Do You Believe? 

Icertainly do! I believe in the magic of holidays. There 

is something very special about the last six weeks of 

every year. We prepare to visit or host family from 

near or far, we enjoy shopping for people we love, we 

become more aware of those in need and give, and we are 

reminded of how lucky we are… Yes – to me the holidays 

are magical. And during the holidays, Delray is extra special. 

There is the 100ft Christmas Tree with Santa at Old School 

Square that was named the best tree in Florida by Travel and 

Leisure in 2016, the Annual Boat Parade, the Grand Menorah 

Lighting at Old School Square, and a Family Friendly New 

Year’s Eve with fireworks to name a few! More details on 

these events and more inside this issue. 

There’s a new Chief in town! Allow us to introduce our 

new Chief of Police Russ Mager. He is a 26-year veteran 

of our police force and is deeply committed to serving 

our community! Read all about Chief Mager and all he’s 

accomplished in our regular feature City People. 

Special thanks to our readers and our loyal advertisers 

for another wonderful year of sharing with you all about our 

City and our people. 

Happy Holidays and 

Happy, Healthy New Year! 

Let 

yourself 

be silently 

drawn 

by the 

stronger 

pull of 

what you 

really love.

PJ Library® to 

“Light Up the 

Fourth Night of 

Chanukah” 

In celebration of the fourth night of Chanukah, 

PJ Library® in South Palm Beach 

County invites friends and the entire Jewish 

community to a family-friendly celebration 

-‘Light Up the Fourth Night of Chanukah” 

- in Boca Raton. Crafts and story time, 

latkes, gelt, candle lighting, a special Chanukah 

concert, and much more will make 

for a fun and memorable evening. 

From 5 - 7pm on Wednesday, December 

21, participants can celebrate the season at 

The Shops at Boca Center, 5150 Town Center 

Circle. (This location is off Military Trail– not

rabbis will be lighting a giant Chanukah 

Menorah and welcoming families. 

PJ Library Director Elana Ostroff promises 

something for everyone. 

“Jacob Spike Kraus always delights with 

his musical talents. His music is eclectic, 

drawing on themes from pop, rock, folk,

at 6pm. Ostroff said everyone is thrilled 

to have the opportunity to gather and celebrate 

Chanukah in person.

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 December for $50 or less. 

They keep us happy and afloat throughout the year, so why not 

cheers to them for once! December 1 is Bartender Appreciation 

Day and what better way to toast to your favorite spirit pourer 

than to kick back and enjoy a few cackles and cocktails at the Delray 

Beach Comedy Club at Aloft! The Aloft Hotel in Downtown Delray Beach 

presents the Delray Beach Comedy Club LIVE every Thursday. Enjoy local 

comedians Bear Webb, LA Hardy, Philly Plowden, Carmen Circillo 

and more. Tickets are $20 plus $25 food or beverage purchase required. 

Comedian Jim Florentine will grace the stage Thursday, December 

1, then Angel Salazar on Thursday, December 8 and Tanyalee Davis 

on Thursday, December 15. All shows start at 8pm. Comedy makes the 

world go round, much like delicious beer and wine, share your space 

with your friends and your bartender, and all relax and laugh the night 

away. Put a little comedy in your holiday season and enjoy the lighter 

things in life - and remember to tip your bartender! Aloft is located at 

202 S.E. Fifth Ave. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 

469-0550 for more information or to purchase tickets. 

It wouldn’t be the holiday season if your calendar wasn’t jam packed 

with event after event, right? Right, and we wouldn’t have it any other 

way! Q1 is for resting, Q4 is for celebrating! Grab your calendar 

and pen because Delray is getting all festive up in here, and you need to 

take note. There’s always fun to be had at the 100-foot Christmas Tree 

and the Holiday Village, so make sure to visit that about a million times 

this season. Then there’s the Delray Beach/Boynton Beach Boat Parade 

on Friday, December 9 at 6:30pm, where you can get all holiday nautical 

with you friends and family members (and Scuba Santa). The Delray 

Beach Holiday Parade is the following night, Saturday, December 10 at 

6pm, with the theme of Winter Nights and Holiday Lights. The Jingle 

Bell Jog, if you’re interested in shedding a few cookie pounds, is held 

along A1A on Saturday, December 17 at 7:30am. Enjoy the Menorah 

Lighting at sunset on Sunday, December 18 at the Old School Square 

lawn, and then round out the month on New Year’s Eve. The City of 

Delray Beach will offer a family-friendly New Year’s Eve Event with a 


DJ at Old School Square starting at 6pm and a firework display at 9pm. 

It’s full-blown holiday season - so get out there and make your events 

happen! Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077

Nothing screams the holidays more than shopping! But 

instead of heading to the mall, head downtown and support 

artisans and crafters. December 3 through 9 is Recipe 

Greetings for The Holidays Week and the perfect time to take advantage 

of the 22nd Annual Downtown Delray Beach Art Festival 

on 4th. This annual juried art festival of hand-crafted artwork including 

glass, photography, painting, mixed media, fiber, jewelry 

and much more, hosts hundreds of artists exhibiting and selling 

their work in an outdoor gallery. Come browse original arts and 

fine crafts from more than 100 exhibitors. You’ll be sure to find 

something unique for everyone on your holiday gift list! The show 

starts at the entrance of East Atlantic Ave and Northeast Fourth 

Avenue in the heart of Downtown Delray Beach. The show proceeds 

north on Northeast Fourth Avenue for two full blocks, and 

well as east on Northeast Second Street to Southeast Fifth Avenue, 

so there is a ton of block-shopping opportunity to be had. The festival 

is held Saturday, December 3 and Sunday, December 4 from 

10am to 5pm and admission is free. Visit www.artfestival.com or 

call (561) 746-6615 for more information. 

Sweet, savory, small or large, there’s no wrong way to eat a 

cookie. Good thing you don’t have to! Sunday, December 4 

is National Cookie Day, and you can either indulge in this 

decadent holiday with your apron and oven, or you can call up 

the professionals at Two Fat Cookies and let them get their hands 

dirty. They sell their bite-sized cookies by the pound in a box, or 

gift-wrapped platters size small, medium, large and jumbo, and 

assortments vary on the day. Not only do they offer your traditional 

bakeshop cookies such as chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, 

but they also make old family recipes and new recipes that they 

invented based on what they thought we couldn’t resist! Think 

Corny Cookie, a corn kernel cookie that tastes like cornbread or 

Captain Crunch, or a Fiesta Cookie, a sugar sprinkle cookie sandwich 

filled with cake batter buttercream and rolled in crunchy 

rainbow sprinkles, or even a WTF, which is layers of White Chocolate 

Macadamia Cookie, Golden Oreos, and Blondie with Heath 

Crunch on top. Yeah, they’re pretty serious about their cookies, so 

you might want to get a mix and see what all the fuss is about. 

Two Fat Cookies is located at 32 S.E. Second Ave. Visit www.twofatcookies.com 

or call (561) 265-5350 for more information. 

December is Give the Gift of Sight Month so let’s share that 

gift with everyone and open our eyes to all of the local blackowned 

businesses in the community! You don’t have to go 

far as the Blackmer’s Market has everything you need in a fun and 

engaging one-stop-shop event. Held the third Sunday of the month 

at the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, the Market features games, 

music, clothing, accessories, body care products and more, all from 

local black-owned businesses, all at The Set. The Set is a community 

that honor’s Black History and cultures of the people of the African 

Diaspora, so there will be no shortage of learning and enjoyment. 

This free event not only offers you fun, food and a chance to connect 

with your community, but you can also score yourself some amazing 

finds on your holiday shopping list! The Spady Cultural Heritage 

Museum is dedicated to discovering, collecting and sharing the African 

American history and heritage of Palm Beach County, and does 

so by bringing people together! The Market is held from 11am to 

4pm at the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, located at 170 N.W. 

Fifth Ave. Visit www.thepeachumbrella.com or call (561) 270-5487 

for more vendor information and event details.

The Ejs Project’s First Inaugural Gala 

The EJS Project is a local communitybased 

organization that provides a safe 

space for teens to receive positive role 

models as well as educational and career opportunities. 

For their 8th Anniversary they held their 

first Gala, and it was a smashing success. 

Guests from all walks of life congregated at the 

Addison Mizner event space. 

There was a photo station up front to capture 

each guest’s arrival, and a room filled with 

appetizers. The vibe was congenial and the energy 

in the room was of giving and kindness. 

EJS teens attended and shared their stories 

about the emotional and academic growth 

COPYRIGHTED 

they experienced from attending the EJS Project. 

Ian Caven was the Master of Ceremonies, 

and kept the energy flowing while Kenny Polcari 

energized attendees to raise their paddle 

and purchase auction items. 

Auction items included a vacation to South 

Africa and Italy, dinners, a charter boat trip, a 

signed tennis ball and photo from Delray’s own 

tennis phenom Coco Gauff. Another highlight 

was listening to EJS students and alumni share 

how EJS has positively impacted their lives. 

“People from all different walks of life came 

together to celebrate, and raise funds to ensure 

that teens have the necessary opportunities 

to reach their full potential. This was 

our Inaugural Gala and it was a great success. 

We will be doing this annually,” said Emanuel 

Jackson, Executive Director of the EJS Project.

December 2nd 

► Violent Night (Theaters) 

To hell with “all is calm.” From 87North, bare-knuckle producers 

of Nobody, John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Bullet Train, and 

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw comes a coal-dark holiday 

action-comedy that says you should always bet on red. When a 

team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on 

Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage, the merc team isn’t 

prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (David Harbour) is 

on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint. 

Violent Night is directed by talented Norwegian filmmaker Tommy 

Wirkola, director of the genre Kill Buljo: The Movie, Dead Snow, 

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead, What 

Happened to Monday, and The Trip, previously. 

December 9th 

► Empire of Light (Theaters) 

The Empire is the kind of movie house you don’t see too often 

anymore, framed by bright lights and a beautiful marquee, 


graciously inviting all into its red-velvet seats. Hilary (Olivia 

Colman) serves at the front of house, opening the theatre every 

morning and overseeing a brimming concession stand. Meanwhile, 

her manager (Colin Firth) occasionally calls her into his office for 

illicit favors. It’s a gloomy routine that Hilary grudgingly repeats, 

but all her co-workers recognize that she’s been quieter since 

returning to the job after a long absence. When Stephen (Micheal 

Ward) arrives as an eager new employee, the two form a quick, 

if outwardly unlikely, connection. Hilary hides a troubled past, 

struggling to manage her mental health, while Stephen, a young 

Black man, grapples with the racism rampant in 1980s Britain. 

Both wounded by aggressions outside their control, they find an 

escape and safe harbor in one another — but their relationship, 

like the Empire cinema itself, cannot last forever, and soon the pair 

must face the reality of their differing futures. 

The acclaimed Oscar-winning British filmmaker directs Empire of 

Light, Sam Mendes, director of American Beauty, Road to Perdition, 

Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, Away We Go, Skyfall, Spectre, and 1917.

► Avatar: The Way of Water (Theaters) 

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: 

The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family, the 

trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other 

safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they 

endure. Avatar 2: The Way of Water is directed by iconic Canadian 

filmmaker James Cameron, director of Piranha II: The Spawning, 

The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, True 

Lies, Titanic, and Avatar, previously. The screenplay is written by 

James Cameron and Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds, The Black 

Dahlia, Terminator: Dark Fate, Snowpiercer series) from a story by 

James Cameron.

and restore his lost lives. But with only one life left, Puss will have 

to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and 

nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws. In their quest, Puss and 

Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a scruffy, 

chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro. Together, our trio of 

heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks, the Three 

Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner, and the terrifying bounty 

hunter, The Big Bad Wolf. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is directed by 

animation filmmaker Joel Crawford, director of The Croods 2: A New

From Damien Chazelle, Babylon is an original epic set in 1920s Los 

Angeles led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and Diego Calva, with an 

ensemble cast including Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, and Jean Smart. A 

tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise 

and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence 

and depravity in early Hollywood. Babylon is both written and 

directed by Oscar-winning American filmmaker Damien Chazelle, 

director of the films Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, Whiplash,

Screaming on the 

Inside 

by Jessica Grose 

In this timely and necessary book, New York 

Times opinion writer Jessica Grose dismantles 

two hundred years of unrealistic parenting expectations 

and empowers today’s mothers to make 

choices that serve themselves, their children, and 

their communities. 

Close your eyes and picture the perfect mother. 

She is usually blonde and thin. Her roots never 

show, and she installed that gleaming kitchen 

backsplash herself (watch her TikTok for DIY 

tips). She seamlessly melds work, wellness, and 

home; during the pandemic, she also ran a remote 

school and woke up at 5am to meditate. 

You may read this and think it’s bananas; you 

have probably internalized much of it. 

Journalist Jessica Grose sure had. After failing 

to meet every one of her expectations for her first 

pregnancy, she devoted her career to revealing 

how morally bankrupt so many of these ideas and 

pressures are. Now, in Screaming on the Inside, 

Grose weaves her personal journey with scientific, 

historical, and contemporary reporting to be 

the voice for American parents she wishes she’d 

had a decade ago. 

The truth is that parenting cannot follow a recipe; 

there are no specific rules that will result in 

a perfectly adjusted child. Every parent has different 

values, and we will have other ideas about how 

to pass those values along to our children. What 

successful parenting has in common, regardless 

of culture or community, is close observation of 

the kind of unique humans our children are. In 

thoughtful and revelatory chapters about pregnancy, 

identity, work, social media, and the crisis 

of the Covid-19 pandemic, Grose explains how 

we got to this moment, why the current state of 

expectations on mothers is wholly unsustainable, 

and how we can move towards something better. 

Lessons in Chemistry 

by Bonnie Garmus 

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average 

woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the 

first to point out that there is no such thing as 

an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s, and 

her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute 

takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except 

for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel– 

prize-nominated grudge-holder who falls in love 

with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry 

results. 


But, like science, life is unpredictable. This is 

why a few years later, Elizabeth Zott finds herself 

not only a single mother but the reluctant star 

of America’s most beloved cooking show, Supper 

at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking 

(“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a 

pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. 

But as her following grows, not everyone is 

happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t 

just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to 

change the status quo. 

Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, 

and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting 

characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and 

vibrant as its protagonist. 

The Ingenue 

by Rachel Kapelke-DALe 

My Dark Vanessa meets The Queen’s Gambit in 

this new novel of suspense about the bonds of 

family, the limits of talent, the risks of ambition, 

and the rewards of revenge. 

When former piano prodigy Saskia Kreis returns 

home to Milwaukee after her mother’s 

unexpected death, she expects to inherit the Elf 

House family estate. But with the discovery that 

her mother’s will bequeathed the Elf House to a 

man whom Saskia shares a complicated history 

with, she is forced to reexamine her past––and the 

romantic relationship that changed the course of 

her life––for answers. Can she find a way to claim 

her heritage while keeping her secrets buried or 

will the fallout from digging too deep destroy her? 

Set against a post #MeToo landscape, Rachel 

Kapelke-Dale’s The Ingenue delves into motherdaughter

Your Table Is Ready: 

Tales of a New York City 

Maître D’ 

by Michael Cecchi-Azzolina 

front-of-the-house Kitchen Confidential from 

A a career maître d’hotel who manned the front 

of the room in New York City’s hottest and most 

in-demand restaurants. 

From the glamorous to the entitled, from 

royalty to the financially ruined, everyone who 

wanted to be seen―or to gawk―at the hottest restaurants 

in New York City came to places Michael 

Cecchi-Azzolina helped run. His phone number 

was passed around among those who wanted to 

curry favor during the decades when restaurants 

replaced clubs and theater as, well, theater in the 

world’s most visible, vibrant city. 

Besides dropping us back into a vanished time, 

Your Table Is Ready takes us places we’d never be 

able to get into on our own: Raoul’s in Soho with 

its louche club vibe; Buzzy O’Keefe’s casually elegant 

River Café (the only outer-borough establishment 

desirable enough to be included in this 

roster), from Keith McNally’s Minetta Tavern to 

Nolita’s Le Coucou, possibly the most beautiful 

room in New York City in 2018, with its French 

Country Auberge-meets-winery look and the 

most exquisite and enormous stands of flowers, 

COPYRIGHTED 

changed every three days. 

From his early career serving theater stars 

like Tennessee Williams and Dustin Hoffman at 

La Rousse right through to the last pre-pandemic 

shutdown full houses at Le Coucou, Cecchi-Azzolina 

has seen it all. In Your Table Is Ready, he breaks 

down how restaurants really run (and don’t) and 

how the economics work for owners and overworked 

staff alike. The professionals who gravitate 

to the business are a unique, stricter breed, 

practiced in dealing with the demanding patrons 

and each other in a distinctive ecosystem that’s 

somewhere between a George Orwell “down and 

out in…” dungeon and a sleek showman’s smokeand-mirrors 

palace.

Injured in an 

Auto Accident? 

A Review of the Most Common 

Injuries and the Most Effective Treatments. 

There are several variables that contribute to the likelihood 

of being involved in an auto accident which include the 

speed of the vehicle, design of the vehicle, road design, skill 

of the operator, and whether the operator was impaired while 

driving. The most common injuries sustained in an auto accident 

include strain/sprains of the neck (whiplash) or of the lower 

back, herniated discs, contusions (bruises), abrasions (scratches), 

lacerations (tearing of the skin), knee injuries, and rotator cuff 

injuries. The most ominous injuries include traumatic brain injuries, 

fractures, and internal organ disruption. 

The neck and the lower back are the most vulnerable and susceptible 

regions in the body for injury in an auto accident. In 

regards to the neck, whiplash is the most common occurrence. 

It is impossible to prevent the neck from snapping forward and 

backward during impact. This action creates micro-tears in the 

ligaments and tendons that hold the neck on top of the body. Subsequently, 

secondary to the force of the impact the rubber like 

material between the vertebrae called the intervertebral disc can 

tear. The intervertebral disc is made up of an outer, resilient layer 

called the annulus fibrosus and an inner gelatin-like substance 

called the nucleus which is an irritant to nerves. Upon tearing, 

the nucleus can herniate out of the disc and irritate spinal nerves 

producing neck or lower back pain and pain into the arm or leg. 

The impact experienced in an automobile accident may also 

have more ominous results such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI) 

or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Physical and cognitive 

symptoms may result such as headache, nausea, dizziness, problems 

concentrating, difficulty with short term memory, spasticity, 

weakness in the limbs, and gait difficulties. The brain can shift forward 

and backward in in the skull in response to the violent forces 

put on the body producing a brain contusion which is termed 

a coup-contrecoup injury. Another brain injury occurs when the 

brain shifts excessively in the skull shearing the neurons on the 

outer surface of the brain. In any case, some level of neurological 

injury occurs in most auto accidents whether through direct or 

indirect trauma. 

A comprehensive examination must be conducted after the accident 

to detect the extent of neurological and orthopedic compromise. 

Once the diagnosis is made, treatment should be conducted 

immediately with a goal of reducing inflammation and restoring 

function. The current gold standard for soft tissue injuries such as 


strains and sprains and even intervertebral disc injuries is Class 

IV High Power Laser Therapy. This FDA approved, orthopedic tool 

enhances tissue healing tenfold by increasing energy and protein 

production in the damaged cells through a process called angiogenesis 

which develops new blood vessels to increase circulation 

to the damaged tissue. It also accelerates the release of oxygen 

molecules from the hemoglobin in the blood to the local tissue. 

The gold standard for the rehabilitation of disc herniations is a 

procedure termed non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. This 

process significantly reduces intra-discal pressure and promotes 

retraction of the herniation into the disc and facilitates influx of 

oxygen, proline and other substrates. The promotion of fibro elastic 

activity stimulates repair and inhibits leakage of irritant sulphates 

and carboxylates from the nucleus. The most recent trial sought to 

correlate clinical success with MRI evidence of disc repair in the 

annulus, nucleus, facet joint and foramina as a result of treatment 

and found that reduction of disc herniation ranged between 10% 

and 90% depending on the number of sessions performed, while 

annulus patching and healing was evident in all cases. 

Lastly, neurophysiologic rehabilitation must be conducted 

to treat the under functioning brain regions through a process 

called plasticity. Plasticity is the process by which a neuron can 

change according to the environmental stimuli it is exposed to. 

The gold standard for TBI and MTBI rehabilitation is the Dynavision 

D2 which is used across the world in major rehabilitation 

hospitals and in many collegiate and professional athletic programs. 

It works on visuo-motor-spatial skills as well as on a neurological 

process termed “efferent copy” which integrates two 

very important regions of the brain; the cerebellum and the frontal 

lobe. These areas of the brain are responsible for everything 

that makes us human such as problem solving, timing, sequencing, 

planning, initiating though processes, and coordination. The 

user is required to manually compress targets made up of 64 LED 

lights that are blinking in a strategically established manner according 

to the neurological presentation of the person.

Surviving the Holidays! 

The holiday season is upon us once again! Here are some tips to 

help get you through the hustle and bustle with less puff and fluff! 

1. Food Prep! 

The most common excuse for not doing food prep is “I don’t have 

time!” But it’s really the exact opposite! If you’re short on time you 

NEED to be meal prepping because it will SAVE you time, calories 

AND money! It doesn’t have to be an all day meal prep either! A couple 

hours on Sunday or whatever day you choose can set you up for 

a week of success! Having food prepped and on hand will also keep 

you on track with your eating because we all know that when we 

don’t have healthy food on hand and we’re starving - we start to get 

into trouble! 

2. Get SweATy! 

Some sweat is better than NO sweat! And some of a workout is 

better than NO workout! Just by getting your body moving, 

even when you are short on time, will help release your 

“feel good” endorphins which in turn will help keep 

your head in the game! So many of us actually eat better 

when we’re working out, even though really it 

should be the other way around...right, LOL! 

3. H20 Up! 

This is so easy to forget, especially when 

you’re out running errands or just running 

around in general! Drinking adequate 

amounts of water will help keep you energized, 

feeling less fluffy, and will help keep 

your hunger down! 

4. Throw it in the Purse! 

This is so important, will help keep 

you from falling off track when hunger 

strikes and eliminates the need for a stop 

at the mall’s food court. Just throw some 

stuff in your purse ladies! Packs of nuts, 

an apple, an orange....something clean that 

will help take the edge off until you can eat 

your next meal! 

which event you’re going to splurge at and which event you’re going 

to keep it clean! There’s nothing worse than eating something and 

saying; “well that was so not worth the calories!” So, PICK what IS 

worth the splurge and CHOOSE when you rather just eat clean. 

Having a PLAN will save you ladies!! Trust me, it works! And yes, 

sometimes things don’t go as planned, but it’s better than going into 

the week with no plan at all. You can easily pack on the calories when 

the happy hours/events/parties run ALL week long!! 

6. No Gracias! 

Easier said than done, but sometimes you just can’t do everything! 

Overextending yourself is one sure fire way to stress out! And we 

all know when we’re stressed it’s a downhill snowball effect. More 

stress usually means less sleep, more carbs, more sugar...etc! So 

pick and choose not only what you’re eating but when too! 

7. Drink Wisely! 

If you don’t love something, don’t drink it! If you’re 

feeling crappy, don’t drink! If you need to have a productive 

day the next day, think twice about the 2nd 

or 3rd drink (easier said than done)! Drink when 

you can enjoy it and don’t give in to the social 

pressure of drinking! It’s your life, your 

body, your decision! Stay strong and 

that’s it! 

Lastly remember, falling off track 

happens all the time! The deal is to not beat 

yourself up and to get back on track! The best 

thing you can do is NOT let it snowball! The 

snowball is what really tends to get most of us 

in trouble! One “off” meal or day even, which 

leads to another which leads to another! 

Then before we know it, it’s been one week 

and you haven’t had one clean meal. Always 

remember you are only one meal away from 

getting back on track! Another reason why 

working out or moving everyday will help keep 

your head in the game!

5. Pick and Choose! 

The holiday season usually brings lots of social 

events, meals out, extra alcohol, etc! This is why 

it’s so important to PLAN your week ahead and pick

Spencer 

Knight 

Interviewed and written by Emily Peters 

Photos by Eliot J. Schechter and Lauren Sopourn 

Most people you meet in life 

want to help you achieve 

your goals. Spencer Knight 

however, is tasked with doing 

the exact opposite. 

“I don’t remember my life 

before hockey.” 

As the 2019 first round, 13th overall draft pick, Knight 

is one of two goaltenders currently on the Florida 

Panthers 2022-23 season roster. Making his introductory 

appearance just one day after his twentieth 

birthday, the ice hockey prodigy is currently the youngest 

goalie in the NHL. 

“I want to put forth my best effort, win for my team, have 

a positive impact on my community down here, and do all 

that with a smile. As professional athletes, we should hold 

ourselves to a high standard, no matter what age.” 

The Darien, Connecticut native has been skating since 

he was two-years-old, continuing his generational familial 

passion for the sport. 

“Both my parents played in school, and put me on 

ice skates at such an early age, that it became a natural 

routine. I knew once the winter months approached, it 

was hockey season... and I was ready.” 

Joining the USA Hockey National Team Development 

Program in 2018, Knight set an all-time record 

by winning 59 games in two seasons. The talented 

netminder continued on, playing for the Boston 

College Eagles, where as a sophomore he was 

named the Hockey East Goaltender of the Year, and 

was a two-time finalist for the Mike Richter Award. 

COPYRIGHTED 


Spencer resumed his goalie position at the 2021 World Junior Ice 

Hockey Championships, helping to secure a gold medal for the 

United States. Advancing an already notable status, Knight began 

his Florida Panthers career as the 2020-21 season was coming 

to a close, and has afforded Panther fans one of the most exciting 

inaugural performances in NHL history. According to Knight, the 

feeling is reciprocated. 

“My introduction into the NHL was very unique because it was 

during covid, so we were in front of an empty arena. I started towards 

the end of 2021, and was able to play a few games with my 

new teammates. The following year was my first full season, which 

included a lot of learning and nerves. Conquering those beginning 

obstacles and becoming familiar with NHL level hockey was an interesting 

process.” 

FLA Live Arena located in Sunrise, Florida serves as the Panthers 

home base, and is now filled with onlookers cheering for their team. 

“It’s loud, which absolutely adds a fun element to the game 

while being a great reminder of what life was like before the 

pandemic. The fans here are full of energy, and their enthusiasm 

drives you to play your best.” 

Knight has reached a pinnacle of success not easily attainable, 

and from an outsider’s perspective, has done so at a seemingly 

breakneck pace. 

“Without a doubt it has gone by fast. When I take time to reflect 

on the past three years, sometimes the days feel long, but there’s 

so much going on during the season you don’t have a moment to 

think about it. In the summer is when I sit back and contemplate 

everything that has transpired.” 

Obtaining global recognition, Knight understands that in wearing 

Florida Panthers jersey number 30, he represents his team in 

everything he does on and off the ice. 

“You’re going to be judged whether you do or don’t do well, so you 

have to try and block out the noise. When I was young, hockey just 

seemed like an amazing sport to play, but it can be a lot of pressure 

when you are observed by millions of people. Those kids that look 

up to you, some might be in your shoes soon, so I make an effort to 

put a favorable image out there. Personally, I remember growing up 

If you’re 

stepping 

off the ice 

uninjured 

after a game, 

that’s a win 

in itself. 

striving to imitate Henrik Lundqvist, and watching to see how he 

carried himself in every day life, as well as how he played.” 

To hold the title of goaltender in the top tier of ice hockey, is to 

accept one of the most demanding jobs in sports. With vulcanized 

rubber pucks careening through the air at speeds of over 100 mph, 

risk of bodily trauma is constant. 

“There have been times when it creeps in my head how dangerous 

it can be, but we have great gear and protection. You can’t 

control the incoming shots, so you just have to go for it and have 

fun. If you’re stepping off the ice uninjured after a game, that’s a 

win in itself.” 

Knight continues to set records, becoming the first ever 

20-year-old to make his playoff debut in an elimination game. The 

Panthers rookie showed up to win, completing an impressive 36 

saves, which lead to a 4 - 1 home victory against the defending 

champions. When asked if he received advice from veterans on his 

team, Knight says he is grateful for any and all words of wisdom 

from those who have come before him. 

“Everyone’s situation is distinct. I definitely received some guidance, 

but the players lead mostly by example rather than simply 

telling you what to do. Ultimately I want to win hockey games, but 

you have to take it day by day. I enjoy the game when we beat our 

opponent, and some losses are harder than others... but there are 

always lessons to be taken from both. You either win or learn.” 

Knight has accepted a three-year extension on his initial contract, 

keeping him in Florida through the 2026 season. Bill Zito, General 

Manager of the Panthers, speaks about Knight with lofty praise and 

a wholehearted spirit. 

“Spencer is a phenomenal goaltender, as well as an exceptional 

athlete and person. He has thrived in his professional career, dedicating 

himself to his training through his first two seasons in our 

organization. With this extension, we are excited about the present 

and future of Panthers goaltending.” 

Spencer Knight, welcome to Florida. We’re thrilled you’re here.

month. Our real estate experience was truly unprecedented!” 

“…Julie’s attention to every detail from choosing the best real estate 

photographer, brochure design, to her recommendations for 

things we could do to make our home more desirable to buyers 

proved to be a winning combination…. our home went under contract 

in just days. Additionally, Julie kept us informed every step of 

the way, and we were thrilled that she delivered a sales price over 

the home appraisal estimate. We highly recommend Julie to sell 

your home as she truly works tirelessly to make all parties happy. 

Julie is …..simply the best.” 

Today’s complex real estate market requires innovative thinking 

to come to creative solutions whether you are buying or selling. 

It takes so much more than just showing properties and writing 

contracts to obtain a successful sale or purchase. Let Julie be your 

guide to navigate you through the buying or selling process!

Lindsey Mygatt and Curtis Bennett 

Real Estate Pros with 

Smarts and Smiles 

By diane feen 

If Lindsey Mygatt and Curtis 

Bennett were ball players, they 

would be on the “All-Star” Team. 


The dynamic duo has been on the fast track in real estate 

sales since they coined themselves “The South Ocean Group” 

within the Coldwell Banker Realty umbrella. 

Their success started early on. They earned the Coldwell Banker 

Rising Start Award in Southeast Florida and have been named one 

of the “top 30 Real Estate Agents Under the age of 30.” The award 

is for driving sales, serving clients, and giving back to their community. 

They were International President’s Circle Award winners, 

putting them in the top 7% of the company internationally. 

The reason for all the accolades bestowed upon them is their 

“can do” attitude and relentless striving to surpass client satisfaction. 

They are in it to win it – and are customer centric to a fault. 

“Now more than ever, we believe in the importance of providing 

white glove service to our clients.” 

Their goal is to make the real estate process efficient, successful, 

stress-free, and fun for their clients. And the two go-getters are 

always on call to help clients from start to finish – and well after the 

transaction too. 

“We are not ‘Lock Box’ agents. We attend every showing for our 

listings (and buyers) and are hands-on and proactive. We gain our 

client’s trust and confidence with our in-depth market knowledge, 

full-service approach, and passion for helping them meet their real 

estate goals, big or small.” 

Their stellar reputation in the community is due to their motto: 

“No one will work harder than the South Ocean Group to make sure 

clients are satisfied.” 

The by-product of this attention to detail and (care for each client’s 

needs) is friendship. It’s hard not to be in awe of this young couple 

who are charming and bright, kind-hearted, and hard-working. 

Many of their clients say that Lindsey and Curtis are not only 

their trusted realtors but also their friends. “The relationships we 

have built with our clients go well past the closing table.” 

It seems this love fest goes both ways. 

“How lucky I was to find Lindsey and Curtis from Hawaii. They 

supported me all along the way. Their responses to my questions 

and needs were fast, helpful, knowledgeable, and positive. Their 

friendly and pleasant personalities are genuine; they are really nice 

people. I give them my very highest recommendation.” 

Lindsey and Curtis are charmed not only by the real estate industry 

but by Delray Beach. The two live in Delray, play in Delray and 

think the sun sets a little brighter on the streets of Delray (and the 

surrounding area).

You’ll see them ‘golf-carting’ around Delray Beach, whether 

showing property, traveling down A1A at sunrise (for a few moments 

of relaxation) before a busy day, or on their way to dinner on 

Atlantic Avenue. 

This deep love of the real estate industry – and their desire to be 

the best they can be - comes naturally to the pair with a real estate 

heritage. Lindsey grew up learning the trade from her father, who 

has been with Coldwell Banker Realty for 35 years. Curtis grew up 

with a passion for real estate because his grandfather was a successful 

real estate developer in Connecticut. 

But it is not generational consideration that has spurred them to 

climb the ladder toward success; it is sheer joy at the art of selling 

real estate. 

“We were born to do this!” 

They are also bullish on its lasting inherent value. 

“Even though these are changing times in the real estate market, 

Delray is standing strong and is stabilizing. Iconic markets like Delray 

Beach, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach are prime locations that can 

stand the test of time through any changing market.” 

Although interest rates are rising, now is a good time to buy property, 

according to Lindsey. “Competition is lower than it has been 

since the pandemic, and buyers have more choices now. Buyers do 

not have to make substantial concessions like we have seen over 

the last few years. Now buyers have the opportunity to negotiate.” 

It’s also a good time to sell. “Inventory is still low, and there 

are still many buyers who want to call south Florida home. When 

priced right, sellers are still getting top dollar for their homes. It 

takes a good, customized marketing plan to get as many eyes on 

your property as possible. Now more than ever, having a knowledgeable 

local agent that has boots on the ground and knows the 

area well is important.” 

Lindsey and Curtis are adamant that Delray Beach is an idyllic 

place to work and play. 

The duo has their favorite Delray Beach things-to-do list (move 

over Oprah). And you’ll know when you see them, they’ll be cruising 

the savvy streets of Delray in their golf cart, smiling and supporting 

local merchants. 

Their favorite restaurant haunts are Casa L’Acqua, the Grove, and 

Brulé Bistro. Captain Clay’s Seafood is their favorite place to buy 

fresh seafood to take home and cook. And, on Saturday mornings 

(when not showing real estate), the couple supports the Delray 

Green Market and the Coco Market on the first Sunday of the month. 

Lindsey and Curtis specialize in selling real estate in Palm 

Beach County. 

Whether you’re local or out-of-state looking to find the perfect 

home, or considering selling your condo, oceanfront oasis (or country 

club property), they would love to be part of your home-buying, 

selling, or investing journey!

BOB GARFIELD 

Putting the Pro in 

Professional Real Estate Sales 

By diane feen | Photos by melissa korman 

Bob Garfield sees life from all vantage points. That is 

one of the reasons he has garnered a long list of loyal 

clients who tout his professionalism and abilities. 

COPYRIGHTED 

Enjoying the view from Casa Del Mar LUXUry townhouse community - Boynton bEACH wHEre one of his listings is located 

He is straightforward, honest, and hard-working for every client 

he deals with. Garfield has a positive outlook on the current 

Palm Beach County real estate market and is realistic 

about its long-term growth. 

“I see a changing real estate market. The days of a property hitting 

the market with several buyers engaging in bidding wars the 

same day are long gone. The good news is that I see a return to a 

healthy balance between buyers and available inventory,” said the 

Miami native and former retail executive. 

According to Garfield, the current and long-term prognosis for 

the Southeast Florida real estate market is that it will remain in 

high demand. 

“Many people living in high-density, metropolitan areas like New 

York City, LA, and Chicago are seeing the benefits of wide-open 


typical DAY at the delrAY bEACH office 

spaces, beautiful beaches, and abundant sunshine. I see the demand 

for real estate continuing to be healthy and robust.” 

Bob has been selling real estate for over a decade and knows the 

Florida market extensively. He has lived in Delray Beach for over 18 

years and sells property all over Palm Beach and Broward Counties. 

“I do what it takes to get to the finish line and am always nearby to 

assist my clients well after the sale is completed.” 

You bet he does; just ask his clients. “Bob did an excellent job 

of marketing my property. He made sure buyers knew the value of 

my property, that it was in high demand, and was a quick walk to 

Atlantic Avenue. Bob is very knowledgeable and detail-orientated, 

making the process easy and stress-free.” 

Garfield knows a lot about managing a business. He was a department 

store executive and national sales manager for several 

large home textile companies. He has an eye for property valuation 

and a strong desire to help buyers and sellers meet their real 

estate expectations. 

It is crucial to Bob that he gets to know his customer’s needs 

and desires right from the start of any transaction. That way, he 

can make sure they are satisfied with the outcome. “If my client’s 

goals are fulfilled, I know I’ve done my job. I am a real estate professional, 

but my goal is to get to know my customers and the 

property I show them.” 

Garfield has always been this way. It is why he was a successful 

executive in the retail industry and why he is someone who shines 

brightly in the real estate industry. He is also a rarity in the South 

Florida terrain. He was born in Miami, Florida, and understands 

why people want to move here. 

Garfield understands market values and how to match clients’ 

needs and lifestyles to specific neighborhoods and communities. 

“I encourage a back and forth-give and take dialogue with my 

sellers and buyers so that they are a part of the process and feel 

comfortable. It is important to know everything about the property 

you are buying and the one you might sell. That way, you can make 

prudent – and accurate - decisions.” 

Garfield listens to his clients and provides years of expert advice 

on matters they need to know. After all, buying a new home is one 

of the biggest decisions in one’s life. “I know that buyers and sellers 

need the best advice on how to move forward successfully. That’s 

why I take representing my customers very seriously and have the 

experience to bring the transaction to fruition.” 

He also handles most of the negotiating for his clients in the real 

estate transaction. This ensures their experience is positive and 

free of stress. “Life can be stressful,” adds Garfield, “but buying or 

selling property doesn’t have to be. I make sure my clients are professionally 

and competently represented from start to finish.” 

Garfield’s words are not empty promises. His clients can attest 

to that. 

“Bob Garfield is a true real estate professional. He is personable, 

knowledgeable, patient, and caring. He understands what’s important 

in the process of successfully selling your home. Bob will take 

the time to help you understand what will work best in preparing 

your home for the market, help you with any contractor services 

you may need, and advise you through the entire process.” 

Part of the Garfield touch is that he helps clients get the resources 

they need to get their property ready for sale. He finds them reliable 

repair experts with his list of tried-and-true painters, plumbers, 

electricians, and other contractors. 

There is another side to this real estate professional – he is an 

accomplished musician. “I see a strong synergy between music and 

Real Estate. Things rarely go as planned on stage or in real estate 

sales. Whether it’s a broken guitar string or making sure a contract 

is executed correctly, the same clear thinking, astute listening skills, 

and calm reaction under pressure is required.” 

Invasion Duo’s musical project specializes in early 60’s British 

tunes. You can see him perform at Tim Finnegans Irish Pub in Delray 

Beach or Crazy Uncle Mike’s in Boca Raton. 

Another part of Bob’s success is his marketing efforts when selling 

his client’s properties. “I feature their property in mass social 

media campaigns, large monthly magazine ads, and mail postcards 

showcasing their home to create interest.” 

With his corporate success as a marketing and sales professional, 

Garfield understands customers’ needs and thrives on providing 

perfection for both buyers and sellers. ` 

“I’m committed to providing my clients with professional services 

based on my experience, knowledge, and skills. I’m humbled to 

be the real estate agent of choice for those who want a great experience 

buying or selling a home.”

Creating Homes that 

Define Luxury Living 

By diane feen | Photos are renderings by TekVisual 

Seaside Builders know discerning 

home buyers want to live every day 

as if they were on vacation. 

And if life in South Florida doesn’t resemble the true essence 

of a vacation lifestyle, then what does? 

That’s why this award-winning residential contractor specializes 

in building luxury custom homes and condominiums that define 

open spaces and a balanced lifestyle. 

They also create homes for those who want to live in the epicenter 

of ultimate comfort, elegance, and irresistible modernity. 

Seaside has found an oasis of serenity where others have not ventured 

before. But then again, Seaside is the pioneer of good taste, 

creating luxury homesteads that make life a little sweeter and more 

harmonious. 

Their newest project is a 6,900 total square-foot single-family residence 

being built at 1126 Vista Del Mar, a block from the beach and a 

short walk from Atlantic Avenue. 

This modern transitional home has luxury living at its core. It has 

5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and a flexible living area accommodating 

any need or lifestyle. The two-story foyer adds majesty to a clean 


COPYRIGHTED 

and modern architectural style. The inside of the house is bathed in 

natural light with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that seamlessly 

integrate the interior and exterior spaces. 

There is also a spacious open designer Chef’s Kitchen with quartz 

countertops, a large pantry area, state-of-the-art appliances, and an 

oversized center Island. 

If you ask Laudani, he will tell you that today’s homes differ from 

the ones of the past. “Home Design is going through a transition 

today based on the changing American lifestyle. Floridians want 

homes that offer as many amenities as possible so they can accommodate 

specific family needs.”

Homeowners today want gyms, movie theaters, media rooms, 

dressing rooms, entertainment, and technology areas in their homes. 

They also want to integrate the great outdoors with indoor living 

spaces. That is why the new home at 1126 Vista Del Mar has an outdoor 

entertainment area with spacious seating areas, a spectacular 

swimming pool, and a loggia with an outdoor kitchen. 

There are two bedrooms on the main floor with full bathrooms, 

walk-in closets, and access to the loggia and pool area. The primary 

ground-floor bedroom has a lavish bathroom, a walk-in shower with 

hand-held body sprays, and a relaxing soaking tub. The second floor 

has three bedrooms and three full modern luxurious bathrooms. 

This single-family home is a block from the beach and Atlantic 

Avenue. It is also less than two miles from the renowned Gulf Stream 

Golf Course and the esteemed Gulf Stream private school. The home 

is currently under construction, with a completion date in 2023. 

Seaside is also building a three-story, nine-luxury condo 

development at 1405 N. Federal Highway. This single-level living 

brings the owner the comfort and privacy of a home with a resort 

lifestyle vibe and full amenities. 

The three-story condo offers privacy and luxury without the 

maintenance of a single-family home. There are four bedroom, three 

bedroom, and two bedroom condos ranging from 2,100 square feet 

to 3,100 square feet. They have floor-to-ceiling windows, private 

terraces, and balconies. 

There is also a large resort-style pool and spa that reflects boundless 

resort-style living. 

This condominium will have a secured lobby entrance, private elevators 

for residents, and outdoor showers. A Barbeque Area has 

Fire Pit seating and the Fitness Center has state-of-the-art high-tech 

equipment. A private Pavilion nearby has a comfortable covered 

Pergola seating area as well. 

There is also covered parking with ample spaces for residents and 

guests. Residents also have access to secured storage rooms. 

This quaint lush area North of Atlantic Avenue is one that Seaside 

co-owner Thomas Laudani is bullish on. And if anyone knows land 

and its inherent value and quality, it’s Laudani. 

His 35 years of construction experience have made him one of the 

finest builders of luxury homes and condos in South Florida. 

Laudani has this to say about the Northeast area of Delray 

Beach. “This new area North of Federal Highway is an area that has 

been neglected. There has been substantial development south of 

Federal Highway, but we feel that this area is the new frontier for 

residential development.” 

The “we” includes Laudani’s partner Patrick Whyte, who also is 

part of what is defined as Delray’s pre-eminent builders. Their commitment 

to excellence is unparalleled, and their attention to detail 

is beyond comprehension. 

Broker of Premier Estate Properties, Pascal Liquori, has this to 

say about Seaside. 

“Tom Laudani is truly a master builder. His years of experience give 

him the ability to focus on clients’ objectives and deliver a completed 

project that exceeds their expectations. Whether a renovation or 

building a new house, his impeccable reputation and integrity are the 

hallmarks of his success.” 

Partner Whyte is also legendary for delivering the Seaside promise 

of top-notch luxury construction. His expertise is in all areas of construction 

and development, and he has been a licensed Florida General 

Contractor for many years. 

“We have a strong project management team, which is key to our 

success. Our years of experience in the building business has given us 

the ability to fine-tune the construction process to maximize comfort 

and ease for homeowners,” said Laudani. 

Seaside also has a loyal team that is well respected for its passion 

and knowledge of design and craftsmanship. “My belief is that execution 

and great people create the best business model for prosperity,” 

said Laudani, known for challenging the status quo to meet (and succeed) 

the growing appetite for luxury living in South Florida.

Lifespace Communities 

that Enrich Life for Seniors 

By diane feen 

Right here in Delray Beach, just miles from the beach and Atlantic 

Avenue, are two senior living communities that emphasize living. 

They are known as Abbey Delray and Abbey Delray South and are 

owned and operated by Lifespace Communities. Only a mile from 

each other, each has a distinct flair and lifestyle options. 

The Lifespace brand is one of the largest senior living companies 

in the country. 

And what they want people to know is that senior living is 

more than just a sleepy retirement community. Quite to the contrary, 

they have independent living in different size apartments, villas, and 

garden homes within each community. 

Abbey Delray offers the full range of care, and Abbey Delray South 

has single-family homes that can be as enticing as any home in South 

Florida. Studies have shown that keeping one’s mind stimulated 


and being active and sociable contributes to a longer, happier, and 

healthier life. The good news is that Abbey Delray and Abbey Delray 

South offer resort-style living with all the excitement and entertainment 

one would want. They have over 20 exercise classes per week 

(including Yoga and Tai chi) and courses and lectures to keep your 

mind active and creative. 

To ensure that residents have an active, fulfilling life, there is a 

lifestyle director who plans social, cultural, and intellectually stimulating 

activities. Exposure to educational and physical activities in a 

supportive, nurturing environment is a win-win for everyone. 

Abbey Delray recently underwent a $28 million renovation that 

provides outdoor dining, a cocktail lounge, assorted dining venues, 

and new state-of-the-art assisted living and memory care apartments. 

There is also transportation for shopping, medical appointments, 

and local events. If a resident has their own car, they can easily 

come and go as they please. 

The good news is that independent living comes with many 

stress-free components –maintenance, landscaping, weekly housekeeping, 

flat linen service, and 24-hour gated security. 

If you’re retired and ready for the good life, you can have it at your 

fingertips at Abbey Delray and Abbey Delray South. 

Amenities include a Fitness Center with a fitness director, heated 

pool and whirlpool, billiard room, art studio, library, beauty salon, 

and non-denominational spiritual leader with weekly services. 

COPYRIGHTED

“When we are young, we don’t think about the future. But as people 

age, they start to think about the what-ifs. Those uncertainties 

are what people plan for as they get older. At Lifespace, they call this 

“having a smart plan in place.” 

Jennifer Stevens, Executive Director of Abbey Delray South, explains 

it this way. “It’s very important for people to understand what 

a Continuing Care Retirement Community is. You can stay in your 

independent living home until you need another level of care. This 

would include assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing.” 

What is so perfect about these two communities is that they have 

varying care levels available, so you never have to leave the Abbeys. 

“We encourage people to move in when they’re in their early 70s 

because they get to enjoy all the amenities of the community while 

planning (and having control) over their future. 

Residents get to indulge in community activities (travel) and enjoy 

a stress-free lifestyle. But, if they need medical support, skilled 

nursing, or memory care, it’s on the premises.” 

If you are in their Independent Living facility and you exhaust 

your financial resources, through no fault of your own, they will take 

care of you for the rest of your life. “You don’t ever have to leave; it’s 

like having a long-term care insurance policy,” Stevens adds. 

For one woman, Abbey Delray has been the perfect place for her 

mother. She is in independent living, but she will move to their assisted 

living facility when she is ready. 

“Everyone at Abbey Delray is warm, welcoming, positive, and 

loves where they live. My mom has been in independent living, 

and it’s like a hotel; it’s beautiful. They have lots of activities, and 

the staff is wonderful. My mom plays cards; they have arts and 

crafts, reading groups, exercise, movies, and lectures. I have peace 

of mind knowing that when she’s ready, she can go to their assisted 

living facility.” 

Abbey Delray South offers spacious one, two, and three-bedroom 

apartments or single-family homes. It sits among lush gardens and 

a landscaped courtyard just 2.5 miles from the beach. They call it 

“carefree resort-style living with lock-and-leave convenience.” 

At Abbey Delray, their multimillion-dollar expansion and renovation 

includes a Performing Arts Center for banquets and performances

Stevens is so impressed with the facilities at Abbey Delray South 

that her family resides there. “My in-laws have lived in Abbey Delray 

South for over two years. They love it, and I would not have moved 

them there if I did not believe in what we have to offer.” 

Abbey Delray has independent living, private and semi-private 

apartments, and assisted living and memory care suites. This gives 

residents the independence they want with an uplifting quality of 

life. It also offers long-term peace of mind for residents and their 

families. They get on-site clinics, rehabilitation therapies, and longterm 

nursing care access from expert practitioners if necessary. 

Visit Abbey Delray and Abbey Delray South. The reasons are as 

varied as the shape of the moon. But one thing is for sure, you can 

do more, enjoy more, and be more at Abbey Delray and Abbey Delray 

South. 

These active adult communities embrace possibilities while engaging 

residents with the opportunity to socialize, thrive, and live 

each day with purpose.

Lemore Zausner 

She’s Got Moves 

Local Zealot to International Agent at Large 

By Lesley Marlo | Photos by tom craig 

Well-known in our area as a zealot for all things local, 

Lemore Zausner is spreading her wings, zigzagging across 

the globe to help her clients buy and sell lakeside villas to 

penultimate penthouses, and maybe even a castle or two. 

Here in her hometown of Delray Beach, Lemore can often be 

spotted cruising around in her golf cart, showing property, 

volunteering, shopping local boutiques, and attending community 

events. Her passion for the Gold Coast lifestyle is simply 

undeniable and completely contagious, as her clients are quick to 

find out. 

Delray proper and the stretch of coastal communities north and 

south are her most traversed territories for both work and play, but 

Lemore’s firecracker enthusiasm and dedication to her craft defy 

boundaries. 

As the world reemerged post-COVID lockdowns, Lemore was 

ready for action, not just closing deals in record speed, but also expanding 

her reach. By forging relationships with locals and fellow 

pros in faraway lands, she has literally unlocked a world of possibilities 

for her clients. 

On the Move 

A peek at her Instagram reveals that this girl gets around. Miami 

to Port St. Lucie, Florence to Sardinia, Tel Aviv, Dominican Republic, 

Columbia, and San Francisco are a handful of locations in her eyecandy 

feed. Each bite-sized post will make you fall in wanderlust, 

and it’s no surprise she’s got that knack. 

A New York native, Lemore was an award-winning professional 

photographer and has a master’s degree in Urban Planning from 

NYU. That knowledge, her keen eye, and her New York City hustle 

combine well for her clients dreaming of a new place to hang their 

swim trunks. 

While she’s been intensely busy keeping up with the deluge of aspiring 

Florida residents clamoring for a piece of paradise, somehow 

Lemore found time to forge a network of connections in time zones 

around the world. Sombreros to fedoras, beanies to ball caps, there is 

one hat she never takes off – Lemore is ever the real estate devotee. 

‘Let’s Make a Move’ is her 

tagline, and when it comes to 

moves, it seems that Lemore’s 

got all the right ones. 

COPYRIGHTED 

Move oVEr Miami 

In the past year alone, she’s been to the Middle East, South America, 

Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, and all over the U.S. Her travels 

find her snapping pictures in penthouses atop Israel’s chicest city 

to seaside shanties in Sardinia. Even on vacation, she makes it a 

point to visit the local real estate offices, a pastime that has opened 

doors of opportunity–for herself and her clients–far beyond the 

borders of the Sunshine State. 


“American clients are looking outside the U.S. more than ever,” 

Lemore shares. “Instead of moving or buying a second home in another 

state, they’re keeping their primary residence in Florida and 

buying vacation homes in other countries.” 

She adds, “We have three international airports within an hour’s 

drive, so traveling abroad is easier than getting to a lot of places in 

America.” 

This also attracts clients from other countries who are looking 

for a place here in seductive south Florida. 

“Co-marketing and co-collaboration efforts can reach a much 

broader audience,” says Lemore about working with agents in other 

countries. 

Miami is well known as a star-studded locale and melting pot of 

cultures, but Palm Beach County is skyrocketing in popularity worldwide. 

Boca ditched its reputation as the place everyone’s grandparents 

live, and Delray Beach is officially on the radar, with international 

tennis events, thriving arts and cultural programs, nightlife, dining, 

and notoriety as the “Most Fun Small Town in America.” 

Market Moves 

Those of us who have lived here more than a year witnessed just 

how hot Florida’s housing market can get, with soaring listing prices, 

bidding wars, and sight-unseen closings. Today, the two questions 

on the minds of both buyers and sellers are: 

Is the south Florida housing market going to freeze up? 

And, are prices going back to “normal”? 

According to Lemore, the short answer is, no. “While interest 

rates have risen, they are still at historic lows and many entering 

the market are cash buyers,” she reminds. “I don’t see prices going 

down here, as demand remains high. I see properties on the market 

a little longer, but if it’s desirable and priced right, it will fly.” 

Today’s market also allows buyers a more reasonable process 

and more peace of mind. “A big change for the better,” she says, “is 

that buyers are no longer foregoing contingencies in order to be 

more competitive.” 

People are still moving to Florida in droves – almost 1,000 per 

day according to surveys, US Census Bureau Data, and industry 

metrics. Whether they come from the northeast, California, or overseas, 

everyone needs more than a house. They need information, 

references, and endorsements for schools, services, and everything 

it takes to truly “live” in south Florida. This is another way Lemore 

sets herself apart. 

Making the Moves 

Buyers benefit from her area insight along with “Lemore’s local 

treatment” – concierge services and connections only an insider 

like Lemore can offer: referrals and hook ups to perks, including 

golf cart rentals, hard-to-get restaurant reservations, and can’tmiss 

events. Plus, references for services like housekeeping, landscaping, 

interior décor, and even pet sitting help make her clients’ 

moves seamless and integration as warm and inviting as the climate 

that draws them here. 

Her finger on the pulse of everything local, including market nuances, 

works to the advantage of the sellers as well; after all, it’s 

lifestyle people are buying, not just walls and a roof. “I’d never stick 

a lockbox on a listing and assume the house will sell itself,” she says. 

This latest mission is to extend that local touch, setting her sights 

on destinations far beyond Florida. 

“Finding your perfect place takes work and insight, but that’s 

just the beginning. And when you’re shopping from another state 

or country, local connections can make a huge difference in your 

quality of life there. That’s what I aim to deliver.” 

And that is a nice move!

Chamber of Commerce 

Celebrating the City of Delray 

and the People Who Make It Great 

By Diane Feen | Photos by MasterWing Creative Agency anddiane feen 

It was a gathering 

of like minds and 

contiguous hearts. 

The Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce 

pulled out all the stops and 

created one of the most ambitious 

and exciting events this year. Called “We 

are Delray,” the evening soiree drew over 

250 people and honored those in the community 

who contribute to its greatness. 

If you think that honoring local businesspeople 

would be a high-pitched 

snore, you’re wrong. The chamber team 

came up with unique ideas for contests, 

awards, and fun-filled games that were 

just a bit removed from the norm. 

Take the Chopper Dropper, for instance. 

Guests gravitated to the outdoor terrace 

of the Seagate Country Club. With great 

anticipation, hundreds of people waited 

for a helicopter to drop golf balls on the 

course. Guests bought the balls for $20 

(they sold 400), and they were dropped 

on the course with numbers attached. The 

winner was the first ball to land in a hole 

(Jesse Sowards). 

They also sold beaded necklaces that enabled 

people to play “Head or Tails.” Guests 

were asked to put their hand on their head 

or tail, and a coin was tossed to determine 

a winner (after quite a few were tossed). 

The winner, Janey Ciampi Bass, took home 

a gift basket with goodies and a half-page 

ad in Atlantic Ave Magazine. 

There were photo ops on an 8-foot banner 

with logos of event sponsors. The presenting 

sponsor was Posh Properties, and 

other sponsors included International 

Materials, Revive!, PNF Accountants & Advisors, 

CDS Holdings, The Plaza at Delray, 

Stuart & Shelby, and more.

Through the haze and motion of all the activity, networking 

reared its head with a vengeance. After two years of quiet confinement, 

everyone wore their metaphorical party hat. 

“I enjoyed meeting, greeting, and catching up with colleagues. 

Some I had not seen in quite a while. The layout of the club allowed 

attendees to network and connect. The event agenda not only included 

the awards for the best of the best in our community, but 

the whole evening was buzzing with high energy with fun and interactive 

games and activities. It was a wonderful time,” said Shona 

Castillo, Caring Kitchen Program Director. 

Castillo was right. Rumor has it there was a wine wall and hula 

hoop game, but for those who don’t tip the meter much over five 

feet, it was an array of seeing old friends and making new ones. It 

was a fun night where high heels or a tall stature came in handy. 

Mary Giuseffi rolled out her pink carpet to do interviews with 

guests for the filming of her show, Suddenly Sensational. The statuesque 

fashion (and brand) maven got everyone gushing about Delray 

Beach’s camaraderie and its inhabitants’ kinship. 

“We are Delray” is the Chamber’s Annual fundraising event, and it 

did not disappoint. “’ We are Delray’ had the most sponsors and attendees 

of any Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce event in recent 

years,” said Sarah Mears, Marketing Director of the Delray Chamber. 

There were auction items and trays of goodies that kept coming

doing extraordinary things, the annual Chamber awards were bestowed 

upon those deserving of the moniker. 

The Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce 2022 Business Achievement 

Award Winners were: Conde Center for Chiropractic Neurology 

won Business of the Year, Jeffrey Fine of iTHINK Financial was 

Business Person of the Year, Habitat for Humanity of SPBC was 

Nonprofit of the Year, and the Crystal Palm Award for Community 

Service went to Shaun Hall. 

But if you ask most people who attended, they would likely agree 

that everyone was a hero in their own right. “The Chamber event 

was really fun. The food was great, and the club was beautiful. The 

best part of the evening was the guests who attended the event. 

I felt surrounded by like-minded people who care about Delray 

Beach!” said Judy Mollica of Ocean East Properties. 

The Delray Beach Chamber has approximately 800 members – 

businesses, professionals, and non-profits – that band together for 

support and good deeds. The event also heralded their 2023 Premier 

Partner, 4ever Young Delray. 

“It was so amazing to see the best of our community come together 

to celebrate each other’s successes. We are Delray, and we are Better 

Together!” said Stephanie Immelman, CEO of the Delray Chamber. 

She’s right.

Here Comes the Chief 

Delray Beach’s New Chief of Police Russ Mager 

If you’re afraid of heights, you might not want to read Chief Russ Mager’s 

resume. The 26-year Delray Beach police department veteran has scaled 

the depth and width of the department as if he were spiderman. 

But unlike a superhero, Chief Mager is very down-to-earth 

and relatable. He’s the person officers and others in the Police 

department rely on to make sound judgment calls and 

keep justice scales on equal footing. 

He’s also the person everyone counts on to keep his hands on 

the wheel when reality may shift under his feet. After all, Chief 

Mager has held almost every position in the Delray Beach Police 

Department. He started out in the Community Patrol Division, was 

a member of the SWAT Team, a Field Training Officer, TACT Team 

Officer, and Auto Theft Detective. He was a founding member of 

the Honor Guard Unit and was promoted to Sergeant in 2014. 

As a sergeant, his goal was to experience as much diversity in 

the role as possible. He was a Field Training Sergeant, Clean & 

Safe Unit Sergeant, and the Internal Affairs Sergeant. Mager was 

also assigned to the Investigative Division, where he served as 

the Crime Scene Sergeant, Property Unit Sergeant, and Crimes 

Against Persons Sergeant. 

In 2015 he was promoted to Lieutenant in the Community Patrol 

Division and then Administrative Lieutenant. He was also a 

Special Operations Lieutenant and Captain in the Investigative Division. 

In 2020 Mager was promoted to Assistant Chief of Police. 

On August 31st of this year, he took the moniker (and responsibility) 

of Chief of Police of the Delray Beach Police Department. 

To say that Chief Mager is an overachiever is like saying the sun 

rises in the East. The Florida native has always been one to work 

hard and view learning as something to be imbibed voraciously. 

He is a by-product of his upbringing. His father was a judge in the 

Palm Beach County Fourth District Court of Appeal and later became 

a private mediator. Though his father spent 60 years in the 

legal profession (and his brother is a lawyer), the legal profession 

did not appeal to Mager. 

Instead, he found joy and success in the hospitality industry. He 

started as a front desk clerk (in a hotel) making $5.35 an hour nd 

was promoted to front desk supervisor. From there, he became a 

night manager. It wasn’t long before he was recruited as assistant 

general manager of a hotel in California, but after two years, he 

transferred to a hotel in Deerfield Beach. 

“I loved working with people. I was always a talker. I’m not shy; 

I engage in conversation with others. I am also a fixer and like to 

help people.” 

But after six jobs and eight years in the hotel industry, Mager 

was looking for a change. When his roommate suggested he work 

as a police officer in Delray Beach, Mager was non-plussed. 

“My roommate thought I would do well as a police officer, but I 

said no thanks. After a year, I did a ride along and got a front-row 

seat to ‘see a day in the life of a police officer.’” 

The rest is history – 26 years, to be exact. Mager filled out an 

application, was accepted, and was sent to the police academy. A 

year later, he became a road patrol officer. 

If you believe that destiny plays a strong role in life, you have 

to believe that Chief Mager was tailor-made for a career in law 

enforcement. Others tend to agree. 

“Chief Mager served in the trenches and knows what police 

work is all about. He is methodical about the decisions he makes 

and does what’s best for the organization and its people. He 

knows what needs to be done and how to implement it,” said lieutenant 

Vinnie Gray of the DBPD. 

Mager is a rare find in the stratosphere that he inhabits because 

of his humility and kind demeanor. He is also quick to unearth the 

history of his strong work ethic. At age 13, he woke up at 4:30 

am, swept clay tennis courts by hand, and re-lined them. He also 

worked at a pet store cleaning cages and, in high school, parked 

cars at a country club. 

His good nature and ability to absorb information like a sponge 

have set the stage for success in whatever capacity draws him 

near. He credits his good nature to his mother, who “always has a 

smile on her face.” 

Others see the golden hue that tinges his genial smile as well. 

“Chief Mager is a genuine, authentic guy. He speaks to you honestly 

and has sincere concern for your opinions on all matters,” 

said Captain Anthony Martinez. 

Mager may be high up in the ranks of the Delray Police Department, 

but his sights are always at ground level. He was recently 

the announcer (and cheerleader) for the 10th Annual Guns N’ 

Hoses softball challenge between the DB police department and 

the DB fire rescue. 

As for the future of the DBPD, Chief Mager wants to reinforce 

the importance of treating people fairly and doing the right thing 

in the community. 

They will continue youth programs, such as high school baseball 

camps and criminal justice classes. “I like being in a position 

to effect positive change and Interact with people in the community. 

I want to be a great ambassador for law enforcement.” 

If you ask Perry DonFrancisco of Delray Citizens for Delray Police, 

he’ll tell you that Chief Mager’s mission is a slam dunk. “Chief 

Mager is a well-rounded, highly trained police professional. He is 

a great communicator and a believer in excellent service and will 

work hard to provide a safe community.” 

We agree.

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. 

102 | DEcember 2022 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

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.

BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM 

Is Inflammation the 

Cause of an Unhealthy Pet? 

Our goal as pet parents is to provide our companion pets with 

as happy and healthy lifestyle as possible. This is a major 

challenge in that they cannot always convey the conditions 

they are having. To make it more difficult, both the pharmaceutically 

dominated medical community and big food manufacturers 

are not promoting preventive measures but rather symptom mediation. 

Arthritis, colitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis and all the “itis” conditions 

are inflammatory conditions, not a disease. We listen to the 

experts giving us “health” advice and yet our pets are suffering from 

these common conditions and leading a shorter life. Inflammation 

is actually the body’s response to heal the body. It floods those areas 

with the proper cells, nutrition, hormones and other natural 

tools of the body in order to create healing, not temporary relief. 

Does prescribing anti-inflammatory drugs make sense in stopping 

that healing process? 

We are advised that our pets can only consume a man-made 

“science-based” artificial diet. Let’s look at these types of foods and 

understand where and why the problems start. 

The majority of commercial and veterinary pet foods start with 

corn as a base. First and foremost, carnivores don’t hunt, kill and 

consume corn in nature. Often, it is listed in several forms which 

makes it the majority ingredient. Today, most corn is genetically 

modified (GMO). Is that a safe ingredient? The modification is used 

to allow the corn plant to make an insecticidal product from within. 

These are poisons that affect the cells of the animals that consume 

them. In addition to the GMO plant, the crops are treated with a 

plethora of fungicides, pesticides, herbicides and other “cides” that 

are designed to kill something. Yes, those are all poisons too. 

As if this isn’t bad enough, these crops are sprayed with chemicals 

like glyphosate (Roundup and others) that we know also have 

high toxicity effects. Once transported to storage facilities, they are 

treated with more of “cides” to prevent damage to the integrity of 

the crop. 

Another form of corn commonly used as an ingredient is corn 

gluten meal. That is corn often combined with wheat gluten meal. 

We hear a lot about the intolerance of gluten in foods. 

Now these same corn products are fed to our food supply sources 

such as cattle, dairy, poultry and fish, thus contaminating those 

sources that are part of the pet foods. In addition to the these contaminated 

but “deemed safe” components, that are subsequently 

treated with chemical additives, preservatives, nutrients, flavors 

and other synthetics during processing. 

You can see that this is a recipe rich in oxidative stress and inflammation 

that feeds disease. So where is the science and the 

health in the foods with these ingredients? Where is the speciesspecific 

natural approach to food for our pets? 

Would it be better to eliminate and avoid the foods that cause 

these health challenges and instead feed a fresh, real species-specific 

rotational diet? It’s time that we look past the slick marketing 

of these major industries and educate ourselves to help our pets 

live an optimal life.
