NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

J

ust around the corner is Memorial Day, and I know all of us can’t wait for the unofficial kick-off to the summer with this anticipated three-day weekend! Memorial Day, to many folks, is for relaxing and barbecuing with loved ones, but let’s not forget the true meaning of this federal holiday, which is to commemorate our U.S. soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Community Magazine wants to thank all our military service members, who dedicate their lives for our freedom and keep us safe at home.

With spring finally here, and summer around the corner, we finally have steady, beautiful weather, something to be grateful for (minus the allergies and occasional rainfall). With this, we have entered a season of outdoor events, you can find many events listed on page 10 of this issue of Community Magazine that are family friendly and even some that are unique, definitely worth checking out.

NEWCOMERS AND NEIGHBORS CLUB

Welcome Spring During A Visit To Dearborn Market

Left to right: Newcomers and Neighbors President Linda Kudler, Publicity Chair Linda Orriss, Recording Secretary Helene Kalkay, and Vice President Sue Quincannon arrived an informative planting demonstration at Dearborn Market on April 11, 2013.

Welcome Spring!

That was the intention of the Newcomers and Neighbors Club on April 11 during their visit to Dearborn Market in Holmdel. The group, whose membership includes residents of Colts Neck and Holmdel, as well as other nearby communities, socialized while enjoying a light continental-style breakfast prior to their brief business meeting.

Next, a knowledgeable Dearborn employee, Geri, offered her expertise on specific types of containers used for perennials and small shrubs, the best plant soil to utilize, and how to attempt to outsmart the deer and groundhogs that boldly go where none should go – the ladies’ beloved plants! Geri explained what plants were best to plant side by side in planters and offered ideas for specific arrangements. Her demonstration was informative as well as entertaining. The group asked questions and shared their own experiences with deer and groundhogs.

A beautiful lantern donated by the Newcomers and Neighbors Bunco Club was raffled off and won

by Barbara Langhans. Bunco Chairperson Lois LaSalle noted that the proceeds from the raffle would go to Colts Neck Community Church as a thank you for allowing the Bunco Group to meet there. As the women left the meeting they were given a goody bag from Dearborn that included a 4-inch pot containing a colorful Viola.

The Newcomers and Neighbors Club is open to any new or long-time resident of the Monmouth County area, for more information call 732.526.7648 or 732.530.9543.

HOLMDEL COMMUNITY DAY & HYAA BASEBALL BONANZA

H

olmdel Recreation and HYAA combined their efforts to produce a fun-filled informative Community Day held on April 20 at Cross Farm Park. HYAA baseball teams led the parade that began at Village School and ended at the park. Food and merchandise vendors, community businesses, and displays by the Police, First Aid, and Fire Department were on hand to interact with the community. Little ones enjoyed going through the bouncy inflatables, as well as taking a ride on the yellow train. Older children could make crafts or have their face painted.

Community Day was a perfect time to continue with the next fundraiser for Holmdel Helps. A $1.00 donation included drawing or writing on a sticker that will be placed on a small potted petunia. These flowers will be given to Principal Mr. Craig Palmer of Port Monmouth Road School in Keansburg for distribution to the young children just before Mother’s Day to give to their moms. Darlene Kiss, Appointed Board Liaison for Village School, said DePalma Farms agreed to discount the cost of approximately 350 flowers. A free wind chime was given to each family that donated. Students from W. R. Satz School in Holmdel assisted with this fundraiser throughout Community Day. Mayor Patrick Impreveduto, Deputy Mayor Eric Hinds, Committeeman Joseph Ponisi, and President of the HYAA Dr. Gerald DiMaso attended Community Day. Holmdel Fire Co#1 served food, as did Holmdel Kiwanis Club. Holmdel Police had their newest car on display, as well as offering rides to young children on their Seat Belt Safety ride. Representatives from Holmdel Foundation for Education Excellence, Holmdel Board of Education, Holmdel Teachers Education Association all handed out informative brochures about their organizations. Realtors, Insurance Agents, and the Monmouth County Health Department also participated in this event.

Hi-Lo Spring Fling TO BENEFIT LINCROFT VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY

Left to right standing: Several members of the Lincroft Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary gather for a picture during their Hi-Lo Spring Fling fundraiser on April 12, 2013. They are Christine Sanpietro, Kerri Doherty, Maria Dunn, Bridget Matthews, Mary Jean Kelly; kneeling left to right: Tracy Nimon, and Aimee Russo.

T

he Ladies Auxiliary presented their Hi-Lo Spring Fling on April 12 at the Lincroft Fire House. Over 75 enthusiastic ladies from the community attended the event, all looking forward to a fun-filled evening and hoping to win a prize. According to the Ladies Auxiliary Vice President Maria Dunn, everyone goes home with a prize.

Hi-Lo is a no-skills-required card game that evokes laughter and silliness from the ladies who arrive to play. There are multiple winners in each game and winners are able to select their own prize from a table filled with over 100 wrapped “surprise” gifts. Added to the enjoyment is the fact that each guest brings snacks and beverages for their individual group. Socializing, snacking, and a carefree evening make this event a favorite with the community. Dessert, coffee, and tea are provided by the Ladies Auxiliary. Gifts donated by Crystal and Shelly, Aleo’s Italian Specialties, Joyce’s Sub and Pizza, WhatNotz, Genevieve’s Roses, Black Belt Taekwondo School, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Stage Coach Design, Lia Sophia Jewelry, and a gift certificate from an interior designer became part of a basket raffle.

The Ladies Auxiliary supports the Lincroft Fire Company by providing assistance during their various functions and coordinating fundraisers. They also supply food and beverages to the firefighters when they return from fire calls, as well as to those who remain “on call” at the firehouse during a state of emergency. Proceeds from this and past events allow the Ladies Auxiliary to purchase needed equipment for the firefighters.

Current members of the Lincroft Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary include Sharon Davidson, Jamie DeSantis, Kerri Jean Doherty, Maria Dunn, Dorothy Fowler, Joyce Hatter, Mary Jean Kelly, Lucy Kennelly, Bridget Matthews, Gayle McKnight, Tracy Nimon, Aimee Russo, Christine Sanpietro, and Mary Ann Tanis. New members are always welcomed to join either the Lincroft Fire Company or the Ladies Auxiliary.

There is the possibility of another Hi-Lo event in the fall of this year.

Jazz Up Pizza Night at Home Pizza is a staple for many, but with a simple twist and the collaboration of the entire family, making pizza at home can turn a pizza night into a much-anticipated night of fun for the entire family.

“Pizza is an easy solution for busy families, but it doesn’t mean that you have to resort to ordering in,” said Gabrielle Wesley, at Pillsbury. “Including the children in making pizza can be a great opportunity to spend time together and serve a delicious dinner the whole family will enjoy.”

For a creative twist on traditional pizza, try flavoring the pizza crust, which infuses the extra flavor parents are looking for in their meals while still providing a simple dinnertime favorite for the entire family. Moms can flavor the crust with ingredients like garlic butter, herbs or parmesan cheese. Kids can join in on the fun by adding the fresh toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats and veggies.

For creative inspiration, Pillsbury offers a variety of delicious and easy recipe ideas for home-baked pizza with flavored crust – from Garlic Butter Crusted Margherita Pizza to Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza and even Parmesan Crusted Chicken Alfredo Pizza, to name a few.

Try serving a surefire crowd-pleaser that showcases a simple but delicious twist on the family favorite with the Garlic Butter Crusted Margherita Pizza recipe:

Ingredients • 2 teaspoons olive oil • 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved • 1/2 teaspoon chopped roasted garlic or chopped garlic • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 can Pillsbury refrigerated classic pizza crust • 2 tablespoons butter, softened • 1 tablespoon chopped roasted garlic or chopped garlic • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced • 1/4 cup fresh basil strips

More familyfriendly recipes can be found at www.

Pillsbury.com.

Directions • Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease large dark or nonstick cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray; set aside.

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic and the salt. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 to 15 minutes or until tomatoes are thickened, stirring frequently. Set aside; cool slightly.

• Unroll dough on cookie sheet. Press out dough to 15x10-inch rectangle. In small bowl, mix butter and 1 tablespoon roasted garlic. Spread over dough. Bake 7 minutes; remove from oven.

• Evenly distribute tomato mixture over partially baked crust. Top with mozzarella cheese.

• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Sprinkle basil strips over pizza before serving.

By keeping refrigerated pizza dough on hand, parents can quickly and easily turn a night at home into a night of family fun. After dinner, pick a movie for the entire family to enjoy, or better yet, keep the conversation alive with a game of charades, cards or a classic board game. With a little creativity, making pizza at home can be delicious and fun for the whole family. *StatePoint

Operation Provide Comfort RAISES OVER $7000 IN COLTS NECK WITH “TACK A TEN” FOR UNION BEACH Fundraising Drive Focused on Need for Materials to Rebuild

A

s the residents of Union Beach finally begin to rebuild, the need for building materials becomes critical. That is why Operation Provide Comfort volunteers spread out throughout Colts Neck recently, urging residents to “Tack a Ten” to decorated pieces of drywall as part of their fundraising campaign for building materials. The dry wall, designed by Cedar Drive Middle School students under the direction of Art Teacher Mr. Walker, were strategically placed throughout town and residents were urged to “Tack a $10” to the wall. Each piece of dry wall costs approximately $10 and an average size home in Union Beach needs approximately 40 pieces of dry wall to make it livable.

This two day event took place at the opening day festivities for Colts Neck Little League and St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Dunkin Donuts, BuyRite Liquors and Perkins Restaurant & Bakery – raising over $7,000.00 for Union Beach!

How to Make Healthful Eating Fit Your Daily Routine

E

ating right is essential to keeping your body running at its best. But nutrition advice doesn’t always account for people’s varied lifestyles, health needs and tastes. Take some time to review your diet and make positive, sustainable changes. So what’s the “right” way to eat for you? Experts say it’s not as restrictive as you may think.

“There’s sometimes a misperception that eating properly means giving up favorite foods,” says registered dietitian and President of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Ethan A. Bergman. “But including foods you love in your diet can help you stick to your goals.”

As part of the “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” campaign, Bergman suggests that those looking to eat a healthy diet, tailor food choices to meet lifestyle, needs and preferences:

Business People

Busy work days can lead to on-the-fly meals. For desktop dining, keep single-serve packages of crackers, fruit, peanut butter, low-sodium soup or canned tuna in your desk.

Always on the go? Tuck portable, nonperishable foods in your bag for meals on the run. Try granola bars, peanut butter and

crackers, fresh fruit, trail mix or single-serve packages of whole-grain cereal or crackers.

Athletes

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just enjoy working out, what you eat affects your performance. Eat a light meal or snack before exercising, such as low-fat yogurt, a banana or cereal with low-fat milk. Before, during and after exercise, drink plenty of water or a sports drink, if you prefer.

Students

For nutritional, budget-friendly snacking, combine protein and carbohydrates, such as apples and peanut butter, low-fat cheese and whole-grain crackers or hardboiled eggs and fruit. These also double as quick grab-and-go breakfasts.

At the cafeteria, salad bars are a great choice -- just go easy on the high-calorie add-ons.

Families

Family meals allow parents to be role models to ensure kids eat right. And, just because a meal is made quickly doesn’t mean it can’t be nutritious.

Keep things simple. Choose ingredients you can use for more than one meal. For example, cook extra grilled chicken for salad

or fajitas the next day. Get the kids involved.

They can make the salad, set the table or do other simple tasks.

Vegetarians

A vegetarian diet can include just as much variety as one including meat. For example, nutrient-rich beans are a great choice. Enjoy vegetarian chili, a hummus-filled pita sandwich or veggie burger. Many popular items are or can be vegetarian -- pasta primavera, veggie pizza and tofu-vegetable stir-fry.

Meat lovers

Keep your meaty meals heart-healthy by selecting lean cuts and choosing chicken, turkey and fish more often. Avoid deep fried foods. Instead, bake, broil, roast, stew or stirfry your meals.

Set yourself up for success. Consider working with a registered dietitian to develop a personalized eating plan. More tips can be found at www.EatRight.org.

Remember, good nutrition isn’t meant to make you suffer. With exercise and moderation, you can enjoy your favorite foods regularly.

Holmdel PBA#239 Presents Third Beer, Wine, Food Tasting Event Story Susan Murphy

H

olmdel PBA#239 held their third annual Beer, Wine and Food Tasting Event on April 11, 2013 at Addison Park, Aberdeen. The event was sponsored by Wine Sellers of Holmdel, who brought various wine, beer and liquor distributors in so guests could sample their products. Over 350 people attended the four hour event during which they sampled delicious food from over a dozen popular local restaurants. A silent gift auction was a big hit as was the 50/50 raffle. Ray Raya, a local attorney, sponsored a free photo booth and guests could experiment with different hat styles and facial props.

Live music was provided by Holmdel resident Matt O’Ree and his blues-rock band. Matt is a well-respected guitarist in the music business and he and the band have opened shows for national recording artists.

Patrolman Matthew Menosky and Detective Eric Hernando have co-chaired this event for the past three years. Detective Hernando noted that members of the Colts Neck, Hazlet, Aberdeen, and Ocean Township PBA, as well as those from the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office attended the event.

Detective Hernando said that the owners and staff of Addison Park were “incredible hosts.” Their attention to detail helped to make the evening a success. He also thanked the restaurants who donated the food sampled by guests. They included Dearborn Market, Piazza Italia, It’s Greek to Me, La Ginestra, Manfre Boars Head Provisions, and Cold Stone Creamery from Holmdel; Huddy’s Inn and Delicious Orchards from Colts Neck; Mahzu Japanese, Addison Park, DeMarco’s Deli and Catering from Aberdeen; Aby’s Mexican from Matawan; Red Oak Diner, Park East from Hazlet; Drew’s Bayshore Bistro from Keyport; Temple Gourmet Chinese from Red Bank; Windansea from Highlands; CJ McLoone’s from Shrewsbury; and Whipped Bites, a dot-com dessert company.

“Holmdel PBA is a non-profit organization. We donate money to local charities, assist the families of our fallen police officers, and assist with many other needs in the community,” explained Detective Hernando. By purchasing tickets for this event and buying raffle tickets throughout the evening, everyone participated in the great work the PBA does for the community. During the evening, Mr. Raya announced that Holmdel PBA had won the paint ball tournament between 11 departments and he presented Holmdel PBA President Thomas Foley with a trophy.

Recurring Pain?

“Why does my back pain keep coming back?”

O

ne of the most common occurrences is the recurrence of back pain. Billions of dollars are spent every year trying to alleviate back pain. Regardless of treatments physical therapy, pain management (medication), traditional chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, or surgery - back pain has the nasty habit of continuously coming back. Why? As you look around, we are all obviously different shapes and sizes. However, regardless of how we look on the outside, the functional core - skull, spine, and pelvis - is relatively the same in form and function in each and every one of us. The same concept can be applied when taking a measurement such as blood pressure; there are not different normal values depending on body type. The same is true for the spine, there are not different normal values to form and function.

The functional core - skull, spine, and pelvis - is the most amazing architectural structure in your body. Its primary function is to keep us upright against gravity and protect the central nervous system – brain and spinal chord – which runs your entire body. Because we live on planet Earth and have to account for gravity as a constant, which affects each of us exactly the same, the functional core must be the same in its form and function.

You have back pain because you have lost proper form and function within the functional core. In other words, your spine is not able to move in its correct manner and this can occur for a multitude of

reasons- trauma, wear and tear over time, repetitive use, etc. When your spine is not able to move correctly, it leads to degenerationosteoarthritis- which breaks down the joints and discs of your spine.

Excessive stress is also placed on the soft-tissue -muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage- which, over the course of time, will cause significant damage. You continue to have recurring back pain because appropriate form and function has not been restored, enhanced, or corrected. Unfortunately, none of the therapies or treatments listed above correct or restore proper form and function to the spine. They are all capable in providing temporary relief from your symptoms, but in terms of long-term correction, they all fall short. All hope is not lost, however. Proper form and function can be enhanced, and even corrected. The goal of treatment has to revolve around restoring motion to the spine and all the soft-tissue involved in the injury.

In order to accomplish this, it is imperative to know which joints and soft-tissue are not working correctly, and then proper rehabilitative procedures can be administered and measured over time determining your progression. Obviously, the longer these problems are allowed to persist, the more damage will be done, so time is an issue.

It is frustrating to continue having recurring pain, especially when you have been actively searching and working to find answers. The upside is there are answers to these questions. To be evaluated and determine if you are a candidate for our program, please contact Dr. Tom Gustafson at the Active Healing Center at 732.683.0200 to schedule your appointment

Dream Blossoms Into Reality

Make Some Memories this May...

Name your occasion, and we’ve got the

Plants, Gifts, and Fresh Flowers to make it special!

Carol Kenney, owner of Silver Tulip Florist, arranges one of her beautiful masterpieces in her Lincroft shop.

“Follow your heart. Live your dreams. Do what you love. You can do anything you set your mind to.”

These are all sentiments we share with our children every day.

Yet, how often do we demonstrate this by example? It is rare that a person’s childhood vision becomes a reality - but Carol Kenney did exactly that when she opened Silver Tulip Florist in Lincroft, in January of 2008.

Carol was raised in Louisiana with a love of gardening and flowers. When she was only eight-years-old, she entered a flower arranging contest using roses from her mother’s garden, and years later majored in Floriculture at Texas A & M. She proceeded to work in five different florists, and even a Dutch importer - and then put it all on hold.

681 Newman Springs Road Lincroft, NJ

Fast forward twenty years, two children, countless volunteer hours, substitute teaching in the Tinton Falls Schools, and even a brief stint educating kids about long houses and fossil hunts at Poricy Park. Affectionately known as the “Plant Lady” to many children, Carol decided it was time to devote her energy to opening her own shop - selling all the things she loves, but especially flowers.

She now manages a true family business, counting on friends and family swooping in to help during busy holidays. Every family member has a supporting role; her husband Kevin handles the paper work and deliveries when he is not working as a ship captain, and her two children can frequently be found behind the counter during the busy season. While everyone has their own projects going on, it’s well known and accepted that Silver Tulip is the new family gathering place, especially around holidays.

Carol quickly recognized that Lincroft was lacking a gift shop, and has focused on using Silver Tulip to fill that void. Silver Tulip goes beyond providing flowers so that customers may also choose among hand crafted items and various other gifts, many of which are made in the USA. Silver Tulip features an ever-changing array of unique gift items for all ages and tastes, including books, scarves, candles, glass boxes, umbrellas and artwork. If Carol likes it, she sells it - and she strives to make Silver Tulip that perfect last minute gift location where you’re always sure to find something.

It becomes immediately evident that Carol enjoys her customers and takes pride in standing out among all the competition from grocery stores, warehouse clubs and Internet florists. She takes personal pride in helping to make dreams come to life for all the special occasions in her customer’s lives, and diligently works to resolve any issues that ever arise along the way. Carol succeeds in giving personal service to each customer every day and often supports local school and community events, too. The many calls and notes from appreciative customers and the sense of accomplishment make the sacrifices worthwhile, and this entrepreneurial endeavor has opened the family’s eyes to a new awareness of supporting local businesses and the value of personal service.

Raritan High School Students Donated $3K to Operation Provide Comfort Money To Help Residents of Union Beach Rebuild

he Interact Club of Raritan High School presented a $3,000 check to Operation Provide Comfort to help the residents of Union Beach, NJ, rebuild their homes after Hurricane Sandy.

Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting. This year’s theme for Raritan HS Interact 2013 is “We are the initiative.”

The Interact Club, aside from various events and charity work, attends an alternative spring break trip each year. The students within the club go through a strenuous application process to be accepted onto the alternative spring break trip, and this year was no different.

Community Magazine

In previous years, the club has gone to places like New Orleans and San Francisco to work with Habitat For Humanity, helping to rebuild communities where disaster has struck. This year, the Interact Club was raising money to fund their trip to Alabama to help residents still impacted by Hurricane Katrina, but then Hurricane Sandy hit home.

Raritan High School’s Interact Club Advisor, Mr. Andrew LaBarbera said, “I couldn’t, in good conscience, take the kids to Alabama knowing that we were hurting so badly in our very own state. We decided to stay in New Jersey for the spring break and do what we could here.”

The Club will also be out in the field this spring break, helping to rebuild dunes, houses, and restaurants in Mantoloking, NJ. Once the Interact Club students and advisors made the decision to stay in their home state, there were funds available for distribution. After hearing about Operation Provide

The “Help Drive Us Up A Wall” campaign was recently launched to fund building materials needed by Union Beach residents.

Comfort and their “Help Drive Us Up A Wall” campaign, the students decided to give their extra funds to a charity closer to home.

The “Help Drive Us Up A Wall” campaign was recently launched to fund building materials needed by Union Beach residents. By providing OPC with a donation of $3,000, the Raritan High School students were able to kick-start the campaign and purchase enough materials to rebuild a six-room home in Union Beach.

Union Beach Borough Administrator Jennifer Maier was humbled and grateful for the generous donation, and Operation Provide Comfort was excited to have such a motivated group of young adults jumpstart their campaign.

The Monmouth Museum Announces The Junior League of Monmouth County as 50th Anniversary Circle of Gold Gala Honoree

T

Left to right: Junior League of Monmouth County President-elect Kelly Boyer ; President Lauren Porter, and Gala Co-chairs Taphy Harcsar and Daniel J. Fenski, II. Taphy is a former Museum Trustee and Dan currently serves as Board Vice Chairman.

he Museum is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year with special exhibitions and programs featured throughout 2013.

The year will culminate with the highlight event - the 50th Anniversary

Circle of Gold Gala Dinner Dance, on October 19, 2013 at the Navesink Country Club. This special evening features a dinner dance with terrific food, music by Tim McLoone and the Shirleys, and unique auction items. Guests are encouraged to include gold in their attire.

The Monmouth Museum is pleased to announce the Junior League of Monmouth County as their special Circle of Gold Gala Honoree. The Junior League has been an integral part of the founding and development of the Museum and their generous support enabled the Museum to go from an idea to a reality.

The Junior League of Monmouth County is an organization of women whose goal is to create committed permanent positive change in the lives of women and children in our county through promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

The Monmouth Museum was established in 1963 as the result of a needs assessment conducted by two Junior League members, Vici Taylor and Jan Yorke. The League provided serious volunteer and financial commitment and gathered the support of community leaders to found and incorporate the Monmouth Museum as a private, non-profit organization. The very first money for the Museum came

as a $10,000 grant in 1963 from the Community Trust Fund of the Junior Service League of Monmouth.

A Board of Trustees was assembled from regional leaders in the corporate and non-profit sector, including many of the first Junior League members to become involved.

Due again to the interest, foresight and dedication of League members, a project of converting the Museum’s Upper Gallery into a Junior Museum was undertaken in the late 1970’s. The children of Monmouth County were increasing in numbers and in curiosity, and the Junior League determined that children needed a gallery space of their own in the Museum. Junior League volunteers Diney Goldsmith and Barbara Turner, and Museum Trustee Barbara Goldfarb developed concepts for “learning by doing” exhibitions and in 1978 the inaugural multi-media installation, “Look, Touch, Discover “ was a resounding success.

Another Junior League member and former Museum Director Dorothy V. Morehouse, chaired the “Museum Mobile Unit,” an early League project at the Museum. From 1971 through 1974, the Junior League provided funding and volunteers to take these traveling exhibitions and programs on art, nature and the environment into schools.

HOLMDEL GIRL SCOUTS GET A BOOST

FROM WELLS FARGO TO PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY

I

magine Holmdel Girl Scout Troop 120’s delight when they were selected by Susan DeLeon, Wells Fargo Branch Manager, to receive a Wells Fargo Community Partner grant! With their goal to “Pay it Forward,” the troop developed a plan and budget to make a difference in their community through five projects.

The troop’s first project allowed them to personally touch a family, “adopting” them for the holidays. Mary Ann Reese, Matawan-Aberdeen School District nurse who facilitated the “Troop 120 elves,” told them, “one local family will certainly have a joyous and wonderful holiday.” Next, they combed their “wish list” and purchased First Aid kits and art supplies for 180 Turning Lives Around, a private nonprofit dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence in their community. As younger scouts, work with Amanda’s Easel Creative Arts Therapy Program touched them more deeply than any other project; this program helps children heal from the effects of domestic violence by encouraging them to express and understand their feelings and fears in a safe and nurturing environment through various forms of art. Similarly, shaken by the need for children’s socks and underwear, they gladly contributed to a community drive sponsored by the Church of St. Anselm, Wayside, NJ.

system—and encourages students to limit waste from one time use water bottles. To spread their environmentally-conscious message, they donated these water bottles to the Backpack Buddies program run by Temple Shalom of Aberdeen; each week, on Friday, congregants deliver backpacks filled with food to school children in the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District to children who receive lunch under Title 1 on school days, but don’t have sufficient food on weekends.

Troop 120 formed when the girls were Daisy Scouts in kindergarten and has done many community projects over the years. They collected ‘baby bundles’ for single mothers and toiletries for the homeless, made dozens of sandwiches for the community Bridges program, planted flowers at Spring House, a halfway house for women, and collected and stocked food for the Calico Cat Food pantry. Every year, this troop donates dozens of Gift of Caring Girl Scout cookies to local food pantries. The troop’s latest projects have been literacy-focused, and included reading in local grammar school classrooms, volunteering in the township library, and helping to make the Kenilworth Middle/High School library a more effective learning and research environment.

Turning their attention to the environment, to enhance the community, they planted a flower garden marking the entrance to Bayonet Farm, a beautiful township-owned farm featuring hiking trails and historic buildings and the site of Earth Day and Music & Arts Festivals, as well as the focus of many scout projects and outings.

This grant enabled Troop 120 to leverage their scouting values and social responsibility to a new level and reach out personally to make a difference in their community. The troop would like to thank Wells Fargo Bank for their generosity and for giving them this opportunity in their final year as Girl Scouts!

As their final touch, they purchased reusable water bottles to help support a water purification project sponsored by the Holmdel High School Eco Club that filters drinking water using a low-energy

Making the Most Out of Your Veterinary Visit Patricia Smillie-Scavelli, adminiStrator Garden State veterinary SPecialiStS

W

hether bringing your pet to the veterinarian for a well care visit or because they are experiencing a particular problem, you can get the most out of your time with your vet if you are prepared. Knowing in advance the reason for your visit, you can prepare for what you can expect to happen during your visit. Is your pet due for an annual exam during which they will be vaccinated, for example.

If your pet is ill, being able to give your veterinarian a complete history is important. As your pet’s companion you will probably be the first to recognize behavior that might suggest that something is not quite right. Before your visit, be sure to have all of your pet’s medical history ready to bring with you, including: vaccination history, dietary information, and previous illnesses or procedures. Keeping this information handy in one folder can be helpful should you need it in case of an emergency. The medical history of any other pets you may have in your household could also be relevant to your pet’s condition.

If your pet is ill, your veterinarian will need to know how long the problem has been going on, if it appears to be getting better, worse, or is unchanged since you first noticed it. It is very important to inform your veterinarian of any treatment you may have tried already, if possible, bring these items to your appointment should your veterinarian need to know the ingredients. If your visit is to a specialist, prior lab work, x-rays, and medical records from your primary veterinarian are important to have with you as well.

State-of-the-Art Referral Hospital Board Certified Specialists Continuous Medical Care 24/7, 365 days/year No referral or appointment needed for emergency care

During your visit, you should engage in a dialogue with your veterinarian regarding your pet. The conversation should not be one-sided, tell your story based upon the history you have assembled and your observations. When your veterinarian discusses your pet’s condition, listen carefully since you are there to rely on their expertise and knowledge. Ask questions while you are with your veterinarian, this is the time to find out the meaning of the tests that may be ordered, what the expected outcomes of treatment will be, and the costs of treatment options. Veterinarians can better serve you and your pet if they understand your expectations and you are honest about your concerns.

After your visit, follow up with progress reports to your veterinarian. It is important to keep recheck appointments where adjustments to medication or treatment plans can be made if necessary. Calling for test results is also an important part of remaining a involved in your pet’s treatment plan.

Working with your veterinarian and making a collaborative decision with him or her regarding your pet’s treatment plan will enable you to do what is best for your pet.

olts Neck PTO held their 30th Annual Spring Gala, A Pearl of an Anniversary on April 18 at the beautiful Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club in Farmingdale. Close to 200 friends, family, and teachers attended the event, which is the PTO’s largest fundraiser of the year. PTO President Pamela Molloy acknowledged the creativity and enthusiasm of the Gala Committee, stating, “These ladies worked very hard and did a wonderful job.”

PTO Fundraising Director and Event Chairperson Justine Buzetta said she was touched by the women on the Committee who worked tirelessly for several months. “They are 15 of the most wonderful women! Although my name is listed as the Chair, I feel we all co-chaired this event. They stepped up to make this the best Gala ever. I never lost one night of sleep knowing they were working closely with me.” Mrs. Buzetta said the PTO was very grateful to the local businesses, families, and students of Colts Neck who generously donated gifts and supported their efforts.

During the cocktail hour, guests enjoyed a variety of hors d’oeuvres as they reviewed the vast array of over 80 baskets, over 25 grand prize baskets, and four exceptional platinum prizes. A mystery pearl purchase meant a guarantee of one of 30 prizes that were valued up to $250. There was also a commemorative Pearltini cocktail that was offered free during the cocktail hour. Dinner included an entrée of Filet Mignon and Tilapia, as well as a delicate pear tart dessert. From the beginning of the event to the end, DJ Jordan Marshall kept the music going and intermittently announced the great opportunities to purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win amazing baskets and prizes.

MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION

O

ften people confuse the concepts of mediation and arbitration. Both fall under the general heading of Alternate Dispute Resolution or ADR. ADR is a means by which to encourage and even facilitate a resolution of legal disputes outside the Court system. For a variety of reasons, not the least of which are an increase in the number of cases and a decline in the number of court personnel resulting from budgeting constraints, case backlogs are increasing at an alarming rate.

Peter C. Paras is a shareholder in the Family Law Firm of Paras, Apy & Reiss, P.C. For more information please see the firm’s website at www. par-law.com. The information in this article is not intended as legal advice. For legal advice you should consult your attorney.

In an effort to move disputes through the system faster, our court system encourages the use of alternate paths to reach a resolution. This is most prevalent in the Family Court where caseloads are the greatest. Fewer judges than just a year or two ago must handle increasing caseloads in a wide variety of family-related matters – divorce, domestic violence, guardianship, juvenile, adoption and more.

In order to free court personnel to handle cases that do not as readily lend themselves to settlement (i.e., domestic violence, guardianship, juvenile and adoption cases), divorce cases are, in ever increasing numbers, being referred to mediation and/or arbitration.

Mediation is a process in which a “third-party neutral” is selected by the parties. The mediator then tries to help the parties reach an agreement.

Most frequently, the parties participate in mediation with their lawyers. Depending on the unique characteristics of a case, a settlement may require only one session. More frequently, two or three sessions

are needed. In cases involving complex factual or legal issues, many sessions may be necessary. A successful mediation results in an agreement that is committed to writing and signed by both parties. It, thus, becomes a binding contract and will become part of the Judgment of Divorce.

Arbitration also requires the selection of a “third party neutral”, but that is where the similarity ends.

The arbitrator does not assist the parties in reaching an agreement. The arbitrator listens to both sides of the case and then makes a decision by which both parties are bound. The “rules of engagement” are agreed on at the outset. Arbitration can be a relatively informal process. It can also be as formal as a trial – with the strict enforcement of rules of procedure and rules of evidence.

Each side to the arbitration presents his/her testimony and evidence. At the conclusion of the presentations, the arbitrator renders a decision in writing – much like a judge would after a trial – and the parties are bound. The Arbitration Award is then converted to a Judgment of the Court and enforceable as such.

Mediation and arbitration can save time and money by shortening the time it takes to finalize the divorce because, although the court monitors the progress of the case, most of the heavy lifting is done outside the court system – away from the delays and backlogs that have become all too common.

olmdel Brownie Troop 800 was behind bars last month and they were happy about it? Thanks to the generosity of the Holmdel Police department, this troop was able to get a first-hand look at law enforcement as well as the techniques that our officers use to keep us safe.

Holmdel Regional Office 963 Holmdel Road, Unit 1 | Holmdel, NJ Office: 732 946.3200 glorianilson.com

Organized by Sergeant Piggott, Troop 800 arrived, and they were armed as well - with Girl Scout cookies that were donated to the officers of the Holmdel Police Department, as a way of thanking them for keeping Holmdel safe during Hurricane Sandy and throughout the year.

Lt. Smith met the troop and spoke about the Holmdel Station and its officers, he is in charge of all the officers in Holmdel and makes sure the streets of Holmdel are covered and patrolled.

Valerie Zudonyi, who works with Sgt. Piggott, sat with the girls and gave them all police coloring books that talked about safety for all. Detective Sergeant L. Torres, who has been with the force for 32 years, showed them how to gather evidence, and the girls watched in awe as he was able to take a single envelope, and with his fingerprint kit, show them that there are always clues left behind. He shared true stories of cases he worked on in Holmdel and had the girls mesmorized as he shared some history of his work on the force. Troop 800 also learned about Holmdel’s four legged officers, Sgt. Edward Martinez, who works with the police dogs spoke about their relationship with the dogs.

Ptl. Archinaco brought the girls into the dispatch post, where it all begins. They met with Brian O’Keefe and Alexandra Harris, who form the first line of defense to get help to those in need.

Next, a highlight for the girls was lock up, the girls piled into a jail cell and while some asked for a cup to bang on the rails, others asked why their bed had no pillow. The Troop also toured the mug shot area, and learned how you cannot smile in a police photo (although they agreed if you were getting arrested, smiling wouldn’t be high on the list).

Troop 800 wants to thank the Holmdel Police for sharing your day with them!

tudents of Colts Neck Conover Road Primary, Conover Road Elementary, and Cedar Drive Middle School had an opportunity to “apply for a job” as the Superintendent of Schools, and as Principals for the day. In a special fundraiser sponsored by the Colts Neck PTO, students completed a form and sent in a $5 per-entry donation. Deadline was February 28 and all proceeds were donated to the Colts Neck PTO. On April 11, students who served as Superintendent or Principal for the day, spent the day participating in the day-to-day functions of their par-

ticular administrator’s position. They learned how the schools run and were able to make suggestions about improvements they would like to see in the schools. All winners shared a special lunch with the administrators and received a plaque to commemorate the day.

Four students were randomly chosen as winners. The students and their positions were Superintendent Ryan Johnson, Conover Road Primary School Principal Christian Pinguelo, Conover Road Elementary School Principal Amber Ellis, and Cedar Drive Middle School Principal Emily Benevento.

Foundation asks Community to Tee it Up Fore Tara

School teacher’s passing raises awareness on need to improve maternal health

T

he Tara Hansen Foundation will host its first golf outing Tee It Up Fore Tara on July 8 at Trump National Golf Course in Colts Neck, NJ. The golf tournament will help the Foundation in the fight to improve maternal health so that women no longer die from having a child in the United States Tara Hansen was a healthy and active 29 year-old special education teacher at the West Freehold School in Freehold, NJ. For nearly six-years, Tara had the pleasure of teaching children in her hometown. She was able to give back to the community and enjoyed every moment she spent in the classroom. Sadly, she only had six-days of motherhood with her son.

The Tara Hansen Foundation exists to spread the word about this health issue and to advance maternal health awareness and safety. Expecting parents deserve equal education on the risks associated with the mother as well as the child, so that fewer children grow-up motherless.

The foundation is funding an inter-professional continuing education maternal health conference in collaboration with Robert Wood Johnson Medical School on November 6, 2013.

his marine sciences program is a hands-on course with both lab and field work that explores the marine life and habitats of Sandy Hook’s beaches and estuaries. It is supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and is taught by members of the Marine Science and Technology (MAST) marine science faculty.

This memorable summer camp experience is open to students who have completed 6th, 7th or 8th grade by June, 2013, and who have earned a “B” or higher in their current year’s science course.

The one-week program will be held in four sessions, all running from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., as follows: July 8-12, July 15-19, July 2226 and July 29- August 2.

Students will enjoy the following topics, taught by Mr. John Valente and other members of the MAST science faculty: • Marine Life: Campers will collect, identify and dissect marine plants and animals. A highlight is dissecting a sand shark.

• Marine Habitats: Students will explore the inter-tidal beaches, salt marshes, estuaries, bay and ocean, and learn to identify the unique characteristics of each eco-system.

• Physical Oceanography: Students will analyze the waves, tides and currents and how each impacts the beach.

• Water Chemistry: Campers will learn techniques for sampling water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen content and how to interpret the sample results.

• Lab and Field: Each daily session will include both laboratory and field work on Sandy Hook, much like what professional scientists do routinely.

• Marine Careers: Students will learn about various marine occupations and the educational requirements to achieve them.

• Certificate: Each student will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Margaret Ann Chappell, founder of The Stars Challenge, said “We’re fortunate to live near the ocean and Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook provides a unique outdoor laboratory to study our precious marine environment. In one place you can explore marine life, a salt marsh, the tides, the largest holly forest on the east coast, and on and on.

Come join us for this exciting week.”

Students must submit their applications no later than May 31, 2013: the application may be found at www.starschallenge.org.

Acceptances will be emailed, on a “rolling acceptance” basis.

Holmdel’s Second Grade Breakfast

is a Long Standing Tradition

Local Market Expertise, Global Reach

Lydia Chen Realtor Associate ABR, CRS, GRI

O

n March 22, 2013 the second graders of Village School in Holmdel participated in their annual Second Grade Breakfast. The Second Grade Breakfast has been a long standing tradition at Village School for approximately twenty years. When talking with faculty and staff about the breakfast, everyone agreed that it had been ongoing for as long as they could remember.

Mrs. Kyriaki Rausch, a second grade teacher, organized this year’s breakfast with the combined effort of her second grade colleagues.

When asked about the purpose of the breakfast Mrs. Rausch stated that, “Service learning helps students become better learners, classmates, and citizens.” Service learning is a teaching method that combines academic instruction, meaningful service to enhance student learning, and civic responsibility. Service learning differs from community service or volunteerism in that it is integrated with academic curriculum and content.

Each second grade class was asked to donate a specific food item to Lunch Break in Red Bank. Lunch Break is a community outreach program that has been serving Monmouth County for 30 years.

Their mission is to help those in the community that are unable to provide the bare necessities to their families. Since 2008, Gwendolyn Love has been the Executive Director. She works with over 1500 volunteers, serving the community by providing food, clothing, and a multitude of special services six days a week.

When asked about her feelings on the Second Grade Breakfast, Love said, “It’s a very warm feeling to see the collaboration of the parents, the teachers, the administration, and of course the kids. It’s very much appreciated.”

According to Love, the Lunch Break’s food pantry serves 500 families per month. In addition, their soup kitchen serves close to 5000 meals per month. Most of the food donated by the second graders will go to the food pantry for distribution while some of it will be used to prepare meals in the soup kitchen.

Prior to eating their breakfast, the second graders were read facts about hunger and poverty by their fellow classmates. The children learned how hunger affects families in their local communities. They were also informed of how much food they donated and how many people would be fed by these donations.

Over the years, the Second Grade Breakfast has become a collaborative effort. Dearborn Market of Holmdel donated all of the fresh fruit for the children, while the families of the second graders donated the rest of the breakfast items. Village School PSA donated wrist bands to all the children inscribed with the message “Stop Poverty”.

When Mrs. Rausch was asked what the most difficult aspect of organizing such an event was her answer was simply, “This event is effortless due to the fact that teachers, administrators, and the families of the Holmdel students are always willing to help others in need.”

Welcome Spring In A County Park T

he golf courses are open, the campground is ready, and the gardens are starting to bloom! It’s springtime in the parks and, perhaps, the loveliest time of year. The Monmouth County Park System wants you to enjoy every minute of the season by visiting its parks, playgrounds, historic sites, and trails.

Swing into season by teeing off at Hominy Hill Golf Course in Colts Neck! Often rated among New Jersey’s top public courses, Hominy Hill offers some of the best golfing around. The Park System’s other golf courses – Bel-Aire in Wall, Charleston Springs in Millstone, Howell Park in Farmingdale, Pine Brook in Manalapan and Shark River in Neptune – allow golfers of all levels to enjoy a challenging round. Those just getting started or looking to improve their game can sign up for any of the Park System’s golf lessons listed in the Program Directory.

A great way to experience spring in the park is to spend the night at the campground in Turkey Swamp Park, Freehold. From fishing in the lake to telling stories around the campfire, campers will be busy from morning to night. Open through November 15, the campground features tent and trailer sites as well as two primitive cabins.

Per night campsite rates are $35 for county residents and $39 for non-residents. County residents can rent a cabin for $60 a night while non-residents pay $70 per night.

Although Turkey Swamp Park is beautiful this time of year, there’s nowhere as delightful as Deep Cut Gardens, Middletown. Gardeners and non-gardeners alike will enjoy wandering the paths of this

breathtaking site and seeing spring in bloom. Another not-to-miss spot is the arboretum in Holmdel Park, Holmdel with its crabapple and cherry trees.

While at Holmdel Park, stop by Historic Longstreet Farm and see newborn lambs, freshly planted fields, and the vegetable garden starting to grow. Staff dressed in period clothes tend this living history farm. The Park System’s other historic site, Historic Walnford in Upper Freehold, is once again holding weekend mill demonstrations.

Take advantage of all the site has to offer by bringing fishing gear and trying to catch catfish and shad that lurk in Crosswicks Creek.

Crosswicks Creek isn’t the only place in the Park System to go fishing. Fisherman’s Cove in Manasquan, Thompson Park in Lincroft, and Shark River Park in Neptune are some of the other places anglers can drop a line. Please be aware that a NJ State fishing license is required for all freshwater fishing for ages 16-69. Visit www.monmouthcountyparks.com for more information and a complete list of locations.

Some things are just too much fun to be limited to one or two parks. Trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and boat launches can be found in parks throughout the county. To learn more about the Park System’s offerings, visit www.monmouthcountyparks.com or call 732.842.4000. The TTY/TDD number for persons with hearing impairment is 711. The Monmouth County Park System, created in 1960 by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, is Monmouth County’s Open Space, Parks and Recreation agency.

Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue Receives $10,000 Petco Foundation Grant to Support Animal Welfare Efforts in Monmouth County

INTEGRITY • KNOWLEDGE • TRUST

TOP PRODUCER!

C

astle of Dreams Animal Rescue (CODAR) based in Monmouth County, NJ announced they have been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to fund a transportation vehicle which will be utilized to assist the organization with transporting rescue dogs and puppies from high kill shelters to foster homes and transport the animals to veterinary appointments and adoption days.

CODAR is a non-profit organization whose mission is to rescue dogs and puppies from high kill shelters and place them in loving homes. All rescued pets are kept in foster care until adopted, as the organization works to build a Shelter of Dreams. CODAR has been rescuing canines since 2003 and has placed over 3,000 animals in loving homes. Our adopters include such noted celebrities as Christopher Meloni, Kelsey Grammer and most recently, Cesar Milan.

Recent Activity

The volunteers of the organization were devastated when Hurricane Sandy destroyed their recently donated vehicle and most of the supplies housed in the vehicle. The outpouring of support from the community has been tremendous. “We are very grateful to the Petco Foundation for approving our grant. The old vehicle was relied on heavily to pick up multiple dogs and puppies on a weekly basis,” Vice President of Operations, Pamela Frasco said.

The Petco Foundation has served as a voice for companion animals across the country since 1999. Today, with more than 9,500 local animal-welfare partners across the country, the foundation donates approximately $15 million a year to make a difference in the lives of millions of animals. The organization is funded through donations raised during fundraisers conducted in Petco’s more than 1,200 stores across the country, as well as from Petco associates, vendors and corporate contributions.

Money raised helps fund animal-welfare organizations, spay and neuter efforts, animal-assisted therapy programs and humane education. The majority of the funds raised remain in the communities where they were raised, and the Petco Foundation is also involved in many national animal-welfare efforts.

7 Hastings Road, Holmdel • $1,449,900

In 2012, the Petco Foundation surpassed $100 million in funds raised for companion animals since the organization was created. To learn more, visit www.petcofoundation.org.

CODAR truly makes dreams come true for all animals rescued through our organization. We save animals from high kill shelters throughout the United States. We do not currently have a physical location for you to see our pets. Our goal is to raise funds to one day open a Shelter of Dreams where all of our rescued pets can live like kings and queens until adopted. We currently operate as a network of foster homes. All rescued animals are vetted, and given the proper care, love and attention they deserve, until they find the forever family they so desperately need. Codar relies solely on adoption donations and donations from the general public in order to operate. CODAR is an all-volunteer organization. All donations are tax deductible and are utilized strictly for the rescue and care of our animals. For further information on our organization or become a volunteer, please visit our website at www.castle-of-dreams.com. Castle-of-Dreams Animal Rescue (CODAR) is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit canine only animal rescue organization that was incorporated in June of 2003.

Parents & Friends Come Together for 26th Annual Panther Ball

SUMMERTIME PROGRAMS AT RANNEY SCHOOL

OPEN HOUSE

Sat., April 20th, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

DISCOVER YEAR-ROUND FUN AND LEARNING

O

n April 6, the galleries and interior of RSPA Panther Hall were transformed to host the 26th Annual RSPA Panther Ball. A different atmosphere than Panther Balls of the past, the evening was relaxed and collegial, allowing parents, faculty and friends to enjoy the evening of community and Panther Pride with dinner, dancing and auctions.

“Tonight is truly about coming together – celebrating one another – and to do so here inside these walls of RSPA Panther Hall makes it even more special – as we all have so much to be grateful for,” said RSPA President Mimi Keenan. Following her welcoming comments, Mrs. Keenan was joined at the podium

by Board of Trustees President Jamie Price, as the two led a toast in honor of Head of School Dr. Lawrence S. Sykoff. The RSPA presented Dr. Sykoff with a large Ranney teddy bear, in commemoration of the bears he has presented each year to the Beginner classes that have visited his office in the opening weeks of school.

The live auction was led by John Doyle of the Performing Arts Department. This year’s live auction featured nine exciting experiences for families including the chance to lead the annual Halloween Parade; VIP experience at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade; a golfing trip at Wade Hampton in North Carolina; a baseball-focused package, including the opportunity for a student to serve as a Ranney “Coach for a Day;” a family gourmet package with cooking lessons, catered dinner and a student’s opportunity to be “Chef for a Day;” Coaches Club tickets for the New York Giants; a Fine Arts package featuring department chair Kate Greenberg as the docent for museum tours; a Performing Arts package with piano lessons from department chair Tess Nielsen; and a very special dinner for 12 with Dr. Sykoff, incoming Head of School Dr. John Griffiths, and the Ranney Board of Trustees.

The silent auction highlighted our Fine and Performing Arts departments with works created by our students, including the “remaking” of used string instruments into works of art. The silent auction also included very special experiences with some of our faculty members, including: Paintball with Mr. Lippiello; a Bowling and Pizza Party with Ms. Hunt, Ms. Petrantis and Ms. Atwood; Crepe Party with Madame Rosenthal; Rumba-Flamenco Lessons with Senora Cordero; A Day at the Boardwalk with Coach Dolan; A Picnic at Allaire State Park with Ms. McCarthy; a Pool Party with Mr. Walling; A Day at the Beach with Mrs. Guadagno; and Golfing with Coach McNamara.

LUNCH BREAK HOSTS FOODSTOCK TO THE FILL PANTRY FOR THE SUMMER

O

n Saturday, May 18, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Lunch Break, a Red Bank soup kitchen, and much more, is holding their second annual Foodstock at the Red Bank Middle School at 101 Harding Road. During their 30th Anniversary year of fighting hunger in Red Bank and surrounding communities, Lunch Break is calling on those communities to help stock the pantry shelves for the summer months, traditionally a difficult time of the year to collect donations. The event will include refreshments, activities for children, and live music. Also participating, and handing out books, will be Bridge of Books whose mission is to provide an ongoing source of gently used and new books to underprivileged and at-risk children throughout New Jersey in order to support literacy skills and to encourage a love of reading. Clients, volunteers and all Friends of Lunch Break are invited to spend the afternoon enjoying good music, good food, good friends and their families.

COMMUNITY FOOD DRIVE

Saturday, May 18th, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm Red Bank Middle School, 101 Harding Road

Stop by, enjoy the fun, and bring healthy, non-perishable foods to help stock the soup kitchen pantry shelves for the summer.

For information, contact Millie Jeter at 732-383-8005 or mjeter@lunchbreak.org or Susan Haugenes at shaugenes@lunchbreak.org

Refreshments

Live Entertainment

Children’s Activities

Lunch Break freely provides life’s basic necessities for community members in need, including food, clothing and fellowship. In addition, holiday food baskets are provided to families, meals are delivered to the homebound, holiday gifts are distributed to children, an internet café has been created to help job seekers, cooking classes are offered to children, a community dinner is offered monthly, and much more. What began in 1983, in the basement of St. Thomas Episcopal Church where hot lunches were served, was eventually expanded in 1985 to include distribution of groceries.

In 2012, more than 56,000 hot meals were served and more than 7,000 bags of food from the pantry were distributed to families in need. All of this is accomplished under the direction of the Board of Trustees along with Executive Director, Gwendolyn Love, her staff, the gen-

Colts Neck Reformed Church to Host Used Bicycle Collection Through Pedals for Progress

erous support of the community and the willing hands and hearts of more than 2000 volunteers.

But it is food that is in short supply during summer. Since the financial collapse of 2008. there has been an ever increasing problem of food insecurity and hunger in our area. According to the Executive Director of the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, “one in every 10 residents and two out of every five children” in our very own communities suffers food insecurity. Lunch Break sees this reality every day. Although Lunch Break is one of the organizations that receives food stock from the FoodBank, the need in Red Bank and the surrounding areas is so great it must rely on its own food drives and appeals, and on the additional food it purchases with donated money—approximately $40,000 annually. The community needs Lunch Break, and Lunch Break needs your help to feed the hungry.

Items that are particularly needed for the pantry include: canned beans, dry beans and lentils; canned fruits, vegetables, soups, stews, chili, tuna fish, and chicken; cereals; coffee, tea and 100% fruit juices; boxed macaroni and cheese, mashed potato mixes, rice and rice mixes; mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and vegetable oil; pasta and sauces; peanut butter and jelly; salad dressings, individual portions of apple sauce, pudding snacks and juice boxes; sugar, flour, cake mixes and icing; pancake mix and syrup. Because Lunch Break is celebrating 30 years of serving the community the goal for the 2013 Foodstock is 30,000 pounds! You can help reach that ambitious goal.

If you have any questions, please contact Millie Jeter at 732.383.8005 or Susan Haugenes at shaugenes@verizon.net.

o you have any bicycles sitting around that you don’t use anymore? Bring them to the Pedals for Progress bicycle collection at The Colts Neck Reformed Church (located at 72 County Road 537 in Colts Neck) on Saturday, June 1, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Bicycles have to be in working order!

Volunteers will be on site to prepare the bikes to be shipped overseas to help those who need them to travel to work, healthcare, school, and even to obtain food and water.

It costs $40 to collect, process, ship, rebuild and distribute each bicycle. A $10 donation per bicycle is requested toward shipping costs. All cash and material donations are fully tax deductible and a receipt will be available at the collection site. They will also accept working portable sewing machines.

If you cannot make the date of the collection, but have a bicycle for donation, please contact the church office at 732.462.4555 to arrange a drop-off time. You can find out more about Pedals for Progress at www.p4p.org.

Ice Cream Party & 10 Commandments Reading at Chabad Jewish Center of Holmdel

T

he holiday of Shavuot is commemorated on May 15, 2013, the day that the Jewish nation gathered at the foot of Mount Sinai to receive the Torah from G-d, where together men, women, and children heard G-d proclaim the Ten Commandments. Also present were the souls of all Jews of all generations.

Every year on the Holiday of Shavuot this revelation is re-experienced during the reading of the Ten Commandments in the Synagogue. “It is extremely important for every Jew to be in Synagogue at that time”, says Rabbi Shmaya Galperin of Chabad Jewish Center of Holmdel. It is especially important for the children to be in Synagogue during the reading of the Ten Commandments, as the children played a critical role in our receiving of the Torah. When G-d gave the Torah to the Jewish people, it was given on the condition that the young boys and girls will be the Torah’s guarantors.

To accommodate those that can’t make it to the Synagogue in the morning, Chabad Jewish Center has organized an evening reading of the Ten Commandments together with a dairy dinner & ice cream party. For more information, visit http://chabadholmdel.com.

aint John Vianney English Teacher, Mrs. Margaret Kane, was named Educator of the Year. The educator of the year is determined by votes of the faculty and staff at SJVHS.

Mrs. Kane has been a teacher at SJV since 1998. She graduated from St. Francis College in Brooklyn, NY with a degree in English. She is currently enrolled at Georgian Court University pursuing her Masters in Catholic Education Administration and Leadership. She has three children, 12 year old twin girls, Bridget and Cathleen and an 8 year old son, Brendan.

Mrs. Kane said, “I am honored to be named Educator of the Year and I am blessed to be able to work with the teachers and administration here. This school is like a second home to me and I wake up every morning thanking God for my job as well as my “second family.” Mrs. Kane said that her favorite thing about teaching is that each day she gets to learn from her students.

Assistant Principal of Academic Affairs, Mr. John Niesz said that, “Energy, enthusiasm and excitement are three qualities that Margaret Kane brings to education at SJV.” Students at SJV said that Mrs. Kane inspires many students, serves as a role model and is always willing to provide extra help.

O

ak Hill Academy participated in the “Foundation to Save the Jersey Shore, Inc’s” Art Show entitled “Draw the Shore”. They are a local grass-roots organization staffed by countless and tireless volunteers. Their organization provides money, materials, and manpower to those who have been devastated by Super Storm Sandy.

To raise money and awareness they designed an event that helps to bring awareness to children. They hosted a fun-filled family day that featured a “child inspired” Art Show. Artists, friends and families attended the event on April 21 at the Middletown Arts Center Gallery. All of the art was on sale for purchase and proceeds benefited the foundation. There was entertainment, music, refreshments, face-painting, and of course ART. Proceeds will be used to fund and install the 26 playgrounds to be dedicated to the victims of the Newtown, CT tragedy. The first playground will honor the memory of teacher, Ann Marie Murphy, and will be located on the beach in Sea Bright.

All current OHA art students painted or drew what they thought of when they thought about the Jersey Shore. This was part of their biweekly art class in Oak Hill’s art studio.

In addition, Oak Hill Academy Student Council had a “Dress Down For A Dollar Day” on May 2 to raise funds for the Sandy Ground Project to build the playground in the Highlands, also named for a victim of the Newtown tragedy.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and tickets for this all-ages event are available through Ticket Master, Ticketfly, and the Encore Event Center box office. The night will prove to be an explosion of heavy metal sound with the bands Anvil, The Rods, Raven, Lords of Mercy, Twisted Sister, and TT Quick - all coming together for one common goal; to help local communities that have been left devastated by the storm. All proceeds from the event will be donated to those who have been affected by the storm through the distribution of gift cards to local Home Depot Stores. Those attending are asked to donate non-perishable food items, which will be collected at the door, and donated as well. If you are unable to attend and would like to make a donation to the benefit, please contact Absolute Music Studio at 732.888.4404.

Absolute Music will also be hosting their 8th Annual musical recital and is slated for Saturday, June 22, 2013 at New Monmouth Baptist Church. The recital is named A.C.T.S., with the letters standing for Absolute Community Talent Show. Each year the students of the studio volunteer to participate in the recital, each learning a song during their lessons; some will learn guitar parts, bass parts, keyboard parts, drums, violins, horns, etc. They are then placed together to form bands. They practice as a band, and perform as such. This year they are projecting there will be more than 24 “ACTS”, consisting of approximately 100 students of all ages. John Albino, the owner of Absolute Music has been in the music business for many years, and has maintained many professional contacts. In the past, these professional musicians and technicians have come out to sing, play, practice with, set-up, and run the stage for this event, asking for nothing in return…only that they can come back to help with next year’s recital.

Community Magazine

The day itself is always quite an event, as the approximate 400-600 guests will not only be entertained, but are welcome to the buffet-style lunch, and a chance to participate in the silent gift auction, with the opportunity to win prizes that have been donated by local businesses and families. Absolute Music and Precision Tuned…tee shirts, and a professionally taped DVD will be available for families and guests to purchase.

Proceeds from this event will be donated to Precision Tuned to Musically Inspire Children, their 501c3 organization which helps fund music lessons, instruments, and scholarships to music schools for those who have the desire to learn and play, but are in need of financial assistance. Over the past six years, Absolute Music through its annual musical recitals, has donated more than $40,000.00 to local charities, including POAC and the RAINE Foundation. They have worked with many child service organizations to provide music lessons for children with disabilities. And, they annually assist a local food pantry, The Keyport Ministerium, with a food drive. They believe in community and that everyone needs to work together to make it through these tough times. They believe in giving back to the community, especially those in need. Music is not only inspirational; it teaches dedication, organizational skills, and patience. It builds self-confidence, and gives children, and adults, a creative outlet.

Come out, spend a day with them, the students, have some lunch, and visit their silent auction. They believe you too will be inspired by all that you see and hear. Tickets are available through the studio for all who wish to attend. Anyone who would like to make a donation to Precision Tuned…may do so by contacting the studio.

Music strikes a chord in all of us, and to some it is their heart and soul, we are proud to be able to help them create the melody!

NEW DESTINIES 4 KIDZ Empowers Children To Focus On Their Future

STORY Susan Murphy

Left to right: Colts Neck residents Michelle Anderson and Sandra Anderson are the co-founders of New Destinies 4 Kidz, Inc., a non-profit organization that empowers children to choose their own destiny.

N

ew Destinies 4 Kids, Inc., co-founded in 2012 by Colts Neck residents, Sandra Anderson and Michelle Perkinson, is an amazing non-profit organization. Its mission is to empower children of incarcerated parents to choose their own destiny by providing leadership skills and peer mentoring in a nurturing environment.

Camp counselor Doug Anderson, 17, shares a special moment with his camper buddy during their stay at Camp Promise in July, 2012.

66

Community Magazine

The idea began when Ms. Anderson took Ms. Perkinson to visit Camp Hope in Georgia in 2009. It inspired them to bring that same type of program to New Jersey. This resulted in Camp Promise, which is the initial component of their program. “We provide a free six day overnight camp for our selected campers and their one-on-one counselors. As far as we know, there is no such program in New Jersey,” explained Ms. Perkinson. She noted that 2008 national statistics showed there were 1.7 million children who had a father or mother serving a sentence in a state or federal prison. These children face significant hardships due to the stress placed on their families. Tragically, statistics reveal that 82% of all the children of inmates will also end up in a Federal, County or City prison system.

“Selected children, identified by a statewide program of prison fellowship, Angel Tree Ministry, typically enter our program in the fourth grade. We want to help them rise above their circumstances, teach them to become leaders, and provide them with a life of hope,” said Ms. Perkinson.

The focus of the program includes early intervention, group acceptance, peer mentoring and friendship, safe environment, personal reflection, continuity (10 years and beyond), as well as fun and varied activities. There are many more topics covered in the program.

These are the first group of children, camp counselors, and adult chaperones to attend Camp Promise, which was held the first week of July, 2012.

Ms. Perkinson and Ms. Anderson are well suited and highly qualified to serve as leaders of New Destinies 4 Kidz, Inc. Ms. Perkinson shared, “Having worked in the private school sector as a speech-language pathologist and then an education supervisor, I understand the importance of early therapeutic intervention. After I retired, developing this program with Sandra seemed a good way to serve a different population of kids. Sandra’s background is in the hospitality industry and she shares my passion for helping kids who have unique challenges in their lives. Sandra and I are grateful for the strong interest and support we’ve received this past year from the Colts Neck Reformed Church, Ardena Baptist Church and St. Georges by the River.”

They have recruited teenage volunteers to serve as counselors for camp and post-camp activities, adults who provided transportation and supplies, as well as motivational speakers. Sandra’s two sons, Ronnie, 14, and Doug, 17, were counselors at camp last year and are looking forward to continuing this summer as well. “All of our children want to return, campers and counselors. The joy in the faces of the children we serve provide the impetus for us to continue with this program,” Ms. Perkinson proudly stated. This year, camp will run from August 25 through August 30 at Camp Mason, a YMCA camp in Hardwick, New Jersey. Children from Monmouth County and beyond are accepted and they already have children from Middlesex and Ocean counties participating in the program. “We anticipate adding an additional 10 or more campers each year and developing a training program so our current campers become counselors as they continue to further develop their leadership skills to become mentors and role models for new campers coming in. Eventually, we’d like to have around 200 campers each year,” said Ms. Perkinson.

Future plans include the possibility of scholarship programs for graduating campers who want to attend college or a technical school. Financial support is greatly appreciated and always needed. New Destinies 4 Kidz, Inc. is on file as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.

Donations can be mailed to New Destinies for Kids, Inc., P.O. Box 6913, Freehold, New Jersey 07728. For general information questions, call 732.484.1042 or send an email to mgperkins@optonline.net. More information is available through their website at www.newdestinies4kidz.org.

Teens and children take a moment from their bowling trip in October, 2012 to pose for a picture. Two months later, they attended a Christmas party and wrapped gifts for the children of Union Beach.

Former campers from Georgia, who are now camp counselors arrived in New Jersey to assist New Destinies 4 Kidz, Inc. Left to right: Dominique, New Destinies co-founder Sandra Anderson, Chelsea, co-founder Michelle Perkinson, and K.C. meet at the airport in July 2012.
