New Art Exhibit at the Monmouth Museum 8 Uncommon Threads, a new art exhibit highlighting the creations of eight fiber artists, is now open in the Monmouth Museum’s Main Gallery and will be available until November 7. The eight artists whose work is represented are: Ellen Piccolo, Madeleine Appell, Margaret Walsh, Joyce Crupi, Kirsten Fisher, Shari Werner, Martha McDonald, and Susan Byrnes. The artists use the medium of fabric and incorporate the elements and principles of design in their quilts. This group of women meets regularly to critique and encourage one another, focusing on color, form, line, shape, space, texture, and value, as they aim to create quilts that are intuitive, experimental, and expressive. “The exhibit brings the Main Gallery to life with vibrant colors and designs,” said Monmouth Museum Executive Director Erika Schaefer. “All of the fiber artists are extraordinarily talented and we are so pleased to have their work displayed at the Museum.” “We are very excited and honored to exhibit our quilts at the Monmouth Museum. It validates our efforts and allows us to show our work to a larger audience,” shared Susan Byrnes. In addition to the Main Gallery exhibit, the Museum will have on display their collection of sewing bird clamps, which is the

second largest collection in the country next to the Smithsonian. “The collection was donated to the Museum by Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Bijur with the oldest clamp dating back to 1825,” shared Schaefer. Most popular in the 1850s-1890s, a sewing bird is a table clamp that supports a bird on its top. The lower body of the bird is stationary while the upper body is hinged, and there is a spring in the tail. When the upper

Monmouth County Invites Residents to “Light up the Shore” to Honor Heroes of 9/11

The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, in conjunction with the 53 municipalities in Monmouth County, will host “Light Up the Shore” in honor of the lives lost and the fearless display of heroism by rescue teams and citizens who responded to the tragedy on September 11, 2001. Elected officials and residents are invited to arrive along the shoreline and use their cellphones at 8:46

and lower tail ends are pinched together, the beak opens, allowing the edge of a fabric to be placed in it. Many times, the clamp was referred to as a “third hand” and they became quite ornate as time progressed. The sewing bird became a symbol of wealth because a woman had to have enough disposable income to have such an expensive ordinary household item.

p.m. to light up the skyline to honor the heroes of September 11, 2001. “Today is a somber day for every American especially for the families who lost loved ones on this tragic day in 2001. These lights will pay tribute to them and a reminder that as Americans, we rise up,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “These lights symbolize the enduring American spirit and resolve and a reminder that we will never forget.” “For the families of those lost and to those who are still fighting illnesses stemming from the cleanup, please know Monmouth County will never forget. We especially remember the 147 men and women who called our county home,” said Commissioner Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley. “These lights are a symbol that we will never forget, and we will always rise above tragedy.” For more information, contact your local municipality or the municipality you plan to attend the event in.

The Jersey Shore Partnership stands as the state’s leading advocate and champion of beach restoration to protect our coastline — a natural treasure and major contributor to the state’s tourism industry. “Grace took a leadership role in the state of New Jersey after the devastation of Super Storm Sandy,” said John Gagliano, Board Chairman. ”She is a passionate advocate for the beaches and the tourism economy it supports, and I know that her experience and expertise will prove to be a huge asset to the organization.” “Passing the baton to Grace Hanlon is a natural and perfect fit,” added Cindy Zipf, Executive Director of Clean Ocean Action. “Grace has passion for the coast as well as for the work of the Jersey Shore Partnership.” Hanlon served as the Director of Tourism in NJ during Superstorm Sandy and championed the tourism industry’s comeback after the devastating storm. An experienced executive, she currently serves on the District 11 Legislators Coronavirus Economic Recovery Advisory Council and the National Council of State Tourism Directors in Washington, DC.

YOUR HEALTH

Atlantis Centers Meet Hanan Ayoub, MD, MPH, IMD BY LILIANN PARAS

Dr. Hanan Ayoub is a practitioner, researcher, educator, and pioneer in naturopathic, integrative, and environmental medicine. Early on in her career, Dr. Ayoub was inspired to go beyond traditional medical treatments alone. “I realized there are available natural ways to prevent our body systems from shutting down, and to prevent patients from becoming disabled or dying prematurely,” Dr. Ayoub explained. The Atlantis Centers treats patients, educates those interested in holistic healthcare, and established Waves of Equality, an environmental community outreach organization. CM: How does naturopathic and environmental medicine differ from traditional medical models of care? Dr. Ayoub: Traditional medical providers typically diagnose and focus on one organ at a time, a “reductionistic system.” Natural medicine on the other hand treats our organs and bodily functions as a whole, where it is recognized that our body systems are interconnected and dependent on one another to function. Natural holistic health dates back to ancient times; a recognition that harmony with nature promotes health and wellness. Two hundred years ago, naturopathic and environmental medicine began to address “environmental excitants” which include the risk factors and adverse reactions experienced through human exposures to pollution and imbalances in our surroundings. CM: What surprises some of your patients about this approach? Dr. Ayoub: Many are surprised when they learn that environmental excitants that cause their physical and mental diseases, like depression, come directly from their indoor air quality and backyard. In fact, statistics show that only 40% of depression is due solely to genetics.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

CM: What are some of the causes of sleep disorders? Dr. Ayoub: Insomnia can be a symptom of the onset of depression and recurrence- particularly in the elderly and teenagers. I found that the increased level of exposure to small doses of environmental pollutants, like electromagnetic pollution, can indeed be the cause of their insomnia. Some causes of sleep disorders stem from other environmental factors (noise, heavy metals exposure, and extreme temperatures); neurologic causes (epilepsy, dementia and Alzheimer diseases); neuro-endocrine and hormonal imbalances; weight gain; sleep apnea; and from mental health impairment (anxiety, depression…). These causes often overlap and present an unusual clinical picture. I treated a 40-year-old female radiotherapist who had gotten a Botox injection. This was the cause of her severe insomnia and anxiety disorder. I successfully treated her with homeopathy, high dose vitamin therapy, and energy medicine (laser therapy). CM: What does Sunrise University offer at Atlantis? Dr. Ayoub: Sunrise is one of the first schools of its kind to offer hands-on learning curriculum to nurses, pre-health, and pre-med students in the field of environmental and naturopathic medical education. Simulations and immersive experiences provide a unique natural setting with realistic treatment and care opportunities for students and trainees in environmental neurobiology and sleep medicine. Our goal is to link the health of our environment to the health of patients, both in our communities and on a global scale. CM: You established Waves of Equality, a nonprofit organization dealing with environmental issues affecting adolescents. In what ways is the mission undertaken? Dr. Ayoub: Waves Of Equality is the foundational nonprofit organization devoted to support Sunrise University’s development. The mission is “to create a healthier inclusive educational and clinical training environment through community engagement.” It is led by medical doctors, and pre-med and STEM students from mainstream universities who wish to improve the future of integrative education and medicine, making it inclusive for all levels of ability. This is accomplished through workshops and training, as well as community outreach. CM: Favorite Quote or philosophy? Dr. Ayoub: Discover how you can unlock your body’s ability to heal itself. “The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.” Hippocrates For more information, visit atlantiscenters.com.

Do You Have Trouble Sleeping? The innovative Integrative Sleep Clinic and Wellness Center treats neurological disorders and those due to environmental risk factors, where prescription medication therapy has been unsuccessful. Dr. Hanan Ayoub brings her Integrative, Environmental, and Occupational Medicine Expertise to diagnose and treat sleep disorders, pain, and other health conditions. Interested in preparing as a practitioner in natural health? Enroll in Sunrise University at Atlantis for cutting-edge programs to prepare natural healthcare educators, nurses, and pre-med students. Atlantis is Expanding! Enroll in our workshops to learn about Quantum Medicine And Frequency Healing Technology. “Healing cannot be forced or rushed. True healers must serve with patience and be fully present to each individual patient’s unique lifestyle and needs.” - Hanan Ayoub, MD, MPH, I.MD

Supporters of CPC Behavioral Healthcare gathered for a wonderful evening to celebrate 60 years of providing compassionate mental healthcare throughout Monmouth County. CPC has a mission to provide “person-based” integrated treatment services for mental health, substance use, special education and physical healthall to promote recovery and productive lives. Even the pandemic could not halt its important mission. Instead, CPC quickly implemented telehealth sessions, reserving in-person treatment for those requiring a higher level of care. As a result, more than 11,000 people were counseled last year. The Hawaiian-themed event was held at the Navesink Country Club. Most tables were placed outdoors to maximize safety protocols, and also made for a festive atmosphere. Music was provided by Bob Burger and his band, and guests enjoyed station buffets, unique auction items, and raffles. It was also an opportunity for Vera San-

Twin Lights Expands Historical Reach

memorial to William Henry Meeker (Billy), the Oceanic Free Library of Rumson was given to the people of the borough in 1920 by Billy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eugene Meeker. To celebrate and honor its 100th Anniversary, a Gatsby themed Roaring 20s garden cocktail party will take place on September 12 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Sea Bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club. Music of the time will be provided by Drew Nugent and The Midnight Society; Brennan’s of Rumson will cater; and cocktails will be provided by Little Silver Bottle Shop and Magical Spirits. A silent auction, 50/50, as well as a book sale and a “sponsor a book” event will be a part of the fundraising evening. The Meekers gave both the grounds and the building for a library when Billy was killed while serving as an aviator in the French Army in the early stages of World War I. Originally located on West River Road, the library moved to its present-day location on Avenue of Two Rivers in 1959. The Library name, Oceanic, was derived from one of the earlier names by which the present borough of Rumson was known, a home Billy loved and admired. The celebratory evening will feature newly re-printed versions of Billy’s book, His Book, for sale as well as Rumson history books by local authors. For the “Sponsor a Book” event, attendees will be able to sponsor the repair and rebinding of the library’s precious Meeker collection of autographed books by famous authors of the 1920s, with a selection on display at the event. The event will honor Ed Pomphrey as well as William (Hal) and Karen Hyatt who have been involved with the li-

brary for years. Ed Pomphrey is a fourth generation Rumson resident and an enthusiastic library supporter. He has donated his time and energy as library building caretaker and board association member for many years. The reprint edition of His Book is a gift to the library from Ed and his wife Sarah in remembrance of their son. Karen and William Hyatt raised their family in Rumson and started supporting the Oceanic Library early on, contributing their time for decades. William (Hal) served as a Rumson councilman and President of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club while also serving as a library Trust member.

The Beat Goes On… 25 Years of Music with the Moroccan Sheepherders

BY CATHY PADILLA | PHOTO: CARMELA CARACAPPA PHOTOGRAPHY

t was the year the Spice Girls hit the radio waves with their debut single Wannabe, Alanis Morissette was the number one female artist, and Los Del Rio’s Macarena had everyone dancing. 1996 was also the year three guys came together in a home studio and started a band that has lasted for a quarter century and is more popular than ever, entertaining the Jersey Shore and named for an article in National Geographic. The Moroccan Sheepherders (MSH) will celebrate its silver anniversary this month at a benefit concert for the nonprofit HABcore on September 25 at Bar Anticipation in Lake Como. “Steve’s (Warendorf, Colts Neck) father told him he was writing up a mortgage for a dude with a home studio who plays bass and suggested they meet (Scott Burton of Little Silver). Scott and Steve met and they hit it off. Soon after, Steve,

Scott, and I played and we had a band,” explained Craig Smith, a founding band member who performed vocals and drums and now lives in Lancaster, PA. Craig and Steve had been longtime friends, and not long after Steve invited another childhood friend, Kyle Spendiff, to jam with the fledgling band. “Steve ran into Kyle outside Becker’s Hardware in Colts Neck and told him about the band,” explained Craig. “Kyle brought his congas and timbales to Steve’s house, we all played, and the band was formed. One day I was reading an article in National Geographic about a group of sheepherders in Morocco and how they jam while their sheep graze. I thought, ‘that’s cool’, so I suggested it to be the name of the band.” Twenty-five years later, the Moroccan Sheepherders are still going strong. Craig, who Steve credits as having had the most

influence on the band, left the group amicably in 2015 when he moved to Pennsylvania. With an ensemble of 12 members, the band defies being simply categorized. It began with the original music of the founding members, but has moved to predominantly a cover band that self-admittedly favors the B sides and prefers to play them with their own unique sound. “We don’t play the usual covers. We prefer B sides, one hit wonders, more rock edge but commercially palatable,” said Scott. “It’s a very eclectic mix of songs that shouldn’t go together, but we make it work. We all get along and we have fun together. We’ve created something most people only dream about.” “We sort of pride ourselves on being a ‘B side’ band,” added Laura Catalina Johnson of Rumson who has sung with the band for ten years. “And all the musicians, from

CO N T I N U E D >

the horn players to the guitars to the singers, are so good at what they do. But most of all, the number one thing that I believe sets us apart, is our energy. We have fun together. We bring the audience on a ride with us and we are just having the time of our lives up there, which is totally contagious. It’s why we can draw the largest crowds around.” Most members of the band are not fulltime musicians, except Alicia Rau who sings and plays trumpet and piano. Living in Manhattan, she spends her time as a musician and teaching artist. Others, like Rich Kelly of Toms River, have time-consuming day jobs. Rich owns his own graphic design/ad agency. Christopher Allen, Highlands, is a flight attendant while Pat Murphy, Howell, is an Engineer.

The MSH released two albums, Everyone Needs To Be Herd and Waves, but their cultlike following cares more about the fun atmosphere and comradery the band creates at concerts than it does about any specific song. So much so they started an event called Artiepalooza, the long-standing annual event that rocks Blossom Cove on the Navesink each summer in honor of Art Nastis and to raise money for David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation. “You don’t have to ask us what sets us apart, ask our rabid and loyal fans, most of whom we count as friends,” shared Darren Johnson, aka The Cobraman, of Red Bank. He’s been singing with the band for 11 years. “There’s something about us that you just fall in love with. I’m in the band, but when

I’m not singing, even I become a fan. I watch one of the best young drummers around in Anthony Flora pound away like there’s no tomorrow. I listen as veteran horn players (The Ram Section) arrange and weave intricate horn lines into classic rock songs that didn’t originally have horns in them to the point that you think the original song is an inferior cover version. I watch singer after singer put their own virtuoso spins on anthems so that you can’t listen to the originals in the same way anymore. And I watch co-founders Steve Warendorf on guitar and Scott Burton on bass smile away like the proud parents of a small, groove-trip jam band that has exploded into a Jersey Shore legend. Yeah, it’s good to be a Sheepherder.”

GREENER PASTURES

Lesley Luckhardt & Family Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Provide a Forever Home for Unwanted Equines B Y L I L I A N N PA R A S | P H O T O: TA R A M O O R E , FA R M & F I R

sprawling Monmouth County farm is dotted with grazing horses, donkeys, and ponies. Behind this peaceful, bucolic scene are incredible, diverse back stories of each animal’s arrival. The farm is Bluemont Equine Rescue and Sanctuary in Colts Neck, founded by Lesley Luckhardt to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide a forever home for equines who, no longer considered “useful”, are destined for kill pens. There, Lesley Luckhardt and husband Carl Quaglia are raising their four sons, CJ 13, Aidan 12, Cole 2, and Greyson 7 months, along with 21 equines (and counting). Bluemont is truly a family labor of love. The days can be long and arduous, but, above-all, very rewarding.

CM: How did Bluemont come to fruition? Lesley: I always wanted to have a rescue farm; I just didn’t know it would be horses. We found an old horse farm that needed refurbishing and while we were remodeling, a neighbor reached out to us about Roxy, a Hanoverian horse that needed a home. She was our first horse and is a big sassy girl at 17.3 hands high. She struggled with lameness so no one really wanted her anymore. We quickly fell in love and decided our focus would be horses moving forward.

CM: When did you first realize that you wanted to help animals in a meaningful way? Lesley: I was a little girl growing up on a dairy farm. When I was 5 years old, my farm chore was to bottle feed the veal calves. They would cry for their mamas and I was always so sad for them. I would beg my uncle to put them back in with their moms so they could nurse. I knew from an early age I wanted to help ease their suffering. CM: What is a typical day like at Bluemont? Lesley: We wake up really early like all farmers do! Coffee, feed the littles and it’s outside for chores. Our boys are out on the farm with us every day doing morning and evening chores. Our chores can be hard especially in extreme weather, but we are also spending valuable family time together out on the farm. After chores it’s time for school. I’ll spend more time with the horses during the day: grooming, giving treats, hosing down, or, blanketing if it is winter. It’s definitely a full-time job. We do our second round of chores when the boys get out of school. Ava, our first-ever staff member who now is more like family, comes and helps us with afternoon chores. We also are building an incredible network of volunteers who do all sorts of things from PEMF therapy and reiki, to the down-

and-dirty chores that no one really wants to do, like mucking poop! Our boys know that what we’re doing is important, that we’re helping animals in need. It teaches them selflessness and empathy along with fostering a strong work ethic. Then we come in for dinner, homework, and bed. Some days are harder than others but our whole family loves this life.

CM: What surprised you about the treatment of equines? Lesley: I came into this with a fresh set of eyes. I didn’t grow up riding and I wasn’t exposed to the equestrian world at a young and impressionable age. I really thought horses were treated like most companion animals are. I was surprised to find that many are treated like an asset or sports equipment and once they wear out their usefulness, many owners don’t want the expense of feeding them. The average horse in America has seven different homes. Once a horse has limitations or is no longer rideable, they without a doubt become an at-risk horse, facing neglect, auction, and ultimately slaughter. I’ve seen six-figure horses in kill pens, discarded without a second thought.

CM: How do you now generally acquire the rescues? Lesley: We have acquired our equines from owner turn-ins, hoarding cases, partnering with other rescues, and from kill pens, where horses sit before they are sent over the border for slaughter. CM: Is there a rescue that is particularly memorable? Lesley: A giant Belgian draft mule that we named Sully. We pulled him from a kill pen in Pennsylvania. He was a plow mule and had worked for the Amish for 20+ years. It was clear he had just come out of work: his mane was roached, he was muscular, and had good body mass. I could see there was something wrong with his back right leg. We knew we had to immediately get the veterinarian, but Sully was very frightened. He would start shaking when we approached him and was clearly trau-

matized. The Amish field mules work in pairs; it is very likely he was on the same farm for his entire life and was deeply bonded to his plow teammates. I spent a day in his paddock with him just reading and letting him get comfortable with my presence, and put two gentle horses in the paddock right next to his for companionship. He calmed down enough to have our vet look at him. It turned out he had a severely fractured leg. We had to put him down that day. Our entire family was devastated, but especially our boys. Sully got his lucky break only to have it slip away. I remember talking to him as he passed and telling him what a good boy he was. The unfairness of it all really stuck with me. I called him The Giving Tree (after the kids book); he just gave and gave until nothing was left anymore. The next week we pulled our draft mule, Moses, out of the same pen in Sully’s honor.

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

CM: With all the care you are giving, what do you enjoy for yourself in your “spare time”? Lesley: It’s sparse! (laughs) I love to do yoga. I used to be a yoga teacher and I crave the relaxation it brings me. I’m also an herbalist and I’m always fiddling with preparing herbs and coming up with protocols for friends or family members and even our four-legged guys too. CM: Favorite Quote? Lesley: “The purpose of life is to not be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Ralph Waldo Emerson To meet the animals and to donate, visit bluemontsanctuary.com.

COLLEGE EXPENSES - WHO PAYS? Children of all ages have returned to school. Many high school students will soon be taking the PSAT, SAT, or even submitting college applications. In New Jersey divorced or separated parents can be required to contribute to their children’s post-high school educational expenses. Both parents have a legal obligation to contribute in accordance with their financial abilities. That not only applies to four year college programs, but to junior colleges, trade schools, and vocational schools as well. Each case is fact specific, taking into account the unique circumstances of each family. Among them is the child’s aptitude. Is he a serious student? Are her grades and test scores high enough for admission to the schools of her choice? Also important are the family’s finances. Does the divorce, which usually spawns two households with the expenses that go along with each, leave enough family income to Peter C. Paras

contribute to college? And, in what proportions? Are there savings that were earmarked for college? Are there savings that were not, but can be used for college? Is financial aid available – scholarships, grants, and loans – and have the student and the parents cooperated in applying for it and submitting all required financial documents (e.g., income tax returns)? If loans are available, are they taken in the parents’ or the student’s name and who will repay those loans, regardless of whose name they’re in? These are some of the factors to consider when the time comes to think about college. There are many more. This is one area divorced parents have in common with parents who aren’t divorced. Post-high school education is expensive. It is almost always an extraordinary expense that goes well beyond the monthly family budget. Prudent parents plan for these ex-

penditures well in advance. Often divorced parents are at odds. They have competing interests, each trying to safeguard as much of the available income for himself or herself as possible. Cooperation is never more important than when a child’s future is at stake. College costs are high. There is no denying that. But what better to spend your money on than your child’s education? To give your child the tools to see the world with a wide lens and to begin a productive and prosperous life are among the best gifts parents can give their children. Think about (and talk about) these issues early. Don’t avoid them until the last minute. They won’t go away. They’ll only get more emergent, leaving less time to plan. By sharing information and ideas, and by being willing to sacrifice a little, you can ensure your child has the opportunities you want him or her to have for a bright future.

Two River Theater to Host a Special Evening to Benefit Development of New Plays & Musicals

CURIOSITY

Featuring a Concert Performance by Joe Iconis and Family

Two River Theater, under the leadership of Artistic Director John Dias and Managing Director Michael Hurst, announces a special event on October 2 at 7:00 pm to benefit Two River Theater’s new plays and musicals development programs. The evening will also celebrate the upcoming release of the Love in Hate Nation original cast recording, a new musical written by Tony-Award Nominee Joe Iconis that premiered at Two River in 2019. The evening will include a pre-show cocktail party, a performance by Joe Iconis and Family followed by a dinner catered by Et Al Catering for sponsors and the evening’s roster of performers. A limited number of $250 individual tickets are available now, which includes access to the cocktail party, one premium seat for performance and sponsor dinner; $60 tickets also available for purchase, which includes one seat for performance. Joe Iconis is an acclaimed musical theater writer whose musical Be More Chill (written with Joe Tracz) premiered at Two River in 2015; the original cast recording has been streamed more than 90 million times. Iconis and Tracz are currently writing a new musical as a Two River Theater commission. Iconis’s other musicals include Love in Hate Nation, Broadway Bounty Hunter, and Bloodsong of Love, and his song Broadway, Here I Come was cited by the New York Times as a new entry in the Great American Songbook. He was named “one to watch” in Billboard’s Top 10 picks of the next generation of Broadway singers and songwriters. A combination of rock ‘n’ roll jamboree and musical cabaret, the musical performance will include classic tunes, new numbers, and works-in-progress written by Joe Iconis, and will feature performances by some of his closest collaborators. “When I joined Two River Theater eleven years ago, I had a wild idea to turn playwrights and composers into celebrities that Red Bank audiences could extol as their own and proudly watch their careers soar,” said John Dias, Artistic Director at Two River Theater. “Well, we’ve done it.

Tossing for Charity - Corn Hole on Broad

The event to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation was hosted by the Red Bank Business Alliance (RBBA) and Northwestern Mutual Red Bank. The event raised $8,300, which was matched by Northwestern Mutual, for a total of $16,300 to help fight against childhood cancer. Sagar Shah, the RBBA president, was enthusiastic about the turnout and the results. “Since being elected as RBBA President in early 2020, it was difficult to hold many events due to the pandemic. This event allowed the community to come together, to raise money

Oceanic Free Library to Celebrate 100 Year Anniversary with Garden Cocktail Party

Drawing of the Oceanic Free Library by local artist Mike Quon in recognition of the library’s 100th year anniversary.

William Henry Meeker

COMMUNITY MAGAZINE CommunityMagazineNJ.com

A memorial to William Henry Meeker (Billy), the Oceanic Free Library of Rumson was given to the people of the borough in 1920 by Billy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eugene Meeker. To celebrate and honor its 100th Anniversary, a Gatsby themed Roaring 20s garden cocktail party will take place on September 12 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Sea Bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club. Music of the time will be provided by Drew Nugent and The Midnight Society; Brennan’s of Rumson will cater; and cocktails will be provided by Little Silver Bottle Shop and Magical Spirits. A silent auction, 50/50, as well as a book sale and a “sponsor a book” event will be a part of the fundraising evening. The Meekers gave both the grounds and the building for a library when Billy was killed while serving as an aviator in the French Army in the early stages of World War I. Originally located on West River Road, the library moved to its present-day location on Avenue of Two Rivers in 1959. The Library name, Oceanic, was derived from one of the earlier names by which the present borough of Rumson was known, a home Billy loved and admired. The celebratory evening will feature newly re-printed versions of Billy’s book, His Book, for sale as well as Rumson history books by local authors. For the “Sponsor a Book” event, attendees will be able to sponsor the repair and rebinding of the library’s precious Meeker collection of autographed books by famous authors of the 1920s, with a selection on display at the event. The event will honor Ed Pomphrey as well as William (Hal) and Karen Hyatt who have been involved with the library for years. Ed Pomphrey is a fourth generation Rumson resident and an enthusiastic library supporter. He has donated his time and energy as library building caretaker and board association member for many years. The reprint edition of His Book is a gift to the library from Ed and his wife Sarah in remembrance of their son. Karen and William Hyatt raised their family in Rumson and started supporting the Oceanic Library early on, contributing their time for decades. William (Hal) served as a Rumson councilman and President of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club while also serving as a library Trust member. Karen started the Association Board and has served as Chair to several major fundraising events and has made numerous contributions of time and guidance. Capacity for this event is limited.
