FROM THE 

EDITOR 

GIVE 

THANKS THIS 

NOVEMBER!! 

This year has gone by so fast. It seems like only yesterday we 

were thinking about the kids finishing school for the summer 

and here we are honoring our veterans on the eleventh hour of 

the eleventh day of the eleventh month. 

Veterans Day is a time to honor all of those who have served the country 

in war or peace, for their love of country, patriotism, and to Thank them for 

the sacrifices they made, all for the common good. 

We also celebrate Thanksgiving Day on Thursday November 23rd. A 

time for us to give Thanks for the blessings of the past year. When family 

and friends gather to enjoy a turkey dinner and apple, or pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream or ice cream, 

(sounds yummy!) Then add to the mix, football, which is as much a part of the holiday as the meal. 

You could also ‘rise and shine’ nice and early and join in a tradition here in Delray Beach, the 37th annual Delray 

Beach Turkey Trot 5K on Saturday November 18, 2023, at Anchor Park. You won’t regret it. You’ll set yourself up for the 

day and experience one of the most scenic 5K routes in the United States. Now you won’t feel guilty when you overindulge 

on dinner on the 23rd. It’s a win – win!! 

We must also give Thanks to have two very special people in our community. Virginia and Harvey Kimmel. Their 

generosity and support of so many programs in our city is mind-blowing. Read all about our ‘City People’ in this issue. 

We have so much to Thank the Delray Beach Police Department for and the one thing you could do to show your 

Thanks is to volunteer! Becoming a volunteer, you will be made to feel wanted and needed and you will be treated as 

part of the Police Department family. Read on to find out how you can volunteer and make a difference to our city! 

Finally, I would like to say Thank you to you, our readers. You are 

fabulous and we are so grateful for your continued support. 

We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

The Symphonia Partners with

Outreach Program 

Virginia and Harvey Kimmel String Orchestra and 

Self-Esteem Program 

The SYMPHONIA, South Florida’s premier chamber orchestra, 

has announced an exciting partnership with Milagro Center in 

Delray Beach to serve as the new home for the orchestra’s youth 

outreach program, Virginia and Harvey Kimmel String Orchestra 

and Self-Esteem Program. 

Celebrating its 7th year, Virginia and Harvey Kimmel String Orchestra 

and Self-Esteem Program was conceived to provide children 

from underserved families with the opportunity to learn to play 

a string instrument (violin, viola, cello or bass) while developing 

self-esteem through positive instruction and encouragement. The 

program’s initiative has deep roots in the notion of social justice 

and inclusion. The Symphonia was determined to create a free and 

substantive program that would bring music into the lives of children 

who would not otherwise, but deserve to, have access to such 

an opportunity.

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 November for $50 or less. 

DELRAY IS GOING TO THE DOGS 

Who let the dogs out? Hopefully no one! Dogs are important 

family members and deserve to be loved and respected. 

If you are needing a four-legged family member in your 

life or are looking to add another four-legged family member to 

the bunch, Pets’ Broward has you covered. November is Adopt a 

Senior Pet Month and even if you’re looking for a pet who needs 

calm and casual love, or a pet who needs any and all love, the Delray 

Is Going to the Dogs event is for you. Everyone - including dogs! 

- is welcome to attend this festive and free Third Annual Pooches 

& Presents in the Park event that supports animals in need. Attendees 

can expect to meet adoptable dogs looking for a “furever” 

home, enjoy tasty treats for people and pups, take pictures with 

Santa, and even start your holiday shopping. There are fun activities 

for kids and dogs, as well as an Air K9Z dog frisbee show at 1 

p.m. and 3 p.m. If you’re feeling festive, decorate the pups in their 

“cutest holiday attire” for chances to win prizes. The festival is held 

Sunday, November 5 from 12 to 4 p.m. at Old School Square, 51 N. 

Swinton Ave. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call 

(561) 243-1077 for more information. 


30TH ANNUAL ART AND CRAFT SHOW 

Love the idea of arts 

and crafts but don’t 

know where to start? 

No problem! There are people 

who love the art of crafting 

and are happy to give 

you handmade goods without 

the need for you to even 

pick up a single glue gun or pair of scissors. November is National 

Entrepreneurship Month and you’re invited to join the Southern 

Handcraft members for their Southern Handcraft Society’s 30th 

Annual Art and Craft Show. This show is the largest, most incredible, 

longest running, indoor art show in Delray Beach, and features 

one-of-a-kind works of art from local crafters and artists. 

You’ll find amazing holiday items along with jewelry, cards, shell 

art, gourds, wood, headbands, local honey, and so much more. 

What makes this show so unique is that the members are open to 

sharing new techniques, classes and workshops with each other, 

as well as future members! The Society was founded in 1985 

and has grown to six chapters. Anyone interested in crafting and 

friendship is welcome to join. The Show is held Thursday, November 

16 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, November 17 from 9 

a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, November 18 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 

the Vintage Gym of Old School Square, 51 N. Swinton Ave. Admission 

is free. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call

100-FOOT CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING 

Didn’t it just feel like we wrapped up our holiday decorations? 

Regardless, it’s time to get those boxes down from 

the attic and pour the eggnog because it’s officially holi-

day season! November is Family Stories Month and that is exactly 

what the holidays are all about: making new memories with family 

and friends. One of the biggest events of the year for Downtown 

Delray is the lighting of our famous 100-foot Christmas 

Tree. Held Tuesday, November 28 from 6 to 9 p.m., the lighting 

and Yuletide Fair is Delray’s official kick-off to the seasonal festivities. 

You and everyone you know are welcome to experience 

the Holiday Village, where even in the sunshine there is a feeling 

of a Winter Wonderland. This event features not only the tree 

lighting but also food vendors, family-friendly activities, musical 

performances, carousel rides, ice skating and more. If you’ve yet 

to attend this event, or are a tree lighting veteran, it’s important 

to get there early so you don’t miss Santa arriving and lighting 

the tree. It’s a magical experience that you and a few thousand of 

your community members won’t forget. There will be festivities 

from the end of November and throughout December, so make 

sure you check the complete calendar of events by visiting www. 

downtowndelraybeach.com or calling (561) 243-1077. The event 

is held at Old School Square, 51 N. Swinton Ave. 

37TH ANNUAL DELRAY BEACH TURKEY TROT 5K 

Looking for a way to spread gratitude 

or feel the gratitude? Then 

lace up the racing shoes because 

it’s time to hit the pavement. November 

is National Gratitude Month and while 

the holidays are a great time for many, 

it’s a sad time for others, especially 

those who suffer from food insecurity. 

The 37th Annual Delray Beach Turkey 

Trot 5K is the answer to have fun, spend time with friends and 

family, burn a few calories in anticipation of Thanksgiving, and 

- most importantly - help support families in need. It could quite 

possibly be one of the most enjoyable runs around because the 

race is held along one of the most scenic 5K routes in the nation. 

Think about it, most people are battling snowy sidewalks in November, 

but you get to pleasantly jog in sunny, warm-ish weather 

along A1A. What could be better than that! The hub of the event 

is located at Anchor Park, 340 S. Ocean Blvd. where the festivities 

and start/finish line are located. Held Saturday, November 18, 

registration and packet pickup begins at 6:30 a.m., music and entertainment 

begins at 7 a.m., the race begins at 7:30 a.m. and the 

awards ceremony is held at 8:45 a.m. Registration for adults is 

$35 and $20 for young teens and children. Each participant will 

receive a commemorative personalized race bib, event shirt and 

customized finisher medal. Please visit https://victorysportsmgt. 

com/dbtt5k/ for more information and to register. 

FRANKLIN DELRAY BEACH PICKLEBALL CLASSIC 

What’s the best part about riding solo? Deciding when 

and where you’d like a partner. Space isn’t just for the 

planets, people… it’s for each and every one of us! If 

you’re looking to spice up your singles or doubles game, the Delray 

Beach Tennis Center has you covered. November is National 

Personal Space Day and if you’re cool with your party of one, or 

want to introduce another player to the game, then the Franklin 

Delray Beach Pickleball Classic is screaming your name. What is 

now a super popular sport (and not just for your grandparents), 

pickleball has been gaining momentum for years. Registration is 

$50 per person, and this is a payout event, so in addition to being 

able to “play your match, walk to the beach to cool down,” you 

could win some sweet mula. Ability levels include 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 

4.5, 5.0, with an age division based on registration. The events 

being on Thursday, November 30 with Senior (60+) Men’s and

NOVEMBER 3RD 

► Priscilla 

When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, 

the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar 

becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a 

thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a gentle best friend. Through 

Priscilla’s eyes, Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American 

myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, 

from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, 

in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, 

and fame. Priscilla is both written and directed by acclaimed 

American filmmaker Sofia Coppola, director of the movies The 

Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Somewhere, 

The Bling Ring, The Beguiled, and On the Rocks. 

► What Happens Later - Directed by Meg Ryan 

Two ex lovers, Bill (David Duchovny) and Willa (Meg Ryan) 

get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely 

delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find 

themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they 

did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual 

past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they 

begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something 

more enchanted. What Happens Later is directed by American 

actress turned filmmaker Meg Ryan, making her second feature 

film after directing Ithaca (2015) previously. 


NOVEMBER 10TH

of them -- a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic 

Sessa) -- and with the school’s head cook, who just lost a son in 

Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph). The Holdovers is directed by the 

acclaimed American writer / filmmaker Alexander Payne 

► The Marvels 

Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed 

her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on 

the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol 

shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When she

her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan, 

Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now 

S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this 

unlikely trio must team-up and learn to work in concert to save 

the universe as “The Marvels.” The Marvels is directed by acclaimed 

American filmmaker Nia DaCosta. The full cast includes Samuel L. 

Jackson as Nick Fury, Zawe Ashton, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh,

on a harrowing and emotional journey to reunite the other brothers 

and rescue Floyd from a fate even worse than pop-culture obscurity.

Return to The Hunger Games, the landmark film franchise that has

Suzanne Collins’ bestseller The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Years 

before he would become the tyrannical President of Panem, 18-yearold 

Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) is the last hope for his fading 

lineage, a once-proud family that has fallen from grace in a post-war 

Capitol. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the 

young Snow is alarmed when he is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray 

Baird (Rachel Zegler), the girl tribute from impoverished District 12. 

But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly 

singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to 

turn the odds in their favor. Uniting their instincts for showmanship 

and newfound political savvy, Snow & Lucy Gray’s race against time 

to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird, and who is a

Hell If We Don’t 

Change Our Ways: A 

Memoir 

BY BRITTANY MEANS 

If success is measured by the difficulties 

in our lives that we must overcome, 

then Brittany Means should get the gold. 

As a child of a nomadic, unstable mother, 

Means survives on her wit and her 

mother’s co-dependent love affair with 

her children. 

But, as often is the case with unstable 

adults, Means’ mother would disappear 

into thin air with assorted suitors and 

come back as if nothing happened. 

Means was often left with her grandparents 

and had to adjust to a bible belt 

worship of the lord, while Mean’s real love 

affair was simply watching TV. 

In this riveting true story, we witness 

(with shock and awe) how a child could 

survive abuse, neglect, violence, and instability 

yet triumph as an adult. 

With no money and little support, Brittany 

took care of her younger brother, 

managed the instability of her home life, 

and tried to make sense of the troublesome 

world around her. 

As a young adult, Means struggled with 

some of the same issues that plagued her 

mother. But the ultimate triumph was her 

realization that she could alter the cycle of 

violence she witnessed as a child. 

Means’ crafts stories that are too sad to 

be real yet actually happened. Sometimes, 

her prose is funny and sad simultaneously, 

while other times, it is colorful and statuesque, 

like an offbeat artists’ creation. 

This true tale of self-preservation has a 

unique narrative style that is part memoir 

and part coming-of-age tale. The result 

has been called “a masterpiece, a marvel, 

and a sparkling example of a woman’s 

ability to withstand the most horrific experiences 

― and still thrive.” 

And she has. 

The Great Weather 

Diviner 

BY ROB LONG, WHO IS THE DEPUTY 

VICE-MAYOR OF DELRAY BEACH! 

Embark on an epic journey in this reinterpretation 

of the legendary Punxsutawney 

Phil folktale in this Redwall-inspired 

conservation fantasy in The Great 

Weather Diviner: The Untold Origin of 

Punxsutawney Phil (Morgan James Fiction, 

Nov 7, 2023), a perfect story for young 

readers and for Groundhog’s Day! A young 

groundhog and his hedgehog best friend 

search for a way to save his town from 

natural disaster in this playful and thoughtprovoking 

middle-grade fantasy by debut 

authors Andrew Dolberg and Rob Long. 

A native Punxsutawney, Rob Long has 

grown up with the tales of Punxsutawney 

Phil’s origins. With a background in conserving 

his local beaches and wetlands, 

he educates the next generation on the 

importance of environmental protection 

and climate change. Alongside his writing 

partner, Andrew Dolberg, the duo creates a 

lavish forest world where a young weatherpredicting 

groundhog journeys off to save 

his home from a devastating flood only to 

discover the truth behind his family’s power 

and the nefarious plot by the evil raven 

overlord combining the heroic animal adventures 

of ‘Redwall” with “The Mouse.

Wild Florida 

BY KIRSTEN HINES 

t is rare to find a dedicated biologist 

“Iand conservationist who is also a pas-

sionate and accomplished photographer. Kirsten Hines 

is among the best in each of those arenas… In Wild Florida, 

Kirsten Hines helps to teach us about the wonders 

of Florida’s wildlife in hopes that we will better understand 

it and, in turn, come to love it and protect it for 

future generations.” 

—Ron Magill, Emmy Award-winning wildlife expert 

and communications director, Zoo Miami 

Florida is widely known for its alligators, panthers, 

pythons, and pesky mosquitoes, but did you know it also 

has crocodiles, bears, scarlet-striped snakes, and more 

species of fireflies than any other state? How about a 

tiny lizard that swims through central Florida’s ancient 

dunes, a red widow spider that hides in palmettos, or 

that wild flamingos, common two centuries ago, are 

slowly reappearing. In her latest book, wildlife photographer 

and writer Kirsten Hines takes audiences on her 

three-year journey into Florida’s wilds to explore its impressive 

array of animals. 

Build the Life You Want: 

The Art and Science of 

Getting Happier 

BY ARTHUR C. BROOKS, OPRAH WINFREY 

In Build the Life You Want, Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah 

Winfrey invite you to begin a journey toward greater 

happiness no matter how challenging your circumstances. 

Drawing on cutting-edge science and their years of 

helping people translate ideas into action, they show you 

how to improve your life right now instead of waiting for 

the outside world to change. 

With insight, compassion, and hope, Brooks and Winfrey 

reveal how the tools of emotional self-management 

can change your life―immediately. They recommend 

practical, research-based practices to build the four pillars 

of happiness: family, friendship, work, and faith. 

Along the way, they share hard-earned wisdom from 

their own lives and careers, as well as the witness of 

regular people whose lives are joyful despite setbacks 

and hardship. 

Equipped with the tools of emotional self-management 

and ready to build your four pillars, you can take 

control of your present and future rather than hoping 

and waiting for your circumstances to improve. Build the 

Life You Want is your blueprint for a better life.

Navigating Auto Accidents 

THE ROLE OF CHIROPRACTIC NON-SURGICAL 

DECOMPRESSION THERAPY 

Auto accidents can have a profound impact on one’s physical and 

mental well-being. From minor fender benders to severe collisions, the 

aftermath of such incidents often leads to various injuries, with back 

and spine-related issues being prevalent. In these situations, chiropractic 

care, particularly non-surgical decompression therapy, emerges as 

a valuable and effective solution for promoting healing and recovery. 

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF AUTO ACCIDENTS 

Auto accidents can cause a range of injuries, including whiplash, 

herniated discs, and other spine-related problems. These injuries 

can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and a diminished quality 

of life. Traditional treatments often involve pain medications and, 

in severe cases, surgical interventions. However, chiropractic care 

offers a non-invasive, drug-free alternative focusing on the body’s 

natural healing abilities. 

CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH TO AUTO ACCIDENT INJURIES 

Chiropractors assess the patient’s condition through thorough 

examinations and diagnostic tests. Chiropractors often recommend 

non-surgical decompression therapy for individuals suffering from 

auto accident injuries. This innovative approach involves gentle 

stretching of the spine using a traction table or similar device. By 

creating negative pressure within the disc, decompression therapy 

promotes the retraction or repositioning of herniated or bulging 

discs, relieving pressure on nerves and reducing pain. One of the 

significant advantages of non-surgical decompression therapy is 

its non-invasive nature. Unlike surgery, it doesn’t involve incisions, 


anesthesia, or lengthy recovery periods. Patients can often resume 

their daily activities shortly after each session. Additionally, decompression 

therapy addresses the root cause of the pain by facilitating 

the body’s natural healing process, rather than merely masking the 

symptoms with medications. 

Chiropractic care goes beyond symptom management. Chiropractors 

emphasize the importance of overall well-being, incorporating 

lifestyle changes, exercise, and nutritional advice into their treatment 

plans. By addressing the physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors 

contributing to pain and discomfort, chiropractic care provides a 

holistic approach to healing, ensuring long-term relief and improved 

quality of life for patients recovering from auto accident injuries. 

Real Stories, Real Results and Countless patients have attested 

to the effectiveness of chiropractic non-surgical decompression 

therapy in their recovery journeys. From regaining mobility to experiencing 

significant pain reduction, these testimonials underscore 

the transformative impact of this non-invasive treatment approach. 

Real-life success stories serve as powerful evidence of chiropractic 

care’s efficacy in treating auto accident-related injuries. 

In conclusion, a path to healing in the Aftermath of Auto Accidents 

and seeking the right treatment is crucial for a full and speedy recovery. 

Chiropractic non-surgical decompression therapy offers 

hope for individuals dealing with back and spine-related injuries. By 

embracing this natural, patient-centered approach, individuals can 

navigate the challenges posed by auto accidents, reclaim their lives, 

and embark on a journey toward healing and well-being.

6 Common Fitness Mistakes 

You are working out right and eating well - but you’re having a hard time 

really seeing tangible results. Maybe it’s time to take a closer look at your 

fitness regimen to see where you might be going wrong. 

Here are 6 common mistakes I see clients making in their fitness journey. 

1. BLAMING BETTYS 

I hear this quite often, “Oh so and so has amazing genetics” or, “I’ll 

always be this way because I have a slow metabolism.” Where sometimes 

this is true, most often it is not the true case. There are very 

few genetic or common hormone issues that most can’t be overcome 

with the right help. It might just take a little extra work and research 

on your part to find a program that works for you. People usually use 

this as an excuse to slack when in reality they’re just not willing to 

put in the work and rather “blame” it on something that they see as 

a legit excuse. With the right type of professional guidance, nutrition, 

determination, and of course patience, it’s possible to overcome genetics 

and hormone issues and get the results you are really 

looking for. 

2. LAZY LESLIES 

If you’re not really pushing yourself each workout, 

your results are going to be lackluster. You 

pretty much get out of it what you put in to it. 

If you quit 2 seconds after that burn sets in, 

you’re giving up too early. It’s not necessarily 

no pain no gain, but it is definitely 

no burn no gain! Don’t be so quick to throw 

that dumbbell down when the going gets 

tough. I always tell my clients to think about 

their goal when they’re ready to give up and 

that laziness is NOT an injury! Most of the 

time our minds quit before our bodies do. 

Really push yourself and you might be 

surprised with the results that come. 

3. DISTRACTED DIANAS 

Finding yourself gazing out the window 

thinking about anything else than 

your workout? Then maybe it’s time 

to switch things up and try a new class 

or workout program. I’m not saying 

your workout should always be a total 

boatload of fun but you should somewhat 

enjoy it or at the very least LOVE the way 

you feel when you’re done. If your workout is 

totally boring you, it’s time to move on. How 

can you expect results out of something you 

totally dread? 

4. SCARED SUSIES 

Ok, this is probably no surprise but to create a change you need 

the right resistance. I know there are some trainers and fitness gurus 

out there that swear by lifting pencils, but my personal opinion is the 

heavier the better. Within safe guidelines of course! Unless you’re 

taking steroids or your diet is in huge surplus of junk you are not going 

to look like a man. I’ve transformed hundreds of women to prove 

lifting heavy produces ah-mazing results! 

5. CARDIO CARLYS 

While cardio definitely has its time and place, I see too many 

people skipping the weights and becoming cardio crazed. Yes, 

certain types of cardio help aid in fat loss but you will not 

maximize your results with cardio alone. The best shaped 

bodies (in my opinion) come from the perfect mix of resistance 

training with high intensity cardio. The days of 

long bouts of boring cardio are over! Thank goodness! 

6. IMPATIENT INGRIDS 

All too often I see people give up way too early 

on in the game because they’re not exactly where 

they want to be! Fitness takes time! Whether it 

takes 3 months or 1 year, that’s ok! Everyone 

is on their own time frame and results will 

come differently for each person. Each time I 

came back post-pregnancy I would work for 

months and months with little to no change, 

then all of a sudden the weight would just fall 

off and everything would come into play. You 

might be just like me! So, give it time. One of 

the hardest parts about fitness is to keep going 

when the results are slow. Usually, clients 

are just on the verge of seeing results when 

they quit. Have patience and just keep going! 

It takes months for the average person to really 

start seeing serious changes, so just be 

consistent and stick with it.

their brain health, thanks to SAS’s groundbreaking protocols. 

Participate in a Live Auction for exquisite holiday season 

gifts and experiences! 

SAS is an innovative program, newly introduced to South Florida, 

designed to help veterans suffering from traumatic brain injury 

(TBI) and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) recover their brain 

health. The SAS initiative is committed to showcasing and developing 

holistic, proven approaches to effectively treat and rehabilitate 

veterans, aiming to gather sufficient funds to begin treatment 

for one hundred deserving veterans over the next 24 months. 

The SAS Program, established under IBRF, seeks to accelerate 

development in brain cures by supporting state-of-the-art translational 

clinical research. With a strong Steering Committee, including 

Dr. Phillip DeFina, a pioneer in neuroscience, and other 

experts deeply connected to military and veteran communities, 

the program aims to bring revolutionary changes in the treatment 

of brain injuries and dysfunctions among veterans. 

This is a significant step towards addressing the long-standing 

effects of war on combat veterans, providing them with the tools 

to empower themselves and reclaim their place in society. Help 

us make a difference by supporting SAS in changing the lives of 

thousands of veterans suffering from brain wounds and offering 

new hope and recovery to them and their families. One of our 

Army veterans, Elizabeth Joy (Collatura-Rosenberg) who flew helicopters 

and was released from service in 2011 as a Major says: 

“Returning to society after serving multiple combat tours in the 

Army was more of a challenge than I had anticipated. The invisible 

wounds of war persisted in creating chaos in my new civilian 

life and I knew that I needed the best care available. That’s when 

I found Dr. DeFina and the “Save A Soldier Project”. Dr. DeFina is 

not only an Army Veteran, but also a Clinical Neuroscientist who 

has developed a program for veterans with traumatic brain injury 

(TBI) and post-traumatic stress (PTS) under the wing of the 

International Brain Research Foundation. Thankfully, I was selected 

to undergo their month-long Biohacking Brain Boot Camp. 

It has given me a new start and fresh hope for the future.” 

Another SAS Alum, former Navy Corpsman, Peter Ahearn said: 

“There are programs that treat you, but this program actually heals 

you. I am nobody special, but I have been given something special.”

JADI AUTO RECON 

Make Sure Your Car Is Road 

Ready From Top To Bottom 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTOS BY MELISSA KORMAN 

Jonathan Augusto was born to be in the car 

business. His father raced cars and inspired 

young Jonathan to change a tire in three minutes. 

COPYRIGHTED 

That was a long time ago. But Augusto has been a car guy ever 

since then. Call it happenstance or family breeding, but the 

young man who could change a tire at lightning speed now 

owns a full collision auto shop who does body work on domestic 

and exotic cars. 

Called Jadi Auto Recon this full collision shop also does custom 

painting, reconditioning, interior repairs, bumper refinishing, 

headlight Restoration and more. 

Their reputation supersedes conventional wisdom and is the 

reason the shop has grown from from 800 square-feet to 8000. 

That doesn’t surprise Gary Weston of Delray Beach. The car 

collector has been taking his beloved cars to Jadi Auto Recon for 

the past 10 years. 


And, this man knows a lot about cars. He owned a car wash in 

Delray Beach and was a car dealer in New York. He also brings his 

Bentley (and his 11 other cars) to Augusto to fix dents, scratches or 

paint touch ups. 

“I send a lot of people to Jonathan and have never heard one single 

complaint. He is always there and he can do anything. It is very 

difficult to paint cars today. They have a base coat that makes it very 

hard to match the color. Jonathan gets it perfect every time. He really 

does great work. I bring him all my cars,” said Weston. 

Steve of Delray Beach is equally impressed – not only with 

Augusto’s work ethic and talent, but with this humanity and humility. 

“I had a wonderful experience with Jadi Auto Body. Jonathan went 

above and beyond to help my aunt and myself with her car repairs. It

was in a fender bender which required towing. He was very kind and 

patient with her and her concerns. He not only had the car towed to 

his shop, but he drove my aunt home.” 

Steve was impressed with their follow up and constant updates 

about the car. “Upon completion, Jonathan drove the car to her 

residence. They were Fast! Accurate! And, the workmanship was 

excellent and the service second to none.” 

A few weeks later Steve had some concerns and Augusto told 

him to bring the car back. “In two hours he called me back and 

assured me he had checked and repaired it at no charge. I highly 

recommend them.” 

After 28 years in the business Augusto has gained a loyal following. 

There is a good reason. He is a man on a mission. 

“I have always loved cars. When I was young, I wanted the 

challenge of fixing something. Now that I am a little older, I like to 

help my customers get their cars looking good and working well.” 

With cars so scare those are magic words. With the lack (and high 

price) of new and used cars, people want to keep their cars longer 

and preserve their beauty. That’s one reason Augusto sees so many 

people bringing in their cars for reconditioning. 

“I brought my BMW in for an estimate. Jonathan was professional 

and honest. I scheduled my car to be fixed and he had it done on time. 

It looks better than it did brand new!” 

There is other news at Jadi Auto Recon. 

Jonathon Grant Augusto (Jonathan Jr.), who worked with his father 

in the car business, has enlisted in the Navy. “My son will be in a 

submarine in the navy because he wants to serve his country.” 

Jonathon Sr.’s wife Toni has also made cars her life’s work and 

passion. She works at Napleton, a very large group of dealerships, 

and is a director of Service, Parts and the Bodyshop. “We both share a 

passion for cars and I am so proud of the excellent work that Jonathan 

does. We go to races together and we enjoy our life, and our work.” 

Augusto has done such a great job repairing and refreshing cars 

that he works on domestic and exotic cars for large Auto Dealerships. 

He also devised ways to keep cars looking good despite the South 

Florida terrain. “We have a ceramic coating we put on cars to keep 

them shiny. The beach salt air can erode the metal of your car, we 

have an undercoating that keeps it rust free for quite a while.” 

Jadi also paints fiberglass boats with the same perfectionism. “I 

send my boats to Delray because of the quality of work and painting 

at Jadi. They are old school in their craftsmanship. Jonathan knows 

how to fix what other people have to replace.” 

If your car needs detailing, collision work, painting, reconditioning 

(or anything else) call and make an appointment. They also take all 

insurance. 

They look forward to meeting you and making your car sparkle.

PARAGON THEATERS AND PENNY LANES 

WHAT’S THERE TO DO IN DELRAY BEACH? 

Movies, Bowling, Arcade Games… 

Food And More At Paragon 

Theaters And Penny Lanes 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTOS COURTESY OF PARAGON THEATERS AND PENNY LANES 

Owners Michael Whalen and Michael Wilson understand 

that people want to enjoy their spare time (and vacation) 

to the max. They also know that going to the movies – or 

bowling – should be a luxurious yet comfortable experience. 


But, the past few years people have been enjoying themselves 

with premium TV and movies channels while indulging in 

gourmet meals at home. As for bowling, it was something 

everyone had on hold for a while. 

But life has sprung back into action, and Whalen and Wilson 

knew they had to up their game to get people excited to go out to 

the movies and bowl a few games. They also knew that everyone 

has a kid inside of them just waiting to get out. That’s why they enhanced 

this sensory explosion of goodies to include sophisticated 

arcade games, augmented reality bowling and the latest in movie 

viewing technology. 

To call Paragon Theaters luxurious is an understatement. Being 

inside one of their 12 theaters at Delray Marketplace is like reaching 

for - and attaining - nirvana. The exclusive Lux Box VIP Dine- 

In seats are luxurious, have private heated reclining seats, and are 

separated from general admission seats. They’re called the ‘best 

seats in the house,’ because they provide privacy with a bit of VIP 

celebrity styling. They also have retractable tray tables with QR 

codes that give you the option to have upscale dine-in service before 

and during the film. 

You can dine with ease (while watching the film) with food delivered 

directly from their restaurant and bar, The Agency Kitchen & 

Bar. All you do is scan a QR code from your mobile phone and the server 

knows exactly where to bring your food or drinks. You can order 

during the pre-show or anytime during the film with no interruptions. 

There is more to this luxury movie experience that will excite 

your senses and calm you down from anything life throws at you. 

They have a huge IMAX screen (the only one in Palm Beach County) 

with upgraded Laser Projection and a new sound system that rivals 

that of premium concerts. As a matter of fact, this is one of the only 

dine-in IMAX locations in the country. 

Paragon Theaters is also home to a state-of-the-art movie screen 

known as the Axis15 Extreme. This screen – that’s wall-to-wall – 

has a 15-degree tilt that gives the viewer the luxury of relaxation 

and entertainment. It also has Dolby Atmos® immersive sound, 4k 

Laser Projection, and features their exclusive Lux Box VIP Dine-In 

Seating privacy. 

If you’re looking for a more active form of entertainment, try 

their technology-driven bowling center, Penny Lanes. This digital 

bowling experience is not what you ever thought bowling would be. 

There are 16 lanes that take the digital age and combine it with the 

game to create a sensory extravaganza. 

COPYRIGHTED

You get the comfort of a luxury bowling suite with plush leather 

lounges and big screen TVs. It also features Sync Gamified Bowling; 

interactive games and scoring themes that are colorful and 

tech-driven to engage your senses and your skill. 

An added perk is their Spark augmented reality VIP bowling. 

This dynamic ball - lane interaction has colorful displays and animations 

projected onto the lane that follows your ball as it rolls. 

This vibrant interactive background will create any mood you 

seek. The augmented-reality bowling experience is so exciting it’s 

best to reserve a lane in advance (online) to guarantee you get a 

space. Don’t forget, all Penny Lanes guests can order food and 

have it brought to your lane while bowling. 

To round out this ‘ultimate entertainment destination’ is a 

full-scale Penny Lanes Arcade. If you think that games are for 

kids, think again. There are over 40 arcade games with video 

and scoring components that will thrill you, and your kids. All 

you need is one refillable Arcade Game Card and you can play 

all day and redeem tickets. There are virtual reality games and 

redemption games. 

They even have the latest video game craze, Playbox, a multiplayer 

digital video game (for up to 5 players at a time). It has 

a 16’ long digital screen with 6 to 8 rotating games. It has been 

called the modern-day digital version of a Carnival Midway Game. 

Amidst all the activity (within Penny Lanes) is a terrific restaurant 

and bar called The Agency Kitchen & Bar. The food is excellent 

and they have a seasonal menu of local handcrafted food and 

drinks. There is a full selection of craft beer, assorted wines from 

local wineries, breweries and unique cocktails. There are also 

hand-tossed pizzas, street tacos and unique appetizers. 

Included in this food fare are football and sporting menu’s, 

rotating seasonal menu’s, indoor and outdoor seating, and bar 

seating. There are also different screens in the restaurant so you 

can watch sporting events and games. But remember, you have 

the luxury of ordering food from your Lux Box VIP Dine-In movie 

Seats or Penny Lanes Seating. 

“Paragon Theaters is the gold standard in movie-going with 

innovative Lux Box VIP Dine-in Seating, Axis15 Extreme tilted 

screens and IMAX with Laser projection and Dolby Atmos immersive 

sound. Mike and Mike have successfully built a ‘customer-first’ 

entertainment company with a diverse portfolio of excitement for 

the whole family,” says Jared Comess, VP of Marketing at Paragon. 

Paragon Theaters and Penny Lanes are also wonderful for celebrations 

of all kinds, whether personal or business. You can create 

your own games and menus to fit the occasion. 

Come and join in on the fun! Every day is a holiday at Paragon 

Theaters and Penny Lanes.

lanes. And look for seasonal specials at all venues.

CRANE’S BEACH HOUSE BOUTIQUE HOTEL & LUXURY VILLAS 

Another Season, 

Another Reason 

BY CARLI BRINKMAN | PHOTOS BY ANNE PODLECKI 

Sure, that first winter snowfall can be dreamy, but it’s 

pretty much downhill from there as the temperatures 

drop and the ice and slush wreak havoc on our daily lives. 

Fortunately, the holiday season can be just as magical without 

enduring biting cold winds, shoveling the driveaway, and 

de-icing the windshield, when you head south to Florida for 

a Coastal Christmas Wonderland escape. And there are few places 

that get into the beachy holiday spirit quite like Delray Beach and 

the charming home-away-from-home paradise of Crane’s Beach 

House Boutique Hotel & Luxury Villas. 

Every year, Crane’s Beach House decks out its lush tropical 

courtyard, meandering paths, and open-air tiki lounge with 

coastal holiday décor, bringing to life the region’s seasonal charm 

that, for many of us, carry just as many cherished memories and 

traditions as the customary winter holiday experience. What’s 

more, Crane’s one-bedroom suites and villas are ideally suited for 

times when you’re traveling, but still want to feel right at home. 

The apartment-style rooms each feature fully-equipped kitchens, 

a dining table, a living room and bedroom, and some also contain 

a patio or balcony. When you want to get away for the holiday season, 

but still enjoy the comforts of home, there’s no better place to 

stay than at Crane’s Beach House. 

COPYRIGHTED 


The Coastal Wonderland doesn’t end at Crane’s. Just steps away 

down Atlantic Avenue, Downtown Delray Beach’s famous 100-ft 

Christmas tree and Holiday Village capture the spirit of the season 

from just after Thanksgiving, through New Year’s Eve. Visitors and 

residents alike can come together any night during this time to admire 

the tree, shop among local merchants and dine at Delray food 

and drink vendors. Also along Atlantic Avenue during the holiday 

season, visitors can experience the annual Holiday Street Parade, 

the Holiday Boat Parade, and the annual tree lighting, the annual 

menorah lighting, the Jingle Bell Jog 5k, and to wrap it up, the New 

Year’s Eve Fireworks. 

With so many reasons to come and experience the holidays in 

Delray Beach, Crane’s is making it that much more enticing with 

unseasonably low rates that make the property the most affordable 

way to experience luxury in the market this holiday. And if that’s not 

tempting enough, Crane’s will be announcing a limited-time Black 

Friday – Cyber Monday offer that can be booked online only during 

this brief time period (November 24 – 27, 2023) with the booking 

code CYBER. Interested future guests should follow Crane’s on 

Instagram (_cranesbeachhouse) or sign up for our e-newsletter via 

our website to ensure you don’t miss the details of Black Friday – 

Cyber Monday offer. 

Known as the “hidden gem” of Delray Beach on Florida’s Southeast 

coast, Crane’s Beach House Boutique Hotel & Luxury Villas is a 

scenic property, barely visible from the street, tucked away behind 

gates within a tropical courtyard of meandering, lush landscaping, 

and 28 bungalow-style suites and villas. Crane’s secluded and enchanting 

property contains two intimate palm-shaded pools, communal 

seating areas with fire pits, and a hanging hammock under 

a large tiki hut. From the hotel, guests can stroll east just one block 

and be on Delray’s Atlantic Ocean beach, and just one block north 

and be walking along the exciting downtown strip of Atlantic Avenue 

where they’ll find hundreds of restaurants and boutique shops. 

In addition to winning the prestigious #LOVEDBYGUESTS Award 

from Hotels.com, Crane’s has been admitted to the TripAdvisor® 

Hall of Fame and to the prestigious Expedia Insiders Select List of 

“the world’s best hotels,” as judged by the experience of Expedia® 

travelers. In 2023, Crane’s earned Booking.com’s Traveller Review 

Award; in 2021, placed Gold in Travel Weekly’s prestigious Magellan 

Award; and in 2020, earned Tripadvisor’s Traveler’s Choice 

Award.

She earned her Physician Assistant Degree and Master 

of Science from Cornell University. Jennifer has a 

particular expertise in dermoscopy, a non-invasive 

technique, which uses a combination of magnification 

and light to detect skin cancer early and prevent 

unnecessary surgical procedures or biopsies. While 

at Memorial Sloan Kettering, she worked alongside 

international leaders in the dermatology and dermoscopy 

field. 

“I joined Siperstein Dermatology Group because I loved how 

they prioritize the patient experience, making sure that each patient 

is provided with the best care and outcome possible. It is a 

place where patients are not just a number. They are truly treated 

like family. I immediately knew that people genuinely like to work 

there. With a culture that always puts the patient first, I continue 

to be amazed at how the practice continues to grow by investing 

in the latest technology and providing state-of-the-art procedures 

and services to our community,” said Jennifer. 

She brings her advanced training and clinical experience working 

with patients with dysplastic nevus syndrome, melanoma, basal 

cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other complex skin 

cancers, in addition to those with a history of radiation therapy and 

chemotherapy. She also enjoys engaging in clinical research to keep 

current with advances in the field. 

Siperstein Dermatology offers DermaGraphix Mole Mapping 

with AI Technology, which Jennifer is highly trained in using from 

her time at Memorial Sloan Kettering. DermaGraphix mole mapping 

and tracking analysis uses a high-resolution camera, advanced 

software, and whole-body photography to map a patient’s entire 

skin surface, creating a photographic baseline of his/her moles. At 

follow up visits, artificial intelligence is then utilized to accurately 

identify any change in the size, color and shape of lesions, as well as 

document any new lesions. 

DermaGraphix is the most innovative mole mapping system 

available, and it allows Jen to spot new moles more easily as well 

as track changes in patients’ existing moles, which is one of the 

possible early signs of melanoma. In addition, this system has an 

attached dermatoscope, which allows her to visualize and photograph 

individual moles using magnification and polarized light to 

better detect subtle changes in these moles and patterns that could 

be consistent with melanoma. Siperstein Dermatology Group is the 

only private practice in Florida to have DermaGraphix with Artificial 

Intelligence Technology, and they offer this option to patients at 

both offices in Boynton Beach and Boca Raton. 

“In an effort to help all of our patients who are at high or low 

COPYRIGHTED

isk of developing melanoma, we’ve invested in the DermaGraphix 

Mole Mapping with Artificial Intelligence Tracking Analysis, which 

allows for the earlier detection and treatment of melanoma and 

helps to minimize unnecessary biopsies,” said Dr. Elizabeth Nestor. 

“DermaGraphix is a total body photography system that we utilized 

regularly in our high risk pigmented lesion clinic at Memorial 

Sloan Kettering. It was most helpful in detecting new moles and 

early changes in existing moles for those patients with numerous 

moles or personal history of melanoma. Artificial Intelligence 

Tracking Analysis is like having another set of eyes examine your 

moles, and I always say the more eyes the better. I feel so fortunate 

that we are able to offer this amazing technology to our patients in 

South Florida,” said Jennifer. 

Jennifer is committed to providing the highest quality patientcentered 

care. She brings her warm personality and gentle approach 

to patients of all ages and diverse backgrounds. She is 

skilled in all aspects of medical and surgical dermatology, including 

a particular passion for and expertise in skin cancer prevention, 

diagnosis, and treatment. She encourages all patients to undergo 

annual total body skin exams. 

When you choose Siperstein Dermatology, you’re being cared for 

by professionals who are qualified, experienced and caring. Their 

goal is to make your experience as positive, helpful, and informative 

as possible. When you visit the office, you are treated with the 

dignity, respect, and professionalism you deserve. Their knowledgeable 

staff is dedicated to providing you with accurate information 

and communicating effectively so that you are well-informed. 

If you have concerns about developing melanoma, have a mole 

that is worrying you, or would just like a thorough full body skin 

exam, Siperstein Dermatology Group is here to help. Please schedule 

an appointment today so that they can address your concerns 

and provide you with the best skincare options.

BY LISA MARIE 

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to celebrate the harvest and to 

give thanks for your blessings of the past year. It is also a great 

opportunity to give back to your community. There are several 

ways to achieve this and it is not all about giving money. 

VOLUNTEER 

For some folks, they have more time than money, so 

volunteering may be an effective and viable way of giving back to 

the community. Consider places you already spend a lot of time 

at, such as your child’s school or your congregation, a local nonprofit, 

homeless shelter, animal shelter, etc. Your time is valuable 

and gifting it can make a world of difference in the lives of many. 

The non-profits in your area would be thankful and grateful for 

the helping hand. 

TURKEY TROT 

A Turkey Trot is a footrace usually held on or around 

Thanksgiving Day and is fast becoming one of our Thanksgiving 

traditions along with the bird itself. So why not gather the family 

and participate in the 5K walk/run which will burn enough 

calories for that extra piece of Grandma’s pie. 

THANKSGIVING BASKET 

A hands-on way to help create Thanksgiving dinner for families 

struggling in your town. Invite family, friends and colleagues 

(e.g. at work, place of worship or social club) 

to do the same and then search the web 

for your nearest food pantry to 

drop off your baskets. Below is a 

sample list of things to include: - 

1 canned ham or cooked ham 

2 cans of Green Beans 

2 cans of Yams 

1 Bag of Marshmallows 

Brown Sugar 

2 cans of Corn 

1 can Cranberry Sauce 

1 box or bag of Stuffing Mix 

COPYRIGHTED 

68 | NOVEMBER 2023 2020 | WWW.ATLANTICAVEMAGAZINE.COM

1 box Instant Mashed Potatoes 

(or) 1 box Scalloped or Au Gratin Potatoes 

1 box of Corn Bread mix 

2 boxes Macaroni and Cheese 

1 Non-Perishable Dessert (e.g. pumpkin pie filling, cake mix) 

Holiday Napkins and plates! 

DONATING 

Go through your closet and I’m sure you will find some 

clothes, shoes, purses or belts that could be donated to your local 

organization. Consider donating your old cellphone, home accents, 

books, food or furniture. This simple act of kindness could be 

lifechanging and make an immediate difference to those in need. 

MAKE TIME FOR KIDS 

Whether it’s your own children, kids at your place of worship 

or neighborhood kids, taking the time to make them feel special 

is priceless. It might be playing a board game together, reading 

them a book, taking them to the local park or buying them lunch. 

It could even be as simple as listening to what they have to say. 

PARTICIPATE IN CHARITIES AND FUNDRAISERS 

Finding a cause that you are passionate about will give you 

great motivation to assist an existing event or even create a new 

fundraising or charity event. Why not have a yard sale for charity, 

hold a golf tournament or start a Walkathon. These provide donors 

with a healthy option to support your cause. Plus, they usually 

take place within a community, which means you can involve 

local businesses and supporters. Did you know that you can raise 

money by inviting your friends out to eat? When you collaborate 

with a local restaurant, you can raise a portion of the night’s 

proceeds for your cause. And partnering with a restaurant isn’t as 

difficult as you might think. Designing and selling t-shirts is a great 

fundraising idea that both individuals and organizations can use to 

raise money. A t-shirt fundraiser is a win-win situation for everyone 

involved: the campaign creator gets to raise money and promote 

their cause via merchandise, and supporters get a memorable item 

in return for their donations. Sometimes volunteering, donating, 

and raising funds are the most effective and easiest if you join with 

others who have already dug the trenches to set up a program. 

There’s often no reason to reinvent when you can add your time 

and resources to local organizations who have gained positive 

reputations in the community. Non-profits are in abundance; you 

just need to search on the web for your local area. 

RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS 

Volunteering your time and energy can help strengthen your 

neighborhood with simple gestures of kindness. Lending a helping 

hand to a neighbor who is juggling handfuls of groceries or 

moving a piece of furniture is a generous act that leaves a lasting 

impression. Helping an elderly neighbor with their lawn or grocery 

shopping will make you feel good. Random acts of kindness can 

make the most significant impact on someone else. Send ‘good 

morning’ messages, compliment a complete stranger, hold the 

door for someone, pick up litter at the beach or make dinner for a 

family in need. Start today and make somebody’s day better! 

COPYRIGHTED 

PHILANTHROPY 

Sometimes it is easier for you, and the community organization 

around you, to give cash donations instead of in-kind gifts. 

Financial philanthropy is a great way for local businesses to get 

and stay involved in the community. Choosing an organization 

and giving a percentage or portion of proceeds each month is 

both good for PR and the community.

TRAVEL 

The Unbelievable 

U.S. Virgin Islands!!! 

BY LISA MARIE 

1,100 miles away lies an American tropical getaway. 

The Virgin Islands of the United States, formerly 

the Danish West Indies were sold to the U.S. by 

Denmark in 1916. They are currently an organized, 

unincorporated United States territory in the 

Caribbean, therefore requiring no passport to travel. 


The islands consist of three main islands: Saint Croix, Saint 

John, and Saint Thomas, along with many other surrounding 

smaller islands. Traveling to St. Thomas or St. Croix is 

not as expensive as you might think. Spirit Airlines offer direct 

flights from Ft. Lauderdale to St. Thomas or American Airlines 

from Miami. 

With a steady temperature averaging 80 degrees and white 

sandy beaches on turquoise blue water, the USVI are a place not 

to be missed. Each of the islands is unique. St. Thomas is the most 

cosmopolitan of the three, giving the feeling that it’s the largest; 

it’s not, St. Croix is, although it is the territorial capital and port 

of Charlotte Amalie. St. Thomas offers its visitors a huge array of 

attractions from churches, museums, classic island architecture 

and shopping. Their ethnic diversity offers diners an array of eating 

experiences to bring those taste buds alive. Accommodation 

selection is vast too. You can choose from 5 star all-inclusive hotels 

like The Ritz-Carlton to colorful and picturesque Bed & Breakfast’s 

such as At Home in the Tropics. 

Now let us island hop to St John. From Red Hook, St. Thomas it 

is a short 15-20 minute ferry ride and from Charlotte Amalie will 

take around 45 minutes. If you hired a car while on St. Thomas 

you can take one of the car barges traveling from Red Hook to 

Cruz Bay, St. John. For more information on ferry times and prices 

visit www.vinow.com/stjohn/getting_there/. 

St. John is the smallest of the three islands and nearly twothirds 

of it is a national park. There you can take a 2- or 3-hour 

National Park guided tour to experience this paradise of sub-tropical 

forests, hundreds of species of plants, including bay rum trees 

and orchids and lots of tropical birds. If a guided tour is not for 

you, visit www.stjohnusvi.com for all the information needed to 

check out this island on your own. St. John is also renowned as 

a ‘reader’s paradise’ with its spectacular secluded beaches, turquoise 

waters, colorful coral and tropical fish. Even though this is 

the smallest island there is still a vast array of accommodations to 

choose from. Luxury resorts, condos, cottages, guest houses and 

the world’s leading eco-resorts and campgrounds. 

Now we are heading to St. Croix, the largest of the USVI. Unfortunately, 

there are no ferries offered to St. Croix from either 

St. Thomas or St. John. The best option is to fly from St. Thomas 

round trip on www.seaborneairlines.co. The island is only 22.7 

miles long and 8 miles at its widest point, but the landscape is 

surprisingly diverse. The two main towns are Christiansted, renowned 

for its historic yellow buildings, architecture, cobbled 

streets and history, and Frederiksted, the smaller of the two. You 

could see all that St. Croix has to offer in a day trip or you could 

stay a few days and relax on their gorgeous beaches, play a game 

of golf, indulge in some glorious water sports or try your luck at 

the casino! For further information on the ‘Unbelievable Virgin 

Islands’ check out www.vinow.com and gather all the knowledge 

you need on where to stay, where to eat and what to do.

Virginia and Harvey Kimmel 

REGULARS | CITY PEOPLE 

If you met Harvey and Virginia Kimmel, you would 

think they were like most retirees living in Palm 

Beach County. They enjoy traveling, spending 

time with friends and attending cultural events. 

But, that is where the great divide is dispelled. 

When not doing earthly ventures or watching 

Virginia make jewelry or cook a gourmet meal, 

there is a lot to be said. 

Others do most of the talking about the Kimmels. It 

is not, however, the standard banter of gossip or scandal, 

it is the truest form of humanity – one of philanthropy 

and honor. 

When you meet the Kimmels you learn that philanthropy 

to them is not merely the act of writing a check. 

Anyone can do that, if provided the means. On the 

contrary, the Kimmels have made helping others their 

main crusade. 

They started doing this 30 years ago in Philadelphia 

and Michigan and have continued their philanthropic 

prowess in Palm Beach County. It is in Delray that they 

have spread their philanthropic wings to include cultural, 

educational and leadership programs for children 

and teens. 

Like many retirees who put down stakes in Delray 

Beach, the Kimmels fell in love with the little town that 

could. They adore the cultural aspects of Delray, and 

the quaint small- town vibe that includes big town 

thinkers and creators. 

The reason for their generosity (to give grants and 

funds to over 30 different non-profits and colleges) is 

compassion and life experiences. 

Virginia’s father passed away when she was three 

years old and was raised (with four other siblings) by 

her mother Anna. She couldn’t do many of the things 

her classmates were doing because there weren’t 

funds to support it. Instead of piano lessons, Virginia 

took voice lessons. “I didn’t need a piano this way,” said 

Virginia, who was raised in Chicago and has a creative 

side that rivals Martha Stewart. 

Harvey, who grew up in Philadelphia, came from 

humble beginnings as well. He had to work his way 

through college and missed out on cultural events or 

classes for financial reasons. 

But all that is behind them. What is left is the indelible 

mark of two people who have realized that to give 

is better than to receive. “Non-profits are our love. It is 

what our life is about,” said Harvey, who is the yin to 

Virginia’s yang. 

Their daughter Sara sums up the patriarch of the 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTO BY MELISSA KORMAN 

Giving As An Art Form 

family this way, “My father is such a friendly guy my 

friends call him the mayor. When he walks into a room 

he knows half the people and within minutes he knows 

the other half.” 

Sara is now walking in the footsteps of her parents. 

The former Harvard psychologist is now doing nonprofit 

work in Boston and is taking on some of the Kimmel 

Family Fund responsibilities. 

Though her parents say she is taking over the Fund, 

Sara is a little more circumspect than her parents. “I 

have taken over general operation of the Virginia and 

Harvey Kimmel Family Fund, but my parents are still 

very involved and passionate about giving.” 

Sara is correct. The different community opportunities 

that open up for those with golden hearts (and the 

means to heal and support growth) continue to grow 

in Palm Beach County. 

And, if you know the Kimmel’s, you know they don’t 

talk as much as they do. Their intentions reverberate 

around Palm Beach County like hummingbirds on 

rechargeable batteries. They have meetings with potential 

leaders of causes that range from helping children 

of police officers to starting cultural and musical 

programs for underserved children. They also support 

the police department and gave a grant to hire a social 

worker to help those without homes and at-risk. 

To create a globe of their giving, one would have to 

expand the realm of possibilities to its infinite form. 

They support the Delray Citizens for Delray Police 

Scholarship program for children of officers in the Delray 

Police Department. The co-founder, Perry DonFrancisco 

has an aerial view of the Kimmel’s selfless giving. 

“The Kimmels are first ballot Hall of Famers in the 

Delray Beach Philanthropy Hall of Fame. They make a 

tremendous impact on the quality of life for many diverse 

groups. Their remarkable proactive generosity is 

a gift that benefits all residents of Delray Beach.” 

You bet they do. They started the Kimmel Leadership 

Academy at Palm Beach State College in Boca. The 

program has been an amazing success. It has changed 

students’ lives and garnered them a sense of place 

within the world, themselves, and their peers. 

But the giving doesn’t stop there. At the Milagro 

Center they created the Virginia and Harvey Kimmel 

Milagro Junior Teen Center. This provides funding for 

COPYRIGHTED 


the center’s musical instruction program, We Read to Succeed program, 

and the Rising Stars Scholarship Fund. 

The Arts Garage has also benefited from the Kimmel’s generosity. 

They support their summer theatre camp for children where they 

learn and perform theater and dance. The CEO, Marjorie Waldo, is 

also in awe of the Kimmel legacy. 

“The Kimmels are so incredibly passionate about their community, 

the arts, young people, education and much more. Because of their 

generosity and dedication to providing access to the Arts to all people, 

Arts Garage has been able to serve nearly 150 children and teenagers. 

They believed in Arts Garage, and in me, in the midst of our turnaround. 

Their support has been unwavering.” 

The Kimmels also support The Symphonia’s after-school program, 

“Strings and Self Esteem,” which provides music lessons to children 

who have never seen or played musical instruments. 

The Kimmel’s generosity is overflowing and strategic, yet magical. 

They support programs at the CityHouse, Delray Beach Public Library, 

Delray Beach Police Community Outreach Team, Eat Better Live Better, 

EJS Project, Roots and Wings, Sandoway Discovery Center, Saint 

Matthew’s Episcopal Church, CROS Ministries, Community Greening, 

Delray Beach Initiative to End Homelessness and more. 

The Kimmels love of life and its centrifugal force has been the 

underpinning of their graciousness. Both Harvey and Virginia are 

passionate about the arts and want others to be exposed to its 

ethereal wonder. Virginia is a culinary wizard and avid gardener 

so it makes sense they would add culinary arts to their SouthTech 

Arts Academy. 

Though the Kimmels are revered in the community for their selfless 

giving, they don’t shine a spotlight on themselves. Instead, they 

see the true heroes as those who work in the non-profits. Last month 

they hosted a party to celebrate and honor them. 

“We wanted to pay tribute to the people who work at the non-profits. 

They are the ones who deserve the applause. We wanted a night 

where they could enjoy a show, great food and a celebration. They are 

the stars in our mind,” said Sara. 

The Kimmel’s are also stars in a constellation made up of good 

people doing great things for others. They support future leaders, seniors, 

children and friends looking for a hand to lean on, if only until 

they can walk on their own. They want to share what life has to offer – 

because they too have known the great chasm of haves and have nots. 

“Working with these non-profits feels fabulous. The results are why 

we do it. Giving is what life is all about,” said Harvey.

DINING | RESTAURANT REVIEW 

BY DIANE FEEN | PHOTOS BY MELISSA KORMAN 

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.”

DINING | THANKSGIVING 

BY YVETTE ROULETTE 

Thanksgiving is one of my 

favorite holidays of the year. 

It encompasses for most, 

three All American “Fs”: Food, 

Football, and Family. Some 

Thanksgiving dinners are fancy 

and elaborate, with recipes 

straight out of Bon Appétit, 

while others are more simple 

and basic with family recipes 

that have been passed down 

through generations. This 

Thanksgiving I will share some 

of my favorite, crowd pleasing, 

fool proof, traditional recipes. 


A Simple 

Traditional 

Thanksgiving 

TENDER JUICY TURKEY 

1 15 lb turkey - giblets and neck removed 

2 Tbsp each of dried parsley, ground 

dried rosemary, rubbed dried sage, 

dried thyme leaves 

1 Tbsp lemon pepper 

1 Tbsp salt 

2 Stalks of celery, chopped 

1 Orange cut in wedges 

1 Onion chopped 

1 Carrot chopped 

1 14.5 oz Can of chicken broth 

1 Bottle of champagne 

(or ginger ale, or coke) 

*If prepared ahead, marinate the 

turkey in the fridge the day before 

for even more tender juiciness! 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Line a turkey roster with long sheets 

of foil that will be long enough to 

wrap the turkey loosely. 

TENDER JUICY TURKEY 

2. Stir together the parsley, rosemary, 

sage, thyme, lemon pepper 

and salt in a small bowl. Rub the 

mixture in the cavity of the turkey 

and over and under the skin 

of the turkey. Stuff the turkey with 

the celery, onion, orange, and carrot. 

Truss, if desired and place the 

turkey in the roasting pan. Pour 

the broth and champagne over the 

turkey and make sure to get some 

champagne in the cavity. Bring the 

foil over the top of the turkey and 

seal. Keep the foil from touching the 

skin of the breast or legs. 

3. Bake the turkey for 2 1/2 - 3 

hours until juices run clear. Uncover 

and continue to bake until skin turns 

golden brown (about 30 minutes to 

1 hour more). When done, remove 

turkey from oven and cover with 

aluminum foil - let the turkey rest at 

least 15 minutes before carving.

MISC | ASK THE PETXPERT 

BY BILL PIECHOCKI 

Are Some Treats Actually 

Unhealthy For My Pet? 

SEND YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR OUR PETXPERT TO: PETS@ATLANTICAVEMAGAZINE.COM 

THESE PETS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 

Everyone loves their pets and likes to provide them with special 

rewards. Part of that process is finding proper treats for your pet. 

We see the flashy advertising and packaging that is part of the 

product selection. Our hope is no matter which choice of treat we pick; 

the goal is for your pet to like them. 

However, what is in pet treats? Are they beneficial or are they just 

snacks? Why do our pets prefer certain treats over their food? 

Pets are similar to humans in trying to satisfy a need by using 

foods to balance their body’s requirements. The body is always 

searching to balance nutritional needs that are dynamic and always 

changing. Like us, pets need a variety of different foods with varying 

nutritional profiles. When we give them a treat, they are reacting to 

those nutritional needs. It also demonstrates the deficiency in that 

same boring bowl of food that is repeated over and over. Pets know 

what they need instinctively. 

Beware that many commercial treats are not designed for their nutritional 

value but for the profit generated. Let’s face it, in nature, all 

foods are regarded as a treat. . In the wild, canines and felines such as 

wolves and panthers often hunt specific prey to not only satisfy their 

appetites but also to instinctively fulfill their nutritional needs. 

Many conventional pet treats are filled with addictive and inappropriate 

ingredients; however, the treat is still a change from that boring 

inappropriate commercial food that many pets are still being fed. In 

addition to the already inappropriate ingredients in their main diet, 

these treats add to a plethora of synthetic chemical flavors and preservatives 

to make the product another convenience for the pet parent. As 

a result, most commercial treats contribute to an unhealthy condition. 

Most are carbohydrate based such as cookies with a meat flavor that 

contribute heavily to challenges like obesity, gum and dental problems 

and even diabetes. Many of these products are created with specific addictive 

compounds to overindulge the appetite and ensure repeat sales. 

Our philosophy is that treats can be used as nutritional supplements 

and as rewards in training and behavioral conditions. To 

achieve this, they must be species specific in achieving healthier pets. 

For dogs and cats, that means animal-based products like meat, poultry, 

fish, seafood and even eggs. While most of us will not fill our treat 

pouch with fresh meats, technology has brought us dehydration. All 

natural, dri-baked foods provide a plethora of nutritious treats that 

are easy for pet parents to handle. 

Another interesting point is when you have a pet that has a heart or 

liver issue...in Eastern medicine you treat the illness like for like. For 

example, a pet with liver issues will benefit with more liver in their diet. 

Many do not want to handle raw liver and its’ possible side effects of 

loose stool. The dehydrated liver will have the same benefits. The reason 

behind this is the nutritional profile of the food is exactly what the 

body needs to heal that part. 

High quality species appropriate treats are an excellent addition to 

any dietary plan. 

Remember research, reading ingredient labels and knowing the prey 

and environmental sources the foods come from are important. Common 

sense will then kick in on enabling you to keep your pet healthy.
