GERMAIN TAKES HIS SPOT AS CHIEF
By Kimberly Bosco BAR NEGAT – Bar negat Township Police Department recently experienced a change in command as Keith Germain, an officer with the department for over 24 years, took on his new position as Chief of Police on Feb. 1. Germain, a former lieutenant, replaced former acting chief Richard Dugan. Dugan was acting chief for the previous year following the sudden suspension of Arthur Drexler as chief back in 2016. Dugan has since retired, leaving the duties of chief to Germain. “So much of what’s made this transition seamless for me, is that he (Dugan) allowed me to do so much in the run-up to his leaving,” said Germain “That was a huge help.” Germain noted that during Dugan’s year as acting chief, they

By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – At the Feb. 13 council meeting, the council introduced the fi rst reading of an ordinance that would regulate and limit the use of plastic bags by local businesses, newspapers, and advertisers in Stafford Township. This was just the fi rst reading so it is not set in stone, however, the council hopes to adopt this ordinance after some fine tuning over the next few months, said Mayor John Spodofora. During public session, a few residents stood up to thank the council for in-
troducing an environmentally conscious proposal. One of them, a member of the Long Beach Island Garden Club, noted that the club is in full support of this proposal and even has some collected funds that could be used to contribute to the cause, by purchasing re-usable canvas bags to give away, for example. Another resident, Russ Davis of Breakers Drive in Ocean Acres, was not as enthusiastic about the proposed change. Davis questioned whether the size of Stafford’s environmental (Ban - See Page 20)

Ex-Mariner Swims To Victory By Chris Christopher Zack Molloy, the former Toms River High School North boys swimming standout, continues to win honors as a member of the Rider University Broncs. Molloy was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Men’s Swimmer of the Week for the third time this season. He captured the award for the third straight week. He won his latest honor after starring at the Big Al Invitational at Princeton University. He racked up four top-eight performances at the three-day event. In the individual events, the ex-Mariner was fifth in the 50-yard freestyle in 20.56, seventh in the 100 free in 44.95 and eighth in the 200 free in 1:40.97.
He was also a member of the 400 medley team that finished in 3:19.44. He split 48.15 in the 100 butterfly. His split would have placed him third in the 100 fly individual event at the meet. Molloy’s best effort in the 200 free came in the preliminaries in 1:38.00. All three of his times in the freestyle events are the best in the MAAC so far this season. “Zack sprinted well this weekend and he competed hard in spite of being sick,” Rider coach Steve Fletcher said on the Broncs’ website. “He fought through an extensive meet program, including relays on which he supported Rider in recording seed times for the MAAC Championships that will put us in the

Chief:
Continued From Page 1 daily basis now as chief is not so different from what he is used to, he noted. Germain noted that the department has many goals and objectives for the future; he plans to work towards modernizing the department’s headquarters and equipment, as well as increasing the police staff to accommodate for the growing population of Barnegat Township over the course of the next few years. Five-Year Strategic Plan Germain pointed out that the Barnegat Police Department has developed a Five-Year Strategic Plan for 2018-2022, in which it details some of the specific updates and goals that the department is focusing on. The plan incorporates six clear-cut goals for the department, including: a new police station, expansion of community policing, crime reduction, increased staff, a succession plan, and improvements in ethics and excellence. It is put together after a SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) that allows the department to assess both internal and external factors that influence the way that the agency protects and serves the community, according to the Five-Year Strategic Plan. According to a study on population trends in the Barnegat community, Barnegat has experienced exponential population growth since the 1970s. “(Barnegat) is well more than double its 1990 population of 12,235. Based on the population forecast issued in November of 2017 by the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, Barnegat’s population is expected to peak at 28,411 residents,” it stated in the plan. To accommodate for this growth, Germain noted that the department expects to increase the size of the force. As of now, the department is made up of 45 officers and 1 civilian employee. Germain said that, while the department is not currently hiring yet, they expect to start the expansion process by 2019. Technological Upgrades In addition to the goals set out in the plan, Germain also noted that the department is in need of certain technological upgrades. One of these would be an encrypted radio system. “Right now, when we talk over the radio, anyone is able to intercept, receive, and listen to those signals,” said Germain. He noted that affordable police scanners and certain apps allow civilians to intercept those signals. This causes concerns when first aid calls include personal medical information to be intercepted over these signals, he said. “Also it presents, I think it precludes, people reporting things to us,” he added. When people are aware that their personal information could be intercepted over police radio signals, they might have an issue calling the police to report, said Germain. On top of this, is that it proves an officer safety issue. “I don’t like the idea that people are able to get that extra advantage over knowing when we’re pulling up and knowing how people are headed to a call,” said Germain. The addition of an encrypted radio system to the department would eliminate these
The Southern Ocean Times, February 24, 2018, Page 5 concerns because it provides point to point communication, Germain explained. The department is also making digital upgrades to their storage system by going paperless. “Right now we have 29 file cabinets,” for storing documents, said Germain. Stored in the headquarters, offsite storage space, and mini storage units paid for by the town, the department hopes to eliminate these added costs and hassle by switching all stored documents into digital copies. It is required by law that all official reports and documents be stored for up to 10 years with the department. Because of this rule, the department is a bit over run with paperwork. According to Germain, the department began converting documents into an electronic format last year. “We’ve been building it into the budget… just taking a little chunk each year,” he said. Germain noted that this upgrade will help save space and make retrieving OPRA requests much easier. “We are hopeful that in 3 years,” we will have everything converted digitally, he added. Also, as part of the town’s surveillance system, Germain noted that a camera will
be added to Potomac Court in Barnegat. “If you look at where the camera coverage is there’s like one big gap in the coverage on Potomac,” he explained. The additional camera will help to close this gap to help further reduce crime in the area. New Police Station “We met with the architect yesterday (Feb. 14),” to discuss the plans for the new police station, said Germain. At a recent council meeting, the township council passed an ordinance allowing for a Feasibility Assessment to be conducted for the construction of the new town hall and police station, to be built with $15 million in bonds. The architect meets with all the department heads for a first assessment, to discuss what is needed for the new buildings, he explained. The new police station is expected to have some of the resources and facilities that the current station lacks, such as a sally port, an expanded cell block, and more work stations to accommodate the officers. “We will have a state of the art facility,” said Germain. The timeline for the project is tentative but,
according to Germain, within approximately six months the size and plan for the building will be complete allowing for bids to be made. Germain hopes to break ground on the construction come spring in 2019 and expects it to take approximately one year to complete the construction. Cops In Schools Germain also addressed the fact that Barnegat police are and will continue to be heavily involved in the Barnegat School District. “Every day, our day shift officers walk through every school,” said Germain. This serves a few different purposes, said Germain. First, it provides a non-patterned patrol of the school. “If somebody is maybe thinking about doing something, they don’t know what time the officer is going to show up,” he said. Second, this helps facilitate interactions between the school staffs and the officers, enabling better communication and information exchange. Lastly, this process helps the officers to learn the layout of all of the local schools. If ever an event were to transpire, the officers know their way around each and every school.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Kids Hit Home Run In Helping Others Since its inception in the early 1970s, Berkeley Little League has never turned a child away. As long as a true hardship could be verified, any child who wanted to play was welcomed and the fees were adjusted, waived and at times even board members chipped in to cover the cost. In 2016, Berkeley Little League was gifted a scholarship fund in memory of Anthony Marchese, the pop of one of their own players. Several deserving players have already been assisted through the scholarship fund, with several scholarships currently being awarded for the 2018 spring season. Last year, Berkeley Little League experienced a bit of a movement by our teen players. Inspiring each other, it suddenly became cool to give back and volunteer. All over the beautiful Moorage complex on any given day, you could find teenage players coaching a Tee Ball team, being a buddy for a player in the Challenger Division, or helping to maintain the fields. A league that was built upon and thrives on volunteerism enjoyed this new phenomenon - and delighted in the youth of the league’s dedication to
not only the sport, but the community and to each other. And if you thought that Berkeley would stop there, think again. When a few of our teen volunteers found out that one of our scholarship applicants not only needed fees covered, but due to circumstances as a result of family violence, he had left behind all of his treasured baseball gear, they knew what needed to be done. With a grant from the scholarship fund, they took the player on a dream shopping spree. Helmet, glove, bat, cleats, pants, jersey, and bag - all chosen by this young player with help from his new “baseball big brothers.” Then they took him out to lunch, where the topic of conversation was, of course, all things baseball. And before a single pitch is thrown in this 2018 spring season, Berkeley Little League just hit one heck of a dinger.

Letters To The Editor Don’t Arm Teachers If you have never worked in a school or qualified with a firearm please stop advocating that teachers should be armed. First, most of my colleagues have zero interest in carrying. Second, there is a much greater chance of having a negligent discharge or a misplaced weapon or a bad guy getting hold of that weapon than there is of that teacher using it to neutralize a threat. Third, when law enforcement makes entry how would they know that said teacher is not one of the bad guys? Fourth, even sworn law enforcement officers know that it is always a bad idea to be carrying in a crowd. When I was an MP and there was a fight at a bar and we responded, we were ordered to wait outside and handle it there. Running into a crowd poses weapons retention issues. Corrections Officers don’t carry inside a jail for the same reason. Fifth, school budgets are scarce as it is. Expecting them to pay for weapons, ammunition, range time and a stipend is simply not going to happen. Most schools don’t even arm their school safety personnel. Finally, the idea that more guns will make people more safe flies in the face of what the rest of the world is showing us. Schools should have multiple levels of security and be difficult to access. If an intruder tries to get in, these measures will buy time as the authorities respond. We also need to do a better job of enforcing the ‘see something say something’ mindset. Looking at other incidences of school shootings there are always indicators which weren’t appropriately reported or (in the case of Parkland) not appropriately handled once reported. I served four years in the Marine Corps and am a qualified expert with both rifle and pistol. If I wanted to still be a gunslinger I’d be a gunslinger, but I’m a teacher so these days I’ll stick to my compass, protractor,

Educators have enough to worry about and already wear many different hats to the children entrusted to our care. Let’s leave armed protection to the appropriate authorities.

Pumping Gas Is No Problem Your reader Bill McPhail in the Feb. 3 Jackson Times thinks that a Pump Your Own Gas Bill is “stupid” and suggests that older or infirm people would have a difficult time filling up because it would be hard to learn how to start the pump and then would spill gasoline on their clothes. Really? Are there no senior citizens in the other 49 states? Are the citizens of the rest of the country so much smarter than New Jerseyans in figuring out how to use the pump? And please, Mr. McPhail, let us know the numbers of all the “gas pumping accidents” occurring in other states. I have no problem if there are full service islands available at gas stations, but I should have the right to pump my own if I so choose. Robert Brooks Jackson
The Dems “Free Speech” Is To Censor I am FED UP with Democratic H & R. The rule of each day for these PC non-specific gender people is to ‘search and destroy.’ Their weapons: Hypocrisy and Ridicule. Their targets: Anyone whose disagrees with them or has a different opinion then they share. Since the sixties they have managed to take control of all forms of media, education, and are now advancing toward complete control by launching their final attack against society and the political theater. They have sufficiently indoctrinated enough children
logic. They have mastered the art of hypocrisy claiming free speech as their right while denying it to anyone who dares to disagree. They have taught their followers to voice their opinions while having no facts or information other then any distortion of reality they can conceive of, and when all else fails, attack them physically. Their predecessors, Adolf, Stalin, Chairman Mao, and let us not forget, Kim Jong-il, have set the stage and shown the way for the Democrats. They have taught them to indoctrinate the youth of America, to condemn others of doing what they themselves have done, to stifle any resistance by any means necessary, to attack on a daily basis and pound opposing thought into the ground until it has been wiped from the face of the earth, and to show false empathy for those they want to use for their own ends. From Chuck Schumer’s disingenuous tears to Nancy Pelosi’s grandchild’s birthday wish, their perverted distortions of reality make me sick! Racist, Xenophobe, Deplorable, no matter what is said or done by one who opposes them they label them with constant name calling. Their big one is: Racist. Everyone is a racist, well, the true racists are the Democrats because they use people of different races to gain power and control over them to advance their own agenda. They have forsaken the citizens of America for ‘Immigration Reform.’ “Why, the country was built by immigrants,” they spout, negating their illegal status while classifying them as ‘undocumented.’ Ask yourself a few questions: How many families would be left whole if the “undocumented” had been vetted and entered legally into the US? Do the “undocumented” live where Chuck Schumer lives? Are they at home in Nancy Pelosi’s neighborhood? Am I a “racist” because I support law and order and disdain those who cruelly take advantage of others only to advance their own ends? Bill Miele Whiting
Democratic Congressional Challenger Runs Right of Republicans
Monmouth County Democrats recently held a debate for their three potential challengers to 18-term incumbent Rep. Chris Smith. It was a great event which spotlighted the differences between the candidates, ensuring that voters could make an informed decision in the primary. To my surprise, one of the candidates, Josh Welle, consistently sided with the most conservative Republicans on many issues. On retirement, he took a position on the far right of the aisle, blaming Americans’ retirement problems on a lack of personal fiscal responsibility. He ignored the systemic issues that drive inequality, blaming those who don’t have money for not saving. He took an even more conservative position the Trump tax plan as well, stating we “had to” eliminate the SALT deduction. Rep. Smith himself voted against the tax plan, speaking out strongly against elimination of the SALT deduction which disproportionately hurts New Jersey residents. Welle supported ballooning defense spending — at a time when the country’s defense budget is larger than the next eight biggest nations’ combined — and went on to describe our military as “hollowed out.” The recent increase is historically enormous and is widely seen as a handout to defense contractors. Coincidentally, Welle co-founded a tech company, Severn Pacific, which contracts with the Department of Defense. Previously, in an essay for Harvard Business Review, he explained his view that war is a business opportunity. Welle expresses frustration at being labeled “Republican Light.” I suggest a solution to this problem would be to stop taking such strongly conservative positions. Jim Silverman Holmdel

Gove Appointed To Casino Revenue Fund Advisory Commission Capitol Comments Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove 9th Legislative District
TRENTON – Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove (R-9th) has been appointed to
serve on the Casino Revenue Fund Advisory Commission. The Casino Revenue Fund
was established under the 1977 law and constitutional amendment permitting casino gambling in Atlantic City. Revenue generated by casino gross receipts is deposited into the Fund for programs assisting seniors and persons with disabilities. The Casino Revenue Fund Advisory Commission was legislated in 1992 to provide
recommendations to the State Legislature concerning the Casino Revenue Fund utilization. “Ensuring that revenue is being utilized in the most effective manner possible is an obligation we must fulfill for those seniors and persons with disabilities who depend on Casino Revenue-funded programs,” said Assem-
blywoman Gove. “Such critical programs include Transportation Assistance for Senior Citizens and Disabled Residents, PAAD and the Statewide Birth Defects Registry. Assemblywoman Gove further remarked, “Serving on this Commission will dovetail with responsibilities as a member of the

MANAHAWKIN – On Feb. 11, over 125 special needs adults and children were greeted by almost 40 Elk Volunteers, Officers and Antlers, at the Manahawkin Elks Lodge #2340 for a Special Needs Valentine’s Dance. They were treated to a home-cooked lunch with all the fixings, followed by music and dancing. Each year the Elks Lodge hosts a variety of events for special needs adults and children, said Louis Fischer, member of the Manahawkin Elks Lodge. “The Valentines dance brings children and adults from all around the area to our Lodge to let them have fun, eat, dance and just be themselves,” he said. The volunteers set up tables, cook food and

Stafford Cops: Woman Fights Back During Robbery
By Jennifer Peacock STAFFORD – A 51-year-old Manahawkin man was arrested for an attack on a woman over the weekend, police said. Gilberto Rodriguez approached a 19-yearold woman in the parking lot of a Route 72 medical plaza around 9:45 p.m. Feb. 10. The woman, waiting for friends, was pulled from her vehicle after Rodriguez opened the driver side door. He demanded money, but Stafford police said she fought back. Rodriguez allegedly struck her in the face, which
drew blood. The man managed to steal her money and escape on foot. Officer Christopher Smith and his K-9 Ollie found a man matching Rodriguez’s description in the parking lot of Spirits liquor store. He was arrested and identified by his victim. Rodriguez was charged with second-degree robbery, second-degree burglary, simple assault and theft. He was then taken to the Ocean County Jail. The woman’s money was returned to her.

You Do Not Have To Be Tech Savvy, Just Social
Once you get the hang of it, social networking is really quite simple. All you need is a computer or mobile advice (like a Smartphone or a Tablet) and a functioning on-line signal. You may want a decent photo of yourself for your profile, but it is up to you. Depicted below are the major social media sites that are most popular with older adults. *Blogging – Many older adults are getting big into blogging. They are reading – and – writing – blogs about all kinds of subjects from sewing to sports to health and wellness. Audigy Certified providers even have their own blog – called HearingCareBlog.com – to keep all of our patients informed about the latest news in health, technology and tips for living full lives with better hearing. You can even leave comments, so it is a great way for us to stay engaged between appointments – visit Hearing Care Blog today to join the conversation. *Social Networking – EONS.com, facebook. com and twitter.com. EONS is the social networking site designed for “boomers” age 50 and over. Similar to facebook, it allows you to post messages and photos, join interest groups and discuss boomer issues and keep in touch with family and friends. Facebook.com is by far the most popular social networking site used by 41 percent of the population in the U.S. You can create a personal profile for yourself and ask others to “become friends” and link with you. Many people will also ask you to be their friend as well. It is up to you how many people that you want to connect with. You and all of your contacts can share messages, photos videos and links. Additionally, many businesses have profiles where you can find out about up to the minute news and Facebook-only discounts when you like “like” them. Twitter is a free social networking site designed for quick, short messages that are shared among
your network of contacts. The messages, known as “tweets” must be no longer than 140 characters and can include links to other messages or online sites. Once you set up a profile, you can follow the “tweets” of others. They can follow your “tweets” as well if you allow them. Twitter is a great way to stay in touch with family, friends, business and interest groups. A variety of media sharing sites include Youtube. com, flicker.com.

6 Cosmetic Secrets To Get Gorgeous Fast
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
No matter what your age, you always want to look your absolute best. Throughout my life, I’ve learned all kinds of beauty tips and tricks from reading, talking to friends, and getting to know a few make-up artists when I appeared as a guest on TV shows. I always ‘pumped’ these girls to get their secret beauty tips while sitting in their chair and getting made up. I recall one lady who made me look amazing even though I hadn’t slept in 2 nights! She brought me to life with a few tricks, which I’ll share today. 1. Get Rid of Red If you put an ice cube into a paper towel and apply it under your eyes for 5 minutes, the red puffiness of ‘bedroom eyes’ will vanish for a little bit. Then you can apply your eye cream and concealer and look fresh and happy. 2. Curl Your Lashes Like the Pros I don’t use eyelash curlers ever, they freak me out, but I know a lot of you do! A makeup artist once told me her secret. She said to warm up your eye lash curler for a few seconds with the hair dryer. It needs to be warm not hot or you’ll burn yourself, and I feel bad telling you something that is obviously common sense. So anyway, be careful… the point is that a slightly warmed eyelash curler works better. She said its effect is akin to a curling iron on your hair. 3. Hide Insomnia After a 20-something hour flight from South Africa I had to land, get through customs, get over to the Dr. Oz studio and tape a segment. I looked rough. She made me
up and luckily I had my best tool, a white eyeliner pencil. Just be careful putting it on because it goes in an awkward area called the waterline. So, first apply your normal darker eyeliner where it goes, then apply the white eye-liner in the waterline. It’s across your top rim on your lower eyelid. Google waterline if necessary. 4. Fresh Eyes Homemade gel under eye masks are one of my favorite treatments for puffy eyes. You make these yourself with gelatin, which is rich in collagen. Here is a DIY recipe for a de-puffing eye mask. The green tea imparts a touch of caffeine which helps remove dark circles: Mix together one tablespoon chilled Manuka honey with one tablespoon prepared green tea. Add unflavored gelatin powder to desired consistency. Spoon onto a cucumber (sliced in half) and apply under your eyes for 10 minutes. 5. Shiny Hair You can take 10 years off your age by making your hair soft and shiny again. Whisk one banana and one egg together and apply to wet hair after shampooing. Leave on for about 3 to 5 minutes then rinse. 6. Glowing Skin Soak a clean face cloth in a cup of cold milk that has 3 drops of essential oil of lavender. Wring out and drape the cloth over your face. Relax with it for 10 minutes then rinse your face, tone and moisturize like normal. This brightens and moisturizes your skin, giving you a luminous glow and relaxed sensation.

Waretown Creek Bridge Replacement Project Begins
By Kimberly Bosco WARETOWN – A new project to replace the Route 9 bridge over Waretown Creek in Ocean Township is now underway, according to New Jersey Department of Transportation officials. The project will replace the current bridge located between Bryant Road and Birdsall Street. The bridge, built in 1925, has been deemed structurally deficient. The current bridge is 75 ft. long, including the approaches, and sees about 19,175 vehicles every day, according to the NJDOT. The $3.1 million project will be completed in stages so as to minimize traffic disruptions. First, traffic will be directed to the northbound lane as the fi rst step of construction is to reinforce the southbound side to hold heavier traffic during construction. Traffic will then be shifted to the southbound side, leaving one lane of traffic open
while construction is going on the northbound side of the bridge. Northbound traffic is to be detoured during this process. The NJDOT noted that construction on the northbound side should be complete by the end of this year, and the new side of the bridge opened up to two-lane traffic. The reconstruction of the southbound side of the bridge will begin in the spring of 2019, according to the NJDOT, and be fi nished by summer of 2019. The construction process officially began as of Feb. 12 when the NJDOT’s contractor, Earle Asphalt began redirecting traffic to begin the strengthening construction to the southbound side. NJDOT will provide updates on any traffic shifts, detours, or schedule changes as work progresses. For more information on the progress of the bridge project, check NJDOT’s traffic information website 511nj. org for real-time travel information.

Inside The Law Drone Rules
Robert C. Shea Esq.
What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun? By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft! You don’t need permission from the FAA to fly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always fly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required. The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: •Fly at or below 400 feet •Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions •Stay away from surrounding obstacles •Keep your UAS within sight •Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports •Never fly over groups of people •Never fly over stadiums or sports events •Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires •Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft. The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: •The aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); •The aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; •The aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered by a community-based organization;
•The aircraft is oper- Michael J. Deem ated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and •When flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained fl ight in the atmosphere, flown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes. UAS Registration. If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: •Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds •Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and •Read and understand all safety guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are flying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.” In order to register, you must be: •13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) •A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Ban:
Continued From Page 1 footprint would even make a difference with this ban. To this, Councilman David Taylor said: “It has to start somewhere.” One of the aspects of the ban addressed in the ordinance clarifies where the line is drawn between banned and acceptable plastics. It explains that “no business or store shall provide any single-use, plastic carryout bags to a customer…for the purpose of transporting products.” It also identified some exceptions to this rule, including: • Bags used for bait • Bags for produce, meat, fish, poultry, frozen foods, f lowers, deli, etc. • Bags used for live fish • Dry cleaner and door hanger bags • Garbage liners • Bags for pet waste • Customers using food assistance programs If the proposal passes, then local businesses have up to 120 days following passage to use their existing supply of plastics before they must switch over. “Any person guilty of violating a provision of this article shall be liable for a fine of not less than 5 dollars and not more than $500 for each day of such violation,” it stated in the ordinance.
The incentive behind this change is to “help keep our environment clean,” said Councilwoman Sharon McKenna. Taylor mentioned that other local areas that have already adopted or are considering a similar plastic bag ban include Harvey Cedars, Surf City, Long Beach Township, and Barnegat Light. Harvey Cedars held a meeting on Feb. 2 to gauge public opinion on a bag ban, which if passed, will go into effect in June. A number of states, municipalities and counties in the US has also adopted measures to protect the environment against this plastic, whether it is an outright ban or just additional fees for plastic. Places such as Hawaii, California, and even the Borough of Longport in New Jersey have taken official action to combat the plastic problem. “If we see a problem, we have an obligation to fix it,” said Spodofora. He said that he hopes Stafford’s engagement in the issue can spur more wide-spread action, perhaps throughout the county or state. The ban is meant to protect the environment and the public health, welfare, and safety and aims to “find a solution that benefits both businesses and residents,” said McKenna. On the first reading of the ordinance, all council members approved except Councilman William Fessler, who abstained.

Diesel’s owner said that she had rented a room at Russo’s home, and had left the dog
alone in the house with him at around 1 a.m. on May 30, 2016. When she returned a few hours later, Russo had told her Diesel died of a seizure, police said.

Flu:
Continued From Page 1 and long-term care facilities,” said Dr. Tina Tan, state department of health assistant commissioner and state epidemiologist. While it’s announced on a Google or print calendar, flu season is usually recognized as starting in October or November, and stretching through to May. While it’s not impossible to catch the flu in the spring and summer
months, the warm weather that draws people outside is a killer for the bug. This flu season has been dominated by the AH3N2 strain, which is associated with more severe seasons. The virus poses the greatest threat to young children and those 65 and older, but as Tan said, it sends persons of all ages to the ER. “This season there has been a large number of influenza outbreaks in long term care facilities with more than half of newly report

outbreaks for this season have occurred in the last three weeks. We have surpassed the number of outbreaks reported for the last three influenza seasons including the 2014-2015 season,” said Dawn Thomas from the Department of Health’s Office of Communications. Only pediatric influenza deaths are reportable. So far, there have been three deaths reported. In the last five years, the 2012-13 flu season saw the most pediatric flu-related deaths, with seven reported. Last season,
there were no reported pediatric flu deaths. Predicting what virus will dominate a season or why some years are seemingly worse than others is fool’s errand, officials said. “Flu in general is pretty unpredictable, so we can’t really predict why one strain might predominate one season over another,” Tan said. Ocean County Influenza throughout Ocean County has been widespread since early December, the county department of health reported. OCHD’s Brian Rumpf confirmed that it’s the H3N2 strain that is hitting the county hardest. “It’s not necessarily worse, the worst that we have seen by any stretch. It’s a bad strain of the flu, and its hit everywhere at once,” Rumpf said. “And this year has had a few other anomalies that have truly caused the flu to be a lot more concerning to a lot of people. Among those anomalies are that this year, the flu is found to be very widespread virtually everywhere in the United States. So we are seeing wide-scale reporting of the flu everywhere from Florida to Alaska and all points in between. That’s somewhat atypical, as usually we’ll see flu hit different pockets of the country at different times of the flu season. That makes it more noticeable, and it’s caught our attention for that reason,” he said. Rumpf continued: “Also this year, most authorities would agree that the flu seems to have started somewhat earlier. There were reports of widespread flu activity as early as November. What that means is that it really had the opportunity to spread during the social holiday season and that simply compounded the number of people who were affected as they traveled back home from the holidays.” With all the cold weather, people have stayed indoors, which makes them more likely to share and spread any illness. Rumpf said vaccinations are still available. The fee is being waived. For the schedule, visit bit.ly/2CtS1m0. Monmouth County “According to the Centers for Disease Control - All U.S. states but Hawaii and Oregon continue to report widespread flu activity and the number of states experiencing high influenza-like illness (ILI) activity increased from 42 states plus New York City and the District of Columbia to 43 states plus New York City,” Christopher P. Merkel, Public Health Coordinator for the Monmouth County Department of Health, said. “Locally, New Jersey is currently experiencing widespread influenza activity throughout the entire state. Monmouth County is also experiencing high flu activity at this time.” The county’s department of health staff has been working diligently to provide information to its citizens about the severity of this flu season, as well as tips to reduce the risk of exposure, Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto said. He’s liaison to the Monmouth County Health Department. “The Monmouth County Health Department would like to remind residents to wash their hands, cover their cough and stay home from work or school if they are sick,” Impreveduto said.

A partner may be especially thrifty. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take baby steps. It might not be a lack of ambition, but feeling the weight of responsibilities that prevents you from trying to get ahead. Be a perfectionist about ethics in the week to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It may not be fun, but it will be dependable. Rather than being restless for thrills be grateful for a steady diet of the same-same-old that you can rely upon as the upcoming week unfurls.

The pennies you often spend here and there on little things could mount up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is difficult to be carefree when locked into a serious mood. Give in to sentiment and put family pictures in order. Make your home a pleasant, restful haven as the week progresses.

Important decisions may be made with little effort if you are patient in the upcoming week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Double The Fun: Celebrate Chinese New Year With Some ‘Fireworks’ By Wolfgang Puck CHINOIS SEARED SCALLOPS WITH JALAPENO-TOMATO SALSA Serves 2 For the jalapeno-tomato salsa: 2 shallots 6 to 8 small yellow tomatoes or small red tomatoes 1 red or green jalapeno chile, stemmed and seeded 2-inch (5-cm) piece slender English cucumber, peeled 1-inch (2.5-cm) piece carrot, peeled 1-inch (2.5-cm) piece daikon 1-inch (2.5-cm) square piece red bell pepper 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or lime juice 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 tablespoons sake For the seared scallops: 10 or 12 sea scallops 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root 1 teaspoon minced onion 1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeño chile Peanut oil Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup (60 mL) mixed fine strips of daikon, carrot, and red bell pepper, soaked in ice water First, prepare the salsa: Cut the shallots, tomatoes, jalapeno, cucumber, carrot, daikon and bell pepper into very small cubes, 1/8 inch (3 mm) or smaller. In a small nonreactive bowl, combine the vegetables and cilantro with the peanut oil, vinegar and lemon or lime juice. Stir in the soy sauce and sake. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. For the scallops, if necessary, use a small, sharp knife to trim off the any tough white connective tissue on their sides. Heat a small saute pan over high heat. Add a little peanut oil and saute the garlic, ginger, onion and jalapeno for a few seconds until fragrant. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle the scallops with a little salt and pepper. Use a teaspoon to spread a little of the sauteed mixture on top of each scallop. Over high heat, heat a medium-sized saute pan large enough to hold the scallops in a single layer. Add enough peanut oil to coat the bottom. When the oil is hot enough to shimmer, add the scallops and saute just until they are seared golden and feel springy to a light touch, no more than 30 to 40 seconds per side. Spoon the salsa onto two serving plates. Arrange the scallops on top. Drain the mixed vegetable strips, shaking off excess moisture, and arrange attractively on the plates as a garnish. Serve immediately.
