THE HOMESTEAD at
Michael grew up in Florida, lived in Manhattan and spent years at a job in advertising. His “love of good food” took him to farmers’ markets where he developed an appreciation for local farming. He started volunteering at a twoacre rooftop farm in the city, growing vegetables and teaching children about food. His work producing advertising for mega corporations made him feel like “a traitor to what I believed in.” In December, he joined the crew at Seven Arrows, full time.
SEVEN ARROWS FARM EAST
“WE’VE GOT OUR WORK CUT OUT
W
FOR US, BUT WE’RE HAPPY AS
hen Meg Paska, Michael Meier and Neil Despres decided to step off the grid, they landed with their feet planted in the rolling acres and rich soil of Seven Arrows Farm in the Locust section of Middletown. These former Brooklyn urban farmers have cut their own work out for themselves: to develop the land as a sustainable, practicing-organic farm and transform the estate landscape in New Jersey in the process through the Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) they will be practicing.
CLAMS ABOUT IT. FARM LIFE IS
Neil is from Massachusetts and admits to never having seen fresh avocado while growing up. He describes himself as having one foot on the farm and the other in his career as a network engineer and IT professional, working at Seven Arrows in his free time and on weekends. He also maintains the farm’s cheerful and inviting website with its fresh crop of up-coming events like “Homesteading Bootcamp with Farmers Meg & Michael” in May. There are posts of monthly harvest for shareholders, and recipe and tips for everyone:
NOT FOR EVERYONE, BUT WHEN IT’S
FOR YOU, IT’S JUST ABOUT ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IN THE WORLD.”
The Homestead at Seven Arrows was already a year-round retreat center (sevenarrowseast.com), offering yoga classes and holistic workshops when organic farming got added. This spring seeded the first crops from Seven Arrows where community members become stakeholders in the farm’s production, buying shares that return produce and products, including eggs and honey. The idea of a CSA originally sprang from concerns about food safety and the desire to have local, high-quality production. Community members become the stakeholders who receive crops from the farm, creating a direct and personal relationship with the food producers. In other words, a CSA is a modern take on locally-supported, traditional family farming, —a long distance from today’s mega marts, corporate farms, and headlines about food recalls. Seven Arrows has sold all its stakes for its first season. “We’re grateful for the support, “ Meg reports. “People coming to the farm have told us this is something we have wanted, even though we didn’t know we wanted it.” Currently, New Jersey is considering changing the requirements for farm assessments. With state scrutiny—along with town leaders looking for new ways to add tax dollars to meet budget needs—it soon may no longer be possible for landowners to call their five-plus acres a farm. CSA could provide a solution that would satisfy both the desire to maintain open land, while actually serving the community that provides the easement to the landowners. As Michael says, “Everyone can win with a partnership.” None of the three Seven-Arrows farmers grew up around farming. Meg describes herself as a city girl who worked as a fashion merchandiser. She began raising bees in an urban environment—a pastime that became a passion that soon had her visiting various farms until she became determined to find a farm of her own.
O
ne of the best parts of being a CSA member is the surprise each week’s share brings. We farmers grow fruits and veggies appropriate to the seasons, so you won’t find tomatoes in your first spring share, nor lettuce heads in the dead heat of summer. Offering produce grown, harvested, and enjoyed in its height of health and flavor is what we’re all about. The chart below outlines some of the vegetables, herbs and foraged edibles we hope to deliver, and when you may see them in your share. This chart is based on our best estimate, but of course weather, pests, and other events will affect actual production. June | Mesclun Salad Mix, Arugula, Radishes, Head Lettuce, Baby Turnips, Chickweed, Peas, Pea Shoots, Green Beans, Spinach, Broccoli Rabe, Collards, Kale, Swiss Chard, Green Onions, Garlic Scapes, Cilantro, Wild Mushrooms, Wild Garlic Chives, Wild Watercress, Freshly Cut Flowers (optional), Eggs (optional)
They call it “a closed loop way of life” and, together Meg, Michael and Ryan extend a warm welcome to join them “…as we explore all of the ways we can live a more full and connected life.”

MONMOUTH PARK THE SHORE’S GREATEST
STRETCH A FEW YEARS AGO, MONMOUTH PARK ALMOST SHUT DOWN. INSTEAD, PLANS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED THAT WILL TURN THE 320-ACRE COMPLEX INTO A MULTI-FACETED YEAR-ROUND DESTINATION RESORT.

onsider the impact should Monmouth Park Racetrack— an Oceanport institution since 1946 with a storied pedigree dating back to its founding in 1870 in Long Branch—cease suddenly to exist. A driving force behind the state’s billion dollar Thoroughbred racing industry, the park employs some 500 full and part-time employees, while another 1,000 work the backside taking care of horses and putting on the show. Then there’s all that verdant Jersey farmland, hundreds of thousands of acres that the fickle Thoroughbreds call home, and the related agribusiness and infrastructure. All lost, most likely, to development, along with the joy brought to thousands who love the sport like no other.
Dennis Drazin
A few years ago, Monmouth Park almost shut down. Instead, plans are being implemented that will turn the 320-acre complex into a multifaceted year-round destination resort. Toward this end, the park hired Populous, a global master-planning outfit that works with venues such as the Olympics. Scheduled to open in 2014 are an outdoor amphitheater/concert venue that will hold about 7,500 persons, a boardwalk with shops, new restaurants, and a Las Vegas-style sports bar (with sports betting, pending current litigation). A miniature golf course is already in place. A hotel, convention center, IMAX theater, and indoor water-theme park are on the blue prints, along with a giant outdoor water park. Redevelopment costs are pegged at some $100 million. It’s an undertaking as ambitious as it is necessary. No one knows this better than Rumson native and attorney Dennis Drazin, a racetrack aficionado, long-time Monmouth Park advocate, and the man who’s helping make it all happen. “Gone are the days of old when you’d get 40,000 on a Saturday to come to Monmouth, when racing was the only gambling in the state,” explains Dennis, who when not working at the park is running the Red Bank law firm Drazin & Warshaw. “Since then we’ve had the lottery, Atlantic City casinos—everybody’s competing for the same gaming dollar. So you need to bring people back to the track, create excitement. We decided the only way to do that is to make Monmouth Park a destination resort.” The vision reaches further. “We’re thinking that the cross marketing and the over-flow from our racing venue and other opportunities would help revitalize Monmouth Park
as well,” he says. These other opportunities, which the state leveraged modestly during its tenure, include simulcasting. In March, the park brought in TVG, the #1 horse racing wagering website and horse racing television network in the USA, to manage its account-wagering platform. That part of the park’s business already was realizing about $95 million a year in total wagering handle; with TVG, business increased 42% in one month. Also, when the state relinquished control, the park inherited an offtrack wagering facility (OTW), Favorites Joe Bravo at Wo o d b r i d g e , which also does about the same number in total wagering handle yearly. Monmouth Park is “charged with the duty” to build out a total of nine OTW sites, and plans to do so in partnership with the Meadowlands in East Rutherford. “This will produce two things,” says Dennis. “Purse revenues for the horsemen and operator revenues to enable us to meet our bottom line here without seeking money from the state.”
Good thing, as the state has called it quits. At the end of 2011 Governor Christie pulled the plug on taxpayer dollars required to keep a money-losing Monmouth Park afloat from the time New Jersey assumed ownership in 1985. Bids went out for lease. When the smoke cleared, Morris Bailey, the casino owner and winning bidder, had backed out, preferring to lend his expertise to the land development end of things over track operations. It was Dennis Drazin and the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (the horsemen’s group that races at Monmouth and for whom Dennis serves as advisor), who stepped up to the plate to save horse racing in New Jersey. They formed a company called Darby Development LLC, headed by the park’s longtime general manager, Bob Kulina, now President of Darby Development LLC. The Horsemen, led by John Forbes, secured an initial five-year lease from the state. Darby was tasked by the Horsemen with track operations and development responsibilities. It was sink or swim. Last spring marked new management’s first “meet,” or season, which began on May 3 when Darby and the Horseman took the reins. “We had a very successful meet,” Dennis reports. While Hurricane Sandy delayed development plans somewhat—the track served the community as a vital emergency center—the park is back on track, looking forward to its 68th season, which opens Saturday, May 11. And Dennis is busier than ever. “Sometimes my day starts at six and goes until two in the morning, but I thrive on that. It’s not work. I’m having fun,” he says. “I have always enjoyed the practice of law and being in charge of running a law firm. Being involved in the operation of the racetrack, ensuring that Monmouth Park survives, is like a dream come true.”

Improve your self image without getting anything nipped, tucked or liposucked.
I t’s hard to read a magazine or watch TV these days
without hearing about who’s getting what enlarged or reduced all in the name of improving one’s self image. Seems like a pretty painful and expensive way to pick up esteem. Especially when, for a lot less money, you can improve your image painlessly with an original, “one of a kind” portrait. One that captures the original “one of a kind” you. So give me a call. It could be just what the doctor ordered.

SOUND BODY. SOUND MIND.
Center for Pilates by OLIVIA IANNONE Kate Brannan
After more than a decade of realizing the benefits of the Pilates method—both personally, from her own practice, and professionally as an instructor and owner of The Center for Pilates in the Galleria—Kate Brannan can say, with confidence, “Pilates is something for every single person.” She is quick to point out that Pilates is “more than just a form of exercise.” Rather, it is a fullbody conditioning system that seeks to develop controlled movement from a strong core using a range of apparatus, as well as low-impact mat and floor routines, to guide and train the body. Pilates is designed to engage the mind as well as the body while improving posture, strength, flexibility, coordination, breathing and balance. The Center teaches the classical Pilates method, using the principals first developed by its founder, Joseph Pilates, who believed that mental and physical health are related. Today, millions of people worldwide realize the benefits of his method. Kate studied with Romana Kryzanowska, a student and protégée of Joseph Pilates, and received her certification after a 700-hour program. Her studio is equipped with Pilates apparatus used under the glow of an antique chandelier that provides a welcoming atmosphere for clients who range in age from 17 to 83. “Practicing Pilates here got me a better body...and a great friendship,” says one of Kate’s clients of seven years. First a client, herself, and then an instructor, Kate became the sole owner of The Center three years ago. (Previous owner Mona Ryan still attends classes, as does Kim Gammino who also had her own studio.) Dani Alpert is an instructor on staff. Pilates' system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty, from beginner to advanced. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises. “Whatever body walks in the door, I have to work to their level and then grow from there,” Kate says. While group mat and apparatus classes are available, clients usually work one-on-one with an instructor. Kate explains that Pilates can be beneficial for seasoned athletes—who, often, are able to find and work muscles they didn’t know they had—as well as people wanting a low-impact workout they can do for the rest of their lives. Along with over-all conditioning, Pilates is used for rehabilitation purposes in recovery from injury or surgery. “I would love for people to just try it and see how it can help everyday life,” she says, with an inviting smile. “And it’s fun!”

Why Mammography?
Because Early Detection is a Woman’s Best Defense!
by TOM PAOLELLA for Meridian Health
THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL WOMEN • Yearly mammograms starting at age 40. • A clinical breast exam (CE) as part of a periodic health exam about every three years for women in their 20's and 30's, and every year for women 40 and older. • Women should report any breast change promptly to their health care provider. Breast self-examination (BSE) is an option for women starting in their 20's.
(l.) Phillipa Woodriffe, M.D., surgeon affiliated with Riverview Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital, at the Paint the Town Pink “2012 Party for Pink” with her sister Ramona Woodriffe, M.D. In 1977 Dr. Woodriffe became the fourth female ever to become a surgical resident at Mount Sinai Medical Center, NYC. Following that benchmark, she went on— 31 years ago—to become the first female in Monmouth County to practice surgery. Dr. Woodriffe is a breast cancer survivor and a strong advocate for women to get yearly mammograms. For an interview with Dr. Woodriffe and more information on Paint the Town Pink visit http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=JYTw1utK-Ss

f you knew a test could save your life, would you put it off? Mammograms are proven to save lives, yet, it is common knowledge that many women delay getting their annual mammogram screening for a variety of reasons, from hectic family schedules and financial challenges to simply not wanting to know.
"Mammograms detect between 75 and 80% of breast cancers—that's why it's so crucial for a woman to combine an annual mammogram with a yearly breast examination by her personal physician. Women should also note any changes such as a breast lump, nipple discharge, or unusual pain so their physicians can order appropriate testing," says Debra Camal, MD, Medical Director of the Breast Program for Meridian Cancer Care. "And mammography can find cancers up to two years before they can be felt, which means at a very early stage, when the cancer is most easily treatable." According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Although cancer risks increase for women who have a family member such as a mother, sister, or daughter who has had breast cancer, approximately 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of the disease. “The single greatest magnifier of the risk of contracting breast cancer is age,” says Dr. Camal. “At age 25, your chances are one in 19,608. At age 50, your chances are one in 50. At age 65, your chances are one in 24. And your overall lifetime risk is one in 8.” Annual mammograms can detect cancer early—when it is most treatable. Mammograms can also prevent the need for extensive treatment for advanced cancers and improve chances of breast conservation. Current guidelines from the American College of Radiology, the American Cancer Society, and the Society for Breast Imaging recommend that women receive annual mammograms starting at age 40—even if they have no symptoms or family history of breast cancer.

PINKER
THAN EVER
Seven years ago, a conversation took place at Riverview Medical Center about the growing percentage of women in Monmouth County— aged 40 and older—who were not getting their annual mammogram. What started as an idea to educate women has grown into Paint the Town Pink— one of the most effective awareness campaigns in the area that has dramatically impacted the lives of thousands of community members. Riverview initiated a breast health movement. In conjunction with the Jane H. Booker Women’s Center at Riverview, the mission behind the campaign was to educate local women about a simple and very significant fact: early detection is a woman’s best defense against breast cancer.
Paint the Town Pink launched in Red Bank in 2007 providing the opportunity to raise funds needed to provide mammography to the uninsured and underserved in the community. New Jersey ranks among the top ten states in the country for both incidence and mortality rates for breast cancer. Certain segments of the population are less likely to get mammograms including the low-income, uninsured, and under-insured — and, there are 586,300 uninsured women living in New Jersey. “The fact that there are still women out there who don’t get their yearly mammogram is just mind-boggling to me,” says Agatha Emmer, Atlantic Highlands Paint the Town Pink volunteer and breast cancer survivor. “I’m certain that getting my yearly mammogram saved my life, and I have a lot more living to do, especially with my husband, four daughters, and a dozen grandchildren. I’m not going anywhere.” By 2012, Paint the Town Pink had grown to eight towns with residents, business owners, town officials, and volunteers all coming together in May to spread the Pink message. For 2013, the campaign has expanded to 23 towns and is now a Meridian Health event, encompassing both Monmouth and Ocean counties that are pinker than ever. What began as an idea seven years ago has been transformed into a grassroots initiative that is changing lives in very tangible and meaningful ways.

THE PARTY TO TICKLE YOU PINK PARTY FOR PINK Friday, May 31, 2013 7–11pm Navesink Country Club
It takes a village to achieve the mission of Paint the Town Pink to raise awareness of the importance of annual mammography. And, every year that village has grown with more towns and even more supporters helping to encourage women, ages 40 and older, to have their annual mammogram. This annual event merges a breast cancer prevention, detection, and treatment campaign with a fundraising component that raises funds to provide free screening mammography through the Pink Fund for uninsured and under-insured women in the community.
By now you’ve probably seen the Pink hue spreading across participating towns in Monmouth and Ocean counties. This year’s month-long campaign includes numerous signature events that all MAY 1 – JUNE 1, 2013 culminate with the Party for Pink on Friday, May 31 at Navesink Country Club in Pinktown (Middletown) and hosted by the Care to Give Council of Riverview Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital. Party for Pink is a fun-filled fundraiser with dinner, drinks, and dancing to the music of NYC party band Total Soul playing everything from Motown sounds and today’s pop favorites to the jazz and big band standards of the 1940’s. This year’s event honors Tria Deibert, Director of Marketing for Riverview Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital and leader in the campaign, who will receive the Pink Visionary Award and Sally Harris, the very first Paint the Town Pink committee member, who will receive the Pink Volunteer Award. Sally is from Pink Grove (Ocean Grove). 2013 marks her seventh year on the Pink committee and, most importantly, the seventh year that she is cancer free. Sally is a firm believer in annual mammograms after a routine mammography in 2006 resulted in early detection of “something suspicious” in one breast. Tickets for Party for Pink are $75. Reservations are limited. To purchase tickets call 855-PINK411. The Pink Fund provides mammography for uninsured or under-insured women in our community.

May 14 – June 14, 2013
“FLICK” GALA MONTH at THE BASIE Count Basie Theatre announced its 2013 annual gala… “Flick” —a celebration of film and the New Jersey film industry. Kicking-off May 14 with a FREE screening of the documentary film, “Sound City,” the month-long tribute culminates on June 14 with a gala and concert starring film music composer, Randy Newman. “Flick” events during the month include a Q & A “actor’s studio” type of evening with Joe Pantoliano “Joey Pants” on June 6, curated by John Bathke. Proceeds of the gala will help upgrade the Basie with digital and satellite technology. “The Count Basie Theatre has a rich history of film since its inception,” said CEO Adam Philipson, “this event will honor the contributions of film and filmmakers in the State— from directors to grips—and help move us into the 21st Century.” Randy Newman Gala Concert June 14 Randy Newman has won two Academy Awards (in 2002 for “If I Didn’t Have You” from Monsters, Inc and in 2011 for “We Belong Together” from Toy Story 3), three Emmy Awards and six Grammy Awards and is a recent inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His own Top 40 success came with “Short People,” from the 1977 Little Criminals.
“Sound City” May 14 Sound City Studios was located in the San Fernando Valley, amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses. The little-known recording studio housed a unique recording console and a reputation for recording drums. Artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young , Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Kyuss, Slipknot and Nirvana recorded groundbreaking music at the studio. The film tells the story of the studio from its early days until its closing in 2011. It then follows Dave Grohl's purchase of the studio's custom analog console, which he moved to his personal studio, Studio 606.

I’m IMPORTANT As a Mom, I play many roles. I am the chauffeur, errand-runner, chef, and costume-maker to three daughters. Making sure my girls have everything they need leaves little time to take care of myself. But when it comes to getting my mammogram, I make it happen! I go to the Women’s Center at Riverview. Even though life as a mom on-the-go can get hectic, my children are everything to me, and I know I mean the world to them. So, with all the available technology and the knowledge that early detection is my best defense against breast cancer, why wouldn’t I make time for my annual mammogram? I am a mom. I am a leader. I am important. You are important too. Make time for your mammogram. To make an appointment at the Women’s Center at Riverview, please call 732.530.2305.

or something that’s designed to put its point across in under two minutes, the annual FilmOneFest in Atlantic Highlands has shown some enviable staying power—a quality that could never be taken for granted, here on a storm-battered Jersey Shore in which any of our fixed points of reference could become, as they say, “gone in sixty seconds.” Slated to return for its fifth annual edition on the evening of Saturday, July 20, the seasonal celebration of succinct cinema (presented by the all-volunteer nonprofit Atlantic Highlands Arts Council) commandeers the borough’s

panoramically picturesque Municipal Harbor for a unique event that’s a mix of the local and the international — with elements of the most sophisticated big-city arthouse offering, and the most festive fairground of a small-town summertime. When all those elements are in place— when audiences enjoy a gently cooling breeze off the Sandy Hook Bay, when the street performers and the musicians and the food stands set the scene for an evening of live-action and animated eclecticism under the stars—there’s nothing quite like the event established as the Atlantic Highlands One Minute Film Festival. It’s “a snap-shot of what is happening right now in our contemporary, borderless world of digital image and action;” one that cocreator and curator Robert O’Connor calls “a whole community experience— one that’s about
That same attitude can be found in the festival’s Spirit of the Shore Contest, in which entrants are invited to submit videos that portray the “rebuilding and positive aspects of the Shore, posthurricane.” With a last-call submission deadline of May 15 (and a top prize of $500), the newly created category is one of several in which O’Connor and festival co-organizer Beth Herbruck will announce winners on July 1, with prizes (including a Director’s Choice Award) presented to filmmakers at the FilmOneFest on July 20. Also new for 2013 will be technical improvements that include an enhanced sound system (as well as a possible switch to a 11x19 LED screen), as well as the festival’s firstever scheduled rain date—in this case Sunday, July 21, in the event that the FilmOneFest tradition of beautiful weather fails to hold. Close to 1,500 attendees of all ages are expected to watch some 60 short-short films from
events like Vermont’s Green Mountain Film Festival in March. Smartphone and tablet apps introduced last year have proven to be an effective way for prospective participants to make contact, with some 8,000 users and over 100,000 plays tallied by mid-April. With the help of businesses and nonprofits like Asbury Park’s ArtsCAP (who “really helped us get our act in order”) and FineLines Auto Body (who donated office and storage space on West Lincoln Avenue), the Arts Council is “doing really well, with a lot of new energy” heading into the warm-weather months by O’Connor’s estimation. Upcoming offerings include a planned series of living room concerts, an artist lecture series, and a “wearable art” show. “The festival’s a lot of fun…it’s entirely kid-friendly, and we’ve got the live band and a lot of other things to keep
Got a Minute? They’ll Bring You the World!
FilmOneFest SATURDAY, JULY 20 (rain date July 21) The fun kicks off at 10:00 am courtesy of a Craft and Street Fair sponsored by Atlantic Highlands Historic Society and Chamber of Commerce. FilmOneFest commences at 6:00 pm on a midway of local artisans, carnival-style performers and culinary creations from a half-dozen local restaurants. A live concert by Monmouth County-based singer and songwriter Quincy Mumford follows at 7:00 pm, with the films scheduled to screen beginning at 9:00 pm. An awards reception, with encore screenings of winners and other special entries, takes place at 11:00 am on Sunday, July 21, inside the historic hilltop Strauss Mansion on Prospect Circle (tickets to the reception are $15).
the community of filmmakers as well as the community of our neighbors.” Speaking from The Painted Frame, the shop that he recently relocated to First Avenue—having reclaimed the hidden tin ceiling and original flooring of the space that spent decades as a rundown convenience store—the video artist and painter reaffirms the significance of the AHAC’s flagship event as in keeping with the post-Sandy spirit of recovery and continuity that’s been “witnessed as individuals and whole communities rebuild homes, entire towns and lives.” It’s an attitude that extends to the borough’s hard-hit harbor area, where repair work on the devastated docks and waterfront structures has proceeded apace (the festival’s park area having been brought “back to normal” by spring).
dozens of countries (including the UK, France, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia and, for the first time, Moldavia) unspool on the big outdoor screen. The judging panel of film critics, historians and industry professionals includes returnees like TruTV producer Jon Crowley, online critic Joan Ellis, film editor Susan Littenberg, music editor Gedney Webb, and film historian Victor Zak—in addition to a “special celebrity filmmaker judge” to be named at a later date. Working with Herbruck and new AHAC president Maggi Morro (as well as former president Julie Gartenberg), O’Connor held “submission parties” every 3 to 4 weeks in the months leading up to the event to review entries—and went “actively seeking and inviting work” at

MEMPHIS PIG OUT THIS LITTLE PIGGY MAKES YOU
LOVE BARBEQUE
B
ack in Knoxville where Connie and Mark Strassburg first met in graduate school at the University of Tennessee, barbeque isn’t a food; it’s a religion. And, Connie and Mark are two believers who have been spreading the word here in New Jersey since 1985.
The Strassburgs are the owners of Memphis Pig Out on First Avenue in Atlantic Highlands that was deemed “the best ribs in New Jersey” by WOR Radio restaurant maven Joan Hamburg. This cozy Zagat-rated family restaurant, adorned with twinkling lights and pig memorabilia, is across the street from Atlantic Cinemas 5 (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are “Movie Meal-Deal” nights when a free movie pass for two comes with every two entrees ordered). The 2012 award for “Best barbeque in Monmouth and Ocean Counties”—after a heated competition sponsored by the Asbury Park Press—is the latest in a string of honors that the Strassburgs have earned.
RH3_13_PG38_49_Layout 1 5/2/13 6:07 PM Page 45
The Memphis Pig Out features authentic regional cooking based on recipes from the Memphis area of Tennessee, with specialties that include chicken, ribs and pulled pork cooked over hickory. According to Connie, every Tennessee town has at least one BBQ joint selling either chopped or pulled pork (pulled refers to being pulled apart with forks after cooking). “We introduced pulled pork to this area over twenty-eight years ago,” she explains. “Now it’s a staple.” Spare ribs and baby backs are the biggest sellers, but the house-cut Black Angus steaks are gaining momentum, with recently introduced pork osso buco and pork chops au poivre moving up the ranks. Southern fried catfish, fresh from farms in Alabama and Mississippi, is on the menu, along with seafood specialties that include salmon cooked on the grill and barbecued shrimp. All entrees come with fresh-cut French fries, a choice of baked beans or southern turnip greens and a 43-item salad bar that includes such south-of-the-Mason-Dixon line classics as black-eyed peas, southern potato salad, and bourbon-laced, housemade apple sauce. Other notable dishes include southern mac-n-cheese made with three different cheeses and Memphis-style chili containing fresh-ground ribs and three different beans and black-eyed peas. Not so hungry? Pair an appetizer with the salad bar or a burger or prize-winning pulled pork sandwich.
and corporate dining services jobs followed graduation, until he and Connie bought their own restaurant in Atlantic Highlands and all that experience could be put into running a place of their own. “Barbeque was something we did for fun,” says Connie, “but we were famous for the parties that we threw.” It took a while for some of their New Jersey customers to warm up to the idea of pulled pork, but their spare ribs and baby back ribs were instant winners. When New Jersey Monthly made an undercover visit to the restaurant and gave it a rave review, it helped a lot. While it’s clear that they take their cooking seriously, the Strassburgs bring a lot more to the table than an award-winning way with barbeque. They’re well known in Atlantic Highlands as good neighbors and great friends. Each year for the past quarter century, Connie and Mark have hosted a luncheon for Atlantic Highlands seventh graders as they embark on their junior high years at Henry Hudson
Clockwise from top: Connie & Mark Strassburg; restaurant interior; fresh strawberry pie; babyback ribs; exterior
Connie has a Masters Degree in food chemistry from the University of Tennessee. She is also a pastry chef, with a certificate from Brookdale Community College Culinary Arts Program and her fresh strawberry pie and Tennessee hot fudge cake prove it. “They’re my grandmother’s recipes,“ she explains. Gourmet magazine once asked for— and published—Connie’s strawberry pie recipe. The Memphis Pig Out offers off-site catering, table-ready for 40 to 400, with and without staff, from back yard barbeques to weddings to corporate functions. They specialize in parties, on site and off—rehearsal dinners, graduations, christenings, communions, birthdays. A downstairs dining room, with separate stereo system, can seat up to 75 diners. Upstairs has ample space for special gatherings, including lunch parties by special request. Originally from Vermont, Mark arrived at the University of Tennessee more than 40 years ago to study restaurant management in graduate school. Restaurant management
Regional High School. Mark and Connie plan and produce the luncheon free of charge, and enlist twelfth graders at Henry Hudson as kitchen and wait staff for the event. After all these years, Mark and Connie consider themselves naturalized New Jerseyans and bona fide Atlantic Highlanders. Though they still keep a home in Memphis, their roots go deep here. When they first arrived in town, they didn’t know anyone. The births, marriages and deaths that appeared in the newspaper were simply names of strangers. Now, they are names of friends. It’s a familiarity that comes only from belonging. After 29 years, Connie says that she and Mark feel fully at home. And, the pulled pork? That’s not a stranger here in town any longer, either.

The Twin Lights—a National Historic Site— was completed atop the Navesink Highlands in 1862.
THEN The highest point of land on the coast from Texas to Maine is in Highlands (226 feet above sea level.)
The first land sighted by millions of immigrants approaching America was the hills of Highlands. Giovanni da Verrazano of Florence was the first European explorer to describe in 1524 the geography of the Highlands.
1890 Plan of Highlands Beach & Highlands of Navesink
HISTORICAL HIGHLANDS highlandsnj.com/history
In September of 1609 Henry Hudson made extensive explorations of the Highlands area, climbed the Highlands hills, and traded with the Navesink Lenape Indians. His crewman, John Colman, was the first European to die in the new world of America and was buried on Sandy Hook. The first European settlement in Highlands was in 1678 when Richard Hartshorne built
his home at Portland on the Highlands peninsula. On April 12, 1782 revolutionary war Patriot Capt. Joshua Huddy was hanged unjustly by loyalists forces in Highlands near Huddy Park, touching off a major international incident. After the Battle of Monmouth, the British army under General Clinton camped in and around the Highlands awaiting a crossing
to safety and evacuation to New York from the loyalist stronghold on Sandy Hook. James Fennimore Cooper in 1830 used the hills of Highlands as the settling for his novel, The Water Witch. The Twin Lights, built in Highlands in 1862, was the first lighthouse to use kerosene, electricity, and the French Fresnel lens to reach out some 22 miles
at sea. It was the site of Guglielmo Marconi's first practical radio demonstration in America in 1899 and the site of America's first radar experiments in the mid 1930s. Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926, spent her summers in Highlands where she trained in the challenging currents beneath the Highlands bridge.

MOON SHINE
Be sure to let yourself dance in the light—or dark—of the Moon in the warmth of the spring and summer seasons ahead.
T
he Moon is the fastest-moving planet in our solar system, taking only about 28 days to pass through each of the twelve astrological signs, constantly changing its shape the whole while. Tracking the Moon’s movement and phases—especially new and full Moons—can provide helpful timing information, giving us insight into when to start new initiatives and when to look for things to come to fruition.
NOTE: The Moon's sign for the dates below does not necessarily match the sign of your own Sun or Moon.
NEW MOONS
FULL MOONS
When the Moon is new, it is not visible in the night sky, but it’s a great time to begin something that’s associated with the sign it is moving through.
When the Moon becomes a full, juicy orb, look for something associated with the sign it’s in to come to completion. JUNE 23 (Capricorn)
An ambitious goal gets accomplished. A mountain, real or metaphorical, gets climbed. Foundations strengthen.
JUNE 8 (Gemini)
Read a book—or start writing one! Sign up for a workshop or a new course. Plan a weekend getaway with your sibling(s).
JULY 22 (Aquarius)
A group gets formed—or you join one. Something happens that makes the world a better place. A dream comes true.
JULY 8 (Cancer)
Cook up some comfort food. Rearrange the kitchen. Start a diet.
AUGUST 6 (Leo) Have a party. Start
AUGUST 20 (Aquarius) Ditto, above.
a creative project. Try out for a part in a community theatre play. Celebrate something.
SEPTEMBER 19 (Pisces) You finally master that challenging yoga pose. A creative project finishes. Therapy brings a big insight.
SEPTEMBER 5 (Virgo) Spruce up your work area. Get a new job. Adopt a pet. Start an exercise program. Do someone a favor. Give service.

A WALK ON FAIR HAVEN’S WILD SIDE by CORT SMITH
RH3_13_PG50_63_Layout 1 5/2/13 6:12 PM Page 53
J
ust off the north side of Ridge Road lays a 77.43-acre tract, once home to Lovett Nursery, and acquired by the borough in 1973. The eastern section is called the Fair Haven Fields Natural Area, a 45.5-acre space fronted by its own purposefully modest gravel parking lot and signage. Finding the place seems obvious, but it’s easy to miss. The area blends into, well, itself. And that’s the point. It’s not a dog run (a dog is the walker’s guest); it’s not an instruction area (but the observant can learn a great deal); it’s not an arboretum (trees do live there, but so does much else); and it’s not a recreational area either (there are no swings, only trails). So what is it?
Dick Fuller, a former engineer in Advanced Technologies at Bell Labs, serves as chairman of the Fair Haven Fields Advisory Committee, a volunteer position he assumed in 2006. A near-daily visitor, he knows the Natural Area like his own back yard, two blocks away. Also on the committee are borough residents Barbara Bennett, Dave Bordelon, Dorris Moraller, Nancy Drake, Milt Anderson, Audrey Ingle, Jim Ingle, and Michele Loughran. All are active caring keepers. Dick points to a sign off the lot that sums up the place and the Committee’s philosophy for its management: “The Nature Area trails for us, the rest for nature.” Or put another way, by Dick’s wife, Judy: “Birds need a sanctuary, so do we.” And that’s what the Nature Area is: a sanctuary, a haven, a peaceful quiet spot to meander at the pace of one’s choosing. “Generally this is really for walking the trails, for listening to birds, observing nature, cross country skiing during the winter, jogging,” Dick explains, waving his arm to indicate the list goes on before adding, “Tolerance, not restriction, is the byword.” Here, trees, grass, and flowers aren’t confined to a land- and streetscape. Even trails—covered in a deep layer of what Dick calls “shred spread”—are not marked en route, though a map at the parking lot shows the location of, say, Holly Trail (392 ft. long), or Perimeter (4,202 ft.). The trails total 1.65 miles. We’re strolling along one of them now. “There’s a mix of trees here, some planted by the nursery—probably that American holly over there, or that Oriental spruce,” Dick points out. “Others are from birds carrying seeds or whatever.” There’s probably 40 different species throughout. “And as you’ll see, we’ve been busy planting our own.” Some start life in the on-site fenced-in tree nursery. Since 2009 plantings have included everything from Larch, American Sycamore, and Beach Plum to shrubs such as Buttonbush and Chokeberry. The intent these days is to plant native species; they’re best adapted to the natural ecosystems here and require the least maintenance, he explains. Up ahead, near an area of White pine—the result of a Fair Haven grade school seedling project from the mid1970s—is borough resident and Garden Club member Cassy Abel, walking her black lab, Onyx. “It’s nice to be in the woods, around nature,” she says. “It’s kept up nicely, the town does a good job, and I know it’s not easy, with all the invasives…” One of the biggest challenges—damage from Hurricane Sandy not withstanding—comes from these so-called invasives. “They can cause an interesting forest to become a mass of vines; a meadow, a field of weeds,” Dick notes. The land lay mostly untouched until 1987, when a pine grove and flowers in Morallers Meadow (see that parking lot map) were planted, and the parking lot and trails were built, at which time invasives were first addressed. Current invasive species include the herbaceous Japanese Knotweed and “woodies” like Multiflora Rose, introduced into the U.S. in the late 19th century for cattle fencing. Dick Fuller
“Birds need a sanctuary, so do we.”
Maintenance and improvements at the Natural Area are a true community effort, Dick points out, involving volunteers, the Fair Haven Public Works Department, Boy Scouts (Eagle Scouts have built a number of low footbridges), backed by Community Appeal and federal stimulus monies, as well as tree donations from the state Fish and Wildlife. It’s very quiet here, and clean—not so much the result of people picking up after others, but of those others not tossing trash in the first place. Over there is an old, hockey-rink-shaped irrigation pond that was dedicated to coastal conservationist Dery (Derickson) Bennett, just after his death in 2009. A longtime resident and former American Littoral Society executive director, Dery (along with Dick Moraller and Jim Ingle) was instrumental in securing this Green Acre-oasis for the town. Forever. For information about the Natural Area, including a map, go to the Parks and Recreation section at fairhavennj.org; or contact Dick Fuller through Borough Hall at 732-747-0241 ext. 219. 53

Good Food. Good People.
by OLIVIA IANNONE
Perfect Together at Balderose Fine Foods Anthony (Tony) Balderose, the former executive chef at Balducci’s—the famous food lovers market in Manhattan—is bringing his love of good food home to his own community with the opening of Balderose Fine Foods (BFF) on the bustling corner of Fair Haven Road and River Road. After months of planning, Tony and his partners— Bill and Kathy Dodge, Marc and Laura Feaster, and Tony’s wife, Judy—are ready… and so is their brand new store.
Tony Balderose
BFF is a neighborhood food market of the highest order, offering an eclectic and wideranging variety of wholesome Tony-prepared foods for everyday take out— from a quick breakfast to a family meal—and catering for any occasion that, recently, included the Ranney School Spring Gala.
“The food won’t contain preservatives or anything you can’t pronounce,” Tony assures, a pledge that extends to the Kid’s Corner where a variety of wholesome, kid-delicious meals are available for the younger set. “I want to make it easy for parents to have a healthy alternative,” says Tony, who has two sons. It was through his own father that Tony discovered his love for cooking at a young age. Hours spent helping in the family kitchen grew into a passion that, eventually, led him to the Culinary Institute of America and a career change, from sales to stove-tops. After working in several of New Jersey’s top-rated restaurants, Tony headed for Manhattan and Balducci’s for over a decade, and then on to the Gourmet Garage, the famous retail food emporium. But it was close to his home and family in Shrewsbury that he wanted to be. When the “ideal location” on Fair Haven’s busiest downtown corner became available earlier this year, it was a BFF dream come true. For Tony, enhancing each customer’s culinary experience is as important as bringing people together and being part of the community. Balderose Fine Foods is committed to making a positive impact in the area and working with organizations that include City Harvest and Lunch Break in an effort to alleviate hunger in Monmouth County. “Food is universal. It brings people together,” he says. “I want it to be a really welcoming atmosphere here.”

Hundreds of fans, friends, family members and fellow business owners showed up for Kelly Ryan, the owner of Boondocks’ AFT ER Fishery—the seasonal seafood eatery perched over the marina in Red Bank’s Marine Park. Kelly’s popular restaurant got drowned in SuperStorm Sandy, but not taken out, thanks to the Navesink Business Group and Red Bank Flavour that joined forces with The Oyster Point Hotel to throw a fabulous fund-raiser to keep Boondocks afloat. It worked!
“Thank you to everyone who came to The Boondocks Fundraiser! I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate it. Because of all of you, your caring, your generosity, we will again be able to enjoy lazy summer nights on the water eating delicious lobster!!!” — xoxo Kelly Ryan

THE TASTING ROOM A Real Love Story by CORT SMITH
I
f every picture tells a story, why not a bottle of wine? Take Beach House #34, a Sauvignon Blanc Rutherford 2011. As Anthony Faustini relates—and he should know, the wine is from his own Napa Valley winery and available at The Tasting Room, his new Red Bank store—years back, he was at the famously romantic Castle Hill Inn in Newport, Rhode Island, with his girlfriend Michelle. There, in the inn’s beach house number 34, he proposed over a chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. He would later make the wine to commemorate their engagement. There’s another one, a Cabernet Sauvignon called 1023. This was the time of day their daughter was born, in 2009.
Michelle & Anthony Faustini at The Tasting Room
Clearly, wine is very personal to Anthony and Michelle Faustini. “Each of our wines has a little bit of us in it, and they’re all handcrafted,” Anthony explains. “We don’t do a new wine just to do a new wine, per se,” noting that they started out in 2005 as strictly a “Cabernet company” before carefully branching out. Wine also is something the Faustinis are exceedingly passionate about. It has them running a small-lot winery in California.
is a recently introduced “sub $30” Malbec Rose, exclusive to The Tasting Room and “just in time for summer,” says Anthony. Anthony, a computer engineer with an MIS degree, handles global service accounts for Big Switch Networks in Palo Alto. Fortunately, New York is his prime territory. Michelle has been involved in sales at Cisco Systems for the past 14 years. It was she who encouraged Anthony to pursue his real passion. He gave her 30,000 reasons why he could never own his own winery; she gave him 30,000 reasons why he could.
“We’re bringing a little bit of Napa Valley right into Red Bank,” says Anthony of The Tasting Room at 43a Broad Street, a finely appointed 1,250 square-foot space, managed by Brendan O’Neill. Here, visitors can sample flights (tastings of multiple Faustini-made wines) paired with cheese or chocolate, and purchase wines and various related accessories from local and Napa Valley merchants. Wines run from $35 to $125; featured

WINDOWS THAT PROTECT THE INSIDE FROM THE OUTSIDE.
Keep rain, wind and debris outside. AndersenÂŽ 400 Series windows with StormwatchÂŽ protection stand up to Mother Nature at her most irritable. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have 24/7 protection whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re home or not. And unlike many coastal windows, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be washed or waxed to keep the warranty valid. We make coastal performance happen.
Performance values vary by product. Visit andersenwindows.com for performance and warranty details.
