Creating Your Landscape Vision Starts Now

evergreens a landscape design that will suit your needs.

Stone Walls | Pool Settings | Total Landscape Designs | Renovations

Make your property a place of beauty and seclusion and a daily place of tranquility.

CHEERS TO OCTOBER! As the leaves start to turn the vibrant shades of autumn, fall festivals and Oktoberfests become an every weekend event (check out Eventful, starting on page 52). Each town in Monmouth County has its own way of celebrating, whether it be an apple festival, a pumpkin picking party, or a parade of costumes for Halloween. Here at CM we thought it would be fun to tap into the spirit of Oktoberfest and bring you, our favorite readers, features focused on libations...or as they’re often called in many shore town bars, grog.

Our cover this month is of none other than Monmouth County’s own Jon Bon Jovi and his son, Jesse, with their new wine venture - Hampton Water. Our exclusive interview on page 43 captures the relationship between father and son, as well as their journey of hard work and dedication to finding the right blend of grapes to produce a world-renowned rosé. We think you’ll enjoy “Diving In” and seeing a little-known side of a world-famous rock icon.

To keep with our theme, we asked an NYU professor, who lives in Asbury Park and teaches a course on the history of drinking alcohol, to share her insights and wisdom on the subject. On page 76, you’ll learn the true meaning of Oktoberfest, as well as get a glimpse inside Diana Pittet’s classroom teachings as she explores “Our Love/Hate Relationship with All Things Alcohol.”

As we head to the pumpkin patches and begin our holiday shopping lists, we at CM wish you all a safe and fun-filled Oktoberfest and Halloween!

We are the oldest in Colts Neck.

VNA’s 31st Golf Classic & River Bash Raises Record Amount to Support Community-Based Health Services for At-Risk, Vulnerable Populations 1

2

VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION HEALTH GROUP hosted golfers,

volunteers, supporters, and friends at the 31st Golf Classic and River Bash on August 15th at Rumson Country Club. Golfers enjoyed a beautiful day on the course and a fun party in the evening at the scenic Riverhouse, raising more than $125,000 to help sustain VNA’s vast portfolio of mission-driven safety net public health care programs and services for vulnerable populations including children with special needs, mothers and babies, the disabled, mentally ill, frail elderly, homebound, and the terminally ill.

3

The event honored longtime VNA supporters Marilyn and Robert Broege of Oceanport, for their dedication to giving back to our community. Mr. and Mrs. Broege have been actively involved with the VNA for many years, where Mrs. Broege has volunteered for nearly a decade serving on the Holiday House Tour event committee and all of VNA Show House committees. Mr. and Mrs. Broege have also been members of the VNA’s Golf Classic committee for the past three years. In addition, the Broege’s are involved with several other charitable organizations in Monmouth County including the Two River Theater and the Monmouth Historical Association where Mr. Broege is currently a member of the Board of Trustees. He has previously served as Trustee and Chairman of Riverview Medical Center Foundation, Meridian Health Foundation Board and the Oceanport Planning Board.

“Without this generous support from the community, many of VNA’s community-based programs would be cut back or eliminated,” said Bridget. Murphy, Chief Philanthropy Officer for Visiting Nurse Association Health Group. “We are very grateful to Bob and Marilyn Broege, the committee, volunteers, sponsors and participants who made this event so successful.”

Honored Bob & Leslie Sickles of Sickles Market

Left to right: Tom O’Brien, Tori Sickles, Sasha Sickles, honorees Leslie and Bob Sickles, Carol Stillwell and Gina Petillio

After a week of clouds and rain, Mother Nature provided Hol-

iday Express with a picture-perfect day for the 11th Annual Holiday Express Sunset Benefit Clambake on September 16th, on the beach at McLoone’s Pier House. The evening, which honored Bob and Leslie Sickles of Sickles Market, raised money to support Holiday Express’ mission, which is to deliver music, food, gifts, financial support, and friendship to those with the greatest need for the gift of human kindness during the holiday season and throughout the year.

The Grinch and Carol Stillwell

Holiday Express volunteers Diane and Bob Meserlin

More than 400 guests were treated to an evening of ocean breezes, a lavish buffet, dancing, silent auction items and opportunities help support the 26th season of Holiday Express. The night was a huge success made possible by generous individuals and companies who donated money, time, and auction items.

This year Holiday Express will be visiting 100 locations during the holiday season. Proceeds from the Clambake will improve the quality of life for the 27,000 adults and children being served

by Holiday Express during the 2018 holiday season. Holiday Express visits the mentally and physically challenged, the isolated, individuals in addiction and recovery programs, the poor and the homeless and children with serious illnesses.

Holiday Express founder and band leader Tim McLoone

Established by Tim McLoone in 1993, Holiday Express is a non-profit organization comprised of 2,500 volunteers, including 150 professional rock, jazz, folk, gospel and pop musicians.

Holiday Express delivers music, food, gifts, financial support and friendship to those with the greatest need for the gift of human kindness during the holiday season and throughout the year.

WELCOME TO THE TABLE

The SECRET Formula for Emotional Wealth We all know people who seem to carry the weight of world on their shoulders. A dark cloud seems to follow them. They never seem to catch a break and they are burdened with ailments of luck or fate. This can’t possibly be by choice, but I do know that if you’re going to have an extraordinary life, you must control and understand your emotions. Because as many of us have learned the hard way, there are consequences when you let emotions take over – whether it’s a family emergency or money decision. When stuff “hits the fan” it’s always emotions that cloud the situation. Think of some of the drama in your life – wasn't it the emotions that made them memorable? – good or bad.

Ingredient #1 - We all have an emotional home. A place that we are most comfortable with, and therefore experience the most - Fear. Guilt. Power. Independence. Confidence. We have trained our brains to default and react to circumstances with those emotions. The truth is, we’re not wired for happiness; we are cave people and wired for survival. We are DNA programmed to always ask “what’s wrong?” As “cave people” we are constantly looking for anything that could hurt us.

This serves us well when we’re crossing the street, but it does not serve us to live in that emotional state, always fearing the danger or downside lurking around the corner.

Ingredient #2 - Your brain is not designed to make you happy. That is your job. Like your lawn or garden – weeds amazingly grow by themselves. If you want lush, green grass or a nice colorful and fruitful garden – You Need to Work at It and Fertilize. The good news is most of us get to choose (fertilize) which emotions you want to rule your daily life – but habits and history are hard to break. You are a product of your environment and experiences. But the great news is that you can choose for yourself what you believe starting now. Create a compelling future, because it’s essential to maintain the vision and hunger necessary to keep going when things are hard. If you’re missing a vision of your future, you will lack a rule-base and you will ask good questions. Directionless, you will sabotage the future you want. Once you have created a compelling future, you will have a map for this journey we call life. It is that new direction and challenges the force us to GROW. Otherwise you stunt your growth, condemning

yourself to a mediocrity rather than the compelling future you envisioned for yourself and those you love. When you create change, you create uncertainty, which goes against your core cave person survival mode – break the DNA. So pick a goal – big or small… create uncertainty and strive for something.

Ingredient #3 - You can start by changing how you feel in an instant by changing your physiology. How do you stand when you feel proud or excited? What does your posture look like when you’re ashamed or depressed? If you sit down to look at your financial statements or IRS letter and you immediately adopt a slumped posture, you are telling your brain how to feel. Sit down, full of energy – or even stand – the next time you open that envelope and be astounded at how different you feel.

Ingredient #4 - A great way to train your brain to respond with the emotions is a process called priming. This involves consciously stacking up what you’re grateful for. Spending a few minutes each morning focusing on the things we are grateful for allows us to respond with relaxation and gratitude whatever the circumstances. This is the root of prayer, meditation, yoga etc. – whatever your belief system may be. You don’t need to be perfect; all you need to do is interrupt your negative patterns.

Use these tools to train your brain to respond to challenges and money (a very common root of stress) with emotions that you actually want in your life. What would life be like if you approached your finances, your business, your retirement feeling confident and grateful?

164 San Joaquin Court, Holmdel Proudly offered for $769,900

What is emotional wealth? There are people that have lots of money, but they aren’t wealthy, because wealth is really a state of appreciation. If you feel scarcity around love or money now, you’re always going to feel scarcity, no matter how successful you become. Abundance is a mindset, not a dollar amount. Cultivate gratitude for the things you have now and everything that is added will feel like a bonus (that’s why I do what I do!).

Remember that 75% of the world is living on $2 a day. Your worst nightmare is their greatest dream. You want a formula for wealth? Trade your expectations for appreciation and your entire life changes in that moment. The lack of appreciation is the only thing that will make you truly poor.

Holmdel Student Is Member of Junior PGA Championship Team

Larkin Golf Course at Colonial Terrace.

Holmdel resident Remy Mander is an energetic, well-rounded ten-year-old who is a fifth grade student at Indian Hill School. He started playing golf with his family on weekends at the age of seven.

Last year, he began participating in tournaments. “My Dad taught me to play golf but this year I started going to Bob Gartner at Colts Neck Country Club and Louis Hampton at Jumping Brook Country Club. My older sister Haley also gives me pointers,” he said.

Remy is part of the PGA Junior League, which is open to boys and girls. Interested players of all backgrounds and skill levels, as well as youth with disabilities, are welcome. The PGA Junior League has over 42,000 youth participants.

My group scored 5.5 flags out of a total of six to help us advance.” Remy added, “Winning felt amazing because we just won a playoff against a great team.

It went down to a final chip-off to determine the winner. I liked the challenge of this tournament and knew the next one was going to be even harder. I feel lucky to be part of this.” The next tournament was held on the weekend of September 15 and 16 against Syracuse, Suffolk County, and a Delaware, Pennsylvania team.

Though Remy’s team did not win, it was a great experience for him.

happen.” Remy said he may pursue golf as he gets older. “I’m still learning and getting better, so, who knows. My dream would be to play in the NBA, just like Steph Curry and then compete in golf tournaments during the summer!” Remy practices basketball almost every day, plays the flute in the school band, and plays video games and board games at home with his family. “I love to read a lot every night, and like to goof around with friends and my little brother.”

Remy shared some interesting facts about himself. “I write lefty but play sports righty. I’m double jointed and can crack my knuckles any time. And I love to eat all kinds of food. ‘What’s for dinner?’ is my favorite thing to say to my Mom!” Remy’s family includes his mother, Trupti and father Bobby Mander. His 20-year-old sister Haley, who plays golf for Brown University, is studying engineering. His younger brother Kenzie was on the regular season golf team at Jumping Brook this year, and he also plays basketball and soccer.

Bobby Mander shared some of the special qualities he sees in his son. “Remy is relaxed, yet he is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen. He’s self-motivated but he loves to get praise from others.

He never gets excited or nervous in the pressure moment, in fact his golf coach nicknamed him Joe Cool. He’s very funny, always joking around with his brother and friends. He is always thinking of others, some say he’s the kindest person in the family. Although Remy loves video games, such as playing Fortnite and Pixel-Gun online with friends when he can, he is also a straight A student.”

CREATIVE CABINETRY IDEAS SPICE RACK Spice racks are a versatile kitchen accessory! Pack yours with (the obvious) spices, as well as oils, extracts, measuring cups, pot holders and more. The cabinet placement is the most important in this case.

A spice rack should be added as close to the cooking range as possible in the kitchen design.

PANTRY PULLOUT The pantry is the kitchen stockpile. This cabinet can be placed further away from the "work area". Items with a longer shelf life can be stored here at ease. The items that get used the least should be stored towards the bottom of the cabinet, while keeping the upper shelves open for daily kitchen cooking needs.

CABINET PULLOUT Simple but stylish, base cabinet pullouts allow the user access to kitchen tools they would normally have to bend inside of a cabinet to find. These heavy-duty shelves pull up and out from a base cabinet to extend your counter space and maximize storage space in a kitchen corner.

A FUNCTIONAL KITCHEN

By Rachael Buck, Kitchen Expert

Everyone wants a beautiful kitchen, but functionality? Now that's a different story. How do you achieve both form and function? There are many choices when it comes to cabinet pullouts, kitchen pantries, upper cabinet storage, island cabinet arrangement and more. How do you know what's best for you and your family?

First you'll want to evaluate what you use your kitchen for most - do you have a large family to serve dinner for or do you need to bake for church? You'll want to organize cabinets based on importance. If entertainment is number one, you'll want a kitchen island to serve and prepare food. If baking is most important, you'll want a cabinet to organize baking supplies such as cookie sheets and kitchen aid mixers.

Establish the overall workflow that you're trying to achieve. Does the kitchen lead out to a formal dining space or is kitchen island seating the main eating area? How your family will live in the space can help you place appliances, seating, sinks and more. We recommend utilizing your kitchen designer for the best ideas when it comes to this aspect.

We love our neighbors, and when you come see us, mention this article to receive $1,000 toward your home renovation plans! If you're ready to design your kitchen but don't know where to start, we've got you covered.

Family Fall Bucket List

BY HOPE DANIELS

It’s official! Autumn is in full swing and now is the time families need to amp up their outdoor itinerary before the weather goes from dreamy to dreary. From miniature golfing to apple picking to crab hunting - here are some adventurous go-to-and-do goals to check off your fall bucket list.

GRAB A MAP Discover the marvels of nature in your town and encourage the family to go on a biking tour or hiking trail. There are so many parks in the area that have open fields to run in, environmental programs to explore and miles of paths to navigate through. Holmdel Park and Sandy Hook’s five-mile paved Multi-Use Pathway (MUP) are perfect family meeting spots for hours of talking and walking.

PACK A PICNIC BASKET Who wants to eat indoors when you can reserve a seat anywhere in Mother Nature’s kitchen?! Roll out the blanket and host an old-fashioned picnic soirée in your backyard, at a park or even on the beach. Want to make the experience more daring? Make it a ‘No-Tech Allowed’ party.

GEAR UP FOR TEE TIME Practice your swing under the sun or stars as you enjoy hitting a few balls with your brood. From mini-golf courses in Oceanport to Tinton Falls, check out the new fall schedules of these PuttPutt hot spots.

SNAP A SELFIE Whether you are attending a festival, rocking out at a concert, shopping at a farmers’ market, running or watching a local marathon, cheering on your town’s winning football team - be creative and document your exciting excursions. Plus, it will be a perfect fall throwback when the winter blows in.

SEE THE SEA Too cold to swim? No problem! Families can still enjoy living by the water in the fall by renting a boat, going fishing, setting up crab traps or overlooking the bay from a quiet bridge. Whether you want to set sail on the Navesink or paddle on the Shrewsbury, check out the marina locations and schedules in your area offering these seasonal opportunities.

PLAY TAG WITH THE DOG Don’t forget just like you, your furry family members desperately want to frolic in the fresh air for as long as they can. Thompson Park in Lincroft and Hartshorne Woods Park in the Atlantic Highlands offer miles of trails to walk or dash with your best doggie friends.

HOP ON A HAYRIDE Kids love this joyride to scout out the biggest pumpkin or find the ripest apple tree.

Even though the whole experience is done in minutes the memories will last for years.

Then test their problem-solving skills by completing a corn maze and fulfill their thrill-seeking spirits by venturing on a haunted trail.

Medical Acupuncture Neck and back pain. Chronic pain. Intervertebral disk disease. Hip dysplasia. Degenerative joint disease.

Osteoarthritis. Urinary incontinence.

Nerve disorders. Cancer pain. Dental pain. Gastrointestinal disorders. Kidney disease. Inflammatory conditions. Side effects from chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Wobbler syndrome and cervical issues. What do these conditions have in common? All of them can be helped with medical acupuncture.

Medical acupuncture relies on a knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and evidence-based medicine and research to effect a change in the body. A medical acupuncturist starts with a history and physical exam, including a special type of exam called a “myofascial exam.” During a myofascial exam, the practitioner examines the muscles, joints, tendons, and connective tissues that unite all of the body structures, and identifies the sources of pain, discomfort, and dysfunction.

Once these sources are identified, a treatment plan is created to correct the dysfunction through neuromodulation. Neuromodulation involves activating nerve pathways through stimulation of acupuncture points, both at the primary site of the problem and across the patient’s body. When a needle is inserted into an acupuncture point, the nerve fibers near the point are activated and send a signal from the “periphery” (the acupuncture point) to the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and autonomic nervous system (which governs processes like glandular activity, immune functions, digestion, mood, and more). Acupuncture needles also interact with muscles and the connective tissues that surround them to release tension, trigger points, and pain.

Acupuncture is very safe and there are no negative side effects when administered by trained professionals. Possible contraindications include pregnancy (certain points should be avoided), open fractures, bleeding disorders, low white blood cells, and extremely weak or debilitated animals. Placing needles close to tumors is also avoided. Rarely, acupuncture patients may experience a temporary worsening of their conditions. Most side effects are mild and pleasant and include relaxation, improved sleep, and improved digestion and gastrointestinal motility. Most pets do not mind the placement of needles. Some points can be sensitive, but few animals react negatively to the treatment. At Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Tinton Falls, we distract the animals with treats- frozen baby food is a hit, or for one discerning cat, bird videos!

The number of treatments needed varies from patient to patient. For long-standing or severe conditions, a patient may need multiple treatments per week for a few weeks; less severe cases often need fewer treatments spaced further apart. Usually, there will be obvious changes within the first 4-5 treatments that indicate if acupuncture will be a meaningful treatment for that pet.

Our doctors who perform medical acupuncture are also specialists in other disciplines and bring that knowledge and experience to their acupuncture treatments. Dr. Michelle Morges is a board certified veterinary medical oncologist; Dr. Alison Smith and Dr. Melina Zimmerman are both board certified veterinary anesthesiologists.

All have undergone extensive training through Curacore Integrative Medicine and Education Center for veterinary medical acupuncture.

(Dr. Smith has also received training through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society.) This training includes extensive review of anatomy and physiology, focusing on nerves and muscles, and the relationship of acupuncture points to these structures. We have appointments available for consultation and treatment seven days a week.

Get your pet up and running again!

Medical acupuncture can improve chronic pain, nerve disorders, degenerative joint disease, wound healing—and even some allergies!

Call us to see if medical acupuncture or our other services would be beneficial for your pet.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth and Middlesex Counties

Held 12th Annual Beach Volleyball Tournament Photos: Tom Zapcic Photography

A beautiful day greeted Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties (BBBSMMC) as they held its 12th Annual Beach Volleyball Tournament on September 16th on Main Street Beach in Manasquan. The event was presented by Starbucks, Surf Taco, and Gee Gee’s Pizzeria.

The tournament included 28 teams, each raised at least $75 in order to participate. There were two divisions; one competitive and one recreational. Each division had its own set of prizes and trophies, including a $1,000 prize for the competitive division winner generously donated by Surf Taco. Prizes were also distributed to the highest fundraising team, and highest fundraising individual.

“Our Volleyball Tournament continues to grow each year and we are grateful for the support of the community that helps us raise funds for our 1-to-1 mentoring programs. The event was a fantastic day on the beach and the result is more volunteer Big Brothers and Big Sisters being matched with children in our community,” said William A. Salcedo, Executive Director of BBBSMMC. “Thank you to everyone who sponsored, participated and volunteered for this incredible event.”

The tournament goal was to raise money to continue to enhance the quality and expand the programs that BBBSMMC provides. Its mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. Currently there are over 700 children ages 6-18 building relationships with their Bigs that will help them develop personally, socially and academically. The program is solely run on the support from the community through individual gifts, grants and special events.

Bernie, Baseball...and All That Jazz

The Show: Last month, CM featured an interview with Bernie Williams, a New York Yankees four-time World Series Champion and now a Latin Grammy-nominated guitarist and composer.

Bernie grew up in Puerto Rico where he discovered his love for baseball and music at roughly the same time. At a young age, he fell in love with the sounds of a flamenco guitar his merchant-marine father brought home from Spain, and also felt the same exhilaration when he first picked up a baseball bat. His passion for muBernie Williams with CM’s sic never waned, and the sound LiliAnn Paras of his guitar was often heard in the clubhouse and team flights during his 16-year career as a centerfielder for the Yankees.

Bernie, along with his All-Star Band, filled the Grunin Center with an evening of music, featuring fusions of jazz, rock, and the tropical rhythms of his Latin heritage. The band played many original songs composed by Bernie and also put a spin on old favorites from Van Morrison, Joe Cocker and others. After the show, there was a meet and greet where Bernie, warm and friendly, met with his many fans taking time to chat with each one. There was a real feeling of joy in the audience that night.

Master Class: Bernie believes in collaboration and sharing music and so prior to taking the Grunin Center stage on September 8th, the Ocean County College Jazz Band had the unique opportunity to have a Master Class and jam session with him.

The Grunin Center offers Master Classes to local high school and college students. It invites professional artists who are in town performing to help students hone their crafts and skills.

Bernie observed and listened to the Jazz Band play, offering his professional feedback, before jumping in and jamming along with the group on several more numbers. He of course had special tips for the student guitar players in the group.

DI VORCE TA LK

BY PET ER C . PA R A S , ESQ.

Prove It! A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX full of rubber bands? That’s what was left of the stashes of cash my client said her husband kept (bound with rubber bands) in several banks in New York City. He either got a warning and cleaned out the cash before we got there (leaving the rubber bands as a wink), he thought rubber bands were valuable enough to keep in a vault, or my client was wrong about the cash. I doubt she was wrong.

Whatever the real answer, we were left without cash and only rubber bands for evidence. This was a sad story when it happened, but has come to illustrate, for me, how important proof is. The husband’s response was, “What cash?

I never had cash.” And how were we to now prove otherwise?

Over the years clients have often told me they believe, they think, or they know their spouse is hiding money.

But, without proof, beliefs, thoughts and knowledge are worthless. Barring

an admission by the spouse, the court will require evidence to prove these contentions. That’s why it is important to gather evidence early, before it disappears.

Electronic access to bank account records can disappear in the time it takes to change a password. Paper documents can be shredded almost as quickly.

This doesn’t necessarily eliminate the evidence altogether, but can make it harder, more time consuming, and more expensive to find. Without some records as a starting point, finding hidden accounts is like finding a needle in a haystack. You can find it, but it will take keen eyes and a lot of time. That is why, if divorce becomes a possibility, preserving whatever records are available before they disappear is so important.

Some records are better than no records and a lot is better than some.

worth of income tax returns is a good place to start your document gathering.

Paystubs, bank statements, and credit card statements, are often easily obtainable and can answer numerous financial questions. Household bills for the mortgage, utilities, insurance, car payments, health care providers, and other recurring expenses will allow you to create a budget that will help you determine your need for monthly cash flow and will help you prove it as well.

So, gather what you can and share it with your lawyer.

Together you will decide whether what you have is enough or only a beginning. Will you need a private investigator, a forensic accountant, or just a tech savvy friend to help you with your online search?

Each case is different so it is vitally important to start early in tandem with your attorney. This will increase your chances of finding the cash, not just the rubber bands.

Turning Wine into Water STORY CATHY PADILLA

JESSE & JON BON JOVI PARTNER WITH FRENCH WINEMAKER GÉRARD BERTRAND Hampton Water. It could be a reference to the beautiful beaches of Long Island, or maybe a new brand of fancy spring water, but instead it’s something entirely unique.

Take one-part award-winning music icon, one part acclaimed French winemaker, and two parts ambitious college student and what you’ll have is the new premium rosé wine company that has been named among the five best rosé wines in the world.

Conceived and run by Jesse Bongiovi, the second of Jon Bon Jovi’s four children with his wife Dorothea, Hampton Water was announced in January and launched by Jon

Bon Jovi and Gérard Bertrand this past February.

Jesse, a recent Notre Dame football player and graduate, grew up in Monmouth County and spent his summers in the Hamptons with his family. Rosé was always the drink of choice for the Bongiovis, with Jon referring to the wine as ‘pink juice’.

“We’ve been going out to the Hamptons my whole life, and rosé is basically all anyone drinks out there,” said Jesse. “My parents are big rosé drinkers, it’s my dad’s drink of choice. So once I turned 21, my junior year of college, one night sitting on

the porch with my dad he offered me a glass of pink juice. I looked at him and was like, listen Dad, you’re sitting in the Hamptons, you’re sitting on the beach, you’re not drinking pink juice anymore you’re drinking Hampton water. And the idea was born. The next day I was still bugging him about it, and he was like ‘go figure it out and if you have a serious idea, bring it back to me.’ Six months later I had met with everyone including distributors and had put together a concept and told my dad I wasn’t messing around and wanted to know what he thought. And he loved the idea.”

on and Jesse began exploring options to create a new wine as a real enterprise, designing bottles and building on concepts.

They were introduced to Gérard Bertrand by a mutual friend and the three quickly developed a shared vision to create a unique rosé, uniting the essence of the relaxed lifestyles of the Hamptons and the South of France.

“We’d tried rosé from everywhere,” said Jesse. “But when we visited Gérard, we realized that there is an entire coastline in France that is producing some of the best-kept secrets on Earth.”

Coincidently, Jon Bon Jovi and Gérard Bertrand, both giants in their respective fields, had a lot in common.

“We just hit it off immediately,” Jon says of their first meeting. “We found that we shared a love of family, food, friends, and of course, great wine and great music.” Gérard Bertrand hosts a jazz festival at his main wine estate, Château l’Hospitalet, each year. “For me the connection between wine and music is organic,” says Gérard Bertrand. “I want to create a link between the emotions that spark off a great song and good wine.

They elevate each other.”

Wanting to produce the best possible product, Jon and Jesse were very hands-on in the wine-making process. They took a number of visits to Gérard Bertrand’s wineries in the South of France, as well as numerous blending and tasting sessions, before they felt the wine was ready. The wine is described as a fresh and lively rosé, with distinctive minerality, featuring Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, grape varieties characteristic of the French Mediterranean region.

An entrepreneurial young man, with a strong work ethic and an impressive college record, Jesse takes little for granted. His parents taught him to grit his teeth, do his best, and show up every day to work his hardest toward success. Feeling as though he needs to put in twice as much effort, Jesse sees himself as separate from his father’s fame.

“It’s not that people don’t expect me to work hard, but they’re still surprised when I do,” said Jesse. “They don’t expect me to do things. They say that I don’t act like I have a famous dad. At the end of the day, it’s great and amazing. But it’s not me. He’s my dad, and

he’s had a crazy life, and he has worked hard for all of the things he has been able to do. But that’s my dad, and this is me. I’ve always felt in my head that I have to do things, I have to work twice as hard, I have to be twice as much, to make a name for myself because I have all of this in the background.”

Having planned to have a career in finance for most of his life, when Jesse graduated he took a job for a small start-up for nearly a year then threw himself headfirst into the wine industry and his new company.

“Basically, ‘company’ is kind of a strong word that I laugh at,” said Jesse with a chuckle.

“Right now, it’s me and my college roommate, Ali Thomas, who handle the day-to-day business.

All of the sales, a lot of the logistics, some of the social media and marketing, getting things to places – which is unbelievably stressful. My dad is obviously there, and he helps us for what we call the ‘big boy’ meetings when me and my buddy can’t be the ones who walk in. Places like Fontainebleau down in Miami. It’s nice when two young guys walk in, and the wine is really good, and they like the story, but my dad is there to help with the wow factor. So at a place like Fontainebleau they’ll talk to us as opposed to telling us to wait in the lobby.”

Learning as they go, bottle design was an area where Jesse and his roommate, turned business partner, faced some challenges.

“We hadn’t had any formal marketing training, but we knew we wanted something timeless,” said Jesse. “Our original concept was to have the bottle shrink wrapped and we wanted the top half white and the bottom half to be clear shrink wrap so you would see the pink wine. It would create an illusion of the woman diver on the bottle diving into the rosé. She was turning water, the white top, into wine. So that was the original idea. And when we met with Gérard he looked at us as though we had ten heads. Then he explained all the reasons why that wouldn’t work and basically said, no shrink wrap, what else you got?”

Once things got rolling, both a public relations team and social media expert were hired to help. But learning the trade and building a brand has required long days and more work, travel, and learning than anticipated. He calls it a “sprinter’s education” and Jesse seems content to spend sixteen hours a day working whenever necessary, which is necessary seven days a week.

He credits generations of Bongiovis with giving

him the drive for success and enjoys that he is part of a legacy of business owners.

“Working with my dad is cool,” shared Jesse.

“It’s great because it’s a new experience for both of us. It’s not like I’m trying to get into the music industry and he’s directing me what to do. This has been a good way we can both work and learn together, face different problems, and look at each other and kind of go – what do we do now?

It’s awesome to look at my dad, who has been in many different businesses over 35 years, and to be able to say, what do we do now? It’s been super helpful having him around. And it’s been a lot of fun.”

Jon calls working with his son an “amazing experience”. And as Jesse exudes gratitude for the beliefs his father and mother raised him with, one can see the lack of pretension or entitlement in a young man who perhaps would be expected to have both.

“Growing up with my dad was just normal. As a little kid I remember not understanding why my friends’ dads didn’t go on tour,” laughed Jesse. “It just was normal to me. And as I got older I started to realize that someone who can have that big of a career is incredibly rare. All the lessons he’s taught me as a dad teaching his son, I realize it ended up being a master class in business. To be able to watch him, and the things that he does, and the lessons that he taught me throughout my life…those aren’t things that maybe every other person is hearing. And if you’re able to really implement what he’s shown me, you realize those are the traits that make a great business man and a truly successful individual. I got to do things growing up that most kids don’t get to do, and you don’t realize that until you’re a little older. There were parts that were really normal and now at 23 I realize I have a dad who is amazing. To make it to the hall of fame of anything is a serious lesson. And to be able to have my dad as a mentor has been unbelievable.”

IT TAKES THREE JON BON JOVI Global rock icon Jon Bon Jovi has built a legacy leading one of the most successful rock bands in the world for over three decades. With over 130 million albums sold and more than 2,900 concerts performed in over 50 countries, Jon has earned a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2009) while his Grammy winning band, Bon Jovi, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2018.

Discover a Love of Learning at

Oak Hill Academy OPEN HOUSE

Saturday, October 27, 2018 10:00am to 1:00pm For Grades PreK through 8 Scholarships and Tuition Assistance Available

EXCELLENCE, ENVIRONMENT ENRICHING EXPERIENCE

Oak Hill Academy Students know “Determination is Success” Every student is excited about his or her first day of school. Each new school year at Oak Hill Academy begins with a school wide assembly where the school’s Headmaster, Mr. Joseph Pacelli, not only welcomes the students, but also introduces them to a theme for the year. This theme is intended to be a guiding force for the students and to help them be better persons as they learn and develop. Oak Hill Academy’s 2018-2019 theme is “Determination is Success” and was inspired by an article about Dr. Fernanda Brito. Dr. Brito is a woman from Brazil who came to the United States alone and with no money, but was determined to get an education and a better life. After overcoming many adversities, she received her Doctorate from New York University.

Mr. Pacelli went on to encourage the students to always give their best, learn from their mistakes, and be willing to take risks. In fact, he explained that determination was a better indicator of future success than test scores.

He asked them to take advantage of the opportunities at Oak Hill and challenge themselves. As he always says, “the best is yet to come!”

Right: Headmaster Pacelli enjoyed greeting individual students as they began their first day at Oak Hill this year.

Holmdel Hornets 10U Travel Softball Team Wins Big! The Holmdel Hornets 10U Travel Softball Team is the 2017 Union Middlesex County (UMCNJ) Fall League Champion, the 2018 USABL Spring League Champion, and the 2018 AllShore 10U Summer League Champion.

Coach Jason Dulow said, “We have three philosophies throughout our travel softball program. First and foremost, we want the girls to have fun. Secondly, we ask the girls to support their teammates, and finally we want the girls to get better each and every time they are at a game or practice. This team has exemplified those philosophies. They have created some wonderful relationships both on and off the field. I have had the honor of coaching some of these girls since they were 5-years-old and to see how far they have come since hitting off of a tee is truly amazing.”

The Up-Lifting Statistics on Facial Surgeries & Therapies According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), cosmetic surgery procedures that saw the most significant increases in 2017 included neck lifts, up over 20%, to address sagging skin on the neck; and facelifts, up almost 22%, to rid loose facial skin, wrinkles, and correct jowling. Eyelid surgery, referred to as a blepharoplasty, was up over 26%. A bleph addresses drooping upper eyelids and puffy bags under the eyes.

This may surprise you. Among both women and men, the third most popular surgical procedure was blepharoplasty with 145,390 procedures performed. However, it ranked fifth (123,079 procedures) for women but second (22,311 procedures) among men!

A non-surgical procedure that saw a significant increase in 2017 was non-surgical skin tightening (up 15.1%). Nonsurgical skin tightening, like Ultherapy® is great for early skin laxity on patients with good skin tone and elasticity.

Ultherapy, is an option for people looking for an alternative to surgery, anesthesia, and recovery time. It is intended for the face, neck, and chest and helps achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance. Ultherapy uses safe ultrasound to revive the collagen building process. Producing more of your own collagen will help you anti-age, naturally. It’s FDAcleared: only one treatment is needed; there’s no downtime; and it takes about an hour in your doctor’s office.

When choosing a doctor, make sure you are talking with board-certified plastic surgeons. Review their before and after photos to see whether their aesthetic style appeals to you. You’ll want to choose a physician who regularly performs facial surgeries and therapies so he or she is are familiar with the procedure.

Hillsdale Road Bridge in Colts Neck Reopens The Hillsdale Road Bridge (A-4) over Big Brook reopened recently with a ribbon cutting ceremony after nine months of closure. The new concrete bridge retains two lanes of traffic with upgraded guard rails, drainage, and approach roadways. The bridge was replaced due to the deterioration of the original wooden structure, built in 1945.

Freeholder Director Arnone spoke at the ceremony attended by local officials, residents, and business owners. “We appreciate the cooperation and patience of all the residents who may have been inconvenienced during the construction period,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the County’s Department of Public Works and Engineering. “I’m happy to say they will find a much-improved structure that is one of many in the county to have been significantly upgraded this year.”

“You may not appreciate it if you do not live or travel in this area, but the residents and business owners of Colts Neck, including myself, are thrilled to see this bridge reopened,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry.

Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry (front, right) presented a bottle of wine as a thank you to the Montana Construction representative (front, left), courtesy of 4JG’s Winery, whose business lies directly adjacent to the bridge. Joining her for the photo were (l to r) Colts Neck Committeeman Michael Viola, Freeholder Gerry Scharfenberger, Freeholder Director Tom Arnone, and Freeholder Pat Impreveduto.

Beyond the Brand

Jeffrey Delano Davis

By LiliAnn Paras What a joy it is to discover the unknown facets of the lives led by our neighbors, beyond the local businesses they are known for. I met Jeffrey Delano Davis at the Navesink Business Networking Group. He always has a compelling presentation, and rightly so, as he is the founder of Speak Clear Communications located in Red Bank and New York City, a boutique company to help executives, actors and others to deliver presentations, speeches, lose accents, acquire accents- anything required to deliver “killer presentations.” Recently, Jeff off-handedly invited the group to catch him on Rachel Dratch’s comedy show, Late Night Snack, on truTV. This sparked a great deal of interest in Jeff’s “other life”. It turns out he earned an MFA from Rutgers University and is an accomplished actor, director and screenwriter, with credits ranging from television and film to regional and off- Broadway theater. He is in the process of wrapping up his original screenplay, Three Sonnets, being filmed in his hometown of Red Bank where he lives with his wife, Maria and daughters Vera, 3 and Josie,1. CM sat with Jeff recently to learn more about his background and upcoming film.

CM: HOW DID THE ACTING ALL START? Jeffrey Delano Davis (JDD): I grew up in Boston and I come from an old New England family. (Jeff traces his roots to FDR and the Quincys.)

As a little kid, I was always making up imaginary worlds with my twin brother. He was my first scene partner. We would disappear into another room and make up scenes together. It was always great to make him laugh, and hearing that laughter was my first hook, feeling, “Yeah, this is good stuff.”

CM: AND YET, ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE ROLES WAS PLAYING A PSYCHOPATH. JDD: (Laughs) About two years ago, I originated the part of Arnold in an Off-Broadway play called Troll at Secret Theater, one of my favorite theaters in NYC. He was an internet troll outed and fighting for his life and was something of a psychopath. In another Off-Broadway play, Pavilion, I played a love-sick psychologist who was making up for past wrongs. It was a beautiful play, and well received. He had done something terrible as a teen but was a really sweet guy. He was the opposite (of the other part) so it was really interesting to play these messy guys who were at two different ends of the emotional spectrum. But, I was also in Late Night Snack, a comedic sketch show. And recently I have gotten a little more interested in filmmaking and I wrote, directed and shot a film called Three Sonnets, which definitely has a strong comedic element.

CM: WHAT WAS YOUR PATH FROM BOSTON TO MONMOUTH COUNTY? JDD: I moved to NYC in my twenties with $75 in my shoe. I survived the first few years, acting and performing and working at a coffee shop. I would get up at 5:00 a.m., run from the apartment in the East Village over to a coffee shop on 5th Avenue, serve coffee until 2:00 p.m., go to rehearsal for a show, and then perform it at night. I was part of a couple of theater companies including Expanded Arts which started Shakespeare in the Parking Lot. Seven years ago, I came to Monmouth (laughs) “kicking and screaming” but I’ve come to really really love it.

Directing “Three Sonnets”

Jeffrey Delano Davis with his daughers, Vera & Josie

I’ve realized there are so many creative things and creative people here.

I attended the Monmouth Film Festival, I‘ve been to Two River Theater a bunch of times- I even auditioned for John Diaz at TRT, I auditioned for New Jersey Repertory Theater, and I’ve seen excellent shows at Count Basie.

CM: IS YOUR FOCUS MORE ON ACTING OR ON FILMMAKING? JDD: Recently I have gotten a little more interested in filmmaking. I’m editing Three Sonnets right now and hope to submit it to the Tribeca Film Festival in December. It’s about an actor who takes his dream job acting in a Shakespeare play, but unfortunately takes it at the wrong time- it’s three days before his wife’s due date. He gets kicked out of the house and has to find a way to get back in her good graces. He falls back on his acting skills to do so and it’s really about the tension between trying to be creative and be a family guy at the same time. I did a lot of work to find sonnets (for the play) because I didn’t want to just use Shakespeare sonnets. I found American sonnets by Conrad Aiken, a southerner and Pulitzer prize winner.

(Note: You can view the script on line at jeffreydelanodavis.com.)

CM: WHERE CAN PEOPLE SEE “THREE SONNETS”?

JDD: I was thinking about approaching the people at BowTie Cinema in Red Bank and asking, eventually when the film is done and it goes the festival route, if they want to show it before the movies. It’s ten minutes and shot in Red Bank.

CM: WHAT IS YOUR DREAM PROJECT? JDD: (Laughs) Working with Lin Manuel Miranda would be great. Right now I am really focusing a lot on filmmaking. I would like to write something that is Red Bank specific. I’d like to write a short film or feature that addresses issues this community faces in terms of socioeconomic tensions in the town.

There seems to be a railroad that goes through the town that literally divides the town- “the other side of the tracks.” When I go to the park with my kids and see other kids playing, and see issues they are facing and the different communities that are trying to coexist in this town, ideas percolate in my head but are very unformed right now. I am still auditioning, usually for television.

I’ve auditioned for The Blacklist a number of times and Bluebloods. Any time they need tall lawyer types, or goofy guys. I’ll do whatever they need.

Jeffrey Delano Davis in “The Pavilion” written by Craig Wright at the Producer’s Club in New York City, directed by Michael Kostroff.

CM: I KNOW SPEAK CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS HELPS ACTORS, CORPORATE SPEAKERS AND SPEECHMAKERS. WHAT SHOULD READERS KNOW ABOUT YOUR SERVICES? JDD: I started Speak Clear Communications in 2005 when I was just coming out of drama school and thinking that I have a lot of secrets about performing. It seemed that performers held on to those secrets- about how to perform, how to stay relaxed while you present, how to project your voice - a lot that doesn’t get shared with the corporate world. So, I decided I would try to share that.

One success story was with a woman giving the commencement address for Columbia University in NY. We worked a really long time crafting a speech that had a strong call to action about homelessness. She had this one moment in the speech where she asked the audience to look around the Beacon Theater, and she pointed out that the homeless in New York could fill the theater up three or four times. It was so powerful that she received a standing ovation and she was hooked on speaking. And I was hooked.

Right now, the focus is on HR executives who can spot the employees who may be geniuses with technology, or brilliant managerially, but just can’t articulate. Or they stumble with their words or struggle with their PowerPoints or clam up or get really nervous.

I also help with accents. When I was in drama school I learned the International Phonetic Alphabet, a phonetic system you can apply to any language. I learned to do accents for acting and I also reversed the process to help with accent reduction and articulation for my clients.

CM: HOW CAN READERS REACH YOU? JDD: CM Readers can find out more about Speak Clear Communications at speakclearcommunications.com. I have a blog offering tips on Public Speaking and Accent Reduction, blog.speakclearcommunications.com. Also, I am always looking for new scripts and for a project to direct. My acting and screenwriting information can be found at jeffreydelanodavis.com.

CM: ANY ADVICE FOR THOSE STARTING OUT IN SHOW BUSINESS? JDD: I think it is really important to do your own thing in the industry because it can be really hard and unfair. And it can be easy to get down about the odds of finding work, but if you create your own projects and stay positive, then I think it is possible to continue on and make it into a long term thing.

Focus on the marathon rather than the short sprint.

Phil Bruschi Sings The Music of James Taylor & John Denver at the Colts Neck Library Join in on October 27th at 2:00 p.m. for an afternoon of music with Phil Bruschi. Phil will be singing and educating you on the music of James Taylor & John Denver. He has had a long career in the entertainment business and it started at age nine when he first studied percussion as a drummer. Over the years, Phil has played all types of music from jazz to rock.

The music of James Taylor and John Denver continues to entertain large audiences with their record sales even today. Both singer songwriters have carved out their own fan base over the years, with extraordinary numbers. Taylor still writes, records, and performs to sold out audiences all over the world. Denver, who died tragically in a plane crash in 1997 at the age of 53, left a legacy not only as a musician, but as an active environmental humanitarian. Although their musical styles were somewhat different, they had more in common than it appears.

More than 85 years of dedication, passion, integrity and professionalism.

Our Love/Hate Relationship with All-Things Alcohol

By Diana Pittet

AS THE CREATOR OF A GRADUATE SEMINAR AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ON THE “HISTORY, CULTURE, AND POLITICS OF DRINKING,” I LOVE THAT THIS ISSUE OF CM IS DEVOTED TO OKTOBERFEST AND OTHER LIBATIONS. This annual, beer-centric celebration in Munich has become a global phenomenon outside of Germany. Note that Wiesn, as it’s often called in Germany, is chiefly limited to its city of origin and mainly happens in September, not October. But Oktoberfest is a fun, engaging way to give craft, European-style beers their due here in New Jersey and to acknowledge Germany’s enduring legacy in shaping the way we consume beer in the U.S., transforming our nation back in the mid-19th century into a country of lager drinkers. Until then, whiskey, cider, and ale were the ways that we whetted our whistle.

What other annual festivity has the power to place something alcoholic front and center? Maybe New Year’s Eve for sparkling wines and seasonal tipples.

Otherwise, for most of the year, booze takes a back seat in print media. And then there’s the sticky issue that alcohol is a sticky issue. I understand why. Whereas most foods can be consumed by most people, alcohol is restricted to those over 21 years old in the U.S. Everyone must eat, no one needs to drink anything but water, and thus many choose to abstain from alcohol or be moderate in their consumption. Let’s not blame the Puritans for our complicated feelings about alcohol.

For them, beer and wine were a necessity, for nutrition, hydration, and good cheer. Instead, let’s acknowledge that alcohol has been a loaded issue throughout the world despite the fact that we humans have been intentionally drinking alcohol for at least 9,000 years.

For the most part, we’ve enjoyed a long love affair with fermented and distilled beverages. What’s not to love?

Alcohol has been there for us, as it was for the Puritans, for nutrition and hydration, as well as for medicine, celebration, solace, rituals, social gatherings, and income.

In short, it’s been a dutiful partner.

In truth, however, it’s been a rocky love affair. Our coun-

try even tried to call it quits for good on the relationship by passing the 18th Amendment in 1919 which prohibited the production, transport, and sale--but not consumption--of alcohol. We weren’t the only ones. Around the same time, Russia instituted a prohibition that lasted from the last czar of the Russian Empire in 1914 to the despotic rule of Stalin in 1925, a period of 12 years.

A full-time resident of Asbury Park, Diana Pittet is an adjunct professor at NYU, where she teaches a graduate seminar on the History, Culture, and Politics of Drinking, from the neolithic period to the present day. Outside the classroom, she owns Night Owl Hospitality, a cocktail catering company in Asbury Park, and leads cocktail and prohibition tours in New York City.

Ever since we humans transitioned from hunter gatherers to agriculturalists and figured out a way to grow crops, grains and grapes, that can be fermented into an intoxicating beverage, some sort of institution, either religious, cultural, or political, regulated who gets to drink what, where, and when. Never has there been a society with completely free license to produce and consume alcohol.

That control is an effort, often executed in vain, to mitigate alcohol’s duality. Since alcohol can be both salubrious and deleterious, depending on whether it’s drunk moderately or is abused through overconsumption, balance is enforced through an institutional power.

As Rod Phillips writes in his engaging, comprehensive book, Alcohol: A History, “Alcohol has been ascribed complicated, often contradictory, set of values that have varied over time and place, and that are interwoven with the complexities of power, gender, class, ethnicity, and age in the societies in which it is consumed….

Most authorities have historically tried to mitigate the worst effects of alcohol by surrounding its production, distribution, and consumption by regulations.”

It is this intersection of alcohol and power that lies at the center of my course at NYU. It is here where one can analyze how intoxicants have shaped human history and expressed cultural values. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates a variety of academic disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, economics, ecology, history, and politics, this full-credit, semester-long seminar explores such topics as religion and alcohol; alcohol’s role in the spread of civilization; coffee, tea, and colonialism; the link between taxation and alcohol; slavery and rum; and, of course, prohibition.

So what’s the problem with alcohol?

I don’t need to tell you. We all know, some of us too well, the painfully negative side of alcohol. It can ruin lives, relationships, productivity, and communities. And yet we, as a global society, can’t quit it. Yet, we nevertheless always try to control it.

As you raise a pint of New Jersey-brewed beer, or a glass of fine wine, or choose not to, during Oktoberfest, consider all that’s represented in your glass or the person’s next to you: the cultural, historical, and political forces that created that fermented beverage and encouraged you to drink it...or not.

- Cheers!
