This year, as the free indoor festival returns on Saturday,<br />

<strong>March</strong> 19 following an absence due to the COVID 19 pandemic,<br />

it arrives with an added importance.<br />

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

Berkowitz-Schwartz, the founder and president of All<br />

People’s Day (APD). “Because of the situation in the world<br />

right now, many people are against one another instead of being<br />

for each other.”<br />

with representatives from many different cULTUres<br />

Bringing people together to share cultures has been the goal<br />

of the festival, which Berkowitz-Schwartz ran in New Jersey for<br />

35 years before bringing it to Delray Beach.<br />

“In order to make the world a better place, we have to find<br />

out about people who are different from us,” she said. “The<br />

13th Annual All People’s Day Diversity Festival will be a day<br />

of fun but it is also an opportunity to connect with people of<br />

diverse cultures. All People’s Day is really about learning from<br />

one another through the arts.”<br />

Presented by All People’s Day Inc., the Lake Worth Interfaith<br />

Network and the Delray Beach Parks and Recreation Department,<br />

the festival features free admission, free arts and crafts<br />

and even free food from several cultural restaurants.<br />

When Delray Beach Kiwanis Club learned that a mother<br />

and her five children had to flee their home after a fire in<br />

a nearby apartment, members sprang into action.<br />

Little did the Kiwanians know at the time that they would<br />

also be helping a second Delray Beach family pay forward a<br />

good deed done by club members decades earlier.<br />

The club, which supports organizations throughout the community<br />

– with an emphasis on those benefiting children and<br />

families – discovered that a couple of the families displaced<br />

by the blaze had children attending Orchard View Elementary<br />

School, which the club had “adopted” years before.<br />

Working with the school’s principal – fellow Kiwanian Danielle<br />

Garcia – members withdrew $300 from the club treasury<br />

to buy clothing and other items for the family members who<br />

were temporarily staying with relatives.<br />

It was when the Jenkins family was able to move back into<br />

its apartment that club members Ezra Krieg and Peggy Kellelocals<br />

only | in the NEWS<br />

all made from the same materials and therefore we should all<br />

be treated with equal respect,” she said.<br />

The Symbol activity takes the form of a family mural. The<br />

young participants draw representations of their own families<br />

connecting with one another. “We believe we’re all one family,”<br />

Berkowitz-Schwartz said.<br />

Origami Peace Cranes will be made throughout the day representing<br />

the poignant tale of a young Japanese girl’s wish for<br />

peace among nations. According to legend if 1,000 cranes are<br />

folded a wish will be granted. In addition there will be a onehour<br />

presentation by the Morikami Museum about the cranes.<br />

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

says.<br />

The festival also includes more than 50 interactive merchandise<br />

booths featuring a diverse mix of things to see and do. Kids<br />

will find additional free arts projects such as puppet making<br />

with a stage to perform and face painting. Teens and adults enjoy<br />

hands on issue-based activities including interactive word<br />

games by nonprofits, a health fair, an Issues Mural, and an opportunity<br />

to take a selfie with life-size diversity figures. Also present<br />

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

Sponsors of the festival include Lake Worth Interfaith Network,<br />

Esterman Eye Institute, Haitian American Culture Day,<br />

Greenberg Elder Law Services, Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics,<br />

Heal the Planet, Humana, A&H Automotive and WiseTribe.<br />

her reached out to the community through<br />

Facebook and email asking for donations of<br />

clothing, furniture, and furnishings.<br />

“The response was amazing,” Kelleher<br />

said. the club member who helped coordinate<br />

the effort. “I received at least 50 calls<br />

and emails from people wanting to know<br />

how they could help.”<br />

While all of the contribution were well<br />

received and greatly appreciated, it was the<br />

donation from Laurie Zuniga and her husband<br />

Frank that really stood out.<br />

The Zunigas were in the process of clearing<br />

out their daughter Jackie’s nearby apartment<br />

following her death from COVID related<br />

pneumonia a few weeks earlier, when Laurie<br />

saw the Kiwanis’ posting on Facebook.<br />

It was while she was on the phone with<br />

Kelleher that Zuniga discovered the same Kiwanis<br />

group had helped the struggling family<br />

in the early 1990 by paying their electric<br />

bill for several months while Jackie was recovering<br />

from a kidney transplant that had<br />

drained the family’s savings.<br />

“I just couldn’t believe it,” Zuniga said.<br />

“I thought what a blessing and the timing<br />

couldn’t have been more perfect. Now another<br />

family could have Jackie’s furniture. I<br />

was thrilled because we could pay it forward<br />

through the same organization that helped<br />

us out years ago.”<br />

Early in February a small army of volunteers<br />

led by Kiwanians loaded many of the<br />

items from the apartment onto a trailer provided<br />

by Exhilaride Golf Cart Rentals and delivered<br />

them to Elethia Jenkins and her family.<br />

“My husband and I are so happy that<br />

tragedies,” Laurie Zuniga said. “We<br />

feel heaven definitely played a part in the<br />

bringing together all those involved. Just<br />

like the person who so selflessly donated<br />

their kidney to help our daughter, it is so<br />

comforting to know that, through Jackie,<br />

we could be of help to another family. We<br />

wish them many blessings.”<br />

Other donations from the community included<br />

everything from a television set and<br />

a rug to a full living room set and small appliances.<br />

The club also received gift cards<br />

for the family.<br />

“We are so grateful to everyone who<br />

helped with donation and who made it<br />

possible for the Jenkins family to be able to<br />

move back home,” Kelleher said.<br />

The Kiwanis club is still accepting donations.<br />

POSH PROPERTIES<br />

BY Jeremy Charles<br />

Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Jeremy Charles, an adopted<br />

member of the Floridian family. I relocated to Palm Beach from<br />

a small Caribbean Island a few miles off the coast of Florida<br />

back in 2001. As a kid I can recall involuntarily waking up one<br />

Saturday morning at 7am to start my workday because my 3 older<br />

biological sisters refused to babysit. To my surprise it was a blessing<br />

in disguise. On our way to work my mom drove through this siren and<br />

tropical road, (A1A), to get to the Residence Inn by Marriot on the<br />

corner of <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong> and Seabreeze <strong>Ave</strong>. I remember escaping my<br />

duties to explore the <strong>Ave</strong> and admire Lady <strong>Atlantic</strong>. Like an attractive<br />

woman with many admirers, I have been in love with the city of Delray<br />

Beach since then. Choosing a career in Real estate should derive<br />

from the same unrelenting passion instead of the “love of looking<br />

at beautiful houses and being good with people.” One must have<br />

grit to persist during improbable outcomes, an insatiable desire for<br />

development of their craft, and a genuine interest in getting to know<br />

people with the objective of matching them with the right home.<br />

locals only | delray under $50<br />

By Darien Davies<br />

Delray Under $50<br />

Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels<br />

Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple<br />

Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more<br />

to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings<br />

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can<br />

seem expensive at times, there’s a great<br />

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer<br />

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can<br />

do in Delray Beach in <strong>March</strong> for $50 or less.<br />

Break out the green or you’re getting pinched! That’s right,<br />

folks, it’s time once again for the meanest, greenest St. Patrick’s<br />

Day party this side of the rainbow, and everyone’s invited<br />

to paint the town green. Even though St. Patrick’s Day falls<br />

on Thursday, <strong>March</strong> 17 this year, the party is getting started<br />

the Saturday prior (you know, so we can all keep our jobs<br />

on Friday). The City of Delray Beach’s<br />

St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival<br />

has proudly enjoyed a<br />

52-year history and provides<br />

fun-filled entertainment for all<br />

ages and backgrounds. The parade<br />

features more than 70 entries<br />

comprised of floats, schools,<br />

businesses, community groups,<br />

non-profits, elected officials, United<br />

States Veterans, fire engines, motorcycles,<br />

Pipes and Drums, marching<br />

bands, first responders, Irish heritage societies<br />

and other ethnic groups. This first<br />

responder-themed St. Patrick’s Day Parade<br />

is truly Florida’s premiere hometown parade!<br />

The parade is held from 12 to 2pm<br />

beginning at the Intracoastal Waterway<br />

and heading west on <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue to<br />

Northwest Fifth <strong>Ave</strong>nue. After the parade,<br />

head to the festival, located at Old School<br />

Square and held from 1 to 7pm. Both the<br />

parade and festival are free, family-friendly<br />

events that draw in crowds from not only Delray<br />

Beach and its neighboring cities, but from<br />

around the world. You can expect to enjoy live<br />

music, food trucks, food booths, vendors, merchandise,<br />

games, Pipes and Drums and so much<br />

more! Visit www.stpatsdelray.com or call (561)<br />

243-7452 for more information.<br />

After 13 years of being in the know, you’d<br />

think you’d have a front-row seat, right?<br />

Ha! That’s not the hustling and bustling<br />

Savor the <strong>Ave</strong>nue way. But, have no fear, a good<br />

idea is near. <strong>March</strong> is International Ideas Month<br />

and even though the delicious Savor the <strong>Ave</strong>nue<br />

event is out of our DU50 budget and reach (it<br />

has been sold out practically since the moment<br />

tickets went on sale), that doesn’t mean you<br />

have to miss the entire event. The beauty of the<br />

dining experience is that <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue is closed,<br />

and all the tables and wild decorations are set<br />

up in the street. So, if people watching is your<br />

thing, as well as sipping delicious cocktails<br />

while perusing tablescapes, then grab the<br />

pals and enjoy the event from start to finish.<br />

This dining destination is held Monday,<br />

<strong>March</strong> 28 from 5:30 to 9pm and includes a<br />

champagne toast and four courses, served from<br />

some of Delray’s most notable restaurants. The<br />

best part is that participating restaurants, and other<br />

local restaurants along the <strong>Ave</strong>nue, are still open for regular<br />

dining, so you can mix and mingle to your heart and stomach’s<br />

content. If you like what you see, make a note to book<br />

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

year.) Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561)<br />

Sure, it can be difficult to be optimistic nowadays. Are<br />

we still dealing with COVID, is it safe to be super social,<br />

what’s the long-term plan with my job, etc. etc.<br />

etc. But there are reasons to be optimistic everyday, and<br />

that’s not just coming from Deepak Chopra. <strong>March</strong> is Optimism<br />

Month and it’s a great time to tune into the optimistic<br />

part of your brain and head out into the land<br />

of possibilities. If you need somewhere specific to go,


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

<strong>March</strong> 19 from 11am to 3pm at Pompey Park, this free<br />

event is a celebration of Delray’s community members. Created<br />

to showcase the many cultures that make Delray Beach one of<br />

the most diverse communities in South Florida, the All People’s<br />

Day Diversity Festival is a free indoor event that features as<br />

many as 15 musical and dance performances. Committed to<br />

highlighting all people, all cultures and all traditions, the festival<br />

offers free food from different cultural restaurants as well<br />

as 50 booths that include Origami Peace Crane folding, puppet<br />

making and other children’s activities as well as hands-on word<br />

and art games for teens and adults from many non-profits. So<br />

come on out and celebrate the optimism and positivity of the<br />

community! Pompey Park is located at 1101 N.W. Second St.<br />

for more information.<br />

Long noodles equal a long life, right? There’s only one way<br />

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

<strong>March</strong> is National Noodle Month and is a delightful time<br />

to carb load for a cause. Sure, you could go the spaghetti route,<br />

but think outside the box and order the bowl instead. Lemongrass<br />

Asian Bistro invites you to indulge in delightful noodlebased<br />

dishes. Maybe the Duck Noodle Soup, made with housebraised<br />

five spice long island duck, fresh rice noodles, bean<br />

sprouts, garlic, basil and bok choy in duck broth ($19) sounds<br />

like something you could get down on. Or maybe the Drunken<br />

Udon Noodles with stir-fried thick chewy wheat noodles, onion,<br />

chili jam, garlic, Thai basil, red peppers, asparagus and<br />

scallions ($18) tickles your fancy. You can really bring it home<br />

with the Mongolian Udon Noodle entree, with marinated Mongolian<br />

steak, stir fried with thick chewy wheat noodles, chili<br />

jam, garlic, Thai basil, red peppers, onions and scallions ($29).<br />

Whatever your noodle pleasure, Lemongrass is sure to deliver.<br />

Lemongrass Asian Bistro is located at 420 E. <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>. Visit<br />

www.lemongrassasianbistrodelraybeach.com or call (561)<br />

278-5050 for more information.<br />

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

that it is! <strong>March</strong> is National Nutrition Month and not<br />

that you have to always eat right, or always take the stairs,<br />

or always opt for no butter on your movie theater popcorn (if<br />

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

every now and again. To make this goal less daunting for you,<br />

and since no one really knows how to cook tofu anyway, the<br />

lovely chefs at our downtown eateries are here for you and your<br />

BMI. Head to Elisabetta’s for lunch and lovingly sink your teeth<br />

into their Quinoa and Grilled Chicken Salad, made with gorgonzola<br />

dolce, seasonal vegetables, fingerling potatoes, walnut<br />

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

plates for dinner will do the trick. They’re dishing out tuna with<br />

shallot, garlic, and chili oil; salmon with avocado, micro cilantro,<br />

and pickled jalapeños; and hamachi with ponzu, jalapeño,<br />

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

Farmhouse Kitchen’s Nut & Seed Crusted Chicken, with roasted<br />

Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, cauliflower, and mustard vinaigrette<br />

for $26 is sure to hit the spot. Regardless of your selections,<br />

going the nutritious route has never been more delicious<br />

and more doable. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call<br />

(561) 243-1077 for more information and restaurant locations.<br />

19th Annual Delray Beach Home Tour<br />

in Scenic Lake Ida Neighborhood<br />

Several homeowners in Delray Beach’s beautiful Lake Ida<br />

Neighborhood will be opening their doors to visitors during<br />

the 19th Annual Delray Beach Home Tour benefiting Achievement<br />

Centers for Children & Families (ACCF) on Wednesday, <strong>March</strong><br />

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

opportunity to see exquisite interiors of homes and gardens.<br />

During the tour, which attracts visitors from throughout South<br />

Florida, guests can enjoy a leisurely day exploring unique residences,<br />

a catered luncheon and trolley service between homes.<br />

All Home Tour ticket sales and sponsorships benefit ACCF, which<br />

supports children and families throughout Delray Beach and the<br />

surrounding neighborhoods. At ACCF children are involved in Early<br />

Learning (Toddler and Preschool), Out-of-School (After School and<br />

Summer Camp), and Teen Mentoring programs that prepare them<br />

for academic and social success and empower them to discover<br />

their talents. ACCF families are served through programs like Family<br />

Strengthening and Economic Stabilization, which benefit the<br />

community by helping families in crisis; enabling them to serve as<br />

the foundation of their child’s growth.<br />

The Home Tour was first conceived by long-time ACCF board<br />

members and supporters Anne Bright and Barbara Murphy.<br />

Planning for the home tour, which draws more than 600 visitors<br />

annually, involves more than 100 dedicated volunteers.<br />

Despite their best efforts, ACCF had to cancel the Home Tour<br />

in 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the<br />

generosity of ACCF supporters, funds<br />

donated to Home Tour the past two<br />

years were critical for ACCF’s children<br />

and families.<br />

Tickets for the Delray Home Tour<br />

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

COVID-19 safety protocols will be in<br />

place at Home Tour. For more information,<br />

to purchase tickets, or become<br />

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

Gotta See<br />

entertainment | GOTTa SEE By lisa marie<br />

march 4<br />

<strong>March</strong> 11<br />

► The Batman Dubbed “The Bat and The Cat” about the Batman<br />

vs Catwoman feud in the movie. In his second year of fighting crime,<br />

Batman (Robert Pattinson) uncovers corruption in Gotham City<br />

that connects to his own family while facing a serial killer known<br />

as the Riddler. Andy Serkis as Alfred, Zoe Kravitz as “Catwoman,”<br />

Jeffrey Wright as Gordon, plus Colin Farrell as Cobblepot, Paul<br />

Dano as Nashton, and John Turturro as Falcone.<br />

► After Yang (Theaters + Showtime) When his young daughter’s<br />

beloved companion - an android named Yang (Justin H. Min) -<br />

malfunctions, Jake (Colin Farrell) searches for a way to repair<br />

him. In the process, Jake discovers the life that has been passing in<br />

front of him, reconnecting with his wife (Jodie Turner-Smith) and<br />

daughter across a distance he didn’t know was there.<br />

► Great Freedom (Theaters) Based on a true story about a<br />

prisoner in post-war Germany, Hans is imprisoned again and<br />

again for being homosexual. The one steady relationship in his<br />

life becomes his long-time cell mate, Viktor, a convicted murderer.<br />

What starts in revulsion grows to something called love. The film<br />

stars award-winning German actor Franz Rogowski as Hans, Georg<br />

Friedrich as Viktor, plus Anton von Lucke, and Thomas Prenn.<br />

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

actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice in Turning Red to Mei Lee, a<br />

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

gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices<br />

Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who<br />

is never far from her daughter - an unfortunate reality for the<br />

teenager. Turning Red is both written and directed by Chinese-<br />

Canadian animation filmmaker Domee Shi.<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

► Gold (Theaters) When two drifters traveling through the<br />

desert stumble across the biggest gold nugget ever found, the<br />

dream of immense wealth and greed takes hold. They hatch a<br />

plan to protect and excavate their bounty with one man leaving<br />

to secure the necessary equipment. The other remains and must<br />

endure harsh desert elements, ravenous wild dogs, and mysterious<br />

intruders, whilst battling the sinking suspicion that he has been<br />

abandoned to his own fate. Zac Efron co-stars with Anthony Hayes,<br />

who also directs the film.<br />

(Sandra Bullock) has spent her career writing about exotic places<br />

in her popular romance-adventure novels featuring handsome<br />

cover model Alan (Channing Tatum), who has dedicated his life to<br />

embodying the hero character, “Dash.” While on tour promoting<br />

her new book with Alan, Loretta is kidnapped by an eccentric<br />

billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) who hopes that she can lead him to<br />

the ancient lost city’s treasure from her latest story. Wanting to<br />

prove that he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages<br />

of her books, Alan sets off to rescue her. Thrust into an epic jungle<br />

adventure, the unlikely pair will need to work together to survive<br />

the elements and find the ancient treasure before it’s lost forever.<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

► Alice (Theaters) The film stars Keke Palmer as Alice, an<br />

enslaved person yearning for freedom on a rural Georgia plantation<br />

under its brutal and disturbed owner Paul (Jonny Lee Miller).<br />

After a violent clash with Paul, she flees through the neighboring<br />

woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon<br />

discovering the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside<br />

by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice<br />

quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and<br />

the promise of Black liberation. Inspired by true accounts, Alice is<br />

a modern empowerment fable tracing Alice’s journey through the<br />

post-Civil Rights Era American South.<br />

► Mothering Sunday On a warm spring day in 1924, house maid<br />

and foundling Jane Fairchild (Odessa Young) finds herself alone<br />

on Mother’s Day. Her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Niven (Colin Firth<br />

and Olivia Colman) are out and she has the rare chance to spend an<br />

afternoon of abandon with her secret lover, Paul (Josh O’Connor),<br />

the boy from the manor house nearby who is Jane’s long-term<br />

romantic love despite the fact that he’s engaged to be married to<br />

another woman, a childhood friend and daughter of his parents’<br />

friends. But events that neither can foresee will change the course<br />

of Jane’s life forever.<br />

returns to celebrate the release of her<br />

newest CD “Time to Love Again,” an eclectic<br />

mix of jazz standards and reimagined<br />

pop tunes that showcase Henry’s soulful<br />

interpretations. Whether burning through<br />

a swing tune or gently crooning a ballad,<br />

The Night Shift<br />

by Alex Finlay<br />

Released <strong>March</strong> 1st<br />

It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected<br />

to end in chaos: planes falling from the<br />

sky, elevators plunging to earth, world<br />

markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse.<br />

None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster<br />

Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working<br />

late at the store are attacked. Only one<br />

inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify<br />

a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the<br />

victims, who flees and is never seen again.<br />

Fifteen years later, more teenage<br />

employees are attacked at an ice cream<br />

store in the same town, and again only one<br />

makes it out alive.<br />

In the aftermath of the latest crime,<br />

three lives intersect: the lone survivor of<br />

the Blockbuster massacre who’s forced<br />

to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the<br />

brother of the fugitive accused, who’s<br />

convinced the police have the wrong<br />

suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who<br />

must delve into the secrets of both nights -<br />

stirring up memories of teen love and lies<br />

- to uncover the truth about murders on<br />

the night shift.<br />

The Book of Cold<br />

Cases<br />

by Simone St. James<br />

Released <strong>March</strong> 15th<br />

true crime blogger gets more than<br />

A she bargained for while interviewing<br />

the woman acquitted of two cold case<br />

slayings in this chilling new novel from<br />

the New York Times bestselling author of<br />

The Sun Down Motel.<br />

In 1977, Claire Lake, Oregon, was<br />

shaken by the Lady Killer Murders:<br />

Two men, seemingly randomly, were


murdered with the same gun, with strange notes<br />

left behind. Beth Greer was the perfect suspect—a<br />

rich, eccentric twenty-three-year-old woman, seen<br />

fleeing one of the crimes. But she was acquitted, and<br />

she retreated to the isolation of her mansion.<br />

Oregon, 2017. Shea Collins is a receptionist, but<br />

by night, she runs a true crime website, the Book<br />

of Cold Cases—a passion fueled by the attempted<br />

abduction she escaped as a child. When she meets<br />

Beth by chance, Shea asks her for an interview. To<br />

Shea’s surprise, Beth says yes.<br />

They meet regularly at Beth’s mansion, though<br />

Shea is never comfortable there. Items move when<br />

she’s not looking, and she could swear she’s seen a<br />

girl outside the window. The allure of learning the<br />

truth about the case from the smart, charming Beth<br />

is too much to resist, but even as they grow closer,<br />

Shea senses something isn’t right. Is she making<br />

friends with a manipulative murderer, or are there<br />

other dangers lurking in the darkness of the Greer<br />

house?<br />

to America on a goodwill tour.<br />

Still reeling from war wounds and devastated<br />

by loss, Mila finds herself isolated and lonely in<br />

the glittering world of Washington, DC—until an<br />

unexpected friendship with First Lady Eleanor<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

Roosevelt and an even more unexpected connection<br />

health & beauty | pain relief<br />

By Dr. Safranski<br />

Bad Posture = Neck Pain<br />

Text neck, tech neck, forward head posture, anterior head<br />

carriage, upper crossed syndrome, military neck, straightening<br />

of the cervical spine, and loss of lordosis are all terms used by<br />

health care professionals today. These big fancy words mean<br />

one thing, you have bad posture. Aside from the aesthetics,<br />

why is posture important?<br />

48 | <strong>March</strong> <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

In a study published in Clinical biomechanics, posture in the<br />

cervical spine (neck) they found that having a forward flexed<br />

posture was more likely to have an increase in failure of the<br />

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

most people have this posture. When we have the increase<br />

in flexion or loss of cervical lordosis, we become susceptible to<br />

injuries of the spine and neck. Think about it like this, the discs<br />

act as the shock absorbers of the neck, along with good biomechanics<br />

of the cervical spine (posture) and well hydrated discs<br />

(shock absorbers) the spine can absorb injuries and function as<br />

it should. Continuing with the car analogy, if the alignment (cervical<br />

biomechanics) is off then, the shock absorbers are going to<br />

wear out faster which can lead to tires wearing out faster, and so<br />

on and so forth.<br />

You might be asking yourself: How did I get like this? How did<br />

this happen? What can I do to fix it? Well, this happens to all of<br />

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

are constantly looking down, stretching the posterior (back) side<br />

of the neck - elongating and weakening the muscles in the back<br />

and strengthening the muscles in the front - causing a forward<br />

rolled shoulder. These repetitive actions that we do on a daily basis<br />

cause long term change.<br />

Our bodies are amazing organisms. The human body does<br />

many adaptations to keep our eyes on the horizon and keep us<br />

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

the right way to compensate for improper actions such as<br />

looking down at your phone, looking at your computer screen, or<br />

working out the big flexor muscle groups. Eventually we will have<br />

symptoms like neck pain, shoulder pain, numbness in hands and<br />

fingers, muscle weakness, headaches, limited movement, and disc<br />

issues. If we don’t take care of these postural corrections, they<br />

can turn into much more severe problems further down the road.<br />

There are steps to take to regain what has been lost, correct the<br />

necessary structures, and live an active pain free lifestyle.<br />

Step 1: Go to a chiropractor and get an assessment that includes<br />

x-rays, range of motions, and a postural assessment.<br />

Step 2: Get adjusted. Getting adjusted puts motion back into<br />

the segments of the cervical spine that have not been moving<br />

properly. This is not only good from a biomechanics perspective,<br />

but from a physiologic perspective. The spinal discs get their hydration<br />

through movement, so any lack of movement in the cervical<br />

spine leads to dehydrated discs.<br />

Step 3: Find a place that does non-surgical spinal decompression<br />

or traction. Stretching the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in<br />

the case of posture not only helps establish plastic deformation to<br />

restructure the ligaments of the cervical spine, but it helps bring<br />

more motion in to the discs, to hydrate them.<br />

Step 4: Stretch the anterior compartment of the cervical spine<br />

and strengthen the posterior compartment. This will ultimately<br />

solidify the changes that are being made with the adjustment to<br />

achieve long standing changes.<br />

Structure and function are correlated, If the structures are<br />

good, you will function well.<br />

Move well, live well.<br />

health & beauty | body beautiful<br />

By ashley sica-de souza<br />

Spring Clean Up!<br />

The hot weather is here and bathing suit<br />

season is upon us. If you haven’t shed<br />

that extra layer yet, now is the time!<br />

I’m sure most of you are familiar with that layer that I’m talking<br />

about. That “layer” from the holidays that you swore would be<br />

off in time for summer. It is never too late to get that body in<br />

gear! Here are some tips to kick-start your spring and have<br />

you feeling ready for that summer wardrobe!<br />

The first and most important component of shedding<br />

that unwanted layer is nutrition. I highly<br />

recommend keeping a daily food log of exactly<br />

everything that you are consuming…the<br />

good the bad and the ugly! This will help<br />

you easily pinpoint your strengths<br />

and weaknesses. Make sure to<br />

write it ALL down to make<br />

yourself accountable! Next,<br />

try your best to eliminate processed<br />

foods from your diet and<br />

stick to 70-80% homemade prepared<br />

meals (yes, you can do it!). Food prep<br />

is 100% essential in helping you<br />

reach your goals! These meals<br />

should consist of lean proteins,<br />

healthy fats, complex carbohydrates,<br />

fruit, and of course lots of veggies.<br />

Having healthy food on hand<br />

at all times is a game changer. The<br />

other nutrition component is water!<br />

Your body will not burn fat if<br />

it is dehydrated. It is such a simple<br />

thing many people don’t do. Drinking<br />

proper amounts of water will<br />

also help to keep you feeling full,<br />

help flush out toxins and help decrease<br />

bloating!<br />

The second component<br />

is weightlifting.<br />

It must<br />

be done…period.<br />

Weightlifting is essential to<br />

fat burning and your metabolism. The more muscle<br />

you have, the more calories your body will burn at rest.<br />

Ladies, I promise you will NOT get bulky from lifting<br />

more than five pounds. I compare weight training to a<br />

sculptor taking a piece of round clay molding it into<br />

a nice shapely figure. That is what real work does<br />

50 | <strong>March</strong> <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

to your body. It gives your body the “shape” most are looking to<br />

achieve and that will not happen without picking up some sizable<br />

weights! Many people think cardio alone will do this and that is<br />

the farthest thing from the truth. Although cardio has its time and<br />

place (more about that next) resistance training is essential.<br />

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

than 60 minutes.<br />

The last component is incorporating High Intensity<br />

Interval Training also known as HIIT. This is the fastest<br />

and most effective way to decrease your body fat<br />

and show off all the resistance training that you<br />

have been doing. The best thing about this<br />

type of cardio is that you don’t need a lot of<br />

it. The days of super long and slow cardio<br />

sessions are OVER! HIIT will keep your body<br />

burning calories for hours after your actual<br />

session. This type of training involves alternating<br />

between intense bouts of exercise<br />

followed by low intensity exercise. If you<br />

are a beginner, you may want to start<br />

with a 1:1 work ratio. One minute on,<br />

one minute off. HIIT can be performed<br />

anywhere…. outside using sprints or<br />

stairs, on the treadmill, at the beach,<br />

etc. This can also be incorporated<br />

with your weight workouts, which<br />

is what I recommend.<br />

Take these 3 components of<br />

eating clean (do that food prep!)<br />

weight training, and proper cardio,<br />

and you will be<br />

summer ready in<br />

no time. There<br />

is no better way<br />

to welcome the<br />

summer heat<br />

than with a healthy, more<br />

confident you.<br />

Ronni Hawk<br />

If you aren’t already familiar with American<br />

actress Ronni Hawk, let me introduce you to<br />

one of Hollywood’s powerhouse rising starlets.<br />

Auditioning for, and securing a spot at the Bak school in West<br />

Palm Beach, Ronni excelled in dance and cultivated a passion<br />

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

now running through her veins, an open modeling audition<br />

in Miami for the Disney Network set into motion her now thriving<br />

profession. With determination and a list of local agencies in hand,<br />

Hawk was quickly signed to World of Kids Model and Talent Agency in<br />

South Florida, and began working at a breakneck pace. Prompted by<br />

a majority of television commercial bookings, Ronni enrolled in acting<br />

classes to hone her new found life path. After enthusiastic feedback<br />

stemming from an intense clinic instructed by two Los Angeles<br />

based coaches, she relocated from Boca Raton, Florida to the west<br />

coast, her mother in tow. Hawk was signed to the prestigious Osbrink<br />

Talent Agency and Monster Talent Management within one week of<br />

her arrival, and started the daunting task of casting calls.<br />

Fast by industry standards, Ronni landed a guest spot on Playing<br />

Hooky as Leah, and more involved roles presented themselves soon<br />

thereafter. Even with a blossoming television career underway, California<br />

law required the young entertainer to obtain schooling, and<br />

she did so assisted by on-location tutors.<br />

“Attending classes while working on a hot set is interesting. You can<br />

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

graduated, have my diploma, and I’m proud of that accomplishment.”<br />

Prepping for an audition can be one of the most anticipated and<br />

pivotal facets of acting, and Ronni makes sure to become fully immersed<br />

in the person she wishes to portray. Hawk describes living in<br />

her desired role for a few days in advance, even dressing and speaking<br />

as the imagined individual, placing her in the correct headspace.<br />

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

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

good amount of jewelry and make my voice a bit higher to really get a<br />

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

with the sides under my pillow for luck.”<br />

In 2016, Ronni was at home with family, when a phone call delivered<br />

the life-altering news that she had landed the character of<br />

Rachel Diaz on Disney Channel’s comedy series, Stuck in the Middle.<br />

After two seasons, Hawk made the decision to move on when she<br />

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

Netflix teen dramedy. That same year she also procured a<br />

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

“The Tiffany Experience” episode featured Ronni as a social media<br />

star dealing with an overzealous threatening stalker.<br />

Life sometimes imitates art, and when a former fellow cast mate<br />

concocted a vicious rumor, the lie spread swiftly throughout various<br />

media platforms. Recalling advice from one of her first managers<br />

about staying tough in this business, Ronni was confident her true<br />

disposition would shine through and held her head high. “People can<br />

be extremely competitive and sometimes will try to sabotage you<br />

with untruths.”<br />

As the judgments reached an unnerving level, Hawk had no choice<br />

but to ease away from the internet community for a moment. “It can<br />

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

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

these circumstances. When an audience thinks of me, I would like to<br />

be known for being a kind, giving person and a loyal friend.”<br />

This multi-talented actress is adding producer to her resume, currently<br />

working on Girl With a Gun, an Indie Movie she stars in and<br />

produces, and admires the catalog of an American filmmaker who<br />

exhibits a distinctive expressive style.<br />

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

is beautiful and I fully enjoy everything he does.”<br />

In her down time Hawk is a self-described avid adventurer, partaking<br />

in scuba diving, hiking, skiing, and horseback riding. The dedicated<br />

perfectionist practices jumping horses almost daily, and is looking<br />

forward to participating next year on the competition circuit.<br />

A visceral love of nature and mankind subsequently led Ronni to<br />

connect with a widely praised charity, The Thirst Project. Hoping to<br />

be a beacon of change amongst her peers, Hawk is involved with<br />

raising awareness for humanitarian issues across the globe. Thirst<br />

Project is a nonprofit organization that works to end the worldwide<br />

freshwater crisis by constructing wells in developing countries<br />

throughout Africa, with one hundred percent of donations disbursed<br />

directly to ongoing projects.<br />

From dance school to taking a leap of faith in the entertainment industry,<br />

Ronni Hawk embodies what happens when raw talent meets<br />

motivation. Always giving viewers her full capacity as an artist, fans<br />

should be eager to see where Ronni proceeds in the future.<br />

That’s why Taylor Travaglione, VP of Growth and Evolution<br />

for ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is always on the<br />

lookout for top notch savvy real estate agents.<br />

This vision for the crème de la crème of realtors is the most<br />

potent ingredient to their marketing strategy, especially<br />

in the Delray Beach office. “We have only been here for a<br />

short amount of time, but the power of our brand and the continual<br />

growth of the company attracts the best and brightest agents,”<br />

said Travaglione.<br />

Robert Guntmacher fits that exalted pedigree that Travaglione<br />

searches for exclusively. The New York native moved to Delray<br />

Beach six years ago and began renovating and flipping multi-family<br />

properties in Palm Beach County.<br />

Fast forward to today and Guntmacher is a high-powered player<br />

in the residential redevelopment of vacant land, rehabs and teardowns.<br />

His sales history is remarkable, and his reputation and<br />

work ethic are in a rarefied category of exclusivity.<br />

“Robert has done a tremendous amount of business in a relatively<br />

short amount of time. He has achieved what most agents would<br />

hope to accomplish in their entire career. Robert is a property hawk;<br />

he has an incredible eye for identifying and coveting real estate opportunities.<br />

He is the first to learn of investment opportunities and<br />

56 | march <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

the most aggressive and proactive agent around,” said Travaglione.<br />

Another reason that Guntmacher is the perfect match for ONE<br />

Sotheby’s International is because of their new Development Division.<br />

They now offer sales and marketing strategies for pre-construction<br />

of multiple dwelling town homes and condo projects. According<br />

to Travaglione they partner with a developer and do their<br />

marketing and sales after the project is completed.<br />

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

while working at a small independent office, I participated in 26<br />

redevelopment closings. This accounted for $271 million in ongoing<br />

and planned new luxury construction re-development projects<br />

in Delray Beach in the 33444 and 33483 zip codes.”<br />

Prior to coming to ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, Guntmacher<br />

was working in a small local office with one broker, minimal<br />

marketing support and what he calls a “limited future.”<br />

But this charismatic king of real estate doesn’t dwell on the<br />

downside of existence, like water he bounces above the shore and<br />

creates his own path to success. That is why ONE Sotheby’s came<br />

calling for him to join their team in Delray Beach.<br />

“This year I was contacted by Taylor Travaglione of ONE Sotheby’s<br />

International Realty in Miami, the second largest franchisee<br />

in the Sotheby’s universe. Taylor’s mission is to establish ONE Sotheby’s<br />

as a major player From Miami-Dade and Broward County to<br />

Jacksonville, Florida.”<br />

Guntmacher is spot on. Travaglione is adamant that ONE Sotheby’s<br />

is on the fast track to the pinnacle of sales and service<br />

for their clients – whether residential, commercial or corporate<br />

pre-construction.<br />

“We have a grand vision for what we are going to accomplish<br />

in Delray Beach and the surrounding areas. We are showing our<br />

strength in the marketplace by attracting the best agents to our<br />

ever-growing company.<br />

Part of this new team – that includes Guntmacher – is Julie Giachetti.<br />

She specializes in luxury waterfront property and is at the<br />

top of her game. She is a multiple Diamond Award Winner and has<br />

sold nearly $1 billion in closed real estate sales.<br />

And no one is happier than Travaglione to welcome these two<br />

real estate pros to the ONE Sotheby’s team.<br />

“We have a diverse approach to the brokerage, that is residential,<br />

commercial and new development in South Florida. We have two<br />

amazing new members on our team that align with a market leader<br />

that’s growing at an accelerated rate. The South Florida offices are<br />

in the top tier of the ONE Sotheby’s International Realty portfolio<br />

of real estate.”<br />

Part of this Florida success, according to Travaglione, is their<br />

hyper focus on creating and establishing the best working culture<br />

with support and service for their team.<br />

“Robert and Julie have two amazing careers and are partnering<br />

with ONE Sotheby’s because we are an exciting company with tremendous<br />

growth and resources. We provide unbridled service and<br />

support with a thriving marketing and creative department.”<br />

The ONE Sotheby’s International Realty philosophy is that they<br />

are more concerned with quality than quantity. They are also very<br />

selective about who joins their team.<br />

The reasons are obvious to those who know the ONE Sotheby’s<br />

history and heritage. “ONE Sotheby’s exceeds any and every expectation<br />

one could have for representing a professional organization<br />

populated by quality individuals,” said Guntmacher.<br />

ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is supported by market<br />

knowledge and insights, the latest technology, and a global backbone<br />

of support and service. This expertise is grounded in the belief<br />

that the best experiences inspire the best decisions.<br />

That is why they are experiencing exponential growth, especially<br />

in the Florida marketplace. The company has 27 offices and 1,300<br />

agents from Miami to Jacksonville. Their reputation for experience<br />

and passion for their customers define the Sotheby’s International<br />

Realty brand.<br />

ONE Sotheby’s is known for being a company that finds “Exceptional<br />

Homes for Exceptional People.” Their belief is that the client’s<br />

vision is their inspiration at the highest level of service and<br />

expertise.<br />

They are recognized as a market leader with associates that<br />

bring passion and commitment to every client they serve. Robert<br />

Guntmacher and Julie Giachetti exemplify this creed to reach (and<br />

surpass) real estate royalty.<br />

Local Shopping at its Best<br />

By Nicol Jenkins | photos by melissa korman<br />

When you step through the doors of the<br />

newly opened store, you can tell that it’s<br />

not like any other shop on <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue.<br />

The carefully curated array of products ensures each member of the<br />

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

merchandise, from brands like Scotch & Soda, Vineyard Vines<br />

and Peter Millar, perfectly suits the Delray audience and marks Global Pursuit<br />

as a local alternative to the mall. What completes the exceptional shopping<br />

experience, however, is the store’s spacious, welcoming atmosphere<br />

and passionate, friendly staff.<br />

The store’s owners, mother and son team Angela and Sam Marsh, strive<br />

to stock and support environmentally conscious brands. Patagonia, Faherty,<br />

and Marine Layer— all born on the water— have excellent initiatives to<br />

save our oceans. “Each of these brands represents Global Pursuit and our<br />

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

“One of the things that set us apart is that we seek out these sustainable<br />

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

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

58 | march <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

Angela opened her first store in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, and has expanded<br />

her business with her son, Sam, by her side. The <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue<br />

shop opened last October, and the community has responded well as repeat<br />

customers are now the norm.<br />

“Global Pursuit began over 13 years ago. Much has changed since then,<br />

but our mission remains the same: To stock the best designs and best fabrications<br />

while keeping sustainability front of mind. We have bespoke clothing,<br />

accessories and footwear for the whole family, so you can Feel Good<br />

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

to work together as a family with Sam starting work in the shop back in<br />

Stone Harbor, NJ when he was just 13. Through the last dozen years, he<br />

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

He was the primary designer of the Delray store’s interior and has a<br />

great eye for what works in the space.”<br />

The duo is excited to be a part of the Delray community. Giving back<br />

to the local community is at the core of their mission. They supported<br />

and participated in the Tenth Annual Delray Beach Fashion Week and are<br />

members of the DDA and Chamber of Commerce.<br />

“The community has been incredibly receptive to the store, some of<br />

whom know us from our NJ location. Others who are just finding us for the<br />

first time are happy not to have to trek to the mall for a new button down for<br />

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

Brands like Peter Millar and Chubbies have been a favorite for many<br />

local gentlemen. Women adore the breadth of styles featuring Gretchen<br />

Scott, Sanctuary, and Tribal. Everyone loves the options from Faherty<br />

Brand, Vineyard Vines, and Marine Layer. Art-driven brands like Obey,<br />

plus sports fan favorites, ‘47 Brand, and Mitchell and Ness, are also part<br />

of the mix. Much of their apparel is made from environmentally friendly<br />

products, such as organic cotton and repurposed recycled materials—you<br />

can find a bathing suit from Patagonia made of recycled fishing nets or a<br />

tee from Marine Layer made of organic cotton. Global Pursuit also offers a<br />

great selection of shoes and sandals including Hey Dude, Havaianas, Ugg,<br />

Vionic, and Teva.<br />

It has been a labor of love for the family to transform the old pharmacy<br />

location into a beautiful shopping environment.<br />

“I love being in the retail industry, every season brings new challenges.<br />

Working with our team to meet those challenges is so incredibly rewarding.<br />

Supply chain issues, the lack of in person trade shows was an additional<br />

difficulty that we had to navigate these past two years but working<br />

with our vendors as partners we were able to make it through successfully.<br />

Learning our customers and meeting their needs, making them happy<br />

about how they look is so fun. We love making people feel good about looking<br />

great,” said the owners.<br />

Though the shop is new to the <strong>Ave</strong>nue, the shop’s heart and soul is not.<br />

Mary and her team including Didi, Athena, and Terri have long worked<br />

in retail on the <strong>Ave</strong>nue and are magicians at assisting guests. Customers<br />

praise Global Pursuit’s owners and staff for a positive shopping experience.<br />

“This place is simply amazing. Wonderful staff that are knowledgeable<br />

about their products. It seemed like they really wanted to make sure I<br />

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

be back!” said one customer.<br />

“I had a great experience at Global Pursuit. Friendly and accommodating<br />

staff were eager to help both my fiancé and I will definitely be back to<br />

revisit their great selection!” said another happy customer.<br />

“I knew that I would become a loyal customer the moment I walked<br />

through the doors. I was immediately welcomed by a member of the staff<br />

and the store has a bright, inviting atmosphere. The clothes are perfect if<br />

you are going for a casual yet stylish beach vibe. I would definitely recommend<br />

this store for all age groups and plan on coming back to stock my<br />

spring wardrobe!” praised another frequent customer.<br />

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

clothing. Love the style and feel like just about anyone could find something<br />

they like in here!”<br />

Stop by Global Pursuit for a wonderful local shopping experience for<br />

your entire family!<br />

POSH PROPERTIES<br />

Experts In Real Estate<br />

By Nicol Jenkins | photos by melissa korman<br />

Local, knowledgeable and professional, is what Jerilyn Walter<br />

looks for when adding to her already successful roster of agents.<br />

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

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

“Not<br />

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

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

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

John Russo and Anthony Addeo are one of the<br />

newest POWEr teams at Posh Properties<br />

ohn and I originally started to work together because of similar<br />

“Jstyles and knowledge of the area. We share mutual contacts<br />

and have the same work ethic. John brings his vast database as well<br />

as knowledge of the locations; I handle the research, negotiations<br />

and paperwork,” said Anthony.<br />

“Together we have become the “go-to” team because of our<br />

knowledge and ability to deliver time and time again. At the office,<br />

we are the first ones in and last ones out. We have already contracted<br />

over $10,000,000 this year and have 4 new listings coming over<br />

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

you miss out on what this area is becoming, this market is not<br />

likely to crash. We deal with too many out of town clients relocating<br />

to South Florida and making it their primary residence. Miami has<br />

now passed LA in the housing market, and we suspect will spread<br />

throughout the rest of the state.”<br />

their cuSTOmers<br />

Agents Anthony Aliberti and Thomas kOrnitzer<br />

are working together with a million-dollar<br />

developer who is building homes in Delray Beach<br />

While these two dynamos don’t work as a team, their real estate<br />

businesses are very much alike and based on their commitment<br />

to their clients and their persistence to deliver exactly what<br />

they expect. They hold themselves to a very high standard and want<br />

their expectations. “A person doesn’t remember what you said, they<br />

remember what you did and how you made them feel,” Paige said.<br />

“I love meeting new people and building strong relationships and<br />

friendships. I genuinely enjoy seeing others succeed. Whether I can help<br />

a friend buy their first home or help an investor create wealth, those relationships,<br />

smiles and celebrations make me addicted for more.”<br />

live here,” she said, adding, “I love sharing my knowledge to help<br />

buyers understand the wonderful sense of community and that we<br />

offer so many diverse ways that one may want to live. It really is all<br />

offered here in our (unique) town. In just a few miles radius, we offer<br />

Coastal living, historical homes, an art district, urban, city or just<br />

a quiet little neighborhood. We have got it all!”<br />

Anthony began his career with Prudential and quickly found his<br />

the Luxury home market. “ <strong>2022</strong> has already brought us over $6.7m<br />

residential and commercial, I’ve been licensed in FL, NY, and NJ with<br />

over five hundred million in career closed real estate transactions.<br />

Many of my clients’ purchased properties in Delray Beach and Boca<br />

old school square<br />

What is Happening?<br />

Old School Square<br />

Has Been All Over<br />

the News these Days<br />

The well-known non-profit that created Old School Square<br />

had its lease terminated in August. They were forced to vacate<br />

the property in February. Here are the Top Ten Things to<br />

Know about the Old School Square issue.<br />

Old School Square’s (OSS) lease was terminated by the City<br />

1 Commission after 32 years of service “without cause.” The public<br />

was given no notice and the item did not appear on the agenda.<br />

The vote was 3-2.<br />

2<br />

Despite invoking the “no cause” portion of the lease, a majority<br />

of commissioners have alleged that Old School Square fell<br />

out of compliance with the lease terms. OSS maintains that they are<br />

in compliance, have produced clean audits, and have been willing<br />

to talk to the city about any issues or concerns. OSS was late with<br />

audits because its auditors quit during the pandemic. But subsequently,<br />

a new auditing firm was hired, and OSS produced clean<br />

audits.<br />

OSS made many offers to meet with the City, which have been<br />

3 rejected. OSS made a settlement offer in January, but the offer<br />

wasn’t considered. Commissioners refused to talk about it among<br />

themselves, cancelling a scheduled session one hour before it was<br />

scheduled, citing lack of interest in settling.<br />

OSS programmed right up until the end, citing its desire to serve<br />

4 the community. The last concert was held in February.<br />

The city has alleged that a renovation of the Crest Theatre and<br />

the construction of a commercial kitchen for special events was<br />

5<br />

done without permission. OSS did receive a building permit for the<br />

renovations which were fully paid for by a donor: Margaret Blume.<br />

The project was halted one month before completion. Taxpayers<br />

will have to complete the theater and commercial kitchen.<br />

OSS paid for 75-80 percent of the costs of OSS operations and<br />

6 the CRA paid for the rest so OSS could provide below market<br />

rate events and programming including free Friday night concerts.<br />

Without the presence of a non-profit, the city would be responsible<br />

for 100 percent of the costs. Ticket sales, rentals and concession<br />

sales would offset some costs, but without a 501c3, donors would<br />

not be able to make tax-deductible contributions.<br />

The city issued an RFP (Request for Proposals) to take over<br />

7 the facilities (except for the Cornell Museum which went unaddressed)<br />

and nobody applied.<br />

“The Delray Affair”<br />

By Roy M. Simon<br />

This year, the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce celebrates the 60th anniversary of<br />

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

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

the Delray Affair by one of its founders, Roy Simon.<br />

Over the years, dating back to the late 1940’s, events have<br />

been held celebrating the farmers of the community and the<br />

local agricultural industry which is Delray’s heritage and<br />

was its economic base.<br />

Because the Delray area was the “Gladiola Capital of the World”<br />

in the 1940’s and 50’s, the Gladiola Festival was created during<br />

spring harvest to show off the product of the area. This Exposition<br />

was a huge event, drawing thousands to Delray from all over with<br />

large, glamorous Orange Bowl floats, bands, and beauty queens. It<br />

was a time when the gladiola farms of our area created a beautiful<br />

pallet of color as you headed west on <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue. As the<br />

gladiola farms became urban developments and vegetable farms,<br />

tourism became the focus of the area.<br />

To maintain ties with the agriculture industry and to arouse interest<br />

in its contributions to our economic vitality, the Chamber<br />

of Commerce introduced the “Agricultural Expo”. Chaired by Roy<br />

Simon, the first event was a small stand in the parking lot of First<br />

National Bank of Delray Beach (now SunTrust) on East <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue.<br />

The stand was furnished by Vic Neal, who helped prepare the<br />

display of the many varieties of fruit and vegetables grown in the<br />

area, in addition to flowers and nursery items. The Display provided<br />

information regarding the products grown and shipped from the<br />

area and the economic contributions of the agricultural community<br />

to the area and the county.<br />

Because of the enthusiasm of the farmers and the wonderful reception<br />

by the community, the second expo was a two-day event,<br />

held in the Delray Community Center gymnasium. The displays<br />

covered the entire floor of the gym and were filled with produce<br />

of every variety and proudly presented by the participating farms.<br />

The exhibits included livestock, which were displayed in the lawn<br />

between the Community Center and the tennis courts, ranging from<br />

hogs and chickens to Santa Gertrudas beef cattle. The variety and<br />

extent of the displays and the fact that all was local had many members<br />

of the community in a state of surprise and awe.<br />

Times continued to change and farms continued to be lost to<br />

more development. At the same time, the City and the area were<br />

growing, becoming the home of artists and authors, many of whom<br />

were nationally and internationally renowned. President of the<br />

Delray Chamber of Commerce, Roy Simon, recommended to the<br />

Chamber Board that the expo be expanded to an art festival, similar<br />

to the ones held in Winter Park, Florida. The concept was well<br />

68 | march <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

received and President-elect John Bordeman volunteered to chair<br />

the committee.<br />

The first committee meeting was held at the Arcade Tap Room<br />

with members Andy Gent, Ken Ellingsworth, Buddy Merritt, artist<br />

Beth Simon, authors Nathaniel and Sylvia Weyl, artist Gay Drake<br />

and Chairman John Bordeman. Among the discussions was the<br />

naming of the event. Suggestions were “Delray Art Festival”, “Delray<br />

Art Affair”, etc. From there Andy Gent or Nathaniel Weyl joked,<br />

“Delray Affair”. After a brief discussion, all agreed that this festival<br />

of the arts should be named “The Delray Affair”.<br />

As an enhancement and to diversify, it was decided that the festival<br />

should include art, literature and music. The concept was to<br />

recognize the abundance of talent of the area and to bring in others<br />

from around the state and beyond. Events were designed to bring<br />

the communities closer together and to inform the public and local<br />

residents of the products grown in the area’s agricultural fields and<br />

of the creative artisans residing in the area.<br />

One feature of the arts festival was the “Literary Tea” held in the<br />

Delray Library. Gathered there were the many authors who made<br />

Delray their home, such as Theodore Pratt, Nathaniel Weyl and<br />

Laura Sinks Britt. This activity was a great success. Unfortunately,<br />

it was never repeated.<br />

To enhance the display of art along East <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue, a local<br />

grower provided hundreds of pots of mums which were set out<br />

like luminaries on both sides creating a half mile of floral color.<br />

Before the day was finished, most of the plants disappeared as<br />

people picked them up to take home, some in cars and others in<br />

pick-up trucks. It was the birth of selling the flowers for charity,<br />

instead of trying to display. Hence, the reintroduction of gladiolas<br />

as a trademark.<br />

Music and dance volunteers performed on several strategically<br />

located “stages”, and musicians strolled along <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue. It<br />

was a beautiful scene, well-received by the entire community. It<br />

worked and became so popular that the “Thieves Market” and<br />

crafts were added. The event became a fixture on the calendar for<br />

the first weekend after Easter, hoping to retain the snowbirds and<br />

tourists at least one more week. It has grown from a one block<br />

display to the current eight blocks-plus event. This new event, THE<br />

DELRAY AFFAIR that excited the entire community, has grown to<br />

become a top event of the Southeastern United States.<br />

May it continue and grow.<br />

Bringing Light to Darkness<br />

The Gengel family learned firsthand<br />

how life can change in an instant.<br />

That instant was 12 years ago.<br />

It was then that 19-year-old Britney Gengel – daughter of Len<br />

and Cherylann – went to Haiti on a missionary trip to build<br />

houses with her classmates from Lynn University.<br />

But the houses never did get built. Instead, a catastrophic 7.0<br />

earthquake shook Haiti to its core and left 300,000 people dead<br />

and 180,000 homes destroyed.<br />

Unfortunately, Britney was one of the 300,000 who perished on<br />

that day. It also left the Gengel family bereft for their beloved Britney.<br />

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

and a smile that would melt anyone. She was a voice for those who<br />

did not have one,” said her father, Len.<br />

As a way to turn grief into gratitude the Gengel family sprang<br />

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

The foundation’s first large undertaking was to build a 9.0<br />

earthquake-proof orphanage in Grand Goâve, Haiti.<br />

Though hope and loss were the underpinnings of this foundation,<br />

it is love and symbolism that has enclosed its vast grasp. Grand<br />

Goâve was the town that Britney was going to build houses in the<br />

day after the earthquake. The building is shaped like the letter “B,”<br />

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

The non-adoptive orphanage is a place of love, education, nurturing,<br />

activities, and happiness for children that have lost their families<br />

in the earthquake or other calamities. There are 66 children in<br />

residence – 33 boys and 33 girls – which stand for the 33 days it<br />

took to recover Brit’s body from the rubble.<br />

In her 19 years Britney inspired her peers, her family and her<br />

classmates. She also found her calling in the wilderness and deprivation<br />

of Haiti.<br />

In a text to her mother just hours before the earthquake Brit<br />

had an epiphany. “They love us so much and everyone is so happy.<br />

They love what they have and they work so hard to get nowhere,<br />

yet they are all so appreciative. I want to move here and start an<br />

orphanage myself.”<br />

That is the sole reason why Len, a retired home builder from<br />

Rutland, Massachusetts took 39 trips to Haiti (over two years) to<br />

help build the orphanage in honor of Britney.<br />

He also moved to Delray Beach in 2014. So did his son Bernie,<br />

the VP of the Foundation and IT savant. “We chose Delray because<br />

Brit loved Delray and her brother Bernie really wanted an office<br />

in Delray,” said Len.<br />

They opened their first Florida office in the Delray Beach Chamber<br />

offices, and their Marketing Director, Diane Rosayn co-chairs<br />

the chamber’s Nonprofit Council program.<br />

The “Be like Brit” Orphanage is in full tilt with full-time support<br />

staff, teachers and security staff under the direction of Manmi<br />

Love Pun, whose husband Johny Pun was a Delray police officer<br />

killed on his motorcycle.<br />

For years the foundation also invited guests to help build homes<br />

in Haiti and experience the beauty of its origin. Called the “Britsionary<br />

Program” over 1,800 people have built over 145 houses in Haiti.<br />

Delray Chamber’s Program Director Lynn Van Lenten was one<br />

of them. “Len and his family did something with their grief I have<br />

never seen before – they took Britney’s dream and saved 66 kids<br />

(and others) with this orphanage. Be Like Brit adopted each child,<br />

ensuring security for a lifetime.<br />

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

helped build a house and experienced the gift of love, safety and a<br />

future that Be Like Brit has given each child.”<br />

If you talk to Len or Bernie, you realize that these are not just<br />

children from Haiti being sheltered in place. They are considered<br />

part of the Gengel family. “The Brit Foundation kids really saved me.<br />

After losing my sister I kept coming back to Haiti to do good and<br />

continue Brit’s compassion full time. I have 66 nieces and nephews<br />

– the kids call me Uncle Bernie or Ton Ton Bernie.”<br />

Len also sees these children as an ethereal conduit to goodness<br />

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

little better place before we leave this earth, then we have accomplished<br />

great things. That’s my goal for our children.”<br />

As a way to empower the children even more they are building a<br />

house in Northwest Delray so the children can come to the U.S. and<br />

attend college or get jobs.<br />

“This six-bedroom home will be a place our children can call<br />

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

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

bridge from Grand Goâve to Delray Beach,” adds Len.<br />

Just last month the Delray Beach Habitat for Humanity reached<br />

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

<strong>Ave</strong>nue.<br />

The Be Like Brit Foundation has also built homes in Haiti for residents,<br />

employed local workers and gives away clean water from its<br />

nanotechnology water filtration system. Bernie also created a social<br />

media site for the kids called Britnett.<br />

This heart rendering story about the Gengel family and its mission<br />

to create diamonds out of destiny is documented in a book<br />

written by Len and Cherylann called, “Heartache and Hope in Haiti.”<br />

There is also an outstanding YouTube Video that shows the children,<br />

the beautiful grounds, and the outpouring of love during poignant<br />

moments at the “Be Like Brit” compound in Haiti.<br />

You can move mountains - and create wonders in the name of<br />

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

it was a way to honor my sister. It also kept my family together<br />

and gave us a lot of hope. And it has,” said Bernie.<br />

Homemade Food Made to Please You<br />

IL CONTADINO RISTORANTE<br />

Michel Menna is a people<br />

pleaser – in a foodie kind of way.<br />

He dotes on his customers with homemade Italian fare at his<br />

intimate restaurant in Pineapple Grove.<br />

The restaurant, Il Contadino is a place where people<br />

come to celebrate holidays, birthdays or just want to luxuriate in<br />

the pampering and power of a homemade Italian meal.<br />

Menna likes when his patrons call ahead to tell him what foods<br />

they prefer. That way he has time to create the perfect version of<br />

their favorite dishes with élan.<br />

82 | march <strong>2022</strong> | www.<strong>Atlantic</strong><strong>Ave</strong><strong>Magazine</strong>.com<br />

Veal Siciliana<br />

Ken Chiarella came to Il Contadino with his mother Marilyn<br />

(who was celebrating a milestone birthday) and three of his<br />

friends. All are snowbirds and find themselves smitten with the<br />

culinary prowess of Menna.<br />

“Michel puts out food that is second to none. Everything is personalized<br />

and fresh, and the flavors are distinct and amazing. Every<br />

time we come here, he asks us what we want, and then he<br />

prepares it beautifully.”<br />

When Ken’s mom Marilyn asked for lamb chops for her birthday<br />

dinner, Menna didn’t have them. But within an hour they<br />

mysteriously appeared in front of her with all the trimmings. She<br />

beamed with delight as her son looked on with amazement and<br />

accolades fit for a prince.<br />

“I have been to the best restaurants in New York and Italy and<br />

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

is amazing.”<br />

Others feel the same way. “Do not walk past this place when you<br />

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

you want to try the meatball first and you will be blown away!<br />

Then enjoy dinner and very fine wines! Support your local chef,<br />

there’s no one better!”<br />

Some of the dishes that Ken and his guests (Sam and Judy Maruca)<br />

had are steeped in Italian tradition and prepared artfully and<br />

tastefully. They raved about the artichoke hearts basted in garlic<br />

with a wine sauce, sprinkled with Reggiano cheese. As lovers of<br />

homemade Italian food, the group feasted on Zuppa di Mussels in<br />

a light tomato sauce with clam broth, as well as Cowboy Rib-Eye<br />

COPYRIGHTED


Peperonata with peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms in a<br />

red tomato sauce.<br />

Cooking has been a passion of Menna’s since he was a tot. When<br />

his parents were away, he would go into the kitchen and create<br />

gourmet dishes for them. “My parents would come home and say,<br />

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

cooking, it’s always been my creative outlet.”<br />

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

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

Maruca. His wife Judy was all smiles as the spaghetti with anchovies,<br />

garlic, olive oil, and breadcrumbs came to the table.<br />

One of Menna’s finest dishes is his tequila tortellini, prepared<br />

tableside in a flame-lit pan that sparks the tequila to adhere to the<br />

creamy light sauce. Add that to the peas, prosciutto, and Reggiano<br />

cheese, and you have a delicious pasta that hails from the greats.<br />

It seems Michel is always on the prowl for new dishes and new<br />

experiences. After all, he has been in the restaurant business for 40<br />

years. Just recently he tasted potato latkes from another restaurant.<br />

Not impressed he quickly got out his frying pan and tried his hand<br />

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

dream. Tasty, crispy, and fresh, they seemed to disappear as quick as<br />

they came to the table. He also added sour cream to the center fold.<br />

For Marilyn’s birthday, Menna cooked up a rack of lamb with<br />

roasted garlic and rosemary. It was a dream dish, she said. And she<br />

ought to know. The Boynton Beach resident cooked delicious authentic<br />

Italian meals for her family for years.<br />

For Michel time does not stop. Though the restaurant business<br />

has been hard hit by the pandemic he continues to experiment in<br />

new ways to please guests. “I will be open for breakfast if people<br />

want me to. I make great omelets with fresh vegetables and other<br />

style egg dishes. People just have to call me.”<br />

Menna is also making fresh pizzas with all the trimmings of the<br />

pizza heritage. There is a difference between pizza and homemade<br />

pizza, and Michel wants to show everyone the difference. Also<br />

new at Il Contadino are fresh paninis and wraps with meats, fresh<br />

cheese, lettuce and tomato.<br />

Other outstanding dishes are Pork Osso Bucco that is braised all<br />

day with tomatoes and vegetables as well Mozzarella En Carrozza.<br />

If you are a fish lover, try the whole Branzini, baked with garlic and<br />

wine, delicately cooked.<br />

If you are celebrating a special occasion Menna will prepare<br />

Cowboy Ribeye Steak Pepperonata<br />

homemade dishes for as many people can fit inside this intimate<br />

space. He also has over a thousand different wines from around the<br />

globe waiting to be opened.<br />

The Chiaprella and Maruca clan had a bottle of Napa Valley Eagle<br />

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

it was an excellent choice. Whatever your wine preference is,<br />

Menna will make it happen.<br />

That might be another reason people love dining there. “Michael<br />

and his staff take the farm to table concept to new heights. I had<br />

Eggplant Napoleon, wow. A fresh and delicious take on eggplant<br />

rollatini. His presentation of veal cutlet with eggplant gave new life<br />

to an old favorite – it was amazing. Topped it off with cannoli and<br />

cappuccino. Best ever. This place is the real deal,” said Doug.<br />

It’s comments like Doug’s that makes Michel smile. It is also what<br />

makes his passion flame – not only table side – but inside his heart.<br />

Corned Beef Irish Feast<br />

Mouthwatering tender corned beef with corned beef<br />

flavored potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. This is great<br />

served with both Irish soda bread and corn bread.<br />

ingredients<br />

• 1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet<br />

• 1 cup brown sugar<br />

• 4 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles Irish stout beer<br />

(such as Guinness®), or more if needed<br />

• 1 quart beef stock<br />

• 1 onion, peeled<br />

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled<br />

• 2 bay leaves<br />

• 12 whole black peppercorns<br />

• 2 pounds red potatoes, quartered<br />

• 1 (16 ounce) package carrots, cut into sticks<br />

• 1 head cabbage, cut into wedges<br />

directions<br />

1. Rinse brisket thoroughly in cool water and place into a<br />

large Dutch oven. Generously coat beef with brown sugar<br />

on all sides. Pour Irish stout beer around roast, followed<br />

by beef stock. Liquid should cover brisket by about 1 inch;<br />

add another beer if more liquid is needed.<br />

2. Place onion, garlic, bay leaves, spike packet from<br />

corned beef, and peppercorns into liquid. Bring to a boil,<br />

reduce heat to low, and cover Dutch oven. Simmer for 2<br />

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

30 minutes. Place potatoes and carrots around roast,<br />

cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add cabbage wedges<br />

and simmer until tender, about 10 more minutes. Brisket<br />

should easily pull apart with your fingers or a fork.<br />

3. Transfer vegetables to a serving bowl and place corned<br />

beef on a serving platter; let meat rest 10 minutes before<br />

slicing across the grain to serve.<br />

When Do I Need to<br />

See My Veterinarian?<br />

We are faced with this question on a daily basis as most pet<br />

owners do not trust their own instincts and judgment.<br />

The person that knows the most about their pet is YOU,<br />

the pet parent. We all understand that when our pet has an off day,<br />

whether it is lack of appetite, loose stool, vomiting, itching or so<br />

many other symptoms, we tend to panic. Why do we panic?<br />

The real reason is that we have elevated our pets to family status<br />

which means we have brought our own values into their lives.<br />

While we celebrate these upgrades, we should also follow a more<br />

humane treatment regimen for our pets. First and foremost, we<br />

must understand that the physiological requirements of our pets<br />

are much different than what humans are. This is why it is so important<br />

that we use resources available such as these pages to learn<br />

more about the requirements that our pets need. Their physiology<br />

dictates a different nutritional program than what we require. We<br />

also have to weigh the disease and pathogen threats that are very<br />

different than those of ours.<br />

Obviously, veterinary attention is always necessary in the case of a<br />

known acute trauma or injury. Major cuts, accidents, possible broke<br />

bones and internal injuries definitely need emergency care. Possible<br />

poisoning and medication adverse events also should be verified.<br />

However, we must ask if our over reactions to minor changes in<br />

our pet’s behavior and health put the veterinary providers in an<br />

awkward position? We need to understand that they are trained in<br />

medicine like human medical providers. Their expertise is in medical<br />

treatments. They are normally not trained in nutrition, health<br />

and behavior sciences. It is not required or often not offered in the<br />

veterinary curriculum at veterinary schools and universities. As<br />

a result, most veterinarians do not have the expertise that one is<br />

looking for in holistic alternatives.<br />

Your pet’s health is your responsibility! You should know as<br />

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM<br />

much of your pet’s history as possible so you can make informed<br />

decisions. With rescues, normally you only know that they have<br />

had every vaccination that the administering veterinarian recommended<br />

without knowledge of any previous medical history. We<br />

also know that the diet is that of commercially prepared pet foods<br />

of various brands and qualities which we know have a profound<br />

effect on overall health.<br />

While we understand that you are looking for knowledge for<br />

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

in medical procedures and drugs the best source for your pet’s<br />

health? Pet food companies are product companies, not health venues.<br />

Medicine, drug companies can be very helpful for treating specific<br />

symptoms; however, do they actually cure disease?<br />

The bottom line to this article is that veterinary care has become<br />

very expensive. On so many levels, we expect our veterinarians to<br />

be experts in choices that they may not even have the expertise<br />

to offer advice. They are the experts in medicine emergency care.<br />

Health is a pet parent’s responsibility. We are here as nutritionists<br />

to help guide you through our ongoing education and research.<br />

Follow us here and on our podcasts at iHeart.com Pet Health<br />

Café for the information and education you need to provide your<br />

pet with the optimal health and life that they deserve.<br />

and ear scratches! I’ll be good company, so<br />

let’s move in together today!<br />

I’m cassy and I’m sassy (See what I did<br />

there?). I put on my shiny blue collar to look<br />

gorgeous when we meet. I’m 2 years old,<br />

“HOME IS NOT<br />

A PLACE BUT<br />

A FEELING”<br />

Located in Delray Beach, a vibrant seaside town in southeast Florida filled<br />

with art galleries, upscale shops and fine restaurants, Siréne Villas is a<br />

collection of six townhouses conceived as a haven of understated<br />

sophistication and discrete luxury. Taking a cue from the town’s thriving art<br />

scene, the architects drew inspiration from Cote d'Azur, a magical corner<br />

of southern France known as much for its eternally summery allure as for<br />

the long list of illustrious painters like Matisse, Chagall, and Picasso who<br />

made it their home. The six townhouses channel the soulful charm and<br />

artistic heritage of the French Riviera through a poised, pared down<br />

aesthetic of minimalist purity and sculptural rigour.<br />

COPYRIGHTED<br />

Underpinned by a sense of openness and lightness, the interiors are a<br />

paradigm of understatement with a soothing color palette of white,<br />

cream and earthy tones complementing natural materials and exquisitely<br />

crafted details. Combined with all the amenities you’d expect in a luxury<br />

property, Siréne Villas are a serene retreat of timeless modernity and<br />

heightened refinement.<br />
