from the 

editor 

Hey 2020! 

We are ready!!! 

Usually I hear people say, “this is the year that I…,” 

or “this year my resolution is…,” but what I’ve been 

hearing lately from my friends and colleagues is more 

of a commitment to a decade versus a year. More 

people seem to be making long term goals – and it 

makes me wonder if it’s because this year ends in an 

even round number…Me, well, I don’t believe in resolutions (too easy 

to break), so I try to set goals for the year and see how that goes. 

This year Super Bowl LIV is hosted in Miami which is exciting! 

Along with the big game come big pre-game parties and events! Our 

City By The Sea is not to be left out! The 7th annual Delray Beach 

Fashion Week is January 29th through February 2nd and there are 

many events throughout the day and evening to keep you going – 

including a Super Bowl watch party! For more information read 

Delray Under $50 (some of the events are FREE!) and Locals Only. 

Reggie Dobard Sr. is our January City Person. Diane Feen calls him a 

‘Treasure’ and she couldn’t be more right…He was a teacher at Atlantic 

High School for 37 years, but even more importantly 

he has been caring for our community for over 

55 years!!! So much so that in 2017 we named 

the gym basketball court at Pompey Park after 

him. He is a mentor to everyone he meets. Read 

Reggie’s story, you’ll be glad you did – and you 

probably will want to meet him. 

Will you adopt a pet this year? Travel 

somewhere exotic? Or maybe try one of our 

recipes? Let us know! Send us an email at 

info@atlanticavemagazine, include a photo 

and a caption and you may find yourself in our 

next issue! We love to hear from our readers! 

Let yourself be 

drawn by the 

stronger pull of 

that which you 

truly love. It will 

not lead you 

astray. 

— Rumi

Above and Beyond Award- 

Winning Teachers Speak Out 

At Roots and Wings we frequently ask teachers at the 18 public 

schools we serve to let us know what it means to them 

to be honored with our Above and Beyond Award for dedicated 

educators. It is our pleasure to share some of their responses 

with you. 

“Teachers work so hard in 

our public schools and don’t 

get the credit they deserve. It 

is so refreshing that Roots and 

Wings is highlighting teachers 

who selflessly give of their own 

time and oftentimes their own 

funds to bring the curriculum 

to their students in a new and 

innovative way. Thank you for 

treating teachers as the professionals 

we are.” 

Rachel Bennett, Media 

Specialist, Boca Raton 

Elementary 

“I was recently presented 

this award in front of my students, 

colleagues and administration. 

It means so much to 

be recognized and the prizes in 

my award bag were AMAZING. 

It’s clear from the variety of 

gift cards that my community 

really does support teachers.” 

Shelly Saunders, NBCT, 

M. Ed., Banyan Creek 

Elementary School, 

Delray Beach 

“Jesus said, “The harvest 

is plentiful, but the laborers 

are few.” These words are the 

driving force behind my determination 

to cultivate success 

COPYRIGHTED 

in our students. I was blown 

away by the monetary gifts 

and tangible items in the bag 

and overjoyed that someone 

thought enough of me to sow 

seeds of encouragement for 

the work that God has blessed 

me to do.” 

Tarika Reiss, Science 

Coach, Carver Middle 

School, Delray Beach

The London Lounge 

BY Michael Miller 

Hi, my name is Michael Miller and for the last 7 years 

I have lived in West Palm Beach. I am originally 

from New York City and when I moved to Florida, I 

brought with me my experience and knowledge of the cigar 

industry. For me, Delray Beach has a vibrant, upbeat feel 

and that’s why I planted some roots here and opened my 

own cigar bar which I am very proud to call The London 

Lounge, inspired by my daughter London. Cigars have been 

a passion of mine for many years. When I first started 

smoking cigars in the 90s I realized that it is a lifestyle not 

a habit. I would love to introduce you to this lifestyle, so why 

not come by and see me at The London Lounge - I would be 

delighted to help you pick your cigar.

Delray Under $50 

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

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

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

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

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

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

The holidays are finally past us, and while we’re obviously recuperating, 

it’s also a great time to reboot. January is International 

Creativity Month and is a fantastic month to tap into 

your creative spirit (or lack thereof) and make something of it. If 

you’re not sure where to start the good people behind the 31st Annual 

Downtown Delray Beach Festival of the Arts have us covered. 

They are giving us the tools for success to either snag a creative item 

or indulge in the creative spirits to make crafty items ourselves. Either 

way, it’s a great win, win. Held Saturday, January 18 and Sunday, 

January 19 from 10am to 5pm, the juried art festival features handcrafted 

artwork such as glass, photography, painting, mixed media, 

fiber, jewelry and much more, from some of the most buzz-worthy 

names on the contemporary arts scene. The festival is held on East 

Atlantic Avenue from Federal Highway to A1A, so it’s also safe to 

say this might be one of the prettiest venues for an art festival in all 

the land. Visit www.artfestival.com or call (561) 746-6615 for more 

information and event details. 

New Year, New You. Well, if you’re into 

it. There’s no better way to welcome 

the New Year than by having fun on 

the daily, including your wardrobe. If you need 

some fashion assistance, look no further than 

the Seventh Annual Delray Beach Fashion Week. 

January is Self-Love Month and is a great time 

for some inner and outer reflection, and you can find 

(mostly) everything you’re looking for in your own 

backyard. Fashion Week is held Wednesday, January 

29 through Sunday, February 2 and is the best venue 

for being privy to the newest and best trends for 

2020. The exciting fashion shows and events include 

a Fashion Bowl “54” with a runway show 

event on Atlantic Avenue, a view of the winning 

collections of local designers during 

Art Couture All-Stars fashion show event at 

the Cornell Art Museum, the Halftime & High 


Heels Luncheon and Fashion Show featuring resort wear, the Old 

School Super Pep Rally for pop-up football and swimwear fashion 

and fun, Shop the Runway Blitz during the downtown retailers instore 

shopping events, and a Super Bowl LIV Sunday celebration 

held throughout downtown with shopping, brunch, and watch parties. 

Yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. The fashion show events are held 

throughout Downtown Delray Beach. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com 

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

Hot or iced, it’s all nice. 

January is National 

Hot Tea Month 

and even though us 

Floridians don’t get 

the chilly weather 

like our Northern 

neighbors; a steaming 

cup of hot tea is always 

a comforting treat. 

If you’re looking for a tas-tea 

and more elevated experience 

than your average tea packet from Publix, march right on over to 

Yaxche Tearoom, where they offer Goodwater, good teas, good coffees, 

good food, good gifts and good vibes. (Yes, it all is really that 

good.) Yaxche is the ultimate tea emporium because you can choose 

from more than 100 different types of teas from all over the world, 

so your options are almost endless, especially if you like to mix and 

match your teas. To make it even better, the tea-istas make all of the 

teas with Goodwater, which they claim is the purest and cleanest 

water on Earth. You can enjoy your tea hot or cold, pick out a 

sandwich, soup or salad from their menu, or a little sweet treat from 

their counter of goodies, and take a seat in any of the indoor or outdoor 

nooks and crannies of the eclectic space. You might only be a 

few steps from Atlantic Avenue, but you’ll feel worlds away. Yaxche 

Tearoom is located at 14 S. Swinton Ave. Visit www.yaxchetearoom.

It’s safe to say that there’s not a single person in the world 

who doesn’t like music. It can transform your mood, elevate 

your senses and upgrade your day or night. January 

is International Quality of Life Month and good news for you 

is that you don’t have to look far for a quality good time. The 

organizers at Old School Square have once again brought us

Yes, it’s that time of the year again when you are going 

to lose weight, get in shape, exercise daily, go vegetarian, 

and never touch alcohol again. We all know it so well 

because we talk about it every post-holiday season, and then 

forget about it two weeks later. Instead of talking, do more doing 

during Diet Resolution Week, which is January 1 through 7. 

Our bustling downtown has so many healthy options to choose 

from to help your waistline. Start out the week on a clean note 

and enjoy the Pur Recovery power shake from PurGreens. It’s 

made with banana, raw oats, almond milk, vegan chocolate 

protein, peanut butter and honey ($11), and is a great way to 

start your day. Another delicious option is Gary Rack’s Farmhouse 

Kitchen, where they offer “the farm-fresh lifestyle we 

all crave.” The quinoa chop, made with farro, apricot, beets, 

pistachios, radish, goat cheese, pears, grapes, tomato and garbanzo 

beans ($14) is a healthy and filling salad that will keep 

you feeling right all day. Whatever your resolution pleasure, 

there are options aplenty. PurGreens is located at 45 N.E. Second

E. Atlantic Ave. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call

Cystic Fibrosis Launches New Dinner Dance in Delray Beach 

Roses Evening on the Ave was 

65 held Friday, November 15, at Old 

School Square in Delray Beach and raised 

more than $92,000 for Cystic Fibrosis 

Foundation. 

Art and fashion were featured at this 

event held in The Fieldhouse and included 

a cocktail reception, dinner, live music 

and auction. Justin Vallee, an artist from 

Wynwood district, Miami, and local artist 

Rebecca Loveless were on hand creating 

canvases on site while models wandered 

the room in fashions by Kaushal Vishukumar 

of Miami. 

Serving as youth ambassador is Reilly 

Gardner, age 4, who was diagnosed with 

cystic fibrosis (CF) as a newborn. CF is a 

complex, genetic disease that impacts the 

lungs and digestive system and progressively 

limits the ability to breathe. While 

life expectancy has greatly improved 

from the 1950’s and age five to a current 

median survival age of 41, much needs 

to be done to improve the lives of people 

with CF until there is a cure through the 

support of research, drug development 

and specialized care.

Treason 

by Stuart Woods 

Released January 7th 

Barrington takes on a scheming 

Stone rebel in this latest action-packed thriller 

from #1 New York Times-bestselling author 

Stuart Woods. 

Upon returning to New York City after 

a whirlwind British excursion, Stone Barrington 

is notified of a delicate situation 

within the country’s administration. A 

close friend requires his expertise and subtlety 

to eradicate a destructive presence in 

a classified agency—only it soon becomes 

clear that this renegade was sent by a rival 

Stone has encountered before. 

From the City of Light to the rocky Maine 

coastline, Stone will need to summon all his 

wit and daring to halt the audacious plots 

threatening to reveal confidential intel, and 

catch the evasive traitor at last. This enemy 

may be equipped with unlimited resources 

and devious schemes, but if Stone remains 

vigilant, justice may finally prevail… 

Collateral Damage 

by Lynette Eason 


Honorably discharged from the Army 

after an explosion nearly killed her, 

former military psychiatrist Brooke Adams 

has set up shop to help others—but 

her days of helping military personnel are 

over. She’s got her own battles to fight from 

her time overseas, and she’s not equipped 

to take on more. Former Army Special Ops 

Sergeant First Class Asher James could 

handle anything that war sent his way— 

terrorists, bombs, bullets. The only thing 

that scares him now is sleep. As the shadows 

close in, the nightmares begin. 

Finally convinced that he needs help, 

Asher makes an appointment with a counselor, 

and Brooke is pressed by her boss to 

take him on. When he arrives at her office, 

she isn’t there—but a dead body is. Brooke 

is devastated when she walks in, and Asher 

is a conveniently strong shoulder to cry on. 

But she can’t take him on as a client after 

sharing such an intimate and unprofessional 

moment, can she? And he’s not sure 

52 | January 2020 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

he can handle sharing his deepest fears 

with such a beautiful woman. 

When it becomes clear that Brooke was 

the real target of the attack—and that her 

secrets go even deeper than his own—Asher 

vows to protect her no matter what. 

Big Lies in a Small 

Town 

by Diane Chamberlain 


North Carolina, 2018: Morgan Christopher’s 

life has been derailed. Taking 

the fall for a crime she did not commit; she 

finds herself serving a three-year stint in 

the North Carolina Women’s Correctional 

Center. Her dream of a career in art is put 

on hold—until a mysterious visitor makes 

her an offer that will see her released immediately. 

Her assignment: restore an 

old post office mural in a sleepy southern 

town. Morgan knows nothing about art 

restoration, but desperate to leave prison, 

she accepts. What she finds under the layers 

of grime is a painting that tells the story 

of madness, violence, and a conspiracy of 

small-town secrets. 

North Carolina, 1940: Anna Dale, an artist 

from New Jersey, wins a national contest 

to paint a mural for the post office in Edenton, 

North Carolina. Alone in the world 

and desperate for work, she accepts. But 

what she doesn’t expect is to find herself 

immersed in a town where prejudices run 

deep, where people are hiding secrets behind 

closed doors, and where the price of 

being different might just end in murder. 

What happened to Anna Dale? Are the 

clues hidden in the decrepit mural? Can 

Morgan overcome her own demons to discover 

what exists beneath the layers of lies?

from this place, rest assured that you are 

invited to live fully—right here, right now. 

Light will always find you, and even when 

the sun sets and you sit awaiting the dawn, 

know you are still blooming in the way you 

were meant to. And in each small moment, 

whether in the light or the dark, you can 

make room for becoming, for breathing, for 

stumbling, and for simply being—for there 

is Grace, today and every day.

Non-Surgical Approach 

To A Herniated Disc 

The medical phrase “herniated disc” is widely used to describe injury to 

the spine. It refers to the incidence of derangement within the spinal 

column in which there is injury to the spongy cushions (discs) between 

the individual bones (vertebrae). Herniated discs are most common 

when a person is in their thirties of forties however it can affect any age 

group especially when the aging population is active. 

It is most notably associated with the lumbar region (lower 

back) but can also affect the cervical region (neck) and 

thoracic (mid back) region with less prevalence. 

Quite often herniated discs in the lumbar region will 

produce sciatica (leg pain) and in the cervical region 

will produce arm pain. Dysesthesias (numbness 

and tingling) in the arms and legs are also 

associated with lesions involving the spinal discs. 

The disc itself lies between two adjacent vertebrae 

and is composed of a hard outer shell called 

the annulus and a gelatinous substance on 

the inside called the nucleus. The nucleus 

provides key structural support elements 

for the spine as it acts as a “shock 

absorber” for the spine so that the vertebrae 

do not touch each other. The 

cushion also creates a space between 

the vertebrae so that the spinal nerves 

can exit unharmed. However, the nucleus 

also contains certain chemical irritants such 

as tumor necrosis factor-alpha which can be 

toxic for nerves. Therefore it is of paramount 

importance that it remains within its shell. The 

annulus acts as the outer shell or barrier and is a 

resilient tissue made up of fibrocartilage. 

A herniated disc occurs when fissures (tears) 

form in the annulus or outer shell which allows 

for the nucleus to escape and get into dangerously 

close contact with the spinal nerves. The most offensive 

posture for the lumbar disc is sitting. This 

provides the greatest load on the disc and increases 

probability of herniation. Therefore sedentary 

lifestyles and jobs requiring prolonged 

sitting are deleterious for the discs. Other activities 

such as bending and twisting are also very 


damaging to the discs especially if repetitive. Lastly, acute events 

such as lifting something very heavy without proper support can 

injure the spinal discs. 

The “gold standard” for conservative, non-invasive treatment 

of disc herniations is non-surgical spinal decompression 

therapy. This treatment acts to create a negative pressure 

or vacuum within the spinal canal essentially retracting 

some of the disc material back into the annulus and away 

from the sensitive spinal nerves. In fact the pressure within 

the disc can get to minus 150 mm/HG. The most recent 

clinical study of 219 patients has showed 

that spinal decompression therapy 

provided an immediate resolution 

of symptoms for 86% of 

the participants while 84% 

remained pain free 90 

days post-treatment. In 

combination with a revolutionary 

modality termed 

class IV highpower laser 

therapy which accelerates tissue 

healing by tenfold through 

“kick-starting” the cellular machinery 

in the injured tissue, the outcomes 

are even more staggering. Core strengthening 

specifically designed for a disc herniation 

(which differs from other lumbar spine injuries) 

should not be ignored and should be a 

part of any protocol for injured discs.

Vanquish Your 

Imperfections 

As summer fades in South Florida, the zest for diet, exercise 

and alluring shape only accelerates. “If I could just be one size 

smaller” is not reserved for swimsuits. We are a people addicted 

to healthy, fit bodies and beautiful contours, and now, those of 

us who pine for any easy fix to love handles, muffin tops and 

man boobs have a resource that seems too good to be true. 

The technology is called Vanquish, a completely non-invasive 

procedure to annihilate fat cells using radio frequency. 

Dermatology and Laser Medicine claim it as an enormous 

breakthrough. There is no surgery involved and no needles are required; 

in fact, the procedure is completely pain free. The machine 

never even touches the patient’s skin. Deep tissue heating without 

damaging skin or muscle effects measurable results in this FDA approved 

approach to the destruction of fat cells. Results can be seen 

after just four sessions of forty-five minutes each. 

Vanquish fat melting sessions are controlled and comfortable. 

The dermatologist will adjust the laser to hover over the areas of 

the body to be treated, never touching the machine to the skin. The 

heat produced from the laser will feel warm, never hot, and will 

resemble the sensation of a heating pad on the belly. Sensors built 

into the device “tune” the patient’s fat and customize the energy 

required for each patient’s treatment session. 

The science involved is simple. Once the fat cells have been 


overheated, they die off and are filtered through the 

lymphatic system, metabolized in the liver and then 

excreted through urine. For this process to be effective, 

patients are asked to drink plenty of water before 

and after the procedure, aiding in the elimination of 

dead fat. Some minimal redness may occur at the site 

of the procedure, but swelling is extremely unlikely. 

Patients are not reporting any contraindications. 

They are losing two to four inches after four treatments 

without changing their diets or increasing exercise. 

Of course there are skeptics, but the ease of delivery 

for Vanquish speaks bundles about its ability to 

please patients. Unlike the other fat buster technologies 

of the last thirty years, treatments don’t involve 

downtime or discomfort for the patient. Liposuction, 

while capable of eradicating larger volumes of 

fat, requires anesthesia and surgery and sometimes 

delivers uneven results. Ultrasound, in which a hand 

piece is moved around the body to destroy fat with 

deep-diving sound waves, generally requires pain medication. 

Cryotherapthy, which freezes fat cells, does work, but is a slow 

process for both the patient and the technician and requires a 

significant time commitment. Vanquish, from all sides, seems to 

be the fat busting venue of the future. 

Vanquish is new, exciting and full of promise. Today it is eliminating 

beer bellies and love handles. 

Tomorrow it will reach to contour flabby arms and fatty necks. 

From the point of view of the dermatologist, this is very “cool” 

technology; from the point of view of the patient, this may be the 

hottest technique on the planet for looking good.

Jumpin’ Into The New Year! 

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

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

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

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

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

1. Make Realistic Resolutions 

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

that are attainable and realistic. The more accomplished 

you feel the more likely you are to stay motivated and 

pushing toward your goals. A resolution shouldn’t 

be a fantasy. If you’ve never lifted weights, attempting 

to do so 7 days per week is probably setting 

yourself up for disappointment. For most people, 

breaking or setting new habits doesn’t happen 

overnight. The key to sustainable resolutions is to 

make small changes gradually. If your goal is to go 

from never running to finishing a half-marathon, 

start training gradually. Begin by walking a few 

miles twice a week, and steadily increase the 

workload to jogging, and then running over several 

months. Just keep the word “realistic” in your 

mind and you’ll be off to a good start! 

2. Get Specific With Your Goals 

Resolutions should be both specific and measurable. 

Writing down your goals is not only a great way to accomplish 

them, but your list can also help you figure out 

the exact steps needed to get where you want to go. “I want 

to lose weight” is a pretty common New Year resolution, 

but how exactly do you go from point A to point B? Instead, 

try setting a more specific goal. For instance: “I 

want to lose 10 pounds over the next 6 weeks by eliminating 

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

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

before setting any other new goals.” The more specific 

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

goals are the harder it will be to attain them. 


3. Set Non-Superficial Goals 

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

goals usually lose their appeal after endless weeks of diet 

and exercise. Instead, try picking a goal related to health and happiness. 

For example, regular exercise has awesome benefits such 

as lowering cholesterol, boosting overall energy, and even increasing 

happiness and decreasing depression. Bringing some deeper 

intentions to your workout can make all the difference 

in sticking to your goals. Looking good in a swimsuit 

should come secondary to your main goal. 

4. Buddy Up 

Find a friend or someone with likeminded goals 

to keep and hold you accountable. Accountability 

is huge! You are much more likely to stay 

on track when you have someone to answer 

to besides yourself. A buddy should also 

serve to help motivate and keep things 

real. They should have no problem telling 

you to put that French fry down 

and get your booty to the gym when 

you’re lacking your own motivation. 

If your buddy isn’t doing their job, 

fire them and find a new one! There 

is always someone looking to become 

healthy and fit. 

5. Reevaluate 

Resolutions Often 

How many people resolve to finish 

a marathon, only to realize they dislike 

distance running? Or decide to take up 

yoga and realize they want something faster-paced? 

A lot of things seem fun from a 

distance but might not be a good fit. If this 

happens to you, switch gears and pick 

a different resolution. Don’t be afraid to 

switch it up if it isn’t working. You’re much 

more likely to stick with something that 

you truly enjoy.

Paradise in Delray Beach 

Realtor Scott Kleinman can help you! 

By Nicol Jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

Whether you are searching for a beachside 

villa, an oceanfront condo or a mega mansion, 

long-time Realtor Scott Kleinman can help you 

find your dream home in Delray Beach. 

For many years, the town of Delray Beach has been known as 

a tropical beachside oasis. In recent years, the small town 

has grown up and become a thriving downtown offering a 

sophisticated atmosphere. Residents and visitors can enjoy the 

many unique boutiques, fine dining, new high-end hotels and art 

galleries. You can go from a day at the beach to a night out on the 

town. From the sand to the Intracoastal to bustling Atlantic Avenue, 

everything is within walking distance. 

The growth of Delray Beach hasn’t stopped. There are many new 

construction condos and homes, along with hotels and restaurants 

being built near Atlantic Avenue. 

“Delray Beach still has the same small town feel but it’s really

growing a lot. The town of Delray Beach offers a little bit of everything 

for residents and tourists. It is a captivating and sophisticated 

city. It is changing all the time with all the hotels, new construction, 

restaurants, art galleries and shops,” said Scott Kleinman, a Realtor 

with Illustrated Properties, a Keyes Family Company, in Delray 

Beach. “It is a prime location. Whether you are living in this area 

or visiting many of the hotels, you are only a few blocks from the 

beach or downtown. You can watch the boats on the Intracoastal 

or head downtown for dinner or drinks, or visit Old School Square 

for entertainment; you don’t have to get in your car. Delray Beach 

stands out because there is so much to do here in this City.” 

And Scott Kleinman knows all about Delray Beach. He is your local 

Realtor, who lives, works, and breathes Delray Beach. 

Scott focuses on helping his clients sell and buy their homes in

“This is my area, where I live and work and I love all that Delray 

Beach has to offer. The town keeps growing and there is so much to 

do here without having to drive. The people are friendly, and it’s a 

fun atmosphere; it really grabs you,” said Kleinman. 

Scott currently has four luxury listings in Seagate Towers, a luxury 

condominium complex located on the Intracoastal Waterway in 

Delray Beach. Centrally located in the Seagate neighborhood, adjacent 

to the Seagate Yacht Club and luxury residences. Seagate Towers 

is one of the most desired communities on the barrier island. 

Situated between A1A and the Intracoastal Waterway, just a few

two towers featuring 149 spacious units, each having nearly 2,000 

square feet. The complex is renovating its social room and lobbies 

and has many amenities including: a heated pool, BBQ grills, fitness 

center, and more! 

“Everyone loves Seagate Towers. The location is ideal, close to 

town, the beach, and right on the Intracoastal. It has that small intimate 

feel where neighbors know each other, and you don’t get lost 

like you may in a 500 plus unit condominium,” said Kleinman. 

Known as being Client-Centric, the local realtor is always available 

to assist his clients. Coming from New York, Scott has been a 

South Florida Real Estate agent for 15 years.

working for yourself and I truly care about people. It is all about 

being Client-Centric and providing a commitment to others. With 

caring people skills and doing what it takes to help others, it was a 

good fit for me to go into the business,” said Kleinman. “Once clients 

spread the word, it travels fast and people want to work with you. 

Provide superior service and, of course, know the Real Estate market. 

I work really hard for my clients and am very hands on. It’s all 

about having long-term relationships with your clients.”

AQua GARDENS 

An Oasis of Beauty 

with Healthy Eatables 

By Diane Feen | photos by Jacob Leach 

Is it possible to combine the purity of growing your own 

veggies and herbs with something as natural as a fish 

tank or Koi pond? The answer is a resounding “yes.” 

You may not know it, but Mason Silvia has created a system of 

connectivity and symbiosis that glorifies nature while letting 

you grow organic food. 

The systems have changed since they were first introduced. Originally, 

they were two-tiered with fish tanks under seeded pots that 

grew organic veggies and herbs. Layered on top of each other they 

were impressive, but not as diverse and divine as they are now. 

The systems are now custom designed for your home and your 

lifestyle. You can have a beautiful Koi pond with fish that fertilize 

your plants (that yield herbs and veggies) built with stones such 

as marble, limestone, granite or slate. This natural landscape is a 

wonderment for the eye (and uplift for the soul) but also carries 

inherent beauty for the planet and our future. 

“Large scale agriculture is using pesticides, fertilizers and 

harmful chemicals to grow food. It ends up in the ground, which 

pollutes canals, inlets and eventually oceans. Toxic algae ends 

up polluting the water and killing aquatic life,” said Aquaponic 

CEO Mason. 

Being able to grow your own produce and herbs is one thing – 

but with such architectural integrity it’s a miracle. Aqua Gardens do 

not require soil, only seeds and clay balls that absorb water. 

The result of this revolutionary evolution (growing veggies and 

herbs) while gazing at a beautiful fish tank or pond is a win-win. It 

uses 90 percent less water than traditional growing methods and 

uses fish to fertilize the soil that grows the plants, veggies, and herbs. 

Fish tanks are a thing of beauty, but if you want a more all-encompassing 

nature-scape in your home or restaurant, you can opt 

for one of their living-plant walls. The water source is nearby (or 

within reach) to fertilize the plants. They resemble the green walls 

used indoors to simulate Mother Nature’s bounty, but these walls 

actually grow vegetables and herbs. 

The best part is that Aqua Gardens require only fish food and 

water, no harmful chemicals, soil or waste. You get to indulge in 

the calm and connectivity to nature while doing something good 

for your family and the planet. “Aqua Garden’s systems are an integrated 

cycle of symbiotic growth. It combines raising fish and 

raising plants without soil (hydroponics). This and other biowaste 

provides the plants with a nature source fertilizer.” 

“What you get is a living piece of art,” adds Mason. Indeed, Aqua 

Garden is a natural art form that nourishes both the body and 

your senses. You can get a custom designed waterfall with rocks, 

a greenhouse, educational tool (American Heritage School had one 

installed), commercial grow system, landscape design, or custom 

aquarium anywhere you want. 

For Ted Tarant – who loves to cook – and enjoys the natural beauty 

of a Koi pond and waterfall - Aqua Garden was a godsent. 

“I started out with a 10-gallon tank and grew tomatoes, basil, 

parsley and cilantro. They tasted as good, if not better, than any 

boutique farm store I’ve shopped in. It grew so much I started giving 

away the basil to my neighbors and they love it,” said Tarant. 

Tarant enjoyed the Aqua Garden system so much that he hired 

Mason (and Ron) to install a 170-gallon Koi pond system on his 

COPYRIGHTED 


screened-in porch. The plants yield herbs such as mint, oregano 

and basil, and it’s quite beautiful to gaze at. 

“The Aqua Garden is a wonderful system. My wife loves the beauty 

of it and we both love the fresh herbs. When my father saw it, he said 

‘it is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, it’s gorgeous.’” 

On one of Aqua Garden’s living walls you can grow cucumbers, lettuce, 

asparagus, peas, squash and tomatoes. In one month (with one 

seed) you can get 20 heads of lettuce at a fraction of the cost at a store. 

Aqua Garden also has Mini-Garden Kits that come with everything 

you need to grow your own herbs, right in your kitchen, for 

less than $100. 

They are currently reaching out to interior decorators, designers, 

contractors and architects who want to enhance their clients’ 

homes and commercial space with a system. 

The systems are beautiful and natural with no soil and no mess. 

It’s the perfect way of farming (in the city) for people without a 

green thumb. It also doubles as a natural dreamscape in your home, 

office, garden, or patio. 

“Anything is possible with an Aqua Garden Aquaponic System. We’ll 

build your dream system – customize the lighting, shape, size, style 

and more. You can grow fresh produce all year long, indoors or outdoors. 

It’s a living piece of art for your home or business,” adds Mason. 

And, you can say goodbye to produce and herbs with pesticides 

forever.

The Goldsmith Shop 

Creating New Jewelry or 

Fixing Your Favorites 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

The Internet has changed the landscape of retail stores. 

Some shoppers think this change is good, but most 

retailers would rather people came into their stores instead. 

Tom Fritch doesn’t see customers choosing their keyboards 

over him. The reason is simple. 

“The internet has changed everything, but one thing you 

can’t do online is size a ring. The world is changing, but this is a 

service business,” said the Goldsmith from Pennsylvania. 

If you don’t hear much about goldsmiths today, there is a reason 

– there aren’t many who still work independently. But that doesn’t 

bother Tom who sizes and fixes watches necklaces and bracelets. 

He also designs jewelry (if you bring him a picture, he will recreate 

your dream piece) and fix whatever is broken or needs updating. 

Just recently Preston came in with her mother’s charm bracelet. 

She wanted it to be made into a necklace instead. Tom doesn’t flinch 

and goes to work immediately to remedy, repair or remake the jewelry 

that clients bring into his small shop. 

You can see examples of his brilliance with shiny objects everywhere. 

There are pliers, hammers, a magnifying headpiece and tiny 

gold and silver findings everywhere you look. 

But those are merely the tools of his trade. 


tom At The Jewelry Bench 

The trade is one of precision with an old-fashioned twist. It’s not 

technological or done with a mouse or power button. It is an example 

of something from an era gone by – but with an immediacy 

we all need from time to time. 

This is exactly why The Goldsmith Shop is reminiscent of the 

good old days of retailing. It’s simple, honest and no-nonsense. 

Tom does what he says he’s going to do, and he does it with integrity. 

That must be the reason he has a five-star rating on Yelp. 

And stellar reviews from clients. “When the diamond fell out of 

my wife’s ring, we were concerned about finding someone competent 

and honest. As soon as I walked into The Goldsmith Shop, I 

knew it was the right place. Tom is a craftsman. He repaired the 

ring while we waited, and we watched him. I cannot recommend 

The Goldsmith Shop highly enough! If you need jewelry repair, this 

is the only place you need to know about.” 

Mark also sees the perfection in Tom’s work. 

“This place is the quickest and best for watch repair. I know Tom 

does a lot more than watches, but I have been going to The Goldsmith 

Shop for years without fail.” 

COPYRIGHTED 

tom Discussing a Repair With a Customer

The reason The Goldsmith Shop 

is so highly respected is because 

Tom’s occupation is his passion. 

“I can repair anything – it can 

be gold, platinum or resetting diamonds. 

I have followed my passion, 

creating high quality, creative jewelry 

for others to enjoy. I also work on 

antique and contemporary jewelry 

Soldering Gold Bands Together 

repairs while you wait,” said the 

master craftsman. 

The sign in his shop says, “Make your Unwanted Gold Jewelry 

Work for You – Ask Me How!” If you ask, Tom will do exactly what 

you want. He may ask you a few questions, but what you want is 

what he will make (or fix) for you. Tom listens, gives his expert 

opinion and then gets to work on your jewelry. 

“I fix a lot of jewelry that has not been repaired properly. If you 

can see the soldering or the repair that was done, then it was not 

done correctly. A repair should be invisible. I work with precious 

gemstones and diamonds and I will create any custom design of 

your liking.” 

He repairs antique and contemporary jewelry and can have your 

Rolex serviced by a Rolex trained watchmaker. 

Often recommendations are the best way to find an artisan 

of your liking. Scott agrees. “I realized The Goldsmith Shop was 

a small one-man team. The owner was super friendly and fixed 

my problem very quickly. As I waited, I noticed he had won many 

Showing a Customer a Handmade Necklace 

awards and is highly recognized in the area, so I knew it would be 

a quality fix.” 

There are other reasons people are so impressed with Tom. 

“When you come here you get to talk to the person who is going to 

do the job. That way you get exactly what you want.” 

So true.

Stitches by the Sea 

Needlepoint and Nurturing 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

If you ask Leslie Abady what she thinks about Stitches 

by the Sea she will combust with joy. The Boca 

resident – and needlepoint newbie – spends every 

Tuesday hunkered down with her needlepoint projects. 

The family - “a family affair” 

She came to this light airy creative juncture of stitches as a 

matter of happenstance. But like most of us she found nirvana 

in a Delray neighborhood surrounded by surreal canvases of 

color and creativity. 

“This is the most amazing place. I love coming here and look forward 

to Tuesdays to work on my needlepoint projects.” 

To Abady, Stitches By The Sea is about family, friendship and creativity. 

“I came here to learn how to needlepoint. When I first went, 

I did not even know how to hold a needle. Now I have a needlepoint 

set-up at home, and I feel like I have a new family. The energy 

here is so positive and when I am here, I forget about everything 

in my life and just enjoy the creative endeavor of needlepointing.” 

There are a lot of clients (who become surrogate stitching family 

members) who depend on Stitches By The Sea to be their creative 

purveyor of yarns, canvases and finishing. You can do your needlepoint 

at home and bring the finished product to be made into a heavenly 

creation, or spend time combining both at this shop by the sea. 

Barbara Wiston is the latter. The avid needlepointer has made 

some of her most cherished gifts for family members with the tools 

of the trade from Stitches By The Sea. She recently brought in a 

beautiful Tallit Bag in colors of the rainbow with satin lining and 

a poignant inscription for her son Gregg. “I buy all my thread and 

canvases here and they finish it for me. This is the 11th Tallit Bag 

I’ve made. I embroidered a note to my son so he will remember me 

some day and cry.” 

Wiston has eight grandchildren, a husband and two sons who get 

Tallit Bags as gifts from her. “They are wonderful at Stitches By The 

Sea. They are helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and warm.” 

Cynthia agrees. “This is a true family business with an emphasis 

on customer service. They are helpful and friendly and have great 

canvases and wonderful finishing. The best of the best!” 

To be the best you must aspire to a lofty place. That is what owners 

Judi, Dick and daughter Karen do. Judi has been in the needlepoint 

business for over 46 years (in Florida and Long Island) and is 

as friendly and unpretentious as a favorite aunt. 

Karen cheerfully welcomes customers into this panorama of 

color and beauty. She helps beginners get started on their first

Judi and Karen discussing colors for a new custom design 

projects and is always nearby for advice. “We love to show our 

customers the fabulous canvases that my mom and I design 

(or purchase) for the shop.” 

If you don’t know how to needlepoint - but have a creative 

urge to make beautiful canvases, dazzling handbags, faux 

champagne and liquor bottles, belts, designer limoges boxes 

and more - you’ve come to the right place. They have classes 

for beginners and advanced stitcher. 

Randi Paul-Heskins, who attended The Royal School of Needlework 

in London, gives stitching classes so people can go to 

the next level. “I show them the potential of what you can do 

with a canvas. The options are endless,” said the needlepoint 

expert who worked on Kate Middleton’s wedding dress. 

Susan Stark and Susan Safian also help clients create needlepoint 

works of art. All teachers are experts with decades of 

experience at needlepointing and design options. 

Beginner classes start with a sampler canvas with different 

stitches and techniques. They also have a Bargello class that 

teaches students to create different patterns and designs. The 

goal is to teach the art of needlepoint so stitchers can make 

things of beauty and enjoy the creative outlet. 

There are elegant handbags in colorful fibers that look like 

those on the coveted designer runways. You can make a needlepoint 

box to match your décor, or a belt for you or a loved one. 

They also have custom designed needlepoint canvasses 

in brilliant colors with every design imaginable. There are 

people, places and things of vibrancy and resilience. A 60’s 

VW Bus, Fine Art Neo-Expressionist women from Delray artist 

Vladimir Prodanovich, Colorful Exotic Elephants, uplifting 

Spiritual motifs, idyllic locales and more. 

They have monthly Trunk Shows that highlight original canvases 

from Colors of Praise, Penny MacLeod, Purple Palm Designs, 

Charlie Harper and others. 

Stitches By The Sea sells everything you need, and then some. 

Their website is a veritable feast of designer canvasses and accessories. 

Follow Karen on Instagram and Facebook at stitchesbythesea 

and you will see their newest designs and events. 

If you’re looking for a creative outlet – or are an experienced 

needlepointer – come to Stitches By The Sea. You will be surrounded 

by beauty and serenaded with friendliness. 

And as their trademark says: “Needlepoint is yoga for the 

mind.”

NADA’S italy tours 

Tours for People that Don’t Go on Tours 

But love to travel… 


The magic of Italy is a legend passed down from 

generations of Americans and Italians. But often we think 

that experiencing that magic is solely for those with relatives 

or friends in Italy. Nada Vergili proved everyone wrong. 

The native Italian, who grew up in Florence, followed her heart 

to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2001. It was there that she 

taught Italian language, cooking, and culture. Before long, her 

students began asking for her advice on where to go in Italy, what 

restaurants to dine at and what to do. They wanted an authentic Italian 

experience and knew that Nada would be the best source. 

They were right. 

“My students wanted an authentic Italian experience; they didn’t 

want a typical tourist situation. So, in 2004 I took a few of them on 

a group tour to Tuscany. We rented a villa, took day trips to small 

villages and wineries, and my mother cooked them an authentic 

Italian meal,” said Nada, who lives in Delray Beach and has an office 

in Pineapple Grove. 

That experience led to a conclusion that changed the trajectory of 

her life. “I realized that many people don’t like traditional tours and 

want an authentic Italian travel experience. I have direct contact

Nada Vergili – oWner & Founder 


The Nada’s “Italy By Design” Team 

Lake Como (Lombardia region), Italy 

You could say that Nada has the inside scoop on everything Italian. 

Her 18 full-time employees speak, eat and breathe Italy. They 

know where guests will get the best scenic tours, meals and cultural 

experiences without the stress and hassle of a large tour company. 

They also know luxury – not the luxury you see in traditional tour 

company brochures – but the luxury that locals know. Nada’s Italy 

tours are where authenticity meets curiosity. There are no more 

than 12 people on each trip, and they travel in a Mercedes Van, not 

a massive tour bus. 

“A good guide is the doorway to the local culture and history of 

Italy. We offer the real Italian experience such as a wine tasting on 

the terrace of a 13th century medieval tower or truffle hunting with 

local experts.” 

Nada’s Italy tours are not only intimate, but they move at a more 

leisurely pace than traditional tours. “We like our guests to enjoy 

the moment, savor each experience and get the feel for historic 

sites that are often off limits to large tour groups.” 

To ensure all your needs are taken care of they offer full-time 

concierge services. Are you concerned about what to take to the 

Amalfi Coast for dinners on the terrace? Worry no more, just call 

their concierge. Not sure which shoes to bring to explore a hilltop 

village or winery? Just call their concierge. 

If you need help deciding which of Nada’s tours best meets your 

needs, ask them. The “Italian Treasures Tour” will take you to the 

inner sanctum of Rome, Florence, Venice, Orvieto, Siena, San Gimignano, 

Treviso, Murano and Burano. You will experience amazing 

historical sites, dazzling Italian cuisine, museums, galleries and 

other Italian traditions. 

Are you going on your honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary? 

Do you want a private tour – or one for your extended family? Then 

you might like their “Wine, Food and Traditions of Tuscany Tour.” 

This tour will take you on a panoramic and culinary extravaganza 

through Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Pienza, Montepulciano, 

Greve in Chianti, Arezzo and Cortona. You’ll get to savor the hilltop 

sunsets in Tuscany, stay in a luxury Villa with olive orchards and 

vineyards, take day trips to quaint villages, wineries and castles. 

The best part - you will get to experience what Italians call “La Dolce 

Vita” or the sweet life. 

There are other tours that will make you want to pack your 

bags tomorrow and sign up immediately. There’s the “Jewels of 

the Amalfi Coast” (Positano, Rome, Ravello, Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri, 

Paestum, Pompeii), the “Sizzling Sicily Tour” (Mediterranean 

island’s historic diversity, cuisine, culture, and architecture), “Puglia 

Paradise Tour” (an ancient, mystical land embraced by two seas 

where history reigns supreme) and many others. 

They’re not just sightseeing trips, they’re true Italian experiences 

of the cultures’ romantic and exotic terrain. “Our tours offer 

fun cooking classes, visits to cheese and olive farms, exclusive winery 

tours, VIP preferred museum access, private boat rides, guided 

market tours, and other historic sites.” 

If these tours sound like they were made in heaven, they are. 

“Our Italian Treasures tour was wonderful! I can’t think of anything 

that Nada’s could have done to make it better. The extra surprises 

were so fun! The tour guides were wonderful. It was the best 

vacation we’ve ever had,” said Melanie. 

It’s easy to see why everyone is smitten with these custom luxury 

tours. You’re not merely a spectator, you’re immersed in the grand 

traditions of Italy. You get to meet local artisans, wine makers, 

farmers, chefs, take cooking classes, gain access to extraordinary 

insider sites (where heaven meets earth) and get personal attention 

on demand. 

“I need 6 stars to properly rate Nada’s Italy! Our family of 10 

experienced the Blissful Italian tour and a customized tour of Sicily. 

With four children we were apprehensive about keeping them 

entertained. Our worries were unnecessary! Our tour guides were 

like family and treated our children as their own. We could not have 

been happier. My husband and I cannot wait to take another trip 

with Nada’s! You exceeded our expectations,” said Denise. 

Words like this are music to Nada’s ears. “The biggest compliment 

comes from people who tell me they couldn’t go back to Italy 

unless they go on one of my tours.” 

Nada has nothing to worry about. Everyone loves her spectacular 

tours and enjoys getting to live life like an Italian, if only for a few weeks. 

And besides, who doesn’t want to live La Dolce Vita – the sweet 

life? We all know the answer – and so does Nada.

OUR BOAT HOUSE 

Home Furnishings Inspired 

by the Sea, Sand and Salt 

New Location in Delray Beach 


Your favorite furniture store has moved to a new more 

accessible location. Our Boat House is now located at 2050 

North Federal Highway, Delray Beach, FL 33483. 

For 10 years, the local store has offered the most unique home décor 

and more to Delray Beach. The moment you walk through 

the doors of their new location, you will feel right at home. From 

their shell chandeliers to nautical themed accessories to their coastal 

room settings, Our Boat House has something for every home. 

Let the OBH Crew help you get rid of your tired décor, your old-world 

style or your pastels and pink flamingos of the past and create your 

very own “Sea-Inspired Escape” that you will love every day and your 

guests will long for and remember forever. 

At Our Boat House, the philosophy is to offer true nautical elements 

and a mix of styles, finishes and textures that all work together to distinguish 

your home from all others. By adding pops of sea glass green, 

watery blues and sandy neutrals they re-create the relaxed feel of summer 

vacation right at home. The current trend of washed reclaimed 

wood adds a casual beachside element that is best mixed with the classics 

of the rich woods, leathers and cottons. The mix of these elements 

creates a warm, welcoming and timeless home that is not trendy. Whatever 

your personal taste - from contemporary to transitional, they can 


help you capture the drama and mood of the sea and create your own 

sea-inspired escape. 

Our Boat House is a family owned and operated business. The owners 

Karen Marcil and Christina Auer have much experience and knowledge 

in the home design and décor business. Their team includes lead designer 

Stacy Raymond, designers Jonathan and Beca Llampey, designer 

Kendal, marketing coordinator Alexa Marcil and assistant Cassidy. 

As a large close-knit family with Swedish heritage, the Our Boat 

House founders spent weekends and summers celebrating life on the 

beach with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Their best memories 

are of times on the water: boating, clamming, sailing, fishing, crabbing, 

surfing and everything else involving water. From a very young 

age, they developed a deep love and yearning to be close to the sea, 

sandy beaches and salt air. 

With parents involved in real estate, the love of home design became 

a family obsession. It only seemed natural that they channeled their 

passion into designing interiors, thus creating homes for all that are 

pleasing and welcoming. They wanted to bring with each project, the 

essence of the sea inside - with classic beachy, relaxing furnishings. 

Since beginning this journey in 2010, Our Beach House has evolved 

from Classic Coastal design with crisp whites and deep navy themes 

COPYRIGHTED

into a fresh, Modern Coastal flare. However, they will always love 

utilizing the found treasures, special nautical finds and incredibly 

comfy furnishings. The Modern Coastal style focuses on polished, 

clean lines with sea glass blues, warm whites, sleek metals and glass 

- while still feeling refreshingly comfortable for the entire family. 

They have also incorporated some collections for kid’s rooms, pets 

and a Zen area, focusing on wellness and meditation. Any of their 

room styles and pieces are perfect for your home and can be suitably 

sized - whether it be a house, condo or apartment. 

Our Boat House is a place where they want you to enjoy life and 

nourish your soul with any of their signature styles. 

One of the biggest challenges they address is assisting homeowners 

in putting a room together. Many times it’s the finishing touches 

that are missing. From simple questions to the most difficult design 

dilemmas, Our Boat House is there to help, via e-mail, phone or with 

an at-home design appointment. 

“Our philosophy is envisioning displays that are changed every 

6 months. Our customers can envision their home and they break 

down to California coastal, a zen garden area, and smaller scaled 

items for townhouses and condos, nautical and contemporary 

rooms,” said the owners. 

“What we sell is a timeless lifestyle that people can connect to. We 

are a family owned business and not a corporate store, this has a lot 

to do with people coming back and wanting to spend time here. Our 

customers have a great experience with us and tell their friends, and 

our business just continues growing,” said Christina. 

Stop by their newly relocated Delray Beach showroom and find 

a coastal theme that works for you- you’re going to love it for years 

to come! 

Celebrate Our Boat House’s Grand Re-Opening on Saturday, January 

18th, offering unique sale items and a festive kickoff season 

event. They also offer staging, personal home design, a design room 

open to local designers and are available to host events.

Proper Ice Cream 

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth 

With Chef Made Flavors 

BY Nicol Jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

The moment you walk through the doors of 

Proper Ice Cream, you are transported to an 

ice cream shop unlike any other. 

From the colorful graffiti mural on the side of the building 

to the menu of over 200 chef made flavors of ice cream to 

choose from, Proper Ice Cream in Delray Beach is two scoops 

above the rest. 

Owner and chef Rickey Felberbaum serves up an assortment of 

ice cream creations from the Blueberry Muffin and Key Lime Pie to 

the Honeycomb or Glazed Donut. Some favorites are the Chocolate 

Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Bread Pudding and sorbets. They even have 

flavored ice cream cones, milkshakes, sundaes, tarts, lots of toppings, 

and a hot ice cream sandwich. You won’t be able to tell the difference 

while sampling their full line of vegan ice cream and sorbets. 

The new EAST location has added soft serve and milkshakes. The 

soft serve tap features 2 rotating flavors from Banana Bread and 

Strawberry Passionfruit to seasonal offerings like Pecan Pie. Plantbased 

flavors also make their way into the lineup with recipes like 

Golden Milk and Toasted Vanilla. Cashew milk, coconut milk and 

raw cocoa butter are used instead of traditional dairy. The kitchen 

is constantly working to perfect desserts that appeal to a variety of 

patrons with dietary restrictions including gluten-free while maintaining 

a high level of quality and flavor. 

The ice cream is homemade fresh every day with only natural 

ingredients, 20% less sugar and zero additives. 


“The mission is to never use any chemicals or artificial ingredients, 

and to never process with air,” said Rickey. 

The owner’s passion for crafting delicious ice cream and sorbets 

turned into his desire to perfect the best ice cream. Traveling around 

Europe, Italy and even Manhattan, Rickey who was an attorney at 

the time, would visit ice cream shops and wonder why the ice cream 

wasn’t as good in many ice cream shops in the US. He decided to take 

the next step by attending ice cream school at Penn State University 

training with award winning gelato chefs. Rickey also worked 

alongside Chef Clay Conley at Buccan restaurant in Palm Beach. He 

decided to share his expertise by creating desserts for high-end restaurants 

and then opening ice cream shops in Delray Beach. 

“At Penn State University I learned which ingredients make ice 

cream pure, dense and light. I also spent time working in many 

kitchens and met gelato chefs all over the world. It started as a hobby 

and then it evolved into us providing ice cream and sorbets for 

select high-end restaurants, then I decided what if we take the front 

of our kitchen and start selling it retail to people and see what happens. 

It became very popular, and we needed to look for another 

location,” said Rickey. 

Proper Ice Cream offers the perfect setting for a date night, a birthday 

party or a family day out. They have indoor counter seating and

S-STEAm at St. Joe’s 

Spirituality – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math 

outdoor seating for guests. The restaurant staff and owner can 

be seen at many city and charitable events around town. The 

atmosphere and ice cream is the perfect sweet treat for Delray 

Beach. Proper Ice Cream was recently recognized as the Number 

1 restaurant in Delray Beach by Taste of Recovery Food Show. 

“Over the last few years, the City of Delray Beach has 

boomed into foodie heaven. There’s a recent influx of very talented 

chefs that own and operate or work at local restaurants 

who have changed the food scene dramatically. Delray Beach 

is a great small town environment with the ability to attract 

vacationers, and the locals can not only enjoy great food but 

craft made homemade real pure and simple ice cream with no 

additives, no air pumped in, and everything is made in house 7 

days a week,” said the owner. 

The unique ice cream flavors have become such as hit among 

first time guests that they soon become regulars. Proper Ice 

Cream can also be found on the menu of many popular area 

restaurants in Delray Beach, Palm Beach and Broward County. 

Pints of your favorite flavors are displayed at the Joseph’s Classic 

Market in Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens and soon to be 

Delray Beach high-end supermarket. 

“The first time someone tries our ice cream, it’s like they are 

tasting something new. Even though it’s ice cream, it tastes different 

than the ice cream people are used to. We don’t use heavy 

cream; we use significantly less sugar and only natural ingredients,” 

said Rickey. 

“This place is amazing. The flavors are done with an amazing 

hand that balances the sweet and the salt perfectly. It can 

sit in the freezer and it still serves easily with a spoon. The 

sweet corn and blueberry was subtle and sweet while the cinnamon 

just hits you hard. Everything I’ve had from this place 

is amazing and I can’t wait to try it all. The price is 100% appropriate 

for the quality. I will be back and I can’t wait to sit 

out in the Florida heat enjoying a literally perfect cone of ice 

cream,” stated a happy customer. 

Why not treat yourself to some Proper Ice Cream! It’s simply 

proper, the way it should be.

Celebrating Its 40th Birthday 

“WE STAND FOR EXPERIENCE AND WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE” 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

Milestones mean a lot to us. 

They mark the passing of time 

and the aspiration to excellence. 

Drs. John (R) and Ted Ritota (L) with Their Mom Dolores 


That is why Dr. John Ritota and his brother-partner Dr. Ted Ritota 

are celebrating their journey from dental school graduates to 

established dentists in Delray Beach. 

“John called me one day in 1977 and asked me what I knew about 

Delray Beach. I’m a sailor so I noticed all the Hobie Cats on the beach, 

and I thought the beach was beautiful,” said Dr. Ted. 

It turns out that Dr. Ted was right on with his initial assessment of 

this once sleepy town often referred to as Dull-Ray. The story goes 

something like this – Dr. John graduated from dental school and four 

days after his younger brother Ted graduated from dental school they 

moved to Delray and opened a dental practice. 

Their father Dr. John Ritota practiced dentistry in New Jersey for 57 

years. Though he had hopes for his sons to join him in his practice they 

had other geographic aspirations. 

“We had just landed in New Jersey after a ski trip in Jackson Hole, 

Wyoming and it was cold, gray and raining. We both said we didn’t 

want to spend the rest of our lives in New Jersey, so our father came to 

Florida to help us find a building to start our dental practice. He said, 

‘I’ve had my life, now it’s your turn to live your life,’” said Dr. John. 

That is exactly what the brothers from South Orange, New Jersey did. 

They found a small building in a sleepy part of Delray surrounded by sunlight 

and greenery. They put out their shingle, had their mom Dolores 

as their receptionist, and started the way most young dentists start out. 

“At the beginning we both had to work in other locations. I worked 

in West Palm Beach and John worked in Hallandale. At first, we both 

slept in our office on cots and swam in the ocean each morning. We 

also acted as dental assistants for each other.” 

Their bond is a beautiful one. They shared an apartment near their 

Delray office and built up their practice one patient at a time. Their 

mom would often run outside and give business cards to those walking 

by. They also did a mailing that mentioned their NJ roots. “People 

saw we were from New Jersey and it brought in a lot of patients. We 

also befriended a local boat captain and he became a patient and referred 

us to numerous people as well.” 

One of the hallmarks of their dental practice is refined and revered 

customer service. They treat all patients with the utmost of care and 

see everyone in a holistic manner. “We have been here for 40 years and 

that says something in and of itself. We provide courteous service and 

treat people with respect and care.” 

They sure do. One time a patient couldn’t get to the office for scheduled 

dental work because it was raining so hard. Dr. Ted picked the patient 

up at his home and drove him to the office for long awaited crowns. 

“I drove him home in a torrential downpour, he was very appreciative.” 

Rich Covino also appreciates the care he gets at Delray Dental. Covino 

has been a patient for almost 30 years. “The Ritota brothers are 

good at what they do and are very devoted to their patients. I’ve had 

so many procedures there – root canal, caps, cleanings and more. They 

are dedicated to dentistry and I am very pleased with their service.” 

Other patients agree. “I have seen many dentists over the years and 

these guys are better than the best! My treatment was professional 

and done on a timely basis. Their pricing was completely fair. I don’t

Our Excellent Staff: back row, Sofia, 

Dr. Ted, Mom (Dolores), Dr. John and 

Luz; kneeling, Kim and Carine 

usually comment, let alone give anybody a 6-star rating, but I 

couldn’t help it, These professionals are great!” 

Both Dr. Ted and Dr. John keep up with the latest technology 

and treatments. They use lasers and state of the art implant 

techniques with an in-house lab. They specialize in all facets of 

dentistry - from implants to crowns, bridges, veneers, teeth whitening, 

root canals, bonding, dentures, oral surgery, extractions, 

fillings, invisible braces, soft tissue management, denture relines 

and emergency care. 

Dr. John graduated from Georgetown University School of Dentistry 

and is a member of the South Palm Beach County Dental 

Association. He is trained in all types of Dental Implant Systems 

and was in the Outstanding Young Men In America (recipient of 

the Van Cliburn Award) for TMJ Dental Research. 

Dr. Ted graduated from the Fairleigh Dickinson University 

School of Dentistry and is a member of the South Palm Beach 

County Dental Association. He also has advanced training in most 

major implant systems and has completed surgical residencies 

for the placement of implants. 

Both Dr. John and Dr. Ted have appeared in “Guide to America’s 

Top Dentists” and are dedicated to their profession and their patients. 

They are also dedicated to each other. 

“As brothers we thought that we would practice dentistry together 

for five years. Then we amended our decision to 15 years. 

We realize the benefits of practicing together far outweigh any 

disadvantages. We recognize our strength together and enjoy the 

practice and our office.” 

They also found a solution for any disagreement. “We toss a 

coin when we don’t agree on something. It avoids any arguments 

and it works well.” 

So does their dental practice. After 40 wonderous years the 

practice is doing well, and the staff and patients are very happy 

with the friendly, caring environment dotted with willowy trees 

and a gentle Delray refinement. They also revere the support 

they get from their wives June Ellen and Lisa. 

“We realize how lucky we are to have such a happy office and 

happy families that get along so well together. It’s been 40 wonderful 

years and we look forward to helping our patients into 

the future.”

Thermae Retreat 

Alkaline water is kept in 

copper pitchers for minerals 

Thermae Retreat is now located at 215 NE 22nd Street, Delray 

Beach - only one-mile North from their old location and behind 

Anuttara Yoga. Their new address provides a more intimate 

atmosphere, bohemian style space, with a new large outdoor 

barrel sauna, private garden and an organic café offering a variety 

of smoothies and healthy bites for guests. The spacious meditation 

room has ‘active meditation’ offering sacred geometry adult coloring 

books and knitting - which have the same benefits on the brain 

as meditation - and are used for those who have a hard time quieting 

the mind. Another area is filled with lounges and pillows with 

headsets for listening to guided meditation or frequency music. 

As soon as you walk through the doors you feel at peace because 

of a sacred geometry crystal grid hung on their ceiling built by Robert 

Cannellos (thecrystalmagician.com) in the reception room, and 

the paint used on the walls throughout the retreat infused with selenite 

clears negative energy simply by entering the space. 

The Delray Beach day retreat provides an organic wellness space 

centered around relaxing, detoxing saunas and holistic therapies. 

“Therapist Anthony Carrancejie and I are partners in the new space 

which is a beautiful addition to the location,” says Shaman Debra 

Kelly. Debra, the Shaman in Thermae Delray, started in the Fort 

Lauderdale location in 2013 and Anthony joined the tribe in 2017. 

Anthony, also a therapist at Hippocrates Health Institute offers cupping, 

craniosacral therapy, custom massage and hosts the weekly 

Men’s Gathering. Now in their third year with continued growth, 

they have added more services including classes and workshops, 

unique treatments, and an array of memberships for their guests. 

Recently, Thermae Retreat was given an award from Trip Advisor, 

four years in a row, for best wellness retreat since 2016 (the Fort 

Lauderdale location opened in 2013). 

For the month of January, they are expanding their workshops 

and services. On Monday nights from 6 to 9pm, they are hosting 

Silent Nights, where people can come and be quiet with no distractions, 

completely unplugged. Every Tuesday night at 7pm is a 

Brotherhood Mens Circle. During the week they have a variety of 


Expanded Services 

and New Location 


This is not your typical day spa. Thermae Retreat 

has a new location and the unique treatments 

and amenities are loved by members and guests. 

Owners Kelly Doyle & Shaman Debra Kelly, Head Guide 

Shamylla Ross and therapists Ilana and Lacey with guest 

workshops - one teaches members how to use botanicals and oils 

for a cold or flu. Their Shaman Debra Kelly is offering sound baths 

and medicine work in a new energy room. 

“For 2020, we have added new amenities for memberships, 

such as our Hot Stone Barrel Finnish Sauna which will be located 

on the private deck in the garden. “A barrel style sauna distributes 

the heat better than a traditional square sauna and it is so cool to 

see,” says Shamylla, Thermae’s Head Guide. “Our focus is to assist 

guests in finding stillness, release stress and energy that no 

longer serves them.” 

Thermae Retreat offers a day membership for $45 and allows 

guests to see everything they have to offer; for another $64 you can 

experience a 60-minute massage for the whole sauna retreat experience. 

“We customize our treatments and offerings depending 

on our guest’s needs,” says Kelly Doyle, owner of Thermae Retreat. 

The unlimited memberships, start at $159 a month, and allow 

members to come as often as they want and stay as long as they 

want; this membership includes infrared saunas with chromo-

therapy (light therapy), hot stone Finnish barrel sauna, meditation 

space to find stillness, equipment to break down cellulite and 

move the lymphatic system, a relaxing outdoor garden deck with 

lounges, cool rinsing showers under a mango tree, a meditation 

swing and the organic cafe. There is also 10 percent off any treatments 

as a member, and members are allowed to bring one friend 

a month at no charge! 

Thermae Retreat looks at each person individually and has 

guides that assist you each time you come in. Therapists offer energy 

work such as massages with sound baths which take a traditional 

massage to the next level, organic facials which strengthen 

the skin on a cellular level and detoxing clays to remove the everyday 

toxins we take in daily. Shaman Debra Kelly will be offering live 

gong ceremonies and instructional videos such as teaching how to 

make your own altar at home starting in the spring, and you can 

spend a half day with her for a private Vibrational Medicine journey. 

They also started infusing Homeostasis® CBD oils and salves 

into a few of their massages called Homeostasis Massage which has 

tremendous benefits such as easing anxiety and pain and boosting 

heart health. For those with cancer, it may even provide a natural 

alternative for symptom relief. 

Regular treatments include the full sauna retreat and they ask 

that you give yourself a 2 to 4 hour window of time to experience 

and find stillness. “It is in this stillness that you find clarity, and that 

clarity allows you to see new paths and put space around things 

that appear to be ‘problems’ and allow you to see that they are just 

challenges that help us grow,” says Kelly. 

Energy Healing and Massage with Debra Kelly 

Besides the many retreat offerings, classes and saunas, Thermae 

Retreat has also become a gathering place for the community to celebrate 

special occasions. Whether it is a birthday or bridal shower, 

a group event or a bachelorette celebration, the Delray Beach day 

retreat is a unique setting to celebrate the “Thermae way.” Guests 

will be treated with fresh juices, delicious organic light bites, herbal 

teas, saunas and holistic treatments all in a beautiful setting. 

There are membership specials being offered for new members 

during the month of January.

The Heart of 

Real Estate Investing 


Albert Boyd and Robert Guntmacher are a great team. The 

two real estate entrepreneurs are savvy about identifying 

and creating real estate opportunities for investors. 

Unlike many in the real estate industry this new boutique 

real estate firm is quietly doing deals that are profitable, 

yet not promoted in the traditional way. 

Their clients are businesspeople and investors who realize 

the potential for profit in the real estate market. 

And, if anyone understands the inner workings of a good real 

estate project, it’s Boyd. The Florida native has been in the Florida 

real estate investment business for over 30 years. But his 

purpose is also to guide those who stand beside him. 

“One of my favorite roles in life is being a father to my three 

children and a surrogate father to those in need. I realize that 

guiding young people to find their inner strength (and build 

their self-esteem) changes the trajectory of their lives. I’ve been 

blessed to see the positive changes in their lives and to receive 

their love. Making a difference matters.” 


Robert Guntmacher, Director of Sales 

Julie Ann Giachetti with Robert Guntmacher 

Their proven track record of gentrifying neighborhoods and 

positively improving cash flow and return on investments is 

paramount. But it’s not their only purpose. 

“We like to meet with our clients and better understand their 

goals and objectives. Then we analyze their situation and suggest 

a viable direction for a more profitable path in real estate,” 

said Boyd. 

Delray One Realty clients become part of their network for future 

deals and ongoing relationships. And you never know when 

a golden opportunity will pop up – but Boyd and Sales Director 

Guntmacher do. 

They sure do. “Mr. Boyd has demonstrated to be a man of 

personal and professional integrity and character with the capability 

to deliver on his responsibilities and commitments to 

others. He brings the asset and expertise along with industry 

knowledge in all components during the real estate process,” 

said Frank Pesce, CEO of Cannatelli Builders. 

That’s because Delray One professionals know the business 

from the ground up. “I have bought and sold land, office buildings 

and distressed properties and added unique value to some 

of these deals. The results have been spectacular,” said Boyd,

Julie Ann Giachetti with Robert Guntmacher collaborating on a new project 

who believes there is opportunity in adversity. 

Boyd and Guntmacher have experience redeveloping projects 

with an outcome that benefits everyone involved. “I feel there’s 

an opportunity to improve property values, neighborhoods and 

the quality of life for those who live there.” 

This time honed knowledge is what Boyd and Guntmacher 

bring to Delray One Realty. That’s why everyone who knows 

them is adamant that they’re dealmakers and real estate savants 

who know how to capitalize on deals that may seem ordinary – 

but are not. 

Lawyer Philip B. Harris has seen this expertise as well. “Al has 

the ability to structure a deal – and look at property – when others 

see no value in. He also finds a way to structure a deal that 

makes money for his clients. I’ve seen him sell the same property 

several times.” 

The reason for this value-added proposition is pure genius on 

Boyd’s part. He sees real estate in a unique way and is clairvoyant 

about its ultimate destiny. 

“Delray One is the perfect place to look for real estate projects 

that suit specific client needs. Whether it’s a unique acquisition 

strategy, creative value-add plan or niche development projects, 

we will create a ‘Vision to Value’ plan for our investors.” 

If you are in the market for property to fulfill a 1031 Exchange 

look no further than Delray One Realty. They know what properties 

will meet your requirements and who to call to make it 

happen. 

They do this by knowing what’s for sale and who would be 

best benefited by buying it. “We go right to a seller to fulfill a 

1031X need for clients. We don’t go to listings or wait for the 

right deal to materialize. We know who to go to for the right opportunity 

at the right time.” 

Steven Michael of Hudson Holdings in Delray has seen this genius 

up close. “I have known Al to be very professional and hard 

working. He understands development and knows the business 

side very well. I have bought and sold properties through him. 

He knows his stuff.” 

Legend has it that Boyd has a habit of pushing through when 

most people give up. This military veteran (who has two sons 

in the military) understands that it takes a “commitment to the 

mission” to work through many of the challenges to creating 

value in development deals or income properties. 

Part of his business savvy in the real estate industry is Boyd’s 

dedication to relationships. He honors them as if they were heirlooms 

and keeps them close at hand. “I just want to do good 

business and build long term relationships. I have investors that 

have been with me for 30 years.” 

Perhaps one reason both Boyd and Guntmacher are so effective 

in communicating concepts is because they have seen the 

world. Boyd grew up in a military family and moved around the 

globe like a ping pong as a child. “I lived in Denmark, Germany, 

Holland, California, Connecticut and Boston.” 

Guntmacher also moved around for business and lived in Detroit, 

Cleveland, Chicago, NYC and San Francisco. 

Both men have a real passion for real estate - and the foresight 

and understanding of the industry - from the dirt to the development 

finish line. 

They welcome the opportunity to help investors exceed their 

expectations, and maybe change lives along the way. 

“We also contribute to charitable causes such as Little Smiles, 

the Marine’s Toys For Tots and others. It’s food for the soul and 

supports our shared humanity.”

Cynthia M. Pyfrom P.A. 

A Boutique Law Firm 

Exclusively Practicing Family Law 

By nicol jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

Known as a dedicated and passionate attorney, 

Cynthia M. Pyfrom, Esq. will fight for her clients when 

it comes to matters of matrimonial and family law. 

Clients are not just another number at this boutique law firm, 

which focuses on providing individual attention to its clients. 

When you call the firm, you will be scheduled to speak directly 

to Cynthia, not an associate attorney. 

“I am the face of the firm and I do all the work. I am reliable, and 

I will answer questions in a timely fashion. You will not go through 

three to four people to get to me,” said the local attorney. 

Her law firm, Cynthia M. Pyfrom, P.A. was founded in 2014 on the 

belief that everyone deserves honest and straightforward legal representation. 

President and Owner, Cynthia Pyfrom, Esq., has a passion 

for family law that is evidenced by her numerous years of experience 

Cynthia M. Pyfrom, Esq. at the Delray Beach Courthouse 


as a paralegal and ultimate decision to attend law school in order to 

make a personal impact in her community. 

Cynthia M. Pyfrom, P.A. provides high quality legal representation 

in Matrimonial and Family Law matters, including but not limited to 

dissolution of marriage, child support, timesharing, equitable distribution 

of property, modifications, enforcement, contempt, pre and 

post nuptial agreements, paternity and alimony. Since these matters 

can sometimes be a financial burden on the parties involved, Cynthia 

M. Pyfrom, P.A. provides competitive rates along with reasonable 

retainer fees. 

Family law matters can evoke high emotions and stress on those 

involved. Cynthia M. Pyfrom, P.A. understands the sensitive nature 

of these family law matters and works hard to ensure her clients are 

walked through the process with step-by-step legal advice and personal 

involvement. 

The local attorney has a wealth of expertise in the legal field. She 

started working as a law receptionist in 1997 and later became a paralegal 

in the family law field in 2005. 

“I fell in love with family law when I first started working in that field 

in 2005. Ultimately, I decided to go to law school and become an attorney 

myself. I worked full time at a family law office during the day and 

attended law school at Nova Southeastern University in the Evening 

Program four nights a week for three and a half years,” said Pyfrom. 

Besides her experience in law, Pyfrom incorporates her undergraduate 

studies in psychology into her practice. 

“I was originally going to be a high school teacher and took psychology 

classes during my undergraduate studies. When I fell into family 

law in 2005, I really enjoyed it because it mixed law and psychology. I 

genuinely enjoy being able to help my clients through one of the most 

difficult experiences of their life,” said Pyfrom. 

The attorney believes her practice is unique because of her extensive 

legal background and her personal experiences in life, which 

give her a distinctive empathetic perspective. Cynthia is the sole attorney 

and she specializes in personalized attention to each of her 

clients. She is always accessible to answer her client’s questions regarding 

their case, and she deals with clients on a one-on-one basis. 

Her rates are extremely reasonable, compared to other attorneys in

the area, and Cynthia’s wealth of experience in the legal field. 

She also gives back to the community. She is currently the President 

of the South Palm Beach County Chapter of Florida Association 

for Women Lawyers and is also a founding member of 

The Susan Greenberg Family Law American Inn of Court of the 

Palm Beaches, currently serving as Membership Chair. 

“What sets us apart from our competitors is that I understand 

the ins and outs of practicing law without having a large law firm. 

I provide individual attention to each of my clients. I am also divorced 

and a child of divorce, so I understand what my clients are 

going through. My goal is to help them get to the other side of this 

experience as quickly as possible so they can move on with their 

lives,” said Pyfrom. 

Pyfrom thinks her firm has been so successful because of the 

small boutique service. 

“My ultimate goal of the firm is to provide a unique service to 

the community that helps me stand out in a field that is inundated 

with attorneys. I get to know each of my clients, as family law can 

be the most intimate area of law. I believe what makes a good family 

law attorney is their legal and life experience as well as their 

background. The ability to be empathetic with a client in family 

law, letting them know that you truly care, is vitally important.” 

Her clients praise Cynthia and the law firm for helping them 

through a difficult time in their life. 

“Cynthia went above and beyond for me as an attorney. She 

is reliable, trustworthy and very skilled on the family process. I 

would definitely recommend her to any woman going through a 

hard time regarding family law. She puts you at ease during your 

case, always responding to your questions in a timely manner 

and she is very honest,” stated a client. 

“Very happy with Cynthia and her performance during my 

case. Felt at ease during this stressful situation. Watching her at 

work is amazing the way Cynthia is prepared and organized, like 

clockwork she works very smooth in court. I would highly recommend 

Cynthia as a very efficient and reliable lawyer that will see 

your case go through and help you with a positive outcome. I’m 

very grateful and thankful with Cynthia,” stated another client. 

Call Cynthia for all your family law questions!

A Taste of Flavor 

Atlantic Avenue Area 

Happy Hour Guide 

by Ralph Johnson 

During their visit, James and Teressa elected to venture out 

and explore the nearby Atlantic Avenue in search of gourmet 

food and drink. What they found couldn’t have been 

more of a surprise and delight, a tremendous selection of worldclass 

cuisine establishments, all within walking distance. Teressa 

came across the Atlantic Ave Magazine while wandering the strip 

and began to review dining tips from the publication. 

James’ mother, Betty, suggested they look for reciprocal timeshare 

resorts in Delray. During the hunt, they discovered their favorite, 

Berkshire by the Sea Resort, a beautiful place just across the 

street from the beach and still in walking distance to the Atlantic 

Avenue restaurants. Betty traded her own time share points in 

2013 & 2014 for all three of them to stay there together. 

After consulting with the Berkshire Resort Manager Marianne 

Lund, the Woodwards purchased two consecutive weeks in late October 

and arrived for their first ownership stay in 2015. It was a 

very bittersweet trip for them because Betty Woodward, who was 

entirely responsible for leading them to the moment, had passed 

away just two months before in August after battling breast cancer. 

Since their previous stay at the Marriott in 2009, James & Teressa 

had befriended the hotel’s Chef Concierge, Patricia Ozborn and regularly 

shared restaurant tips every year. While visiting with her in 

2017, she found out that they were published cookbook and wine 

guide authors and said, “You guys have been to more places and 

know more about the restaurants and bars here than we do, why 

don’t you write a comprehensive happy hour guide?” After contemplating 

the enormous undertaking, they decided to take up the task. 

During their two-week stay in October of 2018, the Woodwards 

began the challenge of attending over 50 establishments and documenting 

all of their operational information while purchasing and 

Oklahomans James and Teressa Woodward 

discovered Delray Beach in 2009 while 

shopping for a “boot camp” location to celebrate 

her 50th birthday. She located one on-line at the 

Delray outlet, Vita Vie Retreat operating through 

the Marriott on Ocean and Atlantic Avenue. 

taking photographs of the happy hour food items. When finally completed 

a year later in 2019, they also created a color version in an 

electronic “flipbook” form available to view on a personal computer 

monitor, tablet or even on a smart phone. The Berkshire board members 

were so pleased with the efforts their owners had made, they 

insisted upon printing hard copies for all of the resort’s rooms. 

The Woodwards created the extensive guide all at their own expense 

and did not reveal anything about the project to any of the 

establishments during the process. They consider Delray a second 

home “Foodies” dream vacation and will update the publication 

during their future visits. When asked if someone were to complain 

about anything with their Atlantic Avenue Area Happy Hour Guide, 

James replies with a wink and says, “They can have their money 

back.” To access “A Taste of Flavor” Atlantic Avenue Happy Hour

Delray Art League 

Artist Member Spotlight 

BY Howard Sherman 


Roxanne Lewis 

We asked Roxanne what was her favorite art form, she responded “I find the most compelling 

art form to be oils on canvas because I believe the vibrant colors bring life to my painting.” 

Roxanne became a member of the Delray Art League because of its long standing great reputation 

in the community. The Delray Art League has been in existence for over 50 years and 

Roxanne is happy and honored to be a part of it. 

When you ask Roxanne why she loves Delray Beach her comment would be that she loves the 

rich culture and the arts including the wonderful music scene, and of course the restaurants and 

shops on Atlantic Avenue. Roxanne feels that “It is my pleasure to be a small part of this great 

area and Delray Beach. 

Kathryn Carlyle 

When we asked Kathryn what do you find most compelling about your chosen art form, her 

reply was “My chosen art form is that of a painter and a one-of-a-kind jewelry designer. I 

believe that this all comes together in my materials, venues and the individuals they appeal to.” 

Kathryn has pursued this interesting pair of media all of her life, her inspiration is realized from 

interludes during her diverse travel experiences and her dream sleep. 

Kathryn uses metal leaf in her pieces, whether it be 22 karat gold, silver or copper, “My 2D 

abstract expressionism relates congruently to the precious metals that I use in my one of a kind 

art jewelry.” 

She has been an active member of the Delray Art League for the last 15 years, participating 

in the downtown outdoor shows with her talented fellow colleagues. Her efforts have always 

proved to be popular and profitable at the art league exhibits and for the donations generated 

to the arts education scholarship fund from her sales. 

Kathryn like most Delray residents will tell you that she loves Atlantic Avenue downtown as 

it encompasses a full array of the best that Delray has to offer. Entertainment, dining, the arts, 

festivals and shopping, from her experience are her favorites as she has lived in the immediate 

downtown area of Delray Beach for a decade. kathryn_carlyle@comcast.net

Moneta 

Moneta is one of the Delray Art Leagues most colorful artists which begins with the idea that 

you will always be on a first name basis with her as she goes by one name and that is “Moneta” 

What defines Moneta as an artist and what she finds most compelling in her work comes from 

an experience that she had years ago as she came through New York City’s Kennedy Airport for 

the very first time. As she was walking through the terminal into the open expanse there was 

a large massive piece of colorful art hanging from the ceiling. She couldn’t help but notice the 

large three dimensional Alexander Calder mobile and the feeling it created inside her from its 

presence overhead. 

Moneta has been a Delray Art League member for many years, loves downtown Delray and 

all it has to offer and as an artist you will find she participates in outdoor art shows in Delray 

regularly. She can easily be found as her work is well, large, and true to the form and experience 

that guides her.

A Delray Treasure 

Reggie Dobard Sr. is a beacon of 

light in a constellation of stars made 

up of those who walk beside him. 

His history is legend and his work in the Delray Beach School 

system and at Pompey Park are like a warm blanket that 

wraps around Delray. 

To an outsider the name Reggie Dobard may not ring a bell, but to 

those who have grown up in Delray Beach it’s as melodious as a choir. 

“Reggie is a modern-day hero. He’s a phenomenal person who has 

always been there with open arms for me and the entire community 

at large. He embraces everyone,” said his Godson Patrick Glover. 

Glover has a point. Reggie has been an emotional and physical 

safety net for everyone – young and old. He taught Physical Education, 

drivers training and was a basketball coach at Atlantic High 

School for over 37 years. After retiring from teaching he went back 

to his home away from home – Pompey Park. 

Pompey Park is where Dobard spent his youth playing sports 

and where he learned to swim. It was called Teen Town Center 

then, but to Dobard it was the center of his gravity. 

He was also quite close to Mrs. Pompey, who played a pivotal 

role in his life. Not only were they neighbors, but Mrs. Pompey was 

the librarian at his school and Mr. Pompey was the civics teacher 

and football coach. 

“At Carver I would help out in the library by putting books back 

on the shelf. My friends would tease me, but I was close to Mrs. 

Pompey. She brought culture to the Park; I was in her plays and she 

taught me to crochet.” 

Reggie could handle the pokes and jokes about his library prowess. 

That’s because he was 6-foot-5-inches tall and a star basketball 

and football player at Carver High School. He was not only inducted 

into the National Negro Basketball Hall of Fame but also named All- 

American Basketball Player. 

Reggie left Delray Beach to attend Bethune-Cookman University 

in Daytona. But he never lost sight of Pompey Park. During summer 

breaks he was the Pompey Park lifeguard and a Parks and Recreation 

Supervisor. 

Reggie’s love affair with mentoring and coaching kids at Pompey 

Park continued while he was teaching (after school) and after he 

retired. In 2015 the City of Delray Parks and Recreation presented 

him with a proclamation for his 50 years of service. In 2017 they 

named the gymnasium basketball court at Pompey Park after him 

for recognition and appreciation of his service. 

And boy does he serve. It’s been 55 years now and Reggie’s influence 

can be seen on every footprint and smile around Pompey 

Park. To some he was the consummate coach, mentor, swim teacher 

and disciplinarian – but he sealed in their respect with unconditional 

love and support. 

He has 10 biological children, but senior club leader La Tonia 

doesn’t agree. “Reggie has more than 10 kids. Every kid that walks 

in the front and back door belongs to him. He’s the history to this 

building and the community. He’s known from Maine to Spain.” 

That’s for sure. Reggie has been a surrogate father to generations 

of children in Delray Beach. And after 55 years at Pompey 

Park, he’s not ready to give up that moniker. 

His title is still a supervisory one, and his duties include making 

sure the field is cut, cured, marked and ready for games and processions, 

but that’s not his unofficial title. 

That would be Goodwill Ambassador and godfather to the entire 

community. His door at Pompey Park is always open and young 

children frequently pop in to say ‘hello’ or have a friendly chat. 

“Reggie is a living legend. He has an amazing knowledge of Delray 

and I can talk to him about anything. He listens and gives advice. 

I’ve never met anyone like him. People come to him for advice 

– his door is always open if you need to talk,” said Prentice Mobley, 

Recreation Supervisor at Pompey Park. 

Reggie was also a role model to Dondrea Swint. “When I was a 

kid Reggie kept me out of trouble. I was hanging around the wrong 

people and Reggie told me I was better than that. Now I run track 

at college and am studying sports medicine.” 

The accolades that tumble his way are like mist after a storm. 

When people see him, they honk their horns out of respect and 

love. But it doesn’t puff him up or inflate his ego. 

That’s because Reggie seems to know that leading children in the 

path of goodness is his calling. “I enjoy working with young people 

and I try to give them skills that will make their lives better. I came 

from a loving home where respect for adults was instilled in me.” 

According to Glover, Reggie was always the saint amidst the potential 

storms of life. “When we were young there was free tutoring 

at Pompey Park on Saturday mornings. Reggie made sure the 

center was open seven days a week. It was also a food distribution 

center and he was always there to make sure it went smoothly.” 

Reggie was Eddie Odom 111’s favorite teacher and Candi Odom 

Gauff’s swim teacher. “When I dropped Candi off for swim lessons, 

she held on tight to me, but when I picked her up, she was smiling,” 

said mother, Yvonne Odom. 

The head supervisor at Pompey Park, Rashod Smith, also sings 

his praises and is in awe of the man who walks softly but has the 

inner strength of a Sumo Wrestler. 

“I can talk to Reggie about anything. He has an amazing knowledge 

of Delray, listens and gives advice. I’ve never met anyone like 

him, he’s truly a living legend. People come to him for advice - his 

door is always open if you need to talk.” 

Though he was not Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, we 

honor him for his 55 years of service to Delray and its citizens - 

young and old.

PRIME TUSCANY STEAKHOUSE 

baciami 

The owners - father and son team Steven Pellegrino, Sr. and 

Steven Pellegrino, Jr. have perfected the art of glamour from 

its humble roots. There are Oriental rugs, crystal chandeliers 

and a wood interior that lays claim to an insulated elegance that 

molds and melds itself for your pleasure. 

Like everything in its category, the food and flair are inspired by 

history, yet filled with the tempo and temptation of today. 

That is exactly what founder and owner Steve Pellegrino Sr. had in 

mind when he opened it in 2010. A lot has happened since then – but 

luckily the family has kept its roots steeped in top quality food (USDA 

prime beef and seafood) in the Pellegrino tradition of excellence. 

“Everything we do here is of the highest quality. Enjoy our cuisine 

that include time-tested family recipes, genuine Italian hospitality 

and live entertainment at our Delray Prime Tuscany Steakhouse,” 

said Pellegrino. 

Aside from a scrumptious menu – they are serving the “country’s 


Great Food And 

Old-World Luxury 

prime steakhouse 

Prime Steakhouse, located in the heart 

of Delray Beach, is really in a world of its 

own. The ambience is part supper club 

and part elegant dining from another era.

only Monogrammed Tomahawk 36oz Ribeye Steak,” that Pellegrino 

says is a truly memorable dining experience. It comes with Idaho 

Potatoes, Grilled Asparagus and house made Onion Rings. 

Other favorite starters include Grilled Octopus (with Baby Arugula, 

White Beans and Potatoes), Shrimp Oreganato, Kobe beef 

meatballs made of Prime Tuscan Meat with Roasted Red Peppers 

and Shaved Pecorino Romano cheese. 

Another popular appetizer is their Stuffed Mushrooms with 

Sweet Italian Sausage, Broccoli Rabe and Sharp Provolone. 

When it comes to entrees, Prime will seduce you with their premier 

quality cuisine. All steaks are USDA Prime and include the finest 

8 and 12oz Filets, Prime Porterhouse, New York Strip Steak, and 

can include a Surf of your choice. You can add Broiled Maine Lobster 

tail, Oscar style, or Shrimp Scampi. A large selection of sauces 

are available as well. 

Other entrees that live up to their reparation are Chilean Sea

Antipasto from baciami 

Bass with baby clams, roasted tomatoes and asparagus and Grilled 

Jumbo Scallops with creamy asparagus, risotto and Parmesan crisp. 

Dinner is a wonderful time to celebrate love, life and the pursuit 

of happiness. But don’t forget about Prime’s Happy Hour seven 

days a week – that offers guests their choice of popular lite bites, 

wines and cocktails for $7.77. From 4pm to 7pm you can indulge 

in Tuscan Meatballs, Short Rib Sliders, Shrimp Oregano and more. 

There are private rooms for special occasions that seal in the intimacy 

and elegance that Prime is known for. Their outdoor garden is 

the perfect backdrop for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, showers, 

bar and bat mitzvahs and corporate events. 

“Whether your special occasion is an intimate dinner party for 

30 guests at your home, a private yacht party, or a corporate event 

for 1000 guests, we can accommodate you. Prime can provide fullcatering 

services in-house or onsite.” 

Their nightclub – Il Bacio – has a garden, three bars and seating 

that can accommodate up to 800 guests with a performance-ready 

stage and room for a 10-piece band. They have a state-of-the-art 

sound system, intelligent lighting and an on-premise technician. 

Prime can provide an Event Coordinator, Live Bands, DJs, Dancers, 

Fire Performers, Percussionists, Aerialists, Security, Serving 

Staff, chairs, tents, centerpieces, decorations, ice sculptures, 

themes, and a 144’’ HD projection screen (or 10’x10’ LED screen), 

laser light show, confetti blasters and other party extravaganzas. 

The Prime family just expanded to include a new Italian restaurant 

in downtown Boynton Beach - Baciami. It’s glamorous with 

old-world charm and warm Italian hospitality. But don’t let looks 

deceive you – the food lives up to the Pellegrino pedigree. 

Baciami, which in Italian means “kiss me” specializes in authentic 

Italian dishes with famed family recipes. Steven Pellegrino, Sr. 

and Steven Pellegrino, Jr. designed Baciami to transport guests to a 

traditional Italian table for an authentic dining experience. 

There is rich Italian history in the décor and the cuisine. To make 

sure the pizzas live up to their namesake, they imported a wood 

burning brick oven from Italy. And boy do they make pizzas! The list 

is endless with savory ingredients that will transport you to Italy. 

There is an Eggplant Parmesan pizza, Rabe and Sausage pizza, 

a Prosciutto pizza with baby arugula drizzled with lemon, EVOO 

and shaved Romano, a BBQ Chicken pizza with fire roasted chicken, 

Bermuda onions and smoked mozzarella, Tenderloin pizza with 

roasted red peppers, rabes and shaved Romano and more. 

The homemade Lasagna is very popular with veal, beef short 

rib, Italian sausage and creamy ricotta. Also popular is their Grilled 

Branzino with roasted tomatoes, garlic and spinach, and Chicken 

Baciami with roasted peppers, straw mushrooms, a touch of scampi 

butter and penne pasta. 

What is an Italian restaurant without an ample and enticing Antipasto? 

Called Antipasto “La Tavola” it comes with soppressatta, 

Parma prosciutto, salami, Reggiano chunks, roasted peppers, provolone, 

buffalo mozzarella and tomato, imported olives and marinated 

olives. 

There are also pasta dishes to tantalize your sense. The Chef Special 

Pasta comes with grilled shrimp, portobello mushrooms, tomatoes, 

asparagus, cannellini beans and house made cavatelli pasta. 

Their Fettuccine Bolognese with veal, pork, short rib and is simmered 

in their homemade sauce. 

They also have 3-course Sunset Dinners – from 4pm to 6pm 

Sunday to Thursday, and Happy Hour from 4pm to 7pm every day. 

Thursdays from 5pm to 9pm is All You Can Eat Stone Crab dinners. 

Baciami will customize a catering menu for you and has an extensive 

wine list with wines from small wineries across Italy. Baciami 

has private rooms and dining options for 25 to 150 guests. You can 

also rent the entire restaurant. 

Their slogan says it best: “We have Spectacular Food, Service and 

Ambience!”

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

Are New Year Resolutions 

Good For My Pet Too? 

It’s another New Year and as we all reflect on our own resolutions, 

the top priority is to get healthier. This goal is not only for us but 

also should include our pets. In reviewing the trends, influences 

and improvements that have advanced over the past year, several beliefs 

are becoming more evident in order to accomplish this. 

The interest in more natural approaches such as health through 

nutrition, herbs, botanicals, homeopathy and other non-invasive and 

non-synthetic pharmaceutical approaches have been gaining speed. 

The variety of new products, foods, supplements and services has 

grown exponentially to fuel this interest. While this expansion in the 

market increases awareness, it can create stress as to the best approach 

to follow. In addition, much of the information is provided 

by non-qualified professionals, so conflicts and confusion can occur. 

The medical and veterinary industry are schooled in the allopathic 

philosophy, meaning that only FDA approved pharmaceutical drugs, 

therapies and surgery are the acceptable means of treating disease 

symptoms. Some of these methods can be risky, have added side effects 

and are designed primarily for symptom management, not curing 

or prevention. 

A more naturopathic approach is to start with nutrition that is 

specific to the individual. This is the fuel to maintain cellular health. 

Species appropriate foods are what animals would eat naturally in 

the wild and it is based on the physiology of that species. 

Our dogs and cats are carnivores, prey animals of which by nature’s 

design, can efficiently metabolize animal-based nutrients. 

Meat diets for them are often disparaged as “all protein” foods but 

the truth is all living beings need diversity through the natural blend 

of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and water that they are designed 

to use. In the wild, they would achieve this by consuming most of 

a prey’s carcass. They instinctively know that a carcass provides all 

different cuts of meats including bones and organs which are packed 

with the bioavailable vitamins, minerals, fats, hydration and other 

nutrients that they need. 

In addition, we look at herbs and botanical material as another 

component. In nature, most carnivores do not eat vegetables, fruits, 

or grains as they are very difficult for them to digest. Meanwhile our 

domestic pets will eat and even crave some of these foods. Puzzled? 

Cravings are usually a symptom of an imbalance of nutrients. 

This imbalance created from the ingestion of inappropriate foods 

can cause the body to treat this digestion in an unnatural way creating 

challenges such as diabetes, pancreatitis, allergies, gastric issues 

and more. In nature, herbs and botanicals are present in the water 

they drink from streams, lakes, ponds and puddles. 

So, our answer is yes, resolutions should also apply to your pets. 

The 2020 resolutions for pets and humans alike are to provide the 

best foods and products available. Provide your pet with the most 

natural choices that you would give yourself! This will help in preventing 

the onset of disease and can also rebalance a dysfunctional 

health system.

Pet Deli in Pompano Beach, FL, and co-hosts of the PetHealthCafe.com radio 

show. Our 40 years in the animal field has provided us unparalleled vision and
