Overflowi by CORT SMITH photos by SCOTT LONGFIELD

n the 1991 movie City Slickers, Billy Crystal and fellow New York-greenhorns sign on for a “genuine” southwestern cattle drive, where they tangle with Curly (played by Jack Palance), the tough trail boss. Everyone loves the winning comedy classic, except Tim McLoone. “That movie really bothered me,” he says. Curly tells the dudes he has the secret of life. “One thing,” he says, meaning they should do the one thing most important in their lives and stick to it. “I’m a cowboy, that’s who I am,” Curly explains. It made Tim’s skin crawl. “I’m the total antithesis to that,” he says. For him, doing one thing is totally out of the question.

It’s Thursday night, 8:30pm. Tim has just wrapped up his weekly radio show, taped at McLoone’s Supper Club in Asbury Park before a live audience. The show is part Garrison Keillor and mostly Tim McLoone: interviewer, announcer, coach, businessman, fundraiser, philanthropist, musician, marathon man, family man. He sits at the piano, the South Orange native, his guests perched nearby. The show will air Saturday night on WOR. He lets slip that, by coincidence, his band, Tim McLoone and the Shirleys, will be playing at the Supper Club that very same night—drawing knowing chuckles from those in the crowd who appreciate Tim’s warm and witty delivery. The Supper Club is at one of his eight restaurant locations, seven in New Jersey, one in Maryland. “I have a really unstructured life, which is kind of cool in one way, but in another way not so much,” he explains. “Sometimes I’m dabbling, but most of the time it doesn’t feel like I’m dabbling; I feel like wherever I am, I’m all in with that, and I figure out how many hours it takes to do it well.” Earlier in the week he held auditions for new singers for his other band, Holiday Express, which he founded in 1993 to deliver music, food, gifts, financial support and friendship to “those with the greatest need for the gift of human kindness.” He and his wife, Beth, met with key restaurant personnel; a couple of band members were at the McLoone’s home in Little Silver one night to learn new songs; Tim strategized with his radio show producer—and that’s the short list. Each day, he coaches cross-country at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School. And nearly each day, he runs. “I can’t believe I was ever any good at this,” says the

65-year-old, an All-American runner at Harvard who last raced the Boston marathon in 1994 at the age of 46. As Holiday Express grew from a handful of events to what, this year, will be 64 in 40 days, and as Tim added restaurants to the original (McLoone’s Rum Runner in Sea Bright, launched in 1987 to supplement his itinerant-musician proceeds), he believed that “whatever my talent range is, it seems to touch a bunch of stuff and I’m always intrigued and always challenged.” What happened in 2007 became a challenge beyond his imagining. That’s the year Jack, one of four McLoone children, was diagnosed with leukemia, at age nine (he’s now 16 and in remission, enjoying sports, while Beth remains active in helping kids with cancer throughout the county). “It was devastating, overwhelming,” Tim recalls, the news coming in November, just before Holiday Express was to hit the road. Over three years of “vicious” chemotherapy treatments ensued, each session leaving Jack depleted and vulnerable. Tim and Beth became “frequent fliers” at the hospital. Tim McLoone, the consummate giver, was suddenly in need—a reality he tried hard to deny.

wing Holiday Express UPCOMING CONCERTS In addition to numerous private events Holiday Express brings to guests during its annual season, they also have one free and several fundraising performances that are open to the public. Tickets are on sale at individual venues.

RED BANK TOWN LIGHTING November 29, 7:00pm Broad Street, Red Bank—FREE

NJPAC BENEFIT CONCERT December 11, 7:30pm New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Newark

He had spent the past 15 years touring with Holiday Express and being exposed to “every horrible human condition you could imagine,” he says of their annual visits to the mentally and physically disabled, the isolated, individuals in addiction and recovery programs, the poor and the homeless, and children with serious illnesses—like Jack’s. “So I felt we were uniquely qualified to not feel sorry for ourselves.” Several events occurred that would radically change his way of thinking, which taught him to lose his arrogance and accept other people’s help. One day as he was getting ready to go back to the hospital, he glanced out the window: snow on the ground, Christmas around the corner. He saw his neighbors decorating his yard. “Oh c'mon, we don’t need that kind of help,” was Tim’s first reaction. (Today he comes close to tears just thinking about the incident.) Then Make-A-Wish Foundation got in touch. “They were talking about Jack getting a wish, and I was like, ‘I do fundraisers for Make-a-Wish, we don’t need a wish, give it to someone else.’ And they’re like, ‘You don’t get it do you?’ And I was like, ‘Don’t get what?’ And they said, ‘It’s not your wish, it’s Jack’s.’” Since then he’s loosened the reigns of control, confident of people around him. He’s still at the helm of Holiday Express, but instead of running down the details—“I’ve got to go out to the truck. Play ‘Jingle Bells,’ I’ll be right back,” he’d holler to the band—he can stay put behind the keyboard. It costs over $1 million a year to run the non-profit, and while there’ve been some lean times, things are looking decidedly better. Holiday Express, approaching its 900th event, is home today to over 110 singers and musicians and some additional 1,300 volunteers. It maintains the ability to create what the group calls “Holiday Express moments”—the transformative things that happen randomly at shows through the power of music and volunteers interacting with the audience.

COUNT BASIE BENEFIT CONCERT

“I’ve always said my job is to get all of our volunteers paid, and the way they get paid is, they get back on the bus and they’re like, ‘Oh man, I’m so glad I was there!’” says the man who brought them, who’s proud they’re in it together, whose son Jack, a junior at Red Bank Regional, is doing just fine.

JOHN DIAS TWO RIVER THEATER

John Dias is a bit of a theater geek. He realizes that not everyone shares his all-consuming passion for the stage, and that’s okay. He believes whatever it is that compels him, if others could only get a taste of it, they’d be hooked, too. “The sense of going on an adventure and trying something new is incredibly thrilling, especially when you get to do that in a close and intimate way,” he explains. “There’s nothing like it. You can’t get that on TV or in the movies, in the way that you can here.” It’s this illimitable enthusiasm, along with innovative program initiatives, that John Dias has brought to Red Bank’s Two River Theater Company since the former actor, dramaturg, and New York producer assumed artistic directorship in 2010. Rookie theatergoers are going, loyal patrons eager for more; the community has become increasingly involved; and the Two River Theater itself, founded in 1994, is now a bold blip on the national theater radar. One of John’s first tasks was to “recharge” the creative energy of the theater by luring artists—great talent from the New York theater community—onsite to utilize what his cultural venue had to offer, and make them feel they were a vital part of the Two River Theater family. It’s worked. The artists have come to see the theater as a place where they can do the kind of work they couldn’t in New York, while escaping from the exigencies of the artist life there to a place where they can feel free and experiment. Here, the ideas they share and the projects they pitch help shape the set of seven or eight plays Two River Theater produces each year. A recent production this season drew on the talents of Tony and Academy Award-winner Joel Grey, who directed Paul Osborn’s “On Borrowed Time.” John has also worked on cultivating a deeper relationship between the theater’s audience and the community and artists, through programs that serve as ways to facilitate that conversation, especially in regard to works in progress. “The audience is invited to come in, hear readings of new plays, and get involved,” he says. John also launched the annual Crossing Borders Festival, where Latino playwrights, actors, and directors get together at TRT for a week. One of the plays done in a Festival reading this year will be produced on the main stage in the spring. Today and down the road, John hopes that anyone with any inclination towards bringing culture into their lives will look to the Two River Theater first—as a home for enrichment, and for experiences to partake in and share.

DR. DANIEL GOLDBERG His patients at Atlantic Eye Physicians know Dr. Daniel Goldberg as a preeminent Little Silver-based ophthalmologist, a pioneer in the field of corrective refractive surgery that includes LASIK (he has performed over 10,000 procedures), and lifestyle implantable lenses during cataract surgery, along with numerous other corrective options for vision deficiencies and disease. What they may not know is the impact he is making in the field of research. His findings could revolutionize treatment of the condition presbyopia—commonly known as “aging eye”—that results in the need for reading glasses at some point after the age of 40.

ATLANTIC EYE PHYSICIANS

“Why, after hundreds of years of study, don’t we have a viable fix for this condition?” Dr. Goldberg says somewhat rhetorically. “Because no one ever understood the anatomy,” he answers. Until now. He offers a radical new understanding of this anatomy in highly technical findings detailed in “The Goldberg Theory of Accommodation,” which he presented to the Accommodation Club at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in June 2012, and, more recently in October, to the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons in Amsterdam. The response from the international ophthalmic community has been very positive. (To see a computer-animated model of Dr. Goldberg’s work on the structure of accommodation, visit: www.goldbergtheory.com.) “Accommodation,” explains Dr. Goldberg in layman’s terms, “is the natural crystalline lens in our eyes being allowed to move forward and backward, thus allowing us to see at close range, and then move immediately to accommodate long range vision.” Over the years, various theories have addressed the subject, and some advanced implantable lenses attempted to correct the aging eye; but nothing truly allowed the normal eye to regain the accommodation that it once had—because no one truly understood what caused the phenomenon. All this may soon change. “I know the anatomy— here it is, here’s how it works,” says Dr. Goldberg, regarding (for the technically minded) the structure of the vitreous zonule and attachments to the anterior hyaloid membrane. “But there are parts to the eye that no one before knew how they worked. Now we do.” He believes that, armed with this missing piece of the puzzle—a new consolidated theory of accommodation— the ophthalmic community can work on a surgical procedure, a new implantable lens, or even a laser treatment that, someday, may be able to remedy the normal aging process, giving us back the ability to be less dependent on or even completely free of spectacles for close reading vision.

KELLY ZACCARO Before entering the real estate profession, Kelly Zaccaro, a former Wall Street programmer/ analyst and now a Monmouth County real estate top producer with a 16-year track record, would volunteer helping family and friends find homes in her native New Jersey. “I enjoyed the process,” she explains. “It was a business that I thought I would enjoy, but had no idea that it would one day be my career and one that I am passionate about.”

HERITAGE HOUSE SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

“It’s not just about opening a door and showing a house,” says Kelly. For Kelly, it’s serving as a trusted advisor, expert negotiator and an occasional armchair psychologist—who can lead clients around the emotional bumps and protect them from the tiresome minutiae of what can be a very stressful process for all involved. Kelly embraces forthrightness, integrity, and the realtor-client relationship. These relationships often develop into friendships, and for Kelly, a steady stream of referrals and, ultimately, concrete results. These results have earned her recognition by Business Insider 2011 as one of the most successful agents nationwide and the coveted New Jersey Association of Realtor® Circle of Excellence Sales Award, Platinum in 2012, Gold in 2011 and Bronze in 2010; all during the economic downturn. “What’s challenging today is the shifting market and navigating the minefields created by the increasing numbers of bidding wars brought on (in some areas), by a combination of low inventory—especially homes in the sub-million-dollar range—and many eager buyers,” says Kelly. But the toughest part of real estate, she maintains, is negotiating the sale, keeping it together and bringing it to a successful closing. "I’m intuitive when it comes to knowing what needs to happen on both sides to achieve the desired results for my clients,” she says. And getting the deal done in the best interest of her client, consistently, year in and year out, whether it's a $350,000 condo or a $10,000,000 home, is what has elevated Kelly to the top ranks in the world of New Jersey real estate.

LINDA COHEN As a teenager, Linda Cohen never had any trouble getting a date. Guys just walked in the door. In high school, Linda worked part time for one of the first one-hour optical services. “They hired cute girls,“ she jokes, “and, of course all my dates had eye glasses.” But the job peaked her interest in the profession. She became a licensed optician in 1976 and continued to pursue her passion for the next 30-some years and counting. But, as Linda might say, who’s counting?

EYEDESIGN

She has no plans to quit, and admits to feeling spoiled, though not by the usual things. She does cherish living in Red Bank on the river, and being able to walk to her Broad Street business. She opened here in 1999 after owning similar shops in Manalapan and Deal. What she really loves are her clientele, many of whom have been loyal customers for thirty years and have introduced EyeDesign to their children and many others. “My customers tend to be very sophisticated,“ she explains. “They understand value and appreciate the wealth of experience of our staff that includes an optometrist for eye exams. All our highly skilled NJ Licensed opticians stay abreast of the newest innovations in lens technology.” “This place is a little piece of heaven, especially for those who have been in eyeglass hell,” she says. “Here, somebody actually cares and takes you by the hand, walks you through what works for you.” From the beginning, Linda built her business on a quality fashion footing. Today, in the elegantly comfortable setting of EyeDesign, you’ll find the finest fitting eyewear and latest designs available anywhere. Products include pieces from international collections few opticians ever see. The boutique within the studio offers cashmere capes, silk scarves, handbags and accessories selected by Linda during her trips to Europe every year to buy the latest in eyewear. “It’s so gratifying when people say, ‘Wow, where did you get those glasses?’ And the answer is EyeDesign,“ she says. “People don’t do that unless they notice.”

CHRISTINE SCHULTZ Whoever wrote the old Chinese proverb, “If you want happiness for a lifetime, help the next generation,” could have been thinking of families in the furrier trade. Christine and Robert Schultz, owners of Millburn-based Schultz Furrier— a family-owned business that had its origin in 1914 in Berlin, Germany before relocating in 1939 to Newark and, later, to Millburn where it’s been for nearly fifty years—know all about it: the continuity, the special transfer of knowledge to their sons, Ashley and Carter, who are the fourth generation. So do the previous owners of Winters Furs in Red Bank, a third-generation concern and one that, after many years of operation here, was recently acquired by the Schultz’s.

WINTERS FURS

But nothing much is going to change, says Christine: not the name, not the products or services, and definitely not the staff. “They’re fabulous,” says Christine about the long-standing team at Winters, some who have been with the business for more than twenty years. Christine, a Kentucky native, is no stranger to fur either. Her love of fashion led her to Bauder Fashion College in Miami. She graduated in 1971 with a degree in merchandising and modeling, then modeled until meeting her husband, Robert, in 1976. They returned to Millburn, New Jersey, where she worked by his side at the Schultz family business. Winters Furs, like Schultz Furrier, will continue to offer everything from luxury fur outerwear to fur-lined garments and accessories, along with beautiful sweater lines, handbags, and other specialty items. The fashion of fur is always changing, says Christine, with the once traditional dark ranch mink coat now given way to more casual sheared and reversible items. Services at Winters Furs include restyling work, repair, and now on site storage at Schultz Furier in Millburn. “When taken care of properly, and with a minimum investment, a mink coat can last thirty years,” Christine explains, adding, “which is excellent value.” Christine and staff work to provide the first-class personal service that she considers one of the most important aspects of the business. “We just try in every way possible to make the whole experience for our customers one that is both wonderful and informative.” While she, Robert, Ashley and Carter are new to Red Bank—a town that boasts one of just five independent furriers in the state—that is, happily, about to change as they settle into business on Monmouth Street as the fur season sets in.

EMANUELA ANGELO LA PASTARIA RESTAURANT

Poke around in the kitchen of La Pastaria in Red Bank, and you’ll see the requisite culinary equipment and foodstuff. What you won’t see is anything resembling a can, commercial jar, or frozen food package—no Birds Eye frozen peas (the only frozen items are shrimp and calamari, as per government regulations), no Green Giant corn in a tin. “I’m so used to making everything fresh, I don’t know any other way,” confesses the restaurant’s owner, Emanuela Angelo, now in her eighteenth year of operation at the villa-like site on Linden Place, and who, a product of the late 1950s, has never had a TV dinner in her life. There’s not one preservative here, but there are cases of market-fresh tomatoes and newly-picked peppers and egglplants, turned into homemade sauces and soups. (“I just made a corn chowder crab meat seafood soup, and took the corn right off the husks” says Emanuela, a self-taught chef.) She boils her own beans for the pasta fragioli and uses only live lobsters for the lobster bisque. Premium cooking wine, fresh-baked bread, homemade pasta (whole wheat, gluten free), the best quality olive oil...and the homemade sausage, well, that’s a recipe she learned at the elbows of her Italian mother and father in the kitchen at her childhood home in the First Ward neighborhood of Newark. It was Emanuela’s job to help prepare and cook dinner on the three days each week her mom attended church. “I loved doing it, loved experimenting and creating, making special dishes,” she recalls. Emanuela became very good at it, too. When she got married, she opened a sandwich place in Newark, which grew as she expanded her all-natural-food repertoire. Her dream of opening a “nice” authentic Italian restaurant was realized in the late 1960’s with Martha’s Vineyard in Clifton, New Jersey, her first family restaurant. Next came the Stone Crab in Belleville that she launched with her children and son, Philippe, as chef. It was a sixteen year success. Then, in 1992, La Pastaria opened in Summit, run by Chef Philippe. A few years later Emanuela and her children opened the second La Pastaria in Red Bank. “Forty years later, I’m still in the kitchen,” jokes the ebullient, ever-energetic Emanuela. “But it’s my passion.” She works at keeping au courant in the restaurant world, speaking with different chefs, reading about the latest food trends. “As soon as I walk into this kitchen, my mind is racing. What can I do today that’s different? Because I want to give the public something to talk about and remember LaPasteria by.”

RED BANK RIVERCENTER

came to RiverCenter in 2011 with a background diverse enough to make him well-suited for the job, actually two jobs: he was hired as director of operations, and, this past June, besting scores of nationwide applicants, Jim was tapped by the non-profit’s board for the position of executive director after serving for several months as interim head. Since then, he has helped put in place what he calls “foundation pieces” that allow for the implementation of programs and initiatives geared to bring new businesses into town and support the ones already here. A Jersey native, Jim moved to Chicago at the age of six. He received a college degree in music in 1992, and returned to his home state in 2001 when his partner, Paul, was transferred by his employer. They settled in Red Bank, eventually adopting three children. “We wanted an environment that’s always changing, offers cultural diversity, and where you can walk to all your errands.” There are, you might say, no loose ends in Jim’s life. In Chicago, an internship in arts administration led him to a job at a non-profit in the hospitality industry, which led him to the position of director of music and liturgy in the Archdiocese of Chicago, a post he held until moving east. Here, he explored jobs in the non-profit sector, and found RiverCenter—or they found him. When he’s not at the office, he sings in and is board president of the Monmouth Civic Chorus. One of Jim’s immediate goals at RiverCenter was to update various procedures (along with computer equipment), and implement financial policies. He helped roll out a new website, gift card program, and a new branding and advertising campaign. Jim believes these actions have helped RiverCenter grow, and serve as a solid base from which to launch additional programs and initiatives as they are conceived. The future will see a renewed focus on business recruitment (one of RiverCenter’s original mandates). “Our hope is to attract the best and the strongest business to Red Bank,” he says, “and in order to do that we have to convince them why this is the right place to be.”

weetest Sin Boutique is a little shop with a big mission: to make women feel great and confident about their bodies…all the time, no matter what the scale or bra size tells you. Owner Angela Courtney has been outfitting women for intimate apparel on a daily basis at her lingerie shop at 11 White Street (sweetestsinbras.com) since it opened four years ago. She knows, first-hand, that women’s bodies come in all shapes and sizes and is determined to share her firmly held belief that they’re all beautiful. “As young women, we grew up seeing a perfect 10 supermodel wearing beautiful lingerie in ads,“ Angie explains. “I'm happy to say that the the lingerie industry's norm has evolved into using more ‘real’ women and real sizes. The average bra size once was a 34B. Now it's a 36DD. At Sweetest Sin, we carry sizes AA to I, and a 32G cup is not an uncommon size. Both of the stunning models in our fashion shoot are DD+ women.”

Teaming up with locally-based Red Bank Brandi Grooms photographer Brandi Grooms—whose online with a client portfolios include “Liberating Portraits” on a “Boudoir Site” (brandigroomsphotography.com)— Angie has launched a new series of ads for her store that reflect true body types. The models were chosen as part of a Sweetest Sin Facebookbased “Model Showcase Contest,” an extension of the popular Sweetest Sin fashion shows. The most recent, held this spring at Taste on Bridge Avenue, Red Bank, was a sold-out event that raised more than a thousand dollars for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. In 2011, Angie teamed up with Chris Paseka of Sugarush on East Front Street and other local Red Bank business owners to raise money and awareness in the fight against self-detectable cancers. “Go Naked and Check Yourself” was the result—including a Sweetest Sin-inspired-real-models fashion show—that has raised almost $20,000 for the cause. This year’s event on Sunday, November 24 at red has more than forty Red Bank businesses participating and Red Bank RiverCenter as one of the sponsors (facebook.com/Check.Yourself.Event).

“I get such pleasure out of the business I’m in,“ says Angie. “When I see the response of women looking at our models and saying ‘I could look great like that,’ it’s fantastic! Beautiful lingerie is for all women, all shapes & sizes. Every woman deserves to feel like a model.” 25

GALLERIA GOLD C O M PA N Y ALL THAT GLITTERS

by OLIVIA IANNONE

For Frank Ryan, owner of Galleria Gold Company in The Galleria Red Bank, decking the halls of the historic Eisner Building for the holidays heralds his favorite season of the year…and he’s been happily doing it since his fine jewelry store first opened in the charming breezeway of Galleria Shops twenty years ago. For more than a dozen of those years, Frank has been in charge of the Angel Tree, a time-honored holiday tradition at The Galleria and one he started with fellow shopowners the first Christmas he opened his store. In a partnership with the Salvation Army, the project collects and donates gifts for fifty children who would otherwise not find many—if any—presents under their tree. Tags with each child’s wish written on them are hung from the Angel Tree and, every year, the tags have all been taken by community “angels” who make the wishes come true.

“Folks return with the item asked for,” says Frank, “and often much more. People come in with bags full of toys and clothing. Some even bring computers or bicycles.” Frank is in charge of organizing the effort and collecting the presents. The children receive their gifts at a party hosted by the Salvation Army. “It’s really wonderful and amazing,” he says, while getting ready to trim the Angel Tree again.

Santa arrives at The Galleria every weekend in December until Christmas to spread more cheer. Holiday shoppers can count on the unique boutiques in The Galleria for that special something for all those special someones and Frank Ryan knows he can help them find a gem of a gift at Galleria Gold Company. His ever-changing selection of fine sterling silver, gold and platinum jewelry and custom designs includes Italian 22K vermeil sterling silver beaded jewelry with various texture finishes and colorful semi precious beads by designer Edna Haak.

Above all, though, Christmas at The Galleria is about tradition for Frank Ryan—the warm glow of the holiday spirit, the steady stream of people bubbling through the shops, the twinkle of the Angel Tree that will put a sparkle in the eyes of so many children.“It’s a time of year for giving and receiving, “ he says “I love the season. The holidays bring out the best in people.”

SANTA

BASIE’S WORKSHOP by TOM CHESEK

t’s nothing less than the Capital of Christmas—the region’s premier venue for the Nutcrackers, Scrooges, Disco Santas, Hallelujah choruses and jinglebell rockers who give the holiday nog its spice. If the Count Basie Theatre trades on tradition this time of year, there’s still room to trim the tree with some traditions of the newly minted variety—and this year’s holiday homestretch finds some longtime cronies of the Count offering up new diversions from Santa Basie’s workshop.

RH6_13_PGS32_43:Layout 1 11/3/13 3:01 PM Page 33

IRVING BERLIN’S “WHITE CHRISTMAS” The weekends of November 15-17 and November 22-24 find the Basie’s resident community stage company, borough-based Phoenix Productions, putting a bow on its 2013 season of musical entertainments—one that executive producer Tom Martini calls “our best year ever for season subscriptions.” When the Count’s curtain comes up on the Phoenix staging of “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas,” it will represent a couple of firsts for the long-running troupe—not only will it mark the first time that the Phoenix phalanx has tackled this particular show, it will stand as the first-ever holiday extravaganza in the company’s quarter-century history (not counting a 2005 staging of the more intimately scaled “Nuncrackers”).

features two big rehearsal areas, in-house scenery and paint shops, and offices. “We’re looking to start getting it ready after the new year,” says Martini. “Our goal is to eventually do some performances there, in addition to the Basie shows.”

THE SINATRA CHRISTMAS BASH The holiday fun continues at the Count’s December 6, with another annual occurrence marking the birthday of an instantly recognizable figure—Francis Albert Sinatra that is, the Jersey-born musical phenom whose special day is celebrated in style each year via the Sinatra Birthday Bash. The brainchild of jazz scholar, conductor, arranger, and producer Joe “Mooche” Muccioli (of the Red Bank nonprofit Jazz Arts Project), the

prolific career. Boomers of a certain age might be interested as well in one of the guest vocalists headlining the event— Michelle Della Fave, an original member of The Goldiggers (and The Ding-A-Ling Sisters) from Dean Martin’s vintage TV variety hours. The lineup further boasts a returning Red Bank favorite in jazz chanteuse Hollie Baines—and a first local look at Mario Cruz, winner of the 2013 Sinatra Idol competition in the Chairman’s hometown of Hoboken. “It’s a big hall, with a lot of expenses... but only the Basie affords us the scale to do something like this,” says Muccioli. “It’s a chance for singers from all walks of life to stand in front of a massive orchestra, with a thousand people in the audience. Suddenly they have new confidence; they really step it up and come through.”

FIND A PILE OF NEW GIFTS UNDER THE COUNT’S HOLIDAY TREE Although it boasts a score of beloved songs that date back several generations, the stage musical “White Christmas” is less than ten years old; having been adapted from a 1954 Bing Crosby-Danny Kaye screen vehicle that in itself collected some of composer Berlin’s most tried-and-true hits—from “Blue Skies” and “Happy Holiday” to the title tune, first heard in the 1942 film “Holiday Inn.”

Bash affords an opportunity for an everchanging cast of vocalists—from inspired amateurs to seasoned pros—to pay tribute to the legendary Chairman of the Board backed by the 18-piece Red Bank Jazz Orchestra, under the baton of bandleader Mooche and under the ornate ceiling of the hall named for Sinatra’s frequent partner in swing, William “Count” Basie.

Local stage stalwart Anthony Greco directs the tuneful romp of Army-buddy Broadway showmen, singing sisters and a struggling ski lodge—with Michael Morch in Crosby’s role, and Phoenix regular Jennifer Grasso as Betty, the role originated by Rosemary Clooney. It’s a production about which Martini says, “It’s in our sweet spot...it’s a new show, it’s classic Berlin, and it’s something that we’ve been trying to get the rights to do for years.”

As Joe tells it, it’s the most ambitious program yet in the eight-year history of the Sinatra event; with some 100 performers (including the Red Bank Regional High School Choir, under the direction of Kris Zook) expected to take the stage...and also the scariest such event, in that the Jazz Arts team will be handling every detail of the production for the first time this year, with the aim of funding their ongoing educational programs for young musicians.

It’s also a keynote to an exciting 2014 for the Phoenix family; an interlude marked by a long-awaited move from the company’s longtime Phoenix Rehearsal Studio adjacent to the Basie, to a larger space on nearby Chestnut Street that

As the newly rebranded “Sinatra Christmas Bash” further suggests, “this year we’re throwing in a holiday theme; adding a little holiday cheer to the mix,” drawn from the numerous Christmas songs recorded by Ol’ Blue Eyes in his

Lording over it all, of course, is maestro Mooche and the entire RBJO organization—a major factor in a phenomenon that the conductor describes as “that night, that audience, the cast, the theater...it’s in the moment, and you’re part of its creation.”

HANDEL’S “MESSIAH”… AND LOTS MORE The holiday season at the Count Basie Theatre continues with the traditional appearances of the Monmouth Civic Chorus program “Messiah and More” (December 8), Company of Dance Arts’ staging of Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” (December 12-13), the annual fundraiser concert by Holiday Express (December 19) and poet/playwright Langston Hughes’s “The Black Nativity” presented by the Count Basie Theatre (December 28)—as well as Christmas themed concerts by country superstar Trace Adkins (November 19), pianist Jim Brickman (December 8), and the Celtic combo Danu (December 13).

STARS OF

WONDER

n this darkening time of the year, as we await the return of the light that grows longer and stronger with each passing day after the winter solstice, I’ve been thinking about the importance of the “star” part of the word astrology (which, translated from the Greek, literally means “star talk.”)

For example, consider the Star of Bethlehem. Although there is controversy about the exact birth date of Jesus Christ, there is general consensus that a great star hanging over the town of Bethlehem led the three wise men, or magi, to his birthplace. They believed that the star designated the fulfillment of an important prophecy. In those times, anything cosmically unusual or spectacular was considered to be a sign or omen, and a star such as the one that led the magi was certainly of a magnitude to merit serious consideration. The Hebrew prophets and wise men were great astrological interpreters, and some of their methods still work today. To be a magus meant that one had knowledge of astronomy and astrology (which were the same thing until the invention of the telescope in the late 1800s) in one’s arsenal of wisdom. That is, they studied not only the stars and the planets themselves, but the meanings behind the cosmic movements and events. There are several theories about the astronomical event underlying the appearance of the Star of Bethlehem. The one with the most credibility is that it was a conjunction, or coming-together, of the planets Jupiter and Saturn in the sign of Pisces that occurred three times in the year 7 B.C. This was an astronomically rare event that happens only once in about 900 years, and involved the two planets that are at the outermost limits of what, in our solar system, is visible to the naked eye. There is much about this planetary event that makes it significant in terms of the important prophesy about the birth of the Son of God: • • • •

The rarity and spectacular visibility of the cosmic event; That it occurred in the sign of Pisces, which is associated with spirituality; That Jupiter can be associated with royalty, particularly in those times; and That the planet Saturn was considered to be the protector of the Jews.

This led me to consideration of the Star of David, an astrological configuration created by an extremely rare, harmonious alignment of six or more planets. It confers not only great mysticism and spirituality, but also enormous protection, potential, opportunity, and communication ability. “Connecting the dots” of the planetary placements creates the Star of David, named for King David who is said to have been born with this pattern in his birth chart. Considering that, at that time, only six planets were visible to the naked eye, it was an even rarer recognized occurrence than it is now. To the Hebrew prophets, it signified that a great event, in this instance a birth, had occurred. Interestingly, in late July–early August 2013, the Star of David was created by seven planets in earth and water signs, indicating the power and potential to manifest (earth) our dreams and visions (water.) There will be another such alignment in 2014–2015, but after that we will have to wait 100 years for it to occur again. We can sure use a Star of Wonder in these times, can’t we?

A Star of Wonder, indeed.

Thanks to early detection from a routine mammogram and the expertise of Meridian Cancer Care and Riverview Medical Center, Betty quickly got back to enjoying life. She was even able to attend her grandson’s baseball game just days after her surgery. Betty with her husband, Mike, and grandchildren, James and Chloe.

STAYING HEALTHY by CAITLIN COYLE for Riverview Medical Center

Cornerstones for a Cancer-Free Life

e hear a lot about prevention and wellness for fighting off conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and many of the same preventative measures can be applied to reducing the risk of cancer—regular exercise, good nutrition, and regular check-ups. Cancer cannot be prevented and it does not discriminate, which is why it is important to do everything you can to stay healthy and try to lower the risks of getting cancer.

Diet and exercise will always be at the cornerstone of a healthy life. According to Denis Fitzgerald, M.D., a board certified oncologist on staff at Riverview Medical Center and part of Meridian Cancer Care, being overweight and inactive could increase the risk of developing cancers of the prostate, cervix, kidney, breast, and more. By incorporating more exercise in your daily life, you could help lower that risk. “30 minutes of moderate exercise per day, five days a week should be the goal for the average adult,” says Dr. Fitzgerald. “Exercise doesn’t necessarily mean going to the gym either, it could be as simple as incorporating it into your daily routine around the house or the office.” On the nutrition front, there are studies being done that may suggest certain components of food may play a role in reducing one’s risk of cancer. “Maintaining a well-balanced diet is good practice in the prevention of any disease. When it comes to cancer, try to eat two cups of fruit and two and a half cups of vegetables daily, as well as plenty of grains—half of which are whole grain,” says Dr. Fitzgerald. Finally, one of the most important measures that you can take is diligence about early detection. “While early detection will not prevent cancer from developing, it can help in preventing it from getting worse,” Dr. Fitzgerald says. “Many cancers, especially breast, prostate, and colon cancers are treatable, if they are detected early.” For women, that means getting an annual mammogram, periodic Pap smear and regular breast exams; for younger, at-risk men, prostate exams (PSA tests); and, for all adults, a colonoscopy. “Be sure to talk to your physician about when you should begin getting screened for certain cancers, and make it a priority to go for the regularly scheduled tests.” For more information or to find a physician, visit MeridianCancerCareNJ.com or call 1.800.560.9990.

I’m IMPORTANT I believe in the power of early detection. I lost my husband to colon cancer at a young age. So, while my health has always been important, it is even more important now. I am my children’s only parent and their biggest cheerleader. They also know that Mom is a strong advocate for preventative medicine.

That is why I make it a priority to visit the Women’s Center at Riverview. The Center rivals any in New York or New Jersey. I feel incredibly lucky to have Dr. Won right here in our community. I continue to put my health in her hands because I believe she is the best. I am a parent. I am an advocate. 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 visit www.RiverviewMedicalCenter.com/WomensCenter

Wonder Women Rocking Sheep/ Cloud Kissed Kids

by CJ ANSORGE

atlantic highlands ichelle Sciria, the owner of Freedom Pottery, and Terje Jaamann, the owner of Cloud Kissed Kids—two highly creative businesses in Atlantic Highlands—have more than First Avenue addresses in common. They are kindred spirits when it comes to kids and community and sparking the electric, elusive, but oh-so-essential quality of wonder in everything and everybody they touch.

Michelle was the first to arrive in town in 2010, opening the original Atlantic Highlands location of her art studio/ gallery/boutique in the 600 sq ft space at #139 First Avenue that now houses Cloud Kissed Kids. Today, Freedom Pottery occupies more than 1000 square feet a few doors down the avenue at #135. The airy, light-filled studio has five pottery wheels, a pottery kiln for firing pieces, projects in progress, art tables, paint pots, pounds and pounds of raw clay…it’s a veritable wonderland of creative possibility with Michelle Sciria happily at the center as the catalyst. A certified art teacher who has taught in public elementary and middle schools, as well as at Brookdale Community College, Michelle has a BFA and MFA in ceramics. Her own work is on display and for sale, ceramic pieces that the potter says hold healing Michelle Sciria, above, owner of Freedom Pottery; properties she designed into the work. “The feeling you get in the creative surrounded by her work and her students, process and the relationship to medium give a sense of empowerment and (left, right and below). pleasure,” she explains. “My own art work is ‘freedom pottery’ and this is the studio where I share this with my people.” And share it she does. In workshops, classes, and birthday parties...with little kids, big kids and grown-ups...moms and dads and grandparents... “Everybody is an artist with an inherent need to create,” Michelle says. “We’re all born that way. It’s just that as we get older, we can forget, but we all need it.” The studio is open all year round with specially themed lessons and workshops for the different seasons and holidays, including hand-built Thanksgiving platters and Christmas and holiday ornaments. Michelle’s favorite thing is to make connections: “I provide all the tools to be successful and step back and let them have their own relationship to the materials...little kids dealing with things, just like big kids and adults.”

That same sense of joyful participation in the happiness of others fills the air—and every available inch of floor space—at Cloud Kissed Kids. Terje (pronounded like Perrier, as in the sparkling water) Jaamann was born in Estonia, off the coast of the Baltic Sea. “When I was growing up in Estonia, it was occupied by the Soviet Union,“ Terje recalls. “Everybody had the same stuff. There was no creativity allowed.” For an insuppressibly creative young girl who would make her flip-flops out of linoleum, coming to the United States couldn’t come a moment too soon. In 1996, Terje arrived here at the age of twenty-six, bursting with talent that lead her to a BFA in Interior Design from the New School, a successful career as an interior designer, furniture making, computer graphics...and, six years ago, the birth of her daughter, Sky-Rose, the inspiration for a dream-store-come-true called Cloud Kissed Kids in Atlantic Highlands and its companion online business, cloudkissedkids.com. Cloud Kissed is multi-dimensional center that includes Cloud Kissed DESIGN to “create dreamlike personal spaces for every stage of your child’s life, from baby to tween to teen,” and the Cloud Kissed STORE, bursting at its seams with toys, apparel, gifts, furniture, bedding, rugs, and more, for infants to preteens. The selection at Cloud Kissed on First is a breath-taking array of items—eco-friendly, design-oriented, and all with “its own special spark” according to Terje. International, world-beat brands are mixed with one-of-a-kinds from artisans and artists, including the ebullient Terje herself. Both Terje and Michelle have found a home in Atlantic Highlands for their families and their businesses. “This town is raw like the clay,” say Michelle. “There’s an energy here, an underlying buzz that makes for a very special, very creative, fun and interesting and easy place to have a business. I wouldn’t have Freedom Pottery anywhere else.” For Terje, Atlantic Highlands is simply everything Estonia wasn’t.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS SEAN HORAN Chili Champ | Chilifest 2013

Sean Horan’s Boomerang Chili (“because you keep coming back for more”) took the “Best in ‘Fest” top prize (his first win, second-time entry) this year at the Atlantic Highlands Front Porch Club 9th Annual Chilifest held at the historic Strauss Mansion. With 39 chili cook-off competitors and 500-plus attendees, the event raised over $16,000 to benefit Henry Hudson Regional School and other community organizations. Champion chili (Sean’s secret ingredient is...anchovies!) comes Sean and Renae Horan naturally to Sean who is in the business of champions. As founder PHOTO: Charlotte Magee and director of the North East Rugby Olympic Development Academy (NERODA), he is responsible for finding top rugby talent for the U.S. team to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. He is also the Director of Athletics at Kings College in Manhattan. Sean, his Australian-born wife, Renae (who named Boomerang Chili) and their daughter, Shannon and son, TJ, have lived in Atlantic Highlands since 2007 where they love to “keep coming back for more.”
