It’s Getting 

Hot in Here!!! 

July is arguably one of the hottest months here in South 

Florida so, while our seasonal visitors head back north 

to escape our heat, us locals relish in less crowded 

restaurants and venues. The summer is also when our 

local merchants and businesses need us the most, so let’s 

keep the Ave, the Grove, and A1A buzzing with energy! 

There’s no better place to celebrate Independence Day than 

in our All America City! For over 50 years The City of Delray has 

hosted a family friendly event that welcomes over 70,000 people 

to our beach. There is live music, food eating contests, food 

trucks, vendors, children’s activities, and so much more! And 

once it gets dark…FIREWORKS!!! Look inside for our feature An 

All American July 4th for more details. 

Our City Person this month is a Dynamic Duo. When Judy 

Fenney and Kathleen Megan met, they knew they were going to 

be friends and partners in doing good. They work tirelessly to 

help the underserved in our community, and Delray Beach is a 

better place because of them. 

Let’s keep in mind that hurricane season is here, and we need 

to gather supplies – preparation is key! Stock up on bathroom 

and cleaning supplies, as well as medicines, water, candles, 

flashlights, and batteries. And make sure to have an evacuation 

plan for you and your pets. 

Keep Cool Delray! 

The 

quieter 

you 

become, 

the more 

you are 

able to 

hear. 

— Rumi

Back-to-School 

Drive Launches 

Early 

The GL Homes and Boys & Girls 

Clubs of Palm Beach County’s Back 

To School Drive will ensure most disadvantaged 

students are prepared for 

the new school year. 


Clubs of Palm Beach County Back To 

School Drive launched on June 1 to 

help reduce a historic achievement 

gap with low-income minority students 

by providing a free backpack 

stuffed with necessary school supplies. 

A recent study published by 

the National Bureau of Economic Research 

(NBER) found minority students 

from low-income households 

suffered a 50% greater achievement 

loss than other students compared to 

pre-pandemic achievement results. 

The study exposed a historic widening 

of achievement gaps by race and economic 

status. 

GL Homes is the title sponsor of 

Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach 

County’s Back To School Drive. Their 

support is crucial to helping more 

than 2500 children and teens across 

the county who live at or below the 

poverty line receive a backpack full of 

needed school supplies. With the results 

of the NBER study uncovering a 

historic achievement gap, it’s imperative 

that all Club members return to 

the classroom with the essential tools 

needed to be successful. 


Clubs of Palm Beach County Back To 

School Drive began June 1 and will run 

through August 1. Drop-off locations 

for backpacks and school supplies 

are scattered throughout Palm Beach 

County, including most libraries and 

Starbucks. Drop off locations open to 

the public can be found at this link 

https://bit.ly/3x9RULS. Donations 

can also be made virtually by purchasing 

backpacks stuffed with needed 

school supplies for only $10. To donate 

online, click the link https://

Written by Jess Wellar 

Photography by Madga Hernandez 

Now Broker-Owner of Realty 

Home Advisors, with two offices 

and roughly 200 agents under 

her leadership in Boca Raton and 

Delray Beach, it turns out Eileen’s hunch was 

right. 

NY: The Early Years 

Eileen grew up in Long Island and graduated 

from the New York Institute of Technology 

with a degree in business administration. 

Fresh out of college she worked for an entertainment 

company in Manhattan but quickly 

grew frustrated by the limited opportunities 

for advancement. 

Craving a career with greater flexibility and 

limitless potential, Eileen also knew she 

wanted to raise a family and help others 

succeed. Real estate provided the opportunity 

to have it all. 

Eileen recalls, “I signed up for a real estate 

salesperson’s course that same week that I 

bought my fourth house and joined Prudential 

Long Island Realty (now Douglas Elliman) 

after passing the test,” Eileen continues, 

“I loved that I could be an entrepreneur and 

be in charge of my own destiny. My first year 

in the business, 1986, I was “Rookie of the 

Year” with 38 closed transactions. Subsequently, 

I was also Top Producer of the year.” 

The Florida Move 

“In 2002, my husband and I moved to Boca 

Raton with three young children in tow,” Eileen 

continues. “I always stayed active in sales 

but my most cherished prize are my three 

children, all grown up now.” 

Eileen opened Realty Home Advisors in 

Boca Raton in 2017 and credits her daily 

presence in the office as one of the primary 

reasons agents love working at RHA. 

“As an owner, I wake up every day feeling 

gratitude that I can be there to help my 

agents and be their biggest cheerleader. I am 

very hands on for a broker and I think the 

agents appreciate that personal touch, the 

one-onone. I am always there for them 24/7.” 

Eileen notes Realty Home Advisors also 

offers a growing number of learning opportunities 

for agents, veterans and rookies alike, 

that really help retention and growth. “We 

do business planning, coaching, role playing, 

consulting, contract guidance and disputes,” 

Eileen explains. “Every Wednesday we have 

a team call at 9:30 am where I will pick a 

different topic to discuss followed by a Q&A 

session afterwards.” Last year, Realty Home 

Advisors sales volume was $512 million, and 

according to Eileen, 2022 seems to be on a 

similar pace with families flocking to the east 

coast of Florida from the Northeast. Not one 

for the spotlight, Eileen is quick to give credit 

to her hard-working team for RHA’s success. 

Eileen 

MCNAMARA VECCHIO 

REALTY HOME ADVISORS 

Leading with A Personal Touch 

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” 

“I was always fascinated by the real estate market and bought my first house 

when I was 25… I actually owned four houses myself by the time I was 28.” 

Eileen McNamara Vecchio recalls. “I rented the houses out… and while looking 

for investment property, I remember thinking I could be good at this.” 

“I couldn’t do this without my amazing 

staff… All the right people are in place 

and agents often remark how everything is 

running like a welloiled machine. We have six 

Personal Business Coordinators that manage 

the REALTORS® transactions and every 

agent is paid within 24 hours of closing.” 

When pressed for details as to why she thinks 

her agents stick around, Eileen points out 

there’s absolutely no red tape at her brokerage. 

Eileen says, “I try to listen to my agents 

when they express a need and adjust accordingly. 

I know my agents also enjoy the fact 

that we are an independent brokerage; we can 

be flexible when needed without having to go 

through layers of management… I can make 

the decision right there on the spot.” 

When Eileen isn’t at her desk, she enjoys 

traveling, being in nature and spending time 

with her family and three kittens, two of 

whom she rescued. Eileen plans to eventually 

scale back her time in the office to focus on 

her family, but she never plans to stop doing 

what she loves – helping others succeed. 

With a father who is also a real estate broker, 

a son who is a practicing real estate attorney, 

and a daughter who is a commercial property 

manager, Eileen would not be surprised if one 

of her children eventually took over RHA. 

“When they were growing up, my kids heard 

me on the phone talking about real estate all 

day long because I was doing sales back then,” 

Eileen laughs. “So we shall see… but that would 

be wonderful if it all works out some day.” 

Eileen looks forward to cheerleading from 

her broker desk and offers some sage advice 

to owners and agents alike: “It’s always 

important to have a business plan and to set 

goals, have a great attitude and live every day 

with a schedule to achieve those goals.”

AS AN OWNER, I WAKE UP 

EVERY DAY FEELING GRATITUDE 

that I can be there to help my agents 

and be their biggest cheerleader.

“Unfortunately, the impact of Covid is still being felt by teachers, 

students and parents as there are less resources but the needs 

haven’t changed. If anything, the needs have increased,” said Partner 

Anuj Grover. 

School supply drives have a significant impact as teachers 

spend an average of $750 to $1,000 out of their own pocket on 

supplies for their classroom. Grover Corlew is collecting backpacks, 

folders, notebooks, pencils, art supplies and more that 

will distributed through the Education Foundation of Palm Beach 

County and Broward Education Foundation. The company has 

been supporting schools in Palm Beach and Broward counties for 

more than five years. 

According to 90% of teachers surveyed by the national non-profit 

Kids in Need Foundation, three in four students arrive to class 

without the requisite school supplies necessary for learning. 

“Educating future generations is important to Mark and me,” 

Grover said. “We see the value in the public school system as both 

of us attended public schools. It’s particularly important to support 

Title I schools.”

Students this School Year

Wesley Lowe Jr and Gerard Schwarz 

Palm Beach Symphony reached 7,943 K-12 students during the 

2021-2022 school year via innovative programs presented at no 

charge to the schools or students. Players of the Palm Beach Symphony 

mentored young musicians enrolled in orchestra and band 

classes, and they also performed for student audiences school-wide 

in Pre-K through 12th grade across Palm Beach County. 

Musicians provided 611 hours of instruction in a variety of formats 

to students in the county’s music programs. Music residences 

were offered at four Title I schools resulting in a total of 40 class 

sessions per month for those students. Music students also learned 

technique, tone, posture, and instrument position in 216 coaching 

sessions that included rehearsing alongside the Symphony musicians. 

The coaching sessions are part of the residencies at the four 

Title I schools. In addition, the Symphony presented 20 in-school 

concerts to elementary through high schools who received mentorship, 

guidance, and inspiration to further their musical interests 

and abilities. 


The Shoe Bird 

Student musicians also shared the limelight as 291 participated in 

performance opportunities at Symphony events and in the community. 

Students and music programs received 109 instrument donations 

from the symphony. The Symphony accepts donations of instruments 

as well as monetary donations to purchase and cover costs for needed 

instrument repairs before distributing them to students. 

In School Concert 

The Palm Beach Symphony’s education programs are made possible 

through support from The Paul and Sandra Goldner Conservatory 

of Music, Lois Pope, the Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation, Mr. 

William Robertson, James R. Borynack and Adolfo Zaralegui/Findlay 

Galleries, Eric Friedheim Foundation, Inc. and The Mary Hilem

LuxWorld ® 

BY Alex Khesin 

My name is Alex Khesin and I am an interior designer, 

specializing in high-end residential projects. My work 

brings me tremendous satisfaction considering I get to 

reimagine anything from homes, apartments, home offices, home 

theaters, gaming rooms, patios, and terraces. Over my 20 years of 

experience, I have completed hundreds of projects both domestically 

and internationally. In New York City alone, I worked in the Trump 

Tower, the Trump Tower Hotel, Millennium Tower, Lincoln Center, 

Metropolitan Tower, and the Albert, to name a few. I founded 

LuxWorld ® in 2013, after over a decade of building relationships with 

luxury manufacturers in Europe. What sets LuxWorld ® apart from 

many other interior design companies is the representation/sourcing 

brands portfolio that I have built over this period of time. It consists 

of over 100 high-end European brands! Such direct relationships 

afford me the opportunity to source the most effective materials 

and furnishings to accommodate any project. Another benefit is the 

significant cost savings this offers my clients, allowing them to meet 

their project goals within their budgetary requirements.

BY Gina Netisingha, DIRECTOR of BEVERAGE 

I’ve been in the Hospitality industry for nearly 20 years! I’ve spent 

most of it on the East Coast at properties such as The Surf Club 

Hotel, Le Sirenuse & Champagne Bar in Miami, and most recently 

Four Seasons Hotel, Baltimore. Prior to that, I was a member of Tom 

Colicchio’s management team at Craft Restaurant in NYC, and Chef 

Alain Ducasse’s pre-opening team at Adour Restaurant in Washington, 

D.C. I’ve come to find The Seagate has been a part of the rich, layered 

history of Delray Beach for decades. The relaxed, genuine hospitality of 

the Properties truly embodies the spirit of this special city and provides 

you with a sense of place – whether you are looking for a romantic 

seaside getaway, a golf weekend with the boys, or a buzzy Sunday 

Brunch with friends. It’s truly been an exciting journey since I joined 

in Summer 2021! I must confess that I am somewhat of a Beverage 

nerd (Bubbles & Tequila being some of my fav categories!).Our new 

Beverage & Culinary offerings are fresh and playful — sure to have 

you and yours returning for generations to come. Take it from me! The

Posh PROPERTIES 

BY Philip DeCarlo, Broker Associate 

My name is Philip DeCarlo, and I am a Broker Associate with Posh 

Properties. I hold a Master of Science Degree from NYU and am 

licensed as a Real Estate Broker in New York, New Jersey, and 

Florida. I chose Posh Properties to “hang my hat” after relocating to FL 

from NYC 2 years ago. Posh stood out to me because of their local ties 

within the Delray Beach community. I knew being a Posh agent would be 

a huge asset to my real estate career here in Florida. I purchased my first 

investment property at 23 years old, and since then real estate has been 

a huge passion of mine! The most meaningful part of my career has 

been helping clients fulfill their dream of home ownership. Most of my 

clients have relocated from out of state. Assisting families in their journey 

across state lines and helping them explore all south Florida has to 

offer has been such an honor. Living in Florida has been a dream come 

true for myself and my family, and being able to bring that same joy to my 

clients is a continual goal of mine. My sweetheart Lisa and I have been 

married for 34 years, and we have two children and two grandchildren. 

When I’m not working with my clients you can find me with my wife and 

grandkids at the beach, soaking in the south Florida sun!

Siperstein Dermatology Group 

BY Dr. Elizabeth Lebrun NESTOR 

My name is Dr. Elizabeth Lebrun Nestor, and I am a local 

dermatologist at Siperstein Dermatology Group. My family 

moved to Florida when I was 5 years old, so I am basically 

a South Florida native! I graduated from Saint Andrew’s School and 

attended Cornell University. After life in the cold winters, I moved back 

to be closer to family and sunny weather. I attended both medical 

school and dermatology residency at University of Miami, Jackson 

Memorial Hospital. After graduating, I was lucky enough to find the 

perfect practice and partner, and as soon as I met Dr. Robyn Siperstein, 

I knew I had found a great mentor who shared similar values. I joined

By Darien Davies 

Delray Under $50 

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

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

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

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

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

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

Hot weather, red-white-and-blue everything, and grilling galore. 

This can only mean one thing: July 4th! Independence 

Day falls on Monday, so you have all weekend to prepare 

your party plans. If you prefer to head out instead of staying in, 

The City of Delray Beach cordially invites you and all of your neighbors 

to head downtown for the Delray Beach 4th of July Celebration, 

which has been a family-friendly event for more than 50 years 

that draws around 80,000 people to town. The event starts at 5pm 

with the solemn 60’ flag raising ceremony, with an honor guard 

and the singing of the National Anthem. The spectacular Zambelli 

Fireworks start promptly at 9pm, but there’s plenty to enjoy in between, 

from custard-eating and cheeseburger-eating contests, food 

trucks and vendors, children’s activities and games, non-stop entertainment 

with DJ Big Smile and Groove 2.0 Band, and so much 

more! It’s truly an amazing event and one that is best enjoyed with 

a little bit of sun, fun, and your favorite someone. The celebration 

takes place on East Atlantic Avenue from the Intracoastal Bridge to 

A1A, and street closures begin at 1pm so 

plan accordingly. Visit www.mydelraybeach.com 

or call (561) 243-7250 for 

more information. 

July marks the start of the second half of the year, so if you’re 

slacking on your “self-love” New Year’s resolution, this is a great 

reminder to get back in gear and show your No. 1 who’s No. 1. 

July is Self-Care Month and as good a time as any to show yourself 

some TLC. If you need a fresh area of respite in the hustle and bustle 

of life, check out newly opened Moon & Flower. The coffee, tea, 

and apothecary shop offers a variety of organic healthy teas, herbs, 

crystals, artisan goods, and fine art with a goal to nourish the mind, 

body and soul. You’re invited to enjoy a drink and relax; shop the 

store for the perfect handcrafted gift, crystal, or artwork; or join in 

on a workshop, class or private reading. The Moon & Flower team 

aims to help to grow a community based around health, love, creativity, 

and compassion, and provide various local artisans, small 

family-owned businesses, and native people with the opportunity 

to prosper. Regardless of your goal, or what your life is currently 

thirsty for, you’re sure to enjoy your visit, learn something about 

yourself, and smell the roses in a new and calming manner. Moon & 

Flower is located at 1201 N. Federal Highway. 

Visit www.themoonandflower.com 

or call (561) 908-2064 for more information 

and event details.

It’s a beautiful day, you’re hungry, and 

you’re not sure where to go. Sure, you 

could snag an outdoor table at one of 

the Avenue’s many restaurants, but why 

don’t you take it a step further and actually 

head outside. July is National Picnic 

Month and a fantastic reminder that we 

are only steps away from tons of great 

parks and sanctuaries, located right in 

our backyard. If you prefer a little help 

filling your picnic basket, head first to 

Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market and enjoy 

this one-stop-shop for everything you 

need to make your picnic a success.

Not only do they have chilled beer and wine, as well as a great 

selection of red wine, but they also have prepared foods (salads, 

sandwiches, wraps, sides, etc.), snacks, fresh fruit, and 

decadent grab-and-go desserts. Once you have your loot, set 

your sights on Veterans Park (Intracoastal and Atlantic Avenue), 

where you can dine under large shade trees and watch 

the boats pass by, or Lake Ida East Park (950 N.W. Ninth St.), 

where there’s covered picnic tables and plenty of boating and 

fishing action to watch on the lake. Picnicking will be so easy 

and enjoyable you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it more often 

in the first place! Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market is located at 

381 N.E. Third Avenue. Visit www.bedners.com or call (561) 

501-5177 for more information. 

It’s hot, people. There’s no getting around it. Even with 

the best shade or healthiest of breezes, we all could use 

a little help in the cooling-off department. July marks the 

Dog Days of Summer and it’s no secret when these dogs start 

barking - and panting. Thankfully, we have a secret weapon 

in town, which is Delray Yacht Cruises, because there’s practically 

nothing that an Intracoastal cruise and a piña colada 

can’t fix. The team invites you to experience the calm waters 

of the Intracoastal Waterway aboard the Lady Atlantic and 

Lady Delray while enjoying your favorite beverage or snack 

on a two-hour narrated tour past some of the area’s most 

beautiful mansions. You’ll be able to see a variety of marine 

life in its natural habitat and learn a little about the area’s 

history as you cruise from Delray Beach south to Boca Raton. 

The cruises are held Wednesday through Sunday at 1:30pm 

and select Fridays and Saturdays at 5:30pm and leave from 

Veterans Park (Intracoastal and Atlantic Avenue). Tickets are 

$30 for adults and $27 for seniors/children, and there’s also a 

full bar and casual dining menu available on board. So all you 

need to do is show up, kick back, relax and enjoy the breeze! 

Visit www.delraybeachcruises.com or call (561) 243-0686 for 

more information and to purchase tickets. 

There’s just something about a simple, yet well-made, 

sandwich that sets everything right in the world. Bagel 

sandwich for breakfast, sub for lunch, or a hot and 

pressed sandwich for dinner. Yes, yes, and more yes. July is 

National Deli Sandwich Month but instead of heading to a big 

box sandwich shop, show your local sandwich artists - and 

your stomach - some local love. You’d be remiss if you didn’t 

start your journey at Sandwiches by the Sea. No muss, no fuss, 

just seriously fresh, good, fast, friendly, and dangerously delicious 

subs and sandwiches. Grab a hoagie and head to the 

beach or eat it immediately in their intimate backyard patio. 

(Note: don’t plan on sharing or having any leftovers). For 

something a little beefier, Sazio Express is proud to serve you 

their made-to-order heroes, including meatball parm, chicken 

cutlet, roast beef and gorgonzola, and sausage and peppers. 

Or, for a laundry list of classic sandwiches, head to the oneand-only 

Green Owl, where they’re serving up more options 

than you know what to do with. Think liverwurst, patty melt, 

BLT, egg salad, tuna salad, and way, way more, all served with 

plenty of friendly people-watching action. No matter how 

you slice it, there’s a sandwich calling your name. Visit www. 

downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077 for more 

restaurant information.

July 8th 

► Minions: The Rise of Gru (Theaters) 

In the heart of the 1970s, amid a flurry of feathered hair and 

flared jeans, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell) is growing up in 

the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the 

Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. 

Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making backup from his loyal 

followers, the Minions. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto - a 

new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please - deploy 

their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with 

their first weapons, and pull off their first missions. Directed by 

animation filmmaker Kyle Balda (The Lorax, Minions, Despicable 

Me 3), and co-directed by Brad Ableson. 

► Thor: Love and Thunder (Theaters) 

The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything 

he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is 

interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher 

(Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat 

the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), 

Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), 

who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, 

Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing 

cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s 

vengeance and stop him before it’s too late. Love and Thunder is once 

again directed by Kiwi actor / writer / filmmaker Taika Waititi.

► Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song 

Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song is a definitive 

exploration of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through 

the prism of his internationally renowned hymn, Hallelujah. 

This feature-length documentary weaves together three creative 

strands: the songwriter and his times, the song’s dramatic 

journey from record label reject to chart-topping hit, and moving 

testimonies from major recording artists for whom Hallelujah has 

become a personal touchstone. 

► The Sea Beast (Netflix) 

In an era when terrifying beasts roamed the seas, monster hunters 

were the most celebrated heroes - and none were more beloved 

than the great Jacob Holland. But when young Maisie Brumble 

stows away on his fabled ship, he’s saddled with an unexpected 

ally. Together they will embark on an epic journey into uncharted 

waters and make history. From Academy Award winning filmmaker 

Chris Williams, The Sea Beast takes us to where the map ends, and 

the true adventure begins.

highly skilled, Agency-sanctioned merchant of death. But now the 

tables have turned and Six is the target, hunted across the globe 

by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who 

will stop at nothing to take him out. Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de 

Armas) has his back. He’ll need it. The Gray Man is co-directed by 

filmmakers Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. 

► Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (Theaters) 

“It’s never too late to dream again.” The film shares the enchanting tale

from the upcoming book of the same name by Paul Gallico.

and startling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is 

immediately cast by the community as the main suspect. Directed 

by American filmmaker Olivia Newman. 

► DC League of Super-Pets 

It sure isn’t easy being Superman’s dog! Krypto hails from Krypton 

and has super-powers like his owner; but his social skills are 

decidedly alien at the dog park and he has no idea how to be ordinary. 

But when Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and the 

rest of the Justice League are kidnapped while Krypto is exposed 

to green kryptonite as a motley crew of shelter pets is exposed to 

orange kryptonite, Krypto is stripped of his abilities while the other 

animals become all-powerful. DC League of Super-Pets, also known 

as DC Super Pets, is directed by writer / producer Jared Stern.

that takes women from the promise of “I 

Will Follow Him” to the defiance of “These

It?” to the pride of “I Am Woman.”

Bookends: A Memoir of Love, 

Loss, and Literature 

by Zibby oWENS 

Released July 1st 

deeply personal memoir about one woman’s journey to finding 

A her voice and rewriting her story by the creator and host of 

the award-winning podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books. 

Zibby Owens has become a well-known personality in the 

publishing world. Her infectious energy, tasteful authenticity, 

and smart, steadfast support of authors started in childhood, a 

precedent set by the profound effect books and libraries had on 

her own family. 

But after losing her closest friend on 9/11 and later becoming 

utterly stressed out and overwhelmed by motherhood, Zibby 

was forgetting what made her her. She turned to books and writing 

for help. 

Just when things seemed particularly bleak, Zibby unexpectedly 

fell in love with a tennis pro turned movie producer who 

showed her the path to happiness: away from type-A perfectionism 

and toward letting things unfold organically. What unfolded 

was a meaningful career, a great love, and finally, her voice, now 

heard by millions of listeners. 

An honest and moving story about relationships, love, food issues, 

the writing life, and finding one’s true calling, Bookends will 

inspire and uplift. 

Acts of Violet 

by Margarita Montimore 

Released July 5th 

From the author of GMA Book Club pick and national bestseller 

Oona Out of Order, Acts of Violet is a dazzling and twisty new 

novel about a famous magician who disappears, leaving her sister 

to figure out what really happened. 

Nearly a decade ago, iconic magician Violet Volk performed her 

greatest trick yet: vanishing mid-act. Though she hasn’t been seen 

since, her hold on the public hasn’t wavered. While Violet sought 

out the spotlight, her sister Sasha, ever the responsible one, took 

over their mother’s salon and built a quiet life for her daughter, 

Quinn. But Sasha can never seem to escape her sister’s orbit or 

her memories of their unresolved, tumultuous relationship. Then 

there’s Cameron Frank, tapped to host a podcast devoted to all 

things Violet, who is determined to finally get his big break―even 

if he promised to land an exclusive interview with Sasha, the one 

person who definitely doesn’t want to talk to him. 

As the ten-year anniversary approaches, the podcast picks up 

steam, and Cameron’s pursuit of Sasha becomes increasingly intrusive. 

He isn’t the only one wondering what secrets she might be 

keeping: Quinn, loyal to the aunt she always idolized, is doing her 


own investigating. Meanwhile, Sasha begins to experience an unsettling 

series of sleepwalking episodes and coincidences, which 

all seem to lead back to Violet. Pushed to her emotional limits, Sasha 

must finally confront the most painful truths about her sister, 

and herself, even at the risk of losing everything. 

The Bodyguard 

by KATherine Center 


New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center’s The 

Bodyguard is unabashedly romantic, laugh-out-loud funny, and 

the perfect summer read. 

Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than 

somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint 

pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive 

Protection Agent (aka “bodyguard”), and she just got hired to protect 

superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgibreeding 

stalker. 

Jack Stapleton’s a household name―captured by paparazzi on 

beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out 

of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like 

a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, 

he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. 

When Jack’s mom gets sick, he comes home to the family’s Texas 

ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to 

know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah― 

against her will and her better judgment―finds herself pretending 

to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, like a jerk, says 

no one will believe it. 

Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she 

spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies 

the heartbreak. Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But

The Last to Vanish 

by Megan MIRANDA 


Megan Miranda brings her best writing to The Last to 

Vanish, a riveting thriller filled with taut suspense and 

shocking twists that will keep you guessing until the very end. 

A gripping and propulsive thriller that opens with the disappearance 

of a journalist who is investigating a string of 

vanishings in the resort town of Cutter’s Pass—will its dark 

secrets finally be revealed? 

Ten years ago, Abigail Lovett fell into a job she loves, managing 

The Passage Inn, a cozy, upscale resort nestled in the 

North Carolina mountain town of Cutter’s Pass. Cutter’s Pass 

is best known for its outdoor offerings—rafting and hiking, 

with access to the Appalachian trail by way of a gorgeous waterfall—and 

its mysterious history. As the book begins, the 

COPYRIGHTED 

string of unsolved disappearances that has haunted the town 

is once again thrust into the spotlight when journalist Landon 

West, who was staying at the inn to investigate the story 

of the vanishing trail, then disappears himself. 

Abby has sometimes felt like an outsider within the community, 

but she’s come to view Cutter’s Pass as her home. 

When Landon’s brother Trey shows up looking for answers, 

Abby can’t help but feel the town closing ranks. And she’s still 

on the outside. When she finds incriminating evidence that 

may bring them closer to the truth, Abby soon discovers how 

little she knows about her coworkers, neighbors, and even 

those closest to her.

Youth Sports and Concussions: 

The Argument for 

Pre-Season Brain Screening 

A concussion is known as mild traumatic brain 

injury. It is most commonly defined as a head 

injury that momentarily affects brain functions. 

Concussions occur when an impact to the head or body causes 

your head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This movement 

causes the brain to bounce around inside the skull creating 

chemical changes in your brain. If the impact is severe enough, 

neurons within the brain can be stretched and damaged producing 

a traumatic brain injury. The youth sports producing the most concussions 

are tackle football, boy’s ice hockey, girl’s soccer, and boy’s 

lacrosse. Here are some remarkably interesting numbers concerning 

concussions and youth sports: 33% of all concussions happen 

at practice, 47% of all sports related concussions occur during high 

school football, 1 in 5 high school athletes will sustain a concussion 

during the season, 33% of high school athletes that sustain a concussion 

report 2 or more in the same year, 39% of athletes that have numerous 

concussions are shown to increase catastrophic head injury 

leading to more permanent impairment. To add to these daunting 

numbers is the fact that most athletes with concussions rarely lose 

consciousness therefore they may not be reported. 

Many youth and recreational organizations and high schools are 

implementing programs to assess for the baseline brain activity of 

their athletes prior to the start of the season. In essence, a snapshot 

of the athlete’s brain function is taken prior to the athletic competition 

to be able to compare neurological function after a concussion 

and determine the amount of injury sustained. These tests 

also provide a baseline marker for objective “return to play” benchmarks. 

This takes away the subjective reporting of a child which 

in many cases cannot even accurately describe what they are feeling. 

Because concussions are much more difficult to quantify than 

a ligament tear or fracture, traditional imaging such as MRI and CT 

are not fruitful. However, there are now several evidence-based 

technologies available to assess and treat these concussions. 

Headache, dizziness, disorientation, confusion, sleep disturbance, 

nausea, and irritability are all symptoms associated with 

concussions, however the challenge is in the quantification process. 

The management of the concussion must be organized into 

a pre-season assessment, incident report and comparable, treatment, 

follow-up assessment, and return to play. The piece we are 

going to look at here is the pre-season assessment. This is going to 

be composed of the neurological aspects that are most commonly 

seen injured in athletes with concussions. These are postural stability, 

working memory, reaction/processing times, set switching, 


learning, and dynamic and static visual acuity. Norms have been 

established for age groups and gender which makes comparing 

relatively easy. Once the data is collected and areas of deficiency 

identified, treatment is implemented and can be very precise. The 

athlete is then re-examined after the course of treatment and then 

allowed to “return to play” if the benchmarks have been reached. 

The equipment that is gaining the most notoriety for the assessment 

and treatment is the Hit Check Cognitive Assessment Aid, Dynavision 

D2, Force Plate Posturography, and Medical Virtual Reality 

Assessment and Rehabilitation tool. The next time your child plays 

a sport, prior to the season get a baseline assessment to ensure his 

or her brain health.

Mind Makeover 

If you are serious about transforming your 

body and getting in the best possible shape, 

there’s a couple of things you will need to 

do before you start your transformation. 

You might think I’m going to say…plan your workouts, clean 

out your pantry etc…but, not so fast! Before you can start 

to transform your body you have to transform your mind. 

Transforming your body is pretty much ALL mental. If your mind 

is not in the right place, your body will not follow suit. I’ve seen 

it time and time again in the fitness industry. Your mindset is 

the ONLY thing that separates you from having the body of your 

dreams. It’s the difference of reaching goals or missing them. With 

that being said, here are some things to consider before beginning 

your “physical” transformation. 

Start by identifying your current mindset. You 

may feel frustrated or discouraged about your 

current situation. You may feel you have tried 

everything to change your body with no 

success. You may feel defeated that you 

gain and lose the same 10 pounds over 

and over. Whatever your situation may 

be, you need to realize what feelings 

you’re having and why you’re having 

them. Once you identify your current 

mindset, you’ll be able to move forward 

with the right type of thinking. 

Which brings me to my next 

point, the power of positivity. 

A positive mindset is a MUST. 

We attract what we think about. 

We become what we think 

about. Positive thoughts yield 

positive results. If you start your 

transformation with doubts about your abilities or 

doubts about hitting your goals you are already setting 

up for failure. Know there will be obstacles 

along the way, but you need to have the right 

mindset so obstacles will not hinder your final 

result. Whatever life throws you (life is full of 

curveballs) you’ll be ready to handle any situation 

or bump in the road. Too many people 

give up on their goals because of circumstances 

totally within their control. So be ready, willing 

and able to say and do, “Whatever comes my way, 

I’ve got this and I WILL do this!” 

The next key to a successful transformation is 

50 | July 2022 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

that you have to want it bad enough. If not, then EVERY excuse in 

the book will stand in your way. “Oh, I didn’t have time to get to the 

gym. It was just a couple extra slices of pizza.” Every person that 

wants it bad enough, gets results. The clients that think they want 

to transform but don’t have a yearning in their heart for change, 

don’t. It’s really as simple as that. New clients will ask, “Do you 

think I have what it takes to transform?” And the answer is always, 

“Yes, anyone can transform as long as you want it bad enough!” 

When you want something bad enough, your heart and head are 

into it and with that your body will follow. 

The last piece of advice is to leave fear of failure at the 

door. There is nothing to be afraid of - the only way to 

fail is by not even trying. Fear is often what holds us 

back from going after the things we really want in 

life. What should really scare you is the thought 

of staying stagnant in your current situation. 

Imagine living in a body you’re uncomfortable 

with for the rest of your life…now 

that’s scary! The only way you can fail 

is by giving up. Understand that 

transforming your body is a marathon 

not a sprint. Every “body” 

is different and each person’s 

transformation will take a different 

amount of time. For some 

it will be three months, for some it will be one year. 

Whatever it is for YOU, don’t ever give up. Failure 

will never be an option. 

Before embarking on your physical transformation, 

make sure your mind is warmed up and 

ready to run with you. Our mind is the most 

powerful tool we have and it can either make 

us or break us. Use it wisely and your transformation 

will be a little easier than you think!

Giovanni 

Rodriguez 

Chances are you’ve 

recently seen Giovanni 

Rodriguez acting 

alongside some of 

Hollywood’s elite. 

Elevating his catalog 

of credits from extra 

work and a behind-thescenes 

camera man, 

he is now making a 

name for himself on 

the small and silver 

screen alike. 

I 

always knew there was 

a notable destiny waiting 

for me. When you’re 

young, there’s no way of realizing 

what’s in store for you... 

but I could feel there was something 

special ahead.” 

At the tender age of four, 

Giovanni relocated to the States 

from Bogotá, Colombia with his 

grandmother and three older 

sisters. Settling into South 

Florida with his mother, who 

had moved a few years prior in 

search of a better life, the early 

days were far from easy. 

“I lived in the projects and 

was fairly poor, depending on 

government assistance. Those 

experiences are always present 

in the back of my mind instilling 

motivation, because to succeed 

and get out of that situation, 

you have to work harder down 

a much longer road.” 

Entering high school, Gio 

didn’t have one specific career 

goal in mind, until he took a TV 

Production course his sophomore 

year. 

“The class started out teaching 

us the secrets of reporting 

which sparked my interest. We 

then broke down stunts from 

the Beverly Hills Cop movies, and 

learned how it took at least two 

weeks to complete one car chase. 

I became fascinated by how the 

entire operation worked. My 

high school also offered a camera 

education course which I enrolled 

in, and from that point on 

there was no turning back.” 

COPYRIGHTED

Retaining an adoration for baseball since his youth, Rodriguez 

had decided to transition his new found interest in television production 

to focus solely on sports broadcasting, however an acting 

class in college reshaped his plan. 

“My attention was no longer engrossed in broadcasting after I 

discovered what it was like to be in front of the camera. My destiny 

questions from childhood were being answered, and I could finally 

see where I was supposed to go.” 

Before his on-screen career gained momentum, 

Rodriguez secured a job as a camera utility 

for the Miami Heat, and has had a relationship 

with the franchise ever since. 

“With my work title, it means I am directly involved 

with the Miami Heat as part of their regular 

staff. When we won the final games in 2012 

and 2013 I was part of the crew, and received 

NBA Championship rings as well.” 

When Giovanni resolved to fully go after a 

career in acting, he quickly landed a baseball 

commercial, bringing his love of America’s pastime 

full circle. This led to acquiring an agent, 

and soon after, his first television appearance on 

NBC’s Seaquest DSV. Gio began working consistently, 

landing bit parts and extra work in The 

Hunger Games, Miracles From Heaven, USA Network’s 

Burn Notice, and The Florida Project. It 

was in fact while employed behind the scenes on 

Burn Notice that Rodriguez made his stunt man 

debut, accepting an offer to learn combat training 

on set, supervised by an expert coordinator. 

Recently, Giovanni’s achievements have boosted his status to the 

next level. Depending on your preferences, last year you either saw 

Rodriguez in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Suicide Squad, 

Mayans M.C., or all three. Not many actors obtain the opportunity to 

have appeared in rival DC Extended Universe and Marvel Cinematic 

Universe movies simultaneously, but his talent allowed him to do so 

with ease. Portraying a tough guy across the board, Giovanni benefits 

from his appearance, embracing all qualities and dispositions. 

“I don’t mind being typecast. Mayans M.C. was one show that I 

really admired and pursued, stemming from a long-standing love of 

Sons of Anarchy. I was super determined to be on that show... I don’t 

know if that particular casting was going to happen, but apparently 

my headshot was seen and on the radar of the casting director for 

My destiny 

questions from 

childhood 

were being 

answered, and 

I could finally 

see where I was 

supposed to go. 

the spinoff series, Mayans. When the opportunity came around for 

the role of Jinx, I knew this was my shot and went after it.” 

When he’s not trying to kill Harley Quinn or fight off the bad 

guys, Gio continues to utilize his camera skills around the globe, 

barely ever pausing. 

“I probably travel eighty percent of the year. Life does get a little 

cumbersome at times, but I have such passion for the work and get 

to be involved with once in a lifetime events. Projects have led me 

internationally to places such as Dubai, Germany, 

Paris, and not too long ago a job for the WWE 

took me to Saudi Arabia. My downtime is most 

often on the road, and I usually try to explore the 

city I’m in.” 

In October of 2021, Giovanni added celebrity 

guest to his resumé, premiering his own booth 

at Spooky Empire, a bi-annual horror convention 

held in Orlando. Although he was featured for his 

portrayal in The Suicide Squad, fans of every role 

showed up for meet-and-greet photo opportunities 

and autographs. 

The consummate professional, Giovanni thoroughly 

immerses himself into each character. 

“I like to be as prepared as possible arriving to 

set, so I can offer my best performance. Upon receiving 

a script from my agent, I begin reading it 

over trying to find the emotion behind the words, 

in order to make them my own and act true to the 

part. Right before my scene, I will try to meditate 

and relax while still watching and observing how 

the other actors adjust and react to the process.” 

COPYRIGHTED 

Giovanni is currently filming the NBA finals in Boston, and echoes 

his grandmother’s mantra when relaying a few words of wisdom 

for someone starting out in this business. 

“She told me to remain patient and have faith that your time 

will come. You have to truly love what you do, or somewhere 

along the line you’re just going to give up. The passion felt in the 

beginning has to persist enough to persevere through the obstacles 

that will come, because the rejection can sometimes get 

overwhelming in this industry. But if you really have a true energy 

for this line of work, you will find your way, your niche... and 

in the end - find yourself.”

LEGACY BARBER SHOP & STUDIO 

The owners of Legacy Barber Shop & Studio are easy going, 

friendly, and aim to please. There is no trace of self-importance 

or arrogance - instead the vibe at Legacy is one of harmony 

and friendship, kinship and kindness. 

And that’s the way they planned it. 

“I treat all my clients as friends. We talk about everything – there 

is a lot more here than just a transaction,” adds Mark. 

You bet there is. The twinkle in Mark’s eyes don’t just shine for 

his family (though they get top billing in his personal hierarchy) 

they extend outward. 

So much so that Legacy Barbershop has a legion of clients that 

will only go to them and relish the experience. 

Former Wall Street finance executive Scott Altshuler is an example. 

He’s been coming to Esais every Friday for the past seven years 

and doesn’t foresee any change in the future. 

“I won’t go anywhere else for a haircut. They are very accommodating 

and take their time with you. The cuts are precise, detailed 

and they take pride in their work. People have stopped me 

in elevators and asked, ‘Where do you get your hair cut?’ Esais 

uses a straight razor for my beard and sideburns and the lines 

are very clean.” 

Being successful is one thing, but enjoying your craft is another. 

Both Esais and Mark have been barbering since their youth and are 

dyed in the wool converts to this artistic reverie. 

“Being a barber is like being an artist. Every client is a canvas. A 

barbershop is a subculture; the level of intensity changes with every 

subject we discuss. And nothing is off limits. The subjects vary: 

the movies, sports, and our personal lives,” said Mark, who helped 

out at his step-father’s barbershop at the age of 13. 

Esais is equally as steeped in the artistry and camaraderie of being 

a barber. The father of six is known for creating artistic hair 

designs for clients who want individualized scenic headspace. 

Like Mark, Esais was born to cut hair. His mother owned a salon 

in Pompano and he helped out there as a teen. She taught him 

about cutting hair and inspired him to follow the path of barbering. 

“I went to art school, but had a family and chose a career as a 

barber instead.” 


Good Vibes and 

Great Haircuts 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

Whoever said that “nice guys 

finish last” has never met 

Mark Tassy and Esais Rosado. 

That decision was a prudent one. Esais’s artistic outlet can be 

seen on clients, and in his ability to create miracles in real time. “I 

am passionate about what I do. This is not just about cutting hair, 

but about relationships, we are modern day therapists.” 

Altshuler, who has a busy life, sees Legacy as a place to relax and 

unwind each week. “Esais and I talk; he knows everything about my 

life. It’s great to see their success. Legacy opened in a small space 

with two barbers and now has five barbers and a larger shop.” 

COPYRIGHTED

Altshuler has a point. The expansion of Legacy is part and parcel 

of their fine customer service, barbering expertise and a can-do attitude 

with a smile. 

Jay Gallo understands their creed of companionship and connection, 

and enjoys the vibe. He comes every two weeks to Mark for a 

combover, hard part and skin fade. “I don’t chose hair styles anymore. 

A while ago Mark told me it was time to change my look; he 

did such a great job - I let him decide.” 

Jeff feels the same way. “I love Mark. He’s caring, friendly, consistent, 

and gives me great haircuts. He does a fade into my beard and 

it looks more polished.” 

If you ask Mark about the skin fade and hard part he will tell you 

it’s about detail and precision. The creative license to design someone’s 

top asset is looked upon as an artform by everyone at Legacy. 

The sole female among all the testosterone at Legacy is Abigal. 

The licensed cosmetologist has a steady hand in transforming her 

clients. One young man came in with an unruly beard and walked 

out with a low fade, hard part, and goatee. His appearance was 

transformative, which is Abigal’s signature of excellence. 

There’s also Brandon Clark, who’s not only a barber at Legacy, 

but also an accomplished artist. His art hangs on the wall with other 

pop artists such as Bansky, and Mr. Brainwash. 

This hipster-inspired barbershop has artistic brush stroke epoxy 

floors and a fountain of good vibes and talent. They welcome everyone; 

children, women, and men of all ages. They offer gentleman’s cuts, 

skin fades, mohawks, mullets, hot shaves, or any style cut you want. 

Both Mark and Esais are family oriented and respect their clients 

with equal affection. Welcome to Legacy Barbershop – a place 

where there are no strangers, only friends!

Dr. Joe Martin 

Concierge VIP Personal 

Training and Physical Therapy 

By diane feen | photos courtesy of dr, joe martin 

Dr. Joe Martin didn’t need a business 

executive to tell him the secret to 

success. He already knew it. 

love and compassion are at the deepest level of 

your business model, then business success always 

“When 

follows.” 

Dr. Joe was right. He didn’t need a PhD in business to figure this 

out. It was second nature to him. 

That’s because life didn’t hand him a bed of roses, it was more a 

mixed bag of challenges, difficulties, and breakthroughs. 

But it was enduring the challenges of life that gave him 

the strength to succeed and accomplish what most 

people only dream about. 

His journey has been long and wavy, but the 

road led to the same end point – that of fulfilment 

with an underpinning of love. 

He joined the army and became a combat 

veteran in the 1st Cavalry Division. 

He drove an M1A1 battle tank and served 

tours of duty in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. He 

also excelled in physical fitness and earned a 

top tier physical fitness award. 

From there he got a Doctorate in 

Physical Therapy and realized that 

his talent was helping others overcome 

obstacles. 

Dr. Joe was awarded the 

title of “Physical Therapist 

of the Year” in the state of 

Michigan. He then moved 

to New York and opened a 

physical therapy practice. 

One practice led to five, 

and within a few years he 

had five practices and 35 

employees in central New 

York. 

Dr. Joe’s next move was to 

Florida. After spending time 

with his family, he realized he was in the epicentre of an aging population 

that needed help. He also realized that many people were 

not getting the help they needed. 

“Some physical therapists don’t evaluate the patient; they just 

hand them a piece of paper with exercises to do. Or they see two 

or three patients at a time. You can’t give good value if you’re 

treating two or three people at once. People deserve one-on-one 

personal care.” 

That is exactly what Dr. Joe does now in Florida. He calls himself 

a white glove concierge personal trainer and physical therapist 

and travels to meet you exactly where you are at – physically 

and mentally. 

His van says it all. He is in the business of helping people 

with back aches, hip misalignment, strength training, 

mobility issues, and overall fitness training. 

Dr. Joe no longer has an office, he travels to meet clients 

at their homes, offices or wherever the pavement 

meets opportunity. But one thing is for certain – Dr. Joe 

will assess your situation and come up with a 

plan to help your aches, pains, mobility, 

and level of fitness. It’s not one size 

fits all – like most trainers – he is 

in it to win it. 

Others agree. 

“Dr. Joe is a cross between 

Tony Robbins and Rocky 

Balboa. I needed someone 

to help me focus mentally 

and achieve weight 

loss. With my hectic 

life it was hard to 

focus, and post CO- 

VID living has been 

mentally challenging. 

Dr. Joe helped 

me improve my men-

tal state and added a personal training program. It’s been very effective. 

He is one of the best there is,” said Franco, a TV producer. 

There are others who feel the same way. Todd VanDyke went to 

him with a low back injury twice (one was a car accident) and was 

able to avoid surgery. The rest is history – Dr. Joe history. 

“Dr. Joe’s care and expertise are the reason I was able to avoid 

surgery. He took time and really listened to issues I was having. He 

applied his knowledge to form a treatment plan that was exactly 

what I needed. I am so thankful to him.” 

One of Dr. Joe’s secret sauces is his desire to help others. His understanding 

is clinical, yet his ultimate motive is more cerebral and 

motivational. “I encourage people to embrace life. I am a big believer 

in making things happen, there is no such thing as ‘I can’t.’ I 

am all about positivity.” 

He sure is. Spending time with Dr. Joe is an altered state. He has the 

ability to rearrange your molecules and find a heart-based solution 

within a therapeutic landscape steeped in physical rehabilitation. 

“I can turn the stiffest person into a young mobile one again. 

I care about people, and I care about their outcome. It’s not just 

about money - I give people value and I’m honest.” 

Dr. Joe is a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist with 25 

years as a clinician, a physical therapist, and 29 years as a fitness 

trainer. He understands varied medical conditions and their ramifications 

on the body and mind. 

While most personal trainers (or physical therapists) are thinking 

about past success, Dr. Joe is creating a future from the deepest 

part of his being. 

“People need to be cared for - my secret sauce is love. I love 

people and care for them. I see people going down the wrong path 

and aging rapidly. Their joints are locking up, they’re losing flexibility 

and feeling old. I work with people to improve their physical 

strength and mind-set.” 

The results are in every sphere of his client’s being. “Joe Martin is 

truly an amazing physical therapist. He is thorough, caring and always 

goes above and beyond. He communicates with family members 

(and healthcare providers) to make sure everyone’s on the 

same page and no stone left unturned. It is very rare to find someone 

who takes such pride in their work, connects well with patients, and 

the entire family. We are truly blessed to have him here to transform 

our healthcare for the better,” said Dr. Alexander Krishtul. 

That is Dr. Joe’s master plan. He sees the light where there might be 

darkness – he sees possibilities where hope may be lost. And he always 

rises to the occasion to support others to thrive, not just survive. 

His concierge service ranges from one-on-one and small group 

personal training, muscle-gun stretch sessions, physical therapy, as 

well as home or office fitness room design.

Quantum Care 

Be Happy…Be Healthy 

BY diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

Dr. Stacy Musselman helps you reach the stars with her Quantum 

Care program. This holistic healthcare program provides you with easy 

to follow steps and guidance to live your most joyful and healthy life. 

She does this using Functional Medicine principles in conjunction 

with a holistic approach to healthcare that puts the patient 

first. 

She addresses symptoms and restores your health and wellness 

using in-depth bloodwork analysis. This helps to identify underlying 

causes of disease and restores balance and ease forms of un-wellness. 

“The Functional Medicine approach works to find the root cause 

of your symptoms or conditions and works to prevent others,” said 

Dr. Musselman. 

This is done by looking for the patterns and trends in comprehensive 

bloodwork. By uncovering the underlying conditions - not 

just the symptoms - you can achieve long-lasting results. 


Patients wholeheartedly agree. 

“Before the Quantum Care program with Dr. Musselman, I wasn’t 

getting a full night’s rest and my energy levels were low. Now I feel 

balanced and full of energy. It was incredible to see all the information 

Dr. Musselman’s bloodwork reveals!” 

With Quantum Care the patient is involved in the process, and 

not a helpless onlooker. “A varied approach is used to gather information 

about your current health, diet and lifestyle. This uncovers 

ALL of the factors that might be contributing to your symptoms and 

health conditions.” 

Quantum Care Protocols are highly individualized and designed 

to promote your long-term health and wellness. 

This personalized program is what separates Dr. Musselman 

from others in her field. She cares about the patient, and is invested 

in your positive outcomes and long lasting harmony. 

Her clients are aware of her commitment and are grateful for her 

intuitive and well-honed functional medicine tools. 

“The Quantum Care program helped me tremendously in healing 

my body and spirit. Learning the program and getting my body 

back in balance gives me inner peace and makes me feel safe. I recommend 

Quantum Care and Dr. Musselman to anyone who wants 

to better themselves physically and spiritually. The results will 

amaze you. Thank you Dr. Musselman, you are awesome!!!” 

Are you interested in losing weight? Having trouble falling asleep 

or staying asleep? Is your sex drive waning? Dr. Musselman can 

help you achieve your goals and feel your best, all while enjoying 

the process. “I lost 35 pounds with Dr. Musselman’s program and 

never felt better,” said one patient. 

This preventative approach and non-synthetic protocols are vital 

to creating a long healthy and pain-free life. Why wait for a symptom 

to manifest just to take a prescription pill when all the important 

information is in your bloodwork? 

By looking at the patterns and the probability of dysfunction in 

bloodwork, Dr. Musselman can identify things other doctors cannot. 

That is key to gaining optimal health and a happier existence, 

especially in these challenging times. 

Prevention and a healthy lifestyle not only increase your health 

and wellbeing, but also your longevity. And, the most important 

thing – being pain free. 

Have you ever been to a doctor and said you didn’t feel well, and 

COPYRIGHTED

the doctor’s response was: “Everything looks fine, just take this pill.” 

Dr. Musselman understands there is a better approach. That approach 

is the Quantum Care way. 

Patients agree. “Dr. Musselman was able to address issues my 

other doctors couldn’t. I recommend her to all my clients and they 

all come back to me with success stories!” 

The great news is that Dr. Musselman and The Quantum Care 

Program is now available in Boca Raton! Treatment is administered 

under the care of a medical doctor. 

They include IV therapy, Vitamins, Hydration and Enzyme Replacement 

Therapy and Injectable medications such as Monoclonal 

Antibodies. In addition, the Boca Raton practice also offers Therapeutic 

Apheresis, anti-aging treatments, Alzheimer’s indicators, 

Lab Testing, COVID-19 testing and Immune Profile Panels. 

Dr. Musselman creates a custom personalized health improvement 

plan tailored specifically to you that can restore balance and 

harmony of your mind and body! 

“I want my patients to have answers and solutions to what is 

bothering them so they can live a healthy and joyful lifestyle.” 

Everyone is looking for a sense of well-being and a happy, healthy 

pain free lifestyle. “Schedule an appointment, and let’s address the 

issues that are getting in the way of you living your best life.” 

Quantum Care Takes your Health seriously. Don’t you think it’s 

time you did? 

“If you, or your family or friends, would like to donate blood 

there is up to a $75 cash incentive (it takes about 15 minutes). It’s a 

WONDERFUL way for the body to eliminate old stagnant blood and 

facilitate making healthy new blood. It also burns up to 650 calories! 

I donate blood as often as possible. Please keep me in mind if 

you, family or friends would like to donate.”

Chuck Halberg 

Stuart & Shelby 

Shakes it Up a Bit 

By Diane Feen | Photos by melissa korman 

If you haven’t heard of Chuck 

Halberg or Stuart & Shelby 

then you must be new in town. 

Halberg is the founder and President of Stuart & Shelby 

Development. This Delray Beach construction company 

provides turnkey development and general contracting 

services for custom homes, workforce housing, and larger renovation 

projects. 


“This year marks my 52nd year in the construction industry and 

16 years as founder of Stuart & Shelby Development.” 

These days Stuart & Shelby is busier than ever but Halberg continues 

his routine of working 8-12 hours per day, 6 days a week. 

As much as he talks about slowing down, it seems more like a 

pipe dream than a reality. Halberg always has his hand in something, 

whether building in Palm Beach County, or a 15-home 

workforce housing project further north in Fort Pierce. The company 

currently has over 30 sites in the construction process. 

They recently finished restoring six historical homes and have 

five new ones in the planning or permitting stage. “The process 

is handled by clients and architects, but there are guidelines to 

follow and you get a lot of surprises when rebuilding. There are 

a lot of challenges but we love keeping our Delray history.” 

Halberg is proud of their new headquarters at The Coastal 

Center in Delray Beach. The company has grown to 20 employees 

over the past 18 months and are getting acclimated to their 

new expansive 3,600-square-foot office. 

Halberg also had the good fortune to purchase back (and move 

into) the 1924 historic Franklin house in 2019. It is a home he 

helped save in 2010 and then donated to the Delray Beach Community 

Land Trust. 

“I always loved The Franklin house. We went from a 5,100 

square foot house to a 1,400-square-foot but recently added a 

large 2 car garage, family room, master bedroom suite and pool. 

It is a 1924 shotgun house that’s only 25-feet wide and is one of 

the cutest homes in Delray Beach.” 

Stuart & Shelby continues to be a family affair. Wife Pam has 

been a realtor for nine years and is currently selling two spec 

homes for the company in the up-and-coming Osceola-park 

neighborhood. Stuart & Shelby has four other private custom 

homes in Osceola Park. 

Son Shelby is the founder of Blank Frame Films a video production 

company based in Delray Beach. He often travels out of 

state for work. His wife Lauren is a favorite around the Halberg 

homestead. 

Son Stuart is CEO of Logitix, a ticketing platform company for 

the sports and entertainment industry. 

Halberg doesn’t have grandchildren, but he has pups Sammie 

(who goes to work with Halberg), Gus, and grand-pups Brady 

and Presley. 

COPYRIGHTED

There is another side to Halberg that everyone who knows him 

admires – his philanthropy and selflessness. 

“Chuck Halberg has impacted the quality of life in Delray Beach 

with his generosity and love for the city. His consistent loyal philanthropy 

is remarkable. Chuck is a local businessman constantly 

giving back with his support for the police, fire fighters, education, 

the arts, etc. For decades, Chuck has made the Delray Beach community 

a better place,” said Perry DonFrancisco, President Delray 

Citizens for Delray Police. 

Chuck helped raise money for the police department’s new ice 

cream truck that rides around neighborhoods in Delray bringing 

joy to children. He is a co-founder of Impact 100 for Men and the 

Delray Beach Initiative. 

He also raises funds to purchase Thanksgiving dinner for the 

Delray Beach Fire and Police departments. The extra funds go to 

their Holiday Toy Drive. The Boy’s Market caters the entire meal. 

People who donated drive in a caravan (over 30 vehicles last year) 

to deliver the food to the six-fire stations and police headquarters. 

“It was our 8th Thanksgiving providing these well-deserved meals, 

with over 100 people donating $100 each.” 

On June 22 the Impact 100 Men gave out two $25,000 grants – 

one to KOP Mentoring Network (run by Mr. C. Ron Allen) and one to 

EJS Project (run by Emanuel Dupree Jackson Jr.). Both these longtime 

nonprofits mentor local youth. 

Chuck is also on the board of the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce. 

Last year he raised $77,000 on his “Flat Stanley Rides a Harley 

for Kids and Cops” trip. He rode 6,000 miles on his 2020 Harley 

Tri Glide Ultra Classic bike and covered 14 states in 16 days to raise 

funds for 10 local non-profits. 

Chuck also supports many non-profits around Delray Beach and 

volunteers his time and services to those in need. That’s why Jeff 

Perlman, former mayor of Delray Beach, has nothing but accolades 

to bestow upon this man of many talents. 

“Chuck is one-of-a-kind. It’s hard to quantify how valuable he is 

to our community. His generosity is legendary and his energy for 

supporting good causes is inspirational. He has a big heart, always 

means well, and never says no to a good cause. I think he may be the 

best friend this town has.” 

His clients also sing his praises. 

“Burke and I are delighted with the work that you, Dave and 

Steve did on our condo. Burke and I loved working with Steve, he 

is a gem. He kept track of all the moving parts and demonstrated 

repeatedly that he cared about the job and the result. Steve kept 

track of the things that we asked for, and suggested improvements 

to things we weren’t smart enough to think about. We are grateful 

for everything you’ve done for us,” said Karen and Burke Murray.

MASSAGE HEIGHTS DELRAY 

Reaching New Heights in Health 

and Wellness with New Owner 

BY diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

The torch has been passed to Angela Wright. The former 

Retreat Director at Massage Heights Delray Place is the 

new owner of this unique and calming day spa. 

Wright is thrilled to roll out the red carpet for existing 

members and welcomes new members. “I am so honored 

to be the new owner of Massage Height Delray 

Place. I choose this career path because I love to help people feel 

better and meet their daily challenges. We strive to elevate the lives 

of everyone we touch,” said Wright, who started in the industry 

when she was a teen. 

Massage Heights is a place of calm for the mind, body and spirit.

for years (or centuries if you’re counting). Their varied array of services 

is guaranteed to help put a pep back into your step. 

They offer over 3000 appointments a month, seven days a

Serums is reduced in price from July 18 to August 14. 

Their goal is to help you relax and let the pressures of the day escape 

your body. The best avenue toward this stress-free state is to 

indulge in Massage Heights Delray facials and massages specifically 

geared toward healing different areas of your body.

therapists performing massages and facials. I suffer from back 

issues and sciatic pain and the therapists at Massage Heights have 

really helped me. We are a family here and thrive on providing the 

most relaxing experiences for our guests.” 

These services that add quality of life benefits are affordable. 

They have convenient appointment times and a cost-effective 

membership program. 

“I started in the industry when I was 16 years-old as a Front 

Desk Receptionist. I knew immediately this was my passion. I 

choose Massage Heights to be my home because I truly believe 

in the Massage Heights Vision,” said Wright, the new owner of

facials to combat stress, injuries, and some medical 

conditions. “With our low prices these services 

are affordable for everyone. We have couples massages 

and offer services to bridal parties.”

POSH PROPERTIES 

Realtors Take the Local 

Market to New Heights 

By Nicol Jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

Posh Properties has made a name for itself in the South Florida 

Real Estate market. The Real Estate brokerage continues to expand 

the business with top producing agents and a roster of luxury 

property listings along the coast and around town. With over 52 

Realtors, Posh Properties continues to grow while focusing on their 

customer’s needs, which Jerilyn believes is the core of their success. 

agents understand the business of real estate, they 

also know how to acclimate to a constantly changing 

“Posh 

market. Our agents have a strong work ethic, and desire 

to create and sustain their own successful real estate practice,” says 

Jerilyn Walter, Broker/Owner of Posh Properties. 

“If they don’t understand the real workload of real estate, their 


practice will not survive. Understanding how to advise your buyers 

when to start the search and close, and sellers when to list and the 

best pricing, is only a few of the reasons our agents enjoy strong 

referral and repeat business.” 

Some of the top producing agents at Posh Properties share their 

success stories and insight into the local real estate market. 

Jody Coltogirone, PA 

Broker Associate Jody Coltogirone 

brings a vast experience and knowledge 

that started 16 years ago in an industry 

that has changed significantly. 

Originally from Pennsylvania, Jody relocated 

to South Florida 35 years ago, and 

her business continues to thrive thanks to 

her ability to stay connected to previous 

customers, friends, and referrals. 

“As a licensed real estate broker associate 

and a mortgage loan originator as well 

as the managing broker for Posh Properties 

in Ocean Ridge, my knowledge goes well 

beyond just buying or selling a home. My strength has always been 

my work ethic. When you are buying or selling your home, it is 

essential that you work with a professional brokerage that can get 

you through the transaction seamlessly,” said Jody, adding, “Posh 

Properties offers three locations in Pineapple Grove, Ocean Ridge, 

and our recent opening of our office in Lantana, on Ocean Ave., we 

enjoy strong ties with the local communities, charities, chamber 

of commerce and business leaders. We understand our customers 

have busy lives and appreciate accountability and trust.”

“Our office locations are incredible, we are able to enjoy a great 

deal of people driving down the coast that stop in and inquire about 

purchasing a property near the beach, or our vibrant downtown areas. 

Everyone loves the area and wants to live the Florida lifestyle. 

Right now, many longtime homeowners are selling properties and 

taking advantage of the soaring market values. Many of these older 

homes are being replaced with newer more modern architecture, 

taking advantage of the water views and walkability to the beach. 

South Florida is one of the most desirable places to live, work, play, 

raise a family, and retire. Being a property owner or investor can offer 

tax breaks, cash flow, and tremendous gains in equity,” said Jody.

Paige Fiedorowicz, PA 

Real Estate Associate Paige Fiedorowicz, PA is a top producing 

agent at Posh Properties. 

“Originally, I wanted to get into real estate for the variety of ways 

real estate can positively affect your life financially, from becoming 

a realtor to flipping homes, and acquiring rental properties. 

But then, I fell in love with meeting new people and helping them 

acquire the same goals. I have the best clients; if they were a complete 

stranger in the beginning, we end the process as great friends, 

which I love,” said Paige, adding, “I am very persistent, transparent, 

and diverse. I like to make sure my clients know exactly what is going 

on at all times and make them feel 100% comfortable throughout 

the process. I have no problem going above and beyond any 

expectations to guarantee I deliver.” 

Paige is very active in the Delray Beach community, where she has 

been a resident for more than five years. 

“I am always adapting to new trends and keeping myself active 

within the community. I have been in Delray Beach for five years and 

have made incredible connections that will last a lifetime. Always 

making sure I am available around the clock 

and working diligently for my clients,” said 

Paige, “The City of Delray Beach is truly just 

scratching the surface. While there has been 

an increase in home values, I truly think there 

is still an immense amount of growth to happen. 

New construction is around every corner, 

and the City itself is continuing to invest more 

money into it to create the ultimate lifestyle.” 

Before becoming a Realtor, Paige was a 

basketball player and has used that discipline 

that comes with being an athlete throughout 

her successful career. 

“I graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI in 2011 

as a student-athlete. I received a 4-year Basketball Scholarship and 

now have graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Communications 

and Marketing. The discipline, commitment, and sacrifice you make 

as a student athlete is something that is instilled deep inside me. It 

has 100% shaped me into who I am and how I operate today. I have 

many Professional Athlete clients who I have been able to teach and 

guide how to invest into real estate to create wealth, which has been 

very rewarding experiencing my collegiate and professional career 

connect full circle,” she said. “I am a glass half full type of person. So, 

no matter the obstacle I know with hard work, persistent strategy, 

and effective communication I can overcome anything.” 

Paige currently has available a waterfront 

home in Boca Harbour. With 52 ft of water 

frontage, direct ocean access, and southern 

exposure, this home is stunning! Built in 2016, 

the home underwent a full custom renovation 

from 2021-2022. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths with a salt, 

heated pool and spa, it truly is one of a kind! 

“I love being a female in the industry. As a woman, I think it’s incredibly 

empowering being able to compete with the best, but also 

be a mother and a partner. Finding the balance is not always easy but 

us women truly can do it all!” said Paige.

HY PA – HY MA 

A Classy Celebration of 

Fashion and Tradition 


Hy Pa – Hy Ma is a breath of fresh air. The dark 

wood interior, the walls decorated with art, and 

the eclectic fashion stance that never wavers. 

Welcome to one of the last bastions of boutique fashion 

excellence. The shopping experience – and the clothing 

– are as unique as their heritage. 

It was 44 years ago that Nance Bernet opened Hy Pa – Hy Ma in 

the Waterway Shops in East Delray Beach. 

Though fashion is their main entrée now, this cozy clothing boutique 

originally sold fruit, candy, and nick-knacks like vases, art, 

and accessories. 

But as times changed, so did Hy Pa – Hy Ma. It evolved into a 

place of fashion wonderment. A place where you could find novelty 

tunic tops with contrast color piping or flutter tiered dresses with 

shoulder ties. Dressing in Florida means color is a cool compliment 

to style. Exuberant reds, orange, blue, and yellow sit neatly by traditional 

neutrals and black. 

But there is nothing neutral about the origin of this Delray legend. 

It may have a fashion pedigree that exceeds those around 

them, but Hy Pa – Hy Ma continues to stay on trend with fashion, 

whether it’s comfy pull-on palazzo pants or rhinestone trimmed 

tunics that cover a multitude of imperfections. 


But, when it comes to fashion at Hy Pa – Hy Ma there are no imperfections, 

only perfectly curated clothing and accessories. That’s 

because owner Nance studied at Parsons School of Design and was 

a fashion illustrator who loved painting and fashion. Her daughter 

Mia is equally as talented when it comes to choosing the crème de 

la crème of fashion. 

“This season women have been coming in and saying, ‘I’m so 

happy you’re still here.’ There have been so many established businesses 

closing in Delray, they’re thrilled we’re still here,” said Mia. 

And that’s a good thing. Where would our fashion sensibilities go 

without stores like Hy Pa – Hy Ma? Where would we go for a fashion 

restoration of our creative souls? 

The answer is nowhere. That is why we honor and covet the 

greatness of material matter that sits in this shop in the heart 

of Delray. “It feels so good to shop in a store that makes you feel 

beautiful and cared for. I love Hy Pa – Hy Ma because I find novelty 

dresses and pant outfits for day or evening you can’t find anywhere 

else,” said Susan. 

She’s right. Lace trimmed white tunics are matched with bold accessories 

that compliment the austerity of this canvas. Printed knit 

pants are a comfortable piece of walking artwork for the body and 

can be paired with any top. 

COPYRIGHTED

The best part of Hy Pa 

– Hy Ma is that you can 

meander around the 

racks and come up with 

two-piece pants outfits 

that scream comfort and style. Some have flutter sleeves while 

others have contrast color trim or novelty beading. 

For the more avant-garde fashion lover there are asymmetrical 

tunic tops with fringe. If you love color and comfort they 

have bright pink and white oversized tunics with wide sleeves 

and novelty inserts. There’s also a half-price rack and $50 rack 

all year long. 

The most exciting part of shopping at Hy Pa – Hy Ma is the 

thrill of the hunt. You don’t – and won’t – see anything like 

their selection of clothing and accessories anywhere else. 

Nance knows this all too well. “The store has evolved a lot 

since we started it. We were one of the first tenants in the 

building and when we opened Delray was a laid-back quiet 

town. Women wanted caftans and muumuus. Comfort was 

very important because Delray was a beach town.” 

Well, guess what? Since the pandemic women have gone 

back in time so to speak. They want comfort and casual dressing 

to match the “work from home” mentality the last few 

years have brought us. 

Those who are traveling want clothing that can be rolled up 

and put in a suitcase. That’s why Mia has sourced some of the 

most comfortable knit pants in both wide leg and narrow in 

neutral colors. They won’t wrinkle, and if you decide to go for 

the chocolate cake three days in a row, you can still fit into 

your trousers. 

Hy Pa – Hy Ma also has a full selection of necklaces in choker 

style, double and triple strand beading, and longer dangling geometrics. 

There are evening clutch bags in colorful leathers or metallics, 

rhinestone pins, and faux pearls for the lady of the house. 

Let’s face it, fashion today is a smorgasbord of frivolity 

mixed with a huge dose of sensibility. And, no one knows that 

better than Nance and Mia. 

Come to where your head and heart can serenade your torso 

with fashion abandon. Enjoy the serenity and creativity that 

surrounds every corner of this store.

The owners of Ellie’s 50’s Diner have been turning the clock back 

for 32 years on North Federal Highway. But after cooking up a feast 

seven days a week – and letting everyone dip their toe in the innocence 

of the 50’s – they are closing this iconic landmark. 

Bob got the inspiration for this 50’s themed hot spot from his 

childhood in New Jersey. “I told my wife there is nothing like that 

here so I should open a 50’s diner. All my friends told me I was nuts, 

but I proved them wrong.” 

So wrong in fact that Ellie’s has succeeded where other restaurants 

have failed. Like Mount Rushmore or Worth Avenue, Ellie’s 

had a loyal following who made Ellie’s their daily pilgrimage for 

sustenance and sweetness. 

Customers like the Simon family migrated to Ellie’s every Sunday 

for breakfast in the Marilyn Room. 

“Ellie’s Diner was a staple in our family every Sunday after church 

for decades. We were at the ‘Simon table’ in the Marilyn room. 

Anywhere from 12 to 14 people would share stories and enjoy a 

great breakfast. It felt like being at home there, welcomed with a 

“Good Morning – your table is ready” from Ellie or Bob,” said Laura 

Simon, of the Downtown Development Authority. 

There are many families who consider Ellie’s a landmark of 

health and harmony, friendship and kinship. Julie and Lou Paoletti 

celebrated their son’s baptism at Ellie’s, New Year’s Eve, and they 

came to Ellie’s on their wedding day. “It’s an end of an era, there 

is no place around here with a family-oriented happy atmosphere. 

This signifies old Delray, a throwback to the 50s,” adds Lou. 

If you ask Bob about closing the restaurant he built in 1989 he’ll 

tell you it feels bittersweet. 

“W“We have a lot of good memories, and a lot of special customers 

who will really miss us and we’ll really miss them. Some of the 

same people who came the first day still come here.” 

That’s for sure. Eddie, who lived in Briny Breezes, came for lunch 

every day for 30 years. “He used to bring a crossword puzzle and 

do the whole thing here. Even at 98 years-old he drove here every 

day,” said Bob. 

It’s no surprise that Ellie’s was a landmark of success. The waitresses 

wore 50s garb and moved easily around the soda fountainera 

landscape as if they were Sandra Dee incarnate. The large three

page vinyl covered menu heralded favorites such as the “Be-Bop- 

A-Lula” breakfast, “Calendar Girl” hot plate special, and “Return to 

Sender” pork roast. 

Though the menu could take you down a 50’s midnight stroll, 

Ellie’s was also famous for Lobster Night, Prime Rib night, BBQ Rib 

night and homemade meatloaf. Not only were Bob and Ellie on the 

premises daily, it was also an homage to the days of simplicity. 

The restroom doors had etchings of Marilyn Monroe and James 

Dean, and the black and white check linoleum floor made you want 

to get up and swing dance. The juke box, statue of Marily Monroe, 

and poodle skirts set the scene for a Hollywood remake of “Grease.” 

Working hard is nothing new to Bob. His career trajectory would 

make Warren Buffet blush, and his steady presence and success 

followed him everywhere. As a teen he had a newspaper route, he 

worked at a horse farm and delivered groceries on his bike. The 

grown-up Bob owned a bar, a paint, wallpaper and decorating business, 

and a sandwich shop with three lunch trucks. 

He met Ellie on a blind date over 48 years ago (she was head 

teller at Barnett Bank) and they have two children, eight grandchildren, 

and one great grandson. 

Their success was part and parcel of their devotion and pas- 

COPYRIGHTED

sion. Ellie held court in poodle skirts, bobbie socks, and 

scarves, and her smile could melt a statue. Bob devoted 

his life to making customers happy with comfort food that 

brought back memories of family dinners and radio days. 

Their head cook, Tony has been with them for 25 years and 

so has head waitress, Ingrid. 

The smiles, laughter, and laidback atmosphere that filled the 

restaurant would have a designer label if you could capture it 

and bottle its lightness of being. The restaurant is busier now 

that the days are dwindling to its final curtain call. But Bob 

and Ellie are equally sanguine and sad to take their final bow. 

If you think they are going to drive off into the sunset in a 

large RV decorated with Elvis, you’re wrong. “We had an RV 

when we were younger, but not now. We live in Delray, have 

a farmhouse in Wisconsin, and occasionally take a road-trip 

to Vermont.” 

One thing’s for sure Bob and Ellie have not lost sight of 

their humble beginnings. “I slept on a cot in the restaurant 

the first two years,” said Bob as he recounts the past. They 

also bought the property behind Ellie’s and turned it into a 

party room called “The Flamingo Ballroom.” 

As the small Marilyn memorabilia and 50s radios get sold to 

eager customers, Bob and Ellie keep their heads focused forward. 

“We are going to miss our customers. It breaks my heart to 

say goodbye, but it’s just too much to do at my age.” 

One person who helped Bob and Ellie time travel from the 

50s to the present is Cary Roman of LivingFLA.com. “Cary has 

done a fantastic job for Ellies. Our business has increased so 

much since he started our social media.” 

Roy Simon, who has been coming to Ellie’s since the first 

day adds: “When the large Dining Room was added, we continued 

to enjoy the ‘taste’ of Ellie’s, at social events and meetings. 

Family festivities were held there, and we have so many memories! 

We will miss Bob, Ellie, and all the ladies who treated 

us as family.” 

The curtain goes dark on July 10. Until then all are welcome.

We’re Committed to Water ConSERVAtion 

and StrengtHEning Our Infrastructure 

Last month, the City Commission approved Ordinances to adjust 

water and wastewater rates for the first time in 13 years and to enforce 

three-day irrigation schedules. We have made such progress 

planning for necessary capital improvement projects such as our 

new water plant. The water and sewer rate adjustments will help 

fund that project as well as upgrades to existing infrastructure. 

Water Rate Adjustment Overview 

While the first adjustment goes into effect on July 1, 2022, you will 

not see the adjustment until you receive your August 2022 water 

bill. Despite the adjustments over the next 5 years, the average water 

bill of a single-family residence in our city in 2026, will be $75.66, 

$5.59 below that of a homeowner in a neighboring city today. To 

learn more about water and sewer rates, visit www.delraybeachfl. 

gov/waterrates. 

COPYRIGHTED 

Irrigation Ordinance Overview 

Most lawns in South Florida only need 3/4-inch to 1 inch of water 

per week to supplement rainfall. To conserve water resources at 

the request of the South Florida Water Management District, the City 

Commission approved an Ordinance to enforce the three-day irrigation 

schedule. To avoid fines, Delray Beach residents who use potable 

water for irrigation with odd home addresses should water on 

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, and those with even home addresses 

should water on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. To learn 

more visit www.delraybeachfl.gov/irrigation.

This Month in History 

Looking Back 

juLY in History 

By Lewis David 

Looking back at important dates that 

took place in the month of July both 

here in America and across the globe. 

July 1st, 1863 and 1867 

• The Battle of Gettysburg, one of the pivotal battles of the 

American Civil War, begins. 

• Canada Day, a national holiday in Canada, is commemorated 

when the confederation of Upper and Lower Canada were united 

to become the Dominion of Canada. 

July 2nd, 1881 and 1964 

• President James A. Garfield was 

shot and wounded as he entered a 

railway station in Washington D.C. 

The wound would prove fatal, and 

he would die a few months later on 

September 19th. 

• The Civil Rights Act of 1964 

was signed by President Lyndon 

B. Johnson, which would prohibit 

discrimination most notably in the field 

of voter registration, paving the way for 

African Americans to gain equal footing in elections. 

July 4th, 1776 

• The Continental Congress officially approved the Declaration 

of Independence, signaling their desire for independence from the 

British Empire. Today it is celebrated as a national holiday in the 

United States. 


• The Continental Congress adopted the Olive Branch Petition 

in an effort to reconcile with the British Empire. However, King 

George III refused to receive the letter 

and proclaims the American 

colonists to be in an open 

state of rebellion. 

COPYRIGHTED 


• French chemist Louis 

Pasteur successfully 

provides the first inoculation 

against rabies to a 

young boy who had been 

bitten by a rabid dog. 



• A resolution is signed by President William McKinley officially 

annexing Hawaii. Two years later it would be incorporated into the 

U.S. as a territory and over 50 years later it would become a state. 


• The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution is 

ratified. The amendment served to define U.S. citizenship and 

prevent states from limiting citizenship on a discriminatory basis. 

It also barred those who partook in the Confederate rebellion 

during the Civil War from holding public office. 


• The largest tank battle in history, the Battle of Kursk, takes 

place during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. The result of the 

battle was a Soviet victory and was the final strategic offensive the 

Germans were able to launch in the East, as the Allied invasion of 

Sicily would divert Hitler’s attention. 


• Congress enacts the 

Northwest Ordinance, which 

outlined the procedures 

for turning the territories 

into a state. It would be 

this ordinance that led 

to the establishment of 

five states in the area 

north of the Ohio River. 

It also made clear that the 

new states would be equal 

with the original 13. 

COPYRIGHTED 

July 10th, 1943 and 1991 

• The amphibious invasion of the island of Sicily marked the 

first Allied invasion of Europe against the Axis forces. Dwight D. 

Eisenhower would call the invasion “the first page in the liberation 

of the European Continent.” 

• The first popularly elected leader in Russia’s thousand-year 

history is elected in the form of Boris Yeltsin as he took his oath of 

office. 


• French citizens march on the Bastille, signaling the beginning 

of the French Revolution and plunging Europe into almost three 

decades of conflict and political turmoil. 



• In the First World War, Germany launched their last major 

offensive during the Battle of the Marne. Following their repulsion 

at the hands of American, British, and Italian forces, the Germans 

would not launch another offensive, eventually agreeing to an 

armistice in November. 

July 16th, 1945 and 1969 

• The experimental bomb “Fat Boy” was set off in the New 

Mexican desert. The atomic bomb created a mushroom cloud that 

rose above 40,000 feet and emitted heat three times to temperature 

of the sun, annihilating all plant and animal life in a mile radius. 

• The Apollo 11 Lunar Landing mission begins with its liftoff 

from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 



• President Truman signs an executive order determining 

the line of succession should a president die in office or become 

incapacitated. This would eventually become the 25th Amendment 

that was ratified in 1967. 


• The world watched 

as U.S. astronaut Neil 

Armstrong took man’s 

first step on the moon. 

As he stepped on the 

surface of the moon 

he said, “That’s one 

small step for man, 

one giant leap for 

mankind.” 

COPYRIGHTED 

July 21st, 1898 

• Following the Spanish- 

American War, the territory 

of Guam was ceded to the 

United States from Spain.


• At the Potsdam Conference in Germany, Winston Churchill, 

Harry Truman, and Chiang Kai-Shek announced the Potsdam 

Declaration, calling for the unconditional surrender of Japan. The 

Japanese, unaware of America’s new nuclear arsenal, rejected it. 


• The U.S. Army begins to desegregate its training 

camo facilities, marking the first step towards battlefield 

integration. However, the official order from the president 

would not come until 4 years later. 


• The Korean War comes to an end following the signing of 

an armistice by U.S. and North Korean delegates. The armistice 

remains in effect today. 

COPYRIGHTED 


• The world’s first overseas airplane flight was completed by 

Louis Bleriot, who flew a small monoplane over the English Channel 

from France to England. 

July 31st, 1790 

• The U.S. Patent Office opened for the first time. The first 

patent ever issued was signed by George Washington and Thomas 

Jefferson.

Helping is Their Cause – 

Serving is Their Mission 

It’s pretty hard to get everyone to agree on anything 

these days – whether cultural, social or political. 

But there is one thing that everyone agrees on – that Judy Fenney 

and Kathleen Megan are as close to saintly as you can get. 

The two women started the Interfaith Committee for Social 

Services and have nurtured (and helped) those in need. Some don’t 

have a place to sleep, while others need clothing, food, or healthcare. 

But nothing is too hard – or impossible – for these two women 

with the patience and perseverance of an action hero. 

They started their foray into selfless service when they met at St 

Paul’s Episcopal Church. Megan and Fenney were co-chairmen of the 

Church’s annual fund raiser, “The Jumble Sale.” 

They also cook and serve a spaghetti and meatball dinner every 

Monday night (during the school year) for children at Paul’s Place, an 

after-school program for Haitian children in Delray. 

The women volunteered at Caring Kitchen, a division of CROS 

Ministry until 2017. When the organization lost their lease, someone 

needed to take up the cause and move forward for the less fortunate. 

Megan and Fenney took the torch and ran with it. 

“A transition committee was created to explore how to offer services 

and we were appointed to the committee. We always seem to 

be sitting in a place where someone says, ’Would you two take it on?’” 

And their answer is always, “Yes we will.” 

Being of service is part of the fiber of both women’s genetic code. 

Fenney was active in the Junior League and saw how helping others 

enlightens the giver as much as those who receive. “I never had experience 

with inner-city people until the Junior League. It gave me a 

whole new outlook, another life.” 

Megan felt the same way. When she moved from Saratoga Springs 

with her husband to Florida, she looked for charity work. “I started 

volunteering at Caring Kitchen cutting veggies, cooking, and then office 

work. Judy and I became instant friends.” 

They also became two women on a mission – one that looks outward 

and asks, “What can I do to help those less fortunate?” 

The answer was a lot. 

The women set out to do what they could for those without resources. 

They took over the social services division of Caring Kitchen 

and invited 12 local churches to help, as well as the Delray Beach 

Police Outreach, Family Promise, and St. Vincent’s Care Ministry. 

Their first task was to get a place where homeless folks could receive 

mail. After that was completed, they set out to help with social 

services. They partnered with Family Promise and Delray Beach Police 

Outreach to help with their shower truck, that provides bi-weekly 

showers for those in need. 

They also get them clean clothing, towels, and hygiene products 

from generous sponsors such as Fleet Feet (for sneakers), Delray City 

Laundry, Belzers Hardware, and RECO recovery. 

While some people look down on those marginalized in society, 

Fenney and Megan see everyone as equal. 

“Judy and Kathleen are always respectful of the dignity of each 

hungry and homeless client. They are neither condescending nor 

‘holier than thou,’ but rather what they do is done with joy and gratitude,” 

said Rev. Paul J. Kane, Rector, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. 

Retired priest Marcia Beam also sees their goodness. “We honored 

Judy and Kathleen last year (the Eta Phi Beta sorority) because of all 

they do with the homeless. During Covid they made sure people got 

shots and had counseling if they needed it. They are such nice people 

and always brighten up my day.” 

They also brighten up the day for others who see them as role 

models (and follow their lead). They’re active members of Delray 

Beach Initiative to End Homelessness, and members of Delray Chamber 

of Commerce’s non-profit council. 

Fenney serves as a Vestry member at St. Pauls Episcopal Church 

and is a board member of the Delray Beach Drug Council. She’s been 

a volunteer at Caring Kitchen for the past 10 years. Megan is on the 

board of Episcopal Charities of SE Florida. 

For those who have fallen through the cracks, both Fenney and 

Megan are there to catch their spirits. “Every year we organize a memorial 

service (at St. Paul’s Church) for the ones who have passed. It 

means so much to everyone who knew them. It tears you apart – you 

know them so well and care about them.” 

It is these acts of selfless service that have Ezra Krieg so enamored. 

“Judy and Kathleen walk the talk! They put the time, energy, and their 

hearts into fulfilling the mission of their faith to help those in need. 

Through their efforts, others are inspired to get involved and are all 

working together. I am proud to call them my friends.” 

So is Officer Damien Ferraiolo (from Community Outreach at Delray 

Police Department) who helps with the shower truck. 

“Judy and Kathleen are amazing women dedicated to serving the 

less fortunate in our community. They provide much needed services, 

especially the shower truck. Their clients get clean clothes, a 

haircut, and receive outreach and peer support. Individuals leave the 

shower truck feeling like a new person. I am proud to partner with 

Judy and Kathleen to make a difference in our community.” 

And making a difference is their creed. “Our mission is to help the 

homeless get housing and jobs and become active members of society.” 

On a personal note – Megan just celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary 

with husband Charlie. They have four children and 13 grandchildren. 

Judy, recently widowed, has two children and five grandchildren. 

Both women know to whom much is given much is expected. And 

they deliver – in spades. 

“Anyone who shows up at the shower truck will not only be provided 

the human right of water, sanitation, and hygiene; but they will 

also be served a huge serving of love. It is so rewarding to see the 

difference you can make in someone’s life.”

Simple Cool 

Summer Recipes 

During the warm summer months, we all look to eat 

lighter. Here are some easy recipes for summer meals. 

Grilled Chicken Souvlaki 

ingredients 

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

3 tbsp. olive oil 

1/2 tsp. ground coriander 

1/2 tsp. dried oregano 

Kosher salt 

Pepper 

1 pt. grape tomatoes 

2 clove garlic 

3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 

1/2 head romaine lettuce 

4 scallions 

1/2 c. Fresh dill 

4 pieces pita bread 

Lowfat Greek yogurt 

8 skewers 

COPYRIGHTED 

directions 

1. Heat grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with 1 

tablespoon oil, then the coriander, oregano and 1/4 teaspoon each 

salt and pepper. Thread onto skewers. 

2. Place the tomatoes and garlic on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. 

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each 

salt and pepper. Fold and seal the foil to form a pouch. 

3. Place the pouch and skewers on the grill and cook, shaking the 

pouch and turning the kebabs occasionally, until the chicken is 

cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Just before removing from the grill, 

brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 

4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the lettuce, scallions, and dill with 

the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and tablespoon oil, plus 

¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. If desired, grill pita bread until 

warm, 1 minute each side. 

5. Spread the pita with yogurt, if desired, then stuff with the chicken, 

tomatoes, and salad. 


Summer Farro Salad

ingredients 

1 c. farro 

2 medium bell peppers 

5 tbsp. olive oil 

1 1/2 lb. boneless beef top loin steaks, thinly sliced

What Are the Best Foods to 

Balance My Dog and Cat Diets? 

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

This question is asked in thousands of pet stores, animal hospitals, 

feed and health food stores, plus many other facilities 

that have related pet services. There are many brands out 

there proclaiming “optimal nutrition,” “complete and balanced” and 

even “the best.” If it were true, why are there thousands of brands 

using hundreds of ingredients, many of which are highly processed 

and synthetic? Does the phrase “all natural” mean “as found in nature” 

or that a “natural material” is part of the process? Is it even 

possible that a “perfect” food exists since the body is dynamic, ever 

changing, as the environment is as well? 

When we understand that dogs and cats are carnivores, the first 

food we think of is meat. While this is the most general term, it actually 

refers to the components in animal-based products. Within 

this group are red meats, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy along with 

all the nutritional components contained within. These components 

include proteins, fats, specific vitamins, minerals, enzymes, 

hormones, amino and fatty acids, as well as probiotics and others 

in a bio-available form. The digestive systems of carnivores are developed 

to convert these components into energy that builds the 

body. Different organs, muscles and cuts of these components contain 

varying quantities of afore referenced, which makes the meal 

rotational in nutrients. 

Quantities and quality of nutrients can vary greatly, it’s imperative 

that we employ this same rotational presentation to our pets. 

It is because of the ever-changing requirements of the body that a 

static food such as kibble or other commercial foods are less than 

ideal. When our BioCompleteTM entrees are formulated for our 

carnivore pets, we are not only rotating the species of the meats but 

also the cuts including the nutrient dense organ meats. The body 

requires this variety. It is also vital that the prey be raised as clean 

and naturally raised as possible. 

To better understand the importance of this approach, we understand 

that all foods not only bring specific nutrients but also 

remove specific toxins and waste. Ruminant animals such as cattle, 

lamb and bison are designed to eat grass and forage. It is then converted 

into healthy Omega 3 and 9 but when fed grain-based diets, 

they produce inflammatory Omega 6 and are also highly contaminated 

with GMO’s and chemicals. Which is the healthier choice? 

In the rotation is the addition of specific whole food herbs and botanical 

extracts that they would naturally acquire through drinking water 

from puddles, ponds and other natural sources should be included. 

Raw cow’s and goat’s milk are a good source of Omega 3, Vitamin 

A and probiotics, plus are great for inflammation and more. Both 

are considered to be a superfood and contain even more vitamins, 

minerals, electrolytes, trace elements, enzymes, protein, and fatty 

acids that are utilized by the body. Goat’s milk is easier to digest for 

those with lactose intolerance. 

The nutritional values of conventionally raised chicken eggs are 

much lower than those of pastured eggs. The nutritional profile of 

duck eggs is different and far more superior to those of chicken eggs. 

While pets do adapt to eating inappropriate foods to survive, pet 

guardians have an obligation to provide the optimal species appropriate 

entrees within the overall rotational approach to achieve 

optimal nutrition and health. There is NO singular recipe that can 

accomplish the health and balance that the body needs.
