Connolly questions mayor’s
committee assignments,
asks why seniority does not
play a role in decision-making
BY AMANDA STONE
THE COAST STAR
MANASQUAN — Councilwoman Patricia
Connolly and Mayor George Dempsey
were at odds with one another, again, after
the mayor announced his recommendations for the council’s committees for 2012
during the council reorganization meeting
Tuesday night.
“I have found none of my choices to be
given to me, even though I am second in
seniority on this council,” Councilwoman
Connolly said.
Councilwoman Connolly has served on
the borough council for the last five years.
Mayor Dempsey recommended the
councilwoman serve as the chair of the
Administration and Finance Committee —
a position she held last year — and serve
as a member on the Police Committee and
Public Property Committee.
After the meeting, Councilwoman
Connolly said she wanted to chair the
Public Property Committee.
“It is important to do inventories and
look at our buildings and see what we can
do with them in town,” the councilwoman
said. “I was looking forward to that challenge.”

Naughton sworn in to
second term as mayor
SPRING LAKE — On Tuesday evening, the
borough, here, rang in the new year by
welcoming a familiar face — and a few
new ones — to its governing body.
The Spring Lake Borough Hall meeting
chamber saw a packed room, as residents
from Spring Lake and surrounding towns
came out to celebrate the swearing in of
incumbent Mayor Jennifer Naughton and
newcomers, councilmen Paul Jordan and
Brendan Judge.
Family and friends of Mayor Naughton
and the two councilmen were present, as
well as Belmar Mayor Matthew Doherty,
Spring Lake Police Chief Edward Kerr,
former borough police chief and current
Monmouth County Undersheriff Robert
Dawson, and former Spring Lake councilman Joseph Erbe.
Municipal Court Judge George Pappas
swore Mayor Naughton in to her fouryear seat, as her husband and two children stood by her side.
Following that, Mayor Naughton swore
Councilman Jordan in, followed by
Councilman Judge, as their respective
families joined them each in their proud
moment.
“Congratulations … welcome aboard,”
Mayor Naughton said to councilmen
Jordan and Judge.
The mayor had scooped up her seat in
a decisive victory during the November
general election.

THE COAST STAR
SPRING LAKE — Next Thursday night,
members of the community, here, will
get a chance to have their say in what
attributes they are looking for in the
school district’s next superintendent.
On Thursday, Jan. 12, a special meeting will be held for both parents and
community members at H.W. Mountz
Elementary School, 411 Tuttle Ave. The
parent and community member forum
will begin at 7 p.m.
The Spring Lake Board of Education
[BOE] recently hired Peter Bastardo, of
West Hudson Associates, as a consultant for its superintendent search
process.
In addition to Mr. Bastardo, the BOE
listened to presentations from other representatives of superintendent search
firms, including Richard P. Marasco, a
partner in Leadership Advantage, and
Kathy Winecoff, a field service representative of the New Jersey School Boards
Association.
The cost of Mr. Bastardo’s services as
a consultant for the school district will
be an estimated $2,000.
Spring Lake BOE president Trish
Hansen explained the Jan. 12 forum will
allow Mr. Bastardo to meet with the
various stakeholders in order to gather
data related to the superintendent
search.
Mrs. Hansen said holding a forum to
allow the consultant to come in to
speak with the stakeholders is “typical
of a superintendent search.”
Board members will not be present at
the meeting on Jan. 12, said Mrs.
Hansen, in order to help create a more
relaxed environment for the community members and parents in attendance.
The forum will give “all people an
opportunity to come and speak freely,”
said Mrs. Hansen, in order for the BOE
to gain a more “broad-based and better
understanding” of what the Spring Lake
community wants in their next superintendent.
“The purpose of the forum is to

St. Catharine community celebrates the true ‘reason for the season’
St. Catharine School
hosts annual Christmas
prayer service
BY CAREN CATERINA
THE COAST STAR
SPRING LAKE — The St.
Catharine School community, in Spring Lake, recently
celebrated the true meaning
of Christmas.
Eileen Tennyson, the
Spirituality Chairperson for
the school’s Parent-Teacher
Association [PTA], said students from all grade levels at
St. Catharine School recently participated in a special
Christmas prayer service
held at the school on
Thursday, Dec. 22, in addition
to a larger Christmas show
held on Dec. 15.
The Christmas prayer
service is run by school principal
Sister
Margo
Kavanaugh, RSM [Religious
Sisters of Mercy] and teacher
Sister Carole MacKenthun,
RSM.
The school’s music director, Karen Burlington, is in
charge of the overall performance.
“We always do this service
before we go away for the
holidays,”
said
Mrs.
Tennyson. “It is an annual
event.”
“It involves the whole
school and all parents were
welcome to come,” added
Mrs. Tennyson. “Many kids
came up and sang.”
For part of the prayer service, students put together a
play, focusing on how “Jesus
is the greatest gift,” said Mrs.
Tennyson.
“We tell the story of the
birth of Christ,” said Mrs.
Tennyson.
“We had a real baby here,”
representing baby Jesus,
said Sister Margo,
“His mother was up there
with the eighth grade girl
who was supposed to be the
Blessed Mother,” said Sister
Margo.
Mrs. Tennyson said the
beginning of the play showed
a line of children to see Santa
Claus, who was on stage.
“A kindergartner said, ‘I
see the line to see Santa, but
where is the line to see
Jesus],’” said Mrs. Tennyson.
An angel, portrayed by
eighth-grader Emma Clark,
also spoke to the young audience saying, ‘“Will you be a
bearer of light, will you tell
the story of Christ,’” said
Mrs. Tennyson.
Sister Margo noted that
before every holiday — such
as Easter, Memorial Day and
Christmas — “we gather as a
school community and have
what we call a prayer service.”
“That is not Mass … it is a
prayer service around a
theme,” explained Sister
Margo.
“We come as a school
community and take the
purpose of the day and make
the children understand it, “
said Sister Margo. “And do
what we are supposed to be
doing with our faith.”
Sister Margo said both
events focused on the
theme, ‘Carriers of the
Light.’
“It was really beautiful,”
said Sister Margo.
The emphasis was, “how
will you share light in your
home, in your school, out in

the field,” said Sister Margo.
“And if all of us do it, how
will we shine,” said Sister
Margo.
On Dec. 15, Sister Margo
explained at the very end of
the performance, all the
eighth graders came out in
their costumes, said Sister
Margo.
Students in the front carried posters with symbols of
flags from all around the
world, said Sister Margo.
“Passing on the light … the
message to be kind and
peaceful,” said Sister Margo.
“It was very, very moving,” said Sister Margo, noting the children “really
talked about” the message
following the event.
“They get it, they really
do,” said Sister Margo.
“Sister Carole took that
theme, ‘Carriers of Light’,
and wrote a prayer service
around it,” said Sister
Margo, for the event held on
Dec. 22.
“We took excerpts from
the show,” she said, held on
Dec. 15, to create the program on Dec. 22.
“We began with a video
clip, Where’s the line to see
Jesus”, sung by artist Becky
Kelley.
Students walked away
from the Christmas prayer
service with a message of
hope and helping to “spread
the word of God,” said Mrs.
Tennyson.
“We celebrate Christmas
because it is the birth of
Christ, not because Santa
comes,” said Mrs. Tennyson.
“Jesus is the greatest gift,”
said Mrs. Tennyson. “The
reason for the season is Jesus
was born.”
“In our school, for the
four weeks of lent, our
theme was Jesus is the perfect gift,” added Sister
Margo.
“We have pictures of gifts
around, we had the advent
wreath — symbols presented to children about the real
meaning of Christmas,” said
Sister Margo.
“From the first day of
Advent to Christmas Day, it
was a beautiful theme,” said
Sister Margo.
The students “could relate
to getting a gift,” she said.
“The gift of a Christian is
the gift of the birth of Caren Caterina covers Spring Lake for
Christ,” said Sister Margo. The Coast Star. She can be reached at
“And when Christ came —
he brought light to the
world.”
St. Catharine School’s next
big focus is Catholic Schools
Week, which will be held
from Jan. 29 through Feb. 5.
The St. Catharine School
community, each year, participates in Catholic Schools
Week where the students get
to enjoy different events and
festivities for the duration of
the program.
The St. Catharine School’s
motto is replicated with the
National Catholic School
motto, “Faith. Academics.
Service.” for the 2011-2012
school year.

dropped out after experiencing enormous emotional
hardships and challenges,
before returning to Rider in

The reason for this winter’s increase comes as no
surprise to Mr. Wall, who
oversaw the sales at borough
hall.
“People bought a lot of
them for gifts,” Mr. Wall said,
noting people made multiple
purchases at one time.
The winter sale also
included parking permits —
a popular item within the
borough.
Although 1,200 parking
permits are sold annually,
only 600 are sold during the
winter sale.
If residents did not come
to borough hall within the

they were out of luck.
“We sold out of them

There will be another preseason badge sale in April,

Fire Co. No. 1 welcomes
residents with open arms
BY AMANDA STONE
THE COAST STAR
MANASQUAN — Firefighters,
food and friendship were
plentiful on New Year’s Day
during the traditional open
house at Manasquan Hook
and Ladder Company No. 1.
Firefighters
from
Company No. 1 served as
hosts to this year’s event,
which drew hundreds of
friends, family members and
local residents who came to
show their support for the
volunteers.
The open house serves as a
long-standing, annual tradition with Company No. 1 and
Volunteer Engine Company
No. 2, who alternate hosting
the event.
Jay Price, a member of
Company No. 1, said opening
the firehouse doors to the
community brings a fresh
start to the new year.
“You start off the new year
by shaking hands and smiling
— and everybody is having a
good time,” Mr. Price said. “It
is a good, positive start to a
new year.”
Those who attended the
open house were treated to
free food and refreshments,
courtesy of the firehouse.
Beer mugs were available for
purchase at $5 each, with all
proceeds going directly back
to the company.
On the menu for Sunday’s
open house were claminspired entrees.
“We’re known for our
clams and clam chowder,”
said past company chief
Drew Coder.
Along with the festivities,
food and music-filled rooms,
Mr. Price said there is a sentimental meaning behind the
annual event.
“It is about seeing the
“You start off the new
year by shaking hands
and smiling and
everybody is having a
good time.”
JAY PRICE Company No. 1 Firefighter
whole town come through
the doors,” Mr. Price said. “It
is a good place to be.”
Behind the doors, Mr.
Price said there is a long history of volunteers who have
served company, now in its
125th year of service.
“There are generations of
guys here,” Mr. Price said.
“There is history here, there
are people here that connect
to people all the way back to
as far as you can remember.”
Though the firefighters
who don Company No. 1’s
gear have a common bond
through the firehouse, they
represent different parts of
the community.
“There are guys from all
walks of life here,” Mr. Price
said, noting members range
from teachers to politicians.
Currently, there are more
than 40 active members
within the company in addition to lifelong members,
according to Mr. Price.
What were once spare
equipment racks for the firefighter’s gear are now full
due to the influx of members,
Mr. Price said.
Throughout the open
house, members of Company
No. 1 visited other fire companies who were also hosting
an open house, including
Spring Lake, Spring Lake
Heights, Brielle, Bradley
Beach and Wall Township.
In return, members from
those companies came to
visit Company No. 1’s open
house.
Mr. Coder said hosting
open houses on New Year’s
Day is a tradition within the
local communities.
“It has always been a
southern Monmouth County
tradition,” Mr. Coder said.
Mr. Coder said one of his
favorite parts of the tradition
is having the chance to see
close friends who he may
have not been able to see in a
while.
Mr. Coder said the open
house also is a good way to
meet the residents who they
are serving.
“It’s good to give back to
the community,” Mr. Coder
said.
Former
Councilman
Joseph Lucas attended the
open house, calling it a “nice
day.”
“It is something that I
think is an honorable and a
nice thing that the fire
department does,” Mr. Lucas
said. “It is something that
brings everybody together.”
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Each year, firefighters
from Company No. 1 respond
to roughly 150 calls, though
2011 saw an increase to
roughly 180 due to Hurricane
Irene, according to Deputy
Chief Edward Hill.
When they are not
responding to calls within
the community, the firefighters of Company No. 1 give
back to the community in
other ways.
Each year, the firefighters
assist Santa Claus in delivering toys to borough children
on Christmas Eve — a tradition that has been going on
for at least 65 years, according to Mr. Price.
Just this year, volunteers
put in roughly 220 collective

The time, though, is worth
it.
“They [the firefighters]
love doing it,” Mr. Price said.
Another

has left its mark on for years
is the Thanksgiving Eve

The company has participated in the parade since at
least 1938, according to Mr.
Price.
HOW TO JOIN
Those interested in joining Company No. 1 can
attend their weekly meetings, held at 7:30 p.m. every
Thursday at the firehouse,
located at 33 Abe Voorhees
Drive in Old Squan Plaza.
“Come and see us, meet

you an application,” Mr.

Boro designates snow emergency
streets, preparing for next storm
BY AMANDA STONE
“We’re as ready as
we can be .”
THE COAST STAR
MANASQUAN — Though the
weather outside has not yet
been frightful, it has not
stopped borough officials
here from preparing for the
next big snow storm to hit
the region.
During a special meeting
held last Wednesday, the
council approved a resolution requiring homeowners
who live on certain streets
within the borough to keep
their cars off the street during a snow storm.
Residents who live along
Forrest Avenue, Gardeners
Lane, Allen Avenue, Central
Avenue, Blakey Avenue,
Curtis Place, North Broad
Street, Woodland Avenue,
Pearce
Avenue,
Parker
Avenue, Ocean Avenue, Main
Street and Brielle Road will
be required to remove their
cars from the street “during a
snowfall where accumulation
is such that it covers the
street[s] or following the
snowfall” until the streets
have been cleared, according
g to the resolution.
The designated streets listed in the resolution were recommended by the department of public works [DPW],
police department, fire
departments and office of
emergency
management
[OEM].
Councilman Don Grasso
had additional streets he suggested be considered for
inclusion on the list.
The streets suggested by
Councilman Grasso included
North Main Street, Marcellus
Avenue, Lakewood Road,
Church Street, North and
South Potter avenues, First
Avenue, Third Avenue,
Stockton Lake Boulevard and
North and South McClellan
avenues, according to the
councilman’s
committee
report.
When contacted after the
meeting, Mayor George
Dempsey
said
council
approved the original list of
designated streets, without
adding Councilman Grasso’s
suggestions.
“I said next year we can
modify [the list] but for now
we are going this way,”
Mayor Dempsey said.
Mayor Dempsey said the
DAVID KIRCHER
Office of Emergency
Management Coordinator
council would stick with the
original list because “those
are the streets that the DPW,
OEM, police and fire departments recommended.”
Following the winter season, the council is slated to
review the list of designated
streets and make any
changes needed. Once the
final list is compiled, it will
be amended into the current
plowing ordinance.
PREPARING FOR THE STORM
Borough officials had a
chance to experience and
learn
what
procedures
worked and what procedures
could be improved during
the Blizzard of 2010, which
left the region covered in
snow.
David Kircher, the borough’s OEM coordinator,
said one thing he and his
crew learned from the blizzard was how to better notify
and update residents on the
borough’s condition throughout the storm.
“The people in the town
felt they weren’t getting
enough information,” Mr.
Kircher said. “We’re working
harder to get [the information] out.”
Mr. Kircher and borough
officials had their chance to
utilize their improved communication methods in late
August when Category 1
Hurricane Irene struck the
East Coast, leaving some borough residents without
power for days, while many
homes were flooded.
Borough officials, including Mayor George Dempsey,
Borough
Administrator
Joseph
DeIorio,
DPW
employees
and
OEM
employees, created a command center in borough hall.
The center, acting as the
OEM headquarters, allowed
different agencies within the
borough to communicate
with one another during the
storm and storm aftermath.
Through the command
center’s officials, the borough website was able to be

LESSONS LEARNED FROM 2010
The Blizzard of 2010 may
not have been unprecedented, though it did take the
region by surprise.
“You have to have something like that happen in
order to be able to practice
what you have been training
for,” Mr. Kircher said, referring to the blizzard.
Mr. Kircher said the storm
left the borough somewhat
overwhelmed.
“When you get that kind of
snow, the bottom line is it is
something you can’t do anything about it,” Mr. Kircher
said. “It was a different
process to get that stuff done
because there was so much.
It just overwhelmed our
resources.”
Adding to the strapped
resources within the borough
were the people trapped in
their vehicles on Route 18.
“We sent our vehicles to
help rescue them,” Mr.
Kircher said, referring to the
borough’s military surplus,
high wheeled vehicles.
“That hurts you a little bit.”
The blizzard also took the
borough by surprise by the
sheer size of it.
“The town plans for the
average
snowfall,” Mr.
Kircher said, estimating the
average to be roughly 10-12
inches. “Even the Army
[style] trucks were getting
stuck.”
Through lessons learned,
Mr. Kircher said his crew is
“good to go” for the next
snow storm.
“I anticipate a better job
this year than last,” Mr.
Kircher said, though he
warned, “snow removal is
what it is. We’re as ready as
we can be.”
Mayor Dempsey echoed
Mr. Kirchner’s optimism
about the winter season.
“The town is ready,”
Mayor Dempsey said. “We
are prepared for a big snow
storm.”
Mayor Dempsey said he
just checked the rock-salt
storage, located in Brielle,
last Thursday morning.
“It is filled to the top,”
Mayor Dempsey said. “I
would say we are ready.”

the
Manasquan Elks rang in the
new year just the way they
have for the last 40 years —
surrounded by family and
friends at the Stockton Lake
Boulevard Lodge.
“There was a lot of celebration,” said Elks member
Bob Monaco.
The Elks have been ringing
in the new year together
since the 1970s, according to
Mr. Monaco.
This year, more than 75
showed up to sing and dance
the night away. Live entertainment provided by Create
Excitement allowed the
guests to dance from 8 p.m.
to 1 a.m.
Not to forget those who
were lost within the last year,
the Elks held their traditional
11 p.m. champagne toast,
according to Mr. Monaco.
Following the toast, the
Elks sang “God Bless
America.”
One lucky guest of the
night had the chance to win a
gift basket of items put
together by local restaurants,
including
Bubbakoo's
Burritos, Manasquan; Corner
Bagelry, Manasquan; East
Main
Street
Trattoria,

Beach House; Rod's Old Irish
Tavern, Sea Girt; Spirit of ‘76;
Simko's Grill, Brielle; Pete &
Elda's, Neptune; Squan
Tavern, Manasquan and The
Sand Bar, Brielle.
“This year's celebration
was truly a community
effort,” Mr. Monaco said,
noting the hard work of the
Elks Committee Chair, Vicki
Buonomo, and her husband,
Tony.

Students prepare
ABBA-Mania rings in the new year for Squan-a-thon
THEATRE REVIEW BY KAREN MEISTER
Another successful New
Year’s Eve show at the
Algonquin Arts Theatre rang
in 2012 with a blast from the
past. This year it was the
magic of ABBA, performed
by the eight, star-studded
cover performers of ABBAmania from Ontario, Canada.
The excitement began
with the very first song,
“Dancing Queen.” It just set
the stage for more of ABBA’s
fantastic hits throughout the
decades. If one did not
remember ABBA’s earlier
tunes, one’s memory was
jarred by the recent revival of
many songs revisited by the
delightful play and movie,
“Momma Mia.”
These talented performers
took the audience back to the
1970s when disco was the
rage. A young group of
singers, Agnetha, Anni-Frid,
Benny and Bjorn from
Stockholm, Sweden graced
the stage, hence, ABBA was
created. The name ABBA is
taken from the first initial of
their names.
The group became an
overnight
success,
and
although they could not
speak English, they memorized their songs in English
for their overseas audiences.
By early 1976, ABBA had four
single hit songs on the U.S.
charts. Their stardom never
faded and the group went
forward producing one song
after another.
Now ABBA’s fame continues to grow through audiences who have the great
opportunity to revisit the
beginning years, all the way
to the present, with cover
bands like ABBA-Mania.
Michelle Truman did a fantastic job of portraying lead
singer Agnetha.
Her
voice
radiated
throughout the theatre and
she wore the authentic costumes from the 1970s-1980s,
right down to the white highheeled gogo boots!
Monica Tietz was a great
Anni-Frid, possessing the
voice and all the dance steps
and gestures of that memorable time. Matthew Whale
portrayed keyboard star
Benny and Nick Pattison was
the sound of Bjorn’s guitar.
They were nothing short of
fabulous.
It was very difficult to sit
without clapping, tapping or
downright moving when the
audience heard such songs
such as “Waterloo,” “Name of
the Game,” “Winner Takes
All,” and “Fernando,” along
with dozens of other famous
hits performed by the original ABBA.
By the end of the evening,
some could not contain their
enthusiasm and ventured
dancing right on stage!
ABBA-mania captured the
essence of ABBA, while
incorporating their own
style, personality and talent .
It was truly a nostalgic and
exciting way to bring in the
New Year.
Thank you Algonquin
Theatre and all who worked
so successfully to make New
Year’s Eve an ABBAcadabra
magical evening.

Polar Bear Plunge to
return next weekend
BY AMANDA STONE
MANASQUAN — The new
year brought new leadership
to the Manasquan Fire
District, as a new chief and
deputy chief were sworn in
Sunday morning.
Edward Hill, who previously served as fire captain,
was sworn in as the district’s
new deputy chief.
Deputy Chief Hill will fill
the two-year term that was
previously held by Michael
Galos.
Mr. Galos, who previously
served as the district’s
deputy chief, will now serve
as the district’s chief.
Chief Galos will fill the
two-year term that was previously held by Jeffrey Ely.
Deputy Chief Hill said a
major difference between his
old and new position will be
how he arrives on scene.
Prior to his new position,
Deputy Chief Hill would ride
the fire truck with the rest of
the firefighters. Now, he will
drive directly to the scene in
order to coordinate the firefighters’ plan of action, he
said.
Chief Galos said he looks
forward to serving and keeping the firefighters safe
through training and attending calls.

Local residents who are
eager to jump back into the
ocean but do not want to wait
until the summer months
will have a chance to take the
plunge next Saturday morning.
Residents can plunge into
the cold Atlantic Ocean on
Saturday, Jan. 14 during the
fourth annual Polar Bear
Plunge at Main Street Beach
in Manasquan to benefit the
Lifetime Assistance for
Development
and
Challenging
Individual
Needs Network [LADACIN].
The LADACIN Network —
formerly Cerebral Palsy of
Monmouth
and
Ocean
Counties — is a nonprofit
agency that provides lifetime
assistance inclusive of education, therapeutic, social, residential and support services
to over 2,600 people with
cerebral palsy and other
physical and developmental
disabilities, according to
event organizer Joseph
Russell.
Since its inaugural year in
2009, more than $200,000
has been raised by the plunge
from donations, according to
Mr. Russell.
Last year's plunge drew
more than 200 participants
and more than 1,000 specta-
tors. This year, Mr. Russell
said he is expecting more
than 300 community members to participate.
The event draws participants both young and old,
with past plungers bringing
their friends and family to
the next plunge.
"It is surprisingly addictive," Mr. Russell said.
Those who came out to the
plunge last year were in for a
surprise when they had to
make their way through the
snow to get into the ocean.
Plungers will have the
chance to celebrate in a
warmer climate before and
after the event at Leggett's
Sand Bar and Restaurant, on
First Avenue.
Entertainment will be provided by a United States
Marine Color Guard led by
an Irish Marching Band.
The day will also feature a
50/50 raffle and a buffet.
Those interested in making a donation online can do
so
by

can register on the day of the
event at 10:30 a.m., followed

THE COAST STAR
BRIELLE — Area residents
won’t have to travel to
Atlantic City or Las Vegas to
take a chance on a fun
evening out.
Later this month — the
Brielle
Parent
Teacher
Organization [PTO] will host
its biggest fundraiser of 2012
— Casino Night — which is
set to be held on Friday, Jan.
27 at the Spring Lake Manor,
in Spring Lake Heights.
Casino Night will run from
7 to 11 p.m.
Casino Night Chairman
Liz Chermark, who also
serves as the head of programs and enrichment on the
PTO’s executive board, said
Casino Night will feature
professional croupiers and
state of the art equipment
guaranteed to provide the
authentic look and feel of a
real casino.
Ms. Chermark encouraged
residents to come out for
Casino Night, which also
helps
benefit
Brielle
Elementary School.
“There is a lull there in the
winter,” said Ms. Chermark.
“It [Casino Night] is a night
for parents to get out.”
Tickets for Casino Night
are $50 per person.
Attendees will enjoy appetizers, passed hors d’euvres, a
buffet dinner, $50 worth of
gaming chips and a chance
auction.
Proceeds raised from the
Casino Night will help to
fund “much needed programs for the kids” at the elementary school, said Ms.
Chermark.
“We also help to fund
teacher mini-grants,” said
Ms. Chermark. “Whatever
the school needs — that is
what the PTO is there for.”
Ms. Chermark said there is
a nice array of items for the
chance-raffle gift auction,
including an iPad, 14-karat
gold necklace with a diamond donated from Ballews,
a kayak which also comes
with the oars, a signed U.S.
soccer Jersey and autographed photograph from
Point
Pleasant-native
Christie Rampone, and a theatre package with pairs of
tickets to several New Jerseybased theatres such as
George Street Playhouse and
State Theatre, in New
Brunswick, and Two River
Theatre, in Red Bank.
“Most of the stuff is donated,” said Ms. Chermark, of
the prizes. “We also did a
neighborhood collection.”
Ms. Chermark explained
the PTO separated Brielle
into 18 different neighborhoods. Each neighborhoods’
residents purchased a gift for
a themed-gift basket.
“One neighborhood did a
‘day at the beach’ theme
where they got badges, a
parking pass, and beach cart,”
said Ms. Chermark. “That is
really a nice package.”
“There are some really fabulous things from the neighbors,”
continued
Ms.
Chermark.
This year, three silent auction items will also be available for bidding.
One item is a Disney trip to
Florida, which includes a
week-long stay at Disney
Marriott and four park hopper passes to the different
Disney parks.
A second silent auction
item is ‘Principal for a Day,’
where a student gets to be
the principal for one day at
Brielle Elementary School.
“They get to take Mrs.
Carlson’s place and have
lunch with her,” said Mrs.
Chermark.
The third silent gift auction is a boat trip donated by
Hoffmans Marina, in Brielle.
According
to
Ms.
Chermark, the prize is a day
or night fishing trip for up to
six guests aboard a 55-foot
Hatteras sport fishing vessel.
The trip can be used in New
Jersey or Florida, she said.
“They are really nice
prizes,” she said.
Ms. Chermark also noted
many area businesses have
donated to Casino Night to
help make the evening a success.
The Brielle PTO will also
be mailing books for the 5050 raffle to all students’
homes.
Last year’s lucky 50/50
winner took home $2,545,
said Ms. Chermark.
Ms. Chermark said monies
raised from the PTO Casino
Night will help to benefit the
school and its programs.
In the past, Ms. Chermark
said the PTO has raised
funds for smartboards, art
programs and robotic kits
and stipends for different
coaches of athletic teams.
The PTO has also helped
fund school programs and
clubs and helped towards
school assemblies, and purchased textbooks.
Each year an estimated 200
people attend the PTO’s
annual fundraiser, which has
also been a ‘Nite at the Races’
instead of Casino Night.
Tickets for Casino Night
will be available at all Biddy
Basketball games Saturday
mornings or by calling
Carole Wheat at 732-223-9722.
The PTO is also seeking
gift items, restaurant gift
cards, ads and sponsorships.
Anyone interested in
donating an item or an ad,
please contact Liz Chermark
at 201-376-0398 or email
llphone@aol.com.

the neighborhood theme-gift
baskets, please call Ms.

PRAYER TO
ST. JUDE
Most holy apostle. St. Jude, faithful
servant and friend of Jesus, the
Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless
cases, of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, I am so helpless and
alone. Make use implore you, of that
particular privilege given to you, to
bring visible and speedy help where
help is almost despaired of. Come to
my assistance in this great need that I
may receive the consolation and help
of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly —
(Here make your request) and that I
may praise God with you and all the
elect forever. I promise. O blessed St.
Jude, to be ever mindful of this great
favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Manasquan River Golf Club,
followed by Brielle Cyclery
and
Harpoon
Willy’s
Restaurant, with second and
third places, respectively.
The first place for window
display went to Allaire
Engraving, also known as
Allaire Enterprises, followed
by Brielle Florist and
Dickson’s Supply, receiving
second and third places,
respectively.
The Brielle Chamber of
Commerce has been hosting
the holiday decorating contest for several years.
Each year, different organizations throughout town
are asked to be the judges
for the contest.
This year’s judges were
members of the Brielle
Woman’s Club, which the
chamber thanked for volunteering their time and helping make the event successful.
For the outside display
category, businesses are
invited to decorate their
lawns, trees and, or, their
physical buildings.
Because some stores are
just fronts, they are invited
to decorate their windows
for the window display category.
Michael Zusack, the general manager of Manasquan
River Golf Club, said he gave
a lot of the credit to Tim
Doyle, the assistant food and
beverage director for the
club, and Justino Santiago,
“who does about everything
here [at the club],” he said.
“They spend a tremendous
amount of time in decorating
the club,” said Mr. Zusack.
“They also won first place
two years ago,” he said, noting they had also won third
place another time.
“They wanted to step it up
and get their first place
back,” laughed Mr. Zusack.
“And they did a great job,”
he said.
Mr. Doyle, he said, will go
out to shop now for next year
to add on to the display.
“And, he keeps building on
it,” said Mr. Zusack.
Mr. Doyle puts several
thousand white lights on the
awning, over the main entryway patio, as well as decorates several tree trunks on
the property.
Barbara Meyer, who helps
run Allaire Enterprises, on
Main Street in Manasquan,
said the window is decorated
very festive for Christmas.
The store owner is John
Renna, who suffered a stroke
last November, she said.
The owners of Weston
Gallery helped Mr. Renna to
decorate his store window
with an array of items including Santa Claus, lights,
Christmas balls, and silver
and white decorations, with
merchandise mixed in, she
said.
“We decorate every year,”
said Ms. Meyer.
“They did it up for the
Candy Candy hunt,” she said,
which
was
held
in
Manasquan recently.
“He [Mr. Renna] was very
grateful to Kathy and
Stephen Weston for helping
him out and volunteering
their services to him, “ said
Ms. Meyer. “They were so
nice to come down and do it
for us — it’s a real town spirit.”
The winners of the decorating contest will be honored at the Brielle Chamber
of Commerce Holiday &
Installation/Pride of Brielle

Avon Resident
BY AMANDA STONE
THE COAST STAR
AVON-BY-THE-SEA — While the
National Hockey League
hosted its Winter Classic on
Monday with the New York
Rangers facing off against the
Philadelphia Flyers, the Avon
Pond hosted its own form of
a winter classic on New
Year’s Day.
Instead of two professional
teams going head to head, the
Avon Pond New Year’s Day
hockey tournament hosted
an array of teams comprised
of local children and
teenagers.
Four teams with 12 players
each took to the ice on an
unusually warm New Year’s
Day, playing six-minute-long
periods against one another.
John O’Malley, rink coowner and Avon-by-the-Sea
resident, said those playing
in the tournament represented various schools along the
Jersey Shore, including
Manasquan High School, St.
Rose High School and Wall
Township High School.
J.P. O’Malley, 17, of Avon, is
a regular guest at the Avon
Pond — a portable ice rink
located in Volunteer Park in
the borough.
J.P., who plays hockey for
St. Rose, said playing at the
Avon Pond is a nice change
from playing in professional
rinks.
Since the pond is smaller
than a standard-sized rink, he
said playing there helps him
focus on his stick work and
skating skills.
“I come here usually three
times a week,” J.P. said.
The Avon Pond also caters
to those still in elementary
school.
Jack Monahan, 10, of Avon,
said he likes how the ice rink
is in his own backyard.
“I think it is fun and that
we don’t have to travel far,”
Jack said.
Jack’s
father,
Rich
Monahan, said he thinks the
ice rink is a great asset to the
borough.
“Our lakes don’t freeze
often down here,” Mr.
Monahan said. “This gives us
an opportunity to do stuff we
used to do as kids.”
Mr. Monahan said the
management at the pond has
been helpful to bring both
the younger and older children together.
“They’ve done a really
good job managing everyone
who has to play,” Mr.
Monahan said. “The older
kids are very patient with the
younger kids.”
Prior to the first puck hitting the ice just after 8 a.m.,
those playing in the New
Year’s Day hockey tournament were given a brief
speech on playing respectfully with one another.
“Everyone is following the
rules,” Mr. Monahan said.
Among those few rules
were to be courteous of other
players, not to check and to
keep the puck on the ice.
The rules, Mr. O’Malley
said, further helped skaters
focus more on their stick
work and skating skills.
While watching his son
play hockey, Mr. Monahan
noted how the Avon Pond
allows children who may not
necessarily know one another to play together.
“This brings them all
together,” Mr. Monahan said.
“From a community standpoint, it has really brought a
lot of people together.”
Kristin McHugh, of Avon,
whose
10-year-old
son
Patrick was playing in the
tournament, saw the pond as
an outlet for children to get
out of the house during the
winter months.
Ms. McHugh said her son
recently spent the entire day,
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the
SUEANNE GOSS THE COAST STAR
Competition was plentiful during the Avon Pond New Year’s Day hockey tournament. Children representing various local schools played for nearly five hours on Sunday.
pond.
“It is a great active thing …
nobody is playing video
games,” Ms. McHugh said.
“All the kids are off the couch
doing active, healthy and fun
things.”
The next tournament at
the pond will be held on
Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5.

THE COAST STAR
AVON-BY-THE-SEA — Residents
living along Shark River had
an unpleasant reminder this
weekend of what life was like
just a couple months ago
when the Route 71 bridge was
closed for repairs, causing
them to use alternate routes.
The Route 71 bridge, which
connects Avon-by-the-Sea
and Belmar, became stuck in
the open position just before
7 a.m. on Sunday, according
to Avon-by-the-Sea Police
Chief Terence Mahon.
The bridge remained stuck
open until 1 p.m. on Monday
afternoon, when workers
from the New Jersey
Department
of
Transportation
[NJDOT]
were able to bring the bridge
to a closed position.
Tim Greeley, a spokesman
for the NJDOT, said workers
responded to the scene
Sunday morning, where they
found a broken electrical
switch on the drawbridge.
An initial attempt to fix the
switch on Sunday failed,
according to Mr. Greeley.
The fix, Mr. Greeley said,
required a specific part
which could not be ordered
until Monday due to the holiday weekend.
“The permanent fix was
made and the bridge
resumed open to normal traffic a little past noon on
Monday,” Mr. Greely said.
The problem appeared to
be an isolated incident, Mr.
Greely said.
“It was just sort of a damaged electrical switch on the
bridge,” Mr. Greely said. “We
don’t foresee anything similar in the future. There is no

indication this is an ongoing
problem.”
The time it took to
respond to the damaged
switch was due in part to the
holiday weekend, he said,
noting there would be a
“much more accelerated
response” if the bridge were
to malfunction in the future.
When asked why the

LAKE COMO — The governing
body kicked off the new year
by swearing in borough officials at the reorganization
meeting held Tuesday, Jan. 3.
Hon. Judge Joseph Quinn
— a former Lake Como councilman — administered the
oath of office to the various
officials who required swearing in.
Frank Brancati, the borough’s new fire chief, was
sworn in first, followed by
deputy fire chief Clifford
Russell.
Next, councilmen Kevin
Lynch and Jared Cohen were
sworn in to start new threeyear terms.
Both councilmen are
Democrats who won their
seats on the dais after running uncontested last year.
The council voted to keep
Councilman Brian Wilton as
council president, a position
he also held last year.
Before voting on the new
year’s various appointments,
the council members congratulated
Councilmen
Lynch and Cohen, who
thanked their constituents
for voting them back into
office.
Mayor Michael Ryan also
spoke about the past year,
saying that although it was
“harder to get things done”
because of reduced state aid,
this fiscal year’s budgets was
“the flattest it’s been in eight
or nine years.”
Also, “we had a tropical
storm and hurricane and got
through that traumatic experience,” Mayor Ryan said.
In the upcoming year, the
borough will see the installation of a new SMRSA pump
station, he said.
“It’s going to be an interesting year,” the mayor
added.
He also suggested residents go to the borough’s
Facebook page, “Boro. of
Lake Como, NJ,” with comments and questions for the
governing body.
Mayor Ryan
appointed
council members to various
committees, most of which
were the same assignments
they held last year.
For
example,
Councilwoman
Marni
McFadden-Lee will remain
the council liaison to the
department of public works [
DPW].
Councilman
Douglas
Witte will remain police and
fire liaison.
Councilman Lynch is the
backup police and fire liaison, as well as the council
member in charge of interlocal agreements.
Councilman Cohen will
remain the recreation liaison,
the council representative to
the environmental commission and the council representative to the committee to
bring a YMCA to southern
Monmouth county.
Councilwoman Patricia
Tzibrouk will remain the
council liaison to the community development block
grant [CDBG] and the council recycling liaison.
The borough held off on
appointing members to the
environmental commission
because they still have not
heard from some past members who may wish to remain
on
the
commission,
Councilman Cohen said.
Mayor Ryan
appointed
Donald R. Brahn Jr. to the
position of recycling coordinator from Jan. 3 until Jan. 2,
2013, at a stipend of $250.
Mayor Ryan also appointed borough administrator

Zumbathon event on Jan. 21
Wall-based Clubs for the
Quest to sponsor world
record-breaking
Zumba event
THE COAST STAR
Zumba is not just for the
gym any longer.
On Saturday, Jan. 21,
Asbury Park’s Convention
Hall is expected to be filled
with more than 1,000 zumba
enthusiasts and beginners
alike.
The Zumbathon charity
event, which is slated to kick
off at 11 a.m., is hosted by
Clubs for the Quest and aims
to raise funds to find a cure
for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS].
Organizers aim to not only
raise more than $100,000 for
the cause, but also break the
Zumbathon world record by
drawing more than 1,600
people to the event.
Pat Laos, the chief executive officer of The Atlantic
Club in Wall Township,
founded Clubs for the Quest
in order to help Augie’s
Quest, an organization created by her friend, Augie
Nieto, who was diagnosed
with ALS in 2005.
ALS, commonly known as
Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a
fatal, progressive, neurodegenerative disease that
attacks nerve cells in the
brain and spinal chord,
resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy.
It destroys the nerve cells
controlling muscles, ultimately causing complete
paralysis while leaving mental function intact. Survival
is typically three to five
years after diagnosis and no
cure currently exists.
The organization is solely

Zumbathon organizers hope those who participate regularly in Zumba classes at The Atlantic Club and

dedicated to funding ALS
research. Augie’s Quest has
raised more than $30 million
in six years, and 100 percent
of all donations go directly
to the research.
Kass Martin, a wellknown
Zumba
fitness
instructor from Utah, is
expected to attract Zumba
enthusiasts from near and
far, The Atlantic Club chief
operating officer Kevin
McHugh said. The 90minute class is appropriate
for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Local licensed instructors
will also help lead the class,
which Mr. McHugh hopes
will entice experts and those
new to the fitness dance.
Clubs for the Quest has
also teamed up with the Joan
Dancy and PALS [People
with ALS] Foundation, which
provides support for residents of Monmouth, Ocean
and Middlesex counties who
suffer from ALS.
The partnership aims to
bring those who work with
the Joan Dancy and PALS
Foundation to the event and,
in turn, the organization will
received some of the donations, in addition to Augie’s
Quest.
Joan Dancy and PALS
focuses on improving the
quality of life for ALS
patients who are suffering
today, rather than research
to find a cure for those to be
diagnosed in the future, like
Augie’s Quest. Bringing the
two groups together aims to
balance the two missions at
the Zumbathon charity
event.
All are welcome to join in
the event on Jan. 21 by either
dancing, watching or just
coming for lunch. Zumba
Fitness, a Latin-inspired
dance-fitness program, can
be enjoyed by all. The exercise has taken off across the
country and Clubs for the
Quest is taking advantage of
its popularity to help raise
funds to find a cure for ALS.
To
register,
visit
www.clubsforthequest.com
or call 732-292-4357. It costs
$75 to participate, $25 for
lunch and a photo with Ms.
Martin, and $25 to come as a
spectator.
Doors will open on
Saturday, Jan. 21, at 10 a.m. at
the Asbury Park Convention
Hall. Zumba will start at 11
a.m. and lunch will begin at
12:30 p.m., immediately after

“There’s something to read for everyone.”
HEATHER HANSEN Wall’s New Children’s Librarian
Looking for a good read?
Heather Hansen, the
new children’s librarian,
is ready to help
BY KATIE LOBOSCO
THE COAST STAR
WALL TOWNSHIP — There is a
book for everyone, and Wall
Township Public Library’s
new children’s librarian is
determined to find a good
read for anyone who walks in
the library — or will at least
try her best.
“One of my favorite things
in the world is having a
patron, especially someone
who calls themselves a nonreader, come back and talk
about a book like one would
talk about an amazing vacation,” said Heather Hansen
who, as of Jan. 3, is in charge
of the children’s programming at the Wall Township
Public Library.
Although she specializes in
juvenile and teen literature,
Ms. Hansen is well-read and
ready to recommend a book
for one of any age.
“There’s something to read
for everyone,” she said.
Ms. Hansen, who has been
in charge of the children’s
programming for the Sea
Girt and Brielle public
libraries, is switching places
with Tracey Curtis. Ms.
Curtis, an eight-year veteran
as the children’s librarian at
Wall, will now be moving to
the Sea Girt and Brielle
libraries.
All three libraries are part
of the Monmouth County
Library system and, according to Ms. Hansen, it is not
out of the ordinary for librarians to be switched from one
place to another. The
Monmouth County Library
has more than one dozen
branches.
Ms. Hansen is more than
excited to come to the Wall
library where she once completed a summer internship
and worked as a page, stacking shelves, from 2002 to
2007.
“I’m so happy. It’s where I
cut my teeth,” she said.
As a summer intern, she
helped organize the popular
children’s Summer Reading
Clubs, according to Wall
Library’s branch manager
Janet Trotter.
Ms. Hansen had also previously worked at the
Neptune City Library, but
said she was unaware of all
that a library could offer
until working at the larger
Wall Township branch.
“I wound up coming to
Wall and fell in love with the
pace,” she said.
So much so, in fact, that
Ms. Hansen — who had
planned on becoming and
English teacher — changed
her mind about what career
she wanted to pursue.
Having received an associate’s
degree
from
Brookdale
Community
College and a bachelor’s
degree
from
Rutgers
University with a focus in
literature and humanities,
Ms. Hansen then attended
Clarion
University
in
Clarion, Pa., to receive a
master’s degree in library
sciences.
Although Ms. Hansen
likened leaving the Brielle
and Sea Girt libraries to
“leaving a family,” she was
still eager for the chance to
return to Wall.
She will be at the library
Hear what the locals are saying...
I started coming to The Beachcomber Salon about 8 years ago. prior to
that I did a lot of salon-hopping. Feeling frustrated that I could never
count on my hairdressers to give me the cut and color I was looking for,
I decided to try the Beachcomber after a friend of mine referred me to
Lisa. Lisa was amazing! She always knows the latest styles and trends,
and is willing to work with me to achieve what will work best for me.
Two kids and a much tighter schedule later, I still go to The Beachcomber.
While my schedule just doesn’t fit with Lisa’s, I now regularly see Frank,
the owner. I can’t say enough about him. He has been in business for a
long time and his experience really shows with the work that he does. I
have also had many other stylists cut my hair as well, and I am
never disappointed. Over the
time I have been going to The
Beachcomber, I have gradually
gone from shoulder length hair
to a very short style. I feel confident that no matter what I am
looking for I can get it at The
Beachcomber.

from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. each

about 10 different story
times and other children’s
programs.
Different story times will
be geared to different age
groups, including baby, toddler, preschool, school-aged
for children in grades
kindergarten and older, as
well as a family program for
children ages 10 months to
five years old.
A complete list of dates
and times can be found
online at www.monmouthcountylib.org. Dates and
times will also be posted at
the children’s desk located
at the Wall Township Public
Library. There is no need to
register for the programs.
Ms. Hansen encourages children to come whenever they
can.
Some programs will not
only feature a story, but also
a craft or movie to go with
the book. Throughout the
year, special performers,
such as a magician, will be
scheduled, as well.
“I really want people to
come when they can,” said
Ms. Hansen, noting many
school-aged children are
often tied up with sports,
clubs and other activities.
Ms. Hansen also plans to
organize what she calls
“Book Celebration” events,
which would bring children
together to mark the release
of a book in a popular series,
for example.
As time goes on, the new
librarian intends to shape
the schedule of programs as
best as possible so the most
children can attend.
“The kids learn about the
library and meet others they
may not necessarily know
from school,” said Ms.
Hansen, of the library children’s programs.
“As a 21st-century children’s librarian, Ms. Hansen
understands the important
position libraries hold in a
community,” Ms.
Trotter
said. “They are evolving and
are more than just books.
“Libraries are also vibrant
community centers and one
of the most important and
rewarding responsibilities of
the library is its children’s
librarian, who has the
opportunity and privilege to
create and present programs
and activities that help foster a love for reading and
learning in our young preschool and school-aged children,” she added.
In addition to special programs, Ms. Hansen will continue to make reading recommendations for anyone to
walks into the library. If a
patron does not know what
they are looking for, she will
go through the shelves and
try to find something they

Local assault victim checks into rehab
Pennsylvania rehab
center offers services
to David Ivins;
WHIP collects $10,000
BY KATIE LOBOSCO
THE COAST STAR
WALL TOWNSHIP — The past
month has brought significant change to the life of
David Ivins, a homeless man
who was assaulted by two
locals just a few weeks before
Christmas.
YouTube videos posted on
Dec. 11 and Dec. 12 showed
Mr. Ivins being punched,
kicked and bleeding from an
unprovoked attack in a
wooded area near Curtis
Avenue.
An outpouring of support
for the man from people
across the state and organizations like the Belmar Police
Department and Wall Helps
Its People [WHIP], may have
turned a terrible situation
into an opportunity for Mr.
Ivins to get off the streets.
WHIP has set up a donation fund for him and, to
date, about $10,000 has been
collected for Mr. Ivins.
WHIP, working in conjunction with the Wall Police
Department and the township, has taken on the role of
liaison between Mr. Ivins and
the public, who have reached
out to assist him in his time
of need. All funds collected
from people who have made
donations on Mr. Ivins'
behalf will be used to provide
food, shelter, medical assistance and any other life
necessities that should arise.
“The entire community
has been united in their concern over Mr. Ivins and are
proud to be working with
Wall Helps Its People to get
him back on the right path,”
said Wall Township Mayor
Ann Marie Conte.
According to Belmar
Police
Chief
Thomas
Palmisano, Mr. Ivins has
checked into a rehabilitation
program at the Livengrin
Foundation
located
in
Bensalem, Pa. The foundation is donating its services
free of charge for Mr. Ivens,
who has been homeless for
several years.
“They sent us an email and
said that if he needed to go
there, they would donate
[their services] to help him,”
said Chief Palmisano.
The Livengrin foundation
offers rehabilitation for
addiction recovery. In an
interview on Dec. 21, Mr.
Ivins told The Coast Star that
he wanted to stop drinking.
Chief Palmisano expects
Mr. Ivins to stay at the rehabilitation center until the
third week of January.
Before he checked into the
center, Mr. Ivins was staying
in a donated room at the
Belmar Inn. He went from
there
directly
to
the
Pennsylvania rehabilitation
center, said Chief Palmisano.
The chief said he did not
know what Mr. Ivins’s plans
are once he leaves the center.
“We won’t know anything
until he finishes his stay at
rehab,” said Chief Palmisano.
“We’ll see how he goes
from there, but I hope — for
his sake — he turns his life
around and moves forward,”
he said.
Hillary
Addonizio,
President of WHIP, said that
the organization has received
donations
from
people
across the country, often
accompanied by heartfelt letters written to Mr. Ivins.
“The money will definitely
go toward any help he needs,
whether it’s food, clothing‚
whatever the case may be,”
said Ms. Addonizio.
Donation checks can be
sent to WHIP P.O. Box 1214,
Wall, 07719 and should be
made out to WHIP, but a note
should be made that it is for
the David Ivins account.

THE COAST STAR
WALL TOWNSHIP — Three
stand-out Wall High School
seniors were recently recognized for their work in and
outside of the classroom.
Amanda Lutick, Morgan
Sprengel
and
Conor
Mulholland were honored by
high
school
principal
Rosaleen Sirchio and Jersey
Mike’s Subs Chief Executive
Officer [CEO] Peter Cancro
Mr. Cancro was on hand at
a recent Wall Township
Board of Education meeting
to recognize the students, as
well as make a $15,000 donation to the school district for
extracurricular activities.
According to Ms. Sirchio,
academic success, extracurricular involvement, community service and character
were taken into consideration when selecting students
for the award.
“While I know there are
numerous Wall High School
students who meet the criteria, a committee of administrators, guidance counselors,
and teachers selected three
outstanding students,” said
Ms. Sirchio.
Amanda is ranked second,
academically, in her class at
Wall High School. She is a
member of both the National
Honor Society and the World
Language Honor Society.
Amanda has achieved high
honor roll standing each
marking period while a student in the Wall schools, said
Ms. Sirchio. She is currently
the president and co-founder
of the school’s anti-bullying
task force and has also participated in various other clubs
and athletic teams at the high
school. “Amanda challenges
herself to be the best she can
be each day,” said Ms.
Sirchio.
Morgan is a scholar-athlete
and has previously been recognized as a student of the
month. “Morgan epitomizes
school spirit and community
involvement,”
said
Ms.
Sirchio. She is the senior captain for the Wall High School
cheerleading sideline team
and a member of the school’s
competitive cheerleading
squad as well. Morgan has
spearheaded the organization of many school spirit
days and pep rallies, noted
her principal. “Morgan is a
student that is proud to be a
Knight,” said Ms. Sirchio.
Another scholar-athlete,
Conor is ranked in the top 10percent of his class. He was a
member of the football, basketball and baseball varsity
teams as a junior. He has
donated his time to the
Foodbank of Monmouth and
Ocean Counties as well as
the
American
Cancer
Society, while also participating in a number of clubs such
as Student Council, World
Language Club, Math Club
and National Honor Society.
“Conor is one of those
remarkable students who
continues to challenge himself both academically and
athletically, yet still finds the
time to complete community
service,” said Ms. Sirchio.
Mr. Cancro, a Point
Pleasant Beach High School
alumnus, said this is the second year his company has
supported students in this
capacity — a program he
calls “Support our Students.”
“Budgets are being cut all
across the country,” said Mr.
Cancro. “And what that
means, is they’re cutting programs now and the future for
music and arts … and of
course, sports.
“So we’re starting out by
giving $15,000 to each high
school,” said Mr. Cancro. The
CEO of Jersey Mike’s noted
that academics are number
one, but “extracurricular

activities need to be in the
forefront, as well.”
Jersey Mike’s has also
donated
$15,000
to
Manasquan, Point Pleasant
Beach and Point Boro high
schools.
The company has more
than 600 sub shops in 31
states. Mr. Cancro said Jersey

intends to expand it for students across the country.

WALL TOWNSHIP — The
Design Academy, which
opened its doors to students
at Communications High
School this past fall, has seen
success during the first
semester of its inception and
is now soliciting applications
for next year’s students.
Communications
High
School [CHS] is based in
Wall Township and is part of
the Monmouth County
Vocational School District.
Any student from Monmouth
County is eligible to apply to
the school in order to enroll
as a freshman.
At the start of the 2011-2012
school year, CHS dissolved
its shared-time program,
which allowed students from
other high schools in
Monmouth County to split
their time between their
home high school and CHS.
The newly formed Design
Academy allows students to
transfer into CHS in their
junior year in order to take
advantage of a curriculum
focused on visual communications and graphic arts.
The school will be holding
an information session for
those interested in joining
the program on Wednesday,
Jan. 11. It is slated for 6:30
p.m. and both the student
and a parent must attend in
order to acquire the required
application for the 2012-2013
school year.
CHS will be looking for 20
students for the incoming
Design Academy class, said
school Principal James
Gleason.
Students accepted to the
program will take honorlevel classes in subjects such
as math, science and English,
but will also take classes
focused on visual communications and graphic design,
he said.
“It’s a great opportunity for
students to get exposure to
what CHS can offer,” said Mr.
Gleason.
The curriculum, not only
in the Design Academy but
for the school-wide population, prepares students to
attend a college or university.
In the theme-related classes students in the Design
Academy will take, they will
be exposed to programs such
as Adobe Creative Suite,
Photoshop
and
Adobe
Design. The students will
learn how to create advertisements for a magazine or
newspaper, for example, or
even a whole business plan
with a new marketing idea
and letterhead logo.
Current Design Academy
students Danielle Leung of
Lincroft and Ben Laudicano
of Belford said this week
they are glad they made the
transfer to CHS from their
respective
home
high
schools.
A favorite project the students have worked on this
year was to make a 90-second animation.
“We drew a storyboard,
then illustrated the characters on the computer and animated them [in another computer program],” explained
Danielle.
Ben said he joined the program because he is the “kind
of person who likes to try
new things.”
“I couldn’t imagine going
back to my old school now
that I’ve done this,” said Ben,
who
transferred
from
Middletown High School
North.
Danielle said she has been
challenged since joining the
Design Academy and expects
the curriculum at CHS to
help her gain acceptance into
a prestigious college.
When asked what kind of
student he would encourage
to apply to the Design
Program, Ben said there is
not just one kind of person
that would benefit from the
program.
“We’re all really different,”
he said of his classmates.
Despite the different personalities, “we all get along
so well,” added Danielle.
“We’re looking for students who are college-minded and interested in art,” said
Mr. Gleason.
He noted how having
career training complimented with honor-level courses
is “important for all our
youth today.” Mr. Gleason
said the new program has
met all his expectations thus
far.
Prospective
Design
Academy
students
are
encouraged to attend next
Wednesday’s information
session. Students applying
are required to submit an
application, a portfolio and
take an entrance exam.
Requirement details will be
discussed at the information
session.
CHS, a career academy,
first opened in 2000 as a fulltime high school open to students in Monmouth County.

WALL TOWNSHIP
THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 2012 THE COAST STAR PAGE 23
Scout dedicates project to memory of a leader
BY KATIE LOBOSCO
THE COAST STAR
WALL TOWNSHIP — When
Nick Ruding set out to earn
Eagle Scout status, he knew
he wanted his project to
have sentimental meaning
and help people — although
he was not quite sure what
that would be.
In order to become an
Eagle Scout, young men
must complete a project
upholding the Boy Scout
values of responsible citizenship, character development and self-reliance.
After considering, and
even planning two other
projects, Nick finally settled
on his idea to beautify a spot
near the bike path in Wall
Township.
The location, near the
parking lot at the intersection of Baileys Corner and
Ocean roads, has a rain garden, but Nick spruced up the
area by creating a walkway
to an informational kiosk
and creating a memorial to
the late Michael Grogan.
Nick had finally found the
meaningful project he had
been searching for.
Mr. Grogan died in
October after fighting a long
battle with cancer. He had
served as the committee
chair for Troop 82 based in
Wall in the past and, in fact,
was involved in the troop
when Nick’s older brother,
Matthew, became an Eagle
Scout in 2005.
In his capacity as committee chairman, he oversaw
the adults who help supervise Troop 82, explained
N i c k .
Although
Nick, now 17,
was not fully
involved
w i t h
Scouting
simultaneously with
MICHAEL
Mr. Grogan,
GROGAN
the Ruding
and Grogan
families were well-acquainted with each other.
Mr. Grogan’s son, also
named Matthew, was the
same age as Nick’s brother.
Nick’s
father,
Craig
Ruding, has also been
involved in Troop 82 for the
past 16 years.
Mr. Grogan and his wife,
Susan, raised their children
Matthew, Kathleen and
Kelly on Herbertsville Road
in Wall. In addition to his
involvement with Scouting,
Mr. Grogan became a deacon in 2003 at St. Mark’s
Church in Sea Girt and
coached his children in
Little League. He was a 1980
graduate of the United
States Military Academy at
West Point.
“I threw out the idea to
create a memorial ground
for Mr. Grogan and everybody loved it,” said Nick.
Included in the memorial is
a boulder with a plaque honoring the late troop committee chairman.
Mr. Grogan “was an amazing leader and a great person,” said Nick. “At his
funeral, his family expressed
his love of Scouting, and that
is what inspired me to do
something in his memory,”
he continued.
Mrs. Grogan said it was
“really nice of” Nick to want
to honor her late husband.
“Mike held Scouting very
high,” said Mrs. Grogan, who
attended the ceremony held
on Saturday with some family members who were in
town for the holidays.
“Mike really enjoyed
Scouting, its values, and
interacting with all the people associated with the
group, especially Craig
Ruding,” Mrs. Grogan said
this week.
Nick said he completed
his project on Dec. 26 after
beginning the work just a
month before. Although he
cut it close to the deadline,
he had to be finished before
his 18th birthday on Jan. 2,
Nick feels he found the right
project for him.
“I wanted to do one close
to the heart,” said Nick. He
added the support he
received from the troop and
his family was “amazing”
and helped him to finish his
project on time.
Mrs. Grogan said her late
husband enjoyed watching
Nick grow through the
Scouting program.
“The troop is very community-minded,” she said of
Troop 82 based in Wall.
Nick is expected to be the
76th member of the troop to
become an Eagle Scout since
1962.

after striking a utility pole.
On Dec. 30, at approximately 11:55 p.m., the police
department responded to a
car versus utility pole motor
vehicle accident at the intersection of Gully Road and
Brighton Avenue.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle
being operated by Sung Choi,
43, Tinton Falls, left the roadway and struck the utility
pole. Mr. Choi had to be
extricated from the vehicle
by the Glendola Fire
Department and the Wall
Township First Aid Squad.

Lobsterfest will return this July
Chamber hopes success
of last July’s event will
lead to bigger, better
things in 2012
BY MARYROSE MULLEN
THE COAST STAR
BRADLEY BEACH — With
recent temperatures dropping into the teens, it is difficult to remember the summer’s scorchers spent alongside the Shore. The Bradley
Beach
Chamber
of
Commerce has not forgotten
the success the season
brought to the borough,
though, and is using that
memory as motivation for
an even better 2012.
The
Bradley
Beach
Chamber of Commerce singled out July’s Lobsterfest as
the most successful chamber-sponsored event in 2011.
Lobsterfest was an all-day
event that took place on
Bradley’s Fifth Avenue
Pavilion and featured food,
music, and plenty of unexpected surprises — including a flash mob dance set to
the tune “Footloose.”
The
fourth
annual
Lobsterfest is well into the
planning stages. Shirley
Ayers of the chamber called
the third annual Lobsterfest
“very successful” and is
anticipating an even larger
crowd come this July. So
large, in fact, the chamber is
considering extending the
event to take place over two
days.
“We’re thinking of holding
it over the weekend of July
14 and 15,” she said. “We
think it can be supported for
that long. We had quite a few
people come out last year.”
Lovers of seafood were
not the only ones who came
out in droves to Lobsterfest
last year. The event boasted
a wide variety of vendors,
including sellers of clothes,
jewelry and airbrush tattoos.
STEVE WEXLER THE COAST STAR
Bradley Beach’s 3rd Annual Lobster Fest drew a hungry and eager crowd to the borough last July.
Planning for this year’s celebration has already begun.
“We’re trying to encourage more businesses to become involved. We
want to help people in the area make their businesses grow. We want to
draw more people into the businesses in town.”
COLLEEN HARRINGTON Chamber of Commerce President
Mrs. Ayers said that restaurants and businesses in the
area are itching to get
involved.
“We add more people
every year,” she said. “If vendors can’t stay [at the event]
we always have people to fill
places. We have a waiting
list full of vendors.”
Chamber
President
Colleen Harrington, of
Flowers By Colleen on Main
Street, said the event had
“something for everybody,”
and was proud to have
helped put together something enjoyable for the
entire family.
“In today’s economy when
things are so tight, families
have to think twice before
spending,”
she
said.
“[Lobsterfest] gave people a
lot of bang for their buck,
and it was fun for the whole
family.”
Mrs. Harrington said
because the chamber only
puts on a handful of events
each year, it is imperative
that every event is successful.
“We only do a few events
a year, so we have to make
sure we do a good job,” she
said. “We will attend other
events in the area to see how
they operate.”
Along with the fourth
annual Lobsterfest, residents can also expect another wine tasting at Giamano’s
Ristorante similar to the one
held this December.
Mrs. Harrington said the
chamber is also planning on
setting up a kiosk in Riley
Park sometime this year in
order to distribute information on the borough.
The chamber’s biggest
goal for 2012, she said, is to
spur on more businesses in
the area to become involved,
which it hopes will allow the
borough to flourish.
“We’re trying to encourage more business to
become involved,” she said.
“We want to help people in
the area make their businesses grow. We want to
draw more people into the
businesses in town.
“The chamber is growing
and people are joining,” she
added. “We’re getting great
reception from members.
It’s a slow thing, but we do
get nice participation.”

BRADLEY BEACH — The assistance of a Bradley Beach resident was crucial in apprehending a pair of suspected
burglars.
A local man reported two
suspicious persons to police
from his cell phone while
walking his dog. The resident, who wishes to remain
anonymous, was walking his
dog at approximately 7:25
p.m. on Dec. 20. He then
noticed a man and a woman
standing on the corner of
Ocean Park Avenue and
Fletcher Lake, Chief of
Police Leonard Guida said.
The resident, who had
knowledge that the property
owner was away, yelled at
the two, who fled the scene.
He then called the station
from his cell phone. The resident relayed information
about the two suspects to
the police dispatcher, who
were able to locate the suspects based on the witnesses
statements, police said.
Police
apprehended
Chelsea Cappa, 19, of
Cranbury, and Khareen
Ferreira, 32, of Ocean Grove,
at a multiple-unit rooming
house on Park Place. Both
were hiding in the closet of a
vacant apartment.
Ms. Cappa and Mr.
Ferreira were charged with
conspiracy to commit burglary, theft and criminal
attempt. Ms. Cappa was
additionally charged with
possession of heroin, possession of cocaine and possession of syringes, police
said.
Chief Guida stated that
both Cappa and Ferreira had
a criminal history within the
area.
Det. Anthony Murray and
Sgt. Charles Zulla made the
arrests. Ms. Cappa and Mr.
Ferreira were incarcerated
in the Monmouth County
Correctional Institution, in
Freehold, with bail set at
$30,000 each, Chief Guida
said.

the officers involved.

BY MARYROSE MULLEN
THE COAST STAR
BRADLEY BEACH — The
Bradley
Beach
Police
Department have made two
arrests in connection with a
break-in at a Sunoco gas station in the borough, police
said.
Anthony Miller, 38, of
Neptune, and Cowan Rainey,
36, of Ocean Township, were
charged with burglary of a
gas station on Main Street
on Dec. 22. Mr. Rainey is
additionally charged with
theft and resisting arrest.
Police stated that Mr.
Miller acted as a lookout
while Mr. Rainey broke in.
Police said they noticed
Mr. Miller acting suspiciously and saw him attempt to
avoid video cameras within
the store by crawling on his
hands and knees.
Police stated they eventually saw Mr. Rainey emerge
from the gas station with a
box filled with cartons of
cigarettes. The suspect fled
with Mr. Miller after spotting the police.
Mr. Rainey was identified
by video within the store
and was later arrested in
Red Bank. Mr Miller was
arrested
in
Neptune.
Detectives Terry Browning
and Anthony Murray made
the arrests.
According to court documents, Mr. Rainey broke
into the side utility closet at
the gas station, then broke
through the interior wall of
the store, and stole $3,848
worth of tobacco products.
Both are currently incarcerated in the Monmouth
County
Correctional
Institution, Freehold, with
bail set at $20,000 and
$5,000 for Mr. Rainey and
Mr. Miller, respectively.
“As a result of those
arrests, other municipalities
are potentially going to make
arrests,” he said. “Through

to finish Maccanico’s
council term
BY SHANNON CONNELLY
THE COAST STAR
SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS — A
new mayor was sworn in at
the town council’s reorganization meeting held Sunday.
Gavino “Butch” Maccanico,
a former councilman, was
sworn into his new post and
the council made several
other professional appointments for 2012.
Gary McLean, who was
formerly a council member
from 2007 - 2009, was selected by the council to serve out
the remaining year of Mayor
Macannico’s council seat.
The term ends Dec. 31, 2012.
Mr. McLean challenged
Democrat Elwood Malick for
the mayoral seat unsuccessfully in 2007.
Councilwoman
and
Chairperson of the Spring
Lake Heights Republicans,
Sara King, submitted two
other names to the council
for consideration for the
replacement of Republican
Mayor Macannico’s council
spot — on behalf of her party.
James Hackett, the former
president of the school board
of education, and resident
Raymond Miller were put
forth along with Councilman
McLean’s name. The council,
which must select one of the
three candidates submitted
by the party to serve, unanimously
voted
to
tap
Councilman McLean for the
seat.
“My main goal is to make
things run as smoothly as
possible and fill in for
Maccanico as well as I can,”
Councilman McLean said
this week.
He was sworn in on
Sunday along with recently
elected Republican councilman James Shuler, Mayor
Maccanico, and Republican
Councilwoman
Patricia
Cindea who was re-elected to
her seat on the governing
body in November.

Heights school names honor roll students
THE COAST STAR
SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS — The
residents, here, who were
found hoarding more than 60
dogs and puppies in their
Jersey Avenue home will face
criminal charges, according
to Victor “Buddy” Amato,
chief law enforcement officer
for the Monmouth County
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals [MCSPCA].
Muriel Ennis, 69, and her
son, Chad Ennis, 40, will likely be charged with roughly 31
counts of animal cruelty in
the form of improper shelter.
When contacted yesterday,
Mr. Amato said he intends to
deliver all of the complaints
to the Ennis’ attorney, David
J. Foley, as soon as possible.
Dogs taken from the Ennis
residence at 812 Jersey Ave. in
December were transported
to the MCSPCA and
Homeward Bound Adoption
Center in Eatontown, where
Mr. Amato said they are
doing well and that almost all
are ready for adoption.
Mr. Amato said it will likely only be necessary for the
Ennises to pay restitution to
cover the cost of veterinarians examining the animals
taken from their home, and
hopes their right to animal
ownership will be revoked.
He could not give an approximation for the costs associated with examining the
dogs.
According to Mr. Amato,
Ms. Ennis has been “very
cooperative” with everything
the county has asked of her,
and he does not believe that
the animal cruelty was intentional.
“With the economy, people
don’t know what to do. They
got caught up in it,” he said.
He also noted none of the

not only in written form but
also as video or audio

Sister Kathy
said.
During the pilot program,
faculty members saw how
the iPads complemented
their curriculum, Sister
Kathy said. While some students were using iPads,
Advanced Placement [AP]
English students were also
encouraged to bring in their
own e-reading devices —
such as iPads, nooks or
Kindles — to use instead of
traditional books.
Students and faculty
members found the use of ereaders facilitated classroom discussion mostly
because it enabled students
to locate passages of text
much more quickly due to
the devices’ search capacities, Sister Kathy said.
For example, if a teacher
wanted students to read a
specific block of text, the
students simply had to
search for the first few
words and their devices
would bring them to that
spot in the book.
Also, much of the literature covered in AP English
classes is in the public
domain, meaning it can be
obtained more cost-effectively on e-reading devices
and iPads, Sister Kathy said.
Some books are free of
charge, while others only
cost a few dollars.
This affordability carries
over to other subject matter,
also. For example, a graphing calculator used for statistics or other math and science classes can cost $100 or
more. An application — app,
for short, or a software program — on an iPad that performs the same functions
costs only $1 or $2, Sister
Kathy said.
The school will employ
various other apps to supplement students’ learning.
One app will show students
in colored, three-dimensional graphics what is going on
at the molecular level when
they perform experiments in
science class, Sister Kathy
said.
Another
app,
called
Evernote, helps students
assemble and organize their
notes. Other apps will help
students examine primary
sources in history classes.
Teachers will also be
equipped with iPads to
assist them in their work.
They can use the iPads to
control the interactive

relative ease, Sister Kathy
said.
An added benefit to teaching through iPad technology,
Sister Kathy said, is the way
the devices enable students
to focus and pay attention
when they may have difficulty doing so.
“For students who struggle academically, it gives
them focus,” Sister Kathy
said. “The technology is
more attractive and appealing and spans all learning
levels.”
The school will also look
at the possibility of converting to e-textbooks instead of
using hard copies in the
future, Sister Kathy said.
Faculty members are
encouraged to conduct
research on how to use technology in the classroom,
Sister Kathy said. The principal herself has discovered
podcasts — pre-recorded
audio programs downloaded
on iTunes — can be informative in this regard. Some
teachers also correspond
with their counterparts
around the country and
share tips through blogs and
online message boards, she
said.
The school will also
ensure students are “good
digital citizens” by upgrading its acceptable use policies and teaching the students to use the iPads “effectively and responsibly,”
Sister Kathy said.
Students will be unable to
purchase apps without faculty permission, Sister
JOSEPH J. DELCONZO THE COAST STAR
St. Rose High School’s director of technology, Michelle Cheasty,
demonstrated how to use an iPad for education this week.
Kathy said. Also, the iPads
will technically be the property of the school, although
students will be responsible
for them.
The school will purchase
insurance for the devices, as
well as protective screen
covers and cases to minimize breakage.
When students graduate,
they will have the opportunity to buy back the iPads
from the school at a discounted rate, Sister KAthy
said.
Students will also undergo
an orientation workshop
during the summer so they
can learn how to use the
iPads, Sister Kathy said.
Incorporating this technology is important because
it helps students learn how
to deal with the wealth of
information accessible to
them thanks to the Internet,
Sister Kathy said.
“There’s so much more
information available now
and we can’t fit it all in,” sister Kathy said. “Technology
shouldn’t replace education.
It should show students how
to evaluate the information
they’re exposed to and
determine its worth.”

Borough saw extreme weather,

Suspicious fires and a

BY MOLLY MULSHINE
THE COAST STAR
BELMAR — Last year started
with a new mayor and ended
with a shake-up in the staff
at borough hall, and there
were plenty of changes and
events in between to keep
residents occupied.
A NEW LEADER
Belmar saw a new mayor
for the first time in 20 years
in 2011 after former Mayor
Kenneth Pringle stepped
down in 2010.
After two decades on the
dais, Mr. Pringle decided not
to seek reelection. Democrat
and then-council president
Matthew Doherty defeated
Republican council member
Richard Wright for the
mayor’s seat. Mayor Doherty
was sworn into his office at a
gala celebration at the
Barclay Hotel on Sunday, Jan
2.
“We will manage, as we
have done in the past, not
simply because we have to,
but because there is no more
efficient government, there is
no more accountable government to the people than local
government,” Mayor
Doherty said to the 400 peo-
ple in attendance.
Mayor Doherty named
Councilwoman Claire Deicke

Brian Magovern, had secured
another three-year term —

Councilman
Richard
Wright would finish his term
as the lone Republican on the
dais, after his running mates,
Brian Dempsey and Jim
Bean, lost the November
council election.
Later that month, new

She will remain on the governing body for another year
before she is able to campaign for a full three-year
term.
A LONG, SNOWY WINTER
Local officials are still talking about the weather event
that took the area by storm
on Dec. 26, 2010, and kicked
off an especially snowy winter season.
The Blizzard of 2010
dropped more than 16 inches
of snow on the area. The 55mph winds accompanying
the storm caused drifts to
accumulate up to six feet
high.
“It got ugly out there,”
department of public works
[DPW] superintendent Andy
Meuerle said at the time. “We
spend 24 hours removing
100-plus stranded vehicles”
from roadways.
Snow accumulated significantly three more times in
January, and Belmar’s officials and residents praised
the borough’s DPW for its
efficient handling of the
weather conditions.
DOG PARK DENIED

barked up the wrong tree
when they tried to bring a
dog park to town.
No issue throughout the
year brought as many residents out to comment at a
council meeting as did the
proposed dog park in early
2011.
Resident Sue
Gerber
attended the March 16 council meeting to suggest the
borough install a dog park at

SID to hold public meeting
Will review
accomplishments, plans
& 2012 budget
BY MOLLY MULSHINE
THE COAST STAR
BELMAR — The special
improvement district [SID]
is informing the public of its
accomplishments and plans
for the future through
emailed
correspondence,
mailings and a meeting
scheduled for Jan. 10.
The SID’s 2012 budget is up
for approval at the Jan. 18
council meeting in borough
hall at 8 p.m. At a December
meeting, members of the
public and the business community lamented the organization’s failure to have open
public meetings or release
minutes of the closed meetings it has held.
The public is invited to the
meeting on Jan. 10 from 6:30
to 8 p.m. at the Belmar Arts
Council headquarters at 608
River Road to learn about the
SID and possibly ask questions of its members.
The SID — also known as
the
Belmar
Business
Partnership [BBP] — also
sent out an email to members
of the business community
with an outline of the group’s
accomplishments and budget
last week.
Dec. 14 council meeting that
the SID hold a public meeting where business owners
could discuss issues directly
with them.
The SID announced last
week via an email newsletter
that it will hold a public
meeting. The meeting’s format has not yet been determined, said executive director Michael Redpath, and
will depend on how many
members of the public
attend.
The SID distributes an
informational email about
once a week, Mr. Redpath
said.
“We try to do it on a regular basis so that [members of
the business community] are
aware of things that are
affecting them and also are
aware that we’re working for
them,” Mr. Redpath said.
THE SID’S GOVERNING BODY
The SID is governed by a
board of trustees which
includes business property
owners Norm Einhorn, Brian
Hadden, Kevin Jacobs, Gail
O’Reilly, Dirk Reitsma and
Kacy Renna; Salon Marsal
owner
Sal
Marchese;
Sunsations owner Sherry
Michaels; Councilwoman
Jennifer Nicolay; D’Jais
owner Frank Sementa and
Inn at the Shore owner Tom
Volker.
The board was selected in
PUBLIC INPUT

Vince Petruziello, the the business community and
owner of Belmar restaurant commercial property owners

Hockey Tournament.
the board members, Mr.
Redpath said.
The board also has elected
an executive committee
which consists of Mr.
Marchese as president; Mr.
Jacobs as vice president; Ms.
O’Reilly as treasurer; and Mr.
Einhorn as secretary.
The board meets monthly
and the executive committee
members meet monthly at a
separate time.
Board members are elected to two-year terms which
currently are not staggered,
but Mr. Redpath has suggested the SID change its policy
bylaws to stagger the terms
so that the board does not
consist of entirely new members after each election.
Mr. Redpath and administrative assistant Brenda
Yarnold are the SID’s paid
employees who carry out the
organizations
day-to-day
functions in line with the
policies established by the
board of trustees.
The business community
was invited to select the first
board, but the SID’s bylaws
dictate it will be up to the
board to elect its future
members each year, Mr.
Redpath said.
The
organization
is
policed by the borough’s
governing body, which has
the right to approve or deny
the SID’s budget each year,
Mr. Redpath said.
“There’s a high level of
accountability,” Mr. Redpath
said. “It’s just not in a way
that people are used to. For
example, we have to file an
annual report with the
mayor and council by the
end of this month that is
required by state statute.”
The SID is also required
to have an audit performed
annually, Mr. Redpath said.
Monthly meetings are not
open to the public because
“the board is a policy-setting
body,” Mr. Redpath said. “It
is responsible for reviewing
the operation of the organization and resetting its
direction each month as
necessary.”
The executive committee
meets apart from the board
“so that there is some additional
guidance,” Mr.
Redpath said. “The board
establishes policies and the
executive committee manages things that provide
guidance at a lower level.”
GETTING INVOLVED
Business owners — or
even interested residents —
can become involved with
the SID by joining one of its
various committees.
The visual improvement
committee, for example,
“deals with appearance” and
members of this group may

plant flowers in the spring,
decorate for the holidays or
place garlands on light poles,
Mr. Redpath said.
The business development
committee deals with programs to assist existing businesses and recruit new businesses, Mr. Redpath said.
“That committee oversees
things like the website that
has a list of [vacant commercial] properties in town, and
what information we put out
to potential businesses that
may be considering Belmar,”
Mr. Redpath said.
“Anybody that is interested
in seeing the business areas
in Belmar prosper is welcome on our committees,”
Mr. Redpath said. “In some
towns that I’ve worked in, the

The SID’s 2012 budget will
total $175,000 — the same as
its 2011 budget. Of this,
$168,000 will come from a
tax paid by commercial
landowners in town and the
remaining $7,000 will come
from various sponsorships,
according
to
literature
attached to the SID’s email
newsletter.
Most
commercial
landowners opt to pass the
tax along to their tenants, so
usually, business owners in
town pay the fee.
The SID outlined its plans
for 2012 in the literature
accompanying last week’s
email. The budget is divided
into four sections — management and organization,
branding and marketing,
business development and
visual improvement.
The organization’s management and organization
plans in 2012 include supporting
the
seasonal
Shorelink Shuttle by providing financial support and
participating in planning and
management;
providing
meeting space and administrative support for programs;
and ensuring accountability
to the governing body and
stakeholders through the
budget process, annual
report and annual audit.
Staff costs and other
expenses that may be treated
as “overhead” are amortized,
or distributed, throughout
the budget as staff and
resources are involved in the
execution of so many programs, according to the SID
literature. Total management
expenses broken out from
other budget numbers are
$24,338.
The SID’s branding and
marketing plans for 2012
include the reinforcement of
a Belmar brand; spreading a
consistent marketing message efficiently; conducting
promotions to drive retail,
dining and lodging sales;
taking advantage of existing
events to optimize them for
business
development;
ensuring the targeting of
promotions; optimizing the
beach shuttle as a platform
for promoting retail sales
and dining; and developing
TV and film production
relationships.
Branding and marketing
expenses will total $39,888
of the budget.
Business
development
plans for 2012 include training Belmar businesses in
best practices in order to
improve their businesses;
fine tuning the parket by
analyzing the inventory of
businesses in town; encouraging investment in commercial real estate expansion through loan assistance
and grants; working with the
borough and county governments to encourage an optimum business atmosphere;
and establishing a parking
improvement strategy.
Business
development
expenses will total $52,887.
The SID’s visual improvement plans include ensuring
a welcoming and quality
appearance at entries to
town; providing a welcoming appearance in commercial areas; enhancing a walkable environment; wayfinding signs; encouraging
attractive appearance of
businesses; and supporting
seasonal promotions.
The total budgeted cost of
visual
improvement
is
$52,887.
In addition to the public
meeting of the SID on Jan.
10, residents and business
owners will be able to comment at the 2012 budget
hearing at the Jan. 18 council
meeting. This meeting is set
for 8 p.m. at borough hall on
Main Street.

HURRICANE IRENE
Snow was not the only
weather annoyance in 2011.
Hurricane Irene
blew
through the Shore area on
Aug. 26 and 27, bringing
winds up to 52 miles per hour
and four inches of rainfall in
the area.
Area residents were out of
power for days, with some
residents on Belmar’s northern end in the dark until the
early days of September.
Silver Lake and Lake Como
flooded their banks despite
having been pumped before,
during and after the storm,
and beaches were closed on
Saturday, Aug. 27 and Sunday,
Aug. 28.
Residents attended council
meetings to thank the borough and its DPW for their
handling of the storm afterward.
“I think we were well prepared,” said borough administrator Robbin Kirk. “We did
what we could before the
storm, and we were right into
post-hurricane mode on
Sunday getting out and
cleaning things up.”
Palmisano said, although the
officers involved “have
impeccable records.”
Later in the year, Belmar
was in the news due to
“Jersey Shore” once again.
In the fall, the borough
passed an amendment to its
ordinance governing filmmaking in town after “Jersey
Shore” filmed scenes in
Belmar’s Boat House Bar &
Grill over the summer.
Stars of the show were
seen drinking and dancing
on top of the bar.
“We had a situation this
past summer where there
was a filming at one of our
bars which, if we were asked
as a council — as we should
have been — the answer
would have absolutely been
no,” Mayor Doherty said at
the time.
MTV Networks did not
obtain permission to shoot
inside the liquor-licensed
establishment, as the ordinance dictated, but there
was no way for the borough
to penalize the Boathouse
for allowing the activity to
take place.
Mayor and council passed
an amendment to the ordinance allowing the town to
penalize alcoholic beverage
licensees for allowing filmmaking in their establishments without permission.
“This is not meant to curtail things like the Food
Network,” Mayor Doherty
said. “If we had a restaurant
that was going to be on the
Food Network, we would
encourage that. That would
be something very positive
for the town. We’re concerned with shows that may
show Belmar and its establishments in a more negative
light.”

Going green in Brielle not just a fad
for EcoMoms, school community
BY CAREN CATERINA
THE COAST STAR
Brielle moms don’t mind talking
trash when it comes to making
their local school green-friendly.
Brielle EcoMoms — an all-volunteer group comprised of dozens of
moms — have not only created a
profound recycling program at
Brielle Elementary School [BES],
but have raised awareness to students, staff and community at large.
Brielle EcoMoms, founded in
2009 by borough resident Andrea
Feldmann, began as a small group
of women who met in their homes
to exchange green strategies and
holistic ideas for fostering a healthy
environment at home and school.
“We’ve gotten the kids involved,”
said Mrs. Feldmann.
Mrs. Feldmann was inspired by
an organization she saw on the
news called EcoMom Alliance,
whose mission is ‘Sustain yourself,
Sustain your family, Sustain our
world.’
“I thought, ‘That would be great
if they had one in Brielle,’” said
Mrs. Feldmann. “I felt like there
was a need [for a group of] moms
thinking on the same wavelength as
you are.”
With support of superintendent
Christine Carlson and vice principal Marci Grabelle, the EcoMoms
have since grown and become an
integral part of BES as a Parent
Teacher Organization [PTO] committee.
“We have contributed greatly [to
BES] by spearheading environmental awareness of our community
and school organizations,” said Ms.
Feldmann.
EcoMom leaders also include
Brielle residents Andrea Schuett,
Anne Nissim, Davie Johnson, Betsy
Tracy, Lorene Colon and Ellen
Visceglia.
“As a mom, it starts here,” said
Mrs. Colon. “We are definitely making an impact on the garbage and
making the kids aware.”
From classrooms to the cafeteria,
the EcoMoms have raised significant awareness among students,
staff and parents about the importance of recycling and reusing.
Mrs. Carlson said she is proud of
EcoMoms for making the school
more environmentally-friendly.
“We have gone from almost 30
garbage bags a day to eight or nine
bags,” said Mrs. Carlson. “Our bags
are large, large bags.”
“We throw away very little —
everything is recycled,” she said.
In the cafeteria, students empty
liquids into a bucket prior to disposing their containers to save
space in the garbage.
“When the moms are working [in
the cafeteria], we make sure the
kids know and understand what to
do. They know the routine now,”
said Mrs. Feldmann. “They are very
eager.”
In addition to traditional recycling, EcoMoms instituted a
TerraCycle program, where they
set up buckets daily to collect items
— juice pouches, cookie wrappers,
chip bags, candy wrappers and
lunchable containers — for upcycling, or making products out of

collected waste.
The green company TerraCycle
— founded in 2002 and headquartered in Trenton — eliminates
waste by creating national recycling systems for previously nonrecyclable or hard-to-recycle waste.
TerraCycle, in turn, gives the
school dollars for the recycled
goods.
A successful TerraCycle program
run at Allenwood School, in Wall,
inspired the EcoMoms to bring the
program to BES. Karen Gunthner,
of Allenwood School, mentored the
EcoMoms — showing them how it
worked in their cafeteria as well as
shipment procedures.
The EcoMoms also provide each
homeroom with two buckets to collect TerraCycle items from snacks,
class parties, and home.
In a recent Halloween candy
wrapper contest, EcoMoms asked
classrooms to participate by collecting empty candy wrappers.
Trish Emerson’s eighth grade
class won first prize with 1,888
wrappers. Renee Heyniger’s first
grade class came in second place
with 1,183 wrappers. Students were
awarded with a zipper pouch made
of upcycled juice pouches.
Pam Norman, who teaches integrated curriculum at BES, said
EcoMoms presented a TerraCycle
workshop to her seventh graders.
“Everything they presented was
done with such enthusiasm,” she
said “It was infectious and inspiring
for the kids.”
The students formed a group
they named Seventh Star which
helps EcoMoms with TerraCycling
in the cafeteria and in school. Their
most recent collections have been
Elmer Glue containers.
“The mission of the students was
to raise other students’ awareness
— so others would recycle,” said
Ms. Norman.
“I think the connection with the
adults has been the secret of success for us,” added Ms. Norman.
“There is an authentic connection
between the moms and the kids …
the kids see they can be a real help.”
“I think their [EcoMoms] example of commitment to changing
how we treat our environment will
have an impact on our larger community,” she said. “It becomes the
way we do things in Brielle.”
School staff, such as custodians
Dave
Newman
and
Jorge
Echeverria, have helped make recycling a success, said Mrs. Feldmann,
as well as parents who come to the
cafeteria daily and assist children
with recycling and sorting items.
Mrs. Colon said EcoMoms have
been “so lucky” to have received
such positive support.
“Everyone is excited and enthusiastic,” said Mrs. Colon.
“It does add up,” said Mrs. Colon,
of items collected for TerraCycle.
“It is an incredible incentive and
helps us run the program. And, it is
teaching children not only to recycle, but to upcycle products.”
“It is all about education and
changing our ways,” said Mrs.
Feldmann. “Educate the parents …
educate the kids.”
“If they change one thing, it is a
good thing,” she said.
Recycling
advocate
Councilwoman Ann Scott called
the EcoMoms “an energized force.”
“They are so dedicated to
increasing recycling and looking at
the environment from many
angles,” said Councilwoman Scott.
“They have really gotten the
school program at a much higher
level,” she said. “They are collecting more materials and seeing
every classroom has containers.
Councilwoman Scott said she
and Brielle’s recycling coordinator
Bill Burkhardt had visited BES to
see how the system worked and
“left very encouraged.”
“The word is out there and
spreading and is contagious,” she
said. “They are such a vital group
— they are doers.”
“It goes beyond just the collection of materials at the school,” said
Councilwoman Scott. “I think they
are raising the bar at home.”
“It is hard for parents not to get
on board when the little girl tells
Daddy, ‘We need to save energy,’”
added Councilwoman Scott.
EcoMoms have contributed so
much more to BES than could have
been imagined — including plant
sales, Earth Day awareness, and
researching ways to reduce paper
waste, and assisting the school in
communicating more via emails
and the Internet.
EcoMoms also helped with a collection and distribution of recycled
playground equipment for each
grade level in the school, thanks to
Brielle families.
“We collected used playground
equipment from students’ homes,”
said Ms. Shchuett, including balls,
frisbees, hula hoops and jump
ropes. Each grade level, she said,
has received their own bag of items
to be used at recess.
Other goals include replacing
styrofoam in the cafeteria and
encouraging local businesses to
eliminate use of styrofoam, plastic
containers, and plastic bags.
EcoMoms have also been helping
reduce carbon footprints by teaching students to remove caps from
water bottles, which are sent to
Aveda for recycling, as well as recycle bottles and cans. The women
also collect ink cartridges and glue
containers and sticks schoolwide
for recycling.
The EcoMoms’ hope to enhance
BES in environmentally-conscious
ways, through utilizing their funds
and applying for grants. The
EcoMoms also hope to continue
nurturing students’ environmentally-conscious minds and provide
them with the healthiest environments possible at school and home.
EcoMom meetings are held once
a month in the school library. All
are welcome.
“We believe a mother is such an
important role model in a child’s
life. Mothers can help propel an
environmentally-vibrant
and
healthy future,” said Ms. Feldmann.
“We invite moms to share, teach
and learn from one another.
Lifestyle changes begin with one
step!”

RESIDENT SINCERELY THANKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
TEACHER FOR KIND GESTURE
I want to express my sincerest gratitude
to Ms. Teri Trumpbour, Manasquan
Elementary School Art teacher. Last
month, my seven-year old son proudly
informed me that he was working on an
art project that was going to be my
Christmas gift. The project was misplaced
and I could see the disappointment in my
son's eyes. Ms. Trumpbour called and
assured me that she would get the project
to me before Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, Ms. Trumpbour took
the time away from her own family to
deliver the present. The look on my son's
face was priceless when he handed me the
gift, which was a beautiful ceramic tile
with his picture on it. This small gesture
of kindness meant so much to my family.
Both of my children speak highly of Ms.
Trumpbour and have learned so much
from her. Manasquan Elementary School
is lucky to have such as caring and dedicated teacher!

As a long time resident of Wall, let me
say congratulations to the Wall Township
Police Department for the quick and efficient job they did in the apprehension of
the individuals involved in the recent
crimes committed in our town.
From the horrorific murder of little
Tiera Morgan, the assault on David Ivins
and the series of burglaries, our police

Hopefully, the Prosecutors, and Judges
will do as good a job putting these
“alleged” criminals away for as long as is
allowed.

MBIA SUPPORTS REPLACING GLIMMER GLASS BRIDGE
The Manasquan Beach Improvement
Association (MBIA) is a 90-year-old
organization with almost 300 members.
The MBIA is concerned about both the
history of the Glimmer Glass Bridge and
the safety of those who use it. For this reason the MBIA Board of Trustees, after
reviewing extensive data compiled by the
MBIA Bridge Committee, voted on behalf
of the MBIA organization to publicly support the replacement bridge option put
forth by the Monmouth County
Engineering Department.
In the course of researching the bridge,
it was learned that most of the physical
structure of the bridge has been replaced

Engineering Department should be
applauded for going out of its way to create a bridge utilizing the same historic

Anyone who drives over the present
bridge must feel the pinch as the bridge
narrows approaching the drawspan. This
tightness is exacerbated when a vehicle is
coming in the opposite direction. Existing
road signs direct drivers to "share the

AARP SUPPORTS ALTERNATIVE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS REFORM BILL
AARP commends West Milford
Township for supporting the alternative
telecommunications reform bill. S 3062
was developed to address shortcomings in
the “Market Competition and Consumer
Choice Act,” or S2664.
While both bills would remove regulations said to be unnecessary to competition in the telecommunications industry, S
3062 is consumer-friendly. The West
Milford Township Council claims S 2664 is
too severe, and we agree.
Under S 2664, companies would no
longer be required to provide publicaccess channels or customer credits for
extended outages and billing errors. This
bill also contains no measure to guarantee
a reduced-rate landline service for qualified customers.
S 3062, on the other hand, allows business-friendly deregulations in favor of
maintaining municipal benefits and consumer protections. In particular, S 3062
requires telecom companies to maintain
landlines damaged by extreme weather—
something we have all seen our fair share
of in light of recent storms — and provide
low- and fixed-income customers with
affordable landline service.
We hope other towns across the state
will join West Milford in support of the
alternative S 3062 telecommunications
reform bill. The bill is sponsored by state
senators Bob Smith [D-17] and Ronald
Rice [D-28].
Along with AARP, it is also supported
by the New Jersey State League of
Municipalities and NJ Citizen Action.

Innovation NJ applauds the recent steps

policies that promote greater collaboration

Governor Chris Christie’s “Strategic Job

In November, the EDA Board of

the EDA changed its scoring criteria utilized in determining the grant award under

Prior to the EDA’s recent action, a company was given a 10 percent bonus if they
were “within 5 miles of and working cooperatively with a public or non-profit university on research and development.” In
order to more effectively promote collaboration between the private sector and New

the EDA removed the language requiring

TELECOM BILL OF RIGHTS FOR NEW JERSEY ECONOMY freely compete for consumer business.
The market for communications products
and services is dramatically different today
than it was even five years ago. Dramatic
growth and demand for wireless and
Internet technologies have reshaped how
we communicate. However, government
rules regulating telephone providers have
not changed in decades. These outdated
rules should be modernized to encourage
investment, job growth and innovation.
Our elected officials are considering legislation that can remedy this problem. S.
2664, the Market Competition and
Consumer Choice Act, will reform how
New Jersey regulates phone and cable
providers and update the law for the 21st
century. The bill is one very important
step lawmakers can take to improve the
business climate in New Jersey as we enter
2012.
Earlier this year, the legislation passed
the State Assembly with strong bi-partisan
support on a vote of 66 to 7. The Senate
has been considering the bill for quite
some time and it is important that they follow suit and pass this important reform
before adjournment.
Legislators only have one voting session
day left on the calendar. Opponents’
issues have been addressed with assurances that their concerns will be mitigated.
The proposed bill would simply allow
telecommunications companies to compete more effectively and be responsive to
consumers instead of to the Board of
Public Utilities.
Passage of regulatory reform would also
be a welcome signal to companies around
the country that New Jersey is open for
business. That’s good news for everyone
on both sides of the aisle, and certainly for
New Jersey’s business community. A bill
very similar to this one was passed in
Indiana in 2006. Consumers in that state
were not only protected, as they will be in
New Jersey, but within one year, telecommunications companies invested an additional $400 million to build infrastructure
and create jobs in that state.
With the clock ticking, it is time to get
down to business and enact S. 2664. Let’s
kick off the New Year right by making
long-needed improvements that will
enhance the business climate, attract more
good paying jobs and keep New Jersey
businesses and consumers connected with
innovative products and services – all of
which will continue the momentum of the
Christie administration’s “business friendly” campaign.

FEDERAL AGENCY SUPPORTS MEDICAID TECHNIQUE
Legally
Speaking
By JOHN CALLINAN
A common technique to obtain eligibility for Medicaid benefits just received a strong vote
of approval from the federal agency charged with administering the Medicaid program. The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (commonly referred to as “CMS”) administers
the Medicaid program. In a pending federal case, CMS submitted a legal brief that wholly
endorses the purchase of certain, properly-structured annuities to generate income for the
non-ill spouse.
Individuals frequently consult with me when a family member has entered a nursing
home, and they are told that the nursing home will cost $10,000 a month. For instance, a
wife will consult with me because her husband just entered a nursing home. At $120,000 a
year, the wife worries that she will be impoverished if she has to continue to pay for her husband’s care.
Most of the elderly wife’s whom I see have less fixed monthly income than their husband.
The wife might receive a monthly Social Security check of $800 while the husband might
receive a Social Security check of $1,800 and a pension check of $2,500. The wife worries
that she will be unable to live if she has to spend most of the couple’s assets before her husband qualifies for Medicaid benefits.
Let’s assume that the couple owns a house, a car, and cash of approximately $200,000.
The basic rules governing Medicaid eligibility permit the wife to retain the house, the car,
and $100,000 of the $200,000 in cash. The wife must “spend down” the other $100,000 in
cash before the husband will qualify for Medicaid.
In 2006, the laws governing the Medicaid program were changed. In part, the changes
addressed the purchase of annuities. An annuity is an investment product that is typically
sold by an insurance company. An annuity pays back the owner the principal she invested
plus interest over a fixed period of time.
The 2006 change to the Medicaid Act addresses whether or not the purchase of an annuity is an uncompensated transfer of an asset. Uncompensated transfers result in periods of
ineligibility for Medicaid benefits. If the wife’s purchase of an annuity meets the criteria
outlined in the Medicaid Act, her purchase of the annuity will not be treated as an uncompensated transfer and will not result in a period of ineligibility for Medicaid.
But not being an uncompensated transfer is only half the battle. The State, which does not
like to award Medicaid benefits to any individual it determines to be undeserving of such
benefits, has claimed for years that an annuity is an asset that has value, so if the wife purchases an annuity for $100,000, according to the State, her husband still cannot qualify for
Medicaid because she owns an asset, the annuity, worth $100,000 and she still owns the
$100,000 in cash.
For years, the State has lost this argument in the federal courts. (The State once won a
case in state court, sort of, so it has been encouraged that things will go its way if it keeps
trying in federal court.) Federal courts have consistently stated that annuities are income
items, not assets, and since the wife’s income does not affect her husband’s eligibility for
Medicaid benefits, the wife’s annuity does not affect the husband’s eligibility for Medicaid.
Recently, CMS has taken the position before a federal court in Connecticut that fully supports this fact. Annuities are income for purposes of Medicaid eligibility, not assets.
This is very important, because the wife in my hypothetical can purchase an annuity for
$100,000 and obtain Medicaid benefits for he husband immediately. The annuity must be
structured correctly, which is not an easy task, but if done right, the purchase of an annuity
can be a very valuable technique to preserve income for the wife who will continue to live
at home and may continue to live long after her husband passes away.

WAVES OF WINTER HIT THE BEACHES OF BELMAR
Rough seas made for big waves off the coast of Belmar yesterday morning. Despite the brisk air,
some residents opted to take a morning stroll along the beach.
Grief is a universal experience, but it touches lives in
personal and provocative
ways. No loss is the same, nor
is one's grief process. People
are moved by many kinds of
changes in life. However,
some losses are more challenging than others.
Anticipated deaths, tragic
deaths, miscarriages, suicide,
divorce, natural disasters,
terrorism, job loss, retirement, pet loss and fires are
among endings that initiate
grief. Because grief prompts
responses that no other
experience in life can provoke, getting information,
education and support are
essential aids to cope with
responses and to move
through a season of grief and
find hope.
The
Holy
Trinity
Evangelical
Lutheran
Church,
located
in
Manasquan, will host a sixweek Christian-based series
on loss and grief beginning
Jan. 12 and running through
Feb. 16.
“A Season of Loss:
Learning About Grief” will
be held on six-consecutive
Thursday evenings from 7 8:30 p.m. with speaker,

UPLIFTING MESSAGE
While breast-augmentation surgery involves
increasing the size and shape of a woman’s
breasts, a “breast lift” (mastopexy) addresses loose
or sagging breasts resulting from pregnancy,
weight loss, or the natural aging process. The procedure is designed to elevate and reshape the
breast. This is accomplished with a frequently used
technique that involves incisions on both sides of
the breast and around the areola (the pigmented
area around the nipple). A keyhole-shaped incision
is then made directly above the nipple. After excess
skin is removed from the lower portion of the
breast, the nipple, areola, and underlying tissue are
then repositioned higher. Then, the skin from both
sides of the nipple is brought down and sutured
together to reshape the breast.
The general rule of thumb is that, the greater
the degree of sagging, the more extensive the surgery has to be to correct the problem. If you plan to
have children in the future you may want to postpone cosmetic breast surgery until after pregnancy and after you are done breast feeding. To
schedule a consultation for a breast lift, please
call SEA SHORE PLASTIC AND HAND
SURGERY CENTER.
P.S. Women who want smaller breasts should
consider combining a breast lift and reduction
surgery.

BUSINESS PROFILE
Idiosyncrazies brings Beach a stylish sense of responsibility
BY COLLEEN KING
“Then I thought I’d put
‘crazy’ in there because I’ve
got to be crazy to open a business in this economy,” Ms.
Murphy said.
THE COAST STAR
The
focal
point
of
Idiosyncrazies, a gallery and
gift shop on Arnold Avenue
in Point Pleasant Beach, is
undoubtedly the chair that
sits right near the cash register, covered in beautiful,
bright, multi-colored duct
tape.
The chair, made by owner
Sharon Murphy’s grown
daughter, Caitlin, of Howell,
is indicative of every product
Idiosyncrazies carries —
products with a story, a style
and a sense of responsibility.
Idiosyncrazies originally
opened its doors in May 2010,
on Bay Avenue in Point
Pleasant Beach.
Ms. Murphy, who resides in
Brick and also has a son,
Sean, of Chicago, looked
around Point Pleasant Beach
and saw an available store
with added space at 638
Arnold Ave. So, in August
2011, Idiosyncrazies made a
tiny move around the corner
that made a huge difference.
“We wanted to move here
because of the space — it’s
bigger — and because of
downtown and how it’s been
building up lately,” Ms.
Murphy said of the rise of
businesses and eateries located in downtown Point Beach
in the recent months.
THREE KEYS TO SUCCESS
When developing the idea
for
Idiosyncrazies,
Ms.
Murphy knew she wanted to
focus the business on three
things — New Jersey artists
and artisans, fair trade, and
recycled or upcycled products.
Ms. Murphy said many of
her friends who are local
artists said it was very hard to
find a place to display their
work, and she wanted her
store to be a haven for them.
Fair trade products became
integrated into her business
plan from her previous life
B
WHAT YOU’LL FIND
Supporting local artists is
part of Idiosyncrazies core
philosophy and Ms. Murphy
wouldn’t have it any other
way.
“New Jersey has a lot of talent. It’s such a thrill to see
unique [pieces],” said Ms.
Murphy. “You don’t have to
go far to find good art.”
Almost all of the jewelry in
her store is crafted by New
Jersey artists.
Some of her favorite prod-
ucts are chainsaw-carved
bear sculptures, created by an
artist out of the Pinelands.
Ms. Murphy also hosts
trunk shows for local artists,
about once a month.
At any time Idiosyncrazies
is filled with local paintings
from artists, scarves knitted
in Point Beach, jewelry made
of Jersey Shore sea glass, fair
trade wallets and purses, photography, painting, and much
more to be discovered.
Idiosyncrazies, which can
be reached at 732-746-3492, is
open
Tuesday
through
Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m.; Friday and Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and
Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
JOSEPH J. DELCONZO THE COAST STAR
Sharon Murphy, owner of Idiosyncrazies, located at 638 Arnold Ave., is committed to bringing the
downtown area unique, personal treasures that are local, fair trade, or recycled.
when she was working in the
publishing
industry
in
Philadelphia.
“I stumbled upon a Ten
Thousand Villages shop and I
liked the whole fair trade
product [idea] and the meaning behind it. I wanted to
incorporate that into what I
sell here,” said Ms. Murphy.
“It empowers so many people
that don’t otherwise have a
chance to make an honest living.”
Ten Thousand Villages'
mission is to create opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income
by bringing their products
and stories to American markets through long-term, fair
trading relationships, according
to
tenthousandvillages.com.
“The quality is amazing. If
you look at some of the things
— it’s beautiful,” Ms. Murphy
said.
Incorporating recycled and
upcycled materials and products into her store was cru-
cial, as well.
“[These products] have
something that’s recycled,”
Ms. Murphy said, pointing to
a floor mat made of recycled
potato chip bags. “But it’s
beautiful. It’s important to
feel good about what you’re
selling.”
TAKING THE FIRST STEP
The encouragement of
family and friends was key to
Ms. Murphy taking the leap
and opening up a business
during a time when, economically, things were tough.
“[My family and friends]
said, ‘Come on, you can do it,’
but it’s a scary step,” Ms.
Murphy said. “But once I
committed myself to it,
everything fell into place. I
love coming to work every
day. I love the customers,
people, vendors, neighbors —
who can ask for more?”
Ms. Murphy’s business
partner, Margarita Perez, of
Brick, helps keep everything
on track financially while Ms.
Murphy focuses on the art
and products.
Idiosyncrazies is in Point
Beach for the long haul, Ms.
Murphy said.
“Point Beach has really
changed and I’m excited to
see those changes,” Ms.
Murphy said.
Employee Laurie Clayton,
of Point Beach, said that
working at Idiosyncrazies has
been nothing but positive.
“Sharon is wonderful and
flexible — this is a great place
to work,” said Ms. Clayton.
THE NAME
Deciding
to
open
Idiosyncrazies was easier
than picking the name.
“I was looking for a name
and ‘unique’ and ‘different’
are so overused. So, I opened
the thesaurus and started typing in words to see what I
could come up with,” Ms.
Murphy said. “‘Idiosyncrasy’
came up – which basically
means peculiar and I liked
that.

POINT PLEASANT — In what
has now become an annual
tradition, the Stephens family, of Gerard’s Wine &
Spirits on Bridge Avenue, is
getting the wine bottles in
order for the upcoming
fundraiser to benefit the
Carmie Brady Foundation.
The foundation, named in
honor of the former Point
Pleasant resident who lost
her battle with cancer in
May 2004, was started by
Mrs.
Brady’s
husband,
Chuck, and their three sons,
Matt, Scott and Pat.
The Bradys, along with
help from several residents,
including Sandy Leibfried
and Dan DiCorcia, started
the
Carmie
Brady
Foundation soon after Mrs.
Brady’s death.
Unlike most charitable
organizations, all money
raised is distributed to families of sick children in southern Monmouth and northern
Ocean counties. The foundation is registered as a 501[c]3
non-profit, charitable organization.
All contributions, both
monetary and physical, are
tax deductible.
The upcoming fundraiser
will take place from 7 to 11
p.m. on Jan. 28 at the Crystal
Point Yacht Club, at 3900
River Road in Point Pleasant.
Joe Stephens Jr. said the
first wine tasting at Crystal
Point Yacht Club, held in
January 2010, sold 400 tickets
— and he has already sold
more than 300 of the 500
available for this month’s
event.
He said he added more
vendors this year’s event and
they will be on hand to
inform attendees about the
products.
Special this year will be a
table devoted to whiskey,
with someone from Scotland
doing a presentation about
the product.
Mr. Stephens said the number of beer tables will also be
increased this year, with five
or six expected, as opposed
to the two vendors who set
up for the last fundraiser.
He said there will be a
wide variety of micro brews.
With around 100 more
people expected to attend
this year, Mr. Stephens said
he expects even more money
to be raised for the Carmie
Brady Foundation.
Last year, the event raised
more than $16,000 for the
foundation.
Mr. Stephens said he and
his family approached the
Bradys in 2010 about holding
a wine-tasting fundraiser,
and the Brady family loved
the idea.
The Jan. 28 event will feature more than 300 wines,
beers and spirits.
There will be high-end
wines, craft beers and spirits,
and there will be a focus on
esoteric beverages so attendees have the opportunity to
try something they normally
would not buy in a store.
Tickets for this year’s
event can be purchased at
Gerard’s everyday between 9
a.m. and 10 p.m. For more
information, call the store at
732-892-6161.
All attendees are encouraged to bring cash with them
to the event, as there will be
a silent auction featuring
prizes such as refrigerators,
bottles of wine and bikes.
In June 2008, the foundation held its first fundraising
event, a gift auction at Bar
Anticipation in Lake Como,
which netted close to
$40,000. Mrs. Brady’s family
and friends have continued
to host the event each year,
with the most recent taking
place earlier this year at
Jenkinson’s in Point Beach.
In addition, the Carmie
Brady Foundation organizes
a team to walk in the
American Cancer Society’s
[ACS] Walk for the Cure
event every year — an effort
that has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the ACS’s
Hope Lodge in New York
City, where family members
can stay while their loved
one is being treated for cancer.
Mrs. Brady first started to
participate in the ACS walk
when she was 35, and diagnosed with inflammatory
breast cancer.
Her family continued the
effort, adding the Hope
Lodge fundraiser effort to the
walk. The “Brady Bunch”
now consists of about 400
people annually and has
raised $100,000 for the Hope
Lodge, making good on a
promise made in 2007 to
donate that amount.
Mr. Brady said he wanted
to help families through the
Hope Lodge because he often
traveled to New York City
from Point Pleasant while his
wife was being treated and
therefore understood, firsthand, the extra burden such a
commute takes on family
members.
Along with her full-time
job as a mother and her work
with the cancer walk, Mrs.
Brady worked to make others’ lives better. She went
back to school in her 40s to
earn a master’s degree in
mental health counseling
from Rutgers University.

Squan wins WOBM Warriors top Boro
title versus Jackson for division control

THE COAST STAR
TOMS RIVER — You usually do not want to
get into an outside shooting contest with the
Manasquan girls basketball team.
The Warriors have several players who
can hit from long range, but Jackson
Memorial was ready to go toe-to-toe with
Manasquan from the outside in the WOBM
Tournament final on Friday.
It was the Jaguars who had the hot hand
from long range early, but when Manasquan
realized it could dominate going inside
before thinking about 3-pointers, everything
started to click for the Warriors.
Manasquan was a lot more assertive in
getting to the basket during the second half
and pulled away from the Jaguars to earn a
60-50 victory and its first WOBM
Championship.
The Warriors seemed to settle for some
long-range shooting in the first half, while
Jackson Memorial, and Hannah Missery in
particular, were finding their range.
The Jaguars took a 26-23 lead into the half
with Manasquan missing on eight attempts
beyond the arc.
“We were relying too much on the outside
shot,’’ said Manasquan coach Felix Romero,
of the first half. “We gave up a couple of
shots as well.’’

—
The
Manasquan girls basketball
team picked up a 79-67 home
win over C Central rival
Point Pleasant Borough on
Tuesday night, but a lesson
learned in the fourth quarter
may have been the group’s
most important victory of
the evening.
After playing a solid three
quarters of basketball, the
Warriors entered the fourth
up, 47-32, on Point Pleasant
Borough. Manasquan was
able to extend its lead to as
much as 29 midway through
the final quarter, but overly
aggressive play would allow
the Panthers to pull all the
way back to within 10 with
just under three minutes left
to play in the game.
“We got real impatient,”
said Manasquan head coach
Felix Romero. “We gambled.
We got some reach in fouls,
and we allowed them to stop
the clock and get on the line
for some points.”
Despite letting Point
Pleasant Borough breathe
perhaps a little too long, the
Warriors would maintain
their lead to move to a perfect 8-0 [2-0 in the C Central]
on the season.
Following the game, both
Manasquan players and
coaches were happy to earn a
victory over the rival
Panthers, who they will battle for a division title this season — but the fourth quarter
left the group feeling bittersweet.
“We were acting like we
were down, gambling and
doing things we shouldn’t
have been doing,” said senior
Michaela Mabrey, who led
the Warriors with a gamehigh 28 points. “That was not
a good thing for us to do. We

The victory marked the

“It feels great,’’ said St.
Rose coach Pete O’Neill. “I

THE LIGHT THAT TREATS
ALL SKIN CARE NEEDS
Flaherty a natural for Manasquan
A new technology can now treat unsightly leg veins,
unwanted hair, sun damage, and the signs of aging.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) uses controlled flashes of
light to resolve these imperfections with no down
time, right in the office.
When she is on the court
playing for the Warriors, it
sometimes appears that
Manasquan
sophomore
Katelynn Flaherty was born
with a basketball in her
hands.
Flaherty’s playing career
may not go back that far,
but her basketball journey
did begin at an early age
after being introduced to
the game by her father,
Tom.
During his own playing
days, Tom Flaherty, like his
daughter, possessed an
uncanny ability to put the
ball in the net.
“My dad influenced me.
He almost made the NBA
and he played for Seton
Hall,” said Flaherty of her
father, who is also an assis-
tant coach with the
Warriors. “I remember
when I was 3 or 4, he
coached a team and I was
always in the gym on the
side shooting and practicing for hours.”
All those hours of practice have certainly paid off
for the sophomore, who, in
just two years, has established herself as one of the
top scorers in the state.
This season, Flaherty
scored a career-high 35
points in a win over North
Brunswick and was recently named to the all-tournament first team at the
WOBM Christmas Classic
for her contribution to
Manasquan’s championship
run.
Flaherty has enjoyed her
accomplishments over the
past two seasons, but is not
letting the success take
away from her strong work
ethic.
“I use the accomplishments for confidence but I
know I can’t let them get to
my head,” Flaherty said. “I

and get better.”
When she graduates,
there will likely be many
Division I programs vying
for her services, but
Flaherty will be patient in
her decision. “I don’t want
want to rush it,” she said.
Right now, Flaherty is
enjoying her life as a high
school
student
at
Manasquan. Her favorite
subject is science, and
when she is not hitting the
books or scoring buckets on
the court, Flaherty enjoys
hanging out with her
friends and going to the
beach in the summer.

PURPLE ROSES 8 ICE HOCKEY COLONIALS 1
Purple Roses new lineup makes
impressive debut vs. Freehold
St. Rose shows off its
depth in a dominant win
over Freehold Boro
BY LEN BARDSLEY
THE COAST STAR
WALL — St. Rose ice hockey
coach Pete O’Neill has been
waiting for seven years for
the Purple Roses to have four
forward lines.
You can understand, then,
O’Neill’s excitement over
having the depth to use a
total of 12 forwards against
Freehold
Borough
on
Tuesday at Jersey Shore
Arena.
St. Rose’s new depth was
on display against the
Colonials as the Purple Roses
cruised to a 8-1 victory over
Freehold Borough.
The victory was a milestone win on several levels
for the St. Rose program.
It not only marked the first
time the Purple Roses used
four forward lines in a game,
but also the 100th goal of senior Billy Regan’s career [see
related story].
The win was also the tenth
of the season for St. Rose,
tying a program-high mark
set last season.
The St. Rose lineup was
bolstered by the addition of
three players who finished

four forward lines the entire
game, something he never
had the luxury of doing in the
past.
St. Rose had been a twoline team every year until
this season, something that
wore down his forwards later
in the game.
“We rolled four lines all
night long,’’ said O’Neill. “We
did not waver. It was a first.’’
The Purple Roses got scoring from three out of its four
lines.
Christian Phipps, skating
with Billy Regan and Pat
McKerry, got things started.
Phipps scored four minutes into the game to give St.
Rose a 1-0 lead.
He struck again midway
through the first period off

BOWLING NOTEBOOK
Manasquan girls & boys
sweep Crimson Knights
BY LEN BARDSLEY
THE COAST STAR
The Manasquan girls and
boys bowling teams swept
rival Wall to start the second
half of the regular season on
Monday.
The Warrior girls got off to
a slow start against Wall,
before putting together one
of their top efforts of the season in the third and final
game.
Manasquan bowled a 745 in
the first game, a 727 in the
second game and a 857 in the
third game to sweep the
Crimson Knights.
Wall kept it close the first
game, falling by 50 pints.
“We got off to a slow start,’’
said Manasquan coach Tom
Glenn. “I could tell coming
back from the holiday following New Year’s Eve. We did
struggle a little bit the first
two games, we bowled below
average.’’
Glenn felt his team did
close strong in the first and
second games, bowling its
best in the eighth-, ninth- and
10th-frames to ensure the
Crimson Knights would not
upset the division-leading
Warriors.
“We closed out and they
didn’t,’’ said Glenn.
Bryce Petraccoro had the
high game for Manasquan
with a 217 and the high series
with a 595.
Kylie Stark put together
her first 500 series of the season with a 506.
“Stark had a very good
day,’’ said Glenn. “She is a
slow starter, but hits her
groove in the midseason. She
has been bowling very well
for us.’’
Stark is now the fourth
Manasquan bowler to have a
500-point series this season,
along
with
Petraccoro,
Brielle Gilly and Georgiana
Honrath.
Glenn was also pleased
with Gilly, who struggled in
the first game, but came back
to put together an excellent
third game, bowling a 185.
Glenn was also pleased
with Devon Lander coming
back after a tough first game.
“I was really proud of
Brielle and Devon,’’ said
Glenn. “They came in and
bowled really well for us.’’
The Manasquan boys put
together one of its best
matches of the season to
sweep the Crimson Knights.
The Warriors are now in
solid control of second place
in the division, behind
Ocean, but well ahead of the
Crimson Knights.
Manasquan will bowl
against
Point
Pleasant
Borough today and face
Neptune on Monday.
Wall has a match against
Asbury Park today before

his first varsity goal in his
first varsity game early in the
second period to give St.
Rose a 4-0 lead.
It was the second line of
Ian McGirr, J.P O’Malley and
Aikins who got into the scoring act during the second
period.
The Purple Rose second
line, which consisted of
McGirr,
O’Malley
and
McKerry for the first month
of the season, was one of the
top-scoring lines for St. Rose.
Aikins, a 6-foot-5 transfer
from Blair Academy, took the
place of McKerry.
McGirr scored off assists
from Aikins and Donald
Duddy late in the second
period.
Duddy, who made up the
defensive unit with J.P.
Regan, Haggerty, Shawn
Horenburg and Luke Mazur,
was thrilled to see the St.
Rose depth in action against
Freehold Borough.
“It is amazing,’’ said Duddy.
“As a freshman I thought it
would never happen. It is a
lot easier on us, too.’’
There was no doubt the
Purple Roses were not only
anxious to see their full team
on the ice, but wanted to
maintain the momentum
gained from winning the
Hamilton
Holiday
Tournament [see related
story].
“It was a confidence
boost,’’ said Duddy, of winning the tournament. “That
was our first goal of the season. We wanted to get that
done. Now we have everyone
back we feel we have the
strength to go on.’’
Billy Regan scored his historic goal early in the third
period.
J.P. O’Malley added a goal
off a McGirr assist before the
Colonials broke the St. Rose
shutout.
Ray McGirr and Andrew
Terracciano split time in goal
for the Purple Roses. The
two goalies combined for 17
saves, with Michael Carroll
scoring the only goal for the
Colonials off a scramble in
front of the goal with three
minutes left in the third period.
J.P. Regan closed out the
scoring for the Purple Roses
in the win.
O’Neill enjoyed the solid
team victory.
“It was a good, clean
game,’’ said O’Neill. “I think it
was the first time we had a
penalty kill when Christian
Phipps wasn’t in the box and
didn’t touch the ice. We just
kept going with four lines
even through penalties. That
is what we can do now. I
think as we play more together as a team it will help us.’’

for the team to score its first
goal.
The Purple Roses scored
46 goals as a team the season
before Regan arrived.
“That is about both
things,’’ said O’Neill, of the
100 goals being a highlight
for the program and for
Regan. “It is more about Billy.
We have watched Billy go to
the net, score from his knees,
score spinning. Billy Regan
works hard and deserves
that. I think it is monumental
for him and for the program.
I think Billy Regan did all the
work to make that happen.’’
It was ironic Regan scored
his 100th goal in a game that
saw the Purple Roses use
four forward lines for the
first time.
The majority of Regan’s
career, St. Rose only used six
forwards, giving Regan a
huge amount of ice time.
O’Neill admits the 100-goal
mark could be tough to reach
if the Purple Rose program
continues to move forward
and has the depth to use
three or four lines instead of
leaning on only a couple of
players to do the bulk of the
scoring.
“It could be a hard number
to get for anyone else unless
they come in as a phenom
freshman,’’ said O’Neill.
“That is a huge number —
you are talking about 25 goals
a year for four years. He
might be the first and the
last.’’
Regan is proud to be the
first and hopes another player can follow in his footsteps.
“It feels good knowing I
was the first one,’’ said
Regan. “It will be hard for
someone to do it again, but I
hope someone does it again.’’
WALL — St. Rose forward
Billy Regan became the first
player in Purple Rose history
to score 100 career goals,
pushing a loose puck past
Freehold Borough goalie
Cody Reilly with 9:05 left in
the third period on Tuesday,
in an eventual 8-1 St. Rose
victory.
Regan, a senior, went into
the game with 99 goals and
was anxious to reach the
mark.
“It is a great feeling,’’ said
Regan. “It is not just me, but
the whole team, starting with
the seniors and everyone
who helped me get to it. It
was more of a team goal.’’
It seemed fitting fellow
senior forward Christian
Phipps assisted on the goal.
Regan and Phipps have
done the bulk of the scoring
for the Purple Roses over the
past three seasons.
“We just kept shooting and
it popped out, and it happened to land on my stick
and I put it home,’’ said
Regan.
Regan was mobbed by his
teammates after the goal and
the game was stopped for a
few moments while Regan
was awarded a plaque from
head coach Peter O’Neill.
Regan scored 36 goals as a
freshman, 20 as a sophomore
and 32 last season.
As a freshman, being able
to score 100 career goals
never came into his mind,
despite an excellent start to
his high school career.
“I didn’t really think about
it,’’ said Regan. “I had a great
season, but it never crossed
my mind I could get to 100.’’

ic director Ron Kornegay for
getting Manasquan into the
WOBM Tournament in Toms
River this season.
It was an easy trip to the
Pine Belt Arena and I had the
privilege of catching the
Warriors twice between
hockey games last week.
You could feel the buzz
around the Manasquan program and it is not surprising
the community is coming out
to catch the Warriors on the
court.
The town of Manasquan
always appreciates a good
team, from football to basketball, and the high school
sports fan won’t hesitate to
come out and watch a good
effort.
I heard several people
comment during the WOBM
that the Warriors are a fun
team to watch.
They push the pace, making high-risk, high reward
passes, and play aggressive
in-your-face defense.
It all leads to points, and
Manasquan eventually ran
away from Jackson Memorial
to take the WOBM title by
the score of 60-50.
I didn’t get a chance to
watch the boys final, which
followed the Jaguars and
Warriors game and I don’t
really regret going to a hockey game instead.
Jackson Memorial and
Toms River North combined
to score one point fewer than
the Warriors put up in the
final.
The Jaguars boys team
defeated the Mariners 31-28
in the final.
Lets just say the girls and
boys finals of the WOBM
confirmed the thought there
might be a little more excitement on the girls side when it
comes to Shore Conference
basketball this season.
The Shore Conference
boasts five teams that were
ranked in the top 20 in the
state on the girls side starting
with Manasquan, who got
the top ranking in the state,
and St. Rose, who is at number four.
It all makes for what could
be a magical season for girls
basketball in the area.
Anyone who has watched
the Warriors and knows the
talent level of the Purple
Roses can’t help but look forward to the Feb. 11 date when
St. Rose hosts the Warriors at
1 p.m.
There is one major problem, the Warrior boys host
St. Rose at the same time.
I know I am not the only
one who does not want to
have to choose between what
is always a great game
between the Purple Roses
and Warriors boys basketball
teams and what will be the
most anticipated girls regular
season game of the season.
The
St.
Rose
and
Manasquan athletic departments have six weeks to give
the people what they want, a
boys-girls’ double header.
Sorry boys, but the girls
deserve top billing on this
one.
Make the boy game at 1
p.m. and have the girls follow
at 3 p.m.
Sure it will take more work
for the host school, but it
would make for a memorable
afternoon of basketball and
allow fans to watch what
could be two great games.
There is plenty of time to
find more room for others on
the girls’ basketball bandwagon, and Manasquan and
St. Rose should find the time
and space to welcome new
fans on board.

WARRIORS 59 GIRLS BASKETBALL BULLDOGS 50
Mabrey marvelous in win over Rumson
Squan senior drops 35
points on Rumson-Fair
Haven to send Warriors
to the WOBM final
BY SAM COSTANTINO
THE COAST STAR
TOMS RIVER — With nothing
going right for Manasquan
last Thursday night and with
a trip to the WOBM
Christmas Classic final on
the line, Manasquan senior
Michaela Mabrey knew it
was time — time to take over.
Down 27-21 at the break
versus Rumson-Fair Haven,
the Notre Dame-bound
guard took the Warriors on
her back, scoring 17 of her
game-high 35 points in the
second
half
to
push
Manasquan to a 59-50 victory.
With the win, the team
earned a spot in the holiday
tournament final against
Jackson Memorial [see related story].
Mabrey’s stellar perform-
ance came on a night in
which the Warriors faced
foul trouble, questionable
calls from the officials and a
young, tough Bulldogs team
looking to play spoiler.
Mabrey was satisfied to
move on to the final, but felt
Manasquan was fortunate to
advance after digging itself
into a hole early.
“We have a lot to work on,”
she said following the game.
“That is a game we have to
come out harder. Calls did
not go our way tonight but
you can’t let that get the best
of you. I had to take over this
game.”
Manasquan head coach
Felix Romero was proud of
his team for its perseverance
in the face adversity during
the first tight contest the
Warriors have met with in
2011-2012.
“It was great to see that we
can be down and hang in
there, especially in a game
that was as frustrating as that
one,” said Romero. “It was
tough.”
Despite seeing it time and
time again, the coach was
impressed with the play of
his senior standout.
“She was huge,” said
Romero, of Mabrey. “Two
years ago we played Rumson
and we were in a similar
game and lost in double overtime. Michaela had a huge
game. She played confident
and was poised.”
The beginning of the game
seemed as if it would be a
typical Warrior victory, as
the group jumped out to a
fast, 7-1 lead. Quickly, though,
the tides shifted out of
Manasquan’s favor.
The team lost two-thirds of
its front court in a matter of
minutes,

THE COAST STAR
CALDWELL — St. Rose guard
Morgan Barry has been
superb for the Purple Roses
since transferring from Red
Bank Catholic last season, but
had perhaps her best performance on Friday afternoon
during a 45-37 victory over
North Hunterdon.
The senior scored a teamhigh 16 points, including four,
3-pointers, as St. Rose moved
to a perfect 6-0 on the season.
Following the game, Barry
preached team basketball,
feeling the abilities of the four
other girls on the floor led to
her making the most of her
opportunities.
“It was good — all five of us
can obviously shoot,” said
Barry. “Everyone, in each
game we play, can hit their
shots.”
The win completed a threegame sweep for the Purple
Roses at the Mount Saint
Dominic Festival in Caldwell,
which hosted some of the top
teams in the state of New
Jersey.
Last Tuesday, St. Rose started the festival with a 52-48 victory over Gill St. Bernard’s,
which was followed by a 6039 win over Piscataway on
Thursday night.
Purple Roses head coach
Joe Roman was impressed by
the play of his group at Mount
Saint Dominic Academy. The
coach was proud to see St.
Rose come back and earn a
victory on Friday afternoon
after playing a tough
Piscataway team the night
before.
“We played last night
[Thursday] at 7 p.m. and had
to come back and play a really
good team at 1 p.m. today,”
said Roman. “I think we were
tired. We didn’t play particularly well, but, to still come
away with a win says something about our kids. I am
very happy because they were
three tough games.”
As the second quarter
opened up, the Purple Roses
fell behind North Hunterdon,
17-12, seemingly feeling the
effects of playing a day game
after a night game.
However, a suggestion from
the assistant coaching staff
and a well-placed timeout
would change the course of
the matchup for good.
With 6:06 remaining in the
first half, St. Rose began to
press,
forcing
North
Hunterdon into discomfort.
“My assistants said to start
pressing them a little bit,” said
Roman. “I think we turned
them over five or six times in
a row and it kind of changed
the momentum of the game.”
Out of the timeout, senior
guard Kasey Chambers got
the turnaround started, burying a pull-up jump shot.
Off a steal from senior
Diana Malanga, St. Rose
pulled within one of North
Hunterdon on two points
from senior Samantha Clark
in the low post.
North Hunterdon tried to
slow the momentum of the
Purple Roses with a timeout
of its own, but was unable to
do so, as St. Rose ended the
half on a 15-2 run and took a
27-19 lead into the break.
“We started pressing,” said
Barry. “It worked really well
and I think that is what
changed the game.”
“It was a big turning point,”
added Roman.
Despite holding the lead
and the momentum, St. Rose
struggled out of the gate in the
third quarter, with North
Hunterdon scoring the first
seven points to pull within
one, 27-26.
The Purple Rose offense
continued
to
struggle
throughout much of the quarter, but got a jolt late on a big
3-point basket from Barry,
which gave St. Rose a 30-26
lead.
“She was great,” said
Roman of Barry. “She hit
some big shots. She provides
a lot from behind the arc on
the offensive end. I am really
happy with how she performed today.”
The coach noted that what
could have been missed during Barry’s strong shooting
performance was her solid
contribution on defense during the win.
“She works so hard defensively,” continued
Roman.
“She goes after every loose
ball and she is so fast.”
A two-point bucket from
Clark following Barry’s 3pointer gave St. Rose a 32-26
lead entering the fourth quarter, one the team preserved
throughout the final eight
minutes.
The Purple Roses are feeling very confident after the
sweep at the Mount Saint
Dominic Festival, but reiterated that they do not want to get
ahead of themselves this early
in the season.
“We had some great wins
against some really good
teams, but we want to stay
humble,” said Barry.
ST. ROSE BACK IN THE SWING
The Purple Roses carried
their 6-0 record back to the
regular season yesterday, taking on Keyport in a B Central
matchup. The game with the
Red Raiders occurred too late
to be covered in this edition of
The Coast Star.
Today, St. Rose will travel to
Henry Hudson for a 4 p.m.
road game.
On Wednesday, the team
will host Red Bank Catholic at
7 p.m.
quarters, and in the fourth
we just let it slip. It won’t
happen again.”
“We wanted to be physical
but be smart at the same
time,” added
sophomore
Samantha Sullivan, who contributed seven points to the
victory. “This game will be a
learning experience for us.”
Romero was not upset to
see his girls hustling in the
final eight minutes of play,
but wanted the Warriors to
understand the situation of
holding a big lead late in the
game.
“We called some timeouts
to tell them to run the offense
and not to foul,” said Romero.
“We were too aggressive and,
honestly, didn’t play smart
basketball at the end.
Hopefully we learned from it
and can move on.”
The fourth quarter may
have disappointed the group,
but there were plenty of
highlights and things to be
excited about in the matchup
with the Panthers.
Along with Michaela
Mabrey’s game-high 28, the
Warriors had three girls in
double digits, as sophomore
Katelynn Flaherty and freshman
Marina
Mabrey
[Michaela’s sister] scored 21
and 19 points, respectively.
“There were a lot of good
things,” said Romero.
The coach added he was
very satisfied with the play of
his team in the first half.
“I thought we played well
in the first half,” he said. “We
felt good. We thought we
could continue to do what we
did in the first half, and
maybe just make a couple of
minor adjustments.”
Leading 31-21 at the midway point, the Warriors
picked up the tempo in the
third, closing the quarter
with a 13-2 run.
“We jumped on them,” said
Romero. “We pushed the ball
up the floor and got some
easy baskets. We also played
great defense in the third
quarter.”
Manasquan’s run to end
the third quarter ignited the
large crowd in attendance,
which the team acknowledged as a driving force in
the game.
“There is a lot of hype,”
said Romero. “There was a
buzz going around the school
with the student body. They
were excited today and we
got a lot of support from the
community.”
“This is a really good rivalry game for us to play. We
have really good competition
in the Shore [Conference],”
added Michaela Mabrey. “A
lot of people came out and it
was a great atmosphere.”
The win put Manasquan in
the driving seat of the C
Central race and gave the
Warriors the edge in momentum for the next time the two
teams meet at Point Pleasant
Borough High School on Jan.
24 — just 19 days from today.
The game had many highs
and lows for Manasquan as a
group. But, in the end, the
Warriors were able to add
another notch to the win column, which ultimately was
the main objective heading
into Tuesday night.
“We are happy — we beat a
good team,” said Michaela
Mabrey. “This is a game we
really wanted.”

third quarter, Michaela
Mabrey saw the run-and-gun
style of the Warriors taking
its toll on Rumson.
“I knew they were tired,”
she said. “The pace of our
game just wears teams
down.”
With the Bulldogs gasping,
the Warriors set the stride,
cutting the lead to 34-31 with
just under 2:30 remaining in
the third quarter.
“We knew that eventually,
if we hung in there, we could
creep back into the game little by little,” said Romero.
“We hung in there, were
patient and let things work
themselves out for us.”
Romero credited the
efforts of Melissa Pavia,
Gretchen Fay and Eva Hart,
feeling their high intensity
and scrappy play helped
wear down the Bulldogs.
“They were awesome —
they came off the bench and
gave us a spark,” said
Romero.
Manasquan would take all
the momentum and the lead
for good on perhaps the most
memorable play of the entire
tournament.
With the Warriors down,
34-31, Michaela Mabrey came
down the floor, pulled up
from long range and buried a
3-point basket from the left
elbow. The senior was also
fouled on the play, converting the free throw to give
Manasquan a 35-34 lead, its
first lead since the first quarter.
“I think that was the cli-
max for us,” said Michaela
Mabrey, referring to the fourpoint play. “That turned
things around and really got
us in the mode that we can
win the game.”
The momentum-shifting
bucket ignited a charge in the
Warriors, specifically sophomore Katelynn Flaherty, who
struggled in the first half.
The lightning-fast point
guard scored the last seven
points of the third quarter for
Manasquan, as the team took
a 42-39 lead into the final
quarter.
Flaherty, who finished
with 16 points, was happy to
get it going after a slow start.
“It was frustrating [in the
first half],” said Flaherty.
“When I started going to the
basket and scoring, it made
me realize I should just keep
going to the basket instead of
shooting [from the outside].”
Manasquan was able to
extend its lead to as much as
eight points in the fourth
quarter and, even though the
Bulldogs kept fighting, the
Warriors never lost their
lead.
Manasquan would convert
on five of six free throws
down the stretch to preserve
the win.
The victory put the
Warriors in the spot to win
the program’s first WOBM
Christmas Classic.
“We are really excited,”
said Michaela Mabrey, of
playing in the final prior to
the matchup with Jackson
Memorial. “We need to go
home and ice up — we are
tired.”

Purple Roses can’t get
past Mariners in semifinal
St. Rose falls in overtime
to Toms River North in
WOBM semifinal
BY LEN BARDSLEY
THE COAST STAR
TOMS RIVER — As much as
veteran St. Rose boys basketball coach Dennis Devaney
may try, it is hard to duplicate
during a practice the tension
of a last-second shot during a
game.
That is why he could not
get too upset after the Purple
Roses 46-43 double overtime
loss to Toms River North in
the WOBM Tournament
semifinal on Wednesday at
Pine Belt Arena.
Devaney just hopes the
experience of losing to the
Mariners will help St. Rose
later in the season.
The Purple Roses had several chances to earn the win,
but could not quite sink the
game clinching shot.
“It is really early yet,’’ said
Devaney. “I say it goes back
to practice. We try to put
them in an atmosphere
where they feel pressure in
practice so for games like in
this situation we don’t have
breakdowns.’’
It was clear early the game
was going to be a possession
by possession game with neither team able to build more
than a five-point lead.
St. Rose was in position to
win on several occasions, but
could not quite seal the deal.
The Purple Roses led 37-34
with 48 seconds left in the
fourth quarter after Connor
Leddy scored off a Mark
Kukoda pass after a steal.
The Mariners tied the
game, however, on a Rich
Gebbia 3-point shot from the
corner after Toms River
North tracked down a loose
ball with 35 seconds left.
“We have not gotten one of
those non-possession balls
since the first President
Bush,’’ said Devaney. Every
time we don’t get it, they usually score a three, but they
always score. It was a nonpossession ball, I thought we
had the inside track to get it
and somehow they got it and
knocked down a three.’’
The Purple Roses still had
a chance to close out the
game, getting two shots off in
the final seven seconds, but
both attempts just missed
their mark.
St. Rose took the lead again
in the final minute, this time
in the first overtime when
Leddy drained a 3-pointer
with 43 seconds left to give
the Purple Roses a 40-38
lead.
Alex Levechenko scored
on a drive at the other end of
the court to tie the game 4040 with 28 seconds left.
The Purple Roses again
had a chance to finish things
off, when they drew a foul on
a putback attempt with only
3.7 seconds left in the first
overtime. St. Rose missed
both foul shots, however,
allowing the game to move
into a second overtime.
Toms River North took a
42-40 lead in the second
overtime,
but
Leddy
answered with his fifth 3point shot of the game, giving
the Purple Roses a 43-42 lead
with 2:16 left in the second
overtime.
Leddy finished with 17
points and was a clear bright
spot for St. Rose in the loss.
“So far he has been a godsend,’’ said Devaney of
Leddy. “He is a very, very
good pure set shooter and he
also plays hard on defense.’’
The Mariners jumped
ahead 45-43 when Sean
Martin scored on a baseline
drive and was fouled on the
play, converting the traditional 3-point play with 1:02
left.
St. Rose missed a 3-pointer
at the other end and was
forced to foul to send Toms
River North to the line.
Martin made one of his two
attempts, giving the Mariners
a 46-43 lead with only 17 seconds left in the second overtime.
Kukoda got a good look
and release on a 3-point shot
at the buzzer, but the shot
rimmed out, giving the
Mariners a narrow victory
and ending the Purple Roses
dream of repeating as
WOBM Tournament champions.
“North is a good team,’’
said Devaney. “They are a lot
bigger than us and they are
more athletic than us. We
had it, we could have won, it
is a credit to our team. You
just have to get the job done.’’
The Purple Roses went
into the half trailing 21-18.
Connor Leddy had the hot
hand for St. Rose during the
first half, shooting over the
Toms River North zone, sinking three 3-point shots from
the corner.
The Purple Roses tried to
get open shots passing over
the Mariners zone, but
turned the ball over seven
times during the first half.
St. Rose took a 3-0 lead on
a Leddy 3-pointer, before a
Sean Maguire recover off a
Dean Devaney feed pushed
the Purple Rose advantage to
5-2.
The Mariners scored the
next six points, setting up a
back-and-fourth first half.
The Purple Roses tied the
game 10-10 on another Leddy
3-pointer early in the second
quarter and jumped ahead 1310 on a Mark Kukoda 3-pointer.

PANTHERS 68 BOYS BASKETBALL WARRIORS 53
Manasquan cannot find
any rhythm against Boro
Warriors can’t recover
from second quarter
Panthers surge
BY LEN BARDSLEY
THE COAST STAR
POINT PLEASANT — The last
30 seconds of the first half of
the Manasquan and Point
Pleasant Borough boys basketball game caught the
essence of the problems that
plagued the Warriors during
a 68-53 loss.
It was a game of one step
forward and two steps back
for Manasquan.
The Warriors took their
last lead of the game with 40
seconds left in the second
quarter on a nice baseline
drive by senior forward Alex
Waga.
As he did all game,
Panthers senior guard Shaun
Cooke had an answer for
Point Pleasant Borough.
Cooke scored on a short
jumper to give the Panthers a
22-21 lead before stealing the
ensuing inbound pass, stepping back and hitting a 3pointer at the buzzer to give
Point Pleasant a five-point
burst and a 25-21 lead going
into the second half.
The Warriors would battle,
but never recover, falling into
a deeper hole during a gritty
third quarter.
“It just wasn’t our night,’’
said
Manasquan
coach
Andrew Bilodeau. “We didn’t
play well. Give credit to Point
Boro — they did a wonderful
job.’’
The Warriors did a lot of
things right during the first
half, matching the Panthers
possession by possession, but
they could not maintain their
momentum or put together
enough good plays in a row
to gain control over Point
Pleasant Borough.
Manasquan took an early
lead on 3-pointers by Jim
Walsh and Waga and a fastbreak basket off a feed from
J.R. Hobbie.
The Warriors had trouble
finding their range from the
outside following their early
surge.
“I thought we got great
looks at times until we had to
start scrambling in the end,’’
said Bilodeau. “We had great
looks for most of the game,
we just didn’t finish. We will
find a way.’’
The Warriors went nearly
the last five minutes of the
first quarter without a field
goal, but thanks to some
strong defense that created
Point Pleasant Borough
turnovers, Manasquan only
trailed 12-10 after the opening
quarter.
The Warriors had a better
second quarter.
Bryan Abadrabo tied the
game, scoring on a fast break
off a steal. Walsh answered a
Kevin MacIver jumper for
the Panthers with a basket in
the paint to tie the game, 1414.
Waga, playing solid at both
ends of the floor, scored on a
layup to give Manasquan a
16-14 lead.
The Warriors offense,
however, hit another dry
spell midway through the
second quarter and the
Panthers took advantage.
Alex Lorenz scored in the
paint before Cooke hit a
jumper. A Lorenz putback
gave the Panthers a 20-16
lead.
Manasquan went on its
best, and only, scoring burst
of the game to take a lead late
in the second quarter.
Walsh hit a foul shot and
Abadrabo scored on a drive.
Waga’s drive gave the
Warriors a 21-20 lead, but also
sparked the Cooke end of
half dramatics.
Manasquan had a decent
start to the second half with
Hobbie scoring on a drive
and a jumper to match a
Lorenz lay-in, but a 3-point
shot by Jashon Woodard gave
the Panthers a 30-25 lead and
marked the beginning of the
end for the Warriors during
the third quarter.
The Warriors had several
turnovers and picked up a
few questionable fouls as the
game became more of a physical battle during the third
quarter.
Cooke started to take over
the game for Point Pleasant
Borough on the offensive
end. The savvy senior either
drove to the basket and
passed to Lorenz for easy
baskets and sank jumpers
from the outside.
Cooke finished with 31
points, and Lorenz, 22.
A fast break by Cooke at
the end of the third quarter
gave the Panthers a 38-27
lead.
The Warriors worked to
cut the Point Pleasant
Borough advantage to single
digits with Tommy Toole hitting a 3-pointer and Hobbie
scoring on a layup to trim the
lead to 48-39.
Yet every time Manasquan
looked ready to make a run,
Cooke came through for the
Panthers with either a basket
or a perfect assist to push the
advantage back in Point
Pleasant Borough’s favor.
Hobbie, who was aggressive in going to the basket in
the
second
half,
led
Manasquan with 23 points in
the loss, while Waga had 11
points and Walsh had 9.
Bilodeau knew it was going
to be tough in the second half
for the Warriors to play from
behind against a team like the
Panthers.
“That is not our game,’’
said Bilodeau. “We had some
really
uncharacteristic
turnovers for us. We normally don’t turn it over like that.
We will bounce back — we
will be fine.’’

period to give the Purple
Roses a 3-1 lead.
The St. Rose defense limited Hamilton to only eight
shots, and senior goalie Ray
McGirr picked up the victory,
making seven saves.
“We spent a lot of time in
their end,’’ said O’Neill.
“Their goalie played really
well. He was the best goalie
we saw there.’’
O’Neill enjoyed seeing his
team accomplish one of its
season goals.
“It was nice,’’ said O’Neill.
“It was a goal we set for ourselves and whenever you can
accomplish one of your goals
it is a wonderful thing.’’
The

“We were able to get
DeFazio his first goal,’’ said
O’Neill. “That was a nice

St. Rose is now 9-2 this season.
O’Neill was pleased with

in the tournament for the

Manasquan Warriors win the WOBM title
WOBM
FROM PAGE 45
The Warriors came out in
the second half determined
not only to pick up their
defensive intensity, but to
look for better shooting
options on offense.
Romero felt his team
lacked some patience and
settled for the outside shot
during the first half.
“The big thing when plays
didn’t go for us, it is a continuous play,’’ said Romero. “We
pulled up for shots. Our girls
are capable of making those
shots, but when you get too
many that are not going in
you want to look to get to the
basket.’’
Manasquan and freshman
Marina Mabrey, a 5-foot-10
forward/guard, took control
of the game during the third
quarter.
Mabrey, who was coming
off a frustrating semifinal
game against Rumson-Fair
Haven when she was limited
to three points due to foul
trouble, displayed all the
tools in her skill set during
the third quarter.
She started the second half
by driving to the basket to
cut the Jaguars’ lead to 26-25.
Katelyn Flaherty sank two
foul shots to give the
Warriors a 27-26 lead with
seven minutes left in the
third quarter.
The Warriors defense
forced a Jackson Memorial
turnover and Sam Sullivan
scored in the paint, pushing
the Manasquan lead to 29-26.
It was clear the Warriors
were getting back to their
game in the second half in a
quick sequence of plays.
Flaherty made a nice pass
over the top to Michaela
Mabrey, Marina’s older sister,
who had moved into the post
and easily scored under the
basket.
A few moments later,
Michaela Mabrey blocked a
shot at the other end which
led to a nice reverse by
Marina
Mabrey,
giving
Manasquan a 33-26 lead with
4:30 left in the third quarter.
Marina Mabrey felt the
Warriors played smarter basketball in the second half.
“We were just launching
35-foot shots and that was not
working for us [in the first
half],’’ said Marina. “We
needed to start running our
sets. We calmed down and
that helped us a lot.’’
The Warriors continued to
get to the basket during the
third quarter, while giving
Jackson Memorial no clean
shots on defense.
Marina Mabrey scored on
a drive before Flaherty made
a layup to give Manasquan a
37-28 lead.
Flaherty — who showed
up in every stat in the game
with several steals, a block,
several assists and 21 points
— gave Michaela Mabrey
another pass over the top for
an easy basket in the paint,
giving Manasquan a 39-31
lead.
Flaherty felt the Warriors
were getting better looks at
the basket during the second
half.
“The first half and the first
quarter, we were settling for
35-footers,’’ said Flaherty.
“We had to attack the basket
and pick up our defense. We
told her [Michaela Mabrey]
we could throw over the top
to her, and she made every
shot and played her game in
there.’’
The Warriors ended the
third quarter with a 3-point
shot by Marina Mabrey, giving Manasquan a 42-33 lead.
“I found the groove probably halfway through the third
— that felt good,’’ said
Marina Mabrey.
The Warriors continued to
pull away in the fourth quarter.
Michaela Mabrey scored in
the paint off another assist
from Flaherty before Marina
Mabrey sank two foul shots.
Sullivan scored on a little
hook shot, giving Manasquan
a 48-36 lead with 6:01 left in
the fourth quarter.
The
closest
Jackson
Memorial could cut the lead
was eight points with only
1:35 left in the fourth quarter.
Marina Mabrey sank two
foul shots and then scored on
a fastbreak to give the
Warriors enough breathing
room in the final minute.
Flaherty was thrilled to
win the WOBM with the
Warriors playing a solid second half of basketball.
“It means a lot,’’ said
Flaherty. “We were looking
forward to it for so many
years, and play together and
win together. We wanted to
keep running, keep pushing
the ball and keep finding
scoring opportunities.’’

FISHING TIPS BY JIM FREDA
New Year, same striper action
DO CHILDREN’S UTIs POSE FUTURE RISK?
There has been some concern
that recurrent urinary tract
infections in children may possibly put them at higher risk for
chronic kidney disease later in
life. However, the most recent
research on the matter indicates
that this concern is largely misplaced. Much of the worry associated with this potential threat
revolves around “vesicoureteral
reflux” (VUR), which involves
some urine backing up into the
kidneys. While the reflux itself
does not damage the kidneys,
there is the fear that bacteria in
the urine of children with VUR
may infect the kidneys and lead
to scarring. The new study
shows that there was no evidence that childhood UTIs
(even coupled with VUR) were
the main cause of chronic kidney disease.
Our practice is dedicated to
providing you with the highest
quality of medical and urologic
surgical care. We treat patients
with most urological issues
including, bladder and kidney
disorders, prostate problems
and urinary incontinence. For
further information about
today’s topic, call 732-2237877 for our office located at
2401 Highway 35 (Orchard
Park Medical Building),
Manasquan or 732-206-9830
for the office at 525 Jack
Martin Blvd., Suite 102,
Brick. New patients are gladly
accepted.
P.S. The fact that vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has a
strong genetic component can
help determine whether it is in
the young patient’s best interest
to undergo VUR testing.
