from the 

editor 

Joyful 

June! 

It’s crazy to believe but we are nearly halfway through 

2023! Time flies when you’re hanging out in the 

‘Most Fun Small Town’… 

As the weather warms up, our town tends to quieten 

down but that doesn’t mean its not a busy month. 

Schools Out For Summer, so its always a busy time for those 

people with kids. Beach time, summer camps, day trips and 

keeping the little ones happy is a fulltime job! Don’t forget to 

invest in some ‘adult time’ and enjoy yourself at one of our many 

bars, spas, and restaurants. Keeping it local at this time of year is 

appreciated by all our vendors. 

Let’s hope it’s not a busy time for hurricanes. June 1st is the 

start of hurricane season, so if you’re new to the state or unsure of 

what preparations to make, read our article in this month’s issue. 

Sunday, June 18th is Father’s Day! This month we give ideas to 

spoil that special person in your life. It might be fishing, 

scuba diving, tennis, or simple chillaxing. Whatever 

you choose, we’ve got some super ideas to help 

make his day as special as he is. 

The following day, June 19th, we celebrate 

Juneteenth National Independence Day. 

It celebrates the freedom of slavery in the 

United States and has been observed by 

African Americans for more than 150 years. 

Our City Person this month is the welltraveled 

and current President and CEO of 

the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, 

Stephanie Immelman. 

See you next month when summer 

vibes will be in full swing!

Company was launched in 2022 to promote and produce musical

theatre in South Florida for the cultural development 

of young people in the performing 

arts. 

“What is striking about 13 is that it conveys 

emotions and insecurities that not 

only teenagers relate to – but that everyone 

does,” Langel says. “At its core, it’s a show 

about the raw vulnerability that comes 

with being true to yourself – something 

that resonates with people of all ages.” 

Evan Goldman has it all: He’s popular, has 

Jonathan Jacknow, Leah Steiner, and Kane Quiles 

the “perfect” family and lives in the world’s 

greatest city - New York. But when his parents’ 

divorce, he’s forced to move with his 

Mom…to Indiana. Uprooted from his old 

life, he must maneuver his way through the 

minefield of high school to become part of 

the ‘in’ crowd. 

Featuring a rock score by celebrated 

composer Jason Robert Brown, 13 will be 

performed by an astonishing cast of young 

local talent. 13 The Musical is a grown-up 

story about dealing with change and learning 

that becoming who you want to be 

starts with discovering who you are. 

Tickets for 13 The Musical are on sale 

and can be purchased online at https://offglades.booktix.com/

BY Janey Bass 

My name is Janey Bass. I have been a Delray Beach 

resident for 30 years and I credit my success to the 

blessing of many solid friendships and good people 

that have been put in my path along the way. Prior to real 

estate, I worked in interior design for 15 years owning a 

successful business. 

While juggling a business, I had the unique challenge of 

raising three children as a single mom. Being dedicated, loyal 

and ambitious are second nature to me. They are God’s gifts 

that He has equipped me with to get the job done! Working 

towards client’s goals daily, while being consistently inspired 

by my children, are the secrets to my success. 

Understanding how to help clients navigate the buying and 

selling process is how I became one of Posh Properties Top 

10 Agents. I specialize in selling off-market properties and 

flipping with developers as I understand the remodeling 

process and the potential profit that can be made in today’s 

market. Most importantly, I have been able to find my client’s 

homes for a price they never thought possible, while also 

relocating them into homes that together they’ve created 

their dream home.

locals only | deLRAY under $50 

By Darien Davies 

Delray Under $50 

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

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

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

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

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

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

Looking for something to do with dad on Father’s Day weekend? 

If he’s into cars, sunshine, and live music, look no further than 

the Second Annual Delray Beach Concours d’Elegance! June 

is Entrepreneurs “Do It Yourself” Marketing Month and this event, 

founded by local Max Zengage, is the best way you can show up, 

show support, and give back. The event boasts classic cars, vendors, 

and live music, and is a fun opportunity to spend time with dad and 

your community members. Held Saturday June 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 

p.m. at Old School Square, this free event is a sure-fire way to treat 

dad to some good ol’ fashioned quality time. Honestly, what could be 

better than a free classic car show in your own backyard? (Well, driving 

one home, but that’ll be on you.) You can even treat him to food at 

the event, or head to his favorite downtown restaurant for a burger 

and a beer. The double feel-good aspect is that the event benefits 

five Delray non-profits, including Achievement Center for Children 

& Families, Delray Citizens for Delray Police, Delray Fire Benevolent, 

Community Classroom Project, and Miracle League of Palm Beach 

County. So, mark your calendars and make sure dad is free, because 

it’s time to rev those Father’s Day engines. Please visit www.delrayconcours.org 

or call (561) 927-8605 

Loud and proud! 

June is Gay, Lesbian, 

Bisexual, 

Transgender Pride 

Month, which is a 

great reminder to 

love yourself and 

love others. In true 

Delray form, the City 

is celebrating with an 

event and everyone is 

invited! Join the City of Delray Beach for the Third Annual Pride 

Festival and Concert on June 10, 2023. The free event will start in 

Pineapple Grove with live entertainment and vendors and will end 

with one of the best Elton John Tribute bands around, ”Rocketman,” 

Music starting at 7:30 p.m. at Old School Square. Be sure to also 

check out the Pridescape painting of the inclusive flag at the Intersection 

of Northeast Second Avenue and Northeast First Street, 

in the historic district of Pineapple Grove, which the City of Delray 

Beach created in 2021. Not only is this a great way to celebrate the 

diversity in our city, but also to show support for your neighbors. 

And who doesn’t love jamming out to Elton John tunes in the night 

sky? Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561)

While Delray might not have a City zoo and aquarium, 

we have the next best thing: The Sandoway 

Discovery Center! It’s all the fun of a large animal-focused 

destination, but with the hands-on (literally) 

and personal touch that is perfect for first-time visitors 

and returning guests. June is National Zoo and Aquarium 

Month so get yourself over there and have some 

fun. The Sandoway Discovery Center offers a glimpse into 

South Florida’s fragile marine and freshwater environments 


through educational exhibits and programs. Visitors of all ages 

can get an up-close view of some of Florida’s native and invasive 

reptile species, can meet sharks and other fish at the coral 

reef pool, explore Southeast Florida’s largest private shell collection 

and join the team for special events such as Earth Day 

and beach clean-ups. The center’s library is a great resource to 

explore natural history and the environment. The observation 

deck, shell collection and native plant and butterfly garden also 

allow visitors to learn about our unique coastal environment. 

There’s also shark and stingray feedings, as well as aquarium 

feedings! Admission is $10 per person (ages three and older) 

and the Center is open every day except for Monday. Please visit 

www.sandoway.org or call (561) 274-7263 for more information 

and to purchase admission tickets. 

Something about being on or by the beach always invites 

a tasty cocktail directly to my vicinity. Good news is that 

we’re always by the beach! June is National Rum Punch 

Month and there has never been a better time to beat the summer 

heat than with a refreshing drink. Cabana El Rey offers their 

Cabana Rum Punch, described as a Caribbean masterpiece of 

light, dark and spiced rums shaken up with mango puree and 

a blend of fruit juices for $14. It is a delightful masterpiece! For 

another take on the punch, head over to Sandbar for their Cuban 

Punch, which is made with Bacardi raspberry rum, Bacardi 

mango rum, splash or amaretto, orange juice, pineapple juice 

and a splash of grenadine. Great news, it’s also available by the 

pitcher and they’re open daily at 11 a.m., so head over there before 

or (and!) after the beach to cool off. For a more inland experience, 

head over to Park Tavern for their take on the rum punch 

with their Guavalicious. Made with Plantation Rum, guava, fresh 

pineapple, grapefruit-serrano cordial for $12, you’ll be feelin’ 

fine in no time. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or 

call (561) 243-1077 for complete restaurant information. 

Thankful for Florida, there’s always time to enjoy the outdoors. 

We experience almost no weather-inhibiting days, 

save for the occasional hurricane. June is Great Outdoors 

Month and the perfect time to head outdoors and enjoy the 

pleasure of our peninsula. Maybe grab the bike and hit the Avenue 

from end to end, stopping for an al fresco lunch or happy 

hour along the way. The beach is always a must, so grab a towel 

(and a sub from Sandwiches By The Sea!) and a book and make 

yourself comfortable with a front-row seat to the best Atlanticfacing 

spot in town. Veteran’s Park is also a great destination, 

full of shade and plenty of people- and boat-watching opportunities. 

Or, take a stroll along the Intracoastal and enjoy viewing 

the endless blocks of historical and new homes along one of 

Delray’s slower streets. For a venue with a scene, head to Tin 

Roof for live music and some tasty food and beverages. Regardless 

of where you turn, there’s no bad spot in Delray! Please 

visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077 

for complete park and restaurant information.

A Beloved Delray Beach Mural is Revived! 

The “Dancing Pineapple” mural on the Chloe Building 

located at 135 E. Atlantic Ave. is regaining new life 

after more than a decade, as “Pineapple Paradise”. The 

original mural was painted by Anita Lovitt in 2008. In 2022, 

after water damage, the wall needed to be reconstructed 

along with window replacements. The mural location serves 

as gateway to the Pineapple Grove Arts District along NE 2nd 

Avenue north of Atlantic Avenue. 

Glayson LeRoy, owner of Galera Collective’s, collaborated 

with Chloe building owner, Lee Cohen, to revive the beloved 

mural. Both Glayson and Lee are long time Delray Beach 

residents and contribute to the City’s Arts & Cultural scene. 

Glayson partnered with another Delray Beach original, 

seasoned abstract graffiti-mural artist, Marcus “Grabster” 

Borges. Grabster, whose artwork is known throughout South 

Florida and internationally, is inspired from decades of 

independent study creating eclectic, colorful, dynamic, and 

skillful murals. 

COPYRIGHTED 

The new, “Pineapple Paradise” iconic landmark mural will 

be 30% larger than its predecessor and it reflects Delray’s 

subtropic feel, thriving flora and fauna, and scenes of boats 

sailing offshore in the nearby Atlantic Ocean. 

“The opportunity to collaborate with exceptional 

developers like Lee Cohen on this esteemed project for my 

hometown is a profound honor. He recognizes the dedication 

and hard work I’ve invested into Delray Beach’s public art 

scene,” states Glayson LeRoy, “In addition my coordination 

with Josh Abrams of the 324-development project at 3rd & 

3rd, concurrently producing the latest street level murals by 

Quake, that will enliven the Arts Alley Arts District.”

June 2nd 

► The Boogeyman Written by Stephen King 

High school student Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer are 

reeling from the recent death of their mother and aren’t getting much 

support from their father, Will (Chris Messina), a therapist who is 

dealing with his own pain. When a desperate patient unexpectedly 

shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying 

supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering 

of its victims. The Boogeyman is directed by the talented British 

genre filmmaker Rob Savage.

for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in 

a remote cabin with a twisted killer. Forced to play by his rules, the 

friends soon realize this ain’t no motherf****** game. The Blackening 

skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: if the entire cast 

of a horror movie is Black, who dies first? The Blackening is directed by 

American filmmaker Tim Story, of movies including The Firing Squad, 

Barbershop, Taxi, Fantastic Four, Hurricane Season, Think Like a Man 1 

& Too, Ride Along 1 & 2, Shaft, and Tom & Jerry. This stars Grace Byers,

murder, which brings unintended consequences to his timeline… The 

Flash is directed by the Argentinian filmmaker Andy Muschietti (aka 

Andrés Muschietti), who directed It: Chapter One and It: Chapter 

Two, plus the “Locke & Key” series for Netflix. This movie about 

The Flash is also about Batman (again), as well as Supergirl, filling 

in for Superman who is missing in this alternate reality. Ezra Miller 

returns starring as Barry Miller, with a cast including Sasha Calle as 

Supergirl, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, 

Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, plus Michael Shannon, Antje Traue,

► No Hard Feelings 

“A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.” While on the brink of 

losing her family’s home, Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence) discovers 

an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for 

someone to “date” their very introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, 

before he leaves for college. To her surprise, Maddie soon discovers 

the awkward Percy is no sure thing. No Hard Feelings is directed by 

comedy producer / writer / filmmaker Gene Stupnitsky, director 

of the film Good Boys previously, as well as some episodes of “The 

Office”; he was also a writer on “The Office”, “Bad Teacher”, and “Hello

Bridge as Helena. The full cast also features Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas 

Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Toby Jones,

American filmmaker James Mangold, director of the movies Heavy, 

Cop Land, Girl Interrupted, Kate & Leopold, Identity, Walk the Line, 3:10 

to Yuma, Knight and Day, The Wolverine, Logan, and Ford v Ferrari. 

The film will be set in 1969 in the middle of the Space Race, with 

Harrison Ford back as Indy. Meanwhile, Voller, a NASA member and 

ex-Nazi involved with the Moon-landing program, wants to “rectify 

the world and make it into a better place as he sees fit.” 

► Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken 

Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman (Lana Condor) is 

desperate to fit in at Oceanside High, but she mostly just feels 

invisible. She’s math-tutoring her skater-boy crush (Jaboukie Young- 

White), who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and she’s 

prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because 

her over-protective supermom (Toni Collette), has forbade Ruby 

from ever getting in the water. But when she breaks her mom’s 

#1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the 

warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from 

her commanding grandmother (Jane Fonda), the Warrior Queen of 

the Seven Seas. The Kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the 

world against the vain, power-hungry mermaids who have been 

battling with the Kraken for eons. There’s one major, and immediate, 

problem with that: The school’s beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea 

(Annie Murphy) happens to be a mermaid. Ruby will ultimately need 

to embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves…Kraken 

features an extraordinary cast that includes Emmy winner Colman 

Domingo as Ruby’s supportive dad, Emmy nominee Sam Richardson 

as Ruby’s enthusiastic uncle, and Blue Chapman as Ruby’s cool little 

brother, plus Toni Collette, Jaboukie Young-White, Annie Murphy, 

Will Forte, Nicole Byer, Ramona Young, and Jane Fonda.

You Could Make This 

Place Beautiful: A 

Memoir 

by MAGGIe Smith 

ife, like a poem, is a series of choices.” 

“L In her memoir You Could Make This 

Place Beautiful, poet Maggie Smith explores 

the disintegration of her marriage and her 

renewed commitment to herself in lyrical vignettes 

that shine, hard and clear as jewels. 

The book begins with one woman’s personal, 

particular heartbreak, but its circles widen 

into a reckoning with contemporary womanhood, 

traditional gender roles, and the power 

dynamics that persist even in many progressive 

homes. With the spirit of self-inquiry 

and empathy she’s known for, Smith interweaves 

snapshots of a life with meditations 

on secrets, anger, forgiveness, and narrative 

itself. The power of these pieces is cumulative: 

page after page, they build into a larger 

interrogation of family, work, and patriarchy. 

You Could Make This Place Beautiful, like the 

work of Deborah Levy, Rachel Cusk, and Gina 

Frangello, is an unflinching look at what it 

means to live and write our own lives. It is 

a story about a mother’s fierce and constant 

love for her children, and a woman’s love and 

regard for herself. Above all, this memoir is 

an argument for possibility. 

100 Places to See 

After You Die: A Travel 

Guide to the Afterlife 

by Ken Jennings 

Ever wonder which circles of Dante’s Inferno 

have the nicest accommodations? 

Where’s the best place to grab a bite to eat 

in the ancient Egyptian underworld? How 

does one dress like a local in the heavenly 

palace of Hinduism’s Lord Vishnu, or avoid 

the flesh-eating river serpents in the Klingon 

afterlife? What hidden treasures can be 

found off the beaten path in Hades, Valhalla, 

or NBC’s The Good Place? Find answers 

to all those questions and more about the 

world(s) to come in this eternally entertaining 

book from Ken Jennings. 

100 Places to See After You Die is written 

in the style of iconic bestselling travel 


guides—but instead of recommending mustsee 

destinations in Mexico, Thailand, or 

Rome, Jennings outlines journeys through 

the afterlife, as dreamed up over 5,000 years 

of human history by our greatest prophets, 

poets, mystics, artists, and TV showrunners. 

This comprehensive index of 100 different 

afterlife destinations was meticulously researched 

from sources ranging from the Epic 

of Gilgamesh to modern-day pop songs, video 

games, and Simpsons episodes. Get ready for 

whatever post-mortal destiny awaits you, 

whether it’s an astral plane, a Hieronymus 

Bosch hellscape, or the baseball diamond 

from Field of Dreams. 

Fascinating, funny, and irreverent, this 

light-hearted memento mori will help you create 

your very own bucket list—for after you’ve 

kicked the bucket. 

Hotel Laguna 

by Nicola Harrison 

In 1942, Hazel Francis left Wichita, Kansas 

for California, determined to do her part 

for the war effort. At Douglas Aircraft, she became 

one of many “Rosie the Riveters,” helping 

construct bombers for the U. S. military. 

But now the war is over, men have returned to 

their factory jobs, and women like Hazel have 

been dismissed, expected to return home to 

become wives and mothers. 

Unwilling to be forced into a traditional 

woman’s role in the Midwest, Hazel remains 

on the west coast, and finds herself in the bohemian 

town of Laguna Beach. Desperate for 

work, she accepts a job as an assistant to famous 

artist Hanson Radcliff. Beloved by the 

locals for his contributions to the art scene 

and respected by the critics, Radcliff lives 

under the shadow of a decades old scandal 

that haunts him. 

Working hard to stay on her cantankerous 

employer’s good side, Hazel becomes a 

valued member of the community. She never 

expected to fall in love with the rhythms of life 

in Laguna, nor did she expect to find a kindred 

spirit in Jimmy, the hotel bartender whose 

friendship promises something more. But Hazel 

still wants to work with airplanes―maybe 

even learn to fly one someday. Torn between 

pursuing her dream and the dream life she has 

been granted, she is unsure if giving herself 

over to Laguna is what her heart truly wants. 

You Can’t Joke 

About That 

by KAT Timpf 

In a 2019 study, 40% of people reported 

censoring themselves out of fear that voicing 

their views would alienate them from the people 

they care about most. Those people should 

probably not read this book in public. 

In You Can’t Joke About That, Kat Timpf 

shows why much of the way we talk about sensitive 

subjects is wrong. We’ve created all the 

wrong rules. We push ourselves into unnecessary 

conflicts when we should feel like we’re all 

in this together. When someone says “you can’t 

joke about that,” what they really mean is “this 

is a subject that makes people sad or angry.” 

Hilariously and movingly, Timpf argues that 

those subjects are actually the most important 

to joke about. She shows us we can find 

healing through humor regarding things you 

probably don’t want to bring up in polite conversation, 

like traumatic break-ups, cancer, 

being broke, Dave Chappelle, rape jokes, aging, 

ostomy bags, religion, body image, dead 

moms, religion, the lab leak theory, transgender 

swimmers, gushing wounds, campus censorship, 

and bad Christmas presents.

WE ARE 

DELRAY 

Two organizations that are working hard 

to make Delray the best village ever. 

Let’s start with Rotary International. 

Founded in 1905 in Chicago, what began 

with one club has, over the past 118 years, 

expanded to over 46,000 clubs worldwide. 

Their mission includes promoting peace, 

fighting disease, providing clean water, sanitation 

& hygiene, supporting mothers, babies, 

education, and the environment. Truly 

an “O.G.” of giving! 

The Rotary Club of Delray Beach was chartered 

in 1948 and has served our community 

for the past 75 years! Each year, the club 

provides dictionaries to all 3rd graders in 

Delray’s elementary schools. They also provide 

school supplies and host food drives, toy 

drives, and clothing drives for the Achievement 

Centers for Children and Families, the 

Milagro Center, the Drug Abuse Foundation,

Yo u r m o n t h l y f e a t u r e o f a l l t h i n g s D e l r ay f r o m 

Thanks to Over 50 Years of 

Service from These Two O.G.’s! 

The term “O.G.” has been used a lot in the media, especially 

in sports and music. But no matter where it is used, it is 

always prefaced with respect and awe. I am going to use this 

month’s We Are Delray article to describe two organizations 

held in deep respect and admiration here in Delray Beach. 

and other local organizations. They have 

planned beach clean-ups, planted trees, and 

helped restore the community through Love 

Delray. Over the past 75 years, the club has 

also awarded over $750,000 to graduating 

seniors in Delray Beach, providing ten $1,000 

scholarships annually. 

As club President Nick Basiaga explains 

Rotary’s vision statement, “Rotary is a global 

network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, 

leaders, and problem-solvers who see a 

world where people unite and take action to 

create lasting change – across the globe, in 

our communities, and in ourselves.” 

Our second, but no less important “O.G.” 

in town is Kiwanis Club. Started in 1915, the 

name Kiwanis was coined from an expression 

in an American Indian language Keewanis, 

which means we trade or we share 

our talents. And boy, do they! Now in their 

t h e 

C h a m b e r 

50th year, the Delray Beach Kiwanis Club is 

one of the fastest-growing Clubs in the state 

at a time when other service organizations 

struggle to remain vibrant. 

“All of us in the Delray Beach Kiwanis Club 

are grateful to members of the community 

for its support of our efforts to make the 

place that we care deeply for stronger,” said 

Pam Davidson, the current president. “We 

take pride in knowing we are making a difference 

in the lives of children and families 

one child at a time.” 

Local Kiwanis partnerships include 

Achievement Center for Children and Families, 

EJS Project, High School scholarships and 

support of the Delray Beach Police. The club’s 

current “On a Roll” campaign collected several 

thousand dollars’ worth in paper towels, 

wipes, other papers products and school supplies 

for Orchard View Elementary School. 

With respect and admiration, let’s cheer 

on these two O.G.’s. Thanks for helping make 

Delray GREAT!

Disc Injuries and 

Decompression 

Chiropractic care is a complementary and alternative 

form of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis, 

treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, 

particularly those affecting, but not limited to, the spine. 

One of the most common conditions that chiropractors treat 

is disc herniation, which occurs when the soft gel-like center 

of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its outer layer, 

resulting in pain, inflammation, and compression of nearby nerves. 

Cervical and lumbar spine disc herniation are two types of disc 

herniation’s that affect different regions of the spine. Cervical disc 

herniation occurs in the neck region and can cause pain, tingling, 

numbness, and weakness in the arms, hands, and fingers. Lumbar 

disc herniation, on the other hand, affects the lower back and can 

cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and feet. 

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach 

to treating cervical and lumbar 

spine disc herniation that aims 

to relieve pain, restore mobility, 

and prevent further damage to the 

spine. The most common chiropractic 

techniques used to treat 

disc herniation include spinal manipulation, 

mobilization, and decompression. 

Chiropractic adjustment, also 

known as spinal manipulation, involves 

the use of high velocity low amplitude 

(HVLA) movements to realign 

the spine and improve its function. This 

technique can help relieve pain and inflammation 

by reducing pressure on the affected 

nerves and promoting the flow of blood and 

nutrients to the affected area. Mobilization, 

on the other hand, involves the use of slow, 

gentle movements to stretch and strengthen 

the affected muscles and ligaments. This technique 

can help improve range of motion, reduce 

stiffness, and prevent further damage to 

the spine. 

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, 

also known as spinal decompression, involves 

the use of a special table or device to 


gently stretch and decompress the spine. This technique can help 

relieve pressure on the affected discs, reduce inflammation, and 

promote the healing of damaged tissues. 

Several studies have investigated the effectiveness of chiropractic 

care in the treatment of cervical and lumbar spine disc herniation. A 

2014 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled 

trials found that spinal manipulation and mobilization were effective 

in reducing pain and improving function in patients with cervical 

disc herniation. Similarly, a 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis 

of randomized controlled trials found that spinal manipulation 

and decompression were effective in reducing pain and improving 

function in patients with lumbar disc herniation. 

However, it is important to note that chiropractic care may 

not be appropriate for all patients with disc herniation. Patients 

with severe or progressive neurological deficits, cauda 

equina syndrome, or spinal instability may require more 

aggressive forms of treatment, such as surgery. 

In conclusion, chiropractic care can be an effective, 

non-invasive, and drug-free approach to treating cervical 

and lumbar spine disc herniation. The most common 

chiropractic techniques used to treat disc 

herniation include spinal manipulation, mobilization, 

and decompression. However, it is 

important to consult with a qualified chiropractor 

to determine whether chiropractic 

care is appropriate for your 

specific condition and to develop 

an individualized treatment 

plan that meets your unique 

needs and goals. Because allowing 

you to live your best 

life is in our best interests.

Surgery No, Transformation YES! 

Are you thinking about the 

latest and greatest procedure to 

change the shape of your body? 

Well question your decision before you put down that 

credit card. And I’m not talking about updating the boobies 

for a perkier look (I’ll be the first to tell you to go for 

that!), I’m talking about liposuction, fat transfers, booty implants, 

etc…all the procedures that promise a brand new you, and give 

you the look you always wanted, all those advertisements that just 

seem too good to be true. Sure, a shortcut seems appealing and ideal 

to some, or most…but you may want to think twice before going 

under the knife. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against all surgeries 

- I’m for the mom that has lots of excess extra skin. I’m for the one 

who has literally tried everything (and tried it the right way) and 

just needs that little extra help. I’m just weary against unnecessary 

procedures and here’s why: 

1Regret. I can’t tell you how many clients regret their surgery. 

After it’s done, there is no going back. The worst is 

when a client does go back to get a revision and it comes 

out worse. Before going in, you should ask yourself, “Is this my 

last resort, have I tried everything else? Would I really need lipo if 

I just cleaned up my diet? Do I really need booty implants, if I did 

all the right exercises - even if it took me 2-3 years or whatever 

the time frame may be?” 

2Longevity of results. Sure, you might look like a hot tamale 

for a quick minute but if you don’t have the foundation of a 

healthy lifestyle, the results will not last. I’ve had clients tell 

me they got lipo and gained it all back! Can you imagine spending 

all that time, money, and risks only to gain it all back. I never understood 

how one could think they can continue eating junk and the 

fat would never come back. That would be a miracle! If you learn 

how to eat and exercise correctly, those are the results that last. It 

may not be the quick fix you were hoping for but I can promise that 

you’ll really appreciate the results once you get there. 

3The bad fat. Plastic surgery does not get rid of the dangerous 

visceral fat that sticks around the organs. This type of fat can 

lead to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. If you think that 

after going under the knife, you’re going to become a “healthier” 

version of yourself, think again. Once again everything leads back 

to diet and exercise. No quick fix, but one that will help you live 

healthier, stronger, and longer. 

4Undesired results. This kind of goes along with the regret I 

mentioned above, but I can honestly say most of my clients 

that had various procedures are truly unhappy with the outcome 

for one reason or another. Dimpled bellies, drooping derriere 

implants, infected areas, boxy shapes, the list goes on. Most looks 

that the average client is after ARE attainable through eating clean 


and the right exercises. You might never have a booty like Kim Kardashian, 

but do you really want one? If so, then do what makes you 

happy, but know the results are not always as promised and you 

should to be prepared to deal with that possibility. 

Hopefully reading this article has given you a few points to consider 

before committing to surgery. Ultimately doing what makes 

you happiest is what is most important. Being informed and doing 

research will ensure you make the best decision for you!

Christian 

Thompson 

Interviewed and written by Emily Peters | Photo by Joan Marcus 

Christian Thompson, who skillfully portrayed his name-fellow 

in the Broadway adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, is 

once again leaving theater attendees on their feet cheering 

for more - all while smashing stereotypes on stages around 

the country. Consider this your official invitation to the show. 

Thompson, who originates from Fort Lauderdale, Florida has recently 

been cast as Fiyero in Wicked, the fourth longest-running 

musical in Broadway history, and currently the most popular. On 

February 7, 2023, Thompson made his premiere appearance in Orlando, 

Florida at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. 

“What I’m trying to bring to Fiyero the most, is I feel like he’s gotten a 

bad rap over the years for being kind of an airhead, and I don’t see him 

as that. I see him as a person that in the most healthy and not healthy 

way, is just concerned with what he needs to be - nothing more nothing 

less… it’s a laser focus. So, I attempt to bring emotional depth to his 

character. He has a line in the show, ‘you know me, I’m always happy.’ 

He’s very blatantly saying, I have to be happy all the time even when I’m 

not. That was a big a-ha moment when I said it on stage and realized the 

deeper meaning behind it. I’m exploring what it looks like for someone 

who is trying to do the right thing in this war between good and evil but 

straddling the fence between both of them.” 

Life goals can change over time, but for Christian Thompson, his mind 

was made up at eight years old… there was no plan B. 

“As a kid, my dad taught me how to play the drums, and it was always 

good to have music in my life… but my mother is the one who continued 

to support me and make sure I was in the best position to succeed. I don’t 

know why I looked at it this way, as a practical path. It’s sort of a universal 

mystery to me. I am just one of the lucky ones where that tenacity and 

drive, coupled with talent - which I had nothing to do with giving myself 

- and good fortune along the way, all worked out in one to create this 

career. I was blessed to be with (the Broadway show) Ain’t Too Proud, 

including the pandemic for five and a half years, and we were in New York 

for about two and a half of those. I grew up in South Florida, but when that 

hit Broadway, I moved to New York and made it my full-time home base.” 

Co-writing the musical In-Gauged for his alma mater Penn State, 

Christian bestows many accolades to the school that he acknowledges 

helped him achieve success. 

“Because I went for musical theater, it was a very intense program 


of acting, singing, and dancing. For four years, I really honed my craft 

and was able to learn from some of the best educators in the country, 

including Kikora Franklin and Steve Broadnax. Penn State even has a new 

fantastic initiative where they bring in composers and writers, which has 

even included Joe Iconis (best known for writing the music and lyrics to 

Be More Chill) to create a show for the senior class. Being able to go back 

and work with students is super rewarding. I get to be that person who 

bridges the gap between academia and the profession.” 

The road to stardom isn’t always lined with self-affirmation, and as a 

teenager, Thompson experienced a bit of the other side of fame… selfdoubt. 

Eventually, however, his life turned full circle. 

“I was in high school, and my class saw Billy Elliot, which is a brilliant 

musical. At intermission I was in the lobby with some friends, and 

realized that the children actors were so talented, and half my age. I 

thought, if this is what it takes to be on Broadway, I was behind the eightball 

and how was I ever going to make it? That was in the lobby of the 

Imperial Theater in Manhattan, and if you connect the dots, Ain’t Too 

Proud opened at the same venue about ten years later. The very place 

where I thought it would never happen, is where I debuted.” 

Christian has consistently been fulfilling his ambitions and explains 

how the thrill of landing a part never subsides. 

“For me, the first big roles I had were for The Ocean City Theater 

Company, where I was cast in Peter Pan and Smokey Joe’s Cafe. Those 

were my first two professional shows, and that was such an exciting and 

terrifying experience. When you’re finally on stage, there’s an added 

pressure of not letting the dream down. It was a great way to cut my 

teeth, and I even got to go back after I was on Broadway and receive the 

key to the city - which was lovely. 

I keep getting the next step up as far as roles are concerned, and that 

fact is not lost on me. I remember getting the call for Wicked in a hotel 

room and literally fell to the ground, flabbergasted it was happening. The 

novelty doesn’t wear off, and if anything, it gets more dramatic.” 

Portraying a fictional character is unlike someone who has actually

or it changes you. 

lived or may still be living, and Thompson describes how he 

tackles both. 

“Smokey (Robinson) was around, Smokey saw the show (Ain’t 

Too Proud). There’s a respect that has to happen when it’s a real 

person. You always want to do justice and honor people that 

went through hell and high water for us to even do a show about 

them, especially when they are heroes in our community. There’s 

a care, a very gentle way you have to hold that role in your hands. 

I wasn’t going to walk into the Smokey Robinson role and make 

up my own voice. With a character that’s not a real living person, 

you can kind of throw them around and try different things. 

What you can do with a fictional character is figure out how to 

find their humanness and realness. It’s the difference between 

pottery and clay-making. Someone that’s actually lived… it’s 

already been started, so you have to continue to mold it. With 

fiction, it’s brand new. You have to slam that clay down and 

make sure it’s stuck on there before you can get going.” 

Mainstream media has an opportunity to redesign the future 

when it comes to thoughts and behaviors concerning race in 

America. The growing number of Black performers on Broadway 

around the world, proves live theater has gotten the message. 

“I think it’s the greatest responsibility and the greatest 

opportunity I have - that by just existing, I can guarantee the 

chance for the next me… and for the next me to not have to think 

about whether they would be cast. I don’t think any actor of 

color takes the responsibility of representation lightly. I started 

off thinking Fiyero was not a part to go after because there were 

so very few of us, and now I can add my name to that list and 

make it a little bit longer. To be in those shoes is both exciting 

and a weight, but it’s a weight worth bearing. It’s something 

we have to do, and something we get to do. There’s good things 

happening on the horizon, but we still have to work for it to 

continue - not only on stage, but also with crew members and 

creatives. There are a lot of incredible people fighting that fight 

every day, and I’m glad to be amongst them.” 

To embody an entity that you were not born as, night after 

night, you must lose yourself and reinvent your way of thinking. 

“I think all of these characters live in me constantly, and 

I’m always learning something new about myself through the 

people I play. I think that’s one of the gifts of being an actor. You 

get to look at yourself through so many different lenses, and it 

helps to solidify who you are as a human… or it changes you.” 

Christian Thompson’s impressive resumé combined with 

his effervescent capacity for greatness, proves he can only 

accelerate from here. 

“I want to see how far I can take it. I think that little kid at 

eight years old who said, ‘this is what I want to do,’ would be 

very disappointed if he knew that I got to this level and then said, 

‘alright I’m good here.’ I was fortunate enough to understudy a 

lead role in Ain’t Too Proud on Broadway but haven’t had a lead 

myself yet. There’s a lot that I’m excited about with my writing, 

which is a brand-new wrinkle in this career of mine - you know, 

there’s always a new goal. I’m constantly trying to remind myself 

to enjoy the moment I’m in, but striving for the next thing, 

whether that be a Tony Award or another show. But the big 

epiphany I had in the past year or so, is to not put a cap on what’s 

possible, and try to enjoy the ride while I see what comes true.”

BOB GARFIELD 

Not Your Average Realtor 

By Nicol Jenkins | photos by melissa korman 

A realtor needs to have the 

skills to act quickly on their feet 

when challenges occur during 

a real estate transaction. 


Performing music live is Bob Garfield’s hobby, and it has 

taught him how to remain calm and make thoughtful decisions 

while playing on stage. These attributes are a large 

part of his success as a Realtor these past 11 years. 

When he is not assisting clients in real estate, Bob can often be 

seen around town playing guitar and singing in Invasion Duo, a 

band that highlights British hits from the early 60’s. 

Real estate is more than a career to Bob, it is his passion. He 

carefully listens to his clients’ needs and goals then sets about 

helping them sell their home or locate their dream property. His 

personal approach is to exceed his clients’ highest expectations. 

“Listening carefully to a clients’ desires then reacting to what 

is heard is the single most important skill to master in becoming 

a successful realtor.” 

Besides being a good listener, the local realtor knows the community 

like the back of his hand. He lives, works, and plays in 

Delray Beach. As rare as it may seem, Bob is also a native Floridian. 

He was born and raised in South Florida and has lived in 

Delray Beach, enjoying the unique lifestyle for over 18 years. After 

receiving a degree in Business Administration from the University 

of Florida, Bob embarked on a 30-year career as a Senior 

Buyer for a major department store and then as a Sales Manager 

and Account Executive for several major textile manufacturers. 

He focuses on helping his clients sell their current properties 

or locate a new home. He takes pride in responding quickly to his 

clients and providing detailed follow-up throughout a transaction, 

selling all price ranges, including beautiful homes with direct 

Intracoastal views. He was co-listing agent on a recent sale for a 

new construction 5-bedroom home in Rio Del Rey Shores, listed 

at $6,950,000. His most recent sale at 1371 Estuary Trail Delray 

Beach, has direct intra-coastal views. Estuary is one of only a few 

24-hour guard gated communities in east Delray Beach. 

“I see the recent frenzy in the real estate market over the past 

3 years subsiding and returning to a healthy balanced market. 

Delray Beach in particular, is highly desirable due to its proximity 

to the beach, fine dining and live music. Delray Beach is 

a blend of a New England seaside town and Greenwich Village 

New York all rolled into one. You can see anything from casual 

locals to celebrities driving Ferraris; it attracts all types of people 

and offers a little bit of everything,” said Bob, adding, “Delray 

Beach is becoming less and less seasonal. Homes are still selling 

in the summer months. 

Going above and beyond for his clients makes Bob a top producer 

in his field.

“I go the extra mile for them and am there long after the sale 

is completed. I have helped out-of-town clients with moving and 

assisted with repair people. I am here to help for the long term. 

This very often results in making life-long friends with my clients,” 

he said. 

His customers praise him for his dedication in helping them sell 

or find their new home in Delray Beach and neighboring cities. 

“Bob Garfield was great! I knew of him from his fliers and ads 

in Atlantic Ave Magazine, and he just happens to live two doors 

down from us. He was a joy to work with and everything went so 

quickly and smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. 

Bob helped us price it right and the proof was in the results. All 

communications were easy to follow, and response times were 

immediate. Highly recommend,” said Chris and Susan Bennett. 

“Bob went above and beyond my expectations! He negotiated 

a full-price offer and managed all aspects of the sale. I highly 

recommend Bob for his professionalism and knowledge of the 

local area!” said Garrett. 

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

knowledgeable, patient, and caring. He understands what is 

important to the process of successfully selling your home. Bob 

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

the process of preparing the home for the market, will help you 

with any contractor services you may need, and will advise you 

through the entire process. Bob truly understands that putting 

his clients first will result in obtaining the successful real estate 

transaction we all seek,” said George Huettel.

SCRATCH CAR 

Everyone’s “Go - To” Place 

For Auto Repair And Painting 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

Miracles do happen, you just have to look for them. But 

when it comes to auto repair, it often feels like a Las 

Vegas poker game. You might win, or you might lose. 

But the people who choose Scratch Car all feel like winners. 

“Scratch Car did an amazing job on my Lexus. The fender 

was peeled back, and it had been keyed. I heard about 

SCRATCH CAR from friends, met Fernando and dropped off my car. 

They had it for 24 hours and did an excellent job at a very good price. 

I’m so happy I came here! I highly recommend them,” said Sally Engel. 

Sally is not exaggerating. The legion of fans who take their cars to 

Scratch Car (when in need of collision auto repair or painting) continues 

to expand. Often new clients are shocked at the efficiency and 

excellent repair work they do at a much lower price than other shops. 

Since cars have become more sophisticated and scarce, Scratch 

Car has become the go-to resource for repair. 

A damaged bumper or side panel doesn’t have to ring alarm bells. 

When a car is picked up at Scratch Car, it’s usually a time for rejoicing. 

Daniel Cardoso, the estimator at Scratch Car, sees this all the 

time. “I enjoy providing the best customer service for everyone. It 

feels good to know I made someone’s life easier. You can see the 

relief on their faces when they leave.” 

Daniel is the son of owner Adrian Cardoso and has worked in his 

father’s shop since he was eight years old. He went to South Tech 


Academy and is now the estimator and trainer. At South Tech Daniel 

studied auto repair and honed his skills in refinishing, trim-hardware, 

maintenance, safety, and environmental concerns. 

This multidimensional training has made him even more adept 

at helping customers. “My goal is to continue giving great customer 

service and keep things flowing nicely so we can make things easier 

for our customers. If they’re happy, so are we,” adds Daniel. 

You could say that mission is accomplished on a daily basis - Just 

ask Mark Church. 

“I was down because someone hit the left quarter panel and bumper 

of my brand-new car. Most body shops would have repainted 

the entire bumper and quarter panel, charged over $2000 and had 

my car for days. I hated the idea of repainting part of my new car 

as it would never be the same as factory paint. Scratch Car repaired 

the dent in my fender/bumper and repainted. You can’t even tell 

where the paint was blended. They only charged me $800 and gave 

me my perfectly repaired car back in just 24 hours! The best body 

shop for repairs I have ever found.” 

That is music to owner Adrian’s ears. He worked in his father’s 

auto repair shop in Brazil, but came to the US and started a mobile 

car repair – going to people’s houses to fix their cars. 

That was almost 27 years ago. Now Scratch Car does all collision repairs 

and paints on all makes and models of cars. They also take all insurances, 

and in most scenarios, they will help with your deductible. 

COPYRIGHTED

“When I first started doing this, I couldn’t believe how expensive 

it was to repair scratches, scrapes, moldings, mirror covers, fenders, 

quarter panels etc. That is why I wanted to do repairs at a fair 

price and get vehicles fixed in a shorter time.” 

And don’t worry about sitting on hold when you call. A real person 

will answer and start the auto repair process for you. 

Kudo’s also go to their professional well-respected manager, Fernando 

Rezende. His kind and professional manner helps customers 

get excellent service quickly and precisely. He also cares about his 

customers well-being and gets their cars back in a timely manner. 

“Many body shops keep cars for weeks (and even months). But, some 

of our customers are seniors and they need their cars back quickly, so 

we try to get them back the same day or the next day,” said Rezende. 

This speedy repair work is due to what Cardoso calls their personalized 

approach. “Our technicians are trained to do everything 

from start to finish on each car. We don’t have one person bump out 

dents and another replace the bumper. Our technicians do it all.” 

Scratch Car has glowing testimonials, and everyone says the 

same thing. The cars look like new, the price is reasonable, and they 

are honest and professional. 

They also offer a pick-up and delivery service if needed. 

Making auto repair affordable and quick is the goal and raison 

d’être of its founder. 

“We are behind our customers in everything we do. We are honest; 

if we say we are going to do something, we do it. A lot of our business 

is word of mouth - we are polite and friendly to our customers.”

Exploring Our 

Great National Parks 

BY Lisa Marie 

With over 420 National Park Sites in USA, across more than 84 

million acres there are 63 that have been selected by Congress 

as especially important. This month we explore six of the 

lesser-known National Parks and indulge in their sheer beauty 

and diversity. These are among our nation’s true treasures! 

COPYRIGHTED 

Voyageurs national park 

Voyageurs 

Straddling the Minnesota-Canadian border, this relatively quiet 

park has no entrance fees and no roads! With 218,000 acres, water 

makes up one-third of this natural wonder. You’ll leave your car 

at one of the three visitor centers but No car = No problem! You can 

navigate the 4 main lakes (Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand 

Point) plus the 26 smaller interior lakes by renting a houseboat, 

take a guided boat or canoe tour, a ranger led paddle, water taxi or 

bring your own boat. If land is more your thing, then relish in an array 

of wonderful hiking trails on offer. A taster of the hikes available; 

Cruiser Lake Trail is a tough 9.5 miles, but there is a chance of spotting 

a moose or hearing the howl of a wolf. Blind Ash Trail Park, an 

easy 2.5-mile loop takes you through the boreal forest, with exceptional 

scenery. The 2.5-mile Echo Bay trail is great for bird watchers. 

Binoculars are a must! Accommodation within the park is only 

available by water. Kettle Falls Hotel is the only non-camping option 

with camping (tents only) or houseboats as the alternative. One extra 

special sight that you might capture is The Aurora Borealis (Northern 

Lights), intermittent but a possibility. Visit www.nps.gov/voya.

Shenandoah 

Located in western Virginia and just 75 miles from Washington, 

D.C., this 200,000-acre park extends for more 

than 100 miles along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Start by taking 

the only public road through the park, the Skyline Drive 

which runs 105 miles north and south along the crest of the 

Blue Ridge Mountains and gives you panoramic views along 

the way. Shenandoah has over 500 miles of hiking trails with 

a section including the long-distance Appalachian Trail. With 

an expanse forest, you can expect to be entranced by cascading 

waterfalls, breezy summits with spectacular vistas, rocky 

peaks, and an abundance of wildlife. These protected lands 

are home to deer, squirrels, black bear and many bird species. 

Nestled in the heart of Shenandoah National Park, you 

will find multiple lodging options that cater to different tastes 

and needs, from comfortable and elegant to rustic and quaint. 

All lodging facilities in Shenandoah National Park are operated 

by Delaware North, the Park concessionaire. Visit www. 

goshenandoah.com/lodging. 

Channel Islands national park 

Shenandoah national park 

Channel Islands 

Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary in California, 

nicknamed ‘North America’s Galapagos’ is a chain of five islands 

along the Santa Barbara Channel - Santa Cruz, Anacapa, Santa 

Rosa, Santa Barbara, and San Miguel. This NP is rich with untouched 

natural beauty and home to over 2,000 plant and animal species, 

including 30 marine mammal species including dolphins, elephant 

seals and the largest in the world, blue whales. Visiting here will take 

advanced planning. The mainland visitor centers are in Santa Barbara 

and Ventura, accessible by car but the islands require transport 

by park concessionaire boats, private boats and planes. On arrival 

in this magnificent haven there are few amenities. No Wi-Fi forces 

you to breathe in and admire the nature and really enjoy the scenery. 

Camping is available year-round but is primitive and small in numbers, 

and once on the island you must get there on foot, carrying all 

supplies. Whether it’s a day trip or a week, there are plenty of things 

to see and do on the islands. Escape the congestion and indulge in 

snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, birdwatching or just relaxing. Planning 

is essential so please visit www.nps.gov/chis.

great basin national park 

Great Basin 

Traveling along The Loneliest Road in America to get to this National 

Park located on the border of eastern Nevada and western 

Utah, its situated in the Great Basin Desert. One of the highlights 

is the Wheeler Peak scenic drive. A 12-mile drive hugging the South 

Snake Range, you will find yourself heading into the clouds to over 

10,000 feet above sea level, with the summit at 13,065. You will 

be met with far reaching vistas and panoramic views of the pine 

forests, lower mountains, lakes and the desert below you. Lehman 

Caves is another ‘must-do.’ Only allowing entry with a guided tour, 

you will be met by familiar cave formations, stalagmites stalactites, 

columns, draperies, flowstone and soda straws but the caves are 

most famous for their abundance of shields. This park also attracts 

people interested in birdwatching, stargazing and wildflowers. 

Hiking one of the 25 trails will also give you amazing views. Recommendations 

are Bristlecone and Glacier Trail to see the glacier, 

moraine and the bristle cones and the Alpine Lakes Trail for lakes, 

meadows, woodlands, spruce, aspen and pines! There are no lodging 

facilities in the park, but the community of Baker, 5 miles east 

of the park entrance, has several places to stay including motels, 

B&B’s, cabins and more. Camping is allowed inside the National 

Park but is extremely limited. This is the least visited National Park 

and consequently there are fewer people offering almost no litter 

and tranquil, quiet trails. Visit www.nps.gov/grba.

great sand dunes national park 

Great Sand Dunes 

This National Park and Preserve is in southern Colorado. As the 

name depicts, it is known for its huge sand dunes, the tallest, 

Star Dune at 750 feet high. Year round, visitors can sled down the 

dunes descending into the soft sand at the bottom. When Sangre 

de Cristo Mountains begin melting into Medano Lake and flowing 

around the basin of the area’s dunes, it turns into a vast outdoor 

waterslide and most unique beaches for its visitors. It’s no secret

that National Parks host some of the darkest skies in the country. In 

some areas of the Great Sand Dunes National Park, it’s possible to 

see up to 15,000 stars throughout the night. Stargazing at its best! 

There is no lodging inside the park but at the entrance you will find 

Great Sand Dunes Lodge, an excellent alternative to those not wanting 

to pitch a tent. There are several options for camping inside the 

park, mostly on a first-come-first-served basis. If you enjoy fishing, 

hiking or photography this might be the National Park for you. Visit 

www.nps.gov/grsa. 

Katmai 

Sitting on a peninsula in southern Alaska and 260 miles southwest 

of Anchorage this is a true wilderness destination! It 

was designated a national monument after the eruption of Novarupta 

in 1912 which formed the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. It 

became a National Park in 1980. Unconnected to any town by 

road it is only accessible by boat or floatplane, so planning is 

essential. The greatest attraction for visitors is that it is home 

katmai national park 

to about 2,000 brown bears that are drawn to Brooks Falls for 

the abundance of sockeye salmon. You can get great views and 

photos from the lookout platforms at Brooks Camp. There are 

other locations that offer bear watching opportunities in season. 

In the month of June, Hallo Bay and Swikshak Lagoon are 

a good bet. Always have your camera at the ready as you might 

also spot moose, caribou, wolf, waterfowl, bald eagles, whales 

and seals. Katmailand, Inc. is the only National Park Service authorized 

concessioner in Katmai, offering overnight accommodations 

and food and beverage service based at Brooks Lodge 

and Grosvenor Lodge. They also offer guided sport fishing, gifts 

and merchandise, outdoor recreation equipment rental, public 

showers, ground transportation and sightseeing, and camper 

drop-off services. The park’s visitor center at Brooks Camp is 

open seasonally from June 1 through mid-September and guests 

can sign up for ranger-led tours of the Valley of 10,000 Smokes 

or a walking tour to learn the human history of the Brooks River 

Archeological District. Visit www.nps.gov/katm.

This Month in History 

Looking Back 

june in History 

By Lewis David 

Looking back at important dates that 

took place in the month of June both 

here in America and across the globe. 

June 3rd, 1972 

• Sally Jane Priesand became the first female rabbi in the United 

States after being ordained. She would go on to work at the Stephen 

Wise Free Synagogue in New York City. 


June 4th, 1989 

• Unarmed student protestors in Tiananmen Square in Beijing 

are fired upon by the Chinese government. The protest had 

initially begun as a way to mourn Hu Yaobang, a reformer in the 

government, but turned violent when the People’s Army was sent 

in. U.S. estimates the death toll at 3,000. 

COPYRIGHTED 

June 6th, 1872 and 1944 

• Susan B. Anthony, a feminist and 

activist, was fined for voting in a 

presidential election in New York. 

Emboldened by the extension of 

voting rights to African Americans, 

she led a group of women to 

the polls but was subsequently 

arrested and fined. She would 

refuse to pay, and half a century later 

the right for women to vote would be 

enshrined in the 19th Amendment.

• The largest amphibious assault in history took place on the 

beaches of Normandy, on the northern coast of Nazi-occupied 

France. Operation Overlord, better known as D-Day, was the 

culmination of months of planning, thousands of ships, and 

millions of soldiers. Fifteen thousand allied troops lost their lives 

on the beaches of Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah, and Omaha, but by the 

end of the day 150,000 allied troops were on the beaches, and the 

liberation of Europe began. 


• The island chain of the Philippines in South East Asia declared 

its independence from Spain during the Spanish-American war. 

However, following American victory in the war, it was invaded 

and occupied by the United States and would remain an American 

colony until the end of the Second World War. 


• In the Supreme Court 

case Miranda v. Arizona 

it was ruled 5-4 that an 

accused person must be 

informed of their rights 

by police before they are 

questioned. The rights 

include the right to 

remain silent, the right 

to know that anything 

said can be used against 

them in a court of law, and 

the right to an attorney. These 

rights are known as a person’s 

“Miranda Rights.” 


• The Continental Army, the first U.S. military service, was 

established by the Second Continental Congress. The following 

day, George Washington was named its leader in the War against 

the British. 

• The concept of the United States flag, stars, and stripes on a 

background of red, white, and blue, was introduced before Congress 

by future U.S. President and founding father John Adams. 

COPYRIGHTED 


• In Massachusetts, the first mint in America was opened by a 

silversmith called John Hull. This was done as an act of defiance of 

the colonial laws imposed on the citizens of the Thirteen Colonies 

by the English Parliament. 



• The Magna Carta, often heralded as the foundation of many of 

the basic rights and liberties we enjoy in democracies today, was 

signed into law by King John of England. English nobles, frustrated 

by the king’s power, forced him to sign the document and set the 

foundation for modern democracy. 


• Five men were arrested at 

the National Democratic Headquarters, 

located in the Watergate 

Complex in Washington 

D.C. Their arrest would set off 

a domino effect of investigations 

that would culminate 

with the resignation of sitting 

president Richard Nixon two 

months later. 


• In Belgium, on the field of Waterloo, the French army of 

Napoleon suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of 

British, Dutch, Belgian, and Prussian troops. 

Napoleon’s defeat ended 23 years of war 

in Europe. He was subsequently sent in 

exile to St. Helena, a small island over a 

thousand miles off the coast of Africa. 


• U.S. President James Madison 

proclaims the United States to be 

in a state of war with the British 

Empire. The War of 1812 would last 

over two years and see the White 

House burnt down by British troops. 

The war was ended in 1814 with the 

signing of the Treaty of Ghent. 


June 23rd, 1865 

• The last formal surrender of Confederate troops to Union 

soldiers takes place in the Oklahoma territory, as Confederate 

Brigadier General Watie surrendered his battalion. 

COPYRIGHTED 


• The Soviet Union began a blockade of 

West Berlin in order to force concessions from 

the western powers. Instead, an emergency 

airlift was undertaken by the Allies in order 

to provide food, coal, and medical supplies to 

the inhabitants of the city. British and American 

planes flew about 278,000 flights, until May 12, 

1949, when the Soviets lifted the blockade.


• Near the Little Bighorn River in Montana General George A. 

Custer attacked a Sioux encampment. This led to a Sioux retaliation 

and of Custer’s 250 men, only a scout and a single horse survived. 

The defeat incited Americans and led to a war between American 

troops and the Sioux Indians. 


• The United Nations Charter was 

signed by 50 nations in San Francisco 

following the surrender of Germany in 

the European theatre of World War II. 


• Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the 

Austro-Hungarian Empire was murdered 

in Sarajevo by Serbian nationalists. This 

led to a chain of events culminating in the 

First World War which was, at the time, the 

deadliest conflict the world had ever seen. 

• Five years after the Archduke’s assassination, 

the Treaty of Versailles formally ended the First 

World War. Responsibility for the war was put on 

Germany’s shoulders and they were forced to pay 

reparations and give up significant territory. The 

harsh terms of the peace contributed to the rise 

of Nazism in Germany and the outbreak of the 

Second World War 20 years later.

• United States ground forces land in Korea following the invasion 

of North Korean troops across the 38th parallel. The war would last 

three years until an armistice was signed that split the countries 

along the 38th parallel. 

• The 26th Amendment to the Constitution was enacted, which 

lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. The change meant that the 

United States gained 11 million new voters.

hurricane prep 

The Essential Guide to 

Hurricane Preparedness 

BY Christine Harrison 

Each year hurricane season begins on June 1st and lasts 5 

months, with storms typically peaking in August and September. 

As with every hurricane season regardless of forecast, knowing 

the essentials of how to prepare could truly be a life saver. 

Hurricane Knowledge 

First, know your hurricane facts and understand common terms 

used during hurricane forecasts. Storm conditions can vary on the 

intensity, size and even the angle which the tropical cyclone approaches 

your area, so it is vital you understand what the forecasters 

and news reporters are telling you. 

Tropical Depressions are cyclones with winds of 38 mph. Tropical 

Storms vary in wind speeds from 39-73 mph while Hurricanes have 

winds 74 mph and greater. Typically, the upper right quadrant of the 

storm is the most intense portion of the storm. The greatest threats 

are damaging winds, storm surge and flooding. This is in part why 

Hurricane Katrina was so catastrophic when bringing up to 28 foot 

storm surges onto the Louisiana and Mississippi coastlines. 

Here are some important terms you may hear: 

• Tropical Storm Watch: Tropical storm conditions are possible 

in the area. 

• Hurricane Watch: Hurricane conditions are possible in the area. 

Watches are issued 48 hours in advance of the anticipated onset 

of tropical storm force winds. 

• Tropical Storm Warning: Tropical storm conditions are expected 

in the area. 

• Hurricane Warning: Hurricane conditions are expected in the 

area. Warnings are issued 36 hours in advance of tropical storm 

force winds. 

• Eye: Clear, sometimes well-defined center of the storm with 

calmer conditions. 

• Eye Wall: Surrounding the eye, contains some of the most severe 

weather of the storm with the highest wind speed and largest precipitation. 


• Rain Bands: Bands coming off the cyclone that produce severe 

weather conditions such as heavy rain, wind, and tornadoes. 

• Storm Surge: An often underestimated and deadly result of 

ocean water swelling as a result of a landfalling storm, and quickly 

flooding coastal and sometimes areas further inland. 

During a watch, prepare your home and evacuation plan in case a 

warning is issued. During a warning, carefully follow the directions 

of officials, and immediately leave the area if they advise it. In the 

event of an Extreme Wind Warning/Advisory, which means that extreme 

sustained winds of 115 mph or greater are expected to begin 

within an hour, immediately take shelter in the interior portion of 

a well-built structure. 

COPYRIGHTED

Hurricane Forecasts 

Predicting a tropical cyclone’s path can be challenging; there 

are many global and local factors that come into play. The storm’s 

size and path can directly influence what sort of wind patterns 

guide, enhance, or hinder its growth, and vice versa! Forecasters 

have computers that take huge amounts of data and try to predict 

where the storm will go and usually can calculate 2-3 days out accurately. 

This is where you hear the terms computer models and 

spaghetti models being used. Generally, the forecast track or path 

is given with the average consensus of these models. The National 

Hurricane Center has the most up-to-date information on tropical 

cyclone developments, forecasts and weather alerts, discussions 

analyzing the data and more. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ 

Hurricane Names 

Hurricane names are picked randomly, then rotated and recycled 

every 6 years. If a hurricane was catastrophic or severely deadly 

and costly (i.e., Charlie, Katrina, Irene) it is officially retired since 

use is not appropriate and can be confusing when naming current 

storms. To view the current list of tropical cyclone names click 

here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml 

Hurricane Kits 

It is important to create a kit of supplies that you could take with 

you if you are forced to evacuate. This kit will also be useful if you 

are able to stay in your home, but are still affected by the storm, 

such as through the loss of power. One common trend seen when 

hurricanes are approaching is a wide-spread panic. When this happens, 

people rush in large numbers to get all the supplies they think 

they need. However, if you prepare your kit ahead of time, you can 

alleviate a lot of the potential stress of a very chaotic situation. You 

should create your kit in a bag that you can easily take with you. 

Some recommended items to include are: 

• Non-perishable food (enough to last at least 3 days) 

• Water (enough to last at least 3 days) 

• First-aid kit (include any prescription medication you may need) 

• Personal hygiene items and sanitation items 

• Flashlights (have extra batteries on hand) 

• Battery operated radio (again, have extra batteries) 

• Waterproof container with cash and important documents 

• Manual can opener 

• Lighter or matches 

• Books, magazines, games for recreation 

• Special needs items: pet supplies and baby supplies if applicable 

• Cooler and ice packs 

• A plan for evacuation and for if family members are separated 

Securing Your Home 

Know how to secure your home in the event of damaging winds, 

storm surge and flooding. 

• Cover all windows, either with hurricane shutters or wood. 

• Although tape can prevent glass from shattering everywhere, 

be warned that tape does not prevent the window from breaking. 

• Make sure all trees and shrubs are trimmed and clear rain gutters. 

• Reinforce garage doors. 

• Bring in all outdoor furniture, garbage cans, decorations, and 

anything that is not tied down. 

• If winds become strong, stay away from windows and doors 

and close, secure and brace internal doors. 

Power Outages 

In the event a storm should leave you without power, there are a 

few things to consider and help you be ready and stay safe outside 

of your normal hurricane preparedness. 

• Gas: Make sure your tank is full far in advance of an approaching 

storm. Most people wait until the last minute, rush to get extra gas 

for cars and generators, and subsequently gas stations run out early. 

• ATMS: Have extra cash on hand in the event no ATMS in your 

area are accessible or working. 

• Cell Phones: Charge your cell phone and limit use after power is out. 

• A/C: This can be the most uncomfortable side effect of losing 

power during a storm. Try to prevent as much light from entering 

and warming the house by covering up your windows on the inside. 

If you have back-up or battery-operated fans, don’t run them unless 

you are in the room. Fans create a difference in perceived temperature 

but do not cool the room; instead, they create a cooling effect 

by dispersing the heat off your skin. It is said they can actually add 

heat to a room just by running. 

• Water: Fill bathtub and large containers with water for washing 

and flushing only. 

• Food: Turn your fridge temperature down and/or freeze any 

food or drinking water that can be frozen if you expect a power outage. 

Have a cooler with ice packs prepared to cool your drinks and 

snacks after power has been out for more than 4 hours. 

Remember, any severe storm can be deadly and destructive. If 

you’ve survived a landfilling cyclone, you know the inconvenience 

and distress it can cause. One of the best tips to be prepared is 

knowing the cycle of a cyclone - Approach, Arrival & Aftermath. 

Prepare ahead of time and listen to the directions of officials for the 

approach. Secure your home, or find a safe shelter for its arrival, 

and know how to proceed safely during the aftermath.

State of the City 

By Mayor Shelly Petrolia 

Celebrate and 

Prepare This Month 

Delray Beach Awarded Blue Flag Designation 

I’m thrilled to share that our City’s beach was awarded a coveted 

Blue Flag designation by the Foundation for Environmental 

Education, an international achievement given to beaches that 

meet stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility 

criteria. The Municipal Beach between Casuarina Road and Laing 

Street is one of the first two Blue Flag designations awarded to 

beaches in the continental United States. 

I am especially grateful for our dedicated city staff, who have put 

so much effort into ensuring that our shoreline is safe and accessible 

and that beachgoers are educated about the City’s conservation 

initiatives. 

To learn more about the City’s Blue Flag designation, please visit 

www.delraybeachfl.gov. 

Happy Pride Month! 

Happy Pride Month, Delray Beach! This month, we commemorate

of the Pineapple Grove Arts District at the intersection of NE 2nd 


Avenue and NE 1st Street. The streetscape represents our city’s 

commitment to diversity, inclusion, and visibility. 

Most importantly, let this month serve as a reminder to be kind to 

others and help ensure Delray Beach remains a welcoming place for all. 

Hurricane Season is Here- Prepare Ahead

Delray Beach chamber of commerce 

Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce has always provided 

services and programming that is tailored to its large and 

diverse membership. There are events and programs like 

YPAD for the under 40 crowd, Nonprofit Council for our nonprofit 

members, Focus on Women for the female membership as well 

as many others. The only demographic not specifically addressed 

lately was a solid option for men. That was until late last year. 

It was then, after a conversation between myself and Lynn Van 

Lenten that CORE was born. CORE is an acronym for Creating 

Original Relationships through Experiences. One of the best ways 

to form bonds and build relationships is through shared experiences. 

The idea was to plan a quarterly event where we can get 

a group of guys together to attend a one-of-a-kind experience. 

The key word is experience. The goal was to create experiences 

that would benefit the guys who attended and leave them talking 

about it for the weeks and months that follow. It’s not your typical 

networking event though! 

While CORE events are different each time, the format stays 

the same. We cap attendance to the first 50 men who register and 

each event is aimed at enriching a part of their lives through fun 

and educational experiences. These experiences are carefully curated 

to be one of a kind and provide an opportunity to develop 

relationships with other guys, past what appears on their business 

card during a fun and engaging event. 

“At The CORE 

of Delray Beach” 

BY SHAUN HALL 

THANK YOU to OUR SPONSORS 

Our first event was at Warren in West Delray. They did a bourbon 

tasting and pairing with some of their new dishes, explained 

the differences between bourbon, scotch and other whiskeys and 

even taught a class on how to make a proper old fashioned! That 

event was the talk of the town. We followed that up with a night 

of motors and martinis at Haggarty Social. Where we had the opportunity 

to tour the facility and see some of the most rare and 

expensive automobiles in the world while drinking martinis and 

learning about all of the different types of vehicles they have in 

their collection. We followed that event up watching the sunset 

from Rosewater where we learned how to look our best. We had 

a tailor, Maria, from J. Hilburn Men’s Clothier talking to us about 

the latest style trends, barbers from Legacy Barbershop giving 

us grooming tips and providing haircuts and Nancy Reagan from 

Bella Reina Spa talking about skincare for men and demonstrating 

a few new products. We are proud of these elevated networking 

events. 

CORE Men’s group is about more than just networking, it’s 

about building a community of men who want to develop new 

relationships while enjoying high-end experiences here in South 

Florida! These events are open to any area man who wants to attend 

and while chamber membership isn’t required, you do get 

a discounted ticket by being a member. For more information on 

CORE events, please visit chamber.delraybeach.com/events.

Stephanie Immelman 

regulars | city people 

What do you call a woman who had 

a happy childhood, loving parents, a 

great career and a wonderful marriage? 

Lucky. 

Indeed. Stephanie Immelman is lucky, but there 

is much more to this story than just luck. It’s 

perseverance, education, hard work, and the 

willingness to expand her mind, and the terrain she 

travelled. 

As a child, Immelman was exposed to art and culture 

as if it were part of the dessert in a Happy Meal. 

Her father Charlie was an artist for NASA and Disney 

and her mother Margaret was a teacher. 

They both adored their daughter and wanted her 

to relish the humanities as much as they did. “My 

parents believed in education. They taught me about 

art, literature and history and took me with them to 

Washington and New York City.” 

They also – perhaps unknowingly – laid the 

groundwork for their daughter to travel the world 

and experience a career path that many people 

dream about. Especially since Immelman is a 6th 

generation Floridian, whose grandfather owned orange 

groves in Sanford, Florida. 

Immelman, who grew up in Sanford, wanted to be 

a lawyer. She clerked for a law firm (as a teen) and 

again for a law professor at University of Florida, 

where she went to college. 

But law was not to be for this level-headed businesswoman. 

Instead, she started out in the management 

training program at Eastern Airlines. The 

job allowed Immelman to travel the world from her 

home base in Miami. 

After Eastern Airlines Immelman moved to Houston 

to work for Continental Airlines. She was hired to 

work on their One Pass Elite Frequent Flyer Program. 

Though Immelman loved all her jobs (a feat not 

many people will attest to) she switched gears and 

went to work for Sprint Telecom in their International 

Marketing Department in Atlanta. 

Traveling the world became second nature to this 

woman of many talents, so it came as no surprise 

when her next job was in AT&T’s Europe/Middle 

East/Africa division. There she ran their Competitor 

Intelligence Program. 

Based in Brussels, Immelman also went to Boston 

by diane feen | Photo by Ethan Dangerwing 

A Woman of the 

World Close to Home 

University’s Brussels Masters’ Degree program in 

International Relations. Though this career move 

catapulted her into the international stratosphere, it 

also gave her an arial view of humanity from a new 

perspective. 

“One thing I learned about living in Europe for 14 

years is that the people have a different attitude about 

life than Americans. Their mindset is to be happy and 

enjoy each day. It is a mindset that goes back to food. 

They eat seasonally, and sit down and enjoy lunches 

and dinners with their family.” 

Immelman also realized that Americans live to 

work, whereas Europeans work to live. She also realized 

how lucky she was in the parental lottery pool. 

“My parents gave me the self-confidence to move 

to Europe and live my dreams. Being raised by an 

English teacher and an artist taught me a love of 

literature, art, and history. This is the basis for my 

wanting to live and work in Europe and travel the 

world to places such as China, India, Australia, Malaysia, 

and South Africa.” 

She did just that. After AT&T Immelman went to 

work at Global Crossing (a company started by her 

co-workers from AT&T). She lived in London and 

was Director of Corporate Affairs in their International 

Mergers and Acquisitions Department. 

Though she traveled to India, Germany, Spain, China, 

Australia, South Africa, Argentina, and all of Europe 

there was something she longed for that wasn’t 

in her job description. 

“I loved all my jobs - you could go to work and 

they would say ‘get your passport you’re getting on 

a plane right now.’ It was an exciting lifestyle, but I 

couldn’t have a relationship with my dry cleaners, 

let alone another human being.” 

And as someone who attributes her success in the 

corporate world to creating relationships, Immelman 

was ready to start one of her own. 

That is exactly what she did. She moved to Chelsea 

in the UK and went to work for an upscale art gallery 

(Martin Summers). 

My dream job was to work in an art gallery so that 

COPYRIGHTED 


My parents 

gave me the 

self-confidence 

to move 

to Europe 

and live my 

dreams. Being 

raised by 

an English 

teacher and 

an artist 

taught me 

a love of 

literature, art, 

and history 

was a great job. We sold work by Andy Warhol, Picasso and Basquiat 

worth millions of dollars. We did a show once and Valentino bought 

one right off the wall - it was amazing.” 

So was her chance encounter with her husband of 20 years, Franzswa. 

Turns out they both worked for the same gallery owner in the 

UK. The two decided to move back to the US but were unsure where. 

Kismet intervened once again for Immelman. “We decided to 

move to the US (to be closer to my parents) and looked at New 

York, Palo Alto, and Denver. We visited Delray for a wedding and 

went to First Night on Atlantic Avenue. When we saw the Christmas 

tree and all the events on the street we decided we wanted to 

move here. So, we did.” 

In 2008 the couple moved to Delray and Immelman’s first job was 

with the Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative. Like magic (or kismet 

once again) her job was to produce the City’s major events such as 

July 4th and the Famous 100 Foot Christmas Tree. 

“We marketed Delray Beach to the world. In 2012, I spearheaded 

an effort for Delray to be named the Most Fun Small Town in the USA 

by Rand McNally, USA Today, and the Travel Channel. Delray Beach 

was profiled in a national TV show highlighting the best small towns 

in the USA and we got Delray in top travel magazines.” 

You could say, what goes around comes around. That is why Immelman 

is currently President and CEO of the Delray Beach Chamber 

of Commerce. As someone who lives and breathes on the merits 

of relationships and collaboration – it seems like a perfect fit. 

“We advocate for the business interests of Delray, but we have very 

strong partnerships with our Non-Profit sector. It is our mission to 

bring the Community together for the betterment of our City.” 

Since Immelman is a woman of her word, she has done just that. 

Their membership has doubled and they have groups such as The 

Young Professionals, Focus on Women, CORE Men’s Group and the 

successful Non-Profit Council. They also produce Delray Morning 

Live, a weekly Facebook show. 

There are many facets to the Delray Chamber – and many to her 

South African husband, who she calls a force of nature. Her friend 

Stacey Hallberg calls Immelman fun, engaging, wicked smart and a 

very loyal friend. Noreen Payne attributes her to building an incredible 

team that’s come together to create something special. And to 

attorney Michael Weiner she is a sophisticated, hip, global thinker. 

One thing is for sure – we know that Immelman is happy with her 

job and Delray Beach. 

“One of the most important things I learned in Europe is that it is 

important to enjoy your life every single day.” 

We believe her!

IL CONTADINO RISTORANTE 

Authentic Italian Cuisine In The Heart Of Delray 

If you ask Emma where she likes 

to eat in Delray she will rattle off 

a few names but it’s Il Contadino 

that has captured her heart. 

Michael, Chef-Owner 

Shrimp & Spring vegetable primavera w homemade tricolor tagliatelle 

Like many of the guests who go there she savors the quiet and 

serene atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of Atlantic 

Avenue. She also loves the food and authentic Italian vibe 

of this Pineapple Grove restaurant. 

“We were drawn into IL Contadino by the music and the ambience. 

Our experience with Michael, who is the chef-owner was 

amazing. The food was great, wine selection was astounding, and it 

felt like an authentic New York Italian restaurant.” 

The wine selection is something that Michael is proud of. This 

brownstone, in the heart of Pineapple Grove, is filled from the ceiling 

to the baseboards with wine from across the globe. 

“I have over 1000 different wines from all over the world. I even 

have vintage wines. We cater parties and welcome groups, families, 

and businesses to celebrate special occasions here. I feel good 

knowing I can offer them the best wine for any occasion.” 

One things for sure, everyone is captivated by the personal attention 

that Michael gives his guests. Though there is a menu, Michael 

enjoys creating everyone’s favorite meal with elan. 

Though presentation is important to this foodie, his primary 

goal is to create comfort food that makes guests feel good. He also 

buys fresh food daily, but only gets what is in season and available 

fresh from the market. 

“I like to create scrumptious meals for people who come to my 

restaurant. I also take pride in the fact that I offer my customers 

their favorite dishes cooked to perfection.” 

He sure does. His customers are vocal about Michael’s generosity 

of spirit and perfection in the kitchen. “All the food I make comes 

COPYRIGHTED

Trippa 

from my heart. Each dish is homemade, and I can make any type of 

food you want from any country.” 

The reason is simply that Michael has been cooking since he 

could tie his shoelaces. As a child his parents worked a lot and he 

often got home hungry and tired. That is why Michael developed 

his culinary gift early in life. 

“My parents were hairdressers and rarely cooked so I would take 

whatever was in the kitchen and prepare a gourmet meal. I could 

barely reach the stove, but when they came home there was a complete 

meal on the table,” said the father of two. 

One of his all-time favorite dishes to prepare for guests is the 

Homemade Lasagna topped with a short rib meatball sprinkled 

with parmesan cheese. His other popular dish is the Homemade 

tri-color tagliatelle pasta in a light garlic sauce with roasted mixed 

vegetables and shrimp. 

If you ask Peter G. he will tell you there are other things on the 

menu to celebrate as well. 

“This was the Best Italian food I have had since I was in Italy! The 

restaurant is intimate, unassuming, and it blew us away. We had 

pasta Vincenzo, chicken parm, chicken Marsala, penne vodka with 

chicken and shrimp pasta. My family devoured it all. The bacon 

Caesar salad and eggplant stack appetizers all great too.” 

Because Michel likes to entertain his guests (and revels in the 

delight of cooking for others), he brought back a tradition that added 

class and taste to certain dishes. He will flambé a dish at the 

table. If you opt for homemade Penne alla Vodka it’s freshly cooked 

at your table with butter, cream, marinara sauce and onions and 

torched with a flame so it’s piping hot and flavorful. 

If seafood is on your wish list try their newest dish from the sea, 

the fresh Branzini with spinach and a crab cake in a lemon wine 

sauce. The uniqueness of this home style restaurant is that you can 

get what you crave, or you can leave the cooking (and creating) to 

Michael. 

Elyse found this out right away. “We had a fabulous meal here 

last night. We sat at an outdoor table and enjoyed an appetizer of 

mussels and Lobster Ravioli that were both delicious. We also loved 

their homemade garlic bread. Michael was warm and friendly. We 

sat a block away from the Swing Jazz Festival and we could hear 

the music while dining and people watching. It was a great experience!” 

Il Contadino also serves lunch with dishes such as Italian antipasti, 

soups, wraps, salads, veal and pasta. 

You can also have an event catered in the restaurant (or at another 

location). IL Contadino is also available for weddings and parties 

and can be rented out for any occasion. The old- world charm of 

Branzino w seafood crab cake 

this space makes it conducive for intimacy and social engagement. 

At weekends IL Contadino may surprise you with live music to 

make your culinary experience authentic and romantic. 

Entertainer Frank Bruno might show up with his keyboard and 

guitar and serenade you under the Florida foliage. This legendary 

musician has played around the world for celebrities (and worldclass 

venues) and brings his beautiful tunes to your table with 

grace and dexterity. 

“My mission is to make you feel at home at my restaurant, I am 

proud of the homemade food we serve and happy with our signature 

meatball dish. Come enjoy yourself and celebrate life. Our 

motto is to please everyone who comes here.”

Classic 

Father’s Day Recipes 

for the Awesome Dads in Your Life 

Growing up, my Dad loved steak and 

meatloaf. Steak on Saturdays and meatloaf 

on Wednesdays. Here are two updated classic 

recipes for the carnivore Dad in your life. 


Salt and Pepper 

Ribeye 

A bone-in rib eye requires nothing more than salt, 

pepper, and a hot grill. Though to make it even more 

sublime, serve with scallions that have been tossed in 

olive oil and salt and given a quick char. 

ingredients 

1 1½–2-inch bone-in rib eye (about 2 pounds) 

2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 

Coarse sea salt 

directions 

Step 1 - Put steak on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. 

Pat dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt per side. Chill 

uncovered for up to 3 hours. Remove steak from refrigerator 1 

hour before grilling and let come to room temperature. Pat dry 

with paper towels. Season again with 1/2 tsp. salt; press in 1/2 tsp. 

pepper per side so pieces adhere. 

Step 2 - Build a two-zone fire in a charcoal grill for direct (mediumhigh 

coals) and indirect (medium-low coals) heat. Alternatively, heat 

a gas grill to high just before cooking, leaving one burner on low. 

Sear steak over direct heat, flipping once, until nicely charred, 3-4 

minutes per side. (If a flare-up occurs, use tongs to gently slide the 

steak to a cooler part of the grill.) Move steak to indirect heat and 

continue grilling, flipping once, 3-4 minutes per side. Using tongs, 

lift steak and sear both edges (the bone side and the fat-cap side) 

for 1-2 minutes per side to render out some of the fat. Grill steak to 

desired temperature, 14-18 minutes total or until an instant-read 

thermometer registers 120° for rare (steak will carry over to 125°, 

or medium-rare, as it rests). 

Step 3 - Transfer steak to a carving board; let rest for 10 minutes. 

Slice across the grain, season with coarse sea salt, and serve.

Beef-and-Bacon Meatloaf 

ingredients 

8 SERVINGS 

1 tablespoon olive oil 

1 onion, grated on large holes of a box grater 

1 garlic clove, finely chopped 

¾ cup ketchup 

¼ cup apple cider vinegar 

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar 

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 

¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth 

½ cup chopped fresh parsley 

2 large eggs 

⅔ cup fine breadcrumbs 

½ cup finely grated Parmesan 

1 tablespoon kosher salt 

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

2 pounds ground beef chuck (15% fat) 

6 thin strips bacon 

directions 

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then 

parchment paper. 

Step 2 - Heat oil over medium in a small skillet. Cook onion and garlic, 

stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large 

bowl. 

Step 3 - Meanwhile, bring ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and cayenne to 

a boil in a small saucepan, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 

until slightly reduced and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons 

ketchup mixture to a blender; add broth and parsley and blend until smooth. 

Set remaining ketchup mixture aside. 

Step 4 - Add broth mixture, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper 

to onion and garlic; mix to combine. Add beef and mix well with your hands 

to combine. Transfer meatloaf mixture to prepared pan and form into a long 

log (about 12”x5”), smoothing surface. Spread reserved ketchup mixture over 

top and drape bacon in a crisscross pattern over loaf, tucking underneath. 

Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 

165° and bacon is crisp, 70–80 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

BY Bill Piechocki 

Are Botanicals Good for 

the Health of Your Pets? 

In the quest for optimal health for ourselves and our pets in this challenging 

toxic world, we must think outside of the mainstream marketing 

to find healthful solutions. Many modern mono-crop agricultural 

practices deliver foods that are devoid of essential nutrients to keep 

our pets healthy. We must find natural products to fulfil these nutrients. 

I want you to explore with me a family of foods that are powerful 

superfoods that can aid in that quest for health. Mushrooms have been 

used in culinary and medicinal ways for centuries. They are cited in 

Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda literature. Even the Greek physician 

Hippocrates, circa 450BC, had realized the health and nutritional 

values of the thousands of mushrooms on this planet. Mushrooms still 

remain an enigma to many in the medical and nutritional field. 

In recent years, the availability and research into the benefits has 

grown significantly. We have been incorporating a variety of mushrooms 

for many different functions including their ability to aid in detoxification, 

to strengthen the immune system, and even in supporting 

the fight against cancer and dementia. In addition to adding tasty flavors 

to our food, most pets instinctively react favorably to the addition 

to their diet. 

The top mushrooms superfoods for the immune system that we have 

used are: 

• Reishi is a flavorful fungus that does it all for the immune system. It 

has been cited for calming, weight loss, immune balance, easing anxiety 

and depression, better sleep and even helping to fight cancer cells. 

• Lion’s mane appears to be a brain booster. Filled with antioxidants 

which strengthen the immune system as well as fostering the production 

of bioprotein and myelin that protects nerve cells, especially in the 

brain. This is a serious brain food. 

• Chaga, like the other mushrooms included here, is packed with antioxidants, 

which are known to fight off free radicals and inflammation. 

The benefits are known again for the immune system and reducing 

oxidative stress and the growth of cancer have been demonstrated in 

clinical studies. 

• Shiitake appears as a tasty delight in the kitchen, making stir-fry 

a delight. In addition to being tasty, benefits from its’ phytonutrients 

which can prevent plaque buildup makes it beneficial in protecting the 

heart and liver while aiding healthy blood pressure and circulation. 

• Turkey tail contains a compound called polysaccharide-K (PSK) 

high amounts of antioxidants which are known to stimulate the immune 

system survival rates in certain cancers. The PSK is so effective 

that it is an approved anticancer prescription drug in Japan. 

• Cordyceps is known to be very stimulating, helping the body to 

utilize oxygen more efficiently and enhancing blood flow that is good 

for energy, libido and muscle recovery after exercise. 

This quick look at the benefits of these and other mushrooms shows 

why we believe these foods should be a valuable and integral part of 

every nutritional program for your pet. As part of your pets’ rotational 

species-specific real food diets, you will see the numerous health benefits 

provided by the energetic frequencies both physically and emotionally.

Being a dad has to be one of 

the toughest but at the same 

time most rewarding jobs 

that a man can have. 

Therefore, it’s only fitting that one day a year is dedicated 

to them, to thank them and appreciate their love and support. 

I have many stories about my dad: some good, some 

bad, some funny, and some that I will take with me to my grave. 

However, the one thing they all have in common is that they’ve 

taught me a lesson about the kind of person I aspire to be. 

To give you an idea of how things have changed between my 

dad and I you probably need to know that up until I was about 

eighteen months old I only ever loved my mom. (Obviously I 

don’t remember this because as I said I was a baby). Apparently 

so much so that I wouldn’t let anyone else hold or carry me, and 

that included my DAD! And if she left my line of vision I would 

burst into tears crying hysterically. So, when mom disappeared 

into hospital to deliver my brother, my dad was the only one I 

had left and miraculously, overnight I was able to let my dad hold 

me. It turns out that this guy, my DAD, wasn’t so bad after all. 

My first story happens quite a few years later. 

Dad had recently sold his business and was looking for his 

next challenge, something new and exciting to put his mind to. 


My parents came up with an interesting new proposal: leave our 

home country and move across the pond to the United States of 

America. I was beyond excited at the prospect! As soon as my 

dad knew the rest of us were on board with the new venture he 

did everything in his power to make the move happen. In order 

to support us when we arrived in America my dad threw himself 

into jobs he had no prior experience in, and learned how to 

be the best he possibly could at them. After twelve months he 

finally landed his dream job and he loved it. My dad always told 

me that if I found a job I really enjoyed then it was no longer considered 

a job. And he proved it! He worked tirelessly to ensure 

the security of his family. 

My greatest failing is probably my lack of work ethic but that 

certainly does not come from my dad. If anything, watching how 

he works day after day, and all of it for the betterment of his 

family, is something that has profoundly affected me. It’s a kind 

of altruism that seems so apparent in dads. Their willingness to 

sacrifice their own needs for those of their children. My dad, his 

love strong enough to carry a family across the world and begin 

a new life in a new country. 

The other story that has truly changed my life begins when I 

was a kid. I was a nerd, and there’s no other way for me to put it! 

People would only ever see me with my head buried in a book. 

It’s not a bad thing to read, but sometimes it’s important to focus 

on the world around you and not just the world playing out 

across the pages of a book. 

My dad introduced me to football, or soccer as they call it 

stateside, and my perspective on everything changed. It started 

with my dad buying me a soccer video game. I’d never played 

the sport before and this was my first experience of what would 

soon become a huge part of my life. I started watching soccer 

games on a Saturday morning with Dad and we would talk and 

debate non-stop about the games, players, managers and strategies. 

Before I knew it, I was signed up to play goalkeeper for a 

local team. Regardless of the weather I could always rely on dad 

sitting in the stands cheering me on. In fact, usually at halftime 

when the coach was giving the rest of the team advice, I’d run 

over to my dad and ask him instead. It wasn’t out of disrespect 

to the coach, but more in the knowledge that my dad knew more 

than the coach did. 

Playing on the team taught me leadership and communication 

on a scale I had never before experienced and I can thank my 

dad for that. 

Without realizing it, over the years my dad has given me his 

wisdom, his experiences, shown me leadership, work ethic and 

most importantly he has always shown me love. 

My dad may have his flaws, as all dads do, but I wouldn’t 

change him for the world!

misc | Juneteenth 

By linda brown 

Juneteenth 

National Independence Day! 

Although it has been long celebrated in the African 

American community, this monumental event 

remains largely unknown to most Americans. 

Juneteenth, official name of the federal holiday, Juneteenth 

National Independence Day which commemorates the 

end of slavery in the United States and is observed annually 

on June 19. The name is derived from the words ‘June’ and 

‘nineteenth’. 

It is also known as Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, Jubilee 

Day, Juneteenth Independence Day, and Black Independence Day. 

During the American Civil War, Pres. Abraham Lincoln issued 

the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared more than three 

million slaves living in the Confederate states to be free. 

It was more than two years later in 1865 before the news 

reached African Americans living in Galveston, Texas from U.S. 

General Gordon Granger, where he informed them that slavery 

had been abolished and they were officially free. The former 

slaves immediately began to celebrate with prayer, feasting, 

song, and dance. 


COPYRIGHTED 

The following year, on June 19, the first official Juneteenth celebrations 

took place in Texas. The original observances included 

reading of spirituals, prayer meetings and feasting. Within a few 

years, African Americans in other states were celebrating the 

day as well, making it an annual tradition. The date continues to 

be the oldest known tradition honoring the end of slavery in the 

United States. Today, celebrations span the globe and here in the 

United States its typically celebrated with prayer and religious 

services, educational events, speeches, and festivals with music, 

food, and dancing. 

Juneteenth became a state holiday in Texas in 1980, and several 

other states subsequently followed suit. In 2021 Juneteenth 

was made a federal holiday. The bill’s passage made Juneteenth 

the nation’s 12th federal holiday. The last time the government 

added a new holiday to its calendar was in 1983, when the third 

Monday of January was declared Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
