeboat you would want<br />

Gary Ferreri on board.<br />

The Delray Beach Police Lieutenant has the know-how to get<br />

you to safety, the compassion to understand what you’re going<br />

through, and the leadership skills to get you to safety.<br />

A tall order for anyone, but Lieutenant Ferreri is up to any task,<br />

be it large or small.<br />

When he was doing “Problem Oriented Policing” he went door<br />

to door in high crime areas and asked residents about problems<br />

or pressing issues. His goal was to resolve issues and come up<br />

with solutions.<br />

That’s because Lt. Ferreri is a solutions kind of guy.<br />

When he was project manager for getting an ice cream truck for<br />

the city, he reached out and made it happen. “I made a few calls and<br />

very soon we had a brand-new van from Greco Ford. All the money<br />

was donated; we didn’t use any city money,” said the Long Island<br />

native who moved to Coral Springs as a teenager.<br />

The ice cream truck is one of the sweeter things that Ferreri has<br />

done, but not nearly the sum total. He has been a calming helpful<br />

presence for kids and teens in Delray donning a Santa suit during<br />

Covid and bringing them presents on holidays. He has mentored<br />

young people when they needed a helping hand (or advice) and is a<br />

stellar example of leadership, kindness and professionalism.<br />

When you mention the name Gary Ferreri the accolades build up<br />

like high rises in South Florida. “Gary Ferreri serves as an exemplary<br />

leader, not only in our Police Department, but in our city. He far<br />

exceeds the standard of Community Policing and has made giving<br />

back to the community part of his life, not just part of his role with<br />

the DBPD,” said Jordana Jarjura, President of Menin Development.<br />

You bet he has. As a sergeant he was in charge of the Youth<br />

Explorer Program. The kids not only learned about law enforcement,<br />

but Ferreri made sure they learned life skills as well. “We<br />

brought in a banker to teach the children about saving money,<br />

credit cards, and investing. We also brought in business leaders.<br />

We taught them how to dress for a job interview, how to write a<br />

resumé and helped them get jobs.”<br />

Ferreri was also instrumental in putting together the Backpack<br />

Giveaway. Ferreri is quick to note that it took a village to create<br />

these programs. “Volunteers stuffed the bags, and with the assistance<br />

of Perry DonFrancisco (from Delray Citizens for Delray Police)<br />

and Chuck Halberg, we were able to raise money from residents<br />

and businesses to purchase backpacks and supplies.”<br />

Another project he was lead manager of was “National Night Out.”<br />

Over 3000 people came to celebrate life, love, and Delray. “This free<br />

event was about breaking barriers and creating new relationships<br />

in the community. There were local resources, music, great food,<br />

and everyone came together from the city. It was a team effort.”<br />

Bringing people together is a central theme in Ferreri’s life, and<br />

his career. He is always ready to put a team together, raise funds,<br />

and create events, safety programs, and more.<br />

Ferreri may not talk about his accomplishments, but others do.<br />

“Gary is a Delray Beach hero to many. His communication skills,<br />

compassion, empathy, and integrity for those he serves (and works<br />

with) are key to being a great police officer. Gary he is a true leader<br />

who lives by these values,” said Chuck Halberg.<br />

Ferreri currently works as the Night Time Watch Commander<br />

running the Police Department from 5pm to 5am. He is responsible<br />

for operation of the department – including nightly operations,<br />

staffing, and making sure the officers have necessary resources.<br />

When asked when he sleeps, he shrugs his shoulders and says,<br />

“when I can.”<br />

One gets the feeling that being a police lieutenant and officer of<br />

the people is all-encompassing nourishment for this 15-year veteran<br />

of the police force.<br />

In the years since Ferreri stepped into his uniform it’s been a<br />

steady climb up the ladder of commendation. He started in Road<br />

Patrol, then POP, Detective Bureau, Crimes Against Violence and<br />

Property, Clean and Safe Unit, Community Response, Criminal Investigations,<br />

Internal Affairs, labor management, and more.<br />

At the detective bureau he was investigating violent crimes and<br />

a new terrain. “At that time the heroin epidemic was at its height. I<br />

was then promoted to Sergeant.”<br />

As a Sergeant Ferreri worked the night shift and oversaw a squad<br />

of officers. From there he moved into Internal Affairs, that he credits<br />

as one of the greatest learning experiences of his life.<br />

From IA he was promoted to Lieutenant and assigned to the<br />

night shift. But Ferreri is definitely more than an employee of the<br />

DBPD. He is a looming presence for goodness and gratefulness. “I<br />

have had a fulfilling career here. I’ve had the opportunity to mentor<br />

and enjoy relationships with the people I work with and people in<br />

the community. We have a great community.”<br />

The feeling goes both ways. “Officer Ferreri has a heart of gold.<br />

He mentored so many children. When my foster children see him,<br />

they light up like they’re seeing Santa Claus,” said Christie Gross.<br />

Former <strong>May</strong>or Jeff Perlman calls Gary one of a kind. “He’s a model<br />

officer because he brings so much of himself to the job. He truly<br />

cares about the community and that sincerity endears him to the<br />

people of Delray. This is more than a job for Gary. It’s a calling.”<br />

You bet it is.<br />

Law enforcement and creating space for goodness to grow is definitely<br />

a calling for Ferreri. It’s one that has garnered him awards,<br />

while at the same time nourished his love of being of service.<br />

“Some of my proudest moments were being able to help and<br />

comfort people when they were at the lowest points in their life.”<br />

Everyone who knows Ferreri is proud of this soft-spoken leader<br />

who relishes his partnership with other officers, city employees<br />

and community stakeholders.<br />

Homemade Food Made to Please You<br />

IL CONTADINO RISTORANTE<br />

Michel Menna is a people<br />

pleaser – in a foodie kind of way.<br />

He dotes on his customers with homemade Italian fare at his<br />

intimate restaurant in Pineapple Grove.<br />

The restaurant, Il Contadino is a place where people<br />

come to celebrate holidays, birthdays or just want to luxuriate in<br />

the pampering and power of a homemade Italian meal.<br />

Menna likes when his patrons call ahead to tell him what foods<br />

they prefer. That way he has time to create the perfect version of<br />

their favorite dishes with élan.<br />

82 | may <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

Veal Siciliana<br />

Ken Chiarella came to Il Contadino with his mother Marilyn<br />

(who was celebrating a milestone birthday) and three of his<br />

friends. All are snowbirds and find themselves smitten with the<br />

culinary prowess of Menna.<br />

“Michel puts out food that is second to none. Everything is personalized<br />

and fresh, and the flavors are distinct and amazing. Every<br />

time we come here, he asks us what we want, and then he<br />

prepares it beautifully.”<br />

When Ken’s mom Marilyn asked for lamb chops for her birthday<br />

dinner, Menna didn’t have them. But within an hour they<br />

mysteriously appeared in front of her with all the trimmings. She<br />

beamed with delight as her son looked on with amazement and<br />

accolades fit for a prince.<br />

“I have been to the best restaurants in New York and Italy and<br />

Michel is as good as all of them. I always tell the truth; this place<br />

is amazing.”<br />

Others feel the same way. “Do not walk past this place when you<br />

visit downtown Delray. If you’re a true foodie tell Owner/Chef Michel<br />

you want to try the meatball first and you will be blown away!<br />

Then enjoy dinner and very fine wines! Support your local chef,<br />

there’s no one better!”<br />

Some of the dishes that Ken and his guests (Sam and Judy Maruca)<br />

had are steeped in Italian tradition and prepared artfully and<br />

tastefully. They raved about the artichoke hearts basted in garlic<br />

with a wine sauce, sprinkled with Reggiano cheese. As lovers of<br />

homemade Italian food, the group feasted on Zuppa di Mussels in<br />

a light tomato sauce with clam broth, as well as Cowboy Rib-Eye<br />

Peperonata with peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms in a<br />

red tomato sauce.<br />

Cooking has been a passion of Menna’s since he was a tot. When<br />

his parents were away, he would go into the kitchen and create<br />

gourmet dishes for them. “My parents would come home and say,<br />

‘who catered this meal.’ I could barely reach the stove, but I loved<br />

cooking, it’s always been my creative outlet.”<br />

His guests can tell. “This pasta made me feel like I was in Italy.<br />

We have been here so many times and it’s always wonderful,” said<br />

Maruca. His wife Judy was all smiles as the spaghetti with anchovies,<br />

garlic, olive oil, and breadcrumbs came to the table.<br />

One of Menna’s finest dishes is his tequila tortellini, prepared<br />

tableside in a flame-lit pan that sparks the tequila to adhere to the<br />

creamy light sauce. Add that to the peas, prosciutto, and Reggiano<br />

cheese, and you have a delicious pasta that hails from the greats.<br />

It seems Michel is always on the prowl for new dishes and new<br />

experiences. After all, he has been in the restaurant business for 40<br />

years. Just recently he tasted potato latkes from another restaurant.<br />

Not impressed he quickly got out his frying pan and tried his hand<br />

at this ethnic dish. What he came up with is a potato latke lover’s<br />

dream. Tasty, crispy, and fresh, they seemed to disappear as quick as<br />

they came to the table. He also added sour cream to the center fold.<br />

For Marilyn’s birthday, Menna cooked up a rack of lamb with<br />

roasted garlic and rosemary. It was a dream dish, she said. And she<br />

ought to know. The Boynton Beach resident cooked delicious authentic<br />

Italian meals for her family for years.<br />

For Michel time does not stop. Though the restaurant business<br />

has been hard hit by the pandemic he continues to experiment in<br />

new ways to please guests. “I will be open for breakfast if people<br />

want me to. I make great omelets with fresh vegetables and other<br />

style egg dishes. People just have to call me.”<br />

Menna is also making fresh pizzas with all the trimmings of the<br />

pizza heritage. There is a difference between pizza and homemade<br />

pizza, and Michel wants to show everyone the difference. Also<br />

new at Il Contadino are fresh paninis and wraps with meats, fresh<br />

cheese, lettuce and tomato.<br />

Other outstanding dishes are Pork Osso Bucco that is braised all<br />

day with tomatoes and vegetables as well Mozzarella En Carrozza.<br />

If you are a fish lover, try the whole Branzini, baked with garlic and<br />

wine, delicately cooked.<br />

If you are celebrating a special occasion Menna will prepare<br />

Cowboy Ribeye Steak Pepperonata<br />

homemade dishes for as many people can fit inside this intimate<br />

space. He also has over a thousand different wines from around the<br />

globe waiting to be opened.<br />

The Chiaprella and Maruca clan had a bottle of Napa Valley Eagle<br />

Eye red wine that was divine. Full-bodied and smooth to the palate,<br />

it was an excellent choice. Whatever your wine preference is,<br />

Menna will make it happen.<br />

That might be another reason people love dining there. “Michael<br />

and his staff take the farm to table concept to new heights. I had<br />

Eggplant Napoleon, wow. A fresh and delicious take on eggplant<br />

rollatini. His presentation of veal cutlet with eggplant gave new life<br />

to an old favorite – it was amazing. Topped it off with cannoli and<br />

cappuccino. Best ever. This place is the real deal,” said Doug.<br />

It’s comments like Doug’s that makes Michel smile. It is also what<br />

makes his passion flame – not only table side – but inside his heart.<br />

Mother’s Day<br />

84 | <strong>May</strong> may <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

RECIPES<br />

On Mom’s special day let her sleep in and make a showstopping<br />

brunch or bring her breakfast in bed! She will definitely<br />

appreciate taking the day off. Here are a few recipes to plan a<br />

great meal. And don’t forget to add a sweet treat or dessert.<br />

Raspberry Sunrise Mimosa<br />

This beautiful drink is the perfect fancy treat for Mother’s Day.<br />

Extra points for serving it to her in bed.<br />

ingredients<br />

10 ounces fresh raspberries<br />

1/2 cup grenadine, chilled<br />

2 cups pulp-free orange juice, chilled<br />

One 750-milliliter bottle sparkling dry white wine, chilled<br />

Special equipment: A 12-cube ice cube tray, preferably one that<br />

makes square cubes; a freezer-safe pitcher; a large serving spoon<br />

directions<br />

1. Make the ice: Fill each compartment of a 12-cube ice<br />

tray about a third of the way up with water and freeze<br />

until solid, about 1 hour. Puree half of the raspberries<br />

in a food processor until smooth. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons<br />

of puree to each cube compartment, coming about another<br />

third of the way up the side. Freeze solid, about 1<br />

hour. Top off each compartment with water and freeze<br />

until solid, another hour.<br />

2. Make the cocktail: Carefully pour the grenadine<br />

into a large freezer-safe pitcher so that the grenadine<br />

doesn’t splash sides. Freeze until the grenadine is very<br />

cold and thick, about 30 minutes. Place a large serving<br />

spoon in the pitcher, holding it so the tip of the bowl<br />

touches the side of the pitcher just above the grenadine<br />

line. Slowly pour the orange juice into the bowl<br />

of the spoon, filling it up and letting the orange juice<br />

overflow run on top of the grenadine without mixing.<br />

Slowly bring the spoon up as the orange juice level<br />

rises. Using the same technique, add the sparkling<br />

wine, stopping after you’ve poured about half of the<br />

bottle to let the fizz subside. Continue pouring, slowly<br />

bringing the spoon up as the wine level rises. Top with<br />

half of the remaining raspberries.<br />

3. To serve, stir to combine the cocktail in the pitcher.<br />

Add the prepared ice cubes to Champagne flutes.<br />

Fill with the cocktail and top off with the remaining<br />

raspberries.<br />

1 (750-ml) bottle brut Champagne<br />

4 tablespoons pineapple juice<br />

4 tablespoons blood orange juice<br />

2 tablespoons orange liqueur<br />

glass and top with orange liqueur.<br />

Strawberry<br />

Ricotta Bruschetta<br />

sea salt will add beautiful flavor to this bruschetta-inspired dish.<br />

ingredients<br />

1 cup finely diced strawberries<br />

1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint<br />

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil<br />

Flakey sea salt<br />

12 toasted baguette slices<br />

1 cup ricotta cheese<br />

Balsamic glaze for garnish<br />

directions<br />

In a small bowl, toss the strawberries<br />

with the mint, olive oil and a<br />

pinch of flakey sea salt. Spread each<br />

slice of baguette with ricotta cheese.<br />

Top with a spoonful of strawberries,<br />

drizzle with balsamic and sprinkle<br />

with more flakey sea salt.<br />

Crispy<br />

Breakfast<br />

Pita<br />

A pizza-style breakfast using<br />

pita bread topped with<br />

cheese, prosciutto, spinach,<br />

and a fried egg.<br />

ingredients<br />

6 6-inch pita breads<br />

Extra-virgin olive oil<br />

6 large eggs<br />

3/4 cup (6 oz) mascarpone cheese<br />

Grated zest of 1/2 large lemon<br />

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<br />

3 packed cups (3 oz) arugula or baby spinach<br />

8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto<br />

directions<br />

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat<br />

or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush<br />

each side of the pita breads with 1/2 teaspoon<br />

olive oil and grill 2 to 3 minutes on<br />

each side, until crisp. Remove from the<br />

grill and cool slightly. In a large skillet,<br />

heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over mediumhigh<br />

heat. Crack the eggs directly into the<br />

pan and cook until the egg whites are set,<br />

2 to 3 minutes. Combine the mascarpone<br />

cheese, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon<br />

salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small<br />

bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together<br />

3 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1<br />

teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper<br />

until smooth. Add the arugula and toss<br />

until coated. Spread each pita with 2<br />

tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture.<br />

Divide the prosciutto on top. Divide the<br />

arugula and mound on top of the prosciutto.<br />

Carefully place a fried egg on top<br />

of each pita. Season the eggs with a pinch<br />

of salt and pepper and serve.<br />

How Can I Keep My Pets<br />

Healthy Naturally?<br />

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM<br />

The health and longevity of our pets is dependent on a strong immune<br />

system which is fueled by a clean, natural species appropriate<br />

diet. In addition to achieve a clean and appropriate diet, it<br />

is vital that their exposure to toxic and physiologically destructive substances<br />

be kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, exposure to these substances<br />

can be found in commercially processed foods, medications,<br />

cleaning, and lawn products, as well as the air pets breathe resulting in<br />

a plethora of symptoms. Among these symptoms are allergies, chronic<br />

conditions such as ear, anal gland, skin and respiratory infections, seizures,<br />

and even death.<br />

The liver is a key to all health. As the main filtering organ, the liver<br />

needs to be healthy to function properly. The liver is an essential organ of<br />

the body that performs over 500 vital functions. Included functions range<br />

from removing waste products and foreign substances from the bloodstream,<br />

regulating blood sugar levels, and creating essential nutrients.<br />

Here are some of the liver’s most principal functions:<br />

• Albumin Production: Albumin is a protein that keeps fluids in the<br />

bloodstream from leaking into surrounding tissue. It also carries hormones,<br />

vitamins, and enzymes throughout the body.<br />

• Bile Production: Bile is a fluid that is critical to the digestion and<br />

absorption of fats in the small intestine.<br />

• Filters Blood: All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines<br />

passes through the liver, which removes toxins, byproducts, and other<br />

harmful substances.<br />

• Regulates Amino Acids: The production of proteins depends on<br />

amino acids. The liver controls amino acid levels in the bloodstream to<br />

remain healthy.<br />

• Regulates Blood Clotting: Blood clotting coagulants are created by<br />

using vitamin K, which can only be absorbed with the help of bile, a fluid<br />

that the liver produces.<br />

• Resists Infections: As part of the filtering process, the liver also removes<br />

bacteria from the bloodstream.<br />

• Stores Vitamins and Minerals: The liver stores significant amounts<br />

of vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, as well as iron and copper.<br />

• Processes Glucose: The liver removes excess glucose (sugar) from<br />

the bloodstream and stores it as glycogen. As needed, it can convert glycogen<br />

back into glucose.<br />

When the liver is overwhelmed with toxins, mucous is formed that<br />

restricts the flow of blood thus limiting the ability to function properly.<br />

Quite often, the body relies on the lymphatic system to assist in the removal<br />

of these toxins creating many of the symptoms previously mentioned.<br />

Treating these infections does not fix the cause.<br />

Repairing the liver function is essential and easy if you take certain<br />

steps. Most important is to limit exposure of toxic and physiologically<br />

destructive substances such as preventative drugs and vaccines that<br />

provide minimal protection while damaging the liver. A number of botanical<br />

foods cleanse and repair the liver naturally. Milk thistle, turmeric,<br />

dandelion, ginger, licorice and cinnamon are among the favorites used<br />

in naturopathic approaches. The addition of other superfoods such as<br />

spirulina, chlorella and cilantro provide further removal of heavy metals<br />

and toxins. These botanicals also contribute a plethora of micronutrients<br />

favorable to cellular regeneration of healthy cells in the body.<br />

Keeping the liver clean and in good repair will mitigate most health<br />

issues to insure a longer, healthier life for your pets.<br />

misc | thanks mom<br />

By Ann Landers<br />

I had the meanest mother in<br />

the world. While other kids<br />

had candy for breakfast, I had<br />

to eat cereal, eggs, and toast.<br />

While other kids had cola and candy for lunch, I had a<br />

sandwich. As you can guess, my dinner was different<br />

from other kids’ dinners, too.<br />

My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all<br />

times. You’d think we were on a chain gang or something. She<br />

had to know who our friends were and what we were doing.<br />

I am ashamed to admit it, but she actually had the nerve to<br />

break the child labor law. She made us work.<br />

We had to wash dishes, make the beds and learn how to<br />

cook. That woman must have stayed awake nights thinking<br />

up things for us kids to do.<br />

And she always insisted that we tell the truth, the whole<br />

truth, and nothing but the truth.<br />

By the time we were teenagers, she was much wiser, and<br />

our life became even more unbearable. None of this tooting<br />

the car horn for us to come running; she embarrassed us to<br />

no end by insisting that the boys come to the door to get us.<br />

I forgot to mention that most of our friends were allowed<br />

to date at the mature age of 12 and 13, but our old-fashioned<br />

mother refused to let us date until we were 15.<br />

She really raised a bunch of squares. None of us was ever<br />

arrested for shoplifting or busted for dope. And who do we<br />

have to thank for this?<br />

You’re right, our Mean Mother.<br />

Thanks Mom!<br />
