Future Vision of the Count Basie Theatre

by CORT SMITH

O “

ur feeling is that when this town, the region really, can come together and recognize what the Basie’s done for our community and can together say, it’s the Basie’s turn, well, we’re ready to go,” says Adam Philipson, the theater’s chief executive officer. His team is in place, and so are generous donors.

What’s on the drawing boards—grand, far reaching, and unprecedented in the iconic Red Bank theater’s near century-old history—is long overdue, maintains Adam, and makes sound economic and need-based sense. It includes some basics: Last renovated in 2008, the Basie still lacks an elevator, adequate bathrooms, space in the lobby. “Because it’s an historic, beautiful venue maybe some people forgive our inadequacies,” Adam allows, “but there’s too much community pride, and they deserve more.” He means beyond repairs. Over the past few years the non-profit has launched a number of initiatives to become a full regional center offering a variety of entertainment and educational programming. “Now we need to wrap a skin around what we are, and what we soon will be: a world class center.” 8

RED HOT MAGAZINE We Love Local

THE FUTURE IS NOW COUNT BASIE THEATRE $20 MILLION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

This “skin,” a $20 million project, is designed to incorporate (and complement) the historic theatre, resulting, explains Tom Widener, chairman of the theater’s board of directors and trustees, in a major “creative campus”—an entire city block— dedicated to the performing arts. Dubbed “The Future is Now,” plans for the ambitious undertaking include a second, multi-use performance space to be utilized as an educational facility, and a smaller, cabaret-style venue that can also be used as a standing-room venue for up to 550 people; a much-needed modern upgrade for the theatre’s backstage area (Harry Connick Jr. once told the audience, “It may look nice out here, but that’s not what it looks like back there”); new space for area arts nonprofits, partner programs, and the theatre’s ever-growing Performing Arts Academy; and a new, glass-walled lobby. Also in the works is the modernization of the theater’s plumbing, ventilation and air conditioning, including additional restrooms and the installation of energy-efficient fixtures and systems.

Continued from page 9

Maureen & Steven Van Zandt

Funding the project is entirely feasible, according to studies, and is well underway, says Adam, noting that the theater’s estimated regional economic impact of $17 million could rise to $30 million upon completion. By the October 26th announcement, fundraising had already begun (including a $1 million gift from Rumson’s Mulheren family, which has been supportive of previous Basie endeavors), and welcomed entertainers Steven and Maureen Van Zandt onto its board and as honorary capital campaign chairs. Both have an emotional connection to the venue. Maureen performed on stage in the Nutcracker, and Steven saw one of his first movies here. “It was my local theater growing up,” he said, adding, “Maureen and I are dedicated to doing everything possible to support it.”

Backstage, so to speak, is an “incredible” core group that Adam either “inherited” or added to when he took the reins in 2012 (since then the annual budget has grown from about $8 million to $12 million). “Together we’ve really jelled into this force that is the impetus behind and the energy that’s going to fuel this campaign,” he says. “I feel lucky that everyone has really taken ownership of our vision and its potential. We’re all on a team right now that’s about to win the World Series— and that’s a really exciting feeling.” 99 MONMOUTH ST., RED BANK | 732.224.8778 (OFFICE) | 732.842.9000 (BOX OFFICE) | THEBASIE.ORG

Future Vision of the Count Basie Theatre

Bravo! From left to right:

KAREN FRANKLIN

Director of Finance

The capital campaign and expansion means that we can do more for the community and build a legacy for our children. With this expansion, we’ll be able to grow our programming and deliver more world-class performances which will create more memorable experiences. This will also bring a major increase in the economic impact to the community and local businesses. MIKE JACOBY

Technical Director

Count Basie Theatre has meant everything to me in my lifetime. I started working here ripping tickets when I was 18 years old. Thirty years later, I’m still working here! This is a great pace to be a team member. Everyone works together to achieve a common goal. We all have our different roles to get there, but in the end we do it together as a team. IZZY SACKOWITZ

VP, Operations

I love hearing and seeing the response from people when I’m asked what I do for a living. “Wow what a cool job!” or “I saw

the best show there!” or “My husband and I had our first date at the Basie!” To be part of something that is such an important and emotional aspect of so many lives is very humbling. We’re very lucky to be part of the Basie. YVONNE LAMB-SCUDIERY

Director of Education

For 15 years the Basie has been my home away from home. The community is finally gaining an understanding of what the Basie is really about—creating community as it educates and enriches our ever-growing family of theatergoers and supporters. There’s a pervasive energy of collaboration and teamwork here that continues to strengthen thanks to strong leadership and a proactive board that is passionate about the Basie and its mission. CHRIS LOMAZZO

Facilities Director

I actually starting working here right after high school, as a part-time stage hand, and came back to work here 15 years later. The people working here just got better and better. Being in and around the theatre for so long, I’ve come to realize how big of an impact the theatre is in the community.

PRESENTING THE STARRING CAST BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE COUNT BASIE THEATRE

SHANNON EADON

Director of Development

I was sitting in giant throne seats in the loge waiting for Willie Nelson to perform, when a rush of water came under the fire escape doors and started to pool, ankle deep, at our feet. There were nets on the ceiling to catch falling plaster; water started to run down the interior walls, and the lights started to blink. A representative of the theatre came on stage and announced that the basement was filling with water and the concert would have to be rescheduled. The theatre has come oh so far! ANN CIABATTONI

Director of Membership

I think the caliber of entertainment, the breadth of our arts education programs, and the history of our facility make us special in this region. People in the community who love music and the arts rely on us. Those who love Red Bank and the vitality of the town recognize how the Basie contributes to that vibe. Those who have children in our education classes, summer camps, or in the local schools know we are making an impact on the children’s lives.

ANN MARIE KEENAN

Executive Assistant

On a day-to-day basis, I believe the Count Basie Theatre is on fire! There is so much energy here. We all work hard to make this a special place for people to come. We’re already being recognized as a great town and a wonderful theatre. This expansion will only cast that net wider and create a greater economic impact on the community, the region, and the state. JONATHAN VENA

Director of Marketing & Public Relations

I’ve been working in music, media, and live events for almost two decades, and looking back at my trajectory, I sometimes feel like I’ve worked all my life to get here. So I’ve seen it through many incarnations, and my parents have stories of coming here as children, too. I’ve brought my daughters here as well, so we’re four generations deep at this point. But nothing gets me more tearful than the idea of my daughters coming here someday and saying, “Daddy was part of this.”

hink you’re doing a lot of entertaining this season? Try hosting 81 parties for more than 20,000 guests in three different states in 45 days. That’s what Holiday Express is doing between November 9 and December 24 this year.

The nonprofit organization, known for annual holiday-kick-off concerts at the Red Bank Tree Lighting and its iconic rendition of “Nobody Ought to be Alone on Christmas,” is dedicated to bringing joy, friendship, support—and a rockin’ party!—to people who are homeless, hungry, mentally or physically ill, physically or developmentally disabled, or otherwise alone and forgotten at holiday time. Twenty-three years after the group was founded by local restaurateur and musician Tim McLoone, Holiday Express will pass its 1,000th party milestone this season. Every event features entertainment, courtesy of a rotating collaboration of 150 volunteer musicians and singers. And, like all great parties, there are gifts and food. In fact, by the time Santa makes his appearance at the last events of the year on Christmas Eve, Holiday Express will have served well over 13,000 meals this season (some events cannot have food due to guests’ dietary or physical restrictions). Depending on the venue, menus might range from sub sandwiches, pizza, or hot dogs with salads, chips, drinks, and desserts, to complete sit-down dinners with pasta, meatballs, salad and bread, or even brunch with eggs, pancakes, sausage and all the trimmings. At shelters and soup kitchens, where long lines form hours before the party starts, guests are also served soup or hot chocolate while they’re waiting. That adds up to about 7,000 subs, 1,000 hot dogs, 3,000 slices of pizza, more than 3,000 sit-down dinners, 11,000 brownies, 14,000 bottles of water, 13,000 cans of soda, 8,000 juice boxes, and thousands upon thousands of bags of snacks. The amount of paper goods required to serve this volume of food also is mindboggling: 45,000 plates, 52,000 napkins, 20,000 forks, 13,000 straws. Nearly all of the food, beverages, and paper goods are donated by area retailers, restaurants, or other businesses, in what Lorrie Klaric, executive director of Holiday Express, calls a “true sign of the collaborative spirit of our community.” She credits longtime supporters like Jersey Mike’s Subs, McLoone’s Restaurants, The Windmill, Salt Creek Grille, Merri-Makers Caterers, Joe Leone’s, Wakefern Food Corporation, Frito Lay, and Ronstan Paper & Packaging Company, with helping the group serve what, in some cases, according to Klaric, may be the guest’s only meal of the day. Peter Cancro, founder of Jersey Mike’s Subs, has partnered with Holiday Express for more than 15 years, not only donating tens of thousands of sandwiches, but volunteering at events with employees, friends and family. “The experience of volunteering with Holiday Express at soup kitchens, military installations and schools for kids with special needs has inspired our entire team,” says Caroline Cancro, charitable giving coordinator for Jersey Mike’s Franchise Systems. “Making a difference has been part of our mission from day one, so this really hits at the heart of Jersey Mike’s. Holiday Express helps people who’ve been through more than any of us can imagine. At the very least, we try to make their holiday just a little magical.” “The people Holiday Express serves really deserve the joy that these parties bring,” echoes Steve Levine, chief operating officer at The Windmill. Levine and his sister Rena Levine Levy, company CEO, have been involved with Holiday Express for over ten years, and will serve their locally famous hot dogs at three of the group’s events this year. “We are just a small part of the effort, but it’s very meaningful to us,” he says. Besides businesses, there are 1,700 volunteers, from school-age children to retirees, that help make the magic happen for each and every event. Many of these volunteers staff a 6-days-a-week assembly line at the organization’s 8,500sq.-ft. warehouse, packing more than 20,000 gift bags to be distributed throughout the season. The reusable duffle bags are filled with items customized according to guests’ needs, but often include personal essentials such as a blanket, socks, hat, gloves, and scarf; a toiletry kit with shampoo, body wash, washcloth, toothbrush, and toothpaste; and a candy treat bag. “Each bag is lovingly packed knowing it may be the only gift this person will receive,” Klaric says. “Volunteers are the lifeblood of Holiday Express. They pack and drive our trucks, organize inventory, pack gift bags, plan and serve meals, and are hands-on elves at our events,” she says. “Many of our volunteers play behind-the-scenes roles, but they are critical to the success of Holiday Express and their commitment is absolutely amazing. Our events include a fun and interactive musical show, but the gifts and meals truly make the events extra special,” she says. “Food is love,” says Jack Readie, a Holiday Express volunteer and member of the organization’s food and beverage team since 2001. “Serving a meal to someone is the ultimate expression of love and human kindness. And, that’s what Holiday Express is all about.”

Funny Things Happening at the Two River Theater 21 BRIDGE AVE RED BANK

First, the famously funny Stephen SondheimBurt Shevelove-Larry Gelbart musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, is the holiday show on stage November 14 to December 13 at the Two River Theater, bringing with it the big laughs and riotously raucous score that won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, when it first opened on Broadway in 1962 starring Zero Mostel. (It was staged again in 1972 with Phil Silvers, Josh Grisetti, David Costabile, Jeremy Shamos, and Christopher Fitzgerald in Jessica Stone's 2010 and again in 1996 led by Nathan Lane.) Williamstown Theatre Festival revival of Forum. Jessica Stone directs the Two River Theater production which has a funny twist of its own: a female director of an all-male cast of 12 (Paul Castree, Eddie Cooper, Tom Deckman, Christopher Fitzgerald, Kevin Isola, David Josefsberg, Max Kumangai, Graham Rowat, Manny Stark, Bobby Conte Thornton, David Turner & Michael Urie), including “some of the best musical theater artists working on Broadway today,” according to John Dias, the theater’s artistic director. Stone, who has worked as an actress on and off-Broadway, in television and film, for the last 20 years, began her directing career in earnest with her acclaimed 2010 all-male production of Forum that included—another funny thing—her husband, Tony nominee Christopher Fitzgerald (An Act of God) who now reprises his role here in Red Bank as Pseudolus from the Williamstown staging. As Sondheim, himself, wrote it…comedy tonight!

Something familiar, Something peculiar, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Nothing that's formal, Nothing that's normal, No recitations to recite; Open up the curtain: Comedy Tonight! A Comedy Tonight! Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim / A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

HOT BURRITO 2.0

10TH AVENUE FREES OUT A COOL NEW VIBE FOR AN OLD FAVORITE (AND MUSIC BRINGS THE HEAT)

RED HOT MAGAZINE We Love Local

L-R: Joe Fletcher; Ribeye Brothers; Holly Golightly.

by TOM CHESEK

tep in off the sidewalk of busy West Front, into the recently opened Red Bank outpost of 10th Ave Burrito, and it won’t be long before you pick up on any of the many ways in which this casually ambitious enterprise sets itself apart from the highly competitive pack, there in the ever-evolving dining and nightlife environment of downtown Red Bank.

It could be the food; the “Mexi-Cali” menu of popularly priced favorites that’s served owner (and Bay Area veteran) Brian Katz well at the restaurant’s big-sister flagship location in Belmar. Or it could absolutely be the bar selection; an exercise in eclectica that boasts more than 100 varieties of tequila—including at least one brand, Herradura Suprema, that goes for 70 bucks a shot—all lovingly curated by bar manager (and perfector of the Sunday Brunch slammer the “man-mosa”) Dudley Delhagen. Then again, the seven-days-a-week secret ingredient in this Burrito could be the ambience; a relaxed and quirky vibe that alternates small-party tables with community-dining picnic benches. As in the Belmar Burrito, a bank of fully-functional vintage pinball machines invite old-school interaction, while a wide-screen view of the Navesink lends natural light to murals of masked Mexican luchadores— and 1960s south-of-the-border thrillers (starring such masked marvels as Santo and Blue Demon, about which more momentarily) screen in continuous loop on monitors throughout the premises. Ask general manager Chris Masi, however, and you’ll hear in no uncertain terms that “The focus is music…it helps separate us from everyone else. Original music will always be our go-to.” What Katz and company are attempting to do, on a floor-level stage fronting that million-dollar river vista, is something that hasn’t really been seen around town since the long-ago days of Big Man’s West: cultivate a club dedicated to original tunes, including touring acts from all over North America and the pond beyond. It’s something that Masi, formerly of the nearby Downtown nightspot, sees as a mission; one in which “We try our best to change the culture of the town… and we do our best to be friendly to our neighbors.” It’s a calling that ties into a live-music tradition that has always existed, albeit to a relatively quieter extent than some other Jersey towns, in the borough’s bars, bistros, burlesqueries and sidewalk bumpouts. The 26 West Front Street building itself carries a heavy pedigree within the local tavernscape; having most recently been branded as Fixx—and having at various times operated as Toad Hall, as Brokers, as Chubby’s, and a few other names that slip through the cracks of memory. Fixx owner Mike Gilson, who retains the property and the liquor license, signed on to Katz’s vision for “something unique” in the neighborhood’s thriving dining scene; an approach that Masi regards as “apples and oranges” in comparison to that of nearby Mexi-eateries like Surf Taco and Chipotle.

To that end, Katz quickly set about assembling an attention-compelling live music schedule that has attracted artists hailing from such far-flung precincts as Toronto (Watermelon Slim), Milwaukee (Kevin Kinney), Denver (Megan Burt), and even Kendal County, TX (Possessed by Paul James). Then there’s Holly Golightly, a London-based specialist in gloriously garage-y, blues-infused alt-rock, and a cult-favorite booking that “scooped” many an edgy rockbar in places like Long Branch and Asbury Park. The windowside stage has hosted sounds ranging from acoustic hipster bluegrass Americana, to the grungiest garage-punk stomp—and has managed to make itself available to everyone from fully staffed Nashville country combos, to the “very amplified” guitar/drums duo, The Ghost Wolves, out of Austin, TX. That said, 10th Ave won’t freeze out the local combos this season; having already hosted the likes of Red Bank’s raucously rocking Ribeye Brothers, Shore surfmasters The Black Flamingos, and a select evening of covers courtesy of our own Grateful jamsters in Dead Bank. It all adds up to a slow-cooking strategy that Masi sums up as “not trying to be pretentious…we’re welcoming people of all types and ages; people who maybe haven’t found what they were looking for at other places in town. We’re going for someone who’s relaxed, open to trying different things…and who enjoys a $9 burrito!” Which brings us back to Blue Demon, the masked movie star who somehow always seemed comfortable in the tightly fitting second skin of his signature head covering, whether grooving at a swinging-sixties party or saving the world from robots, mummies or Cold War spies. Equally at home in wrestling singlets, polo shirts or sleek sharkskin suits, the man in the mask cut a profile that ran picante-hot and casual-cool; colorfully campy, yet somehow relatable to any audience—a fitting mascot for 10th Ave Burrito and its mission to spice things up here in Red Bank. 10TH AVE BURRITO COMPANY | 26 West Front Street | 732.383.5664 | tenthaveburrito.com.

Lobster Bisque

aunched in August, The Bonney Read enjoys an enviable location at the airy, glass-walled tip of the landmark Steinbach building in downtown Asbury Park. You can call the restaurant a great new place to eat, meet friends, and relax. But don’t call it trendy.

“The last thing I want to be is the new avant-garde, super restaurant,” says Executive Chef James Avery. “Trendy comes and goes; I want to be here in 50 years, a mainstay in Asbury, an institution.” The approach is contrary to the expectations of some diners who know James as a former tournant for David Burke at Fromagerie in Rumson; a sous chef at Michael Mina’s Sea Blue; and a regular on the FOX TV culinary competition show “Hell’s Kitchen,” to mention a few prominent past posts. “Intricately designed plates, that’s not really the vibe here,” states the Jersey Shore native. What is is simplicity. When done right it can be, as author Clare Boothe Luce once put it, “the ultimate sophistication.” The restaurant is deep rooted in the classic spirit of the chowder house, the northeast seafood house, James explains, noting the area’s lack of “pure seafood restaurants” like The Bonney Read in a sea of sports bars and pizzerias. While searching for a location several years back, with sous chef and friend Mark OsuneroLanuza, a mutual acquaintance put them together with the owners of the Asbury Festhalle & Biergarten, who made James the executive chef there and asked him to chef and partner next door at what became The Bonney Read. James already was envisioning “exquisite” renderings of traditional offerings like clam chowder, fried flounder sandwiches, lobster rolls. Take the latter, for example. The rolls at Bonney are Maine lobster—an entire Maine lobster. The humble entrée linguini and clams? It’s already become a signature dish here, made from pasta imported from Abruzzo, Italy, a pricey artisanal cured-pork product, Sandy Hook-fresh clams, and the best imported olive oil. “It’s all those little things I do that really add up,” James says.

Set Sail for Simply Sensational Seafood

That dish is a good metaphor for what the restaurant is all about: classic, straight forward, well thought out, well executed, and 100% ingredient driven. The Bonney Read also features an open kitchen, raw bar (shucked-to-serve), and a full bar with fine rums and wine varietals.

They feature their “Happy as a clam Hour,” in the bar area, all day on Wednesday, 4–6 pm on Thursday & Friday, and 2–6 pm on Saturday & Sunday. Also on Sunday, all day long, bottles of wine are ½ price, and they offer their 3 course Blue Plate for $30. The Blue Plate is also available on Wednesday–Friday from 4–6 pm. About the name. A lot of old-time seafood houses are, like boats, named after women. So when James and partners began searching, they started with anything that was female, nautical, and, hopefully, edgy. They stumbled upon tales of Anne Bonney and Mary Read, who in the 1700s captained the sloop Revenge down in the Caribbean, where James once cooked. “Why not name the restaurant after two of the most infamous female pirates in history,” he reasoned. “That’s definitely edgy.” Catch of the Day; New England Clam Chower; General Manager Sebastian Walker & Executive Chef James Avery; Fisherman’s Fry

Opa! Santorini Sunday at Anemos

ubbed “Best Greek Restaurant” within a year of opening in its modest, unassuming setting in Manalapan, Anemos Greek Cuisine has certainly staked its claim amid the deluge of restaurants in Monmouth County. Self-proclaimed “foodies” travel from as far as Astoria, Queens for a taste of Owner and Restaurateur Helen Arvanitis’ renowned authentic Greek dishes, and now they’ll have a new reason to head to western Monmouth.

“Our SANTORINI SUNDAY is not your typical Sunday brunch!”

Santorini Sunday debuts this month: a true Mediterranean brunch experience. Under the keen eye of Executive Chef Sotirios Kontos, avid brunch-goers can look forward to a variety of colorful Greek infusion plates. “This is not your typical Sunday brunch,” says Chef Kontos. “Our focus is on bringing Greek flavors with fresh ingredients to the table that won’t weigh you down. From our fresh-squeezed orange juice to daily hand-picked produce, brunch enthusiasts will be quite satisfied.” Tsoureki

Tiganites

Featured on the brunch menu is Tsoureki: “Greek French Toast”— sweet bread with caramelized bananas, candied walnuts and cinnamon whipped butter, served with warm maple honey syrup. “Our honey is imported from Greece. It’s thicker than honey here in the states, and is unbelievably delicious,” Arvanitis says. Other menu items include a traditional Greek Frittata, a live omelet station with imported Greek cheeses and fresh vegetables, a “Hangover Wrap” with gyro meat, egg whites, veggies and Kasseri cheese, and Tiganites (Greek pancakes) served with blueberries, pumpkin ricotta and bacon jam. Anemos Greek Cuisine is now accepting reservations for Santorini Sundays, as well as holiday parties and events. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday.

JASPAN BROS. HARDWARE

NUTS, BOLTS & BEYOND

othing says hometown like a family-owned hardware store that’s been part of the community for so long that nobody in town can remember when it wasn’t there…and everybody counts on it like clockwork. In Atlantic Highlands, Jaspan Bros. Hardware is that place.

Current owners and brothers, Andy and Chuck Hull, carry on the tradition that brothers Stephen and Dennis Jaspan took over (circa 1983) from Frank Siegfried who opened the first store at 117 First Avenue, Atlantic Highlands in 1925. The location hasn’t changed in 90 years and the warmth of its long history greets you like an old friend when you walk in the door. Jaspan opens at 8 every morning but Sunday…when it opens at 9. The Hulls are there: Andy and his wife, Donna, and Chuck and his wife, Carol, along with a staff that averages at least five years working in the store. The Hull families are third generation in Atlantic Highlands. Both brothers are in the volunteer fire department. Their father, David, and grandfather, Charles, were ex-chiefs. This year, Jaspan Brothers is providing the lights for the town Christmas tree, and putting them up. Andy’s worked in the hardware store since he was in high school in Atlantic Highlands. “We know the names of more than half the people who come in,“ he says, speaking volumes about customer service. “Living in a town, you understand what the people who live here need. A hardware store is different from other retail businesses,” he explains. ”It can be so many different things. “

“This is not a huge warehouse where you have to walk a football field and have send out smoke signals to ask a simple question. This store is generously staffed with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful people who know their stuff and can advise in more ways to Sunday on how to approach a problem.” * - Billy Vitale

Paints and Housewares. General and Marine Hardware. Tools and Tool Rentals. An original Siegfried Hardware Co. wall thermometer once given out as a store promotion displays a products-and-services list that still holds, but much has been added over the years. “We change our products to fit our customers,” Andy says, “rather than just fill a niche.” And being a True Value retailer helps keep prices at Jaspan more than competitive.

* Google+ customer review

The 3,500+ square feet of floor space is packed with time-honored aisles that are not merchandised-to-make-youbuy, but rather filled with pantry-style shelves with every imaginable household necessity simply displayed, along with all the nuts-and-bolts of countless hardware, marine, and building supplies. Benjamin Moore paints have their own department that was remodeled and expanded to become a “Signature Store” after the Hulls bought the business in 2003. The Jaspan family had modernized the store, computerizing the point of sale and inventory control systems, giving the current generation of owners a solid platform for growth. Whether you come in for a window screen or garden rake, a single wood screw or a toilet seat, house paint or plumbing supplies, a load of top soil or salt for your driveway, hand tools or housewares, Christmas lights or…you’ll get the same warm welcome and helpful personal attention that’s made the corner store at First and West Highland Avenues the hometown hardware place to shop for generations. 117 1ST AVE., ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS | 732.291.1500 | JASPANHARDWARE.COM

COMPREHENSIVE PROSTATE CANCER CARE

DIAGNOSE. TREAT. CURE. by CAITLIN COYLE for Meridian Health

Riverview Medical Center continues to expand its multi-disciplinary cancer program and technological capabilities as part of Meridian Health's three-year investment of $128 million at six cancer centers in Monmouth and Ocean counties.

ne in seven men will develop prostate cancer at some point in his lifetime as the most common cancer among men after skin cancer. However, thanks to increased education about the signs and symptoms of the disease, as well as advanced diagnostic options, many cases can be detected at an earlier and more treatable stage.

“A cancer diagnosis is a scary and uncertain time for anyone,” says radiation oncologist Adnan Danish, M.D. and Medical Director of Radiation Oncology for Meridian Health. With leading specialists and sophisticated technology like CyberKnife® radiation treatment and robotically-assisted surgery, Riverview Medical Center—part of Meridian Cancer Care—provides the community access to advanced treatment options. “And the capabilities continue to expand,” says Dr. Danish. In June 2015, Riverview installed its first TrueBeam™ linear accelerator that combines imaging, patient positioning, and motion management, with pinpoint accuracy and speed to provide the most advanced, non-invasive radiation cancer treatment delivery. It can be used anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated, including the prostate. Riverview’s ultrasound-based TargetScan Touch™ stereotactic biopsy guidance and tumor localization system is used as part of CyberKnife treatment plans for prostate cancer. “Fiducials or gold markers are implanted using minimally invasive techniques to map the precise treatment area,” says Dr. Danish. “The TargetScan technology allows us to use a hands-free, motionless probe in conjunction with 3D mapping technology, which improves the speed and accuracy of the fiducial placement and may reduce patient discomfort.” CyberKnife treatment then delivers a high dose of radiation to the affected area with sub-millimeter accuracy to spare healthy organs and tissues surrounding the tumor. CyberKnife is done on an Since its installation in June 2015, the outpatient basis and patients often return to their TrueBeam™ linear accelerator at Riverview has been daily routine immediately following their treatment. used to complete more than 1,000 treatments. Benefits of this treatment include no incisions, no pain, no recovery time, and a decreased risk of side effects such as erectile dysfunction or incontinence. Adnan Danish, M.D., Radiation Oncologist, Riverview Medical Center Medical, Director of Radiation Oncology, Meridian Health

“Access to the latest technology and therapies are important for patients, but what is also important is access to compassionate care and a full continuum of care,” says Dr. Danish. “At Meridian Cancer Care, each patient has an entire team of doctors, nurses, and clinicians working with them to identify the most appropriate and custom treatment plan. If further treatment is needed beyond CyberKnife or radiation therapy, a full spectrum of resources are available. Our team can continue to support the patient’s unique needs and care for them as if they are family.”

To learn more about the comprehensive prostate cancer capabilities at Riverview, as well as to see a virtual tour of the expansion project currently underway across Meridian Health, please visit MeridianCancerCareNJ.com.

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.

All About Animals BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS (Humans Included) The popular Pet Friendly Service at St. George’s-by-the-River in Rumson takes place on the second Saturday of each month through the winter. At this happy and fun event, pets of all shapes and sizes are welcome to be blessed individually by the clergy of St. George’s. Leashed or confined pets, and their owners, are invited to Ralph Hall, the community room, of the church (enter through the Lincoln Avenue entrance) for the service. Dogs (leashed), cats, parrots, fish, turtles, hamsters, or whichever pet you choose. Episcopalians celebrate the Blessing of the Animals on a Sunday close to the Feast of St. Francis, which falls on Oct. 4. St. Francis of Assisi was well known for his love of animals. Stories tell of him preaching to flocks of birds, dissuading mosquitoes from biting him and even convincing a wolf to stop stalking humans and livestock in Gubbio, Italy, where he once lived. At the Blessing of the Animals, people remember and emulate Francis’ example of love for animals. At St. George’s, that love is remembered and blessed every month. All animals and owners are welcome.

How Does Astrology Work? “As Above, So Below” by ALICE LOFFREDO

his is an article about exploring a question, not providing a theory or proof. With more than thirty years as a professional astrologer under my belt, I start with full disclosure: I’m a true believer in an intelligent, benevolent Universe that uses astrological symbolism to communicate with and guide us down here on Planet Earth. I’ve simply seen those energies at work too often and too consistently to question or deny them. Still, the topic of how astrology works never loses its intrigue for me. I recently read the minutes of a forum of well-known astrologers speaking to this very subject,* and wanted to share some of their observations.

Although it would be hard to establish a scientific chain of reasoning linking the placement and nature of the planetary energies of our solar system to physical proof of their impact on this planet and its inhabitants, the observational documentation of the phenomenon is, well, phenomenal. Since cave man times, people have been recording the correspondence between planetary movement and human and tribal behavior and experience. This continues until as recently as yesterday when I was bringing my client “We (scientists) strive toward notes up to date after an especially busy week of consultations. So one way to look at why astrology “works” is to think of it not as a causal knowledge, always more knowledge, but process, but as a powerful, accurate symbol system that describes this correlation. From this perspective, the planets must understand that we are, and will planetary/experiential don’t make or urge us to do or not do something. They simply describe potentials, challenges and options at any given time, and our use remain, surrounded by mystery.” of free will to choose how we will act creates the story of our lives.

- Marcelo Gleiser

Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Dartmouth College

Still, there are some scientific perspectives to consider. Quantum physics has advanced the concept of the holographic nature of the Universe: that the smallest component of it contains all the elements and characteristics of the larger whole. This is where “As above, so below” comes in. (And for the record, the Buddha was on to this idea c. 600 BC.) In astrological terms, each of us “down here” contains the microscopic imprint of the energies of the entire solar system as they existed at the exact moment of our birth, and we reflect their continuing movement as well. Then there’s the idea that interactions exist between the Earth’s magnetic field and the magnetic fields of the other planets, and that the human body, also being an electromagnetic system, is impacted by those larger fields around it, including our own Earth’s gravity. The interesting “icing on the cake” with this explanation is the fact that amniotic fluid is a good electromagnetic insulator. This supports the idea that the individual does not become imprinted with the planetary energies until the exact moment of birth. It’s all very interesting and thought-provoking, but I’m reminded now of a principle that I must have first heard in college chemistry: “The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.” At the end of all hypothesizing and theorizing, “As above, so below” is more than good enough for me. *Nasser, Rafael.
