All People’s Day Diversity 

Festival March 19 at Delray 

Beach’s Pompey Park 

Event Celebrates All People, All Cultures, All Traditions 

With Art, Music, and Dance 

COPYRIGHTED 

For more than a decade, the All People’s Day Diversity Festival 

has brought people from all backgrounds to Delray 

Beach’s Pompey Park for a day of celebration that includes art, 

music, dance and outstanding activities for children and adults. 

This year, as the free indoor festival returns on Saturday, 

March 19 following an absence due to the COVID 19 pandemic, 

it arrives with an added importance. 

“We need All People’s Day today more than ever,” says Susan 

Berkowitz-Schwartz, the founder and president of All 

People’s Day (APD). “Because of the situation in the world 

right now, many people are against one another instead of being 

for each other.”

All People’s Day Founder Susan Berkowitz-Schwartz (in red) 

with representatives from many different cULTUres 

Bringing people together to share cultures has been the goal 

of the festival, which Berkowitz-Schwartz ran in New Jersey for 

35 years before bringing it to Delray Beach. 

“In order to make the world a better place, we have to find 

out about people who are different from us,” she said. “The 

13th Annual All People’s Day Diversity Festival will be a day 

of fun but it is also an opportunity to connect with people of 

diverse cultures. All People’s Day is really about learning from 

one another through the arts.” 

Presented by All People’s Day Inc., the Lake Worth Interfaith 

Network and the Delray Beach Parks and Recreation Department, 

the festival features free admission, free arts and crafts 

and even free food from several cultural restaurants.

The Delray Divas dance group will return to the All 

People’s Day Diversity FESTIVal at Pompey Park on March 19 

The main event runs from 11am to 3pm. It features as many as 

15 different local performing groups, among which are the Delray 

Divas, Carol Garrett’s Jewish Soul, Chinese Performing Arts 

and Anthony Bacchus with the Milagro Center Kids Drum Circle. 

All People’s Day has three traditions – the Craft Dough People, 

the Symbol, and Origami Peace Cranes. 

Prior to the main event, from 9:30 to 11am, Berkowitz- 

Schwartz will host a free workshop for up to 30 children from 

4 to 11 years old, where they will learn to create Craft Dough

When Delray Beach Kiwanis Club learned that a mother 

and her five children had to flee their home after a fire in 

a nearby apartment, members sprang into action. 

Little did the Kiwanians know at the time that they would 

also be helping a second Delray Beach family pay forward a 

good deed done by club members decades earlier. 

The club, which supports organizations throughout the community 

– with an emphasis on those benefiting children and 

families – discovered that a couple of the families displaced 

by the blaze had children attending Orchard View Elementary 

School, which the club had “adopted” years before. 

Working with the school’s principal – fellow Kiwanian Danielle 

Garcia – members withdrew $300 from the club treasury 

to buy clothing and other items for the family members who 

were temporarily staying with relatives. 

It was when the Jenkins family was able to move back into 

its apartment that club members Ezra Krieg and Peggy Kellelocals

all made from the same materials and therefore we should all 

be treated with equal respect,” she said. 

The Symbol activity takes the form of a family mural. The 

young participants draw representations of their own families 

connecting with one another. “We believe we’re all one family,” 

Berkowitz-Schwartz said. 

Origami Peace Cranes will be made throughout the day representing 

the poignant tale of a young Japanese girl’s wish for 

peace among nations. According to legend if 1,000 cranes are 

folded a wish will be granted. In addition there will be a onehour 

presentation by the Morikami Museum about the cranes. 

“If we care about people we want peace in the world,” Berkowitz-Schwartz 

says. 

The festival also includes more than 50 interactive merchandise 

booths featuring a diverse mix of things to see and do. Kids 

will find additional free arts projects such as puppet making 

with a stage to perform and face painting. Teens and adults enjoy 

hands on issue-based activities including interactive word 

games by nonprofits, a health fair, an Issues Mural, and an opportunity 

to take a selfie with life-size diversity figures. Also present 

will be items for sale such as artwork, books, T-shirts, and more. 

Sponsors of the festival include Lake Worth Interfaith Network, 

Esterman Eye Institute, Haitian American Culture Day, 

Greenberg Elder Law Services, Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics, 

Heal the Planet, Humana, A&H Automotive and WiseTribe.

her reached out to the community through 

Facebook and email asking for donations of 

clothing, furniture, and furnishings. 

“The response was amazing,” Kelleher 

said. the club member who helped coordinate 

the effort. “I received at least 50 calls 

and emails from people wanting to know 

how they could help.” 

While all of the contribution were well 

received and greatly appreciated, it was the 

donation from Laurie Zuniga and her husband 

Frank that really stood out. 

The Zunigas were in the process of clearing 

out their daughter Jackie’s nearby apartment 

following her death from COVID related 

pneumonia a few weeks earlier, when Laurie 

saw the Kiwanis’ posting on Facebook. 

It was while she was on the phone with 

Kelleher that Zuniga discovered the same Kiwanis 

group had helped the struggling family 

in the early 1990 by paying their electric 

bill for several months while Jackie was recovering 

from a kidney transplant that had 

drained the family’s savings. 

“I just couldn’t believe it,” Zuniga said. 

“I thought what a blessing and the timing 

couldn’t have been more perfect. Now another 

family could have Jackie’s furniture. I 

was thrilled because we could pay it forward 

through the same organization that helped 

us out years ago.” 

Early in February a small army of volunteers 

led by Kiwanians loaded many of the 

items from the apartment onto a trailer provided 

by Exhilaride Golf Cart Rentals and delivered 

them to Elethia Jenkins and her family. 

“My husband and I are so happy that

something beautiful came from such devastating 

tragedies,” Laurie Zuniga said. “We 

feel heaven definitely played a part in the 

bringing together all those involved. Just 

like the person who so selflessly donated 

their kidney to help our daughter, it is so 

comforting to know that, through Jackie, 

we could be of help to another family. We 

wish them many blessings.” 

Other donations from the community included 

everything from a television set and 

a rug to a full living room set and small appliances. 

The club also received gift cards 

for the family. 

“We are so grateful to everyone who 

helped with donation and who made it 

possible for the Jenkins family to be able to 

move back home,” Kelleher said. 

The Kiwanis club is still accepting donations.

you can help contact the Delray Beach Kiwanis

POSH PROPERTIES 

BY Jeremy Charles 

Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Jeremy Charles, an adopted 

member of the Floridian family. I relocated to Palm Beach from 

a small Caribbean Island a few miles off the coast of Florida 

back in 2001. As a kid I can recall involuntarily waking up one 

Saturday morning at 7am to start my workday because my 3 older 

biological sisters refused to babysit. To my surprise it was a blessing 

in disguise. On our way to work my mom drove through this siren and 

tropical road, (A1A), to get to the Residence Inn by Marriot on the 

corner of Atlantic Ave and Seabreeze Ave. I remember escaping my 

duties to explore the Ave and admire Lady Atlantic. Like an attractive 

woman with many admirers, I have been in love with the city of Delray 

Beach since then. Choosing a career in Real estate should derive 

from the same unrelenting passion instead of the “love of looking 

at beautiful houses and being good with people.” One must have 

grit to persist during improbable outcomes, an insatiable desire for 

development of their craft, and a genuine interest in getting to know 

people with the objective of matching them with the right home.

locals only | delray under $50 

By Darien Davies 

Delray Under $50 

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

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

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

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

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

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

Break out the green or you’re getting pinched! That’s right, 

folks, it’s time once again for the meanest, greenest St. Patrick’s 

Day party this side of the rainbow, and everyone’s invited 

to paint the town green. Even though St. Patrick’s Day falls 

on Thursday, March 17 this year, the party is getting started 

the Saturday prior (you know, so we can all keep our jobs 

on Friday). The City of Delray Beach’s 

St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival 

has proudly enjoyed a 

52-year history and provides 

fun-filled entertainment for all 

ages and backgrounds. The parade 

features more than 70 entries 

comprised of floats, schools, 

businesses, community groups, 

non-profits, elected officials, United 

States Veterans, fire engines, motorcycles, 

Pipes and Drums, marching 

bands, first responders, Irish heritage societies 

and other ethnic groups. This first 

responder-themed St. Patrick’s Day Parade 

is truly Florida’s premiere hometown parade! 

The parade is held from 12 to 2pm 

beginning at the Intracoastal Waterway 

and heading west on Atlantic Avenue to 

Northwest Fifth Avenue. After the parade, 

head to the festival, located at Old School 

Square and held from 1 to 7pm. Both the 

parade and festival are free, family-friendly 

events that draw in crowds from not only Delray 

Beach and its neighboring cities, but from 

around the world. You can expect to enjoy live 

music, food trucks, food booths, vendors, merchandise, 

games, Pipes and Drums and so much 

more! Visit www.stpatsdelray.com or call (561) 

243-7452 for more information. 


After 13 years of being in the know, you’d 

think you’d have a front-row seat, right? 

Ha! That’s not the hustling and bustling 

Savor the Avenue way. But, have no fear, a good 

idea is near. March is International Ideas Month 

and even though the delicious Savor the Avenue 

event is out of our DU50 budget and reach (it 

has been sold out practically since the moment 

tickets went on sale), that doesn’t mean you 

have to miss the entire event. The beauty of the 

dining experience is that Atlantic Avenue is closed, 

and all the tables and wild decorations are set 

up in the street. So, if people watching is your 

thing, as well as sipping delicious cocktails 

while perusing tablescapes, then grab the 

pals and enjoy the event from start to finish. 

This dining destination is held Monday, 

March 28 from 5:30 to 9pm and includes a 

champagne toast and four courses, served from 

some of Delray’s most notable restaurants. The 

best part is that participating restaurants, and other 

local restaurants along the Avenue, are still open for regular 

dining, so you can mix and mingle to your heart and stomach’s 

content. If you like what you see, make a note to book 

your tickets early for next year’s event. (You know, like this 

year.) Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561)

Sure, it can be difficult to be optimistic nowadays. Are 

we still dealing with COVID, is it safe to be super social, 

what’s the long-term plan with my job, etc. etc. 

etc. But there are reasons to be optimistic everyday, and 

that’s not just coming from Deepak Chopra. March is Optimism 

Month and it’s a great time to tune into the optimistic 

part of your brain and head out into the land 

of possibilities. If you need somewhere specific to go,

head to the 13th All People’s Day Diversity Festival. Held Saturday, 

March 19 from 11am to 3pm at Pompey Park, this free 

event is a celebration of Delray’s community members. Created 

to showcase the many cultures that make Delray Beach one of 

the most diverse communities in South Florida, the All People’s 

Day Diversity Festival is a free indoor event that features as 

many as 15 musical and dance performances. Committed to 

highlighting all people, all cultures and all traditions, the festival 

offers free food from different cultural restaurants as well 

as 50 booths that include Origami Peace Crane folding, puppet 

making and other children’s activities as well as hands-on word 

and art games for teens and adults from many non-profits. So 

come on out and celebrate the optimism and positivity of the 

community! Pompey Park is located at 1101 N.W. Second St. 

Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 706-7779 

for more information. 

Long noodles equal a long life, right? There’s only one way 

to find out! (After all, who isn’t down for a good slurp?) 

March is National Noodle Month and is a delightful time 

to carb load for a cause. Sure, you could go the spaghetti route, 

but think outside the box and order the bowl instead. Lemongrass 

Asian Bistro invites you to indulge in delightful noodlebased 

dishes. Maybe the Duck Noodle Soup, made with housebraised 

five spice long island duck, fresh rice noodles, bean 

sprouts, garlic, basil and bok choy in duck broth ($19) sounds 

like something you could get down on. Or maybe the Drunken 

Udon Noodles with stir-fried thick chewy wheat noodles, onion, 

chili jam, garlic, Thai basil, red peppers, asparagus and 

scallions ($18) tickles your fancy. You can really bring it home 

with the Mongolian Udon Noodle entree, with marinated Mongolian 

steak, stir fried with thick chewy wheat noodles, chili 

jam, garlic, Thai basil, red peppers, onions and scallions ($29). 

Whatever your noodle pleasure, Lemongrass is sure to deliver. 

Lemongrass Asian Bistro is located at 420 E. Atlantic Ave. Visit 

www.lemongrassasianbistrodelraybeach.com or call (561) 


You only have one body, so it’s time to treat it like the temple 

that it is! March is National Nutrition Month and not 

that you have to always eat right, or always take the stairs, 

or always opt for no butter on your movie theater popcorn (if 

you’re a psycho), but it’s a great reminder to go that extra step 

every now and again. To make this goal less daunting for you, 

and since no one really knows how to cook tofu anyway, the 

lovely chefs at our downtown eateries are here for you and your 

BMI. Head to Elisabetta’s for lunch and lovingly sink your teeth 

into their Quinoa and Grilled Chicken Salad, made with gorgonzola 

dolce, seasonal vegetables, fingerling potatoes, walnut 

vinaigrette for $18. Yes, please! Or maybe City Oyster’s crudo 

plates for dinner will do the trick. They’re dishing out tuna with 

shallot, garlic, and chili oil; salmon with avocado, micro cilantro, 

and pickled jalapeños; and hamachi with ponzu, jalapeño, 

and garlic, for $17 each. If you’re feeling the meat, Gary Rack’s 

Farmhouse Kitchen’s Nut & Seed Crusted Chicken, with roasted 

Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, cauliflower, and mustard vinaigrette 

for $26 is sure to hit the spot. Regardless of your selections, 

going the nutritious route has never been more delicious 

and more doable. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call 

(561) 243-1077 for more information and restaurant locations.

19th Annual Delray Beach Home Tour 

in Scenic Lake Ida Neighborhood 

Several homeowners in Delray Beach’s beautiful Lake Ida 

Neighborhood will be opening their doors to visitors during 

the 19th Annual Delray Beach Home Tour benefiting Achievement 

Centers for Children & Families (ACCF) on Wednesday, March 

9th from 10am to 4pm. The Delray Beach Home Tour is a unique 

opportunity to see exquisite interiors of homes and gardens. 

During the tour, which attracts visitors from throughout South 

Florida, guests can enjoy a leisurely day exploring unique residences, 

a catered luncheon and trolley service between homes. 

All Home Tour ticket sales and sponsorships benefit ACCF, which 

supports children and families throughout Delray Beach and the 

surrounding neighborhoods. At ACCF children are involved in Early 

Learning (Toddler and Preschool), Out-of-School (After School and 

Summer Camp), and Teen Mentoring programs that prepare them 

for academic and social success and empower them to discover 

their talents. ACCF families are served through programs like Family 

Strengthening and Economic Stabilization, which benefit the 

community by helping families in crisis; enabling them to serve as 

the foundation of their child’s growth. 

The Home Tour was first conceived by long-time ACCF board 

members and supporters Anne Bright and Barbara Murphy. 

Planning for the home tour, which draws more than 600 visitors 

annually, involves more than 100 dedicated volunteers. 

Despite their best efforts, ACCF had to cancel the Home Tour 

in 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the 

generosity of ACCF supporters, funds 

donated to Home Tour the past two 

years were critical for ACCF’s children 

and families. 

Tickets for the Delray Home Tour 

are available online at www.achievementcentersfl.org/delray-home-tour. 

COVID-19 safety protocols will be in 

place at Home Tour. For more information, 

to purchase tickets, or become 

a sponsor, visit www.achievementcentersfl.org/delray-home-tour/.

March 11 

► The Batman Dubbed “The Bat and The Cat” about the Batman 

vs Catwoman feud in the movie. In his second year of fighting crime, 

Batman (Robert Pattinson) uncovers corruption in Gotham City 

that connects to his own family while facing a serial killer known 

as the Riddler. Andy Serkis as Alfred, Zoe Kravitz as “Catwoman,” 

Jeffrey Wright as Gordon, plus Colin Farrell as Cobblepot, Paul 

Dano as Nashton, and John Turturro as Falcone. 

► After Yang (Theaters + Showtime) When his young daughter’s 

beloved companion - an android named Yang (Justin H. Min) - 

malfunctions, Jake (Colin Farrell) searches for a way to repair 

him. In the process, Jake discovers the life that has been passing in 

front of him, reconnecting with his wife (Jodie Turner-Smith) and 

daughter across a distance he didn’t know was there. 

► Great Freedom (Theaters) Based on a true story about a 

prisoner in post-war Germany, Hans is imprisoned again and 

again for being homosexual. The one steady relationship in his 

life becomes his long-time cell mate, Viktor, a convicted murderer. 

What starts in revulsion grows to something called love. The film 

stars award-winning German actor Franz Rogowski as Hans, Georg 

Friedrich as Viktor, plus Anton von Lucke, and Thomas Prenn. 

► Pixar’s Turning Red (Disney+) Growing up is a beast. Young 

actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice in Turning Red to Mei Lee, a 

13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she 

gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices 

Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who 

is never far from her daughter - an unfortunate reality for the 

teenager. Turning Red is both written and directed by Chinese- 

Canadian animation filmmaker Domee Shi. 

COPYRIGHTED 

► Gold (Theaters) When two drifters traveling through the 

desert stumble across the biggest gold nugget ever found, the 

dream of immense wealth and greed takes hold. They hatch a 

plan to protect and excavate their bounty with one man leaving 

to secure the necessary equipment. The other remains and must 

endure harsh desert elements, ravenous wild dogs, and mysterious 

intruders, whilst battling the sinking suspicion that he has been 

abandoned to his own fate. Zac Efron co-stars with Anthony Hayes, 

who also directs the film.

The Night Shift 

by Alex Finlay 

Released March 1st 

It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected 

to end in chaos: planes falling from the 

sky, elevators plunging to earth, world 

markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. 

None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster 

Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working 

late at the store are attacked. Only one 

inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify 

a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the 

victims, who flees and is never seen again. 

Fifteen years later, more teenage 

employees are attacked at an ice cream 

store in the same town, and again only one 

makes it out alive. 

In the aftermath of the latest crime, 

three lives intersect: the lone survivor of 

the Blockbuster massacre who’s forced 

to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the 

brother of the fugitive accused, who’s 

convinced the police have the wrong 

suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who 

must delve into the secrets of both nights - 

stirring up memories of teen love and lies 

- to uncover the truth about murders on 

the night shift.

their world is tipped upside down when 

Jade is confronted by a masked home 

invader. As Cam scrambles to gather the 

ransom money, Jade starts to wonder 

if they’re as financially secure as their 

lifestyle suggests, and what other secrets 

her husband is keeping from her. 

Cam may be a good father, a celebrity 

chef and a darling husband, but there’s 

another side he’s kept hidden from 

Jade that has put their family in danger. 

Unbeknownst to Cam and Jade, the home 

invader has been watching them and is 

about to turn their family secrets into a 

public scandal.

The Book of Cold 

Cases 

by Simone St. James 


true crime blogger gets more than 

A she bargained for while interviewing 

the woman acquitted of two cold case 

slayings in this chilling new novel from 

the New York Times bestselling author of 

The Sun Down Motel. 

In 1977, Claire Lake, Oregon, was 

shaken by the Lady Killer Murders: 

Two men, seemingly randomly, were

murdered with the same gun, with strange notes 

left behind. Beth Greer was the perfect suspect—a 

rich, eccentric twenty-three-year-old woman, seen 

fleeing one of the crimes. But she was acquitted, and 

she retreated to the isolation of her mansion. 

Oregon, 2017. Shea Collins is a receptionist, but 

by night, she runs a true crime website, the Book 

of Cold Cases—a passion fueled by the attempted 

abduction she escaped as a child. When she meets 

Beth by chance, Shea asks her for an interview. To 

Shea’s surprise, Beth says yes. 

They meet regularly at Beth’s mansion, though 

Shea is never comfortable there. Items move when 

she’s not looking, and she could swear she’s seen a 

girl outside the window. The allure of learning the 

truth about the case from the smart, charming Beth 

is too much to resist, but even as they grow closer, 

Shea senses something isn’t right. Is she making 

friends with a manipulative murderer, or are there 

other dangers lurking in the darkness of the Greer 

house? 

The Diamond Eye

The New York Times bestselling author of The Rose 

Code returns with an unforgettable World War II 

tale of a quiet librarian who becomes history’s deadliest 

female sniper. Based on a true story. 

In the snowbound city of Kiev, wry and bookish 

history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her 

life around her library job and her young son—but 

Hitler’s invasion of Russia sends her on a different 

path. Given a rifle and sent to join the fight, Mila 

must forge herself from studious girl to deadly 

sniper—a lethal hunter of Nazis known as Lady 

Death. When news of her three hundredth kill makes 

her a national heroine, Mila finds herself torn from 

the bloody battlefields of the eastern front and sent 

to America on a goodwill tour. 

Still reeling from war wounds and devastated 

by loss, Mila finds herself isolated and lonely in 

the glittering world of Washington, DC—until an 

unexpected friendship with First Lady Eleanor 

COPYRIGHTED 

Roosevelt and an even more unexpected connection 

with a silent fellow sniper offer the possibility of 

happiness. But when an old enemy from Mila’s past 

joins forces with a deadly new foe lurking in the 

shadows, Lady Death finds herself battling her own 

demons and enemy bullets in the deadliest duel of 

her life. 

Based on a true story, The Diamond Eye is a 

haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of 

a mother who became a soldier, of a woman who 

found her place in the world and changed the course 

of history forever. 


health & beauty | pain relief 

By Dr. Safranski 

Bad Posture = Neck Pain 

Text neck, tech neck, forward head posture, anterior head 

carriage, upper crossed syndrome, military neck, straightening 

of the cervical spine, and loss of lordosis are all terms used by 

health care professionals today. These big fancy words mean 

one thing, you have bad posture. Aside from the aesthetics, 

why is posture important? 


In a study published in Clinical biomechanics, posture in the 

cervical spine (neck) they found that having a forward flexed 

posture was more likely to have an increase in failure of the 

disc in the middle C3/4 or C5/6. This is important to note because 

most people have this posture. When we have the increase 

in flexion or loss of cervical lordosis, we become susceptible to 

injuries of the spine and neck. Think about it like this, the discs 

act as the shock absorbers of the neck, along with good biomechanics 

of the cervical spine (posture) and well hydrated discs 

(shock absorbers) the spine can absorb injuries and function as 

it should. Continuing with the car analogy, if the alignment (cervical 

biomechanics) is off then, the shock absorbers are going to 

wear out faster which can lead to tires wearing out faster, and so 

on and so forth. 

You might be asking yourself: How did I get like this? How did 

this happen? What can I do to fix it? Well, this happens to all of 

us that use a cell phone, a computer, and/or have a desk job. We 

are constantly looking down, stretching the posterior (back) side 

of the neck - elongating and weakening the muscles in the back 

and strengthening the muscles in the front - causing a forward 

rolled shoulder. These repetitive actions that we do on a daily basis 

cause long term change. 

Our bodies are amazing organisms. The human body does 

many adaptations to keep our eyes on the horizon and keep us 

upright and moving in our day-to-day lives. However, it is not always 

the right way to compensate for improper actions such as 

looking down at your phone, looking at your computer screen, or 

working out the big flexor muscle groups. Eventually we will have 

symptoms like neck pain, shoulder pain, numbness in hands and 

fingers, muscle weakness, headaches, limited movement, and disc 

issues. If we don’t take care of these postural corrections, they 

can turn into much more severe problems further down the road. 

There are steps to take to regain what has been lost, correct the 

necessary structures, and live an active pain free lifestyle. 

Step 1: Go to a chiropractor and get an assessment that includes 

x-rays, range of motions, and a postural assessment. 

Step 2: Get adjusted. Getting adjusted puts motion back into 

the segments of the cervical spine that have not been moving 

properly. This is not only good from a biomechanics perspective, 

but from a physiologic perspective. The spinal discs get their hydration 

through movement, so any lack of movement in the cervical 

spine leads to dehydrated discs. 

Step 3: Find a place that does non-surgical spinal decompression 

or traction. Stretching the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in 

the case of posture not only helps establish plastic deformation to 

restructure the ligaments of the cervical spine, but it helps bring 

more motion in to the discs, to hydrate them. 

Step 4: Stretch the anterior compartment of the cervical spine 

and strengthen the posterior compartment. This will ultimately 

solidify the changes that are being made with the adjustment to 

achieve long standing changes. 

Structure and function are correlated, If the structures are 

good, you will function well. 

Move well, live well.

Spring Clean Up! 

The hot weather is here and bathing suit 

season is upon us. If you haven’t shed 

that extra layer yet, now is the time! 

I’m sure most of you are familiar with that layer that I’m talking 

about. That “layer” from the holidays that you swore would be 

off in time for summer. It is never too late to get that body in 

gear! Here are some tips to kick-start your spring and have 

you feeling ready for that summer wardrobe! 

The first and most important component of shedding 

that unwanted layer is nutrition. I highly 

recommend keeping a daily food log of exactly 

everything that you are consuming…the 

good the bad and the ugly! This will help 

you easily pinpoint your strengths 

and weaknesses. Make sure to 

write it ALL down to make 

yourself accountable! Next, 

try your best to eliminate processed 

foods from your diet and 

stick to 70-80% homemade prepared 

meals (yes, you can do it!). Food prep 

is 100% essential in helping you 

reach your goals! These meals 

should consist of lean proteins, 

healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, 

fruit, and of course lots of veggies. 

Having healthy food on hand 

at all times is a game changer. The 

other nutrition component is water! 

Your body will not burn fat if 

it is dehydrated. It is such a simple 

thing many people don’t do. Drinking 

proper amounts of water will 

also help to keep you feeling full, 

help flush out toxins and help decrease 

bloating! 

The second component 

is weightlifting. 

It must 

be done…period. 

Weightlifting is essential to 

fat burning and your metabolism. The more muscle 

you have, the more calories your body will burn at rest. 

Ladies, I promise you will NOT get bulky from lifting 

more than five pounds. I compare weight training to a 

sculptor taking a piece of round clay molding it into 

a nice shapely figure. That is what real work does 


to your body. It gives your body the “shape” most are looking to 

achieve and that will not happen without picking up some sizable 

weights! Many people think cardio alone will do this and that is 

the farthest thing from the truth. Although cardio has its time and 

place (more about that next) resistance training is essential. 

You should aim to get in 4-5 sessions a week, lasting no longer 

than 60 minutes. 

The last component is incorporating High Intensity 

Interval Training also known as HIIT. This is the fastest 

and most effective way to decrease your body fat 

and show off all the resistance training that you 

have been doing. The best thing about this 

type of cardio is that you don’t need a lot of 

it. The days of super long and slow cardio 

sessions are OVER! HIIT will keep your body 

burning calories for hours after your actual 

session. This type of training involves alternating 

between intense bouts of exercise 

followed by low intensity exercise. If you 

are a beginner, you may want to start 

with a 1:1 work ratio. One minute on, 

one minute off. HIIT can be performed 

anywhere…. outside using sprints or 

stairs, on the treadmill, at the beach, 

etc. This can also be incorporated 

with your weight workouts, which 

is what I recommend. 

Take these 3 components of 

eating clean (do that food prep!) 

weight training, and proper cardio, 

and you will be 

summer ready in 

no time. There 

is no better way 

to welcome the 

summer heat 

than with a healthy, more 

confident you.

Ronni Hawk 

If you aren’t already familiar with American 

actress Ronni Hawk, let me introduce you to 

one of Hollywood’s powerhouse rising starlets. 

Auditioning for, and securing a spot at the Bak school in West 

Palm Beach, Ronni excelled in dance and cultivated a passion 

for being on stage, all prior to her teenage years. A love of performing 

now running through her veins, an open modeling audition 

in Miami for the Disney Network set into motion her now thriving 

profession. With determination and a list of local agencies in hand, 

Hawk was quickly signed to World of Kids Model and Talent Agency in 

South Florida, and began working at a breakneck pace. Prompted by 

a majority of television commercial bookings, Ronni enrolled in acting 

classes to hone her new found life path. After enthusiastic feedback 

stemming from an intense clinic instructed by two Los Angeles 

based coaches, she relocated from Boca Raton, Florida to the west 

coast, her mother in tow. Hawk was signed to the prestigious Osbrink 

Talent Agency and Monster Talent Management within one week of 

her arrival, and started the daunting task of casting calls. 

Fast by industry standards, Ronni landed a guest spot on Playing 

Hooky as Leah, and more involved roles presented themselves soon 

thereafter. Even with a blossoming television career underway, California 

law required the young entertainer to obtain schooling, and 

she did so assisted by on-location tutors. 

“Attending classes while working on a hot set is interesting. You can 

be in the middle of a test, and production will call you to film. But I 

graduated, have my diploma, and I’m proud of that accomplishment.” 

Prepping for an audition can be one of the most anticipated and 

pivotal facets of acting, and Ronni makes sure to become fully immersed 

in the person she wishes to portray. Hawk describes living in 

her desired role for a few days in advance, even dressing and speaking 

as the imagined individual, placing her in the correct headspace. 

“I’ll quickly memorize my lines, and then meet with a coach to 

polish my delivery. If the part is more girly for example, I’ll put on a 

good amount of jewelry and make my voice a bit higher to really get a 

sense of their personality traits. But if I really want a project, I’ll sleep 

with the sides under my pillow for luck.” 

In 2016, Ronni was at home with family, when a phone call delivered 

the life-altering news that she had landed the character of 

Rachel Diaz on Disney Channel’s comedy series, Stuck in the Middle. 

After two seasons, Hawk made the decision to move on when she 

booked the coveted part of Olivia in the show On My Block, a coming-of-age 

Netflix teen dramedy. That same year she also procured a 

role on the second season of the CBS produced action drama, S.W.A.T. 

“The Tiffany Experience” episode featured Ronni as a social media 

star dealing with an overzealous threatening stalker. 

Life sometimes imitates art, and when a former fellow cast mate 

concocted a vicious rumor, the lie spread swiftly throughout various 

media platforms. Recalling advice from one of her first managers 

about staying tough in this business, Ronni was confident her true 

disposition would shine through and held her head high. “People can 

be extremely competitive and sometimes will try to sabotage you 

with untruths.” 

As the judgments reached an unnerving level, Hawk had no choice 

but to ease away from the internet community for a moment. “It can 

be hard at times... there was a period where I couldn’t go through any 

of my comments. To stay positive, it’s a good idea to take a break in 

these circumstances. When an audience thinks of me, I would like to 

be known for being a kind, giving person and a loyal friend.” 

This multi-talented actress is adding producer to her resume, currently 

working on Girl With a Gun, an Indie Movie she stars in and 

produces, and admires the catalog of an American filmmaker who 

exhibits a distinctive expressive style. 

“I would love to work for Wes Anderson. He’s amazing... his vision 

is beautiful and I fully enjoy everything he does.” 

In her down time Hawk is a self-described avid adventurer, partaking 

in scuba diving, hiking, skiing, and horseback riding. The dedicated 

perfectionist practices jumping horses almost daily, and is looking 

forward to participating next year on the competition circuit. 

A visceral love of nature and mankind subsequently led Ronni to 

connect with a widely praised charity, The Thirst Project. Hoping to 

be a beacon of change amongst her peers, Hawk is involved with 

raising awareness for humanitarian issues across the globe. Thirst 

Project is a nonprofit organization that works to end the worldwide 

freshwater crisis by constructing wells in developing countries 

throughout Africa, with one hundred percent of donations disbursed 

directly to ongoing projects. 

From dance school to taking a leap of faith in the entertainment industry, 

Ronni Hawk embodies what happens when raw talent meets 

motivation. Always giving viewers her full capacity as an artist, fans 

should be eager to see where Ronni proceeds in the future.

The White Glove Experience - 

Real Estate with Passion and Excellence 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

They say you are only as strong as your weakest link. 

That’s why Taylor Travaglione, VP of Growth and Evolution 

for ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is always on the 

lookout for top notch savvy real estate agents. 

This vision for the crème de la crème of realtors is the most 

potent ingredient to their marketing strategy, especially 

in the Delray Beach office. “We have only been here for a 

short amount of time, but the power of our brand and the continual 

growth of the company attracts the best and brightest agents,” 

said Travaglione. 

Robert Guntmacher fits that exalted pedigree that Travaglione 

searches for exclusively. The New York native moved to Delray 

Beach six years ago and began renovating and flipping multi-family 

properties in Palm Beach County. 

Fast forward to today and Guntmacher is a high-powered player 

in the residential redevelopment of vacant land, rehabs and teardowns. 

His sales history is remarkable, and his reputation and 

work ethic are in a rarefied category of exclusivity. 

“Robert has done a tremendous amount of business in a relatively 

short amount of time. He has achieved what most agents would 

hope to accomplish in their entire career. Robert is a property hawk; 

he has an incredible eye for identifying and coveting real estate opportunities. 

He is the first to learn of investment opportunities and 


the most aggressive and proactive agent around,” said Travaglione. 

Another reason that Guntmacher is the perfect match for ONE 

Sotheby’s International is because of their new Development Division. 

They now offer sales and marketing strategies for pre-construction 

of multiple dwelling town homes and condo projects. According 

to Travaglione they partner with a developer and do their 

marketing and sales after the project is completed. 

So far this is Guntmacher’s ace in the real estate race. “Last year, 

while working at a small independent office, I participated in 26 

redevelopment closings. This accounted for $271 million in ongoing 

and planned new luxury construction re-development projects 

in Delray Beach in the 33444 and 33483 zip codes.” 

Prior to coming to ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, Guntmacher 

was working in a small local office with one broker, minimal 

marketing support and what he calls a “limited future.” 

But this charismatic king of real estate doesn’t dwell on the 

downside of existence, like water he bounces above the shore and 

creates his own path to success. That is why ONE Sotheby’s came 

calling for him to join their team in Delray Beach. 

COPYRIGHTED

“This year I was contacted by Taylor Travaglione of ONE Sotheby’s 

International Realty in Miami, the second largest franchisee 

in the Sotheby’s universe. Taylor’s mission is to establish ONE Sotheby’s 

as a major player From Miami-Dade and Broward County to 

Jacksonville, Florida.” 

Guntmacher is spot on. Travaglione is adamant that ONE Sotheby’s 

is on the fast track to the pinnacle of sales and service 

for their clients – whether residential, commercial or corporate 

pre-construction. 

“We have a grand vision for what we are going to accomplish 

in Delray Beach and the surrounding areas. We are showing our 

strength in the marketplace by attracting the best agents to our 

ever-growing company. 

Part of this new team – that includes Guntmacher – is Julie Giachetti. 

She specializes in luxury waterfront property and is at the 

top of her game. She is a multiple Diamond Award Winner and has 

sold nearly $1 billion in closed real estate sales. 

And no one is happier than Travaglione to welcome these two 

real estate pros to the ONE Sotheby’s team. 

“We have a diverse approach to the brokerage, that is residential, 

commercial and new development in South Florida. We have two 

amazing new members on our team that align with a market leader 

that’s growing at an accelerated rate. The South Florida offices are 

in the top tier of the ONE Sotheby’s International Realty portfolio 

of real estate.” 

Part of this Florida success, according to Travaglione, is their 

hyper focus on creating and establishing the best working culture 

with support and service for their team. 

“Robert and Julie have two amazing careers and are partnering 

with ONE Sotheby’s because we are an exciting company with tremendous 

growth and resources. We provide unbridled service and 

support with a thriving marketing and creative department.” 

The ONE Sotheby’s International Realty philosophy is that they 

are more concerned with quality than quantity. They are also very 

selective about who joins their team. 

The reasons are obvious to those who know the ONE Sotheby’s 

history and heritage. “ONE Sotheby’s exceeds any and every expectation 

one could have for representing a professional organization 

populated by quality individuals,” said Guntmacher. 

ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is supported by market 

knowledge and insights, the latest technology, and a global backbone 

of support and service. This expertise is grounded in the belief 

that the best experiences inspire the best decisions. 

That is why they are experiencing exponential growth, especially 

in the Florida marketplace. The company has 27 offices and 1,300 

agents from Miami to Jacksonville. Their reputation for experience 

and passion for their customers define the Sotheby’s International 

Realty brand. 

ONE Sotheby’s is known for being a company that finds “Exceptional 

Homes for Exceptional People.” Their belief is that the client’s 

vision is their inspiration at the highest level of service and 

expertise. 

They are recognized as a market leader with associates that 

bring passion and commitment to every client they serve. Robert 

Guntmacher and Julie Giachetti exemplify this creed to reach (and 

surpass) real estate royalty.

Local Shopping at its Best 

By Nicol Jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

When you step through the doors of the 

newly opened store, you can tell that it’s 

not like any other shop on Atlantic Avenue. 

The carefully curated array of products ensures each member of the 

family will find a piece they love. The beach-to-bar and office-tostreet 

merchandise, from brands like Scotch & Soda, Vineyard Vines 

and Peter Millar, perfectly suits the Delray audience and marks Global Pursuit 

as a local alternative to the mall. What completes the exceptional shopping 

experience, however, is the store’s spacious, welcoming atmosphere 

and passionate, friendly staff. 

The store’s owners, mother and son team Angela and Sam Marsh, strive 

to stock and support environmentally conscious brands. Patagonia, Faherty, 

and Marine Layer— all born on the water— have excellent initiatives to 

save our oceans. “Each of these brands represents Global Pursuit and our 

drive to give back to the source that’s given so much to us,” said Angela, adding, 

“One of the things that set us apart is that we seek out these sustainable 

brands,” said Angela, “And the other is customer service. The people in the 

shop are the true difference; it is what makes shopping local so special.” 


Angela opened her first store in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, and has expanded 

her business with her son, Sam, by her side. The Atlantic Avenue 

shop opened last October, and the community has responded well as repeat 

customers are now the norm. 

“Global Pursuit began over 13 years ago. Much has changed since then, 

but our mission remains the same: To stock the best designs and best fabrications 

while keeping sustainability front of mind. We have bespoke clothing, 

accessories and footwear for the whole family, so you can Feel Good 

about Looking Great,” said Angela, adding, “We are also so lucky to be able 

to work together as a family with Sam starting work in the shop back in 

Stone Harbor, NJ when he was just 13. Through the last dozen years, he 

came to many trade shows, learned the back office and now is a true partner. 

He was the primary designer of the Delray store’s interior and has a 

great eye for what works in the space.” 

The duo is excited to be a part of the Delray community. Giving back 

to the local community is at the core of their mission. They supported 

and participated in the Tenth Annual Delray Beach Fashion Week and are 

members of the DDA and Chamber of Commerce. 

“The community has been incredibly receptive to the store, some of 

whom know us from our NJ location. Others who are just finding us for the 

first time are happy not to have to trek to the mall for a new button down for 

work, a polo for golf, or a new dress for the office or dinner out,” said Angela. 

Brands like Peter Millar and Chubbies have been a favorite for many 

local gentlemen. Women adore the breadth of styles featuring Gretchen 

Scott, Sanctuary, and Tribal. Everyone loves the options from Faherty 

Brand, Vineyard Vines, and Marine Layer. Art-driven brands like Obey, 

plus sports fan favorites, ‘47 Brand, and Mitchell and Ness, are also part 

of the mix. Much of their apparel is made from environmentally friendly 

COPYRIGHTED

products, such as organic cotton and repurposed recycled materials—you 

can find a bathing suit from Patagonia made of recycled fishing nets or a 

tee from Marine Layer made of organic cotton. Global Pursuit also offers a 

great selection of shoes and sandals including Hey Dude, Havaianas, Ugg, 

Vionic, and Teva. 

It has been a labor of love for the family to transform the old pharmacy 

location into a beautiful shopping environment. 

“I love being in the retail industry, every season brings new challenges. 

Working with our team to meet those challenges is so incredibly rewarding. 

Supply chain issues, the lack of in person trade shows was an additional 

difficulty that we had to navigate these past two years but working 

with our vendors as partners we were able to make it through successfully. 

Learning our customers and meeting their needs, making them happy 

about how they look is so fun. We love making people feel good about looking 

great,” said the owners. 

Though the shop is new to the Avenue, the shop’s heart and soul is not. 

Mary and her team including Didi, Athena, and Terri have long worked 

in retail on the Avenue and are magicians at assisting guests. Customers 

praise Global Pursuit’s owners and staff for a positive shopping experience. 

“This place is simply amazing. Wonderful staff that are knowledgeable 

about their products. It seemed like they really wanted to make sure I 

walked out satisfied with my purchase. Also, great style for Delray! I’ll definitely 

be back!” said one customer. 

“I had a great experience at Global Pursuit. Friendly and accommodating 

staff were eager to help both my fiancé and I will definitely be back to 

revisit their great selection!” said another happy customer. 

“I knew that I would become a loyal customer the moment I walked 

through the doors. I was immediately welcomed by a member of the staff 

and the store has a bright, inviting atmosphere. The clothes are perfect if 

you are going for a casual yet stylish beach vibe. I would definitely recommend 

this store for all age groups and plan on coming back to stock my 

spring wardrobe!” praised another frequent customer. 

“Absolutely will be my new go-to in Delray - awesome selection of men’s 

clothing. Love the style and feel like just about anyone could find something 

they like in here!” 

Stop by Global Pursuit for a wonderful local shopping experience for 

your entire family!

Local, knowledgeable and professional, is what Jerilyn Walter 

looks for when adding to her already successful roster of agents. 

only do the candidates need to understand the business of real estate, they also need to have a strong knowledge of their 

community, the area trends, and possess a strong desire to create and sustain a successful real estate practice. In this current 

“Not 

and extremely competitive real estate market, work ethic is an absolute must,” says Jerilyn. 

Posh Properties is a successful boutique Real Estate firm with offices in downtown Delray Beach, Ocean Ridge and downtown Lantana. 

Some of the top producing agents at Posh Properties share their success stories and insight into the local real estate market. 

John Russo and Anthony Addeo are one of the 

newest POWEr teams at Posh Properties 

ohn and I originally started to work together because of similar 

“Jstyles and knowledge of the area. We share mutual contacts 

and have the same work ethic. John brings his vast database as well 

as knowledge of the locations; I handle the research, negotiations 

and paperwork,” said Anthony. 

“Together we have become the “go-to” team because of our 

knowledge and ability to deliver time and time again. At the office, 

we are the first ones in and last ones out. We have already contracted 

over $10,000,000 this year and have 4 new listings coming over 

the next 60 days,” They said, “Now is the time to buy a property before 

you miss out on what this area is becoming, this market is not 

likely to crash. We deal with too many out of town clients relocating 

to South Florida and making it their primary residence. Miami has 

now passed LA in the housing market, and we suspect will spread 

throughout the rest of the state.”

What is Happening? 

Old School Square 

Has Been All Over 

the News these Days 

The well-known non-profit that created Old School Square 

had its lease terminated in August. They were forced to vacate 

the property in February. Here are the Top Ten Things to 

Know about the Old School Square issue. 

Old School Square’s (OSS) lease was terminated by the City 

1 Commission after 32 years of service “without cause.” The public 

was given no notice and the item did not appear on the agenda. 

The vote was 3-2. 

2 

Despite invoking the “no cause” portion of the lease, a majority 

of commissioners have alleged that Old School Square fell 

out of compliance with the lease terms. OSS maintains that they are 

in compliance, have produced clean audits, and have been willing 

to talk to the city about any issues or concerns. OSS was late with 

audits because its auditors quit during the pandemic. But subsequently, 

a new auditing firm was hired, and OSS produced clean 

audits. 

OSS made many offers to meet with the City, which have been 

3 rejected. OSS made a settlement offer in January, but the offer 

wasn’t considered. Commissioners refused to talk about it among 

themselves, cancelling a scheduled session one hour before it was 

scheduled, citing lack of interest in settling. 

OSS programmed right up until the end, citing its desire to serve 

4 the community. The last concert was held in February. 

The city has alleged that a renovation of the Crest Theatre and 

the construction of a commercial kitchen for special events was 

5 

done without permission. OSS did receive a building permit for the 

renovations which were fully paid for by a donor: Margaret Blume. 

The project was halted one month before completion. Taxpayers 

will have to complete the theater and commercial kitchen. 

OSS paid for 75-80 percent of the costs of OSS operations and 

6 the CRA paid for the rest so OSS could provide below market 

rate events and programming including free Friday night concerts. 

Without the presence of a non-profit, the city would be responsible 

for 100 percent of the costs. Ticket sales, rentals and concession 

sales would offset some costs, but without a 501c3, donors would 

not be able to make tax-deductible contributions. 

The city issued an RFP (Request for Proposals) to take over 

7 the facilities (except for the Cornell Museum which went unaddressed) 

and nobody applied. 

At press time, the city was considering hiring a consultant to 

8 provide direction and help restart the facility. 

To date, there has been no effort to engage the community

9 

about the future of their cultural arts center despite the efforts 

of eight former mayors who sent a letter to the commission urging 

public involvement. 

The CRA, which was taken over by the City Commission, has 

10 so far failed to pay OSS for services already rendered. OSS 

may challenge that decision. 

What’s Next 

OSS has filed suit against the lease termination. OSS officials have 

said they would like to settle the case and continue serving the 

community. To date, a majority of the City Commission has shown 

no interest in settling or talking to OSS.

“The Delray Affair” 

By Roy M. Simon 

This year, the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce celebrates the 60th anniversary of 

the Delray Affair. Since its inception in 1962 as the Gladiola Festival, it has grown to be 

a much loved annual event celebrating the Arts and our town. Read on for a history of 

the Delray Affair by one of its founders, Roy Simon. 

Over the years, dating back to the late 1940’s, events have 

been held celebrating the farmers of the community and the 

local agricultural industry which is Delray’s heritage and 

was its economic base. 

Because the Delray area was the “Gladiola Capital of the World” 

in the 1940’s and 50’s, the Gladiola Festival was created during 

spring harvest to show off the product of the area. This Exposition 

was a huge event, drawing thousands to Delray from all over with 

large, glamorous Orange Bowl floats, bands, and beauty queens. It 

was a time when the gladiola farms of our area created a beautiful 

pallet of color as you headed west on Atlantic Avenue. As the 

gladiola farms became urban developments and vegetable farms, 

tourism became the focus of the area. 

To maintain ties with the agriculture industry and to arouse interest 

in its contributions to our economic vitality, the Chamber 

of Commerce introduced the “Agricultural Expo”. Chaired by Roy 

Simon, the first event was a small stand in the parking lot of First 

National Bank of Delray Beach (now SunTrust) on East Atlantic Avenue. 

The stand was furnished by Vic Neal, who helped prepare the 

display of the many varieties of fruit and vegetables grown in the 

area, in addition to flowers and nursery items. The Display provided 

information regarding the products grown and shipped from the 

area and the economic contributions of the agricultural community 

to the area and the county. 

Because of the enthusiasm of the farmers and the wonderful reception 

by the community, the second expo was a two-day event, 

held in the Delray Community Center gymnasium. The displays 

covered the entire floor of the gym and were filled with produce 

of every variety and proudly presented by the participating farms. 

The exhibits included livestock, which were displayed in the lawn 

between the Community Center and the tennis courts, ranging from 

hogs and chickens to Santa Gertrudas beef cattle. The variety and 

extent of the displays and the fact that all was local had many members 

of the community in a state of surprise and awe. 

Times continued to change and farms continued to be lost to 

more development. At the same time, the City and the area were 

growing, becoming the home of artists and authors, many of whom 

were nationally and internationally renowned. President of the 

Delray Chamber of Commerce, Roy Simon, recommended to the 

Chamber Board that the expo be expanded to an art festival, similar 

to the ones held in Winter Park, Florida. The concept was well 


received and President-elect John Bordeman volunteered to chair 

the committee. 

The first committee meeting was held at the Arcade Tap Room 

with members Andy Gent, Ken Ellingsworth, Buddy Merritt, artist 

Beth Simon, authors Nathaniel and Sylvia Weyl, artist Gay Drake 

and Chairman John Bordeman. Among the discussions was the 

naming of the event. Suggestions were “Delray Art Festival”, “Delray 

Art Affair”, etc. From there Andy Gent or Nathaniel Weyl joked, 

“Delray Affair”. After a brief discussion, all agreed that this festival 

of the arts should be named “The Delray Affair”. 

As an enhancement and to diversify, it was decided that the festival 

should include art, literature and music. The concept was to 

recognize the abundance of talent of the area and to bring in others 

from around the state and beyond. Events were designed to bring 

the communities closer together and to inform the public and local 

residents of the products grown in the area’s agricultural fields and 

of the creative artisans residing in the area. 

One feature of the arts festival was the “Literary Tea” held in the 

Delray Library. Gathered there were the many authors who made 

Delray their home, such as Theodore Pratt, Nathaniel Weyl and 

Laura Sinks Britt. This activity was a great success. Unfortunately, 

it was never repeated. 

To enhance the display of art along East Atlantic Avenue, a local 

grower provided hundreds of pots of mums which were set out 

like luminaries on both sides creating a half mile of floral color. 

Before the day was finished, most of the plants disappeared as 

people picked them up to take home, some in cars and others in 

pick-up trucks. It was the birth of selling the flowers for charity, 

instead of trying to display. Hence, the reintroduction of gladiolas 

as a trademark. 

Music and dance volunteers performed on several strategically 

located “stages”, and musicians strolled along Atlantic Avenue. It 

was a beautiful scene, well-received by the entire community. It 

worked and became so popular that the “Thieves Market” and 

crafts were added. The event became a fixture on the calendar for 

the first weekend after Easter, hoping to retain the snowbirds and 

tourists at least one more week. It has grown from a one block 

display to the current eight blocks-plus event. This new event, THE 

DELRAY AFFAIR that excited the entire community, has grown to 

become a top event of the Southeastern United States. 

May it continue and grow.

Bringing Light to Darkness 

The Gengel family learned firsthand 

how life can change in an instant. 

That instant was 12 years ago. 

It was then that 19-year-old Britney Gengel – daughter of Len 

and Cherylann – went to Haiti on a missionary trip to build 

houses with her classmates from Lynn University. 

But the houses never did get built. Instead, a catastrophic 7.0 

earthquake shook Haiti to its core and left 300,000 people dead 

and 180,000 homes destroyed. 

Unfortunately, Britney was one of the 300,000 who perished on 

that day. It also left the Gengel family bereft for their beloved Britney. 

“Brit was the ‘it’ girl. She had a beautiful soul inside and out 

and a smile that would melt anyone. She was a voice for those who 

did not have one,” said her father, Len. 

As a way to turn grief into gratitude the Gengel family sprang 

into action and created what is known as the “Be Like Brit Foundation.” 

The foundation’s first large undertaking was to build a 9.0 

earthquake-proof orphanage in Grand Goâve, Haiti. 

Though hope and loss were the underpinnings of this foundation, 

it is love and symbolism that has enclosed its vast grasp. Grand 

Goâve was the town that Britney was going to build houses in the 

day after the earthquake. The building is shaped like the letter “B,” 

and is 19,000-square-feet symbolizing Britney’s 19 years on earth. 

The non-adoptive orphanage is a place of love, education, nurturing, 

activities, and happiness for children that have lost their families 

in the earthquake or other calamities. There are 66 children in 

residence – 33 boys and 33 girls – which stand for the 33 days it 

took to recover Brit’s body from the rubble. 

In her 19 years Britney inspired her peers, her family and her 

classmates. She also found her calling in the wilderness and deprivation 

of Haiti. 

In a text to her mother just hours before the earthquake Brit 

had an epiphany. “They love us so much and everyone is so happy. 

They love what they have and they work so hard to get nowhere, 

yet they are all so appreciative. I want to move here and start an 

orphanage myself.” 

That is the sole reason why Len, a retired home builder from 

Rutland, Massachusetts took 39 trips to Haiti (over two years) to 

help build the orphanage in honor of Britney. 

He also moved to Delray Beach in 2014. So did his son Bernie, 

the VP of the Foundation and IT savant. “We chose Delray because 

Brit loved Delray and her brother Bernie really wanted an office 

in Delray,” said Len. 

They opened their first Florida office in the Delray Beach Chamber 

offices, and their Marketing Director, Diane Rosayn co-chairs 

the chamber’s Nonprofit Council program. 

The “Be like Brit” Orphanage is in full tilt with full-time support 

staff, teachers and security staff under the direction of Manmi 

Love Pun, whose husband Johny Pun was a Delray police officer 

killed on his motorcycle. 

For years the foundation also invited guests to help build homes 

in Haiti and experience the beauty of its origin. Called the “Britsionary 

Program” over 1,800 people have built over 145 houses in Haiti. 

Delray Chamber’s Program Director Lynn Van Lenten was one 

of them. “Len and his family did something with their grief I have 

never seen before – they took Britney’s dream and saved 66 kids 

(and others) with this orphanage. Be Like Brit adopted each child, 

ensuring security for a lifetime. 

My husband and I stayed at Brit’s Home, got to know the kids, 

helped build a house and experienced the gift of love, safety and a 

future that Be Like Brit has given each child.” 

If you talk to Len or Bernie, you realize that these are not just 

children from Haiti being sheltered in place. They are considered 

part of the Gengel family. “The Brit Foundation kids really saved me. 

After losing my sister I kept coming back to Haiti to do good and 

continue Brit’s compassion full time. I have 66 nieces and nephews 

– the kids call me Uncle Bernie or Ton Ton Bernie.” 

Len also sees these children as an ethereal conduit to goodness 

and grace. “Our kids healed my soul. If we can make the world a 

little better place before we leave this earth, then we have accomplished 

great things. That’s my goal for our children.” 

As a way to empower the children even more they are building a 

house in Northwest Delray so the children can come to the U.S. and 

attend college or get jobs. 

“This six-bedroom home will be a place our children can call 

home as they go to college in the states. It’s in a Haitian neighborhood 

and will be an extension of Brit’s Home in Haiti. It’s a metaphorical 

bridge from Grand Goâve to Delray Beach,” adds Len. 

Just last month the Delray Beach Habitat for Humanity reached 

out to help build the “House of Love” (as Len calls it) on NW 11th 

Avenue. 

The Be Like Brit Foundation has also built homes in Haiti for residents, 

employed local workers and gives away clean water from its 

nanotechnology water filtration system. Bernie also created a social 

media site for the kids called Britnett. 

This heart rendering story about the Gengel family and its mission 

to create diamonds out of destiny is documented in a book 

written by Len and Cherylann called, “Heartache and Hope in Haiti.” 

There is also an outstanding YouTube Video that shows the children, 

the beautiful grounds, and the outpouring of love during poignant 

moments at the “Be Like Brit” compound in Haiti. 

You can move mountains - and create wonders in the name of 

love - Just ask Len, Bernie and Cherylann. “When Be Like Brit started 

it was a way to honor my sister. It also kept my family together 

and gave us a lot of hope. And it has,” said Bernie.

Homemade Food Made to Please You 

IL CONTADINO RISTORANTE 

Michel Menna is a people 

pleaser – in a foodie kind of way. 

He dotes on his customers with homemade Italian fare at his 

intimate restaurant in Pineapple Grove. 

The restaurant, Il Contadino is a place where people 

come to celebrate holidays, birthdays or just want to luxuriate in 

the pampering and power of a homemade Italian meal. 

Menna likes when his patrons call ahead to tell him what foods 

they prefer. That way he has time to create the perfect version of 

their favorite dishes with élan. 


Veal Siciliana 

Ken Chiarella came to Il Contadino with his mother Marilyn 

(who was celebrating a milestone birthday) and three of his 

friends. All are snowbirds and find themselves smitten with the 

culinary prowess of Menna. 

“Michel puts out food that is second to none. Everything is personalized 

and fresh, and the flavors are distinct and amazing. Every 

time we come here, he asks us what we want, and then he 

prepares it beautifully.” 

When Ken’s mom Marilyn asked for lamb chops for her birthday 

dinner, Menna didn’t have them. But within an hour they 

mysteriously appeared in front of her with all the trimmings. She 

beamed with delight as her son looked on with amazement and 

accolades fit for a prince. 

“I have been to the best restaurants in New York and Italy and 

Michel is as good as all of them. I always tell the truth; this place 

is amazing.” 

Others feel the same way. “Do not walk past this place when you 

visit downtown Delray. If you’re a true foodie tell Owner/Chef Michel 

you want to try the meatball first and you will be blown away! 

Then enjoy dinner and very fine wines! Support your local chef, 

there’s no one better!” 

Some of the dishes that Ken and his guests (Sam and Judy Maruca) 

had are steeped in Italian tradition and prepared artfully and 

tastefully. They raved about the artichoke hearts basted in garlic 

with a wine sauce, sprinkled with Reggiano cheese. As lovers of 

homemade Italian food, the group feasted on Zuppa di Mussels in 

a light tomato sauce with clam broth, as well as Cowboy Rib-Eye 

COPYRIGHTED

Peperonata with peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms in a 

red tomato sauce. 

Cooking has been a passion of Menna’s since he was a tot. When 

his parents were away, he would go into the kitchen and create 

gourmet dishes for them. “My parents would come home and say, 

‘who catered this meal.’ I could barely reach the stove, but I loved 

cooking, it’s always been my creative outlet.” 

His guests can tell. “This pasta made me feel like I was in Italy. 

We have been here so many times and it’s always wonderful,” said 

Maruca. His wife Judy was all smiles as the spaghetti with anchovies, 

garlic, olive oil, and breadcrumbs came to the table. 

One of Menna’s finest dishes is his tequila tortellini, prepared 

tableside in a flame-lit pan that sparks the tequila to adhere to the 

creamy light sauce. Add that to the peas, prosciutto, and Reggiano 

cheese, and you have a delicious pasta that hails from the greats. 

It seems Michel is always on the prowl for new dishes and new 

experiences. After all, he has been in the restaurant business for 40 

years. Just recently he tasted potato latkes from another restaurant. 

Not impressed he quickly got out his frying pan and tried his hand 

at this ethnic dish. What he came up with is a potato latke lover’s 

dream. Tasty, crispy, and fresh, they seemed to disappear as quick as 

they came to the table. He also added sour cream to the center fold. 

For Marilyn’s birthday, Menna cooked up a rack of lamb with 

roasted garlic and rosemary. It was a dream dish, she said. And she 

ought to know. The Boynton Beach resident cooked delicious authentic 

Italian meals for her family for years. 

For Michel time does not stop. Though the restaurant business 

has been hard hit by the pandemic he continues to experiment in 

new ways to please guests. “I will be open for breakfast if people 

want me to. I make great omelets with fresh vegetables and other 

style egg dishes. People just have to call me.” 

Menna is also making fresh pizzas with all the trimmings of the 

pizza heritage. There is a difference between pizza and homemade 

pizza, and Michel wants to show everyone the difference. Also 

new at Il Contadino are fresh paninis and wraps with meats, fresh 

cheese, lettuce and tomato. 

Other outstanding dishes are Pork Osso Bucco that is braised all 

day with tomatoes and vegetables as well Mozzarella En Carrozza. 

If you are a fish lover, try the whole Branzini, baked with garlic and 

wine, delicately cooked. 

If you are celebrating a special occasion Menna will prepare 

Cowboy Ribeye Steak Pepperonata 

homemade dishes for as many people can fit inside this intimate 

space. He also has over a thousand different wines from around the 

globe waiting to be opened. 

The Chiaprella and Maruca clan had a bottle of Napa Valley Eagle 

Eye red wine that was divine. Full-bodied and smooth to the palate, 

it was an excellent choice. Whatever your wine preference is, 

Menna will make it happen. 

That might be another reason people love dining there. “Michael 

and his staff take the farm to table concept to new heights. I had 

Eggplant Napoleon, wow. A fresh and delicious take on eggplant 

rollatini. His presentation of veal cutlet with eggplant gave new life 

to an old favorite – it was amazing. Topped it off with cannoli and 

cappuccino. Best ever. This place is the real deal,” said Doug. 

It’s comments like Doug’s that makes Michel smile. It is also what 

makes his passion flame – not only table side – but inside his heart.

Corned Beef Irish Feast 

Mouthwatering tender corned beef with corned beef 

flavored potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. This is great 

served with both Irish soda bread and corn bread. 

ingredients 

• 1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet 

• 1 cup brown sugar 

• 4 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles Irish stout beer 

(such as Guinness®), or more if needed 

• 1 quart beef stock 

• 1 onion, peeled 

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled 

• 2 bay leaves 

• 12 whole black peppercorns 

• 2 pounds red potatoes, quartered 

• 1 (16 ounce) package carrots, cut into sticks 

• 1 head cabbage, cut into wedges 

directions 

1. Rinse brisket thoroughly in cool water and place into a 

large Dutch oven. Generously coat beef with brown sugar 

on all sides. Pour Irish stout beer around roast, followed 

by beef stock. Liquid should cover brisket by about 1 inch; 

add another beer if more liquid is needed. 

2. Place onion, garlic, bay leaves, spike packet from 

corned beef, and peppercorns into liquid. Bring to a boil, 

reduce heat to low, and cover Dutch oven. Simmer for 2 

1/2 hours, turning brisket over in the beer mixture every 

30 minutes. Place potatoes and carrots around roast, 

cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add cabbage wedges 

and simmer until tender, about 10 more minutes. Brisket 

should easily pull apart with your fingers or a fork. 

3. Transfer vegetables to a serving bowl and place corned 

beef on a serving platter; let meat rest 10 minutes before 

slicing across the grain to serve.

• 2 pounds lean ground lamb 

• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour 

• salt and ground black pepper to taste 

• 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary 

• 1 teaspoon paprika 

• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon 

• 1 tablespoon ketchup 

• 3 cloves garlic, minced 

• 2 ½ cups water, or as needed 

• 1 (12 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots, thawed 

• 2 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and halved 

• 1 tablespoon butter 

• 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper 

• ¼ cup cream cheese

cooks, about 10 minutes. 

3. Stir in flour until incorporated, then 

mix in salt, black pepper, rosemary, 

paprika, cinnamon, ketchup, and 

garlic; cook and stir until garlic is 

fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. 

4. Stir in water and scrape up any

heat to medium, and cook until tender, 

about 15 minutes. Drain well and 

return potatoes to pan. 

8. Mash butter, cayenne pepper, cream 

cheese, and Irish cheese into the 

potatoes. Mash until combined and 

potatoes are smooth. Season to taste 

with salt and black pepper. 

9. Whisk together egg yolk and milk 

in a small bowl; stir into the mashed 

potato mixture. 

10. Top the lamb mixture in the baking 

dish with the mashed potatoes and 

spread evenly to cover. 

11. Bake in the preheated oven until 

the top is golden brown and sauce is 

bubbling up around the edges, 25 to 

30 minutes.

Amazingly Easy 

Irish Soda Bread 

A good old fashioned soda bread with 

just the basic ingredients. Buttermilk 

gives this crusty loaf a good flavor. 

ingredients 

• 4 cups all-purpose flour 

• 4 tablespoons white sugar 

• 1 teaspoon baking soda 

• 1 tablespoon baking powder 

• ½ teaspoon salt 

• ½ cup margarine, softened 

• 1 cup buttermilk 

• 1 egg 

• ¼ cup butter, melted 

• ¼ cup buttermilk 

directions 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees 

C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet. 

2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, 

baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. 

Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough 

out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 

slightly. Form dough into a round and place on 

prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine 

melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush 

loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 

‘X’ into the top of the loaf. 

3. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick 

inserted into the center of the loaf comes out 

clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Check for doneness after 

30 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf 

with the butter mixture while it bakes.

• ¼ cup sour cream 

• ⅛ teaspoon lemon juice 

• 5 large Granny Smith apples - 

peeled, cored and sliced 

• ½ cup white sugar 

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 

• ½ tablespoon ground nutmeg 

• ⅛ teaspoon lemon juice 

• 1 egg, beaten 

directions 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch 

pie pan. 

2. To Make Crust: In a large bowl, combine flours, salt and sugar. 

Cut in butter and shortening until coarse crumbs are formed. Mix 

in sour cream and lemon juice. Keep mixing until dough forms a 

ball; dough may be slightly lumpy, this is fine. Wrap dough ball in 

plastic wrap and allow to chill for 1 hour. 

3. Once chilled, take dough out of refrigerator and cut it in half; 

keep one half covered and in the refrigerator. Roll dough to 1/8 

of an inch. To lift pie shell, roll dough around rolling pin and then 

unroll into pie pan. Trim overhanging edges of pie crust. 

4. To Make Filling: Place apples into pie shell. In a small bowl, 

combine sugar, flour and nutmeg; mix thoroughly. Sprinkle 

mixture over apples. Squirt lemon juice over apples. Place pie in 

refrigerator while top crust is rolled out. 

5. Remove pie from refrigerator. Brush outer edge of bottom crust 

with beaten egg. Place second crust on top of pie; crimp pie shell 

edges together. Brush entire top crust with egg and cut 4 steam 

slots into it. 

6. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes, or until 

golden brown. Allow pie to completely cool before serving. Serve 

warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and (Irish) coffee.

When Do I Need to 

See My Veterinarian? 

We are faced with this question on a daily basis as most pet 

owners do not trust their own instincts and judgment. 

The person that knows the most about their pet is YOU, 

the pet parent. We all understand that when our pet has an off day, 

whether it is lack of appetite, loose stool, vomiting, itching or so 

many other symptoms, we tend to panic. Why do we panic? 

The real reason is that we have elevated our pets to family status 

which means we have brought our own values into their lives. 

While we celebrate these upgrades, we should also follow a more 

humane treatment regimen for our pets. First and foremost, we 

must understand that the physiological requirements of our pets 

are much different than what humans are. This is why it is so important 

that we use resources available such as these pages to learn 

more about the requirements that our pets need. Their physiology 

dictates a different nutritional program than what we require. We 

also have to weigh the disease and pathogen threats that are very 

different than those of ours. 

Obviously, veterinary attention is always necessary in the case of a 

known acute trauma or injury. Major cuts, accidents, possible broke 

bones and internal injuries definitely need emergency care. Possible 

poisoning and medication adverse events also should be verified. 

However, we must ask if our over reactions to minor changes in 

our pet’s behavior and health put the veterinary providers in an 

awkward position? We need to understand that they are trained in 

medicine like human medical providers. Their expertise is in medical 

treatments. They are normally not trained in nutrition, health 

and behavior sciences. It is not required or often not offered in the 

veterinary curriculum at veterinary schools and universities. As 

a result, most veterinarians do not have the expertise that one is 

looking for in holistic alternatives. 

Your pet’s health is your responsibility! You should know as 

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

much of your pet’s history as possible so you can make informed 

decisions. With rescues, normally you only know that they have 

had every vaccination that the administering veterinarian recommended 

without knowledge of any previous medical history. We 

also know that the diet is that of commercially prepared pet foods 

of various brands and qualities which we know have a profound 

effect on overall health. 

While we understand that you are looking for knowledge for 

your pet’s health, I ask you this, is a medical doctor that is trained 

in medical procedures and drugs the best source for your pet’s 

health? Pet food companies are product companies, not health venues. 

Medicine, drug companies can be very helpful for treating specific 

symptoms; however, do they actually cure disease? 

The bottom line to this article is that veterinary care has become 

very expensive. On so many levels, we expect our veterinarians to 

be experts in choices that they may not even have the expertise 

to offer advice. They are the experts in medicine emergency care. 

Health is a pet parent’s responsibility. We are here as nutritionists 

to help guide you through our ongoing education and research. 

Follow us here and on our podcasts at iHeart.com Pet Health 

Café for the information and education you need to provide your 

pet with the optimal health and life that they deserve.

and ear scratches! I’ll be good company, so 

let’s move in together today! 

I’m cassy and I’m sassy (See what I did 

there?). I put on my shiny blue collar to look 

gorgeous when we meet. I’m 2 years old, 

current on all my vaccines, and spayed. I’m 

happy to be safe here after my rescue, but I 

dream of a real home of my own and someone 

to adore me. Let’s meet!

“HOME IS NOT 

A PLACE BUT 

A FEELING” 

Located in Delray Beach, a vibrant seaside town in southeast Florida filled 

with art galleries, upscale shops and fine restaurants, Siréne Villas is a 

collection of six townhouses conceived as a haven of understated 

sophistication and discrete luxury. Taking a cue from the town’s thriving art 

scene, the architects drew inspiration from Cote d'Azur, a magical corner 

of southern France known as much for its eternally summery allure as for 

the long list of illustrious painters like Matisse, Chagall, and Picasso who 

made it their home. The six townhouses channel the soulful charm and 

artistic heritage of the French Riviera through a poised, pared down 

aesthetic of minimalist purity and sculptural rigour. 

COPYRIGHTED 

Underpinned by a sense of openness and lightness, the interiors are a 

paradigm of understatement with a soothing color palette of white, 

cream and earthy tones complementing natural materials and exquisitely 

crafted details. Combined with all the amenities you’d expect in a luxury 

property, Siréne Villas are a serene retreat of timeless modernity and 

heightened refinement.
