It was the first punt return touchdown of his career. “Vinny returned punts last year for us,” winning coach Kevin Callahan said. “The punt return is something we work a lot on

people who want to make sure it’s protected,” said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “With the passage of Ballot Question No. 2, money that comes from environmental settlements will serve environmental purposes. It means we can clean-up and make our communities whole
again after they’ve been devastated by toxic pollution. The money will go towards restoring wetlands, cleaning up streams, planting trees, rebuilding parks, protecting our drinking water, and other issues that arise after a community has been devastated by toxic contamination.”

Freeholder Director Vicari Proposes E-ZPass Commuter Discount
OCEA N COU N T Y – A n E -Z Pa ss d iscou nt for commuters along the G a rde n St at e Pa rk way a nd New Je r sey Tu r np i ke wo u l d g o a l o n g way to ease the burden of la st yea r’s ga soli ne tax increase, said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. Vicari sent a letter to t h e Ne w Je r s e y Tu r n pi ke Aut hor it y, wh ich oversees both highways, suggesting that E-ZPass offer a discount to pri-
vate vehicles that travel a m i n i mu m nu mber of miles on either roadway. “Ocean County is home to more than 90,000 commuters who t ravel outside of the county to go to work. The vast majority of these men and women use the Garden State Parkway,” Vicari said in the let ter to Author it y Chairman Richard Hammer. “Ocean County also has more Parkway miles than any other county in the state.”
Last year’s 23-cent gasoline tax increase also had an unfair impact on local drivers, who travel farther than most other commuters to reach their workplaces, Vicari said. “The lack of a public t ranspor t ation net work similar to the one that bl a n ke t s t h e n o r t h e r n counties also forces our residents to rely on their vehicles.” he said. Vicari said the discount would apply only to private, noncommercial ve-
hicles. “We’re focusing on the commuters who pay out of their pocket every day t o sup p or t t hei r fa m ilies,” he said. Vicari said the amount of the discount and det a i l s a b o u t h ow m a ny miles would need to be traveled before it takes e f f e c t c a n b e wo r k e d out by the Turnpike Authority. “The impor tant thing right now is for the Authority to take this under
serious consideration so people will know efforts are being made to help,” he said. Vicari was a staunch opponent of the gasoline tax increase because of the unjust impact it has on Ocean County commuters. He also petitioned the state Legislature to institute an income tax credit for drivers who travel a cer tain distance to and from work each year. “More than 82 percent
of ou r com muters rely on their vehicles to reach work,” he said. “According to the census, only 2 percent use mass transportation.” Vicari said whether it be a tax credit or toll discount, the state must do more to help commuters who drive to work. “The county can’t do it alone,” he said. “I will continue to petition state off icials u ntil ou r residents receive the help they need.”
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 t axpayers i n Ocean County and throughout New Jersey as a deduction on federal income tax returns.

Board of Chosen Freeholders recently passed a resolution expressing “its strong opposition to any tax reform proposal that would eliminate the SA LT d e d u c t io n ,” a c cording 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 Associat ion of Cou nt ie s , t he National Association of Cou nt ies, the Nat ional
League of Cities and the United States Conference of Mayors. Accord i ng to t hese organizations, eliminati ng or cappi ng federal de duc t ibi l it y for st at e 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 gover nments wou ld place ext reme pressure on Ocean Count y’s b u d g e t i n cl u d i n g diminished revenue for essential local gover n-
m e nt i nve s t m e nt s , i n cluding public safety and public i n f rast r uct u re,” accordi ng to the Free holder resolut ion. “I ncreased 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 t h a n i t s f a i r s h a r e of taxes to the federal government with one of the worst returns. The average New Jersey t a x p aye r p a id $18 , 367 in federal income taxes,
behind only Connecticut, New York, and Massachu setts. 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 impor tance of t h is de duction,” Vicari said. “It has been of true value for more than 100 years. We need to make certain it is not eliminated.”
Singer Will Help Lakewood Student-Athletes Get A Look At College Life At NCA A Basketball Game LAKEWOOD – Senator Robert Singer (R-Ocean, Monmouth) is leading an effort to inform Lakewood athletes about the importance of balancing studies and sports by taking them on a trip to see the Monmouth University Hawks take on the Seton Hall Pirates in a men’s basketball game next month. Singer helped arrange for 200 Lakewood High School student athletes to attend
an NCAA basketball game. “These kids have a passion for sports, and some might even want to continue playing after high school,” Senator Singer said. “We wanted to give them a chance to get a taste of what it takes to succeed at the highest level of NCAA basketball.” The 30th District — along with help from former Seton Hall Board of Regents member Lawrence Bathgate, general counsel to the
Lakewood Board of Education Michael Inzelbuch, Lakewood Superintendent Laura Winters and athletic director Vincent Curao — have arranged for approximately 200 Lakewood High School student athletes to travel to the Prudential Center, in Newark, to see the Hawks face off against the Pirates on Nov. 12. In addition to taking in the basketball game, the Lakewood students will
hear from a member of the Seton Hall Athletic Department about the importance of balancing studies and athletics. “Sports can be important par t of a st udent’s life and their growth, but it’s important that they don’t forget about their school work,” Singer said. “This is going to be a great opportunity for these kids to lea r n how to st r i ke that balance.”

of Bay Head, Harpoon Willy’s, Porta, Prime 13, and Yussi’s Deli and back by popular demand this year was the Vodka Lounge that served samplings from Tito’s and Broken Shed Vodka. Throughout the night, guests tried their luck on a 50/50 raffle, silent auction and wine jail while listening to tunes from the Mike Dalton Band. The 50/50 winner was a Cancer Support Community volunteer who won over $4,000 while the silent auction winners went home with jewelry,
Broadway show tickets, restaurant gift cards and more. In addition, the wine jail held 50 bottles of wine hostage until they were freed with a $20 donation.

Event To Benefit Early Grade Reading Initiative FARMINGDALE – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Women United hosted a Casino Night on Oct. 12 at the Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury, located at 1 Obre Place. More than 140 guests enjoyed classic casino games, dinner, open bar, and the chance to win a 50/50 raffle and 78 chance auction baskets. Sponsored by Atlantic Auto Body, Branning Collision Centers, CAPP General Contractors, The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, OceanFirst Bank, Optum360 and Patricia & Carl Howard, the event raised over $34.000. Event proceeds will benefit United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ work in education, specifically its Early Grade Reading initiative. “The current focus of Women United is the Early Grade Reading initiative, which provides summer reading and enrichment opportunities that help combat the summer slide,” says Kelly Fliller, Women United Co-Chair. “During the summer months, children with limited or no access to books and activities fall behind. Each year a child is without these resources, the learning gap widens. By fourth grade, they will never
catch up with their peers. Funds raised by this event will advance our work in education and help children read to learn, instead of learning to read, by fourth grade.” Since its inception in 2014, Women United has now raised more than $132,000. Funds have enabled two additional classrooms of students to attend the Horizons at Rumson Country Day School program, keeping more Red Bank children engaged and learning over the summer break. Three literacy specialists have been provided for the Horizons at Rumson Country Day School and Red Bank Primary School summer programs to provide reading instruction to students who need the most intervention. Summer literacy program activities at the YMCA of Western Monmouth County have been enhanced with the addition of a Smart Board, which offers access to educational websites, powerful assessment software and teacher-made materials tailored to a class’s needs.

The Arc Of Monmouth Honors Rob Ilvento
TINTON FALLS – The Arc of Monmouth will honor entrepreneur and parent-advocate for autism awareness Rob Ilvento at its annual Winter Glow gala on Dec. 1 at Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club, Farmingdale. All proceeds benefit the 1,600 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) served by The Arc in Monmouth County. With a theme on “Get Your Glow On,” the gala will feature celebrity auctioneer Nick Dawes from Antique Roadshow, pinball, casino games, cocktails, dinner, a rocking 10-piece band, and plenty of “glowing” surprises to keep guests entertained all night long. The event also offers a super 50/50 and a restaurant raffle featuring dozens of the finest establishments at the Jersey Shore. “Aside from the fun and excitement of the gala, we are thrilled to recognize Rob Ilvento for his longtime support of the autistic and I/DD community, as both a business leader and dedicated father,” said Holly Annarella Flego, Colts Neck, chair of this year’s event.
Ilvento founded the Silverball Museum in response to his daughter’s love of pinball, which seemed to help with her autism. Her love of the arcade games prompted him to begin collecting pinball machines and finally open a museum and arcade on the Asbury Park boardwalk in 2009. A USA Today Readers Poll recently named the Silverball Museum and Arcade the “Best Attraction in New Jersey.” Ilvento often hosts autism awareness events and fundraising event at the Silverball Museum and welcomes patrons with special needs. A true entrepreneur, Ilvento started the Cluck U Chicken chain as a college student at Rutgers and now owns several thriving businesses, including the Jersey Shore Fry Company and Silverball Museums in New Jersey and Florida.

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.

Shrewsbury Chorale Hodie Holiday Concert
RUMSON – The Shrewsbury Chorale, one of Monmouth County’s premier choruses, invites the public to celebrate the Christmas holiday with a concert of fine choral music entitled, Hodie Holiday (pronounced hoh-dee-ay). Hodie is a Latin word meaning “today.” All of the musical selections share a common Latin text, Hodie Christus Natus Est (Today Christ is born), yet differ in mood, style, texture, and historical period. The program will include a collection of shorter musical settings by Sweelinck, Gabrieli, Carter, Leavitt, Willan, and Poulenc. Hodie (This Day), a cantata by contemporary British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, will be the featured work. This stunning modern musical tale of the Christmas story employs soprano, tenor, and baritone soloists, plus adult and children’s choruses. In this performance, The Shrewsbury Chorale welcomes the children of The
Concordia Junior Chorale, directed by John and Cynthia Balme. Maestro Neil F. Brown, starting his second season as permanent Music Director, will conduct the performance. Our accompanist, John Balme, will showcase his considerable musical talents on the organ. The concert will take place on Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. at the beautiful St. George by the River Church, 7 Lincoln Ave. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for students and seniors, and $10 for children. Advance ticket sales are discounted. A reception of holiday treats follows the concert. The venue is ADA accessible and the performance is partially funded by the Monmouth County Arts Council. Call 732-747-1362, email theshrewsburychorale@gmail.com, or visit shrewsburychorale.org.

A replica of the car from Knight Rider greeted people outside the Pine Belt Arena. By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Batman was born when Bruce Wayne’s parents met their end in Crime Alley. Spider-Man was created when Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider. And the Superhero Superfest had its origin this year at what organizers say will be an annual event. The Pine Belt Arena, which is on the grounds of Toms River High School North, hosted the show. It was made up of dozens of tables and vendors surrounding audience seating for several events throughout the day. There were also separate areas for activities such as a Jedi Academy or a Hogwarts class. The vendors sold comics, of course, but also figurines and quite a bit of games. There were a lot of local businesses, such as insurance companies or travel agencies. The workers staffing those tables frequently wore costumes or engaged the public in comic-inspired games. There was a healthy amount of people in costume, and random attendees would flag
a cosplayer down to get a picture taken with them. An Artist’s Alley, made up of people making their own art and comics, was pretty busy during the day. Bill Barbato, events coordinator for Press Communications, which ran the show, said the convention will be the “fi rst of many.” He estimated more than 800 people in attendance. “It’s a great showing for a fi rst time event.” Their goal was to create a family-friendly event for children and adults to pursue their passions, and celebrate art and creativity, he said. The show advertised appearances by Fear The Walking Dead’s Danay Garcia, and footballers Sean Landeta, Eric Dorsey, and Stephen Baker. Unfortunately, one of the guests was not able to make it. Rene Auberjonois, best known in Sci-Fi circles for his role on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, called the showrunners and apologized profusely for being too ill to make the trip.

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.

Manchester’s Queen Carolyn Is The Age Of Elegance
LISTEN ON WOBM AM 1160 & 1310 PREFERRED COMPANY! Featuring
Joel & Marianne Monday–Friday 8-10 a.m. Be sure to tune in for...
Carolyn Slade Harden performing “For Once In My Life.” By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – This year’s Ms. Senior America was just crowned after a 3-day pageant at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on October 19. Queen Carolyn Slade Harden, who lives in the Renaissance at Manchester, won the state crown at the Ms. New Jersey Senior America pageant this summer. Her modest reason for throwing her hat in the ring was to volunteer more and give back to her community. “I had no idea that I would actually win the national title as well,” she said. The “Age of Elegance” competition is designed for women who are 60 years of age or older. Harden shared her philosophy, gown, private interview and talent with the judges, singing “For Once In My Life,” to earn the title of queen. She has been singing since she was young, having studied opera at Arts High School in Newark and landing star ring roles in Madame Butterf ly, Aida and Carmen. She also performed i n gospel g roups alongside Dion ne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston, and served as choir director at churches throughout the state. Although she will likely perform in other states as part of her Ms. Senior America duties, Harden said her role will also focus on recruitment.
–Photos by Sherri McGhie
“We do have a platform – it’s primarily to inspire our peers and mentor the youth – it’s considered the Age of Elegance and letting our peers know that there’s more to life, don’t stop living, it’s never too late to pursue your dreams and to be active, and we still have a lot to give and we’re encouraging other women to do the same.” This year, 37 states participated in the Ms. Senior America pageant out of 40 that were on the roster. Harden hopes to get the word out to additional states and encourage more women to become involved. She said there are many women out there doing good work in their communities, but who may not be getting recognized. She also hopes to link up with more youth, in particular to get more colleges and u niversities involved and to mentor students. This is something she already has some experience with through her Harden Institute for Financial Independence, or HIFI Club. She helps young people, some of them members of her own family, which is stretched across 36 states, lear n the impor tance of money, plan for their future, and get financially ready for college. “It will be a busy year,” she said, “A bigger crown and a lot more responsibility.”

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.
