Hello April 

While our friends and family up North were 

busy bracing for back to back snowstorms, 

we South Floridians were basking in some of 

the best weather ever! Cool mornings and evenings, 

and warm mid-days filled with sunshine. 

April is here and this means our seasonal guests begin to go back 

home, the Spring breakers head back to school and the Ave calms 

down just a bit. Until...the 56th Annual Delray Affair!!! Also known 

as “the Greatest Art Show Under the Sun” The Delray Affair draws 

over 500 artists from all over the United States. Spanning over 12 

city blocks, there is something for everyone. Read all about the Affair 

and all the new additions for 2018 in the Delray Beach Marketing 

Cooperative regular feature. 

Our City Person this month is Laura Simon. She is the Executive 

Director of the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority. 

The DDA was founded by her father in 1971 but even more remarkable 

is that her family has lived in Delray Beach for 106 years!!! Her 

story is incredible and so is she. 

There are many things happening in Delray this month - get out 

there and enjoy the last few weeks of our perfect weather...soon it 

will be HHH - Hazy Hot and Humid! 

Spring, 

a lovely 

reminder of 

how beautiful 

change can 

truly be 

See you on Ave!

10th Annual 

Proper Affair 

Fashion Show and 

Cocktail Party 

On April 11, 2018, local and national 

sponsors are joining forces to create 

the tenth annual Proper Affair Fashion 

Show. National women’s specialty retailer, 

Beyond Proper, hosts this dazzling 

fundraising event benefiting Achievement 

Centers for Children & Families in support 

of underprivileged children and lowincome 

families in our community.

much-anticipated runway show featuring 

a sneak peek at the hottest spring 

and summer styles from Beyond Proper. 

ACCF CEO, Stephanie Seibel says, “We are 

incredibly grateful and overwhelmed at 

the amount of support we continue to receive 

from our signature partner Beyond 

Proper, our loyal sponsors, the local community 

and our dedicated volunteers. 

Our children have the opportunity to 

perform at this event and look forward to 

it each year. Most of all, the funds raised 

at the Proper Affair have a huge impact 

on the services and programs we offer.” 

Beyond Proper President, Sheryl Clark 

adds, “We’re looking forward to celebrating 

our 10th year with the Achievement 

Centers for Children &Families. Every 

year we enjoy connecting with our own 

fashion family while helping families in 

our local community.”

the cause including a variety of sponsorship 

packages, product donations, and 

becoming a “proper” volunteer.

Parkland Benefit 

Concert At

Raises Over 

$86,000.00 

On Wednesday, February 14th, 2018, 

tragedy struck our local community 

at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High 

continued page 16

DR.Y.AARON KAWEBLUM 

Founder of Boca Del Mar Pediatric and Adolescent Center. 



School in Parkland, Florida. In response to 

this tragedy, a Benefit Concert was held on 

Friday, February 23rd, produced by Damn 

Good Hospitality, owner-operators of Revolution 

Live, Stache, America’s Backyard, 

and CWS, which raised $86,058 for those 

affected. Performers included Saigon Kick, 

Austin Mahone, Jack + Jack, The Ries Brothers, 

and many more. 

“At Damn Good Hospitality, we are a 

family-owned business that has been a 

proud member of our community for over 

ten years. We look forward to bringing local 

residents together and encouraging a 

sense of community,” said Jeff John, CEO. 

“In the wake of this horrific event, we were 

honored to bring together supporters, primarily 

to raise funds for those affected, but 

also to provide a safe night of positivity and 

music for the entire community.” 

100% of ticket sales, 50% of bar sales, 

and 100% of funds raised by individual donations 

& online auction proceeds contributed 

to the total. The funds are currently 

being retained by the Kopelowitz Ostrow, 

P.A. trust account, and will subsequently 

be distributed to those affected with the 

guidance of a group of Downtown Fort Lauderdale 

community advisors. To maximize 

this contribution, the online auction will be 

continuing through eBay For Charity with 

remaining donated items.

Delray Librarian 

to Travel to Rural 

Kenya to Deliver 

Library Books 

As more than 60,000 books make the 

three-month journey by sea, a local librarian 

is preparing for her journey to meet 

the books on land in Kenya and deliver them 

to remote villages to set-up school and community 

libraries. 

Isabella Rowan, educational programs 

and volunteer manager at Delray Beach 

Public Library, will travel to Nairobi on June 

8, 2018, where she will join other volunteers 

from Project Humanity and travel 10 

hours overland to the shores of Lake Victoria 

where small villages and schools are eagerly 

awaiting their books. Ms. Rowan will 

travel village to village making deliveries, 

putting books on makeshift shelves, visiting 

classrooms, and providing peer support 

and encouragement for teacher librarians. 

She will also evaluate potential sites 

and review applications for new libraries 

in the Kendu Bay region. 

The remote and hazardous nature of this 

mission calls for careful preparation in everything 

from band-aids to a stash of granola 

bars and fruit snacks. Volunteers are 

responsible for raising their own funding, 

plus there are expensive international travel 

vaccines. Regardless of any hardship or cost, 

Ms. Rowan is passionate about libraries and 

public service both here and abroad. 

To promote local community awareness 

about literacy in Kenya and her mission to 

deliver libraries, Isabella is planning some 

free programs at Delray Beach Public Library.

In their own words 

Engel & VÖlkers® 

BY Eric Granger 

I 

came to Delray Beach in 1987 from Boston, after attending Boston 

University. My sister, brother-in-law, and I moved the family business 

(Levenger) to a space on Congress Avenue. Our father served as a captain 

in the Navy, so we’ve lived in several places. Our “Grandpa Lenny” 

had a beautiful home here. That connection along with ideal weather for 

boating, fishing, and cycling was quite a draw. Over the years I’ve used 

my corporate background and put my passion for sales, marketing, contract 

negotiation, legal, and home building towards residential real estate, 

having closed over 350 transactions during the last 17 years. I’m totally 

committed to helping my clients make the best choices for themselves 

and their lifestyles. A home is your biggest investment, so I sincerely want 

clients to be happy for years to come whether buying or selling. When not 

working, I enjoy time with my wife Karen, soccer games with our son Luke, 

and supporting local nonprofits. If we’re not in Delray, we typically visit 

states that begin with M—Maine, Maryland, and Montana.

The Heart of 

Delray Gallery 

BY Bonnie Perlin, Studio Owner INSIDE the Heart 

of Delray Gallery - www.BonniePerlin.com 

Art has always played an important part in my life. If I am not painting 

in my studio, I am attending art workshops, or visiting galleries and 

other artist’s studios. Painting is many things to me, it gives me an 

opportunity to express myself and the satisfaction that my work pleases 

the viewer. My work has appeared in numerous juried shows and exhibitions, 

among them, the Mansion in Old Westbury Gardens, the Sea Cliff 

Gallery, the Robley Gallery, the Scherr Gallery, the Hecksher Museum, the 

Sundance Gallery, the West Palm Beach airport, and the Linda White gallery. 

I exhibited at the National Arts Club in Manhattan with the Catherine 

Lorillard Wolfe Art Club in their exhibition to provide a grant to the Metropolitan 

Museum of Art. I participated in the Artist’s Plate Project to feed 

the hungry at the Sea Cliff Gallery and an exhibition at the Hecksher Museum 

of Art in Huntington. My painting entitled, “Abandoned” was shown 

in an exhibit in the Boca Museum of Art through the Artist’s Guild. My

center academy 

BY Dr. Mack R. Hicks 

In 1966, Dr. Mack Hicks became the first child psychologist in independent 

practice in Pinellas County, Florida. For the next 40 years, 

Dr. Hicks directly impacted the lives of thousands of families through 

his consultations, counseling, and evaluations. He continues to serve as 

Chairman of Center Academy schools, which are now celebrating their 

50th anniversary. Dr. Hicks founded Center Academy for students with 

Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, conditions 

that were not well known in 1968. As a neuropsychologist and pioneer 

in the treatment of learning disorders, Dr. Hicks opened Centre Academy 

in London, England, the first school for students with dyslexia in the 

United Kingdom. There are now 12 Center Academy schools in Florida, 

Georgia, and the United Kingdom, including Center Academy Prep in Coral 

Springs. In these college-prep schools, students with ADHD, autism spectrum, 

and a wide range of neuropsychological processing and learning 

issues find renewed hope and success. In recognition of his exceptional 

work with youth, Dr. Hicks has received numerous awards, including Fellow 

of the Royal Society for the Arts (United Kingdom), University of Florida 

Department of Clinical and Health Psychology Outstanding Alumni Award, 

and Pinellas Education Foundation Recognition of Outstanding Contributions 

to the Students and Teachers of Pinellas County.

My name is Davida Pomrenze, I grew up in Washington, DC and 

relocated to New York for college, and eventually settled in 

Long Island, N.Y. All this lead to my passion to explore the wellgroomed 

suburbs of Long Island, where I developed an eye for identifying 

real estate bargains and restoring interiors. When I moved to Palm Beach 

County in 2014, I saw a fresh opportunity and excitement in local residential 

sales. I recently joined Posh Properties, and am excited about the 

brand and the market. My ability to listen to my customer’s needs is key 

to a happy customer and a successful career. In my spare time, I love to 

spend time with my five grandchildren and partner with my fiancé, Hilly, to 

buy and refurbish starter homes — working on everything from materials 

prep, to staging and maintenance — rolling up her sleeves when necessary 

to get the job done. Please call, and allow me to be your experienced 

guide to our local real estate market and the opportunity to has to offer.

By Darien Davies 

Delray Under $50 

Now that Delray Beach is a rising star in the art, culture and social scene, 

it might seem a little difficult to find affordable activities, shops or 

restaurants. I am here to prove you wrong. Delray Beach 

offers a mix of high-end boutiques with laid-back 

restaurants, and events for the whole family or 

nightclubs for night owls. Here is what you can do 

in Delray Beach in April for $50 or less. 

Let’s get ready to have 

some fun in the sun! 

April is Straw Hat 

Month and is the perfect 

time to head downtown for 

the 56th Annual Delray Affair. 

Named the “greatest 

show under the Delray sun,” 

the Delray Affair is one of 

the largest arts and crafts 

festivals in the Southeast 

U.S. Regardless if you need 

something, just want to browse, or want to get ideas for some at-home 

projects, the Affair is a great place to go and get inspired. The event is 

held along 12 blocks of Atlantic Avenue from Northwest Second Avenue 

to the Intracoastal so you’ll also get your steps and Vitamin D. 

Artists and crafters come from all over the world so you can expect 

to see great jewelry, glasswork, woodwork, paintings, sculptures, and 

more. Your straw hat will definitely love being out and about, so show 

it a good time. The Delray Affair is held Friday, April 13 and Saturday, 

April 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, April 15 from 10 a.m. to 

5 p.m. The best part about the event is that it’s free to attend, so that 

leaves you with plenty of new art possibilities. Please visit www.delrayaffair.com 

or call (561) 279-0907 for more information. 

adrenaline-packed sports. The Festival is held at the Crest Theatre 

from 7 to 9 p.m. and general admission is $18, which is an inexpensive 

ticket around the world! The Crest Theatre is located at 51 N. Swinton 

Ave. Please visit www.oldschoolsquare.org or call (561) 297-4512 for 

more information and to purchase tickets. 

It’s Earth Day, so let’s be nice to our favorite planet! If you’re looking 

for a way to give back, look no further than the Eighth Annual 

SDG Beach Cleanup. Held Sunday, April 22 from 8 to 10 a.m., you’re 

invited to bring your friends, family members and neighbors and help 

clean the beach of litter and debris. As you know, “we do not inherit 

the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our grandchildren” so 

this is a great opportunity to put in some elbow grease and show our 

support for Mother Earth. The event is hosted by Spodak Dental Group, 

Surfrider Foundation – Palm Beach Chapter, Woo Creative, the Downtowner, 

and other local businesses with a goal to bring greater awareness 

to ocean conservation and encourage the community to be involved. 

All tools will be provided so all you need to bring is yourself and 

meet on the beach across from Anchor Park. The group will spend a few 

minutes getting everyone organized, and then you’re off! There will be 

Yes, our beach is gorgeous, but I miss the mountains! Good 

thing the Banff Mountain Film Festival is coming into town on 

Wednesday, April 18 so we can get our fix of non-peninsula 

life, which also happens to be the same day as the International Day 

for Monuments and Sites. Florida Atlantic University and Old School 

Square present the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, and this 

year’s screenings feature the world’s best mountain sport, culture 

and environmental films. The Festival is the most prestigious mountain 

festival in the world, and we’re so lucky that it’s coming to our 

back yard. The festival is held every fall in Banff, Alberta, and right 

after, the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour begins to travel 

the globe with stops in roughly 450 communities and 40 countries. 

These films are so great because they highlight new landscapes and 

remote cultures, and expose audiences to exciting adventures and 


prizes for the person who collects the most amount of garbage, so 

it’s a win, win. Anchor Park is located at 340 S. Ocean Blvd. Please 

visit Spodak Dental Group’s facebook events page, facebook.com/ 

spodakdental, or call (561) 498-0050 with any questions. 

Breathe, breathe deeper, repeat. We are officially into the 

swing of 2018 and getting into the grind of school, work, 

and making time for yourself. April is Physical Wellness 

Month and is a great reminder that it’s important to take care 

of your body and mind. If you are not sure where to start, head 

to the beach for Sunset Beach Yoga. This organization is a free/ 

donation-based community outlet/inlet and meetup group that 

was established in 2010 by Jessica Om. Sunset Beach Yoga provides 

light education and guidance on the practice/observance 

of Yoga and a 75-minute suggestive guidance (vinyasa) asana 

flow to liberate stress, increase overall health/vitality, breathe 

better, increase flexibility, and connect with nature in a stressless 

environment. The group meets weather-permitting on 

Wednesdays and Sundays at 5 p.m. at Atlantic Dunes Park, 1605 

S. Oceans Blvd. You are welcome to hang out on the beach on 

your mat, and enjoy the space, or try the different moves as you 

feel you can. It’s a safe environment with people who are just 

there to have a good time and “feel” life a bit better, which is 

easy to do when you can hear the waves crashing and breathe 

the fresh salt air. Please visit www.meetup.com/sunsetyogaonthebeach 

for more information. 

Even though many hunger-relief programs occur in the 

holiday season, hunger doesn’t stop during other parts of 

the year. April is Global Child Nutrition Month and you are 

invited to Raise Your Glass to End Hunger. The CROS Ministries 

are hosting this beer and wine tasting at the Old School Square 

Fieldhouse, so skip your normal hump-day happy hour restaurant 

and spend the money you otherwise would have just on 

yourself, and help to benefit others in your community. Held on 

Wednesday, April 18 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., you’ll be privy to beer 

from Barrel of Monks, wine from Vintage Wine Estates, and food 

pairings from Banyon Restaurant and Bar, Culinary Flair Caterers, 

Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar, and 50 Ocean. CBS 

Sports Anchor, Jorge Andres, will be emceeing the event, and 

there will also be a live and silent auction at the event. Tickets 

are $40 in advance or $50 at the door, and all monies raised benefit 

CROS Ministries and those needing community members 

who the organization serves. The Old School Square Fieldhouse 

is located at 51 N. Swinton Ave. Please visit www.crosministries.

most celebrated family; and the vulnerability 

of Ted Kennedy, the youngest son, in the 

shadow of his family legacy. 

A Quiet Place is the modern horror 

thriller of a family of four who must navigate 

their lives in silence after mysterious 

creatures that hunt by sound threaten 

their survival. If they hear you, they hunt 

you. From director John Krasinski, who 

also stars in this, Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe 

and Millicent Simmonds (who you may 

recognize as the deaf actress from Wonderstruck.) 


with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, 

silverback gorilla who has been 

in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic 

experiment gone awry mutates this 

gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous 

size. To make matters worse, it’s 

soon discovered there are other similarly 

altered animals. As these newly created 

alpha predators tear across North America, 

destroying everything in their path, 

Okoye teams with a discredited genetic 

engineer to secure an antidote, fighting 

his way through an ever-changing battlefield, 

not only to halt a global catastrophe 

but to save the fearsome creature that 

was once his friend. Also stars Jeffrey 

Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman, Joe Manganiello, 

& Naomie Harris, 


Blockers When three parents stumble 

upon their daughters’ pact to lose their 

virginity at prom, they launch a covert onenight 

operation to stop the teens from sealing 

the deal. Leslie Mann (The Other Woman), 

Ike Barinholtz (Suicide Squad) and 

John Cena (Trainwreck) star in Blockers,

events surrounding the tragic drowning of a

Not only did this event take the life of an

Lucy Hale and Tyler Posey star in this,

Super Troopers 2 This stoner comedy 

sequel picks up where the first film (released 

back in 2001) left off and follows the 

Super Troopers who are tasked with establishing 

a Highway Patrol station in a border 

area between the US and Canada. Pretty 

much everyone is back: Jay Chandrasekhar, 

Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, 

Erik Stolhanske, Brian Cox, Lynda Carter, 

and Marisa Coughlan. The newcomers this 

time include Emmanuelle Chriqui, Rob 

Lowe, Tyler Labine, Will Sasso, and Hayes 

MacArthur. As expected, this looks totally 

nuts and ridiculous, but still hilarious. 

I Feel Pretty Even though her appearance 

hasn’t changed AT ALL – Renee’s 

(Amy Schumer) new belief in herself sees

her climbing the ranks at the cosmetics 

company she works for, getting the respect 

of her impossibly beautiful boss, bagging a 

cute boyfriend and getting invited to rooftop 

parties. With her new confidence comes 

overconfidence, and even the tendency to 

treat the ‘less genetically fortunate’ in the 

same dismissive way that people used to 

treat her. Eventually Renee believes the 

spell has been lifted – and finally realizes 

that when she thought she was ugly, she may 

have been the most beautiful, and when she 

believed she was beautiful, she had started 

to turn a bit ugly. She learns that true beauty 

is not skin deep. I Feel Pretty is both written 

and directed by filmmakers Abby Kohn and 

Marc Silverstein. 

Traffik is an action packed thriller, 

Brea (Paula Patton) and John (Omar Epps) 

are off for a romantic weekend in the 

mountains. Isolated at a remote estate, the 

couple is surprised by the arrival of two

(Roselyn Sanchez). Just when the weekend 

starts to get back on track, a violent 

biker gang turns up and begins to torment 

them. The foursome are forced to fight for 

their lives against the gang who will stop 

at nothing to protect their secrets.

a newborn, who is gifted a night nanny by

with the thoughtful, surprising and sometimes 

challenging young nanny named Tully 

(Mackenzie Davis). Tully is directed by Canadian 

filmmaker Jason Reitman,

Why Kill The 

Innocent 

By C. S. Harris 

Released April 3 

brutal murder draws nobleman Sebastian 

St. Cyr into the tangled web of the 

A 

British royal court in this gripping historical 

mystery from the national bestselling 

author of Where the Dead Lie. 

London, 1814. As a cruel winter holds 

the city in its icy grip, the bloody body of 

a beautiful young musician is found halfburied 

in a snowdrift. Jane Ambrose’s ties 

to Princess Charlotte, the only child of the 

Prince Regent and heir presumptive to 

the throne, panic the palace, which moves 

quickly to shut down any investigation 

into the death of the talented pianist. But 

Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, and his 

wife Hero refuse to allow Jane’s murderer 

to escape justice. 

Untangling the secrets of Jane’s world 

leads Sebastian into a maze of dangerous 

treachery where each player has his or her 

own unsavory agenda and no one can be 

trusted. As the Thames freezes over and 

the people of London pour onto the ice for 

a Frost Fair, Sebastian and Hero find their 

investigation circling back to the palace 

and building to a chilling crescendo of deceit 

and death. 

Twenty-one Days - A 

Daniel Pitt Novel 

By Anne Perry 


New York Times bestselling author 

Anne Perry enters the Edwardian 

era, and inaugurates an all-new series, as 

Thomas and Charlotte Pitt’s son carries 

on his family’s distinguished mysterysolving 

tradition. 

1910: Twenty-five-year-old Daniel Pitt 

is a junior barrister in London and eager to 

prove himself, independent of his renowned 

detective father’s influence. And the new 

case before him will be the test. When his 

client, arrogant biographer Russell Graves, 

is found guilty of murdering his wife, Daniel 

is dispatched by his superior to find the real 

killer before Graves faces the hangman’s 

noose—in only twenty-one days. 


Could the violent death have anything 

to do with Graves’s profession? Someone 

in power may be framing the biographer 

to keep damaging secrets from coming to 

light. It is a theory that leads Daniel’s investigation 

unexpectedly to London’s Special 

Branch—and disturbingly, to one of his father’s 

closest colleagues. 

Caught between duty to the law and a 

fierce desire to protect his family, Daniel 

must call on his keen intellect—and trust 

his natural instincts—to find the truth in a 

tangle of dark deception. Lest an innocent 

man swing for another’s heinous crime.

The thrilling romance of young Alexander 

Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler continues

bestselling Alex & Eliza: A Love Story. 

Albany, New York. 1781. 

As the war for American independence 

rages on, Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth 

Schuyler begin their new life as a 

married couple. Still, Alex is as determined 

as ever to prove his mettle and secure his 

legacy...even if that means leaving his beloved 

Eliza behind to join the front lines at

unexpectedly arrives on Eliza’s doorstep, 

she must fight for a better future—for their 

fledgling country and for her marriage. 

Yet even after the Revolution comes to 

its historic close, Alex and Eliza’s happilyever-after 

is threatened. Eliza struggles 

to build a home in the hustle and bustle 

of New York City just as Alex’s burgeoning 

law practice brings him up against his 

greatest rival—the ambitious young lawyer 

Aaron Burr. And with Alex’s star on the 

rise, Eliza can’t help but feel neglected by a 

husband who seems to have time for everyone 

but her. Torn apart by new trials and 

temptations, can Alex and Eliza’s epic love 

survive life in the big city? 

The battles are just beginning in the 

sumptuous sequel to Melissa de la Cruz’s

have three confessions to make: 

I 1. I’ve got the scar of a gunshot on my 

forehead. 

2. I don’t remember an entire year of my 

life. 

3. My name is Kellen Adams…and that’s 

half a lie. 

Girl running…from a year she can’t remember, 

from a husband she prays is dead, 

from homelessness and fear. Tough, capable 

Kellen Adams takes a job as assistant 

manager of a remote vacation resort on the 

North Pacific Coast. There, amid the towering 

storms and the lashing waves, she hopes 

to find sanctuary. But when she discovers 

a woman’s dead and mutilated body, she’s 

soon trying to keep her own secrets while 

investigating first one murder…then another. 

Now every guest and employee is a suspect. 

Every friendly face a mask. Every kind 

word a lie. Kellen’s driven to defend her 

job, her friends and the place she’s come to 

call home. Yet she wonders—with the scar 

of a gunshot on her forehead and amnesia 

that leaves her unsure of her own past, 

could the killer be staring her in the face?

health & beauty | pain relief 

By dr. john conde 

How To Fix That 

“Pain In The Neck” 

Neck pain can be, well, a “pain in the neck.” It is estimated that 

10% of Americans (that’s 30,500,496 people!) are currently 

suffering from neck pain. The traditional treatment prescribed 

by physicians utilizing pain relievers, muscle relaxants, rest, 

and possible soft collar application is no longer the acceptable 

standard of care as this regimen only produces symptomatic relief. 

According to a landmark report furnished by the Task Force 

on Neck Pain and its Associated Disorders (which can be 

found in the peer reviewed medical journal Spine), some of 

the most effective treatments for neck pain include manipulation, 

mobilization, massage, and exercise. In addition, cutting-edge research 

is exposing the benefits of brain-based therapeutic exercises 

for the relief and prevention of neck pain due to the brain’s intimate 

control of neck muscles. 

The neck is the most dynamic part of the spine. Its main functions 

are to protect the spinal cord, provide the foundation for the 

skull, and act as a bridge connecting the skull with the rest of the 

body. However, it has to be flexible enough to allow movement 

in six different planes. This makes the neck the most 

vulnerable region of the spine to injury. It is lined with a 

high concentration of compression sensitive sensors 

(joint mechanoreceptors), which when triggered provide 

a high powered stimulation to the brain which 

is essential for its health. The small muscles which 

surround the neck play a large role in the overall 

health of the neck. Reflexes generated in these 

muscles in response to stretch relay through a certain 

part of the brain termed the cerebellum which 

then fire back to keep these same muscles strong. 

As a result, brain-based therapies geared towards 

the cerebellum produce amazing results concerning 

the overall stability of the neck. 

The most common neck complaints 

involve three distinct 

structures: the disc, 

the posterior joints 

of the spine also 

known as the 

facet joints, and 

the soft tissue regions 

including the 

ligaments and tendons surrounding the spine. Injury to the discs 

which are found between the vertebrae and act as shock absorbers 

will produce moderate to severe neck pain with associated pain 

into the arm and hand. The pain may be relieved momentarily with 

elevation of the affected arm over the head. Facet joint injuries will 

also manifest as neck and arm pain but may start without an offensive 

behavior like a trauma and will typically produce pain down 

the outer arm into the hand. Lastly, soft tissue injury will normally 

produce localized pain with severe restriction of movement. Nausea 

and headache may accompany the pain. This is commonly 

found after motor vehicle accidents. 

Many new, advanced therapies are combining physical 

medicine such as mobilization exercises, stretch/ 

strengthening exercises, myofascial release, traction, 

decompression, and nutrition with brain-based 

exercises targeting the cerebellum region of the 

brain. This approach not only focuses on the 

neck structures themselves but also the regions 

of the brain that control the deep intrinsic 

muscles of the neck producing greater 

stability. Stop hurting and start living.

Rethink Your Ink 

Tattoos have a very eclectic heritage. “Ta” has a Polynesian derivation 

and means to strike something; “Tatau” is Tahitian and means to mark. 

The tattoo has been used as an expression of art since 3000BC and is 

wildly popular today among people of all ages and both sexes. 

It is a distinctive and very 

personal form of artistry, 

often memorializing a 

loved one, or giving pictorial 

credence to a particular passion. 

Sometimes it can be used 

to hide an imperfection with 

something more aesthetically 

pleasing to the eye. 

There is a very interesting 

dichotomy between the decision 

to tattoo the body and the 

decision to remove that tattoo. 

Unlike other art forms, the 

canvas for a tattoo is human 

skin, something that physically 

changes over time. More 

importantly, humans tend to 

reprioritize the things that 

are most important to them, 

making that once coveted tattoo 

totally irrelevant or even 

annoying. Statistics indicate 

that 40% of US residents have 

at least one tattoo and at least 

50% would elect to remove it within a period of ten years. It can 

be a failed relationship, or a flowering job opportunity. It can also 

be a tattoo distortion resulting from pregnancy, weight change 

or simply aging. Now, finally, there are solutions to remove unwanted 

tattoos safely and with relatively no pain. 

Innovative tattoo lasers can now target all colors of ink particles 

and break them down into particles small enough to be 

naturally absorbed and processed by the body’s immune system. 

Approximately 95% of the tattoo ink can be eliminated internally 

through the body; the remaining 5% is processed outward 

through blistering, scabbing or skin cell turnover following the 

laser treatments. 

It takes several weeks for the body to naturally process and 

eliminate the ink particles. Larger tattoos may require several of 

these treatments, but dermatologists will provide local anesthesia 

to make patients comfortable during the treatment sessions. 

Partial tattoo removal is also possible and frequently used to 

diminish color or alter the skin to accept a completely new design. 

The skin can be protected from oversaturation of ink while still allowing 

the individual and tattoo artist freedom to create a more 

pleasing and timely artistic expression. 

If you are rethinking your ink, there are finally safe, comfortable 

options. Every tattoo is different, so the depth of color, size, 

and the tattoo’s age will affect the amount of energy used to remove 

it, taking care to minimize any scarring. Most dermatologists 

who offer this technology will provide a complimentary consultation. 

It is important to define the scope of the laser and to 

ensure it can remove every color of ink on every color of skin.

health & beauty | Your Dental Health 

By craig spodak, dmd, pa 

Five Health Conditions 

Your Dentist Can Spot 

Your oral health offers 

important clues to 

your overall health. 

You expect your dentist to be able to spot cavities, inflammation 

and more, but did you ever consider that he/she might 

also be able to notice some more serious health issues? The 

state of your smile may offer insight on the rest of your body and 

possible health-threatening conditions, sometimes even before 

other symptoms show up. 

Diabetes 

Most people focus on the whiteness of their teeth to judge how 

healthy their smile is, but your gums also play an important role 

in determining oral health. In a 2014 study, nearly two-thirds of 

dentists said they’d refer a patient with periodontitis (inflammation 

around the gums) for a diabetes evaluation. The reason being 

that high blood sugar may be as damaging to your oral health as 

the sweet sugars in a can of soda. That’s because the condition can 

cause dry mouth, which increases plaque build-up, making people 

with uncontrolled diabetes more prone to dental problems. 

Heart Disease 

Because the mouth is a passageway to the body, people who have 

chronic gum disease are at the highest risk for having a heart attack, 

according to the Academy of General Dentistry. Gum disease (called 

gingivitis in its early stages and periodontal disease in the late stages) 

is caused by plaque buildup. Some researchers have suggested 

that gum disease may contribute to heart disease because bacteria 

from infected gums can increase clot formations, which elevate 

blood pressure and increase the risk of a heart attack. Signs include 

loose, shifting or missing teeth, and increased probing depths, 

where the pockets around the teeth have deepened. 

Dementia 

Is tooth loss linked to memory loss? In recent British research, 

a lack of teeth was associated with mental decline, while a 2012 

study found that older adults with poor dental hygiene were 76 

percent more likely to develop dementia. The research is relatively 

new so the link between the two isn’t perfectly clear. However, a 

small 2013 study detected Porphyromonas gingivalis (a bacteria 

associated with gum disease) in the brains of people with dementia, 

suggesting that it may play a role in the inflammation associated 

with cognitive decline. 

Osteoporosis 

Osteoporosis won’t cause your teeth to decay, but your dentist 

may be able to spot bone loss in the surrounding bones like the jaw. 

Normal, healthy bone should be dense at the edges and the interior, 

but when that’s not the case, the patient is likely to have osteoporosis. 

A 2013 study in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences 

found that the thickness of postmenopausal women’s jawbones 

was correlated with the bone density of their spine. This means 

that dentists could potentially diagnose osteoporosis in the early 

stages, which often goes undetected until a fracture occurs. 

Acid Reflux Disease 

You may feel heartburn most intensely in your chest, but the effects 

may be more obvious in your mouth. If you have acid reflux 

disease, the constant uprising of stomach acid could wear away 

at the enamel on your teeth and literally erode your teeth, making 

them appear thinner. In a 2008 study review, researchers found 

that almost 30 percent of adults with dental erosion also had a gastrointestinal 

esophageal reflux disease, or GERD. It is important to 

note that erosion can happen even without chest pain, so you may 

have reflux without even knowing it, making your dentist’s diagnosis 

very important. 

Bottom line: Your dentist is here to help. Make your dental 

health a priority and pay attention to your body. Even if you brush 

and floss regularly, it is important to get your dentist’s professional 

opinion so you can stay on top of your overall health and make it 

the best it can be.

Train Your Mind, 

Transform Your Body 

When it comes to fitness, training the mind is now considered every bit 

as important as training the body. It’s continually proven that a strong, 

trained mind makes it easier to get and stay fit and achieve your goals. 

After being in the fitness industry for over 15 years this is one 

of the biggest obstacles that I see. If your head is not in the 

game and your mind isn’t trained, it will eventually show in 

your results. Here are 4 tips to keep your mind game strong and 

fitness goals on track. 

1. Visualize The Goal 

The body won’t go where the mind has not gone first! Having a 

clear vision of exactly how you want to look and feel when you reach 

your fitness goals is key. Visualize fitting in to your favorite skinny 

jeans or crossing the finish line of your first marathon. Some of the 

most successful people from all walks of life commonly use visualization 

as a way to rehearse an event or sporting activity before actually 

going through it. Using visualization they are able to anticipate things 

that may go wrong or areas that may be difficult and see themselves 

getting through them. Excellent speakers mentally practice their 

speech, golfers visualize the perfect swing, basketball players 

the perfect shot, baseball pitchers the perfect throw, etc. Whatever 

it may be visualization will help make your goal a reality. 

2. Develop Self Awareness 

Use self awareness to help you make yourself the center 

of everything that happens to you. Realize that 

your results are the outcome of YOUR actions. Know 

your strengths and know your weaknesses. Becoming 

aware of your habits - good or bad - will allow 

you to catch yourself in action. Be aware of your 

trends and “tends.” Yes, I think I made that word 

up! For example, when I miss 3 days in a row of 

working out believe it or not I “tend” to start to 

get lazy and miss more workouts. So I try to not 

let that happen - even if it means only working out 

for 15 minutes. Something is better than nothing and 

it keeps my head in the game. I’m “aware” that I have 

to keep going otherwise my motivation starts to decline. 

Another example is that around 5 o’clock I “tend” to crave 

carbs and want to eat all of my kid’s snacks. My “trend” was 

to gorge myself with Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers while 

cooking dinner! Knowing your trends and being self aware is essential 

to being mentally strong. 

3. Take Responsibility 

Take responsibility for yourself and your success. Accept the 

consequences - good and bad - for your actions and reactions. 

The worst thing I encounter is clients blaming their lack of results 

on someone or something and never taking responsibility 

for their own actions. Taking responsibility for your actions will 

help you to realize that YOU are in total control and these behaviors 

can change. 

4. Be Patient 

To be mentally fit, view success as something you develop. 

Healthy habits do not happen overnight and the weight you put on 

over a year’s time will not come off in one month. People want instant 

results and that’s just not reality. 

Understand that you become what you do, if 

you do it enough. But it takes time! People 

are very quick to get frustrated and give 

up. As with anything, the more you practice 

something, the stronger and better 

you will become! Stay consistent and 

most of all be patient, the hard work will 

eventually pay off.

The Man Behind The Plan 

by Nicol jenkins | Photos by Melissa korman 

owner Daniel Cianciotto sitting on 1930’s NYC Battery Park Bench 

The moment you walk through 

the doors, you are transformed 

to another world - one of color, 

culture and art of all mediums. 

A 

sense of calm and warm energy greets guests as they walk 

through the rooms filled with unique artwork. From a painted 

1930s Battery Park bench to a steam punk fish hanging 

on one of the walls, a portrait of a lion created by pencil art to a 

bronze sculpture of a woman, or even a live radio show, can be discovered 

at the Gallery. 

Recently celebrating its one-year anniversary, the Heart of Delray 

Gallery has been bringing one-of-a-kind art from mainly local 

artists to the City of Delray Beach. The premiere gallery offers 

11,000 square feet of contemporary modern art, abstract paintings 

and sculptures inside and in their courtyard complete with a water 

feature and a seating area to soak in the atmosphere. 

Many of the best artists in Delray Beach are displayed within 

the halls of the gallery. From the moment you enter you are given 

the red carpet treatment and invited to take a journey through the 

corridors. Each of the artists brings a unique element to the gallery. 

Walking through each room is like taking a transcendent trip 

through color, palate, style and expression. 

As you become inspired by the art, you can get immersed in the 

creative process while watching the artists create their masterpieces. 

The Gallery is home to 78 artists, mostly local, who hang their 

art or have a workspace. Some are talented seasoned award win- 


Art Radio Network Program 

steel yellow man sculpture 

ning artists and others are newcomers with much promise. 

The Gallery evolved into a working studio for these talented artists 

based in Delray Beach. When gallery owner Daniel Cianciotto 

bumped into the owner of the building, he was asked to take over 

the space, which was previously home to a luxury spa. An experienced 

art dealer for 18th and 19th century art, Daniel wanted 

to create an upscale gallery. At the time, another gallery that was 

home to many local artists was closing and they needed a new 

home for their artwork. 

“At the beginning, I thought ‘How could I fill up 11,000 square 

feet?’ but artists just kept coming in. Once the word got out and the 

artists started seeing the architecture of the building, the gallery 

grew. It really has art written all over it,” said Daniel, who has 9 

years in the art business and was also the inventor of a Tie Teacher. 

His father is an artist and a painter, and Daniel followed in his footsteps 

painting on antiques which are displayed in the Gallery. 

Being a new artist himself, the owner knows the hard work it 

takes to create just one piece of art. He has given many new artists 

a chance to display their new work. The artists can stay on a monthto-month 

basis and are asked to change their artwork every few 

months. The Gallery only takes 10 percent of the sale. 

“The Gallery is all about the arts and the artists. Art brings the 

community together, and there are a lot of artists that have not 

been able to show their work in a gallery. Here there is an opportunity 

for the unknown artist to sell and show their artwork,” said 

Daniel, adding, “I have an eye for picking out great art that my clients 

will like in their home or office.” 

The Gallery has more than just paintings and sculptures! Guests 

can enjoy live radio shows including: a music radio show, and Art 

Radio Network on every Tuesday which focuses on everything 

about art from the piece to interviewing the artists. The owner 

plans to incorporate musicians, a ballet show, fashion shows, sip 

and paint classes and local authors. The Gallery is also known as a 

unique space for events of all kinds from birthdays, charitable fundraisers, 

weddings and any special occasion! 

“The Heart of Delray Gallery is an experience for everyone and 

especially for people who love art. People come from all over the 

world and some live in Delray Beach and they all say the same thing 

- that they have never seen anything like it,” he said. “What sets us 

apart from other galleries is the variety and price range.” 

The owner plans to expand The Gallery by adding more varieties 

of art and an elite art social club at night for members only. 

“I love being around the arts, and I love creativity. The weirder 

the art, the better,” said Daniel, adding, “The Gallery is focused on 

art and the artists that create the work. I want the ambience of everything 

in The Gallery to be very enjoyable.” 

Anyone that steps foot in The Gallery will be amazed by the 

eclectic art. Stop in at The Heart of Delray Gallery and experience a 

world of art unlike any other!

Deuces Wild! 

Fun and Aces in the Sun at the 

26th Annual Delray Beach Open 

by Elizabeth Grace | photos by Hal Goldman, Fritz Moore/AVOS Studios, and Andrew Patron 

The brightest stars in the tennis world commanded center 

stage February 16-25 at the 26th annual Delray Beach Open. 

The only combined ATP World Tour and ATP Champions Tour 

event, the 10-day tournament attracted Grand Slam Champions 

and the game’s freshest talents to the iconic blue courts of the 

Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center in Delray Beach, Florida. 

The Delray Beach Open, which set a new tournament record 

with 65,997 sun-kissed spectators passing through its 

gates, kicked off with Team International winning the ATP 

Champions Tour match-up and a rousing birthday celebration for 

Hall of Famer and Team USA captain John McEnroe. This year’s 

eight-player event featured legends of the game in an American 

vs. International format. Team USA included former Delray Beach 

champions Mardy Fish, and Jan-Michael Gambill; and former 

US Davis Cup and Olympic coach Jay Berger. Team International 

featured former Australian Open finalist and world No. 7 Fernando 

Gonzalez; Guillermo Canas of Argentina; former US Open finalist 

and world No. 4 Greg Rusedski of Great Britain; and Boca Raton 

resident Jesse Levine of Canada. 

As the sport has grown exponentially in scope and popularity, 

Delray Beach Open coverage too has grown beyond the 35 million 

viewers on Tennis Channel in the U.S. to an international audience 

in more than 110 countries. Today the tournament lures the 

world’s top international players, big-name sponsors, and highrolling 

attendees. 

This year all eyes were riveted on the week-long ATP World Tour 

event, where the world’s top-ranked men’s singles and doubles 

teams duked it out under turquoise blue-drenched skies. 

The singles winner, 20-year-old “Next Gen” American star 

Frances Tiafoe, clinched his first ATP Tour title as his father Frances 

Sr. proudly watched from the stands. Tiafoe, the first wild-card 

recipient to win the title in the tournament’s 26-year history, had 

consecutive aces on the final two points for a 6-1, 6-4 victory over 

Peter Gojowczyk of Germany. 

Good friends and now co-champions, Jack Sock and Jackson 

Withrow narrowly defeated Nicholas Monroe and John-Patrick 

Smith, 4-6 6-4 10-8 to win their first ATP World Tour doubles title 

as a team. Sock also became the third player in Delray Beach Open 

history to win three titles (combined singles and doubles). 

Tiafoe, who would rocket up the ATP rankings chart following his 

win, had dispatched No. 2 seed and former US Open champion Juan 

Martin del Potro in the second round. Gojowczyk came into the 

final riding a streak of 14-straight wins over Americans—including 

Top 20 John Isner in the second round—and reached his third 

quarterfinal of the year and his second career final. 

Other notable Delray Beach performances came from three 

of 2017’s top “Next-Gen” players - Australian Open semifinalist 

Hyeon Chung, who reached the quarterfinals as the only seeded 


player; Taylor Fritz, who reached his second career ATP semifinal; 

and rising popular star Denis Shapovalov, who powered into the 

semifinals before losing to the hot Tiafoe. 

Four-time Delray Beach Open doubles champions and fan favorite 

Bryan Brothers conducted a pair of clinics for fans, played 

in the Bryan Bros band for VIPs, and entertained big crowds 

with their tennis. 

Before the competition hit the courts, the stars were out in 

South Florida: singles defending champion Sock beat Fritz in the 

tournament’s own “Beach Games” on Delray Beach, while Chung 

and Canadian teenage superstar Shapavolov squared off in pinball 

and air hockey games at the local Silverball Pinball Museum. 

Former world No. 4 Milos Raonic took a break from practice to take 

his first airboat ride at Sawgrass Recreation Park in the Everglades, 

jumping at the chance to hold a baby alligator following the ride. 

And another “Next Gener,” 21-year-old American Jared Donaldson, 

introduced himself to statewide fans with a USTA Florida Facebook 

Live interview in which he revealed his tennis goals, along with this 

gem: that he failed his driver’s license test. 

There was also non-stop glamour on the court sidelines, compliments 

of the Delray Beach Open’s VolleyGirls. Supermodel-esque 

athletes who put the “p” in pep, the high-energy Spandex-clad cheerleading 

squad are the only on-court entertainment on the ATP tour. 

When the glamorous crowds weren’t chanting for their favorite 

players, they could be spotted at one of the many chic social mixers, 

including the Chamber Bash, Box Holders’ Series Reception, Ladies 

Day Luncheons sponsored by Maison Givas, and the swanky, inviteonly 

Sponsors & Players Party hosted by VIP Caterers on opening 

night. The sold-out Legends Clinic, Bryan Brothers Clinic, and USTA 

Kidz Day were other fun-filled ways that fans were able to connect 

with the ATP stars. 

Great live music was always on tap between matches on the 

Alchemy Arts main stage. Hosted by Delray Beach promoter Ian 

Caven, guests were treated to stand-out performances by top 

South Florida artists Cohen Robinson, DJ Colle Rippe, Cosmos Deli, 

Graceroots, Hi-Fi Gemini, Javy, DJ Mike Louis, Milagro Teens, Paul 

Anthony, Rocket to Anywhere, Shannalee, Spider Cherry, and the 

Xuberance Band. 

Always a popular hotspot for fans and oenophiles, the Sky Suites 

and Sky Lounge provided the most luxurious viewing of the oncourt 

action. Add court side seating, plenty of chef-driven culinary 

and cocktail fare, experiential wine pairings, and sublime Florida 

weather, and there’s no wonder why the Delray Beach Open is the 

yellow gem of America’s Most Fun Small Town. 


Kate Rimkus 

Cape Cod Kate Will Find Your 

Perfect Home HERE And THERE 

(wherever “there” may be) 

By Nicol Jenkins 

Do you want a Private Island in Pleasant Bay near Chatham, 

Cape Cod, MA? Or a sprawling estate on Nantucket, only a 

boat ride away from Martha’s Vineyard? 

Whether you want a home on Cape Cod, a villa in Italy or 

a condo in Abu Dhabi, Realtor Kate Rimkus - known as 

“Cape Cod Kate” can help you! 

Due to the wonders of technology, Kate assists her clients in buying 

and selling on Cape Cod (a New England maritime and resort 

oriented peninsula) even when she is enjoying her winter 

home here in Delray Beach (she’s put millions under contract 

each of the last few years). Working for Robert 

Paul Properties, which is also in Boston, Cambridge, 

and the South Coast, Kate has also built strong relationships 

with agents serving those areas. The 

company is very team oriented and has been recognized 

as the Top Real Estate Brokerage in MA 

by Inc. and is a member (by invitation only) 

of “The Leading Real Estate Companies of the 

World.” What does that mean for someone 

looking to buy a new home? Kate will be happy 

to recommend to you, your family or to a friend an 

excellent Realtor anywhere in the world, including 

in Delray Beach and throughout Palm 

Beach County. She can also help any 

realtor who has a client looking to 

buy a property on Cape Cod. 

“I am very knowledgeable 

about the Cape. If someone 

wants a property on Cape 

Cod, I will work directly with 

the consumer or with their 

realtor, who can be 

assured I will treat 

their clients as if they 

were my own,” said 

Kate, adding, “But 

if I have a client 

who wants to buy a home in London, California 

or anywhere in the world, I can find an experienced 

agent to represent them. I can assist 

them in finding a new home in their 

dream destination.” 

Why not have the “best of both 

worlds” – Enjoy all the great treasures 

of Delray then continue 

your outdoor, physical lifestyle of 

golfing, fishing, sunbathing, biking 

and running without giving 

up great theater, restaurants, art 

galleries and nearby interesting 

places to visit (the islands of Martha’s 

Vineyard and Nantucket, Boston, 

NYC, the rest of New England), 

by staying on Cape Cod.

Kate Rimkus is grateful that she has been able to enjoy the 

‘similar lifestyle’ of Cape Cod and Delray Beach. 

Don’t wait and wish! As a Realtor with Robert Paul Properties, 

the leading luxury agency on Cape Cod, Kate can help you 

enjoy the “best of both worlds” too. With over 15 years of Real 

Estate experience – first honing her skills as a Project Manager 

with one of the world’s top brands – Kate’s professional 

yet friendly approach ensures her clients feel comfortable, 

educated and supported from the start of the process through 

closing and beyond. Investing across the Cape herself has given 

her a solid understanding of appreciation, cash flow and tax 

deferred exchanges. Kate enjoys the luxury of meeting unique 

and interesting people, traveling the U.S. or Europe, and here 

in the most splendidly unique places in the world – Cape Cod 

and Delray. Let Kate be your Cape Cod/South Florida/Around 

the World Connection. 

With the Cape remaining a strong market, now is the time 

to buy! Imagine having a place to escape to when the weather 

gets hot and sticky. June through October are especially delightful 

on “the Cape.” Summer temperatures are typically in 

the high 70s and 80s. It seldom gets really hot on Cape Cod. 

In an average year, there’s just one day of 90-degree weather. 

During your stay, you may run into a celebrity or two, since the 

Cape is known to be a second home or popular vacation destination 

among athletes, actors, politicians and the elite. 

If June through October seems like too much of a paradise 

vacation, or too long to be away from home, you can always 

rent the time you are not there to visitors. Then, consider your 

time a “paid vacation”. There is always high demand for vacation 

rentals, and many properties rent by the week. 

“Cape Cod offers plenty of luxury properties and average 

price homes. There are 15 towns on the Cape and each one offers 

a different character and there is always something to do,” 

said Kate. “On Cape Cod, you don’t have to put your lifestyle on 

hold and hide indoors from the hot summer months. Delray 

Beach and Cape Cod really offer the best of both worlds!” 

Whether you are interested in buying, or renting on Cape 

Cod- or anywhere in the world for that matter - you too can 

have the best of both worlds. Now is the time to call Cape Cod 

Kate! She can find you a home or refer you to a top agent from 

South Florida to Cape Cod or from NYC to Europe and beyond!

THE DELRAY BEACH club 

Summer Fun At 

The Delray Beach Club 

By Diane Feen 

Summer in South Florida is a heat infused bastion of beauty. 

But to enjoy the simmering sunshine and wind tousled trees, 

it’s nice to have a place that enhances this South Florida experience. 

Photo by melissa korman 

Everyone who had spent a summer in the city knows the 

beach is the quintessential space of tranquility and calm. The 

air is cooler, the breeze is medicinal, and the morning sun is 

a portrait of respite. 

But as more people move to South Florida year-round they may 

wonder, “What will I do during the summer?” 

The answer is simple. Join a beach club that will nurture your 

soul, your body and your mind. 

The Delray Beach Club is just that place. It provides the perfect 

backdrop of natural beauty (on 3.5 acres of private oceanfront 

property) and has social and cerebral activities for everyone. 


Members get to enjoy the perks of a private beach with comfortable 

chaise lounges; large beach umbrellas, chilled cocktails and a 

friendly staff to meet your every whim. Beach attendants are available 

on weekends to assist with equipment (paddle boards and 

kayaks) and beach set-up. 

You also get to take part in Spectacular Parties for Festive occasions 

like Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day. On these celebratory 

holidays the Delray Beach Club comes alive with music, a fabulous 

buffet, dancing and friendship. 

“Through the fun events that the family committee plans we see our 

children making life long friendships. We also have family sand castle 

competitions and events like poolside bingo that creates friendship 

and camaraderie between the parents. We even have grandparents 

bringing their grandchildren to the club – it’s multi-generational,” 

said Kristen Migliano, Chair of the Family Social committee. 

Migliano is right. The camaraderie at the club is unique to Florida. 

It’s that feel good feeling you get when you’re with people who 

care about you. Some call it a second family, others bask in the 

friendliness and exciting roster of activities. 

“The fun never stops at the Delray Beach Club all summer. There 

are activities such as fashion shows, summer dance parties, bonfires 

under the stars and live entertainment,” said Social Committee 

Chair Louise Picarello. 

These spectacular summer events give everyone a friendly and 

familiar place to cement friendships and family. The serenity of a 

private 3.5-acre pristine beach (poolside activities) and themed 

dinners with live entertainment make life supremely joyful. 

The Summer Kick-Off begins with their Cinco De Mayo Party. 

There’s live music, tacos and tequila, cocktails and a food station. 

Their White Party matches colorful personalities with the lightness 

of being. There’s food stations, a DJ, music and dancing by the pool. 

Their summer Hoedown Party includes Country Music, Country 

Western Dancing (with dance lessons) and all the trappings 

of greatness. 

One thing that characterizes this private club is their musical 

adventures. They have an orchestra or DJ for most occasions and 

dancing to trip the night fantastic. These events are always a good 

time with fun a byproduct of just showing up. 

Dancing is not only one of the perks of joining a club like this 

for the summer, but it’s a way to keep yourself young and in shape 

physically, mentally and spiritually. 

They also have a full roster of activities for the cerebral and sports 

minded. There’s an oceanfront swimming pool, Har-Tru® tennis 

courts (and tennis lessons), a fitness center (with exercise and yoga 

classes) and beach activities such as paddle-boarding and kayaking. 

This summer the Delray Beach Club brings out the big guns for 

entertainment. “Our summer members get to take part in our elaborate 

holiday celebrations (overlooking the ocean) that are second 

to none. We offer family fun events and special evenings for singles 

and couples that are unique and exciting. We try our hardest to 

make everyone happy,” said General Manager Shane Peachey. 

Family Fun Days are one of their signature events. There’s a large Water 

Slide, DJ, Poolside Games, Snow Cone Machine and a Buffet. For the 

Adult Themed Parties they have a babysitting service for the little ones. 

Friday evenings are “Mix and Mingle” nights. There’s live music, 

Hors d’oeuvres and a free floating fantasyland of fun. Happy Hour is 

in the comfortable Grille Room, and dinner and dancing are at its zenith 

in the crown jewel of the Delray Beach Club – The Ocean Room. 

This summer there will be fun fueled evenings such as the Motown 

Night, Clam Bake, Dance Parties, Bonfire under the stars and 

fashion shows. There is also an afternoon soiree in September with 

the Spider Cherry Band. 

Another stellar summer activity – guaranteed to challenge your 

creative and competitive side - is their Memorial Day Carboard 

Boat Races. Supplies will be provided to make your own boat and 

kids will get to paddle across the pool in their boats. Adults and 

children are invited. 

The Delray Beach Club staff knows how to refine fun, luxury and 

excitement for guests. They have an amazing staff, special events, a 

fitness center, spa services, book and theater groups and the best 

view Mother Nature could conjure up. 

What else can you ask for this summer? Answer: Not Much.

Cigars, Friendship And Style 

By diane feen | Photos by melissa korman 

Smoke Inn Delray Beach is an island of its own. Though 

not floating around water, it’s inclusiveness and richness 

of spirit has captured the hearts of many. 

This Guy 

Christian mixing cocktails 

The reason has a lot to do with the cigars that are plentiful, 

the bar that has top shelf liquors and the friendships that are 

developed and refined. 

If you ask Larry Glass what he likes best about Smoke Inn 

Delray he’ll tell you. “I come here four to five times a week to 

smoke cigars and hang out. Everyone is like family to me here. 

They also have a vast selection of cigars and wine, and Football 

Sundays are the greatest here.” 

That’s what attracts many of the loyal fans to this Cigar Lounge 

in Delray Beach. The other thing is the camaraderie and shared 

passion for cigars, good vibes and friendliness. Some customers 

consider Smoke Inn Delray their home away from home. 

And that’s exactly what owner Vinny had in mind when he took 

over this historic Florida locale. “We increased our selection of 

Davidoff cigars and updated our humidor with LED lights around 

each shelf. We also make the best cappuccino in town. I make it 

like they do in Italy.” 

They also added Limited Edition Cigars from Arturo Fuente – the 

Opus X and Anejo. But that’s not all – their walk-in humidor has 

over 600 brands of cigars to choose from. There’s Montecristo, Romeo 

y Juileta, Tatuaje, Perdomo, Davidoff, Padron, Ashton, Rocky 

Patel, Arturo Fuente and more. 

Wednesday night (from 8 to 10) is Trivia Night and winners get 

free prizes, drinks and cigars. The game has become so popular it’s 

played on the outdoor patio and inside the lounge. Friday nights 

Bob McDonald plays guitar and sings tunes for guests on their 

outdoor patio. Saturday nights are also musically inclined with 

guest musicians who entertain guests. 

Though cigar smoking tends to be more a masculine pursuit, 

the ladies are now included and celebrated. Every Saturday night 

is “Ladies Happy Hour” from 7 pm to 9 pm, when ladies get half 

price drinks. 

Sports also reign supreme at Smoke Inn Delray. If you look 

around you’ll see flat screen TVs everywhere. There are TVs at the 


Ashton Event 

Come see Abby 

Retro Bar, in the smoking room and outdoor on the patio. Sports 

lovers unite for these testosterone-fueled games that bring out the 

competitive spirit in everyone. 

“This is the ultimate neighborhood bar like you see on ‘Cheers.’ 

We have local people who come here and celebrities because they 

feel relaxed and safe,” said Vinny, who ships cigars daily to customers 

who live out of town. 

Just recently Vinny took a group of passionate cigar smokers 

to Nicaragua to experience the cigar legacy at the Perdomo 

factory. Mustafa went on the trip and couldn’t say enough good 

things about the adventure. “It looks easy to make cigars, but it is 

eye-opening to really see how it is done from seed to cigar. They 

showed us the entire process, so much work goes into making a 

cigar. It was an amazing trip.” 

Cigars are a big part of the allure of Smoke Inn Delray, but so 

is the bar. If you’re looking for the perfect drink to match your 

smoking preference they have a full selection of wines, liquor and 

beer. They serve Cigar City Jai Lai and Cigar City Maduro as well as 

Michelob Ultra, Presidente, Presidente light, Sea Cow Milk Stout 

and others. They also have premium scotch, bourbon, cognac, 

Rye whiskey, Basil Hayden’s Whisky, Whistle Pig, Widow Jane and 

Angel’s Envy whiskey. 

Just recently Scott Mulans was enjoying a drink at the bar while 

conversing with friends. The ad agency executive finds the camaraderie 

and conversing exactly what makes Smoke Inn Delray 

such a perfect place. “When I go to Smoke Inn I feel like I’m in my 

own living room. Everyone is down-to-earth, and no one is above 

anyone else. We laugh a lot and it has a great local feel here.” 

The other half of the team that keeps Smoke Inn running 

smoothly is Manny Badillo. Manny has a way of melding into the 

vibe set forth at Smoke Inn Delray and brings another layer of 

friendliness to the lounge. 

“We are like family to each other and the family atmosphere 

spills over to our customers. Everyone who comes here is appreciated 

and considered part of our family. This is a very relaxed atmosphere 

and people feel so comfortable it’s like their second home.” 

Richie Sharp feels the same way. The retired police officer from 

New York smokes Perdomo Cigars and stops by Smoke Inn Delray 

when he’s in the neighborhood. “I come here to sit with my boys 

and have a drink and smoke cigars. This is a great place with great 

people and a great owner,” said Sharp, who is affectionately called 

Lamb Chop. 

If you’re looking for a place to have a party or special event 

Smoke Inn Delray can accommodate you. They recently had a birthday 

party for 30 people who brought in meat that was roasted outside. 

“We have birthday parties, bachelor parties and will rent it out 

for corporate events as well,” said Vinny. 

Happy Hour is alive and well at Smoke Inn Delray. From 5 to 7 pm 

cocktails are half price; including top shelf liquor. 

Smoke Inn Delray has become a place where laughter is in abundance 

and fine cigars are a given. Vinnie and Manny welcome you 

to join their extended cigar lounge family.

THE MAE GALLERY 

The Fashion Of Art 

By Diane Feen 

To the owners of the mAe Gallery, 

Jim Blumenfeld and Susan 

Romaine, all the world is a canvas. 

They know that art is an expression of the world at large - in colors 

or monochromatic shades - that mirror the tempo of society. 

They also understand that art is a powerful way to soothe the 

soul and uplift the spirit. 

That is the reason they opened The mAe Gallery in Pineapple Grove. 

Blumenfeld and Romaine are astute art collectors and curators, and Romaine 

is a gifted artist as well. 

The mAe Gallery is small in structure but mighty in form. They have 

emerging and mid-career artists whose work ranges from oil and acrylic 

paintings in all sizes, sculptures in varying mediums, glass work, mixmedia, 

ceramic and now fashion. 

The scope of art at the mAe Gallery is eclectic and vibrant. It also 

mirrors the passion of its owners. “When we opened the Gallery, we 

wanted to bring a diverse collection of contemporary artists to Delray. 

Occasionally we like to put them together, so they can inspire each other,” 

said Blumenfeld. 

This inspiration will be on full view from April 6, in conjunction with 

Delray Beach’s First Friday Art Walk, until April 29. Called “The Fashion 

of Art at the mAe Gallery,” the show will feature clothing designed by 

Alexandra Zofcin from the House of AmZ and paintings by Alexa Snyder. 

Both are bringing their art forms from different disciplines, yet both create 

a similar figure. Snyder’s is on canvas (as paintings) and Alexandra’s 

The mAe Gallery’s April Featured Artist Alexa Snyder’s 

Graceful Rising 36”x36” (top half of diptych) Acrylic on Canvas 

The Owners of The mAe Gallery Jim Blumenfeld and Susan Romaine 

in front of featured artist Alexa Snyder’s Enchante 

is fashionable artwear for the body. Both women are bold and colorful 

with the feminine form as a template for their creative outlets. And both 

women will be showing their work at the mAe Gallery starting April 6. 

This collaboration of different mediums with similar themes is exactly 

what Blumenfeld and Romaine had in mind as the evolution of 

their gallery continues. “The fine Art of living with Art is our way of 

presenting a diverse collection of artists that is approachable and lends 

itself to the aesthetic of anyone who comes through our door.” 

Their mission is admirable and taking form at this moment. The collection 

of artists being shown (in different mediums) has grown since 

the mAe Gallery opened last year. They now represent 30 artists thus 

increasing the diversity of the art on display and for sale. 

The mAe is also introducing different themes (or artists) each month. 

If life is never static – then art should not be either. And the mAe knows 

this to be true. That is why they had an opening last November to showcase 

fine Irish artists from Stoney Road Press. The prints still remain at 

the Gallery and can be purchased directly from the mAe. 

The tide will turn again in another creative direction on May 4 when 

contemporary artist Carmon Colangelo’s work will be shown. Colangelo 

is Dean of Art and Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis 

and is a celebrated artist whose work has been shown in 150 group 

exhibitions worldwide. He combines digital and traditional processes 

to create large colorful mixed-media prints that explore the human experience 

and contemporary condition. 

Art will become life once again in real time in mid-April and continue 

till mid-May. Canadian artist Amelie Grooscors will be the artist in residence 

at the mAe during that time. Grooscors will be painting inside 

and outside the gallery creating abstract landscapes “meant to evoke 


The mAe Gallery’s April Featured Fashion Designer Alexandra 

zOfcin’s (The House of AmZ) Seta Skirt - Lover’s Red 

the quiet rundown splendor of things we foresee or never bother 

to look at differently.” 

The mAe occupies an auspicious place in the art world in Delray 

Beach. The staff is warm and inviting and the gallery is approachable 

and comfortable. Guests get a chance to bask in the colors 

and forms that spring from the creative work of each artist. Yet 

you don’t have to feel pressure to buy. 

The best part about the mAe Gallery is that you are not just a 

number or a customer – you’re more special than that. “We are personable 

and make art fun and easy. It’s not just about the sale. We 

ask questions like, ‘is there space in your home or the proper lighting.’ 

We believe you don’t find art, it finds you,” said Blumenfeld. 

He’s right. Like falling in love - falling in love with art evokes 

the same emotional response. The mAe wants you to marinate in 

this lofty ethereal experience, and not be intimidated by its parameters. 

That is why the mAe team is bullish that one size does 

not fit all in the art world. 

Another new edition to the mAe mix is their Gallery Manager 

Taylor Morris. She brings experience from both the worlds of finance 

and retail. 

The mAe Gallery invites you to explore and exploit your visual 

appetite with their increasingly diverse group of artists. The 

shows keep changing and the artwork reflects the movement of 

contemporary art at its core. But one thing is static – the easygoing 

manner of the management and their ability to make your 

day brighter, is always front and center at The mAe.

Gulf Stream School 

Where Students Feel At Home 

By Nicol Jenkins 

Walking through the hallways of 

Gulf Stream School, teachers 

greet students by name as they 

move throughout the corridors. 

The campus consists of recently renovated buildings surrounded 

by white columns that line breezeways connecting 

classrooms to one another, as well as courtyards, the athletic 

field, playground, gymnasium, and multifunctional outdoor spaces. 

Teachers and students can hear the ocean waves, smell the salt air, 

and watch pelicans fly by as they travel between classes and during 

recess daily. 

It is easy to understand why the school has been ranked as one of 

50 best private elementary schools in the U.S. by The Best Schools. 

The atmosphere at the school is more of an extended family providing 

a home away from home experience. Experienced staff members 

and administrators take the time to get to know each of the 

students and their families. 

The 5.2 acre campus is picturesque. The private school, serving 

pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, is a hidden gem in Gulf Stream 

located off A1A across from the beach, a short drive away from Atlantic 

Avenue. With beach access at our door step, students often 

go on faculty supervised outings to the ocean to read, journal, write 

creatively or study the effects of wind, erosion, and storm surge. 

The seashore offers numerous hands on teaching moments and inspires 

curricular creativity. 

Entering its 80th year, Gulf Stream School continues its mission 

of empowering students to succeed, inspiring intellectual curiosity, 

and celebrating both effort and accomplishment. The school is 

distinguished by a sense of family, small size, and respect for its 

heritage. At the core of the school’s values are academic rigor, character, 

and participation. 

Small classroom sizes provide more one-on-one attention from 

the teacher and enhanced learning for the student. “There are two 

sections of every grade level with approximately 15 students in a 

classroom. This helps teachers to get to know their students as well 

as meet their needs and foster their potential,” said Michael Mahady, 

who has been at the school for 24 years, first as a teacher and 

for the past three years as Director of Admission. 

A Gulf Stream School education prepares students to move confidently 

and successfully into some of the best college preparatory 

schools in the country. The program is structured, yet flexible, with 

an emphasis on skill development and practical life skills. English, 

mathematics, social studies, science, foreign language, computer, 

art, music, and physical education are required subjects. As 





preparation for long-term, purposeful involvement in the local and 

global communities, each class undertakes at least one community 

service project and many of the students participate in regular 

beach clean-ups and volunteer their time to a variety of organizations 

outside of school. 

The staff focuses on a well-rounded education incorporating 

hands-on learning, advanced technology, and participation in 

athletics. Core curriculum classes include an emphasis on public 

speaking as well as cross-disciplinary collaboration by teachers. 

Latin is a required course in grades five and six. Robotics, 3D printing 

and design, music, and theater round out curriculum encouraging 

every student to push beyond his/her comfort zone, acquire 

new skill sets, and understand the importance of lifelong learning. 

Student effort and accomplishment are celebrated instilling confidence 

and promoting joy in learning. 

“Every decision we make at the school is made in the best interest 

of the students. The school is about the students, and we have 

maintained a longstanding, successful, personalized culture. Most 

of the decisions are made utilizing the talents of everyone involved 

including the teachers, administration, parents and even students,” 

said Joseph Zaluski, Head of School. “We develop character, social 

awareness and skills that go beyond academics. Not every student 

who applies can afford the education provided; we offer a substantial 

financial assistance budget.” 

Casey Wilson, Director of Development, has worked at the school 

for 16 years and was a former student. He says the administration 

provides a support system for the entire school community. 

“Gulf Stream School is truly a family school,” said Wilson. 

“Some members of the faculty are exceeding 30 years of teaching 

here. The school encourages and cultivates an environment 

where colleagues get along with one another, work collaboratively, 

and frequently engage in meaningful dialogue related to 

their academic subjects and profession. This cooperative faculty 

synergy fosters an outstanding learning environment for our 

students. There are also opportunities for parental involvement. 

We have an active Parents’ Auxiliary that sponsors major events 

to raise funds for needs on our campus. With the help of parent, 

student, faculty, and alumni volunteers we built an amazing 

playground for our students.” 

Athletics is an extension of the Gulf Stream School academic 

program. Students enjoy the competition, physical exercise, and 

socialization of sports. Gulf Stream continues to believe in the 

value of participation in team sports, and students in Grades Five 

through Eight participate in the Middle School sports program. 

Boys participate in flag football, soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. 

Girls participate in volleyball, basketball, soccer, and lacrosse. In 

addition, boys and girls have the opportunity to play tennis and/ 

or golf during the final weeks of the school year. Physical conditioning 

is built into daily practices. 

The students at Gulf Stream School have excelled in academics, 

the arts, and athletics. There have been many student accolades 

such as recipients of academic high school merit scholarships, 

Duke TIP recognition, and All State Choir and Orff Ensemble. 

“Students, teachers, and administrators are supported by an 

abundance of resources,” said Wilson. There are also many support 

programs and resources for students and families. Gulf 

Stream School offers after school and summer programs, student 

counseling, and academic support. 

The Gulf Stream School strategic plan helps guide the school to 

focus on the future while always valuing its heritage. 

Enroll your child at one of the best schools for a dynamic, wellrounded 

education in an atmosphere where learning will become 

a joyful lifelong practice. Gulf Stream School is scheduling tours 

for the upcoming school year for Pre-K3 to 8th Grade.

Happiness Now: 

Create the Life You Want 

Learn to be Happy? 

Want more happiness? Want less days when everything seems 

like it’s going the other way? It’s possible, with practice, to live 

more frequently with a stronger, more resilient attitude. It just 

takes some practice and getting used to. There are no “secrets” to 

happiness. Just learning how to treat your mind on a regular basis 

and developing an attitude of resilience and optimism. Every normal 

life is a mix of sadness and joy, opportunity mixed with difficulty. 

Exercising a little thought control can help. 

Many Paths 

Happiness and optimism have garnered millions of words for 

millenia. We could write about it endlessly. I’m interested in illuminating 

a few basic ideas to help you be more “up” and less “down”. 

A Learned Skill 

University of Pennsylvania professor and author Dr. Martin 

Seligman, in his excellent book Learned Optimism, describes three 

important ideas in keeping our minds pointed in the direction of 

happiness. Upon encountering adversity it’s important to practice 

reminding ourselves of the “Three P’s”. Let’s say you discover a flat 

tire...... Remember: 

It’s not Personal. The universe is not out to get you. 

It’s not Pervasive. It’s just a problem. It doesn’t mean your whole 

life stinks. 

It’s not Permanent. This event is temporary, like everything else, 

and will pass. 

Seligman’s research has proven that these “thought habits” 

correlate with improved attitude, translating into higher income, 

greater marital success, increased job satisfaction and a host of 

other indicators of success. 

Learn to Reframe 

These skills lie beneath a practice of taking an optimistic point 

of view. Our lived experience is determined not by what happens 

out there, but by our interpretation of those events in our minds. 

We create the life that is ours. Someone cut you off in traffic? Notice 

your “self-talk”. Get angry? Want to punish that person? Our 

instincts for self preservation and self promotion run deep. Try 

shifting your interpretations for a day. Try admitting the possibility 

that the person cutting you off is in a hurry to reach the hospital. 

Someone steal your bike? A poor person might just need it 

more than you. Running out of cash? Try reminding yourself that 

the market rewards value, and that this might be an opportunity 

to re-evaluate your skills, your job and contributions. 

Above all, Connect 

Research shows that optimistic people are more welcome into a 

group. Dale Carnegie, in his book How to Win Friends and Influence 

People said “don’t criticize, condemn or complain”. It is our connection 

to others, after all that makes life rich and rewarding and 

happy. It just takes practice.

It’s all about 

Delray Beach. 

A town I love 

that’s part of 

my DNA. 

Laura Simon 


egulars | city people 

by diane feen | photo by melissa korman 

Kindling The Fire Of Greatness For Delray 

Laura Simon’s roots run deep 

in Delray Beach. Her greatgrandparents 

came to Delray 

in 1912 and her grandparents 

followed in 1924. 

The entire Simon family is still closely aligned in proximity 

and relativity. They meet once a week in a nearby restaurant 

after church every Sunday and are a vital force in keeping 

Delray Beach the crown jewel that it is. 

Laura is part of this illustrious flame that burns brightly around 

her. But like most of the Simon clan - that quietly make a difference 

– Laura is unassumingly doing the same. 

Her professional title is Executive Director of Delray Beach 

Downtown Development Authority and her role is to grow and 

strengthen the downtown Delray business community. 

But when talking to Laura you have to chose your words wisely. 

The Simon trajcetory has always been one of modesty and humility 

and Laura keeps this tradition fiercly alive. “It takes a village to 

make this organzation run. It’s not about me, it’s a group of people 

who make it all happen. It’s the tireless work of my DDA team and 

the Board.” 

There are things that Laura will take credit for, and that includes 

her Bachelor of Science degree in Tourism Management 

from Clemson University and her 20-plus years of experience in 

the hospitality industry. She worked at Innisbrook Resort, PGA 

National (in convention and catering management) The Breakers 

and Office Depot (as a marketing specialist, event and meeting 

planner and business solutions). 

Being raised in a tourist town like Delray Beach left a lasting impression 

on this classy lady. Her thesis in college was “How Tourism 

Impacts Delray Beach,” and her role in the city is to make sure 

that downtown Delray continues to thrive and prosper. 

“Being born and raised in Delray Beach helps me relate to the 

people and tell the Delray story. I juggle a lot of different things as 

part of the job but keeping the goal in focus is important. it’s all 

about Delray Beach - a town I love that’s part of my DNA.” 

You can see why. The Simon family has been in Delray Beach 

for 106 years. Her great-grandfather was a friend of George 

Morikami and started businesses that enhanced life for locals 

and tourists. Her father Roy builds structures that still stand 

tall around town and her three uncles are all upstanding 

professionals in the community. 

Though the DDA has a small official footprint in Delray Beach 

(their office is on SE 4th Avenue) their reach is mighty. Their 

Core Values are enhancements, economic vitality, community, 

preservation and awareness of downtown Delray. 

To promote Delray, they create events like Delray Beach Fashion 

Week, Savor the Avenue, Restaurant Week, First Friday Art Walk 

and other exciting events. 

Though this is a government agency it’s legacy is closer to Laura’s 

heart than most people know. Her father Roy (an architect) 

started the DDA in 1971 to assist downtown businesses and property 

owners. Roy is another quiet force in town who looks after 

Delray as if it were a close relative. He is humble, like Laura, and 

continues to create buildings and structures that glorify its natural 

terrain. 

“My father taught me the idea of ‘Service before Self’ and he is 

still involved in the DDA. He has contributed millions of hours to 

the city. There are still shelves of notebooks from every meeting 

from the 70s and public records. Throughout the 106 years my 

family has lived and served in Delray Beach, I have learned that 

there needs to be a balance with the idea of change.” 

Her mother Beth, also a role model for Laura, was a teacher and 

volunteer in many activities in Delray Beach. “My mother taught 

me to never give up and to make lemonade out of lemons. She also 

told me to be true to who you are and always listen.” 

Laura’s ride is one part promoting Delray Beach and one-part 

family. She’s married to Sven Mautner, has a daughter Madison 

and is close to her two brothers, cousins and uncles. All are deeply 

respected and help promote and protect the integrity of the town 

their grandparents navigated before the streets were paved. 

Though it’s not easy for Laura to toot her own horn, others do 

it effortlessly. “Laura is an exceptional leader. Her management 

style cultivates creativity and she is always evaluating programs 

for improvement for the betterment of Delray Beach. Laura’s passion 

and love for Delray Beach is contagious and inspiring. She’s 

an exceptional listener, friend, mentor and muse and is giving and 

selfless. She is truly one-of-a-kind,” said Alexandra Farnsworth, 

Marketing Manager of Randall Farnsworth Auto Group. 

Though Laura doesn’t dwell on her accomplishments, there is 

one thing she is proud of - Delray Beach Fashion Week. “This is 

something I am responsible for starting. The merchants wanted to 

showcase the Fashion and Beauty businesses in Downtown Delray 

so five years ago we highlighted the caliber of fashion and beauty 

we have in downtown Delray.” 

The plan worked wonders. The 2017 Fashion Week won an 

Award of Excellence for Events and Program from the International 

Downtown Association and has become a highlight for fashionistas 

everywhere. 

The Savor the Avenue event has also blossomed tremendously 

under Laura’s watch. The event featured 16 restaurants and a dining 

table (in the middle of Atlantic Avenue) that is half a mile long. A 

portion of tickets sales (from their tenth anniversary) benefitted 

“Not One Homeless Hungry Student Delray Beach Initiative.” 

There is one thing that Laura learned from her mom that she 

holds near and dear to her heart – “Don’t lose sight of the big picture 

and most of all, enjoy the ride.” 

She does just that.

MUSSEL BEACH RESTAURANT 

Heavenly Food From The Sea 

The Truffle Fries, the Blood Orange 

Margarita, the Lobster Bisque 

Mussels…is there more to life? 

Blue Point Oysters 

Of course there is. But dining at Mussel Beach is as close to culinary 

heaven as one can get. Everything is homemade and 

flavored to please the most discerning palate. 

That might be one reason this Seafood restaurant with the laidback 

Sea Faring décor is always filled with customers clamoring for 

their fresh fish, delicious mussels, jumbo crab cakes, amazing tuna 

or shrimp tacos and more. 

Part of the fun – and flavor – begins with their Truffle Fries that 

come piping hot to your table compliments of the chef. While devouring 

these delicate yet hearty fries sprinkled with parmesan 

cheese, the contemplation begins. Are you in the mood for fresh 

Mussels imported from Prince Edward Island? 

If so you get to choose from Mussels drenched in a creamy Lobster 

Bisque, a spicy Fra Diavolo, Thai curry, Mariniere, Provencal, 

Florentine and six other exotic sauces. There are 12 different sauces 

that heighten the flavor of the mussels steeped in a large copper 

pot brought to your table. 

Iceberg Wedge skirt steak salad 


Clam Posillipo with Middle neck clams over linguine 

Apple wood smoke bacon wrapped Sea Scallops 

Though Mussel Beach was known as a seafood restaurant when 

it opened four years ago, they have extended their menu to include 

non-seafood dishes as well. But if you want to experience 

the freshest seafood in town it is wise to start with their signature 

pot of mussels. 

Their appetizers are also worthy of distinction. We highly recommend 

the Charred Octopus in a savory sauce with white beans, 

spinach, tomato, lemon, garlic, white wine and oregano. This combination 

of flavors and textures is truly divine. That’s because the 

chef is culinary institute trained and the kitchen staff and servers 

are attuned to excellence for your dining experience. 

The Charred Octopus is so terrific it was recently profiled on the 

PBS show “Check Please! South Florida.” The guests raved about 

this unique appetizer as well as the Lobster Grilled Cheese Panini 

and the fresh fish. Not only do the fish dishes taste like they swam 

to your table, but you get to choose from an endless array of toppings. 

There’s Pretzel Encrusted, Sweet Potato, Nut Encrusted, Ginger 

Garlic Glazed, Sweet BBQ Rubbed, Oscar and Lobster and Crab 

Crusted. All are wonderful and compliment the fish – that can be 

grilled, blackened or broiled. 

If Crab Cakes are something you fantasize about then you must 

try their Jumbo Lump Crab cakes with horseradish mustard and 

ginger soy slaw. According to Bostonian Richard Eaton, they are 

the best crab cakes he’s ever tasted. “I grew up eating crab cakes in 

Boston for over 40 years and these are by far the best I’ve tasted. 

They are moist and tender with so much crab and no fillers.” 

One of the most outstanding seafood dishes on the menu is 

their special Wild Alaskan Halibut. As someone who recognizes 

the fabulous in fish dishes in an instant, this one topped them all. 

The Halibut was pan seared with guava saffron buerre blanc sauce, 

goat cheese whipped potatoes and baby carrots with lime zest. 

The sauce was sweet, yet substantial and the fish was tender and 

tasty beyond compare. The goat cheese whipped potatoes were in a 

league of their own – so rich yet creamy and delicious. 

We also recommend their Shrimp Tacos marinated in a jalapeno 

aioli, mashed potatoes, onions, peppers and chorizo. Also terrific 

are the Skirt Steak Tacos with marinated skirt steak, mashed potatoes, 

cilantro, tomatoes topped with frizzled onions. 

There’s no secret that Mussel Beach has a strong following. It’s 

entrees like the Jumbo Shrimp stuffed with Lobster and Crab that 

have captivated the imagination of guests who frequent this familyowned 

and run restaurant. Mark Mezzancello started Mussel Beach 

with his wife Patty and now their daughters are involved as well. 

If there is a secret to their success it may lie in the heritage that 

underlines its performance. 

“Most of the recipes for sauces were handed down to me by my 

great grandmother. She owned a bed and breakfast and was an 

excellent cook,” said Mark. Both Mark and Patty are on hand most 

nights to make sure that the restaurant runs smoothly and keeps it 

star status. “Our fish is fresh every day and it is always grade A. We 

pay a little more for the fish but it’s worth it,” adds Mark. 

If you enjoy a cocktail with your dinner (or just want to sip your 

way to a heightened experience) try one of their special cocktails. 

The Blood Orange Margarita is superb with Corazon Tequila, Solerno 

Liqueur and fresh lime sour. The Melon Martini is also a favorite 

with Van Gogh Melon, Fresh Cantaloupe and lime sour. 

They also have 26 wines served by the glass – don’t miss the 

Sancerre, Joseph Loire, France or the Red Paring wine. They’re both 

excellent and served by the glass. 

If you have a sweet tooth you’re in luck. Mussel Beach has some 

wonderful desserts to end the evening. The Key Lime Pie hits the 

hot spot as does their homemade Coconut Cream Pie. If you want to 

slide into a sugar induced euphoria go for the fresh hot doughnuts 

served with whipped cream. 

There are so many wonderful items on the Mussel Beach menu 

it’s often hard to decide what to choose. They have pasta, burgers, 

salads, a raw bar, sandwiches and wonderful soups. 

For a memorable dining experience head over to Mussel 

Beach. The food is fresh, the quality superb and the preparation 

unique and savory. It’s no surprise that smiles abound everywhere 

you look.

INGREDIENTS 

1 Cut of Sashimi Grade Tuna 

1 tsp Togarashi 

1 Cup Jasmine Rice 

1 bunch fresh cilantro 

1 Fresh Lime

Togarashi 

Blackened 

Yellowfin Tuna 

with Blood Orange Salsa and Cilantro Rice 

Find the best possible tuna. I would suggest a Sashimi grade 

from a reliable vendor. Coat the outside with Japanese 7-spice 

Togarashi. (You can find at Asian markets or maybe Fresh 

Market.) Heat up a pan with blended oil and sear the tuna on 

each side very lightly so as to leave each side seared but the 

center rare. Slice as desired. 

Cook jasmine rice al dente and set to side to cool. Puree 

cilantro with a touch of water in a blender and set to side. Add 

both together in small saute pan with salt and lime juice. 

Use blood orange segments, papaya, poblano pepper and red 

pepper to make tropical fruit salsa. 

Gelee- Use blood orange juiced from remainders and soak a tsp 

of gelatin in there. Use a whisk to activate. Pour 1/2 cup hot 

vegetable stock into mixture and pour in molds to set in cooler.

misc | ask the petxpert 

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

Why Do Our Pets Have 

So Many Tummy Issues? 

I 

am old enough to remember that our pets rarely needed medical 

care on an ongoing basis. Diarrhea and vomiting were rare however 

when those symptoms occurred, they were treated as an 

event because they probably “got into something” they were not supposed 

to. You found the trash can spilled on your kitchen floor and all 

the chicken bones missing. We would fast them for a day, maybe give 

them some raw dairy to help cleanse. Sometimes we would even give 

broth with herbs to help settle the issue. 

So, what is causing our pets of today to have to deal with numerous 

gastrointestinal issues? And why are they becoming a chronic, 

long term issue? 

Processed pet foods are at the top of the list. What does your pet 

food contain and how is it processed? Does the ingredient list contain 

real species appropriate foods? Are those ingredients nutritious, 

easily digestible and bio-available? Is it a dry format such as kibble 

or freeze-dried? 

The digestive tract of our dogs and cats, carnivores, is different 

than humans. While some, specifically dogs, have adapted to some 

consume non-animal based foods to survive, it is far from optimal. 

Inappropriate foods force the body to produce different digestive 

agents often taxing the related organs. For instance, carnivores have 

little need to produce insulin when fed their meat-based diet however, 

that demand sky rockets when fed a carbohydrate based food. 

Dry foods, including kibble and freeze-dried or combinations of 

these; require the animal to drink far too much water to rehydrate 

their body. The rehydrating of the food inside the stomach and intestine 

causes that food to expand and creates excessive pressure on 

the digestive system muscles. The excessive drinking further dilutes 

the digestive agents causing slower digestion. The digestive tract of a 

carnivore is considerably shorter than ours and is designed to break 

down food very quickly. Slowing it down causes carbohydrates to 

ferment in the digestive tract which creates excessive gas. 

As a result, we have a digestive system that is being stressed with 

the wrong foods. To further complicate it, let’s throw in hundreds 

of synthetic, toxic chemicals such as preservatives, colors, stabilizers, 

flavors and others that the body needs to separate and filter 

out. Most of these are killing the good biome in the gut necessary to 

transform the food into bioavailable compounds and aid in digestion 

and absorption of nutrients. All these unnatural toxins also need to 

be neutralized and filtered out of the body. Again the digestive system 

is unnecessarily stressed by doing functions that far exceed the 

normal levels. 

We must realize that pets are assaulted by the same toxins and environmental 

stresses that we face and these toxins, including medications, 

vaccines and drugs will end up in the filtering and digestive 

system of the body. 

Step away from the slick marketing and view your pet as the 

unique creature that they are and give them the species appropriate 

natural form diet they deserve. While the package may show photos 

of real foods like chicken and meat, your eyes know that these are 

NOT the TRUE ingredients in that bag. Make the change and watch 

your pet thrive, not just survive!
