Happy 

Birthday 

America!!! 

July is my absolute favorite month of the year! It’s my birthday 

and America’s birthday month! What could be better 

than family, friends, food, and fireworks?! Check out our 

Special Feature on National Holidays in July for a few more fun 

things to celebrate like...ice cream, lasagna, tequila... 

Looking for places to escape the heat? Well Delray has 

plenty! Stroll the Ave and discover new places to quench your 

thirst, shop, browse an art gallery, or grab a bite to eat, after 

relaxing on the beach. And speaking of the beach... 

How about a nice summer read to keep you company on the 

beach? We have a few really great suggestions in our regular 

Gotta Read feature. Behind Closed Doors, Look Behind You, Tornado 

Weather, and The Lying Game are Lisa Marie’s picks for 

July. Let us know which one you read! 

With all the American fare this month, you might want a 

little change - let’s face it - there is only so many hamburgers 

and hotdogs a person can eat! So - how about a little exotic 

cuisine? House of Siam is as authentic Thai food you can experience 

without actually traveling to Thailand. Their food is 

beyond delicious and the presentation is a feast for the eyes as 

well! Stop in and tell Pian and Patrick we sent you. 

Our City Person this month is Rachel Saunders. A coal miner’s 

daughter from a small town, population less than 700. This 

highly decorated 22 year veteran of the Delray Beach Police 

Department is dedicated, compassionate, and very respected. 

We are lucky to have her! 

Enjoy the holiday festivities and fireworks!

Lea Black, realtor 

My name is Lea Black and I was born in 

Connecticut, but spent much of my adult 

life in Pennsylvania. But, like many Floridians, 

the beaches and weather brought me 

to South Florida in December 2013. I believe 

behind any successful professional, you will 

discover a strong, focused individual who does 

whatever is required to help their clients reach 

their goals. I pride myself in bringing together an 

energetic spirit, and a bevy of professional expertise. 

I make every effort to make the purchasing 

or selling of a home a very rewarding and positive 

experience. Whether buying or selling a home, 

my knowledge and great attention to detail has 

become my trademark and a genuine asset to my 

clients. I was inspired by my love of real estate, 

and began my career more than 16 years ago 

in 2001 and earned the coveted “Rookie of the 

Year” Award in my first year, followed by several 

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards, along with the 

Masters Ruby Award and Quality Service Award. 

I am experienced in residential, commercial, investment 

sales, land development, and rentals. 

I am a mother of two, and looking forward to 

my eldest son’s upcoming nuptials this month.

John Binford 

I 

am John Binford, a certified personal 

trainer, group class instructor, and 

sports nutritionist exclusively at Purlife 

Fitness Center located in Pineapple Grove in 

Delray Beach. I moved here about 3 years 

ago, after playing Division-1 football and 

graduating from Florida Atlantic University 

with a Bachelor’s Degree, and am currently 

pursuing a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science. 

I have a true desire and passion for 

this career in health and fitness and I am 

not alone in this town! Delray Beach is an 

all-American beach town that possesses a 

very close-knit, intertwined community. 

One of the reasons why I love working/living 

where I do, with the people that I do, is 

because so many others share my same passion 

for health and fitness! Come join in on 

the action at Purlife the next time you’re in 

town where you can grab lunch, a haircut, 

and a sweat session all in the same place! 

You can me find me on the gym floor training, 

the group classroom getting hyped, or 

at Purgreens teaching the elusive facts of 

nutrition! My motto is simple: ‘You ARE 

what you consistently DO.’ Are you doing 

enough to meet your goals?

Patient safety has been the guiding principal 

in my career as an Anesthesiologist. 

The continuous drive to achieve the 

highest standards of care to ensure the safest 

outcomes possible is the reason I’m passionate 

about and love being an anesthesiologist. My 

goal is to provide an additional layer of safety 

in any surgical setting that I’m associated with. 

I believe many plastic surgery patients seek 

the same level of clarity and attention when 

it comes to patient safety. My approach to anesthesia 

has always been primarily focused 

on patient needs in an effort to provide them 

with the information they desire regarding the 

various anesthesia options available to them. 

My training and tenure as Assistant Professor 

of Clinical Anesthesiology & Director of a 

Post Graduate Specialty Program, has provided 

me with the beneficial experience of helping 

numerous patients to elevate their level of 

understanding and increase their confidence 

levels undergoing surgical procedures. I bring 

the same passion for patient safety to Inspire 

Cosmetic Surgery and embrace the core values 

we have established: Remarkable Results, Unparalleled 

Safety and Exceptional Care.

PreParing for 

Hurricane SeaSon 

BY CHUCK HALBERG 

{ 

When preparing for a hurricane, the most important thing you 

can do is to be ready for any situation. The team at Stuart & Shelby 

understands that hurricanes can be scary, but as long as you have 

the proper supplies and an emergency shelter plan everything 

should be fine. To find your closest emergency shelter, 

visit www.pbcgov.com. 

We’ve put together three tips to help you 

get through hurricane season: 

1. It is important to have disaster supplies 

on hand. Things such as flashlights, batteryoperated 

radio, non-perishables, first aid 

kit, and batteries are essential during a 

hurricane. 

2. Checking into your home and auto 

insurance might be the most important 

thing you do before a hurricane. Confirm 

that policies are valid and that coverage is 

appropriate, that you have copies of your 

policies, and emergency phone numbers. 

3. Develop an emergency plan with your 

family. Make sure family members know 

how to turn off gas, electricity, and water. 

Also, it is critical that all children know how 

to contact the police or fire department 

Don’t forget, if your home is under 

construction make sure that your 

contractor has a plan to make sure your 

residence is secure during hurricane 

season. If you chose Stuart & Shelby as your 

contractor, feel comfortable knowing that 

we will ensure the safety of your ongoing 

project, so you can focus on ensuring the 

safety of your family.

Thermae Retreat 

By Kelly Sacchetti 

I 

knew at a very young age that ‘Beauty’ 

was my calling. I’ve always considered 

myself an artist. I see the world in color 

whether it’s painting a sheet of paper or a 

living breathing canvas. Having a strong 

background in art and an understanding of 

the color wheel combined with a natural 

love of beauty, my career path was never in 

question. My love, passion and driving force 

in the hair industry is the ability to change 

a person’s look completely, by simply by enhancing 

their best accessory, their hair! I received 

my license in New Jersey just over 10 

years ago, and was excited to start my career 

in Florida. Continuing education is a crucial 

element as the industry is ever changing and 

developing, like taking classes and training 

with industry greats such as Wella, Aloxxi 

Academy and Nick Arrojo. I like to think 

outside the box when it comes to creating 

a look - combining techniques like foiling, 

balayage, block coloring, blunt cutting, and 

texturizing - while factoring in what the client 

naturally brings to her chair, their skin 

tone, face shape, eye color, and natural hair 

tones to achieve custom colors and styles! I 

am now working at the Tyler Presley Salon.

Debra Kelly 

Hello - My name is Debra Kelly and my 

work in the world is about awakening 

and the return to wholeness. My path 

developed as a result of my personal healing 

journey, in search of answers. In 1993, I 

began this never-ending quest of the Healing 

Arts, as a massage therapist. Stepping 

into my truth as a Medicine Woman and 

Spiritual Coach has evolved into an expression 

of my own modality an integration of all 

the tools I have collected along the way. In 

my participation of discovering what brings 

me joy, I have connected to a deep remembering 

and vision that reveals through my 

work and sharing. My connection to spirit 

and earth play a vital role in all that I do. I 

understand the need to come back to self – 

everything points to our relationship with 

higher self – to thy self be true. I understand 

that we are so much more than a physical 

body, we are eternal beings and we are one. 

I am so thrilled to finally work and play in a 

place where transformation is the name of 

the game, Thermae Retreat.

delray under $50 

By Darien Davies 

{ 

Now that Delray Beach is a rising star in the art, culture and social 

scene, it might seem a little difficult to find affordable activities, shops 

or restaurants. I am here to prove you wrong. Delray Beach offers a mix 

of high-end boutiques with laid-back restaurants, and events for the 

whole family or nightclubs for night owls. Here is what you can do in 

Delray Beach in July for $50 or less. 

I’m not sure how it’s possible, but it’s 

Fourth of July again! This means it’s 

time for bathing suits, the beach, BBQs 

and, of course, fireworks. Delray has had 

plenty of practice for their July 4th Celebration 

and continue to perfect the daylong 

experience. Held Tuesday, July 4 on 

A1A and the beach, activities start as early 

as 8 a.m. and last until 9 p.m. with the 

fireworks on the beach. There are a ton of 

activities throughout the day and include 

a sand-sculpting contest, sports activities 

including soccer darts, flag raising ceremony, 

a Silver Ball Pinball gaming tent, live 

entertainment from Slip & The Spinouts, 

Aaron Carter and AJR, flag activities and 

crafts in honor of the new flag, a kids corner, 

and more. You can even grab some eats 

and dine al fresco, courtesy of Caffe Luna 

Rosa, Boston’s on the Beach and Burger Fi. 


There’s something special about the Celebration 

(on top of the fact that it’s Independence 

Day) because it seems like all of 

your local friends and neighbors are on the 

beach in their red, white and blue, and out 

to just have a good time and enjoy the city. 

The flag raising ceremony starts at 5 p.m. 

at Gleason Street and Atlantic Avenue, so if 

you want to skip the hot, mid-day sun, plan 

to start the festivities at 5 p.m. (not including 

pre-partying) and make your way to 

the beach after. For a complete list of times 

and activities, visit www.julyfourthdelraybeach.com 

or call (561) 278-0424. 

Communication, friends, family, 

relationships and respect are all 

wrapped up into social wellness. If 

you’re feeling a little low in either of these 

areas, get yourself in shape because you’ve 

got a program to attend. July is Social Wellness 

Month and comes around just in time 

for the Women’s National Book Association 

(WNBA) Program. Held Wednesday, 

July 12 at the Murder on the Beach Bookstore, 

you’ll learn traditional publishing: 

how it works, and how it works for you. 

The instructor, Joanne Sinchuk, is a bookseller 

with 20 years of experience in the 

book business. She will discuss the ins and 

outs of traditional publishing and how it 

benefits the first time author. This is a 

great program if you have imagination, 

curiosity about writing your first book, or 

just want to learn about the process with 

some fellow female friends. The class is 

held at 6:30 p.m. and is free for members 

and $10 for nonmembers. The Murder of 

the Beach Bookstore is located at 273 N.E. 

Second Ave. Email president.WNBASoFla@gmail.com 

or call (561) 279-7790 for 

more information. 

I 

don’t care if it’s Saturday morning, 

Sunday brunch or after work during 

the week, it’s always 

a good time for some 

cool, calm and casual 

refreshments. National 

Refreshment 

Day is Thursday, July 

27 and is the perfect 

day to get crafty with 

your cocktails with 

your cohorts. Old School 

Square is kind enough to 

host the Canvas & Cocktails 

event where you 

can create an art piece in 

a relaxed atmosphere, 

with a delicious glass 

of wine, craft beer or 

signature cocktail in 

hand. Each month offers 

a different canvas 

to test your talents, 

but the amount of fun 

is always the same. You 

don’t need any experience 

to be able to partake 

in the night out, but studies 

show that if you don a beret 

while painting, you’ll have 

greater success. Just sayin’. So 

if you’re looking for 

something different

for girls’ night, or want to make your boyfriend feel pleasantly 

uncomfortable, this event is for you. You’ll be able to make 

a piece of art (the term is used loosely), have some drinks, 

and leave with something either for your home or your next 

garage sale. Canvas & Cocktails is held from 7 to 9 p.m. and 

costs $35, so you have some available funds to grab a postpainting 

cocktail afterward. Old School Square is located at 51 

N. Swinton Ave. Visit www.oldschoolsquare.org or call (561) 

243-7922 for more information. 

I 

love dogs, but the Dog Days are a little more difficult to bear. 

The Dog Days most often refer to the hot days of summer 

when dogs would lie around on the concrete panting, but, 

instead, it turns out that the dog days refer to the dog star, Sirius, 

and its position in the heavens. To the Greeks and Romans, 

the “dog days” occurred around the day with Sirius appeared to 

rise just before the sun, in late July. They called these days the 

hottest time of the year, which is a period that could bring fever 

or even a catastrophe. Whatever you believe in, July is hot, and 

I’ve got the fever for some cool cocktails. Some of my favorites 

places for cooling down are El Camino for their margaritas (all 

of them), Brule for The Lady Rules, City Oyster for white wine 

on tap (and blackened fish tacos of course), Blue Anchor for a 

pint - or three - and a nice spot in the shade, Caffe Luna Rosa for 

a Peroni and some beach-goer people watching, and Cut432 for 

some happy hour wine and appetizers. The Avenue offers us 

so many ways to cool down during these dog days that we can 

pretend like they’re almost not here at all. Ha! – not quite, Florida, 

you’re a swamp. But we still love you. For a complete list of 

downtown restaurants, visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com 

and enjoy your summer! 

Ahh, family. The group of people you can’t live with 

but can’t live without. While family nights can be 

fun, watching Sound of Music for the 19th time isn’t 

(thanks, mom). So if you’re feelin’ the family but not the fun, 

breathe some fresh life into your go-to events. July is Family 

Golf Month and you’re cordially invited to Putt’n Around 

where you can enjoy a mini golf experience. There’s two 

courses to choose from, either The Everglades or The Ocean, 

and both are equally as fun and give you a little escape from 

the local Delray environment, complete with music, botanical 

gardens and cascading waterfalls. What’s also fun is that 

they have snacks and tasty adult beverages that you can grab 

before, during and after your 18-hole experience, and they 

even deliver so you don’t have to ruin your hole-in-one streak. 

Pricing is $11 for 18 holes but they also have happy hour pricing 

and reduced pricing for kids. 

So grab the family, maybe put a 

little wager on the game (no 

chores for a week 

for the winner?) 

and enjoy some 

friendly, familyfun 

competition. 

Putt’n Around is located 

at 350 N.E. Fifth Ave.

July 7 

For those of you who have been 

waiting for the return of Spider- 

Man, your wait is over. “Spider- 

Man: Homecoming” has a new 

Peter Parker character as actor 

Andrew Garfield has outgrown 

the role of a high school student 

who moonlights as a super hero. 

Tom Holland is the new guy. 

Marisa Tomei plays his Aunt 

May. Robert Downey, Jr. returns 

as his mentor, Tony Stark. Jon 

Watts directs the fourth in a series 

that began in 2002. 

July 14 

Speaking of sequels, “War for 

the Planet of the Apes” continues 

the story of simians who are 

smarter than their human counterparts. 

The series originated with 

the novel “La Planete des Singes” 

by Pierre Boule in 1963. The latest 

chapter has Andy Serkis returning 

as the chief ape, Caesar, who faces 

a ruthless human army led by the 

Colonel (Woody Harrelson). Judy 

Greer and Steve Zahn co-star, and 

the director is Matt Reeves, who 

directed the 2014 “Dawn of the 

Planet of the Apes.” 

July 21 

“Valerian and the City 

of a Thousand Planets” is 

yet another movie based 

on a comic book. Valerian 

(Dane De Haan) and Laureline 

(Cara DeLevigne) 

are charged with keeping 

order in the universe. The 

Commander (Clive Owen) 

orders them to the city of 

Alpha, where thousands of 

different species interact. 

Bonus: The Beatles beautiful 

“Because” is part of the 

soundtrack. Luc Besson wrote 

and directed. 

“Dunkirk” was a turning point 

early in World War II in 1940. Belgian, 

British and French allies were 

surrounded by German soldiers in 

the French town of Dunkirk. Miraculously 

they were evacuated, which 

raised overall morale. The A-list 

cast includes Kenneth Branagh, 

Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance and 

in his screen debut, One Direction 

singer Harry Styles. Christopher 

Nolan (“Interstellar,” 

“Inception” and several Batman 

movies) wrote and directs. 

We can only guess what 

happens on a “Girls Trip” to 

the Essence Festival in New 

Orleans. The comedy cast 

includes Regina Hall, Queen 

Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, 

Tiffany Haddish and Kate 

Walsh. Malcom D. Lee 

(“Barbershop: The Next 

Cut”) directs. 

July 28 

Well of course we have “The 

Emoji Movie.” Those little things 

are everywhere. This animated 

comedy explores the secret world 

of Textopolis, where all those 

Smart Phone Emoji live. Voices are 

provided by Ilana Glazer, Jennifer 

Coolidge, Maya Rudolph and Patrick 

Stewart as Poop. 

“Atomic Blonde” sounds dangerous. 

Well she is, when she is 

played by Charlize Theron as star 

British secret service agent Lorraine 

Broughton. She is sent to 

Berlin to sort things out, with station 

Chief David Percival (James 

McAvoy) as her right-hand man. 

The story is based on the graphic 

novel “The Coldest City,” and also 

includes Sofia Boutello, John 

Goodman and Toby Jones. Director 

David Leitch will be delivering 

“Deadpool 2” in 2018.

NEW YORK TIMES 

AND USA TODAY 

BESTSELLING DE- 

BUT PSYCHOLOG- 

ICAL THRILLER 

YOU CAN’T MISS! 

The perfect 

marriage? Or the 

perfect lie? 

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and 

Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has 

charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated 

attorney who has never lost a case; she 

is a flawless homemaker, a masterful 

gardener and cook, and dotes on her 

disabled younger sister. Though they are 

still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. 

You might not want to like them, but you 

do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the 

ease and comfort of their home, by the 

graciousness of the dinner parties they 

throw. You’d like to get to know Grace 

better. 

But it’s difficult, because you realize 

Jack and Grace are inseparable. 

Some might call this true love. Others 

might wonder why Grace never answers 

the phone. Or why she can never meet 

for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. 

How she can cook such elaborate meals 

but remain so slim. Or why she never 

seems to take anything with her when 

she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or 

why there are such high-security metal 

shutters on all the downstairs windows. 

Some might wonder what’s really going 

on once the dinner party is over, and 

the front door has closed. 

Tornado Weather 

by Deborah E. Kennedy 


“Dark and dangerous and strange 

and wonderful…Kennedy writes with 

the gritty poetry of Daniel Woodrell and 

misfit sensibility of Flannery O’Connor.” 

—Benjamin Percy 

Five-year-old Daisy Gonzalez’s father 

is always waiting for her at the bus stop. 

But today, he isn’t, and Daisy disappears. 

When Daisy goes 

missing, nearly everyone 

in town 

suspects or knows 

something different 

about what happened. 

And they 

also know a lot 

about each other. 

The immigrants 

who work in the dairy farm 

know their employers’ secrets. The hairdresser 

knows everything except what’s 

happening in her own backyard. And the 

roadkill collector knows love and heartbreak 

more than anyone would ever 

expect. They are all connected, in ways 

small and profound, open and secret. 

By turns unsettling, dark, and wry, 

Kennedy’s powerful voice brings the 

town’s rich fabric to life. “Tornado 

Weather” is an affecting portrait of a 

complex and flawed cast of characters 

striving to find fulfillment in their lives – 

and Kennedy brilliantly shows that there 

is nothing average about an average life. 

Look Behind You 

by Iris Johansen, Roy Johansen 


A serial killer is 

on the loose in San 

Diego with a most 

unusual M.O. With 

each kill, the perpetrator 

leaves behind 

mystifying random 

objects. In this confusing 

array of unrelated 

evidence, the 

one thing that is clear is that the murders 

all have one characteristic in common: 

they all require the specific skills of 

Kendra Michaels, hired gun for both the 

CIA and FBI. Kendra, who was blind for 

the first twenty years of her life, gained 

her sight through a revolutionary surgical 

procedure and now uses her acute 

powers of observation to assist in cases 

all over the United States. 

FBI investigators soon make a startling 

discovery: the left-behind objects 

are actually souvenirs of other unsolved 

serial murder cases from around the 

country. And the new crimes feature 

“holdback” characteristics never disclosed 

to the general public—meaning 

that one single killer was behind the 

nation’s most notorious serial murder 

cases and has now come to challenge and 

taunt Kendra. 

The investigators – a “dream team” 

of profilers– join Kendra in the pursuit, 

but as the body count rises and the detectives 

themselves become the newest 

targets, Kendra must risk everything to 

defeat a psychopath whose terrifying 

plan is years in the making… 

The Lying Game 

by Ruth Ware 


On a cool 

June morning, a 

woman is walking 

her dog 

in the idyllic 

coastal village 

of Salten along 

a tidal estuary 

known as the 

Reach. Before 

she can stop 

him, the dog 

charges into the water to retrieve what 

first appears to be a wayward stick, but 

to her horror, turns out to be something 

much more sinister... 

The next morning, three women in 

and around London—Fatima, Thea, and 

Isabel—receive the text they had always 

hoped would NEVER come, from 

the fourth in their formerly inseparable 

clique, Kate, that says only, “I need you.” 

The four girls were best friends at 

Salten, a second rate boarding school 

set near the cliffs of the English Channel. 

Each different in their own way, the four 

became inseparable and were notorious 

for playing the Lying Game, telling lies at 

every turn to both fellow boarders and 

faculty, with varying states of serious 

and flippant nature that were disturbing 

enough to ensure that everyone steered 

clear of them. The myriad and complicated 

rules of the game are strict: no lying to 

each other—ever. Bail on the lie when it 

becomes clear it is about to be found out. 

But their little game had consequences, 

and the girls were all expelled in their 

final year of school under mysterious circumstances 

surrounding the death of the 

school’s eccentric art teacher, Ambrose 

(who also happens to be Kate’s father).

U-2’s Triumphant 

Return to Miami 

By skip SHEFFIELD 

PHOTOS by tom craig 

U-2 came, saw and conquered when it 

played Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium June 11, 

2017. Really it was more of a lovefest in a 

most international of cities, with fans waving 

the flags of their nations. 

U-2 has come quite a way since its humble 

beginnings in Dublin, Ireland as teenagers 

in 1976 at Mount Temple Comprehensive 

School. They have since become one of the 

most popular and successful groups in the 

history of pop music. The 1987 album “Joshua 

Tree” was the work that launched them 

as international superstars. The US + Them 

tour is a 30th anniversary of that landmark 

album, which was played in its entirety. The 


concert began with one of their earliest hits, 

“Sunday Bloody Sunday,” with drummer 

Larry Mullen, Jr., seated on a satellite stage, 

pounding out the signature rhythm, joined 

by bassist Adam Clayton, guitarist The Edge 

and singer Bono on another smaller stage. 

With U-2 it is just not the music. It is their 

spectacular sound and light stage presentation. 

The group made good use of Hard Rock 

Stadium’s huge five story high definition 

digital video screens wider than the football 

field where the Miami Dolphins and University 

of Miami Hurricanes play. 

Singer Bono is known for his political 

and social activism, but in Miami it was all 

about love. 

“These are your songs now,” he declared. 

“Let them Sing to You.” 

And sing they did over the course of two 

hours with great hits such as “New Year’s 

Day,” “Pride (In the Name of Love),” “With 

Or Without You,” and lesser numbers such 

as “Bad,” “Red Hill Mining Town” and “One 

Tree Hill.” 

The Miami show proved why U-2 is one of 

the most successful musical acts of all time, 

with 170 million records sold, 22 Grammy 

Awards won and a 2005 placement in the 

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Bono returned 

the favor by calling Miami a “sexy city.”

Sciatica… 

Exploring Cutting Edge Treatments and Addressing Misconceptions 

By Dr. John Conde 

{ 

A shocking 80 % of all Americans will experience low back 

pain at some point in their life. Its epidemic status continues 

to grow and sufferers seek the most cutting edge approaches to 

not only ensuring relief but also restoring function. 

Quite often individuals may also develop 

associated thigh or lower leg pain termed 

sciatica. The clinical term sciatica requires 

clarification. Sciatica simply means “pain 

in the leg.” It does not mean that the sciatic 

nerve has been “pinched.” In fact, the 

sciatic nerve is not involved in most cases 

of thigh or gluteal pain because it does not 

supply sensation from this area. 


What Is The Cause Of Sciatica? 

Sciatica can be caused by irritation or 

trauma to nerve roots within the spinal 

canal or to peripheral nerves outside of 

the canal anywhere from the pelvis to 

the lower leg. Space occupying lesions 

within the spinal canal such as a bone 

spur, disc herniation, congenitally narrow 

canal, infection, metastasis, or mass 

can be the causative agent. Outside of 

the canal we find the instigators to be a 

femur head fracture, incorrectly placed 

intra-muscular injection, fixation of the 

sacroiliac joint, and primary bone cancer 

of the pelvis. 

The two most common and least diagnosed 

causes are facet joint syndrome and 

piriformis contracture. Facet joints help 

to guide motion of the spine letting us 

bend forward and back and side to side. 

They also relieve some of the weight bearing 

burden of the rest of the spine. Quite 

often they are irritated due to an injury, 

arthritis, or misalignment. This irritation 

produces referred pain into the gluteal region 

and back of the thigh. 

Piriformis contracture occurs when the 

piriformis muscle tightens and shortens 

for a prolonged period of time compressing 

peripheral nerves that provide sensation 

from the gluteal region and thigh. 

The tightening can occur due to repetitive 

use such as is seen in runners and tennis 

players, injury, and misalignment of the 

pelvis. The pain pattern is typically represented 

as severe buttock pain and mild 

thigh pain. 

How Is It Diagnosed? 

A comprehensive neurological and 

orthopedic examination should be performed 

checking reflexes, strength, sensation, 

posture, gait, muscle tone, and 

evaluating pain production from different 

positions. X-rays help to narrow down 

the diagnosis. Further imaging studies 

such as MRI and CT should only be necessary 

after a lack of improvement from 

conservative treatment or a progression 

of symptoms. 

Cutting Edge, Conservative Treatments 

The treatment of sciatica is aimed at 

removing the cause and restoring proper 

function to the area. Cutting edge maneuvers 

such as eccentric fast stretching 

and cross cord inhibition focus on reducing 

tension in tightened and shortened 

muscle and joint capsules. Chiropractic 

manipulations focus on removing the 

irritation and restoring proper motion 

in the facet joints. Flexion-distraction 

therapy helps to reposition some of the 

herniated material and increase the overall 

health of the disc. Neurophysiologic 

rehabilitation of the part of the brain that 

directly controls the tone of the deep spinal 

muscles helps to create stability in 

the spine. Lastly, a proper nutritional assessment 

should be made to promote an 

anti-inflammatory diet.

Is Botox ® 

Really Toxic? 

By Thomas C. Balshi, M.D. 

People often ask me why anyone would want to inject poison or 

bacteria into their face just to get rid of wrinkles? My response is 

that the 11 million Americans who use Botox ® may have done a bit of 

and learned that it is not poison and it is not a bacteria. 

So if it’s not poison, what is it? 

“Botox ® ” is one of the many trade names 

for the protein called botulinum toxin that 

is produced by the bacterium Clostridium 

botulinum. While many refer to this neuromodulator 

as “Botox ® ,” there are actually 

several companies that make nearly identical 

products. Like it or not, it’s similar to how 

“Kleenex” became the term for all paper tissues. 

We lump Dysport, Xeomin, and Myoblock 

together and refer to all of these drugs 

as “Botox ® .” In my opinion Dysport, Xeomin, 

and Myoblock which are also clostridium 

derived proteins did a better job at naming 

their products (they left off the “tox” part, 

which limits patient anxiety). They achieve 

the same results - erasing wrinkles and turning 

the clock back 5-10 years with a medical 

procedure that typically takes less than 10 

minutes in a dermatologist’s office. 

Botox ® , known by the FDA as onabotulinumtoxin 

A, is merely a protein molecule 

composed of a string of amino acids, just 

like proteins found in vegetables and meat 

sources. The confusion for some lies in the 

misconception that people are getting “botulism” 

injections. Botulism is a severe, life 

threatening infection (which often starts as 

food poisoning) caused by the bacteria Clostidium 

botulinum. In severe cases of botulism, 

patients can become “septic” or “toxic” 

and can go into shock. But this has nothing 

to do with the cosmetic usage of Botox ® . 

There are no bacteria being injected during a 

cosmetic Botox ® treatment and therefore patients 

don’t become toxic. The FDA approved 

medical protein is synthesized in a laboratory 

and bottled and sold in sterile vials. One dark 

caveat, there have been reports of “Botox ® ” 

being sold on the black market that actually 

52 

July 2017 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

does contain bacteria. People who have been 

injected with illegal black market products 

have developed serious health problems that 

required hospital care. 

Botox ® has been safely used in medicine 

for the last 34 years. Originally it was approved 

by the FDA to treat spasticity in the 

eye muscles and an ocular condition call 

strabismus, and it is approved for children 

ages 12 and over. In addition to cosmetic 

use, Botox ® is used to treat cervical dystonia, 

writer’s cramp, excessive sweating, achalasia 

(an esophagus problem), chronic pain, 

neuropathy, migraine headaches and overactive 

bladders. 

What about complications? Using Botox ® 

cosmetically is an art form that should be administered 

only by highly trained professionals. 

While you may see advertisements for 

Botox ® in salons, spas and even a home party, 

Botox ® is exclusively a medical procedure, 

with the potential to have adverse side effects 

if not injected with the correct technique. In 

trained hands, Botox ® complications are usually 

limited to minor things like bruising or 

the occasional asymmetric eyebrow. More serious 

issues have resulted from injections of 

excessive amounts in the neck (not a cosmetic 

application). In this scenario Botox ® can 

travel to the muscles that control swallowing 

and coughing, and aspiration of food and/or 

pneumonia can result. These complications 

are extremely rare, but they do underscore 

that Botox ® treatments are not like getting a 

massage or facial. It is a medical procedure 

which requires the controlled environment 

and professional care of a medical office. Respect 

for the procedure ensures patient safety 

and optimum privacy.

Are genetics to blame 

for your dental health? 

BY Craig Spodak, DMD, PA 

Whether you love or hate your smile, your 

parents are not completely responsible! 

It’s easy to look at genetics as the cause 

for mostly everything about our bodies. 

They determine our looks, risk factors and 

predispositions for certain diseases, even 

our smiles. Researchers have recently been 

examining the link between poor oral health 

and the genes we receive from our parents 

to determine just how much of our smile is 

out of our hands. Turns out, even when considering 

genetics, we play the best and final 

role in determining our oral health! 

Cavities 

Some people have an increased risk for 

tooth decay simply because of their genetics. 

Researchers found that people whose 

parents had tooth decay were also more 

prone to cavities. This means that even if 

you eat well, brush at least twice a day and 

floss, you could still have a greater chance of 

developing cavities than someone who has 

worse oral care habits than you. For people 

with this genetic makeup, it is even that 

much more important to have great oral 

care habits and to see your dentist regularly 

because you have to monitor your smile 

a little bit harder than people who aren’t 

prone to cavities. 

Teeth Size and Shape 

Did you notice when you were growing up 

that a lot of your friends didn’t have braces? 

It turns out that teeth size and shape is the 

result of genetics. This means that if your 

parents had crooked, small or crowded teeth, 

there’s a good chance you’ll have to deal with 

these problems as well. You might have to 

wear Invisalign or braces as an adolescent 

or possibly in the future (if you haven’t remedied 

these issues yet), while your friends 

with different genes get to have a straight 

smile without any additional work. 


Gum Disease 

Nearly 50 percent of all Americans suffer 

from gum disease, and this part of the population 

may have been more likely to get the 

disease based on their genetic risk factors. 

People who have poor immune responses, 

or have a family history of autoimmune disorders, 

have a greater chance of developing 

gum disease. If you have a poor immune response 

(i.e. get sick often), you will have to 

more closely examine your oral health, so 

make sure your dental team is aware and 

that you’re visiting them often. 

Your Role 

While there are clearly genetic factors that 

influence your smile, you cannot completely 

blame genetics for your dental health. You 

play a huge factor in the health of your smile 

just by taking care of your teeth. Make sure 

to brush, floss, eat healthy, don’t use tobacco 

products, and see your hygienist and dentist 

for regularly scheduled cleanings, exams 

and X-rays. 

It is clear that genetics play a huge role 

in our dental health, but you, and the care 

you give your teeth, have greater influence 

on the overall health of your teeth and gums. 

By taking the very best care of your smile, 

and seeing your hygienist and dentist, you 

can overcome your less than desirable 

genes (thanks mom and dad!) and have a 

healthy, happy smile!

Overcoming 

Obstacles 

By Ashley Sica 

I often hear people talk about wanting to be fit, healthy and in shape 

{ but then its shortly followed by excuses as to why they’re not. 

Not enough time in the day, no motivation, 

traveling…there will always be obstacles! 

Let this be the month where there 

are NO excuses. If bikini season and this 

hot Florida weather isn’t enough to motivate 

you to get in shape, then find something 

that will. Here are some tips to help 

overcome some of the “excuses” that I commonly 

hear. 

1. “I don’t have 

enough time” 

A one-hour workout 

is 4% of your 

day! Not so bad 

when you look at 

it in those terms. 

I find great success 

in working 

out early in the 

morning before 

my day starts. 

It’s one less 

task that I have 

to worry about 

and it feels great 

to check it off your 

list. If early morning workouts aren’t for 

you, maybe a mid-day workout would be 

best on your lunch break. Find what time 

works best for you and stick to it. It’s true 

when they say, “The only workout you’ll regret 

is the one that didn’t happen.” 


2. “I travel too much” 

These days little to no equipment is 

needed for a sufficient workout. 

If you’re traveling and the hotel doesn’t 

have a gym, workout in your hotel room or 

go for a quick run if it permits. I have written 

many “hotel” workouts for my clients 

while they are traveling for work or vacation. 

If you don’t have a personal trainer to 

write your workouts get creative and write 

your own. Think bodyweight exercisessquats, 

pushups, lunges, dips, etc. Make 

sure to get your workout in at the beginning 

of your day to ensure it gets done. As 

far as nutrition goes when you’re traveling, 

always pack healthy snacks with you such 

a fruit, nuts and protein powder. If you will 

be having an extended stay in a hotel, make 

sure there is a refrigerator in the room and 

hit the nearest grocery store to stock up on 

healthy snacks. 

3. “I have no motivation” 

Motivation comes from within, so dig 

deep and find it. Grab a friend who has 

like- minded fitness goals and workout 

together. Having someone to hold you accountable 

is very valuable. Have a dress 

you’d like to fit into? Hang it somewhere 

where you’ll see it everyday. Set small goals 

for yourself that are attainable. Once you 

reach these goals your motivation level 

will increase. However, it takes time to see 

results so be patient and don’t be so quick 

to throw in the towel. Give yourself at least 

8 weeks to see any noticeable changes. 

I challenge you to take the no excuse 

stand and push yourself. Get up an extra 

hour earlier and start your day off 

with a workout. On your next trip or 

vacation set a goal of getting sweaty 

a certain amount of days. Make it a 

point to eat healthy when traveling. 

Set a vision for yourself with 

small attainable goals along the 

way. Don’t let silly excuses and 

obstacles stand in your way of 

looking and feeling your best!

Migraines, 

where do they come from? 

By Dr. Elan Schrier 

A migraine is not a disease, it is a Syndrome, 

{ or collection of symptoms. 


• 36 million American suffer from migraines. 

• 14 million Americans experience migraines 

on a DAILY basis 

• 1 in 4 households includes someone 

with Migraines. 

• Migraines rank in the Top 20 of the 

World’s Most Disabling Medical Illnesses 

• 10% of school-age children suffer from 

Migraines. 

• Migraine sufferers use 2.5 times the 

amount of prescription drugs and have six 

times as many diagnostic tests and services. 

• The average monthly healthcare costs 

for migraine sufferers is $145, while those 

who don’t suffer from migraines pay an average 

of $89 per month. 

The Migraine Research Foundation describes 

a migraine as “an extremely debilitating 

collection of neurological symptoms 

that usually includes a severe recurring 

intense throbbing pain on one side of the 

head (although in 1/3 of migraine attacks, 

both sides are affected). 

Attacks last between 4 and 72 hours and 

are often accompanied by one or more of 

the following: visual disturbances, nausea, 

vomiting, dizziness, extreme sensitivity to 

sound, light, touch and smell, and tingling 

or numbness in the extremities or face. 

While most people consider migraines 

to be solely the result of changes in bloodflow 

between the head and neck, modern 

imaging has shown that circulation is only 

part of the problem. Changes in the nerves 

in, and around the head and neck are also 

essential in understanding migraines. 

Migraines are neurovascular headaches. 

Neuro=nerves. Vascular=blood vessels. Migraines 

involve both. What is the connection? 

Using the latest in imaging technology, 

physics, and biomechanics, a unique technique 

has been developed to detect, and correct, 

changes to the head and neck responsible 

for altered brain function and circulation. 

a. Evaluation 

Migraine sufferers undergo a non- invasive 

evaluation. The evaluation is designed 

to understand your unique story, determine 

the presence of an ASC (Atlas Subluxation 

Complex), and create a 3D image of 

your head and neck. 

b. Report and Initial Correction 

The results are discussed, and calculations 

are performed to determine a custom 

correction of the junction between 

the head and neck.The correction is an 

extremely light and gentle adjustment that 

feels much like a doctor taking someone’s 

pulse on the side of the neck. The correction 

is so gentle, it is safely performed on 

infants and babies. Composite 3D digital X- 

rays are retaken to ensure a proper correction 

has been performed. The individual 

often does not feel a change immediately 

following the adjustment. 

c. Follow-up 

The individual often returns during an 

initial 12-week period to assess for proper 

correction, monitor tissue healing, and 

measure the progress of the symptoms. Unlike 

drugs and medications, the upper cervical 

technique does not treat or suppress 

the symptoms associated with migraines. 

The upper cervical procedure is designed 

to improve the biomechanics of the housing 

around the brain and spinal cord: the 

head and neck. The improved biomechanics 

often improves the adaptability of the 

brain and spinal cord, and individuals often 

show dramatic improvement in their 

symptoms. We have seen over 85% improvement 

in the frequency and severity 

of migraine symptoms with many patients 

through upper cervical care. The clinic also 

works with integrative professionals including 

Neuromuscular Dentists, Neuroopthamologists, 

and Craniosacral Therapists 

for more complicated migraine cases. 

If you have been suffering with migraines, 

taking medications, getting botox 

injections or missing work, take the first 

step and schedule a consultation.

Art for all Walks of Life 

Vatican Tattoo Studio 

By Nicol Jenkins 

{ 

The 

Photos by Melissa korman 

moment you step through the doors of Vatican Tattoo Studio, you 

are instantly in awe of the many paintings of intricate works of body art 

from Japanese tattoos to detailed portraits and simple yet bold flowers. 

From the tattoo aficionado to those in the 

service industry and the businessman to the 

college student, all walks of life are drawn 

to the laid back atmosphere of the Delray 

Beach tattoo studio and fine art gallery. 

Newly opened in the Pineapple Grove 

Art District, Vatican Tattoo showcases the 

talents of local experienced tattoo artists. 

The studio offers a relaxed beach shack 

vibe mixed with a modern gallery. ‘Enjoy 

yourself’ is the motto here at Vatican Tattoo. 

Similar to the tattoo shops of the old days, 

the studio has an open concept “barber 

shop feel” with four work stations next to 

each other where friends can get tattoos at 

the same time. The tattoo artists make you 

feel right at home and can create any tattoo 

you can think of, from portraits to Japanese 

art to simple designs, or mandala tattoos. 

Owner and artist Jeff Kozan, EV Talesman, and Dana Hauser 

Dana Hauser and Jeff Kozan hard at work on a few loyal clients 

You name it, they do it. They can also cover 

up and fix old tattoos! 

“Whether it’s a five minute tattoo or a tattoo 

on your entire body, we want to make 

everyone feel comfortable. Everyone that 

comes in has a good time and really likes the 

experience. We feel like a tattoo shop is supposed 

to be a place to escape; it’s a place for 

like minded people to not be judged and to 

enjoy yourself,” said the owner and Delray 

Beach resident Jeff Kozan. 

Jeff Kozan is an expert in the art of tattooing. 

For 15 years, he has been perfecting the craft, 

starting as an apprentice at Tatts Taylors, and 

then opened his first studio in Fort Lauderdale 

and now Vatican Tattoo in Delray Beach. 

“I started getting tattoos fairly young, and 

while in college I got an apprenticeship and 

I loved it. Not very many people are able to 

truly make a living being an artist. When 

you are creating an image for a tattoo, you 


EV Talesman creating another masterpiece 

really get to know someone; and I give 110 percent because I 

know it will be there forever,” said Jeff. 

Many of the people who walk through the door have become 

good friends with the owner and the other tattoo artists. 

“We build a strong relationship with our clientele. Our clients 

become our friends,” added Jeff. 

His reputation is well known for being a true professional and 

an expert in the field. His staff of tattoo artists has many years 

of experience and impressive portfolios. Dana Hauser focuses 

on portraits and realistic paintings. EV Talesman’s style is more 

traditional with strong color and bold outlines. While Ben Abernethy’s 

tattoos are more of a traditional American style. The 

current trends in tattooing range from the mandala tattoos to 

tattooing on the ribs, yet Japanese and American traditional tattoos 

have always remained timeless. 

“We each have our own personal style. No matter what comes 

in the door, we can take it. We offer very well rounded tattooing. 

I learned that it’s important to be able to master everything,” said 

the owner. 

Many would agree that Jeff and his expert artists are truly 

masters of their trade. 

“The first thing you think when seeing the work being done 

here is art. The next is I want a tattoo of that caliber with me forever. 

These people are brilliant, and you can’t go wrong presenting 

your precious canvas to their masterful hands. They don’t 

just do tattoos; they do body art. If however you just want art 

you can hang, guess what, it’s also an art gallery, so check it out. 

This is such a great addition to Downtown Delray and especially 

The Grove,” stated Johann Beukes. 

Another happy client, Steven Kessell added, “Amazing shop, 

clean with welcoming atmosphere! Artists are incredibly talented 

and very friendly. Jeff Kozan has done my last six tattoos and 

they are all phenomenal. I now live in Michigan and still fly down 

to get my work done here. It’s that good.” 

“This place is awesome! Clean and friendly with a talented and 

knowledgeable staff. Lots of amazing art on the walls even if you’re 

not into tattoos, it’s a must visit when in Delray,” said Niki Cole. 

Just like the writing on their walls, “There is no friend as loyal 

as a tattoo!”

Holidays 

for July 

...Some serious, some not-so-serious! 

By lisa marie 

July 1 

Canada Day where Canada celebrates 

its independence from Britain on July 1, 

1867. It was on this day that Queen Victoria 

of Great Britain proclaimed the 

Confederation of Canada’s founding 

provinces. It was originally called 

Dominion Day but in 1983 it was 

renamed Canada Day and made 

an official holiday. 

July 4 

Independence Day celebrates 

the birthday 

of United States 

of America 

when on July 

4, 1776 the 

Declaration 

of Independence 

was 

signed. Commemorating 

and 

remembering 

the sacrifices of our forefathers who 

gave us independence from Great Britain. 

The holiday is also referred to as Fourth of 

July, named after the date on which it is celebrated 

each year. This year celebrating its 

241st birthday! 

July 16 

National Ice Cream Day 

is dedicated to enjoying 

ice cream. On 

July 9, 1984, President 

Ronald Reagan 

proclaimed July as 

the National Ice Cream 

Month and July 15 as the 

National Ice Cream Day. At 

the time, the holiday was supposed 

to be only celebrated 

once - on July 15, 1984. The 

ice cream industry, however, 

decided to continue the tradition 

every year since. This 

holiday is now celebrated on 

the third Sunday of July. 


July 18 

Nelson Mandela 

Day was named by 

the United Nations 

and Nelson Mandela 

Foundation in 2009 

to recognize the impact 

of Mandela’s 

efforts 

and 

values in ending apartheid in South Africa. 

Mandela, who spent thirty years in prison 

for his political activism became the first 

black president of the Republic of South Africa 

in 1994. 

This day is celebrated on July 18th, Mandela’s 

birthday. Mandela passed away in December 

of 2013 at the age of 95. 

July 19 

National Hot Dog Day is all about the appreciation 

of hotdogs. It began on Capitol Hill in 

1991, where a hot dog luncheon was served. 

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council 

designated July as National Hot Dog Month 

and its date varies based on when the North 

American Meat Institute hosts its annual hot 

dog lunch on Capitol Hill. It is also believed 

that a German immigrant who owned the St. 

Louis Browns began to sell hot dogs at the 

games. From then on hot dogs have become a 

part of American baseball culture. 

July 23 

Parents’ Day celebrates and recognizesthe 

role of parents in the rearing of children, 

the important role of responsible parenting 

in every day family life. 

Parents’ Day originated in South Korea 

was established in United States of America 

by President Bill Clinton, where he signed a 

congressional resolution to commemorate 

Parents’ Day in 

1994. Parents’ Day 

is held annually on 

the fourth Sunday 

in July. 

July 24 

National Tequila Day is committed to appreciating 

Tequila, which is made from the 

blue agave plant which grows in the rich 

soil of Jalisco, Mexico at altitudes of almost 

5,000 ft. 

Tequila can be credited to the Aztecs 

who made a drink by fermenting the 

agave plant in the 16th century. True 

tequila wasn’t created until about the 

seventeenth century when the first license 

was granted to the Cuervo family. 

It seems that National Tequila Day began 

to emerge around the late 1990s. This 

holiday is celebrated every year on July 24. 

July 29 

National Lasagna Day is a day to really 

appreciate lasagna. The ingredients for 

this dish include layers of flat-shaped pasta, 

cheese, sauce and often beef, spinach 

or seafood. Believed to have originated in 

Naples, Italy, rumors have indicated that it 

may have come from the Greeks or the British. 

National Lasagna Day is observed on 

July 29th of every year. 

July 30 

International Friendship Day is a day intended 

to build friendships and bridge the 

gaps between race, color, religion and other 

factors which keep humans from enjoying 

friendship with one another. Initiated by 

the United Nations in 2011, they wanted 

a day for us to inspire our youngsters, 

our future leaders to understand 

the importance of friendship between 

people, countries, race and 

cultures, and an understanding and 

respect for diversity. 

International Friendship Day was initially 

observed on July 30th, but now celebrated 

on the first Sunday of August. 

July 30 

National Cheesecake Day is a day to appreciate 

cheesecake dessert. Believed to 

have originated in ancient Greece using 

basic ingredients such as cheese, flour 

and honey. With the introduction of eggs 

and baking times, cheesecakes have taken 

on a whole new concept. Whether baked 

or chilled, having a variety of fruits or fillings, 

cheesecakes have become a restaurant 

and bakery staple around the world. This 

scrumptious national 

holiday occurs every 

year on July 

30th.

STITCHES BY THE SEA 

Needlepoint…. Yoga For The Mind TM 

By Diane feen 

photos by melissa korman 

{It’s Friday at 3:00 and Stitches by the Sea is buzzing as if it’s Christmas. 

Lynne Dorsey is standing near the door and needle pointer Lisa Kalish 

has come to wish owner Judi Alweil a Happy Birthday. 

“When I visit my mother I always come 

here. This is my home away from home. It’s 

warm and inviting and you never hear the 

word ‘no.’ They’re so accommodating,” said 

Kalish. 

That’s the way it is at Stitches by the Sea. 

Everyone comes to enjoy the creative expression 

of needlepoint, but the secondary 

perk is as uplifting as the finished product. 

“I’ve been needlepointing for the past 52 

years and I’ve been coming here since they 

opened,” said Dorsey, who is one of the most 

vocal cheerleaders of Stitches by the Sea. 

Dorsey considered needlepointing a lost 

art until recently. But her enthusiasm for the 

craft never waned. “Up until recently not a lot 


Owner Judi bustling with needlepointers in studio 

of people were doing needlepoint, but now 

younger people are getting into it. Needlepointing 

has changed, it’s not your grandmothers 

needlepoint. One reason is because 

you can choose from textured threads, ribbons, 

and assorted decorative stitches.” 

When it comes to safe ports in the storm, 

Stitches by the Sea is the most amiable and 

admirable. They greet customers like old 

friends (which many are) and they go out 

of their way to find canvases that fill their 

customers most coveted wish list. 

Cheryl Cohen is one of the benefactors. 

The retired New Yorker, who lives in South 

Florida, is obsessed with musical legends 

Prince and Michael Jackson. That’s why she 

turned to Judi and her daughter Karen Helfman 

to make her decorative dream come 

true. They had an artist create a custom 

painted canvas with the likeness of Prince 

and Michael Jackson. Cohen needlepointed 

the canvases that now hang on her living 

room wall. She also carries a tote with 

Prince and Jackson’s pictures needlepointed 

in the center. 

One of their most prolific needlepoint customers, 

Debra sends her daughter Alyssa (a 

law school student) needlepoint canvases and 

fibers to New York. Not only does the daughter 

enjoy stitching, but her grandmother and 

mother join her in this creative pursuit. 

If you ask Dorsey why she gravitates to 

Stitches by the Sea she’ll tell you. “When I 

walk through this store my mood is immediately 

uplifted. These are my sisters, it’s a true 

neighborhood store with heart. If they don’t 

have what I want they will readily order it for 

me. Not a lot of stores will do that for you.” 

Dorsey is right. There aren’t a lot of stores 

as personal and pampering as Stitches by 

the Sea. There are even fewer who would 

order lunch for a customer not feeling well 

(this happened to Dorsey). 

Family owned and run business Dick with Redi, Judi, & Karen

Debra and Karen working on her new Tess & Thorn 

What makes everyone turn to this emporium 

of rich colors and psychedelic dreams 

is their ability to embellish a canvas with fibers 

of varying texture and yarns. Not only 

that, the designer canvases are true works 

of art. Judi and Karen design some canvases 

that are colorful tropical scenes, dogs and 

cat, whimsical characters and other compelling 

ethereal pictures to make tote bags, 

purses, wall art or pillows. 

There are dozens of ways to make needlepoint 

fit your lifestyle and décor needs. Just 

recently head needlepoint czar Carole Piccininni 

fell in love with a needlepoint handbag. 

While she was stitching away in the 

store others were drawn to the idea and are 

now making artful handbags or satchels in 

varying sizes and styles. 

They also introduced rattan straw bags 

with colorful ribbon trim and needlepoint 

design in the center. You can choose between 

hundreds of colors and fibers ranging 

from straw silk, wool and silk, cotton, 

metallic, and hand-dyed fibers. If you buy 

a canvas the folks at Stitches by the Sea 

will teach you how to make the creation 

of your dreams. 

“The business has changed a lot in the 

last year. Our clients are younger and the 

designers are creating whimsical canvases 

that appeal to millennials,” said Daughterin-Chief 

Karen. 

Karen helped create their Instagram pages 

that are filled with colorful canvases to 

decorate walls, sofas or your torso. Upbeat 

sayings abound like “Nap Queen” “Inhale 

Exhale,” “love” or pictures of your beloved 

pets. There’s even a colorful psychedelic VW 

Bus and dramatic fashionistas in full accessory 

garb. 

If you want to bring in your youngsters 

Karen will teach them how to needlepoint. 

Stitches by the Sea is truly a family affair. Judi’s 

husband Dick, a retired aerospace engineer, 

can be found stitching, working or smiling 

behind the front desk most days as well. 

Carole creating 

There are zebras, roaring twenties, Haitian 

homelands, beach scenes, pink flamingos 

and cute kitty canvases to choose from. 

But what goes above and beyond the shelves 

of yarns, canvases and finished needlepoint 

products (3-D animals, handbags, wall 

hangings and eye glass cases) is the pure 

pleasure everyone gets from being there. 

“Coming here is a form of bonding. Our 

customers become our friends. They’re 

more than just customers, they are people 

we really care about,” adds Karen.

Meditation for 

Busy People 

By john davis, lmhc 

{A Break for My Brain 

I’m often surprised at the level of self-care and re-nourishment I’ve come 

to need. A heavy patient load and a great family (Thank You God) are more 

than enough some days to wring me out like a rag if I’m not careful. So 

here’s a long time habit I’ve relied on. Mind-LESS-ness. I know that “mind- 

FULL-ness” is all the rage. Right up there with meditation and yoga. 

But this practice, while based on those ancient traditions is far simpler. 

Effortless 

It’s so simple you’ll be amazed. You don’t 

have to go to the gym. It’s restful beyond belief. 

Requires no tools, special equipment 

nor expensive courses or training. Can be 

done anywhere, anytime. And recent research, 

for example at UMASS on Mindfulness 

Based Stress Reduction, suggests practicing 

like this improves both our mental 

and physical health. You be the judge. 

Where is Anywhere 

My favorite way to accomplish mind- 

LESS-ness is by darkening my office, setting 

my iPhone timer for 20 minutes and 

turning on the ceiling fan. I then kick all 

the way back in my chair (yes, it’s a recliner) 

and allow my thoughts to vanish. And 

when they do, my body finds the deepest, 

most restful places I’ve ever experienced. 

I sometimes fall asleep. I usually fall into 

the “twilight” of a kind of “self-hypnosis.” I 

always recover “ultra-refreshed.” 

Starting out takes a little practice. Shutting 

down our thoughts, even briefly, is 

something of a “counter-intuitive” move, as 

our busy, multi-tasking lifestyles are highly 

rewarded. Our minds are quite turbulent, 

mostly looking ahead or behind us. Rarely 

fully present. 

Be Sensible 

Here’s a key from the ancient Hindus: 

Come to Your Senses. Literally. The secret 

is allow our bodies to relax enough to begin 

re-focusing our mind onto “present centered 

modalities.” Starting with our breath, 


we can practice bringing ourselves fully 

into the present moment without judgment. 

I love the relief that comes from closing 

my eyes and leaving the lighted world 

behind. I become aware of my breathing. 

I sense the cool fabric supporting me. I 

hear gentle sounds of fans stirring the air. 

I smell the rich leather beneath me. In my 

experience, it only takes focusing on two of 

these “present sense modalities” at once to 

completely shut down one’s thinking. And 

then “sail away.”

special feature ║ PRICE FLOORING 

Not Just Floors – Creating Home Environments 

PRICE FLOORING 

{By Diane feen 


Good things often come in small packages. Not to say that Price 

Flooring is small by any means. But their selection of flooring, kitchen 

and bath and decorative adornment make their offerings large indeed. 

“Often people who come in the store are 

overwhelmed by our product selection and 

staff. We may look like a small store from the 

outside but inside we have a very large assortment 

of products to choose from,” said Nicole 

Price, the new bride of founder Ray Price. 

Nicole is right. There isn’t much in the way 

of flooring that Price Flooring doesn’t offer. 

There are soft surfaces (carpets) or hard surfaces 

such as porcelain tile, simulated wood 

vinyl, laminate and wood surfaces. 

They also offer designer textured tiles with 

sleek momentum that can be used throughout 

the house or in bathrooms (for flooring, 

walls, showers or backsplashes). Often these 

designer-inspired tiles come in glossy finishes 

to match the textured ones so you can 

mix and match the color and design to create 

a panorama of visual acuity. 

But truth be told the real story is that 

no-nonsense flooring has come to fruition 

with the guts and glory of upscale precious 

materials. 

In simple terms, it’s called waterproof 

flooring. But in fashion terms these planks 

carry with them a panache usually seen in designer 

fields at play. The newest water-proof 

vinyl floors are simply beautiful. Earthy in 

constructive reality, they lack the high maintenance 

of real wood, but carry with them a 

texture and visual field of authenticity. 

There are assorted brands to choose from, 

but they all have one thing in common – easy 

maintenance and installation. For starters 

you don’t need grout, they are floating floors 

with sound reduction (perfect for condo living) 

and are pet and child-proof. Need you 

ask for more? 

Other perks of these glamourous vinyl 

floor planks are that the installation is quick, 

there are matching thresholds and stair nose 

moldings, the maintenance is much lower and 

you don’t have to worry about scratching. 

And that’s a big deal for many a homeowner. 

“Once someone goes through a flood and 


peter price: let’s make a deal 

nicole price gives her personal touch 

experiences floor failure they come in and 

ask for waterproof flooring. They don’t want 

to have to deal with this again – they want a 

forever floor,” said Nicole. 

Often this happens when the washer leaks 

or the AC goes on the fritz when you’re visiting 

your kids in New Jersey. That’s why floor 

manufacturers are keeping up with the simplistic 

reality of everyday life. They want to 

meet consumers where they live and offer 

them what they want – the best product at 

the best prices. Another good thing about 

these waterproof wood-inspired floors is 

that they’re perfect for rental properties 

(where wear-and-tear can take away your 

return on investment). 

The vinyl waterproof floors come in all colors 

and textures, varying size planks and are 

Green Guard Certified. That means they are 

good for your lifestyle and the environment. 

The other new designer twist to a familiar 

theme are wood plank porcelain tiles. These 

tiles imitate luxurious wood stains without 

the high price or maintenance. “Because we 

are such large importers of tiles we carry a 

full selection of Italian porcelain inventory 

in stock ready to go. We have different sized 

planks in varying widths as well.” 

When asked about the design viability 

of these waterproof porcelain wood 

planks Nicole is quick to answer. “What’s 

so great about these tiles is that they go 

with a contemporary home, traditional or 

rustic country theme. You can create any 

look you want.” 

The waterproof wood porcelain tiles 

are perfect for bathrooms where they can 

be adorned by mosaic glass (or decorative 

stone) that match the theme and color. If 

you’re looking for a spa feel you’ll find it easily 

with this designer waterproof flooring. 

On the softer side are waterproof carpets 

(or area rugs) that are kid and pet friendly 

and have a marine backing that liquid cannot 

penetrate. The LifeGuard backing also reduces 

odors, including those from pets. 

Nicole and Ray want you to know that if 

choosing the right flooring, bathroom, kitchen 

or shower tile confuses you – don’t despair. 

They have designers to help you navigate this 

terrain with ease. They will walk you through 

the process gently (with expertise) so that 

you achieve the look that pleases you. 

The other good news is their Price Busters, 

that are sales on assorted products. “We are 

huge tile importers and are always running 

inventory sales. These products are in-stock 

and ready to go,” said Ray. 

Price Flooring also has a great selection 

of outdoor tile flooring with texture and 

taste. You can redo the floor of your patio, 

front entry way, balcony or any outdoor space. 

They also know that finding good contractors 

is not an easy task. That’s why Ray started 

a Kitchen and Bath department. There you 

can pick out a bathroom vanity and floor for 

your bathroom and have it installed by one 

of their licensed and insured installers. They 

also have a full kitchen area with cabinets in 

stately styles (in all wood) and colors with 

matching counter-tops in granite, marble or 

quartz. “We are doing a lot of kitchens from 

start to finish. We help you select the products 

and design the layout for you,” said Nicole. 

Ray (and the team at Price Flooring) invite 

you to enter the world of alluring surfaces that 

go from the top of your house to the bottom. 

They will help you with selection, arrange 

their installers to complete the job and make 

sure you get the color, texture and product 

you want. 

“From product selection to professional installation 

we can put a package together that 

gives you the best deal. We do what we can 

for you because we’re a family business.”

Cameraderie And Comfort 

PURO’S CIGAR SHOP 

By diane feen 


A few blocks from the beach is a small cigar shop with a big personality. 

Locals and tourists gravitate there to share their love of cigars and bond 

{over intimate conversations that span the sphere of relevance. 

Their formal name is Puro’s Cigars but to 

those who enjoy the friendly vibe and premier 

cigars, it’s more like a home away from home. 

Customers sit in front of the store under 

umbrellas and savor premier cigars and 

premier conversation. The secondary thrill 

is one of friendship, camaraderie and kinship. 

These ethereal qualities may sound 

simplistic, but they mean a lot to cigar aficionados 

that frequent this downtown Delray 

cigar shop. 

Women often wonder how to get men to 

talk, but Puro’s has found the answer. This 

social element is a house brew that owners 

Lisbeth and Eduardo Garcia (and son Jesus) 

have patented. It’s part of the reason that 

this family-owned cigar store has thrived 

among fierce competition. 

“I come here because of the great people 

and the great selection of cigars. I would be 

here if they sold lollipops.” said Mike Wyman, 

who comes to Puro’s almost every day. 

Jesus Prieto 


group of Cigars Lovers having fun 

That’s part of the secret to Puro’s longevity 

– connectivity. And it’s not just to connect 

with Lisbeth and Eduardo, it’s to connect 

with each other and discuss what’s on their 

minds. Health experts agree that people 

who have close friendships (or connections 

with others) live longer and healthier lives. 

Frank, who comes three or four days a 

week, calls Puro’s God’s country. Bob Kirk 

calls it his living room. “I enjoy the teasing 

and discussions we have. It’s easy to talk to 

people here.” 

Not only is there a group that hangs out 

under the umbrellas during the day, but at 

night there’s solace, secrets and cigars as 

well. “I come here every day. They’re like 

family. They have good cigars and espresso 

and you can make new friends. Just recently 

I saw a someone I hadn’t seen in 50 years 

and we sat together and talked,” said Ed. 

Ed is just one of the loyal fans that gravitate 

to the Puro’s terrain through thick and 

thin – rain or shine. “It amazes me how competitive 

this business is yet Puro’s thrives 

among all the options available. Even when 

it’s raining people will sit under the umbrellas 

and smoke cigars and talk,” said Foundation 

Cigar Company Rep Alfredo. 

Foundation’s newest cigar – that Puro’s 

has – is The Tabernacle. Made in Nicaragua 

it has a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and 

comes in assorted sizes. They also have “El 

Güegüense” by Foundation. 

Other top-rated cigars available are Padron, 

Ashton, Montecristo, Arturo Fuente, My 

Father Cigars, Romeo y Julieta, Rocky Patel, 

Avo, Cohiba, the Illusione MK and more. 

The other big news at Puro’s is that Jesus 

will become the General Manager as of July 

4th. “I am excited to become a bigger part 

of my family’s business and look forward to 

seeing everyone more often.”

Jesus has an extensive knowledge of cigars 

and brings a new point of view to Puro’s. 

But they will continue to sell top-rated 

cigars. “We have many humidors filled with 

premium cigars. If you want a special cigar 

we can order it for you immediately,” said 

Lisbeth, the matriarch of the Puro’s domain. 

Eduardo is a steady presence in the Puro’s 

inner circle as well. He enjoys the company of 

his guests and is very grateful for the camaraderie 

and congruence of this local cigar shop. 

“I want to Thank all the snowbirds (and locals) 

who come to Puro’s and share the cigar experience 

with us. You are like part of our family.” 

Steve and Gary are also part of the Puro’s 

family. They sell cigars, cater to customers 

and enjoy the cameraderie that permeates 

the premises. “We are so happy that Steve 

Eduardo Enjoying a Cigar 

Alfredo Foundation Representative and Owners Eduardo, Lisbeth & Jesus 

and Gary are part of the Puro’s family. They 

help our customers with a smile and are 

good friends,” said Lisbeth. 

Speaking of family – the annual Puro’s 

Anniversary Party is coming up on Saturday, 

November 11th. This is the one night of the 

year when Puro’s treats guests to an evening 

of food, festivities and fun. 

As Cigar Rep Alfredo says – “Puro’s customers 

are fiercely loyal and love Lisbeth, Eduardo 

and Jesus. They also make the best espresso.” 

On July 4th Puro’s will be open all day. 

They’re also offering discounts on boxes of 

cigars and accessories. “Our customers have 

a wonderful time watching people go to the 

beach for the fireworks on July 4th. They 

smoke a cigar while watching all the action.” 

If there’s an ingredient to success it is 

packaged beautifully at Puro’s. Come and 

see for yourself!

Sunday State Style 

by Shannon Sipperley 


{ 

You never know what you will find when you start your week and then there it is 

laying somewhere around a case of the Mondays and a late night Saturday night 

out...you’ve found it, Sunday. The all mighty beloved SUNDAY FUNDAY! 

It’s that day that can be spent eating 

brunch with the girls, hanging pool side 

with the family, cheering on your favorite 

football team,basking in the glow of the 

sun and surf, getting Zen at your favorite 

yoga studio, or hanging on the couch with 

your remote. 

In short, Sundays are sacred and your 

Sunday State of Mind can transport you to 

many different places. So who are you on 

any given Sunday? The Fashionista, the 

Yogi Warrior, the Denim Dynamo, the Boho 

Beach Babe, the Proper Prep, the effortlessly 

Cool Chick, or just the overall IT girl. 

The best thing about it is that you don’t 


have to choose! You have so many Sundays 

to be ALL of these women. You never have 

to be put in a box: dress for your mood, 

the day, the date, the event, but be sure to 

always dress for yourself. 

My husband and I own an advertising 

agency and I was doing a pitch and blurted 

out, “It’s what you do in your Sunday State 

of Mind.” A few phone calls later, the Sunday 

State of Mind wholesale company was 

born. We worked the trade show circuit 

on the West Coast and had much success 

with where it all began, the lounge wear 

and athletic leisure lines. 

I have always loved fashion and dressing 

my friends, so when the opportunity 

was presented to do a women’s day of fun 

and fashion, I jumped at the chance. Then, 

I spent the next few weeks guessing sizes 

and bringing clothes to women as they 

wanted to know where my store was. The 

next step of opening a retail location was 

just the natural progression. 

I never set out to open a store, it was

special feature ║ Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce 

We’ve Got “it” 

BY Kimberly Bentkover 

{ 

As a member-driven 

organization, the 

Greater Delray Beach 

Chamber of Commerce 

is constantly looking to 

grow membership. 

The more businesses and Friends of 

the Chamber that join, the stronger we 

become so that our team is able to have 

a diverse database of businesses to refer 

to, leaders to learn from, connectors 

to share with, and awareness of who is 

in our community. Those who decide to 

become members do so for a plethora of 

reasons – from marketing opportunities, 

networking, and referral groups to educational 

classes, leadership training, or 

just to make friends, our 1,000 members 

all support our mission. We’ve Got “it” - 

and are here to strengthen and advocate 

for the business interests of Delray Beach. 

Meet a couple of our new members 

who get “it”. To learn more about “it” go 

to www.delraybeach.com or contact Kim 

Bentkover kim@delraybeach.com to become 

part of “it”. 

Kellie Ames: Owner, Mantra 

www.mantraactive.com 

I try to go to as many events as I can 

– especially the YPAD events, because I 

love to meet new and like-minded members 

that I can collaborate with. In meeting 

other Chamber members, I have been 

able to create opportunities to work together 

and brainstorm on ways we can 

help each other in our respective businesses. 

Having an e-commerce site rather 

than a physical store to visit can make 

things tough when getting started, but the 

Delray community is so inclusive, and I 

have found there are so many opportunities 

within our little town.

Since joining the Chamber I have joined 

a Leads Group, been to several YPAD 

events, networked at Contacts & Cocktails 

and attended several Grand Openings. 

My membership has already been beneficial 

on both a personal and professional 

level. I’ve made new business contacts, 

new friends and as a relatively new transplant 

to Delray have really started to feel 

that I am a part of my local community all 

thanks to my Chamber membership.

City People 

Police Captain Of The People 

RACHEL SAUNDERS 

By Diane Feen 

{ 

Photo by melissa korman 

Rachel Saunders believes in destiny. When faced with 

a challenge she sees possibilities, when life throws 

her a curve ball she enlarges her hand to catch it. 

That’s the way it’s always been with this coal miner’s 

daughter. Raised in the small town of Pineville, 

West Virginia, Saunders was primed for greatness. 

Her mother Melissa was a nurse and extolled the 

virtues of education, her father Ralph (who labored 

in the coal mines for 30 years) taught his daughter 

about kindness and compassion. “My father’s work 

ethic was second to none.” 

Captain Saunders imbibed these virtues and set 

out to find her own path toward fulfillment. Though 

she was a star basketball player in high school 

she wandered off the athletic field into the world 

at large. She left FAU (where she was awarded a 

basketball scholarship) and began working at UPS 

unloading packages. Though it sounds menial, this 

former basketball champ saw it as a step toward 

nirvana. “I loved that job. I got paid to work out.” 

After working at UPS from 5 to 8 am Saunders 

headed over to her day job at an insurance agency 

in Boca Raton. After that she worked in security at 

the Polo Club for Wackenhut. 

But as the wind blows in different directions on 

different locales, so did the ideas and ideals of this 

adventurous small-town gal. “I went into the Army 

Reserves and did basic training at Ft. Jackson, South 

Carolina. The military was a stepping stone to getting 

into the police force,” said the holder of two 

state records in West Virginia basketball history. 

Because she was adventurous and independent 

Saunders wanted to see what life would be like outside 

Pineville (population currently 668). That’s 

why she signed up for the police academy at Palm 

Beach Community College. Saunders was not only 

the class leader but she was recruited by the Delray 

Beach Police Department. “I was making $13.26 an 

hour and thought I was rich,” said the Defensive Tactics 

Physical Fitness Award winner. 

A lot has happened since those early days. Saunders 

is a 22-year veteran of the Delray Police Force 

and is now a captain. When she was on the SWAT 

Team she was the only woman at the time (from 

1997 to 2003). “No one ever treated me differently 

because I was a woman, I just went out and did my 

job the same as the men did.” 

She sure did. She started out as a community patrol 

officer, then a SWAT Team member, West Atlantic 

Task Force Officer, Investigative Division TACT 

Team officer, Community Patrol Sergeant and nine 

other positions in the Delray police force. 

Despite the inherent danger of the job this thrill 

seeker saw the positives through the peep hole of 

reality. “I loved my job and I still love it. My favorite 

time was on the TACT and SWAT Team. We would 

drive around or hide under bushes or cars and 

watch drug deals. The midnight shift is where the 

action is. I just loved the people I worked with.” 

Saunders (and her team members) often helped 

those who were arrested by bringing Christmas 

gifts to their families. “We arrested a lot of people 

but we treated them with respect and compassion.” 

If what goes around comes around then Saunders 

has received the same respect from those in 

her orbit. She has a binder filled with awards and 

testimonials from those whose lives have been 

miraculously affected by her bravery and commitment 

to excellence. “Officer Saunders went above 

and beyond the call of duty in responding quickly 

to a bad domestic situation I was in. She was calm, 

factual, professional and followed up the next day 

and saw it to conclusion. She made me believe that 

no matter what people say about the police, there 

are shining examples of excellence, caring and 

commitment.” 

Not only is Captain Saunders a positive force for 

good in the community, but she has compassion for 

those who walk beside her. Assistant Chief Mary Olsen 

has seen it firsthand. 

“What makes Captain Saunders special is her 

sense of urgency to make her officers perform at the 

highest level possible. She truly cares about them 

80 


and how they are progressing through 

their careers. Everyone who works with 

Captain Saunders knows she’s passionate 

about the policing profession and her 

people. We are incredibly blessed to have 

someone like her impacting the largest 

group of officers in the department.” 

There are 101 to be exact. But Captain 

Saunders rises to every challenge with a 

smile on her face. Where there are gaps 

in the structure she builds a safety zone. 

One example is when she co-founded a 

Rape Aggression Self Defense Program 

(that still exists). Her awards are too numerous 

to mention and her ascent toward 

the top of the Police Force hierarchy is 

duly impressive. 

But that was her goal and focus from the 

beginning. “I had the best upbringing. My 

dad (Ralph) always helped those less fortunate 

and when he was laid off he would 

sell his coins and never complain. He just 

did what he had to do to take care of us.” 

Captain Saunders is a chip off the old 

block. She helps those less fortunate and 

lives up to her police force responsibilities 

with a polished sense of purpose and 

poise. Everyone who meets her is amazed 

at her commitment to others and to the 

city of Delray Beach. 

“I met Rachel when she joined the force. 

I was a single woman who purchased a 

home in not such a great part of town. She 

and her partners continually checked on 

me to make sure all was okay in my community. 

Rachel has a passion for what she 

does, she loves our community and always 

has the pulse for what’s going on,” said 

Nancy Stewart-Franczak.

Food To Thrill The Senses 

HOUSE OF SIAM 

Dynamite 

By Diane Feen 

Photos by melissa korman 

{Just because there’s a travel ban doesn’t mean you can’t traverse the 

culinary globe. If you want to eat sushi, there’s no need to fly to Japan, 

if you want authtentic Thai food you don’t have to jet off to Thailand. 

That’s because House of Siam has perfected 

the recipes for sushi and Thai dishes 

that will make you sing with delight. Their 

longevity speaks volumes to those who understand 

what homemade Thai food should 

taste like. And we all know that the best 

food is made in the chef’s kitchen. 

The Chefs at this local haunt are owners, 

Pian and Patrick. They’re not only from 

Thailand but they preside over their inner 

culinary sanctum with pride. Each dish is 

prepared with delicacy and authenticity 

catching the flavors with a mist of distinction. 

The reason is simply that the ingrediants 

are fresh (the herbs are home-grown 

in front) and the recipes are passed down 

from the ages. The Chicken with Peanut 

Sauce is pure pleasure with a thick tasty 

sauce, planks of chicken and carrots, broccoli 

and pea pods. 

Fish Ginger 

90 


This stir fry dish can also be made with 

beef, pork, tofu or shrimp. As a devotee 

of the vegetable stir fry with tofu, I can 

honestly say that the Chicken with Peanut 

sauce is equally as terrific. There’s just 

enough sauce to make it savory and saucy 

but not too much that it overpowers the 

chicken and fresh vegetables. 

Another dish with star power is from 

the Sushi menu. Though Sushi is the second 

incarnation for this 18 year-old restaruant 

it is a wonderful additon to their 

superb Thai dishes. The best sushi roll on 

the planet is their Tuna Fuji Roll with fresh 

Yellow Fin Tuna, Tamago and avocado on 

the inside topped with masago. This sushi 

roll is so good you’ll find yourself humming 

with delight. We guarantee it. 

So does Talitha from The Netherlands. 

“The Food at House of Siam is excellent 

authentic Thai food! The sushi presentation 

and taste is excellent as well. We always 

come here when we’re in Delray. It’s 

a great place for lunch or dinner!” 

Talitha is right. House of Siam is a wonderful 

place to enjoy lunch or dinner. And 

while you’re there make sure you try their 

Tofu Cashew entrée. The tofu is lightly 

fried in a wonderful tasty sweet sauce 

with cashews, red peppers, carrots and 

zucchini. The texture and temperament of 

this Thai favorite is perfect for those who 

love Thai food that is savory and tasty 

without being overly spicy. 

Other diners agree. “Hands down, my 

favorite Thai restaurant in South Florida. 

Great staff, friendly owner, and you MUST 

order the curry in a cut-out pineapple. It’s 

so simple, but adds so much taste!” 

If you’re looking for a fish dish with a 

taste of Thailand try their Fish with ginger 

and scallions. This healthy entrée is superb. 

Made with fresh Tilapia and served 

whole in a ginger sauce with fresh zucchini 

and carrots it was delightful. 

Richard Keeperman – a House of Siam 

first timer – was super psyched about the 

food at this Pineapple Grove Thai- Sushi 

Restaurant. “I absolutely loved the Tuna 

Sushi Roll, it was spectacular. I also had 

Tofu with Cashews and it was delicious. I 

rarely eat tofu, but I loved it. I go to restaurants 

to eat, not to be seen. I am definitely 

going back to House of Siam,” said the Real 

Estate Agent. 

Dining at House of Siam is often a repetitive 

reflex. Many of their customers 

eat there so often they become like family. 

And, it’s often the case that newcomers 

Fuji Sushi 

Tofu Cashew nut 

Chicken with Peanut Sauce 

become so enamored with the place that 

they become regulars as well. 

And it’s easy to see why. Where else 

can you get food that is made to order 

with fresh ingredients that are tasty and 

healthy? That’s one reason that Vegetarians 

love dining here. There are Fresh 

Rolls (with sliced cucumber, carrots, 

rice noodles, lettuce and bean sprouts) 

wrapped in rice paper with ginger dressing. 

Or a vegetarian Hand Roll, Vegan Sushi 

Combos, Vegetable Pad Thai or Vegetable 

Soy Sauce Noodles with broccoli and 

carrots in a savory sauce. 

The chicken and shrimp dumplings 

with a sweet soy sauce are also a special 

treat. Try one and you’ll find yourself 

begging for more. You could say they are 

addictive (in a good way of course). We 

also love their House Sizzlers. This tasty 

dish comes sizzling hot to your table with 

diced cucumbers, onions, red bell pepper 

and cashew nuts - all stir fried over fresh 

cooked spinach. It’s topped with a delicious 

peanut sauce with either Chicken, 

Beef, Pork or Tofu. 

There are dozens of amazing dishes to 

choose from at House of Siam. Some people 

love the Eggplant Basil, others can’t 

walk by the front door without feasting 

on Coconut Curry. It comes with a choice 

of meat or seafood, and is cooked with 

mixed vegetables, Thai curry paste and 

fresh basil. 

We love House of Siam and are smitten 

with their “can do” attitude. The dishes 

are a cacophony of flavors in sauces that 

measure up to the best restaurants in 

town. What you see is what you get – and 

more. If you are adventurous in your culinary 

experience, let Pian and Patrick take 

you on a magical mystical foodie adventure. 

You’ll be glad you did.

WHY DO OUR PETS GET ALLERGIES? 

A 

s we take more control and responsibility 

for our pets’ health and wellbeing, 

we need to improve our understanding 

of what optimal health means. This 

not only includes knowing about species 

appropriate diets, safe products and proper 

handling but also understanding what medications, 

insecticides and vaccines do and 

how they work. It also means that we should 

learn the medical terminology. 

Keeping this in mind, let us look at allergies 

and determine what an allergic response 

is. Allergies are not a natural occurrence but 

rather a natural response upon exposure to 

something the body needs to reject. In other 

words, it is a biochemical detoxification of 

that foreign intruder. The body is simply 

trying to remove the intruder and yet modern 

medicine approaches it by attacking the 

symptom rather than the cause. 

We hear from the veterinary field that 

our pets have allergies to anything from 

pollen, grasses and plants to various foods, 

meats and herbs. You rarely hear of an allergic 

reaction from a drug, vaccine, insecticide, 

chemical, cleaner, deodorizer, or other 

household or yard products. Which do you 

think the body is going to fight back against, 

natural, synthetic or man-created products? 

The typical approach in allopathic or conventional 

medicine is to use steroids, antibiotics, 

antihistamines and other drugs to 

suppress the symptoms. These products do 

nothing more than push the external symptom 

deeper into the body without allowing 

the body to expel the foreign properties. 

Thus, the body is actually fighting multiple 

battles which include trying to free itself 

from the allergen, ridding toxins from the 

drugs that have been administered and expending 

energy to heal itself. 

When we observe the chemical and toxic 

exposure to our pets today, we see hundreds 

of toxic chemicals in their standard pet food 

diets, preventive drugs, vaccines administered; 

along with environmental exposure to 

household, lawn and air pollutants toxins. Is it 

any wonder that what we call “allergy symptoms” 

such as scratching and itching, rashes, 

hotspots, tear staining, coughing, sneezing, 

paw licking, ear infections, anal gland issues 

and many more occur? Along with that, factor 

in the drugs they use for treatment with 

their toxic side-effects, it proves how durable 

and strong the natural body is. 

Truly, there is a simple answer right before 

our eyes as to why our pets have “allergies.” 

At the end of any day, a body’s condition 

is only as good as what we do to provide 

the healthy nutrition and balance within 

the body. From the macro diet of animal 

products such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs 

and other animal source foods to the micro 

nutrients provided by herbs, botanicals 

and other micro sources, these components 

are what ultimately balance the body and 

eliminate any form of allergy through the 

natural process. 

Allergy symptoms are natural events that 

our pets and even ourselves acquire, whether 

in a natural cycle or induced. If we simply 

feed the body what it requires, clean and detoxify 

in a natural way and balance through 

rotational nutrients, we will have healthy 

pets. Open your eyes to what is being put 

into your cute, furry and fuzzy family member 

and then you will suddenly understand.
