Whew!! Has it been hot and wet
this summer, or what??? I think
I speak for everyone when I say,
Im awfully glad that October has
arrived! Two-thirds through the
hurricane season and boy were
their predictions ever wrong!! (I
hope!)
We are heading into that time of
year that drew us all into Estero
to begin with: Fall and winter.
It wont be long until we feel
that pleasant, slight chill in the
morning air and some welcome
relief from the summer humidity.
Soon, our Northern friends will
be coming home and will begin to
plan all of the wonderful activities
that we enjoy each year. We are
well into the football season at
every level. The fall sports of
soccer, volleyball and golf are in
full swing at FGCU and our Florida
Everblades open their season on
October 18th vs. Orlando.
Our Everblades special feature
this month presents team captain
and face of the Everblades,
Matthieu Roy. Matthieu was the
leagues leading scorer last season
and is returning for his 6th season
with the Blades. Enjoy getting to
know him.
We would like to welcome to
Estero a new business, located
in the Jimmy Johns/ABC Liquor
plaza on US 41, Estero Family
Chiropractic. Dr. Larry and Dr.
Jeff have a fresh approach to
chiropractic care that I am sure
you will nd most interesting.
And even more great news!! The
Promenade at Bonita Bay is set to
make a comeback!! Many of you
probably dont even remember
this beautiful location during its
heyday. It will be anchored by
Nonna DeRosas Gourmet Market
and Restaurant. Management is
predicting the plaza will be full by
this time next year. Learn about
all the exciting things that are
about to happen.
Read about a new contemporary
church in Estero that is reaching
out both to the community and
to FGCU students. Learn how
another local ministry has assisted
Thrive Community Church to
fulll its mission. Good things lie
ahead for this new outreach.
And nally, our dining in style
showcases Pagellis Rustic Tuscan
Grille at Coconut Point Mall. They
are rebranding with homemade
sauces and pastas and everything
cooked to order. If you havent
been to Pagellis in a while (or
have never been), now is the time
to do so. Their old-world style is
calling.
Lastly, I want to welcome
back those who have rejoined us
and to wish everyone a safe and
happy Halloween!! Be careful of
the ghosts and goblins, but most
importantly have fun!!
I can be reached at gisrael@
lmg.com
So, until next month, I invite
you to Enjoy the Lifestyle.

L
ook on the website of Esteros newest chiropractors
and youll see a smiling baby lying on his stomach as
Dr. Jeff Gorbach lightly adjusts his spine. One of the
biggest misconceptions of chiropractic care is that
its only for people experiencing back pain, say Dr. Gorbach
and his business partner, Dr. Larry Wallen.
Dr. Jeff and Dr. Larry, as they like to be called, have
recently relocated from the Midwest to open their rst
private practice in Estero. The former roommates at Palmer
College of Chiropractic believe in chiropractic care for the
entire family.
Most people dont know that 90 percent of births have
injuries to the spine, Dr. Jeff notes. Thats the rst injury
everyone has. Your spine protects your nerves, and your
nerves control your health.
Many conditions considered a normal part of aging, like
aches, pains or even arthritis, can be eliminated through
lifelong, preventative chiropractic care. Other health
conditions such as asthma, heartburn, seizures, migraines,
colic, high blood pressure and constipation may also be
relieved.
Minor injuries from childhood can manifest as major
health problems decades down the road. While traditional
medicine tries to treat the symptoms through drugs and
surgery, chiropractic care
helps the body do what it
was designed to do, Dr. Larry
says.
With chiropractic, the
body is healing itself from
the inside out, Dr. Jeff adds.
If there is a physical cause
to any problem, the only
real correction should be a
physical solution.
Even for those not experiencing any symptoms, Dr. Larry
and Dr. Jeff recommend regular spinal adjustments as part
of wellness care. They like their patients to stop in weekly,
based on research which shows it takes just seven to 10
days to form scar tissue. Its a healthy lifestyle choice, they
say, like ossing your teeth regularly.
Although they tout the benets of early chiropractic care,
neither of the young doctors visited a chiropractor until
they were in college. Dr. Larry watched his father, a dentist,
suffer from severe back pain, which eventually ended his
career.
I always knew there had to be a better way, he says. In
college, he experienced his own bout with back pain and
sought relief through chiropractic care. It not only cured the
back pain, it also improved his overall mood.
Now his dad lives in Bonita Springs and is being weaned
off pain medications through chiropractic care.
If I can help somebody keep their career, be more
compassionate with their family, and feel better, thats what
I want to do, Dr. Larry says. I take a very natural approach
when it comes to healthcare.
Dr. Jeff also experienced the benets of chiropractic
care during his college years. Through regular adjustments,
healthy eating and exercising, he lost 30 pounds and felt
much better about himself.
The young chiropractors are eager to share their
knowledge with students and community groups. Theyve
lined up healthcare talks at Estero High School, and they
conduct weekly Health Talks at the ofce for new patients.
Were energized and happy to be here, Dr. Jeff says.
Our goal is for people to leave our ofce in a better mood,
with a better state of mind, in better health, and just have
a better day. Q

T
he clean shaven look isnt something
Roy does, and as the season goes on,
the beard gets bushier. Its a tradition
in the playoffs for players to let their
whiskers grow, but Roy always has a head start.
Matthieu Roy never shaves, really, so by the
time the playoffs start, his beard is pretty long,
says Everblades Coach Greg Poss.
The mountain man look ts Roy, who hails
from Amos, Quebec. Theres nothing around
except woods, shing and hunting and gold
mines, he says of his hometown.
And, of course, ice hockey. Its the national
sport of Canada, where every kid owns a pair of
skates and is ready for the rst freeze.
We pretty much play hockey before were
walking, Roy jokes.
He grew up with an ice rink two blocks from
home. I was there every night with my friends.
Roy played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey
League for three years before joining the ECHL
(East Coast Hockey League), playing with the
Pensacola Ice Pilots for one year before being
picked up by the Everblades. Hes been a
consistently solid player for the organization for
the last ve years, Poss notes.
He was leading scorer in the league last year,
and he is an important piece of our puzzle, Poss
says. In the last year and a half, hes really kind
of come into his own offensively.
Roy was called up to play in the American
Hockey League for three games with the Lake
Erie Monsters last spring but returns to the
Everblades this season. Hes reluctant to leave
his second home of Estero, where he spends
eight months of the year. His wife, Stephanie,
visits often for a break from the harsh Canadian
winters.
Being on the same team for a sixth consecutive
season in the ECHL is something that doesnt
occur very often, and Im very grateful for that,
N
N
"He leads by example in practices
and games. He does the hard
things like blocking shots and
sacricing himself for
the team."
Roy says. Fort Myers is now my second home, and Im lucky to know
a lot of great people around here. Im in a place where people like me,
and I like all the young kids looking up to me.
His favorite annual event is the Teddy Bear Toss, where fans throw
stuffed animals onto the ice when the Blades score their rst goal of
the game. The players then deliver the plush toys to young patients
at the Golisano Childrens Hospital of Southwest Florida.
In addition to his skills on the ice, Roy brings a quiet leadership to
the team.
He leads by example in practices and games, Poss says. He does
the hard things like blocking shots and sacricing himself for the
team.
Roy is entering his third season as team captain. Hes not the biggest
talker in a room, but when he speaks, people listen, says Poss.
Ive learned a lot from a great organization and a lot from great
veterans, Roy adds. That allows me now to be a great leader for all
the new guys here, both on and off the ice. I like that role.
When hes not on the ice, he enjoys a good steak and a long nap. Im
not shy to take a good nap in the afternoon, he says.
At 26, Roy is leaving open the future possibility of playing overseas,

but he says hell take one year at a
time. The biggest highlight of his
career thus far was brining home the
Kelly Cup in 2012.
Its a feeling he and his teammates
hope to repeat this season.
We have a real good mix of veteran
guys and young players coming back
this year, says Poss.
When the NHL lockout ended last
January, several of the Everblades
players were called up to the big
leagues, so the Blades lled in with
college players. Many are returning for
the 2013-14 season. The current roster
also includes Matthew Pistilli, the No.
5 scorer in the league last season.
Poss and Everblades General
Manager Craig Brush also added Tad
OHad as assistant coach this season.
Asst. Coach OHad spent the last three
seasons as head coach and general
manager for the Florida Jr. Blades,
achieving back-to-back national
championship appearances and two
Southeast Championships. He has
worked with Everblades players for
off-ice training and conditioning as
vice president of hockey for Athletic
Republic HQ.
A pair of preseason games are
scheduled against the Orlando Solar
Bears Oct. 11 and 12 at Germain
Arena. The season home opener is
set for Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m., also facing
the Solar Bears. Find the complete
season schedule online at www.

T
he Promenade at Bonita Bay once was
considered the place to shop with its
unique assortment of boutiques and
relaxing European style setting. Following
the recession and what some
say was mismanagement, a mass
exodus took place a few years
ago, leaving this once thriving
marketplace a near ghost town.
This fall, The Promenade
begins its comeback as a denitive
destination in Southwest Florida.
The resurgence is anchored by
Nonna DeRosas Gourmet Market
and Restaurant.
DeRosas is targeted to open
in December and will be an
18,000-square-foot, meandering,
old-world style marketplace with multiple storefronts.
The intertwined shops within DeRosas will include
a deli, bakery, gelato and coffee bar, fresh market,
butcher shop, seafood counter, pastaria, wine seller
and gourmet gift basket center.
A 275-seat restaurant will serve authentic Italian
dishes, incorporating homemade pastas and hearty
sauces, just like Nonna DeRosa made. A Tuscan-
style patio bar and sitting area by the water is
designed for relaxation.
The brainchild behind DeRosas is Francis Cuomo,
who draws upon his Italian heritage as inspiration
for the market and restaurant offerings. Cuomo
grew up in a large family (one of 10 siblings), and
was constantly surrounded by the savory smell of
authentic Italian cooking. His mother, Rose Ann, will
be helping out in the bakery, making her famous pies
and cakes.
Its a lot of old, family recipes, says Cuomo, who
has degrees in both business and culinary arts and
boasts more than 35 years in the food business. In
Southwest Florida, there is nothing like this. Its
authentic Italian with a tinge of international air.
Cuomo said he is excited to help restore the
prominence once enjoyed by The Promenade. The
ailing retail center was purchased at auction by RLR
Investments in July 2012.
The owners are being diligent to make it a
destination again and bring back the spark and the
excitement of when it was rst developed, Cuomo
says.
The 47-unit plaza dwindled to about 40 percent
occupancy in recent years but is now on its way to
a full comeback, according to Promenade Managing

Director Karen Johnson-Crowther.
She predicts The Promenade will be
full by this time next year.
There really isnt anything that has
the same ambiance The Promenade
has, Johnson-Crowther says. Its
cozy and unique. Were not trying to
compete with Coconut Point. We want
to be an alternate type of shopping
experience where you can get some
unique, very high end products.
Although DeRosas isnt opening for another month or
two, The Promenade is already starting to ll up. Johnson-
Crowther says she gets calls daily. Kays on the Beach
opened in September, and Signatures clothing boutique
is scheduled to open later this month.
Signatures, which carries trend-smart styles for
women in their thirties and beyond, started in The
Promenade 11 years ago but relocated to The Mercato in
North Naples two years ago when The Promenade became
a ghost town.
It killed us to leave, says owner Patty DeMauro. The
Promenade is beautiful. It has a very European atmosphere
and is very walkable.
Signatures snagged a prime spot right next to DeRosas.
DeMauro jokes her customers may need to buy larger sizes
after sampling all the market and restaurant has to offer.
She and other Promenade tenants say the new owner,
along with property manager Royal Shell Real Estate, is
giving The Promenade the attention needed to become a
premier destination again. RLR has invested thousands
in repairs and improvements, including fresh paint,
landscaping, and tile and roof repairs.
A plaza-style fountain sits near the east entrance
for DeRosas, and a meandering stream ows through
the development. Wade Lowe, general manager
for Roys Restaurant, cant wait to see more people
strolling by his front door.
Were as excited as it gets, he says of the
revitalization. The more feet that are walking around,
the better.
Roys is among the few tenants who never gave up on
The Promenade, anchoring the south end for 15 years. The
restaurant offers Hawaiian Fusion cuisine, which differs
from DeRosas niche. Lowe says there is a buzz among
his regular customers, who are eager to sample the fresh
market offerings of DeRosas.
He envisions The Promenade again becoming a vibrant
place to shop and dine.
A lot of the vacant spots will get lled as soon as
DeRosas opens, Lowe predicts. The new owners are
taking a lot of responsibility to see that it looks nice. They
really want to make The Promenade what it was, if not
better. Q

Pagellis Rustic
Tuscan Grille
BY LAURA J. Cummings gates
S
omewhere between stuffy formality and chain
familiarity is where youll nd Pagellis Rustic
Italian Grill. With its inviting location by the water
at Coconut Point, this Italian eatery stands out for
quality and authenticity.
If you havent been to Pagellis for a while, its time to
give the Tuscan grille another try. The new Executive Chef,
Justin Fleming, is launching a revamped menu this month,
adding 11 appetizers, four sh dishes, meat and cheese
boards and homemade pastas.
Were making everything from scratch, says Fleming.
Its concentrating on the old school, traditional stuff. This
is Old World-style cooking. All the sauces are handmade.
Everything is cooked to order.
You wont be eating boxed pasta products. Pagellis
recently purchased some 50-year-old pasta machines
from Italy to make everything from ravioli to tortellini and
gnocchi. This is as close to handmade as you can get,
Fleming says.
Although Pagellis has been known for its outdoor
entertainment (shared with neighboring Hemingways),
Fleming no longer wants the singers to take the spotlight.
The true star of the Pagellis experience is the authentic
Italian cuisine.
Were focusing on artisanal ingredients, presented in a
simple manner, he says. We want to be a quality place to
eat thats not pretentious. I want kids eating pizza sitting
next to people eating stinky cheese (gorgonzola) and
drinking wine.
Live entertainment is still on the docket for Friday and
Saturday nights, and the Pagellis large outdoor patio is
perfect for tapping your toes while overlooking the water
features and walkways.
Inside, the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, inviting
intimate conversations. For a truly unique experience, try
Pagellis four-course Wine Dinner the last Wednesday of the
month. Fleming xes a dazzling array of daring dishes not
found on the regular menu, perfectly paired with vino.
ESTEROLIFESTYLEMAG.COM | OCTOBER 2013 29
01. Starters/ Bruchetta Flatbread
Theres something incredibly sweet about Pagellis
bruschetta, which makes it stand out as a crowd pleaser.
The tomatoes, garlic, herbs and Italian cheeses top a
crusty bread, dribbled with balsamic vinegar. Also try
the Margherita Pizza as a starter or entree. Its especially
kid-friendly with its tasty cheese blend and fresh basil.
02. Insalata/ Tuscan Wedge
Pagellis offers one of the most avorful wedge salads
around. This lovely dish features a wedge of iceberg
lettuce topped with crumbled gorgonzola, bruschetta
mix and crispy prosciutto, all drizzled with creamy
parmesan dressing and balsamic glaze. Salad lovers
also should try one of Pagellis Artisan Chop Salads. The
Pagellis Chop features a tasty blend of everything on the
Wedge, with the addition of ham, eggs and artisan chips.
03. PASTA/ SAUSAGE RIGATONI
A rich, creamy sauce slathers the homemade jumbo
tube pasta, bringing plenty of buttery goodness to this
savory dish, made with Italian sausage, Romano cheese
and sweet peas. Pasta fans also must try the Gnocchi
Alla Vodka, a true treat for the taste buds. The tantalizing
sauce for this seared potato pasta is a blend of garlic
butter, vodka, pomodoro and alfredo.
04. ENTREE/ ANGUS TENDERLOIN
New on the menu, this seven-ounce tenderloin let
is seared with a beautiful pink center, then drizzled
with gorgonzola brandy demi-glace for a sophisticated
taste. Its not what you expect from an Italian eatery,
but Pagellis has managed to rival a steakhouse. For
those wanting to stay closer to traditional Italian
cuisine, try one of Pagellis many veal dishes. The Veal
Saltimbocca (literally translated: jumps in the mouth)
stars scallopini atop a savory mountain of garlic mashed
potatoes and topped with fresh sage.
05. CARNE/ PAGELLIS PORK CHOP
Another addition to the Pagellis menu, this ample
pork chop is seared to perfection and served with
sauted onions and potato wedges. For a lighter dinner,
try one of Pagellis new seafood dishes: Mahi with
Ratatouille, Salmon (with capers and broccoli crowns)
or Pan-Crusted Flounder.

A new church in Estero is reaching out to
Florida Gulf Coast University students and the
community at large. Thrive Community Church
leaders hope to minister to those without a
church home through a contemporary format
that emphasizes building relationships.
Our motto is: Relationships are Everything,
says Pastor John Roth, who has relocated
from Gainesville to grow the church in Estero.
We see Estero as a university community,
so Thrive will be a community church with
a campus ministry. The potential ahead of
us is enormous.
Thrive recently received a boost from another
Estero ministry, Light of the Glades Church.
After nearly a decade, Light of the Glades
found it necessary to disband for nancial
reasons, says treasurer Michael James Doody.
The board passed on a donation of $23,250
bequeathed to the church by Helen Sourwine
to be used in youth ministry.
Thrive intends to use the sizable donation for
its Musical Education Department, purchasing
an A/V sound system for the Praise and
Worship Band, Roth says. He hopes the band
will be leading worship in the FGCU ballroom
by early 2014.
