Utah Missionary Finds New Home in Livingston

On any given day, residents of Livingston may hear a knock on their door from Sister Jade Crosby. She is a native of Utah and a full-time missionary for The Church of Latter-Day Saints. Only twenty years old, Crosby has known since she was a child, she was called upon to help others. About eighteen months ago, she put in a request at her church in Utah to complete a yearlong service as a missionary wherever she was needed. To the benefit of Livingston and the nearby areas, she was assigned by her church to come here to New Jersey.

“I have always been influenced by my parents. They are very service oriented and have always been a huge influence on me,” says Crosby.

Crosby is motivated to help people in whatever areas of their life they need assistance. She states one of her main motives is to help people have a deeper relationship with their God. Though many outsiders may think this is only about helping people of the same faith, this is not accurate.

Crosby helps people in Livingston with anything she could be of service to. Whether it is helping an elderly couple rake leaves off their lawn or helping set up their cable television, she is dedicated to helping others. “I have found a lot of joy in helping people in the community,” says Crosby.

Though walking door to door greeting strangers can be full of rejection, she credits her deep faith in not letting a negative encounter break her spirit. “Most people will allow us to share a message and usually we will fulfill a need to strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ.”

Even if a Livingston resident is of a different religion, Crosby always greets people with love and understanding. She is open to speaking with others of all faiths, and seeing if she could assist in any way possible.

Crosby recalls the numerous positive encounters she has had with people of all religions, including the occasions she has broken bread with Rabbis and other religious leaders.

She even offers tutoring services in many different academic subjects to both students and adults and has a special interest in helping people trace their family trees. These services are all provided free to the community.

In addition, Crosby has traveled throughout the state volunteering at numerous food pantries. Locally, she has volunteered at Grace Food Pantry in Summit, New Jersey.

The young missionary will return to her home state shortly to study Nursing at Utah Valley University in the

fall. Crosby has a strong passion for healthcare and has used her skills as a certified nursing assistant to benefit the area as well. She sees nursing as a natural fit to help those who are ill.

She hopes to return to Livingston soon to volunteer in any way she can. According to Crosby, “I am so grateful for my service as a missionary, and all the wonderful people I have met through my service.”

She adds “the people here are some of the kindest souls that I’ve met. The interactions I’ve had with the residents of Livingston I will cherish forever. It’s truly a beautiful community.” Crosby also hopes to show her family one-day beautiful downtown Livingston as well as the nearby shore towns and New York City. “I want to show them where a little piece of my heart has been.”

She will return to her home church in Utah but will follow what is happening in New Jersey. She realizes if a need here arises, she will do what is necessary to add a hand. “My passion is caring for others,” she humbly says.

A Father’s Day Story: Of Dreams Stored in an Attic Trunk

It was in early June of 2004, that my dad decided to clean out the attic of the old Mabey Homestead. I remember it was a Saturday morning. The events that followed that very fateful day would allow me to see my beloved father, in an entirely different light. For my father had a secret dream, that for whatever reason, he had never even shared with Mom.

So, after breakfast, Dad and I climbed the 15 steps of the old Mabey Homestead, walked down the hallway to the attic door at the end of the hall. I placed the old wooden ladder, that my great grandfather had built, in place. Dad was first to begin the climb up the ladder. I followed.

When we got up to the attic floor, Dad pulled the string that hung in the middle of the attic. It was attached to a single, unshaded, 40-watt lightbulb.

“There that’s better,” I remember my dad saying as the light suddenly lit up the entire attic. Then Dad pointed to the old, wooden, vintage storage trunk that was located in the far, northwest corner of the attic. The trunk had belonged to my great grandmother, Catherine Cavanaugh. She used it to bring all her earthly possessions from Ireland to America, over a hundred years ago.

“I’ve been meaning to go through this

old trunk. Every time I would think about it, something would come up. I’m 76 years old now, I think it’s time I’d better clean it out,” Dad quietly and reflectively shared with me.

We walked over to the old, antique trunk. Dad opened it up. The hinges squeaked. There, within that trunk were stacks of yellowed, drawing paper. They were tied up by pieces of blue ribbon. Each tied stack had about 50 sheets of drawing paper, neatly stacked.

They were stacks of pencil drawings. Some were of trees and lakes and open fields. There was even a pencil sketch of the old Mabey Homestead. There were also sketches of Mabey Lane, Earl’s Meadow, the old apple tree, and the original old barn that once stood in the backyard of our homestead.

“I used to fiddle around with drawing stuff when I was a kid,” Dad told me. There was a certain sadness in my dear father’s eyes, as together, we looked at the old drawings. After I came home from the war, I did some more drawing. Then your uncle and I started our trucking company, I started dating your Mom. And well, I just gave up on the dream.”

There was such a melancholy sadness that prevailed in my father’s voice as he shared those reflective words with me. For the next few moments, Dad and I just looked

at the pencil sketches that he drew as a boy and as a young man. My heart cried for my father.

“Dad, these are good drawings. Really good drawings!” I exclaimed to my father.

“Thank Richie. Just the way life is, son. Not all your dreams come true,” Dad quietly said to me. My father fought hard to hold back his tears.

“Well, we better put these back. We got a lot of stuff up here to go through,” Dad reflectively told me.

I remember my father, took the blue ribbons. He tied up the bundles of pencil sketches. Then gently, with a degree of reverence, placed his drawings in the old trunk. Dad quietly closed the top of the his grandmother’s trunk.

“Well, us standing around this old trunk’s not going to get his attic cleaned out. Come on, Richie, we got a lot of work to do today.”

Dad and I did clean out the attic that fateful June day of 2004. When all the dust was swept from the floor beams of the attic, we climbed down the old wooden ladder. Oddly, Dad never talked about his pencil sketches ever again, in the two more years that God had been given to be alive.

My father was one of the hardest working individuals I have ever known. He worked as a long distance truck driver and would often

moonlight as a trucking dispatcher, to earn extra money. Dad served as Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 170 for 25 years. He was a devoted Christian man, a good father, and an endearing husband to my mom. Richard Mabey Jr. is a freelance writer. He has a YouTube Channel, titled “Richard Mabey Presents.” Richard most recently published a book of his poems and short stories, that is selling rather well. He can be reached at richardmabeyjr@hotmail.com.

Celebrate Juneteenth

In 2021, President Joseph Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, which established an official holiday to commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The act became law and the holiday was celebrated two days later.

As the United States prepares to celebrate its third official Juneteenth holiday, here is an in-depth look at what the day is all about.

Origins of Juneteenth National Independence Day

The origins of Juneteenth date back to June 19, 1865. Months after Confederate forces surrendered in the American Civil War, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally told they were free. Union soldiers arrived in Galveston and explained that slavery had been abolished and the war was over. This liberation actually took place more than two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Act, which freed enslaved people throughout the country.

Juneteenth began as a regional celebration that was observed locally each year before becoming a state holiday in Texas in 1980. Juneteenth was subsequently recognized as a holiday in a number of other states before President Biden officially made the day a federal holiday in 2021.

Juneteenth traditions

Due to federal law, federal businesses are closed for Juneteenth. Private businesses

may opt to close or remain open. Some may issue a floating holiday to those who would like to observe Juneteenth.

Celebrations vary across the country. Some states host parades, and families and friends may gather to play games and enjoy food and other fun. Public readings or church services relevant to the holiday also may be part of Juneteenth celebrations.

Juneteenth food traditions

Juneteenth has its own traditions, including some involving food. For example, many people enjoy a dish known as the Marcus Garvey salad. Marcus Garvey was a Black activist who sought to unify and connect people of African descent worldwide. The dish is made with red, green and black beans to symbolize the Pan-African flag. Additional Juneteenth foods are red, which is no accident. Before slavery was abolished, many slaves ate foods that were white, green or brown. Eating brightly colored red foods was a rarity and a cause for excitement. The color red also was associated with the cultures of people who used to be enslaved. Red beverages, sauce-covered barbecue, red velvet cake, and many other red foods and beverages are now served on Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is now celebrated across the United States and can serve as a catalyst for discussions about American history.

Maritime Museum Grows in Importance in 16th Year

On the southern tip of Long Beach Island sits a museum housing a huge collection of shipwreck files and artifacts almost unlike anywhere around.

On July 3rd, the New Jersey Museum of Maritime Museum will celebrate its sixteenth year showcasing rare stories only few may have known about at sea.

The collection, largely cultivated from New Jersey maritime historians, comes from pieces of shipwrecks and disasters pertaining to the state’s maritime history.

The idea for a museum came almost 25 years prior to its opening. Bob Yates and Deb Whitcraft, who serves as President of the Museum, possessed strong desires to learn about wrecks off New Jersey’s shores. Whitcraft was a collector. As her collection grew, she wondered if there might actually be a good place to put all of this stuff for others to learn about.

In 2007, dream became reality for the collector and the New Jersey Maritime Museum was born. There’s a rich history of shipwrecks and disasters inside. From a shipwreck database and map to a rare book library and lending library for readers wanting to know more. An Atlantic City exhibit, Women’s Surf Fishing Club exhibit

and a collection of New Jersey storm photos are all inside. You can even get married at the museum.

Presentations by those related to the maritime world are frequent, on a monthly basis, often taking place at Buckalew’s Restaurant & Tavern in Beach Haven.

Recent speakers in 2023 have included Gene Peterson a member of the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI), and founder of Atlantic Divers. His series was presented in two parts – the first concerning those of divers pursuing dreams of finding lost treasure amidst the rubble of sunken ships along the New Jersey coast. The second part was discussing those discoveries themselves and the friendships created as divers discovered china, clay pipers and other out-of-the-ordinary things sea-goers and many others found interesting.

In Summer, the Maritime Museum sees a big thrust of people, perhaps enjoying bigger visitation than in any other season of the year mainly since visitors flock to the Jersey shore to vacation.

The Museum is ready to educate students too offering a Marine Science Camp presented by New Logic Marine Biologists and Environmentalists. There are

several kindergarten through eighth grade classes beginning June 26 and two Teen camps the weeks of July 24 and Aug.7 from 9am to 2pm each weekday. Kids programs exist on Fridays from June 23 to Aug. 25 from 1030am to Noon offering educational activities for kids age 3 to 13.

So how does the state’s premier maritime museum exist on donations alone ? While fundraisers are held each Spring and Fall, the museum is a registered 501 (C)(3) non-profit and has a membership

program for the community with annual and lifetime options.

The community appears to have adopted the Maritime Museum with open arms While the museum simultaneously has upped its offerings between its walls at 528 Dock Rd in Beach Haven to meet the curiosities of all curious to learn more about New Jersey’s maritime history.

Glory Days: 1999 Governor Livingston High School Baseball

Former Governor Livingston High School Highlanders shortstop, Terence Reilly, has a special ritual.

“June 5, 1999,” Reilly says. “I remember the day. Chris Butler and I text each other every June 5th. It is one of the best days in our lives.”

Eric Cantagallo was a senior catcher, and his identical twin brother Mark was the second baseman. Cantagallo, when asked if he would go back to the date Reilly mentions, does not hesitate. “To have a pair of identical twins on a team, and for the two of us to share that experience together? When that ball was caught fall in left field for the final out and he comes running from second base and just jumps up in my arms and I am holding him up in the air - winning with the team is special, but nobody else on that team knows what it is like to win with your twin brother.”

Chris Roof, then 25 years old and assistant coach for the Highlanders, says, “It was an exciting time.” Roof had played for legendary, 400+ game winner Bill Howard, and now has 400 wins himself as the Governor Livingston head coach. “And we only had 11 guys on the team. That really stands out and tells you how really tight knit this group was. And Coach Howard was my hero.”

For Howard in his 20 years of coaching there had been sectional titles, but never an outright Group state title.

Then came the spring of 1999, and the killed rally against Gateway Regional. Final score, 4 – 2, and Howard and his Highlanders had a Group II title.

Howard recalls, “We got off to a very slow start. We were 2 – 3 or 2 – 4, and then we just ran off a whole string of wins. We won about 17 in a row. And what set that team apart from others is they just had a really close-knit relationship. The best way I would describe them is that they were baseball kids. They wanted to be there as much as I wanted to be there. I do not mean the finals, but just in general, the whole year.

Governor Livingston had defeated both Chatham and Hawthorne high schools to reach the title game at East Brunswick High School against Gateway Regional. A tworun homerun by Mark Hansen had given the Highlanders a slight edge, and a Reilly RBI double had given them a final, two-run cushion, but there were some key defensive plays.

“They created a bit of a rally, and there was a ball hit between left field and over my head,” Reilly says. “I knew the left fielder would not catch it, so I made a desperate, over the shoulder, juggling catch. I remember

The 1999 Group II state champion Governor Livingston Highlanders baseball team (credit: Chris Roof) as a sophomore I had missed an over the head catch in a game against Dayton, and I said to myself, ‘I am never going to do that again.”

Chris Butler, the leadoff hitter, also made a great catch in centerfield. “One of the vivid memories I have is towards the end of that game. It may have been the fifth or sixth inning. There were men on base for Gateway, and somebody hit a gapper between centerfield and right. It was a good

shot, and for whatever reason it was the best jump I had ever gotten on a ball. I was able to make the catch fairly routinely, but it was the jump that really was the key. If I did not get that jump, that could have been a double or triple.”

And then there was the rally killing missed squeeze bunt with the bases loaded in an earlier inning. In a prior game against Ridge High School, Gateway Regional had continued on page 10

executed a successful squeeze play and scored a winning run. Cantagallo had read about it, saw it coming again, and so did his batterymate. Gateway Regional was ahead, 2 –1, and were looking to add to their lead.

Cantagallo recalls, “When we felt like the other team was bunting, we would have Bobby Phillips throw sliders or curveballs. It was a 2 and 0 count if I remember correctly, and Bobby’s still the best varsity control pitcher I have ever seen.” Phillips threw a

curve, the batter fanned on the bunt, the runner charging to home plate from third Cantagallo tagged out, and then he fired the ball to third baseman Dan Bassiculo, who tossed the ball to Reilly who tagged out the runner between second and third base.

A few innings later, after the final out had sealed the Highlanders’ Group II title triumph, the entire team rushed and mobbed Phillips and hugged each other at the mound.

“Then it was just sheer joy,” Howard says.

Now Here’s A Tip

• Use a mesh bag to hold flowers in place in a vase. Just roll or wad it up and put it down in the bottom of the vase. When you are done with the flowers, you can use a stick to swish the bag around and loosen any gunk inside the vase when cleaning. Launder the mesh or just toss.

• When freezing leftovers, especially soup or stew, consider using zipper-closing bags. They can be filled and frozen flat, then stacked nicely. They take up much less room than standard containers.

• “To make a waterproof mattress protector in a pinch, slit a large garbage bag down the side and bottom, lay it flat over the mattress and cover with a beach towel.

Then put the sheet over that. The garbage bag protects the mattress; the towel makes it comfortable. “ -- U.D. in Tennessee

• “Keep extra liner bags in the bottom of the garbage can. They are handy, so you will be more likely to reline the can as soon as you take the garbage out.” -- K.P. in Massachusetts

• Keep a box of baking soda in the fridge. When it’s time to replace it, dump it down the drain and follow with a small bottle of vinegar and a hot water flush. Keep your kitchen smelling nice and use less chemicals to do it.

Livingston’s David Sisselman Reflects on Career in Commercial Video, Film, and Television Production

Film was a passion for David Sisselman since he was a kid.

“I had no question about what I wanted to do,” he said. “I made home videos. For school projects, every chance I got. I was making videos in grade school. I’d convince a teacher to let me make a video.”

Sisselman said he doesn’t know where he got his interest from, but he did come from a creative family. Some were musically inclined; some were into photography. And his mom was a stage actress most of her career, but she gave it up to have a family. “Hopefully that was worth it to her,” he said, in regard to himself and his sister.

He attributes most of his experience to Livingston High School, where he attended from 1996 to 2000. He said back then it was very unusual to have a television department in high school. “They were staffed by Jim Smith; he had industry experience.”

By the time Sisselman went to college, film wasn’t his main focus. He said, “I didn’t want to be a starving artist. Film is the most expensive art medium known to man. If you want to participate, you have to be able to self-finance.”

Sisselman graduated at Lehigh University with a B.A. in computer science and went into tech business. “Let me establish a non-artistic career first,” he said.

In 2005 Sisselman began Reach Universal, providing comprehensive media and technology layer for businesses. The company also provides commercial video services, as

well as film and television production services. Sisselman feels that his technology background played a large role in his line of work. “It’s a big advantage,” he said.

But the one thing that makes him want to run away from the field is the new stuff with Artificial Intelligence. “A.I. will replace the entire industry in almost every category,” he said. “I try not to think about it.”

To date, his most interesting project happened at the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic. “When the pandemic started, all temples and churches were trying to figure out how are they going to do services. Everyone was quarantined at home,” Sisselman said. “Temple B’nai Abraham [in Livingston] is a fairly large congregation. Most temples did a no frills live stream that was pretty bare bones. It’s hard to get the energy of the full service when no one is there. They had us produce twenty hours of services, done the right way with the right cameras…serious audio for music.”

Continuing, he explained, “We thought we’d get a more live-like experience if we treated it like a serious production, not just something live-streamed on Zoom. I was really excited, how one temple navigated the times and did it in style to give the full experience during a time people were looking for hope.”

When asked who he’s inspired by, Sisselman said, “My favorite director is Chris Nolan. He’s one of the last oldschool filmmakers. He’s had a remarkable career doing things that are artistically rich, but mainstream.”

Ewing, NJ born Washington Settles in at Action News Philadelphia

It’s been three months since Ewing-born Renee Washington started her role as a sports reporter at ABC’s Action News in Philadelphia, with a focus on youth sports all the way up to the pros. As she told her Twitter followers in February, “Philly has given me so much as a three-time all-American and Hall of Famer at LaSalle and at Lehigh as a coach and reporter with ESPN. As a Jersey girl, I’m thankful to join the incredibly talented team,” at 6ABC as a sports reporter and anchor.

By all accounts, Washington, a threetime Division I Soccer AllAmerican and two-sport Division I athlete, who’s been brainstorming, pitching and delivering sports packages on high school basketball games since February, is a perfect fir for covering the important local sports category of high school sports. She covered many high school basketball games including regional and state playoff runs by area teams, the Penn Relays and was a part of covering of the Sixers 2023 playoff experience aside from many other assignments.

Washington reports from experience as an athlete and coach. She made the 2014 NCAA Top 50 women’s athlete list as a senior at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, achieving a B.A. in Public Relations, before moving onto Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA to obtain her Master of Education in Educational Leadership. Washington was inducted into LaSalle’s Athletic Hall of Fame in February 2022.

She coached women’s soccer as a graduate student at Lehigh in 2014 and 2015 and become

involved in internships with their sports media department which pointed her in the direction of sports reporting as a career. As she told Lehigh University sports communication department in 2022, the origins of what she’s able to do at ABC Action News 6 started years ago, going back to Lehigh and even further.

“The inner athlete in me loves the excitement of being involved in games and having the chance to be apart of the action,” she told Lehigh in 2022. “I’m not on the field playing, but I can help paint a picture for viewers. I can give some insight into what’s going on on the bench, what the coaches are saying, what’s being said in the huddle, what the players are saying and feeling and giving people something extra they just don’t get from watching the game,” she again, told Lehigh in 2022.

The former New Jersey resident who graduated from Pennington High School in 2010 with outstanding accolades for soccer and basketball,

thought about becoming a pediatrician when she was in high school. Her care and devotion to others took a new route, away from the playing fields no less.

She founded a nonprofit organization called, “Planted Not Buried,” which empowers, inspires and educates people through workshops, classes and events hoping to cultivate positivity, growth and perseverance through volunteer gatherings and collaboration for folks of all backgrounds. Washington continues to serve as a color commentator, play-byplay and sideline reporter for the tri-state region for ESPN. She also worked as a content creator for the Washington Mystics WNBA team, the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals, between 2019 and 2022 before working as a fill-in anchorwoman at WPHL 17 in Philadelphia covering Philadelphia Union MLS games. Close to where now to where she grew up, it seems that Washington landed pretty close to where she hoped to be doing something she loves.

I Remember Dad: A Most Endearing Klondike Derby

My father served 25 years of volunteer service as Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 170, of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Lincoln Park. Of all the many scouting activities that Troop 170 was involved in, I think that the Klondike Derbies were one of Dad’s dearest remembrances. A special memory of my father’s love of the Klondike Derbies, came in January of 1968.

The Klondike Derbies were always held on the first weekend after the first of January. So in 1968, the Klondike Derby for the junior teams (scouts between 11 and 13 years old) was held on Saturday, January sixth. The Klondike for the senior teams (scouts between 14 and 17 years old) was held on Sunday, January seventh.

In January of 1968, I was 14 years old and in my freshman year at Boonton High School. I was to be part of the senior team. As Dad and I rode home from the Friday night scout meeting, Dad asked me if I wanted to ride with him to Camp Allamuchy the next day, to see the junior team get ready and take off from the

starting line. I didn’t miss a beat. I told Dad that I would love to go with him.

Well, the Klondike Derby sled had been packed and put on the back of my dad’s Ford Econoline truck, at the Friday night scout meeting. Dad and I rode alone together on the long journey to Camp Allamuchy in Northwest New Jersey.

Driving from our little Mayberry of Lincoln Park to the wooded mountains of Camp Allamuchy, Dad shared with me his perspective and philosophy of the adventuresome and keenly competitive Klondike Derby.

“I don’t care so much about the boys winning the boy First Place Trophy, just as long as they put their best forward,” I can still hear my father telling me, as if it was just yesterday.

Also, along our hour ride to Camp Allamuchy, Dad talked to me about my Swimming Merit Badge. Basically, he told me not to give up. I remember my father telling me that he believed in me. That even though it might take me a longer time to earn the Swimming Merit Badge, he knew that if I put my mind to it, I could

do it.

“I believe in you, Richie,” my father told me, in the midst of the two of us

talking about my trials and tribulations of working toward earning my Swimming continued on page 18

Merit Badge. I can still hear the echo of my beloved father sharing those cherished words with me.

When we reached the big parking lot of Camp Allamuchy, the six scouts of Troop 170’s Junior Klondike Team came running to Dad’s blue Ford Econoline truck. It was poetry in motion as I helped my fellow scouts lift the big Klondike sled from the back of Dad’s truck and ever so gently place it to the ground.

And then, Jimmy Anderson, the Captain of the Junior Klondike Team grabbed the back handle of the glorious dog sled, the other five boys grabbed the rope handles, attached to the thick manila rope that ran from the front of the sled, and they ran off to the starting line.

At the starting line, the grand and glorious Junior Klondike Team of Boy Scout Troop 170 had about four other teams in front of them, awaiting to approach the shot gun start. Each shot gun shot, would send off two Klondike teams, one running to the left and one running to the right. Mr. Spotts had the high honor of starting the teams off with his famous cap pistol. It was such a magnificent sight to behold.

Back in the line, I watched Dad give a pep talk to his scouts. Suddenly, I saw the grand and glorious leadership of my father come to life. There was no doubt about it. Dad was incredibly proud of his scouts and he cared about each and every one of them.

I took a picture of the moment with my Kodak Instamatic camera that I had in my coat pocket. That very picture was to appear within the pages of the noteworthy Lincoln Park Herald, along with a story that I wrote about the big event.

Now at 69, I would give an eye tooth, give up my entire comic book collection, give up most of my worldly possessions, to just relive that day once again. This past May twelfth, marked 17 years from when my dear father went Home to be with the Lord. I still deeply mourn for him. In all so many ways, my father truly was the Beloved Scoutmaster.

5 Tips to Stretch Your Summer Travel Budget

Many of the nation’s leading travel experts are predicting a surge in travel this summer. It’s no surprise that after months of restrictions, Americans are ready to set out on their next adventures. While popular destinations are likely to be open and welcoming visitors, the uptick in traffic combined with higher prices may translate into more expensive travel.

If you’re planning a trip this summer, learn how to incorporate some smart spending strategies with these tips from the financial experts at Credit One Bank:

Be flexible on travel dates and destinations. Unless your travel is tied to a specific event or occasion, try searching with flexible dates to find the best available rates. Similarly, if you know you want to get away but you’re not particular about where, try looking for destinations offering special promotions or deals for travel during certain timeframes.

Consider trip interruption and cancellation policies. Planning for the unexpected can help protect you if a trip needs to end early or be canceled altogether. Unless you have travel insurance, you’re likely to lose money on non-refundable expenses such as flights, event tickets or tours. However, some travel companies or your credit card provider may

cover reimbursement for certain prepaid expenses. Look into what options are available before you travel to avoid extra headaches when the unexpected occurs during a trip.

Get rewarded no matter how you travel. Using your credit card rewards to offset travel costs is a smart strategy, but not everyone wants or needs perks like miles or points that are exclusive to use with a single travel partner. With point-based travel reward cards, like the Credit One Bank Wander Card, the more places you visit, the more rewards you reap along the way that can be redeemed for future experiences, statement credits, gift cards and more. That means no matter what hotel chain you stay at, car rental agency you select or airline you fly with – or as you mix and match to get the best deals – everyday adventurers have opportunities to earn up to five times the rewards points for doing things they love. Come up with a realistic budget. When you’re planning a trip, it’s easy to focus on the big-ticket expenses like airfare and hotel rooms. The reality is, when you add up all the smaller expenses, you may spend significantly more than you realize. To plan a more accurate budget, be sure you account for expenses like dining out at restaurants,

paying for fuel at the pump and tickets to attractions and events. Don’t forget fees that add up, too, like tips for housekeeping, checked bags, Wi-Fi access, parking and souvenirs.

Research and book free and discounted attractions. Some attractions offer discounts for purchasing tickets in advance online, age-based discounts or free admission at certain times or dates, so be sure to look into any attractions you hope to visit ahead of time. If you’re a travel rewards credit

card holder, start your search by looking into your redemption options. If your card offers flexible options by booking through a specific partner site or dedicated travel platform, you might be able to redeem points or make your spending dollars go further toward earning more rewards for the cost of experiences, entertainment and other expenses while you travel.

3 Grilling Hacks for Delicious, Plant-Based Summer Menus

Cooking and entertaining outdoors can bring friends and family back together, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple, flavorful recipes can be easy on the home chef yet still tasty and enjoyable for those at the table.

One of the best parts of the season is grilled fare like burgers, hot dogs and fresh vegetables. This year, consider adding a plant-based option to your menu. Made with simple, recognizable ingredients, Lightlife offers vegan, non-GMO options that are made for the grill, like Plant-Based Burgers, Smart Dogs and Italian Smart Sausage. These products can help satisfy the craving for protein and are made with ingredients you can feel good about serving your friends and family.

“Food brings people together, and now more than ever, grilling season and dining al fresco is one of the best ways to do that,” said Tommy McDonald, executive chef at Greenleaf Foods. “Think of the grill as an additional seasoning element – a zero-fuss way to add miles of flavor. One of my favorite products is Lightlife’s Smart

Dogs, which have been reformulated to taste better than ever. Try topping them with a freshly made onion jam or quickpickled relish.”

Consider these tips from McDonald to properly grill plant-based variations of your favorite meals:

Be mindful of cook times. Plant-based protein products typically taste best when cooked properly, usually over a low, open flame. When you’re almost ready to dish them out in recipes like Grilled Pineapple Burgers with Honey Garlic Barbecue Sauce or Avocado Toast Dogs, give them a quick sear. If you’re unsure, reference the recommended cook times on the packaging.

Keep it separate. During these seasonal celebrations, there’s often some people who want traditional meat and others who crave plant-based options. To satisfy your group, drop a cast-iron skillet on the grill and allow it to heat up. Put your favorite plant-based proteins in the skillet, along with veggies, to keep the grill organized. Top it off. Don’t skimp on the toppings.

The next time you’re looking to jazz up burgers, sausages or hot dogs, make an easy DIY onion jam to spread on top. While the burgers and dogs are on the grates, prepare some extra coals; once they’ve burned down a bit, bury foil-wrapped onions in the coals. After the onions are soft and warmed through, pull them out and enjoy a smokey onion jam.

“Life of Pi” The Gentle Soul Within

Life of Pi at the Schoenfeld Theatre brings two powerful things to this show, sensational projections and an incredible performance by lead actor Hiran Abeysekera (Pi). Playwright Lolita Chakrararti keeps the play for the most part steadfast to the novel by Yann Martel.It takes a while in the first act to pick up steam, but when it does, it is quite moving and in-depth.

With political turmoil in India, the family which owns a zoo is setting out from Pondicherry, India to Canada for a better life. Bringing the animals along, the ship sinks and Pi is alone on a small boat with four of the zoos animals. The real question, as in the book and movie is: are the animals metaphors for people? When Pi recounts his story to the authorities, is his remembrance accurate? Pi has been on the sea for 227 days, sometimes he goes longer than a week without water. His delirium has the Bengal tiger by the name of Richard Parker talking to him.

The precocious Pi attends a Muslim Mosque on Friday›s, a Hindu Temple on Saturdays and a Christian Church on Sunday’s. To him, all religions have the same premise. In the throws of this play, it is about religion. When the Japanese representative investigating the case tells Pi that he is an Atheist, Pi tells him when he hears his story, he will believe in religion and God.

As Pi makes his way on the sea, Andrzej Goulding›s video design is exceptional. The waves come crashing up against the boat as Pi navigates the Bengal tiger that is the only animal left of the four. Director Max Webster does an

admirable job with a so-so ensemble cast.For the most part “Life of Pi” moves well and keeps the audience interest. Tim Lutkin’s lighting takes us to the eerie depths of the sea with cool blues and onward the the bright oranges of happier days.While the puppetry by Finn Caldwell and Nick

Barnes never wows us, the costumes by Tim Hatley (he also does the scenic design) are first rate on both accounts. The sound design is strong (Carolyn Downing), it compliments the video and staging making Pi a strong contender for a Tony for Best Play.

Bucket List

Travels: Venice, the Impossible City

Morristown resident Paul Partridge has been building a travel bucket list for years. Now he’s diving in – near and far – and shares his adventures in this column.

My wife and I are met outside the Venezia Santa Lucia Railway Station by a private water taxi. Its wooden hull is gleaming, looking like it’s been hand polished for hours. We

“The day you go to Venice . . . will be one day quite by itself in your life. You will be alive that day.” – E. Temple Thurston, British poet & playwright glisten off magnificent ancient buildings, churches and bridges.

settle into the leather-upholstered cabin and take in the dazzle before us.

The Grand Canal is alive with every kind of watercraft from rowboats to sailboats, working ships to luxury yachts – and of course, gondolas. Golden hour sun rays

LIC. #19HC00364200 Residential & Commercial

A Bellini is offered as we push off from the dock. Offer accepted. I’ve only taken one sip but feel my balance is off. Is it the drink? The boat? Or is it the brain trying to make sense of an entire city sitting on water? Its existence is impossible, surely. This watery Oz must be either mirage or magic.

The captain maneuvers through traffic to the front entrance of the Ca’ Sagredo Hotel. The dapper hotel manager greets us and ushers us in. It feels like a palace because . . . it is. An ancient noble residence from the 15th century. Another drink awaits – a Spritz Veneziano. As we’re escorted from the grand stairway to the magnificently frescoed music ballroom to our room, which features a panoramic view of the Grand Canal, it finally starts to make sense:

Evidently, we’re co-stars in a movie –a period piece, a sweeping romance no doubt. The director is about to yell, “Cut, that’s a wrap!” whereupon we transform back to our normal lives of peeling potatoes and taking out the trash.

But no, the scene continues, and the next scene is better, and the next better still.

Venezia… La Serenissima. The most serene. Despite its moniker, Venice conjures up strong feelings even among Italians; you either love it or you hate it, I’m told. Naysayers point to high prices, rising water levels, foul smells, hordes of

tourists, hordes of pigeons.

Certainly, Venice has faults. But I would argue many more charms. Just ask Dante, Byron, Henry James, Hemingway, Mark Twain and Ezra Pound – all or who lived or spent significant time here. Do you appreciate art? History? Romance? Mystery? Venice is soaked in them.

Plus, you can eliminate many of its blemishes just by choosing the right time to visit. For example, don’t go in August. It’s hot, humid, and overrun with turisti. Flooding from hide tides (acqua alta) occurs infrequently, only a couple times a year; highest tendency is in November, December, and October – in that order –according to local statisticians. The foul smell rap is suspect at best. In several trips to Venice, I’ve never experienced it – and I’m extremely sensitive to smells.

The high prices complaint, however, is valid. Yes, Venice is expensive. But whether you’re visiting Hawaii or Nantucket or Saint Lucia, aren’t prices always higher on islands where everything must be shlepped in by boat?

A couple observations: One is, you don’t have to spend two weeks in Venice. Two to four days is enough for most visitors. Also, prices decrease the more you venture away from St. Mark’s Square. St. Mark’s is ground zero, where most of the tourists – especially day trippers – congregate. Do your eating, drinking, and shopping away from the tourist hotspots and your dollar will go much further.

Bucket List....

continued from page 23

Here are some other low-cost options:

Ride a Vaporetto – A vaporetto is a public water bus. This is how many Venetians get around and is the best way to explore the Floating City. Save money by buying a 1-, 2- or 3-day pass. The theater onboard is entertaining, especially during commuter hours. Pets, bikes, trunks, furniture, groceries, the kitchen sink – if you can carry it on, it’s welcome. Meanwhile the view outside is . . . Venice.

Explore the Fish Market – Conveniently located only a one-minute walk from the famous Rialto Bridge. Since 1173, local fishermen have brought their daily catch here, including octopus, writhing eels, giant swordfish, squid, prawns, tuna, softshelled crabs and much more. A place full of energy, life, and fishmonger characters.

Marvel at Venetian Architecture –Venice is a unique city that’s been built up layer upon layer over many centuries. You can witness many different architectural styles such as early Romanic architecture, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassic, and Byzantine.

Get up Early for St. Mark’s – Early morning is a wonderful time to experience

Piazza San Marco. Captivating. Serene. Simply splendid. Other preferred times: under the moonlight or in the fog. If you’re not careful you may get goosebumps. Before you sits St. Mark’s Basilica (tour the inside for free), the Doge’s Palace (sign up for a tour), and the Clocktower (venture inside), with the columns of San Todaro and the winged lion standing guard. It’s easy to see why Napoleon called it “The drawing room of Europe.”

Walk – Grab a coffee or cappuccino and start exploring off the beaten path. It may seem counterintuitive that a city built on water is very walkable, but it is. No cars. No blaring horns. No motorcycles to dodge. Just endless beautiful passageways to wander. And gentle church bells as a soundtrack. Getting lost in Venice is a delight.

Visit Murano – In 1291, the glassmaking industry moved from Venice to Murano to avoid fire risks and to enforce strict control over glassmakers. So valuable was the glass trade that any glass master who tried to leave the Republic of Venice faced a death sentence. Today you can still see glass artisans at work blowing glass and molding it into exquisite shapes.
