TRENTON – Fifty-one students from 11 Monmouth County schools represented The Community YMCA and joined 500 of their peers from New Jersey at the annual YMCA Youth & Government Conference, held April 8 through April 10 at the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton.

Students in The Community YMCA’s program received top honors, including this year’s Outstanding Delegation award. In addition, the efforts of The Community Y’s students were honored individually.

Alicia Lai, of Holmdel High School, was named Outstanding Press Delegate and was given the special accolade of being invited to participate in the prestigious Conference on National Affairs. Shannon Pace, of Red Bank Regional High School, was recognized as Outstanding Lobbyist. Brian Gilbride, of Thompson Middle School, received the Outstanding First Year Delegate Award for the

middle school component of the program, the Junior Legislators. Krissy Antone, Bayshore Middle School, and Caitlin Loh, Thompson Middle School, were each awarded the title of Outstanding Stateperson for the Junior Legislator Program.

The annual conference is part of the YMCA’s Youth & Government program, designed to expose middle and high school students from New Jersey to the inner workings of our state legislature. The weekend-long conference takes place each year at the New Jersey Statehouse, where students are given the opportunity to simulate the N.J. senate and assembly within the actual building where our representatives create the laws and codes that govern us.

Locally, the program is part of The Community YMCA’s civic engagement initiative, to teach teens about government and give them the opportunity to take an active role in

strengthening their community.

“We are extremely proud of the remarkable performance of all 51 of the Y’s student delegates,” Community YMCA program advisor Jackie Normyle said. “Each student walked away from the conference with a deeper understanding of the essential functions of our state government and the democratic political process as a whole.”

Students representing this year’s Community YMCA delegation were from the following Monmouth County schools: Holmdel High School, Middletown South High School, Red Bank Catholic High School, Red Bank Regional High School, Biotechnology High School, MAST (Marine Academy of Science & Technology), Bayshore Middle School, Shrewsbury Borough School, Thompson Middle School, Henry Hudson Regional School and Thorne Middle School.

Kids offered kreative outlet at Kreative Kidz Party and Playtime

By COURTNEY CERRETA Correspondent

OLD BRIDGE TOWNSHIP — Where else can kids jump around in a bounce house or bang on the drums or put stickers on the wall?

No place other then Kreative Kidz in Old Bridge. This is a place where children can play and use their imagination. The owners, Dana Goldstein and Lori Parrinello, opened Kreative Kidz on April 4, and it is for children ages 1 through 9.

Kreative Kidz has little themed rooms such as a bounce house, Wii system, rock room, arcade games, crane machines and costume room.

“There is open play where parents can stay and play with their children or drop them off, which is called ‘drop and shop,’ so they can run errands or go out to lunch with a friend,” Goldstein said.

“The number of kids that come to open play varies because they can come whenever they want.

There is no appointment necessary.

As long as we are opened they are allowed to come,” Goldstein said.

“The rates are reasonable. Open

play is $7 an hour for the first child and $5 an hour for the second child and on within the same family. We are always having specials and we have coupons and other local ads.”

Kreative Kidz also does parties on the weekends and has special activities like Mommy and Baby Yoga, which will start in June.

They are also planning to do a summer camp. “We are setting up a program for children with special needs and disabilities. We want all children to feel welcome here,” Goldstein said. “Also, in September, we are going to start a homework helping and tutoring program with reasonable rates.”

Kreative Kidz is a small center so the kids can’t get lost. It is also family oriented. “With the parties, we treat everybody as if it were our own party. If we wouldn’t do it for our parties or our families, we wouldn’t do it for theirs,” Parrinello said.

“We came up with the idea of Kreative Kidz because we want to help children socialize and grow.

This isn’t just a place to jump and run around. They learn and interact with other kids. We have different

crafts and hands on activities,” Parrinello said.

“I wanted to add the Special Ed aspect into it because I am a Special Ed teacher and there is no place for parents of children with disabilities to just bring them to play and feel comfortable knowing that there is going to be someone there to help with their disabilities,” Goldstein said. “I don’t know of any other place that you can just drop them off and run your errands and have time for yourself. I really wanted it to be like another area where I can help parents with children with disabilities.”

The owners pride themselves on calling Kreative Kidz a family-oriented place. “You don’t see many family places now. Parents don’t have to go out and buy a bunch of toys; they can come and stay here and play with them,” Goldstein said. “We just want a place where they don’t have to schedule a play date; they can just come in and play, learn and feel safe.”

For more information visit www.kreativekidznj.com, or call Dana Goldstein or Lori Parrinello at 732-707-4090.

Rotary Club, Matawan Methodist Church collect for Japan disaster relief

By ASHLEY DRAPKIN Correspondent

MATAWAN BOROUGH — On Thursday, May 19, the Matawan-Aberdeen Rotary Club and Matawan Methodist Church held a spaghetti dinner to benefit disaster relief for Japan.

The tickets were $10 a person and the money raised would go toward shelter boxes, which would be sent to Japan.

The shelter box provides a tent, survival equipment that includes thermal blankets and insulated ground sheets, treated mosquito nets and water purification equipment. The shelter box also comes with either a wood

burning or multi-fuel stove. There is also a basic tool kit. The shelter box includes mostly everything needed for survival, except food.

The businesses that donated were Columbia Bank, Ameriprise Financial, Waitt-Nelms Funeral Home, Serv-Pro of Aberdeen – Holmdel, Bayshore Fitness, Matawan United Methodist Church, Keyport IHOP, The Reception Center, and Simply Professional Entertainment.

“A lot of people bought tickets instead of coming, but they just donated,” Nancy Haddock said. “This was our first spaghetti dinner. We have also done a pancake breakfast for Haiti.”

Haddock explained that from here they

‘Bullying Pulpit’ addresses the facts for concerned parents

By MICHELLE TUCHOL Correspondent

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP — The school year may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean its policies are ineffective. In fact, the 2011-2012 school year will ensure that more stringent actions be taken against bullying for all students as well as train administration in the education system to handle each situation accordingly.

Middletown resident Samantha Rossnagel made sure that community members were aware of the NJ Assembly Bill 3466, “The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights.” She also informed those about what exactly bullying means in today’s society at last month’s Bullying Pulpit. The seminar was held at Christ Church as a part of Rossnagel’s Gold Star Award, the highest accolade received by a continuing Girl Scout.

As a senior at Biotechnology High School in Freehold Township, Rossnagel is a student who wants everyone to know that bullying, regardless of age, is a serious concern.

The term bullying lends itself to any form of abuse; it can be physical, emotional or verbal harassment. What can start with teasing may sometimes escalate into threats and physical harm. leader of 5/13/11 this informational session, 6 1 WORLD As SPLIT 4C MN 3:39 PM Page 1 Rossnagel spoke to attendees concerning bullying, harassment, teasing, and extended the event to speakers who deal with these matters every day.

School counselor Merri Milano and school psychologist Kimberly Keller addressed what exactly goes on in and out of the classroom when they find that a bully is intruding on another student’s personal boundaries.

“It starts at a very young age now,” explained Milano, as she spoke not only about aggressive students, but children who appear to be growing up too fast in an advanced society.

Milano made note that although it is school policy to take action under these circumstances, she wants parents to know that all discipline should start in the home.

Keller and Milano were able to come up with a few simple guidelines on what to do if you or someone you know is being bullied: • Find someone you can trust-talk to someone about the situation.

• Get involved-find students you can connect with.

• Stay with people who make you feel good.

• Be assertive-address the situation by making your feelings known.

• Act brave, even though you may not be.

The school system has every right to impose detention, suspension and even expulsion from school if a student fails to comply with teachers, counselors’ or other faculty involved in an incident. However, if the issue is unresolved, action can be taken outside the educational system and criminal charges can be issued (depending on the student’s age).

That’s when Officer Sean McGraw steps in.

As a patrolman for Holmdel Township Police Department, McGraw admitted he’s seen a

great deal of issues concerning bullying, and the number of complaints has grown in the past years.

Although the term is slightly outdated, McGraw noted that cyberbullying is becoming more prevalent.

“Facebook has become a huge problem with bullying,” McGraw mentioned.

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter leave the door wide open for just about anyone to post uncensored comments to friends or threats to possible enemies.

Luckily, these sites do monitor online traffic and activity. Even if a post gets taken off the site, there is still a log of everything that was typed, which comes in handy if there were ever harassment charges brought up.

Sadly, not every confrontation gets resolved.

One of the most recent, and unarguably devastating cases of harassment was that of Rutgers student Tyler Clemente. Clemente, 18, committed suicide last year after two students streamed an online video via webcam of Clemente engaged in gay sexual activity without his knowledge.

No bullying of any kind should ever reach this level. Although the education system enforces a “no tolerance policy,” laws that have been passed prior were not as detailed as the new Anti Bullying law that will go into effect next school year.

McGraw thoroughly covered what parents can expect for the following school year but pointed out that anyone can read through the entire bill to see the changes made from the

laws and policies of the early 2000s.

The bill is lengthy and covers every aspect of the school’s responsibility to keep students safe from bullying, intimidation or harassment. The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act can be viewed at www.njleg.state.nj.us/2010/Bills/ A3500/3466_R1.PDF. Another helpful resource that parents and students can use is the local library. Ellie Strbo, department manager at the Middletown Public Library, was also in attendance at the event. She handed out a list of informative books, magazines and websites geared toward bullying and bullying prevention that can be accessed via the library’s direct website at www.mtpl.org.

Strbo encourages students to visit the library often, as she believes it’s a safe haven for those who feel they have nowhere to go if they’re being bullied.

Rossnagel, who put a great deal of effort into the Bullying Pulpit project, is an active member of the Girl Scouts. She’s also enrolled in the police explorer program, a youth organization geared towards those who wish to learn more about a possible career in law enforcement.

“I’m going to change something!” Rossnagel exclaimed, hoping that her seminar was well received.

From the comments and compliments offered by attendees at the event, the Bullying Pulpit was a great way to educate students and parents on keeping the community a safer place.

Ranney School joins

Shore Conference TINTON FALLS BOROUGH — Ranney School has been trying to build up its athletic programs in recent years. Now the private school, located on Hope Road, Tinton Falls, will try to take the next step with its athletic programs as a member of the Shore Conference.

The general membership of the Shore Conference recently voted to admit Ranney into the conference.

Ranney, which has been in existence since 1960 and has students enrolled from the age of 3 through 12th grade with a 9-12 grade enrollment of 225, will become a member of the conference beginning in the fall of 2012.

The Panthers will compete in Class B Central with Asbury Park, Henry Hudson, Keansburg, Keyport, Mater Dei Prep, Point Pleasant Beach and St. Rose, the smallest schools in the conference. Ranney will become the 47th member of the conference.

“It definitely gives us legitimacy,” Ranney athletic director Tom Moriau said.

“People will know us. I think the people in Monmouth and Ocean counties know who we are, but I don’t know if they know about us. This definitely proves our point that we’re not just an academic school, but that we’re a well-rounded school.”

It is an arrangement that makes sense for both Ranney and the Shore Conference. For years, Ranney competed in the independent Patriot Conference, which consisted of 10 similarly sized prep schools, who were not members of the NJSIAA. However, when the NJSIAA realigned some of its conferences in the northern part of the state for the 2009-2010 school year, many members of the Patriot Conference moved into other NJSIAA-

sanctioned conferences.

Ranney, which became a member of the NJSIAA in the fall of 2008 and has won three consecutive non-public South B sectional girls tennis championships, was one of only three members left in the Patriot Conference, Moriau said. The NJSIAA website lists Ranney as the only remaining member of the Patriot Conference.

“As an athletic director, it’s going to help me out tremendously. This gives us a 14-game schedule in our division (in the sports where each school plays two games against the other schools in its division),” Moriau said.

“It also affords me the opportunity to keep some of the ties with some of the independent schools that we have a long history of playing,” Moriau said. “We get the best of both worlds.”

Meanwhile, Ranney helps balance out the number of small and large schools in the Shore Conference.

“It’s just a good fit,” said Shore Conference president Dave Ryden, who is also the Marlboro athletic director. “If you look at the entire conference, it’s top heavy.”

Moriau said Ranney currently fields varsity teams in 23 sports. That includes fencing, and crew, which the Shore Conference does not have. The only sports in which Ranney does not have a program are football, wrestling and ice hockey.

Ranney’s facilities include a swimming pool, playing surfaces for soccer that consist of FieldTurf, a brand new track and five brand new tennis courts, Moriau said.

“Our facilities are very good,” Moriau said. “We’re excited for people in Monmouth and Ocean counties to come to our campus and enjoy everything we have.”

BBBS PROFILE

Matt Burke and Antonio Big Brother Matt Burke and his Little Brother Antonio began their friendship in 2000 and have seen it grow over the past 11 years. Matt was a single guy when he reached out to Big Brothers Big Sisters to mentor a child in need of a positive influence. As the years passed, he got married and he and his wife had twins, but Matt still devoted time to mentor his Little Brother.

Antonio is now a senior in high school and was recently accepted to SUNY Maritime in the fall which was his top choice of colleges. When he found out, he texted Matt right away to share his great news!

Matt and Antonio have enjoyed many activities over the years and they have also participated in BBBS events as ambassadors for the program. In 2009, they spoke at the annual Matching Smiles Gala at Spring Lake Golf Club and the audience of almost 200 were moved to both laughter and tears at the stories they told.

Last summer, they golfed in the Charles LaFitte Foundation’s charity golf outing to benefit BBBS and again spoke from the heart about the great times they’ve had together. There’s no doubt that a lifelong friendship was created and we are proud to have Matt and Antonio as part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

Talking, playing games, participating in a community event, riding bikes, helping with homework or baking a cake are some of the ways to spend time with a Little Brother or Sis-

ter and it only requires a few hours of your time each month. The agency has over 40 children waiting for a mentor so call 732-544-2224 or visit www.bbbsmmc.org today to find out more about being a Big. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties is a donor supported volunteer agency. BBBSMMC serves children ages 6 to 17 years through one-to-one mentoring and expects to serve at least 550 kids in 2011.

PET CORNER Where’s Moose?

Adorable Adoptables SKIDDER is a sweet gentleman who has been in the shelter for almost two years. He is a little shy at first but once he knows you, he is very friendly and affectionate.

He loves to sit in your lap. Since Skidder has been living in the shelter for over a year, he qualifies for our "upperclassman" promotion, so his adoption fee is half price!

ROCKY is a 2 year old Labrador Retriever.

He is a handsome guy! Rocky loves other dogs. He is super friendly and smart and lived with children in his previous home. He enjoys playing with toys and balls, and he knows his commands.

PATRICK is a sweet 4-year old boy. He has been in the shelter for over a year and a half. He is affectionate, playful and loving and is good with dogs. Since Patrick has been in the shelter for over a year, he qualifies for our half-price "upperclassman" adoption fee promotion.

Moose Moore has gotten free and is roaming around the Matawan-Aberdeen area. Do you recognize where Moose is? Help us find Moose by emailing his location to pets@mycommunitypublications.com. Please put “Where’s Moose?” in the subject line.

For Medicare and private health example, assume that Mr. insurance do not pay for longSmith gives his son his car, term care costs. Only Medicaid worth $5,000. Mr. Smith has pays for long-term care costs, but made a $5,000 uncompensated Medicaid is only available to a transfer. Assume that Mr. person who has a limited amount By Smith sells his house, worth of assets.

Because Medicaid is only JOHN CALLINAN $100,000, to his son for $50,000. Mr. Smith has made available to individuals who have a limited amount of resources, Medicaid a $50,000 uncompensated transfer. If Mr. punishes people who dispose of their assets Smith owned a $30,000 bank account jointly in an attempt to impoverish themselves arti- with his son, and Mr. Smith’s name was reficially.

Medicaid aggregates all transfers that oca certain period of time prior to applying for curred during the lookback period. So, for Medicaid.

This period of time is called the lookback instance, if Mr. Smith made a $2,000 uncomperiod. Prior to February 2006, the lookback pensated transfer in each of the years precedperiod was three years. Now, the lookback ing the date of application, Medicaid would period is five years. What this means is that aggregate all five of those transfers and punwhen an individual applies for Medicaid, the ish Mr. Smith for having made a $10,000

transfer.

Medicaid punishes an applicant by making him ineligible for Medicaid benefits. The more valuable the uncompensated transfer, the longer the period of ineligibility.

Medicaid calculates the period of ineligibility by taking the value of the uncompensated transfer and dividing that figure by a divisor number. The current divisor number is $7,282, which is supposed to represent the average cost of a nursing home room. The $7,282 figure is set by the State, and the State likes to keep the divisor number artificially low, because the lower the divisor figure the longer the period of ineligibility that results for an uncompensated transfer.

So, for instance, if Mr. Smith transferred $72,000 during the lookback period, he would be ineligible for approximately 10 months. If Mr. Smith transferred $144,000, he would be ineligible for approximately 20 months.

If a person has made any uncompensated transfers during the lookback period, a penalty will be assessed based upon the aggregate of all transfers made during the lookback period, and only if the applicant receives all of the transferred money back will Medicaid eliminate the penalty. So, if

Mr. Smith transferred $144,000 during the lookback period, a 20 month penalty would be assessed. If Mr. Smith received $140,000 of this money back, Medicaid would still assess a 20 month penalty. Only if Mr. Smith received all of the money back would the penalty be eliminated.

So, what is the lesson to be learned: Plan early. People typically need care when they are in their 80s, so I suggest that people begin transferring assets when they are around 70 years of age. By transferring assets early, the person can avoid the lookback on those transfers so Medicaid cannot assess a penalty.

I do not, however, necessarily recommend transferring assets to children directly. Giving a child your money exposes the money to all of the child’s potential problems: divorce, death, creditors. Many of these issues can be avoided with the proper use of a trust.
