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

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

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

RFH Euro Challenge and Fed Challenge

teams go far in recent competitions

The Rumson Fair Haven Euro Challenge team.—Photo courtesy Joe Lanza By KAITLIN SEVERINI Correspondent RUMSON BOROUGH — On April 28, the RFH Euro Challenge team took third place and earned scholarship money in the finals of the sixth annual Euro Challenge, a competition in which teams of high school sophomores make presentations and answer questions about the European economy and its currency, the euro, with each team concentrating on a specific country and economic issue. “They did a great job,” Joe Lanza, RFH economics teacher and advisor to the Euro Challenge and Fed Challenge teams, said. “I knew their research was excellent, and they did a great job of presenting.” RFH’s Euro Challenge team, led by five competitive team members and one alternate, was one of just five teams chosen to be in the finals, and came in behind only two others, International Academy Central of Michigan and Montclair High School of New Jersey. “I don’t think there was anything that we missed,” Lanza said. “We didn’t answer any questions incorrectly and we were neck and neck with [the other teams]. It can get a little bit subjective on the part of the judges because some of the answers are opinions. But the results are the results.” “We’re happy where we are,” he continued. “Afterwards, other teachers came up and told us, ‘Wow, that was great.’ You feel good about that. The kids feel good.” RFH team members elected to discuss the issue of unemployment, paying special attention to the problem of youth unemployment, in Spain. During their presentation, team members first compared the economic health of the European Union to that of the United States. They then focused specifically on Spain and its unemployment rate, and proposed solutions to tackling this issue. “I think [covering this problem] gave us an edge,” Lanza said. “We had a niche. And we decided to take [unemployment] a little bit further by sub-defining it and looking at the youth unemployment rate. We created a debate focusing on both types of unemploy-

ment and [Spain’s] high dropout rate.” The Euro Challenge competition is launched and supported by the Delegation of the European Union of the United States in Washington, D.C. and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and was created to get younger students (only juniors and seniors can participate in the Fed Challenge program) involved. It began in the Tri-state region with only 10 schools and has since expanded nationwide to include more than 80. Despite the increasing competition, RFH’s Euro Challenge teams have performed well year after year. “It’s a great experience for [the students],” Lanza said. “It’s a great competition and it’s growing. [The judges] are amazed at how these kids can put together a quality presentation. The program has been rewarding for a number of our students.” The RFH Fed Challenge team also had a successful performance in this year’s competition, making it to the semifinal round again the Montclair High School team, which went on to win first place. “Our team did an excellent job,” Lanza said. “The kids were happy. There was no shame in losing to [Montclair]. It was a lot tougher this year and I wasn’t disappointed at all. We showed good teamwork.” Lanza attributes much of the success of the Fed Challenge team (as well as the Euro Challenge team) to the students’ dedication to and interest in keeping up with current events. He believes that it may have been Montclair’s polished, to-the-point answers that gave them a slight advantage in the semifinal round, but Lanza is confident that in the future, his students can improve in this area. “It’s something to work on,” Lanza said. “We’ve already gotten a lot better at providing anecdotal information. Our kids do a lot of reading and give good examples.” For information on the Euro Challenge program, please visit euro-challenge.org.

Fair Haven mayor discusses changes, vision for borough By KAITLIN SEVERINI Correspondent

FAIR HAVEN BOROUGH — After my interview with Fair Haven Mayor Michael Halfacre, he and I, along with his six-yearold son, Marshall, walked the quarter of a mile from the Java Stop to the Halfacre’s home street, where I also lived for most of my life and where my parents still live. Along the way, the mayor nudged River Road’s newest additions—planters, empty at the time—back into place and talked with me about what the main drag would look like when the planters were filled with flowers. The way he talked, it wasn’t hard to imagine. Halfacre grew up on Fair Haven Road and is a native of the town—having lived out of state only during the years he was earning his undergraduate and law degrees, at Florida State University and Dayton University in Ohio, respectively—and his interest and investment in it is obvious. “I always wanted to stay in Fair Haven,” Halfacre said. “The longer you are away you realize how good it is here, and it was natural to come back. After seeing the rest of the country, it’s clear that Fair Haven is a very special place.” As a lawyer (specializing in real estate law) and with a history of involvement in

Fair Haven’s school board and council, Halfacre’s migration to the world of politics was a natural progression. “Around 2006 or so, I woke up and looked around, and I thought that Fair Haven could do things better,” Halfacre said. “It’s a great town, but there were little things around the edges that I thought we could improve. So I decided to try to make them better.” Since his election in 2006, and reelection in 2010, Halfacre has had his share of critics—as any politician will—but his positive contributions to the town, from headline-worthy achievements like lowering property taxes to the minutia involved in improving Fair Haven’s aesthetic appearance, can’t be denied. “I came with an eye to making Fair Haven run more like a business,” Halfacre said. “I came in looking to run things more efficiently. I found a lot of ways that we could do that. We picked people that shared our vision for improving the town. We’ve done a lot of things and spent less money.” To lower property taxes, Halfacre made key personnel changes and reassigned town employees. Within a year of his election, the town council had a new borough administrator, clerk, engineer, department of public works supervisor and recreation director.

a o d t

Fair Haven Mayor Michael Halfacre poses with his family. While it may seem that the council “cleaned house,” Halfacre assured me that the changes were not intentional, but seemed to work themselves out as his vision—and the vision of his council—took shape. “I’m proud of the whole package,”

Halfacre said of succeeding in lowering property taxes, which was a key issue during the 2006 election. “We’ve done that in a lot of little ways without affecting services to the townspeople. We’re lucky because I have a town council that shares a lot of my beliefs; the overall vision is consistent

Grand Opening - June 4th 86 Broad Street Red Bank

Located inside Ricky’s of Red Bank Fair Haven Mayor Michael Halfacre (fourth from left) at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new dock.–Both photos courtesy Michael Halfacre and that has allowed us to do things that other towns haven’t been able to do. The downtown has improved significantly. The tax rate has stabilized.” Another such thing was hiring a fulltime recreation director, which, at first, met some criticism. The appointment of Charlie Hoffman, however, has yielded largely positive results. The laundry list of summer activities available to Fair Haven residents of all ages is proof of his efforts. “Charlie has added program after program that people rave about,” Halfacre said. “Those programs increase the sense of community that people are looking for when they come to Fair Haven. Together [they] make Fair Haven, Fair Haven.” “We had two hundred people at the egg hunt,” the mayor continued. “The fatherdaughter dance sold out; it was one of the most popular things we’ve ever done. [Charlie’s] probably the most popular guy in town.” When I asked Halfacre, who between running his own business and serving as mayor exercises as much as he can and was once an avid triathlete, if his own interest in fitness influenced his decision about hiring Hoffmann, he said it hadn’t—at least not consciously. “Getting kids outdoors and giving them opportunities to exercise is very important,” Halfacre said. “I see it in my family with my kids, how our society has reached a point where [kids] don’t pick up

a baseball. We have 6,000 residents; over a thousand of [them] are in kindergarten to eighth grade. How do we not serve that population? We serve that population by getting them outside.” So what’s next? I asked Halfacre what he had planned for the future, and he admitted that he didn’t plan on “FDR-ing” it for another term. With two kids going to college in the next four years—a daughter and a son who both attend Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School—and another child to raise, his family will be, and is, his priority. But he did have some hopes for Fair Haven’s future. “I’d like to envision Fair Haven not changing a heck of a lot in the next 20 years,” Halfacre said. “The way the government delivers services to people will change, but the goal is to not have that change what Fair Haven is. And that’s a balancing act. I love being able to walk anywhere I want. I love that the kids can go anywhere they want relatively safely. I like knowing a lot of people. I go to a baseball game, and I’ve gone to high school with half the people on the sidelines.” And what about his successor, whoever he or she might be? “I tell people that it takes up as much time as you can give it,” Halfacre said. “If you don’t spend a single minute being mayor, the police patrol, the garbage gets picked up, the town won’t disappear. But every minute that you do spend makes a difference.”

What’s happening this summer in Fair Haven By KAITLIN SEVERINI Correspondent

FAIR HAVEN BOROUGH — This summer, Fair Haven’s Park and Recreation Department, spearheaded by Director Charlie Hoffmann, will be hosting a variety of fun summer events from April to September for residents of all ages. Beginning in April and May with local bands The Band of Two Rivers and Salva Vidas, Parks and Recreation kicked off its summer concert series at the Fair Haven Dock (at the end of Fair Haven Road). These monthly concerts, which begin at 6:30 p.m., feature student bands as openers, followed by local bands—including River Road (June 4), Late for Lunch (July 8) and Big Poppa Belle (August 6)—as the main acts. Admission is free. “It’s cool,” Hoffmann said. “[The student bands] warm up the crowd and the concerts give the kids some experience. The event is fun and draws a good crowd.” The Movies in the Park series will feature family films, like “Despicable Me,” every other Tuesday from June to August (dates to be confirmed soon) in Fair Haven Fields, directly across from Meadow Ridge Park. Each movie week will follow a different theme, so check out the Parks

and Recreation website for what’s to come. Admission is free. A summer favorite event is back for the third year in a row: the Fair Haven Campout. On Friday, July 29 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. in Fair Haven Fields, residents can pitch tents, roll out sleeping bags, make s’mores and socialize with friends and family under the stars. Parks and Recreation will provide a DJ, concession stand and contests. See the Fair Haven website for more details. “It’s a big thing for the town,” Hoffmann said. “It’s great.” The Fair Haven Day Camp, “Rec-NCrew,” is also back this summer. Kids entering first grade though kids entering sixth grade in September are eligible to attend. Campers will take part in a variety of activities, such as laser tag, bowling, a day at beach, a trip to Pirate Adventure and boardwalk fun at Jenkinson’s. This

year, Parks and Recreation has extended the camp to kids entering the seventh and eighth grades. Activities will include those listed above, as well as fishing in Fair Haven’s ponds and exploration of the town’s natural areas. The registration deadline for both camps is June 10. For kids interested in sports, Parks and Recreation is offering camps—in everything from basketball to cricket—for students of all ages. From August 22–26, kids ages 3 to 14 are invited to attend a multi-sports camp run by an athletic group from England, which will introduce nearly 20 different sports to the kids, including basketball, baseball, football, cricket and rugby. Drop-in sports (basketball and volleyball) for upper elementary-school and high school students will be held on Thursday nights from 6–9 p.m. in the Knollwood School gym. The weeklong field hockey camp for fifth- through eighth-grade girls will begin on July 18. Other camps include fashion camp (dates coming soon), which will comprise a threeday workshop for kids entering fourth to eighth grades. Attendees will learn about accessorizing and designing outfits, and at the end of the camp will have produced their own mini-line. This program has been

run before in the spring; this is the first time Parks and Recreation is holding the camp during the summer. Hobby classes, in which kids ages 7–12 will build, paint and fly model airplanes and complete other projects, will be held from July 19–21. Fair Haven’s “Mad Science” program will be open to kids entering grades first through sixth and will be held August 15–19. The weeklong program will inspire kids to perform experiments and develop an interest in science. Fair Haven Parks and Recreation has a wide variety of activities and events in store this summer for residents of all ages and interests. For information on any of the programs mentioned above, please visit the Parks and Recreation website at www. fairhavennj.org/content/recreation or contact Charlie Hoffman at (732) 747-0241, ext. 216.

Ranney School joins

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

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

BBBS PROFILE

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

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

PET CORNER Where’s Moose?

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

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

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

Everyone who responds will receive a “Where’s Moose Moore?” Tshirt, courtesy of Community Publications and Market ME Printing in Hazlet. One random correct response will also receive a special prize. This month, the prize is a free massage from A Kneaded Vacation. Clues can be found on the Facebook pages of Community Publications and Moose Moore.

Last month:

The grand prize winner, Jeff Bierly, knew that Moose was standing in front of the Two River Theater in Red Bank.

KERSON is a 2-year old lab mix. He was rescued from a cruelty/hoarding situation. He is a very sweet dog and has lived with other dogs and cats. Kerson is shy at first but warms up quickly with a gentle touch and slow approach.

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

Assume that Mr. person who has a limited amount By Smith sells his house, worth of assets. Because Medicaid is only JOHN CALLINAN $100,000, to his son for $50,000. Mr. Smith has made available to individuals who have a limited amount of resources, Medicaid a $50,000 uncompensated transfer.

This period of time is called the lookback instance, if Mr. Smith made a $2,000 uncomperiod. Prior to February 2006, the lookback pensated transfer in each of the years precedperiod was three years. Now, the lookback ing the date of application, Medicaid would period is five years. What this means is that aggregate all five of those transfers and punwhen an individual applies for Medicaid, the ish Mr. Smith for having made a $10,000

Legally Speaking

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

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