THINGS GET HAIRY IN NOVEMBER FUNDRAISER

Families who donate $25 to the cause can sign a police vehicle.

Roadway, Drainage Projects Move Along In Howell
By Daniel Nee HOWELL – Numerous projects focused on improving drainage and road conditions in Howell have been moving along on schedule, with some already completed, said James R. Herrman, the township’s Director of Community Development. One of the most important projects nearing completion is the improvements to a number of “S” curbs along Kent Road, which officials have said led to dangerous driving conditions and an elevated number of accidents. Earlier this fall, work began to build a slight curve realignment to the roadway in

order to improve motorists’ safety. The project also included superelevation – grading the roadway so vehicles will be more likely to stay in their assigned lanes during curves – as well as drainage installation, partial curb work and full pavement reconstruction, Herrman said. The project, by the first week of November, was “substantially complete,” though crews from Lucas Brothers, the contractor working on the project, was still completing some final “punch list” items. Now that the roadway is safer, Herrman said, motorists can expect to see a larger police presence (Project - See Page 5)

Democrat Earns Mayor Spot
By Jennifer Peacock HOWELL – In races decided by several hundred votes or less, Howell will have a Democrat for mayor and new Republican councilman. Theresa Berger edged out Republican Daniel J. Cardellichio for mayor, by fewer than 900 votes, getting 11,072 votes against Cardellichio’s 10,282 votes. Patience Nolan, who ran as an independent, received 612 votes. Officials reported 17 write-in votes, according to unofficial results. Republican Evelyn M. O’Donnell, who ran for a council seat, received 10,780 votes, barely notching out Democrat Joseph Montella, who received 10,621 votes.
Officials reported 9 write-in votes. Mayor William Gotto and councilman Edward Guz chose not to seek reelection. In the school board race, Howell Board of Education vice president Mark Bonjavanni held onto his seat 10,149 votes. Newcomer Cristy Mangano, who ran last year as well, won a seat with 10,145 votes. The third seat went to Laurence Gurman with 6,771 votes. Ira Thor received 6,289 votes and Angel D. Sanchez re–Photo courtesy ceived 5,561 votes.

The landscaping work was completed in late September and signage was completed in September, said Herrman. The next step in improving the area will likely consist of engaging Monmouth County officials in an attempt to have d rai nage systems i nst alled in the area. Currently, said Herrman, there is no drainage, which complicates the improvements made to the area since the f low of water leads to Lakewood-Farmingdale Road, also known as County Route 547. “The County has been contacted to start review of 547 for possible drainage system installation,” Herrman said.

Sexual Assault Knows No Political Party
Bragging about groping and sexually assaulting someone is no laughing matter, regardless of one’s political affiliation. We’ve certainly seen headlines over the years highlighting such inappropriate behaviors from both Republican and Democrat officials, and many of us have heard similar things from individuals not in the public realm, and it is simply not acceptable. Bottom line, no one deserves to be sexually assaulted or raped, and these crimes can affect anyone. In fact, U.S. Department of Justice data indicates that as many as 1 in 5 women will have been raped in
their lifetimes, and 1 in 33 men will have been raped. The numbers of those experiencing sexual assault is even greater. Individuals who’ve experienced rape or sexual assault are at higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorders, depression and anxiety, and even suicide. We encourage anyone affected by sexual assault or rape to call our hotline at 888-264-RAPE as help is a phone call away. For more information about our services our website is 180nj.org.

Letters To The Editor You May Say That I’m A Dreamer I’ve just completed my Christmas wish list, albeit a little bit early this year. First, I’d like to see mandatory “term limits” for all elected officials. Secondly, that research scientists come up with an over-the-counter, nonprescription vaccine that would cure Hillary Clinton of an affliction she’s had all her adult life – that is her inability to tell the truth. To put her condition in more sophisticated terms – “liar, liar, pants on fire!” Next, I’d be willing to relinquish one of my Christmas presents in favor of a “bag of coal” being put under Donald Trump’s Christmas tree this year, for the way he has treated many women. Mr. Trump is a lot dumber than he is given credit for. Another nice holiday present would be for the clergy to tell the truth; that they know nothing about life after death, nothing about heavens or hells, nothing about the destiny of humankind and nothing about devils, gods or angels. I would have them convey to their congregations – think for yourself, and do the best you can to increase the sum of human happiness and well-being. One of the nicest holiday gifts I ever received (and still have), is a framed quote by Robert Ingersoll which reads: “Happiness is the only good; reason the only torch; justice the only worship; humanity the only religion; and love the
only priest. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to help make others so.” Borden Applegate Jackson
Yellow Lines Matter It is outrageous that some New Jersey communities such as Mahwah in Bergen County and Mantua Township in Gloucester, are painting a blue line in between the double yellow lines on the road, to indicate unwavering support for police, amidst so many mostly black citizens being murdered by police officers. These municipal governments risk confusing drivers with such an unknown marking, threatening road safety, and sending a negative message towards minority groups and others who have called for much needed reform in U.S. policing. As long as these lines are present, no one should face a traffic ticket for improper passing, because the lines are confusing and obscured with this town-sponsored vandalism that sends a chilling message to black drivers.

especially over “inequalities” in the percent of state aid given to different districts. Public education in New Jersey is funded chief ly through local property taxes and State aid, with a comparatively small amount of Federal funding. School property taxes are collected by taxing municipalities and then paid to the school districts in which students from those municipalities are enrolled. State aid is paid directly by the state to school districts according to the shortfall between what the state judges is required to provide a thorough and efficient education for each and every student within a district and the amount raised through local property taxes. The primary goal of state aid to public education is to provide equal opportunity to all students to a thorough and efficient education regardless of wealth or social status, taking into consideration their educational needs. The administration of state aid by the state is apportioned to school districts to a number of educational categories in accordance with district need as assessed by the state from data supplied by school districts. The most important comparative index of a tax base’s ability to support the cost of public education is the tax base dollars behind each public school student in a school district. Districts having a higher tax base dollar amount per student can more fully fund the school district at a given tax rate, all other things being equal, than those having a lower tax base dollar amount per student. Thus, school districts having a higher tax base dollar amount per student will require less and will receive proportionately less state aid to provide a thorough and efficient education to its students than those school districts having a lower tax base dollar amount per student. When viewed from this perspective, state aid
has been given equitably to make up the shortfall, even though the percentages of state aid differ. An inference drawn from this is that communities having atypically few public school students (senior communities) must expect to receive a lower percentage of state aid than other more representative communities. And owing to the regressive nature of property taxes, low income and seniors on relatively fixed incomes will be hit hardest. To address this problem, the state has instituted property tax rebates and property tax freezes to qualified seniors. Nevertheless, the issue of “fairness” has been raised once again, this time, by Governor Christie with his proposal to fund each student the same dollar amount in state aid. Assuming that he is not ignorant, he has challenged the authority of the state to determine what a thorough and efficient education means for all New Jersey students. You can judge for yourself how far he will get by doing that – especially now that his term of office is coming to a close and as he continues to turn his attention more and more to his future political aspirations. Local politicos, who are so inclined, will continue to pay lip service to the Christie proposal while secretly praying for him to move on. Frank V Effenberger Manchester

Singer Bill To Study, Improve New Jersey’s Tourism
Senator Robert W. Singer
NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer (R-Ocean, Monmouth) to find new ways to promote and improve New Jersey’s tour-
ism destinations was advanced by the Senate State Government, Wagering, To u r i s m a n d H i s t o r i c Preservation Committee. “ New Jersey has t he attractions and facilities it needs to draw in people from across the country and around the world. We have the best beaches, amazing amusement parks
and some absolutely world class sporting facilities,” Singer said. “But to grow our tourism economy we need more than just nice attractions. We need to p r o m ot e o u r s t a t e fo r things like convention and agricultural tourism. If we take a closer look, I think we’ll be able to show people that we are more than

just a great place to spend your summer vacation.” Tourism is the single largest industry in New Jersey, valued at more than $42 billion. This bill only sets the table for the state to take advantage of its attractions in ways that aren’t already being done. The legislation, S-1119, establishes the Office of
Tourism Research, which will operate u nder t he Division of Travel and Tourism. The office will take steps to improve advertising, marketing, research and training for tourism-related businesses. It would also set up a database of potential visitors and work with people in the industry to
find better ways to serve those tourists. “The truth is that we’re not doing as much as we can to attract people from o u t of s t a t e ,” S e n a t o r Singer said. “This will help u s moder n i ze t he way the industr y seeks out t ravelers and f inds ways to entice them to visit.”

Rible Pleased With Passage Of Long-Awaited Tax Cuts
TR ENTON – Assembly man David R ible, the Assembly Republic a n c on fe r e nc e le a de r (R-Monmouth), released the following statement following the Assembly vote on tax reform:
“These long-awaited tax cut s were ha rd ea r ned and will help residents keep more of their money and ultimately put more back into our economy. The reform plan lowers t a xe s for se n ior s, vet-
erans, small businesses and low-income workers wh ile g iv i ng New Jerseyans the largest broadbased tax cut since 1994. This means we can maint a i n a n d i m p r ove o u r transportation network,
which plays a vital role in our economic well-being and quality of life, while ma k i ng it much easier for residents to remain in New Jersey, instead of r elo c a t i ng t o ot h e r states.”

From The Desk Of Freeholder Serena DiMaso NEWARK – Monmouth County Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso delivered testimony to the NJ Transit Board of Directors on October 13 strongly opposing the Jersey Central Power & Light Company (JCP&L) Monmouth County Reliability Project. DiMaso provided the i n for m at ion on b eh a l f of the Board of Chosen Fr e e h o l d e r s . O n J u l y 14, the Board of Chosen Freeholders unanimously a dopt e d Re s olut ion #2016-6026 opposing the Reliability Project. “The current $111 million plan calls for a 230 kilovolt transmission line with 110 to 210 foot high monopoles with multiple cross-arms,” said DiM a s o. “At a n ave r a ge height of 140 feet, these monopoles are proposed
Freeholders Oppose Reliability Project
to run along the New Jersey Transit right-of-way th rough the Mon mouth County towns of Aberdeen, Hazlet, Holmdel, M id d le t ow n , a n d Re d Bank. Keep in mind that the tallest building in Red Bank is Riverview Towers at 159 feet tall (13 stories). By comparison, the few tall buildings in the other towns along the route are less than 100 feet tall. Most buildings are one or two-story structures.” Earlier this year, JCP&L petitioned the Board of P ublic Ut ilit ies ( BPU ) for a determination that t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Reliability Project is “reasonably necessary” for the service, convenience or welfare of the public. For the Reliability Project to move forward, NJ Transit must approve it. A similar project was
proposed by JCP&L in 1989, but was withdrawn in the face of overwhelming opposition. “ Mo n m o u t h C o u n t y would like this project to be withdrawn as well.” said DiMaso. “The Board of Chosen Freeholders has serious concerns related to the health, safety and a e s t he t ic s of JC P&L’s recent plan. The proposed route traverses residential neighborhoods and passes schools, parks and recreation areas, historic districts, preserved open space, and natural habitats, streams, rivers and wetlands in the Swimming R iver watershed. As a Freeholder Board we have worked very hard to prese r ve t he bucolic nature of our county and these monopoles will forever change our landscape.”
The Board of Chosen Freeholders also believes the proposed project will have a signif icant nega t i ve i m p a c t o n l o c a l r e a l e st at e va lue s a nd
lower the tax base in the af fe ct e d com mu n it ie s, shifting the tax burden to the remai n i ng for t y eight Monmouth County towns.
The Board of Chosen Freeholders strongly urges JCP&L to utilize underground conduits for transmission lines for the Reliability Project.

OMMUNITY NEWS Club News, Activities, Events & Announcements Wreck Pond Citizen Science Monitor
MONMOUTH COUNTY – Love science? Love being outdoors? The American Littoral Society is looking for a few dedicated individuals to join their Wreck Pond Citizen Science Monitoring Program. Wreck Pond is a 73-acre coastal pond located on the border of Spring Lake and Sea Girt. The Society, in partnership with several public and private entities, has been involved in the construction of a fish passage that will connect the pond to the ocean. Once completed, the culvert will improve water quality, provide better flood control, and allow fish to move into and out of the pond – particularly river herring and American eel. As a Wreck Pond Citizen Science Monitor,
volunteers will help us gain valuable information on the effects of the fish passage on pond water level, salinity and temperature. Bird monitors will help track long-term use of the pond and the surrounding areas by shorebirds including endangered Piping Plover and threatened Red Knots. The information collected in this program will ultimately assist us in determining the overall success of the project. All volunteers will be trained in the proper monitoring protocols and provided with necessary equipment. To become a Wreck Pond Citizen Science Monitor or for more information, contact Zack Royle at zack@ littoralsociety.org.

Construction Begins On New Fire Academy Training Center
HOWELL – Construction of the new Monmouth County Fire Academy Training Center commenced in October. The 3,900 square foot pre-manufactured building has been specifically designed for fire training exercises and simulations and offers numerous features not available at the current facility. The modernized center will feature a four-story tower, a two-story reproduction of retail and residential building layouts, as well as a one-story section. The orientation of the building will allow fire trucks and ladders to access all four sides of the building. In addition, fire hoses will be able to operate inside the building through the use of a new standpipe and sprinkler system that can be hooked up to fire trucks or a water supply. The new facility will allow firefighters to train under a variety of different conditions and potential building configurations, proving
more in-depth training capability. The facility will have both a flat and sloped roof as well as moveable walls and doors, allowing for changes in the interior layout. In addition, several burn rooms will be lined with panels that are able to withstand extremely high temperatures, allowing them to be filled with smoke. Training props, including forcible entry doors, roof cut-outs and rappelling anchors will offer additional enhanced training opportunities. The new facility, which is estimated to cost $1,773,800, will replace an older two-story concrete block building which was placed out of commission from decades of use. The project will also include structural repairs to the existing training building, which has been compromised as a result of the exposure to high temperatures and frequent use. The estimated date of completion is April of 2017.

The Real Story Of The Jersey Devil
SHREWSBURY – The story of the Jersey Devil is one of the most popular myths of New Jersey history. The problem is that everything people think they know about the Jersey Devil is wrong. It is not about a spectral winged horse demon, but rather the bare-knuckled political and religious upheavals and fights of colonial America. The real story of the Jersey Devil’s birth is far more interesting, complex and important
than anyone thinks. It is a product not of witchcraft, but innuendo, scandal, rumor mongering and media hype. While a tale of early America, it could have been taken from the tabloids and internet gossip of today. Presented by Brian Regal, Ph.D. Kean University, the talk will take place at 3 p.m. on November 19 at the Eastern Branch of the Monmouth County Library, 1001 Route 35, Shrewsbury.
The Wreck Of The Lady Mary
SHREWBURY – Amy Ellis Nutt will talk about the tragic New Jersey story of a high seas hit-and-run: the mysterious sinking of the Lady Mary off the coast of Cape May that left but one survivor and not a single clue to its demise. The talk will take place at 2 p.m. on Novem-
ber 13 at Eastern Branch, 1001 Route 35. Nutt won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for The Wreck of the Lady Mary. She was also a finalist in 2009 for her Star-Ledger feature Accidental Artist. Nutt is currently a health and science writer for the Washington Post.

Few things are more painful to bear than a diagnosis of breast cancer and all that goes with it. I have three close friends who are breast cancer th rivers today, although my mother-in-law died from it because the suspicious spot on her scan did not receive follow up imaging and by the following year, it was too late. She died in 1996. I miss her but I get to love her son, my sweet Sam. We’ve learned so much since then. I will share the new research now. There is a more comprehensive version of my article with more tips at my website, suzycohen. com. Just sign up for my newsletter to receive your copy. 1. Bone loss t reat ment may need to be re-evaluated. According to a paper published in Medical Hypothesis (2010), a lt e r at io n s i n t he s e r u m c a lciu m t o magnesium ratio could lead to increased development of new as well as recurrent breast cancer (due to low magnesium levels relatively speaking). The paper states, “Most women with hor mone sensitive breast cancer are recommended to take aromatase inhibitors, which causes bone loss and thus are generally prescribed Calcium and vitamin D, but not Magnesium.” So when you take high amounts of calcium all by itself for osteoporosis, it may be better for you to add supportive minerals like magnesium and/or vitamin D. Talk to your doctor. 2. Natural folate from salads and greens are incredible for you. Eating folate-rich foods appears to reduce risk. This was determined when researchers evaluated the diets of 367,993 women recruited from
10 European countries. The researchers used data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Eating a diet that is rich in dietary folate may be associated with a lower risk of sex hormone receptor-negative breast cancer, at least in pre-menopausal women. 3. There are natural SERMs like Rhodiola. The SERMs short for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators can block estrogen-mediated breast cancer growth and help to maintain bone density in postmenopausal women. You know the drugs as tamoxifen (Nolvadex) and raloxifene (Evista) and others. A paper in Phytomedicine 2016 found that Rhodiola rosea acts a bit like a SERM by binding to estrogen receptors, counteracting TNF alpha and protecting bone cells (osteoblasts) from hydrogen peroxide. You should discuss the risks to benefits with your physician but it seems that with SERM activity, natural Rhodiola might help mitigate or delay menopause-related discomfort and support breast health. 4. Eating rosemary is powerful. This herb contains natural compounds such as rosmarinic acid that are protective of our reproductive organs. Another spice called Spica prunellae (Xia Ku Cao in Chinese medicine) contains this rosmarinic acid. There are studies on rosmarinic acid that are important to breast cancer survivors, for example one that found how it can slow or inhibit bone metastasis from breast cancer. There are more tips at my site. For now, consider putting rosemary sprigs in everything you eat. It’s easy, simple and provides many other health benefits.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
He Does Virtually Nothing
Dear Joel, I have a 23 year old son who still lives at home. My problem isn’t that I object to his living here. What concerns me is that he doesn’t work and contributes nothing toward the household. He barely has any friends and does virtually nothing. I need help!
Answer: I’m not sure that you need the help. I hear nothing in your letter that indicates that. Your son on the other hand does need guidance. While I don’t hear that he is doing anything wrong, there isn’t much right being done either. I think that you have to start by having him pay rent. I’m sure your question is where
will he get the money from. My answer to that is by giving him chores and assigning a dollar value to each chore. So for example if you think that he should be contributing $150 a week, have mowing the lawn worth $30, raking leaves $20 and so on. He may find that working for someone else outside the home is more pleasant. You, however, have to start somewhere. Let me know how it works out. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

County Expands Shared Service Offerings
FREEHOLD – Under the direction of Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, Monmouth County continues to expand its municipal shared services offerings. “The County is excited to offer our 53 municipalities with access to aerial images of Monmouth County under a license agreement with our vendor, Pictometry International,” said Arnone. “This imagery was captured over the County during the winter and spring and includes images from different angles that could be helpful in land use planning and other municipal operations.” Pictometry International captured both or-
thogonal and oblique imagery of Monmouth County in the winter of 2014 and spring 2015. The County is now able to offer the images to local communities as part of a GIS data license agreement for a one-time fee of $1,800. Additionally, the Monmouth County GIS Section, part of the Monmouth County Division of Planning, will provide participating municipalities with certain technical assistance related to data and software installation. Municipalities have been notified about the availability of this service and encouraged to contact the Monmouth County Office of Shared Services at 732-431-7470.

Inside The Law Changes To The New Jersey Estate Tax Law
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R. C. Shea and Associates
On October 14, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie approved legislation to amend the New Jersey Estate Tax. Prior to this amendment, New Jersey was one of only a handful of states to have an estate tax and the state with the lowest estate tax threshold of any state. Under the new legislation, the New Jersey Estate Tax threshold will be raised from the current $675,000.00 to $2,000,000.00 effective January 1, 2017. As of January 1, 2018, the New Jersey Estate Tax will be eliminated. The change is not retroactive so it will not affect the estates of persons who passed away in 2016. What impact will this have? For persons with g ross estates with a value of less than $675,000.00 or for persons who are leaving their entire estate to their spouses, this legislation will have no impact. For persons who have estates greater than $675,000.00 the change in the law will reduce and then eliminate their New Jersey Estate Taxes. If you had an estate greater than $675,0 0 0.0 0 a n d h a d p r e v iou sly prepared Wills or Trusts to reduce or eliminate the New Jersey Estate Taxes, you should have those documents reviewed by an estate planning attorney to determine if those documents need to be revised in light of the changes to the law. For example, many people used complicated “credit shelter” Wills to reduce or eliminate the possible Estate Tax consequences. In most cases, this kind of tax planning required the persons to separate their assets from the assets of their spouses.
This kind of planning could be cumbersome Marc S. Galella Esq. and complicated in maintaining separate assets. With the change in the law, it may not be necessary to keep such complicated documents or to maintain separate assets for each spouse. The ability to change the complicated type of Will to a simpler Will may be desirable. Remember that the change to the New Jersey Estate Tax law does not affect the Federal Estate Tax which applies to estates in excess of $5,400,000.00 for 2016. Nor does it affect the New Jersey Inheritance Tax law which taxes inheritances which are passing to persons other than spouses, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The State left the Inheritance Tax law in effect. If you have an estate in excess of $5,400,000.00 or are leaving assets to persons who are not your lineal descendants, you may still need to consider some form of death tax planning. If you have any questions as to how the change in the New Jersey Estate Tax law affects your estate, you should consult with an estate planning attorney who can review your current documents and advise you as to what changes, if any, are recommended. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Associates have been advising the residents of Ocean and Monmouth Counties as to estate planning matters for over 90 combined years.

Expansion Of Drug Control Efforts Lauded
MONMOUTH COUNTY – U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez (both D-NJ) lauded the expansion of the New York/ New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program to include Monmouth County, which has experienced a sharp rise in both heroin and opioid use and trafficking. The designation, which Booker advocated for, will allow Monmouth County to receive Federal resources to further the coordination and development of drug control efforts among Federal, state, local law enforcement officials. Monmouth County will also receive $125,000 in federal funding to support a team led by the Monmouth County
Prosecutor’s Office consisting of the D r ug En force me nt Ad m i n ist r at ion (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), local law enforcement and other partners to focus on opioid- and heroin-related investigations and outreach. “Opioid addiction has taken a devastating toll on our nation and continues to tear individuals, families and commu nities apar t across New Jersey,” said Booker. “The key to f inding a long-term solution to this crisis is by implementing a holistic approach that i nclude s al l levels of gove r n me nt. I was proud to advocate for the expansion of this critical program into Mon mout h Cou nt y at a t i me whe n
they need it most in order to provide federal resources on the ground and more effectively coordinate efforts to address this epidemic.” In March, Booker and Menendez met with NY/NJ HIDTA officials at a statewide opioid su m mit the law makers convened. In August, they also hosted a panel discussion with U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and Veterans Affairs Under Secretary for Health David Shulkin at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston on the heroin and opioid addiction crisis in New Jersey. Heroin overdose deaths in Monmouth Cou nt y more than t r ipled in recent years from 20 reported cases in 2010 to 68 in 2014, according to the New Jersey
State Medical Examiner’s Office. According to data collected in 2015 by the New Jersey State Police-Drug M o n i t o r i n g I n i t i a t i ve , M o n m o u t h County ranked second in New Jersey in marijuana cases, second in the state in prescription pill cases, third in cocaine cases, and fourth in heroin cases. Monmouth also ranks sixth in the state for deployments of the overdose reversal drug naloxone. H I DTA was created by Cong ress t h r ou g h t he A nt i-D r u g Abu s e Ac t of 1988, and provides assistance to Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in areas deter mined to be critical dr ug-t rafficking regions of the United States.
Handwriting Analysis At The Library MANALPAN– Terry Antoniewicz, noted handwriting analyst and historian, will present a program on signature analysis at the Library Headquarters of the Monmouth County Library on November 15 at 2 p.m. Antoniewicz, owner of Anton Productions, is also a calligrapher with more than 45 years’ experience in analyzing handwriting. She has done analyses in the process of updating and repairing historical documents as well as entertaining at signature analysis parties. At Anton
Productions, she provides motivational and inspirational services in aiding interested persons in learning more about team relationship building, brainstorming, and professional development programs. She has worked with staff in coordinating art needs and special programs for curriculum development for art departments and has designed unique audio/visual materials and presented calligraphy classes for senior citizens. In a recent analysis of Yankee player Alex Rodriguez hand written apology
following his use of performance enhancing drugs, Antoniewicz opined that his exhibits slow and deliberate writing, signs of a high intelligence, and an ability to cut out the unnecessary to get to the heart of a matter. Her analysis also showed that A-Rod’s signature reveals a desire to be simple and informal. During the program at the Library, Antoniewicz will highlight the fun aspects of personal signatures through interactivity. Interested attendees are invited to bring their own personal favorite writing
instruments as well as samples of their preferred choices of writing on unlined paper for revelations about personality traits. Reservations are requested for the program at the library, located at 125 Symmes Drive, and there is no admission fee. For reservations, call 732-431-7220, ext. 7222.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Garden State Radiation Oncology
Toms River Radiation Oncologist Dr. Bryan Eggert Fights The Good Fight For Patient Lives And Liberties By Joyce Blay Toms River radiation oncology specialist Dr. Bryan Eggert is not running for public office, but that hasn’t stopped him from advocating for his patients’ rights to government services. “I fight for my patients to get what they deserve,” he tells a visitor to his office. “I advocate for treatment and medical coverage.”
Dr. Eggert is an affiliate physician of Garden State Medical Center, a unique multi-specialty, out-patient medical facility serving the tri-state area. He also fights for the health and well-being of patients engaged in a personal battle with an implacable foe - cancer. For this staunch medical warrior, there is no retreat and no quarter given. “The general outlook for a cancer diagnosis is quite ominous,” Dr. Egger t says. “I think people need to understand and overcome that psychological barrier. A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the end of the world.” Many of Dr. Eggert’s patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. The West f ield, NJ native views their lives and their self-esteem his personal responsibility to rescue. “Isn’t empathy a doctor’s personal responsibility?” he asks rhetorically. “I provide emotional support, empathy, counseling.

In 1983, Dr. Eggert received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. “That was a very intensive program,” he says of his medical education.

In the week ahead you can profit from your businesslike manner and by implementing shrewd business ideas. Pursue financial security and success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): On a scale of one to ten you might feel like a 10. As this week unfolds you can take the bull by the horns and accomplish whatever you envision. It may be the right time to initiate a new business or moneymaking activity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It is plain as the nose on your face. You will find what you look for. If you are looking for proof of someone’s commitment and loyalty it will be obvious. This is a good week to make presentations and hold heart-to-hearts. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have the right stuff. If you put your shoulder to the wheel you can push your way out of a rut. Then you can quickly get up top speed and even go further.

Transform An Ordinary Bowl Of Soup Into An Extraordinary Meal By Wolfgang Puck
It always interests me how just one special element can make the difference between a dish that’s tastes just fine and one that people find amazing. It could be a seasoning - the touch of honey that can brighten up a lemon vinaigrette, for example - or maybe be a garnish (Imagine what a Caesar salad would be like without the garlicky crunch of croutons). And occasionally, it’s something that so transforms the result that it receives co-star billing in the recipe name itself. That last case certainly holds true for one of the most popular soups I know: broccoli cheddar. Yes, a pureed soup of fresh broccoli on its own can be excellent, especially if you make it with a rich, f lavorful chicken stock or vegetable stock and an aromatic base of garlic and onion or leeks. But add cheese to the soup and something magical happens. The slightly pungent character of broccoli, a close relative of cabbages and mustard, suddenly softens when c ou nt e r ba la nc e d by t he che e se’s creamy, sometimes tangy f lavor. As it melts, cheese also contributes a wonderfully velvety, thick consistency. The result is a soup that guests always go wild for when we offer my version of it in one of my restaurants. In fact, many of them have told me that they never imagined they would like a soup that stars broccoli - until someone else at their table offered them a spoonful. So please allow me to be the one who offers you a taste, with my personal recipe. One look at it will probably surprise you, especially when you see how few ingredients it requires and how simple the instructions are. In fact, most of the recipe involves everyday cooking methods: sauteing (for the leek and garlic), simmering (for the broccoli) and pureeing the soup in a blender or food processor or in the pot with an immersion blender. The only out-of-the-ordinary step is one you should take if you don’t plan to serve the soup right away: quickly chilling it over an ice bath of ice cubes and cold water. This helps to set the bright green color, making for an especially beautiful bowlful. As for the cheese, I like to use cheddar, especially a sharper aged variety. But you could substitute any other kind of good melting cheese you like. Speaking of substitutions, the recipe also works beautifully if you substitute caulif lower for the broccoli. And there’s one more element to this recipe that makes it even more beautiful and delicious: quickly made crostini. Crispy toasts covered with a little more cheese, melted and bubbly. That’s one more example of the way just one special extra element can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CROSTINI Serves 8 BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large organic leek, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 7 cups (1.75 L) organic, low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock or broth 1 tablespoon honey Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 2 1/2 pounds (1.25 kg) broccoli, stems peeled and coarsely chopped, florets cut into smaller pieces 1/2 lemon 1 cup (250 mL) shredded cheddar cheese CHEDDAR CROSTINI: 1/2 loaf crusty French bread or Italian bread, cut into slices 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for garnish Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large nonreactive pot over medium heat. Add the leek and garlic, reduce the heat to low, and saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are translucent and very tender but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the stock, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Raise the heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer, and continue simmering for 5 minutes. Stir in the broccoli and squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is barely tender and still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Working carefully in batches, use a blender or food processor to puree the soup; or puree directly in the pot with an immersion blender. If serving the soup hot immediately, shred or sprinkle 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheese into the blender/processor or pot, dividing it among the batches if using a blender/ processor. Pulse to combine the cheese with the hot puree. If you’re making the soup in advance or want to serve a cold broccoli soup, transfer the soup to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl inside a larger bowl partially filled with ice and water. Stir until cooled down completely. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. If reheating, stir the cheddar into the soup over medium heat. While the soup cooks or reheats, preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). For the crostini, arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the oven to the broil setting. Shred or sprinkle 1/2 cup (125 mL) of cheese over the slices and broil until melted, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Ladle the hot soup into heated serving bowls and sprinkle or shred a little more cheese over its surface. Float a crostini on top, serving more on the side. You can also serve with a few more broccoli florets, if desired.
