Three Vie For Two School Board Seats

By Catherine Galioto With the filing deadline past, the November school board race for Jackson shows two incumbents are seeking re-election while a popular longtime coach hopes to earn a seat on the board.

Jackson’s board of education has two seats for three-year terms up this year. Three are running: incumbent Sharon Dey of Melissa Lee Drive, incumbent Thomas Colucci of Danielle Court and retired longtime district athletic director and coach Michael Walsh of Leanne Drive, who ran last year.

Dey is seeking her fourth term on the board, where she’s served the last

Safe To Swim In? County Tests Beaches For Bacteria

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The regular testing by county health officials reveal several beaches with higher-than-permitted levels of harmful bacteria, but in several cases the next-day levels would drop to safety enough for the beaches to remain open.

Each year from mid-April to early September, the Ocean County Health Department monitors the county’s more than 70 rivers,

lakes, creeks and other waterways to ensure their safety for bathers. Ocean County Department of Health Public Information Officer Leslie Terjesen said the county’s salt water and brackish water—partly salty, partly fresh—is tested every Monday and its creeks, ponds and lakes each Tuesday.

They are looking for elevated levels of certain bacteria that are harmful to humans.

“We are a resort area, we have tourists

coming down, we certainly want people to be able to enjoy the water. If the bacteria or Enterococcus comes out high, day one, we let each municipality know. They post it at their beach,” Terjesen said.

They test for Enterococcus and Fecal Coliform, both bacteria found in the intestines of warm-blooded mammals. Enterococcus must read below 104 colonies per 100 ml (Beaches - See Page 5)

enables the township to recoup money it may have spent cleaning up the properties.

“People jump on, ‘Oh, there’s a major problem, that’s why we passed it.’ We noticed at times we’ve had to do stuff, or should do stuff to a property that costs us money, taxpayers’ money, and we want to have way to recoup it and also take action quicker,” Bressi said. “There is an ordinance on the books and this is an amendment to a part that should have been there when we passed it the first time to ensure that we can go after our money.”

The Jackson Times reached out the township’s administration and public works department about the time and money spent to clean such properties, but did not receive a response by presstime.

State law defines what an abandoned property is, under the Abandoned Properties Rehabilitation Act. “Abandoned properties, particularly those located within urban areas or in close proximity to occupied residences and businesses, create a wide range of problems for the communities in which they are located, fostering criminal activity, creating public health problems and otherwise diminishing the quality of life for residents and business operators in those areas,” the Act states. “Abandoned properties diminish the property values of neighboring properties and have a negative effect on the quality of life of adjacent property owners, increasing the risk of property damage through arson and vandalism and

discouraging neighborhood stability and revitalization.”

In Jackson, many such homes are in the foreclosure process, Bressi said.

“They’re not being cared for or they’re in a dangerous condition, broken doors, kids get in,” Bressi said. “This allows us to take action and bill the owners of the property.”

Under the amendment, a property is considered abandoned when it’s not legally been occupied for six months and meets other criteria: it’s in need of rehabilitation; construction was started and is abandoned and uninhabitable; property taxes are delinquent; the property has been deemed a nuisance. Property that is both residential and non-residential may also be deemed abandoned if two-thirds of the property is residential space and unoccupied for six months.

A property is considered vacant, whether residential or other, when it hasn’t been legally occupied for three months. These properties, however, are in working order and maintained.

Both owners of abandoned and vacant properties must register with the township’s Code Enforcement Office.

The first-time and renewal fee is $250 per property by January 31 of each year, and the township requires the names of the legal owners and as well as a manager’s and all contact information to the property be filed with that office and posted on the property.

Owners must maintain each property or face liens against the property.

Noncompliance can lead to fines of $500 to $1,000 per day per offense.

Colucci is seeking his second term.

Walsh worked in the Jackson School District as a teacher, coach and administrator for 33 years before his retirement last year.

Walsh received 1,888 votes in the 2015, which was about 100 away from winning a spot. That year, newcomer John Burnetsky received 2,362 votes, previous board member Scott Sargent had 2,071 and newcomer Vicki

Grasso had 1,981 votes out of a total 13,407 votes, in a field that had eight candidates.

Plumsted For the Plumsted school district, the school board has an uncontested race for two, threeyear terms. Incumbent Leslie Septor of Sanders Lane and Joseph Surdo of Huckleberry Lane are running.

The filing deadline was 4 p.m. July 25 through the county clerk’s office.

The non-partisan school board races will be part of the November 8 general election day.

Rutgers Master Gardeners Donate Produce To Local Charities OCEAN COUNTY – The Rutgers Master Gardeners of Ocean County volunteers (RMGOC), in conjunction with the Farmers Against Hunger organization, pick the “imperfect” produce grown during the local farmers’ growing season. Farmers Against Hunger advertises when the produce is ready to be gathered

by RMGOC volunteers, who then come out to gather, clean and then donate the produce to local organizations, such as Catholic Charities, Peoples Pantry, Visitation Relief Center and various church soup kitchens and local food banks.

The RMGOC also runs a garden in which produce is grown, harvested and donated to local food banks and charities. This garden is under the chair of Noreen Baris, Kathy D’Antonio, Rick Marine and Sue Priolo. These chairs also organize the pickings with Farmers Against Hunger.

Last year, RMGOC harvested, gleaned and distributed over 9,000 pounds of produce such as corn, cucumbers, eggplant, apples, butter nut squash, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, white potatoes and cabbage to local Ocean County food banks.

water and Fecal Coliform below 200 colonies per 100ml of water to be considered safe. The water is immediately resampled to test the levels again.

According to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, “Swimming in or contact with polluted water can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea , vom it i ng, d ia r rhea , a nd abdominal pain, respiratory symptoms like sore throat, cough, runny nose, and sneezing, eye and ear symptoms including irritation, earache, and itchiness, der matological sy mptoms li ke sk i n rash and itching, and f lu-like symptoms such as fever and chills. These symptoms are minor most of the time, but can occasionally be more serious, especially in sensitive populations, such as in children and elderly. People should also not swim with open sores, and see a doctor if a cut does become infected after water exposure.”

For example, the county tested both b e a c h e s a t H a r r y Wr ig ht L a ke i n Manchester. The levels exceeded the county’s limits on July 20. The bacteria levels were even higher the following day. While sunbathers were still allowed on the beach, the lake was closed for swimming on July 22 and 23. When the lake was tested at the beginning of the season on May 17, both beaches were well below county limits on bacteria levels.

The Jackson Times, July 30, 2016, Page 5 “Anybody has the ability to close the beach on the first high count, but it’s not a requirement per the regulations,” OCHD Environmental Health Coordinator John Protonentis said. “The second high count is to close the beach.”

“If they go back the next day, if it’s a high count again, we close the beach, and it will not reopen until we do what’s c a l le d a s a n i t a r y su r vey,” Terjesen added. “We have to get a good result, then we do a sanit a r y su r vey: Is there an area of birds? is there a boat leaking? We look to make sure there’s nothing besides the lack of movement of water and the rain and the bacteria. So we take this very seriously, we have a summer crew that comes out every day.”

Protonentis said the reason for closings is almost always rain related.

“Most of our high counts we get in the summer are rain driven. It you might get an outlier if we had a complaint if somebody let loose their holding tanks, so far and few between. The rain is really what drives the numbers up,” he said.

Micromedia Publications asked about two specific areas, the beaches in Beachwood and Windward Beach in Brick. Although

closings of beaches are typically rare, those have been known to have issues over the years. Beachwood beaches were named among some of the dirtiest back in 2011.

“After it rains, to wait at least 24 hours before they go in the water, because what happens is a lot of runoff, what you have in Beachwood the storm drains, the same thing at Windward Beach, so there’s higher bacteria content at that time. Also Beachwood at a cove, so there’s not a lot of movement as there is in the rest of the bay and the rest of the river.

The same thing with Windward beach, it’s pretty inland, so you’re get ting that r u n- of f but not movement,” Terjesen said.

Beachwood has been good this summer, she added.

“They sunk a bunch of money into the Beachwood infrastructure over there for the storm water runoff. What we saw is it’s getting better since they did all the work. Most of the river sites on the toms river are going to be little higher after the rain,” Protonentis said. “Windward is up on the Metedeconk, but it’s the same thing.

They get a lot of pollution from upstream, depending on what’s up there, that’s what going to carry down to the beach areas for swimming after rain.”

“Beachwood we test early because we

wanted to see if the infrastructure changes were actually doing anything,” Protonentis said. The fi rst recorded level in Beachwood in June showed 10 cfu per 100 ml.

The readings were below 10 the following week, but on July 18 read 100 cfu, just below the 104 limit.

Beachwood Borough did not respond by press time for comment.

Up at Windward Beach this season, Brick Recreation Director Dan Santaniello said the season thus far has seen advisories but no closings.

“Those advisories are just that the levels are elevated, and they want to get a second test the next day, and always those levels have went down from the previous day,” Santaniello said. The lifeguards are constantly raking the beach for glass, geese droppings, and seaweed, he said. Three times a week at Windward they run a beach sweeper as well.

The latest reports at press time showed that Harry Wright Lake, Lake Horicon in Lakehurst, and Ocean County Park Beach all tested high for Fecal Coliform on July 19. While the numbers were within acceptable range in Lakehurst and Lakewood the following day, Harry Wright Lake stayed high.

OCHD is part of a five-county and other state and local agencies Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program, part of the NJ DEP. Thus far during the summer beach season, all beaches have been open 99.9 percent of the time for bathing.

Editorial Give Volunteering A Chance A lot of people want to make their community a better place to live, but few know how to go about doing it. The dilemma is an easy one to solve. If you want to make your community a better place to live, volunteer for something.

Anything. Just give your time.

As much as elected officials matter, there may be no group of citizens who have an impact on a community more than its volunteers. Whether it’s in public or civic life, for nonprofit groups or the township, in many ways volunteers make the world go ‘round.

These are people who give up their own time for others. These are folks who give of themselves so others may enjoy their lives just a little more. They clean up roads and help in hospitals; they work with local children and run group fundraisers; they sit on township committees and work with the elderly; and on and on and on.

Volunteers deserve great praise for what they give to the community, helping a number of causes and groups, which in turn help out friends and neighbors in ways big

and small.

Probably the best-known volunteers are the area’s volunteer first aid squads and fire departments.

And that is where the pluses of volunteerism, and the negatives of declining volunteers in the area, are best shown.

Towns throughout the area are experiencing an unusual problem: As their population grows by leaps and bounds, the number of people willing to volunteer for local first aid squads and fire departments has diminished.

Not only has this trend caused problems for communities trying to provide the best emergency services possible, it has also cost towns money as they move towards professional services. While this trend is expected, it’s too bad.

Volunteers have always made for a better, closer community.

If you have some time to give, even just a few hours a week or on weeke n d s , w e u rg e y o u t o consider giving some of that time to a local civic group, charitable organization or emergency service squad. You, and your neighbors, will be glad you did.

Letters To The Editor New Engines Aren’t Effective The formerly reliable diesel engine has become a thing of the past. Just 10 years ago engines were produced that could be rebuilt multiple times and seemingly last forever. I have seen WWII vintage engines running daily through my career beginning in 1970, and they had already been in service 25 years then.

The past few years have seen that change with environmental regulation getting involved. The diesel engines produced now burn substantially more fuel in the name of cleaner air, which is already cleaner than it was 100 years ago. Construction equipment is such a small fraction in air pollution statistics that no appreciable difference will ever be noted in air quality for these changes.

Companies that have purchased this new generation of diesel engine are already regretting their decision. Not only do they burn more fuel to perform the same work, but the initial cost has ballooned in just a few years, far outpacing artificially low inflation rates. Then there is the maintenance and downtime costs, these computer-mastered engines decide on their own whether they will run or not, with downtime far more frequent than in the past. Downtime for the companies in this respect is at an all-time high.

I see this from a worker’s perspective with 45 years’ experience and the tradeoff for whatever minute benefit has been achieved has been far outstripped by increased costs across the board.

James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor

Independent Candidate For 2nd Congressional District I am running for Congress because the people deserve better than what the ‘Big Money’ duopoly of Elephants and Donkeys have to offer.

The Dems and Repubs are a two-headed monster with a single body. Like a vampire lusting for blood, this political duopoly lusts for money. They fight each other for the biggest corporations and richest individuals in an attempt to satisfy their greed.

Once their political prize is attained, it is these deep pockets they serve.

For all Congress critters, constituent service should be their greatest priority. This is part and parcel of the job and for the most part done well enough by nearly all of them. This is the reason that the American people when polled express disgust with Congress but like their own Congress critter well enough to return them to office year after year.

Congressman Frank LoBiondo, first elected in 1994 with his six-term limit pledge is now going for his 12th term.

He attempted to justify reneging on his pledge in almost patriotic terms: “Because other Congressman have broken the term limit pledge, it would be unfair to people in his district to abide by it.”

In reality. he couldn’t say the real reason, which was the splendor of eating from the trough.

Mr. LoBiondo’s constituent service has been as good as anyone in Congress, however it is his National Service which raises questions. For

him to have a 93 percent ranking by the NRA means he will not likely support bills requiring background checks or the buying of guns at gun fairs. For a family who loses a loved one from gun violence, no amount of constituent service can ever justify such poor National Service.

Another example of the corrupting influence of big money contributions to Mr. LoBiondo come from his membership in the Drone Caucus. This is basically a group of 58 Congressmen who do the bidding of the drone industry in getting Bills passed favorable to the drone manufacturers’ interests. In return they have received since 2011 $2.3 million. The Constitutional Protections and Privacy Rights of the American people are irrelevant to Mr. LoBiondo and his Caucus colleagues. It’s all about the money.

There are nine major platform priorities which motivate my Congressional candidacy: 1. Income Inequality. It is unacceptable that the top 1/10th of 1 percent have as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent.

2. Ending the corrupting influence of millionaires and billionaires like the Koch Brothers who attempt to buy elections, leaving in place a rigged economy benefitting the 1 percent at the expense of everyone else.

3. Committed to Medicarefor-All. This would provide a single level of care for all Americans without insurance companies being allowed to profit and interfere in the relationship between patients and their physicians. With government officials having the same healthcare as ordinary citizens they would have motivation to make sure it’s the best healthcare possible.

4. Climate change must be immediately addressed by ending our dependence on fossil fuels. In addition to the climate problems they cause cancer, lung disease, and asthma. Recent epidemiological research suggests the ultrafine particles emitted when fracked gas is combusted is a likely factor in the increasing incidence of dementia, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. We must transform our energy system to clean energy jobs with decent salaries for

American workers.

5. Free tuition for students in public colleges and universities. This to be financed by a tax on all financial transactions between the “too big to fail banks.” We bailed them out, now it’s their turn to bail out the American students who are now drowning in predatory loans.

6. Stopping international trade agreements like the TPP. These agreements outsource American jobs to other countries and undermine the wages of American workers.

7. Guns must be controlled by commonsense measures such as instant background checks, closing down the gun show loopholes and banning automatic and assault weapons. It would be a badge of honor to be given a 0 percent ranking by the NRA. 8. Commitment to peaceful solutions rather than violence & war. It is the unforeseen and unconsidered consequences of the Iraq invasion which created ISIS. Recently both Clinton and Trump declared the actions on Bastille Day in Nice, France as an Act of War rather than the actions of a mentally ill person. ISIS claiming that he was one of their foot soldiers is not proof of anything more than a shared hatred of the West. The epidemic of fear and hatred being fueled by politicians on both sides of the aisle makes critical the need for Independent voices in Congress to combat the insanity.

The ultimate elephant in all the Mideast tensions is the illegal occupation for nearly 50 years of Palestinian territory by Israel. America must be an unbiased mediator in this quagmire. It is only when America demands a level playing field in negotiating a just solution will peace prevail.

9. Commitment to work for ending the “Drug War.” We must stop locking up so many non-violent drug offenders and invest in jobs and education instead of more jails and incarceration. It is only by the government controlling and regulating drugs will the deaths of so many Americans from too pure or too impure drugs finally end.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Wage System Change Could Increase Pay To Base Employees

JOINT BASE – The U.S. Office of Personnel Management announced on July 20 that the agency is proposing placing all Federal Wage System employees at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst into a single wage schedule. If implemented, the proposed rule will increase pay for roughly 600 employees located on the former McGuire Air Force Base and Fort Dix by considering them within the same locality pay area

as their Navy Lakehurst counterparts.

“Joi nt Ba se McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is one installation and the men and women who work there are part of one workforce,” said Smith, who represents half of the Joint Base and has authored the Joint Base Pay Parity Act. “While long overdue, OPM’s move to fix this outdated policy, which pays some workers at a lower rate for the same jobs performed across the

base, is a welcomed step and should be implemented expeditiously.”

The regulations follow an October 15 recommendation by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC) to make this change. After six months of inaction on OPM’s part, Smith again urged the Acting Director Beth F. Cobert to accept FRAC’s recommendations and issue final regulations that correct this outdated policy in an April

letter.

“Joint basing has been successfully implemented at McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, but there remains an outstanding issue of gross unfairness for some employees,” Smith said. “Once this regulation is adopted, roughly 600 civilians on JB MDL will finally receive equally earned pay.”

The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) created 12 joint bases, including

what is now Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. After the Joint Base was formally established in 2009, Smith and the New Jersey Delegation lobbied OPM to move the McGuire AFB and Fort Dix employees into the New York region to establish parity on the installation. OPM responded by designating the General Schedule employees for better locality pay, but this regulation did not include the wage grade employees.

“The Joint Base’s missions are vital to our national security and could not be carried out effectively without the skills of the men and women stationed there, and those working in civilian support roles across the base,” said Smith.

JB-MDL is the largest employer in the region, second only to the State of New Jersey as the largest employer in the Garden State, and contributes $6.9 billion annually to the regional economy.

From The Des� O� The Ocean Co�nty Freeholders: OCEAN COU NTY – Ocean County off icials say that while the state’s criminal justice bail reform may have good intentions, it’s the price tag that will be passed along to taxpayers that has them very concerned.

Citing the impact the downturn in the economy a nd Superstor m Sa ndy has had on the county’s finances, officials voiced disappointment that the m a n d a t e d b a i l r efo r m program comes with no f inancial help from the state for implementation.

“We can’t print money like the federal government nor should we have to impose upon our taxpayers to fund the state’s criminal justice reform,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Department of Finance.

New Jersey voters, in the November 2014 general election, approved an amendment to the state Constitution that allows for bail reform.

Freeholder Deputy Dir e c t o r G e r r y P. Lit t le said however the ballot question didn’t mention it would come with a significant cost to the taxpayer.

“The ballot question, unfortunately, seemed to omit several key impacts, but our greatest concern is who will be responsible

Bail Reform Costs Concerns Freeholders

to pay for its implementation,” Little said. “The funding source for bail reform comes from local taxpayers. It should not have to be our taxpayers.”

Little strongly emphasized the people of New Jersey approved a state mandate state pay constitutional amendment and it’s the state’s responsibility to fully fund this new mandate.

According to the New Jersey Cou r ts website, starting January 1, 2017, the state will shift from a system that relies principally on setting monetary bail as a condition of release to a risk-based system. The statute also sets deadlines for the timely filing of an indictment and the disposition of criminal charges for incarcerated defendants.

Pilot programs in three vicinages, Camden, Morr is/Sussex a nd Passaic counties are all underway and all have noted the heavy price tag associated with the program.

“With this legislation, we have to provide more space, more person nel, more overtime pay,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “These costs add up and they add up fast.

“Since we are obligated to follow the law and

implement this reform in Ocean County, as a Board we are entrusted by the taxpayers to make certain it is cost effective,” Kelly said. “From what we are hear ing, this refor m is nothing short of costly for the counties.”

Already starting with over-crowded conditions in its court facilities, the cou nt y mu st now f i nd room to accommodate at least the 15 new employees the Ocean County vicinage expects to bring on as part of the bail reform.

“And that is just the first number we have received,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vic a r i , who s e r ve s a s liaison to Buildings and Grounds. “Our court facilities are heavily used by the public and space is already at a premium.

“We cannot magically erect new buildi ngs to accommodate more employees. These things take time and careful planning and should be fully funded by the state of New Jersey,” Vicari said.

And, new sheriff’s officers, assistant prosecutors and associated staff will have to be hired by the county.

“A program like this requires a number of new positions,” said Freeholder Vi rg i n ia E. Hai nes.

“But the question remains how do we pay for them?”

While the state is expected to pay the salaries of the Pretrial Services Unit that would be established to run the bail reform program, millions of dollars i n other costs must be borne by the counties.

“But, we must pay for the operation, maintenance and capital improvements to the courthouse and we are mandated by the state to fund county sheriff and prosecutor’s offices,” Kelly said. “The additional staff is needed because a lot of this work is expected to take place within 48 hou r s of a n a r re st.

A l most a s s u r e d ly t h is would include weekends when we are not generally operating.”

Vicari said the counties were not provided a true picture by the state when it was proposi ng these reforms.

“No one realized the long-term financial ramifications. The state didn’t talk about it,” Vicari said.

“The state can’t impose a two percent cap on us and then give us an unpaid state mandate.

“Our count y has a large population of seniors who live on fixed i ncomes,” Vica r i said.

“They shouldn’t have to pay for this.”

The New Jersey Association of Counties, an advocacy group for county governments in New Jersey, suggests Boards of Freeholders throughout the state support the proposed “County Government Criminal Justice Refor m Administration Fund,” which if approved by the state legislature, would modestly increase certain criminal and civil court fees and dedicate the increases to county governing bodies to implement the new criminal justice reform law. The proposed legislation has the support of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

John Donnadio, president of NJAC, recently told the Freeholders the criminal justice refor m leg i sl a t io n d o e s c o m e w it h sig n i f ic a nt c o s t s that were not anticipated.

He suggested the Freeholders reach out to their s t a t e leg i sl a t ive d ele gat ions to specif ically discuss criminal justice reform.

“We have to get some k i nd of leg islat ive re lief,” he said. “We have

to let them k now these are real expenses.”

Costs to implement the refor m f rom cou nt y to county differ, but in most cases the price tag is in the millions. The total c o s t s fo r a l l c o u n t ie s collectively to implement the legislation could be an estimated $50 million in the first year.

County off icials have suggested that at the conclu sion of t he cu rrent pilot program, the state should sur vey the st a keholders i nclud i ng prosecutors, sheriffs, judiciary and freeholders in order to look at alternat ives that will ma ke the new law less burdensome on the taxpayers.

“Based on the results of the survey, the law could be amended,” Little said.

Meanwhile, the new bail reform is said to possibly result in a reduction of the county jail population, but there is no way to calculate how much savings that would provide, if any.

“It all comes back to the costs associated with bail reform,” Bartlett said. “I am hopeful the state will see its clear responsibility and fund the changes.”

Jackson Fire Department Shares Hurricane Tips

JACKSON – For the 2016 hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak activity occurring mid-August to late October, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a 70 percent likelihood of 10 to 16 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which four to eight could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including one to four major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher). While a near-normal season is most likely with a 45 percent chance, there is also a 30 percent chance of an above-normal season and a 25 percent chance of a below-normal season.

Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to coastlines and several hundred miles inland as was learned with Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Winds can exceed 155 miles per hour toppling trees on roadways, homes and utility lines knocking out power for days. Hurricanes have the ability to create heavy thunderstorms, spawn tornadoes or microburst and cause extensive damage from heavy torrential rainfall creating flash flooding in minutes.

Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on their wind speed, central pressure and damage potential. Category 3 and higher hurricanes are considered major hurricanes, though categories 1and 2 are still extremely dangerous and warrant the public’s full attention. The Jackson Bureau of Fire Safety 3 Fire Official Frank McDonnell has some tips

to help residents prepare this season.

Before a Hurricane: Make plans to secure the property. Board up windows with 5/8 -inch marine plywood. Be sure trees and shrubs around homes are well trimmed.

Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts. Determine how and where to secure any boats.

During a Hurricane: Listen to the radio or TV for information. Residents should secure their homes, close storm shutters and secure outdoor objects or bring them indoors. Turn off utilities and turn the refrigerator thermostat to its coldest setting keeping doors closed. Turn off propane tanks. Avoid using the phone, except for serious emergencies.

Have a supply of water for sanitary purposes.

Fill the bathtub with containers of water.

Residents should evacuate if they feel they are in danger, if they are directed by local authorities to do so, if they live in a mobile home or temporary structure – such shelters are particularly hazardous during hurricanes no matter how well fastened to the ground and if they are near a river or waterway.

If unable to evacuate, residents should stay indoors during the hurricane and away from windows and glass doors. They should also close all interior doors – secure and brace external doors and take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level.

For more information on hurricane preparedness, go to nhc.noaa.gov/prepare.

Former Jackson Mayor Tapped For Brick Judge Job

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Brick resident Joseph D. Grisanti, 55, is the newest municipal court judge for the township. Grisanti, who once served as mayor of Jackson, has more than a decade in law enforcement and prosecution.

“I had the opportunity as mayor to have a new municipal court judge,” said Brick Mayor John Ducey. “We did interviews and we found ourselves an excellent candidate.”

As a former FBI agent, Grisanti also has a law enforcement background, and he has a military background as well since he served and was honorably discharged as a first lieutenant of the New Jersey Army Reserves.

He has been a municipal prosecutor in Ocean County towns for the last 15 years.

As a judge for the municipal court for Brick Township, he would preside over the large number of maintenance violations, and would also deal with everything from marijuana possession to not having your dog on a leash, Ducey said.

In New Jersey, a judge must be a lawyer, be above reproach and have great ethics, he said.

Grisanti is a member of District 3 Ethics Committee, which acts as the investigative

and prosecutorial arm of the Supreme Court of New Jersey for grievances filed against New Jersey attorneys who have been accused of ethical improprieties, Ducey said.

To be nominated and to serve on the Ethics Committee, one must have a clean record and high standards, the mayor said.

Grisanti is also a member of the New Jersey Supreme Court Character Committee who reviews the personal records and reputation for each candidate for admission to the bar of the State of New Jersey.

“The Supreme Court appoints attorneys to basically do background checks, and if necessary, interviews, of applicants for anybody who wants to be a lawyer in New Jersey, so it’s a character committee, and obviously you want a judge of high character,” Ducey said.

“There’s DUIs here, there’s speeding tickets, various traffic tickets, and this gentleman has been a municipal prosecutor in a number of towns, so he has that aspect as far as municipal court experience,” he said.

The governing body voted unanimously in favor of Grisanti’s appointment, which will run from August 22 this year until August 21, 2019.

Police Of�icers Receive Recognition For DWI Enforcement

OCEAN COUNTY – Several Ocean County police officers were recognized at the BlueClaws pregame ceremony at First Energy Park on June 18 for their efforts with regard to drunk driving enforcement.

Among the nominees for this year’s Jason Marles 271 DWI Award was Jackson Police Officer Michael Kelly.

Officer Kelly has consistently been one of the department’s leaders in drunk and drugged driving arrests, and serves as one of Jackson’s certified Drug Recognition Experts (D.R.E.). Officer Kelly also serves as an instructor for New Jersey’s statewide D.R.E. program. Over the past year, Officer Kelly and Officer Mark Rodina were instrumental in developing in-service training for Jackson officers in order to become more effective at DWI recognition, enforcement and documentation.

Patrolman Marc Povlosky of the Staf-

ford Township Police Department was this year’s DWI award recipient. In 2015 alone, Patrolman Povlosky accrued 29 DWI arrests.

Also nominated were Christopher Linnell, Seaside Heights Police Department; Dimitri Tsarnas, Lacey Township Police Department and Patrick Mabie, Manchester Police Department.

This annual award is named in honor of Ocean Gate Police Officer Jason Marles.

During the pre-dawn hours of Thanksgiving, 2010, while driving home from work, Officer Marles was killed by a drunk driver on the Garden State Parkway in Toms River. Officer Marles had just completed a drunk driving enforcement detail prior to leaving work. The Ocean County Police Traffic Safety Officers’ Association honors Officer Marles’ memory each year with this award.

TO THE...

Comfort is very important when wearing your hearing aid(s). Discomfort occurs 10 percent of the time and usually happens when trying to remove your hearing instrument from your ear. In most cases, in-the-ear hearing aids (ITEs) and ear molds for behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTEs) can create a sore ear (usually towards the top of the aid or ear mold). When this happens, do not continue to wear the instrument. It’s not like breaking in a new pair of shoes! The next step is to contact your hearing healthcare professional who can assess the problem.

The majority of problems occur due to a “tight fit” and can be resolved by either grinding the mold/ aid or remaking the entire hearing

instrument or ear mold. Most hearing healthcare professionals can eliminate the problem by grinding and then buffing the problem area. You will be advised to wear the hearing instrument to “test drive” the modification. If this is unsuccessful, you should return to the office and have the aid and/or ear mold remade by the manufacturer. Remind the audiologist/dispenser to mark the area of soreness with a black marker to further reduce the risk of soreness reoccurring.

Remember, if your ear hurts don’t try to get use to it. You have invested a lot of time and money towards better hearing. Contact your hearing health-care professional immediately who will fix the problem.

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.

Nine Tips To Improve Energy And Stop Thyroid Problems

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. 1. There are many thyroid “bombs” and cigarettes are one of them. Smokers have lower serum TSH and higher free T4 and free T3 levels than non-smokers, which makes it appear like smokers don’t have thyroid disease even when they do.

2. Drive old cars. The new ones are off-gassing all the bromide and that competes with the iodine in the thyroid gland.

The bromine, not iodine, gets taken in and that causes the brain to feel fat and fuzzy as well as fussiness.

3. Reduce hydrogen peroxide. Everyone makes this compound in our cells as part of cellular metabolism, but some people make too much and it causes pain and fatigue. It’s a free radical. It can be reduced with supplements of Catalase and Glutathione.

4. Be careful in swimming pools and jacuzzis. Those spending a lot of time enjoying these activities should consider taking an iodine capsule (about 6.25mg) once or twice a week to restore lost iodine.

The chlorine in the pool competes with iodine and may suppress iodine uptake to the point of hypothyroidism.

5. Change toothpastes. Use a fluoride-free brand because fluoride is a bully.

It competes with iodine in the thyroid gland, which will almost always absorb fluoride over iodine. When this happens it blocks production of thyroid hormone.

6. Take a break from fermented foods.

Foods like tempeh, blue cheese, parmesan, salami, alcohol, kombucha and sauerkraut. These foods are loaded with histamine, a known trigger for autoimmune disorders. These cause loads of digestive

problems and fatigue. I wrote a more comprehensive article about this topic, now archived my website.

7. Stop eating candy and soda. Blood sugar swings cause terrible imbalances with sugar and insulin levels. Those eating these things will never get well; it is simply not physiologically possible.

High insulin (needed to neutralize the sweets) is a known factor for cancer, diabetes and pain, plus high insulin makes people overweight and tired.

8. Eat less raw goitrogenic foods. This could reduce the body’s ability to absorb iodine which reduces thyroid levels and starves the reproductive organs of healthy iodine. Avoid foods that are goitrogenic unless you cook them. For example, juicing raw kale every morning is a no-no in my book. Cooking it daily is fine and incredibly healthy. See the difference? Watch out for superfood green powder drink mixes that contain goitrogens. Some common ones include alfalfa, broccoli and cauliflower powders. Also, if drinking this stuff every day it may backfire and cause fatigue.

9. Make sure to digest food. I didn’t say eat the food, I said “digest.” The problem is that food isn’t always broken down completely. This partial digestion is due to years of insult from a bad diet, which reduces secretion of digestive enzymes and increases zonulin. So I suggest taking digestive enzymes to help completely break down all the food. Pancreatin, pepsin, bromelian and others exist in supplemental form, which reduces the amount of ‘circulating immune complexes’ that trigger autoimmune flare-ups.

Grant Helps With Transportation Needs

OCEAN COUNTY – Under an auto ownership program administered by Ocean County, about 80 people will receive help resulting in a viable means of transportation.

“A viable means of transportation is often the one major barrier standing between a single-mother and life opportunities like employment and child care,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the Department of Human Services.

Ocean County expects to reduce that hurdle as it continues its Auto Ownership program in conjunction with St. Francis Community Center on Long Beach Island.

“This program has provided used cars to low income individuals seeking to enter the workforce, in particular in Southern Ocean County,” Haines said. “Viable and safe transportation means individuals can access employment and training opportunities helping them to become self-sufficient wage earners.

“This program not only provides a car,

but it provides a person with a renewed self-esteem and pride in getting back on their feet and regaining their independence,” Haines said. “Ocean County is the only county in the state to run such a program. It is part of the many social and human services we provide to the needy in order to help them regain their independence.”

The program is funded by a $71,630 transportation block grant through the federal program known as TANF or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

Individuals are referred to the program by the Ocean County Board of Social Services. The Board of Freeholders awarded the competitive contract to St. Francis to operate the program on June 15.

“It’s an important step to a better life,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “I commend St. Francis for working in partnership with the county and other agencies to help those who are in need. It truly makes a difference.”

Under the program, St. Francis solicits donated vehicles from local car dealers,

churches and the general public and partners with local businesses and Ocean County Vocational-Technical Schools to negotiate reduced costs for auto repairs and insurance policies. Ocean County government has donated used vehicles to the program.

Additionally, St. Francis works with clients to arrange driving lessons, and provides instruction in auto maintenance.

“We anticipate about 80 clients will benefit from the program this year,” Haines said. “While not all will receive a used car, some will be provided with assistance to cover vehicle maintenance costs, registration and title costs, or for their initial car insurance premiums and other related costs associated with having a vehicle.

“This helps with not just getting someone to work, but also to doctor’s appointment, to day care for their children,” Haines said. “Transportation opens up a host of opportunities to low income individuals who are trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.”

SUEZ North America Foundation To Award Environmental Grants

NEW JERSEY – Officials have recently announced that the SUEZ North America Foundation, the philanthropic arm of SUEZ North America, will award 50 grants of $1,000 each to organizations and projects dedicated to the environmental sustainability of communities across the country.

By Charles Daye HOWELL – Several dozen of the more than 275 dogs rescued from a Howell home hoarding case are already adopted, with official saying the hundreds of dogs are doing well and socializing in area shelters.

In early June more 276 dogs were rescued from a home on Bennett Road in Howell.

This was considered one of the largest

Rescued Dogs Doing Well

hoarding cases reported in Monmouth County. The dogs were mixed breeds and small terriers.

Lieutenant Thomas Nuccio of the Monmouth Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said all the dogs are “doing pretty well.” Between 50 and 60 dogs have already been adopted.

Healthwise, most of the dogs were in good

shape. A few of them had parasite issues which have since been taken care of. As officials and animal shelter staff converged on the home to assist the rescue, several dogs were discovered pregnant while another set had given birth.

Since the rescue, none of the dogs have died or needed to be euthanized, officials said.

www.micromediapubs.com

As a result of behavioral issues, approximately 20 dogs were sent to foster homes, Nuccio said. None were aggressive or violent but they were nervous, scared and emotionally shut down.

“Just trying to bring them out of their shell” said Nuccio, regarding the dogs in foster care.

Between 30 and 40 dogs still remain with the Monmouth SPCA and are still seeking new homes.

Meanwhile, the homeowners face more than 500 counts of animal cruelty, punishable by more than $1 million in fines, and appeared in court June 29 where they each plead not guilty.

Nuccio said the maximum fines is not a likely scenario, but that restitution could be pursued alongside community service or even jail time up to six months.

Each of the 552 counts (276 for animal cruelty for failing to provide proper and necessary veterinary care to their dogs and 276 counts of animal cruelty for inflicting unnecessary cruelty upon a living animal or creature by providing inhumane living conditions) have a $1,000 fine associated with the disorderly persons offense.

Fossils Car Club To Host Cruise Nights JACKSON – On the last Friday of the month in August and September, the Fossils Car Club of South Jersey is hosting a Cruise Night at the Jackson Plaza Shopping Center, 260 County Line Road from 5 to 9 p.m.

At the first Cruise Night in May, the Fossils had over 100 vintage cars, street rods, muscle cars and motorcycles in attendance.

Wolfman Jerry Jr. provided DJ entertainment. Plaza Wines and Liquor provided hot dogs and cold drinks for $1 apiece. The club held a 50/50 and all the money the Fossils collected during the cruise nights went to special needs children, veterans organizations and a scholarship to a high school student going into automotive trades.

There is no entrance fee, but the club does ask for a $1 donation.

Summer Assignments Now Available

JACKSON – The Jackson Township School District has posted its list of summer assignments by grade on its website.

The reading assignments are also on file at the Ocean County Library branches.

The list, by subject and grade level, is available at jacksonsd.org.

JACKSON – Jackson Mills Fire Company will have its annual open house on October 9.

The free event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the firehouse, 465-B North County Line Road.

The activities will be announced as the day approaches.

Freeholder: Make Summer & Everyday Safe For Children

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Lit tle, liaison to the Ocean Count y Board of Health, said, “We all want to keep our children safe and secure and certainly want to help them live to their full potential. Although there is a lot of literature on falls for older adults, falls are the leading cause of non-fatal inju-

ries for all children ages 0 to 19. Each d ay, approx i mat ely 8,0 0 0 ch ild re n are treated in emergency departments in the United States for fall-related injuries. We know that many of these injuries can be avoided.”

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health De pa r t me nt (OCH D) publ ic he alt h coordinator, points out some very im-

portant key prevention tips: Play safely – Falls on the playground are a common cause of injury. Make sure that the surfaces under playground equipment are safe, soft and consist of appropriate materials (such as wood chips or sand, not dirt or grass). The surface material should be an appropriate depth and well-maintained. If

the play area uses wood chips as its surface, make sure to check children and for ticks.

Make the home safer – Use home safety devices such as guards on windows that are above ground level, stair gates and guard rails. These devices can help keep a busy, active child from taking a dangerous tumble.

Keep sports safe – Make sure children wear protective gear during sports and recreation.

Supervision is key – Supervise young children at all times around fall hazards, such as stairs and playground equipment, whether at home or out to play.

Regenye said, “As parents, we always need to be aware of safety dangers that may affect our children. The Ocean County Health Department’s website offers safety tips for you and your family at ochd.org. Follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth and like us on Facebook.”

Inside The Law Settlement For Slip And Fall In Supermarket

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

R.C. Shea & Associates is pleased to announce that Michael J. Deem, Esq. recently obtained a $950,000 settlement on behalf of a young lady who slipped and fell in a supermarket on a freshly waxed floor.

The supermarket’s cleaning company failed to place any signage or warnings that the f loors were recently waxed and known to be extremely slippery.

Mr. Deem was able to suc-

cessfully demonst rate t hat t he Michael J. Deem Esq. cleaning company made a conscious decision to hire employees who did not follow the company’s safety policies and that the company was aware of the risks of harm associated with the employees’ failure to use warning signs when the floors are waxed.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Taking Action Against Obesity Dear Joel I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inflated balloon. My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embarrassed with the way I look. I no longer look good in anything; new clothes that I buy do nothing to change my situation. What can I do?

Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make.

You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal training in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Both are at epidemic proportions in our country.

As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two organizations for people such as yourself and so many others who suffer with you.

Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges. Another organization is Overeaters Anonymous. These are inexpensive ways of working toward having a happier life. You may want to visit either as a guest.

Weight Watchers has a philosophy of changing one’s lifestyle with a benefit of weight reduction.

I am not a believer in starting exercise and diet at the same time. I feel that your chances of sticking with both are greater if you start either one a month or two apart.

Lastly, as I’m sure you are aware, this is a chicken-and-egg story. It may be that you are unhappy or depressed and use your obesity as a way of expressing it. In other words, it is the opposite of what you describe. I wish you well.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen No Sweat: Quick, Easy Creme Brulee Keeps You Out Of A Hot Kitchen This Summer

By Wolfgang Puck

Trends in cooking come and go. But in the world of desserts, creme brulee has real staying power. The thick, cool, creamy custard (creme) nestled underneath a brittle topping of burnt (brulee) sugar has such an elemental appeal that it’s a perennial favorite.

In spite of the dessert’s popularity, however, I haven’t really seen it catch on in any big way in home kitchens, for two main reasons. First and most important, many home cooks are intimidated by making custard, which calls for very slow, gentle, attentive cooking to make sure that it doesn’t curdle and turn into sweet scrambled eggs. And in summer, when a refreshing, soothing creme brulee might be just the thing, not many cooks want to stand over the stove stirring a pot of custard.

The second reason is the brulee topping. In professional kitchens, the sugar was traditionally caramelized under a salamander, a sort of industrial-quality super-hot broiler, which called for a watchful eye but did the job quickly.

Home cooks could use a regular broiler, but that’s slower and harder to watch, and does the job less evenly. In more recent years, pros and amateurs alike could burn the sugar with small butane kitchen torches; but I’ve found them not powerful enough to do a quick, thorough job.

I’m happy to say, though, that neither drawback exists any more, thanks to two relatively inexpensive devices.

First is a high-speed commercial-quality blender, the sort with 1050 watts of power and a maximum speed of 24,000 RPM. These used to be very expensive, but now you can get excellent home versions for under $200, ready to do everything from crushing ice to making superb smoothies to turning nuts into nut butters. Best of all, the friction generated by the blender’s highest speed can actually raise the temperature of ingredients to cooking heat, producing results like a hot ready-to-serve pureed vegetable soup or - you guessed it - a smooth, creamy custard for your creme brulee.

As for the burnt sugar, I’ve found that a small, hand-held butane torch like you can fi nd inexpensively in any large hardware store does the job far more efficiently than the smaller torches sold in gourmet shops; but those latter ones, or even your broiler, are also perfectly adequate if you’re prepared to take it more slowly and diligently.

With the help of these two modern conveniences, you can make amazing creme brulee in just a few minutes of work, without breaking a sweat. (You’ll still need to allow a few hours for chilling them, though.) And you’ll thrill your

family and friends by serving them what remains one of the trendiest desserts around!

QUICK AND EASY CREME BRULEE Serves 6 10 large cage-free egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, plus more for the brulee topping 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) heavy cream 3 slices peeled fresh ginger, each about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick 1/2 cup (125 mL) crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped, if necessary, or fresh berries First, make the custard mixture. Put the egg yolks, 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 1 tablespoon sugar, cream and fresh ginger in an 8-to-10-cup (1-to-1.25 l) high-powered commercial-quality blender. Put on the lid securely.

Turn on the blender to maximum speed.

Leave the blender running until you can see that the custard is steaming hot.

When you stop the blender and take off the lid, the temperature of the custard should measure about 195 F (90.5 C).

Blend for 7 to 8 minutes, turning off the blender to check with an instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the custard without touching the blades or canister.

Place six 3/4-cup (185-mL) ramekins or custard dishes on a rimmed pan. Divide the crystallized ginger or berries, if using, among the ramekins, spreading them evenly across the bottoms. Pour the custard from the blender into the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for several hours to overnight.

Before serving, uncover the custards.

Using a sugar shaker or a spoon, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over the custard.

To caramelize the sugar, light a handheld propane blowtorch or kitchen torch, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions. Holding the torch close enough to a ramekin so that the tip of the flame touches the sugar, caramelize the sugar layer on one custard, moving the flame back and forth until the sugar crystals melt and turn a deep amber.

Turn off the flame. Repeat the caramelizing process with the remaining custards.

Chill the ramekins until the caramelized sugar crusts are very cold and hard, about 1 hour (but do not refrigerate too long, or the crusts may melt). To serve, place the ramekins on small plates, instructing guests to crack the sugar topping by hitting it with the backs of their spoons.
