Brick Backs Ducey’s Team

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Although ground hasn’t been broken for the upcoming Performing Arts Academy, officials have laid the groundwork for its funding.

The Ocean County Freeholders passed the second reading of an ordinance that would create a $27 million bond to pay for the school. Freeholder John Bartlett said the county will float the bond for the construction, and pay $8 million of its total cost. However, the funding will come from other sources as well.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Macarthur Announces Ocean County Designated As High Drug Trafficking Area NEW J ERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur, Republican Chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, has announced that the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has designated Ocean County as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).

Recently, Congressman Tom MacArthur led a letter to the

ONDCP urging the addition of Ocean County to the HIDTA program and has met with local, county, state and federal law enforcement officials to discuss the importance of the designation. Additionally, the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, which he co-chairs, successfully fought against drastic budget cuts to the ONDCP and the HIDTA program.

This designation helps coordinate joint efforts among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and provides funds for resources needed to combat drug trafficking in problem areas.

“Ocean County has been devastated by drug addiction,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “Last year, 190 Ocean County residents died

from an overdose – that’s one death every 43 hours.

Our local law enforcement officials are on the front lines of this fight and need help to get dealers off our streets and stop drugs from flowing into our communities. This designation is critical for Ocean County and will ensure our police officers have the assistance and resources they

need to save loved ones. I will continue to fight for our community and support local law enforcement in their effort to protect our neighborhoods and rid our streets of drugs and the criminals who profit from ruining people’s lives.”

“Drug trafficking is a national problem that has to be addressed on the local level, and adding these counties to the

HIDTA program is a critical part of this effort,” said Richard Baum, Acting Director of National Drug Control Policy.

“These new designations and the funding they will bring will help our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers work together to disrupt and dismantle the trafficking networks that are bringing drugs into our communities.”

Freeholders Call Upon Congress To Say No To Eliminating Federal Income Tax Deduction For State And Local Taxes

NEW JERSEY – The state and local tax deduction (SALT) has for more than a century been used by taxpayers in Ocean County and throughout New Jersey as a deduction on federal income tax returns.

Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, along with his colleagues on the Board of Chosen Freeholders, doesn’t want that to change any time soon for the hundreds of thousands of county residents that use it.

“This proposal which is being given serious con-

sideration by Congress to eliminate this deduction is a serious mistake,” Vicari said. “This particular income tax deduction is used by almost everyone who itemizes their income taxes.

This deduction prevents double taxation since state and local taxes are mandatory payments.”

The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders recently passed a resolution expressing “its strong opposition to any tax reform proposal that would eliminate the SALT deduction,” according to the

resolution.

“We are urging the U.S. Congress and our Congressional leaders to join us in publicly opposing any such proposal,” Vicari said.

The Board joins a growing chorus of opposition to the proposal including the New Jersey Association of Counties, the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities and the United States Conference of Mayors.

According to these organizations, eliminating or capping federal deductibility

for state and local property, sales and income taxes would represent double taxation on American taxpayers, a principle strongly rejected throughout the rest of the tax code.

“This federal cost shift onto local governments would place extreme pressure on Ocean County’s budget including diminished revenue for essential local government investments, including public safety and public infrastructure,” according to the Freeholder resolution.

“Increased federal taxation and reduced County services will harm our local housing market, decrease home values and erode our local tax base.”

Vicari noted that Ocean County and the state of New Jersey pays more than its fair share of taxes to the federal government with one of the worst returns.

The average New Jersey taxpayer paid $18,367 in federal income taxes, behind only Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.

That’s $4,316 above the national average of $14,051, according to published reports.

In addition, in 2015, New Jerseyans received only 48 cents back for every dollar they pay in income tax, the fourth lowest rate in the country, according to WalletHub, a personal finance resource website.

“We cannot ignore the importance of this deduction,” Vicari said. “It has been of true value for more than 100 years. We need to make certain it is not eliminated.”

Brick:

Continued From Page 1 John Ciocco and Lois Turner won around 8,500 votes each.

Ducey was at a results party at the Beacon 70 Restaurant with all the council members when they heard about their win at around 9:30 p.m.

“It was very exciting, a very happy moment,” Ducey said in a phone interview on

the morning after the election.

“I’m very honored that the Brick voters are giving me the privilege of serving as mayor for another four years,” he said. “I will work as hard as I have been working to keep taxes stable and to complete projects here in town.”

He said some of those projects include the completion of a privately funded sports dome at the former Foodtown site, and completing the renovations of Bernard J. Cooke

Park in the Parkway Pines residential area, Cedar Bridge Manor Park and Bayside Park on the barrier island.

Asked why he believes the Democrats made a clean sweep after the previous all-Republican mayor and council were voted out, Ducey said he believes it comes down to good governing.

“It’s not the campaigning or the mailings.

We govern in a way that makes people happy to vote for us. We’ve eliminated some

department heads, and there are no family members [hired],” he said.

His administration has also created family events, such as the Fall Fest, the farmer’s market and more, Ducey said.

“We are fiscally conservative, but we still get projects done,” he said.

Wyatt Earp, chair of the Ocean County Democrats, was not surprised by Ducey’s win.

“He listens. People get that he’s listening, and he acts on what he hears,” Earp said.

Republican candidate and former twoterm councilwoman Ruthanne Scaturro replaced Dominick Brando in August as the party nominee after Brando dropped out because of health issues.

Before the election, Scaturro said the most important issues facing Brick was the stabilization of taxes and safety. She wanted to create conditions where “people wanted to move to Brick,” and she wanted to work more closely with Police Chief Riccio “to accomplish more safety things in town.”

While he was running for mayor, Independent candidate, and also a former twoterm councilman, Anthony Matthews, said he was running because people were “sick of Brick politics.”

Rob Canfield, who never held public office, also ran as an independent. Canfield, who is a minister and works as a patient care representative for a dental company, said he wanted a more transparent government.

Two new Board of Education members were also elected: Jessica Clayton and Maria E. Foster received 8,483 and 8,302 votes respectively, while incumbent John Barton is out, having garnered just 5,955 votes.

Barton was the only board member remaining from before the 2016 election when four “clean slate” candidates were elected and gained majority control of the Board of Education.

Funding:

Continued From Page 1 of the project, or $10.6 million. The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation has pledged $8 million.

“We could not have made this happen without the generosity of the Jay and Linda Gr unin Foundation,” Bar tlett said. “With the help of the foundation and the state, we can afford the $8 million from the freeholders for the construction of the building.”

The 60,000-square-foot building is expected to open in 2019. It will be located on the campus of Ocean County College.

One of the benefits of being at OCC is that the inf rastr uct ure is already there, Bartlett said. The site is already hooked up to utilities and the roads and parking are already there. Additionally, the county would not have to purchase property for the school.

“At night time, the college can use the building as well,” he said.

The Performing Arts Academy is currently renting space in Hangar 1 of the Joint Base-McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst. Its lease will be expiring soon. Additionally, with added security regulations, parents and staff have expressed that location is not as convenient as it once was.

During the introduction of that bond ordinance, Suzanne Wyckoff, Jackson, thanked the Freeholders on behalf of the Parent Teacher Association for the Performing Arts Academy.

Sports:

Continued From Page 1 policy that meets the needs of the students, parents and school district, hopefully by the December Board of Education meeting.

“But until that time, homeschooled students will be allowed to participate in winter athletics,” he said.

A committee had met the day before the November meeting, and Filippone said he is “very, very confident” that a policy allowing homeschooled students to participate in sports would be on the December agenda for the first reading.

The policy would then be approved at the second reading during January Board of Education meeting and go into effect for spring athletics, Filippone said.

“We will follow the NJSIAA (New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association) guidelines for academic eligibility,” Filippone said.

Those guidelines include proof that the student lives in the district; that their homeschooled curriculum aligns with the district’s curriculum; that the student’s instruction would be evaluated and approved by the school principal; that they have medical clearance; and more.

“We are working diligently to come up with a policy that really works. There are great ones out there. I don’t think it will be very difficult,” Filippone said.

Board President John Lamela and board

The Brick Times, November 18, 2017, Page 9 “The school is amazing. The buildi ng…not so much,” she said of the academy’s current home.

She underlined that her children have been engaged with a challenging academic course load in addition to their chosen artistic specialities.

Two institutions that only exist on paper, the Ocean County College Board of School Est i mat e a nd t he Ocea n County Vocational Technical Schools Board of School Estimate, both passed r e s ol u t io n s o u t l i n i n g t h e f u n d i n g sources and the responsibilities of the two institutions.

The academy offers four majors: theater, vocal, dance and audio engineering. This is in addition to its academic curriculum.

“The curriculum is rigorous and the students are expected to think critically and creatively,” OCVTS Superintendent William Hoey said in a press release. “This new academy will benefit both the high school and college students. We will be sharing the classroom space and can use the other amenities at the college.”

OCC College President Dr. Jon Larson said in a press release that high school students will able to use the college’s library, student center and the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts.

“Once they complete the academy curriculum, students will be awarded OCC’s associate degree and will be half way to a bachelor’s degree – all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree,” Larson said.

member Melita Gagliardi had already met with Filippone and done their homework, so Filippone said he is confident the committee would come up with a policy with which everybody could be happy.

“We are pleased as a school district to be able to welcome in, for those activities, young people who can only add to what we feel is already a great environment for kids,” he said.

Former Board of Education member Larry Reid said that about five years ago there had been a policy in place that allowed a homeschooled student hockey player to participate in that sport.

“I thought we had put a procedure policy into effect at that time,” Reid said.

Filippone said there had been a policy in place but it was subsequently removed by a previous board. When the policy was removed, it reverts back to the superintendent, Filippone said.

After the October Board of Education meeting, Filippone said that the State Department of Education does not have a policy on allowing homeschooled children to participate in school activities and that it is up to the superintendent in each district.

He said very few New Jersey school districts allow homeschooled students to participate in school athletics.

“I’m glad to see it back in,” said Reid.

“So are we,” Filippone said.

The next Board of Education meeting will be on Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. at Brick High School.

Officers Arrest, Charge Gun Toting Bike Rider

BRICK – Officers responded to the 7-Eleven at 108 Lake Shore Way for a subject that possibly had a gun in his waistband on Nov. 3 at 12:04 p.m.

The subject purchased cigarettes and made no statements or threats. He left the store and rode his bicycle from the store towards Brick Boulevard northbound. The subject was described as white male, early twenties wearing a green shirt and white pants.

The Emma Havens School and The Drum Point School was immediately advised and put on lockdown as officers flooded the area.

Witnesses stated to officers that the subject matching that description was seen on Drum Point Rodd in the area of the Police Athletic League (PAL) possibly heading into the neighborhood behind the building.

Officer Dan Fogarty observed a subject matching the above description riding a bicycle on Jackson Avenue and approached him as Officer Robert Koch arrived. Officers determined he had a revolver type imitation handgun in his waistband that they removed from the suspect.

The suspect was arrested and identified as Daniel Mizner Jr, 22 years old, white male from Brick. Mizner was charged with Possession of an Imitation Firearm, Unlawful Possession of a Weapon and Disorderly Conduct. He was released on a summons under the guidelines of bail reform.

Young Eagles Flight Rally In Lakewood Brings Out Largest Crowd Ever Independent & Assisted Living Personalized Assistance for the Independent Resident

A

1995

$ –Photos courtesy of EAA Chapter Pilot Al Miller, Brick, with Young Eagles who have just landed after their first flight.

LAKEWOOD – Twenty-five years ago, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) created the Young Eagles Program to give youngsters their first free ride in an airplane and inspire them to become interested in aviation. Since then, volunteer EAA pilots have flown millions of young people in more than 90 countries.

This October at the Lakewood Township airport, 1900 Cedar Bridge Ave. eight pilots donated their time and their airplanes to fly 93 boys and girls, ages 8-17, the largest turnout Chapter 315 has ever had, as part of the EAA Chapter 315’s Young Eagles Flight Rally & Aviation Day. Frank Fine, Young Eagles coordinator for Chapter 315, said “The chapter appreciates everything Matt Applegate, fixed base operator of Lakewood Airport, and his staff did to support the event, by making the participating organizations feel welcome and helping make the event the success that it was.”

Because more young people were interested in going for a ride than were able to get in the air, plans are being made to give those young

people an airplane ride at a later date. During the Rally, pilots explained what makes an airplane fly, what it takes to get a pilot’s license, and what career possibilities exist. They also demonstrated how pilots ensure that safety is the prime concern before every flight.

Following the flight, each young person received a logbook and a certificate making him or her an official Young Eagle. Their names were entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The logbook is also accessible at www.youngeagles.org.

The New Jersey Aviation Education Council had displays and simulators in a hangar to promote flying as a hobby or as a career choice, and the Civil Air Patrol had a plane on display.

Visit eaa.org for a calendar of upcoming events.

Lacey Man Charged In Road Rage

By Jennifer Peacock

BRICK – Police arrested 29-year-old Lanoka Harbor man for a road rage incident that occurred Nov. 7.

The man, Michael Patrick O’Hare, was found in the Peter Place/Donald Street area of Brick. Police arrested and processed him, and he was transported to Ocean County Jail.

He was charged with aggravated assault and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident. He also had an outstanding warrant from Bloomfield Municipal Court.

The arrest stemmed from an incident on Nov. 7, when Brick Police responded to 55 Brick Blvd. for a hit and run that involved pedestrian Earl Creveling, 43.

Creveling told police he was involved in a road rage incident with O’Hare, who was operating an older model Volvo while traveling on Old Hooper Avenue. After the road rage incident, both vehicles pulled into Bay Harbor Plaza where an altercation took

place. While Creveling was attempting to get O’Hare’s license plate number, O’Hare accelerated toward Creveling, striking him, causing him to hit the windshield and land on the pavement. O’Hare fled. Creveling was subsequently transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center where he was treated for internal injuries.

Detective Brad Frank of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and Ptl. Jay Lampiasi of the Brick Police Traffic Safety Unit interviewed O’Hare regarding his involvement in the incident.

The accident is being investigated by Ptl. Lampiasi of the Brick Township Police Department Traffic Safety Unit and Detective Brad Frank of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

Anyone with more information regarding this incident can contact Ptl. Jay Lampiasi of the Brick Police at 732-262-1141. Additional charges are pending further investigation.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

5 Medical Factors That Could Lead To Hearing Loss

While hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises – also referred to as sensorineural hearing loss – a number of medical conditions can lead to hearing impairment as well. Fortunately, some of these medical conditions are reversible, allowing hearing to become fully restored.

Current research is finding strong associations between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity and dementia. But many lesser-known conditions can impact your hearing health in potentially serious ways. Here are a few of them: 1. Blood Conditions: Poor blood flow is typically the result of circulatory system troubles and can restrict the flow of oxygen to the inner ear. Conditions affecting blood flow include sickle-cell anemia, diabetes and heart conditions.

Things like high blood pressure, hypercoagulability and polycythemia can also cause blood related hearing loss.

2. Infections: Meningitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord, can cause sudden hearing loss. Hearing loss is also a side effect of treatment of tuberculosis – though it is possible that the medication used in treatment is what causes the impairment. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are common side effects of Lyme disease (carried by ticks), as well as some STDs, like syphilis.

3. Disease: Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the fluids in the inner ear, is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Its root is unknown, and the disease typically affects only one ear in individuals between ages 20 and 50. Other

issues known to affect hearing include hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), kidney disease medications, Paget’s disease and autoimmune inner ear disease, which results in sudden onset hearing loss and must be treated as a medical emergency.

4. Hereditary Conditions: Hearing loss may run in your family. Some serious genetic disorders, such as Waardenburg syndrome, cause the head and internal organs to develop differently, which may result in hearing loss that is difficult to correct through treatment or surgery.

Other conditions, like otosclerosis, affect the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the cochlea; some of these conditions are correctable with surgery.

5. Tumors and Cancer: Cancers of the head, neck or ear areas can affect the inner ear, but cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also notorious for causing hearing loss. Some recent research out of the U.K. suggests that aspirin can help prevent permanent hearing loss as a side effect of the cancer drug cisplatin, but further research is necessary. Acoustic neuromas and tumors that grow on the auditory nerve can cause hearing loss or tinnitus, and they may put pressure on the brain, leading to other conditions. Both are usually benign and can be removed surgically.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The Secret Nutrient That Helps Graves’ Disease

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Graves’ disease leads to high levels of thyroid hormone, termed “hyperthyroidism” which is the opposite of hypothyroidism, a condition that I usually write about.

Graves’ disease takes its name after the doctor who described it for the first time in 1835, Dr. Robert J. Graves and it affects 10 million people worldwide.

It causes your immune system to produce antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormone than you need.

Doctors then seek to surgically cut out or burn (radiate) your thyroid gland to stop the outpouring of thyroid hormone. After that, you will take thyroid medicine at standard doses.

Emerging research shows that deficiency of vitamin D is associated with this condition.

It’s exciting. In a study published in Endocrine Journal (2012), scientists examined vitamin D levels in 26 women who had Graves’ disease.

This data was compared with vitamin D levels in 46 healthy (non-afflicted) women meaning they had normal thyroid function and no signs of Graves’ disease. The vitamin D levels in women with Graves’ disease were considerably lower than the healthy participants.

There was another research study and the levels of vitamin D in 208 Graves’ disease patients were assessed. They noticed that women were way more vitamin D deficient than men (38 percent to 17 percent). It’s an interesting gender difference to keep in mind.

There’s also an interesting seasonal variation in vitamin D levels. As you would expect, the “sunshine” vitamin D levels were higher in summertime and relatively lower during

winter.

If low levels of vitamin D contribute, cause or exacerbate Graves’ disease, could improving your vitamin D levels regulate thyroid metabolism?

In 2014, researchers published a case study in the Clinical Medicine Insight about a woman in her 40s whose symptoms improved after vitamin D supplementation. She had complained of heart palpitations for the prior three months and finally came in to see her doctor.

Her physical exam revealed an enlarged thyroid gland consistent with Graves’ disease.

Lab tests checking for antibodies confirmed that she had Graves’ disease. Additionally, she had lower than optimal vitamin D levels.

The patient was given a vitamin D supplement and as you might expect, improvement was confirmed though lab testing.

It’s not that we have thousands of people from a large-scale test, but in my humble opinion, we have enough data here to make the case that D can support healthy antibody levels not only in Hashimoto’s, but also Graves’ disease. Why? Because we know that vitamin D is an immune-modulator. We know that it supports Th1 and Th2 immune functioning. As a perk, it could improve mood in people who feel gloomy and tearful during the cold months.

Ask your doctor if it’s right for you even though it’s over-the-counter. Keep in mind that too much vitamin D could jack up levels of magnesium and calcium and adversely affect your heart rhythm. Don’t overdo it, and write me if you note improvement. I’d love to hear from you.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?!

Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Christopher R. Shea Esq. Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage.

In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims.

An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you’ve suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits.

Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment.

Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.

Further, it is import- Christopher R. Shea Esq. ant to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Lakewood DPW Announces New Bulk, Trash Pickup Days

LAKEWOOD – Starting January 1, 2018, the Lakewood Department of Public Works is enforcing new changes.

Bulk trash pickup will be Friday (not Wednesdays) every week according to your zone. Bulk trash is items such as brush, metal, leaves, e-waste and sanitation bulk.

The second change: All normal trash (green can) and recycling (yellow can) pickups for Thursday and Friday will now be collected the day before. So if your normal pickup day was Thursday, it is now Wednesday. If your normal pickup day was Friday, it is now Thursday.

Very important reminders about bulk trash: All residents must call for an appointment to have their bulk trash picked up. Remember, bulk trash is only collected once a month in your zone, so if a holiday occurs on your bulk trash pickup week, you will have to wait until the next month.

Be sure to separate metal, brush, electronics, and bulk trash, and neatly stack these items at your curbside so they do not

wind up in the road or cause someone to fall on them. To reduce the risk of accidents, do not put out items scheduled for bulk pick up earlier than the Wednesday before a scheduled pick up. Sorry, no construction or demolition materials will be picked up.

Besides calling for an appointment to pick up bulk trash, residents can also schedule a pickup at lakewood.mobile311. com, which they can save as an icon to make it an app. Although the application is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the DPW is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., exclusive of holidays. All requests, however, will be viewed the next business day.

Zone Areas by Street Location: Zone 1 – Carey Street, 14th Street Area Zone 2 – Ridge Avenue, Ocean Avenue, Park Avenue Zone 3 – New Central Avenue, Gudz Road, Miller Road Zone 4 – Manor Drive, Erica Road, Lucy Road, Belgian Hill Road

Polish American Club Of Toms River Trip

TOMS RIVER – The Polish American Club of Toms River will host a trip to Caesars to see Brenda Lee’s holiday show on December 1. The price is $72, which includes the show

and $25 slot play.

For more information and tickets, call Helen Gulya 908-910-8681 or Janice Zwolinski 732-240-1556.

Faith Bible Church OP Welcomes Guests To Worship

BRICK – Faith Bible Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a reformed, confessional, Presbyterian church. The church holds Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and Worship services at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. every Sunday. The church is located at 307 Mantoloking Road.

The congregation is part of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, a denomination which began in 1937. The church is one of 21 churches in the Presbytery of New Jersey. The OPC believes the

Bible to be the inerrant, infallible and inspired Word of God. It is the only rule of faith and obedience.

As a confessional church, they hold to the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation as encapsulated in its secondary standards the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms. They believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to the Bible as the final authority and all for the glory of God alone.

In February 2013, Redeemer OPC in Seaside Heights and Faith Bible Independent Presbyterian in Brick merged to form Faith Bible OPC, now at its current Brick location.

Redeemer OPC started as a mission work in Toms River in 1996 and became a particular congregation in 2000. The congregation then met in Seaside Heights until Hurricane Sandy in 2012 made the meeting place unusable.

Faith Bible Independent Presbyterian began in

1954 after leaving the Presbyterian Church USA. At that time the name of the congregation was the Presbyterian Church of West Mantoloking. In 1955, the congregation became a part of the Bible Presbyterian denomination. The congregation withdrew from that denomination in 1956 after a division in the BP denomination and remained independent until the two congregations merged in 2013.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of november 18 - november 24

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): One isn’t necessarily the loneliest number. Having some time to yourself may provide some muchneeded space and allow you to clear your head.

Keep your money in the piggy bank unless it is absolutely necessary to spend it.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Maintain an eye for detail. Even the smallest improvement can make a world of difference, whether it is straightening out a picture or making decorative decisions. Your calm and objective demeanor makes you the perfect mediator.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave well enough alone. Back off if someone doesn’t want to discuss an issue as continual prying could create friction.

Don’t assume that others’ lack of motivation puts you in charge or you will quickly be proven wrong.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Set the bar low. If you keep expectations within reason you won’t run any risk of being disappointed by the results. Focus on finishing tasks and tying up loose ends but avoid trying to start anything new.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t bet on it.

Conditions may change such that what may at first seem like a sure thing could turn into a bum steer. Turn your energies toward honoring commitments and responsibilities but don’t add anything new to your plate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even at a bargain price, a useless item is still useless. Don’t get so caught up in a sales pitch that you forget that the best way to save money is to not spend it. Keep spending at a minimum until later in the week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Let the chips fall where they may. Trying to manipulate a situation to your benefit could have dire consequences so allow events to unfold naturally. Romantic pursuits may not be particularly inspiring but patience will pay off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): There is a time and a place for everything. While your heart may yearn for romance you brain should be telling you there is much to be done. Prioritize tasks in order of importance and save flights of fancy for later in the week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Keep your ears open. Listening to what somewhat else has to say could shed valuable light on a situation that may have been problematic for you. When shopping, your policy should be look but don’t touch.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Make sure that the only toes that you’re standing on are your own. Offering criticism or unsolicited help to someone may breed more contempt than appreciation. You’ll get a lot more done if you work on your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Don’t take it personally. Someone else’s rotten mood could be contagious if you allow them to get under your skin.

You may find that you are far more productive when you tackle projects by yourself rather than in a group.

PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): Be logical, not emotional. Sometimes, when you are faced with horrible choices, it may be better to make no decision at all rather than a poor one. Taking the road less-traveled may lead you to someplace exciting and new.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen It’s Not Too Soon To Start Talking Turkey For Thanksgiving

By Wolfgang Puck

After I moved to the United States in 1973, one of the many interesting American phrases I learned about was “to talk turkey.” I discovered it traced all the way back to colonial times, and most explanations suggest it was first spoken by a Native American after a settler he had gone hunting with tried, with some deceitful talking, to cheat him out of the larger of the two game birds they had bagged together.

So, “talk turkey” generally means to get right to the point. And those words start taking on a very literal meaning now, with Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away.

I think it’s very important to talk about your Thanksgiving turkey as soon as possible for two key reasons. Knowing how you plan to cook the bird will help you plan all the other dishes you’ll be serving before, alongside, and after it.

It also makes good sense to order your turkey as soon as possible to make sure you get a fresh one that’s the right size - count on around 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) per person, which will also give you some leftovers - as well as properly raised, grain-fed, humanely processed, and free of artificial ingredients such as preservatives or food coloring.

As you’ll see from the following recipe, these days I generally like to cook a turkey fairly simply. Instead of brining it overnight, which for most people can be an inconvenient process, I take more basic measures to ensure tender, juicy results.

I spread a quickly prepared butter, seasoned with fresh rosemary, under the skin covering the breast, which helps keep the leaner white meat from drying out during the long roasting process. I also place the turkey on top of a bed of aromatic vegetables, which helps the oven’s heat circulate evenly under the bird while it cooks while also flavoring the juices that collect in the roasting pan. And, following an initial 45 minutes of undisturbed roasting time, I baste the turkey every 20 minutes with the flavorful pan juices, helping to keep the meat moist while also promoting a deep golden-brown skin.

Speaking of moisture, I think a little sauce served with the carved turkey is an ideal way to add extra juicy flavor to every single bite. One of my favorite sauces is based on the widely available bottled juice of pomegranates, a fruit in season right now whose deep ruby color and tangy, tart-sweet flavor is perfect for an autumn feast.

I hope my recipe inspires lots of happy talk about the turkey around your Thanksgiving table this year.

RO SEM A RY BU T T ER- BA ST E D WHOLE ROASTED TURKEY WITH POMEGRANATE SAUCE Serves 12 1 whole turkey, about 20 pounds (10 kg) 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 large yellow onions, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks 4 large celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 to 4 cups (500 ml to 1 L) chicken stock or broth 1 cup (250 m L) bot tled unsweetened pomegranate juice 1 cup (250 mL) pomegranate seeds, removed from a whole fruit yourself, or purchased a ready extracted and packaged Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Remove the neck, giblets and liver from the turkey’s cavity.

Rinse inside and out with cold running water and pat dry.

In a small mixing bowl, mash together the butter, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. At the neck opening of the bird, carefully insert your fingers to separate the turkey’s breast skin from the meat; spread the butter mixture in between.

Rub the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper. Spread the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, giblets, neck and liver on the bottom of a roasting pan large enough to hold the turkey.

Place the turkey on top. Rub the turkey with 1 cup of olive oil.

Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven.

Roast for 45 minutes, then begin basting every 20 minutes, adding chicken stock to the pan as needed to keep the vegetables from burning.

Roast the turkey for between 15 minutes and 20 minutes per pound (500 g) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh meat without touching bone registers at least 165 F (74 C) and no more than 180 F (82 C). Remove the pan from the oven, loosely cover the turkey with foil, and leave it in a warm place to rest until serving.

Meanwhile, place the roasting pan over two burners on the stovetop. Add the pomegranate juice to the pan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits.

Carefully pour the liquid through a wire-mesh strainer into a saucepan and, with a ladle, skim off excess fat from the surface. Simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce has thickened slightly; transfer to a sauceboat and keep warm.

Transfer the turkey to a carving board. Using a sharp carving knife, cut off the legs and thighs, moving them to locate the joins and then carefully cut through the joints; cut off the meat in slices parallel to the bone. Starting along the high point of the breastbone, carefully cut downward following the ribs to completely cut off one side of the breast; then, place it on the cutting board and cut crosswise into thick slices.

Transfer the slices to individual heated serving plates and garnish each serving with some sauce and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds.
