By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Everyone thinks Denise Maynard lives in Lakehurst because she’s always there, camera in hand, ambling Lake Horicon. She remembers when Harry Wright Lake was built (and went to school with his grandson),
although she hasn’t been to the lake in ages. She’s part of the fi rst graduating class of Manchester Township High School. She grew up in the Beckerville section of the township, and today lives in Pine Acres Manor, just about a mile away from the lake.
But it’s to Lake Horicon she goes, nearly every day, to photograph the flora and fauna surrounding its shores. She shares her photographs on Lakehurst New Jersey Facebook group. The photos of birds and sunsets have drawn people out to the (Photographer’s - See Page 4)

lake, and sometimes Maynard gets recognized as “that lady who posts the pictures.” “I’ve always had a fascination with photography, but I think that stems from my grandmother’s side,” Maynard said. Her great-uncle Leonard was a professional shutterbug, some of whose work she has at home. “I’ve always been fascinated with cameras, ever since I was a little kid.” Her first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 110, complete with flash cubes. And she photographed then what she photographs now: nature. Animals. Bugs. Flowers. Landscapes. “I’ve always been a nut for that kind of thing,” she said. She upgraded from her 110 to a Canon 35mm format, and then got to borrow a Nikon DSLR from a friend to photograph her nephew’s race car races. She upgraded to the Nikon D3300 and has a 300mm lens attached, although she dreams of a 500mm lens someday. She also shoots with a 70mm and 200mm. She uploads her day’s work to her computer and makes some adjustments on basic editing software, no Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. She’ll sharpen a photo or adjust white balance, but otherwise prefers its raw, natural look best. As for others’ work, “Sometimes I see it so Photoshopped it doesn’t look natural.” Like many film purists, Maynard initially shunned digital photography. But a visit to Rand’s in Silverton and a promise made her The General’s
change her mind. The salesman sold her a Canon DSLR. “‘If you do not like this camera and the pictures,’ he says, ‘I will take everything back without question,’” Maynard recalled. She didn’t return the camera, and fully embraced digital. She’s self-taught and has several professional photographer friends she can lean on for advice. “To me, photography is an art form. I’m very crafty and to me this is a form of art. It’s my way of expressing things,” Maynard said. “I like to look at things not for what they are but what they could possibly be. People bypass so many things. They walk right by things and not look at them. I can find a stone and say, ‘Oh, look how the light is shining on that. Isn’t that pretty?’” Raindrops on branches. Light hitting a leaf just right. A feather caught in the grass. But she loves photographing animals best. When the borough drained the lake this past winter, a sandbar emerged which allowed Maynard to get out to photograph a bald eagle. Her favorite spot is the island, connected to the main land by a tiny wooden bridge. She sits on the bench on the island for a nearly 360-degree view of Lake Horicon. The island offers views of beavers, ducks, six great herons, hawks, osprey, geese, owls, and eagles. “There’s a greater diversity here the last couple years,” Maynard said. “There are more and more different species of duck. The cormorants are here this year.” But it’s more than the wildlife and scenery that draws Maynard to Lake Horicon.
–Photo courtesy Denise Maynard “It’s the calmness. The water is calm. You sit here in the evenings, you’ll see me and mother sitting along the shore watching the sun set, and you sit here, and the coolness of the water and the breeze and the quiet…people come along with their dogs and they stop and they talk,” Maynard said. “And it’s the water. I like to be around the water. It’s just calming.”
Maynard remembers swimming in the lake as a child. It hasn’t changed much since then. (Photographer’s - See Page 23)

Co-F ounder Of Grunin F oundation P asses
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation has announced that one of its co-founders and co-chairs, Linda Kalmanowitz Gr unin, passed away suddenly at the age of 75. The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation has been the impetus for a number of philanthropic causes, including, but not limited to: an $8 million pledge for a performing arts high school that will be built on the campus of Ocean County College, the Center for the Arts at OCC, an arts and education building for Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, and the Protectors of Freedom and Welcome to Ocean County statues in Toms River. Her son, Jeremy Grunin, is the president of the foundation. He said at an event celebrating the future performing arts academy that naming a building isn’t an act of vanity but an act of leadership. It inspires other people with means to invest in the community. As such, they were going to forego taking

Completion of the project will qualify the girls to apply for their Bronze Award. Palmer welcomed their efforts to beautify Pine Lake, and thanked the girls for volunteering for this community service project.

the naming rights of the building in order to encourage another entity to take up that charge. “Linda was a remarkable woman, a respected lawyer, and a savvy businesswoman,” her obituary stated. She was born in Brooklyn but was raised at the Jersey Shore. Born in 1943, she was “always ahead of her time.” She graduated cum laude from Smith C ol lege i n M a s s a chu s e t t s a nd he r doctorate from New York University’s School of Law, where she was one of 10 women graduating in a class of 300. It was also there that she met her future husband, Jay, and they settled in a little shore town called Toms River to practice law. They eventually expanded their business to investing in real estate, like the spot on Route 37 where the super Walmart was proposed. “Linda’s work ethic, moral approach to the law and ability to relate to her client’s needs made her one of the most respected at tor neys in the cou nt y,”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL “Fake News” Is Affecting Everyone. Even You. How many times have you scrolled through social media and just shook your head at what someone shared? People who you thought were intelligent are showing their true colors by sharing some really stupid things. I don’t want to call anyone out by name, but I have even seen our local elected officials be misled by something they saw on what they thought was a legitimate news site. That’s why I was happy to see the Brick library host a program 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 opposition is not. Everyone questions information they don’t agree with but will agree whole-heartedly with whatever information confirms their beliefs. There’s even a term for this: confirmation bias.
I know that I’m inviting criticism by publishing this in a newspaper, but you should know that we always strive for fairness and accuracy. Most of the reporters I’ve worked with at other local papers do so as well. Mistakes do happen, but there is a difference between an honest mistake and intentionally misleading people. If you fi nd something that you want the world to know about, pause a second before you hit that “Share” button. Is the information too good to be true? Or too one-sided? Or, did you not even read the whole thing before sharing? Please, take a second to really process what the article is trying to make you feel. Because someone is shaking their head at what you’re sharing, too. Chris Lundy News Editor

Letters To The 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 illegal The Editor countable “Health Profesfi 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

Navy Lakehurst Historical Society Receives Grant Funding
LAKEHURST – To address the need to increase capacity internally and externally, Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, Inc. was awarded funding in the amount of $2,500 through the “Good Neighbor Grant” by the Oceanfirst Foundation. Navy Lakehurst Historical Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1975. For 43 years NLHS, Inc. has been open to those who seek knowledge on Naval Aviation including Lighter than Air operations. However, the heritage is so much more than tours of the historical Naval Chapel, Hanger One and the Hindenburg Airship Disaster of May 6, 1937.
The NLHS museum tour guides take visitors through over a decade of historical information including many displays never before seen by many. In certain instances, some visitors return after their initial visit due to the detailed volumes of historical artifacts. The mission of the NLHS is to support and promote the preservation of Naval Aviation, particularly to protect the rich history of US Naval Aviation and of the Naval Air Station-Lakehurst and to collect, restore, preserve, and organize the records, artifacts and aircraft of Naval Aviation at Lakehurst, NJ.

Scams Galore At The Jersey Shore
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – If it seems too good to be true, 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 800-829-1040, 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 winning 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 1-877322-8228.

National Public Health Week
OCEAN COUNTY – As part of the upcoming National Public Health Week, The Ocean County Health Department and communities all across the United States are recognizing the importance of behavioral health as a key component of making the U.S. the healthiest nation in one generation. About one in every five U.S. adults — or more than 43 million people — experience mental illness in a given year. Of particular concern, according to Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, is an epidemic of opioid addiction that’s killing thousands of Americans each year and hundreds right here in Ocean County in the last several years. This epidemic, according to Freeholder Director Little, is overwhelming local law enforcement, public health and child protective systems. Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator remarks that: “… recent data show that only about 10 percent of the millions who need addiction treatment actually get it according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As such, addiction support as a part of behavioral health awareness is crucial to our overall public health in Ocean County.” The Ocean County Health Department strives to assist residents battling with behavioral health issues, according Mr. Regenye, who adds: “Our agency has multiple contracts throughout Ocean County for residents with s u b stance use disorder and any resident looking to get into treatment may call 732-341-9700 x7538 for information and referral to appro-
priate providers. “In addition, The Teen Intervene program contracted through Preferred Behavioral Health of NJ is evidence based early intervention program for youth 13-19 which engages both the teen and the parents in three or four-sessions. Teen Intervene is a unique and comprehensive program created with a specific focus on alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco use and is proven to reduce the use of both alcohol and marijuana when measured at six and twelve months following intervention. “As well, the Health Department funds the Recovery Peer Outreach Support Team (RPOST) to assist those in Ocean County who are battling with addiction and offering One to One Person Centered Peer Support and group sessions for individuals 18 years of age and up. This program helps residents re-establish wellness with the help of peers who have personal experience with addiction. “Recognition of mental health illness, addiction and suicide prevention initiatives will pay great benefits toward the improvement of public health and as such, the Ocean County Health Department is pleased to advocate for improved access to mental and behavioral health services as the first component of National Public Health Week.” For more information regarding National Public Health Week in 2018 please call Director of Administration and Program Development Brian E. Rumpf, Esq., at 732341-9700, ext. 7210. You can also visit the Health Department website at www.ochd.org or follow the Health Department at Twitter@ OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

Residents are limited to six boxes or bags of documents per event. Each location will run the complete schedule or until the truck is full; one truck can hold 10,000 to 12,000 pounds of paper. Ocean County also offers drop-off boxes at both County recycling centers for shredded office paper. This is where you should bring shredded office paper instead of placing it in curbside recycling receptacles. “Recycling helps to save landfill space and protects the environment. We encourage our citizens to take advantage of the programs offered and to help make a difference in preserving our natural resources,” said Little.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Why Does Your Hearing Aid Break Down?
Most people who wear hearing aids were never told that they could expect a breakdown at least once a year. It is very important that you request a three-year warranty and insist on a loaner if your hearing aid has to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. Depending on the manufacturer, it could take up to three weeks to receive your hearing aid back from repair. The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax. Most hearing aid patients are given a tiny wax pick, which may have a small brush on one end of it. This small instrument is not effective in cleaning wax out of the receiver bore. What I recommend is the use of a soft toothbrush. You should briskly brush the two holes of your hearing aid every day. Another common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture. It is important that you open the battery door
every night to dry out your hearing aid. If your hearing aid continues to intermittently work, you should request a dry aid kit or an electronic dehumidifier from your dispensing audiologist. The third most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is your batteries. Make sure that the batteries that you purchase have a freshness date. Ask your dispensing audiologist for a battery tester if you are unsure if your battery is working or not. Almost every day a patient will come into my office complaining that their hearing aid is dead. The problem, in most instances, is a dead battery. I suggest purchasing either Rayovac, Energizer or Power One batteries. Finally, it is important that you have your hearing aid serviced by your dispensing audiologist at least two times a year. These tips should certainly prolong the life of your hearing aid.
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!
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.

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.

Photographer’s: Continued From Page 4
Maynard’s grandfather, Harry Brown, an army enlistee stationed at Fort Dix, got an acre of land for subscribing to a newspaper. He settled here in 1924. Maynard said he was a bit of a character with a sketchy past. Her mother, his daughter, is one of eight children total, one of five daughters raised in Beckerville. The family recently found out they are part of his second family; he was married and divorced, possibly in Europe although no
Budget:
Continued From Page 1 or “miscellaneous” revenues. “We never want to take more from surplus than we are pretty well assured of replacing during the year,” Bartlett said. “This is a fiscally responsible budget,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “It is fiscally prudent. It will allow us to maintain our AAA bond rating, funds our programs and services and allows us to invest in our infrastructure.”
one knows for sure. “Harry Brown” is an alias he lived under his entire life; he was born in Germany (not Denmark, as the family fi rst though) and believed the Germans were “after him.” “He just loved the land. He bought acres and acres of land over in Beckerville,” Maynard said. Brown started as a chicken farmer and worked odd jobs on the base. He not only helped construct Hangar One but helped fight the Hindenburg fi re May 6, 1937. He saw the dirigible smoking as it flew over the homes, and jumped in his truck, racing through a shortcut in the
woods. The shortcut likely doesn’t exist anymore. Maynard’s mother was born in a house in Beckerville and stayed local. Maynard grew up on the family farm and promised her grandfather she would make sure her grandmother got to stay in the house after he passed. “All of the sisters have stayed in New Jersey within a 20-mile radius of their birthplace,” Maynard said. One aunt lives in Center Street, and has for years. “We just like the area. We have a lot of friends, a lot of family. People complain about
small-town living, but there’s a lot to be said for it. We have a lot of roots here, and we’re comfortable here. That’s why we stay. We just like the area.” Maynard will leave her job at K-Mart— she’s been with the company 40 years— and grab her camera before heading to the lake. “I can get my camera and walk around just kind of zone into just that and calm down and just breathe again,” she said. Maynard’s pictures can be viewed on the Lakehurst New Jersey Facebook group, facebook.com/groups/542663905810690/.
As excellent as its bond rating is, the county is seeking to use cash for capital when it can. The county included $25 million in such expenses for heavy equipment and infrastructure upgrades. “If you run into a problem in the future, if the tax base doesn’t grow, or if we happen to have some kind of disaster, that’s something you can easily cut back on, and not have to cut back on services and the things that you feel you must do,” Bartlett said. “It’s a shock absorber.” All services are maintained from last
year, Bartlett said. The county lost billions in ratables, both from the Great Recession at the end of last decade and Super Storm Sandy in 2012. The county is recovering - property values increased by 2.74 percent to $99.8 billion - but are still down about $9 billion from pre-disaster numbers. Bartlett expects the county to reach pre-Sandy numbers in about another 3 years. “But we were $20 billion under, so we’re getting that up,” Bartlett said. “In the
meantime, since we are starting to move back up, we’re moving to reduce the tax rate slightly, as we rebuild the tax base.” Ocean County is a conservative county, Bartlett said. “There’s a million good things you could do with more money, but guess what? The money comes out of someone’s pocket. People have good things they can do with their own money.” As the ratable-base grows, more money will f low into the county, more properties will be taxed, which should continue to decrease the county tax rate, he added.

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 divide the assessment by the equalization ratio. Marc S. Galella Esq. For example, a property that is assessed at $200,000.00 in a town where the equalization ratio 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.

Associated Humane Societies Offers Fire Safety Tips For Pets
OCEAN COUNTY - It is estimated that about 500,000 pets are affected by house fires each year. Statistics show that about 20 percent of all house fires start between 4 and 8 a.m., when residents are sleeping. “To lose a family pet under any circumstances is devastating. To lose a pet in a fire is beyond words,” said Roseann Trezza, executive director, Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park. “Firefighters will attempt to save family pets, but they need to have an idea of where they are in the house and if there are pets at all.” Associated Humane Societies offers pet owners special decals that, when prominently placed in front and back doors or windows, will alert fire or rescue personnel of the type and number of animals inside the home or apartment in case of emergency. A decal is especially important where
there are several dwellings, like condominiums, apartments or townhouses so firefighters know which living quarters contain pets. The four inch square decals are designed in standard fire department colors of red and yellow, with black type. These will affix to almost any surface, and have space available to write information in permanent marker or ballpoint pen. Cost is $2 for two decals and can be purchased by mailing cash or check with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Pet Decals, c/o Society, 124 Evergreen Ave., Newark, NJ 07114. And to help pet owners safeguard their pets and homes from fire and the damage it can cause, Associated Humane Societies offers the following tips: Be sure house numbers are clearly visible. In apartments, many animals have perished because fi refighters did not know which
houses or apartments had pets. Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s the single most important way to alert you and your loved ones of a hazardous condition. Place them on each level of your house. If you cannot afford one, contact your local fire department who will sometimes donate the devices. Keep burning candles out of the reach of pets and children and never leave burning candles unattended. A knocked over candle can ignite an entire house in a matter of moments. Consider opting for the many beautiful flameless candles now available. Check for loose wires and watch out for wire-chewers. Some curious cats, dogs and even rabbits will chew on electrical wires. Protect the wires or make them inaccessible. Make other electric appliances are turned
off and unplugged before leaving the house. Keep the clothes dryer lint-free and take extra precautions when drying foam-backed rugs, athletic shoes and other non-cloth items. If you leave the house without your pets, keep them in areas or rooms that are near entrances where firefighters will find them. Keep collars and leashes where you can easily grab them if you need to evacuate your home. Make sure your dog or cat is wearing proper identification or is microchipped. In case he or she runs out the door, your chances are much better of having your pet safely returned to you. Microchipping is safe, painless and a great way to identify missing pets. However, the information on the chip is only obtainable and useful if you remember to register with the microchip agency.

SUEZ Reminds Customers About National Safe Digging Month
OCEAN COUNTY – SUEZ today announced the importance of April as “Safe Digging Month,” ensuring the safety of residential and business customers, employees and the communities served by the company. The federally-mandated national “Call Before You Dig” number, 811, was created to help protect homeowners, contractors and utilities from accidentally striking underground utility
lines while working on digging projects. “Digging without knowing the approximate location of underground utilities such as water mains or buried electrical wires increases the likelihood of unintentional rupture, which can cause severe injuries as well as generate major service interruptions,” said Jim Mastrokalos, Director of Operations. “Although depths of pipelines, wires and cables vary, ensuring
public safety, protecting the environment and preventing service disruptions is crucial.” Mastrokalos said that residential and business customers are strongly encouraged to call 811 at least three business days before the start of a digging project, even if it involves planting a tree, a garden or installing a mailbox. When calling 811, homeowners and business owners are connected to the local one call
center, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators are then sent to the requested digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags, paint or both. Mastrokalos added that with April marking the traditional start of digging season and by calling 811 prior to the start of projects, homeowners and professionals are making an important decision that can help keep them and our communities safe and connected. Additional information about digging safely can be found at call811.com.

Fake News: Can You Tell What It Is?
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – You could wallpaper a room with lists of fake news sites, and the list continues to grow, said senior Ocean County library assistant in information services Elizabeth Bushong, who recently gave a PowerPoint presentation at the Brick Branch called “Fake News.” “Fake news is made-up stuff that has been manipulated to look like credible journalistic reports that are spread online to large audiences willing to believe the fictions and spread the word,” Bushong said during her session. It is a problem for many seniors, who might not be computer savvy, she added. When some are reading news on their computer, they need to know they’re looking at the right thing. Fake news sites can also be a problem for college students because their professors might be checking their sources, and using fake sites could affect their grade. Many people worldwide cannot tell the difference between fake and real news, which can and does create confusion about important issues. Fake news spans all kinds of media, including printed, online, podcasts, YouTube, radio and images. Even the best researchers are fooled occasionally, she said. “For example, Pope Francis did not endorse Donald Trump, but thousands of people shared the ‘news’ that he had done so. In the world of politics, being a misinformed citizen can be viewed as worse than being an uninformed citizen because misinformed citizens can state their beliefs and opinions with confidence and in turn affect elections and policies,” Bushong said. Real news is presented by real news sources, which could be accompanied by a code of ethics or a mission statement. Real news is written by reporters with degrees in journalism with the goal of informing readers, she said. “If you’re mad, scared, furious or anxious, you will want to investigate the article’s claims further,” Bushong said. “Real news can be verified. You should be able to find reports, statistics and other real news articles that support what you’re reading.” There are even fake and misleading stories related to medical treatment and diseases, which could lead to harmful decisions relating to your health, Bushong said. A person can become competent at learning whether news is fake or real through exercise and practice.
MAIN STREET SHELL
What makes a news story fake? First, the story can’t be verified. Even a fake story could have fake links, but they may not lead to articles outside of the site’s domain or it may not contain information pertinent to the article topic, Bushong explained. Other signs of fake news is it oftentimes appeals to your emotions, making the reader angry, happy or scared, and the news can’t be found on any other news outlet. “Fake news comes from fake sites,” Bushong said. “Did your news come from abcnews.com.co? Or mercola.com? Realnewsrightnow.com? These and a host of other URLs are fake news sites,” she said. Check the URL address itself: many credible academic databases end with .org, .edu or .gov. Websites sometimes use “click bait” headlines, which is a term used to describe a sensational, eye-catching link to a web page that entices a visitor to read on. Most are fake news sites produced by organizations and advertisers to improve click rates and generate income, she said. There are also satirical and comedy news sites, such as “The Onion” which readers might not realize are humorous and not factual, she said. Bushong said that in order to find out if an article is fake ask yourself, what is the point the article is trying to make? What kind of language is being used? Are there lots of exclamation points and bold type words that get your attention? Does the article provide evidence for its claims from good sources such as medical journals or statistical sites? Can the information in the article being independently verified? Also, is the author specialized in the field that the article is concerned with? You could check the author’s credentials by doing a Google search or checking Linkedin. Check the sources the author has used, Bushong suggested. “If you can’t find sources, read as much about the topic as you can to get a feel for what’s already out there and decide for yourself if the article is accurate or not,” she said. “If what you’re reading seems too good to be true, or too weird, or too reactionary, it probably is fake news,” she said. “Make sure to read an entire article before passing it on in your social media site to avoid embarrassing comments about its falseness,” she said.

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.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS, PC To drag one’s feet is to proceed slowly, reluctantly or without enthusiasm. To sweep someone off their feet is to overwhelm with charm. And to stand on one’s own feet is to be independent and self-supporting. These are just a few examples of the many sayings that refer to the feet. But some may ask, why feet? Simply put, because the feet are the foundation of the body and just like any other structure, the body without a strong foundation will begin to suffer possible serious problems, making proper foot care of the utmost importance. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, conveniently located in the Whiting Stop & Shop Shopping Center at 40 0 Lacey Road, Suite 9B, offers patients the exceptional care they deserve in the latest state-of-the-art facility by highly experienced and caring professionals. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists was originally founded by Dr. Scott Amoss in 2000 and was formerly located in Toms River. In 2005, seeing there was a great need for his ser vices in the area, Dr. Amoss relocated his practice to
Whiting. In February of 2014, with the need for more space to accommodate his expanding practice and to house newer, more technically advanced equipment, Advanced Foot & Ankle relocated to its present beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious facility. The personable Dr. Amoss is a highly-educated professional who is a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. The happily married father of three studied and received an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Cook College at Rutgers University. He became a member of a National Chemistry Honor Society and worked for several years as a chemist before he decided to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Amoss attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine where he finished fourth in his class of over 100 graduates and subsequently graduated cum laude in 2000. He is also the recipient of many honors and accolades, including Deans List recognition during all four years while attending the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. After completing a twoyear surgical residency at
William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Amoss received extensive training in fields such as orthopedics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology and radiology. Dr. Amoss was also on staff at the South Jersey Wound Care Center, the largest facility in South Jersey. His expertise and training has led him to be a Board Qualified Foot Surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. He is also a Diplomat American Board of Podiatric Medicine as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Dr. Amoss is currently on staff at Community Medical Center in Toms River and the Manchester Surgery Center, where he performs inpatient and outpatient surgery. He is also a member of the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society and American Podiatric Medical Association. The impressive qualifications at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists are not limited to Dr. Amoss. Those on his staff are all Certified Podiatric Medical Assistants through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Dr. Amoss and
his team of professionals treat all of the common foot ailments including hammertoes, bunions, athletes’ foot, ingrown nails and heel pain. “We treat all ages and everything from the knee down,” said Dr. Amoss, including P.A.D., or peripheral arterial disease, a common circulatory problem which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms such as leg pain when walking. This condition can also reduce blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs. Treatment for Achilles tendon, ankle instability, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle and foot are also addressed. The new facility also offers o n - site surger y, X-rays and biopsies, often finding sk in c anc e r that others may have missed. “With diabetes being on the rise, proper foot care for those with diabetes is a major concern,” continued Dr. Amoss. “With a diabetic foot, a small wound can be slow to heal, lead to
infection and sometimes severe consequences including amputation. However, at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, surgery is always a last resort.” Although prestigious qualifications are always important when choosing a physician, impressive qualifications in the compassion department are of equal importance. From the pleasant voice that answers your call to the smile that greets you as you walk through the door of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, there is a genuine feeling of caring, concern and compassion. You are never just a number at Advanced Foot & Ankle. Dr. Amoss and his dedicated team all agree that the most important and best part of their job is making a positive impact
on people’s lives. In short, their mission is “Making people feel better,” said Podiatric Assistant Kristen Valentino. All of your foot care needs are taken care of at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, which also offers a large and stylish selection and expert fitting of orthopedic and diabetic shoes and sandals. They even carry specially formulated nail polish for those suffering from fungal infections. Extras and details such as these are what makes Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists stand out from the rest. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists PC is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-350-0100 or visit them online at AdvFootandAnkle.com.

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! BANANA SOUR CREAM ICE CREAM Makes about 1 1/2 quarts (1/2 L) 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.
