from the 

editor 

Happy 

Birthday 

America! 

This year on July 4th, we celebrate 

Lisa Mizen, editor 

our 247th birthday. A time 

to celebrate the birth of the 

United States and to honor the 

contributions of the founding fathers who made it possible. 

The American flag stands for our country’s values of freedom, liberty, and justice, and is 

commonly seen during our nation’s celebrations and especially right here in Delray Beach. The 

4th of July Celebration begins at 5pm on East Atlantic Ave and AIA, with the raising of the 60’ 

flag, an honor guard and the singing of the National Anthem. A sight to be seen that will leave 

you with a lump in your throat and a feeling of pure patriotism. Following this you can stroll 

along the traffic-free street and enjoy food, contests, entertainment and more. Don’t miss the 

fireworks starting at 9pm. 

Need some help to cool off this month? We offer some great ideas in our ‘Beat the Heat’ 

COPYRIGHTED 

article. It’s got you covered for places to visit to stay out of the heat. 

Mimi Haley Meister: A Force For Good is our City Person this month. She is a phenomenon 

when it comes to fundraising and there are an abundance of people testifying to this. “Mimi 

supports all non-profits and makes everyone feel good for the mission, whether it’s St Vincent 

Ferrer School, OSS, The Delray Beach Public Library, Sandoway House or the Delray Chamber. 

We call her events the Friendraisers!” said Louise Glover. 

Swing into Summer and enjoy all that Delray Beach has to offer!

Delray Beach headlines straight from our archival

Lloyd. Based on journalist and author 

Norman Maclean’s childhood experiences 

in the 1920’s, A River Runs through it will

posh properties 

BY Harry Chu 

My name is Harry Chu. I am the managing Broker for Posh 

Properties. I have been passionate about real estate 

since my twenties. Buying my first home at this young age 

was an incredible feeling that I want to share with everyone. 

It is an amazing achievement whether it is your first home 

or an investment property. Over the past couple of decades, 

I have been able to see the same feeling in the smiles of 

clients closing on their first home and the thrill in helping 

clients invest in real estate. I find “off-market” properties 

where I provide committed clients the first right of refusal 

on properties found. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to 

share my knowledge and experience with amazing clients 

and fellow agents in the Posh office, who become my friends 

and a strong part of my network. I currently reside in Boynton 

Beach with my wife and two beautiful children. South Florida 

is where I have called home for many years and I am honored 

to help others do the same.

Delray Under $50 

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

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

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

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

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

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

All America Fest 

Yes, it’s hot. We all know it. But we know to expect it because 

we live in Florida, where every day is a good day to be outside. 

National Play Outside Day is Saturday, July 1 and you’re 

invited to join several hundred of your local neighbors to party 

hardy outside. Kick off July 4th weekend with some rock and roll at 

the All America Fest in The All America City, featuring the No. 1 Bon 

Jovi cover band in the entire United States, “Living On A Bad Name.” 

The talented musicians have mastered every nuance of Bon Jovi’s 

sound, capturing the raw energy and spirit that made them one of 

the greatest rock bands of all time. Held at the Old School Square 

Amphitheater, you’re invited to bring your lawn chairs and enjoy 

pure rock ‘n’ roll bliss under the stars! Held from 6 to 9 p.m. at 51 N. 

Swinton Ave., this free event is open to everyone! Food and alcohol 

vendors will be on site, so invite the friends and family and enjoy 

a fun, playful night outside that’ll be a great kick-off to a fun-filled 

holiday weekend. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or

4th of July Celebration 

Land of the free because of the brave! After a weekend spent 

celebrating the freedom we all know and love oh so much, 

there’s only one thing left to do: continue the celebration. 

Head to Downtown Delray for the 4th of July and celebrate with 

everyone you know! Held Tuesday, July 4 from 5 to 9:30 p.m., the 

family-friendly 4th of July Celebration is held on Atlantic Avenue 

and A1A, which is the perfect backdrop for all the festivities. The 

City has hosted the event for more than 50 years and this year’s 

attendance is expected to reach 80,000 people. The event begins 

with the 60’ flag raising ceremony with an honor guard and the 

singing of the National Anthem, which is a sight to be seen. The 

entire Celebration includes food-eating contests, food trucks and 

vendors, children’s activities and games, non-stop entertainment 

and so much more! The spectacular Zambelli Fireworks will start 

promptly at 9 p.m. over the ocean, which is one of the best fireworks 

displays in the area. It truly is a great way to celebrate our 

independence by spending the holiday with thousands and thousands 

of your local American friends. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com

Art & Jazz on the Avenue 

School’s out, schedules have been interrupted, and downtime 

seems a little bit more frequent. If you’re looking for a break 

from the boredom, look no further than Art & Jazz on the Avenue, 

a downtown must since the ‘90s! July is Anti-Boredom Month 

and is the perfect time to shake things up a bit, even if it’s just for a 

night. Who knows, you might get the funky fever and continue the 

streak for a few months. After the pandemic, the DDA decided to 

move the event around to different downtown neighborhoods, and 

this particular event is held on East Atlantic Avenue between Swinton 

Avenue and Northeast Fifth Avenue (Federal Highway). Held Wednesday, 

July 26 from 6 to 9:30 p.m., visitors can expect to enjoy live mural 

artists from Emo, Jukes, Craig McInnins and Renata Rodrigues, as well 

as live music entertainment from the Mylon Shambles Quartet, The 

Flyers, Violet Jefferies Duo, Derek Mac 4 Piece, and Genitta’s Vendetta. 

It’s an amazing local event that only happens four times a year, so you 

have to be sure to attend and enjoy the opposite of boredom. Arrive 

early and enjoy a bite to eat from your favorite local downtown eateries 

or stay late and grab a drink before heading home - kidding! Before 

heading out to dance the night away, obviously. It’s anti-boredom 

month, take it seriously, people. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com 


The Bahamian Independence Day Festival 

Our neighbors to the East are celebrating their independence and they’re 

kind enough to invite us to the party! Well, it’d be rude not to join them, 

right? Right! July is Social Wellness Month and independence is best celebrated 

together (zinger!). The Bahamian Independence Day Festival is held Saturday, 

July 8 as a celebration of the vibrant spirit of the Bahamian Independence 

Day! The festival will immerse visitors in the rich culture, traditions, and flavors 

of the Bahamas, right in the heart of Florida. You can expect a day filled with 

lively music, colorful parades, and mouthwatering cuisine that will transport 

you to the beautiful islands of the Bahamas. Indulge in authentic Bahamian 

dishes, from savory conch fritters to sweet guava duff, while sipping on refreshing 

tropical beverages. Dance to the infectious beats of Junkanoo music and 

witness captivating performances showcasing the diverse talents of Bahamian 

artists. The festival will also feature art exhibits, craft vendors, and activities 

for all ages, offering a unique opportunity to explore the artistry and craftsmanship 

of the Bahamas. So, mark your calendars and come experience the 

essence of Bahamian culture as you help to commemorate their independence 

and the enduring bonds between our communities! The Festival is held at 3 

p.m. at Old School Square, 51 N. Swinton Ave. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com 


Sandwiches By The Sea 

Kids like them, adults like them, and four-legged friends love 

the leftovers. Yup, it’s the quintessential sandwich that 

brings the world together. Regardless if you love the triple 

meat, pass on the LTO, or prefer only veggies on your hoagie, 

there’s a sandwich out there that has your name (and bite marks) 

written all over it. July is National Deli Sandwich Month and it’s 

about time to fall in love - or show some never-ending drooling 

dedication - to the hoagie. If you’re looking for a place that has 

it figured out, and has had it figured out since 1981, look no further 

than Sandwiches By The Sea. If you drive by or walk by too 

quickly, you might miss it. But turn around! They dish out some 

of the freshest sandwiches in town, and in about two minutes flat. 

For less than $10, you can enjoy their custom sandwiches, which 

include Italian Combo, New York Style and Tsunami, or create 

your own. They also offer their famous yogurt shakes, wraps and 

salad plates. The icing on the top is that they’re located within 

walking distance to the beach so you can hop, skip and jump to 

the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy your sandwich with toes in the sand. 

Sandwiches By The Sea is located at 1214 E. Atlantic Ave. They 

are open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and feel free to call (561) 

272-2212 for more information.

“A Journey Through Time at 

Old School Square” with LAPS 

COPYRIGHTED 

“A The colorful, interactive, and playful installation, 

Journey Through Time at Old School Square” with 

LAPS, is a new temporary interactive art installation. 

which features six giant hourglass modules that reach nearly 

eight feet in height, are on display in Old School Square Park 

(on the main green area) in Downtown Delray Beach and are 

on view day and night until July 30, 2023. The art pieces will 

give guests a chance to turn time forward and backward as they 

maneuver a large wheel on each hourglass at their own pace. 

Vivid lights and sounds will radiate from the pieces as the sand 

glides back and forth in motion to mark time saved and spent 

at the location. The message of the installation is that because 

everyone gets to choose the time they want to spend at the 

exhibit, each is a keeper of their own passage of time. 

The LAPS exhibit was designed and created in Montreal, 

Canada in 2022 by Olivier Landreville, with sound and light 

design by Serge Maheu. Structure and engineering were 

provided by Maintenance Industries Meca-Fab Inc. The 

interactive installation is produced by Init and Creos. Prior to 

its appearance in Delray Beach, Florida, LAPS was presented 

in Montreal, Canada; Des Moines, ID; Ottawa, Canada; and 

Denver, CO.

Gotta See 

entertainment | gotta SEE By lisa marie 

July 7th 

► Joy Ride 

The hilarious & unapologetically explicit story of identity & selfdiscovery 

centers on four unlikely friends who embark on a oncein-a-lifetime 

international adventure. When Audrey’s (Ashley Park) 

business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of Lolo (Sherry 

Cola), her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be 

a hot mess; Kat (Stephanie Hsu), her college friend turned Chinese 

soap star; Deadeye (Sabrina Wu), Lolo’s eccentric cousin. Their noholds-barred, 

epic travel experience becomes a journey of bonding, 

friendship, belonging, and wild debauchery that reveals the universal 

truth of what it means to know and love who you are. Joy Ride is 

directed by Malaysian writer / filmmaker Adele Lim, making her 

feature directorial debut after working as a producer / writer for 

TV, and as a screenwriter on Crazy Rich Asians and Raya and the 

Last Dragon. 


► Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One 

In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt 

(Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous 

mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that 


threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. 

With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and 

dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the 

globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, 

Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than 

his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most. 

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is again directed 

by American filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie, director of the 

movies The Way of the Gun, Jack Reacher, plus both Mission: 

Impossible - Rogue Nation & Fallout. The cast in Part One includes 

Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai 

Morales, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham, Henry 

Czerny, and Cary Elwes. 


► The Deepest Breath ( Netflix) 

Laura McGann (also of the doc Revolutions previously) spent 

years collecting all of the footage and putting together this film, 

and it shows. Her passion for telling this story is evident in every 

frame of this film. The Deepest Breath introduces us all to two 

wonderful people - ambitious Italian freediving champion Alessia 

Zecchini, and the beloved Irish adventurer / freediving instructor / 

safety diver Stephen Keenan. They don’t meet until many years later 

into their careers, but the film tells their stories in parallel from 

childhood into adulthood. There’s a lovely cinematic comparison 

throughout with how they each choose unique lives. Aside from a 

harrowing inside look at the sport for freediving, the doc is another 

life-affirming reminder that living a good life is not about the 

money you make, but what you do, how you treat people, what you 

dedicate your life to, what your time is spent on. There’s even a few 

interviews with Stephen’s father where he candidly discusses this, 

saying that at first he wasn’t sure if his son was successful, but after 

watching this film there’s no way anyone can deny - this man was a 

hero. He changed lives, he even literally saved lives.

Baking Yesteryear: 

The Best Recipes 

from the 1900s to 

the 1980s 

by B. Dylan Hollis 

decade-by-decade cookbook that 

A highlights the best (and a few of the 

worst) baking recipes from the 20th century. 

Friends of baking, are you sick and tired 

of making the same recipes again and 

again? Then look no further than this baking 

blast from the past, as B. Dylan Hollis 

highlights the most unique tasty treats of 

yesteryear. 

Travel back in time on a delicious decade-by-decade 

jaunt as Dylan shows 

you how to bake vintage forgotten greats. 

With a big pinch of fun and a full cup of 

humor, you’ll be baking everything from 

Chocolate Potato Cake from the 1910s to 

Avocado Pie from the 1960s. 

Dylan has baked hundreds of recipes 

from countless antique cookbooks and 

selected only the best for this bakebook, 

sharing the shining stars from each decade. 

And because some of the recipes 

Dylan shares on his wildly popular social 

media channels are spectacular failures, 

he’s thrown in a few of the most disastrously 

strange recipes for you to try if 

you dare. 


A few of Dylan’s favorites that are going 

to have you licking your lips and begging 

for more include: 

• 1900s Cornflake Macaroons 

• 1910s ANZAC Biscuits 

• 1930s Peanut Butter Bread 

• 1940s Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake 

• 1950s Tomato Soup Cake 

• 1970s Potato Chip Cookies 

Baking Yesteryear contains 101 expertly 

curated recipes that will take you on a 

delicious journey through the past. With a 

larger-than-life personality and comedic 

puns galore, baking with Dylan never gets 

old. We’ll leave that to the recipes. 

Physicians’ Untold 

Stories 

by Scott J. Kolbaba, MD 

Doctors work in life-and-death situations 

every day. But what happens 

when they encounter something even they 

can’t explain scientifically? 

Dreams foretelling future events, apparitions, 

and other miraculous experiences 

fill this book, as practicing doctors recount 

the most unusual moments of their 

careers. 

Meant to awe, instruct, and inspire, 

these tales will convince even the harshest 

skeptic that there are things beyond this 

physical world and that sometimes, all we 

need to do is believe. 

Physicians’ Untold Stories doesn’t stop 

at chronicling these occurrences. Scott J. 

Kolbaba, MD, provides a glimpse into the 

lives of doctors that few get to experience. 

Learn their agonies and joys. In their own 

words, doctors reach out to you and show 

you how faith in the divine has shaped 

their lives. Even in the darkest of times, 

as they comfort terminally ill patients 

and make impossible choices, moments 

of light shine through.Like the popular 

Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Kolbaba 

has catalogued inspiration moments into 

small stories perfect for bite-size reading—or 

maybe for gobbling up all at once!

the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the

I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy

Life in Five Senses: How 

Exploring the Senses Got 

Me Out of My Head and 

Into the World 

by GRETCHEn Rubin 

For more than a decade, Gretchen Rubin had been 

studying happiness and human nature. Then, one 

day, a visit to her eye doctor made her realize that she’d 

been overlooking a key element of happiness: her five 

senses. She’d spent so much time stuck in her head that 

she’d allowed the vital sensations of life to slip away, unnoticed. 

This epiphany lifted her from a state of foggy 

preoccupation into a world rediscovered by seeing, 

hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. 

In this journey of self-experimentation, Rubin explores 

the mysteries and joys of the five senses as a path 

to a happier, more mindful life. Drawing on cutting-edge 

science, philosophy, literature, and her own efforts to 

practice what she learns, she investigates the profound 

power of tuning in to the physical world. 

From the simple pleasures of appreciating the magic 

of ketchup and adding favorite songs to a playlist, to 

more adventurous efforts like creating a daily ritual of 

visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and attending 

COPYRIGHTED 

Flavor University, Rubin show us how to experience each 

day with depth, delight, and connection. In the rush of 

daily life, she finds, our five senses offer us an immediate, 

sustainable way to cheer up, calm down, and engage 

the world around us—as well as a way to glimpse the 

soul and touch the transcendent. Life in Five Senses is 

an absorbing, layered story of discovery filled with profound 

insights and practical suggestions about how to 

heighten our senses and use our powers of perception 

to live fuller, richer lives—and, ultimately, how to move 

through the world with more vitality and love.

Let’s Savor Summertime! 

As the weather heats up and the snowbirds go home, 

summertime comes to Delray. It is a season when the locals 

can walk Atlantic Ave at a slower pace, find a seat in the 

newest restaurant, or enjoy an impromptu game of putt putt 

in the evening breeze. This month, let’s celebrate all the 

wonder of summer fun in Delray -- without all the visitors! 

head to one of our wildlife parks for a 

peaceful nature walk. Rent a bike or golf 

cart and coast along A1A. Take your kids to 

Catherine Strong Splash Park for some water 

fun, or dare to dip your feet into a tank 

at WTF Lounge for the “Minnow nibbling” 

(prepare to laugh out loud!). 

All without reservations or planning…... 

all in a fun, spontaneous, summer way. 

Want to try something you have never 

done before WITHOUT a large group

How about a stretch zone or group fitness 

class? Summertime is the time to try -- just 

walk in and do it.

And what about during the hottest part of 

the day? When it is just too warm to stroll? 

You can head east or west to a cool theater 

and enjoy the newest summer movie, stroll 

our many art galleries and museums, or 

take in a live show at Arts Garage. Enjoy 

an evening drink at the Courtyard Marriott 

rooftop bar, or at Aloft’s WXYZ Bar. All on a 

whim, all with ease. 

No matter what road you pick, what activity 

or food or fun you happen upon, marvel 

at the fact that these months are the 

months to jump in and try. You have all this 

wonderful fun at your fingertips, all summer 

long. Go for it! 

We Are Delray – and we are lucky to call 

this magical summer place HOME!

Youth Sports and Concussions: 

The Argument for 

Pre-Season Brain Screening 

A concussion is known as mild traumatic brain 

injury. It is most commonly defined as a head 

injury that momentarily affects brain functions. 

Concussions occur when an impact to the head or body causes 

your head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This movement 

causes the brain to bounce around inside the skull creating 

chemical changes in your brain. If the impact is severe enough, 

neurons within the brain can be stretched and damaged producing 

a traumatic brain injury. The youth sports producing the most concussions 

are tackle football, boy’s ice hockey, girl’s soccer, and boy’s 

lacrosse. Here are some remarkably interesting numbers concerning 

concussions and youth sports: 33% of all concussions happen 

at practice, 47% of all sports related concussions occur during high 

school football, 1 in 5 high school athletes will sustain a concussion 

during the season, 33% of high school athletes that sustain a concussion 

report 2 or more in the same year, 39% of athletes that have numerous 

concussions are shown to increase catastrophic head injury 

leading to more permanent impairment. To add to these daunting 

numbers is the fact that most athletes with concussions rarely lose 

consciousness therefore they may not be reported. 

Many youth and recreational organizations and high schools are 

implementing programs to assess for the baseline brain activity of 

their athletes prior to the start of the season. In essence, a snapshot 

of the athlete’s brain function is taken prior to the athletic competition 

to be able to compare neurological function after a concussion 

and determine the amount of injury sustained. These tests 

also provide a baseline marker for objective “return to play” benchmarks. 

This takes away the subjective reporting of a child which 

in many cases cannot even accurately describe what they are feeling. 

Because concussions are much more difficult to quantify than 

a ligament tear or fracture, traditional imaging such as MRI and CT 

are not fruitful. However, there are now several evidence-based 

technologies available to assess and treat these concussions. 

Headache, dizziness, disorientation, confusion, sleep disturbance, 

nausea, and irritability are all symptoms associated with 

concussions, however the challenge is in the quantification process. 

The management of the concussion must be organized into 

a pre-season assessment, incident report and comparable, treatment, 

follow-up assessment, and return to play. The piece we are 

going to look at here is the pre-season assessment. This is going to 

be composed of the neurological aspects that are most commonly 

seen injured in athletes with concussions. These are postural stability, 

working memory, reaction/processing times, set switching, 


learning, and dynamic and static visual acuity. Norms have been 

established for age groups and gender which makes comparing 

relatively easy. Once the data is collected and areas of deficiency 

identified, treatment is implemented and can be very precise. The 

athlete is then re-examined after the course of treatment and then 

allowed to “return to play” if the benchmarks have been reached. 

The equipment that is gaining the most notoriety for the assessment 

and treatment is the Hit Check Cognitive Assessment Aid, Dynavision 

D2, Force Plate Posturography, and Medical Virtual Reality 

Assessment and Rehabilitation tool. The next time your child plays 

a sport, prior to the season get a baseline assessment to ensure his 

or her brain health.

Mind Makeover 

If you are serious about transforming your 

body and getting in the best possible shape, 

there’s a couple of things you will need to 

do before you start your transformation. 

You might think I’m going to say…plan your workouts, clean 

out your pantry etc…but, not so fast! Before you can start 

to transform your body you have to transform your mind. 

Transforming your body is pretty much ALL mental. If your mind 

is not in the right place, your body will not follow suit. I’ve seen 

it time and time again in the fitness industry. Your mindset is 

the ONLY thing that separates you from having the body of your 

dreams. It’s the difference of reaching goals or missing them. With 

that being said, here are some things to consider before beginning 

your “physical” transformation. 

Start by identifying your current mindset. You 

may feel frustrated or discouraged about your 

current situation. You may feel you have tried 

everything to change your body with no 

success. You may feel defeated that you 

gain and lose the same 10 pounds over 

and over. Whatever your situation may 

be, you need to realize what feelings 

you’re having and why you’re having 

them. Once you identify your current 

mindset, you’ll be able to move forward 

with the right type of thinking. 

Which brings me to my next 

point, the power of positivity. 

A positive mindset is a MUST. 

We attract what we think about. 

We become what we think 

about. Positive thoughts yield 

positive results. If you start your 

transformation with doubts about your abilities or 

doubts about hitting your goals you are already setting 

up for failure. Know there will be obstacles 

along the way, but you need to have the right 

mindset so obstacles will not hinder your final 

result. Whatever life throws you (life is full of 

curveballs) you’ll be ready to handle any situation 

or bump in the road. Too many people 

give up on their goals because of circumstances 

totally within their control. So be ready, willing 

and able to say and do, “Whatever comes my way, 

I’ve got this and I WILL do this!” 

The next key to a successful transformation is 


that you have to want it bad enough. If not, then EVERY excuse in 

the book will stand in your way. “Oh, I didn’t have time to get to the 

gym. It was just a couple extra slices of pizza.” Every person that 

wants it bad enough, gets results. The clients that think they want 

to transform but don’t have a yearning in their heart for change, 

don’t. It’s really as simple as that. New clients will ask, “Do you 

think I have what it takes to transform?” And the answer is always, 

“Yes, anyone can transform as long as you want it bad enough!” 

When you want something bad enough, your heart and head are 

into it and with that your body will follow. 

The last piece of advice is to leave fear of failure at the 

door. There is nothing to be afraid of - the only way to 

fail is by not even trying. Fear is often what holds us 

back from going after the things we really want in 

life. What should really scare you is the thought 

of staying stagnant in your current situation. 

Imagine living in a body you’re uncomfortable 

with for the rest of your life…now 

that’s scary! The only way you can fail 

is by giving up. Understand that 

transforming your body is a marathon 

not a sprint. Every “body” 

is different and each person’s 

transformation will take a different 

amount of time. For some 

it will be three months, for some it will be one year. 

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

will never be an option. 

Before embarking on your physical transformation, 

make sure your mind is warmed up and 

ready to run with you. Our mind is the most 

powerful tool we have and it can either make 

us or break us. Use it wisely and your transformation 

will be a little easier than you think!

Paola Mayfield 

Interviewed and written by Emily Peters | Photo by Edward-Daniel Simons Jr. 

You can always 

change and get 

better, but you can’t 

please everyone. 


It takes a massive amount 

of courage to have your life 

filmed, revealing private 

moments for the world to 

judge. Paola Mayfield accepted 

the challenge - gaining fame as 

one of the first individuals to 

appear on Season One of 90 

Day Fiancé, a documentarystyle 

show produced for TLC. 

The breakthrough reality television star gives us a glimpse 

into married life, how fitness allowed her a new daily 

perspective, and the greatest role she has taken on yet: 

Motherhood. 

Paola Mayfield rose to fame as audiences witnessed her relocate 

from Bogotá, Colombia to Oklahoma - where she would 

live with her fiancé, and decide within three months whether 

to marry him or return home. Doing her best to acclimate 

through serious culture shock, mixed with meeting potential 

in-laws for the first time, made for major ratings success. However, 

Paola’s road to celebrity status began many miles away 

from the “Sooner State.” 

“Growing up in Bucaramanga, Colombia is very difficult. There 

are not many opportunities, and you have to start working at a 

very young age - especially coming from a humble family like 

mine. I was signed with a modeling agency, and started walking 

in runway shows at sixteen years old. I wanted to do it, and was 

excited, but it was never something I had dreamed about... I just 

thought it could be a fun way to make money. While pursuing my 

career as a model, I moved to Bogotá for school, and that is where 

I met my husband. One day I was invited to a party, and noticed a 

cute guy standing in the corner. I was kind of learning English at 

the time, and thought maybe he could help me practice.” 

The rest is cinematic history, and Paola says she occasionally 

rewatches older episodes to reminisce. 

“I say whatever comes to my mind, and am very bold when 

speaking. I did that a lot in all the seasons, but it was a great experience 

that brings me wonderful memories. I like to look back 

COPYRIGHTED

on my life with my husband, and our journey together. I got very 

used to the cameras, especially once I got to know the crew. Getting 

along with the people behind-the-scenes is important... you 

are opening up and sharing so much, it’s nice to make that connection. 

However, I don’t think my husband ever got too comfortable in 

front of the camera, and was a bit more reserved than me.” 

Paola publicly shared her heartbreak of losing a pregnancy, and 

overcoming that pain. 

“Going through that experience, I did not know it was too common 

because not everybody communicates freely about it. When 

something like this happens - you lose dreams, hopes, and everything 

you think the future will look like after having a baby. For me 

being able to show it on television... there were so many women 

that reached out to me and expressed they dealt with the same difficulty, 

that I definitely don’t regret recording it. It wasn’t easy, and 

took time to heal.” 

Paola and her husband Russ persevered, and now share a fouryear-old 

son named Axel, to whom they are tremendously devoted 

parents. His birth was captured on Season 4 of the spin-off show, 90 

Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? 

“As far as having more children, I am obsessed with the idea of 

adopting. We are in a really good position right now, but it’s a process 

we need to research and be very informed about. I’m not saying 

I won’t have another kid on my own, but I’m focused on my 

career at the moment, which requires me to be very physical.” 

In 2021 Russ and Paola temporarily split, while attending counseling 

to try and strengthen their marriage. 

“My husband and I made the decision to live in an RV, and the 

idea was to travel - although that didn’t happen too much. So, we 

were stuck in a small space and always on top of each other. We 

decided to take some time apart to fix our relationship and find solutions 

to the issues. We are back together and recently got a fresh 

start in Orlando, and are enjoying it a lot.” 

A notable spark of contention on 90 Day Fiancé, was Paola’s 

friend Juan, who was shown often at odds with Russ. 

“Juan and I stopped talking. I really thought he was someone who 

was always just joking, but all of those jokes had become hurtful. 

Sometimes the people you think are your friends don’t have the 

best intentions for you. I did recently talk to him though, because 

I have learned not to hold grudges. We are all human and deserve 

second chances, although once broken - it might not be the same 

relationship you had before.” 

Paola and Russ appeared on 90 Day: Foody Call, the latest spin-off 

from the popular franchise, streaming on Discovery Plus. The couples 

invite viewers into their kitchens as they prepare meals from 

their home countries, all while answering questions from their fanbase. 

Paola created a vegan dish and she spoke about what led her 

to embrace that lifestyle. 

“I have been in the United States now for about ten years. After 

two or three years of my husband attempting to make me try what 

I considered to be exotic foods, I didn’t want to be guessing anymore 

what kind of meat I was eating. So I started changing my diet, 

and became vegetarian when I was living in Oklahoma City. I then 

changed to pescatarian because I love shrimp ceviche and missed 

it, but soon after decided to go the whole way and became vegan. 

I am highly against animal cruelty, and will not wear any animal 

products either.” 

The switch to veganism jump-started a new enthusiasm for her wellbeing, 

which has branched off and spurred new professional endeavors. 

“When I moved here I gained quite a bit of weight. I was in 

a world where I didn’t have friends, didn’t have much to do, and 

couldn’t get a job... so I had time to put myself into a new diet routine, 

and learned how to stay healthy. At the beginning, I was not 

able to run for five seconds, and now I just ran five miles in less than 

an hour. My husband saw all the changes, and suggested I become 

a personal trainer. After we moved to Miami, I got my fitness coaching 

license and started taking clients one-on-one, and then online 

because I really love it and can actually help others.” 

Recently, Mayfield took that passion for fitness and reinvented 

herself as “Paola Blaze,” pro-wrestler, winning the Atomic Revolutionary 

Wrestling Championship shortly after her debut. 

“I saw the movie Fighting with My Family, which is about a girl 

I admire a lot, Paige (two-time WWE Divas Champion), and was 

able to really see what wrestling was about. I thought maybe it was 

something for me to try, because I knew I had the energy, motivation, 

athleticism, and I’m not afraid to take a hit - so I felt like... bring 

it on. I began training with JB Cool in Miami before the pandemic 

and worked extremely hard. It has been two years since I became 

a wrestler, and know I have what it takes to go all the way. I started 

out as “Paola Blaze,” which sounds very cool, but I want to be 

known just as “Paola” now - and until I accomplish all the goals set 

for myself in this new adventure, I don’t want to be done.” 

Mayfield conveyed a desire to develop her own line of wrestling 

gear in the near future. 

“The person I asked to make my outfits was taking too long, so I 

took it into my own hands. I have experience in fashion as a shoe designer, 

and knew that I could dress myself in exactly what I wanted.” 

Fans will soon have another chance to watch Paola compete on, 

The GOAT, scheduled to premiere on Amazon Freevee in late 2023. 

The Daniel Tosh hosted series involves reality television legends 

from various networks, and is sure to be filled with drama. 

“We filmed in a mansion in Atlanta, Georgia. I am so happy to 

have met all the amazing participants that made up the cast - including 

people from Survivor, Vanderpump Rules, and Shahs of Sunset. 

It involves physical and mental challenges, and has a big prize 

at the end... I cannot wait for everyone to see it.” 

Recently Paola amassed over one million followers on Instagram, 

where she invites the public into an intimate display of her everyday 

activities. While this milestone shows how far she has come, 

celebrities - especially those on unscripted shows - take the brunt 

of negativity when it comes to comments online. 

“Sometimes I want to stay away from social media, because people 

make comments about things I’m not going to change - like the 

way I dress or what I wear to the pool, and it gets exhausting. It’s 

not too intense right now because I’m not showing my life on TV 

like I used to. This may go back again when the next show airs.” 

Paola looks forward to launching a new fitness app at some point 

this year, and says her evolution is far from over. 

“I’m not getting any younger, so I will keep going as long as I can. 

I am always working on myself, because you can always change and 

get better... but you can’t please everyone.”

SILVERBALL REtro ARCADE 

Having Fun 

Was Never This Easy 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

If you think fun and games are for kids, think again. The Silverball 

Retro Arcade in the heart of Delray Beach, has captured the 

hearts of old-timers, young people and everything in between. 

Outside this homage to boardwalk history is a mélange of 

highs and lows (depending on the day). But once inside 

this cozy two-level arcade are games, food, music, dancing 

and 14 TV screens. 

It’s impossible not to smile and laugh at the foibles of your own 

dexterity (or lack of it) and competition with loved ones and friends. 

With over 100 GAMES on free play in this two story time MACHIne, 

people of all AGES can lose themselves in tHE MAGIC of Silverball 


“What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! The staff greets you with a 

smile, the games were in great shape and the skee-ball was so much 

fun. The second floor had more games; the bar, the food and the staff 

were friendly and helpful. We had the BEST time,” said one guest. 

There is a reason for all the 5-star reviews that permeate the 

premises. Inside the 9,000-square-foot space is an arcade with over 

200 Retro Pinball machines, Arcade Games, Skee-Ball, Video games, 

table shuffleboard, Foosball and more. 

And, you don’t have to look for quarters, it’s pay-one-price for an 

hour, ½ day, or a full day. The games are always on and there is no 

need to spend time getting them ready to start up. The prices are 

reasonable and there is a retro bar-restaurant with really good food. 

That may also account for the fact that they are booking holiday 

parties now for 2024 and beyond. 

“This year is a record year for special events and fundraisers. 

Last year people were getting into the swing of things again, and 

this year is exceeding all expectations for specialty events” said 

their superstar manager Dayna DiDomenico. 

Last month they had 13 events scheduled in one week. The reason 

is simply that birthday parties, non-profits, Bar and Mat Mitz-

Fun for all ages, each game is on 

free play for your enjoyment! 

The original Coney Island Skeeball games are great to test your 

competitive skills with friends and family. What’s your high score? 

Delicious Boardwalk treats for 

tHE whole family to enjoy! 

vahs, weddings, corporate parties and other celebratory events are 

more fun when you have so much to be happy about. 

They also have a great fundraising promotion. “You can buy our 

$20 all-day passes and keep 50% of the profit for your organization. 

It’s a no-risk option for school fundraising, clubs, teams and 

non-profits. It’s a joy to give back and work with the community,” 

said DiDomenico. 

When your feet get tired of all the action, you can saunter over to 

the vintage bar and lounge and dine on upscale food at moderate 

prices. There is a Happy Hour daily from 4 to 7 (Monday to Friday) 

with half-price drinks and a $7 food menu. They also have a daily 

$10 Menu with Quesadillas on Monday, Nacho Tuesdays, Pizza 

Wednesdays and Burgers on Thursdays. 

Their all-day menu includes fresh juicy burgers, fish and chips, 

wings, meatball parmesan appetizers, pizza, nachos and more. 

There are also cocktails to top off the day or night. 

They also elevated their catering menu to include pasta dishes, 

vegetarian options, roasted veggies, chicken parm, eggplant parm, 

meatball sliders and more. Along with dessert catering platters of 

homemade cookies, or mini-cannoli platters to satisfy your sweet 

tooth. Their head chef John has an illustrious past with excellent 

restaurants. The best part is that the food is fresh and high quality. 

When you’ve finished filling up your tank (your stomach) it’s 

time to indulge in all the fun that abounds. There are two floors of 

wizardry and gaming. 

There are vintage pinball machines from the 30’s or newer ones 

like Star Wars, The Mandalorian or Star Trek. There is the Creature 

from the Blue Lagoon, The Hobbit, The Addams Family Gold 

Edition and Mortal Kombat. Some of the newer machines include 

Godzilla and Guns N’ Roses. 

There is Hoop Fever (free throw basketball), air hockey, a juke 

box, signed guitars from luminaries such as Tom Petty and a second-floor 

dance floor with disco ball. 

They also have 14 flat screen TV screens and a large projector 

overhead – on the second floor – that can broadcast sporting 

events. “If there is something people want to watch on TV like a 

tennis match, basketball playoffs, baseball or football games, we 

will try to accommodate requests to the best of our ability,” adds 

DiDomenico. 

The second floor is where the action continues. There is a dance 

floor, a bar made from a ship with 7 flat screen TV’s, air hockey 

and pinball machines. 

Both sides of the top floor have an array of seating available, 

Foosball Table, Vintage Pinball machines, a Vintage Juke Box and 

the world’s longest Shuffle Board Table waxed for smooth sailing 

and scoring. 

To add to the entertainment, there’s a DJ on Friday and Saturday 

nights from 10 pm to 2am and a new dance floor to try out 

your dance moves. 

The new games are interactive and have technology that records 

your highest score. Come in and play their “Game of the Month,” it’s 

as easy as filling out a form at the front desk. The winner gets a free 

all-day pass at the end of the month. 

Silverball just added a Senior Day every Monday. For $15 you can

PRICE FLOORING 

Unveiling Their New 

State-Of-The-Art Showroom 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

Price flooring has always welcomed customers with open arms. But 

now they are welcoming everyone into their new spacious modern 

showroom with a welcome mat designed to make you feel at home. 

COPYRIGHTED 

This upbeat light airy space is easy to shop and is a beautiful 

homage to flooring (for every room in your house). They also 

make another promise to all who enter. “We are a business, 

and there’s always someone from the Price family to welcome you 

into our store at all times,” said Nicole Price. 

Price flooring is known for their excellent service and welcoming 

greetings to all who enter. They are fully staffed with cheerful 

upbeat people who will help you with design and selection of flooring 

or accent tiles. But, the excitement over this total renovation 

has made shopping at Price Flooring a real pleasure. The sliding 

racks and easy to see displays with overhead lighting make this 

flooring store feel like an art gallery of flooring. The Price family 

has taken state-of-the-art flooring to an artform. And everyone is 

happy about that. 


“WOW!! I went to price flooring and was delightfully surprised 

from the moment I walked in, to the end of the job. We redid the 

flooring throughout the house. The price they gave me was way below 

the outside contractor’s price and other competitors,” said one 

happy customer. 

Their motto has always been, “From the moment you walk 

through our doors, walk on your new floors, Price is right for you.” 

Customers agree. “When you walk in the store, the owners and 

employees greet you. It’s family-owned and the employees have 

worked there a long time. That tells you about the integrity of ownership, 

quality of product and care for their employees and their 

customers.” 

Ray Price has been in the flooring business for 36 years and has 

the ability to buy flooring in large quantities and offer special prices 

to customers. Right now, Price Flooring is running one of their biggest 

sales of the year. This spectacular sale includes luxury waterproof 

vinyl flooring with great warranties. These luxury floors look 

exactly like wood, stone, or marble, but are easier to keep clean and 

maintain. Styles range from rustic to modern, transitional, and contemporary. 

“Our selection is unbelievable and so is the shopping 

experience,” said Nicole. 

They also have beautiful American-made waterproof laminate 

flooring that is robust and simulates woods and insular forms of 

Mother Nature. If you think that laminate is not for you, think again. 

This luxury waterproof laminate flooring is much more durable 

and authentic looking. They’re also family and pet friendly! 

The new Price Flooring showroom has a large selection of decorative 

mosaic tiles as well. These smaller unique tiles are dispersed 

throughout the new spacious layout of the store. Colors and texture 

abound - perfect for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom showers, 

accent walls and swimming pools. They’re available in glass, tile, 

stone and porcelain in all colors, sizes and designer patterns. 

If you are looking for floor tile, head over to Price Flooring for 

a complete selection of tiles in all the latest colors and sizes. They 

have tile imported from all over the world and flooring made in 

the USA “We bring in the most up-to-date designer- inspired tiles 

and flooring. We also offer the newest colors, trends and decorative 

tiles,” said Nicole. The larger tiles, according to Nicole, give you a 

grandeur look with minimal grout lines and provide you with low 

maintenance. It is easy to see all the new tile selections, colors and 

patterns in their elegant sliding panel displays that make shopping 

a breeze. But, Nicole and Ray want you to know that you are never 

alone in this pursuit of home décor elegance. “We are fully staffed 

with people to help you with design and selection of flooring. We 

have an Awesome Staff – that are educated and able to be your design 

consultants on the spot. They will help you make the right decision 

for the right product in the right space.” 

Nicole encourages people to bring in pictures of their existing 

bathroom so they can help you design your new bathroom or update 

an older one. 

On the softer side of flooring Price has carpets in all colors and 

designs. From plush carpets to textured ones, they come in all colors 

and design. They have a very large comprehensive carpet selection 

from Shaw, as well as Mohawk and Masland carpet. You can 

get an area rug to match your room’s color scheme, or wall to wall 

carpet to soften your earthly footsteps. 

They also have their own professional installers that are insured 

and licensed and take good care of customers. Their customers 

are happy about that. “Price installers showed up early the day 

scheduled. They worked until 6pm every day. Everyone was polite, 

knowledgeable and trustworthy; and they finished ahead of schedule. 

I have redone many houses and this was the best experience I 

have ever had. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and 

family. I will be spreading the news!!” 

Everyone is also raving about the wonderful selection and display 

of bathroom tile for floors, walls and decorative trim. They 

added a room designated for bathrooms. There you can see different 

size and format tiles to make it easier to decide what you like. 

“Our bathroom selection is above and beyond when it comes to diversity 

of color and texture,” said Nicole. 

This new and exciting palace of flooring is more hands- on and 

meshes with the harmony and helpfulness you need when updating 

your home or condo. The Price family welcomes you with 

open arms amidst their new exciting store that highlights the best 

in flooring, kitchen and bathroom tile, wall tiles, outdoor tile and 

decorative accent tiles. 

Come in for hot popcorn or flooring advice and say hello to the 

Price Family - the Flooring experts! They’re waiting for you.

ALLYSON SULLIVAN 

A Realtor With Passion 

For Delray History! 

By Diane Feen | photos by Jad Esmail 

Allyson Sullivan has been called a South Florida Real Estate 

Rockstar by her clients. Not only has she accumulated 

accolades that would fill up a ballroom, but she also 

donates her time and resources to help those in need. 

If you listen to her clients, they cannot say enough good things 

about her. Most are in awe of her ability to make a deal go 

through in the most competitive marketplace (Delray Beach) 

and others are comforted by her “stand by my client” reverie. 

Sullivan has worked as a Realtor in Delray Beach for the past 21 

years and has earned her place in the pantheon of perfection by 

those who know her. “Allyson’s follow through and follow-up have 

always been impressive, but buying a home in today’s cutthroat 

market is where she really shines. She was on top of every detail, 

she got the answers to questions before we even knew to ask them. 

She made sure our offer was competitive and sold us to the seller. If 

you want a great house and you don’t want any headaches, Allyson 

and her team at Lang are the way to go,” said Alison Corin. 

Currently Sullivan has been immersed in the history and heritage 

of historic homes in Delray. Not only that, she has been selling them 

to clients who revere this style of architecture. Her client roster and 

demand for these historical homes has also escalated. Especially 

since this time-honored architecture is becoming rather extinct in 

South Florida. “I really enjoy selling historic homes in Delray and 

my success in doing so has been rewarding. We are restoring the 

history and relevance of Delray at its finest hour,” said Sullivan. 


Sullivan currently has three distinct historic homes for sale. Her 

newest listing is a house built in 1947 with the architectural moniker 

of Streamline Moderne. “This home is unlike anything you have 

ever seen,” she said. The reason for Sullivan’s exuberance is because 

the home sits on a double corner lot in the Del Ida Historic District. 

It was completely redone, yet skillfully designed to emulate the 

craftsmanship and finishes of its glory days. The home underwent a 

full renovation by local Delray builder, RTG Construction and has all 

the amenities of a modern luxury home. It is a prime location, and 

you can walk to Pineapple Grove, Atlantic Avenue, the local farmers 

market, the beach and shopping. 

Sullivan has also been chosen to represent the sale of a historic 

intracoastal waterway home on Marine Way. The 3-bedroom, twobathroom 

home was built in 1935 and comes with a one bedroom, 

one bathroom cottage. Included in the sale are plans for a renovation 

to restore the home to its original roots with a modern flair. 

The marine area will be restored by the city of Delray and includes 

raising the seawall and improving the street with pavers and landscaping. 

“This will make Marine Way one of the nicest waterfront 

streets with the best location!” said Sullivan. 

Her third historic home listing is known as the “The Acheson 

Estate.” It is the first time this house has ever been for sale. It is 

COPYRIGHTED

one of the last large estate homes on Delray’s premier North Swinton 

Avenue. It has a white picket fence, long driveway, spacious 

468-square-foot detached garage, and a 792-square-foot detached 

guest cottage. The cottage has one-bedroom, full kitchen, living 

room and fireplace. The house has lush native Florida foliage, a 

beautiful banyan tree and mango trees. The lot is nearly ¾ of an 

acre (100 ft x 275 ft) and the home was built in 1935. The Plantation 

style Estate exudes “Old Delray Charm” with a classic wood 

frame and large screened-in back porch made of cypress wood. 

The first floor features a large living and dining room with original 

floors and high ceilings with dramatic mahogany detail. “The 

Mahogony was brought to Delray on a boat from the Bahamas by 

Mr. Acheson himself!” 

If you want to harken back to a time of innocence with a Southern 

flair, these historic homes will lead you there. There is an inherent 

sense of peace, serenity, and tranquility within each of them. 

Come see these historic homes and luxuriate in the goodness and 

sacredness of Delray’s historic esteemed roots. 

As her clients say, “If you want a great home and a greater experience 

call Allyson Sullivan!” They also call her top notch! “If you 

want someone who works hard and does not stop until your home 

is sold, Allyson is your realtor! I had a short timeline to sell my 

house and I was very nervous, but she calmed my nerves and said 

‘we can do this!’ And we did!”

Dr. John R. Pasqual 

The Expert In Oral 

And Facial Surgery 

By nicol jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

With over 20 years of experience, Dr. John R. Pasqual specializes in 

all surgery of the mouth and facial-complex, from wisdom teeth, and 

dental implants to facial trauma and reconstructive surgery. 

When looking for a dental specialist and surgeon who is 

trusted and experienced in oral and facial reconstruction, 

Dr. John R. Pasqual continues to be a top recommendation. 

Pasqual Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, located in Delray Beach for over 

12 years, offers only the highest quality technology such as laser surgery 

and Three-Dimensional Scans for the betterment of their patients. 

“The practice focuses on oral surgery and rehabilitation, dental 

implants, oral pathology, cancer screenings, facial trauma and reconstructive 

surgery of the mouth and the face,” said Dr. Pasqual. 

“We have added laser-assisted surgery to our practice; it is less 

traumatic and gentler to the surrounding tissues, less pain after 

surgery and less downtime. The goal of providing advanced technology 

and procedures is for better healing and decreased discomfort 

for our patients.” 

Dr. Pasqual’s staff is trained in IV sedation within their state-ofthe-art 

office, which offers private rooms and a relaxing setting for 

each patient. They have recently incorporated lasers in the practice 

for surgical cases, which is less painful and provides for faster recovery 

times. The office is also utilizing Platelet Rich Fibrin to accelerate 

the healing of soft and hard tissue. 


“Pasqual Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is different from many dental 

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

patients’ physical as well as emotional wellbeing,” said Dr. Pasqual. 

The center utilizes only the best diagnostic equipment including 

i-CAT 3D imaging which produces precise high-definition 3D scans 

of your entire mouth, face and skull so an accurate treatment plan 

may be established. Dr. Pasqual’s office is one of the few centers 

that utilize this advanced technology that greatly benefits each 

patient because of its accuracy. They also offer a procedure called 

NightLase, which is a laser treatment used to decrease the frequency 

of snoring at night and improve patient’s airways to sleep better. 

Other offerings include: Botox and facial fillers, dental implants, 

wisdom teeth, oral rehabilitation, and utilizing laser for facial aesthetics 

to decrease scaring, wrinkles, and sun spots with minimal 

downtime and discomfort. Dr. Pasqual’s experience in the only surgical 

specialty of dentistry gives him an edge over many. 

In fact, oral and maxillofacial surgery requires years of hospitalbased 

surgical and medical training after graduation from dental 

school. John R. Pasqual, D.M.D., P.A. is a board-certified oral and 

maxillofacial surgeon and fellow of the American Association of 

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, as well as fellow of the American 

College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. He is a graduate and 

graduating class President of the University of Pittsburgh School 

of Dental Medicine. Dr. Pasqual received post-graduate training 

in surgery as well as anesthesia at Case Western Reserve University, 

MetroHealth Medical Center, a level I trauma center located in 

Cleveland, Ohio where he served as chief resident. 

Dr. Pasqual has many accolades and gives back in other areas of 

his life, including being the past President of the Palm Beach County 

Dental Association, as well as the Atlantic Coast District Dental Association. 

He is the former Chairman of the Bethesda Hospital Foundation, 

and past member of Bethesda Hospital East and West Board of 

Directors. Dr. Pasqual is a former clinical associate professor at the 

University of Florida as well as Temple University. He was inducted 

into the Pierre Fauchard Academy, an international honor society 

recognizing excellence in his specialty. In addition, he is a Trustee 

to the Florida Dental Association, former Delegate to the ADA and 

COPYRIGHTED

prior committee member on the FDA Council for Dental Education 

and Licensure. Dr. Pasqual supports the Mission of Mercy through 

the FDA to provide health care for underserved individuals in Palm 

Beach County who can’t afford to have dental treatment. 

His expertise hasn’t gone unnoticed… His patients come from 

Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Jupiter, Miami and really from all over the 

world. Dr. Pasqual has even treated many celebrities, world- renowned 

musicians, athletes and other high-profile patients. 

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

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

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

care anywhere in the world choose my office,” said Dr. Pasqual. 

Whether it’s a dental implant, complete oral rehabilitation, or facial 

reconstruction, Dr. Pasqual finds an inner reward in helping his 

patients look and feel their best. 

“If I could give Dr. Pasqual and his staff 10 stars, I would! This 

was my first time ever having any type of surgery done (wisdom 

teeth) and my experience was A+. Everyone is very informative and 

friendly. The office is extremely clean and well organized. It was the 

most relaxing, painless procedure. I barely felt any pain afterwards. 

I would recommend Dr. Pasqual to all my friends and family members 

for any future work,” stated a client.

A Fantasy Trip 

Around Ring Road 

The entire country is about the size of Maine, but with volcanoes, 

icebergs, mountains, black sand beaches, and majestic 

fjords, there is much to see and savor. The sea in all its colors 

and turbulence is always steps away. 

To see Iceland at its best, take the Ring Road. This is a circumference 

road that circles the entire country. By renting a car, or for 

those who wish more adventure by renting a camper, you can take 

the Ring Road around the island and catch the true flavor, cuisine, 

cities, farms, and people in all their splendor. 

I recommend you take the Ring Road counterclockwise for 

two reasons. One, you will be traveling the most beautiful parts 

of the country first giving you the option to stay in a place longer. 

You may not have the time if you wait until the end of your trip. 

Two, you run counter to most of the tourist and will encounter 

less congestion. 

Renting a 4X4 will give you access to the entire country, especially 

if you want to make a side trip off the Ring Road. If you camp, 

there are campgrounds in every town and city at a nominal cost.

Whatever you’ve heard, whatever you’ve read, whatever pictures or 

videos you’ve seen, they cannot capture the raw, stunning beauty of 

Iceland. The best time to visit is the summer and the breathtaking 

countryside is just outside of Reykjavik, the capital city.

COPYRIGHTED

though, with permission, some farmers will allow ‘overnighting’ 

for a fee - but it is essential, and etiquette demands, you get permission 

first. If you don’t camp, there are lovely hotels and inns at 

every juncture on the Ring Road. 

When hiking in Iceland you can cross glacier fields, even in 

summer, with Shangri- La vistas of enchanted valleys and spectacular 

mountain ranges, unworldly to Florida eyes. Rugged 

mountain trails can often lead to isolated crystal-cold pristine 

waterfalls, over ice caps, or through green lush, mountain meadows 

with views that stun. Nowhere on earth will you see volcanoes 

and the wild sea, thermal pools, and an almost bare lunar 

landscape just miles apart. 

On the south coast approximately 6 miles west of the town of 

Vik is Dyrholaey (deer-lay) on Ring Road. From the high plateau 

above the ocean you will find towering black basalt obelisks that 

have withstood the petulant sea. 

The cliffs at Dyrholaey are home to the colorful Atlantic Puffin 

- with luck you will see one waddle across the sea-sky and come 

to rest close by on the cliffs. The colorful top-heavy Puffin is too 

heavy to fly, but doesn’t know it. They feed on the rich sea life, doing 

their unique flying waddle as their gull cousins slash over the 

waves or sail high above the rugged cliffs. 

In Vik, just a short walk from the downtown shops and gas stations 

is the long and broad black, volcanic sand beach. Caution 

needs to be exercised here. The waves are unpredictable and have 

fatally latched on to a victim or two. There are wonderful short 

day and half-day hikes in the heights above Vik and its beach. 

The national park system in Iceland is breathtaking and something 

Icelanders are truly proud of. One of the largest National 

Parks in Europe is Vatnajokull National Park which was formed 

from two earlier parks to preserve an icecap. The hiking here is 

spectacular. 

Heading further around the Ring Road on the north coast is the 

city of Akureyri where whale watching tours can be arranged. 

While traveling the Ring Road, every few miles there is another 

scenic wonder. There are many scenic jewels and towns to visit as 

one makes the circuit around Iceland. 

Completing the Ring Road circle, you enter the capital, Reykjavik.The 

city is sophisticated and charming, easy to navigate with 

great restaurants and fine shopping. It has all the amenities of any 

capital in Europe without the congestion or pollution. It is a gem 

on this island nation.

SAFETY TIPS FOR TRAVELING IN ICELAND 

Iceland is not sunny south Florida and there are essential words 

of caution for the traveler. Do not be lulled into complacency. The 

weather and other conditions in Iceland can be treacherous, but if 

you exercise caution your trip will be a once in a lifetime experience 

to a land of raw, untouched beauty. 

The wind of Iceland is dangerous an unpredictable. Weather 

conditions, even during the best of the summer months, can 

change with no warning and became treacherous. The velocity of 

the wind on a cliffside fjord can carry one off a cliff, and hypothermia 

at upper elevations can take a hiker’s life. 

Tourists from warmer climates need to be aware and take necessary 

precautions. Before setting out on a hike or trip always 

check the weather and road conditions. There is a nationwide 

emergency number in English (112) available 24 hours a day. 

There is also a weather phone number and website in English 

with on-going weather reports and alerts. When hiking, stay on 

designated paths - warning signs are sparse in the country and a 

fall while off trail can lead to an injury, or worse. It is easy to get 

lost and a night stranded in the mountains can be fatal. Always, 

hike with a partner, never alone. 

Vegetation grows slowly in Iceland and the environment in this 

sub-artic country is fragile. It takes many years to build up substantial 

growth and Icelanders are careful of it. 

There are many thermal pools in Iceland. Some are dangerous, 

often not marked as hazardous. The wrong thermal pool can severely 

burn. 

Respect the Icelandic ocean, it can pull you from the shore with 

a surprise killer wave that can sweep you into the unforgiving, 

freezing sea. 

When traveling in the outback, register your itinerary with 

SafeTravel.Is. If you become lost, rescue can be arranged. It is 

smart to let this service know where you are going. 

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and road washouts are Icelandic 

facts of life. Check road and safety conditions in the area you 

are traveling. Travel advisories are always on TV - also, check the 

website or call the weather number. 

If you follow these simple rules your summer travel to Iceland 

will bring you memories of a beautiful nation with open, warm 

friendly people, who live surrounded by the power and forces of 

nature. A declaration of their indomitable, Icelandic Viking spirit.

This Month in History 

Looking Back 

juLY in History 

By Lewis David 

Looking back at important dates that 

took place in the month of July both 

here in America and across the globe. 

July 1st, 1863 and 1867 

• The Battle of Gettysburg, one of the pivotal battles of the 

American Civil War, begins. 

• Canada Day, a national holiday in Canada, is commemorated 

when the confederation of Upper and Lower Canada were united 

to become the Dominion of Canada. 

July 2nd, 1881 and 1964 

• President James A. Garfield was 

shot and wounded as he entered a 

railway station in Washington D.C. 

The wound would prove fatal, and 

he would die a few months later on 

September 19th. 

• The Civil Rights Act of 1964 

was signed by President Lyndon 

B. Johnson, which would prohibit 

discrimination most notably in the field 

of voter registration, paving the way for 

African Americans to gain equal footing in elections. 

July 4th, 1776 

• The Continental Congress officially approved the Declaration 

of Independence, signaling their desire for independence from the 

British Empire. Today it is celebrated as a national holiday in the 

United States. 


• The Continental Congress adopted the Olive Branch Petition 

in an effort to reconcile with the British Empire. However, King 

George III refused to receive the letter 

and proclaims the American 

colonists to be in an open 

state of rebellion.

• French chemist Louis 

Pasteur successfully 

provides the first inoculation 

against rabies to a 

young boy who had been 

bitten by a rabid dog. 

76 | July july 2023 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com


• A resolution is signed by President William McKinley officially 

annexing Hawaii. Two years later it would be incorporated into the 

U.S. as a territory and over 50 years later it would become a state. 


• The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution is 

ratified. The amendment served to define U.S. citizenship and 

prevent states from limiting citizenship on a discriminatory basis. 

It also barred those who partook in the Confederate rebellion 

during the Civil War from holding public office. 


• The largest tank battle in history, the Battle of Kursk, takes 

place during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. The result of the 

battle was a Soviet victory and was the final strategic offensive the 

Germans were able to launch in the East, as the Allied invasion of 

Sicily would divert Hitler’s attention. 


• Congress enacts the 

Northwest Ordinance, which 

outlined the procedures 

for turning the territories 

into a state. It would be 

this ordinance that led 

to the establishment of 

five states in the area 

north of the Ohio River. 

It also made clear that the 

new states would be equal 

with the original 13. 

COPYRIGHTED 

July 10th, 1943 and 1991 

• The amphibious invasion of the island of Sicily marked the 

first Allied invasion of Europe against the Axis forces. Dwight D. 

Eisenhower would call the invasion “the first page in the liberation 

of the European Continent.” 

• The first popularly elected leader in Russia’s thousand-year 

history is elected in the form of Boris Yeltsin as he took his oath of 

office. 


• French citizens march on the Bastille, signaling the beginning 

of the French Revolution and plunging Europe into almost three 

decades of conflict and political turmoil. 

www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com | july JUly 2023 | 77


• In the First World War, Germany launched their last major 

offensive during the Battle of the Marne. Following their repulsion 

at the hands of American, British, and Italian forces, the Germans 

would not launch another offensive, eventually agreeing to an 

armistice in November. 

July 16th, 1945 and 1969 

• The experimental bomb “Fat Boy” was set off in the New 

Mexican desert. The atomic bomb created a mushroom cloud that 

rose above 40,000 feet and emitted heat three times to temperature 

of the sun, annihilating all plant and animal life in a mile radius. 

• The Apollo 11 Lunar Landing mission begins with its liftoff 

from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 

78 | july July 2023 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 


• President Truman signs an executive order determining 

the line of succession should a president die in office or become 

incapacitated. This would eventually become the 25th Amendment 

that was ratified in 1967. 


• The world watched 

as U.S. astronaut Neil 

Armstrong took man’s 

first step on the moon. 

As he stepped on the 

surface of the moon 

he said, “That’s one 

small step for man, 

one giant leap for 

mankind.” 

COPYRIGHTED 

July 21st, 1898 

• Following the Spanish- 

American War, the territory 

of Guam was ceded to the 

United States from Spain.


• At the Potsdam Conference in Germany, Winston Churchill, 

Harry Truman, and Chiang Kai-Shek announced the Potsdam 

Declaration, calling for the unconditional surrender of Japan. The 

Japanese, unaware of America’s new nuclear arsenal, rejected it. 


• The U.S. Army begins to desegregate its training 

camo facilities, marking the first step towards battlefield 

integration. However, the official order from the president 

would not come until 4 years later. 


• The Korean War comes to an end following the signing of 

an armistice by U.S. and North Korean delegates. The armistice 

remains in effect today. 

COPYRIGHTED 


• The world’s first overseas airplane flight was completed by 

Louis Bleriot, who flew a small monoplane over the English Channel 

from France to England. 

July 31st, 1790 

• The U.S. Patent Office opened for the first time. The first 

patent ever issued was signed by George Washington and Thomas 

Jefferson.

Mimi Haley Meister 

regulars | city people 

Mimi Haley Meister is a woman of many talents. 

Her magic potion is based on the concept of 

connectivity and community and her higher 

power is one of goodness. 

That is one reason she has raised the profile (and 

profits) of many non-profit organizations. She is 

also a treasure chest of goodness bundled within 

a perfectly coiffed persona. When Meister walks into a 

room sparks fly and she becomes the center of attention. 

This is not her motive or her message, but trying to 

bottle the essence of this woman is like trying to capture 

a sunset in a plastic bag. “I am all about empowering 

others. No matter whose idea it is, you want to make 

sure the team owns it. The quieter you are the louder 

you are heard.” 

If this is truly the case then Meister is a whisper in the 

windstorm of life. She was born in New Haven, Connecticut 

but moved around with her family to Mentor, Ohio, 

Wheaton, Illinois and finally Wilmington, Delaware. Her 

father, John J. Haley Jr. was in fiber sales and took his 

family with him as he climbed the corporate ladder. 

Meister calls her upbringing traditional, and is quite 

vocal about the influence of her parents and the schools 

she attended. “I went to Catholic schools my whole life 

and part of going to a Catholic school means giving back 

to the community and fundraising for the school.” 

Her parents also echoed the same sentiment. “Make 

sure you give back,” they told her repeatedly. 

Those words did not fall on deaf ears. Meister has 

been giving back ever since she came to Florida in 1984. 

When she was in the Boca Junior League she would 

throw parties in her backyard and everyone had to 

bring a toy which was donated to charity. She also did 

fundraising for her daughter’s school, St. Vincent Ferrer. 

Meister used her talent of collaboration and connectivity 

to support other parents in her community. 

“I was friendly with all the other mothers in the area. 

We had fundraising events for our children’s schools 

and would meet, compare schedules, and attend each 

other’s events. These same women support my charity 

projects to this day.” 

Though Meister’s career started in retail, the trajectory 

of her life has been through the lens of building, creating 

and giving back to a cause greater than herself. She 

worked in the non-profit world for Kids in Distress and 

learned from the best brains in the fundraising arena. 

While she was on bedrest waiting to give birth to her 

daughter Haley, four different non-profit agencies called 

to hire her.

A Force For Good 

But she took a decidedly different path. As a matter of 

fact, her couch was the place where she gave birth twice. 

“A friend of mine called and said, ‘Now is your time 

to think about working on your own. I told her I am going 

to deliver a baby in a month. She said, ‘You’re so dynamic 

you should work with charities.’ So, I called the 

president of Kids in Distress and told him I was going to 

start my own company and he became my first client.” 

She named her company Charity Dynamics & Auctions 

and hasn’t looked back since. Her networking 

skills are monumental and her charisma rivals FPL’s 

power grid. 

At the last “We are Delray” event for the Delray Chamber 

she brought in a helicopter that dropped golf balls 

onto the course. Tickets were sold to win a free helicopter 

ride and the event raised triple the amount expected. 

That’s what is so amazing about Meister, everything 

she touches turns to gold. She is adamant that her 

events are a team effort – and many are – but it is Meister 

who motivates volunteers to create miracles. She’s 

also adept at getting the business community to partner 

up with charities to do good. 

“I tell non-profits, ‘You are not asking for money, you 

are giving them the gift of giving and feeling good.’” 

As anyone will tell you – giving in itself is a gift to the 

giver. For Meister this old adage couldn’t be more fitting. 

“I love watching fundraiser professionals’ eyes light 

up with their accomplishments. I love helping charities 

grow. I get a number high like a runners high. Give me 

a financial goal and I will shoot to beat it every time.” 

You bet she will. She did just that for the Delray Beach 

Public Library. She was a volunteer, founding member 

and vendor chair for the “Girls, Pearls, Hats and Heels” 

event. Meister was asked to bring in 10 vendors and 

raise $2,000; she brought in 28 vendors and raised over 

$12,000. The next year the team raised over $65,000. 

Meister has also volunteered at Old School Square, 

St. Vincent Ferrer, Be Like Brit, Bound for College 

and others. She’s on the Board (and does fundraising) 

for the local Notre Dame Club, and is an advisor 

and educator for the Non- Profit Council of the 

Delray Chamber. 

At St. Vincent’s she chaired - and grew - a yearly golf 

outing from 24 to 144 players, raising $60,000 a year. 

Meister also created fundraising events like Tea Parties

and Fashion Shows that raised eye popping amounts of money for them. 

What makes Meister such a key player in the city of Delray is her 

large network of volunteers, business partners and social savviness. 

When she attends events (which is quite often) Meister sparkles with 

graciousness, goodness and humor. Though she won’t admit to it, this 

Delray goddess of goodness is quite the brainiac. 

Those who know her agree. 

“Mimi Meister is a great visionary for the Chamber. She led the creation 

of our We Are Delray event last year and took us to a whole new 

level! Her ability to analyze the potential, and then execute an event to 

reach beyond that potential, makes her a rockstar for the Chamber. She 

has breathed confidence into our efforts, allowing our committees to 

dream big and succeed even BIGGER,” said Lynn Van Lenten, Program 

Director for the Delray Chamber. 

Others feel the same way. “Mimi supports all non-profits and makes everyone 

feel good for the mission, whether it’s St Vincents Ferrer School, 

OSS, The Delray Beach Public Library, Sandoway House or the Delray 

Chamber. We call her events the Friendraisers!” said Louise Glover. 

When not strategizing for non-profits or speaking to groups, Meister 

can be found traveling the globe with her husband Dan. If you visit her 

Facebook Page you can stay home and just see the world through her 

eyes (by way of her action-packed photos). 

Meister is also perfectly coiffed at all times and usually looks as if she 

just walked off the cover of “Vogue.” When asked about the origin of her 

stye savvy, she laughs and says, “I worked in fine retail stores and know 

how to take the traditional and make it modern.” 

Perhaps, but everyone who sees Meister at openings and events 

knows that her apparel palette is equal to that of a European aristocrat. 

She has hats to match each outfit and owns 23 pearl necklaces. 

But Meister’s outer appearance is only the entrance to her multilayer 

of diverse talents. She was professionally trained to create formal 

British tea parties and hosted one for over 100 women (at Chapel 4) for 

the Chamber’s “Focus on Women” event. Her esteemed tea parties are 

part of Meister’s charitable fundraising arm: Tea by the Sea With Mimi.” 

There isn’t much Meister can’t do well. But, she is adamant that life in 

Delray is about “Collaboration Not Competition.” 

She is indeed the queen of collaboration. But, Meister’s selfless deeds 

ripple through the Delray Beach terrain like a steady current, and her 

bright light steers everyone to the finish line in record time. 

That’s just the way she rolls.

brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 

4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the lettuce, scallions, and dill with 

the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and tablespoon oil, plus 

¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. If desired, grill pita bread until

BY Bill Piechocki 

What Are the Most Critical 

Approaches to A Healthy Pet? 

For many decades throughout my professional life, I have always 

asked myself what skills have I acquired that I can share with 

others in my service to the pet world. I am fortunate that my love 

and understanding of life, and my knowledge in physiology of animals 

allows me to share this understanding to help improve the overall 

health of our pets. 

The most frequent questions and concerns that pet parents have is 

the title of this article “What Are the Most Critical Approaches to A 

Healthy Pet? It is often asked in many other ways, however that is the 

implication. To proceed with the approaches, we must define what a 

healthy pet is. 

True health is when the body is in true homeostasis or balance as 

the result of proper nutrition, clean environment, and managed stress. 

In managing these factors, the most difficult task to control is the 

environmental factors, as we have little control outside of our immediate 

area. We cannot control the air around us but, in our homes, we 

can add specialized air purification systems and monitor the products 

we may be using. Volatile cleaners, deodorizers, antibacterial, insecticidal, 

and other chemical agents are not only toxic but contribute to 

the stress on the body. 

Proper nutrition is much easier to attain as the proper, most nutritious 

entrees are found in nature and can be replicated through our 

food supply. We must look at the physiology of our pet and understand 

what their species’ appropriate diet and entrees would be. We then 

must source the cleanest ingredients possible. As our dogs and cats 

are carnivores, that means the protein sources should be raised as 

naturally and cleanly as possible with no chemical interventions. The 

same holds true for their drinking water. Improper or unnaturally 

raised foods or added chemicals again stress the body. 

We must also be aware of toxins introduced with the perception of 

keeping us healthier. Vaccines, drugs and even synthetic supplements 

add to the toxicity and stress. 

As we look at these factors, we can be certain that it is not easy to 

achieve this perfect environment and diet for our pets or even ourselves. 

We understand the toxic assault that we all face every day. We 

can and must do whatever we can to reduce and eliminate these toxins. 

This is the most critical thing we must do. We have been blessed 

with the tools to do this. 

There is a plethora of natural herbs and botanical foods that can 

accomplish this detoxification process. The process involves cleaning 

the filtration system like our digestive tract, liver, kidneys, and 

lymphatic system. 

Starting with clean ionized living water, we can use milk thistle, dandelion 

root, echinacea, astragalus turmeric, chlorella, spirulina, cilantro, 

mushrooms and much more that not only draw the toxins out of 

the cells but also act as sponges so the body can eliminate them. These 

should be used in their most natural state as fresh or in a dry powder 

to eliminate further contamination through other processes. 

The body is designed to heal and regenerate itself and we must supply 

the tools to do this. 

This lifestyle of perpetual healthy practices and nutrition with the 

cleansing of the toxins will keep our pets and us in near optimal health 

with longevity being the beneficial side effect.
