President’s Message
Submitted by Carolyn Rubino
As you are aware, Greenbriar has a terrific new Channel 97. We are working on fine-tuning it, so those of you
who do not have cable will be able to download it onto
your computer. Greenbriar is entering the tech age! We
are continuing to work with resolving the DEP issue, they
want one well to be inspected to make sure it’s proper,
then hopefully, we won’t have to do the other 11. As you
might be aware by now we have to piggyback water from
the wells that are operating to cover the areas of those shut
down. Federal Irrigation has started this process so we will
be ready in the spring and summer to fill our water needs.
The contract with Air Systems Maintenance has been officially signed, they have given us a report on our heating
and cooling systems. We will address those concerns in
the future. The Greenbriar Travel Club is underway, look
for the flyer in the paper, and make an effort to join Kathy
and Donna at meetings to have input on trips you would
like to have happen.

1. You know you’re growing old when they’re making
the golf balls heavier and putting flags further away.
2. Barber: “Your hair is getting very gray, sir.”
Customer: I’m surprised. Hurry up!
3. Classified ad: Top executive needed to take charge of
mousetrap company. Must be able to make snap decisions.
4. A four year-old returning home from nursery school
told his mother he learned a new Christmas Carol called
“Dick the Horse”. Puzzled she asked him to sing it.
He took a big breath and began. “Dick the horse with
boughs of holly, fa la la la la...”
5. Laughter is the brush that sweeps away cobwebs
of the heart.

Pictured is the band and director, as well as our Arlene
Smithauser with her grandson, a talented musician.
who missed this presentation, all we can say is “Sorry!!”
Our final meeting guests were the Point Pleasant Beach
Jazz Band under the direction of Mrs. Frtiz, who had her
group performing excellent renditions of the holiday seasonal music. Hat’s off to all the schools who came to us
and did an outstanding job.
We welcomed back one of our super members, Joe
Rodie, who had been recovering from open heart surgery.
It is wonderful to have him back with us, as he is one of
the special people on which the whole club depends.
Kudo’s go to Marie Dibblee who chaired our annual
Christmas Party and her team for a fabulous evening. Special thanks to Ray Nunamacher who had previously chaired
these parties in the past. Thanks go to Keith Franklin of
Neptune our entertainer and Valente Deli of Wall Township

Kiwanis Kapers
By Neil Moran and Barbara Scharmann
We have come to the end of another year and we can
close the books on 2014 and begin a new one in 2015. Our
Kiwanis Club hope all of you had a very Joyous Christmas
and recieved everything you wished for, somehow or other
we don’t remember wishing for two containers of coal.
Oh Well!!!
We only had 3 meetings in December with Christmas
and New Year’s falling on a Thursday. Our first guests
were the Brick High School, under the direction of Paul
Bibleheimer who led 20 students from his very select choral group who sang some traditional Christmas carols and
finished off with some songs from the Broadway Stage.
Their chorus was indeed outstanding.
The following week we were literally overwhelmed by
the School of Performing Arts who came with two bus loads
of performers totaling 73 students who literally knocked our
socks off with their renditions of several Christmas carols,
holiday music and even did several dance numbers of the
holiday season from Broadway musicals. For those of you

A couple was invited to a swanky costume party.
BULLETIN
Unfortunately, the wife came down with a terrible
headache and told her husband to go to the party alone.
He being a devoted husband protested, but she
argued and said she was going to take some aspirin
and go to bed and there was no need for his good time
being spoiled by not going.
So he took his costume and away he went..
The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an
hour, awakened without pain and, as it was still early
enough, decided to go to the party. Since her husband
did not know what her costume was, she thought she
would have some fun by watching her husband to see
how he acted when she was not with him. She joined
the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting
around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice
woman he could, and copping a little touch here and
a little kiss there.
His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and

Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear
and she agreed. So off they went to one of the cars
and had a quickie.

Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped
away, went home, put the costume away and got into
bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would
make for his behavior.

asked what kind of #13VH01616200
a time he had.
He said: “Oh, the same old thing. You know I never
have a good time when you’re not there.”
“Did you dance much?”
TABLOID
“You know, I never even danced one dance. When
I got there, I met Pete, Bill Browning and some other
guys, so we went into the den and played poker all
evening. But, you’re not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to.”

Who Knew Patricia Cavallo
and her daughter, Theresa Paterno enjoy serving scones and
tea at The Scone Shoppe in the
Laural Square Plaza.
Patricia has lived in Greenbriar since 2011 and loves it here.
She came to live in Greenbriar
after she had hip surgery, lived
with one daughter for 11/2 years
and then another daughter for 11/2
years and decided she needed a
house all on one floor. We all know how wonderful our
homes are and being on one floor is a good reason to live
here. However, Patricia says another reason is the location.
It is so convenient.
Patricia was a stay at home Mom with three girls, Lisa,
Theresa, and Patricia. Who knew that her love of baking,
having company, and entertaining would also become one
of Theresa’s passions.
Patricia’s husband was an only child but Patricia has
2 sisters and three brothers (one of 6), and brags she has
80 nieces and nephews, add her brothers, sisters, childern,
and in-laws and there are 110 total. They see each other
often during the year. One of her grandchildren was turning 5 in December, and they decided to have his birthday
celebration in July with a pool party. There were 115 family
members enjoying the fun.
Patricia will gladly show you family pictures adorning
The Scone Shoppe walls, introducing you to her parents and
grandparents as she shares stories of the fine china that has
been handed down in the family. Who knew that some of
this fine china is being used in the Scone Shoppe? Theresa
inherited her Great Grandmother’s china, something that
still makes her smile as she talks about it.
Theresa explains that she traveled all over the world
visiting teashops, and has incorporated many ideas in The
Scone Shoppe. For instance, you will find linen table cloths,
napkins, a luxurious look with fine china cups, teapots and
decorations. “I think the coolest thing is to have afternoon
tea. It is so different from my Italian background. It never
ceases to amaze me the enjoyment of having tea and enjoying each other’s company brings. Today’s woman is so
busy. Who takes out their china and uses it? But women
will come in, eat lunch, visit with each other, and enjoy
tea. It is a treat to be in a tearoom setting. Women need
this more than ever”
Who Knew that it would be like mother, like daughter?

February is a special month - not just because of expected cold weather or possible snow banks, but due to its special
dates - February 14, Valentine’s Day and February 22, Washington’s Birthday.
The history of Valentine’s day is clouded by various fanciful legends and it was not until the 14th Century that this
Christian feast day became associated with love. Chaucer is said to have been the first to link St. Valentine’s Day with
romance. In 1969 the feast days of saints whose history was questionable were removed, St. Valentine was one of the
casualties. Read more at http://www.infoplease.com/spot/valentinesdayhistory.html
Today we are expected to at least send our special friend a card or a gift. You’ll find a wide choice of free cards at
www.123Greetings.com or if your friend has a smartphone or a tablet they might like a VENTEV POWER DASH r900,
a very cool USB battery/charger for the car. Get it at Amazon, or TigerDirect.com for $27.50.
I found the most complete and interesting history of Valentine’s Day, including pictures of antique and vintage
Valentine cards at http://en.WIKIPEDIA.org/wiki/Valentine’sDay. Wikipedia also noted that Islamic Officials in certain
Muslim countries have banned the production of any goods relating to this day (cards with hearts, red roses, etc) because
the celebration of romantic love is “not suitable” for Muslims.
The American Holiday, February 22, was originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, who was born on that day in 1732. In the 1970s it became known as President’s Day, honoring Abraham Lincoln &
others. This Holiday was scheduled to become a part of a 3-Day weekend for workers and then retailers were able to use
that Holiday to promote sales. A number of N.J. Schools are closed for Presidents week, so if you have Grandkids visiting - check out these Activities: www.visitnj.org/trip-idea/liberty-science-center for a list of their exciting new exhibits;
or visit www.NewarkMuseum.org Newark for fun-filled family programs or the Planetarium Show.

Let’s Meet: Adele and Albert Ardolino
By Joyce Leach
Adele and Albert “Bert” Ardolino proudly boast 70
years of marriage. She grew up in Belmar and he grew
up in Neptune, NJ. They met when Adele was 14, while
she worked in the Allenhurst pharmacy-luncheonette. He
worked in the local grocery store and delivered fruits and
veggies to the pharmacy. She says he “really looked good”
and he thought the same about her. The next summer, Bert
got her a job as a cashier at the grocery store.
Adele remembers in 1946 they bought their first home
in Neptune on the GI Bill, no money down, and their mortgage payment was $42.75 a month, taxes included. Bert
delivered bread in Seaside and Neptune, was a presser in
a uniform shop, and eventually went to work for Consolidated Water as a serviceman. He remembers pipes frozen
in the midst of winter and spent many days “lying in the
snow thawing pipes, until they thawed out.” “I remember
one house in Interlaken that had a bad meter. When I got
to the house the owner said that the son had let a squirrel
into the house and asked if I could help them out. I had to
find the squirrel and get him out of the room filled with
toys, skis, and stuff. The owner called the Company and
got my name and gifted me with a big basket at Christmas.”
Adele worked for the telephone company for 35 years.
“I worked the switchboard at night while the kids were
growing up. Then I was assigned to Princeton for 8 years
in the customer service department, trained new people
and introduced new systems throughout New Jersey.”
“One terrible experience on the day shift was when a little
boy, 7 years old, from Pt. Pleasant called screaming that
his mom was trying to kill him, she had gas in the garage
and he couldn’t get out.” Adele contacted the police and
they were able to locate the house, finding the boy and his
mother, both unconscious, lying in a closed garage with
the car running. They requested an ambulance from Adele,
who was able to quickly send one over. The police stated
that the telephone call had saved the lives of both mother
and son. “This was so traumatic and I always wondered
what happened to that boy.”
In 1982 Adele and Bert both retired to their home in
Neptune, moving to Greenbriar in 1991. When asked how
they managed to make their marriage last 70 years, they say
you have to overlook a lot. Let things go in one ear and out
the other. He played a lot of golf (Woodlake Country Club
and Forge Pond of late). He met the challenge of shooting
his age on the golf course, 75 years old. He shot a 75. This
was reported in the Asbury Park Press. Bert adds, “It helps
to have a great sense of humor.” Bert plays cards, including
poker on Wednesday night and every day he is not golfing,
and is a great storyteller. Adele plays bridge, enjoys going
to Atlantic City and grocery shopping.
They boast they traveled from New Jersey to Delray
Beach, Florida for 15 years. “Can you imagine in 1984 we
traveled to 7 countries and it cost $1500? We also enjoyed
traveling to Hawaii to visit relatives, San Francisco, and
Vegas.” Now they just stay in Jersey enjoying their two
daughters, Nancy and Lynn. “Most of all we have enjoyed
Greenbriar since 1991.” “Life is good.”

Anna’s Spiritual Garden
The Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor was a guest on Oprah’s
Super Soul Sunday, where she takes issue with “Spiritualists,” who talk about the importance of “the journey.” She
states, “if they focus on the journey, they are focused on
the destination.” This is untrue!!
Spiritualists do not focus on the destination, because
this is not where life happens. “Life” happens on the
journey!! This is where we learn, fall down, get up, love,
laugh, cry, dance, and hopefully choose the path we take,
at any given time.
I am aware that sometimes we don’t get to choose
every path we are on. Sometimes, life for whatever reason,
presents us with challenges, that are difficult, such as life
threatening illnesses, falls with broken bones, etc.
Some of my loved ones, dearest friends, and neighbors
in Greenbriar are on such a path. You all know who you
are, and you are all truly Amazing!! Every day I see you
put one foot in front of the other and you all, “keep on ,
keeping on.” I see you focus on your journey, because that
is where your healing occurs. I see you finding reasons to
hope, smile, and even dance. You are all doing the best
you can, and I believe your best will be Good Enough!!
Again, you are all amazing role models. You show how to
go through the dark night, and wait for the dawn. The dawn
always comes! Remember, You Are All Loved!! See you
on the Path, Love and Peace, Anna

Greenbriar Association Treasurers Monthly Report
Book Club News
By Pat McClendon
The book discussed at the December 10th meeting
was “I Feel Bad About My Neck” by Nora Ephron. It is a
delightful collection of short stories about her take on what
it’s like to be a “woman of a certain age”
She discusses things such as buying an expensive purse
in Paris, and her experience with cuisine and cooking and
entertaining. Her essay on “Maintenance” addresses her
displeasure with her sagging neck and having to wear
scarves and turtlenecks and realizing that in order to do
something about it would require a full face-lift which she
isn’t ready to do.
Each of her stories gives the reader a witty, urbane look
at her take on being a woman.
Most of the group found they could relate to at least
one or more of her essays and enjoyed her views on how
women approach and deal with the inevitability of aging.
The book we are reading for the January 14th meeting
is “The Secret Keeper” by Kate Morton.

Straight Horizons
This is the time of year when many of us travel to
warmer places. This gives us the opportunity to shoot
some landscapes and seascapes of the places we visit. It is
very important to make certain you hold your camera level
on this type of shot so the horizon is straight and level.
Having a tilted horizon line is especially important
when shooting sunrises and sunsets. If the horizon is tilted
(even slightly) it will make the image seem unnatural and
give it an unbalanced feel.
It is also important to keep your camera level when
shooting indoors. Horizontal lines, such as a fireplace
mantel, molding, or door frames, that are not level will
make your images less appealing. When photographing,
take your time and make certain your composition is good
and level.
That’s it for this month. As always you can email me
with any questions at [email protected]. If
you’d like to see more of my images you can visit my site
at www.KirmsPhotography.com . Remember to keep
shooting and trying to improve your images, but most
importantly, have fun with your camera.

CAFÉ NIGHT
The December Cafe Night was lots of fun. Everyone looked festive and was ready for a good time. The music and
dancing was superb. If you have not come out to a Cafe Night, you’re missing a good time. Think about it....

Fifty Years...WOW
by George Delmarmo
On December Twenty-sixth my sisters and I
traveled to West Virginia for a fiftieth wedding anniversary. In this day and age when many of us have
divorced, it was indeed a unique experience. The biggest thrill of the trip was to meet a lot of the people
who were at the wedding...of course there were many
who weren’t there...and to meet the many guests who
were new to the party. The new ones included the
families of the couple we were there to honor. This
group included the children...grandchildren...and great

Sculpture,

Light
couple
to dance to the Anniversary
Waltz...and then
called for other couples who were married for fifty

and over years...forty...thirty...etc. Personally I was
saddened by the fact that and
the Goodmore
Lord denied me
that thrill, but that will be for me and Him to resolve.

THE GREENBRIAR TIMES FEBRUARY 2015
WINTER HAS ARRIVED; BE
PREPARED
Prepare now to take the sting out of the winter
weather; here are some things you can do to get ready:
• Store drinking water, first aid kit, canned/
no-cook food, non-electric can opener, radio,
flashlight and extra batteries where you can get
them easily, even in the dark.
• Keep cars and other vehicles fueled and in good
repair, with a winter emergency kit in each.
• Get a NOAA Weather Radio to monitor severe
weather.
• Know ahead of time what you should do to
help elderly or disabled friends, neighbors or
employees.
• Winterize your house, barn, shed or any other
structure that may provide shelter for your family, neighbors, livestock or equipment. Install
storm shutters, doors and windows; clear rain
gutters; repair roof leaks; and check the structural ability of the roof to sustain unusually
heavy weight from the accumulation of snow--or
water, if drains on flat roofs do not work.
• Also remember that dressing in layers is important when the temperatures drop. Experts
recommend wearing several layers of loosefitting, lightweight, warm clother rather than one
layer of heavy clothing. Outer garments should
be tightly woven and water-repellent. Mittens
are warmer than gloves. Wear a hat. Cover your
mouth with a scarf to protet your lungs from
etremely cold air. Wear sturdy, waterproof boots
in snow or flooding conditions.
• And remember that if you lose your power and
are using kerosene heaters make sure you maintain ventilation to avoid build-up of toxic fumes.
Keep heaters at least three feet from flammable
objects and refuel kerosene heaters outside.
