OCVTS Students rehearse “Peter and the Starcatcher.” By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Although ground hasn’t been broken for the upcoming Performing Arts Academy, officials have laid the
groundwork for its funding. The Ocean County Freeholders passed the second reading of an ordinance that would create a $27 million bond to pay for the

Environmental Settlement Question Passes By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A ballot question about funding clean-ups passed statewide. Question No. 2 was designed to dedicate environmental settlement funds to environmental cleanups. The question’s wording stated: “The moneys would have to be used to repair, restore, replace or preserve the State’s natural resources. The moneys may also be used to pay legal or other costs incurred by the State in pursuing its claims. Currently, these moneys may be used for any State purpose.” Ocean County voters supported this measure, 79,103 votes to 49,806. The vote passed statewide as well. The Sierra Club sent a statement praising the
passage of the ballot question. “This is a win for the environment and the people who want to make sure it’s protected,” said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “With the passage of Ballot Question No. 2, money that comes from environmental settlements will serve environmental purposes. It means we can cleanup and make our communities whole again after they’ve been devastated by toxic pollution. The money will go towards restoring wetlands, cleaning up streams, planting trees, rebuilding parks, protecting our drinking water, and other issues that arise after a community has been devastated by toxic contamination.”

However, the funding will come from other sources as well. The state of New Jersey will be paying 40 percent of the project, or $10.6 million. The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation has pledged $8 million. “We could not have made this happen without the generosity of the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation,” Bartlett said. “With the help of the foundation and the state, we can afford the $8 million from the freeholders for the construction of the building.” The 60,000-square-foot building is expected to open in 2019. It will be located on the campus of Ocean County College. One of the benefits of being at OCC is that the infrastructure is already there, Bartlett said. The site is already hooked up to utilities and the roads and parking are already there. Additionally, the county would not have to purchase property for the school. “At night time, the college can use the building as well,” he said. The Performing Arts Academy is currently renting space in Hangar 1 of the Joint Base-McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst. Its lease will be expiring soon. Additionally, with added security regulations, parents and staff have expressed that location is not as convenient as it once was. During the introduction of that bond ordinance, Suzanne Wyckoff, Jackson, thanked the Freeholders on behalf of the Parent Teacher Association for the The General’s

Performing Arts Academy. “The school is amazing. The building… not so much,” she said of the academy’s current home. She underlined that her children have been engaged with a challenging academic course load in addition to their chosen artistic specialities. Two institutions that only exist on paper, the Ocean County College Board of School Estimate and the Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools Board of School Estimate, both passed resolutions outlining the funding sources and the responsibilities of the two institutions. The academy offers four majors: theater, vocal, dance and audio engineering. This is in addition to its academic curriculum. “The curriculum is rigorous and the students are expected to think critically and creatively,” OCVTS Superintendent William Hoey said in a press release. “This new academy will benefit both the high school and college students. We will be sharing the classroom space and can use the other amenities at the college.” OCC College President Dr. Jon Larson said in a press release that high school students will able to use the college’s library, student center and the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts. “Once they complete the academy curriculum, students will be awarded OCC’s associate degree and will be half way to a bachelor’s degree – all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree,” Larson said.

Grasso charges: Former Donovan Catholic player Vinny Grasso, a senior wide receiver-punt returner, helped the host Monmouth Hawks to a 42-21 win over the Blue Hose of Presbyterian College. Grasso blazed 70 yards with a punt return for a 28-13 lead with 7:33 left in the third quarter. It was the first punt return touchdown of his career. “Vinny returned punts last year for us,” winning coach Kevin Callahan said. “The punt return is something we work a lot on and the guys work hard on trying to get on blocks. That was a big play in the game and a huge momentum swing for us.” Grasso caught one pass for 11 yards. His lone pass of the game fell incomplete. Senior teammate Mike Basile (Brick Memorial) made a team-high 10 tackles to push his program record to 404 stops. He led the Hawks with eight solos and added two assists. Monmouth junior Tymere Berry (Toms River South) jetted 36 yards with an interception to set up a touchdown that put the Hawks in front 34-14 with 6:24 left in the third quarter.

DEP: Homes Will Come To Eagle Ridge Golf Course
–Photo by Sara Grillo A Lakewood resident holds up a sign protesting development on the Eagle Ridge Golf Course at a May 9 public hearing. By Chris Lundy TRENTON – Fewer homes will be built as a result of the Department of Environmental Protection intent to settle with the developer of the Eagle Ridge golf course property. The DEP published an “intent to settle,” and is still taking comment from the public. The new plan would allow 517 residential units and 517 basement apartments, for a total of 1,034 units. Of the above-ground units, there would be 43 single-family units and 237 duplex units included in that total. There would also be five community center buildings, a clubhouse with amenities, a 23,387 square foot retail building and another 44,677 square-foot retail buildings. As part of the deal, .343 acres of isolated freshwater wetlands would be filled in, and 41.07 acres of existing forest preservation areas will remain preserved. An additional 1.94 acres of forest will be placed on a conservation restriction as part of the deal. Comments about this settlement, or requests for copies of the plan, should be sent to: Coastal Bureau Manager, Bureau of Coastal Regulation, Division of Land Use Regulation, NJDEP, Mail Code 501-02A, PO Box 420, Trenton, NJ 08625-0420, or the office may be reached by telephone: (609) 633- 2289. Comments must be received by Nov. 30, 2017. The initial plan was for 936 senior housing residences and 936 basement apartments. The DEP listed a number of problems the application had. Some of them involved
the amount of utilities that the development would require. Some involved the amount of open space it would use up and the impact on specific species. The traffic impact study was also singled out by the DEP as not being accurate. The applicant, GDMS Holdings, LLC, had appealed the denial, which resulted in this settlement. Environmentalists see this as a loss. “The NJDEP has sold out Lakewood, Barnegat Bay, and the environment to the developers once again,” said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “This project would have tremendous environmental impacts on water quality and traffic patterns. The same issues that originally caused the DEP to reject these permits still persist at this site. They will be building a massive high-intensity sprawling development on top of environmentally-sensitive land. This project would be an environmental disaster because the residents would experience flooding and pollution run-off into the Barnegat Bay.” Tittel, in a press release, went on to describe a list of violations in the application, including: traffic, too much impervious coverage, impact on species, stormwater management, and other environmental regulations. “The DEP admitted that the first application was a failure,” he said. “The DEP has failed to do its job by approving this project that threatens the environment and communities of Lakewood.”

Smith Chairs Capitol Hill Briefing On International Child Abduction From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith 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 cour t even though the convention requires a six week-max-
imum 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 because they feel they can get
away with it,” said Alissa Zagaris, an advocate and mother of Leo Zagaris. “Most central authorities take a ver y passive approach to these matters,” she said, but in reality “they have a strong, not a passive, paper-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.
Freeholders Call Upon Congress To Say No To Eliminating Federal Income Tax Deduction For State And Local Taxes
NEW JERSEY – The state and local tax deduction (SALT) has for more than a century been used by t axpayers i n Ocean County and throughout New Jersey as a deduction on fe de r al i ncome t a x returns. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, along with his colleagues on the Board of Chosen Freeholders, doesn’t want that to change any time soon for the hundreds of thousands of county residents that use it. “This proposal which is being given serious consideration by Congress to eliminate this deduction is a serious mistake,” Vicari said. “This particular income tax deduction is used by almost everyone who itemizes their income t a xe s . T h i s d e d u c t io n prevents double taxation since state and local taxes are mandatory payments.” The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholder s
recently passed a resolution expressing “its strong opposition to any tax reform proposal that would eliminate the SALT deduction,” according to the resolution. “We are urging the U.S. Congress and our Congressional leaders to join us in publicly opposing any such proposal,” Vicari said. The Board joins a growing chorus of opposition to the proposal including the New Jersey Association of Counties, the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities and the United States Conference of Mayors. According to these organizations, eliminating or cappi ng federal de ductibility for state and local property, sales and income taxes would represent double taxation on A mer ica n t axpayers, a principle strongly rejected throughout the rest of the tax code.
“This federal cost shift onto local gover nments would place extreme pressure on Ocean County’s budget including diminished revenue for essential local government investments, including public safety and public infrastructure,” according to the Freeholder resolution. “Increased federal taxation and reduced County ser vices will har m our local housing market, decrease home values and erode our local tax base.” Vicari noted that Ocean County and the state of New Jersey pays more than its fair share of taxes to the federal government with one of the worst returns. The average New Jersey taxpayer paid $18,367 in federal income taxes, behind only Connecticut, New York, and Massachuset ts. That’s $4,316 above the national average of $14,051, according to published reports.
In addition, in 2015, New Jerseyans received only 48 cents back for every dollar they pay in income tax, the fourth lowest rate

Kevin’s Kids Need Your Help
MANCHESTER – Some 34 years ago a first grade teacher in Manchester unknowingly started a Christmas tradition when she asked her class, “What is Santa Claus going to bring you on Christmas Eve?” Unfortunately one child broke the teacher’s heart with his response of “Santa Claus never comes to my house.” Saddened by the boy’s story, the school staff started a drive to help the boy and his family as well as a handful of other needy children. The Kevin’s Kids Drive continues today with a list of families that school officials anticipate will include some 400 children and their families this year. The goal of the annual Kevin’s Kids Drive is to provide not only toys but also much needed necessities such as clothing and food. “Yes this is a Christmas Drive, but hopefully the necessities provided will help parents in these difficult times throughout the year,” said Alex George, Director of Student and Administrative Services, and chairperson for the drive. “Through the generosity of the Manchester School District, the Manchester Police, many local businesses, senior villages and the entire Manchester community, the Kevin’s Kids Christmas Drive hopes to grant the specific Wish List of each child,” George explained. “Teachers contact parents of the identified children and develop the wish list of each child. During this process, staff discover that
for so many of these children it is the very first ‘new’ pair of sneakers or that first brand new outfit for school or a bicycle that will be their own, instead of one that someone else discarded.” “This Holiday Drive enables ‘Santa’ to visit the home of each of these disadvantaged children, bringing not just gifts but joy. The children and families that we help struggle every other day of the year and we want them to have at least one special day full of surprise and delight. It offers these children the chance to believe that good things can happen to them.” “We ask individuals, businesses and community groups for any contribution that you can make to help us carry out our pledge to make sure that Santa Claus visits every home in Manchester. Each donation goes directly to buy food, new toys and clothing for every child identified on our list,” said George. “It is through your help and generosity that we can achieve our goal.” To donate, make checks payable to Manchester Township Middle School with “Kevin’s Kids” written in the memo section and mail to Kevin’s Kids, Manchester Twp Middle School, 2875 Ridgeway Rd., Manchester, NJ 08759. Donations of new toys and clothing are also accepted at any Manchester school. For more information email ageorge@manchestertwp.org.

President Donald Trump’s Proclamation where he named November 2017 as National Veterans and Military Families Month. Following, MTHS Student Ashley Lynch read a piece that she wrote to the Veterans in attendance that was titled “My Role Model.” In her piece Lynch wrote about her neighbor, Nick Ott who was a former MTHS student who served in the US Marines and was sadly killed during combat operations. The MTHS NJROTC gave a student demonstration that had the audience smiling from ear to ear; followed by a moment of silence and “Taps” performed by Sarah Culp. Jill Ocone, who organizes the ceremony each year, then gave the Ceremony Dedication to Captain Thompson who is an NJROTC Instructor at MTHS. The Second Annual Hawks Hall of Honor Roll Call was then read by Ocone before students gave recognition to each veteran in attendance. When each veteran’s name was called, the students who dedicated their time to take part in the ceremony read a brief description of the type of service each Veteran was involved in and some of the memories they had while fighting for the country. Earlier this month, students wrote letters to the veterans that would be attending the ceremony to thank all of them. Each of them were handed a folder that included letters and a certificate of recognition for their bravery and dedication to America. The ceremony concluded with closing remarks by Kaitlin Clutter. Refreshments were then served at the Hall of Honor to end the ceremony on a “sweet note.” The ceremony brought together all different generations and was special to everyone that was there. The veterans served as inspiration for the students in NJROTC hoping to advance their careers as service men and women and it assured the veterans that they are truly admired and appreciated by many. Thank you to the students and staff, especially Ocone for all of their hard work into making this year’s ceremony yet another success. Reported by Kaitlin Clutter for Talon 2.0, Manchester Township High School’s cyber newspaper.

No Shave November In Lakehurst
LAKEHURST – For the entire month of November some of Lakehurst’s police officers will be growing mustaches and beards to help raise some money and awareness towards a great cause. Lakehurst police officers are getting a month off from rules requiring them to be clean-shaven and have neatly groomed hair if they give and raise money to help fight cancer. Chief Eric Higgins approved participation in “No-Shave November” for officers who agree to donate and raise money to help fight cancer. This is a unique way for them to show support for raising cancer awareness while deviating from their normal grooming standards. Officers who choose to participate must keep their facial hair neatly trimmed, but
may go without shaving for the entire month of November. “No Shave November” was started to raise cancer awareness, it’s one more way that Lakehurst’s police officers give back. Anyone who comes in to contact with one of the officers and notices a change in appearance, it’s for a good cause. The following foundations will benefit from this fundraiser: The American Cancer Society, Colorectal Cancer Society, Prevent Cancer Foundation and the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Help support Lakehurst officers and their fundraising efforts by making a donation. To make a donation, visit no-shave.org/team/ Lakehurst_PD.

Big Hearts Needed To Make Little Hats
NEW JERSEY – Calling all knitters and crocheters. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association is looking to empower new moms to take their family’s health to heart. Join volunteers from across New Jersey to celebrate American Heart Month by knitting or crocheting red hats for babies born in February at participating hospitals. The Little Hats, Big Hearts initiative gives new moms a free kit that includes a beautiful, handmade red hat, along with health information including tips on raising a healthy family, ways mom can take care of herself, heart-healthy recipes and information on children’s heart health. In 2017, over 2,200 Little Hats, Big Hearts kits were provided to new moms in New Jersey as they began their parenthood journey. This year, the American Heart Association’s goal is to send out over 2,500 Little Hats, Big Hearts kits to moms across the Garden State. The kits will be delivered at many New Jersey hospitals during February, which is also American Heart Month. “Our goal is to empower moms and babies with the information they need to live a heart healthy life from day one,” said Eileen Cardile, Chair of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association South, Central New Jersey Board and Senior Consultant at Numerof and Associates. “It is inspiring to see the Garden State celebrate American Heart Month as we

5 Medical Factors That Could Lead To Hearing Loss
While hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises – also referred to as sensorineural hearing loss – a number of medical conditions can lead to hearing impairment as well. Fortunately, some of these medical conditions are reversible, allowing hearing to become fully restored. Current research is finding strong associations between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity and dementia. But many lesser-known conditions can impact your hearing health in potentially serious ways. Here are a few of them: 1. Blood Conditions: Poor blood flow is typically the result of circulatory system troubles and can restrict the flow of oxygen to the inner ear. Conditions affecting blood flow include sickle-cell anemia, diabetes and heart conditions. Things like high blood pressure, hypercoagulability and polycythemia can also cause blood related hearing loss. 2. Infections: Meningitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord, can cause sudden hearing loss. Hearing loss is also a side effect of treatment of tuberculosis – though it is possible that the medication used in treatment is what causes the impairment. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are common side effects of Lyme disease (carried by ticks), as well as some STDs, like syphilis. 3. Disease: Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the fluids in the inner ear, is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Its root is unknown, and the disease typically affects only one ear in individuals between ages 20 and 50. Other
issues known to affect hearing include hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), kidney disease medications, Paget’s disease and autoimmune inner ear disease, which results in sudden onset hearing loss and must be treated as a medical emergency. 4. Hereditary Conditions: Hearing loss may run in your family. Some serious genetic disorders, such as Waardenburg syndrome, cause the head and internal organs to develop differently, which may result in hearing loss that is difficult to correct through treatment or surgery. Other conditions, like otosclerosis, affect the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the cochlea; some of these conditions are correctable with surgery. 5. Tumors and Cancer: Cancers of the head, neck or ear areas can affect the inner ear, but cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also notorious for causing hearing loss. Some recent research out of the U.K. suggests that aspirin can help prevent permanent hearing loss as a side effect of the cancer drug cisplatin, but further research is necessary. Acoustic neuromas and tumors that grow on the auditory nerve can cause hearing loss or tinnitus, and they may put pressure on the brain, leading to other conditions. Both are usually benign and can be removed surgically. Free Hearing Screening – Do you have a friend or family member who has complained of an inability to hear things as clearly as they once did? We’ll screen their hearing free of charge. Your referrals mean a healthier local community and healthier communities benefit everyone.

The Secret Nutrient That Helps Graves’ Disease By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Graves’ disease leads to high levels of thyroid hormone, termed “hyperthyroidism” which is the opposite of hypothyroidism, a condition that I usually write about. Graves’ disease takes its name after the doctor who described it for the first time in 1835, Dr. Robert J. Graves and it affects 10 million people worldwide. It causes your immune system to produce antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormone than you need. Doctors then seek to surgically cut out or burn (radiate) your thyroid gland to stop the outpouring of thyroid hormone. After that, you will take thyroid medicine at standard doses. Emerging research shows that deficiency of vitamin D is associated with this condition. It’s exciting. In a study published in Endocrine Journal (2012), scientists examined vitamin D levels in 26 women who had Graves’ disease. This data was compared with vitamin D levels in 46 healthy (non-afflicted) women meaning they had normal thyroid function and no signs of Graves’ disease. The vitamin D levels in women with Graves’ disease were considerably lower than the healthy participants. There was another research study and the levels of vitamin D in 208 Graves’ disease patients were assessed. They noticed that women were way more vitamin D deficient than men (38 percent to 17 percent). It’s an interesting gender difference to keep in mind. There’s also an interesting seasonal variation in vitamin D levels. As you would expect, the “sunshine” vitamin D levels were higher in summertime and relatively lower during
winter. If low levels of vitamin D contribute, cause or exacerbate Graves’ disease, could improving your vitamin D levels regulate thyroid metabolism? In 2014, researchers published a case study in the Clinical Medicine Insight about a woman in her 40s whose symptoms improved after vitamin D supplementation. She had complained of heart palpitations for the prior three months and finally came in to see her doctor. Her physical exam revealed an enlarged thyroid gland consistent with Graves’ disease. Lab tests checking for antibodies confirmed that she had Graves’ disease. Additionally, she had lower than optimal vitamin D levels. The patient was given a vitamin D supplement and as you might expect, improvement was confirmed though lab testing. It’s not that we have thousands of people from a large-scale test, but in my humble opinion, we have enough data here to make the case that D can support healthy antibody levels not only in Hashimoto’s, but also Graves’ disease. Why? Because we know that vitamin D is an immune-modulator. We know that it supports Th1 and Th2 immune functioning. As a perk, it could improve mood in people who feel gloomy and tearful during the cold months. Ask your doctor if it’s right for you even though it’s over-the-counter. Keep in mind that too much vitamin D could jack up levels of magnesium and calcium and adversely affect your heart rhythm. Don’t overdo it, and write me if you note improvement. I’d love to hear from you.

NEW JERSEY – Anyone considering donating to a charity should research that charity before donating, the Federal Trade Commission said. These days, charities and fundraisers (groups that solicit funds on behalf of organizations) use the phone, face-to-face contact, email, the internet (including social networking sites), and mobile devices to solicit and obtain donations. Naturally, scammers use these same methods to
Advice Before Giving To A Charity take advantage of persons’ goodwill. Regardless of how they reach someone, avoid any charity or fundraiser that refuses to provide detailed information about its identity, mission, costs, and how the donation will be used; won’t provide proof that a contribution is tax deductible; uses a name that closely resembles that of a better-known, reputable organization; gives thanks for pledges that weren’t made; uses high-pressure tactics
like trying a person to donate immediately, without giving that person time to think about it and do their research; asks for donations in cash or asks persons to wire money; offers to send a courier or overnight delivery service to collect the donation immediately; guarantees sweepstakes winnings in exchange for a contribution. By law, a person never has to give a donation to be eligible to win a sweepstakes.
Donators should ask for detailed information about the charity, including name, address, and telephone number. They should get the exact name of the organization and do some research. Searching the name of the organization online — especially with the word “complaint(s)” or “scam”— is one way to learn about its reputation. Call the charity. Find out if the organization is aware of the solicitation and has authorized the use of its name. The organization’s development staff should be able to help. Find out if the charity or fundraiser must be registered in the state by contacting the National Association of State Charity Officials. Check if the charity is trustworthy by contacting the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, or GuideStar. And ask if the caller is a paid fundraiser. If so, ask the name of the charity they represent, the percentage of the donation that will go to the charity, how much will go to the actual cause to which you’re donating, and how much will go to the fundraiser. Donators should keep records of donations and make an annual donation plan to stick with. Visit this Internal Revenue Service (IRS) webpage to find out which organizations are eligible to receive tax deductible contributions. Know the difference between “tax exempt” and “tax deductible.” Tax exempt means the organization doesn’t have to pay taxes. Tax deductible means donators can deduct their contribution on their federal income tax return. Never send cash donations. For security and tax purposes, it’s best to pay by check — made payable to the charity — or by credit card. Never wire money to someone claiming to be a charity. Scammers often request donations to be wired because wiring money is like sending cash: once sent, it can’t be gotten back. Do not provide a credit or check card number, bank account number or any personal information until the donator has thoroughly researched the charity. Be wary of charities that spring up too suddenly in response to current events and natural disasters. Even if they are legitimate, they probably don’t have the infrastructure to get the donations to the affected area or people. If a donation request comes from a group claiming to help the community (for example, local police or firefighters), ask the local agency if they have heard of the group and are getting financial support. What about texting? The charge will show up on the mobile phone bill. If the donator has asked his mobile phone provider to block premium text messages — texts that cost extra — then he won’t be able to donate this way. The National Do Not Call Registry gives persons a way to reduce telemarketing calls, but it exempts charities and political groups. However, if a fundraiser is calling on behalf of a charity, persons may ask not to get any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If those calls continue, the fundraiser may be subject to a fine. Anyone who thinks they’ve been the victim of a charity scam or if a fundraiser has violated Do Not Call rules, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. These complaints can help detect patterns of wrong-doing and lead to investigations and prosecutions. Complaints can be filed at ftccomplaintassistant.gov.

Deadline Approaching In NJ For SBA Working Capital Loans
NEW JERSEY – The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations that Dec. 5 is the filing deadline for federal economic injury disaster loans in New Jersey as a result of the drought between May 1 and Dec. 10, 2016. This disaster declaration includes the following counties: Burlington, Hunterdon, Mercer and Warren in New Jersey. “These counties are eligible because they are contiguous to one or more primary counties in Pennsylvania. The Small Business Administration recognizes that disasters do not usually stop at county or state lines. For that reason, counties adjacent to primary counties named in the declaration are included,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta. Under this declaration, the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. With the exception of aquaculture enterprises, SBA
cannot provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers. Nurseries are eligible to apply for economic injury disaster loans for losses caused by drought conditions. The loans are for working capital and can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 4 percent for eligible small businesses and 2.65 percent for nonprofit organizations, and terms up to 30 years. Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at disasterloan.sba.gov/ela. Disaster loan information and application forms may also be obtained by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or by sending an email to disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Loan applications can be downloaded from the SBA’s website at www.sba.gov/disaster. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155. Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than Dec. 5.

New Jersey Natural Gas EnergyEfficiency Rate To Decrease
WALL – New Jersey Nat ural Gas (NJNG) received approval from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) for a decrease to its Energy-Efficiency (EE) rate. A typical residential heat customer using 1,000 therms annually will see their bill go from $1,062.88 to 1,056.78 per year, a savings of $6.10 or 0.6 percent. These savings come on top of a 0.7 percent reduction to their bills, which was previously approved by the BPU in September. The net effect of these rate changes is an overall annual decrease of $13.40 or 1.3 percent. The new rate and cumulative savings will be effective November 1. “With the weather turning colder, we are pleased to help further lower customers’ bills heading into the winter heating season,” said Laurence M. Downes, chairman and CEO of New Jersey Natural Gas. “As always, we are committed to doing our best to ensure safe, reliable,
affordable service for our customers.” NJNG’s EE rate recovers costs associated with its offerings through The SAVEGREEN Project ® (SAVEGREEN), including investment in energy-efficient equipment upgrades and whole-house improvements. Launched in September 2009, SAVEGREEN provides rebates and incentives to help customers reduce their energy costs and emissions. These offerings complement those administered by New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program™ and support the state’s goal to lower customer energy costs, improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage economic development. Since its inception in 2009, SAVEGREEN has completed over 40,000 energy audits, helped nearly 49,000 customers with energy-efficiency upgrades and generated more than $370 million of economic activity in New Jersey.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Christopher R. Shea Esq. Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you’ve suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.
Christopher R. Shea Esq.
Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of november 18 - november 24
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): One isn’t necessarily the loneliest number. Having some time to yourself may provide some muchneeded space and allow you to clear your head. Keep your money in the piggy bank unless it is absolutely necessary to spend it. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Maintain an eye for detail. Even the smallest improvement can make a world of difference, whether it is straightening out a picture or making decorative decisions. Your calm and objective demeanor makes you the perfect mediator. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave well enough alone. Back off if someone doesn’t want to discuss an issue as continual prying could create friction. Don’t assume that others’ lack of motivation puts you in charge or you will quickly be proven wrong. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Set the bar low. If you keep expectations within reason you won’t run any risk of being disappointed by the results. Focus on finishing tasks and tying up loose ends but avoid trying to start anything new. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t bet on it. Conditions may change such that what may at first seem like a sure thing could turn into a bum steer. Turn your energies toward honoring commitments and responsibilities but don’t add anything new to your plate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even at a bargain price, a useless item is still useless. Don’t get so caught up in a sales pitch that you forget that the best way to save money is to not spend it. Keep spending at a minimum until later in the week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Let the chips fall where they may. Trying to manipulate a situation to your benefit could have dire consequences so allow events to unfold naturally. Romantic pursuits may not be particularly inspiring but patience will pay off. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): There is a time and a place for everything. While your heart may yearn for romance you brain should be telling you there is much to be done. Prioritize tasks in order of importance and save flights of fancy for later in the week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Keep your ears open. Listening to what somewhat else has to say could shed valuable light on a situation that may have been problematic for you. When shopping, your policy should be look but don’t touch. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Make sure that the only toes that you’re standing on are your own. Offering criticism or unsolicited help to someone may breed more contempt than appreciation. You’ll get a lot more done if you work on your own. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Don’t take it personally. Someone else’s rotten mood could be contagious if you allow them to get under your skin. You may find that you are far more productive when you tackle projects by yourself rather than in a group. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): Be logical, not emotional. Sometimes, when you are faced with horrible choices, it may be better to make no decision at all rather than a poor one. Taking the road less-traveled may lead you to someplace exciting and new.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen It’s Not Too Soon To Start Talking Turkey For Thanksgiving By Wolfgang Puck ROSEMARY BUTTER-BASTED WHOLE ROASTED TURKEY WITH POMEGRANATE SAUCE Serves 12 1 whole turkey, about 20 pounds (10 kg) 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 large yellow onions, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks 4 large celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 to 4 cups (500 ml to 1 L) chicken stock or broth 1 cup (250 mL) bottled unsweetened pomegranate juice 1 cup (250 mL) pomegranate seeds, removed from a whole fruit yourself, or purchased already extracted and packaged Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Remove the neck, giblets and liver from the turkey’s cavity. Rinse inside and out with cold running water and pat dry. In a small mixing bowl, mash together the butter, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. At the neck opening of the bird, carefully insert your fingers to separate the turkey’s breast skin from the meat; spread the butter mixture in between. Rub the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper. Spread the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, giblets, neck and liver on the bottom of a roasting pan large enough to hold the
turkey. Place the turkey on top. Rub the turkey with 1 cup of olive oil. Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast for 45 minutes, then begin basting every 20 minutes, adding chicken stock to the pan as needed to keep the vegetables from burning. Roast the turkey for between 15 minutes and 20 minutes per pound (500 g) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh meat without touching bone registers at least 165 F (74 C) and no more than 180 F (82 C). Remove the pan from the oven, loosely cover the turkey with foil, and leave it in a warm place to rest until serving. Meanwhile, place the roasting pan over two burners on the stovetop. Add the pomegranate juice to the pan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Carefully pour the liquid through a wire-mesh strainer into a saucepan and, with a ladle, skim off excess fat from the surface. Simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce has thickened slightly; transfer to a sauceboat and keep warm. Transfer the turkey to a carving board. Using a sharp carving knife, cut off the legs and thighs, moving them to locate the joins and then carefully cut through the joints; cut off the meat in slices parallel to the bone. Starting along the high point of the breastbone, carefully cut downward following the ribs to completely cut off one side of the breast; then, place it on the cutting board and cut crosswise into thick slices. Transfer the slices to individual heated serving plates and garnish each serving with some sauce and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds.
