NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

Welcome

Carolyn Burtnick

When I think of November, automatically my mind evokes images of Thanksgiving, especially football, family and pies galore – of course! Thanksgiving is the holiday where you don’t have to break the

bank for gifts, it is time to offer thanks for all you have, it’s time to celebrate your family and friends – even in difficult times, there are always things for which to be grateful for. When sitting at the dinner table with your close relatives, look around at your loved ones and be thankful for everyone that surrounds you, because each other are the real things in life that matter.

Veterans Day is celebrated in November, and this day is a special one where we honor and thank all who served in the United Sates Armed Forces. Community Magazine would like to take this opportunity to thank all our men and women who have served our country and protected our freedom and safety.

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. ~Elmer Davis

All my best to you and yours,

On a beautiful Saturday in late Sep-tember, the residents and company owners from Hazlet Township and surrounding towns came together for a day of fun at Veterans Memo-

rial Park. This free and open to the public event provided free rides for the children including rock climbing, trackless train rides, tiger belly bouncer, an obstacle course, rock wall/bungee trampoline and even pony rides. These rides were available thanks to the generosity of both the Hazlet Rec-reation and The Provident Bank. Some of the vendors at Hazlet Day included Metlife, Asana Yoga & Dance, Hazlet Thunderettes, Cub Scout Pack 137, Liberty Tax and many others. The food available included sausage and peppers, ham-burgers and hot dogs, funnel cakes, kettle corn, and fresh squeezed lemonade.

The event ran from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. At 2:00 p.m., the Bella Dance Company performed a variety of dance routines. Boys and girls from ages four and up performed gymnastics, ballet, modern dance and hip hop performances took place in the center of the festivities.

Barbara Ronchetti has been with the Hazlet Recreation for twenty-two years. She stated that “Hazlet Day usually takes place in September or October and has been running for over for-ty years. An average of 1000 people will attend this event”. About thirty volunteers are in charge of setting up the tents, putting out the benches, cleaning up afterwards and other responsibilities. A majority of the vendors come to Hazlet Day year after year because of the positive feedback and attention they receive.

In addition to food and consumer vendors, Hazlet First Aid Squad provided a blood pressure check for free. Rullo Chiropractor also provided free massages and posture screenings.

Visitors of Hazlet Day were also able to enjoy Green Meadows Farm free of charge. The farm has been leasing their space from Veterans Park for seven years. With a staff of thirty, the farm of-fers an ideal learning environment for both chil-dren and adults with hundreds of farm animals. Mary Beth Somerville, manager at Green Mead-ows Farm, said “Our goal is to educate children and adults about farm animals. That is accom-plished through guided tours”.

Hazlet Day turned out to be a huge success. With over one thousand people in attendance, local businesses were able to be both profitable

and receive plenty of exposure.

Keyport Garden Walk Chairperson and secretary for the Garden Club Claire Skeen noted, “Charlie Merla very graciously offered us his venue last year and again this year. He has been very supportive of us and we are so grateful.”

A silent auction included 64 gift items donated by Keyport and area businesses. Some of those items included gift certificates for restaurants, tickets for theater company shows, luxury perfume and makeup beauty baskets, book baskets, oil paintings, basket of cheer, Keyport Commemo-rative Book, the original artwork for the Keyport 2012 Garden Walk, and a handmade afghan by Keyport residents that was inspired by the gardens of Keyport Garden Walk.

Keyport Garden Club was formed in early 2008 and its members in-clude college professors, lawyers, artists, and teachers. Garden Club Pres-ident Nancy Carew said the very first mission of the Garden Club was to get pots planted in the center of town. Next was the library where the biggest plantings were done. Club members have also planted in front of the Se-nior Center and continue to maintain those plantings. One special project was an interactive garden done in June, 2011 by Club members and Key-port children. It is known as the “READ” garden and is located on the Third Street side of the library. There is a 17th century herb garden on the side of the library where culinary and medicinal herbs of that time period are grown. The Club has also installed three rain gardens at the waterfront which filter storm water before it returns to the Raritan Bay.

All programs and activities for the Keyport Garden Club are made pos-sible by membership, sponsorship, and fundraising initiatives that are gen-erated throughout the year. Meetings take place on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Keyport Library.

Keyport Garden Walk 2013 will be held on June 8 and 9. For further information about Keyport Garden Club or about the 2013 Garden Walk visit www.keyportgardenclub.com or www.keyportgardenwalk.org.

Matawan Day was a true cel-ebration of Matawan bor-ough, which has been in ex-istence for over 300 years. Along Main Street, hundreds

of vendors offered unique, practical and fun items for purchase, with free items available at many tables. Borough orga-nizations offered information about their programs as well as the opportunity to ask questions or voice concerns.

The event was hosted by Moyers In-surance Agency in association with the Recreation Commission of the Matawan Borough. Mike Moyers noted that this was his third year hosting Matawan Day. He felt there was a good mix of vendors and equally good amount of food vendors. Numerous volunteers assisted in making Matawan Day a success. Free children’s rides, carnival-type games, several live bands, DJ’s playing great music, and per-formances by four local dance companies offered something for every age group. Adults had the option of shopping or en-joying the beer and wine garden provided by La Riviera Restaurant.

Matawan Recreation held a Halloween coloring contest for three age groups in which the winners from each would re-ceive a $20 gift card to The Hobby Shop, explained Recreation Director Deirdre Ring. Matawan-Aberdeen Public Library Director Kimberly Paone noted that al-though there is construction being done at the library it is open. Friends of Ma-tawan-Aberdeen Public Library reminded visitors that on Saturday, November 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. they would be accepting books and media dona-tions inside the library for one day only. Call 732.583.9100 for details on donation guidelines.

One 96-year old organization, the Woman’s Club of Matawan, was selling tickets for the 50/50 cash raffle at the event, just as they have done each year. They utilize these funds to offer financial support to local charities. The organization assists in many Borough-wide events that cover the Arts, Home Life/Social Services, and much more. More information about programs, use of their facility, or joining, call 732.290.3169.

Matawan Day and Food Festival was attended by well over 1,000 visitors. Its success could be measured by the smil-ing faces of the young children, the busy vendors tending to customers, and the contented expressions of adults who were enjoying the family-oriented day.

ABERDEEN HAPPENINGS A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR FRED TAGLIARINI

Dear Fellow Aberdeen Residents:

We are very pleased to report that Aberdeen Day 2012 was, by all ac-counts, the most successful in the 17 years our township has been running this event. Key to this year’s accom-plishment was the decision by our Council and administration to take Aberdeen Day beyond its tradition-al home at Matawan Regional High School and stage events from morning to night at venues all over the commu-nity.

But make no mistake, from planning to ultimate execution, these exciting new events could not have happened without the support of dedicated vol-

unteers, most notably the Aberdeen Economic Business Council, which devoted most of its first year to making this a true community-wide cele-bration. Indeed, for two years, members of the Township Council and ad-ministration had been talking about ways to incorporate the entire town into Aberdeen Day; in other words, taking this beyond our ‘main event’ at the High School. Earlier this year, we came up with a list of events de-signed to draw residents and visitors to our beautiful waterfront in Cliff-wood Beach, to our merchants in various parts of town, and, ultimately, to Fireman’s Field in Oak Shades.

Working closely with the Economic Business Council, we came up with the day-long agenda that began at 11:00 a.m. with a fishing contest at Cliffwood Beach coordinated by Frank Huza, chairman of the Aber-deen Township Environmental Board and ended at Fireman’s Field with a night-time fireworks display generously sponsored by Tom Roman, prin-cipal of The Quality 1st Companies, a contracting firm that is relocating its headquarters from Perth Amboy to the former 84 Lumber site on Route 35 in Cliffwood. The fireworks immediately followed a Mayor’s Trophy softball series at the field game that included four teams from our Police and Public Works Departments, and Volunteer Fire and EMS companies (the Aberdeen P.D. took home the trophy).

In between, there was the main event at the High School run by Rec-reation Director Jim Colabelli and his team of volunteers that drew an estimated 3,500 to 4,000 people and featured more than 100 vendors (up 25% from a year ago). In the Strathmore section, shopping centers hosted several events, including food samplings courtesy of DeMarco’s Catering & Gourmet Deli and Livoti’s Old World Market. The afternoon was capped off by the first-ever Aberdeen’s Got Talent competition run by Susan Mc-Gowan of Better Homes Realty and DJ Mike Pantina of Total Sound Enter-tainment at the AMF Shopping Center which featured 31 performers and an enthusiastic audience of 300 guests.

At our October 16 meeting, the Aberdeen Township Council paid trib-ute to these key volunteers, awarding certificates of appreciation to Frank Huza, Tom Roman, Susan McGowan and Mike Pantina, as well as the Ab-erdeen Economic Business Council, which includes Chairman Carmine Visone of Home Away From Home Academy, Michael Ali of Livoti’s, Jason Bigelow of Advanced Tire and Auto Center, Eugene DeMarco of DeMarco’s, Luigi Falco of Fun Time America, Arthur Hirsch of Snap Fitness, Aberdeen Township Zoning Officer Maxine Rescorl, and Melanie Straniero of Flow-ers by Melanie. Without their tireless efforts, Aberdeen Day 2012 would not have been the roaring success it was.

Members of the Aberdeen Economic Business Council (EBC) were honored by the Aberdeen Township Council for their contributions to Aberdeen Day. On hand for the presentation were (left to right) Mayor Fred Tagliarini, EBC Chairman Car-mine Visone of Home Away From Home Academy, Melanie Straniero of Flowers by Melanie, Aberdeen Zoning Officer Maxine Rescorl, and Jason Bigelow of Advanced Tire & Auto.

Long time neigh-bor and friend Carmella Re-pack organized a

birthday party for Grace McGuire, who turned 104 on September 18, 2012. When asked why she thought McGuire deserved the party Re-pack responded, “She is an unbelievable person. She has a contagious laugh and always has a positive attitude.”

Repack has known McGuire since she was 7 years old, “I have known Grace for 59 years, she was my first neighbor and I live around the corner from her now.” Recently, Repack had lost her biological mother, but she considers McGuire to be her second mother.

“I always called Grace my second mom, my surrogate moth-er, because she was always there,” said Repack. To demonstrate her good will, Repack recalled a time when her mother had fall-en out of her wheel chair and McGuire stayed with her until help came. McGuire was 102 years old at the time of the incident. “She would not leave my mother alone,” Repack said. Repack describes McGuire as a kindhearted woman who always has a smile on her face.

“We always say, 104 and sharp as a tack, smart as a whip,” said Repack. She is always dressed like she is going to church and at 104 years old she still wears high heels. “It’s something my daughter always says to me. She goes ‘Mom, I’m in my 30’s and I don’t wear heels, Grace is over 100 and always wears them,” Re-pack said. She stressed how generous and thoughtful McGuire was of other. McGuire was a caregiver for a 90-year old when she herself was over 100. “That’s just the kind of person she is.”

Grace McGuire currently lives in a health care facility and could not be reached for comment.

He explained that his bone marrow transplant, done by Dr. Michele L. Donato at John Theurer Cancer Center at Hack-ensack University Medical Center was possible because of a 23-year old woman who had donated to the National Bone Marrow Donor Bank. “It was a 100% match and that’s hard to get,” said Ron. “My family and I would eventually like to meet her and share how she has helped us through her donation. People don’t realize the importance of being on the national donor lists – you can truly help save someone’s life. This is the only donation where you can see the outcome of what you do. Knowing that by donating, my donor was saving and extending my life is an unbelievable feeling.”

The “Pep Rally” Cornhole Tournament, organized by Ryan Killeen of Forever Hope, Inc., had about 250 attendees. Allan Evans, a good friend and co-worker of Ron’s suggested the or-ganization hold the benefit that included a buffet lunch, adult beverage specials, free water and soda and dessert. A silent auction with over 40 gift baskets donated by local businesses, family and friends, 50/50 raffles, and Event T-Shirt Sponsor-ship that enabled businesses to have their name and logo on about 300 t-shirts given away at the event. Ryan noted that the event was very successful and allowed Forever Hope, Inc., to help Ron and his family with some of his medical bills and expenses.

In addition, Stomp the Monster, LLC conducted a cheek swab stand for anyone who wanted to have their name/bone marrow submitted into the National Bone Marrow Donor Program. According to Ron, 60 people signed up to donate.

PEP RALLY CORNHOLE TOURNAMENTStory Susan Murphy

A “Pep Rally” Cornhole Tournament was held at McDonagh’s Pub in Keyport on October 13 for Ron Peperoni. The 34-year old

Keyport resident was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma in September 2011. He and his wife Stacy have two children, Ty, 6, and Danica, 4. “Only one in a million people get this rare type of cancer,” said Ron.

Held At Mcdonaghs For Keyport Resident


“We wanted to do something great for others like what was being done for us,” said Ron of the cheek swab stand. “The benefit itself was just great. There was such an outpouring of love,” he said about the event.

Anyone wishing to make monetary donations for the Peperoni family should make the check out to Forever Hope, Inc. and put Ron Peperoni in the memo section. Mail checks to Forever Hope, Inc., P.O. Box 644, Middletown, New Jersey 07748.

“Cancer has no timetable. I was sick for two Christmases and a lot of peo-ple helped my family out. We want to help take care of families just as others took care of us. We are collecting toys for the first annual PEP RALLY Toy Drive,” explained Ron. Donations will be accepted from now until the end of the year. All gifts should be new in the package and unwrapped for ages new-born to 18. Contact Stacy and Ron Pep-eroni for more information and drop off locations at [email protected]. Gifts will be donated to The Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital at Hacken-sack University Medical Center as well as local families through The Emmanu-el Cancer Foundation.

A Facebook page, “Pep Rally,” is the tagline for all events regarding the Peperoni family.

“We wanted to do something great for others like what was being done for us,” said Ron.

As a family law attorney in these tough economic times, I am often asked two related questions: Can I have my support obligation modi-fied?; and, if so, what do I need to do to have my support obligation modified?

The short answer to the modification question is yes; both statute (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-23) and case law (Lepis v. Lepis 83 N.J. 139 (1980) allow for modifica-tion of an existing support obligation. In the Lep-is case, the New Jersey Supreme Court said that support agreements are always subject to modi-fication upon a showing of changed circumstanc-es. It is the moving party’s responsibility to show changed circumstances warranting a modification of an existing support order.

Whether or not a party has demonstrated changed circumstances derives from a comparison of the parties’ economic life during the marriage with the present economic conditions. However, it is important to note that courts have consistently rejected requests for modification based upon cir-cumstances which are only temporary in nature.

The second question – what do I need to do to have my support obligation modified? – is much harder to answer.

First you should not file a motion seeking mod-ification of a support obligation prematurely. If your change of circumstances is the loss of em-ployment and you are receiving unemployment benefits, most courts will not modify your support obligation, as your unemployment is not consid-ered a permanent change of circumstances.

There are certain things that must be done in preparation for filing a modification motion. You must compile all documents that will accompany your motion as exhibits. These documents must include your Case Information Statement (a Court document that represents your budget and sets forth your assets and debts) from the time of the initial support order, as this document must be in-cluded in your filing pursuant to the Court’s Rules. You must also prepare a current Case Information Statement. These documents will allow the Court to compare your current financial condition to that which existed at the time of the initial order.

If you are seeking modification of an existing support order because you have lost a job you

must be able to demonstrate to the Court that the loss of that job has affected your ability to earn income at your previous level. This is necessary because the court de-termines your support obligation based upon your ability to earn, not based upon your actual earn-ings.

Therefore, before filing a motion to modify you should conduct an extensive job search. This serves two purposes: first, it may lead to a job that will allow you to meet your support obligation; and, second, it will demonstrate to the Court that no job exists that will allow you to meet your support obligation. Documentation showing your job search should include: proof that you have forwarded your resume to prospective employers; proof that your resume was received by the prospective employers, if same exists; proof of all interviews which you attended; and, proof of any fol-low up you did with each prospec-tive employer.

If after your initial job search you are unable to find a job earn-ing income at your previous level you should then attempt to find a job at a lower income level; and, if successful in that job search you should accept the new employ-ment. This will demonstrate to the court you knew earning ability.

Once you have compiled all of the necessary documents you are ready to file your motion for modi-fication. In the Certification in sup-port of your modification motion you will then explain to the court your changed circumstances and how they make it impossible to meet your current support obliga-tion.

In reviewing your modification motion the court must go through a two stage process. First, the Court must determine if you have made a prima facie showing of changed circumstances. If the court deter-mines that you have made a show-ing of changed circumstances it will

then order an exchange of financial information. This information ex-change is necessary because up to this point the court has seen no financial information for the sup-ported spouse.

After the court reviews the fi-nancial information from the sup-ported spouse, it can either modify your support obligation, or sched-ule a plenary hearing (trial) to de-termine how much you can afford to pay and how much the support-ed spouse can accept. In making this determination the court must attempt to keep each party as close to the standard of living enjoyed during the course of the marriage while at the same time acknowl-edging that the changed circum-stances in your case will not allow either party to maintain that stan-dard of living.

Dearborn Market held their first Apple Festival on September 29 and 30 to celebrate the arrival of fall and to offer customers and their children a full weekend of family fun. Tons of apples, hot and cold apple cider and delicious apple pastries were available to all who attend-ed. Whether shopping in the market or visiting the Gar-den Center, adults and children alike found something just for them.

Pumpkin picking started the same weekend and pumpkins of all sizes were available for purchase. For the little ones, there was a plethora of activities to be en-joyed: a climbable hay bale pyramid, face painting, wag-on rides, music by DJs from Sounds of Excellence (who played a great Halloween mix), a small petting zoo and pony rides. Adults enjoyed perusing the colorful variety of mums and many other garden items available for pur-chase for display in their homes.

“This was our first apple festival and the turnout was better than we expected. The weather was beautiful, the fields are open and everyone can pick their own pump-kins. The hay bale pyramid seemed to be a big hit and the children are having great fun. The music seems to be get-ting everyone in the mood for the fall and for Halloween,” said Frank Luccarelli, president of Dearborn Market. For upcoming events visit www.dearbornmarket.com.

Inside, dozens of crafters were set up selling their homemade wares, as well as other family-friendly entertainment. This in-cluded: pumpkin, rock, and face painting, as well as craft-making, zumba, karaoke, and square dancing. DJ services, and live perfor-mances by such groups as the church’s own “Gospel Gang” band also occurred throughout the day.

Tiffany Rowald brought her 2-year-old, Nicholas, out to enjoy the amusement. “My son is having fun. He liked the fire truck,” said the Union Beach resident.

The Fall Festival has taken place, in some form, for 18 years. The biggest fundraiser of the year, church organizer Joan Rhodes, of Holmdel, estimated it would raise $2,000. Proceeds from the event go to the church operating fund.

Rhodes explained how the festival is now especially important. Money is still needed to repair damage caused by last year’s devas-tating hurricane, Irene. “We got flooded out with Hurricane Irene. We were out of commission for nine months. The main purpose [of the Fall Festival] is to fundraise through community support.”

An equally integral part to St. John’s festivities was raising aware-ness about the church and its works. Rhodes said its purpose was to “encourage young people to attend church, and education.” The day is about celebrating their community and faith, and attracting potential followers who also value charity.

Carol Gallagher was one of many volunteers who came out to help support the church. A resident of Lincroft, she has been a member for 25 years. “We have a very active church,” which is sus-tained by St. John’s parishioners, she explained, “we have a lot of willing hands.”

While Gallagher manned a booth educating the community on the church’s work with food banks, others happily maintained ac-tivity stations, collected donations, prepared food, or conducted traffic. All worked together to carry out a successful event.

Next up for the church is participating in the 32nd Annual Red Bank CROP Hunger Walk, and planning next July’s home repair mission work camp. The latter will conclude with the repair of 75 homes in the Bayshore area.

On Oct. 6, St. John’s United Methodist Church held its Fall Festival. The event was open to all, and saw a nice turnout.

Children and their families enjoyed such activi-ties as a bouncy house, a “fitness fun on wheels” fun bus, and a fire truck.

Car Show Held at United Methodist Church in Matawan

Jersey Dream Ma-chines Car Club hosted a show for car enthusiasts

in the parking lot of the United Methodist Church in Matawan on Saturday, October 20. The show was open to all classic and antique cars as well as motorcycles. There was music, food, door prizes, and gift cards awarded to participants.

Ron Hinz was in charge of organizing the car show. Hinz handed out flyers and advertised the event on a number of car web sites. “This is the first year we’ve hosted a car show here. We wanted to support the food pantry,” said Hinz.

“It’s been tough with the cut backs and everything. There are still 50 million people in this country that don’t have food.”

Normally to enter a car show, members have to pay money to display their cars, but Jersey Dream Machines just asked for non-perishable food donations instead.

Along with the car show, there was a bake sale and garage sale inside the church. “My wife always has rummage sales. So I said if the club wants to do a car show and we go through the church and they approve, we could combine the two. And they were all for it,” said Hinz.

Display cars filled the parking lot. “So far it’s been very suc-cessful for the first time out,” said Ron. “This whole thing was very last minute,” said Lou DeDonno, Jersey Dream Machines Club Member. “Maybe next year, if it pans out and they want to do it again, I can upgrade it and plan it earlier. I’ll have a little more time to plan it out and advertise and maybe get a trophy. We just have to see how it goes,” said Hinz. Car shows are normally held during the summer, so this show was considered late for the season. They lucked out with a beautiful, sunny day.

Members of Jersey Dream Machines Peter Bruncati and his brother set up a tent to sell car detail products and from their personal business, Wax Daddy. “It’s a side business, we do it as a hobby,” said Bruncati.

“We used to host a few shows, years back, this is our first one in years,” said DeDonno. Even though they have not host-ed any car shows recently, Jersey Dream Machines has attend-ed many events. Recently, they attended Aberdeen Day and a Vietnam Memorial. “They did a great job with Aberdeen Day and we had a lot of turnout at the memorial,” said Hinz.

“The car was a gift from my husband,” said Terry Thein of Middletown. Thein had her 1991 hunter green Mazda on dis-play for the show. “It’s fun. We get in it, pop the clutch and down Main Street I go.”

Jersey Dream Machines plan on hosting more car shows in the future. “This will probably be our thing now,” said DeDon-no. “We always try to help out the churches when we can.”

Matawan’s 7th Annual Turkey Trot 5K Race to

Benefit Matawan’s Parks, Recreation

Programs & EventsThe Matawan Recreation Commission

will be sponsoring the 7th Annual Matawan Turkey Trot, a 5K Race/Fitness Walk, on Saturday, November 24, 2012. Registration is at 8:00 a.m., race time is 10:00 a.m. A Kiddy Dash, for younger runners, will take place following the race.

This event is an opportunity to exer-cise and share your competitive spirit with friends, colleagues, and neighbors while

running on our officially certified course through Matawan. Food donation will be accepted for the Matawan Food Pantry.

Registration forms are available at www.matawanborough.com or you may register online at ww.bestrace.com. For more in-formation, contact Deirdre Ring, Matawan Recreation Director at 732.566.3898 x130 or at [email protected].

Registration was necessary to participate in the Scarecrow Con-test for which framework and stuffing was supplied. This was a hit with families as well as some individual younger children who “built” their scarecrow to their own specifications.

Entertainment included a puppet show, a sneak peek at snakes, a jamboree, and a little rockers band. Macaroni Anne Cheeze shaped balloons into characters and a pumpkin head stilt-walker strolled the area waving to children. Free activities included a corn maze, canoe-ing at Marlu Lake, disc golf, meeting the beautiful Mustangs, The Puz-zler, and a Zany Zombies game. One of the many highlights each year

is the “Strutt Your Mutt” Costume Contest sponsored by the Friends of the Parks and Garden State Veterinary Specialists of Tinton Falls.

Food vendors were on hand to squelch hunger pangs with lunch or delicious snacks. Monmouth County Sheriff’s Department offered a K-9 demonstration that fascinated the young ones. The family-orient-ed day was filled with socializing for children and adults, fun, laughter, and ways to express creativity. A full six-hour day packed with non-stop activity thrilled the children and tired the adults. Another great Thompson Park Day that was worth the wait!
