By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST - It was a night of honor and accomplishment for Borough Police Chief Eric Higgins and his department as he received a certificate of accreditation from the New Jersey State Chiefs Association. Higgins received the certification during a recent Borough Council meeting, where Mayor Harry Robbins and members of the borough council congratulated the members of the police department on their accomplishment. “We are very proud of you all,” Robbins said. Accredited status represents a significant professional achievement and acknowledges the implementation of policies and procedures that are conceptually sound and operationally effective, according to the NJ State Chiefs Association. The borough’s police department serves a community of over 2,500 residents and responds to and handles over 11,000 calls for service each year. Officers respond to medical issues, traffic accidents, domestics, neighbor disputes, property crimes, and general calls for assistance. Higgins discussed the three-year process of gaining the special accreditation and what it meant. The chief credited Special Officer Melissa Morelli who served as accreditation manager (Police - See Page 4)

during the process. “I chose her because of how meticulous she is. She kept me on point. It is a very tedious process. She kept this whole process going. I really want to thank her.” Higgins said that while the department did not need to make a lot of changes to gain the accreditation his officers were very accepting of what had to be done and “I hope they feel very proud tonight. I know I am very proud tonight.” The NJ State Association of Chiefs of Police has pursued the concept and development of a voluntary statewide law enforcement accreditation program for New Jersey which has resulted in the formation of the NJSACOP Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission. This consists of commissioners with the overall responsibility of adopting program standards, as well as reviewing all assessment reports and approving of all recommendations for the granting of accredited status of applicant. According to the NJ State Association of Chiefs of Police, accreditation is a progressive and time-proven method of assisting law enforcement agencies to calculate and improve their overall performance. The foundation of accreditation lies in the adoption of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer attended the presentation and congratulated the department. He said his office

Other Ocean County Township police departments and entities who have received accreditation or re-accreditation include Toms River, Seaside Heights, Berkeley, Manchester, Plumsted and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. “We just added a few more, Ocean Township (Waretown) and Pine Beach,” Delgado said after the presentation. During the meeting another presentation was made, Mayor Robbins presented a plaque to Jermaine Jackson as the 2019 Citizen of the Year Award. Jackson was joined by his family and joined the police officers assembled in a photo. In other council business, Councilman Gary Lowe noted $6,000 in repairs on Fire Company vehicles and discussed some
work to be done at the fi re house, such as the possible replacement of carpet and painting the walls. “I don’t think we should replace the carpet. We never should have had a carpet,” Lowe said. “Let’s get a couple of vendors for the painting and floors, public works will probably paint it,” Robbins said. Councilman James Davis said that he and Borough Clerk Maryanne Capasso would be attending a meeting at McGuire Air Force Base pertaining to development and that he would prepare a report concerning the session for the next council meeting. Councilman Robert McCarthy and Councilwoman Robin Busch discussed the progress of work done on Willow and Pine streets.

has 204 employees and that his office “is an accredited agency. We went through this process and it is an arduous process to say the least so if Melissa was responsible for guiding you through it, she deserves a lot of credit, as does your chief. This ensures that your police department is properly organized and has efficiency with proper record keeping and other areas. And it is an achievement to get me to come out to a council meeting,” Billhimer said joking with members of the Borough Council. NJSACOP Accreditation Program Director Harry J. Delgado explained during the night’s presentation that participating agencies conduct a thorough self-analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these standards and objectives. When the procedures are in place, a team of trained, independent assessors verifies that the applicable standards have been successfully implemented. “There are about 560 agencies that would be eligible for this accreditation in New Jersey and to date only about 39% of them have made it. Tonight, your police department is now part of that very elite group of law enforcement agencies that have made this kind of commitment,” he said. Attitudes, training and actions of personnel of New Jersey’s law enforcement agencies best reflect compliance with the standards contained in this program, he said. Policy and procedure based on accreditation will not create mistake-free policing or a crimefree environment for citizens but it shows a commitment to excellence.

the Sustainable Jersey awards luncheon in Atlantic City. “Environmental sustainability is a key concern for us all, and Manchester Township is proud to once again participate in the Sustainable New Jersey program. I’m proud of the continued effort our Township employees put forth into maintaining this prestigious distinction,” said Mayor Kenneth Palmer. As part of the Sustainable Jersey qualifications, Manchester Township had to meet
a minimum of 150 action points, which can encompass anything from community outreach to energy efficiency efforts. In addition, Manchester was required to create a green team to perform at least two of 12 priority actions. Manchester Township completed the following: • Creating a Green Team • Writing Community Wildfire Protection Plans • Creating a Ready, Set, Go program • Identifying vulnerable populations for emergencies
• Creating a Wildfire Safety Council • Creating a Wind Ordinance • Creating an Anti-Idling Education and Enforcement Program • Designing and building a Rain Garden • Taking the Sustainable Land Use Pledge • Having an Environmental Commission • Having an Open Space and Recreation Plan • Creating a Clustering Ordinance • Creating an Environmental Impact Statement Ordinance • Creating a Tree Protection Ordinance • Having a Prescription Drug Safety and Disposal Program
• Hosting a Community Paper Shredding Day • Accepting Household Hazardous Waste • Housing a Recycling Depot Randy Solomon, executive director of Sustainable Jersey, congratulated all Sustainable Jersey communities, stating: “Earning certification involves more than just implementing sustainable actions. It takes extraordinary leadership and a real commitment to making our communities better.” Township officials noted that, as Manchester is home to a considerable amount of open space land, ensuring the safety and preservation of the local environment is a priority.
Associated Humane Societies Offers Fire Safety Tips For Pets
OCEAN COUNTY - It is estimated that about 500,000 pets are affected by house fires each year. Statistics show that about 20 percent of all house fires start between 4 and 8 a.m., when residents are sleeping. “To lose a family pet under any circumstances is devastating. To lose a pet in a fire is beyond words,” said Roseann Trezza, executive director, Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park. “Firefighters will attempt to save family pets, but they need to have an idea of where they are in the house and if there are pets at all.” Associated Humane Societies offers pet owners special decals that, when prominently placed in front and back doors or windows, will alert fire or rescue personnel of the type and number of animals inside the home or apartment in case of emergency. A decal is especially important where
there are several dwellings, like condominiums, apartments or townhouses so firefighters know which living quarters contain pets. The four inch square decals are designed in standard fire department colors of red and yellow, with black type. These will affix to almost any surface, and have space available to write information in permanent marker or ballpoint pen. Cost is $2 for two decals and can be purchased by mailing cash or check with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Pet Decals, c/o Society, 124 Evergreen Ave., Newark, NJ 07114. And to help pet owners safeguard their pets and homes from fire and the damage it can cause, Associated Humane Societies offers the following tips: Be sure house numbers are clearly visible. In apartments, many animals have perished because fi refighters did not know which
houses or apartments had pets. Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s the single most important way to alert you and your loved ones of a hazardous condition. Place them on each level of your house. If you cannot afford one, contact your local fire department who will sometimes donate the devices. Keep burning candles out of the reach of pets and children and never leave burning candles unattended. A knocked over candle can ignite an entire house in a matter of moments. Consider opting for the many beautiful flameless candles now available. Check for loose wires and watch out for wire-chewers. Some curious cats, dogs and even rabbits will chew on electrical wires. Protect the wires or make them inaccessible. Make other electric appliances are turned

off and unplugged before leaving the house. Keep the clothes dryer lint-free and take extra precautions when drying foam-backed rugs, athletic shoes and other non-cloth items. If you leave the house without your pets, keep them in areas or rooms that are near entrances where firefighters will find them. Keep collars and leashes where you can easily grab them if you need to evacuate your home. Make sure your dog or cat is wearing proper identification or is microchipped. In case he or she runs out the door, your chances are much better of having your pet safely returned to you. Microchipping is safe, painless and a great way to identify missing pets. However, the information on the chip is only obtainable and useful if you remember to register with the microchip agency.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Barnegat JROTC Saluted
Open letter to Chief Wa r r a nt Of f ice r Ji m Mackey, a nd pa rent s and cadets of the Barnegat High School Navy JROTC program: Just wanted to take the time to thank you and your cadets for all the help they gave us during our most recent Thank You d i n ne r we hosted for local Viet nam veterans on Saturday, 10/12/19, at Barnegat’s American Legion Post 232. Several cadets were there from start to finish, helping us to set up, t hen brea k dow n and clean up. They took time out of their free Saturday to come and s h ow lo c a l Vie t n a m veterans how much they mean to ou r com munit y, and did so with honor and respect. Two of the cadets (Jasmine and Valorie) even WALKED several miles to the American Legion post on their own, in their uniforms, to ensu re t hey were t here promptly at 4 p.m. Even though they were the first ones to arrive, they insisted on being the last ones to leave, too. Anthony, Mary, James, and Philip were other cadets whose names I was able to note with staying practically from start to finish, but that d id n’t me a n t he re st of the total of 13 cadets who came later on didn’t sacrifice something in order to help others that day. As I understand it, the others who could n’t get there earlier on in the evening were at a drill in a town far away, and h a d b e e n up si nce 4 a.m. that day. Despite that grueling schedule, they still chose to come immediately afterwards to help at ou r event, a nd st ay ‘t il t he end
with putting tables and chai r s ba ck t oget he r and sweeping up. Even though I didn’t get all t hei r na mes, please k now we appreciated each and every one of them for coming and for giving us some of their free time on a Saturday night. Not having children ourselves, Jimmy and I don’t get much positive exposure to youth, since social media is rife with examples of their downfall. However, each time we have an interaction with Barnegat’s youth, and especially with the cadets f rom you r program, our hope for humanity is regained, and I’m not trying to be cheesy in stating that. If you know me, you know I tell it like it is. We’re so glad Barnegat has this program to offer our younger generations, because we feel our community greatly benef its from it. In a time where complaints versus compliments are doled out 100:1, we felt it was impor tant you k now how mu ch t he contributions of these young men and women were appreciated. This open letter was posted with the hope ou r sentiments reach the cadets, their parents, and to any leaders upstream. We also wanted to make su re our gratefulness and encouragement to those in the program and others thinking about entering the program are relayed in a timely manner. Thank you for all you do in helping to create such terrific citizens of Barnegat! Thy and Jimmy Cavagnaro Founders, Thanking Vietnam Veterans in Barnegat
School Cuts Will Hurt Local Businesses This is a letter Superintendent Charles Sampson sent to the local chambers of commerce regarding the impacts of S-2 on both the Freehold Regional High School District and the community at large. This will be a significant issue here as it has been in other towns such as Toms River. I wanted to take a moment to discuss Senate Bill 2 (S-2) and the impacts that it will have on both the Freehold Regional High School District and the community at large. The Freehold Regional is an exemplary district. Our students have outstanding opportunities to explore their passions whether through participation in one of our specialized Magnet Programs, career and technical education pathways or through various clubs and sports teams. As a regionalized system, our economy of scale allows us to provide a superior education for our students while spending approximately $3,500 per pupil less than similar districts. In fact, our per-pupil costs are below most of the K-8 systems in our area despite running hundreds of clubs and athletic teams. The belief that this district has somehow lived “high on the hog” for years as stated by supporters of S-2 is a dangerous misrepresentation. This year, the Freehold Regional was reduced $3.8 million state aid, next year we will lose between $6 and $7 million with subsequent reductions for the next four years thereafter continuing on until we lose approximately $30 million in
Letters To The Editor funding. Our cumulative loss begin to erode. As we face our Kurdish allies there and in state aid will reach $120 million dollars by the end of this phase-in. Even with raising taxes we will never be able to close that gap. Our class sizes are already at 30 students for core courses. That number will have to rise to accommodate cuts. Critical infrastructure work will be delayed, our extracurricular structure will change, transportation for students will also be affected. S-2 will change the face of this district. As business leaders, you understand how vital a great school system is to the local area. For years, homebuyers have flocked to the eight towns that form the Freehold Regional in part because of the fantastic educational opportunities that we provided students. With property taxes poised to increase while services decrease as a result of the funding cuts, this region of Monmouth County will no longer hold the same appeal to homebuyers. Property values will decline as this distinguished district becomes a shell of its former self. There has been a lot of discussion over the benefits of regionalization in the news recently. We have seen the benefits of being a regional system. The irony of the situation is that the financial burden S-2 is imposing on our district is tearing apart the foundation of this regional system. As the funding impact of S-2 plays out differently in each community and as individual towns begin to seek isolated ways to support their specific schools within our system, the efficiency found within our regionalized system will

tens of millions in cuts ahead of us, the attractiveness of our community for business owners will diminish as our schools and students suffer. I believe legislators never considered that these misguided funding cuts could destroy a regionalized system. I write to you asking for your support in voicing opposition to this severely flawed funding formula. It must be re-examined and the phase-in should be delayed until the full scope of impact is understood. I look forward to our continued partnership to ensure the long-term viability of this exceptional community. Charles B. Sampson, Ed.D. Superintendent Freehold Regional
The Unquestioning Cult Of Trump A cult is defined as an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers (Webster’s Dictionary). A cult of personality is defined as a cult promoting adulation of a living national leader or public figure. Human history abounds with cults of personality, better known as personality cults. Most seniors remember the Hitler cult, the Stalin cult, the Mao cult. More recently, we’ve seen numerous American cults, large and small. There were Charles Manson of “Manson Family” rampaging and killing (California 1969); Jim Jones of The People’s Temple dying with hundreds of his cultists in a coerced mass suicide (Guyana 1978); David Koresh of the Branch Davidians sect (Waco, TX 1993); Marshall Applewhite of Heaven’s Gate, who with his followers hitched a ride on the Hale-Bopp Comet to heaven by mass suicide (CA 1997). Nowadays, huge cults can be found in North Korea (Kim Jong-un); in Russia (Vladimir Putin); in China (Xi Jinping); and most ironic and dangerous of all, our homegrown Trump Cult. No operative of Putin has been more productive for Russian interests than our own president. Trump has just gifted Putin with Syria by deserting
redeploying them to protect oil instead of people; he has brought joy to his mentor/ friend Putin by wreaking havoc with our European allies; threatening NATO; bullying Ukraine; continually accepting Putin’s denials while rejecting all of America’s intelligence agencies’ conclusions; and faking a new conspiracy that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election. Trump has hollowed out and compromised every Department of the Federal Government; weakened them to the point of impotency; and aggregated more and more power to the Oval Office! He has symbolically lynched Obama by obliterating his legacy. Withdrew from Iran nuclear deal (check). Withdrew from Paris Accord (check). Killed Affordable Care Act without a replacement (almost check). Overturned all regulatory actions and executive orders that actually benefited citizens (check). Better to breathe noxious air; drink and bathe in toxic water; walk on polluted soil; drown in rising oceans. He seems obsessed with undoing Obama’s intelligent and justified actions. He will not allow a smidgeon of credit to Obama for saving America and the world from another Great Depression (without a single supporting Republican vote for 8 years!) Oh no, “Trump single-handedly saved the economy,” they say; and, if Congress dares to try to remove him from office for his abuse of power, perpetual lies and other crimes, he claims the market will collapse because he alone is the Atlas who supports it upon his shoulders. But, even if the Senate were to convict him, he has no intention of stepping down because, by that time, he will have become his heart’s desire, the first American Dictator! I suggest this action to his cultist followers, be they members of Congress or his mesmerized Twitter audience. Why not try living under a dictator temporarily to see is you’ll like it? Move to Russia. If you like it there, stay. Obviously, you are not comfortable living with the Constitution of the United States and under the rule of law. Nicholas Molinari Brick

Officials: Protect Your Pets This Holiday Season
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – While you’re scurrying around to grab those last minute holiday gifts or stringing up the Christmas lights, Ocean County officials remind you to keep your pets and their safety in mind! “The Ocean County Health Department wants you to consider the potential health hazards that come with decorations, food, road trips, parties or having relatives and friends staying at your home during this festive time of year. Many of these things you may not think twice about until it’s too late,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Pets really are creatures of habit, so a change of routine or environment can be stressful.” Officials offer the following tips to keep your furry friends happy and healthy this holiday season: • Keep people food out of the reach of your pet, and ask your guests to do the same • Make sure your pet doesn’t have any access to treats, especially those containing chocolate, xylitol, grapes/raisins, onions or other toxic foods • Don’t leave your pet alone in the room with lit candles, a decorated tree or potpourri • Keep holiday plants (especially holly, mistletoe and lilies) out of reach of pets • Consider leaving the tinsel off your tree if you have a cat • Secure your tree to keep it from falling over if your dog bumps it or your cat climbs it. Hanging lemon-scented car air fresheners in the tree may deter your cat from climbing it. • Pack for your pet as well as yourself if you’re going to travel together: i.e. food, medications, copies of medical records, information to help identify your pet if it becomes lost, first aid supplies, etc. • Pets in vehicles should always be safely restrained and should never be left alone in the car in any weather. • Provide a safe place for your pet to escape the excitement (such as a kennel, crate, perching place, scratching post shelf or hiding place) if you’re entertaining guests. • Keep an eye on pets when people are entering or leaving your home. While you’re welcoming hungry guests and collecting coats, a four-legged family member may make a break for it out the door and become lost. • Make sure your pet has proper identif ication with your cur rent contact information – particularly a microchip with up-to-date, registered information. “Unfortunately we see an increase of pets that are brought to the county animal facilities because an owner loses their cat or dog while travelling or visiting,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean C ou nt y He a lt h D e p a r t me nt P ubl ic Health Coordinator. “That’s why it is so important to microchip your pet. The Ocean County Animal Facilities have
reunited hundreds of pets with their owners over the years because of the microchip. Otherwise many of those dogs or cats would never have been found by their owners.” In any situation, it is important to be prepared. Officials advise that you know how to get to your 24/7 emergency veterinary clinic before there’s an emergency,
talk with your vet in advance to find out where you would need to take your pet, and plan your travel route ahead of time. Always keep these numbers posted in an easy-to-find location in case of emergencies: • Your veterinarian’s clinic phone number and a 24/7 emergency veterinary clinic (if different)
• ASPCA Poison Cont rol Hotline: 1-888-426-4435 “Don’t let a mishap that you could’ve easily avoided ruin your holiday,” Regenye added. “Pets can sometimes find trouble but it’s our job to keep them from harm’s way.” For more information about pet health and safety, visit ochd.org.

Whiting Food Pantry Thanks You WHITING – During this holiday season, the Whiting Food Pantry would like to give thanks: Thank you to all the residents, clubs, organizations and businesses that support our Pantry with either monetary donations or donations of non-perishable food items. Without your continued support, the Pantry would not be able to provide for its 200 plus clients every month. Also, without dedicated volunteer staff we would not be able to provide the level of service that we do. So, we thank each and every one of our volunteers, we couldn’t operate without you. The Food Pantry has undergone many changes in the last two years. Most notably, we are now fully computerized and again we thank our volunteers who underwent intensive training to become proficient with the computer system that Fulfill utilizes (formerly the Food
Bank of Monmouth and Ocean County). Also, we have “The Clothing Tree” that is open the same days as the Food Pantry and again, fully staffed with volunteers, and we are very thankful for them. Clothes are sized and merchandized beautifully, and are available to the public for a nominal fee (and no charge for clients of the Pantry). We are open Monday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and the Clothing Tree is open the same days, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. We are located in the rear of the Community Reformed Church, 36 Lacey Road, Whiting. If you would like to volunteer at the Pantry please call the Church office at 732-350-0232 and leave your name and contact information. If you need the services of a Food Pantry/ Food Bank, please stop in during regular business hours.
Kevin’s Kids Help 400 Families This Holiday MANCHESTER – Manchester’s annual Kevin’s Kids drive provided gifts for over 400 local children and their families this year, thanks to the generosity of our school community. The following is a thank you letter from Kevin’s Kids Coordinator, Alex George. “Dear Manchester Friends, On behalf of the many children and families who were able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas morning, please accept my sincere thank you and gratitude for your generous donations and support during the annual Kevin’s Kids Christmas Drive. Your spirit of giving and your commitment to the students of Manchester Township made the drive successful. Because of you, children and families received coats, winter clothes, toys, gift cards to local businesses and supermar-
kets, and bikes. Many children will be smiling on Christmas morning. From the bottom of their hearts and ours, thank you for everything. “The contributions came from everywhere and included our own students, our staff, seniors, local businesses, our police, friends, neighbors and even some anonymous donors who just wanted to help. Each and every one of you played a role in sharing the Christmas spirit. Words cannot express the relief that was shared by parents who were not able to fulfill the wish lists of their children, but with your generosity, were able to do so. Thank you for putting smiles on the faces of our Manchester families. “May the New Year bring you health, happiness, and great success.”

NJ Company Stole $300K From Customers, Shut Down Abruptly
By Kimberly Bosco NEWARK – A lawsuit has been filed against a New Jersey company for allegedly defrauding customers who paid for Medicaid coverage, using their payments to fund personal expenses. Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and the Division of Consumer Affairs filed the suit today against Advanta Medicaid LLC d/b/a Advanta Medicaid Specialists (“Advanta”), which had offices in Ocean County and Waterbury, Connecticut. According to the suit, Advanta allegedly charged dozens of New Jersey consumers to assist them in establishing eligibility for Medicaid benefits, while offering a money-back guarantee for those not approved for Medicaid coverage, but failed to deliver the services promised or provide full refunds as guaranteed. Advanta then ceased operations abruptly, leaving consumers who had already paid for the company’s services with nowhere to turn, according to the AG. The lawsuit also names as defendants two individuals involved with the company, Nissim “Sam” Aryeh and Chaim E. Feller, both of Ocean County. These men allegedly transferred company funds into their personal accounts intended for their own personal use, including expenses at an Atlantic City casino, purchases at high-end clothing stores and restaurants, and payments to local private schools with no apparent connection to the business. “Families and individuals seeking assistance with Medicaid enrollment are among those who can least afford to lose thousands of dollars to fraud,” said Attorney General Grewal. “Today we’re sending a clear message that there will be serious consequences for companies and individuals who prey on New Jersey consumers, and particularly on those who are most vulnerable.” After receiving dozens of complaints about Advanta from residents, the Division opened an investigation into the matter. The Division reports that nearly 50 people who contracted with Advanta between 2014 and 2018 have reported paying upfront fees ranging from $3,000 to $9,000 each and then never
received the required services or any refund. According to the State’s complaint, which was filed in New Jersey Superior Court in Essex County last week, defendants raked in over $300,000 from these consumers alone before the company ultimately shut down abruptly. “The defendants’ alleged fraudulent conduct and reckless use of company funds left Advanta clients without the critical help that they paid for and were relying on when the company abruptly closed its doors,” said Paul R. Rodríguez, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. “We will seek justice for their clients and enforce the Consumer Fraud Act to ensure other New Jersey residents are protected when they spend their hard-earned money to hire a company or individual to provide any type of service.” The State alleges the defendants violated the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and advertising regulations by: Failing to submit applications for Medicaid services for consumers, despite the consumers paying up front in full for these services. Representing to consumers that Medicaid applications had been submitted when, in fact, they had not. Representing to consumers that the company would return their sensitive personal and fi nancial documentation, but then failing to do so. Failing to honor the money-back guarantee advertised on the company’s website. The State seeks restitution for injured consumers, to impose monetary penalties for the defendants’ alleged unfair and deceptive business practices, to terminate Advanta’s business registration, to recover attorneys’ fees and investigative costs, to bar any ongoing or future unfair and deceptive business practices by the defendants, and to restrict Aryeh and Feller’s business activities in the State. Any additional, unidentifi ed consumers with unfulfilled contracts with Advanta are encouraged to file an online complaint with the State Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting its website or call 1-800-242-5846 to receive a complaint form by mail.

When they were told they would get a chance to sit on Santa’s lap if they wanted, there were audible gasps throughout the room. The first present they all got was a stuffed Olaf from the “Frozen” movies. It was a testament to the kids – or perhaps how well
they respected “Miss Vivian” and their teachers – that they waited until everyone had a bag before opening it and seeing what was inside. Every item was donated by local merchants and residents. Some lent their time and talent, sewing items for the kids, Evanchik said. The giving didn’t stop there. Any leftover food was packaged for seniors in need.

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. Knee pain patients are unique and suffer from a great deal of pain. They deserve and require practitioners who are invested in their case, who take the time to explain what’s causing the pain
and why particular treatments may work or not work. That’s the difference at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Five-star service and the well-being of their patients are the doctors’ top priorities. 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. While these doctors do see many patients who receive injections to postpone painful knee surgery, some patients may benefit more from Cold Laser Therapy combined with physical therapy, or maybe acupuncture or vibration therapy. There are a number of possibilities and no one single solution to cure all knee pain. So what’s the solution? Start with a consultation with one of these skilled medical professionals. Sit down with one of the doctors to determine exactly which approach would be the most effective in your case. Take advantage of this special offer for Asbury Park Press Readers: FREE initial consultations ($245 value) for the first 17 people who call!
Knee Pain Solution: Combining Time-Tested Injections with New Technologies So many people who have been experiencing knee pain have sought out treatment before. Whether they tried a round of injections, painkillers, or saw a doctor and were told surgery is necessary, many people suffering from knee pain feel like they’ve tried everything. There have been many patients who have called Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation saying that they’ve exhausted all their options, but they may as well see if these therapies will help. They come in hopeless, and many end up having more success than ever before! So, what is it that makes this facility special? It’s bringing together all the individual working pieces to provide the well-rounded, all-encompassing treatment that delivers results. Patients can get multiple treatments all under one roof. Beyond that, the doctors at Monmouth Pain take the time to explain your condition and your treatment so that patients can understand what is going on. Why don’t you come see for yourself – call now to claim your FREE consultation ($245 value), available only to the first 17 callers. 732-345-1377 WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE LIKE? 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.
“Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation is the best place in the world to come to. It is a friendly atmosphere instead of business-like.

Prosecutor’s Office Launches “Ocean County Cares”
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – A new program launched by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is aiming to help kids that have been affected in some way by a traumatic event. Ocean County Cares was created by the OCPO in cooperation with the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association and the Ocean County Association of School Administrators.
“OCEAN COUNTY CARES is based on a model presented to me by Christopher Jakim, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas of New York and New Jersey (HIDTA),” stated Prosecutor Billhimer. “It really works as a tool for our law enforcement officers and school officials to communicate after any child is exposed to an Adverse
Childhood Experience (ACE) that involved the police.” The Ocean County Cares program is meant to help local law enforcement and school administration with mitigating the negative affects experienced by kids that have been exposed to a traumatic event. “A recent national survey revealed that 60% of children have been exposed to vio-
lence, crime or abuse. The data tells us that prolonged exposure to ACE’S can seriously undermine kid’s ability to focus, behave appropriately, and learn. Such exposure leads to difficulties in school, including truancy, suspension, dropping out, or involvement in the juvenile justice system,” Prosecutor Billhimer added. Prosecutor Billhimer issued a Law Enforcement Directive codifying the process, which states that whenever an officer responds to a situation where a school aged child is present and may have experienced an ACE, the officer is required to complete a standardized form that is distributed to a designated point of contact at the child’s school. No specifics or details of the incident are provided, instead, the notification only serves to alert the school about the student’s exposure to a potentially traumatic event and allows for the appropriate resources to be utilized to address the needs of the student. “The good news is, a lot of our police departments and individual schools in Ocean County were already doing this, OCEAN COUNTY CARES just formalizes the process so that children can get the attention they need,” said Billhimer. BIllhimer credited the Ocean County Chiefs of Police and the Ocean County Association of School Administrators for their help with this program. “It is my understanding that Ocean is the second county to have a county wide program like this, Cape May was first with “Handle with Care,” he added. “I’d really like to thank Chris Jakim, Special Agent in Charge, DEA/HIDTA, Anthony Pierro, Chief Juvenile Prosecutor, Chief Robert Tapp, President of the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association, Will Smith, President of the Ocean County Association of School Administrators and Kevin Ahearn, Executive County Superintendent for their assistance in establishing OCEAN COUNTY CARES. Little Egg Harbor Chief of Police Richard J. Buzby, Jr. was a tremendous help in resolving some issues in towns where the New Jersey State Police have jurisdiction, so thank you to Chief Buzby and the New Jersey State Police. This was a labor intensive project. We all shared the common goal of making sure that school aged children in Ocean County are afforded the services they need after experiencing a traumatic event,” Billhimer concluded.

Sudden hearing loss occurs so quickly literally overnight or in an instant - that the change in hearing is dramatic and can be very upsetting. A sudden hearing loss can involve any part of the hearing system and something as straight forward as earwax can cause a sudden hearing loss. However, the term usually refers to a sudden “nerve” or sensorineural hearing loss. The loss is almost always in one ear and may be accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus (ear noises), and/or aural fullness/pressure. Suspected causes of sudden sensorineural hearing loss include viral infection, ototoxic medications, acoustic trauma and meningitis. In most cases, the specific cause is never found (idiopathic). In cases with no known cause, viral infections or vascular blockage is suspected. There may be a history of a recent flu or cold, but in most cases, there are no other complaints. Partial or complete recovery occurs in about
60-65 percent of the cases. Recovery can take anywhere from a few days to a few months. Those who seek immediate medical attention (within a week) have a higher recovery rate than those who wait. The recovery rate is also higher for those with milder hearing losses. Patients who present with a severe and/or profound hearing loss with accompanying symptoms such as dizziness and/or tinnitus are less likely to recover their hearing. Someone who experiences sudden hearing loss should seek medical attention immediately so that medical treatment can be provided. The medical evaluation usually involves a thorough history, otologic and audiologic examination. Remember, a sudden loss of hearing is not normal. Therefore, do not hesitate to contact your primary care physician or ear, nose and throat physician for immediate medical treatment.

Toxic Holiday Plants To Children And Pets
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
So you know how I love to use plants as ‘medicine’ and frequently recommend herbs to you? Well, there are certain plants that are dangerous, especially at this time of the year. Not all plants are medicine! Holiday plants are sometimes poisonous. Many poisonings happen during travel because some people don’t realize that holiday plants are dangerous and they decorate with them. Then you show up with your baby, or your pet and something happens. Here are tips to stay safe: Christmas trees. If you love the scent of a beautiful living Christmas tree, I recommend you feed it with plain water. Commercial preservatives are not necessary. Most brands induce stomach upset and vomiting to children and pets who crawl around the floor and take a sip of the water in the Christmas tree stand. Some commercial tree preservatives (or home-made versions) contain anything from harmless ingredients like corn syrup or soda to more dangerous ingredients such as bleach, whiskey or aspirin. Holly Berries. Branches of the holly tree (often called “boughs” of holly) are beautiful holiday decorations and frequently used to add color to mantles, table settings and even food! Be careful with this one because the berries are poisonous to both humans and animals. If you accidentally ingest the berries, it can cause local irritation in your mouth as well as severe diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration and weakness. There have been fatalities.
Keep holly boughs up and away from children and beloved pets or alternatively, buy silk or plastic versions of holly for your home decor. If you insist on fresh holly boughs, you should remove the red berries before placing it if you have little visitors coming, or pets. Here’s why that’s a smart move: When the holly dries out in your home, which is pretty quickly, the berries fall off the plant and become a danger to children and pets. Poinsettia. The poinsettia plant blooms with those stunning big red flowers! It also has varieties that bloom in white and cream. This plant is often considered deadly but it’s not usually fatal if eaten. The poinsettia sap in the leaves and flowers can be irritating if children and pets chew on it, especially because it causes a painful mouth, lip or skin rash. If swallowed it will also cause cramps and stomach upset. But it doesn’t kill. Mistletoe. The kissing sprig. If you pass beneath the mistletoe, you can get one planted on you! It’s a well-known holiday tradition and symbol of love! American mistletoe (Phoradendron serotinum) is different and safer, compared to its European cousin known botanically as Viscum album. In a study examining 1,754 American mistletoe poisonings, almost all the cases were children (92% of exposures) and they were all cases from chewing and swallowing the plant. There were no fatalities. So again, American mistletoe is not toxic like European mistletoe, but here in the states, it’s come down to guilt by association. I do not recommend eating or consuming any part of the plant, however smooches are perfectly fine!

Sen. Singer Named Board Of Health Member Of The Year
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Senator Robert W. Singer was recently recognized for his extensive volunteer service to public health with the 2019 Local Board of Health Member of the Year award. Senator Singer has served Ocean County as a member of the Ocean County Board of Health for 37 years. He still serves as Vice
Chairman. The Senator was awarded this title by the New Jersey Local Boards of Health Association (NJLBHA). “For me there is no one more deserving of this award than Senator Singer. I know very few people who are more dedicated and passionate when it comes to the health and welfare of the residents we serve here in Ocean County and, of course, around the state
as well,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. Over the last four decades, Sen. Singer has initiated and supported countless important programs and services provided by the Ocean County Health Department. For example, he was a strong proponent for offering dental services to eligible residents at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC).
He also supported the emergency response efforts to ensure important resources were available for the agency during Superstorm Sandy. Singer has also proven to be a passionate advocate for animal welfare and promoting the agency shelter adoption and volunteer programs. “There is absolutely no doubt Senator Singer’s experience and leadership helped shape the Ocean County Health Department to what it is today,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “As freeholder liaison, I’ve witnessed firsthand for years the many ways the Senator - all on his own time - has worked diligently to protect the public’s health and safety. It’s his understanding of the diverse local health issues that has helped him advocate for so many of these issues in the legislature and statewide.” During his 32 years in the New Jersey State Legislature, Senator Singer has served on the Senate Health Committee and is the senior ranking member of the Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee. Today, Singer is facing down the vaping crisis by supporting the regulation of the sale of e-cigarettes by currently co-sponsoring Senate Bills. “The e-cigarette and vaping issue is a perfect example of Senator Singer recognizing early on that this crisis had to be met head on,” said Regenye. “He and the rest of our board backed our initiatives and programs and to ensure we had the resources available to follow through.”

Dear Joel, My husband and I will be hosting out of town friends and their dog for a fiveday visit in the coming weeks. We love having them stay with us, but we’re not so crazy about their dog. Last time they visited, the dog had multiple accidents, staining both our carpet and furniture, chewed the dining room table leg, and terrorized our senior dog. They won’t travel without their pooch, so how can we tell them that he’s not welcome without destroying our friendship? Answer: Many of us consider our pets to be family, so to be told a family member isn’t welcome could put a strain on your friendship. I would use your dog as the ‘excuse’ and let them know that their dog will have to be confi ned to

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Visit The Lakehurst Historical Society
LAKEHURST – The Borough of Lakehurst Historical Society maintains a collection of historical artifacts, books, pictures, and documents which provide a record of a rich history and which help to educate those who wish to learn about a sometimes unknown part of local lore. Charred remnants of the dirigible Hindenburg, which crashed here in 1937, and items from the Navy’s rigid airship program are always popular items to see when one visits the Society’s Museum. The Museum is located at 300 Center Street, in the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Ocean County, Old St. John’s Church. The Church was built in 1874 by Irish Railroad workers. Old Church items are on display and are quite beautiful to see. An old cemetery surrounds the museum. The Museum opened in July, 1993 with nearly 1,000 people on hand. People from many states and several foreign countries have come to view the items on display. It
is managed by all volunteer workers. The Museum also contains an old jail cell, fi re department memorabilia, items and furnishings from the Pine Tree Inn, a 19th century music box, original paintings, and many other items relating to Lakehurst’s past as a winter resort, early industrial community, and as the “Airship Capital of the World”. A small research area and library are also available to help people begin their journey through local history. A beautiful Christmas display of old toys, as well as a number of seasonal and changing displays make the Museum a special place to return to several times a year. The Museum is open on Wednesdays and Sundays from noon until 3 p.m. Special tours and small groups can be accommodated with prior notice. For more information contact us at: Lakehurst Historical Society Museum, 300 Center Street, Lakehurst, New Jersey 08733 or 732-657-8864.

Ocean County Historical Society And Ocean County Society of Model Railroaders Celebrate The Holidays
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY - Santa Claus brushed up on some Ocean County history during his December 7-8 visit to the Ocean County Historical Society. During his visit he greeted children from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on both days enjoying the Victorian era museum now decorated for the holidays and located in downtown Toms River at 26 Hadley Ave. During that weekend the museum also hosted a miniature train show during the afternoon. Train sets took up the lower floor of the museum and children and adults stopped by to see the various sets which included a Thomas the the Tank Engine train model and one miniature village which had Batman and Robin parked in the Batmobile near the tracks. The trains sets were provided by members of the Ocean County Society of Model Railroaders who will be running their own
Christmas themed train show from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday December 28 and Sunday December 29 at 502 Country Club Rd., Pine Park/Kuser Hall, Lakewood. The show is free though donations are appreciated. For further information call 732-363-7799. The show will feature holiday themed trains such as the Nutcracker train, Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer and the Polar Express. The Thomas the Tank Engine will be making an appearance there as well. The Ocean County Historical Society is already planning ahead for the new year with their first event at 2 p.m. on January 19, 2020. Author Rick Geffken will be the guest speaker and will discuss the roots of Ocean County through the hidden history of Monmouth County.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: By: Matthew Johnson, DPT
WHAT IS IT? There are many different conditions that can cause neck, arm, or hand pain including cervical disc disorders, or rotator cuff injuries. One condition that is often overlooked is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is defined as blood vessels or nerves that become compressed in your neck in an area between the collarbone and first rib. Compression of the nerve roots in your cervical and thoracic spine can happen as they pass through this area if it is too narrow. Narrowing of the thoracic outlet can occur due to poor posture, tight neck muscles, an injury to the neck, or repetitive overhead motions. Nerves and blood vessels travel through the thoracic outlet and exit underneath the chest muscles where they then travel down the arm. If compression occurs, patients will typically report pain, numbness, or tingling in the neck or upper extremity with reaching and sustained overhead use of the hands or arms.
TYPES OF THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME: There are two types of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, vascular and neurological. Vascular TOS occurs when the blood vessels, arteries, or veins are compressed in the neck and shoulder region causing decreased blood flow to the hands and arms typically with the arm in an elevated position leading to numbness and weakness in the hand. Similarly, neurological TOS occurs when the nerves of your lower cervical spine and upper thoracic spine are compressed in the same region (see figure 1). This is a more common diagnosis affecting 8590% of all TOS patients. Neurogenic TOS can cause symptoms such as tension in the neck and upper back, head aches, muscle spasms, pain, and numbness & tingling sensations that can radiate down to the hand and fingers. Figure 1:
HOW DOES IT HAPPEN? When nerves leave your vertebrae, they are grouped together in a cord that is referred to as the brachial plexus (see figure 2). This cord runs through a triangular space between the scalene muscles in the
neck and then down towards the armpit. When the nerves travel down to the armpit, they run underneath the chest muscles and then divide into different branches. The nerve branches then travel down the arm to the hand and fingers. If these neck or chest muscles become tight, the nerves that run through them can also become compressed leading to symptoms when reaching overhead. Figure 2:
WHO IS AT RISK? Neurological Thoracic outlet syndrome is common in people who perform repetitive tasks, such as desk workers, hair stylists, painters, mechanics, swimmers, pitchers, and weight lifters to name a few. It is most frequent between 20-40 years of age with more than half of cases being women. Neurological TOS can also occur as a result of trauma to the head, neck, or upper extremity such as with a fall or motor vehicle accident. Certain activities can also bring about symptoms of pain in the neck or upper extremity.
presence of muscle spasms, tenderness, or reproduction of symptoms. - Test your upper extremity strength
HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? A specific exercise program can be designed for you to stretch and strengthen the muscles in your neck, shoulders, chest and back to help restore normal posture and alleviate your symptoms. Special techniques performed by your physical therapist can help decrease the nerve tension in your neck, shoulder and arm and relieve compression by increasing the space of the area the nerves run through. Your therapist will also help teach you proper mechanics when reaching overhead to prevent the pain from reoccuring. Your physical therapist may also use modalities such as moist heat, ice, electrical stimulation, massage and other techniques to relief pain. At All-Care Physical Therapy we have Therapists that specialize in a identifying the cause of your neck and shoulder pain to help you on your road to recovery.

• Prolonged typing or work on computers • Reaching for objects overhead • Driving
I THINK I MAY HAVE THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME, WHAT SHOULD I DO? If you are experiencing neck, shoulder, or arm pain please visit your Doctor. Your Doctor or physical therapist will perform different tests and measures to determine the specific cause of your symptoms. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is considered a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning your doctor or physical therapist will rule out other possible causes of your symptoms including cervical disc disorders or rotator cuff injuries. During an initial evaluation one of our Physical Therapist’s will: - observe your head and shoulder posture - examine the range of motion in your neck, shoulder and arm - assess the tension of the nerves in your upper extremity - palpate neck and upper back muscle to determine the

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of dec 21 - dec 27 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week ahead, you may find it easier than usual to promote romantic moments when alone with a loved one, or to be friendly while in a group setting. Avoid making large or unusual investments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might think the world is your oyster, and so believe that it must be easy to find a pearl. Social activities could keep you hopping. Focus on travel plans or educational opportunities this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It is likely that most people’s thoughts, including yours, are centered on being more considerate. In the week ahead, some fantasies might have you floating on cloud nine, even when you should be earthbound. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sometimes it’s better to start from scratch. It may be necessary to throw away something that doesn’t work. Review or study a relevant subject this week so that you can become more proficient at your job. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be mentally prepared, as there could be some mix-ups with your bank account or paycheck that require your forbearance in the upcoming week. Some new workplace projects might begin to make more sense. Count your change. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It may be time to tear up the old story and draft a new copy. In the week ahead you may be able to tackle ideas as well as relationships from a totally different and more satisfying
perspective. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be preoccupied by daydreams or romantic yearnings in the week ahead until harsh reality wakes you up. Be sure to schedule specific times to attend to your duties. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Learning to adapt to new procedures and follow trending subjects might be a priority in the week to come. It may be challenging to shift mental gears from serious issues to lighthearted social exchanges, but it’s manageable. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Friends may encourage you to test their pet business theories, leaving you with regrets about overcommitting your time or overextending your reach. In the upcoming week you must rely on your own sound judgement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Making business decisions may fall to the wayside as more pressing questions rivet your attention. You may want to ask yourself what makes the most perfect gift for a loved one as this week skitters by. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This might be a favorable time to buy something that has some glitz and glamor, but not a good day to focus on buying ultra-sensible gifts. Choose items that spark joy in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your sixth sense will alert you when it’s time to turn on the charm or when it’s better to evade an issue. You may not be able to argue with logic in the week to come, but your intuitions are on target.

Latkes Are Delightful Dish All Year By Wolfgang Puck Anyone who has dined in one of my restaurants, read one of my books or articles, seen me on TV, or cooked or eaten with me personally knows that I think of the whole world as my pantry. I love discovering ingredients and ways of cooking them that are new to me, and then mastering and sharing them with others. In the process, I’ll often combine influences from various countries and ethnicities into one dish, creating original recipes in a process sometimes referred to by the contemporary term of “fusion” cuisine, which came into use in the 1970s. (Even though you could argue that fusion has happened throughout history, whenever food lovers have traveled and brought their discoveries home with them.) But since that culinary term was first coined some four decades ago, maybe we have finally moved beyond fusion today. While national and ethnic cuisines will always remain sources of genuine pride for the places and peoples they spring from, and be cooked and served in homes and restaurants where authenticity matters, more and more people love to eat fusion-style in their daily lives. All-American breakfast followed by Japanese ramen for lunch and pizza or Mexican for dinner. And maybe that breakfast includes grilled Italian sausage; sliced fresh jalapeños garnish the ramen; and crème fraiche and smoked salmon top the pizza, as they do in one of the most popular items from my menu at Spago.

You could say that today ethnic cuisines once considered to belong to a specific group of people now belong to everyone. And our lives are richer for that shared culinary heritage. In that spirit, I would like to share one of my alltime favorite ethnic recipes: Jewish potato latkes, traditionally served at Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights that begins Dec. 22 and continues for seven more nights. Because Hanukkah commemorates a miracle in which one night’s supply of oil kept the eternal light burning for eight nights in the rededicated Second Temple in Jerusalem, dishes fried in oil - like these crispy potato pancakes - feature prominently on holiday menus. The wonderful thing about latkes, however, is they’re perfect for other occasions and other family traditions and are endlessly adaptable as well. Make a big batch to serve with your roast at the Christmas table. Or prepare little bite-sized latkes and top them with small slices of smoked salmon or other smoked fish such as sturgeon, whitefish, or trout, or some salmon or sturgeon caviar to make the most elegant Champagne-friendly appetizer for your New Year’s party. Keep on making them, as I like to do, for a reliably delicious potato side dish all year long. I wish you happy holidays. May you enjoy the
bounty of an ever-expanding global pantry. POTATO LATKES Serves 12 8 medium-sized baking potatoes 1 medium-sized yellow onion 1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder Pinch freshly grated nutmeg Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 cup (250 ml) milk 1 large egg, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter Peanut oil, for frying Watercress sprigs, for garnish Applesauce, for serving Sour cream or crème fraiche, for serving With a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, peel the potatoes. With a sharp knife, peel the onion and cut it in half. With the large shredding holes of a hand-held grater/ shredder, or with the large-hole shredding disc of a food processor, cut the potatoes and onions into shreds, transferring the shreds to a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice and toss thoroughly to coat the shreds and prevent discoloration. By handfuls, pick up the shredded mixture and squeeze it over the sink, transferring the squeezed shreds to a large clean mixing bowl. Set aside. In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. In a smaller bowl, stir together the milk and egg. Add the milk-egg mixture to the flour mixture, and then pour into the bowl of shredded potatoes and onion. Stir until thoroughly combined, drizzling in the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted butter as you stir. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Line another baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in enough peanut oil to form a thin, even layer in the pan. With a large spoon, scoop up some of the potato mixture and form round pancakes, large or small as you like, in the pan, taking care not overcrowd the pan. Fry the pancakes until deep golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning them once. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain briefly on both sides. Meanwhile, start cooking another batch of pancakes. While they cook, transfer the cooked pancakes to the foil- or parchment-lined sheet and put in the oven to keep them warm. Continue frying, draining and warming the remaining pancakes. When all the potato pancakes are done, arrange the pancakes on a serving platter, garnish with the sprigs and serve with applesauce and sour cream or crème fraiche.
