Recharge your fall with these fun activities

By Erica Hoffman

I

s it still fall if it’s 80 degrees outside and I’m comfortably wearing shorts? Is it still fall if I'm making sandcastles at the beach instead of getting spooked on a haunted hayride?

Yes, it’s still fall and I have a feeling sooner rather than later we will be hearing people complain about the cold weather and completely forget about this November respite we’ve found ourselves in.

To help recharge or perhaps jumpstart your fall season I’d like to share some of my favorite fall activities (and some that I’m going to try) that you may have never thought of doing or may have forgotten about.

It’s important to note that with some clever maneuvering all of these can be socially distanced activities.

Plant fall flowers - chrysanthemums, flowering kale, or asters, just

to name a few.

Backyard bonfires - get those marshmallows ready.

Fall foliage drives - this makes a nice solo adventure.

Tailgate parties - the original social distancing event.

Enjoy some apple cider donuts - you can try to make them, maybe you’ll have more luck then I did.

Neighborhood apple pie bake-off - a delicious way to be competitive.

Corn or hay mazes - if your allergies can take it.

Stargaze with hot chocolate or warm apple cider - bring a blanket to the backyard and just chill.

Make soup or stew in the crockpot - a little effort in the morning and you’re set for dinner.

CIRCLE LIQUOR STORE KICK OFF THE PARTY WITH A WINNING LINEUP

Fall family photoshoot - where you’re all wearing the same thing, so cute.

Learn how (or teach someone how) to spiral a football - and then teach me.

Make and hang pinecone bird feeders - remember these from when you were a kid?

Fly a kite - kites are multi-season fun.

Learn how (or teach someone how) to knit a scarf - again, and then teach me.

Take a spooky ghost tour - they’re not just for Halloween.

Make candles - you get to control how fragrant your candles are, which is very important to me.

Put together a scavenger hunt this is a lot of fun.

Project a movie on the side of your house - do a socially distanced movie marathon.

Start a new book- the one that you never had time to read.

Revisit an old beloved book- it’s like rewatching your favorite TV show

but better for your brain.

Decorate your space, or give it a revamp - Christmas decorations are calling your name!

Visit a farmers market - We call it the Garden State for a reason.

Go camping - Even if just in your own backyard.

Make spiked apple cider - just be sure to keep it away from the kiddos.

Start a journal - later in life it will be quite interesting to look back on this time.

Put together a family recipe book - I cherish mine, having all your family recipes in one place is a gift.

Whatever you end up doing to pass the time here is my ultimate takeaway: if you go out WEAR A MASK...for yourself, and others.

The Highs and Lows of November Weather Weather

By Dan Skeldon

E

lection Day has officially passed. And while the counting still continues in a few corners of the country, the results from our November 2020 South Jersey weather ballot came in almost instantly. And it's warm weather in a landslide, at least so far this month.

In fact, Mother Nature "elected" to spoil us with a pair of record high temperatures for the first weekend of November. Records just weren't broken; they were shattered. The standing record high at the Atlantic City International Airport last Saturday and Sunday (November 7th and 8th) was 72 degrees both days. On Saturday, the thermometer surged to 77 degrees at ACY, and we tacked on a few more degrees for a summer-like 79-degree high on Sunday.

Let's put that in perspective to show just how rare this type of warmth is in November. Our average high for the second week of November is only in the upper 50s, which means we were treated to temperatures some 20 degrees warmer than average. Or how about this? Officially, we've only reached the 80-degree mark 5 times in November at ACY, most recently on November 3rd back in 2016. So Sunday was the sixth warmest November day on record in South Jersey. Hopefully, you enjoyed

the serene and sun-sational step back to late summer, as it's likely to be the warmest weather we have left to enjoy in 2020. After all, the days continue to grow shorter, and eventually it will be back to reality as the month progresses.

While the warmth has been certified the winner of this year's November weather election, we're certainly not so lucky every November. Take for instance 8 years ago last weekend. A cruel early season nor'easter roared up the coast in early November of 2012, a slap in the face as it struck just a little more than a week after Sandy's devastating landfall. That storm brought one of the earliest snows on record to the area, blanketing eastern Atlantic County with 2 to 4 inches of a heavy, wet snow on November 7th, 2012. For the record, the earliest measurable snow on record at ACY fell on November 5th, 1973, when a dusting of snow coated the ground.

While October can occasionally bring a rare but strong early season coastal storm, November marks the more common start of the unofficial nor'easter season. Roughly speaking, major east coast storms are most likely each season between November and March. And one of the more memorable November storms stalled off our coast around Veterans Day in 2009.

Nicknamed "Nor-Ida", as it was a combination of a typical ocean storm and the remnants of Hurricane Ida, it sat off the Mid-Atlantic coast for days, battering our barrier islands with endless waves, wind, and rain. Repetitive rounds of moderate to major tidal flooding, a soaking rain, and significant beach erosion resulted from the November gale.

Considering some of these notorious November nor'easters, most of us are likely giving thanks for our

recent warm weather fortunes. But in November of 1989, it was snow lovers that were quite thankful. That's because the second greatest November snow on record blanketed South Jersey with 6 inches of holiday snow on Thanksgiving morning. It's fairly rare when your white Thanksgiving dreams come true in South Jersey. And let's not forget that was promptly followed by some bitter cold air, the coldest ever recorded in any November when temperatures plummeted to 10 degrees with the help of the freshly fallen snow.

So from 80-something-degree warmth to frigid arctic cold, November can be a fickle month. Sometimes, the last vestiges of summer can appear.

Other years, winter rears its cold and snowy head earlier than many of us would like. But no matter what this November brings, it's worth noting that it is seldom a harbinger for what the upcoming winter holds in store. So cold and snowy Novembers aren't a sign to stock up on rock salt or to go buy a new snowblower. Conversely, Novembers that feature record warmth like this one should not lead you to assume that an easy winter is on the way.

Yes unfortunately, the weather pattern that will dictate what type of winter we see has yet to be determined,

and depends on a long list of complex and intertwined factors, not one of which is our November weather. But using our current weather pattern as a clue, there is actually some skill in determining what the rest of November may hold in store. And while it's safe to say that we shouldn't expect a return of 80-degree warmth again until the spring of 2021, indications are that milder than average temperatures may continue for much of the rest of the month. Any cold shots look to be relatively rare and short-lived over the next three weeks, with a warmer and drier than average pattern holding through Thanksgiving. Let's see if Mother Nature "elects" for that to happen going forward.

Have a Field Day at The Funny Farm Animal rescue in need of community support amid pandemic

Well, run on over to the Funny Farm Rescue Animal Sanctuary, where you can interact up close and personal with Emily the Emu, Lorenzo the Llama, and Canyon the Horse, along with over 550 other friendly animals. One of the farm’s newest and most popular arrivals also happens to be one of its smallest. Nemo the Baby Goat is only five weeks old, but already has quite the fanbase.

ly became Laurie’s mission. But feeding that many animals is not an easy job.

Funny Farm Rescue relies solely on volunteer staff and donations. Like many non-profit organizations, the restrictions of COVID-19 hit the farm hard. Not only did the farm close temporarily to visitors, but two major events normally held annually had to be cancelled. Both the Summer and Fall Festivals held on the farm/sanctuary had to be cancelled, leaving a huge deficit of donations and awareness.

Currently, Funny Farm has reopened to the public on Tuesdays and Sundays only from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Social distancing procedures are in place with hand-washing stations and hand sanitizers around the farm. Visitors are encouraged to wear masks, and waivers can be completed on-line before arrival. In addition to visiting the animals, you can stop by the snack bar and gift shop where you can purchase the books Adele the Diva Chicken, Chucky the Miracle Dog, or Farley the Funny Farm Dog, as well as shirts, mugs, hats, and buckets of food for the animals.

Funny Farm Rescue is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charity. They are

always looking for volunteers to offer their time or donations to help these wonderful animals.

Some of the items on their wish-list are as follows: ● Kitten and cat food/ wet and dry ● Bounty paper towels ● Scratch grain for chickens ● Layer crumbles for chicken ● Dried mealworms ● Purina One dry dog food ● Puppy pads - XL ● Timothy hay ● Any pet store gift cards ● Any lumber store gift cards (84 Lumber, Lowes, Home Depot, Peter Lumber, etc) For more information about the farm including how you can volunteer, donate, or visit the Funny Farm Rescue Animal Sanctuary, check out their website: www.funnyfarmrescue.org or visit their Facebook page for the latest events.

Surfer Catching Waves for a Cause

9 year old Brigantine boy surfs nearly 200 consecutive days and uses his passion for surfing to fundraise for Funny Farm Rescue

By Cindy Fertsch

W

hen nine-year-old Carter Doorley, of Brigantine, found himself home from school on quarantine in March, he decided to spend his time doing what he loved, surfing. Since the beaches were never closed in Brigantine and surfing is a sport that allows ample social distance, he decided he would go surfing every single day. His initial goal was to surf 100 consecutive days. He met that goal in early September, and kept on going. On October 21st, Carter celebrated his 150th consecutive day of catching waves and once again, he kept on surfing.

Today marks his 175th day and he is going strong!

Carter learned how to surf when he was only five years old. His dad, a Brigantine lifeguard pushed him into the waves and Carter was a natural! He shared that his favorite surf session was his 100th

day Celebration. There were balloons, and friends and family, along with the mayor there to congratulate him. He also loves to surf with dolphins, which he did, twice this week alone.

"The surfing community has been overwhelmingly supportive of Carter," says his mom, Dawn Doorley. Local pro surfer Ben Gravy chats with Carter often and the local surf shops and have been supportive as well. A family friend, John Szatkowski goes out in the water with Carter frequently and has coached him previously, during the summer.

The active hurricane season this year has fueled some rough surf conditions with big waves.

Has that stopped Carter?

Not at all. "Carter’s fearless," Dawn explains.

"Even during the hurricane swells, he’s not afraid." Carter’s parents do watch the surf conditions carefully though and often give Carter a time window to surf when conditions are optimal.

In August, Carter competed in the

Brigantine Surf Jam for the second time and became the youngest Super Heat winner in the event's history. There are several age groups that compete in individual heats, and the winners of those heats compete in the "Super Heat" at the end of the event to determine the champion of the Surf Jam. “He didn’t even catch a wave last year," Dawn said. “And then this year, what a turn around! We cried, we were so happy for him.”

It turns out that, Carter also has a big heart. He recently saw on social media that the Funny Farm Rescue is struggling to meet the needs of all the animals, with donations lower due to

the pandemic. Carter went there on a field trip in first grade and quickly decided to fundraise for the non-profit.

He created "Twenty waves for twenty dollars." When you donate twenty dollars to Funny Farm Rescue, Carter in return, will catch twenty waves. He visited the farm Tuesday, November 10th and presented a check to farm owner, Laurie Zaleski.

Finding time to surf may get a little trickier as Carter heads back to in-person learning at school this week and the days have become shorter. But he is not worried at all. In fact, he has already petitioned his school to form a Surf Club.

So what’s next for Carter? Well, one thing we know for sure is he will be riding plenty of waves. His next goal is 200 consecutive days, then 365. If there is a world record holder, he or she better watch out because there is no stopping this 4th grader.

You can follow Carter on Instagram.

His mom created an Instagram account for him @cartercatcheswaves to document his journey. She runs the account, but lets him comment under her supervision.

he recent warm weather had many shore homeowners wishing to enjoy the indoor comforts outside. It's time to consider upgrading our outdoor space with quality furniture. Many homeowners are enjoying the indoor comforts outside, expanding their living space. Ocean Outdoor Teak and Polly Outlet is ready to help get the look you want the best furnishings.

"We are ready now, with a full selection of both Poly and Teak furniture. Tables, chairs, deep seating sets and pub sets are ready to go to their new

home today. Two seat pub sets start at $950 and our four-seat pub sets with a pub table start at $1,400. Pub and bar sets are great because they allow couples to see over the railing if they have a view. This makes our Ocean City, Sea Isle, Avalon, and Cape May customers very happy. The popular folding Adirondack Chairs start at $299."

"We have moved our Somers Point Teak Outlet to Route 9 in Ocean View/Clermont Cape May County, says Alison. It's a beautiful area two miles south of exit 17 on the Garden State Parkway (Sea Isle exit). We have a much larger store here and a lot of room to expand, with large outdoor displays, and a large workshop to finish and refinish our teak furniture. Over the years you may have seen our furniture at the Ocean City yacht club, Cape May Lewes Ferry, Hyatt Penns Landing, Beach Creek Oyster Bar to name of few. Our company has been in the New Jersey shore area for 15 years. Our past stores in Cape May and Somers Point are now in one convenient store right in the middle.

NJ says yes to weed

State and local voters strongly back marijuana legalization

By Bill Barlow

T

he idea of legal marijuana proved more popular than either President Donald Trump or Joe Biden in Atlantic County and throughout New Jersey, where a ballot measure to amend the constitution received support from close to 70% of voters.

Supporters and critics of the idea described the results as overwhelming.

But don’t spark up just yet.

While voters agreed to amend the state constitution, that does not take effect until Jan. 1, 2021. Even then, the state Legislature will still need to draft laws that will create the legal framework to license, tax and regulate a legal cannabis industry.

Soon after the vote, New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal issued a statement making clear marijuana

remains illegal, at least for now, and unregulated marijuana will remain illegal in New Jersey in the future.

“All of the state’s criminal laws relating to marijuana continue to apply, until, among other things, the Legislature enacts a law creating that regulatory framework,” Grewal said on Wednesday, Nov. 4. “It is important that residents accurately understand the current situation, so they do not inadvertently engage in criminal conduct relating to marijuana – conduct that may be legal in the future once the Legislature acts, but is not presently legal based on yesterday’s vote.”

But at the same time, he issued guidance for law enforcement officers throughout the state reminding them of “broad discretion” in handling low-level marijuana offenses. Police and prosecutors cannot adopt blanket policies giving a pass to marijuana possession, he said, because that would overstep the role of law enforcement, crossing the line into decisions reserved for the Legislature.

Still, New Jersey is likely to see a significant drop in arrests for simple possession in the coming months, predicts Scott Rudder. He’s the president of the New Jersey CannaBusiness Association, one of several groups that supported the

referendum.

He’s happy with the vote, but not surprised.

“The polling has been terrific for the past several years,” he said, with each poll showing more support for legalization than the last. “This was really a mandate by the people about what they wanted to have.”

Rudder sees the vote showing clearly that New Jersey wants a legal marijuana market and the expungement of arrest records for those caught up in what he termed the failed war on cannabis.

Social justice was a big part of the argument in favor of legalization, as presented by legalization advocates, the New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and Gov. Phil Murphy.

Although marijuana use is statistically the same between the two communities, Black New Jersey residents were far more likely than white residents to face charges related to marijuana, and more likely to see harsher punishments if convicted , according to studies on the issue.

A coalition of pro-legalization groups, NJ Can 2020, celebrated the vote.

“New Jersey voters have mandated an end to cannabis prohibition, and they

have voiced their support for building an equitable, just market in place of unfair and outdated drug laws,” reads a statement from the group. “Our legislators must immediately enact legislation, with a central focus on social justice and racial equity, to deliver the economic benefits and improved public safety to follow from the new law.”

Many lawmakers opposed the referendum, and an organization opposing legalization expressed disappointment in the results. Kevin Sabet, the president of the group Smart Approaches to Marijuana, said the cannabis industry outspent opponents by 400 to 1, suggesting they hoodwinked voters into supporting the referendum.

"But we are not done. I believe most people probably thought they were decriminalizing – not necessarily legalizing – marijuana,” Sabet said. “You will see some of the same people who voted for this will stand with us to stop pot shops in their communities. They will also stand with us as we pressure the Legislature into making regulations that can at least partially protect public health.”

There is reason to doubt that.

A Rutgers-Eagleton poll released before the election showed strong support

for legalization, and 64% expect a boost to the state economy. That’s the same percentage as the number of people who said they would not be upset if a marijuana dispensary opened in their community.

Some local officials are willing to consider allowing dispensaries, with an eye toward the potential tax benefits. In Atlantic City, for instance, Mayor Marty Small welcomed a medical dispensary to the city this year, and in public comments he called for tax funds from legal marijuana sales to stay in the resort.

Other towns have said they do not want any marijuana sales, and the Cape May County Board of Freeholders this year unanimously approved a resolution opposing legalization.

Heading up a business group, Rudder is focused on the economic impact.

He estimates a new, licensed cannabis industry could bring in $300 million in new taxes once it’s up and running, with the additional benefit of saving millions in law enforcement costs. Including the added jobs and additional economic benefits, he said the total economic impact of the new industry could top $6 billion.

New Jersey has allowed the purchase and possession of marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation for years. The vote will mean the purchase will now be open to anyone over the age of 21, once the legal framework is approved and licenses issued.

Supporters of legalization say that process could continue well into 2021, as Legislators hammer out multiple details, from how much someone can purchase and possess at a time to how many licenses will be issued throughout the state. The first sites will likely be the existing medical facilities.

That’s how the process worked in other states, according to Rudder.

That raises a concern for David Knowlton, the founder of the Compassionate Care Foundation in Egg Harbor Township. He said the data are clear; that cannabis helps patients. He’s worried that an adult-use market could make it more difficult for patients to get their medicine.

“There’s barely enough capacity right now to keep up with the demand,” he said.

In a separate interview, Rudder also said ensuring the medical cannabis supply must be the priority as the new industry gets off the ground.

This year, Acreage Holdings acquired Compassionate Care, including the locations in Egg Harbor Township and a new one in Atlantic City, which now operate under the name The Botanist.

No one from The Botanist responded to a request for comment. Knowlton is

no longer involved with the dispensary.

He’s now the president of the Cannabis Education and Research Institute.

Knowlton believes the vote will have a big economic impact, especially in Atlantic City, where adult visitors from New York and Pennsylvania will be able to purchase marijuana.

It will also mean new burdens for the city, he said, as officers will need training on identifying intoxicated drivers.

He also advises patience.

“Even if they started tomorrow, they wouldn’t have any product for four to six months. It’s a plant,” Knowlton said. It can’t be shipped from California, Oregon or other legal states, because it remains illegal at the federal level. It all has to be grown in New Jersey.

Last week was big for marijuana around the country, with legalization measures also approved in Arizona, Montana and South Dakota. That’s now 15 states that allow grown-ups to have marijuana, in addition to the District of Colombia, and more allow medical use.

South Dakota also approved a medical marijuana initiative this year, as did Mississippi.

According to Rudder, New Jersey has the luxury of looking to other states for

guidance, and may avoid some of the issues that occurred in California and Colorado, starting with strict labeling and child safety rules for sweet edibles that may entice children.

Rudder said the process will take time. Even with an actively pro-cannabis administration, only six licenses for medical marijuana dispensaries were approved over the last two years, he said, and a single lawsuit can delay the approval process.

His organization advocates for a procedure that allows anyone who meets set criteria to receive a license to open a dispensary, similar to how licenses are dispensed for other industries.

“Once you qualify and have the approval of the municipality, you could get a license,” he said.

But that may not be how the state proceeds. It could instead issue a limited number of licenses through an application process or opt for another system.

“That will be a strong discussion point. There are various views on which model to follow,” he said.

In Atlantic County, 69,644 mail-in voters said yes to the referendum question on marijuana, compared to 32,549 against, according to unofficial numbers.

That was more votes reported than for any candidate.

According to a tally reported in the New York Times, 67% of New Jersey voters said yes on the question.

Margate says ‘no’ to boardwalk plans Overwhelming margin defeats proposal to explore building $24M walkway

By Bill Barlow

M

ARGATE – Voters said no to a boardwalk for Margate by a margin of more than two-to-one, dealing a decisive blow to the proposal in a non-binding referendum.

“Sadly, on Nov. 3rd Margate’s voters killed the dream of a new BW in Margate,” reads a statement posted to themargateboardwalk.com, the website of The Margate Boardwalk Committee. “This will be the last post made to this web page and the site itself will shortly disappear.”

The group had advocated for a new boardwalk starting at Fredericksburg Avenue, to continue from where the boardwalk ends at the border with Ventnor, creating a continuous line to the north end in Atlantic City. As proposed, it would

have run a mile and a half along the beachfront.

Supporters of the proposal say it would have improved access to the beach and to water views, and improve the quality of life in Margate.

Supporters estimated the total cost at $24 million, although critics believed that to be a low number.

In any case, last week’s non-binding vote was only on whether to take the next step; spending $285,000 on plans and begin working on acquiring permits. Voters declined to go even that far.

According to numbers posted by the Atlantic County Clerk’s office, there were 2,425 votes cast against the referendum, compared to 1,143 “yes” votes. Under an emergency order from Gov. Phil Murphy, this election took place primarily by mail.

Voters could mail back their ballots, drop them off at secure locations or return them in person on election day.

Those seeking to vote in person on Nov. 3 who did not have their mailed ballot could cast a provisional vote. The clerk’s office showed one in-person vote in Margate on the

boardwalk question, a “no” vote.

As of Monday, Nov. 9, the numbers remained unofficial.

Mayor Michael Becker described the results as overwhelming. He spoke against the proposal, describing it as a very expensive project that would have taken funds from more pressing priorities, including drainage work and infrastructure repairs.

“For me, I didn’t think we could afford it,” he said. He indicated the other members of the local governing body agreed.

“There is no support on the commission for a boardwalk,” he said.

The push from the Margate Boardwalk Committee was to get the people’s input.

“I guess the next move is up to them,” he said.

Glenn Klotz, one of the organizers of the effort to build a boardwalk, described the results as a disappointment.

“The people spoke,” he said.

“That’s all there is to it.”

The pro-boardwalk committee would disband, he said.

“We respect the people’s will and that’s the end of it,” Klotz said.

Margate had a boardwalk for decades. But a massive hurricane destroyed most of it in 1944, with the remainder washed away in the 1960s, according to Becker.

The idea for a new walkway came up after a federal beach and dune project in 2017, one that proved deeply unpopular in Margate.

While many towns welcome state and federal funding to add sand to eroding beaches, the Margate re-

plenishment project built tall sand dunes along the beach, which many in Margate said blocked views and caused other problems.

Dunes have become a standard part of shore protection projects.

But many in Margate complain that the dunes were foisted upon the residents, without regard for their opinion, with much of the wrath aimed at former Gov. Chris Christie.

In earlier interviews, both Klotz and Becker criticized the work.

The proposed boardwalk would have restored views of the water now blocked by the dunes, according to the arguments put forward by boardwalk proponents. They also argued a boardwalk would be a great place to bike, run and walk, and improve access for elderly residents and those with physical limitations.

Officials in town, and residents opposed to the idea, argued that the project would be both expensive to build and costly to maintain. Many argued that the actual cost would far exceed the $24 million estimate.

Becker said Margate used the wording proposed by the organization and used their estimate of the total cost in the referendum.

“We were very accommodating to them,” he said.

He does not believe the idea is any more popular among non-resident property owners, who pay taxes in the municipality but do not get a vote in local elections. He said he often speaks with people and did not hear much support for the idea.

“I didn’t get much support for a boardwalk from any group,” he said.

Planning for a COVID Thanksgiving

By Holly Martin

T

he COVID-19 pandemic has made 2020 a rollercoaster ride. We all know Thanksgiving is going to be a little different this year. There will still be turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes, but we cannot forget to keep our families safe while celebrating. It will still be a time to gather with our quarantined loved ones around the table and give our thanks. Keeping the CDC recommendations in mind for Thanksgiving will ensure a happy and healthy holiday.

The “low risk” activities given by the CDC include most of the normal Thanksgiving happenings. Gather

around the table with your family within your household. This may be the year to try your first virtual Thanksgiving with family from out of town. If you do have a small crowd join you for dinner, health experts suggest eating outside or at least with the windows open. Try to maintain a proper social distance with people you have not been quarantined with.

Also, experts suggest buffet style dining or passing around the plates should be avoided this year just to keep contact to a minimum.

If you decide cooking isn't for you, there are many places that can make this year's dinner a breeze. Shoprite has your Thanksgiving dinner covered. They offer a fully cooked turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, and gravy for pick up as long as you give at least 72 hours notice. Renault Winery is also offering a complete Thanksgiving dinner with different options for your starter, main course, and sides plus a dessert. They ask for all orders to be

Jump Right Back on Track Nutrition

hether you took down three, ten, or thirty Reese’s peanut butter cups, the damage is done. Acknowledge and accept that you got off track. Then, let go of it and move on. Wallowing in guilt will only delay your weight-loss efforts—and may actually lead to more slip-ups.

After the party is over, post-holidays, the absolute worst thing you can do right now is cut calories, skip meals, or go on a very low calorie fast

or detox plan in an attempt to undo damage. Extreme diet “fixes” only set you up to slip up again. Elimination and deprivation only causes you to binge .

From Thanksgiving to Christmas to Easter , holidays can really weigh you down, particularly for those trying to lose weight and stick to a diet. You likely fought a good fight, but gave in and ate not one, but multiple servings of that creamy casserole, the basket of biscuits, a bucket of candy, or dozens of sugar cookies.

Please plan your meals ahead.

Planning meals, making a list, and grocery shopping for items needed this week (or at least for the next five days) is crucial, because it leaves you no excuse for neglecting your diet. Menus and recipes should focus on whole,

unprocessed foods emphasizing vegetables (including starchy ones), fruits, legumes, lean protein, and healthy fat sources such as olive oil, avocado or nuts. Aim for 1200 to 1500 calories per day depending on activity and size.

Don't stress about the scale. There is no need to weigh yourself everyday.

Don't be deterred by the number on the scale after a weekend of heavy meals. Due to bloating and water retention following a slip-up, the number on the scale is usually inaccurate and a poor reflection of your body weight. In addition to this, avoid weighing yourself for a few days due to emotional stress that the scale number may cause for some.

One of the best ways to hold yourself accountable is to keep a food and exercise log on your phone or in a journal. Tedious, yes, but research confirms it works when it comes to weight loss and sticking with a plan.

Success in reaching your goals must be thought out and planned.

What triggers you? What really tempts you? What do you feel like you have no control over eating in a stressful or hungry moment? These are your trigger foods, and they need to be removed from your environment.

This can be hard if you’ve got kids in the house, but try using it as a healthy lifestyle lesson.

Besides, no one—even those not trying to lose weight—needs candy, so encourage kids to pick out favorites to keep, then donate the rest. Senior centers like extra treats on hand, and

churches often need candy for Christmas shoebox ministries. Some gyms and local businesses even buy candy after Halloween to send to the military overseas and to help fight childhood obesity.

I preach the best-laid plans require a little thinking ahead. If you work outside the home, get up a few minutes early so you can plan your lunch and snacks for the day. Store premade lunches or leftovers in individual portioned containers for faster packing. If you work from home, it’s still a good idea to portion out snacks in the morning when willpower is usually highest.

Get some rest. God knows this past year events caused more daily stress and depression for us all. The quickest way to get off track with weight-loss efforts is lack of sleep. The average adult needs seven to nine hours of sleep each night; less sleep than that affects concentration, memory, energy levels and stress levels. Lack of sleep also puts you in constant search of caffeine or sugar pick-me-ups, which add extra unnecessary calories.

Don’t skip snacks to avoid calories.

Healthy snacking promotes weight loss by managing hunger, stabilizing blood sugar, and preventing overeating or binges. Choose low calorie snacks (100 to 200 calories) with fiber and protein for satiety. Snack ideas with 200 calories or less are apple slices with a tablespoon of nut butter, ¼ cup of almonds, baby carrots and 3 tablespoons of hummus, 5 whole grain crackers and 1 ounce of cheese, or ½ cup Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of berries and nuts.

Hydration is key to warding off feelings of hunger and getting rid of post-holiday bloat, not to mention your body’s overall health. While the common rule of thumb is eight (8-ounce) cups of water daily, many may need a little more than that—closer to nine cups for women and 13 for men, according to the Institute of Medicine.

The easiest way to stay hydrated for most: carry a water bottle and have a cup of water before each meal.

ello again to all my readers. In this article I’m going to give you the royale treatment. Yes, I spelled that correctly. While the term royal refers to kings and queens and others

of high birth (I will be mentioning a king in a bit), a royale is an egg custard that can be made in a variety of ways.

Royales are used as garnishes in clear, hot consommés, and are added just before serving. They can be as simple as slices of egg custard, or they can be cut into decorative shapes like stars or diamonds. They transform a simple stock into a very elegant soup.

It the Piedmont section of Italy there is a very famous soup called Consommé alla Benso, which includes a royale in the recipe. The majority of time, royales are made in a traditional way using eggs, egg yolks and

Serves 6 For the Royale 1/2 cooked chicken breast 1 egg 3 egg yolks Salt to taste Butter Small heat-proof mold For the Broth: 10 cups chicken consummé or clear stock, divided 1 white truffle, sliced paper thin, optional Grated Parmesan cheese

Pound the chicken breast with a mortar and pestle until finely ground; then rub through a sieve or purée in a blender until smooth.

Beat the egg and the 3 egg yolks together. Add a pinch of salt; blend thoroughly, then stir in 1 cup of

chicken consummé or stock until thoroughly combined.

Pour the custard into a well-buttered mold. Remove the scum that forms on the top and cook, covered, in a pan with simmering, not boiling, water for 30 minutes or until the custard is set. The water should come halfway up the side of the mold; be care not to let the water boil.

Carefully take the custard from the pan and let it cool completely.

Run a knife around the edge of the mold and turn the custard out, cut it into thin slices and then cut into rounds or fancy shapes. Divide these between soup bowls, and to each bowl add a slice of white truffle, if using.

Bring the chicken stock to a boil and gently ladle it into each bowl.

Serve immediately, accompanied by a bowl of grated Parmesan cheese.

But why the name Benso? Here’s where the king I mentioned earlier comes into the story. King Victor Emmanuel II was King of Italy in the 1860s. He appointed as his trusted advisor Camillo Benso, the Count of Cavour, as his Prime Minister and trusted advisor.

A native of Piedmont, Cavour, as

he was known, was very successful in the growth and unification of Italy.

But in addition to his political and economic skills, he travelled extensively throughout Europe and was reported to be a gourmand. He also was very interested in farming and new agricultural techniques, and he founded the Piedmontese Agricultural Society.

I don’t know why this consommé recipe carries his name, but he was a very popular man and many Italian cities have important streets, squares, and piazzas named after him, so why

A High School Football Tradition for Over 100 Years: Ocean City vs Pleasantville

One sentence in the Ocean City Ledger reported on the game: “The football team of the Ocean City High School played Pleasantville High School team last Saturday afternoon on the Pleasantville grounds and lost.” The local paper did not report it was a 106-7 loss.

Taking time to thank a beloved role model An Open Letter to Michael Bailey

The Light with Raymond Tyler

W

riter’s Note: For decades, Michael Bailey has made his mark in Atlantic City as a musician, an artist and as an athlete. He served as the Atlantic City recreation director, spent decades working with the Atlantic City Police Athletic League and has been a mentor to countless young people. I am sure he would put “man of God” first on the list. I am sharing this letter to let Michael know how much I love and respect him. For my Shore Local/Light readers, I hope you are inspired and understand I would not be here without his influence.

Dear Michael Bailey, I want to open this letter with a simple word: “Thanks.”

I am reminded of the story of Jesus healing 10 men and only one coming back to say thanks. I think of this because this letter of thanks is long overdue.

The very first article I wrote about my hometown was about our mentor, “Mr.

Scope.” The late Sgt. Lloyd “Scope” Ward started the Police Athletic League in Atlantic City, serving as its director from 1972 until 1992.

Being that you were already training to do what Mr. Scope did when I arrived at the Police Athletic League, it should not have taken me this long to write this.

Michael, I thank you for being the big brother I never had.

I was blessed. I never got into any trouble that I could not take to my parents, but when I was a teen, I truly felt that I could talk to you about anything. I felt that you were young enough to understand and smart enough to set me in the right direction.

You were then and are still an example to me of the athlete who can be an artist.

Your basketball game was and remains so great. I was amazed watching you play.

Then when I had to guard you, you were a total headache, even though I am taller and outweigh you.

I still wake up from some summer naps seeing Mike Bailey jump shots.

You made my overall game better.

Playing against you in team settings and one-on-one helped me figure out how to defend smaller skilled players (although I have met very few with your skill set) and how to defend and score on players bigger

than myself. was younger my mother From playing against you, wanted me to take piano and I learned to play the game by I argued that I didn’t want to be “soft.” seeing three or four plays You must know that not ahead and making my oppolearning piano is the closest nent commit to the play and thing I have to a regret. position on the floor that I want him to.

Shore Local Reads

Meet Ocean City native Jim Jeffries, Author of “The Bay Rat Kid”

By Steffen Klenk

B

orn in 1938, Ocean City native Jim Jeffries witnessed many things in his young life, from the blackouts that occurred during World War II, rocking out to Bill Haley and the Comets, and surviving several major storms. Jeffries recalls the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944. “I was six years old, but

I remember my little wagon floating out of our yard down the street.”

Now, he has written a book about life on the island. The book, entitled “The Bay Rat Kid: Growing Up in Ocean City, New Jersey 1940-1950” is described as a collection of vignettes from Jim’s childhood and teenage years. Spanning 158 pages, this book recollects the places where Jim ventured and the people that were instrumental to him, as well as the overall feeling of that timeframe. His goal is for readers to reflect about the people that make a positive impact on themselves, whether that is a neighbor, teacher or group of people.

The idea for the book came after Jeffires spent time researching his family

history online, a process recounted as gradual. After a little help and encouragement from fellow Ocean City native and author Frank Esposito, his story began to flourish. The name of the book was inspired by an incident that took place along the former boatyards behind Bay Avenue, where Jim had spent much of his time growing up near his family home. He recalled one moment where someone had called him a bay rat, and the name stuck.

“I had no clue what a bay rat was, and I never asked him,” said Jeffries.

Before Jim was born, his family had moved to the island in 1882. He was one of three siblings. His father, Leroy Jeffries, operated the Ocean City Market House at 860 Asbury Avenue, after which serving as postmaster general for nearly twenty years. In the book, Jeffries recalls the many people he had encountered while working at the post office, including Dick Grimes. An army veteran and fellow resident, Grimes founded the Ocean City Youth Athletic Association in 1956.

Jeffries attended Ocean City High School, where he became Class President and managed the men’s basketball team to their first State Championship in 1955.

“We traveled throughout New Jersey playing different tournaments to get to that point. It was, without question, the biggest thrill of our lives.” In the book, he also looks back on his friend and fellow OCHS graduate Frank Wickes, who passed away earlier this year. Described by Jeffries as an A student and all American, Wickes would lead a career as band director for Louisiana

State University (LSU). “He was the man,” describes Jeffries.

After graduating in 1956, Jeffries attended Pierce Business School in Philadelphia, later moving to Linwood where he and his wife Kathy got married. He sold furniture for Platt’s and briefly worked for Howard Stainton before moving on to a successful career as a State Farm Insurance agent in 1962. For many years afterward, Jim was a very active member of his local Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and Board of Education. He also served as the president of New Jersey Jaycees.

Today, he and his wife split their time between their residence in Asbury Park and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. While Mr. Jeffries is no longer a resident, he still refers to Ocean City as his beloved birthplace.

“Some people can’t wait to forget where they grew up. That wasn’t my experience.”

“The Bat Rat Kid: Growing Up in Ocean City 1940-1950” is available for purchase at Sun Rose Words & Music, Bird’s Eye View at Staintons, and the Kindle store on Amazon. You can also find copies on loan at the Ocean City Free Public Library, where Mr. Jeffries will share his stories during a Virtual Book Talk scheduled for Monday, November 30th at 7pm.

A Senior’s Observations, Opinions and Rantings

“Where are you now?”

Senior Moments by Charles P. Eberson

I

wrote in a previous column some months ago regarding the technician at my doctor’s office asking me to answer a few questions before my physician came in.

“Had I fallen in the last six months? Do I ever feel anxious or depressed? Have I been hospitalized in the last six months?” I have come to accept that these are routine questions for someone in my age bracket, so I anticipated a similar line of questioning at this visit which, in fact, was the case. Who today with what is going on in the news, isn’t feeling anxious and/or depressed but for the sake of my medical records, I played it down.

Then she asked me what year it was.

I was so startled by the question, I reflexively blurted out 2010! I could see her reaction even behind her mask and I quickly corrected myself. I was shaken and the hamster wheel started spinning. She then asked what state, county and city I was in which thank goodness I didn’t flub up. She told me three words and asked that I repeat them back to her. That was easy. “Spell WORLD backwards.” No problem. “Do you know where you are?” Now I fall back into my default overthinking mode. I already told her what state, county, city I was in. Was this a trick question? What was she

up to? I hesitantly answered, “my doctor’s office” which apparently was the answer she was looking for. I was then given a blank piece of paper and asked to write a complete sentence.

I wrote, “I can’t believe I have to do this” which brought no reaction whatsoever. Then she asked me what the three words were she asked me to repeat in the beginning. With my head spinning at all of this I did not remember any of them. I wanted to say I was listening to her like a husband does but I don’t think that would have sat well with her. The interview continued with her handing me piece of paper with a line drawing of two into locking pentagons. She asked me to draw the same thing which I did and proudly handed the paper back to her. “What is the month, day and date today.” I don’t think a twenty

something individual would grasp what the retirement world is like.

With no deadlines, no schedule, no Monday through Friday grind, every day is Sunday. The only dates that are worth remembering are birthdays and anniversaries. Mercifully, days flow by without me even marking the passage of time but since I knew the month, day and date of my appointment I was able to answer correctly.

Finally, the interrogation was over, she packed up her notes and turned to me and said, “lets take your blood pressure.”

Billy Walton Band Rocks Internationally the potential to start his own band.

“The music scene in New Jersey is like a family. A lot of people play in other bands. It’s a different kind of atmosphere. I have known most of the guys for a long time and I know they can play. I met them out gigging, they sat in a couple times and we just put the band together just like that”, explains Walton. Although the band has seen numerous members throughout the years, their success has only increased. The band currently consists of William Paris (bass guitar), Tom Petraccaro (Sax), Eric Safka (Hammond B3), Bruce Krywinski Jr

he Billy Walton Band is an acclaimed five-piece band straight out of South Jersey that have found unprecedented global success. Initially forming in 2007, the Billy Walton Band began big, touring Europe from the outset and building a loyal international fanbase. Even with their international success, the band has never forgotten where they came from and symbolically wave their New Jersey flag wherever they go. This is a band whose roots are firmly grounded at the Jersey Shore, something that they are proud of. Front man and the only consistent member since its formation, Billy Walton, grew up playing at the Shore for several years before writing his own music and putting his own band together. I recently had the opportunity to speak to the charismatic front man about their latest album, Dark Hour, their success in Europe, and where fans can listen to them live.

Talking to Billy, the first thing that you notice is his laidback and easy-going personality. The band was formed after Billy got the Photo by John Loreaux chance to work with several of the original members on various projects.

in the area for their genre. What is their genre? Well, Walton says that depends who is listening. “That’s really up to the listener. Every album has been a little bit different. Our last record is very ‘rocking’. A couple of albums before had hints of soul and blues. We kind of straddle blues rock, rock and rock, or Jersey rock, I should say, and jam band. We straddle three different genres and have done festivals for all three” he clarifies.

This is perhaps the Billy Walton Band’s most ambitious project yet, diverting from their usual happy and upbeat melodies. My personal favorite record from the album, “Can’t love no one”, was written from the perspective of someone leaving a relationship.

As Walton explained, people usually write from perspective of being left

Extra Points with Pete Sports & Entertainment

A: “The greatest game show host of my lifetime” Q: “Who is Alex Trebek?”

Sad news for sure that Alex Trebek has lost his battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Through the magic of television, we’ll have him on our screens until Christmas Day when his last taped episode will air.

Since I last wrote, the Eagles survived perhaps their worst half of football against the Dallas Cowboys to then turn around and rally to win in the final two quarters. Plus, they’re getting healthy on the BYE week. The Sixers made a huge hire in their front office, bringing in Daryl Morey from Houston as their new President of Basketball Operations. The Phillies have a finalist for the National League Rookie of the Year award. Finally, the Flyers have a pretty big fan who’s go-

ing to list 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as his address soon. A former Flyer is also inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame.

From the entertainment world, tributes to the late Alex Trebek continue to pour in. Plus, CBS makes a significant announcement about casting on reality shows like “Survivor” and “Big Brother”. As always though, we begin with sports, and my thoughts: ● I’ll start with the Eagles as they were downright putrid in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” on November 1st.

trailed 9-7 at the half to Ben DiNucci and the lowly Cowboys.

Thankfully, Travis Fulgham came to the rescue, capping off a 3rd quarter drive to put the Eagles back in front to stay. Fulgham has been the “surprise” of the season so far, as he continues to demand more playing time and puts up great numbers each week out.

There is still a legitimate concern about what’s wrong with Carson Wentz this season. Once again, he looked sloppy with the football, throwing two interceptions and fumbling away the football twice.

This is year number FIVE for the Eagles QB, not his first year. Can these problems be fixed? All the players stayed around during the BYE week, so let’s hope Carson spent some extra time watching film and realizes that he can’t be a hero on every play!

Speaking of the BYE week, how crazy is this? The Eagles didn’t play last Sunday and yet they actually improved in the NFC East standings. The Cowboys lost to Pittsburgh, and the Washington Football Team got beat by the Giants. So that means the Eagles at 3-4-1 actually gained some ground

on the rest of the division with a .438 winning percentage as compared to .250 for Washington and .222 for the Giants and Cowboys.

Up next, at the Giants this Sunday and then at the Cleveland Browns.

Remember, the Giants are coming off a win over Washington and the Browns are 5-3 so far in a strong AFC North. After those games, things turn really tough for the Birds, so my take is to see if the healthier Eagles can make some hay in the next two games before they get into arguably the toughest portion of their schedule this season.

My last Eagles point is about their health. Miles Sanders is finally back healthy and ready to contribute as the dual running and pass catching threat that the Eagles drafted out of Penn State. Lane Johnson appears healthy and ready to step back into his right tackle role. Dallas Goedert admitted that he wasn’t 100% against the Cowboys, but after a bye week, he should be back to full capability. That’s the good news. Alshon Jeffery is the big question mark. Will he start against the Giants? Or will the

Eagles finally be able to just “wash their hands” of him and put him on injured reserve for the rest of the season? Alshon playing the “will he or won’t he game” ticks me off because he’s taking up a roster spot on a team that needs all the available help it can get!

Boy oh boy did the Sixers make some major news between the last time I wrote and now. Hiring Daryl Morey almost immediately after he announced that he would be leaving his position with the Houston Rockets. Morey is a proven NBA executive and he will now become the Sixers President of Basketball Operations. He’s the guy that’s going to give Doc Rivers the pieces to win, but will he ship out one of the “big two” in Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons? Early indications are that he is completely enamored with having a piece like Joel Embiid, so I’d say no to that part. And for the folks that are dreaming of James Harden coming here in exchange for Simmons, I’d say keep dreaming.

For all the things he might not possess on offense (like a solid 3-point shot), Ben Simmons is one of the best defensive players in the league right now. Pairing him with Joel Embiid seems like a priority for Morey.

●

●

Morey’s genius is going to come as we watch to see what he does with players that have not exactly “fit” in Philadelphia. How will he handle a Tobias Harris or Al Horford, both of whom have huge contracts and never have seemed to find their role with the Sixers?

All I know is this, in the last 13 years, Morey built the Ocean City football players holding up the trophy they Houston Rockets into the won by beating Mainland in their rivalry game. second-winningest team in the Western Conference and ● The Phillies had to like what they he has a reputation as one of the saw out of young 3rd baseman more creative executives around Alec Bohm this season.

We’ll have to see if he and the new First Lady make an appearance at the Wells Fargo Center once play resumes to normal. Wouldn’t that be a sight? Gritty hamming it up with the President?

The other piece of Flyers news is a tip of the cap to former tough guy and forward Rick Tocchet.

Tocchet had two stints with the Orange & Black and was one of 16 people inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame the other day. Known for his penalty minutes early in his career, Tocchet eventually morphed into one of the best power forwards in the NHL. During an 18 season career, Tocchet amassed 440 goals, 512 assists, and 952 points in 1,144 regular-season games. In 145 postseason games, he posted 52 goals, 60 assists, and 112 points. But here’s my favorite stat – Tocchet leads the Flyers in “Gordie Howe Hat Tricks” with nine! For those of you who might not know, a “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” is when a player has a fight, scores a goal, and has an assist all in the same game.

his election season has made way for a rollercoaster of emotions, thoughts, and questions for most of us. It seems as though everywhere we turn there is another political conversation, whether on TV, radio or among our friends and family. With so much attention on politics over the last several months, it is inevitable that our children will get wind of the political climate.

Social media connected children may even become aware of breaking news before we do. We live in a world of constant information, which means it is without question that our children will be seeking clarification on certain things. While I know many parents who choose to shelter their young children from any talks of politics, many families do choose to include their children in the conversation.

Personally, I am very open with my kids and as a homeschooling parent this year, I used the election season to

teach my two children about government, history, and politics. In doing so, I’ve found the following tips valuable.

Ask Them Questions One of the most valuable questions I regularly ask my children is, “what do you think about this?” In my greatest attempts not to impart my own biases or let them know how I feel, I ask them how they feel about certain topics. I remind them that there are no wrong answers, that they do not have to have it all figured out, and that I value and respect however they feel. This opens up lines of communication about a variety of topics. Usually, once they explain their own perspective, I will offer my own so that we can have a two-way conversation.

The follow-up question is, “How does that make you feel?” Sometimes they can identify their feelings, while other times they shoulder-shrug. Regardless of their response, we always leave the door open on the topic. I let them know that if they want to talk about how it makes them feel at any point in the future, the conversation is open-ended. I am constantly amazed at what my children can teach me when my mind is open and they have the floor.

Read Kid-Friendly Books The "What Was...?" series is a great way to introduce various topics. The New York Times best-selling books offer digestible topics and

thought-provoking questions for school-aged children. We just finished reading "What Is a Presidential Election?" Through reading this book, my kids were challenged to think deeply about what characteristics they think a president should have and what platforms matter most to them.

There are countless other books available to discuss election season with our children. Some titles include The Little Book of Presidential Elections and A Vote Is a Powerful Thing.

A quick search on Amazon offers a long list of books to choose from for varying age groups.

Keep The Main Thing One of the main reasons that I choose to discuss politics with my children is because it opens the door to discuss our family morals and values. It allows me a chance to talk to them about the things they think are “right” or “wrong.” I make it a point to remind them that they do not have to agree with me and that when they are old enough to vote, that they should cast their vote based on what is most important to them, not me. They may see life differently than I do when the time comes and that’s okay! It’s important to me that they have their own voice.

That being said, there are specific values that I want to instill in them including empathy for others, the importance of how we choose our words, and how we show up for ourselves and others. Talking about these things through the election

season has given our family an opportunity to discuss our core values.

Discuss Biases and Conflict Introducing kids to the idea of biases is an open invitation to encourage them to think critically. No matter which way you may personally lean politically, it is without a doubt true that varying news sources show the same story in several different lights. Use this as an opportunity to discuss critical thinking and truth-seeking. Pick a topic that is age-appropriate for your child and show them how there can always be another perspective.

This also reinforces the idea of empathy, reminding them that everyone has a different life perspective.

In addition to thinking critically,

this is a great opportunity to teach kids that conflict is not inherently negative. Conflict can be a good thing when handled with decency and respect for one another.

Empower Young Leaders Our children are the leaders of tomorrow. As we discuss policies, elections, and the power of democracy, look for ways to encourage future leaders. Pinterest has a world of crafts that explain all things government in a kid-friendly manner. I find that creativity opens up thoughts and conversation topics that reading books does not, and vice versa.

Encourage these bright young leaders to come up with a campaign slogan that they would use if they ran

Seven Theaters with Leather Reclining Seats

for president. Allow it to be silly and playful or serious and thought-provoking. My 10 year old’s campaign slogan is “Meow Like a Cat, Woof Like A Dog.” I mean, she would definitely get my vote. Allow them to design bumper stickers or pins for when they one day run for elected office.

Most of all, just remember that our children are bright, intelligent, and inherently kind little humans. We have the power to guide them in a way that encourages leadership and courage.

When they make their way out into the world, it is these moments that they will remember and how we kept them safe, secure and informed.

Stay safe, stay kind, and shop local this holiday season.

Shore Collectibles

By Douglas Keefe, President of Beachcomber Coins

L

ast weeks’ article covered the Peace dollar series, minted from 1921 until 1935 and how this short period of minting provides an opportunity to assemble a complete collection of all dates and mints at a relatively low price. For those of you who don’t understand a collector’s focus, they want a complete collection, be it a series of coins, a year set of cards or a type set of currency.

The predecessor to the Peace dollars was the Morgan dollars, named after its; designer, George Morgan (who last week I called him Charles Morgan, mixing his name up with that of Charles Barber, designer of the Barber series of dimes, quarters and half dollars of the era). The Morgan dollars were minted continuously from 1878 until 1904 and then once more in 1921 when it was replaced by the Peace dollar, which was to commemorate the peace after the end of World War I. During that period 5 mints, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Carson City, and only during 1921, Denver, struck dollar coins, and some years 4 mint churned out coins, resulting in a lot of different date and mint combinations to collect if one were interested in assembling a complete set.

A complete set from 1878 to 1921 is comprised of 97 coins (98 if you were to count the 1895 dollar of which only 880 coins were minted and in proof condition and only for collectors, since none were released for circulation). While 97 coins is formidable number, it is not as difficult as one might imagine as the majority could be purchased for under $50 if a circulated set were to be assembled.

This is because during most years large quantities of coins were struck at all mints, the exception being the Carson City Mint which always struck fewer coins than the others. Even so, some Carson City minted dollars can be purchased for under $100. The coins that would cost over $100 are as follows: 1878-CC; 1879-CC; 1880CC; 1881-CC; 1885-CC; 1889-CC; 1890-CC; 1892-CC; 1893; 1893-CC; 1893-O; 1894; 1895-O; 1895-S; 1899 AND 1903-O. The most expensive coin would be the 1893-S which

would cost over $1000. If you were to be adventurous and wished to add the 1895 dollar to your collection, be prepared to write a check for over $20,000.

As with the Peace dollar set, an easier (and cheaper) way to go is to assemble a date set, that is selecting one of the cheapest dollars for each year from 1878 to 1921 (no dollars were minted from 1905 to 1920) which would be only 28 coins. A year collection would be comprised of mostly coins in the $50 or less range with only the years 1893 and 1895 requiring an expenditure of over $100.

Very doable.

Rare 1895 Morgan Dollar. Good Luck Getting This One

An even shorter set, and a relatively inexpensive one is to assemble a mint set, that is one coin from each of the mints that struck Morgan dollars, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Carson City and Denver.

This can easily be done by purchasing uncirculated coins, the only one valued at over $100 would be a Carson City dollar dated 1882, 1883 or 1884 which can be purchased at a little over $200. The Denver mint only struck dollars in 1921, but because they struck over 20 million coins, the coins are plentiful in uncirculated condition and inexpensive.

Fall Cleanups

History Discovered A "Hidden" Cemetery in Estell Manor Park -The Smith Ireland Cemetery

T

he Smith family once lived in what is now Estell Manor Park and near the cemetery is the foundation of the original Smith house. This cemetery contains the remains of members of the Smith and Ireland families.

One of the graves is of a Revolutionary War soldier Japhet Ireland, who died February 20, 1810, at age 66. A fence now encloses the small cemetery, reportedly because the ground is "spongy" and believed to be sinking. The dates on the cemetery plots may go back as far as the 1700s. The stones and dates are

worn and difficult to read. However, one clearly read "John Smith." If you'd like to check it out, it is within proximity to the artesian well and remains of the Bethlehem Loading Company.

Preventive Epidemic Protocol with Micro Nutrition

By Sam V. Jonuzi ND

I

n an effort to help the community I am putting this information out; convinced that micro nutrition protocols must be utilized to confine , protect, ameliorate and most importantly, prevent the COVID outbreak. Nutritional deficiency affects the immune response to infections. Utilizing micro nutrition and Bio-oxidative therapies against this pandemic virus is not rejection of conventional medicine, IT IS COMMON SENSE. Nutritional deficiencies affect the immune system's response to infections. Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium and Zinc are essential to fight all viruses.

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is an essential vitamin. Humans do not have the capacity to manufacture Vitamin C and therefore it must be supplied by the diet. It is well documented that Vitamin

C is rapidly depleted during infections.

Low levels of vitamin C are associated with respiratory tract infections.

Therefore dealing with a serious respiratory disease like COVID we know that vitamin C is essential and capable of preventing the inflammatory “cytokine storms� associated with infections. It is also well documented that vitamin D, Magnesium and Zinc have a prominent role in immune system function as well. Vitamin D directly regulates the expression of up to 1250 genes that in turn can enhance immunity. Approximately 800 enzyme systems require Magnesium for optimal function as a co-factor in immune system response.

Zinc deficiency rapidly diminishes antibody cell mediated responses and is linked to immune dysfunction. As we face epidemic diseases we must not limit the fight to drugs and vaccines when strong evidence exists to support the need for micro nutritional therapy.

We need methods that work not fear,

making the immune system weaker.

Vitamin C was first recorded by Jungerbuld in 1935 to be effective at eradicating the influenza virus and had a prominent role in containing and treating the outbreak of SARS in traditional medicine. Dr. Cheng, a member of the medical and scientific advisory board to the International Intravenous Vitamin C Council, announced from China clinical trials for prevention and treatment of Coronavirus with vitamin C. He has been approved and is successfully conducting three clinical trials with astounding results. The answer as to why China, the originator of the COVID pandemic and the most populated region of the world, has the Coronavirus under control is their use of a Vitamin C protocol on a national scale. There are a great number of scientists around the globe that recommend micro nutrition to boost immunity as the first line of defense. Logically, this should be the accepted treatment not only since there

are no other promising options but for its safety and effectiveness.

My opinion is that micro nutritional cocktails could assure a shield against a viral outbreak.

Time is of the essence to prevent physical and economic death and destruction. We are in the midst of a viral pandemic and must not limit the fight to drugs and vaccines alone especially where strong evidence exists to support micro nutritional therapy having only positive effects.

The information in this article is designed to shed light and hope to everyone affected by the consequences of this global crisis. We can all have confidence in safe, natural methods that work not panic and fear.
