PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS BROADWAY IN THE ‘BURBS
2018 SEASON
By TOM MARTINI
APRIL 20-29
ANNIE
“Phoenix Productions is doing a show” echoed out into the darkness of the packed Count Basie Theatre in February. That simple voiceover signaled the start of a spectacular celebration of the 30th birthday of the non-profit community theatre organization that has become an institution in Red Bank. It was an evening full of music and memories, hosted by Broadway and Hollywood veteran Jared Gertner and displaying the talents of more than a hundred Phoenix alums who performed 60 (yes 60!) musical numbers from Broadway history.
! S W SHO
“Since the premiere production, Jesus Christ Superstar, back in 1988,” commented Gertner, “Phoenix has done two things better than almost anywhere else. One, helped nurture the talent of the next generation, and Two...Rock!”
Jared knows from first hand experience. As a teenager, he appeared in a half-dozen Phoenix shows in the 1990s, then moved on to a professional career that included leading roles on Broadway and an Olivier nomination in London. He is one of the hundreds of youngsters who polished their talents on the Count Basie stage, then graduated to the world of professional theatre.
Founded in 1988, more or less by accident, the goal was to “put on a show next summer” recalls Phoenix founder Tom Martini. “We were just sitting around one night eating a pizza and fantasizing about doing some shows for the sheer joy of it. Never did we dream that the fantasy would become a company that created nearly 150 shows, provided opportunities for several thousand performers, artists and craftspeople, and entertained hundreds of thousands of people. We are truly blessed.”
Phoenix founder Tom Martini
JUNE 22-24
IN THE HEIGHTS
That seemingly insignificant pizza has spawned an organization that now owns its own Phoenix Performing Arts Center at 59 Chestnut Street in Red Bank where they build sets, create costumes and rehearse shows. Further, within the sprawling space of the complex, they launched a year-round arts education program for children and adults and are currently in the midst of a capital campaign to outfit their own “black-box”, a 100-seat studio theatre where they will produce even more theatre opportunities for performers and audience as well.
The multi-million dollar complex is the culmination of a dream that began with a show (Jesus Christ Superstar) at Christian Brothers Academy’s Henderson Theatre in Lincroft, then moved to Red Bank where the company rehearsed in the shuttered Red Bank Lumber on Monmouth Street before they bought a shuttered Wawa next door to the Count Basie with funds borrowed from Trustees and a mortgage from a trusting bank. “It was too small when we bought it,” Martini recalls. “And it kept getting smaller as we grew. But it was ours.”

From those spaces, Phoenix has sent forth Broadway performers like Jenny Hill and Jillian Mueller who have appeared in multiple Broadway shows; designers like Ashley Cusack who painted sets for Phoenix, got her Masters in set design, then painted sets in New York; entrepreneurs like Jessica Gartner who rose from a high-school career in the Phoenix box office to open her own high-tech start-up, and even Tom Martini’s son Andrew who hung lights on the Count Basie stage and now owns his own theatrical lighting business. A good many of those alumni from 30 years of Phoenix history returned to celebrate the birthday at the Basie in February, sharing their memories and experiences with the newest generation of the Phoenix family. People who couldn’t be there sent video clips— Kate Pentek from London, Jackie Nagle from Australia—all wanting to share in the joy of the evening. All wanting to pass the torch to the new crop of performers, artists and craftspeople who are the future of Phoenix. Jared Gertner even hosted a master class for the group on the day after the gala. “It was a remarkable weekend that brought tears to many eyes as we relived our past,” Martini comments. “It was also a look to the future—a future that seems brighter than ever. A future we would never in our wildest dreams foreseen back 30 years ago around that pizza.”

very kid loves camp – even furry ones! And, furry kids are totally happy campers at Camp Bow Wow in Eatontown. This camp for dogs, run by brothers Chris and Marc Sorbo, offers daycare, boarding, bathing, and grooming in a fun, safe and attentive atmosphere, staffed by loving, trained counselors. At daycare Day-Camp, dogs can romp with their friends in 9,000-sq.-ft. indoor and outdoor play areas. Sleep-Away campers board in cozy cabins with comfy cots, and enjoy nightly Campfire Treats. Daycare is included in all overnight stays and there’s no extra charge for medication administration or other special requests. Parents can even watch their pups at play on live Camper Cams, accessible by computer, phone or tablet. Another advantage: pet campers have access to Camp Bow Wow’s national network of 150 franchise locations, so dogs can travel with their families and get the same quality care and services. “Regular exercise and socialization helps dogs maintain a healthy weight, and relieves boredom, separation anxiety, and destructive behaviors,” says Chris. “We invite people to bring their pets for a tour, socialization interview, and free daycare session. Our campers have fun, and go home happy, tired-out, and ready for a good night’s sleep!”

he surroundings may be rustic at Dogs On The Farm & Cats, Too, but the facilities and programs are state-of-the-art. This pet-boarding resort, daycare and play-school, located in a serene, country setting on an historic horse farm, has been owned and operated for by the Leipzig family for 15 years. Founder Karen Leipzig (who lives onsite with her husband Howard), son Jason and daughter-in-law Liz, treat their dog and cat guests like family pets. Overnight boarders enjoy all the comforts of home in brand-new, custom-renovated, luxury guest rooms. Half the size of a horse stall, the wood-paneled Signature Stable Suites include child-sized car and train beds. Cozier-sized Farmhouse Suites have comfy Kuranda beds and bunk beds. All guest suites feature wall-to-wall, cushiony rubber flooring, a glass peek-a-boo window, privacy door panels, and lockers to hold favorite belongings and food from home. Guests receive one free daycare or personal-play session for each night of their stay. Pet parents can also add an in-room webcam to see their pets day and night, or opt for the innovative Pet Chatz system to communicate with their pets through live, two-way video and audio calls from a PC or phone. The “Paw Claw” response button allows pups to bark a reply, play a prerecorded video message from their owners, or even dispense treats and calming scents to comfort them during their stay. Daycare and overnight guests enjoy fresh air and fun on the farm in an 8,000-sq.-ft outdoor play yard with dog-friendly turf and a custom swim-park, all surrounded by beautiful horse pastures. In bad weather, play sessions occur in a 7,000-sq.-ft., climate-controlled, indoor arena, carpeted with dog-friendly turf. Dogs are constantly supervised by trained staff, and separated by size and temperament during playtime, and parents can always observe their pets with free, live webcam views of all play areas. To complement these services, DOTF just launched Happy Dog Play School, a cutting-edge program offering personalized “pawson” activities that promote whole-dog health and wellness. The program is designed to help dogs of all ages, breeds, physical abilities, and personalities benefit from engaging and stimulating exercise and play – even shy, nervous, or senior dogs that prefer to sit on the sidelines during traditional daycare. Activities are customized to meet the needs and abilities of each individual dog, and might include “nose work” (locating hidden treats and toys), “ramp-it-up” agility training, remote-control car chases, treat puzzles, and other learning games. Students receive a “report card,” are given “homework,” and have access to a lending library of enrichments to practice at home. The one-on-one program is offered daily during regular daycare sessions. “Studies show a holistic approach is best for dogs,” says DOTF Manager, Liz Leipzig. “Just like people, dogs are happier and healthier when they are engaged, stimulated and having fun. We’ve had an unbelievable response, with wait lists daily, so we’re adding more sessions.” Dogs registering for at least eight classes before June 1 receive a free school backpack. Dogs On The Farm & Cats, Too offers local transportation on its pet-friendly school bus, with pick-ups/drop-offs available at homes, ferry or train stations. DOTF chaperones can even accompany city dogs on the ferry for some R-and-R in the country! Dogs On The Farm, And Cats, Too 790 Kings Highway East (entrance on Bowne Rd.)

ith all due respect to Barbra Streisand, the lyrics to her iconic ballad really should go like this: “People,… People who need pets, Are the luckiest people in the world.” Interacting with animals is proven to decrease blood pressure and stress hormones; cut the risk of heart disease; reduce loneliness, anxiety, and depression; improve social interactions; and enhance feelings of calm, comfort and focus. Here’s a peek into the pet effect, and why we are the luckiest people in the world:
STUDIES SHOW PETS’ UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, PATIENCE AND INTUITIVE EMPATHY HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING. goat yoga
You may be used as a makeshift mountain during Downward Dog, or go nose to nose with one of the curious creatures during Cobra pose, but that’s all part of the fun of Goat Yoga. The concept of practicing yoga with goats started on the west coast in 2016, but thanks to social media, the phenomenon is sweeping the naaaaahtion (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves). Why? According to practitioners, it is impossible to feel sad—or, to even resist laughing out loud—when you are distracted by playful, silly, goats. Oasis Therapeutic Life Centers (Oasis tlc) in Middletown, an organic farm school for people with autism, started hosting Goat Yoga classes for the public last year. The classes, held outdoors on the peaceful farm, are led by Gina Lennon of Hot & Soul Yoga, Red Bank, and Jen Portman of Synergy Hot Yoga, Fair Haven. All the while, some of the 32 Nigerian dwarf goats that reside at the farm school, wander around, inquisitively checking out the bending and stretching yogis on their mats. “The goats are naturally curious and friendly, kind of like dogs. They make people smile,” says Mai Cleary, founder of Oasis tlc. “It is a really fun experience and everyone is so happy afterwards. It shows how animals can help people.” The goats are raised and cared for by student interns who participate in the Oasis tlc program, which is designed to provide vocational training and meaningful work in a healthy, natural, structured environment. The student interns also use the goats’ milk to create and sell soaps and lotions. Money raised from yoga classes ($30 donation per person, per session) helps cover operating expenses for the farm school, including the goats’ food. Goat yoga proved so popular last year—attracting as many as 130 participants per session from as far as New York City, and with nearly as many on the waiting list—that Oasis tlc added more classes and created an easy online registration portal this year.

Monmouth County Seeing Eye Puppy Raisers Club Continued from previous page
“paws for reading”
At libraries all over, children can now practice reading aloud to certified, trained therapy dogs that happily lend an ear. These calm, gentle and non-judgmental pups listen attentively and reward effort with tail-wagging praise. Studies show canine-assisted reading has a “paw-sitive” effect on literacy skills, even among struggling readers. Children often feel less intimidated and more relaxed and comfortable reading to therapy dogs in the library rather than peers in the classroom, so they gain confidence, show academic improvement, and in many cases, develop a love for reading. In the words of one librarian, “Magic happens.” Programs are offered at the Monmouth County Library Eastern Branch in Shrewsbury, as well as libraries in Middletown, Rumson, Eatontown, Atlantic Highlands, Hazlet, Colts Neck, West Long Branch and more. Contact your local public library to sign up; registration is usually required. Interested in getting certified with your pet for the “Read-to-a-Dog” therapy program? Contact the Monmouth County SPCA MONMOUTHCOUNTYSPCA.ORG
seeing eye dogs
Seeing Eye guide dogs help people who are blind or visually impaired navigate the world. But, before these dogs can do their valuable work, they must go through a rigorous training program. That’s where Seeing Eye Puppy Raisers come in. These volunteers spend about a year raising a puppy, typically labs, golden retrievers and German shepherd breeds, in their homes. They housetrain the pups, teach obedience, manners and socialization skills, and expose them to a wide range of real-world environments, before the dogs head for advanced training at The Seeing Eye organization’s headquarters in Morristown. Members of the Monmouth County Seeing Eye Puppy Raisers Club meet twice a month at the Little Silver Women’s Club, and in between take dogs on group-outings to the mall, baseball games, airport, train and bus stations, NYC, schools, scout groups and libraries. No experience is necessary to be a puppy raiser, and people who do say the experience is gratifying and life-altering. “Being a puppy raiser and supporting the work of The Seeing Eye has become an integral part of our lives,” says Jamie Kretsch, a leader of the Monmouth County group. “You fall in love with helping others by doing something you enjoy so much.” SEEINGEYE.ORG/PUPPIES-DOGS/RAISE-A-PUPPY
equine therapy
It’s a fact: the physical, emotional, and psychological stimuli involved in riding and interacting with horses improves humans’ health and wellbeing. Special People United to Ride (SPUR) offers these benefits of therapeutic horsemanship to individuals with disabilities in our area. Located at the Monmouth County Park System’s Sunnyside Equestrian Center in Lincroft, the non-profit program annually serves more than 200 children and adults with autism, blindness, brain injury, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and other developmental and health challenges. Through weekly riding sessions with certified instructors, supported by trained volunteers, each rider achieves measurable progress in self-esteem, social skills, balance, muscle tone, posture, and sensory processing. Not to mention forming a unique bond with the beautiful, gentle animals. For more info on the program, or to volunteer, visit SPURONLINE.ORG.

THIS VACATION DESTINATION IS
Top Dog!
Like most five-star resorts, The Green Leaf Pet Resort has a Zen-like lobby, indulgent amenities, well-appointed guest suites, and 24-hour attention to your every need. The only difference: the guests are dogs! Shelly and Donna Leibowitz founded the business six years ago, after searching in vain for a safe, fun, and caring home-awayfrom-home for their beloved dogs while on vacation. Today, their Green Leaf Pet Resort provides extremely attentive, personalized boarding for dogs, as well as daycare, grooming, and expert obedience and behavior training services. Like their original location in Millstone Township, Green Leaf’s brand-new second location in Ocean Township is a state-of-the-art resort. The 36,000-sq.-ft. facility is home to spacious play areas. Glass-enclosed boarding suites have plush Tempur-Pedic and Kuranda beds, and the 25- by 50-ft. salt-water aquatic center welcomes doggie-paddlers for pool-time fun. At the luxury spa and salon, dogs can get glammed-up by master groomers, relax with facials and massages, and even have their nails painted. A beautiful onsite “Pawtique” boutique is stocked with toys and accessories for the well-appointed pooch. While boarding, dogs are supervised 24/7, showered with one-on-one attention, and take multiple daily walks. Owners can schedule extra pampering with packages of customizable add-ons like ice cream treats, swimming sessions, massages, grooming, toy-shopping, and even bedtime stories/tuck-ins. Doggie daycare is supervised at all times and offers plenty of opportunities for exercise and group play with dogs of similar temperament and energy levels. “Just like people, dogs are happier when they’re stimulated and socializing with other dogs,” says Donna. “They’re bored home alone all day.” Green Leaf Pet Resort hosts private doggie pool parties and birthday parties, “You and Yours” group-swim sessions, and doggie diet-and-exercise weight-loss programs. Future plans include “Wine and Wag” singles nights for dogs and owners. Besides all the fun, the facility is designed with serious attention to safety and sanitation. UV lighting systems and cushioned, high-traction, antimicrobial flooring, commonly used in hospitals, are installed throughout to eliminate bacteria on surfaces. An antimicrobial HVAC system sanitizes the air, and a generator kicks in within seconds in case of a power outage. Green Leaf has four, immaculate, restaurant-quality, stainless-steel kitchens for food prep and storage. “We invite people to come and take a tour seven days a week, no appointment necessary,” says Shelly. “That’s a testament to our cleanliness.” Another benefit is the experienced staff. Shelly, a renowned training expert, has trained over 10,000 dogs in obedience, housebreaking, problem-correction, and other areas. Besides family pets, Shelly regularly trains dogs for state, local, and Port Authority police departments, as well as therapy dogs and service dogs. Donna brings a medical background to the business, and all staff members receive at least 100 hours of dog-care instruction. Green Leaf Pet Resort’s Ocean Township location officially opens March 5 and will celebrate with a spectacular Grand Opening on March 24 from 11am - 3 pm. The pet- and people-friendly event features tours, food, music, swimming and obedience demos, and staff meet-and-greets. “There is no other facility like this,” says Shelly and Donna. “Dogs arrive with their tails wagging and leave with their tails wagging. They love us and know we love them.” Green Leaf Pet Resort www.greenleafpetresort.com 1604 Hwy 35 South, Ocean Township (near Deal Road intersection), 732-272-0800 23 Burnt Tavern Road, Millstone, 609-259-1500
DICK PALAZZO, BETSY PALAZZO-DUDICK and KOREN PALAZZO-SPADAVECCHIA Private climate-controlled suites boast leather sofas, music, and skylights. There are natural stone areas with fresh water waterfalls and pools for splashing and swimming. Special programs include everything from Reiki and geriatric care to weight loss and socialization. Sound like your kind of exclusive all-inclusive luxury resort? There is a catch: it’s not for everyone; it’s for dogs and cats, though their owners are welcome to visit.
PURR’N POOCH PET RESORTS
Purr’n Pooch Pet Resorts is the insightful creation of Dick Palazzo who, armed with a pre-veterinary degree and a love of animals, set about, in 1969, to change the pet care business model in a way that, 40 years later, remains unique to this area, if not much of the world. “He had a vision that revolutionized the kennel industry, and was the first to provide pets with a fully controlled environment in an enclosed facility,” says Dick’s daughter Betsy Palazzo-Dudick, who, along with her sister Koren Palazzo-Spadavecchia and their mother, Dick’s wife Mary, run the family-owned business, taking it from one inspired level to the next. “Think of it,” says Betsy, “as The Atlantic Club and Molly Pitcher Inn for your pet.” Here, cats are top dog, with their own tranquil digs and specially built glassed-in funhouse replete with climbing walls, and so are animal rescue groups. The latter receive educational resources from the Purr’n Pooch Foundation for Animals, established by the daughters as a present to their parents in honor of their 40th year in business. As Dick explains, his vision for Purr’n Pooch stemmed from “looking at things from a dog or cat’s point of view.” The end result is a place that says no to boredom and yes to self-expression and fun.

WITH THE OPENING OF THE AREA’S FIRST CAT CAFÉ… AND AN UNPRECEDENTED, STAR-STUDDED CAT CONVENTION… FAB FELINES HAVE A DEDICATED FRIEND IN A MAN NAMED
DJ Dean “DJ” Bornschein, Catsbury Park
NVENTIONAL
AT
By TOM CHESEK
“I spent most of my twenties not really growing up,” recalls Dean “DJ” Bornschein of those ten years in which he served as stage manager for The Bouncing Souls, the internationally touring punk rock band that makes its worldwide headquarters these days in a century-old house on Asbury Park’s Fourth Avenue.

“I became an adult in my thirties, when I got a cat...and I really fell in love with it.”
A resident of the Asbury Park area for more than twenty years—and a turntable veteran who club habitues might recognize as “DJ Values”—Bornschein has long since retired from the road to focus his energies on a particularly passionate pursuit. Not a band or a bar, but a nonprofit enterprise by name of Catsbury Park—a feline-phile’s paradise that positions itself as the first of its kind in the Garden State.
Located in downtown Asbury’s “arts bloc” at 708 Cookman Avenue— a storefront site that previously hosted the Where Music Lives museum, as well as the original Showroom arthouse cinema—Catsbury Park is a true “cat café;” a clean well-lighted place in which patrons can take time out to enjoy local-vendor desserts, teas or coffees and, if they so desire, get acquainted with the current residents of the café’s cat adoption center.

“I could have opened ten months before I did,” says Bornschein of the establishment that welcomed its first customer in the fall of 2017, following Continued on next page

an extended interlude of “coming soon” announcements. “But I wanted to do this the right way, with the food and beverages, since a lot of ‘cat cafes’ are really just adoption centers that partner with a nearby coffee shop.” Here in what the owner unabashedly brands “the century of the cat,” the café quickly got down to its core mission of matching cat lovers of all persuasions with (to date) dozens of “totally socialized, totally loveable” felines; all of them ownersurrendered pets of one year and up in age—in addition to being medically checked, vaccinated, spayed, neutered, microchipped, and fully “ready to adopt.” Although the café has been in operation for a mere handful of months, owner Bornschein and manager Jamie Nichols (who makes her home at the Bouncing Souls’ aforementioned “Little Eden” HQ) have wasted no time in taking the Catsbury concept to the next several levels—and on April 7 and 8, the historic Convention Hall and Paramount Theater complex will be the setting for the first annual Catsbury Park Cat Convention, a weekend-long wingding of guest speakers, seminars, vendors and special feline celebrities that stakes an instant claim to being the biggest such event on the east coast. It’s a quantum-leap pounce for the not-forprofit operation that began life just under
three years ago, as a cat rescue service operating from DJ’s house. It was while finding homes for hard-to-place cats through social media that Bornschein got wind of the “cat café craze” gathering momentum in California—and a road-trip excursion to several established cafes in the Bay Area inspired him to scout out potential locations in Asbury Park. Introducing the Catsbury Park brand to a wider audience at farmer’s markets and outdoor festivals, the captain of the cats set about raising startup funds through an online campaign, as well as through sales of t-shirts, mugs, hoodies and other logo’d merch. Even as he navigated the long months of “jumping through hoops with the city,” Bornschein was laying the groundwork for an ambitious answer to such events as Pasadena’s CatCon, and “My Cat From Hell” TV host Jackson Galaxy’s Cat Camp. Accepting its temporary residents exclusively through three well-accredited sources (the Humane Society in Tinton Falls; the Monmouth County SPCA; the Jersey Shore Animal Foundation), Catsbury Park keeps its furry guests entirely separate from the food area (and available for mingling by appointment only) in a well-windowed room that, as per code requirements, features its own climate control and ventilation systems.Thus even a cat-allergic cat lover can watch the potential adoptees frolic, climb and catnap in their environment

“like you were seeing them on YouTube;” whether from the café or the building’s glass-lined vestibule. Over on Ocean Avenue—where the area around Convention Hall has often harbored a large population of feral Boardwalk Cats—attendees at the inaugural Cat Convention will enjoy a happening that aims squarely for the fences its first time up, with more than 50 featured vendors of cat-centric products and merchandise; informational displays by rescue organizations and other nonprofits; an on-site SPCA adoption center—and a frankly amazing firmament of in-person superstar cats. There’s Li’l Bub, the distinctive “most amazing cat on the planet” who went from runt of a feral litter to international internet sensation—and round-eyed Nala, the Guinness-certified “most famous cat on Instagram.” There’s the famed “girl with the mustache” known as Pudge, plus Teddy and Dexter of Monmouth County’s own Hobbikats. Then there’s Klaus, buddy of (now deceased) Oskar the Blind Cat, and guest for a presentation on Oskar’s life. Not to be outdone, the human element asserts itself through guest appearances by Hannah “The Kitten Lady” Shaw, the orphaned-cat rescue advocate and “neonatal kitten warrior” who will be conducting presentations (on kitten care, and Trap-Neuter-Return methodology) each day of the event. Also on hand will be NYC-based TNR advocate “Paul the Cat Guy,” and internet librarian/meme expert Amanda Brennan. (Note that several of the meet-and-greet events are ticketed separately from the convention’s general admission charge; visit catsburyconvention.com for details) The whole thing’s a feline “funraiser” that makes possible the continued operations of Catsbury Park, as well as designated co-beneficiaries Asbury Boardwalk Rescue, Associated Humane Societies of NJ, the Rumson-based Brodie Fund, Camden County Animal Shelter, Jersey Shore Animal Foundation, and Paul the Cat Guy. “Leave the cats at home—they’ll appreciate it—and enjoy a weekend that’s not just a cat event, but a pop-cultural event,” says Bornschein. “We love our cats—and we want our people to have fun.”

BACKYARD FARMING A “GROWING” TREND IN THE GARDEN STATE Bye, bye begonias. Adios azaleas. More and more homeowners are converting their ornamental landscaping, flower beds and lawns into edible gardens. According to the 2017 National Gardening Survey market research study, the food-gardening industry grew by $1 billion in sales over the last five years, and one-third of U.S. households are now growing food at home. Inspired by the farm-to-table local-food movement, a longing to connect to nature, and a desire for healthy, nutrient-dense food, people are planting organic vegetables, herbs and fruit trees at home. While many of today’s backyard farmers are do-it-yourselfers, busy, time-stressed families often prefer the “do-it-for-me” approach, hiring professionals like Renee Mongiovi to design, install, and maintain their gardens. About 10 years ago, Renee ditched her high-pressure corporate job to start Oasis Backyard Farms in Morganville. She created and maintained organic vegetable gardens for 12 clients her first year in business, toting a rototiller and bags of soil around in the trunk of her Jaguar, a leftover luxury from her corporate days. By year two, the business had nearly doubled; after 10 years Renee estimates she has installed more than 500 backyard gardens throughout Monmouth County, including Cousins’ Garden in Rumson, a community-giving garden that donates all produce harvested to Lunch Break. The trend is moving to the mainstream, according to Jonas Forssell, owner and founder of Eco Logic, a Middletown company that designs, builds and maintains custom organic gardens. “When we started in 2010 this was a totally new concept and we had to convince people that edible gardens were part of a well-designed landscape,” he says. “Today, the general public is so well informed. They see the connection between the environment, food and health, and they want to grow their own food. But, it can be hard for people to find the time.”

SECTION FOOD Locally Grown C SA s If you don’t have the desire, space, or sufficient sunshine for an edible backyard garden, a share in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program might be the next best way to enjoy locally grown, farmto-table produce. A CSA is crowd-funded farming. Consumers purchase a 'share" in the farmer's harvest before the season starts. Throughout the growing season, each shareholder receives a box with their portion of the produce harvested that week. Oasis Therapeutic Life Centers (Oasis tlc), a vocational farm school program in Middletown for people with autism, has just launched a CSA with produce grown by the participating student interns. People who purchase a half or full share, and will get a weekly assortment of whatever is in season from May through October, such as asparagus, lettuces, beans, tomatoes, squash, chard, kale, eggplant, and more.
OASISTLC.ORG
Backyard garden services provide all the fun of having a garden, with as much or as little involvement as families wish. The process typically starts with an initial consultation to discuss eating and cooking habits and vegetable preferences. The goal is to plant only what the family likes and can consume, to minimize waste. Popular requests include tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, leafy greens and lettuces, herbs, berries, and fruit trees. The consultation also covers the homeowner’s vision for the garden. Some prefer a strictly utilitarian garden; others want it to be pretty as well as practical, and request a picturesque “destination” for sitting and relaxing. Instead of being relegated to the far corner of the yard, today’s vegetable gardens are increasingly part of a cohesive outdoor living space, along with the patio, outdoor cooking area, and fire pit. The garden design usually incorporates raised beds surrounded by crushed-stone or mulched pathways, but sometimes in-ground plots are used. The raised beds are often constructed from cedar or other durable hardwoods, but may be made from stone, Cor-Ten steel, galvanized troughs, or other materials to match the home’s existing hardscapes. The garden company may also add fencing to keep out wildlife. Once the garden is installed, some homeowners take over from there. But, depending on the company, up to 75-percent of clients request weekly maintenance services, such as planting seeds and starts, composting, organic fertilizing, trellising, pruning, weeding, pest-control (without chemicals), and succession replanting with crop rotation. While many customers happily hand over weeding duties, there is one task most enjoy: harvesting. “People love to meander through the garden and harvest,” say Jonas. “Nothing compares to picking and eating something the same day.”
“This may be a ‘new’ trend,” says Sean Walsh, of AppleSeed Permaculture, “but it’s also a throwback to a time when the landscape was used for something functional.” His Red Bank-based company specializes in designing low-maintenance, sustainable, garden ecosystems. For example, Sean will design a garden placing different “companion” plants together so they will attract pollinators, or act as mulch beneath a taller plant to keep the soil moist and minimize water usage. He will suggest where to plant trees to shade the house to reduce energy bills, and even start a mushroom garden on logs in a shady corner of the yard, otherwise unsuitable for growing vegetables. It is not inexpensive to establish and maintain an organic backyard food garden, but unlike ornamental landscaping, edible gardens provide a return-on-investment. Studies show raised-bed gardens yield about 2.5 pounds per square foot; a 100-sq.-ft. garden will yield approximately 250 pounds of organic produce annually. Once mature, dwarf fruit trees can produce more than100 pounds of fruit per year. Considering the retail price of organic produce, the return value can be significant. “All this can be implemented in stages,” adds Sean. “Start small with one fruit bush or tree and a small vegetable garden. People usually find that getting their hands dirty is very therapeutic. And they also usually discover that kids who grow kale, will eat kale.”

C O L O N H E A L T H THE EARLIER COLON CANCER I S C A U G H T, THE BETTER THE OUTCOME.

iscussing colon health with your physician might be uncomfortable, but it could prove vital. Although colon cancer is sporadic, it accounts for approximately 65 percent of new cancer cases every year, making it the third leading cause of cancer in both men and women in the U.S.
“For the most part, colon cancer is preventable,” says Steven Tizio, M.D., FACS, a board certified colon and rectal surgeon affiliated with Riverview Medical Center. “It typically begins as small, noncancerous polyps that can develop into colon cancer if left untreated.”
Polyps can be small, producing very few symptoms, which is why regular screening is important. During a screening such as a colonoscopy, a physician can remove and biopsy polyps before they have the chance to become cancerous. If any are found to contain cancerous cells, action can be taken quickly to prevent the cancer from spreading. “While it is possible to have colon cancer with little to no symptoms, it most often presents with several notable ones,” says Dr. Tizio. “Abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, bloody stool, fatigue, or changes in bowel habits are usually the first indicators that something is wrong.” Treatment can take many forms, but depends on the location, size, health of the patient, and the extent to which the cancer has spread. In many cases, colorectal cancers caught in the early stage may be treatable by surgery alone, potentially even by minimally invasive robotic surgery, which can help patients recover faster. “The earlier colon cancer is caught, the better,” says Dr. Tizio. “Not all patients need chemotherapy, but if the cancer has traveled to the lymph nodes, or if it has spread to other areas of the body, it will likely be required. The goal is to catch it before those steps are necessary.”
Steven Tizio, M.D., FACS
The current guidelines recommend screening for colorectal cancer beginning at 50-years-old. Individuals with a family history— a parent, brother, sister, or child—of colorectal cancer, or who had polyps before 60-years-old, should begin screening at age 40. “It’s very important to inform your physician if you have a family history of colon cancer, as it greatly increases your risk of developing it,” says Dr. Tizio. “African Americans should also pay close attention to screening guidelines and symptoms, as they are also at a higher risk, as are individuals who are diabetic, obese, have a high fat diet, or who consume a lot of alcohol.” There are several screening options, such as fecal occult blood testing, which tests for blood in stool; colonoscopy, which exams the colon in its entirety; or sigmoidoscopy, which exams only a portion of the colon. “It’s not a comfortable topic,” says Dr. Tizio. “But I always tell people that for gastroenterologists, surgeons, and primary care physicians, talking about bowel activities is what we do every day. You shouldn’t be embarrassed to voice concerns, because doing so could possibly save your life.”

Your Astrological
GARDEN
by ALICE LOFFREDO
One of Spring’s great graces is the return of the botanical world from its winter slumbers, which led me to think about how astrology and gardening can join together to make a recognizable, positive contribution to our lives. Each of the signs of the zodiac is associated with certain plants, flowers and colors. Including these in your environment stimulates the energies of your Sun sign in the most positive way, helping you feel comfortable and at home in your world.
You don’t have to get out a shovel and start digging (unless you’re an earthy sign like Taurus, or Virgo, that is—they often love to “play in the dirt.”) Planting a container garden on a sunny ledge, or picking just the right flowers for a kitchen table bouquet, or even hanging a carefully-selected botanical print on the wall can have the same effect.
“We must make our garden grow.” - Voltaire
If you know the sign of your Moon (emotions) or Venus (aesthetics and our response to beauty), so much the better. The energetic landscape and palette expand and connect you only deeper to your “center.” But knowing only your Sun sign is an awesome start. The Sun represents the basic nature of our personality, and Mother Nature can certainly work wonders with that. Happy Spring!
