By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Kathy Abrahamson has her opinion on what makes a good chili. “I am not one for really super spicy foods, so I look for the chilis that aren’t real hot and that have a nice flavor. I like
meat chilis,” she said at the 10th annual Soup-R-Bowl of Chili Challenge. “But the people who like hot will judge it that way.” Six contenders competed to win over Abrahamson and dozens of others at the challenge, held on Jan. 27 at the community center.
The Lakehurst Historical Society, which sponsors the event, went up against the Lakehurst Elementary PTA, Lakehurst Volunteer Fire Company, Lakehurst First Aid Squad, AristaCare at Manchester and Fleet (Chili - See Page 5)

New Home Assessments For 2020
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The township has been ordered to either revaluate or re-assess the properties in town, officials said. Manchester was ordered by the Ocean County Board of Taxation to revaluate the properties in town so that they are on par with other municipalities, and residents will be taxed a fair amount. A revaluation, or reval, occurs when properties are valued higher or lower than the market. Since taxes are based on a property’s assessment, towns are often updating this information to make sure that owners are paying their fair share of taxes. The work needs to be done by the tax year 2020, township tax assessor Martin Lynch said. Right now, the township is at 85 percent market value, he said. That means that, on average, home values are below what they should be. When a township hits this number, they are ordered to perform a reval. “The market appreciated in value. It’s bounced back,” he said. Therefore, home values throughout the county are higher than what they were several years ago. But many homes in Manchester are still assessed at the lower numbers. At the end of the reval, the township will still collect the same amount of taxes, he said. What (Home - See Page 23)

Fire company vice president Edward Hawley Jr. said the recipes were new for this year. “This was our fi rst time doing a soup, which is amazing that we won in a bunch of different areas. I’m happy how everything came out. It’s actually my mom’s recipe,” Hawley said. His perfect chili is a mix of a lot of ingredients “and a lot of heart.” Their award-winning chili was simmered for 14 hours to perfection. Yet even with all the award-winning recipes, the company will likely use different recipes next year. “We try to change it up a little every year, because you never know what everyone’s going to like. Everyone has different tastes,” Hawley added. First-place people’s choice chili award went to the Lakehurst Elementary PTA. They entered a new contestant this year, Michael Thomas. He brought his original barbecue chicken chili, which went through four batches before he declared it just right. “The chili is very good and very different, and that’s what I like,” Thomas said. Even before his trophy collected any dust, he was asked to represent the PTA next year. Will he bring something different? “I’m going with the tried and true. There’s no reason to stop with something that’s well in motion right now. People have complimented my chili, so I’m good.” Fleet Reserve took second place for their chili. First place people’s choice soups went to AristaCare Cooking Club. The Historical Society placed third.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Overpopulation Leads To World’s Problems The world population is now estimated at 7.5 billion people, with most coming from poor developing countries that are least able to deal with their exploding populations. In my view, no greater t h reat ex ist s to t he stability of our environment, indeed to our existence, than overpopulation. It is notoriously an outstanding cause of poverty, suffering, unemployment and even war. Yet, we see popes f ly into poverty stricken T h i r d World c ou n tries and tell its poor u neducated masses, whose bodies already show t he a dva nc e d signs of malnutrition and star vation, that they should be “fruitf ul and multiply.” I know the Church has always u nderstood that high birth rates increase ecclesiastical power, but to encourage families to keep
p r o d uci ng ch i ld r e n regardless of a family’s abilit y to even marginally sustain itself is a monumental display of ignorance a nd a r roga nce. Unfor t u nately, it’s the same institution that suppresses educational information above family planning, birth control and other reproductive services. The Church has made progress over the past few years in protecting altar boys. It’s now time for the Church to start protecting women and their families. To make irresponsible parenthood a vir t ue and irrational human proliferation a duty, is not only profoundly repugnant, it is morally despicable. Our primary concern should be about the quality of life, not about the quantity of it. Borden Applegate Jackson

Use Open Space Tax To Actually Buy Land T h e vo t e r s of To m s R ive r ove r whel m i ng ly approved a nonbinding referendu m last fall to a l low t he t ow n sh ip t o p u r c h a s e a n o t h e r 2 50 acres of open space. I voted for this nonbinding referendum last fall and the original Open Space Referendum in 2001. I n order to pu rchase a not her 250 acres, t he Republican members of the Council now want to increase the Open Space tax by a penny per hundred of assessed value. This can only be done by placing a binding referendum on the ballot, but the Council doesn’t need to wait for the fall to add more money to the Open Space Fund. Fo r t h e l a s t s e v e n years, the all Republican Council has been taking $500,000 from the Open Space Fund and moving it into the General Budget. Over 3.5 million dollars has been taken out of the Open Space Fu nd over the last seven years that could have been used to purchase land. This is not what taxpayers voted for back in 2001. If you wa nt my vote fo r a n ot h e r p e n ny fo r Open Space, restore the $50 0,0 0 0 t o t he O p e n Space Fund and guarantee t he money collected will only be used to purchase land. Also put a sunshine clause in the new referendum that the Open Space Tax will disappear when there is no more Open Space to purchase. Nels Luthman Toms River

Marijuana Can Lead To Fatalities In response to the letter from Rev. Dr. Eric Hafner, published i n you r Jan. 13 edition, please do your homework. Rev. Dr. Hafner stated, “We should lega l i z e ca n n abis l i ke coffee, because no one has ever died from pot.” Ju st a q u ick G o og le search of “marijuana related deaths” yielded a number of links. To quote just a few: “A new study of marijuana drug use in Colorado found increases in marijuana-related traffic deaths, hospit al visits, school suspensions, lab explosions, and pet poisonings. The study was conducted by a federal government program. “The 166-page repor t released this month analyzed the effects of legali zi ng ma r iju a na for medical and recreational use in Colorado spanning the time period from 2006 to the present. Along with the state of Washington, Colorado is considered as something of laboratory in which the effects of legalizing marijuana use can be studied. “The study showed that
ing positive for marijuana i nc r e a se d 10 0 p e r c e nt from 2007 to 2012, with marijuana-related fatalities doubling from 37 to 78. Traffic fatalities total around 500 a year in the state.” (www.rt.com) CBSnews.com reported t he follow i ng i n 2014: “DENVER - This week, two Denver deaths were linked to marijuana use, and while some details of the deaths have yet to emerge, they are the first ones on record to be associated with a once-illegal drug that Colorado voters legalized for recreational use, as of January 1, 2014.” So, while possibly no one has ever died of a marijuana overdose, it is extremely erroneous and even more – dangerous – to say that no one has ever died from pot. Rev. Dr. Hafner, please, do your homework. Ruth Schmidt Manchester
We Shouldn’t Pump Our Own Gas Another stupid (in my opinion) bill in the works: “Pump your own gas.” I have motored through many states and pumped my own gas and still paid a higher price more per gallon than in New Jersey. T he “pitfalls:” pu mp your gas in rain or snow, accidently spill gas on your clothes, learn how to start the pump, picture older or i nf i r m people trying to get out to pump gas. Then there is the plus side for gas station owners: no payroll ( jobs) for those now to be unemployed ga s at tend a nt s. Your per gallon cost may not be lower, but you r medical insurance premiums may be higher due to “gas pumping accidents.” Bill McPhail Toms River

Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin Assemblyman David Wolfe 10th Legislative District - Serving Manchester
TRENTON - Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin of the 10th Legislative District announced their opposition to President Trump’s plan to allow for oil and natural gas drilling off the Jersey Shore. Executive Order No. 13795, which seeks to encourage oil and natural gas production along the Atlantic coastline, was signed by the President
10th District Lawmakers: Drilling Would Threaten Shore’s Economy, Ecology
last year. “For many years we have opposed any sort of offshore drilling in state waters,” said Senator Holzapfel. “Our economy relies heavily on the fishing and shipping industries as well as the billions of dollars generated each year from tourism. The impact of a single oil spill would permanently damage the ocean’s ecosystem and cause economic harm to all
states that border the Atlantic Ocean.” The legislators said that drilling for oil and natural gas would threaten both the ecology and economy of New Jersey. They will join as co-sponsors of legislation (S-258/A-839) prohibiting the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) from issuing any permits and approvals for the
development of any facility or infrastructure associated with offshore drilling in State waters or outside of state waters. “A proposal such as this would have devastating effects on New Jersey. The federal government must take into account the events of the past such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill which flooded the Gulf of Mexico with five million barrels of
oil. Drilling for oil and natural gas off the Jersey Shore isn’t worth the risk,” added Assemblyman McGuckin. Tourism is a $45 billion industry for New Jersey supporting more than half a million jobs for residents. The total value of coastal properties in the state is estimated to be $700 billion. The legislators warned that offshore drilling could cause catastrophic and lasting
economic effects that could harm both homeowners and visitors. “Our coastline is a national treasure which we must protect,” concluded Assemblyman Wolfe. “We join many other Shore legislators and officials in opposition to offshore drilling and we will continue to be at the forefront of this critical economic and environmental issue.”
$15 Million In Grants To Be Available To Replenish Ecosystems From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHI NGTON, D.C. - Soon, coastal New Jersey communities and organizations will be able to apply for grants from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for projects
building up local ecosystems and communities for future natural disasters and extreme weather. “We’ve all seen the devastation wrought by Superstor m Sandy on our beaches, coastal towns,
and communities along inland waterways,” Cong re ssma n Ch r is Sm it h (R-NJ) stated. “We’ve also seen the resilience of New Jersey residents in rebuilding from the disaster.” “I encourage all eligible applicants to consider applying for these NOAA grants, to ensure that when the next natural disaster strikes, we are better prepared for the devastation.” The NOAA will be awarding up to $15 million in grants in 2018 for “projects
that benefit coastal ecosystems and communities,” in its Coastal Resilience Grants Program. Eligible applicants for these project grants include colleges, for-profit and non-profit g roups, Nat ive A mer ican tribes, coastal towns and counties, and coastal states. The projects must take place in areas along the coastline or in a watershed connected with the ocean. Applicants must submit pre-proposals for projects
to the NOAA by March 7, 2018 to be considered in the 2018 grant competition; if they are r uled eligible by the NOAA, they then have 40 days to submit full project proposals. “Should they choose to apply, I encourage all applicants from my district to contact one of our local offices for a Congressional letter of support,” Smith stated. The contact information for the district offices of Rep. Chris Smith is listed

By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – As a thank you for letting them serve the community, Oliverie Funeral Home is promoting and supporting a new life-saving app. In an effort to invest back into the community, Oliverie requests that everybody with a smart phone download the Vital ICE app that will help our first-responders do their job in the event of an emergency. They have made the app available for free download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, just enter
their code: #2995. The app requires users to fill out personal information in case of emergency, and this can then be easily accessed by first-responders, if need be. This information is meant to help speed along the process, to send it directly to hospital staff from the app so that medical professionals can access personal health information easier. The app is available to everyone, no matter what age. For more information, visit vitalboards.com/vitalice.

–Photo courtesy Manchester Police By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – Police continue to probe a two-vehicle crash that occurred on Ridgeway Road, causing one vehicle to collide with a utility pole. On Jan. 29, police responded to the scene of the accident. A 17-year old female driver from Manchester in a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica was traveling eastbound on Ridgeway Road when 33-year-old Hassnaa Badra, also of Manchester, in 2003 Toyota Corolla entered into the roadway from a residential driveway. The female swerved to avoid hitting Badra, but ended up veering over the double yellow line, colliding with the Toyota in the westbound lane. The impact of the crash then sent the Chrysler onto the westbound berm and into a nearby utility pole. Both vehicles sustained significant front end damage. The utility pole was also damaged
in the crash. The 17-year old female complained of head and back pain but refused treatment at the scene and was later transported to a local hospital by a family member. Badra was driving with her two children, ages 4 and 5. Neither Badra nor her children were injured in the accident and she refused medical treatment on the scene as well. The roadway was closed for several hours following the accident. A detour was set up for traffic while JCP&L crews tended to the damaged utility pole. Assisting in this incident were members of the Manchester and Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Companies as well as EMTs from Quality Medical Transport. This crash is being investigated by Corporal Douglas Higgins of the department’s Patrol Bureau and Patrolman Ian Bole of the department’s Traffic Safety Unit.

Petco Foundation Invests In Caregiver Canines Life-Changing Work
TOMS RIVER – Caregiver Canines of Ocean County, New Jersey announced it has been awarded a $3,500 grant investment from the Petco Foundation to support its pet therapy programs for homebound senior citizens. Caregiver Canines is a nonprofit organization providing in-home therapy dog visitation to homebound senior citizens. The organization serves Ocean County and has partnered with the National Caregiver Volunteer Network to provide program guidance nationwide. Since 2009, Caregiver Canines has served over 100 care receivers with its corps of over 50 therapy dog teams. This grant was made possible through the Petco Foundation’s annual Helping Heroes fundraising campaign, in partnership with Natural Balance Pet Foods. Each October during the campaign, Petco customers are invited to donate online and in Petco stores across the country to support the life-changing work of service, therapy and working animals. The Petco Foundation investment will allow
certified therapy dog teams to provide comfort, affection, connection and joy to senior citizens that can no longer care for a pet. According to Lynette Whiteman, CVCJ Executive Director, “Losing the love and companionship of a pet is a devastating loss at any age. Especially hard hit are the elderly who often can no longer provide the level of care needed or afford all the associated costs with getting a new pet. Providing weekly visits with a caring volunteer and loving therapy dog brings an incredible amount of joy and creates wonderful long-lasting bonds of friendship and affection. We are very grateful to the Petco Foundation and Natural Balance for honoring and supporting the elderly in our community through this generous grant and on-going support.” For more information about Caregiver Canines or the Petco Foundation, visit caregivercanines.org or petcofoundation.org.

OCVTS Performing Arts Academy Presents Beauty And The Beast
LAKEWOOD – The Ocean County Vocational Technical School’s Performing Arts Academy (PAA) presents their production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, at the historic Strand Theater in Lakewood, February 22, 23, and 24. Once upon a time, a privileged Prince is punished for his selfish ways when an Enchantress casts a spell on the spoiled boy that imprisons him in the body of a Beast. His servants are also cursed to become the objects they take care of in the castle. They are all doomed unless the Prince can find true love. Young, beautiful Belle lives in a rather mundane village surrounded by the ordinary and pursued by an arrogant suitor. Belle gets through her dull days by spending time with her quirky, inventor father. He gets lost one
day and while taking refuge in an isolated castle he becomes a captive to the castle’s lonely master, the Beast. Belle finds Maurice and offers to become the Beast’s prisoner in exchange for her father’s freedom. With the help of the enchanted servants, Belle helps the Beast discover his inner kindness. But will it be enough to break the spell? There is a special Senior Citizen Matinee Performance at 4 p.m. on Thursday February 22. Tickets are only $14 and include a delicious boxed lunch served prior to the show, prepared by OCVTS Culinary Arts students!

There are countless things that can contribute to poor hearing health, from aging to loud noise, but one you may not be aware of is gender. A recent study found that the odds of hearing loss are 5.5 times greater in men than in women. Hearing and Overall Health Age-related hearing loss affects more than 60 percent of U.S. adults older than 70 years of age, and it has been associated with increased risk of hospitalization, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of functional and cognitive decline. The onset of hearing loss is gradual, with prevalence tripling from the age of 50 years to 60 years. Individuals who cannot understand or hear what others are saying sometimes choose to avoid social situations entirely, rather than ask others to repeat themselves — especially in situations where background noise is significant. Cardiovascular Disease The association between cardiovascular health and hearing health has never been stronger. It’s all about blood circulation throughout the body. The Ear, Nose, and Throat Institute believes that the link between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease is due to the inner ear’s sensitivity to circulation. The disease causes hardening of the arteries, which affects your circulation and, in turn, your hearing. Circulatory problems have the ability to affect any number of bodily processes, particularly in the most delicate areas of the body — like the cochlea, the delicate inner-ear organ responsible for sending sound signals to the brain. Conditions that restrict blood supply to the cochlea can
starve the inner ear of necessary oxygen and permanently damage hearing. Quit Hurting Your Hearing: Smoking We know that genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors help determine a person’s risk of hearing loss — and that includes smoking. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, cigarette smoking was determined to be a factor in the development of hearing loss. Current smokers are 1.69 times as likely to have a hearing loss as nonsmokers, and nonsmokers who live with a smoker are more likely to have a hearing loss than those who are not exposed to second-hand smoke. Those who smoke a pack a day for 40 years are 1.27 times as likely to have a hearing loss as those who smoke a pack a day for 10 years. Signs of Hearing Loss If you answer yes to some of the following questions, or can answer yes to them for someone else, it is time to see Dr. Izzy. Do you often ask people to repeat themselves? Is it hard to hear in groups? Do you feel like others mumble all the time? Do you have difficulty hearing what’s behind you (like someone talking to you or a car approaching)? Do you turn up the volume on the TV or car radio to a level others feel is excessive? Do you have difficulty understanding the person on the other end of the phone? Do you find going to restaurants or parties to be exhausting and frustrating? Don’t procrastinate and consider having a complete hearing evaluation!
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Chaos And Screaming Over Nutella By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I was perusing the week’s horrible news stories like the one about the Olympic doctor sex abuse case, and another about 11 school shootings this year. I read another on Xanax, and how it’s become rampant among college users, especially British teens! Shame on our world. Then, when it couldn’t get any more senseless, I saw how rioting broke out over Nutella in France. What’s in Nutella that would make people go ape crazy over it? People at supermarkets across France literally risked a broken nose to snag a jar of Nutella for 1.75 versus 5.85? The sale apparently triggered the chaos. Why the craziness? Was it over a few bucks? Does it speak to our lack of self-control? A food addiction? Let’s zoom in to see what’s in Nutella: • Hazelnuts - Nutella is supposed to have 90 to 95 hazelnuts in an average size jar. There are no peanuts in this. The hazelnuts are roasted and ground to create the smooth, delicious paste. Did you know that centuries ago, in France, the hazel plant was given as a wedding gift to symbolize fertility. • Sugar- Nutella brand includes pure cane sugar and/or beet sugar, and it’s non GMO. • Oil- Specifically red palm fruit oil which comes from the African tree, Elaeis Guineensis. • Cocoa powder- This is basically chocolate powder; think of it like you do hot cocoa. It’s processed, fermented and roasted. • Milk- skim milk powder, think of this like you do whey.
• Lecithin- A smoothing agent (emulsifier) and it’s derived from either soy beans or sunflower seeds. • Vanillin- It’s a type of synthetic vanilla for aroma and flavor. I’d like to propose a natural, delicious spread that tastes similar, but you can make it without risking your life (wink)! Easy Nutella Spread 3 cups organic hazelnuts, roasted unsalted 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips 1 tea vanilla extract 1/2 tea sea salt (Optional) Sweetener to taste Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If you bought the “roasted” hazelnuts, spread them on a cookie sheet. Cook them for about 5 to 10 minutes to warm them up and loosen their skins. Put them in a kitchen towel and roll them around to remove as much skin as possible. Put the cleaned/warm hazelnuts in a Vitamix and blend on low until a butter is formed. Melt the dark chocolate in a saucepan or microwave. Add the salt and vanilla. Continue to blend on low. Let it cool to room temperature, so it will thicken. You will probably want to add maple syrup, or honey. If you’re using one of these liquid sweeteners (this is a bit counter intuitive) but the more liquid sweetener you add, the stiffer it makes the nutella! You could try confectioner’s sugar (but add that before you process it). If your spread is too thick for your liking, add a teaspoon or two of some oil like grape seed, olive or almond oil. There you have it, nutella in the safety of your own kitchen!

Girls On The Run Of Central NJ Seeks Volunteers
NEW JERSEY – Girls on the Run of Central New Jersey is in need of more coaches to ensure that every girl in our service area will have an opportunity to participate in its transformative program this spring. This program is known throughout Middlesex, Somerset, Monmouth, Ocean and Camden counties for its positive youth development program designed to empower
local girls in 3rd through 8th grade Girls who participate in the program develop and improve competence, feel confident in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. It is the combination of the research-based
curriculum, trained coaches and a commitment to serve all girls that sets Girls on the Run apart from other after-school programs. A recent independent study conducted by Maureen R. Weiss, Ph.D., a leading expert on youth development, provides compelling evidence that Girls on the Run is highly effective at driving transformative
and lasting change in the lives of young girls. In 2017, the National Afterschool Association (NAA) selected Girls on the Run as one of the most influential programs in health and wellness. Girls on the Run of Central NJ, is in need of coaches in Middlesex, Somerset, Monmouth, Ocean and Camden counties. You don’t need to be a runner; you just need to be interested in connecting with, and empowering the next generation of young girls. Meeting twice a week for 75-90 minutes, volunteer coaches utilize the curriculum to engage small teams of girls in fun, interactive lessons. The program culminates with all teams in Central NJ participating in a celebratory 5K, either in Fair Haven on Sunday June 3 or in downtown Somerville on Sunday June 10. Volunteer coaches do not have to be runners but must complete a background check and participate in the Girls on the Run online and in-person training workshop. This training qualifies for continuing education credits. Girls on the Run of Central NJ, spring coach registration is now open. To learn more about empowering our local girls or register to be a coach mentor please visit gotrcnj.org/coach to sign up and get more information.

BILL’S UPHOLSTERY UPHOLSTERY BILL’S Slipcovers Are Our Specialty!!!
OCEAN COUNTY – Howell resident, Mary Ann Kiernan, has been chosen for inclusion in the forthcoming Trademark Women of Distinction Honors 2018 Edition for demonstrating dedication, leadership and professional excellence. Over the last 12 years, Kiernan has served in the addiction recovery field at America’s Keswick Colony of Mercy in Whiting; first, in the capacity of a Biblical Counselor, and in the past nine years, as the Intake Manager for the Colony of Mercy. The Colony is a Bible based addiction recovery program for men established in 1897. Kiernan was first introduced to the devastating effects of drug and alcohol abuse in her family in the 1990’s. After her son attended the Colony, she believed that she was called to give back and help others. Since her introduction to addiction, it has
become an epidemic. Although she retired in 2017, she is now a part of a core team hoping to launch an addiction ministry in her church, Bayside Chapel in Barnegat. The Trademark Women Honor described Kiernan as demonstrating dedication, leadership, and professional excellence in her experience with addiction; having compassion and expertise that set the standard in the industry; having humility and a personal touch that adds to every relationship she has; and being a talented, disciplined professional that has maintained a proven track record of quality service. Her years of service along with her level of expertise and several other factors led to her inclusion. She has made her mark on her profession as an expert and will become a part of history as one of the top professionals in her field.

Continued From Page 1 the reval does, is make everyone pay their fair share. “Everyone thinks their taxes will go up, and that’s not true,” he said. The rule of thumb is that one-third of property owners will see an increase, one-third will see a decrease, and one-third will stay the same. The town’s governing body will make the decision to either have a revaluation or a re-assessment. The difference between the two is that re-assessments are done in-house, and revaluations are done by an outside company. In 2012, Manchester started a re-assessment.
The Manchester Times, February 3, 2018, Page 23 This was at a time when home values had fallen. A lot of people had appealed their taxes to get them back in line with the going trend. Mayor Kenneth Palmer complimented Lynch on his work during this last re-assessment. After it was done, tax appeals went down significantly, “which means he did an excellent job,” he said. Manchester had another re-assessment, which started back in 2005. To compare the cost of a re-assessment versus a revaluation, the five bids for revaluation had come in between $1.2 million and $1.45 million, Lynch said at the time. By doing the work in-house, the township was estimated to save $600,000.

January is the time to consider whether to appeal your residential real estate taxes. This article will address some of the most commonly asked questions about tax appeals. The most important thing to understand about real estate tax appeals is what you can and cannot appeal. Under New Jersey law, you can only appeal that the assessment for your property is in excess of the property’s fair market value. The assessment is the municipality’s determination as to the value of your property. This determination is sent to each taxpayer around February 1 of each year in the form of a post card identifying the property and the current assessment. It is equally important to know what you cannot appeal. You cannot appeal the following: (1) the amount of taxes which you have to pay; (2) whether you can afford to pay the taxes; (3) that another person is paying less taxes than you; and (4) that the assessment of another property is less than yours. Thus, the local County Tax Board can only hear appeals that the property’s assessment is greater than its fair market value. The municipal tax assessment is entitled to a presumption that it is correct. It is up to the taxpayer to prove that the assessment is excessive. To do this, the taxpayer must present evidence to the Tax Board as to the correct fair market value of the property. This evidence should be
in the form of sales of comparable properties Marc S. Galella Esq. which occurred on or before October 1 of the year prior to the filing of the appeal. Since most people do not know how to obtain comparable sales, it is best to hire a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser to prepare an appraisal showing the comparable sales. The appraisal must be filed with the Tax Board no later than one week prior to the tax appeal hearing date. The appraiser should also be at the hearing to present the appraisal. In most cases all tax appeals must be filed no later than April 1 of each year. However, the appeal deadline may be earlier or later. It is best to check with the town as to the filing deadline. The filing deadline is strictly enforced and the failure to file by the deadline will result in the appeal being dismissed. Taxpayers seeking to file appeals should begin the process as soon as they receive the assessment card from the tax assessor. Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Overachiever Parent?
Dear Joel, I’d sure like to know why some parents go on and on about their kids. Most of us with our own families mention things worth mentioning, but some people feel they have to cite every detail of their child winning a game of hopscotch or running a playground race. You’d think they won the Olympic Gold! I’m sure others have found themselves in these conversations. Do you pretend to be interested or let your eyes glaze over? ANSWER: Early on, my wife and I decided to share only the most interesting or important details of ours kids’ lives with the people we knew casually. It’s better for a parent to be excited about a child than to not care at all, but some people
do go on and go on. Don’t try topping them with your own stories; that never works. Try saying things like, “You are very lucky, now tell me about your new job”, or “that’s wonderful, but we only have another few minutes together, so let me ask…” Just hold your breath. Fortunately, it’s usually just a phase. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

New Jersey Natural Gas Encourages Customers To Always Call 811 Before They Dig
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Natural Gas is reminding homeowners and contractors – whoever is going to dig – to call 811 at least three business days prior to excavating to ensure all public underground utilities are properly marked. It’s free and it’s the law. Careless digging can result in the disruption
of vital services, property damage, repair costs, fines and even injuries. According to the Common Ground Alliance, every six minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811. Every digging project requires a call to 811 and should only begin after the site has
Spring Completion
been marked. Dialing 811 will connect residents to New Jersey One Call, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators will then visit the dig site to mark the approximate locations of underground utilities with flags, paint or both.
Yellow indicates a natural gas line. “With spring here, and home and business owners eager to start outdoor projects, we strongly encourage everyone to call 811, no matter the size of the project” said Mariellen Dugan, chief operating officer at New Jersey Natural Gas. “Most importantly, by calling 811, homeowners and professionals are making an important decision that can help keep them and their communities safe.” During National Safe Digging Month, and throughout the year, NJNG encourages homeowners to take the following steps before beginning to dig: Always call 811 at least three, but not more than 10, business days prior to the start of digging, regardless of the depth of the dig or familiarity with the property. Before digging, confirm the markout has taken place. Yellow indicates the presence of underground natural gas lines. Respect all markings. Take a photo of the markout because inclement weather may wash away painted markings. Move the location of the project if it is near utility line markings. Dig with care – hand dig within two feet of marked underground utility lines. For more information about 811 and safe digging practices, visit nj1-call.org or the My Safety section of njng.com. In the event of damage to a natural gas pipeline immediately call 911 followed by a call to NJNG at 800-GASLEAK (427-5325).

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of february 3 - february 9
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week ahead overcome a tendency to be an over achiever. You may focus on being competitive rather than cooperative. Loved ones will accept an apology if briefly upset by your risk taking and unpredictable actions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wishful thinking is fine when you throw a coin into a wishing well, but not anywhere else. In the upcoming week don’t let your gullible side get the best of you. A new idea or person could be less than advertised. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): See the truth that sets you free. This week someone close may promise more than they can provide just to make you happy. Understand the facts and actual goals so that you won’t be lulled into a false sense of security. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There may be more than one worthy cause that requires your support and generosity. It is admirable to work hard to achieve recognition within a group. Avoid overspending or new investments this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Opportunities may sprout up but not all of them are worthy of your attention. Focus on long term results. Avoid forming a business partnership or making new investments in the early part of the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): String pearls of wisdom together to overcome problems. Your mind is racing like a finely crafted machine, but you must be careful not to offend anyone with your sharp wit. You could speed past the facts this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Separate the facts from your fancies. In the week to come you could easily be provoked into action due to a temporary enthusiasm. You possess plenty of energy but need to be sure that you apply it in constructive ways. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You get what you give. If you offer compliments others will respond in kind so that you receive encouragement, too. Be sure that you are sincere and able to honor any promises that you make in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Friends and family members can inspire you in the week to come. Take pride in your ability to remain tenacious about the job, the project, or a romantic relationship. Loyalty is the key ingredient for success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be anxious to attain your ambitions in the week ahead. By focusing on accuracy, you can gain the respect of those in charge. Watch out for your pennies, however, as your good taste is at a low point. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might be accustomed to having center stage but should lay low as this week unfolds. You might be on the outside looking in with financial matters. A new romance might not be as delightful as it seems. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll get by with a little help from your friends. The knack for both making and nurturing friendships could be your best asset in the week ahead. When financial skills are called for, you’ll be a friend indeed.

Summer In Winter: Enjoy The Warm Tastes And Colors Of Summer By Wolfgang Puck ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH YELLOW AND RED BELL PEPPERS Serves 4 4 large boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise in half 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra as needed Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1 yellow bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 2 bunches scallions 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 4 tablespoons dry sherry 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature Preheat the broiler. Coat the chicken breast pieces with a little oil. Place 2 pieces, spaced apart, in a large, heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm). Repeat with the remaining pieces. Lightly season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the yellow and red bell peppers under the broiler and cook, turning, until their skins are completely charred. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel off the charred skins. Cut each pepper into 8 pieces and remove the stems, seeds and veins. Set aside. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice cubes and water. Cut off the green parts of 8 scallions.
Immerse the 8 scallion greens in the boiling water for about 15 seconds, then remove them with tongs or a wire skimmer and transfer to the ice water. Drain and set aside. Place 1 scallion green and a piece each of the yellow and red bell peppers lengthwise on top of each flattened chicken piece. Starting at a narrow end, roll up to enclose the vegetables and securely tie each piece closed with 2 lengths of kitchen string. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When the oil is hot enough to swirl easily, carefully turn the skillet to coat its bottom. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the chicken for 15 minutes longer. Remove from the oven, use tongs to transfer the chicken to a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Cut the remaining scallions in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil. When it is hot enough to swirl easily, add the scallions and saute, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and sherry, and cook until reduced in volume by about two-thirds, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream and simmer, stirring, until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to very low and, a little at a time, add the butter, whisking continuously. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce into the centers of four heated serving plates or a heated platter. Snip off the strings from the chicken breasts, cut each piece crosswise into 4 to 6 slices, and arrange them attractively on top of the sauce.
