TRENTON – Fifty-one students from 11 Monmouth County schools represented The Community YMCA and joined 500 of their peers from New Jersey at the annual YMCA Youth & Government Conference, held April 8 through April 10 at the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton. Students in The Community YMCA’s program received top honors, including this year’s Outstanding Delegation award. In addition, the efforts of The Community Y’s students were honored individually. Alicia Lai, of Holmdel High School, was named Outstanding Press Delegate and was given the special accolade of being invited to participate in the prestigious Conference on National Affairs. Shannon Pace, of Red Bank Regional High School, was recognized as Outstanding Lobbyist. Brian Gilbride, of Thompson Middle School, received the Outstanding First Year Delegate Award for the

middle school component of the program, the Junior Legislators. Krissy Antone, Bayshore Middle School, and Caitlin Loh, Thompson Middle School, were each awarded the title of Outstanding Stateperson for the Junior Legislator Program. The annual conference is part of the YMCA’s Youth & Government program, designed to expose middle and high school students from New Jersey to the inner workings of our state legislature. The weekend-long conference takes place each year at the New Jersey Statehouse, where students are given the opportunity to simulate the N.J. senate and assembly within the actual building where our representatives create the laws and codes that govern us. Locally, the program is part of The Community YMCA’s civic engagement initiative, to teach teens about government and give them the opportunity to take an active role in

strengthening their community. “We are extremely proud of the remarkable performance of all 51 of the Y’s student delegates,” Community YMCA program advisor Jackie Normyle said. “Each student walked away from the conference with a deeper understanding of the essential functions of our state government and the democratic political process as a whole.” Students representing this year’s Community YMCA delegation were from the following Monmouth County schools: Holmdel High School, Middletown South High School, Red Bank Catholic High School, Red Bank Regional High School, Biotechnology High School, MAST (Marine Academy of Science & Technology), Bayshore Middle School, Shrewsbury Borough School, Thompson Middle School, Henry Hudson Regional School and Thorne Middle School.

By MICHELLE TUCHOL Correspondent ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS BOROUGH — “We’re the mom and pop gym,” Michael Knox, owner of Navesink Fitness, said as he watched the last few members finish up their workouts before the gym closed for the evening. Knox seemed to know everyone that walked by him as if they were old friends. And that’s the type of reputation he hopes to keep. This May marks the 9th anniversary of the local fitness center, conveniently situated in the A&P Shopping Center on Route 36 in Atlantic Highlands. The location is a prime spot for anyone in the Bayshore area to go exercise. Knox and his son, Rob, are grateful to have a functional business in these challenging economic times. As co-owner and head trainer of the facility, Rob feels as strongly about the small-time gym scene as his father does. The emergence of large gym franchises didn’t squash this family from providing locals with a place where they can feel more comfortable with training and working out. You might not find three floors of elliptical machines, treadmills and weight training machines, but you will find a newly renovated cardio floor with flat screen televisions, newer equipment and revamped classes such as spinning, yoga and Zumba. Michael and Rob also aren’t the types of owners who come in every once in a while to check up on the facility. Rob, who started working in the gym scene since he was 16, is always around. His father, who first came to his son with the idea of buying a gym, is no stranger either. Both are equally passionate about helping clients reach their full potential. Michael, also known as Coach Knox, has always been an avid supporter of athletics. Throughout his life, Michael has been involved in many sports and disciplines, from teaching to his own personal fitness goals. He’s currently head coach at Holy Cross in Rumson for track and field and soccer. Although his career started in the New York Garment District, it wasn’t long before his passion for fitness was reignited after an opportunity to run a gym came along. He called on Rob and the two went head first into the business. What originally started as a side project eventually turned into a full-time job for Michael and Rob—now nine years strong. Navesink Fitness embraces some very original concepts that seem to help carry out the local gym blueprint. Michael likes to call it a “reliability factor,” stating that they’re really in business for the people. He also claims that he’s never seen a gym

Michael and Rob Knox advertisement that shows regular people in better shape while training at other facilities. “We’re the only ones that have before and after pictures,” Michael said. He encouraged people to stop in to Navesink Fitness and pick up one of their brochures or visit www. navesinkfitness.com to see some of the locals’ amazing success stories. Rob also believes that their 10 Week Body Transformation Challenge has a lot to do with their awareness with the community and also bears heavily on the facility’s credibility. “I offer people the healthy, natural approach,” Rob said. As a nutritionist, trainer and health-conscious person who knows a great deal about the world of supplements, Rob believes that performance-enhancing drugs dominate the fitness industry. But he wants his clients who participate in the Transformation Challenge to be aware of their bodies in their current state and build workouts to fit their lifestyles by simply making better decisions. The 10 Week Body Transformation Challenge is a great marketing tool to showcase Navesink Fitness’ commitment to their clients because it actually works. In conjuncture with their anniversary this May, Michael and Rob are offering great deals for families, newcomers, studentathletes and those who are looking to try something different. Clients can enjoy using the facility for a three-month span for $99—no contracts, no membership fees, no hidden charges, no pressure to commit. Although, with certain clients’ results that Navesink Fitness has promoted, fellow gym-goers may want to hold on to their memberships. Michael and Rob Knox have devoted their time to helping clients in a friendly environment without having to charge an arm and leg to do it. Like a salesman who knows his product is the best, Michael looked around the gym and raised his hands towards the equipment. “We have something for everyone,” he concluded.

‘Bullying Pulpit’ addresses the facts for concerned parents By MICHELLE TUCHOL Correspondent

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP — The school year may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean its policies are ineffective. In fact, the 2011-2012 school year will ensure that more stringent actions be taken against bullying for all students as well as train administration in the education system to handle each situation accordingly. Middletown resident Samantha Rossnagel made sure that community members were aware of the NJ Assembly Bill 3466, “The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights.” She also informed those about what exactly bullying means in today’s society at last month’s Bullying Pulpit. The seminar was held at Christ Church as a part of Rossnagel’s Gold Star Award, the highest accolade received by a continuing Girl Scout. As a senior at Biotechnology High School in Freehold Township, Rossnagel is a student who wants everyone to know that bullying, regardless of age, is a serious concern. The term bullying lends itself to any form of abuse; it can be physical, emotional or verbal harassment. What can start with teasing may sometimes escalate into threats and physical harm. leader of 5/13/11 this informational session, 6 1 WORLD As SPLIT 4C MN 3:39 PM Page 1 Rossnagel spoke to attendees concerning bullying, harassment, teasing, and extended the event to speakers who deal with these matters every day.

School counselor Merri Milano and school psychologist Kimberly Keller addressed what exactly goes on in and out of the classroom when they find that a bully is intruding on another student’s personal boundaries. “It starts at a very young age now,” explained Milano, as she spoke not only about aggressive students, but children who appear to be growing up too fast in an advanced society. Milano made note that although it is school policy to take action under these circumstances, she wants parents to know that all discipline should start in the home. Keller and Milano were able to come up with a few simple guidelines on what to do if you or someone you know is being bullied: • Find someone you can trust-talk to someone about the situation. • Get involved-find students you can connect with. • Stay with people who make you feel good. • Be assertive-address the situation by making your feelings known. • Act brave, even though you may not be. The school system has every right to impose detention, suspension and even expulsion from school if a student fails to comply with teachers, counselors’ or other faculty involved in an incident. However, if the issue is unresolved, action can be taken outside the educational system and criminal charges can be issued (depending on the student’s age). That’s when Officer Sean McGraw steps in. As a patrolman for Holmdel Township Police Department, McGraw admitted he’s seen a

great deal of issues concerning bullying, and the number of complaints has grown in the past years. Although the term is slightly outdated, McGraw noted that cyberbullying is becoming more prevalent. “Facebook has become a huge problem with bullying,” McGraw mentioned. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter leave the door wide open for just about anyone to post uncensored comments to friends or threats to possible enemies. Luckily, these sites do monitor online traffic and activity. Even if a post gets taken off the site, there is still a log of everything that was typed, which comes in handy if there were ever harassment charges brought up. Sadly, not every confrontation gets resolved. One of the most recent, and unarguably devastating cases of harassment was that of Rutgers student Tyler Clemente. Clemente, 18, committed suicide last year after two students streamed an online video via webcam of Clemente engaged in gay sexual activity without his knowledge. No bullying of any kind should ever reach this level. Although the education system enforces a “no tolerance policy,” laws that have been passed prior were not as detailed as the new Anti Bullying law that will go into effect next school year. McGraw thoroughly covered what parents can expect for the following school year but pointed out that anyone can read through the entire bill to see the changes made from the

laws and policies of the early 2000s. The bill is lengthy and covers every aspect of the school’s responsibility to keep students safe from bullying, intimidation or harassment. The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act can be viewed at www.njleg.state.nj.us/2010/Bills/ A3500/3466_R1.PDF. Another helpful resource that parents and students can use is the local library. Ellie Strbo, department manager at the Middletown Public Library, was also in attendance at the event. She handed out a list of informative books, magazines and websites geared toward bullying and bullying prevention that can be accessed via the library’s direct website at www.mtpl.org. Strbo encourages students to visit the library often, as she believes it’s a safe haven for those who feel they have nowhere to go if they’re being bullied. Rossnagel, who put a great deal of effort into the Bullying Pulpit project, is an active member of the Girl Scouts. She’s also enrolled in the police explorer program, a youth organization geared towards those who wish to learn more about a possible career in law enforcement. “I’m going to change something!” Rossnagel exclaimed, hoping that her seminar was well received. From the comments and compliments offered by attendees at the event, the Bullying Pulpit was a great way to educate students and parents on keeping the community a safer place.

Ranney School joins

Shore Conference TINTON FALLS BOROUGH — Ranney School has been trying to build up its athletic programs in recent years. Now the private school, located on Hope Road, Tinton Falls, will try to take the next step with its athletic programs as a member of the Shore Conference. The general membership of the Shore Conference recently voted to admit Ranney into the conference. Ranney, which has been in existence since 1960 and has students enrolled from the age of 3 through 12th grade with a 9-12 grade enrollment of 225, will become a member of the conference beginning in the fall of 2012. The Panthers will compete in Class B Central with Asbury Park, Henry Hudson, Keansburg, Keyport, Mater Dei Prep, Point Pleasant Beach and St. Rose, the smallest schools in the conference. Ranney will become the 47th member of the conference. “It definitely gives us legitimacy,” Ranney athletic director Tom Moriau said. “People will know us. I think the people in Monmouth and Ocean counties know who we are, but I don’t know if they know about us. This definitely proves our point that we’re not just an academic school, but that we’re a well-rounded school.” It is an arrangement that makes sense for both Ranney and the Shore Conference. For years, Ranney competed in the independent Patriot Conference, which consisted of 10 similarly sized prep schools, who were not members of the NJSIAA. However, when the NJSIAA realigned some of its conferences in the northern part of the state for the 2009-2010 school year, many members of the Patriot Conference moved into other NJSIAA-

sanctioned conferences. Ranney, which became a member of the NJSIAA in the fall of 2008 and has won three consecutive non-public South B sectional girls tennis championships, was one of only three members left in the Patriot Conference, Moriau said. The NJSIAA website lists Ranney as the only remaining member of the Patriot Conference. “As an athletic director, it’s going to help me out tremendously. This gives us a 14-game schedule in our division (in the sports where each school plays two games against the other schools in its division),” Moriau said. “It also affords me the opportunity to keep some of the ties with some of the independent schools that we have a long history of playing,” Moriau said. “We get the best of both worlds.” Meanwhile, Ranney helps balance out the number of small and large schools in the Shore Conference. “It’s just a good fit,” said Shore Conference president Dave Ryden, who is also the Marlboro athletic director. “If you look at the entire conference, it’s top heavy.” Moriau said Ranney currently fields varsity teams in 23 sports. That includes fencing, and crew, which the Shore Conference does not have. The only sports in which Ranney does not have a program are football, wrestling and ice hockey. Ranney’s facilities include a swimming pool, playing surfaces for soccer that consist of FieldTurf, a brand new track and five brand new tennis courts, Moriau said. “Our facilities are very good,” Moriau said. “We’re excited for people in Monmouth and Ocean counties to come to our campus and enjoy everything we have.”

Laurel Bay arranged for a belly dancer to perform at the surprise 90th birthday party for resident Vito Grande (seated, center).—Photo courtesy Teri O’Brien KEANSBURG BOROUGH — On Friday, April 22, Laurel Bay Health and Rehabilitation Center resident Vito Grande celebrated his 90th birthday with a huge birthday bash. Born and raised in Cliffwood, Grande is a life-long Monmouth County resident. He and his late wife, Mary, of over 60 years raised two children together. Throughout the years, he has enjoyed watching his four grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren grow. Grande is a United States Army veteran that served as a Corporal during World War II. After his years of service, he was a much loved and respected construction foreman. “He was always playing fair and never discriminating among workers,”

his son, Michael, said. In his free time, Grande enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and dancing with his wife. His special day was shared with family, friends, staff and residents of the center. The catered event included some of his all-time favorite Italian foods, such as eggplant parmesan, baked ziti, and sausage and peppers. The highlight of the party included a surprise visit from a belly dancer, who congratulated Grande on this milestone. She captivated the entire audience, especially Grande, whose smile throughout the performance was “priceless.” Everyone at Laurel Bay Health and Rehabilitation Center is eager to celebrate Grande’s birthday again next year.

J

t the Hazlet Township Committee meeting on May 17, the Mayor and Township Committee were presented with an award from representatives from the NJ State Chiefs of Police and the New Jersey Police Accreditation Commission signifying that the police department has achieved both state accreditation and national recognition. Accreditation is a voluntary process where the police department undergoes a full examination of its functions, training, rules, regulations, and policies in comparison to accepted best practices and national standards. The standards address life, health and safety issues, legal and other critical requirements, and conditions that reduce major risk and high liability exposures. Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping law enforcement agencies calculate and improve their overall performance. Accreditation increases the law enforcement agency’s ability to prevent and control crime through a more effective and efficient delivery of law enforcement services to the community it serves. The Accreditation Program is adminis-

tered by The NJ State Association of Chiefs of Police in conjunction with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), the national agency responsible for assessing law enforcement agencies. As part of the process the Hazlet Township Police Department was subjected to an on-site inspection in October 2010 by representatives from the NJ Police Accreditation Commission which examined the department’s compliance with 112 national standards. Having the police department accredited benefits township residents by insuring that the department is functioning according to best practices. Taxpayers benefit as accredited police agencies see substantially reduced costs for liability insurance. The Hazlet Police Department is only the third police department in Monmouth County to achieve accreditation, and only one of about 50 in the state. There are over 100 additional police agencies within the state currently working through the process to become accredited. The initial accreditation is good for a three year period.

FEMA Flood Insurance Updates T he Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) operates the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a plan that provides assistance to flood victims in participating communities. Under the NFIP, a community may elect to participate in the Community Rating System (CRS), a ranking program that recognizes communities which meet and exceed the minimum flood protection standards. Hazlet Township is a CRS Participant. The CRS rewards communities that exceed minimum flood protection standards by offering lower insurance premiums based on a ranking system. Hazlet Township expects to know the discount applicable to our CRS activities in the near future. Ten CRS Classifications are offered to communities. Class 1 requires the most points from the ranking system and offers the highest insurance premium reductions, while Class 10 is given to communities which do not meet the minimum requirements or do not apply to CRS. In order to be eligible for the CRS program, communities must be registered with the NFIP for at least one year. CRS awards points to communities based on 18 creditable activities in four categories, described as follows. 1. Public Information • Maintain FEMA elevation certificates for all new construction • Respond to inquiries to identify a property’s Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) zone • Send information about flood hazards, insurance, and protection measures to the

public • Require Real Estate Agents to advise purchasers of floodprone properties • Maintain flood insurance and protection references at the Public Library • Provide property owners technical advice on flood protection

2. Mapping and Regulatory • Develop new floodway delineations or other regulatory flood hazard data for an area not mapped in the flood insurance study, or base such data on a higher state or local standard • Preserve open space by guaranteeing a portion of currently available floodplain will be kept free from development menu o • Develop higher regulatory standards for freeboard, soil testing, compensatory storage, or zoning • Develop and maintain computerized flood or property data, base maps and maintain elevation reference marks • Manage stormwater to ensure postdevelopment runoff is no worse than pre-development runoff. 3. Flood Damage Reduction • Prepare, adopt and implement a comprehensive plan • Acquire or relocate floodprone buildings • Document floodproofed or elevated preFIRM buildings • Conduct inspections and maintenance of channels and retention basins 4. Flood Preparedness • Provide early flood warnings and flood response plan to public • Maintain levees not credited with base flood protection

BBBS PROFILE

Matt Burke and Antonio Big Brother Matt Burke and his Little Brother Antonio began their friendship in 2000 and have seen it grow over the past 11 years. Matt was a single guy when he reached out to Big Brothers Big Sisters to mentor a child in need of a positive influence. As the years passed, he got married and he and his wife had twins, but Matt still devoted time to mentor his Little Brother. Antonio is now a senior in high school and was recently accepted to SUNY Maritime in the fall which was his top choice of colleges. When he found out, he texted Matt right away to share his great news! Matt and Antonio have enjoyed many activities over the years and they have also participated in BBBS events as ambassadors for the program. In 2009, they spoke at the annual Matching Smiles Gala at Spring Lake Golf Club and the audience of almost 200 were moved to both laughter and tears at the stories they told. Last summer, they golfed in the Charles LaFitte Foundation’s charity golf outing to benefit BBBS and again spoke from the heart about the great times they’ve had together. There’s no doubt that a lifelong friendship was created and we are proud to have Matt and Antonio as part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Talking, playing games, participating in a community event, riding bikes, helping with homework or baking a cake are some of the ways to spend time with a Little Brother or Sis-

ter and it only requires a few hours of your time each month. The agency has over 40 children waiting for a mentor so call 732-544-2224 or visit www.bbbsmmc.org today to find out more about being a Big. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties is a donor supported volunteer agency. BBBSMMC serves children ages 6 to 17 years through one-to-one mentoring and expects to serve at least 550 kids in 2011.

Adorable Adoptables SKIDDER is a sweet gentleman who has been in the shelter for almost two years. He is a little shy at first but once he knows you, he is very friendly and affectionate. He loves to sit in your lap. Since Skidder has been living in the shelter for over a year, he qualifies for our "upperclassman" promotion, so his adoption fee is half price!

ROCKY is a 2 year old Labrador Retriever. He is a handsome guy! Rocky loves other dogs. He is super friendly and smart and lived with children in his previous home. He enjoys playing with toys and balls, and he knows his commands.

Moose Moore has gotten free and is roaming around the Bayshore area. Do you recognize where Moose is? Help us find Moose by emailing his location to pets@mycommunitypublications.com. Please put “Where’s Moose?” in the subject line.

Everyone who responds will receive a “Where’s Moose Moore?” Tshirt, courtesy of Community Publications and Market ME Printing in Hazlet. One random correct response will also receive a special prize.

Last month:

The grand prize winner, Sandra C. Duncan, knew that Moose was at the NY Waterways terminal in Belford.

PATRICK is a sweet 4-year old boy. He has been in the shelter for over a year and a half. He is affectionate, playful and loving and is good with dogs. Since Patrick has been in the shelter for over a year, he qualifies for our half-price "upperclassman" adoption fee promotion.

tects you and will enhance possible prosecution of violators if necessary. 4. Use a combination of fences and stickery bush shrubs to delineate your property line. Often you can have a fence around the property that is short to comply with local laws and have stickery shrubs still on your property line, inside or outside of the perimeter fencing. 5. Always have a clear perimeter around your house between the perimeter fencing/shrubbery and the house itself. This allows you or your camera system (if you have one) to view people who scale your perimeter fence or shrubs before they are close to your house. This also often causes potential trespassers to stay away because they do not want to be seen approaching your house. 6. Consider security lighting, in compliance with your community’s rules or ordinances that allows you to silhouette someone approaching your house from your perimeter property line. Motion detector flood lights are a good product. 7. Never have heavy shrubs or wooded areas from your property line up to your house. This would allow someone to se-

cretly come onto your property and break into your house undetected by moving to and from your house under the concealment of the shrubs or woods. 8. If your house is on the water, consider the possibility of theft or assault of your family from the water side. If on the water, I suggest the use of intense sticker bushes close together with a fence concealed in the bushes. You also can install sensors that alert you that someone is approaching your house from the water side. If you have your own dock, install a lockable gate and fence to deter someone from easily getting onto your property. If you have a dock, either have a bulk head or rocks with a fence that keeps small boats from pulling up on a beach and having easy access into your property and eventually your house. 9. Obtain a “threat assessment” from a professional, a law enforcement or civilian consultant. Some large police department may do surveys for free for their residents. Next time, I will discuss what you personally can do to keep yourself safe. Frederick Rast is a business owner and mayor in Atlantic Highlands.

For Medicare and private health example, assume that Mr. insurance do not pay for longSmith gives his son his car, term care costs. Only Medicaid worth $5,000. Mr. Smith has pays for long-term care costs, but made a $5,000 uncompensated Medicaid is only available to a transfer. Assume that Mr. person who has a limited amount By Smith sells his house, worth of assets. Because Medicaid is only JOHN CALLINAN $100,000, to his son for $50,000. Mr. Smith has made available to individuals who have a limited amount of resources, Medicaid a $50,000 uncompensated transfer. If Mr. punishes people who dispose of their assets Smith owned a $30,000 bank account jointly in an attempt to impoverish themselves arti- with his son, and Mr. Smith’s name was reficially. Medicaid looks at all uncompen- moved from the account, a $30,000 transfer sated transfers that an individual made within would have occurred. Medicaid aggregates all transfers that oca certain period of time prior to applying for curred during the lookback period. So, for Medicaid. This period of time is called the lookback instance, if Mr. Smith made a $2,000 uncomperiod. Prior to February 2006, the lookback pensated transfer in each of the years precedperiod was three years. Now, the lookback ing the date of application, Medicaid would period is five years. What this means is that aggregate all five of those transfers and punwhen an individual applies for Medicaid, the ish Mr. Smith for having made a $10,000

transfer. Medicaid punishes an applicant by making him ineligible for Medicaid benefits. The more valuable the uncompensated transfer, the longer the period of ineligibility. Medicaid calculates the period of ineligibility by taking the value of the uncompensated transfer and dividing that figure by a divisor number. The current divisor number is $7,282, which is supposed to represent the average cost of a nursing home room. The $7,282 figure is set by the State, and the State likes to keep the divisor number artificially low, because the lower the divisor figure the longer the period of ineligibility that results for an uncompensated transfer. So, for instance, if Mr. Smith transferred $72,000 during the lookback period, he would be ineligible for approximately 10 months. If Mr. Smith transferred $144,000, he would be ineligible for approximately 20 months. If a person has made any uncompensated transfers during the lookback period, a penalty will be assessed based upon the aggregate of all transfers made during the lookback period, and only if the applicant receives all of the transferred money back will Medicaid eliminate the penalty. So, if

Mr. Smith transferred $144,000 during the lookback period, a 20 month penalty would be assessed. If Mr. Smith received $140,000 of this money back, Medicaid would still assess a 20 month penalty. Only if Mr. Smith received all of the money back would the penalty be eliminated. So, what is the lesson to be learned: Plan early. People typically need care when they are in their 80s, so I suggest that people begin transferring assets when they are around 70 years of age. By transferring assets early, the person can avoid the lookback on those transfers so Medicaid cannot assess a penalty. I do not, however, necessarily recommend transferring assets to children directly. Giving a child your money exposes the money to all of the child’s potential problems: divorce, death, creditors. Many of these issues can be avoided with the proper use of a trust. John W.
