July. Don’t we all wait for this month each year? Kids are done with school, life seems to slow down a bit, and fireworks and beach days are the top items on many agendas. Living in Monmouth County offers so many opportunities to enjoy the sun and surf, take in a great concert, or just enjoy our own back yards. As we were preparing this issue for you, our readers, we had summer living in mind. I love our beaches. I’m sure you do, too. It’s one of the many reasons we choose this area to call home. But sometimes the work behind keeping our shores clean and viable goes unnoticed. So as our way of saying thank you for what we anticipate to be another beautiful summer at the Jersey Shore, we at CM are featuring those who work diligently each day of every season to make our summers sparkle and our bodies of water clean. Our cover story on page 42 introduces you to Cindy Zipf from Clean Ocean Action. She is a woman on a mission, and that mission is to make “our” ocean the cleanest it has ever been. She has worked tirelessly through the years and has had great success. But she reminds us where there is so much more to be done. You’ll also read about Jersey Shore Partnership’s annual summer celebration on page 70 and all that organization is doing for shore protection and beach replenishment. Also scattered throughout the issue this month you’ll find photos of all the fun our community has been having at the various fairs, festivals, and annual celebrations. So many great events happened last month with so many more on the way. Make sure to check out our Eventful feature and note which events are a can’t miss! We at CM hope you have a safe and fun July and that you find time to enjoy our beautiful Monmouth County. Congratulations to all the recent graduates, and Happy Birthday to our beloved country! Stay cool…

VNA Health Group Hosts Festive Beach Ball Kick Off Party

(l to r) Beach Ball Co-Chairmen Nora and Kenny King; Jesse and Maryam Spector; Jill Drummond; Sandy and Vanessa Mulheren; Shawn and Suzanne Rubin.

Committee members, supporters, and friends of Visiting Nurse Association Health Group gathered at Chapel Beach Club in Sea Bright on the evening of June 6 to kick off the summer countdown for its upcoming Beach Ball. The third edition of this wildly popular seaside celebration fundraiser will take place September 14 at the Beach Club. Proceeds will provide financial support for VNA’s Children & Family Health Institute serving more than 56,000 vulnerable, at risk patients annually with a broad array of community-based, safety net health programs. On a beautiful early summer evening, guests sipped Aperol spritzes and nibbled on sliders, mini lobster rolls, and luscious pastries. Against a backdrop of swaying palm trees, veteran Beach Ball co-chairs Jill and Jamie Drummond, Vanessa and Sandy Mulheren and Maryam and Jesse Spector officially welcomed Nora and Kenny King and Suzanne and Shawn Rubin as freshman co-chairs. All led a toast to this year’s honorees, the law firm of Ansell Grimm & Aaron PC, being recognized for the many years of generous support of the VNA Health Group and its programs. Attendees also raised their glasses in tribute to the 2019 Honorary Chairwomen Debbie Ansell, Mary Ansell, and Madlyn Aaron for their tireless devotion of time and energy to VNA fundraising activities and engaging the community in the mission and vital programs of the organization.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

Anticipation is high for the third Beach Ball, which will be taking place on Saturday, September 14, 6:30 pm at Chapel Beach Club in Sea Bright. Previous Beach Balls held in 2017 and 2018 attracted 600 guests and cumulatively raised more than $800,000. “Having taken a year off and going to an “every other year” schedule for the Beach Ball has definitely created buzz for unique and fun event! The VNA is incredibly grateful for the support of the volunteers, Ansell Grimm & Aaron, our Honorary Chairs as well as sponsors and attendees. We look forward to seeing old and new faces at the 'Best Party of the Year' to help us meet and exceed our goal of raising $400,000,” said Lynn Spector, Chairman of the VNA Foundation Board. The casual seaside evening will feature dancing to the music of Juke Box Criminals and an eclectic array of Jersey Shore-inspired fare, from mouth-watering barbeque to popular food truck selections. Revelers can bid on enticing silent and live auction items from luxury accessories to exciting experience packages and then sit back and gaze at the stars while toasting s’mores by the fire pit.

EAGLE OAKS RAISES $225,000 FOR HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS Eagle Oaks Golf & Country Club hosted its 11th Annual “Honor Day” Military Event in May in support of the courageous men and women in the military. Eagle Oaks Honor Day, a Fleet Week tradition, is held on the Thursday before Memorial Day each year. Raising more than $225,000 through fundraising, a charity golf outing and gala dinner, proceeds benefited Hope for the Warrior, a national non-profit that provides a full cycle of care through its programs to restore self, family, and hope to post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen across the country. “We know that freedom is not free,” said Domenic Gatto, Chairman and President of Eagle Oaks Golf & Country Club. “It is our privilege and honor to host a well-deserved day of fun and relaxation for these courageous and brave

men and women who so valiantly and selflessly serve our country. Our members are proud and honored to share their club for the day.” This year Eagle Oaks hosted 285 active duty service personnel representing all five branches of the military, 185 of whom were US Marine Corps members just returning back from Afghanistan. Honor Day kicked off with a Black Hawk helicopter landing on the driving range, followed by the All Veterans Group Parachute Team jumping in to the cheers of the crowd on the golf course. Military personnel were treated to a relaxing day in a world class clubhouse, while dining on gourmet food and playing golf on a championship caliber golf course designed by Johnny Miller & Jack Nicklaus.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

Almost 300 students from local schools toured military displays that highlighted various state-of-the-art military technologies. By providing a venue for hands on interaction and learning, Eagle Oaks Honor Day helps bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world application of military technologies. Children had the opportunity to interact with military personnel and learn about the practical application of the equipment and technologies through hands on experience. The evening ceremony included an honor roll of Eagle Oaks friends and family before welcoming in military to the cheers of more than 500 invited guests, filling the ballroom dance floor to the background music of Proud To Be An American. Special guest Colonel Joshe Raitz made the keynote speech.

At annual dinner, we recognized the achievements of the League and our members over the year. It was a privilege to pass the gavel to incoming President Lori Hohentleitner and welcome the incoming Board.” On July 1st, Lori Hohenleitner began her term as the 2019/2020 President of JLMC.

Meet Jerry Barca

BY LILLIANN PARAS

CM: How long did you need to research for each book? Do you work with a team of researchers? Well, there’s two very different answers. I wrote, researched, rewrote, and handled the interviews for my first book, UNBEATABLE, about Notre Dame’s 1988 championship team, in six months. There was a lot of coffee, Red Bull and Coca-Cola. Not the healthiest approach. For BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW, on the 1986 New York Giants Super Bowl champs, it took a year and a half. I don’t use any researchers. That would be great, but I never thought about using researchers mainly because the subjects I’ve written about haven’t been as large in scope as say a U.S. president. CM: Any surprises during your research?

Jerry Barca does it all. He is a film writer, producer, and book author having a particular focus on sports and leadership. He is a writer and producer of the documentary film about Father Hesburgh, the former president of Notre Dame University who counseled presidents, popes and students and was a moral voice for our country. HESBURGH (a New York Times critics pick) is currently showing in select theaters nationwide. His other films include Plimpton! (a New York Times critics pick), Catholics vs Convicts, and The Last Days of Knight. He is also an accomplished author and wrote the entertaining BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW: Smashmouth Football, A Little Bit of Crazy and the ’86 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants and, UNBEATABLE: Notre Dame’s 1988 Championship and the Last Great College Football Season. CM interviewed Jerry to learn about him, and the process for all of his varied accomplishments. CM: What is your connection to Monmouth County? I have lived in Freehold for over 15 years and loved it. We moved here because two of my siblings and their spouses had already taken up residence here. And I wanted to chase the muse that must’ve inspired Bruce Springsteen.

There are always surprises during research. You need those surprises because everybody already knows the outcome. Spoiler: Notre Dame and the Giants win. The surprises from research make the story revelatory. With BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW there was a bunch. From players’ drug use, to the connection to organized crime, to Giants ownership co-signing a loan so a lowly assistant coach named Bill Belichick could take a job with the team and move to New Jersey - it’s all surprising. Even the grief fans gave Phil Simms early in his career. He’d go to pick up his shirts and his dry cleaner would tell him how he should be playing quarterback. Yikes! What were the reactions/comments from the Giants when the book was published? It was exciting with BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW. A lot of sportswriters I admire took to Twitter and recommended the book. The Associated Press called the book “engrossing.” Famed football writer Peter King exuded the details in it and Sports Illustrated’s Greg Bishop said it is “the football book that has everything -- drugs, death and the decisions that lifted a flagship organization back to prominence.” CM: Was there a particular book that first sparked your interest in reading/writing or that really “stays with you?” Carrie by Stephen King and The Miracle of St. Anthony

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

by Adrian Wojnarowski. Pretty disparate books. I read Carrie after reading King’s book On Writing. Carrie was his breakthrough book, the one that launched him. He wrote about the backstory of it in On Writing. That drew me to it. There are certain literary freedoms, particularly the way King used italic passages to write about the past, that opened up a world of approaches that I hadn’t thought about. I guess previous to that I had found writing to be so rule driven or strict. It sounds silly, especially now. Wojnarowski’s book on Bob Hurley Sr. and the school he led is an incredible leadership story set in sports and in New Jersey. That’s always a great combination for me, but it also - without being heavy-handed, goes into detail about how people respond to circumstances of life, especially when the circumstances don’t line up for you. Those characters are always appealing to me. CM: How do the processes for researching and writing for film differ from print? Which do you prefer? I like both, but they’re completely different. Writing is solitary and lonely. It’s you and the blank page and the challenge to construct sentence after sentence in ways that keep readers hooked. Working on film is working with a team. Everybody plays their role and, when things work well, the sum is greater than the parts. That’s a great feeling.

16 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE & OVER $160 MILLION IN CLOSED REAL ESTATE.... AND GROWING

CM: You are behind the camera- have you ever been in front of the camera? Any desire to act? I’ve been in front of the camera in documentaries, but no, I don’t have a desire to act. 5 Dimisa Drive, Holmdel

CM: What projects are you pursuing next? Right now, the focus is on HESBURGH and that film’s continued successful theatrical run. It’s been an amazing ride becoming a New York Times critic’s pick, making the must-see documentary list in Entertainment Weekly and playing in over 70 cities across the country. And, I’m so glad the film made it to the Jersey Shore, playing at the Showroom in Asbury Park. CM: If all things were possible, who is the dream interview? I’d interview my grandfather when he first came to this country. I’d ask him why he came here and what were his hopes and dreams. I’d ask him about his thoughts about how much impact emigrating here would have on future generations of his bloodline and did he even think about that.

Hockhockson Farm Foundation, in collaboration with Lunch Break and Laurino Farms, announced the Caring Sharing Agriculture (CSA) program is now accepting donations to give access to fresh produce for Lunch Break families in need. “One of the single most important things anyone can do for good health is to consume fruits and vegetables daily. We are excited to help make this possible for families who may not otherwise have access to fresh produce.” said Tracey Stewart, founder and president of Hockhockson Farm Foundation. Up until now, CSA has typically stood for Community Supported Agriculture. When you join a CSA, you are giving local farmers the seed money to begin their crops. In return, you

receive a bounty from their harvest at an incredibly discounted price throughout the growing season. Hockhockson Farm Foundation has developed an exciting program whereby CSA stands for Caring Sharing Agriculture and gives people the opportunity to donate a share or partial share of Jersey grown fruits and vegetables from Laurino Farms to those in need through Lunch Break in Red Bank, NJ. To donate to the Caring Sharing Agriculture program, visit hockhocksonfarm.org. Please note donations need to be placed by July 10th. For more information, visit hockhocksonfarm.org/programs.

Have you heard the sayings, “Bad things happen to good people”, “Life is 10% of what happens and 90% of how you react to it”? Harsh times are a part of life. It is easy to blame circumstances for our own shortcomings. However, adversity is where we thrive. It is not what has happened in our lives, but the manner in which we react. You certainly cannot prevent the worst from happening, but you can control your attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life – and they are sure to come. Bad things do happen to good and bad people; but how we respond defines our character and the quality of our lives. Think about your greatest accomplishments in life, did they not consist of some pain? One can choose to sit in the gravity of loss or choose to rise from it and treasure the most precious gifts we have. Anyone can be defeated when life does not go as planned, but every hardship presents a growth opportunity - regardless of age – and it is these experiences that shape our lives. My personal crying game is that my very successful business and “corner” office were on the 77th floor of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Thank God we got everyone out alive. But as a small business, we were devastated. Our NYC and financial and banking clients were frozen as we all tried to recover, catch our breath, and try to figure out a road to the “new normal”. With no office, no records, and (over 200) employees in various stages of shock and PTSD – two weeks later we opened a temporary office on W11th Street in Greenwich Village. Then the second bomb dropped. The bank froze our assets, called in loans and multiple lawsuits hit us like a ton of bricks – as everyone thought we would fold or more appropriately collapse like the towers. In the midst of this, I remember someone very wise telling me - in a moment of sheer fear as my home was being seized, and I needed to tell my kids we needed to leave - “It’s not what happens, but how you HANDLE what happens.” And it spun me around… forever. “The longer I live, and the more clients I see and people I meet, the more I realize the impact of attitude has on life. Attitude is more important than facts. It is more important than

the past, than money, than your failures and successes, and especially more important than what other people think, say or do. In my story, the lawyers insisted that I would lose my house – we never did, we fought back and found a way. Attitude will make or break a company, a family, and relationships. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have. The only environment we have control of is our internal one. Logic is thrown out the window when we let our emotions take control. When s**t hits the fan, we become emotional and this clouds our judgment. It is always emotion that prohibits our strengths and intelligence to reach the forefront of our minds and think clearly. The bottom line is, that the way in which we react to life’s curve balls and bomb-drops, determines the quality of our lives. There are things in the world we can control - and change - and things that we cannot. Recognizing the difference is the key to sanity and accepting the fact that not everything is in our control. We may think we are “in control” when in fact we are not. The irony is, as soon as we realize this, we will start to feel a greater sense of control in our lives. We need to realize that we are simply the sum of all of our life’s experiences. My wish for you is that your attitude and your “life’s lessons” help better your present and future self and improve your quality of life. - Greg

DI VORCE TA LK

BY PET ER C . PA R A S , ESQ.

Crisis! What happens when the higher earning spouse is suddenly laid off or becomes the victim of a corporate merger or is otherwise terminated for reasons beyond his or her control? A family, which based its lifestyle on a certain level of income, can suddenly be thrust into turmoil. Mortgage and car payments, manageable before the job loss, can become daunting obligations. What about the child who is halfway through college at an expensive university? Medical insurance, tutoring for a struggling high school student, or even basic necessities, in some cases, can become seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Obtaining a new position at the same income level in a short amount of time is not guaranteed. Depending on the industry and the person’s age, that may be an unrealistic expectation. In fact, it may, in some cases, be an impossibility. During these crises it is important to remember that the job loss is not just the terminated spouse’s problem. It is the

entire family’s problem – just as it is in an intact family. The loss of a lucrative position affects every family member and is best addressed through cooperation and a mutually candid exploration of each party’s (and the children’s) financial needs in an effort to fairly allocate available resources. A good faith job search and a realistic assessment of the job market are also essential ingredients in dealing with such a problem. Is a position at the same level as the one that was lost realistically in the cards? Or does the terminated spouse and, indeed, the entire family, have to consider a long term reduction in lifestyle? These questions are better addressed through cooperation. Anger, mistrust, and animosity contribute to the problem, not the solution. The more transparent and collaborative the spouses can be in assessing the numerous consequences and components of a job loss, the better the chances are that they will find a

livable solution. Spouses may have to consider a series of temporary resolutions given the uncertainty that lies ahead. Reassessment and renegotiation, although generally not preferable, may be the best you can do when the employment future is unknown. A sliding scale for support, linked to future earnings levels, may make sense in some cases. The point is that in these situations the risk the future presents are shared risks. They aren’t just one spouse’s risks. And as such, banging heads in court, isn’t likely to yield the most creative solutions. It’s time to set aside differences and work with your attorneys to explore common ground and equitable results. Job loss is stressful. Divorce is stressful. Mixed together they can be a lethal cocktail. These are issues that call for both spouses to rise up, not hunker down. And, just maybe, rebuild some of the trust that was lost a long time ago.

T he Ocean’s V oice Meet Cindy Zipf, Executive Director of Clean Ocean Action

STORY: LILIANN PAR A S | PHOTO: C ARMEL A C AR AC APPA PHOTOGR APHY

“Just one word: Plastics…There’s a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?” And so goes the career advice to young Benjamin in The Graduate, 1967. Now, as we sit and enjoy our beaches and our rivers this summer, we should all take time to think about plastics, not as a great future promise, but as a major threat to the health of our water and marine life. Scientists estimate that each year eight million metric tons of plastics make their way into our oceans, the equivalent of 90 aircraft carriers. (National Ocean Service US Dept of Commerce.) And yet, individuals can make a very real difference. Meet Cindy Zipf, Executive Director and one of the founders of Clean Ocean Action (COA) based on Sandy Hook and soon to be launching a new office in Long Branch. Cindy is an intrepid champion of clean water, waging more than a 35 year battle to eliminate ocean dumping and to clean and protect our ocean and other waterways. Through COA’s Beach Sweeps, legislation support, and education, New Jersey has gone from “The Ocean Dumping Capital of the World” to a clean ocean water destination. But the battle is far from over and there is much more to be done. Cindy speaks about her journey and the ways in which ordinary citizens can make a difference.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

CM: Did you grow up near a beach? I grew up in Rumson and it was a quick walk to Sea Bright where my life was really spent in the water. My mom told stories that I was always drawn into the ocean. For instance, as an infant when I was crawling in the sand a wave came, scooped me up and took me into the ocean. The next wave rolled me back onto the beach and I was giggling like my mother had never heard before. When I got older, I went to the beach every day. I put the books down and off I went. I really spent my childhood in the ocean, on the beach or exploring the rivers. CM: Many of us love the beach and want it to be clean, but what was it that sparked your extreme dedication? When I was in sixth grade everyone went around the room and said what they wanted to be when they grew up. I was the oddball because I wanted to be a marine biologist. My favorite shows were Flipper and the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau - I wanted to be Jacques “Cousteauette.” I went to the University of Rhode Island to start my path. (BA in Geography and Marine Affairs) When I was a junior, I became an intern at the National Marine Fisheries Service on Sandy Hook. At the time the federal government had authorized some exploratory oil drilling off Cape May, NJ. One experiment I worked on was watching marine life being exposed to drilling muds, a chemical cocktail used to lubricate the drill bits. Oh my gosh, these animals banged against the tanks trying to get away from the chemicals, and they tried to jump out of the sealed tanks - it was horrible, very disturbing. So that summer I decided I really wanted to protect marine life. I met Dery Bennett who was the Director of the American Littoral Society (ALS). He said to me, “If you ever want to help save the coast, let me know.” I came aboard and Dery was an incredible mentor. I became an advocate, using my science background to defend the marine environment. CM: How did COA come about and are you a national organization? While at ALS, they had the Ocean Dumping Task Force to challenge ocean dump-

ing, which I worked on extensively, and it formed the basis of what would become Clean Ocean Action. That was in 1984 when the New York/New Jersey area was known as the “Ocean Dumping Capital of the World” with eight ocean dumpsites. At the same time, there were 800 beach closures one summer due to sewage, garbage, and medical waste on beaches. COA started as a coalition which engaged business and community interests, as well as traditional fish huggers and environmentalists. This was very unique in the day because rarely did garden clubs, realtors, commercial and recreational fishermen, chambers of commerce, and eco folks band together toward a common goal. When we went into battle to stop ocean dumping, these different voices and perspectives were united. This really helped get the elected officials’ attention. Most importantly, we knew the ocean was a shared resource and COA was, and always will be, very non-partisan. While COA’s focus is exclusive to the ocean off New Jersey and New York, there have been national implications of the positive precedents we have set, laws that were passed, and the impact we’ve made. Even COA’s coalition model is now more the norm. CM: What has given you particular satisfaction? Working with different people and groups to tackle and stop eight ocean dumpsites was one of the most joyful and inspiring aspects of COA. We even stopped one site, the hazardous waste incineration site, before it started. Many years ago, people had a very convenient place to dump their waste - the ocean. Over the years, garbage washed-up on the beaches and dead animals too. There were cholera banks, a wood burning site and eventually more industrialized materials (acid waste) and municipal waste (sewage sludge) were dumped. That was the mentality. And these sites were managed by the federal government and sanctioned by the Environmental Protection Agency! Back then the general thinking was, “Here’s a good idea: the ocean’s free, it’s open 365 days a year and it doesn’t scream when you dump into it.” The ocean didn’t have a real CONTINUED >

voice back then and COA became the voice of the ocean. The last of these dumpsites closed in 2000. We began in 1984 - it took 15 years. It seemed like a long time to us, but I’ve been talking to folks who thought it would never end because there was so much money to be made in dumping. Today, people who never knew the history of ocean dumping are shocked and appalled. Therein lies a true victory and joy because it helps to ensure we will never go back to those barbaric ways. CM: And plastics! What are the ramifications? We have become very plastic dependant and wasteful. As a result, plastic debris is omni-present in our lives from the atmosphere to the deepest trenches in the ocean. We are the source of all plastic. For example, every time it rains the water washes litter from the streets and sidewalks into storm drains that lead to the waterways and ultimately the ocean. Much litter is also blown into the ocean from the wind. The plastic and other debris are not just on the surface; they literally are in the entire water column. Every piece of plastic in the ocean breaks into microplastics and becomes smaller and smaller. A study estimates that people are now ingesting 50,000 pieces of microplastics every year, coming from the water or from the air, or on and in our food -- even getting into some fish tissue. In fact, many marine animals are also eating plastic mistaking it for food. They die of starvation because their stomachs are packed with plastic. One example was a juvenile sperm whale in Europe who struggled and eventually died so emaciated, he looked like a giant flattened plastic bag on the beach. Sixty four pounds of plastic were found in his stomach. At least we can bear witness to this when sea life washes-up on the beach. I don’t know how many millions of marine animals are dying every year that we don’t see. There is no way we can blame plastics on anything else except “we the people.” And it’s “we the people” who must solve this problem. CM: In the 35 years of COA, what changes have you observed in the waterways’ conditions? It is a mixed bag. On the one hand, ocean water quality has vastly improved. When

we started there was an area known as the “dead sea” because it was just thick with sewage sludge and industrial waste. That area has recovered. Marine life is certainly coming back and garbage washups or beach closings due to raw sewage are rare. We’ve gone from being the nation’s laughingstock to a premier international coastal tourism destination. We depend so much on the ocean--the oxygen we breathe, the $32 billion tourism industry, and fishing. They are all gifts the ocean provides for free. All she asks is that we keep her healthy. On the other hand, the ocean is in crisis from climate change caused by the use of fossil fuels, including plastics production, by the way. Many know climate change causes sea level rise, but it also causes ocean acidification that is changing the pH of the ocean which can kill plankton that provides us with life-supporting oxygen. As for our other waterways, they are becoming more polluted from runoff and old sewer systems. In recent years we’ve heard people have become sick by falling into the Navesink River, and an area was downgraded. In response, COA started Rally for the Navesink, and is tracking and reducing "poo"-llution. We are also using this program as a model for other waterways. CM: What is the greatest challenge for COA? Keeping people aware of the enormous effort, year round vigilance, and resources it requires in order to keep the ocean clean. If COA was to close up shop, as they say, the ocean and waterways that lead to it would revert very quickly back to being polluted. Most kids today have never heard of ocean dumping. They're starting from, “The ocean is always clean when I go to it.” Well, it’s always clean because we worked really hard to get it that way! Schools need to keep teaching how important the environment is and peoples’ role in protecting it, especially from climate change and plastics. I’ve talked to teenagers who are despondent about the environment and they don't know what to do. That's not healthy. They all have the power to do something and I really want to empower youth to take on these challenges and see that they can make a difference. Despair, or ignoring the problem, or hoping it goes away are not healthy responses. Nature can heal if we give her a chance.

Bennett Fellow for Coastal Advocacy

CM: Is there a current fight for the ocean being waged by COA? There are some really big fights going on, but the chronic problems - plastic plague, “poo”llution in the waterways from fecal contamination, fertilizer - those are the greatest challenges right now in addition to climate change. There are also site specific issues. Currently, a private company has proposed a pipeline off the Raritan Bay and into Sandy Hook and our ocean. The company admits it would resuspend about a million tons of toxic mud into the water column and would spill nearly 700,000 gallons of drilling mud into the water. It also would result in a horrifying amount of air pollution. The project is allegedly to deliver natural gas to New York but an independent study found New York doesn’t need the pipeline. New York and New Jersey oppose the project and denied the permits, but there is a loophole and the company has reapplied. The pipeline must be stopped. There is no benefit to our state. CM: What message would you like world leaders to hear and understand? Treat the ocean like your life depended on it - because it does. I can’t emphasize enough that one can deny a problem exists, but that doesn’t change the fact that abuses and negative impacts are happening. The environment truly is the most important element to respect and protect. Without clean water, without

clean air, the planet is not livable. CM: What impact can ordinary citizens make to help in the cause? Vote! to have a voice. Of key importance is knowing who is representing you. Engaging in democracy is step one. Knowing who you are voting for and what their position is on the environment should be one of your core principles for life. Also, people may consider making a donation. COA relies largely on donations. I try to remind people to consider what a day at the beach and being able to dive into the clean ocean are worth to them. COA also hosts many Beach Sweeps in which citizens of all ages can participate, and all year round, people can reduce their use of plastics, especially single use! CM: Are there unusual items recovered on the beach during the Beach Sweeps? We find the wackiest things on the beach in our clean-ups. We keep a “Roster of the Ridiculous” and find things like voodoo dolls, a photo of Mao Tse Tung and, literally, a kitchen sink. You wonder how these items get out there. CM: What do you do in your free time; what keeps you positive? (Cindy’s dedication to COA was more subtly re-

vealed by her need to pause and really wrack her brain about her “free time”.) Hmm, I like to garden...and I am mostly inspired by people stepping up, demonstrating leadership and wanting to help. CM: Have you seen the next generation “stepping up”? Yes. One example is a fabulous high school senior who came to us after SuperStorm Sandy. Students were displaced and the school and teachers in Middletown were perplexed as to how to provide them with a good learning experience and so the school, very innovatively, established a program of internships. Derek Noah came to interview us and others to see which organization would pass muster with him. He decided on COA, lucky for us. He was with us for six months and became inspired to work on environmental issues. He now works for Terracycle, one of the most innovative recycling companies in the world, and is still so supportive of our work. He wants to engage young people so he is starting a young professionals board for COA and we couldn't be more thrilled. CM: Do you have a favorite quote? I like “A rising tide lifts all boats” because it's really true that everyone benefits when we all work together.

Who is Fair Haven Native Roey Hadar? If we phrase our headline in the form of a question it may give you a hint where you’ll be seeing Rumson Country Day School and Ranney alum Roey Hadar this month. Set your DVR to watch Jeopardy! on July 17 as a son of Monmouth County competes on the long-running game show. “It was an honor to be on the program,” said Roey. “I had watched the show for years growing up and always thought it would be really cool to actually be on it. I had played quiz bowl for years in both high school and college and it’s effectively practice for Jeopardy! You have to answer questions about often-arcane knowledge by ringing in with a buzzer and it attracts the kind of people who want to be on the show. I always felt I had a bit of a mind for the game-- I would always write the ‘fact of the day’ on the board of my homeroom in school--and tried out a few times. It took a couple of tries but I heard back when I took the test on a whim more than two years ago.” Roey, who currently lives in Arlington, Virginia and works as a journalist for the PBS show Washington Week, auditioned in

July of 2017 and was told he may be called in the following 18 months. Months after the time frame ended he got a call asking him to come to Los Angeles and be on the show. “Being on the show itself was surreal,” shared Roey. “It felt as if the game had come alive in my living room. I always would watch and call out responses as the clues popped up on my screen but to actually have to pick the clues and play with a buzzer was a new experience. I know that both before I went on and even during it, I felt at once both really nervous and really excited. I was having a blast actually playing the game but could feel the pressure of not doing something overly embarrassing on TV. I actually blanked on most of the game and I’ll learn a lot about it when I see it air.” Having met host Alex Trebek once before when he represented New Jersey as the state bee champion at the National Geographic Bee, Roey said his interaction this time was limited. “Alex is kept away from chatting with contestants too much to avoid any perceived conflict of interest or challenge to the objectivity of the game,” said Roey. “He comes out, hosts the game for you and leaves. I did get to chat with him briefly when I shared my anecdote and also at the end of the show in the conversation you

see as the credits roll, but other than that, that’s about it. He did take questions from the audience during breaks in the show, however, and was quite friendly and welcoming there. He updated us on his cancer recovery (he said he would feel tired at the end of the day but that he was still in good spirits) and also showed pictures of himself still doing DIY work in his house.” A graduate of both Georgetown University and Columbia Journalism School, Roey comes home to Fair Haven every year to volunteer with Holiday Express on Christmas Eve. Hopefully this year he’ll have a great story to share about his time on Jeopardy!

The Band of the Two Rivers is a 501(c)3 non-profit community concert band in central New Jersey. The Band was founded in 1997 by its Conductor Don Swinchoski. The Band’s Assistant Conductor is Mel Chayette. Mr. Swinchoski emigrated from Massachusetts and instantly filled a musical void in the county for amateur and professional musicians. That void became wonderful sound. The band averages 25-30 players, and welcomes newcomers and visitors to sit in for rehearsals. The band attracts musicians of all ages, from high school students to senior citizens. The harmonies, syncopations, and marching tempos of the wide variety of music the band plays will lift everyone’s spirit. The band’s motto is “Music is Motivation and a Lifelong Learning Experience!”

A bigger and better Red Bank Classic returned to downtown Red Bank on June 15 to raise support for youth programs at the Red Bank Family YMCA and Department of Parks and Recreation. More than 1,500 runners and walkers of all ages gathered in downtown Red Bank to compete in the second annual Red Bank Classic, organized by the Red Bank Business Alliance and Red Bank RiverCenter. This year’s community event featured a 5K road race through the streets of Red Bank and a fun run for children on Broad Street. Afterward, runners and walkers gathered at Marine Park for a host of healthy activities and refreshments from 33 vendors. A post-party at Red Rock Tap+Grill, topped off the day. Mayor Pasquale “Pat” Menna welcomed runners and walkers to Red Bank and gave the countdown to start the race. The U.S.

Marine Corps. Forces Reserve Combat Logistics Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group from Red Bank, served as color guard, and Frances Forte, 15, of Rumson, sang the national anthem. First over the finish line was Dave Favortino, a 31-year-old from Galloway Township, who ran the 3.1mile course in 16 minutes, 17 seconds; followed by Paul Jacobson, 16, of Staten Island in 17 minutes; and in third place was Red Bank’s own Meza Soriano, 35, in 17 minutes and 21 seconds. Surprise first female finisher was 8-year-old Ava Johnson, a third grader from Haddonfield, who posted a time of 18 minutes and 38 seconds. Coming in second for the women was Kiera Russo, 38, of Tinton Falls with a time of 18 minutes and 50 seconds, and in third place was Katie Desiere, 31, of Ocean Township, who finished in 19 minutes and 18 seconds.

Eighty teams competed in the 5K. In first place was the Shore Area Running Club; second place went to Red Bank Eye; and in third place was Orange Theory Fitness. “It was a well-paced, very well-organized race,” said top finisher Favortino, who described the course that winded through Red Bank as “challenging,” especially the climb up Tower Hill. In addition to the perfect weather, James Scavone, executive director of RiverCenter, attributed the event’s success to the collaborative efforts of the business community, the borough and over 60 volunteers. Gold sponsors of the 5K were: Two River Community Bank, Chill Rx Cryotherapy and Red Rock Tap & Grill.

he Emerging Leadership Board (ELB), Visiting Nurse Association Health Group’s (VNAHG) volunteer board of young professionals recently hosted its fourth annual “Summer Soirée” at Proving Ground Waterfront Dining in Highlands. The event was a tremendous success, raising $40,000 in support of the ELB’s commitment to the VNA’s Children and Family Health Institute. More than 200 guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, live music by Upside NJ, a wine toss and a chance auction, all against the backdrop of beautiful Sandy Hook Bay. The event also provided attendees the opportunity to learn more about the VNA’s community-based health care programs, which serve 56,000 underserved and at-risk families annually. These cost effective, safety net health programs aim to strengthen relationships and build life skills essential to learning, health, social and emotional development, as well as create new pathways out of poverty. “We are so grateful to all of our sponsors, supporters, attendees and our fellow board members who helped make this event our most successful yet,” shared Christopher Bernard and Roberto Muñiz, Summer Soirée Co-Chairs. “Our goal has been to raise funds for the VNA’s Children and Family Health Institute by engaging our personal and professional networks, helping them to understand the important work the VNA is doing within our communities.” Formed in 2015 under the guidance of longtime VNAHG Trustee Robert Dibble, the ELB fosters professional growth and development among its members who represent varying professional backgrounds including health care, law, marketing, finance, biotech and human resources. Funds raised by the ELB have contributed to the continued growth of the Children and Family Health Institute including the recent opening of its headquarters based in VNA of Central Jersey’s Freehold Family Health Center. “As the next generation of business leaders, the Emerging Leadership Board is continually learning about the impact we can have on the Visiting Nurse Association, other nonprofit organizations and the greater community,” said Matthew Amitrano, Emerging Leadership Board Chair.

SELLING YOUR HOME?

Pay a fixed fee instead of commission. Exclusive Home Sellers Is Changing How Homes Are Sold Exclusive Home Sellers is a “one stop shop” offering a variety of services, and all for a fixed price instead of the traditional commission fees. Owner, Michael Navarro, is laser focused on bringing this new “fixed price” model to all sellers and on changing how homes are being sold.

Holmdel Library Happenings Special Childrens Programs | Registration Required Visit bit.ly/HolmdelKids

What does the fixed price include? MICHAEL: An interior designer stages the home, a contractor evaluates it, a licensed real estate agent works with sellers from “start to sold” and an attorney will handle the closing. We also offer professional photographs and lawn signs. All that for one fixed price, much lower than the standard commission fees.

What is the new model of business? MICHAEL: We market differently- directly to buyers- because today’s buyers are savvy and have the technology to find homes themselves. Many are not relying on agents. If I could eliminate the middle person, offer other services, and do it for a fixed price, who wouldn’t love that? Sellers tend to be skeptical, thinking “this is too good to be true,” but the service works and the fixed price is real. This idea came about when I was flipping homes and was very frustrated paying high commission fees.

This approach is in direct contrast to how agents operate today. MICHAEL: I agree. When Uber was first introduced it had its share of skepticism too. A good friend once told me, “Either be the disruptor in your industry or be disrupted.” It brings me so much joy to know I am really helping families not just sell their homes, but keep the money they most definitely need.

Have You Considered Sedation Dentistry for You or Your Child? Our 9-year-old needed two baby root canals and 7 cavities filled. After trying a couple of appointments with our regular pediatric dentist, our son became anxious and aggravated. Our pediatric dentist recommended we put him under general anesthesia and have everything done at one time. Of course I tried to learn as much as I could about putting a 9-year-old under general anesthesia, thus beginning my journey into sedation dentistry. Turns out, Dr Lichtenstein is THE GO-TO dentist for general anesthesia because of his many years of hospital operating experience. General anesthesia is serious for anyone and needs to be done by someone with great skill, great experience and regular practice. After researching ALL the options for our son, it was a no-brainer to go to Dr Lichtenstein. We were totally lucky to have a Dentist Anesthesiologist in our state, much less the same county. There are only a handful of these specially trained doctors in the Northeast. Not all have the 13+ years of hospital OR experience Dr Lichtenstein has.

We knew our little guy was in the best possible hands. We talked to many practices who spoke highly of Dr Lichtenstein and his ability to do excellent dental work as well as sedate our son safely using his hospital-grade “operating room”. Breathing, temperature, pulse, all these need to be monitored! This type of monitoring is not done in a regular dental office. Ask, ask, ask! Our son did great, and when Dr Lichtenstein (himself) called that night to check on us, our son was out playing soccer. Wonderful experience. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about dentistry and sedation during investigating options for our son. As a parent, I needed to feel confident and choose the absolute BEST route for my son. There’s some pretty scary stuff out there, and I always tell everyone I know about Dr Lichtenstein and his background and training which make ALL THE DIFFERENCE. All the best, L. Schrader Mom of 5 • Wall, NJ

What is a Board Certified Veterinary Criticalist? Board certified veterinary criticalists focus on current techniques for diagnosing and treating life-threatening conditions during an emergency and while a pet is critically ill. In addition to undergraduate training and four years of veterinary school, board certified criticalists spend another 4-5 years with intense training in the field of emergency and critical care medicine. This is followed by a rigorous examination from the American College of Emergency & Critical Care. Passing this examination grants the status of Diplomate of the American College of Emergency & Critical Care (DACVECC), is termed a “specialist”, and is board certified in veterinary emergency and critical care. Criticalists work alongside your primary care veterinarian, emergency veterinarians, and other specialists, to ensure the best outcome for your pet. They are essential in coordinating medical plans and therapies that encompass multiple specialties of veterinary medicine. Common emergencies treated by a veterinary criticalist include: being hit by a car, falling from heights, profuse vomiting or diarrhea, difficulty breathing, seizures, severe anemias, diabetic crisis, and toxin ingestion. While some patients can be treated and released the same day, many must be admitted for further stabilization. Patients with life-threatening illnesses or injuries are admitted to a critical care unit, similar to a human ICU, for close monitoring and advanced life-support measures. At Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, our criticalists are available 7 days a week and our emergency doctors and technicians are on-site around the clock. They provide therapies, advanced monitoring, and diagnostic tools, including:

LUNCH BREAK’S TASTE OF SUMMER Culinary Extravaganza was the official kickoff of the party season as more than 275 attendees enjoyed the iconic views of the Shrewsbury River and dined on delicious fare at the organization’s third annual foodand-fun festival. The event took place May 14th at The Channel Club, Monmouth Beach.

More than 30 area restaurants and eateries offered sumptuous samplings for every palate, along with craft beer, wine and liquor distributors. Guests mingled and enjoyed the riverside view while Lunch Break volunteer Mike Welty of Rummy Joe provided the music. “Once again, the Taste of Summer Culinary Extravaganza was a night to remember. We were excited to be part of the third

annual summer party, which raised awareness and funds to help Lunch Break in its efforts to provide food, clothing, fellowship and life skills,” said George Chrysanthopoulos, a member of the Lunch Break Board of Trustees and owner of the Beach Tavern and Channel Club Marina in Monmouth Beach. The Channel Club, as well as the restaurants, eateries and vendors generously donated food, desserts and staff so that 100 percent of ticket sales benefited Lunch Break, which provides life’s basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter for the greater Monmouth County community at no cost.

Building 23 will hold classrooms, a gymnasium, showers and other facilities for the cadets.
