Pohl at its May 16 meeting. “These 59 acres will be a great addition to the careful balance of development and nature in Middlesex County,” said Middlesex County Free- holder Director Ronald G. Rios. “We are honored for the opportunity to help Monroe Township in their preservation goal and hope their mission will encourage our residents to take an interest in protecting the environment.” “As a Freeholder, I’m always proud to be part of the effort to preserve nature in Middlesex County. I hail from Monroe, so I know that its residents are committed to protecting its wooded areas and preserving its legacy,” said Freeholder Leslie Koppel, Chair of the Finance Commit- tee.

Whatever your response, he made a momen- tously important move by going there. Composer John Ad- ams responded with an Eng- lish-language opera that imag- ines what happened during the visit. Richard and Pat, Mao and his wife, and Chou En Lai, are human- not historical stereotypes – as they sing about their lives and dreams. This is a side of the men we can’t imagine. RATING B P.S. Two of the four Tony Awards I was rooting for came through. From the play “INK”, Bertie Carvel as Rupert Mur- doch was Best Featured Actor, and Bunny Christie won for Best Scenic Design.

The PBS super-soap “Downton Abby” is now a film and will open at Montgomery Cinema this September. One of the greatest musicals (of all time) 1957’s “West Side Story,” is being re-made by Steven Spielberg. The 1961 movie version starred a lead who couldn’t sing and a hero who couldn’t act.

Have you ever wondered why different plants have special roots? Most roots produce chemicals that combine with common soil fungi to make nutrients for plants. For example, wild orchids, in order to sur- vive, need roots that combine with only specific fungi. That is why orchid specimens dug up in the wild usually don’t make it in the garden. The roots of the walnut tree release chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants, so it is not possible to grow anything under a walnut tree. Barberries and azaleas have compact roots that make them easy to transplant. Hostas have a very tough, dense root system that requires strength and deep digging to dislodge them for transplanting. Epiphytic plants, which hang in trees like orchids, have roots that simply reach down and absorb moisture from the air. Dandelions have a deep AUGUST 2019 – PAGE 10 GREENBRIAR AT WHITTINGHAM VOICE

Calling for Minyan

Volunteers The Minyan Group of Greenbriar at Whittingham has served our community for over 20 years: We need to ensure the presence of ten Jewish residents-men and /or women-at all Shiva minyans. If a family in accordance with their beliefs requires that only men may be counted to constitute a minyan, the Shiva Group will honor that request. You do not have to be fluent in Hebrew to be a part of our group, but we do need your presence. If you wish to be a minyan leader please call: Eddie Thompson at 609-860-2664, Aaron Nitkin at 609-395-7598 or Jim Penzias at 609-860-8344. AUGUST 2019 – PAGE 14 GREENBRIAR AT WHITTINGHAM VOICE

Honor the Day Good Night By Irwin Dunsky By Irwin Dunsky Through squinted eyes you enter my life Good night to all I have loved An uninvited guest, you stroll right in Good night to all who are gone At first light you announce your own birth Missing you is part of my day Offering me the chance to live in your light But I’ll keep singing your song Oh, new day, are you friend or foe? What will you bring me on your white easel? Sweet dreams to you my love In the morning, the future doesn’t exist Sweet dreams to you my friend Welcoming possibility is all that you bring I miss the safety of your arms In my memory you’ll never end

The morning grew old and gave birth to Never forgetting our moments noon Time always passes too fast “Mr. High Sun” showed up right on time Your smiling face lives deep in my heart Afternoon came to visit, draped in a sweater Even though your time has passed Darkness rolled in, sweeping out “Mrs. Blue Skies” A piece of you was given to me With memories locked in my head One day’s lifetime in the book of my life Sharing you wherever I go An insignificant passing for most of my days Your message will not go unread Now that I’m older, its value has increased Honor the day for all that it brings Good night to all I have loved Good night to all who are gone Missing you is part of my day Getting Older Missing you is part of my way By Irwin Dunsky But I’ll keep singing your song As we get older more and more things go wrong with us Our legs and arms begin to hurt it’s normal Family Memories Hips need to be replaced and hearts need By Bill Friedman stents We always called it a day at the beach No parkway no turnpike not easy to reach By the age of seventy most of us have had Early rising ready to load things gone wrong Just to join backup traffic upon hitting the road The cooler with lunch the bags with some The older we get the more that needs to be munch done And the jugs filled with iced tea and punch Be grateful that whatever you need can be Can’t forget 41ite case with towels and clothes done And Coppertone we’d use from our head to our Modern science is here for us, let it be done toes Close your eyes pray it will go right and get it Everything aboard finally on our way done All looking forward to a fabulous day Bumper to bumper oh watta mess Your eyes and cataract surgery and all those We never expected anything less drops At 9am it was already 93 degrees The dentist surgery all those teeth to take All windows down of course no ac care of Crawling along singing a tune All the accidents we have, they must be Wondering if we’d get there by noon taken care of also Alas the sign that said Bradley Beach It’s easy to feel sorry for yourself just move Our destination we were doubting we’d ever out of the way reach Parking took a half hour more

And that with parking two blocks from the Get what you need done and move on shore You’re getting a chance to live another day take it With hands full the boardwalk we’d reach Accept it, giving you another day just do it Had to purchase our badges to get on the Hallelujah to live another day how wonderful beach is that? Temperature mid 90’s sand burning hot Wasn’t easy finding a spot The body wasn’t made to live forever After a while a great spot appeared How great is it that science can fix it? So happy to plant our blankets and chairs All you must do is accept it and let them fix it Into the ocean riding some waves Move out of the way and surrender to the Having a blast hope the weather behaves doctors After an hour just played a hunch That the rest of the family was ready for lunch There are so many pleasures you haven’t Soon after eating nature would call seen yet Twenty-five minutes to enter a stall Children, grandchildren, and family mem- Three more hours swimming with my sister bers to share and brother Don’t cut the possibilities short share them Often joined by our father and mother Parents announced we’d leave in an hour It’s a wonderful life in front of you, enjoy all Time for a last dip and a quick shower of it Heading for home nothing to fear We all expected another nightmare Close your eyes and say yes to people who So very tired hard staying awake want to help Half-way home a pit stop we’d make There Doctors want to help you let them do Each of us getting some snacks and sips their job Enough to last the rest of the trip Put all your things aside and just let go Home at last having emptied the car Get healthy so you can finally sing in the sun Would you believe it had been again A day over par
