New Jersey Natural Gas Wins Lunch Break’s Community Picnic & Softball Tournament

2022 Lunch Break Softball Classic Tournament Champions with Jon Stewart

More than 500 people attended Lunch Break’s annual Community Picnic Softball Classic Tournament & Backpack Giveaway at Count Basie Field. Joining Lunch Break for the softball classic was producer, screenwriter, and supporter Jon Stewart. Stewart ushered in the beginning of the tournament series by throwing the ceremonial first pitch.

Once again, past champion New Jersey Natural Gas returned home with the coveted Lunch Break tournament trophy and was the overall victor in the 2022 Community Picnic Softball Classic lineup including teams from HABcore, Morgan Stanley, Manasquan Bank, Monmouth Cardiology Associates, HBK CPAs & Consultants, and Lunch Break. Mike Ayers and James Plummer were umpires for the series. A special thank-you goes to Sheldon Edmond who sang a stirring rendition of the national anthem.

“Everyone is always a winner at the Lunch Break annual Community Picnic, especially our community members in need,” said Director of Administration and Special Events Millie Jeter, who

organized the return of the much-anticipated community event, on hiatus since 2019 because of COVID-19 safety restrictions. “We couldn’t have done it without the tremendous help from volunteers, Team Healthy Together for Lunch Break, the staff and the support of our donors, local businesses and corporations, who helped to bring smiles to the faces of our families.”

The highlight of the afternoon was the Back-to-School Drive & Backpack Giveaway, where nearly 400 children received school supplies and backpacks donated by generous community members.

“We are grateful for the continued commitment from our incredible Board, volunteers, staff and supporters who, year after year, make this event a wonderful opportunity to be in community with the community,” said Jeter.

Hearts & Hands for Service

Meet Your Neighbors and Community Connectors,

Bonnie Featherstone-Johnson and Dr. Tom Johnson

S

BY LILIANN PARAS | PHOTO MELISSA AMORELLI

ometimes it is the small, unsung gestures that make you realize you are in the company of kind- hearted people. Such an encounter with Bonnie Featherstone-Johnson and Dr. Tom Johnson of Red Bank added context to their larger, more recognized contributions. CM reached out to them after learning they are this year’s recipients of Lunch Break’s Heart to Hand Award, given in recognition for their

tireless service to the organization. The CM crew was warmly invited into their home where we were promptly greeted by their pet cat. We later learned that Tom had adopted King Louis—a then 14-year-old cat with kidney problems—because nobody else would, and he and Bonnie embraced his weekly treatment requirements. This spirit of compassion, however, extends far beyond helping a homeless cat. Bonnie and Tom have

contributed funds, time, and talent to 180 Turning Lives Around, Community YMCA, Lunch Break, Holiday Express, SOURCE, Meals on Wheels, InterFaith Neighbors in Asbury Park, community gardens, VNA Health Group, and more. Their contributions span the gamut: leading multiple capital campaigns; making phone calls to thank donors; tutoring; sorting; washing dishes; delivering goods; and even to Tom’s stint as a party elf for Holiday Express!

The business acumen of Bonnie and Tom has been invaluable in enhancing their contributions to local nonprofits; Bonnie has experience in clinical research staffing, and Tom’s careers include IT and teaching. And, both are entrepreneurs, having created their own businesses along the way. They met on an airplane in 1984, married in 1986, and between them have six children, fifteen grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren “all living too far away”. While family is most important to them and their careers were rigorous, through the years and presently, they are steady community collaborators. They help local nonprofits reach their longterm goals as well as volunteer “in the trenches”, weekly, on-site, at a variety of organizations.

CM is pleased to share the insights of Bonnie and Tom, good reminders that we all can find a way to ease the path of others.

CM: What influenced each of you to become involved with community service?

Bonnie: I like to define my current role in the nonprofit world as that of a ‘Community Connector’. I was a single mother raising three children for ten years and that was the impetus for my work. I see those that are hungry and in need, and that was me 40 years ago. How

CIRCLE-CHEVRON-UP Dr. Tom Johnson packs a hygiene bag at The Center in Asbury Park

could I not offer help? In the early 90s I started to meet with four neat women at a local realtor office and we collected auction items for a 180 Turning Lives Around gala. In those days, we thought we were hot stuff because we raised $33K for the auction! I eventually went on their board, followed by board service at the Community YMCA, The Center in Asbury Park, Lunch Break, and recently, the VNA where I will be joining its capital campaign. I also volunteer weekly at InterFaith Neighbors in Asbury Park and joined its capital campaign too. I especially love connecting with donors and enjoy making thank you calls—and what a difference a voice makes!

Tom: It’s all Bonnie’s fault (he said with a smile). I was inspired by Bonnie’s enthusiasm for volunteer work even though

she was often just as busy as I was. Initially, I would occasionally be roped in to do some volunteer tasks, but I was too busy at that time to make a major commitment. It wasn’t until we decided to close our business, BonaFide Staffing, that I felt I had time for this. The death of my friend and golfing partner also created a big hole in my schedule. So, when Bonnie went on the board at Lunch Break and took on the capital campaign to expand the small Red Bank site, she persuaded me to monitor the finances.

This led to working with Holiday Express as a truck driver and party elf(!), and meal delivery for Meals on Wheels. I use my teaching background to work for SOURCE out of Red Bank Regional HS, coaching and tutoring DACA students in math and English. I am now studying Spanish at Brookdale College to improve

our communication. I also volunteer to check in and get lunches or groceries for clients at The Center in Asbury on Fridays. This continues and I now go in on Tuesdays to restock and pack hygiene bags.

CM: A large portion of your time and energy serves Lunch Break.

Congrats on your Heart to Hand Award! How did you first get involved with this group?

Bonnie: I chaired an Outreach Committee at our local church for many years and it was in that capacity that I met Gwendolyn Love (Executive Director of Lunch Break) in her tiny little office. I fell in love immediately and asked if I could join her board. I joined and eventually Gwen asked if I would chair their first capital campaign. I had no idea what that entailed, and “invited” Tom to act in a financial capacity with me.

We had a fabulous committee that met at our dining room table every Tuesday night. We raised $5M. When a second capital campaign for Lunch Break was envisioned, Tom and I again joined a

most sophisticated and committed group of professionals and at this time, we are near our goal of $12M! Tom: I was inspired by the gentle strength, commitment, and wisdom of Gwen Love. After I got involved, I was encouraged by the reactions of those I helped. Very often these are good people that simply didn’t get the breaks that I had. I enjoyed that work so much that I started working physically for Lunch Break, washing dishes, loading, and unloading trucks, and of course, working on the Finance Committee to monitor financial operations.

CM: What has been most satisfying about your community connections?

Bonnie: The staff and volunteers. Those who work in nonprofits are the most genuine, hardworking and wonderful citizens. They enter the field because of their desire to improve the lives of those in the community.

Tom: It’s really a great opportunity for the engineer, problem solver in me.

"Volunteering begins with the interest in helping others and the willingness to ask."

DR. TOM JOHNSON

"Make time in your busy lives to do productive and meaningful work."

CIRCLE-CHEVRON-UP Bonnie Featherstone-Johnson delivers freshly harvested produce to Lunch Break.

CM: Have you been frustrated or discouraged along the way with things you have witnessed? Were you able to remedy those situations?

Bonnie: I cannot remember ever being discouraged in my association with a charity. My attitude is that we must help them, short and long-term through the many resources here in Monmouth County. And, through the years, I have observed that clients are very grateful and appreciative.

Tom: Occasionally, some aspects of the work get frustrating. For example, when Lunch Break had trouble getting volunteers to sort donated pantry goods in our dimly lit basement in very crowded conditions, on low, rickety tables, I recruited a small group to fund and install lighting and sturdy tables as well as to reorganize the space for reasonable traffic.

CM: Any tips for those who want to get involved in community service?

Bonnie: Make time in your busy lives to do productive and meaningful work.

From the days of the first capital campaign, I have used the expression, ‘You must be specific to be terrific,’ and that seems to have stuck, universally. Also, colleagues know that I like to start and stop meetings on time.

Tom: Volunteering begins with the interest in helping others and the willingness to ask. Initially, it may not be the most rewarding work – like loading trucks or washing dishes. But, like anything else, after your work ethic and reliability get noticed, interesting things can come your way.

CM: What do you enjoy doing in your “spare” time?

Bonnie: As a Master Gardener, I volunteer at three local gardens, helping to plant and harvest beautiful produce that feeds Lunch Break clients!

and biking. For about 25 years Bonnie and I sang with the Monmouth Civic Chorus; but that ended with COVID. Now I spend time with puzzles every day and novels – reading two or three per week. Then there is the phone and FaceTime with grandchildren.

CM: Favorite quote or philosophy?

Bonnie: When I first started in sales in the early 90s, I listened to motivational tapes as I drove all over the Garden State. From an early pioneer in training materials, Earl Nightingale, I have adopted the phrase, ‘We are all put on this earth to serve.’

Tom: As Helen Keller said, ‘Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.’ It is the coming together of so many diverse people with different skills and interests, to do work that demonstrably helps those who would otherwise be left behind, that makes this work so satisfying.

Tom: Spare time used to include golf

Now known as The Mayor’s Invitational, it was originally created by the Mayor in 2017 as an excuse to keep his wife Nicole busy while he planned her surprise birthday party for that evening. “The participants loved the charitable impact of the day so much, and the camaraderie that came along with it, that they persuaded me to make it an annual event,” said Mayor Halpern. The event started with 16 players and has grown to 40 players. Every year, there is a waiting list of players anxious to participate in the tournament. “We have discussed going even bigger with the tournament, but a change of venue may be necessary to do so,” he noted.

This year there were 112 games played, beginning at 11:00 a.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m. The youngest player was 15 years old; the oldest, 62. Donations were offered even by those who did not attend or play. The event raised $2,670 and with the Mayor paying for all overhead, 100% goes directly to the chosen beneficiary. The winner of the tournament chooses the charity to receive the donation and this year, Fair Haven Community Appeal was the recipient.

The Mayor explained the Appeal is sent annually to all Fair Haven residents and helps to support nine separate entities: Fair Haven Recreation Commission; Fair Haven Library; Interfaith Neighbors; The ARC; 180 Turning Lives Around; Mental Health Association; Fair Haven Shade Tree Commission; Fair Haven Fields Natural Area; and the Garden Club of Fair Haven.

“This year’s tournament was the most successful day we have had,” said Mayor Halpern. “I am very proud to bring together so

many responsible Fair Haven residents for such a good cause. My favorite part of the day is walking players up to each other who have not met yet, to introduce them before they play. This year’s recipient was the choice as the tournament was so Fair Haven-centric. The winner thought it was a great idea to invest the money back to the Fair Haven community from which it was donated. Giving back feels good, giving back to Fair Haven feels great.”

The President of the Fair Haven Community Appeal, former Fair Haven Mayor Mike Halfacre, was presented with a check. He noted the donation was “the single largest donation to the Appeal that he can remember.”

Woman’s Club of Red Bank Presents Women RISE & Shine Breakfast As autumn marks the transition from warm to cool weather, it’s the perfect time of the year to think about transformation. Inspired by this time of year, the Woman’s Club of Red Bank is hosting a fall transformation breakfast featuring a panel of women who will share their experiences and advice for a better self-care and healthier life, balancing the mind, body, and spirit. Moderated by Joanne Farina, and honoring DonnaLyn Giegerich, this event will be held on October 22 from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. at the Woman’s Club of Red Bank.

Transformation is the theme for the current leadership team at the Club, as the ladies are “Women in Motion” with an enthusiastic momentum to revitalize the Club to bring it to the 21st Century. This motivating revitalization is being achieved by adding many events monthly to engage and bring awareness to the Club’s impactful presence as a community partner, offering so much to its members and the community. The Woman’s Club of Red Bank clubhouse, The Anthony Reckless Estate, was constructed ca. 1870 for one of Red Bank’s leading citizens, New Jersey Senator Anthony Reckless.

The Club purchased the property in 1921 for its headquarters, community meetings, and events.

6 Tips For a Fright Free Fall With Your Pet Ready or not, fall is here. The beach trips come to a halt, the kids are back in school and the cinnamon spice candles and fall decorations cover the house! While unexpected illnesses and injuries can happen at any time during the year, fall is also a time of lurking dangers for pets. Below are some tips to keep your pet happy and healthy during the autumn months.

, l a F y y'al! p a H

Football Parties & Food It’s officially football season, and everyone loves hosting a game. Unfortunately, pets are exposed to table scraps and dangerous foods that may give them upset stomachs, vomiting or diarrhea. Remind your guests to keep these foods away from pets so everyone can have a good time.

In addition to foreign foods, foods in large quantities are toxic to pets, such as grapes, onions, garlic and raisins. Some foods can present a risk for choking, such as: • • • •

Corn on the cob Fruits with pits Foods with bones (such as chicken wings) Toothpicks or skewers

Back to School Supplies Fall means back-to-school time, and those with young children know that means stocking up on items like glue sticks, pencils, and markers.

Although these items are low toxicity to pets, gastrointestinal upset and blockages can occur if ingested. Remind the little ones to store these items away in backpacks and out of reach of your four-legged friends.

Mushrooms Fall and spring are mushroom season. While most mushrooms are non-toxic, the 1% that are can cause life-threatening problems in pets.

Take extra care of the yard by inspecting it regularly and remove any site or growth and keep pets away from wet, wooded areas while on walks where mushrooms like to grow. While most mushrooms are hard to identify if toxic vs. not, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Mothballs Mothballs are classified as a pesticide and used to control moths, silverfish and other fiber pests in wool and other natural fiber clothing and materials. Mothballs are commonly made of naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, both of which are toxic to pets. To prevent mothball toxicity, store mothballs out of a pet’s reach, in airtight containers and always follow the product’s labels and guidelines.

Antifreeze Antifreeze has a sweet smell and taste that attract pets. Antifreeze is extremely dangerous if ingested and is one of the most common forms of poisoning in pets and can be fatal. Signs of early poisoning include acting drunk or uncoordinated, excessive thirst, and lethargy.

Rodenticides The use of rat and mouse poisons increases in the fall as these animals seek shelter from the cooler temperatures outdoors. Rodenticides are extremely toxic to pets and, if ingested, the results could be fatal. If you must use these products, do so with caution and store them in high places out of your pet’s reach.

As always, if your pet experiences an emergency to any of the above mentions, Red Bank Veterinary Hospital is here for you and them 24/7/365.

DI VORCE TA LK

BY PET ER C . PA R A S , E SQ.

DID THEY REALLY DO THAT? Criminal lawyers deal with some of the worst people on their best behavior.

Family lawyers deal with some of the best people on their worst behavior. The stresses and strains of divorce often contribute to some very bizarre, but unproductive, behavior.

In the mid-1970s, shortly after New Jersey enacted its equitable distribution law, a man in Middlesex County decided that if the judge was going to divide the marital assets, he’d help him. He got his extension ladder and his chain saw, climbed onto the roof, and literally cut the house in half – through the entire roof and down both sides of the house.

The judge ordered him to pay to repair the $60,000.00 in structural damage he caused. He did, however, receive fifteen minutes of fame – Esquire Magazine conferred one of its Dubious Achievement Awards on him and his “achievement” was prominently noted in the magazine’s

year-end issue.

A South Jersey couple, who lived on a lagoon, got divorced after having two children together. A few years later, in an unfortunate miscalculation, they remarried each other and had two more children. Then things got really bad.

After an argument, the wife unplugged the bilge pump that was keeping the husband’s boat afloat. Two days later, the boat was at the bottom of the lagoon.

Not to be outdone for sheer lunacy, the husband stole the ten-year-old daughter’s eyeglasses during his next visit and wouldn’t give them back. Why he thought hurting his daughter constituted revenge on his wife is open to speculation. The wife got the last pungent word in this dispute, however. She unplugged the freezer that contained the husband’s fishing chum (bait, not his fishing buddy). We can only imagine what happened next.

A North Jersey man returned home several hours after an argument with his wife over the telephone about infidelity. When he opened his closet he found the left sleeve of every garment he owned laying on the floor. Nearby was his wife’s scissor.

A prodigious party guy returned home in a stupor from a night of carousing at about 3:00 a.m. Since he had lost his keys, he rang the doorbell, waking his very perturbed wife. When she opened the door, there he was standing on the front porch, wearing only his belt, his shoes and a dopey grin.

These are extreme examples of bad behavior. Maintain your dignity. No one can take it away from you, but you can give it away. It is impossible to take emotion completely out of divorce, but it’s worth the effort to keep your behavior from reaching these depths. It’s important to you, your children and your sanity.

CBA Celebrates Installation Mass for New President R. Ross Fales Christian Brothers Academy (CBA) held an Installation Mass for R. Ross Fales, the fourth president in the school history. The Mass, celebrated by Father John Folchetti at St. Leo the Great in Lincroft, was attended by Brothers, trustees, faculty, students, family, and friends.

“It is with profound humility, yet great enthusiasm that I accept this special call to stewardship of Christian Brothers Academy,” Fales said in his address to the audience. “I stand before you today in a spirit of deep gratitude.”

Brother Robert Shaefer, Provincial of the Brothers’ District of Eastern North America, guided Fales in reciting the presidential oath of office and presented him with a medallion engraved with the school seal.

Fales follows in the footsteps of three Brothers of the Christian Schools who have served as CBA president: Brother Andrew O’Gara, Brother Frank Byrne ’75, and Brother Thomas Gerrow.

CBA’s new president is no stranger to the Academy, as Fales has been an administrator since 2006 and most recently served as the school’s ninth principal for seven years. During his time at CBA, he has also been the Associate Principal for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, as well as a member of the science faculty.

As principal, Fales guided CBA to several accomplishments, most notably earning the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 2017. It was the second time in school history that CBA earned the award and was one of just 50 high schools nationally to receive the accommodation that year.

In his role as president, Fales is the Academy’s “institution builder,” serving as the chief administrator during an important time in the school’s history. The 157-acre campus is undergoing an exciting transformation, with multiple new facilities being constructed and additional projects scheduled to be completed in the coming years.

Fales has a deep understanding of the importance of fundraising, enrollment management, and strategic growth for private, Catholic schools.

“As president of CBA, I will strive to uphold the great legacy built by the Brothers and lay faculty and staff before me, while also guiding CBA in the progress necessary to continue delivering a mission-driven, high quality, character focused, holistic and Catholic education in this 21st century,” Fales concluded.

Two River Theater is proud to announce an exciting theatrical season, featuring world premiere work as well as plays with some of American theater’s most lauded talents.

Artistic Director John Dias says, “Each of these plays centers on artwork: painting, sculpture, poetry, or music and celebrates the transformative power of art to provoke and stimulate, to make us laugh and rejoice, to help us grieve and heal, but mostly to bring us together to affirm our common humanity.”

Opening the season will be Wine in the Wilderness, written by the trailblazing playwright Alice Childress, and directed by Obie Award-winner Brandon J. Dirden. Kicking off the new year will be the complex and darkly funny world premiere of Living and Breathing by Mando Alvarado, which was part of the 2019 Two River Theater Crossing Borders Festival. In spring of 2023 Two River will present Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet in a modern verse translation by Hansol Jung, produced as part of the NAATCO (National Asian American Theatre Company) National Partnership Project. Finally, the passionate tale of revolution, art, and forbidden love, Two Sisters and a Piano, written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Nilo Cruz will end the season, giving audiences a glimpse into the shifting global politics surrounding 1990s Havana.

The season will also celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the wildly successful youth education program, A Little Shakespeare, in which local students work with professional artists to stage a 75-minute adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
