APPROVAL OF TIM HORTONS, Campaigning RENTAL COMPLEX CONTINUES TO FACE DELAYS In Final Days Of Howell Races

–Photos by Daniel Nee The site of ongoing development near Verdana Way, where Sunnyside at Howell hopes to build a Tim Hortons and rental complex. By Daniel Nee HOWELL – After proposing a Tim Horton’s donut shop along with 52 residential rental units near the intersection of Route

9 and Verdana Way in Howell, developer Sunnyside at Howell, LLC, has continually pushed back its hearing before the township’s planning board.

Howell Nixes Annual Rental Inspection Proposal

By Daniel Nee HOWELL – A proposal to inspect rental units in the township on an annual basis has been turned down by the township council, whose members now say concerns over overcrowded units and those not being maintained up to par can be regulated through laws already on the books. The inspection program, however, will be replaced by a significantly steeper fine for owners who fail to register their rental properties. Mayor William Gotto, who initially brought the idea to the table, said recent discussions with township staff, the addition of new land use and code enforcement employees and updated training will accomplish what the annual inspections were aimed at doing. The council had been scheduled to vote on an ordinance requiring the annual inspections at a meeting October 17, but

voted the measure down. “I have spent a lot of time … reviewing the code enforcement staff and the construction official staff,” said Gotto. “I think that we’ve been a little bit reactionary and not so proactive.” The annual inspection proposal drew complaints from landlords in town, who were unhappy that they would have to bother their tenants each year by requiring them to take a day to allow inspectors into their homes. Still, some residents supported the plan, saying it could keep unkempt properties and overcrowded units from springing up around town, avoiding high-profile overcrowding cases like those that have been uncovered in neighboring Lakewood. “If somebody fixes up a property, registers as a landlord, rents the property out … there are no more inspections” after the initial

Committee held a Meet The Candidates night at the Open Door Bible Baptist Church on October 18. Congressman Chris Smith, Sheriff Shaun Golden, Surrogate Rosemarie Peters, along with Township Candidates Cardillichio and O’Donnell addressed the crowd. Mayor William Gotto and Deputy Mayor Robert Nicastro were also in attendance. Both Republican candidates expressed their love for the community and their shared vision for Howell, specifically maintaining quality of life and the civic duty of any candidate running for public office.

for a commercial application for the front,” said Cohen. Cohen granted the board an extension on the legally-required time for an application to be heard through January 2018. The proposed development calls for one residential apartment building containing 52 units and two commercial buildings to include a 2,010 square foot retail space. The development will also include a 2,010 square foot bank and a 2,552 square foot Tim Horton’s restaurant.

In 2009, the planning board approved a change in zoning for the site, allowing mixed use development where single-family home development was once required. A multifamily housing complex of about 200 units has already been built adjacent to the newly-proposed complex. The Tim Horton’s proposal would be one of two locations the Canadian donut and coffee shop chain has announced as part of a New Jersey expansion. The other, which opened recently, is located in Hazlet. The restaurant features

breakfast sandwiches, baked goods, coffee and lunch sandwiches. In order to receive approval, Sunnyside must convince the planning board to grant numerous variances for the project, including relief from township regulations on the minimum number of parking spaces, signage, the minimum amount of storage area provided for each rental unit and the width of numerous access drives. The entire plot proposed for development encompasses about 29 acres.

“When a candidate comes to you and asks for your vote, I think imperative that we should expect somebody that has a background about the town that they want to serve,” said O’Donnell. “I think if you’re going to run for higher office in a town, you got to be involved in the town,” said Cardillichio. He continued “I think you need to demand from your public servants that they be involved and they know their town before they decide to run.” Cardillichio and O’Donnell have served together on the Planning Board. “We are talking about integrity, it’s not about politics, it’s about people. Once you’re elected you got to put politics aside and work for the people who have elected you,” said Juan Malave, chairman

of the Howell Republican Municipal Committee. Malave echoed the sentiments of civic duty but more explicitly called out the opposition for their lack of political experience. Montella and Berger said however that is what Howell needs, new faces not beholden to politics. Meanwhile, Howell Democrats have made appearances in their booths or tables at such events as Howell Day, and are actively distributing lawn signs and other campaign materials to interested voters. Mayoral candidate Berger and Council candidate Montella held their campaign kick-off and fundraisers starting back in August at such local establishments as Woody’s. Montella previously told The Howell Times the

reason for running is that “I’ve been in this town for almost 30 years, I know everything about the town and I feel like it needs a change. It need to be turned around to a positive directions.” Berger said previously that Howell is seeing large development projects, not necessarily always a good thing. “Howell is like a farm town, there are a lot of old families that have been there for generations and generations and we want to keep our town the way it is,” she said, saying the proposal for development on West Farms Road was one of the reasons she decided to run.

F�� L�� CASA For Children I am writing in hopes of offering a suggestion for the many people who might be wondering how they can help local children, especially those who are victims of abuse and neglect. I encourage looking into volunteer opportunities with our local chapter of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Ocean County. CASA of Ocean County is part of a national nonprofit organization which trains and supports volunteers who are appointed by the courts to fight for the rights of children in the foster care and child welfare systems. CASA of Ocean County will be holding an information session at their office located at 1108 Hooper Avenue building 1 suite C Toms River, NJ 08754 on November 8 at 5:15 to 6 p.m. this information session is open to the public In Ocean County alone there are over 750 children living in foster care. I continue to be amazed at the number of vulnerable children right here in our own communities. What is most surprising—and disheartening— is that during this incredibly vulnerable time in a young life, the foster care and family court system is simply too overworked to deal with the unique needs and rights of each child. As a result, too many children in the system

get bounced from house to house—having to change schools five or six times in just a couple of years. Often siblings get split up because there isn’t enough room for larger families. Some kids even wind up sleeping in hallways on cots until they are literally “aged out of the system” when they turn 18. These children deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. They deserve the chance to live in a safe, loving and permanent home. That is why the CASA of Ocean County Program exists. In fact, a child with a CASA volunteer is half as likely to languish in foster care, and that much more likely to find a safe permanent home. But we only have enough resources to support 10 percent of the children in the system today. We are committed to ensuring that all children in foster care have a committed CASA volunteer assigned to support them. To do this, we will need to more than double the number of CASA volunteers for the organization. We need to start right here in our community, and you can help by contacting casaofoceancounty.org for volunteer, donation or other participation opportunities. I am a CASA supporter, because I want to stand up for the rights of a child. Join me and make the difference in the life of a child! Vicki Weiss CASA of Ocean County

Casino Expansion Gamble Not Worth Risking Casino expansion is a bad idea that would devastate the state’s economy by causing billions in lost economic revenue, increasing home foreclosures and losing tens of thousands of jobs. Proponents of casino expansion have lacked transparency in their proposal for North Jersey casinos as we still do not know what the tax rates would be, where the casinos would be built or who would build them. Transparency has been an ongoing issue as the cryptic referendum provides only a requirement that casinos would have to be built at least 72 miles outside of Atlantic City. Beyond that, no exact location has been provided and no tax rate has been agreed upon, making it impossible to know what revenues would look like or what programs, state funds or constituency would purportedly benefit from casino expansion. As someone who played an integral part in the New Jersey casino industry from its inception, I know how detrimental casino expansion in North Jersey would be for the state, I am voting

L�� T� T�� E�� to protect the New Jersey taxpayers and voting no on Question One. Steven P. Perskie Former Assemblyman, State Senator and Casino Control Commission Chairman

Vote No On Question One Casino expansion would have a devastating effect, on not only our region, but throughout the entire state by destroying tens of thousands of jobs and causing billions in lost revenue. Meanwhile, New Jersey voters have been left in the dark about key details of the proposed expansion because it would only benefit a handful of well-connected, special interests. We cannot stand idly by as casino expansion looms and our economic well-being is at stake. That is why I am voting no on Question One on Election Day. John Armstrong Absecon Mayor

SHREWSBURY – Mysteries, myths and lore are all on tap at the Monmouth County Library’s Eastern Branch for November, starting with more insight into the Lindbergh baby kidnapping that drew international headlines in 1931. Robert Zorn, author of Cemetery John: The Mastermind of the Lindbergh Kidnapping will speak on how his father, the late Eugene Zorn, was at Palisades Amusement Park in the summer of 1931 and inadvertently heard his two German immigrant neighbors from the Bronx conspiring with Bruno Hauptmann. His book was the driving force behind the PBS/NOVA documentary, “Who killed Lindbergh’s Baby?” The program will be presented at 3 p.m. at the library on November 5, and will include information that there is an almost 100 percent probability that the neighbor, John Knoll, was a collaborator with Hauptmann in the kidnapping. On November 6 at 2 p.m., reporter and historian Dan Radel will present a program on Lost Topanemus. A Lenape place named that translates to “a place of plentiful freshwater and fish,” Topanemus appears on early maps of New Jersey as what is now Marlboro Township. Radel will also link an old cemetery in the “village” missing its gravestones to a Freehold congregation that still meets in its 18th century-era church at the corner of ‘Old Indian Road.’ Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Amy Ellis Nutt will be at the library on November 13 at 2 p.m. to discuss the tragic New Jersey story of a high seas hit-and-run: the mysterious sinking of the Lady Mary off the coast of Cape May. The incident left a single survivor and no clues to its demise. Nutt won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Feature

Writing for The Wreck of the Lady Mary and was also a finalist in 2009 for her Newark Star-Ledger newspaper feature Accidental Artist. Currently a health and science writer for the Washington Post, and a New York Times Best Selling author, she is a graduate of Smith College, and earned Masters Degrees from MIT and Columbia University. She was also a Niemen Fellow at Harvard University in 2004-05. Brian Regal, PhD, will be at the library on November 19 at 3 p.m. to talk about the Jersey Devil, one of the most popular myths of New Jersey history. Regal discounts myths that the Jersey Devil is a spectral winged horse demon, and believes instead the story of his birth is far more interesting, complex and important than most believe. Regal asserts the Devil is a product of innuendo, scandal and rumor mongering rather than witchcraft, and likens this early American tale to tabloids and internet gossip of today. A professor of history of science, technology and medicine at Kean University, Regal is the author of numerous books and articles on the more esoteric realms of history. He has appeared on radio, television, blogs, and Op Ed pages around the world. The mystery, myth and lore series will coincide within the library’s annual Fall Book Sale, which will be held from November 1 through 5 during regular library hours. The last two days of the sale, November 4 and November 5, will offer specials, with Friday half-price day, and Saturday a dollar a bag day. No reservations are necessary for any of the programs, and all are offered at no charge.

HHS Awards Funding To Help Protect Health Sector Against Cyber Threats

WASHINTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded cooperative agreements totaling $350,000 to strengthen the ability of health care and public health sector partners to respond to cybersecurity threats. The agreements will foster the development of

a more vibrant cyber information sharing ecosystem within the health care and public health sector. HHS’ Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) awarded a cooperative agreement to the National Health Information Sharing and

Analysis Center (NH-ISAC) of Ormond Beach, Florida to provide cybersecurity information and education on cyber threats to healthcare sector stakeholders. HHS’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) awarded a cooperative agreement to NH-ISAC to help build

the infrastructure necessary to disseminate cyber threat information securely to healthcare partners. “These agreements mark a critical first step toward addressing the growing threat cybersecurity poses to the health care and public health sector,” said Dr. Nicole Lurie, HHS’ assistant secretary for preparedness and response. “Creating a more robust exchange about cybersecurity threats will help the industry prevent, detect and respond to these threats and better protect patients’ privacy and personally identifiable information.” “The security of electronic health information is foundational to our increasingly digitized health system,” said Dr. Vindell Washington, national coordinator for health information technology. “This funding will help healthcare organizations of all sizes more easily and effectively share information about cyber threats and responses in order to protect their data and the health of their patients.” Security breaches and ransomware attacks on the healthcare system have been on the rise in recent years, as has the average cost associated with these attacks. Today, the cost of cybersecurity breaches averages $3.8 million per attack, according to a recent study exit disclaimer icon. While some healthcare entities have adequate resources to contract with information sharing and analysis organizations that could to inform them about cyber incidents, smaller healthcare entities often do not. Through a streamlined cyber threat information sharing process, HHS will be able to send cyber threat information to a single entity, which then will share that information widely to support the full range of stakeholders. This approach helps ensure that smaller health care providers have the information they need to take appropriate action. The agreements also will help build the capacity of NH-ISAC to receive cyber threat information from member healthcare entities. Information about any system breaches and ransomware attacks will be relayed through a more robust cyber information sharing environment, as will information about steps healthcare entities should take to protect their health information technology systems. ASPR leads HHS in preparing the nation to respond to and recover from adverse health effects of emergencies, supporting communities’ ability to withstand adversity, strengthening health and response systems, and enhancing national health security. To learn more about ASPR, visit the HHS public health and medical emergency website, phe.gov. ONC is the principal federal entity charged with coordination of nationwide efforts to implement and use the most advanced health information technology and the electronic exchange of health information. To learn more about ONC, visit HealthIT.gov. HHS is the principal federal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves.

DHA is brain food, literally. Your brain’s cerebral cortex is composed of 20 percent fatty acids. Important research on DHA has shown it supports structural integrity of your central nervous system which then supports a healthy mood and emotional well-being. Do you feel like you used to be smarter? DHA helps maintain cellular fluidity, which supports our memory and thinking patterns. Might help you keep track of your cell phone a little better. DHA is a fat and so are your eyes. Could it help with vision and dryness of the eye? Yes, in my opinion. Studies on kids with low DHA levels show poor reading scores as well as behavioral problems. Low DHA in children aged 7 through 9 were associated with reading and comprehension that was below average, as well as behavioral issues. Makes you wonder about the rampant use of ADHD medications. Get this: Your body has a mechanism in place such that you can think about what you want to do and then do it. You think, “I want to get that pot from the cabinet and cook tea” and then, without a thought, your arm reaches into the cabinet and you begin cooking. Omega 3 fatty acids (high DHA) supplementation has been shown to support healthy motor control by affecting the part of the brain called the cerebral cortex which oversees voluntary movements like this. DHA is one of my favorite supplements, and it’s sold at health food stores nationwide.

Fat gets a bad rap! The word “fat” is associated with negative things, but the only real toxic fat is the “visceral” fat that surrounds and strangles your precious organs. It’s that kind of fat that is dangerous. From now on, I want you to think of certain fats as a good thing and as life-sustaining. The best organs in your body are made of fats like your heart, your brain, pancreas, liver, and your omentum (which is the fat that insulates your intestines). By the way, your omentum surrounding your gut contains all kinds of neurotransmitters, similar to those in your brain. That’s part of the reason why people who take benzodiazepines and opiate pain killers have so many problems that related to their digestion. Anyway, the fat-based supplements I’m referring to today are fish oils, and more specifically DHA, a part of fish oils. If you read the back of your label, you’ll see DHA listed on your fish oil supplement, but it’s usually in a smaller amount to the EPA. I love fish oil supplements – both constituents EPA and DHA. DHA in particular is food for your brain. DHA is something you got from mom through breast milk. This is something that breastfed babies get from nursing, and it gives them a great head start. If you didn’t get DHA through breast feeding as an infant, it’s okay to start now. Better late than never because

Funding Shortfall Leaves Monmouth County At Risk

NEPTUNE – Because of its high breast cancer and mortality rates, Monmouth County has been deemed a “high-priority area,” according to findings released by the Susan G. Komen Central and South Jersey Affiliate. Unfortunately, fundraising fell short last year, which means Komen Central and South Jersey Affiliate was unable to fulfill 21 percent of the breast-cancer screening and education requests this year. Now, the upcoming Race for the Cure on November 6 at Six Flags Great Adventure carries added importance to the region. “If you believe unfunded breast cancer screenings and education is a problem, then join us November 6 at the Race for the Cure, and be part of the solution,” said Sally Sheperdson, CEO of Komen Central and South Jersey. Participants in the Komen Central and South Jersey Race for the Cure 5K run/walk on November 6 at Six Flags Great Adventure will help raise funds for life-saving programs offering breast health education, breast cancer screening and access to treatment. Registration for the race is available at komencsnj. org/race. Funds raised at the Race and events throughout the year are distributed annually via grants based on the 2015 Community Proﬁle Report, which is generated locally every four years by the Affiliate. One of this year’s grants was awarded to Hackensack Meridian Health to serve patients in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Dr. Denise Johnson-Miller, medical director of the breast surgery program for Hackensack Meridian

Health in Neptune, serves as the medical advisor of the Komen grant. The grant awarded to Meridian will fund its breast cancer education and screening project with the goal of increasing mammography screenings among underserved patients in Monmouth and Ocean counties between April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017. The grant funding will provide 400 patients with referrals for screening mammograms and 180 advanced diagnostic tests. Monmouth County, where Johnson-Miller practices, is a prime example of an area where women aren’t tending to their health. The county has low rates of mammography screenings – 24 percent of women have not had a screening mammogram within the past two years, which translates to 77,442 women. That’s lower than the rest of the service area’s average and the state, according to the Affiliate’s community research. Compared to the 13 counties in the Komen Central and South Jersey service area, Monmouth County has the third highest rate of new breast cancer cases (or the third highest incidence rate) and the third lowest five-year survival rate among Hispanic/Latina women. Monmouth County has 28,161 residents ages 40 to 64 with no medical insurance and 21,433 in medically underserved areas, according to Komen’s research. Breast cancer is the number one survivable cancer, said Johnson-Miller. Research will keep the survival rate increasing and patients living longer. Komen has set a bold goal to reduce the number of breast cancer deaths in

half within the next 10 years by improving access to quality and timely cancer care for the underserved and enhancing Komen’s research focus on lethal breast cancers. The Affiliate’s research also found that Monmouth County residents face accessibility and transportation issues, particularly rural residents in the western sections of the county to medical facilities that are located mostly in the northern, central and eastern areas of the county. To address transportation issues, the grant will fund transportation for 200 patients to have access to care. Johnson-Miller volunteers her time to conduct some of the educational programs that will serve 1,400 patients. Programs focus on presenting information to African American and Hispanic/Latina communities, the geriatric community and LGBTQ populations. “It’s very important that the right information is out there,” Johnson-Miller said. One of the largest misconceptions she is working to have an impact on and dispel through the education program is that breast cancer risk increases as patients age. “A lot of people feel as they get older, their cancer risk goes down, but it actually goes up,” Miller said. “That seems to be the number one misconception.” Johnson-Miller has always been interested in caring for people. “I love taking care of women, because sadly we do not take care of ourselves very well,” she said. “We are too busy taking care of others.” “Being a woman myself, I’m interested in the fact that women don’t take care of

themselves,” she continued. “I’ve found that even though we recommend screening and interventions, it was surprising to me that well-insured, smart women just don’t do their natural screenings and exams because they were so busy taking care of everybody else. It’s mystifying and crazy.” Johnson-Miller has been involved with Komen as long as she can remember. “Komen is important to me as a breast surgeon and as a woman with a number of family members impacted by breast cancer, primarily because of the focus on early detection,” she said. “I don’t remember when I wasn’t involved with Komen.” Johnson-Miller is an example of how wearing pink shirts is no longer good enough. To capture the national sentiment, Komen launched its “More than Pink” campaign that moves the fight against breast cancer from “awareness” to meaningful action and impact. Being involved with Komen on several levels, Johnson-Miller attends the Race for the Cure, scheduled for November 6 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson. The survivors are Miller’s favorite part of Race day. “They are empowered and they’ve gone through a journey and now they’re on the other side,” she said. “Even when some of the ladies are in wheelchairs or they look like they’re pretty sick, they still have the courage and fortitude to get out and walk. I think that’s amazing.” Registration for the Komen Central and South Jersey Race for the Cure on November 6 at Six Flags Great Adventure is open at komencsnj.org/race.

one, said resident Ron Lovenberg. “The property can deteriorate.” Officials said new training methods will allow township employees to better spot troubled properties and respond to complaints. “I had big concerns about seven or eight families living in a single home, and I believe that you would be able to see that from the outside as well, by a code enforcement officer,” said Gotto. Additionally, the council introduced a new ordinance which would impose a $1,000 fi ne for property owners who do not register their rental units, with a mandatory $2,000 fi ne for each subsequent violation. The fi nes will increase from the current discretionary scale under the township’s general penalty ordinance, which allows the municipal court judge to levy fi nes he sees fit. “I didn’t really care about the fee for the inspection program; I was really looking

to get a deterrent in place that would allow rental properties to be recognized by the town so we would be made aware of them and, if needed, be able to inspect them,” said Gotto. Rental units will still need to be inspected once, upon the issuance of a registration certificate. “The instances that we’ve had with bad things that have happened in rental properties are ones where they have not registered,” Goto continued. “Those ones are where the fi nes should be the heaviest.” The township will still have the authority to insect units if complaints – either by renters or neighbors – are fi led. “We’re not going out like a police department, going out and issuing tickets, but we now have the power, if we see things, we can take action on them based on the existing ordinances that are already in place,” Gotto said. The increased fi nes for failure to register a property are subject to a public hearing and second vote, which will likely take place in November.

Identifying Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

Nursing home abuse can take many forms. It can be intentional, visible, obvious or it can be more subtle-abuse through neglect and general lack of care on the part of nursing home staff. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or even sexual. Each of these takes a heavy toll on any person, but nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect can be especially hard on the elderly – some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Whatever form nursing home abuse takes, it is urgent that you and your loved one open a dialogue about this extraordinarily sensitive topic. Communication is necessary to end the abuse and let the healing begin. The fi rst step in opening a dialogue is identifying suspected abuse. There are many signs of nursing home abuse that you can look for. The fi rst sign you may notice is a change in behavior. The emotional effects that often accompany abuse can manifest as sluggishness or depression, a lack of enthusiasm for things your loved one once enjoyed, or even a loss of interest in visits. The change in attitude can be significant and sudden, or it may be subtle and prolonged. The most important thing is to be observant and notice if the change is taking place on any level. Of course, it is also possible that signs of abuse will be far more apparent. Physical signs of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect can take the form of bruises, sores, cuts, scars, or any similar injuries. These may be from simple accidents, but if there is anything suspicious about the injury,

the problem should be addressed immediately. Suspicious Michael J. Deem Esq. signs might include a reluctance to talk about how the injury occurred or claiming not to remember the cause. Even more obvious signs are bedsores wh ich a re a common signs of nursing home neglect. They are painful and, if infected, can be potentially lethal. Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse. When abuse or neglect are identified or suspected it is important to notify the authorities and contact a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer to discuss your legal rights. Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of the local authorities and your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nu rsing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways. If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect call the trial attorney’s at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

DR. LOUIS NAPOLITANO OFFERS STATE-OF-THE-ART DENTAL CARE

By Robert Verderese Smile and the whole world will smile with you is a saying that you have probably heard before. It’s incredible how simply smiling can make such a dramatic difference in your outlook—and those around you. For those who are not confident with their smiles they might hesitate or avoid smiling altogether, which is truly unfortunate. This is where Dr. Louis Napolitano, DMD, in Jackson, NJ could really make a huge difference in a person’s life. Along with his associate Dr. llan Gamburg, ofﬁce manager Laurie Abramowitz, and his wonderful staff, Dr. Napolitano offers a one-stop shop for state-of-the-art dental care for you and your family. Louis Napolitano was born and raised in Union City and now lives in Howell with his wife. He completed his undergraduate studies in chemistry from Georgetown University and subsequently attended dental school at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, where he graduated as a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon—a national honor society for dental schools. When asked why he chose to

become a dentist, Dr. Napolitano replied: “I always had an interest in, and aptitude for, the natural sciences so I decided to major in chemistry as an undergraduate. While in College, I realized that I wanted to work in a ﬁ eld where I could use my abilities to positively impact the lives of others. As I considered my options, I discovered that dentistry would be the perfect occupation for me—allowing me to use my skills to optimize a patient’s oral health which contributes to their overall general health and well-being.” As someone who believes it is important to keep abreast of the most recent technological advances in dentistry, Dr. Napolitano is an avid member of many professional organizations where he studies the latest techniques and technology in the profession. One bit of technology that Dr. Napolitano is particularly excited about is the state-ofthe-art Solea—the only FDA approved C02 laser used for hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums) procedures. This incredible laser technology possesses a unique wavelength which functions as an alternate to the tradi-

tional drill in the majority of dental procedures. “The Solea laser technology is wonderful in that it totally takes the anxiety out of dentistry. Everybody knows someone who is petrified of needles—perhaps your children or even yourself—and as such avoids receiving treatment they desperately need. For these people, Solea is the obvious solution to their dental woes. By not having to administer needles, I am able to deliver virtually painless procedures to my patients, invariably bringing a smile to their faces and to mine!” Dr. Napolitano says. Another benef it of this breakthrough laser technology is that it allows for a more efficient dental experience for patients. With Solea, you can have a cavity or fi lling done in a flash, which allows patients to resume their daily activities—go back to work or out to lunch—without any discomfort. Also, given that Solea is less invasive than traditional dental procedures, healing is much quicker. And as an added bonus, there are no fee increases or additional charge for performing the Solea laser restoration for a patient. In a word, Dr. Napolitano aptly explains this new laser technology in the following way: “Solea provides an overall wonderful experience for my patients and is changing the way we practice dentistry while changing the lives of the people we care about most—our patients!” In addition to the Solea, Dr. Napolitano’s practice offers a full-range of dental services, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery and implant dentistry. “In the past you were sent somewhere else,” Dr. Napolitano explains. “My vision was to create a state-of-the-art facility where all of a patient’s treatment could be provided in one practice.” Did you know there is a link between oral health and overall health? Indeed, the latest medical research clearly confirms this connection: “We’re not just interested in teeth and cavities,” Dr. Napolitano says. “We’re interested in the whole person—everything about our patient’s health.” Dr. Napolitano notes that those who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop gum disease. “Many diabetics have a decreased ability to fi ght

Dr. Louis Napolitano, DMD bacterial infections, including those that occur in the mouth.” A lot of chronic pain can also be traced to underlying dental issues, such as migraines—even heart disease! So what can you do to protect your oral—and overall— health? Well, for starters, Dr. Napolitano stresses the importance of regular oral hygiene at home: “You should brush your teeth three times a day, use dental floss on a consistent basis, and use a mouth rinse with ﬂ uoride daily.” Although good preventive oral health begins at home, it doesn’t end there. To be

sure, the full spectrum of preventive dental care must always include routine cleanings by dental professionals. Patients should come in for a professional cleaning and oral cancer screening exams at least twice a year. This dental practice is crucial in that not only will you be able to have plaque and tartar removed from your teeth, but you will also be given a thorough examination of your whole mouth. Dr. Napolitano and his team are committed to making patients feel as comfortable as possible and to develop relationships with each patient: “Every member of our team takes tremendous

pride in providing the most compassionate care to all of our patients and to make them feel as comfor table as humanly possible,” Dr. Napolitano says. “We make every one of our patients feel like they are part of our family.” To get more information about Dr. Napolitano’s practice, you can call his office at 732-9052488 or visit his website at louisnapolitanodmd.com. The office hours are Monday 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Tuesday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Thursday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Dr. Napolitano’s office is conveniently located at 2046 West County Line Road, Suite 2 in Jackson, NJ.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of October 29-November 4.

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pace yourself. You feel invigorated and energetic but you would be wise to channel it properly. Don’t spread yourself too thin or scatter your money or energies. You may find true inspiration from unlikely sources. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Pass the torch. As part of a team you are expected to perform your fair share of the job and must rely upon others to do theirs. This week you may find that someone else can supply the energy or expertise you lack. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Create camaraderie with displays of compliance. You can accomplish much more when the subject of who gets the credit isn’t an issue. This is a good week to demonstrate a cooperative spirit especially at work or on the job.

Any assistance you receive is going to be infinitely valuable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Use your inner compass to find a better direction. Discuss your intentions with a friend or trusted confidant in the week ahead. Establish boundaries as to what you can, and cannot, accomplish and go from there.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pizza Party: Make A Classic Pie The Centerpiece Of Casual Autumn Meals By Wolfgang Puck

In October, many home cooks turn their thoughts toward the entertaining soon to come, from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Hanukkah to Christmas to New Year’s. While such advance planning can be both fun and sensible, it also can have a serious drawback: It shortchanges opportunities for more casual entertaining. But I’d like to propose one solution that will work well for all your more off-the-cuff parties with friends and family during the coming months: Throw a pizza party. Of course, I do have some expertise when it comes to pizza, as a chef known for my contemporary, sometimes gourmet takes on the Italian favorite. But I’m no elitist when it comes to the popular flatbreads. Yes, you sometimes might find me serving them topped with smoked salmon and dill-flecked creme fraiche; but I’m also equally happy when they come with a good old-fashioned tomato sauce and shredded cheese. What’s important is that pizzas start with delicious homemade pizza dough, have good-quality toppings, and are prepared and cooked the right way. All of that is easy to achieve for home cooks with even a little bit of kitchen experience. And the great thing about having a pizza party is that you can do most of the work in advance. The dough can be made a day in advance, ready to pull out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature an hour or so before guests arrive. All the toppings can also be prepped ahead of time, to be arrayed in bowls around the counter space where you - or your guests - will put the pizzas together. That leaves simply preheating the oven, in which you should ideally also have a pizza stone - available in any good kitchen equipment store or online - to give you the intense, radiant heat that helps a pizza bake and crisp up the way it should. For a small, simple gathering, you can feature just a single topping combination, such as the following recipe that calls for fresh Italian sausage, onion, a tomato medley and a trio of cheeses. When you invite more people, it can be fun to offer a greater variety of options for the meats, vegetables, cheeses and sauces they can use. Regardless of your party’s size, the fact that you can only bake one or two pizzas at a time in most home ovens means that everyone has the opportunity to join in the fun, putting together whatever creative assortments of ingredients they like. Please give it a try. You may even find these pizza parties so enjoyable that you’ll want to break out the dough and toppings during the holiday season itself. ITALIAN SAUSAGE-AND-ONION PIZZA Makes 2 pizzas, about 10 inches 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 10 to 12 ounces (310 to 375 g) fresh Italian sausage, casings removed 1 recipe Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), or good-quality store-bought dough 4 ounces (125 g) fontina cheese, shredded 3 ounces (90 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, or 1/2 tablespoon dried 1 dozen cherry tomatoes, cut in halves

8 pieces oil-packed sun-dried tomato, patted dry, cut into strips 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced red onion 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality store-bought tomato sauce or pizza sauce 4 leaves fresh basil, torn Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the sausage and break into small bite-sized pieces with a wooden spoon. Saute until cooked through and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon onto a plate and set aside. Place a pizza stone or baker’s tiles on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to its highest setting. On a lightly floured work surface, stretch or roll out a ball of dough into a 10-inch (25-mm) round with a slightly thicker rim. Transfer to a lightly floured pizza paddle, rimless cookie sheet, or the back of a baking pan. Brush the dough inside the rim with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with half each of the fontina, mozzarella and Parmesan. Sprinkle with half the oregano and then scatter half of the sausage on top. Dot the pizza with half of the cherry tomatoes, half of the sun-dried tomatoes and half of the red onion. Drizzle with tomato sauce. Slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or tiles. Bake until is nicely browned, 7 to 12 minutes. Use the paddle or cookie sheet, helped by a spatula if necessary, to remove the pizza from the oven. Transfer to a cutting board. Lightly brush the crust with oil. Garnish with basil and more Parmesan. With a pizza wheel or large, sharp knife, cut into wedges. Repeat steps with the remaining dough and toppings. WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 2 individual 10-inch (25-mm) pizzas 1 cup warm water 105 F to 115 F (38 C to 46 C), plus extra as needed 1 packet active dry yeast 1 tablespoon honey 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour, 15 to 16 ounces (425 to 453g) in weight, plus extra as needed 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt In a 2-cup (500-mL) measuring cup, combine the water, yeast and honey. Stir until the yeast dissolves. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, oil and salt. Still pulsing, slowly pour in the yeast-water mixture; then, process until a ball of dough forms. Pulse in a little more flour if the dough seems too sticky, or a little more water if too dry. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let rise at warm room temperature for 2 hours Divide the dough into two equal balls. Work each into a compact, even shape by pulling the dough down around its sides and pinching it together at the bottom. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll under your palm until it forms an even, smooth, firm ball, about 1 minute. Place the dough balls on an oiled baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rest up to a day in the refrigerator; or store in the freezer, to be thawed in the refrigerator for 24 hours before use.
