ASKED AND ANSWERED Jill Neubauer has been an architect on the Cape & Islands for three decades and has incorporated green building practices in her design and in her own firm for just as long. So, in addition to the clients’ vision and site location, care for the environment plays an important factor when her Falmouth firm, Jill Neubauer Architects, creates homes on Cape Cod. We chatted with Jill about what this means, and how she incorporates these principles into the design process.

Can you tell us a little bit about your background and connection to Cape Cod? I grew up in Wisconsin and came east for college. I originally came to the Cape for what I thought would be a short visit—and that was in 1988! I’ve come to respect and love the Cape as a place to live and practice architecture.

Did you always know you wanted to become an architect – what was that professional journey like for you?

Yes, I’ve always wanted to be an architect. When I was very young, I drew floor plans and houses and loved to visit friends who had interesting homes. I did not study architecture at the undergraduate level because I wanted to pursue liberal arts and studio arts before studying architecture. One path toward becoming an architect is to 2

earn an undergraduate degree in any discipline and then undertake a Masters of Architecture degree in 3. 5 additional years. It’s a longer journey, but when it’s possible, it’s very rewarding. I received my BFA from Cornell in 1983 and my Masters in Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of design in 1988. After school I was fortunate to work for a professor from Harvard who had a small practice on the Vineyard. I then worked for another office before becoming registered and starting my own firm in 1994.

What kind of projects do you work on here on the Cape? Do you have a favorite?

We work on all residential projects, and they vary in size and scope form very modest renovations under $50,000 to new homes that might take up to four years to design

and build. We support the local architecture, doing many renovations of seaside homes, but we have also enjoyed designing and building new modern homes.

My favorite type of projects fall into two very different categories: Restoring and refurbishing historic homes giving them a new life, and designing and building new modern homes.

JNA Architects considers itself a “green architecture” firm; what does that mean exactly?

Being green starts with a commitment to doing less harm and taking more care. We as an office have identified four areas: • Building a very well insulated building, so that we’re saving energy.

• Producing power on site.

• Using products and materials from sustainable and renewable suppliers • Not using toxic materials.

Being green means working with clients to reach the maximum and optimal combination of these goals, helping them to make better choices. Within the office being green means a commitment to continuing education such as being a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Being green is a journey and a commitment.

Is there special training for becoming a green architect?

Yes, it can be informal and on one’s own or it can be within programs that issue certifications. The USGBC

“LEED for Homes” program is tremendous. There are other programs such as “Living Building Challenge” and the “Passive House Institute” that offer training as well.

Architects can become certified in areas that advance their particular interests.

I receive all of my professional development credits through the annual USGBC GreenBuild conference.

It keeps me abreast of green design and allows me to connect with others who share my commitment.

Many people hear the term “green building” and automatically think it means it is more expensive and therefore not accessible. What is your response to that preconception?

There are many levels of commitment to green building. Some clients are “all in” at every level from the outset of the project, while others learn about green options along the way.

Each state has different building code requirements that require varying degrees of energy efficiency.

Massachusetts has a pretty high standard, and that puts a level playing field for all people engaging with the building project.

The cost to the earth is never quantified, but we all have a responsibility to build to a higher standard.

Therefore, we work closely with clients to save energy since that is the best investment one can make. It has a high return on investment, and with 40% of the energy used in this country going to heat and cool buildings, it has the greatest impact of all the components of building.

3

How have you seen the attitude toward sustainability change in your industry in general as well as on Cape Cod since you’ve started?

Yes. It’s changed at all levels from most people having been exposed to the topics to builders being more familiar with energy saving techniques and building systems to the code that is being written to conserve more energy. The most helpful aspect in our industry is when the codes are written to a higher standard because then everyone learns how to build to that level and they comply.

The Cape’s conservation commissions and their dedication to restoring and preserving native landscapes results in a lower carbon footprint than allowing decorative and non-native landscapes and large lawns to be built and maintained. This work is local to the Cape and the work they do has a positive environmental impact.

You are also a local environmental advocate – what are some things you would like to see happening locally whether at a consumer or public policy level?

One take-away from the Cape Cod Climate Change Collaborative Conference that I recently attended is the idea of coming together as a collective community to make decisions about environmental initiatives and just get them done. It would save so much energy and create a unified result if we were addressing issues at a 4

Cape-wide level rather than having issues addressed town-by-town. If we can work together, make Capewide decisions, and just do it, we would be moving toward goals of reducing our carbon footprint as a unified landscape and place.

Here are a few examples of decisions that could be implemented Cape-wide: • A 10-cent cost on all shopping bags in all stores should be implemented.

• Every business should have to recycle.

• Food service business that sell food products in container should have to recycle and use recyclable containers.

• Styrofoam food containers should be banned, as has already been done in many Massachusetts towns.

• Towns should have publicly available recycling bins in high-traffic areas.

IT'S ONLY NATURAL ANIMAL MASSAGE FOR PAIN, GRIEF & ANXIETY

by Melanie Powers

At Sweet Energy Animal Massage and Reiki I like to initially, if they are willing, spend as much time with the humans as with my animal clients. There are always tips I can provide to help deepen the bond between human and companion animal and ensure that the humans can provide natural aide when I am not there. We talk quietly while I demonstrate what I do and what you can do, naturally, at home. While comforting our animals we are also reaping the benefits of touch, lowering our own blood pressure and practicing being wholly present.

FOR ANXIETY

If your companion is sensitive to thunder, fireworks or other loud noise try Compression Massage. Compression is exactly what it sounds like, using our hands to calm anxiety. Using flat palms, we can use compression as if we are holding the animal together. Holding palms and pressing together on either side of the neck, rib cage, back to front, or holding and squeezing legs conveys a sense of safety and soothing. Using moderate pressure but being sure it’s enough to feel “held” imitates swaddling or hiding. Products are available to imitate or extend compression, like the Thunder Shirt. Remember also the power of Music for countering anxious environmental stimulus. Both Spotify and Pandora have many choices of music to soothe Cats and Dogs. In many cases the music has been arranged and selected specifically for what research tells us is most pleasing to highly sensitive animal ears. Search “Dog Music” or “Relaxing Piano Music For Dogs”, one of my favorites.

12

FOR GRIEF

Animals experience grief and loss. Symptoms of grief look similar to what we feel as humans. Your companion animal may withdraw, vocalize, pace or pant after losing either a human or another animal in the household.

There are so many things we can do to ease these transitions for our animals while helping ourselves as well. One strong and easy option is Acupressure. The relevant points on the physical meridians that carry protons and currents/vibrations through the body and organs can be held while sitting with a companion who is sleeping or just relaxing. Finding acupoints the human uses a fingertip compression and a pattern of holding and releasing the pressure. I can’t oversell how powerful this simple technique can be. Easy to find essential points for calming and stress relief are located throughout the body but you can start at your companion animal’s nail beds on the top of paws. Holding each and repeating can have extraordinary soothing and health benefits.

FOR PAIN

There are lots of reasons for pain and many natural options for alleviation. Natural solutions should always be used in conjunction with Veterinary care so we know what is causing the pain. There are natural supplements (herb, flower and plant based) that can provide relief and both Compression and Acupressure can be powerful tools. When the pain is caused by inflammation don’t forget one basic thing we would do for ourselves, Ice! Often forgotten when comforting our pets, ice can relieve pain of inflammation and the inflammation itself to allow improved rest and/or mobility. If using ice, always be sure it is wrapped and that you do an off and on routine gauging comfort.

EYE ON THE ENVIRONMENT THE PROBLEMS WITH RECYCLING

Historically China has been the largest recycling scrap importer in the world. But in the beginning of 2018 the country that once took in 80% of the world’s recyclable waste began rejecting loads of materials due to material contamination.

Recyclables are a commodity - raw materials that are bought and sold on the market – that are only valuable if they are utilizable. According to Kari Parcell, Barnstable County’s Waste Reduction Coordinator, “the reason things can’t get recycled is because they are contaminated and can’t be made into a viable product.”

Which is exactly the reason China cast down the “National Sword.”

This new policy has made quite an impact locally with Massachusetts based Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) scrambling to determine where they could send the materials they collect and local governments trying to figure out how to pay for the now increased cost of material removal. This disruption in the market has also forced municipalities 16

and consumers to examine how and what we recycle.

Most of us end our relationship with our waste when we roll our toters to the curb or make a trip to the transfer station, however this is only the beginning of the process of waste management. Cape Media News anchor Sarah Colvin, who is producing a video series that aims to track our trash, asserts “you might think you’re doing the right thing [by recycling], but it’s important to know where it is ending up.” The not knowing – the disconnect – is one of the reasons we are experiencing the current predicament.

Both Colvin and Parcell agree that “wishful recycling” has become a problem; people may have gotten into the habit of consuming more or differently because they thought the packing and packaging materials could always be recycled.

Unfortunately, this habit, along with the push in recent years for single stream recycling has meant too many people are putting things in

recycle bins that cause problems for MRFs such as plastic bags, food waste, and textiles, ultimately making the whole load unrecyclable.

For this reason, many municipalities are reverting to a system of separating and sorting recyclables at their transfer stations to make the recyclable materials more viable on the commodities market.

In the end when we recycle materials, we create valuable commodities, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy, and reduce our need for landfills. Thus, the goal for Cape Codders should be to take a good hard look at our consumption habits and examine how we can reduce the amount of waste we produce, as well as how to make sure they get recycled in the end after all.

For a more in depth look at our local waste management system, be sure to check out Sarah Colvin’s investigative series at capemedia.org

HOW TO RECYCLE RIGHT 1. Consume consciously

Consider not just what you purchase but the packaging it comes in. Can it be reused or recycled?

If not, is there an alternative?

Consider where is “away.” In MA, there are 8 sorting facilities that take your recycling from both the private haulers and town transfer stations. Human hands pre-sort trash and other non-recyclables before they are mechanically sorted.

2. Connect with your waste manager Call your waste hauler (if you have curbside pickup) or your Town Transfer Station to find out what items they accept for recycling.

Remember: just because there is a recycling symbol on the packaging material, it does not mean it can be recycled in your current system. The recycling markets change a lot, so make it a habit of making this phone call 1-2 times a year.

3. Look it up Mass DEP has developed the Recyclopedia, an app and website search function intended to help people determine whether a particular item or material can

be recycled. Check it out at RecycleSmartMA.org Other resources for finding out where you can send items (like CDs and DVDs, expired medication and computers) to be recycled are earth911.org and recyclesearch.com 4. Never bag your recycling Plastic bags are the number one culprit for recycling contamination.

5. Make sure the items are clean You do not have to spend hours wasting water to get a container spotless, but make sure it is in relatively unsoiled condition. Clean recycling streams are most likely to be recycled and turned into other goods for consumption.

6. When in doubt, throw it out This may seem counterintuitive to everything you’ve been taught, but it’s better to have a recycling stream that will actually be turned into usable material than it is to get caught in the habit of “wishful recycling;” if something is put in the recycle bin that can’t be recycled it is likely an entire batch of materials will be contaminated and will be unable to be recycled.

LET'S DIG IN TREATING PMS NATURALLY

by Pia Mezzacappa, Lic. Ac., MAOM

More than 75% of women are affected regularly

by Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and its changes to their mood, energy and physical well-being. For 1-2 weeks prior to their period, these women may experience sadness, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, loss of concentration, bowel disturbances, headaches, skin eruptions, food cravings, clumsiness, breast distention, bloating, and insomnia. Symptoms seem to be caused by rapid changes to levels of estrogen and progesterone following ovulation.

Many women notice that their PMS symptoms are worse in the fall. Symbolically, this part of our menstrual cycle corresponds with the season: trees let go of their leaves to create fertile ground for new growth in the spring, just as our bodies slough off unused uterine lining to start a new cycle of fertility the following month.

Here are some suggestions to help manage your PMS symptoms naturally:

vegetables contain a compound called Indol-3-carbonol, which promotes healthy estrogen metabolism.

Omega-3 fats found in fatty fish and flaxseeds, have been found to reduce symptoms of PMS. Try to include 2 servings per week of salmon, tuna or sardines, or try an Omega-3 fish oil supplement.

Vitamins B6, B12, and Magnesium help the liver to metabolize estrogen, and deficiencies are linked to increased PMS symptoms. Pumpkin seeds are high in Magnesium; just a ¼ cup provides a third of your daily requirement for this mineral. Foods such as potatoes, fish, chicken, and non-citrus fruits are rich in B6; and B12 is found in animal products, or in fortified cereals.

EXERCISE

Regular aerobic exercise promotes healthy blood flow, boosts feel-good endorphins, and reduces symptoms of PMS. Traditional Chinese Medicine attributes PMS to stagnant “liver qi,” and one of the best ways to treat the liver is to get moving!

STRESS REDUCTION

Yoga, meditation and deep breathing are all helpful to Minimize your consumption of red meat, dairy, manage the symptoms of PMS. refined carbohydrates, sugar and caffeine. Focus on lean proteins such as fish and chicken lentils and beans, whole ACUPUNCTURE AND CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE grains, and fruits and vegetables.

symptoms of anemia and modulate the stress response. Its ingredients are: Dong Quai, White Peony root, Bupleurum root, Atractylodes, Poria, as well as ginger, mint and licorice.

Acupuncture Points on the top of the foot, thumb pad and one hand width above the inner ankle, are also used to help alleviate PMS symptoms and help regulate the menstrual cycle.

FULL SPECTRUM BRIGHT LIGHT

Using full-spectrum bright lights during the winter months for 30 minutes per day was shown by researchers to reverse PMS symptoms.

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: JUICE We are all familiar with the fundamental pr incipal that incorporating the rainbow of fruits and vegetables in our daily diet is ideal for optimal nutrition. Each color, providing its own variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals, have enormous healing powers. However, in today’s fast paced culture, where nearly everyone is on the go, consuming the entire rainbow of nutrients in a given day can feel well, nearly impossible. That is why the Juice Bar scene is on the rise.

In the last five years, freshpressed juices have reportedly boomed into a $3.4 billion industry because people are incorporating fresh-pressed juices into their everyday diets. Americans have a growing awareness of the benefits of using food as medicine. This trend of implementing healthy dietary choices in daily life has definitely hit the Cape, where three local juice bars are meeting the growing demand.

JBAR – HARWICH PORT

Tucked just off the busy Main Street in Harwich Port you can find the JBar owned and operated

by Erin Tucker. Nearly 18 years ago, Tucker had the vision to move back to the Cape and open a juice bar. Three years after she opened The Fountain of Juice in Mashpee Commons, Tucker sold it, but never lost her passion for healthy living.

Nearly 15 years later, and now living in a different part of the Cape, Tucker opened the JBar Juice Bar

where she serves “100% pure, clean, vegan options”. Now its fourth year, the JBar serves a selection of juices, smoothies, healthy sandwiches, smoothie bowls, muesli bowls, soups, salads and medicinal shots.

“We want to have options that are simple, clean and nutritious”, says Tucker. “Eating well has really developed in a positive way.”

Although the JBar closes in late October for the winter season, Tucker confirms that owning a juice bar now, compared to 18 years ago is “much more sustainable. There is a much larger percentage of the population who have really taken to a healthier lifestyle.”’

THE LOCAL JUICE – HYANNIS

Jen Villa and Nicole Cormier have also seen this increase in demand since starting The Local Juice in 2014. Villa, who lived in Southern California where “juice and smoothie bars were on every street corner”, had moved back to Cape Cod and discovered

the lack of juice bars in the community. After befriending Nicole Cormier, a Registered Dietician, the two collaborated to create The Local Juice.

Starting out strictly selling at Farmers Markets across the Cape, The Local Juice opened their brick + mortar in downtown Hyannis, behind Love Local Collective, in 2016. Having just closed out their third summer in operation, Villa says “the demand for juice is definitely growing. We’ve had a tremendous jump from last year to this year because people are really expecting these types of healthy choices.”

In the last year, The Local Juice has also evolved to offer nutrient dense, healthy foods such as soups, treats, grain bowls and sandwiches.

“We’ve really been able to reach

a diverse customer base, beyond people just wanting juice”, says Villa.

Villa credits her partner, Nicole Cormier for driving the nutritional component of their operation.

“Having Nicole’s expertise really allows us to feel confident that we are creating the most nutrient dense options for our customers”, says Villa. “Our juice is intended to be fuel to sustain your busy lifestyle.

Let food by thy medicine.”

HOMETOWN JUICE BAR – SANDWICH

Relatively new to the scene, Hometown Juice Bar owners Megan Babiarz and Heather Wilson have experienced a great response from the community. Working off their years of experience in the restaurant industry and leaning on Wilson’s

background in Holistic Nutrition, the Hometown Juice Bar concept evolved to create healthy options for people on the go.

Currently, offering a vast menu of juices, smoothies, acai bowls and seasonal options, Wilson says their vision is to have “a collaboration of super healthy options, tasty options, dessert options, something for everyone.”

In their first month of operation, Wilson and Babiarz have been surprised by the percentage of teenagers that have frequented the Hometown Juice Bar. “I was not expecting to see so many teenagers in here – it’s been really great to see,” says Wilson.

As consumers continue to understand the importance of using food as medicine, we suspect we’ll see juice bars continuing to flourish around our community. We’re grateful to have these three delicious options leading the way. Pop by The Local Juice, JBar or Hometown Juice Bar and eat your way through the rainbow of healthy options. Your whole body will thank you!

#GETOUTSIDECAPECOD Lady Slipper Trail, which is easily accessible from the parking lot at Wiley Park, meanders around both Great Pond and Bridge Pond and offers beautiful vistas of both. The well marked, sandy trail is a relatively flat and easy loop, making it ideal for those walking with children. Thoughtfully placed benches offer resting spots where you can take in the beauty of your surroundings.

With various hiking trails to explore, plus the sandy shores of Great Pond, we think Wiley Park is a great place to spend some time getting lost in nature.

It’s not often you come across a conservation area that boasts a playground, restrooms, beach access, well marked hiking trails and fishing holes. But Wiley Park in Eastham has all that and more.

Just off Route 6, nestled among a residential neighborhood off of Herring Brook Road, you will find a sprawling forty-four acres knows as Wiley Park. This parcel, named after an Eastham selectman, Maurice Wiley, was purchased by the town in 1971. Originally very popular with waterfowl hunters in the 20th century, this conservation area is now frequented by families seeking out fresh water beach options, nature enthusiasts, kayakers and dog owners. (Dogs are welcome, on leash, after Labor Day – June 15th).

Nourishing Thoughts When you can appreciate being alone, you’ll never be lonely.

One act of kindness can change the world.

Yoga isn’t about touching your toes, it’s about what you learn on your way down.

When you feel like stopping think about why you started.

The secret to having it all, is believing you already do.

Nature provides the best fuel for our soul.

Think less and listen more.

Observe and live in sync with the natural ebbs & flows of your energy.

Good health is a habit you cultivate through daily choices.

For a centered spirit and calm mind, immerse yourself in nature.
