By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – A 72-unit affordable housing complex was approved unanimously by the Planning Board members after a lengthy discussion.

The April meeting of the Planning Board had continued testimony for Howell Family Apartments, LLC that was carried over from the prior February 15 meeting. The affordable housing complex is to be located at Block 135 Lot 26, at the intersection of West Farms Road and Fort Plains Road in Howell. The proposal was approved by all 6 present board members. Members including Chairman Robert Nash, Police Chief Andrew J. Kudrick Jr., Thomas Russo and Paul Schneider were all excused from being present at the meeting.

comprised of 72 rental units within nine two-story buildings, an office and community building, a recreational area, and a maintenance building, according to Edmond Speitel Jr., Land Development Manager for The Walters Group, at the Feb. 15 meeting. It is also expected to have a 2,900 square foot clubhouse, 14 one-bedroom units at approximately 800 square feet, 43 two-bedroom units at approximately 1,100 square feet, 15 three-bedroom units at approximately 1,300 square feet, and 143 parking spaces. Some causes for concern among residents at the previous meeting were the use of Superstorm Sandy monies to fund the project and its proximity to a neighboring farm owned by a Howell resident, among others. Residents voiced concerns over whether Sandy victims would receive priority in the selection process for housing if Sandy funds are to be utilized for the project. Officials remarked that they would. At this month’s meeting, further concerns regarding the fire safety precautions taken within the site plan were brought up by attorney Ronald S. Gasiorowski. Gasiorowski represents Howell resident John Bonevich in litigation over the project. “We know that the site complies with the RSIS [Residential Site Improvement Standards]; we don’t know whether it complies with the health, safety, and welfare of this community as far as fire protection is concerned,” said Gasiorowski. Gasiorowski referred to a letter from the Howell Township Fire Bureau that contained language suggesting concern

The Howell Times, April 14, 2018, Page 5 over the width of the traffic lanes in the complex. The letter noted that the lanes should be 30’ wide as dictated by the zoning ordinance of Howell Township. However, they are only 24’, which although complying with RSIS, may cause accessibility issues for fire safety personnel and equipment. Gasiorowski read from the letter, stating worry that the fire bureau would be “unable to protect this community from the ravages of a fire,” due to the site plan. The Walters Group representative John Giunco called Gasiorowski’s concerns an “entirely irrelevant line of questioning.” Gasiorowski inquired whether The Walters Group ever considered exceeding RSIS to accommodate for certain fore safety measures. To this, no one had a definite answer. In addition to fire safety issues, Gasioroswki also suggested that the community building, maintenance building, and fitness center planned to be a part of the affordable housing complex were not considered residential uses. Traffic engineer John
McCormack said that he did not know whether any of these structures would be considered as such. Following Gasiorowski’s testimony, many Howell residents took to the microphone to voice further issues with the project. First up was Tricia Kelly of Fort Plains Road, resident on the adjoining property to the affordable housing complex location. Kelly remarked at the previous meeting that she wanted a barrier between her property and the project because she wants to keep her property private and protect her animals. At the April 5 meeting, she requested that an 8 ft. privacy fence be constructed as a solution to this. “Twenty-three years I have been a resident [in Howell],” said Kelly. “My quality of life…gone, as I know it with 200 people living next to me.” Another resident, Kathryn Leibel, made a point to inquire how testing was ever done to determine that certain vehicles (fire safety included) would fit into the complex if the project planners were unaware of the specific size of fire safety vehicles in the township, a point which was made by
Gasiorowski earlier in the evening. “Let’s have them adjust it so that it’s more feasible for emergency vehicles to get through,” she said. “If you put all those apartments, it’s going to be a lot busier and there’s going to be a lot more accidents,” at the corner of West Farms Rd. and Fort Plains Rd., said resident Carmine Longo. Public comment stretched on for over an hour, taking the meeting into its fourth hour of the evening. “The only way you can come to an informed decision regarding this, is to listen to your fire officials,” said Gasiorowski in his final comments before a vote was had. When the time came to make a motion to approve, the board was mostly silent. Former Mayor William Gotto was the first to speak up. “I understand that this is probably the most difficult project for our town and our community to have listened to,” said Gotto. “As a member of the planning board, I haven’t heard any justifiable reason…to consider not to approve this.”

Singer, Dancer: Winery Event Program Could Be Extended
TRENTON - Legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer (R-30th) to extend a pilot program that allows local wineries to hold special events on preserved farmland has passed the Senate Economic Growth Committee. “New Jersey’s wineries have the potential to generate thousands of local jobs,” Senator Singer said. “There is a proven economic benefit to encouraging these beautiful businesses to host special events, such as a wedding. This legislation will spur agriculture tourism and create
a level of stability for this rapidly-growing industry.” Senator Singer chose to sponsor S-2127 in order to protect and sustain the agricultural harvest of farms, support local wineries, and attract residents and visitors to experience New Jersey’s vineyard industry. New Jersey’s vineyards contributed more than $232 million to the state’s economy in 2016, according to a recent economic impact study. Singer’s bipartisan bill, S-2127, would extend a state pilot program that allows
wineries to hold events on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. Special events often include weddings, birthday parties, and other milestone celebrations, social, or cultural events. The 2014 pilot program expired on March 1, 2018. The bipartisan bill extends the period of hosting special events at local wineries for an additional two years. S-2127 would keep the pilot program active, which will benefit New Jersey’s vineyards, and the people who may choose to hold a wed-
ding or another special event at a Garden State winery as a result of this legislation. “If we don’t extend this pilot program for wineries, employers and customers alike will pay the price,” Senator Singer said. “Extending this program will safeguard the livelihoods of thousands of local residents and ensure people can hold their special event in the venue of their dreams.” The assembly version of this was already extended. According to Assemblyman Ron Dancer (R-12th), the
Assembly approved A2787 which would extend the pilot program. We do a good job promoting agricultural tourism and this pilot program is part of that effort,” said Dancer. “Extending it will give us more time to understand how well it’s working, what improvements may be needed and whether the program should be made permanent.” The 2014 pilot program expired on March 1, 2018. Dancer’s bill extends it for an additional two years retroactive to its expiration date.
“New Jersey is the sixth highest wine producing state in the nation,” Dancer explained. “The success of this program can further bolster the industry.” The Garden State’s wine industry contributes $323 million to the economy. The program permits special events at wineries that use their products to promote agricultural tourism. Events must be held in an existing building, pavilion or temporary structure, such as a tent, and account for less than 50 percent of the winery’s revenue.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL “Fake News” Is Affecting Everyone. Even You. How m a n y t i m e s have you scrolled through social media and just shook your head at what someone shared? People who you thought were intelligent are showing their t r ue colors by shar ing some really stupid things. I don’t want to call anyone out by name, but I have even seen our local elected off icials be misled by something they saw on what they thought was a legitimate news site. T hat’s why I wa s happy to see the Brick l i b r a r y ho s t a p r o gram on how to determine real news from fake. Kudos to them. “Fake news” is not someone else’s problem. Everyone thinks that their news sites are legit and the opposit ion is not. Everyone questions information they don’t ag ree w it h but w ill a g r e e w h ole - h e a r te d ly w it h what eve r information confirms their beliefs. There’s even a term for this: confirmation bias.
I k n ow t h a t I’m inviting criticism by publishing this in a newspaper, but you should k now t hat we always strive for fairness and accuracy. Most of the reporters I’ve worked w it h at ot her local papers do so as well. Mistakes do happen, but t he r e i s a d i fference between an honest mistake and i n t e n t io n a l l y m i s leading people. If you find something that you want t he world t o k now about, pause a second before you h it that “Share” button. I s t he i n for m at ion too good to be true? O r t o o o n e - s id e d? Or, did you not even read the whole thing before sharing? Please, t a ke a second to really process wh at t he a r t icle is tr ying to make you feel. Because someone is shaking their head at what you’re sharing, too. Chris Lundy News Editor

“Feel Good” Bills On Firearm Restrictions On March 26, the New Jersey Assembly voted on six bills concerning the regulation of fi rearms. The bills are simply “feel good” bills which will have a net zero effect on public safety in New Jersey. They all passed Assembly and are headed to the Senate. The Senate has the opportunity to be more thoughtful and re-review these flawed proposed laws. In New Jersey, we are already under some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. Yet, with those strict gun control laws, we have cities with some of the highest crime rates in the United States: Camden, Trenton and Newark. Further gun control measures only hurt the law abiding citizen, as criminals have no respect for the law as it is already written. A breakdown of the bills are as follows: A2671 (Magazine Ban/ Gun Ban) - Restricting the magazine capacity down from 15 to 10 rounds. This bill does nothing to add to public safety. Recent shootings and past shootings have been done with 10 round magazines. The Clinton Gun Control measures that restricted fi rearms to 10 rounds nationally for a decade yielded no appreciable positive effect. Further, there is no concession in the bill to reimburse gun owners for their personal property when it becomes illegal. A1217 (No-Notice Suspension of Gun Rights) - This bill, while seeming well-intentioned, removes the due process of our rights. It is a breakdown of our 4th Amendment Rights. Police can already seize fi rearms from dangerous persons. This is a dangerous bill that can lead to the harassment of gun owners based on personal feelings. A1181 (Allows Suspension of Gun Rights by Unac-
Letters To The Editor countable “Health Profesillegal fi rearms are trans- p.m., the plow comes and sionals”) - This bill is too broad and will lead to a system where mental health professionals will deny the rights of citizens based on the possibility of liability. The recently signed into law by President Trump, fi x NICS bill, will essentially mitigate many of the problems we have with our background checks and also act as a bridge between mental health professionals and the FBI reporting system. A2758 (Kills Self-Defense) - Taking the current unconstitutional code of Justifiable Need and making it stat ute will only blaze the way for a stronger lawsuits against NJ. As enumerated in Heller, you cannot regulate rights on a case by case basis. The only people in New Jersey that get Concealed Carry Permits are former police, security guards and the politically connected. A2759 (Bans Ammunition That is Already Banned - Concerning armor piercing ammo, this is a moot, feel good legislation. The ammo is already banned. A 2757 ( Ba ck g r ou nd Checks on Sales That Already Require Background Checks) - This bill makes it so private sales require an FFL and background check in order to go forward. You need to pass a background check to get an FID card, in the event of a shotgun or rifle private sale. You need to pass a background check to get a pistol permit in order to execute a private pistol transfer. This is redundant and going to add cost to the law abiding gun owners. As it is, NICS is supposed to be federally funded and free to the consumer. NJ imposes a fee for this service (WHY?) If the NICS check was free and available to all gun owners without the use of an FFL, this bill would make sense a little…it is redundant and will do nothing to mitigate criminal use of fi rearms. It has been proven already that the gross majority of
ferred into the state, not through private sales between NJ citizens. Further, gun runners are regularly released on the bail reform program. How about locking up the real criminals and gun runners? As citizens of New Jersey, you need to look closely what the legislature is doing. It does not matter what side of the fence you are on, this is about restricting the rights of law abiding citizens. Our rights are in peril and don’t think that other rights such as freedom of speech and freedom from search and seizure are immune from this habit of unconstitutional behavior. Take a chance to ponder this and maybe call, write, fax or email your legislator inquiring about their views on your rights as a tax payer. The Assembly failed us... Maybe the Senate will hold up to their oath of office where the Assembly did not: “I do solemnly swear (or affi rm) that I will support the Constit ution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and to the Governments established in the United States and in this State, under the authority of the people; and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of Senator according to the best of my ability. So help me God.” John J. Petrolino III Howell
Snow Plows: Friends or Foes? If your home faces west in a snow storm you’ll get 24” on your driveway or even more, while your neighbor across the street might get 8” at most. So you shovel about three or four times, about 1.5 hours each time to clear your driveway. You shovel about 6 hours so you can get out. Then at about 10 or 11
pushes about 6 tons of snow against your driveway. So it takes you about two hours to clear that mess. Then, just as you get in your home, you hear that damn plow again. Just think, these plow guys that are trying to give you a heart attack are paid with your tax dollars! Do you know your mayor’s number, email, or address? Maybe it’s time to give him or her a message! Fred Martone, Sr. Brick, NJ
Watch Votes On Gun Laws Last month, the New Jersey Assembly passed a package of measu res to address the continuing gun violence that kills an average of 35,000 Americans each year. Hopefully, these common sense measures will be passed by the Senate and signed by the Governor. Zero doubt, gun violence in America is a complex issue and there are no quick fixes. However, the Assembly’s measures will undoubtedly help keep inappropriate weapons and ammunition out of the hands of irresponsible persons. Given the escalating epidemic of gun violence, it is very difficult to understand why Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer (12th District) did not support any of the measures passed by the Assembly. He voted against five measures (A1181, A1217, A2757, A2758, A2761) and abstained from voting on the bill (A2759) which bans handgun ammunition that has the capacity to penetrate body armor. Assembly man Dancer’s votes clearly defi ne his position on guns. When he is up for re-election, our votes should ref lect his voting record on gun violence legislation. Time for change in the 12th District. Luke Stango Jackson

Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation To Distribute $6,000 In Scholarships
POINT PLEASANT BEACH – No parent, anywhere, should have to bury their child. It’s just not the “Circle of Life.” Robert & Joan Morrissey, of Point Pleasant Beach had to experience this tragedy for their son, Christopher on April 5, 2011. Since that time, they have established a foundation in their son’s name to assist families who have been affected by the loss of a child. In addition, they provide yearly scholarships to deserving high school seniors, and, in 2015, added a mission to provide our local youth groups with early drug and alcohol awareness and prevention. Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation, Inc. is accepting applications for this year’s annual scholarship awards. The amount of $6,000 is available to graduating students from Howell High School, Point Pleasant Beach High School, and St. Rose High School, Belmar. Applications are available online at christopherjmorrisseyfoundation.org
under the Scholarships tab. Last year, the Foundation distributed $6,000 in scholarships and since its inception, has distributed over $36,000 in scholarship awards. The scholarship is also open to members of the Foundation and their children. “We want to invest in our Future, and supporting deserving high school seniors to prepare for our future is a wonderful way to give back to our communities.” said Walter Gogerty, Scholarship Chairperson. After seven amazing years, building and serving its Missions, the Foundation has been extremely fortunate to have new opportunities presented to them. In 2016, the Foundation has established a monthly support group for Mothers who have lost a child in Wall Township. The Christopher J Morrissey Scholarship Foundation, Inc. is a Federal and State registered tax-exempt non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and charity.

FHS Computer Science Seniors Win Stockton University Computer Science Competition
FREEHOLD – More than 200 high school students put their computer science skills to the test at Stockton University’s third annual Computer Science Teachers Association-Souther n New Jersey Computer Science Competition on Friday, March 16. After more than two hours, just one team successfully solved all eight problems. That group was a trio of seniors from Freehold High School’s Computer Science Magnet Program. The team of Melissa Hoff, Kaitlyn Laohoo, and Mike Chunko took first place in the competition, winning trophies for themselves and their high school. “We split up the problems based on our strengths and then helped each other,” Laohoo said. “The problems were challenging, but not so hard we couldn’t do them.” A second Freehold team of junior Jack Shea, senior Sal DiMaggio, and senior Zachary Isaacson took third place. Eighteen high schools from around the state participated in this year’s event. The FRHSD’s Computer Science Magnet Program is a four-year program of
study for students who wish to explore computer science or computer engineering as a career path. Students take at least one computer science course each year and a specialized mathematics course during the first two years of the program. The goals are to give students a solid and rigorous background in computer science principles and requisite mathematical skills to build proficiency in problem-solving techniques of computer science, and to provide graduates with the background and the skills necessary to continue their education in college or enter the workforce or military service. After graduation, 92 percent of students continue their study of computer science or another STEM major such as information systems, mechanical engineering, cybersecurity, or physics. Our graduates have been accepted to Carnegie Mellon, University of California-Berkeley, Stevens Institute of Technology, University of Maryland, Georgia Tech, NYU, NJIT, Princeton, Rensselaer, Rochester Institute of Technology, and many other prestigious schools.

Sca ms Galor e At The Jersey Shor e By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – If it seems too good to be tr ue, or too weird even, it probably is. But scammers love to prey on people’s fears or ignorance. Area police are warning residents to be skeptical of phone calls, emails, or even letters that prey on those things. A scammer may have some personal data, such as the last four-digits of someone’s social security number. Posing as the IRS, they threaten to arrest people they claim have unpaid taxes. But the IRS will only contact a taxpayer
through the mail. If someone has questions about a communication received, they should call the IRS at 800-8291040, not another number provided by the scammer. Another scam tries to get grandparents to send money to a grandchild, or military families to send money to a soldier overseas. Whoever it is who needs money, they need it wired immediately “or else.” People are encouraged to never wire money to anyone. Confirm with a trusted family member at a recognized phone number first.
People who receive letters or phone calls about win ning a sweepstakes, usually ones they never entered, are then asked to pay a fee or provide account details to receive the prize. Do not provide this information, as it is probably a scam. Law enforcement has these other tips to follow: • Don’t wire money to anyone. • Don’t open unsolicited or unrecognizable emails. • Don’t rush into hasty decisions, which are often bad decisions. • Call the local police department to
report suspicious activity. • Check on social media accounts to see what information is public, and change privacy settings. • Shred documents with personal information on it. Local municipalities have shredding events throughout the year. • Check credit reports to track fraudulent charges. Everyone is entitled to one free credit report annually. Reports can be ordered from annualcreditreport. com, the only authorized website for free credit reports, or call 1-877-3228228.
Understanding Dupytren’s Contracture By: Ashley Intile, OT, Hand Therapist
H
ave you ever noticed a knot or lump located under the skin of your palm, causing your finger to bend inward, making it difficult to complete daily tasks such as buttoning your shirt, wearing gloves or reaching into your pocket? If so, you may be experiencing Dupytren’s Contracture.
• Overtime it may be difficult to lay your hand down flat.
WHAT IS DUPYTREN’S CONTRACTURE?
TREATMENTS OPTIONS
Palmar Fibromatosis, commonly known as Dupytren’s contracture, is a progressive condition that affects the layer of tissue that lies under the skin of your palm. The affected tissue called the palmar fascia, which covers the finger tendons thickens and shortens forming knots creating a thick cord that can pull one or more fingers into a bent position. The lumps or knots that form are uncomfortable to some people, however, rarely is it painful. Dupytren’s contracture mainly affects the ring and small finger, followed by the long finger, but it can occur in any digit. In many cases, both hands are affected, but each hand can be affected differently. CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS The cause for Dupytren’s contracture is unknown and there is no cure for this disease, however, the condition usually develops slowly and is nonlife threatening. The disease onset is seen in more middle-aged adults. It is shown to be more common in men than women and particularly those of Northern European descent. Certain things may make you more likely to develop Dupuytren’s contracture. They include: • • • • •
Drinking alcohol Diabetes Smoking Seizures Having a family history of Dupytren’s
• Thick cords may develop that feel like they are attached to the skin • One or more fingers bending or curling in toward the palm of the hand making it difficult to straighten. Occupational therapy can help treat your symptoms conservatively, however, because Dupytrens disease is a progressive disease the contracture cannot be changed unless there is some type of surgical intervention. In severe cases, various treatment options are available to straighten the finger. These options may include needles, injectable medicine, or surgery. After a surgical intervention is performed, occupational therapy is recommended to evaluate your condition, focus on helping individuals to maintain finger extension that was gained through the procedure performed and regaining functional use of your hand. In therapy a treatment plan will be designed specifically for you. The program will include specific therapeutic exercises to treat range of motion and strengthen any areas there may be a deficit. Treatment can include: • The therapist can fabricate a custom fabricated splint to the involve finger to maintain finger extension. This splint would be worn during activities throughout the day and at night. • Stretching and strengthening exercises in a pain- free range of motion to gain functional use of hand. • The therapist may use modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, scar tissue massage, and moist heat to relieve pain and inflammation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS • Lumps or knots start to form in the palm. The lumps may be tender to touch.
• Provide education on adaptive techniques and use of assistive devices to enhance functional abilities. Dupytrens Contracture can have a significant impact on all
your daily activities making them difficult to complete. Addressing this condition early can help slow the progression of the disease and have a better prognosis. At All-Care Physical Therapy, our Hand Therapist specialize in the treatment of Dupytrens and create custom fabricated splints. Contact your physician if you are experiencing
these conditions and ask if an Occupational Therapist at All-Care Physical Therapy can help.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Judge Rules Coffee Shops Must Display Cancer Warning By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
When I think of acrylic, my mind goes to nail salons where they apply hard acrylic to your fingernails…it doesn’t go to coffee or potato chips! But this compound is, in fact, almost always present in coffee and potato chips, as well as many other foods such as cereal, French fries, peanut butter… even prune juice. Acrylamide levels are higher in things that are fried like French fries. Just like frying, toasting can produce acrylamide that’s why dark toast is worse for you than light toast, as are well-down has browns, versus lightly browned ones… basically the darker (more cooked) areas on your food tend to have more acrylamide. Coffee is high in acrylamide and that’s why coffee shops are facing scrutiny now. I’d like a Vanilla Latte, double-shot, extra whipped cream, no acrylamide. Starbucks and other big-name cafes are under fire. You see, acrylamide is a compound known to the FDA as a “possible” carcinogen. To be fair, the carcinogenic potential of dietary-related acrylamide from foods and beverages is actually unknown. Natural coffee beans don’t have acrylamide, it happens during the refinement process. When coffee growers roast their coffee beans, the acrylamide content goes up to a certain degree. Then coffee houses prepare beverages for us (the consumer) and we drink it. Does that mean we’re drinking acrylamide? In recent breaking news, Superior Court
Judge Elihu M. Berle has just ruled that coffee companies like Starbucks, Peet’s and others will have to carry the cancer warning label in the state of California. I am confident this cancer-causing acrylamide problem won’t even impact their sales…not even a dollar! Coffee lovers aren’t going to run because we, as a nation, are fairly desensitized to toxins by now. Nobody cares if meat contains 28 different ingredients, aside from meat. Nobody cares if blueberry cereal doesn’t have real blueberries in it, but rather purple goo. Nobody cares if French fries are fried in disgusting oil. These are the foods that are the highest in acrylamide, so you’ll want to avoid or minimize these: • French fries and potato chips • Grains like pasta • Breakfast cereal • Darkly toasted bread or bagels • Certain cookies • Lightly roasted coffee beans • Peanut, almond or sunflower butter That’s just the main foods, there are others which I can share in my extended version of this article. I’ve written a much more comprehensive article about this, including more about why the foods above are high in acrylamide and what you can substitute. I’ve also offered a list of foods and supplements that offset the damage done by acrylamide. To get all of this, it’s simple. Just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you on Tuesday.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Wife Speaks For Me
Dear Joel, I’m happy to share that I don’t have an opinion….or at least that’s what my wife thinks. When someone asks if I like steak, she answers medium-rare. When they ask if I like baseball, she says Mets. Whether its little conversations or big decisions, I don’t have to worry what I think, my wife answers for me. Sometimes I would like to make a choice myself. ANSWER: As men, we often give up making many of the decisions about running a household, but your situation seems to have gone off the rails. Women are nurturers; they like it when everyone is happy and everything is in its place. You have to fi nd your voice again. Go on a date night and tell her
you will pick the movie, the restaurant and the menu selection, and if she butts in, she will pay for the whole evening. Pick up a dozen donuts and say I got these three for me and you can have the rest. Maybe when she starts seeing that you are capable, she’ll back off a little. If that doesn’t work, try answering some of the questions she gets asked. Hopefully, she’ll get the hint. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Is Your Property Being Properly Assessed
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In a prior article, we talked about how the basis of a residential real estate tax appeal is whether the property is being assessed by the municipal tax assessor greater than the property’s true market value. One of the issues in making this determination is how the tax assessment established by tax assessor equates to the true value of the property. In all municipalities in New Jersey, there is what is called the “equalization ratio”. This is the number, expressed as a percentage, developed by the local County Tax Board to equalize the difference in tax assessments between the various towns in the county. The purpose of the equalization ratio is to ensure that each town pays it fair share of the county taxes. This imbalance occurs because towns reassess or revaluate their tax assessments at different times. Thus, a town that reassesses its real property assessments in the current year will have different real estate values than a town that reassessed four years ago. In a rising market, properties in the town that just reassessed would have higher values than those in a town that had not re-assessed. The equalization ratio for each town can be obtained from the Tax Board in each county or the municipal tax assessor. In Ocean County it is available on the website for the Ocean County Board of Taxation. Accordingly, you must look at the equalization ratio for your town and use that with the tax assessment to determine what the town is showing as the market value for the property. To do this you must di-
vide the assessment by the equalization ratio. For example, a prop- Marc S. Galella Esq. erty that is assessed at $200,000.00 in a town where the equalization rat io is 96% would have a market value of $298,333.00. In another town where the equalization ratio is 86%, the town is showing that the market value is $232,558.00. In other words, to determine what the town is claiming as the property value you need to look at both the assessment and the equalization ratio. This number would then be the value to use in determining whether you should consider filing a tax appeal. For example, if your property is assessed by the town at $350,000 and your property has a market value of $360,000, you may think that you are being under-assessed and thus think it is not worthwhile to file a tax appeal. However, if the equalization ratio for your town is 84%, then your property value, as determined by the town, would be approximately $407,000. This means that the town is assessing your property for $47,000 more than its market value and a tax appeal may be an option. 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.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. Many cases are associated with exposure to high levels of ultra-violet radiation from the sun. “Acral-lentiginous melanoma” is a rare form of skin cancer. It can occur in body areas that receive limited UV exposure, such as toenails or the soles of the feet. A toenail melanoma may appear as a brownish-black streak that runs the length of the nail or as an irregular dark spot under the nail. If the line of discoloration or dark spot does not grow out as the nail grows, it should be evaluated by a podiatrist. Any areas of dark pigmentation on the soles that change in size or shape could signal melanoma. Unusual areas of pigmentation on the feet warrant professional, personalized attention. To get the treatment your feet deserve, and sometimes demand, call on us, the foot care specialists. If you have a foot problem, you’re not walking alone. Four out of five adults suffer from some kind of foot problem, and many smartly choose to have their problem treated by a specialist in foot care. FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER offers comprehensive family foot care for feet of all sizes and shapes at 4527 US Highway 9. Call (732) 370-1100 for an appointment. HINT: Acral-lentiginous melanoma is more common in people with dark skin pigment, but can affect lighter-pigmented skin as well. Early detection and treatment are extremely important.

MNHS Senior Selected As 2018 Coca-Cola Scholar MANALAPAN – Ariel Rakovitsky, a senior in Manalapan High School’s Science and Engineering Magnet Program, has been selected as a 2018 Coca-Cola Scholar. The students selected as Coca-Cola Scholars each receive a $20,000 college scholarship and join a family of alumni who are leading positive change around the world. Rakovitsky was selected from nearly 140,000 applicants from across the country. That pool was narrowed down from 1,936 Semifinalists to 253 Regional Finalists. In the end, 150 new Coca-Cola Scholars were chosen. According to the Coca-Cola Scholars Founda-
tion, “A Coca-Cola Scholar not only exemplifies superior leadership, service, and academics - they are change agents, positively affecting others in their community. These extraordinary humans are already society’s coffers with bolder action, more amazing technology, bigger advancements, healthier futures, and exponential possibility.” In addition to the scholarship, Ariel will also attend a Scholars Weekend in Georgia this April and participate in the foundation’s Leadership Development Institute. All recipients will be honored that weekend at the 30th annual Scholars Banquet.

Borrow-A-Naturalist
OCEAN COUNTY – Calling all Ocean County teachers! Are you sick of fluorescent lights? Tired of cutting through the red tape to run a field trip? Learn to use the resources at hand to run your own outing. Most of Ocean County’s schools are located in some of the richest and most unique natural areas in the country. Get at least four teachers together and set up an appointment for a naturalist to come to your school and get you up to snuff
on the general ecology of the schoolyard. This program is not just for science teachers. Teachers of any discipline from art to math will find practical applications for teaching in and about the environment. The naturalist can also answer questions and provide program ideas and curriculum resources. Contact Christopher Claus at 732-5065122, or cclaus@co.ocean.nj.us for more information or to set up an appointment.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of APRIL 14 - april 20 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Spending time with co-workers, friends and loved ones might be a prime motivating force in the week ahead. You may be tempted to fritter money away on lunches and others non-essentials. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Roses are red, violets are blue. A lot of flirting is going on around you. Although there may be plenty of social activities on your plate this week, avoid beginning serious new relationships. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Practice speaking the most diplomatic words to deal with people who are heavy-handed or domineering in the week to come. Display a talent for nurturing in your friendships and other relationships. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep a smile on your face in the week ahead even when people try to puncture your privacy. Avoid power struggles and the feeling of being manipulated by thinking for yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t start remodeling or new business projects in the week to come as your big ideas could outstrip your practical experience. You will need courage to fight off propaganda and negative influences. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Guard your tongue. Don’t discuss confidential matters in the week to come. Your good taste may exceed the depth of your wallet, but you will find a congenial someone to share the expenses.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A congenial atmosphere fosters tolerant attitudes and friction may fall by the wayside. Flirtatiousness may lead to compelling attractions but wait until late-week to act on them. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week to come it might be brought to your attention that even your well-known stamina has some limits. Rely upon trusted companions and your own sterling reputation to see you through. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your pennies in your pocket. In the upcoming week you may be tempted to make investments or spend a great deal of money. Hold off as a passing passion will evaporate quickly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put your big business and financial plans on hold. You might be obsessed about something or something, but it just won’t work out if you start it in the first half of the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Give those in charge the benefit of the doubt. Forgive past transgressions but don’t enter into any new agreements or binding contracts this week. Be willing to lend a sympathetic ear. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One good turn deserves another. Don’t be shy about granting favors for friends or partners as this week unfolds and you will find that your good deeds are reciprocated in kind.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Go Bananas! It’s Always The Right Time Of Year For This Frozen Treat By Wolfgang Puck I know fans of frozen desserts that will go out in a snowstorm for a scoop of their favorite flavor. If you love ice cream, you’ll eat it no matter what the weather is like. So, even though summer is still months away, it’s ice cream season now (and always). The same doesn’t always go for ice cream flavors based on fruit. Sure, you can go into the supermarket or a big-chain ice cream shop and get strawberry or cherry ice cream any time of year, even though those flavors depend on late-spring or early-summer fruit. But, for the best homemade fruit-flavored ice cream, I prefer to use fresh, in-season produce. One particular fruit, though, is reliable virtually any time of year: the banana. Grown in the humid tropics, bananas are always in season and almost never disappoint you; unless, that is, all you can find are green bananas, which will still ripen to brown-speckled yellow skins within three to four days. I love to use bananas to make ice cream, because the fruit itself has a smooth, creamy consistency already very much like that of the frozen dessert itself. And they become so sweet when fully ripened that you need to add very little sugar to sweeten the ice cream mixture itself. In fact, the bananas even benefit from a hint of sour tanginess from a generous dollop of sour cream to balance out the fruit’s sugars To get the fullest, sweetest banana flavor in the recipe for my banana sour cream ice cream, you must make absolutely certain that you use very ripe bananas; so ripe, in fact, that their skins are uniformly brown, with barely a hint of yellow. Start by buying the ripest-looking bananas you can find in the market. To speed up ripening, detach those you plan to use from whatever bunch you’ve purchased, and put them in a loosely closed brown paper bag at room temperature. The bag will contain the ethylene gas bananas naturally emit as they ripen, speeding up the process. You can even boost the process by adding to the bag an apple or a tomato, both of which also give off ethylene. In addition to the sour cream in my recipe, I also enhance the banana flavor by including touches of two other compatible flavors: mellow honey and earthy, slightly astringent walnut extract. The result is a surprisingly complex-tasting yet still mild, even soothing treat. What could be better? Add to each serving a generous drizzle of my simple bittersweet chocolate sauce. The result is like having a fantastic chocolate-covered frozen banana in a bowl!

8 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar 2 cups (500 mL) milk

2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 1 vanilla bean, carefully split lengthwise with a sharp knife 4 overripe bananas, skins very covered in brown spots 1/4 cup (65 mL) sour cream 2 tablespoons mild honey 1 teaspoon walnut extract Simple bittersweet chocolate sauce (recipe follows) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat. While whisking the egg yolk-sugar mixture continuously, slowly pour about a third of the hot milk-cream mixture into the yolk mixture. Then, stir in the remaining milk-cream mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Rest a fine-meshed wire sieve over a large, cold bowl. Pour the hot cream-yolk mixture through the sieve. In a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine peeled bananas, sour cream, honey, and walnut extract. Process until smoothly pureed, stopping as needed to scrape down the bowl. Pulse in a little of the creamyolk mixture to liquefy the banana mixture; then, stir the banana mixture into the creamyolk mixture until smooth. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until cold, 1 to 2 hours. Transfer the mixture to an ice-cream machine and free following the manufacturer’s instructions. Serve with simple bittersweet chocolate sauce. SIMPLE BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE SAUCE Makes about 3 cups (750 mL) 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 10 ounces (300 g) good-quality bittersweet chocolate, 65 percent to 70 percent cacao, chopped Pour the cream into a large saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and taking care not to let the cream boil over. Put the chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl. Pour the boiling cream over the chocolate. Let stand so the hot cream softens the chocolate, about 1 minute. Carefully stir with a whisk to blend the sauce, carefully scraping down the bowl sides occasionally. Use the sauce immediately. Transfer any leftover sauce or all of it, if you like, to a covered container and refrigerate for up to several days. Rewarm gently in a double boiler or in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat.
