ART & sPACE

“Colorful Face” by Kortez Robinson at Jersey Wine & Spirits

By Sally Deering

When his girlfriend moved out of their Hoboken apartment and took her paintings with her, it drove Ro-land Ramos to extremes. No, he didn’t go on a bender or crash the car. Instead, he turned his bare-walled apartment into an art gallery and ex-hibited the works of his artist friends. His apartment gallery became so popular, Ramos expanded into the next door apartment and eventually to the plot next to the building and turned it into a sculpture garden and outdoor performance space. From there, Ramos branched out to the Monroe Art Center in Hoboken where he organized the first Bigable Art Festival. That was back in 2006.

LORD OF THE RING Bayonne native Bobby Rooney refl ects on 30+Years in Boxing

Bobby Rooney boxes Toris “The Bull” Brewer

by Darren Paltrowitz Bobby Rooney has been in charge of the Bayonne Police Athletic League’s Boxing Club for almost a decade. Prior to taking over the Bayonne PAL program from his father, profession-al boxer Bob Rooney, Sr., who ran it for more than 30 years, Bobby Rooney was

a professional fi ghter. He went pro in 2003, win-ning the WBF Continental Light Heavyweight Title in 2009, and fi nishing with a win-loss record of 12-3; 7 of his 12 victories were knock-outs, 4 of the vic-tories against previously-undefeated boxers. Rooney’s work with the

Bayonne PAL often has him rubbing elbows with top talent, and not been by coincidence. His father was a sparring partner with Chuck Wepner – the

Coach Bobby Rooney with Robert Terry inspiration for Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky – who of-ten offers assistance to the Bayonne PAL. Robert Terry is a recent success story of the program, competing at

the National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champi-ons in Salt Lake City this month. Tyrell Wright, currently with a professional record of 8-0, is another multiple Golden Glove title winner with ties to the Bayonne PAL.RVO: How did you get involved with the Bayonne Police Athletic League?BR: I started boxing at the Bayonne PAL when I was 10 years-old under the guidance of my father, Bob Rooney Sr., who ran the boxing program for 30+ years before he retired. I took over in 2008. In 1987 I won the State Junior Olympic title at 118 lbs...I fi nished with an amateur record of 21-5.

RVO: What do you enjoy most about working at the Bayonne PAL?BR: Some of these kids come into the gym very shy and quiet. Watching them build confi dence is

Family Entertainment hits the Streets

SKANATRA returns to Hoboken Arts & Music Festival)Photo by Annalee Van Kleeck

By Sally Deering

Hudson will be hopping this spring as several towns celebrate its arrival with music, food, and dancing in the streets. On Sun, June 5, the 2016 Jersey City Ward Tour (BYOB: Bring Your Own Bike) will be held. (Rain date Sun, June 12.) On Sat and Sun, June 11 and 12, the Bayonne Hometown Fair will have fun family entertainment and activi-ties; and on Sun, June 12, the Hoboken Arts & Music Festival will fill the streets with music, food and crafts

vendors. Also, on Sun, June 12, the Braddock Park Arts Festival will set up around the park’s beautiful lake for a day of art and fun.

Ride 17 miles through Jersey City on streets closed to traffic and with a police escort. The tour will be a “clockwise loop around the city, at a relaxed pace (10 mph), taking breaks, and returning

around 1 p.m. to the finish.” After the tour, cyclists can celebrate cycling at the Fin-ish Line Festival in Liberty State Park with music, and food and drink vendors.

Here are the particulars: “Ward Tour sign-in and bib pickup begins at 9 am at City Hall. Please arrive early enough to wait in a line or two, pick up

your bib and pin it on. We recommend arriving no later than 10 am. We will all line up for the start at 10:45 and begin riding promptly at 11 am, in one large group. Helmets are required for all participants. Only riders 12 and up are allowed to ride individually in the Ward Tour. Younger riders can ride on an adult’s bicycle (in a seat, trailer, etc.).

LORD OF THE RING Bobby Rooney Cont’d from page 2rewarding to me on a per-sonal level. Other kids get involved because they’ve

been getting into fi ghts in the street and a parent brings them in to give them something to keep them busy. Watching a kid that

may have been described a troublemaker or wise-ass become more behaved and a gentleman gives me pride. I’d lie if I said win-ning isn’t a huge part of it. Taking a kid from a shy or troubled 12-year old and making him a Golden Glove champ within a few years is what it’s all about. Myself and my partner John “Broz” Snyder take a lot of pride in knowing that these kids have a place to be where they’re safe and can feel part of something. There’s no cursing, no pants-sagging and no being disrespectful to others at any time in our gym. I can remember when my father trained us in the 1980’s, walking down

the street seeing two kids fi st-fi ghting in the street. My father would grab both kids, bring them right to the gym, throw gloves on them and put them in the ring. “Let’s see who the real tough guy is,” he’d say. Believe it or not, some of those kids stuck around and became champions. My fa-ther defi nitely left big shoes to fi ll for me as a coach.

RVO: How long have you been residing in Bayonne?BR: I was born in Bayonne and moved to Holmdel in 1999. I work in Toms River until 5 pm every day and then drive to Bayonne where we begin training at 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday. I do this as a volun-teer. I pay for all the equip-ment, membership fees and team travel out of my pocket.

RVO: How did you fi rst encounter Robert Terry?BR: Robert Terry is the classic case of a “shy kid turned success story”. His mother brought him to me, to keep him off the streets back in 2008, when he was 14 years old. He was the quietest kid in the gym by far. Only spoke when spoken to, and usu-ally one-word answers. In 2009 he had his fi rst fi ght, a fi rst round knockout. Soon thereafter his second fi ght, another fi rst round knock-out. Since then he’s won 3 Golden Glove titles and 2 Diamond Glove titles. In 2010 John and I took Robert along with other top fi ghters from New Jersey to compete in Northern Ireland. But more important than the success inside the ring

is what he’s become out-side. He is now a confi dent 22-year old gentleman. Robert comes from a rough neighborhood in Jersey City where it’s very easy to fi nd trouble if it doesn’t fi nd you fi rst. Robert’s mother Samara and I speak often about his progress and she is his rock. Samara and Robert’s stepfather Kevin do a great job keep-ing him focused on work and his life outside boxing, and I feel like I’ve always had their support.

RVO: To become a great boxer, what do you think are the most important traits in a person?BR: The obvious ingre-dients to (being) a good boxer would be agility, speed, power, condition-ing and the ability to take a punch, but mental traits are important. Desire, mental toughness, and fortitude are just as important. Can you fi ght through pain? Can you get up when you’re down? Combat sports de-mand more from an athlete than any other sport. Other sports can be demanding as well, but try playing foot-ball, basketball or hockey when you’re exhausted and someone is punching you in your stomach or your face. It’s a different kind of toughness. For more information on Bobby Rooney and Bayonne PAL Boxing, call 732-616-9162 or visit the club on Facebook.

ART & SPACECont’d from Cover

Ten years later, Ramos has come back to curating in a big way. He’s curated three art shows featuring close to 20 artists that will be opening in May and June. “Moving Still” an exhibi-tion of rock and roll photo-graphs opens on June 3 at The Citizen bar, restaurant and music hall in down-town Jersey City. Also on June 3, ten artists exhibit their work in “Colorshow” opening at Jersey Wine & Spirits on Jersey Ave. across from the Jersey City library; and on May 15, at Subias Organic Café in Jersey City, Ramos curated a show of paintings by Kristina Nicos and aka 999.

RVO: Where were you born and raised; what’s your Hoboken connec-tion?RR: I was born in Asto-ria and raised in Teaneck. When I was a kid I went to the Hudson School in Hoboken. Then, in my 20s, I moved to Hoboken.RVO: Is that around the time you turned your apartment into an artgallery?

At the Citizen in Jersey City, “Moving Still”photo by Filip Zalewski

RR: I was living with my girlfriend who was an artist. We broke up and when she left, she took her paintings with her. I was left with a barren Hoboken apartment and no furniture. I wondered, how can I get art back in my life? So I turned my apartment into a gallery and started show-casing friends and people I knew.

RVO: Did you have any prior experience curat-ing?RR: No. At the time I had no background in art. After putting on a year’s worth of shows there, I found the Monroe Art Center was right down the block. I was attending non-profi t meetings at the time and we were discussing how culture is leaving Hoboken. You can tell by the fact that there were no gay clubs and no galleries. It was 2008; and I contacted the Monroe Art Center to showcase art there.

RVO: What motivated you to start the Bigable Art Festival?RR: Many relationships blossomed at the Bigable Art Festival. We had four of them at the Monroe Art Center. Then the Monroe

Art Center was sold to new owners. They wanted to get the place fi lled and with the Bigable Arts Festival, we introduced a lot of people to the Monroe Art Center. We were tremendously successful. Our goal was to help artists fi nd a venue to show their work and we did.

RVO: What was your takeaway from the experience?RR: There was a bigger gain. In 2013, I received a three-month curatorial residency in Vienna. The government gives a lot more money to the arts in Europe. I was there for three months and while I was there I learned the proper way to curate, the philosophical questions that are asked and answered.

Jersey City Philharmonic Orchestra to Hold Inaugural Concert at City Hall on May 17th“A Road to Happiness” to be Conducted by Nanse Gum, Free Concert to Feature

Classical Favorites from Mozart to Vivaldi On May 17, the Jersey City Philharmonic Or-chestra (JCPO) will take the stage for the very first time, making its debut at City Hall. Musicians from around the world will play classical favorites under the direction of world-renowned conductor Nanse Gum.

“The JCPO will bring world-class musicians to Jersey City and will add to the existing cultural rich-ness and diversity in the Jersey City community,” said Mayor Steven Fulop. “Part of what makes Jersey City so vibrant and unique is the special place we make for the arts in our

community, and the JCPO will be a part of that mov-ing forward.” The concert will be free and open to the public, and will begin at 7pm. The Jersey City Philhar-monic Orchestra (JCPO)

was founded earlier this year, by David Song, the Chief Executive Director, to offer authentic classical music experiences for the community. JCPO will elevate the impact and value of orchestral music through its unparalleled quality yet affordable per-formances. “We are thankful for the support that Jersey City has provided the JCPO. We hope that JCPO will play the role of a cultural icon

to create a greater Jersey City, deliver extraordinary artistic experiences, and transform Jersey City’s lifestyle,” said David Song, violinist and violist, Ex-ecutive Board Member of Sejong International Music Festival, President of Amadeus Corporation NY/NJ, and Founder and Chief Executive Director of JCPO. “We are committed to Jersey City’s emphasis on quality education and will guarantee cultural enrichment. We thank Mr. Nanse Gum for taking the time to lead our orchestra at a world-class level. His knowledge, presence, expe-rience, and musical talent will inspire our orchestra members. Lastly, we would like to take Jersey City resi-dents on ‘A Road to Happi-ness’ through our concerts and other culturally enrich-ing projects.” To create lifelong rela-tionships with the youth, JCPO will extend access to educational music pro-grams. Collaborating with the public schools, JCPO will facilitate a foundation of critical life skills in-cluding teamwork, leader-ship, and problem-solving through the arts. Below is the list of upcoming proj-ects that JCPO is currently planning:•Orchestra Subscription Con-certs•Chamber Ensemble Concerts•Benefit Concerts for Jersey City•Jersey City Youth Orchestra•Summer Music and Art Camp•Summer Classical Music Festival•Concert in the Park•International Music Competition

RVO: Can you explain what those philosophical questions are?RR: The curator asks philosophical questions and the answers to those ques-tions are the answers on the walls. Think about it. When a collector goes into an art gallery, they want to emotionally respond to the piece. The curator has to provide the art as an interactive ‘like’. There’s a conversation going on. The curator is the one who poses the question, which adds a legitimacy to the ex-hibition. If you just throw a bunch of pieces on the wall, you may have a great show, but what’s the point? If you start with a point, it turns the exhibition into a dialogue.

“Blue Textured” byKristina Nicos at Subias

RVO: What else did you learn during your curato-rial residency in Vienna?RR: I spent three months working in the museum with the director, the cura-tors, and it’s a whole differ-ent ball game. I was tasked with finding my voice as a curator. When I was in Vi-enna, we ended up meeting with people from the Hun-gary School of the Arts. I noticed the students needed guidance, so I helped create

opportunities for them to show their works in Bu-dapest, and what I did in Vienna is what I’m doing here.

RVO: Why is it impor-tant for Hudson artists to have a curator work with them?RR: People who graduate art school, if they don’t do their art in three years after graduation, they’re more likely not to practice their art at all, or go back to their normal lifestyle. This is tragic.

RVO: What would you say is the curator’s role and relationship to the artist?RR: Aside from creating a dialogue, our job is to let the artist focus on being the best they can, alleviating

them from setting up their exhibitions. We help the artist show their work and we help sell their work. If you goMay 15-July 5KRISTINA NICOS AND AKA 999. Subia’s Organic Café506 Jersey Ave, JCwww.subiasorganiccafe.com

Ten Ingredients with Chef Scott McDonald of Talde Jersey City

Chef Scott McDonald of Talde Jersey City

By Sally Deering

Switching gears frompre-med to culinary school, Chef Scott McDonald applies a different type of chemistry at Talde res-taurant in Jersey City. He melds a culinary school background with sev-eral years of experience at Tribeca Grill and a trip to China that left a deep and lasting impression on him both as a person and chef. He has worked at Talde since it opened almost two years ago, and he creates Asian Fusion dishes that are fl avorful and a feast for the eyes – designed by owner and head chef Dale Talde. McDonald’s cooking in-fl uences come from grow-ing up in Fairfi eld in a big hearty family that loved to BBQ. He’s enjoyed cook-ing since he was a kid, he says, and as a professional chef he doesn’t mind the long hours necessary to

Bao, and Crispy Oyster & Bacon Pad Thai. The Korean Fried Chicken with spicy kimchi yogurt, grapes and mint is very popular, too, he says. McDonald attended the Culinary Institute of America in Poughkeep-sie, New York, and earned an Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts in 2011. One of his greatest experiences in school, he says, was a month-long trip to study in China where he ate lunch and dinner at different restaurants every day and learned to make the perfect dumpling.

Chicken with grapes

Talde Jersey City dining roomput out great dishes. He oversees Talde’s Pan Asian menu and a kitchen staff of close to 20 people who serve, on average, 150 diners during the week and 300 nightly on the week-ends in the restaurant that seats more than 100 at a clip. And what a cool restau-rant it is; an open space fi lled with casual tables and booths big enough to seat eight comfortably. The bar is a modern little wonder with clusters of overhang-ing lamps and a full bar where bartenders create an extensive menu of specialty drinks. Downstairs, there’s a small banquet room and an intimate bar called Madame Wong’s, which is only known by word-of-mouth. McDonald and the own-ers seem to be doing everything right. The menu features several signature dishes, McDonald says, like the Pretzel Pork and Chive Dumplings, the #6

RVO: Chef McDonald, can you share how you became interested in cooking?SM: We were always

grilling in the backyard.I come from a big familyand I grew up in an

Italian neighborhood and they had extravagant par-ties. I started making my own sauce. My parents got me a pasta machine. I was

pre-med in school, but I decided it wasn’t for me and switched to culinary school.

RVO: What do you think it takes to be a good chef?SM: You have to have a sensitive palate and a sensi-tive touch. I always had a hard work ethic. You can’t call it in. I work at least 12 hours a day.

RVO: Why do you do it?SM: I like the creativity. That’s a big thing.

RVO: Would you say Tal-de’s has high standards?SM: We serve the best: fi sh from Fulton Fish Market and we use farmers’ mar-kets for our produce. I get my veggies at the farmers’ market on Grove Street. It’s a block away. The own-ers and I really care about quality and respect. It’s

Cont’d from page 16 the “nose to the tail move-ment”. It’s not just about the animal’s life; it’s about the farmers that raise the animal. People don’t real-ize that the Korean Fried Chicken we serve, for in-stance, a whole lot of work went into that dish.

RVO: Can you also describe one of the house specialties, #6 Bao?SM: A Bao is a Japanese bun. A fl oury bun. The #6 is a play on Wendy’s #6. We make our own Bao Buns. We let it rise for a few hours. Then we steam them. We serve it with Ko-rean Fried Chicken Breast in a spicy chili oil.

RVO: How did the Culi-nary Institute of America prepare you for Asian Fusion cuisine?SM: The Culinary Institute is of a French tradition. You had to be clean shaven and your uniform has to be clean and pressed every day or you are kicked out of class. It was a great school. It gave me the jumpstart that I needed. When I came out of culinary school, I went to work at Tribeca Grill in New York.

RVO: Robert DeNiro is one of the owners, right? Did you cook for him? What did he eat?SM: He’s a nice guy. Al-ways says hi to the staff. He ate there a lot. His movie theater was upstairs and he would slip in and have steak and potatoes, pasta. He ate just about anything.

I always admired the chef at Tribeca. If the dishwash-er got backed up, he would help. If something spilled, he would grab a mop.

RVO: Are there any food trends we can look for-ward to this summer?SM: The health trend is defi nitely big. Super foods, healthy produce and a more casual way of eating. The best chefs are now opening fast, casual restaurants.

RVO: Do you have a recipe you can share with our readers?SM: Sure. How about tur-key burgers? I use a pound of ground turkey (85/15), form them into burgers andsauté them in a pan.

Season with salt, pepper and dried rosemary. Use some multi grain bread. Then add ground goat cheese, and shitake mush-rooms in caramelized gar-lic. Top with fresh spinach and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

RVO: Can you share one of the highlights of your month-long stay in China?SM: The last two weeks of our trip, I studied under 12 different chefs. I learned how to make the perfect dumpling and the use of Szechuan Peppercorns. I never heard of or tasted them before. It’s a black peppercorn that turns your mouth numb. We use it on our Kung Pao Chicken Wings. If you go Talde8 Erie St, JC 201) 630-0077www.taldejerseycity.com

STARGAZINE.May 2016 Aries- March 21 - April 19Your thoughts are focused on growth. Activity to the fourth house governing real estate will put you on a path toward acquir-ing property. This is the time when you accept the possibility that you were meant to be suc-cessful and move forward. Place your order with the Universe and it soon will be delivered.Taurus- April 20 - May 20The Sun, Venus and a retrograde Mercury are all in Taurus now. Simply put, there are big advan-tages forthcoming in love and money. However you must be patient and watch what you say for the next month in order to re-ceive these gifts. When Mercury goes direct on May twenty sec-ond you will reap these benefits.Gemini- May 21 - June 20Gemini on the sixth house governing health and the service that you perform cautions that you take things slowly, especially now while your ruler, Mercury, is retro-grade. Misunderstandings are a given and your energy level may be down. This is a time to do the Re’s! Review, reset, reevaluate and take an inven-tory of your hearts desires. The time to act will be in June. Your solar return, AKA birthday, will breathe life into your projects.

Cancer -June 21 - July 22Holding on to a past rela-tionship has prevented you from growing. Leave the past behind as it was a fantasy and you were in a tug of war with yourself. You are now ready for a new love and a new life. Staring in June you will find that luck and excitement have returned. Enjoy!

Leo -July 23 - August 22This is a wonderful time to re-evaluate your educational goals, no matter what your chronologi-cal age. To expand your mind and challenge the status quo keeps you young and interesting. Acting on your desires should wait until June as we have a ret-rograde Mercury but for gather-ing info and planning there is no better time. Virgo -August 23 - Sept. 22 Almost a half of 2016 has passed and what can you look to as a barometer of your success? You are still under the rays of Ju-piter and have luck in all things indicated through your birth chart. A temporary pause now but the astral advice suggests that you begin next month revitalized and focused. It will be easier than you think as the stars are in your corner!Libra-Sept. 23 - October 22 Soon the Sun will return to the same degree and sign of your birth. This is a powerful time and coupled with the return of Jupiter it couldn’t be better. Start planning and don’t allow those negative thoughts to creep in to the fertile soil of your mind. Be sure that great opportunities are on the way you must only think constructive thoughts and act. The stars will do the rest.

Scorpio - October 23 - Nov. 21 Someone may have stirred the anger of the Scorpio native. They are unaware of the po-tential backlash they may face. The astral advice suggests that you sit back and don’t sting!! More information is forthcoming and you have the possibility of becoming good friends. Follow the don’t act policy of Mercury retrograde and you won’t have any chance of regret.

Sagittarius -Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 Saturn has it’s good side in de-veloping determination and pa-tience. This is the way you must face any seeming obstacles that you encounter. All in all, this is a great month to focus on positive health and lifestyle changes. You can make significant positive changes.

Capricorn -Dec. 22 - Jan. 19 The first house of your solar chart is highlighted. It governs your physical well being and your personal life decisions. Going forward with lifestyle and health regimes are very positive at this time. During Mercury retrograde some pounds could be lost and a true beginning to positive change may be begun.

Aquarius -Jan. 20 - Feb. 18At times the Aquarian native might be called a control freak but it is only because you are so talented you can do things faster and easier than many others. You lose patience quickly be-cause you are more advanced. The astral advice suggests that you challenge yourself and take on projects that may seem diffi-cult. This will keep you occupied and happy at your personal success. You are a winner!

Pisces -Feb. 19 - March 20 The age of Pisces is gone. Relax, you are not going anywhere but these roughly two thousand year era’s each co-inside with the message of the sign. On a personal level there is no need for sacrifice and suffer-ing, You are a wonderful child of the universe and it is time to live every moment with love and positive energy.
