South Florida’s PARTY band! This versatile group of musicians will be 

performing music from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, or the concert featuring 

a Rolling Stones Tribute Band where you can get a full dose of energy - (I can’t get no) 

Satisfaction - or a bit of Jumpin’ Jack Flash!! Both can be seen at the Amphitheater, at 

Old School Square, 51 N Swinton Ave, Delray Beach. For a full list of events go to www.

the sizzling, savory, delectable dishes from over 30 cafes, restaurants and fast-food 

eateries, often at special prices. 

If you wanted to start your holiday shopping early this year, then The Downtown 

Delray Beach Craft Festival is the perfect place to go! Held on September 9th and 10th 

on 4th Ave/Atlantic Ave, expect to find a vast array of vendors selling goods from 

Candles to Wood items and everything in-between.

Atlantic Crossing’s first phase is well along, transforming the 

stretch of Atlantic Ave. between Federal Hwy. and NE 7th Ave. 

with the Brez luxury apartments, new-to-the market restaurants, initial 

shops, corporate offices and the pedestrian promenade. Completion 

of this phase is projected in January, 2024, with work now underway 

on the final component – the second Brez apartment building. 

Phase 2 demolition is now clearing Atlantic Crossing’s eastern

This phase’s three buildings and two garages are projected 

for completion in 2027.

come together, Edwards Companies has the rare opportunity to reshape 

two city blocks with new options for downtown living, working

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 September for $50 or less. 

8th Annual Downtown Delray Beach Restaurant Month 

You’re busy, you’re tired, but you’re hungry. Even hangry. 

You might even have a partner and some offspring who are 

famished, too. What. To. Do. Think, act, enjoy! September 

is International Strategic Thinking Month and is the absolute 

perfect time to head downtown for some mess-free, hassle-free 

and dollar-saving grub. The crowds are less, the temperature 

is finally cooling off slightly, and you’re in full work and school 

swing, which means you need a break. This is why the Eighth Annual 

Downtown Delray Beach Restaurant Month is calling your 

name. For the entire month of September, more than 30 local 

restaurants, cafes, fast-casual establishments and eateries have 

expertly crafted special multi-course prix size lunch and dinner 

menus, happy hour and brunch specials, and culinary events, all 

with a goal to fill you up but not empty your wallet. Expect to enjoy 

tasty treats from Amar Mediterranean Bistro, Bar 25, Dada, 

Drift Restaurant & Bar, The Grove Restaurant, Racks Fish House & 

Oyster Bar, Two Fat Cookies, and more. Try one, try them all, just 

make sure to give your kitchen a break and let someone else do 

the cooking and cleaning for you. Reservations aren’t mandatory 

but are encouraged! For specific restaurant information and more 

details about Restaurant Month, please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com 

or call (561) 243-1077.

Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival 

It’s Fall, ya’ll! Well, we as Floridians use the term “Fall” loosely, 

but it’s still worth getting excited about. September is Fall Hat 

Month so grab your hat and head outdoors because we’ve got a 

craft festival to attend. The Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival 

is once again back in town and is a great way to spend a couple of 

hours over the weekend enjoying the outdoors, possibly finding a 

new piece for your home, and obviously not passing up on some 

of the Avenue’s refreshing cocktails. The Festival is located at the 

intersection of Fourth Avenue and Atlantic Avenue and features 

crafters from across the nation. You can expect to peruse jewelry, 

artwork, photography, woodwork, sculpture, soaps/lotions, candles, 

ceramics/clay/pottery, and much more! It’s a perfect-sized 

event, too, as it’s not too large or too small, so you can make a 

couple rounds if you’d like. You can even get your holiday shop-

ping started early and find a unique gift for the special someones 

in your life. The Festival is held on Saturday, September 9 and 

Sunday, September 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please visit www. 

artfestival.com or call (561) 746-6615 for more information. 

Classic Albums Live: Rumours by Fleetwood Mac 

Beethoven and Mozart to Queen and The Rolling Stones, 

classics are the best. Regardless of your preference, there 

is a type of music for everyone’s ears. September is Classical 

Music Month and there’s an amazing way to celebrate this 

holiday: by heading outside and jamming out with a few thousand 

of your local community members. Mark your calendars for Classic 

Albums Live: Rumours by Fleetwood Mac and get as close to 

the original musicians as you can as they recreate the Rumours album 

by Fleetwood Mac. Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic 

Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on 

stage - note for note, cut for cut, using the best musicians. “Think 

of it as a recital,” said Martin, “these albums are historic and stand 

the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic 

Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the 

music. The event is held on Friday, September 15 from 6 to 10 

p.m. at the Amphitheatre at Old School Square. Tickets are $25 for 

general admission or $40 for VIP (reserved seat, air-conditioned 

bathrooms, and one drink ticket). “Now here you go again, you 

say you want your freedom,” so get out there and get it! The Amphitheatre 

at Old School Square is located at 51 N. Swinton Ave. 

Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com to purchase tickets. 

Warren Delray 

Once it hits your lips! Dark liquor is best enjoyed neat, or 

with a nice big ol’ cube of ice, or in a crafty cocktail. Let 

the liquor speak for itself, people! September is Bourbon 

Heritage Month and if you aren’t lucky enough to have multiple 

distilleries in your home, or don’t want just your average ho-hum 

bottle of bourbon, you’re in luck. The good people at Warren Delray 

- your new favorite American Whiskey Kitchen - have expertly 

crafted a cocktail menu that offers some of the most delicious 

and creative bourbon-centered drinks this side of the Mississippi, 

partner, and you’re invited to mosey on in and bottom’s up. Start 

with the Marion’s Mule, made with Four Roses Bourbon, housemade 

ginger beer and lime for $15, or enjoy the O.G.O.F., made 

with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, cane syrup Bitter Truth bitters, and 

an orange peel for $14. If you prefer something more straightforward, 

just ask for their Beverage Bible and their private “single 

barrel” selections. They even cook with it! Try the Shaved Brussels 

Sprouts Salad, made with Brussels sprouts, kale, five-minute 

egg, smoked bacon, Parmesan, Marcona almonds and a maple 

bourbon vinaigrette for $17, or their Warren’s Damn Good Burger, 

made with their signature dry-aged blend, aged gruyere, truffle 

aioli, fried egg, bourbon glaze and a brioche bun for $20. It’s a 

bourbon bash and everyone’s invited! Warren Delray is located 

at 15084 Lyons Road. Please visit www.warrendelray.com or call 

(561) 455-4177 for more information and to make reservations. 

Lemongrass | cABAna El Rey 

Pasta is life, but some people might disagree, as it’s all about 

the rice. Wrapped around raw fish, served under a mountain 

of curry, or dished up as a creamy risotto or spicy arroz 

anything, all signs point to yes and more yes. Even if you haven’t 

yet boarded the rice train, or you are the self-proclaimed conductor, 

it’s the most delicious time to grind the grain as September is 

National Rice Month. Start your culinary journey at Lemongrass 

with their $19 Poke Bowl, made with tuna or salmon poke and 

served with a choice of rice, green salad or a brown rice base with 

edamame, seaweed salad, avocado, ginger, spicy kani and nori. Or, 

try the spicier side of life with Hawkers Asian Street Food and 

their Hawker’s Delight. This saucy blend of wok-seared tofu, broccoli, 

carrots, napa cabbage, bell peppers and straw mushrooms 

served with jasmine rice for $12 is sure to delight your palate. 

If you’d like to enjoy a dish where rice is boss, then look no further 

than Cabana El Rey’s Paella Marinera. It’s a perfect blend of 

shrimp, octopus, calamari, scallops, clams and mussels simmered 

with saffron and garlic in a caldera of Valencia rice for $36. Yes, 

we are all getting hungry now. Rice is nice, don’t you agree? Please 

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

complete restaurant information.

regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life 

savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start 

blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. 

As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the 

billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside 

down. Dumb Money is directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker

their money. A chance introduction from Patrices’s drug dealer has 


the art world meet the underworld, and a plan is hatched. The one 

hitch: Patrice needs something to sell. With that, Reggie taps into 

his inner artist and makes a painting which immediately “sells” for 

an incredibly high price. When the noteworthy price for this new 

mystery artist accidentally leaks, the art career of “The Bagman” 

is born, attracting attention and press, something his superiors in 

the underworld are very unhappy with. The Kill Room is directed 

by American comedian / actress / writer / filmmaker Nicol Paone,

Thurman stars with Joe Manganiello, Samuel L. Jackson.

Tom Lake 

By Ann Patchett 

In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three 

daughters return to the family’s orchard 

in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, 

they beg their mother to tell them the 

story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with 

whom she shared both a stage and a romance 

years before at a theater company 

called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, 

her daughters examine their own lives 

and relationship with their mother, and 

are forced to reconsider the world and everything 

they thought they knew. 

Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful 

love, married love, and the lives parents 

have led before their children were 

born. Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores 

what it means to be happy even when the 

world is falling apart. As in all of her novels, 

Ann Patchett combines compelling 

narrative artistry with piercing insights 

into family dynamics. The result is a rich 

and luminous story, told with profound 

intelligence and emotional subtlety, that 

demonstrates once again why she is one 

of the most revered and acclaimed literary 

talents working today. This “sweeping 

intergenerational saga” tells the story 

of a pampered and defiant South Korean 

42 | September 2023 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

matriarch thrust into the afterlife from 

which she seeks a second chance to make 

amends (Kirstin Chen)—and fights off a 

tragic curse that could devastate generations 

to come. 

The Apology 

By Jimin Han 

In South Korea, a 105-year-old woman 

receives a letter. Ten days later, she has 

been thrust into the afterlife, fighting to 

head off a curse that will otherwise devastate 

generations to come. 

Hak Jeonga has always shouldered the 

burden of upholding the family name. 

When she sent her daughter-in-law to 

America to cover up an illegitimate birth, 

she was simply doing what was needed to 

preserve the reputations of her loved ones. 

How could she have known that decades 

later, this decision would return to haunt 

her—threatening to tear apart her bond 

with her beloved son, her relationship with 

her infuriatingly insolent sisters, and the 

future of the family she has worked so hard 

to protect? 

Part ghost story and part family epic, 

The Apology is an incisive tale of sisterhood 

and diaspora, reaching back to the days of 

Japanese colonialism and the Korean War, 

and told through the singular voice of a defiant, 

funny, and unforgettable centenarian. 

Now Is Not The Time 

To Panic 

By Kevin Wilson 

Named a Best Book of the Year by: Time 

* Kirkus Reviews * USA Today * Entertainment 

Weekly * Garden & Gun * Vox * 

Atlanta Journal-Constitution 

An exuberant, bighearted novel about 

two teenage misfits who spectacularly collide 

one fateful summer, and the art they 

make that changes their lives forever 

Sixteen-year-old Frankie Budge—aspiring 

writer, indifferent student, offbeat 

loner—is determined to make it through 

yet another summer in Coalfield, Tennessee, 

when she meets Zeke, a talented artist 

who has just moved into his grandmother’s 

house and who is as awkward as Frankie is. 

Romantic and creative sparks begin to fly, 

and when the two jointly make an unsigned 

poster, shot through with an enigmatic 

phrase, it becomes unforgettable to anyone 

who sees it. The edge is a shantytown filled 

with gold seekers. We are fugitives, and the 

law is skinny with hunger for us. 

COPYRIGHTED

The posters begin appearing everywhere, and people 

wonder who is behind them and start to panic. Satanists, 

kidnappers—the rumors won’t stop, and soon the mystery 

has dangerous repercussions that spread far beyond 

the town. 

Twenty years later, Frances Eleanor Budge gets a call 

that threatens to upend her carefully built life: a journalist 

named Mazzy Brower is writing a story about the 

Coalfield Panic of 1996. Might Frances know something 

about that? 

Like a River: 

By Granger Smith 

Like a River, a triumphant story of new life birthed out 

of tragedy, will teach readers how to face their failures, 

confront their pain, and connect with God—the true 

source of life. 

On June 4th, 2019, country music singer Granger Smith 

was enjoying a final evening with his kids before heading 

to Nashville for the CMT Music Awards and his next tour. 

While helping his daughter London with her gymnastics, 

his youngest son fell into their pool. Granger did everything 

he could to get to him, but he was too late. River 

drowned, and Granger’s world shattered. 

The days, weeks, and months that followed River’s 

death sent Granger on a dark and painful journey. Every 

time he closed his eyes, he replayed the horrific event in 

his mind, and every time he opened his computer, he was 

bombarded by the critique and criticism of people who 

blamed him for the accident. 

Despite his best effort to get back on stage with a smile 

and song, it was all a façade. On the inside he was dying. 

Fortunately, that’s not how his story ended. And now he 

is compelled to help people all around the world find 

strength, peace, and hope on the other side of tragedy. 

Like a River, life is full of twists and turns. 

Like a River, people pollute our world with their critique 

and criticism. 

Like a River, tragic events keep us dammed up. 

But like a river, we can find the courage to keep moving 

downstream. 

Rivers don’t run on their own strength; they flow from 

their source. When we try to keep going on our own, we 

won’t make it, but when we connect to the greater source, 

we will find the strength and the faith to keep living after 

loss. This triumphant story of new life birthed out of 

death will inspire every reader to live Like a River.

health & beauty | pain relief 

By Dr. Safranski 

A Functional Life 

As we age, it invariably becomes more important to continue 

to move. I often get push back from the 65+ community 

about how to move and that they move enough. 

I 

am here to tell you that playing tennis or pickleball 2-3 times 

a week may seem like enough movement, and it may be for 

your cardiovascular output, but it certainly is not a functional 

directed movement that is meant to target and help stabilize the 

joints that ache daily. Gone are the days of static stretching. Static 

stretching is only beneficial after getting the blood flowing postworkout 

or after a dynamic workout. So “stretching” daily really 

isn’t going to do much outside of temporary relief. For those looking 

for a start, here are 10 quick pointers on how chiropractic and 

functional movement can help you stay active during retirement. 

For more clarity, here is the commonly used definition of a 

functional movement. “a functional movement is a movement sequence 

based on real-world situations.” 

Importance of Mobility: maintaining mobility is extremely 

important. Gone are the days of being 

strong and stiff. We now know the importance 

of being strong in positions 

that are functional. Here’s a challenge, 

find a movement, a bodyweight squat 

is a great one. Go down as far as 

you can without losing 

your balance. Hold that 

position for 15-30 seconds. 

Are you breathing 

in that position? Probably 

not. That means you really don’t 

“own that position”, here enters 

mobility—the process of being able 

to do the movement without struggle 

through a full range of motion. 

Gentle Exercise: Encouraging 

low-impact exercises 

like walking, swimming, 

or yoga can be beneficial 

for their joint health and 

flexibility, complementing 

chiropractic care. 

However, as I mentioned 

above, this is not the only 

thing you should be doing. My 

question to you is, if your neck is a problem, 

how is walking with your legs 

going to strengthen the muscles of 

the neck? 

Strengthening Core Muscles: 

Emphasize the significance of core 

strength for stability and balance, which can be achieved through 

exercises and functional movements tailored to their abilities. This 

alone can be beneficial to get you on the right track. I encourage patients 

of all ages to challenge themselves to strengthen their core. 

Pain Management: Chiropractic care can help alleviate chronic 

pain, joint discomfort, and muscle stiffness, allowing them to engage 

in physical activities more comfortably. Getting adjusted is 

just one piece of the pie, but it helps all the others to be effective. 

Preventing Injuries: Chiropractic care and functional movement 

practices can help prevent injuries during everyday activities 

and during exercise routines. Chiropractic care coupled with the 

right physical therapy, and functional movement protocols can help 

push forward through most musculoskeletal pains and aches. 

Individualized Approach: Personalized treatment plans based 

on their specific needs and health conditions, ensuring safety and effectiveness 

are a must! Cookie-cutter approaches are a thing of the 

past and make people feel like just a number in a conveyor belt of an 

office. A personal approach lets your patients know you care. We care. 

Regular Check-ups: Regular chiropractic check-ups allow us to 

track your progress and alter the treatment plan as needed. I empower 

my patients to take the time to learn about their bodies and 

learn what makes them feel well. I personally get adjusted 2-3x a 

week due to the physicality of my job, so that is what makes my 

body feel well, so I encourage people to take the time to know how 

often they should get adjusted or do maintenance work. 

Social Benefits: The social aspects of staying active are what 

retirement is all about. Joining group exercises or classes, playing 

racket sports, walking on the beach, playing cards, dinners, drinks 

or whatever floats your boat! Being active is what we live for! 

Adaptation for Abilities: Being functionally strong and mobile 

will help you be able to do the simple things, like cooking, cleaning, 

and taking care of yourself as well. We don’t want to depend on others

5 Ways to Optimize 

Your Results! 

Looking to get the most out of your time in the 

gym or speed up your results? Here are 5 tips 

to ensure your mind and booty are in the game! 

1. Go in with a GOAL! 

Have a specific goal in mind! It could be to finish a 

set without stopping, it could be to go 5lb heavier, it 

could be to rest less. Pick something that is doable 

and that will make you feel accomplished! It 

doesn’t have to be anything crazy either, just 

something that will keep your mind engaged 

and your body pushing through. I usually 

imagine my booty in a bathing suit bottom, 

that usually does the trick for me! 

2. Push YOURSELF!! 

I see way too many clients slacking! 

Stopping way before they could. Picking 

up weights that are too light, just generally 

going half ass! And these are clients 

that we can SEE! I can only imagine 

what goes on for virtual clients that we 

don’t see. If you’re constantly picking 

up the same weight day after day, and 

resting too much, you’re not going to 

see the results that you could be seeing! 

To change your body, you need to 

push your body! Get out of your comfort 

zone! Working out doesn’t always feel 

good. Feeling amazing and being 

healthy does! 

3. Focus on YOU! 

Don’t compare yourself to anyone 

else! Everyone is on a different journey with 

different goals. You are your only competition! 

Don’t waste time wondering what 

speed your neighbor on the treadmill is on, 

focus on doing YOUR best! YOU are your 

own competition. 

4. Go in with GRATITUDE! 

Approach your workout with a POSITIVE mindset. 

Focus on the fact that you GET to workout, 

not that you “have” to workout! Be grateful that 

you’re able bodied, alive, and healthy. If you go 

through the workout saying, “I don’t want to do 

this,” “This sucks,” etc., then chances are it’s 

going to show in your performance. Mindset 

is everything and what’s going on in your 

head, is going to show in your workout. 

It’s only 1 hour, 4% of your day, give 

yourself that time. 

5. Go HEAVY! 

As most of you already know, 

lifting heavy weights is not going 

to make you bulky. Going heavier 

on the weights will help you burn 

more calories and transform your 

body faster! You can always drop 

down to lighter weights if you 

need to! But if you don’t at least 

TRY or attempt to pick up that 

heavier weight, then you’ll never 

know what you’re capable of! You 

might just surprise yourself! 

And lastly, remind yourself 

this: The only workout you’ll really 

REGRET is the one that DIDN’T 

happen!

Jonathan Escoffery 

Interviewed and written by Emily Peters | Photo by Cola Greenhill-Casados 

Jonathan Escoffery’s debut book, If I Survive You, persuades the reader 

to ponder one of the most important questions of the human experience 

- what are you? Masterfully chronicled, this collection of linked stories 

is a powerful rendition of what it means to grow up examining your 

identity, and the lengths one will go to while figuring it out. 

In the first short story, “In Flux,” we are introduced to Trelawny 

- the youngest son of Jamaican-born parents who fled to the United 

States from their homeland, in hopes of escaping political upheaval 

and a consequential rapidly increasing crime-rate. Setting the 

tone that will continue the underlying trope throughout the novel, 

Escoffery’s personal experience mirrors the main character, having 

spent his formative years in South Florida encountering many of 

these inquiries himself. The metropolitan areas of Miami-Dade, and 

Broward Counties equally become fundamental figures by themselves, 

serving as a backdrop for a diverse cast of personalities, each 

striving to survive life’s calamities - including Hurricane Andrew. 

“It’s all influenced by my experience growing up in Miami with 

Jamaican parents - but I think of myself as a storyteller first, moreso 

than a chronicler of my own life. Since I was eight years old I’ve 

been writing and trying to tell interesting and compelling stories. 

Some of the choices Trelawny makes, I’ve never even had to think 

about… but I did go to grad school in the Midwest, where Trelawny 

goes to college. I think in a way, a lot of what he goes through when 

he returns, has to do with my anxieties around what I imagined 

could have been my fate had I moved back to Miami. At times I 

thought I was writing a story collection and other times a novel, but 

the spirit of both lives within the book. One of the reasons I went 

with my publisher was because they had the idea that we didn’t 

have to put a subtitle on the cover that would dictate how people 

had to read it. I absolutely loved that notion, because to me… I was 

building a cohesive world around this family in Miami, but I wanted 

people to read it as they chose, and for the book to exist in that inbetween 

space.” 

As Trelawny tackles serious life issues, Escoffery’s powerful poeticism 

begs the page to be turned and discover the humor deep 

within dismay. 

“In “Odd Jobs,” when we meet Trelawny, he has been devastated 

by having been kicked out of his father’s house and the reality 

of living out of his vehicle. We get a quick roundup in the first 

paragraph of that particular story, of all his attempts to make 

something of himself, and where we leave him at the end - is with 


COPYRIGHTED

the oddest job of them all. The story begins with him saying it’s 

this job that has saved him. Trelawny was on a trajectory towards 

giving up, and the events that transpire on this day are what allow 

him to seek out how to be a survivor. The next time we see him, he 

has found full time work, and is really striving to put a roof back 

over his head.” 

Escoffery’s If I Survive You is a work of fiction, but incorporates a 

time in the world that is very much real to 

a large sector of the population and crucial 

not to be forgotten. 

“I spoke with a lot of Jamaicans that 

had immigrated here during the seventies 

and eighties, and stayed, including 

my parents. There were some people 

that moved back shortly after they gave 

living here a go, and some who never left 

Jamaica. Their stories were sort of similar 

across the board, so I went with those 

as fact - although to corroborate the 

stories, I looked to the Jamaica Gleaner 

(periodical) for the historical events. I 

think what I’m most happy about, is the 

chance to add to the historical record of 

the Jamaican diaspora, and to document 

what it was like to grow up in Miami during 

the 1980’s and nineties - being able 

to talk about events I’ve never read about 

before. I know people who have had parallel 

experiences to mine that may see 

themselves in my writing, and I really 

wanted to contribute that to literature.” 

Jonathan’s knack for capturing the true essence of his characters 

comes through often in their speech, with detailed colorful prose and 

an astute recognition, that exposes each individual’s uniqueness. 

“If I wrote some sections in what’s thought of as a “standardized 

form of English,” it would have killed the authenticity of Topper 

(Trelawny and Delano’s father). He’s largely telling himself 

the story of his life up to a certain point, and it would have been 

odd for him to translate it through someone else’s language. Not 

all Jamaican’s talk like Topper, but I tried to weave in various registers 

- even with Trelawny himself, as he is attempting to fit into 

different spaces.” 

The title of a book has the power to seize your attention and illuminate 

personal perspective about what to expect inside. Escoffery 

explains a bit of how he decided on the name, If I Survive You. 

“I was re-reading the manuscript and the word survival kept 

coming up, and I asked myself what does that mean… as the characters 

are dealing with, in some cases, life or death situations. There’s 

this family narrative and father/son dynamic that appears across 

multiple characters, and I started thinking about Jamaican heritage, 

particularly that of the second generation - and are they going to be 

able to sustain that in the United States? What happens when the 

older generation dies and we survive them… and all that remains 

is what they leave behind? Surviving someone in that sense - describing 

what Topper and Sanya are handing down to their sons… I 

wanted the term ‘survive’ to be interpreted in different ways.” 

Joining the ranks of pop culture icon status, viewers of HBO 

Max’s And Just Like That may have caught a glimpse of Escoffery’s 

book cradled under Sarah Jessica Parker’s arm. 

“The moment was surreal… but I didn’t know that scene was going 

to make it into the show until Season 2 premiered. It’s interesting 

when you spend your time around other writers - sometimes 

what we value isn’t always what the larger media consuming public 

values, and so to have that crossover is phenomenal.” 

“Under the Ackee Tree” proves to be a 

vital section in the book and should be 

poured over with care. Trelawny demonstrates 

his frustration with having to 

constantly defend his heritage and trying 

to assimilate as an outsider, by acting out 

in a rebellious and violent way at his father’s 

home. 

“Ackee and saltfish is Jamaica’s national 

dish, and is important to Topper. Part of 

his dream home that he builds in Florida 

included the fruits of his homeland. He’s 

only able to have this tree in his backyard 

because his favorite son, Delano, becomes 

an arborist and transplants an ackee tree 

for him. So there’s this sense that Delano, 

the one who was born in Jamaica, understands 

the importance of lineage and culture. 

There’s also this idea that Trelawny 

doesn’t appreciate or understand the culture, 

and since childhood says he doesn’t 

even like the taste of ackee and saltfish. 

I see the pivot points of attempting to 

sever the ties with his birthright at the 

end of “Under the Ackee Tree,” and the final paragraph of the book. 

There’s an opportunity for hope and healing in that final moment, 

and those two instances operate as pillars for the book. My own 

father definitely became someone who was rooting for me, and although 

he didn’t necessarily understand my journey with writing… 

he was rooting for me more and more until he passed away.” 

Jonathan is currently working on a second work of fiction set in 

Miami Beach, and is slated to appear at the Brooklyn Caribbean Literary 

Festival in early September. 

“If, If I Survive You is the only book I ever write, I’ll still be proud 

because it achieves what I set out to accomplish. Sometimes the adversity 

you face, that often comes in the form of editorial rejection, 

can make your career something you can be proud of, so I don’t encourage 

people to rush to get their work out. Making your writing 

truly exceptional and undeniable takes time and perspective. My 

advice, if you can stand it - is patience.” 

Escoffery’s triumph received American Short Fiction’s 2023 

Constellation Award for a Story Collection, was longlisted for the 

Booker Prize and the National Book Award, shortlisted for the 

PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the National Book Critics 

Circle’s John Leonard Prize, and was named one of the best books 

of 2022 by Entertainment Weekly, TIME, The New Yorker, People, 

Oprah Daily, and Kirkus. 

Picador is scheduled to release the paperback edition of If I Survive 

You on September 5, 2023 which can be purchased online or at 

any Barnes & Noble bookstore location.

A LITTLE WYLD 

How Much Fun Can You 

Have In One Place – A Lot! 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

You don’t have to be a fashionista to adore the Pineapple 

Grove boutique with the WYLD name. The square footage 

may be petite, but their fashion footprint is huge. 

With clothing and gift items carefully curated from around 

the world, this museum-like shop caters to anyone who 

cherishes the bright side of life. 

Though some of the merchandise is rooted in fantasy it is artfully 

based in reality and steeped in creativity. That’s why most people call 

A Little Wyld their happy place. 

And for good reason. 

The walls, displays, and racks that surround this whimsical shop are 

filled with color, glitter, shine and common sense as their outer glory. 

This panorama of good taste has its origins in owners Skye and 

Amanda. They search like historians for the newest and most creative 

designers whose sole purpose is to make clothing and accessories 

meet life’s most fulfilling passion – Joy. 

Though they started out as a children’s boutique, the demand for 

clothing, home décor, novelty gift items and accessories for grownups 

is now part of the merchandise mix. 

They also started selling wallpaper from UK based company Milton 

& King. These eclectic yet fun wall coverings create spaces that 

speak volumes about the creative capabilities of wallpaper. “We have 

a lot of beautiful prints available, and we’ll have a swatch book. You 

can order your wallpaper with your measurements with us and pick 

it up here,” said Amanda. 

They also carry designer clothing and accessories from House of 

Perna (co-owner Amanda’s company) that are exclusive and designworthy. 

There are fun children’s party dresses, sequin and bomber 

jackets with matching pants, vegan leather and metallic pieces with 

grown-up design sensibility. 

Megan Fabulous is one new brand A Little Wyld carries that has 

wonderful designer-inspired sportswear and tie dye tops with verve 

and excitement. Their Grateful Dead tie dye tank tops have lace trim 

and butterfly appliques. The designers at Megan Fabulous know that 

children and adults love material matter that is fabulous and colorful. 

A Little Wyld also specializes in novelty hair accessories, sunglasses 

and jewelry that will make you see that creativity is limitless with 

spontaneous sparks of color. They have neon pink high-top sequin 

and satin sneakers from Lola & The Boys. 

If you’re taking a family trip, A Little Wyld (whose owners both 

have children) knows that little ones need to have fun to be fun. 

That’s why they have a great assortment of art supplies, games and 

toys that give children the ability to become skillful artisans by just 

opening a kit or box. Everything is cleverly put in one place. They 

even have posters with colored pencils to make wall art to hang in 

their bedroom. 

“We have something for everyone. Customers say they can spend 

hours here because we have so many unique things to look at,” said Skye. 

Karen couldn’t agree more. 

“This place is a little gem, especially when you need a gift right 

before a party! This adorable shop has beautiful things and a wonderful 

staff! Everything is unique and thoughtful. I needed items for 

a baby shower basket and had a hard time choosing there were so 

many great options.” 

There are bathing suits made from plastic water bottles and clothing 

and accessories in recycled material, bamboo and natural fibers. 

The newness and novelty of some brands in the store are due to their 

overseas origin. 

For kids on the go they have basketballs in colorful prints that will 

score on and off the court. Also new are retro-inspired “super cool” 

Banwood Bikes and helmets. You can order them now for the holidays. 

Their colorful designer-inspired accessories from emerging de- 

COPYRIGHTED 


signers will rock your world as well. They have sunglasses, gemstone 

geode necklaces, handbags, hats and gift items that you won’t see 

anywhere else. 

There are also dress-up items for Halloween, costumes, and assorted 

hair accessories that speak their mind (in fashion lore). For 

the little fashionista there are jewel trimmed “Mermaid in Training” 

swim goggles. 

A Little Wyld has novelty home décor items that make wonderful 

gift items. There are swaddle blankets for newborns, travel pouches 

for wet wipes, novelty soaps, bridal travel kits and a tension wind 

down kit. 

If you’re on your way to a party and only have 10 minutes to get a 

hostess gift, stop by A Little Wyld. They will pick out something for 

you and have it waiting. They also have an online store and expert 

personal shoppers. 

“Because it’s warm and people can go to the beach all year round 

here, we try to buy things for locals and visitors alike.” 

That is why they have novelty caftan-style dresses, wide-legged 

pants, off-the-shoulder tops and a carefully curated collection of anything 

you can imagine. 

If you’re looking for a gift for the wine connoisseur in your life, 

they have silver wine briefcases that only look great, but are definitely 

a kitschy conversation piece. 

A Little Wyld is a shoppers’ paradise. It’s also a place to see ones’ 

expectation of wonderful expanded and exposed to the depth and 

breadth of fabulousness!

MOROCO ORTHODONTICS 

Celebrating Its 25th 

Anniversary in Delray Beach! 

By diane feen | photos by melissa korman 

Although a lot has changed in 25 years, one thing that has 

remained consistent is the outstanding reputation of Dr. Moroco 

and her team, which now includes Dr. David Simon. 

“I 

want to say a million great things about Moroco Orthodontics! 

I was immediately greeted by a very warm and friendly 

front desk. At 55 my teeth were shifting, so I decided to get 

Invisalign. I met with Dr. Moroco and I knew right away she was 

going to help me. She has a great reputation and is simply the VERY 

best out there,” said Sheri. 

“As a family, we are so honored to be a patient of Moroco Orthodontics. 

From the first call we were greeted with professionalism and a 

caring representative. When we arrived, they knew my son by name 

and welcomed us with open arms. Their technology is outstanding, 

and their professionalism is like none other. We are truly excited to 

get braces, and who says that? This was the best decision we’ve made 

for our family and the health of my son’s teeth,” said Randye. 

People not only rave about the doctors and the team but also 

about their consistent investment in new technology that makes 

the entire orthodontic experience more comfortable and efficient 

for patients of all ages and in all parts of the world. 

At Moroco Orthodontics, gone are the days of messy impressions, 

painful, lengthy and frequent appointments that can often be associated 

with past orthodontic treatments. 


New Patient Consultation 

“Believe me! I have been working with patients in this area for 

30 years and when my prior patients return for the orthodontic 

care of their children and/or retreatment for themselves they are 

amazed at the technology we have added to the practice to elevate 

the patient experience and quality of care!” said Dr. Moroco. 

Some of the most exciting and impactful technology investments 

have included: 

1) iTero scanners which eliminate the need for old-fashioned alginate 

impressions while providing 3D views of the teeth for diagnostic 

purposes. 

2) 3D Xray images that provide a more accurate view of tooth/ 

jaw positions which leads to more accurate treatment plans and 

treatment timing. 

3) 3D Printers which provide detailed, accurate models of the patient’s 

teeth on which to design and fabricate appliances. 

4) Dental Monitoring TM, an AI-powered platform that allows 

patients to use their smartphones for weekly scans of the appliances, 

teeth and bite. 

The reports from these scans are uploaded for the doctors to 

review and can provide information that would not necessarily be 

detected by the human eye and/or by the patient. 

“The level of detail we read in these reports allows us to more 

accurately plan the patient’s next ‘in person’ appointment thereby 

eliminating the need for unnecessary visits to the office to check 

on treatment progress,” said Dr. Simon. “In a nutshell, we have a 

closer eye on treatment progress with less visits to the office. Also, 

COPYRIGHTED 

PATIENT USING NEW TECHNOLOGY DENTAL MONItorING

PATIENT USING NEW TECHNOLOGY DENTAL MONItorING 

we catch and rectify developing problems sooner which improves 

overall treatment time!” 

Dental Monitoring has also made it possible to treat patients 

who live in other parts of the world. “Florida is a wonderful 

mix of people who choose to live here part time and 

somewhere else part time. Combining Invisalign® and/or 

braces with Dental Monitoring has expanded our ability to 

treat these patients more effectively,” said Dr. Moroco. 

No amount of technology, however, can replace Moroco 

Orthodontics’ commitment to comprehensive and individualized 

treatment planning by the doctors for patients. 

“There is no ‘rubber stamp’ here. One of the things I love 

most about my profession is that no 2 smiles are the same,” 

said Dr. Moroco. “Every patient of every age presents with 

different challenges. Dr. Simon and I take the necessary time 

to review these issues along with the goals and concerns of 

the patient to arrive at a plan to fit their needs. Then we apply 

the appropriate technology to drive us toward those goals 

in the most effective, efficient and comfortable way possible.” 

Dr. Moroco moved to Delray Beach in 1993 after completing 

her residency in Orthodontics and M.S. in Oral Biology at 

Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas. 

Dr. Simon had a well-established and well-respected orthodontic 

practice in Wellington for 20 years before joining 

Dr. Moroco. “She has an amazing reputation for high quality 

orthodontic treatment and a fantastic patient experience. It 

seemed like a perfect match for me.” 

And, indeed it is. 

Congratulations to Moroco Orthodontics for their 25-year 

unwavering dedication to their patients and the southeast FL 

community at large!

28th Annual Mark Gerretson 

Memorial Fishing Tournament 

By the MGMFT Committee 

The 28th Annual Mark Gerretson Memorial Fishing Tournament 

was held on August 12, 2023. The Tournament Committee thanks 

all of the donors, participants, and volunteers for ensuring that 

the tournament was, once again, a tremendous success that will 

benefit a number of local charities and local children. 


The tournament was started in 1994 by Mark Gerretson as the 

Delray Beach Jaycees Fishing Tournament to raise money 

for the Delray Police Department’s Kids and Cops program. 

Mark ran the tournament for the next 11 years before he unexpectedly 

passed away in 2005. His friends and family made a pact to 

carry on the tournament in his name. In 2016, the tournament became 

a 501(C) 3 non-profit Organization. 

On Thursday, August 10th 2023, the Captain’s Meeting was held 

at Hurricane Bar & Lounge at 640 E. Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach. The 

owner, Paul Podlewski, and his staff did their normal outstanding 

job taking care of everyone and making sure that the meeting was a 

success. There were “High Dollar” raffle prizes given out which included

LINDSEY MYGATT AND CurtIS BENNETT 

Real Estate Pros To The Max 


If Lindsey Mygatt and Curtis 

Bennett were ball players, they 

would be on the “All Star” Team. 

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

sales since they entered the South Florida real estate market. 

Their reputation is stellar and they are founds of “The 

South Ocean Group” at Coldwell Banker Realty in Delray. 

The two are International President’s Elite winners, placing 

them in the top 2% of the company worldwide. 

They also earned the Coldwell Banker Rising Star Award in SE 

Florida and were named one of the “top 30 Real Estate Agents 

Under the age of 30.” 

The reason for all the accolades bestowed upon them is their 

“can do” attitude, relentlessly striving to surpass client satisfaction 

and their customer-centric approach. 

“We strive to provide ‘white glove’ customer service to our clients 

throughout the whole process and well after the sale. We are 

proactive and have found in today’s market, that is essential. We 

don’t stop until we find our clients the perfect home.” 

You bet they do. Just ask Rebecca about their determination and 

relentless drive toward perfection. 


“Lindsey and Curtis are the best in the business! They were so 

patient helping us find our dream home. They were always available 

and showed us everything to make sure we found the perfect 

house. They are by your side the entire process. If you’re looking 

for a new home, look no further for realtors than this amazing 

duo. They make your real estate dreams come true.” 

When clients ask them to find their perfect home, and nothing 

seems available, Lindsey and Curtis work hard to go out and find 

it. This is one of their secret sauces. They don’t wait for the right 

home to appear; they create what the client wants. 

Lindsey and Curtis are also marketing pros. That is one reason 

they talk less and sell more. ““Our marketing plans are sophisticated 

when marketing our clients’ homes” 

They strive to make the entire real estate process efficient, 

successful, stress-free and fun for clients. This is accomplished 

through their constant communication and being on top of the 

process from start to finish. 

“We gain our clients’ trust and confidence with our in-depth 

market knowledge, full-service approach, and passion for helping 

them meet their real estate goals, big or small.” 

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

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

your real estate goals a reality.” 

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

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

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

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

COPYRIGHTED

their trusted realtors, but also friends. “The by-product of this attention 

to detail, and care for clients is friendship.” 

The reason for all the accolades beaming their way is due to passion, 

not only for real estate, but for their clients and Delray Beach. 

The two live in Delray, play in Delray and think the sun sets a 

little brighter on the streets of Delray (and nearby areas). 

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

showing property, traveling on A1A at sunrise, (before a busy 

day) or on their way to dinner on Atlantic Avenue. 

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

be the best - comes naturally to the pair that have a real estate 

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

who has been in real estate business for 35 years (25 with 

Coldwell Banker Realty). Curtis’ history also includes real estate 

royalty – his grandfather was a successful real estate developer 

in Connecticut. 

But it is not a generational consideration that has spurred them 

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

real estate. 

“We were born to do this!” 

They are also bullish on its lasting inherent value. 

“Iconic markets like Delray Beach, Boca Raton and Palm Beach 

are prime locations that can stand the test of time through any market 

change. Having knowledgeable local agents who are dedicated, 

passionate and creative with a go-getter attitude is critical today.” 

Both Lindsey and Curtis are adamant that Delray Beach is an 

idyllic place to work, live and play. You may have seen their weekly 

social media feature called “What’s Happening in Delray Beach.” 

It’s natural, authentic and a sparkling online roundup of weekly 

activities and events happening in downtown. “We really enjoy 

sharing our favorite local restaurants, shops and events happening 

around town.” 

They also have an Oprah-esque list of favorite Delray Beach 

things to-do. 

Their latest “Taste of the Town” Roundup and favorite local hot 

spots are: Palm Trail Grill, CASA L’ACQUA, the Grove and City Oyster. 

Captain Clay’s Seafood is their favorite place to buy fresh seafood. 

And, on Saturday mornings (when not showing real estate) 

the couple enjoy jumping on their golf cart and shopping at the 

Delray Green Market for fresh food. 

They also frequent the Shops at the Seagate Hotel and enjoy 

grabbing a quick coffee between showings at the two new coffee 

shop in town, Seed Coffee & Foxtail Coffee. 

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, or are an out-of-state 

buyer, Lindsey and Curtis would love to be part of your homebuying, 

selling, or investing journey!

Coastal AbstrACt 

A Joint Venture With Michael Stamm 

of Stamm Development Group 

and Gregg Rego of City Abstract 


It’s been almost three years since Stamm Development 

Group, a private real estate development company, expanded 

from their home base in Philadelphia to South Florida. 

They came with both exciting and ambitious plans to build 

luxury high-end single-family homes and town-homes in 

Delray Beach; and have done just that. 

Within this ambitious and solidly successful pedigree, Stamm 

Development Group has once again expanded services for their 

clients through a joint venture with Mike Stamm of Stamm 

Development Group and Gregg Rego of City Abstract in opening a 

title and settlement services company, Coastal Abstract and Title 

Agent, LLC (Coastal Abstract). 

Title work can be one of the most important and nuanced parts 

of a real estate transaction. Title insurance protects home buyers 

against covered title defects, such as a previous owner’s debt, 

liens, and other claims of ownership. It’s an insurance policy that 

protects against past problems; other insurances usually deal 

with future risks. 

Title insurance coverage also gives homeowners peace of mind 

in the knowledge that they’ll be excused from legal disputes tied to 

the property prior to their ownership.

Coastal AbstrACt conference room 

Stamm explains having a title team at his buyer’s disposal expands 

Stamm Development Group’s client service promise. Stamm 

has always been impressed when working in the Philadelphia market 

with Gregg Rego’s success and influence at City Abstract, one of 

the largest and most successful Pennsylvania and New Jersey Title 

Companies – which is why he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to 

expand upon the success with Gregg and create their joint title 

venture, Coastal Abstract. 

“Together we are bringing a new approach to title insurance in 

South Florida. We have created a brand that is normally a commodity, 

but our service is top of the line. We provide a luxury customeroriented 

approach,” said Stamm. 

Gregg explains, “We are investing in our brand and infrastructure 

and are excited to be the go-to title company and resource for 

luxury home transactions in the South Florida area – we are able to 

offer a high level of experience at Coastal Abstract and have already 

built a solid repertoire with our customers, we are hands on, and, 

deliver a commoditized product that is different”. 

Mike and Gregg have hired a full-time staff with decades of Florida 

title insurance experience to join the team at Coastal Abstract. 

Coastal Abstract began transacting in August of 2022 and in one 

short year, have handled title work and settlements for an impressive 

nearly $200 million in real estate sales and loan originations. 

Stamm and Rego are both men who people trust and believe. When 

they do something, they do it the right way, with a lot of thought 

and professional expertise. That is why the collaboration is so exciting 

for the two of them to be bringing this title company to the 

Florida market. 

“We are giving them our influence and connection to prominent 

brokerages in South Florida. That is why our clients are using 

Coastal Abstract and Title .” 

One of their clients, Luxury Properties & New Construction 

Specialist Jennifer Kilpatrick, CLHMS has worked with Coastal 

Abstract and has a lot to say about their expertise and ability to 

outshine the competition. 

“I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Coastal Abstract 

for several of my recent successful closings. Their dedication to 

providing seamless and efficient services has impressed me. The 

team at Coastal Abstract is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but 

they also prioritize clear communication and attention to even the 

Coastal AbstrACt office 

smallest details - which can make a real difference for all parties 

involved,” said top performing realtor Kilpatrick. 

When a problem arose, Kilpatrick said, there was swift communication 

and professionalism and all (and any wrinkles) were 

ironed out easily. 

“As a partner in the industry - based on the successful closings we 

have had - I happily recommend them to future clients looking for 

incredible support and a smooth experience. As a seasoned real estate 

professional in Delray Beach, I’ve enjoyed working with Mia Ortiz 

(branch manager) and her team at Coastal Abstract and Title Company.” 

Because of Gregg and City Abstract’s relationship’s, Coastal Abstract 

writes policies with four of the largest title insurance underwriters. 

“Using title professionals is important for most real estate 

deals and is what we do full time.” 

All of their clients and customers at Coastal Abstract have access 

to an amazing set of resources giving full undivided attention, 

proper title insurance, and due process is in order. 

Coastal Abstract has officially opened their doors in Delray at 

900 East Atlantic Avenue – Suite 20. 

Stamm infiltrated South Florida three years ago with his word 

being his guarantee. And over those three years, his homes have 

shown their brilliance of both architecture and integrity. He stands 

proudly behind Coastal Abstract for another brilliant business 

brought to the South Florida market. 

Gregg Rego is thrilled about his affiliation with Coastal Abstract. 

“We value the power of relationships and believe in building strong 

connections; when you work with us, you can count on open communication, 

trust and a genuine commitment to your success.” 

Though Coastal Abstract is located in Delray Beach they can close 

anywhere in the State of Florida. With unmatched expertise and 

commitment to title services, Coastal Abstract is taking the South 

Florida market by storm by bringing a unique flare and a personalized 

approach to your real estate settlement services. 

“We understand the importance of a smooth and seamless closing 

process. With this in mind, our team can navigate the complexities 

of real estate transactions with ease, ensuring that our clients’ 

interests are protected every step of the way.”

Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive 

During the Florida Atlantic 

University vs. Ohio Football Game 

Boca Helping Hands (BHH), in collaboration with Florida Atlantic University 

Athletics and Cereal4All, for the third year in a row, will commemorate 

September’s Hunger Action Month by hosting a Tackle Hunger Cereal 

Drive during the Florida Atlantic University vs. Ohio football game. 

The game will take place on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 6:00 pm at 

the Florida Atlantic University Stadium, 777 Glades Road, 

Boca Raton, FL 33431. Those who donate one or more cereal 

boxes will get a free ticket to the game. Unopened cereal boxes 

can be dropped at the stadium (Gate 1) on game day. 

“This is a great way to see your favorite football team play while 

helping to fight hunger in our community,” said Greg Hazle, Executive 

Director of Boca Helping Hands. “Cereal is one of the least 

donated items to food banks across the country, which means underserved 

kids and families do not always get to start their day 

with a nutritious breakfast.” 

Nonprofit Cereal4All was started by twin brothers Jett and Luke 

Justin of Boca Raton, now 15 years old. After volunteering at Boca 

Helping Hands with their parents, Jett and Luke organized their 

first cereal drive for BHH at their school in 2016 when they were 

just eight years old. The boys have since expanded the program 


COPYRIGHTED 

to 15 schools in Palm Beach County as well as schools in Arizona, 

California, Connecticut, Nevada, New York, and Washington to 

benefit their own local food banks. 

“The box of cereal you donate will fill somebody’s empty bowl,” 

Luke Justin said. “Their day will get off to a better start because 

of you.”

Honoring Delray Beach Civil Rights Icon 

Yvonne Lee Odom 

Last month, the City Commission honored the legacy of local 

civil rights icon, Yvonne Lee Odom, by proclaiming August 8th as 

“Back to School Day” in our city, in recognition of her work to end 

segregation in public schools. Her journey as a trailblazer started 

when she was a high school student. On September 28, 1961, then 

15-year-old Odom became the first Black student to walk through 

the doors of Seacrest High School in Delray Beach. 

The “Back to School Day” proclamation in her honor seeks to 

continue Odom’s work by encouraging all residents, schools, businesses, 

and community organizations to join in recognizing the 

need for safe, equitable, and inclusive educational opportunities 

for students. 

Odom is truly a pillar in our community, having served as a 

teacher for 45 years and as a community activist. She is also the 

grandmother of tennis pro Coco Gauff. To learn more about Yvonne

LABOR DAY 

The History 

Behind 

This All 

American 

Holiday 

The labor holiday is 

more than BBQs 

and time to stop 

wearing white 

clothing. 

COPYRIGHTED 


Labor Day is the unofficial end to the summer season. 

Up north the leaves begin to turn, here – our 

seasonal residents return, and the temperatures 

cools a bit. Labor Day is always celebrated on the first 

Monday of September. This year, Labor Day is September 

4, 2023. 

Why do we celebrate Labor Day? 

The idea of Labor Day emerged in the late 19th century 

out of the organized labor movements. In September 

1882, unions in New York decided to throw themselves 

a parade to celebrate unions as a concept and 

the hard-working people comprising them. 

Even though workers had to give up a day’s pay to 

attend, more than 20,000 people showed up to the parade. 

It was a celebration of historic proportions. 

Soon, unions in other states started having September 

parades, and within five years, several states declared 

“Labor Day” official state holidays. In 1894, 12 

years after the first labor parade in New York, President 

Grover Cleveland signed an act establishing Labor 

Day as a federal holiday on the first Monday of every 

September. 

How do we celebrate Labor Day now? 

While some towns still have Labor Day parades similar 

to the original Labor Day festivities of the 19th century, 

the general focus of the holiday has shifted more 

toward celebrating the end of summer. Cookouts and 

pool parties are much more in favor now than marching 

bands and union speeches. And Labor Day is usually 

a busy time for travel. 

Still, the original spirit of honoring the work force remains, 

and Labor Day is a paid holiday for most American 

workers. According to the U.S. Travel Association, 

more than half of all working Americans don’t use all 

of their paid vacation days. In a country that works so 

much, having a day off is an ideal way to celebrate and 

recharge for the fall. That, and amazing sales! 

When do Labor Day sales start? 

Another tradition of Labor Day in America is the 

discounts! Labor Day is on Monday, September 5, but 

Labor Day sales usually start the weekend before and, 

in some cases, up to a week in advance. If you’re in the 

market for something large like a kitchen appliance, a 

washer/dryer, or a mattress, Labor Day is an excellent 

time to go shopping because big ticket items often get 

the most notable discounts around this time of year. 

Can you wear white after Labor Day? 

Wearing white after Labor Day has long been considered 

a fashion faux pas. However, no one is certain 

where the rule “you cannot wear white after Labor 

Day” came from. 

Some fashion historians say it was pure classist snobbery 

— a social more set in place by the American nouveau 

riche as a way to easily denote who was wealthy 

and who wasn’t, because people with less money could 

not afford seasonal clothes. Others say that not wearing 

white after Labor Day simply came about because 

Labor Day marked the end of summer and white was 

traditionally thought of as summer-wear. As the weather 

turned colder, people began to favor darker clothing, 

like gray sweaters and dark navy suits. 

Over time this trend became fashion tradition. Despite 

what fashionistas might say, it’s not a hard and 

fast rule. Fashion icon Coco Chanel wore white yearround, 

so there’s no reason not to wear your favorite 

white clothes anytime you please!

8 Great Places to Visit 

in the UK, After London 

By linda brown 

If you’re planning a trip to the UK, chances are you’re heading to London, 

but maybe no further. The buzzing metropolis draws millions of visitors 

every year, and many people feel it offers all they could want. But the UK 

is packed with other amazing places beyond London, each unique in some 

special way, so make sure you don’t miss out. Here are eight highlights 

around the country, for starters: 

1. Cornwall & Devon 

These two counties are in the southwest of England and are 

one of Britain’s most popular tourist areas. Offering such variety 

with their long sandy beaches, inlets, moorland, hills 

and valleys. The North Atlantic coastline is popular with surfers 

and the hiking is great! The South Coast Path is a 630-mile hiking 

trail and follows this most dramatic of English coasts, round Land’s 

End and the Lizard point, respectively the most westerly and most 

southerly points in England. 


2. Elegant Bath 

The graceful, little city of Bath makes a refreshing antidote to 

London. Take a stroll around the famous Royal Crescent, visit 

the historic Roman Baths and sip the curative spring water 

in the elegant, old Pump Room. You can do your gift shopping in 

the tiny stalls that adorn the river bridge. Stay until nightfall and 

witness the magical floodlights - there’s a fairytale element to Bath.

3, The Cotswolds 

A 

little further north, you will encounter the rolling farmland 

of the Cotswolds, where the quaint, little stone cottages and 

Norman churches will take you back through the centuries.

Stop off in a sleepy, old village, such as Bibury, and walk around the 

amazingly preserved Roman villa near Chedworth. You’ll find plenty 

of classy eating places and craft shops in this charming, “olde 

worlde” region. 

4. The Welsh mining valleys 

There’s a harsh side to British history alongside the fairytale 

one, and you’ll feel it in the old mining valleys of South Wales. 

Drive over the stark mountains and view the rows of workers’ 

cottages, now painted in bright colors. Take the elevator down 

The Big Pit and learn how tough life used to be for the coalminers. 

Then you could step even further back through history with a roam 

around Caerphilly Castle - but mind those spooky, spiral staircases. 

5. Vibrant Manchester 

Visit the beating heart of the north of England. You’ll feel the 

buzz of Manchester life as soon as you arrive. Take a tram 

ride around town and check out the latest events at the 

many theatres and concert halls. You’ll find plenty of stand-up comedy 

and other fun shows in Manchester, and plenty of sport, too, as 

well as top-notch culture. 

6. The Lake District 

Around the coastline from Manchester, you will find the romantic, 

hidden world of The Lake District. Climb the dramatic 

mountains and take a boat trip around beautiful Lake Windermere, 

the largest of the sixteen gleaming waters. Then you can ride 

through the magical scenery on a splendid, vintage steam train. 

7. Historic Edinburgh 

Venture over the rugged border of Scotland - scene of many 

a historic battle - and head north to Edinburgh for another 

great experience. With the imposing castle on its great rock 

and bagpipe music in the air, you will know you’ve arrived. How 

about donning a kilt and joining in a Scottish dance reel? You would 

certainly deserve a stick of delicious “Edinburgh Rock” after that.

8. York and the Yorkshire Dales 

As you head back south to London, drop in on the ancient city 

of York. Step inside the resplendent York Minster, browse 

the little shops in the old Shambles district, then join an after-dark 

ghost-walk around the twisty, cobbled streets. Take a drive 

over Yorkshire’s wild moors and pretty dales, and make sure you 

try all the local cakes, pies, and ales on your way through. 

There are plenty more special places to see while you’re over in 

Britain, not just in these parts but across the water in Ireland, too. 

Browse the sightseeing websites and ask fellow travelers for their 

recommendations. There is something for everyone in the UK. 


Joycelyn Patrick 

regulars | city people 

If you were to make up a story about a young girl who 

grew up to embody God’s commandments, you would 

need more than 10 to describe Joycelyn Patrick. 

by diane feen | Photo by Olen Whiteley 

A Rarified World of Life, Love 

and Commitment To Delray Beach 

The born and bred Delray Beach native flows 

easily through life determined to make a difference. 

Her head knows what is going on, and 

her heart is the translucent wrapping paper that ties 

it all together. 

If you haven’t heard the name Joycelyn Patrick 

there’s a good reason. Her deeds do not make headlines 

in the paper, not does she announce her accomplishments 

with press releases or mailings. 

Instead, Patrick navigates the streets of Delray 

Beach (and non-profit organizations) as a fine weaver 

would a tapestry of gold. Her Southern charm invites 

you in, and her bold dynamic determination assures 

you that things will get done just as they should. 

Patrick was raised by parents (and grandparents) 

who imbibed good citizenship, hard work and an altruistic 

underpinning to help others. 

That legacy is the meaning and motion of her life. 

She has lived in the same house that she grew up in 

and remembers when Delray Beach was a tiny dot on 

the huge terrain of South Florida. 

“I was born and raised at a time when people in 

Delray were close, compassionate and cared for each 

other. There was also a strong sense of community.” 

That sense of community (and compassion for 

neighbors) may not be the overriding creed in our 

modern world, but to Patrick it is everything. That’s 

the reason this retired businesswoman has her stakes 

in the ground where they matter most. 

She is the President of the GFWC Woman’s Club 

of Delray Beach, the oldest charitable organization 

in the city. The club, established in 1902, donates to 

non-profit organizations that help women and youth 

in the city. They recently created little libraries called 

“Books in the Park.” 

Patrick admits that she likes to break the glass 

ceiling in her own way. And break it she does. She is 

the first black president of the GFWC Woman’s Club 

of Delray. 

She also got a proclamation for the 121-year-old 

woman’s club that she felt deserved recognition. On 

August 16th, 2022 the GFWC Woman’s Club of Delray 

Beach received a proclamation from the mayor and 

the City Commission. 

As Maya Angelou has said, “If you don’t know where 

you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going.” 

For Patrick these words are the GPS imprint of 

her life. Her Delray Beach history is her legacy and 

her joy. It’s engraved on her heart and is the headlight 

for her merger with greatness. 

“One of the reasons I’m so involved is because I 

believe it’s important to maintain that sense of community 

I grew up with in Delray. It is also my civic 

duty to give back to the community that has given 

me so much.” 

Patrick is a woman of her word. 

She is the Moderator of the Trustee Council (and 

parishioner) at the Church of the Palms in Delray 

Beach. She has participated in the “Delray Reads” initiative 

since its inception, and assists the 2nd graders 

a few days a week at S.D. Spady Elementary School. 

Spady is where she, her siblings, and her children 

attended. It is also where her beloved eight-year-old 

granddaughter Xandria goes now. 

Patrick, who believes that literacy is of utmost importance, 

is on the board of the educational non-profit 

Roots and Wings. She was on the Healthier Delray 

Steering Committee and Governance Board, and was 

President of the Delray Beach Sunrise Rotary Club. 

Patrick also served on the city’s Planning and Zoning 

Board and was President of the West Atlantic Avenue 

Redevelopment Coalition. 

She has also been on the planning committee 

of the Delray Beach Police Department’s National 

Night Out event. 

Despite all the activities and newness that surrounds 

Delray Beach, Patrick delights in the small 

town she grew up in. “Delray was always a quaint 

quiet town. Then, all of a sudden… boom…everything 

is busy and there are people everywhere.” 

But Patrick doesn’t keep this treasure to herself. 

She invites others to join her. Cheryl Haywood is one 

of them. 

“I moved to Delray in 2014 and Joycelyn took me 

under her wing. She has become a trusted friend and 

mentor. I can talk to her about anything without judgment. 

I’m blessed to have her in my life.” 

Nonjudgement and giving without strings is only 

part of the Patrick family creed. Her mother took food 

and clothing to families in need in Delray Beach and 

their daughter follows precisely in their footprints. 

Her father Charles owned the La France Hotel ( a

It is my civic duty 

to give back to the 

community that 

has given me so 

much. 

haven for those barred from other hotels) and her mother 

Gertrude owned a barbershop in town. Her grandmother 

also had an entrepreneurial spirit and sold baked goods. 

Her mother was an exemplary role model that Patrick extols 

to this day. “My mother was loving and non-judgmental. 

She made sure we all felt loved and taken care of. You could 

feel that love; it was in her cooking and our house.” 

You could say the same thing about Patrick. She loves 

to cook and everyone looks up to her with admiration 

and respect. Her reputation is one of kindness and capability, 

boldness and bravery. 

“Joycelyn is a volunteer leader that takes to heart what 

the mission of the organization is. She is unflappable, dependable 

and committed. She’s also a very pleasant person 

and a good leader,” said Joyce Warner of the Woman’s Club. 

If you mention the name Joycelyn Patrick you will hear 

adjectives and admiration for her sturdiness and selflessness. 

And, her faith. 

“Joycelyn finds time to raise her grand baby, runs a viable 

nonprofit organization, remains very active in her 

church, attends every event you invite her to, and still advocates 

for residents in her community. I call her the unofficial 

mayor of Delray Beach. She is a leader who has her 

pulse on the community,” said C. Ron Allen of KOP Mentoring 

Network. 

Reverand Todd Petty, Pastor of Church of the Palms Delray 

Beach also has a front row seat to the wonders of this 

tall commanding woman who glides through life with a 

smile and a plan. 

“I admire Joycelyn for many reasons, as a leader in our 

church and the community. I also admire her for being an 

outstanding grandmother.” 

Petty is also impressed with Patrick’s leadership role, 

her intuitiveness, patience and kindness. “She knows everybody. 

When I moved here people said she could be 

mayor, she’s so well known.” 

You bet she is. 

“I have lived in my childhood home my entire life. I am 

called, ‘the bird who never left the nest.’ I went to Spady 

Elementary School, Delray Junior High and Atlantic High 

School.” 

That extended nest includes her eight siblings, four children 

and seven grandchildren. One of the lights of her life 

is her youngest grandchild Xandria, who she takes to museums 

and educational venues near and far. 

Patrick is quite vocal about enjoying the company of 

‘good people doing good things.’ She wears bold colorful 

glasses, and moves her hands around as if she was conducting 

a symphony when she talks. Yet you can feel her 

steady yet calm demeanor and the gentility of her history. 

There is no need to worry about losing the rich history 

of Delray Beach Community when Patrick is around. Her 

elegance, strength and purpose has added gravitas to everything 

she touches. 

Ted Hoskinson, founder of Roots and Wings agrees. 

“Joycelyn lights up any room she walks into, and exudes 

honesty and transparency. You know exactly where 

she stands! Her love for this City is obvious and her love 

of education and our schools is obvious! Her love of living 

life to the fullest is obvious!”

September is National 

Fruit and Vegetable Month! 

Let’s have fun with creative ways to prepare some 

of our local fresh produce! Head on over to our local 

GreenMarket and pick up fresh fruits and veggies! 

Corn! Grill it, steam it, 

boil it, eat it on the cob: 

Nothing beats fresh corn. 

Butter Boiled Corn 

Ingredients: 

6-8 ears of corn, shucked 

1 stick of butter 

1 Cup of milk 

Salt to taste - optional 

Directions: 

Fill a large pot about halfway with water. Bring 

water to a boil. Add milk and butter. Add corn 

and reduce heat. Simmer corn for 6 to 8 minutes 

Remove corn from cooking liquid and its ready 

to serve. 


Corn Spoon Bread 

Ingredients: 

3 cups whole milk 

2 cups fresh corn kernels or one 10-ounce package 

frozen corn, thawed 

3/4 cup finely ground cornmeal 

2 tblspoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish 

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 

1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

2 large eggs, lightly beaten 

Directions: 

Heat oven to 350° F. 

In a large saucepan, over medium heat, bring 2 

cups of the milk and the corn to a boil. 

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 

milk and the cornmeal. Whisking constantly, 

slowly add the mixture to the boiling milk. Reduce 

heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently, 

for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter, 

thyme, salt, pepper, and eggs. 

Transfer to a buttered casserole or cast-iron skillet. 

Bake until golden and set, about 30 minutes. 

Serve warm or at room temperature. 

Cauliflower is an often 

over looked vegetable. 

But no more! Try these 

two ways to prepare 

broccoli’s cousin. 

Spicy Whole 

Roasted 

Cauliflower 

COPYRIGHTED

Ingredients: 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil 

1 head cauliflower 

1½ cups plain Greek yogurt 

1 lime, zested and juiced 

2 tablespoons chili powder 

1 tablespoon cumin 

1 tablespoon garlic powder 

1 teaspoon curry powder 

2 teaspoons kosher salt 

1 teaspoon black pepper 

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a 

small baking sheet with vegetable oil. Set aside. 

Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any 

green leaves and the woody stem. 

In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the 

lime zest and juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic 

powder, curry powder, salt and pepper. 

Dunk the cauliflower into the bowl and use a 

brush or your hands to smear the marinade evenly 

over its surface. (Excess marinade can be stored 

in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up 

to three days and used with meat, fish or other 

veggies.) 

Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking 

sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly 

browned, 30 to 40 minutes. The marinade will 

make a crust on the surface of the cauliflower. 

Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes before 

cutting it into.

Simmer, stirring frequently until berries burst 

and mixture begins to thicken - about 5-8 minutes; 

let cool. 

Divide one pint of ice cream among 4 bowls evenly 

and top with sauce. Garnish with mint. 

Lemons are one of my 

favorite fruits! I use it in 

vineagrettes, drinks, and 

desserts. Here’s one of 

my favorite ways to enjoy 

this sweet tart fruit. 

Lemon Garlic Pasta 

Add in cooked chicken, shrimp, or steamed broccoli 

for a complete meal! 

Ingredients: 

1 lb angel hair spaghetti 

4 large garlic cloves, minced

until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water and 

drain pasta in a colander. 

While pasta is boiling, cook garlic and red pepper 

flakes (to taste) in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet 

over moderate heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, 

about 5 minutes. Stir in zest, then juice, salt,

bring to a simmer. 

Toss pasta in sauce with parsley. (Add more cooking 

water if pasta seems dry.)

Are My Pet’s Hormones Balanced? 

Hormones and minerals are essential building blocks for a 

healthier body. We hear about hormone issues in humans 

daily and see the plethora of drugs that are marketed for 

these issues. Your pets suffer from these same issues for a number 

of reasons that are sometimes caused by veterinarian recommended 

treatments and procedures. Are you surprised? 

To understand the issues that are created, we can start with disease, 

physical issues and behavior. Any time one’s hormones are out of balance, 

it cascades into all levels of mineral imbalances which we understand 

affects the whole body of all creatures including humans. The 

total endocrine system is affected by a single deficiency or imbalance. 

Let’s first look at the procedures that affect the hormone imbalance. 

We are led to believe that unless we “fix” our pets, they “will suffer 

and die from various cancers”. Nothing is further from the truth. 

Removing those organs causes the whole endocrine system to work 

harder to compensate for the missing body parts. Hence, as young as 

sometimes only months old, the pets’ body is already out of balance, 

challenged and damaged when it is in the process of developing and 

properly growing. This can cause physical deformities that challenge 

this growing body. It is true that you won’t get prostrate or uterine 

cancer if they are removed, Hypothetically, what if we removed the 

lungs in order to prevent lung cancer? This is not a good reason to do 

any of these procedures. They have lifelong consequences including 

thyroid issues. 

So now let’s look at the overwhelming number of chemical interventions 

as well. Vaccines, worming, preventative treatments, preservatives, 

flavors, synthetical hormones, vitamins, minerals and other 

supplements that are recommended by the poly-pharma medical industry. 

ALL of these products influence the overall health and balance 

of our pets. If a single exposure to any of these can influence the body, 

what is the result of this plethora of assaults that start at the beginning 

of this pets’ life. 

Over time, we can handle some of these vaccines, the worming, preventative 

treatments, preservatives, flavors, synthetical hormones, vitamins, 

minerals and other supplements contaminations of the body 

with specific detoxification foods and processes. It does take time because 

we need the body to replace the contaminated cells with new, 

healthy cells. We know different cells grow at various times and rates 

so we must be patient. 

We have quite a different challenge whenever we remove any body 

part for any reason. The systems of the body must and do have to alter 

normal function to compensate for the missing parts. It is amazing 

that the living body is able to even do this! 

To answer, we have whole food solutions that can support the body 

and the organs challenged to fight this bodily assault. We have both 

real food and herbal food solutions that can support your pet or in 

dealing with these challenges, Our message is available here, and 

through our store but also at the Pet Health Café on iHeart.com and

Rise of the Underdog: 

Study Reveals Remarkable Shift 

Towards Adoption Of Shelter Dogs 

Over Purebred Purchases in Florida 

In the past, the sight of purebred dogs like Dachshunds, Boston 

Terriers, and French Bulldogs was common in American neighborhoods. 

However, recently a notable shift in consumers’ preferences has steered 

away from these purebreds despite their previous popularity. 

For some, the exorbitant cost of purebred dogs, which can 

reach up to $10,000 for breeds such as Rottweilers and Chow 

Chows, is a considerable deterrent. For others, the concern is 

over health issues commonly associated with 

purebreds. English Bulldogs and Pugs, for 

instance, are often plagued with respiratory 

problems. Also, many individuals also 

feel a moral obligation to provide homes to 

shelter dogs. 

Bone Voyage Dog Rescue recently conducted 

a study revealing a significant shift towards adopting 

shelter dogs over purchasing purebreds from 

breeders. A survey of 3,000 potential dog owners 

in Florida revealed that an impressive 45% of them 

expressed an intent to adopt from shelters, marking 

a 5% swing towards possible shelter dog ownership 

when contrasted with older data from the 

Humane Society of the United States, which indicated 

that 40% of pet dogs in households were 

previously shelter dogs. 

“This increasing trend towards shelter 

dog adoption promises substantial improvements 

in the welfare of homeless 

animals. The shift could lead to a decrease 

in the number of dogs in shelters, 

as more are adopted,” says Annette 

Thompson, Executive Director 

of Bone Voyage Dog Rescue, when 

commenting on the study. 

The rising trend of shelter dog 

adoption holds considerable potential 

for improving animal welfare 

in the US. This shift could have 

multi-faceted benefits, creating a 

ripple effect that extends beyond the 

lives of the individual dogs adopted. 

Decreasing the number of dogs residing in shelters is a primary 

benefit. With more dogs finding homes, the overall population 

in shelters would shrink. Consequently, shelters would have 

more resources available per animal, including space, 

staff attention, and medical care. This shift 

would result in better living conditions 

for the remaining animals while reducing 

the strain on shelter resources. 

Secondly, an increase 

in the adoption of shelter 

dogs could influence the 

supply-demand dynamics 

of the pet industry. If consumers 

choose adoption over 

purchasing from breeders, it 

might discourage unethical breeding practices, 

including those prevalent in puppy 

mills. This change would further contribute 

to enhancing animal welfare on a larger 

scale. 

Finally, each adopted dog’s individual 

quality of life would likely see significant 

improvements. Home environments 

typically offer more space, 

personal attention, and stability than 

shelters. Adopted dogs receive consistent 

care, training, and socialization 

opportunities, leading to better 

physical health and behavioral outcomes. 

This transformation enriches 

the adopted dog’s life and can bring 

immeasurable joy and companionship 

to the family adopting.
