Lawyer Jailed For 10 Years For Stealing From Elderly Clients
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – He called the actions of the now-disgraced former attorney “heinous.” He “preyed upon the elderly, weak and infirm.” Superior Court Judge Michael Collins described the actions of Robert Novy that way Oct. 26, before sentencing Novy to 10 years in prison for stealing millions from his elderly clients. Novy can appeal the sentence, part of his plea deal with the state. He must serve more than three years before he can be considered for parole. Novy, back in July, admitted guilt to stealing millions from vulnerable elderly clients who entrusted him with their finances. In courtroom 16 in Ocean County, the public learned he stole and destroyed much more. And those family members feel that they bear the guilt. They all wore yellow ca r nat ions to show

Mr. Novy insists I am not family. I like this definition of
family: ‘what defines family is not solely blood relation. Family consists of the people who support and love you, and the people
you can confide in and trust.’ Mr. Novy is not family. I never asked for what was in the will, I never expected it. My (Lawyer - See Page 9)
Finances, Open Space, Jobs And Drug Epidemic Shape Freeholder Race
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Four men are facing off for two, three-year terms on the Board of Chosen Freeholders, the body that governs the day-to-day operations of Ocean County. Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little is running for re-election. Gary Quinn is taking John Bartlett’s place on the Republican
side after Bartlett announced his retirement. They vow to continue providing services to residents while being fiscally responsible. Democrats Teddy Price and Vince Minichino are challenging them. They said they want to increase the county’s efforts in bringing in jobs and fighting the opioid epidemic. Currently, the
five-member Freeholder board are all Republicans. Each candidate was given the same list of questions, and instructed not to make negative attacks on the competition. Their answers are below, edited for narrative flow. The candidates are presented in the order their responses were received. (Race - See Page 4)

School, Closed For Mold, Also Needs To Remove Asbestos
By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Lakehurst Elementary School students and staff won’t be returning to the building until Jan. 2, school officials said. Superintendent Loren Fuhring confirmed with The Manchester Times that mold remediation continues, but some unexpected fi ndings pushed the reopening back from Nov. 12 to 2019. The superintendent said all the carpets in the building needed to be removed, which revealed asbestos tiling underneath in about 27 classrooms. That abatement has pushed back the reopening. “Preschoolers and kindergarteners may return earlier, however we are awaiting information on the asbestos abatement plan before confirming this to ensure the safety and well-being of our students,” Fuhring said in an email to The Manchester Times. The cost of remediation, when the plan was to have the school ready by mid-November, (School - See Page 8)

development, not residential, he said. “I want to offer tax abatements for small, medium and large businesses. We have to offer incentives to businesses to bring jobs to Ocean County instead of tax breaks to builders for multifamily housing,” he said. “Overdevelopment in Ocean County is out of control.” Part of his plan would be to implement a rate of growth ordinance. This would cause builders to make long-term commitments to the community they build in. Vince Minichino, Brick, is a lifelong resident of Ocean County and is the business agent and trustee for Teamster Local 469. He has coached a Brick Little League team, and volunteered with the Jersey Shore Council of the Jersey Shore, and was a rider with the American Legion Motorcycle Riders Association. “The most important issue facing our county, and our country, is the opioid epidemic,” he said. “For too long Ocean County and Monmouth County, our neighbor to the north, have been ground zero for the opioid crisis in New Jersey. “Progress has been made. First responders routinely carry naloxone, which can bring drug users close to death back to life. But the real answer is not preventing deaths by overdose, it is preventing the use and abuse that leads to these overdoses,” he continued. “There is no magic bullet, and I know that schools, parents and other agencies are trying to prevent the drug abuse. My proposal is we work with the County Board of Health as follows:

erans and seniors, parks, an award-winning library system, state-of-the-art vocational-technical schools and an exceptional community college all contribute to providing our residents with an outstanding quality of life,” they said. Teddy Price, Toms River, is a lineman for PSE&G, and is a shop steward for IBEW local 94. He has been a coach and volunteer for the Toms River Soccer Association, and president of the Toms River East Booster Club. He is an active volunteer and donor to the ASPCA, and donor to Saint Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. “I never held public office. I believe that’s a good thing,” he said. “We need to drain the swamp by removing these lifetime politicians from the freeholder office.” If elected, he would create an Economic Development Authority. This group would have the power to pair municipalities with businesses that want to relocate to Ocean County. “In Burlington County, the EDA brought in Amazon, Suzuki and a large distribution center for retailer B&M, creating thousands of good paying jobs,” he said. There’s been no previous effort to bring strong businesses to the county, he said. This forces residents to commute to work. “Our children graduate with skills and degrees, then they leave because they can’t find good paying jobs here,” he said. “Ocean County residents deserve good paying jobs closer to home. Wages paid in Ocean County are the lowest in the state.” Ocean County needs more commercial

for their goals for the next three years. They want to continue the government that has provided the county with its extremely good AAA bond rating, and having the fourth-lowest property taxes in the state. A bond rating is like a credit score for the county. It allows the county to borrow money at a lower rate because lenders know the county is in good financial shape. “Ocean County is home to more than 42,000 veterans, more than any other county in New Jersey. These brave men and women have made great sacrifices for our nation and our freedom. Now, it is our turn to ensure that they receive all the benefits to which they are entitled,” they said. Currently, Little serves as the liaison to the Ocean County Bureau of Veterans Services and thanks each one of our veterans for their service. “Preserving open space has been another priority for the Board of Freeholders,” the statement read. “To date, our Natural Lands Trust Fund has protected more than 16,000 acres of open space throughout the county. Just recently, the Board agreed to purchase the Forked River Mountains tract in Lacey and Ocean townships, which will add another 8,000 acres of pristine pinelands to the protected list. The county also operates one the finest public parks systems in the state. Planning in now underway for a new county park in Manchester Township.

Fuhring said costs are unknown at this point. “There is no estimate at this time, as there are still many costs that have not been specified,” the superintendent said. “We are still in the midst of determining many needs of the project, costs associated for the work, as well as replacement of items and materials lost. In addition, we are working closely with our insurance carrier, ServPro and TTI Environmental to continue to determine the best course of action.” The K-8 school district has been holding class in several different locations - St. John’s Roman Catholic Church, Whiting Elementary School, Ridgeway Elementary

Most doctors are careful and appropriate with their prescriptions, but too many legally prescribed drugs end up being abused. • Educate the parents. Schools attempt to teach students the dangers of drugs, but many students aren’t paying attention, and
many parents do not attend the educational seminars available to them. The county should be inventive in disseminating information - information enclosed in tax bills, information through social media, and a speaker bureau available to make short presentations at public meetings. • Put the high level drug dealers in jail.

Smith, Welle Compete For 4th District Congressional Seat
The Republican and Democrat candidates for the 4th Congressional District were asked to write a statement to voters about why they are the best choice. As of press time, Congressman Chris Smith did not respond. Challenger Josh Welle’s statement is presented here: The core of who I am is grounded in a foundation of service instilled in me by my mother and father. Public servants, they taught me what it means to serve, and I kept those lessons with me throughout my life. I grew up in Wall and my whole life revolved around teams, whether it be on sports, or working various jobs around the shore. When I graduated high school, I had the opportunity to combine my love of country with my love of teams by joining the team of all teams at the U.S. Naval Academy. Four years later, on my way to class, the World Trade Center was attacked. My classmates and I deployed for over a decade, taking part in Operation
Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and other missions which kept America safe abroad. When I returned home, I married my wife Angela, transferred to the Navy Reserve, and founded a software company. I served in the private sector for two years, but as I watched the news with increasing trepidation, I became concerned with the direction our country was heading. The 2016 election was a turning point for me. I no longer felt I could sit on the sidelines, and once again I felt the call to serve my country - this time out of uniform. It was time for me to defend at home the values and principles which my

It would have been nice to send her cousins some of the photographs they had taken,” Siobhan Hutchinson shared in a prepared statement she sent to Jersey Shore Online. She spoke briefly to the court that Friday, the only family member of a victim to speak. There were reportedly family members from two other victims in the courtroom. “There was no closure, only a bag of guilt for seven years that I could not do more for them.” From the age of 8, Hutchinson was raised by Lucas Ksayian, her mother’s husband, who was a father to her in every way but biologically she said. His brother and wife, Uncle Haig and Aunt Sunny, were actively involved in their lives. Although Hutchinson admitted their family hardly resembled that shown on “The Donna Reed Show,” and that Haig and Sunny were not the warm, loving types. “The greatest gift they gave me was to be mentioned in their will. It was not the money, it was a clear acknowledgment that they saw me, they considered me family,” Hutchinson said. “It was $10,000 and, if they had given me less, I still would be grateful.” Sunny and Haig lived private, modest lives. When Hutchinson was working to

I am not the only veteran who has felt this call to service, and across the nation we are seeing former service members stepping up to serve once again. Just as I fought abroad, I will fight here at home to protect our modern American values.

Back in 2011, Sunny was sick and in and out of the hospital and rehab. Haig, who shared a home with his wife in Forked River, at age 92 still drove up and down the Parkway to visit her at Community Medical Center. Several years earlier, a banker at their local Wells Fargo had suggested the couple employ the services of attorney Robert Novy to get their affairs in order. They did. Hutchinson had also introduced her aunt and uncle to a geriatric care manager who had helped her parents with their move to Florida. The manager did meet with the couple and Hutchinson to get their affairs in order, and did request a meeting with Novy. Hutchinson said they never heard back from the attorney. That July, the manager set up a cleaning service for Haig and Sunny’s home, as well as a home health company for in-house support. However, before the month was out, Haig changed his mind, that he didn’t want any help in his home, Hutchinson said. He dismissed the care manager as well. “I realized my uncle was still able to

make his own choices, he understood the situation, and probably had a mixture of old-world stubbornness and fear of the loss of control. I withdrew and decided to let things cool down,” Hutchinson said. “Perhaps, I let too much time pass.” She attempted to speak with her uncle in October at his home. Not getting in touch with him, she called the last known rehabilitation center her aunt was at, and was curtly told no information could be given and to contact their attorney. Robert Novy. They fi nally spoke on Nov. 14. Her aunt, she was told, was in poor health. Her uncle was dead. He died two days earlier. Novy told her that Haig had said she was not family, and did not wish to see her. Did her aunt knew her husband was dead? No. Can I accompany you to tell her? No. Hutchinson said she would sign over whatever she was entitled to from her aunt and uncle’s property. She just wanted answers, wanted to make sure her aunt was okay. No. Hutchinson knew her aunt and uncle had a home in Waretown. She drove there and knocked on the door, and had a health aide slam the door in her face, before opening it again and throwing a cell phone at her. On the line was a woman from Novy’s office, yelling at Hutchinson that she was trespassing and that the Ocean Township Police were being called. She said Novy
told her he was going to have her banned from entering the 55+ gated adult community. The care manager, in the meantime, reportedly received an angry letter from Novy’s office, accusing her and Hutchinson of “ransacking” Haig and Sunny’s home, and abandoning them. Hutchinson’s father died shortly thereafter, and she brought her mother back to New Jersey to live with her. Family could not get in touch with Sunny at all. Sunny died two years later. “…And as far as I know she died alone, with probably only a home health aide by her side or perhaps at a hospital. I don’t know. I did not know until just recently where they are interred. There was no service for either one of them that I know of,” Hutchinson said. “What kind of society are we that something like this could happen and does happen frequently?” Novy, 67, of Brick, was a prominent Ocean County attorney who hosted his own radio show geared toward helping seniors. He taught seminars on elder law. He stole millions of dollars from those the public and clients thought he was helping. The victims that the state is aware of mostly had no close family, and in some cases, were in poor health, like those suffering from dementia. He had an ethics complaint slapped (Lawyer - See Page 30)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor Smith Doesn’t Even Live In NJ Congressional representatives must have their finger on the pulse of the district they serve, even if they reside in areas physically distant from their district. It is nothing short of imperative that representatives know their constituents’ issues, hear their concerns, and engage in meaningful dialogue with those they represent. Chris Smith is the representative for the 4th Congressional District of NJ. He lives in Virginia, but maintains a small apartment in NJ. Unfortunately, Chris Smith has been comfortably absent from his home district. In fact, many years he spent fewer than 30 nights in NJ. Hardly enough time to hear his diverse constituents clearly, I’d say! It’s customary for politicians to participate in town hall meetings during an election season. It’s a critical for um for hearing each candidates’ viewpoints and issues in some detail. Chris Smith refuses to attend or participate in public debates, forums, or town hall meetings. This is in stark contrast with Josh Welle who has crisscrossed the district, shared his viewpoints, listened to constituents’ concerns, and familiarized himself with the diverse population he represents. It’s time to elect a represen-
tative who’s not a phantom presence. I want a representative I can see and hear, one who hears me. Our representatives are not entitled to our vote. They need to earn it. On November 6th I will vote for Josh Welle. I hope you will, too. Aliza Greenblatt Ocean Grove

What I did see is a person seriously lacking basic knowledge on how Medicare and Social Security function. Andy Kim could not answer the simplest questions regarding healthcare for seniors and he kept looking to his “special guest” for answers. His special guest was a political spokesman from Los Angeles, CA, who interrupted questions and barely let Mr. Kim speak. It seems that Andy Kim is just going through the motions trying to get the senior vote, while running nasty, untrue attack ads about Congressman MacArthur. In stark contrast, Tom MacArthur has done in-

credible work for seniors. His office is well-known for helping constituents. They returned almost $5 million from the Social Security Administration due to seniors in Ocean and Burlington counties. He was named a “Champion of Medicare” by the Coalition for Medicare Choices. MacArthur helped bring millions of dollars to Deborah Heart and Lung Center every year, which will literally save lives. And most importantly, Congressman MacArthur is here. He’s accessible to us – he visits our communities and our picnics - and not just during election season. Congressman MacArthur has a proven track record for seniors and I hope he gets re-elected this November! Gary Ristaino Berkeley
Smith Ignores Those Who Are Not Like Him The day after Donald Trump was inaugurated as president, I joined with millions of people and walked in the Women’s March to protest his demeaning attitude toward women, exemplified by his infamous “p----” remarks. My congressman, Chris Smith had not spoken out to defend me and all the women in his constituency, so I walked to make myself heard. When Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Accord, my congressman, Chris Smith supported this action in a partisan way, saying that he agreed with the withdrawal, calling the Accord “all-pain, no-gain.” I believe that the environment needs our most urgent attention, so I walked in the Climate March to express my concern, since my congressman would not support the wishes of his constituency. When the Trump administration decided to put a ban on travelers to our country based on their religion, Smith, a tireless supporter

Teacher Makes Case For Manchester Board Of Ed. My name is Bryan Jenner and I am proud to be a candidate for the Manchester Township Board of Education. I have been in education all of my life, both as a student and as an educator. I received my Bachelor of Music Education degree from the Crane School of Music, State University of New York at Potsdam in 1985. I received my Master of Education degree, with a concentration in Curriculum Development in 2013 from Monmouth University. I started teaching in 1985 on Long Island and came to New Jersey to teach in February of 1989. I taught until June of 2017 when I retired as an elementary music teacher with the South Amboy Public Schools. In 2009, I became the Director of Pep Band and Instrumental Ensembles at Monmouth University and an adjunct professor within the music and theatre arts department. In 2017, I transferred to the School of Education to become a Clinical Faculty Supervisor in Music Education where I now supervise clinical practice students, formerly called student teachers, throughout the state of New Jersey for Monmouth University. I moved to Manchester in 2003 and my oldest son Christopher is a 2010 graduate of Manchester Township High School. My young-
to graduate in 2020 from MTHS. One of the most important things in the life of any community is its schools. We in Manchester need to provide the very best educational programs for our children. We need to provide a safe and secure learning environment and we need to prepare our students for a life in the 21st century whereupon they are creative, innovative, critical thinkers and can work collaboratively in the exploration of their curiosity. We must be fiscally responsible by adhering to the most efficient, yet thorough budget and we must explore alternative financing solutions so as to not over burden our residents with exorbitant school taxes and petition the State of New Jersey to explore and re-evaluate the current school funding formula as it relates to state aid. We should continue to explore the opportunity to share additional resources with our neighbors and we should support our educators who are entrusted with instructing the children of our community. While every candidate wants what is best for our school district, I feel you should look at the people who will best represent the interests of our district and township over the next three years and those that have the experience in the area of education and educational programs. Should I be elected, I look forward to becoming an active participant as a member of the Board of Education and making sure that we afford our students every opportunity to succeed and support our educators who are tasked to work with and mold the minds of our most precious commodities, our children. I hope to have Manchester be the model that other districts aspire towards in providing the best education available, while also being fiscally responsible to our community and its citizens. Thank you. Bryan H. Jenner Manchester
Republicans Have Enhanced Howell’s Way Of Life
I have been a volunteer municipal official in Howell for half a century. I have seen Howell grow from a population of 5,000 to 50,000. I have been appointed to boards and commissions by both parties. It is my opinion that the Republican Party has over the years succeeded in pursuing the zoning that has kept the Lakewood style housing from expanding into Howell. Republicans have preserved over 900 acres of open space though farmland preservation. In the area adjacent to Lakewood there has been virtually no development. The Republican Party under past leadership of John Costigan was instrumental in keeping the “Rural character of Howell” Our roads are the best maintained in the county. We have, through the leadership of Robert Walsh, the fi nest and most beautiful municipal building in the county and perhaps the state. Republican leadership gave us the recreation at Soldiers Field. Our shade tree commission, Environmental Commission, Boards of Adjustment and Planning Board are made up of the fi nest and most ethical volunteers in the country. Any developments that have been built for Affordable Housing was mandatory by the State of NJ and not the Howell Republicans. We have a police Department that makes us one of the safest towns in the nation. Our Senior program is the best in the county. No municipal government is perfect. Why change good government when it is not broken? Please don’t play into the prejudice that the Republican Par ty is planning “Lakewood style development.” It is simply not true.

If you are happy with the Howell community that you live in and your quality of life then you should vote Republican. Paul Schneider R.Ph. Howell
The Manchester Times, November 3, 2018, Page 11 obstruct Democrats are all about. Michael Hale Bayville Editor’s note: The PolitiFact article did not mention Kim, but was in reference to other Democrats.
Debunking Kim’s Claims
Watch School Taxes, And State Aid
A recent debate between Congressman Tom MacArthur and Democrat challenger Andy Kim had two main takeaways for me. The first was the question of Mr. Kim’s spin on his positions in both the Bush and Obama administrations. Without questioning his service to the country, the Washington Post awarded Kim two “Pinocchios” for, in their evaluation, “stretching his resume to elastic extremes by claiming he was a national security officer for a Republican president,” and “seems like a classic example of resume puffery.” Mr. Kim is obviously an intelligent man, but stretching the facts about his background was foolish on his part. The second takeaway was his relying on the Democrat playbook strategy of trying to frighten senior voters concerning Congressman MacArthur’s role in attempting to fix Obamacare. PolitiFact, a noted fact checker on candidates, stated in a recent fact check article that Kim’s and other Democrats claims “mimics attacks we’ve seen against Republicans, omitting the caveats: This provision (the so called age tax) applied to people buying insurance on the individual and smallgroup markets. It did not apply to seniors on Medicare, or people 50 and older with coverage sponsored by large employers. Current law (Obamacare) allows insurers to charge older adults three times what they charge younger adults.” (PolitiFact author Miriam Valverde, 9/19/2018) In both Kim’s and his supporting group’s campaign f lyers and phone calls, pitching distortions to frighten seniors about Medicare is both unconscionable and just dead wrong. This is what the resist and
Lacey taxpayers need to take an interest in what goes on in Trenton because of its direct effect on our local school budget. A serious meeting with the Governor is in order. If you think the school budget is tight now, just wait for the rest of Phil Murphy’s anticipated reductions in State School Aid. Now here’s the math of it all….. The 2018-2019 Lacey School budget started out in May at $76.6 million. Then Gov. Phil asked for $583K to be returned - leaving the District with $76.1. Since the health benefit costs did not rise the full amount budgeted, the district was able to chop the $583K directly out of the Employee Benefit line item leaving the remainder of the current budget intact. However, that Band-Aid can not be reused again when next year’s cuts come down from Uncle Phil’s office. Approximately $30 million dollars is for salaries - leaving $46 million. Next, the line item for benefits is $18 million, now the budget is left with approximately $26 million dollars. There is a line item called unallocated employee benefits - this is the money set aside for all unused sick and vacation pay - which shows on page 99 of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report - and that number is $17.8 million. Subtract this figure and the Lacey School District is now left operating seven buildings for 4,100 students with just about $8 million dollars - $3.7 million of which is earmarked for debt (a four letter word that is killing the District). Debt for a solar project that the taxpayers, staff and the students are suffering over for another 10 years. The project has never paid for itself as the referendum promised and is constantly being supple-
mented with tax funds never meant for the bond. I would be happy to sit down with anyone that wants to dive deep into the school budget. Please remember your civic duty and vote on Tuesday Nov. 6th. Let me be your taxpayer voice on the School Board. Regina Discenza Former Member, Lacey Board of Education, 2015-2017
MacArthur’s Stance On Abortion Earns A Vote I would like to show support for Tom Macarthur in the upcoming mid term election. While there has been controversy on both sides, and neither candidate has been squeaky clean, there is a good reason to support MacArthur on an important issue that many Republicans and social conservatives feel important. That issue is pro-life. The pro-life issue has been vilified and despised by the radical left and now the Democrat party that has adopted that same stance. Tom Macarthur has loyally stood by that movement and been a staunch supporter of life, including the “pain-capable act” that protects infants from late term abortions. This one issue alone is key because his opponent, Andy Kim, is running on a prochoice platform that needs to be defeated. Hopefully, with thought and reflection, you will recognize that the life candidate deserves your support on November 6. Vote your conscience when thinking about so many future lives that have no say in their future. There is no real “choice” in the prochoice movement. Certainly not for the innocent victims. Frank Coluccio Toms River
MacArthur No Friend Of Middle Class Congressman MacArthur is fond of sprinkling his public information notices with phrases like “middle class” and “working families”, suggesting that the voters of these groups are
his special and sole concern. The record, however, indicates otherwise. He authored a bill in Congress to strip people with pre-existing conditions of their health insurance coverage. He was also the sole New Jersey congressman to vote in favor of Trump’s ruinous tax bill which lines the coffers of the wealthy and of the corporations. MacArthur also supported the “age tax” which increased the tax burdens of our senior citizens. AARP has closely examined MacArthur’s voting record and finds him to be no friend of the middle class. Michael J. Doherty Berkeley
Menendez, Welle The Heroes We Need Superman, the fictional superhero, fi rst appeared in a comic book in 1938. The story has been through many revisions from comic books, radio, television to film adaptations and video games. It’s interesting the emergence of the character was in the prewar era and the post war show came into our home with our first television. Super ma n’s reassu r i ng platform: “The never ending fight for Truth, Justice, and the American way” speaks to the safety net and framework of our society.
I remember that mindset was of service to us then. I have seen heroes come and go. Now I understand that concept is too heavy for one individual. Have we lost our vision of the American way? The security and unity that was realized in my early years seems to be continually slippi ng away. Histor y tells us that our country has had periods of division. We are living in one of those times. Some of us are feeling we are on easy street, others live in fear of the future. Who will come to our rescue? Who are our next leaders? As I hear myself say that out loud, it sounds childish! When I look around to the events of the day, I see the changes in broad daylight. Our democracy is fragile and resilient. Our leaders are only as good as our voice. The midterm election is fast approaching. Who will deliver my voice in Washington? Josh Welle is challenging Chris Smith’s seat in Congress. Welle’s platform and commitment is to be of public service for all NJ citizens. I have had the pleasure of meeting and expressing my concerns to Josh, unlike Chris Smith, who only attends unannounced private functions. In the senate, Bob Hugin is seeking to unseat Bob Menendez. Hugin’s recent TV ads Claim, according
to FBI Affidavit exhibit 18, Menendez was involved with underage prostitutes. A Google search shows that the women said they were never paid for sexual favors but were paid to make false statement. Quinnipiac and FDU polls show that women support Menendez vs Hugin, as well as non-whites and an even split among white men. In the past I have asked women Trump supporters, how can they continue to trust a man who has derogatory behavior towards women and immigrants? Their response was that they agree with his policies. I ask those who agree with the policies and record Menendez has stood for in the senate to continue to support him. Any time I call Menendez’ office, his positions always aligns with my interests and concerns. I am doubtful of what Hugin’s positions would be based his record from the past at Princeton when he was in opposition of women and non-discrimination on campus. Josh Welle may be young and Bob Menendez may have fallen from grace, however, I trust they will represent me in Washington. I choose to use my own Superpower and Vote for them on election day.

Manchester Resident Charged With Impersonating A Police Officer
By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – A Manchester man has been charged with impersonating a police officer following the Oct. 21 incident by a resident who was followed by an unmarked vehicle. Salvatore C. Giglio, 51, of Manchester was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer, possession of a personal self-defense chemical agent (OC spray) in excess of the legal limit, destruction of evidence, and various motor vehicle offenses. On Oct. 21, a resident contact Manchester Police, believing she was followed by an unmarked police vehicle. “Although she believed that the vehicle may have been an unmarked police car, she considered the vehicle suspicious because it did not exactly resemble a traditional police vehicle,” stated Manchester Police in a press release. The vehicle flashed red and blue lights in what was believed to be an attempt at a traffic stop, according to the resident, who managed to snap a photo of the vehicle and posted it to social media following the incident. Manchester Police determined the vehicle did not belong to the department, launching an investigation. “Within one day of the social media posting, the agency received several tips from concerned citizens. In following up those tips, a vehicle matching the photograph and description of the suspect vehicle was located in the Pine Acres Manor section of the Township,” stated the release. The vehicle was identified as a 2005 gray Ford Taurus registered to Giglio.
On Oct. 23, police contacted Giglio at his Manchester residence and found that the vehicle has been altered since the initial photograph, the front grill lights and metal window shield having been removed. Police charged Giglio and seized the vehicle as accidence of the crime. Manchester Police urge anyone who has experienced a similar incident to contact Detective Sergeant Christopher Hemhauser at 732-657-2009 ext. 4207. Manchester Police remind residents: “Unmarked police cars have the same authorization to stop a vehicle as a fully marked patrol car so, to that end, you must pull over when being signaled to do so. However, should you have any doubts as to the validity of an unmarked car, you should immediately contact the police department in the jurisdiction where you are being stopped.” In the event you are stopped by a suspicious unmarked vehicle, police offer these tips: • Call the local police department and ask them to verify the matter. • If you are being pulled over by an unmarked car in a dark or desolate area, you should gesture politely with your hand and proceed carefully to a safe, well-lit area. • If you are approached by a non-uniformed officer from an unmarked car, keep your hands where they can be seen and politely ask the officer for I.D. other than a badge or request that a supervisor or a uniformed officer be called to the location. • If you have someone with you that can take a photograph of the vehicle or license plate, or you can do it safely, it can be helpful.

Police Teach Whiting Students About Law Enforcement
DESKTOP SMARTPHONE –Photos courtesy Manchester Police
TABLET Powered by issuu.com!
MANCHESTER – Continuing a successful annual outreach program, students at the Whiting Elementary School recently were taught the ins and outs of law enforcement and given important safety lessons from Manchester Township Police officers. The interactive stations at the October 17, event allowed elementary students to learn about the duties of a police officer while giving them a hands-on look at the equipment Manchester Township Police officers use on a daily basis. Students also were presented with important information they can use to stay safe every day, such as when they are riding in a vehicle or bicycle. “These interactive sessions are important because they allow students to get to know our officers. We want to let them know that we are always here for them, and that they can come to us at any time for help,” said Chief Lisa Parker.
During the event, SRO Chris Cerullo, Ptl. John Decker, Ptl. Michael Steffen, and Ptl. Matt Walaszek gave students demonstrations of police vehicles and their equipment, and showed off the SWAT vehicle and gear. Plus, Ptl. Marc Micciulla talked about the K-9 Unit and showed off the capabilities of his partner, K-9 Storm. The Manchester Township Police is proud to maintain a strong relationship with the Manchester Township School District, which includes sharing positive interactions with our students. These interactive events, which began in 2014, were organized after some female students inquired whether they could pursue a career in law enforcement. While planning a program showing the inclusiveness of the profession, it grew into an opportunity to give students a thorough view of law enforcement and safety through hands-on learning stations.

Free Lunch Meeting To Discuss Senior Isolation And Loneliness
TOMS RIVER – The “golden years” are not always all they are cracked up to be. Far too often, older adults lose their family and friend support system and instead face the “lonely years”. On November 7 from 12–2 p.m., the public is invited to a free lunch forum being held at the Bishop Building of the Ocean County Library. Parking will be reimbursed for attendees. Suggestions about improving the quality of life for those who feel lonely will be gathered as well as an update of an exciting new initiative already put in place at Holiday City Carefree. Sadly, as adults age, many older Americans find their inner circle shrinking when adult children move and spouses and friends become ill or pass away. While senior living communities promise an active second chapter, loneliness and isolation may still exist behind closed doors. A group of professionals in Toms River formed a Task Force to reduce the number of seniors who are isolated and feel lonely. Funded through a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this Task Force has partnered with residents from Holiday City Carefree to begin a “Senior Ambassador” program. The Task Force will now like to expand its reach and hopes that the community will come together on Nov. 7 to discuss this important issue. Space is limited. For more information or to reserve your spot, please call Sylvia at Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, 732-505-2273.

What Does Hearing Loss Look Like Across the Age Spectrum?
More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Although many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids benefit the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing. Nearly 1.5 million are school age. Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally. In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness. Three continuous months of ear infections can lead to deafness. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss. One in five teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other listening devices. In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss. One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life. Those with untreated hearing loss lose
about $30,000 a year due to underemployment. Police, fi refighters, factory workers, farmers, construction workers, musicians, heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss. In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss. About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss. Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall. Dementia, depression and brain shrinkage are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss. Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hearing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you.
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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Can You Eat Dark Chocolate With A Milk Allergy? By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Dark chocolate is a staple in my house. What are you supposed to do if you’re allergic to milk, and want to eat dark chocolate? It’s a good question. Milk is actually allowed as an ingredient in “dark” chocolate, but sometimes it produces a harmful allergy in dairy-sensitive individuals. The reality is that most chocolates contain some milk, and it’s undisclosed. The FDA actually tested 100 different brands of dark chocolate bars, and they specifically tested it for the presence of milk. Of these 100 bars, only six of them listed the ingredient of milk! The other 88 bars did not disclose milk as an ingredient, yet 51 of them contained milk. Dairy-tainted chocolates are among the most frequently reported allergic reactions. It’s unfortunate, but true that milk can get into a dark chocolate product even when it’s not directly added. The problem happens because the dark chocolate is often produced on the same equipment that makes their milk chocolate bars. And traces of milk often inadvertently wind up in the dark chocolate batter. It’s essentially a problem of cross-contamination. My best suggestion to you is to completely avoid dark chocolate (if you’re allergic to milk or dairy) unless the brand you’re buying is made on equipment dedicated to dark chocolate bars only. This is hard to find, but possible. This is why it’s difficult to place your trust in the food industry. They don’t mean
to make people sick, but their laziness or sloppiness can lead to pain and suffering for some of you. As a result, you see warnings on the label that serve as a wink of sorts. This product “may contain dairy” or “may contain traces of milk” or this one, “manufactured in a facility that uses milk.” There are others but if you’re my best friend, I would tell you to replace the word “may” with “probably!” The take home message is you should not assume that your dark chocolate is free of milk, and you should not consume it if you have serious allergic reactions to milk, regardless of the label. I have a checklist of 14 alias names for milk-derived ingredients which may be hidden in your food. My list will help you find undisclosed milk in your candy bars and chocolates. If you’d like to receive that as well as the longer version of today’s article, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen. com and I will email this to you next week. I’ll also tell you why some chocolate bars aren’t good for vegans. Here’s a fun fact, white chocolate doesn’t’t contain any cacao whatsoever, it’s just a combination of cocoa butter, sugar, and milk, but no cocoa solids like dark and milk chocolate have. It’s definitely something to avoid if you’re dairy-intolerant or allergic to milk. In closing, when it comes to dark chocolate, the dairy free claims and statements on the label are best completely disregarded if the manufacturer fails to use dedicated machinery and equipment due to cross-contamination.

MANCHESTER – During November, the Manchester Branch Library will offer 3 programs that are part of the library’s “Chapters of Health” series. Chapters of Health programs provide general information on health topics that are of concern to many people. In many cases the presenters are professionals from local health related organizations that have partnered with the
November Health Programs
library to help educate the public. “Diabetes: Are You at Risk?” Monday, November 5 from 2 to 4 p.m. The Community Health Education Team from RWJ Barnabas Monmouth Medical Center’s Southern Campus will present on diabetes awareness and prevention. The discussion will include the signs and symptoms of this preventable and controllable disease, how to delay its

A registered nurse will be available to provide complimentary glucose screenings. “Calming Coloring.” Friday, November 16 and 21 from 2 to 4 p.m. Coloring is one of the hottest new trends in stress relief for adults! Spend a relaxing afternoon
creating, listening to soothing music and relaxing with like-minded adults at the library! Coloring sheets, pencils, markers and crayons will be supplied free of charge. For even more de-stressing we usually have chocolate, aroma therapy and a visit from a therapy dog (Paws for Reading). “Aromatherapy.” Tuesday, November 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. This informative program will focus on 10 to 12 essential oils. The presenter, Danielle Boska will show demonstrate how to use them in a safe effective manner through hands on activities and discussion. Participants will make aromatherapy items to take home. Registration is required for all of these free adult programs. Go online to theoceancountylibrary.org or call 732-657-7600. The Manchester Branch of the Ocean County Library is located at 21 Colonial Drive in Manchester Township.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Educating Our Community On Nursing Home Abuse
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates People put their elderly parent or grandparent in a nursing home so that they can be safely taken care of, so that someone can properly look after them in their old age. No one expects that these nursing home residents should get anything less than the proper care and respect that they deserve, but with the horrifying rise in nursing care abuse, this is not always the case. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse in the United States, more than 30 percent of all nursing homes in America indulge in some form of resident abuse. Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse. Even more alarming is the prediction that the problem will only worsen in the near future. More than 91% of nursing homes lack adequate staff to properly care for patients. A Health and Human Services Department report found patients in understaffed nursing homes were more likely to suffer from a variety of problems, such as bed sores, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration, pneumonia, and serious blood born infections. It’s a serious concern that will only increase with time, given that the population of people aged 85 or older is expected to double to 8.9 million by the year 2030. Signs of abuse and neglect may be
(but are not limited Michael J. Deem to) evidence such as patterns of bruising, unexplained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, appearance of malnutrition, emotional distress, and unsanitar y living conditions. Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways. Many elders needlessly suffer from nursing home abuse in which they are manipulated, humiliated, or physically harmed by the very people entrusted with providing them with loving and tender care. Instances of physical, sexual and verbal abuse have taken place at the very nursing homes where elders are actually supposed to be well taken care of; unfortunately, cases of nursing home abuse in America and also in New Jersey are rising rather than falling. If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse call the trial attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

Lawyer:
Continued From Page 1 against him in January 2016 after being investigated by the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics. He was arrested that October after an investigation by the Division of Criminal Justice Financial & Computer Crimes Bureau, assisted by the New Jersey Division of Taxation Office of Criminal Investigation. The State found that Novy, in some cases, would simply transfer clients’ money into his own bank account. Other times, he transferred that money and liquidated assets into Interest on Lawyer Trust Account subaccounts he controlled. Other times, he transferred money from those accounts into his fi rm’s operating and disbursement accounts. He operated a legal fi rm in Manchester. “The investigation revealed that Novy stole funds from elderly and deceased clients who often did not have a close relative to claim their estate or challenge Novy’s actions. He used the stolen funds for his own benefit, paying personal and business expenses. Novy gained control through wills, powers of attorney, and trust documents, making himself the sole fi nancial decision-maker for the clients. When clients had sizeable assets in the form of an annuity or life insurance policy, Novy directed insurance companies to redeem the policies and send the money directly to him,” New Jersey Attorney
General Gurbir S. Grewal said back in July. “In some cases, when challenged by trustees or relatives about particular funds that had been withdrawn from client accounts, Novy claimed they were “administrative errors” and repaid the funds.” “This crime was not due to an ‘accidental oversight,’ a typo, a miscalculation on the part of Mr. Novy,” Hutchinson said. “He specifically targeted wealthy seniors with little to no family, who could not protect themselves from his thievery and deceit.” Novy pleaded guilty in July to fi rst-degree money laundering, admitting he stole millions from his law clients. The state’s investigation found about $3 million stolen from at least two dozen victims. He has to pay $4 million - $3 million for known victims and $1 million for anyone who may come forward in the next two years - in restitution to the victims, surrender his law license and pay $500,000 to the state for its anti-money laundering profi teering penalty. Novy’s attorneys said they feel it is excessive but have no complaint, and those obligations have been paid in full. The state, in July, said it would seek a 10-year prison term for Novy, including a three-year, four-month parole ineligibility. Hutchinson asked Collins for a much stiffer penalty. “Your point on victimizing the elderly was not lost on me,” Collins told the room after Hutchinson had spoken.
“I have known Bob Novy for 20 years...I have known him to be nothing but ethical, moral,” said Charles Bowman, a fi nancial planner who worked with Novy. He worked on New Jersey Bar Association’s fee arbitration committee, and never once saw Novy’s name come up. In addition to Bowman speaking, Collins had received written statements from family, friends and doctors on behalf of Novy. His attorney, Gerald Krovatin, asked that the court also think of the impact on Novy: he lost his law practice, his livelihood, and the time lost during this sentence. He’ll be in his 70s when he’s out, and unlikely to be able to start afresh. “He has lost his name and good standing in this community,” Krovatin said. “It’s gone, as a result of this criminal case.” In fact, his attorneys painted him as a champion of senior care - their homes were maintained or upgraded. No one was evicted from their home. They had medical care. All of this in cases where families couldn’t - or wouldn’t - step in. Novy spoke briefly to the court. He said he stood before the court a broken man. He did admit to overcharging clients. But he refuted that he prevented anyone from seeing any of his clients. Families would try to interfere with services signed for by his clients, he protected his clients from that interference, he said. “I’ve attempted to serve the community for 42 years. I served in New Jersey for many years before that. I say with all
sincerity, honor, I did not intend to harm anyone,” Novy said. He apologized to his colleagues and friends and families, and especially to his wife, Catherine Cirigliano Novy. “You don’t need to apologize to me Bob,” his wife said from the front row in the audience. “I wanted to fi nd a reason. I think I was hoping for a substance abuse problem, an issue of alcoholism or drug addiction, and to place the blame on that. Then I hoped to fi nd something like an addiction to gambling. But I couldn’t fi nd anything in report,” Collins said. “...What occurred to me was, it was nothing other than greed. Naked and unadulterated greed.” “My aunt was denied family and friends’ comfort in her last years and visitation from people she was close to. My mother and I were denied the knowledge of whether she was okay. I never got to help them settle in their transition and anyone who has gone through this with family, understands how difficult it is for seniors to face change, to move to an unfamiliar setting with people they don’t know. We never got to say good-bye to either of them. We don’t have closure, only questions with no answers,” Hutchinson said. She wants her aunt and uncle’s wishes, spelled in out in their will, carried out. “I love you Bob. The truth will come out eventually,” Catherine Cirigliano Novy said as her husband was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs.

NJ Police Officer & Wife Charged With Superstorm Sandy Fraud
By Kimberly Bosco TRENTON – Yet another two have been convicted for fraud for filing false applications for relief following Superstorm Sandy, announced Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. Nikola Lulaj, 45, of Seaside Heights and his wife, Majlinda Lulaj, 32, have been found guilty of filing fraudulent applications for federal relief funds in the amount of $187,000. Nikola is an officer with the Hoboken Police Department. The couple was charged with of second-degree conspiracy, second-degree theft by deception, and six counts of fourth-degree unsworn falsification. They were convicted before Superior Court Judge James M. Blaney. “As a result of the verdict, Lulaj must forfeit his employment as a police officer,” stated a press release from the Attorney General’s office. The second-degree charges carry a sentence of 5-10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $150,000, while fourth-degree charges carry a sentence of up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. The Lulaj’s will be sentenced in January; the date is yet to be determined. According to testimony and evidence presented during the trial, the couple filed fraudulent applications for relief funds in the form of FEMA assistance, a low-interest SBA disaster-relief loan, and state grants under the Homeowner Resettlement Program (RSP), the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) Program, and the Sandy Homeowner and Renter Assistance Program (SHRAP) funded by the New Jersey Department of Human Services. The fraudulent applications totaled approximately $187,074 in relief funds: $2,820 from FEMA, $90,200 in SBA loan proceeds, a $69,054 RREM grant, a $10,000 RSP grant, and a $15,000 SHRAP grant. The Lulaj’s applications claimed that their property on Webster Avenue in Seaside Heights, which was damaged during Sandy, was their primary residence during the storm. Their actual primary residence was located in Dumont, NJ.
In the time since Sandy struck, the couple has moved into the Webster Ave. home; however it was designated as a vacation/rental property during Superstorm Sandy, stated the AG’s office. “For a police officer to commit this type of fraud is particularly egregious, because officers take an oath to uphold the law and we rightly hold them to the highest standards,” said Attorney General Grewal. “When disaster strikes, we cannot allow dishonest applicants to divert disaster relief funds from the intended recipients – namely, those victims whose primary homes were destroyed or damaged.” “We have recovered well over $2 million through these prosecutions and have delivered a strong message that should deter this type of fraud during future disaster recovery efforts,” said Director Veronica Allende of the Division of Criminal Justice. “I commend our trial team for this verdict and thank all of our law enforcement partners for their excellent work in these historic anti-fraud efforts.” This conviction follows on the heels of 120 other charges against defendants who allegedly committed fraud related to Sandy relief programs. Deputy Attorneys General Thomas Clark and Jamie Picard tried the case for the Division of Criminal Justice Financial & Computer Crimes Bureau. They were assisted at trial by Detective Mark Byrnes, Detective Franco Cignarella and Analyst Rita Gillis. The case was investigated for the Division of Criminal Justice Financial & Computer Crimes Bureau by Deputy Attorney General Thomas Clark and Detective Mark Byrnes; with special agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, HUD Office of Inspector General and SBA Office of Inspector General. The case was investigated and prosecuted under the supervision of Lt. Vincent Gaeta, Lt. David Nolan, Sgt. Fred Weidman, Deputy Bureau Chief Mark Kurzawa and Bureau Chief Julia S. Glass of the Division of Criminal Justice Financial & Computer Crimes Bureau.

BUSINESS PROFILE DEGRAFF FUNERAL HOME Compassionate • Respectful • Flexible
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, Inc. 119 Union Avenue, Lakehurst, N.J. 08733 732-657-7868 Sherry T. DeGraff, Mgr. N.J. No. 3921 degrafffuneralhome@msn.com
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.” DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004. Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible. While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have. Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation
itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct. Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family. In 2004, New Jersey law provides for the des- DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated at 119 Union Avenue, ignation of an individual Lakehurst since 1979.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of NOV 3 - NOV 9
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Take advantage of a free ride when it is offered but don’t waste valuable resources by taking impulsive chances with your cash. In the week ahead, you will be able to work on reaching your goals one step at a time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be feeling like a party animal let loose from your cage. Feel free to explore new age ideas or to experiment with the latest social apps and technological gadgets but don’t go out of your way to shock people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While others quibble over the proper direction to take, you can steer the situation. Your thoughts are in tune with the long-range consequences of your actions in the week ahead, so your judgment will be right on the mark. CANCER (June 21-July 22): What works for you may not go over so well with your mate. Someone in close connection could be caught up in a complicated power struggle. Find a happy medium that you can both enjoy in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your problems into perspective. Step back and take the long-range view. No matter what your problem is ask yourself if it will seem as important a year from now. Create a viable financial plan early in the week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t try to control the family agenda. You may incur resistance if you try to run your home like a business. You will have much better results this week if you discuss your ideas in advance and focus on teamwork.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Life can be a roller coaster. It might seem that the more you try to keep your word the more people change their minds. To avoid unnecessary stress, wait until the second half of the week to hold a planning session. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead let loved ones know how much you care. You may be quite content and happy with your current relationship, but a partner may feel bored. Keep the excitement alive by finding unusual entertainment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You and a partner will be on the same page when discussing loyalty and trust. This is an excellent time to obtain advice or professional consultations. Put investment ideas on the back burner in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Little Jack Horner stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum. You, on the other hand, might get your thumb caught in a bamboo Chinese finger puzzle trap. Steer clear of complicated financial schemes in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Hope for the best and plan for the worst. You could be optimistic about your future income but should have a back-up plan just in case things don’t go your way. Use your extra energy constructively this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Opportunities can appear out of the blue this week. Put on your thinking cap and you may understand how a casual word of advice can lead to bigger and better things. Your tastes can change quickly so wait to buy.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Get Back To Your ‘Roots’ And Discover Salsify This Autumn By Wolfgang Puck
Autumn always feels to me like the perfect time to cook and serve root vegetables. Sure, all the year round we enjoy carrots, potatoes and other less-popular but still well-known roots (and tubers, to be botanically accurate about potatoes) such as parsnips, turnips and rutabagas. But cooler days seem perfectly suited to the comfort and warmth that root vegetable dishes provide. This fall, please let me suggest that you try expanding your root repertoire with a vegetable that’s usually met with a puzzled look when it’s encountered at the farmers’ market or supermarket. The vegetable that causes so much bewilderment looks like a long, skinny, somewhat shaggy parsnip - only it’s either black or pale white in color. It’s known most commonly as salsify. That English name raises almost as many questions as the look of the vegetable itself. In fact, the darker variety is also known as scorzonera (a descriptive Italian name for “black skin”). And many people colloquially call both kinds of salsify an oyster plant, under the belief that, when cooked, it tastes like oysters. This is a misleading impression, because it doesn’t taste like the sea at all and actually has a mildly earthy, mineral-tinged, slightly sweet and creamy flavor. You can find salsify year round, though it’s about to enter its peak of season, which lasts from late autumn through early spring. You can also find seeds, and grow them in your home garden. When you bring home your purchase, or harvest it, store the roots in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Before preparing salsify, you should peel it, immersing the roots in water with a little lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly right after peeling the black variety, as it can discolor your skin. After peeling them, very young, small salsify roots can be thinly sliced or shredded and tossed into mixed salads or slaws. But larger ones, which you’ll most often find, are best cut into larger pieces and cooked, usually by steaming or brief boiling until tender. Once cooked, the salsify can simply be tossed with butter or garlic butter and fresh herbs. It’s also delicious pureed like mashed potatoes. Salsify also lends itself very well to oven-baked gratins like the classic version I am sharing, served as a side dish with roast beef, pork, lamb, chicken or turkey. I hope you’ll not only enjoy this recipe but also share it with other people you know, spreading the word about salsify so more farmers and home gardeners alike will grow it. Who knows? Maybe it will even jump-start your explorations of other root vegetables.
CLASSIC SALSIFY GRATIN Serves 4 4 whole salsify roots 1 lemon, halved 2 cups (500 mL) milk 2 cups (500 mL) water Kosher salt 2/3 cup (185 mL) heavy cream 1 garlic clove, peeled Freshly ground white pepper 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely shredded Gruyere or Emmenthaler cheese Trim off the tops and tips of the salsify roots. With a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, peel off the black skin of the salsifies, exposing the ivory colored flesh beneath. Cut the salsifies into 1 1/2-inch (3.75-cm) pieces. Immediately rub all of the pieces with the cut surfaces of the lemon halves to help prevent them from turning brown. Wash your hands thoroughly. Put the milk and water in a medium-sized saucepan with a pinch of salt. Add the salsify pieces. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook the salsify until it is tender enough to be pierced easily with the tip of a small, sharp knife, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, put the cream in a small saucepan with the garlic clove and a little salt and white pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer briskly, stirring frequently, until the cream’s volume reduce by a third to a half. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Bring a teakettle or medium saucepan half-filled with water to a boil. When the salsify is tender, drain it; rinse thoroughly under cold running water; and drain again. Arrange the pieces in a single layer in a shallow ovenproof baking dish. Remove the garlic clove from the cream, taste the cream, and add a little more salt and white pepper to taste, if necessary. Drizzle the cream evenly over the salsify. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Place the baking dish inside another baking dish or pan large enough to hold it comfortably. Partly pull out the oven rack and put the nested pans on it; then, carefully pour boiling water into the outer pan to come halfway up the side of the pan containing the salsify. Carefully slide in the oven rack. Bake until the cheese topping has turned golden brown and the cream is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully slide out the rack and remove the nested pans from the oven; then, carefully lift out the baking dish of salsify and place on top of a folded kitchen towel to absorb water clinging to its bottom and side. Serve immediately.
