Lakehurst School Granted Emergency Aid
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEHURST – By now, we are all beginning to feel the effects of S-2 on local school districts. S-2 was a bill that changed how much funding many schools received from the state. Following several recent trips to Trenton and numerous pleas for more school funding from local districts, one Ocean County town has finally been heard. The Lakehurst Borough School District recently announced that they would be receiving over $650,000 in emergency aid to supplement the district’s current school budget. The great news was announced to parents in a letter from Superintendent Loren B. Fuhring.

–Photos Provided by Ocean County Animal Facilities Southern Shelter Hazel, Sadie, and Harley were taken from the Peters home. Some of the Peters’ dogs have found new families. By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Residents seeking better care for animals have been vocal in the last several months about the need for new laws and more transparency in animal abuse cases. In late November, a vigil for three dogs that died after being left abandoned in a Lac-
ey Township residence drew more than 50 people to Lacey’s Gille Park. Those present called for stricter laws pertaining to cases of animal cruelty and neglect. Another vigil was held on December 6, in front of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office recalling the incident of a trapped raccoon that was clubbed to death by teen-
agers in December 2018. Those at that vigil wanted to learn more from the Prosecutor’s Office about what punishment was issued to the two youths involved. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said that due to existing law and the fact that those responsible were juveniles, his office was not at liberty
to provide details on that case. Manahawkin resident Kathleen Ruskin is a volunteer at the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and is providing a voice for animals. She feels that some of them could find new homes if not for a current law that allows for those accused of (Dogs - See Page 11)
American Legion Makes History
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – When George Potter Vanderveer served in “the war to end all wars,” he probably didn’t realize how historic his sacrifice would be. Vanderveer, from Bayville, was the first from Ocean County to die in World War I. He served with Company E of the 24th Engineer Corps. He passed away at 19 years of age on Aug. 4, 1918, at Fort
Porter in New York. He had been suffering from “shell shock and gas.” According to the New Jersey Courier: “He was thought to be improving nicely when acute articular rheumatism set in.” He had even told his father, while on his hospital bed, that he wanted to get back to France to continue serving. One hundred years later, he still is serving, in (History - See Page 9)
Freeholders: Fiscal Stability In 2020
By Bob Vosseller TOMS R I V ER – Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari returned to a very familiar role, that of director of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Vicari previously served 11 times as Director of the Board, most recently in 2017. He was chosen among his peers to serve as director in 2020. He is the longest serving Freeholder in New Jersey, having first been elected in 1981 and previously served as mayor of Dover (now Toms River) Township five times. He is a retired
school superintendent. “It’s a privilege to be selected by my fellow freeholders to lead the board in the New Year,” Vicari said. Gar y Quin n, the newest member of the board, having been elected in 2018, will serve as deputy director. Quinn previously served on the Lacey Committee for 15 years and also served as the township’s mayor for several years. He is the director of both the Human Services and Transpor tation Departments and the liaison to the Ocean (Fiscal - See Page 4)

Vicari serves as Chairman of the Office of Senior Services and the Department of Consumer Affairs. He is also liaison to the Ocean County Vocational-Technical Schools and the Department of Tourism and Business Development. Among his priorities for 2020 include continuation of affordable government, Vicari said. “Ocean County has the fourth-lowest county tax rate in the state. I can promise our residents that there will

However, Congressman Chris Smith was a congressman in 1979 and he is now the senior member of congress in the state of New Jersey. I am serving my tenth term on the Board of Chosen Freeholders,” Kelly said. Kelly who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Finance said, “I assure you this year’s budget taxes will not go up and I believe they will again go down.” Freeholder Gerry P. Little was among those who gave praise to former Freeholder and Ocean County Republican Party leader Joseph Buckelew and noted that Ocean County has the largest parks system, road system and library system in the state. “We also have the largest public health agency in the state.” Quinn and Haines both commended Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy who was sworn in for a new term of office in a separate swearing in ceremony earlier in the day. Kim told the members of the board, “I have faith in the people of Ocean County and the five of you.” “It is a pleasure to work with you. You have great senses of humor you get the job done and you are great lawmakers for the county,” Smith said of the Freeholder board. Buckelew said “if the rest of New Jersey modeled Ocean County it would be a better state. I am proud of you all.”

holder Director Vicari and the other members of the board in maintaining our AAA bond rating,” Quinn said. A good bond rating, like AAA, allows the county to borrow money at a lower rate. “Affordability and outstanding services have long been priorities of this Board of Freeholders and will continue to be in 2020.” Before Vicari and Quinn fl ipped their nameplates to show their new titles, Congressman Chris Smith administered the oath of office to Freeholder Virginia E. “Ginny” Haines who was sworn in for her second three-year term. She had served as the board’s director in 2019. She was appointed to the Board on January 27, 2016 to fi ll the seat left vacant by Freeholder James F. Lacey. Haines, who serves as chairwoman to the department of Parks and Recreation and the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee, noted “there are 600,000 people who live in Ocean County. As we get to the business of county government I am sure 2020 will have its share of challenges what year doesn’t but I know each year brings new opportunities.” In a moment of levity, Freeholder Kelly thanked 3rd District Democrat Congressman Andy Kim for attending the meeting among the many Ocean County dignitaries present, saying, “listen to Van Drew” in reference to Rep. Jefferson H. Van Drew who was the Democratic nominee in New Jersey’s 2nd congressional district in the 2018 election and who on December

be no surprises when the county budget is introduced later this year.” Stressing education as another priority, Vicari said the opening of the new vocational school Performing Arts Academy at Ocean County College will be a highlight of 2020. “The new state-of-the-art facility will allow students to complete a two-year college degree while still in high school.” Another issue that will carry through to 2020 includes “fighting for senior citizens and opposing both federal and state cuts to senior programs,” Vicari said. “Washington D.C. and Trenton cannot balance their budgets on the backs of our seniors. It has to stop.” Vicari said he also looks forward to working closely with Quinn. “I look forward to serving with Free-

History:
Continued From Page 1 a way. The American Legion as a national institution is 100 years old. The local branch, Post 129, started the same year, in 1919. Past president Bob Scheiderman gave a tour to JerseyShoreOnline recently. According to the post’s own history, it all started back in September of 1919. U.S. Army Lt. Clifford R. Powell travels through Toms River and “stirs up the boys” just back from the war to start up the post. On Oct. 21 of that year, a group of about two dozen veterans assembled to create the post. Victory discharge buttons were given to those who presented discharge certificates. Leadership was elected that day, and they met at a restaurant/inn called the “Ocean House,” located at the northwest corner of Main and Water streets. Also on that day, the Legion was invited by the Toms River Fire Company to participate in their Armistice Day Parade on Nov. 11. After the parade, the fire company gifted the post with a flag mounted on a ten foot oak staff. This staff is still on display in the hall. As to a permanent residence, that would come later. They acquired property from Deloro Potter on Main Street (Route 9 today). Later, in 1924, the town bought a strip of land from them to build a road to the school. The Legion required that the road be called Legion Court, and it still has that name today. In the 1990s, the post had outgrown the property and purchased the current spot at 2025 Church Road. The building hosts events, has a bar with table seating, and conducts Legion business. It also stores historic artifacts, such as a
The Manchester Times, January 11, 2020, Page 9 photograph taken of Vanderveer at boot camp. It was given to the Legion by his mother, and the photo still hangs in the hall. It’s not just Legion history, but American history. There are artifacts like a 48-star American flag that had been carried by a soldier. A piece of the Pentagon from the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. As a museum of sorts, the building winds up housing some unusual pieces that come in from soldiers and their families. Scheiderman described finding three letters written in French from boy named Jean Pirlot. He had written them in 1921, and Scheiderman found the letters in the archives in 1990. They learned that the post had “adopted” a child who had been orphaned by the first World War. By “adopting,” they sent a sum of money to care for Jean. His father, a schoolteacher, was killed in the war. Two friends of the post stepped in to help. Colette Fishman translated the letters. Gabe Benedict, who retired as a journalist and spent the last 12 years in Paris, wrote to the mayor of Paris to try to find Mr. Pirlot. Unfortunately, the answer was not a good one. “I regret to inform you that Mr. Jean Pirlot passed away while being deported to Germany on 24, March 1945.” His widow and his sister had just recently passed. The Legion has a hand in anything that can help veterans, Scheiderman said. On the grand scale, it’s advocating for rights and laws that help veterans. On the small scale, it’s making sure local vets have what they need. You don’t have to be a resident of Toms River to be a member of the Toms River post, and there are other posts in the area. In all likelihood, the post will continue for another hundred years because every war makes more veterans and history doesn’t ever stop.

Continued From Page 1 “As you are aware, the 2018-2019 school year left us in a significant shortfall due to the environmental remediation and asbestos removal that was necessary when removing carpets and completing a substantial deep cleaning of the entire building,” stated Fuhring in the letter. Following an especially humid summer,
the Lakehurst Elementary School was closed down for the first half of the school year for mold remediation, sending students to neighboring Manchester schools. It wasn’t until Jan. 7, 2019 that the mold issues had finally been solved and Lakehurst Elementary was reopened to students for the 2018-2019 school year. Through constant contact with state and county officials, Lakehurst administrators were encouraged to seek out loans, assis-
tance from the township, and/or enter into a lease purchase agreement. In June 2019, the district concluded the fiscal year with a deficit. In August 2019, state officials notified all districts that applications for emergency aid would be available to be awarded on a grant basis, according to Fuhring. Some school districts, such as Brick, were denied their request for emergency aid altogether. Others, like Toms River, were

only given a portion of what they requested. Lakehurst announced in December that they were given nearly all of what they had asked for from the Department of Education. “Currently, the Lakehurst School District cannot be more pleased to announce that we are in receipt of the majority of the funds requested. The state provided us with a substantial grant in the amount of $651,122.00 to assist in balancing the current budget,” stated Fuhring in the letter. “However, it is important to note that these funds will greatly assist, however will not “fix” the budget in its entirety, as unbudgeted special education and transportation costs have challenged the district.” While this additional funding is a relief to the district in the midst of major cuts, it does not mean that Lakehurst schools are exempt or saved from further funding cuts due to S-2 in the future. “The board of education and the district will continue to evaluate the needs of the district and make financial decisions accordingly,” she added.

Dogs:
Continued From Page 1 animal neglect to retain ownership of their animals. They keep ownership even in cases where they have violated local laws that restrict the number of dogs in a household unless it is a kennel or shelter. One recent example of this scenario involved Luke Peters, 49, and his wife Allison Peters, 42, of Bay ville who were charged with 24 counts of animal neglect after a complaint led police to their Berkeley home on October 11. Inside, officers found 24 dogs living in deplorable conditions. The dogs were safely transported to the Southern Ocean County Shelter where they received medical care. Berkeley Township Animal Control responded to the scene where the homeowners voluntarily surrendered their dogs due to the unsafe living conditions. Neighbors were concerned about the possibility of neglect and alerted police which led to the Peters’ arrest. The couple faced a municipal judge on December 11 and the dogs were released to the shelter. The 24 dogs, who range in age and breed from a Pomeranian puppy to an older, larger, St. Bernard, were previously taken care of at the Northern (Jackson) and Southern (Manahawkin) Ocean County Animal Shelters. The Ocean County Animal Facility which oversees the two shelters falls under the authority of the Ocean County Health Department. Jackson Animal Facility Manager Mary Alano said that while she could not speak in regards to any specific pending court case that county fees from a case involving sheltering animals are presented at the time the case is heard in court. Ruskin was glad that the dogs could now be adopted and she wants to bring awareness to what happens to animals after they are seized by Animal Control officers. “The best-case scenario is when the offenders immediately relinquish their rights to the dogs and the shelter begins the process of treating them medically, assessing them behaviorally and preparing them for adoption. The worst-case scenario is when the offenders do not release the dogs to the shelter and the dogs remain in limbo while the case winds its way slowly through the legal system,” Ruskin said. Ruskin said in the Berkeley case it was costing the county around $340 a day to house and feed the dogs and that figure grew to around $20,000 which is a cost being picked up by Ocean County residents. The Peters may now have to reimburse the county. “As long as the offenders refuse to give up their animals, the shelter is powerless to prepare them for the chance at a loving, caring home. In truth, they are held hostage,” Ruskin said. “We are fortunate in Ocean County to have not one but two county shelters whose staff has stepped up many times to care for seized dogs that are caught
The Manchester Times, January 11, 2020, Page 11 in this state of limbo. The shelter staff and volunteers do an outstanding job of caring for these neglected and abused animals; however, no shelter is designed to be any animal’s permanent address. No shelter is a home and no shelter can mirror the individual attention, care and love provided in a home,” Ruskin said. Ruskin noted that “some dogs linger at the shelter for months waiting for their offenders to release them. Most of the time, these dogs are very adoptable and would be adopted in no time if only their offenders would let them go. Young puppies who should be growing and developing in a home that provides them with proper training and socialization are deprived of all that a young puppy needs.” “Large dogs of any age are confined to a kennel that cannot possibly meet their needs for exercise and mental stimulation despite the daily efforts of staff and volunteers. The staff and volunteers are doing the best they can within the shelter environment,” Ruskin added. “Offenders do not seem to recognize the harm they are doing by holding these animals’ hostage. Perhaps they loved the dogs at one time and if they did, they need to love them enough to let them go. They need to release them and give them a chance to be loved by someone else. These dogs are victims and they deserve better,” Ruskin said. There are two bills currently pending before the state legislature that if passed could change the way such situations are handled in the future. NJ A-781 establishes a process for recovering the cost of care of animals involved in animal cr uelty violations while NJ A- 4840, called Desmond’s Bill, provides for an advocate in criminal cases involving the welfare of a cat or dog. “I believe that we need to raise public awareness of the plight of all dogs that find themselves victims of people who have let them down not once but twice,” Ruskin said. As for the dogs seized during the raid on the Peters’ home, two were recently adopted while the remaining dogs are scheduled for spay/neuter su rger ies and will be put up for adoption shortly thereafter. A few already have families waiting for them.

Elbow Up
For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.
Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Lettuce Alternatives By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
At this point, you should probably just throw out all your lettuce. It doesn’t matter if it came from Salinas, California because other states may be involved now. There have been over 100 reported cases across 23 states at the time of this writing. There is an official recall. I’m not being an alarmist, Just the other day, we were told to trash those convenient bagged salad ‘kits’ because there are various types of lettuce in there, and some bags might have the contaminated E. coli leaves in it. The warning to consumers was about the brand called, Fresh Express Sunflower Crisp Chopped Salad Kits.” Just days after that urgent concern, the FDA has announced it is looking into several other E. coli outbreaks linked to lettuce grown from other states. There are multiple strains of pathogens and once infected, symptoms can show up between 1 day and a week later! One quick thing, if you are supported on warfarin or other anticoagulants, please be aware that all salad greens are high in Vitamin K (some more than others), so do not change your diet without your doctor’s approval and supervision. Here are some lettuce alternatives for those of you who wish to avoid Romaine and other lettuces: Rainbow or Swiss chard. These have broad green leaves attached to a bright crimson red stalk. The red in the leaves and stalk is due to the natural dye “betalain” which is used for liver health. If you’ve ever cooked chard, you know this shrinks to nothing! You can fill a
giant 16 quart pot with these, and by the time you’ve steamed it over five minutes, you’ll end up with a spoonful! I once bought 6 of these at once, and when I checked out at the supermarket, the cashier sarcastically asked me if I was going to eat all that myself. Without batting an eye, I quipped, “No I have a horse to feed!” Spinach. Like all leafy greens, spinach is high in fiber and promotes regularity. It contains oxalates, and it is very rich in potassium which regulates blood pressure. Radicchio. Radicchio is a small, round reddish-purple sphere and pairs well with greens in a salad. It’s way tastier than red cabbage. Add radicchio to your salad because it is high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K and other micronutrients. Mustard Greens. Taste this green before chopping it into your salad, because most people have to acquire the taste! I must be weird, I don’t mind eating it raw. If you lightly steam or Blanche it, you will reduce the bitterness. This popular plant gives us mustard seeds, which can be turned into one of our favorite condiments! Watercress. Very versatile and contains over 50 vitamins and minerals. Scientific data shows this can help prevent DNA cellular damage and in that regard, perhaps slow the development of cancer. Sometimes people worry about the goitrogenic effect on iodine absorption, and subsequent production of thyroid hormone, but I think a little watercress is just fine.

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Throughout the year, our reporters talk to a lot of people. And we listen. Some statements need to be highlighted because they have a lot of truth to them. Here are some quotes that bear repeating: When long-time administrator Dennis Filippone was retiring, he recalled some-
Best Quotes Of 2019
thing one of his mentors said to him. Legendary coach Warren H. Wolf, who would later pass away, had told him “Always look for the best in people, because the worst in them will find you.” “Filippone Retires After 4 Decades In Brick” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Jan. 12) Freeholder Jack Kelly described his new
responsibilities during the re-organization meeting in the beginning of the year after the passing of Freeholder John Bartlett. “In losing John Bartlett, we all had to take new assignments. The new assignment I got was as chairman of budget and management, which I thought was pretty good. I like that. But you know what I’ve come to find out? I made a whole lot of
new friends,” Kelly quipped. “Every department head now calls me Mr. Kelly. They didn’t even know who the hell I was just six months ago, now all know who I am, which is nice to see.” “Freeholders Reconvene For 2019, Remember Freeholder Bartlett” by Jennifer Peacock (Jan. 12) Preventing cyberbullying was an issue that parents had to take a lesson on. Detective David Brubaker of the High Tech Crimes Unit Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office presented an Internet Safety Forum at Brick Memorial High School. “Your kids are pack animals, and they always find the weak link, or the outsider.” “Parents Are The Front Line Of Internet Safety” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Feb. 2) “The problems of homelessness are much larger than just not having a home,” Toms River business administrator Don Guardian said in reference to services being offered to homeless people at the Code Blue temporary shelters. “Temporary Shelter To Save Homeless From Freezing Weather” by Chris Lundy (Jan. 12) “A business doesn’t last because of the product but because of the service,” Frank Gustafson said about the closing of his store, Jackson Hobby Shop, which lasted for 50 years. “Hobby Shop Closes After Half A Century” by Bob Vosseller (Jan. 26) Several key quotes came from issues of inequality. “We also celebrate the 90th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…we need to bear witness to his dreams and his hopes for this country, because they seem to have gotten lost somewhere along the way,” said Joan Marie Slater, former advisor for Manchester Schools. “When we got to the airport, we heard a rumor that there was a bomb on the airplane, so we got concerned and we all wrote out our wills,” Reisa Sweet said, remembering taking a f light to Selma, Alabama to take part in a march with Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. “Gospel Choir Sings Praise for 50 Years and Dr. King” By Kimberly Bosco (Jan. 26) “It is a very good website…for 1980s Russia,” Rina Yakubovsky joked, comparing some of the comments on a Facebook page to things she’s heard growing up in Russia. Her family moved here to get away from anti-Semitism. Moving to Jackson, she was mostly protected from that until recently. “Things were going pretty great for 30 years, then it was like déjà vu but not the good kind.” “Is everything perfect in their community? No. Is everything perfect in ours? No,” Toms River resident Judy Fuentes said about the differences between the Orthodox Jewish community and other communities. (Quotes - See Page 21)

Quotes:
Continued From Page 20 “Toms River Condemns Hate Websites” by Chris Lundy (March 9) Times are changing, and words that describe how the world around us is changing tend to hit home. “My mother always said she moved from the country to the city without leaving her house,” retiring zoning officer Sean Kinnevy said, describing how Brick changed over the decades. “Towns weren’t thinking about crime, traffic, overcrowding and pollution. There was nothing here. No water or sewer lines. There were dirt roads, and Brick had no police department or high school. We had general stores with post office boxes, diners and gas stations. We had all the problems of a city but none of the advantages.” Retiring Zoning Officer Looks Back On Brick’s Growth” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Feb. 9) “At any time, our buildings have at least one gun in it. Sometimes two. Sometimes three. It sounds harsh but it’s a reality,” Toms River Superintendent David Healy said about increases in school security. “Parents want to know ‘If someone comes in to hurt our kids, will there be someone there who can stop them with lethal force?’” “Schools Increased Security In Year Since Parkland” By Chris Lundy, Jennifer
The Manchester Times, January 11, 2020, Page 21 Peacock, and Kimberly Bosco (Feb. 26) Some quotes sum up just how bad something is, spurring people to help. “I went to check on my house damage from the fire and I saw Jackie (the renter) in the burnt out house after the fireman put the fire out,” said Keith Kirsch, who started a GoFundMe for a neighbor whose house was destroyed by fi re (gofundme.com/jacqueline-niederle). “She was sifting through the burnt rubble to find any personal belongings with a plastic beach shovel.” “Fundraiser To Help Holgate Fire Victim Back On Her Feet” by Kimberly Bosco (Feb. 16) Sometimes government gets in the way of doing business. Seyithan Tektas from Yesterdays and Todays Consignment complained about the state’s delay in fixing his road. “The town blames the state, the state blames the contractors but the contractors get paid no matter what.” “An ‘Early Spring’ Completion For Routes 166 and 37 Intersection?” By Chris Lundy (March 23) And fi nally, a quote that we can all relate to: “I don’t make a pig out of myself, but I do like my ice cream,” Marie T. Savignano said with a smile, describing her habits that helped her get to the age of 101. Toms River Woman Teaches “Intro To A Long Life 101” By Patricia A. Miller (Feb. 9)

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE NEW JERSEY – Anyone considering donating to a charity should research that charity before donating, the Federal Trade Commission said. These days, charities and fundraisers (groups that solicit funds on behalf of organizations) use the phone, face-to-face contact, email, the internet (including social networking sites), and mobile devices to solicit and obtain donations. Naturally, scammers use these same methods to take advantage of persons’ goodwill. Regardless of how they reach someone, avoid any charity or fundraiser that refuses to provide detailed information about its identity, mission, costs, and how the donation will be used; won’t provide proof that a contribution is tax deductible; uses a name that closely resembles that of a better-known, reputable organization; gives thanks for pledges that weren’t made; uses high-pressure tactics like trying a person to donate immediately, without giving that person time to think about it and do their research; asks for donations in cash or asks persons to wire money; offers to send a courier or overnight delivery service to collect the donation immediately; guarantees sweepstakes winnings in exchange for a
Advice Before Giving To A Charity contribution. By law, a person never has to give a donation to be eligible to win a sweepstakes. Donators should ask for detailed information about the charity, including name, address, and telephone number. They should get the exact name of the organization and do some research. Searching the name of the organization online — especially with the word “complaint(s)” or “scam”— is one way to learn about its reputation. Call the charity. Find out if the organization is aware of the solicitation and has authorized the use of its name. The organization’s development staff should be able to help. Find out if the charity or fundraiser must be registered in the state by contacting the National Association of State Charity Officials. Check if the charity is trustworthy by contacting the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, or GuideStar. And ask if the caller is a paid fundraiser. If so, ask the name of the charity they represent, the percentage of the donation that will go to the charity, how much will go to the actual cause to which you’re donating, and how much will go to the fundraiser. Donators should keep records of donations
and make an annual donation plan to stick with. Visit this Internal Revenue Service (IRS) webpage to find out which organizations are eligible to receive tax deductible contributions. Know the difference between “tax exempt” and “tax deductible.” Tax exempt means the organization doesn’t have to pay taxes. Tax deductible means donators can deduct their contribution on their federal income tax return. Never send cash donations. For security and tax purposes, it’s best to pay by check — made payable to the charity — or by credit card. Never wire money to someone claiming to be a charity. Scammers often request donations to be wired because wiring money is like sending cash: once sent, it can’t be gotten back. Do not provide a credit or check card number, bank account number or any personal information until the donator has thoroughly researched the charity. Be wary of charities that spring up too suddenly in response to current events and natural disasters. Even if they are legitimate, they probably don’t have the infrastructure to get the donations to the
affected area or people. If a donation request comes from a group claiming to help the community (for example, local police or firefighters), ask the local agency if they have heard of the group and are getting financial support. What about texting? The charge will show up on the mobile phone bill. If the donator has asked his mobile phone provider to block premium text messages — texts that cost extra — then he won’t be able to donate this way. The National Do Not Call Registry gives persons a way to reduce telemarketing calls, but it exempts charities and political groups. However, if a fundraiser is calling on behalf of a charity, persons may ask not to get any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If those calls continue, the fundraiser may be subject to a fine. Anyone who thinks they’ve been the victim of a charity scam or if a fundraiser has violated Do Not Call rules, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. These complaints can help detect patterns of wrong-doing and lead to investigations and prosecutions. Complaints can be filed at ftccomplaintassistant.gov.

President Trump To Hold Rally In South Jersey
By Jason Allentoff WILDWOOD – President Donald J. Tr ump will hold one of his popular campaign rallies in South Jersey later this month, according to his re-election campaign. A website has been launched where you can obtain free tickets to the event scheduled for Tuesday, January 28 at the Wildwoods Convention Center. U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, will travel with him on Air Force One for the event. It was in late December that Van Drew, a longtime Democrat, announced he was switching parties and joining the GOP. Van Drew was one of only two Democrats to vote against President Trump’s impeachment in the House of Representatives. He opted to switch parties the
next day which left many in his district scratching their heads. The last time a president came to south Jersey was when President Ronald Regan visited Hammonton in 1984. President Barack Obama came to the Jersey Shore after Superstorm Sandy where he was photographed with Governor Chris Christie. According to the website for the rally, you may only register up to two (2) tickets per mobile number per event and all tickets are subject to fi rst come fi rst serve basis. We have a link to obtain tickets on our website, jerseyshoreonline.com What do you think? Are you excited President Trump is coming to New Jersey? Will you attend? Tell us on our Facebook page!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 11 - jan 17
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): An abundance of physical energy and high spirits makes your popularity rise to new heights. Your efforts will be rewarded in the week ahead with admiration as well as a bigger bank balance or unexpected bonus. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be called upon to volunteer time to a worthy cause or participate in a public event. In the week ahead, you can expand your network of friends by joining groups that gather for a worthwhile purpose. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on being friendly and outgoing in the week ahead. Loved ones and friends have been tolerant of your occasional rants and raves in the past but may need you to become more open-minded and obliging. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Getting out and about is the best prescription for cabin fever. A trip to the newest market or even some online shopping may satisfy your wanderlust this week. A partner will appreciate any steps you take to save money. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can smile even when you are filled with grit and determination. In the week ahead you may become fixated on solving problems and fixing failures. You can easily switch gears to enjoy carefree time with loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thinking outside the box may be your specialty as this week begins. Putting your creative genius to practical use, however, may require a great deal more effort than anticipated. Ask for help and you’ll likely receive it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hang out with people who promote positivity. In the week
to come, you may meet people who inspire you to adjust your outlook on life in uplifting ways. You may feel more attractive or receive unexpected admiration. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Respect the rights of others who wish to act independently, and they will respect your rights in return. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to exchange affectionate sweet nothings with a romantic partner in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your enthusiasm, productivity and dedication to living up to your commitments could be more noticeable in the upcoming week. Keep a pen handy to jot down notes, as some of your ideas could be revolutionary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Brotherly love could bubble up from your heart and overpower a tendency to be businesslike. Speaking your mind on certain issues can win you friends if you exercise diplomacy, discretion and tact as this week unfolds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a decision before your plans are hijacked by someone else. In the coming week you can be more resolute and aggressive when faced with choices. Act in your own best interest without taking advantage of others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your ability to make money may improve during the week ahead if you tap into energetic impulses. Distribute free samples of your products or show generosity toward others to win favorable attention and spread goodwill.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fortify Yourself During Winter With This Easy Garlic Soup Recipe By Wolfgang Puck We all know that there are four astronomical seasons in the year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. But, in our daily lives, we divide up the year into so many more seasons: the holidays just past, New Year’s resolutions have just begun; it’s back-to-school season, tax season, vacation season, and on and on. And many of those specialized seasons overlap each other. Right now, we’re in a real seasonal pileup, as resolutions and cold and flu season come right on top of winter. With that in mind, I’d like to share a simple recipe to help you deal with all the many demands this time of year may bring: my Cream of Garlic Soup. First, consider your resolutions. You may have sworn that you’ll save some money this year by enjoying more home-cooked meals. This recipe will help you achieve that goal by producing delicious food from inexpensive ingredients - primarily garlic cloves and potatoes - in only about half an hour. The soup may also help you reach a weight-loss goal, because it’s a dish that satisfies the appetite by being sipped slowly, spoonful by spoonful. (And you can cut the fat and calories from the relatively small amount of cream, just 3 tablespoons per serving, by substituting buttermilk.) Cold and flu season brings its own stuffy, sniffling challenges. But garlic, an abundant ingredient in this recipe, has a long anecdotal history as a popular folk remedy for such illnesses. While medical researchers are still divided on whether or not garlic actually works to fight viruses and relieve congestion, some studies have found evidence that those who eat it regularly get ill less often and suffer less severe symptoms. And while I know the old joke about how someone who eats a lot of garlic can’t get close enough to other people to pass along germs, the garlic in this soup actually turns mild and sweet tasting thanks to blanching in boiling water as the first step in the recipe. Finally, there’s winter itself. To me, few foods chase away the chill of this season more effectively than a hot bowl of soup to start a meal. To help you get the most flavorful results, I’m also happy to share my simple recipe for super-quick rich chicken stock, which takes minutes to prepare and will help make store-bought stock or broth taste surprisingly close to homemade. Start with a good-quality product that’s lower in sodium. Simmer the stock while you’re prepping other ingredients for whatever recipe in which you’ll use it. In addition to the enhancements I list, you can also include leftover chicken bones, other vegetable trimmings or other mild fresh herbs. Here’s to a happy, thrifty, healthy, warming and flavorful bowlful! CREAM OF GARLIC SOUP Serves 6 For the soup: 2 cups (500 ml) peeled garlic cloves 1 large baking potato, about 3/4 pound (375 g),
peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 2 cups (500 mL) super-quick rich chicken stock (recipe follows) or good-quality canned chicken or vegetable stock or broth Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped chives (optional garnish) For the basil oil: 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh Italian parsley leaves 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil First, blanch the garlic: Put the garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain well. Return the garlic cloves to the pan, add the potatoes and stock, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to piece easily with a fork or sharp knife tip, about 20 minutes. Pour in the cream. Over medium heat, bring back to a gentle boil. Meanwhile, prepare the basil oil: Put the basil, parsley, and oil in a blender and blend until smoothly pureed. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer into a glass bowl; set aside. Rinse out the blender thoroughly. Working in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling, transfer the soup to the blender and blend until smoothly pureed, carefully following the manufacturer’s instruction to avoid spattering. Transfer the soup to a clean saucepan and gentle rewarm over low heat, adjusting the seasonings to taste. To serve, ladle the soup into heated bowls. Drizzle with a small spoonful of basil oil, refrigerating the remainder in an airtight container. You can also garnish with chopped chives, if you wish. SUPER-QUICK RICH CHICKEN STOCK Makes about 3 quarts (3 L) 3 quarts (3 L) low-sodium store-bought chicken stock or broth 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into chunks 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into chunks 1 medium celery stalk, trimmed and cut into chunks 1 sprig fresh thyme 1/2 bay leaf 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 1 medium leek, trimmed, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and cut into chunks In a small stockpot or large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming frequently. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 30 minutes. Strain before use.
