PUBLICATION TEAM

Happy Thanksgiving from our families to yours! We are excited to bring you our November 2019 edition of Little Silver Neighbors after having our 2nd year anniversary issue “The Fiction Issue” come together so well last month! In the spirit of giving thanks I would like to personally thank everyone who contributed to the fiction issue with their submissions and especially thank our wonderful editor Allison for putting everything together. The colder weather has finally found us, but we have plenty of wonderful stories from the community to curl up under a blanket, or by the fire with this month! First our resident feature family the Bairds, they have a terrific story to share. I was fortunate enough to meet with Beverly in person a few months back to have a conversation and learn about her business Wisdom Tree Yoga & Healing Arts. She is full of passion and knowledge about her work, and I hope many of you will be able to say hello as well around town! Our amazing local contributor Billie McNally’s column “Adventures in Serendipity” has a profile on Principal Julius Clark for our November issue. A special thank you to Billie for enriching our publication with each of your columns, we are grateful! Look out for our expert contributor sponsors from Salon Jenae and Atlantic Pediatric Dentistry sharing with us some great articles in their respective fields. In addition, this issue will see a new page we have crafted with some town announcements all in one place for the latest in Little Silver happenings: the Environmental Commission’s Nature Trail Clean-up, EFLS Kickoff Celebration recap, and news from the Garden Club and Women’s Club. One last thank you in closing goes out to the sponsoring businesses that make this magazine possible every month! We have in this issue a new expert contributor sponsor that is a Little Silver resident from Tonneman & Connors LLC who I am very happy to welcome to the publication. Until next time readers, I wish you a wonderful November!

still have friends here. It’s just a wonderful place to live and Little Silver particularly has a very nice small-town feel where everybody knows each other and looks out for each other.” Beverly moved to Monmouth County in 1965 and, except for a brief period in the 80s, has lived in this area for most of her life. Her father served as pastor at numerous local churches, including Red Bank United Methodist. She lived in Little Silver for a short time in the late 70s but raised her children in Shrewsbury. Beverly and both of her children attended RBR. For the two of them, Monmouth County has always been home. “It’s just a beautiful, wonderful place to live,” Beverly said. “I have lived in Atlantic Highlands as a child with all the trees that are there. Most of my adult life has been here and in my first marriage, after our children were born, we were living in Piscataway at the time, and it just wasn’t a wonderful to live in at the time as it was here. So, when my children were very small, we moved back to this area. It’s just home, it’s just familiar to people who are friendly, with that small-town feel.” The Baird family have made the most of their time together, living each day doing the things that they love and enjoying the place they live. Both are avid readers and library

reathe in. Breathe out. For many people practicing yoga brings peace and healing to their lives. For Beverly and Glen Baird, it brought them love. “In the fall of 2013, I was married, and my wife was diagnosed with brain cancer,” Glen shared. “And over the weeks, I started to visit the Presbyterian Church in Shrewsbury looking for comfort or direction.” Months passed and the stress increased. The summer of 2014 he had reached his breaking point. He was encouraged to take a yoga class offered at the church. By the following January, his wife had passed, drawing him to the church more frequently. It was at one of the church activities that he recognized his yoga teacher from more than a year prior.

“She had just been divorced and I had just been widowed, and we began sharing sob stories together,” Glen said. “We were talking and meeting for coffee, and next thing you know I was married to the yoga teacher.” The two officially met in 2015 and married in 2017. “We have been through all the hard stuff,” Glen said. “We know that we can lose anything in a heartbeat and so we just take it one day at a time. In our marriage we have a lot of communication. We talk about everything and we laugh a lot.” “The laughter is really important and we have a golden retriever, so that tells you something,” Beverly added. “The importance of laughing each day is finding the joy in each day. I think because of the difficulties we’ve both

been through, having that appreciation where there’s a good day is really blessed. Blessed by the place that we live, blessed by our family and friends, blessed by the church.” Early in their relationship the Bairds started a tradition of sharing at dinner time the things and people for which they are grateful. They constantly feel blessed to live in this area and be surrounded by its beauty and all it has to offer. Their family motto is to take time to count your blessings every day. Both have lived in Monmouth country throughout different times in their lives. Glen grew up in Rumson and moved back to Little Silver with his first wife eight years ago to retire. “We like the access to the water and the lifestyle. I wanted to stay because I have friends here. I grew up here and I Little Silver Neighbors

enthusiasts. Glen plays guitar and enjoys watching baseball, college football, and tennis on TV. Beverly enjoys doing counted cross stitch, walking, gardening, and travel. Both are very involved in their church, where they both serve as deacons and on various committees. Beverly retired from 20 years of teaching at Wolf Hill Elementary School in Oceanport last year. She is a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT, RYT500) and owner of Wisdom Tree Yoga & Healing Arts, LLC since 2010. She also teaches yoga classes for adults 50+ at the Presbyterian Church in Shrewsbury, where she initially met Glen. She specializes in gentle, accessible yoga for individuals with arthritis and back pain as well as individuals seeking to manage stress and improve their bone health, mobility, balance, and wellbeing. Beverly began yoga more than 30 years ago at a local high school and then the Red Bank YMCA. It wasn’t until 2009, just shortly after she had gone through breast cancer treatment, that she decided to become certified as a yoga teacher. “I was at a point in my life where what teachers were offering in my classes often didn’t meet my needs and my body just couldn’t move that way, especially after the cancer treatment. And so, I was looking I think to share what I had learned but also find ways to help people

who don’t normally think of yoga as something they can do and making it available to them.” Beverly focuses teaching for adults 50 and older because she recognizes the benefits that help with the quality of life. “As a yoga therapist, I work one-on-one with individuals to empower them to nurture their own physical, mental, and spiritual development by accessing their innate inner wisdom through skillful, intelligent, research-driven instruction in the practices of yoga. I believe that knowledge is power: the more we know about our bodies and minds, the better able we are to make decisions about our health and wellbeing and joyfully engage in the activities that bring meaning and satisfaction in life.” Together Beverly and Glen are finding ways to embrace their health and wellbeing. Each day they talk, laugh, and love. Just like the calming effect of a deep meaningful breath, they savor moments and live day by day. Just breathe in. And breathe out.

NOTABLE NOVEMBER By Chelsea Scott Notable Days in November With October in the rearview mirror and December holidays coming up around the next turn, sometimes we can tend to rush through November. Christmas and December holiday shopping seem to start earlier and earlier, making it easy to glaze over important days in November. Let’s take a minute to pause and remember these noteworthy days, why they are important and the history behind them. Veterans Day Veterans Day is a time to honor all our military veterans— living and dead—who served in both peace and wartime. If there is a parade in your area, gather up the family and head out to support. You could also support our veterans by patronizing veteran-owned businesses, dropping a card or letter to a veteran, or wearing a red poppy. The American Legion distributes red crepe paper poppies that have been handmade by veterans. Give them a call to see if you can get one. Veterans Day used to be known as Armistice Day, as November 11, 1919 marked the first anniversary of the end of WWI. In 1954, the holiday was officially changed to Veterans Day by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Thanksgiving Finally, Thanksgiving Day, when we give thanks for the blessings and bounty in our lives. It always falls on the fourth Thursday in November and is based on the 1621 pilgrims’ harvest meal. Typical Thanksgiving fare nowadays includes roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, bread, cranberries, green bean casserole, and pies. These modern table spreads have evolved since the first Thanksgiving menu, which included waterfowl, seafood (like lobster and clams), duck, goose, venison, berries, squash and pumpkin. Overall, though, our meals are not so different from that first feast. It is tradition to celebrate Thanksgiving with family members and loved ones, but don’t forget those who might not have somewhere to go. One year, my dad invited a gentleman over who was new to town (he was from Texas) and wasn’t able to travel home to be with family. We reminisce about “Tex” often, and how much turkey he was able to eat! Here’s to veterans, friends and family, kindness, and a thankful heart. Happy November!

hat would you say if I told you that your dentist was armed with a dental material that he/she could apply to your teeth that would protect them from getting cavities? Some people wouldn’t believe it could be done. Others would ask how soon they could get an appointment for this procedure. I am here to tell you that it does exist, and dental sealants have been effectively fighting decay for years. This minor dental procedure is a practical way that may prevent you or your child from needing more time in the dental chair. Sealants have been used in the practice of dentistry for several decades, and are an extremely effective way to reduce decay on the biting surfaces of posterior teeth (a.k.a. your molars). Molars have a number of deep grooves, pits, and fissures which act as physical traps for plaque, food debris, and the bacteria that cause decay. When these items are able to sit on the tooth’s surface for extended periods of time, that is when the decay process begins and tooth structure gets destroyed. The application of sealant material on a healthy tooth creates a long term barrier, blocking debris and creating a smooth surface for things to easily slide away. That is why it is traditionally recommended for unaffected teeth with sound enamel. Once a tooth has received a restoration that incorporates the biting surface, a sealants effectiveness decreases and may not longer be appropriate. Sealant application is extremely easy and tolerated well by most patients. The procedure can be completed in about 15 minutes with a well-trained practitioner, and the patient is able to eat and drink as soon

as they leave the office. Patients often say that the materials do have an odd taste, but it is quickly remedied by a quick sip of water. There is also a feeling that the teeth are “high” or “uneven” for the first 12 to 24 hours, as the body/brain gets used to this change. There are a variety of sealants types, and each practitioner uses the type that they are most comfortable with. There have been may concerns regarding the BPA levels in sealant materials in the recent past. These levels are negligible in most sealant products, and are removed entirely from others. The ‘ice-skating rink’ effect that sealants provide is especially beneficial for those that have particularly deep grooves, or are unable/unwilling to practice adequate oral hygiene. Pediatric dentists have been using sealant material in our practices for years. Our patients are primarily young children, teens, and special-needs adults that have inconsistent or developing oral hygiene habits. We recommend the placement of sealants on all permanent molars to aide these individuals in maintaining excellent oral health, while the hygiene practices and habits improve. Studies have shown a 73% reduction in occlusal (biting surface) decay when sealants were placed in a two to three year follow up, when compared to patients with unsealed teeth. This compelling evidence has our office saying “The Seal is the Deal.”

THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH: Milestones for Salon Jenae B y S h a r o n a n d Ta r a N e s b i h a l

By Rose Alexander

hanksgiving is a time to express gratitude toward our loved ones. For many of us, this means spending the holiday with family, but that doesn’t just mean the family we were born into. Over the last few years, “Friendsgiving” has become a popular trend—especially among those who don’t live near their families, but don’t want to miss out on a lavish meal. With a little preparation and teamwork, you and your friends can have a Friendsgiving party of your own. Pick a date: To make sure your dinner won’t conflict with anyone’s existing family plans, try to choose a date near Thanksgiving rather than the day itself. No one’s ever said “no” to two turkey suppers! Choose a host: Generally, the person with the best kitchen and most spacious and comfortable dining room should host. Keep in mind, though, that this person probably already hosts more than their share of social events. Make sure they’re really up to it. They’ll (likely) also be responsible for cooking the turkey, stuffing and gravy. Chip in for the turkey: Barring alcohol, turkey is probably the most expensive part of the meal (possibly upwards of $30), and it’s the centerpiece. To thank the host for their extra work, consider having every other guest contribute toward its cost. Depending on the number of guests, it should cost only a few dollars each. Designate potluck contributions: For the best variety, be sure to sort this out ahead of time. Take any dietary restrictions into account. Here’s one possible sampling: •

1-2 light appetizers

•

Cranberry sauce (homemade is a must)

•

1-2 root vegetable side dishes (mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, turnip puff, sweet potatoes, carrots)

•

1-2 green or other vegetable side dishes (green beans, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, squash)

•

1-2 green salads

•

Buns (bakery fresh if possible)

•

3-4 types of dessert (pies, cakes, tarts, squares or bars, ice cream – aim for a variety of flavors)

Set the table: It’s a special occasion and a great opportunity to get a little fancy. A linen tablecloth will give you the elegance you’re looking for, but make sure you iron or steam it. Bring out your best dishes and silverware. I like to sprinkle a few pressed fall leaves around the table and set out some decorative pumpkins for a festive pop of color. Help clean up: In my house, the rule of thumb is that no one who cooks has to clean. Since everyone cooks at a potluck, this rule might not stand. It’s still a good idea, though, to not let the host do any dishes. Let them take a break while the guests get everything cleaned up; you don’t want to leave your host with a mountain of dirty plates at the end of the night!

NOVEMBER, A TIME TO BE GRATEFUL FOR OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Also, a time to reflect on the year we had. This past year for Salon Jenae has kept busy with new product launches and staying up to date with education. We had the opportunity to be a host salon for a new color launch: Goldwell Elumen Play. We attended an event at Ocean Place in Long Branch with the “Goldwell Community”, a new adventure for salon owners created by DePasquale Salon Systems. In October we celebrated our seventh-year anniversary! All our current clients and new guests were welcomed. “Spin the wheel” and free giveaways was the highlight of the weekend. Fun was had by all! It is hard to believe Salon Jenae opened its door seven years ago. We are looking forward to many more anniversary celebrations as our salon is continuing to grow. A couple months ago we hired a new stylist, Anna Subacius. Anna joins us from Red Bank after many years of working in the Far Hills/Bernardsville, NJ area. She had studied extensively at Vidal

Sassoon Academy and is a former Goldwell Certified Educator. Friday, December 6 we will be having our 2nd Annual Holiday Party from 5-8pm. There will be a photobooth, free prizes, raffles, and light refreshments will be served. All are welcomed so please feel free to stop by. It is a great way to celebrate family, friends, and new and existing guests! For the past four years we have had the pleasure of hosting a toy drive for local charities. This year we are currently hosting a toy drive on behalf of Family and Children’s Service called “Operation Sleigh Bells.” If you wish to donate please bring a new, unwrapped toy to our salon. We will be collecting toys until Tuesday, December 10. We have been very successful in previous years with donations exceeding over one hundred toys per year. With the help of your contribution we can bring joy to a child this holiday season! We are very blessed to have such amazing family, friends and clients in our lives. Thank you to everyone for honoring Salon Jenae and standing behind our professionalism 100%. More exciting things to come in 2020! With much Love and Happiness for the New Year, Sharon and Tara Nesbihal

Whoever brings the smaller dishes can double up. Create a shared list so that people know when a particular food has been claimed and you don’t all end up bringing mashed potatoes! Everyone should arrive with their food pre-cooked and hot (or ready to be heated and served). You don’t want too many people in the kitchen while the host is scrambling to put the finishing touches on the turkey. If possible, bring your own serving dishes as well. BYOB: Everyone is responsible for bringing their own wine (or other alcoholic drinks of choice), but the host can provide a small selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Sparkling punch made of cranberry juice, orange juice and lemon-lime pop is a hit at my house! 14

THERE IS A NEW CAPTAIN AT THE HELM AT RED BANK REGIONAL B y B i l l i e C r aw f o r d - M c N a l ly

LAST YEAR WAS A ROUGH ONE for students, teachers and administrators at Red Bank Regional High School. Staff and students alike made a herculean effort to pull together to help keep our high school on an even keel, but many felt adrift as a new principal was sought. RBR has been on the forefront of educational trends for decades and no one wanted to lose that toehold. It truly is a village. It has restaurants, stores, a gym, all with dedicated teachers and staff giving it their all. They have set a high-bar and are constantly looking to exceed it. Enter Julius Clark. There were many qualified contenders, but when it came time to choose, something about this gentleman must have stood out. Upon meeting him, you got it. I was struck by his enthusiasm, selfconfidence and engaging demeanor. He has a presence. One that staff, kids and parents appreciate. He’s approachable, accessible and most of all interested. You have probably met him as he has been on a tour of the sending towns, on a mission to meet the parents of his villagers. He has been visiting the primary schools, council meetings, he even braved a BUC Backer meeting. We have all read his dossier, but I wanted to give you a chance to meet the man.

P h o t o C r e d i t : B y B i l l i e C r aw f o r d - M c N a l ly BCM: What made you come back to the area?

BCM: What is your long-term vision for Red Bank Regional?

JC: Honestly, an opportunity opened up at RBR. I was encouraged to apply for the position but hesitated, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to lead a high school. I spoke to many colleagues to glean wisdom and advice about being a principal in a high school, and they strongly encouraged me to go for it. I always loved my time in Red Bank and now I have the opportunity to inspire and encourage so many children. I needed to push pass my fear and take a chance.

JC: To be the best school that we can be, where all those who have stake in RBR, show and speak BUC pride. My pastor told me something the other day that really stuck with me. He said, “Graduation is a requirement, but greatness is an expectation!” I truly want to see my students and staff walk in greatness. That’s the vision; I want people to come back and share their stories and journeys from RBR and life with the next generation of students.

BCM: What are you passionate about?

BCM: What would you like people to know about you?

JC: I am passionate about walking in my purpose. I know that part of my purpose is teaching and inspiring others to be their best self. Each and every day I try to represent myself the same way.

JC: I am the best, just kidding. Honestly, I just want them to know that I strive to be a good person, a man of faith who wants to see people walk in their purpose and fulfill their potential.

BCM: What changes would you like to see made to improve the school? JC: There really isn’t much I would change. I would like to continue to build on an already strong RBR spirit and tradition, inspire people to do their best and celebrate successes. We have so many incredible programs and I just want to continue to build on them. My predecessor, Risa, was a strong leader. She left some big shoes for me to fill.

BCM: Do you have a favorite local hang? JC: Starbucks and Red Bank R Barber Shop. Billie is a resident of Little Silver and you might recognize her from our April 2018 issue Family Feature! For advice from an avid explorer, look for her monthly column Adventures in Serendipity to find more adventures in Little Silver and the beautiful world around it.

“Talk Saves Lives”: Prevention of Suicide B y To n i A n n R o m e o

he statistics for suicide are outstanding. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States, according to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Stigmas based on suicide often goes unreported. National Survey of Drug Use and Mental Health estimated that 0.6 percent of adults aged 18 or older made at least one suicide attempt in the year 2017. The SOURCE, Red Bank Regional’s school-based counseling program hosted a gathering on May 30 called “Talk Saves Lives,” according to Red Bank Regional High School. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention created the program to raise awareness, fund scientific research and provide resources to families affected by suicide. SOURCE’s Director, Suzanne Keller along with two guest speakers from the county-funded grant program, Upstream Suicide Prevention, spoke to the parents on the rapid increase in suicide rate. The program acknowledged the conversation in the welcoming home of a parent. Mary Fowler, member of the USP, introduced the program. Fowler stated the programs aim was

“for everybody to be the eyes and ears for each other.” The issues discussed at the event were: the signs of suicide, how to listen, how to respond to it, and how to help people who are struggling. Phyllis Alongi, member of the USP, explained to the families that most suicides are preventable through proper education. The discussion of suicide is to “have that uncomfortable conversation with your kid. Alongi initiated that how parents discuss suicide matters and will have an effect on how kids respond to it. The main question presented is “How can parents prevent suicide ideation from taking place?” First, is to understand that there are multiple risk factors and triggers for children taking their own lives. A child can have a mental illness, a family history of mental illness, have been exposed to suicide or attempted it before. LGBTQ members are at risk due to being frequent targets of bullying and cyberbullying. Environmental factors such as stress, substance abuse, recent suffering of a life stress event also play a role in a young adult taking their own life. One thing a parent can do is to seek good

mental health care before any issues start. The parents are advised to take their children to a therapist, one they are comfortable with. Parents should find a right match for their child. If a child refuses to go to therapy, parents can seek therapy for proper guidance on how to take care of their child. Parents can promote their children to try medication as long as there is a proper diagnosis, exercising, yoga and support groups for survivors of suicide loss. The program advised parents to not underestimate how important it is for them to promote healthy body and a healthy mindset for their children. Parents are advised to tell their child that “Life is worth living.” Listen, care, and seek help for your children- The SOURCE.

Alzheimer’s Awareness Month I am happy and proud to announce the first recipient of Gannon Holsey Group rebate to first responders. MEGAN SENKELESKI, a registered nurse, recently purchased her first home. Best of luck Megan in your new home!! 350 Silverside Avenue, Little Silver, New Jersey 07739 www.gannonholsey.com

By Chelsea Scott IN 1983, President Ronald Reagan designated November as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. The disease, which is a type of dementia, affects over five million Americans today and leads to memory, behavior and thinking problems. November is a good time to raise awareness, get involved and learn more about Alzheimer’s. What Are the Signs? At the start, Alzheimer’s can simply resemble forgetfulness. However, as time goes on, someone suffering from this disease may forget important dates and events, names, lose track of time, become more easily confused, misplace their personal belongings, struggle to solve problems and even experience changes in mood and personality. As the disease progresses, people often are robbed of the ability to hold a conversation and recognize their environment (or even loved ones). What Can Be Done? There are currently no cures for Alzheimer’s, although certain drugs and treatments have been known to slow its progression. The search for a cure is just one reason why Alzheimer’s Awareness Month is important.

How Can I Help? If there is someone in your life who is struggling with Alzheimer’s, try to stick to a routine. If you say you will visit them at 2pm, be prompt. This is helpful to the patient as it reduces confusion. It’s also a good idea to help the person feel comfortable. Remind them that they can trust you and that they are safe with you. Even though it may be frustrating to repeat something or have them forget your name, do your best to stay calm and not become frustrated. If your loved one is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s, it may be time to consider a memory care unit to ensure they are well taken care of and (most importantly) safe.

ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2019, The Education Foundation of Little Silver kicked off its 25th annual campaign to support Little Silver Schools. The Kickoff Celebration was held at the home of Kelly Oldroyd, amid PowerOn Week, chaired this year by Dana Galkin. The Kickoff Event and PowerOn Week are the EFLS's annual initiative to energize the community to participate in and support this crucial effort on behalf of our schools. In addition to the Kickoff Cocktail Party, this year the week included lots of fun activities for the community including Volunteer Greeters opening doors at Point Road School Drop-off, an After-School Snack and Playground Party, and a Coffee on the Lawn during drop-off. All of these events provided parents a chance to speak with EFLS Trustees and Volunteers to learn more about the organization and sign up to help. In this landscape of rising costs and tightening school budgets, the EFLS is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers who want to help support our children's education. Contact Kelly Oldroyd at edfoundationoflittlesilver@ gmail.com to find the committee right for you!

LITTLE SILVER WOMEN’S CLUB were honored by the military wives of McGuires Air Force Base, on October 3 at our club house. This recognition is based on our donation of 700 formal evening wear, purses, shoes and costume jewelry donated by our Little Silver community and surrounded areas. In September, the Little Silver members cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the Cinderella Closet on the base. It was a moment to remember, the wives lined up to enter the building restored by the wives and husbands in the military.
