Delray Beach Police<br />
Department - 14th Annual<br />
Awards Banquet<br />
The Delray Beach Police Department<br />
is comprised of 156 sworn officers and<br />
60 civilian support staff. These men and<br />
women are dedicated to their profession<br />
and their community. This year the police<br />
department is recognizing four of their<br />
members who have crossed a significant<br />
milestone in their career. That milestone<br />
is the achievement of more than 20 years<br />
of dedicated service to their community.<br />
In addition, they will recognize the Police<br />
Officer and Employee of the Year for 2016.<br />
The Fourteenth Annual Employee Awards<br />
Dinner is scheduled for <strong>April</strong> 28, <strong>2017</strong>, at<br />
the Delray Beach Marriott. This special<br />
evening will include dinner, entertainment,<br />
and award presentations.<br />
All donations are by check made out to<br />
Delray Citizens for Delray Police and sent<br />
to the police station.<br />
For more information and to learn<br />
about sponsorship OR advertising in the<br />
program book for this event please contact<br />

net or call 561-809-1266.<br />
help them along in achieving their goals.<br />
Knowing that there are almost 80,000<br />
people in Palm Beach County with special<br />
needs and over 150,000 visitors to Miller<br />
Park in Delray Beach each year, the vision<br />
for the grant became obvious: an unrestricted,<br />
boundless, and inclusive playground<br />
and garden area to be built adjacent<br />
to The Miracle League Field. The new<br />
playground will include a shaded space<br />
with wide pathways, level play areas, seating,<br />
and green space with accessibility for<br />
wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment.<br />
Most importantly, it will be an allinclusive<br />
area allowing participation, providing<br />
perspective, and reducing prejudice<br />
for those with differing needs.<br />
Delray Beach Home Tour<br />
Raises A Record $125,000<br />
For The Achievement Centers<br />
For Children And Families<br />
“Impact 100 Men’s Grant<br />
Giveaway”<br />
The first Impact 100 Men’s grant of<br />
$50,000 went to the Miracle League of<br />
Delray Beach. It was felt the money would<br />
make the biggest impact with a program<br />
that would affect the most amount of children,<br />
along with the passion that the founders<br />
of the Miracle League, Julia and Jeff<br />
Kadel show at every game and the energy<br />
and love they show for the children. The<br />
other two finalists The Milagro Center and<br />
Junior Achievement South Florida received<br />
a grant of $3,000 each which will hopefully<br />
Nearly 800 guests enjoyed the 16th annual<br />
Delray Beach Home Tour hosted by<br />
the Achievement Centers for Children &<br />
Families Foundation on March 9th. Ten<br />
beautiful homes and over 130 volunteers<br />
raised a record $125,000 for the agency’s<br />
programs and services providing early<br />
education and child care to low-income<br />
children and families in Delray Beach.<br />
The Home Tour began in 2002 and<br />
has become a widely popular event attracting<br />
people from South Florida and<br />
beyond. The <strong>2017</strong> event was held in the<br />
North beach area of Delray and showcased<br />
homes with a variety of design styles.<br />
Everything from old Florida cottages to<br />
stunning oceanfront estates, the homes<br />
catered to everyone’s tastes and interests.<br />

The Miracle League<br />
Lisa and David Mizen<br />
On February 25, <strong>2017</strong>, The Miracle<br />
League of Palm Beach County celebrated<br />
their 2nd Annual Dinner on the Diamond<br />
event. The Miracle League of Palm Beach<br />
County provides opportunities for all children<br />
to play baseball regardless of their<br />
ability. Although The Miracle League of<br />
Palm Beach County is recognized by its athletic<br />
name, baseball is primarily a vehicle to<br />
encourage kindness, compassion, creativity,<br />
and generosity in the community. Completely<br />
volunteer organized and implemented,<br />
the Dinner on the Diamond incorporates a<br />
catered dinner, live entertainment, and an<br />
auction to raise money to keep the league<br />
fee-free and to support special projects and<br />
improvements. Last year, the funds raised<br />
were allocated toward the purchase and installation<br />
of outdoor lighting at the Miracle<br />
League Field at Robert J. Miller Park in Delray<br />
Beach. This year, Julia Kadel, Founder<br />
and Director, flipped the switch on these<br />
Founders of The Miracle<br />
League Jeff and Julia Kadel<br />
very lights to illuminate the stadium and<br />
the event’s next project. Boundless Dreams<br />
calls for the construction of an all-inclusive<br />
and unrestricted playground adjacent to the<br />
field so that children of all abilities can experience<br />
the joy of play together. The featured<br />
keynote speaker was Robin Jennings, a former<br />
Major League Baseball player, father of<br />
a special needs daughter, and volunteer at<br />
the Salt Lake City, Utah Miracle League. He<br />
shared his personal journey and connected<br />
with everyone in attendance. Billy the Marlin<br />
got everyone dancing to the music of the<br />
John Greco Band and later to the tunes the<br />
Royal DJs were spinning. “We are so grateful<br />
for the support of Robin, auctioneer Jay<br />
Zeager, our sponsors, players, families, and<br />
volunteers who make miracles happen in<br />
our community,” Kadel said. If you would<br />
like to help turn Boundless Dreams into a<br />
reality, please visit www.miracleleaguepalmbeachcounty.com.<br />
to the homes and to the catered waterfront<br />
luncheon that was provided by Carefree Catering.<br />
The event also offered a silent auction<br />
featuring one-of-a-kind artworks by<br />
local artists, exquisite jewelry and luxurious<br />
spa services. To learn more visit www.<br />

Greater Delray Beach<br />
Chamber of Commerce<br />
Launches ‘Donate a Dollar’ Campaign<br />
During 55th Annual Delray Affair<br />
Karen Granger, President & CEO of The<br />
Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce<br />
announced Donate a Dollar, an onsite<br />
fundraising campaign before during and<br />
after the 55th Annual Delray Affair, scheduled<br />
for <strong>April</strong> 7-9. Nicknamed the “Greatest<br />
Show Under the Sun,” Delray Affair is one<br />
of the largest arts and crafts festivals in the<br />
Southeast United States attracting more<br />
than 100,000 visitors, both residents and<br />
tourists, every year.<br />
The event takes place along the palm tree<br />
lined downtown streets of Delray Beach and<br />
stretches 12 city blocks from the Intracoastal<br />
to NW 2nd <strong>Ave</strong>nue, including Old School<br />
Square Park.<br />
The Donate a Dollar fundraising campaign<br />
will benefit the city’s Chamber of<br />
Commerce, which has been the hub of local<br />
business since 1925.<br />
“The Chamber is funded through three<br />
channels: the memberships of local businesses,<br />
programs for professionals supported by<br />
generous sponsors, and proceeds from one<br />
major event—the annual Delray Affair,” says<br />
Granger. “All funds raised during this Donate<br />
a Dollar campaign will support the Chamber’s<br />
efforts to help local businesses succeed<br />
and grow jobs, which expands the tax base<br />
that supports all city functions, including our<br />
local schools, police and fire departments,<br />
and a multitude of other programs and services<br />
that maintains Delray Beach as a desirable<br />
place to live, work and play.”<br />
Every dollar donated will help keep the<br />
Delray Affair profitable so the Greater Delray<br />
Beach Chamber of Commerce can continue<br />
its transformational work in a variety<br />
of areas.<br />
“On behalf of all of our Chamber members<br />
and business partners, I am inviting everyone<br />
to come and enjoy our 55th Annual Delray<br />
Affair, and while they’re here, we hope<br />
they will gladly Donate a Dollar…or two or<br />
five – for everyone’s benefit,” says Granger.<br />
To donate $5, $55 or more online, please<br />
go to www.DelrayAffair.com.<br />

vatican tattoo<br />
studio delray<br />
By jeff kozan<br />
Greetings! My name is Jeff Kozan, born and raised here in Palm Beach<br />
County, and a nearly lifelong resident of Delray Beach. I have been a<br />
professional tattoo artist for over 15 years. I was given a formal apprenticeship<br />
at one of the oldest tattoo studios in Florida, the World Famous<br />
Tatts Taylors Tattooing (R.I.P.). After years of keeping my head down and<br />
learning my craft from a lineage of amazing artists, I opened Vatican Tattoo<br />
Studio in Ft. Lauderdale in 2007. I specialize in large scale Japanese style<br />
tattooing and American traditional imagery. Though these may be my styles<br />
of choice, as a tattooer, you must be able to provide your clientele with any<br />
and all styles. In November of 2016, I opened our newest studio, Vatican<br />
Tattoo Delray here in the heart of Pineapple Grove! Being able to operate<br />
and create art in my home town has been a dream come true. When not<br />
tattooing, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two beautiful children. I<br />
am an avid painter and tiki carver, as well as a devoted Miami Dolphins fan<br />
and connoisseur of fine rum. Stop and by and check out our studio and fine<br />
art gallery, and meet our amazing team! ...and remember, ENJOY YOURSELF!<br />

Now that Delray Beach is a rising star in the art, culture and social<br />
scene, it might seem a little difficult to find affordable activities, shops<br />
or restaurants. I am here to prove you wrong. Delray Beach offers a mix<br />
of high-end boutiques with laid-back restaurants, and events for the<br />
whole family or nightclubs for night owls. Here is what you can do in<br />
Delray Beach in <strong>April</strong> for $50 or less.<br />
It’s that time of the year again when<br />
your straw hat gets as much love as<br />
your bike, sandals and bathing suit.<br />
<strong>April</strong> is Straw Hat Month so grab your<br />
sunny-day staple because you’ve got an<br />
art show to attend. The Delray Affair is<br />
back again – for the 55th year, incredibly<br />
– and is your one-stop-shop for all of<br />
the arts and crafts you didn’t know you<br />
needed. The Delray Affair is the largest<br />
arts and crafts festival in the Southeast<br />
United States and about 600 vendors<br />
are sprinkled along the <strong>Ave</strong>nue from the<br />
Intracoastal to N.W. Second <strong>Ave</strong>nue. The<br />
art festival has earned numerous awards<br />
for the eclectic mixture of fine art, great<br />
crafts and funky products from around<br />
the world and there is no shortage to<br />
the unique and creative arts and crafts<br />
you’ll find. The event is held <strong>April</strong> 7 and<br />
8 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and <strong>April</strong> 9 from<br />
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free so it<br />
leaves you plenty of green to score some<br />
sweet crafts. There’s even a family fun<br />
zone if you want to let the kids go wild so<br />
you can kick back and enjoy the sun and<br />
sights. Visit www.delrayaffair.com or call<br />
(561) 279-0907 for more information.<br />
We love our beaches so let’s help<br />
to keep them clean! <strong>April</strong> is<br />
Keep America Beautiful Month<br />
and the perfect time to put in a little<br />
sweat equity in our own backyard. Spodak<br />
Dental Group has teamed up with<br />
Delivery Dudes, the Downtowner, Saltwater<br />
Brewery, Woo Creative and more<br />
local businesses to host the Seventh Annual<br />
SDG Beach Cleanup. You are invited<br />
to join your local neighbors and walk the<br />
beach to remove all of the garbage that<br />
has unfortunately collected from lazy<br />
beach-goers. The event is held Sunday,<br />
<strong>April</strong> 9 from 8 to 10 a.m. and all supplies<br />
will be provided. There will be a brief<br />
yoga sesh to start the day and then it’s<br />
time to hit the sand and head south<br />
or north. Make sure you bring your<br />
bathing suits so you can hang out<br />
at the beach afterward and enjoy<br />
the fruits of your labor. As a double<br />
bonus, prizes will be awarded to the<br />
three people who collect the most garbage<br />
based on weight so it’s a win, win<br />
for the day. Bring your friends and<br />
meet the team at the South Tower<br />
5, which is right across<br />
from Anchor Park, 340 S.<br />
Ocean Blvd. Visit www.<br />
spodakdental.com or<br />
call (561) 498-0050 for<br />
more information.<br />
Why don’t we<br />
paint the town? And<br />
all that jazz! <strong>April</strong> is<br />
Jazz Appreciation Month and if<br />
you’re in the mood to get jazzy, head<br />
to the Old School Square Pavilion<br />
for the Blues on the Square series.<br />
Jazz’s range is so broad<br />
but, lucky us, we can get a<br />
taste of the sensual live<br />
music through blues,<br />
and what a treat that<br />
it’s right in our backyard!<br />
The Mark Telesca Band performs<br />
on Thursday, <strong>April</strong> 13 and gives their<br />
Delta Blues and Motown sound for all<br />
blues and jazz fan’s listening pleasure.<br />
Joel DaSilva and the Midnight Howl perform<br />
on Thursday, <strong>April</strong> 27 and fill<br />
the air with their Americana/Blues/Rock/<br />
Soul sound for your<br />

enjoyment. The gates open at 6 p.m. and the shows start at<br />
7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the gate and beers are $5, so all<br />
signs point to having a really great time. You are welcome<br />
to bring chairs, but no pets or outside food and beverages.<br />
There will be food trucks, popcorn and ice cream available<br />
so you can fuel to dance the whole night through. The Old<br />
School Square Pavilion is located at 51 N. Swinton <strong>Ave</strong>. Visit<br />
www.oldschoolsquare.org or call (561) 243-7922 for more<br />
information and to purchase tickets.<br />
Let’s get physical, physical. (Well, kind of.) <strong>April</strong> is<br />
Physical Wellness Month and is a great time to focus<br />
on the self. Physical wellness promotes proper<br />
care of our bodies for optimal health and functioning, and<br />
encourages the balance of physical activity, nutrition and<br />
mental well-being to keep your body in tiptop condition.<br />
This could include doing something you haven’t done before,<br />
and that’s where the Morikami Museum & Japanese<br />
Gardens comes into play. They’re hosting The Way of Tea:<br />
Sado Demonstration on <strong>April</strong> 15 and welcome you to observe<br />
Japanese sado, an ever-changing demonstration in<br />
seasonal subtleties. Your involvement in the true spirit of<br />
sado includes harmony (wa), reverence (kei), purity (sei)<br />
and tranquility (jaku), and with the addition of a sip of<br />
green tea and a sweet treat, this will help you to bring a<br />
calm perspective into your busy life. There are even numerous<br />
bonuses to drinking tea, including a healthy dose<br />
of antioxidants, preventing bone loss, boosting your immune<br />
system, and more. The demonstration is held at 12<br />
p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. and is only $5 with a paid museum<br />
admission. The Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens<br />
is located at 4000 Morikami Park Road. Visit www.<br />
morikami.org or call (561) 495-0233 for more information<br />
and to sign up.<br />
It’s liquid gold and it never goes out of style. <strong>April</strong> is National<br />
Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month and it’s pretty<br />
fitting that there’s a holiday for this heavenly sandwich.<br />
Thankfully we have some local restaurants that have elevated<br />
the sandwich way past the plastic-wrapped American<br />
cheese sandwiches of our childhood. Granger’s Grille<br />
dishes up their Glorified Grilled Cheese, which is a combination<br />
of six cheeses and served with Yukon Gold chips<br />
(money in their own right) for only $7.50. If you want to<br />
bring this to an even higher level, add bacon, chili, broccoli,<br />
fried green tomatoes, fried bologna, tomatoes or jalapenos<br />
starting at $1 each, and then order a nap for dessert.<br />
Dada is getting even cheesier with their Seven<br />
Cheese Grilled Cheese, featuring cheddar, Swiss,<br />
goat, blue, sheep feta, Muenster and American<br />
cheeses on sourdough served with tomato<br />
bisque for only $10.50. This sandwich is so<br />
ooey and gooey that it’s impossible to get<br />
through the whole sandwich without the<br />
melty cheese becoming the victim of gravity<br />
and spilling out the sides. But, it’s well worth<br />
the mess. Granger’s Grille is located at 802 S.E.<br />
Fifth <strong>Ave</strong>. and Dada is located at 52 N. Swinton<br />
<strong>Ave</strong>. Visit www.grangersgrille.com and www.sub-culture.<br />

The Meridian Art Experience<br />
in Pineapple Grove Features<br />
‘Our Delray Artists’ in <strong>April</strong><br />
Opening Night at ‘the mAe’ coincides<br />
with the First Friday Art Walk on<br />
<strong>April</strong> 7, 6 to 9 pm<br />
James Blumenfeld and Susan Romaine,<br />
the principals behind The Meridian<br />
Art Experience today announced<br />
that the mAe will feature Our Delray<br />
Artists throughout the month of <strong>April</strong>.<br />
The Our Delray Artists exhibition<br />
will feature 10 of the city’s leading<br />
creative figures, including Steve<br />
Blackwood, Tim Carter, Ellyn Chafetz,<br />
Lucia Gomez, Brenda Gordon, Amelie<br />
Grooscors, Attila Konnyu, Janet Siegel<br />
Rogers, Susan Romaine and Tim<br />
Sebastian.<br />
Located in Delray Beach’s bustling<br />
Pineapple Grove Arts District, the new<br />
gallery is aimed at making the middle<br />
art market approachable, affordable<br />
and experiential by featuring a collection<br />
of emerging and mid-career fine<br />
contemporary artists.<br />
“At the mAe, we believe there is a<br />
vibrant, but under-served community<br />
of art enthusiasts who are interested<br />
in fine art that isn’t homogenized,” says<br />
Blumenfeld. “They are seeking to learn<br />
more and are hungry for experiential<br />
ways to do so. In fact, they are eager to<br />
engage in the fine art of living with art.<br />

“the fate of<br />
the furious”<br />
<strong>April</strong> 7<br />
With the title “The Case for Christ,”<br />
it comes as no surprise this is one of<br />
those faith-based movies, but it is being<br />
released to 1,200 theaters nationwide.<br />
The screenplay, by Brian Bird (“Not<br />
Easily Broken”) is based on a book by<br />
Chicago Tribune investigative reporter<br />
Lee Strobel, whose wife Leslie’s newfound<br />
Christian faith prompted him<br />
to use his reporter’s skill to disprove<br />
the claims of Christianity. The cast includes<br />
Mike Vogel, Erika Christensen,<br />
Faye Dunaway and Robert Forster.<br />
“Smurfs: The Lost Village” should<br />
be fairly self-explanatory. OK, it’s an<br />
original story about those lovable blue<br />
computer-animated characters. Smurfette<br />
(voice of Demi Lovato), Brainy<br />
(Danny Puda), Clumsy (Jack McBrayer)<br />
and Hefty (Joe Manganiello) set off<br />
through the Forbidden Forest filled<br />
with magical creatures to find the Lost<br />
Village before evil wizard Gargomel<br />
(Rainn Wilson) does. Mandy Patinkin<br />
voices Papa Smurf.<br />
“Going in Style” is a remake of the<br />
1979 movie about three oldsters who<br />
pull off a daring bank heist. This time<br />

Three days out to sea Lady Em is found<br />

the work of her apparently devoted assistant,<br />
Brenda Martin, or her lawyer-executor,<br />
Roger Pearson, and his wife, Yvonne,<br />
both of whom she had invited to join them<br />
on the cruise? Or is it Professor Henry<br />

about preparing for one of New York society’s<br />

ball. Descended from two of the oldest<br />
and most distinguished bloodlines in New<br />
York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of<br />
their fledgling country’s founding families,<br />
and even prouder still of their three<br />
daughters—Angelica, with her razorsharp<br />
wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks;<br />
and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival<br />
those of both her sisters, though she’d<br />
rather be aiding the colonists’ cause than<br />
dressing up for some silly ball.<br />
Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement<br />
when she hears of the arrival of one<br />
Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish<br />
young colonel and General George Washington’s<br />
right-hand man. Though Alex has<br />
arrived as the bearer of bad news for the<br />

an orphan, and a bastard one at that—to<br />
be in such esteemed company. And when<br />

change the course of American history.<br />

Sting Enchants<br />
South Florida<br />
By skip SHEFFIELD<br />
PHOTOS by tom craig<br />
The rock star known simply as Sting<br />
treated his fans to an intimate concert at<br />
the Fillmore at Jackie Gleason Theatre,<br />
February 25 in Miami Beach. Sting, born<br />
Gordon Sumner in Newcastle, England, October<br />
2, 1951, began his set with an acoustic<br />
version of “Heading South on the Great<br />
North Road,” followed by a couple songs by<br />
his son Joe Sumner and a five-song set by<br />
Los Bandeleros.<br />
Sting is one of the brainiest and sociallyconscious<br />
artists in rock ‘n’ roll. He taught<br />
English for two years before forming The<br />
Police in 1977 with Andy Summers and<br />
Stewart Copeland. The group was an immediate<br />
hit in the U.K. and Europe before<br />
conquering the USA.<br />
Sting played some Police favorites with<br />
a five-piece band and two backup singers<br />
intermixed with his numerous solo hits<br />
which began in 1985. Looking lean and<br />
fit at age 65, armed with his trusty, wellworn<br />
Fender Precision bass, Sting sang<br />
“Synchronicity,” “Spirits in the Material<br />
World,” “Message in a Bottle,” “Walking on<br />
the Moon,” “So Lonely,” “Roxanne,” “Next to<br />
You,” and as an encore the ubiquitous “Every<br />
Breath You Take.”<br />
This was the 57th and 9th tour in honor<br />
of his latest album. After such solo hits as<br />
“She’s Too Good for Me,” “Englishman in<br />
New York,” “I Can’t Stop Thinking About<br />
You,” “Shape of My Heart” and “Ashes to<br />
Ashes,” Sting capped his show with a second<br />
encore of “The Empty Chair,” which he<br />
had recently performed at the Academy<br />
Awards Show.<br />
A member of The Rock and Roll Hall of<br />
Fame since 2003; declared One of the 100<br />
Most Influential People in the World by<br />
Time magazine in 2011 and composer of<br />
the recent Broadway show “The Last Ship,”<br />
Sting will no doubt continue his creative<br />
output, if not live touring. For one special<br />
evening, fans got to witness him in the flesh.<br />

Ronnie Spector<br />
Vows Fans at Fau<br />
By skip SHEFFIELD<br />
PHOTOS by tom craig<br />
ronnie spector Jimmy Beaumont Herman SantiAGO<br />
The first time Ronnie Spector visited<br />
South Florida it was 1961, to open the Peppermint<br />
Lounge in Miami. It was a sister<br />
club to the original in New York City, where<br />
Veronica Yvette Bennett and her group first<br />
gained fame as teenagers.<br />
Ronnie Spector returned to Florida to<br />
headline an old-school rock ‘n’ roll show<br />
<strong>April</strong> 11 at the Florida <strong>Atlantic</strong> University<br />
Auditorium. Opening acts were Joey Dee<br />
& The Starlighters (who headlined the<br />
Peppermint Lounge), The Skylights with<br />
Jimmy Beaumont and The Teenagers with<br />
Herman Santiago.<br />
Ronnie Spector looks and sounds better<br />
than any ordinary 73-year-old woman<br />
could hope to be. Ronnie Spector is not an<br />
ordinary woman. She got her first recording<br />
contract in 1961 when she was 17. Her<br />
career really took off when she hooked up<br />
with “Wall of Sound” producer Phil Spector.<br />
Ronnie married Phil in 1968. Their marriage<br />
lasted six years. It was tumultuous at<br />
best, but Ronnie kept the name.<br />
The FAU set featured favorite Ronettes<br />
hits such as “Baby I Love You,” “So Young,”<br />
“Walking in the Rain,” “The Best Part of<br />
Breaking Up” and of course “Be My Baby,”<br />
which enjoyed a rebirth in 1986 when Eddie<br />
Money paid tribute to her.<br />
Ronnie also sang some favorite covers,<br />
such as Dave Clark Five’s “Because,” The<br />
Beatles’ “I’ll Follow the Sun,” Ray Charles’<br />
“What’d I Say,” The Bee Gees’ “How Can<br />
You Mend a Broken Heart?” and Amy<br />
Winehouse’s “Black to Black.” Amy was an<br />
avowed Ronnie Spector admirer and emulator.<br />
Ronnie says she has no plans to quit performing.<br />
Who knows? We could see her<br />
again some day.<br />

A Helping Hand to Overcome the Pain<br />
By Dr. John Conde<br />
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is part of a group of disorders called<br />
“compression neuropathies” which causes pain and weakness in the hand<br />
and wrist. The symptoms of CTS can range from mild to incapacitating.<br />
According to a report from the Bureau<br />
of Labor Statistics, carpal tunnel syndrome<br />
was associated with the second longest average<br />
time away from work (27 days) among<br />
the major disabling diseases and illnesses in<br />
all private industries.<br />
The carpal tunnel is a passageway that<br />
forms beneath the strong, broad transverse<br />
ligament. This ligament is a bridge that<br />
extends across the lower palm and connects<br />
the bones of the wrist (carpals) that<br />
form an arch below the tunnel. The median<br />
nerve and nine flexor tendons pass under<br />
the ligament bridge and through the carpal<br />
tunnel. The median nerve plays two important<br />
roles: It supplies sensation to the palm<br />
side of the thumb, index, middle, and ring<br />
fingers, and to the flexor tendons. It provides<br />
function for the muscles at the base<br />
of the thumb (the thenar muscle).<br />
In general, carpal tunnel syndrome develops<br />
when the tissues around the median<br />
nerve swell and press on the nerve. Early<br />
in the disorder, the process is reversible.<br />
Over time, however, the insulation<br />
on the nerves may<br />
wear away, and permanent<br />
nerve damage may<br />
develop. The symptoms<br />
from the compression<br />
are pain,<br />
numbness, tingling,<br />
burning, cramping,<br />
weakness or atrophy<br />
in the wrist, hand, and<br />
fingers, clumsiness or<br />
dropping things frequently.<br />
Only the little finger is unaffected<br />
by the median nerve.<br />
Carpal tunnel syndrome is considered<br />
an inflammatory disorder<br />
52 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
caused by repetitive stress, physical injury,<br />
or a medical condition. Workers who<br />
use their hands and wrists repetitively are<br />
at risk for CTS such as computer workers<br />
and typists. It occurs in females three<br />
times more than males. Other risk factors<br />
include obesity, pregnancy, smoking, alcohol<br />
abuse, or significant mental stress.<br />
CTS sometimes runs in families, which<br />
suggests that it has some type of genetic<br />
origin. When people who are susceptible<br />
to CTS are subjected to repetitive hand or<br />
wrist work, the risk for CTS can become<br />
significant. CTS, then, is very likely to be<br />
due to a combination of factors that lead<br />
to nerve damage in the hand.<br />
The goals in treating CTS are to reduce<br />
inflammation, break up fibrotic adhesions<br />
(scar tissue), and restore proper<br />
joint motion thus reducing stress on the<br />
median nerve. This involves some simple<br />
procedures including Instrument Assisted<br />
Soft Tissue Mobilization Therapy<br />
that utilizes mild stainless instruments<br />
which aid in breaking up existing<br />
scar tissue, remodel the soft tissue within<br />
and realign new collagen fibers. New cutting<br />
edge procedures involve the use of<br />
high power class IV lasers that accelerate<br />
energy production and tissue healing<br />
by nearly tenfold. Performing Neurological<br />
Muscular Rehabilitation and “nerve<br />
flossing” can also retrain the nerve pathways<br />
to prevent excessive tone in the region.<br />
Simple tips to help with CTS include<br />
heat, splinting, nutritional support including<br />
B6 and joint support, proper posturing<br />
and changing up work stations to<br />
have proper ergonomics to reduce stress<br />
on the wrists.<br />
As surgery is not always a cure for CTS,<br />
many practitioners now recommend a full<br />
trial of conservative treatment before going<br />
under the knife.<br />

Tighten Your<br />
Turkey Neck<br />
By Thomas C. Balshi, M.D.<br />
{<br />
“The aging face”…that’s how many of my articles seem to start. Not<br />
today. Let’s talk about the neck. Our passion for the perfect face<br />
often neglects the equally visible neck, a part of our anatomy that<br />
bespeaks age just as much as our facial contours.<br />
The neck is just as prone to wrinkling<br />
and sagging as the skin on the face, and if<br />
ignored, can be the giveaway to real age<br />
for men and women alike.<br />
For those who dream to tighten skin and<br />
eliminate wrinkles without the fear of surgery,<br />
technology is a steadfast friend. New<br />
treatment modalities can improve the aging<br />
neck using a technique that harnesses<br />
the power of radio frequency without any<br />
incisions. It’s called ThermiTight.<br />
ThermiTight is a non-surgical, minimally<br />
invasive alternative to surgery for<br />
skin tightening. The treatment uses radio<br />
frequency (a heat energy) to stimulate<br />
collagen production beneath the skin,<br />
which improves sagging and texture<br />
and decreases wrinkling.<br />
How Does ThermiTight<br />
Work?<br />
ThermiTight is formally<br />
described as “thermistorcontrolled<br />
subdermal skin<br />
tightening,” which basically<br />
means that controlled<br />
heat is targeted<br />
at the collagen layer of<br />
the skin. To get under<br />
the skin, the ThermiRF<br />
system is used along with a<br />
tiny probe called the SmartTip<br />
probe, which is inserted just below the<br />
surface. It functions like an injection but<br />
without a needle. Don’t worry, before any<br />
of this happens, the treated area will be<br />
numbed with a small amount of local<br />
anesthetic solution, ensuring patient<br />
comfort through the duration of the<br />
procedure.<br />
The physician delivers the radio frequency<br />
energy into the area through gentle<br />
movements that heat the subdermal<br />
tissue (collagen layer) to a specific internal<br />
temperature. The physician uses the<br />
Thermal Image Guidance to monitor external<br />
temperatures and ensure the safety<br />
of the skin, both inside and outside. Most<br />
procedures last less than an hour and are<br />
followed up with a gentle wrap.<br />
Downtime following this procedure is<br />
minimal, with most patients resuming<br />
normal activities as early as the next day<br />
without any discomfort or bruising.<br />
Results can be noted immediately but<br />
can take up to three months to see maximum<br />
improvement. Generally, most patients<br />
only need a single treatment, but if<br />
warranted, a second treatment could<br />
be administered a few months<br />
after the first treatment.<br />
These treatments are<br />
not meant to replace<br />
a traditional<br />
face or neck lift<br />
for cases where<br />
more comprehensive<br />
care is<br />
required, but<br />
if one is trying<br />
to avoid surgery,<br />
radio frequency<br />
technology<br />
can offer<br />
marked esthetic<br />
improvement, not<br />
only to the neck, but<br />
to other parts of<br />
the body where excess<br />
flab and wrinkling<br />
diminish one’s<br />
self-satisfaction.<br />

{<br />
Smile,<br />
it’s good for you!<br />
BY Craig Spodak, DMD, PA<br />
There are countless<br />
benefits to having a<br />
straight, healthy smile<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
Smiling is one of the easiest ways to boost<br />
your health, and is the gateway to your happiness<br />
and confidence. Americans spend<br />
trillions of dollars every year trying to boost<br />
health, focusing on supplements, the newest<br />
fitness routines, diets and health care,<br />
but don’t consider their smile in the mix.<br />
However, not everyone enjoys all the healthful<br />
benefits of a straight and vibrant smile if<br />
they’re embarrassed to smile.<br />
Eighty percent of Americans suffer from<br />
some level of malocclusion or imperfect position<br />
of the teeth when the jaws are closed.<br />
This crowding of the teeth not only leaves<br />
us embarrassed to smile, but often results<br />
in gum disease, decay, bone loss, and ultimately<br />
tooth loss. Once affected, these<br />
dental ailments will all prove to be both uncomfortable<br />
and costly. They can even have<br />
devastating ramifications for your overall<br />
health and wellbeing, contributing to a<br />
greater risk of systemic infection, heart disease,<br />
diabetes, low birth weight, and more.<br />
If this sounds like you or someone you<br />
know, don’t worry because there is help on<br />
the dental horizon.<br />

BENEFITS OF SMILING<br />
Beyond the immediate health benefits of<br />
straighter teeth, there are many emotional<br />
and social benefits to flashing a bright, beautiful<br />
smile. Did you know smiling not only<br />
reduces stress but also lowers your heart<br />
rate? Or that smiling increases productivity,<br />
boosts your immune system, increases<br />
attention and makes you look younger? It<br />
is statistically proven that those who smile<br />
more feel better about their lives and circumstances.<br />
That’s because smiling releases<br />
chemicals in the brain that trigger a “happiness<br />
response” that not only builds a sense<br />
of confidence, optimism and satisfaction,<br />
but also helps to boost the immune system<br />
to perform better and protect us from harm.<br />
Additionally, people who smile freely are<br />
typically perceived as more approachable,<br />
more positive, and more trustworthy.<br />
Path TO ALIGNMENT<br />
Don’t hide your inner health, beauty and<br />
confidence behind pursed lips. Invisalign®<br />
is the newest option for people who strive<br />
for a straighter smile, and the benefits are<br />
easy to see. Unlike the unsightly, uncomfortable<br />
bands and wires of traditional braces,<br />
Invisalign® technology employs clear, comfortable,<br />
and removable aligners to gently<br />
and efficiently straighten your teeth, often<br />
within a fraction of the time and cost of traditional<br />
treatment. The removable aligners<br />
effectively treat a wide variety of cases including<br />
crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite<br />
and underbite, all while allowing you<br />
the convenience of eating whatever foods<br />
you enjoy. Regardless of what stage you’re at<br />
in life, Invisalign® offers you more comfort,<br />
convenience and confidence while straightening<br />
your teeth, and has minimal interference<br />
on how you live. There are so many<br />
healthful benefits and empowering properties<br />
of straight, beautiful teeth, so contact<br />
your dentist today and start attaining the<br />
smile you deserve.<br />

The Buddy System<br />
By Ashley Sica<br />
Lacking some motivation for your workout these days? A gym buddy<br />
just might be the solution to your workout blues! Here are 5 reasons<br />
why getting your sweat on with a friend may improve your health and<br />
{give you that motivation you need to get your gym mojo back on!<br />
3. Good Ole’ Support<br />
Because we’re all human, at some point<br />
you’ll probably feel like throwing in the<br />
towel for various reasons. However, the<br />
support from your workout partner will<br />
most likely be just what you need to stay on<br />
track. A good workout buddy will be there<br />
to listen to your woes and then to tell you to<br />
get your butt back in the gym, just like any<br />
good friend would! The support you will<br />
both offer each other will be immeasurable.<br />
4. Buddy Assessments<br />
It’s difficult to view yourself objectively.<br />
When it comes to your fitness progress,<br />
you may not notice how your strength and<br />
endurance is improving or that you’ve lost<br />
weight or gained muscle over time. Your<br />
workout buddy can view you more objectively<br />
and remind you of your progress.<br />
Having that validation can help bolster<br />
your self-esteem and keep your motivation<br />
levels high.<br />
1. Accountability<br />
It’s one thing to bail on your own workout,<br />
but it’s much harder to ditch a workout<br />
when you’re letting your workout buddy<br />
down. Having a workout partner means<br />
planning your workouts in advance to accommodate<br />
each other’s schedules - and<br />
once it’s scheduled, it’s much more likely<br />
that you’re going to follow through. So<br />
when you’re feeling lazy and want to skip<br />
your workout, having the accountability of<br />
a workout buddy will greatly increase your<br />
chances of making that workout happen!<br />
2. Try New Workouts<br />
Sometimes it can be intimidating walking<br />
into a new environment…new workout,<br />
new people etc. That’s where your<br />
workout buddy comes into play! Having<br />
a friend there with you can make the experience<br />
much less intimidating and definitely<br />
a lot more fun!<br />
5. Step Up Your Game<br />
Let’s be honest, we as human beings<br />
like to compete with one another. Having<br />
a workout buddy who is just a little fitter,<br />
just a little stronger than you are will keep<br />
you on your toes and striving for a little<br />
more in your workout. By trying to keep<br />
up with them, you will challenge yourself<br />
in ways that you cannot do alone.<br />

The Brightest Design Stars<br />
LEIGHTON DESIGN GROUP<br />
By diane feen<br />
{<br />
If<br />
you mention the words Leighton Design<br />
Group accolades come tumbling from the sky.<br />
The full service design firm understands<br />
that light, space and size intersect at all angles<br />
of interior and exterior spaces. They also<br />
understand that harmony is not just a verbal<br />
command but something worked at with<br />
passion and zeal.<br />
And that’s exactly what they do.<br />
Founder Chris Leighton knew by age 11<br />
that design was his passion. He got a degree<br />
in architecture and in 1979 became the<br />
Design Director for Club Med in the Middle<br />
East, Africa and the Mediterranean. In 1989<br />
he started his own Design firm in Rochester,<br />
New York and ten years ago he opened a Delray<br />
Beach office.<br />
Let’s just say there are a lot of people very<br />
happy with his decision. “Before finding<br />
Leighton I didn’t like any of the designers I<br />
met because they tried to impose their vision<br />
on me. I collect mid-century modern furniture<br />
and have a strong design sense. Leighton<br />
made my home comfortable and warm with<br />
simple clean lines. Their work is so good I<br />
hired them to design six other projects for<br />
me,” said retired lawyer Fred Tanne.<br />
Tanne isn’t the only one singing Leighton<br />
praises. Everyone who works with them is<br />
smitten with their professionalism and design<br />
sense. When they finished the lobbies<br />
and common areas of the Chalfonte Condominium<br />
it was praised by all who entered.<br />
“After seeing the Chalfonte everyone wanted<br />
their lobbies like that. It created a huge buzz,”<br />
said Senior Designer Rebecca Brown<br />
That buzz continues – not just for designing<br />
elegant condo lobbies and homes - but<br />
photo by melissa korman
for high-end salons and spas, fine restaurants,<br />
hotels, urban lofts and sprawling<br />
beach-front homes.<br />
They also work for some of the top names<br />
in construction. Leighton designed the lobby<br />
and interior of the celebrated Seagate Hotel,<br />
and the luxurious four-story Yacht Club<br />
townhouses for Seaside Builders. Their work<br />
on the Barrier Island has become legend for<br />
its elegant clean lines and delicate approach<br />
to light and spatial harmony.<br />
To understand the scope of Leighton Design<br />
Group it’s important to know they are<br />
a full scale Design firm. That means they do<br />
everything from conception to completion<br />
including drawings, picking out all hard finishes<br />
(such as flooring, colors, backsplashes,<br />
materials, furniture and lighting) and everything<br />
else in between. If a client wants a<br />
turnkey home they will stock the fridge, buy<br />
linens and make it live-in ready. “We can create<br />
an open floor plan, knock down walls and<br />
transform space into something of beauty,”<br />
said Brown.<br />
Their work is just as diverse as the projects<br />
they are commissioned. But one thing<br />
is constant - Their design vision is always in<br />
sync with the clients.<br />
“We listen to our clients and make sure our<br />
goals are what they envision for their space.<br />
Some people want a family environment,<br />
others want high energy and still others want<br />
tranquility. We keep track of every detail that<br />
goes into a project so the client is happy and<br />
stress free,” said founder Chris, who is the<br />
ultimate design genius and amenable head<br />
coach of a staff of 20.<br />
Leighton is devoted to making sure every<br />
detail is of equal importance so client’s<br />
homes (or businesses) match their design<br />
aspirations. Chris calls it working holistically.<br />
“We make sure that every aspect you visually<br />
encounter is coordinated with every item<br />
chosen. We make sure the flow from space to<br />
space is smooth - taking into account visual<br />
appeal, acoustics, ergonomics, sustainability<br />
and budget.”<br />
Leighton is known for their sleek clean<br />
design sensibility that they call Organic Minimalism.<br />
But when it comes to their code of<br />
design ethics their completed spaces range<br />
the gamut of the personalities they encounter.<br />
Retired attorney Gary Lachman is proof<br />
of that theory. The former Washington<br />
DC resident moved from a two-bedroom<br />
1,900-square-foot apartment to a three story<br />
3,900-square-foot home. The only problem<br />
was that his new space – according to him –<br />
was a “heinous tableau of terrible color with<br />
dismal lighting.”<br />
But now he’s singing a new tune. “They<br />
painted my walls white and added fantastic<br />
fixtures. There are quartz crystal lights,<br />
Halogen and LED lighting. The foyer has a<br />
fixture with 25 crystals suspended at varying<br />
heights in different shapes. We used my furniture,<br />
but also bought new things. Rebecca<br />
reminded me of a conductor in charge of an<br />
orchestra. She pulled it all together – taking<br />
my art – recognizing all the positives and embellishing<br />
on them. She was also sensitive to<br />
my taste and lifestyle. Most designers come<br />
with a sense of what your place ‘should look<br />
like’ and they don’t allow you to be you.”<br />
Brown is equally as passionate as Chris.<br />
The daughter of a successful designer she<br />
was introduced to the world of color and<br />
shape as a child. “I’ve been ingrained in this<br />
business my whole life. My mom (who was a<br />
designer) brought me to houses and showed<br />
me color palates and design ideas for years.”<br />
Leighton Design Group has been profiled in<br />
prestigious publications such as Luxe Design,<br />
The New York Times and Hospitality Design<br />
and their projects go from coast to coast and<br />
global. What distinguishes this firm from others<br />
is their modern design sense and client focus.<br />
“We cater to whatever a clients’ vision is.<br />
We make their dreams become a reality. We<br />
can create open floor plans, knock down walls<br />
and transform space,” said Brown.<br />
They also follow up on all projects to ensure<br />
that the finished product meets – and<br />
exceeds – clients’ expectations. “Years later<br />
we return to freshen and update. We’re<br />
proud of the reputation and accolades we’ve<br />
earned, but it’s the lasting relationships<br />
we’ve built with our clients that we value the<br />
most,” said Chris.<br />

Tommy Dott, Personal Transformation Coach<br />
Transforming Life At A Crossroads...<br />
Tommy Dott Coaching<br />
By Martin LenkowskY<br />
{<br />
Each<br />
and every one of us shares the same three basic needs:<br />
love, safety, and belonging, explains Tommy Dott, a certified<br />
personal transformation and relationship recovery coach.<br />
He says his approach is to “go a little<br />
deeper” than would a life coach. “I help<br />
my clients transform emotional habits<br />
and beliefs that slow them down or stop<br />
them from getting what they want,” Tommy<br />
says.<br />
Tommy uses volleyball as an analogy to<br />
illustrate how we tend to hold ourselves<br />
back. “One side of the net is where you are<br />
now,” he says. “The other side of the net is<br />
where you want to be.”<br />
62 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
However, there stands an obvious obstacle.<br />
“The net standing between the two<br />
places represents all the ‘junk’ our brains<br />
conjure up when it feels that love, safety<br />
or belonging might get compromised.”<br />
It’s a sad, but true fact: life isn’t always<br />
a dozen red roses. People are always dealing<br />
with a myriad of problems whether relationship<br />
related, financial, dealing with<br />
body image or grappling with uncertainty.<br />
The list goes on.<br />
Tommy refers back to our three basic human<br />
needs. “After a breakup, people often get<br />
stuck and overwhelmed. As a relationship<br />
recovery coach, I talk a lot about fear, guilt,<br />
or the feeling of ‘not being good enough’.”<br />
But, and please pardon the cliché, all<br />
is far from lost - even for the brokenhearted.<br />
“In reality, that’s the best time to<br />
experience freedom and a personal reinvention,”<br />
Tommy explains, “but negative<br />
feelings sneak in first.”
Getting back to our metaphorical volleyball game, Tommy<br />
views the net as being the “hooks” that make us hesitant when<br />
trying to make forward movement. In the case of a tough<br />
breakup, the hooks are fear and uncertainty. “The trick is to<br />
recognize when the negative hook enters your mind.” he says.<br />
“When it gets you, you want to change that negative hook into<br />
something positive. A big part of my coaching is turning those<br />
hooks into empowering moments.”<br />
Tommy is a seasonal Delray Beach resident. He resides the<br />
rest of the year on Cape Cod where he co-owns and runs an<br />
inn and wellness studio. He maintains an office to see his clientele<br />
up north, but also does a lot of coaching on the phone<br />
and via Skype. “I can work with clients from anywhere in the<br />
world,” he says.<br />
Originally from Westchester County, N.Y., he became certified<br />
as a coach two years ago. During his training, he experienced<br />
transformation coaching from both sides. “I experienced<br />
the power of changing your mental conversation as<br />
both coach and client,” he says. During that time he also became<br />
certified in meditation instruction and stress reduction.<br />
He says when clients talk to him about their fears and anxieties,<br />
he explains to them that each of those moments are actually<br />
opportunities. He cites the case of an artist client who<br />
would “struggle with self-doubt” every time she had to show<br />
her work to a gallery owner. “She would say, ‘I hope they like<br />
my work,’ but ‘want and hope’ are hedging your bets on something<br />
you have no control over,” Tommy explains with a smile.<br />
“I asked her to change “I hope” to ‘I wonder.’ Make everything<br />
an adventure!”<br />
Tommy Dott Coaching offers a “5-week Tune-up” and a “10<br />
week Total Transformation” program that can be viewed on<br />

A large sailing chart of the West Indies<br />
adorns a wall in his shop. The Goldsmith<br />
shop is small, cozy, quaint and filled with<br />
many tools of the artisan/jewelry trade.<br />
There’s a multi-colored assortment of pliers<br />
in a rack he built himself. There’s also a<br />
book shelf filled with various books on jewelry.<br />
“I’m doing this because I love this,” he<br />
says. “It’s like a hobby. The customers are<br />
nice. They like my work. I’ve also done art<br />
shows in the past, but not anymore.”<br />
At that point, a young woman walks into<br />
his shop with two necklaces that need soldering.<br />
She also leaves him a watch that<br />
needs a battery replaced. In addition to creative<br />
jewelry, Tom also does watch repair,<br />
band shortening, as well as gold and silver<br />
soldering. The atmosphere in The Goldspecial<br />

{It comes as no surprise that Tom Fritch, a master goldsmith and<br />
craftsman, came to own a downtown (Pineapple Grove) Delray<br />
Beach jewelry store; he was simply fulfilling a lifetime dream.<br />
“I knew I wanted to move to Florida and be a jeweler,” he says.<br />

Tom owns The Goldsmith Shop, 140 NE<br />
2nd <strong>Ave</strong>., Suite 12, in My Salon Suites. He<br />
combines art and jewelry under the same<br />
roof. “I’m a creative jeweler. I’m a bench<br />
jeweler,” he says describing his artisan approach<br />
to jewelry making. “I’ve always liked<br />
the tools. I’m more of an artist. I’ve done<br />
sculpturing. I even sold a piece.”<br />
He takes out a scrapbook photo of the<br />
rather unique sculpture he sold. It’s an allbrass<br />
replica of the iconic Wright’s brother’s<br />
aircraft. He sold it to a friend who owned a<br />
bar/restaurant near the Allentown, PA airport.<br />
“So he wanted to keep it with an airplane<br />
theme.” Tom says. “I used the money<br />
to pay for a trip to San Diego.”<br />
Tom, a Pennsylvania native, attended Lehigh<br />
University and studied (electrical) engineering.<br />
He worked for two major corporations<br />
in the engineering field. However, he<br />
had a dream, and knew it was time to make<br />
his move. He did it with a truly unique touch<br />
back in 1976. “I got on my boat and sailed<br />
from New Jersey to Florida,” he says, adding<br />
he also did a considerable amount of sailing<br />
in the Caribbean and the Bahamas as well.
Installing a watch battery<br />
smith Shop is also quite soothing with Frank Sinatra’s “I Love<br />
Paris” playing softly in the background.<br />
“I like to do creative work, one-of-a-kind pieces,” he says,<br />
pointing out some of his most unique creations, including a<br />
striking gold cross pendant with a Jewish star in its center. “I can<br />
do anything. I’m not a manufacturer.”<br />
Tom proudly displays samples of some of the many rings he’s<br />
created. He’s now working on re-doing a pair of earrings made<br />
from sea shells. “The shells are broken. I’m going to repair them,”<br />
he says. “I’m at a point that if a job looks interesting, why not do it?”<br />
It will be three years next month that Tom’s shop has been at<br />
its current location.<br />
The Goldsmith Shop is not the first jewelry business he owned.<br />
In 1980 he opened his first jewelry store called “Jewelry Works”<br />
in North Fort Lauderdale. Tom opened his second jewelry store<br />
in 1985 in Boca Raton called “The Boca Goldsmith.” In 2001 he<br />
moved to another Delray Beach jewelry store and leased a small<br />
repair and jewelry design shop. In 2014, he opened the Goldsmith<br />
Shop.”<br />
Tom’s creative side has always been present, even when he<br />
was still working at an engineering firm. “I had a little silver shop<br />
in Pennsylvania,” he says.<br />
A lot of what Tom does has been self-taught, he says. “I learned<br />
to do quartz watches.” Plus, he has taken a lot of art courses – especially<br />
in the art of sculpture – he says. Tom specializes in both<br />
antique and contemporary jewelry repairs, diamonds, precious<br />
gems, and pearl stringing. He is also certified in Rolex repairs. The<br />
Goldsmith Shop does individually-crafted, custom designs. Watch<br />
batteries are installed while you wait.<br />

Conde Center for<br />
Chiropractic Neurology<br />
A Technological Achievement in Medicine<br />
{By Diane Feen<br />

Dr. Conde established the Conde Center for Chiropractic Neurology<br />
with a goal of transitioning patients from pain and neurological<br />
dysfunction to wellness. “I realized quickly that this grandiose<br />
endeavor could only be attained with an astute examination, worldclass<br />
staff and the most innovative equipment,” said Dr. Conde.<br />

Class IV High POWer Laser Therapy<br />
66 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
There are less than one thousand Board<br />
Certified Chiropractic Neurologists in the<br />
country. Dr. Conde is one of them. His approach<br />
to healthcare utilizes advanced neurological<br />
rehabilitation in conjunction with<br />
traditional physical medicine.<br />
He graduated Summa Cum Laude (and was<br />
Valedictorian of his class) at Parker College of<br />
Chiropractic in Dallas, and completed three<br />
years of post-doctorate training in neurology.<br />
Dr. Conde’s post- graduate training in healing<br />
modalities advanced his desire to help those<br />
who can’t help themselves. “My desire has<br />
trickled down to my staff, including my ‘star’<br />
associate physician (as I affectionately refer<br />
to her), Dr. Alycia Pugh.<br />
The Conde Center for Chiropractic Neurology<br />
has a loyal following that come for the<br />
latest advancements in rehabilitation, orthopedic<br />
and neurological state-of-the-art care.<br />
“The demand for this type of non-invasive<br />
treatment has increased and so has our practice<br />
size. The Conde Center for Chiropractic<br />
Neurology occupies almost 4,400-squarefeet<br />
in downtown Delray.”<br />
The technological advances used in the office<br />
include Class IV Laser Therapy that treats<br />
orthopedic conditions such as Neuropathy,<br />
Sports Injuries, Plantar Fasciitis, Rheumatoid<br />
Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Shoulder,<br />
Back and Knee Pain. “We can accelerate the<br />
healing and kick-start the regenerative capacity<br />
of tissues. It also decreases the healing<br />
time tenfold and is highly effective in reducing<br />
inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms,<br />
stiffness and pain,” said Dr. Conde.<br />
Their Whole Body Vibration Therapy is a
state-of-the-art body vibration cage that accelerates<br />
muscle strength much faster than<br />
traditional rehabilitation. It also helps to<br />
mineralize bones, makes them stronger and<br />
increases their flexibility. Research has demonstrated<br />
that WBVT aids in the prevention<br />
and treatment of osteoarthritis osteoporosis,<br />
neck-back pain and sports injuries.<br />
Studies have shown that spinal surgery<br />
is not always the best remedy for spinal orthopedic<br />
conditions. That’s why Dr. Conde<br />
is so bullish on his Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression<br />
Therapy (NSSDT). “It works<br />
wonders for the treatment of herniated<br />
discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, lower back<br />
and neck pain.” Clinical studies have shown<br />
that 86 percent of patients that did NSSDT<br />
had immediate symptom relief, while 84%<br />
remained symptom free for 90 days.<br />
“For NSSDT you lie down and a patient<br />
specific protocol is entered into a computer<br />
that simulates an anti-gravity effect on your<br />
back. This helps herniated material return to<br />
its normal position and stop pain. The treatment<br />
is gentle, painless with intermittent<br />
pulling of the back,” said Dr. Conde.<br />
The Computerized Dynamic Posturography<br />
(or CAPS) measures the nuances of balance.<br />
It is used as a detection tool for diagnosing<br />
brain dysfunction in its earliest stage.<br />
As the individual makes small movements<br />
the sensitive detectors in the platform (under<br />
the person) detects and transmit subtle<br />
information to a computer. “The information<br />
is utilized to determine alterations for center<br />
of pressure (or sway) and aides in the calculation<br />
of the direction and amount of sway.<br />
This helps us formulate a precise diagnosis<br />
for rehabilitation.”<br />
The Conde Center is also using a revolutionary<br />
diagnostic and rehabilitative tool<br />
called the Dynavision D2. It works on areas<br />
of the brain responsible for problem solving,<br />
timing, sequencing, planning, thought processes<br />
and coordination.<br />
“When using the D2, the patient manually<br />
compresses targets made of 64 blinking LED<br />
lights. The information is then recorded and<br />
attention is placed on speed and sequence.”<br />
The Dynavision D2 has been utilized in<br />
many studies; including one the Conde Center<br />
was involved in with the Upledger Institute<br />
and the Ricky Williams Foundation.<br />
“This study neurologically assessed retired<br />
National Football League players who had<br />
at least one concussion in their career. The<br />
results were astounding because the players<br />
displayed numerous deficiencies in<br />
brain activity.”<br />

Dr. Pugh analyzing a digital x-ray taken on-site<br />
The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a therapeutic<br />
assessment and training program that<br />
improves attention, concentration, motor<br />
planning and sequencing. Improvements in<br />
those areas results in stronger motor control<br />
and coordination, enhanced balance<br />
and gait and improved language and cognition.<br />
IM provides a structured, goal-oriented<br />
program that challenges the patient to synchronize<br />
a range of whole body exercises to a<br />
precise computer-generated beat.<br />
“When the brain’s functional networks are<br />
synchronized, the neurons are able to fire<br />
efficiently and rhythmically. This improves<br />
executive functions such as problem solving,<br />
planning, short term memory, coordination,<br />
and balance,” said Dr. Conde.<br />
VISUALEYES VNG - Video Nystagmography<br />
Testing is the gold standard in the<br />
assessment of physiological lesions in the<br />
central nervous system and vestibular system.<br />
This information is important to the chiropractic<br />
neurologist because it allows them<br />
to pin-point what side the problem is on and<br />
where in the brain the problem can be found.<br />
“Therapeutic outcomes are improved<br />
drastically because of this tool. The VNG also<br />
allows for a targeted treatment plan with emphasis<br />
on the deficient regions of the brain.<br />
The goal is to promote neuroplasticity, the<br />
brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming<br />
new neural connections in response to<br />
targeted stimuli in the areas that are underfunctioning,”<br />
said Dr. Conde.<br />
The Conde Center for Chiropractic Neurology<br />
also offers resistance training with stateof-the<br />
art equipment, a radiology suite for<br />
digital-rays and massage therapy. They treat<br />
back and neck pain, numbness and tingling,<br />
sciatica, sports related injuries, vertigo, dizziness<br />
and balance disorders, traumatic brain<br />
injuries and auto injuries, just to name a few.<br />
“My mission is to make a permanent<br />
change in a person’s life and in their health.<br />
Our main objective is to insure the health and<br />
well being of our patients. That is why I chose<br />
neurology as my specialty, and it also why I<br />
seek out – and invest in - cutting edge equipment.<br />
We pride ourselves on offering the least<br />
invasive treatments with the best results.”<br />

Fast, Affordable Service and ‘House Calls’<br />
scratch car<br />

{It’s one of those things that always seems to happen to the other<br />
guy, but lo and behold; this time it was this writer’s turn. I parked<br />
my leased Toyota Camry in an uncrowded Publix parking lot for just<br />
a few short minutes, and in my brief absence, someone managed to<br />
put a few noticeable nicks and scratches on the right front fender.<br />
At first I tried a little do-it-yourself paint<br />
brush up. Big mistake; it still looks lousy. Being<br />
I’m really not the owner, I always knew deep<br />
down I’ll have to deal with it professionally<br />
someday. Enter Scratch Car in Delray Beach!<br />
For a low price ($150) and guaranteed fine<br />
quality, I can return my car looking good as new<br />
to the dealer, said manager Fernando Rezende.<br />
Scratch Car, located at 1 Linton Blvd, Bay<br />
19 (on the northwest corner of Linton and<br />
Dixie Highway), is far from your usual auto<br />
paint and repair shop. “We give quick and fast<br />
68 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
service with fair pricing,” Fernando said. “Our<br />
prices are lower. We get it done quicker without<br />
jeopardizing quality. We try to accommodate<br />
our customers.”<br />
Fernando says Scratch Car can handle all<br />
types of body repairs including, full collision,<br />
painting, fixing scratches, molding, fender and<br />
bumper repair - all in a timely manner. If your<br />
vehicle needs body work, all you need to do is<br />
make an appointment at Scratch Car, and their<br />
team of trained technicians can focus on your<br />
car only. “When you come in to pick up your<br />
Manager Fernando Supervising his team<br />
car,” Fernando said, “it will be ready.” If you<br />
take your damaged vehicle to most body/paint<br />
shops, your car will be just one of maybe 50<br />
cars there waiting their turn for repair. “It’s like<br />
a production line. We work by appointment so<br />
the techs will be working on only your car. It’s<br />
like going to the dentist,” he said. “They only see<br />
you at a specific time.”<br />
And Scratch Car also offers something quite<br />
unique to its happy patrons: their skilled technicians<br />
can come directly to your home or office.<br />
They have seven mobile units. “Anything<br />
that doesn’t require too much body work, we<br />
can do at (your) home,” Fernando said, adding<br />
they can paint your car, and remove most minor<br />
dents and scratches at your very own doorstep.<br />
Fernando says their “house call” service is<br />
available by appointment only Monday to Friday.<br />
Scratch Car’s mobile technicians have all<br />
the tools and equipment with them to get the<br />
job done right. Plus, these off-site repairs are<br />
available in parts of both Palm Beach and Broward<br />
counties. However, “heavy repairs” need<br />
to be done at the shop. Scratch Car uses the<br />
newest, most innovative products available to<br />
give your car fast, prompt service. Today’s auto<br />
paint contains newer, fast-drying chemicals.<br />
Scratch Car owner Adrian Cardoso opened<br />
his business because he was growing tired of<br />
waiting for things that take too long. He wanted<br />
a body shop that could get the job done quickly<br />
for its customers. Not only did the owner want<br />
to save his clientele time, but money as well by<br />
keeping his prices low.<br />
All of their technicians are well trained in
Brosley masking the car for paint<br />
Thiago Spraying a car<br />
all areas of auto repair. This way, each technician<br />
can do all the work on every car, unlike<br />
the traditional assembly-line approach most<br />
body shops employ. In the more traditional<br />
body shops, some people are trained to paint,<br />
whereas others might be limited to only fender<br />
work. At Scratch Car, one technicians can do the<br />
entire repair from start to finish.<br />
Scratch Car will work with your insurance<br />
company and, to show they appreciate their<br />
customers, they offer a 20 percent discount on<br />
your first visit; 25 percent on your second visit;<br />
and a 30 percent discount on your third visit.<br />
Scratch Car is a “full collision” body shop.<br />
They specialize in all facets of bumper paint and<br />
repair. Services include repairs for scratches,<br />
scrapes, moldings, mirror covers, minor repair<br />
on fenders, quarter panels and related parts.<br />

“This is not your typical furniture store. I<br />
wanted to do something different,” said owner<br />
Steven Andrew Wellington, who’s also the artist,<br />
decorator and designer.<br />
Growing up in the furniture business working<br />
in his family’s store in New York, Steven<br />
grew to love the art side and wanted to make his<br />
mark on the furniture scene one day… And he<br />
did. Coupled with his experience of decorating<br />
the interiors and exteriors of yachts, the owner<br />
decided to open the store in Delray Beach.<br />
“My family was in the business and I grew up<br />
learning about furniture, but I wanted to put my<br />
own spin on it. I felt the furniture world needed<br />
something a little wild,” said Steven.<br />
At Dizzy Rock Furniture, you can transform<br />
your home to match your own quirky style<br />
or accent a room with something that your<br />
guests will be amazed by. They truly have the<br />
most unique furniture, décor and accessories<br />
that you can’t find anywhere else. You can<br />
shop for eclectic, unique and fabulous home<br />
furniture and décor. They also offer custom<br />
upholstery and can bring old furniture and<br />
chairs back to life!<br />
“I can take someone’s old couch and turn it<br />
into something cool and modern. We are capable<br />
of doing anything to a piece of furniture,”<br />
said the owner, adding, “People are furnishing<br />
their entire homes from the store. They walk in<br />
and are surprised that I can make their old furniture<br />
look new. My goal is to inspire people to
do something more creative with furniture and<br />
their homes. It should reflect your personality<br />
and something you like.”<br />
Steven searched all over for the perfect statement<br />
furniture pieces, lightning, and décor; in<br />
addition, the store offers many famous artwork<br />
from around the work. Regulars are now donating<br />
some items from their garage and estate<br />
sales to the owner, and then he creates his<br />
masterpieces. They have two warehouses in the<br />
back of the store for upholstery work where<br />
they make pillows and give your old furniture<br />
a makeover.<br />
Steven is proud of the store and happy to<br />
make someone’s living room happier and<br />
brighter. Many of his customers become regulars<br />
and become “addicted” to the artwork and<br />
statement furniture pieces.<br />
“As a kid, I always wanted to open a furniture<br />
store with items that would last forever. We offer<br />
many statement pieces that you can use in<br />
your home so when guests walk in they will<br />
be amazed,” said Steven, adding, “It’s rewarding<br />
when people walk into the store and their<br />
mouths drop. I get such a kick out of it. People<br />
are loving what they are seeing and it means<br />
more than anything to me! If you do what you<br />
love to do, the money will come anyway; everything<br />
falls into place.”<br />
His customers agree and praise the store’s<br />
friendly staff and its eclectic mix of décor.<br />
“Completely unique in its own way, definitely<br />
a must see. I would suggest just stopping by to<br />
take a walk around if you are driving by. You’re<br />
sure to be at least entertained by the “dizzying”<br />
variety of objects and furniture in this store!<br />
The employees are very nice, too. Naturally,<br />
some of the most intriguing items can be quite<br />
pricey, but don’t be alarmed - they have plenty<br />
of things that are not so pricey AND they have<br />
sales often because they are always getting new<br />
things!” stated one customer.<br />
Another customer added, “Such a super<br />
cool, rock n roll, furniture store. Pop art and<br />
pillows too, glammy beyond words. Very<br />
friendly and helpful employees. I bought a<br />
Pharrel Kitty pillow. What’s that? Go and find<br />
out. You will not regret popping in on this fab<br />
furniture fun-spot.”<br />

works on the live music stage hosted by<br />
Delray Beach’s own Ian Caven and works of<br />
art from two local artists who were commissioned<br />
by the Open to create an installation<br />
at the front entrance of the tournament, as<br />
well as a mural within the tournament gates.<br />
West Palm Beach muralist, Eduardo<br />
Mendieta was tasked with creating an abstract<br />
design that depicts both the rich history<br />
of tennis and the seaside lifestyle that<br />
is ever-present in Delray Beach. With this<br />
in mind, Mendieta painted a mural incorporating<br />
the swing of a tennis serve into rolling<br />
waves of the ocean. Boca Raton-based<br />
artist, Agata Ren, incorporated a real tennis<br />
net into her installation at the entrance of<br />
the tournament and weaved yellow fabric<br />
through the net to spell out the words, “Delray<br />
Beach Open,” paired with bright blue and<br />
pink sails serving as a backdrop and providing<br />
a vibrant and colorful welcome for tournament<br />
attendees.<br />

FeelThe.Love<br />
Creates A Community Of ‘Wellness’ Entrepreneurs<br />

PROducts that pack a punch<br />
{<br />
“We have a saying in our team<br />
that goes, “If I don’t live to be 122<br />
years old, I will consider that a<br />
premature death.”<br />
A year ago, Joni Vincent spent countless<br />
hours in meetings and on airplanes, well entrenched<br />
in the corporate world. For years<br />
she missed milestone events, family birthdays,<br />
holidays and vacation time. Like many<br />
who do the same, the price of missing out on<br />
life became too high.<br />
“It was starting to take its toll on my<br />
health and relationships. I was losing precious<br />
time with loved ones. The trade-off<br />
was no longer worth it; I was trading my life<br />
for a salary and the golden handcuffs of an<br />
executive role,” said Joni.<br />
After researching many alternative opportunities<br />
and joining an entrepreneurial<br />
mentor group, Joni was introduced to<br />
a successful network marketing company,<br />
called Jeunesse. Jeunesse’s primary focus<br />
is on anti-aging, youth enhancement<br />
and wellness.<br />
“The company and its products blew me<br />
away. The Founders of Jeunesse have partnered<br />
with doctors and Nobel-nominated<br />
scientists who are experts in their fields.<br />
They are innovators in a global movement<br />
of like-minded leaders who are changing<br />
lives by providing a business platform with<br />
groundbreaking products.”<br />
After speaking with one of the company’s<br />
directors, Joni decided to take the leap. She<br />
resigned from what she calls the corporate<br />
‘hamster wheel-of-death,’ and thus began<br />
her next adventure. Joni founded FeelThe.<br />
Love, whose primary mission is to help others<br />
build their own business by partnering<br />
74 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
Y.E.S. Youth Enhancement System<br />
with Jeunesse as independent distributors.<br />
“My goal is to build an organization that<br />
provides liberating business opportunities<br />
using innovative, science-based products.<br />
This company is founded on the simple idea<br />
that everyone deserves a chance to live a<br />
youthful, healthy life, while discovering true<br />
financial freedom,” stated Joni.<br />
Their mission statement? We’re a diverse<br />
community of entrepreneurs creating a positive<br />
impact in the world by helping people<br />
create wealth and abundance, while experiencing<br />
health and youthful vitality.<br />
“I went from being motivated to exit the<br />
rat race, to being completely inspired to<br />
help hundreds of people build their own<br />
businesses, regardless of their age, race<br />
or current income. We’re helping people<br />
change their lives through personal, professional<br />
and leadership development. At<br />
the end of day, we make money by selling<br />
products; however, in this business you<br />
can’t become truly successful unless you<br />
are developing yourself and helping others<br />
do the same,” added Joni.<br />
The Jeunesse collection of products is<br />
called the Youth Enhancement System.<br />
Y.E.S. was carefully developed to combine<br />
powerful benefits into a synergistic system<br />
of skincare and supplements not found else-
where. All of the products are included in<br />
multi-billion-dollar trending industries<br />
such as Skincare, Nutrition, Weight<br />
Management & Energy Drinks.<br />
You can see Joni’s passion coming<br />
through for the products and the company.<br />
“There is something for everyone.<br />
Whether you are a teenager, Gen X/Y, or<br />
Baby Boomer, there are powerful, synergistic<br />
benefits in everything we offer; and<br />
the company continues to innovate with<br />
ground-breaking science.”<br />
Jeunesse is not only winning awards for<br />
their products; they are the fastest growing<br />
direct-selling company globally, having<br />
made their first billion dollars within<br />
six years. Furthermore, they were the<br />
only direct selling company listed on the<br />
Inc. 500 list in 2016.<br />
From students to single parents and<br />
retirees, Joni is helping many people start<br />
their own business selling these wellness<br />
& skincare products.<br />
“I’m able to work with everyone from<br />
students who leave university with a<br />
mountain of debt, to single parents who<br />
want to spend more time with their kids,<br />
but need an income; or maybe someone<br />
thinking of retirement, yet has no financial<br />
way to retire. Or perhaps like me –<br />
you are sick of the grind and know there<br />
is something better out there.”<br />
“You can start your own business from<br />
your living room, dorm room or a coffee<br />
shop,” added Joni. “Like any business, it<br />
requires commitment, consistency and<br />
persistence; but, it’s fun and tremendously<br />
rewarding. If done right, it really<br />
does provide the opportunity to live life<br />
on your own terms.”<br />
The coffee shop is my office<br />
“Initially it was the money and time<br />
freedom that attracted me to the business;<br />
knowing that within just 12 months<br />
I could be making the same amount of income,<br />
or more, that I was earning in the<br />
corporate world; however, as I started<br />
working with other people and watching<br />
their lives transform, the true rewards<br />
and attraction comes from a combination<br />
of an abundant income and the prospect<br />
of changing lives.”<br />
The business has grown globally, available<br />
in over 150 countries. Joni is personally<br />
focusing her time in the US, Latin<br />
America, Northern Europe and South Africa.<br />
She expects to expand her focus to<br />
India as that market opens later this year.<br />
Joni sells the Jeunesse products directly<br />
through her retail website, or you can sign<br />
up as a Preferred Customer to receive significant<br />
discounts.<br />
Perhaps more importantly, Joni is looking<br />
for people who want to build and grow<br />
with her; people who want to join her<br />
team, and build their own.<br />
If you need a part-time supplemental<br />
income to help you retire, get out of debt,<br />
or out of that job you hate; if you are an<br />
entrepreneur at heart who dreams of<br />
starting your own business, or you simply<br />
want more time with your family - I encourage<br />
you to get directly in touch with<br />
Joni and start living life on your terms!<br />

Change Your Look With<br />
Changing Faces Makeup<br />
By Nicol JenkinS<br />
If you are looking for a beauty change and want natural looking makeup<br />
{ and skin care that lasts, search no further than Changing Faces Makeup.<br />
Changing Faces Makeup offers the most<br />
requested services in the beauty industry in<br />
a brand new location. They have moved to a<br />
new ‘state-of-the-art’ office, located at 7431<br />
W <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong> Suite 33 in Delray Beach. The<br />

successful for 20 years in the business.<br />

and lip liner and tinting are also available.<br />
All of the estheticians and artists are fully<br />
licensed by the state and health department.<br />
“It is our goal to be your favorite place<br />
to relax and leave looking gorgeous,” said<br />
Rhonda. Some 20 years ago, the owner was<br />
inspired to open the business to help others<br />
look their best.<br />
“I worked as an optician until 1997. I was<br />
inspired by the loss of my husband to cancer,<br />
and I had two young boys. I always loved<br />
making women look beautiful,” said Rhonda.<br />
Permanent Makeup demand has grown<br />
rapidly from the young to the more mature<br />
for those who desire a soft, natural enhancement<br />
to their appearance. It is especially<br />
valuable to people who can’t wear traditional<br />
cosmetics due to allergies and skin sensitivities;<br />
active people who want to look their<br />
best for sports activities such as swimming,<br />
hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics; and those<br />
who don’t want to worry about “sweating<br />
off” or reapplying cosmetics. Permanent<br />
Makeup also benefits the vision challenged<br />
who have difficulty applying their cosmetics;<br />
and others with dexterity related conditions<br />
such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease,<br />
multiple sclerosis, stroke survivors, and<br />
busy people who don’t have time to spend<br />
applying and refreshing makeup throughout<br />
the day and evening. The permanent<br />
makeup can last 1 to 3 years and is different<br />
for each individual.<br />
“I love giving women confidence in how<br />
they see themselves. Having beautiful brows<br />
and beautifully lined eyeliner can be just<br />
what you need to feel and look younger,”<br />
said the owner, adding, “Just adding brows<br />
makes such a difference to your face. A face<br />
is like a work of art and deserves beautiful<br />
brows at any age.”<br />
Microblading to enhance the look of your<br />
eyebrows has also become one of the fastest<br />
growing procedures in the beauty industry.<br />
Rhonda and her staff are licensed and educated<br />
in the procedure, while many techs<br />
Conventional Makeup Lessons
Before and After - Hairstroke Technique<br />
are learning in three-day workshops that are not approved<br />
schools. The owner believes this is a serious issue in the tattoo<br />
industry and many issues could occur including: being uninsured,<br />
the needles, blood-borne pathogens, not trained, claims<br />
that microblading is not permanent, lack of artistic ability, unlicensed<br />
facilities and reuse of needles.<br />
“Microblading is permanent makeup and the procedure<br />
should be performed in a state licensed facility with health<br />
department licenses clearly in view. You only have one face;<br />
choose wisely and be informed by doing your homework. Make<br />
sure to look at healed work of your artists; some artists steal<br />
photos and claim it as their own work. Be sure to look for photo<br />
consistency and style,” said Rhonda.<br />
The owner finds an inner reward in helping others look fabulous<br />
through the art of permanent makeup.<br />
“I have many cases where a client is losing their vision or<br />
their hands shake due to health conditions and my permanent<br />
makeup gives them the self confidence to look fabulous again,”<br />
said Rhonda, adding, “I also pride myself in mentoring hundreds<br />
of technicians around the world. I own an organization<br />
called ‘Techs Helping Techs’, a group of trained technicians. It’s<br />
all about encouraging my colleagues and empowering women.<br />
Over the last few years, we have had hundreds of artists from<br />
all over the world come to Delray Beach for advanced training.”<br />
The Delray Beach business owner is proud of her 20-year<br />
milestone in the permanent makeup business and is excited to<br />
expand with her new location.<br />
“We are proud to now celebrate 20 years of experience and to<br />
have performed over 17,000 procedures. Our office is an additional<br />
training facility with state-of-the-art equipment,” said Rhonda.<br />

Cape Cod Kate<br />
Maintain the Delray Beach lifestyle – Spend your summers on Cape Cod<br />
By nicol jenkinS<br />
{<br />
Delray Beach is the perfect destination for snowbirds looking<br />
to get outdoors and enjoy some sun, fun and relaxation<br />
during the freezing winter months. When Delray gets hot and<br />
sticky, where do the summerlings go? Cape Cod, of course.<br />
For those Delray Beach residents searching<br />
for a second home during the hot summer<br />
months while still maintaining their active<br />
lifestyle, look no further than Cape Cod.<br />
Have the “best of both worlds” – Enjoy all<br />
the great treasures of Delray then continue<br />
your outdoor, physical lifestyle of golfing,<br />
fishing, sunbathing, biking and running in<br />
the summer or fall without giving up great<br />
theater, restaurants, art galleries and nearby<br />
interesting places to visit (the islands of Martha’s<br />
Vineyard & Nantucket, Boston, NYC, the<br />
rest of New England), by staying on Cape Cod.<br />
Kate Rimkus is grateful that she has been<br />
able to enjoy the ‘similar lifestyle’ on Cape<br />
Cod, and wishes she had found Delray Beach<br />
many years ago.<br />
Don’t wait and wish! As a Realtor with<br />
Robert Paul Properties, the leading luxury<br />
agency on Cape Cod, Kate can help you enjoy<br />
the “best of both worlds” too. As an experienced<br />
Realtor – first honing her skills as a Senior<br />

top brands, Gillette – Kate’s professional<br />
yet friendly approach ensures her clients<br />
feel comfortable, educated and<br />
supported from the start of the<br />

Investing across the Cape<br />

WHO’S GOT MOM COVERED<br />
IN FLORIDA?<br />
It’s 9:00 pm and she’s in route to the hospital...<br />
splendidly unique places in the world – Cape Cod and Delray. Let<br />
Kate be your Cape Cod/South Florida Connection.<br />
Imagine having a place to escape to when the weather gets<br />
hot and sticky and sometimes windier than you would like.<br />
June through October are especially delightful on “the Cape.”<br />
Summer temperatures are typically in the high 70s and 80s. It<br />
seldom gets really hot on Cape Cod. In an average year, there’s<br />
just one day of 90-degree weather and the thermometer never<br />
makes it to 100 °F. Well, let’s not jinx ourselves and say never!<br />
If June through October seems like too much of a paradise<br />
vacation, or too long to be away from home, you can always rent<br />
the time you are not there to visitors from around the world.<br />
Then, consider your time a “paid vacation.” There is always high<br />
demand for vacation rentals.<br />
“Cape Cod offers plenty of luxury properties and average<br />
price homes. There are 15 towns on the Cape and each one offers<br />
a different character and there is always something to do,”<br />
said Kate. “In Cape Cod, you don’t have to put your lifestyle on<br />
hold and hide indoors from the hot summer months. Delray<br />
Beach and Cape Cod really offer the best of both worlds!”<br />
2016 metrics such as shrinking inventory, decreasing dayson-market<br />
and higher buyer demand suggest that <strong>2017</strong> may<br />
shift from a buyers’ market to a balanced market so if you are<br />
considering purchasing, “NOW is the time,” said Kate.<br />
Robert Paul Properties, also in Boston, Cambridge and the<br />
South Coast and recognized as the Top Real Estate Brokerage<br />
in MA every year since 2013 by Inc. is a member (by invitation<br />
only) of “The Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.”<br />
What does that mean to you? Kate will be happy to recommend<br />
to you, your family or to a friend an excellent Realtor<br />
anywhere in the world, including Palm Beach County. Have<br />
children going to college away from home and are thinking<br />
of purchasing an apartment instead of paying for on campus<br />
living? Kate can help!<br />
Whether you are interested in buying, or renting on Cape Cod<br />
(or anywhere in the world for that matter), you too can have<br />
the best of both worlds. Now is the time to call Cape Cod Kate!<br />

The Long Goodbye<br />
BEACHCOMBER ART<br />
By Diane Feen<br />
photos by melissa korman<br />
{<br />
Beachcomber Art is part museum –<br />
part creative sea shell extravaganza.<br />
Owner Debbie Brookes has made this retail<br />
emporium an homage to her love of sea<br />
shells and its adornment possibilities. She has<br />
embellished the likes of mermaids, large taxidermy<br />
fish, lamps, mirrors, antique medicine<br />
cabinets, companion urns and accessories of<br />
all persuasions.<br />
There is always something to admire at this<br />
shop, and there is constant amazement over<br />
how one woman could come up with all these<br />
adorned masterpieces. But Brookes is that special<br />
genius who never lets common sense get<br />
in her way. Instead she hauls huge bags of sea<br />
shells from faraway places and mixes them in<br />
her cement mixer at home.<br />
That’s what makes it sad that the shop will<br />
close this July. It’s not a final farewell; it’s just<br />
a change of places and spaces. “I am having a<br />
retirement sale of 25 % off on all things made<br />
by me. The rest will be sold online.”<br />
That does not diminish the fact that you can<br />
still buy an elaborate sea shell bra that Brooks<br />
made for an Old School Square charity event<br />
called “Save the Ta Tas.”<br />
There are also dynamic crème-colored chandeliers<br />
with twinkling lights and sea shells of<br />
all texture and origin. Beachcomber mirrors<br />
are still available adorned with sea glass, limpets,<br />
chamber nautilus shells and sea shells.<br />
Looking forward to traveling with my best friend once the studio closes<br />
Another unique find at this eclectic shop of<br />
shells are antique wood medicine cabinets that<br />
decorate walls or cover up electric panels.<br />
There are also oyster shells, glass and<br />
mother-of-pearl decorative boxes and picture<br />
frames gussied up with aqua frosted glass and<br />
sea shells of varying color and shapes. The large<br />
taxidermy fish that hangs on the store wall is a<br />
rare find with abalone, mother-of-pearl, pink<br />
sea urchins, moon shells and sand dollar shells.<br />
If these names don’t sound familiar, don’t<br />
worry most of us are in the dark when it comes<br />
to the lightness of Brookes’ sea shelled being.<br />
She knows what looks great together and what<br />
will excite the visual senses. Of course everything<br />
in the shop has a sea faring origin, and<br />
that’s what makes it so bright and alluring.<br />
Just ask restaurant blogger Cathy Pagano from<br />
New York. “I walked in and saw the most beautiful<br />
environment I’ve ever seen. It’s like an ocean-<br />
Mixed seashells with seafoam colored glass<br />
Mirrors and lamps embellished with seashells<br />

ography museum. I’m in love with everything.”<br />
With such a fabulous pedigree and a passion<br />
for the natural offspring of the sea, why is this<br />
shop going to close?<br />
“It’s unfortunate that small businesses<br />
aren’t able to make a go of things because of<br />
the rising rents. I discovered that my employees<br />
were not trustworthy and I just couldn’t<br />
put the hours in myself to cover the expenses.<br />
I used to be open at night but I can’t do it anymore,”<br />
said Brookes wistfully.<br />
At first the thought of closing her decorative<br />
house of creativity was not an option, but after<br />
careful consideration it made sense. “Originally<br />
it broke my heart to close, but after I found my<br />
things in someone else’s store for sale, I decided<br />
to close the store this summer.”<br />
But for those who know Brookes they know<br />
she will continue to create things of beauty. After<br />
all this is a woman who has leapt from successful<br />
career to successful career like a Wallenda.<br />
She was a hairdresser (and salon owner) then a<br />
florist and an artist. She is also going to continue<br />
making decorative urns and boxes to hold the last<br />
vestiges of our loved ones. She won’t be selling<br />
them on <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue after July, but she will<br />
be selling them online at beachcomberart.com.<br />
If you want to harken back to the days of<br />
old Brookes has lanterns in painted glass with<br />
reclaimed wood and candles. Add that to the<br />
sea shell adorned lamps with raffia and you<br />
have enough of the aquatic life to sustain you<br />
through a winter in Long Island. If you need a<br />
light to see your way into the future (or down<br />
the hall of your house) then pick up a candle<br />
holder with decorative reflective shells.<br />
There is a rhyme and reason that goes beyond<br />
the obvious here. “In my career as a hairdresser,<br />
florist and artist I learned that it’s all<br />
about balance. There’s positive and negative<br />
space. It’s about taking things away and leaving<br />
others behind.”<br />
Stop by Beachcomber Art and say goodbye.<br />
People like Brookes don’t come around very often.<br />
We know that.<br />

music, art, drama, good citizenship<br />
and camaraderie. They also know that they<br />
have a chance to play flag football, soccer,<br />
Lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, tennis and<br />
golf if they so desire (in grades 5 to 8).<br />
But there’s a lot more to this 53-year-old<br />
private school off Swinton <strong>Ave</strong>nue – and it’s<br />
not hidden from the naked eye. One of the<br />
most unique – and coveted – is the emphasis<br />
on virtues. You can see them posted on the<br />
“peace walk” and listen to them in each classroom’s<br />
stories, conversations and writing.<br />
“We call these Lessons in Living and each<br />
grade adopts four virtues each year. We talk<br />
about these virtues once a week,” said St –<br />
82 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
Louis St-Laurent, Head of Unity School<br />
Laurent, the leader of this exemplary educational<br />
campus.<br />
The virtues range from self-respect to<br />
compassion, friendship, gentleness, peace,<br />
cooperation and others. The school also values<br />
academic excellence with a slant toward<br />
real world sensibility. “We believe a 21st<br />
century education has to get the child ready<br />
for the world they’re going into – and that<br />
changes every day. We also value imagination<br />
and diversity and want our students to<br />
be creators and innovators. That’s what the<br />
world wants,” said St – Laurent.<br />
He’s right. An education based on traditional<br />
models is a nice thing to have but not<br />
as valuable in the real world. As part of this<br />
real world indoctrination comes computer<br />
and science wizardry fit for a modern world<br />
and a happy successful child.<br />
Unity gives each student an iPad (they<br />
even have an iPad cart that charges and<br />
holds them) and many rooms are stocked<br />
with both Mac and PC’s for student use and<br />
discovery. Their Technology Integration<br />
area is a large room with couches, laptop<br />
computers and desktop stations for students<br />
to feel their way into both education<br />
and technology.<br />
That’s the most profound part of Unity<br />
School – they want learning to be inner<br />
motivated, not outer restrictive. Getting an<br />
education at this college-style campus is a<br />
kaleidoscope of great intentions and even<br />
greater inventions. Technology skills are<br />
honed by teachers dedicated - and up to the<br />
task - of leading children into the 21st century<br />
via the technology revolution.<br />
Students learn computer coding as early<br />
as the third grade and are exposed to programming<br />
tools used at MIT and other stateof-the-art<br />
technologies. Just recently stu-<br />
Individualization is key when learning
Grandparents Day allOWS the whole family to be involved in education<br />
dents used 3-D printers and CAD programming to create cars<br />
and animals in plastic. The cars were aerodynamically imposed<br />
with CO2 cartridges that made them race down a track.<br />
This is not ordinary learning – its extraordinary learning.<br />
“My husband and I feel like we’ve hit the jackpot with Unity<br />
School as it’s a true gem. Our children are receiving an exemplary,<br />
well-rounded and challenging education in a supportive<br />
environment surrounded by dedicated and passionate teachers<br />
and administration,” said Nynke Henderson, whose children<br />
Finn and Holland attend Unity.<br />
A holistic education is what is so valued at Unity – by parents<br />
and the staff. This includes a student run garden that grows<br />
lettuce, broccoli, carrots and tomatoes. And guess what? The<br />
vending machine has sensible food like yogurt, raisins, seaweed<br />
snacks and veggie sticks. Add that to the no soda policy and you<br />
have another of Unity’s great student-centric policies.<br />
Students also have responsibilities to perform in the classroom.<br />
This performance task is part and parcel of creating good<br />
stewardship and citizenship. Each classroom has an organizer<br />
on the wall with Dixie sticks and names of jobs such as Door<br />
Holder, Greeter, Problem Solver, Messenger and Safe-Keeper.<br />
It is things like this that impress – and instill respect – from<br />
parents who think of Unity as their second home. “I could speak<br />
for hours about Unity School. It’s more than just Academic Excellence,<br />
it’s a school that truly believes and exists to teach the<br />
Whole Child. Our teachers and administration are our family<br />
and their goal is to ensure we are receiving the best education<br />
in South Florida,” said Dawn Plasencia, whose daughters Lola<br />
and Mia attend Unity.<br />
Unity also has a gymnasium with theater-sized performance<br />
stage and studios for art, music and TV production. Students learn<br />
Spanish, take part in community service and character development.<br />
The results are well-rounded students that are prepared for<br />
competitive high school and college environments.<br />
There’s also a gentility and family-centric focus on campus.<br />
“There are a lot of parents on the campus – we want them to be<br />
involved in their children’s education. Often they stay and recite<br />
the ‘Peace Prayer’ with the students. It helps them feel good<br />
about their day,” adds St – Laurent.<br />
Unity is a special place that values life, love and understanding.<br />
The education is first rate and the strengthening of student’s<br />
moral fiber is exactly what future leaders must possess. We applaud<br />
Unity School for their foresight, insight and brilliance.<br />

Summer Fun At<br />
THE DELRAY BEACH CLUB<br />
By diane feen<br />
{<br />
Summer<br />
photos by melissa korman<br />
in South Florida is an acquired taste. There’s the heat, the<br />
humidity and the empty sidewalks that stick to the bottom of your shoes.<br />
84 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
But as more people put down stakes in<br />
South Florida year round they often wonder,<br />
“What will I do during the summer?”<br />
Wonder no more. The Delray Beach Club<br />
is here to save you from the boredom, the<br />
scorching sidewalks and the snowbirds that<br />
fly the coop in the summer.<br />
Members of the Delray Beach Club don’t<br />
have those concerns. They enjoy the perks<br />
of a private beach with comfortable chaise<br />
lounges; large beach umbrellas (that you<br />
don’t have to lift or carry) chilled cocktails<br />
and a staff to meet their every whim.<br />
They also get to take part in spectacular<br />
parties for festive occasions like Memorial<br />
Day, July 4th and Labor Day. On these celebratory<br />
holidays the Delray Beach Club comes<br />
alive with music, a luscious buffet, dancing<br />
and friendship that overrules the ordinary.<br />
As a matter of fact it’s the friendships made
at the Delray Beach Club that seem to be the<br />
longest lasting and most coveted.<br />
“We’ve been members of the Delray<br />
Beach Club for nine years and the social<br />
aspect of the club is terrific. I’ve met super<br />
nice people here and made some of my best<br />
friends. We get together and even go on boat<br />
trips together,” said Tim Bice.<br />
Bice is right. The camaraderie at the club<br />
is unique to Florida. It’s that feel good feeling<br />
you get when you’re with people who<br />
care about you. Some call it a second family,<br />
others love the friendliness, and members<br />
like Kristyn Viciedo describe it this way:<br />
“It’s so much fun here; it’s like a home away<br />
from home. I just celebrated my birthday<br />
here with friends and we had a blast.”<br />
When you add up all the spectacular events<br />
taking place this summer it makes sense to<br />
join the Delray Beach Club for their summer<br />
membership. If friendship and the serenity<br />
of a private 3.5 acre pristine beach doesn’t<br />
entice you then their Beach Bonfire parties,<br />
Lobster nights and Beer Tastings might.<br />
The Summer Kick-Off – a Cinco De Mayo<br />
Party - is always a fantastic event with live<br />
music, Hors d’oeuvres, food stations, margaritas<br />
and cocktails. The clubs’ summer<br />
Luau party is also a night to remember with<br />
a bonfire, Hula dancers, special drinks and<br />
festivities at the pool. It’s also perfect for<br />
families to gather together in a safe, funfilled<br />
atmosphere that puts a smile on everyone’s<br />
face.<br />
Another special evening this summer is<br />
the White Party. It’s a chance to bring out<br />
the bright whites in your closet and enjoy<br />
the lightness of being at the club. There are<br />
food stations, music and dancing outside by<br />
the pool. It’s a night to remember and one to<br />
cherish for its joie de vie.<br />
There are also fun-loving “Ladies Nights<br />
Out” Cocktail parties where you can make<br />
new friends and enjoy the camaraderie of<br />
the Delray Beach Club sisterhood. There are<br />
special surprises for members (and their<br />
guests) as well as signature cocktails and<br />
Hors d’oeuvres.<br />
One thing that characterizes this private<br />
club is their musical adventures. They have<br />
an orchestra or DJ for most occasions and<br />
dancing to trip the night fantastic. These<br />
events are always a good time with fun a byproduct<br />
of just showing up.<br />
Dancing is not only one of the perks of<br />
joining a club like this for the summer, but<br />
it’s a way to keep yourself young and in<br />
shape physically, mentally and spiritually.<br />
They also have a full roster of activities<br />
for the cerebral and sports minded. There’s<br />
an oceanfront swimming pool, Har-Tru®<br />
tennis courts (and tennis lessons), a fitness<br />
center (with exercise and yoga classes) and<br />
beach activities such as paddle-boarding<br />
and kayaking.<br />
This summer the Delray Beach Club<br />
brings out the big guns for entertainment.<br />
“Our summer members get to take part in<br />
our elaborate holiday celebrations (overlooking<br />
the ocean) that are second to none.<br />
We offer family fun events and special<br />
evenings for singles and couples that are<br />
unique and exciting. We try our hardest to<br />
make everyone happy,” said General Manager<br />
Shane Peachey.<br />
Family Fun Days are one of their signature<br />
events. There’s a large Water Slide, DJ, Poolside<br />
Games, Snow Cone Machine and a Buffet.<br />
For the Adult Themed Parties they have a<br />
babysitting service for the little ones. Called<br />
PNO nights – it means “Parents Night Out.”<br />
Friday evenings during the summer are<br />
best known as “Mix and Mingle” nights.<br />
grill room<br />
There’s live music, Hors d’oeuvres and a<br />
free floating fantasyland of fun. Happy Hour<br />
takes place in the comfortable clubby Grille<br />
Room, and dinner and dancing is de rigueur<br />
in the crown jewel of the Delray Beach Club<br />
– The Ocean Room.<br />
This summer there will also be fun fueled<br />
evenings such as the Motown Night,<br />
Clam Bake, The Venice Night (with Italian<br />
food, music and drinks) and a puppet show<br />
for the kids.<br />
The Delray Beach Club staff knows how<br />
to refine fun, luxury and excitement for<br />
their guests. They serenade members<br />
with an amazing staff, special events, a fitness<br />
center, spa services, book and theater<br />
groups and the best view Mother Nature<br />
ever conjured up.<br />

SUNSHINE GOLF CAR<br />
Not Your Grandpa’s Golf Car<br />
By Martin LenkowskY<br />
{<br />
One<br />

thing’s for certain about today’s golf cars:<br />
they’re definitely not your grandfather’s golf cars.<br />
Available accessories<br />
Jason Zangre, comptroller/general manager<br />
at Sunshine Golf Car in Delray Beach<br />
totally agrees. “Golf cars are not just for golf<br />
courses anymore,” Jason says, adding how<br />
Sunshine Golf Car has taken the lead in selling<br />
the newest, most advanced “street legal”<br />
golf cars available.<br />
“They’re more fun to drive,” he says. “It’s<br />
for cruising around. You can take them to the<br />
beach. You can take them downtown. It’s better<br />
than taking your big SUV out on the town.<br />
We try to keep the consumer in mind. They<br />
don’t want the golf cars their grandpas drove.”<br />
As more and more street legal golf cars<br />
Star-ev Diablo<br />
Sunshine Golf Car Showroom<br />
are being seen on the streets, their popularity<br />
is on the rise. “More of them are out<br />
there,” Jason says, “and the more people see<br />
them, the more people want them. Street legal<br />
golf cars are the new phenomenon.”<br />
Sunshine Golf Car located at 9740 W. <strong>Atlantic</strong><br />
<strong>Ave</strong>., has been in business since 1980.<br />
They not only sell the latest models of new<br />
golf cars, but they also offer pre-owned and<br />
utility golf cars. They have a full-service<br />
department that can service and repair all<br />
makes and models. “Sunshine Golf Car is a<br />
one-stop shop offering sales and service,” Jason<br />
says. “That’s what differentiates us from<br />
our competition. We have a huge inventory<br />
on site of both cars, parts and accessories.<br />
There’s really nothing we can’t do. People<br />
can buy a new car with all types of add-ons.<br />
We always try to accommodate our customers’<br />
wishes. When you need something fixed<br />
or upgraded, we will fix your existing car if<br />
needed as well.”<br />
Sunshine Golf Car, it’s more than just<br />
making that sale. “We’re looking for a longterm<br />
relationship with our customers, not a<br />
quick sale. We also work with commercial<br />
accounts like schools, condos, apartments,<br />
etc.,” Jason adds.<br />
Sensing the trend toward street legal<br />
vehicles, top manufactures are making<br />
changes in the products they make. “They’re<br />
coming up with new technology, like lithium<br />
batteries,” Jason explains. One leading<br />
brand, Star EV, will be coming out later this<br />
year with a brand new golf car with modern<br />
automotive styling integrated into the vehicle<br />
such as LED headlights, digital display on<br />
the dashboard, and an optional backup cam-<br />

era. “They’re different looking than your usual golf cars,” says<br />
Jason. “ They’re definitely not designed just for the golf course.<br />
This is a fun, easy car to drive personal vehicle. You see them all<br />
over the streets of downtown Delray Beach.”<br />
In addition to selling their many customers the finest in new<br />
and pre-owned vehicles, Sunshine Golf Car offers financing options,<br />
rentals for tournaments and special events, rentals for<br />
seasonal residents, along with a full-service repair and service<br />
department. Sunshine Golf Car is an authorized dealer for E-Z-<br />
GO, Star EV, Cushman, and Garia Golf Cars. They offer a large<br />
selection of 2, 4, 6, and 8-passenger vehicles for one’s riding<br />
pleasure. They offer the best fit for everyone’s needs with all<br />
different price ranges to fit everyone’s budget. And they offer a<br />
huge selection of car accessories.<br />
Sunshine Golf Car provides old-fashioned “mom and pop”<br />
style service to their customers with full, personalized customer<br />
service. Their expert factory-trained road technicians will come<br />
right to your home or office to perform most repairs on site, including<br />
new battery installation, tire repairs and much more.<br />
Owner Jim Maddox has been in the golf car industry many<br />
years. He took over the company in 1995. He continues the tradition<br />
of providing an extensive array of golf cars along with exceptional<br />
customer service.<br />
Street legal golf cars first started in the early 2000s, and by<br />
2009 their popularity skyrocketed. If you’re looking for that vehicle<br />
to ride on the links, or that custom-made golf car to take on a<br />
shopping excursion downtown, you’ll find it at Sunshine Golf Car.<br />

special feature ║ Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce<br />
We’ve Got “it”<br />
BY STEPHEN CHRISANTHUS<br />
{<br />
At the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce you’ll find an<br />
enthusiastic community eager to help you succeed. They have reinvented an<br />
all-American institution and created a modern, eclectic hub where business,<br />
education, job growth, tourism, government affairs, entrepreneurship,<br />
technology, healthcare, arts and culture intersect and thrive. There’s simply<br />
no other organization like it. So what is “it”? “it” is different for everyone.<br />
The 55th Delray Affair features over<br />
500 exhibitors including artists, crafters,<br />
and food vendors from Delray Beach<br />
and all over the country. The event spans<br />
across 10 city blocks in downtown Delray<br />
Beach on <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>.This is an important<br />
event for the community. Let’s hear<br />
how “it” affects some of our local businesses.<br />
Jeff Kozan<br />
Vatican Tattoo Studio Delray, Owner/Artist<br />
Being a 100% art based business, and<br />
being located centrally downtown, the<br />
Delray Affair is a must for us. The exposure<br />
our studio gets, and the good time<br />
we get to have with everyone in the community<br />
is second to none.<br />
Howard Ellingsworth<br />
Delray Beach Historical Society, President<br />
Originating as the “Booster’s Club” in<br />
1912, and transitioning to the Chamber<br />
of Commerce in 1925, the Chamber has<br />
served to support our town’s growth. My<br />
hope as a business owner and president<br />
of our town’s historical society, is that the<br />
Chamber can continue on a path to promote<br />
and improve the business environment,<br />
stimulate a vibrant local economy<br />
and produce a cooperative effort to enhance<br />
the overall quality of life here in<br />
Delray Beach. The connection between<br />
the Chamber and the Delray Affair is particularly<br />
poignant for me personally, as<br />
my late father Kenneth Ellingsworth was<br />
the Executive Director of the Greater Delray<br />
Beach Chamber of Commerce beginning<br />
in 1959. He held this position for the<br />
Jeff Kozan ,Howard Ellingsworth, Judi Alweil, Rebecca Loveless<br />
next 33 years until his retirement and in<br />
this capacity was a founding member of<br />
the Delray Affair.<br />
Judi Alweil<br />
Stitches by the Sea, Partner<br />
Our customers come from all over and<br />
we encourage them to dine and shop in<br />
Delray. We make sure to have enough<br />
people working on Saturday so that we<br />
can take turns seeing all of the wonderful<br />
exhibits.<br />
Rebecca Loveless<br />
Tradition Tattoo, Owner/Artist<br />
This event has allowed me to share an<br />
entire world to my collectors, not as a tattooer<br />
but as a painter. Keeping alive this<br />
passion inspires others. Art is vital to the<br />
spirit of Delray.<br />

Jonathan Marchessault<br />
Florida Panthers Top Scorer Calls Delray Beach Home<br />
By Nicol Jenkins<br />
{<br />
When Jonathan Marchessault is not scoring points on<br />
the ice for the Florida Panthers, he enjoys the sunny<br />
carefree lifestyle that Delray Beach has to offer.<br />
Since he signed on this year, Jonathan<br />
has become a local hockey fan favorite and<br />
one of the top scorers for the team in the<br />
National Hockey League. The Delray Beach<br />
resident is having a career high season,<br />
surpassing his previous season highs in<br />
goals, assists and points. He also played in<br />
his 100th NHL game on February 20, <strong>2017</strong><br />
at St. Louis.<br />
“This season has been a high point in my<br />
career. I am happy to be with the Florida<br />
Panthers. We have a good team,” said Jonathan,<br />
adding, “It has been a rollercoaster<br />
year for us; winning some games and losing<br />
some. But now we are fighting a little bit<br />
more and we’re doing much better.”<br />
His love for hockey began at a young age<br />
when his father taught him how to skate.<br />
94 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
His dad and brother encouraged him to play<br />
hockey and he never looked back.<br />
“When I started getting older, it was a<br />
choice for me to go everyday and skate with<br />
my friends at the rink,” he said.<br />
Jonathan Marchessault started his career<br />
in Canada playing for the Quebec Major Junior<br />
Hockey League in 2007, and ranked<br />
third for points. In 2011 to 2012, he played<br />
in 76 games in his first pro season with Connecticut,<br />
posting 24 goals and 64 points;<br />
and he ranked tied for first on the Whale for<br />
points and led all skaters for assists with 40.<br />
Then in 2012 to 2013, Jonathan played with<br />
the Blue Jackets and skated in his first career<br />
NHL game. His successful hockey career<br />
continued the following two years playing<br />
in 77 AHL games with Springfield and Syracuse,<br />
posting 23 goals and 56 points. From<br />
the 2014 to 2015 season, he played with the<br />
Tampa Bay Lightning during the regular season,<br />
and scored his first career NHL goal in<br />
the Lightning’s season finale. Other achievements<br />
included skating in two Stanley Cup<br />
Playoffs games, including 1 in the Eastern<br />
Conference Final against NYR; and playing<br />
in 68 games with Syracuse during the regular<br />
season. From 2015 to 2016, he finished<br />
third on the Bolts for power-play goals and<br />
recorded a career-best six-game point streak.
Jonathan decided to play with the Florida Panthers when he<br />
got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.<br />
“The biggest thing was the opportunity to be playing every<br />
game. The Florida Panthers are really good and I wanted to be<br />
part of a good team. I also like the Florida weather; it’s a better<br />
lifestyle for my family,” said Jonathan, who has two children.<br />
Jonathan has decided to make Delray Beach his home. Jonathan<br />
was first drawn to the town of Delray Beach while visiting<br />
his family-in-law, whom lived in the City.<br />
“When I was in the NHL before, my father-in-law had a house<br />
here, and my wife and I came to Delray Beach for vacation. We<br />
just liked the area, the beach and the <strong>Ave</strong>nue with shopping and<br />
restaurants. We are happy to stay in a familiar place. It was a no<br />
brainer for me to come here,” said Jonathan.<br />
On his free time, Jonathan enjoys spending time with his family<br />
exploring the City of Delray Beach and playing sports.<br />
“I like to go to the movies with my wife and to the many<br />
great restaurants on <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue. I also love golfing and<br />
playing tennis. But most of time, I enjoy taking care of my kids<br />
and my wife,” he added.<br />
In the meantime, the local star hockey player spends much<br />
of his time on the ice, practicing for the season with his teammates.<br />
He also keeps in good physical shape by training while<br />
off the ice and taking care of any sports related injuries.<br />
“This season right now with the Florida Panthers is a big turning<br />
point for my career. I am happy where I am right now and<br />
want to keep it going,” said Jonathan, adding, “There are always<br />
challenges. It’s hard to be a successful team every year; there’s<br />
always competition and new players on the teams. But right now<br />
we are doing a good job to come back and I think it’s going well.”<br />
The Delray Beach hockey player is happy to be able to do<br />
what he loves every day.<br />
“I enjoy the fact that it’s a passion for me. I love what I do, love<br />
my work, and love bringing a good lifestyle to me and my family.<br />
With hockey, I am able to be living good and my family is living<br />
a good life also,” said Jonathan.<br />
In the long-term, Jonathan would like to continue playing<br />
hockey for the local team and plans to be living in Delray Beach<br />
for a long time.<br />
“Career-wise, I would love to have a future long-term contract<br />
with the Florida Panthers. l love the City, love the fans, and love<br />
playing for the Florida Panthers,” exclaimed Jonathan. “I would<br />
love to be with the Panthers for a long time. Let’s see what happens<br />
with the future and hopefully I can stay. There are a lot of<br />
ups and downs in the season, but what keeps me motivated is<br />
I love winning and want to be better; I want to pass what I did<br />
before and get better every year.”<br />
Jonathan Marchessault invites local residents to cheer on<br />
their hometown hockey team, the Florida Panthers!<br />

The Wizard Of Art<br />
MELANIE JOHANSON<br />
By Diane Feen<br />
{<br />
Photo by melissa korman<br />
When you look into Melanie Johanson’s eyes you<br />
can see forever. They widen as she speaks and<br />
illuminate the room she inhabits.<br />
It makes you wonder if this 36-year-old woman is<br />
as much a work of art as her occupation implies. Her<br />
life has been punctuated by bouts of creativity with an<br />
obsession with art.<br />
It started when she was only eight-years-old. She<br />
began copying Disney Cartoons in her sketch book<br />
and progressed to summer art camps, art classes and<br />
art excursions. Her mother Susan (a kindergarten<br />
teacher) nurtured her daughters’ artistic curiosity<br />
and inherent ability.<br />
At Mount Carmel Academy High School in New<br />
Orleans (where she grew up) she took every art<br />
class available. But when it came to getting a degree,<br />
reality overtook her passion. “I wanted to major<br />
in something art related, but I wasn’t sure how to<br />
parlay my interest in visual art into something that<br />
would make money.”<br />
Reality is an admirable pursuit, but it can derail us<br />
when trying to reach our loftiest goals. In this case, it<br />
means Johanson would have left dormant her ability<br />
to create wizardry through art for others to admire<br />
and be inspired by.<br />
But we don’t have to worry about that now because<br />
Johanson has taken up residence as Curator of the<br />
Cornell Museum. Her gift for discovering artistic talent<br />
and culling it together to create miraculous art<br />
exhibits (that combine brain power and will power)<br />
has overtaken her need for security.<br />
And for that we are thrilled. “Melanie has a sense<br />
for putting things together in unexpected ways. I’m<br />
blown away every time I walk into a new exhibition<br />
at the Corner Museum. She has brought a fresh contemporary<br />
approach to the museum unlike anything<br />
we’ve seen in the area,” said Brenda Zappitell, art professor<br />
and Cornell Board member.<br />
One example of her firecracker ability to see art as<br />
one continuous visual orgy was the “Lit” Exhibition.<br />
The entire museum was filled with colorful artwork<br />
lit up by way of neon, video, fiber optics and painting.<br />
The exhibition was a huge success and answered<br />
the proverbial question – can a museum with a traditional<br />
past make a sharp departure into the world of<br />
contemporary art?<br />
The answer was (and still is) Yes.<br />
Attendance is up at the museum (that was built in<br />
1913 as a schoolhouse) and the exhibits continue to<br />
stretch the imagination though the intersection of art<br />
and suspended reality.<br />
Rob Steele can attest to that.<br />
“Melanie’s ethereally fresh approach to curating<br />
contemporary art exhibits at the Cornell Museum has<br />
opened eyes and lifted spirits in magical ways. Her vision,<br />
and the Cornell’s charm, dovetails beautifully to<br />
create an unmatched experience for our guests,” said<br />
the President & CEO of Old School Square.<br />
Steele is right. The museum has big city momentum<br />
and small town charm rooted in historic Dade<br />
County Pine floors, a soaring staircase and old world<br />
molding. Combine that with exhibits such as “From<br />
the Ordinary to Extraordinary: Paper As Art” and you<br />
have a center of artistic gravity that holds down the<br />
medium with flights of fancy that uplift and inspire.<br />
That’s exactly the way Johanson saw her mission<br />
from the start. “I like to design exhibitions that do not<br />
assume the viewer knows about art history. That way<br />
everyone who comes to the Museum can be inspired<br />
and expanded by art from different mediums.”<br />
The result is a new patronage that spans in age<br />
from five to 95. It also has big city sophistication in<br />
an intimate setting that appeals to the new demographic<br />
of Delray.<br />
When the art is on the walls - and the burst of genius<br />
is strewn around the energy field of the museum<br />
- it looks like an easy task. But that’s far from the<br />
truth. “I come up with ideas for exhibits by going to<br />
art galleries and art fairs in New York, Miami and New<br />
Orleans. I also save thousands of photos and blogs for<br />
future exhibits. It may start with one piece of art that<br />
inspires me, or a theme I can’t get out of my head.”<br />
This has not always been the case. Johanson’s first<br />
96<br />
<strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
job was at a web design company. After<br />
that she taught art teacher at an all-girls<br />
school in New Orleans. When her husband<br />
took a job in South Florida she started over.<br />
As luck would have it Johanson ended up at<br />
the Cornell Museum.<br />
“When I took the Museum Assistant position<br />
at the Cornell I thought it would be<br />
a temporary thing, but it ended up being<br />
something far better than I could have ever<br />
imagined.”<br />
Many people are glad about that. “Melanie<br />
has an eye for edgy, quality, fun art that<br />
suits the Cornell and the following that the<br />
Museum is cultivating. I’m sure she doesn’t<br />
believe that imaging and planning exhibits<br />
for the Museum has anything to do with<br />
work. For her it’s a challenge and a pleasure.<br />
She is simply great at what she does,” said<br />
arts patron Margaret Blume.<br />
Because of her advertising background<br />
Johanson designs print material, outdoor<br />
and indoor signage, mailers and promotional<br />
material for the Museum. She also plans<br />
and designs exhibitions, gets sponsorships,<br />
facilitates art installations, cultivates donors<br />
and connects collectors with artists.<br />
On a more personal note, Johanson is<br />
married to her soulmate, Greer Prather.<br />
The petroleum businessman is her most<br />
ardent supporter. “I bounce ideas off my<br />
husband and rely on him for support in all<br />
aspects of my life. He is a great listener and<br />
businessman, and he helps me in my role<br />
at the Cornell.”<br />
It seems that Johanson doesn’t need too<br />
much help. She is divinely guided by an inner<br />
artistic passion that lights the way for all<br />
who enter the Cornell Museum.<br />
Welcome to Melanie’s world. It’s a place<br />
of wonderment and excitement with color<br />
and art as the unspoken orator.<br />

THE SUNDY HOUSE<br />
Food Fit For Royalty<br />
By Diane Feen<br />
{<br />
The<br />
Sundy House is food for the Gods in<br />
both an aesthetic and culinary sense.<br />
112 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />
Where else can you sit under luscious<br />
tropical plants and trees and eat food that<br />
is divinely ordained? Add that to twinkling<br />
lanterns and tiny lights and you have a meal<br />
(and an experience) that is part ethereal<br />
wonderment and part culinary genius.<br />
We have no doubt that The Sundy House<br />
is more precious than a coveted turn-of-thecentury<br />
gemstone as it was voted in 2016<br />
by diners of OpenTable.com as a one of the<br />
“100 Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants in<br />
America.” We also realize that many people<br />
don’t know that dinner is served at this historic<br />
Victorian masterpiece every Tuesday<br />
to Sunday starting at 6pm.<br />
“People don’t understand that we serve<br />
dinner during the week. They know about<br />
our brunch, but many people don’t realize<br />
that you can dine in a quiet beautiful restaurant<br />
right off the avenue,” said Travis Culver,<br />
Executive Chef at the Sundy House.<br />
Culver is right. Dining at The Sundy House<br />
is akin to being on a deserted island without<br />
a life boat (that you wouldn’t want even if you<br />
had one). The outstanding tangible is that they<br />
are just minutes from the <strong>Ave</strong>nue, yet millions<br />
of ethereal miles from civilization. You can almost<br />
throw a stone from <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue and<br />
Swinton and hit a Royal Poinciana tree on the<br />
premises of this majestic space.<br />
There is one difference between this historic<br />
landmark and most restaurants with a<br />
pretty face – the food is equally as spectacular<br />
as the surroundings. Yes, we expected<br />
the food to be good and yes we thought<br />
they would have a well storied chef. But the<br />
menu is far superior to most; and the marinades,<br />
fish dishes, vegetables and salads are
some of the best you will find in the realm of<br />
five-star restaurants.<br />
But the best part is that the prices are on<br />
par with most restaurants of this ilk. Their<br />
Fig Salad is one of the best of breed with<br />
baby arugula that is startlingly fresh, spiced<br />
walnuts, figs, Manchego cheese and serrano<br />
ham in a sweet sherry vinaigrette.<br />
From this jumping off point there was no<br />
turning back. Dish after dish came out of the<br />
kitchen with as much fanfare as a Victoria Secret<br />
supermodel. The Roasted Black Cod was<br />
a winner in a miso glaze with caramelized bok<br />
choy and forbidden black rice. The Seared<br />
Grouper was served in an orange thyme butter<br />
sauce with butternut squash puree and<br />
haricot verts (French for green beans).<br />
Also noteworthy is the Seared Sea Scallops<br />
with celery root puree and roasted mushrooms<br />
in a Madeira jus. If you’re cravings are<br />
more on a meatier pathway we suggest the<br />
Seared Duck Breast roasted in salsify with cipollini<br />
onions in a morello cherry sauce.<br />
The dishes at the Sundy House are so good<br />
it’s hard not to want to eat the paper they are<br />
printed on. Executive Chef Culver has been<br />
holding court here for nine years and his passion<br />
for excellence and flavor flapping goodness<br />
is beyond mere verbal description.<br />
One example of creative wizardry that<br />
would bring Julia Child to tears is the Maple<br />
Bacon Brussels Sprouts. But we digress. The<br />
Braised Pork Shank is also superb - made<br />
with creamy polenta and mirepoix (diced)<br />
vegetables in a flavor-filled wine sauce.<br />
The fish – which is often sourced locally<br />
– was a favorite of local Delray fundraiser<br />
Paul Ellenbogen. “The Seared Grouper was<br />
so thick and tender – it was an explosive<br />
combination of flavors. I feel like I’ve been<br />
beamed away by a starship transporter and<br />
dropped into a tropical paradise.”<br />
He is right. The Sundy House is a tropical<br />
paradise. With over 5000 plants derived<br />
from 500 foliage types from all over the<br />
world, this outdoor setting has everything<br />
one needs to dream big while being seduced<br />
by flavors and texture of unlimited delight.<br />
Combine that with Savannah-style gazebos,<br />
serene waterfalls, benches and streams and<br />
you have an evening to remember forever.<br />
While the dinner is nothing short of spectacular,<br />
their Sunday Brunch is world class.<br />
Situated on the historic grounds with the<br />
sparkling goodness of Mother Nature’s sidekick,<br />
the Sundy House Sunday Brunch was<br />
voted by diners of Open Table in 2016 as a top<br />
100 best brunch spots in the country (there<br />
were only three in Florida). Their whirlwind<br />
of food stations range from a carving station,<br />
pasta station, seafood bar (with everything<br />
imaginable), charcuterie and salad bar, omelet<br />
station, French toast, waffles, side dishes<br />
and a veritable sweet tooth fantasy station.<br />
Also included in this feast-of-the-fortunate<br />
are unlimited Mimosas and Bloody Marys.<br />
Saturday Brunch is a bit tamer with an<br />
a la carte menu that includes omelets with<br />
gourmet ingredients, avocado toast, eggs<br />
Benedict, Cobb salad, lobster tacos, beer<br />
batter fish and chips and other dishes.<br />
If you’re looking for an idyllic wedding location<br />
The Sundy House is the perfect venue.<br />
The tranquil one-acre botanical garden, guest<br />
rooms, award-winning restaurant, fresh water<br />
streams, charming gazebos and mood altering<br />
lighting is as romantic as a celeb-fueled<br />
private island. That is precisely the reason The<br />
Sundy House hosts over 75 weddings a year.<br />
The Sundy House was built in 1902 and is<br />
known for its historic grandiosity and original<br />
owner – the first Mayor of Delray Beach,<br />
John Sundy. The beautifully restored Sundy<br />
House could calm an energizer bunny and ignite<br />
romance among a semblance of strangers,<br />
but its natural order is truly a great testament<br />
to its current owners and historical<br />
heritage. It is listed on the National Register<br />
of Historic Places and is one of the most divine<br />
restaurants to grace our city limits.<br />
To dine at Sundy House is to dine among<br />
kings. It’s truly a memorable experience.<br />
Come along for the ride.<br />

Do Natural Antibiotics and<br />
HomeopATHIC Remedies Work For Pets?<br />
In our world and scope of everyday<br />
commerce, we deal with natural ways<br />
to treat health challenges in pets and<br />
people daily. In our position in the marketplace,<br />
we have access to thousands of<br />
natural foods. They range from our macro<br />
foods such as meat, potatoes and vegetables<br />
to the micro nutrient foods such<br />
as salt, pepper, herbs and spices.<br />
The introduction of antibiotics to the<br />
field of medicine has been credited with<br />
saving countless lives, turning serious<br />
and life-threatening infections into temporary<br />
ones. However, with the millions,<br />
if not billions of prescriptions for antibiotic<br />
drugs that have been written over<br />
the years, there comes a serious price:<br />
microorganisms are adapting. We now<br />
have what’s called “super bugs.”<br />
In the past we fought off infections<br />
even before antibiotics were discovered.<br />
The body has the natural ability to fight<br />
all types of challenges, especially when<br />
it is supported by proper nutrition including<br />
select botanicals. We must also<br />
understand that antibiotics only work<br />
on bacterial infections. If the infection is<br />
viral, yeast, or fungal, antibiotics will not<br />
help at all and will kill much of the beneficial<br />
bacteria throughout the body, specifically<br />
in the digestive tract. Super bugs<br />
don’t respond to regular prescriptions of<br />
medicinal antibiotics either. We need to<br />
take serious measures to deal with the<br />
problem of antibiotic resistance.<br />
There are a plethora of natural herbs<br />
and botanical antibiotics that can handle<br />
the ongoing assaults on the body that our<br />
pets and ourselves face daily. Along with<br />
that, there are actually additional benefits<br />
that these natural products offer as<br />
most are antiviral and anti-fungal as well.<br />
In fact, because these herbs and botanicals<br />
are foods, they only target pathogens<br />
that are foreign to the body.<br />
Do you know the health benefits of<br />
sea salt, turmeric, curry, basil, rosemary,<br />
pepper and a whole host of other things<br />
we add to our diet? Did you know that if<br />
you apply raw honey to a cut, scrape or a<br />
bite, an infection will NOT develop? Do<br />
you know that most cold and flu symptoms<br />
in our pets and ourselves are chemical<br />
irritants? Most of these symptoms<br />
are self limiting, meaning the body will<br />
heal by allowing the body to heal itself.<br />
We already mentioned raw honey as<br />
one of our choices and there are many<br />
more. In fact, many are already in your<br />
home. Do you have Turmeric, Ginger,<br />
These pets are avAILABLE for adoption<br />
Cayenne or other spicy pepper powders?<br />
How about Triphala, Pau d’Arco, Echinacea<br />
and Apple Cider Vinegar? All can<br />
be used in food, water, broth, smoothies<br />
and applied topically when mixed with<br />
safe healthy oils such as organic coconut<br />
or hemp oil. When used in food, we are<br />
supporting the immune system. It can be<br />
used topically on a wound, for periodontal<br />
issues or as drops for ears. Using in<br />
food is best, as it supports the natural<br />
defenses.<br />
The choice is yours. Do you handle<br />
the small health challenges with a species<br />
appropriate raw natural food diet<br />
along with the natural antibiotics and<br />
cures that were provided from nature<br />
and work - or do you continue to cultivate<br />
new super bugs that continue new<br />
health challenges to only require more<br />
toxic solutions?<br />

Your Fish Isn’t a Jumper<br />

were small, shiny, silver, diamond shaped<br />
fish. Then they grew, and grew and grew,<br />
until they were 6 to 8 inches long. We had<br />
made the classic mistake most fish tank<br />
owners make. We bought fish without research.<br />
Not only were they big, they were<br />
fast. When they weren’t terrifying the<br />
other fish in the tank with their speed, they<br />
were, well, eating them.<br />
They were incredibly high strung for<br />
fish. Every time I would turn the dining<br />
room lights on or off they would either try<br />
to jump, whacking themselves on the tank<br />
canopy, or they would bang into the glass<br />
wall of the tank.<br />
Well it was time to move from the condo<br />
to our house in suburbia. We called<br />
my brother, who had a truck, and my best<br />
friend Karen to help us move the fish a few<br />
days before Moving Day.<br />
I thought I had thought of everything.<br />
We had laid a tarp in the floor in front of<br />
the tank (in case of spillage) and had a<br />
clean cooler, fishnets, and a siphoning<br />
hose. I siphoned off about half of the water<br />
into the cooler, and then proceeded to try<br />
and net the fish. The surviving small fish<br />
were pretty easy, but the big fast fish took<br />
a bit more work. Finally, I caught one. I<br />
lifted it free of the tank and, much to my<br />
shock, it leapt from the net and fortunately<br />
landed in the cooler.<br />
My shriek of alarm brought the troops to<br />
attention. Now of course the same shriek<br />
must have frightened the leaping fish because<br />
it jumped straight out of the cooler<br />
and came nose to fishy eyeball with me. I<br />
yelled again and slammed the cooler lid<br />
shut just as it hit the water again.<br />
My brother and husband were laughing<br />
so hard that they were rendered incapable<br />
of helping. Karen however knew the real<br />
difficulties were just beginning. There<br />
were three more Tinfoil Barbs in the tank,<br />
and when we took the lid off the cooler the<br />
fish inside was gonna jump again.<br />
With Karen manning the lid I managed<br />
to net each of the remaining fish in turn,<br />
Karen would yank open the lid so I could<br />
literally toss the fish in and she would try<br />
to slam it shut again before the fish inside<br />
tried to escape. And all the time my brother<br />
and husband were laughing and Karen<br />
and I would scream at every unexpected<br />
fish movement.<br />
The last fish was ready to go in.<br />
Karen lifted the lid. I tossed the<br />
fish. As Karen slammed the lid down one of<br />
the fish made a last ditch effort and jumped.<br />
The timing was bad; Karen basically batted<br />
the fish back into the cooler with the lid.<br />
And of course I was screaming.<br />
My brother looked at me and said, “Aren’t<br />
you going to check to make sure that fish is<br />
ok?”<br />
I gave him my best “Are you nuts?” look.<br />
I broke all the rules of safe fish transport<br />
and eventually resorted to just pouring the<br />
whole cooler, water and fish and everything<br />
into the newly set up tank at the new<br />
house. I just couldn’t face netting the little<br />
buggers again. Surprisingly we all survived<br />
with only emotional scars to show for the<br />
whole adventure.<br />
