NEW YEAR, NEW YE

I

n Tampa, the start of the new year means something else is on the horizon: Gasparilla. You may have recognized Dr. Randy Feldman of Feldman Orthodontics from our cover.

After being part of Ye Mystic Krewe for the past 17 years, he knows a thing or two about what goes into creating an authentic pirate costume. See page 38 for three traditional parade costumes. We also caught up with the Greiss family, who trains for the 15K portion of the Gasparilla Distance Classic each year.

We asked them to share their tried and true training tips (page 28).

Beyond pirates and parades, this issue also features our Top 10 Under 40 list, a group of men and women who are making strides in their respective industries while serving our community in unique ways. Turn to page 16 to see who made this year’s list and to find out what charity they support. That, along with our Charity Guide, just might inspire you to give a little this holiday season and all year long. And as always, our advertisers (old and new) have some new offers to share for the New Year.

From all of us at South Tampa Magazine, thanks for making 2016 a memorable one.

Wishing you a prosperous 2017. Happy New Year.

Sincerely, Shawna Wiggs Group Publisher (813) 600-4000 shawna@southtampamagazine.com Business Owners and Service Providers: 2017 kicks off with our Annual Home Editions of TAMPA Magazine and South Tampa Magazine. 60,000 copies of South Tampa Magazine are distributed to every home and business in the area.

“

I have seen other physicians work, and I just choose his work—it’s far superior. Last year he did surgery on my upper eyelids.

I had it done on a Friday and was back to work on a Monday. My surgery was very short, minimally invasive, and I recovered quickly.

Family Crosses the Finish Line Training for the 2017 Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic with the kids in tow Written By Derek Herscovici | Photography By Gabriel Burgos

One of Tampa’s oldest and most unique 15K (9.3 mile) races, the 2017 Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic is one of the few to feature both an adult race and a kids race. South Tampa Magazine spoke with the matriarch of a family running both, Corbett Preparatory School of IDS teacher Julie Omodio-Griess, Ph.D. 28 | SouthTampaMagazine.com

MEET THE GREISS FAMILY

Riley (12)

Maya (9)

Director, Tribridge

Teacher, Corbett Preparatory School of IDS

Practices Dance (Jansen Dance Project, 10 years)

Practices Gymnastics (is in her third competitive year)

“

My older daughter, Riley, is in dance, so she does a lot of stretching and flexibility. My younger daughter, Maya, is a gymnast, so it’s the same thing.

For me, I usually practice yoga on my off days.

“

“I

’m really only competitive with myself — I first did the 5K in 1998 and then progressed to the 15K and then from there progressed up to a halfmarathon,” Omodio-Griess said.

“My husband, Chuck, usually does the 5K, so we brought our girls Riley (12) and Maya (9). They wanted to do it, but we wanted to wait until they were big enough.”

Avoiding injuries Stretching and controlled breathing can either make

or break long-distance running, especially if you’re inexperienced.

“Preventing injury is really just teaching them how to run with form because kids tend to be tippy-toe runners,” Omodio-Griess said. “Teach them to run heel-toe and also practice breathing slow and steadily, not heavily, so you don’t end up with a cramp.”

Parent motivation

A doctor of curriculum and instruction in special education, Omodio-Greiss believes kids will try anything that doesn’t feel like work, even if it means running in tutus.

“Make it just part of your life, but make it fun: listen to music, set challenges, or even use a Fitbit as an incentive to get more steps in,” she said. “We make it fun by running in tutus and being silly about it and helping them realize that it’s all about having fun, it’s not about winning, and just having that mindset of ‘let’s just go have fun as a family.’”

Balancing Health & Fun Maintaining a balanced running schedule is important to Omodio-Greiss, who doesn’t

want her daughters’ new pastime veering into obsession.

“I run because it helps my sanity, but I don’t necessarily do it so that I can be a size 2,” she said. “I want to keep in shape but I don’t look at my weight that way and I try to make sure I 30 | SouthTampaMagazine.com

Though her daughters are involved in outside sports, the family still jogs short distances with them to build up their endurance for longer races.

“We did our third Wiregrass Wobble Turkey Trot this year,” Omodio-Griess said. “It’s a simple one-mile run, but sometimes it’s challenging—my younger one takes off like a jackrabbit, and then all of a sudden she has a cramp. Riley said she actually likes the 5K better because she doesn’t feel like she has to sprint the whole time—you can go at your own pace. The mile she feels she has to run all out, so I think she’s kind of getting the bug for longer distances.”

“I’ve signed up for more races this year than I have in the past five years,” Omodio-Greiss said. “It’s fun that they want to do this with

fter years of research and testing, there’s finally an FDA-approved saline breast implant option that feels as natural as silicone, without the risk of silent rupture. It’s called the Ideal Implant — and there’s only one plastic surgeon in South Tampa who has access. When Dr. Coberly first learned about this revolutionary new saline implant, she knew she had to offer it to her patients. The secret is its innovative design, which features multiple layers to reduce folding and wrinkling. With the Ideal Implant, patients can enjoy the natural feel

A Gasparilla Life for You Take some inspiration from Tampa krewe members when gathering booty for your Gasparilla outfit.

alk around South Tampa on Dec. 26, and you’ll notice that Christmas wreaths have swiftly been taken down and replaced with beads, skulls and crossbones.

Half the fun of the Gasparilla holiday – and yes, it is indeed a holiday – is dressing up for the occasion. For some, merely incorporating pirate-themed jewelry and red and black accessories is enough. Plenty of South Tampa boutiques, including Juxtapose

38 | SouthTampaMagazine.com

Apparel and Studio (718 South Village Circle) and Why Not Boutique (3423 W Bay to Bay Blvd.) stock up on fashionable apparel perfect for your parade-day plundering.

But for others, going all-out on the pirate gear is the only way to do it. Krewe members, like on these pages, set the standard for Gasparilla best. Read on to learn more about some of their coolest costumes.

 Michelle Akers, Krewe: YMKG

Participant since 2009 Owner, Designer Skin Spray Tan

Akers, married to Dean Akers, tags along with the other wives of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla (YMKG) members during the invasion and parade.

“It’s a fun time,” she said.

She has collected the pieces of this pirate costume from various retailers over time, but Gasparilla paradegoers can find looks similar to the one on the left at La France (1612 E. 7th Ave.) or Medieval Collectibles (medievalcollectibles.com).

Jan + Feb 2017 | 39

ďƒ™ Dean Akers, Krewe: YMKG Participant since 2002 COO, L.M. Funding

Akers’ costume was custommade for around $1,000 when he joined YMKG. Similar looks are available at Pirate Fashions (4006 W. Cayuga St.), and the seamstresses at South Tampa Trading Co. (1916 S. Dale Mabry Highway) can help you create a one-of-a-kind pirate outfit. Akers customized his costume even further with unique buttons he creates with his sons, who this year will all be old enough to become YMKG members. Last year he made one with a photo of his granddaughter, Mackenzie, who was born shortly before Gasparilla.

40 | SouthTampaMagazine.com

 Dr. Randy Feldman, Krewe: YMKG

Participant since 1997 Orthodontist, Feldman Orthodontics

Feldman’s costume was made for him by seamstresses who specialize in performing arts costumes, but he now puts his costumes together by himself.

“It’s a lot of fun, as it’s a bit different every time,” he said.

He estimates that the original costume cost somewhere between $300 and $600. Now, he accessorizes with what he calls “odds and ends” from his travels to places like Key West, the Caribbean and Las Vegas.

He wears beads custom made for him overseas featuring his own Tooth Pirate character.
