It’s a Family Affair…

STORY LILIANN PARAS

Meet Doug Brown In this time of big box stores and conglomerates, there is something comforting about a company that is infused with family pride and longevity. The family business, Brown’s Heating and Cooling based in Little Silver has both, and is celebrating 40 years of success. Community Magazine learned there is a lot more to the company than just great service.

First there is the interesting career path Doug Brown has followed. His gentle demeanor and unusual introduction caught my attention. “Even though I always accompanied my dad on calls when I was little, I ended up going to art school and becoming a part-time pastor before turning my focus on Brown’s in 2006.” Doug graduated from seminary in New Brunswick and is an ordained minister for the United Church of Christ in Asbury Park, where he serves part time at the Asbury Park Community Church. His main career focus is at Brown’s, but his philosophical and artistic outlets are expressed through a combination of his love of art and study of world religions.

Doug described that he “thinks below the surface” and he has been digging deep into ways to understand and deal with recent world and local events. Doug shared, “I was struggling with, ‘How do I personally process this and still get through it whole and complete and healthy, without taking hate, or anger, or revenge with me?’” He became inspired to create a series of paintings using acrylic mixed media. “In this series I am focusing on world religions and discovering how humanity and the human condition are depicted, and how is it sacred and how is it human, all at the same time.” He is hoping to exhibit the series in local venues next year.

Knowing this background, Brown’s mission makes perfect sense. Doug explained, “Our mission was, and always will be, to treat our customers like friends and our employees like family (not the crazy family).” This tradition started in 1977 when “Brownie” and Joyce Brown, Doug’s parents, started the company with one truck, one phone and the den as headquarters.

“Because of this (mission), we have a dedicated staff of 30 employees and have clients who have been with Brown’s for 40 years. These are the kinds, of customers that have been around

since the days my dad would fix their oven, then sit down at their kitchen table with a cup of coffee, some cake and chat.”

A turning point came in 2002 when Brownie and Joyce Brown both passed away. Colts Neck resident Carolyn Brown, Doug’s sister, had been working in the family business since the early 1980s and since has become the president of the company.

Doug joined in 2006 to assist Carolyn. Not surprisingly, he most enjoys building relationships with the customers. Their sister Linda, also a Colts Neck resident, is a nurse and is not directly involved in the company.

From its inception, Brown’s always made a promise to be committed to the local community.

For over 30 years, Brown’s has supported the Officer Phil Child Safety Program for school age children. Closer to home, Brown’s supports an employee’s 17-year-old son, Logan, who battles leukemia, raising funds through the “Help Logan Kick Cancer’s Butt” event. Globally, Brown’s supports Sylvia’s Children, an organization founded by Sylvia Allen of Holmdel to support a school for orphans in Uganda, Africa teaching entrepreneurship to the students to allow the school to be selfsustaining. Carolyn sponsors five children and two are now in college in Africa. Doug traveled five summers with a group to Uganda and is deeply impressed with its accomplishments.

Doug eloquently summarized the essence of Brown’s. “From day one, it was Dad’s integrity that created Brown’s guarantee (back when a handshake was all it took to affirm that we’d stick by our word). As business grows, our complete 100% satisfaction guarantee still stands. We don’t view our customers as a dollar sign. We recognize that they’re people with families and bills to pay, too. We’re not a cookie-cutter company; we know many of our customers by name and by face. Knowing each customer has unique needs, we treat them with those unique needs in mind. We pride ourselves on integrity, loyalty, honesty, fairness, and quality.”

Brown’s Heating and Cooling is truly a family business to trust.

BALANCE – USE IT OR LOSE IT Did you ever walk across a log when you were a child or jump on one foot? Twirling around and balancing were frequently part of everyday play. However, as we get older these activities often become more difficult and bring us fear. Why does balance seem to become such a challenge as we get older?

As we hit thirty (yes thirty not sixty), our muscles in our legs gradually weaken. This often results in shorter strides and slower steps. Our vision changes so the ability to focus and see things clearly, diminishes. Cells that are part of our vestibular system, our balance center that detects where our body is in space, die off. As a result, we become more prone to dangerous falls as we age. The statistics are astounding. One in every three adults age 65 and older falls each year.

Every 29 minutes, an older adult dies following a fall. It’s no wonder many older adults are afraid of falling.

Avoiding falls means a longer life.

But the risk of falls and the need for balance training is relevant for all ages. My most significant injury

was from a fall in my twenties that occurred when I was doing lunges with heavy weights and lost my balance. I was training for strength and cardiovascular endurance but not balance. Balance is a “use it or lose it” proposition. You can maintain balance only if you stay active and specifically work to maintain or increase your stability and coordination.

Actions taken now can prevent falls later. And studies have shown that exercise is the single best intervention to prevent falls in older adults.

DID YOU KNOW? Health problems linked to hip fractures result in more women’s deaths per year than breast cancer.

Here are some ways to incorporate balance exercise into your fitness routine. Steady yourself with a wall or chair if you need a little extra support.

• See how long you can stand on one foot. Try holding for 10 seconds on each side.

• Put one foot directly in front of another. When you are steady turn your head to the left and then to the right.

• Walk heel to toe going forward for 10 steps and backward for 10 steps.

There are more athletic challenges, but it is wise to try those with a personal trainer or physical therapist who specializes in balance training.

For endurance athletes, balance training helps you run harder, bike longer, and swim stronger.

The bottom line is that physical activity that incorporates balance training not only prevents falls but also helps you achieve better athletic performance and live longer. However, for it to be effective it must be done correctly.

Train with someone who specializes in fall risks and fitness for the mature client and continue to live your life fully now and in the future.

In the coming months, I’ll be exploring additional topics related to aging and exercise and how to have more energy, power, strength and functional ability to do all the things you enjoy doing in your life.

I welcome your questions.

Get Schooled on How to Deal with Embarrassing School Scenarios I don’t think there is one parent out there who doesn’t want his or her child to be well liked, well-adjusted or well-read when heading back to school. But, most of us forget about the unexpected circumstances and social pressures that could interfere with our picture perfect portrayal of being a student. Remember the innocent pick of the nose or the embarrassing barf session in class? How about not being able to hold back those uncontrollable tears from a playground fight or being cut from a team? We’ve all had to manage the damage from our fair share of bad school days and now our children may face the same shame. That’s why it’s our parental duty to recognize these real-life “school-noyances” and teach our children how to cope with the embarrassing situations with confidence. Ellen Ashinoff, a Licensed Social Worker in private practice in Shrewsbury, gives tips to help guide parents and kids through some all too familiar back-to-school blunders.

1. Remain Patient Whether your eight-year-old miscalculated the amount of steps she had to take to get to the toilet or how many more minutes she had control over her bladder, accidents do happen. “You need lots of patience,” Ashinoff tells parents. “Be supportive and reassure your child, tell your child it happens to everyone sometimes - and come up with a plan to avoid embarrassment in the future. Maybe pack extra clothing and underwear in their backpack and come up with a schedule to use the bathroom frequently during the school day.” She also suggests seeking help if the problem is not an isolated incident.

2. Keep It Normal You just received a call from the school nurse to pick up your son be-

Can Home Automation Increase Your Property Value?

The benefits of home automation prove irresistible to many home buyers When deciding what upgrades will give you a return on your investment, home automation, often called “smart technology” or “smart home”, is quickly rising. Even if you are not currently looking to put your property on the market, the upgrades will be available for you to enjoy now and for new buyers when you do decide to sell your home.

The benefits of automation can make life easier for you, help you save money on utility bills and create a safe, secure home environment. With home automation and smart home gadgets, you can stay connected to your home no matter where you are. You can control temperature, climate, lighting, outdoor sprinklers, appliances, locks, security devices and monitors from a single device, usually a smartphone or tablet.

These benefits prove irresistible to many home buyers.

Another great aspect of incorporating a home automation system into your house is that it will not only help you sell your home quickly, but it will also increase the overall market value.

The surveys show most will pay more for homes integrated with smart accessories. These systems can increase the value by a substantial 3-7 percent, sometimes even more.

Below are a few more statistics that show why smart home technology is important to different home buyers.

• Safety is the highest motivating factor to purchase smart home tech.

• Nearly 68 percent of homeowners want smart tech to become more energy efficient.

• Millennials desire smart tech to make their lives more convenient.

The Local Mala Project Announces Beneficiary For 2017

Christian Valeriani and The Local Mala Project announced that proceeds of The 2017 Local Mala Project will be donated to Impact 100 Jersey Coast, a philanthropic women’s group that provides grants to local organizations serving Monmouth County. The Local Mala Project will be held in Asbury Park on the boardwalk (at 4th Avenue) on September 17, 2017 at 9:00 a.m.

The decision to choose Impact as the beneficiary was simple, as founder and owner of EvenFlow Yoga in Red Bank Christian Valeriani states, “We chose to donate to Impact 100 Jersey Coast for many reasons: the drive, passion and service orientation of their founders and executive team surpass all expectations; the selection process that Impact 100 Jersey Coast uses to distribute the funds they generate is fair, accurate and culturally synergistic to what we represent; and finally, the members of Impact 100 Jersey Coast are humble and genuine women who are invested in making a change in our local community and the underserved population in Monmouth County.”

The Local Mala Project is a byproduct of The Global Mala Project, uniting yoga, service and collective action. The purpose of The Local Mala Project is to bring our local community together through collective practices based upon the sacred cycle of 108 Sun Salutations. Through collective meditation and practice, we contribute to the yoga world’s offering of peace to further the Fall Equinox and the UN International Peace Day on September 21, 2017.

Living Well SEE AMERICA FIRST As Malcolm Forbes once said, “Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.” As many of us prepare for back to school adventures, I’m reminded of an outdoor classroom experience shared with friends this summer. The following are a few things we learned in the wild west wilderness this year.

We hiked the Crown Jewel of the Continent, Glacier National Park. Established in 1910, this iconic beauty is our country’s 10th named national park rich with glacier carved perfect peaks, turquoise and emerald lakes and rich wildlife. The park is comprised of 1600 square miles and showcases much of its beauty by traveling the Going-To-The-Sun-Road. This twisting and sometimes terrorizing ride hugs deep gorges and hair pin turns.

Students of all ages enjoy (or not!) 50 miles of winding wonder over the continental divide with breathtaking views and vertical vistas.

Lifelong learners climb 6,640 feet to the top of Logan’s Pass to trek alongside long bearded mountain goats grazing on snowy patches of ice in July. When’s the last time you caught sight of a pair of big horned rams? Every step in this classroom was a new experience.

We learned that Glacier National Park is linked with Canada’s Waterton Lakes National Park which created the world’s first International Peace Park. In 1995, this Peace Park became recognized as a World Heritage Site that showcases grizzly bears, wolves, lynx, bull trout and bison. The park maintains 71 species of mammals, 24 species of fish and symbolizes hope and a vision of unity for all. Visitors from around the globe converge with nature to celebrate the wonder of creation. We shared a shuttle with nature

enthusiasts from Germany, Australia, Canada and the Canary Islands as we learned about more than 730 miles of hiking trails and climb options of over 10,000 feet skyward.

We rode horses most days to frame our western adventure.

Taking a class in the great outdoors Montana-style included bison burgers, big sky BBQs, chuck wagons and swooning cowboys telling tales of living on the range. Our fourth generation rancher and his team of wranglers made sure we agreed with Franklin Delano Roosevelt who once said, “There’s nothing more American than visiting our parks.” We couldn’t agree more. Keep your return to school learning adventurous and live well!

Tania Goodman “Knows Her Stuff” All who own a home know the great amount of time, money and energy it entails.

Whether you are making an exterior modification to enhance your home’s curb appeal, or are investing in a needed repair, it is good news that Majestic Exteriors is a local company ready to ease the process. Majestic Exteriors is owned and operated by Colts Neck residents, Alan and Tania Goodman for over twenty years, and has served thousands of satisfied customers. The Goodmans are passionate about their business and are very “hands-on”--active on all job sites to ensure high quality craftsmanship and to keep the lines of communication open.

Tania is the president and sales person but early on, she and Alan worked on the roofs together. This work experience is invaluable when explaining the projects to customers.

Tania is accustomed to the surprised look from many customers when they realize a woman has arrived to sell them a roof, but they are quickly impressed with her depth of knowledge and the initial shock turns into sales. Alan runs production and notes that their competitors must hate seeing Majestic’s trucks in driveways, because “they can’t bring the level of professionalism we bring.” Alan and Tania are proud of Majestic’s solid reputation and are serious about their mission to surpass expectations. They credit their success to attention to detail, quality installation, and good communication throughout the project and afterwards too. Majestic earns top manufacturer accreditations and certifications, allowing it to offer the most comprehensive warranty in the business. There is also a full time service department to deal with any small issues that may arise after installation.

Be sure to stop in the beautiful showroom in Colts Neck and meet the Goodmans. You can learn more about the renovations and read reviews from customers at www.majesticrenovations.com.

other states never actually materialized.

Now the bar is a bit higher. The custodial parent must now prove that the move would be in the child’s best interests. It is no longer enough to prove that the move wouldn’t hurt the child. The custodial parent must now prove that the move would actually benefit the child compared to remaining in New Jersey. The burden is greater and the proofs needed to sustain it are more substantial. Of course, none of this means that all removal requests are doomed to fail. They are not.

And, in many cases, they will still be successful. It may just require more work and more evidence.

Red Bank CROP Hunger Walk Slated for October 15th!

In 1979, the first CROP event in the Red Bank area was a small band of people, organized by Rev. David Muyskens, Shrewsbury Presbyterian pastor, who cleaned up the beach and raised over $3,000. In 1980, they held a volley-ball-athon. Then in 1981, the First Red Bank CROP Walk was organized by Sarah and Len Dunikowski from Tower Hill Presbyterian Church, 15 churches participated, raising $6,127.

The 37th annual Red Bank CROP Hunger Walk, the largest all volunteer CROP Hunger walk in the nation, will be held on Sunday, October 15, 2017 at Red Bank Regional High School with registration at 1:00 p.m. and the walk starting at 2:00 p.m.

Red Bank CROP Hunger Walk is a 5-Mile Walk to raise funds to support local programs in Monmouth County, New Jersey, and global programs around the world. Join your friends, family and neighbors as we walk to end hunger one step at a time!

Tethering/Chaining Restrictions Put in Place Provided by Kathleen Schatzmann NJ State Council Director | The Humane Society of the United States

In February 2016, I wrote a piece on the chaining/tethering of dogs and how this is both an animal welfare and human safety issue.

In most cases, tethers are used for short stretches of time, but a small number of dog owners tether their dogs constantly or for many hours at a time. In addition to animal welfare concerns, tethering has been proven to be a high risk factor in serious dog bites and attacks. Tethering is unsafe for dogs and for the public, and it is important for advocates and officials to understand this connection, so they can incorporate tethering regulations into effective community dog management strategies.

I am happy to report that New Jersey State Senators Jeff Van Drew, Jim Holzapfel, and Robert Singer recognized this as a serious issue and put forth a sweeping companion animal protection bill restricting tethering/

chaining of dogs and stipulating what proper care and shelter is for animals. Our incredibly humane New Jersey legislature agreed with this principle as did Governor Christie who recently signed the measure into law.

Under the new law, it is unlawful to expose any pet or service animal to adverse weather conditions, unless the animal has continuous access to proper shelter. It also makes it unlawful to cruelly restrain a dog. In addition, the law provides that when state or local officials issue an order of evacuation due to weather or other emergency conditions, the owner must make every attempt to evacuate their pets and not leave their animals indoors or outdoors while unattended or tethered.

We applaud the introduction and passage of this desperately needed measure to ensure companion animals are entitled to proper shelter and treatment while outdoors. Thanks

to our elected officials and the broad coalition of NJ animal protection advocates, our state will no longer tolerate innocent animals who deserve responsible human stewardship being left out to suffer or even die in the elements.

The HSUS recommends a combination of approaches to reduce tethering. Laws that regulate and restrict tethering are incredibly helpful, but may not always be the only approach. Enforcement agencies are notoriously underfunded and limited in their bandwidth. Community-based initiatives to support dog owners and unchain dogs through positive intervention and education is also effective.

Should that not work, now New Jersey law enforcement has what it needs to protect animals from irresponsible pet owners.

CPC hosted its “Bermuda Nights” Benefit on July 28, 2017 at Navesink Country Club in Middletown, and successfully raised funds for important services throughout Monmouth County.

The event was full of enthusiastic supporters taking part in the Wine Wheel, multiple gift auctions and listening and dancing to Bobby Bandiera.

Co-chairs of the event, Tom Duffy, CFP of Oceanport and Marie Noglows of Fair Haven expressed their gratitude to everyone who came out to benefit CPC and that they were “honored to lead this important effort to raise funds to provide counseling services that will give people in our community an opportunity for hope and recovery.”

The night honored the important community achievements of both businesses and individuals, including Raymond Eckhoff, Rumson; Cowan, Gunteski & Co., P.A., Tinton Falls and Toms River; Two River Community Bank, Tinton Falls; and Lori and Jim Romer,

Howell. All the honorees humbly accepted the well-deserved recognition and reinforced the importance of CPC’s mission is helping the community.

Ray Eckhoff, recipient of the “Community Service Award” and Chair-Elect of CPC’s Board of Trustees spoke about the responsibility of the public to come out and support important causes.

Ray spoke of his own early involvement with local non-profit organizations and realizing that it was his duty to step up and help organizations like CPC provide vital services to the community.

The evening also honored four long-time Trustees for over a century of collective service, some beginning at the very inception of CPC. Lois Broder, Shrewsbury; Alfred Ferguson, Rumson; A. Van. R. Halsey, Rumson; and Bruce Larsen, Ph.D., Point Pleasant, were recognized and thanked for their many years of commitment and dedication.

CALLING ALL RUMSON, FAIR HAVEN, LITTLE SILVER & SHREWSBURY FOOTBALL PLAYERS! Local Charity Flag Football Tournament to Benefit Lunch Break This November 24, 2017 at Count Basie Field in Red Bank will mark the 16th consecutive “Black Friday” where Little Silver and Shrewsbury residents will square off in a flag football match, formerly known as “The White Road Cup”. The game had always been played on White Road in Little Silver where Red Bank Catholic football practices, which happened to be the border of the two towns. What started in 2002 as a pick-up event amongst a few friends, has now grown into a colossal community fundraiser helping to tackle hunger with Lunch Break as its sole benefactor. In recent years, the participants have raised over $25,000 and donated trucks full of clothing and non-perishable goods to those in need.

Over the years, the event has expanded by offering more and more flag football games to children, men and ladies who want to represent their town and support a great cause. Hundreds of players from all ages and skill sets come out for the fun every year. This November, the event will have doubled! What used to be a one-game match-up for all the age groups between Little Silver and Shrewsbury, with a winner declared for each game, has now become a four town tournament called, “The Rivalry Series”, which will include a Fair Haven vs. Rumson match-up for all ages.

36

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

The winner of Little Silver vs. Shrewsbury and winner of Fair Haven vs. Rumson first-round games will play immediately after in a ‘peninsula playoff’ championship game. The losers of the first-round games will play in a consolation game as well, providing everyone with two games.

The event founder and organizer Rick Brandt said, “Amongst the four towns, everyone knows that there are friendly rivalries between us all, which makes for the exciting match-ups, and regardless of who hoists the trophy at the end, the true winner of the event is Lunch Break who helps those in need by providing food, clothing and fellowship!” Brandt went on to say, “I am so confident in adding the Fair Haven vs. Rumson component to the tradition because of the excellent football pride those two families have.”

Registration for the event is now open and the organizers are actively seeking sponsorships from families and businesses. All of the proceeds go to Lunch Break. Those interested in playing can register today for $100 each at www.TheRivalrySeries.com.

Personalized, custom town jerseys with each player’s last name on them will be provided to every player! There will also be an after party at Val’s Tavern in Rumson featuring The Haven for all families! If there are questions about the event, or if you would like to sponsor the event, you can call or email RickBrandt80@gmail.com or 908.675.7646.

Three Time’s A Charm Story: DonnaLyn Giegerich

There is a general rule that human brains absorb and recall information most effectively when presented in threes. Ask any speech writer, musician or corporate trainer to validate this notion. When concepts and ideas are chunked in buckets of three, audiences are more engaged and facts are more memorable. Tracey Wolfman RN, MA is busy leveraging the power of three and has a wide and captive audience. There is no irony lost on the fact that she’s making memorable changes in the world of deteriorating minds.

Alzheimers disease causes premature senility. In 2017, 5.5 million people in the US were managing this epidemic of the aging. Every 66 seconds, another patient is diagnosed with Alzheimers and 1 in 3 seniors die of the disease. By 2050, it is estimated that 16 million people will have Alzheimers at a wearying cost of 1.1 trillion dollars. Many consider Alzheimer’s disease to be a crisis since it is the only top ten cause of death that cannot be prevented, cured or slowed.

Here are three ways Tracey Wolfman is helping to change that landscape: 1. She teaches nursing students at Monmouth University how to care for an aging population with a specialty in Alzheimers and dementia.

2. She empowers caretakers to skirt compassion fatigue by providing resources and programming to help Monmouth County caregivers alleviate stress.

3. She advocates for Alzheimer’s patients and their families as an awardwinning entrepreneur and activist at We Care Day Care, Inc. in Middletown.

Tracey’s devotion to the senior market is fueled by her earliest and fond memories of her grandparents.

Today, she’s standing on the edge of the “silver tsunami” sharing her time and talent to reframe what’s possible on the precipice of this epic tidal wave. Tracey is equipped with an RN in Nursing from Monmouth

38

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE

University and a Master’s in Nursing Administration from Columbia University. Today, she is the CEO and champion change maker at We Care Day Care, Inc., delivering quality and affordable day care for seniors for eighteen years. Her work revolves around three key roles as a nurse, speaker/educator and entrepreneur.

The intersection of these three talents converge to provide quality of life solutions for all stakeholders. Her passion for the senior market has always been fueled by her belief that the continuum of care could and should be dramatically improved. It’s been her life mission to achieve exactly that and she’s getting results with her terrific team of dedicated professionals.

In addition to her demanding daily obligations, Tracey finds time to serve as a board of director at the state’s Alzheimer’s of NJ organization and SCAN (Senior Community Activity Network). She speaks upon request on topics trending in senior care.

She’s currently busy preparing for a full fall programming schedule by supporting the Walk to Fight Alzheimers at the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk on Saturday, September 23, 2017. Her team at We Care Day Care, Inc. is hosting its fourth annual “Score a Strike for Alzheimers” bowlathon at Shore Lanes in Neptune on Friday, September 15, 2017. Corporate and lane sponsorships are still available for this sold out event by calling 732.741.7363.

Tracey understands the importance

CommunityMagazineNJ.com

of self-care to source long term effectiveness for her endeavors. To reduce stress and enjoy life outside the intensity of her work, she celebrates the great outdoors in three adventuring ways. You’ll find her enjoying the jersey shore on horseback, by bike or by dining at an area eatery with friends and family. Imagining a world without Alzheimers takes great vision and constant work. Until then, you can find Tracey chasing technology, training her staff, or visiting with clients to deliver the full continuum of care.

All of the above requires volumes of large heartedness but Tracy is up to the task three steps at a time. As Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Learn more about Tracey and her team at www. wecareadultcare.com, where “We Care” is not just their name, it’s their promise.

It’s your career. Master it.

Hollywood Meets Red Bank

At 2nd Annual

Monmouth

Film Festival PHOTO CREDIT DANIEL BUCKLEY

The 2017 Monmouth Film Festival Industry Panel

Audiences and artists traveled from all regions of the globe to attend the 2nd Annual Monmouth Film Festival (MFF) on an August weekend, at Red Bank’s Two River Theater. The weekend was filled with excited and passionate film lovers and filmmakers nearly tripling last year’s attendance to the inaugural festival.

The 2nd Annual Festival began with an energetic weekend kick off - the 2017 Filmmaker Networking Event. The gourmet catered event consisted of local favorites and regional delights, while the eclectic atmosphere filled with a steady stream of artists, press, and filmmakers indulged in the evening. The annual Red Carpet walk began, honoring this year’s featured filmmakers, transforming Red Bank into a Hollywood Premiere! The buzz of excitement spread as cameras flashed and previews of the weekend’s quality films screened in the backdrop. Industry members mingled, answering questions and talking shop - whether the topic was talent management, directing, writing, acting, producing, etc. - all left with a renewed sense of confidence and optimism. Featured Industry giants present at the event included the New York Film Academy, Backstage, The NJ Motion Picture Commission, JMR Rentals, and FACES. The festival hosted screenings of 39 short films, five feature films, and four film trailers. The films were selected from local, national, and global communities - including Poland, South Korea, Italy, and more! Awardwinning feature films included the soon to be wide released “Lemon”directed by Janicza Bravo starring Brett Gelman, Michael Cera, Judy Greer and Nia Long; “Window Horses” directed by Ann Marie Fleming featuring Sandra Oh and Ellen Page; and “The Blood is at the Doorstep” directed by Erik Ljung, a documentary detailing the chronological events surrounding the shooting of Dontre Hamilton by a Milwaukee Police Officer. Also featured

was the New Jersey Festival Premiere of “Shooting Clerks”, the biographical drama detailing how Kevin Smith bankrolled his $27,000 first film with maxed-out credit cards and garnered career-making critical attention at the Sundance Film Festival when Clerks debuted there in 1994. The screening was accompanied by an exclusive Q&A featuring special guests, including Robert Hawk and Brian O’Halloran.

Monmouth Film Festival’s mission as a non-profit organization is to promote and connect independent filmmakers of all levels and industry professionals involved in all areas of the film industry, as well as give the filmmakers and their work the respect and high-quality screening atmosphere they rightly deserve. Filmmakers traveled from Seattle, California, Florida, and Europe, and were not disappointed as the festival ensured a first class event - a stand out amongst most festivals and equal to the major events, local and abroad.

The success and excitement was a cumulative overview of the Festival’s schedule - taking into account the Networking Event, Exclusive MFF Filmmaker-VIP Lounge, and screening in one state-of-the-art venue filmmakers had taken advantage of the multitude of opportunities to interact with, not only each other but the esteemed guests and professionals who made up the Industry Panel.

The 90-minute Industry Film Panel, took place on August 12th on the Two River main-stage, was comprised of moderator Bryan DeNovellis (nine time Emmy nominated Anchorman), David Schoner (NJ Film Commission), Taimak (The Last Dragon), John R.

The Retirement Challenge With the increase in life expectancy age, there is a very good chance that retirees will require income for longer than they anticipate, and many are unprepared for this.

The median retirement savings for individuals ages 55-64 is just over $100,000, which translates to roughly $4,000 in annual spending (per the Government Accountability Office).

The future of Social Security benefits is uncertain, and with fewer guaranteed pensions, the financial responsibility of saving for retirement has shifted to the individual.

These issues have resulted in many employees being unable to retire on time.

Inaugural

Shave a Hero/Save a Hero Raised

Funds

for

Childhood

Cancer

Research

Story: Susan Murphy | Photos: A Guy + A Girl Photography

nfinite Love and the Middletown Fire Department coordinated their efforts and held the first annual Shave a Hero/Save a Hero fundraising event on July 29, 2017 at Community Fire Station #4 in Leonardo. Besides the shaving portion of the event, there was a DJ, balloon artist, face painting, raffle baskets, and food, as well as cakes, plants and jewelry for sale. A Dunk Tank was available and children enjoyed dunking the firefighters. An estimated 400-500 people attended throughout the four-hour event and at least 70 heads were shaved. Andrea Verdone Gorsegner, founder of Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer, said the event raised over $40,000 for childhood cancer research. “Thanks to our shavees, our volunteers, sponsors and the community, our 1st annual Shave a Hero/Save a Hero event was more successful then we had imagined.”

Six professional hair stylists volunteered to do the shaving, including Mr. Bill Verdone, and some of the Middletown Firefighters. Police, fire and first aid representatives

BEFORE

from Keansburg, Fair Haven, Holmdel, Little Silver, Long Branch, Union Beach, Highlands, South Amboy and Howell volunteered to be shaved. Six principals from Middletown Schools also participated. Three of them had asked students to donate a dollar to Infinite Love, which meant their name was put in a drawing and the winning student got to shave their Principal’s head! Some childhood cancer survivors also shaved a few of the firefighters’ heads, including Amelia Carter, a ewing sarcoma survivor who shaved her

dad Jason’s head. Children as young as three allowed themselves to be shaved, as well as men from 20 through 60. Gorsegner noted that one woman shaved her head completely bald and a little girl allowed her ponytail to be cut off.

Gorsegner, who has had waist-length hair for most of her life, fought an initial nervousness at having her head completely shaved, (see below). Her daughter Natalie, who will be eight in September and who has been cancer free since November 2014, shaved her mother’s head. Daughter Hannah,

who shaved her head for the fourth year in a row, held her mother’s hand during the shave. “All I could think about during the shaving were the thousands of kids currently in treatment who have NO choice in losing their hair. How, not only do they lose the hair on the top of their heads, but they lose their eyebrows and eyelashes as well. For me I come out of this looking as if I have a trendy haircut, for these kids it’s the complete opposite, it’s traumatic and it’s lonely. There is nothing that is brave about what I did. For me it was about raising awareness and money for pediatric cancer research. These kids are the brave ones and quite honestly, most of them probably wish that they didn’t have to be so brave to begin with,” said Gorsegner.

The idea for this event came from John Waltz, 1st Lieutenant Community Fire Company Station 4 and Ryan Clarke, Deputy Chief Middletown Township Fire Department noted Gorsegner. They felt it was a means of raising money for Infinite Love and honoring six-year-old Mia McCaffrey, who starred in the video “Fighter” filmed last year at the Leonardo Fire House. Both firefighters appeared in the video. Young Mia passed away this past March 17 from parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma. “Every year Infinite Love chooses a different form of childhood cancer to focus our fundraising on, and for 2017 our goal is to raise $200,000 for parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma research in Mia’s name,” said Gorsegner. The song “Fighter” was written and performed by Taylor Tote along with Natalie Grace and Hannah Rose Gorsegner.

Taylor Tote, who has become a close family friend of the Gorsegners, stopped in at the event to cheer everyone on.

Alexander Dunlop A Life Coach Who is a True Magician, reaches Amazon Best Seller List with his book, Play Your Cards Right: A Sacred Guide To Life On Earth

Alexander Dunlop reaches #1 in Amazon’s Hot New Releases Category with his book, Play Your Cards Right: A Sacred Guide To Life On Earth.

Alexander is a Harvard graduate and former Wall Street consultant who went on a personal quest to find the meaning of his life.

After attending Jesuit seminary, becoming a Swami in India, and apprenticing to Indigenous Shamans, he found the purpose of his life, much to his surprise, in an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards.

“The deck of playing cards is actually a timeless book of knowledge that was hidden in plain sight,” says Alexander Dunlop. “It reveals the mathematical structure of the quantum field in which we live. And, it’s at least 7,000 years old.”

“According to this timeless knowledge, based on our date of birth, each person has 13 cards to play for life. These cards form our Sacred Blueprint.

And once we know this,” Alexander continues, “then we have the awareness to make clear, confident decisions in life. It offers us a direct pathway to more fulfilling work, happier relationships, and authentic self-expression.”

Here’s what Peter Roth, Director of the Heart River Center, has to say, “In his soul-affirming book, Alexander beautifully describes our unique journeys…

He has brought these cards to life, revealing their extraordinary truth.”

And this is what some of Alexander’s clients had to say about the book.

Kelly A. Connor, founder of LumiNation Magazine, writes, “In Play Your Cards Right, Alexander shares game-changing wisdom for mastering Cupid’s game.” “This book is a must-read for business leaders…” says Marty Katz, managing partner of the Stratist Group.

Ten outstanding young professionals have been named 2017 recipients of the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore’s award for Phenomenal Women Under 40, sponsored by BlueClaws Charities. The award, better known as the Phenom Award, honors emerging, young, female leaders under the age of 40 from Monmouth and Ocean counties. It not only recognizes professional women for who they are, but also the potential for what they might achieve in their futures.

“When our Girl Scouts look to the community for role models, we want to show them young women professionals who are making a difference today,” said Susan H.
