Thank You 

Delray 

During this time of uncertainty and concern, all of 

us at Atlantic Ave Magazine would like to humbly 

say “Thank You.” We appreciate the loyalty of our 

small business advertisers - that through thick and 

thin have always stayed with us. We appreciate our 

readers, who without you, there is no us. 

Delray Beach is a special place. We are a community, a family. 

A pedestrian Village by the Sea that welcomes everyone year-round, 

from near and far, to enjoy our little piece of paradise. 

Now, as we navigate through this worldwide pandemic, we need to 

come together, help each other, be supportive of all our small businesses 

in any way possible, look out for our elderly and underserved, and be 

the best possible humans we can be. For the sake of Delray. For the sake 

of Florida. For the sake of America. The sake of our Planet. 

Please practice Social Distancing, Self-Quarantine, and Stay In Place. 

Our first responders, hospitals, and doctors need our help. We need to 

be socially responsible, sanitize, and stay healthy. A large problem we 

are facing is asymptomatic people unknowingly spreading this scary 

Coronavirus. 

Reconnect with a book, re-watch favorite movies and tv series. Maybe 

put pen to paper and write a note or a letter to someone you miss and 

love. Practice self-love and stretch, meditate, breathe… 

We will get through this – together. 

There is 

hope after 

despair, 

and many 

suns after 

darkness. 

— Rumi 

Love, Yvette Birdsong, David & Lisa Mizen

George Gann was 

Featured Speaker at 

Delray Chamber’s 

Nonprofit Council 

George Gann speaking at Delray Beach Chamber’s Nonprofit Council 

George Gann, Chief Conservation Strategist for the Institute 

for Regional Conservation (IRC), was the featured speaker at 

the recent Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit Luncheon. 

IRC is a nonprofit dedicated to the protection, restoration, 

and long-term management of ecological diversity. 

Mr. Gann spoke to all of the nonprofit representatives about 

IRC’s history, current projects like Restoring the Gold Coast and 

urged attendees to personally get involved with restoring biodiversity. 

“Native ecosystems provide a wide range of benefits, including 

habitat for native wildlife and rare plants, and ecosystem 

services that people rely on for strong economies and human 

wellbeing,” said Mr. Gann. “Ecological restoration practice is 

about repairing native ecosystems that have been destroyed or 

degraded by misuse.” 

Delray Affair 2020: 

Cancelled 

The Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce announced 

today that the 58th Annual Delray Affair scheduled for April 

3, 4 and 5 has been cancelled. 

Governor DeSantis held a press conference recommending 

that all municipalities consider limiting or postponing major 

events, “I am recommending local municipalities and private 

entities to strongly consider limiting or postponing mass gatherings 

in the state of Florida,” the governor said. “This is an 

opportunity, our health officials believe, where some of these 

large-scale events can be postponed and do it later.” 

“This event is near and dear to everyone’s heart in Delray 

continued page 12 




Beach and it was so hard to make this call,” said Stephanie Immelman, 

CEO. “In the coming weeks the community can look 

to the Delray Beach Chamber for information about best practices 

to keep commerce flowing despite this economic setback.” 

The Delray Chamber reminds everyone that the Florida Department 

of Health has established a dedicated Coronavirus 

call center at 1-866-779-6121 that is available 24 hours a day 

seven days a week, as well as a dedicated email address at CO- 

VID-19@flhealth.gov which the public can use for questions or 

clarifications on issues related to the coronavirus.

Above & Beyond Award 

Winner from Roots & Wings! 

Theo Wiles 

think most teachers entering the profession, do so as a selfless 

act. They know that they may need to dig into their own 

“I 

pockets or search for funds on a regular basis to enhance the 

lessons they deliver with supplemental materials not provided 

by their school districts. I had heard from colleagues about your 

wonderful organization, how they surprise teachers/staff with 

goody bags filled with all kinds of goodies, gift cards etc. The gift 

bag I received was a jaw dropper. I was amazed at how much it 

contained. Most importantly was the sincere message of gratitude 

I received from Roots and Wings. It felt so good to feel appreciated. 

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for 

your gratitude. In so many words, I appreciate you, appreciating 

me. Keep up the great work!” – Theo Wiles. 





Crane’s Beach 

House Announces 

Discounted 

Extended Stay 

Options for 

Stranded Area 

Visitors 

“No Contact” Guest Service Process 

and Heightened Precautionary 

Measures 

Crane’s Beach House Boutique Hotel & 

Luxury Villas has announced that it will 

offer affordable extended and long-term 

stay options for their large kitchenette studios 

and apartment-style one bedroom 

suites, in an effort to support destination 

visitors who have been displaced, wish to 

avoid return travel, or are attempting to stay 

away from public spaces during this time of 

heightened precaution. 

The 28-room luxury boutique property 

has introduced unseasonably reduced rates 

to ensure South Florida visitors are provided 

safe, sanitary and affordable options 

for accommodations. These extended and 

long-term stay rates will be offered through 

the summer, based on availability. All food 

and beverage including our complimentary 

breakfast and poolside tiki bar have been 

discontinued as a precautionary measure 

to keep our staff and guests safe. Please call 

our front desk at 561.278.1700 for pricing, 

availability and more information. 

In addition to its current offerings, 

Crane’s has instituted substantial measurements 

to safeguard guests while the threat 

of exposure to COVID-19 remains of heightened 

concern in the country. This includes 

a “no contact” guest relations process that 

ensures all guests can continue to receive 

personal attention and servicing needs 

without ever coming into direct contact 

with property staff. The process includes 

remote check in and check out, entry-free 

amenity deliveries, and room servicing and 

resupplying only when guests are outside 

of the room. 

14 | april 2020 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

As for its safety precautions, the property 

uses only CDC-approved grade cleaning 

products and techniques, has increased 

the availability of hand sanitizers 

and frequent hand washing of staff, guests 

and visitors, is more frequently cleaning 

and sanitizing surfaces, door knobs, handrails 

and other areas, and is sanitizing 

restrooms, kitchens and other facilities 

throughout the day.

Institute for 

Regional 

Conservation 

Receives Grant 

Volunteers from Atlantic High School 

at coastal restoration field trip 

The Institute for Regional Conservation 

(IRC), a nonprofit dedicated to the protection, 

restoration, and long-term management 

of ecological diversity, received 

a $1,000 individual Volunteer for Good 

grant from the New York Life Foundation. 

The grant recognizes the volunteer service 

of John Campanola, Agent with New York 

Life’s South Florida General Office in Sunrise, 

who has been a volunteer with the IRC 

for over five years and is serving on their 

Board of Directors. 

The grant was used to support a recent 

coastal restoration field trip of Earth Science 

students from Atlantic Community 

High School. Students learned about restoring 

coastal biodiversity firsthand by 

helping IRC add Saw palmetto, Myrsine, 

Florida privet and Spanish stopper plants 

into the dunes. Students also worked to 

remove nonnative asparagus fern while 

learning about the root nodules full of water 

that make this plant so invasive. Additionally, 

students picked up trash from the 

beach focusing on micro-plastics, which 

continued page 16



are particularly harmful to marine wildlife. 

Mr. Campanola states, “New York Life Foundation’s Volunteer 

for Good grants support the community-based efforts of 

New York Life agents like myself. It is my honor to be working 

with such a worthy nonprofit as the IRC, and we will continue 

to support the good works they are doing in the community. 

New York Life and its agents and employees share a belief that 

we not only have the ability, but a responsibility to help others 

Be Good At Life.”

15 Days to Slow 

the Spread 

White House Coronavirus Task Force 

issued new guidelines to help protect 

Americans during the global Coronavirus 

outbreak. 

The new recommendations are simple 

to follow but will have a resounding impact 

on public health. Every American can 

help slow the virus’ spread and keep our 

most high-risk populations safe: 

1. Listen to and follow the directions of 

your state and local authorities. 

2. If you feel sick, stay home. Do not go 

to work. Contact your medical provider. 

3. If your children are sick, keep them 

at home. Contact your medical provider. 

4. If someone in your household has 

tested positive for the Coronavirus, keep 

the entire household at home. 

5. If you are an older American, stay 

home and away from other people. 

6. If you are a person with a serious 

underlying health condition—such as a 

significant heart or lung problem—stay 

home and away from other people. 

Today’s guidelines build on the CDC’s 

general recommendations to help prevent 

spread of the virus. Americans 

should continue practicing strict personal 

hygiene, including washing hands 

regularly for at least 20 seconds at a time 

and wiping down surfaces in the home 

often. 

Even if you are young and otherwise 

healthy, you are at risk—and your activities 

can increase the risk of contracting 

the Coronavirus for others. Everyone 

must do their part. 

There’s no better way to protect your 

family and your community than by arming 

yourself with accurate, up-to-date information.

IRS Extends Tax 

Deadline 

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced 

that tax day will be delayed from 

April 15 to July 15. He made the announcement 

on Twitter, days after announcing a deferral 

on tax payments but not on filing day. 

“All taxpayers and businesses will have this 

additional time to file and make payments without 

interest or penalties,” Mnuchin tweeted. 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell 

had also announced that, as part of the House 

GOP plan for a next round of economic stimulus, 

he wanted to delay the tax deadline. 

McConnell’s bill also included provisions to 

allow individuals making payments to postpone 

them even further, until October 15. 

On March 10, Democratic lawmakers on 

the Ways and Means Committee sent a letter 

to the IRS to find out more about any changes 

for the filing season. “We request your continued 

evaluation of whether there is any 

need to extend the tax filing season beyond 

the April 15 deadline,” they wrote at the time. 

As recently as Tuesday, the White House 

had detailed how taxpayers would be able 

to defer tax payments but said that tax day 

itself would stay the same. “All you have to do 

is file your taxes; you’ll automatically not get 

charged interest in penalties,” Mnuchin said 

during that coronavirus briefing. 

Taxpayers may be able to get a further extension 

with a form 4868, which in normal 

years gives taxpayers until October 15 to file 

a return. It was not immediately clear how 

the delay in tax day would change the extension 

process. 

Tax refunds 

What remains unchanged after Friday’s 

announcement is that taxpayers who expect 

a refund can file right now and get their payments 

once the return is processed. 

In a follow-up tweet, the Treasury Secretary 

encouraged taxpayers to do just that.

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 April for $50 or less. 

We’ve all learned a little bit about ourselves with social distancing, 

good or bad. While this time has been difficult because of the 

unknowns and whys and hows, it’s also an opportunity to take 

a step back and reflect on focusing something we all can manage a little 

better: our inner health. April is Physical Wellness Month and is a perfect 

time (while being or having been cooped up indoors) to look at fitness differently. 

That is, to realize that you don’t need a gym or special equipment 

to take care of your body! All you need is a sweet little playlist, a little bit 

of room to move around, and a creative spirit. If you have a yoga mat or a 

towel, and a computer, you can find numerous yoga workouts on YouTube, 

which range from the type of workout in which you’re interested (Yin is my 

personal fav), and the amount of time you have. If you prefer a little more 

action, no problem! There’s a fantastic chance that you have everything you 

need in your house for a great heart-pumping workout. If you have noncarpeted 

floors, grab two hand towels (one for each hand), get in a plank 

position, and slide one hand away from you at a time, hold, and bring back 

in. This will certainly get your core in tip top shape. Or, grab a stack of magazines 

and do some squats or lunges. Don’t forget about the good ol’ pushup, 

which can be done on a flat surface or an 

uneven surface, by placing one hand at a 

time on a low chair or step stool. Or, take 

this opportunity to practice or learn how 

to meditate. There are a host of ways to 

practice and fine tune your physical wellness 

this month, and hopefully it’ll carry 

over into a lifestyle change for many 

months to come! 

Even though our local version of the nationwide Great American 

Cleanup event, Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful beach cleanup, has 

been canceled due to the Coronavirus, we can still do our part! April 

is Keep America Beautiful Month and is a great time to still get outdoors and 

take the very best care of our planet. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary 

of Earth Day, everyone (not in groups, though!) is encouraged to remove 

litter and illegal dumping from our public spaces, which includes neighborhoods, 

roadways, waterways, parks, schools, etc. If you have a green thumb, 

you can even coordinate with your local HOA or community improvement 

agency to host a small tree planting, recycle event, painting over graffiti or 

run-down building effort, or more. There is a great opportunity to demonstrate 

your individual responsibility for taking care of our planet by joining 

in this nationwide effort to make our neighborhoods and public spaces a 

more beautiful, safe, sustainable and enjoyable place to live, work and play! 

If you’re not sure where to start, pay attention to your single-use plastic and 

recycling efforts at home, and then head outside in your immediate neighborhood 

and see where you can do your part. Even bringing along a bag 

with you for your next get-me-out-of-the-house walk and picking up litter 

will make a great difference, especially if you encourage your friends and 

fellow community members to do the same on their walks! Visit www.keeppbcbeautiful.org 

for more information about the Great American Cleanup. 

Let’s be honest, there’s only so much Netflix, Hulu and TV that you can 

watch during this time of quarantining and post-quarantining. Good 

news for us that in the land of 2020, most businesses are offering digital 

resources for you to stay connected. One of my personal favorites is the 

library! April is Library Snapshot Month and while the library isn’t back in 

its full swing of offerings, you can still access all you’d 

like online. Virtual resources include e-books, e- 

audiobooks and e-magazines; music, TV and movies 

via Hoopla, a digital entertainment service; 

eLearning with the help of the Brainfuse HelpNow 

free, easy and intuitive platform; tonline job assistance, 

including the opportunity to practice your interview 

skills, get resume help and research nationwide local 

job search engines with Brainfuse JobNow; attend virtual meetings with

Brainfuse Meet; learn a new language with Mango Languages; practice 

your schoolwork and receive homework help for free, live and on-demand 

online tutoring, practice tests and more with Brainfuse Learn- 

Now; and more! As you can see, the library is brought digitally to you, 

wherever you are and whenever you need it, with complete access at 

your fingertips. All you need to access these virtual resources is your 

library card number and your four-digit PIN number. Technology at 

its finest! Visit www.delraylibrary.org to learn more and chat with a 

library team member if you have any questions. 

Gimme the cheese, 

please! There’s 

almost nothing 

better than a 

fantastic sandwich, 

unless it’s a fantastic 

sandwich that is dishing 

out ooey, gooey and melty cheese. 

April is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich 

Month and is a great time to either fall in love with cheese again or 

fire up your already deep love affair. Instead of trying to find a restaurant 

that’s open and can fill your fix, take inspiration from a local 

menu and make your best grilled cheese in your own kitchen. If you’re 

looking for a one-and-done location, look no further than Beer Trade 

Co. Try and recreate their fancy BBQ & Bacon grilled cheese, which 

is made with applewood smoked bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar 

cheese and barbecue sauce on Italian bread, or the vegetarian Caprese, 

with fresh mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes topped with fresh 

basil and a homemade balsamic reduction Italian bread. You can go 

grilled cheese rogue and try to make their Big Kahuna, with grilled 

pineapple, roasted ham, pepper jack cheese and sweet red pepper relish 

on Texas toast, or the Cuban, with slow roasted pork, fresh sliced 

ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Italian bread. While those 

might be a great few options with which to start, it’s also fun to get 

creative with whatever you have in your fridge! No tomatoes? Sub in 

roasted red peppers. Don’t have pepper jack cheese? Cheddar or Swiss 

or brie might work! The good news is that you can recreate until your 

stomach’s content. Bon appetit! 

Whether you’re young or old or somewhere in between, there 

are many reasons to love Spring. Starting the day with a sunrise 

service with your family members is always special, an 

egg hunt makes the most out of your hide and seek skills, and a Sunday 

brunch or dinner hits all the delicious food notes. Since we’re still 

dealing with the effects of the Coronavirus and our previously planned 

activities are canceled, we’ll just have to recreate the holiday weekend 

as best we can! Start with watching the sunrise service with your mom 

and family (always a great way to start the day for me) and a glass 

of champagne (second best way to start the day!) in your backyard. 

Bonus points if you can find a service on YouTube to listen to. Then, 

sneak about hiding the eggs for any kiddos in the family. They’ll get a 

kick out of spending the first part of the day searching for their goodies, 

and then the next bit enjoying their find. When you’re ready, put 

on the apron and join together to make brunch or prepare for dinner! 

Regardless if you’re a ham, hot cross buns and deviled eggs type of 

family, or you make your own menu based on family favorites, the best 

part about it is spending time together creating a meal that you’ll also 

enjoy together. The holiday weekends are best spent with those who 

mean the most to you, and even amidst all the uncertainty and social 

distancing as of late, every minute is best celebrated with love.

The ‘Families First’ Coronavirus Aid 

Package Approved 

President Trump signed a second 

coronavirus emergency 

aid package into law March 

18, after it passed with overwhelming 

support from the Senate. 

The legislation follows a first 

emergency funding bill, which allocated 

roughly $8 billion for coronavirus 

prevention, preparation and 

response efforts. 

The latest package, named 

the Families First Coronavirus 

Response Act, responds to the 

growing health and economic 

crises with provisions for paid sick 

leave, free testing and expanded 

unemployment benefits. 

Each of the agencies getting 

funding must give a report on how 

the money has been used within 

the next month. 

Here’s a breakdown of what the 

act includes. 

Free testing 

The legislation seeks to make 

testing for the coronavirus free 

to the public (without having to 

use deductibles or copayments). 

It includes a variety of waivers in 

order for testing costs to be covered 

by either insurance or government 

programs. 

Additionally, it includes a 

temporary 6.2% increase in federal 

payments to Medicaid for states. 

The Children’s Health Insurance 

Program, for low-income children, 

will include temporary coverage of 

diagnostic products. 

An additional $60 million will 

go to the Department of Veterans 

Affairs for testing veterans, $64 

million to the Indian Health Service 

for testing members of Native 

American tribes and $1 billion to the 

National Disaster Medical System 

for reimbursing testing costs for 

those without health insurance. 

Paid sick leave 

The bill establishes a federal 

emergency paid-leave benefits 

program to provide payments to 

some employees. 

It requires employers with fewer 

than 500 employees to provide two 

weeks’ worth of paid sick leave if 

employees are unable to work because 

they’re subject to quarantine 

or isolation, are experiencing 

symptoms of COVID–19, are caring 

for someone who is in quarantine 

or isolation and/or have children 

in schools that have closed. 

Employers themselves will 

receive tax credits to offset the 

costs of providing this paid leave. 

Under the legislation, an employer 

cannot require employees 

to find a replacement worker for 

themselves or require them to use 

other paid time off. 

For those who are self-employed, 

there will be a tax credit equivalent 

to the sick leave amount. 

The legislation also gives up to 

three months of paid family and 

medical leave, equivalent to no less 

than two-thirds of the person’s pay. 

Unemployment aid 

The legislation boosts unemployment 

benefits, with nearly $1 

billion in state grants to cover processing 

and paying unemployment 

insurance. 

It also raises the amount of 

assistance to states with high 

unemployment for those who have 

exhausted benefits already. 

Nutrition assistance 

Nearly a billion dollars is being 

given to provide access to meals for 

those without food security. Half 

that amount will go toward funding 

for the Special Supplemental Nutrition 

Program for Women, Infants, 

and Children, also known as WIC. 

Another $400 million is allocated 

for an emergency food assistance 

program that will be available 

through September 30, 2021. 

Certain households will be 

eligible for help if a child’s school 

has been closed because of the 

health crisis. 

The legislation allows certain 

waivers in order to expand who 

qualifies for benefits through the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program and suspends the program’s 

work requirements. 

An additional $100 million will 

be set aside for nutrition assistance 

grants for U.S. territories (Northern 

Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and 

American Samoa).

Shame On You 

by Amy Heydenrych 

Released April 1st 

Have you ever wanted to reinvent yourself? 

Have you ever lied about who 

you are to get more likes? Have you ever 

followed someone online who you think 

is perfect? Meet Holly. Social media sensation. 

The face of clean eating. Everyone 

loves her. Everyone wants to be her. But 

when Holly is attacked by a man she’s 

only just met, her life starts to spiral out of 

control. He seemed to know her - but she 

doesn’t know him. What if Holly isn’t who 

she seems to be? What if Holly’s living a lie? 

Readhead by the 

Side of the Road 

by Anne Tyler 

Released April 7th 

From the beloved and best-selling 

Anne Tyler, a sparkling new novel 

about misperception, second chances, 

and the sometimes-elusive power of human 

connection. 

Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A 

self-employed tech expert, superintendent 

of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious 

to a fault behind the steering wheel, 

he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed 

life. But one day his routines are 

blown apart when his woman friend (he 

refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a 

“girlfriend”) tells him she’s facing eviction, 

and a teenager shows up at Micah’s door 

claiming to be his son. These surprises, and 

the ways they throw Micah’s meticulously 

organized life off-kilter, risk changing him 

forever. An intimate look into the heart and 

mind of a man who finds those around him 

just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply 

compassionate story about seeing the 

world through new eyes, “Redhead by the 

Side of the Road” is a triumph, filled with 

Anne Tyler’s signature wit and gimlet-eyed 

observation. 

Truths I Never 

Told You 

by Kelly Rimmer 


From the bestselling author of “The 

Things We Cannot Say” comes a poignant 

post-WWII novel that explores the 

expectations society places on women 

set within an engrossing family mystery 

that may unravel everything once believed 

to be true. 

With her father recently moved to a care 

facility, Beth Walsh volunteers to clear out 

the family home and is surprised to discover 

the door to her childhood playroom padlocked. 

She’s even more shocked at what’s 

behind it - a hoarder’s mess of her father’s 

paintings, mounds of discarded papers and 

miscellaneous junk in the otherwise fastidiously 

tidy house. 

As she picks through the clutter, she finds 

a loose journal entry in what appears to be 

her late mother’s handwriting. Beth and 

her siblings grew up believing their mother 

died in a car accident when they were little 

more than toddlers, but this note suggests 

something much darker. 

Beth soon pieces together a disturbing 

portrait of a woman suffering from postpartum 

depression and a husband who 

bears little resemblance to the loving father 

Beth and her siblings know. With a 

newborn of her own and struggling with 

motherhood, Beth finds there may be more 

tying her, and her mother together than she 

ever suspected. 

Sunrise On 

Half Moon Bay 

by Robyn Carr 


Sometimes the happiness we’re looking 

for has been there all along… 

Adele and Justine have never been 

close. Born twenty years apart, Justine 

was already an adult when Addie was 

born. The sisters love each other but they 

don’t really know each other. 

When Addie dropped out of university 

to care for their ailing parents, Justine, a 

successful lawyer, covered the expenses. 

It was the best arrangement at the time 

but now that their parents are gone, the 

future has changed dramatically for both 

women. 

Addie had great plans for her life but 

has been worn down by the pressures of 

being a caregiver and doesn’t know how 

to live for herself. And Justine’s success 

has come at a price. Her marriage is falling 

apart despite her best efforts. 

Neither woman knows how to start life 

over, but both realize they can and must 

support each other the way only sisters 

can. Together they find the strength to 

accept their failures and overcome their 

challenges. Happiness is within reach, if 

only they have the courage to fight for it. 

Set in the stunning coastal town of Half 

Moon Bay, California, Robyn Carr’s new 

novel examines the joys of sisterhood and 

the importance of embracing change.

Taking Charge! 

Your health is important, because it is yours. You have heard the 

mantra, you only get one body, so you must take care of it. From where 

I am standing, that is quite true. There are a lot of factors that go into 

your health, but one factor that we have total control of is choice. 

We choose to eat poorly. We choose to work out or not. We 

choose to live life in front of the computer or television. 

These choices, like all others, have repercussions. Being 

sedentary is a choice and living with the effects of that lifestyle is 

your choice. 

What you have to understand is that when you seek out help, 

you’re seeking out not only the healthcare professional, the personal 

trainer, or nutritionist, but you are seeking them out for their 

knowledge, experience and insight to your problem. Again, you are 

at the crossroads of choice. You can choose to accept what they are 

telling you, or not. One of these choices is going to require work. 

Once you have made the decision to take charge of your health, 

get rid of pain, get in shape, or whatever your situation calls for, 

your next step is to assemble your team. My team? Yes, you are going 

to need a team of people who can help you. Is it possible to do 

things on your own, to help yourself? Absolutely! However, what is 

the cost? When you were in school, you were taught by a teacher 

to learn something new, at which point you learned the skill and 

from there apply that skill into your life. However, that does not go 

for everything, you can’t adjust yourself, and do your own blood 

work, but you can do the exercises you’ve learned at home, stretch 

yourself, and start eating right all on your own. 

Your team. Your team should be comprised of people whom you 

trust, people you vibe well with. Building that rapport with your 

healthcare providers is important. Question them! If they are not 

willing to take the time to teach you, are they really the right provider 

for you? A good provider will also question you and your choices, 

they will push you to make changes, think outside the box for you, 

but most importantly they will put their egos aside to help you find 

the best solution to your problems. Even if it means you going outside 

their office to do so. The answer is not always a pill or a medication. 

The answer to a lot of problems just requires work and time. 

So, TAKE CHARGE! Make choices for your health that will push you 

past your comfort zone and into a place where you are no longer in pain 

and dysfunction. Take the dog for a walk, have a leisurely stroll with 

your significant other. Take charge! Make change! Live your best life!

health & beauty | body beautiful

Spring Clean Up! 

The hot weather is here, and bathing suit season is upon us. 

If you haven’t shed that extra layer yet, now is the time! I’m 

sure most of you are familiar with the layer I’m talking about. 

That “layer” from the holidays that you swore would be off in 

time for summer. It’s never too late to get that body in gear! 

Here are some tips to kick-start your spring and have you 

feeling ready for that summer wardrobe! 

The first and most component of shedding that unwanted 

layer is nutrition. Keeping a daily food log of exactly everything 

that you are consuming is highly recommended… 

the good the bad and the ugly! This will help you easily 

pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. Be brutally 

honest and make sure to write it ALL down! 

Next, try your best to eliminate processed foods 

from your diet and stick to 70-80% homemade 

prepared meals (yes,…you can do it!). Food 

prep is 100% essential in helping you reach 

your goals! These meals should consist of 

lean proteins, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, 

fruit and of course lots of veggies. 

Having healthy food on hand at all times is 

a game changer. The other 

nutrition component is 

water! Your body won’t 

burn fat if it is dehydrated. 

It’s such a simple 

thing many people 

don’t do. Drinking 

proper amounts of 

water will also help 

to keep you feeling 

full, help flush out 

toxins and help decrease 

bloating! 

The second component is weight lifting. It 

has to be done…period. Weight lifting is essential 

to fat burning and your metabolism. 

The more muscle you have, the more calories 

your body will burn at rest. Ladies, I 

promise you will NOT get bulky from lifting 

more than five pounds. I compare 

weight training to a sculptor taking a 

piece of round clay molding it in to a nice 

shapely figured. That’s what real work 

does to your body. It gives your body the 

“shape” most are looking to achieve and 

that will not happen without picking up some sizable weights! I 

know a lot of people who think cardio alone will do this and that is 

the farthest thing from the truth. Although cardio has its time and 

place (more about that next) resistance training is essential. 

You should aim to get in 4-5 sessions a week, lasting no 

longer than 60 minutes. 

The last component is performing the right type of 

cardio. High Intensity Interval Training also known 

as HIIT is the fastest and most effective way to 

decrease your body fat and show off all the resistance 

training that you’ve been doing. The 

best thing about this type of cardio is that 

you don’t need more than 20-30 minutes 

per day. The days of super long and slow 

cardio sessions are OVER! HIIT will keep 

your body burning calories for hours after 

your actual session. This type of training 

involves alternating between intense 

bouts of exercise followed by low intensity 

exercise. If you’re a beginner, you 

may want to start with a 1:1 work ratio. 

One minute on, one minute off. HIIT can 

be performed anywhere…. outside using 

sprints or stairs, on the treadmill, at 

the beach etc. Depending on what your 

goals are and what your body fat is, aim 

to perform HIIT cardio 2-3 times per 

week. If you’re performing it correctly, 

that’s all you’ll need. 

Take these 3 components of 

eating clean (do that food prep!) 

weight training, and proper cardio 

and you’ll be summer ready in no 

time. There’s no better way to welcome 

the summer heat than with a 

healthy, more confident you.

The Facts About 

Coronavirus 

COVID-19 

By Darien Davies 

If you’re watching, listening to or engaging in TV programs, social media 

posts, personal conversations, podcasts and radio programs, you certainly 

know that everything is all about the Coronavirus. Even though we have 

information overload, there’s still a large amount of uncertainty about 

what we know, what we do tomorrow, and where do we go from here? So, 

let’s get back to the basics. 

What is the Coronavirus? 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Coronaviruses 

(CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging 

from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East 

Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory 

Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Sound familiar? The newest strain, Coronavirus 

disease (COVID-19), was discovered in 2019 and has not 

been previously identified in humans. Coronaviruses are zoonotic, 

meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. While 

SARS was transmitted from civet cats to humans, and MERS from 

dromedary camels to humans, the source of COVID-19 has yet to 

be confirmed. 

How is COVID-19 Spread and What are the 

Signs and Symptoms? 

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The 

WHO states that the disease can spread from person to person 

through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are most 

often spread when a person with the virus coughs or exhales. These 

droplets then land on objects and surfaces around the person, giving 

the opportunity for other people to touch those objects or surfaces 

and then touch their eyes, mouth or nose. People can also 

catch the virus if they breathe in the exhaled droplets, which is why 

it’s so important to practice social distancing. 

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reported 

illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness 

and death. Symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure, 

and can include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Emergency 

warning signs include having trouble breathing, persistent pain or 

pressure in the chest, new confusion or inability to arouse, and bluish 

lips or face. Please note that this list of symptoms is not inclusive 

and it’s best to reach out to your medical provider for any other 

symptoms you might have that are severe or concerning. 

The Mayo Clinic states that those who have recently traveled from 

or live in an area with an ongoing community spread of COVID-19, 

or those who have come in close contact with someone who has 

COVID-19, are at increased risk for contracting the virus. Serious 


complications from the virus can include pneumonia in both lungs, 

organ failure in several organs, or death. Older adults, or anyone 

who already has a severe underlying medical condition (diabetes, 

heart disease, lung disease, etc.) are at greater risk. 

What is Social Distancing? 

Social distancing is the effort to deliberately increase the physical 

space between people with a goal to avoid spreading the illness. 

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, the goal is to stay at least six 

feet away from other people, which will help to lessen your chances 

of catching COVID-19. While there is some confusion about what 

exactly social distancing is and how often you need to practice it, a 

good rule of thumb is: practice it always, until informed otherwise. 

Gov. Ron DeSantis recently passed a measure for all restaurants, 

bars, nightclubs, beaches, public parks, and non-essential businesses, 

to close their doors, reducing the opportunity people have 

to gather. 

Additionally, many people are working from home instead of the 

office, children are being homeschooled, classes are held online, all 

large events (including weddings, festivals and parades) are canceled 

or postponed, and visitation with loved ones has gone virtual. 

How Do I Protect Against Getting the 

Coronavirus? 

As of now, there is no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, so it’s important 

to do your part to help stop the spread of the virus. Standard 

measures include regular hand washing (for 20 seconds with soap 

and water or an alcohol-based hand rub), covering your mouth and 

nose when coughing and sneezing, maintaining a distance of six 

feet from those around you, and thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. 

It’s also recommended to avoid close contact with anyone showing 

symptoms of respiratory illness - such as coughing and sneezing - 

and to quarantine yourself should you experience any symptoms 

or have come into contact with anyone who has tested positive for 

COVID-19. Make sure to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. 

What are the Current U.S. Stats? 

The most current figures at the time of print show there are 

15,219 total cases in the U.S. and 201 total deaths. This data includes 

both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 

reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020, with the 

exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United 

States from Wuhan, China and Japan. Of the total cases, 337 are 

travel related, 321 are from close contact, and 14,561 are under 

investigation. While the outbreak originated in China, Italy has now 

become the deadliest center for the COVID-19 outbreak and has 

surpassed China with total number of deaths. 

The most important take-away is that everyone MUST do their 

part to prevent the spread of this highly contagious, potentially fatal 

(for some) virus. 

If you’re not feeling well, stay home. If you think you’ve come 

in contact with someone is who ill or who has tested positive for 

COVID-19, stay home and self-quarantine. Businesses that provide 

essential roles to our daily lives, including healthcare facilities and 

grocery stores, are open to provide us with basic necessities, but 

we should only use these services if we must. Make as few trips to 

the store or out to businesses as you can, and limit sharing your 

space with others (healthy or otherwise). The sooner the spread of 

the virus is managed, the sooner our country can focus on healing 

and getting back to normal.

Advanced Technology to 

Check Your Moles 

By Siperstein Dermatology Group | photos by melissa korman 

The most innovative digital mole mapping and 

artificial intelligence tracking analysis is now 

available at Siperstein Dermatology Group. 

Patients always ask us: how do you know which spots to pay 

attention to during a skin exam…why that one? Of course 

it has to do with experience, but we also use a tool called 

a dermatoscope, and Siperstein Dermatology Group now has full 

body photography with artificial intelligence coming soon to identify 

changes in the skin. Technology is sometimes a beautiful thing! 

Dermagraphix mole mapping (whole body photography) and 

tracking analysis uses a high-resolution professional camera and 

advanced software to map a patient’s entire skin surface, creating 

a photographic baseline of all of his/her moles. Using this digital 

mole map, dermatologists at Siperstein Dermatology Group can 

more easily spot new moles and moles that are rapidly changing 

–one of the possible signs of melanoma. 

Mole Mapping is used in most of the melanoma clinics in university 

hospitals and cancer centers to capture baseline images of 

moles in high-risk patients. However, usually the physician is in 

charge of tracking of these moles at each visit to determine which 

moles are new and which may have changed. Now, in addition to 

Dr. Nestor and Jennifer Richter, PA-C using the new 

Dermagraphix technology to take full body mole mapping pictures. 

Dr. Nestor and Jennifer Richter, PA-C 

evaluating a magnified dermoscopy picture of a mole 

the trained eye of the dermatologist, we will have the technology to 

use Artificial Intelligence to track these subtle changes. The powerful 

DermaGraphix system, which is in use at Sloan-Kettering, is now 

only available at a few private practices in the United States. In fact, 

Siperstein Dermatology is the only private practice in Florida, and 

actually the entire Southeast, that will be able to employ Artificial 

Intelligence to be able to track changes to patients’ moles. 

“Melanoma, when found early, is curable. However, if detection 

is delayed, it can be fatal,” said Robyn Siperstein, MD founder of 

Siperstein Dermatology Group. “Baseline mole-mapping and AI 

analysis not only helps to detect melanoma much earlier, but has 

also been found in studies to reduce the number of biopsies needed.” 

The doctors at Siperstein Dermatology Group are excited to 

use this technology to continue to take great care of their patients 

and save lives. 

We sat down with the Board Certified Dermatologists at Siperstein 

Dermatoogy group to answer some common question about 

this state-of-the-art technology. 


What is dermoscopy? 

Dermoscopy is the examination of the skin using a surface microscope 

to identify patterns that exist in skin cancer, especially melanomas. 

A dermatoscope is a handheld device (similar to a small 

flashlight with a magnifying glass) that your dermatologist can use 

during your full body skin check. A dermatoscope is used to analyze 

your skin lesions, helping to identify skin cancer as early as possible, 

when it is most easily cured. 

Who can benefit from dermoscopy? 

Everyone! Everyone has moles, and dermoscopy is especially 

useful for these lesions. It is also beneficial in people with a history 

of any kind of skin cancer, particularly melanoma. As mentioned, 

when in skilled hands, dermoscopy can help detect skin cancer 

at its earliest stage, which is paramount to treatment and good 

prognosis. It also helps us more easily identify benign skin lesions, 

which reduces the number of skin biopsies that we have do perform 

during your full body skin check. 

Is this a special exam, or part of my regular 

skin check? 

This is part of your regular skin exam! We have our dermatoscopes 

with us in our pockets ready to use when we see every patient. 

During your skin check, we use it to further examine any skin 

lesion that seems suspicious. It takes no additional time and is a 

wonderful tool to add an extra level of thoroughness to your exam.

Dr. Mackay-Wiggan using the HairMetrix, 

the first AI-driven, non-invasive hair consultation 

What is Dermagraphix total body photography 

and how can I benefit from it? 

We are the first practice in Florida to incorporate the Dermagraphix 

system into our practice. Total Body Photography is a 

series of pictures capturing the entire surface of the skin to document 

all of your moles. We will use the pictures at your subsequent 

examinations to identify any change in the size, color, or 

shape of your lesions or document new lesions. It also allows us 

to incorporate dermoscopy to capture magnified images of these 

lesions. Additionally, in the coming months, it will utilize artificial 

intelligence to identify changes in your skin between sets of photographs, 

which is extremely important in recognizing melanoma 

as early as possible. We are very excited about this new technology 

and are thrilled to have added a new device that will help us 

take even better care of our patients! 

What other state-of-the-art technology is 

available with this machine? 

We are also excited to introduce the HairMetrix. HairMetrix 

is the first AI-driven, non-invasive hair consultation solution that 

provides immediate measurements of hair, without pulling or 

clipping the hair and sending it to a lab! Our world-renowned 

hair loss expert, Dr. Julian Mackay-Wiggan is using this real-time 

analysis solution to develop appropriate treatment plans for her 

patients. Additionally, after treatments or procedures , such as 

PRP injections for hair loss, we can use this tool for objective outcome 

monitoring.

SAINT JOSEPH’S EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 

Embracing Learning, 

Love and Your Child 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

It’s natural for a child to enjoy play time and exciting new 

ventures. Yet, some schools are the last place a young person 

sees as an adventure to learn and explore. 

But that’s not the case at Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School in 

Boynton Beach. 

The school has two campuses – one for young children (six 

weeks to three-years-old) and the main campus for ages three to 8th 

grade. The common ground is rooted in the fundamentals of learning 

and nurturing children so they can reach their full potential. 

This is accomplished through small classrooms (average 13 to 20 

students) with a teacher ratio of about one teacher per eight students. 

But it’s not just the small individualized education they get, 

it’s the quality of education and experiential learning they receive 

on a daily basis. 

The mission at Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School is to fundamentally 

nurture the whole child. 

“We nurture and enlighten the whole child with a focus on spirituality, 

science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (S- 

S.T.E.A.M.). We also foster collaboration, critical thinking, and 21st century 

skills,” said Kyle Aubrey, Head of Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School. 

Children begin their educational journey within this comprehensive 

curriculum. 

Classes are uniquely different than many schools. The reason is 

simply that learning at St. Joe’s is fun and engaging with teachers 

who are dedicated and embrace their mission. 

Academics are at the heart of St. Joe’s 

Each St. Joe’s student engages technology - the key to S-STEAM 

The teachers at St. Joe’s exude a selfless adoration of children that 

makes the children glow in their presence. Children are riveted by 

their teaching methods and hands-on approach to learning. 

All the teachers at St. Joe’s are kind and nurturing with a holistic 

approach to learning based on what is best for each child. 

For example, the music teacher has a colorful rack of ukuleles lined 

up for children to play, as well as xylophones, drums, a piano and 

recorders. Students are encouraged to grow and expand their love of 

music through the Orff Schulwork Approach, which emphasizes play 

based learning. 

If love makes the world go around, then it’s computers that keeps 

it on its axis. That is why St. Joe’s has a Smart Lab, with MAC computers 

and a Computer Lab with PCs. Learning is self-directed and mixes 

wonderment with wisdom. Using software as their guide they made 

Robots using Legos and wrote code to create musical instruments 

out of cardboard. 

They have a great technology program where the teacher is teaching 

the 5th grade about circuitry so they can create electricity via a computer 

to make music. The group is called Blessed Beats and the music 

was divinely ordained by young children having fun and learning. 

The art teacher is equally as engaging with a love for art and a way 

of bringing out the creative ability in each student. They’re making 


St. Joe’s students develop athletic skills in a structured and fun environment 

3-D sculptures out of packing tape, engraving metal plaques 

and challenged by different artistic mediums. 

There are outdoor facilities for athletics and meals as well 

as after school programs, tutoring, family activities and special 

events. They have movie nights, festivals and projects that teach 

students skills they need for a heightened learning experience. 

There is Business Day for the 5th grade that teaches them 

how to make a business proposal, raise money, use excel spread 

sheets to track profit and loss, and a showroom in the gym to sell 

their products. The 7th grade are planning a play about the Civil 

War and the 8th grade is putting together Greek Games reminiscent 

of the Olympics. There are concerts and creativity projects 

that engage and encourage each child’s curiosity and talent. 

Giving back and random acts of kindness are important themes 

at St. Joe’s. Children do community service in different events 

around the city, such as Empty Bowls, feeding the homeless, a pet 

supply drive, visiting the elderly and other charitable causes. 

The curriculum, programs and activities guide and nourish 

children to become healthy, confident, and responsible adults 

in preparation for High School. 

After 62 years of teaching children, St. Joe’s is doing a stellar 

job creating well-adjusted children who love learning and have 

skills to succeed in the best prep schools and beyond. 

“St. Joe’s is an exceptional atmosphere created for children 

to feel safe, learn, and have fun, along with the Christian values 

and practices being taught,” said one parent. 

Others agree: “The personal attention from dedicated teachers 

who really care about my daughter’s development have given 

her tools to be a very successful student in high school and 

university. They gave her opportunities to shine and develop a 

positive image of herself in sports and the arts.” 

A good education, safe environment, healthy mind, body and 

spirit are important components of educating children. 

St. Joe’s welcomes all nationalities and religions even though 

it is an Episcopalian School. 

Come and experience the wonders and excellence in education 

and character building at St. Joseph’s Episcopal School. 

This is the place where your child’s skills and gifts will be 

nurtured.

AZURE DEVELOPMENT 

Creating Dream Homes 

On Land And Sea 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

Brian Grossberg and Richard Caster put the “L” in 

Luxury for home buyers in Delray Beach. Their high-end 

residential and commercial projects have not only won 

awards from architectural and historical agencies, but 

they’ve also won accolades in the court of public opinion. 

Brian Grossberg, co-owner of Azure Development 

“We have 12 active projects right now - 11 homes and a 

commercial project. Everyone wants to live in Delray 

Beach because of its charm and walkable lifestyle,” 

said Brian Grossberg, co-owner of Azure Development. 

Grossberg not only grew up in a family in the real estate industry, 

but his history is one of legends. 

He was an Investment Professional at GE Equity (the private equity 

arm of General Electric), served on the Board of Directors of 

numerous companies and the Advisory Board of several venture 

capital firms. He also consulted on mergers and acquisitions and 

worked in Real Estate Tax Consulting for Price Waterhouse in Atlanta. 

He has an MBA from Duke University, where he graduated 

second in his class and was a Fuqua Scholar. 

Both Caster and Grossberg have 40 years of combined experience 

creating custom homes and commercial buildings that stand 

out for their bravado and beauty. They are currently finishing up 

Nick Bieber, director of construction 

two courtyard homes on NE 7th Avenue (215 and 219) that combine 

modernity and unparalleled luxury. Each home has a private 

gated motor court, large wrap-around private pool, ethereal garden, 

12-foot ceilings, all glass entry, natural stone and Zen sensibility. 

Homes are 5,366-total-square-feet. 

“Azure is creating an oasis setting in downtown Delray Beach. We 

use lush landscaping and are known for exceptional design, flawless 

finishes, sophisticated fixtures and superior craftsmanship all 

within walking distance to downtown Delray,” adds Grossberg. 

Their word is their legend. You know that’s true by the awards 

that keep piling up on their namesake. Two townhome projects, 

Delray Modern East and Delray Modern Intracoastal, received the 

Design Excellence Award of Honor from the Palm Beach Chapter of 

the American Institute of Architects. Both of these projects were 

designed in collaboration with architect Jeffrey Silberstein. 

One of their most personal projects – that won an award from the 


Caster, Grossberg and Bieber 

Kitchen in Delray Modern Intracoastal 

Florida Trust for Historic Preservation – is the Azure office. Located 

in the heart of Delray Beach on SE 6th Avenue, it was an abandoned 

65-year-old Chevy dealership. Azure took the eclectic structure 

and modernized it creating a viable and beautiful office space. “Our 

office is an example of the quality and vision that goes into every 

single property we develop,” adds Caster. 

Also recently, instead of demolishing a historic 1930s home designed 

by Samuel Ogren, Sr., Azure re-located it so the CRA could 

use it for additional office space. 

Ogren is the “Father of Delray Beach Architecture,” so it was the 

perfect space for use by the CRA. 

Azure also have a stack of esteemed reviews from clients. “We 

can’t say enough wonderful things about building our dream home 

with Azure Development. They did everything within their power 

to make sure we had the exact home we wanted. They are timely, 

responsive, meticulous and provide attention to detail as if it was 

their own home. Our finished product has every bell and whistle 

available and our home is not only gorgeous, but expertly and solidly 

built,” said the Morris family. 

Azure’s homes are what dreams are made of. They range in 

price from $2 million to $12 million and are 3,500-square-feet to 

12,000-square-feet in size. But it is the dimension and discovery 

of purpose that make their buildings and homes works of wonder. 

Grossberg and Bieber reviewing plans 

One new project – that is still available for sale – is at 239 NE 

7th Avenue. This modernistic architecture two-story townhome is 

a refreshing new take on city dwelling. It has gated motor court 

entry, private pool and gardens, natural light, 12-foot ceilings with 

wrap around glass and expansive Loggia. It’s also walking distance 

from Atlantic Avenue, the tropical beaches and the Atlantic Crossing 

shops and restaurants. It has a white modern hologram front 

designed in collaboration with Silberstein. 

It is this innovation and elaboration that has Azure’s clients ecstatic 

about their homes and office buildings. They have pre-sold 

28 of the last 30 homes prior to – or during construction – of the 

project. “We provide the highest quality and value to our homeowners. 

We also customize their home to meet and exceed their 

expectations,” said Grossberg. 

You bet they do. “Building our Intracoastal Waterway dream 

home in Delray Beach with Azure Development has been an absolute 

pleasure. The house Azure delivered is absolutely beautiful 

and has the finest level of design, finishes and craftsmanship. Every 

aspect of the process has been handled with absolute professionalism,” 

said the Makinen Family. 

Azure is also developing a 24,000-square-foot “Class A” Medical 

building in central Delray Beach on Jog Road. Located near the most 

prestigious country club communities and the Delray Medical Center, 

this high-end contemporary building is pure Azure modernism 

with all the calm and connectivity that breeds harmony. The project 

- called Addison Medical Centre - pledges to be one of Azure’s most 

promising commercial projects. 

Richard Jones of Richard Jones Architecture has this to say about 

Azure’s building brilliance: “Azure implements a unique and successful 

approach to waterfront development. By thinking outside 

the box, they create, construct and deliver each residence with distinctive 

architecture, excellent craftsmanship, and lasting quality.” 

If you want to scale the heights of residential or commercial 

beauty and sophistication, call Azure. They look forward to helping 

you realize your dreams in our slice of paradise.

shears of faith 

Whitney Smith… 

Joe Ardagna…And More 

BY diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

There’s a buzz in the air at Shears of Faith. It’s not 

the noisy sound of mother nature’s creatures, it’s 

the ethereal edge of happiness and calm comingling. 

When Shears of Faith founders Whitney Smith and Joe Ardagna 

started this cozy hair salon on Federal Highway it 

was a new era for both of them. Their previous center of 

gravity for salon excellence was in Pineapple Grove. 

Their defection to a new neighborhood a few years ago was a 

quiet goodbye and an infectious hello to their new environment. 

Clients seem to be very happy with this serene space that binds 

beauty and balance. 

“I moved to Maryland and came back to Florida to have Joe do my 

hair every five weeks. He does beautiful work coloring, highlighting, 

and adding hair extensions. You can’t come here and not laugh 

and have a good time. Everyone is so special,” said Susan. 

That is exactly the way Whitney planned this shop of faith and 

friendship. “I thank God every day for giving me the opportunity 

to open Shears of Faith and have the talent to care for others. Since 

we opened here God has continued to impact my life and the lives 

of others. I’m so thankful for the talent he has provided with our 

stylists and associates. What a blessing it is for me to walk through 

our doors and have the sense of peace that this is exactly what God 

has called me to do!” 

Whitney is revered for her talent and kind nature. Those around 

her are astounded by her innate ability to turn ordinary people 

into extraordinary beauties. When Kristen Spengler was planning 

her 50th Birthday party her hair stylist of 27 years was unavailable. 

Spengler turned to Whitney for a 20s flapper hairstyle, and 


within hours she created a glorious glamourous hair style 

with feather headband and curls. “Most people need a trial 

run but not Whitney. She took my fine hair and made it look 

thick and glamourous. She is a magician. I come here every 

four weeks now.” 

The growth of Shears of Faith has warranted new stylists 

and colorists. Amy Jenness worked with Joe for 23 years in 

New Hampshire and found her way back to South Florida to 

join Shears of Faith. Her expertise is color, foiliage, cutting 

and making others shine. “I love helping others feel good and 

transforming their appearance. I just gave a client battling 

cancer her the first haircut after a year of wearing a wig. I also 

taught her how to style it.” 

Amy is famous for her blow-outs – just ask Valerie G. “I come 

to Whitney for color, highlights and cuts. Amy blows out my hair 

and it stays smooth for days. If someone doesn’t know what 

they’re doing they can burn the hair, but Amy is careful and precise. 

Whitney also knows exactly how my hair needs to be cut. 

She knew it needed a certain weight by adding long layers and 

hand-painted balayage to add a golden blonde. This is a calming 

shop designed to pamper you.” 

Valerie is spot on. Pampering and primping are part of the 

beautifying process at Shears of Faith. But it’s also the center of 

the socially spectacular vibe. “People come here to get their hair 

done, but they enjoy hanging out here as well. The round table 

is where everyone sits and enjoys the camaraderie, color and 

community,” adds Joe. 

Kierstin Poirier is also part of the Shears of Faith family. She 

does hair styling, coloring and cutting – but prides herself on 

the panorama of the entire experience. “I love playing a part in 

helping someone look good and feel their best. Self-confidence 

plays such a big role in our culture today - when I’m able to 

help my clients get that boost of confidence because they look 

and feel great – I feel great.” 

Whitney and Joe are master stylists and colorists. But it’s 

not just expertise that sets them apart from their peers – it’s 

passion. That same passion is airborne within the entire staff. 

It’s the reason Missy came for the first-time last month. “I really 

like the way Kierstin highlighted my hair. I’m coming back 

for sure. She was careful to take small sections of my hair and 

wrap it in foil so there’s less breakage. I love it here.” 

So does stylist Gabriela Gamba. The newest stylist, who attends 

hair shows and classes, has her hand on the pulse of 

what’s new in hair and color. Her sweet loving nature and 

expertise in Balayage and foiliage make her the perfect addition 

to this group of savvy hair savants. “I try to take the 

skin color, eye shape and facial structure into consideration 

when I do someone’s hair. I love this salon – everyone feels 

so comfortable here.” 

They sure do. “Word is out that it’s cozy and comfortable 

here. It’s about friendliness, integrity and making people 

look and feel great.”

Delray Beach Open 

By Vitacost.com 

Is A Hit!!!

More than 60,000 locals and 

visitors streamed through the 

gates at The Delray Beach Open 

by VITACOST.com which delivered 

ten days of electric tennis and 

so much more at the downtown 

tennis center last month.

The eagerly awaited annual event did not disappoint - the 

world’s only combined ATP Champions Tour Legends event 

and ATP 250 Tour event added a new twist in 2020 – the firstever 

women’s match in tournament history starring Delray Beach 

local and teen sensation Coco Gauff. The hometown girl stole everyone’s 

hearts Valentine’s Day weekend amongst matches featuring 

Hall of Famers and fan-favorites such as James Blake, Tommy Haas, 

David Ferrer and other legends. 

President’s Day Monday saw the show get down to serious business 

as the game’s current ATP Tour stars took the court. The green 

flag might as well have been red, white, and blue as the main event 

was dominated by the home team with young American Reilly Opelka 

edging Yoshito Nishioka (JPN), using a record 99th ace at championship 

point to seal the singles title, while the Bryan Brothers closed 

their Delray Beach chapter winning their 6th title at “The Beach” in 

their swan song appearance. 

There was something for all to enjoy at the event - like chilling onsite 

at the Raeburn Winery & Champagne Lounge, the Shipyard Beer 

Garden and partaking in Sipsmith Gin’s DBO Smash – the Official 

(adult) Beverage of the tournament. Foodies found their favorites at 

That’s Amore Brick Oven Pizza, Guaca Go, and tried Bit-O-Gelato’s 

unique flavors including Nuts 4 Coco and Thai-breaker Tea. 

While many tourney attendees went “gaga” for The Volley Girls and 

Company, others who favored less hustle n’ bustle headed to a VIP 

Lounge & Game Room with Clive Daniel and Boynton Billiards overlooking 

the tournament grounds from the second floor of the clubhouse. 

In addition to the on-and-off court action, there were several 

not-to-be missed events, including the return of Game Set Pour, the 

ultimate pairing event highlighting the best local eats and a mouthwatering 

menu of beer and wine. And, there were also one-of-a-kind 

dining/networking events in the Hospitality Pavilion, like the exclusive 

Box Holders Party, the Chamber Bash, and Lilly Pulitzer’s Ladies 

Luncheon to hob nob with the players. 

If you missed the 2020 Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com, the 

best news is that it will be back next year so mark your calendar for 

February 12-21, 2021!

Here for our Village by the Sea

It’s an unprecedented time for our Community and our Nation. For 

the first time in our 58 years of producing the event the Delray 

Beach Chamber of Commerce has been forced to make the very 

difficult decision of canceling the Delray Affair. But, sometimes things 

beyond our control take precedence and we all need to do our part for 

the greater good. 

Here at the chamber we’d like to think that we are more than just a 

Membership Organization. We are an integral part of The Delray Beach 

Community and have been for over 90 years. 

During this time of crisis we aim to be a trusted source of useful information 

for our Members and our Community. Below you can find a list 

of resources for information whether you are a small business or local 

citizen. We will be updating our Website and Social Media constantly. 

The Delray Chamber also produces Delray Morning Live, Wednesday 

mornings at 8:30am. Delray Morning Live is a Facebook Live show hosted 

by Amanda Perna and Ryan Boylston. We usually invite guests and 

sponsors on the show to highlight upcoming community events or business 

initiatives, however, for the foreseeable future we will be broadcasting 

from a closed location at the Delray Chamber and providing late 

breaking news, information and tips to get through this tough time. To 

view our most recent shows to: Facebook.com/DelrayBeach 

The Chamber is here to help our Members and our neighbors 

through this crisis. We are already thinking about how 

we can all come together again to celebrate our City and our 

friendships, in person, when the coast is clear.

Online Counseling: 

Therapy that’s Simple, Easy and Private 

Online Counseling is the perfect option for this time when 

people are struggling with concerns about “social distancing,” 

and may be afraid of being in public places or stressed 

out and anxious about the news. Getting therapy has never been 

easier nor more effective. This option is also great for busy professionals, 

those with disabilities, caretakers and stay at home parents 

who may have difficulties arranging care for their loved ones or 

simply want to avoid commuting. Getting comfortable and finding a 

private place to talk has never been easier. 

As a licensed mental health counselor in private practice, John 

Davis provides online therapy via secure data transmission and 

client privacy is his top priority. He utilizes state-of-the-art security 

and encryption protocols, through Doxy.me, which is an online 

platform compliant with HIPAA and HITECH requirements for online 

therapy. Getting Doxy is as simple as downloading an app on 

your phone and creating a private login. Doxy is also available as a 

website from your laptop at https://doxy.me/patients. This allows 

you to receive your counseling session in the comfort of your home 

or office while guaranteeing your confidentiality! 

Online Counseling is a proven, effective way to receive counseling 

services from the comfort and privacy of your own home or office 

when your schedule doesn’t allow flexibility for in-person sessions, 

the commute can be inconvenient or impossible, or you want 

to add an extra layer of confidentiality by staying in the comfort of 

your own private space.

Shannon Eadon 

My skill is 

building 

strong 

teams and 

connecting 

with people. 


egulars | city people 

by diane feen | Photo by Melissa korman 

CEO of Old School Square 

Shannon Eadon’s orbit is 

so bright you almost need 

sunglasses to be around her. 

The upbeat, can-do superwoman is always up for any task and 

sees the world as a magical place. 

You could say her superpowers were given to her by her 

father G. Lee Thompson. “My father was my role model and told me 

to make magic every day.” 

And that is exactly what Eadon has done for most of her life. She 

rarely sees roadblocks – and if she does – she just lifts them up 

with her inimitable positivity and drive. 

That is why she was just installed as the new President and CEO 

of Old School Square. Running non-profit arts organizations is part 

and parcel of Eadon’s raison d’être. 

Before coming to Delray Beach, she was the development director 

of Bergen Performing Arts Center, prior to that she was Director of 

Development for Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey. 

There is a lot more to Eadon’s resume than these two high 

profile positions, but navigating her resume is akin to scaling 

Mount Everest. 

That’s because it is littered with words like reposition, streamline, 

fiscal responsibility, hired, trained, mentored, developed, designed 

and executed. These words are not merely to fill the pages but are 

accomplishments Eadon has seen to fruition. 

“At Count Basie Theatre the CEO and I increased the budget from 

$250,000 to $3.5 million. We did a lot of fundraising.” 

Meeting new people and fundraising is nothing new to Eadon. 

That’s because she lived in 16 different cities while growing up. 

Her corporate executive father moved the family around every two 

and a half years. Instead of seeing it as a negative, Shannon took 

advantage of the diversity and dynamics of it all. 

“I had to walk into a new situation and introduce myself to new 

people all the time. I had no choice, I could sit in the corner, or go 

out and pay, and I like to play. It really changed who I am.” 

It also made her a fearless outgoing adult who thrives in 

a multitude of positions. When raising a profile or funds for 

organizations Eadon knows exactly what to do. “I am used to 

sticking my hand out to say hello and get to know people. I don’t ask 

for money, I ask for help to change lives, do good for the community 

and be part of a solution to a problem.” 

And so far, her place in the business world and non-profit 

organizations is somewhere between a high altitude and a 

positive attitude. She is goal oriented and laser focused on what 

she wants to achieve. 

And rest assured when Eadon wants to accomplish something 

she plans a strategy and zooms forward. But not without her team. 

“I changed offices. Instead of a desk I have a table. A table is much 

more conducive to collaboration, more ideas come from around a 

table. This is a team - it doesn’t work without all the players.” 

A statement worthy of embellishment. “Shannon was laser 

focused on our mission and understood how to reach people 

and connect their interests to the theatre by highlighting 

the history, mission and benefits of supporting us. She was 

passionate about building relationships and always made me 

feel like part of her team,” said Brian Wilson, former Manager of 

Membership at Bergen PAC. 

Eadon’s work ethic was installed in her hard drive early in 

life. Though her father was a successful businessman (and CEO 

of Singer) he wanted his daughter to understand the meaning of 

work. “On my 16th Birthday my dad said, ‘Happy Birthday, where 

are you getting a job?’” 

Eadon made her own wardrobe after graduating high school and 

commuted to NYC from NJ for her first job. Entitlement was not one 

of the virtues Mr. Thompson passed down to his daughter. 

It worked quite well in building her character and charisma. 

Eadon was Senior VP at an ad agency and traveled the world. She 

attended elaborate Manhattan soirees and often worked six days a 

week 12 hours a day. 

She also volunteered – becoming a board member, fundraiser 

and advocate – for non-profits. She helped conservation, historical 

societies, and the Monmouth County Hunt Racing Association (their 

annual event attracted over 10,000 people and benefited 26 charities). 

It is also where she met the love of her life, Gordon Eadon. “I 

knew on our first date that I wanted to marry him.” And sure 

enough, two years later they were married and now have two 

grown children together. 

While her children were growing up Eadon left the corporate 

world. But she didn’t join current events clubs or take up knitting. 

She started an events company - Exceptional Events - that specialized 

in planning and catering weddings, charity events and parties. 

Though she majored in marketing, Eadon loves art and the world 

of possibilities that open up in that medium of expression. That is 

why her new position with Old School Square is the perfect center 

of gravity for this Florida newcomer. 

“We are changing our programming to suit every demographic 

in Delray. We plan to add rock, comedy, dance, jazz, local theater 

groups and other things.” 

Eadon also moved OSS employees to different positions where 

their star can shine. “Moving people around to fit their strengths 

makes everyone happy. People are now doing jobs that come 

naturally to them.” 

Part of this change is developing educational outreach 

programs with Delray children. They will not only learn about 

music but experience its inherent benefit in their lives. “Putting 

kids in drum circles can change their heart rate and their 

emotions from angry to calm.” 

If the past is any indication of the future, Eadon will be the fearless 

leader that takes OSS into the future with gusto and greatness. 

“To do a job like this you have to be open and honest. You also 

have to be willing to work seven days a week and fold chairs with 

the staff at 2am. I don’t look at this as work, this is fun.” 

Welcome to the party.

dining | RECIPE 

Broccoli Rabe 

with Sausage 

INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4) 

1-pound broccoli rabe 

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

1-pound of sweet or hot Italian 

sausage—casings removed; 

meat crumbled 

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 

Pinch of crushed red pepper 

Salt 

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 

1/4 cup grated pecorino cheese 

directions 

Step 1 

In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the broccoli rabe until nearly 

tender, 4 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water. Squeeze and pat dry, 

then chop. 

Step 2 

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the sausage and cook over 

moderately high heat, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned. 

Add 3 more tablespoons of oil, the garlic and red pepper to the skillet 

and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, stirring, until 

tender, 3 minutes. Season with salt. Add the lemon juice and toss. 

Serve with pecorino. Can also be served over spaghetti al dente.

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

Is My Pet Being Poisoned? 

As proud pet owners, we often are concerned with our pets’ 

health. We worry when they have an “off” activity day, lose 

their appetite for a day or two, maybe even vomit or have 

loose stools. Sometimes tough decisions must be made in how to 

react. “Are they sick” or just “off?” Veterinary visits can be costly 

and economics and budgets continue to be factors in what we decide. 

Many try to self-diagnose online, others seek the advice of fellow 

pet owners or pet “experts” at the local pet store. If we could 

understand the possible causes, our decisions would be simple. 

All disease boils down to two primary causes, deficiency and 

toxicity. It is a combination of both, working together that creates 

a dysfunction in the body. Often it is only a short-term issue as the 

body is designed to heal itself naturally. We are tasked with understanding 

what our pets are exposed to, both good and harmful 

and make the appropriate lifestyle changes. 

Let me explain how these issues occur. The deficiency issue 

starts with the feeding of a highly processed, low nutrient, 

monolithic diet. The lack of diversity or varieties in foods creates 

voids of certain bioavailable nutrients. Synthetic, chemically 

added supplements have been the culprit of many pet food 

recalls and pet deaths. 

The toxicity issues are from many different sources. We can go 

back to the synthetic supplements and then add in the plethora 

of color, artificial flavors, stabilizers, stimulants and preservatives 

that are not only added to the food but are in other ingredients 

being used that are not even listed on the package. To add to the 

toxic load are the chemical exposures that they breathe in daily, 

such as government spraying for mosquitoes and other pathogens, 

air fresheners and household cleaners. Dogs are also exposed to 

all the lawn chemicals and boosters including the weed killers that 

are linked to cancer. We need to look at the toxicity of drugs and 

medication we freely use on our pets without understanding their 

possible side effects and adverse events listed on product inserts. 

This warning is being sounded because beyond cancer, liver 

and kidney failure cases have become the main causes of death 

in our pets. Liver and kidney issues are caused by a breakdown 

of the organs ability to process and eliminate waste. If that waste 

contains large quantities of toxic chemicals, the cells that function 

are injured or die. If they cannot function properly, the whole 

body suffers. Every parasitic drug is a poison, whether it’s for 

fleas, ticks, heartworms or others. Every vaccine your pet gets 

contains toxic heavy metals such as aluminum and mercury. 

When our pets are fed an abundance of commercial single food 

diets, the immune system becomes compromised and unable to 

defend itself against the assault of the toxins. When we see our 

pets not acting normal and appear to be “sick,” we need to take a 

moment to reflect on our approach to feeding and medicating our 

pets. Ask yourselves this…Did we treat our lawn or deep clean 

our house? Did we vaccinate or medicate our pets recently? Did 

we change foods? 

In most cases if we look and understand what our pets are exposed 

to and move to a more natural lifestyle, our pets will experience 

a longer healthier life.

lady 

A NO-KILL animal shelter. 

Open Tues - Sun 

11 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. 

This cute girl is a 1.5-year-old Chihuahua mix, 

at just 13 pounds, she was rescued from 

Puerto Rico. She’s a bit scared from all the 

changes in her life, and she is a bit of an 

escape artist so she needs a patient owner to 

keep good care of her. 

polly was happy and loved by a man in his 

90’s but then she needed rehoming. She is four 

years old, spayed, healthy, and ready for a new 

life. Polly is shy but loves to be petted once she 

knows you. She’s a pretty kitty with love to give. 

Come on in to meet her! 

This pretty girl is a sweet little pup in need of a 

family and lots of TLC. Lady is a bit timid, shy 

and unsure but she’s so ready to trust in a kind 

person or family. Shelter life is chaotic, even 

with loving staff and volunteers’ gentle care. 

She wants to know if you can be her person. 

All animals are up-to-date 

on vaccinations and 

heartworm tested. 

Adoption fees $110 and up.
