SHAMROCKS FOR THE SHORE 5K/10K

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Today the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) upgraded the 2016 Nissan Sentra to its highest rating of “Top Safety Pick Plus” when equipped with optional Forward Emergency Braking technology. The Sentra had previously held the agency’s Top Safety Pick designation prior to IIHS confirmation of the required front crash prevention technology performance.

For this year, IIHS has tightened its standards by requiring a “Good” or better rating in all five of the crashworthiness categories to earn a “Top Safety Pick” and making an available front crash prevention system mandatory for all awards. To earn the IIHS “Top Safety Pick Plus” designation, a vehicle must earn a “Good” or better on all five crashworthiness categories and also receive an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for front crash prevention.

“Nissan is proud to have another of our core vehicles recognized by IIHS for vehicle safety,” said Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA).

“Nissan has the safety and security of Nissan vehicle owners and their passengers as its top priority, so we are glad to see our long-term investment in safety showing results in these latest IIHS tests.”

Sentra joins the 2016 Altima, Maxima and Murano in earning the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus rating. Forward Emergency Braking is available on 2016 Sentra SR and SL models equipped with the optional Technology Package.

Team Causeway Rocks with 11 medal winners By: Joe Stroffolino

Manahawkin- This race event was originally “Shamrocks for Sandy” to benefit victims of hurricane Sandy in October 2012. Fast forward to 2016 and many of us have resumed our normal lives.

Sadly there are still families that have not fully recovered from the devastating storm.

The race event has been renamed “Shamrocks for the Shore”.

Still the mission remains the same, to raise money for the remaining victims. The race is hosted by the Southern Ocean Ladies Running Club of Barnegat. 2016 marks the 4th year of the race.

I ran my first 5k last year at the 2015 Shamrocks for sandy. I ran it along with 4 of my co-workers from the Causeway Family of Dealerships. This year we decided to bring a few more Causeway Family members. We grew from 5 in 2015 to 22 registered runners in 2016! Team Causeway really showed up for this one! Out of the 22 team members we had 11 medal winners! We even had Mr. and Mrs. Purul both win medals. Ryan came in 1st in his age group and 8th overall. His wife Erin came in third overall Female and tenth overall. Causeway’s Tracy Arntz finished second overall in the women’s division. Causeway also had the honor of having the overall first place finisher as well. Chad Scanlon came across the finish line at a scorching 18:03! I asked Chad if he ran track in high school and was surprised to discover the answer was no. He did however play soccer, basketball, and Baseball. I have also attached the results from the top 25 overall finishers. Team Causeway had 8 finishers in the top 25, including me at 23.

My absolute favorite story of the day was the first place Female overall and 5th place overall. What makes this a special story is her age. In the chart above you can see that Jessica Abbott is only 7 years old! I had the distinct please of speaking to this potential running Phenom. She as you can imagine was a lovely young lady, whose dad Steven (finished about a minute behind her) said she just loves to run! The Abbott’s live in Toms River. I did my best to try to recruit them to move to Manahawkin so should could attend Southern Regional and run for the Ram’s! Stay tuned for the results on my recruiting efforts!

Team Causeway plans on participating in more races in the 2016 calendar.

DISRUPTION IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY: IT’S TIME TO EMBRACE THE CHANGE

In his latest LinkedIn Influencer post, Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn addresses the issue of “disruption” in the auto industry and competitors who promise a new approach to what a car can be. The LinkedIn post is excerpted from a keynote speech Ghosn gave at the opening of the New York International Auto Show on March 23.

To deal with the threat of climate change, the world is demanding that our industry invest more in zero-emissions transportation.

Governments around the world are imposing stricter limits on CO2 emissions, and one major response has to be electrification.

But beyond environmental regulation, EVs just make sense.

If you have read some of the recent commentary on the auto industry, you could get the impression that it’s headed into a long, stormy, uneasy winter.

We have already seen within Nissan and Renault how the cost of EVs continues to go down as their economies of scale begin to inch closer to those enjoyed by the internal combustion engine.

There’s been a lot of talk about “disruption,” about new competitors who promise a new approach to what a car can be.

EVs are also relatively simple machines: a battery and electric motors. They require far less service, no oil changes and they are extremely reliable.

Much of this unease over potential disruption has resulted from the rapid emergence of new technologies and “mobility services” – all of which are competing to establish a new vision of our industry’s future. In addition, these technologies are developing at a speed unfamiliar to our industry.

With battery technology improving and the charging infrastructure expanding in much of the world, we are nearing the turning point where EVs will become more of a mainstream option.

Whether we’re talking about Autonomous Drive and connected vehicle technologies, ride-sharing services, or alternative propulsion technologies, the fact is, nobody in the industry knows for certain which will become mainstream.

There’s been another important change since 2012.

Then, no one was talking about Autonomous Drive vehicles.

In January, I visited Nissan’s Silicon Valley R&D offices in California. I spent considerable time driving around the streets of Sunnyvale – hands-free and with my eyes off the road. Those cars will be far

Companies can make some educated guesses and calculated bets – and we have – but in the end customers will decide which technologies and business plans will survive.

So, yes, the future isn’t clear. The biggest questions revolve around how these potentially disruptive changes will come about: What regulatory roadblocks will emerge?

What role will tech companies play?

Which of our companies will succeed or fail in addressing the coming wave of change?

And which will be able to move quickly and adapt in such a rapidly changing technological landscape?

I don’t pretend to know all the answers to these questions. But rather than fear the disruption, I believe our industry really has no choice but to embrace it.

I expect the global auto industry to see more changes in the next five years than it has in the last 20. And those changes will bring tremendous opportunities for those companies with the skills and foresight to seize them.

#1 RATED

Google REVIEWED

More significantly, today nearly every major automaker has ambitious projects underway for new EVs and other zero-emissions vehicles. It’s clear EVs are here to stay.

There are several reasons to be bullish about EV’s future.

Causeway Gazette The

The trend toward more connected cars is also critical to meet the expectations of our future buyers, those who are just getting their driver’s licenses today.

The benefits of highly connected, Autonomous Drive cars are clear: They hold the promise of making driving far safer, less stressful, more efficient and more rewarding. And as we did with our EVs, the Alliance will aim these future cars at the heart of the mass market.

With each international auto show, more automakers are spelling out their visions and placing their bets on the future. And that’s good.

Yes, there’s a lot at stake. Yes, there is a lot of uncertainty. But this is not a time for the conservative or the cautious.

Because for those open to new ideas and new ways of doing things, the opportunities for our industry to grow and better serve society’s needs has never been greater.

The pending merger of new technologies and new business models means not only new business opportunities, but ultimately a more efficient and safer transportation system at a lower cost to society.

Three forces – electrification, Autonomous Drive and connectivity – are about to change our industry in ways we are only beginning to imagine.

To me, it feels like we’re at the dawn of a new spring in the auto industry, and I’m excited to see how this new era unfolds.

With that said, here are some thoughts on what I see on our industry’s long-term horizon.

Since then, the Renault-Nissan Alliance is leading the industry with more than 300,000 EVs sold globally – not as much as we had expected, but certainly a healthy start.

And the EV is the perfect platform for the future of Autonomous Drive and connected vehicle technology, which will, in turn, help accelerate the adoption of EVs.

spring cleaning

Rather than fear tech companies’ interest, I see this new competition as healthy for our industry. We have a lot to learn from them, and they have much to learn from us, which is quite clear considering all the automotive talent they have been hiring.

When I last spoke at the New York International Auto Show breakfast in 2012, our industry was still focused on whether electric vehicles were the future.

Nissan had just introduced the LEAF a year earlier and we had sold 30,000 units.

2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype Brings Sporty, Euro Styling to North American Debut in New York

The next-generation Civic Hatchback, with its striking design and the promise of a sporty, European-inspired driving experience, today made its North American debut in prototype form just a day before the 2016 New York International Auto Show. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. also conďŹ rmed that it will marry the all-new 1.5-liter turbo engine to its 6-speed manual transmission for more sporty and dynamic performance.

The arrival of the production 2017 Civic Hatchback later this year marks the continued rollout of the 10th-generation Civic lineup, the sportiest and most expansive family of Civics in the car’s 44-year history. The Civic Sedan was recently named the 2016 North American Car of the Year, and sales of Civic are up 37 percent through the ďŹ rst two months of 2016.

Being built on the same world-class platform as the 10thgeneration Civic Sedan, the 2017 Civic Hatchback will be deďŹ ned by an unparalleled combination of sportiness, eďŹƒciency and utility, with distinctive styling and premium features that enthusiasts demand. The ďŹ ve-door hatchback will feature one powertrain for the U.S. market, a 1.5-liter DOHC direct-injected Turbo engine that can be mated to either a sporty CVT or a slickshifting 6-speed manual transmission. “The 10-generation The Civic Hatchback wraps the 10 generation Civic platform

and ďŹ ve-door hatchback utility in emotional, Euro-inspired styling,â€? said Je Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Oered with the ďŹ rst application of the 1.5-liter turbo engine paired with a manual transmission, this sportiest Civic to date will attract a whole new set of enthusiasts buyers to the model and Honda brand.â€?

The Civic Hatchback will launch later this year as the third new Civic variant, joining the 2016 Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe. The 10th-generation Civic lineup will be rounded out in 2017 with the arrival of Civic Si variants and the radical new Civic Type R. The 2017 Civic Hatchback was developed by the joint eorts of Honda R&D teams in Europe and Japan and is expected to bring new buyers into the Honda showroom here in the U.S.

“We knew that we needed to create a striking and stand-out exterior design that challenged conventional European compact styling while staying true to the original Civic’s core values,� said Daisuke Tsutamori, chief exterior stylist for the 2017 Civic Hatchback Prototype. “This vehicle represents a marriage of distinctive and sporty design, rewarding driving dynamics and versatile practicality.�

New larger and wider wheels and tires give a feeling of an assured stance, while the long wheelbase, short overhangs and sleek cabin area further add to the dynamic feel of the exterior.

At the front of the car, a short overhang with large air intakes presents a sharp and aggressive interpretation of Honda’s family face. LED headlights and daytime running lights ow from beneath the boldly sculpted hood into the muscular front wheel arches.

The sleek and swept-back body lines continue along the side of the car with a crease that incorporates front and rear door handles before culminating in the distinctive C-shaped LED rear lights. A second, lower character line extends from behind the front wheels up through the doors and meets the rear wheel arches, emphasizing the car’s dynamic forward-leaning stance.

At the rear, the bumper incorporates angular creases and vents, designed to echo the aggressively styled nature of the rest of the car.

Manahawkin, NJ – The Manahawkin Elks Americanism and Veterans Committees did not have time for the “Winter Blahs� this year, but instead served and involved our local community in a number of projects and events.

In November, we hosted over 80 local veterans at our Annual Luncheon Event. They were greeted by military vehicles parked in front of the Elks, welcomed by the local Stafford Police Chief and his staff, and received benefit information from VetGroup, Inc. The veterans were entertained by the Ms. NJ Senior America Cameo Club, served a fabulous turkey dinner by Lodge members, and then played bingo to round out the afternoon.

In December, we finalized a response to a request from Col. Vinny Valinotti, Commander of Task Force Medical in Kosovo, to take part in a project labelled “3 P’s for Peace.� His Unit was serving with the NATO KFOR peace-keeping operation to assist in ensuring security and stability in Kosovo as local institutions continue

Military personnel in Kosovo delivering supplies to school children

197 lbs. of school supplies. This act of kindness allowed Colonel Valinotti’s unit to share in the joy of giving during the Holiday Season.

In January, our Veterans backpack project was

finalized. The project was funded with a grant from the Elks National Service Commission

along with charity funds from the Manahawkin Elks. One hundred backpacks were filled with new personal hygiene items, non-perishable

food, and gloves, hats, and socks. The backpacks were provided to VetGroup, Inc. and the Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau for delivery

in a confidential manner to local homeless/ disadvantaged veterans in need of emergency or supportive services.

In February, we finalized judging 139 essay Col. Vinny Valinotti, Commander of Task Force Medical in Kosovo - Project “3 Ps for Peace� with children in Kosovo

to develop. Our military volunteered their personal time to teach the children leadership, tolerance and life skills. Through this self less act, they identified a need for school supplies which would help in their education efforts.

Through social media and direct communication to our local community and the generosity of our Lodge members, we collected and mailed

entries from over 400 written by local 5th to 8th graders, with the theme “What I Can Do to

Promote Americanism and Love of Country.� We selected three entries for each division, 5th-6th and 7th-8th graders, and forwarded those to our

District Elks for further competition. One entry,

Isabella Navantieri in Grade 8, placed second at the District level and repeated her performance

and placed second at the State Elks level.

Congratulations to Isabella!

DONATE NOW TO HELP B.E.A.T. HUNGER THE B.E.A.T. CENTER LAUNCHES CROWDRISE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN Hits $20,000 in First Few Days! Donors of $10,000 or More will be Invited to Grand Opening Event and Top Donor will Receive Invitation to VIP Reception with Jon Bon Jovi and Partners Scan now to Donate

*OceanFirst Foundation will match donations up to $100,000

From L to R: Don Norkus, Gerry Little, Toms River Mayor Tom Kelaher, Pat Donaghue, Carlos Rodriguez, Jon Bon Jovi, David Tepper

April 5, 2016 –The B.E.A.T. Center (Bringing Everyone All Together) launched a CrowdRise fundraising campaign entitled, THE BEAT CENTER OCEANFIRST MATCH CAMPAIGN – Bringing Everyone All Together to Fight Hunger on April 30th and it is already generating some team fundraising and top prize bids. Individual and team incentives include a chance to have your name included in a logo at The B.E.A.T. Center as well as a digital copy sent to your home, and for the top donor of $10,000 or more—an invitation to attend a VIP reception with Jon Bon Jovi and partners at the B.E.A.T. Center Grand Opening in Toms River, N.J. Additional local incentives will be announced on the CrowdRise page at https://www. crowdrise.com/beat-center-oceanfirstmatch-campaign.

The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, Peoples Pantry (Inspire NJ), and Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation joined forces last April to form The B.E.A.T. Center. The B.E.A.T. Center is a community hub where families and individuals in need can access food, job training, and resources to end the cyclical causes of hunger in New Jersey.

The “one-stop shop” will serve as a FoodBank satellite location that includes a food distribution center, commercial kitchen, culinary skills training program and community resource center, as well as the permanent home of Peoples Pantry and a second location of JBJ Soul Kitchen.

Ocean County is New Jersey’s fastest growing county and was “ground zero” for Hurricane Sandy. According to FEMA, over 40,000 structures in the county were damaged or destroyed in the storm – 55% of the state’s total. The creation of The B.E.A.T. Center is in response to the reality that today, more than three years after the storm, there are thousands of families who are still struggling to regain housing, financial stability and to overcome food insecurity—and they are turning to local agencies in record numbers for assistance. The impact of this collaboration is projected to provide $5 million in support to families in need in its first year.

The CrowdRise Campaign will run from March 29th to April 26th for the Grand Prize, and will continue with incentives through the Grand Opening of the facility in May. For those who don’t reach the top goals, there are still plenty of local and global gift incentives throughout the campaign.

To join the campaign, and start fundraising, please visit: http://tinyurl.com/z2owax7 *About the OceanFirst Foundation Match: A generous grant from the OceanFirst Foundation is helping to make The B.E.A.T. Center a reality. OceanFirst will match dollar for dollar up to $100,000 and every dollar donated goes directly to The B.E.A.T. Center.

The 2016 Nissan Sentra’s well designed and spacious interior

CONGRATULATIONS TO: DONNA TAURO FOR WINNING NNING TTHE HE $ $100 100 HOME HOME DEPOT DEPOT GIFT GIF CARD

When you think the “best of” you don’t exactly think of small four door commuter car… but I’m going to show you why you should! This is a car that has been doing it since 1982 as the ultimate compact car everyone drove (or knew someone that did). I’m talking about the 2016 Nissan Sentra! The Nissan Sentra (also known as the Sunny, Sylphy, and Pulsar) is a real contender in the compact commuter car market.

This newest face-lifted model has enough technology to make your BMW or Mercedes blush! When you first look at this Sentra you notice the new V shaped grill (adorning most Nissan’s now) this one change moved the car from a lookalike to something all its own. You have new LED headlights with LED Accent lighting and Fog lights on this particular model.

This SR model has nice two tone rims with 16 inch tires wrapped around them. The rear brake lights still have the same look but now with strip style LED lights instead of round LED ones.

Overall the exterior has a nice fresh look while keeping the same style the people love.

incorporated a nicer looking steering wheel from the Juke and added nice contrasting touches throughout the cabin.

They also took the awesome gauges that were in the Altima.

The Advanced Drive Assist Display in-between the tech and speedo shows all your important data that you may need like Fuel economy, miles to empty, collision warning, etc. You can also change various functions in that screen that effect how your car behaves. This model had a manual climate control system but you can upgrade to the automated system as well. The car has a good amount of room I’m 6’2” and I had plenty of room in the car. The only thing for tall people is that if you move the seat all the way back you might not any leg room in the back. Nissan retuned both the suspension and CVT transmission to work out some of the bugs of the previous model. They brought back the same 1.8L engine as before, it’s not a racecar but you will get pretty good mileage out of it.

There are also “Sport” and “Economy” modes to choose from, these will change the way the transmission shifts to enhance your driving experience. Since driving is the key function of owning a vehicle Nissan has put the driving first and foremost in this 2016 Sentra.

The 2016 Sentra is an all-around good vehicle with updated looks and very nice tech improvements like: Nissan Connect Apps, Siri Hands Free, Intelligent Cruise Control, Heated front mirrors, and the Advanced Drive Assist Display. You will also get the wisdom and focus of a company that was founded back in 1918 in Yokohama Japan (under the name Kwaishinsha). Nissan’s love of racing and embracing technology and innovation is what kept the company as one of the top car companies in the world. If you are in the market The part most people care about is the for a good compact / midsize car, you cannot interior, where most of your time is spent. They pass this one up!

Top Ten

Perennials for the Northeast

10. New York Ironweed New York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis) is a tough plant, and its name was given to it in recognition of the strength of its stems.

9.

Garden Phlox There are a lot of reasons that garden phlox (Phlox paniculata) is a great addition to any Northeastern flower garden. Garden phlox’s strong stems are resistant to wind and the quick onset of winter.

8.

Yarrow Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is another beautiful plant that needs very little to thrive. Despite its delicate appearance, it can also survive in less-thanideal conditions.

7.

Astilbe Astilbe (False Spirea) is a sturdy plant that needs very little to thrive. Dramatic, colorful blooms top the plant.

6.

Coral Bells Coral bells (Heuchera) is another plant that does well in shade. Its spikes of flowers can be bright red, pink or white, but for most gardeners, this plant’s real beauty lies in its stunning foliage of silver, burgundy, bronze, plum and gold.

5.

Veronica For many gardens and landscapes, the spiky, surprisingly blue Veronica is a staple plant, and for good reason: It loves sun, takes little care, and provides color not only in borders, beds and rocky areas but also in containers and as cut flowers indoors.

4.

Soapwort Another super-low-maintenance perennial that thrives in a wide range of conditions and is hardy in the Northeast, soapwort grows beautifully even on dry roadsides.

3.

Cranesbill Known as the “true geranium,” cranesbill not only survives the harsh Northeastern winter but also offers flowers that add a range of color (from white to pink to blue) to a garden during blooming months.

2.

Miscanthus The morning light variety is the ornamental grass that screams “island paradise” (even in the Northeast) when backlit by the sun with its large, pink-orange blooms, which dry beautifully for indoor arrangement, and fountainlike foliage, and the zebragrass type is one of the most uniquelooking grasses you see in a landscaped space.

1.

Catmint Catmint is an ultra-hardy perennial with serious benefits: This plant will not only brave drought and extreme heat, resist deer, adapt to a variety of soils and do just fine in part sun in the Northeast.

Kids Craft: Recycled Blooms

This craft will teach your kids how easy (and pretty!) recycling can be.

Supplies: • Empty toilet-paper tubes • Ruler • Pencil • Kid-friendly scissors • Bamboo skewers • Paint • Paintbrush • Tissue paper • Green cardstock

Directions: • Draw a ring 2 inches from edge of tube. Repeat on other end. Then, from each 2-inch ring, draw cut lines every 1/2 inch. Snip along each line to make petals. • Fold petals back to create flower. Paint flower and bamboo skewers; let dry. Cut out green leaves and glue to skewers. • Push the skewer through one end of the flower’s center until it just touches the other end.

RAISING MONEY TO RAISE UP STUDENTS My students need standing height tables for our new Maker Space!

Ms. O’Neill and her 5th grade students at the Joseph T Donahue Elementary School in Barnegat

My Students

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” - Einstein

My students are constantly out of their seats, investigating and Scan now to Donate working collaboratively.

We are creating an innovative Maker Space area in our classroom and these tables will do the trick.

We are found in a small town in south Jersey, My students are little beach bums, living so close to the Atlantic Ocean.

My 5th grade students are curious about the environment and protecting our beaches. Sandy came through our area and damaged quite a bit of it. My students saw firsthand how precious life is, and not just their own. They know the importance of preservation and how to treat their home, Earth. Our school is a close knit family, we work together to create an environment that is fun and nurturing. Our PTA helps provide many activities for our students that are sure to fill them with wonder. I can honestly say I love going to work in the morning. I never know what the day will bring, but I know I will be amazed!

My Project

Saint Bernard’s Food for Pets is proud to host a comedy murder mystery

Date: Friday, April 29th Time: Doors open at 6:00 PM Tickets: $15 per adult * $ 8 per child under 13 years old Place: St. Mary of the Pines Parish Center 100 Bishop Way Manahawkin, NJ 08050 Call Louise at 609-693-1956 for additional information and ticket sales.

All proceeds will benefit the St Bernard’s Food for Pets program.

We are in the process of creating a Maker Space in our classroom. This new, innovative, student-led design space is where creativity comes to life! Children learn best when they can move about, get up out of their seats and simply stand up! These tables will hold materials and allow students to stand while they are busy writing, creating, and learning. I foresee a little area where children are standing around, working together, creating! I watch them create every day, these tables will allow us an organized space in which to do just that!

I recently attended a Maker Space seminar and couldn’t wait to get started in my classroom.

I saw an innovative school where students used tall tables to stand and work while other students sat on stools. I know that the tables can create the atmosphere I am striving for. I know that the students in my room will love to be out and about the hallway in their new Maker Space!
