Families Fall In For Jackson Day

By Kim Bosco JACKSON – If you were looking for a fun, family-oriented, community event this weekend, you might have found yourself at the annual Jackson Harvest Festival in John F. Johnson Jr. Memorial Park. Held on Oct. 28 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Jackson Day festivities were brimming with laughter and music as children and parents alike paraded around in their Halloween costumes or painted pumpkins in the children’s event tent. Beautiful, sunny weather and a warm fall afternoon made this festival even more enjoyable as families and local organizations mingled in the sunshine. “Even though Jackson is the third - Photos by Kim Bosco largest town in New Jersey, it still Top: Homemade fall crafts for sale created by one of Jackson’s has a small-town atmosphere,” said local vendors.

Study: Jackson Is 2nd Safest NJ Town

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – When councilman Barry Calogero learned Jackson Township was considered to be the second safest township in the state he was thrilled but not surprised. “We have a police department second to none. They are dedicated professionals and I am 100 percent supportive of and proud of them,” he said. Calogero is referring to a study based on various statistics conducted by radio station 94.3 FM The Point, an affiliate of Town Square Media’s 101.5 FM which has Jackson listed as the second safest community in the state. The first is Middletown. The study involved 36 similar communities that have populations of at least 50,000. Collectively last year, they accounted for about 70 percent of the state’s homicides and robberies and about half of all burglaries according to the report.

Groups’ Amended Jackson Lawsuit Now Includes Eruvin

By Jennifer Peacock and Bob Vosseller JACKSON – First it was dormitories. Now it’s eruvin, according to an amended lawsuit filed by a New York-based Orthodox Jewish advocacy group and New Jersey-based school-building company against Jackson Township. The Lakewood Scoop reported that Agudath Israel of America and WR Property LLC filed an amended lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in New Jersey. The civil action against the township sprouts from two ordinances, one which bans schools from residential zones, and dormitories in the entire town, and another which the suit describes as the “eruv ordinance,” which states “[no] person shall encumber or obstruct any street or public place with any article or thing whatsoever.” The ordinance amended Chapter 372 of the municipal code, which had previously allowed for encumbrances or obstructions with written permission “from the Township Committee.” (Lawsuit - See Page 5)

Zoning Board Loses Third Member In One Month

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Zoning issues dominated a short general session of the council on Oct. 25 that saw the resignation of a zoning member and the introduction of two ordinances involving affordable housing regulations. Larry Schuster, 49, was to have served as an alternate member of the zoning board. He would have taken the spot of Alexander Sauickie who moved up to replace Anthony Marano. Marano was removed by the council in early October. Schuster resigned during the Oct. 25 meeting stating family and time constraints were the primary reasons but

his remarks also included a response to those who had suggested he was involved in efforts to make zoning polices against the Orthodox Jewish population of the township. “Things were taken out of context. At no time did we attack the Jewish community,” Schuster said during the meeting. “I will walk out of this meeting with my head held high. At no time was I being anti-Semitic. I will return to the audience and kiss my Jewish wife,” Schuster said. Several social media posts authored by (Zoning - See Page 2)

Continued From Page 1 The statistics used to formulate that view include that Jackson has a population of 56,563 and that there were 0.3 violent crimes per 1,000. There was one homicide, no incidents of rape, four robberies, eight aggravated assaults, 89 burglaries and 16 car thefts. “This is excellent news,” Mayor Mike Reina said. “Jackson is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. That is why I moved here 30 years ago.” “This news was a nice shot in the arm for the town. People come here to make the best for their families,” Reina said. “Both the mayor and council have for the past four years ensured we appropriate budgetary funds towards increasing the rank and file each and every year,” Calogero said. He added that it was important for members of

Zoning:

Continued From Page 1 Schuster came to light following his resignation. Those posts involved sharp criticism toward the Orthodox Jewish community in Lakewood and Jackson townships. The social media posts were forwarded to council members and news organizations. Schuster has denied that he resigned from the board due to the content of those posts. This marked the third loss of a zoning member in one month. Council members unanimously voted to ap-

the police department to “have the proper tools to do their job.” “This news, on top of the spectacular efforts of our Little League during the world series this past summer is a testament that Jackson Township is a beautiful, safe community to live and to raise a family in,” Calogero said. “I believe the credit has to be given to the line personnel of the agency,” Jackson Police Department Public Information Officer Captain Steven Laskiewicz said. “The patrol officers, detectives and dispatchers deserve thanks for their hard work and dedication to the residents of the township and also to the first line supervisors for their guidance and oversight of their personnel.” Laskiewicz added that the department’s officers “take on a huge workload every day and do it professionally, and I, as well as Chief (Matthew) Kunz appreciate their commitment. Everyone does an outstanding job for an agency which covers 100 square miles and which could easily

benefit from increased staffing over our current numbers.” “Keep in mind though that this is based on (uniformed crime report) rates which only take nine very specific factors into consideration. It does not account for the many other crimes, offenses or types of incidents that our officers respond to and that keep the department busy, which as of this date has over 78,000 incidents/calls for service logged,” Laskiewicz said. Monmouth and Ocean counties faired fairly well in the study. The station noted that these results come from municipalities with populations of 50,000 or more. Results are also based on the rate of violent crimes and not the number of crimes. Camden was ranked as the least safe town in New Jersey, a reputation which the community has had for years in similar comparative studies. Middletown is the safest town in the Garden State according to the report and has a population of 65,919, there were 0.3 violent crimes per 1,000.

That town’s breakdown includes no homicides, three reported cases of rape, four robberies, 10 aggravated assaults, 62 burglaries and 10 car thefts. The report has the neighboring community of Lakewood ranked at 16. Lakewood’s statistics include a population of 100,269, with 1.7 violent crimes per 1,000 with two homicides, 12 cases of rape, 61 robberies and 94 aggravated assaults. It also includes 193 burglaries and 38 car thefts. Toms River did better by half and was ranked at No. 8. The township’s population tips at 90,504, with 0.7 violent crimes per 1,000, including one homicide, two cases of rape, 31 robberies, 33 aggravated assaults, 254 burglaries and 36 car thefts. Looking toward Jackson’s future, Laskiewicz said “the township has been working to be more proactive to address issues and plan for future growth which is coming with the large Jackson 21 projects as well as several others which are being planned in other parts of town.”

prove a resolution removing Anthony Marano, 29, who had been appointed in August, as a member of the zoning board during an Oct. 10 meeting. Marano faces assault and child pornography charges and remains lodged in the Ocean County Jail pending a first appearance hearing according to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. The Zoning Board accepted the resignation of Peter Kitay, 56, owner of County Line Construction, on Oct. 4. Kitay had been appointed to the board on Jan. 4. His seat was filled by Scott Najarian whose term on the board will end on June 30, 2019.

During the Oct. 10 council meeting councilman Scott Martin supported Schuster and Najarian describing both as caring about the well-being of the township. Martin also supported the idea of a background check for future applicants. Councilman Barry Calogero suggested asking applicants if they ever had been convicted of a crime, previously filed for bankruptcy, if they have any municipal funds or judgments currently pending. He also recommended that future zoning board applicants should be asked if they had any conflicts of interest that would prevent them from voting impartially on an application. In related news, an ordinance authorizing the

dedication of a right-of-way to Ocean County for the purposes of a road and drainage facility construction/maintenance along a portion of Route 527 was approved by council during its second reading. Two ordinances entitled “Land Use and Development Regulations” were introduced and involve low-cost housing and COAH regulations. Calogero was among the council members who voted against both ordinances and said that he and his fellow council members would explain more fully why they had voted in the negative during the next council session when the ordinances come up for a second reading.

Lawsuit:

Continued From Page 1 The new ordinance language was adopted in September by the Jackson Township Council. Reporters from The Jackson Times attempted to contact Reina, his administrator Helene Schlegel, council president Kenneth Bressi and attorney Jean Cipriani for comment on the amended lawsuit for this article. No one responded by press time. A letter dated Aug. 8, 2017 from the Jackson Eruv Association to the council, signed by association president Mordechai Burnstein, alerted the township of its plans to work with utility companies to affix eruvin to poles and other utility-owned areas. “To be clear, we are not asking the Jackson Township for permission to put an Eruv on the utility poles that are in the jurisdiction of the utility company. Rather we are requesting that the township allow us to work in conjunction with the utility companies and rent the right from them directly for our needs, and to confirm that the township will have no objection with this most practical arrangement,” the letter stated. On the Jewish sabbath, Shabbat, prohibits activities that are considered work, or the mundane. Of the activities forbidden by the Law, carrying items outside the home in public is one. This includes carrying keys, walkers or strollers, prayer books, and even children who are not able to walk on their own, according to myjewishlearning.com. The Talmud, the collection of rabbinic teachings in both the Mishnah and the Gemara, allows for a way to carry items without breaking the Law: enter the eruv. Eruvin are thin wooden or plastic strips most commonly attached to utility poles. The Jackson Eruv Association said in its letter it would work with utility companies to ensure those companies’ safety and aesthetic standards. The association told The Jackson Times it is considering filing its own lawsuit against the township. It released a brief statement Oct. 31 to the newspaper. “The Jackson Eruv Association calls upon Jackson Township to respond to our repeated requests to meet with them to reach a mutually acceptable solution that protects the rights of all Jackson residents. We applaud Agudath Israel of America for standing up for the rights of Orthodox Jews by challenging the ordinance that limits our ability to build Eruvs. Time and again, state and federal courts have determined that actions similar to those taken by Jackson Township violate constitutionally protected religious freedom rights. We implore our hometown to reconsider and find an amicable way to keep our protected freedoms intact in a way that will have virtually no impact on its non-Eruv using residents.” Agudath’s amended lawsuit contends these ordinances are “the latest action taken by the township in a long campaign to erect a wall on its border with Lakewood Township, where many Orthodox Jews live, in order to discourage them from moving into Jackson.” The ordinances discriminate against the Orthodox Jewish community based on their religious practices, it said. Specific to WR Properties, described only as a “domestic limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey in 2014” in the document, the company owns acreage on White Road in Jackson, property owned R-3. Under Jackson’s law now, the company cannot build an Orthodox Jewish school

The Jackson Times, November 4, 2017, Page 5 on that property. “We made serious efforts to communicate with the Township Council and even after bringing 300 people to the last township meeting to show how important this is to us, they continue to ignore our respectful ask,” Rabbie Avi Schnall of Agudath Israel told The Lakewood Scoop regarding eruvin in an article published Oct. 31. “At this point, we reluctantly concluded that our only recourse would be in a court of law.” Although Reina could not be reached for comment, he addressed the ordinance governing roadway obstructions in September. He said then that he disagreed with statements made by residents that the ordinance in question was very rarely used. “The ordinance dates back to 1964, approximately 50 plus years on the books. Over the years code enforcement would issue an NOV (notice of violation).” The mayor also said that in the last year “there has been a cry to increase code enforcement from our residents, new and old, as well as direction from the Council itself. That being said, complaints were coming in for items in the right of way with examples such as hockey and soccer nets, basketball hoops, skateboard ramps, furniture, tires, brush and grass not being cut.” The mayor said while his office does not write laws “as we are in this form of government the Administrative branch, Council is the legislative branch and they are the ones who adopt new or amend existing ordinances (laws).” Reina added that his office has not requested any changes to any of those laws. “However, we are legally obligated to make sure that laws currently on the books are enforced equally and fairly. “My main goal and objective is to maintain everyone’s safety and quality of life first. So, there is absolutely no truth in saying that we are requesting that the ordinances already on the books be changed or amended to suit ones needs and not the other. For anyone to say that we did undermines the integrity of my office and that will be defended to the end,” Reina said in September. A large turnout of Orthodox Jewish community residents living in the township came out to a Sept. 12 council meeting to object to the ordinance. The ordinance had been introduced on Aug. 22 just weeks after the Jackson Eruv Assocation presented a plan to erect the eruv. Mayor Mike Reina has stated that the vote amending the ordinance was not a passage of a new policy but a move by the Council to change the wording from “Committee to Council” to reflect the change in government and to remove the language of an appeal. That ordinance amended the township code entitled “Streets and Sidewalks.” The ordinance, which was unanimously passed, prevents a variance that would allow for the creation of an “eruv” which can be made of string and tubing and is used in regard to the orthodox Jewish observance of the Shabbat, the Saturday holy day. Resident Chava Lowy, spoke against the ordinance during the Sept. 12 meeting. He explained the need for young parents in particular to have the eruv in place to allow for carrying items such as inhalers that would serve to benefit their children. “This (eruv) is not a loophole of law but how it allows us to carry certain things that are important.” Lowy said 22 towns ranging from Cherry Hill to Fair Lawn permit areas to be used which allow for placement of the eruv. “I call for you to recognize your 2,000 Orthodox Jewish constituents in your community.”

Smith Chairs Capitol Hill Briefing On International Child Abduction WASHINGTON--- The U.S. must enforce the Goldman Act and make sure that countries are abiding by international agreements against parental child abduction, Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) said at a briefing on the matter by the Helsinki Commission. “Simply put: child abduction is child abuse. Children abducted by one parent overseas and kept away from the other are at grave risk of serious emotional and psychological problems,” Smith said at the briefi ng. “Every day the abduction continues only compounds the harm to a child. And, the left-behind parent is usually emotionally and fi nancially devastated by prolonged litigation in a foreign jurisdiction.” Here are Rep. Smith’s full remarks. Smith co-chairs the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, or the Helsinki Commission. He led a panel on Friday featuring the survivor of a parental child abduction, as

well as current and former left-behind parents who saw their children taken from them without their consent, and without court permission. One witness, who was abducted to Greece by his father when he was 10 years old, gave a moving testimony of his experience. “I was gone for almost two years, but those two years didn’t have to be,” said Leo Zagaris, now almost 17 years old. “Maybe if the courts moved faster, I could have been home in a matter of weeks,” he said. The U.S. State Department estimates that 700 to 1,000 children are abducted in the U.S. to another country every year by one of their parents, without the consent of the other parent or the permission of the court. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international agreement against child abduction. It has been adopted by 98 countries, including 51 of 57 OSCE participating

states. Although it established a legal structure for the safe return of children abducted by one parent out of their home country, the convention does not have a strict “enforcement mechanism” for countries that do not abide by it, Smith said. Abduction cases can take years to settle in court even though the convention requires a six week-maximum on court decisions. And many court decisions in favor of the left-behind parent are not enforced by certain countries. “For many families, the Convention has been a huge disappointment,” Smith said. Smith’s bill, the Sean and David Goldman International Child Abduction Prevention and Return Act, set up actions that the State Department can take to ensure the safe return of children unlawfully abducted by one of their parents to another country. The actions range in severity from official protests to criminal extradition. Congress passed the bill and it was signed into law. “Taking parents take be-

cause they feel they can get away with it,” said Alissa Zagaris, an advocate and mother of Leo Zagaris. “Most central authorities take a very passive approach to these matters,” she said, but in reality “they have a strong, not a passive, pa-

per-pushing role to play.” “Criminal charges work, and they can be an effective tool in negotiating return,” she said. Although the previous administration did not utilize the actions provided by the law, “we are hopeful that

the new Administration will apply the Goldman Act as intended to bring home abducted American children,” Smith said. Smith has chaired 13 hearings and briefi ngs on international child abduction since 2009.

Fall:

Continued From Page 1 Helene Schlegel, the business administrator of Jackson Township and an organizer for the event. “The Harvest Festival is a day bringing neighbors together and a free day for the kids.” From the commencement of the day’s events, the centerpiece of the festival was the vendor tents–comprising 106 local vendors, businesses, schools, and community members–these stalls served up an incredible variety. From homemade fall crafts for sale made by Jackson community members to fundraising with local non-profit organizations, the Harvest Festival provided a fun and fantastic range of activities for everyone. At these vendor tents you could find Gloria and Diana and their handmade crafts; first time vendors at this event, yet long-time attendees. A little farther down you could stumble across the Jackson Memorial High School Dance Team performing a choreographed routine for everyone. Cornerstone Presbyterian Church also came out for the event to help foster hurricane relief. The festival even drew people in from beyond the Jackson community, like Jill Petterson. “I don’t even live in Jackson, this is my first time here” said Petterson, “It’s really great.” Over the course of the day, local bands serenaded the crowds on the Jackson Township stage, where people danced and sang along to well-known tunes. From the Sensational Soul Cruisers, the 11-man horn group playing classic soulful hits, to the American doo wop group, The Capri’s, music

OHI Is Oﬀering Flu Shots At All Of Its Health Centers

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean Health Initiatives (OHI), a federally qualified health center in Ocean County, is offering flu shots for 20172018 through appointments at all six of its health centers. Schedule flu shot appointments by calling 732-363-6655 or at ohinj.org. OHI accepts and will work with most insurances. For adult patients without insurance, the regular flu shot costs $20 dollars and the high dose for seniors costs $30. Through the program Vaccines for Children (VFC), a federally funded program, children without insurance, who are self-pay patients, or who are recipients of Medicaid Plan A can receive a flu shot at no cost. OHI health centers offer preservative free, latex free, and egg-free vaccinations. The flu shot usually takes two weeks to take effect, so getting a flu shot now will protect people when the flu reaches the height of its season and help stop the spread of the flu virus. Dr. Gilbert Fleischer, Chief Medical Officer of OHI, reminds everyone that influenza is a serious disease that can affect everyone at any age and can lead to major health issues, such as hospitalizations and even death. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends everyone six months or older get a flu shot before the end of November. Additionally, everyone should consider getting the flu vaccine, especially the elderly, and those with chronic lung or heart disease. For questions about the flu shot program, contact Kyle Fannan, marketing development associate, at 732-719-1570.

The Jackson Times, November 4, 2017, Page 9 filled the air from the beginning of the festival to the end. In between live acts, DJ’s filled the gaps with music hits for the kids to run and jump to. Beginning at one in the afternoon, you could find families flocking to the blow-up bouncing slides or festival rides near the children’s event tent for a little more fun. The day began with a pumpkin painting session in the event tent with Let’s Bloom Together, an organization that aims to educate children about the Earth and environment in a fun and exciting way. Children could stick around for

a silly, costumed concert by children’s performing artist Yosi or be entranced by a little magic show by Anthony Salazar Magic. With a Halloween bouncer, a 70-foot obstacle course, swings and a carousel, this festival had an endless array of activities for kids of all ages. In the midst of all of this excitement, the food trucks attracted everyone with the scents of delicious desserts and savory snacks. Serving a wide range of food such as pierogis, shaved ice, and fresh lemonade, the food trucks lined the

edge of the park from the children’s area to the performance stage so that everyone could enjoy some treats no matter where they were. The festival was held in the summer last year and the change in date from summer to fall brought with it much nicer weather, noted Schlegel. “We have a gorgeous day and we’re ending it with fireworks tonight,” said Schlegel. “It continues to be a bringing the community together event.”

LAKEWOOD – They are wonderful when they are on the trees, but a problem when they are not. The Lakewood Department of Public Works will help pick up all those fallen leaves but there are some rules and regulations dictated by the Northern Ocean County Recycling Center that Lakewood Township has to follow.

Lakewood Leaf Pick Up

Residents should not call for leaf pickup. Leaves should not be bagged. Do not put leaf piles near bulk pickup items. As a safety precaution, residents should rake the leaves in a neat pile away from storm drains and curb corners. Residents must divide their pickup into three separate categories: leaves, brush,

logs. Separate trucks pick up different items. Be sure no branches are attached to those leaves. Brush is another term for branches. To get rid of brush, cut the branches into four-foot lengths and place them separate from the leaves. Branches that are larger than four feet in length and/

or four inches in diameter are considered logs. The township does not and cannot pick up logs. Leaf season officially ends December 29. All of Lakewood is divided into two leaf pickup zones with Route 9 as the dividing line. Zone 1 for leaf pickup is the west of Route 9 from the Howell border to Route 70. Zone 2 for leaf pickup is east of Route 9 from Route 70 to the Howell border. Leaf pickup began on the west side of Route 9 on Oct. 30 through Nov. 12; and again Nov. 27 through Dec. 10. Leaf pickup on the east side of Route 9 runs from Nov. 13 through Nov. 25; and Dec. 11 through Dec. 23. For more information, call the Department of Public works at 732-905-3405.

Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus Hosts Flavors Of The Jersey Shore LAKEWOOD – Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus hosted more than 300 people at their annual Flavors of the Jersey Shore Food and Wine Tasting event on Oct. 19 at the Pine Belt Chevrolet Showroom in Lakewood. This event serves as a fundraising opportunity for cancer services at MMCSC and highlights Breast Cancer Awareness month. Food, wine, and spirits were available from over 35 vendors including Avenue Restaurant, Charlies of Bay Head, Harpoon Willy’s, Porta, Prime 13, and Yussi’s Deli and back by popular demand this year was the Vodka Lounge that served samplings from Tito’s and Broken Shed Vodka. Throughout the night, guests tried their luck on a 50/50 raffle, silent auction and wine jail while listening to tunes from the Mike Dalton Band. The 50/50 winner was a Cancer Support Community volunteer who won over $4,000 while the silent auction winners went home with jewelry, Broadway show tickets, restaurant gift cards and more. In addition, the wine jail held 50 bottles of wine hostage until they were freed with a $20 donation. Guests chose a bottle at random by placing their name on it and at the end of the night they uncovered which bottle they were bringing home. While some bottles were only worth $15, there were several worth more than $200 including a $328 bottle of 1986 Chateau Angelus. “This is one of my favorite events of the year,” said Denice Gaffney, Vice President of Development, Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus Foundation. “Our guests are really able to have fun, relax, and enjoy each other’s company all while supporting a great cause. There is an imperative need to support cancer services in our community and I think this event gives our community members that opportunity.” For more information on upcoming events, call the Foundation at 732-886-4438.

Healthy Hearing With Folic Acid

In a world where the word “healthy” is tossed around like a salad, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by information about your well-being. To make things simpler for you, we’ve served up some easy-to-digest facts about diet and hearing health. Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss, which is the varying inability to perceive high-pitched sounds and consonants. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Folic acid is also useful in preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Older adults need 400 micrograms of folic

acid every day for good health. It is easy to increase your daily intake of the nutrient by eating more of foods like beans, citrus fruits, enriched grains, and dark leafy vegetables. To make it easier, in January 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring manufacturers to add folic acid to food that is labeled as “enriched.” Increasing your intake can be as simple as rolling out of bed and grabbing a quick breakfast. Just a cup of enriched breakfast cereal with one cup of 1 percent milk, plus three-quarters of a cup of OJ on the side, will put you at 32 percent of your daily requirement of folic acid in one meal. Talk about starting your day off right! Folic acid-rich foods like spinach, avocado, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe are hearing helpful foods.

How Watercress Slows Down Cancer Growth

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so today I’d like to share with you some little-known facts about one vegetable and its impact on breast health. It’s watercress and even though most doctors will argue that the more chemotherapeutic drugs (anti-cancer drugs), the better, I still feel strongly that we can make dietary changes that improve outcomes, whether or not you take chemo. They may poo-poo this thinking, but I still feel that eating specific foods can have a positive impact on your outcomes. Research is clear and shows that a great deal of people give up on chemotherapy and fail to adhere to conventional medical treatments. Many stop altogether or they begin to integrate various holistic remedies and dietary changes, which makes me think of watercress. Watercress belongs to the cruciferous vegetables, same as broccoli and cauliflower, but it’s not as popular as those. Still, I want to give it some love and attention today because it has some powerful tumor-fighting compounds in it. Plus, we already know from empirical evidence that 30 to 40 percent of all cancers somehow benefit or respond from proper nutrition. Researchers have investigated how watercress can be beneficial in breast cancer and other cancers. In a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition a group of breast cancer survivors went through a phase of fasting, before consuming a bowlful of watercress about the size of a cereal bowl (approximately 80 grams of watercress).

They took some blood samples from the women, at intervals over the next 24 hours. Their blood evaluations found rather significant levels of a plant compound called phenylethyl isothiocyanate, or PEITC for short. This PEITC starves the cancer cells. This PEITC inhibits a protein called HIF (Hypoxia Inducible Factor) which is responsible for signaling normal tissue around the tumor to send oxygen and nutrients to the tumor cells. HIF is not playing nice, it’s making your own cells boost cancer growth. Am I saying watercress cures cancer? Of course not, but eating certain foods like watercress can’t hurt you, it can only help you, and more than anything, it puts you in a pro-active position which is empowering. Let’s face it, hearing the word “cancer” is heart-stopping. Having something you can do that is so simple is crucial. The researchers in the study actually validated the effects of the watercress compound PEITC, they weren’t guessing. They physically measured blood levels of that HIF in their bloodstream and saw it declining progressively after eating watercress. That is just so amazing! Another study back in 2004, evaluated how PEITC impacts the speed at which cancer cells grow (termed proliferation) and tumorigenesis (the formation of tumors). The scientists were able to confirm that watercress inhibits cancer cell growth and not only that it makes cancer cells commit suicide, a process called apoptosis. It means the party is over for the cancer cells.

Jackson Police Warn Residents About New Phone Scam JACKSON – The Jackson Police Department, through information obtained by the FBI’s Philadelphia Division and the U.S. Marshals Service NJ District, would like to warn the public about a phone scam targeting New Jersey residents. Generally speaking, the scam involves the impersonation of law enforcement or court officials to fraudulently obtain “fines” for missed jury duty. More specifically, the purported employees of the U.S. Marshals and County Sheriff Departments are calling citizens claiming that the answering party failed to appear for federal or

local jury duty. The caller then tells the recipient of the call that a warrant has been issued for their arrest, and the individual must pay a fine and report to the court. The citizen is later requested to purchase a prepaid debit card, and provide the card information to the caller prior to reporting to court and discovering the fraud. Please contact the Jackson Police Department at 732-928-1111 if you have any questions regarding this or any other phone or online scams. Further, victims of phone or online scams can file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.

Inside The Law I’ve Been Involved In A Motor Vehicle Accident… Do I Need An Attorney?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

We all know that accidents happen. However, people often question whether they need the assistance of counsel as a result. The safe answer is to always consult with an attorney to be certain that your rights are best protected. If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may have the ability to file suit against the person or persons at fault. This, however, is dependent on several factors. First, and most importantly, you should concentrate on receiving necessary medical treatment. This may mean a trip to the hospital or your primary care physician to determine whether further care is necessary. The next topic to be considered is whether you will need legal assistance. Being involved in an accident can be very stressful, as well as painful for those involved. To ease the stress, seeking a competent attorney to stand by you is a smart decision. It is important to do this early, in the event that further investigation is necessary. Often attorneys will send an investigator to the scene to photograph the surrounding area and report any inconsistencies that may exist with the police report. Furthermore, when you are injured in New Jersey, your medical benefits are paid through your own personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. This is part of your car insurance and can be identified through review of your policy. However, most PIP insurance requires pre-certification for any treatment afforded. Physician’s offices are equipped to request pre-certification, but as we all know, situations such as these may not always go smoothly for the injured party. An attorney, once retained, can assist you with any difficulty you may have with receiving necessary

treatment. When seeking the advice of counsel it is important to bring all documents with you that involve your accident. This includes the accident report (if available), any medical documentation, as well as the declaration page regarding your car insurance in place at the time of the accident. This will help the attorney to advise you as the benefits that can be afforded to you, as well as whether you will be permitted to file suit for any compensatory damages as a result of the accident. When involved in an accident, there is no charge to you to seek the advice of counsel. This type of matter is handled on a contingency basis. That means that the attorney is only awarded a fee, should you recover a financial benefit as a result of the representation. In the event that you are at fault, or receive a citation as a result of the accident, the role of the attorney does change. In fact, if someone is injured as a result of your negligence in operation your motor vehicle, generally your insurance will provide a legal defense for the personal injury action on your behalf. However, if a summons is issued, it is beneficial to you to seek the advice of counsel, as this will not be defended by your carrier. Contrary to a personal injury case, this is generally not handled on a contingent basis. As you can see, there are many reasons to seek the advice of counsel after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. The best action to take is to consult with an attorney and discuss the options and benefits that you may have.

Young Eagles Flight Rally & Aviation Day

LAKEWOOD – Almost one hundred young people went for a ride in an airplane on Oct. 22 as part of Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 315’s Young Eagles Flight Rally & Aviation Day at Lakewood Airport. It was a beautiful afternoon for flying. Eight pilots donated their time and the use of their airplanes. The New Jersey Aviation Education Council had displays and simulators in the hangar, and the Civil Air Patrol had a plane on display. This was the largest turnout Chapter 315 has ever had for a Young Eagles Flight Rally. More young people were interested in going for a ride than were able to get in the air that day. Plans are being made to give those young people a ride in an airplane, too. The EAA Young Eagles Program was created in 1992 to interest young people in aviation. This is the 25th anniversary of the program. Since then volunteer EAA pilots have flown more than 2 million

young people who reside in more than 90 countries. Since 2004 Chapter 315 has flown more than 500 young people at local airports: Monmouth, Lakewood, and Old Bridge. Following the flight, each young person received a logbook and a certificate making them an official Young Eagle. Their names will now be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Logbook is also accessible on the Internet youngeagles.org. Additional information about EAA and the EAA Young Eagles program is available on the Internet. A calendar of upcoming events can be found on the EAA’s Home Page at eaa.org. The Young Eagles web page is www.youngeagles.org or visit the local chapter page at facebook.com/ EAAChapter315.

Program Helps Low Income Ocean County Residents With Home Repairs OCEAN COUNTY – A unique assistance program called “Hands For All” serves the community by making critically needed emergency repairs on homes owned by low and moderate income families who can’t afford to get the work done by themselves. Leaking roofs, plumbing issues, no heat and accessibility issues are some of the daily issues that this program addresses for those in need. “We believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure place to live. More and more of our neighbors,

friends and family – especially seniors, disabled persons and veterans – are experiencing financial difficulties. We are here to help,” explains Glen McDonald, Executive Director for Homes For All, which runs the program. “This program allows area residents to remain in their homes that would otherwise be displaced by making critically needed repairs. Every day we are making a difference and improving the quality of life for those in need.” Hands For All works with Ocean County, local

towns, social services, civic groups, religious groups and volunteers to provide the much needed assistance. The program is always happy to receive support and help from the community through donations or volunteering. The Hands For All program has helped hundreds of residents over the last 30 years and is ready to help. If you or someone you know needs a home repair, please call 732-286-7929 today for more information and assistance.

Homes For All is a Toms River based nonprofit affordable housing developer that was founded in 1986 to respond to the growing housing and homeless crisis in our community. Over the last 30 years, Homes For All has provided more than 400 affordable homes to families and neighbors in our community.

Guests chose a bottle at random by placing their name on it and at the end of the night they uncovered which bottle they were bringing home. While some bottles were only worth $15, there were several worth more than $200 including a $328 bottle of 1986 Chateau Angelus. “This is one of my favorite events of the year,” said Denice Gaffney, Vice President of Development, Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus Foundation. “Our guests are really able to have fun, relax, and enjoy each other’s company all while supporting a great cause.

Barnegat Bay Still Feels Effects Of Sandy

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – Five years after the surge from Superstorm Sandy caused ocean waves to wash over the barrier island and flush out Barnegat Bay, the primary challenges facing the 42-mile long estuary remain the same, said executive director of Save Barnegat Bay Britta Wenzel. While water sampling taken immed iately af ter t he stor m m ig ht have shown decreased levels of nitrogen and phosphor us because of the f lushing, non-point source pollution from developed land continues to run into the bay, causing algae blooms and killing off what was once a thriving shellfish industry, she said. “Sandy did nothing to change the leading causes of pollution,” Wenzel said in a phone interview in the week leading up to the anniversary. “And it’s probably in worse condition because we haven’t addressed the problems.” Baseline sampling to test the bay’s water quality were taken in the summer of 2012, or pre-Sandy, she said, and would be used for the next phase of a State plan to clean up Barnegat Bay. Governor Chris Christie explained Phase 2 of the Bar negat Bay Action Plan during an October 4 press conference held at Cattus Island Park in Toms River. Phase 1 of the 10-point action plan was launched in 2010, which included t he preser vat ion of open space; a com mit ment to shut dow n Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant by the end of 2019; tens of millions of dollars for local stor mwater i nf rast r uct u re improvements projects; new laws that regulate the formulation and application of fertilizers; and a comprehensive water monitoring network for fresh and marine water quality. During the press conference, Christie announced that his administration would be provid i ng $20 m illion i n grants to county and local governments and other organizations to address the non-poi nt sou rces of pollut ion a nd other stressors to the bay. He said the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) would begin to develop modeling for “focused total maximum daily load criteria for nutrients” to restore impaired areas of the bay to a healthy condition. Phase 2 would build on Phase 1, Christie said, and would include restoration of impaired areas; enhancement of areas in the bay that are on the brink of impairment; protection of areas in good health; and assessment and ongoing monitoring to “determine the efficacy of our actions.” Debr is t h at wa she d i nt o t he bay during the superstorm presents a new unknown, Wenzel said: “W hat are the long-ter m effects of household hazardous materials, such as paint cans and lawn mower fuel, that

has not necessarily been picked up by sonar?” she asked. The bottom of the bay would have to be raked in order for all of the hazardous material to be collected, she added. Wenzel said that she and Save Barnegat Bay President Willie deCamp have discussed putting forward legislation mandating that household hazardous waste be stored higher than the f lood level in f loodplain areas. Accordi ng to D r. Stewa r t Fa r rell Director and Founder of the Coastal Re s e a r ch C e nt e r at St o ck t on Un iversity, when the ocean washed over Mantoloking, Bay Head, Ortley Beach and Holgate, “everything imaginable” was washed into the bay, ranging from entire houses, “white goods” (appliances), furniture, sporting equipment such as bicycles, golf clubs, and thousands of pavers. “The pile of white goods I saw in Mantoloking was about 35 feet high. There were ranges, dr yers, sinks, washing machines,” Farrell said. “They also recovered boats in the woods that had come from the barrier island that were still attached to their trailers.” The NJDEP, which was in charge of debris removal, hired private dredgers who were brought in to suck up all the material that had ended up in the bay, much of which could be seen at low tide when the debris was exposed, Farrell said. The contractors emptied their dredge spoils into front end loaders and then into large sieves with rotating drums that separated the sand from the debris. “The sand was put back on the land, and the big chunks, including many of the pavers, went elsewhere,” Farrell said. Private contractors using side scan sonar scoured the bay floor, and divers hooked the large pieces of debris and pulled it up, he said. “That last golf club isn’t coming back, and there are still thousands of pavers on the bay floor that are now part of the geographical record,” Farrell said. The overwash created another problem, which was the damage to navigational channels due to shoaling from Sandy. “FEMA said if you can prove what was deposited into the channels was from Sandy, we’ll pay 90 percent, but the problem was many of the 40 channels in Barnegat Bay had not been surveyed for over five years,” he said. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said they would not pay for routine dredging of the channels, but they would pay for catastrophic dredging if it could be proven, Farrell recalled. “Yours truly said that the sediment from Sandy would be different from the normal accrued sediment, so after vertical cores were sampled, and they looked at the material, FEMA agreed that it was not normal,” Farrell said.

Continued From Page 28 Any contrast of the vertical cores, pre-and post-Sandy was “dramatically provable,” Farrell said. Therefore, the NJ Department of Transportation (DOT) “who is in charge of the marine highways,” hired 10 crews for every state channel. They dredged the channels from Raritan Bay to Cape May Point. The telltale indicator of Sandy deposits was, in many places, about three feet of highly concentrated plant debris, such as seagrass and pine needles, over the original muddy sand bay f loor, Farrell said. Over the course of a year and a half, the NJDOT took 3,800 sample cores and photographs, and the results were turned over to FEMA for their review. The Superstorm Sandy State Channels Dredging Project Worksheet has been approved by FEMA, at the cost of an estimated $61.5 million, covering 130 state navigation channels, said NJDOT

Di rector of Com mu n icat ions Steve Schapiro. He said the continuing NJDOT dredging to repair navigation channels due to Sandy would be paid for by NJDOT and would be eligible for 90 percent reimbursement by FEMA after the project completion. “NJDOT will only receive reimbursement after projects are completed on a channel-by-channel basis,” Schapiro wrote in an email. “The cost of [dredging navigation channels in Barnegat Bay] is not a fixed number, and I don’t have any figures at this time,” he said. deCamp of Save Barnegat Bay said that the bay has two big problems: a health problem and “an existential problem” in sea level rise. “Society is in a strange state of awareness. They think that Sandy was an 800-year storm, and we don’t have to worry about it,” he said. “But sea level rise could take away the barrier island,” deCamp said. “People don’t like to think about it or talk about it.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of november 4 - november 10

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Freedom, or so the song goes, is just another word for nothing left to lose. Your expression of outgoing friendliness in the week ahead might invite criticism. Focus on hard work and get a crucial project completed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put your shoulder to the plow. You can make progress with anything that requires physical exertion or a sustained effort in the week ahead. Put romantic fantasies on the back burner and avoid making new commitments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone could be serious when you are being frivolous. You risk causing offense unless you take each and every regulation and rule to heart. Don’t send out resumes or apply for a promotion in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may wrestle with words and meanings. A tendency to put your foot in your mouth or to misinterpret what someone else says can cause misunderstandings. Avoid disputes by being super sincere in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might be in the mood for love, but love might not be in the mood for you. It is possible you are preoccupied by romantic fantasies or get-rich-schemes. This is not a good week to put your farfetched ideas into action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A passion for perfection is only matched by an obsession with accomplishment. Due to your singlemindedness you may underestimate the impact of misunderstandings this week. Treat loved ones with care.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week to come you may be challenged by relationship dynamics in the workplace. If friends trust you then an apology won’t be necessary if you accidently cross the line, but it would be prudent to make amends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid the crossfire. Steer clear of disagreements in the week ahead. You can only promise to complete only what is feasible. You are cognizant of your limits even if tempted to show off a bit too much in public. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hold off on making major decisions or changes in the week ahead. Family matters could put your teeth on edge, but if you are understanding, patient and do your duty everything will turn out just fine in the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mind your p’s and q’s as well as any other alphabet letters that come to mind. Bite your tongue rather than offering criticism or disapproval this week. You are smart enough to make an appropriate apology when needed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Hold that thought. Someone may try to rush you into making a decision or a purchase but it is in your best interests to wait. Keep your money safe and avoid making major financial commitments in the week to come. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be lulled into a state of complacency as this week unfolds. You may have high ideals but could inadvertently clash with others. Guard your reputation fiercely and don’t act without careful forethought.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Finding Fault With Fennel Isn’t An Option When You Taste This Delicious Dish By Wolfgang Puck

I am often fascinated by the kinds of foods and flavors that some people may love while others refuse to eat them. We call such ingredients “acquired tastes,” because those who love them optimistically believe that, prepared properly and served under the right circumstances, anyone can develop a craving for them. Not every taste, of course, can be acquired that way. I doubt, for example, that repeated exposure probably won’t win many converts to certain exceedingly smelly foods along the lines of Limburger cheese from northwestern Germany, or the Southeast Asian fruit called durian, which has an odor politely compared to dirty socks. Other acquired tastes, however, are not only far less assertive but also pleasant and can easily win over converts simply through the right kind of introduction. Take fennel bulb, for example, which is at its peak of season right now and can be found in farmers’ market stalls and well-stock supermarkets alike. Also known as Florence fennel or by the Italian finocchio, this vegetable is actually a member of the carrot family. But, rather than being slender and usually orange, white and pale-green fennel roots are bulbous, almost heart-shaped, and they’re distinguished by a flavor most people consider very similar to licorice. And that’s where the challenge comes in. Most people think of licorice as a flavor for candy, and even that candy itself is an acquired taste. So why would you want to eat it as part of a savory preparation? The answer is that, when properly cooked, fennel develops a satisfying, deeply savory sweetness as appealing as that of caramelized onions. And its sweet perfume, also found in another variety of fennel prized as an herb for its feathery green fronds, also found on fennel bulb, makes a wonderfully bright seasoning for certain light and savory ingredients like seafood or chicken. For proof of that fact, I’d like to share one of my longtime favorite recipes for an impressive yet simple main course: roast rock cod with fennel and beurre blanc. Though it starts with a whole fresh fish (which you should ask your seafood shop or supermarket department to clean and scale for you), it’s surprisingly easy to prepare, and cooks in just around half an hour. But that’s enough time for the two fennel bulbs in the recipe to give the mild-tasting fish a wonderful aroma and flavor, while also forming a delicious vegetable side along with the potatoes, onions and tomatoes combined with it in the roasting pan. The result is a dish that will have everyone you serve it to asking, “What is that beautiful, delicate flavor?” And you’ll have succeeded in gaining new fans for the easily acquired taste of fennel. ROAST ROCK COD WITH FENNEL AND BEURRE BLANC Serves 4 to 6 1 whole rock cod, about 1 1/2 feet (46 cm) long, cleaned and scaled, or similarly sized whole fish such as snapper or black bass Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 5 medium fennel branches

2 fennel bulbs, trimmed and cut lengthwise into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick, plus 1/2 fennel bulb, trimmed and finely chopped 4 fingerling potatoes, cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 2 medium yellow onions, cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 4 medium-sized tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges Pinch crushed red pepper flakes Extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) dry white wine or water 3 shallots, finely chopped 2 tablespoons Pernod or anisette 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature 1/2 lemon, juiced 2 lemons, cut into halves or wedges, for garnish Fresh Italian parsley sprigs Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). With a sharp knife, cut an incision 1-inch (2.5-cm) deep all along the length of the fish on both sides of the backbone. Perpendicular to those incisions, cut incisions 1/2-inch (12-mm) deep into the flesh at 1-inch (2.5-cm) intervals. Season the fish all over, including the incisions and cavity, with salt and pepper. Put 4 fennel branches in the body cavity. Spread 2 of the sliced fennel bulbs, plus the potatoes, onions and tomatoes, on a rimmed metal baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Place the fish on top, body cavity down and backbone up, and drizzle generously with more olive oil. Pour half of the wine or water over the fish and vegetables. Place the baking sheet on top of the stove over two burners set to medium-high heat. As soon as the liquid in the baking sheet starts to steam, carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Roast the fish, basting it occasionally with the juices from the pan, until its flesh easily separates from the bone when an incision is probed with the side of the basting spoon, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shallots and chopped fennel bulb, and saute, stirring frequently, until translucent but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Carefully add the Pernod, which may flare up as its alcohol burns, and then pour in the remaining white wine or water and stir. Scrape to deglaze the pan deposits. Simmer briskly until the liquid has reduced to about 1/4 cup (60 mL), about 10 minutes. Whisking continuously, add the butter to the pan 1 or 2 pieces at a time until it melts, forming a thick, creamy sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the lemon juice. Pour the sauce through a fine strainer held over another saucepan, and press down on the solids with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. Finely chop the fronds of the remaining fennel branch, stir all but 1 tablespoon into the sauce, and adjust the seasonings to taste. Keep warm over low heat. Use a pair of large spatulas to transfer the fish to a serving platter. Arrange the roasted vegetables around the fish and drizzle with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of the sauce. Garnish with lemons and parsley, drizzle the fish with a little more olive oil, and serve, passing the sauce separately.
