The best beer drinking experience is had at the Source. Enjoy hand-crafted, farm-to-glass ales and lagers brewed on site. Beer can have a personality, tell a story, wow the senses, and bring people together. Introducing our New Zealand style pilsner, shown being poured above. This crisp, clean, unfiltered lager was brewed with premium German malts and several late additions of our favorite New Zealand hops that deliver a huge punch of bright citrus fruit aromas and flavors. This beer is light, highly drinkable, and full-flavored making it a classic “go-to” beer year round. We look forward to serving this beer in our taproom straight from one of our cellar’s horizontal lagering tanks.

Ah, Sextilis. That’s the original Latin name for the month of August because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar. Poet Helen Hunt Jackson called August the “poor, middle-aged summer”. And in Europe, August is traditionally the month for holiday, or as we Americans refer to it, vacation. But here in Monmouth County this month is often about the last sweet bits of sun and surf before school begins anew. With all this in mind, we at CM offer our Back to School issue. We reached out to our local private schools so they could let you know about Open Houses coming up, and we crafted articles to give you information we thought helpful as you prepare your little ones, and not-so-little-anymore offspring, for the great adventure of a new school year. Our cover is a rather unique spin on the Back to School concept. On page 38 you’ll meet Sal Cannizzaro, a truly self-made man. He took advantage of what we would refer to as trade school at a very early age and has built upon those teachings with vision and tenacity. If you’re in favor of bringing shop class back to middle school, Sal is a great example. Without the benefit of college or connections, Sal sails a course of success. We think you’ll enjoy meeting this neighbor. Another neighbor, Megha Ganne, just entering her sophomore year at Holmdel High School, is doing amazing things in the world of golf. On page 28 you can read the story of how she is breaking world records at the age of 15. As ever at CM we are committed to the local community and being involved wherever we can. Read about our proud sponsorship of the Monmouth Film Festival on page 66 and set yourself a reminder for our September issue where we’ll be giving away two-day general admission tickets to the soldout Sea.Hear.Now Festival in Asbury Park. Enjoy the rest of August, and to all the kids –

make it a great year!

“Christmas in July” RAISED FUNDS FOR TIGGER HOUSE FOUNDATION Student Alliance Program Educates Local High Schoolers About the Disease of Addiction THE TIGGER HOUSE FOUNDATION (THF) STUDENT ALLIANCE program hosted a Fashion Show event at Garmany in Red Bank on July 12 to begin raising scholarship money for individuals who are struggling with addiction and in need of drug rehabilitation. Tigger House Foundation is inspired by the devastating suffering and profound love of a family who lost their son and brother “Tigger” at 25 years of age to an accidental overdose. Tigger grew up on the Jersey Shore where he went to school, was loved by many friends and family, and lived a very full life. After having established THF five years ago and gathering ideas on how to help this epidemic, the foundation decided to implement its pilot program, THF Student Alliance, within high schools. Introducing this program to high school students will better educate the younger generation in dealing with the many issues of addiction they face today. Law Enforcement Leader, Chief William Lucia, provides guidance to the THF Student Alliance by educating and training both students and their parents on the opioid epidemic. Chief Lucia teaches the students skill sets to use when dealing with their peer pressures and talking about the drug epidemic. The Chairman of the Student Alliance is Nick Spinelli who has many years of sobriety and is a recovery professional. He is working very closely with these students. Currently, five high schools are involved in the student alliance program with nine students. The students and their schools are: Joe Dibernardo and Daniel Mooney, Christian Brothers Academy; Jaiden Diehl and Robert Gray, Rumson-Fair Haven High School; Emily Ahearn and Olivia Peter, Red Bank Catholic; Frankie Stavola, Middletown South; Molly Clifford and Anna Ferrigine, Trinity Hall.

FRANCES FOUNDATION HOLDS ANNUAL PICNIC AND SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT FRANCES FOUNDATION held its thirteenth annual Softball Tournament and Picnic on July 13 at Cross Farm Park in Holmdel. The event is named in honor of Daniel R. Shalloo, Sr., a deceased Frances Foundation trustee and decorated Marine who fought in Korea. “It was an amazing day! The sunshine was brilliant and so were the thousands of smiles on the faces of the children,” said Frances Foundation founder Robert “Bob” Heugle. More than 50 volunteers helped to make the event possible, as well as the teams, players, and fans who gave their time and support. Starting off the event was warrior Mckenzy who sang the National Anthem and Sean Hanlon of the Holmdel Kiwanis, who sang God Bless America. Recognition was given for the picnic’s namesake, Daniel R. Shalloo, Sr., and Heugle thanked Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden and Monmouth County Freeholder Director Tom Arnone for their long time generous support. Heugle noted that the highlight of the day was the presentation of gifts to the attending angels’ and pediatric cancer warriors’ families. During the last month, the Frances Foundation has delivered approximately $15,000 in smiles and assistance to numerous families. “Hats off to all our teams including Vonage, Rainbow Foundation, Cookies Crumblers, Team Jackson Sharkey, Maggipalooza, Access Integration Systems, the Angels, Union Beach Fire Department, Howell Police Department, Team Jake-Madi-Gwennie, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Department, and Mya/ IFF.” A championship game was won by the Champions Team Mya against the Sheriff’s Department with a score of 2-1. Heugle also thanked Kick Cancer Overboard and the Dean Michael Clarizio Cancer Foundation for attending and lending their support.

WELCOME TO THE TABLE

Work & Life Balance INFORMATION OVERLOAD + NEGATIVE SPECULATION = ANXIETY Fifty years ago, television was the threat (as was Rock & Roll). We feared it would rot our children’s minds, diminish our attention span, addict millions to mindless drivel – maybe they were right! Technology changes the way people live and inspires exaggerated hopes and fears. We’ve never seen anything like a smartphone, where it’s with us all the time, this is a new variable in human history. The behavioral and sociological sciences are pointing to how deeply this is affecting us, because we’re using it so intensely. Stanford University developed a way to accurately track our digital lives. How do those two-to-three hours a day spent on the phone affect us? On average, Americans are “hitting” their phones 300 times a day. What becomes important to us is the next new thing that comes along in a matter of seconds; that’s what grabs our attention, and not only do we begin to ignore the need to think deeply and quietly about things, but we begin to see that as a waste of time, because it stops you from grabbing the next new bit of information. An interesting note in the study is: it is human nature to send our thoughts and clicks toward negative information; like rubber-necking an accident on the information super-highway or as simple as supermarkets being emptied out of bread, milk and eggs before the news warns us of an impending super snow storm (does everyone eat French toast when it snows?). Humans yield toward misfortune and for many, use this to insulate and “defend” their lives. This phenomenon involves overthinking a situation to the degree that we speculate the negative outcome. I recently found myself on this side of negative speculation. I received an email from someone that seemed rather ominous. The tone and the wording seemed to indicate that a problem was coming. Had I forgotten to do something? Did I possibly “drop the ball”? So, I immediately set a meeting for the next day. I caught three synapses that were destructive. 1. Personal Anxiety. For 24

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

hours I worried about this. I read the email over again trying to discern its hidden meaning. Whenever there was an idle moment my mind rushed back to this “unknown”. I’m sure you’ve been there too. 2. Doubt. The mystery robbed me of my energy which led to self-doubt. Maybe I was not as good as I thought I was? 3. Character Assassination. Perhaps the worst aspect is that I began to build a false case. I began to characterize this person mildly tyrannical as I played defense. My brain began to play offense and build a character assassination. I had unfairly made this person out to be something that they were not. So, what’s the solution? We all see situations of negative speculation, especially in today’s climate as we are bombarded with the negative energies from the politicos, the internet and the 11:00 News. In this writer’s opinion, this is the root cause of our societal increase in angst and anxiety in adults, but most shockingly in children, tethered to their omni-present and on smartphones. By the grace of God our mental and spiritual posture can possibly shift as we attempt to identify some important truths that may allow us to move ahead. 1. Believe in the best of people. As I looked back on the “meeting” that day I could not have been more wrong. It was a great dialogue over a change in circumstance and genuine questions. The other person had my best interest at heart. They were simply acting out of concern for me and “our” ability to thrive. 2. Engage. I had to show up. I could not run and hide. No matter how negative the conversation might be, I was going to deal with it head-on and benefit in some way (a few hours beforehand, I decided that I would come humbly and ready to learn). My spirit lightened immediately. I came into the time with fresh energy, not to defend, but to learn. Fight or flight - this was genuine engagement that brought us closer together. 3. Your calling is greater than your circumstances. I have a calling that flows from my relationship with my family, friends and clients. That will not change regardless of my title. I will live that out to the best of my ability wherever I go. That realization was very freeing. I could only gain from the situation. I had certainly over thought the situation. I had engaged in negative speculation to my detriment. The email was an impostor – because of me. Let’s pull ourselves above the “cloud”, rise above the information overload and speculate to the positive! Because that’s how GREAT things happen to us and mankind moves forward. - Greg Calderaro Throughout history, “The Table” symbolizes a center of ideas, spirituality, family, discussion and education.

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.

Green Your School Scene: Education Programs for Schools & Groups

GOING BACK TO SCHOOL doesn’t mean that you forget about the beachy times you enjoyed at the Jersey Shore! With a little help from organizations like Clean Ocean Action (COA), teachers and students of all ages can become more eco-mindful, as well as inspired to take action to improve the environment around them. A famous ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau famously said, “People protect what they love.” For 35 years, COA has been providing tools and means for citizens small and tall to protect the ocean and all its remarkable creatures. COA uses research, public education and citizen action to improve the quality of the waters off the NY/NJ coast. From informative and inspiring presentations to interactive activities, our education programs help people understand the connections between daily actions and choices and the health of our environment. Become Watershed Mindful! Every waterway is on a journey to the ocean which means that the streams, creeks, and even storm drains near you flow to the sea. This is such an important connection—everything you do can

have an impact to the local water way all the way to the ocean. Back to school offers a wonderful time to learn more. COA has a collection of education programs and activities that teach that each person is connected to, and responsible for, the health of the waterways within his or her area. These programs are offered to schools and student groups to teach young people about their watershed and their responsibility. Many of the following activities are usually combined with a slide presentation about water quality issues, unless otherwise noted. Try these unique and interactive programs developed by and available from COA to green your school scene:  Know Your Water Address is a computer-based mapping exercise using geographic information system (GIS) tools to determine what waterways surround a student’s home, school, or other dwellings so that he or she can see the path that water takes to the ocean. With the knowledge of his or her water address, a student can get a big picture view of how much a part of the watershed each person is, how humans impact those waterways, and what he or she can do to improve water quality

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

(ages 10-adult).  Soak It Up! is a simple but effective activity to show how common surfaces in our environment contribute to water pollution and how simple changes can improve water quality (ages 4-adult).  An EnviroScape lesson brings to life the movement of pollutants through the watershed and one’s community (ages 5-adult).  Be the Sea Change is an interactive story telling presentation of Joel Harper’s book Sea Change, combined with an introduction to COA’s long history of ocean protection and advocacy, as well as Beach Sweeps data analysis and promotion (ages 4-10).  All the Way to the Ocean is a slide & video presentation based on the book by Joel Harper combined with an introduction to COA’s long history of ocean protection and advocacy, and Beach Sweeps data analysis and promotion (ages 4-10).  Lessons and activities: Visit COA’s website, click “Education Programs” and “Resources” for links to environmental and marine lessons and education ideas (all ages).  Take action and responsibility: Start an environmental action club that meets monthly and chooses three actions to work on throughout the school year, such as: assigning student energy monitors to reduce energy waste and consumption at school; designating recycling monitors to encourage recycling and reusing items in school; eliminating single-use plastics in the cafeteria, during snack time, and at classroom parties; eliminating foam plastic trays from the cafeteria; promoting reusable beverage bottle use and discouraging use of water and beverage bottles; planting a garden; and organizing monthly cleanups on school property and throughout the local community. Be green for big blue! Treat your ocean like your life depends on it…because it does! For more information about COA’s education programs, contact Kari Martin, Education Coordinator at 732.872.0111 or citizens@ cleanoceanaction.org.

Holmdel Golfer Making History By Cathy Padilla

CM: What is it like playing in the Girl’s Junior PGA Championship? Megha: I consider myself fortunate to be surrounded by other junior golfers who are all trying to be the best they can. Getting to meet girls from all over the country, and the world, is amazing.

Megha Ganne, a sophomore at Holmdel High School, is making history in the world of golf. Not only did Megha compete in the 74th U.S. Women’s Open Championship this year in Charleston, SC, but she had an incredible round last month at the Girls Junior PGA Championship held in Hartford, Conn. when she shot a bogey-free 62 with eight birdies, giving her the lowest 18-hole score in Girls Junior PGA Championship history. In the last few months Megha has climbed the national ranks of girls’ golf. With only one slot open, Megha decided to play in the sectional qualifier at the Forsgate Country Club during the Women’s U.S. Open sectional qualifying event. She wanted to experience the fun of the competition and see how she would do. Turns out, she did very well. Megha won the tournament and secured a spot in the U.S. Open by winning by one stroke with an even-par 142 (70-72). No stranger to competition, she has competed the last two years at the Girls Junior Championships, the 2017 U.S. Women’s Amateur, and the 2018 U.S. Women’s Four-Ball Championship. Megha has also been a finalist the last four years at the Drive, Chip and Putt Championships, being the only junior golfer to do so in the event’s six-year existence. CM caught up with Megha between tournaments to learn more about what drives this athlete. CM: How did you get started in golf? Megha: I got started at age 7 when my dad, Hari, brought me to the driving range at Galloping Hills Golf Course. He enrolled me in the First Tee Program as well as Girls Golf. CM: What do you most love about the sport? What do you find most challenging? Megha: I love that every day is a new challenge, and you constantly get to play a new golf course with brand new conditions. I find just about everything in the game of golf to be challenging, but that’s what makes it worth it for me.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE www.CommunityMagazineNJ.com

CM: Do you get nervous before you compete? Any superstitions or routines? Megha: I don’t get too nervous before I play, especially after my experience at the U.S Women’s Open, but even when I do, it’s not a bad thing, it just reminds me that I care. I’m not a very superstitious person, and my pre-round routine tends to change quite often depending on how I’m feeling. CM: What type of training do you do for your sport? Megha: During the winter I practice mostly indoors, other than the days which are above 45 degrees, for around 3-4 hours a day. I am a part of Holmdel High School’s golf team in the Spring. Summer time consists of only golf for me. I spend most of my summer competing in events, and I spend anywhere from 4-8 hours a day on the golf course. CM: What do you hope to achieve in the sport? Megha: I want to play Division 1 College Golf and continue to improve and push myself to be better. And I hope to enjoy playing golf as much as I do now in the future. CM: What are you interested in outside of golf? Megha: On the rare occasion I’m not golfing, you’ll probably find me doing something outside. I love anything like biking, swimming, or playing tennis. I also make sure to spend time with my family and friends. (Megha lives in Holmdel with her father, Hari, her mother, Sudha, and her younger sister, Sirina.) CM: Do you have a favorite quote or mantra? Megha: Pressure is a privilege CM: Who is your biggest inspiration? Megha: I don’t have any one person that I look up to above all. But I do appreciate many players on the LPGA tour. Playing in the U.S Open allowed me to meet many of my role models and learn from the best parts of each of them. Players like Maria Fassi, Azahara Munoz, Lexi Thompson, and many more taught me to be a great person on, and off, the golf course.

Colts Neck teen Tatum Menake knows firsthand about losing someone to cancer. Within the last few years she has lost two family members to the disease. Her mother, Laurie, noted that while many of her friends were busy with school and work, Tatum chose to be “Consoler-in-Chief” for many of her family members who were grieving from loss. Sixteen-year-old Tatum, who has an older and younger brother, participates in an online school and will be a junior in September. Her favorite subject is English. She enjoys baking, yoga, and kickboxing classes. Tatum is an aspiring model and hairstylist. “I really want to inspire others to be creative and be themselves. So I hope something good can come out of modeling or being a hairstylist,” said Tatum.

Fights Childhood Cancer in a Sweet Way

By Susan Murphy

Tatum’s family wanted to recognize her generous spirit by throwing her a Super Sweet 16 party at Addison Park in Aberdeen. Tatum agreed to the party on one condition - guests and her family had to make a donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital to help fight childhood cancer. She also encouraged guests to donate to the charity whatever amount they might have spent on a birthday gift for her. The response from her guests and her family to make a donation was great. Tatum shared her thoughts about the party and her decision to ask for donations. “The party was absolutely magical! It was the best night of my life thanks to my amazing parents. I made the decision to donate because it will help young children and families.”

Back to School – Now What? Next month the children will return to school after a long, hot summer. Camps, vacations, and just having the children home all the time is enough for any parent to worry about. Having the children around all day, all summer, no matter their age, is time consuming and requires your full attention. But what happens when they go back to school? You have more time to focus on the state of your marriage. Is it worth saving? Does she want to save it? Does he want to save it? What do we have to do to save it? Or, conversely, if you conclude that divorce is inevitable, what do I do now? What am I facing? Will I survive? Will the children survive? Most family lawyers will tell you that they see an increase in new clients within a month or so after Labor Day for just this reason. The children are back to school and the adults have more time to focus on their very real personal concerns. So, what should you do if the state of your marriage has you preoccupied or even causes you to lose sleep at night?

The threshold decision to be made is whether you think the marriage is worth saving and whether your spouse agrees. If so, counseling is required because a relationship that reaches this point will require professional help if it is to have a chance of being salvaged. And, of course, this requires the unqualified commitment of both spouses to do the hard work that counseling requires. Without it, any attempt to reconcile is doomed to fail. And if you conclude that your marriage isn’t worth saving or can’t be saved, what do you do? First, don’t panic. You may need to consider individual counseling to help you get through the emotional rough spots or to navigate the bumpy stressful road ahead. Second, try to put aside emotion (easy to say, hard to do) to realistically consider life (the children’s, your spouse’s and yours) after divorce. Which parent should the children primarily live with? Think about what makes sense for them, not about an emotional need to win or to get revenge. How much support is needed? How much can be afforded?

Every need and desire can’t always be met. Two people have to live – in separate households – after the divorce. That adds expenses with generally no increase in income These are just a few examples of the plethora of issues that intersect divorce. Divorce affects every family member and every family member’s needs must be considered when trying to reach a resolution. You’ll need the guidance of an experienced family lawyer to help you answer these questions, to make sure you haven’t forgotten important issues, and to set reasonable expectations for you. Thinking about a broken relationship and the possibility of ending a marriage is daunting. It isn’t pleasant, but ignoring it doesn’t change the fact that you are unhappy. So once the children go back to school and you have time to think – THINK! And then engage professionals to help you down the path you choose. Life is too short to live in a broken marriage. You can either work to fix it or work to end it, but ignoring it doesn’t work at all.

Monmouth County Historical Association By Susan Murphy

Celebrates Anniversary

Monmouth County Historical Association (MCHA) held its 44th annual Garden Party on June 30 at Mostly Oaks in Rumson. Nearly 400 people attended the event including Senator Joseph Kyrillos, and Freeholder Lillian Burry. All guests were welcomed to Mostly Oaks by its current owners Trustee Kara Short and her husband Charlie. Information received from MCHA notes that Mostly Oaks was built in the late 1870’s by John Lawrence Riker and his wife Mary Jackson Riker. It was one of several ocean-front summer retreats built for their nine children, many of whose descendants still live in the Rumson area today. MCHA further shared that Mostly Oaks is intrisically tied to the family of this year’s Garden Party honoree, Charles H. “Chuck” Jones III, who is the great-great grandson of John Lawrence Riker and Mary Anne Jackson Riker. His great grandparents, J. Amory Haskell and Margaret Moore Riker Haskell, a trustee and major benefactress of MCHA, lived at Mostly Oaks every summer from 1891 until 1903. Chuck is a nephew or cousin in

with Garden Party

some way, shape or form to every inhabitant of Mostly Oaks between 1903 to 1988, and is a great friend of the home’s current owners, gracious Garden Party hosts Charlie and Kara Short. Honoree Charles “Chuck” Jones became a trustee in 2013 and during his tenure, spearheaded a number of innovative initiatives. As Chair of the Education Committee, Dr. Jones was integral in the conception and execution of the popular Fourth of July Celebration at the Allen House Tavern Museum in Shrewsbury. He also oversaw a comprehensive assessment and innovation of the MCHA Volunteer program designed to optimize the experience of the docents and numerous additional supporters vital to the Association, streamlined and energized the recruitment process. Dr. Jones also piloted an in-depth evaluation of each of the MCHA historic properties, delivering a detailed assessment of the historical significance, value to the community, attendance trends, necessary improvements and overall cost projections. In 2017, Dr. Jones stepped away from his trusteeship to assume the duties of Interim Director of the MCHA.

Salvatore Cannizzaro MAKING CHILDHOOD DREAMS A REALIT Y S TO RY: C ATH Y PA D I LL A | PH OTO: C A R ME L A C A R AC A PPA PH OTOGR A PH Y

he expression “self-made man” has been around for many years. The term was born to popular culture on February 2, 1832 on the floor of the United States Senate when Henry Clay used it to describe individuals whose success came from within, owing little or nothing to birth, relationships, inherited wealth, or access to the best schooling. After meeting Salvatore Cannizzaro, his story may be the one you think of first when the notion of self-made is again heard. But it’s a story of a man who was not entirely without assistance. His help came from the ocean, his love for boats, and a deep desire to achieve.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

A first-generation youngest son, born to immigrant parents from Sicily, Sal lost his dad when he was only three-years-old. His mother raised him and his younger brother on her own in New York, and Sal speaks of the challenges his family faced as having been “underprivileged”. Because times were difficult, Sal learned early that money and work were a priority. In middle school he joined a program allowing him to learn the trade of printing. While other kids were out playing ball, Sal was finding ways to make things happen. One of the ways Sal discovered to make things happen came from an old fishing pole. Having found it while riding his bike, Sal used the encountered treasure to fish for dinner, taking his prizes from the sea home to his mother. But the young boy would take so much more from his afternoons watching the boats glide under the Verrazzano Bridge. A deep desire, a dream, a goal formed that would lead to uncommon success. “I used to sit there fishing as a kid, watching all the beautiful boats,” shared Sal. “I promised myself one day I would have a luxury boat and sail under the Verrazzano too. The day I achieved my vision was amazing. I took our first boat, the Lady Diana named for my daughter, and I made my dream come true.” Today, Sal and his wife of 38-years, Debbie, live in a home in Rumson on the banks of the Navesink. His private dock leads to their latest boat, The Blue Moon, and a lifetime of dreams fulfilled. Sal is the founder of both Immediate Care Medical Walk-In Centers and SFC Enterprises, Inc., a real estate development company. But his path as an entrepreneur started much earlier. At the age of 24, after having worked for several printing companies, Sal started his own print shop. At first printing whatever was needed, be it fliers or invitations, he

soon discovered an unmet need in the market. Generic drug makers, known as private labels, were looking for companies to print their packaging. Most other operations didn’t want to take on these smaller jobs, but Sal willingly did and became the go-to label and packaging manufacturer. His company, Innovative Folding Carton Co., which is still operating today as Multi Packaging Solutions (MPS), sustained much growth and several relocations. When Innovative purchased a building in South Plainfield, Sal managed the complete renovation and subsequent 35,000 square foot expansion of the building, ultimately creating a showcase 100,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The company grew to be a profitable, highly-respected manufacturer that employed 270 people. In 1998, Sal sold the company to a venture capital firm and set off on a new adventure. Knowing he has a knack for all things design-related, and not wanting to be retired at too young of an age, Sal started SFC Enterprises believing he could continue to develop real estate successfully. Today he runs the business with his son, Frank. “My next goal is to take my vision, along with my son, Frank, and continue to watch it flourish,” said Sal. “We can bring it to reality together, so I can then spend more time helping others in the community, traveling with my wife, fishing, and boating.” Sal saw another need in the marketplace and set out to make something new happen yet again. Having the ability to build commercial and medical offices, in 2012 Sal took the urgent care concept and combined it with primary care in the same location. Now he has a group of nine urgent care centers throughout New Jersey.

Meet Your Neighbor Name: Salvatore F. Cannizzaro, is married to Debbie. They have two grown children: Frank and Diana. Frank is the Vice President of Construction for SFC Enterprises, Inc. Diana is a Team Sports Reporter at Philadelphia Soul. Nicknames: Sal or Mr. C. Monmouth County Connection: Lived in Holmdel for 17 years, currently lives in Rumson on the Navesink River. Owns Immediate Care Medical Walk-In Centers and SFC Enterprises, Inc. Best life tip to share: “Be humble, listen, always stay positive, and don’t take no for an answer.” Favorite Quote: “Make it Happen.” Three words he feels best describe him: “Charismatic, passionate, visionary.” Most influential person in his life: “My wife is my anchor and keeps me in perspective.”

“We are unique in the fact that we can design and build the medical space for these practices and are able to get to market quicker and more economically,” said Sal. “On a more personal level, I believe what sets me apart from others is the ability to bring an approach filled with innovative ideas, passion, and charisma to work

every day not only for myself, but for my employees, helping to create a unique family environment in the workplace.” Immediate Care Medical Walk-In Centers have been fulfilling another dream of Sal’s for the past five years by giving back to kids in the local community. (See below). When asked what project he’ll tack-

le next, Sal is quick to reply that he looks forward to more time with Debbie on his boat, since he’s been promising her for years that he’ll retire. However, he’s also quick to mention some ideas he has to help children and the elderly. It will be interesting to see what Sal makes happen next.

Taking Kids Along for the Ride Sal Cannizzaro, CEO of Immediate Care Medical Walk-In of New Jersey, will be hosting the 5th Annual Kids Fishing Trip on Monday, August 19 out of Atlantic Highlands on the Mi-Jo. Sponsored by Immediate Care, in support of community organizations including Father Time, the RAINE Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth & Middlesex Counties and The Frances Foundation, about 60 children and adults will get to enjoy a fun day of fishing on the 75-foot charter boat.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

“This is one of my favorite days of the year,” said Sal, who is passionate about giving back to the community. “I’m grateful for all of our partners and sponsors that make this event possible and help it to grow year after year.” In addition to enjoying a fun day of fishing on the boat, the kids who catch the biggest fish will receive first, second, and thirdplace prizes donated by Mangia Brick Oven Pizza of Shrewsbury.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders recently launched the Grown in Monmouth Equine Directory. The Directory will help residents and visitors find horse farms in the County that offer riding lessons, equine therapy, horse boarding and more. “It’s summer in Monmouth County and the Board of Chosen Freeholders encourages residents and visitors to take advantage of all that the County has to offer,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Division of Economic Development. “People of all ages can enjoy an array of fun equine activities while supporting local, County businesses.” The Grown in Monmouth Equine Directory is an interactive map that enables users to pinpoint the exact location as well as contact information for a variety of horse farms throughout the County. “I am delighted that the Grown in Monmouth program has published a directory that encompasses both equine activities and services,” said Freehold Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Board of Agriculture. “As a long-time supporter of the agricultural industry and equine community, I understand the tremendous impact that these businesses have on the County’s economy.” “On September 21, 2019 - the Open Space Pace starts with a parade of horses down Main Street in Freehold Borough culminating at the Freehold track,” said Freeholder Burry. “This is where we celebrate the marriage between open space and the horse which is uniquely Monmouth County.” Grown in Monmouth is a program by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders designed to help retain and grow the County’s agricultural industry.

College Bound Students Embrace Community Service

Left to right: LiliAnn Paras, Senator Vin Gopal, Jade Falvo Fernandes, Moriah Roof, Talula Dechev, Bryn Horner, Robert Dykeman, Kaelah Grant,Ethan Howe, and Cindy O’Brien

THE VIN GOPAL CIVIC ASSOCIATION (VGCA) awarded scholarships to fifteen students from ten Monmouth County high schools. The $500 scholarships focused primarily on participation in community service and academic achievements. Too many times the portrayals of “Generation Z” are negative; these students exemplify an awareness of the world, good citizenship, earnestness, and a commitment to continue in addressing social concerns. A compelling question on the application asked the students to describe what ‘keeps you up at night’ about the country or the world, and what changes they would like to see. The Scholarship Committee co-chairs, Cindy O’Brien and LiliAnn Paras, were struck by the deep and varied responses, noting a particular focus on global warming and the environment, gun safety, civil discourse, poverty, and criminal justice. The mood was much lighter at the celebration held at The Downtown in Red Bank! There was a lot of mingling with the eclectic group of students, their families, donors and special guests. Senator Vin Gopal formally welcomed the awardees and their families.

He thanked the owners of Saker ShopRite for their generous donation to VGCA in support of the scholarship program. Rick Saker was on hand to speak to the group about the importance of service. He then paused and expressed how impressed he was with the students he met that night and sincerely invited the students to contact him about internships and other career opportunities. The highlight of the evening was hearing each student share where he or she would attend college and the intended majors. The students were commended by the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly from the 11th District (signed by Senator Vin Gopal, Assemblywoman Joann L. Downey, Esp, and Assemblyman Eric T. Houghtaling) and from the 13th District (signed by Senator Declan O’ Scanlon, and Serena DiMaso and Amy H. Handlin, Members of the General Assembly.) The evening was rounded out with two returning VGCA scholarship winners candidly describing the highs and lows of the first year of college. Scholarships are not the only way the VGCA reaches out to the community. It rec-

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

ognizes that in our local communities there are many groups affected by our unique high cost of living. The mission of the VGCA is to “help those who are the backbone of our communities to maintain a fruitful, independent life by lending a helping hand wherever we can and by fostering a relationship with other civic and religious groups with similar goals in helping our communities.” The Scholarship Recipients and colleges: Mahi Patel, The College of NJ; Erika Tan, University of Texas – Austin; Vivian Parkin De Rosa, Smith College; Susanna Ferrier,UCLA; Nelson Lin, Brown University; Ryan Moore, University of Delaware; Scott McLaughlin, Stockton University; Jade Falvo Fernandes, Monmouth University; Moriah Roof, Monmouth University; Frank Illiano, Monmouth University; Kaelah Grant, Drexel University; Talula Dechev, University North Carolina Wiilmington; Robert DyKeman, Loyola University of Maryland; Bryn Horner, University of South Carolina; and Ethan Howe, Northeastern University.

Building the Trinity Hall Community

Trinity Hall, an independent, all-girls college preparatory school, will begin its seventh school year this fall. The school opened in Fall 2013 with 30 ninth-grade students, and will welcome 300 students in grades nine through 12 for the 2019-2020 school year. With a 20,000 square foot building addition, completed in early 2019, the Trinity Hall campus accommodates its growing student body while maintaining small class sizes and an all-honors curriculum. Trinity Hall’s Class of 2019, with 22 graduates total, was its smallest class to date. “Although small in number, they proved to be very mighty this year,” said Christina Bergamo, director of college counseling. “These 22 impressive young women were accepted into 74 different colleges and universities that span our country and were awarded over $4.6 million in merit-based academic scholarships. We are incredibly proud of all this senior class has accomplished during their four years with us and are eager to see the positive impact they will make on their college campuses all across the country.” Trinity Hall’s Class of 2020 reflects the school’s steady growth, with 65 students scheduled to earn their diplomas next spring. The Monarchs athletics teams look to continue their strong performance this year after winning the 2018-2019 ShopRite Cup, awarded by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) to the highest performing school in each division based on points accrued for state tournament performance and season-long sportsmanship. Trinity Hall is a member of NJSIAA, the Shore Conference and the New Jersey Independent School Athletic Association (NJISAA), and competes against public, parochial and independent schools in Monmouth County and throughout the state at the junior varsity and varsity levels. For students interested in the performing arts, the school produces two staged performances each year, with a drama in the fall and a musical in the spring. “Not only do students perform onstage and in the orchestra pit, but they support each production behind the scenes,” said Ellen Phillips, theatre teacher and director. “Our students are directing, choreographing, designing and creating costumes, building sets and props, managing the house and all the technical aspects of the productions.” For more information, visit trinityhallnj.org.

2013, his wife, Feli Donato, along with friends and family wanted to find a way to honor his memory. The Moroccan Sheepherders had performed on back of their boat, Kemosabe, twice in 2012 and it seemed a fitting honor to continue the tradition by starting Artiepalooza. In August of 2013, a music and boats party was started and has continued each year since, except for 2018, which was canceled due to high winds. This year there were more than 400 boats attending. “Each year we have raised money during the event for David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation”, said Steve Warendorf of The Moroccan Sheepherders. “The event takes place on Blossom Cove on the Navesink, just northeast of Red Bank. Each year Feli’s brother Sam Donato brings his boat, Bad Donato, to house family and close friends for the day. Dominic Piccini has housed the band on his boat, Time Out, since 2016, (years 2013-2015 friend Ken Gallop housed the band on Big Kidd). Also, Rich and Amy Muska tie their boat up the Amy Lee, along with Mike Fissell’s boat, Sea Rascal. It’s a floating music city. It’s a truly amazing day.”

Back-to-School

‘Real’ Life Tips! By Hope Daniels Starting a new school year can be absolutely terrifying for your kid. Obviously moving up grade levels is the customary course in life, but that doesn’t make it any more comfortable walking into a new school, unknown hallway or unfamiliar classroom for the first time. We as parents, should compare it to some of our most intimidating first-time experiences, like showing up for our first day at work, being introduced to the in-laws, or going on our first family playdate. Ever! We all know these scenarios can turn out to be successful moments or unfortunate cringeworthy events. Oprah Winfrey once said, “Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom.” Do you remember what you needed to succeed in kindergarten, middle school or senior year? The best way to carefully handle such sensitive situations is to learn from students who have already witnessed the world your child is about to enter. My 7-year-old son said, “First grade is cold, so bring a sweatshirt for the classroom.” Check out these unforgettable quotes from current students to rally your child for back-to-school (by the way not all of these are as inspirational as Oprah’s). Pre-k: “You’ll have fun! You’ll meet new friends and your friends will be really nice. If anyone is not nice just walk away.” Must-have item: “Grapes! Every time I opened my lunch, I saw grapes and it made me happy because they’re my favorite.” Kindergarten: “Always bring a snack. One time my mom forgot to pack me with one and I was very sad.” Must-have item: “Crayons.” 1st Grade: “You should be a good listener.” Must-have item: “Friends because you will be happy to have someone special to hang out with.” 2nd Grade: “You get homework.” Must-have item: “A folder that carries your homework that won’t rip.” 3rd Grade: “The first rule you need to know about 3rd grade is to always have fun but make sure you’re being responsible with your decisions. Rule number two is always be kind to one another. In addition, rule number three is always accept new people and never exclude anybody.” Must-have items: “Meditation, deep breaths and something squishy as a stress ball.”

4th Grade: “It becomes more social and your friends start to become your squad.” Must-have items: “Your own personality because it gets you very far especially with making new friends. Plus, your creativity is used to decorate all your back-to-school supplies.” 5th Grade: “This grade is much harder than previous ones. Make sure you study.” Must-have items: “Don’t ever forget to bring your study book home the night before a test.” 6th Grade: “Pay attention to your teacher. If you start to daydream, push it away in your mind and look straight back at him or her.” Must-have item: “Water bottle” 7th Grade: “Try out for teams or join clubs. Sample many to see which one you enjoy or find interesting.” Must-have item: “A watch” 8th Grade: “Wear deodorant – don’t be the smelly kid.” Must-have item: “Five Star brand accordion canvas file was a life saver because it keeps all of your stuff neat and organized.” 9th Grade: “Don’t be shy, learn how to communicate with your teacher especially when you need to email them about an assignment from home.” Must-have item: “Chromebook or Computer” 10th Grade: “Procrastination is not your friend. Time management and balance are key to staying focused. You really don’t want to find yourself having barely started a month-long Civil War research paper four days before it’s due and then pulling an all-nighter to get it done.” Must-have item: “Hole puncher and planner to stay organized.” 11th Grade: “School spirit is a big deal. Make sure to purchase the right gear and logos for the sport you represent.” Must-have item: “Headphones by the pack.” 12th Grade: “Upcoming seniors should expect that everyone (your family, friends, teachers, advisors) will all start to ask you what you plan to study in college. I would advise, if you plan to go to college, that you research possible majors and see what interests you. If you don’t know what you want to study yet, that’s okay, too.” Must-have items: “Coffee and a good parking spot in the school lot.” Disclaimer: These are actual quotes from students of various ages.
