ello November, I can’t believe you’re here, 2013 is almost over and the holidays will soon be upon us. This time of season evokes images of family, football and of course – Thanksgiving! Friends and family gather together to enjoy not only football Sundays, but Thursday night, Saturday and Monday night football – basically half your week can be easily filled with watching the pigskin get thrown around. Families will meet to enjoy their Thanksgiving dinners, a time to offer thanks for all we have while enjoying our holiday meals with one another. And with all the holiday craziness, one needs to sit back, relax and reflect on all the good fortune one has this holiday season, because the relationships in our lives and the people that love us are the true spirit of the season.

Hazlet Day
Festival Annual Hazlet Day Festival gives back to the community
O
n Saturday, October 5, the Hazlet Township Recreation Commission held the annual Hazlet Day Festival at Veterans Memorial Park. Approximately 1,000 residents from throughout the area attended the event to celebrate the community and participate in a day of free autumn activities. The festival, which was founded by former Hazlet Township Recreation Commission Director Kay Mahon roughly 40 years ago, originated as an art-focused event. “It started out as an art in the park festival,” said recently retired Hazlet Township Recreation Commission Director Barbara Ronchetti. “Then it progressed into what you see now: a day of crafts, vendors, food and rides.” Under the direction of Hazlet Township Recreation Commission Director Karen Theer and the late Hazlet Day Festival Chairwoman Joanne Jefferson, for whom the day was in remembrance, this year s festival continued to

develop, growing in size, quality of organization and variety of activities. Among these attractions were a rock wall, bungee trampoline, children's Ferris wheel, carousel bounce, sports obstacle course, pony rides, tractor-drawn hayride, face painting, games, music, lunch and baked goods, health screenings and 67 vendors selling art, crafts, jewelry, seasonal décor and home and garden supplies. Looking into the future, the Hazlet Township Recreation Committee hopes to keep this 40-year-old tradition alive for generations to come, and are motivated by the potential of expanding crowds, additional games and live music. More importantly, though, they are committed to continuing to give their fellow Hazlet residents a great afternoon in the park. “This day is all about having fun in Hazlet and giving back to the community,” said Ronchetti. “It’s free for everyone to come and there’s rides, vendors, food—everything the people of Hazlet love.”

Fall Family Fun
STORY SUSAN MURPHY
D
earborn Market kicked off the Fall season with their second annual Apple Festival held on September 28 and 29. This weekend was also the start of their Fall Family Fun events which were held every weekend in October.
Families were able to hop aboard the hay wagon and take a trip to the pumpkin patch, once there the little ones had some awesome choices- find their way through the challenging Corn Maze; climb higher and higher to the top of the Hay Bale Pyramid; try out the hay Bale Maze; or explore the winding hay bale tunnel known as the Straw Crawl. Parents could make use of Dearborn’s Harvest back drop Photo Set and take their own pictures that would serve as a reminder of the fun-filled day. A bonus was the nominally priced pony rides near the pumpkin patch and mazes. During the two-day Apple Festival, visitors had the opportunity to buy the freshly-picked New York State apples that arrive daily at Dearborn Market. Their best quality selection included Cortland, Fuji, Ginger Gold, McIntosh, as well as Honeycrisp, Winesap, Macoun and so many more. DJ Luccarelli said, “Since this is apple season, we thought it would be an opportunity for everyone to taste our fresh

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE WWW.COMMUNITYMAGAZINENJ.COM
baked apple products. The Apple Festival is our kick-off for the season.” A festival setting seemed the perfect way to celebrate the upcoming Fall season, with opportunities to buy crisp and delicious apples or pick out the best pumpkin. Among the delicious treats for sampling and purchase were freshly-made apple cider donuts, mini apple pies, apple cider, chocolate or caramel covered apples on a stick, apple turnovers, caramel dip for apples, and Boars Head meats and cheeses. Radio Station 94.3 The Point was on hand and kept the afternoon festive with continuous music. Hot dogs and pretzels were also available for purchase. The Apple Festival was a great chance for families to spend quality time together outdoors and to taste-test some of the delicious apple products Dearborn Market offers in their store.

Dear fellow Hazlet business owners, I am pleased to announce that a new committee has been formed to focus on business development along the two highway corridors that run through the Township. Both highways have seen an increase in vacant buildings and storefronts over the past few years. This newly formed committee is the Hazlet Township Economic Development Committee, and its mission is to enhance the many attributes that the Township of Hazlet has to offer. The Hazlet Township Economic Development Committee members are a dedicated volunteer group, formed by the Hazlet Business Owners Association to help create opportunities for economic development through desirable business growth and expansion, retention and attraction, and to work as partners to develop a climate conducive of maintaining the quality of life in this great Township of Hazlet, Monmouth County. Please consider joining the HBOA and tap into the collective experience and intelligence that our other members can offer to you. Get involved with the HBOA and have a voice in the challenges that we face as business owners. Our monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 7:15pm. Meetings are held at the Scudiery Enterprises Conference Room – located above Interstate Electronics at Airport Plaza. Sincerely yours, Ted Koczon, President Hazlet Business Owners Association
HIGHWAY COLLECTIONS BY HAZLET FIRE COMPANIES DONATED TO HOSPITALS
STORY SUSAN MURPHY
M
embers of the North Centerville Fire Company and Hazlet Fire Company, who collected funds from motorists at Highway 35 and 36 in Hazlet during June, July and August of this year, were able to make substantial donations to three hospitals. Hazlet Township Fire Inspector John Beslanovitz noted that Saint Jude, Saint Barnabus and Deborah Hospitals were each presented with a $2,000 check during a September 23 meeting in Hazlet Township’s main meeting room. Three other organizations also received donations as a result of the three-month roadside collections. The RAINE Foundation, (Reaching All in Need Everyday) which is a 501(c)(3) organization established in 2001 to assist children and their families who are in crisis, received $500. The Hazlet-based S.T.A.R.S (Special Teens and Adult Recreation Supporters), who sponsor local athletes
interested in the Special Olympics, received $500. The final $500 was given to Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to help fund a motorized wheelchair for U.S. Army Captain Ben Harrow, who lost both his legs while serving in Afghanistan. “Thanks to the generosity of the motorists who gave during the three-month collection and the help of the volunteers from our fire companies who stationed themselves at the two sites, we were able to make these wonderful donations,” said Fire Inspector Beslanovitz. He added that North Centerville Fire Company recently lost their ex-chief Anthony F. DeMichele, who had given over 50 years of service as a firefighter. “Tony worked closely with us in our collection efforts over the years. He was also my dearest friend and will be deeply missed by everyone,” said Beslanovitz.

FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER’S
30th Annual Carter Work Project
Brings Hope To Union Beach
In the immediate wake of Hurricane Sandy,
Union Beach suffered an unimaginable amount of devastation. Suddenly, 270 families were without homes, 2,102 households were severely damaged and the once picturesque oceanfront community more closely resembled an annihilated warzone. Even now, one year after the 2012 superstorm swept up New Jersey’s coastline, the lives of more than half of Union Beach’s affected residents have yet to return to normal.
Despite the seemingly endless months of struggling, the answer to Union Beach’s prayers finally arrived on Saturday, October 12, when former President Jimmy Carter concluded his 30th annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project on Prospect Avenue with a hammer in hand, ready to build homes and raise awareness about the importance of affordable housing. The Carter Work Project is a weeklong Habitat for Humanity event that was established in 1984 by the Carters, who sought to use their status and wealth to better the lives of those less fortunate. “Rosalynn and I worked on Habitat projects around our home community for about three or four years and then finally, 30 years ago in 1984, we came to New York and began our annual meetings,” said Carter. Since then, the Carter Work Project has become an internationally renowned event, serving countries including America, Haiti, Hungary, India and Thailand, and attracting thousands of volunteers to highlight and eliminate destitute housing. This year’s project brought the Carters across the country, repairing over 80 homes in Oakland, San Jose, Denver, New York City and Union Beach. In commemoration of the Carter Work Project’s 30th anniversary, the week was initially set to culminate in the event’s location of origin: New York City. In fact, according to Habitat for Humanity’s Northeast Monmouth County Director of Operations

STORY VICKY VALET
Raymond J. Gabler, Union Beach was not even on the 2013 itinerary. “The schedules for this year’s Carter event were actually established back in April 2012, so we were not on the schedule because the storm hadn’t hit,” said Gabler. “As the year progressed and the storm occurred, a dialogue started between Habitat International and the Carters. Once the president was asked, he said, ‘Of course. I’d love to.’” “Our hearts went out to people who live along this seacoast when superstorm Sandy hit, and we’ve been worried about you all ever since,” said Carter. “It’s really gratifying to come and see all the work that has been done already and all the volunteers who have turned out.” With 650 volunteers by their side and a goal of building one and repairing 13 homes on their Union Beach checklist, the Carters got to work, donning baseball caps, jeans and, for former President Carter, a red bandana around his neck. They worked persistently throughout the day, rarely pausing for so much as a breath, despite their advanced ages of 89 and 86, respectively. “I am both amazed and humbled by their efforts,” said Habitat for Humanity CEO Jonathan Reckford of the Carters commitment and work ethic. “I can tell you that no one works harder on the worksite—President and Mrs. Carter are tireless champions for social justice.” It was this hard work that enabled the Carter Work Project volunteers to not only meet, but exceed their goals, rebuilding and repairing 18 Union Beach homes. Additionally, the Carters— drawing from their experiences working in post-Katrina New Orleans—ensured that each of the Union Beach homes was not only restored, but also weatherized for the future. “The people whose homes were destroyed will now have a safe place to live,” said Carter. “And if you’ve noticed, we’re jacking up the houses 9-feet to get prepared for another storm that might come in the future.”
Although the ability to construct and provide families with decently built houses is fulfilling, Rosalynn Carter insisted that one of the primary joys of working with Habitat for Humanity is witnessing the positive effects homeownership can have on families. “We have learned through our experiences that so many good things happen because people have a home…For instance, there was a family in I think it was Seattle, Washington, living in an abandoned automobile. And then they had a son…he was failing in school. They got a Habitat house, and it was not just a few months before he was at the top of his class,” she said. “And I think Habitat is addictive…to meet the people and see them and see how they live and think that you were able to make it better for them—it just does something to you.” “I think anytime anybody thinks they’re going to make a sacrifice on a Habitat project, they find out that they get more benefit out of it than they put into it,” added Carter. While Habitat for Humanity’s Northeast Monmouth County affiliate still has a lot of Sandy recovery work to do—including reaching a long-term goal of restoring the homes of 100 families within their service area—Carter remained impressed with the progress thus far, especially the manner in which Governor Chris Christie has led New Jersey. “I was filled with admiration for what [Governor Christie] did, not only helping within New Jersey, but his influence and making sure that the congress didn’t continue to deprive the people whose homes were destroyed from appropriate repair assessments,” said Carter before humorously mentioning, “I noticed that he said some good things about Democrats, and I have no hesitation to say some good things about him.” He continued to comment on the country’s current leadership, leaving criticism out of the equation as he felt that, being out of office since 1981, such judgment would not be appropriate. “I think that there are problems among Republicans and among Democrats…My role to come here is to work side-by-side with volunteers. I’m sure half of them are Democrats, half of them are Republicans—I don’t care,” said Carter. “Habitat is the kind of operation that breaks down barriers among people. It makes you realize that under God, all of us are created equal…That’s what they need to do in Washington.” In light of the Carter Work Project reaching a landmark anniversary, there was, according to Gabler, some expectation that the Carters might designate the Union Beach project their last. This, however, proved to not be the case. “The Carters actually pleasantly surprised Habitat International and said they expect to continue this, and they already identified next year’s host sight in Dallas,” said Gabler. “The Carters are the face of Habitat for Humanity,” said Reckford. “Their 30-year legacy of service has brought hope to more than 3,800 families worldwide, with ripples of impact that have touched literally hundreds of thousands of families.”

Thanksgiving Recipes
RECIPES & COMMENTARY VERONICA HOFFMAN
to make with your little ones
F
rom Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie Surprise to your great uncle’s Secret Stuffing, Thanksgiving is filled with special foods that are unique to your family. Many of these recipes get handed down from generation to generation- written on little note cards and in the well-worn pages of a handwritten cookbooks- and are always placed on the table with pride. This combination of togetherness and deliciousness is a great opportunity to get kids involved in the kitchen and pass on some of the most valuable heirlooms in the family – its traditions. Aside from passing on gems of culinary wisdom, getting them involved will help them take ownership of the meal and may even give them a talking point when they sit down to dinner with everyone.
GARLIC-BUTTER GREEN BEANS
6.
This side dish is a great one to get younger children involved with, especially if the green beans are fresh. Teach kids to snap the ends off of the fresh beans first, before splitting them into smaller pieces.
Move beans into a mixing bowl and let your child toss them with the butter mixture until beans are well coated.
7.
Serve Immediately
• • • •
1.
2.
3.
4 Cups fresh green beans 2 Tbsp salted butter 1 Tbsp minced garlic (pre-minced garlic in a jar is fine) ½ Cup jarred roasted red bell pepper, chopped Fill a medium pot halfway with water and set in a space accessible to your prep surface. Rinse green beans thoroughly with cold water and drain well. To prepare the green beans, snap off the ends and then snap again in half. Toss green beans into the medium pot. When you and your little one have finished snapping the green beans, put the pot on the stove and cook on medium high heat until the water begins to boil.
4.
In the meantime, melt butter in a small bowl. Add red peppers and garlic to melted butter and stir.
5.
When green beans have finished, remove them from heat and drain immediately. Rinse with cool water to prevent the green color from fading.
CARROT & TURNIP MASH This is my mother’s recipe and is one of my all time favorites. She always used to let me do the mashing with one of those old-fashioned mashers that had the grate on the bottom. It is fairly sweet, and can be complimented by the addition of clove, orange peel, or nutmeg. • • • • •
½ Lb carrots, peeled and chopped ½ Lb of turnips, peeled and chopped 1 Tbsp of salted butter 3 Tbsp of honey, molasses, or maple syrup ¼ Tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
1.
Add carrots and turnips to a large pot and fill with water until covered. Salt the water.
2.
Over medium heat bring to a boil and cook an additional 25 minutes or until vegetables are very tender.
3.
Move to a large plastic mixing bowl and add butter, honey, and cinnamon. Allow to cool until it is safe to handle.
4.
Have your child “smush” the mixture
Having little hands in the mixing bowl takes a little bit of planning to ensure the experience is a good one. It’s vital to set them up for success, taking into consideration their age and the difficulties of the recipes you have. Children up to seven should be given recipes that call for you to snap, tear, spread, measure, and do basic mixing (like stirring instant pudding). Children from eight to ten can do all of those things with added supervised responsibilities like using a mixer, grating cheese, cracking and separating eggs, and chopping vegetables. Make sure you do any of the prep-work required for the non-kid parts of the recipes before-hand so you can engage them as much as possible when you are cooking together. Below are a few recipes to get you started.
until it is the consistency of mashed potatoes. 5.
Serve immediately.
MUD PIE This recipe is very well suited for small children with messy senses of humor. The pie itself isn’t traditional thanksgiving fare, but would be a great addition to a dessert table with children as it mimics the ever popular cup-o-dirt dessert. In the end you will have a pie that looks like it is filled with potting soil that has gummy worms crawling through it. • • •
2 Pre-made chocolate wafer cookie crust 1 Package of instant chocolate pudding, prepared 1 3.5Oz package of your favorite gummy worms
1.
Prepare pudding according to package directions and pour into one prepared crust. Allow the pudding to set at least halfway.
2.
Have your child help you crumble the remaining crust until it is the consistency of dirt. Sprinkle over pudding.
3.
Let your child decorate with gummy worms.
4.
Let the pie set completely before serving

Halloween Costume Recycle Project Receives Great Support STORY SUSAN MURPHY
‘Tis the Season
Holiday Express Concert & Red Bank Town Lighting Left to right: Allison Leach, Casandra Auletta, Lucca Cioffi and Matthew Spirko, who are all a part of Drops of RAINE, sort through the donated Halloween costumes that were collected during their Halloween Costume Recycle project held September 16 through October 11, 2013.
D
rops of RAINE, a subdivision of the RAINE Foundation, enlisted the help of the community and asked for donations of old Halloween costumes to help children in need. All Hazlet Public Schools were set up with a collection bin for the costume recycle drive, which ran from September 16 to October 11. The costumes were professionally cleaned and distributed on October 19 and 20 at Fireman’s Park, Union Avenue, Union Beach from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The costume recycle and distribution project was an amazing success, thanks to Drops of RAINE. This organization was created by children to encourage volunteerism and to help those in need within the community. The children have held numerous drives at various times of the year to collect food, coats and toys. This group was also instrumental in assisting with the volunteer efforts made during and after Superstorm Sandy last year. According to a press release, Casandra Auletta, a seventh grade student, started the club this year in Hazlet Middle School. They meet on Mondays right after school in Room A3 for a few minutes and snacks are served. “Please join us to make a difference in our community and to share your ideas. If you are interested, please come to one of our meetings or contact us at capeace2@gmail.com.” Casandra shared her thoughts on the costume project. “Working together with my friends and community to help children with Halloween costumes was so much fun.” She added, “Drops of RAINE has become a club at school, so it’s easy to have meetings at the end of the day.” The RAINE Foundation (Reaching All In Need Everyday) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was formed in 2001 and is run entirely by volunteers.

n October 16, the Keyport Historical Society had their annual Tea and Fashion Show. It is an event for Historical Society members and the public celebrating fashion from a specific era in history. This year was about prohibition. Many of the members came dressed as gangsters and flappers. The food included mini sandwiches and plenty of cookies and cupcakes. There was also a tricky tray auction, giving away gift certificates, cooking materials and even a handmade blanket. Constance Milligan, a board member of the Society, said that the event helped raise money for the society for a new museum. The original was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.

To complete the documentary, Home Away From Home Academy sponsored a segment in which the students were able to showcase their pledges to spread kindness. Alysia and Cris came to the school to speak with the children and witness the pledges. The segment also featured owners, Phyllis and Carmine Visone who sent a very clear message about the importance of teaching children young. “It is never too early to know respect, kindness, and love for others. It helps children grow into better adults who won’t be prone to bullying or any other type of violence”, says Phyllis Visone. Carmine adds, “Children learn 50% of their lifelong knowledge ages 0-7, so here at our school, we capitalize on those years to instill these important lessons”. Lessons such as these and more are not only taught at the school but are also major topics covered in the Visones’ published book, “The Visone Method: A New Philosophy in Early Childhood Education”. The documentary will air on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Linked In as well as be placed on “The Kickin It” new TV show web site. It will be on 7 Rose Studio websites and NBC’s stars from “The Voice” will be sharing it as well. Kickin’ It® is created to empower & inspire children’s’ creativity, imagination, self-expression, passion, dreams and aspirations, positively impacting them to overcome negative obstacles that would inhibit them from developing into strong, independent, healthy functioning members of society.

M
onmouth County Park System held its highly-anticipated Thompson Park Day on October 20, 2013 to the delight of the thousand-plus families who attended the huge outdoor event. The six-hour activity-packed day included something for all age groups. Tickets were required for some of the activities. Pumpkin painting, only one ticket, allowed the little ones to pick a kid-sized pumpkin then paint it anyway they chose. Some of the other ticket activities were wagon rides, inflatable rides, archery, ceramics, and a climbing wall. Kids’ Races included Diaper Derby for crawlers; Tot Trot for three categories which included walkers/toddlers on up to three-yearolds; Pee Wee Run for four to six-year-olds; Sack Races in two categories of seven to eight-year-olds and nine to ten-year-olds. Zany Zombies was an enter-at-your-own-risk patch with scary creatures all around. The brave ones who entered were given a tag telling them what body parts to find. Brains (of course) and fingers were two that needed to be found in the patch. A Scarecrow Contest invited the talented to build their own scarecrow. Framework and stuffing was supplied and entrants supplied their own clothing, faces, and props. Entertainment was held in the Theater Barn and featured Miss Melissa’s Aardvarks Band, Snakes of Monmouth County, and The Little Rockers Band. Strolling the park were a Scarecrow and a Frankenstein’s Monster Stiltwalker; a Balloonist; and Macaroni Anne Cheeze, a crafty balloon artist. Two horses in a corral were nearby for children to see and pet. A chance on a 50/50 drawing was offered which will benefit the Special People United to Ride (SPUR) Scholarship Fund. One funny and popular activity was the “Strut Your Mutt” Costume Contest sponsored by the Friends of the Parks. Prizes were given for funniest, scariest, prettiest, most original and best canine/ human combo. An unusual activity was the chance to do some Cross-Country Skiing on a specially made path in one of the fields by the other activities. There was much more happening at Thompson Park Day aside from these listings and some very happy and in many cases very tired little ones definitely enjoyed their day.

Aretha Franklin, The Beatles from afterschool field hockey and Whitney Houston quickly practice, she is, upon first glance, topped her list of musical influences, almost unrecognizable from the as well as her now “Voice” coach, black cocktail dress-adorned, folk- Christina Aguilera, whose work on soul singer, whose sophisticated Disney’s “Mulan” soundtrack inspired tone earned her a spot on the fifth and guided Lee through her first season of NBC’s “The Voice.” It is in public performance. “I did a fifth these candid moments when Lee grade play. It was the first thing I reminds the world that, beneath her had ever tried out for, singing-wise, astonishing vocal range and control, and it was ‘Mulan,’” said Lee. “I got her advanced stage presence and the part of Mulan and I was shocked, poise, she is still a 16-year-old girl because I was really shy…that gave on the journey of a lifetime. me a lot more confidence. I listened A Ranney School junior and to Christina’s version of ‘Reflection’ longtime resident of Colts Neck, and I was hooked on her voice…that N.J., Lee discovered her passion really helped me develop.” and talent for singing in the third With this newfound confidence grade, when her mother, Denise Lee, in hand, Lee began performing overheard her humming along to more and more. She used her voice the radio and asked that she sing for for charitable purposes, singing for her family.

the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that provides events, programs and services to veterans injured during military action. It was also during this time that she got her first taste of competitive singing, beginning with a win at the Colts Neck Fair Talent Contest. Following this success, Lee signed up for Freehold Idol, another local singing competition, which she soon learned would pose a greater challenge. “I did [Freehold Idol] twice, and the first time I didn’t even place,” said Lee, who coped with the loss by delving into her favorite pastime— songwriting—and growing artistically. “The second time I did it, I came in with a song that I wrote on my own, and I went with my gut and I won.” While walking away with the title of Freehold Idol was certainly gratifying, it was nothing in comparison to what was just around the corner for the young artist. While singing The Beatles’ “With A Little Help From My Friends” in Pier Village with Rockit—a Count Basie Theatre program that provides young musicians with the opportunity to collaborate and play rock music—Lee’s powerhouse vocals caught the attention of Monocentric Music President and Creative Director Marc Swersky and singer/songwriter Brielle Brown (who Lee now endearingly refers to as her “soul sister”). “[Swersky] was in the audience and I guess he heard something in my voice that he really liked,” said Lee. “We didn’t formally meet then, but that was when we first knew about each other. Then later on he came to me with the idea [to try out for ‘The Voice.’]” Lee took him
up on his offer without hesitation, and the duo began vocal training. Lee prepared for her “Voice” audition just as she would for any other performance: rehearsing constantly, eating countless gummy bears—“I eat gummy bears a lot because I like candy, and they soothe my voice!”— and playing one of her original songs the night before as a reminder of her personal, artistic style. However, as soon as she took “The Voice” stage for her rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black,” faced with nothing but the broad backs of ruby, leather armchairs, concealing four of the music industry’s top artists, she came to a sudden realization: “There’s no way you can prepare for the exact feeling that you have when you walk on [‘The Voice’] stage.” The music started, and the rest was a blur. “I just remember my eyes being glued to the back of their chairs…I saw Christina’s hands waving up above her chair and I was like, ‘Why is your hand there and not on the button? Come on!” In fact, it was not until the final six seconds of Lee’s performance that, in unison, both Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton turned their chairs. “It definitely helped me stay focused throughout the performance,” said Lee of the coaches late chair turns. “If they turned in the beginning, I don’t know what I would’ve done—I might have laughed my way through the rest of the song!” Although Shelton, with his three consecutive wins and lighthearted personality, was a tempting option for Lee, she followed her heart and joined Team Christina. “She can do so much
with my voice; her voice is pretty much unbeatable. It was just really clear to me,” said Lee. “Christina was also a young girl growing up in the industry, so I think she can relate to me in that kind of way.” Though her time on “The Voice” has only just begun, Lee already describes the experience as being different than anything she’s ever done, in the best of ways. “All the people behind the stage were so nice and the contestants were all really nice. You make some really great friendships,” said Lee. “And the feeling of getting a chair turned with your family surrounding you, and your friends finding out about it—there is no other feeling like it. It’s better than Christmas!” With her audition behind her, Lee is more than ready to continue on in the competition, and is eager to gain exposure and a greater understanding of herself as an artist. As for after “The Voice,” she’s already got a plan. “Next would be straight to writing, straight to the drawing board!” said Lee, who would love nothing more than to record and share her original music. In the meantime, however, she’s perfectly content hanging out with her friends, playing field hockey and just being a normal teenager. At the mention of her working with Ed Sheeran in preparation for battle rounds, Lee squeals with a girlish glee, searching for the right words to express the pure excitement of meeting yet another one of her idols. She is animated, bubbly, everything a 16-year-old girl should be. And yet, Lee possesses not only a voice, but a mind mature beyond her years. “I am the youngest [on the show], but I try to play it to my advantage,” explains Lee of how she manages the intimidation factor. “I am 16 and I’ll show you everything I have and, hopefully, you’re impressed by that.” “She’s very devoted and she’s a hard worker,” adds Swersky. “And the world will hear about her—I promise everybody that.”
