WOMEN WATER ON THE
By LISA READIE MAYER
W
e’ve been reminded recently that women are as strong and steadfast as the sea, making waves throughout the world as social activists, artists, trailblazers, entrepreneurs, protectors, and agents for change. Our area has a long history of women wave-makers who take inspiration from the ocean and nearby rivers to drive their work, fuel their passions, and soothe their souls.
HISTORIC HIGHLANDER Ederle Park, a tranquil, flower-filled oasis near the Highlands Bridge, is the namesake of women’s swimming pioneer Gertrude Ederle. It overlooks the Shrewsbury River where Gertrude swam during childhood summers in Highlands and trained as an accomplished amateur and professional swimmer. She set 29 national and world records, earned a gold and two bronze medals at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, and broke the record for her swim from Battery Park, NY to Sandy Hook. But, Gertrude is best known as the first woman to swim the English Channel, a feat she achieved at age 20 in 1926. She was welcomed home with a tickertape parade in New York City, the first ever for a woman. Gertrude continued to visit her beloved Highlands for years afterward, even attending the dedication of Ederle Park in 1975, and its rededication in 2003, just months before she passed at age 98.

NAUTIGALS
Cindy Zipf
Book clubs and knitting groups may gather in living rooms, but meetings of the NautiGals women’s sailing club convene on the Navesink River. Based at Monmouth Boat Club in Red Bank, the group encourages women to experience the fun, excitement, competition, and camaraderie of sailing. Their weekly women-only races start in June, and culminate with a Women’s Championship in late August. Last year’s winner, Lee Davidson, took lessons at the club for two summers before first skippering a boat of her own about eight years ago. She says this sailing sisterhood is tight and meets year-round to socialize. “My husband is not really interested in sailing,” she says with a laugh. “I have much more fun sailing with girlfriends.”
SURFER GIRL
Cathy Corcione
While many 16-year-olds are content to surf the web, Emily Grossarth of Rumson has surfed the seas from Sandy Hook to the South Pacific. The sophomore honors student at RumsonFair Haven Regional High School caught her first wave at age 4 and started surfing competitively at age 13, racking up over 40 contest wins and four National Scholastic Surfing Association Northeast titles. Her passion inspired her efforts to start RFH’s first surfing club team in 2016. Part of a team of 25, NautiGals Emily practices four to five days a week, while also juggling schoolwork, SAT prep, and volunteering for water-related causes such as Clean Ocean Action, the American Littoral Society, Surfers’ Environmental Alliance, and organizations that teach surfing to people with disabilities. This year, Emily was among 12 young surfers named as an East Coast All Star Surfer during the 2018 East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Florida. “The ocean is a parallel to real life,” she says. “It is unpredictable, filled with uncertainty, but will ultimately gift you the most incredible sense of joy and happiness.”
WATER PATROL
Growing up in Rumson, Cindy Zipf swam in the ocean, seined in the river, Emily Grossarth and operated her own bait business. She planned to become a marine biologist until an awareness of the harmful effects of ocean pollution led to her eventual career as executive director of Clean Ocean Action (COA). Since the nonprofit COA was founded in 1984, Cindy has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of the ocean from Montauk, NY to Cape May, NJ. She oversees a staff of eight and a coalition of 125 other community organizations that have banded with COA to fight ocean pollution through public education, citizen action, and legislative advocacy. Cindy and COA successfully fought to ban ocean dumping off the coasts of New York and New Jersey. Its biannual Beach Sweeps galvanize thousands of people to pick up trash along local shorelines, and document the debris to help guide the development of new pollution-reducing programs. Cindy’s latest passion project is COA’s Rally for the Navesink, a clean-up effort launched last year after water quality in the Navesink River was downgraded and shellfish-harvesting prohibited due to fecal contamination. Cindy leads a team of 50 volunteers and an alliance of business and community groups in an effort to find and fix pollution sources. Her goal: a clean river by 2020. “New Jersey was once known as the oceandumping capital of the world,” she says. “Now, our local waters are enjoyed by millions of people and are a healthier habitat for diverse marine species.”

WATER-COLORIST Water has been part of Cathy Corcione’s life since the Red Bank resident was a child swimming in the ocean and on local club teams. While in high school, she competed on the U.S. swim team at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and then went on to compete on the first women’s swim team at Princeton University, where she studied art history. For the past 30 years, Cathy has spent most days poolside, coaching elementary- through high-school-aged swimmers for the Central Jersey Aquatic Club team. So, it’s understandable that water also features prominently in this self-taught artist’s paintings. Cathy paints seascapes, surfers, pools, swimmers, and other aquatic-themed art with a diffused, watery style and a sense of ethereal movement, peacefulness and iridescence. “Water is what I see all the time in my memories, when I’m at the beach with my kids and grandkids, and at swim meets and practices. It comes out in my art,” she says. “Even my Instagram hashtag is #waterpainter.”

Time flies when you’re having fun and Melissa D’Anna has been having a blast since she opened Lucky Dog Surf Co. in Sea Bright one year ago. Melissa has turned customers into friends, become a sought-after surfing resource, and was even featured on an episode of Cake Boss (check it out on YouTube!). She’s kicking off her second summer with an even bigger selection of surfboards (90 percent of which are shaped in New Jersey), and locally made clothing, jewelry and skincare products. Lucky Dog Surf Co. also rents surfboards and paddleboards, offers surf lessons, and this summer, will host two surf-camp sessions, July 16-20 and July 30-August 3. Beginner to intermediate surfers, aged 9 - 16, can work with seasoned instructors to learn techniques, improve skills, and most importantly, have fun. Melissa also plans to expand the women’s surf club she started last year as a low-key, supportive environment to encourage women to start surfing. But, her furry sidekick Guinness – the Lucky Dog for whom the store is named – might be having the most fun of all. “People come in all the time to see him,” Melissa says. “He’s a local celebrity!” Lucky Dog Surf Co. • 1096 Ocean Ave. • Sea Bright 732-844-WAVE • www.luckydogsurf.com

Basie Summer Jazz Fest: The Artists Jun 2 4pm and Jun 3 6:30pm Count Basie Theatre Lizz Wright Vocalist Lizz Wright albums have all garnered critical acclaim— from her breakout Verve debut album Salt (2003) to her latest album Grace (2017)on Concord Records. A New York Times review described her voice as “a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather.” It is a voice and style that have been compared to Norah Jones, but filled with her own spirit, drawn from her gospel roots growing up in Georgia, that found sublime expression in jazz and blues. Bob James Trio Discovered by Quincy Jones at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival in 1963, multiple-Grammy®-Award-winning jazz keyboardist, arranger and record producer Bob James recorded his first solo album, Bold Conceptions, that year for Mercury Records. 58 albums and innumerable awards would follow through five decades. While recording his album Grand Piano Canyon in 1990, James reunited with

drummer Harvey Mason, Jr. It would also be the first time James would work with guitarist Lee Ritenour. These early sessions ignited a spark that would blaze into Fourplay, the contemporary jazz quartet that engulfed the jazz world and remained number one on the Billboard contemporary jazz chart for 33 weeks. The Bob James Trio is James, Michael Palazzolo on bass & Billy Kilson on drums. Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin Lee Ritenour did his first session work in the late ’60s with the Mamas and the Papas, who dubbed him “Captain Fingers” for demonstrating incredible dexterity while still in his teens. The guitarist has earned a Grammy® Award, 19 Grammy® nominations, and recorded more than 40 albums. He was a founding member of Fourplay, considered one of the most successful groups in contemporary jazz. Jazz keyboardist Dave Grusin has been a performer, producer, composer, record label executive, arranger, bandleader. and soundtrack composer, scoring such films as The Fabulous Baker Boys. Grusin recorded with Benny Goodman
in1960, later playing electric keyboards with Gerry Mulligan and Lee Ritenour in the mid-70s.
collaborated or toured with Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, India.Arie, Leela James, The Internet and others.
Michael Franks Over the course of 33 years and 16 albums, Michael Franks’ artistry as a songwriter has brought him an international following with works that include “Popsicle Toes,” “Monkey See-Monkey Do,” “The Lady Wants To Know,” “When the Cookie Jar is Empty,” “Tiger in the Rain,” “Rainy Night in Tokyo” and “Tell Me All About It”—covered by artists ranging from Diana Krall and Natalie Cole to Manhattan Transfer and the Carpenters. As a singer, his voice is as eloquent and memorable as his songs.
Esperanza Spalding A four-time Grammy® awardwinner, activist, and educator, Esperanza Spalding has, in the past decade of artistic journey, continually married genres, pushed boundaries and created groundbreaking work. Spalding is, as a musician, composer, vocalist and lyricist, expansive, iterative and shape-shifting, open and progressively innovative. A voracious live performer, she is attentive in her studies towards what the process of playing live presents to the structure of a song—whether sharing the stage with Herbie Hancock, Prince, or the LA Philharmonic. That channeled energy runs through her catalogue of dozens of collaborative and six solo albums. Spalding was the laureate-invited performer at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. In July 2017, she was appointed Professor of the Practice of Music at Harvard University.
Moonchild Moonchild’s Fusing candid-soul and new-school jazz, Moonchild was born in the vibrant LA soul scene. Their dreamlike and ethereal compositions explore the intricacies of relationships and the importance of making time for love—from the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night and missing someone, to the deep bonds shared between mother and child. Voyager, their latest album, builds on the trademark sound. The trio has released two albums and
based quasi-collective found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. But as the category names for all three of the band’s Grammy® awards would indicate (Best R&B Performance in 2014, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016 and 2017), Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.” Snarky Puppy is a collective of sorts with as many as 25 members in regular rotation. At its core, the band represents the convergence of both black and white American music culture with various accents from around the world. But more than cultural diversity of the individual players, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively.

or people living with osteoarthritis of the knee, or who experience knee pain while walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of chairs, knee replacement surgery might be an option to consider. More than 700,000 of them are performed annually in the U.S. and that number is projected to increase to nearly 3.5 million by 2030. As the need has increased, the technology has improved, making knee replacement surgery an effective procedure to relieve pain, correct deformities, and help people resume everyday activities.
“Knee replacement surgery can be complex, leaving many people reluctant to undergo surgery,” says Anthony Costa, M.D., medical director for the joint replacement program at Hackensack Meridian Health Riverview Medical Center. “The procedure removes a thin layer of damaged bone and cartilage from the thighbone, shinbone and kneecap and replaces it with an artificial joint.” Riverview Medical Center’s answer to enhancing knee replacements is to invest in technology, including the Mako robotic system, which allows surgeons to personalize the surgical experience, tailoring it to their needs and anatomy. “A functional knee replacement has to be well aligned,” says Dr. Costa. “In conventional surgery, the surgeon must manually line up the prosthesis, allowing for a greater margin of error. The Mako robotic-arm helps to reduce that risk by designing each patient’s surgical plan prior to surgery for more precise implant surgery.” The system starts by rendering a computed tomography (CT)-based 3D rendering of a patient’s orthopedic anatomy days before the surgery. Before the patient enters the operating room, the surgeon is working with the patient’s CT scans and the Mako system is creating a personalized surgical plan. In the operating room, the Mako system guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area, helping to provide more accurate placement and alignment of the implant.
Anthony J. Costa, MD
“Statistically, using the Mako robot-assisted technique shows better accuracy in rotational alignment compared to conventional surgery,” Dr. Costa continues. “It’s an innovative technique the means we can offer a more accurate surgery with faster recovery times and less pain. Additionally, utilizing a Mako robot has reduced the rate of complications and readmissions, and the medical center’s rapid recovery post-operative course helps to get patients home one to two days after surgery.” As with any surgery, complications exist. This is why it’s important to seek a reputable surgeon, and to undergo the surgery in a facility recognized for quality and safety. “The hip and knee program at Riverview Medical Center was recently recognized as high performing by U.S. News & World Report,” says Dr. Costa. “Additionally, it was the first hospital in New Jersey to earn The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Advanced Certification for Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement, which recognizes facilities dedicated to elevating the quality, consistency and safety of their services and patient care.”

HOW TO SHUCK
According to Eric Morris of Local 130 Seafood, Asbury Park, always store oysters in the refrigerator until ready to use. Rinse, scrub and discard any that are open or have cracked shells. Using a folded towel or glove to protect your hand in case of a knife slip, hold the oyster securely against a counter or flat surface, with the cupped side down to retain the briny liquid. Slowly work the short, sturdy blade of an oyster knife into the neck or hinge of the oyster, twisting the knife to wedge it open. Run the knife under the oyster meat to loosen it from the bottom shell. Slurp immediately.

T
he name of the Oyster Point Hotel on the Navesink River in Red Bank serves as proud reminder that the briny bivalves not only were once plentiful here and played a key role in the history of our region, but they’re anything but gone-and-forgotten today.
THEN… According to the Navesink Maritime Heritage Association, oysters and shellfish from the Navesink River were a significant food source for the native Lenape people. By the 1700s and 1800s, the New YorkNew Jersey region was estimated to produce half the world’s oysters. The Navesink River’s bountiful oyster beds were commercially harvested, the Delaware Bay near Cape May yielded more than one million bushels of oysters a year, and New York Harbor was home to 350 square miles of oyster beds, In New York, oysters were sold from street-cart American Littoral Society vendors, and the shells lined downtown streets. at Sandy Hook: Operation Ellis Island and Liberty Island were once known Oyster program as “Little Oyster Island” and “Great Oyster Island.” The book by Mark Kurlansky, “The Big Oyster,” argues the oyster was so important to the history of New York, the city should be nicknamed the “Big Oyster” rather than the Big Apple.
The Shuck It, Don't Chuck It Oyster Shell Recycling Program is a win-win for oyster lovers, businesses and the bay's waters.
Sadly, by the 1920s, the region’s oyster beds had all but disappeared, a casualty of over-harvesting, pollution and shellfish diseases. The loss of oysters was not only the end of an industry and loss of a locally sourced delicacy, it hastened a snowball of worsening environmental effects on the marine ecosystem. An adult oyster can naturally filter and purify up to 50 gallons of water a day, eating algae and plankton and absorbing pollutants. As the oyster reefs diminished, pollution and algae grew unchecked, fouling the water, and causing a loss of habitat and food source for a diverse variety of marine life.
NOW The marine conservation group, American Littoral Society at Sandy Hook, launched Operation Oyster last year to try to reintroduce oysters to the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers, and employ nature’s filtration system to help improve water quality. Area restaurants supported the program by saving thousands of oyster shells through the Shuck It, Don’t Chuck It recycling campaign. Local students and other volunteers bagged these recycled oyster shells in mesh sacks, and hung them from about 50 private waterfront docks (a win-win since the shells were diverted from landfills). The hope is that the bagged shells will act as a hotel of sorts for oyster larvae, called “spat,” which need a hard surface to latch onto as they grow into adult oysters. In addition, the repurposed shells supply the lime—created when the calcium carbonate in the shells mixes with water—that is required for baby oysters to grow their own shells. If all goes according to plan, the oyster larvae will attach to the bagged shells, develop into adult oysters, and eventually, into viable, water-purifying reefs. continued on next page

Though we’re a long way from once again seeing Navesink Oysters on dinner plates, the commercial oyster industry has been making a comeback in other parts of the state. Thanks to the creation of sustainable oyster farms in the Peconic, Barnegat and Delaware Bays, by companies like 40 North, owned by Matt Gregg, who grew up in Avon, New Jersey’s annual oyster harvest is at about 72,000 bushels, up from 36,600 bushels in the 1990s.
NEW ORLEANSSTYLE CHARBROILED OYSTERS (SERVES 6) 8 ounces butter, softened 2 tbl. garlic, finely chopped 1 tsp. black pepper pinch oregano 18 large oysters, freshly shucked 1 oz. grated Parmesan cheese 1 oz. grated Romano cheese 2 tsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley 1. Heat a gas or charcoal grill. In a medium bowl, mix butter with garlic, pepper, and oregano. 2. Place oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part. Spoon enough of the seasoned butter over the oysters so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit. 3. The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes. 4. In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses and sprinkle on top of the oysters followed by the parsley. Serve on the shells immediately with hot French bread.
Charbroiled Oysters Recipe, Tommy Cvitanovich, owner Drago's Seafood Restaurant, New Orleans, Louisiana
Americans consume about 2.5 billion oysters every year, a fair share of them right here at the Jersey Shore. Look for restaurant raw-bar happy-hour specials where you can indulge for just a couple bucks apiece, or hit up local fish markets for comparison-tasting a variety of oysters at home. The Asbury Park Oyster Fest (September 7–9) and Red Bank Guinness Oyster Festival (September 30) serve up tens of thousands of them, in celebration of the region’s rich oyster history. “Oysters are like wine,” says Eric Morris, founder and CEO of Local 130 Seafood, an Asbury Park-based retailer and wholesaler of sustainably sourced seafood. “Their flavor and texture are very influenced by the environment where they’re grown. For instance, oysters from Maine and Massachusetts taste saltier, brinier, while New Jersey oysters are smooth and milky with less salinity. Gulf oysters are meaty and oysters from Washington State often have notes of cucumber.” Though they can be served up fried, grilled, baked, broiled, stewed, tucked into sandwiches, or folded into stuffing, Morris, who offers 12 to 20 different varieties of oysters at his store every day, says his favorite way to eat them is raw and unadorned on the half shell. “I’m a big fan of ‘shucking and sucking’ so you can really appreciate the flavor of the oyster,” he says. Otherwise, a splash of cocktail sauce, squeeze of lemon juice, or a drizzle of mignonette, a simple French sauce made with vinegar, shallots, pepper, and herbs, are classic accompaniments. If you’re willing to put in a little more effort, Morris says oysters prepared “New Orleans-style”—topped with garlic, butter, cheese, and herbs and then grilled—can’t be beat. As he puts it, “What’s not to like about oysters, garlic, butter and cheese?” Although finding a pearl in an oyster really can happen—they’re formed when an oyster coats an irritant, like a grain of sand, with nacre, also called mother-of-pearl—the odds of finding a perfect, natural pearl are one in a million. But, as for that old wives’ tale about only eating oysters in months with the letter R in the name? “Baloney,“ says Morris. “They’re great any time, all year long.”

URANUS in TAURUS U
finance. For example, I recently read of emerging robotic technology that allows cows to virtually milk themselves on their own schedule! And some financial authorities are predicting the total replacement of currency in the foreseeable future by bitcoins and the like.
ranus is the first planet in our solar system that is not visible to the naked eye, so it could not be discovered until the invention of the telescope in the late eighteenth century. Since the outer planets influence Earth globally as well as personally, it’s not surprising that the discovery of the planetary wizard that delivers sudden, unexpected opportunity and change, and urges us to claim the freedom to be our authentic selves was first identified during the time of the American and French Revolutions.
By entering earthy, practical, peace-loving, security-minded Taurus on May 15, 2018 “The Great Awakener” made a once-inapproximately-seven-years move by changing signs. The planet that seeks sudden, immediate change enters the zodiacal sign least likely to bend. Both are of a fixed nature: neither is inclined to compromise its own energetic makeup. However, once they become acclimated to each other, they can integrate their disparate energies to create a synergistic “cocktail” that can bring positive change that has the potential to last...and each can offset the excesses of the other. Uranus will have to slow its pace and sense of urgency and consider the feasibility of its out-of-the box ideas; Taurus will have to cultivate flexibility and open up to trying something new. With the Universe always focused on its own evolution and growth in positive directions, this can certainly happen, though it may not be a comfortable process, especially at the beginning.
With this move, Uranus joins Saturn and Pluto which are currently travelling through another practical, grounded earth sign: Capricorn. And Jupiter and Neptune, the other two outer planets in our solar system, are in the inward-turned water signs of Scorpio and Pisces. All this adds up to a huge change in the collective vibe: a quieter, more deliberate effect that will be particularly strong over the next few years, until some of these planets move on to different signs.
THE GREAT For those of us here on Planet Earth, the advice is to proceed with awareness and deliberation AWAKENER BUTTS and to make changes when the need for them makes itself known. Look to the house in your HEADS WITH birth charts where Taurus is found to see where THE BULL shake-ups may be needed and might occur. With
On the world stage we can expect to see Uranus’ innovative ideas manifest practically, usefully, and sensibly in Taurus-ruled things like agriculture and food production, and banking and
Uranus in residence there, Taurus complacency can be stirred and changes made that can usher in the security and peace that the sign of the bull yearns for. Take a calculated (Taurus) risk (Uranus) in the direction of a freer, more authentic and actualized, happier you. The Universe itself is backing the bet. Except for a brief period between November 6, 2018 and March 6, 2019 when it retrogrades back into the sign of Aries, Uranus will travel through the sign of Taurus until November of 2026.
With thanks to Frank Clifford and Sue Tompkins for their articles in recent 2018 editions of “The Mountain Astrologer.”
