Solar Panel Issue Before Superior Court

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – A Superior Court judge will decide if Jackson Township’s solar array ordinances are lawful.

That trial is set for December 19 in Ocean County’s Superior Court by Judge Marlene Lynch Ford.

Six Flags Great Adventure and KDC Solar agreed to postpone its clearing of 70 acres of woods it owns by Reed Road to let a Superior Court judge decide if the Jackson Township ordinance allowing the project is legal. Environmental and citizen groups are suing to stop the project.

Attorney Michele Donato, who has represented numerous environmental groups throughout this battle, said if the judge upholds the validity of the Jackson Township ordinance, she will then proceed to challenge the township planning board’s approval of the project.

The Jackson Times, November 12, 2016, Page 5 This year, Ocean County towns have seen the dedication of new memorials, gardens and events to honor veterans.

A spe cial Octobe r event held by Congressman Tom MacArthur’s office gave recognition for local World War II veterans, with several veterans who told crowds their stories at the Toms River American Legion.

A nd i n t he O c e a n C ou nt y M a l l , Thomas Eck holt of Toms River was p r e s e nt e d t h e Ne w Je r s e y D i s t i n g u i s h e d S e r v ic e Me d a l t o fo r h i s father, Paul, a World War II who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. The medal ceremony was held on October 25 in the center court of the mall.

The ceremony marked the start of a two-day visit of the veterans outreach k iosk f rom 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, where veterans and their family members can learn more about benefits or entitlements that they could be eligible to receive. Veterans and their families can call 1-888-8NJ-VETS for assistance.

In addition, the Toms River American Legion Post dedicated a memorial

area, complete with engraved pavers from suppor ters, who had messages and names of veterans enscribed. The f u nd r aise r of t he pave r s helped to build the monument, which included f lags, biographies and service information of the local soldiers who died in combat that the post’s A mer ican Legion R iders escor ted back home as part of their respective memorial services.

Also in Toms River this year, officials and the Garden Club of Toms River held a dedication of a Blue Star Highway Memorial Marker on November 5 at Winding River Park.

The ceremony included the present at ion of colors, Nat ional A nt hem, military tribute, and remarks from the state Depar tment of Transpor tation, the Department of New Jersey Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion Post 129 and Marine Cor ps League, Detachment 796.

According to the township: “The Blue Star Memorial Program honors all men and women that serve in the United States Armed Services. This program

began with the planting of 8,000 Dogwood trees by the New Jersey Council of Garden Clubs in 1944 as a living memorial to veterans of World War II. The Blue Star became an icon during World War II. It was seen on service f lags in the front windows of homes telling others that a family member was serving.”

In Jackson, the Veterans Memorial Garden continues to grow, with the conc ret e slab whe re a la rge r scale marble constr uction awaits additional funding through donations and fundraisers, such as the recent AMVETs dinner.

The site, its founders said, is one for all veterans, not just for annual Veteran’s Day ceremonies but to ref lect or simply sit over coffee.

Sexual Assault Knows No Political Party

Bragging about groping and sexually assaulting someone is no laughing matter, regardless of one’s political affiliation. We’ve certainly seen headlines over the years highlighting such inappropriate behaviors from both Republican and Democrat officials, and many of us have heard similar things from individuals not in the public realm, and it is simply not acceptable.

Bottom line, no one deserves to be sexually assaulted or raped, and these crimes can affect anyone.

In fact, U.S. Department of Justice data indicates that as many as 1 in 5 women will have been raped in

their lifetimes, and 1 in 33 men will have been raped.

The numbers of those experiencing sexual assault is even greater. Individuals who’ve experienced rape or sexual assault are at higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorders, depression and anxiety, and even suicide.

We encourage anyone affected by sexual assault or rape to call our hotline at 888-264-RAPE as help is a phone call away.

You May Say That I’m A Dreamer I’ve just completed my Christmas wish list, albeit a little bit early this year.

First, I’d like to see mandatory “term limits” for all elected officials. Secondly, that research scientists come up with an over-the-counter, nonprescription vaccine that would cure Hillary Clinton of an affliction she’s had all her adult life – that is her inability to tell the truth.

To put her condition in more sophisticated terms – “liar, liar, pants on fire!”

Next, I’d be willing to relinquish one of my Christmas presents in favor of a “bag of coal” being put under Donald Trump’s Christmas tree this year, for the way he has treated many women.

Mr. Trump is a lot dumber than he is given credit for.

Another nice holiday present would be for the clergy to tell the truth; that they know nothing about life after death, nothing about heavens or hells, nothing about the destiny of humankind and nothing about devils, gods or angels. I would have them convey to their congregations – think for yourself, and do the best you can to increase the sum of human happiness and well-being.

One of the nicest holiday gifts I ever received (and still have), is a framed quote by Robert Ingersoll which reads: “Happiness is the only good; reason the only torch; justice the only worship; humanity the only religion; and love the

Letters To The Editor only priest. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to help make others so.”

Yellow Lines Matter It is outrageous that some New Jersey communities such as Mahwah in Bergen County and Mantua Township in Gloucester, are painting a blue line in between the double yellow lines on the road, to indicate unwavering support for police, amidst so many mostly black citizens being murdered by police officers.

These municipal governments risk confusing drivers with such an unknown marking, threatening road safety, and sending a negative message towards minority groups and others who have called for much needed reform in U.S. policing.

As long as these lines are present, no one should face a traffic ticket for improper passing, because the lines are confusing and obscured with this town-sponsored vandalism that sends a chilling message to black drivers.

What Is Thorough And Efficient Education?

especially over “inequalities” in the percent of state aid given to different districts.

Public education in New Jersey is funded chief ly through local property taxes and State aid, with a comparatively small amount of Federal funding. School property taxes are collected by taxing municipalities and then paid to the school districts in which students from those municipalities are enrolled.

State aid is paid directly by the state to school districts according to the shortfall between what the state judges is required to provide a thorough and efficient education for each and every student within a district and the amount raised through local property taxes.

The primary goal of state aid to public education is to provide equal opportunity to all students to a thorough and efficient education regardless of wealth or social status, taking into consideration their educational needs.

The administration of state aid by the state is apportioned to school districts to a number of educational categories in accordance with district need as assessed by the state from data supplied by school districts.

The most important comparative index of a tax base’s ability to support the cost of public education is the tax base dollars behind each public school student in a school district. Districts having a higher tax base dollar amount per student can more fully fund the school district at a given tax rate, all other things being equal, than those having a lower tax base dollar amount per student.

Thus, school districts having a higher tax base dollar amount per student will require less and will receive proportionately less state aid to provide a thorough and efficient education to its students than those school districts having a lower tax base dollar amount per student. When viewed from this perspective, state aid

has been given equitably to make up the shortfall, even though the percentages of state aid differ.

An inference drawn from this is that communities having atypically few public school students (senior communities) must expect to receive a lower percentage of state aid than other more representative communities. And owing to the regressive nature of property taxes, low income and seniors on relatively fixed incomes will be hit hardest.

To address this problem, the state has instituted property tax rebates and property tax freezes to qualified seniors.

Nevertheless, the issue of “fairness” has been raised once again, this time, by Governor Christie with his proposal to fund each student the same dollar amount in state aid.

Assuming that he is not ignorant, he has challenged the authority of the state to determine what a thorough and efficient education means for all New Jersey students. You can judge for yourself how far he will get by doing that – especially now that his term of office is coming to a close and as he continues to turn his attention more and more to his future political aspirations.

Local politicos, who are so inclined, will continue to pay lip service to the Christie proposal while secretly praying for him to move on.

Public Works Does A Great Job A big thank you to the Manchester Township Public Works. A prompt and meticulous clean-up was undertaken after I telephoned to report illegal dumping found in the Harry Wright Lake area.

My neighbors in Fox Hollow are much impressed with our township and their quick response.

12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

Dancer’s Bill To Monitor Domestic Violence Violators Clears Assembly Panel

TR ENTON – An Assembly panel approved legislation Assemblyman Ron Dancer sponsors t o p r o t e c t v i c t i m s of domestic violence. The bill (A-315) establishes a fo u r-ye a r pi lo t p r o gram in Ocean Count y to elect ron ically monitor domest ic v iolence offenders.

“Physical abuse almost always results i n

long-term psychological harm and never should be tolerated,” said Dancer ( R- O c e a n) . “ L i s a d i d ever y t h i ng she cou ld t o t r y t o p r o t e c t h e rself, but our current law wasn’t enough. We need to keep people safe from abusers who are likely to continue their depraved behavior. This measure will allow us to take advantage of all available

technology to make sure violent offenders cannot repeat their crimes.”

The legislation, known a s “ L i s a’s L a w,” c r e ates a pilot program that a p pl i e s t o d e fe n d a n t s conv ict ed of cont empt of a domestic violence restraining order. When such a defendant is rele a s e d , t he c ou r t m ay order elect ron ic mon itoring as a condition of

release. Tampering with, removing or vandalizing the device will be a third degree crime which carries a 3 to 5 year prison sentence and a fine up to $15,000.

Dancer added that while t he t e ch nolog y ex ist s , no other states currently ele ct ron ical ly mon it or people convicted of domestic violence or who v iolat e re st r ai n i ng or-

ders. He said the bill has t h e p o t e nt i a l t o m a ke New Jersey a leader in using technology to protect people f rom being re-victimized.

The measu re was inspired by the tragic death of Letizia “Lisa” Zindell, 30, of Toms River, who was st rangled to death in 2009 by her ex-fiancé who had been released from jail the day before

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer

despite v iolat i ng a re st raining order several times. Zindell was a social worker for the state Div ision of Yout h a nd Family Services working toward her second master’s degree.

From The Desk Of The Ocean County Freeholders OCEA N COU N T Y – The installation of three treatment devices that will help stop pollutants from entering the Toms River and ultimately Barnegat Bay are expected to be completed by year’s end.

“This is all part of our cont i nui ng prog ra m to preserve and protect Barnegat Bay,” said Ocean Cou nt y Freeholder Dir e c t o r J o h n P. K e l l y, who serves as liaison to t he Ocea n Cou nt y Engi neer i ng Depa r t ment.

“Ocean County adopted a multi-faceted program a nu mber of years ago focusing on protecting the bay by reducing pollutants entering the national estuary.”

In addition to installing stormwater Manufactured Treatment Devices in areas throughout the County, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders also rely on its six pumpout boats to keep wastewater f rom being i mproperly d ischa rged into the bay, an aggressive open space preservation program and its stor mwater crews in the Ocean County Road Department a s pa r t of it s ongoi ng efforts to improve water quality.

Preserving Barnegat Bay Is An Ocean County Priority

“Many Ocean County government departments have an important role in protecting Barnegat Bay,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who supporte d t he leg islat ion t hat c re at e d t he ‘Shore -t o Please’ license plate program which helps provide funding for the pumpout boat program. “We are all stewards of the environment and we take this ver y ser iously. T his is something we all have a vested interest in. It’s a big part of life in Ocean County and we do all we can to take care of it.”

Kelly noted the county’s Engineering Department has been closely working with the state’s Environmental Infrastructure Trust Fund program which has provided substantial funding for upgrades to the storm water management system.

“T hese upg rades a re helping to keep sediments, nutrients and f loatables out of the bay and the waterways that connect to it,” Kelly said. “It’s a partnership with the state that is helping to make a difference in our environment.”

The newest treatment devices to be installed will

be located on Water Street near Riverfront County Park, Caldwell Drive and on Lakehurst Road west of Wrights Bridge.

“T hese u n its a re ap proved by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to help remove plastic f loatables, oils, and sand from the st or mwat e r t h at f lows through them,” Kelly said.

“Each one of those elements works to degrade the health of Ba r negat Bay and its tributaries.

By keeping them out of the bay we are helping to improve its quality.”

Kelly along with Ocean Cou nt y Eng i nee r Joh n Ernst reviewed the county’s efforts to protect the bay during the September 28 preboard meeting.

Ernst noted that in 2015, six Manufactured Treatment Devices were installed into existing drainage outfall pipe systems that also drain to the Toms River. The treatment devices were constructed in South Toms River, Beachwood and Pine Beach with the cost of construction about $900,000.

The cost to construct and install the three treatment devices in Toms River is approximately $500,000.

“Ocean County continues to make a significant invest ment an nually in protecting our bay,” Kelly said. “This is an environmental t reasu re that is enjoyed by our citizens and visitors.”

“It is ou r continuing plan to work strategically up the mainland coast of Barnegat Bay and identify existing drainage systems that can benefit from the installation of MTDs,” Er nst said. “Our effor t first started in Berkeley Township and at the uppermost northern part of the bay at Twilight Lake in Bay Head. These two locations had MTDs installed in 2014.”

The next planned installations will be three in Brick Township. These units will be constructed in systems that drain to the Metedeconk River and Kettle Creek.

“These are already in design and should be constructed in 2017,” Kelly said. “We have installed 35 of these devices so far across the County.”

Kelly noted that to further the county’s efforts of improving the water quality of the bay, the County also has purchased dedicated equipment to keep

drainage systems clean and county roads swept.

“Using county and state funds we have been able to purchase vacuum trucks t o clea n out t he a ccumulated debris and oils from the MTDs and street sweepers to help prevent sand from getting to the MTDs in the first place,” Kelly said.

Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Road Department said a dedicated crew of eight workers oversees the stor m drains for the County.

“The stormwater crew operates vacuum trucks, sweepers and other equipment used to clean basins with the assistance of area road crews,” Little said.

“They also screen street sweepings from our own roads and some municipalities that have entered into agreements with the County.

“We sweep 1,600 lane miles of County roads,” Little said. “We also maintain approximately 10,000 catch basins.”

In addition, the County c ont i nue s t o pu r ch a s e open space for the protection of its resources, said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves

as liaison to the Ocean Cou nt y Nat u r al La nd s Program.

“We purchased the first property under this program in 1998,” Bartlett said. “Ocean County has now acquired 179 properties totaling 15,900 acres.”

Another 10 properties totaling 1,343 acres are under contract and should close before the end of the year. In addition 3,339 acres of far mland also have been preserved.

A total of $23 million ha s been allocated for properties purchased or scheduled to close in 2016.

Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari said the county’s six pumpout boats provide an important free service to boaters in the greater Bar negat Bay region by removing wastewater from boats that could have ended up in the bay.

“While our captains are still work ing on weekend s t h roug h October, we know that during the 2015 summer season 6,439 recreational vessels were serviced by the pumpout b o at s , r e mov i ng mor e than 131,000 gallons of wastewater,” Vicari said.

“Similar numbers are expected for the 2016 season.”

my brain moving too.” Students will now have the opportunity to experience a learning environment as dynamic as the technology in it.

The goal of the Ocean First Model Classroom Grant Program is to support schools that have the vision, creativity and desire to develop model classrooms for learning.

New Egypt Middle School was one of 15 schools to receive a $10,000 grant to improve and enhance instruction.

“This is New Egypt Middle School’s second consecutive year to be awarded this generous grant. Thank you Ocean First for your support. We look forward to working with you in partnership for the benefit of our students,” said Andrea Caldes, Principal of New Egypt Middle School.

–Photo courtesy Plumsted Township School District Peer Leaders from the New Egypt High School read to students at the district’s primary school during National Acts of Kindness Week.

NEW EGYPT – Students from the New Egypt Primary School and Peer Leaders from New Egypt High School recently joined hands in a lesson about acts of kindness. That is how the primary school pupils kicked off National Acts of Kindness Week, the foundation for the school’s ongoing character education program.

Each year during National Acts of Kindness Week, School Counselor Heather Collins of the New Egypt Primary School invites the high school Peer Leaders to share a lesson about kindness with the younger children. “It is clear that a little kindness goes a long way and at this age, modeling kindness for students and teaching them through peer guidance is extremely successful,” Collins said.

The High School students reinforce the importance of kindness through literature.

Peer Leadership advisers Jeffrey Jaegel and Dr. Erin Sappio, along with 20 high school student peer leaders, went into each preschool, kindergarten and first grade class to teach lessons about kindness. After hearing presentations of “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister, they discussed ways to be kind to others and then signed and decorated red handprints to symbolize their commitment to kindness.

“It was evident that the primary school students were excited about the guidance they received from the peer leaders,” said Collins, who noted that the peer leaders were just as excited about the lesson.

Hearing Health Snap Shot Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family.

Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers.

Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss.

Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss.

2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss.

3. One in 14 Generation Xers (3748) already have hearing loss.

4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss.

5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of hearing loss by 50 percent

Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound.

Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss.

Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia.

Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.

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.

Four Simple And Potentially Life-Saving Tips On Breast Cancer

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Few things are more painful to bear than a diagnosis of breast cancer and all that goes with it. I have three close friends who are breast cancer th rivers today, although my mother-in-law died from it because the suspicious spot on her scan did not receive follow up imaging and by the following year, it was too late. She died in 1996. I miss her but I get to love her son, my sweet Sam. We’ve learned so much since then. I will share the new research now. There is a more comprehensive version of my article with more tips at my website, suzycohen. com. Just sign up for my newsletter to receive your copy.

1. Bone loss t reat ment may need to be re-evaluated. According to a paper published in Medical Hypothesis (2010), a lt e r at io n s i n t he s e r u m c a lciu m t o magnesium ratio could lead to increased development of new as well as recurrent breast cancer (due to low magnesium levels relatively speaking). The paper states, “Most women with hor mone sensitive breast cancer are recommended to take aromatase inhibitors, which causes bone loss and thus are generally prescribed Calcium and vitamin D, but not Magnesium.” So when you take high amounts of calcium all by itself for osteoporosis, it may be better for you to add supportive minerals like magnesium and/or vitamin D. Talk to your doctor.

2. Natural folate from salads and greens are incredible for you. Eating folate-rich foods appears to reduce risk. This was determined when researchers evaluated the diets of 367,993 women recruited from

10 European countries. The researchers used data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Eating a diet that is rich in dietary folate may be associated with a lower risk of sex hormone receptor-negative breast cancer, at least in pre-menopausal women.

3. There are natural SERMs like Rhodiola. The SERMs short for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators can block estrogen-mediated breast cancer growth and help to maintain bone density in postmenopausal women. You know the drugs as tamoxifen (Nolvadex) and raloxifene (Evista) and others. A paper in Phytomedicine 2016 found that Rhodiola rosea acts a bit like a SERM by binding to estrogen receptors, counteracting TNF alpha and protecting bone cells (osteoblasts) from hydrogen peroxide. You should discuss the risks to benefits with your physician but it seems that with SERM activity, natural Rhodiola might help mitigate or delay menopause-related discomfort and support breast health.

4. Eating rosemary is powerful. This herb contains natural compounds such as rosmarinic acid that are protective of our reproductive organs. Another spice called Spica prunellae (Xia Ku Cao in Chinese medicine) contains this rosmarinic acid.

There are studies on rosmarinic acid that are important to breast cancer survivors, for example one that found how it can slow or inhibit bone metastasis from breast cancer. There are more tips at my site. For now, consider putting rosemary sprigs in everything you eat. It’s easy, simple and provides many other health benefits.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

He Does Virtually Nothing

Dear Joel, I have a 23 year old son who still lives at home. My problem isn’t that I object to his living here. What concerns me is that he doesn’t work and contributes nothing toward the household. He barely has any friends and does virtually nothing. I need help!

Answer: I’m not sure that you need the help. I hear nothing in your letter that indicates that. Your son on the other hand does need guidance.

While I don’t hear that he is doing anything wrong, there isn’t much right being done either. I think that you have to start by having him pay rent.

I’m su re your question is where will he get the money from. My answer to that is by giving him chores and assigning a dollar value to each chore.

So for example if you think that he should be contributing $150 a week, have mowing the lawn worth $30, raking leaves $20 and so on. He may find that working for someone else outside the home is more pleasant. You, however, have to start somewhere. Let me know how it works out.

Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Mathis Bridge Closed Through Spring

OCEA N COU N T Y – New Jer sey Depar t ment of Transpor t ation ( NJDOT) of f icials rem i nded motor ists the Mathis Bridge/Route 37 eastbound is scheduled to be closed through the spring to continue a deck replacement project. Traffic will be shifted onto the Tunney Bridge/Route 37 westbound in Ocean County.

No wide loads will be permitted on the eastbound lane of the Tunney Bridge wh ile t he Mat h is Br idge is closed.

Drivers must obtain a permit from the NJDOT, which will direct them to an acceptable alter nate route. For more information about oversize loads visit the NJDOT trucking web page.

While the Mathis Bridge is closed, t wo lanes of t raff ic westbou nd and one lane eastbound will be maintained on the Tunney Bridge, separated by a moveable bar rier. Should there be a need for an evacuation, all th ree lanes may be made operational in the westerly direction. The Mathis bridge will reopen by May 15 before the busy summer vacation season.

T he r e w i l l b e no Mat h i s Br id ge openings for marine traff ic between December 1 and March 15. This upcoming construction cycle will allow the contractor to rehabilitate the bridge

operator’s house, install the new “candy cane” style warning gates, conduct minor elect r ical work and continue with bridge work from the center bascule to the west.

The eastbound Mathis Bridge and westbound Tunney Bridges are a pair of br idges ca r r y i ng Rout e 37 ove r Barnegat Bay between Toms River and Seaside Heights. The Mathis Bridge, a mile-long double leaf bascule moveable span bridge completed in 1950, is the older of the two and in need of repairs.

T he $74 million federally-f u nded project will replace the existing bridge deck on the Mathis Bridge, which is 66 years old, make safety improvements to the barrier and railings, and repair and replace mechanical and electrical components that operate the moveable lift span.

Construction is anticipated to take place for three seasons and is expected to be completed by the summer 2018.

The construction cycle requiring a full closure of the Mathis Bridge will be limited to November 1 to April 30 each year. During each of these construction cycles, summer traffic from approximately May 15 to September 15 will not be affected and all three current lanes on each bridge will be open to traffic.

Page 22, The Jackson Times, November 12, 2016 KDC can take other than this clear-cut plan.

If Six Flags would have put solar panels on their parking lot, they would be operating already. This proves that this is a bad project because after all this time and all this money spent, there’s still no solar,” Jeff Tittel, director of New Jersey Sierra Club, said in October. “We are going to Court because this is a good project in the wrong place.

Instead of clear-cutting 16,000 trees, there are other alternatives Six Flags could take that do not impact habitat, water quality and flooding. We need them to stop the clear-cut because it will undermine all the benefits of clean energy.”

Court:

lots, would still raze 67 acres of trees which Great Adventure has deemed in poor health.

Great Adventure promised to plant 19,000 trees. Some of the solar arrays would be placed over the employee parking lot, but not the main parking lots.

Any plans to start the work were put on hold. Great Adventure and KDC Solar agreed with environmental groups to wait until the court resolves the issue.

“We strongly support solar power, but there are better alternatives Six Flags and

any impact to the environment,” Great Adventure public relations supervisor Kaitlyn Pitts wrote. “We are excited about the fact that this project will reduce carbon emissions by 31 times more than the trees and shrubs that will be removed, and that we will become the world’s first solar-powered theme park. This project is a positive for the environment and will not harm the habitats of threatened or endangered species, nor impair protected wetlands or watersheds.

Clean energy is right for the environment and our future, and this project is a giant step toward becoming a net-zero carbon theme park.”

Great Adventure’s legal representation has said solar arrays in the visitor parking lots would cause a security hazard while also causing a loss of parking spaces.

The Jackson Times reached out to Great Adventure for comment on the upcoming trial. A representative from Great Adventure president John Fitzgerald’s office said Great Adventure had no comment on the upcoming court date, but did provide a fact sheet detailing the project.

“Six Flags has been, and will remain, a good custodian of the environment. We are also good corporate citizens, and along with KDC Solar, are committed to mitigating

Changes To The New Jersey Estate Tax Law

On October 14, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie approved legislation to amend the New Jersey Estate Tax. Prior to this amendment, New Jersey was one of only a handful of states to have an estate tax and the state with the lowest estate tax threshold of any state. Under the new legislation, the New Jersey Estate Tax threshold will be raised from the current $675,000.00 to $2,000,000.00 effective January 1, 2017. As of January 1, 2018, the New Jersey Estate Tax will be eliminated.

The change is not retroactive so it will not affect the estates of persons who passed away in 2016.

What impact will this have? For persons with g ross estates with a value of less than $675,000.00 or for persons who are leaving their entire estate to their spouses, this legislation will have no impact. For persons who have estates greater than $675,000.00 the change in the law will reduce and then eliminate their New Jersey Estate Taxes.

If you had an estate greater than $675,0 0 0.0 0 a n d h a d p r e v iou sly prepared Wills or Trusts to reduce or eliminate the New Jersey Estate Taxes, you should have those documents reviewed by an estate planning attorney to determine if those documents need to be revised in light of the changes to the law. For example, many people used complicated “credit shelter” Wills to reduce or eliminate the possible Estate Tax consequences. In most cases, this kind of tax planning required the persons to separate their assets from the assets of their spouses.

This kind of planning could be cumbersome Marc S. Galella Esq. and complicated in maintaining separate assets. With the change in the law, it may not be necessary to keep such complicated documents or to maintain separate assets for each spouse. The ability to change the complicated type of Will to a simpler Will may be desirable.

Remember that the change to the New Jersey Estate Tax law does not affect the Federal Estate Tax which applies to estates in excess of $5,400,000.00 for 2016. Nor does it affect the New Jersey Inheritance Tax law which taxes inheritances which are passing to persons other than spouses, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The State left the Inheritance Tax law in effect. If you have an estate in excess of $5,400,000.00 or are leaving assets to persons who are not your lineal descendants, you may still need to consider some form of death tax planning.

If you have any questions as to how the change in the New Jersey Estate Tax law affects your estate, you should consult with an estate planning attorney who can review your current documents and advise you as to what changes, if any, are recommended. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Associates have been advising the residents of Ocean and Monmouth Counties as to estate planning matters for over 90 combined years.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Garden State Radiation Oncology

Toms River Radiation Oncologist Dr. Bryan Eggert Fights The Good Fight For Patient Lives And Liberties

By Joyce Blay Toms River radiation oncology specialist Dr. Bryan Eggert is not running for public office, but that hasn’t stopped him from advocating for his patients’ rights to government services.

“I fight for my patients to get what they deserve,” he tells a visitor to his office. “I advocate for treatment and medical coverage.”

Dr. Eggert is an affiliate physician of Garden State Medical Center, a unique multi-specialty, out-patient medical facility serving the tri-state area.

He also fights for the health and well-being of patients engaged in a personal battle with an implacable foe - cancer.

For this staunch medical warrior, there is no retreat and no quarter given.

“The general outlook for a cancer diagnosis is quite ominous,” Dr. Egger t says. “I think people need to understand and overcome that psychological barrier. A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the end of the world.”

Many of Dr. Eggert’s patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. The West f ield, NJ native views their lives and their self-esteem his personal responsibility to rescue.

“Isn’t empathy a doctor’s personal responsibility?” he asks rhetorically. “I provide emotional support, empathy, counseling. A patient diagnosed with cancer that comes here for radiological treatment will

But not for Dr. Eggert and his staff.

The Renaissance physician prepared for a distinguished academic career by combining a rigorous medical education with a broad interest in liberal arts.

Dr. Eggert is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he majored in Chemistry, but also excelled in Philosophy and English. In 1983, Dr. Eggert received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. “That was a very intensive program,” he says of his medical education.

In addition to his professional responsibilities, Dr. Egger t also may arrange for delivery of social services, such as Meals On Wheels, or service calls from the Visiting Nurse Association.

“I’d like to think I pick up on little things in order to treat the whole person,” he says.

Transform An Ordinary Bowl Of Soup Into An Extraordinary Meal

By Wolfgang Puck

It always interests me how just one special element can make the difference between a dish that’s tastes just fine and one that people find amazing.

It could be a seasoning - the touch of honey that can brighten up a lemon vinaigrette, for example - or maybe be a garnish (Imagine what a Caesar salad would be like without the garlicky crunch of croutons). And occasionally, it’s something that so transforms the result that it receives co-star billing in the recipe name itself.

That last case certainly holds true for one of the most popular soups I know: broccoli cheddar. Yes, a pureed soup of fresh broccoli on its own can be excellent, especially if you make it with a rich, f lavorful chicken stock or vegetable stock and an aromatic base of garlic and onion or leeks. But add cheese to the soup and something magical happens.

The slightly pungent character of broccoli, a close relative of cabbages and mustard, suddenly softens when c ou nt e r ba la nc e d by t he che e se’s creamy, sometimes tangy f lavor. As it melts, cheese also contributes a wonderfully velvety, thick consistency. The result is a soup that guests always go wild for when we offer my version of it in one of my restaurants.

In fact, many of them have told me that they never imagined they would like a soup that stars broccoli - until someone else at their table offered them a spoonful.

So please allow me to be the one who offers you a taste, with my personal recipe. One look at it will probably surprise you, especially when you see how few ingredients it requires and how simple the instructions are.

In fact, most of the recipe involves everyday cooking methods: sauteing (for the leek and garlic), simmering (for the broccoli) and pureeing the soup in a blender or food processor or in the pot with an immersion blender.

The only out-of-the-ordinary step is one you should take if you don’t plan to serve the soup right away: quickly chilling it over an ice bath of ice cubes and cold water. This helps to set the bright green color, making for an especially beautiful bowlful.

As for the cheese, I like to use cheddar, especially a sharper aged variety.

But you could substitute any other kind of good melting cheese you like.

Speaking of substitutions, the recipe also works beautifully if you substitute caulif lower for the broccoli.

And there’s one more element to this recipe that makes it even more beautiful and delicious: quickly made crostini. Crispy toasts covered with a little more cheese, melted and bubbly.

That’s one more example of the way just one special extra element can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CROSTINI Serves 8 BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large organic leek, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 7 cups (1.75 L) organic, low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock or broth 1 tablespoon honey Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 2 1/2 pounds (1.25 kg) broccoli, stems peeled and coarsely chopped, florets cut into smaller pieces 1/2 lemon 1 cup (250 mL) shredded cheddar cheese CHEDDAR CROSTINI: 1/2 loaf crusty French bread or Italian bread, cut into slices 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for garnish Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large nonreactive pot over medium heat.

Add the leek and garlic, reduce the heat to low, and saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are translucent and very tender but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir in the stock, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Raise the heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer, and continue simmering for 5 minutes.

Stir in the broccoli and squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is barely tender and still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes.

Working carefully in batches, use a blender or food processor to puree the soup; or puree directly in the pot with an immersion blender.

If serving the soup hot immediately, shred or sprinkle 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheese into the blender/processor or pot, dividing it among the batches if using a blender/ processor. Pulse to combine the cheese with the hot puree.

If you’re making the soup in advance or want to serve a cold broccoli soup, transfer the soup to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl inside a larger bowl partially filled with ice and water. Stir until cooled down completely.

Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. If reheating, stir the cheddar into the soup over medium heat.

While the soup cooks or reheats, preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). For the crostini, arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the oven to the broil setting. Shred or sprinkle 1/2 cup (125 mL) of cheese over the slices and broil until melted, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Ladle the hot soup into heated serving bowls and sprinkle or shred a little more cheese over its surface. Float a crostini on top, serving more on the side. You can also serve with a few more broccoli florets, if desired.
