Yes, it is autumn and the swimming

Many of your snowbird friends are getting ready to
migrate south while the rest of us hunker down to get ready
for winter.
The Yearbook party was fun and it made us aware of
how Sea Breeze is growing each year. We are already at
the 254 homes sold mark.
As you can see in this issue, the August Car Show had
a good turn out for both exhibitors and attendees.
We would like to remind everyone that they should not
use their clicker when exiting Sea Breeze since the exit gates
open automatically. Using the clicker opens the incoming

Planning to Travel - Make Sure Your
Passport is Ready When You Are
This is to insure that you will be able to return home without
any documentation problems should an illness or other
unexpected issue extends your trip. Don't risk ruining your
trip. You can check on the travel.state.gov website to see
the specific requirements that apply to the countries you
plan to visit.
by Bob Sherman
If you are considering traveling
outside the US anytime soon you may
want to pay a visit to the US State
Department International Travel
website to check out the current
requirements to obtain or renew a
passport.
https://travel.state.gov
You should allow plenty of time, particularly if you
are obtaining a passport for the first time or your existing
passport has expired. It took me four months to replace an
expired passport.
The first issue I encountered was finding out that the
birth certificate I used when I previously applied for a
passport was no longer valid as it did not list the full names
of both parents. There are several other requirements, so
check the website and make sure your birth certificate
meets all of them. Getting an acceptable copy of my birth
certificate from New York took about two months. It took
three months to get one from Pennsylvania for my wife.
Some states allow you to expedite this a bit if you are willing
to pay an additional fee.
The next issue was getting an acceptable photo. Bad
photos are the number one reason for rejection of a passport
application. Although I submitted a photo taken through
the passport photo services of a national business chain,
it was rejected. I was told that there are now very specific
requirements that your photo must meet to insure that it is
compatible with facial recognition software. Apparently
these changes were made only weeks after my photo
was taken so I had to get another one. The Department
of State reported that over 200,000 passport applications
were rejected in 2015 due to photos that did not meet the
requirements.
A final word, even if your passport has not yet expired,
you may want to renew it now. If your passport will expire
less than six months from your planned trip it is not valid for
travel to certain countries and you will be denied boarding.
Did you know there is a new internet
site called Toll Lifestyle TV? It is our
own video channel devoted to life in Toll
Brothers communities. You can view
short videos on design advice, cooking
tips and healthy living. You can also
visit spectacular homes and explore other Toll Brother
communities. It's a fun way to take a peek into other Toll
Brothers homes all across the country. New videos pop up
all the time and you can go back and view those you missed.

and are the proud grandparents of 8 grandchildren ranging in ages from 9 to 23 years old.
Lynda was previously employed in the field of property management and Larry worked for
a residential development company. Lynda likes to read, play Mahjong, bake and travel.
Larry likes to read, follow the financial world happenings and travel. They both rank
visiting China and New Zealand as the most memorable and exciting of all their travels. We welcome them to Sea Breeze!
Eileen Hermanni is a retired school teacher who has only recently arrived in 44 Arborridge

Virginia, residing there for 14 years. Eileen says “I still love Virginia but I love my family and
friends more and am returning to be near them.” Eileen is still in the process of selling her house
in Wirtz, VA, but hopes to complete the transaction soon, allowing her to become full-time at Sea

and spending time with friends and family. We welcome her to the Sea Breeze community.
Fran and Henry Grifka moved from Hillsdale, NJ to 169 Arborridge Dr. on August 4, 2016. They chose Seabreeze
because they said it was such a warm, friendly, and relaxing community, and so the perfect
place to call home. Henry is a retired software developer, who worked for many years
in the insurance field. Fran recently resigned from her position in the medical billing
department of an orthopedic surgeon’s office and is presently seeking similar employment
in the area. Fran and Henry have one son, Max, who resides in Jersey City and works
in cyber security for Goldman Sachs. Henry loves listening to music, skeet shooting,
observing and playing tennis, and watching golf. He also enjoys movies, eating out, and
is an avid Giants fan. Fran loves to cook, especially Italian cuisine, crafting, and listening
to music. Her greatest pleasure, however, is spending time with family and friends. We welcome Fran and Henry to our
community and we wish them many happy, healthy years here at Seabreeze.

The German Butcher
by Walt
Is there anyone in Sea Breeze that is not familiar with The German Butcher? Haha! But, yes there are! Not everyone
has entered this magical world of food. They don’t know that it is “The Best of the Wurst!”
Let’s start with where they are located at 109 Lacey Road in Forked River. (609) 693-7100 TheGermanButcherShopOnline.
com. They located here in 1978 and after 20 years the shop moved to its current location where it has 5000 square
feet of retail space. The shop has an eatery, groceries, imported German & Italian goods, and well over 100 homemade
products. They receive fresh baked bread every morning from bakeries in Manhattan and Staten Island. The butchers
and sausage makers continue their trade as they did in the old country. They have 2 smokehouses that are in constant
production making homemade smoked hams, frankfurters and much more.
Their cold cuts and meats are definitely the best and they have
the greatest variety around. They are always ready to assist you in
your choices and they take great delight in giving you taste samples.
The meats always look and taste wonderful and if you don’t
know how to cook a cut, they are always ready with suggestions
and even some preprinted instructions.
There is an eating area with tables and chairs where you can enjoy a
delicious breakfast or lunch. Especially with the cold weather coming it is
a great place to enjoy a tasty sandwich and soup.
I do suggest that you do not go shopping there when you are hungry
for fear you will end up buying much more than you can possibly eat.

Outreach
by Walt Bischoff
Each year The Christ Child Society of Summit, New Jersey assembles Layettes for the infants of needy families at
Overlook and Morristown Memorial Hospitals. Every Christ Child Society chapter in our country provides layettes to
needy newborns in their area. The layettes are the signature and founding project of the National Christ Child Society.
Layettes are one of the common threads that weave us together with all of the other CCS chapters. All chapter layettes
are different, but all include the necessary items to get a newborn started in life. Clinics are assured that every baby in
need will receive a layette.
At present the layettes which provide warmth and softness for each baby contain
the following new items: 5 onesies, 2 sleep and play stretchies, 1 outfit, 1 homemade
knitted item (hat, blanket, sweater provided by the “Knitting Angels”), socks, hoodie
towel and washcloth, bib, 2 receiving blankets, one of our handmade signature fleece
blankets, Goodnight Moon book (books donated by publisher (HarperCollins),
and random items that people donate. In the winter there are snowsuits donated by
parishioners of St Teresa's as well as the Junior league of Summit.
In addition to Oak Knoll School groups that have donated include St Teresa's parishioners;
the Junior League of Summit; Knights of Columbus, The Columbiettes (women's auxiliary of K
of C); Elks; Mormon Church; local Girl Scout troops; Mercer Health and Benefits in Morristown
and Marsh Model of Hoboken, both of whom held baby showers and donated hundreds of items
for layettes; Celtic Sisters in West Orange; and many other individuals and children who have
used their "birthday money” in lieu of receiving gifts so they could buy and donate Layette
items and hold showers to collect them. We have even receive knitted items from as far away as
Germany. One woman (Lucy Remus) has recruited knitters in Virginia and she usually delivers
about 60 hats to Summit each year.
The Christ Child Society of Summit has been, and continues to be, a significant source of outreach in New Jersey.
Their loving work of catering to vulnerable infants, is heart warming and and inspiring. These efforts started out in small
fashion in 2008 with home made knit hats and blankets initially given out at Overlook. In late 2009 fleece blankets were
added in order to achieve greater outreach and things have grown mightily since then.
My involvement with the Society began in late 2009 when my wife, Norahmarie,
suggested that maybe sewing blankets from fleece or flannel might be more efficient
than knitting them. The challenge was made and I started cutting fabric and sewing.
Fleece proved to be the best way to go. Norahmarie’s teaching partner, Rhonda
Bowker, felt that the Kindergarteners could help with the tying of the fringes. Our
original blankets were sewn on two sides and fringed at each end. This allowed
them to be tied by the Kindergarteners with the help of the 6th grade girls. We felt
this would encourage them to be involved in outreach activities and it resulted in
some very enthusiastic participation.
We learned a lot about making the blankets efficiently and were soon fringing only enough blankets for kindergarten
participation. The majority are now completely sewn since this allows us to produce one third more blankets from the
same amount of fabric. We used to purchase fleece from various fabric shops but found that that was costing us $6-9.00/
yard. We now go to wholesalers because of our quantities of 70 – 100 yards and purchase for well under $4.00/ yard.
It’s called “Economy of Scale”.

Walt’sWanderings
I have put together a booklet describing how to make the blankets and have just updated it.
Each year my goal is to be able to contribute 50 to 60 blankets for the Society to use in their work. The work of
cutting and sewing these blankets has been very rewarding and satisfying. Knowing that my work will bring comfort
to others motivates me to continue.
Since I would like to share this reward I would ask any member of our community that has access to a sewing machine
to volunteer to sew some of these blankets. I will provide the two pieces of fleece cut to the proper measurements and
the necessary instructions to complete them. You can contact me at waltbischoff@gmail.com or at (908) 868-1050.

Automobile Facts and Trivia
by Randy Scott
Whenever a group of car enthusiasts gather, there is always talk of the “good old days” and historic memories. It
seems like everyone has an historic fact they want to share. I thought it might be of interest to flash back to the olden
days with some automobile fact and fiction followed by some recent statistics.
1. 1792 saw the opening of the first U.S. toll road in PA and CT.
2. 1896 was the year that The Duryea became the first production motor vehicle in the U.S.
3. 1900 saw the first Guide Michelin published mostly containing a list of gas stations in France.
4. 1901 was the year of the first Grand Prix race which was won with an average speed of 46 mph.
5. 1914 was the year that the first electric traffic light was installed in Cleveland.
6. 1923 ushered in the first time a radio was first offered as an accessory.
7. 1948 Harley Earl introduced the tail fin on the Cadillac which stayed with us for over a decade.
8. 1963 Seat belts were first offered as standard equipment.
9. 1974 Saw the implementation of the National 55 mph speed limit because of oil shortages.
10. 1974 The average American family spent 33 percent of their yearly income for a new car. In 1995 the average was

The Cook’s Corner
German Butter Kuchen
by Walt Bischoff
Ingredients:
1 pkg. dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
4 cup flour
½ cup butter, unsalted
¼ cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tsp. salt
1-¼ cup heavy cream
Topping:
6 Tbs salt butter, cut into ¼” cubes
¾ cup sugar
Dissolve yeast in warm water for about 10 minutes with about 1 tsp of the sugar. Place four cups of the flour, the
remaining sugar, butter, and salt in food processor. Using dough or steel blade, process for about 3 seconds. Mix yeast
mixture with cream and egg yolks. Add cream mixture to flour mixture and process until dough holds together.
Knead dough, adding flour, if necessary until smooth. Place in warm buttered bowl, turn buttered side up. Let stand,
covered with buttered plastic wrap until doubled (approximately 1-1/2 hours). At this point, dough can be refrigerated
overnight. If so, let it warm to room temperature before punching down.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Roll dough into an 18"x16" rectangle on lightly floured surface. Place on greased baking sheet and cover with plastic
wrap. Let rise in warm place for about 1 hour.
Imbed the butter cubes at regular intervals in the top of the dough. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top.
Bake at 350° for about 35 to 45 minutes. It should be golden and sound hollow when tapped. Cool on wire rack.
Serve warm or cold.
Yield = 48 pcs
WW Smartpoints = 4
