Co�ncil Candidates E�plain Priorities, Iss�es For Manchester
2016

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The Manchester coun‑ cil incumbents are facing mayor‑endorsed
challengers in the November 8 elections. Samuel Fusaro, James Vaccaro and Charles Frattini will try to retain their council seats

Borough, School Board Deal With Six Unimproved Lots
By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Six parcels throughout the borough were once given to the school board, but have remained unimproved for decades. The Borough is deciding how it could regain them, and possible sell three of the six lots. An agreement on the issue could mean new recreation opportuni‑ ties for Lakehurst, officials said. On the advice of their legal counsel, the Lakehurst Borough Cou ncil signed an agreement about six lots on Pine Street that now awaits approval from the
Lakehurst Board of Education. Mayor Harry Robbins explained: “There are six lots on Pine Street along the school. The buses used to park down Pine Str eet. The lots were given to Board of Ed‑ ucation in 1965 to be utilized for recreation for the kids. That never happened. It’s been a little bit of a battle to try to regain those lots since they never used them.” The funds from the sale of the three lots, which would also put them back on the tax rolls, could then be used to improve recreation offerings around Lakehurst, bor‑ ough officials said.
“Under the terms of this agree‑ ment, the Borough will sell the lots and provide funding for the sports‑related development of the three remaining lots for the children of Lakehurst. The Board and Council are excited to see this come to a collaborative ending,” Lakehurst school business ad‑ ministrator Barry Parliman said. Robbins explained further. “We put the lots on market to get tax dollars, then (the owner) put homes up,” said the mayor. “We’ve been butting heads, but now there are new people at the (Lots - See Page 7)
incumbents say those challengers have no record to run on, and “change” is an empty (Candidates - See Page 5)
Toms River Veterans Parade Moves To Nov. 14
By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – After a schedul‑ ing conflict for November 11 when schools were off, the Toms River Veterans Day Parade will move to Monday, November 14. That’s when schools are back in session, allowing marching bands and children to participate. November 11, schools are closed for the New Jersey Education Association convention. The parade down Main Street to Washington Street in front of Toms River Town Hall will step off 9 a.m. November 14. Paraders can line up behind The Office
Lounge at 8:30 a.m. Trying to reschedule the parade became an issue when it was dis‑ covered school groups likely could not participate during the school closure. Options such as whether to just have a town hall ceremony, move the parade date, or try to have a parade without bands were all floated, officials said. Toms River American Legion Post Commander Michael Schaf‑ fer said the Legion groups likely would have paraded either way, but with the date settled on for a November 14 parade he said (Parade - See Page 9)

promise.
The Incumbents Fusaro, who boasts 21 years on council and is its current vice president, helped usher in the new form of government back in 1990 when voters ousted incumbents and supported Stop Tax Oppression Promptly. He’s a retired U.S. Army CFO and project director who has sat on various govern‑ ment boards and committees throughout his tenure. Vaccaro, a retired manager from the U.S. Treasury Department and self‑employed forensic tax accountant, has sat on the planning board for 12 years—six as its chairman—and is president of the township council. Frattini, a retired photojournalist and Marine veteran, has sat on council for four years. He’s a member of the VFW and pres‑ ident of the first Catholic/Jewish interfaith committee. “We pride ourselves on independence. We pride ourselves on our education and our leadership abilities. We’ve been tested. We’ve been proven,” Vaccaro said. “Our accomplishments over four years are dy‑ namic compared to other governments. We will continue this over the next four years.” “The committee queried Vaccaro on sever‑ al of his proposals and found his responses to be well considered with a command of each topic. He demonstrated a clear under‑ standing of the current and future issues facing the local government as well as
The Manchester Times, October 15, 2016, Page 5 related topics at both the county and state levels,” John Barron, vice president of the Manchester Township Regular Republican Club, said. “...[T]he screening committee sought and received the unanimous en‑ dorsement of the Manchester Township Regular Republican Club for Vaccaro as candidate for the Manchester Township Council for the upcoming November 2016 election.” While each incumbent spoke of their in‑ dividual highlights, overall the incumbents took pride in their ability to keep municipal taxes stagnant and Manchester a friendly township for both families and seniors. “We have maintained a stable tax levy; if you look at the municipal tax from 2011 to 2016, which was basically the terms of this current council, that levy only went up $500,000. That sounds like a lot of a family, but for a $21 million budget, that is 3.4 percent over a five-year period,” Fusaro said. “To put it in dollars and cents, if a homeowner who has a $100,000 house, that homeowner would have only gone up $14 in that entire five years in municipal taxes.” “Each one of us will roll up our sleeves and work very hard for Manchester and for everyone who resides in Manchester. For senior citizens, we provide the best senior citizen programs. Education-wise, we are up around the top,” Vaccaro said. “The best place to live is Manchester. We want to make it very, very affordable and attract young families to Manchester, to grow Manchester for the future.” Their challengers see things differently.
The Challengers “I’m a local Realtor. I am very successful in bringing people from other areas to Man‑ chester. In the past, it was because we had this beautiful area and low taxes. I could compare our town to Jackson, to Toms Riv‑ er, to all the other towns, and we had more for less. I can’t do that anymore,” Finn said. “Our taxes are just the same as Toms River, just the same as Jackson, and we have very little to offer. So I would like to help bring down the taxes wherever possible and give our people in the township a little bit more.” Finn was appointed by Mayor Kenneth Palmer to the zoning board of adjustments; she, along with Foor helped during Palmer’s campaign for mayor, when he defeated Re‑ publican‑party backed incumbent Michael Fressola two years ago. Foor, a naval engineer and manager, was appointed by Palmer to the planning board and environmental commission. Markovski, currently The Renaissance community action chair and retired insur‑ ance vice president, has aided Palmer in his quest to get more equitable school funding. The three challengers have the backing of Palmer for the council bids. “When I ran for office, it was time for a change in Manchester. Felicia Finn was a huge supporter and she actually wanted to run for council at that time. However, we figured to begin the change, I stood a better chance if the election was a choice between Mayor Fressola and myself,” Palmer said. “I explained to the current councilmen that I promised Felicia I would support her.” Palmer praised the challengers’ attributes.
“The most appealing aspect of the Finn ticket are their individual distinct talents, experience and skill set. Felicia is an extremely successful Realtor who has knowledge about realty market and a ‘get it done’ mentality. Bill has multiple en‑ gineering degrees and given his years of employment on the Joint Base, he will bring a unique perspective to the council. Anne is an accomplished businesswomen with a financial history,” said the mayor. “Anne already has been a huge asset to me in the school funding formula fight and will be of great assistance in monitoring our budget and planning.” Finn, Foor and Markovski have been pleased with the progress Palmer has made while in office—although Foor and Markovski would have liked the Heritage Minerals plan handled differently, for dif‑ ferent reasons—and want to see council work together to see Palmer’s initiatives carried out. “We have to have some real serious initia‑ tives directly supporting Ken’s platform of what he wants to have done, and certainly have the five of us on council working toward that common goal of getting those effected,” Foor said. Weighing In On Endorsement But the incumbents are not impressed with the mayor’s endorsement of the challengers, and see it as a liability for the challengers, not themselves. “The opposition, who are looking to be elected, have their allegiance to the mayor. They have no choice but to follow (Candidates - See Page 7)

Board, and we’ve opened up communica‑ tions with the Board again to discuss what we could possibly do with that.” He described it as a win for the district, the town and residents. “They will be using some of property for recreation, a new basket ball court, then the remaining lots that borough will get will go up for auction, three buildable lots they will sell. We’ll get new residents in town, new ratables in town,” said the mayor. Specifically, the agreement could lead to improvements at Fuccile Park, said Robbins. “The money that borough receives, up to 75 percent of that share of money will go to Fuccile Park. At that point t he school could start a girls softball league and hard‑ ball league to compete,” said the mayor. Borough Council said the back‑and‑forth with the school has been going on for some

time, with disagreements on the language to use to come to an agreement. Borough attorney Sean Gertner urged Council to sign off on his fi nal recommendations to send back to the Board. “With the nuanced changes that keep coming back [from the Board], this is what we [the Council] believe is fair and agreed upon. Let us, the Council, say this our agreement, we’ve signed off on it. There’s not equivocation, this is what we want,” Gertner said. “We’ve had this out there since May. There are changes that don’t reflect the perceived agreement that keep coming back. My recommendation from mayor to Council is, let’s memorial‑ ize what we stand for, and move forward, and then the ball is in the school board’s cour t.” “Due to an extremely cordial collabora‑ tion between the Borough and the Board of Education, the Board is looking forward to the development of the Pine Street lots. The Board is excited that this process will soon beg in and the development and
improvements will be benefiting the residents of Lakehurst,” Parliman said. Why have the lots remained unused for more than 50 years?
“The simple answer to that is that the Boards (multiple years) never saw extra available funds to spend on the recreation aspect,” Parliman said.
have something coming from the mayor’s office, we have the choice of saying yea or nay. The opposition does not have that choice. This is why we, the three of us, are the better candidates.” However, all three challengers said they will make up their own minds on issues through their own research and opinions.
“As I told everyone at the fundraiser, I had a boss one time who said, ‘If I wasn’t making waves, I wasn’t doing my job.’ Bill and I have had this conversation. If he disagrees with me, I expect him to have an intellectual argument, and the same thing with Felicia. If we can’t disagree, and we’re going to be puppets, I don’t want to be part
of that,” Markovski said. Vaccaro, Fusaro and Frattini’s re‑elec‑ tion page can be found at facebook.com/ ContinuedGoodGovernmentTeam. Finn, Foor and Markovski’s election bid page can be found at facebook.com/Finn-Foor-Markovski-forManchester-Council-187141035031887.

Editorial Pay Attention To Full Ballot
Election Day is fast ap‑ proaching. On Tuesday, No‑ vember 8, you will be given a chance to exercise what is possibly your most import‑ ant civil right. While the Presidential race dominates the discussion, it is not the only race that will impact citizens. At each level of government, there are can‑ didates vying for your vote. You will be given the op‑ portunity to select the indi‑ viduals who will represent you in government. Do not take this right lightly. If you’re not already in‑ formed, time is running out. Get moving, get reading, get talking, and get thinking. This is especially true on the local level, for county seats, regarding state represen‑ tatives – we as voters have decisions to make. The key to making an informed decision is, not sur‑ prisingly, information. An informed electorate is a wise electorate. And few would argue that an informed elec‑ torate is a desirable goal. Learn about the issues. Listen to and participate in debates. Watch the news (and think about what you see). Without question, you’ll feel better about yourself and your vote if you’re an informed voter. And make no mistake, vot‑
ing is not something to take lightly. The importance of exercising that right cannot be overstated. It is your voice, and if you fail to exercise that voice, complaints about your representatives should deservedly fall on deaf ears. The American system of government is built around the vote. Inaccurately called a Democracy (it’s not), our Representative Republic form of government lies at the core of what has made this country grow from a loosely-knit group of British colonies to the world’s sole superpower. It all boils down to a re‑ markably simple system that is infinitely complex in detail: Each election cycle voters are asked to judge which candidate best rep‑ resents their ideals, beliefs and goals; which candidates are men and women with the leadership capabilities best needed at the time; and which candidate lack the stuff it takes to hold office. We vote based on those im‑ pressions. If elected, these officials theoretically rep‑ resent the will of the people they represent. Don’t remain silent. Don’t remain uninformed. Bring yourself up to speed and ensure that on November 8 you vote.

Letters To The Editor Transportation Rhetoric Quite A Tale It is astounding to read that our representatives in Ocean County – after not having faced a lack of funding for transportation, roads, bridges tunnels, road repairs, etc. for at least a quarter of a century ‑‑ are against the measure pro‑ posed in a bipartisan effort to finally solve the ghastly multiplying problem. They state their opposition, but have no solution at hand or even a hint at one method to supplant the increase of 23 cents per gallon with higher income taxes, sales taxes, a revision on taxes on the highest incomes in the state and disgustingly off‑ setting reductions suggested by some benefit only the richest in our demograph‑ ics, estate taxes lowered, etc. Look at the suggestions in the various newspapers and retch! The middle and lower mid‑ dle class as usual is getting cheated, while the best-off in the state, who do not care how much gasoline costs, will get the biggest offsets as things now stand. And our representatives in the legislature have no sugges‑ tions on how to solve the funding that has been their problem for 28 years. Great (grate) people in Trenton, and we elected them? Why? The so called “leader” of the Trenton Republicans has been on his own delusionary mission to be elected Pres‑ ident or has been carrying water, coffee and hamburg‑
ers for the main failing (now fallen) candidate for President. Christie has been neglecting New Jersey and its problems for years. Selfish megalomanic greed ruled and cheated all citi‑ zens of both parties. And then we have the pension debacle … have you seen any solutions dis‑ cussed lately? Jersey bridg‑ es are falling and retiring NJ workers are preparing for poverty! Jack Doyle Whiting
Why Is It? Why is it that Congress forgot they represent all the people, regardless of the parties? Why is it that the President has forgotten that he is the President of all the people? Why is it that Congress is always in gridlock and doesn’t do the job that we sent them to Washington to do? Why is it that the Su‑ preme Court forgot that it represents all the people and doesn’t have to make decisions along party lines? Why is that we can’t seem to find a way for the world to be at peace? Why is it in today’s mod‑ er n world there is still hunger, and some people don’t have a roof over their heads? Why is it today that people seem to be moving away from G-d? Why is it today we can’t seem to find time to give thanks for all that we have? Why is today that we are still building bombs of de‑

Oppose Casino Expansion Casino expansion is an‑ other scheme from Trenton politicians that would lead to the loss of tens of thou‑ sands of jobs and cause bil‑ lions in economic losses.

Manchester Republican Club Endorses Vaccaro The 2016 screening com‑ mittee of the Manchester Township Regular Repub‑ lican Club met on May 3 at t he home of Vice President John R. Barron. The committee, appointed
as per the club’s bylaws, consisted of Cheryl Myles, president; Bar ron, vice president; Carol Sabbo, secretary; and members nominated from the floor: Wi l l ia m Pe ck , Don ald Bates and Richard Work. The committee screened just one candidate that met the preliminary qual‑ ifications established in the bylaws, James A. Vac‑ caro. Vaccaro submitted a letter of interest along with a detailed resume of his pertinent professional, political and leadership experiences and his edu‑ cational background. Vaccaro responded to all vetting questions proffered by the committee and pre‑ sented a detailed list of his experiences in government and public service. The committee queried Vacca‑ ro on several of his propos‑ als and found his responses to be well considered with a command of each topic. He demonstrated a clear understanding of the cur‑ rent and future issues fac‑ ing the local government as well as related topics at both the county and state levels. An obvious strength for Vaccaro is his profession‑ al experience in areas of finance and taxes and, in fact, he holds a degree in accounting from Villanova University. He is highly qualified and experienced as a forensic accountant and has been recognized be several authorities in‑ cluding the U.S. Congress and the N.J. State Senate for his many years of dis‑ t i ng u ished com mu n it y service. At the club’s regular meet‑ ing on May 26 the screen‑ ing committee sought and received the unanimous endorsement of the Man‑ chester Township Regu‑ lar Republican Club for Vaccaro as candidate for the Manchester Township Council for the upcoming November 2016 election.

the Post groups were looking forward to participating. Several veterans came out to the previous town council meeting, where Mayor Kelaher addressed the concern. The next day, veterans also attended the county freeholders meeting, since Washington Street is a county road. “The permits have all been granted and ever ything is settled,” Schaffer told The Toms River Times. Ken Langdon is the parade committee chairman, who helped to iron out the
agreement and make sure the parade would have a date. With the parade about an hour long, concer ns over a traff ic impact were minor, Langdon said. “We’re making a big fuss for dis‑ rupting the community for one hour?” he said, at the Toms R iver Council meeting, urging the parade move to November 14. Multiple bands and community groups have signed up for the parade, one of the county’s largest for Veteran’s Day.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid Statistically, hearing‑impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four‑year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times … Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purpos‑ es) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid). The second most common cause of hear‑ ing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months). A third reason for hearing aid malfunction
is that most patients do not receive routine follow‑up services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either threemonth or six‑month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health care professional. In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush. 2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery. 3. Ask your hearing health care profes‑ sional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid. 4.

How Some Pain Killers Also Kill Your Pleasure
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. There is a strong divide among users of prescription pain killers and those who are opposed to them. I’m referring to opiate analgesics such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine and others. The street drug heroin is a highly addictive opiate. For the record, I’m not opposed to pain kill‑ ers when they are prescribed by a caring pain management doctor. Having worked in rehab centers and with hospice patients, I know these drugs are often indicated and useful, and no person should ever have to suffer. I am obviously very opposed to using pain killers recreationally, or when there is no longer a pain syndrome. Doctors continue to prescribe drugs sometimes, even though your pain level could be managed with a non‑ad‑ dictive analgesic. This could lead to what I call “accidental addiction” and it happens frequently. Opiates are beguiling. They are pain killers, as well as pleasure killers. It happens easily. You fill your prescription for 30 hydrocodone after some dental work or back pain, and when the bottle is empty, you ask for a new prescription, just in case. Maybe you’re worried the pain will come back… maybe you enjoyed the pleasant sensation, or better sleep. Regardless of the reason, your condition no longer warrants the use of an opiate, but you want it anyway. Now you’re accidentally addicted, even though you are not a drug‑seeking person. It’s because of the temporary dopamine rush from the opiate, which makes you feel better for a while after each dose. With time, dopa‑ mine is depleted. So are other happy brain chemicals. Opiate analgesic drugs cannot be stopped suddenly, because your pleasure
center has been numbed and you no longer manufacture your own natural endorphins. After one month of opiate consumption, lev‑ els of neurotransmitters that regulate mood, appetite and happiness become reduced. Opiates make you feel good for about an hour due mostly to the dopamine secretion. Once fully depleted, you begin feeling emotionally numb, anhedonic, depressed, anxious, unable to sleep and possibly suicidal. Zest for living goes down in between each dose. You’re not going crazy. This is a physiological problem, it’s not in your head. While it does take time to restore natural endorphins, you absolutely can get well in time, after ta‑ pering off properly. The medication’s toll on your central nervous system is the problem. Opiates are ‘drug muggers’ of natural endor‑ phins and reduce the following: Serotonin‑ Appetite, memory, social inter‑ actions, muscle contractions Melatonin- Sleep, immunity, inflammation and fertility Dopamine‑ Passion, muscle and movement, libido and heart rate GABA‑ Muscle relaxation, sleep, attention and growth hormone Acetylcholine‑ Attention, short‑term mem‑ ory and heart rate I have a longer version of this article at my website, suzycohen.com to get it, just sign up for my free newsletter. The main point I’m making is how long‑term use of opiate analgesics deplete your brain of happy brain chemicals. The long‑term damage done by these drugs can be repaired over time. You may benefit from addiction specialist certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine.

Film Series: “Jews And Muslims – Culture And Con�lict” At OCC
TOMS RIVER – The Center for Holocaust, Genocide, & Human Rights Education at Ocean County College will sponsor a Diversity in Film Series/Discussion on the first Wednesday of each month from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The overall topic for the fall semester is “Jews & Muslims – Culture & Conflict.” Coffee and light refreshments will be
served. All events take place on OCC’s Main Campus, College Drive. The events are free and open to the public. Monsieur Ibrahim will be shown on No‑ vember 2 in Room B101, Black Box Theatre, Grunin Center. Screen legend Omar Sharif stars in this very humanistic film about an elderly Muslim widower who owns a gro‑ cery store in a shabby working‑class section
of Paris. His life takes on new meaning when he befriends Momo, a young and lonely Jewish boy. In Ibrahim, Momo finds the father he never had, a patient man in‑ fused with wisdom and kindness. The film traces the relationship between the two as it develops over time, a journey that changes both their lives. This magical work (French with subtitles) is engaging and deceptively
deep in the philosophical issues about which it encourages discussion. The Lemon Tree will be shown on De‑ cember 7 in Room 203, Bartlett Hall. Hiam Abbass won the Israeli academy Award for her powerful portrayal of a lonely Pales‑ tinian widow who tends her family’s West bank lemon grove. When the new Israeli Defense Minister and his wife move next door, the government demands that the trees be uprooted. Can two women from opposite sides of the fence find justice in a country and culture divided? Based on a true story. Upcoming spring 2017 semester films include Some Mother’s Son, Torn Apart, and I, the Worst of All. For more information, contact Dr. Ali Botein‑Furrevig, Associate Professor of English & Literature, and Director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Hu‑ man Rights Education, at 732-255-0400, ext. 2368, or abotein-furrevig@ocean.edu.

Dear Joel: I have been married to my second husband for about three months now. It is a second marriage for both of us. The difference between our former marriages is that he was divorced and I was widowed after 40 years of marriage. Once we married we decided that it was more practical for him to move into my home. We also decided it would be best to keep our monies separate. Here is the issue. Shortly after moving in he asked me to put photographs of my former husband away. Joel, this is a man that I loved very much and feel very strongly about not putting family pictures away. I was happily married and have nothing to hide. When my children come to visit, I want them to look at pictures of their dad as I do of all of us together. Suggestions are appreciated as I don’t want to ruin new marriage, which I think it is a healthy one.
Answer: Thanks for w r iting. T he tone of you r letter makes it sound as if you are a regular reader, just a guess I suppose. That being the case I try not to fi nd right and wrong in stories. It helps neither party. What I would prefer to do here is suggest a compromise. One idea is to take newer pictures of your current hus‑ band and have those more prominently displayed throughout the home. Another idea is to take one room in the house and have all of your older photos confi ned to a smaller space. I hope this helps and would really like to hear back from you.

Inside The Law Insurance For Homeowners
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R. C. Shea and Associates
When buying a house, you should know about the different types of insurance you may need to protect your new home. The purchase of a house is probably the biggest investment most people will ever make so you should consider the various insurances available to protect your investment. Here are some of the forms of insurance that you should consider: Homeowners/Fire Insurance Often called “hazard” insurance by most mortgage lenders, this type of insurance will protect you in the event of a fire or other such casualty loss. There are several components to this kind of insurance. Casualty covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your house in the event of a fire, wind damage, etc. You should also have coverage for the contents, i.e. your personal property located in the house. In addition, your homeowners policy will usually provide you with liability coverage to reimburse third parties for personal injury or property damage which you may cause to them. It is a good idea to make a list of all the items in your home and/or take photos of them in the event that you need to make a claim. If you have homeowners insurance, make sure that you have guaranteed replacement cost. Your homeowners policy may also give you coverage to allow you to stay in alternate housing in the event that you cannot occupy your house for a period of time due to covered damage. Flood insurance As many people found out after Super‑ storm Sandy, homeowners insurance does not cover you for damage resulting from flooding. Homeowners insurance may
cover damage resulting from a broken pipe or other such causes, but it provides no coverage for any water that enters Marc S. Galella Esq. your house from the exterior. In addition to providing coverage for the repair/replacement of the structure of your house, you should also consider getting flood insurance coverage for the contents of your house. Earthquake insurance Most standard homeowners insurance policies will exclude coverage for dam‑ age caused by earthquakes or other such ground movement. Although earthquakes are not common in New Jersey, they are not unheard of. Remember the Northeast earthquake of August 2011? Although this widely felt earthquake did relatively little damage in New Jersey, most people do not realize that they may have had no coverage if they did experience damage. Personal umbrella policy This is an inexpensive form of liability insurance coverage for when liability to a third party exceeds the coverages afford‑ ed by your standard insurance policies (homeowners or automobile). In most cases a policy with $1,000,000 of coverage will cost less than $200 per year. Coverag‑ es are available for up to $5,000,000. The drawback is that you may have to increase the limits on your automobile coverage. You should consult a licensed insurance agent to help you decide what types of insurances and the limits of coverages you need to protect yourself and your home.

Reports Of South Toms River Clown Attack False
SOUTH TOMS RIVER – A 14-year-old South Toms River female was charged with creating a false public alarm, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato and South Toms River Police Chief Andrew Izatt said. The juvenile told her mother that she was chased by a person armed with a knife and dressed as a clown this morning while walking to the school bus stop. The investigation by the Ocean Coun‑ ty Prosecutor’s High Tech Crime Unit (HTCU) and the South Toms River Police Department began when they learned of the posting by concerned area residents. The partnering agencies immediately began efforts to substantiate the alarming Facebook post of the alleged attack and
to apprehend the reported clown attacker. South Toms River Police quickly increased patrols in response to the report, while the OCPO HTCU worked to locate the origin of the post in order to collect additional information. Within a few hours, the in‑ vestigation would ultimately lead to the South Toms River juvenile, who recanted her story. The juvenile has been remanded to the custody of her parents to answer the charges in Juvenile Court. It should be noted that under New Jersey’s current law, the parents will be required to make restitution for the police services expended while responding to the false public alarm. That amount will be determined at a future date.

TOMS RIVER – The number one health‑re‑ lated cause of death in the U.S. during ado‑ lescence is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). It happens before the age of 20 and often strikes healthy young men and women with no prior warning or symptoms. The American Acad‑ emy of Pediatrics estimates that as many as 2,000 children and young adults will die of SCA each year. This region is not immune. There are been numerous tragic deaths recently in the news: a soccer player, football player, and a cheer‑ leader. SCA does not discriminate, whether an athlete, in the marching band or a member of the chess club. Deborah Heart and Lung Center is taking this issue seriously, and hosting a free screening
Girl Scouts Launch Fall Sales Drive
NEW JERSEY – Through November 27, Girl Scouts in Monmouth and Ocean counties will sell a variety of nuts, candy, magazines and photo keepsake books. While the girls delight in selling and we indulge in these delicious treats, the benefits of the fall product sale program extend far beyond the autumn season. Also, this year for the first time, customers can go online to buy any product sold nationwide during the Fall Product Sale, even if it’s not available on the local order sheet. They just need to ask a Girl Scout for a link to the girl’s personal online store. Girl Scout product sale activities feature age‑appropriate lessons that combine business basics with the fun commonly associated with Girl Scouts. The program builds financial literacy and leadership skills as girls actively make

discoveries and decisions about marketing, budgeting, customer service and goal setting. When you purchase a can of pistachios from a Girl Scout, you’re helping her learn the skills she needs to grow into the strong, independent woman she was born to be. Additionally, the fall product sale program provides a jump start at the beginning of the Girl Scout year for girls to work toward reaching the goals that they have set for themselves. Girl Scout product sales also support other community organizations and our military. The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore will continue its “Jersey Shore Cares” program in partner‑ ship with the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties developed as a service project where each troop/group can donate product sale items to worthwhile causes. Girl Scouts in our community will also send nuts, candy and cookies to soldiers overseas.

was rescued, diagnosed, treated, and released. Throughout the program there will be an em‑ phasis on what you can do to make a difference for cleaner water. Mike and Debbie Bennett are certified Barnegat Bay Volunteer Master Naturalists and certified educators with the Hooked on Fishing – Not on Drugs program.

BUSINESS PROFILE By Robert Verderese There are certain vocations where an artisan’s eye and touch count for everything. So it is with upholsterers. They cannot learn their craft in a class, or by reading a book or going online. They first have a gift for the trade; then learn it by apprenticing for many years, before becoming expert in the techniques they’ll use on a customer’s treasured furniture. As a young man, Bill White— owner of Bill’s Upholstery in Toms River—was first introduced to the upholstery trade by John Jacopec –a master craftsman who worked at an upholstery shop across the street from where Bill was working at the time. One day, when Bill was sweeping up around the store where he worked, Mr. Jac opec ap proached Bill and asked him if he would be interested in making some ex tra money cleaning up the upholstery shop ac ros s the street. Within a week, Bill was working exclusively for Mr. Jacopec. “When I began working there I was only 14 years old. In the beginning he had me only cleaning up the shop, but as a result of my interest in the vocation, John Jacopec began to introduce me to the rudiments of the trade,” Bill recollects. Possessing a natural eye for talent and potential, the master craftsman commenced to apprentice Bill as an upholsterer and the rest is history. Like many great artisans, Bill White learned his trade by way of osmosis—gradually absorbing the nuances of the upholstery business over many years in the same way a young child learns to speak a language. Indeed, Bill’s absorption in the trade at such a young age made working on upholstery projects after a while second nature. “I don’t even think about the mechanics of the job anymore; I’ve been doing it so long—working as an upholsterer comes as
BILL’S UPHOLSTERY UPHOLSTERY BILL’S
natural to me as speaking or breathing!” Bill explains. In addition to being what he describes as “born in the trade,” Bill also feels that he was “born for the trade,”—that he was endowed with an artistic sensibility that lends itself to being an artisan in some capacity. “Ever since I can remember, I always had ideas in my head that I wanted to render into reality. I felt impelled to create things—things that are tangible and beautiful!” To be sure, Bill views upholstery not merely as a skill but rather as an art form. By working closely with his customers to determine and create an environment that is a reflection of their needs—whether it is a
Bill White single chair or an entire house reupholstering—Bill believes that open communication with his customers is paramount in producing beautiful and elegant masterpieces for them— masterpieces that will imbue their lives with comfort and aesthetic richness for many years to come. Do you have a look in mind for your sofa or loveseat, but no matter how many stores you go to you can’t seem to find the right look?

You c a n ke e p a valuable, oneof-a-kind item that cannot be replaced looking good and new for an indefinite amount of time.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of October 15-OCTOBER 21
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fight the good fight without a demonstration of might. It could be tempting to throw your weight around in the early part of the week. Put ambitions in their proper perspective. Slow and steady wins the race. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can be affectionate and charming in private. But you may easily lose your temper in public. In the week to come it will be best to focus on close personal relationships and prove you can live up to commitments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are just one of the family. During this week you may find that the secret to success consists of compromise, consensus and listening to advice. You might take the back seat to others but still come out ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Remain poised to parry a partner’s pushy posturing. You may feel manipulated by others in close connection as this week unfolds. Concentrate on keeping up your end of a bargain and others will respond in kind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make your move on the chessboard of life. Solve problems by considering logical sequences. Accomplish your goals via careful planning and forethought in the week ahead. Remain patient when dealing with emotional issues. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Spread good will and good taste. Acting on your finer impulses might result in a smile or a sincere thank you perhaps when you treat someone to lunch or a gift. In the week ahead you are wise about the true value of a dollar.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Everybody listens when you speak. You seem to have good judgment and a tolerant attitude so everyone heeds your every word. Ignore fringe elements that attempt to appeal to your base instincts in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Blend business and pleasure to achieve your end. Your heightened social aptitude gives you just the right touch to instill trust. You’ll go further this week by being outgoing and friendly than by following strict protocols. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will win if you are neat as a pin. If your organizational skills and ambitions have gone AWOL this might be a good week to remedy the situation. Avoid making major purchases for the next few days. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Enlist the en‑ couragement of your inner efficiency expert. In the week ahead you can get further faster by carefully plotting and planning your path in advance. Shrug off an intense desire to take complete control. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can be logical, responsible, and practical. Don’t let a chance to impress friends and co‑workers with your intellectual analysis pass you by. Earn brown‑ ie points for dependability as this week unfolds. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Smile and the world smiles with you. As this week begins your charming ways can impress and dazzle others, so this is an excellent time to make new contacts. Steer clear of taking financial risks for the next few days.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Let’s Do Brunch: Italian-Inspired Recipe Proves Robust Food Also Healthy By Wolfgang Puck
Autumn is a wonderful time for en‑ tertaining, especially with a brunch p a r t y. C o ole r t e m p e r at u r e s a nd shorter days seem to welcome lazy, late‑morning gatherings that linger into the afternoon as you and your guests enjoy delicious, robust foods. “But Wolfgang, br unches can be so fattening,” people sometimes tell me, especially when I use words like “delicious” and “robust.” My response doesn’t just aim to sooth their worries. In fact, it’s a cooking philosophy I my‑ self live by: Food that tastes wonderful and fills you up doesn’t necessarily have to be bad for you. If you plan and cook meals that fea‑ ture good‑quality, healthful ingredi‑ ents prepared in ways that maximize their appearance, aroma, f lavor and texture while minimizing excessive calories, fat, sugar and sodium, you’ll wind up with great‑tasting meals that also help you thrive. And the recipe I’m happy to share for Italian strata with tomatoes, bell pepper and Swiss cheese is a perfect example of that principle. A strata (from the Latin word that also gives us the identical term for geolog‑ ical layers) is a savory Italian bread pudding made up of layers of bread, cheese and other ingredients, soaked with egg and milk and then baked until golden brown. It’s perfect for brunch, being easy to prepare and serve as well as delicious whether hot from the oven or lukewarm after sitting a short time on a brunch buffet table. As you might imagine, a strata can be indulgently creamy and rich. But by making smart choices in your ingre‑ dients, you can easily prepare a strata that will wow everyone at your table while being a model of smart eating. In my recipe, I substitute egg whites for some of the whole eggs, low‑fat but ter m il k for whole m il k, and a reduced‑fat version of Swiss cheese that you can find in any well‑stocked supermarket. I also use whole‑grain bread to give the strata more nutrients and fiber in every serving. Though hearty, the result is just 180 calories per serving, with only 21 percent of those calories coming from fat. You’ll notice that the recipe doesn’t include any greens or breakfast meat. But if you’d like to add some, simply use a cup or two of spinach and 3 to 4 ounces (90 to 120 g) of lean Canadian bacon or ham, trimmed of visible fat, cutting the meat into thin strips and tossing them with the bread cubes. With the tomatoes, peppers and sea‑ sonings the recipe also includes, the
result tastes remarkably reminiscent of a pizza. Your brunch guests will feel all the happier when you tell them that what they’re eating is not only good to eat but also good for them. ITALIAN STRATA WITH TOMATOES, BELL PEPPER & SWISS CHEESE Serves 8 1/2 pound (500 g) stale, country-style whole wheat or multigrain bread 1 garlic clove, halved Olive oil‑f lavored nonstick cooking spray 1 cup (250 mL) finely shredded, reduced‑fat Swiss cheese 1 large red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and torn into thin strips 2 large ripe tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced 3 large cage‑free eggs 3 large cage‑free egg whites 2 cups (500 mL) buttermilk 1/2 teaspoon red pepper f lakes 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). With a sharp bread knife, cut the bread into slices 3/4 inch (18 mm) thick. Rub one or both sides of each bread slice with the cut sides of the garlic clove halves, using more or less depending on how garlicky you want the strata to be. Then, cut the bread into 3/4-inch (18-mm) cubes. Lightly coat the inside of a 12-by10-inch (30-by-25-cm) baking dish, gratin dish or a heavy nonstick 10-inch (25-cm) skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Place the bread cubes in the dish or skillet in a single, even layer. Evenly sprinkle half of the cheese over the bread. Evenly layer the bell pepper strips and tomato slices on top, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the peppers and tomatoes. Put the eggs and egg whites in a mix‑ ing bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Add the buttermilk, red pepper f lakes, oregano, plus salt and pepper to taste, and beat until thoroughly combined. Pour the egg mixture even‑ ly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Bake the strata in the preheated oven until it looks slightly puffed up and the top is golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the dish from the oven and let it set at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before using a large serving spoon to scoop it onto individual serving plates.
