By Bob Vosseller POINT PLEASANT BEACH – A partnership to feed fish to the hungry and reduce the waste of fresh fish that
cannot be sold, has been formed between a leading food bank organization and two seafood companies. Fulfill, formerly the
Food Ban k of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, joined forces with America’s Gleaned Seafood of Lavallette and Trinity Seafood of
Lakewood to launch the nation’s first volunteer pilot program. The conference, held at t he Fishe r me n’s (Fish - See Page 5)
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Professionals paid by the township were accused of being biased, and giving testimony against South Seaside Park residents in their bid for leaving. The professionals have maintained that they are impartial. South Seaside Park residents have often argued that they are paying an inordinate amount of taxes and said that they don’t receive as many services as people on the mainland. Located next to Island Beach State Park, some residents there have said that they share more in common with Seaside Park than with mainland Berkeley. For about five years now, the Planning Board has hosted a hearing over whether the section of the township should be allowed to de-annex, or secede, from Berkeley Township. The issue had been headed up by the South Seaside Park Homeowners and Voters Association. Some people on the mainland have worried that without the taxes from SSP, their own taxes would go up. The latest session of the hearing focused on the testimony of Stuart Wiser, vice president of planning and environmental services for ARH Associates. The attorney for South Seaside (Bid - See Page 4)
Man Saved After Golf Cart Flips Into Water

was able to swim in and pull him to safety. First aiders and the township police were also called. Both men were on hand at a recent Township Cou ncil meeting where Scott was com mended for his

Continued From Page 1 Park (SSP), Joseph Michelini, spent the twohour session interviewing him, questioning his reliability as a witness. A future session would likely have the Planning Board attorney rehabilitating his credibility. Part of Michelini’s line of questioning has been who does a contractor like Wiser work for? The Planning Board is supposed to be an independent entity, but Michelini implied that town officials are biased in keeping SSP. He presented an email sent in April of 2015 from then-Business Administrator Christopher Reid to Wiser, planning board attorney Gregory McGuckin, an employee at Holman Frenia Allison Certified Public Accountants, township planner James Oris, and Stan Slachetka, a planner with T&M Associates. The mayor and council and then-Planning Board Chairman Tony DePaola were copied on it. The first hearing for de-annexation was in January of 2015. The email asked professionals to meet and come up with a strategy to “refute” the South Seaside Park residents’ attempt at leaving. Wiser said there were two project coordination meetings, and they were not necessarily to refute them, but to address the issues. At one meeting, he said he met with Reid, McGuckin, Township Attorney George Gilmore and one of Gilmore’s employees, who he said represents the township on a more regular basis (which was likely Lauren Staiger). Michelini tried to characterize Wiser as coaching witnesses like Township Chief
Financial Officer Fred Ebenau and Police Chief Karin DiMichele. Wiser said that was incorrect, and that he was making sure all the witnesses had the correct information. Michelini noted $350,000 in bills from Wiser’s employers from the start of this through August of 2019, and questioned who was paying those bills. If the township is paying them, he argued, then why are they spending money fighting their own residents? Wiser said his client is the planning board. Michelini implied that Wiser was hired to give an opinion or evidence that said SSP should stay. Wiser said he was presenting facts without direction. Michelini also questioned a 399-page report that Wiser oversaw as part of this process. He compared it to another report Wiser had written when the area of Seaview Harbor wanted to de-annex from Egg Harbor Township. A few sections were identical in both, so Michelini questioned what Wiser was being paid for. The lawyer also asked Wiser why he didn’t use the former de-annexation case when SSP tried to leave in the 1970s. SSP had petitioned to leave, but Berkeley did not allow them. It went to the courts and in 1978, the Supreme Court of New Jersey declared that Berkeley’s actions were “not based on reasonable grounds nor on credible evidence.” It ordered Berkeley to agree to SSP de-annexing back then. However, they did not get far and is still with Berkeley today. The five-year case is likely to be coming to a close soon. The next meeting is Nov. 7. The Planning Board still has to question Wiser to rehabilitate his testimony.

Fish:
Continued From Page 1 Dock Cooperative in Point Pleasant Beach included members of each agency who spoke about how the program was designed to prevent the waste of fresh fish and how it would provide food for those in need. “This will be a game changer when it comes to providing fresh protein to those who are food insecure in New Jersey and Monmouth and Ocean counties in particular,” said Kim Guadagno, CEO and president, Fulfill, and former Lt. Governor of New Jersey. Guadagno explained seafood gleaning during the news conference. “most of us know what produce gleaning is which is simply taking the extra produce that would otherwise be tossed and giving it to food pantries and shelters. It is the same thing here only with seafood.” “Com mercial f isher ies of ten have what is called bycatch, which is a lot of leftover fish, which they can’t use for one reason or another, which is either tossed back or sometimes tossed into the dumpster and it’s perfectly good fish. Today we’re going to start gleaning that fish. We’re going to save that fish,” Guadagno said. Pointing to several bright blue containers on the dock, Guadagno said, “we are going to turn that food out to Trinity food processors and make sure that fish gets turned over to those in Monmouth and Ocean counties who need it the most
The Berkeley Times, October 12, 2019, Page 5 and there are a lot of them.” Guadag no said 136,000 people in Monmouth and Ocean County “will go to bed tonight not knowing where their next meal is coming from. One out of seven or 50,000 of them are children.” Fulfill’s mission is to alleviate hunger and build food security in Monmouth and Ocean counties and to make sure that all people at all times have access to enough nutritious food to maintain an active and healthy life. Members of the group prepared some basic recipes to assist those receiving the fish to cook several meals. Guadagno thanked “the Tyson Foods Protein Innovation Fund for its $50,000 grant that made the pilot project possible. We’ve actually processed our first fish from this…Not only is this program the first of its kind in this country but I think it will be successful throughout the countr y because of what we are doing here.” Brick Wenzel, president, America’s Gleaned Seafood said, “We’re kicking this program off here in New Jersey and in Monmouth and Ocean counties where we have two of the top 20 commercial fishing ports in the continental United States. We catch over 200 species of fish in New Jersey. Usually when you think of the fishing industry you think of Massachusetts but New Jersey has a vibrant commercial fishing industry.” “When you talk about the complexity of the seafood gleaning program we’re putting together, this is not something that will happen overnight. We are an-
ticipating 30, 40 maybe 50 years to get this program running to 100 percent because our long-term goal here is to get gleaning built into every fisheries’ management plan.” Trinity Seafood President Mike Carson said, “We are very excited to be a part of this groundbreaking program. We can’t think of a better way to give back to the community then by helping provide food for the hungry,” Trinity Seafood is part of SYSCO Foods. Carson said, “how this works is that the fishermen bring in the product that is targeted for gleaning and they bring it to the docks and the dock workers work with them at no charge and they are put in these vats, iced down, and

a local delivery vehicle is dispatched to swing by and brings the product to Trinity and it is put on the roster for production.” He added thus far Trinity has been involved with providing 1,674 meals for the program. Glea ned seafood ha s rea ched St. Marks Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen in Keansburg and the feedback was positive. Erin Leo, registered dietitian and nutrition programs coordinator at Fulfill said, “Fish promotes brain health.” Leo noted several health benef its of fish including a low-fat content, high quality protein and that it is “filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (ribof lavin).

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Make Local Changes Matter People are so angry at what’s going on in the world that they overlook the small, solvable problems just outside their door. People watch or read world news but not local news. Why is it that someone can say what’s going on in another country but they have no idea what’s going on in their ow n tow n? They can tell you the names of the movers and shakers in Washington, but couldn’t tell you the name of their own mayor. You might be wellversed in a national debate, but no one on the federal level cares what you think. You are just one voter. One drop of rain in the ocean. Your opinion on the national or international theater means nothing. Now, of course, if you are par t of a g reater
movement that is something. But Donald Trump or Phil Murphy aren’t going to listen to one solitary voter. On the contrar y, if you want to really affect change, start local. I’ve been to some council or board of education meetings where the only people in the audience are reporters. If you have a solution, if there’s a dangerous road, if the taxes are too high, if there are neighbors who are breaking township codes, t hese a re t he changes you can make. It’s a bit hypocritical of me because I can’t get out to my own town meetings as much as I would like, but I want to underscore the importance of getting involved in your own town.

Letters To The Editor Mayor Challenged To Debate My name is Laura Shaw. I am running for the office of Mayor of Berkeley Township. I am a lifelong resident of the Bayville section and this is my first time running for elected office. I am excited and humbled to be running for mayor in the town I grew up in. I have spent the last several months knocking on doors and meeting residents. It has been an enlightening and rewarding experience. I have three terrific running mates, also all first time candidates. We got into this race for all the right reasons; mainly to improve the qualit y of life in our hometown and keep it affordable to live here. I have a lot of ideas to achieve these goals and I would like to share them in a public setting, and cont rast them with our current mayor’s ideas and his eight year record. I have let it be known that I want to have a debate with our current mayor. I have challenged him to a debate on social media several times and have had no response. I think t he voters of Berkeley Township need and deserve to hear their elected officials and those seeking off ice present their platforms. Since I have not received any response to my previous overtures, I want to take this opportunity, in a public newspaper for all to see, to challenge Mayor Amato to a debate. I will comply with any format he wants to use; a moderator, a panel discussion, a voter Q&A. He can pick the date, the time and the location. I k now there are undecided voters in town who would find a mayoral debate to be helpf ul in making this very important decision. So what do you say, Mayor Amato? Shall we give the voters

Amato’s Leadership, Compassion Got Us Through Sandy I want to express my deep appre ciat ion t o Mayor Car men A mato for his assistance and leadership during Superstorm Sandy. On the 29th of this month, we will mark the 7th ann ive r sa r y si nce Sa ndy decimated our area. I was one of the unlucky ones, as I lost most of my home on that day. Many of my neighbors in Glen Cove, some in Good Luck Point and Berkeley Shores were also vict i ms of Sa ndy, losing everything. Before and during the storm, Mayor Amato kept us residents informed by sending out messages and automated calls. Immediately after the stor m, Mayor Amato personally went into the storm-ravaged areas with dozens of trucks and equipment with public works personnel to start the long clean-up process. T his clean-up was at no cost to any of the residents affected by Sandy. During the long twowe ek bla ckout , Mayor Amato coordinated with JCP&L to have free water and ice for area residents at the recreation center. He was there helping distribute it most evenings a n d we e ke n d s! M ayo r Amato also ordered 24hour police protection and command posts to protect the areas from criminals so only “US” residents had access to our dark neighborhoods. A few weeks later, Mayor A mato held publ ic i nformation seminars and wo r k s h o p s w it h SBA , FEM A, Red Cross and
groups to help and aid our residents in the rebuilding process. The Mayor sol icit e d a nd r e c eive d $200,000 from the Robin Ho o d Fou nd at ion t h at provided mini grants to homeowners. When the state and federal government finally allocated the Sandy Relief funding, it was Mayor Amato who took the ext raordi nar y steps to notify the affected residents of the grants that would be available and how to apply for them. A s P r e sid e nt of t h e Berkeley Township Taxpayers Coalition, I also want to commend Mayor Amato and the Council for the outstanding job they have done in keeping our Township affordable, despite the loss of tens of millions of dollars in retables during Superstorm Sandy. Berkeley Township has the SECOND lowest overall Proper t y Taxes in all of Ocean County, thanks to their hard work. Mayor Amato is running for re-election this year. I wanted to remind the residents of the extraordinary effort he put forth then, during the worst natural disaster to hit our area in my lifetime, and the effort he puts forth each and every day serving our community. Mayor Amato has ear ned my suppor t and I encourage you to vote for Mayor Amato and the entire the Amato Team on Column A. Samuel Cammarato, President Berkeley Township Taxpayers Coalition Superstorm Sandy Survivor
The Corrupt Conservative Media A writer from Manchester talks about the corrupt liberal media, Fake news and silent majority (“Silent Majority Should Stand Up Vs. Media Bias,”
Let’s start with silent majority. Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million votes. That’s not a majority. His approval rating has never been even close to 50%. As far as being silent I don’t see that from Trump supporters. They are gener ally bu llies spew i ng false claims and they hate facts. On the fake news media that would apply to Fox News who constantly comes out with “alternate facts.” They have been caught over and over making false statements, taking statements out of context to change the meaning and many times outright lies. Their retractions are a lways af t e r m id n ig ht when most of their viewers are not watching. I remember one in particular during the controversy of football players kneeling during the National Anthem where they showed a photo of players from the Philadelphia Eagles k neeling stating it was during the anthem when is act ually was players praying before the game. They made a retraction in writing but never retracted it during the show it was broadcast. I never saw anything that blatant done on any other news show. And of course let’s not forget the King of Fake News Donald Trump himself, the man is pathological liar who gets caught several times a day making false or outrageous statements. Remember he went for two years saying President Obama was not born in the US and he was going to show indisputable proof. W hat ever hap pened to that proof? Fox News and Tr ump harassed Obama daily but I guess you forgot that. I thin k the eight abysmal years you are talking about were the Bush presidency. Joseph Marra Seaside Park

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined. Only then can medical professionals determine what would be best for you. People suffering from knee pain often try a number of potential solutions before finding relief. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s where expert 5-star care and nearly 20 years of experience comes into play at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation.

At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient.

Acupuncture sessions take place in a relaxing setting. A Licensed Acupuncturist will insert tiny needles into incredibly precise points of the body, sending signals to the brain to release neurotransmitters that reduce feelings of pain. These tiny pricks that most patients can hardly feel are awakening your body’s innate ability to relieve pain –all while you get to sit back and relax. Osteoarthritis patients who receive acupuncture regularly may see noticeable improvements in levels of pain and functionality. Acupuncture is especially effective when combined with other treatment methods and may even improve the effects of physical therapy and other modalities.

5 Tips To Keep Your Technology Going Strong Does hearing technology call for ongoing professional upkeep? Can I handle any needed maintenance at home? How can I tell whether my devices are damaged? Where can I take them for replacement or repair? Much like today’s tablets and cell phones, hearing aids are powered by complex technology that may require professional attention in certain circumstances, but a little DIY maintenance can go a long way in keeping your devices in top shape. Read on for five simple tips to maximize your tech’s longevity. Keep ’Em Dry and Sanitized: Water is kryptonite to hearing aids, so remember to remove them before showering or swimming, and use a hearing aid dryer or dehumidifier not only to reduce moisture but to sanitize and store your technology at the same time. Wipe Off the Wax: Earwax (also called cerumen) naturally accumulates in the ear and on your hearing aid, but gently wiping your devices each night with a soft, dry cloth and clearing the part of the device that goes into your ear canal with the provided tooth brush will make quick work of the buildup. Check the Batteries: Batteries typically can last from a few days to a couple weeks
depending on the technology, usage, and other factors, but a constantly beeping hearing aid may mean the batteries need changing. Always keep spares on hand, and remember to remove and store batteries at room temperature apart from your hearing aids when not wearing them. Ask for a “battery caddy.” Replace the Wax Guard: Put your hearing aid’s wax guard — which helps protect against the damaging accumulation of wax, skin particles, and debris — on a monthly change schedule. Also, if your technology isn’t functioning properly even with fresh batteries, it may be time to change the wax guard. Skip the Pockets: Pockets seem naturally convenient for carrying loose hearing aids and batteries while on the go, but not so fast! Keep your devices in their case to avoid losing or getting debris on them, and place batteries where they won’t come into contact with keys, coins, and other metals, which can cause battery discharge and other problems. Self-care of your hearing aids is an important part of keeping them performing their best, and periodic clean and checks with our caring professionals will identify and address any damage or other problems that might otherwise be harder to spot.

B Vitamin Deficiency Apparent In The Potty By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
When you think of B complex, you probably think of it as one B vitamin, but “B Complex” refers to a group of B vitamins consisting of B1, B2, B3, B6 and others. The B Complex available as a dietary supplement is intended to fill a nutrient gap that some people develop from malnutrition. This is fine, however most people can eat their way to better B status. The concerns about B vitamin deficiency are frequently overlooked by the most caring practitioners. Remember, the mindset in today’s atrocious health care system is to medicate you, so you’re bound to get a drug for a symptom, even if that symptom stems from a nutrient deficiency! But that’s what you have me for, I have written articles for 20 something years to help you identify nutrient depletion and proper ways of restoration. Here are some signs and symptoms of B deficiency: Fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, hypothyroidism, burning mouth, nerve pain, memory issues, depression, vision/hearing difficulty, hair loss, confusion, agitation and numbness. Do you have a lot of those? One thing that leads to B vitamin deficiency is being a fussy eater. There’s a new case study about a boy who was so fussy about his food that all he ate was fries, white bread, potato chips, slices of ham and sometimes sausage. Perhaps you know a child or adult who has a limited diet? According to the case study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the teenager impacted his hearing and vision. So profound was his B12 deficiency,
injections of it could not save his sight. As adults, B deficiencies could be even more profound due to the oxidative oxidative damage that occurs from drinking alcohol, smoking and taking medicines which deplete B vitamins. Medications that are known to lower B vitamins include oral contraceptives, blood pressure pills, metformin, antibiotics and acid blockers. The first sign of B12 deficiency could be apparent in the potty. I’m referring to diarrhea or loose stools. If you suddenly have this problem, and it’s not related to food poisoning or antibiotic use, then consider a B vitamin deficiency. A balanced diet will give you the full range of B vitamins, so don’t worry if you eat eggs, vegetables, salad, fruits, chicken, seafood, red meat, dairy and nuts. If you have a limited diet for some reason, and you decide to supplement, buy a B complex that offers the B nutrients in their body-ready, biologically active form. For example, “methylfolate,” not folic acid, and “pyridoxal phosphate,” not pyridoxine. Most people don’t realize that some of the most important B vitamins are manufactured in the GI tract by our own microflora (probiotics help restore healthy microflora). So a deficiency in biotin, B12 and other B’s could indicate that you’ve stripped your gut of healthy probiotics. This contributes to the diarrhea, or for some, constipation alternating with diarrhea. If you have pins/needles or neuropathy, or you take the medication metformin, then B vitamins are essential for you.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
She’s Got Happy Feet And He’s Got Cold Feet
Dear Joel, My husband is a charming man. He’s faithful and loves people, but when we go to parties and he hears music, he’s turns into a dancing machine. The problem is I’m not. He dances with everyone… young or old, family or friends even kids. Am I wrong to feel a little jealous when he’s dancing with other women? I’ll admit I have two left feet, but how should I deal with my resentment? Answer I’ll bet there are some women who are a little jealous of you. Most men hate dancing which may just be why your husband is so popular. I know it’s hard to sit on the sidelines, but what is really disturbing you? Are you afraid he’s flirt-
ing or that he is having a better time than you? Try enjoying his performances. You have a very rare thing, a husband who likes dancing. Some people bring their prize winning recipes to parties; you instead bring a dancing partner for all with you, which makes you very popular too. Look at your husband like he’s a bestselling book at the library; everyone shares and enjoys it and in the end, it winds back up at home. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Spooky But Safe: Officials Urge Caution As Halloween Approaches
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – As spooky season descends upon Ocean County, officials are working to ensure that the only Halloween scares residents see are the fun kind. “As Halloween approaches I again ask that our children, parents and drivers pay special attention to safety so everyone can enjoy a safe and spooky holiday,” Freeholder Joseph Vicari said. Vicari reminds parents to check in on the Megan’s Law website to be aware of any potential sex offenders that may live in your neighborhood, or neighborhoods where children may be trick-or-treating for candy. “This only takes a few minutes and can make a big difference in keeping a child safe,” Vicari said. The Megan’s Law website provides a database of up-to-date information on all convicted sex offenders who are residents of New Jersey. Towns, counties, zip codes and even individual streets can be easily reviewed. The database can be accessed through a link on the Ocean County Government Homepage at co.ocean.nj.us. In addition, Vicari suggests opting for face makeup over a mask for your Halloween costume, as masks can obstruct a child’s vision making it difficult for them to see oncoming traffic. “Wear light-colored clothing or add reflective tape to darker costumes,” he added. “Always carry a flashlight at night.” When trick-or-treating, young children should be accompanied by an adult and older children should travel in groups for their safety, Vicari added. “Make sure trick-or-treaters know to only approach familiar houses that have outside lights on and never enter a stranger’s home or
vehicle,” he said. After bringing home your Halloween candy haul, parents should inspect all treats before letting kids consume them. Vicari also reminds everyone to never eat candy that has been opened already. As the Halloween season gets on, residents will of course be shopping around for that perfect costume. Vicari encourages residents to pur-

more likely to be struck by an automobile on Halloween than on any other night of the year. “In the excitement of the day, trick-or-treaters probably won’t be paying attention to passing motor vehicles, so slow down and drive cautiously,” he said. Before heading out for nighttime trick-or-treating, stop by the annual Toms River Halloween Parade on October 31.

Residential Real Estate Tax Appeals Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
January is the time to consider whether to appeal your residential real estate taxes. This article will address some of the most commonly asked questions about tax appeals. The most important thing to understand about real estate tax appeals is what you can and cannot appeal. Under New Jersey law, you can only appeal that the assessment for your property is in excess of the property’s fair market value. The assessment is the municipality’s determination as to the value of your property. This determination is sent to each taxpayer around February 1 of each year in the form of a post card identifying the property and the current assessment. It is equally important to know what you cannot appeal. You cannot appeal the following: (1) the amount of taxes which you have to pay; (2) whether you can afford to pay the taxes; (3) that another person is paying less taxes than you; and (4) that the assessment of another property is less than yours. Thus, the local County Tax Board can only hear appeals that the property’s assessment is greater than its fair market value. The municipal tax assessment is entitled to a presumption that it is correct. It is up to the taxpayer to prove that the assessment is excessive. To do this, the taxpayer must present evidence to the Tax Board as to the correct fair market value of the property. This evidence
should be in the form Marc S. Galella Esq. of sales of comparable properties which occurred on or before October 1 of the year prior to the filing of the appeal. Since most people do not k now how to obtain comparable sales, it is best to hire a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser to prepare an appraisal showing the comparable sales. The appraisal must be filed with the Tax Board no later than one week prior to the tax appeal hearing date. The appraiser should also be at the hearing to present the appraisal. In most cases all tax appeals must be fi led no later than April 1 of each year. However, the appeal deadline may be earlier or later. It is best to check with the town as to the fi ling deadline. The fi ling deadline is strictly enforced and the failure to fi le by the deadline will result in the appeal being dismissed. Taxpayers seeking to file appeals should begin the process as soon as they receive the assessment card from the tax assessor. 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 fi ling and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Donate And Save A Life: Ocean County Mall Marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Mall is marking October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by partnering with Susan G. Komen, the world’s leading nonprofit breast cancer organization. As part of Simon’s fall campaign, over 150 Simon Malls, Mills, and Premium Outlets nationwide, including the Ocean County Mall, will be participating in a range of activities during the month of October. “We are thrilled to launch our More Than Pink initiative and have been overwhelmed by the ongoing positive support this movement has garnered with our shoppers, retailers, and employees to support Susan G. Komen in its tireless efforts to save lives and
end breast cancer forever,” said Erin Barbato of Ocean County Mall. If you make a $10 donation to Susan G. Komen during the month of October at the Ocean County Mall, you will receive a discount pass valid at participating retailers. When purchasing a gift card at the Mall Office, Simon will donate $1 to Komen for each specially marked Visa Simon Giftcard purchased. The More Than Pink initiative allows Ocean County Mall to do its part in helping to save lives and helping Komen reach its Bold Goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the United States by 2026. Last year, Simon raised more than $550,000 to benefit Susan G. Komen, all generated through the support and participation of shoppers, retailers, and employees.

When the sweet potatoes are done, remove the pan from the oven and set it aside on the stovetop for about five minutes. Carefully remove the foil. Pick out and discard the pieces of ginger and cinnamon stick. While the potatoes are still hot, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they are as chunky or smooth as you like. Sprinkle in the orange zest and stir well. If you’d prefer a richer flavor, add butter to taste, stirring to incorporate it as it melts. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed with a little more salt and pepper.
