Let There be Light Could this be the light at the end of the tunnel?
P
ink cherry blossoms on the sidewalk, the scent of budding trees, flowers blooming—and at this writing more than 30,000 residents vaccinated. Looks like light to me, and a number of stories in this issue reflect the promise off spring. Take Buddy Baseball. Sports guru Jim Hague takes an in-depth look at this stupendously popular program for specialneeds kids. But it’s grown into much more. Read the emotional responses of kids and adults of every ability, and you’ll get the picture. It’s farmers market season. Ever wonder who supplies all that fresh produce? Dan Israel talks to members of a family farm who keep us supplied with homegrown fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, back at the condo, high-end plants anyone? Tara Ryazansky caught up with a pair of Bayonne dentists with good hands and green thumbs who launched Rudo Plants & Home. Buy online, and the plants are delivered free. Look for a brickand-mortar shop in their future.
