The Bill sh Air Conditioning Family Keeps Your Family Cool For Less!

Dependingon who you listen to, the United States is either headed towards or is in the midst of an economic recession. Regardless of the speci cs, one thing is for sure — prices are getting higher. Sure, we can cut back in certain areas, but there are just some things in life that are too important to go without... like air conditioning here in South Florida! Even though costs are inching upwards, we’re always going to need properly functioning HVAC systems. You don’t have to worry, though, about the economy’s effect on your A/C when you work with Bill sh Air Conditioning... Their family is around to keep your family cool for less!

As soon as you enter the breathtakingly beautiful space at Hudson’s on the River, you’re transported to a bright, tranquil oasis that encourages you to celebrate life. How could you not feel at ease when you’re dining on the waterfront underneath the Roosevelt Bridge, soaking up the sun on one of the restaurant’s two outdoor patios, or sipping a creative cra cocktail at its expansive full bar? en, as you learn more about Hudson’s three core principles — sustainability, fresh ingredients, and avors — you become even more immersed in the positive, upli ing vibes of the setting.

Hudson’s on the River is located on the St. Lucie River at 351 SW Flager Avenue in Stuart. e restaurant is open Sunday- ursday from 11AM to 9PM and Friday-Saturday from 11AM to 10PM. Brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday from 11AM to 3PM. For more information or to make a reservation, call 772-247-6062 or visit hudsonontheriver.com.

Celebrate Life at

Hudson’s ON THE RIVER

A unique dining experience on the river, Hudson’s o ers a resplendent menu featuring both out-of-thebox creations and innovative interpretations of beloved classics. Indeed, with a keen attention to detail, the restaurant serves beverages and meals that you won’t nd anywhere else in our area!

For example, where else can you order a sushi roll made not only with sustainable ingredients, but also that includes a bacon and avocado ailoi?! I thoroughly enjoyed that particular dish — Hudson’s signature roll ($24) — which, other than the aioli, combines fresh crab, cucumber, corn, scallops, sriracha ginger aioli, tempura akes, and soy paper. Singularly avorful, the sushi is a fun mix of spicy, smoky, and sweet, with a textural complexity that further excites the palate. “It’s a fusion of Asian and American avors,” commented Abby, concluding, “that wonderfully subverts the status quo.”

For a more straightforward starter, try the Seafood Tower appetizer ($70 for 2 people). An impressive array of chilled oysters, jumbo shrimp, lump Maryland blue crab, and a large lobster tail, the tower is a breath of fresh air… and avors! Paul declared that the oysters were “excellent,” while Luis, who normally doesn’t like oysters, agreed, saying that Hudson’s were “so good that [he] would actually order them again.” Meanwhile, Abby took one forkful of all-white crab meat and exclaimed, “Oh, that’s good!” And the lobster? e sweet, succulent meat was extracted from the pesky shell for us, so eating it was both easy and enjoyable!

When it comes to an entrée, if you’d like something other than seafood, then try the New York Strip ($58), which is made using 14 oz. of phenomenal grass-fed, sustainably-raised, all-natural beef from a family farm, Brasstown Beef, in North Carolina. Served with ngerling potatoes, locally-sourced green beans, and a roasted bone marrow maître d’ butter, the steak is tender and seasoned just right. e butter adds a delectable richness, and Luis said, “Despite being a more seafood-focused restaurant, Hudson’s achieves a better NY strip than most other dedicated steakhouses.”

Seafood lovers, on the other hand, should take the leap and select what is arguably the most unique item on Hudson’s menu: the octopus “hotdog” ($19). Cornmeal-dusted con t octopus is layered with napa cabbage, black garlic aioli, avocado wasabi aioli, and

appreciated the freshness of the snapper, and said that even without the tempura, “its avor would still shine.”

sesame seeds on a toasted brioche hotdog roll, then served with your choice of side (we highly recommend the yuca fries… di erent and delicious!). It may sound or look intimidating, but this creative twist on an American classic is “remarkably delicious,” according to Abby. e nicely-cooked octopus is salty without being shy, and boasts the perfect balance of a crunchy outside with a succulent inside that is “so freaking good,” said she.

More of a traditionalist? Order the seafood risotto ($41), a luscious, creamy combination of gigantic diver scallops, royal red shrimp, crab, baby heirloom tomatoes, chopped asparagus, and grilled corn. I was oored by the melt-in-yourmouth quality of the seared scallops, and could’ve easily eaten them on their own! e shrimp and crab were similarly fresh and tasty. Overall, I adored the instant comfort that this dish inspired within me. e rich cream, sweet seafood, and full vegetables all work in tandem to tantalize your tastebuds!

Another excellent option is one of the most popular items on the menu: Hudson’s Snapper ($38). e generous plate includes a huge piece of fresh, tempura snapper with coconut jasmine rice, baby bok choy, bell peppers, mango jalapeno coulis, and spicy coconut aioli. e mild sh rst pops with bites of spice, then is balanced by the avor of the subtly- oral rice. Paul really

For dessert, you can’t go wrong with the coconut cream pie or Key lime pie. e former is a deconstructed version of the dessert, with crumbles of a “crust” that’s so and tastes like sweetness and cinnamon. I, normally, despise both the avor and texture of coconut; however, a er hearing the others rave about Hudson’s coconut cream pie, I had to try it. I can honestly say that it’s the one and only coconut dessert that I have ever actually enjoyed! It was a light and refreshing excursion to the tropics, with delicate notes of coconut that harmonize beautifully with hints of vanilla.

e Key lime pie, on the other hand, immediately enlivens your tastebuds with its tart sweetness, which is tempered by the honey and cinnamon in its graham cracker crust. “ at’s the stu ,” Luis complimented, “that makes you go ‘Mmmmm.’”

Brighten your day, excite your palate, and celebrate life by dining at Hudson’s on the River! e waterfront view alone is enough to delight you, so just wait until you get your hands on one of the restaurant’s visionary libations or inspired entrées…

IMPROVE FITNESS AND YOUR OVERALL WELL-BEING.

By Gabby Gregory

Every 5,000 miles, like clockwork, you take your car to get its oil changed and tires rotated. It’s basic, routine maintenance, but that consistent attention and upkeep is vital for your vehicle to run e ciently, especially over a number of years. Your body, much like your vehicle, requires regular care and treatment to keep it healthy. And, again like your automobile, your body needs support from someone other than yourself, a professional who can guide it to achieving its utmost abilities and to retaining its peak performance.

Getting older, playing sports, or having a condition like sciatica or arthritis shouldn’t hold you back from living your life! You can feel like your younger self again, the one who didn’t feel any aches or pains when walking, running, jumping, or even sitting… all you have to do is visit Stretch Zone.

Drew Brees, former quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, is the newest partner at Stretch Zone who advocates for people to regularly get stretched. A er personally going to Stretch Zone for an assisted stretching session, Drew was impressed with the uniquely e ective and nationally accredited Stretch Zone Method®, which is administered by a highly-trained and Stretch Zone-certi ed stretch practitioner.

Here’s How It Works:

1.) Your rst session begins with lling out an intake form and having a consultation with your experienced and knowledgeable stretch practitioner. Based on your medical background and your personal goals, the stretch practitioner will personalize the ensuing 30-minute assisted stretching session to meet your individual needs. On subsequent visits, you’ll simply do a check-in with the practitioner to update your medical pro le with any recent changes and/or any new pain or discomfort that you might be experiencing.

2.) e

stretch practitioner initiates the rst steps of the approved Stretch Zone Method®, utilizing Stretch Zone’s special patented

straps to encourage your body to relax and ease into the stretches. You won’t nd these straps anywhere else! Comparable to a thunder jacket for your pets, they are meant to calm your mind so that your entire body is perfectly loose, thus allowing the stretch practitioner to stretch your body to its full potential and, as a result, provide you with both preventative maintenance and pain relief.

3.) Assisted stretching (a/k/a passive stretching) is di erent from physical therapy in that your body is being stretched by someone else, you’re not actually doing any work. roughout your 30-minute session, the stretch practitioner will be steadily interacting one-on-one with you, ensuring that you are completely comfortable and not experiencing any pain. Ultimately, you are in control of the stretch, even as your practitioner guides your body through each and every step, because you tell the practitioner when you feel your best stretching position. e more you communicate, the better results you’re going to get!

Take advantage of Stretch Zone’s incredible New Year Special: get one FREE 30-minute stretching session! Anybody and everybody can and should be stretched. In fact, one Stretch Practitioner I spoke with at Stretch Zone says, “98% of the people I see in front of me really need to be stretched. is is something you should not live without.” Remember, it’s just like getting your oil changed! Plus, celebrities and professional athletes have been getting stretched for years, so it’s time for the general population to be clued into the secret!

Get Stretch Zone’s New Year Special for yourself or get them for a friend or loved one… what better way to say you care than to give the gi of making life easier, of feeling healthier, lighter, and younger, and of feeling like yourself again?

Overoptimism can be as dangerous (or more) as over pessimism, that’s in a nutshell Jerome Powell’s message following the past FOMC meeting, where the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.25 percentage points to 4.75%. While making it clear that the economy is no where near out of danger, the Fed slightly signaled signs of a near future pivot by reducing its .50bps increase rate from last year. Investors should be more cautious than happy. Here is why.

Investors are ignoring many of the indicators and focusing on only one improving aspect of our economy, which is the slight decline in in ation. Others focus on the short-term shi s of the major indexes. Yes, the S&P 500 rose 1% immediately a er the Fed’s announcement. But comments such as “in ation is headed in the right direction”, or “the economy is not as bad as we thought”, that are becoming increasingly common by analysts and even the International Monetary Fund (IMF), create a misleading sense of calm and recovery, when in fact there’s little evidence supporting those assumptions.

e Fed uses the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to measure the changes in prices of purchases for consumption. is measure analyzes 8 sectors: Food & Beverage, Housing, Apparel, Transportation, Medical Care, Recreation, Education & Communication and Other Goods & Services. During the Fed’s announcement, Chair Powell explained that in ation only began to subside in the “Goods & Services” sector, which is only 14% of the entire measurement. Whereas in the other sectors such as Housing, over 40% of the basket, in ation decline has not even begun.

Speaking of the Housing sector, one of the largest homebuilders in the country KB Home, released their end of year earnings disclosing an alarming 68% of home cancellations in 2023. e housing sector is considered a “lagging” indicator, (a measure of the past results). But it can too be consider a “leading” indicator, in the sense that changes in the housing sector can give us some indication of future economic outlook. I don’t believe the housing sector, as well as the Food & Beverage, Apparel and Recreation sectors have experienced the full brunt of interest rate hikes and stubborn in ation.

e stock market is in not a sole reliable measure of our economy, as it’s very re ective of investor sentiment. Changes in the stock market do not signi cantly a ect most of the population, because only about 14% of American families have direct stock investments, according to the Federal Reserve, while 52% have some degree of stock market exposure in their retirement accounts through work. Jerome Powell is not concerned about the stock market, despite Wall Street’s pressures. ere are more concerning economic factors beyond the stock market and ignoring them can be regrettably foolish.

For What It’s Worth by Dr. Melfi, Ph.D.

It appears that my last two columns regarding the di culty which many patients are facing when attempting to make an appointment with their physician, or attempting to get someone to call them back regarding their medical issues, from doctors who are employed by the large hospital(s) in our communities have struck a nerve. I am used to receiving responses (thank you very much) from some of my articles, but never have I received so many at one time, and they keep coming. I thought this was a big problem for me personally, but apparently, it is an even larger problem than I thought. e emails that I have received are upsetting and at times heartbreaking. Elderly people without a doctor, when their physician of many years suddenly takes a leave of absence or retires, with no one to replace them. People who have to wait months, some nearly a year, to get on their physician’s schedule for treatment, some without the resources to know where to turn, and without guidance from the very institution with which they placed their trust.

In my opinion, and the opinion of others, the system is broken. We all deserve better than this. When people are sick, when people are hurting, when people expect to be treated, and are turned down, they feel abandoned, lost, bewildered, and angry. What’s worse, many of you have asked me to help. I wish I could, but like you, I don’t know where to turn. Still, since I have some public

voice, and a conscience that realizes we all have to do our part to help, I reached out to the hospital to see if they employed a patient advocate who could eld all the calls/complaints and frustrations, and guess what? I found a department that allegedly can help. It is known as the Patient Experience O ce, and the phone number is 772-223-4995. A er two phone calls and several hours later, my call was returned by a very nice woman who was willing to give me the opportunity to voice my concerns. She said she understood the frustration of having to wait for appointments for months, or having a doctor who no longer works there, nor replaced, leaving patients without a physician. She told me her o ce is open to any and all concerns, and she does what she can to allay those concerns, and will contact individual physician o ces to attempt to get earlier appointments.

When I asked her why there is such a long wait to get appointments, even for long-standing patients with doctors of record, she said that with the growth of the community and the large in ux in the population coming to Florida, there are simply not enough doctors to see patients. I nd that answer truthful, but frankly, unacceptable. She also stated that many doctors have le this facility, and have not been replaced, but that they are “working on it.” I don’t doubt what she says is true, but why are doctors’ leaving, and by leaving, I mean leaving our community unattended? Something has to change. is should not be accepted

as the new normal. Sick people need to get well, it’s as simple as that. e question is, how can we do that without appointments or physicians? I am all for nurse practitioners. I am a nurse, rst and foremost, but nurses are not doctors, regardless of how intelligent they are (and they are!).

As well, I reminded the woman I spoke with that at the least, the front line of sta workers elding calls should be held to a higher standard of professionalism, by being kind, considerate and courteous, not rude and dismissive, like some of you have encountered. She agreed. So how much can she help? I don’t know, but personally, I still have to wait until the end of August to see my physician, even though I have been a patient of his for the past ten years.

For What It’s Worth, l appreciated her empathy on behalf of all of us, but it didn’t get me into my doctor any sooner. Maybe a few letters to the administration would be the incentive for change. en again, maybe not.

JB Roo ng Explains… What’s in a Roof?

Not all roofs are made the same! If you need to install a new roof, then you should know what options are available to you. After all, how else can you make the best, most informed decision?

Thankfully, JB Roo ng is here to explain… what’s in a roof:

SHINGLE ROOFS

Light and exible, yet durable, asphalt shingles adapt to either standard or unconventional roof angles. They come in a variety of styles and colors, so you can easily nd the perfect t for your unique taste. Additionally, asphalt shingles roofs are among the most affordable options for not only a total roof replacement, but also for roof repairs. In the event that a shingle blows or breaks off your roof, then you can just replace that speci c shingle versus a large section or the entire surface area.

METAL ROOFS

• 5-V CRIMP METAL

One of the most popular options, 5-V Crimp Metal Roofs are generally the most affordable among metal roo ng systems. They are energy-ef cient, long-lasting, and durable. Furthermore, 5-V crimp metal panels are available in a range of colors.

• STANDING SEAM METAL

Ultra-reliable, standing seam metal roofs promise incredible longevity. The design protects the roof’s metal fasteners from harmful and destructive UV rays, wind, rain, and hail, so these roofs often last for at least 50 years. Standing seam metal roofs also boast a more modern look for your home.

• STONE-COATED METAL PANEL

Rust-proof, re-resistant, and durable, stone-coated metal panel roofs will last for a long time and require little maintenance. They are also corrosionresistant, watertight, and heat-resistant. Finally, stone-coated metal panels will increase the value of a property.

TILE ROOFS

Weather-resistant tile roo ng can handle high winds, re, heavy rain, and hail. They can also reduce some of the heat from the sun, thus lowering your air conditioning costs. Finally, tile roofs are immune from insect destruction, as they are pest-resistant.
