FROM THE 

EDITOR 

WE HAVE NOW OPENED THE 

DOOR AND WALKED INTO 

TWENTY – TWENTY – FOUR!! 

This is the start of a new year, and with that usually comes New 

Year’s resolutions, so let’s begin with a Positive attitude that 

will bring endless potential, possibilities, and progress. 

A positive attitude could be all you need to help kick-start 

a new career or fitness regime, try a new hobby, join a class, learn a new 

skill, or plan for that long-awaited vacation. It doesn’t matter what this new 

year brings for you; if you head into any situation with a Positive attitude, 

the results will be better! 

“Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking.” — Zig Ziglar 

LISA MIZEN, EDITOR 

So now that all the hustle and bustle of the holidays has passed, it’s time to settle back into our routines. However, 

the daily norm can be seasoned with some fun times when you live in beautiful South Florida. Here in Delray Beach 

and surrounding areas some cool stuff is happening this January. Disenchanted, the fun-loving and definitely-not-forthe-kiddies 

musical will be presented again by Marcie Gorman and MNM Theatre Company at The Studio at Mizner 

Park from January 12th through January 21st. Or treat yourself to Boca Stage’s production with the 1960s French farce 

Boeing Boeing. Running from January 18th – 27th at the Delray Beach Playhouse. 

Alternatively, you could hit the Green Market or Art & 

Jazz on the Ave or enjoy a trip to our white sandy beaches 

with beautiful weather to warm your skin. 

You can read about Max Zengage, whose family has 

lived in Delray Beach for half a century! Max’s crowning 

achievement is bringing the Concours d’Elegance event to 

Delray Beach. This prestigious antique car show has a storied 

past and, up until three years ago, was not held in Delray. But 

Max had a dream, and when that happens, he focuses all his 

energy on turning every no into a yes. Positive thinking!!

See you next month and we can share the love!

Boca Stage to Present Boeing 

Boeing January 18 -27 at the 

Delray Beach Playhouse 

Boca Stage’s second production of the season will be the 1960’s 

French farce Boeing Boeing. The production will run from 

January 18th – 27th in the Cabaret Theater of the award-winning 

theatre company’s new home at the Delray Beach Playhouse. 

“After our virtually sold-out run of Wait Until Dark, for our second 

show we’re investing in straight comedy,” says Boca Stage 

producer and the show’s director, Keith Garsson. “Boeing Boeing 

has been re-translated and updated several times since its original 

incarnation in 1960. This play’s machinations ride on the ability 

of an American in Paris trying to keep all three of his internationally 

diverse flight attendant fiancées from discovering each other... 

when they all show up at his bachelor pad almost simultaneously. 

Tickets for Boeing Boeing range in price from $39 to $69 and are 

available online at delraybeachplayhouse.com or by calling 561- 

272-1281. All performances will take place at the Delray Beach

Delray Under $50 

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

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

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

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

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

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

CAFFE LUNA ROSA 

Happy New Year! While ringing in the New Year with music, 

glitter and dancing is a great way to celebrate, if you’re looking 

for a relaxing and enlightening way to enjoy the beginning 

of the New Year, turn to the beach. There’s just something super 

peaceful about watching the first sunrise of 2024, and a great 

way to think about what intentions and goals you’d like to set for 

yourself for the next 365. January is Celebration of Life Month and 

making the effort to connect with yourself and the planet can never 

be a bad idea. Neither can walking across the street to Caffe Luna 

Rosa for a glass of champagne to toast to the New Year. They open 

at 7 a.m. and feature both indoor and outdoor seating, but a spot 

at the cozy bar is always a great option. Start with a glass of prosecco 

($13), mimosa ($9) or even their fresh watermelon mimosa 

($15). If you’re hungry, you absolutely cannot go wrong with their 

Fresh Burrata and Avocado Toast, made of toasted challah bread 


topped with fresh burrata spread, sliced avocado, red onions over 

a bed of arugula with a side of heirloom tomatoes tossed in red 

wine vinegar and balsamic reduction for $21. Now that’s the best 

way to start the New Year! Caffe Luna Rosa is located at 34 S. Ocean 

Blvd. Please visit www.caffelunarosa.com or call (561) 274-9404 

for more information. 

WINTER GREENMARKET 

Give yourself a big pat on the back because you successfully 

lived through another holiday season. While the holidays are 

a great way to spend time with loved ones, it’s also a surefire 

way to wear yourself a little thin. Between the gifts, parties, EOY 

work projects, and traveling, the normal equilibrium of your life 

can get skewed. So, this January, which also happens to be Get a Balanced 

Life Month, it’s time to get your balance back. The best way 

to do that is to get some fresh air, sunshine and healthy food! For 

that, head down to the Winter GreenMarket. This open-air market 

features more than 60 premier food vendors boasting farm-to-fork 

produce, just-picked citrus, tropical fruit and juice, farm fresh eggs, 

artisan cheese and jams, fragrant baked goods, plenty of glutenfree, 

vegan and organic products, fresh cut flowers, plants and other 

unique gourmet fare, all along with live musical entertainment. 

COPYRIGHTED

The GreenMarket is held every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Old 

School Square, 51 N. Swinton Ave. So, make a plan to enjoy some 

weekend produce shopping, head home and whip up a fresh lunch, 

read a book, take a nap, and enjoy all the balance that January affords. 

Please visit www.delraycra.com or call (561) 276-7511 for 

more information and vendor details. 

35TH ANNUAL DOWNTOWN DELRAY FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS 

It’s time for a renewal! Or not, it’s fine to stay the same if that’s 

what makes you happiest. But if you want to refresh your home, 

refresh your outlook or refresh your weekend, then head to the 

35th Annual Downtown Delray Festival of the Arts. January is International 

Creativity Month and is the perfect time to get a little creative 

inspiration from some of the best artists and crafters around 

the country. Consistently ranked as one of the best art affairs in the 

U.S., this juried Festival boasts long-time favorite vendors on the contemporary 

arts scene. Visitors can expect to peruse booths featuring 

hand-crafted artwork including glass, photography, painting, mixed 

media, fiber, jewelry and much more. The Festival is held Saturday, 

January 13 and Sunday, January 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 104 

W. Atlantic Ave. (between Northwest Fifth Avenue and Swinton Avenue). 

The weather should be prime for your lovely one-mile artistic 

jaunt, and hopefully you’ll be able to soak up some creativity from 

the vendors, or even find a creative piece that speaks to you and tells 

you to take it home, reminding you to find creative outlets throughout 

the year. Please visit www.artfestival.com or call (561) 746-6615 

for more information. 

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY AT THE SQUARE 

Hey, self, howaya? If you haven’t checked in with your self 

in a while, the time is now. You’ve got a new year to look 

forward to and the person who is always going to be there 

with you and for you is your Self! January is Self Love Month and 

if you need an excuse to pamper yourself and check in on your inner 

being, go ahead and schedule yourself for Wellness Wednesday 

at The Square. These $5 healing classes include yoga, meditation 

and tai chi, and are meant to provide guests with a break in the 

middle of the day where they can connect with their community, 

quiet their mind and move their body. The schedule rotates, but the 

goal is always the same: showing yourself some love. Sure, lunch 

is a great mid-day activity, but this event will prove to be the best 

food for your soul. Classes are held at the Cornell Art Museum at 

Old School Square, 51 N. Swinton Ave., from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Registration 

is required (walk-ups not allowed) and tickets, which are 

non-refundable, must be presented at check-in. Please visit www. 

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

and to purchase tickets. 

LEMONGRASS 

If your blood type is ABV+, your skin is lacking its luster, and 

you are tripping without the usual pep-in-your-step after all 

the holiday festivities, it might be time to show yourself some 

chicken-soup-for-the-tired-soul love. After all, there are almost as 

many benefits of soups as there are soups out there. So grab yourself 

a steaming bowl and cleanse the body one spoonful at a time. 

The best soups to achieve this goal are packed with ginger, lemongrass, 

a hearty broth and loads of spices. A great place to start 

is at Lemongrass where you can enjoy their Tom Kha Soup. This 

spicy, coconut-base soup with lemongrass, mushrooms and scallions 

for $8.95 has the right amount of spice to bring your body 

to life. Or, Ramen 369 and their Miso Ramen will have you feeling 

fine in no time, thanks to all the benefits of miso. The bowl comes 

with chicken broth and miso with chashu, wood ear mushrooms, 

bamboo shoots and scallions for $18. Ziree’s soups also pack a bold 

punch of flavor and recuperative efforts, especially with their Tom 

Yum Ta-Lay. This Thai-style hot and sour lemongrass soup comes 

with shrimp, scallops, squid, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and 

a touch of lime juice for $7.95. Sweaty forehead, yes. Comforting 

stomach, also yes. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or 

call (561)243-1077 for specific restaurant information.

JANUARY 4TH (NETFLIX) 

► Society of Snow 

In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered 

to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 

29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the 

most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have 

to resort to extreme measures to stay alive. Society of the Snow, also 

known as La Sociedad de la Nieve in Spanish, is directed by acclaimed 

Spanish producer / filmmaker J.A. Bayona, director of the films The 

Orphanage, The Impossible, A Monster Calls, and Jurassic World. 

JANUARY 5TH 

follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise 

encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door 

to the past. Memory is both written and directed by acclaimed Mexican 

filmmaker Michel Franco. This first premiered at the 2023 Venice Film 

Festival this fall, where Sarsgaard won the Best Actor prize. 

► Night Swim 

Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst & Bryce 

McGuire, Wyatt Russell stars as Ray Waller, a former major league 

baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, 

who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Oscar 

nominee Kerry Condon), teen daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle) and 

young son Elliot (Gavin Warren). Secretly hoping, against the odds, to 

return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering 

backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical 

therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a 

malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of 

inescapable terror. Night Swim is written & directed by up-and-coming 

filmmaker Bryce McGuire.

organization known as “Beekeepers.” The Beekeeper is directed by 

the American filmmaker David Ayer. Jason Statham stars with Emmy 

Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, plus 

Phylicia Rashad and Jeremy Irons. 

► The Book of Clarence 

From visionary filmmaker Jeymes Samuel (who made the western 

The Harder They Fall), The Book of Clarence is a bold new take 

on the timeless Biblical-era epic. Streetwise but down-on-his-luck, 

Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is struggling to find a better life for his 

family, while fighting to free himself of debt. Captivated by the power 

and glory of the rising Messiah and His apostles, he risks everything 

to carve his own path to a divine life, and ultimately discovers that the 

redemptive power of belief may be his only way out. The film features 

new music made by Jeymes Samuel, JAY-Z, and more. The Book of 

Clarence is both written and directed by acclaimed British songwriter 

/ filmmaker Jeymes Samuel, director of the films They Die by Dawn 

and The Harder They Fall, plus Jay Z’s “Jay-Z: Legacy” short film / 

music video. With a full cast including Omar Sy, Anna Diop, RJ Cyler, 

David Oyelowo, Micheal Ward, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb 

McLaughlin, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, with James 

McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch. 

► Mean Girls 

From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the 

modern classic, Mean Girls. New student Cady Heron (Angourie 

Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite 

group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving 

queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen 

(Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the 

major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels 

(Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As 

Cady schemes to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of 

her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), 

she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most 

cutthroat jungle of all: high school. Mean Girls (2024) is co-directed by 

the filmmakers Samantha Jayne (“Quarter Life Poetry”) & Arturo Perez 

Jr. (also “Quarter Life Poetry”, plus the docs McCartney: Grand Central, 

Where Have All the Flowers Gone?).

► I.S.S. 

Tensions flare in the near future aboard the International Space 

Station as a worldwide conflict breaks out on Earth. Reeling from 

this, the astronauts receive orders from the ground: take control 

of the station by any means necessary. “I.S.S. is a nail biting thriller 

that keeps us on the edge of our seats. Underneath it all though, it’s 

really a human story -- a story about the tension between what we’re 

called to do versus who we know ourselves to be.” This I.S.S. movie 

is directed by the award-winning American producer / filmmaker 

Gabriela Cowperthwaite. The excellent cast for this includes Ariana 

DeBose, Chris Messina, Pilou Asbaek, John Gallagher Jr., Costa Ronin, 

and Masha Mashkova

Letters From Linton 

(DELRAYAUTHOR) 

BY CHARLES HOFMAN 

Letters from Linton is the story of Adolf 

and Anna Hofman, who arrived in Delray 

Beach in 1895 and made it their home. 

Originally called Linton, Delray Beach 

(and South Florida) was a primitive frontier 

filled with rattlesnakes and covered 

with scrub brush and palmettos. 

The story of the Hofman legacy is told 

beautifully through letters sent to their 

families from 1895 to 1928. The letters 

narrate the planting of pineapple fields, the 

excitement of hunting for turtle eggs, and 

the fervent real estate sales in the 1920s. 

Adolf and Anna captured the bleak beauty 

of the Delray landscape while revealing 

their strong spirit to triumph over the 

harsh realities of pioneer life. 

Letters from Linton is illustrated with 

photographs from the Hofman family album 

and the Delray Beach Historical Society. 

The author combines historical research, 

the Hofman letters, and memoirs 

of early settlers to create an authentic account 

of frontier Linton and Delray Beach. 

The Author, Charles Hofman is the 

grandson of Adolf and Anna Hofman. He 

grew up listening to their colorful tales of 

adventure and hardship in Delray. He and

Nine Months: The 

Story of Wilbur 

(DELRAY AUTHOR) 

BY TANIA TOMYN 

Nine Months: The Story of Wilbur is 

a small but powerful book by local 

author, Tania Tomyn. The book is an honest 

portrayal of a couple who so lovingly 

wants to have a child, yet despite everything 

they do, have not conceived. 

So, they adopt. Not a child, but a rescue 

dog named Wilbur. Poor Wilbur has so many 

ailments that Tania and husband Aaron find 

themselves tending to a dog who they love 

yet requires a lot of medical treatments. 

Perhaps this is a metaphor for loving 

selflessly. What is so compelling about 

this book – that is measured in months – is 

that love is always the anchor for life and 

for Wilbur’s trials and tribulations. 

Nine Months is the time that the author 

had to spend with Wilbur. The bond they 

share is undeniably strong and the challenges 

they face are the centerpiece for the family. 

The book takes you through the emotions 

of each month and are shared generously. 

It is a heartfelt wish that everything 

have a happy ending. And, despite Wilbur’s 

outcome, there is love to go around. 

That love becomes the centerpiece for 

their lives going forward. 

Tania and Aaron decide to adopt more 

rescue pups and create a happy family of 

canines. It’s a beautiful display of dharma 

in its ultimate form. You can’t help loving 

Tania and Aaron for their tender care of 

poor Wilbur, who teaches them that love 

takes on many different forms. 

The Heaven & Earth 

Grocery Store 

(2023 B&N BOOK OF THE YEAR) 

BY JAMES MCBRIDE 

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, 

Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations 

for a new development, the last thing 

they expected to find was a skeleton at the 

bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and 

how it got there were two of the long-held 

secrets kept by the residents of Chicken 

Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where 

immigrant Jews and African Americans 

lived side by side and shared ambitions and 

sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe 

and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated 

his theater and where Chona ran 

the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When 

COPYRIGHTED

the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize 

him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at 

Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black 

community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep 

the boy safe. 

As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen, it becomes 

clear how much the people who live on the margins 

of white, Christian America struggle and what they must 

do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about 

what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s 

white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that 

even in dark times, it is love and community—heaven and 

earth—that sustain us. 

Financial Feminist: 

Overcome the Patriarchy’s 

Bullsh*t to Master Your 

Money and Build a Life You 

Love 

BY TORI DUNLAP 

Tori Dunlap was always good with money. As a kid, she 

watched her prudent parents balance their checkbook 

every month and learned to save for musical tickets 

by gathering pennies in an Altoids tin. But she quickly 

discovered that her experience with money was pretty 

unusual, especially among her female friends. 

It wasn’t our fault. Investigating this financial literacy 

and wealth gap, Tori found that girls are significantly less 

likely to receive a holistic financial education; we’re taught 

to restrain our spending, while boys are taught about investing 

and rewarded for pursuing wealth. In adulthood, 

women are hounded by the unfounded stereotype of the 

frivolous spenders whose lattes are to blame for the wealth 

gap. And when something like, say, a global pandemic happens, 

we’re the first to have jobs cut and the last to re-enter 

the workforce. It’s no wonder money is a source of anxiety 

and a barrier to equality for so many of us. 

But what if money didn’t mean restriction, and instead, 

choice? The ability to luxuriously travel, quit toxic jobs, 

donate to important organizations, retire early? The freedom 

to live the life you want, and change the world while 

you do it? 

Tori founded Her First $100K to teach women to overcome 

the unique obstacles standing in the way of their 

financial freedom. In Financial Feminist, she distills the 

principles of her shame- and judgment-free approach 

to paying off debt, figuring out your value categories to 

spend mindfully, saving money without monk-like deprivation, 

and investing in order to spend your retirement 

tanning in Tulum.

Beyond Words 

Storytelling Competition 

Connection is at the heart of all that we do at 

HERD Foundation. It is at the core of all our 

relationships and how we interact — with our 

team, our community, our clients, and our horses. 

Established in 2018 by co-founders 

Rhonda Fritzshall and Nongae Johnson, 

HERD Foundation is a nonprofit 

organization that provides equineassisted 

services to military veterans and 

their families. 

Consistent with our mission, our experiential 

Equine-Assisted programs are designed 

to empower individuals to achieve personal 

growth through exploring the unique relationship 

between humans and horses. 

HERD Foundation launched our programs 

as a proactive response to the growing 

need for services that promote social and 

emotional well-being among the military 

veteran population of Palm Beach County. 

Our voluntary programs are free to veterans 

since HERD is funded by grants, fundraisers, 

donations, and community partnerships. 

When we are working with veterans, 

rather than focusing on a diagnosis, labels, 

or past experiences, our primary focus is 

offering a safe space where participants 

can explore the connection in the present 

and experience a sense of belonging. 

All equine-assisted sessions at HERD 

Foundation are conducted on the ground 

with the horses at liberty, meaning they 

can move freely and choose how and when 

to interact. This method is particularly 


powerful because a natural shift in the 

relationship dynamic between horse and 

participant occurs — moving from a relationship 

that puts human above horse to 

one that is based on mutual respect, clear 

communication, and trust. 

Veterans are provided the opportunity 

to learn the principles and skills necessary 

to foster a meaningful connection with our 

equine partners. Veterans can also develop 

additional skills to build healthy, attuned 

relationships with themselves and others. 

Connecting with the horses enables the 

veteran to embody the learned principles 

and skills so that they may be transferred 

to other relationships and situations in 

their lives once they step out of the arena. 

One of the most invaluable aspects of 

HERD Foundation is that we are a long-term 

resource for our veterans. HERD encourages 

participants to stay engaged for as long as 

they choose. This is made possible through 

our Fall In Friday program, which offers the 

much-needed continuity of support services 

often lacking for local veterans. Fall In Friday 

has run continuously for over two years 

and provides the opportunity for veterans 

to expand upon their horsemanship skills 

and to continue to build the relationships 

they have formed with the horses and other 

veterans in the program. 

We strive to ensure that each veteran 

who participates in one of our programs

Arthritis and Chiropractic 

Arthritis, we have all heard of it, and it affects 

some if not most of us. Arthritis has many 

forms and conditions, but for the purpose of 

this article we will discuss osteoarthritis. 

Osteoarthritis or OA is defined as the degeneration of joint 

cartilage and the underlying bone, most common from middle 

age and onward in life. This can happen in any joint, but 

here we will specifically address OA of the spine. 

Quick anatomy lesson, humans have 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 

5 lumbar vertebrae, and in between each one of those vertebrae is 

a disc. That disc has two parts. The inside is a gelatinous material 

called the nucleus pulposus and the outside portion of the disc call 

the annulus fibrosis. The annular is a strong durable material that 

bonds to the top and bottom of the vertebrae. These discs act as 

the shock absorbers of the spine. Just like in your car, these wear 

out after lots of miles or improper use. Improper use can occur due 

to poor biomechanics, poor posture, overuse, or even injury. The 

discs are a very viscous material and need movement to get their 

nutrition and hydration. If the spine is injured, or biomechanics are 

altered, the discs are not getting their proper nutrients and hydration, 

so they dehydrate or degenerate. When this happens, you have 

degenerative disc disease. It’s not actually a disease, but rather a 

condition. However, when the disc is degenerated and dehydrated, 

the body views that as unstable and locks down the muscles around 

the joints, and protects the spine by laying down more bone, resulting 

in osteoarthritis. 

There are other concerns in this process as well. During the degeneration 

process, the likelihood of developing disc herniations 

are increased, as well as an increase in symptoms such as sciatica. 

How can this be treated? First and foremost, MOVEMENT is the key 

to life. Stretching, exercising, going on walks, getting out and experiencing 

this beautiful country of ours, is going to help keep those 

joints lubricated. 

For the spine, getting adjusted is going to introduce motion to the 

joints that are stuck in the protective mechanism we talked about 

earlier. It is also going to help rehydrate the discs over time. For 

disc herniations, non-surgical spinal decompression is the most 

aggressive conservative treatment that can be done to help with 

herniations and sciatica. Coupling spinal decompression with Class 

IV laser therapy to bring more healing properties into the joints has 

proven to have great results. In the end, if you are suspecting that 

you have arthritis do not just sit around, get up and MOVE!

Jumpin’ Into The New Year! 

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

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

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

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

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

1. MAKE REALISTIC RESOLUTIONS 

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

Set goals that are attainable and realistic. The 

more accomplished you feel the more likely you 

are to stay motivated and pushing toward your 

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

you’ve never lifted weights, attempting to do 

so 7 days per week is probably setting yourself 

up for disappointment. For most people, 

breaking or setting new habits doesn’t happen 

overnight. The key to sustainable resolutions 

is to make small changes gradually. If your 

goal is to go from never running to finishing 

a half-marathon, start training gradually. 

Begin by walking a few miles twice a week, 

and steadily increase the workload to jogging, 

and then running over several months. 

Just keep the word “realistic” in your mind and 

you’ll be off to a good start! 

2. GET SPECIFIC WITH YOUR GOALS 

Resolutions should be both specific and measurable. 

Writing down your goals is not only a great way 

to accomplish them, but your list can also help you 

figure out the exact steps needed to get where you 

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

New Year resolution, but how exactly do you 

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

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

pounds over the next 6 weeks by eliminating fast 

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

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

before setting any other new goals.” The more specific 

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

goals are the harder it will be to attain them. 

3. SET NON-SUPERFICIAL GOALS 

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

goals usually lose their appeal after endless weeks 

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

health and happiness. For example, regular exercise has 

awesome benefits such as lowering cholesterol, boosting overall 

energy, and even increasing happiness and decreasing 

depression. Bringing some deeper intentions to 

your workout can make all the difference in sticking 

to your goals. Looking good in a swimsuit should 

come secondary to your main goal. 

4. BUDDY UP 

Find a friend or someone with likeminded 

goals to keep and hold you accountable. Accountability 

is huge! You are much more likely 

to stay on track when you have someone 

to answer to besides yourself. A buddy 

should also serve to help motivate and 

keep things real. They should have no 

problem telling you to put that French 

fry down and get your booty to the 

gym when you’re lacking your own 

motivation. If your buddy isn’t doing 

their job, fire them and find a new one! 

There is always someone looking to become 

healthy and fit. 

5. REEVALUATE 

RESOLUTIONS OFTEN 

How many people resolve to finish a 

marathon, only to realize they dislike distance 

running? Or decide to take up yoga 

and realize they want something fasterpaced? 

A lot of things seem fun from a 

distance but might not be a good fit. If this 

happens to you, switch gears and pick a different 

resolution. Don’t be afraid to switch it 

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

to stick with something that you truly enjoy.

VINCE SPADEA 

INTERVIEWED AND WRITTEN BY EMILY PETERS | PHOTO BY HENRIIKKA NIEMI 

Granting his first personal interview in years, 

perpetually well-polished Vince Spadea reveals what it 

was really like playing tennis at an Olympic level, and 

how he has become just as successful off the court. 

The epitome of tenacity, Spadea has 

more than proven himself as a firstrate 

Renaissance man, conquering 

endeavors that have spanned the globe. 

Parlaying a formidable tennis career into 

bi-coastal successes as an author, business 

owner, and luxury real estate agent, 

the sports phenom has become one of the 

top Realtors in South Florida, currently 

operating under Douglass Elliman - a 

company synonymous with some of the 

most high-end properties in the world. In 

2006, ECW Press published the best-selling 

memoir Break Point: The Secret Diary 

of a Pro Tennis Player, which details the 

ultra-competitive world of professional 

tennis, along with previously private anecdotes 

- including his friendship with 

comedian Jon Lovitz. In the public eye for 

the majority of his life, Spadea recounts 

how at eight-years-old, he relocated from 

his native Chicago to South Florida, whose 

sunny atmosphere leant a hand in determining 

his future. 

“Florida is an amazing place for tennis 

because you simply can’t beat the weather 

here. My dad was a part-time player 

and enthusiast, so he used to bring my 

sisters out with me and we would all play 

against each other. I attended a few training 

programs including the Chris Evert 

Academy, and as tennis grew in the 80’s 

and 90’s, so did my game. That time period 

was absolutely pivotal in facilitating 

COPYRIGHTED 


my career in the juniors, and around 14 was when I really began 

to exhibit a higher standard of skill. Consequently, agents and 

people in the tennis associations started coming around saying 

they wanted to talk to me about being more serious. I was actually 

playing baseball at the time, and ironically Coco Gauff’s 

(winner of the 2023 Women’s singles U.S. 

Open) dad was actually on my team in Delray. 

I was really into baseball too, but I started 

winning a lot of national events in tennis, 

so that outweighed baseball and changed my 

priorities. When I was 16, and a sophomore 

at St. Andrews in Boca Raton, I turned all 

my attention towards the game and became 

enamored with professional athleticism itself. 

Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras were 

definitely inspirations… and that era athlete 

didn’t go the college route. I aspired to 

be like them, so I concentrated all my extra 

hours and energy on tennis and going pro.” 

His dream fulfilled, Spadea remained on 

the pro tennis circuit for 18 years, reaching 

the quarterfinals at the 1999 Australian 

Open, and attained a career-high ATP (Association 

of Tennis Professionals) ranking of 

18th in the world in 2005. 

“Upon reaching pro status, I think you 

without a doubt strive to become the best 

you can. As I progressed, the want to keep 

going intensified - and once the media recognition 

came… truly realized how substantially 

I was climbing. So I reset my goals, and 

upon reaching the top 25, it all began to feel a little bit surreal 

because you don’t think of yourself as being one of the best players 

out there. I worked really hard, and seeing my ranking break 

the top 20 was one of the biggest moments in my tennis career. 

There were some really great American players on the circuit 

like Jim Courier and Michael Chang. Getting to watch guys that 

were only a few years older than me winning majors was really 

inspiring, and those were the kind of guys I wanted to emulate 

and compete against. I wound up beating them all at some point 

eventually in the future, and although I didn’t get to win a major 

tournament like they did, had some great times accomplishing 

a lot against that caliber of player. I was honored to represent 

the United States twice at the Summer Olympics - once in 2000, 

held in Sydney, Australia and again in 2004 in Athens, Greece. 

The entire experience was pretty amazing and such a timeless 

achievement. There’s so much prestige and attention that is given 

to every athlete when you get there. From the amazing equipment, 

warm-up suits and rings, to the incredible memorabilia 

- you realize how important it is. To want to be an Olympic athlete 

is a great goal, but to actually be there while participating 

in the opening ceremonies, and see the competitors who have 

dedicated years of their lives - combined with every victory and 

failure… it culminates to that moment where you’re playing for 

your country, surrounded by the most talented and impressive 

class of peers, and to be one of them is really special.” 

I worked 

really hard, 

and seeing 

my ranking 

break the top 

20 was one 

of the biggest 

moments in my 

tennis career 

COPYRIGHTED 

That “go for the gold” mindset continued as Spadea ventured 

into real estate, garnering the Platinum Ellie Award in 2020 and 

2023, and the 2022 Leading Edge Ellie Award. With stellar progression, 

selling over $150 million in Palm Beach homes over 

the span of only a few years, Vince has authenticated why he is 

on track for one of the most rapid rises in 

history as a new agent. 

“I got into real estate because I was starting 

to look at buying places for myself, 

and wanted to get my license for personal 

knowledge. I think it’s such a cool field because 

it affects everyone, and thought it 

would be great to interact with individuals 

on that level. I wound up getting my license 

while spending a good amount of time in 

Palm Beach as the touring professional at 

Mar-a-Lago. I met a lot of fascinating people 

there, and began to realize the bigger picture 

for myself. I lived in Los Angeles before 

Florida, because that’s where one of my 

coaches was in 2003. Ten years later, when 

I fully retired, I was working as a manager 

and agent - but more in the Hollywood aspect, 

which allowed for top-notch practice 

in negotiations. Usually after you become a 

professional athlete, it’s natural to want to 

mentor people and help out… and I desired 

to do that as well, but in a different sector. In 

Los Angeles, that’s the entertainment sector, 

and so that environment helped me develop 

my own identity and brand.” 

Spadea’s talents have spilled onto the silver screen as the onset 

expert and body double for Steve Carell in Battle of the Sexes, 

TSG Entertainment’s 2017 film detailing the historic match between 

Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. 

“I helped Emma (Stone), Steve (Carell), and the actors learn 

tennis at a magnitude which was needed for that movie. The entire 

cast was really nice, and everyone put forth great effort in 

perfecting their game to create the realism of what you see in 

the final product. Another project, Nightbird, (directed by Lawrence 

Fajardo), came about because of someone that I had met 

in the same industry. They were doing an independent film in 

New York, and asked me to play a part in a mafia movie which 

sounded really interesting and I had a great time doing it.” 

Whether it’s having the distinction of being one of only four 

players to ever defeat Roger Federer 6-0 in a set at a major 

event, running his Beverly-Hills based talent management company, 

6 Star Ventures, or selling some of the most magnificent 

homes in America, Spadea makes it all look easy - even though 

it certainly is not. 

“It’s always more enjoyable when you play well or succeed in 

your chosen pursuits, so I try to focus and achieve big things in 

everything I do.”

THE SEAGATE GOLF CLUB 

A New Updated Golf Course 

to Meet the New Age of Golfing 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE SEAGATE COUNTRY CLUB 

The best things in life don’t change much, 

but they do need updating from time to time. 

The Seagate Golf Club - which has always endorsed elegance 

and good taste - knew that. 

That’s why the Seagate Golf Club recently finished a major 

renovation at their historic golf course with design excellence 

and deluxe patronage. 


Known for being one of the best championship golf courses in 

Palm Beach County, they reopened last month. The 18-hole Seagate 

Golf course, known for its legendary designer Joe Lee, enters a new 

phase of creation by renowned golf course architect Drew Rogers. 

The new golf course enhances the game and allows players to 

experience new challenges within the scope of the game. 

One thing for sure, the 18-hole championship course continues 

to wow golfers and guests with its 300-acre Bimini Bermuda grass 

and tree-lined fairways. They also kept to their original heritage 

with an impressive practice facility, driving range, pitching and 

bunker areas, and staff of PGA professionals. 

The updated golf course has sparked newness in all areas, from 

the obvious to the discerning player’s advantage. The changes affect 

the greens, fairways, tees, bunkers, irrigation, drainage, turfgrasses, 

landscaping, driving range and practice facilities. 

“Recognized as one of the best golf courses in the region, this full 

renovation continues to provide our members with the world-class 

facilities they’ve come to expect,” said Alex Schnoeller, Managing 

Director of The Seagate. 

COPYRIGHTED

Seagate Director of Agronomy Alan Fike also sees the golden hue 

in their green golfing landscape. 

“Our architect carefully analyzed our course and designed the 

plans for the full renovation of the entirety of our golf facilities. 

Throughout the renovation, I was on the course each day, ensuring 

that the myriad of intricate design details was executed according to 

plan. We know our members will be very pleased with the results.” 

The changes are mighty but strategically placed for maximum 

challenge and an enlightened game. This includes a new Bunker 

Strategy, all new greens complexes and a Rock wall bulkhead on 

Par 3 at the 15th hole. 

“Players will be challenged with the new Seagate Golf Club. The 

bunker strategy gives golfers a challenge to play the course very 

differently than in the past.” 

Part of this new challenge lies in the fact that the fairway bunkers 

are more visible from the tee boxes. The green side bunkers are more 

strategically placed and new greens are bigger. This gives a change to 

the undulations, allowing more challenging hole locations. 

They also enhanced the water hazard on the 15th hole that 

showcases their new coral rock bulkhead. This upgraded look adds 

a challenge when navigating the water. 

Originally designed by legendary golf architect Joe Lee, the Bates 

Golf Design Group stayed true to the course’s beloved layout, but 

modernized and enhanced players’ skills. 

The 300-acre course is now stocked with bass ponds, TIF Eagle 

greens, and bordered by natural wildlife. 

What is golf without a luxe clubhouse, after-game wind down 

and social swivel? 

The 41,000 square-foot clubhouse has an updated dining room serving 

lunch, brunch, and dinner with indoor and outdoor seating. There is 

also a Grand Ballroom, Dining Room, Grille Room and Courtyard. 

The Clubhouse renovation includes architectural improvement 

and upgrades in the lobby, meeting rooms, event spaces, locker 

rooms, corridors and the outdoor patio. 

The new Clubhouse has a modern serene aesthetic and augments 

its historic Delray Beach roots. The architecture includes soft neutrals 

and sage green upholstery for a relaxed yet classic touch. 

There are leather tufted sofas in intimate seating areas and a new 

reception desk with leather burl top. The new brass glowing alabaster 

light fixtures and new curated art collection adds an abstract 

dimension to its landscape. And, the vintage photos by Slim Aarons 

of Palm Beach lend an air of laid back cerebral sophistication. 

This new clubhouse renovation adds an elegant nod to Hollywood 

glamour with its vintage photos, marble dining tables and 

rattan patio furniture. 

If golf is your passion, or you want to beef up your game and your 

social sphere, the Seagate Golf Club invites you to become a member 

of this distinguished club. 

The golf course is open to club members and Seagate Hotel 

guests. With either you get full access to the golf course, racquet 

club, the Fitness Center, Fitness classes, and Golf Club dining venues. 

The Racquets Center offers programs for tennis and pickleball 

at all levels with courts, clinics and competitions. 

Members also get to enjoy exclusive access to The Seagate Beach 

Club, Yacht Club and Hotel as a private Club member. Located in the 

prime “court” of Delray Beach, Florida, the Seagate name is synonymous 

with elegance, luxury and sophistication. 

Also, as a golf club member (or hotel guest) you get to indulge 

in the largeness and beauty of their luxurious private Ocean front 

Beach Club. The lush greenery will seduce your senses, and the 

ocean view is beautiful and intoxicating. 

You can lounge by the pool, relax oceanside and order a drink 

from their full-service bar. There is valet parking, indoor and outdoor 

dining (under the stars) with a choice of fresh dishes that rival 

the finest restaurants. The Seagate Beach Club is an all- inclusive 

floating heaven on earth. 

All of this can be yours by joining the Seagate Golf Club, Beach 

Club, Yacht Club and Hotel as a private Club member. 

The Seagate name is one of the most distinguished in Florida resort 

living. Whether it’s golf, sports, fitness, beach activities, a hotel 

or restaurants they have all the ingredients that make life a little 

sweeter and a lot more profound. 

To be active – whether on the golf course or fitness center – is the 

passport to heavenly living. The Seagate Golf and Country Club is 

well known for its elegance and authenticity. They invite you into 

their world. Call about membership today.

WORLD CRYSTAL 

A Shop of Wonders to Buy and 

Admire Radiant Gemstone Creations 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTOS COURTESY OF WORLD CRYSTAL 

World Crystal is a rare jewel in the retail 

landscape. There are few stores like this in 

the US and even fewer in Palm Beach County. 


The reason is that these high-quality gemstone products are 

rarely available in one place. You might find a few in a gift 

shop at a tourist attraction, but you won’t find an entire store 

dedicated to selling (and showing) these natural radiant products. 

The reason that Delray Beach is the center of the gemstone universe 

is because Marcelo Neves brought these precious gemstones 

(and products made of them) to the US from his native Brazil. 

It was not commerce that sparked his deep knowledge and love 

of gemstones, it was his birthright. 

“I started working in my grandfather’s gemstone business in 

Goiás, Brazil when I was five years old. My grandfather collected 

gemstones and sold them to shop owners and collectors,” said the 

amiable owner of World Crystal. 

As legend would have it his grandfather opened a mine in Brazil 

and began bringing rare gemstones to be made into gift items, jewelry, 

sculptures and healing crystals. 

His beloved grandson, Marcelo began wholesaling the gemstones, 

but realized their beauty was beyond their inherent goodness. 

The result was a retail shop that resembles a museum of crystal 

radiance and goodness. 

“I wanted to share these unique gemstone treasures with people 

who would cherish and enjoy them. I dreamed of coming to the US 

and finding a city to open a retail store. It was important for me to 

go where gemstones would be appreciated and bring harmony and 

happiness to others.” 

When he visited Delray Beach, Marcelo felt he had found his oasis 

for gemstones. He knew instinctually that the people (and tourists) 

in Delray Beach would appreciate the mystical quality and inherent 

beauty of these rare gemstones and artifacts. 

He was right. 

“My shop opened 16 months ago. I am so happy I moved to Delray 

Beach to showcase these beautiful and powerful gemstone 

home décor items and crystal pieces.” 

It is not just locals who have embraced World Crystal. Tourists 

from all over the globe have been shopping (and shipping) large 

gemstone arches and smaller pieces to their homes overseas. 

It’s no surprise that this is happening. The brilliant hues and 

COPYRIGHTED

sparkling radiance of each item that surrounds you in World Crystal 

has meaning beyond their inherent beauty. 

There are five-foot Amethyst crystal towers with purple hues and 

others with more neutral tones. Shoppers buy them to adorn their 

homes (or offices) and bring good luck or abundance to their lives. 

One 9-foot crystal quartz tower weighs 1,500 pounds and stands 

stoically beside smaller daintier quartz massagers and cheese cutters. 

That is the beauty of this store that beckons you inside with its 

pure intention and clear-cut earthly goodness. 

Though the eye sees Amethyst as something of rare beauty, it is 

also known as one of the most powerful and protective healing 

stones. It can be in its natural state, cut into the shape of a small Bonsai 

Tree or polished into jewels. A quick aside – if you’re looking for 

an anniversary gift – Amethyst is the perfect stone for six years of 

marriage. It’s also the birthstone for people born in February. 

For those who love the texture and quality of Amethyst and want 

to admire its beauty, they have large cut-out gemstones on swivel 

stands. There are also gemstone towers with cut-out Amethyst slices 

(Geodes) to adorn your hallway or living room. 

For those who love gemstones, but don’t see your future wrapped 

up in the largeness of this beauty, don’t fret. 

World Crystal has a large – and spectacular selection – of smaller 

items as well. There are gemstone birds perched atop crystal 

bases, miniature horses made of black crystal (Obsidian), modern 

tabletop Obsidian pieces in sleek textured shapes, body forms and 

historic shapes. 

The Dark Obsidian is known for its powerful grounding properties 

and its ability to bring clarity and peace. 

There are many mystical properties to the crystal figures and Goddesses 

on display. Though some are revered as a form of worship, 

many people find serenity and power in these gemstone pieces. 

There are colorful gemstone statues of Ganesh, Shiva, Parvati and 

others. They come in Lepidolite, blue lapis, gold, and other illustrious 

gemstones. 

If you stop and look at the glass cases that surround you, you will 

find dazzling museum-quality gemstone sculptures made in the 

shape of hearts, skulls, coasters, boats and more. There are also wonderful 

gift items such as gemstone knives, spatulas, bread cutters, 

serving pieces and two-tier platters with gold electroplated edging. 

One rare piece of artistic wonder is the Yellow Jade hand carved 

ships with figurines. Yellow Jade is not only rare, but it represents 

good luck and good fortune. The ships are meticulously ornate with 

cut-out detail and miniature seafaring detail. 

They also have Pyrite gemstones that can sit atop a desk, cabinet

ALLYSON SULLIVAN 

Delray 

Beach 

According 

to Allyson 

Sullivan 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTOS BY KRYSTAL CAPONE 

To Allyson Sullivan the sun sets a little 

brighter in Delray Beach. She has not only 

lived here for the past 30 years, but she has 

been a realtor for 22 of those years. 

Allyson has seen it all and heard a lot. “As a realtor in town I 

meet many people from out of town and many locals. Some 

of them consider me to be a resource for all things Delray 

Beach,” said the Delray Beach Lang Realty agent. 

Because of this Sullivan wants to share some of her favorite things 

about Delray. Some of the them may surprise you – but not to Sullivan. 

She tends to look on the bright side – even with sunglasses on. 

“I love the small town beach vibe of Delray and many things that 

people complain about. I actually love the bridge and never mind 

getting stuck in traffic when the bridge is open.” 

Sullivan also loves watching the trains go by and the traffic (yes 

you heard that right). She also enjoys all the hustle and bustle of 

our little beach town. 

On the side of land use and real estate, Sullivan’s quest for perfection 

also lands squarely on the ground. 

“I love that there are so many types of various real estate options 

- there is something for everyone. I think Delray has really nailed 

the concept of new urbanism.” 

What she means is the design movement that promotes environmentally 

friendly habits such as creating walkable neighborhoods, 

offering a wide range of housing and adding creative venues 

and options. 

COPYRIGHTED 


“Downtown Delray Beach has gorgeous single family homes with lush 

tropical backyards, lots of townhomes with varying architecture and plenty 

of condos with different views and little to no maintenance.” 

Sullivan also raves about the five East Delray historic districts in town 

with the classic “Old Florida” architecture. There are also “some stunning 

modern masterpieces mixed right in to the landscape! When you put all 

this in one small area this is what makes Delray so cool and unique.” 

As a realtor Sullivan gets asked many times about where she likes to eat 

and shop. In the name of full disclosure, she wants to address this query 

and share her favorite Delray places. 

She enjoys eating at Akira in the Ray Hotel – “They have the best food.. 

You must try the chicken (thank me later!) and Hands down best espresso 

Martinis in town.” 

Another Sullivan favorite is Le Colonial. This is a great addition to the 

Delray dining scene, she said. “I love the food and the gorgeous atmosphere, 

whether I’m in the dining room or having a drink in the cocktail 

lounge it’s perfect. The service is also superb.” 

She is also a big fan of Rose’s Daughter and enjoys their homemade pasta, 

Farmhouse for their grilled salmon and Amar for their Mediterranean food. 

And, like a lot of locals, Sullivan is a big fan of Tramonti and City Oyster (their 

lobster rolls and raspberry point oysters). 

Her favorite off the beaten path restaurant is Palm Trail Grill and she 

enjoys the coffee shop and dessert at MO&MA. “You can never go wrong 

with a cup of joe at the Coffee District or sitting outside on the patio at 

The Seagate Hotel for a cup of coffee.” 

For her Shopping suggestions Sullivan turns to Morley, Coco & Co and 

Periwinkle. Also, a favorite is surf shop The Quiet Storm. It is a short drive 

from the Avenue, but Nomad Surf Shop is always worth the trip. 

“I am in love with the new Snappy Turtle home store next to Captain Clays 

fish market! And the gift shop in the Seagate Hotel is a gem.” For wine Sullivan 

heads to the Wine Wave in Waterway East Plaza. 

“I often get asked where is the next hot spot and I must say I have my 

eyes on Boynton Beach. I am excited about the growth of Boynton Beach.” 

The Chapel Hill neighborhood is one of hottest in Palm Beach County. 

Another area to watch is east of US1 in Boynton beach. “I recently sold a 

point lot on the Intracoastal to a client building a beautiful custom home. 

Once completed, I believe it will be one of the nicest homes in the city.” 

When it comes to real estate listings Sullivan has some new exciting 

ones to share. 

She has a fully renovated historic home at 503 NE 2nd Avenue (the 

pink house) listed for $2.070 million. She also has a three bedroom condo 

penthouse at 801 Palm Trail - complete with a deeded boat slip and lift 

- for $1.475 million, and a Lake Ida home on a double lot with gorgeous 

backyard for $1.775 million. As for condos, she has a one-bedroom condo 

listing at Delray Colonial for $305K. “I have a little something for everyone,” 

she adds. 

Sullivan had a notable sale this December at 510 Palm Trail. The single 

family home sold in December for over $4 million. 

As they say in the business, “If you want a great home and a greater 

experience call Allyson Sullivan!”

ACUPUNCTURE ZEN 

A Sanctuary of 

Health and Healing 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTOS COURTESY OF ACUPUNCTURE ZEN 

To honor perfection is a high form of being. To help 

people in need of healing is another form of perfection. 

Dr. Tony Willcox is both healer and master of perfection. 

He won’t tell you this because humility is one of his other 

traits. If you talk to his clients (and patients) they will tell 

you that Dr. Tony is a master healer and kind-hearted practitioner 

who has helped them tremendously. 

Chad Renfro is one of them. The Consulting Producer and Osage 

Nation Ambassador on Martin Scorsese’s new film, “Killers of the 

Flower Moon” was recently at Acupuncture Zen. 

He was travelling promoting the film and recently came back 

from LA where he attended the Academy Awards Gala. “Acupuncture 

is tremendous, Dr. Tony gives great care and kindness along 

with good vibes. He helped me feel better after spending so much 

time on the road. I also loved the NovoThor Red Light Therapy 

which is both relaxing and energizing at the same time,” said Chad. 

Paul, a retired Aviation veteran was plagued with neuropathy. 

He had gone to many specialists for the burning sensation in his 

feet and debilitating pain. The medications he was given by doctors 

didn’t help either. 

“I woke up every hour with pain and couldn’t sleep. I drive up 

from Hollywood to see Dr. Tony and he developed a series of treatments 

targeted for my condition using acupuncture and K Laser 

Therapy. I have got to say, it has helped me tremendously! 

I don’t have to soak my feet in ice anymore and I am functioning 

better during the day, thanks to the treatments I am getting at Acupuncture 

Zen. I now sleep through the night, and I am grateful that 

my nerves are getting better.” 

Many people come to Acupuncture Zen with all types of aches 

and pains and are touting the positive life-changing experiences 

they have had there. 

Patients receive personalized targeted treatments for their specific 

needs. Dr. Tony said, “We are all so different and as unique as a 

fingerprint on your hand. Each person requires a unique treatment.” 

Whether it’s a pain or a simple headache or a more complex 

health concern, there’s a good chance Dr. Tony can help you. He has 

helped many patients from all over the country (and internationally) 

with his tried-and-true techniques in the past 18 years of clinical 

practice.

DR. TONY WILLCOX

ACUPUNCTURE ZEN’S WALLS ARE FILLED WITH PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE AND 

CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS FOR DR. TONY’S WORK WITH ACUPUNCTURE 

Targeted therapeutic tools like the K Laser Speciale, a powerful 

100-watt laser that uses Artificial Intelligence to give each patient a 

unique and optimized treatment specifically for their body. 

“The K laser increases circulation, nutrients, and oxygen to damaged 

or injured areas of the body. It reduces inflammation, pain, 

muscle stiffness and accelerates tissue regeneration enhancing 

healing,” said Dr. Tony, who has a Double Doctorate in Acupuncture 

and Chinese herbal Medicine, a Clinical Doctorate in the US, and a 

PhD. in Acupuncture from Hefei, China. 

Dr. Tony has not only studied with the finest minds in Oriental 

medicine, but he is driven to help everyone who enters his healing 

domain. 

If you don’t believe in miracles just ask patient Steve. 

“I had excruciating pain in my neck from cervical surgery that just 

wouldn’t abate. I went to the hospital and was given drugs to no avail. 

I had another MRI, saw my orthopedic surgeon again, and it didn’t 

help. I could hardly turn my neck, driving and shaving was brutal. 

Finally, my doctor said, ‘have you considered acupuncture?’ I 

went to Acupuncture Zen and committed to 11 treatments. I’m now 

happy to say I am 95% pain free, and my range of motion has vastly 

improved. I give Dr. Tony all the credit.” 

Steve is not the only patient whose life has been 

turned around when all else has failed them. Finn 

Murphy is another success story. 

“Dr. Tony is absolutely the best! My visits consisted 

of combined cutting-edge technology like the red 

light and laser treatments with a masterful application 

of acupuncture and cupping. I had been dealing 

with a pinched nerve in my neck for three months and 

he did more for my healing in a couple of visits than 

all the other treatments I tried combined (which were 

a lot). I can’t recommend Dr. Tony highly enough.” 

Diego Dominguez, a former ATP Tennis Tour coach 

now retired due to a severe injury to his spine said, 

“I didn’t believe in miracles, and then I met Dr. Tony! 

He got me walking straight and managing my condition. 

I love the great energy at Acupuncture Zen, 

and I am getting my life back, Dr. Tony is the best!” 

Dmitry Kulikov, the Florida Panthers defender had 

this to say: “Hockey is a physical sport so naturally my 

body is taking a lot of hits. Acupuncture helps me to recover 

from aches and pains and get ready for the games. 

DMITRY KULIKOV, FLORIDA PANTHERS HAS BEEN A BELIEVER IN ACUPUNCTURE 

AND DR. TONY SINCE THE INCEPTION OF HIS NHL CAREER IN 2009 

Dr. Tony is great, and I always feel better after his treatments!” 

One of the most revolutionary treatments that Steve (and others) 

have had profound success with at Acupuncture Zen is the Novo- 

THOR red light therapy. 

There are only four NovoTHOR light tables in the State of Florida. 

This whole-body red-light therapy system uses red and nearinfrared 

light to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and speed up 

healing, said Dr. Tony, who has been the acupuncturist for The NHL 

Florida Panthers and on the Medical Team with a UFC Fight Team. 

NovoTHOR is so successful at treating ailments and pain that it is 

being used by US Special Forces, Olympians, Celebrities, Professional 

Athletes and leading Sports Teams in the NFL, NBA, UFC & NHL. 

Dr. Tony has developed his art of healing and blended it with 

ancient wisdom at his state-of-the-art clinic.

NOVOTHOR IS CONSIDERED “BEST IN CLASS” OF PHOTOBIOMODULATION OR PBM THERAPY 


ARTS GARAGE 

BEST IN SHOW: 

How Arts Garage’s Remarkable 

Turnaround Came to Be 

BY LAUREN AZAR 

Palm Beach County is a renowned arts destination in South Florida, 

with numerous art galleries, live music venues, and a vibrant mix 

of for-profit and nonprofit initiatives. In Delray Beach specifically, 

there are dozens of private galleries showcasing remarkable 

artists, along with several venues that often explore various artistic 

disciplines – and among them all, Arts Garage stands out. 


PHOTO BY ARTS GARAGE 

The visual & performing art center is a literal beacon of light 

in Downtown Delray Beach, with wraparound windows 

glowing nightly, showcasing innovative and diverse visual 

and performing arts experiences to devoted patrons from the local 

community, South Florida, and to visitors from around the globe. 

From Grammy Award-winning musicians to emerging, local artists, 

Arts Garage hosts exceptional performances in its Stuart & 

Shelby Theater while The Marshall Family Foundation Gallery at 

Arts Garage exhibits emerging regional visual artists. Arts Garage 

has become a renowned institution as it also provides educational 

programming for both adults and children to grow their talents and 

knowledge of the Visual & Performing Arts. However, it wasn’t always 

this way. 

Founded in 2011 as a Delray Beach Community Redevelopment 

Agency (CRA) project, Arts Garage was initially created to 

be a space similar to what would become Arts Warehouse (which 

opened just down the street in Pineapple Grove six years later). By 

2014, Arts Garage had transitioned into a not-for-profit organization 

with a board of directors and opened as a New York City jazz 

club-style venue. Beloved by its patrons near and far, the venue was 

a clear hit in the local community and beyond. There was just one 

problem: it was bleeding. 

Arts Garage struggled to overcome financial problems, accounting 

concerns, debts and incomplete audits, and the administration 

was unable to adequately manage the establishment’s funds. The 

dysfunction within the organization threatened both its funding 

and its support from the city. By early 2016, the organization’s 

reputation and financial forecast were dire and the venue’s closure 

seemed likely. 

COPYRIGHTED

Enter Marjorie Waldo. 

Marjorie came from the education 

world, with years of experience turning 

around charter schools that lacked resources 

and funding while she advocated 

for at-risk youth. After a career shift from 

education, Marjorie harnessed her expertise 

in turnaround management to begin 

consulting for underperforming businesses 

and nonprofits. It was at this time that Marjorie 

was introduced to Arts Garage as someone who could 

potentially right the ship. After an open discussion with the Board 

regarding the big changes that were necessary to save Arts Garage, 

Marjorie was offered the position of CEO in October of 2016. 

In November of 2016, with Marjorie officially on board, Arts Garage’s 

financial struggles loomed large. The organization had hundreds 

of thousands of dollars in debt, stacks of unpaid bills, and due 

to missing documentation was years behind on mandatory audits. 

Unphased, Marjorie took these challenges head-on by prioritizing 

payments to staff, small businesses and local vendors. She reduced 

accounts payable by cutting unnecessary expenses and negotiating 

payment plans with large vendors. In January 2017, Marjorie 

launched the Arts Garage’s Band of Angels, whose members committed 

to an annual donation of $10K and helped the nonprofit recover 

long-term debt. 

With a small staff and limited resources, Marjorie began to rebuild 

Arts Garage. She led improvements, eliminated overlaps, 

implemented infrastructure systems, initiated operational adjustments, 

and improved customer service standards. She created 

policies and procedures to improve the Arts Garage experience 

for both patrons and staff, and cultivated a team who shared her 

vision. Marjorie implemented a sustainable business model that 

increased the variety of musical genres as well as the number of 

shows on the stage, which ultimately helped raise tickets sales and 

increase revenue opportunities. And it didn’t stop there. 

“I attended every show that first year, and I would make a list 

of five to twenty-five things that we needed to improve,” Marjorie 

recalls. “Do we need to paint the stage? Do the seats look okay and 

are the tablecloths dirty? How are the acoustics? Do the patrons 

look happy? Where’s the staff member making sure that the opening 

of the doors isn’t disturbing the performance, and all of that 

kind of stuff.” 

Marjorie’s attention to detail combined with her leadership and 

operational skills meant that by the end of 2019, Arts Garage’s future 

was bright. The organization had increased its budget by over 

25% and ticket sales were up by 30%. Then the pandemic hit.

PHOTOS BY ARTS GARAGE 

Rather than letting Covid defeat her, Marjorie rallied. With all 

of the tools she had implemented in place, zero debt and a small 

reserve, and all audits completed, she was determined to not let 

the two-week shutdown ruin what she had built. Instead, she put a 

plan in place, and adapted. During the pandemic, Marjorie made it 

a priority to support local talent by continuing to produce live performances 

with a commitment to book each one for the stage once 

the venue reopened. She honored her commitment to donors by 

live streaming and recording performances, all of which were free 

and open to the community, until in-person entertainment could 

resume. Although ticket sales were non-existent at the time, Marjorie 

utilized reserves, leveraged numerous and large grants and loan 

opportunities, and engaged in creative guerilla marketing to keep 

the organization afloat. 

Three years later, Arts Garage has not only returned to its prepandemic 

success, but it is better than ever, outperforming even 

its most successful pre-pandemic times. Over the past year, on top 

of hosting over 300 performances, community events and classes 

and with more than half of all performances sold out – Marjorie 

has secured numerous grants, with 30% of funding coming from 

significant grant funders, including the CRA, Florida Department 

of Cultural Affairs, and the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County. 

Combined with generous gifts from donors and record-breaking 

tickets sales, the Arts Garage budget is 46% higher this year than 

it was in 2016. 

“This is a significant achievement, particularly for a smaller nonprofit 

organization,” explained Marjorie. “We’ve learned a great 

deal from our turnaround efforts and we’ve built a toolbox to make 

our organization more sustainable and adept at increasing revenue 

streams and audience engagement.” 

And with Marjorie leading the way, it’s clear Arts Garage’s impact 

here locally and beyond, is untold.

Therapeutic Benefits of 

Medical & Sport Massage 

BY LISA MARIE | PHOTOS COURTESY OF MY MEDICAL & SPORT MASSAGE 

Searching for the right massage therapist, whether for 

sports/medical relief or relaxation, can be confusing and 

time-consuming. Fancy websites, TV commercials, or radio 

ads get us hooked with their promises, believing they can 

heal and fix our aches, pains, tensions, and ailments 

JAYSON SERRANO WITH LAMAR JACKSON, BALTIMORE RAVENS 

These are often empty promises, and we continue searching 

for the right person for the job. However, when it comes to 

Jayson Serrano, it is a different story. He doesn’t rely solely 

on his website to sell what he has trained and specialized in for 

many years. Being a professional, natural healer, and listener, Jayson

Reasons Most People Fail at 

Their New Year’s Resolutions 

(and How You Can Beat the Odds) 5Who doesn’t love getting a fresh start? For many people, January is the 

perfect time to shake off old vices and create some positive new habits. 

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

By February, the majority of resolution-setters have abandoned 

their new goals and fallen back into their old ways. 

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

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

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

on your resolutions, too. 

1. NOT BEING REALISTIC 

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

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

almost no one can learn a new language in six months 

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

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

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

before January is over. 

2. MAKING TOO MANY RESOLUTIONS 

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

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

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

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

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

aren’t meaningful to you. 

3. NOT SETTING SPECIFIC GOALS 

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

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

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

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

4. NOT MAKING A PLAN 

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

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

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

action steps. 

5. GIVING UP TOO SOON 

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

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

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

getting discouraged too quickly, even if your resolutions are tougher 

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

realistic is better than giving up on it completely. 

How Can You Beat the Odds 

and Keep Your Resolutions? 

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

good news is that it’s not inevitable. A minority of people do stick 

to their resolutions every year, and if you’d like to be one of them, 

there are some things you can do to increase your odds of success. 

1. SET ONLY RESOLUTIONS THAT 

ARE MEANINGFUL TO YOU. 

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

to them. Avoid choosing this year’s resolutions based on what you 

think will impress other people. Instead, choose goals that you’re 

deeply invested in. 

2. PLAN FOR THE LONG HAUL. 

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

previous year’s problems and bad habits. In reality, though, it takes 

time to create lasting changes in your life. Make your resolutions 

with the knowledge that you’ll need to work on them consistently, 

and adopt the mindset that if you fall off the wagon, you’ll climb 

right back on. 

3. TAKE BABY STEPS. 

Every big achievement is made up of a series of small action 

steps. Break your goals down ahead of time, so you won’t get overwhelmed 

when the new year rolls around. When you transform a 

big resolution into a lot of small, doable steps, you’ll always know 

what to do next. 

4. TRACK AND CELEBRATE YOUR PROGRESS. 

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

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

from moment to moment, but over time, those little wins really 

add up. Keep a log of all your progress, and reward yourself for

meeting milestones on the way to your main goal. 

The Takeaway 

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

on them after a few weeks. But if you love setting goals for yourself 

at the start of the year, don’t give up on the idea of resolutions just 

yet. Resolutions can actually be a very useful tool. By taking the right 

approach and avoiding these five common mistakes, you might find 

it easier than you expected to keep your resolutions all year long.

STATE OF THE CITY 

BY MAYOR SHELLY PETROLIA 

Infrastructure Improvements 

are on the Horizon for 2024 

COMING TO HISTORIC NORTH SWINTON AVENUE 

Happy New Year, Delray 

Beach! With a new 

year comes new opportunities 

to continue 

improvements to our 

city for all to enjoy. I’m 

pleased to share that 

Phase I of historic North 

Swinton Avenue is one 

of our 2024 improvement 

projects. Crews 

will mend the roadway, 

add underground utility 

infrastructure and 

dedicated bike lanes, as 

well as enhance the sidewalks at the NE 2nd Avenue and NW 22nd 

Street intersections. Phase I of the project is set to begin in May 

2024. For more information, please visit https://swintonutilityimprovements.com/. 

TREATMENT PLANT UPDATE 

The City’s Water Treatment Plant Progressive Design-Build Project 

is continuing on schedule. The new water treatment plant will 

ensure a state-of-the-art water treatment process, advance the City’s 

monitoring and control systems, and improve water pressure. 


Five design-build teams submitted proposals, and after review, 

the selection committee short-listed the top three ranked firms to 

participate in interviews. Following the interview process, CDM 

Smith was the highest ranked firm. At the November 7, 2023, City 

Commission Meeting, the Commission passed Resolution 220-23, 

granting approval for staff to negotiate an agreement with CDM 

Smith. The draft contract is expected to be placed on a city commission 

agenda this month.

“Dear 

Cheryl,” 

I get many questions on a daily basis 

throughout my matchmaking career. Three 

of the most frequently asked questions I get 

are as follows: 

Q: “If I go on a first date, and I don’t feel I am 

physically attracted to the person, should I even 

go out on a second date? Or should I tell him right 

away? 

A: When people meet, they want to have butterflies 

and hope it’s love at first sight. But that’s actually not 

the case. I always have a two date rule. I feel the first 

time you meet someone, there are nerves involved, 

and sometimes people feel they are on an interview. 

The second date usually people are more themselves, 

and you can see a different side of someone. So when 

it comes to attraction, there are 5 different types! As 

long as you have at least one of these, you should 

definitely proceed to a 2nd date! Look for either a 

physical, emotional, intellectual, romantic or sexual 

attraction. If you don’t have at least one of these, then 

thanking them for their time, and explaining you had a 

nice date but do not feel any connection and wish 

them the best of luck. 

Q: I have been out of the dating loop for a while. Is 

there any advice you can give me today for a first 

date? 

A: A first date seems very easy for some people that 

have been single a while. But sometimes when you’ve 

been out of the loop, there’s certain tips that you 

should remember: 

Ask questions to get to know each other, do not 

make it like an interview. And take turns talking. 

Sometimes being a good listener is most 

important. 

Do not talk about exes, reason for a divorce, 

religion, politics or medical issues on a first date. 

Dress to impress! You have one chance to make a 

great first impression! 

Cheryl Maida 

The Black Tie Club 

Women, always offer to help with the bill. Men, do 

not take her up on that offer! 

Men-always walk a woman to her car. If she saw 

Ladies, offering to pay for valet is a beautiful 

gesture. Women- always thank him! And when you 

get home, text him you’re home safely, and thank 

him again for the dinner. 

Be the date you want to have! 

Q: What types of pictures should I have on my 

dating profile? 

A: Pictures on a dating profile is what will capture the 

interest of others. Use as many full length photos as 

possible. Try to show hobbies and interests in your 

profile. Your pictures should tell a story about who you 

are.l! Try to display different types of looks, such as 

gym attire, a daytime look and definitely one formal 

picture. Minimize filtering as much as possible! And 

keep your pictures as recent as possible.! I always tell 

members in my database, every 4-6 weeks they should 

change up their pictures as well! Keep it interesting! 

Q: I have young children, and I don’t know whether 

I should list their ages on my dating profile. 

A: I believe there’s no point of hiding anything, but at 

the same time, everything doesn’t need to be disclosed 

either. I think listing that you have children and the 

amount of children is very important. Everyone has a 

different opinion as to what age of children will work for 

them. So I believe that could be a conversation after 

you start communicating with someone. You might hit it 

off so much, that having young kids won’t matter to 

someone. Other times, you may be in two different 

stages of life, where an empty nester might not feel 

someone with young kids would be compatible. But at 

least have that opportunity to speak with someone, 

before disqualifying anyone based on an assumption.

dating life, call us at: (561) 702-1419

Max Zengage 

REGULARS | CITY PEOPLE 

To Max Zengage there is no such thing 

as a roadblock. Not in his life or the 

events that he so bravely produces. 

Max is young by community leader standards, 

yet he is wise beyond his years. “I am an old 

soul,” he often muses. 

Perhaps he is. There is no one who would dispute 

that claim. 

As a matter of fact, everyone who knows him is in awe 

of his tenacity and love for Delray Beach (his birthplace). 

“Max’s enthusiasm and energy are infectious. He is 

selfless and puts our town, and the many organizations 

he helps, ahead of his own interests. He is the future of 

leadership in Delray,” said Billy Himmelrich. 

You bet he does. Max spends most of his waking 

hours in the pursuit of making people’s lives better and 

creating ways to support the city he so loves. 

His crowning achievement is bringing the Concours 

d’Elegance event to Delray Beach. This prestigious antique 

car show has a storied past, and up until three 

years ago was not held in Delray. But Max had a dream, 

and when that happens he focuses all of his energy into 

turning every no into a yes. 

The results are spectacular. “We welcomed 10,000 

people last year! It was pretty amazing - we didn’t expect 

that many,” said Max, who is small in stature but 

large in innovation and community participation. 

If you don’t know about the Concours events, then 

you should know they are antique car shows with the 

pomp and circumstance of a regal event. 

To Max it is a huge part of his life. “I spend 4 to 5 hours 

a day making plans for this one day event. This is not 

any car show it is the most prestigious level car event 

in the world.” 

There are 44 of these shows in the US and it is a privilege 

to have one in Delray Beach. To Max, this event is a 

full-time job even though he works for Stuart & Shelby 

in construction administration. 

Max sees both the business angle of his job and 

the fever pitch of loyalty to Delray Beach as the byproduct 

of his profession. “I like working on projects 

that contribute to the community and I get to work 

on historic, affordable and custom homes that add to 

the economy.” 

Those around him are quick to hail his community 

heroism. “Max is an outstanding community leader in 

Delray because he possesses a unique combination of 

traits and qualities that enable him to inspire, motivate,

Creator Of Experiences: 

Delray Visionary And Volunteer 

and guide others towards a common philanthropic goal 

through his joyful events,” said Nicole Grimes. 

To Max all the world is a puzzle to be put into its rightful 

place. He spends most of his time either volunteering 

for good causes or creating them. He recently rode in the 

Delray Holiday Parade on Atlantic Avenue in a caravan 

of 10 classic cars. Each car had a Concours banner with 

community leaders and business people in the cars. 

It’s not the thrill of the hunt that motivates this 

young man, but instead a form of altruism. “All of the 

proceeds go to Delray first responder and youth nonprofits 

that demonstrate measurable impact. Last year 

we raised over $30,000. I feel a great sense of community, 

responsibility and civic duty to the Delray community. 

My family has lived in here for half a century.” 

He makes good on that promise. As a child Max loved 

the Bed Races that often took place in Pineapple Grove. 

The races stopped but recently Max resurrected the 

Bed Races and held them on southeast 2nd Avenue. He 

took pride in showing locals and tourists the sights and 

sounds of the Southern side of town. 

Max was also a volunteer in the caravan that delivered 

Thanksgiving dinners to Delray Beach Fire Rescue 

and Delray Police who were at work that day. “I got to 

ride in a 1937 Ford Fire Truck that had repairs done by 

different charities. Concours was one of the sponsors.” 

To know Max is to know that his love for cars is insurmountable. 

When he starts talking about cars you can 

feel the gravity in his voice and the anticipation in his 

shirt sleeves. “The thing I love about cars is that it’s perfect 

time traveling. To drive on A1A in a classic roadster 

is a natural high. You become one with the car.” 

Max has a way of becoming one with most of his 

outings. He attributes that to his diagnoses of Asperger’s 

syndrome. To some this would be something 

to hide, but to Max it is something to herald. “It is a 

strength by letting me focus and follow through with 

things. I get to come out of my head and splash the 

urban playground.” 

And boy does he. Max is the youngest appointed city 

official in Delray history (chair of the Public Art Advisory 

Board) and is on the board for the Community Classroom 

Project at Space of Mind. 

He also brings classic cars to local events such as Art 

& Jazz on the Avenue. The young man who has a Mas-

ter’s degree in Real Estate Development and a Master’s in Urban planning 

is always dreaming – in a big beautiful way. 

“I plan on running for office in 2030 and I have a 50-year plan for Concours. 

I focus on the future of Delray, especially Artist Alley for next year.” 

Those around Max are amazed at his steely determination and philanthropic 

patronage. “Having Max Zengage in our community has been 

a breath of fresh air! He devotes so much of his time and energy to 

many volunteer projects that he’s involved in. All with the goal of making 

our city a better place for everyone,” said Shelly Himmelrich. 

Jeff Perlman agrees. “Max is an extraordinary young man. He is involved 

in so many worthwhile projects and truly loves Delray Beach. 

He’s extremely smart, very ambitious and works very, very hard. He’s 

making an impact today, but I have a feeling the best is yet to come.” 

If you wonder how this young man of 25 has the heart of a world 

leader and the head of a philanthropist, look no further than his mother, 

Simone Mehlbaum. She worked tirelessly as a fundraiser, lead organizer 

at Max’s school and she created toy and food drives. 

“My mother is my inspiration and role model. She did so much volunteering 

at my school that people thought she was a teacher. She always 

donated her time to nonprofits.” 

It seems the apple does not fall far from the proverbial tree of goodness. 

And, everyone who lives in Delray is grateful for the fertile graciousness 

of spirit that swirls around her son Max. 

The 3rd Annual Concours d’Elegance is April 21st.

INGREDIENTS 

1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts 

3 tablespoons good olive oil 

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

DIRECTIONS 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 

2. Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off 

any yellow outer leaves, then cut them in half. Mix sprouts in a 

bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet 

pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside 

and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time 

to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt

2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves) 

2 teaspoons kosher salt

DIRECTIONS 

1. Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it’s very 

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

clinging to the leaves. 

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

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

it’s browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the 

pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 

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

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

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

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

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

INGREDIENTS 

4 (5 oz. each) salmon fillets 

2 teaspoons olive oil plus 2 tablespoons 

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

MISC | ASK THE PETXPERT 

BY BILL PIECHOCKI 

What defines the so-called true experts? 

For over fifty years in the animal health field, I have been fortunate 

to be at the heart of and involved in many innovative 

advances. So much practical and scientific knowledge is available 

today. The vast wisdom available gives pet parents so many 

options, but how do you know who and what to believe? 

I evaluate the pet health field as a system with many moving and 

functional parts that must work together. A holistic lifestyle is looking 

at the body with its individually specialized systems, such as the 

circulatory or endocrine systems which are dependent upon all the 

other systems. 

With all these innovations available to integrate the care of our 

pets; modern medicine and the pet food industry are taking a specialized 

approach that segregates the various segments instead of 

utilizing integration. Unfortunately, this is more costly for pet owners 

as they are referred to specialists or “so-called” specialty diets 

that look at the symptoms of a condition but not the root causes for 

them to be managed. 

We know that diabetes is a metabolic condition caused by improper 

diet, and liver issues can be caused by toxic chemicals and 

drugs; however, in many cases is reversed with lifestyle changes. The 

conventional approach is a single food entrée as a staple for the rest 

of your pet’s life with no adjustments for any other condition that 

may be caused by this entrée. On the medical side, the approach is to 

manage insulin levels to maintain glucose levels but not to eliminate 

the cause or create a physiological healing solution. 

The same is true with cancer and most other health challenges 

where the conventional approach is to look at the symptoms only 

and prescribe symptom relief instead of searching for the causes and 

correcting them. 

Contrast this with the comprehensive, holistic approach. We will 

use diabetes as an example to illustrate the difference. With all the 

SEND YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR OUR PETXPERT TO: PETS@ATLANTICAVEMAGAZINE.COM 

THESE PETS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 

parameters being the same, the holistic approach is to view the complete 

history of diet, vaccinations, prior challenges, and treatments 

including any adverse effects on record for any of the products. With 

this overall evaluation of risk and benefits, a lifestyle change to heal 

instead of alleviating or masking the symptoms is the approach. Eliminating 

carbohydrate sugar-based foods and restoring normal liver 

and pancreatic functions can allow the body the ability to heal itself. 

That same approach is effective except for traumatic or acute 

emergencies. This aforementioned holistic approach is also appropriate 

as aftercare to these emergency events. The body is designed 

to heal itself and our approach must always be to provide the natural 

tools for that to occur. 

In looking at the different processes, would you rather your pets 

heal and live a long, healthy, and happy life or be symptom- relieved 

but include the adverse effects that come with all drugs and medication, 

which presents both physical and financial stress on the pet 

and its owner? Remember the old saying, “an ounce of prevention is 

worth a pound of cure. “ 

The choice is clear but not always an easy decision to question 

the status quo. You have choices. Find the true experts and question 

them until you understand
