Dear Class of 2020, A global pandemic. Certainly not what you were anticipating for your graduation. Memorable, sure, but something you never expected. Whether you graduated from high school or college, your sights were set on days with friends, time with proud family, and a sense of accomplishment mixed with hope for the future. But in an odd, truly ironic way, this is an amazing lesson on what your future will hold – uncertainty. Life rarely turns out the way you expect. Change IS the only constant. And all of that is good news because it means the person you are today, at this moment, doesn’t need to have all the answers. It means the only thing you really need is to always move forward, whether as expected or not. Perhaps the most famous Commencement speech in history, also the shortest, was given by Sir Winston Churchill in 1941 at Harrow School, his alma mater prep school. “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.”

“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.” Sir Churchill’s speech is often misquoted as “Never, ever, ever give up.” Either way, the message is the same. Challenges will come. Disappointments will arise. Fear will sit with you. Sadness will too. The world will sometimes be unrecognizable. You will lose people you love. And through it all, if you never give in and never give up, you will find a way over, around, through the

challenges. You will meet disappointment with hope and conviction. You will face fear and find faith and compassion. Your sadness will become joy. And no matter what the world evolves to be, you will be prepared to find a way to live in it and succeed at whatever you deem success to be. Some call it failing forward, others call it dancing through life… three steps forward, two steps back. Setbacks are setups for finding a better way. Some days you’ll want to stay in bed, other days you’ll be anxious to find the highest mountain and reach the summit. That’s where Sir Churchill’s “good sense” comes in. Be gentle with yourself and others and know when you need a rest. If you learn the difference between a temporary setback, a need for rest, and being derailed entirely you’ll know when it’s okay to spend an afternoon lounging and when it’s time to make yourself motivated. Motivation is a byproduct of effort, not the other way around. Right now you may feel like this has all been too much, too many things have happened out of your control. But now is the time to motivate yourself for what comes next. To control what you can. Get excited for your future. Know that if you set your goals and work on them, daily, you will find your way. The circumstances surrounding your achievement weren’t the norm or what you wanted, but the outcome is the same. Graduation is a stepping stone to your next success. So, dear graduate, your disappointment is noted and shared. You missed out on some of the more traditional memories: the yearbook signing, the proms, the final hugs from your teachers and mentors. But, you did move forward. You didn’t give in, you didn’t give up – and whether your diploma was earned in person or online, you graduated. You faced the disappointment of unmet expectations. You overcame the sadness of missing out on those last fun weeks with your friends at school. You found a way to celebrate despite the face masks and social distancing. This has made you stronger, wiser, and hopefully more aware of what truly matters. Never give in. Never give up. Honor your convictions. Practice good sense. And know your community is incredibly proud of you.

From All of Us at CM, Congratulations!

Meet Your Neighbor Local Hero:

Joan Valentino

Joan, left, with her family at last year’s Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Race for 9/11 victims.

By Cathy Padilla

A former nurse at Meridian Nursing & Rehabilitation, she currently lives in Lincroft and has worked at King Manor Care & Rehabilitation Center since 2015. On the front lines during the pandemic, she has had to leave her husband and three children to live in a nearby hotel. Meet your neighbor, a local hero, Joan Valentino. CM: What has the COVID experience been like? Can you share some insights? Joan: I was treating a patient that I was especially close to, the family has given me permission to use her name, Marlyn Carter. She was only 66-years-old and had underlying issues when she contracted the COVID virus. As she became deathly ill, her relatives did not want to go into her room for fear of getting the virus themselves. The other nurses and I on duty were able to let them say their goodbyes through the side window in her room, as her room was on the first floor with a window facing the street. For this brief moment in time that became the most important thing to do. We helped this family have their last goodbye and it was one of the most difficult things that I have done during this crisis. I think of Marlyn and her family every day and miss her. CM: How are you coping with all the emotions at this time? Joan: At this time, with the excessive hours I have been working every day, I have not had the time to dwell on my emotions. I focus on the day-to-day crisis. I might be coping in this way. CM: You have been away from your family for more than five weeks, what is that experience like? Joan: I miss them, but they are safe at home. My two girls miss the things that only a mother can help with, and I miss doing day-to-day things with them. My son is a very independent boy who is currently a STAR Scout with Troop 246 in Lincroft. He is working toward his goal of being an Eagle Scout. He texts me, and I call him when I can. I have missed Easter, Mother’s Day, and a birthday during this time, so my sacrifice is also affecting my children. My husband is more than capable of taking over the day-to-day responsibilities, I miss him and his support. We have not been able to speak frequently as our schedules are not in

sync with each other. I also miss having any personal time to decompress from the demands of nursing, as we basically work and go back to the hotel to sleep. CM: Why did you agree to make such personal sacrifices for your job? Joan: I decided to do this for this period in time as we were understaffed and I have 24 years of experience in long-term care facilities. The patients you care for become part of your extended family. I was not worried about myself, and I knew my family, with my husband’s care, would be alright and safe. CM: What is the most rewarding part of your job? Joan: The relationships that I am able to develop with the patients and their loved ones. CM: What is the most challenging part of what you do? Joan: Dealing with the emotions when a patient is dying and you are preparing to say your final goodbyes. CM: Do you have a health tip for our readers? Joan: Wash your hands frequently. CM: Do you have a favorite quote or mantra that helps you through? Joan: Be kind and considerate and remember everyone has feelings and expresses themselves differently! CM: Who has most influenced your career or life? Joan: My husband, Joe, who has always been very supportive and encouraging through the good and the not so good. CM: Is there anything you would like our readers to know about the pandemic? Joan: Do not believe everything you read on the Internet, and don’t be influenced by politicians or political commentators on the news. They all have an agenda and are using their platform to influence you. Be informed and be proactive with your health, and in your community. COVID-19 should not be about politics, it is about life and death and what we can do to save lives.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

In the earliest years of the HIV epidemic, confusion and fear reigned, and when individuals received any health advice, it was to avoid high risk people and activities (sound familiar?). Then, in 1983, a document was published on “How to Exist in an Epidemic.” It recognized the needs in people and rejected abstinence as an approach, as well as provided guidance and recommendations on which activities had low and high risks. Asking Americans to abstain from nearly all in-person social contact will not hold this virus at bay, especially as the weather in NY/ NJ region (Ground Zero again) gets warmer. People can only shelter in place for so long, particularly when they don’t see direct benefits from doing so. #StayHome had its moment. The leadership needed to flatten the curve, and buy time to scale up healthcare capacity, testing, and contact tracing. But now, quarantine fatigue is real. People are beginning to experience the profound burden of distancing. In addition to economic hardship, it causes damage to one’s well-being, especially for people who were already vulnerable, depressed, or anxious before this chaos started a mere 12 weeks ago. In a recent poll by the Kaiser Foundation, nearly half of Americans said that this pandemic has harmed their mental health. We all agree that a premature return would be disastrous. We lack the capacity and clarity of testing as antibody results suggest that the majority of the population is still susceptible to catching this thing. A vaccine is months, maybe years away. New cases continue to mount, with thousands of people dying each day, and those numbers will inevitably increase if we “go back” too quickly – I get it. A few weeks ago, The General Store in Colts Neck was featured in both the Asbury Park Press and the Star Ledger. The owner, Mary, spent some smart effort and hard money to follow the “guidelines”. She constructed a walk-up window, repointed masonry, and set up “socially distant” outdoor seating. It was a beacon in the tempest, and a wonderful light shined on a gray situation; we were thrilled when it appeared in the papers. Only days later, someone from “the governor’s office” saw the article, proceeded to call the local police department, and the congregating was shut down. It was completely discouraging and heartbreaking. It was also a perfect example of the lack of clear rules (how-to), as well as over generalized and over-arching my-

opic authority. The choice between separating indefinitely and returning to “business as usual” is gray. RISK IS NEVER BINARY! A distancing strategy deprives people of an understanding of how to reduce their risk and stigmatizes anything else. We’ve seen “pandemic shaming” directed at those violating social-distancing rules. Photos of crowded beaches and videos of people at indoor parties make us feel as if they’re watching coronavirus spread real-time. History has shown that shaming doesn’t eliminate risky behavior; it drives it underground. The 1983 “HOW TO GUIDE” gave people information and tools to lower their risk. There are always a subset of people that are going to take risks, whether experts want them to or not. Instead of condemnation, we should offer strategies to minimize risks. This approach meets humans and personalities where they are, and acknowledges that individual situations exist and personal-level decisions are capable of being made. Experts need to help the public differentiate between low risk and high risk activities. Enclosed and crowded settings especially with prolonged and close contact, have the highest risk, while casual outdoor settings seem to be much lower risk. We need information on redesigning spaces to reduce crowding, increase ventilation, and promote physical distancing as we live our lives mitigating, not eliminating, risk. People seek and need human contact outside of their households perhaps because of intense loneliness, anxiety, or a desire for pleasure. The decision to gather in a park with friends may be “disallowed”, but for some, the low risk of transmission may be outweighed by the benefits of human connection, exercise, and being outdoors. Experts need to accept that some people will choose to engage in high risk activities, and instead of shaming, we can provide everyone with information on how to reduce harm. Want to see your grandkids? Plan a party? Meet up outside. Don’t share food or drinks. Wear masks. Keep your hands clean. And stay home if you’re sick. The U.S. is in the midst of an infectious-disease crisis that has wrought global, economic, and medical damage with no end in sight. What Americans need now is a “HOW TO GUIDE” on how to have a life in a pandemic. If no one provides it, each of us will figure it out on our own, which is why we feel so fatigued. What sense does that make? Godspeed, Greg Throughout history, “The Table” symbolically represents a center of ideas, spirituality, family, discussion, and education. Our “Table” setting follows this theme for friends and readers. REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE… KEEP IT SAFE and KEEP IT SIMPLE.

From Mobsters to Spies, This Day in Monmouth County History By Cathy Padilla

There’s a new, fun website dedicated to Monmouth County history founded by Little Silver resident John Barrows. The website, MonmouthTimeline.org, presents an illustrated history of Monmouth County and highlights some of the most important events, people, and places through a series of graphic features called “This Day in Monmouth County History”. Much of the content is exclusive, including a 14-part series on mob boss Vito Genovese and his wife and their life and times in Monmouth. There is also a three-part series on Thomas Alva Edison and his brief time in our area. While still a work in progress, the site boasts nearly 200 stories, with 18 categories such as Crime, Heroes & Celebrities, Revolutionary War, Ships & Shipwrecks, and Landmarks. Originally from Cape Cod, a region rich in history, Barrows is passionate about the history of whatever region he calls home. “I have been blessed to live in Monmouth County for more than 25 years now,” said Barrows. “My career was in corporate communications, essentially serving as the head writer for Fortune 500 companies, handling CEO letters and presentations, media inquiries, employee news, etc. I retired in 2016, and since have been a volunteer at several local historical organizations including the Monmouth County Historical Association (MCHA). While serving as a museum docent, I became immersed in their amazing libraries and came to realize that the history of this region is far greater, richer, and deeper than I’d realized. I was helping them with public relations and social media content and started creating graphic features of ‘This Day in Monmouth County History’. But MCHA was getting ready for a solid year of exclusive Bruce Springsteen programming, so they were not interested in a historical timeline project. I had a choice of waiting or doing it myself. I truly love MCHA and the people there, but I felt this would never get off the ground if I had to wait. I’ve been in touch with them since launch, and they are cool with the whole thing.” Having had a career that included overseeing the creation of numerous websites, Barrows had a lot of experience to draw on to develop his own site. He established a small team of local talent, hiring web developer Dennis Romano, a graphic designer to create the logo, and an

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

Intellectual Property attorney. Loaded with 150 stories, Monmouth Timeline launched on January 1, 2020 and has added nearly 50 more stories since. An audience for the site is growing steadily, and Shipwrecks and Celebrities seem to be the most popular content categories. Barrows provides sourcing for all the stories and tries to never single-source. “The Monmouth County Clerk’s office is an amazing resource,” said Barrows. “The MCHA libraries as well. There are so many stories yet to be written, and I hope that others will want to get involved. I am running this as a non-profit organization, as an educational resource. I feel as though this timeline can grow for years to come. It’s a place where students can get articles published, or where people can just have fun finding out what happened on this date or another.” Barrows most enjoys the feedback he gets on social media. “What’s most fun is when I post a graphic and people share their own personal memories of events or people. That’s the sweet spot of doing this,” said Barrows. “I just added a new five-part series on the U.S. Life-Saving Service, and am at present working on a timeline of the soviet spies at Fort Monmouth, Julius Rosenberg and Joe McCarthy and that amazing saga. I am having so much fun doing this, I barely know there’s a quarantine going on.” Barrows invites CM readers to share with him what stories they would like to see next and what aspects of regional history hold the greatest appeal.

Morgan Stanley Awards Generous Grant in Recognition of NJSYO Volunteer Angie Chen

Angie Chen (second from right) with her family.

Community volunteers are often unsung heroes. That’s not the case with Holmdel resident Aiqiong (Angie) Chen. Chen, who has devoted many hours to helping the New Jersey State Youth Orchestra provide outstanding community music education, was recently recognized with the Morgan Stanley Foundation by a generous grant. As an IT Vice President who recently marked her 20-year work anniversary, Chen feels that career development and community service go hand-in-hand. Her employer, Morgan Stanley, has long been known for its emphasis on work-life balance and volunteerism. Through its efforts, communities around the world benefitted from hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours in 2019 alone. The Morgan Stanley Foundation also supports local nonprofits through its grant program. In many ways, the foundation and the New Jersey State Youth Orchestra are a natural fit.

For more than 40 years, the NJSYO has offered opportunities for young people to work with professional musicians and music educators. Ms. Chen’s experience with the NJSYO began when her middle child, Daniel Lin (trombone) joined the group. Daniel’s incredibly positive experience, combined with the warm welcome of the group’s musical directors, coaches, and board, led his siblings, Benjamin (flute) and Jenna (violin), to join. As Ms. Chen affirms, “Witnessing their growing interest in music, the touching and unforgettable performances, and the joy and satisfaction that audiences express, I am very glad that we made the decision.” Chen also voices her admiration for the NJSYO’s Board President Gayle Topper, “one of the most dedicated board presidents she has ever met,” and Maestro Ben Ringer, “the most energetic music director” she has ever seen. Indeed, the New Jersey State Youth Orchestra could not run without a highly organized, enthusiastic team. Ms. Chen counts herself fortunate to work closely with them and has served as event flow manager, photographer, and computer technician, among other important roles. Community service seems to run in the family. Chen’s oldest son, Benjamin Lin, is currently offering free tutoring for beginner flute and piano students during this time when so many are stuck indoors. The Plato quote on his website—“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything”—says it all. Ms. Chen is very grateful for the Morgan Stanley Foundation’s generous grant, which will support the New Jersey State Youth Orchestra’s further growth and, in turn, help it to serve more music-loving children and extend its outreach to more communities.

In-Home Social Distancing We are all living with numerous added sources of stress these days. Some people have lost jobs. Some have health or life-threatening jobs. Children are home twenty-four hours a day. Home schooling still has several weeks to go. Hospitals are over extended. And, people are getting very sick. Some are dying. When these stressors are added to the emotional upheaval that inevitably comes with the deterioration of a marriage it can create the potential for disaster. Lost income can mean the inability to pay bills, which can trigger the loss of assets or, at least, the very real fear that assets could be lost. The financial crisis that began in 2008 led to record numbers of mortgage foreclosures, a record that is surely in jeopardy now. And, while all these added factors contribute to worry and concern,

spouses who no longer love each other, like each other, or trust each other are forced, by stay-at-home orders, to live under the same roof. In these situations, it is not only important to socially distance when outside the home, it is vitally important to socially distance inside the home. Keep a safe distance from your spouse – physically if your home is large enough. Or, at least, emotionally if it isn’t. Keep communication to a minimum to try to reduce opportunities for discord. Do your best to overlook your spouse’s failings while sharing tight quarters. Now is not the time to argue over domestic workloads, payment of non-essential bills, or marital infidelities. Arguing over issues like that unnecessarily adds fuel to a smoldering powder keg and invites disaster. Obviously, avoiding disaster requires both parties to accept a temporary

détente, a truce, and that is often too much to expect. Therefore, you should always put health and safety first – yours and the children’s – always. Do not tolerate domestic abuse. Call the police when necessary. On the other hand, resist the urge to lash out at your spouse, no matter how tense things get. Walk away. Put on a mask and go outside if necessary. The consequences of being a domestic abuser (even if only verbal) aren’t worth the momentary satisfaction or relief that comes with such an explosion. It just isn’t worth it. And what message would it convey to your children? It’s not easy, but stay calm. Keep your distance. Hold your tongue. And keep your hands to yourself. In the long run it will keep a very bad situation from becoming a disaster. You’ll look back and be glad you did.

It’s not easy to be a human being...

we are here to help you face life’s challenges We are available for video consultation.

BEING HUMAN A Healthy Body Rests on a Healthy Mind The Covid 19 pandemic has impacted all of us. All families are feeling varying levels of stress. Each person in our family needs to adjust to the “new reality”, and this may be more challenging for some. We know that health requires a flexible and adaptable mind and body.

4. Sleep problems. Those experiencing excessive worry or sadness often find it difficult to fall asleep. This may be because after the busyness of the day is over, they are left without distraction from worrying thoughts. Further, they may have restless sleep marked by periodic waking.

Those that may have been struggling before the pandemic may be at greater risk as the crisis continues to unfold. To support our families in uncertain times, it is helpful to take an “emotional temperature check”.

5. Behavioral problems. Irritability, excessive aggression, and increased conflict with spouse or siblings are unfortunately on the rise for some households. Some have exhibited drug and alcohol abuse, and for teens in particular, increased use of vaping nicotine and marijuana.

Here are 6 signs of stress and depression reactions to look for indicating a family member may need professional attention: 1. Always worrying. Those individuals who have minds that are always racing may fixate on virus-related worries and insecurities. They may get lost in “what ifs”. They may have feelings of being overwhelmed and powerless. 2. Physical symptoms that are unexplained by illness. Prolonged stress reactions often manifest in physical symptoms. Muscle tension, headaches, back pain and gastrointestinal issues are all common with significant anxiety. 3. Problems with cognitions. Difficulty concentrating and problems completing online driven school instruction are certainly common. Some children have experienced a much lower frustration tolerance and increased irritability, as well as difficulties avoiding distractions to completing academic work.

Jeff Ellias-Frankel, Ph.D George Asfendis, Psy.D

6. Overdependence on screens and electronic stimulation. Reliance on technology has soared as real-life meetings have declined. As adults and children spend time on phones, tablets and computers, we are seeing the dark side of technology. How much video game/phone time is too much? Signs of video game addiction include thinking about gaming all the time, increased irritability when removed from games, decreased enjoyment of activities formerly liked, and needing to spend more time playing to feel good. Unproductive worry and persistent sadness are not inevitable results of the pandemic...help is available if anxiety or depression are limiting any family member’s ability to cope. If a family member is experiencing any of the above symptoms lasting for more than 2 weeks, it may be time to reach out for professional consultation. Provided by Colts Neck Consulting Group.

Daniella Appolonia A Colts Neck native since 1999, she just released her first children’s book. Meet your neighbor, Daniella Appolonia. What I do: For ten years I’ve worked as a copywriter in the pharmaceutical advertising industry for agencies in New Jersey and New York City. This May, I released my first children’s book, I Am Daphne. About my book: The book is currently available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. I Am Daphne is the story of a young girl who spends her childhood feeling different because she’s small. Despite wishing and hoping, and her best efforts to change her height, Daphne learns a surprising lesson from her mother about where her name comes from and the power behind its meaning. It’s recommended for children ages four to eight. But I like to think it is enjoyable for adults as well, who may be reading it to their younger children. I think sometimes even grownups might need a reminder to embrace what makes them unique. What sets my book apart from others in the genre: The story is a reflection of some of my own life experiences. I think it covers some issues that other children may experience as they grow up and begin to learn more about the world around them. Why I decided to be an author: I’ve loved books for as long as I can remember. My parents always encouraged my passion for reading and writing, so I am beyond lucky to have always had that support and space to be creative. When I was a baby, my dad used to lay me on his belly and read to me for hours, so I owe a lot to him! I think the cadence of the words read out loud was always so soothing to me. Authors who have inspired me: I have always been incredibly inspired by Shel Silverstein, and his writing had a huge impact on me, and still does. I always knew I wanted to do something with writing, but I didn’t really set out to be an author, so when inspiration struck I just sort of went with it. The most rewarding part of being an author: Setting the story free and sharing your words with someone else and seeing their reaction. The last month or so I’ve received so many videos of young children reading I Am Daphne out loud, or pictures of children

My challenges during the writing process: I faced many unexpected challenges, but there were also obstacles I knew I’d have to face when writing and publishing. I actually didn’t seek to self-publish initially, but after more than a dozen rejections from publishing companies (I actually hung the letters on my fridge for motivation), I still felt so strongly that I had to tell this story, so I looked into my other options. I think when you face a roadblock, you have to be committed to finding another way—there usually is one. Self-publishing is incredibly empowering, but so much of creating a book and marketing falls on your shoulders—suddenly I wasn’t just a writer, I was an editor, a project manager, a website designer, a social media specialist, and a marketer. There are so many hats you have to wear. But I think putting all of that work in for so many years gave me a true appreciation for the final product and the work I had to do to get there. My best writing tip for aspiring writers: I’d like to think practice makes perfect, and the more you write the better you will become, but I think there is also power in knowing when what you’ve written is good enough, and ready to be let out into the world. I think as writers we naturally tinker with words incessantly and try to make each sentence perfect, not knowing when to stop. That definitely happened with I Am Daphne. After a certain point, and thanks to many of my encouraging editor friends, you just have to have faith you’ve done the best you can and that is good enough. The people who have most influenced me: My parents. They are incredibly entrepreneurial, industrious, and creative. They always instilled in me the value of hard work—and that I could accomplish whatever I set my mind to. My favorite quote: To take it back to Shel Silverstein, “Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” You can learn more about I Am Daphne on Instagram @iamdaphne_ book or visiting iamdaphnebook.com.

A Message from the Holmdel Mayor There is no doubt that the 2020 summer will be like nothing we have experienced before. The extraordinary circumstances imposed on us by the novel coronavirus require us all to make sacrifices in order to protect the greater good. While all indicators are moving in the right direction, I still want to remind everyone that we are not out of the woods yet and we need to continue to follow safe social distancing guidelines. This is the only way that we will be able to continue to lift restrictions while still keeping our community safe. I have said before that true character comes through in times of great challenge and controversy. There is no greater example of this than the Holmdel community. I am truly humbled by the kindness and generosity of Holmdel’s residents and businesses throughout the pandemic so far. From tens of thousands of dollars in financial contributions to our front-line teams, to thousands of items of PPE donations, to hundreds of cheer cards for those who must remain physically distant and those medical professionals who answered my call for assistance at the hospital. Even those who have been checking on their neighbors and helping out have truly made a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The novel coronavirus is a phenomenon that we did not anticipate and we had to quickly adapt at Town Hall. I want to thank the entire Holmdel Team for doing so quickly and with as little interruption as possible. We were able to continue remote service to our residents by making changes in the way we manage business. You can find a guide on how to save the trip to town hall on our website in our coronavirus resources tab. We have kept our parks open throughout the crisis to encourage healthy, socially distant activity. The Department of Public Works adjusted our large item drop off program to be in conformance with State guidelines and on the first day of this amended program we serviced more families than any previous day of the program. Our Recreation Department had to cancel traditional recreation programs but they continue to develop a number of safe activities and programs designed to be done virtually from home. The Township Committee extended the grace period for property tax collection in order to ease the stress on our residents on the day the Governor’s Executive Order allowed us to do so. We remain committed to providing the highest level of service to Holmdel’s residents. I want to encourage everyone to continue supporting Holmdel’s local businesses who still are providing a service, you can find a listing on our website. In closing, please keep up your safety measures, we are all in this together. I look forward to seeing everyone as things continue to open. Until then, remember, stay home, stay healthy and stay safe. Mayor Greg Buontempo mayor@holmdeltownship.com | 732.946.2820

Homeless Veterans Community Coming to Tinton Falls By Susan Murphy A projected opening for a four-story facility that will offer 70 homeless Monmouth County veterans a permanent place to live is set for August or September of 2021. The facility will be called The Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Community named after Gordon H. Mansfield, former Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs and a highly decorated Army veteran of two tours of duty in Vietnam. The facility will be located on 11 vacant acres adjacent to the Seabrook Village retirement community on Essex Road in Tinton Falls. The estimated cost of the entire project is $14.7 million. The non-profit nationally recognized organization, Soldier On, which is located in Massachusetts, will oversee the work for this project. Soldier On is committed to ending veterans homelessness and has been providing homeless veterans with transitional housing and supportive services since 1994. This organization came to the attention of Donald Burry, a retired Coast Guard Captain and he shared the information with his wife, Freeholder Lillian Burry, who is also the county’s representative on the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA). Lillian Burry thought the housing community would be a great addition to Fort Monmouth’s redevelopment. Freeholder Burry reached out to U.S. Rep. Chris Smith to ask for his guidance and once he gave his support she and Monmouth County Administrator Teri O’Connor headed to Trenton to discuss their request for grant money with New Jersey Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver. Freeholder Burry was also pleased to receive support

from county prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni, who was born on Fort Monmouth and is a U.S. Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan. Others who were instrumental in bringing the Soldier On project to Tinton Falls were voting FMERA member and former Tinton Falls mayor Gerald Turning and former borough council president Gary Baldwin, who resides in the Seabrook Village Retirement community. Although all nonessential construction has been halted by Governor Phil Murphy, in an effort to slow down the spread of the coronavirus, this affordable housing facility is considered an essential service. The approximate date for groundbreaking is possibly the end of August. Freeholder Burry has already arranged for resident transportation assistance for the veterans through the county’s SCAT program. Residents who will occupy this facility will be from a variety of outreach efforts and referrals from social service organizations. Soldier On Board President Jack Downing said that the services that are offered to veterans from Soldier On include housing, clothing, and food, as well as vocational education and skill development. He noted that most of the veterans are lost in their lives and are looking for direction. It is the hope of everyone involved in this project that the homeless veterans who will reside at this facility will finally enjoy healthy and productive lives in homes they can call their own. “We are changing the end of the story for homeless veterans by providing permanent housing and extensive support services. It will be an environment that offers dignity, integrity, and hope,” said Freeholder Burry.

Freeholder Director Urges Beachgoers to “Know Before You Go” The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders held a recent press conference in Belmar to advise residents and visitors planning on heading to the beach this summer to “Know Before You Go,” which emphasizes the importance of beachgoers researching badge sales and parking information before traveling to their destination. Shore municipalities have begun implementing new rules and regulations as New Jersey continues to flatten the curve of COVID-19.

Alan Zaccaria, MD, FACS Here Comes the Sun by George Harrison was heard again and again over the PA system at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. A snippet of the song was used to celebrate Covid-19 patients who were discharged or removed from ventilators. It is a favorite song of Colts Neck resident, Alan Zaccaria, MD, FACS, a Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, and now Medical Director of Case Management and Utilization at the hospital. Dr. Zaccaria has another talent--music--and has been playing that song since the eighth grade. As a tribute to the health care workers on the front lines, and with the help of his daughter, Bethany, he played the song on a YouTube video. It was enjoyed by many of the staff members and administrators of the hospital, and one of the ICU nurses, Kelly Sattler, inquired about substituting his recording on the hospital PA system. The hospital embraced the idea of having “one of their own” contributing to the celebration. With the assistance of his son, Ben, a high quality audio recording was created, with an added harmony track. Last month, the 500th Covid-19 patient was discharged. This time, Dr. Zaccaria performed the song live to accompany the customary Team Clap-Out to celebrate the milestone. It was very well-received and he was even asked to pose for a picture with one of the respiratory therapists, who became a big fan. “I still laugh at that, but am honored to have a fan club of one!” Dr. Zaccaria shared.

Solis Couture At Solis Couture, while all businesses were closed, Jessie Solis, owner, used her machines and sewing skills to make a DIY mask for our local healthcare workers and police officers with a special navy blue color, following CDC guidelines for N95 and PPE masks. “Our police officers keep us safe not only in crises like this, but throughout the year,” said Jessie Solis.

Brian Bott, Aspire Fitness Axelrod Artists Raise Voices and Funds for FULFILL The Axelrod Performing Arts Center, like every other theater in America, has gone dark in the wake of COVID-19 and postponed or modified its programming. Despite its financial worries, the Axelrod put its focus on the community first, creating a star-studded music video to raise funds for FULFILL, formerly the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The video, produced by Hahn Films, can be found at axelrodartscenter.com or YouTube at https://youtu. be/l1uuzxG93bc. Patrons who wish to support Fulfill can donate at fulfillnj.fenly.org.

Brian Bott, owner of Aspire Fitness in Colts Neck, organized a fundraiser on GoFundMe for No Limits Cafe in Middletown. He completed a 100K challenge in early May that was broken up into four events - 25k Row, 25k Ski, 25k Bike, and 25k Run - for those of you scoring at home that’s FIVE, 5k’s, on four different pieces of equipment. His goal was $5,000, and as of press time, he raised more than $7,500 for the nonprofit. No Limit Cafe’s mission is to empower adults with intellectual disabilities by providing jobs and job training to help them lead fulfilling lives within our community and to increase awareness of their potential. The cafe opened its doors a month before Governor Murphy ordered all nonessential businesses to shut down.

IBEW Local 400 Donates $25,000 to Local Hospitals IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) Local 400, donated $25,000 in PPE supplies to the nine hospitals in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The donations consisted of surgical masks, KN95 masks, hand sanitizer, and food. “Our hospitals and healthcare workers are in the fight of their lives, and we all need to help out in any way we can. During this critical time, there is nothing more important than the protection of our healthcare heroes on the front lines fighting this virus.” said Robert Shimko, Business Manager, IBEW 400. “On behalf of our 600 members, we thank you for your service, dedication, and compassion during this coronavirus fight.”

Donate to Girl Scouts of Jersey Shore Cookie Relief Fund The Girl Scout Cookie Program was in full swing when COVID-19 hit the Jersey Shore forcing it to halt in-person and community booth sales to ensure everyone’s safety and comply with the Governor’s stay-at-home order. Not only were its entrepreneurs disappointed, but they have 100,000 boxes of unsold delicious cookies. You can purchase their inventory and support our heroes on the front lines of the pandemic, volunteers will safely deliver tasty Girl Scout Cookies to hospitals, food banks and other essential workers giving their all for our community. Not only will your gift bring joy to our heroes, but it will directly support the girls and the life-changing programs that Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore provides.

All of the photographers have donated their time to support The Brodie Fund and pets fighting cancer. Sessions will continue through June by appointment. Contact Karen at kew854@verizon.net to book your session today. Session is $50 including one photograph. Additional photos can be purchased for $25. All proceeds go directly to The Brodie Fund.

The Holmdel Community Holmdel residents have donated financial contributions to its front-line teams, PPE, and cheer cards for those who must remain physically distant. “I have said before that true character comes through in times of great challenge and controversy. There is no greater example of this than the Holmdel community. I am truly humbled by the kindness and generosity of Holmdel’s residents and businesses throughout the pandemic so far,” said Mayor Greg Buontempo.

Monmouth Park Charity Fund

The Colts Neck Community Colts Neck held a Food Drive on May 9 and more than 1,000 pounds of food was collected for Lunch Break. It was held at Colts Neck Fire House #1, and residents were able to drop off non perishable food items in a drive through. Volunteers included Colts Neck Fire Dept, Colts Neck Fire Police, Scout Troop 290, and The Barn for the Poorest of the Poor which provided the truck (and driver, Bob Lutkewitte) to deliver the goods to Red Bank.

Monmouth Park Charity Fund (MPCF) announced the distribution of four $10,000 Emergency Relief Grants to support local charities who which are on the front lines serving Monmouth County residents who have been profoundly impacted by COVID-19. These agencies are as follows: LunchBreak, Parker Family Health Center, HABcore, and Interfaith Neighbors. MPCF President, Maureen Lloyd, explains, “Unfortunately, our neighbors continue to face daily hardships during this pandemic. Monmouth Park Charity Fund is staying true to our 74-year mission to be a viable and stable voice for those in need of assistance in Monmouth County. That is why we have provided these much needed emergency grants.” To learn more, visit mpcharityfund.org.

Colts Neck Business Association & Delicious Orchards On April 17, Colts Neck Business Association (CNBA) teamed up with Delicious Orchards, to donate 100 gift cards to the front line medical professionals at Bayshore Medical Center. The CNBA Executive Team came together in an emergency voting forum to create a give-back program to show their gratitude and appreciation to the doctors, nurses and healthcare workers who are fighting the COVID-19 outbreak at Bayshore Medical Center, located in Holmdel.

Bridge of Books Foundation

Bridge of Books Foundation has been delivering books to isolated seniors across Monmouth County - with a long list still to go! At the same time, the foundation has been filling requests for children who need books. This need is even more magnified with schools closed for the year, especially as they head into the summer. The full educational impact of this pandemic has yet to be seen and will most likely be felt for a long time. For more information, visit bridgeofbooksfoundation.org.

“Thanks again for the nice (and too flattering) article. I was surprised to find how many people had seen it. I could be anywhere and someone would come up to me and say, ‘Hey, I saw the article about you in Community Magazine.’ I never expected that big of a response. It was actually a little embarrassing!” -Tim McLoone

Ranney School

O’Hara Kane-Assatly at home with Kimmel’s book, The Yawning Rabbit River Chronicle.

Ranney’s Medical Advisory Board appealed to the community to donate personal protective equipment (PPE) to support medical professionals on the front lines treating COVID19. The community responded enthusiastically. Notably, quite a few of its international families procured a significant portion of the collected PPE, resulting in a collection of more than 1400 N95 masks and thousands of surgical masks and gloves. Ranney School’s Health, Athletic Training, and Science Departments also contributed boxes of gloves and masks. Ranney distributed the masks and gloves to Ranney medical professionals who expressed a desperate need for these supplies. Recipients included emergency room doctors, the Visiting Nurses Association, and a busy COVID-19 testing facility. One grateful physician shared, “Know that all masks will be delivered to front line doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and support staff. Please relay our thanks to all the donors.” Thank you to the following individuals and families for making this effort possible: Frank Yang ‘21, Hellen Chen (Tom ’20), Sang Cheng (Lydia Zheng Lin ’21), Yuxuan Hong ’25, Yao Li Xian (Xin Zheng ’22), and Wu Yan (SiQi Liu ’21).

Holy Cross Academy students in sixth grade recently enjoyed the adventure fantasy tale The Yawning Rabbit River Chronicle written by local writer and artist Janine Kimmel of Locust. The novel was a welcoming escape during the onset and uncertainties of the closing of school and home quarantine. Students were guided through the novel by their teacher Maryjane Gallo and in addition, the author was invited to join in their online classroom to further discuss her novel. The students shared with Kimmel their favorite characters and why. The students also posed questions to the author regarding certain aspects of her novel. Kimmel gifted each student with her second illustrated novel, entitled The Magic Gown. Uncertain when school would resume and knowing how eager the students were to read the second novel, Gallo delivered the books door to door for her students to enjoy. To say the least, the students were quite enthused and honored by the gift, but they are equally excited having developed a relationship with the author.
