President’s Report Submitted by Carolyn Rubino Ooh October, bright fall colors, cooler air, and thoughts of more indoor activities to amuse us. This month there are two events to keep us entertained: Vinnie Talarico presented by the Entertainment Committee and of course a Halloween Cafe Nite. See you there! At the August Trustee meeting Mayor Ducey spoke of issues concerning Greenbriar and Brick itself. He informed us that the large empty stores that were formerly Pathmark and A&P are under contract negotiations; Pathmark to become a food store, and the A&P a women’s apparel outlet. Also affecting us in the Brick community is the completion of the Parkway and exit 91. The Mayor informed us that the town is not being told any new information. Maybe, by the time you are reading this, things have changed! Here in Greenbriar, signs were straightened, roads were patched, and curbs were inspected. It is helpful having the Mayor come and address us. He is also looking into the catch basin at the Lake. All in all the meeting was productive and informative. Yes indeed, there are fox, deer, and coyotes roaming around Greenbriar along with our regular squirrels and chipmunks. Please do not attempt to befriend these wild animals! The snow season is arriving. If you have a medical necessity for having your driveway plowed please have your doctor’s letter in the office as soon as possible. The list is getting large so please be honest in this matter. We have residents with very real medical needs for getting emergency plowing. Bulk pickup and excessive cardboard is a planned pickup. The trucks will not stop for these extra items on a regular Monday. Call the DPW to schedule and they will come. Please be aware of your neighbors, be safe yourself (SLOW DOWN) and enjoy yourself!

Submitted by Pat McClendon What 3 people, famous or not, living or dead, would you want at your fantasy dinner party and why? Ann Fogler - I would like to meet and talk to Jackie Kennedy because she had class, style and grace and also a deep inner strength; she was a beautiful person. Queen Elizabeth because she is a very impressive person and has kept her country together. Last, but not least, is Mother Teresa because of her compassion, caring, charity and untiring work she did for the poor and unfortunate. Betty Zimmer - I would love to have my three deceased siblings - Samuel, Jeanie and Malcolm - to dinner just to sit and talk about the good times we had growing up. I love them and miss them. Briarpatch Garden Submitted by Joe Bayer The summer crop is finished. We suffered through too much rain, too little rain and some thievery. It was a great year anyway. We had super-sized zucchini, tomatoes, corn plants and sunflowers. Our group is very congenial, responsible, diligent and professional. Some fall vegetables will be planted for October harvest such as radishes and lettuce. Pictured are Ray Nunamacher showing several 14 foot Mexican Corn plants and Bill Petrolino with hot peppers Paulina Tuozzo - Tim Conway because he makes me laugh and I love to laugh! Fred Astaire because I love to dance. My late husband and I used to go dancing and we even won trophies; I loved dancing with him. Perry Como because he was a romantic singer and I love to sing. I sang in a choral group when I was in school. 4 THE GREENBRIAR TIMES OCTOBER 2016 1759 Route 88 West Brick, NJ 08724 732-920-6060 Greenbriar's Preferred Real Estate Company And an Award Winning Salesperson **PLEASE CALL ** Susan Cowan-Mallon Cell# 732-306-6062 E-mail: [email protected] • Periodontal disease can effect all areas of your health including your heart! • Call to schedule a complete Perio evaluation with Dr. Eisen and Dr. Zirkin to start your road to better health! • We specialize in implants for missing teeth or for denture placement. • We accept most insurances and will work with you to customize a payment plan to suit your needs.

Member FINRA & SIPC ads-4422 The Electoral College by Jim Mack Many people still think that when, on Election Day, they place an ‘x’ next to the presidential candidate of their choice they are voting directly for that person. Not quite! The presidential election is the only one in the United States where the voters do not have the right to vote directly for their candidate. Governors, senators, members of Congress, mayors are chosen by a majority of popular votes but presidents are not. What is the Electoral College? First of all it is not a “College” or a “University” When on Election Day the citizens vote for President they are actually voting for electors, selected by the political parties; pledged to the parties’ candidate. The number of electors for each party equals the combined number of that state’s U.S. senators and representatives. New Jersey has 14 electoral votes. The candidate getting the majority of the popular vote gets all the electoral votes of that state. There are a total 538 electors throughout the country. A candidate must win at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. About six weeks after the election, electors meet at their state capitals to cast their ballots directly for president. (If no candidate for president has a 270 vote majority then the House of Representatives chooses the president.) Does it work? For the most part, yes it does work; however there have been three elections where a candidate has won the popular vote but failed to win the 270 electoral votes. The last time was in the 2000 election. Al Gore had 51,003,894 popular votes to 50,459,211 for George Bush, but Bush had 271 electoral votes to Gore’s 267. That doesn’t sound fair. The Electoral College is authorized in the 12th amendment to our constitution. Our founding fathers that signed the Declaration of Independence and formed the Constitution were perhaps the smartest group of people this country ever had. What was their reasoning for choosing indirect elections? They feared that the states with the largest populations would control elections. If today the voters in California, New York, Texas, Florida and Illinois would agree on one candidate then the smaller states such as Wyoming, Iowa, Utah and New Jersey would have little or no say as to who would become president. As it is today each state large or small has a distinctive roll in choosing the leader of our country. Remember George Bush won his first election by one vote over the minimum required. The divergent states of Alaska, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Delaware and Vermont each are alotted three electoral votes which could possibly change any election and the history of this country. Can the Electoral College be abolished? Critics argue that the Electoral College is archaic, and gives certain swing states, like Ohio, undue influence in selecting the president. Proponents argue that the Electoral College is very important and that it protects the rights of smaller states. In order to amend the Constitution, the amendment must be approved by a 2/3rd majority vote of Congress and then is sent to each state for ratification by the states’ Legislatures. Approval is required by 3/4 of the states or 30 out of 50. It is almost certain that each of the small states would vote against giving up what leverage they have in the elections. It’s safe to say that the Electoral College, with all its flaws, is here to stay. Did You Know? 1. 2. 3. 4. Submitted by Pat McClendon Your liver has over 500 functions.

Reading over the 2015 raffle distribution, I was unhappily amazed at the total of $1,943.00 collected and distributed to needy causes last year. There are 1400 homes in Greenbriar, if every home bought at $10.00 book of tickets, that would put the distribution amount at $14,000 instead of under $2,000. Yes, I realize there are seniors on fixed incomes living here, but come on, people, we can certainly do better than last year! You or a family member may one day be on the receiving end of the great work Kiwanis does, so open your hearts and wallets and buy those raffle tickets! Remember, the more you give, the more is returned to you! You may even win a prize for your generosity. J.

Entertainment Night Submitted by Carolyn Rubino The Cameos came to Greenbriar in August to the delight of the many fans they have here. They sang songs that we all knew and hummed along with them.

Book Club News By Pat McClendon and Martha Olowiany The book discussed at the August 10th meeting was “Fires in the Dark” by Louise Doughty. This novel follows the lives of a nomadic Romany family. Emil, the light-skinned first born of th leader of the Kalderash Roma Tribe, is born in 1927 just as the Nazi regime is coming to power in Europe. His family is eventually incarcerated in a Moravian labor camp and suffers unspeakable cruelty and eventual death. Emil is the only one of his family to survive and escapes to Prague where, because of his light skin and false papers, he is able to assimilate into the populous and live out his life. Most of the members liked the book but thought it was too descriptive in the details of the torture that the people endured in the concentration camps. They felt it was over-powering at times. Many didn’t realize that the Gypsies, along with many other groups considered to be “impure” were targeted by the Nazis during the ethnic cleansing process and wondered how some of them survived the horrific conditions that occured there. This book is not for everyone; it could be too graphic and upsetting for some, and is very realistc in content. The book we are reading for the September 14th meeting is “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein. Plus lunch & snacks for purchase provided by our Veteran’s Association.

Kiwanis Kapers Submitted by Neil Moran + Barbara Scharmann Can you believe it!! Summer is gone; where did it go? Can you believe it’s fall already! Everybody out of the pool until next year. Our Kiwanis Club only met twice during August but those meetings were memorable due to the fact that we had Philip Boltz, “Mr. Smoothy”, at the piano. Talk about Eddy Duchin or Carmen Cavallaro, wow! His program was all about music from the movies. He got a standing ovation which he rightly deserved. He is one of a kind! Jane Irving, was our next guest. She normally brings the Coral Group from St. Dominic’s school but this time she came alone. She entertained us with songs from the Broadway Stage which included selections from Oklahoma and Phantom of the Opera. Work on the annual Greenbriar Phone Book, which is under the direction of Dennis McGinnis, has finally been completed and thanks go to him for a job well done. As in past years the phone book has a special page for boosters and also a special page for Memorials. Barbara would like to thank everyone who signed up for the Booster or Memorial pages as the amount derived from these two pages help fund Kiwanis charity work. Our members will be delivering them to each house during September. Also enclosed in the package is our annual raffle chaired by Joe Carlin, and 3 happy winners will be drawn later in the year. Thanks go to Rosalie Rabito for another successful Atlantic City trip. October is the month where we have “changing of the guard”. This is our time to thank Bob Gannon for the wonderful year he served as our president and to swear in our new president Marie Dibblee. Kiwanis is indeed extremely fortunate to have such fantastic leaders. This year’s luncheon will be held at the Spring Lake Manor and will be chaired by Georgia Murray. As always we look forward to programs every week secured by Neil Moran, and we will leave the light on for you should you wish to attend one of our meetings. The names of Art and Judy Cullen and Jeane Crone should have been part of the Booster page in the 2016-2017 telephone book.

In October 2008 Pat Herlihy wrote a memo about the origins of the Greenbriar Computer Club: Excerpted from her memo: “The Greenbriar Computer Club came into existence in the late 1990s as an outgrowth of the Scientists and Engineers Club. It served a population that was anxious to learn about this new world that was unfolding in front of their eyes. The club began with the donations of resident’s equipment.” Residents who were knowledgeable were willing to share their information. Some of them updated the donated computers and loaned them to some residents for instruction. Some members were able to solve problems that new computer users were encountering. In a world so new, everyone was able to help and everyone was able to learn. A good mixture and the basis of many new friendships in Greenbriar, which is a good reason for the existence of such a club. In its beginning, we were all huddled around one or two computers to learn of its many potentials. In 2003, the members chipped in to purchase a used projector. Now, we could present information and instructions to a much larger audience. We tried the World Wide Web. We experimented with WebTV and the first uses of digital cameras. Now we are holding our elections online, and also distribute our minutes of the meetings and treasurer’s report online. Topics of many kinds are presented. Even our Greenbriar Times monthly magazine is available to us online. Yes, we are proud and excited about the Greenbriar Computer Club. I believe it is serving the community well. My own first experience with our Computer Club was in the Spring of 2002. I had moved to Greenbriar ofs Installed • New Siding in September 2001. Installed At the meeting, I remember Pat demonstrated how 24 Hour Emergency Repairs to use Computer Clean-Up, and she emphasized its ializingimportance. in Storm Damage Repairs Members sat at two separate computers at opposite ail Roofends Leaks Siding of•the room.Repairs They demonstrated how to send an e-mail and how then to save, store and reply to that e-mail. The Club had its first Annual Picnic in Flo Saviello’s backyard on August 20, 2008, when she still lived on Central Blvd. The 9th Annual Picnic was held on August 18, 2016. The club will also hold its 9th annual Christmas party this year. Over the past years, a number of different people have been named as Officers of the Club, or taking an active part in its functions. Marilyn Lombardi, Barry Johnson, Jim Mechtel, Mary Lou Gravatt and others. Mrs. Dorothy Bett had been the Computer Club News person before my assignment to it. In 2007, Joel Strasser edited and published a Computer Club Newsletter which had local library and other computer news. In Octover 2006, Dick Saviello was lsited as Treasurer of the Club. In October 2007, he was listed as President. Dick has been instrumental in initiating a number of things that have been beneficial to the Club and also to Greenbriar. In the spring of 2002, Dick met with Comcast to explore Internet access for the Club, which was not yet available to the Computer Club. In August 2002 Comcast agreed to provide three complimentary hispeed hook-ups. This was very well received by all members. Also, in 2002 our Computer Club affiliated with www.activeyoungseniors.com, joining several other Senior Community Computer Clubs in Ocean County for their activities. Perhaps you have some information about “the old days” you would like to share. If so, please let us know and we will pass it on. Computer Club Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month at 1:30pm. Refreshments will be served.

Joe is a deep thinker, and someone I enjoy conversing with. We were talking about attitudes, when he said something I thought was profound, because of how attitude effects what we communicate. Well Joe, I have a wonderful mentor, who states it best! Attitdue by Charles Swindoll: “The longer I live, I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is, more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day, regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way, and we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do, is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it! And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes!!! So Joe, I trust your profound statement, “We should all leave our attitudes at the gate.” See you on the path, love and peace, Anna Trivia Answers 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

OCTOBER 2016 THE GREENBRIAR TIMES 26 OCTOBER 2016 THE GREENBRIAR TIMES 27 Let’s Meet: Robert Mundie As many of his Greenbriar neighbors, Robert was born in Jersey City. His great-grandfather, Cormac Brogan, left Belfast in 1849 to work as a blacksmith in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. The next generation moved to New Jersey to find safer employment. Robert grew up in colorful downtown Bayonne in the 50’s and 60’s. He graduated St. Peter College, got married and moved to Woodbridge. Robert commuted to Manhattan to work for an import-export company. By the time he was thirty, his marriage was over and he was ready for a big change. He drove his ‘76 Mustang cross country with a promise of a job interview in California. That twist of fate led him to five years in San Francisco, seven years in Denver and a year in Dallas. Robert came back to Greenbriar to help care for his 90 year old father. When Robert’s dad died, Robert stayed on in Greenbriar and we’re so glad he did! He’s a member of Kiwanis, volunteers at bingo, and helps with the in-house TV station. Robert enjoys many of Greenbriar’s amenities, including the pool and the gym. The things that keep Robert busy are his guitar playing, keeping up with Dilbert, technology, and bike riding. He attends music concerts and was at Woodstock in the 60’s, has seen Janis Joplin, The Who, Bruce, Rolling Stones, Dylan, and many other rock bands. Robert enjoys traveling three times a year. This year so far he has been to Columbia, Greece and Spain. He’s been all over Europe, also Israel, Egypt, Syria, India, China, Australia, Indonesia, and Peru. Singapore is on his list for the near future! After all his wanderings, Robert claims he’s always happy to return to Greenbriar.

OCTOBER 2016 THE GREENBRIAR TIMES 34 TOTAL EXPENSES OCTOBER 2016 THE GREENBRIAR TIMES 35 “Sue’s Smile Corner” Submitted by: Sue Barrett After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Walmart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women; she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Walmart. Dear Mrs. Woolf, Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. we cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Woolf, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras. 1. July 2: Set all the alarms in Housewares to go off at 5 minute intervals. 2. August 4: Went to the service desk and tried to reserve a bag of chips. 3. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers they could come in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department - to which twenty children obliged. 4. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, “Why can’t you people just leave me alone?” Emergency Medics were called. 5. September 5: Looked right into the security camera and use it as a mirror while he picked his nose. 6. September 10: While handling guns in the sports department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were. 7.
