By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A turkey on the table and gifts given by family and friends. These are the things to be thankful for, and the things that can be taken for granted. Thousands of people in Ocean County are struggling to have these traditions. Many local charities are calling on the public’s
help to bridge these gaps and provide help for people. The Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties serves close to 10,000 families, said Lori Sayde, the group’s marketing and media manager. They service 300 pantries in Monmouth and Ocean counties. They are trying to raise (Turkeys - See Page 6)
Local Ministries Help With Holiday Grief
By Lois Rogers The Christmas season seemed to arrive even earlier this year, with decorations lighting some of the area’s public squares and private landscapes the night after Halloween. These twinkling lights are meant as a joyous signal of the holidays and holy days to come. But for those dealing with the loss of loved ones, the season may bring
even more pain, sorrow and anger say area grief counselors and bereavement ministers. That being the case, in support centers for grief and loss around the shore, helping people cope with the emptiness caused by these emotions becomes a priority for counselors and bereavement ministers. They strive to provide insights (Grief - See Page 22)

PARCC Scores Mixed Reaction
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The superintendent had to admit, the scores weren’t great. Superintendent Stephen Genco told the board of education members and audience that he is a competitive man who’s annoyed by something things and proud of others. The PARCC scores, especially at the high school, annoyed him. “I don’t want to lose sight of what we do, and this [the test] is not all we do,” he said. Admittedly, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers averages at the high school, specifically last year’s junior class, were at times below the state averages. In its second year, last school year’s PARCC tests were different from the tests administered in 2015. The tests administered to third- through eighth-graders both years largely remained the same. Genco said he wasn’t looking to make excuses for high school performance, but that too many variables existed to fairly compare both years’ averages. Students grades third through 11th are tested in English language arts, and students in grades three through eight in math. There are tests given for algebra I and II and geometry, which are given in grades seven through 11 depending on what math that student is taking. Super intendent Stephen Genco said the numbers were skewed based on many factors, (PARCC - See Page 6)

County: Always Best To Be Prepared During Hurricane Season OCEAN COU NTY – County government departments and agencies are always keeping an eye on the weather and are prepared for whatever Mother Nature may have in store. Hur ricane season concludes at the end of November and in recent weeks, named storms have been developing in the Atlantic and marching up the coast. Preparations for serious weather events
include creating or updating a disaster supply kit. The kit should include a gallon of drinking water a day for each person and a batter y-powered radio, which could become the sole source of information during an emergency. In the event of a hurricane, the National Weather Ser vice can usually provide up to five days of advanced warning, however being prepared could
save a life. Residents should stay alert for and follow all directions that are broadcasted. Many local radio stations provide information on Ocean County. In the event of an evacuation, like that which occurred during both Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, it is recommended that essential items be brought along including pre-
scription drugs and any special dietary foods. If transportation is a problem, plan with neighbors beforehand to ensure assistance will be available. If needed, evacuation assistance can be obtained f rom t he local mu n icipal of f ice of Emergency Management or the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management.

including the opt-out rates at the high school. He said many Jackson Memorial and Liberty students, seeing their peers opt out, did not take the test as seriously as they should have. According to an April 2015 article on NJ.com, 14.5 percent of juniors and 7 percent of freshman opted out of PARCC across the state. The state did not release sophomore opt-out rates. Nearly 5 percent of third through eighth graders opted out as well. The State does not have a legal opt-out option, and this summer the state board of

4,000 meals for the holidays. As of press time, they were about 1,000 turkeys short, and are looking for residents to donate the turkeys they get as incentives from grocery stores. They could also take the chicken roasters or other options for smaller families. This collection drive, holiday meal appeal, is “to make sure no family is without a turkey for the holidays,” she said. Pat Donaghue, the executive director of the People’s Pantry, said money is still probably one of the best donations they can receive. While food donations are always welcome, pantries can buy what they need for 18 cents a pound. This is far better than any price the average person can get when they buy something at a grocery store. To put that in perspective, a $20 donation
education adopted requirements that the class of 2021 must pass the 10th grade Algebra I and English PARCC exams to graduate. In Jackson, because of the high schools’ block scheduling, many students were not able to test in subjects they had completed. Those issues did not impact middle or elementary school classes, where opt-out rates were much lower. First semester high school students have completed their PARCC tests by mid-January. Genco said much of the resistance has waned and most students participated this time around. A report issued Dec. 2, 2015, by the N.J. State Board of Education said PARCC
testing for block scheduled students began Nov. 9 to little fanfare, and that most questions regarding the test were routine. Genco said he believes the PARCC scores will be higher next testing round. Students are graded on a scale of one through five, with levels four and five being the passing grades in NJ. Jackson Memorial’s ninth and 10th graders outperformed the state on the English test, but juniors lagged the state by 21 points. Eleventh graders at Liberty lagged by 13 points, and freshman by nine points. Tenth graders tied the state with students who met or exceeded expectations.
Algebra II students outperformed the state in both schools, but Algebra 1 and Geometry students did not reach the state averages. While board members and administrators agreed on corrective actions at all the schools, all were keeping their collective eye on what they said matters: the students. “This is one data point. It’s not the be all and end all,” board vice president Barbara Fiero said. “We all know but need to hear, each data point we’re talking about is a student. There are individuals behind that number.” The district’s complete breakdown of the PARCC scores can be found at jacks.schoolwires.net/Page/7391.
could buy 111 pounds of food. There are about 100 families a day coming to them for help, she said. They see about 12 to 15 new faces a month. Fortunately, not everyone comes every month. Some of their clients only come when they have the greatest need. Many of them are solid middle class families that are being hit with hard times, she said. Of them, 49 percent are heads of household, 55 years old or older. These are people who thought that equity in a home would carry them through their retirement, she said. After the housing fallout in 2008, that was no longer an option. Then, Super Storm Sandy hit and anyone who was not in good enough shape to rebuild was knocked even lower. It is easy for people to fall through the cracks in this economy, said Bill Southrey, from Haven Beat the Street, which addresses homelessness
in Ocean and Atlantic counties. They work to provide people with housing and other needs. They receive about 20 calls a day for help. He said that there is a lack of a centralized plan to help people. There’s a “Not In My Back Yard” mentality in Ocean County, where no one wants to allow a facility or church to offer housing to the homeless. There are dog kennels, and a Marine Mammal Stranding Center a little further south in Brigantine, but no shelter for homeless people. It takes more than food for people to feel at home on the holidays. At the St. Francis Center in Long Beach Township, they are providing 275 families with turkey dinners this holiday season, said Erin Borysewicz, family support program director. They are looking for any type of food donation that would be good for a holiday meal. Beyond that, they are putting together a project called the Gift of Warmth where local needy
children’s wish lists were assembled and placed on Christmas trees in the center. If someone wants to make a donation, they pull a tag off the tree and purchase that item for donation. They helped 850 children last year with this program, she said. They are also seeking monetary donations, as well as organizations, businesses and individuals to sponsor entire families. How to help: Donate frozen turkeys/supermarket trade-ins at the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties site on Route 166 in Toms River. Visit foodbankmoc.org/ for more details. Donate money to food pantries, as a dollar goes a long way. Visit thepeoplespantry.org/or more information.

Featured Letter Every Day Should Be Veterans Day
November 11 was Veterans Day. A day set aside to appreciate all that the nation’s men and women in u nifor m have done for this country and its people. I n 1919, i n celebration of the end of World War I, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the country’s first “Armistice Day” saying, “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” Armistice Day was origi nally a d ay to honor solely veterans of World War I but with an amendment to the Act of 1938, on June 1, 1954, Veterans Day was born, a day honoring not just those who fought in WWI, but veterans of all wars. Veterans Day is a time to celebrate America’s
veterans for their sacrifices, their sense of duty and love of country and its people. These brave men and women left the comfort of their homes, the love of their family and friends, to fight to protect the rights of the citizens of this nation given to us by our forefathers. And for that we must thank them. And thank them not just on this day but every day. Every day should be Veterans Day. We should always pay t r ibute to those who put themselves in harm’s way and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. In many cases, these heroes not only served the country, but many now ser ve their communities in various capacities. With all that they have given us, the very least we can do is reach out and shake the hand of a veteran. Let them know that we are grateful and their sacrifices have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. They have earned our respect and need to be shown that every day. So today, and every day, thank a vet.

C ommentary Letters To The Editor
Thank You I am honored and grateful to have the chance to represent South Jersey in Congress for another term. With the support of my family, and our incredible constituents and volunteers, we have another two years to bring South Jersey values and priorities back to Washington and create change. With the contentious politics of the presidential election behind us, our focus will remain on the issues that matter in South Jersey. Together we can support small businesses and their workers with pro-growth policies, tackle the heroin epidemic, keep faith with our veterans, protect the Joint Base and hold the federal government accountable. I care about our path forward, and I pledge to continue representing New Jersey’s Third Congressional District to the best of my abilities. Tom MacArthur U.S. Congressman, NJ District 3
Abuse Of Power? I live in a 55 and over community in Jackson. I’d like to share with you a disturbing situation I find myself in with the hopes of alerting other residents that may encounter similar harassment. I am a Donald Trump supporter. Once I legally displayed Donald Trump lawn signs on my property, my house suddenly came under special scrutiny for violations. Having had ex-
perience with other community associations (a board member in Florida) I have seen first-hand how this selective rule enforcement and abuse of power takes place. Usually, one resident with a hidden agenda reports an alleged violation to the Association. Of course we never know who that person is, because cowards prefer to hide in the shadows and have others do his or her dirty work. This behavior is not in the true spirit of why you have rules and regulations in communities such as mine. Rules and regulations should never be used to carry out personal vendetta because someone doesn’t like your politics. What’s next for this coward? Maybe the color of your skin; religion; ethnicity? Am I going to be targeted at Christmas time if I choose to celebrate my holiday by displaying a religious symbol on my lawn? Let us all speak out against bigotry and injustice and come together in harmony in the greatest country in world. Joe Pancila Jackson
Sand, Shoaling, And No Money There is another major failure to act on the part of New Jersey’s government and the Governor. Following Hurricane Sandy, FEMA showed up with a Waterway Remediation Grant of several hundred millions to get rid of the dune sand that had been pushed across

the barrier islands into the neighborhood lagoons, marinas, creeks, waterways and the bays themselves. While NJ DEP did an excellent job removing large pieces od debris such as cars, houses, pilings, etc. that were in the waterways, they didn’t touch the sand saying “sand was not debris” even though sand was specifically listed as eligible in the grant. One marina in Holgate, Beach Haven was fully remediated at great cost but not one other marina or lagoon on Long Beach Island was touched. The shoaling of the lagoon I live on reduced the value of my property and I won a tax appeal on that basis. Others have as well. I attended three Govenor’s Town Hall Meetings and was called during two of them to ask my questions. I asked the same questions at each meeting having to do with the continued shoal conditions in NJ’s coastal waterways after Sandy. Governor Christie stood six feet from me both times and insisted that a completed restoration program was active and had full funding. He had DEP Commisioner Bob Martin call me the evening after the Town Hall Meeting to “confirm.” Martin did call but he did not “confirm.” He was so nervous on that call that I could hardly understand him. He gave me 35 minutes of BS and the call was ended. I found out from a senior DEP manager that the remediation contracts had all been cancelled as of June 30, 2013 and FEMA quietly took the money back. There was no “hugging the prez” when FEMA grabbed back the funding. In fact, there was
no press release either. Both of the Town Hall Meetings that I attended, Haddon Heights and Moorestown, were held long after the needed programs were scrubbed. Capt. Lindsay Fuller Beach Haven
NJ Voters Done With Politicians Both Lt. Governor Guadagno and Democrat Phil Murphy chose to circumvent NJ election law by not filing with NJ E.L.E.C., and instead used a nonprofit organization to advertise their names prior to their assumed run for governor. The Lt. Governor hasn’t announced her known–by– most run for governor, but raises money from unknown donors benefiting her future run for governor with the nonprofit. Unlike filing with NJ E.L.E.C. the nonprofit donors are not public record. This also enables the Lt. Governor to continue to benefit from her position as Lt. Governor, while using the non-profit to advertise her future candidacy. This is why NJ voters are done with career politicians and the games they play with election law. In leaked emails, Democrat Phil Murphy actually admitted using the nonprofit to benefit his run for Governor prior to his announcement. The Lt. Governor is the Secretary of Elections and should know better! This makes it very difficult for the average Joe to compete on a level playing field in the NJ election process.

S�������� O� G��������� OCEAN COUNTY – A federal cont ract wor t h nearly $9 million for renovations at FBI offices in New York City was awarded by the General Services Administration (GSA). “This is good news for a local company and I was pleased that GSA awarded it to Benchmark,” said Congressman Chris Smith

of the award. “It means job security for a small business.” Benchmark Construction Ser v ices I nc. of Cross St reet, Lakewood, was awarded a contract worth $8,916,783 to conduct major renovations for FBI space at 26 Federal Plaza in New York Cit y. The funding covers both the
design and construction of the renovations. The f unding comes f rom t he Consolid ated Appropriations Act, 2016 ( H.R .2029/ P ubl ic Law 114-113) which provided FY2016 funding for approved GSA projects. The GSA described the work as a repair and alteration project for space in the
Capitol Comments
Jacob K. Javits Federal Office Building in NYC. The work will involve demolition, hazardous material (asbestos) abatement and interior construction that includes electrical, lighting, mechanical (HVAC) and f ire protection upgrades. The overall site consists of three buildings totaling about 2.9 million
square feet. The project includes areas use by The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS). In 2015, GSA vacated space in the building, moving to One World Trade Center. The project is expected to complete the build out of more than 500,000 square
feet for the FBI, and consolidate space for the HHS and USACE. “GSA indicates that the renovations and consolidations will result in savings by eliminating leased space at other locations,” said Smith of the award. “It estimates that the savings could be as high as $13 million annually.”

Assembly Advances Dancer-Space-Phoebus Farm To School Bills
TRENTON – A package of farm-friendly bills sponsored by Assemblymen Ron Dancer and Parker Space and Assemblywoman Gail Phoebus were advanced by the General Assembly as the Garden State commemorated Jersey Fresh Farm to School Week, September 26 to 30. The four bills will help strengthen New Jersey’s Farm to School program, a model being followed by other states. “We are the Garden State,
a nd not h i ng ide nt if ies New Jer sey more t ha n our farms, orchards and vineyards,” said Dancer (R– Ocean), a long time member of the Assembly Agriculture Committee. “The Farm to School initiative provides a bridge connecting a new generation with our state’s farms, introducing students to the nutritional value of locally sourced, freshly harvested produce.” “The program benefits New Jersey farmers with
new customers and a fresh source of revenue,” said Space (R–Sussex), another member of the agriculture committee. “It benef its school children of all ages, expanding their access to, and taste for, nutritious Jersey Fresh fr uits and vegetables that taste better than anything shipped here by boxcars or trucks.” The four bills approved today include: A3058, sponsored by Space and Dancer, establishes a Farm to School
Coordinating Council to help develop and expand the program to more farms and schools. A3059 expands Farm to School to public institutions of higher education. Dancer and Space are the sponsors. A3060, introduced by Dancer, Space and Phoebus, encourages schools to use more locally grown food in cafeterias. Under the bill, schools sourcing at least 20 percent of the food served in the cafe-
teria from farm products grown in the state qualify as New Jersey Farm Fresh Schools. A 30 61, f r om Sp a c e, Dancer and Phoebus, calls on the Department of Agriculture to post on their website recipes, submitted by participating schools. The “electronic cookbook” will include recipes with at least one food item from a Farm to School product. “When students think of food, we want them to think of items fresh off

our farms, not processed and packaged food that has lost its nutritional value,” said Phoebus (R–Sussex). “Farm to School is a critical first-step to a new, healthier, more physically fit generation, and at the same time, it helps ensure the survival of New Jersey’s farms and farmers.”
Dancer Bill Allows Consumers To Post Negative Online Reviews Without Threat Of Retaliation
TRENTON – Consumers bewa re – a ny t i me you sig n a cont r a ct w it h a business or service provider you may be signing away your right to post a negative online review if you have ha d a ba d exper ience. Assemblyman Ron Dancer wants to
change that. He sponsors legislation to allow consumers to post such reviews without retaliation. “This is about freedom of speech and a person’s r ig ht t o e x p r e s s t h e i r o pi n ion ,” s a id D a nc e r (R-Ocean). “If someone has a good exper ience
with a company’s product or se r v ice, bu si ne s se s welcome those positive reviews, but if they’ve h a d a b a d e x p e r ie n c e some businesses are trying to silence consumers by threatening them with lawsuits. It’s wrong.” Some businesses have
clauses in their purchase agreements which state that they can charge customers for any negative review they post on the Internet. Dancer’s bill (A3141) prohibits such language in their contracts. It carries a fine of up to $5,000 for a first offense,
and up to $10,000 for each subsequent offense and allows consumers to seek civil damages. “While anyone who signs a contract should read it carefully before agreeing to its terms, most people aren’t aware these ‘anti-disparagement’ clauses
exist,” continued Dancer. “And when they do, they are usually hidden in the fine print. If a business is providing a good product or ser v ice it should n’t feel threatened by a few bad reviews. Consumers should have the right to be their own judges.”
Dancer Bill Extending Senior Freeze Bene�its To Disabled Passes Committee
TRENTON – Disabled federal employees who are not eligible for the state’s senior freeze property tax reimbursement program because they receive disability retirement benefits
from the federal government are one step closer to relief. A bill sponsored by Assemblyman Ron Dancer (A4130) extending the senior freeze program to disabled former federal
employees, was released today by the Assembly State and Local Government Committee. “There are people who aren’t receiving relief simply because they worked for
the federal government,” said Dancer (R-Ocean). “Disabilities make a fixed income even more diff icult to live on than it already is. Anything the state can do to help is a
priority.” The senior freeze prog ram is available on ly to disabled persons who receive Social Security disability payments. Since disabled former federal

Open Enrollment Seminar Draws Local Residents
LAKEWOOD – Open enrollment to purchase health insurance began. With two different companies offering various plans, however, navigating the available insurance options can be difficult and tricky. The Lakewood Resource and Referral Center’s Marketplace Open Enrollment Kick-Off Event, a free informational seminar held recently at Yeshiva K’tana Simcha Hall, helped educate more than 100 attendees about making informed healthcare decisions. Mayer Hoberman, executive director of Social Services at the LLRC who introduced the event, explained what Open Enrollment is and stressed the importance of making informed choices when buying insurance. LRRC Senior Case Manager Isaac Birnhack guided the audience through a comprehensive health care PowerPoint presentation created by LRRC staff, specifically dealing with the Marketplace and Open Enrollment. Representatives of both insurance companies participating in the Marketplace in New Jersey also spoke. Zemulist Pontoon of AmeriHealth and Jose Pereira of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield walked attendees through PowerPoint presentations, explaining their companies’networks and the benefits of the respective plans. The LRRC, who has close relationships with both companies, assists local
residents with choosing plans and advocates for them when issues arise. Four case managers answered questions following the seminar. Each participant received a copy of the LRRC presentation From Coverage to Care booklet provided by the Health Insurance Marketplace, and insurance company promotional materials. All attendees left the event armed with information to help them make informed, beneficial healthcare choices. At the conclusion of the event, attendees were encouraged to schedule a personal appointment with an LRRC case manager. For any questions about health insurance or to schedule an appointment with a case manager to enroll, call the LRRC at 732-942-9292. The LRRC is available to help local residents purchase insurance throughout Open Enrollment, which ends on January 31, 2017. The office is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call for specific times of walk-in and telephone hours. The LRRC, a federally-designated 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization, 212 Second St., Suite 204, provides free comprehensive social services, information, referrals, and assistance for government and private sector programs in such areas as housing, healthcare insurance plans, nutrition, and utilities.

Artist Mary Mihelic Presents Running Girl Paintings
LAKEWOOD – Georgian Court University will host artist Mary Mihelic for a discussion of her series of paintings entitled Running Girl, illustrating the more than 50 Nigerian schoolgirls who made a split second decision to run for their lives when Boko Haram terrorists attacked their school and kidnapped their classmates two years ago. Mihelic’s Running Girl artwork will be displayed at GCU through November. The Running Girl series of paintings captures the courage of these women. Boko Haram means “Western education is forbidden.” or “Western influence is a sin.” Officially called Wilayat Gharb Afriqiya, this terrorist group believes that women should not be educated but rather used as cooks or sex slaves. The artist’s work reflects on war, religious freedom, the education of women, and global feminism. “I believe it is critical that artists use their talents for social justice purposes or to make a difference,” says Mihelic. “With my art, I hope people can reflect on how human rights around the world are being abused under the guise of religion.” The Brooklyn-based artist also wants people to understand that broad educational oppor-

Many of you are looking forward to the opportunity to hear better with hearing aids. The decision to purchase hearing aids includes (1) acknowledgement of hearing loss, (2) motivation to improve hearing and (3) affordability. Maybe someday Medicare will help supplement the cost of hearing aids. However, I would not bank on that anytime in the near future. Overall “value” is the key to making an educated decision about purchasing hearing aids. In today’s competitive market, the key in separating office A from office B may be perceived “value.” In other words, what I’m getting for my money! In my opinion, “value” begins by providing the consumer with information about their hearing loss and realistic solutions to compensate for the impairment. The hearing health care professional needs to spend enough time with you so that you truly understand the extent and nature of your hearing loss and the treatment options that are available. Secondly, if you mutually agree
that hearing aids are recommended, make sure you have a trial period of at least 30 days. Third, make sure you have the opportunity to return the hearing aids if you are not satisfied during the trial period. Don’t focus on the trial period; instead focus on improved hearing. Fourth, try to get the longest warranty possible without paying extra for it. Digital hearing aids come with either a one-, two- or three-year warranty, in general. Fifth, try to get a loss policy included in the warranty exceeding the standard of one year. Sixth, ask for free batteries at least for the first year. Finally, in most practices, follow-up services, including cleaning and adjustments, should be included in the overall price of the instruments. Remember that overall value is in the eyes if the beholder. Try to avoid “come-on” ads that seem too good to be true. In general, cheaper hearing aids will come with a significantly smaller “value packages.”
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

The season of outdoor BBQs and picnics is ending, but we can still have fun with our food. The Autumn season brings a variety of seasonal fruits and produce that are good for the heart and the brain. “Fall is a great time to incorporate vegetables and fruits into your diet,” states Joan Helfman, registered nurse and chair of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association Northern NJ Board of Directors. “Adding colorful options to your plate like apples, brussels sprouts, broccoli, pears and kale can help reduce your risk for stroke.” According to the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, fruits and vegetables with color contain vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals that have different disease-fighting elements. These compounds may be important in reducing the risk of many conditions, including stroke—our nation’s
No. 5 leading cause of death and leading cause of long term disability. The Association recommends at least 4-5 servings per day of fruits and vegetables based on a 2000 calorie diet as part of a healthy lifestyle that can lower the risk for this deadly disease. Seasonal produce is often more abundant and more affordable—helping to take a strain off the pocketbook as well. Nearly 70 percent of American adults are obese and one in three children considered overweight or obese. It’s important to take control of the diet by making healthy choices. Obesity is a major—yet controllable—risk factor for stroke and heart disease. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meats and fiber-rich grains can help ensure a healthy waistline.

Cramp Bark Eases Vexing Stomach Aches And Monthly Cramps By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Last week I was tearing apart my kitchen cabinet looking for asafoetida spice, when my eye fell on a screw-top glass jar filled with little chunks of brown “cramp” bark. I confess my kitchen pantry resembles Aladdin’s cave of precious herbs and spices. Some of these I keep for medicinal reasons, and others are to season recipes. Most of time there is overlap because everything I cook is medicinally infused somehow. So this is how I came to use cramp bark. It felt like synchronicity, because my husband Sam was complaining of stomach cramps that afternoon. And here I had just found a glass jar containing cramp bark in my cabinet. I threw a tablespoon of the little pieces of broken-up bark into a saucepan and added about 2 cups of water. Then I set it to simmer for 10 minutes, after which I presented Sam with a steaming cramp bark infusion, sweetened with honey. Call it cramp bark tea, although the recipe can change based upon desired potency. Within 10 minutes, it completely relieved his vexing stomach ache and we were both a little surprised. He fell asleep peacefully. (Note to self: Give him this stuff tomorrow night when he crawls in to bed at midnight replaying the presidential debate on his iPhone). Herbalists k now this herb can relax smooth muscles, like those of the intestines, bladder, and uterus, as well as striated muscle, such as skeletal muscle. Cramp bark, known botanically as Viburnum opulus has vivid-colored berries which can be used to create red in k.
Healers have used cramp bark for arthritic pain, backache, menstrual cramps, cramping due to irritable bowel syndrome, urinary pain, and muscle spasms (such as a cricked neck). Because of its calming effect on the nervous system, cramp bark is sometimes also used as a mild sedative for nervous tension. One of the most popular uses for cramp bark is to provide relief from monthly menstrual pain. The discomfort ranges from blessedly mild, to requiring narcotics (hydrocodone) or non-steroidals (naproxen or ibuprofen) just to get through ‘that time of the month.’ Cramp bark can ‘unwind’ uterine tension. For those of you suffering from regular or chronic pain caused by spasms, back pain or monthly cramps, consider adding cramp bark to your herbal medicine cabinet. Ask a holistic doctor first. I’d avoid conventional prescribed painkillers for as long as you can, because they have highly undesirable side effects including heart disease, constipation, neuronal degeneration and/or addiction. Plus, the way I see it, you are just removing one problem and ushering in new ones. I’ve archived a comprehensive version of this article at my website suzycohen. com, so sign up for my newsletter and I’ll email it. Cramp bark comes as an herbal tincture and capsule, as well as dried bark that you can steep with water to make tea. If you are sensitive or allergic to aspirin, I’d recommend that you avoid cramp bark because of its salicin content. If you take blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix and others), then cramp bark is not recommended.

Why is it so important to report an accident? It is so important that the failure to report an accident can result in high f ines and even the suspension of your driver’s license for up to one year. An accident is not only between vehicles driving on t he roa d , but also i nclude s a collision between a moving vehicle and a parked vehicle. No matter how gentle the collision or how slow the vehicles were moving, the involved parties should never leave the scene. Even the most minor accident which may be deemed “just a tap” can result in the issuance of a summons. No matter how minor the accident, it is best for all parties to exchange information and, if necessary, contact the police for assistance. First, all vehicles involved should pull off the road to a safe area in order to protect themselves and other drivers on the road. Next, exchange insurance i n for mat ion a nd , if a n i nsu ra nce claim has to be made, it is important to have the necessary insurance information so the damaged vehicle can be repaired and the insurance companies can make the appropriate payments. Of course, in many cases the parties agree that the damage is minor, no repairs are necessary and, therefore, no claims have to be made. Further, it may be determined that the police do not need to be called in to make an accident report. However, all the parties involved should make that decision. In the unlucky event of an accident where the vehicle that caused the accident leaves the scene, the process is quite serious. If the driver of the
damaged vehicle or an eyewitness is able to take down the license plate number and/or a description Dina M. Vicari Esq. of the veh icle, the person leaving the scene can assume that he/she will receive a summons in the mail or even a visit from the local police department. If that occurs, it is more than likely that two summonses will be issued. The f irst summons will be for failure to report an accident and the second summons will be for leaving the scene of an accident. The latter summons is more serious and carries a mandatory loss of license for one year. The former carries a fine which can range in amount, but will more than likely cost more than $150. Moreover, this summons requires a mandatory court appearance. It is important to remember that the victim in the accident will also be noticed of the court date. That person will probably be looking for restitution and/ or payment for the damages to the vehicle and any other costs incurred. So, if you are the cause of a motor vehicle accident don’t leave the scene! Sometimes people get nervous and think that if they leave the scene they don’t have to pay for any damages. In reality, leaving the scene can be even more expensive. You could be risking court fines and the need of a taxi service for the upcoming year that your driving privileges are suspended.

Grief:
Continued From Page 1
and inspiration that can help support individuals and families between Thanksgiving and New Years when it often seems like everyone else in the world is overflowing with glad tidings. The aim is to keep the rush of memories, especially strong at this time of year, from overwhelming those experiencing them said Ann Ascione-Hardman, Rev. Scott Thayer and Bernice Garfield-Szita and Bob Szita. Ascione-Hardman founded and leads the Bereavement Support Group in St. Luke Parish, Toms River. Thayer leads the GriefShare program at the Presbyterian Church of Toms River. Garfield-Zita and her husband are the founding directors of the Grief Information Education and Recovery Services (GIERS) based in Freehold. In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, they shared reflections on how best to deal with the void left by the passing of family members and friends at this time of year. Ascione-Hardman has been working with bereavement ministry for 24 years. Certified by the Trenton Diocese, her ministry began at St. Joseph Parish, Toms River after the death of her first husband, David, with whom she ran Ascione Florist. After eight years, she agreed to start a bereavement ministry at St. Luke Parish and has been there ever since. On a recent afternoon
she sat in a church meeting room along with her second husband, Michael Hardman, sharing thoughts on how important it is for people to realize that the holidays are full of unrealistic expectations for everyone, not just the bereaved. The St. Luke Bereavement group is open to the community like many others in the area including the ones at Toms River Presbyterian. It is typical for such groups to meet for sessions in fall and spring. “We start in September,” said Ann Ascione-Hardman said. “Grief and the holidays is a real focus every year. We give out a lot of information to read and many suggestions,” to help strengthen the members of the group, all of whom have concerns about the oncoming season. “Some don’t want to go to their families, everyone is grieving in a different way. We tell them don’t anticipate the worst.” Recommendations offered by the St. Luke Bereavement team run the gamut from taking time to care for yourself during the holidays as the demands and pressures increase; letting others know your limits and decisions; reviewing and reevaluating family traditions. It’s alright to delete some and start new ones, she said. The 13-week GriefShare program Thayer leads began earlier this fall. He also conducted to special workshops on holiday grief which drew more than 40 people to the faith center that is a landmark on on Hooper Avenue.
At the workshops, Thayer followed GriefShare’s guidelines, recommending cutting things that create undue pressure from to do lists this Holiday Season. He advocated taking the time to sit down and make a list of what likely can be accomplished without creating stress, from writing cares to baking cookies. “Say to yourself, do I have to do this?” Relieve more stress by substituting new some new traditions for ones that bring back sad memories, he urged and make “tentative” plans being honest about the fact that you don’t know if you will be up to them when the time comes. “Give yourself control,” he said. “Take a break. Allow yourself to grieve. Don’t put on a plastic face and say it’s OK when it isn’t.” Grief counselors Garfield-Szita and her husband Bob Szita are known throughout the Monmouth-Ocean county area for their work in the field. At a November 9 presentation on the stages of grief at St. Robert Bellarmine Parish, Freehold, the couple, both licensed counselors, shared how important it is for those weighed down by the loss of a loved one to “figure out what to do” in regard to the holidays this year. The subject surfaces at their group sessions and presentations annually as the leaves begin to fall, they said. Because the season is “normally a source of great joy,” it’s only natural to consider the impact the loss of a loved one will make, they said. Their audience of more than 20 people at
the monthly session the parish hosts for the community on topical subjects listened intently as the couple explained that it is for those who are grieving to pick and choose what they what they are up to doing. It’s also OK, said the couple, to modify long-standing traditions or even start new ones. “It’s OK to say no if you want to,” she said. “It’s OK to choose things that are less painful. It’s up to each person to figure out what is better for them.” St. Robert Bellarmine Pastor, Msgr. Sam Sirianni has conducted bereavement sessions for the Trenton Diocese in past years. He gently urged those in the parish hall not to be afraid to share their emotions. Not ruining the holiday for others with emotions that over flow is a major concern, Msgr. Sirianni said. Because of this, “people worry about how to handle one of their biggest fears – that they will cry. … We have to be able to shed tears and feel safe about it,” he said. “We have a right to cry even if (the loss) was 25 years ago.” For more information contact: Ann Ascione-Hardman at St. Luke Parish, 1674 Old Freehold Road, Toms River 732-286-2222; Rev.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
He Smokes Weed Everyday
Dear Joel, My husband is a chronic pot smoker. Although it was fine before we were married, now that we have a baby I am not tolerant of it. He does work but I feel like he is lazy at home as a result of this. How can I get him to stop? Answer: It sounds to me that your husband’s chronic indulgence in marijuana may be an addiction. While socially marijuana has become increasingly tolerated, homes such as yours may be damaged. If you’re a regular reader of my column, you know I am not one to blame.
I continue my philosophy in your situation. You can’t control his actions but you can control your own. My advice to you is to find the nearest Al-Anon meeting and listen to others who are facing the same challenges. He may shape up and if not, you have choices to make. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

“Scene At The Shore” Art Exhibit At Grunin Gallery
TOMS RIVER – From December 1 th rough 22, the G r u nin Center A r t Gallery, Ocean County College Main Campus, College Drive, will feature Ann Hayes & Friends: “Scene at the Shore.” Visitors must use parking lot two. Admission is free. T h is g roup show fo cu se s on t he landscape, landmarks, and features of the Jersey Shore featuring 10 artists exhibiting in diverse media. Artists are Mary Jo Austin, Paul Bonelli, Janice Col l i n son , Don n a D’A m ico, Hele n Har ris, Ann Hayes, Elsa Her r mann, Joseph I mbesi, Eileen Kendig, a nd Anne LaBonte Neff. An Artist’s Reception will be held on December 4 from 1 to 4 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Hayes finds inspiration in the rich tapestry of natural and man-made artifacts that make up the Jersey Shore. She is especially drawn to the boardwalks, amusement piers, and old shore houses with their layers of patina. Stressing technique in her work, Hayes’ watercolors have vibrant colors and a natural realism. She often works in watercolor, oil, and Giclée. “My paintings of beach scenes and local land ma rk a re lig ht-f illed and rich with detail. I describe my style as ‘natural realism,’ capturing the everyday beauty found in both nature and man-made artifacts,” Hayes explained. She continued, “The water color paintings are created by building multiple
layers of transparent paint, requiring careful observation and planning. The luminous quality is perfectly suited to water and sky - two of my favorite subjects. Working only in transparent watercolor has many technical challenges that keeps it interesting, there is never a point where you have completely mastered the medium.” Hayes began her studies as a teenager with notable New York artist Earl Tyler at his summer studio in Bay Head. She also studied por traiture with Daniel G ree ne a nd Nelson Sha n k s. Haye s holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education from Douglass College - Rutgers University. Her work has been featured i n nu merou s book s a nd maga z i nes such as “Down the Shore Once More,” “Long Beach Island Rhapsody,” and “Jersey Shore Magazine” (Jersey Shore Publishing).

British Occupation Of The Old Barracks
TRENTON – Come to the Old Barracks this December as the 17th Regiment of Infantry returns as they first did in December 1776. This event will commemorate the occupation of Trenton by British troops just weeks prior to the Battle of Trenton, and offer visitors a view into this often misrepresented side of American history. Throughout the day on December 3, visitors to the Old Barracks will meet reenactors of the 17th Regiment of Infantry as they portray the daily lives of British soldiers. These men will drill, perform musket demonstrations, cook over the outdoor camp kitchen, sew
winter clothing, and more in this unique event that will show a side of the Revolutionary War not often seen before. For more information, visit barracks. org or call 609-396-1776. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for students and seniors, and free for active duty military personnel, members of the Old Barracks Association, and children 5 and under. The Old Barracks Museum will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on December 3. The Old Barracks Museum preserves the history of a building constructed as a French and Indian War military barracks and used as a Revolutionary
NEW JERSEY – What can parents do to prevent their children from getting lead poisoning? There are a number of simple, lowcost steps parents can take to reduce their children’s lead exposure: Wash, or have children wash, their hands f requently, especially before eating, after playing outside or on the f loor, and before sleeping. Wash frequently toys and other objects young children handle and put in their mouths. Have everyone take off their shoes and leave at the door entrance to the home.
Keep children away from bare soil when playing outdoors. Offer children a nutritious diet high in iron such as eggs, lean red meat, and beans. Offer children foods high in calcium such as dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese). Store food and liquids in lead-free containers that are not made from leaded crystal or imported pottery. Clea n at least week ly f loors a nd windowsills by using a damp mop or sponge and detergent. Know if any paint has lead before undertaking any renovations or remod-

At the beginning of the 20th century, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Colonial Dames organized The Old Barracks Association and spearheaded a campaign to purchase the building. The building has been a museum for over a century, and has frequently been used as a symbol for the state of New Jersey. The Old Barracks Museum welcomes visitors from across the state as well as around the world. The recreated 17th Regiment of Infantry was established in 2002 with the mis-

sion to provide for its members and the public the experiences of the common British soldier throughout the American Revolution, specifically at historic sites from the Hudson River Valley to Virginia. The group works as a collective to research, recreate historically accurate uniforms and equipment, and provide living history displays to vividly teach and engage the public with history. The recreated 17th strives for meaningful, research-based public interpretation of the perspectives of the British soldier, and engage with broader questions of what it meant to be “British” and “American” nearly 250 years ago.

Remove leaded paint using special p r e c a ut io n s c a l le d le a d - s a fe wo r k practices or by hiring a contractor that is certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to perform renovations in homes built before 1978. Use only cold tap water to prepare formula, for drinking and cooking. Run water for 15 to 30 seconds before
drinking it, especially if not used water for a few hours. Wash work clothes separately from the family’s laundry if parents or caregivers work in a job that uses lead. Shower and change clothes before leaving work if your job uses lead. Keep children away from hobbies that use lead. Always clean-up carefully after using lead.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of November 19-November 25 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can be shrewd without being rude. In the early part of the week use your business acumen to deal brilliantly with financial and job-related matters. Avoid starting new projects that can be too repetitive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You shine with a light all your own. As this week unfolds you will have several opportunities to prove that you are trustworthy and ethical. Focus on achieving your goals and being a friend to those in need. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put a pen on the paper to pinpoint your opinions. You have some great ideas but unless you write them down they may float away like leaves on the wind. Be patient if someone tries your patience this week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stick to your guns. You don’t need to change the way you are doing things just because other people are doing them the hard way. In the week ahead you may see other people struggling to do something you find easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can be buoyed up by business. In the early part of the week you can be shrewd and highly competent when focused on the material world. Use your aptitude for using technological tools to widen your network of friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Turn off the spigot. Take a good look at your spending habits. You might see that you are overspending or being overly generous. As this week unfolds you might find that a loved one harbors some serious misconceptions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Too much of a good thing is no longer good. You have a tendency to go to extremes and might waste your resources or money to impress someone. Your closest companions may be easily irritated in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make it your business to excel at business. You can make smart decisions about your finances or any work related situation in the first half of the week. Hold off taking on additional long term financial obligations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Rise above frustrations. In the week to come you may be challenged to deal with aggravations in the family or home. Make sure you plan ahead so you get enough rest when there are extra duties on your schedule. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t need a sharp knife to cut the mustard. In the week ahead you might take being organized to an extreme or waste time on the wrong things. Take information and gossip from friends with a grain of salt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your piggy bank back in its sty. Your business sense and financial skills are at their best in the early part of the week. Yet you can be blind to drawbacks and a lack of quality when shopping for personal items. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The good old days weren’t necessarily good for you. Remain practical and businesslike in the week to come rather than becoming bogged down by sentimentality. Hold off on launching a new moneymaking project.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen
Even Meat-Eaters Will Love This Vegan Risotto By Wolfgang Puck As we enter the heart of autumn and move happily toward Thanksgiving, one image that comes to mind, as it does for many lovers of fresh seasonal produce, is the cornucopia. That “horn of plenty,” a large cone-shaped basket overflowing with an abundance of harvest goodness, seems to me to capture so much that is good about cooking at this time of year. Autumn presents us with a beautiful array of produce, from colorful hard-shelled squashes to beautiful carrots to Brussels sprouts and broccoli. Often, when I stroll with my two young sons through my local Sunday morning farmers’ market during fall, I’m inspired to cook dishes that look and taste to me like a cornucopia of goodness. In fact, even though some people might seek warmth with hearty dishes featuring meat when the days grow short and the weather turns cold, I sometimes fi nd myself cooking vegetarian dishes in autumn. I might even take it a step further and prepare recipes that are vegan, completely eliminating not just meats but also dairy products - as I do in the following recipe for my vegan garden vegetable risotto. As you’ll discover in this recipe, it is completely possible to make a vegetarian or vegan dish that offers all the satisfaction you might fi nd in similar recipes that include meat or dairy products. Here, I cook risotto’s signature short-grained Arborio rice with vegetable stock; then I enrich the risotto with almost buttery-tasting squash puree instead of butter, which is typically used. Finally, I top the rice mixture with a saute of vegetables fresh from the farmers’ market. Although you can conveniently use canned pumpkin in the rice mixture, it’s also easy to make your own squash puree. Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Carefully use a sharp, sturdy knife to cut a butternut squash (which has better flavor than most pumpkin varieties found in markets) lengthwise in half; then, scoop out the seeds and fibers. Place the squash halves cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dot evenly with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and bake until the squash is well browned and tender, about 1 hour. Cool it to room temperature, scoop out the flesh, and mash with a potato masher or press through a ricer into a bowl. Reserve whatever you don’t need for this recipe to use in a soup; or season with salt and pepper and a little powdered ginger and ground cinnamon; moisten with some broth, milk, or cream; and gently reheat to serve as a side dish. Feel free to substitute favorite vegetables from your own farmers’ market visit when you make this recipe. May you and yours enjoy all the pleasures of this bountiful season!
VEGAN GARDEN VEGETABLE RISOTTO Serves 4 4 1/2 cups (1 L) reduced-sodium vegetable stock, plus more as needed, brought to a boil and kept at a gentle simmer 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium white onion, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) Arborio rice Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3/4 cup (185 mL) dry white wine 6 baby carrots, trimmed, peeled and cut diagonally into pieces about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick, about 1 cup (250 mL) 3/4 cup (185 mL) baby Brussels sprouts, cut in halves 1 cup (250 mL) small broccoli florets, cut in halves 2 large pinches granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) slender green beans cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) slender yellow wax beans cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) frozen organic green petite peas, thawed 8 to 12 cherry tomatoes, cut in halves 3/4 cup (185 mL) pureed roasted butternut squash (see instructions above), or canned pumpkin puree Small sprigs fresh chervil or Italian parsley, for garnish In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and keep it at a gentle simmer. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic until they begin to soften but not yet brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook until it looks translucent, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the stock and stir until almost completely absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue adding stock, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time, stirring until almost completely absorbed before adding more. When the rice is cooked about halfway, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the carrots, Brussels sprouts and broccoli; season with salt and pepper and a pinch of sugar. Saute about 2 minutes. Stir in the beans. Add a ladle of stock and continue sauteing until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Stir in the peas and tomatoes; adjust the seasonings to taste. Keep warm. When the rice is tender but still slightly chewy and surrounded by creamy sauce, stir in 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the squash puree or pumpkin puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add a little more puree to taste, if you like. Stir in another pinch of sugar. Spoon the risotto onto individual serving plates, shaking the plates gently to spread the rice. Scatter the hot sauteed vegetables on top. Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
