editor<br />
Can you smell the<br />
Pumpkin Latte?!<br />
<strong>September</strong> 22 we welcome Fall, and although our temperatures<br />
here in sunny South Florida are still very warm, we are officially in<br />
the homestretch of <strong>2021</strong>. I don’t know about you, but this season I<br />
am excitedly looking forward to football (go Fins, Bucs, and Jags!).<br />
In this issue you will meet Emilie Konopka, our <strong>September</strong> City Person.<br />
Diane Feen calls her a Leader, Communicator, and a Visionary, and after<br />
reading her story, you will definitely agree. Her passions include cooking,<br />
art, music, yoga (to name a few) – but she does so much more. She is a wife,<br />
a mom, a volunteer, the regional director for a major retail company and…<br />
if that wasn’t enough, the new Chairman of the Board for our beloved Old<br />
School Square.<br />
I know I’ve said this in a previous issue, but I believe it’s worth repeating<br />
– we are in the middle of hurricane season. Hurricane preparation is part of<br />
South Florida life. <strong>September</strong> and October have notoriously been the most<br />
active for hurricanes. If you have a whole house generator, get it serviced,<br />
if you have a portable generator, make sure you have fresh gas to run it<br />
3-5 days. Get water, non-perishable foods, paper goods, cleaning supplies,<br />
batteries, flashlights, and all necessary medications.<br />
Do you have Fall travel plans? Consider local destinations and staycation!<br />
Our All America Town has lots to offer and explore, but<br />
so does our state. Inside<br />
this issue we have a few<br />
suggestions on Romantic<br />
Getaways, all in our<br />
beautiful Sunshine State!<br />
Let the<br />
beauty<br />
of what<br />
you love<br />
be what<br />
you do.<br />
— Rumi<br />
Have a safe<br />

Couple Develops<br />
Groundbreaking<br />
Program Post-<br />
Pandemic<br />
Teens who went through Shift Happens<br />
report a 68% increase in handling<br />
stress well<br />
Andrea and Lee Vallely<br />
Transformational coaches Lee and<br />
Andrea Vallely have found a way to<br />
significantly lower stress and improve<br />
well-being in teens impacted by the pandemic.<br />
The Vallelys, who have spent years<br />
coaching adults through difficult times<br />
with their Shift Happens program recently<br />
modified the program for teens at the request<br />
of parents. New data from their pilot<br />
program at Somerset Academy in Boca<br />
Raton shows unbelievable results: 68%<br />
increase in managing stress well, 59% increase<br />
in remaining calm during stressful<br />
situations and a 57% jump in overall happiness<br />
among the teens.<br />
“Before the program, I had so much anxiety.<br />
Now, I don’t have to carry situations everywhere<br />
I go. I handle things a lot better,”<br />
said Daniela, a middle school student who<br />
went through Shift Happens for Teens.<br />
The 8-lesson Shift Happens curriculum<br />
is turnkey for teachers and distributed<br />
with video lessons and an accompanying<br />
workbook. The program was created<br />
from Lee and Andrea’s proven method of<br />
teaching the principles behind our psychology.<br />
It shows students their innate<br />
well-being, how to calm a busy mind, and<br />
the eyeopening way to not react to their<br />
fluctuating moods.<br />
The Vallelys created Shift Happens for<br />
Teens during the pandemic after parents<br />
begged them for help with their children<br />
who were struggling with isolation, anxiety<br />
and change. The couple ran a pilot program<br />
at Somerset Academy in Boca Raton<br />
this past spring and were surprised at the<br />
amazing results.<br />

By Darien Davies<br />
Delray Under $50<br />
Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels<br />
Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple<br />
Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more<br />
to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings<br />
spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can<br />
seem expensive at times, there’s a great<br />
opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer<br />
without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can<br />
do in Delray Beach in <strong>September</strong> for $50 or less.<br />
Sew, sew, sew, what do we have here? Only the cutest little<br />
needlepoint shop in all the land! <strong>September</strong> is National Sewing<br />
Month and is the best time to head over to Stitches by<br />
the Sea where they say that needlepoint is yoga for the mind! The<br />
cheerful team provides a welcoming shop with a large, beautiful<br />
selection of fibers and canvases. They specialize in needlepoint<br />
designs, threads, and finishing; knitting yarns and ribbons; and<br />
custom designs and instruction in both needlepoint and knitting.<br />
Even though they are primarily a needlepoint shop, they also have<br />
gorgeous knitting yarns, and are more than happy to help you find<br />
the exact items for your project. Their prices are reasonable, and<br />
their selection is vast, so you can be confident that they will be<br />
your one stop shop for all your needlepoint needs! They even offer<br />
an online store if you prefer to skip the in-person shopping<br />
and get to knitting as quickly as possible. Stitches by the Sea is<br />
located at 701 E. <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue and is open Tuesday through<br />
Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm by appointment only. Visit www.<br />
stitchesbythesea.us or call (561) 865-5775 for more information<br />

Let’s get back outside and stretch our legs! <strong>September</strong> is Fall<br />
Hat Month and is the perfect time to fake-it-until-we-make-it<br />
this Fall season. So, grab your hat, find any breeze you can, and<br />
take some time to enjoy the shaded outdoors of downtown <strong>Atlantic</strong><br />
<strong>Ave</strong>nue. The 26th Annual Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival is<br />
back once again to open your senses to all the most unique, new, fun,<br />
and curious crafts out there. Located at the intersection of Fourth<br />
<strong>Ave</strong>nue and <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue, you’re invited to peruse the best crafts<br />
from crafters across the nation. Not only that, but the <strong>Ave</strong>nue will be<br />
in full swing, so you can also check out the local shops to see what<br />
our vendors have in store for you, too. Since crafting is hard work,<br />
save some time to treat yourself to a cool cocktail and a delightful<br />
lunch at one of the restaurants dotted along the <strong>Ave</strong>nue. The best<br />
part is that the event is free, well managed, and a great way to enjoy<br />
some fresh Fall air. The festival is held Saturday, <strong>September</strong> 11 and<br />
Sunday, <strong>September</strong> 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.artfestival.<br />

There’s never been a better time to explore your local<br />
backyard! <strong>September</strong> is National Wilderness Month<br />

garage goodies. Saturday, <strong>September</strong><br />
18 is National Clean Up Day and you’re invited to shred it<br />
like it’s hot. The City of Delray Beach Neighborhood and<br />

and businesses to their free shredding event. The Neighborhood<br />
and Community Services bridges and engages Delray<br />
Beach’s diverse residents with resources to maintain, revitalize,<br />

office clutter free! The City will provide on-site shredding<br />
for sensitive, outdated and unwanted papers and documents<br />
from 9 am to 1 pm in the City Hall’s north parking lot. This<br />

Country music returned to the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in<br />
West Palm Beach. Multi Grammy and CMA Award winners Lady<br />
A (formerly known as Lady Antebellum) headlined a four artist<br />
bill that included Carly Pearce, Niko Moon and Tenille Arts. It was easy<br />
to tell that each artist was as happy to be on stage performing in front<br />
of a live audience as that audience of thousands were happy to be<br />
experiencing live music again. A special evening of inspired performances<br />
were enjoyed and truly appreciated by all.<br />

Celebrate National Dog Week<br />
By Jo Jo Harder<br />
English writer John Heywood once said, “Every dog has its<br />
day.” Thanks to Captain Will Judy, every dog has its week!<br />
National Dog Week started in 1928 when World War I<br />
veteran and canine advocate Captain William Judy, decided that<br />
a week-long celebration was the least that could be done to recognize<br />
the service and the loyalty of people’s best friend.<br />
After returning from the war, Captain Judy established a publishing<br />
business dedicated to canines. Through his Dog World<br />
<strong>Magazine</strong> empire, a multitude of books, and his National Dog<br />
Week initiatives, Judy educated and guided a new generation of<br />
pet parents.<br />
The occasion, which takes place over the last week of <strong>September</strong>,<br />
offers an opportunity to organize new and fun events for<br />
dog lovers and dogs, while helping local organizations, shelters,<br />
and canines in need.<br />
Although the pandemic has altered everyone’s lifestyles, there<br />
are many ways to show appreciation to the dog that gives you<br />
unconditional love, friendship, and constant companionship.<br />
While we agree that every day, our dogs should be celebrated,<br />
we love having a special week. Here are some top ideas for celebrating<br />
with your pup every day of this momentous week:<br />
Monday: Take your dog on a walk somewhere new. Let your<br />
dog take the lead and let them walk at their own pace while<br />
sniffing everything that they want (within reason). Romeo,<br />
America’s Top Dog Model brand ambassador (pictured below)<br />
is planning on celebrating National Dog Week with his first visit<br />
to Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge for<br />
a sunrise walk.<br />
Tuesday: Teach your dog a new skill. Learning new tricks will<br />
keep your dog’s mind sharp. There are lots of books and videos<br />
to help take your training to the next level.<br />
Wednesday: Support a pet organization. Donate a monetary<br />
gift or needed supplies. Find COVID-19 specific and virtual volunteer<br />
opportunities at volunteermatch.org.<br />
Thursday: Adopt a dog. If you are considering adding a new<br />
pup to your family, visit your local shelter and see what they<br />
have to offer. What better way to celebrate National Dog Week<br />
than by giving a forever home to a dog in need?<br />
Friday: Embark on a trip to see fall foliage. Mia, America’s<br />
Top Dog Model <strong>2021</strong> National winner (pictured above), and her<br />
family are planning a trip to Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains<br />
where they will enjoy hiking and plenty of picture taking.<br />
Saturday: Create an “at home” spa. Nothing compares to the<br />
pampering and relaxation of a spa day. Spend quality time bonding<br />
with your dog, complete with bath, pet-icure, teeth brushing,<br />
massage and lots of hugs.<br />
Sunday: Watch a movie together. Whether or not your dog<br />
is aware of other dogs on the screen, they will definitely enjoy<br />
snuggling up on the couch with you. Select a movie where the<br />
dog is the hero like in Lassie, The Wizard of Oz, and Air Bud.<br />
What are your plans for celebrating National Dog Week? Let us<br />
know in your comments on Instagram @americastopdogmodel.<br />

The cast includes Annabelle Wallis as Madison, Jake Abel, George<br />
Young, Jacqueline McKenzie, Mckenna Grace, Maddie Hasson, Ingrid<br />
Bisu, and Michole Briana White.<br />
► Queenpins (Theaters) Inspired by a true story, “Queenpins”<br />
is an outrageous comedy about a bored and frustrated suburban<br />
homemaker, Connie (Kristen Bell) and her best pal JoJo (Kirby<br />
Howell-Baptiste), a vlogger with dreams, who turn a hobby into a<br />
multi-million-dollar counterfeit coupon caper. After firing off a letter<br />
► Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Theaters)<br />
Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings” stars<br />
Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, who must confront the past he thought he left<br />
behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings<br />
organization. The film also stars Tony Leung as Wenwu, Awkwafina<br />
as Shang-Chi’s friend Katy and Michelle Yeoh as Jiang Nan,<br />
as well as Fala Chen, Meng’er Zhang, Florian<br />
Munteanu and Ronny Chieng.<br />
► Cinderella (Amazon) Cinderella<br />
is a musically driven bold new take<br />
on the traditional story you grew<br />
up with. Our heroine (Camila<br />
Cabello) is an ambitious young<br />
woman, whose dreams are<br />
bigger than the world will allow,<br />
but with the help of her Fab G (Billy<br />
Porter), she is able to persevere and<br />

investigator David Carmichael (Pearce) to track down his<br />
missing daughter. David teams up with Jane (Lutz), a highly<br />
advanced A.I. equipped with the same technology of her fellow<br />

human being. They travel through the city uncovering clues<br />
and a crime that calls into question the origins and true<br />
purpose behind the city of artificial humans.<br />
36 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
through his relationship with Cirk. But keeping Cirk on the straightand-narrow<br />
proves impossible, dragging Tell back into the darkness<br />
of his past.<br />
to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale, and receiving<br />
an apology along with dozens of freebies, the duo hatches an illegal<br />
coupon club scheme that scams millions from mega-corporations<br />
and delivers deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers. On the trail<br />
to total coupon dominance, a hapless Loss Prevention Officer (Paul<br />
Walter Hauser) from the local supermarket chain joins forces with<br />
a determined U.S. Postal Inspector (Vince Vaughn) in hot pursuit of<br />
these newly minted “Queenpins” of pink-collar crime.<br />
► The Alpinist (Theaters) Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far<br />
from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-yearold<br />
Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history.<br />
Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no<br />
margin for error, Leclerc’s approach is the essence of solo adventure.<br />
Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is<br />
reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. Veteran<br />
filmmaker Peter Mortimer sets out to make a film about Leclerc but<br />
struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then, Leclerc embarks<br />
on a historic adventure into Patagonia that will redefine what is<br />
possible in solo climbing. “The Alpinist” is co-directed by adventure<br />
filmmakers Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen.<br />
► The Card Counter (Theaters) William Tell (Oscar Isaac) just<br />
wants to play cards. His spartan existence on the casino trail is<br />
shattered when he is approached by Cirk (Tye Sheridan), a vulnerable<br />
and angry young man seeking help to execute his plan for revenge on<br />
a military colonel (Willem Dafoe). Tell sees a chance at redemption<br />
► Language Lessons (Theaters) When Adam’s (Mark Duplass)<br />
husband surprises him with weekly Spanish lessons, he’s unsure<br />
about where or how this new element will fit into his already<br />
structured life. But when tragedy strikes, his Spanish teacher, Cariño<br />
(Natalie Morales), becomes a lifeline he didn’t know he needed.<br />
Adam develops an unexpected and complicated<br />
emotional bond with Cariño - but do you<br />
really know someone just because you’ve<br />
experienced a traumatic moment with<br />
them? Bittersweet, honest, and at times<br />
darkly funny, “Language Lessons” is<br />
a disarmingly moving exploration of<br />
platonic love.<br />
<strong>September</strong> 17<br />
► Clifford the Big Red Dog (Theaters)<br />
When middle-schooler Emily Elizabeth<br />
(Darby Camp) meets a magical animal<br />

red puppy, she never anticipated waking<br />
up to find a giant ten-foot hound in her<br />
small New York City apartment.<br />
While her single mom (Sienna<br />
Guillory) is away for business,<br />
Emily and her fun but impulsive<br />

religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered<br />
for their message of love, acceptance and prosperity. Tammy Faye<br />
was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing,<br />
and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life. However,<br />
it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and<br />
scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.<br />
► Cry Macho (Theaters) A one-time rodeo star and washedup<br />
horse breeder takes a job to bring a man’s young son home<br />
and away from his alcoholic mom. On their journey, the horseman<br />
finds redemption through teaching the boy what it means to be a<br />
good man. Stars Clint Eastwood, Fernanda Urrejola and Horacio<br />
Garcia Rojas.<br />

teenager from Sheffield, England who desperately wants to be a drag<br />
queen. With the help of his mum and friends, he overcomes prejudice,<br />

drag queen. Max Harwood stars as Jamie, with a cast including Sarah<br />
Lancashire, Lauren Patel, Shobna Gulati, Ralph Ineson, Adeel Akhtar,<br />
Samuel Bottomley, with Sharon Horgan and Richard E. Grant.<br />
► Blue Bayou (Theaters) From award-winning writer/director<br />

Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the<br />
first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton<br />
sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on<br />
condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly<br />
- he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television.<br />
What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later<br />
did the full story emerge -Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only<br />
truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world<br />
and save his marriage - how and why he used the Duke to achieve<br />
that is a wonderfully uplifting tale. Also stars Helen Mirren, Matthew<br />
Goode, Charlotte Spencer, Fionn Whitehead, and John Heffernan<br />

There Be Carnage<br />

becomes the host of an alien<br />
symbiote known as “Carnage.”<br />

Experience<br />
Assis brings elements of all rhythms.<br />
“It’s as if I was throwing a fruit salad<br />
in a blender, and you get all those<br />
different flavors,” shares Assis. This<br />
mixture of styles derives from the two<br />
cities in which he has lived for most<br />
of his life. Salvador, in the northeast of<br />
Brazil, where Assis was born and raised,<br />
and New York, where he currently<br />
lives. Living in New York inspires<br />
Assis to blend elements from different<br />
communities, and generates rich music<br />

The Night She<br />
Disappeared<br />
by Lisa Jewell<br />
Released <strong>September</strong> 7<br />
From the #1 New York Times bestselling<br />
author of Then She Was Gone and The<br />
Family Upstairs comes another riveting<br />
work of “gloriously twisted” (Marie Claire)<br />
psychological suspense.<br />
On a beautiful summer night in a charming<br />
English suburb, a young woman and<br />
her boyfriend disappear after partying at<br />
the massive country estate of a new college<br />
friend.<br />
One year later, a writer moves into a cottage<br />
on the edge of the woods that border<br />
the same estate. Known locally as the Dark<br />
Place, the dense forest is the writer’s favorite<br />
area for long walks and it’s on one such<br />
walk that she stumbles upon a mysterious<br />
note that simply reads, “DIG HERE.”<br />
Could this be a clue towards what has<br />
happened to the missing young couple?<br />
And what exactly is buried in this haunted<br />
ground?<br />
With her signature “rich, dark, and intricately<br />
twisted” (Ruth Ware, New York<br />
Times bestselling author) prose, Lisa Jewell<br />
has crafted a dazzling work of suspense<br />
that will keep on the edge of your seat until<br />
the final page.<br />
Harlem Shuffle<br />
by Colson Whitehead<br />
Released <strong>September</strong> 14<br />
From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning<br />
author of The Underground Railroad<br />
and The Nickel Boys, a gloriously entertaining<br />
novel of heists, shakedowns, and<br />
rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s.<br />
“Ray Carney was only slightly bent when<br />
it came to being crooked...” To his customers<br />
and neighbors on 125th street, Carney<br />
is an upstanding salesman of reasonably<br />
priced furniture, making a decent life for<br />
himself and his family. He and his wife<br />
Elizabeth are expecting their second child,<br />
and if her parents on Striver’s Row don’t<br />
approve of him or their cramped apartment<br />
across from the subway tracks, it’s<br />
still home.<br />
Few people know he descends from a<br />
line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that<br />
his façade of normalcy has more than a few<br />
cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger<br />
all the time.<br />
Cash is tight, especially with all those installment-plan<br />
sofas, so if his cousin Freddie<br />
occasionally drops off the odd ring or<br />
necklace, Ray doesn’t ask where it comes<br />
from. He knows a discreet jeweler downtown<br />
who doesn’t ask questions, either.<br />
Then Freddie falls in with a crew who<br />
plan to rob the Hotel Theresa—the “Waldorf<br />
of Harlem”—and volunteers Ray’s<br />
services as the fence. The heist doesn’t go<br />
as planned; they rarely do. Now Ray has a<br />
new clientele, one made up of shady cops,<br />
vicious local gangsters, two-bit pornographers,<br />
and other assorted Harlem lowlifes.<br />
Thus begins the internal tussle between<br />
Ray the striver and Ray the crook. As Ray<br />
navigates this double life, he begins to<br />
see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem.<br />
Can Ray avoid getting killed, save his<br />
cousin, and grab his share of the big score,<br />
all while maintaining his reputation as the<br />
go-to source for all your quality home furniture<br />
needs?<br />
Apples Never Fall<br />
by Liane Moriarty<br />
Released <strong>September</strong> 14<br />
From the #1 New York Times bestselling<br />
author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect<br />
Strangers comes a novel that looks at<br />
marriage, siblings, and how the people we<br />
love the most can hurt us the deepest.<br />
The Delaney family love one another<br />
dearly—it’s just that sometimes they want<br />
to murder each other…<br />
If your mother was missing, would you<br />
tell the police? Even if the most obvious<br />
suspect was your father?<br />
This is the dilemma facing the four<br />
grown Delaney siblings.<br />
The Delaney’s are fixtures in their community.<br />
The parents, Stan and Joy, are the<br />
envy of all of their friends. They’re killers<br />
on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry<br />
is palpable. But after fifty years of marriage,<br />
they’ve finally sold their famed tennis<br />
academy and are ready to start what<br />
should be the golden years of their lives.<br />
So why are Stan and Joy so miserable?<br />
The four Delaney children—Amy, Logan,<br />
Troy, and Brooke—were tennis stars<br />
in their own right, yet as their father will<br />
tell you, none of them had what it took<br />
to go all the way. But that’s okay, now<br />
that they’re all successful grown-ups<br />
and there is the wonderful possibility of<br />
grandchildren on the horizon.<br />
One night a stranger named Savannah<br />
knocks on Stan and Joy’s door, bleeding<br />
after a fight with her boyfriend. The Delaney’s<br />
are more than happy to give her<br />
the small kindness she sorely needs. If<br />
only that was all she wanted.<br />
Later, when Joy goes missing, and Savannah<br />
is nowhere to be found, the police<br />
42 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
question the one person who remains:<br />
Stan. But for someone who claims to be<br />
innocent, he, like many spouses, seems<br />
to have a lot to hide. Two of the Delaney<br />
children think their father is innocent,<br />
two are not so sure—but as the two sides<br />
square off against each other in perhaps<br />
their biggest match ever, all the Delaney’s<br />
will start to reexamine their shared family<br />
history in a very new light.<br />
Under the<br />

USA Today bestselling author of The<br />
House in the Cerulean Sea, comes Under<br />
the Whispering Door, a new contemporary<br />

to cross over and the ferryman he falls in<br />
love with.<br />
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace<br />
Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects<br />
he really might be dead.<br />
Instead of leading him directly to the<br />
afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small<br />
village. On the outskirts, off the path<br />
through the woods, tucked between<br />
mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by<br />
a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop’s<br />
owner to locals and the ferryman to souls<br />

But Wallace isn’t ready to abandon the<br />
life he barely lived. With Hugo’s help he<br />
finally starts to learn about all the things<br />
he missed in life.<br />
When the Manager, a curious and powerful<br />
being, arrives at the tea shop and<br />
gives Wallace one week to cross over,<br />
Wallace sets about living a lifetime in<br />
seven days.<br />
By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking,<br />
this absorbing tale of grief and<br />
hope is told with TJ Klune’s signature<br />
warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy.<br />
Purgatory’s Shore<br />
by Taylor Anderson<br />
Released <strong>September</strong> 21<br />
On their way to fight in the Mexican<br />
American War, a group of American<br />
soldiers are swept away to a strange and<br />
deadly alternate Earth in this thrilling<br />
new adventure set in the world of the<br />
New York Times bestselling Destroyermen<br />
series.<br />
The United States, 1847. A disparate<br />
group of young American soldiers are<br />
bound to join General Winfield Scott’s<br />
campaign against Santa Anna at Veracruz<br />
during the Mexican American War. They<br />
never arrive.<br />
Or rather . . . they arrive somewhere<br />
else.<br />
The untried, idealistic soldiers are<br />
mostly replacements, really; a handful<br />
of infantry, artillery, dragoons, and a few<br />
mounted riflemen with no unified command.<br />
And they’ve been shipwrecked on<br />
a terrible, different Earth full of monsters<br />
and unimaginable enemies.<br />
Major Lewis Cayce, late of the 3rd US<br />
“Flying” Artillery, must unite these men<br />
to face their fears and myriad threats,<br />
armed with little more than flintlock<br />
muskets, a few pieces of artillery, and a<br />
worldview that spiritually and culturally<br />
rebels against virtually everything<br />
they encounter. It will take extraordinary<br />
leadership and a cadre of equally extraordinary<br />
men and women to mold frightened<br />
troops into an effective force, make<br />
friends with other peoples the evil Holy<br />
Dominion would eradicate, and reshape<br />
their “manifest destiny” into a cause they<br />
can all believe in and fight for.<br />
For only together will they have any<br />
hope of survival.<br />

of Caraval.<br />
Evangeline Fox was raised in her beloved<br />

for, and that bargains with him rarely<br />
end well.<br />
But when Evangeline learns that the<br />
love of her life is about to marry another,<br />

the Prince of Hearts whatever he wants in<br />
exchange for his help to stop the wedding.<br />

after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she<br />
learns that the Prince of Hearts wants far<br />
more from her than she’s pledged. And he<br />
has plans for Evangeline that will either<br />
end in the greatest happily ever after, or<br />
the most exquisite tragedy…<br />

health & beauty | pain relief<br />
By Dr. Safranski<br />
Masking the Symptoms<br />
The world we live in today is full of misleading<br />
information. It’s not out of the ordinary for people to talk<br />
about their pain when they learn that I’m a chiropractor.<br />
Pain is often the topic of conversation. These conversations are<br />
an opportunity to educate people on pain and what is causing<br />
it. It is also common to speak on the multitude of topical<br />
creams, treatments, and doctors that they have tried with no results.<br />
There is a clear delineation between symptoms and causes of<br />
symptoms. Our healthcare system has been an integral part in<br />
teaching us to use pain as the determining factor when we are<br />
better. Pain is the last symptom to show up and the first to go<br />
away. There has been long standing dysfunction and compensation<br />
that has led to where you now have pain in that area and<br />
want it fixed. Like a root canal, the procedure is done to save a<br />
tooth that has long standing decay and is eliciting sometimes unbearable<br />
pain. The fix to the problem is the root canal, the actual<br />
fix would have been to take care of your mouth, brush your teeth,<br />
floss, and see your dentist regularly to prevent this.<br />
As any good clinician should, we use pain as a subjective marker<br />
to gauge the patient’s thoughts on their progress; however,<br />
this should always be accompanied by objective measures that<br />
show verifiable outcomes that show improvement. Those can be<br />
done with range of motion, orthopedic testing, functional movement<br />
evaluations, reflexes and other neurological tests that can<br />
be documented. These tests give us a baseline of how the person<br />
is functioning overall and are monitored through treatment.<br />
We do this solely because pain is subjective, meaning a 10 for<br />
me might be a 5 for you. That is why when we do examinations,<br />
we use the pain and symptoms that are present as a road map<br />
to get to the original source and cause of dysfunction. Let’s use<br />
sciatica, as the topic for the remainder of the article. Scaitica, by<br />
definition, is just inflammation of the sciatic nerve. It is not a<br />
definitive diagnosis; it is an early symptom. Sciatica takes many<br />
forms, radiating pain into the glutes, down the hamstrings, into<br />
the calf, and sometimes into the foot. Here, as clinicians we need<br />
to delineate what is causing this problem. Is it a disc issue, a zygapophyseal<br />
joint, a facet capsule issue, a stenosis issue, a muscle<br />
imbalance issue, or is it from major trauma or pathology? All of<br />
these possibilities have their own treatments and their own patterns<br />
that a trained clinician should be able to detect. There is no<br />
blanket treatment, no amount of over-the-counter medications,<br />
topical creams, stretches or massages that can be used to fix the<br />
actual problem, not just mask the symptoms. Fixing the problem<br />
takes time, repetition, strengthening, and reconditioning your<br />
body to function as it was designed. The cause of these symptoms<br />
should be dealt with an active plan. Stop masking symptoms and<br />
get to a clinician that can help you determine what is going on<br />
and has a concrete plan on getting back to living without pain<br />
and symptoms.<br />

health & beauty | body beautiful<br />
By ashley sica-de souza<br />
Back to School,<br />
Back to YOU!<br />
Summer has come to a close and now it’s back to the<br />
school year grind. Summer is a time for loose schedules…<br />
aka missed workouts, family vacations…lots of extra<br />
calories and kids to entertain. No time to yourself!<br />
Although fun and exciting, all these summer activities can reek<br />
havoc on the body and make getting back on track that much<br />
harder. There is no better time than now to make your fitness<br />
regime part of that “grind.” Here are a few tips to get back on track,<br />
feeling good and beat those summer blues.<br />
The first and most important component of getting back on track<br />
is to have a “fitness” plan and to set a goal for yourself. Setting a fitness<br />
plan could be as simple as saying you’re going to get to the gym<br />
3x per week. Make sure it’s at a time that will not be interrupted and<br />
a time that will work for you. Next up is to set a small goal. Having a<br />
“specific” goal will allow you to focus on training and give you extra<br />
motivation to exercise. It’s a lot easier to make it to the finish line if<br />
you have an attainable goal in sight. Whatever this goal may be, write<br />
it down and put it somewhere where you will be reminded of it everyday.<br />
Committing your goal to paper and seeing the written words are<br />
more powerful than just having a thought or talking about it.<br />
Next order of business would be for you to get your eating in check!<br />
I highly recommend keeping a daily food log of exactly everything that<br />
you are consuming…the good the bad and the ugly! This will help you<br />
easily pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure to get in<br />
the proper mix of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats<br />
and of course lots of veggies. Skip anything that is processed and stick<br />
to all homemade prepared meals (yes, with preparation and thought…<br />
you can do it!) The other nutrition component is water! Your body<br />
can not properly burn fat if it is dehydrated. It’s such a simple thing<br />
many people don’t do. Aim for 1oz of water per pound of bodyweight.<br />
Drinking proper amounts of water will also help to keep you feeling<br />
full, flush out toxins and help de-bloat you faster than you may realize.<br />
So get out that gallon and start your chuggin!<br />
The last step to help you get back on track is to find an accountability<br />
partner. Surely you can find someone…a friend, the neighbor,<br />
your dog (just kidding!) who is looking to get in shape or even just<br />
live a healthier lifestyle. An accountability partner will help keep<br />
you on track and honest. I see greater fitness retention when friends<br />
pair up. Think about it….you’re much less likely to skip your workout<br />
if someone is meeting you and it gives you someone to call when<br />
you’re ready to throw in the towel.<br />
If you follow these three principles it should help you get back on<br />
track in no time! My last piece of advice, don’t do the old…”I’ll start<br />
on Monday!” There is no better time to start than now! Come up with<br />
a plan, set a goal, clean up your eating, grab a friend and get moving!<br />
You’ll be glad you did.<br />

LABOR DAY<br />
The History<br />
Behind<br />
This All<br />
American<br />
Holiday<br />
The labor holiday<br />
is more than BBQs,<br />
and time to stop<br />
wearing white<br />
clothing.<br />
Labor Day is the<br />
unofficial end<br />
to the summer<br />
season. Up north the<br />
leaves begin to turn,<br />
here – our seasonal<br />
residents return,<br />
and the temperatures<br />
cools a bit.<br />
Labor Day is<br />
always celebrated<br />
on the first Monday<br />
of <strong>September</strong>.<br />
This year, Labor<br />
Day is <strong>September</strong><br />
6, <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
48 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
Why do we celebrate Labor DAY?<br />
The idea of Labor Day emerged in the late 19th century out of the<br />
organized labor movements. In <strong>September</strong> 1882, unions in New<br />
York decided to throw themselves a parade to celebrate unions as<br />
a concept and the hard-working people comprising them.<br />
Even though workers had to give up a day’s pay to attend, more<br />
than 20,000 people showed up to the parade. It was a celebration<br />
of historic proportions.<br />
Soon, unions in other states started having <strong>September</strong> parades,<br />
and within five years, several states declared “Labor Day” official<br />
state holidays. In 1894, 12 years after the first labor parade in New<br />
York, President Grover Cleveland signed an act establishing Labor<br />
Day as a federal holiday on the first Monday of every <strong>September</strong>.<br />
How do we celebrate Labor DAY now?<br />
While some towns still have Labor Day parades similar to the<br />
original Labor Day festivities of the 19th century, the general focus<br />
of the holiday has shifted more toward celebrating the end of summer.<br />
Cookouts and pool parties are much more in favor now than<br />
marching bands and union speeches. And Labor Day is usually a<br />
busy time for travel.<br />
Still, the original spirit of honoring the work force remains, and<br />
Labor Day is a paid holiday for most American workers. According<br />
to the U.S. Travel Association, more than half of all working<br />
Americans don’t use all of their paid vacation days. In a country<br />
that works so much, having a day off is an ideal way to celebrate<br />
and recharge for the fall. That, and amazing sales!<br />
When do Labor DAY sales start?<br />
Another tradition of Labor Day in America is the discounts! Labor<br />
Day is on Monday, <strong>September</strong> 6, but Labor Day sales usually<br />
start the weekend before and, in some cases, up to a week in advance.<br />
If you’re in the market for something large like a kitchen<br />
appliance, a washer/dryer, or a mattress, Labor Day is an excellent<br />
time to go shopping because big ticket items often get the most<br />
notable discounts around this time of year.<br />
Can you wear white after Labor DAY?<br />
Wearing white after Labor Day has long been considered a fashion<br />
faux pas. However, no one is certain where the rule “you cannot<br />
wear white after Labor Day” came from.<br />
Some fashion historians say it was pure classist snobbery — a social<br />
more set in place by the American nouveau riche as a way to easily<br />
denote who was wealthy and who wasn’t, because people with<br />
less money could not afford seasonal clothes. Others say that not<br />
wearing white after Labor Day simply came about because Labor<br />
Day marked the end of summer and white was traditionally thought<br />
of as summer-wear. As the weather turned colder, people began to<br />
favor darker clothing, like gray sweaters and dark navy suits.<br />
Over time this trend became fashion tradition. Despite what<br />
fashionistas might say, it’s not a hard and fast rule. Fashion icon<br />
Coco Chanel wore white year-round, so there’s no reason not to<br />
wear your favorite white clothes anytime you please!<br />

in a nice vase, red and white. They were quick to make my bouquet<br />
and did a great job at a reasonable price. The staff was very helpful and<br />
friendly! My wife said it’s by far the most beautiful bouquet of flowers<br />
she’s ever gotten, more so than our ridiculously expensive wedding<br />
flowers, even,” said a happy customer.<br />

Maya Bleu<br />
Saving the Ocean with a Lifestyle<br />
Brand Steeped in Sustainability<br />
BY Diane Feen | photos courtesy of maya bleu<br />
Maya Bleu designs and creates luxury eco-friendly<br />
products. Some of the items they offer are wonderful shark<br />
tooth candles, jewelry, apparel, sunglasses, and blankets.<br />
But their story is much more glorified than just selling ecofriendly<br />
products. The purpose of the company is to raise<br />
consciousness – and money – to save sharks, oceans, marine<br />
life, and coral restoration.<br />
The founder of the company, Mason Silvia, has a history of good<br />
stewardship of the planet. He was involved in Emmy-Award documentaries<br />
about preservation and environmental causes.<br />
Mason also has a bachelor’s degree in alternative renewable energy<br />
and previously developed the aquaponics systems. His ingenious<br />
creation is thought to be the future of sustainable farming,<br />
and a pathway to saving our oceans.<br />
And, he always has one foot in the real world and one in the higher<br />
consciousness of saving the planet and its wild and natural resources.<br />
That is why Maya Bleu’s mission is to save oceans and sharks by<br />
way of creating luxury sustainable products.<br />
One of the most popular – and novel – products is their “Original<br />
Shark Tooth Candles.” The “Original Shark Tooth Candle” comes<br />
52 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
in three different colorful nature-inspired vessels<br />
and is made of all natural ingredients. They not<br />
only look good, but smell luscious. The Original<br />
Shark Tooth Candle is scented with a buttery rum<br />
flavor infused with a sweet creamy vanilla and<br />
toasted coconut.<br />
And…the best part is that inside the wax are<br />
four handpicked fossilized shark teeth. “Sharks<br />
shed 100 teeth a day so no sharks were harmed.<br />
And, the teeth used for the candles are from 100<br />
to 1,000 years old!” said Mason.<br />
While most candles are useless after they burn<br />
out, Maya Bleu candles can be re-purposed. By adding<br />
soil and seeded candle duster (that comes with<br />
the candle) to the empty jar it becomes a jar of wildflowers.<br />
All you have to do is add light and water.<br />
The packaging and the candles are made from<br />
eco- friendly products. They are also handmade<br />
locally in South Florida. The other good news is<br />
that a portion of the profits go toward helping local<br />
and small ocean conservation organizations.<br />
To Amanda this environmental achievement is a big deal. “The<br />
candle smells amazing, and the shark conservation support makes<br />
my soul sing! Love this company and what it stands for.”<br />
A lot of people feel the same way as Amanda. That’s why Maya<br />
Bleu has created a lifestyle brand with 14K gold-filled shark tooth<br />
jewelry, ocean inspired t-shirts, sea turtle throw blankets, sunglasses<br />
and more.<br />
“Our goal is to be a company that’s involved in helping the environment.<br />
We are involved with Shark Research and Coral Restoration,”<br />
said Silvia, who has a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in<br />
Alternative Renewable Energy and a long time ocean expert and<br />
conservationist.<br />
They recently made a donation to Shark Allies. This Shark Free/<br />
Shark Safe program keeps their focus on shark fin trade bans.<br />
“By purchasing our products not only do you get an amazing sustainable<br />
gift, but you also contribute to fund these awesome projects.”<br />
Maya Bleu’s goal is to eventually build a research center to explore<br />
new sustainable resources the environment offers and use<br />
them to create a family of eco-friendly products.<br />
Mason is a man of his word and is quietly going about doing what<br />
it takes to keep our planet safe and sustainable.<br />
“We have dreams of a Maya Bleu ocean research lab to grow corals,<br />
help fish populations through aquaculture, and promote tours<br />
for youth and adult education.”<br />
Anyone who knows Mason knows that he thinks big, but he is also<br />
compassionate about the environment and those who inhabit it.<br />
“Our vision doesn’t stop there. We have many plans to accomplish<br />
in the future, but we need the support of our customers and<br />
supporters to help us achieve our goals and mission. This project<br />
affects all of us.”<br />
All Maya Bleu products are inspired by nature – and are safe and<br />
sustainable. The candle jars come in beautiful and diverse colors<br />
and designs that signify nature in all its splendour.<br />
Christine is one person who has seen its uniqueness.<br />
“I love this candle! I’ve bought all the new release candles in the<br />
past and loved them. So, I bought two of these before they would<br />
sell out. I’m so glad I did! It’s so exciting to see what shark teeth<br />
you’ll get in each candle.”<br />
Maya Bleu products have been so popular that retailers across<br />
the US have embraced them. You can find them locally at Whole<br />
Foods, Boca Surf and Sail, Island Water Sports, and other shops<br />
across the country and overseas. Maya Bleu products can also be<br />
purchased in Canada, Mexico, Australia, China, and more.<br />
“Our mission is to do something good and give back to the ocean.<br />
Living in Florida it is so easy to see the effect of our behavior on<br />
our oceans and ocean life. All of our products are influenced and<br />
inspired by the tropics.”<br />
They also have an online shop where you can purchase products<br />
from, MayaBleu.com. Remember, everything you buy helps protect<br />
our marine life and our oceans.<br />
“We encourage people to reach out to us with ideas and passions<br />
that we should explore and get involved in. We are open to your ideas.”<br />

Dr. Stacy Musselman<br />
Quantum Care<br />
for Optimal Health<br />
By diane feen | photos by melissa korman<br />
Have you been to the doctor<br />
with a specific complaint only<br />
to leave without an answer or<br />
solution to your problem?<br />
Dr. Musselman knows about this scenario all too well. That is<br />
why she examines your bloodwork through functional methods<br />
that lead to appropriate answers for your medical issues.<br />
She has a Master Certification in Blood Chemistry Analysis that is the<br />
centerpiece of her ability to heal people.<br />
“We don’t just wake up one day in a state of disease with chronic<br />
aches and pains. The western medicine model of diagnosis and<br />
treatment never made sense to me. The answers to health problems<br />
are often apparent to me before traditional medical doctors<br />
diagnose a problem and then prescribe a pharmaceutical.”<br />
According to Dr. Musselman, bloodwork is the library of the body<br />
and the answers are found in the blood analysis.<br />
She was trained by top Naturopathic Physician Dr. Dicken Weatherby.<br />
He has authored six books in the field of Functional Diagnostics<br />
and lectured to thousands of doctors about analyzing blood test<br />
results from a functional, nutritional, and preventative perspective.<br />
Dr. Musselman is certified in functional blood chemistry analysis<br />
and holds a Master’s Degree in Nutrition. This allows her to take an<br />
in-depth look at your individual needs and give personalized protocols<br />
specific to get you feeling healthy and vibrant.<br />
“I can see things that other doctors don’t look for and it all starts<br />
with a comprehensive bloodwork analysis. My background and<br />
training are what sets me apart from traditional medical health<br />
professionals.”<br />
Dr. Musselman saw the importance of in-depth blood testing and<br />
functional medicine’s importance early on in life.<br />
“My mother Betsy ran the cardiac center at Stanford and I lost<br />
her to heart disease. I truly believe I could have helped her live a<br />
longer better life If I knew what to look for.”<br />
Dr. Musselman received her PhD and Doctorate in Natural Medicine.<br />
Her research focused on increasing optimal biomarkers with<br />
quantum protocols. The result of this training has helped her increase<br />
her patients’ quality of life and improved their overall<br />
health. It also propelled the creation of the Quantum Care Program.<br />
“I was able to increase sex hormones (DHEA in females and Testosterone<br />
in men) along with significantly increasing each person’s<br />
overall well-being. I wanted to prove that it wasn’t nutrition alone<br />
that influenced bloodwork, but a mind/body connection”<br />
Her clients are the best judge of the results of this research.<br />
“Thanks to the Quantum Care program, I lost 35 pounds and I<br />
feel like a million bucks! Dr. Musselman’s recommendations were<br />
easy, and I have never felt better!”<br />
Dr. Musselman is adamant that blood work, if assessed through<br />
the lens of functional medicine, holds answers to health problems<br />
and concerns.<br />
She sees patterns in a person’s body chemistry that may give answers<br />
to many disorders in the body. “I find it is very important<br />
to catch things before they become chronic health problems. My<br />
specialty is prevention and early detection of chronic health issues<br />
through a comprehensive assessment of bloodwork. My practice is<br />
predicated on what I call “The Quantum Care Program.”<br />
The program can be done by a telehealth consult, in her office,<br />
or home concierge service. The premium Home Concierge Service<br />
includes a phlebotomist to draw your blood sample safely and privately.<br />
You can also visit one of her three holistic retreat sites.<br />
Her newest Delray location is a rejuvenating health oasis. The<br />
54 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
facility has a spa room with infrared sauna, a salt wall for<br />
halo therapy, color changing chakra chroma-therapy light and<br />
meditation area. The bathroom and kitchen have voice activated<br />
LED lighting to balance and harmonize your chakras.<br />
You can order organic local produce and the best services<br />
Delray has to offer, right from the touch screen fridge. Dr. Musselman<br />
can customize your stay for a personalized holistic experience<br />
that is truly above and beyond.<br />
The retreat site can also be rented without treatment – and<br />
is a health infused paradise inside and out. The property is<br />
designed for optimal wellness and relaxation.<br />
You don’t have to convince her clients of that.<br />
“The Quantum Cure Protocol changed my life. I sleep soundly<br />
through the night and have the best physical energy I’ve had<br />
in years. I am joyful and am calm. My chronic muscle aches<br />
and headaches have disappeared, and I feel younger, stronger,<br />
healthier physically and emotionally.”<br />
There are more glowing testimonials on her website. It<br />
is those testimonials and positive outcomes that motivate<br />
Dr. Musselman to work hard to help people achieve optimal<br />
health and wellness.<br />
Her Quantum Care Protocols are non-synthetic, nontoxic,<br />
and safe. They include supplements and products that are<br />
specifically ordered and shipped to you because of what your<br />
bloodwork determines.<br />
“Conventional medicine treats the symptoms with synthetics.<br />
I find the imbalances and address the root of the issue with<br />
organic cellular formulations and non-invasive techniques. It’s<br />
not about quick fixes and synthetic drugs. Education and personal<br />
accountability are paramount with my programs.”<br />
Dr. Musselman’s goal is to help everyone who crosses her<br />
path. Her healing methods are proven, and her critical eye for<br />
preventing disease has helped so many.<br />
“My programs give people practical, actionable guidance<br />
so they can feel great, take care of their bodies, and enjoy<br />
the process.”<br />

Scratch Car<br />
People You Can Trust for<br />
Auto Repair and Painting<br />
By diane feen | photos by melissa korman<br />
Scratch Car has carved out the<br />
perfect niche to help people who<br />
find themselves in need of full<br />
collision auto repair and painting.<br />
bumper and left back door. I am blown away by the high quality<br />
of service. Not only does my car look brand-new, but they<br />
matched the off-white paint exactly and did the repair so quickly,<br />
unbelievable! Thank you so much for your professional manner,<br />
diligence, efficiency, and skill with which you completed the<br />
service - simply amazing!”<br />
Cardoso has been behind the wheel of Scratch Car for 25 years<br />
(it’s their anniversary) and he relishes the work and the relationships<br />
he’s made. His son Daniel is now in the business, and manager<br />
Fernando Rezende has been there 15 years.<br />
Because Cardoso feels his customers are part of his extended<br />
family, he wants to warn them – and everyone else – to be careful<br />
in parking lots. “There are people walking up to drivers in parking<br />
lots and telling them they can fix their cars while they shop. This<br />
scam is aimed at seniors who feel they can trust these scam artists<br />
to fix their cars.”<br />
The problem, according to Cardoso, is that the cars are not fixed<br />
or painted correctly, and he has to redo the repairs. “When I see<br />
these cars, they look horrible, and the customer has already paid a<br />
scammer cash out of their pockets. These people follow older people<br />
into parking lots and ask for cash to fix their cars, it’s terrible.”<br />
Cardoso started with one mobile car driving to people’s houses<br />
to fix their cars. Now he has nine employees and does major<br />
auto repairs, minor repairs and paints all makes and models.<br />
Their reputation in the industry is unparalleled for their reasonable<br />
prices, customer service, and drop-off and pick-up<br />
service.<br />
If you go there – in East Delray Beach – you will find a shop that<br />
respects its customers, your vehicle, and the work they do.<br />
“We believe in the highest level of customer service. We take excellent<br />
care of our customers - we do quality work and are grateful<br />
for the friendships we’ve made. After 25 years we don’t take that<br />
for granted. We appreciate our loyal customers and their referrals.”<br />
They are also cognizant of the current health climate and go out<br />
of their way to make sure everyone is safe. “I have hired more drivers<br />
to pick up and deliver cars. Some people do not want to go out,<br />
so we make sure their cars are fixed and returned to them.”<br />
Scratch Car founder Adrian Cardoso makes sure that all cars are<br />
sterilized before returning them, and all employees are safe. After<br />
all he has a reputation to uphold.<br />
“I could not be more pleased with Scratch Car. Mercedes<br />
(Benz) wanted three times as much to fix the dents on my front<br />
56 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
They take all insurance, and in most cases, they will help<br />
you with your deductible.<br />
You could say Cardoso started Scratch Car out of curiosity<br />
and expertise. He saw what people were paying to fix their<br />
cars and how long it took to get the car back.<br />
“I couldn’t believe how expensive it was to repair scratches,<br />
moldings, fenders, quarter panels and other parts. You also<br />
had to leave your car for three or four days. Thanks to innovative<br />
painting processes (and advanced appointments) we can<br />
streamline your repairs and get your car back much quicker.”<br />
Lois couldn’t agree more. “This is the second time I’ve<br />
brought my car to Fernando - this shop is the creme de la<br />
creme. I got my car back in one day and was delighted with<br />
the results. The price was so reasonable I thought I was seeing<br />
double. Scratch Car gets the highest marks.”<br />
They are A+ Accredited by the BBB and offer Free Lease Car<br />
Return Inspection and Free Estimates. If you have a luxury car<br />
– such as a BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche, Lexus - they can<br />
repair your car quicker and for less.<br />
“Our technicians are trained to do everything from start<br />
to finish on each car. That’s because one person does all the<br />
work on your car, and it saves time and creates a seamless<br />
workflow,” said Cardoso.<br />
Their commitment to excellence – and to safety – is not<br />
something people take for granted. It’s something they are<br />
grateful for.<br />
“We have five stars on google and have built our business on<br />
word of mouth. We are a family business, and our customers<br />
are part of our extended family. Before you go to a dealer to<br />
paint or repair your car, call me. We’ll beat all other prices and<br />
give you the highest quality auto repair.”<br />
His customers agree.<br />

thermae retreat<br />
Health Comes with Mental, Physical,<br />
Emotional and Spiritual Balance<br />
By nicol jenkins | photos by melissa korman<br />
Are you one of the people that lights up a room when you walk in?<br />
It’s like a wonderful energy that everyone feels. We all have this<br />
ability inside of us. It is your place of joy, your true contentment<br />
with who you are, grounded in what you offer to the world.<br />
Sometimes you need an experience that takes you out of your<br />
norm and into your self.<br />
Thermae Retreat in Delray Beach offers just that, a quiet<br />
place where you feel right at home with a retreat experience for<br />
the whole body. Your transformation begins in their barrel style<br />
Finnish sauna and ends in the Infrared Saunas, where the chromotherapy<br />
deepens your detox, and provides cellular-level benefits to<br />
your skin, muscles, joints, and organs. Cooling showers are located<br />
outside in the garden by the meditation swing and a cold bucket<br />
pour is being added for contrast therapy to boost the immune system<br />
and help relieve physical pain in the body.<br />
Everything Thermae offers is purposeful and one of those experiences<br />
is massage therapy. The tremendous benefits include releasing<br />
tension and toxins, helping to move systems in the body, and<br />
chatter out of the mind. Some of the massage offerings are traditional<br />
Swedish, deep tissue, or hot salt rock massage. Master therapist<br />
Brooke Renick specializes in cupping therapy and lymphatic<br />
draining treatments, while Thermae partner Shaman Debra Kelly<br />
combines energy healing and sound bath in her massage ‘Sacred<br />
Bodywork’ that assists in releasing toxic energies such as anger<br />
or guilt. Esthetician Leah offers energy facials using light therapy,<br />
crystals and ayurvedic traditions in her treatments.<br />
“I want people to start looking at massage and skin care in a different<br />
way. When you take the time for yourself you should be taking<br />
the time for the whole body, not just the physical, but the mental,<br />
the emotional and the spiritual. Massage and skincare should<br />
be an experience, a renewing, a healing, instead of just something<br />
you do for yourself a few times a year,” said Kelly Doyle, owner of<br />
Thermae Retreat. “It’s a pretty normal occurrence for someone to<br />
come out of a room after a treatment and begin to cry on my shoulder.<br />
They simply let whatever comes up, go.”<br />
Stepping further into the emotional and spiritual retreat, therapist<br />
Kelly Grace brings beautiful intensions and healing into your<br />
treatment. Shaman Debra Kelly also hosts half day shamanic healing<br />
sessions, private and group sounds baths, and Thai foot reflexology.<br />
Also offered is a heart opening Geranium and Cedar Chakra<br />
scrub and a powerful detoxifying scrub and clay with zeolite, charcoal<br />
and bentonite. Stepping into the newest in medicinal technology,<br />
master therapist Lisa Hoffman uses frequency in a whole<br />
different way, with scalar and low-level lasers. One of her massage<br />
treatments focused on pain and muscle stiffness combines massage,<br />
scalar waves, and other technology to release, bring blood<br />
into tissue, and help heal chronic issues.<br />
Practitioner Deborah Picou offers QHHT sessions, Quantum<br />
Healing Hypnosis Technique, which takes you back to past lives<br />
to find anything that is affecting you in a negative way in this life,<br />
and she is currently working on her Doctorate and PhD in Natural<br />
Medicine. While Sophie Soudai, known as one of the Wise Women,<br />
guides you through a Family Constellations session, taking you<br />
back generations to find disconnections or unwanted connections<br />
that no longer serve you today.<br />
The Delray Beach location has also expanded their space and<br />
merged gardens with Anuttara Yoga. This new community, in your<br />
community, contributes to the Thermae Retreat experience that is<br />
unlike any other. You can come for an hour or an afternoon simply<br />
to relax and detox in the saunas.<br />
Leah Kirkpatrick - Ayurvedic Crystal & Light Facials Brooke Renick - Hot Salt Stone Massage Lisa Hoffman - Massage with Scalar Waves<br />
for pain and skin renewal
Kelly M. Doyle - owner<br />
Thermae and Anuttara hosted their first corporate convention.<br />
Instead of ballrooms and heavy food and drink, the guests<br />
started with a Kundalini yoga session before their first meeting<br />
followed by saunas, sound baths and 30-minute massages,<br />
time in the meditation space, then a break-out with juices and<br />
smoothies from café Joyfull in the garden.<br />
“Thermae Retreat is like a second home for people to stop in<br />
or stay and find stillness. We watch someone through the window<br />
outside on a call come in, body tense, suddenly stop and<br />
take a breath. They walk out of a treatment room, eyes glazed<br />
and glide down the hall to a hot sauna and a cool shower. As<br />
they leave, they are thinking more clearly, they are centered<br />
and present,” said Kelly. “Many members are now off their arthritis<br />
medications from using the saunas, and others are here<br />
to detox their body and strengthen immunity.” The walls are<br />
infused with selenite crystal which cleans the energy of everyone<br />
who walks in the door.<br />
Thermae Retreat has continued to grow into its evolutionary<br />
objective: To help others awaken and find their true path,<br />
and to give those whose path is to assist in these journeys a<br />

The Delray Chamber Nonprofit Council Has<br />
Been Telling Stories Like Never Before All Year!<br />
By Lynn Van Lenten, Member Services Director/Liaison for Nonprofit Council<br />
Today the group is back home at the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce<br />
Some of the brave NPC Committee leading the group<br />
After a long quiet COVID year, the Delray Chamber’s Nonprofit<br />
Council knew they needed to help local nonprofit<br />
organizations find their voice again. Braving the pandemic,<br />
the council’s leadership committee looked at <strong>2021</strong> and decided to<br />
start meeting -- in person – once again. Launching in January, with<br />
the support of the Arts Garage, this pioneer group gathered and<br />
spread out around this music venue tables to begin telling their<br />
stories again.<br />
Through expert leaders, speakers and supporters, the group started<br />
the journey back to tell who they are, why they exist and how they plan<br />
to continue the outreach they believe in. With the theme of “Telling<br />
Your Story Like Never Before” monthly meetings targeted the art of<br />
storytelling, the renewed need for branding, video & pictures, how to<br />
really use social media, write press releases and tell their story from<br />
the heart. Each new topic renewed the stories that had gone quiet, and<br />
each month brought new recruits. The group continues to grow…..all<br />
with the desire of telling their story again.<br />
Today, with vaccines behind us and new variants before us, our future<br />
seems a bit scary but the story continues to be told. Diana Rosayn,<br />
NPC Chair & Marketing Director for Be Like Brit Foundation shared,<br />
“Despite and in spite of this difficult time we continue to grow and have<br />
incredible impact. Now more than ever, nonprofits are determined<br />
to share their story in a new way. As a committee we came together<br />
wanting to provide our nonprofit community the right support, tools<br />
and templates to reinvigorate and ready their missions. As individuals,<br />
we realized that meeting in-person has truly brought our stories to life<br />
and built a community that confirmed we truly are stronger together.”<br />
The Council will end their year in December with a Story Telling<br />
Competition, allowing participants to write & present a 500-word story<br />
to a panel of judges. A robust prize package will be awarded along<br />
with a special lunch for everyone in attendance. It will be a party celebrating<br />
this brave story-telling journey through <strong>2021</strong>! “As Chamber<br />
liaison for the Nonprofit Council, I have been amazed and honored<br />
to be a part of this pioneer group. Their courage, their mission, their<br />
ability to pivot and adjust is astounding. Always with their mission in<br />
mind, fueled by the needs and the people behind those needs, they<br />
have continued to tell their stories,” said Lynn Van Lenten, Member<br />
Services Director at the Delray Chamber.<br />
And hopefully 2022 will allow them to tell an even better story.<br />
One of health and safety, of growth and support……truly ”A Story Like<br />
Never Before!”<br />

Perth, Australia<br />
Delights “Down Under”<br />
BY Lisa Marie<br />
It’s a long way to travel and currently it’s<br />
‘off limits’ but plan a future trip to Perth,<br />
Australia, it’s a fabulous place to visit.<br />
Let’s face it; Australia REALLY is on the other side of the world!<br />
Travelling times vary but the quickest you will get there is<br />
around 30 hours. However, you could break up the travel<br />
time by stopping off at various destinations on route.<br />
Swan River<br />
Qantas Airline (Australia’s leading carrier) offers flights from Miami,<br />
stopping in Los Angeles, and again in Sydney, Australia before<br />
the last leg of the journey into Perth. So why not take the opportunity<br />
to stroll down Rodeo Drive or visit Mickey at Disney Land? On<br />
your next stop take a trip to visit the famous Sydney Opera House.<br />
Visit www.qantas.com.au/US for flight information.<br />
Once in Perth you will be met by a picture-postcard city. Situated<br />
on the banks of the Swan River, it is a perfect setting. In summer<br />
(December - February) the weather is fantastic, with temperatures<br />
ranging from 65 degrees to around 86 degrees and over<br />
50 miles of clean, white sandy beaches; Perth’s coastline is ideal<br />
for swimming and surfing.<br />
The city offers a ‘free travel zone’ for buses to get you around, where<br />
you can visit the Perth Mint, Swan Bells Tower, Art Gallery of WA,<br />
Western Australia Museum and many more Perth tourist attractions.<br />
For some spectacular panoramic views of Perth and the river, a<br />
visit to Kings Park and Botanic gardens is a must! Take full advantage<br />
of the many lookout points available to the public or try the<br />
treetop walk for a unique view of the city or just enjoy a relaxing<br />
picnic in one of the many recreation areas of the park.<br />
Visit King Street for some up-market retail therapy, packed<br />
with boutiques, art galleries, eateries, and beautiful people; it’s<br />
the place to be seen!<br />
66 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
Just 10 minutes north of the city is Scarborough Beach where you<br />
can fish, swim, surf, skate, and windsurf. If you travel another 10<br />
minutes north, you will find Hillarys Marina. A recreation boating<br />
harbor with restaurants, bars, shops, galleries, and tourist attractions<br />
set on walkways over the Indian Ocean. From here you can<br />
take a 45-minute ferry to Rottnest Island where you can experience<br />
some fantastic diving and snorkeling amongst the coral reefs,<br />
hidden bays, and deserted cycle paths waiting to be explored. The<br />
small marsupial quokka, a bit like a small Kangaroo, only exists on<br />
this island, and in some parts, they have become very tame.<br />
Alternatively, if you head south from Perth you will come to Fremantle.<br />
Fremantle is recognized as the best-preserved 19th Century<br />
seaport in the world! Over 150 buildings in the port city are<br />
classified by the National Trust. These include The Round House<br />
which was built in 1831 and is the oldest public building in W.A.,<br />
The Esplanade Hotel which was built in 1890s, and the Fremantle<br />
Prison which was built by convict labor in the 1850s. You can also<br />
get a ferry to Rottnest Island from here.<br />
Still heading south, you come across the town of Rockingham.<br />
Here there are water sports of all kinds, ocean cruises, camping, sailing,<br />
dolphin encounters, swimming, crabbing, museums, penguin<br />
and seal tours, wine tasting, theaters, golfing…plus much more.<br />
Thirty minutes south of Rockingham you reach Mandurah, where<br />
the heart of the city is arranged around an estuary, crisscrossed<br />
by pleasure boats and pontoon barges, and is alive with cafes and<br />
restaurants dotted along the boardwalks. Follow the meandering<br />
waterways out into the Peel Region, and restaurants, wineries,<br />
historical sites, and many other attractions bring still more variety<br />
and fresh surprises to your Mandurah visit. We spotted some<br />
spectacular homes on the water, and it reminded me of our very<br />
own Intracoastal.<br />
Kalbarri National Park<br />
But of course, no trip to Western Australia would be complete<br />
without a visit into the ‘bush.’ One of WA most popular places is<br />
Kalbarri National Park, a seven-hour drive from Perth or you can fly<br />
there in about 2 hours. Located on WA’s mid north coast, Kalbarri<br />
National Park is known for its spectacular scenery and red rock<br />
gorges that were cut from the landscape by the mighty Murchison<br />
River. It offers a range of adventure activities like bush walking,<br />
gorge hiking, and canoeing.<br />
The park is rich in bird life and other animals. Most native mammals<br />
are nocturnal, but you can sometimes see western grey kangaroos<br />
and emus during the day. The park also takes in amazing<br />
coastal cliffs and gorges including<br />
Red Bluff and Pot Alley. Visit<br />
www.kalbarri.org.au for more<br />
information.<br />
If you have the time in your<br />
schedule, take a flight out to Uluru/Ayers<br />
Rock, a giant monolith<br />
located in the southern<br />
part of the Northern Territory,<br />
Central Australia. It was named<br />
Uluru long before Europeans<br />
encountered it. The rock was<br />
sighted in 1872 by explorer Ernest<br />
Giles and was first visited<br />
by a European the following<br />
year, when surveyor William<br />
Gosse named it Ayers Rock after<br />
Sir Henry Ayers, the Chief<br />
Secretary of South Australia at<br />
the time. Experience art and<br />
culture, history and heritage,<br />
nature and wildlife, and family<br />
activities.<br />
I hope this has given you a<br />
taste of what Western Australia<br />
has to offer.<br />

Emelie Konopka<br />
I’ve worked<br />
very hard in<br />
my career<br />
to establish<br />
myself as<br />
a leader<br />
who holds<br />
positions<br />
that impact<br />
and influence<br />
others<br />

Leader, Communicator, Visionary<br />
Everyone has a role in life. If you ask Emelie Konopka what<br />
hers is she sums it up like this: “My primary roles in life are<br />
wife, mother, and Retail Executive Director.”<br />
But Konopka is clearly modest to a fault. Her role is much less linear<br />
and more comprehensive in all directions.<br />
As someone who started high school at the age of 13 and<br />
graduated at sweet sixteen, Konopka could be considered a brainiac.<br />
She was Valedictorian of her high school class and graduated with a 4.0<br />
grade point. She’s also a classically trained pianist and flutist who performed<br />
in jazz bands and marching bands in high school in Louisiana.<br />
However, music eluded Konopka in her career path. Instead, she<br />
found success as a retail store manager and executive at stores such as<br />
Charming Charlie, Target and New York & Company. Her current position<br />
as Regional Director (of the South) for Rue 21 takes Konopka on<br />
the road more than half the month. But that’s business as usual for this<br />
dedicated retail professional.<br />
Her all-consuming position at Rue 21 and her consulting business<br />
(EDK Strategy consultants) does not deter her from volunteering, nor<br />
from her pursuit of music and culture.<br />
When meeting with Konopka you can see her passion is closely<br />
aligned with the tempo within her grasp. She has two cell phones,<br />
that she alternatively glances at, but she is definitely attuned to the<br />
matter at hand.<br />
Currently, that hand is closely fixated on Old School Square, where<br />
she was recently crowned Chairman of the Board. Not a newcomer to<br />
the OSS territory (and thematic relevance) Konopka was on their Board<br />
of Directors before she was recently anointed Chairman of the Board.<br />
This volunteer position, that carries quite a lot of weight in the organization,<br />
comes with hefty responsibilities. But clearly Konopka is<br />
up to the task.<br />
“I’ve worked very hard in my career to establish myself as a leader<br />
who holds positions that impact and influence others – and being chairman<br />
defines that role,” said the Louisiana native, who was a thespian<br />
and debate champ in school.<br />
Konopka has worked hard. She started out at JC Penney wrapping<br />
gifts in the Women’s Foundation Department as a teen, and now oversees<br />
137 stores in 11 states for Rue21.<br />
Hard work was part of her family dynamics. Her grandmother Vera<br />
showed Konopka that a woman’s role is as expansive as her aspirations.<br />
“My grandmother inspired me. She was a logistics manager at JC Penney,<br />
a wife, mother, artist and volunteer. She was a strong woman.”<br />
Konopka learned from Vera that women can do anything they want<br />
– with the right amount of determination and hard work. That’s the<br />
reason she has worked in some of the most successful retail chains<br />
in the country.<br />
Her resume winds and tilts on a retail axis with words like empowering,<br />
motivating, team collaboration, maximizing strengths and profit in<br />
competitive markets.<br />
But Konopka is equally tethered to the earth by way of her other passions<br />
– cooking, art, music, yoga, mother to Caitlyn and wife to John.<br />
“During Covid I cooked my way through two Julia Child’s Cookbooks.<br />
Cassoulet has become a staple in our house.”<br />
Though her life is a merry-go-round of activity, Konopka is always the<br />
safe port in the storm. “When everything gets chaotic I am the voice of<br />
reason. To be an effective leader you must listen to understand, instead<br />
of listening to respond.”<br />
It is this ability to assess a situation and understand its cause, that<br />
allows Konopka to find solutions to problems and create change. It<br />
also allows her to be a good leader, whether it be a retail store or a<br />
concert venue.<br />
Cornell Museum Director and Curator Melanie Johanson has seen<br />
this talent close up. “Emelie comes with a strong vision for the future<br />
of Old School Square. She has spearheaded our Fall programs with a<br />
collection of Max Weinberg’s photos and memorabilia and is someone<br />
in leadership I can always rely on.”<br />
Konopka was instrumental in creating an upcoming “Night Under the<br />
Stars,” an open house for all venues at Old School Square. She is excited<br />
about adding a commercial kitchen to the renovation mix at the Crest<br />
Theatre so they can do catering and offer culinary classes.<br />
Everyone who has seen Konopka up close in meetings (and discussions)<br />
is impressed with her logic, communication skills, vision, and<br />
compassion.<br />
Elise Johnson Nail is one of them.<br />
“Emelie is smart, dedicated, and an extremely accomplished business<br />
leader and personnel expert. In my decades of business, I have met very<br />
few people with her skill set, empathy, and wisdom. Any organization<br />
would be extremely lucky to have her, and right now that organization<br />
is Old School Square. She is truly inspirational and one-of-a-kind.”<br />
Konopka also created a committee for OSS called Omni. This initiative<br />
will integrate the different venues and mediums of entertainment<br />
that permeate the OSS campus. “We will be creating traffic and footsteps<br />
through what we offer. It is important that we work together and<br />
collaborate as a team to connect with each other.”<br />
The new Chairman of the Board of OSS is also concerned about<br />
young people’s exposure to the arts. “It’s a challenge today for<br />
young people because schools are leaving art and music out of the<br />
curriculum. OSS plays a big role in providing an outlet of expression<br />
for children.”<br />
In her 30-year career in retail Konopka has scaled the heights of<br />
leadership, sales, and management. It is those skills (and more) than<br />
make her the perfect leader for the sustainability and growth of Old<br />
School Square.<br />
“I have visions for Old School Square, not only for the health of the<br />
organization but ways to give back. I always said, ‘if I didn’t have to<br />
work for a living, I would love to lead a non-profit organization.’”<br />
It seems that Konopka is realizing that dream. And those around<br />
her couldn’t be happier.<br />

Homemade Food Made to Please You<br />
IL CONTADINO RISTORANTE<br />
Michel Menna is a people<br />
pleaser – in a foodie kind of way.<br />
He dotes on his customers with homemade Italian fare at his<br />
intimate restaurant in Pineapple Grove.<br />
The restaurant, Il Contadino is a place where people<br />
come to celebrate holidays, birthdays or just want to luxuriate in<br />
the pampering and power of a homemade Italian meal.<br />
Menna likes when his patrons call ahead to tell him what foods<br />
they prefer. That way he has time to create the perfect version of<br />
their favorite dishes with élan.<br />
Veal Siciliana<br />
Ken Chiarella came to Il Contadino with his mother Marilyn<br />
(who was celebrating a milestone birthday) and three of his<br />
friends. All are snowbirds and find themselves smitten with the<br />
culinary prowess of Menna.<br />
“Michel puts out food that is second to none. Everything is personalized<br />
and fresh, and the flavors are distinct and amazing. Every<br />
time we come here, he asks us what we want, and then he<br />
prepares it beautifully.”<br />
When Ken’s mom Marilyn asked for lamb chops for her birthday<br />
dinner, Menna didn’t have them. But within an hour they<br />
mysteriously appeared in front of her with all the trimmings. She<br />
beamed with delight as her son looked on with amazement and<br />
accolades fit for a prince.<br />
“I have been to the best restaurants in New York and Italy and<br />
Michel is as good as all of them. I always tell the truth; this place<br />
is amazing.”<br />
Others feel the same way. “Do not walk past this place when you<br />
visit downtown Delray. If you’re a true foodie tell Owner/Chef Michel<br />
you want to try the meatball first and you will be blown away!<br />
Then enjoy dinner and very fine wines! Support your local chef,<br />
there’s no one better!”<br />
Some of the dishes that Ken and his guests (Sam and Judy Maruca)<br />
had are steeped in Italian tradition and prepared artfully and<br />
tastefully. They raved about the artichoke hearts basted in garlic<br />
with a wine sauce, sprinkled with Reggiano cheese. As lovers of<br />
homemade Italian food, the group feasted on Zuppa di Mussels in<br />
a light tomato sauce with clam broth, as well as Cowboy Rib-Eye<br />
84 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
Peperonata with peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms in a<br />
red tomato sauce.<br />
Cooking has been a passion of Menna’s since he was a tot. When<br />
his parents were away, he would go into the kitchen and create<br />
gourmet dishes for them. “My parents would come home and say,<br />
‘who catered this meal.’ I could barely reach the stove, but I loved<br />
cooking, it’s always been my creative outlet.”<br />
His guests can tell. “This pasta made me feel like I was in Italy.<br />
We have been here so many times and it’s always wonderful,” said<br />
Maruca. His wife Judy was all smiles as the spaghetti with anchovies,<br />
garlic, olive oil, and breadcrumbs came to the table.<br />
One of Menna’s finest dishes is his tequila tortellini, prepared<br />
tableside in a flame-lit pan that sparks the tequila to adhere to the<br />
creamy light sauce. Add that to the peas, prosciutto, and Reggiano<br />
cheese, and you have a delicious pasta that hails from the greats.<br />
It seems Michel is always on the prowl for new dishes and new<br />
experiences. After all, he has been in the restaurant business for 40<br />
years. Just recently he tasted potato latkes from another restaurant.<br />
Not impressed he quickly got out his frying pan and tried his hand<br />
at this ethnic dish. What he came up with is a potato latke lover’s<br />
dream. Tasty, crispy, and fresh, they seemed to disappear as quick as<br />
they came to the table. He also added sour cream to the center fold.<br />
For Marilyn’s birthday, Menna cooked up a rack of lamb with<br />
roasted garlic and rosemary. It was a dream dish, she said. And she<br />
ought to know. The Boynton Beach resident cooked delicious authentic<br />
Italian meals for her family for years.<br />
For Michel time does not stop. Though the restaurant business<br />
has been hard hit by the pandemic he continues to experiment in<br />
new ways to please guests. “I will be open for breakfast if people<br />
want me to. I make great omelets with fresh vegetables and other<br />
style egg dishes. People just have to call me.”<br />
Menna is also making fresh pizzas with all the trimmings of the<br />
pizza heritage. There is a difference between pizza and homemade<br />
pizza, and Michel wants to show everyone the difference. Also<br />
new at Il Contadino are fresh paninis and wraps with meats, fresh<br />
cheese, lettuce and tomato.<br />
Other outstanding dishes are Pork Osso Bucco that is braised all<br />
day with tomatoes and vegetables as well Mozzarella En Carrozza.<br />
If you are a fish lover, try the whole Branzini, baked with garlic and<br />
wine, delicately cooked.<br />
If you are celebrating a special occasion Menna will prepare<br />
Cowboy Ribeye Steak Pepperonata<br />
homemade dishes for as many people can fit inside this intimate<br />
space. He also has over a thousand different wines from around the<br />
globe waiting to be opened.<br />
The Chiaprella and Maruca clan had a bottle of Napa Valley Eagle<br />
Eye red wine that was divine. Full-bodied and smooth to the palate,<br />
it was an excellent choice. Whatever your wine preference is,<br />
Menna will make it happen.<br />
That might be another reason people love dining there. “Michael<br />
and his staff take the farm to table concept to new heights. I had<br />
Eggplant Napoleon, wow. A fresh and delicious take on eggplant<br />
rollatini. His presentation of veal cutlet with eggplant gave new life<br />
to an old favorite – it was amazing. Topped it off with cannoli and<br />
cappuccino. Best ever. This place is the real deal,” said Doug.<br />
It’s comments like Doug’s that makes Michel smile. It is also what<br />
makes his passion flame – not only table side – but inside his heart.<br />

<strong>September</strong> is National<br />
Fruit and Vegetable month!<br />
Let’s have fun with creative ways to prepare some<br />
of our local fresh produce! Head on over to our local<br />
GreenMarket and pick up fresh fruits and veggies!<br />
Corn! Grill it, steam it,<br />
boil it, eat it on the cob:<br />
Nothing beats fresh corn.<br />
Butter Boiled Corn<br />
Ingredients:<br />
6-8 ears of corn, shucked<br />
1 stick of butter<br />
1 Cup of milk<br />
Salt to taste - optional<br />
Directions:<br />
Fill a large pot about halfway with water. Bring<br />
water to a boil. Add milk and butter. Add corn<br />
and reduce heat. Simmer corn for 6 to 8 minutes<br />
Remove corn from cooking liquid and its ready<br />
to serve.<br />
Corn Spoon Bread<br />
Ingredients:<br />
3 cups whole milk<br />
2 cups fresh corn kernels or one 10-ounce package<br />
frozen corn, thawed<br />
3/4 cup finely ground cornmeal<br />
2 tblspoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish<br />
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt<br />
1/4 teaspoon black pepper<br />
2 large eggs, lightly beaten<br />
Directions:<br />
Heat oven to 350° F.<br />
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, bring 2<br />
cups of the milk and the corn to a boil.<br />
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining<br />
milk and the cornmeal. Whisking constantly,<br />
slowly add the mixture to the boiling milk. Reduce<br />
heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently,<br />
for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter,<br />
thyme, salt, pepper, and eggs.<br />
Transfer to a buttered casserole or cast-iron skillet.<br />
Bake until golden and set, about 30 minutes.<br />
Serve warm or at room temperature.<br />
Cauliflower is an often<br />
over looked vegetable.<br />
But no more! Try these<br />
two ways to prepare<br />
broccoli’s cousin.<br />
Spicy Whole<br />
Roasted<br />
Cauliflower<br />
90 | september <strong>2021</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com
Ingredients:<br />
1 tablespoon vegetable oil<br />
1 head cauliflower<br />
1½ cups plain Greek yogurt<br />
1 lime, zested and juiced<br />
2 tablespoons chili powder<br />
1 tablespoon cumin<br />
1 tablespoon garlic powder<br />
1 teaspoon curry powder<br />
2 teaspoons kosher salt<br />
1 teaspoon black pepper<br />
Directions:<br />
Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a<br />
small baking sheet with vegetable oil. Set aside.<br />
Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any<br />
green leaves and the woody stem.<br />
In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the<br />
lime zest and juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic<br />
powder, curry powder, salt and pepper.<br />
Dunk the cauliflower into the bowl and use a<br />
brush or your hands to smear the marinade evenly<br />
over its surface. (Excess marinade can be stored<br />
in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up<br />
to three days and used with meat, fish or other<br />
veggies.)<br />
Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking<br />
sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly<br />
browned, 30 to 40 minutes. The marinade will<br />
make a crust on the surface of the cauliflower.<br />
Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes before<br />
cutting it into.<br />
Buffalo Cauliflower<br />
Ingredients:<br />
Olive Oil cooking spray<br />
3/4 cup baking flour<br />
1 cup water<br />
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
Salt and pepper to taste<br />
2 heads of cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces<br />
2 table spoons butter<br />
1/2 cup Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce<br />
1 teaspoon honey<br />
Directions:<br />
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease a baking<br />
sheet with cooking spray.<br />
Mix flour, water, garlic powder, salt and pepper<br />
together in a bowl with a whisk until batter is<br />
smooth and a bit runny. Add cauliflower to batter<br />
and mix until cauliflower is coated. spread onto<br />
baking sheet.<br />
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned,<br />
20-25 minutes.<br />
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.<br />
Remove saucepan from heat and stir in hot sauce<br />
and honey into butter until smooth. Brush hot<br />
sauce mixture over each piece of cauliflower until<br />

1 lb angel hair spaghetti<br />
4 large garlic cloves, minced<br />
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes<br />
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil<br />
Finely grated zest from 2 lemons<br />
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<br />

water if pasta seems dry.)<br />

What is a Proper Diet and<br />
How Does My Pet Change with it?<br />
Most pet parents want to do the very best for their beloved<br />
pets. We observe many pets with designer collars and leads,<br />
pricey fashion apparel, special beds for their morning and<br />
afternoon naps (as some sleep in their parent’s bed at night), luxury<br />
visits to the grooming spa and daycare for playtime. Pet owners spare<br />
no cost to keep pets happy and healthy including costly medical care<br />
and premium foods.<br />
With thoughts that we are doing the very best for our pets, we<br />
should all consider this: unlike their ancestors in the wild, our pets<br />
are experiencing shorter life spans with many more health issues<br />
than previous generations. Cancers, liver and kidney issues, autoimmune<br />
disorders, chronic allergies including skin and coat issues, ear<br />
and anal gland problems, yeast and urinary infections, and finally joint<br />
and pain issues plague our beloved pets. What is behind this trend of<br />
dysregulation of the healthy body and causing what the medical community<br />
describes as disease?<br />
In the natural health community, we are always looking beyond<br />
the symptoms and see the causes of this health dysfunction. We start<br />
with the most basic of premises that all disease has only two basic<br />
core causes - deficiency (malnutrition) and toxicity (poison). With that<br />
knowledge, natural health professionals start the search by evaluating<br />
your pets’ and even your own lifestyle to find where the toxins are<br />
coming from and the quality of the foods that are consumed.<br />
Often, it is only after a diagnosis of health challenges and costly testing<br />
and treatments that result in marginal, little, or no cures, that food<br />
is then looked upon. At that point, veterinarian approved, formulated<br />
pet foods are recommended which at times the pet won’t even eat.<br />
After jumping from formula to formula many pets only acquire short<br />
term results.<br />
Pet owners are often put into conflict between following medicinal<br />
advice based on the pharmaceutical model of medicine or natural<br />
health, based in nature, species appropriate diet entrees that include<br />
botanical, earth and herbal foods. Healing is never about a single solution,<br />
drug, food, herb or therapeutic approach. It involves the integration<br />
of many components of multiple modalities.<br />
The fundamentals begin at the cellular level with feeding every cell in<br />
the body with the proper species appropriate nutrition and not killing<br />
or altering those cells with toxic or synthetic substances that the body<br />
will reject. Every food product has a direct effect on growth and nourishing<br />
at the cellular level which is necessary for health and healing.<br />
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it was recognized that you<br />
treat “like with like.” As the body is constantly replacing cells, we<br />
should be creating healthy new cells. If you are suffering from a heart<br />
problem, the nutritional profile of heart meat will duplicate in the reproduction<br />
of new healthy heart cells. Same is true with all the major<br />
body function centers.<br />
If your pet was already changed to a real whole raw or home cooked<br />
food diet, what changed and how quickly did you see them? Were you<br />
discouraged from following this path but saw the results with your<br />
own eyes? Yes, it takes time to cleanse the body and understand some<br />
minor challenges. It’s worth it to watch your pets heal and thrive with<br />
a health and vitality extended life.<br />
