–Photos by Jennifer Peacock (Above) Diana and Marty Van Boerum hold their wedding portrait in their Manchester home. (Right) The 50-year-old top tier piece of the original 1968 wedding cake, which has moved 13 times in 50 years. By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Their love story started at a north Jersey church youth group more than 50 years ago. They’ll celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary June 22, with a party with friends and family in their Manchester home the next day. Something they’ve kept from their wedding day will make one final appearance at their party, before getting tossed in the trash: The top tier of their wedding cake. Marty and Diana Von Boerum don’t remember the flavor. And no, no one will be trying a piece that predates the moon landing. “I don’t like cake so I didn’t really eat it, so I don’t know what was in it,” Diana said.

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Every minute some 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner in this country, and one in three women and one in four men have been victims of some form of physical violence in their lifetime, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV). Intimate partner violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and women between the ages (Abuse - See Page 11)

kind of like marriage, you have your bumps but you get over them,” Diana said. “God is the center of our marriage that holds us together.” “God has always been the center of our marriage, that’s where we are with that, that comes first,” Marty added. The Knot reports that back in the 19th century, couples would save the top tier of their wedding cakes to serve at the christening of their first child. With couples delaying having children (if they have them at all) by the mid-20th century, the tradition shifted to eating the cake on a couple’s first anniversary. That’s what Marty and Diana had originally planned, but they didn’t delay having children. “Our oldest boy was born six days before our first anniversary,” Marty said. “So, [Diana] was in the hospital.” “We didn’t have our cake. Our son stole the show, which he should,” Diana added. Their marriage almost didn’t happen. Although they had been attending the same church for years, First Reformed Church of Patterson, they only really noticed each other as older teens. It was Diana who took notice of Marty. They were supposed to go out on a date, but Diana had just moved and gave Marty the wrong number. “I couldn’t wait to go out with him, but he really didn’t want to go out with me. His friend wanted to go out with my friend, but she didn’t really want to go out with him. She did it for me, and Marty did it for his The General’s
point, Diana was dating other men. While on a date up in West Point, Diana learned that Marty did indeed call. In December 1967, they went out again. They were engaged by February, and Marty was out of the military May 22, 1968. They got married in Wayne, New Jersey, a month later. So they weren’t thinking about cake that first anniversary, with the arrival of their son Scott. (They have another son, Richard.) Marty’s job took across the country and down south. The cake went with them. They decided at their 25th anniversary they’d save the cake for their 50th. The couple saved part of their 25th anniversary cake too, which joined their original wedding cake in the freezer. The wedding cake stayed together, as long as it was frozen. Thawed, it fell apart. A friend from the Van Boerum’s church here, Whiting Bible Church, used her skill and a concoction of confectionary sugar and shortening, as well as some of the 25th anniversary cake, to resuscitate the wedding cake, a white-frosted, mystery-flavored cake that’s back in the freezer. They both emphatically said “no” when asked if they’d considered saving the cake for their 75th anniversary. “It’s over-lived its life in my freezer,” Diana said.

friend,” Diana explained. “So, our double date never happened because I gave him the wrong telephone number.” When Diana saw him in church the next time, she coolly walked by him. Marty grabbed her arm to explain that he did call, and showed her the phone number she gave him. But he didn’t ask her out again for six months. They started dating, going steady. But then he got drafted into the Army. And asked for his ring back. “I was devastated,” Diana said. “This is the guy I love, and he loves me, and he asks for the ring back.” “It was Vietnam and I got drafted and I didn’t know what was going on or where I was going to be. I just felt, maybe I should ask for it back and let it go and see what happens,” Marty said. “I had mixed feelings about [taking back the ring]. I wasn’t happy about it. I wasn’t happy about the whole thing! I got drafted out of college and going in the Army and wasn’t happy at all.” But Marty never stepped foot on enemy soil. He went to Fort Dix, then Fort Bragg for military police training, and stayed there for his two-year stint. While he didn’t encounter Viet Cong, he was on riot control, during a time of numerous anti-war demonstrations. Diana had written a letter to Marty the night he took his ring back, but never sent it. Instead, she penned him weekly letters, talking about the comings and goings of shared friends back in North Haledon. Marty did write to let her know he would be on furlough, but he never called her. He wrote again before his next furlough, but at that

Don’t Cut Toms River, Brick School Funding CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
TRENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Dave Wolfe, and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (all R-10th) blasted a school funding plan proposed by Democrats in Trenton that would cut a combined $42
million in school funding to Brick and Toms River students and drive property tax bills higher by nearly $1,000. “Trenton Democrats have proposed cutting state aid to the Brick and Toms River
school districts by $22.3 million and $19.8 million, respectively,” said Holzapfel. “The Democrats’ plan would decimate our local schools and cause property tax bills to skyrocket. It’s an absolute disaster for both students and taxpayers.” Wolfe highlighted the efficiency of the Brick and Toms River school districts, which spent $18,047 and $16,318 per pupil in 2016, respectively. He said that represents a significant savings for taxpayers over the
average statewide spending of $20,385 per student. “While Governor Murphy often talks about making New Jersey a good value for the money, Brick and Toms River have succeeded in offering our children a great education for thousands less per student than other school districts,” said Wolfe. “Rather than rewarding our achievement and holding us out as a model of efficiency for other districts to follow, Trenton Demo-
crats want to slash our state funding and drive up our local property tax bills. It’s reprehensible.” McGuckin slammed a claim made by Democrats that taxpayers in Brick and Toms River don’t pay enough in local property taxes to fund our schools. “Democrats in the State House think property taxpayers in Brick can afford to pay another $754 in school taxes,” said McGuckin. “They think Toms R iver homeow ners can
afford to pay an extra $918 in school taxes. It’s clear that Trenton Democrats are out of their minds. I urge every concerned taxpayer to call Governor Murphy and tell him to kill this ill-conceived plan.” Should the school districts attempt to raise taxes to the levels that Trenton Democrats say is appropriate, property tax bills in Brick could rise by 12 percent, while those in Toms River could go up a whopping 15 percent.
New Bills Tackle Opioid Crisis On Multiple Fronts From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) applauded House passage of multiple bills to boost the federal response to the opioid crisis, and called on the Senate to move swiftly to ensure that support reaches victims and service providers as soon as possible.
“As the opioid epidemic continues to proliferate, our effor ts to treat and prevent this disease at the federal level must be redoubled,” Smith said. “T his cr isis requires a more aggressive and comprehensive response to t he p roble m , wh ich is exactly what this package
of bills will accomplish. The Senate needs to pass this legislation as quickly as possible - the severity of the crisis demands it.” Earlier this year Smith s u p p o r t e d , t h e Ho u s e passed, and the President signed into law the FY 2018 om nibus bill that specified $3.3 billion in additional funds to address the opioid crisis and mental health. The bills that passed more recently target f unding specif ic needs and programs. Calling it a “comprehensive response to the e pide m ic,” Sm it h s a id

the legislation he voted for this week creates new grants to “improve and expand access to treatment and recover y ser vices, establish comprehensive opioid recovery centers, support law enforcement, and improve and enhance data collection and analysis.” Some of the key provisions advanced by the bills will: • Connect and compile various resources on the opioid crisis at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) • I ncrease g rants for medical providers treating opioid abuse • Educate professionals working with children on

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Be Wary Of North Korea While not a fan of President Trump I give him credit for opening the door to a more peaceful relationship with North Korea. Perhaps dictators respond best when confronted by strength. However, many in both political parties are concerned too much was given with little in return: the end of war games with ally South Korea, possible withdrawal of our troops (with the sudden excuse of being too costly), as well as immediately declaring North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat despite having not eliminated a single nuclear weapon. Of equal concern is how murderers such as Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin are treated so benignly while longtime allies are insulted and humiliated. We all hope this time North Korea will not repeat its history of broken pledges to denuclearize thus requiring we continue to maintain our security advantage. Past history with tyrants has not always resulted in peace but, if anything, greater danger and threats. Neville C h a mb e rl i n r e t u r ne d from talks with Hitler declaring “peace in our time.” While talking of
peace with imperial Japan, Pearl Harbor was bombed. The allies ceded East Germany to Stalin and for decades we experienced a cold war often dangerously close to a hot one. Nixon was cheered for opening the door to Communist China only to see that nation grow so powerful it has become an economic and diplomatic challenge to America. Clinton had Arafat and Rabin shake hands but the promise of Mideast peace was followed by the birth of terrorists such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Our joyful overthrow of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, replaced by a moderate but weak government, lead to the rise of Islamic Fundamentalists who attacked us on 9/11 and continue as a threat. The recent pact with Iran is denounced by President Trump as the worst ever as it secretly continues to develop its nuclear potential. Not only must we remember that if we fail to learn from history we are doomed to repeat it but President Kennedy warned that “Those who foolishly sought power, by riding the back of the tiger, ended up inside.” Seymour Brotman Manchester

Letters To The Editor TV News, Weather Skips Us I saw Comcast cable should replace “News 12 NJ” and “The Weather Channel.” We need news and weather channels covering midsouth Jersey, that being between Toms River and Atlantic City. “News 12 NJ” doesn’t know that towns, roads, and people exist here. We rarely get any coverage of anything in our area. “The Weather Channel” ignores the northeast and the “Local weather on the eights” is rarely seen on any time, especially on the weekends! Texas, California, Hawaii, southern states and those west of the Mississippi River is all they know, except of course, “Ice Road Truckers,” “Highway Through Hell,” “Think You Can Survive,” and the like. We only get coverage here when a hurricane or extremely bad storm is off our coast. I say we need previous channel 101 for local weather and a South Jersey, maybe Atlantic County, news channel!

Lacey Students Received Good Gun Training Eytan Weber wrote a letter to you which you published in the June 9 edition of the Souther n Ocean Times. The safety class that was described sounded pretty good to me, handing a pistol to a young student can take away the curiosity that often leads to a bad incident. The safety officer was obviously trying to overcome the fear that we all experience when we pick up a firearm for the first time. Teaching students how a firearm works is necessary if one wants to safely check that a gun is not loaded. The statistics on gunshot deaths are skewed. The idea that he can collect guns
Letters To The Editor from everyone he can talk expansion and exiting lanes. but a few said they wished to is a bad idea. We cannot get guns out of the hands of the bad guys by a voluntary collection. With due respect to the Rutgers School of Nursing, I am sure that the gun safety class covered proper gun storage; it is such an important subject. The fact that students may handle guns when no adults are present cries out for teaching everyone that guns are not toys and must be handled carefully and safely. Weber is uninfor med and misguided. He cannot eliminate all guns and his blindfolded approach to keeping kids safe from guns is dangerous, ignorant, wrong, and useless. A poor approach when “children’s lives are on the line.” Thank you for your attention on this controversial and important subject. Anthony Finn Lacey
Parkway Reconstruction Still Impacting Locals It has been over five and a half years since the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) began the destruction of the area of the Garden State Parkway between mile post 95 and 89. This negatively impacted the lives of thousands of Brick, Howell and Lakewood residents. With the destruction and creation of many of the exits they lined the pockets of lobbyists, power brokers and some politicos. The new exiting ramps and the roadway expansion of the Garden State Parkway is a financial windfall for the insiders and bureaucrats that run those Big Government Bureaucracies like the NJTA. The NJTA has said they did not expand the Parkway and move the roadway closer to the homes in Evergreen Woods but this is semantics used in a manner that distorts the true meaning of roadway
A lane that begins north of the southbound mile marker 103.0 ends in its last half mile as a lane that exits into the Exit 91 toll booths cannot truly be called an exiting ramp by any normal, honest definition. If they were being honest they would have done the “RIGHT” thing five years ago. What is needed on the Garden State Parkway adjacent to Evergreen Woods, Primrose Gardens, Greenbriar, Birchwood Park, Sutton Village and other places in Brick Township is increased forestation as well as a 14foot pollution, safety and noise wall to curtail some of the damage caused by the illegal actions of the commissioners of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. Over the past years, it has been brought to the attention of the NJTA, the statehouse, the county government and the Township Council here in Brick that the illegal actions of the NJTA on the Garden State Parkway have caused harm to the residents. Many studies brought before the council and the NJTA have shown how the toxins associated with the Garden State Parkway traffic have caused a variety of health ailments, but nothing moves the powerful greed-driven commissioners, directors and lobbyists of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. The one benefit I have received over the last 65 months, speaking before the council, is that I have met many people who I did not know before and people I have may not have spoken to in many years. These new and former associations have been created by the inaction of the NJTA because over that period hundreds of people have stopped to talk to me about the problems they have had since the NJTA committed to this project without concern for our citizens. Many have stated that they could never stand up before the council and speak up against the government inaction. All
me well and can’t believe I have the stamina to continually show the council the problems associated with the destruction. Even today, I again was stopped by two people and told they watch me on TV and said they are happy I go before the council because they would have given up a long time ago. I told them, that is what governments and bureaucracies do. They drag things out, they ignore problems and they hope you go away. It is a well-used technique that works more of ten than not and when it doesn’t completely work then the governments and bureaucracies appease in part. The NJTA tried that a few years ago with a small group of trees planted in Evergreen Woods but that hardly helped the residents of EverGreen Woods and did nothing for the thousands of other residents. Often people say that the people in government will never stand up and fight with you because they will say they are volunteers (despite having health benefits or other compensation). In reality, some of this is true. Remember the first council that existed during the initial destruction? They said if the NJTA didn’t do the “right thing” they would stand here with the people and once they were out of office, they disappeared. I always mention that our local government tries to help. I usually get the feedback that they would rather talk about getting a meal in some restaurant, or attend a play, or march in a parade than they would stand up and speak out, as well as take legal action against the Big Business - Big Government Cartel. A wall and increased forestation is the minimum that is needed but the thousands of impacted citizens can’t do it while the more influential just sit back and smile. John Sluka Brick

Abuse:
Continued From Page 1 of 18 and 24 are most at risk. Not all abusers are men, said Debbie Galletta, a licensed clinical social worker and program director at Dottie’s House, a transitional housing facility in Brick designed to aid women and children who have survived domestic violence. “It’s not always a partner - sometimes it could be a mother or a brother, but the majority are intimate partners,” she said. Abuse isn’t always physical, oftentimes it’s emotional or financial, and women don’t realize it’s abusive behavior, but coercive control is the underlying motive. Emotional abusers humiliate, insult, put down, threaten, rebuke and control the victim, and keeps them on a short leash, that affects the victim’s self-esteem, which the abuser hopes will make the victim more dependent on them. Over time, emotional abuse can erode the victim’s joy, sense of well-being and mental health. Financial abuse is not always obvious to an outsider, but there is shame attached for the woman who has to account for every penny she spends, or ask for money to purchase basic necessities, even if she is the breadwinner in the relationship. “Physical abuse is obvious, but if it’s emotional or financial abuse it might not feel like it’s abuse, especially if they grew up with it,” Galletta said. It’s only through education, such as marriage counseling, that a woman might realize that her partner’s controlling behavior is a form of abuse, she said. According to Karen Kirton, who is a case manager at Dottie’s House, many women say, “I know he was controlling with money, and he would put me down and call me names,” but they didn’t identify that behavior as abuse. While each case is unique and each victim has varying amounts of support, Kirton said, it’s important to reach out to any resources she has. If a woman is in an abusive relationship, she could first seek support from friends, family and professionals, Galletta said. When there’s no housing available with family or friends, an abuse victim could reach out to social services, who might put the victim up in a motel for a period of time until she can find an affordable

Victims could call a national hotline at 800-799-HELP (7233) where highly-trained advocates are available 24/7 and have information on available resources. “Oftentimes, a woman might return to her abuser because she has no means to take care of herself. She has no vehicle, no money, no job skills, and she might think, ‘Maybe he’ll change,’ ” Kirton said. “It’s better than living in the street.” If there are children involved, they have their own issues, Galletta said. Many have experienced some kind of trauma and children as young as two can mimic the abuser’s behavior. Children need counseling to break the cycle and educate them, and sometimes child protective services gets involved. If the abuser is the victim’s mother, the victim made need help in managing that relationship on her terms, and to step away when she needs to step away, Galletta said. Emotional, spirit ual, physical and financial recovery takes a long time. Women can live at Dottie’s House for two years. During the first year the women are getting over the crisis before working on themselves, she said. Even when they have been away from their abuser for years, there is a danger they could go back, Galletta said. “Abuse can be a form of addiction. In NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), you learn how to stay away from the bar or a needle, it’s challenging for us,” she said. “A woman could go back and forth [into the abusive relationship] because she misses the companionship, especially if they have children together. Sometimes she’ll go into the dating world and she’ll get drawn back in to the same type of relationship.” It’s difficult for loved ones to see a woman go back and forth to the same abuser, especially from someone who has offered the victim emotional and financial support. Oftentimes those people shut the door for helping the victim in the future. “It doesn’t matter to us, as professionals, but [family and friends] should try to listen and not judge because you don’t understand why she’s making the choices she’s making. They may not understand. This is her life. Always listen and be supportive, no matter what,” Galletta said.

“Fear Of The Other” Book Study & Video
WHITING – The Whiting United Methodist Church located at 55 Lacey Road will have an evening book study beginning each Wednesday starting on July 11 through Wednesday, August 8, 2018 from 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Books are available in the church office for $10 and can be purchased at the first meeting or by calling the office at 732-350-6878 Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. All are welcome to attend. In this no non-sense book, a reliable spiritual guide, Will Willimon, the author, invites readers to consider the gospel command to love (and not merely tolerate) those considered to be “Other” or outside mainstream Christian culture. Rooted in the faith of Israel
and the Christian story and vision, Willimon brings a Wesleyan perspective to bear on what may be the hardest thing for people of faith to do: keeping and loving the “Other” as they are - without any need for them to become like us. This is a very timely read considering our current social culture. Rev. Clarissa South Holland and Elaine Schmit Jongbloed will facilitate this class. This book explores scriptures that refer to Christian love. Class Schedule: July 11- Saved by the Other; July 18 – The Other, My Enemy; July 25 – Learning to Fear Like Christians; August 1 – Loving the Other in Church; and August 8 – Jesus, the Other.

Parade of Wreaths Commemorates Fallen Heroes
LAKEHURST – NJ State Troops lined up to shake hands with World War II Veteran and retired U.S. Army Sgt. Arthur Goldschmidt, a Moorestown native and thank him for his service after the annual Parade of Wreaths ceremony on May 24, 2018 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Goldschmidt is Battle of the Bulge veteran who was awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his heroism. New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick Callahan spoke to gathered guests at the annual Parade of Wreaths Ceremony. The event honored service members and police officers who have given their lives in the line of duty. Members of the Joint Base MDL community and the Maj. Thomas B. McGuire Foundation hosted the ceremony. More than 300 service members, civic leaders and New Jersey State Troopers gathered at the base of the Maj. Thomas B. McGuire Memorial Circle to honor the men and women of law enforcement and the armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice “A loss for one of us is a loss for all of us,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Charles Henderson, 621st Contingency Response Wing commander. “It’s only right that we come together and celebrate their lives as a family.” Traditionally, the ceremony is held after National Police Week and just before Memo-
rial Day and includes a wreath laying, where representatives from each branch of service and local law enforcement and community groups present a wreath in memory of lives lost in the name of justice, freedom and peace. “It’s no secret that a lot of our troopers have or are currently serving [in the armed forces],” said New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick Callahan, guest speaker for the event. “They’re on our roads, they’re in our towns, but these men and women serve beyond state lines.” Amongst the crowd was former U.S. Army Sgt. Arthur Goldschmidt, who was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his heroic actions during World War II. Following the guest speaker’s remarks, approximately 50 uniformed Troopers lined up to individually meet Goldschmidt and thank him for his service. North Hanover Upper Elementary School fifth and sixth grade students Ryan Hutchinson and Madison Wick respectively, concluded the ceremony with their winning essays on what Memorial Day means to them, emphasizing the importance of using the time to remember fallen service members. “For some, it’s just a day off, but those that have had to put a loved one in the ground, it’s a very different story,” said Wick. “However, death does not kill memories, and those memories are the building blocks of Memorial Day.”

5 Signs It’s Time To Upgrade Your Technology
Often it’s obvious when it’s time to replace something — your smartphone’s screen is cracked, your vacuum smells weird. But how do you know when to upgrade your hearing devices? Here are five surefire signs you’re due for some fresh tech. Not Working Right: You do all the recommended maintenance, but things just don’t seem right. You replace the batteries, they drain quickly; you change the wax guards, it still sounds weak and muffled. The occasional repair is one thing, but regular malfunction or repair means it might be time to replace the devices. Costly Repairs: If your devices are older, getting them repaired could be costly because the parts are scarce or your model is discontinued. Sometimes fixing your devices costs so much that it makes more sense to replace them. Change in Hearing: Despite helping your hearing loss with technology, your hearing might continue to change over time — due to age, loud sounds, or other health issues. Often we can adjust the settings on your devices to accommodate those hearing
changes, but sometimes the changes are enough that a different level of technology is required. Change in Lifestyle: We decide with you which technology is best for you based on your hearing lifestyle, but when your lifestyle changes, your technology should as well. Did you take up a sport? You’ll probably be sweating, so you’ll need something moisture resistant, plus an accessory to dehumidify your devices. Did you switch from an office job to something outdoors? You’re likely exposed to a different level of noise now. Change in Technology: New models with new features are introduced into the market all the time. You might not even realize just how far tech has advanced — better filtering of background noise, more pinpoint fine-tuning capabilities, even streaming sound from your smartphone to your hearing aids. High-tech hearing is an upgrade away. Think it might be time for an upgrade? Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation and tech demo!

6 Quick Ways To Relieve Itchy Red Eyes By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
My eyes are driving me crazy and I thought I’d share what I know with you in case you are feeling the same way right about now. For me, it’s a triple hit from the smoke generated by fi res nearby in Colorado, the ragweed pollen and some drywall dust kicked up when I demo’d a fi replace in my new home. Here’s a sample of what I’ve been doing to tame the red so that people stop asking if I was up all night drinking, lol, which I was not I assure you! I can’t list everything here due to space considerations, so if you’d like the complete list of my home remedies, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you on Tuesday. 1. Dry up. Take an oral antihistamine such as Loratadine (Claritin). I am taking about a half tablet daily with a natural supplement which I’ll tell you about in my longer article at my website. Now that you’ve got your antihistamine on board, proceed to step 2. 2. Wash your eyes. Irrigate your eye with saline and a sterile eye cup. Your local pharmacy, department store or online e-tailer has Bausch & Lomb’s brand of “eye wash” or “irrigating eye wash” or a similar brand of saline that comes with an eye cup. You do not want contact lens cleaner, you want to basically rinse your eye out. It’s similar to opening your eye underwater in a pool, you just have to do it.
3. Apply a cold compress. Take a clean washcloth, dip it in ice water and wring out, then apply. I like to take them and fold the washcloth in half, then roll it up tightly. The ends of the washcloth will now ‘fit’ into your eye socket, and it is such sweet relief! Be intelligent and apply sparingly, you just want to cool your eye for a few seconds, don’t hurt yourself. 4. Get the red out. You can choose what you like, or can afford. I use various ones including Zaditor because this lasts 12 hours, and contains a histamine blocker only (Ketotifen), whereas most eye drops contain an antihistamine as well as a vasoconstrictor. If you’re looking for that type of combination, try Opcon or Visine, or their store-brand generic equivalents which will save you money. 5. Lie down and breathe. Buy an eye pillow, preferably unscented and put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. You can always store yours in there, that’s what I do. Put it on your eyes and just breathe. Mmm. 6. Look like a diva. Cucumber slices on the eyelids… you see this all the time in spa pictures and the reason is that cucumbers reduce eye inf lammation and they’ll temporarily hide the fact that you pulled an all-nighter last night, played with your neighbor’s cat or went horseback riding through ragweed. You can apply them topically, or better yet, juice cucumbers along with some carrots and celery and drink it.

Film Fest Success: LBI Celebrates End Of 10th Annual Festival
By Kimberly Bosco SHIP BOTTOM – The Lighthouse International Film Festival (LIFF) brought its 10th annual season to a close with an after party and awards ceremony on June 10, the final day of the four-day festival. This year’s festival was a great success, according to LIFF Executive Director Eric Johnson. Johnson will be stepping down as
executive director, a position to be taken over by the current deputy executive director, Amir Bogen, for next year’s event. “I think the festival went great this year, there was a fantastic turnout,” said Johnson. “Up and down the island, we saw turnouts for not just the crowd-pleasing films, but the avant-garde films, the challenging documentaries, and the shorts program as well
as our new storytellers’ episodic category.” Even for the new genres, such as the episodic features, there was a positive audience response, according to Johnson. “It’s just another great way of storytelling, and other great content,” he added regarding the episodic category. Johnson noted that it is always a good idea to expand the content in the festival, which
this year included a new virtual reality section as well as the storytellers genre. A favorite of LIFF volunteer Rafael was the closing night film, one of the four headliners, “Anote’s Ark.” This documentary showcased Kiribati, a low-lying pacific island that faces destruction from sea-level rise and climate change. The films covered a host of topics, from challenging issues such as climate change, to behind the scenes stories of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, to a daughter’s quest to find her father on our very own Long Beach Island. The festival also gives students a chance to showcase their work, and an opportunity to join the film world at an early age. The winning student film was, ironically, centered on a group of boys trying to make a film for a film festival that can’t find the right topic. One LIFF volunteer noted that the filmmakers or directors from Manhattan, New York are considered local because the festival attracts those from foreign countries as well. There was a full house at the restaurant for the ceremony, held at Joe Pop’s Shore Bar & Restaurant in Ship Bottom, where film buffs and producers rubbed elbows and LIFF members and volunteers mingled with locals. Outside of its members, the LIFF has a whole host of volunteers who tackle various tasks to make the event possible. It is a collective effort on behalf of the members, volunteers, and caring community that bring the festival to life each year. “They [LIFF volunteers] have given their time and dedication…we could not do it without our community who have donated everything from paper goods to fliers, to the food we’re eating tonight,” said Christine Rooney, Managing Director of the LIFF. Food was donated from local business such as Incredibowls and the Philly Pretzel Factory while the space was donated by Joe Pop’s for the private event. The first two awards given were the nonfilm awards. “These are a couple awards that the festival holds dear because they are supporters of the festival…that are integral to making the festival happen,” said Johnson. These include the Community Service Award which was given to the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. The LBI Foundation partners with LIFF to host events. The other award was the Pat Dengler Volunteer of the Year Award, awarded to Kelly Travis, one of the special events coordinators of the festival. The awards for each category in the festival follow: • Best HS Student Film: “Pick Again,” by Kieran Sherry and Will Vinsko • Storytellers Audience Award: a tie between “Unspeakable,” director Milena Govich and “Adventure Capital,” co-directors Everett Glovier and Zach Myers • Grand Award Storytellers: “Lost Kings,” Director Terrance Smalls • Special Jury Award Screenwriting Narrative Short: “Still Water Runs Deep,” (Festival - See Page 23)

Bathroom Manners Down The Drain
Dear Joel, Why are men so irritating in the bathroom! My husband always leaves his whiskers in the sink, never puts the seat down, and throws wet towels on the floor. It drives me mad! He also swears he doesn’t drink out of cartons in the refrigerator, but I catch him all the time. And he puts empty bottles back, like I’m supposed to consider them a prize when I fi nd them. These little things get me upset all day. Can you ask the men to stop doing things like that. Answer I think you did a pretty good job yourself. I don’t know why some men behave that way, but I learned a long time ago that there is truth in the phrase ‘Happy Wife, Happy Life’. To the fellow

Special Announcements
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Men eschew annual checkups and preventative services, making them more likely to die from nine of the 10 top causes of death than women. Men need to take care of their health, for their families and for themselves. That’s the message the county is touting in June for Men’s Health Month. “Men must focus on preventative measures such as regular doctor checkups and screenings to avoid adding to the grim statistics concerning mortality,” Freeholder Director Gerry Little said. He’s the board of health liaison. “We must also bring awareness to potential mental health issues, such as depression, to reduce another alarming statistic which suggests men are four times more likely than women to commit suicide. We have a responsibility to bring awareness to men’s health and, as we celebrate Father’s Day in the second week of June, we should be mindful of the tremendous benefits of prevention. Men have higher mortality rates for diseases such

as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Also of significance is the statistic showing that almost four times as many men than women are suicide casualties,” Ocean County Health Department public health coordinator Daniel E. Regenye said. “Clearly there is more to be done with prevention efforts and recognition of Men’s Health Month is appropriate and necessary as the public health community seeks to address the disparate levels of disease and mortality among our population.” The Ocean County Health Department’s new web page has information to assist residents, Brian E. Rumpf, director of administration and program development for the Ocean County Health Department, said. The website lists screenings for blood pressure, stroke risk and osteoporosis, as well as diabetes education, hepatitis C for baby boomers, medication management and other health education such as tobacco cessation, sun safety and education on testicular and breast cancer prevention.

do this you must divide the assessment by the equalization ratio. Marc S. Galella Esq. For example, a property that is assessed at $200,000.00 in a town where the equalization ratio is 96% would have a market value of $298,333.00. In another town where the equalization ratio is 86%, the town is showing that the market value is $232,558.00. In other words, to determine what the town is claiming as the property value you need to look at both the assessment and the equalization ratio. This number would then be the value to use in determining whether you should consider filing a tax appeal. For example, if your property is assessed by the town at $350,000 and your property has a market value of $360,000, you may think that you are being under-assessed and thus think it is not worthwhile to file a tax appeal. However, if the equalization ratio for your town is 84%, then your property value, as determined by the town, would be approximately $407,000. This means that the town is assessing your property for $47,000 more than its market value and a tax appeal may be an option. Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

The Expressive “U” Style for Less
Colby Commons Shopping Center
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In a prior article, we talked about how the basis of a residential real estate tax appeal is whether the property is being assessed by the municipal tax assessor greater than the property’s true market value. One of the issues in making this determination is how the tax assessment established by tax assessor equates to the true value of the property. In all municipalities in New Jersey, there is what is called the “equalization ratio”. This is the number, expressed as a percentage, developed by the local County Tax Board to equalize the difference in tax assessments between the various towns in the county. The purpose of the equalization ratio is to ensure that each town pays it fair share of the county taxes. This imbalance occurs because towns reassess or revaluate their tax assessments at different times. Thus, a town that reassesses its real property assessments in the current year will have different real estate values than a town that reassessed four years ago. In a rising market, properties in the town that just reassessed would have higher values than those in a town that had not re-assessed. The equalization ratio for each town can be obtained from the Tax Board in each county or the municipal tax assessor. In Ocean County it is available on the website for the Ocean County Board of Taxation. Accordingly, you must look at the equalization ratio for your town and use that with the tax assessment to determine what the town is showing as the market value for the property. To

Berkeley Island County Park Re-Opens
By Jennifer Peacock BERKELEY – May 23 was Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato’s 50th birthday. The Ocean County Freeholders gifted him with a park re-opening. “Carmen has been no slouch in pestering us either about (completing the park),” Freeholder director Gerry Little jested. “(Councilman) Jimmy Byrnes was number one but Carmen has been right behind him the whole time, pestering about this park, this wonderful park,” With a literal lock and symbolic wooden key, Freeholder John Bartlett re-opened Berkeley Island County Park, which suffered catastrophic damage from Superstorm Sandy back in 2012. The aging park was the first one Bartlett oversaw building as a new freeholder in 1982. “It’s amazing how many different things went into building this park,” County Parks and Recreation Director Michael Mangum said. “There’s a lot of things you don’t see here today when you walk in that went into building this park. But we got here today. I know there’s no person happier to see this than Freeholder John Bartlett.” “In many ways, it’s been my baby. There’s no question that when Hurricane Sandy hit, this park was starting to feel its age. It was in need of some renovation, more than some,” Bartlett told the audience, filled with
members of the public, as well as county employees and county and local officials. “So quite frankly, when the storm did major damage to it, I wasn’t terribly unhappy, because it needed major renovations anyway.” The project cost $8 million and although now open to the public, still has cosmetic work being done. The project took 5-plus years to complete, because as Bartlett said, the county couldn’t come in with their own equipment and get to work immediately. “We needed permits,” Bartlett said. The bureaucratic red tape included confirming how much the Federal Emergency Management Agency would reimburse the county for the damage and rebuilding a living shoreline (“when you lose land into the state’s water, it’s not your land anymore, it’s theirs”) so the park could have parking for guests. Ultimately, the state was good to work with, the freeholder added. The park retained much of its original character with some upgrades. It has a fishing pier picnic area with pavilion. The new feature is the county’s first splash park, inspired by a splash park Bartlett visited in Philadelphia. “One of the things that was always done in Berkeley Township that is very, very important: we always worry about our families and our children,” said Freeholder Joseph Vicari, who also used to be superintendent of Berkeley’s elementary school district. “And that’s
what it’s all about with our parks system, of all 27 parks we have in Ocean County. It’s affordable because, it’s free!” The living shoreline was constructed on the park’s south side. Shoreline protection lines the north side. The park’s infrastructures are all new: a parking lot with improved lighting that is compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The landscaping includes all native seaside plants. A “living shoreline” is man-made to mimic a naturally occurring conditions that attracts native fauna and flora. Eagle Construction, Burlington, was awarded the redevelopment contract. The park and building were designed by both T& Associates and Barlo & Associates. The county worked with the State Department of Environmental Protection, Barnegat Bay Partnership and Stevens Institute of Technology to design and implement a sustainable and environmentally friendly project. “All of this has been under the inspiration of Freeholder John Bartlett and this will be a legacy that John leaves for generations to come,” Little said. Freeholder Virginia Haines worked for Bartlett back in 1982 and remembers the construction of Berkeley Island County Park well. “I’m just so glad they were able to make it even better, and I’m sure that the people of
especially Berkeley but Ocean County will enjoy the park for many years to come,” Haines said. “And I hope we will never have another Hurricane Sandy.” Amato asked for a more passionate audience response to his greeting, saying the township waited 5 years for this day. Oct. 29, 2012 is a day that will live in infamy for the mayor, he said. “I want to thank the Board of Chosen Freeholders for their commitment to not only fix and repair this park, but to rebuild it,” Amato said. He walked the devastated park with Bartlett after the hurricane. At that time, Bartlett promised to not just repair, but to rebuild the park. “To make an $8 million commitment to rebuild Berkeley Island Park, it’s something that should never go unnoticed. On behalf of the township, we appreciate the freeholders,” Amato said. Alexa Palmieri, on behalf of Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd), presented the freeholders a certificate to commemorate the reopening of the park. “It’s quite an honor for me because I grew up in this town, so it’s great to see the park finally finished,” Palmieri said. Berkeley Island County Park sits on a 25acre peninsula that juts into Barnegat Bay and Cedar Creek. It’s located at 399 Brennan Concourse in Berkeley.

County Adds Four More Dates For Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection program has been extended with four new dates, according to Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. The summer collection dates are:
9 a.m. to 3 p.m., July 14, Lacey Township Recycling Center, 820 Municipal Lane 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Aug. 11, Brick Township Public Works Yard, 836 Ridge Road 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sept. 8, Ship Bottom Municipal Boat Ramp, West 10th Street and Shore Avenue
9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sept. 29, Point Pleasant Municipal Building, 2233 Bridge Avenue. These four dates will be serviced by Radiac Environmental Services at a cost of 49 cents a pound. Little, who also serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste
Management, said that the fi rst three collection dates this year collected 133,881 pounds of household hazardous waste. “This free program, which got started in 1989, provides an avenue to get rid of items like paints, paint thinner, and cleaners, properly and safely, keeping the material from entering our waterways and our preserved lands,” Little said. “The Department of Solid Waste Management has done a great job in implementing this program for almost three decades.” Materials accepted at program sites include: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. You can also drop off certain hazardous waste materials at municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers year-round. “Our residents should check with the County or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Little said. Residents can attend any waste collection site at any location. The max is 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. To register: Lacey Township, call 732-506-5047 Brick Township and Point Pleasant sites, call 732-367-0802 Ship Bottom, call 609-978-0913. Registration is required and is done on a fi rst come fi rst served basis. For more information on the program, visit co.ocean. nj.us/recycle. “We encourage our residents to use this free program to make certain chemicals, cleaners, solvents and other items we use around the house are disposed of properly,” Little said. “We take great pride in our environment in Ocean County. This program helps reduce the potential for environmental damage.”

Victoria Plaza Unit #7, 1594 Route 9, Toms River
By Kimberly Bosco OCEANPORT – Governor Murphy made history on the morning of June 14 as he placed the fi rst two legal sports bets in the history of the state of New Jersey at Monmouth Park Racetrack. Murphy’s bets solidified a recent assembly bill that will now allow for legalized sports betting in New Jersey. The legislation, Assembly Bill 4111, “allows wagering at New Jersey casinos and racetracks for certain professional and collegiate sports or athletic events.” This means that casinos or racetracks, with a sports wagering license, are now allowed to accept wagers on the premises or even operate an online sports pool. Behind Delaware, New Jersey is now the second state in the US to allow wagers on sporting events. “For the past seven years our heads and hearts were in alignment as we fought to overturn an unlawful and unfair federal law,” stated Gov. Murphy at Monmouth Park. “We knew in our heads that we were right, and we knew in our hearts that we’d win, and we have.” Murphy remarked that his two bets would be $20 on Germany to win the World Cup and $20 on the New Jersey Devils to win Lord Stanley’s Cup.
“It’s a historic day for Monmouth Park and for the state of New Jersey,” said Dennis Drazin, chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, operators of Monmouth Park. “We’ve been fighting this fight for more than six years in the courts and now that this day has arrived, and judging by the response from the fans who turned out for this, it’s exciting. Clearly, it’s something the people of New Jersey have been waiting for.” Murphy signed the bill into law on June 11. In a press release, he stated: “I’m thrilled to sign Assembly Bill 4111 because it means that our casinos in Atlantic City and our racetracks throughout our state can attract new business and new fans, boosting their own long-term fi nancial prospects. This is the right move for New Jersey and it will strengthen our economy.” The legislation stipulates that those placing wagers must be at least 21 years of age and wagers cannot be placed on high school or collegiate sporting events. Also, athletes, coaches, referees, and other persons with potential influence or access to non-public information regarding sporting events, are prohibited from placing bets on sporting events overseen by the league in which they participate.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ticks do not jump or fly. They tend to lie-in-waiting on a blade of grass or leaf for a host to walk past. Ticks have sensor organs on their forelegs to sense vibration and carbon dioxide from a host. Once on you, they crawl quickly to fi nd the prime spot to feed. Many people fi nd them attached behind their knees, belt or groin area, under arms, and hairline. It is important to take extra precautions in the summer when ticks that transmit diseases are most active. When working or playing outdoors, be sure to cover up; wear long, solid and light colored clothes with pants tucked into socks. This makes ticks easier to spot before they attach. While the pants tucked into socks may not be a fashion statement, the ticks won’t have easy access to your legs. Apply an EPA registered tick repellant containing DEET, picardin or oil of lemon eucalyptus on exposed skin according to the instructions on the product label. Products containing permethrin should only be used on clothing and outdoor gear. Outdoor/sporting goods stores sell permethrin treated clothing. Perform tick checks on yourself and children after outdoor activities. Many residents call or come in to Rutgers Cooperative Extension asking for information on products with which to spray their yards. Since pesticides don’t just target ticks, addressing tick habitats needs to be considered. Ticks love moist, humid areas with low shrubs and tall grass or weeds. They lay their eggs in accumulated leaf litter. Leaf litter is also great nesting areas for the small mammals on which ticks feed and travel. Keeping yards maintained and leaf-litter free, keeping to the center of walking trails and playing fields will help keep ticks from finding you and climbing aboard.

ty will also help reduce tick populations. Where properties border woods, a threefoot or larger border or buffer zone of mulch, gravel or no vegetation will help keep ticks out of your yard. Should you still feel the need to spray, use products containing active ingredients like permethrin, carybaryl, bifenthrin, or cyfluthrin to treat the perimeter of your yard. Please read and follow all label instructions and safety precautions. If you fi nd a tick, do not panic. Remove the tick. Use a tick removal key or a fi ne-tipped tweezer to grasp tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Apply steady backward/ upward force until the tick is dislodged. DO NOT USE alcohol, nail polish, burning matches, petroleum jelly or any other methods to remove ticks, as this may cause tick to regulate. Place the tick in a sealed bag/container with a small piece of damp paper towel and refrigerate it. Free tick identification is available at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County, 1623 Whitesville Road, Toms River. Staff and Rutgers Master Gardeners are here Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. to identify ticks and answer other horticultural issues. Once we identify the tick, we will discuss with you information about that tick species, potential diseases it can carry, and symptoms for which to watch. As we are not medical personnel, you should seek medical advice on a course of action. Neither the RCE nor the Ocean County Health Department test ticks for disease. We have a list of labs you can send the tick to be tested. However, testing will only show if that tick was carrying disease, not that transmission occurred.

BUSINESS PROFILE The Goddard School On Route 70 Will Have You Saying “Wow”
By Michael Vandenberg One of the first big decisions parents have to make for their children is what to do about their education and daily well-being. Sure, there are a lot of places and babysitters that will simply watch your child while you’re at work, but doesn’t your son or daughter deserve to be in a place that actually fosters a child’s sense of wonder about the world. All while giving them an expansive education from their youngest days through their preteen years? At the Goddard School on Route 70 in Toms River, your child will get an outstanding preschool education, as well as before- and after-care, that promote their development without you ever missing a moment. The Goddard School on Route 70 also offers private Kindergarten classes for children who may miss the “cut off” age for public schools. For over 12 years, they’ve been serving the families around the Toms River area with the utmost care. Current onsite owner Alisa Khaitan holds an MBA and has used her expertise to run a top notch facility that puts you and your children first. As the Educational
Director, Mary Favocci makes sure the students are getting the type of topnotch education only this school can provide. With a staff totaling over 30 teachers and assistants, they are highly focused on your child’s learning, safety, and growth. To accomplish that, they rely on a combination of standards to teach students from as young as 6 weeks to 12 years. There is Creative Curriculum, which they have merged with Goddard’s own curriculum, both of which are correlated with Common Core for a smooth transition into the public school setting. By following the state’s and Goddard’s requirements, as well as their own, no stone is left unturned in the students’ development. “Even if they come as an infant, they follow curriculum,” said Mary. Levels are based on chronological age, each of which comes with its own goals and objectives. It’s similar to the grade school structure, but age is more emphasized over year. Even a six-week-old infant has certain goals. Every day their teacher is, “telling them what things are, describing textures and feelings”. They’re taught
The Goddard School located at 255 Route 70 in Toms River. how to use their motor skills so they can point for things and even use some basic sign language. “So once they leave us in the preschool area they’re going to go off into the school systems above and beyond where they need to be.” When the child starts going to public school fulltime, the Goddard School on Route 70 stays with them, without losing the emphasis on educational advancement, as a before-care and after-care service. Here they can work on their homework and participate in more Creative Curriculum lessons. Kids can also come back for summer: Goddard Route 70 provides a bus from the elementary schools. And why not? At Alisa’s Goddard School, kids are often having so much fun they don’t even realize that they’re learning. Lessons are often framed as fun projects where the child has a chance to stumble into knowledge independently, rather than being lectured to. Creativity is encouraged because it increases critical thinking skills. The school will rotate through themes throughout the year, like trees and then recycling, and also have special events planned
for holidays. When I was there, they had chips and salsa for Cinco de Mayo. When kids are given the chance to have fun and be creative, that’s when the extra special moments can happen. Here they’re called “Wow Moments”. Using the PreSchool2Me App on the iPads provided to every classroom, teachers take pictures of the students learning something new or different and send them to their parents. That way you’ll never miss out on your child’s discoveries. In addition, the iPads are used to send parents daily reports about what they had to eat, nap time, if they made a new friend, and any other possible news to make sure you never miss a moment in your child’s life. Alisa and Mary wouldn’t have it any other way: they have an open-door policy for the parents of The Goddard School on Route 70. Unlike other preschools that usually have a rigid process for scheduling a meeting with staff, “the parents don’t have to schedule time to come in; they can come in any time they want,” said Mary. She and Alisa believe that raising a child should be done as a partnership between their
Pictured are owner Alisa Khaitan (right) and Educational Director, Mary Favocci. incredible staff and the parents. “We’re all in this together like a village.” There are even windows looking into all the classrooms so you can check up on your child while they’re learning. Of course, this policy is in place while enforcing stringent security procedures for your child’s safety: an alarm system monitors the hallways and outside at all times, and there are two offices with staff upfront to meet guests and have them sign in before getting buzzed in. Though whenever you walk in to see your child, you’ll always be welcomed by a smiling face and a listening ear. The warm family environment created at the Goddard School on Route 70 proves how the staff love what they do and the fact that this location has recently begun to see kids
graduate that have gone through their 6-week-old to 12-year-old program entirely at this location. Seeing that was a bittersweet moment for Alisa: They grew up fast, but she’s satisfied knowing that, “We did our job.” Alisa remembers one girl specifically who actually graduated from here and came back for a visit. “She went on to get scholarships and just got into a good college. She came back to tell us that it was her foundation here that led to her success.” If you’d like to sign up your child or get more information, give them a call at 732-363-5530, email TomsRiver2NJ@ GoddardSchools.com, check out their website at goddardschool.com/toms -river-IInj, or stop by at 255 Route 70 in Toms River.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 23 - JUne 29 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the fast track to success. Emulate someone with better connections or greater experience who is also a mover or a shaker. Use all the tricks of the trade to shave a few pennies off your bills in the upcoming week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Remain down to earth. As much as you would like to follow the tugs on your heart strings, your talents are better suited to practical matters. Learning something new may be difficult but not impossible this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may realize that someone’s friendly overtures don’t contain any flirtatious intentions as this week unfolds. That will be a good thing because it leaves you free to make new discoveries and develop ingenious ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Duty might weigh you down like a ball and chain. You may question whether a partner or key connection is someone you are willing to drag around. Focus on people’s abilities rather than their shortcomings this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your friendly overtures will not be ignored. What starts out as a business relationship could end up as a great and lasting friendship. This might be a good week to join an organization or club that stimulates your imagination. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Lighten your load by embracing enlightenment. Your daily routines may be upset by unpredictable twists and turns in the week to come. At the same time, you may be enthused by useful new ideas and the latest gadgets.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Add some steel to your repertoire. Put your fun-loving, people pleasing ways to one side and focus on achieving your ambitions in the week ahead. Hold off on shopping trips for new wardrobe items and home decor. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make a conscious effort to err on the side of generosity. Loved ones may not be as warm and loving as usual. This is a good week to focus on being an active member of a group where work, job, or career is concerned. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Others may be drawn to your physical magnetism or dazzled by your appearance of popularity. In the week ahead, you could excel at social networking and shine brightest in group settings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The traditional approach is likely to meet with success during the upcoming week. You will find that being tactful will pay dividends. Make key decisions and needed changes as early in the week as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will be forced to realize that to achieve your ambitions you may need to be quite patient. If you work very hard in the week to come you will avoid some of the more obvious potential pitfalls that appear later. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be more sensible. Your past personal indulgences and passing whims may force you to sacrifice some of this week’s pleasures. Concentrate on what matters most to you and the minor inconveniences will fade away.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Bake A Batch Of Cookies That The Whole Family Will Enjoy By Wolfgang Puck CHOCOLAT E PEA N U T BU TT ER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES Makes about 3 1/2 dozen 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose unbleached flour 1/3 cup (85 mL) plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 8 ou nces (250 g) u nsalted but ter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) creamy or chunky peanut butter 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 ounces (60 g) bittersweet chocolate, fi nely chopped and melted in a bowl over but not touching hot water 1 cup (250 mL) toasted peanuts, walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped 1 cup (250 mL) semisweet chocolate chips In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle or beaters, beat the butter at medium speed. Add the granulated and brown sugars, and continue beating until incorporated; then, increase the
speed to high and continue beating until fluffy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl and under the beaters as necessary with a rubber spatula. Add the peanut butter, and beat well. Reduce the speed to medium again and, one at a time, beat in the eggs, then the vanilla, and fi nally the melted chocolate, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until well mixed. Reduce the speed to low, and gradually pour in the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Add the nuts and chocolate chips, and beat again just until combined. Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a sheet of plastic wrap, folding the wrap around the dough to enclose it completely. Refrigerate until fi rm, at least 2 to 3 hours or, even better, overnight. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line one or two baking trays with parchment paper. With clean hands, pinch off individual balls of dough measuring about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, placing them on the parchment-lined baking trays about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake on the center rack until the cookies feel almost but not quite fi rm to a quick touch, 14 to 15 minutes total baking time, rotating the trays back to front about halfway through. Carefully remove the tray from the oven and, with a wide metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight containers at a cool room temperature.
