Open Space Tax May Increase
Xscape Theatres Cause Rumbling For Residents
By Sara Grillo HOWELL – The township zoning board will hear a unique application on August 28. Castle Court resident Marc Parisi lives 191 feet from the back wall of Xscape Theatres on Route 9 and has heard loud rumbling noises in his house every day for the past 15 months. He suspects that the sound, which he said equates to a thunderstorm, is coming from the theatre’s sound system. Parisi’s concerns were partially heard at a May 8 zoning board meeting, which he attended to appeal a letter from the township’s Director of Land Use that said his

Nonviolent Veteran Offenders Get A Second Chance

After being approved into the program by the Prosecutor’s Office, veterans will be expected to attend regular counseling and receive mental health or substance abuse treatment, if necessary. It involves rigorous supervision and monitoring of that veteran’s treatment by the health provider, Veterans Administration and Prosecutor’s Office. Veterans would also be assigned a volunteer mentor to provide support and guidance during treatment. The goal is for these veterans is to successfully complete the program, make substantial progress in their mental health or substance abuse issues, and ultimately have their criminal charges dismissed and the underlying charge expunged. “We have a moral obligation to our veterans and service members. They return home after long tours of duty in warzones with unseen wounds and issues related to their combat experiences. They can turn to drugs and crime in their efforts to cope. They

Also during that meeting, Parisi told officials that he purchased his home in September 2014, before Xscape Theatres was built, but attended two hearings in April 2015 after he found out about it. Parisi said that during those hearings the theatre’s acoustical engineer said that in his opinion, he expected the sound coming from the theatre, if any, would be no louder than the traffic on Route 9. Parisi fi rst heard the rumbling noise when the Xscape Theatre held a soft opening in April 2016. Two months later,
need our compassion – something they have surely earned – to make a difference in their lives instead of convictions and jail sentences,” Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said. The Veterans Diversion Program is modeled off of other, similar programs for veterans throughout the country, such as one in Buffalo, New York called C.O.U.R.T.S., which screens and diverts nonviolent veteran drug offenders to treatment facilities instead of jail. Prosecutor Gramiccioni has urged law enforcement officers across Monmouth County to question arrestees and find out if they are active or former service members in an effort ensure all eligible veterans are being considered for the program. Although third and fourth degree non-violent offenders will be the primary recipients of the VDP, veterans charged with other offenses may also be approved if the prosecutor feels the circumstances of their criminal act warrants diversion. Any attorney who feels they have clients who would be eligible for this diversion program should reach out to Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor Michael J. Wojciechowski at 732-431-7160, ext. 7184 or mwojciechowski@mcponj.org.
several theatre representatives came into Parisi’s home to observe the noise fi rst hand. He said those representatives advised him they were purchasing materials to fi x the problem and were waiting for those materials to be installed. Nearby resident Richard W. Weynberg, Sr., who lives 400 feet from the theatre, was also at the meeting and said he can hear a rumbling, low frequency sound, even though he has a hearing disability and his home is more in line with the highway than the theatre. The application was originally set to be heard at the August 14 zoning board meeting, but Parisi said because they will not have a full zoning board, it was pushed to August 28.

County’s population, and is essentially a non-partisan issue. “Everyone has an opportunity to benefit from that – and they do,” she said. Officials said that increasing the Open Space tax in smaller increments would not be helpful, and would hinder the county’s ability to purchase the amount of property necessary to maintain the quality of life that residents have become accustomed to. According to the Freeholders, right now Monmouth County boasts a total of 17,000 total acres of open space – not including farmland – which accounts for about 15,000 acres alone. Although so much land has already been preserved, the Monmouth County Park System’s ultimate goal is to preserve over 20,000 acres to meet the county’s park, recreation, conservation and open space needs of the future. Officials pointed out that while on one side this is a tax increase, on the other side, it’s a long-term savings. This is especially
The Howell Times, August 19, 2017, Page 5 true when it comes to preventing overdevelopment, they said, which brings with it the cost of infrastructure and employment needs, such as requiring more police officers and schools. Even with the long-term savings, Howell residents earlier this year saw their taxes go up, mostly due to rising home values. Even though the municipal tax rate remained nearly flat, the median home value recently jumped $14,359. Many residents who attended council meetings throughout this year’s budget process told officials they were already paying taxes they felt were too high, some in excess of $24,000 a year. If voters approve the question in November, the new Open Space tax nearly doubles the previous rate, although officials said the amount has been specifically chosen in order to provide enough money to fund Open Space moving forward. “If they want to keep Monmouth County the beautiful place that it is, then they will make the decision to vote for this proposal,” said Freeholder Serena DiMaso, Esq.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
FEATURED LETTER Where’s The Free Tolls In NJ? According to TV ads, toll roads in New York are going cashless: E-Z Pa ss on ly. Nex t it is New Jersey. I am one of those holdouts that refuse to pay ransom in N.J. (one dollar a month just to get the monitor.) I still pay cash only. Where are the union reps complaining about the loss of revenue of laid-off union members (toll collectors)? Since the state will be saving money f rom salar ies,
pension and fringe benefits, does anyone dare to say now “Reduce the tolls and give us drivers a break?” The sound of silence is deafening! Remember, years ago, we were told that the Parkway would be toll free after constr uct ion cost s we re covered. That was 65 years ago and the tolls were raised ever since. Just another Garden State fairy tale! William McPhail Toms River

Teachers And Respect In some areas, the new school year has already begun. In my area, school will commence shortly. I retired June 30, 2016. I had the pleasure of working with numerous teachers as a media assistant and paraprofessional for 21 years. In 1996, when I began working in the educational field, teaching was regarded as a respectable profession. I was proud to say I worked in the middle school where I was employed as I witnessed, firsthand, teachers around me doing what they love with immense passion. As a media assistant in our school’s computer lab, I was fortunate to assist almost every teacher and their students in all subject areas. I was impressed by the many lessons teachers would come prepared with for their students. Throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, students appreciated having a computer lab where they were able to broaden the scope of their assignments. Along with that appreciation, students exhibited respect for their teachers, computer equipment, their peers, and themselves. In 2010, due to cutbacks, my media assistant position was dissolved, and I became a paraprofessional working with teachers and their students in a classroom setting. It was there I observed, even more closely, the daily routines of numerous teachers. Wow! The definition of
Letters To The Editor this 3-letter word does not can Also ignored by the writer, only confi rm that with even come close to its meaning of “expressing astonishment or admiration” for the teachers I worked with. If you have not had the opportunity to do what I have done, you cannot possibly fathom what a teacher’s day is truly like. Even if I were to put into words all that I have experienced, you still would be unable to realize what it entails. For those of you who have the mindset that a teacher’s day only exists within the time period between the first and last bells, you are vastly mistaken. The preparation for a day’s classes, not to mention a year’s syllabus, begins much sooner than that first bell, and continues far longer than the last. Along with striving to be an innovative educator, teachers must also contend with incessant parent emails, phone calls, and meetings. There is much more, but I won’t bore you, as the real purpose of my letter is to express how the prestige of teaching has diminished drastically. That fact is disheartening! I attribute it to the total lack of respect for teachers. People not in the education field would be surprised if they could see what really goes on today in the life of too many teachers. It is unacceptable when teachers must regularly grapple with blatant disrespect, foul language, and, at times, volatile behavior, rather than focus on educating their students. I cannot say exactly when it became so unbalanced; I

each passing year, it gets continually worse. When I attended school as a child, and even when my own children were in school, there was collective admiration for teachers. Without that, educating students is impeded, and obstructing education benefits nobody (students, teachers, parents). Therefore, I urge all to please bring back much-needed recognition for teachers. I especially request parents to teach your children to respect their teachers (and all adults, in general). Your children spend a large portion of their day with their teachers. It would be advantageous for everyone if respect was incorporated into the teaching profession once again. It would result in a win-win situation for everybody! I also want to take this opportunity to respectfully thank all of my teachers, my children’s teachers, and all the amazing teachers and paraeducators I worked with. Always remember, you truly have made, and you continue to make, a difference in the most positive ways! Donna Tuminaro Jackson
Safe Immigrants Should Be Welcomed The August 5th letter blaming immigrants for stealing American jobs is shameful as it ignores our proud historic tradition of welcoming the stranger. Forgotten were the words of Emma Lazarus on the Statue of Liberty that greets newcomers with hope and assurance they will no longer be outcasts and downtrodden: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Mr. Van Arsdale, is that except for Native American Indians we are all descendants of immigrants who fled from poverty and persecution only to be confronted by the same resentment expressed in his letter as well as torment because of race, religion or ethnic background. They were crowded into walkup tenements without bathrooms, 12-hour work days in dangerous sweat shops, forced to have their children engage in child labor and worked for pennies without any safety, security or health care. Yet, these determined people raised generations that became industrialists, businessmen, merchants, religious leaders, professionals, political leaders and service men and women many of whom died so that we can live in freedom and proudly sing, “God Bless America.” His charge that our new immigrants, who I acknowledge must in these dangerous times be extremely vetted, steal jobs and accept lower wages ignores the reality these jobs were available to Americans but immigrants had to be recruited because many Americans did not see fit to work in the undesirable conditions found in those occupations. Immigrants, however, have no choice but to take them if hired as did their forefathers. Unknown to many is that our government as well as other democracies have programs that actually recruit foreign workers for high level jobs because of their training and intellect. While injustices do occur (a perfect example is the discrepancy between wages for men and women who are not immigrants but born in America) overall we have become better and stronger because of the skills, willingness to work hard, determination to make better lives for themselves and their families and desire to serve their new country in our many wars in the pursuit of freedom for Mr. Van Arsdale and all Americans.

How Holbrook Came To Williamsport A Little League Team Takes A Long Journey
By Chris Christopher BRISTOL, CONN – The enormity of the accomplishment is hard to grasp. Here it is: The Holbrook Little League AllStars have earned a berth in the Little League Baseball World Series. “I don’t know if the boys really fathom what is about to happen to them,” said manager Rob Grano, prior to the first round of the United States Bracket at the Howard J. Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, PA. They’ll be facing off against Fairfield American (CT). “Once they pull in and see the layout, I think it will hit them,” Grano said via telephone while en route to Williamsport from Bristol on the team’s bus. “They will say, ‘Wow. We are actually here.’ It’s like a dream come true. It’s a little bit of a shock for me and a joy for me. This is the Disney World of baseball and these kids love baseball. For them, this is the highest of highs and the biggest of achievements. The boys are talented. They have been thinking about this since they were seven years old.” “In the Mid-Atlantic Region, there were 1,800 teams. It’s down to one in the region and it is us. It is still hard to believe.” The size of the feat has not escaped Jim Osmond, a Holbrook assistant coach. “It is unbelievable,” he said. “I don’t know if it has really sunk in yet.” Holbrook, located in Jackson Township, took time to mesh, to hear Grano tell it. “It took us a couple of weeks to bond and really get going,” he said. “Once we bonded, we seemed to become more consistent and get better and better. It took us either two or three weeks to start playing better baseball. It was always our goal to get here and we talked about it as coaches. When we lost Manchester (in the double elimination District 18 Tournament), this was the last thing we were thinking about. They played well in the game and we started off kind of slow.” Best known for its power laden attack and high octane offense, Holbrook has also shown the ability to make the plays in the field. Take the fateful night, for example, when it bested Maryland champion Thurmont 8-3 in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament championship game at the Leon J. Breen Field at the A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Complex in Bristol on ESPN. Chris Cartnick, whose solo homer put Holbrook up 1-0 in the top of the first inning, ignited a pair of 6-4-3 double plays over the first two innings. “We stress defense as a coaching staff because a lot of teams don’t stress it,” Grano said. “Hitting comes and goes. If you pitch and play defense at this level, you can beat anyone. We spend close to 90 minutes per practice on defense. Our outfield defense is some of the best you will ever see. Most of our players are interchangeable. Our boys practice at all of the positions all of the time. “If I have to put a player somewhere, I am pretty confident he will make a play as it is not the first time he is been at that position. Our defense has really been paying off for us.” Osmond said Holbrook has no weak players. “I would say the depth of our team is why we are so successful,” he said. “From roster slots one through 13, every player on this team is a player who would be a starter for

–Photos courtesy Holbrook Little League The Holbrook Little League advanced to the Little League World Series. any other team. One of the hardest things is finding enough playing time for all of the boys as they all deserve to be out there on the field all of the time. “Am I surprised we are here? I would not say I am surprised. I would say I am proud to see the boys continue to come through. We have known we have a very talented group. To go this far, you have to persevere through a lot of difficult times. You have to be lucky. You have to get breaks. And you have to work hard to achieve this type of success.” Holbrook also has solid pitching. Lefty Tai Mann was the winner that night, allowing two runs – both earned – in 3 2/3 innings. He needed just 26 pitches to make it through the first two innings. He slugged a two-run homer in the second, keying a six-run outburst that staked Holbrook to a 7-0 lead. “Our kids don’t throw 75 miles per hour,” Grano said, “But they do throw change ups and curve balls and hit their spots. I am not yet sure who will start on the mound. We have either five, six or seven kids we can run with. We will see how they feel. We will utilize either two or three pitchers per game. We will make sure we have enough pitchers available so that we are comfortable with whomever we put on the mound.” Fairfield, the Connecticut state champion, secured its berth with a 10-0 thrashing of Maine to win the New England championship at the Leon J. Breen Field. Fairfield, 18-0 in tournament play, erupted for four fourth-inning runs on two-run doubles by Sean O’Neil and Michael Iannazzo. Winner Ethan Righter pitched 4 1/3 innings, striking out nine, walking one and allowing four hits. Fairfield stroked 13 hits. Matthew Vivona stroked three hits in four at-bats. Fairfield’s victory was sweet as its players and coaches were treated to free ice cream from Saugatuck Sweets. “Many of these players are regular customers at our shop,” the ice cream and candy mecca announced on its Facebook page. “WIN FAIRFIELD AMERICAN WIN!!!!” “Congrats to the #Fairfield American team, New England #LLWS champs,” Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy said on Twitter. “We’re cheering for you on your way to the @Little League World Series!” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie tweeted, “Congratulations to Holbrook Little League of Jackson, NJ on their 8-3 win and Mid-Atlantic Regional championship. Now on to Williamsport!” Holbrook and Fairfield are far from strangers. (Little League - See Page 12)

Monmouth County Offers Free Paper Shredding
FREEHOLD – Monmouth County has scheduled ten paper shredding events in local communities so that Monmouth County residents have opportunities to safely get rid of old documents and confidential files. “Identity theft is a growing problem and a serious concern for all,” said Freeholder Serena DiMaso, liaison to the county’s recycling efforts. “By providing our residents opportunities to shred their sensitive documents we are helping them protect their personal information. By properly disposing of them, we are also making a difference for future generations by keeping recyclables out of the waste stream. We encourage residents to do their part by making use of these events and all other county services for proper waste disposal.” All shredding events will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. based on the following schedule: September 10 – Manasquan; Parking Lot at Fourth Ave. September 24 – Marlboro; 1979 Township Drive at the Municipal Complex.
October 7 – Neptune Township; 2201 Heck Ave. at the Department of Public Works. November 18 – Oceanport; 440 Port au Peck Ave. at Blackberry Bay Park. County residents may bring up to 100 pounds to be shredded. The shredding event will stop once the shredding truck is full. All papers will be shredded on location in the mobile truck. Documents should be free of large binder clips; staples and paper clips that may be left on documents. This is a project of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and 2017 partner municipalities of Aberdeen, Atlantic Highlands, Keyport, Manasquan, Marlboro, Monmouth Beach, Neptune Township, Oceanport, Spring Lake Heights and Upper Freehold. Information about these paper shredding events, recycling and removing other items from the county’s waste stream may be obtained from the county’s website at visitmonmouth.com or by calling 732-683-8686, ext. 6721.

They shared the bus to Williamsport. And Fairfield watched Holbrook down Thurmont. “It’s pretty great,” Grano said. “We are real friendly with their guys. They supported us and we feel the two best teams made it to Williamsport. We rooted for each other. It’s the way it should be. The boys all speak to each other. Our boys posed with the Maryland kids for pictures after the game. Some of these kids are going to be something big someday.” Newsy Notes The game will be televised on ESPN. Also in the United States bracket are regional and state championship teams from the Great Lakes, Midwest, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest and West. The International Bracket contains teams from the Asia-Pacific, Australia, Canada, Caribbean, Europe-Africa, Japan, Latin America and Mexico. The Series will be played from August 17 to 27. Osmond said a team must win all five games in the winner’s bracket to emerge as the world champion. “If we wind up in the loser’s bracket, you have to win a lot of games as you have to battle your way through,” he said. There will be several festivities, including a pre-Series parade through Williamsport and a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday at the 2,366seat BB&T Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field in Williamsport. The field is the home of the Williamsport Crosscutters, the Philadelphia Phillies’ short season Class A farm team which competes in the New York-Penn League. The game is known as the first Major League Baseball Little League Classic. The Pirates gave up a home game to play 200 miles away from their home stadium at the nation’s second-oldest minor-league ballpark. “We might be able to warm up and meet the players before the game,” Grano said. “I want the kids to really enjoy the Series. We are there to win and we want to win, but I want them to enjoy the whole experience. Whether we go long and go short, we will be there for at least a week and play a minimum three games.” Grano said Holbrook has begun a GoFundMe page on Facebook. For more information, go to the Holbrook Little League page. “We are asking the public to donate money to help our families defray the cost of the trip,” he said. “This is a short notice vacation. It involves baby sitters and some rooms cost $200 per night. We were gone for seven days in Connecticut. Between both tournaments, it involves almost a month in rooms. These are hardworking, middle class people so it is not like the families budget for this. People will
sell off their cars to make this trip.” Holbrook and Fairfield traveled for five hours to Williamsport on a bus chartered by Little League Baseball. “Our boys were in great spirits,” Grano said. “They watched a movie, Billy Madison, on the bus. There’s nothing like 12-year-olds. They are very, very excited.” Holbrook also won the Mid-Atlantic Region as 10-year-olds and lost in the Northeast Regional title game. “We have unfinished business,” Grano said. “We want to make up for that. We want to finish business. We have a good team and I want to see if we can compete and move on and get to that end goal. We take this as phases and seasons. Now, we are in phase five.” Holbrook is the sixth team from Ocean County to make it to Williamsport. “Let’s see how good we really are,” Grano said, “And let’s see if we can do something really special. Lakewood won it when I was a kid. It is possible. We have a chance. I definitely think we have a chance.” Lakewood, led by the pitching and power hitting of Dion Lowe, won the national title in 1975 when foreign teams were banned from the Series. Toms River East American, paced by the all-around play of former Toms River High School South, Rutgers University, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox star Todd Frazier – now starting at third base for the New York Yankees, won the LLBWS in 1998. “Let’s go Holbrook (Jackson NJ) Little League!” Lowe said on his Facebook page. “I love this tournament… unforgettable memories.” Of Holbrook’s early lead, Lowe said on his page, “Nothing like taking away a team’s spirit so early in the game! I love following this every year.” Jay Teitelbaum, who played in the outfield for Lakewood in 1975, said on his Facebook page in a reply to Lowe, “Dion, they look really good, good enough to have a chance for sure. It will be interesting to see how they stack up against the other teams now.” Frazier tweeted, “Congrats Holbrook Litttle League. Proud of you guys. I need a shirt to rock before Thursday. Someone send an XL 2 stadium. #njsfinest #llws2017.” Holbrook’s Cartnick has received hitting lessons from Frazier and his brothers, Jeff and Charles Frazier. Jeff Frazier starred at South and Rutgers and played for the Detroit Tigers. Charles excelled at South and played in the Florida Marlins’ minor league system. The Marlins are now the Miami Marlins. “I used to hit with all of the Fraziers, Cartnick told the New York Post. “They got my swing to what it is now and my dad (Tom) added onto it. Sometimes it was Todd, but mostly it was Jeff and Charlie.”

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Your Skin Reveals Your True State Of Health By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Your skin reveals a secret about your health. It will expose you, even if you say you’re feeling “okay” to everyone. I’m not referring to a tan, I’m referring to skin tone, texture and color. If you are pale, you may be anemic and deficient in iron. It shows up on your skin even if you mask the accompanying fatigue with NoDoz or coffee. Pale skin that is also dry may be a clue to your hypothyroidism, which also causes fatigue and hair loss. Healthy folks have a good supply of blood flow and oxygen throughout their body, so skin appears rosy and pink, as opposed to people with heart disease, high cholesterol or circulatory disorder. People with cancer sometimes have grey or blue-tinged skin or lips due to the lack of oxygenated blood. Asthma requires the use of steroids (i.e. prednisone) which can cause easy bruising; this problem also occurs from aspirin, ginkgo, fish oil and prescription anticoagulants to prevent a stroke or heart attack. If you are alcohol or nicotine-dependent, you will look older than you should, and have saggy skin because these lifestyle factors attack your collagen and elastin. Drinking and smoking age you inside and out. Sun worshippers and smokers often have age spots and an uneven skin tone, which is from the ultraviolet light. But
this oxidation isn’t happening on your skin surface, it’s also happening to every single organ of your body, including your brain, heart, blood vessels and reproductive organs. People who suddenly take on a yellow tone may have liver compromise from a drug they’re taking, or from alcohol use. If severe, it’s called jaundice and requires medical attention. Perhaps you think beauty is only skin deep, but as I’ve shown you, it clearly isn’t. It is a reflection of your body’s general physical health. Radiant youthful-looking skin, hair and nails are actually an inside job. Reducing your exposure to free radicals can help you obtain gorgeous skin, but of course you need to make sure that you eat right and drink enough water to nourish your body. You’ll also want to minimize the amount of synthetic chemicals (including prescriptions) that you take. There are only a handful of supplements that I recommend to help with cell protection, collagen formation and general good health. Among the best we have biotin, collagen (but only high quality), silica, hyaluronic acid and/or lipoic acid. What you’re going for is a healthy glow to your skin, which – at the end of day – translates to a healthy body. I have a more comprehensive version of this article available at my website. To receive it, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com to get it emailed.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Why Do Some People Overshare?
Dear Joel, I have a client who wanted to show me a photo on her iPhone. She couldn’t find it, but she treated me to about 1,000 other pictures while she searched. With each one I heard, “that’s my friend from bridge,” or “that was taken at a party,” or “here’s my neighbor wearing her new blouse” and so on. Do people really think it’s interesting to look at pictures of complete strangers? Why can’t they just say “sorry, I can’t find what I was looking for.” How can I escape this situation when it happens? TMI in Tuckerton
Dear TMI, That one took me back to many long nights I spent at friends’ homes as they clicked their way through tray after tray of vacation slides. A few times I even dozed off, so I know how hard it is to stay focused, especially when you don’t
k now any of the people or places. Nowadays I also think it is funny how many pictures people post on social media, many of which are repetitive or even compromising. It’s tough, but try to remember that the things she’s sharing are important to her, and that by sharing them with you, she is saying you’re important too. She is inviting you into her world. You might suggest she create photo albums, so that she can easily reference the shots she wants to share. You might thank her for trying so hard and offer her a coffee or a treat so that you can step away from the picture show. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Inside The Law Do I Need An Expungement?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Dina M. Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Some may look back over the years and regret certain events or situations that may have occurred involving law enforcement and the criminal legal system. If you wish that they could erase that event and begin anew with a clear criminal record, then you should look into the process of the Law of Expungement. This process is very helpful for people who are seeking to enter the military or beginning a new profession to seek to expunge a portion of their criminal history. An expungement is a legal process with the Court to remove criminal records on file with any court or law enforcement agency regarding a person’s history or record within the criminal justice system. If an expungement is granted for an offense, arrest, or conviction, one’s criminal history will indicate that the event never occurred. However, not everyone is eligible for an expungement and there are specific guidelines to follow according to N.J.S.A. 2C:52-1. In order to properly request an expungement, a person must file a Petition for Expungement with the Superior Court in the county where the underlying offense took place. Final determination of whether a person is entitled to the granting of an expungement must be made by a Superior Court Judge. There is specific information that you will have to provide in the Petition for Expungement, including the date of arrest, the offenses that you were charged with, the original warrant or summons, the date of final disposition and the specific sentence of punishment. Some of this information may need to be attained by contacting the Court or the New Jersey State Police. The Court will also require an Order for Hearing and Expungement Order to be pre-
pared and forwarded to the Court. The Petition must be submitted with Dina M. Vicari Esq. a cover letter to describe to the Court the contents for the filing and the exact filing fee must be included to have the matter listed before a Judge for consideration. Additionally, it is required that various governmental agencies are noticed of the Petition of Expungement and the date of hearing by certified mail, return receipt requested, including the Attorney General of New Jersey, New Jersey State Police, County Prosecutor, the Clerk of Municipal Court, Chief of Police, County Probation Department and the Division of Criminal Justice, Records and Identification Unit. Only upon the filing of Proof of Notice to these agencies will the Court schedule the hearing before the Judge. An appearance in Court may be required, especially if any agency files an objection to the Petition for Expungement. At the hearing, the Judge may ask additional questions to determine if the Petition should be granted. If an Expungement is granted, the Order must also be mailed via certified mail, return receipt requested, to the above governmental agencies to notify them of the conclusion of the matter. Although the expungement process is controlled by statute, the process can be confusing and must be followed exactly or the Court can dismiss your request. If you believe that you may be eligible and would benefit from an expungement, please contact our office, R.C. Shea & Associates, at 732-505-1212, to schedule an appointment.
Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 ● RCSHEA.COM

Public Hearing On Pinelands-Based Gas Pipeline
By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – The bleachers of Pine Belt Arena were filled recently with protesters and supporters of the Southern Reliability Link (SRL), a proposed 30-mile natural gas pipeline that would run through 12.1 miles of the Pinelands. New Jersey Natural Gas is proposing the pipeline in order to ensure quality of service for roughly 1 million customers. But the scheduled public hearing brought up many concerns – such as potential spills that could endanger water supply and wipe out native plants and animals. Representatives approached the microphone from various organizations spanning the state, including the New Jersey Sierra Club, Pinelands Preservation Alliance, Clean Water Action New Jersey, Green Party of New Jersey and ReThink Energy NJ. There were concerned residents, too, including Jacqueline Cardini and Dom Stockton-Rossini. Officials from the Pinelands Commission filled the dais. The Commission has previously said the pipeline is consistent with the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan – a set of regulations and standards that safeguard the area’s unique natural resources – although several speakers at the hearing questioned that throughout the morning. A common theme brought up by speakers at the hearing was how the public portion of the application was being handled, which some referred to as a “made up process” and “a sham.” Speakers were limited to only three minutes of public comment before a buzzer sounded,
signaling their time was up. Commenters who spoke over their allotted time were booed by audience members wearing SRL pins. Some of them also yelled, “time’s up!” Another frequent thread was that the pipeline would serve no real military purpose, despite officials from the Pinelands Commission citing that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst would be a primary beneficiary. Jeff Tittel from the New Jersey Sierra Club kicked things off around 10 a.m. as the day’s first speaker, reminding the dais, “You’re the Pinelands Commission – not the Pipeline Commission.” He cited concern for the 17 trillion gallons of drinking water at stake, as well as plant species found nowhere else around the world. Tittel said that there are plenty of other ways to get gas down the shore, and that the proposed pipeline is really about bringing more development to the shore area. The “excuse” about the Joint Base, he said, is “made up,” and just a way to rationalize building the pipeline. “The damage that you do will last for a very long time,” he said, adding that if it gets built, “We sued you once, we’ll have to go back to court again.” Carleton Montgomery represented the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, a private, nonprofit group devoted to preserving the Pinelands, sharing, “It won’t even help the base, it’s so badly designed for the scenario for which it’s supposed to be justified.” Janet Tauro, Board Chair of Clean Water Action New Jersey, spoke out strongly against the three-minute time restriction. “You hinder public participation when you limit this to three

minutes. It really is a sham. It prevents us from bringing in our experts and giving expert testimony.” She added that if officials really cared about the public’s concerns, they would have scheduled the hearing after hours when people could come after work. Tauro said Clean Water Action is opposed to the SRL pipeline. “The Joint Base would not even be able to tap into it without major infrastructure work that New Jersey Natural Gas has no intention of doing,” she added. She said the Pinelands are home to many threatened and endangered species, and that the pipeline poses a high risk to aquifers. She also directly questioned Commission Executive Director Nancy Wittenberg – “You say it is under your standards, and your standards are to preserve, protect and enhance the Pinelands and the Comprehensive Management Plan,” she asked. “A key element of the Comprehensive Management Plan, which also highlights the cornerstone of Clean Water Action, is water protection. The proposed pipeline would run through two superfund sites that require specific remediation by the EPA. And I can assure you that remediation does not include blasting and laying a 30-inch high pressure gas pipeline that can spread contaminants and threaten water supplies.” Tauro said the SRL is also not being welcomed by the communities it is affecting. “Neither has this pipeline being welcomed with open arms by host communities. It has formally been opposed through resolutions by seven townships, one city and a county.” Those townships, she said, include Plumsted and Upper Freehold. Heather Warburton from the Green Party of New Jersey told the dais she had a show for them to watch called “Views from the Pipeline.” She explained that it’s 15 to 20 images showcasing the beauty of the route that the proposed pipeline would take, “so you can see what’s really being put at stake here,” she said. In a stretch of creativity, Warburton used the
last minute and a half of her allotted three minutes to let the dais reflect on a simple question – “Why are you here, and what do you want to do?” During the moment of silence, protesters of the pipeline pushed their signs farther into the air and Warburton stared directly at officials on the dais, who seemed unfazed. Dom Stockton-Rossini is from Pemberton, but was also representing his parents, residents of Long Beach Island. He quoted the figure of $9.2 million dollars, the estimated net profit New Jersey Natural Gas would make from the pipeline, according to a 2016 report on the Southern Reliability Link. “$9.2 million dollars in corporate profits and the unnecessary risk on our properties, our environment and the future of our state,” he said. “It’s not a question of if there will be spills, it is when. Spills will happen and our environment will be threatened.” A former New Jersey Natural Gas employee surprisingly spoke, sharing “8 fatal flaws” of the SRL application, which all centered around the pipeline serving no genuine military purpose. “The pipeline will not directly deliver any dedicated gas to the base itself,” he said. Toms River resident Jacqueline Cardini said she was representing babies, which took the audience some time to register, until she began to tell her story. Her sister Jessica contracted leukemia during the Toms River cancer cluster; her mother one of the major organizers of Ocean of Love, a nonprofit that helps Ocean County children with cancer. Although her sister survived, she described the horrific experience of witnessing many children in the same situation who did not. “For those of you who want to tell me this is clean energy simply on the basis that it’s cleaner than coal, I tempt you to sit in your car while it’s running with the garage door closed,” she said. Public comment was closed on August 2. It is now up to the Pinelands Commission to review the comments received and make a decision to approve or deny the application from New Jersey Natural Gas.

TRAVEL TIPS
There are several ways to keep your feet comfortable while on vacation. Remember that long periods of immobilization can inhibit blood flow and increase joint pain and stiffness. Walk a few steps every hour. If movement is impossible in a confined space, simply flex as many joints and muscles as possible while remaining seated. Podiatrists agree that rubbersoled walking shoes are best for travel and sightseeing. These shoes help prevent falling and skidding accidents while providing excellent shock absorption for lower back and limbs. Be sure to wear any prescribed insoles if you have foot deformities or anatomical misalignment. Stretching limbs and wearing appropriate shoes can enhance your travel comfort and safety. Your vacation will be spoiled if you suffer from painful or infected feet while traveling. In many places, it can be hard to find larger sized shoes that fit, so make sure you buy the perfect pair of travel shoes before you hit the road. Remember to wear your shoes for at least three days before you travel to check for any problems that might come up. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER at (732) 370-1100 or see us at 4527 US Highway 9. HINT: Wearing socks made from special fabrics that wick away perspiration wetness from the feet can help keep feet cooler and more comfortable.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of august 19 - august 25 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be cautious that your warmth and enthusiasm does not inadvertently lead someone on. Take the easiest path where your money is concerned in the week ahead. Don’t append too much or spend too little. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be a great advisor and mentor in the week to come. You may receive extra social invitations. Your certain someone may be caught up in a wild goose chase that could prove costly, but your wisdom can prevent a loss. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fly straight as an arrow. There is no financial opportunity or risk that is worth losing your good name. Refuse to sign documents that you haven’t read this week and anything you have read but don’t understand. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Like Humpty Dumpty even the mighty can fall. Follow ethical behavior in the week to come when financial matters are in question. If you try to please someone else you may be secretly influenced by their maneuverings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the bit between your teeth. You may have plenty of determination and stamina to make your projects a success. Passing disagreements may only spur you to more ambitious accomplishments in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be discriminative. When faced with a choice between two evils in the week ahead make the most morally acceptable choice. Your loved ones or friends might not agree because they cannot see the fine line you walk.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t voice your suspicions in the week ahead, but adopt a wait and see attitude. Unconditional love delivered in daily doses can even melt a heart made of stone. Your gentle ways can move mountains, even in the workplace. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Soul mates seem to be on the same wavelength. Business contacts, however, may be tuned to a different station. As this week unfolds focus on family, hobbies and home based activities for the very best success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen to the boss who dictates your daily chores rather than following the dictates of your heart. A certain someone may think your friendship holds more promise for intimacy than you intend in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Aesop’s turtle knew that slow and steady wins the race. Caution and dedication to duty will pay off during the week ahead. If you are thrifty about the pennies, the dollars will begin to roll in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Toe the mark. Those in authority may expect perfection as this week unfurls. You have plenty of enthusiasm and eagerness to get something accomplished, but might feel that your efforts are restrained by necessity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you can’t escape the truth sit back and enjoy it. Somewhere deep inside you might feel you do not deserve the rewards or opportunities you receive as this week unfolds. Be grateful that someone recognizes your worth.

qualified fosters and adopters for dogs of all breeds.

They are instrumental in helping our rescue grow and all amounts are welcome. We encourage you to help save a life by fostering or adopting a dog in need.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Building Blocks: A ‘High-Rise’ Approach To A Summertime Favorite By Wolfgang Puck
As I often like to say, we eat with our eyes fi rst. Food that looks beautiful without being too fussy starts your mouth watering in anticipation. And, by contrast, if good ingredients have been well prepared only to be presented in a way that looks unexciting, you may get less pleasure from the whole experience. That explains why I’ve been taking a different approach to a summertime seasonal classic: the tomato, mozzarella and basil salad, also known in Italy as the Caprese, after the island of Capri, or the Tricolore, because its red, white and green colors mimic those of the Italian flag. Most often, the salad’s three main ingredients are simply arranged overlapping each other on a plate or platter, with a vinaigrette dressing drizzled over them. That’s certainly how you’ll probably see it on most antipasto displays in Italian restaurants or when you order an individual one off the menu. Even though sun-ripened tomatoes are wonderfully flavorful in August, and go so well with the rich-tasting fresh mozzarella you can find so easily in well-stocked supermarkets today, such a presentation doesn’t do much anymore to get people excited about this wonderful seasonal specialty. And that’s a shame. So I’d like to share the simple solution my chefs and I like to use in our restaurants: We go vertical instead of horizontal. In other words, we’ve taken to stacking the ingredients, alternating slices of tomato with equally sized slices of the cheese and individual basil leaves. The result instantly catches the eye, making people see this now familiar combination in a fresh new light. Though that may sound like architectural or engineering skills are called for in creating such a presentation, it’s surprisingly easy. Just make sure when you’re shopping that you buy ripe yet firm tomatoes that are approximately the same diameter as the balls of fresh mozzarella you’ll be using. (Head for the market’s cheese department first so you’ll have the package of mozzarella in your cart to serve as a guide.) With a similar sensibility, I’ve simplified the dressing for the salad as well. Instead of making a vinaigrette, I first sprinkle each slice of tomato individually with a little salt and pepper, to make sure that every bite taken is properly seasoned. Then I drizzle each stack with good-quality balsamic vinegar that I’ve first reduced to a syrupy consistency to concentrate its sweet-tart flavor; I also add a drizzle of good, fruity-tasting extra-virgin olive oil.
The result is an appetizer that will make everyone at your table feel as if they’re seeing and tasting this combination for the first time. What a perfect way to showcase some of summer’s finest produce. STAC K E D TOM ATO -A N D MOZ Z A R EL L A SA L A D W I T H FR ESH BASIL , BA LSA MIC REDUCTION AND EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL Serves 4 1 cup (250 mL) good-quality balsamic vinegar 4 medium-to-large sun-ripened organic tomatoes 8 ounces (250 g) fresh mozzarella 12 leaves fresh basil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Several hours before serving, prepare the balsamic reduction. Put the vinegar in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer until its volume reduces by a third to a half. Set aside to cool to room temperature; transfer to a covered glass container and refrigerate until ready to use. For the salad, use the tip of a small, sharp knife to core the tomatoes. Trim and discard a thin slice from the bottom of each tomato before cutting each one horizontally into slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Drain the mozzarella, patting it dry with paper towels, and cut crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. Stack the basil leaves and, starting at the side of the stack, roll them up tightly into a tube shape. Cut the roll crosswise into thin slices, separating them with your fingertips into julienne strips. To assemble the salads on a platter or individual serving plates, alternate the slices from each tomato with slices of the mozzarella, stacking the tomato slices in the order you cut them starting with the trimmed slice from the bottom, and sprinkling each tomato slice with a little salt and pepper before placing the mozzarella on it. End each stack with a tomato slice, sprinkling it with salt, pepper and basil julienne. Just before serving, drizzle each stack with about 1 teaspoon of the balsamic reduction. (Reserve the remainder in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several months.) Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over each stack; serve immediately.
