This fall, the Count Basie Center’s Fall Gala honored former board chairperson Tim Widener and his wife, Janet, in a celebration that took over the entirety of the newly-expanded Basie Center campus, including its new grand lobby, historic theater and The Vogel, the facility’s new performance venue.

San Francisco band Train (Drops of Jupiter, Hey Soul Sister, Drive-by) performed to a packed house, which included a veritable who’s-who of the region’s philanthropists and com-

munity leaders. Widener, who presided over the Basie Center board during its $28 million expansion, was recognized for not only his leadership, but his devotion to the arts and arts education – the cornerstones of the Basie Center’s nonprofit mission. As part of the ceremony, the Basie Center revealed that a scholarship in the name of Tom and Janet Widener will be offered in perpetuity at the Count Basie Center’s Academy of the Arts.

More Than 300 Gather to Celebrate a Community of Giving at Lunch Break’s Fall Gala

Gala host, Jon Stewart

Lunch Break supporters were reunited for a magical evening of entertainment under the stars to honor the selfless work of philanthropic community leaders on behalf of financially and food insecure community members during the 2021 Fall Gala: We Rise Together, Restoring and Rebuilding Lives at the Basie Center for the Arts and Education recently.

The event was hosted by Jon Stewart of the Apple TV+ series, The Problem With Jon Stewart. The gala committee, co-chaired by Mimi Keenan and Tina Pflaster, coordinated the fundraiser’s fall harvest theme -- an iconic nod to Lunch Break’s nutritious food service programs.

“Lunch Break provides an invaluable service to our community.

It’s essential in normal times and its value has only grown in these difficult times,” said Jon Stewart of the organization’s efforts to feed community members struggling financially during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m always impressed by their compassion and thorough execution of not just food insecurity issues, but job training and overall life management support.”

Stewart added: “I’m hard pressed to think of a more worthy organization, especially given how they have risen to this unusual and challenging moment. We must now rise to meet them.”

Honorees Abe (Lunch Break Advisory Council) and Linda Littenberg; Carol Stillwell (Advisory Council); Robin (Board member) and John Klein (former Board President)

The evening was a window into the heart and soul of Lunch Break, the food and social services resource center at 121 Drs James Parker Blvd., with compelling testimonials from clients such as Chelsea Zamot and Dominique Faison, each of whom was facing homelessness, financial burdens and other challenging circumstances. They both were offered hope for a better tomorrow after receiving guidance and support from dedicated staff and volunteers.

Stewart introduced this year’s honorees, which included such distinguished community leaders as Lunch Break Advisory Council Member Carol Stillwell, President and CEO of Stillwell-Hansen, Inc., Norma Todd Service Award; former Lunch Break Board President John Klein and his wife, Board Member Robin Klein, Heart to Hand Award; and Guttenplan’s Frozen Dough, A Child’s Place School, Lincroft, and Abe and Linda Littenberg, Corporate Platinum Partner Award.

Gala proceeds will be used to sustain the food, clothing, outreach, mentoring, and Life Skills programs and services critical to so many individuals and families in our community who have been impacted by the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wishing Your Family a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, & Joyous Holiday Season!

This year’s Count Basie Center Teen + College Film Fest is presented by Bank of America.

Daughter of Macy’s Parade Santa Continues Tradition as Mrs. Claus

Leading Monmouth County Conservation Group Announces Largest Gift in its History

Gloria Nilson with her husband, Len

With the holiday season in full swing, the Monmouth Museum is celebrating with its nostalgic trains display winding through the Main Gallery and a rainbow-themed giant Christmas tree. To add to the opening reception festivities on November 21, Mrs. Claus (also known as longtime employee Maureen Starace) dropped in for story time and crafts. Maureen delights in the opportunity, as it has become a family tradition started by her father.

In fact, one could say Maureen is the daughter of Santa Claus himself. For 22 years, her father, Mike Hastry, closed the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with his reindeer and sleigh as the official Santa Claus. While involved with the parade for more than 50 years, Mike took on the role of St. Nick from the 1980s through the early 2000s. In addition to Mike’s role as Santa for Macy’s, he would go annually to Kennedy Airport escorted by the Mayor of New York City to meet and greet children with special needs from the five boroughs.

Maureen, who lives in Matawan, lit up when the Museum Executive Director approached her to lead the holiday activities as Mrs. Claus.

“This would have made my father so happy,” she said. “Being Santa was a role he cherished very much. He brought tremendous delight to all the children lining the parade route and of course the many children watching the parade on TV. I’m beyond excited to welcome children to the Monmouth Museum to celebrate the holiday season as Mrs. Claus.” She continued, “He held that role close to his heart throughout his life. He passed away at 2 a.m. on December 26, 2007, almost as if he had to finish his Christmas duties that year.”

Mrs. Claus will host special programming, story time, and crafts throughout December at the Monmouth Museum.

The Holiday Trains Display and its programming with Mrs. Claus is sponsored by Brookdale Community College.

Monmouth Conservation Foundation (MCF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the county’s precious natural resources, recently announced a pair of transformational donations, including the largest single gift in its 44-year history.

MCF says the financial contributions are reflective of remarkable momentum and community support for its mission to create parks, save open space and farmland, safeguard wildlife and waterways, and provide educational programs to nurture the next generation of environmentalists.

One of these remarkable donations, a gift of $2,000,000, is being made anonymously, with a generous philanthropist providing the funds to support the creation of a park for an underserved community in Monmouth County.

The other extraordinary commitment comes from MCF Executive Committee member Gloria Nilson and her husband, Len. The planned gift, a bequest intention, will allow for the creation of The Nilson Society, a planned giving program for MCF donors who provide for the organization in their estate plans.

“On behalf of all of us at MCF, and people from all walks of life who will benefit from these remarkable gifts, I want to thank both the Nilsons and our donor who wishes to remain anonymous,” said William D. Kastning, Executive Director of Monmouth Conservation Foundation. “In recent months we have heard from many people who tell us the pandemic has only heightened their appreciation for the beautiful natural spaces we protect, and that these places MCF has helped make possible have strengthened their bodies, minds and spirits.”

Kastning added, “It is vital that all communities have nearby access to parks, open land, clean air and fresh water. These gifts will help ensure that is a reality for generations to come, and we look forward to sharing details of how we will put the funds into action to realize our vital shared goals. We are also confident these wonderful donations will inspire others to support our work.”

Thousands Clean New Jersey Beaches and Waterways at NJ’s Largest Volunteer Environmental Event 70 Beach Sweeps locations along the shore and beyond!

Red Bank Regional High School Environmental Club removes a tire on the beach at Sandy Hook

More than 4,000 volunteers gathered this fall at 70 New Jersey beaches and waterways to clean harmful debris at Clean Ocean Action’s (COA) 36th Annual Fall Beach Sweeps. Enthusiastic volunteers spent the day collecting and tabulating debris that they removed from shorelines from Bergen to Cape May Counties. The data produced from this event is combined with the data from the Spring Beach Sweeps and publicized in an annual report that provides a deeper exploration into litter on the Jersey Shore.

Beach Sweeps help to reduce litter in the marine environment, where it is harmful and often lethal to wildlife. The data from the Beach Sweeps turns a one-day event into a legacy of information to improve public awareness, change wasteful habits, enforce litter laws and improve policies to reduce sources of marine debris. Marine debris is a human caused, human solved issue.

“The hard work and effort of the volunteers goes beyond leaving behind a cleaner beach. Volunteers at the Beach Sweeps become citizen scientists, documenting a snap-shot of the types and amounts of litter found on the Jersey Shore. By recording the data, they are helping us work toward a future where beach cleanups are not needed because litter is prevented at the source” stated Alison Jones, Watershed Program Coordinator, Clean Ocean Action.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

“The Beach Sweeps is an empowering event. It’s not only a wake-up call to the small and the tall about the problem of marine debris, but provides them a way to make a difference by improving the ocean and beaches they enjoy so much. The data they collect is most important. Thanks to volunteers carefully recording what they collect over the years we know that over 7.4 million pieces of trash have been removed and these facts are being used by local, state, and federal officials to reduce sources of marine debris such as reducing single use plastics,“ said Cindy Zipf, Executive Director, Clean Ocean Action.

“Waves of thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers, from the small to the tall, who participated in the Beach Sweeps! Together we can all make a difference for a cleaner ocean to be enjoyed by generations to come simply by picking up litter whenever and wherever we see it. For example, a piece of debris found on a central or northern New Jersey street can travel downstream and eventually end-up in the ocean.”

With gratitude, Clean Ocean Action thanks Willie’s Superbrew for its 2021 Beach Sweeps Statewide Sponsorships. The Fall Beach Sweeps are made possible by support from many generous supporters.

Trevor Donovan: A Star in All Seasons By: Cathy Padilla | Photo: Manfred Bauman

With the Christmas movie season in full swing, fans of the rom com family-friendly genre have more movies than ever from which to choose. What once was only a seasonal offering from Crown Media through two of its three channels, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Christmas movie season is now a multi-network, two-month battle for the hearts, and viewership, of millions of fans. One star that always causes fans to swoon, and ratings to soar, is Trevor Donovan. We caught up with Trevor for this interview while he was on the set for one of his upcoming movies, The Engagement Plot, in which he stars opposite Rachel Boston. The film will release in 2022.

T

revor recently signed an overall deal with a new media company run by Bill Abbott called GAC Media.

The network offers two channels, GAC Family and GAC Living. Trevor is one of only a few rom com stars who have Christmas movies airing on two networks this year. Ironically, one of the other stars who has a movie on both Hallmark Channel and GAC Family is Trevor’s co-star, Merritt Patterson.

Their movie, Jingle Bell Princess, will air on GAC Family on December 4.

Despite the many rom com movies in which Trevor has starred, USS Christmas, Two for the Win, Snowcoming, Love Fall and Order, Love on a Limb, and many others including his most recent on Hallmark Channel Nantucket Noel, he had never played in a movie about royalty. An extremely popular subject matter in the family-friendly rom com genre, the movies usually focus on a male royal falling in love with a female commoner.

“It was fun to finally star in a royal movie,” said Trevor. “This one is a bit different than many, the royal is a princess played by Merritt. The movie is based on the book His Jingle Bell Princess by Barbara Dunlop.”

From one type of world leader to another, Trevor recently finished shooting

his part in the movie Merritt Patterson and Reagan which will air Trevor in Jingle Bell Princess, early in 2022. A sweepcourtesy of GAC Media ing biopic on the life of the 40th US President, the movie stars Dennis Quaid in the titular role.

Trevor plays Ronald Reagan’s longest-serving Secret Service agent.

“Reagan was a very special experience. I was able to speak with the family of the character I play, John Barletta, and that added new depth to the role,” shared Trevor.

“I also was able to ride horses on the Reagan ranch in the same spots President Reagan did.

That was once-in-a-lifetime.”

The movie is partially shot on the 688-acre Reagan ranch, Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara. During Reagan’s presidency, it was known as the Western White House. No other film has ever been able to shoot on the property which is now owned by the Young America’s Foundation.

Whether it’s riding horses or playing with his beloved three dogs, Bulldog Tito, Golden Retriever Shadow, and Labrador Chance, Trevor is a friend to animals. His merchandise line, Citizen K9, features his pack on clothing.

“I was always a dog lover, as long as I can remember,” said Trevor speaking of Meal: Pizza or sushi his dogs. “What can I say, they’re the best Cocktail: Bloody Mary dogs in the world. Seriously, everyone says they have the best dog - and they’re not Song: Live Wire by AC/DC wrong.”

Also close to his heart are Trevor’s Movie: Fight Club philanthropic endeavors. His most recent Actor: Denzel Washington service is to his #bethekindkid campaign that was recently rebranded to #TheUpBook: The Alchemist standers. Before the onset of the pandemic, Trevor partnered with the Ad Council on a nation-wide anti-bullying program. In

Trevor’s Favorite Things:

December 2019, he successfully held his first anti-bullying assembly at Deer Lakes Middle School in Pittsburgh, PA. GAC Media will partner with Trevor in bringing his anti-bullying message back to schools starting this winter.

“Being kind is always the right choice,” said Trevor. “I’m thrilled that in my deal with GAC Media the executives there also believe in, and support, this initiative. They will help by promoting #TheUpstanders on air and by helping me get from point A to point B. Thank you Bill Abbott!”

A 25-year veteran in the family-friendly space, Abbott is known as a creative and marketing genius in the television world. As the former President and CEO of Crown Media, he was at the helm when the network created Countdown to Christmas.

“Trevor is a gifted actor and talented producer who I have had the pleasure of working with for more than a decade,” said Abbott.

“We’re thrilled about this expanded partnership and look forward to not only making entertaining movies together, but also working hand-in-hand to shine a light on the importance of bullying prevention.”

Trevor’s deal with GAC Media will have him starring in, and executive producing, both films and series for the network.

When he’s not busy making movies, playing guitar, working out, playing with his dogs, or giving back, Trevor spends time at his home in Mammoth Lakes, a town in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains about five hours from Los Angeles. He enjoys time with his dad renovating his childhood home which he recently purchased from his parents.

The Battle for the Christmas Viewer Those who control our television viewing have realized there is a solid base of fans who absolutely love the Christmas movie genre. Traditional broadcast networks, cable channels, and streaming channels are all producing more content for the season than ever before. So much so, even channels like the Food Network are joining in on the fun. Between Halloween and Christmas Day more than 140 new Christmas movies will become available on television.

GAC, short for Great American Channels, has joined the growing list of channels that devote much of their November and December airtime to Christmas. Channels such as UPtv, Ion, TBS, CBS, and ABC all premiere holiday movies. But the players with the most movies are Hallmark, Lifetime, Netflix, and now GAC Family. The two Hallmark channels will air a total of 41 new movies between October and December, a new network record. Not to be outdone, Lifetime has upped its content considerably this year, offering a new Christmas Movie each night in December. And the brand new GAC Family, having launched this fall, will air an impressive 12 movies.

If you’re a rom com Christmas movie fan, be sure to visit our website, communitymagazinenj.com, after December 12. We’ll have exclusive photos from the ChristmasCon event being held December 10, 11, 12 in Edison with all your favorite stars.

Holiday Parenting Time As the holidays approach, most people’s stress levels increase. When you’re going through a divorce, the holidays add immeasurably to the nearly constant stress you’ve been experiencing.

And, when you have children, stress can increase geometrically.

This is the time when parents must summon every bit of self-control and rationality possible from deep within.

Children look forward to holidays. They also love their parents. It is, therefore, essential that both parents put aside their anger and hurt so that the holidays will be as happy and fulfilling for the children as possible.

Common sense should prevail.

Typically holidays are alternated so that each parent has the children on a particular holiday every other year. A common example is to treat Christmas

Eve and Christmas Day as two separate holidays. Mom may have the children on Christmas Eve through noon (or some other time) on Christmas Day. Dad would then have the children for the balance of Christmas Day (and sometimes overnight until December 26). The following year would be the reverse.

However, this arrangement certainly, isn’t required. Some families’ traditions revolve principally around a Christmas Eve celebration. Others do most of their celebrating on Christmas Day. Rather than alternate from year to year, keeping the holiday that is consistent with a parent’s family tradition would most likely make more sense.

This year, more than in most, additional creativity may be required due to constraints the COVID-19 pandemic is placing on all of us. Large family

gatherings are discouraged as a way to minimize the chances of spreading the virus. Smaller celebrations are being encouraged.

There are no set schedules or requirements for spending holidays with the children. Parents shouldn’t be afraid to adopt schedules that may seem unconventional if they fit with the children’s schedules, the parents’ new lives, and safety considerations.

What is required, however, is putting the children first. They didn’t ask for the divorce. Most likely they are upset by it.

Using the holidays and the children for leverage or to exact revenge on a spouse is cruel. By putting aside your anger for your children’s sake, you will increase the chances that the holidays will provide them with a welcome respite from your divorce. You may even enjoy the holidays more yourself.

Lunch Break Expansion Proposal Gains Red Bank Zoning Board Approval

Many in our community are facing hardship as a result of the COVID-19 economic fallout. Whether because of unemployment, underemployment, homelessness, or trying to survive on fixed incomes, the number of community members struggling with food and financial insecurities continues to escalate.

As Lunch Break endeavors to support the mounting requests from those seeking basic necessities and job skills training, a proposal to expand its current, overcrowded facility has recently won unanimous Zoning Board approval, a major step in a $12 million Last year, Lunch Break witnessed a sharp Capital Campaign. rise in demand for groceries, with an 111 percent increase in food pickups from 2019, and a 22 percent increase in visitors arriving for Continental breakfast and lunch, served six days a week, and Friday Community Dinners. The resource center sought this expansion to advance its mission to meet an unrelenting need.

“We are thrilled about the approval, which couldn’t come at a more appropriate time,” says Executive Director Gwendolyn Love.

“I believe the community wholeheartedly supports the work of our mission and because of this, we can look forward to a new home with space to offer more services for the well-being of our neighbors.”

The planned expansion of Lunch Break’s cramped quarters at 121 Drs. James Parker Blvd. in Red Bank will enable volunteers and staff to serve more people, more efficiently, and to more safely accept truck deliveries and individual donations.

To better accommodate Lunch Break services and new initiatives, including a pending merger with non-profit Family Promise of Monmouth County, as well more warehouse and operations space, the plans, prepared by architects Kellenyi Johnson Wagner, call for a two-story addition which, in total, will add 8,236 square feet to the

building’s original 5,080-foot design, providing for a loading dock and more space for truck parking and safer and easier off-loading of deliveries. The expansion would meet a dire need for space in all of Lunch Break’s daily operations, bringing the now off-site Life Skills Center into the main building.

Lunch Break freely provides food, clothing, social services, fellowship, and life skills to those struggling with financial insecurity as a path to well-being and self-sufficiency.

Ranney School student Charles Chropuvka ’22 of Red Bank made his college choice official on November 10 when he announced he will play baseball at the University of Delaware.

Chropuvka was the 2019 Shore Conference batting average leader. Last season, he had six home runs, 30 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases.

“When choosing a school to play baseball as well as study, University of Delaware felt like the perfect fit,” said Chropuvka. “Something clicked when I met with Coach Sherman and Coach Prachniak.

I believed in their vision and the future of the team. Those feelings were confirmed when I toured the state-of-the-art athletic facilities and campus. I am excited to study business and look forward to building success both on and off the field.”

“We are so proud of Charlie’s accomplishment of becoming the first player in Ranney Baseball history to move on to the NCA Division I level,” said Ranney Head Baseball Coach Pat Geroni. “This could not be more deserved and we look forward to hearing the noise he makes as a Blue Hen!”

“We are so proud to watch our student-athletes find the perfect fit to continue their academic and athletic journeys,” said Director of Athletics Natalie Gorman. “It has been a pleasure to watch Charlie excel at baseball and we will be rooting for him loudly as he continues to follow his passion as collegiate student-athletes!”

Garden Club of America Honored and Celebrated the Work of Millicent Mercer Johnsen

Members of Rumson Garden Club gathered for a riverside photo

More than 200 members of the Garden Club of America gathered at the Rumson Country Club Riverhouse this fall for the New Jersey Committee of the Garden Club of America (GCA)’s annual Lecture and Luncheon benefitting the Millicent Mercer Johnsen Summer Intern Scholarship Program. Co-hosted by Rumson Garden Club and Princeton Garden Club, this year’s event had special meaning for the Two River Community, as it celebrated and honored the work of Millicent Mercer Johnsen, a Rumson resident who passed away in 2013, served not only as Rumson Garden Club’s President from 1964 to 1967, but as the Garden Club of America’s President from 1983 to 1985, working with the 200 GCA Garden Clubs and its thousands of members across the country to achieve the goals of the GCA.

Johnsen established the New Jersey Committee of the GCA in

1987. She saw the advantage of the New Jersey GCA Clubs’ camaraderie and proximity and worked to support those clubs through grants for projects in their communities. To date, the “Growing Fund” has awarded more than $500,000 to projects across the state, including a recent grant which helped Rumson Garden Club establish an outdoor garden classroom at Monmouth Daycare Center.

In 1989 Johnsen established a summer intern scholarship fund of the NJ Committee, honoring students at Rutgers University in the fields of horticulture, plant sciences, the environment, and landscape design.

RFH Alumni, Education Foundation, and Community Members Honor Former George Griffin with Tree Planting Ceremony

This fall, a tree planting event to honor former educator, mentor, and advisor George Giffin was held at Rumson Fair Haven Regional High School. To unveil the tree and memorial marker, members of the George Giffin Memorial Fund, friends and former students, RFH Education Committee members, school administrators, Board of Education members, and Mr. Giffin’s family members gathered outside of the Math/Science Building on Forrest Avenue in Rumson.

Marcia Giffin, George’s wife and former English teacher at Knollwood School in Fair Haven, and Debra Giffin Schluter, George’s daughter and member of the RFH Class of ’79, removed the covering on the marker after Bill Davidson, Class of ’73, and Anne Facendo, Interim Superintendent of RFH, briefly spoke.

George Giffin taught at RFH for 35 years from 1956 to 1991.

He was the science department chair and founded the drill team.

According to his former students, “He made Biology fun, taught gawky 16-year-olds how to properly shoot a basketball, established the highly successful RFH Drill Team, opened the door for all to learn the joys of dancing, became a golf instructor, helped with all student governments and activities, and gently encouraged everyone to find their passion in life.” He was loved and admired by all who came into contact with him. His son David and daughter Debra both graduated from RFH.

The Steering Committee, made up of members from the RFH Class of 1973 (Bill Boyd, Bill Brinckerhoff, Ellen Duke Spears, Carol Culshaw Prince, Mauria Fitzgerald Ganther, Steve Farley, and Bill Davidson), partnered with the RFH Education Foundation to raise monies to create the George Giffin Memorial Fund (GGMF). To date, $82,000 has been raised. 196 friends and alumni from 32 graduating classes have generously made donations to the fund. The GGMF will help support grants to students, teachers, and administrators to fund those projects and interests for which Mr. Giffin had a passion.

RCDS 8th Graders Take the Lead at Annual Carnival

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

Attendees at the ceremony included former students, members of the GGMF Steering Committee from the Class of 1973, Mr. Giffin’s family, and members of the RFH Education Foundation.

RFH Education Foundation, led by Mary Pat Moriarty and Lanae Herman, made the Giffin Memorial Fund and tribute possible.

The granite memorial marker placed in front of the tree was donated by Uras Monuments of Middletown, NJ. The long leaf Linden tree was purchased through donations from Jeff Hugel and Bill Brinckerhoff, classmates from the RFH Class ’73.

Special thanks go to Stephen Barrett, Commission Chair of the Rumson Shade Tree Commission for his help in recommending a tree and site location.

The fund will remain open at rfhfoundation.org to receive future donations. The most recent donation received was a gift from the Class of 1970 following the celebration of their 50th Class Reunion.

The school year does not officially begin at The Rumson Country Day School (RCDS) without the buzz of its annual 8th Grade Carnival, a tradition that dates back to the seventies. Hosted by the graduating class this fall, the annual carnival served as an opportunity for students to step up as leaders of the school.

“The carnival means a lot to me,” said 13-year-old Brandon Maroney. “Especially considering that I’ve been here since Nursery.”

Brandon and his eighth-grade classmates took on the responsibility to conceptualize and operate the carnival booths, which ranged from a customary balloon pop to creative homemade games like splat the rat. “This is a tradition that I’ve participated in for so long,” he said.

“Now I’m running a booth instead of playing at it. We’re helping make the same memories for the next generations. That’s special.”

“The Carnival is the first opportunity our 8th grade has to put their class stamp on the school year,” said Head of the Upper School Bill Lamb. “Through their leadership, the entire school community, from our youngest students to parents and grandparents, come together for a shared experience.”

Funds raised from the carnival are allocated to the class gift – a contribution presented by the graduating class to recognize the school and leave behind a little piece of their class legacy. In the past, class gifts have included filtered ezH2O bottle filling stations, dining room tableware, and an outdoor classroom space.

Nine Christian Brothers Academy student-athletes will be playing their sport at the next level. Colts from three different sports celebrated their commitments to Division I institutions on November’s National Signing Day.

“On behalf of the entire CBA community, I would like to congratulate our student-athletes and their families on their commitment to play at the collegiate level,” said Director of Athletics Michael Mazzaccaro. “Over the past four years, these young men have led their brothers on and off the field. We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors and are forever grateful for their contributions to the Christian Brothers Academy family.”

The following CBA senior student-athletes committed during fall signing period: Hugh Straine (Bucknell Universaity, Track & Field), Tyler Mayerhoff (University of North Carolina, Track & Field), Robby Manse (U.S. Military Academy – West Point, Track

& Field), Colin Reilly (Tulane University, Baseball), Jack Frankovic (Lehigh University, Baseball), Shane Gazdus (Cornell University, Crew), Austin Straley (University of Pennsylvania, Crew), Ethan Wilson (College of the Holy Cross, Crew), and Nick Tapinis (Fairfield University, Crew).

Straine, Mayerhoff, and Manse were all members of the 2021 Non-Public A State Championship team last spring, playing a role as standout throwers in field events.

Gazdus, Straley, Wilson and Tapinis are members of CBA’s nationally-recognized crew team, which recently just returned from competing in Boston’s Head of the Charles Regatta – the largest rowing event in the world.

Frankovic and Reilly are poised to lead the Academy’s pitching staff when baseball gets underway this March.

Five cadets from the Marine Academy of Science and Technology (M.A.S.T) were chosen to participate in the christening of The USS New Jersey (SSW-796) as members of the color guard at the Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, VA on November 13.

The cadets chosen to present the Nation’s colors for the submarine’s christening were Dylan Agnese (Lincroft), Jack Arhanic (Fair Haven), Tessa Campolattaro (Rumson), Sam Puleio (Tinton Falls), and Brandon Weiss (Oceanport).

“We are so proud of the five cadets from M.A.S.T who presented the Nation’s colors during the christening of the USS New Jersey, a new Virginia Class attack submarine currently under construction,” said Monmouth County Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “This is a testament to the dedicated cadets that are attending M.A.S.T and this was an incredible

opportunity for them to honor our country.”

Dr. Susan DiMarco of Montclair, wife of former Secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, served as the USS New Jersey’s sponsor and performed the traditional honor of breaking a bottle of American sparkling wine across the submarine’s bow during the ceremony.

“M.A.S.T is a wonderful co-ed fouryear high school that is a part of the Monmouth County Vocational School District,” said Monmouth County Commissioner Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Vocational School District. “Cadets that attend M.A.S.T are enrolled in the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC), where they learn civics, physical fitness, naval skills, physical science and leadership techniques. We are incredibly proud of the cadets chosen for this honor.”

Rumson Mom on a Mission to Save Lives & Raise Awareness

By Jeanne Wall, Publisher and Editor TAPinto Holmdel, Colts Neck & Middletown

Maddy Massabni's mom, Dawn Massabni, is on a mission to save lives.

She wants to make sure that girls and women, and their families are aware of the symptoms and the life threat, of menstrual toxic shock syndrome (mTSS).

Dawn wants to prevent other mothers from having to watch their daughters die, the way she did. Dawn is working with elected officials on legislation to save lives.

It was March 2017, and Maddy, a freshman, studying fashion at Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL, was home to celebrate her birthday with her family in Rumson. She wasn't feeling so great on her birthday and felt like she had a stomach bug. A Rumson Fair Haven High School graduate of 2016, Maddy turned 19 on March 27, 2017.

Tragically, just three days later on March 30, 2017, Maddy was dead.

Dawn’s beautiful and otherwise healthy daughter’s life was suddenly taken by mTSS. It is a life-threatening, rapidly advancing infection that can present with the same symptoms of other ailments, like a stomach virus, or flu.

Maddy's death was 100% preventable had there been early medical intervention.

Maddy's mom Dawn comments as tears roll down her face, "I just want to hug her one more time, hear her laughter, see her coming through the front door. Maddy was so loving. She was beautiful inside and out, so caring, and she welcomed everyone. She was always such a happy child. She loved swimming and horses, soccer and lacrosse, Girl Scouts, dancing, basketball, snowboarding, cheerleading.

Growing up in Rumson, Maddy loved the water, the beach was her go-to. More than anything, my Maddy cared about people. I know she's working with me now hand-in-

hand to raise awareness and educate our youth about the symptoms of mTSS, so we can save lives together."

Dawn, as a bereaved mom is walking the most difficult journey imaginable.

However, the passion behind her mission is powerful. It takes strength for bereaved mothers to even get out of Maddy and Dawn Massabni bed in the morning, yet when they are on a mission for their child, that strength can take room for life-saving intervention." Dawn on a whole different super-human level.

Massabni speaks at colleges and medical Dawn and her son, Maddy's brother conventions, to raise awareness of mTSS. Georgie, have now dedicated their lives "Every day I wake up it's like my to spreading awareness and creating daughter dies all over again because it's impactful, legislative change around another day without her.
