You Could Win The Heisman! By: Joe Stroffolino

From the 2009 Heisman Dinner Myself and my wife Donna with 2009 Winner Mark Ingram and past winners Doug Flute and Tony Dorsett; Anthony Stroffolino with Penn State Heisman winner John Cappelletti

If you love college football like I do, then you love the Heisman Trophy! I played college football as did my son Anthony. Anthony had the honor of playing for the birthplace of the Heisman Trophy the University of Pennsylvania. I have had the privilege of attending two Heisman trophy award dinners. In 2007 for everyone’s favorite Tim Tebow. Then again in 2009 when Alabama’s Mark Ingram won. I have met Doug Flute, Tony Dorsett, John Cappelletti and many others.

I think this is pretty amazing considering only 39 schools have won. Some schools have multiple winners. A Brief History of the Heisman Nearly a century ago, college football established that it was here to stay. As fanfare increased around the sport and its popularity spread, the Downtown Athletic Club (DAC), renowned for its devotion to sports, decided that it was time to annually honor outstanding college football players. Members of the DAC appointed a Club Trophy Committee charged with conducting the presentation of the first award at the conclusion of the 1935 football season in the Club’s headquarters, located at the southern end of Manhattan. The first award—initially named the DAC Trophy—was presented on December 9 to Jay Berwanger, a triple threat cyclone and legendary “oneman-gang” in the University of Chicago’s backfield. In creating this Trophy, the DAC recognized the promise and enormous legacy of college football, and had the foresight to institute one of the first and now most soughtafter awards in American sports. For his inventiveness and contribution to football strategy, the trophy was renamed in 1936 following the death of legendary player and coach, John W. Heisman. Heisman played and coached football at the University of

Pennsylvania. He was the inventor of the forward pass that literally was a game changer. In the many decades since it was created, the Heisman Memorial Trophy has become more than an award: its bestowal is a defining moment in the career of a college football player when he is invited to join the ranks of the elite fraternity of Heisman Trophy winners. Recognizing the role a school plays in a player’s success, the Heisman Trophy Committee, in 1968, voted to award two trophies each year—one presented to the college football player and the second awarded to the school represented by the winner. To this day, the Trophy remains a national symbol of collegiate football experience, prowess, and competitiveness. This year, for the 79th time since its inception, the Heisman Memorial Trophy will be awarded to an athlete designated as the Outstanding College Football Player in the United States. The Design of the Heisman Trophy Before the now-famous stiff-arm design, the Club Trophy Committee concurred that the traditional cup or bowl seemed too commonplace, lacking in distinction, and in no way emblematic of the athletic talent that was to be honored and immortalized. It was decided that the trophy would be the bronze embodiment of a muscular footballer driving for yardage.

To create this trophy, the DAC commissioned Frank Eliscu, a well-known sculptor and National Academy of Design Prize Winner. He immediately began to work, selecting Ed Smith, a leading player on the 1934 New York University football team, as his primary model. Eliscu prepared a rough clay study that was sanctioned by the DAC Committee, and sent uptown for approval by the head football coach at Fordham University, Jim Crowley, one of the legendary Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. The prototype was set up on a field, and Crowley’s players were asked to assume various positions to illustrate and verify the side step, the forward drive, and a strongright arm thrust. The artist closely observed these action sequences and modified his clay prototype. The result was a truly lifelike simulation of a player in action. It was

then duplicated in plaster—a preliminary step towards its ultimate production in bronze. The final inspection of the cast was made after a dinner at the McAlpin Hotel on November 16, 1935, attended by Coach Elmer Layden and the entire Notre Dame football team, who had just played in a memorable 6-6 tie game with Army before 78,114 fans. Layden, another member of the Four Horsemen, and the Fighting Irish squad, was impressed by the inspired and animated realism of Eliscu’s model—which was especially noted by Wally Fromhart, Don Elser, and Wayne Millner. That evening, the 1935 Notre Dame team put its seal of approval on the new trophy. Made from an ancient method known as the lost wax process of bronze casting, the completed sculpture weighs 45 pounds, is 14 inches long, 13½ inches in height, and 6½ inches in width. The final incarnation of the Trophy faithfully depicts a skilled and powerful football player, sidestepping and straight-arming his way to a touchdown.

Our favorite Ocean County local community theater group is asking for you to help! There is a fundraiser show coming up and you need to do is buy a ticket to help. Saturday, Nov. 28th at 7pm in the Bengal Theater at Barnegat High School. By Jennifer Baker This show is like a Our Gang Member for 19 years variety show of past Our Gang Player’s alumni. All of these talented people were in the group when they were kids and teenagers. Some have been out of the group for over 15 years like Michael Keeler and Mark Fisher. Some alumni have been out for ten years like Justin Bohr and some about five years like Kara Feraldi. There will be a lot of faces that we remember from past Our Gang shows like Bob Smith, Jessica Austin and Heather Rudolph-King. Joe Feraldi who is an alumnus from the acting part of Our Gang has agreed to be our musical director. Joe is an assistant pastor at Bayside Chapel in Barnegat. Joe over the years has been a big O.G.P. supporter and has helped out by being the musical director for recent shows over the years. But the last show Joe performed in was “Guys and Dolls” back in 2005. There will be an emcee, Kevin Bott. Kevin performed in Our Gang back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Kevin also had the experience to direct the teen division for a while. We are excited to have Kevin join us again for this fundraiser and be the emcee for the show. Not only will there be great solos of singing, dancing, group readings and even bands playing, but we have chorus numbers that you may recognize. Do any of these sound familiar? “Comedy Tonight” from A funny Thing Happened

on the Way to the Forum, “Morning Glow” from Pippen and “Seasons of Love” from RENT. This is one fundraiser you cannot miss. Get your ticket now! A lot of local O.G.P. alumni are excited to be back on stage like Jon and Carly Voinski. The talent that will be on the stage will be amazing! Everyone has come out of the wood work to help. Drew Stevens, Linda Reynolds and Jennifer Baker are the ones spear heading this show. Our Gang has wanted to do an Alumni show for a long time. This Thanksgiving weekend seemed to be the perfect time for it to happen. After we all eat with our families who wouldn’t want to enjoy a night out? The Alumni Reunion Show is Saturday November 28th at 7pm. All we ask is that you buy a ticket. The money goes directly to Our Gang Player’s from the Alumni Association. You can get tickets online at ourgang.org for $20 each up to Nov 23rd. Or buy them at the door for $25 each. You can call Sherry Schnepp with questions or reservations at 609-5970553.

Here at The Causeway Family of Dealerships we are always looking for ways to give back to the community. Ford and Lincoln have come up with an ingenious way to get the Dealers, manufacturers, and public all involved together! This is Driven to Give and Drive One For UR School. Causeway along with The Southern Regional School District has been working together with the programs for a couple years now and has maxed out the donations the last couple times. These programs work with “test drives”, for every test drive during the event Ford or Lincoln will donate $20 or $30 per test drive. The best part is these programs don’t cost anything for the school and almost nothing for the dealer. The Driven To Give program is run by The Lincoln Motor Company and is used to give money to charities. We have done these programs with a lot of our Local Hospitals, Churches, and Community Centers. The layout is the same as the Ford event, for every Lincoln test driven during the event Lincoln will donate $20 per drive. These events showcase just how amazing the current Lincoln product like is, we always say “You have to drive a Lincoln in order to understand” this philosophy resonates with corporate as well. We are always looking for more charities within Ocean County so if you know or run a charity and are interested in finding our more information, feel free to email me at jay@causewaycars.com or give me a call at (609) 597-8083 Ext: 1112. I have plenty of information and even pictures and videos from our past events. Ford | Lincoln limit the events to one in the spring and fall (per Franchise), so we can do a total of 4 a year!

history of thanksgiving In September 1620, a small ship called the Mayflower left Plymouth, England, carrying 102 passengers—an assortment of religious separatists seeking a new home where they could freely practice their faith and other individuals lured by the promise of prosperity and land ownership in the New World. After a treacherous and uncomfortable crossing that lasted 66 days, they dropped anchor near the tip of Cape Cod, far north of their intended destination at the mouth of the Hudson River. One month later, the Mayflower crossed Massachusetts Bay, where the Pilgrims, as they are now commonly known, began the work of establishing a village at Plymouth. Throughout that first brutal winter, most of the colonists remained on board the ship, where they suffered from exposure, scurvy and outbreaks of contagious disease. Only half of the Mayflower’s original passengers and crew lived to see their first New England spring. In March, the remaining settlers moved ashore, where they received an astonishing visit from an Abenaki Indian who greeted them in English. Several days later, he returned with another Native American, Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe who had been kidnapped by an English sea captain and sold into slavery before escaping to London and returning to his homeland on an exploratory expedition. Squanto taught the Pilgrims, weakened by malnutrition and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees, catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped the settlers forge an alliance with the Wampanoag, a local tribe, which would endure for more than 50 years and tragically remains one of the sole examples of harmony between European colonists and Native Americans. In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit. Now remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”—although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time—the festival lasted for three days. While no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing five deer. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of contemporary celebrations. THANKSGIVING BECOMES AN OFFICIAL HOLIDAY Pilgrims held their second Thanksgiving celebration in 1623 to mark the end of a long drought that had threatened the year’s harvest and prompted Governor Bradford to call for a religious fast. Days of fasting and thanksgiving on an annual or occasional basis became common practice in other New England settlements as well. During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress designated one or more days of thanksgiving a year, and in 1789 George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving proclamation by the national government of the United States; in it, he called upon Americans to express their gratitude for the happy conclusion to the country’s war of independence and the successful ratification of the U.S. Constitution. His successors John Adams and James Madison also designated days of thanks during their presidencies. In 1817, New York became the first of several states to officially adopt an annual Thanksgiving holiday; each celebrated it on a different day, however, and the American South remained largely unfamiliar with the tradition. In 1827, the noted magazine editor and prolific writer Sarah Josepha Hale—author, among countless other things, of the nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb”—launched a campaign to establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday. For 36 years, she published numerous editorials and sent scores of letters to governors, senators, presidents and other politicians. Abraham Lincoln finally heeded her request in 1863, at the height of the Civil War, in a proclamation entreating all Americans to ask God to “commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife” and to “heal the wounds of the nation.” He scheduled Thanksgiving for the final Thursday in November, and it was celebrated on that day every year until 1939, when Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday up a week in an attempt to spur retail sales during the Great Depression. Roosevelt’s plan, known derisively as Franksgiving, was met with passionate opposition, and in 1941 the president reluctantly signed a bill making Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in November. THANKSGIVING TRADITIONS In many American households, the Thanksgiving celebration has lost much of its original religious significance; instead, it now centers on cooking and sharing a bountiful meal with family and friends. Turkey, a Thanksgiving staple so ubiquitous it has become all but synonymous with the holiday, may or may not have been on offer when the Pilgrims hosted the inaugural feast in 1621. Today, however, nearly 90 percent of Americans eat the bird—whether roasted, baked or deep-fried—on Thanksgiving, according to the National Turkey Federation. Other traditional foods include stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Volunteering is a common Thanksgiving Day activity, and communities often hold food drives and host free dinners for the less fortunate. Parades have also become an integral part of the holiday in cities and towns across the United States. Presented by Macy’s department store since 1924, New York City’s Thanksgiving Day parade is the largest and most famous, attracting some 2 to 3 million spectators along its 2.5-mile route and drawing an enormous television audience. It typically features marching bands, performers, elaborate floats conveying various celebrities and giant balloons shaped like cartoon characters. Beginning in the mid-20th century and perhaps even earlier, the president of the United States has “pardoned” one or two Thanksgiving turkeys each year, sparing the birds from slaughter and sending them to a farm for retirement. A number of U.S. governors also perform the annual turkey pardoning ritual. THANKSGIVING CONTROVERSIES For some scholars, the jury is still out on whether the feast at Plymouth really constituted the first Thanksgiving in the United States. Indeed, historians have recorded other ceremonies of thanks among European settlers in North America that predate the Pilgrims’ celebration. In 1565, for instance, the Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilé invited members of the local Timucua tribe to a dinner in St. Augustine, Florida, after holding a mass to thank God for his crew’s safe arrival. On December 4, 1619, when 38 British settlers reached a site known as Berkeley Hundred on the banks of Virginia’s James River, they read a proclamation designating the date as “a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God.” Some Native Americans and others take issue with how the Thanksgiving story is presented to the American public, and especially to schoolchildren. In their view, the traditional narrative paints a deceptively sunny portrait of relations between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people, masking the long and bloody history of conflict between Native Americans and European settlers that resulted in the deaths of millions. Since 1970, protesters have gathered on the day designated as Thanksgiving at the top of Cole’s Hill, which overlooks Plymouth Rock, to commemorate a “National Day of Mourning.” Similar events are held in other parts of the country. THANKSGIVING’S ANCIENT ORIGINS Although the American concept of Thanksgiving developed in the colonies of New England, its roots can be traced back to the other side of the Atlantic. Both the Separatists who came over on the Mayflower and the Puritans who arrived soon after brought with them a tradition of providential holidays—days of fasting during difficult or pivotal moments and days of feasting and celebration to thank God in times of plenty. As an annual celebration of the harvest and its bounty, moreover, Thanksgiving falls under a category of festivals that spans cultures, continents and millennia. In ancient times, the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans feasted and paid tribute to their gods after the fall harvest. Thanksgiving also bears a resemblance to the ancient Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. Finally, historians have noted that Native Americans had a rich tradition of commemorating the fall harvest with feasting and merrymaking long before Europeans set foot on their shores. -www.history.com

Ryan’s Recreational Review By Ryan Tacovsky – Sales Associate and Outdoor Enthusiast normally get to see by foot.

It is once again that time where the causeway gazette goes out to everyone local to the area and for me to push a little knowledge your way. This review is not just about hunting and fishing and I want to show that this month. There are many different things to get out there and do to have fun and just enjoy yourself and your surroundings. As I have mentioned before, New Jersey has various parks, lakes, and hiking trails to offer. Many of them allow you take a registered motor vehicle out to enjoy parts of the woods that you would not

When going off-roading and getting those tires a little dirty you should keep Ford in mind. Nothing is more enjoyable then getting in your new F 150 with friends or family and going to enjoy the beauty that New Jersey offers away from the busy streets and hectic work schedules. Doing this in the best-selling, pickup for the last 38 years in a row would be the greatest way to enjoy this. Along with having a nice comfortable smooth ride on the pavement, this truck offers reliability and comfort in the woods as well. When you hit the dirt you will love the ability to have the shift on the fly 4x4 system. With a turn of a simple knob you can go from two wheel to four wheel high just like that, and being able to lock the hubs with just the pulling of the same knob. This truck is set up for your average to your most advanced outdoor enthusiast. Whether you are a hunter or just doing some good old four wheeling, when it comes to that big mud puddle or that tough section of soft sand miles out in the woods you will be glade you are in a Ford. You do not want to be that guy in a DODGE, or a CHEVY who has to call their friends, or family to explain your location out in the middle of the woods and to come pull your butt out of a sticky situation. Built Ford tough is the best way I can explain this. When I am out in the woods I see more Fords than any

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT The Wednesday Night Team at Ford and Lincoln

other manufacture, if I do see others they are usually broken down or getting towed out of there. Get in a Ford and go deep in the woods to find that nice hunting spot that no one else has found yet because they did not have a Ford to make it out there like you.

For my readers please get out there, be safe, have fun and enjoy whatever outdoor activity you love to do. If anyone would like to request something for me to write or would like to come in and take a test drive in the newly redesigned F-150, or any of our ford line up, please email me at RyanTacovsky@gmail. com, or call me directly at 609-713-1809. I would be more than happy to write about any topics my readers would like to know more on, or take the time to answer any questions you may have as well. This is Ryan Tacovsky with Causeway Ford saying “get a little mud on your tires”!!

This unique team consists of three sales consultants and one sales manager, all of whom work well together and are driven by the same passion for providing unmatched customer service. Leading the team is sales manager Wallace Moore. Never will you meet a more fun loving and caring person in the car business. His personality alone will make you forget that you’re in a car dealership. Wallace joined the Causeway Family of Dealerships in February of 2011 as a sales consultant. It wasn’t long before they realized that they could only benefit from having an employee like Wallace as part of their management team. Not only does he excel in customer service but he trains and spreads his knowledge to the newer sales staff, making us what we are today. David Martin joined the dealership in December of 2014. He is an exceptional asset to the sales floor here at Causeway. David grew up right down the road in Little Egg Harbor and continues to raise his beautiful family there. His main focus are his children Mila (6) and Leighton (4) who keep him busy and motivated to push his career forward.

James has seen a mass amount of success in the short time that he has been with us here at Causeway Family of Dealerships. He will make you feel comfortable, as well as help you realize that purchasing your vehicle at Causeway Ford-Lincoln was the right choice. Jennifer Maier joined the dealership in July of 2015. She is a new member of our team and is already showing huge amounts of progress and success on the sales floor. Jenn was born and raised in Toms River and has spent many summers in Manahawkin and Long Beach Island. A majority of her life was spent helping her family operate several 7-ll stores, so she is no stranger to customer service and helping people meet their needs. Being the only sales woman at Causeway Ford-Lincoln, Jenn stands out as an excellent asset to the company. The moment she joined the family of Causeway she knew she was in the right place because she could experience the same family oriented atmosphere that she is accustomed to. The bond she forms with her customers is truly amazing. Jennifer’s customers walk in as strangers and leave as friends.

Directions You are going to want to brine your turkey. The night before roasting, remove the giblets and turkey neck. Rinse the turkey inside and out. Prepare your brine. by adding hot water, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage, nutmeg, orange juice, and lemons into a large bowl. Be sure to mix ingredients until all of the salt is dissolved.

Uncover and let bake for an extra hour at 400* Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees. Once finished, take out and let sit until it has had time to rest. Then serve!

Understanding the Role of CASH FOR a Geriatric Physician YOUR CAR

Harjinder Bedi, M.D. • Internal Medicine Specialist at Southern Ocean Medical Center

Throughout a person’s life span, certain types of physicians are appropriate for particular ages. As a child, you see a pediatrician. During adult years, someone trained in family medicine or primary care oversees your routine health and wellness. As you enter your senior years, a geriatric physician is another type of expert you may consider for your health needs.

Up to 150,000 miles. As old as 15 years.

loved ones because taking on the role as caregiver has put significant stress and strain on the loved one’s life. This is where a geriatric physician can help! When first going to a geriatric physician, your health will be evaluated. The physician will need to know your medical background and will conduct their own physical examination and assessment to see if you have any additional medical problems, as well as consider mental status and mood, any sort of memory disorders, osteoporosis, functional decline, any falls, incontinence, vision, hearing, and mobility skills, and medication management.
