Monmouth County Historical Association (MCHA) welcomed over 400 members, friends, and history lovers to the 47th Annual Garden Party this summer. The evening soiree took place at the historic Hillandale House in Middletown, home of John Knott and John Fondas. The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners were honored for their enduring commitment to preserving the history of Monmouth County. “Throughout many decades, MCHA has greatly appreciated and valued the enthusiastic support of the County Commissioners,” said MCHA President Linda Bricker. “The Board of Commissioners has consistently recognized the importance of the Association’s mission and has provided vital funds and encouragement to assist in preserving and celebrating the history of Monmouth County for all. We are so happy to have this opportunity to thank all the County Commissioners present and past for their friendship and encouragement.”DeputyDirector Susan M. Kiley and Commissioner Nick DiRocco were in attendance representing Director Thomas A. Arnone and fellow Commissioners Lillian G Burry and Ross F. Licitra. All past Commissioners were also cordially invited to receive grateful thanks for their efforts on behalf of MCHA.

The Board of Commissioners has supplied crucial funds to MCHA to aid in the preservation and maintenance of its five historic properties, renowned collection and exhibitions, as well as showing support by attending events and presentations. Most recently, the Commissioners assisted with critical aid needed to present the 20th anniversary exhibition 9/11, Monmouth County and Its Aftermath at Taylor-Butler House. Hillandale was built in 1931 by J. Wright Brown, a New York banker and stockbroker. Designed by renowned architects Polhemus and Coffin, the Georgian Revival estate features murals of local vistas in the grand foyer. Set on eight acres that was once the property of Percy Straus, one of the seven children of Ida and Isidor Straus of Macy’s fame, the home offers sweeping views of the Navesink River, Huber Woods, and Navesink Country Club. Knott recently acquired Hillandale and he and Fondas are enthusiastically revitalizing this historic gem. For more information on MCHA and its current exhibitions, visit MonmouthHistory.org.

The evening’s live program was presented during a four-course dinner, which began with a heart-felt tribute to Larry by MC SPCA Executive Director Ross Licitra and Board Trustee and Gala Co-Chair Lisa Stavola. Appreciation for Larry, who was an avid animal lover and a dedicated support er of the Monmouth County SPCA, was ex hibited in a moving standing ovation. “ The Monmouth County SPCA was honored to celebrate Larry’s life, his lead ership and his love for animals,” said Mon mouth County SPCA Executive Director Ross Licitra. “Although Larry Hesse’s philanthropy touched many lives and many different organizations, we know none were as dear to his heart as were animals.

When American revolutionaries waged a war for independence, they took a leap of faith that sent ripple effects across generations. They embraced a radical idea of establishing a government that entrusted the power of the nation not in a monarchy, but in its citizens. That great leap sparked questions that continue to impact Americans: Who has the right to vote? What are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens? Whose voices will be heard? How do you participate as a citizen?
Voices and Votes: Democracy in America is a springboard for discussions about those very questions and how they are reflected in local stories. Voices and Votes is based on a major exhibition currently on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History called American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith. Content development for Voices and Votes was led by Harry Rubenstein, Curator Emeritus in the Division of Political History at the National Museum of American History. Voices and Votes has many dynamic features: historical and contemporary photos; educational and archival video; engaging multimedia interactives with short games and additional footage, photos, and information; and historical objects like campaign souvenirs, voter memorabilia, and protest material. Our democracy demands action, reaction, vision, and revision as we continue to question how to form “a more perfect union.” From the revolution and suffrage to civil rights and casting ballots, everyone in every community is part of this ever-evolving story – the story of democracy in America.

Individuals like to think about themselves as conspicuously unique personalities. Take a closer look however and it’s pretty clear that we are deeply social animals, biologically programmed for social interaction and territorial tribal behavior. For people watchers and students of human conduct, recent social and political unrest combined with a dangerous global pandemic have posited serious questions about the long-term effects of isolation and lack of access to traditional social relationships. The pandemic with all its restrictions seems to have struck at a fragile time of unprecedented divisiveness and polarized politics that have complicated participation in our basic rights of citizenship, which include voting rights and civil rights along with our constitutional right to peaceful public assembly. Yet, the urge to express ourselves as socially oriented tribal animals persists. In spite of, or perhaps in reaction to all this extraordinary mayhem, Kathleen Beausoleil of Fair Haven has been in her studio exploring silver linings of opportunity and reflecting on the various ways we gather to express our rights as citizens. She has been observing and learning about where we draw lines in the sand of our moral and ethical responsibilities to each other and to country. By documenting crucial moments of notable protest over the past several years, her works offer glimpses into some of the new ways we struggle to affect positive change. So, what are the long-term repercussions of pandemic isolation in what seems like an ever intensifying political, cultural, and racially polarized American landscape? How will it affect the ways we interact with one another in the future? How will it impact our right to free speech and the way we exercise our right to peaceful assembly? In an attempt to reconcile the space between us, Beausoleil’s new works are visual meditations on these puzzles and challenge us to reflect on our own place in the answers to these questions. In the artist’s own words, “It’s my experience, that as much as people need their privacy, they need other people feel accepted and fulfilled. They also need other people to project their grievances and rally around a common enemy. As social animals, we tend to find joy and meaning in the sense of belonging to something larger than ourselves. We are reassured and informed by the echoes of our personal scruples in the voice of our larger tribal identities.”

Mission Meow, a newly formed nonprofit, is slated to launch next month. Mission Meow will be partnering with businesses to crowd-fund donations for feline-centric nonprofits. By doing so, the level of charitable donations to these organizations will increase significantly, creating meaningful change for cats in need. Rumson resident Sally Williams, the former Founder and President of The Brodie Fund, is spearheading this new venture.
“The challenges that small nonprofits face have steadily increased the past few years especially in the cat community and Mission Meow will be a lifeline for those organizations,” said Williams.
Mission Meow will be partnering with businesses of all sizes in a unique and structured monthly “crowd funding” initiative. This method of hosting monthly fundraisers and then organizing, collecting, and distributing funds will provide small rescues with a large cash infusion. These funds will facilitate meaningful change by funding shelter renovations, purchase of transport vehicles, and other projects that would otherwise not be possible. For more information about Mission Meow and how you can help, visit MissionMeow.org.

I f you’re old enough to remember the 80s, you may recall the buzz around movies like Top Gun , wearing neon-colored…well, everything…as we danced to Let’s Get Physical , and either buying or receiving a home-brew kit for beer. Although enjoying the pleasure of alcohol started more than 7,000 years ago, in the beginning of 1979 it was still illegal in our country to brew your own beer at home. President Jimmy Carter and the Cranston Act changed all that and ushered in the home-brew hobby craze that reached its peak during the decade that followed. Soon the idea of craft beer, as it came to be called, as a viable local business took hold around the country and micro breweries and brewpubs began emerging in the 80s and 9 0s. As September is the traditional start of October fest for all beer-loving enthusiasts, we at CM c aught up with the man who pioneered the brewpub in New Jersey. He owns Triumph in Red Bank, the oldest continually operating brewpub brand in our state. Settle back, pour yourself a pint, and meet your neighbor Adam Rechnitz. M PH ANT LEADER IN THE HISTORY OF BREWPUBS BY CATHY PADILLA | PHOTOS MELISSA AMORELLI
Adam Rechnitz A TRIU
CONTINUED >
Adam: Red Bank is my hometown; I was born in Riverview. My family lived in Oak Hill (Middletown) and my siblings and I went through the public school system. My brother and I rode our bikes everywhere, and Red Bank was where we would go to hang out with friends. So, I have fond memories of the place and even though it’s changed a lot, it’s still home to me.
CM: Where does one go to school to learn how to be a brew master?
CM: Why take on the battle? Why not open just a restaurant or just a Adam:brewery?
CM: What’s the meaning behind the Adam:name?
CM: You started in the college town of Princeton… Adam: The Princeton brewpub opened in 1995 and was the first. It was an im mediate hit with the public; at first be cause of the novelty; no one had seen a f ull-scale brewery operating inside of a restaurant. When the novelty wore off, it became the quality of the experience that kept them coming back. The New Hope, PA location opened in 2003. The Red Bank location opened in November of 2018.
CM: You started your first brewpub soon Adam:after… Yes, but it took some work. The same year I earned my Siebel diploma, 1992, I founded the Garden State Craft Brewers Guild to lob by for changes in the law to c reate a new license for a new kind of entity called a brew pub – a restaurant and full b ar with a brewery inside of it. Before then, it wasn’t legal in New Jersey. Gov ernor James Florio signed the bill into l aw in 1993. Triumph was the first li censed brewpub in the state and opened its first location in Princeton in March of 1995. I’m happy to say Triumph is the oldest continually operating brewpub in the state.
There was significant opposition against changing the law that allowed brewpubs to operate. So that was part of it…we were triumphant. I was also look ing for a slightly British sounding name a s we were brewing mostly English-style ales in the beginning.
The craft-beer revolution had already begun when I was in college in the mid-80s. Anchor, Sierra Nevada, and New Albion were brewing on the West Coast and East Coast beer importers re sponded with never-before-seen beers f rom the UK, Belgium, and Germany. I was awash in it all. When people ask me how I came to own these brewpubs I tell them that my homebrewing just got out of control. As a brewing consultant I was paid to be the hired gun working behind the scenes. I saw many brewpub opera tions around the country at the time and t hought to myself that I’d like to step out from behind the curtain, taking every thing I had learned in both brewing and b usiness, and give it a go.
Adam: Well, in my case, first I learned how to philos ophize. I attended Trinity C ollege in Hartford, CT and graduated with a degree in philosophy. Then I attended University of California, Da vis and took various courses i n brewing science. I worked for two years as a production brewer in Seattle and then completed the Siebel Insti tute’s Diploma Program in B rewing Science in 1992 and began a brewery consulting business.
CM: Why Red Bank, and what about the town is special to you?
CM: What sets you, and Triumph, apart from others doing what you Adam:do? What sets Triumph apart from many brewpubs is that we are not shoot ing at the lowest common denominator.
CM: What’s your favorite aspect of Adam:Triumph?
I think sometimes Triumph throws the public a bit of a curveball because even today beer still gets treated in this country as a less sophisticated drink than wine or liquor. As a result, the public’s expectation for menu offerings is fairly low. They expect nachos, wings, burgers – traditional pub food. This is partly a result of the mass marketing by the major indus trial brewers; a milder product will h ave the greatest potential appeal. It’s a shame because as many people have learned during this craft-brew renaissance, beer pairs better than wine with many dishes, especially spicier ones like Indian, Thai, and Mexican. Furthermore, I just don’t think the area needs yet another ca sual restaurant and bar serving mass m arket beers and a pub menu. I want more interesting food on the menu, and I want service to be a little more polished, even though execution can prove difficult in current conditions.
I even want different music. I grew up with what has come to be known as classic rock; Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Tom Petty… but there is so much more interesting music out there. So, much of the music we play both canned and live is of a much wider variety, including jazz and blue grass.
Triumph is not a nano or mi crobrewery that serves only its own b eer. We are a restaurant with a brew ery inside of it. We have a liquor li cense that allows us to function as a f ull-service restaurant; we serve wine and cocktails made with botanicals from our extensive garden, and serve lunch, dinner and brunch five days a week. We have daily seasonal specials on our menu, host live original music Thursday through Saturday and es chew cover bands.

Adam: Be an unsparing critic of your own performance but do your best to avoid perfectionism.
CM: Who has most influenced your career or life? Adam: My father. Very bright, very de manding. And yet he gave a wonderfully m addening piece of advice, “Play it with a lighter hand.” How do you square the two? (Adam’s father is the late Robert Rechnitz, the playwright and philan thropist who co-founded Red Bank’s T wo River Theater with his wife, Joan.)
CM: What do you do when you’re not Adam:working? I’m married to a beautiful wom an, Liz, and have a beautiful daughter, E sme, and two wire-haired fox terriers, Tilly and Popeye. My wife and I love to garden; we have a garden for perennials and a large vegetable garden. Composted spent mash from the brewery and vege table trimmings from Triumph’s kitch en wind up back in the garden feeding v egetables, some of which end up back in Triumph’s kitchen. It’s nice to ‘close the loop’ this way. Giving back, however you can, is something I learned from my parents.

CM: So how do you overcome all that?
CM: Do you have a favorite quote that helps keep you going? Adam: The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more. – Jonas Salk
Adam: When all the work and prepa ration behind the scenes pays off, the re staurant hums with a palpable energy that both the staff and public feels and the machine thrums along. It is electric and an addictive thrill.
What is your best life tip to share?
Adam: Growing the business and be coming more a part of the fabric of the c ommunity. Triumph was closed entirely to the public from March of 2020 until May of 2021. So, it’s felt like we’re really starting over. I like being in town rath er than out on Route 35. Being part of a c ommunity and giving back to it has al ways been important to me. I’m looking forward to continuing to partner with different civic groups and associations.
CM: What is the most challenging part of what you do?
CM: What is the most rewarding part of your career?
Lunch Break, Monmouth Conservation Foundation . . . we want to learn about the community’s needs and how we can help.
CM: What comes next?
Adam: Everyone knows the restau rant business is brutal, you hear it all t he time. But this last year has been off the charts; a global pandemic, a brutal ly tight market for labor, snarled supply c hains, and recalcitrant inflation. Life; you never see it coming!

The Rumson Historic Preservation Commission (RHPC) will be hosting a celebration of Rumson’s historic homes at Victory Park on October 2 beginning at 1:00 p.m. The event will include an award ceremony to Rumson homeowners who have displayed extraordinary acts of preservation, restoration, or overall dedication; a chance to mingle with other historic home lovers and to learn more about RHPC; as well as a selfguided walking tour of the streets around Victory Park and Rogers Park featuring 15 to 20 homes total.
Led by chairman, Charley Shay, RHPC maintains a vibrant website that catalogs every home and building in Rumson that is more than 100 years old. In addition, the website contains Rumson history, narrated home tours and much more. Those with century-old homes can also find the application to purchase a brass plaque for their exteriors. The plaque is purely decorative and carries no historic designation. The mission of the Rumson Historic Preservation Commission is to archive, preserve, and celebrate historic homes and buildings in its beloved town. For more information, visit RumsonNJ.gov/rhpc.

The outcomes of Truly Great N–8 education are best understood on graduation day. When eighth graders leave RCDS, they are intellectually prepared for demanding academic environments. Gator grads can manage their time, are accustomed to solving problems to achieve an excellent result and can speak confidently to an audience of hundreds. Role models for the community, they epitomize The Four Pillars — Kind, Honest, Responsible and Respectful — traits they will carry on to high school, college and beyond. It’s why so many of our graduates describe RCDS as “the best gift my parents ever gave me.” See what Truly Great N–8 can do for your child. Connect with us at admissions@rcds.org.
Netta Architects Cuts Ribbon on Newly Redesigned Hominy Hill Golf Course Center
“Hominy Hill is a stunning public course and we’re proud to work with the County to update their public facilities,” said Nicholas Netta, President of Netta Architects. “I believe visitors will find the new space provides a comfortable and modern experience that matches the beauty of the course.”
Netta Architects announced the opening of the redesigned Hominy Hill Golf Course Center in Colts Neck. Modernized amenities include a banquet room, locker rooms, and a new Pro Shop. Netta was selected by the Monmouth County Park System to design a complete renovation of the existing GolfTheCenter.original clubhouse was a two-story 11,000 square feet building converted from dairy barns in the mid1960s. The project, led by architect Hong Jinn, includes a reconfiguration of the building’s interior along with a new addition bringing the structure to an impressive 12,000 square feet of space.
When a child is estranged from a parent from whom a contribution is sought, the reasons for the estrangement take on significance. Is the child difficult and unappreciative? Did the PPR alienate the child from the PAR? Did the PAR alienate himself from the child? In several family court cases, conspiracy-like behavior between the child and the PPR to distance the PAR from the child’s life resulted in no contribution from such an alienated parent. However, when the parent’s bad behavior caused the rift, the alienated parent will likely be required to contribute.
How much will it cost when the child is college age? What will the parents’ respective financial abilities be at the time? When college is more imminent, these questions can be answered and the allocation of responsibility can be determined.
The ever increasing cost of post high school education, whether college, vocational school, or something else, is a serious concern for many parents today. It is an extraordinary cost that many divorcing parents of teenagers must give serious consideration. College costs include the more obvious expenses – tuition, room and board, books, and required fees. Nowadays, however, the list of often-included expenses also encompasses SAT/ACT review courses and registration fees, transportation to and from college several times per year, trips to visit colleges the student is considering applying to, and application fees. Sometimes college coaches, computers, and study abroad costs are added to the Mostlist.parents want the best for their children, but who pays when both want their children to have every advantage, but also prefer the other parent to shoulder the greater financial burden? In most circumstances both parents have an obligation to contribute to their child’s educational expenses. On the other hand, both parents (whether custodial or non-custodial) have the right to consultation about and a say in the choice of school and the costs they can afford.

Included
Another important factor is the age of the child at the time the parents are getting divorced.When the children are younger than fifteen or sixteen the issue is usually too speculative to resolve in a concrete way and must be postponed. Will the child’s grades qualify him/her for college? Which college?

Typically the Parent of Primary Residence (PPR) is most directly involved in the initial college selection process (not always). She/he generally has more daily contact with the child and often a greater exposure to the child’s thoughts and plans about college. It is the PPR’s duty to provide the Parent of Alternate Residence (PAR) with all the information she/ he has access to. It is both parents’ duty to communicate with each other and the child about the selection process and how much each can afford to contribute. Of course, the children have obligations, too. They must be diligent and serious about their studies. They must apply for financial aid. Often children are expected to work during the summer to help defray costs and to take loans which they will repay in the future. How much each parent contributes and how much a child must earn and/or borrow is dependent on a multitude of factors. Among them are the parents’ respective incomes, assets and liabilities, the child’s ability to contribute to the educational expenses, the child’s relationship with each parent and, of course, the costs associated with the schools the child is considering.

The morning began with breakfast provided by Atlantic Bagel Co. of Atlantic Highlands and the attendees later enjoyed food from Mangia Brick Oven Pizza. Jersey Mike’s of Middletown donated lunch. Attendees received custom printed t-shirts specially made by Henderson Promos, donated by SFC Enterprises, Inc. This year the fishing trip also had an astounding number of prizes and gifts donated to the children. Fishing rods were awarded to the kids who caught the three largest fish, courtesy of The Reel Seat in Brielle. Additionally, an amazing raffle prize donated by Canyon Runner Sportfishing for a full day fishing charter. All the guests on the boat also received an assortment of day passes to local amusement parks and fun centers donated by Press Communications.
Recently, Immediate Care Medical Walk-In hosted its 7th Annual Kids Fishing Trip. CEO, Sal Cannizzaro, welcomed approximately 60 children and adults from community organizations Father Time, Frances Foundation, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth and Middlesex County for a fun-filled day of fishing sponsored by Immediate Care. The 75-foot charter boat left out of Atlantic Highlands guided by Captain Mike and deckhands, Dee, Zack, and Sissy.“This is a truly wonderful day filled with fun not only for the kids but for all of us involved,” said Sal Cannizzaro. “The kids also learn so much about fishing and marine life. It really is an all-around educational and rewarding experience for everyone.” D uring the excursion, the Immediate Care team also took the time to properly show the kids how to bait their rods, cast, and reel in when they got a bite. The Littoral Society also joined the event to teach the children about the different species of fish and which fish are tagged and which are returned to sea due to size.

The Parker Family Health Center (PFHC) is expanding and renovating its medical clinic. Details of the project were shared with friends and supporters at Parker’s Summer Celebration, held last month at the Navesink Country Club in Middletown.Parker’s expansion will provide for more exam rooms as well as private consultation and telehealth areas. New exam rooms are expected to increase existing patient visits from 7,400 to nearly 10,000 annually. Renovation plans include new multipurpose spaces allowing for an expanded Covid vaccination program and educational classes open to patients and community members. The expansion will include a new 2875 square foot two-story building with additional parking spaces. Programmatic enhancements will include dedicated space for expanded mental health services and phlebotomy (blood tests), a critical service just recently added onsite. Plans also include upgrading the heating and air-conditioning systems and modernizing all IT, safety, and security systems. Existing medical equipment will be upgraded to support professional evaluations, assessments, and treatment options. Parker is proud to be supported by Dorothea Bongiovi, Parker’s Honorary Capital Campaign Chair, as well as Carol Stillwell and Peter Graham, Jr., Campaign Co-Chairs. In addition, Parker is honored to be one of four 2021 Impact 100 Jersey Coast grant recipients. The $110,000 award will be used to help kick start the much-needed expansion. Groundbreaking is scheduled for this fall with completion anticipated in 15 to 18 months. “The expansion will be a transformative moment in Parker’s history,” said Executive Director Suzy Dyer, Esq, CHC. “The ability to be responsive to the ever-growing demand for medical care for those who are unable to afford it will better position us to meet our mission promise. Our patients rely on us every day, and this expansion will make sure we are here for them.”

Parker continues to support Monmouth County residents who have no health insurance or the means to pay for medical care. Offering a broad range of services, the medical center was conceived 23 years ago by Dr. Eugene Cheslock, a retired oncologist, who, along with local leaders and other physicians, was determined to provide a medical clinic for the community’s least fortunate. In July 2000, the clinic opened in a small trailer and three years later moved to its current facility on Shrewsbury Avenue. The clinic has been seeing patients in this building ever since.
