Christmas Light Show To Help MS Society

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The show is back again this year.

The Cook’s Christmas Lights will again dazzle guests while raising money for a good cause, National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Last year, the Cook family raised $7,800 for the society, a number they hope to surpass this

season. All money raised goes to the society.

The synchronized lights-andmusic show this year features even more lights—more than 20,000 in total, up from 14,000 last year. It’s so much that the family starts prepping for it –Photo courtesy the Cook family during the summer. It’s run by Every year, the Cook family puts on a Christmas light show as a fundraiser.

Soccer Star Joins ShopRite To Make Holiday Meal Donation To Fulfill

Show:

Michael Cook said this year’s display may be his most important.

“This year’s display seems even more important than previous years. We have seen an increase in violence and hate around the world during the past year,” Cook said.

“Regardless of the cause, it is distressing and saddening. We hope that our display gives people some comfort and helps spread joy during the holiday season.”

Continued From Page 1 a 1,008-bulb pixel matrix. And this year, they have added four singing faces to the display.

“Fighting hunger in the community is at the heart of ShopRite’s charitable giving, and ShopRite’s annual donation of 60 tons of turkeys to food banks means that thousands of families in need will have the opportunity to sit down to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner,” Christine Magyarits, ShopRite’s Community Relations Manager, said.

Rampone, a four-time Olympian and gold medalist, served as captain of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team, the longest serving from 2008-2015. She is the only member to be part of two Women’s World Cup Championship teams in 1999 and 2015. She’s also a four-time Olympian and gold medalist.

Ocean County native and soccer star Christie Pearce Rampone, with her daughters Reece and Rylie, helped deliver 2,000 turkeys and 2,000 pounds of fresh produce from ShopRite to Fulfill, formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

“I’m really excited to be here today to help ShopRite provide good, nutritious food to our neighbors in need, and I’m thankful for partners like Fulfill food bank and the great work they do to help feed people and fight food insecurity in Ocean and Monmouth counties,” Pearce Rampone said.

Tax Code:

Continued From Page 1 try,” he said. It needs to go from a “highrate, high-loophole system to a low-rate, low-loophole system.”

He asked a rhetorical question to the audience, to see how many of them have lawyers working for them to find loopholes to get out of paying taxes.

MacArthur said that if a family makes less than $24,000, they won’t have to fill out a lot of forms, just one small card.

However, there is a lot of work still left to do. The plans still have a lot of criticism, from both sides of the aisle.

He took this time to speak of his support on the House version of the bill, even though it is not everything he wanted.

“If I waited to vote ‘yes’ for a perfect bill, I’d never vote,” he said.

Mnuchin said he expected both the House and Senate versions to pass. After that, the lawmakers need to hammer out the strengths and weaknesses of both bills to get a consensus.

“The code has become so complex,” Ivanka Trump said. “Simplifications ultimately democratizes the tax code.”

How Families Will Be Affected Ivanka Trump touted the plan as one that helps middle class families, such as a move to increase the income that one can claim while still receiving a child credit.

Of note is the expansion of child tax credits and credits for non-child dependents, such as elderly family members living with you, she said.

The last time the tax code had a significant overhaul was 31 years ago, she said. Today, there are more people in two-income households, out of necessity.

“The world is very different today, and we need a tax code that reflects that,” she said. “The credits that remain intact are the credits that help families.”

“I’m in a position that is far more fortunate than most,” Trump said. Child care is the single largest expense for half the country, geographically. “It’s not sustainable. Having more money in their pocket, parents will know how to spend it.”

The middle class would see a cut, Mnuchin said. However, those earning more than $1 million would see an increase.

“We ran hundreds of examples” of people of differing income levels, “to make sure people get real tax cuts,” he said.

How Businesses Will Be Affected Mnuchin said this administration’s goal is creating growth and bringing jobs back to America. There are too many loopholes that allow corporations to keep their income offshore. The tax code would incentivize bringing this money back home.

The plan is that providing cuts to businesses, from small businesses to corporations, would work its way down to the owners growing their companies and reinvesting in them, he said. This would increase the gross domestic product and absorb the extra debt that’s in the bill.

Critics of the tax plan have noted $1.5 trillion in extra debt that the current plans would create.

The Manchester Times, November 25, 2017, Page 5 MacArthur chose to ask one question from “Maryann in North Beach,” asking how the plan would affect a mom and pop shop.

Mnuchin said most small stores like that are called “pass-throughs” and there will be “the lowest rate on pass-throughs since the 1930s.” Small businesses would be able to write off 100 percent of expenses.

“They do a lot better job with that money than the federal government,” he said.

Several in the audience agreed out loud with him.

“When you think the future is bright, you hire more people,” MacArthur added.

Local Politicians Sound Off Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato opened the event, welcoming the crowd and introducing the first speaker, Gov. Chris Christie.

“America can’t be a strong leader around the world without a strong economy at home,” Christie said.

After the event, Lacey Mayor Peter Curatolo, a Republican, said he supports the tax plan.

“When you incentivize business, and increase deductions, businesses will grow,

people will keep more of what they earn and they will reinvest into their homes, local economies and family future,” he said.

“I think any time a member of the First Family, along with the United States Secretary of the Treasury, and our Congressman come to the local level and address residents from Lacey Township and the surrounding area, then that is emblematic that they care

Parade:

Continued From Page 1 march through downtown Toms River , was called off on account of rain.

Certainly, soldiers who had seen combat and been deployed into hostile situations have dealt with worse than rain, but it was really more about the children coming out to the event, officials said.

Bob Larned, the chairman of the Toms River Township Veterans Commission, said that there were veterans ready to march. And those who have trouble marching are transported on vehicles through the parade.

“There were a number of seniors who showed up. Some were ready to go regardless of the weather,” he said. There were definitely people upset that the parade was cancelled. The issue really came back to the school system.

There were seven school bands scheduled to perform and about 1,000 children that were going to be bused over to see the parade, he said.

The health and safety of the kids was the most important thing “and we couldn’t ask them to sit out in the rain for an hour,” he said.

The school involvement is why the parade was held on a Monday rather than on Saturday, which was actually Veterans Day, he added. They can provide the busing on a Monday easier than on a Saturday.

“It makes a big difference, having the children there,” he said. Hopefully, it’s a learning experience for them.

Sadly, if the school doesn’t send children, there aren’t too many people who will turn out for the parade, said Mike Schaffer, commander of the American Legion Post 129.

“If we knew that 10,000 people would be out there, it would’ve been handled differ-

D.C.:

Continued From Page 1 MacArthur referred to towns like Berkeley as “the heart and soul of this great state.”

At one point, when discussing how many senior citizens are in his district, he said the crowd was “a pretty good picture of what our district is all about.”

Gov. Chris Christie also said that this was the “heart of New Jersey...where people come to work and raise families.”

Antonio Nieves, president of the Bayville Volunteer Fire Company, said the Mayor’s office

The Manchester Times, November 25, 2017, Page 7 ently,” he said.

Both Schaffer and Larned said that the township and the governing body has been very good to the veterans community.

The date of the New Jersey Education Association’s convention was changed so that it wound up close to Veterans Day, Mayor Thomas Kelaher said. This made it harder to coordinate the date. Schools had an entire week off, since the Thursday and Friday that was off for the teachers’ convention fell right after the Tuesday that was off for election day.

“It’s not the best idea because it’s a weekday.

The weekend would be less traffic,” Kelaher said.

The township tried to have a smaller event inside in response to the rain, he said. He wound up hosting a group of JROTC students.

Toms River Superintendent David Healy said the district was not involved in the organization of the parade, but that the students and teachers are very active participants.

“It’s something we all look forward to every year,” he said.

There’s an educational value to the students participating in the parade. They learn about the sacrifices that veterans made and learn to appreciate their service, he said. In the past, veterans have asked him about why the school doesn’t close on Veterans Day. When he explained that the children take part in the parade and learn about veterans, they appreciate it more.

“It’s the best way to celebrate (Veterans Day) because they actively participate, rather than sit home on a holiday,” he said.

Veterans Day will be on a Sunday next year, so the parade will likely be on Monday the 12th in 2018, he said. After 2018, Nov. 11 will fall on weekdays until 2023 (because of a leap year).

contacted him to see if the hall was available.

“After that, everything fell into place.”

The company was very excited to host these players on the national and international stages, he said.

The Bayville Fire Company flag was part of the backdrop behind the guest speakers, in full view of the cameras that would broadcast that image worldwide.

Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department had their bomb-sniffing dogs patrolling the building, and were supporting efforts headed

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY e DitoRiAL Tax Discussion Wasn’t Discussed With Public There was a tax discussion held in Berkeley Township on Nov. 13, between Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-3rd), Secretary of the Treasury St eve M nuch i n , a nd Ivanka Trump.

The event was a great oppor tunity for local residents to hear more about the thought processes behind the GOP’s tax plan. However, they really didn’t hear our thought processes.

As guests filed into the building, they were asked to fill out a card if they had any questions. However, only one question from the public was asked, about how the tax plan would affect small businesses.

This is a great question, but there were probably a lot more great ques-

t ion s t hat d id n’t get asked.

T h is was a mostly Republican crowd. It w a s n’t l i ke M a cA rthur’s town hall a few months ago where the public ripped into him. In Berkeley, there were local mayors and elected officials in the f ront rows, and they had questions, too. And t he que st ion s wou ld have been asked in a respectable way. The crowd, who had arrived as early as 8:30 a.m. for a 10:30 a.m. hour-long event, did not have a chance to really express themselves. They really deserved to have had their voices heard.

The discussion should have gone two ways.

Otherwise, it’s a lecture.

Letters To The Editor Support Needed For The Capital To The Coast Trail

Fifteen years ago an idea was born to create a multipurpose trail that would traverse the state from the beautiful beachfront of Manasquan to Trenton, our state capital. The first section of the proposed trail would go through Manasquan, Wall Township, Howell Township, Jackson Township, Freehold Township, Millstone, Roosevelt and Upper Freehold. This concept was presented to the mayors of the communities, the Monmouth County Freeholders, planning board members, town administrators and other interested parties. After much discussion, the 46 members at the original meeting all agreed that this concept was worth investigation.

The goal established at this meeting was to create a recreational greenway to link our towns to existing open spaces and parkland in partnership with State, County and local governments, conservation and community groups. The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Monmouth County Parks Commission, the Monmouth County Planning Board and the communities the trail would go through passed resolutions in support of the trail.

The trail starts on the beautiful Manasquan oceanfront beach and moves on to Wall Township by Orchard Park, with a bypass to the Municipal Complex and

sports complex at Wall.

The bike, walk, or jog through to have higher medical bills Letters To The Editor trail continues on through Allenwood, by the State owned Spring Meadow Golf Course, into Allaire State Park, which is one of the most beautiful historic state parks with historic Allaire Village. The trail continues on to Howell Township passing the athletic complex in Howell through heavily forested lands leading to the Manasquan Reservoir. The Reservoir contains woods and wetlands, a five-mile multipurpose trail around the Reservoir, fishing and boating areas, a visitor’s center and an Environmental Center. This multiple purpose trail, which is part of the Capital to the Coast Trail, accommodates thousands of bikers, joggers, walkers and equestrians every year.

The trail then moves on to Freehold Township where it passes through Turkey Swamp Park, a County park.

Here you will find boating activities and the Turkey Swamp Park Family Campground. From there the trail heads to Millstone where one will pass through beautiful farmlands. A future spur is in the planning stages to the Monmouth Battlegrounds Park. The trail then moves on to Perrineville Lake Park where one can enjoy the beautiful lake and countryside. From Perrineville Lake Park the trail moves on to the historic town of Roosevelt where you may visit the Roosevelt’s Little White House, a State Historic site built in 1932.

untouched wilderness. From there you will bike on to the Assunpink State Wildlife Management Area.

This trail will then go into Mercer County and on to Trenton, our State Capital.

This trail, when completed, will be the second longest multiple purpose trail in the state of New Jersey. The trail will go through seven Monmouth County municipalities, many community parks, three county parks, one state park and two state wildlife management areas.

The planned route will have approximately 85 percent off-road trails in Monmouth County. Since the conception of the trail, seven communities in Monmouth and Mercer Counties have received over $3.5 million for the construction of this trail.

During the fifteen years since the concept of a multipurpose trail was born, we have gone through normal procedures to obtain financial support for the trail either through direct financial support or to receive funding through grants for construction of the trail.

H o w e v e r, w e w e r e n o t successful. Therefore, we are asking the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders for financial support and to apply for state and federal grants to complete the trail.

When the trail is completed, it will be the most beautiful multipurpose trail in New Jersey. It will be a quality-of-life amenity that is meaningful for all ages.

It will provide intrinsic environmental, aesthetic and recreational benefits to our citizens and to our cities and towns for many generations to come.

Why Do I Vote Republican?

I am wondering why I vote for Republicans for Congress.

I have been retired for 30 years and I do itemize my deductions on my 1040. Now I and all seniors that itemize stand to lose the state, local and now medical deductions.

We seniors are more likely

even after coverage of some

by Medicare.

Now this is the main reason for my tirade. Why doesn’t congress reduce the increased taxation on our Social Security benefits? Former Democrat Senator Bradley’s vote increased that tax from 35 percent to 85 percent and after his term was over he left New Jersey, because even he could not afford the taxes to live here?

Did you seniors forget that little item?

I contacted Congressman MacArthur and his office listened to my lament, but on the other hand Congressman Chris Smith, also Republican, did not want to listen because I was not in his legislative district.

So much for taxation with representation!

Bill McPhail Toms River

A Letter For Congressman MacArthur I am contacting you because you have been an enabler of the horrendous gun killing that is going on in our country.

You are a definite friend of the NRA and hence have voted to allow assault weapons to be sold to the public as well as repealing Obama’s law of background checks for mentally ill people to purchase guns. Because of this, so many innocent people have died. You have their blood on your hands, so I know the NRA is certainly more important to you than the lives of these innocents.

About this new “tax cut.”

You are among the rich that this tax plan greatly benefits.

As for us, the middle class, we do not benefit. It is like giving us a dollar discount while the rich get a one million dollar tax break. Also, I thought you Republicans were “fiscally conservative.” Where is the money going to come from to enable this “tax cut” to go through? I greatly fear that it will be funded by future cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

I, for one, and many others will remember where you stand and will vote accordingly in the future.

Tax Code:

Continued From Page 5 not. He said his ward will be hit hard from the proposed tax plan.

There are a lot of people who have their second homes in the waterfront sections of his town, and they would see increases. “It will kill the boating industry, too.”

He said he was surprised that the tax plan carried with it an increase of $1.5 trillion in debt.

“There’s a huge debt we will never pay off,” he said.

Protesters At The Gate The event was by invitation only. Therefore, a majority of the audience was made up of Republican politicians, or their friends and families.

MacArthur, who has stood before angry crowds at town halls he’s held, had a different crowd here. He only read one question from an attendee.

One man tried to gain entrance, and when he was not on the list, yelled out “I want to be represented here! It’s not fair!”

Before being asked to leave, he yelled into the room “Are there any Democrats here?

Raise your hand if you’re a Democrat.”

No one answered, but there was at least one. Marianne Clemente, the head of the Barnegat Democrats, had managed to secure a seat inside. At the end of the presentation, she spoke aloud that she wanted to ask a question. No questions were allowed

The Manchester Times, November 25, 2017, Page 9 from the public, and so she shouted out that the tax plan doesn’t help everyone.

They were mostly from the New Jersey Organizing Project, an advocacy group that started after Superstorm Sandy to address issues there but have since branched out to other missions. They held signs asking MacArthur to vote against the tax bill.

“More than 1 in 4 New Jersey residents would face a tax hike while the wealthiest catch the biggest break once the plan is fully implemented,” their literature stated.

Among the issues is SALT: the House’s plan to eliminate the ability to deduct state and local income taxes and sales taxes.

(The all-Republican Ocean County Freeholders have also said they don’t want this eliminated.)

Another issue is that the House version of the bill eliminates the deduction for people who spend more than 10 percent of their income on health expenses. They were also protesting the removal of the House’s student loan deduction, the deduction on losses from disasters, and the deduction for teachers buying supplies out of pocket.

There was another protester standing in the parking lot handing out documents from the LaRouche Political Action Committee attacking F.B.I. Director Robert Mueller, showing a picture of Mueller side by side with the burning Twin Towers after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and urging people to go online to find out more.

Ocean County Historical Society To Host NJ Folk Music History Program

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Historical Society will host New Jersey author Michael Gabriele on Dec. 3, 2 p.m. for a program on his book “New Jersey Folk Revival Music – History and Tradition,” which is published by The History Press.

The book—190 pages with over 80 photos—provides a narrative on the evolution, traditions and history of folk revival music in the Garden State. The story begins in the colonial days of tavern revelers and fiddle players in the 1700s and moves to the magical acoustic sounds heard throughout New Jersey’s Pine Barrens; to the advent of the “Guitar Mania” phenomenon in the mid-1800s; to monumental recordings made

by Woody Guthrie, the Carter Family, Paul Robeson, Jimmie Rodgers and Cecil Sharp at the Victor studios in Camden during the early 1900s; to inspirational concert performances by legendary artists Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan; to the development and growth of music festivals and organizations throughout the state; to the rise of bluegrass and new grass traditions; to the achievements of world-class New Jersey musicians.

Sammy Giberson, the wayfaring fiddler from the mid-1800s, the Pinehawkers and

their performance at the 1941 National Folk Festival, the Albert brother’s “homeplace” cabin in the Waretown woods, and the exploits of musician and author Merce Ridgway Jr. are included among the tales from the Pine Barrens Folk revival music is a “living history” that builds upon time-honored traditions.

The book documents the Garden State’s vast contributions to this musical genre and examines the effects of folk revival music on local history and culture, as well as how it has changed lives—those on stage and those in the audience.

This is Gabriele’s third book on Garden State history published by The History Press.

A lifelong New Jersey resident, he’s a 1975 graduate of Montclair State University and has worked as a journalist and freelance writer for four decades. He’s a member of the executive board of the Nutley Historical Society and serves on the advisory board of the Clifton Arts Center.

The Ocean County Historical Society is located at 26 Hadley Ave., Toms River. Call 732341-1880 for additional information, or visit the organization’s website at oceancounty history.org.

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

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss

There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fi re emergency.

Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fi re. This includes being aware of the availability of flashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place.

Have the proper alerting system: Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you cannot hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fi res occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fi res account for more than half of all home fi re deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drink.

In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a fl ashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all smoke alarms

monthly and change the batteries at least once a year.

People with hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fi res because their hearing instruments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also flash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously.

There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fi re alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great alerting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors.

Plan your escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fi re safety plan and practice it with them. Contact your local fi re department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alarm placement. They can also keep your information on fi le.

For more information about fi re safety, visit usfa.fema.gov.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Seven Life-Saving Reasons You Should Eat Cauliflower

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I was eating dinner with Sam and having home-made chicken soup with a slice of Sourdough bread and melted butter. It was simple and delicious. We ate silently.

Towards the end of the meal, he says to me, “We always eat our soup and bread silently because we are mentally calculating how to time the last bite so it’s perfect.”

LOL! So true. We usually chatter during meals, and tell funny stories, but when soup and bread hit the table, it all goes to silence. I like to time my last bite so it’s soup (to wash down the bread).

Regardless, about this home-made chicken soup…that’s what I really want to talk about. Tonight we made it differently with peas instead of celery (because you need something green) and with red onions instead of white ones. We used shredded cauliflower instead of rice, that was the biggest and most pleasant surprise because I didn’t think it would actually work.

You can buy shredded cauliflower now in bags, in the produce department of your grocery store. Someone should have bagged this stuff decades ago!

Anyway, the cauliflower holds up remarkably well, even days later. It’s acts just like rice except with cauliflower you get the most incredible health benefits. It’s a crucifer, like it’s green cousins broccoli and Brussels sprouts, so it has the same cancer-fighting properties. I want you to start cooking with cauliflower, here’s why: Cauliflower contains sulforaphanes, that’s the compound that gives it a funky sulfur smell. This compound has been isolated and studied. It clearly demonstrates

cancer-fi ghting promise, especially for breast, prostate and other reproductive cancers. This has been shown repeatedly, in both animal models and test tube studies.

Cauliflower contains antioxidants which neutralize free radicals. There are many, but among the more recognizable, we find quercetin, vitamin K, vitamin C, beta-carotene and kaempferol. That last one is incredible, it’s rarely talked about but kaempferol has evidence behind it to show that it can block VEGF production in your body and “suppress ovarian cancer cell metastasis in vitro” according to one research study. Another article suggests kaempferol could interact with estrogen receptors on the cell and slow growth of cancer!

Cauliflower protects your bones because it is a rich, natural source of vitamin K and C, as well as minerals like potassium, manganese and phosphorus.

Cauliflower gives you a low-carb alternative to digestible fiber so it will help you achieve regular bowel movements, while eliminating toxins stuck in the deep crevices of your gut. In fact, sulforaphanes and glucosinolates found in cauliflower fight Helicobacter pylori, and that fact alone should reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Cauliflower contains I3C (Indole 3 Carbinol) which helps metabolize estrogen into anti-cancer by-products and that’s good for both men and women. I3C has been studied for its role in cholesterol and triglyceride synthesis. If you’d like to get some of my recipes using cauliflower, sign up for my newsletter and I’ll email them to you.

Superhero Superfest Has Successful Origin Story

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 “first of many.”

He estimated more than 800 people in attendance. “It’s a great showing for a first 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.

–Photos by Chris Lundy (Top) Steve Fusco’s replica of the car from Knight Rider greeted people outside the Pine Belt Arena. (Bottom) Cosplayers (costumed players) were in a costume contest, and were often seen posing for pictures.

Trip To Longwood Gardens

WHITING – A trip has been planned to Longwood Gardens, a botanical garden consisting of over 1,077 acres of gardens, woodland and meadows in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania in the Brandywine Creek Valley on November 29. Trip departs from St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 180 Route 539, and cost is $56 per person. For more details, contact Stefanie at 732-350-2904.

MAKING ANGELS FOR A GOOD CAUSE

18 Butler Blvd • Bayville 732-237-2220

EXCITING EVENTS –Photo by William Clanton More than 1,600 people came out to Seaside Park to break the record for the most sand angels made.

By William Clanton SEASIDE PARK – Thousands of people came out to the beach in Seaside Park to break the Guinness Book of World Records entry for the largest amount of sand angels made at one time.

Blue skies, warm air and a gentle breeze greeted the 1,609 attendees that gathered along the beach, all set out to break this record. The weather was perfect, clear and welcoming.

Even a rainbow appeared overhead just before the opening ceremony.

The past Guinness record holder, just three months ago, was the city of Ludington, Mich., that successfully created 1,387 sand angels at the same time.

The main purpose of the event was to commemorate the five-year anniversary of Super Storm Sandy and help raise funds for the Ocean County Long Term Recovery Group and the Salvation Army. Ocean First Bank, in conjunction with New Jersey Natural Gas, NJ101.5, WOBM, local newspapers, the Causeway Family of Dealerships and more than 1,600 New Jersey residents gathered together to make history in Seaside Park and break a world record, all while raising more than $30,000. The money raised will support people and businesses still feeling the effects of Super Storm Sandy and the most recent hurricanes.

“Still five years later, believe it or not, there are still a ton of people effected [by Super Storm Sandy],” said Alan Rosenzweig, of Masterpiece Advertising, on behalf of Ocean First.

“One hundred percent of the money is going directly to the Ocean County Long Term Recovery Group as well as the Salvation Army.”

Rosenzweig added that the small registration fee of just $5 turned this fun event into a great fundraiser.

“As New Jersey’s leading community bank, Ocean First was proud to play a major role in helping our neighbors and local businesses get back on their feet following Super Storm Sandy in October of 2012,” said Christopher D. Maher, Chairman and CEO of Ocean First Bank. “Five years later, there are still people and businesses working to fully recover from the devastation caused by Sandy. We thought this would be a fun event and great way to pull the region together to help raise money for those affected by Superstorm Sandy and the recent hurricanes.”

“When Super Storm Sandy hit New Jersey five years ago, we felt that it was really important for us to support the community as they recovered,” said Kathy Durante, executive director of the Ocean First Foundation. “The support that we have here from the community is tremendous.”

The Ocean First Foundation is a community foundation that was founded in 1996 by the bank. The foundation supports local groups and organizations, nonprofits, and schools within their foot print. Of the groups supported, they must have interests like housing, education, health and wellness and supporting a better quality of life.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Take Your Husband’s Car Keys

Dear Joel My problem is a serious one. For at least a few months I have discovered that my husband is driving drunk.

It seems to be mostly at the end of the day but it could be throughout the day as well. I don’t know how to handle this and don’t want to get him into trouble.

Answer I see your problem exactly the other way around. By doing nothing you are getting him into trouble. He is a danger to every person on the road (and off the road). Lives are taken and others ruined by drunk drivers.

If I were you I would demand that he give you his car keys and driver’s license. That is just the beginning. At that point I would contact an attorney who deals specifically with alcoholism and drug addiction.

If he refuses to go, which may very well be the case, I suggest that you go without him. In the meanwhile get him a d r iver, d r ive him yourself or keep him home. I would suggest a bicycle but he is a danger on the road even then if drunk.

Do not let this man drive sober as at this point he is likely to return to his old ways. This entire country is counting on you...Writing to me is a great start but you have a lot of hard work ahead of you.

Let me know how it progresses. I wish you well.

November Events At Manchester Library

MANCHESTER – During November, the Manchester Branch Library has many free activities scheduled! Here are some of the biggest events we have planned for your education and entertainment: “Sumi-e Japanese Painting Demonstration” Monday, November 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. – Sumi-e is the Japanese word for ink wash painting, in which images are captured by the simplest, but, yet most skillful strokes of black Asian ink. Presenter and artist, Glenys Baulderstone, has spent years studying with a master sensei in Japan. In this program Glenys will introduce the history and technique of this mystical art form, which requires spiritual reflection and discipline.

Watch as she almost magically and gracefully conjures images of beauty using just ink, brush, and paper. Please register for this program that is open to adults.

“Operation Torch: The Allied Invasion of North Africa” Tuesday, November 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. – On November 8, 1942 an Anglo-American force landed in French Morocco and Algeria with the aim and goal to gain complete control of North Africa and defeat General Erwin Rommel’s Ger-

man-Italian Army in Libya. The presentation will relate all aspects of this first successful Allied combined operation and how and why it did succeed. The presenter, Paul Zigo, is the Director of the WWII Era Studies Institute and a retired history professor from Brookdale College. The program is open to adults and teens. Please register.

“Art Appraising by Mario Basile” Thursday, November 30 from 1 to 3 p.m. – Mario Basile professionally appraises paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures. Already back by popular demand from September, he will tell you how much your items in these categories are worth and explain how he reached his conclusions. Mr. Basile has been an active member of the art community for over 30 years and is qualified to appraise your valuables. If you are bringing a piece to have appraised it is crucial that you register for one of the limited spaces available. No need to register if you just want to watch!

The Manchester Branch of the Ocean County Library is located at 21 Colonial Drive.

New York Blood Center Needs Blood

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current

inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.”

This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.”

Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are

patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center.

To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, call 800-933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Protect Yourself And Your Family By Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem Esq. Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured.

To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey.

As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle.

UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For in-

stance, you are sitting Michael J. Deem Esq. at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled.

Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility.

Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Register Ready, Formerly We Care Program

NEW JERSEY – The State of New Jersey has adopted “Register Ready” as its Special Needs Registry for Disasters and therefore is replacing the We Care Program.

Register Ready is a free, voluntary and confidential web-based program.

The program allows residents with disabilities or access and functional needs and their families, friends, caregivers and associates an opportunity to provide information to emergency response agencies so emergency responders can better plan to serve them in a disaster or other emergency.

All information collected is confidential and will not be available to the public. The infor-

mation will be held securely and only used for emergency response and planning.

Participants are encouraged to register electronically, if possible, by accessing registerready.nj.gov. Alternatively, they can call New Jersey’s toll-free 2-1-1 telephone service. This service will register people, offer free translation, and provide TTY services for the hearing-impaired.

Additional information can be obtained from local, county and state emergency management agencies.

For more information on this program, contact the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department, Office of Emergency Management at 800-331-8152.

Clean Energy Program Offered

NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities’ Clean Energy Program allows residents, businesses and government to receive tax-free money to make energy related improvements.

Improvements include eliminating drafts

during the winter, lowering utility bills or operating costs, and improving the comfort of indoor spaces.

Call 866-NJSMART, email info@nj cleanenergy.com, or visit NJCleanEnergy. com/TIPS for more information.

NJ Part Of $220 Million Multi-State Settlement With Deutsche Bank

TRENTON – New Jersey is part of a $220 million, multi-state settlement with Deutsche Bank that resolves allegations of fraudulent and anti-competitive conduct involving manipulation by Deutsche Bank of the London Interbank Offered Rate, the state attorney general’s office announced.

LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate that affects financial instruments worth trillions of dollars, and has a widespread impact on global markets and consumers. A half-dozen government agencies and other entities in New Jersey, including the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA), were harmed

by Deutsche Bank’s manipulations.

“This is an important settlement, not only for the potential recovery it provides for government entities and non-profit organizations that were harmed by the actions of Deutsche Bank, but also for the message it sends: that when institutions manipulate financial markets for their own self-serving, profit-driven reasons, they will be held accountable,” said Attorney General Porrino.

Conducted by a working group of 45 State Attorneys General – New Jersey is part of an eight-state Leadership Group spearheading the effort – a multi-state investigation of Deutsche Bank’s conduct found that Deutsche Bank acted improperly with respect to LIBOR in a number of ways. For example, Deutsche Bank employees improperly made internal requests for LIBOR submissions to benefit Deutsche Bank’s own trading positions.

Deutsche Bank also sought to influence other banks’ LIBOR submissions in a manner intended to benefit Deutsche Bank’s trading positions, and received communications from inter-dealer brokers and external traders attempting to influence Deutsche Bank’s LIBOR submissions. At times, Deutsche Bank LIBOR submitters and supervisors expressly acknowledged and indicated they would work to implement the requests they received.

Given this conduct, Deutsche Bank LIBOR submitters and management had strong reason to believe that Deutsche Bank’s and other banks’ LIBOR submissions did not reflect their true borrowing rates – as they were supposed to do in accordance with published guidelines – and that the LIBOR rates submitted by the banks did not reflect the actual borrowing costs of Deutsche Bank and other panel banks.

Deutsche Bank employees did not disclose these facts to the governmental and not-forprofit counterparties with whom Deutsche executed LIBOR-referenced transactions, even though these rates were material terms of the transactions.

Government entities and not-for-profit organizations in New Jersey and throughout the U.S., among others, were defrauded of millions of dollars when they entered into swaps and other investment instruments with Deutsche Bank without knowing that Deutsche Bank and other banks on the U.S. Dollar (USD)-LIBOR-setting panel were manipulating LIBOR. In addition to the New Jersey EDA, entities in New Jersey that were harmed by Deutsche Bank’s conduct and that will receive restitution include the New Jersey State Universities Retirement Fund, the New Jersey Common Pension Fund, the New Jersey Carpenters Annuity Fund, the New Jersey Transit MST Retirement Trust and the Hudson County Improvement Authority.

“This kind of conduct undermines public confidence in our financial institutions and the integrity of the financial markets, and that erosion of public confidence can result in

damage to the entire economy,” said Attorney General Porrino.

Governmental and not-for-profit entities with LIBOR-linked swaps and other investment contracts with Deutsche Bank will be notified if they are eligible to receive a distribution from a settlement fund of $213.35 million. The balance of the settlement fund will be used to pay costs and expenses of the investigation

and for other uses consistent with state laws.

Deutsche Bank is the second of several USD-LIBOR-setting panel banks under investigation by the participating states that has resolved claims against it, and has cooperated with the multi-state investigation. The investigation is ongoing.

The Deutsche Bank investigation on behalf of New Jersey was conducted by the Division of

A Brief Introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) By: Olivia Santamaria, DPT, Whiting Location Physical Therapist

WHAT IS SOFT TISSUE? The term “Soft tissue” refers to the fascia (connective tissue), muscles, tendons, and ligaments that make up the body. Injuries to these areas are a common cause of pain and dysfunction that causes patients to seek the assistance of a physical or occupational therapist. There are a variety of techniques used to treat these conditions, including exercise, modalities, and manual therapies.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is one of the manual techniques a physical or occupational therapist can use to treat these injuries.

WHAT INJURIES ARE MOST COMMONLY TREATED WITH IASTM? The different shapes and edges of the tools allow the clinician to use them around all of the different contours of the body, which make them useful for most conditions seen in the clinic. These tools can be used to break down scar tissue after surgery, decrease pain caused

WHAT IS IASTM, AND WHY IS IT USED? When soft tissue injuries occur, the natural processes of the body lay down new cells to heal the injury. These cells are often laid down in a disorganized pattern and they can bind to the underlying tissues, ultimately restricting the mobility of these structures. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization involves the use of tools to mobilize the soft tissue structures of the body. These tools come in many shapes and sizes, and are made of a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, plastic, jade, (Reinold & Religioso) and ceramic. While the tools may differ in shape and material, they share the common purpose of assisting the clinician with mobilizing the injured soft tissue in order to reduce adhesions (scar tissue), increase blood flow to the injured area, and encourage healing of the damaged tissue.

redness, heat sensation, and sometimes bruising are normal immediately following treatment, and there may be some soreness or discomfort. It is important to not be alarmed by these (Portland physical therapy) symptoms, and recognize that these are temporary symptoms being closely monitored by your therapist. After several treatments, there should be a noticeable change in mobility and function. IASTM, combined with your exercise program, can help you return to your normal daily activities and hobbies.

by sprains and strains to ligaments and muscles, reduce swelling/edema, and alleviate nerve restrictions. Common conditions that warrant use of IASTM treatment are joint replacements, Rotator cuff tears and surgical repairs, plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, and tendonitis.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? Your physical or occupational therapist will evaluate you at your initial visit to determine if your condition warrants the use of IASTM. This will not be the primary treatment, but rather one technique your therapist uses to assist in your recovery. The technique itself involves the clinician using the tool in a scraping motion along the surface of the skin. In order to “re-start” the healing process, your therapist is causing a micro-trauma to the injured area to encourage the body to heal itself. Therefore, temporary

Olivia graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health and a Minor in Gerontology from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2012. She continued her education at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Newark, where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015. While in graduate school, Olivia and her fellow colleagues conducted a study entitled “For individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries, do off-the- shelf video games, compared to standard of care, improve balance, function, and patient satisfaction?”

The abstract was accepted and Olivia presented the poster at the National Combined Section Meeting in 2015.

Since graduating in 2015, Olivia’s primary professional focus has been in the orthopedic outpatient setting, although she has also worked and completed clinical experiences in both acute care and acute rehabilitation. Olivia is a certified LSVT Big clinician, and she has been trained in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. Olivia is interested in non-operative and operative orthopedic conditions, sports rehabilitation, balance and gait dysfunction, and manual therapy. Her future professional plans include becoming a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of november 25 - december 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Watch your step in the upcoming week. You may be tempted to push back if you feel your freedoms have been infringed upon. Avoid making major decisions or purchases as you may be misled by false information.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Kind and sympathetic people may help you reach long term goals, but might not be good advisors for finances. The second half of the week ahead will be better than the first half for decision making and major purchases.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the upcoming week handle extra tasks and responsibilities with good grace. With a holiday on the calendar you might be treated like a “go-fer” or end up at someone’s beck and call. Make the best of it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As this week unfolds you may realize that family connections make up the fabric of your life. Despite some irritations you may be made aware that loved ones help you weave all the little details of life into a viable whole.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Patience will prop you up. Take your time about starting something new. Put your powerful business ideas and financial plans on the back burner until mid-week. You are too focused on work to enjoy a social outing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hit refresh. The familiar way of doing things may need a revision so that you can continue to thrive and grow in the future. In the week to come your energy levels may ebb and flow, so you must not take on new duties.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you push too hard for too long something might break down.

There may be a tendency to put your own wants and needs ahead of those of others. Relax, be considerate and recharge your energies in the week ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remain attentive. Duck and get out of the way if a ladder is falling and threatens to hit you in the head. However, as the week unfolds, find ways to integrate your belief system into creative or financially stabilizing activities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When the outcome of a game is certain, everyone wants to call it quits. Dissatisfaction with your routines might disrupt the week ahead. You could be tempted to stir up excitement with someone who is true blue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fortify your boundaries but keep a door propped open. Family dinners and restful hours sure to be on your schedule in the week ahead but you may be restless unless you have something physical to do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dig in and do it right the first time. Small details that have previously escaped your notice can come to your attention as this week unfolds. Don’t make impulsive purchases but do focus on things of long term value.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Find opportunities for quiet introspection in the week ahead. Your nerves might be on edge and you may react badly if someone pushes your buttons. Some time on your own might help you retain your equilibrium.

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey 750mL

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP Makes about 3 quarts (3 l), 8 to 12 servings 2 large heads cauliflower, about 5 pounds (2.5 kg total weight, trimmed and rinsed 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 1 large yellow onion, peeled, trimmed, and sliced 3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped Kosher salt 1 medium tomato, briefly dipped in boiling water to loosen the peel, cooled in ice water, and then peeled, seeded, and diced 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin Pinch of sugar Freshly ground white pepper 1 bay leaf 2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme 2 quarts (2 L) good-quality canned chicken stock or vegetable stock 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream Chopped fresh chives, for garnish With a sharp knife, cut the heads of cauliflower

into thin slices. Set aside.

Put the butter and olive oil in a medium stockpot over low heat. When the butter has melted, add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Lightly season with salt, and cover the pot.

Continue cooking covered, stirring often, until the cauliflower is completely tender, almost mushy, about 1 hour. Stir in the tomato, cumin, sugar, white pepper to taste, bay leaf, thyme and stock. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir in the cream. When the soup returns to a boil, remove the pot from the heat. Remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.

Puree the soup directly in the pot using an immersion blender. Or, working in batches and carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions to guard against spattering the hot liquid, puree the soup by pulsing the machine on and off; transfer each batch to a large heatproof bowl. While the soup is still hot, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Before serving, reheat the soup over low heat.

Ladle it into warmed bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle some chives over each serving.

Serve immediately.
